It was massive, one of the first great cities of the Western Hemisphere. And its origins are a mystery.
It was built by hand more than a thousand years before the swooping arrival of the Nahuatl-speaking Aztec in central Mexico. But it was the Aztec, descending on the abandoned site, no doubt falling awestruck by what they saw, who gave it a name: Teotihuacan.
A famed archaeological site located fewer than 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Mexico City, Teotihuacan reached its zenith between 100 B.C. and A.D. 650. It covered 8 square miles (21 square kilometers) and supported a population of a hundred thousand, according to George Cowgill, an archaeologist at Arizona State University and a National Geographic Society grantee.
"It was the largest city anywhere in the Western Hemisphere before the 1400s," Cowgill says. "It had thousands of residential compounds and scores of pyramid-temples and was comparable to the largest pyramids of Egypt."
Oddly, Teotihuacan, which contains a massive central road (the Street of the Dead) and buildings including the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon, has no military structures—though experts say the military and cultural wake of Teotihuacan was heavily felt throughout the region.
Who Built It?
Cowgill says the site's visible surface remains have all been mapped in detail. But only five percent has been scientifically excavated.
Scholars once pointed to the Toltec culture. Others note that the Toltec peaked far later than Teotihuacan's zenith, undermining that theory. Some scholars say the Totonac culture was responsible.
No matter its principal builders, evidence shows that Teotihuacan hosted a patchwork of cultures including the Maya, Mixtec, and Zapotec. One theory says an erupting volcano forced a wave of immigrants into the Teotihuacan valley and that those refugees either built or bolstered the city.
The main excavations, performed by Professors Saburo Sugiyama of Aichi Prefectural University in Japan and Rubén Cabrera, a Mexican archaeologist, have been at the Pyramid of the Moon. It was there, beneath layers of dirt and stone, that researchers realized the awe-inspiring craftsmanship of Teotihuacan's architects was matched by a cultural penchant for brutality and human and animal sacrifice. Inside the temple, researchers found buried animals and bodies, with heads that had been lobbed off, all thought to be offerings to gods or sanctification for successive layers of the pyramid as it was built.
It's unclear why Teotihuacan collapsed; one theory is that poorer classes carried out an internal uprising against the elite.
For Cowgill, who says more studies are needed to understand the lives of the poorer classes that inhabited Teotihuacan, the mystery lies not as much in who built the city or in why it fell.
"Rather than asking why Teotihuacan collapsed, it is more interesting to ask why it lasted so long," he says. "What were the social, political, and religious practices that provided such stability?"

*sigh* shut out... again
Ryan Lambert
March 27 2009 01:50PM
If that Flames fan had threatened to "bomb" and "shoot" me, I'd have taken him up on it.
I don't even know what to say after that. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick that was unwatchable.
The Good
Hahahahaha like anything would go here.
The Bad
Moving right along then
The Ugly
The offense — The Flames haven't scored on an actual goalie in 134:29. Mhmm.
The defense — This is a good part of the season to start giving up five goals. Yes it is.
The goaltending — Another bang-up job outta Miikka Kiprusoff. Three goals on 17 shots. Sick. Curtis McElhinney fared slightly better, giving up two on 19. Team save percentage last night: .861. Perfect.
Special teams — ST net for last night was 3 for 12. Three for twelve. The boys went 0 for 7 on the power play and 3 for 5 on the penalty kill. That's remarkable.
Discipline — It's good to take 60 penalty minutes in a game. It's better when like 37 of those are in the span of 12 minutes or so.
Faceoffs — Winning 42 percent against Pittsburgh was bad. Winning 35 percent against Columbus is much, much worse.
Dion Phaneuf — How long before Keenan just benches this kid? He's dreadful.
Olli Jokinen and Jarome Iginla — Didn't do dick last night. They set a tone, but it was the one from South Park that makes everyone crap their pants simultaneously.
Pressure — Oh yeah, they put 33 shots on Steve Mason, but if at any point you felt like one was going to go in, you are an insane maniac.
Coaching — Mike Keenan's got to start throwing things in the locker room and scare the piss out of these guys, because whatever's currently going on isn't cutting the mustard. This is an inexcusable run of poor play with less than 10 games to go before the playoffs. And as it stands right now, Calgary would draw, you guessed it, Columbus. That'd go well.
This season — Barring a miracle, it's cooked like dinner.
I love the links you always include in your articles. I have told all my friends about this site - but they are too scared to comment! LOL
Look at me! I'm not scared
go flames.
they caught that guy with call display..... can you freaking imagine being 50+ years old and that freaking stupid.... oh man.
the ugly has some very good points, but there is not a snowballs chance in hell that Keenan benches Dion.... not with big brother D hawking down from the rafters. It would send one amazing message and frankly, why not.. pardy is after all a d guy not a winger (clearly) so the spare body is sitting right there.
Have a meeting.
I read this site daily. I just haven't had the guts to post comments but I guess I should seeing as people are being called out above.
I really like TLP's humour and I have been reading Kent at FHF for a long time. This site needs a couple additional writers and it is away to the races! :O)
On that note, I'd like to say that more comments is better than less. Even though TLP and I are kind of jerks, we both welcome comments/complaints/questions/criticisms.
So, for any regulars out there, feel free to chime in.
You should add a section to the bottom of these threads called "The Totally Crap" and move the entire article into there. Oy gevalt!! At least I got a shutout for Masons efforts in my pool.
And maybe a section called the "Uh-Oh". In that section you could write how the Flames have 3 back to backs to close the season....with the second game of two of those coming on the road. Worse yet, one of those is in Vancouver. Anyone else see 2nd in the NW looming ever more presently in the mirror?
And it really sucks that the Canucks get to play the dregs of the league for the entire months of March and April. Maybe we should get that guy who made the phone calls to give the schedule maker a ring.
March 27 2009, 05:08PM
Seems like the kind of feel about the team that there was after that Fall debacle in San Jose.
Kent wrote:

