Elmo saw a bit of excitement on April 16 as a small tornado with strong winds moved through town. It seemed to just cut a path along three blocks of Main Street and about a block wide. Townspeople said the tornado touched down around 3 p.m. It blew shingles off buildings and knocked down the fence at the post office.
The post master said she saw bits and pieces of the library roof and facing blow off into the yard at the post office. She said she had called her boss earlier in the day to say they were having a problem with one of the sprinklers and then later she had to call back to say the fence at the post office had blown down. It wasn't a good day she commented.
The strong winds blew in a window at the Mortensen residence and knocked down tree limbs.
One of the most spectacular events was described by Ruchelle Mortensen, "It picked up our basketball standard and it came to rest behind the church." Mortensen thinks the flying basketball standard is what damaged the shingles on the church. The Mortensen home is kiddy korner to the LDS church building. The basketball standard traveled approximately 100 yards before coming to rest behind the church. Shingles on the church were damaged and the front corner showed the most significant shingle damage. Another spectacular event was a small camp trailer blown over behind a residence.
There were no reports of injuries during the severe weather.
Many shingles loosened and the metal facing around the library was ripped off and blown into the post office yard. One home had the metal roof sheets stripped off and blown around and into their back yard. Youngsters seemed to think the storm was quite an adventure as they ventured out after the winds had died down. Danielle Robinson and Jon Wright helped to clean limbs off the streets and from underneath trees.
Reba Hansen said, "We had just arrived home when it happened and Marvin went into the house and was blown around, but the grandbaby and I just sat in the truck and waited for it to be over." Reba showed where her fence had been blown down in the pasture and a section of it had blown into the street. She also showed a miraculous event that took place on the day of the tornado. One of the ewes had quadruplets and the mother and babies survived the storm in fine fashion. After it was over the new lambs only seemed interested in getting some lunch.
Residents came through the tornado in typical Emery County fashion. They just looked at the cleanup that needed to be done and got right on it.
The weather remained windy and rainy throughout the week with strong winds, but Elmo was the hardest hit by the week's storms.

That represents a rise from 64 percent three months earlier, which itself represented a not insignificant rise from the 56 percent reported in December 2011. The developer has admitted that the 100% mark will not be met by the arena opening.
Yesterday, CEO David LaRue suggested progress has "re-accelerated" after a slowdown thanks to the NBA labor dispute. Still, his colleagues agreed that income from the arena is not expected to stabilize for some two years after the September 2012 opening.
In his prepared remarks, LaRue stated:
Construction is nearing completion at the Barclays Center arena at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. And preparations for the grand opening in September are underway. As you saw... approximately 70 percent of the forecasted contractually obligated revenues for the arena are under contract. Recently, individual tickets have gone on sale for a number of early events that have been booked into the arena, and the response has been enthusiastic The caliber of the acts being booked, including Barbra Streisand, Justin Bieber, and Andrea Bocell, also demonstrates that Barclays Center is also being recognized as a premier venue for the entire New York metropolitan area.(Here's a transcript; my transcript is based on listening to the call.)
First tower this year, maybe modular
LaRue then raised an issue not discussed in the press release a day earlier:
While we are on the subject of Atlantic Yards I want to confirm that we expect to break ground on our the first residential apartment building at the site by year end. As we have previously announced, we're very looking at a modular construction technique for the residential component, both from a cost and speed of execution standpoint, and we're continuing to make that evaluation.That date, of course, has been pushed back regularly, and Bruce Ratner has, in recent remarks, said indicated by year end or early next year.
Maybe they really have not yet decided, or maybe LaRue didn't want to invite questions about it, but it looks like the evaluation is over; executives for subsidiary Forest City Ratner have indicated a factory should be set up in four to six weeks.
Viewing progress, and impact on malls
One analyst asked the executives how they view arena revenue progress versus original expectations, and if there's any derivative impact on adjacent retail outlets owned by the firm, like the Atlantic Center mall.
"The progress, as we noted.... is very positive," LaRue said. "I think on our prior call we mentioned that we've fallen behind a bit in our pro forma [revenue] progress because of the dispute in the NBA regarding their labor contract, but as you can see from the numbers, progress has re-accelerated."
To the second question, his tone was less authoritative. "The interest around the project in the neighborhood as a result of Barclays Center opening in September has definitely increased," he said. " We have adjacent retail assets which have been well-leased and continue to be well-leased. But the opportunity to have quality assets, and that additional traffic in the area, has sparked additional interest, so there's a spillover benefit that we look forward to."
That presumably depends on the length of the leases; if there were major leases for, say, food and beverage outlets coming up, wouldn't LaRue have been talking them up?
A note on nomenclature and a Brooklyn investor event
Discussing the company's Stapleton project in Denver, LaRue said that it, like The Yards in Washington, DC and Atlantic Yards, has "substantial future entitlement."
That's developer-speak for We can build when we feel like the market's right. Presumably that comes from negotiating deals with some flexibility, or even renegotiating them, as Forest City Ratner has been known for doing.
After the arena opening, "when we've worked out some of the kinks," LaRue said there would be investor event at the Barclays Center in the fall. It's not clear whether that would be geared only to investment analysts or to all shareholders.

