Cue annab– err — with the scissor sister slur shaming.ReplyCancel
Every fucking day of the year, Enty. Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Other celeb stoners:
Aniston, Theron, Stefani
Maybe KStew ran into THESE Lovely ladies….ReplyCancel
That's all well and good Enty but was she at any of Singer's parties?ReplyCancel
Shes so tight she needs something to loosen up with, let her be she isn't bothering anyone except a certain poster at CDaN.ReplyCancel
It's not slut shamming if it's true. Her dirt was good & others asked her for the dirt. This girl really needs to get clean & come out, at the point Stew is at it can only help her.ReplyCancel
Come sit with me boo!ReplyCancel
Love that show!ReplyCancel
It's slut shaming. On a post where it was implied she was raped. And her fixation on that chick is unsettling and borderline homophobic.ReplyCancel
C'mon with the marijuana blinds. The Justice Department is looking to reverse a shit ton of sentences for offenses that are no longer offenses.
How about a "Dean Martin was SO drunk that…" blind? Redacted of course. I promise to guess.
Looky at what we could do together, you and me!ReplyCancel
Sugar – is that video real or photoshopped? Pretty cool if real.ReplyCancel
You are on Celebrity Gossip Site. Not the place to stand on your soapbox. If you don't like what you read, don't google this site.ReplyCancel
You're right. Just so glad to be done with that psycho. Good thing she's gone.ReplyCancel
Nah, Hollywood dime is cool. Annabelle was the one who turned every post into a Stewart slam session, until one blind about an actress was raped and she went off about what a slut Stew (the popular guess) is and all the dudes she does but is a "scissor sister" bla blah.
She left after a bunch of readers pointed out that she was crazy and maybe took it too far on a rape post. All around bizarre.ReplyCancel
She had good dirt on alot of celebs, she knew what she was posting about.ReplyCancel
@ Sherry. i think they are talking about the belle (bella) poster that loathes kstew. but I'm also confused, I thought anda = Belle chick?!!ReplyCancel
It was just my theory bc after belle disappeared, anda showed up and seems to have hwood knowledge like she did. I think I may be a CDAN conspiracy theorist though, so don't put too much into my observation. LolReplyCancel
I think Mel is right. Names may change, but behaviours rarely follow suit.ReplyCancel
Mel is spot on. Same fixation on the same celebs and uses the exact same language. The crazy got turned on me last year so it's easy to spot.ReplyCancel
Was it a hot rape story or a 🙁 rape story? I think I would have remembered a hot KStew rape story.ReplyCancel
I totally thought the same thing!ReplyCancel
Sometimes I just think I'm not smart enough to understand alls the sarcasm. I remember Anna Belle, though! Kristin tried to dump her on me once and we became besties right after! Right until she ditched me for she who must not be named.ReplyCancel
Well yeah, everyone's average would go up if we all went back and deleted the shit we were wrong about like she did. Math and stuff.ReplyCancel
TTM, are you still mad about the Alison Janney friendship necklace? I realize my mistake.ReplyCancel
Not even a little bit. I hardly even mention it anymore. My counselor says hi, by the way!ReplyCancel
Can I do my penance at the Hiddle Vigil?ReplyCancel
14 days, Wigs!! And like 4 minutes.ReplyCancel
Sorry guys. Thought it was her and wanted to suss it out. No better provocation than someone showing KStew sympathy.ReplyCancel
You guys are a lot more perceptive than I am, though I at least did catch the Rach alias as well. Anyone remember Anna Nonymous (I think) from around this time last year, she would turn every single thread into some drama about her abusive husband? I left because of her and came back after she was gone, but I always assumed that she was behind a bunch of the crazies that would randomly appear then disappear.ReplyCancel
I remember Anna Nonymous! You left because of her?? No bueno! I think I was even on one of those abusive-husband threads, everyone was pretty worried. I thought she came back as anna Katherine nonymous or something?ReplyCancel
Bwahahaha, JSierra, your spelling totally made me do a spit-take re: our KristinReplyCancel
All these bitches and their multiple identities sux yo! 🙁ReplyCancel
I see you've been using my notes @lowkey lol. You have to be careful who you accuse of being someone else though. Remember it wasn't even that long ago that half the users were convinced I was a fucking troll too. Still cracks me up.ReplyCancel
Anna Belle if you're Liberty Ross, I have plenty of space in my beachside apartment and I'll let you live in the empty part for free!ReplyCancel
I don't understand why people think someone is a troll just because they disagree. Now if they come in and start shit with everyone that's another story.