They are both kind of jerks. I can totally vouch for this. One time TLP pretended to fall when we were walking in the street. I stopped to help him up and Kent totally stole my wallet.

Except the joke was on us since all you had in your wallet was an old condom and a picture of John Stamos.
And they were stuck together.
@ Kent: @ TLP:
Maybe they were stuck together but the thing you er, uh need to um, remember is -
*delivers karate chop to both TLP and Kent's thoraxes, runs away at top speed*
thoraxes? what are we? ants?

Naples Flights
Founded with the name of Parthenope, after a mythical siren, Naples rises from the waters of the gulf of the same name, cradled by Vesuvius. The Castel dell'Ovo stands out against a background that seems frozen in time in postcards the world over. From here you can enjoy a romantic panorama and the enticing smell of the sea. Meanwhile, not far from the port, you can visit the Castel Nuovo, better known as the Maschio Angioino, the theatrical Piazza del Plebiscito, the monumental Galleria Umberto I and the stately Teatro San Carlo, next to the Palazzo Reale.
A stone's throw from these streets is old Neapolis, the historic center and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, which contains some of the oldest churches in Italy and where some works of art are waiting to be discovered in its ancient streets, like the impressive Veiled Christin the San Severo Chapel Museum or the Treasure of San Gennaro in the imposing cathedral. Following the Spaccanapoli, which splits the city neatly in two, you will reach the Piazza del Gesù, famous for the symbolic walls of the Gesù Nuovo Church, on which are carved the musical notes of a mysterious Biblical melody, and for the wonderful majolica cloister of the Santa Chiara Monastery. Go along the crowded Via San Biagio dei Librai and take a minute to take a photo of the unusual little altar dedicated to the legendary Maradona. Then head into Via San Gregorio Armeno, the street of the Neapolitan master crib makers. It is the perfect mix of sacred and profane.
Napl state of mind
It is not by chance that John Turturro called his documentary on Naples and its music Passione: this is certainly something that the Neapolitan people know a lot about! It is impossible to wander through the narrow streets of the historic city center without hearing a lady singing from her balcony while she hangs out her washing in the sun, small boys shouting out the Italian football team's anthem while they play football in the street, or the street traders or shopkeepers offering their customers products of every kind to the sound of music. You will also notice that true love on the face of lovers, embracing or kissing on the seafront as if the blue of their sea could never fade. And, while on the subject of music, if you see the words "Napl state of mind" as you travel around, you should know that this refers to the revival of young artists: from the young Rocco Hunt from Salerno to the Neapolitan Clementino. In recent times the Campania hip hop and rap have demonstrated young people's desire to re-emerge from the ruins of Pompeii.
Gold in the kitchen
If you don't have much time to spend in Naples, your food and wine tour must start in one of the cafeterias near Piazza del Plebiscito: a cup of boiling black coffee, "quickly", as an old tradition has it, is the best way to savor the aromas of this city. And a sfogliatella pastry, still warm, in the "riccia" or "frolla" variety, proves that the local pastry enriches mind and stomach! Following the scent of newly baked bread, sea food caught at dawn, ragù boiling in the pan for whole nights in the houses of the most skillful ladies, you can remain in the Mergellina area or go to Via dei Tribunali where the best, lightest and most patriotic pizza in the world awaits you: the red of the tomatoes that grow on the slopes of Vesuvius, the bright green of fresh basil and the milky white of mozzarella DOP are the ingredients of a dish you will no longer be able to live without.
However, if you manage to get away, don't miss the delicious "costine del maialino nero" at Caserta, a glass of wine in the Avellino countryside, a "panuozzo" filled with meat and cheese at Gragnono, a slice of Caprese cake on the island of the Faraglioni (stacks), a glass of good homemade limoncello or a plate of gnocchi at Sorrento, or a sublime dessert on the Amalfi coast.
What are you waiting for? Pack your bags and leave now!

