Though true, now we have a chance to see how exactly it developed (if it did). Still, considering the show's genre I doubt we'll get much. Perhaps a throwaway reference toward the end (series-EW) to tie it in with FT but really, don't get your hopes up too high. Seeing as they're already cutting a lot of scenes from the series, additional stuff like this is unlikely to be incorporated.
Spoiler for family portrait?:
Add a couple of years to Duo and Hilde and you can pass this off as a family outing.
In all seriousness though, there's definitely something there. But whether they are just friends, lovers or dunno, something like siblings is up to every viewer to decide. Personally, I felt a lot of their scenes were rushed and forced but the general idea is that Hilde is Duo's "home to return to," as he himself says at the end of EW. So yeah, for all it's worth he loves her. In what way is up to everyone's preference.
Now, FT gives us some very odd developments concerning their characters and their relationship. I've said before that I'm not a fan of it since Duo got turned into a total douche for no reason, what with him marrying Hilde just because he wanted the joined assets to buy a motorbike. Likewise, Hilde agreeing to marry him just because he cuts the braid is stupid beyond belief. Hence, I'm disinclined to use it as an argument for the nature of their relationship in the series.
As for his family, he isn't married if that's what you want to know. Thanks to FT he decided to be all emo and to "neither love nor marry anyone" because he totally killed his mother and father and a crapload of soldiers. Taking the blame for everything, that's Quatre alright.
EDIT: As for the family business, Quatrine is treated as the heir now (hence the middle name which apparently only heirs have).

and about his Drunken Tony Stark condition on FT, i think that he lost his faith on himself after Hilde's death and only junior his holding him.
ex: he's didn't get the nanites to stop the rapid aging process thanks to his injuries after the bike accident, his wife died trying to find a cure for him and left him alone with his only son, his best friend was in Stasis,and the other pilots cound't do nothing to help him, things like that makes someone loose faith in himself after everything that happened, and only junior is there helping him, imagine a guy like him suffering from a severe case depression, but he's using all of his strenght to hide that, even from his Son and his Best Friend, if something worse happen for both two, i belive(i don't know) that most most foward he'll freak out and do the thing by himself(A freak out at the same level or worse than quatre when he build zero after his father's death).

Duo cared about a lot of people (he and Quatre were the only ones who seemed to want to get to know the rest of the anti-social group of pilots). He cared about the kids he ran with before getting to the orphanage. He cared about Heero, busting him out of an Alliance hospital, giving his gundam back, and offer help to fix it up. He could have just left him in the hands of the Alliance and gone with his original plan of using Wing as spare parts. He cared about Quatre, going out of his way to go visit him and telling him about where to find Trowa because he knew that Quatre was feeling guilty about what happened. Heck, he even cared about WuFei (and no one seems to care much about him)! I'm not quite sure where this notion that he wanted and actively kept people away came from when his personality is the exact opposite.
And last I recall, Duo said that Jr. isn't his son, even if Jr. is a xerox copy of him (and then the timeline makes it impossible for either Hilde or Duo to be Jr.'s parents... unless Duo was spreading his seed like Hilde said).

In there any chance of a Frozen Teardrop translation since zeonic-republic has dropped the translation project even though I do not like where the story is headed I grew up watching Gundam Wing and have always wanted another series with the original Wing cast and more of Wing Zero and Heero it seems like the Wing Series has the potential to be as popular as the UC but the writer are just taking the in a strange direction

In all honesty, you can get away with just reading the spoilers I translate each month... there's really nothing new aside from that. All of the important points are summarized from each chapter.
As for what the Gundams look like... we don't know. 17 chapters in and no appearance as of yet. I doubt we'll get them any time soon. I'm still trying to figure out why we have all of this useless background information being shoved down our throats anyways :/

Isn't there a Japanese site rewriting it not scanning? I can try my chances with translation programs or even google translation!!!
Or at least (or if my request is against the forum roles) can someone enumerate the chapters of FT out up till now?

I also don't get where the notion came from that Heero and Duo are best buds (probably the yaoi fandom >_>). Sure, they're friends but best friends? Those two don't even understand each other half the time whereas Heero and Trowa don't even need words to know what the other is thinking. Likewise, we see Duo and Quatre hang out together way more than any of the other pilots.
As for a summary, Deacon's timeline should do. part 1 part 2

Really? Only the Winner heirs have a middle name? I never heard of the at before... heck, I can't remember if Quatre's father had a middle name in the series. See, if Sumizawa would have told us that Katrine Oud was created so she could be the next heir to the Winner linage, because Quatre never married and fathered any kids, I think I would be more accepting about her existence. I still don't think that Quatre would clone himself just for this, but it would make much more sense then if he created her just to be spare parts!
-The title is "Rhapsody of Loneliness"
-Both Kathrina and Sabrina are on the cover (I think both have masks), and Kathrina is wearing Zechs' mask.
-There is a mention/memorial to Lady Une's voice actress Yuri who passed away not too long ago.
-Kathrina is wearing her Wyvrne piloting suit and sporting a mask (which is called or has the word "Zechs" on it?)
-The mask that Zechs wears later on is a copy (based off) of Kathrina's
-Eric proposes to Sabrina (thinking that this will help save Sanc?)
-There's a picture on P.315 that has an illustration of the Sanc Kingdom (and something to do with a king... can't figure this out too well)
-Heero Yuy (polotician?) and Trize look like/resemble Cinquante Khrushrenada. (I've no clue what's happening here) (or it could just mean that Trieze looks like both his grandfathers, Heero Yuy and Cinquante Khrushrenada).

But that last sentence is really throwing me off... The way it's structured makes me think that it's saying that Cinquante looks like the original Heero Yuy and Traize... but that doesn't make any sense, hence my assumption that it saids that Traize looks like both Heero and Cinquante (Again, this doesn't make sense because we were already told that Traize looks like his father, Ein Yuy).

I don't know who is who
But here is what I think it says
Kathrina is wearing the same mask as Zechs and is using the same last name as Zechs also it says that's where Zechs got his last name
It's Sabrina who proposes to Eric thinking it will help her Kingdom
Cinquante looks like both the first Heero Yuy and Treize not the other way around(no idea how that works)

- No suits to be shown this month also
- The title pic is Sabrina in a dress wearing a mask and Katerina wearing Zechs' mask
- A tribute to the actress who played Lady Une
- Katerina pilots the Wyvern dressed in military attire wearing the same mask as Zechs with the name "Cis Merquise" (Sis?)
- Zechs Merquise is later based on Katerine's
- Sabrina proposes to Eric personally for the country
- Pg.315 is a picture of the Sanc Kingdom's ruler Multics and Cis Merquise
- Pg.323 is a picture of the original Heero Yuy with Cinquante Khushrenana who resembles Treize

Cis is another name for C#. From a Latin perspective it also means "on the same side".

Pretty Sandals
"These fit my 8 year old just right. I was nervous the center toe piece would be uncomfortable but it's not. She wears them all the time and for hours at a time with no complaint. Super pretty but without being too 'babyish" for a big 8 year old girlie! Also got a matching pair for my 4 year old, but slightly more "toddler" in the style."

