5 Closet Setbacks—Solved
Discover how to create more space, organize effectively and more
Getting an organized closet is as simple as figuring out why it's a mess in the first place. We asked a personal organizer, closet designer and psychologist for solutions to your biggest problems–to help you clear the clutter once and for all.
Q: My closets are a mess. Where do I start?
The psychologist,Jerome Yoman, PhD, a clinical psychologist in Beaverton, Oregon, says: First, figure out what's getting in your way. Women typically have three reasons for not clearing clutter: time stress ("I have too many other things to do!"); feeling overwhelmed ("What do I do with everything?"); and negative associations ("Those jeans used to fit but I can't even look at them now").
If you're pressed for time, schedule one-hour organizing appointments into your calendar. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Make a plan for what you want the closet to look like and schedule in cleaning time. As for negative associations, pay attention to how you feel as you begin to clean. Are you anxious? Sad? This will help you identify what's going on. Then say to yourself, Yes, I am sad, but I can take a deep breath and separate my thoughts from what I need to do, which is clear out my closet and donate the jeans that don't fit.
The personal organizer, Marion Farina, owner of Beauty and Order in West Orange, New Jersey, says: Take everything out of your closet. Starting with the space entirely empty helps you clearly see the area you've got to work with as well as your belongings. If this is a clothes closet, then only clothing and accessories go in; if it's linens, then only linens. Sort by category, then color. Set aside duplicates.
Refill the closet, making sure to give each set of items its own, clearly delineated spacious area. No stuffing or squeezing. As for the remaining items, either donate them or find them a new home. Photo: Ron Chapple/Thinkstock
Q: My closets are overflowing. How do I create more space?
The psychologist says: Perhaps the problem is not your closet, but your shopping habits. The process of buying and acquiring is likely fulfilling another emotional need. From now on, every time you consider buying something, put the item down, walk to the next aisle and stand still for 60 seconds. Notice your bodily reaction and thoughts. For many people, just pausing for a minute will be enough for that urge to pass—and in that minute, you can find out what's happening emotionally that might be driving your acquiring. The key to solving the problem long-term? Not buying any items that you won't use consistently—think monthly, if not weekly. If you find that shopping brings up strong emotions, consider speaking to a therapist. For some, the entire scenario—accumulating, disorganization, not getting rid of things—can be a distraction from bigger issues such as loneliness.
The closet designer,Jason Beraka of Portland Closet Company in Portland, Oregon, says: Double-hang on smart hangers. Overflowing clothing closets are often a result of poor use of space; if you're short on space, hanging is the most efficient way to store things. Install two closet rods, one just above eye level. Hang a couple of long blouses on it to gauge how low to hang the second rod. (If you have very high ceilings, you may be able to fit in a third high rod for overflow storage, which you reach with a stepstool.) Narrow, flat velveteen hangers, like Joy Mangano Huggable Hangers ($20 for 34; Target.com), save you a third of the hanging space in your closet—they don't waste rod space.

Q: My husband and I share a closet and his stuff is everywhere. Help!
The psychologist says: Create a zone for each of you, and respect those areas. You're each in charge of your own. Rather than complaining ("You're such a slob!"), try supportive communication ("I've noticed that your summer shorts are taking up a lot of room—could we find a storage space to put them in, so it will be easier for you to see your stuff?"). Breathe.
The personal organizer says:
You only have control over your own space. Put on blinders, and try not to focus on your spouse's storage style. If he can find things, then the system is working for him.
The closet designer says: Consider banishment. Many husbands get moved to a second closet (or armoire). They get used to it. Photo: Pavel Konovalov/Thinkstock
Q: I have a bunch of stuff that I never wear or use, but I hold on to it anyway. How do I let it go?
The psychologist says: Grab three items from your closet that you haven't used in years, and sit down with them. Ask yourself: What does this item mean to me? The answer will tell you why you're holding on. Perhaps you think you'll need it in the future, or maybe it holds a special memory.
Then ask: Is it worth the space and effort? Remind yourself that if you have 50 items like this and you're spending your time either moving them around or being unable to access the things you do use, is it worth it? For most of us, the answer is no. If you're really having trouble letting go of the item, consider taking a digital picture of it before you get rid of it.
The personal organizer says: Empty your closet onto your bed, putting each item into one of the following five categories:
1. Love love love. "I wear this all the time." Keep.
2. Love love. "I wear this on special occasions." Keep.
3. Used to love. "I don't seem to wear this anymore." Consider letting go.
4. Like. "I feel OK in this, but I can't say I love it." Give away.
5. Eh. "I thought I liked this, but…I'd rather have closet space."
Make a donation pile of the 4s and 5s. Put the 1s and 2s back in your closet. You're now looking at a pile of 3s. Go to the closet and ask yourself how it feels to have room to slide hangers on the rod and see everything. Is that more valuable than the 3s? If so, donate them. If not, keep them. Photo: Olga Demchishina/Thinkstock
Q: I'm confused: Should I organize by color, season, style or type?