HELPER- Dallas N. (Dub) Crandall, age 93, passed away Sept. 12, 2011 in Price. He was born Jan. 1, 1918 in Bingham, Utah to Nelson and Rose Allred Crandall.
Married Rose Zele, Jan. 25, 1941 in Helper. She preceded him in death on Feb. 3, 2005.
Dallas was the ever great outoorsman. He loved walking along the railroad tracks in Helper and riding his ATVs with his grandchildren in tow. He had a passion for tying flies, fishing and camping. Dallas always had something up his sleeve. He was constantly creating new, useful inventions around the house and working with his hands. He could be mischievous with too much free time, but always had a good sense of humor.
Dallas worked at many different jobs over the years, usually three jobs at a time to support his family. In 1980, he retired from D&RGW Railroad as switchman. He'll most be remembered as a school bus driver and driving the kids around was the highlight of his day.
Dallas was a member of the Catholic Church and a loyal Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus. He was also a member of S.N.P.J. Lodge #113 for 70 years.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This stuff flat out works! Good luck getting the stink off anything it touches, but hey that's the point. Mix a little (or a lot) into bag of worms and just let it sit in its stank, great stuff. 3X Bass Hammer stays true to its name.
From: Zac: San Diego, CA 9/12/15
Comments: I didn't find the 3x version to be any more potent than the regular formula. Bass Hammer is still my favorite. The sticky liquid is the best way to go. just take the top off and dip your worm in.
From: MaxZmus: San Diego, CA
Comments: I don't complain often but has anyone received their jar and was 3/4 full with a big space on bottom? Maybe its bottled like a bag of chips that way? I tested it and would have to say its more effective than other scents on the market. It will not draw every bass in lake to your bait but have gotten better holds. Like others say, it's potent and will at the very least take any human scent away
From: bass-o-matic: New York
Comments: put this even on your drop shot and other bottom cralling baits and it will give you major results. i like bass hammer and crawfish. I fish pressured lakes everyday so im not speaking out off my ass.
From: Ryan: San Diego
Comments: I'm an attractant fanatic and I can't say it will make fish bite like MegaStrike, but it will definitely cover ANY human odor. I think you could probably pour Tink's 69 on your hands before you go fishing and cover it up with this stuff.
From: FunkySkunky
Comments: Wow! i was skeptical but now a believer. 3 cast after put on a texas rig worm, i landed a nice bass. this really works.
From: San Diego
Comments: This stuff is AMAZING! It smells horrible but fish love it. I highly recommend it.

Benitez backs methods
Rafael Benitez is confident he would be allowed to manage Chelsea his way after meeting Roman Abramovich for the first time.
- Related Content
Abramovich has a reputation for being the most ruthless owner in football but Benitez described him as "a nice person", having spent "two or three hours" dining with the Russian following his unveiling on Thursday night.
Working for Abramovich has been described by some as an impossible job due to his demands for both winning and attractive football as well as rumoured interference in both transfers and team selection.
But Benitez - who many believe is simply keeping the Chelsea bench warm for Pep Guardiola - felt what the Russian really wanted was a manager with "a clear idea".
"Twenty-six years in charge and I can guarantee I've had a lot of different owners, presidents and chairmen," Benitez said.
"If you have confidence in yourself and explain yourself, everyone can understand.
"My impression of him [Abramovich] is he's a nice person. You can talk with him.
"He likes to see you have a clear idea: 'I think it's white because of this or that', or, 'This is black because of this or that'."
He added: "The priority of the owner is whether I'm a good manager, a good coach, if the players understand me, if we'll be a winning team.
"He was very clear with that. He's happy with the things I've said."
Benitez revealed Abramovich wanted to know "everything" about his new interim manager's ideas for Chelsea, who he claimed were just the kind of club he had "been waiting for" during his near two-year absence from the game.
"I've been working, writing books, websites, analysing games, but I like to be on the pitch," Benitez said, revealing he had been keeping a close eye on Chelsea from afar.
"When I was at home, I watched a lot of games every weekend.
"I take notes, write down the systems, make notes on the players. I have a folder with reports, a database on players.
"I have folders on almost every team I can watch on telly."
Benitez also confirmed he believes Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole will leave Chelsea in the summer.
The Spaniard does not expect to have a big influence on comings and goings after the season, but believes stories linking the pair with a move away from the club are not far wide of the mark.
Asked if he thought Lampard and Cole would be moving on at the end of the season, he said: "I think so. I don't have all the information and it's not fair to tell me I'm only here for seven months and then expect me to have an influence at the club over the next two or three years, but I think that's the case at the moment."

"My only complaint is that its a little wide ... if you have narrow feet it may not be perfect. I love the color, I love the style, an I have gotten many, many compliments. The brown accents neutralize it so it can go with more of my wardrobe. I wish it was available in a nine in the yellow, I'd buy that too!!"