In the Bubble
It started at the age of six. All he needed was a ball and glove. Baseball was life.
"Dad coached me, and my mom played catch with me in the backyard. It was a whole family deal."
Growing up in Lawrence, Kan., Curtis Ledbetter's passion for the game only increased with age, and started to shape his future.
"It's what I wanted to do. The sport I wanted to pursue in college."
After playing one season at Garden City Community College, Curtis transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He was a three-year starter, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. During his senior year in 2005, Curtis earned Big 12 Tournament MVP honors, and helped the Huskers win their first College World Series game in school history.
"I fell in love with Lincoln," says Curtis. "I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to play baseball there."
After graduation, Curtis was drafted by the Seattle Mariners. He played three years of professional baseball before moving back to Lincoln. That's when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came his way.
"I was offered the position of Director of Operations for Nebraska baseball. My first interview for the job was with Coach Tom Osborne. Pretty neat experience. Made for one heck of a story."
In 2009, Curtis' story got even better. He proposed to his girlfriend, Monica on April Fools Day.
"Gives you a good understanding of our relationship," he laughs.
The two were married a short time later, and started trying to have a baby.
"After about six months, nothing was happening," explains Monica. "We sought help, and found out that we have male factor infertility, which affects 40 percent of couples. But, we were determined to have a family."
On January 12, 2013, the Ledbetters' dreams of having a baby finally came true. Monica gave birth to their daughter, Laney at 12:27 p.m.
"There's nothing like that feeling," a teary-eyed Monica remembers. "You talk to people who have children, but there's nothing like meeting that person you've been connected to for nine months. It's joy. Absolute joy."
Unfortunately, four months later, joy turned to panic. It was May 16, 2013. Monica and Curtis were both at work, when they received a call from Laney's caregiver. Their daughter was having a hard time keeping liquids down, and had no energy. Something was wrong.
"The look on Laney's face. I'll never forget it," says Monica. "She was only four months old, but she had a scared look in her eyes."
The next morning, Laney wasn't doing any better. Monica rushed her to a hospital in Lincoln. Doctors discovered Laney had a massive brain bleed. She was quickly hooked up to a ventilator and flown by helicopter to The Nebraska Medical Center.
"I was in shock. I didn't know how to act," admits Curtis. "Monica went in the helicopter with Laney, and I drove to Omaha not knowing if I'd ever see my daughter alive again."
When Laney arrived at the med center, Kenneth Follett, MD, chief of neurosurgery, informed the couple that their daughter needed emergency brain surgery to stop the bleeding.
"A blood clot was placing pressure on Laney's brain, and it caused one side to shift to the other side of the head," says Dr. Follett. "We occasionally see children with this, but what was remarkable in Laney's case, was the sheer size and effect it was having on the brain."
Once they took Laney to the operating room, doctors also discovered her INR (the measure of the blood's ability to clot) was above 7, the highest INR any surgeon in the room had ever seen.
"A normal INR is 1," explains Dr. Follett. "People who have a stroke typically have an INR of 2 or 3. Laney's was exceptionally high, especially for an infant."
After surgery, the next 48 hours were critical. A large team of doctors and nurses worked together, trying to figure out what caused the brain bleed in the first place.
"With a patient like Laney, you can't even take a minute off," says Andrew MacFadyen, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and pediatric intensivist with Children's Specialty Physicians. "Figuring out what exactly was wrong with Laney was intriguing from an academic sense. We suspected she had either a genetic abnormality that kept her blood from clotting properly, or a severe Vitamin K deficiency."
A blood test proved, Laney had no Vitamin K in her blood. It was the turning point that eventually led doctors to a rare diagnosis.
"Laney was diagnosed with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis Type 2," explains Monica. "Her liver doesn't produce bile and move bile the way it should, allowing Laney's body to absorb all the nutrients it needs. Unfortunately, the lack or build-up of bile means, her liver cells are choked off and eventually start to die. In order to survive, Laney will need a liver transplant."
While doctors still aren't sure when Laney will need a transplant, the Ledbetters are relieved to know, a plan and team of doctors are in place.
"We're able to live our lives each day," says Curtis. "Right now, Laney is doing so well. Her blood tests have been great, and she keeps progressing as a little person. The doctors at the med center gave Laney a second chance. I can't thank them enough. They kept our family together."
A family that now includes a few more faces.
"Our head baseball coach, Darin Erstad, has a saying, 'You're either in the bubble or you're not,'" smiles Monica. "Baseball life is a different life. You have people that you know you can open your life to. Now that bubble includes our nurses, doctors and surgeons at the med center. They helped us heal emotionally, mentally and physically for our daughter. I don't know if we would have had that experience anywhere else… they're in our bubble now."

Did you know you could be putting your health in jeopardy this very second? From sitting to slouching and even the simple act of breathing, check out the five worst health mistakes you are making right now
Incorrect breathing
Breathing is something that most of us do without much thought. However, did you know that there is a "correct" way to breathe, and - more importantly - you are probably not doing it? The fact is, many of us go through life breathing incorrectly, yet experts believe learning to breathe properly could help prevent many conditions including asthma, high blood pressure and anxiety.
Most of us take shallow breaths and breathe from our chests; however, breathing from the abdomen is considered to be healthier as it provides us with more oxygen with each breath. To help boost your physical and mental health, spend some time each day concentrating on your breathing technique, trying to focus on abdominal breathing. Incorporating regular breathing exercises into your routine is a good way to stay energised, healthy and stress-free.
Not drinking enough water
Did you know thirst can be a sign you are already dehydrated? Yet this is something many of us experience on a daily basis, as many people underestimate the importance of drinking enough. However, although feeling thirsty every now and then is unlikely to be a cause for alarm, getting enough fluids is essential for keeping your organs healthy, increasing energy levels, helping detoxify your body, curbing hunger, improving digestion and reducing fluid retention.
Furthermore, drinking water is also one of the cheapest beauty treatments around, helping to promote a clearer, more radiant complexion. Though there is no definitive guideline for how much you should drink, try to have some water to hand - keep a bottle in your bag and on your desk and take regular sips throughout the day.
Poor posture
Shoulder, back and neck problems account for a large percentage of work absence rates, yet much of this is related to poor posture. Many of the physical problems related to poor posture, including headaches and digestive problems as well as back and neck pain, are avoidable and can be alleviated by paying attention to your body's position, particularly while you are sitting at your desk.
Slouching at or hunching over your desk are reasons why office workers in particular suffer so much with back pain. To avoid this, make sure your monitor is high (level with your eyeline) so you are forced to sit upright and with a straight back. Although this will be tiring at first, your body will soon adapt to the position as your core strength improves. You can also improve your core stability and the flexibility of your spine through exercises such as yoga and Pilates, which will improve posture and help prevent back pain and associated health problems.
Sitting down
According to a number of research studies, sitting for long periods of time puts you at risk of dangerous illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes, even if you are otherwise physically active. This is particularly bad news for office workers who are obliged to sit still for prolonged periods of time.
If you spend a lot of time sitting still at work, try to make an effort to move more often throughout the day in any way you can. Have standing meetings, set yourself a reminder to regularly get up and stretch, take more trips to the water cooler, or organise your workspace so things are out of reach. Even the smallest activities can make a difference to your health. You should also make an effort to stay active during your time away from the office; go for a walk, run or exercise on your lunch breaks and keep active throughout your evenings.
Taking on too much With many of us juggling personal commitments alongside heavy workloads, hectic to-do lists are a common feature of most of our lifestyles as we continually try to multi-task and squeeze too much into our days. However, although you may think you are being dynamic and productive, you could be compromising your mental and physical health, as well as the quality of the tasks you are completing.
Not only can multi-tasking lead to stress and anxiety, having a hectic to-do list can cause you to miss out on sleep. Furthermore, a busy lifestyle can lead to erratic eating patterns and a reliance on unhealthy fast foods, and having a busy day can also cause you to miss out on essential breaks, which are good for mental health as well as productivity. To look after your mental and physical health, make a list of tasks and priorities and get rid of any tasks that aren't completely necessary. Also, make sure you take all the breaks you are entitled to and find some time at the end of each day to relax and unwind.