The personal organizer says: Season, then type, then color. After you've sorted your clothes, place the keepers on your bed in two big sections: spring/summer and fall/winter. Then:
• Within each season, sort by category (tank tops, short-sleeve T-shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, blouses, sweaters, skirts, tops, pants, formal wear, jackets, etc.). Keep suit pieces separate, so that you remember that you can coordinate jackets with skirts.
• Within categories, sort by color.
• Identify duplicates and donate the ones you like less.
Store clothes the way you wear them: shirts on top, pants and skirts on the bottom. This is true whether you're using rods or shelves—it creates a visual block, which makes it easy to put together outfits. Photo: Getty Images
Q: My weight fluctuates and I have jeans in four different sizes. Should I keep all of them?
The psychologist says: Donate what doesn't fit. The purpose of your closet is to provide for the current you—and you've got the past you blocking your way. Write down your goals for both your closet and your body, and the steps you need to accomplish them. You're more likely to reach your goals by breaking them into short-term goals and rewards ("If I walk two miles today, I can go for a manicure"). Hang one outfit in a small size in the corner as a benchmark, to remind you of your goal.
The personal organizer says: Look at the reality of what's happening. Place items that fit right now in your main closet. If you're currently gaining or losing weight, or you're planning to have a child soon, hold on to the sizes that you realistically will wear in the next 24 months. But don't keep them in your main closet—only items that you use consistently (say, once a month or more) get prime space. The rest go in overflow closets or storage bins, grouped by size. If you've recently lost or gained weight, donate everything that no longer fits. The key is to stay aware of the current reality of both your body and your closet.

"The science behind this is clear: Warmer temperatures cause more water to evaporate into the atmosphere, and warmer air holds more water than cooler air. The air's "water-holding capacity," in fact, rises about 7 percent with each Celsius degree of warming. This results in air that becomes super-saturated with water, often bringing drenching rainfall followed by flooding or – if it is cold enough – heavy and intense snowfall. "

(*NOTE: This tutorial was created using Photoshop CS4. The steps should be virtually identical in CS2 and CS3. I'm pretty sure they are at least similar to earlier vesions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, but I'm not positive.)
**Edited to say: One of my CT members who uses Photoshop Elements 5 sent me alternative instructions for PSE. You can find them at the bottom of this tutorial.**
So, let's start with getting a closer look at our original photo. (*shudder*... it just makes me cringe. hahaha.)
2.) Now choose Selective Color... from the list of options.
Below is what your screen should look like now (or at least similar to this). Your Selective Color dialogue box will pop up. The Colors field will be defaulted to Reds. If you refer to your Layers Palette, you will see that a new layer has been created. It will have the little Selective Color icon on the left, as well as a white square to the right of that. The Selective Color icon is there so that you may go back later and edit your colors further if needed by double-clicking on the icon. The white square is your Layer Mask, which allows you to personalize your color changes to a specific area of your photo. (We will talk more about your Layer Mask shortly.)
4.) Now, starting with your Selective Color dialogue box. Click on the Colors drop-down menu and choose the color that seems to be out of place in your photo. In this case, the water seemed more "aqua" than it did "primary green", so I started there. I chose Cyan.
It will give you an option of "Relative" or "Absolute". In this case, with a photograph, I chose Relative. This will take all surrounding colors that are similar to the one you chose and evenly alter them as well. This creates a beautiful blend so that it doesn't appear fake. The Absolute feature will only alter the hues of the exact color you chose. In photographs like this, that will simply appear blotchy, but it would be great for graphics.
5.) Within each color from the drop down box, you will have 4 different hue options to alter.
- Cyan
- Magenta
- Yellow
- Black
Simply slide the levers back and forth on each hue to begin working toward a color that works better. Obviously, since blue + yellow make green, the first thing I did was rush to the yellow and drop it way down. I also boosted the Magenta way up to take the "warmness" out of the offending color, and I altered the Cyan and the Black sort of blindly until I liked it.
As you can see, just that one step made a DRASTIC difference in this photo. (I forgot to add this on the screen shot, but to get rid of your Selective Color dialogue box, simply press the bold double-arrow icon at the top right corner of the box. This doesn't close the window, it simply hides it.)
Anyway... so the water looks better. But... if any of you are like me when it comes to photo editing, (and I *know* some of you are!!) I get totally obsessive about it. So I took a few more steps to make some subtle differences that (to me) just make it all better. :)
6.) After altering the Cyan in my photo, the areas that are more green really stand out to me. So I altered the green as well. You can go about this a couple of ways:
- You can simply pull the Colors drop down menu again and choose Green and begin altering it. This would keep all of your color alterations together in one handy layer. And actually, at first... that's what I did.
- However, I found (as you will see further on down in the tutorial), that there may be colors that you need to alter in only *specific* areas of your photo as opposed to the entire photo. For instance, you may want to tone down a vibrant red colored slide at a park, yet keep the vibrant red in the pretty bow in your daughter's hair. (This is where your layer mask will come in.) But for now, instead of altering all of my colors in one layer, I named that layer "Cyan" and then added a 2nd adjustment layer and named that layer "Green".