Damn it I hated this arc so fkin much but it's finally over. Did anybody else find the animation crappy?
This was by far the best filler I've seen and the final battle was nicely done. Although it didn't kill him, that was an awesome Getsuga Tensho.
That last scene was incredible. so visceral. The animation was great and I love that they actually showed the sword piercing the skin. The way the Regai were killed off you could tell it was rushed lmao. But still a great filler and amazing fight scene.

Skip to comments.Existing home sales unexpectedly dip in April
Posted on 05/19/2011 9:27:20 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
Sales of previously owned U.S. homes fell in April, a trade group said on Thursday, in a sign that the country's housing market is struggling to recover from the recent financial crisis.
Economists polled by Reuters ahead of the report were expecting home resales to rise to 5.2 million from the previously reported 5.1 million.
"The recovery is very sluggish," said the group's senior economist, Lawrence Yun, adding that unnecessarily tight credit is continuing to restrain the market.
About 37 percent of the market consisted of distressed sales, which include both foreclosures and sales of homes where the bank agrees to take less than what is owed.

Does any "expert" get anything the expect anymore.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I'm starting to react to 'unexpectedly' the same way Samuel Jackson reacted to 'What?' in Pulp Fiction.
One blond says to another, "how did you die"? "I froze to death," says the second. "That's awful" says the first blonde. "How does it feel to freeze to death? " "It's very uncomfortable at first," says the second blonde.
"You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes. But eventually, it's a very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if you're sleeping. " "How about you, how did you die? " asked the second blonde.
"I had a heart attack," says the first blonde. "You see I knew my husband was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly. I ran up to the bedroom, and found him alone watching TV.
I ran to the basement, but no one was hiding there either. I ran to the second floor, but no one was hiding there either.
I ran as fast as I could to the attic, and just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack and died. The second blonde shakes her head. "What a pity . . . if you had only looked in the freezer, we'd both still be alive. "
I think that all of these surprises tells me more about the prognosticators than their predictions. Being more accurate than a weather forecast is not exactly high praise.
Of course it's "unexpected".
Anyone who supports the Obamaloon West Wing clown show of felon-cretins is not exactly at the top of the IQ chain.
everyone drink
How do these people still use the word "recovery" with a straight face? It's like saying, "Helen Thomas is growing prettier slower than expected".
About 37 percent of the market consisted of distressed sales, which include both foreclosures and sales
Yeah. "Recovery".
I expect home sales and home prices will continue to drop this year because of high unemployment and large inventory of distressed properties. But what do I know? I am not an expert.
I expected a dip, and there will be more dips until we get the dipsticks out of Washington.
The concept of an oversupply is beyond Keynesians.
And a majority of Freepers.
Some here still insist that those who accurately forecast the collapse of the housing bubble and its long term effects are practicing "voodoo."
Lawrence Yun makes a pretty good living and all he has to do is keep a straight face and repeat that things are getting better and beg for more juice.
There are lot of people from the new home industry who are out of work. This includes, sales people, construction managers, office workers AND especially management. These are people who've been in this industry their entire lives. And those over 50 can forget about changing career fields. It's a lot worse than people think. If Bush was still president the media would be telling us just how bad it really is.
And I'm talking about Houston, by the way. Where it's supposed to be rosy.
Lawrence Yun Watch - Follow the NAR's hack as he denies the housing bubble and crash
Repeat this story once a month for the next ten years.
These economic "experts" were never taught that the very act of either buying or selling is a social act based on an extremely large universe of decisions. A significant part of that universe is socially driven. Have you ever heard of; "Keeping up with the Jones', or "New and Improved" or watcher 1/3 of the nightly TV fare called advertisements?
What universe does this guy inhabit. Interest rates for qualified buyers have never been lower. Wait till the Fed stops printing money and then you'll see some tight credit.
My house has 'DIPPED" so much,all I will be able to afford is one of those $100.homes in Detroit.