This very short vid raised my interest in this game alot. and if it gets me to buy this game then they did there jobs right. congrats to them for putting out a very compelling video.
I was there, I fought in that battle where the Grand Companies are clashing with the Garlean Empire. I was there when the server wide announcements that used to call out the next area being invaded by the Empire simply said "Counfound it! We have lost contact with the main host!" and then the server shutdown at midnight on the dot. Then they released this video.
Pretty much every character with facetime in the video is a character you interact with during the game. Every quest in the game from the moment you make a character has lead to that single moment. Even a version of that same song plays while watcing a vision of fire raining from the sky in the first 10 minutes of playing the game.
Poor Louisoix!
I am so glad others can share in the feelings watching this video brought to me, even if just a fraction. I have faith that A Realm Reborn will be utterly amazing, the dev team has proven to me what a fantastic job they can do already.
Here is to the end of the world, and to A Realm Reborn.
PS. Bahamut > Deathwing. Deathwing broke a few zones, flooded some others, flew around lighting thigns on fire and ended up getting torn apart and tossed into the ocean by 25 random nobodies. Bahamut showed up and simply ended the world, despite THE GODS trying to re-imprison him because he was too powerful to be slain. Like, he literally broke the game he was in. They had to rebuild it from the ground up! Just sayin'

I don't really consider it a game trailer, but a cgi to show the end of an era as is titled, the character models are horrible in what way? show me what you consider better character models. Compared to some games out there, they are pretty decent.
Totally agree, it is well known that square-enix (especially the FF series) been always the leading CGI and character model creater in the industry since decades ago. They are some big name out there make good CGI once a while (blizzard for example, maybe once every year?) But square-enix been making CGI like this much more frequently and always been at the top quality level. Some people may not like the anime-ish character, but you can't deny the quality of the video base on personal taste.

This might be fuuny to hear but square used to have great story telling, there was a reason that final fantasy 1 took the company from bankrupcy to where they are today. At the same time i feel that they have grown so comfortable so safe that only the failure of 14 shook them up to realize that the reason people bought their games, whether it was 1 or 2 or 6 or 7 was because it told a GREAT story even if the gameplay was a minor thing. Unfortunely in the MMO world Gameplay does weigh in as much as story amoung other things. Companies that make great single rpgs need to realize if you make a MMO it needs to be a world not what alot of these guys have brought so far.
I still think SE got good story telling, tbh FF series are probably the only RPG i play nowday that i actually read the character conversation and try to understand the story, most other I will just fast forward/skip most of the time. But imo it is a bit harder to do the story telling for MMO, solo RPG and MMORPG story telling is totally different story.
Hopefully they wont overprice the relaunch.
I'd give it a try for 5$ for the first month (with no need to buy the physical game, ie: free digital download)
Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.

I think Bahamut was actually created in 1975 (in dungeons and dragons)
In Final Fantasy:
Japanese release was in 1987 and came to America in 1990.
All of these dates are before Deathwing and the fact is, Bahamut is, and will always be, way cooler than Deathwing could ever hope to be, even as an airship.
Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.
in order for this game to not fail Enix has to be in no way involved. They admit that the orginal failed because it was rushed then they state this remake will be done by 2013 which is admitting they're rushing the remake as well.
RIP Final Fantasy

Your comment is old. I've seen this one all over the internet on about every news article out there. If you're going to comment, at least be constructive.
On a more serious note, I'm glad they posted this because I don't scan the internet for all gaming related news ever created. I go for MMORPG.com if anything.

Props to Square for taking it the complete revamp route.
Something EA/Bioware should have done with SWTOR.
May pickup the revamp both to hopefully enjoy it and also to support the idea that redoing entirely is better than sticking to a terrible shell of a game like other companies do.
SE had a good chance to go for that as they have PS3 FF XIV launch to aim for. The alpha footage which is ciculating the web now shows that a good job has indeed been done. I think we could be talking a condole mmo treat for many.

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode Europe: Triumphs of the Past looks at displays of power.
Jonathan Bate, Shakespeare scholar
Ceremony is the thing that makes a monarchy happen. In Shakespeare's Henry V, the King reflects on the importance of ceremony, but he refers to it as `idol' ceremony.
The English have always done royal ceremony and pageantry very well and it is one of the main devices that keep the monarchy going. So in Shakespeare's time, something like the funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth or the coronation procession of King James would have been huge public events, the streets of London would have been thronged and the elite would actually have been there in the Abbey, at the front when the coronation or the burial took place.
There is an interesting difference between the way that Queen Elizabeth and King James used ceremony. Elizabeth, perhaps because of her insecurity about her own position on the throne, as a woman, a woman without an heir, and a Protestant, relied a lot on public ceremony, processions through the streets and indeed through the nation; visitations to great aristocratic households. She also moved a lot from palace to palace; the court was mobile. One week they would be at the palace at Whitehall and another week they would be down river at Greenwich, another week up river at Nonesuch or Richmond. The public saw this extraordinary bejewelled figure of the Queen.
King James was reluctant to display himself in public in this way. He did make use of ceremony, in particular made use of theatrical entertainments with the court masks in which the royal family and the courtiers participated in theatre and music and dancing. But this was very much an enclosed thing aimed at the elite who were invited to attend, aimed at visiting royalty, visiting diplomats and so on. So there is an interesting contrast between the importance of public spectacle for Queen Elizabeth and this more private, enclosed sense of the court that King James had.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Transient tachypnea, or TTN, occurs when a newborn has extra fluid in his lungs, causing him to have difficulty breathing. TTN is sometimes called "wet lung" or type II respiratory distress syndrome and occurs in approximately 1 to 2 percent of newborns.
While in utero, a baby's lungs are filled with amniotic fluid. Most of this fluid is squeezed out of the baby's lungs with each contraction during birth, and any remaining fluid is either coughed up shortly after birth or gradually absorbed into the bloodstream.
In a baby with TTN, the extra fluid in the lungs is absorbed too slowly, making it difficult for the baby to take in oxygen and the baby must breath harder and faster to compensate. Symptoms of TTN may be similar to other respiratory problems, so doctors will usually perform a chest x-ray to make an accurate diagnosis. Symptoms include:
Rapid, labored breathing (tachypnea) of more than 60 breaths a minute
Grunting or moaning sounds when the baby exhales
Flaring nostrils or head bobbing
Retractions (when the skin pulls in between the ribs or under the ribcage during rapid or labored breathing)
Cyanosis (when the skin turns a bluish color) around the mouth and nose
TTN occurs in both premature and full-term babies; although premature babies tend to develop TTN more frequently because their lungs are not fully developed. Newborns who are at higher risk of TTN include those who are:
Delivered by c-section
Born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy
Born to mothers with diabetes
Small at birth
Babies who are born via c-section or a very fast vaginal delivery are at higher risk because they do not experience the pressure of passing through the birth canal, which squeezes out some of the fluid. Some doctors believe that TTN may be the result of inhibited release of the hormone epinephrine, which facilitates the clearing of fluid from the lungs.
Babies with TTN may be placed in the NICU for observation and treatment to ensure their breathing rates slow and oxygen levels remain normal. Some may need to receive extra oxygen through a mask or under an oxygen hood. If a baby continues to struggle to breathe under an oxygen hood, doctors may use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), in which tubes are inserted in the baby's nose and a machine supplies a continuous stream of pressurized air.
Babies with TTN often cannot coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing at the same time, so they frequently require an IV to prevent dehydration and maintain their blood sugar levels.
TTN usually clears up within 24 to 48 hours and all symptoms disappear within 72 hours, leaving the child healthy and without any long-term effects. If fluid persists after that period of time, doctors will probably investigate other medical problems that may be causing the distress.