Then just as before, I slid the levers back and forth until the green appeared less noticable.
Now... because the reflection of the water on his skin (in real life) was reflecting the "aqua green" water, the splashes that are coming up around his face were much more of a yellowish-green. So the yellow "hues" that I altered within the Cyan and Green "colors" did not change this. I had to actually go into the main Yellow Color and adjust those hues to make the refllection on his face match the new blue of the water.
So, I repeated Step #6 and added a new Selective Color adjustment layer, renamed it to show the color I was now altering, and then slid the levers as needed.
Now... in doing so, it totally took out that yellowish tinge from his face and it looks great. But it also did one other thing... it took all of the yellowish warm tones out of ALL of his skin. Now, he looks all pinkish and weird. I didn't want him to look like someone had just rubbed him down with sandpaper. So THIS is where your layer "mask" comes into play. (This is also why I named each layer according to color.)
7.) Refer to your layers palette and actually click *on* your Layer Mask (the white square) within the layer. **NOTE: Since we are working with an Adjustment Layer, the mask on this layer will only hide/reveal the adjustment that layer is making. In other words... my layer mask adjusted the yellow tones in the photo. Therefore, what I'm hiding and revealing in this layer mask is the adjusted color, not the photo itself. Make sense?
9.) Now that your layer mask is black, choose your Brush Tool from your tools palette and then change your foreground color to white.
10.) Now choose a small round brush and set the hardness to around 50%. Then run the brush over the area that you want the adjusted color to be visible. (If you refer to your layers palette, you will be able to see on your layer mask the white that you are "painting" on.)
11.) Once I am satisfied with my image, I choose all of my layers, then right-click and merge them together. (You can certainly save a layered copy if you need to.)
12.) The last step I took on this photo was to brighten it up and define it a bit with one of my most common used actions in the whole wide world... Pioneer Woman's Boost action. I use it on some level in almost all of my photos. (and it's FREE!!)
Alternative Instructions for PSE:
Then click OK
Then click where it says Master at the top and change it to any other color doesn't matter. Once you change the color you will be able to use the droppers at the bottom. Click on the first dropper and click on whatever color you want to change. Then just start playing with the sliders.
Masking works the same as in your tutorial.
I would love to know what you think of this tutorial. I hope it was helpful. As always, please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Virgin Blue To Review Fares Rather Than Impose Further Across-the-Board Fuel Surcharges20/10/2004
Virgin Blue today announced that it is reviewing fares throughout its entire network, in light of continuing oil price increases, in an effort to avoid imposing a further across-the-board surcharge.
Oil prices continue to climb to record high levels, with jet fuel now over US$60 per barrel, up from around US$33 per barrel just 12 months ago. There has been a fundamental shift in global economic conditions affecting fuel and Virgin Blue believes the market will continue to see sustained high oil prices in the medium term.
In recent weeks, Virgin Blue has carefully considered all options, including the possibility of imposing a further fuel surcharge in line with other airlines around the world.
Brett Godfrey, Virgin Blue's CEO said: "While this shift in world fuel prices has impacted our cost base, we continue to be committed to offering low fares and driving growth in new and existing markets. As such, we believe any cost recovery benefit we would gain from imposing a further fuel surcharge in certain markets would be offset by a decrease in demand."
"Virgin Blue believes a combination of the existing fuel surcharges and a fare review will be a better solution to mitigate the impact of the substantial increase in fuel costs," Mr. Godfrey continued. "Virgin Blue has therefore decided to review its fares across the entire network, and this route by route analysis will help minimize the impact on our key demand sensitive routes."
The fare review is already underway and will continue over the next few weeks. It will take into account a variety of factors including customer price sensitivity, load factors and fuel consumption per route.
The existing fuel surcharge of $10 per sector for Virgin Blue flights and $20 per sector for Pacific Blue flights will continue to apply.
Mr. Godfrey said: "Virgin Blue's entry into the Australian domestic market has resulted in a substantial decrease in ticket prices in real terms over the last four years, and that continues today. We remain committed to keeping airfares as low as possible. While Virgin Blue sees no indication of an immediate downturn in oil prices, we reaffirm our promise to review any increases and charges and, as clearly demonstrated in the past, we will immediately remove them if fuel prices return to previous levels."