Great. Fall color
"I love these. Luckily I read the other reviews before I ordered. They do run very large. I ordered one full size smaller than usual and they fit perfectly. The will go with so many of the fall clothes."

Runs huge!
"So, these are pretty cute and I've gotten tons of compliments on them. (I ordered the coral, and there's just something about this color that's really striking!)However, they do run huge! I normally wear a 9, but after reading all the reviews, I ordered an 8.5 and my feet are still swimming in them. It's not too bad, so I kept them, but I would definitely recommend ordering a full size smaller than you usually wear.And, I don't know if it's because they're a bit large on me, or if it's just the material (vinyl-ish), but they still give me horrible blisters on the backs of my feet when I wear them, even after several wears. By the end of the day, I'm basically limping. I think this problem would probably go away if the shoe fit more snugly on my foot, but maybe not."

Years ago, college tennis was viewed by many as a consolation prize for players who weren't quite talented enough to make it in pro tennis. But with the top three American men in the world rankings – John Isner, Bradley Klahn and Steve Johnson – all making noise on the ATP World Tour after four years on campus, college tennis is now being seen as a place for players to mature both on and off the court, refining their games while preparing mentally for the future demands of life on tour.
World No. 9 John Isner has made no secret of his Bulldog pride. The University of Georgia graduate won the NCAA doubles title in 2007 and also reached the singles final that year before turning pro. He's since won eight ATP titles and cleared well over $6 million in prize money, something which he says wouldn't have been possible without his time in the college town of Athens.
"Without college I wouldn't be here today," Isner said during the 2012 US Open. "I can say that with 100 percent certainty. I wasn't nearly good enough to go pro after high school. I didn't even have pro aspirations. I got so much better at Georgia. Once I did get so much better, I realized that I could maybe play professional tennis."
Isner's success has since spurred on the next generation of NCAA stars. After winning the NCAA men's singles championship in 2010, Bradley Klahn stayed at Stanford for two more years before graduating in 2012. In the last 12 months, Klahn has won four singles titles on the ITF and USTA Pro Circuits, while also reaching the finals at three other events. Those results have propelled him from No. 178 in the ATP rankings last July to his current spot at No. 65.
While some – maybe most – players might have turned pro immediately after winning the NCAA title, Klahn said it was important for him to stick around Stanford because his parents always emphasized education. And Like many young Americans, Klahn said he was inspired by Isner translating his dominant college results into similar success at the pro level.
"I think that his success has been great for college tennis because it shows that you can go to school for four years and still go on to be successful at the professional level," said Klahn. "There are a lot of benefits from going to college and it allows you to continue working on your game while getting an education."
Like Klahn, Johnson returned to USC for his senior year after winning the NCAA men's singles championship in 2011. Although some people questioned his decision to delay his pro tennis career for 12 months, he has credited the extra time with the Trojans as being instrumental to his game, a sentiment that head coach Peter Smith also agreed with.
"The grand lesson from all this is how Steve Johnson proved that you can stay in college and be successful and grow," Smith told ITATennis.com of his two-time NCAA champion, who ended his career on a 72-match collegiate winning streak. "My biggest fear was that Steve would come back and not improve, but he was such a better tennis player a year later – and it wasn't even close."
Just 18 months after turning pro, Johnson is setting himself up to be a player to watch at this year's US Open. The 24-year-old started his 2014 season by reaching the quarterfinals at the ATP event in Auckland, New Zealand, then followed that up a month later by defeating then-world No. 12 Tommy Haas on his way reaching the semifinals at the ATP event in Delray Beach , Fla. He also won the $100,000 USTA Pro Circuit event this February in Dallas, and reached the final of another $125,000 event last month in Irving, Texas.
Last week, Johnson won his second title of the year by capturing a $100,000 title in Guadeloupe. Having started the year ranked No. 156, he is now at a career-high ranking of No. 69 after just three months.
"The first year is easy. You've got nothing to defend, no points coming off the board. It's easy to play tennis that way, knowing you can never really go the wrong way," Johnson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "Coming out of college, I wasn't used to losing and I had to learn how to deal with it. I took them hard, for the whole year. Now I'm looking at it a little differently and looking to improve."
The growing trend of top college players finishing their education can also be attributed to most ATP players experiencing success later in their careers. The days of teenagers winning Grand Slam titles are a thing of the past. The average age of players currently in the Top 10 is 28. Only one player in the Top 100, No. 81 Dominic Thiem of Austria, is under the age of 21.
"It's not how it used to be in the 80s and 90s where you would have 19-year-olds, 20-year-olds inside the Top 10 in the world," said Isner. "In my opinion, it takes longer for guys to develop. I feel like a lot of top Americans are now going the college route."