For Itawamba Indians head coach Jon Williams, watching faxes being received on Wednesday was a cool thing.
For one day on the calendar, faxes were cool for college head football coaches, including Williams and Northeast Tigers Ricky Smither, who collected their 2013 signing classes.
"I think our signing class was small by design, we chose quality over quantity," said Williams, who saw ICC ink 25 players. "We were able to be very specific with our needs."
Fourteen of those signees were from the Journal circulation area.
"We're really excited about A. J. Hunt from Saltillo," Williams said. "And Devin McIntosh from Amory is a wide receiver that has caught a lot of balls the last two years.
"We also got Class 5A Defensive Lineman of the Year Xavier Pegues from Oxford, and offensive lineman Kasey Grice from Tupelo, a picture perfect type of guy we want for our tackles."
Williams also was quick to point out 6-foot-3 Quinton Lane from Ackerman, who could play both ways – as could Hunt – and could impact special teams as well.
Late in the recruiting period, Smither indicated that most of the potential Tigers signees were within 100 miles of the Northeast campus, and the Northeast haul of 37 signees backed that up .
"I thought it went well," Smither said. "We saw some good local kids in our old district.
"The biggest thing I was impressed with, was that the kids we recruited stayed with us."
One of Smither's biggest grabs was offensive lineman Ross Smith from Booneville, one of 18 area signees.
Northeast also picked up nine players from state champions South Panola (6A), Starkville (5A), and Noxubee County (4A).

Anyway, I also think aggeroff might be right about the blind guy being both Fujitora and Kyros. One thing I don't understand though, why do people keep getting fooled about Luffy's appearance with this many wanted posters around? Granted that a person might change but that much. "An-eight-metre-giant" lol. Anyway the best chapter for a while now.
Lastly I hope Cavendish is on block C so Luf....sorry...Lucy could curb stomp him for shits and giggles. He would count himself Lucky for not meeting Kidd first,.......lol.

Statement for the Intergovernmental Negotiations on Security Council Reform
New York, 8 May 2014
Statement for the Intergovernmental Negotiations on Security Council Reform by H.E. Ambassador Karel van Oosterom Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations on behalf of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on the issue of "Security Council Reform - cross-cutting issues".
Thank you Mr. Chairman,
I have the honour to speak on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium.
I would like to reiterate the kind condolences to you for the victims of the landslide in your country, as so warmly expressed by the distinguished representative of St. Lucia.
We thank you for convening this meeting on the topic of cross-cutting issues that relate to more than one of the five key issues. The "cross-cutting issues" chapter in the non-paper of the PGA is relatively short, but it mentions one very important issue, namely the review clause. We believe a review clause to be a means of ensuring that we do not close the door on introspection once our appetites for reform are satisfied. A review after a predetermined number of years would allow us to assess the impact of reforms, take into account the geopolitical realities of that moment, and recalibrate where necessary.
Mr. Chairman,
Since we are approaching the end of this cycle of debates, we would like to reiterate that the Netherlands and Belgium feel a strong and growing sense of urgency to achieve concrete results. In order to make progress, all member states should be genuinely willing to engage in a process of give and take. The Netherlands and Belgium are willing to consider any proposal that might result in an agreement on how to make the Council more equitable, more legitimate, more accountable, more effective, more inclusive and more transparent.
At the same time we need to be realistic. The idea that the Security Council needs to be enlarged seems to resonate with everyone, but it is evident, also form the discussion today, that beyond that, consensus on how to reform the Council is not much nearer now than it was at the end of the previous round of Intergovernmental Negotiations.
Nonetheless, the contours of a possible agreement to advance our common interest seem clear: we believe many delegations in this room have spoken in favour of an expansion in both permanent and non-permanent categories, in order to increase the legitimacy of the Council. In addition, Mr. Chairman, we believe that broad support was voiced for increased representation of Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the Western Europe and Other States groups; we believe that broad support was voiced for LDC's, middle income countries and SIDS to be taken into consideration; for Security Council reform to include further improvement of the Council's working methods; for better coordination and cooperation between the Security Council and the General Assembly; and for increased transparency to the wider membership and the international community at large. And of course some of the improvements in working methods as discussed already should be implemented by the sitting members of the Council.
Furthermore, a lot of Member States seem to agree that there is an urgent need to reform the use of the veto, especially in situations in which mass atrocity crimes occur or are imminent. For only a few have the power to wield a veto, while all of us bear responsibility for failing to act when we should.
Mr. Chairman,
Many countries, including Belgium and the Netherlands, have requested a Chair's summary of sorts. It would be unfortunate to walk away from yet another round of negotiations without an idea about the next steps in the reform process. We depend on you, Mr. Chairman, to present a summary and sketch the next steps in the process.
I thank you

The anticipated arrival of 120,000 visitors has downtown Parker businesses going all out for the occasion.
Thousands of international visitors and American golf fans will descend on the town for the Solheim Cup, a U.S.-vs.-Europe women's golf tournament at the Colorado Golf Club Aug. 13-18. Businesses began hanging decorations and placing flags along Mainstreet the week of Aug. 5, and Big Plan Creative, a company hired by the Town of Parker, painted festive Solheim Cup signs on shop windows Aug. 6-7 to welcome the out-of-towners.
Restaurants are altering their menus, offering specials to those who wish to try the local fare, and adorning their patios with international flags and golf-themed signs. Likewise, stores are loading up on extra merchandise in preparation for the expected increase in customers.
Laurie Womer, owner of Mainstreet Flower Market, said she is planning to double her orders of "grab-and-go" flowers and roses in the hopes that fans will want to give them as gifts to their favorite players. Although she is not sure what to expect, Womer says the prospect of more consumer traffic has everyone eager to put their best foot forward.
"I'm excited to see all the different kinds of people coming through from all over," Womer said.
Local home care company To The Rescue is operating six shuttles that will take spectators from the course to the downtown area and back. Another set of shuttles will take them from downtown to a shuttle lot at Salisbury Park. The idea is to provide a means for fans to easily go out to dinner or shop without having to navigate unfamiliar roadways, said Sara Crowe, owner of Events Etc., an event planning company contracted by the town.
A restaurant and entertainment guide with coupons was designed specifically for the Solheim Cup and will point the visitors to eateries and stores throughout the town.
A slew of events scheduled during the week of the Solheim Cup will also ensure that vacationers have plenty to see and experience when they visit Parker. The Parker Chamber of Commerce is having its monthly Wine Walk on a Monday, Aug. 11, instead of the typical Friday-night time slot. Live bands will be a part of the kickoff that same night. Two "Movies in the Park" events are scheduled for Aug. 16 and 17 and the Parker Artist Guild is having its annual "Art in the Park" festival the same weekend.
The trees at O'Brien Park will be illuminated at night with red, white and blue bulbs as a show of support for the home team, which has never lost on U.S. soil.
"The hope is that when people come into town, they will say, 'Is something going on?'" Crowe said. "We want them to spend their time and money in the community and have fun while they're here."