10 a.m.–Asheville City Market
Come to this producers-only market with reusable bag in hand and buy veggies straight from the source. In its fourth year and located downtown in the Public Works Building parking lot, the vending farmers typically come from within 60 miles. asapconnections.org
Noon–Tupelo Honey Cafe
This downtown insitution partners with more than 25 local farms. Roll up your sleeves for Not Your Mama's Meatloaf topped with a rosemary, tomato, and shallot gravy. The beef comes from Hickory Nut Gap Farm (20 minutes southeast). tupelohoneycafe.com
1:30 p.m.–River Arts District
Around 150 artists from nearly every medium occupy 20 or so buildings along the French Broad River. "Buying from the artists after watching them work is a fuller experience," says Curve Studios & Garden's Pattiy Torno. The district also boasts restaurants and a theater. riverartsdistrict.com
3 p.m.–Brews Cruise
The upside of the brewery walking tour, versus the mobile tour, is you visit more sites–four rather than three–and stay downtown. The downside: The stumble to the last one is a doozy (Just keep it in mind, as you go.) During the excursions you'll sample concoctions and speak to their creators. ashevillebrewscruise.com
7 p.m.–The Admiral
This trendy West Asheville eatery is funky, but the menu is as sophisticated as an officer's dress blues. Start with a Dark and Stormy cocktail with homemade ginger ale, rum, and blackstrap molasses. Then try the Columbia River sturgeon, served with sweet breads, squash, and Brussels sprouts. After, the dining room morphs into a dance party. theadmiralnc.com

A commemoration program in honor of the late Montell Seely will be held on Aug. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Castle Valley pageant site. There will be music and entertainment and memories of Montell. Montell was instrumental in the founding of the Castle Valley pageant and its first production was in 1978. Everyone is welcome to attend the commemoration program to honor Montell. The following are two reprints from the Emery County Progress archives which detail Montell and his family on a pioneer trek and then the article written following his death on Aug. 12, 2008.
Many Emery County residents watch the Castle Valley Pageant each year and attribute its success to Montell, but few realize Montell's complete dedication to preserve his ancestry.
Since 1977, Montell and his family have participated in 35 handcart treks, have obtained seven pioneer cabins and collected countless antiques, all in the name of preserving heritage.
"It is all intermingled in preserving things that our pioneer ancestors built," Montell said. "It is a way to show them our love and respect because I want to save what they had. I can't think of any other way to express that."
Montell organized his first trek in 1977 to commemorate 100 years since his ancestors had crossed the mountain and settled in Castle Valley. The excursion began in Fairview Canyon and continued across the mountain through Upper Joe's Valley and down Cottonwood Canyon.
"This trek was the beginning of modern day handcart activity in the church," Montell said.
Throughout the many treks, the Seely family has experienced "real pioneer experiences," Kathryn Seely said.
On one of their major treks they recreated the journey of their ancestors who were a part of the San Juan Mission at Hole in the Rock. They went through 250 miles of desert from Hole in the Rock to Lake Powell across the Red Sandstone Desert to Bluff.
During the re-creation, the axle of their handcart broke while they were in a place where the support team, people in trucks in case of emergency, was unable to easily assist them. Mark Seely, Montell's son found a cedar tree, cut it down with his pocket knife and shaved it to fit in the hub of the wheels and used prickly pear cactus pulp to grease the wheels.
Just as they finished repairing the axle, rain clouds started forming around them. They got in their sleeping bags and waited out the stormy night. When they woke up and continued their journey, they realized the had run out of water.
The Seely's found slick rock pot holes that had filled up with fresh rain water and used that water to fill their canteens, despite the presence of water skeeters.
"We figured if the bugs weren't dead, then the water wasn't poisonous," Montell said.
This trek literally gave the Seely's a real taste of pioneer life.
"It was a 16 day journey and that was the best pioneer experience we had," said Montell. "It was real. It wasn't us pretending to play pioneer."
Montell's main act of devotion was writing and producing the Castle Valley Pageant. After asking others to write a pageant and being turned down for justifiable reasons, Montell was faced with two options: write a pageant himself or see his dreams diminish.
"I am a farmer, not a writer," said Montell. "But, I didn't want my dreams to die."
Montell wrote the pageant by compiling pioneer stories and rewriting them using dialogue. Since the first year of the Castle Valley Pageant in 1978, the pageant audience has grown from 500 in its first season to more than 20,000.
"In the beginning we had a lot of perseverance," Kathryn said. "It has been very gratifying that so many people caught the vision." The Seely's want their works in preserving their ancestor's heritage to help other generations grow close to the pioneers.
"We are hopeful that what we have started will go on from generation to generation so that our pioneer heritage will not be forgotten," Montell said. "We also hope that our children and grandchildren will develop in the bosom a love, so that our pioneer heritage will not be forgotten."
Emery County lost one of its greatest pioneers on Aug. 12. Montell Seely died in an accident involving a hand cart and a truck where he was hit and killed with 13 year old Hannah Wagstaff of Tropic.
The family was involved in a hand cart trek from Fairview where they were to continue up Fairview Canyon to the Miller's Flat Reservoir turnoff and across Scad Valley to Upper Joe's Valley. They were to go down Cottonwood Canyon and then enter SR-29 and continue down the canyon to the Seely family farm. But, these plans were cut tragically short as the trek just began on the morning of Aug. 12.
Montell was a friend to all. He never met a stranger or someone he didn't like. He was always ready with a quick smile and a laugh. The sparkle in his blue eyes was always there. Montell had a zest for life. He carried the pioneer spirit to a new degree. His home is like a log cabin from years gone by. He worked hard to keep alive the memory of ancestors and those long since passed on. It was important to Montell to preserve their memory and do it with gusto. Montell and family over the years have been involved with several pioneer treks. They traveled the Mormon Handcart Trail from Nebraska to Utah one year.