What's on the horizon for economic development in Emery County? Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director gave an update to the economic development council on Feb. 7 on projects to keep an eye on in the near future.
McCandless said, "We are still looking at a medical manufacturing business with the potential to employ 50-100 people. We have been looking at sites in Huntington and Castle Dale.
"A coal gasification plant is looking at a site in Carbon and Emery counties. This is big, maybe a $2 billion facility. It is still in the discussion phase. Plans for a bowling alley and skating rink in Castle Dale are finalizing financial and construction issues.
"The Rilda Canyon project permit has been granted and they are waiting for overall mine permit renewal and data from test wells which will be done in mid-February.
"We are working on a couple of bio-diesel projects, one for location in Castle Country and the other to be located in the four corners region. We are also looking for agricultural products and distribution partners. We need growers who would commit to growing the crops used in the bio-diesel process; sunflowers, soybeans, etc. We are planning some test plantings this summer in Emery County to see how these crops perform in the county.
"An ethanol manufacturing plant is in the early discussion. XTO Energy has been approved for the addition of five compressor stations which is a several million dollar project and construction has begun on that.
"Three companies are developing plans to drill test wells for gas along the Skyline Drive, Cottonwood Canyon and Gentry Mountain. If this goes through much needed repairs could be made along the Skyline Drive.
"CEU and the Applied Technology Center has received a $2.7 million grant to develop the energy training center in the old Willow Creek facility. They are currently working with the legislature to secure matching funds for this grant.
"The Huntington/Cleveland irrigation company has put out for bid the first phase on the irrigation project. We are currently working with three restaurateurs interested in the county. EAO Services in Lawrence has purchased addition equipment and are filling orders. This is a computerized machining business.
"We are currently working with an aeronautical products company for consideration of locating in the county. Also we are working with a local software company and currently in Beta tests in three locations. Five wireless companies are looking at significant upgrades in certain parts of the county," said McCandless.
In other areas concerning infrastructure, regulatory and planning and zoning, the following efforts are being made. McCandless is working with the governors office of economic development as well as utility companies on identifying and developing solutions to rural infrastructure issues.
As part of the utility effort it is hoped that the surcharge on natural gas bills for Cleveland and Elmo will be eliminated.
Green River has been selected as a Beta site for the Certified Sites program.
The planning and zoning is working with several cities on revisions to current planning and zoning activities. Huntington and Green River have recently completed Enterprise Zones updates.
Work with the bureau of land management continues on the resource management plan with McCandless and others contributing to the socioeconomic data needed.
The tourism subgroups have been meeting and developing new plans for events and related promotional activities. Green River, Emery County and GREAT are partnering with Utah Travel to leverage $46,000 for out of state tourism efforts.
Three national journalist groups will be traveling through the county on a writing tour and hopefully stories will appear in national newspapers and magazines.
Also a good economic indicator is unemployment at 5 percent with retail sales up 18 percent and construction permits are up significantly in the county.

Yesterday, Facebook and MTV turned purple in honor of Spirit Day to support LGBT youth and speak out against bullying. But what about celebrities? You had plenty of stars who tweeted about wearing purple and even posted some Twitpics, but the most impressive display of solidarity was from the cast of TeenNick's Degrassi: The Next Generation.
GLAAD tracked down all of the actors, who posted photos to their official Twitters of them rocking purple outfits. That attitude extended to the set: There are a couple shots of cast members in front of set pieces like The Dot, the local hangout—which was also turned purple, aww.
Check out Luke Bilyk, Aislinn Paul, and other cast members showing their support!

A Transatlantic Bargain for the 21st Century: The United States, Europe, and the Transatlantic Alliance
September 30, 2013
Authored by Dr. Ellen Hallams.
View the Executive Summary
In the 21st century, the transatlantic bargain that has framed the relationship between the United States and its NATO allies is under more scrutiny than ever before. The bargain was a Cold War construct suited to its time; what is required now is a transatlantic bargain that generates a new culture of transatlantic partnership between the United States, NATO, and the European Union.

The Emery County Community Theatre (ECCT) proudly presents "Mame", a musical based on a book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. It will be presented at the Emery High School Auditorium March 15, 16, and 17. All performanced are at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 each, with children under 5 free.
The story revolves around Mame Dennis (Loyette Holdaway), an eccentric New York woman whose motto is "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death". Her bohemian lifestyle is disrupted when her deceased brother's 10 year old son, Patrick (Nick Ledger) is entrusted to her care. Rather than bow to convention, Mame introduces the boy to her free-wheeling lifestyle. Also figuring in the story line are Mame's personal secretary and nanny-in-law, Agnes Gooch (Savannah Withers); her bosom buddy, Vera Charles (Linda Daley); Dwight Babcock (Jake Barnett), the stuffy executor of Patrick's father's estate; and Ito (Alex Stevenson) the family butler. Mame loses her fortune in the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and tries her hand at a number of jobs, with comically disastrous results, but perseveres with good humor and an irrepressible sense of style.
Mame eventually meets and marries Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside (Val Jenkins), a Southern aristocrat. While they are away on their 'extended' honeymoon, Patrick grows up (now played by Brandon Hess), becoming a bit snobbish, with an equally snobbish girlfriend, Gloria Upson (Jenny Donaldson), much to his Auntie Mame's dismay. All works out in the end, with grace and humor.
Other roles in the musical are portrayed by Edward and Janet Geary, Carol Stilson, Kelly Olson, Tanie Worthen, Elizabeth Fillmore, Melese Pulli, Kolby Stevenson, Sarin Hinkins, John and Lila Donaldson, and dancers from the high school.
Shala (Pitchforth) Osborne puts many personal touches to the musical as the director, with Annell Jackson and Angela Pulli on piano, and David Osborne in charge of the set. You will enjoy hearing some familiar music, which includes, "We Need a Little Christmas", "My Best Girl", "If He Walked into My Life", and of course the wonderful theme song, "Mame". Hope to see you there!