As I recall about Anna Anonymous was a few other posters busted her for being dramatic and possibly making up the entire story about an abusive husband. As I recall she lives down in Carmel or Monterey CA.ReplyCancel
Wigs gave me crap (and won my heart) on a Kstew post where I misspelled Kristen as Kristin. I like the smart ones, too.
@JSierra, FWIW, I'm glad you're back.ReplyCancel
Yeah JSierra. Keep your slurs straight 🙂ReplyCancel
*sluts straight
Goddamn Sandy spelchekReplyCancel
I should have known better, especially on here, to forget a beloved E! But yes, I was referring to Kristen Stewart, I've always liked our Kristin and her clone wigs.
I bought into the whole abusive husband thing at first, then it started to get really fishy IMO. I just wasn't believing what she was putting out there and although I am a firm lover of some OT it was getting really out of control how she would take over every single post with her violent tales which only escalated in their drama as more and more people consoled her (duh, who wouldn't try to console an abused woman?). It just all seemed too fake to me, especially the more it progressed. I felt like an asshole thinking that, I don't know this girl what if she actually was going through all that? Then I finally questioned it all and one poster went ballistic on me and I was embarrassed and annoyed and over it so I left. Late 2012-early 2014 was a very angry time around these parts, it seemed like every post was a battleground and no one could escape unscathed. It's much calmer now, just the occasional weirdo going nuts which is way more bearable then vicious personal mob attacks by every single poster.ReplyCancel
LOL, what's next? Accusations of being illuminati? Not everyone who post their own opinion is the same person.ReplyCancel
@JSierra: Don't forget that a couple months after she left the guy, and I think before she was divorced, she was engaged to another dude.ReplyCancel
I remember that JSierra. I stopped reading comments around that time. Glad you're back.ReplyCancel
whoa. just popped in to read the reveals and noticed my name. I don't even recall someone saying I was full of it for sharing personal problems. they were most certainly not bullshit, but maybe sounded out there. it was a shifty time and it helped immensely to get perspective from all you ladies saying it was terribly wrong and I didn't deserve it,etc. I didn't make any of it up. I'm sorry if anyone felt I hijacked,whined or attacked anyone. I was looking for and got some much needed support. things are very healthy, happy and normal now for me. oh and I stopped coming in much because of the nutty trolls and weird stuff. didn't mean to add to weirdness if I did.ReplyCancel
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.ReplyCancel
I've been wondering if Kristin (Wiglet) is formerly known as Amanda's Wig? Amanda's Wig was hilarious too, and I thought it really respectful to Amanda Bynes if they changed their name due to AB's psych issues.ReplyCancel
Dingle Berry, can't tell if you're being serious or not :/ReplyCancel
The theory is there are only a few people who post here. They log in under multiple names.ReplyCancel
I'm asking a sincere question. Not meant to be disrespectful at all.ReplyCancel
I don't use any other name and never have. I'm too forgetful (old head injuries) to keep much straight with one name.ReplyCancel
Okay, that's great! The more the better.
Now where is Amanda's Wig? Still hunting for Libby and Libby on a Mobile too. VIP Blonde pops in from time to time, so that mystery is solved.ReplyCancel
I wish I could take credit for all of that.ReplyCancel
Why not include Lindsay Lohan on the list?ReplyCancel
Well now we know why she loves the ladies, constant munchies.
Would totally grope her if she passed out from too many pot brownies.ReplyCancel
Buy the ticket, take the ride.ReplyCancel
I can assure you all I am really me, I mean most of the time. Other times I'm someone else, but then again am I? Can a person truly be themselves or our identities created by who we are around? But that begs the question of who creates the first self that others adjust to? Were they too influenced to be someone else as to accommodate another person and who was that person trying to accommodate? It's really just another version of which came first the chicken or the egg. But even that question can be solved based upon your beliefs of either creationism or evolution. For if you are a creationist, the chicken would have come first since the creator created all living things and that would mean that their wouldn't be other chickens around to warm and protect the eggs, hence the chicken would have come into being fully formed. However, if you believe in evolution, then obviously the egg came first as the chicken was a product of natural selection and/or genetic mutations over millions of years which would be born from an egg.
You know, I have just come to a realization. I need a hobby.ReplyCancel
You know that, right thur, is why I lurve my RowdyReplyCancel
No disrespect taken. Thought you were joking about an Amanda's Wig username. I'm not Amanda's Wig.