Montell was a story teller though he never envisioned himself as such, but he loved to tell the stories of the past and also his own story along with his family stories. Montell was a family man. He had a great love for his wife Kathryn and their children and grandchildren. Montell lived the golden rule each day. He was always picking up hitchhikers and helping those broken down along the side of the road and meeting friends from all around the country. When Ken and Sarita Sah of Green River were being deported to India, Montell stepped up to try to help them to stay in America. He even considered adopting them, but at the time nothing worked out and the Sah's were deported which broke Montell's heart.
Montell was the driving force in the beginning and continuation of the Castle Valley Pageant which just completed its 31st season on Aug. 9. Montell had the idea for a pageant in the back of his mind since he was a missionary in the Central Atlantic States, he was assigned to labor on the Cherokee Indian Reservation in North Carolina. The Cherokee Indians produced a pageant to tell their story of how the army rounded up the Cherokee Indians and marched them all the way to Oklahoma. This tale of their journey became known as the "Trail of Tears."
Montell as a young missionary had the opportunity to see this pageant and it made an impression on him. He had long thought Emery County needed a pageant and wished someone would put one together. He never thought that someone was him, he wasn't the pageant writing type, "I'm just a farmer; not a writer," said Montell.
The Castle Valley Pageant has been an annual tradition in Emery County dating back to 1978. Montell was the man with a vision when it came to the pageant. He wrote the story to depict the early settlers to Emery County who came from the Sanpete Valley. The settlers were instructed to settle the Castle Valley by Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was the last order or directive he gave before passing away. Montell had a passion for bringing the stories of the pioneers to life. He wanted to make their stories very real for the generations of today and those people yet to come. Part of preserving this story has been the presentation of the Castle Valley Pageant each year. The pageant grew from a two night production to eight nights.
The pageant has taken on a life of its own and for the 25th anniversary of the pageant, Montell and his wife Kathryn and other family members prepared a book of the history of the pageant along with stories from those who have been actively involved in the pageant over the years. Many actors have come and gone, but there are some who have been involved in the pageant for the past 31 years never missing a beat. Montell and his wife Kathryn and their family have been there since the beginning.
In 1977 the LDS church initiated what they called the Activities Committee. Carol Driggs was called to be the Cultural Arts Specialist. She asked Montell who was a first counselor in the Bishopric at the time, exactly what her job was to be. Montell said to her, "What this area needs is a pageant that will tell the story of the colonization of Castle Valley. One that will pay honor to the stalwart pioneers who settled this valley." Driggs answered, "If someone will write the script, I will certainly try to direct it."
After several attempts to get local writers involved, it came down to Montell writing the script or watching his idea fade away. So he along with Kathryn began the chore of writing the pageant. Montell didn't see himself as a writer and it was a time consuming, laborious process. Creating dialogue for the characters and interaction between the characters took a lot of time. The key for Montell was using real stories for the script, things that happened to the people along their way into the Castle Valley; a baby being born along the way, a baby dying along the way, a reluctant wife; all became story lines for the script.
The story of Wink and Anna in the pageant is based on Montell's grandparents dilemma of whether to come to the Castle Valley, before or after their baby was born. In those days, if you were absent from a homestead for more than six months, you would forfeit your claim to the land and a squatter could take over. In the end, the trip is made with a midwife in tow and the baby is born along the way.
The story of Joe and Tilda was based on real settlers named Joseph and Matilda Curtis Boulden. Their baby passed away above Upper Joe's valley and was brought on into Castle Valley to be buried.
Montell based the story of the reluctant wife on two couples he knew where the husband was willing to come to Castle Valley, but the wife didn't want to leave the comforts of the Sanpete Valley which was already settled. Niels Peter Miller and his wife Ellen were one of these couples. Miller made his wife a dugout which was a cut above many at the time. Upon their arrival in the valley, Ellen said, "Has it now come to this that I have to live underground? This line is in the pageant script. Many of the reluctant wives came to love the Castle Valley, but some never did. Grandma Montell upon arriving in Emery County tells how that was the first time she ever swore, uttering, "Damn a man who would bring a woman to such a God-forsaken spot."
Montell felt the pageant showed the pioneer spirit of women, not afraid to speak their minds and filled with emotion.
Montell always felt he was directed by Heavenly Father when he came upon the pageant site. It needed to be outdoors and have a theatre feel to it. He searched high and low, discarding several sites, when on a trip up the church mine road to Des-Bee-Dove. He found the spot. He got out of his pickup and walked up a hill, trudged through some cedars and there it was, laid out just as he imagined. He thought, 'This is the right place.' His soul was filled with joy as he scanned the site and knew it had been prepared for this purpose of bringing the story of the Castle Valley pioneers to life.
The site came to life with the pouring of a concrete pad for the stage and benches for seating. Everything came together and the first production was held Aug. 11 and 12, 1978.