Next summer, Shoreline Community College Dental Hygiene students and other dental hygiene students across Washington and Oregon, will have the opportunity to put their skills to work in Bolivia, South America helping young, homeless Bolivian women learn skills that will help them leave the world of poverty.
Students enrolled in the new 2011 study abroad program, "Oral Health Training in Bolivia: Increasing the Opportunity for Young Women Living in Poverty," will work in the Smiles Forever Dental Hygiene School in Cochabamba, Bolivia, the first and only dental hygiene training facility and clinic in Bolivia. The South American students will learn basic dental hygienist skills. Smiles Forever is a local non-profit organization that provides education to homeless, indigenous women in Bolivia to become dental hygienists.
Rosie Bellert, Shoreline's Dental Hygiene program Interim Director and instructor, says that the program offers students not only the

She is also one of the second year Clinical Hygiene instructors. She is passionate about the arts and brings that passion into restorative hygiene. opportunity to study and work abroad, but the opportunity to put their skills and knowledge to work right away.

She has practiced traditional and restorative hygiene for 34 years, 12 years of which were dedicated to restorative hygiene. Bellert is the lead restorative instructor for the Shoreline Dental Hygiene Program and teaches Dental Anatomy, Local Anesthesia and Pain Control. She is also one of the second year Clinical Hygiene instructors. She is passionate about the arts and brings that passion into restorative hygiene.
"The students will work one-on-one with the Bolivian students, teaching them all they learned in their first year of the program," Bellert said, "and all the while they will be helping them leave the poverty they have known and move into the world of work as dental hygienists." Students will earn three credits via Special Topic: Dental Hygiene 292.
Students enrolled in the Shoreline program will attend a lecture one day a week and work in the clinic four days a week. They will also visit community schools and shelters to teach basic dental care and to talk about the value of eating a nutritious diet leading to healthy oral hygiene.
"This program allows us to not only help these young women by providing an education, but to help fight the immense oral hygiene problems that Bolivians live with," Bellert said.
Bellert, who several years ago met Sandy Kemper, the woman behind Smiles Forever, went to Cochabamba, Bolivia last summer to volunteer. By the end of her stay, she had decided that she wanted to provide the same kind of experience for the students in the SCC Dental Hygiene Program.
"If I can make a difference as just one person, I thought, why not bring students down to help," she said.
Members of the IPAC (International Programs Advisory Committee) seemed to agree with Bellert on the significance of this program, selecting it for the Summer Institute award. Pollie McCloskey, International Programs says that five applications were submitted this year.
Kemper says that the Smiles Forever program is the first dental hygiene program accepted by the Bolivian government and Dental Society. She hopes to have 28 graduates by the end of the school year.
Concert Band Performance to Support Program
On Tuesday, December 7, the Shoreline Concert Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. at the Shorecrest Performing Arts Center. The theme of this year's winter concert is "Smiles," to support the Bolivia Study Abroad program. The Shoreline Concert Band, direceted by Ken Noreen, donated a block of concert tickets to support a fundraising effort for the Smiles Forever program. The $15 tickets can be purchased in advance at the Dental Hygiene Clinic located in Room 2522 on the north end of campus. Call (206) 546-4713 for information.