I was just "Kristin" but then there was a lowercase "kristin" floating around so the Wiglet was added sometime around the holidays.ReplyCancel
Hi Dingle! Thank you so much, I did change my name out of love and healthy fear of my boo! Kristin J. T. Wig may be a cuz of mine though!ReplyCancel
As an evolutionist I am still confused, did the chicken or the egg come first? Also,.I may or may not be so that may or may not have something to do With that thought process. But really, Mountains are just land dinosaurs. And we are the asteroid that is making them extinct.ReplyCancel
But seriously, where did that damn egg come from? Did it just come to being from the coincidental organization of cells? Or did it originate in the body of s chicken? WhIch wOuld have been born from a lucky cell,.so I suppose the chicken came first in order to continue the birth of the organized cell. But where did the chicken evolve from? Pterodactyl?ReplyCancel
I remember when Kristin mentioned something random about deletion of incorrect guesses on a reveal. Lo and behold, I went and had a nosy and it was definitely true! Anna Belle (I think that's how it was written) would totally go back and systematically whitewash history!
The effort involved in such hijinks really impressed me.ReplyCancel
Anna Nonymous was amazing, @JSierra! Wash out your mouth.
She experienced every calamity possible, within about a six month period. And speaking of periods, last drama I heard was on one of those mega posts where she mentioned that she was pregnant. And she does pop in here occasionally – wish that she'd come out to play :(((
I'm still rooting her her, and her ficticious little brain-baby!ReplyCancel
TTM she changed her name a little bit quite regularly – it was all a theme though. Then there were a bunch of mocky-trollster Annas (including Count's favorite Miss Mess).
It might have been a tad before you started commenting, TTM, because every single day, most posts, she'd be sympathy-baiting. It wasn't just occasionally. She came in, introduced herself, and that she was in an abusive relationship and had decided to leave. There followed a 4-6 week period where she was heading up to leave the abusive bf. And she'd get sympathy too, every day, from the nice commenters here (back then that was Amber, Libby, Sunny to name some from memory – different crew) but kept having to turn up the crazy dial to top the last calamity.
That chick was outrageous – but like Sherry had said, it's better to be considered a sap when people make insane claims than to just be mean and dismissive. Even so, after a while, it was just too much.ReplyCancel
My phone is playing outkast prototype and I am tripping reading this.ReplyCancel
whew what was this bi aboot again??ReplyCancel
I agree, Alita, I'd rather be a sucker than a jerk, although typically I stay out of discussions when I'm not sure of motivation of the poster.
The thing I remember most about Anna Nonymous, and since she is here now, maybe she can confirm? was the absolute certainty that all trolls were someone named Marcie.ReplyCancel
Wow, so does anyone know who the hijacking trolls were? I had to take a few months break from here. The comment schizophrenia gave me a headache. Many of the regulars from aeons ago aren't here, at least not under the same name. Like Texshan, Vicki, Libby, etc. I seriously don't understand what happened to this website.
I have never been a super regular poster, though, so I'm not in "the know." I usually read the posts when everyone else has already commented.ReplyCancel
I hate to be late, but wasn't Anna Nonymous originally Carmelite lady? @Sherry mentioning she thought that's where she lived confirmed my memory…she changed her names a lot in a short amount of time, but you could always tell who it was because the posts were LONG.ReplyCancel

The board of the Municipal Building Authority of Emery County met in their regularly scheduled meeting on July 2 at 2 p.m. Those present were Commissioners Randy Johnson, Ira Hatch and Drew Sitterud. Other board members, Dennis Nelson and Sharon Jensen were also in attendance.
The first item on the agenda was the update by Todd Kitchen on the public safety complex. He said they have been taking care of the items on the punch list. "We anticipate we will probably be done by July 12 or 13 and we would like to schedule a final walk through of the project." Everyone present agreed on a time of 9 a.m. on July 18 for the final walk through.
The only item in question at this time is the floor in the sallyport. Sahara has been researching products and recommended a floor coating to be added to the surface of the floor. It is an expensive coating but cheaper when compared to the costs of ripping and replacing the floor.
The floor would be prepared by blasting it and all the cracks would be repaired. The spray would be applied, it would be flexible and the cracks could flex. The life expectancy of this coating will be 15 plus years. This is the same type of coating that is applied in parking garages and high traffic area. Kitchen pointed out that they are willing to take care of the problem.
Commissioner Johnson said he has seen this particular product used and it is a good product. Before it could be applied the drainage problem would need to be taken care of. Kitchen said a specialist from Geneva Rock would be coming down to do a ping test to determine the integrity of the concrete.