You can't talk about Montell Seely without expressing his love for the Castle Valley Pageant. It would be his dream and vision for the pageant to continue on now without his earthly presence. Montell will continue to be an influence in Emery County long beyond his 74 years upon the earth. His story will be told along with those of the pioneers who settled the Castle Valley. His memory will remain bright in the years to come. Emery County is better because of the chance to know Montell Seely. Well done, thou stalwart pioneer. May your handcart be welcomed at St. Peters gates.
For more information about the program call 687-2403 or 820-4187.
This story will continue and conclude in the Aug. 2 issue of the Emery County Progress.

Trade deadline 2013 - What the Leafs should buy
Cam Charron
March 28 2013 01:32PM
I can assure you that teams that aren't the Pittsburgh Penguins are still allowed to make deals. The problem, as several people have noted, is that there's such a small gap between buyers and sellers this season and few clear impact players who are available.
This is a side-effect of those long-term deals signed by star players. There is simply less legitimate talent available at deadline time. It doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, since teams are now far less likely to overpay for a rental player given roster turnarounds and an added focus on players under the age of 26.
The biggest deal made at the deadline last season involved Jack Johnson and Jeff Carter, two players on long-term deals, with the second most-talked about being Cody Hodgson for Zack Kassian, two NHL prospects. Deadline time to me isn't the task of stocking up on rental players determined to make a run for a big payday, but the last chance you have to tweak the current roster after a long season of assessing the positives and negatives of the group.
So we'll go ahead and do that today, and see if there are some available names at the positions the Leafs could use an addition.
The Leafs are sixth in the NHL in goal-scoring, and even without Joffrey Lupul and Matt Frattin for long stretches of the season, the Leafs were able to keep scoring by committee. The Leafs have two players in the top 20 in the league in scoring: Nazem Kadri with 35 points and Phil Kessel with 32, while Kadri and James van Riemsdyk are tied for 14th in the league with 14 goals.
Toronto have 10 guys with 5 or more goals, which is a pretty remarkable pace, although it does have to be noted that there are also some elevated shooting percentages there as well. Frattin, van Riemsdyk, Jay McClement and Joffrey Lupul are all posting career-best shooting rates. Overall, the Leafs are 22nd in the NHL in shots on goal per 60 minutes of five-on-five, which looks less good.
Mainly, while the team has a few good shooters, a reason why the Leafs don't take many shots is because the Bozak lines and the line centred by Mikhail Grabovski have spent far too much time in their own end this season than a good hockey team should reasonably get away with. I don't think that's a personnel issue, and I think that Grabovski's current role, as a limited minutes defensive player, and Bozak's, as a top-line centreman, are mixed up right now. Grabovski is down to 16:30 a game this season and barely sees time on the powerplay. His low point totals are almost exclusively due to not getting assists, as he is third on the team in 5-on-5 goal scoring rate behind van Riemsdyk and, er, Frazer McLaren.
Historically, the major issue for the Leafs up front was that of the first line centre, but with the evolution of Nazem Kadri, I don't think this is an organizational need anymore. Giving more minutes to either him or Grabovski and you may alleviate some of the issues with the Leafs first line. I find it interesting that Randy Carlyle has done virtually everything to his forward unit but split up Kessel from Bozak, but here we are.
So the need becomes less of a "first line centre" and becomes "second or third line centre" which may be easier to purchase. Outside of the draft, there's no easy way to get a top centreman on the team, so the team has to hedge its bets with a good player having an otherwise poor season or not being used properly by a competing organization. If there's a market for Paul Stastny, he'd be a player to look at, or Alexander Burmistrov in Winnipeg. Both are historically good players with underwhelming boxcar numbers this season.
That's not to say you can't buy a winger if necessary. I'm interested in names like Magnus Paajarvi or Ales Hemsky possibly being available out of Edmonton. Both are strong two-way guys and outside of Kessel, there isn't a whole lot of pure skill on the wings in Toronto. van Riemsdyk, Lupul and Frattin all find success going to the net, Kulemin and MacArthur's games are more suited towards physical play.
We don't know which players are available, but I think the Leafs need is in that 2C or 3C position, but if there's a skilled winger available the Leafs really ought to be in talks.
Incredibly, Mark Fraser is still third in the NHL in individual PDO, behind just Kadri and Sheldon Souray. That third pairing with him and Cody Franson, after a real good start to the season, have begun to show a little wear playing against opponents who are on the first two lines. Over the last couple of weeks, those two have found themselves on the wrong end of scoring chance battles and frequently the only pairing the Leafs have that doesn't generate a scoring chance for.
While Fraser still leads the team on defence in +/-, using that as a reason for why the Leafs don't have to upgrade him is problematic. Our feeling coming into this season is that the Leafs had one pretty good pairing in Dion Phaneuf and Carl Gunnarsson, and after that they had a lot of fives and sixes. I haven't seen enough this season to change that view although I've been impressed with Cody Franson's play both with Fraser and without and, as a right shot, he's a surprisingly rare commodity in this league.