Shoreline Community College is the top-ranked community college in Washington, according to the online ranking service, StateUniversity.com.
"This ranking system of U.S. public and private educational institutions is statistical and based on U.S. government surveys and reports provided by the schools themselves," ther service Web site says. "Based on the data provided by these schools, we rank the schools on a combination of factors including student retention, faculty salary, and student/faculty ratio."
Shoreline Community College is ranked first among community colleges in the state and 26th among all colleges. Bellingham Technical College is the top technical school, according to the rankings.
"I'm pleased that the efforts made by everyone here at Shoreline are paying off in this statistical analysis of performance," Shoreline President Lee Lambert said. "We know this is great college, our students know it is a great college, now everybody can know it."
StateUniversity.com says the primary difference between their process and other rankings is is the absence of peer evaluation and peer surveys.
"Some other popular ranking systems rely heavily on peer evaluations - colleges' evaluations of other colleges - in determining the 'best' schools," a posting on the site says. "In recent years, peer evaluations have come under fire by college ranking critics, who assert that the peer surveys introduce bias and inaccuracy into the process."
The top three colleges in Washington, according to the rankings are: Whitman College, Gonzaga University and the University of Puget Sound. The University of Washington is ranked fourth with Seattle University fifth.
Shoreline Community College has a reputation for stellar faculty. They have earned this distinction because of the many ways they demonstrate their commitment to their students. Most recently, thanks to the hard work of film and video instructors, Ruth Gregory and Kris Boustedt, now Shoreline video and film students have the option to earn transfer credits while completing a professional-technical degree in digital film production.
The college received a message from the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges on October 20, 2010 that approval had been granted for a new Applied Associate of Arts degree in Digital Film Production, which replaces the former Digital Filmmaking Technology certificate program.
Gregory and Boustedt had talked many times about offering students more than a stand-alone professional-technical degree, noting that other film and video programs at colleges and universities across the state were very prof-tech oriented.
"We wanted students to leave not only loving film and video but also having a good, strong academic background. Kris and I believe that to make really good films, students need a strong academic foundation," Gregory said. Students who enroll in the program will be required to
We want students to leave not only loving film and video but also to have a good, strong academic background. Ruth Gregory, Film and Video Instructorcomplete 15 credits of electives outside the department. For example," Gregory said, "if students are interested in history, they can take specific classes in the history department and then incorporate that knowledge into a film they are producing. To make great films, filmmakers need to have experience and knowledge about what to make them about. The out-of-program electives will help to facilitate that."
We want students to leave not only loving film and video but also to have a good, strong academic background. Ruth Gregory, Film and Video Instructor
The two instructors put their heads together and rewrote the former program as a unique hybrid degree where students would be required to complete general education courses as well as digital film courses to ensure that students would get the academic background not only to produce great films, but also to be
in a position to transfer those credits if they wish. Students are required to complete not only English 101, but 102, two quantitative reasoning courses, and two multicultural understanding courses to ensure that they have a command of good writing and critical thinking skills.
"It's really wonderful that our faculty care enough about our students that they invest the time and energy to take a prof-tech program and develop it into a program that offers students a foundation in general education courses, too," Norma Goldstein, Dean, Humanities, said about Gregory and Boustedt. "These faculty have been working hard for a long time to prepare for this degree, and its fabulous that it can lead directly into film baccalaureate programs in the state."
The new degree was made possible by three grants written by Goldstein, Boustedt, and Gregory. "Both Kris and I came into the program in Fall of 2008 with the same goal of seeing the program expand into a degree," Gregory said. "Our certificate programs were already so big they were almost degrees anyway. Dean Goldstein really helped us to find grants to support that development and soon enough we were on our way."
The degree is already up on the college web site and interested students have already begun to contact Gregory about it. "We may see a couple students graduate this spring at the very earliest," she said, "It is incredibly exciting."
Students who complete the degree path with a 2.4 GPA or better can apply to transfer to Central Washington University and enter their Film and Video Studies program as a junior. "Part of the degree creation process for us was making sure that it not only offered professional opportunities for our students, but also transfer options," Gregory said, "Having options is always important."
The AAAS and AAS-T (transfer) program was approved at 97 credits. The Performance Arts and Digital Filmmaking department also offers two certificate options. The existing certificate option, Acting for Stage and Camera was approved to be grandfathered in as a primary program with the existing option program, Writing and Directing for the Camera as its option.
Lights. Camera. Transfer. A kick-off event is scheduled for Tuesday, November 16 at 11am in PUB 9202. Interested students will have the opportunity to learn more about the program, pick up planning sheets, talk about upcoming classes, professional opportunities, college clubs and academic transfer options. The event is being held before registration for Winter Quarter begins. "We wanted to get the word out as soon as possible," Gregory said, "We know that there are students who have been cheering the process on from the sidelines and we are excited to officially be able to share the degree with them after two years of hard work."

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Trail-Gator Trail Gator:
I was skeptical about the Trail Gator and whether it would work well - particularly since I have a 14.5" frame Trek 29'er. Because of the small frame, I have to mount the Trail Gator way up high on my seat post in order to have enough clearance for the rear tire. I was concerned that the Trail Gator would bend my seat post. So concerned, in fact, that I bought a second seat post.So far, it appears I didn't need to be concerned. The weight of the Trail Gator is lower than I expected... and the "tongue weight" (if you want to call it that) is pretty low with my (smallish) 6 year old on her 16" bike attached to the Trail Gator. It is a bit more difficult for me to ride with her back there - but arguably, that just gives me a better workout.I will say that assembly of the Trail Gator was considerable more difficult than I expected (and I've rebuilt motorcycle engines, installed a supercharger on my car, etc...). It wasn't that putting the relatively small number of parts together was difficult - it was getting them adjusted properly so that the smaller bike's wheel was far enough off the ground.DO NOT completely tighten the bolts which are attached to the head tube of the smaller bike until you have checked the ground clearance of the smaller bike's front wheel (I tightened them first, found there wasn't enough clearance... and had to loosen, shim and re-tighten). Once you're sure the clearance is good with the small bike's front wheel, then tighten those bad boys as much as you can to avoid slippage. I went really tight and haven't had any issues (although I did check them again after the first ride).An excellent product that is a bit tricky to install.