Nelson wondered what had happened to the floor in the sallyport and how much concrete this involves. It was explained that the area is 2,200 square feet and that the concrete is cracked and has a poor finish.
The drainage problem will be fixed. The board made a decision to wait for the results of the concrete strength test before they made a decision on what direction to go with the floor.
Kitchen reported the courts building is on schedule and they should gain ground in the next couple of months. The budgets look good and a packet is being prepared which shows budget summaries and leases. Sahara is meeting with the courts people and will proceed with the budget and plan as it is written now. Kitchen pointed out the courts people want to plan for the future with the electrical capabilities of the facility and they (Sahara) have been able to accommodate that. Other items which are not in the budget but they might want to add include an elevated floor, and plasma screens on the wall for juries to look at. Conduits will be added for them. It was mentioned that in the future if the courts want to add things they must pay the cost.
Kitchen wants the line of communication to go from the courts people to the county and then to Sahara. Sahara prefers to take its direction from Emery County. A meeting between all those involved will take place in the near future.
The next item discussed was the metal storage building for the facility. It was determined that a bid package be put together so a bid can be let out on the building. Sheriff Lamar Guymon said the building would have two overhead heaters, one drive-in door, water, sewer and power. The building will be used to store all equipment belonging to the sheriff's office.
The next item discussed was the parking lot at the care and rehabilitation center in Ferron. Two power poles have not been moved yet by Utah Power but they are expected to be moved in the near future. The parking lot is now level with the sidewalk and the commissioners said it looks good.
The next item of discussion was the incubator building. Commissioner Sitterud said he had toured the facility with Randy Jensen and a representative from Utah Power. "It will be quite an expense to get it up to standard. The roof and sewer system need major repairs. He estimated approximately $800,000 in repairs."
Commissioner Hatch suggested maybe when a business comes our way we should gear the repairs to that business. Commissioner Sitterud said the sewer system was horrendous. Sharon Jensen said perhaps parts of the building were usable without a lot of expense. Hatch said that the building fits the need of the business that is in there now and that he has been fixing the building to meet his needs and had asked for approval so he could pour part of the floor. He has been using used oil heaters to heat the portion of the building they are using for their trucks.
Commissioner Sitterud said they needed to take a serious look before any money was invested in the building. He suggested they might be better off building a new building for the business which had been suggested by Welles Cannon in the incubator study. This business proposal was for plastic recycling and the manufacture of plastic products.
The next item was the discussion of furniture for the public safety complex. It was determined they would look at the budget and figure out how the furniture would be paid for, but Sheriff Guymon could get started with the selection of the furniture.
The next item was the approval of the bills. The bill for the incubator survey will be paid from grant money secured for the project. There was a question on the Sahara bills for the releasing of the retainage amounts. It was determined that they would pay the bills and clarify the retainage. If possible, Clerk Bruce Funk requested the bills for Sahara be turned into the clerk's office sooner so they can be reviewed.
Commissioner Johnson said a special meeting of the MBA will need to be called on the bond when it is ready later in the month. He also said they have been given an A3 rating on the bond. The problem now is in insuring the bond. Commissioner Johnson pointed out that Emery County has a fund balance without any debts and is in good standing for the bond. He said the county will get a better rate if it is insured. He said sometimes they see one single large taxpayer in the county for our tax base and it scares them off.
The next item on the agenda was the approval of the minutes for the May 7 and June 4 meetings. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the municipal building authority will be on August 6 at 2 p.m in the commission chambers.

As I started reading the book, I noticed that I was very weepy. I'm not a crier, but I do get verklempt very easily. Am a complete and utter mushpot. Anything that remotely pushes that button in movies/TV and real life - dying animals, reunions of lost lovers, special moment spent with a sibling, birth, weddings and all other poignant moments has me tearing up and fumbling for a Kleenex. It's ridiculous, but there is. In the beginning, the action in the book doesn't come very close to that infamous button and I wasn't sure why I was crying, but I put it down to hormones or fatigue and read on, rediscovering the book all over again, only vaguely remembering what happened next just as I was getting to it.
In the beginning of the book, when Heidi moves in with her grandfather, I realized where my obsession with a cabin in the woods comes from. I remember wanting to be Heidi when I was a child - sleeping in the hayloft in a bed made of sweet smelling hay by a window to the stars, lulled to sleep by the wind singing in the pines. It sounded glorious. I still want to be her.