Glasgow Warriors recorded an impressive 18-3 victory over Cardiff Blues in the RaboDirect PRO12 at the Arms Park on Saturday.
Glasgow recorded an impressive 18-3 RaboDirect PRO12 win over Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park on Saturday.
Peter Horne slotted four first half penalties as the Warriors led 12-3 at the interval, with Cardiff's response coming through Leigh Halfpenny.
The visitors then added two more three-pointers for the only scores of a disappointing second period.
Last season's play-off semi-finalists Glasgow opened the campaign with two defeats, but three successive victories has seen them get back on track.
Despite a raft of injuries, the Warriors have performed impressively over recent weeks and they managed to control the opening stages of this encounter effectively. In fact, their set-piece dominance enabled them to build pressure on the Blues' defence.
The hosts held out until the 17th minute when Horne slotted his first penalty of the half before he kicked another soon after.
Cardiff were simply struggling to get into the game and they drifted further behind through the dead-eye boot of the visiting centre.
Horne then added his fourth from the tee to take the visitors 12-0 ahead, but the Welsh side finally registered on the board through Halfpenny.
The second period continued in the same vein as the Glasgow kicker took his chances with consummate ease. Two further three-pointers extended their advantage to 15 points and, although the hosts' full-back looked to have reduced the arrears with a try, the ball was adjudged to have been knocked on, which ended the Blues' challenge.
The scorers:
For Cardiff Blues:
Pen: Halfpenny
For Glasgow:
Pen: Horne 6
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Harry Robinson, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Tom James, 10 Ceri Sweeney, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Josh Navidi, 6 Rory Watts-Jones, 5 Lou Reed, 4 James Down, 3 Benoit Bourrust, 2 Rhys Williams, 1 Campese Ma'afu.

Guess what, peasants?
Thanks in part to King George's generous tax cuts, there was an increase of 69 new billionaires and multi-billionaires in the United States last year, a new total of 341.
For those working stiffs who are still relishing the few shillings in tax relief they got from George's tax cuts, think of how grateful those billionaires and multi-billionaires must be for the millions upon millions of pounds George has saved them in taxes.
But the greater benefits of the tax cuts have not yet been fully realized. With more and more of the nation's largest corporations having paid no taxes at all last year, largely because of relocating their operations overseas, King George will now take credit for expanding America's industrial empire throughout the world. Moreover, the abundance of serfs to perform cheap labor in other countries will further strengthen the aristocracy. Ah yes, no billionaire left behind.

Maryland Congressman Visits Local Urology Practice to Discuss Challenges, Reform
On Monday, February 21, 2011, urologists at Peninsula Urology Associates in Salisbury, MD, opened their practice to U.S. Representative Andy Harris, MD (R-MD-1)@blurbend, to discuss the regulatory, reimbursement and legal challenges of practicing medicine in today's healthcare landscape including physician reimbursement and access to in-office ancillary services.
The visit was coordinated by one of the practice's urologists, Mark T. Edney, MD, FACS, who also chairs the Maryland Urologists for Patient Access and Care (MUPAC) coalition and is a member of the AUA Legislative Affairs Committee.
"It is very meaningful that Congressman Harris, a fellow physician, came to our practice and discussed the critical issues we face each day," Dr. Edney said. "We all agree that healthcare reform is necessary, but in order for it to succeed, physician challenges must be addressed."
Peninsula Urology has been serving patients on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for more than 50 years. The group is the sole provider of prostate surgery at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. Congressman Harris toured the on-site ambulatory surgery center (ASC) where most of Peninsula Urology's minor surgical procedures are performed.
"I'm happy to meet with my colleagues at Peninsula Urology to discuss healthcare reform," said Harris. "As a physician, I understand that this community-based practice is an example of how healthcare is most effectively delivered. We've got to make sure that [healthcare] stays affordable and that people have access to their physicians."
Harris' visit was part of a new effort by the AUA States & Sections Manager to encourage practices to host federal lawmakers at their practices, and to build relationships with and to educate their lawmakers about the issues that today's urologist faces. Similar visits have taken place in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, among other states.
For more information about this initiative, or to help arrange a visit to your practice, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The physicians of Peninsula Urology Associates welcomed Rep. Andy Harris, MD (R-MD), for a visit of their practice on February 28, 2011. Pictured are C. Doyle Maull, MD; Mark T. Edney, MD; Rep. Harris; Thomas M. DeMarco, MD; and Harold I. Genvert, MD.