Good To Go!
By Prince S
from Everett, WA
Bought this as a Father's Day gift for my husband. He put it together :) It took him a while- and he's hands on / mechanical. Also bought extra seat post kit so we can easily swap towing. My son is almost 3 yrs old and just got his first 12" bike- He loves the Trail Gator!It allows us to ride for miles and miles and teaches him balance. The tow bar is not as heavy as the little bike, but there is a definite added weight so be sure to compensate for that when braking. The bar that keeps his front wheels stationery is cheesy and pops off, Zip ties work great because they are easy to remove when they want to ride on their own. We do dirt/gravel roads, I try to steer around the potholes but that doesn't mean he gets around all of them. We are all really happy we went with this trail gator as opposed to a child seat because of his age / size. He had outgrown the yellow cart but could not yet keep up- perfect for our needs.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Trail Gator
By Little Pea's momma
from North Dakota
This is a nice product. A little complicated to assemble. I didn't feel the instructions were very clear. The only problem we have had is that I am under 5 feet tall so normally ride with the seat of my bike all the way down but because of the clearance needed to make this product work I had to raise my seat. It is not ideal but works ok. Wouldn't be a problem at all if I were a few inches taller.....

By EJG

Very good for getting around with the kids. Light, stowable. Quick to take on and off. The dohicky that keeps the kid's handlbars from turning could be stronger; tends to pop off. Not a safety problem, just annoying.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Apparently the driver moved to the far right to avoid a car partially in his lane. He then went into the oncoming lane of traffic, turned onto its side and then came to rest upright partially over the guard rail in the southbound lane on SR-10. The accident caused the spillage of large quantities of Red Bull product onto the roadway and the delay of traffic in both lanes while the accident was removed.

Celebrating a Century of Girl-Scouting: 1913-2013
Central Library, Youth Wing
This exhibition is displayed in both the Youth Wing and the Lobby Gallery on the 1st floor (next to the Passport Office).
In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong.
In this exhibition, the Girl Scouts of Greater New York showcase archival prints, historical uniforms, and other ephemera that document the important moments in the Girl Scouts' history.
Founder Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia. Today, there are 3.2 million Girl Scouts!
Girls at home and abroad participate in troops and groups in more than 92 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas, and over 100 local Girl Scout councils offer girls the opportunity for membership across the United States.
More than 59 million American women enjoyed Girl-scouting during their childhood—and that number continues to grow as Girl Scouts of the USA continues to inspire, challenge and empower girls everywhere.

Without chest-punding or sermonizing, let's discuss some basic "religious" questions...
How much of the "original" Bible was changed by errors or opinions of transcribing monks and others?
Why is Jesus of Nazareth portrayed as a prototypical Caucasian and not a Semite?
Would a loving Jesus, who gave us His personal example with women, with the lame, with the compassionate story of the outsider Samaritan, challenging outmoded rules in synagogues/temples, etc., be judgmental of gays, transgendered, "foreigners," "outsiders," etc.?
People portrayed in the Bible didn't speak in Latin. Why do we portray Christianity as a sort of Latin-based religion?
Did the Great Flood happen to all of humankind, all animals, all living organisms, or just to those within Noah's existence of Middle Eastern geography?
How changed and elevated have we made Jesus of Nazareth centuries after His birth?
Why did the Vatican hide the early copy of the Bible, the Codex Vaticanus, from translators?
Who attended the various Councils [Council of Carthage] that decided on what books to put in the "official" Bible?
How and when did it develop that Christianity was a religion separate from Judaism?
How can it be that there are stories and traditions in many areas of the world, among many cultures, for centuries before Jesus, that are similar to Biblical accounts, though these cultures had been untouched by Christians or Jews when their stories evolved?
Is Christianity in decline?
Which of the following are most important for a Christian: empathy, love, compassion, understanding, friendship, tolerance, peace, acceptance, judgment, ostracization, criticism, hope?
Who has the right to judge others? On what basis?
Should the United States of America be considered a Christian nation?
Could an atheist be elected President of the United States?
Who has done the most in serving the human condition: Desmond Tutu? Billy Graham? Dalai Lama? Pat Robertson? The Pope? Caesar Chavez? Nelson Mandela? Barack Obama? Mother Teresa? Gloria Steinem? Martin Luther King? FDR?