Then Heidi gets taken to Frankfurt by her aunt, to be companion to Clara, who's an "invalid" slightly older than she and the weepy got a little stronger. I started to have memories of the rehab hospital in which I spent much of my time between the ages of 11-14. It was a very nasty place. Heidi is so homesick that she literally gets ill and I remembered knowing exactly how she felt, being so homesick myself that I cried for weeks, couldn't sleep and didn't eat. Us older girls were "cared for" by a nurse much like Miss Rottenmeier, as capriciously mean and unsuited to dealing with children as the
Although I had initially identified with Heidi, when she was in
In the third part of the story, Heidi is returned to her grandfather in the
Idon't dream of walking anymore. I haven't walked for 30 years and it no longer bothers me. When I wish for something that isn't what I am now, I think of the things that would be granted me if my legs were functioning like "normal", not the act of walking itself. I want to ride a horse, sit on the grass, dance, scuba dive and go to the bathroom by myself. I want to climb a mountain (except not like this Spanish trail, because I still feel faint 24 hours after watching it) and sail a tall ship. I want to walk on the beach, down where the waves break and foam around your feet. I want to run and ride a bike and go to circus school and see the inside of a pyramid.
But the thing is, it's okay if I don't. I am not sad about it anymore - it is not something I long for (well, maybe with the exception of the ocean thing. I know – big surprise). It's been like this for 30 years, it's normal to me.
Then why the crying? Why the overwhelming sadness and heartbreak that has been following me around as I'm reading this favourite story of my childhood? I think it's leftover memories, the heartbreak of a girl who wished and wished and wished that the pain and the limits would disappear, that a cure would be as easy as living on the mountain and drinking goat's milk for three weeks.
Ifeel so sad for this girl whose memories are still within me. I can feel how desperate and afraid she was, how her life and the illness was incomprehensible. I can feel her memories of just recently riding her bike to school with her friend AB, playing hopscotch in recess, running up the stairs at her grandparents' to ring the bell, bursting into her grandmother's arms. How she was always in motion. And how now, a few years later, stuck in a hospital, every day in pain, every day it getting worse, the crying so close to the surface and how every day, she held it back, because it wouldn't change anything. And because if she let go, started to cry, she might never stop. There are so many tears here.
Iused to joke that I didn't have baggage, I had steamer trunks. After Enbrel gave me my life back, I decided to clean my inner house and get rid of them and have slowly been going through each trunk, finding the things I'd put away and repressed deep down. I've looked them in the face, processed them and let them go, becoming ever lighter. I didn't know I had more trunks yet, hidden so deep within that they seemed to not be there at all, trunks filled with the despair of a little girl.
I will be lighter at the end, but right now, I'm not enjoying looking in this particular trunk.

Across the country, shoppers are participating in what's called the SNAP Challenge. The SNAP program — formerly known as food stamps — provides an average of $31.50 a week per person, so the challenge was to shop within that budget. One high-ranking participant took the challenge in Springfield today (Wednesday). Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary John Polanowicz and his wife Kathleen stopped by the Save-A-Lot Food Store in Springfield's Liberty Heights area to shop for their family of three. Polanowicz says even with the store's cheaper prices and discounts, he found it difficult to make nutritious decisions on what he describes as a modest benefit of less than five dollars a day.
"I didn't start keeping track right from the very beginning. And as you started to fill things in, I was worried, you know, am I going to go over. So…I felt ourselves making decisions on well I guess, maybe we shouldn't get that because we're not sure how close we're going to be to the amount."
Polanowicz says some 880,000 Baystate residents, or about 1 in 8, received SNAP benefits. About 35% are children and another 15% are elderly. He says the majority of recipients have jobs. But critics have attacked the program as promoting long term dependents who scam taxpayers. Kathleen Polanowicz says those critics should try walking in a SNAP recipient's shoes.
"I think that people overestimate what's characterized as fraud and abuse. I think that this a program that people have to qualify for. About 80% of people work in the year after they receive SNAP, it's a leg up. And no one wakes up in the morning hoping to be on SNAP benefits."
The US Senate this week voted to cut $4 billion in SNAP benefits as part of a farm bill. A House version would cut up to $20 billion over the next ten years. Polanowicz says those proposed cuts are in addition to an automatic cut expected in October, when federal stimulus money goes away, further reducing a family of four's benefit by $25.

Fun Shoes
"I purchased these shoes for a destination wedding. I wear 7.5 and they fit perfect. While I am not a fan of wedges, these shoes have tons of style and sass! I wore these shoes for about 5 hours before they started to hurt my feet. However, the bridal party spent over an hour walking through uneven meadows for pictures and the ceremony took place on uneven, hilly, and soft ground that made standing in one place a little difficult. For what I put these shoes through they did great!"