Phaneuf has struggled away from a healthy Carl Gunnarsson and a pairing that was able to take on the toughs and keep even possession battles last season has found itself increasingly on the wrong end of the shot clock and scoring chance counts. Phaneuf and a banged-up Gunnarsson have been doing better than Phaneuf and an AHLer like Mike Kostka or Korbinian Holzer, but there's still the indication that the Leafs might be better off with another top defenceman to take some of the heat off of the top pairing. As we've seen with the Grabovski line, too much overuse in defensive situations can absolutely kill a guy. Another top pairing guy could allow Phaneuf and Gunnarsson to stay together, and possibly pair with Franson to take on similar levels of competition so Randy Carlyle isn't forced to run a single five-man unit out against scoring lines all the time.
The Leafs have the cap space and Jay Bouwmeester is a guy Calgary may want to get rid of. He could be cheap considering the Flames would be happy to get anything for him at this stage of their rebuild. He's not at all worth the money, but as we've seen with players like Sheldon Souray and Wade Redden, just because players are not on team-friendly deals does not mean that they aren't useful. Bouwmeester realistically is a better player than you could get another season out of and he'd be worth looking at unless the Leafs are committed to overspend during the free agent period.
The pool of veteran defencemen who may be available is admittedly pretty thin. Keith Yandle is a good left shot who makes $5.25-million over the next three seasons with a team that may not have the money to pay two franchise defencemen.
This is not an issue. We didn't think it would be an issue going into the season, with one of the AHL's best goaltenders over the last two seasons splitting time with one of the NHL's best even strength goaltenders over the last two seasons. The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to find ways to outscore the opposition despite being outshot most nights. Any thought that Ryan Miller, Miikka Kiprusoff or Roberto Luongo could come in and provide a sizeable upgrade worth the price over James Reimer and Ben Scrivens must immediately be quelled.
Maybe this is something to look at when prices come down, but historically, paying for a goaltender hasn't been a really effective move.
We don't know who's available or who gets moved. The Jeff Carter and Mike Richards moves that ultimately altered the fate of the Philadelphia and Los Angeles franchises were hardly rumoured or discussed. Sometimes useful players aren't traded in a way that involves a lot of lead-up to the deal.
My argument is that should the Leafs improve for this season, it's at 2C, 2W and 2D. I think they have a number of "top guys" in place who need a more effective supporting cast to live up to their potentials.
There is a hockey team here. There's a skeleton and guts, but no muscles or joints. The heavy-lifting players are getting out-matched and two forwards consistently see fewer than five minutes a night. As we've argued, the team needs players to push others down the lineup. A few interesting names may be available, and ultimately you want to look at players mis-cast by their own organization to fill the holes on the Leafs currently occupied by guys mis-cast in theirs.
March 28 2013, 01:52PM
Mikael Backlund - positive corsi player against good compeition. 0.5 PPG, only 24. Get him and J-Bo or Mark Giordano. Slot him at 3C.
March 28 2013, 02:39PM
@Cam Charron
I don't think the team views him as a centerpiece going forward (you'd think they'd give him a bigger role if they did) and he would justify giving up some additional assets (prospects/picks) that the Flames may have interest in (ie Colborne)
March 30 2013, 07:14AM
It is obvious that getting an experienced Dman who is rugged, defensively reliable, decent skater and can log 20 minutes is a priority. Bouwmeester is a perfect fit except I fear the price is just too steep for a guy with 1 year left. A guy like Zybnek Michalek could be a much more logical target. He is 2nd pairing guy who faces top opposition, has term left at digestible number, and would fit as a potential perfect partner for Gardiner/Rielly in the future. Don Maloney loves his guy so he might not become available though.

Great job on fixing these podcasts, they all work fine for me now. Thanks.
March 25 2012, 01:29PM
Are we going to see the podcast on iTunes?
Oilers have been playing spoiler since December. Not something to really be proud of.....
Hey, I'm having some trouble playing the clips in Google Chrome... says its playing but there's no sound! Works fine in other browsers but I was just wondering if anyone might have solved this problem in the past, thanks

There is a trend in the denim industry, and we're not talking about the next skinny jean. On May 10, denim executives from around the world came together for the first WWD Denim Forum. A key topic which resonated with attendees was about the move towards social responsibility and green technology. "I was pleased to see that so many of the speakers shared future goals and visions for the industry, such as a larger social and environmental responsibility," says Nicks Ericsson, director of marketing for William Rast/J Lindeberg. View speaker highlights from the forum below.
François Girbaud (left) with WWD Editor in Chief Ed Nardoza.
Tony Chu, vice president of communications at Hudson Jeans thought there were "a very compelling group of speakers in diverse segments of the denim business." Furthermore, he echoed the sentiments of many in attendance. "To support and participate in a denim summit, the first of its kind in our 'backyard' of Los Angeles, was a no brainer." According to WWD News Correspondent Khanh T.L. Tran, the WWD Denim Forum, which drew "the cream of the crop," is expected to return in 2012. To watch more videos from the conference, go to Fora.TV.