The AUA is pleased to announce its support for newly introduced legislation designed to address urotrauma, a growing concern among active military personnel and veterans. The bill, H.R. 1612, which would direct the U.S. Secretary of Defense to establish a commission on urotrauma, was formally introduced in mid-April by Congressmen Brett Guthrie (R-KY-2), Mike Ross (D-AR-4), Peter King (R-NY-3), Mike McIntyre (D-NC-7) and Steve Stivers (R-OH-15). The AUA worked closely with lawmakers to draft the legislation.
Urotrauma is a significant issue, particularly among active military populations. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs), when detonated, can cause severe trauma to the sexual organs and genitourinary system.@blurbend Additionally, the heavy weight of armor and gear can cause strain to the abdominal muscles over time, which can ultimately impact urinary function, leading at times to pelvic prolapse.
H.R. 1612 would establish an Interagency Commission, led by the U.S. Department of Defense, to investigate and advise on the research and action needed to advance this increasingly essential field. The urotrauma legislation includes the following key provisions:
"This bill highlights the importance of urotrauma research and treatment, and specifically addresses the medical needs of our young military service personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan," said AUA Health Policy Chair Steven M. Schlossberg, MD, MBA. "Moreover, H.R. 1612 emphasizes the importance of urologic diseases and the federal government's role in helping to promote the best quality patient care to our military."
"We are thankful to Representatives Guthrie, Ross, King, McIntyre and Stivers for bringing the issue of urotrauma to the attention of federal leaders," he added.
For more information, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
In February 2011, the Health Information Technology Policy Committee (HITPC) contacted the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) recommending changes to the Meaningful Use of electronic health records (EHRs) requirements – Stages 2 and 3.@blurbend These recommendations included increasing the performance percentage for some of the Stage 1 measures, and converting some of the Stage 1 menu measures (optional) to core measures (required). Almost universally, organized medicine and providers, who are both attempting to carry out the Stage 1 measures in 2011, believe that the HITPC is moving too fast and that EHR users are not ready to move to the next stage so quickly.
Comment letters issued by the American Medical Association (AMA), the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) and the Alliance of Specialty Medicine (the Alliance) all emphasized the fact that some assessment of the provider experience in carrying out Stage 1 criteria is important before increasing or adding to the requirements for Stage 2. (Click here to view the AMA letter and here to view the Alliance letter.) Additionally, many noted that Meaningful Use measures (particularly in the quality reporting area) are not pertinent to specialty medicine and expanding these without allowing exclusions for inapplicability is inappropriate.
A survey conducted by the Certification Commission of Health Information Technology (CCHIT) reinforced these concerns. CCHIT's electronic newsletter EHR Decisions reports that the Stage 2 proposed measures were "too aggressive." Even the Government Accounting Office, recently quoted in InsideHealthPolicy.com, noted that inconsistency among the government's health information technology stimulus programs leave providers confused and uncertain about what to do.
Recent Study Published in Health Affairs Reports Total Costs of EHR A research study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), published in the March edition of Health Affairs, pegs the total first-year cost for a five-physician practice to implement an EHR system at $46,659. These costs include acquisition of hardware and software, maintenance fees, and infrastructure modifications among others.
Registrations for Meaningful Use Incentive Top 21,000 in First Month The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs registration page (link removed) on January 1, 2011, and the agency reports that 21,000 registrations were processed by the end of January. To register, each provider is required to have not only a National Provider Identifier (NPI) but also a Web account with the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES), including a personal log-in and password, and this has caused some confusion. Although many providers obtained their NPIs using the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS), they did not necessarily create a user account with a log-in and password at that time. Often, the office manager created one account to enroll the entire group of providers but that log-in and password is not linked to the individual NPIs. Therefore, many providers are now completing that step in order to enroll successfully.

We are taking advantage of the 2011 Annual Meeting's Washington, DC, location by hosting an "Afternoon on the Hill"—an opportunity for those who have registered for this specific event to advocate for urology on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Participants will meet with their Senators and staff in order to let them know what is important to urology.
Registration for this event closed on April 18, 2011. However, if you did not register and are interested in participating, stop by the UROPAC booth, located on the street level of the grand lobby (next to Starbucks) in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Staff will give you more details on the event and answer your questions.@blurbend Additionally, they will maintain a waiting list in case there are any last minute openings.
If you did register to participate, don't forget! You do not want to miss this historic AUA event.
Don't have time to participate in "Afternoon on the Hill" but still want to let Congress know you were in DC? Join us for a group photo at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, May 18, 2011, at 1:15 p.m. The photo will show the Administration and Members of Congress that urology had a strong presence in Washington, DC, and is a force with which to contend. All Annual Meeting attendees are welcomed and encouraged to be in the photo. If you are only participating in the photo, you are responsible for your own transportation to and from this event. Meet us at Garfield Circle on the west side of the Capitol at 1:15 p.m. We will be finished by 1:45 p.m. AUA staff will be there to assist you.

On Feb. 10, a vehicle traveled along the Devil's Race Track and engaged in occasional off-route travel through a 2.5 mile section of the trail. It was later determined that some of this action was prompted by a mechanical failure in the vehicle's steering system.
While off-route the vehicle damaged vegetation, including a few Juniper trees. The vehicle eventually had additional mechanical failures which left it unable to proceed to the end of the trail at I-70. It was abandoned near the "backbone," which is the most technical section of the trail.
Concerned citizens reported the incident to the Price Bureau of Land Management. BLM Law Enforcement Officer Don Lum went to the scene on Feb. 12 to conduct an investigation. During this investigation, Officer Lum was able to positively identify the person who operated the vehicle and citations will be forthcoming.
Local OHV users desired to go out and repair the areas where the off-route travel had occurred before the area could be negatively impacted any further. After first obtaining approval from the Price BLM office, the Southeastern Utah OHV Club volunteered to organize a work project to repair the damage. However, because of the weekend being a holiday weekend, President's Day, volunteers were hard to find. A plea was put out for help from the statewide OHV community including 4X4, ATV and motorcycle groups. The response was incredible.
On Feb. 17, volunteers began arriving at Belleview Flat below Ferron at 9 a.m. Each brought their own rakes and other necessary equipment to complete the trail restoration and maintenance project.
Users from all across the State of Utah expressed a desire and willingness to help. Many clubs, as well as some individuals, showed up for the project. The SEUOHV club was impressed and thankful for the many users that heeded the call for help. A partial list of clubs and organizations represented includes the following: SouthEastern Utah OHV Club (Carbon/Emery counties), King Crawlers 4X4 club (Carbon/Emery counties, Trail Patrol (Logan), Pathfinders ATV Club (Utah County), Utah Trail Machine Association, (statewide) Sage Riders Motorcycle Club (Springville), Castle Country OHV Association (Carbon/Emery counties), Utah ATV (statewide) and members of the Utah Shared Access Alliance (statewide).
Lum and Dennis Willis of the BLM, arrived to lead the group into the Devil's Race Track. Some instruction was given on trail restoration methods. Willis said, "I want to thank everyone for volunteering today to work on our public lands. We are here for a rehabilitation project and that calls for a minimum tool concept. That is to use the least tool to accomplish the rehab. If an area just needs to be scuffed with your shoe to remove the track, use your shoe. Have no more impact than the original insult. Begin all work from the far end of the disturbed area and work back to the trail. There is no need to dig deep for repairs, use the back side of a rake if necessary. If there are any broken brush in the area, use those to sweep away the marks."
Lum asked the assembled group to pick up any litter they may see along the way. Several of the riders had extra garbage bags and those were handed around to accommodate this task.
Several of these aforementioned groups have previously entered into Volunteer Agreements with the BLM for maintenance of the roads and trails in the area. The VAs have been in place for years and hundreds of volunteer hours have been invested into maintenance of the roads and trails in the San Rafael Swell.
It is estimated that 55 volunteer users showed up for the project. The response was so great that it was decided to have some of the users do routine trail maintenance on other trails within the Sid's Mountain Trail System. In addition to those who had traveled great distances for the purpose of helping, there were also riders that just happened upon the project and still voluntarily joined in the work.
There were many hands to perform the maintenance resulting in overwhelming the BLM staff that was on had to supervise the project. Actually this was a good problem to have. Perhaps some of the users felt frustrated that they could not do more; but it was the consensus of all that the amount of work each person was able to do was not as important as simply being there. The statement made by each and every person there, was that the OHV community is concerned about the environment and are willing to donate time, energy and resources to help the BLM maintain this valuable motorized trail system.
Overall this was a positive work experience in many fashions. It was an opportunity for many user groups to come together for a single purpose and goal. The motorcycle, ATV and 4x4 groups worked side by side to preserve the integrity of the trail and to protect the resource. Many relationships were established, both among the different user groups, as well as with the BLM.
In addition, this project provided the BLM an opportunity to network with the users and see what a valuable resource the OHV community can be to them. The spirit of cooperation shown by the OHV community was very impressive. These individuals, clubs, organizations and groups are willing to give of their time, money and energy to work with the land managers to ensure that the next generation can continue to enjoy motorized use of these same roads and trails on our public land.