CUTE but.......
"Shoe is adorable! I do love it, but runs big (long) & narrow. I have narrow long feet, so I thought they'd fit perfectly (according to other reviews). Ordered 7 1/2 but fits too long & loose in ball/toe area. I ususally get away with wearing a size 7 1/2 or 8. Should have ordered a 7 in these. Regardless, I still like them so I'll be keeping them. Too much hassle to exchange and I know they don't have these at any of the stores anymore. I also love that the color actually looks more like a burnt orange than red. Works for me. : )"

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
It has been 18 years since Emery High School last had a wrestling state champion. Now the countdown will start again and hopefully the next champ will come next year.
Last Saturday evening, senior Chet Funk dominated the 170-pound weight class enroute to the 2-A title. Funk finished the year with an official record of 44-3.
Chet had won the divisional title the prior weekend in Richfield by pinning each of the opponents he faced in preparation for the final tournament of the season.
Funk opened the State meet with a pin in the first round against Christensen of Manti. Chet pinned him in 1:10 of the first round. Funk next faced Clegg of South Summit and pinned him even quicker, this time in 1:05 of the first round.
In the semi-finals, Funk faced Daniel Bowman of Kanab. Bowman came into the bout with a 42-14 record. Bowman and Funk battled into the third round before Chet finally pinned with 37 seconds left in the match. Prior to the pin, Funk had built up a big point advantage.
Bowman actually scored the first points against Funk in a match in over a month. Even though Bowman got Funk in a little bit of an early predicament, one never felt that Funk was in trouble and evidently that feeling was right. Funk is not only a great wrestler, he also is one that has put time in to hone his physique and become strong.
In the championship match against Nicholas Degraffenried of North Sevier, Funk faced the opponent that he had opened the season against way back in early December, one of the three opponents that had defeated him throughout the season. Degraffenried was 44-9 coming into this bout.
In the first round, Funk got the takedown and then the two wrestled that way the rest of the round. Funk led 2-0. In the second round, Funk started in the up position and the two stayed that way the entire round. Funk did receive a point though because his opponent was cited for stalling. He was just trying to prevent being pinned the whole way instead of trying to win.
In round three, Funk started in the down position and, with about 40 seconds gone in the round, got a reversal on his man and that is the way the match ended. Funk won 5-0 and was now the state champion.
This story though is not just about Chet Funk. Emery, as a team finished ninth in the 2-A ranks. This is Emery's first top 10 finish in who knows how long. Emery also had two other wrestlers place.
Sophomore Cezly Collard finished fifth in the tournament in the 120-pound weight class and ended the season with a 32-12 record. Collard opened the tournament with two wins before losing to the eventual runner-up. Sophomore Ryan Cox finished in sixth place in the 126-pound weight class and he ended the season with 33-13 record. Both will be counted on next season to help Emery's continued improvement on the mat.
Here are the other wrestlers that participated in the 2-A state tournament this year, Jason Anderson at 113 pounds, Wyatt Oveson at 126 pounds, Paden Wells at 132 pounds, Nagel Viera at 138 pounds, Cole Guymon at 145 pounds, Dakota Curtis at 145 pounds, Tyson Stout at 160 pounds, Brett Sorensen at 182 pounds, Ky Jensen at 195 pounds, Kenden Huff at 195 pounds, Brandon McCandless at 220 pounds and Zach West at 220 pounds. Only Funk, McCandless, Sorensen and Stout are seniors.

|Publisher Richard Shaw reviews plans with advertising director Jenni Fasselin.
Brehm Communications named Richard Shaw as publisher of the Sun Advocate, Emery County Progress and Smart Shopper last week. The announcement came at a corporate manager meeting at the companys headquarters in San Diego, Calif. Last April, Shaw was appointed general manager of the publications when former publisher Ken Larson, relocated to southern California. Larson was named last year as publisher of the Desert Entertainer and Desert Mobile Home News. The two newspapers are owned by Brehm Communications and fill niche markets in Palm Springs, Calif. Larson served as publisher for the newspapers in Castle Valley for more than three years.
Shaw has worked for the Sun Advocate for five and a half years, spending three years as sports editor and reporter, followed by two years as community editor. Growing up in Murray, Shaw graduated from Murray High School before attending the University of Utah where he studied communications. My journalism experience extends from when I was in high school, he said. But I didnt do much with it for a long time after I was out of college. He spent 14 years working at Granite School District, where he was an employee in the facilities department. In the early 1980s, Shaw started writing for trade press magazines. He began to write for a more general audience later in the decade.