USDA Helps Renovate a South Dakota Rural Housing Complex to Improve the Quality of Rural Life
Parkview Apartments, Inc. in Arlington, South Dakota, is a nonprofit organization that consists of nine buildings. The first building on this project was built in 1964 and the other buildings were later added in the 1970s. The project had seen an increase in vacancy rates prior to the renovation. Today, with USDA funded upgrades, they hope to increase the occupancy rate.
USDA Rural Development has partnered with South Dakota Housing Development Authority to fund rehab including reducing the number of units from 42 to 35, resulting in 14-one bedroom, 20-two bedroom, and one-three bedroom to better serve the needs of families in the area, along with roofing, siding, plumbing, electrical, flooring, windows, appliances, and handicap accessibility.

Here are some thoughts on fixing the TOC issue. In general, if Open Office can read it, other tools can use it. Once Open Office can generate the correct table of contents, we can probably convert cleanly. When I read your document with Open Office, the headers are all formatted correctly, but they
Try saving to .rtf, then reading the .rtf and generating a TOC. If you can do that, I can probably convert it cleanly for you from the .rtf (and it will probably fix any errors in the .doc).
Try saving to html, no matter how ugly that html is, and send me the results. I may be able to convert it to clean html using some tools I have.

Longtime Heel Wearer...First time Diba owner
"Wow...just WOW!! I have been searching for metallic heels that didn't look cheap and fit well and as I wasn't familiar with Diba, was worried about quality and fit. Thought I had found a pair in December at another website; beautiful shoe but too large and none smaller available (stuck with this larger shoe. :( ). So back to the shopping trenches I went...serves me right, daring to stray from my tried and true DSW. (I won't let it happen again; please forgive me...I knew not what I was doing; too much eggnog.)Just got these in the silver and my, oh, my are they LOVELY! They run totally true to size, both in width and length. They do not look cheap and the heel is such a classic, elegant shape. One of the nicest things about this shoe is that the upper is a metallic silver while the heel is an almost pearlized "soft" silver; totally unique finish and looks fabulous. Paired it with the Mix No. 6 metallic clutch handbag and it was a stunning winner with a deep fuchsia blouse.The height is sky high, which is a plus. They do not make you walk oddly, even with the height, as the heel is attached at just the perfect angle. However, there is zero padding in the footbed so a partial ball pad is needed; done and done! Wore to church and then while making Sunday lunch and then through cleaning and only on hour 6 did my feet start to get "tired". But, that isn't bad at all, IMO.The toe vamp is indeed vampy. Toe cleavage without being trashy, but looking oh, so, come hither. ;) No pinching of the toes, even though the toe box is pointed. And, the toe box is not exaggerated in length. Yea!How much do I love these? Well, just ordered them in gold and will be following up in their patent colors of the same shoe. Yep; they are a winner!! :)"

This is a simple tale involving a group of Egyptian musicians, the Alexandria Police Ceremonial Orchestra, who arrive in Israel for a concert. Things don't go well; there's no one to meet them at the airport, and they mistakenly end up in a small, drab desert town called Bet Hatikva, a place whose own residents refer to it as "bloody nowhere." But the people, especially café owner Dina, are friendly and welcoming, and when they urge the band members to stay overnight before heading to their proper destination the next day, strait-laced leader Tewfiq finally relents. What follows is a series of plain but lovely scenes, as the Egyptians and Israelis (speaking English, their common language) tentatively search for common ground.