Everybody keeps secrets. But what happens when someone discovers those secrets, and it fundamentally changes the way they think?
That's what happens to Cass in David Lindsey Abaire's "Wonder of the World," the latest production at Miners Alley Playhouse.
The show will be playing at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, through Sept. 1. Performances will be Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m.
"This playwright has a knack for taking serious topics and brings them down into a form where they're not so serious," said director Robert Kramer. "In this play we take a look at whether or not things are fated to happen or if we make our own destiny, but it's really a crazy, silly play."
The story revolves around Cass (Haley Johnson) who discovers a hidden secret in her husband, Kip's (Matthew Blood-Smyth) sweater drawer — a secret that sends her running to Niagra Falls, the scene of a tragic car accident that forever changed her family's life.
"She gets on a bus to head back to the falls to see what might have happened if the accident hadn't occurred," Kramer said. "Along the way she makes a friend (Lois), and it turns into a dark kind of 'Thelma and Louise.'"
In addition to meeting Lois, a suicidal alcoholic, she also encounters a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives and a mystery involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter.
In addition to calling the sets being spectacular, Kramer said that the cast for the show is wonderful.
"It really is a dark absurdist comedy, while being a self-discovery tale also," Johnson said. "Once my character meets Lois, it really turns into a bit of a buddy play as well."
Johnson said that all the characters have their own quirks, and that's what makes the show such a riot to watch.
Blood-Smyth said that he wasn't really familiar with the play when he auditioned, but that the cast and crew quickly came around to embracing its humor and wit.
"The first read-through took us about three-and-a-half hours because we were laughing so hard," he said. "It's really over the top, but a lot of fun."
Blood-Smyth describes Kit as a character with a "Ned Flanders kind of innocence," and the tensions between his innocence and the secret Cass discovers about him makes for a lot of fun to play.
While everyone involved with the play readily admits that it's a comedy, there is a lot more going on than just trying to get laughs.
"Because at times it's so silly, viewers may not realize how deep the questions go," Kramer said. "It takes concepts that we think of every day, and allows us to ask questions and explore topics in a way we ordinarily wouldn't."
For Blood-Smyth, the show is a lot of fun, and a great thing to explore along with the actors.
"Tragedies and comedies are the same thing — they just have different endings," he said. "It's important that you listen to the characters and they'll tell you what they want, just like real people do."
Johnson said that people should come to the show expecting a good time, and going in with an open mind will only add to the enjoyment.
"It's a wild ride and a great show for summer," she said.

Turmoil in the market for gold has caused the most popular exchange-traded fund for the metal to drop a notch on the list of the biggest ETFs by assets.
The $50 billion SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)
this week last month dropped to the third-biggest ETF on the market. It's behind the $130 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), the number one, and now also the $58 billion Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets (VWO), the number two. The gold trust had occupied the second spot for a number of years and even briefly became the biggest ETF on the market around the time of gold's price peak, in August 2011.
The shift, first noticed by Index Universe's Cinthia Murphy, comes about despite withdrawals from the emerging-markets ETF, whose price is also down slightly during 2013. As Murphy notes, the fund "faced sizable outflows in April, bleeding more than $1.55 billion." … But nothing close to the 12% price drop and nearly $14 billion in investor outflows from the SPDR gold fund.

There is no one more deserving of the Emery School District Teacher of the Year Award than Emery High School's Dean Nelson. Nelson teaches French and English at Emery High School and is just completing his 33rd year of teaching. Thirty-one of those years in the Emery County School District.
"Coach Dean" as he is lovingly referred to, is a kind and humble person. His principal, Larry Davis says, "Honestly, I can't remember him ever saying anything negative about another person. The only time I've ever seen him upset was when he was frustrated at himself for some frivolous oversight. His humility is refreshing in this era of self-aggrandizement."
More than anything else, however, Coach Dean is a superstar teacher who cares about his students, their education, and Emery High School. You always know that, with Coach Dean as a teacher, the students always get 100 percent. His students and colleagues respect him and acknowledge long after they have left Emery High how much he has meant to them.
It is inspiring to see him work with troubled kids, and how his soft-spoken approach can soften the most obstinate challenge.
In addition, he is one of the most respected coaches in the state and has inspired many a young student/athlete to compete with dignity and respect for the opponent. Even after his coaching days came to an end, he continues to support and inspire our teams and athletes.
Despite some health issues coming into this school year, Coach Dean has been willing to take on the new challenge of teaching honors English classes. He has recognized his limitations with this assignment and has worked hard to learn the curriculum and find unique ways to inspire his students so that they may have a quality education.
He is a team player, always willing to do what he can for kids.
"It is a pleasure for the Emery County School District Administration and Board of Education to honor this extraordinary gentleman teacher. His service to our school district and to the thousands of students he has touched is nothing short of outstanding," said Laurel Johansen, board president.
Nelson said, "I feel fortunate to have been born and raised in Emery County. Education has always been important in my family as my father taught 35 years in the local school system. having several close relatives, who along with my father and several very special teachers in elementary, junior high and high school had a significant influence on my becoming a teacher.
"I attended Ferron Elementary, South Emery Junior High, Emery High, Snow College and Brigham Young University where I earned a B.S. degree in sociology. In spite of the wonderful education I received in our local schools, my most significant educational experience happened at Snow College when I met my wife, LaRita. She is a resource teacher at Ferron Elementary and definitely the best educational choice I have ever made.
"I have taught French, language arts, sociology, and athletics. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have associated with excellent teachers, many of whom have served as mentors, outstanding secretaries, administrators, support staff, and cream of the crop students. I was once elected to be the president of the Girl Hater's Club in fifth grade at Ferron Elementary.
"My hobbies and interests include following BYU athletics, the outdoors, and especially being with family. My students will tell you two things I definitely don't do is sing and dance.
"LaRita and I have been married 38 years and that has brought us much happiness, along with five children, 15 grandchildren with two more on the way. I have many special associations with fellow educators, students, parents, and friends in the community at large," said Coach Dean