During the years, he has written for numerous publications including such periodicals as Entrepreneur, Your Church, Salt Lake City Magazine, Salt Lake City Weekly and The Enterprise. In 1990, Shaw relocated to the Price area and began working at the College of Eastern Utah in the facilities department. He was at the college for four years and then opened his own business, which he ran for six years.
In 2000, he joined the staff of the Sun Advocate.
I feel the Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress are integral parts of the community, said Shaw. He explained that many longtime readers have stopped in the newspapers offices and told him they have received their news from the local newspapers for years, some for many decades.
I want to be publisher of both newspapers for a long time to come, he said. Having been residents of Carbon County for more than 15 years, Shaw said he and his family consider the area to be their home. I dont want to live anywhere else. This is a great place with great people and some great possibilities.
During the corporate meetings he attended in California, Shaw was also selected as the rookie of the year, an award the company gives out periodically, for his work as general manager at the eastern Utah papers during most of 2005.

St John Simpson, exhibition curator
Years of quiet behind-the-scenes conversations and negotiations through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, accelerating as the months passed, are now about to come to fruition. On 4 November 2010 an official loan agreement was signed in Kabul by Dr Sayed Raheen, the Minister of Information and Culture, and Sir William Patey, the British ambassador to Afghanistan, followed by a second signing in London on 23 November by Neil MacGregor and witnessed by Mr Homayoun Tandar, the Afghan ambassador to Britain.
The purpose of this is to enable the bringing to London of the magnificent collection of objects from the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul which have been touring the world for the past four years. This is the first and only opportunity to see these pieces in Britain.
The objects number over 200 and come from four of the most important archaeological sites in Afghanistan: Tepe Fullol (also known as Khosh Tapa), Ai Khanum (meaning 'Moon Lady' in local Uzbek language), Begram and Tilla Tepe ('Hill of Gold', better known as Tillya Tepe). They were found between 1937 and 1978 and were previously exhibited in the National Museum in Kabul.
All were feared destroyed or lost during the decades of war and unrest following 1978, during which time the collections were regularly moved, the museum occupied by the military, its upper floors destroyed in a rocket strike, pagan wooden carvings from Nuristan burnt as firewood, and finally its surviving collection of ancient figural sculpture systematically destroyed by fundamentalist Taliban in 2001.
The whereabouts and safekeeping of these objects was only confirmed in 2003, after the fall of the Taliban government, when newly elected President Hamid Karzai announced they had been mostly hidden in unmarked safes in vaults beneath the presidential palace.
The objects were then inventoried the following year, partly conserved and re-exhibited in Paris in December 2006. Since then they have travelled to Turin, Amsterdam, Washington, San Francisco, Houston, New York, Ottawa and are currently exhibited in Bonn. The exhibition is a remarkable story of Afghans hiding their own culture in order to preserve it and now proudly displaying it to the world. I'm looking forward to working with the Afghans on this magnificent exhibition.

La Posada, in Winslow, was originally the last Harvey House, built in 1929 for the Santa Fe Railroad, and as the years (and locomotives!) sped by, Amelia Earhart, Harry S. Truman and Shirley Temple, all rested their heads here. Now, it is a destination in itself boasting galleries of progressive paintings and a long hallway of sculptures.

East and West Mitten Buttes in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park (928/871-6647) are just two of the colorful rock formations you can see from The View hotel. Each of the hotel's rooms has a private terrace so that guests can witness firsthand the shifting sunlight and shadows of this otherworldly landscape.
Author and historian Ann-Mary Lutzik and sculptor Dan Lutzik own, operate, and even live in Winslow's Snowdrift Art Space.
To celebrate Monument Valley's central place in many Hollywood westerns, The View serves up dishes like the half-pound John Wayne burger, not to mention green chile stew and red chile posole.
La Posada's Turquoise Room serves locally grown foods such as piki breads with hummus, made of blue corn flour with beanstalk ash water poured over a piki stone, handmade by Joyce Saufkie of the nearby village of Second Mesa.
You'll find unexpected roadside attractions, like playful art installations, in northern Arizona. This postcard "from Elvis" is outside Winslow.
"Twin Arrows," is a popular roadside art installation about halfway between Winslow and Flagstaff.