There are no comments on the lead story, In Brooklyn, Bracing for Hurricane Barclays, because comments weren't enabled. Surely there would have been many, given the wide range of issues raised in the article--and, despite significant omissions, no small criticism.
More often than not, based on a look back to June, the Times has not enabled comments for the lead article in the Metropolitan section. So it wouldn't be fair to say they turned off comments regarding this story. But it still seems like a lost opportunity.
The Times's odd substitution
Also, following up on my critique of the Times's dramatic shift in content and tone regarding the Atlantic Yards opposition in the round-up article on the Barclays Center debut, Michael D.D. White adds, in his Noticing New York blog:
Maybe I should be flattered that, near the end of this section the Times chose to quote me. I was the one who said, "You can't negotiate with a monopolist!" It was not all I said. When Markowitz stopped for what he evidently intended to be a pro-arena photo-op and hobnob with the press I was among those who intervened and I shouted the following:For more, including further explication of his rationale, see his post.
I repeated these lines in rotation more than once. I think I know Borough President Markowitz well enough to know that if he thought he could have provided a credible response he would have tried one. Instead, he fled fast into the arena, flustered and apparently shaken.
- Take the monopoly away from Ratner!
- Take the mega-monopoly away from Ratner!
- You can't negotiate with a monopolist!

7 Common Headaches and Their Causes
Headaches can often be more than a pain, making it hard to concentrate on anything but the pounding, throbbing, or dull ache inside your head. What kind of headaches do you suffer from and what causes them?
We asked Dr. Elizabeth Loder, chief of the Division of Headache and Pain in the Department of Neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, to dissect seven common headache scenarios and their triggers. Next
Hangover headache
"The cause of these headaches is not entirely clear," Loder said. "The pain may come from inflammation or the effects of alcohol on blood vessels, but the specific cause is not very clear. Dehydration may also play a role in these headaches, while behaviors such as staying up later than usual or a lack of caffeine add to the circumstances triggering this headache." Next
Behind-the-eyeball headache
"If you have a mild headache behind both eyes, that's most likely to be tension-type headache or an 'everyday' headache, and it will usually respond well to over-the-counter medications," Loder said. "But if the headache is behind just one eye, and is more severe, it could be a migraine or cluster headache. Cluster headaches are a rare type of headache that is more common in men."
Cluster headaches, Loder said, are also characterized by redness or tearing of the eye on that size or a drooping of the eyelid on that side. In most cases of headache, location, Loder said, is not all that helpful in determining the cause of the headache. Many people who are susceptible to migraines will also report eye strain, bad lighting, or flicker from a computer as triggers for these headaches. Next
Brain Freeze
"Ice cream headaches are a recognized type of headache," Loder said. "We call it a cold-stimulus headache. They happen most commonly if someone rapidly ingests a large amount of something cold, and may be more likely to occur in people who have migraine headaches." Loder said these headaches, which luckily don't last terribly long, can be minimized or prevented by taking small bites of things that are cold and eating or drinking more slowly. Next
"Migraines are defined as headaches that are moderate to severe in intensity, often on one side of head, typically associated with other symptoms such as light sensitivity, nausea, or vomiting," Loder said. "One interesting thing to note is that a hallmark of migraine is that it is more likely to happen after a stressful event—we call it a let-down headache or weekend headache." Loder said this might happen because when a person is under stress their body produces cortisol to get through the event. As the cortisol wears off, the person becomes more vulnerable to an attack. "It's quite unfair really to get through a stressful project for work and then get hit with a migraine when you're about to go on vacation." Next
Overtired headache
"If a person is waking up at their normal time and then notices a headache, most of the time after investigation we find that's a migraine," Loder said. But cluster headaches can also occur in relation to sleep, though Loder said these headaches usually awaken someone from sleep, very commonly during the first cycle of rapid eye movement sleep. A cluster headache can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours and is very, very severe. The second type of headache that can wake a person from sleep, she said, is a hypnic headache. "Hypnic headaches usually occur in older people, are moderate in intensity, do not have associated symptoms, and can last a couple of hours." Next
Lack-of-caffeine headache
"These headaches often happen in the morning because overnight is when people go the longest time without caffeine—at least in the case of those who are really overdoing it," Loder said. "It's not a bad thing to try a cup of coffee to get rid of an occasional headache, if that works well for you, but if you have to do that very frequently (more than twice a week) you may want to seek additional advice or treatments." When used too frequently, caffeine can become a cause rather than a treatment of headaches. Next
Exercise-induced headache
"There is something called an exertional headache, which is a situation where exercise or other physical exertion can trigger a headache," Loder said. "High altitude, or exercising for quite a while may make these headaches more likely to occur." Some people who have migraine also find that physical exertion can trigger a migraine attack. One way to relieve pain might be to modify or switch the type of activity you're doing. Some people also benefit frmo taking an anti-inflammatory medication about an hour before physical activity. "Most people who occasionally have had this type of headache recognize they didn't warm up properly or had a particularly hard workout," said Loder. Back to the beginning