Skip to comments.Navy Sailors Bonded with 3 Stowaway Kittens
Posted on 12/30/2012 12:13:31 PM PST by Slings and Arrows
It all began when Eric Hanst and his fellow sailors were Navy deployed overseas. When they were in port for a few days, they were greeted by an unexpected guest. A cat came aboard via mooring line. We lost track of her, and found her later that evening. We managed to get her back to the pier, and waved goodbye as we took off. This cat seemed unusually upset by this, said Hanst.
What they did not know was that the cat didnt just come alone. It turns out, when she managed to sneak on board, she also managed to smuggle on three kittens. We thought she had given birth on the ship, but it was pointed out to us that they were too big to be only a few days old.
When they were sailing off, no one on board was aware of the kittens. The little ones were very confused, looking for their mom for almost four days until they were discovered in the machine shop. We found one initially and the other two a couple hours afterwards, Hanst added.
Even though the crew had little experience bottle feeding a kitten, they all jumped into action, doing everything they could to help these little creatures. They did not have a bottle, so they improvised. They found boxes and necessary things to make a temporary nest for the kittens. They were all so proud, holding their new furry buddies and letting them climb all over them. When it comes to bottle feeding the kittens, these sailors showed remarkable love and care to the tiny little creatures that were about the size of their palm. They were gentle to the kittens and tended to their every whim.
After the initial shock of being found, and feeding, the kittens were just as happy and playful as any other cute little bugger youd find anywhere else. They were a great boost to crew morale, and I LOVED THEM, said Hanst.
After they docked, the kittens were transported to local veterinary services. We managed to find homes for all three kittens. I talked a friend into adopting one of the kittens, the other two were taken in by my a cat couple who are regular rescuers.
The soldiers rescued the kittens and the kittens gave them the companionship and love they needed during these long voyages. They both needed one another and it was a blessing that they found each other.
Yes, it's an older story. Still deserved to be posted.
Navy can do.
I'm only seeing/counting 2 kittens...
Old or new, it's a beautiful story. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure.
Totally agree; it's a wonderful story, and those pics are priceless. It hurts my heart to think of how distressed Mama cat must have been for a while, though. But I'm just glad the kittens found such excellent caretakers.
It is a beautiful story, but I can't help feeling sad for momma cat missing her babies. I'm glad it had a happy ending. The kittens look so cute and made the sailors so happy!
Sorry for the mama cat but glad for those kittehs. Very sweet.
This is what makes this one so poignant.
Did you check out the next story about the kitty with only two legs? Amazing..........
Its a shame about Mama, true, but I'm also glad that her babies found such wonderful hoomins.
Great story; beautiful dogs.
Me too.
Me too. THAT's funny!
"I dunno sir, i guess they must have climbed up the mooring lines."
Sailors smuggling things aboard ship is a long grand tradition.
Gotta respect tradition. ;^)
When you asked me that, I had to go look. All I can say is, incredible. It hurts your heart at first, but then you realize the cat isn't unhappy and moping....he's enjoying life!
This reminds of a Titanic story that was posted here last April about the animals on board the ship.
Before the Titanic set sail, sailors watched as a mama cat took her kittens off of the ship one by one right before Titanic set sail, returning on board to carry each kitty down a ramps.
Everyone watching this thought it was so cute — except the sailors who said this was a VERY bad omen...I think If I'd seen that, I would have disembarked too. Animals have a strange sense of foreboding sometimes...
"Sailors smuggling things aboard ship is a long grand tradition."
Yeah, we did smuggle things onto the ship, but not...cats.
It's really nice that all the kittehs got placed in good homes.
I'm guessing the third kitten was camera shy? Or were there two identical tabbies?
Oh well, they're too cute for it to matter... [smiles]
*Anchor here for a minute Captain....we have to go to the beach and get a couple of shovels of sand for the litter box....we'll BRB. Thanks, Sir!*
Not sure it happened exactly that way... ;^)
Nice story. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure.
Smart kittehs, you betcha.
SO NICE to see....kitties brighten hearts...
That they do.

Nancy Judd – Recycle Runway
About Nancy Judd:
Nancy Judd creates couture fashion sculptures from trash through her business Recycle Runway. Imagine a faux fur coat made with endless loops of cassette tape; a glamorous floor-length evening gown glittering with thousands of pieces of crushed glass, or a flamenco inspired dress made of origami junk mail fans sewn together like fish scales.
Ms. Judd's elegant eco-fashions are exhibited in international high-traffic venues such as airports, museums, and shopping centers– unexpectedly grabbing people's attention and inspiring them to look at trash with new eyes. Most recently 21 of her sculptures were on exhibit for a year in the Atlanta International Airport through June 2012. This exhibition will begin a 5 year tour of museums around the United States in 2013. One of her pieces, the Obamanos Coat, is part of the Smithsonian's permanent collection.
Many of Ms. Judd's works are sponsored by organizations including Delta Air Lines, Toyota, Target and Coca-Cola. Some of her eco-fashions are created in public workshops, such as Eco Flamenco which was completed during a 19 day event with the participation of 5,000 people. The garment on the left took 650 hours to complete.
Environmental Education is at the heart of Ms. Judd's work– her goal is to inspire people in a positive, fun and creative context to live lighter on the earth. She has given hundreds of presentations around the country to both youth and adults. Most recently she presented at TEDx in Albuquerque, NM.
Ms. Judd is an artist and environmental educator. She has been working in the field of recycling and waste management for over 20 years. In 1995 she moved to Santa Fe, NM to become the Recycling Coordinator for the City of Santa Fe. In 2000, she started her recycling consulting business and served as Executive Director for the New Mexico Recycling Coalition. Ms. Judd's recycling career and studio art experience came together when she created her first recycled fashion to promote a public education event she co-founded in 1998. The Recycle Santa Fe Art Market and Fashion Contest is still one of Santa Fe's popular art events!
Ms. Judd grew up in Portland Oregon and received her BA from Pitzer College (Claremont, California) in Art and Sociology. She spent time at the Laguna Beach Art Institute and in theUniversity of Georgia's art program in Cortona, Italy. A self-taught seamstress, Ms. Judd has been sewing, designing clothing and jewelry, and making art for as long as she can remember!
Nancy will be doing a presentation about her own work as a Maker well as creating our own Recycle Fashion Fantasy area where attendees can work with Nancy and her team to take a item or two and create a brand 'new to them' outfit. And the attendees can learn how to update their own closet by using what they learn at our Maker Faire.

Our beloved dad, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandfather, and brother went home to his heavenly parents on Jan. 7, 2013, at the age of 89. Ronald died from natural causes.
Ronald was born in Sunnyside, Utah Oct. 10, 1923 to Clinton J. and Roseltha Pearce Broderick. He married Lorna Beth Jones on Sept. 27, 1942. They were later sealed in the Manti temple on March 21, 1946 after dad returned home from World War II. They shared their lives together for 69 years until moms passing on Nov. 23, 2011.
Dad loved mom and his children very much. He made many personal sacrifices on their behalf. Many times they went on camping, fishing, hunting and vacation trips. Dad and mom were active members of the LDS church. They served a church mission together for 4 1/2 years, traveling all over the continental US, doing microfilming for the Church History Department. Dad had many talents. He was a "Jack of all Trades". He loved to create his own inventions rather then just run down to the store to buy something he needed. Over the years, dad wrote many poems, song lyrics, etc.
Ronald is survived by his children: LeRoy (Sharilyn) Broderick, JeNan Page, Danny (Vicki) Broderick, Kevin (Laurie) Broderick, KaeLeen (John) Garrick, Patricia (Brad) Coburn; Sister: Maurine Johnson, 28 grand children, 48 great grand children, and five great great grand children.
The family would like to express our special thanks for the loving care dad received from those at Alpha Hospice, Abundant Life Hospice, his son LeRoy and his granddaughters Kristy Sandgren and Mindy Godnick, and so many others.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013 at 1 p.m. at the West Bountiful Sixth Ward Chapel, 1750 North 900 West, West Bountiful,Utah. There was a viewing on Friday, Jan. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 295 North Main, Bountiful, Utah; and prior to the services at the church on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Ronald at www.russonmortuary.com.