Petrified Forest National Park boasts sprawling rock formations and petrified wood—look closely in certain spots, such as Newspaper Rock, for ancient petroglyphs that give you a sense of how long people have been bonding with this landscape.

|In response to Re: tub/shower faucet question
When the diverter is used in a tub/shower the water has to flow out of the spout freely. Any restriction, such as additional elbows will cause the water to back up and come out of the shower head when the tub is being filled. But when I use one for just a shower, I either install it upside down and reverse the core or connections, or cap the shower opening and run the tub connection to the shower head, since that opening allows greater flow than the one dedicated to the shower riser. For your purposes you would not need a diverter, but rather a multiport transfer valve so you can turn on whichever head(s) you want.
: I'm installing a shower stall and have been researching faucet options. I'd like to have a regular shower head as well as a "rain fall" one. I know I can buy a separate diverter to use with the 2 devices. My question, why can't I use a valve that has a diverter built into it? The installation instructions say the "tub spout" should be a straight drop with only a 90 and that you shouldn't substitute something for the tub filler. Why is that? I don't have an issue with setting it up properly. I'm just curious about the logic. Is there a "real" reason or is it so you buy another piece?

Do you love Debby Ryan? Ever since I saw her video from the Camp Ronald McDonald fundraiser, I have become her biggest fan. She is in the Disney show, Jessie, where she plays a nanny for 4 kids. In this interview, she talks about her role, and how she deals with being an introvert. (Her advice: "Own it!" even if people think you're shy and nerdy.) Reading this interview makes me love her even more!
Q: Describe what Jessie is like.
Debby: Jessie is strong. She's kind of funny and easygoing. She's not super uptight about things, but she grew up in a military family and her dad was in Special Ops, so she's got this strength about her. She can be militant but she can also be really easygoing, and she's a typical teenager in a lot of ways. But what I like about her is she's resourceful. She moved around a lot. She's been the new girl a lot. So she knows how to make things work. I definitely moved around a lot, so I relate to her in that sense. We're very, very different as people, but her sense of humor is a bit like mine. I mean she's a goofball, and I like goofballs, you know? But she's also very sincere, and she's a caring person but she doesn't have to be mushy and gushy to be caring.
Q: You were the new kid a lot of times. What advice would you give to a kid who might feel a little bit different?
Debby: I moved around a lot, but I knew that I was different and I knew that I was a little bit bizarre and that my mind would come up with random jokes that other people were not going to find amusing. I was sort of random.
But beyond that, I am somewhat of an introvert. I recharge much better when I'm just alone or maybe with one person. I was not. . . you know, there's shy and then there's introverted. There's shy – you're like afraid to speak out and speak your mind. And introverted is just you get fulfillment from being alone or in small groups. That's how I was. I was not as much shy as introverted, but everyone thought I was shy. So the way that I would deal with it is when I started acting I would go and completely be unafraid and just open – be myself as if I was best friends with the entire world. I kind of ended up having two different worlds. You know, it's like performer, entertainer, fearless Debby, and then introverted Debby.
So what I would say to you is find a place where you can be you. Either it's writing or cleaning your room or whatever it is – something that you like to do that makes you feel fulfilled and that you're releasing everything within yourself and also intaking everything you need to grow and digest. But then also have a mode where you're not afraid to walk up to people and introduce yourself, or if someone walks by and you're looking at their shoes, you're like, "Oh, I like your shoes," you know. Things like that. Make a shift and make a conscious effort. Really the only way to be comfortable is to know who you are. Just say like, "Oh cool. This is who I am and this is why I'm different and there will be people who don't get it and think it's really weird, and that's ok. And there will be people who totally will get it one day." As you grow up, people are more understanding with your differences and with you being confident in who you are. Four years ago, people called me a nerd and took my books out of my hands in school and didn't talk to me. Now people are coming up to me and they're like, "Wow, I really like this about you." So just know it's going to get better. Just own it, you know?
Q: When you came to New York with some of the kids in your cast, you sort of mentored them. Did anybody mentor you?
Debby: Chelsea Kane Staub has always been a complete doll to me. Just by studying and being around her balance and her being like, "Debby, I believe in you," and like, "This is great about you," and like, "Stay true to this," that I really am confident in certain things. She's precious. I really wanted to be that for these kids. And it wasn't even my cast kids, but it was, you know, China McClain from A.N.T. Farm and Bella and Zendaya from Shake It Up. I was like, "You know what? I know what it's like to not feel comfortable and I'm going to make this environment."
Isn't she so nice? She's like the older sister I never had!