Jinna of Grease and Glamour, New York-based fashion blog (which made it to the finals in the Sunglass Hut Full Time Fabulous blogger competition), shows us one of her favorite denim-on-denim looks. Here's what she had to say about it:
"Lately I'm obsessed with understatement. Casual and comfy pieces paired with a killer pair of heels gives off the 'I-didn't-try-but-still-look-amazing" vibe. The harem-esque drawstring H&M jeans gave the look a boyish feel, but the low-cut tank and Y-3 heels add some fierce feminine flair. The oversize J. Lindberg denim shirt added a totally different texture thanks to the acid-wash detail, and the polo beanie topped the look off with a bit of mechanic zest."
A self-proclaimed style chameleon, she'll rock Miu Miu's and a Goyard bag one day, and an entire thrifted wardrobe the next. See the full look and more of her looks on Jinna's blog, Grease and Glamour.

Utilizing an alternative medium to debut his new BLK DNM collection, famed Swedish fashion designer Johan Lindeberg (of J. Lindeberg) has produced a short film to captivate his fashion audience. You may recall Lindeberg also made headlines several years back with his ad campaigns featuring the likes of Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode and actress Juliette Lewis. Directed by Danish filmmaker Martin De Thurah, "Short Film 1" presents the BLK DNM collection in a mesmerizing and surreal cinematic package, complete with a soundtrack and enough emotion to bring a sort of Street Style realism (not cinema verit?) which is in conflict with fantasy-ridden runway shows walked by models in restrained emotion. Showcased are BLK DNM's edgy, downtown cool that sparks a bit of elegant rebellion: zippered leather jackets, square-shouldered blazers and high-rise stretch jeans for women. Lots of leather jacket options, trousers and a straight leg and slim fit jean for men. Also look for denim shirts.
Watch BLK DNM's short film at NOWNESS. Get semi-instant gratification: you can shop BLK DNM now!

Boy am I glad I didn't blow all my dough at the recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness. The folks from The Warehouse Sale are back in town, and they're bringing us William Rast and J. Lindeberg. I sort of thought it was a weird pairing, but, I guess that's the point. They want everyone to come and experience wall-to-wall denim. In case you didn't already know, William Rast is co-founded by Justin Timberlake and his childhood friend Trace Ayala. The jeans fit generously, so you may want to size down for the best fit. J. Lindeberg is the Swedish sensation, worn by celebrities such as Juliette Lewis and Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode. Based on experience, the J. Lindeberg fit is slim. Whatever the case may be, bring several sizes and try on before you buy, because you can't really return the jeans.

Who spends Saturday morning rifling through their mountainous stacks of junk mail? Well, I did, and I was glad to discover my Loehmann's mailer, hidden between gift basket catalogs and supermarket circulars. Loehmann's is already getting a jumpstart on Black Friday, but the deal to look for is the Buy One, Get The Second At 50% Off on all denim on Black Friday and Saturday. Also, the first 400 customers who pick up the in-store coupon on Friday and Saturday, will save $25 off when you spend $50 or more. Check for participating stores. Tip: get on the free Insider Club mailing list ASAP. If your birthday falls within this week, you can save an additional 15% off. In past sales, I've seen Loehmann's carry an assortment of premium denim such as 7 for All Mankind, Buffalo, J Brand, J Lindeberg, Paige Premium, Paper Denim & Cloth, Rock & Republic, True Religion, and many others. Do the Loehmann's!

We at Denim Therapy love how the Swedes do it in fashion, and when Swedish fashion labels like Acne, Cheap Monday, Filippa K, J Lindeberg, Nudie Jeans and more, come together in the form of a pop-up shop, all hell breaks loose. Well, that, of course, is an exaggeration, but someone here in Los Angeles (me) is already fueling up her car for a jaunt over to Revolve, the center of this Scandinavian buffet feast of fashion (yup, I won't use that word you're thinking). Please note: the Shop features fall merch, and not a "sale," per se. Already in progress, the Swede Life at Revolve will last for one week only (November 12 – 19), so move it or lose it!

From WWD ISSUE 08/27/2009
After a period of immaculately clean superskinny fits dominating the jeanswear market, the big news for spring is the straight-leg distressed look ??" coupled with extreme ripped denim, soft whiskering and splattered paint-aged effects. Here, five denim trends gaining momentum for the upcoming season.
From WWD ISSUE 08/27/2009
LOS ANGELES ??" Premium denim brand Citizens of Humanity is giving a twist to T-shirts through a collaboration with artist Will Lemon.
The Huntington Park, Calif.-based company is sprucing up tanks, short-sleeve Ts, tunics and three other women??™s spring styles with Lemon??™s technique of blending screen-printing with hand-painting. A tank top pops in a blue snakeskin print mottled with what resembles neon oil spills, a gray scoop-neck T-shirt is enlivened with a bold splash of azure and ruby raindrops fall all over a yellow tank dress. All will retail for approximately $135.
???I envisioned an outdoor scene and I first saw a snake sunbathing in a field of tall, verdant grass,??? said Lemon, whose previous fashion collaborations were with Marc Jacobs and MAC. ???I also imagined a small stream with a slight waterfall nearby and these first three images that were there in my mind became the metaphors for the prints that eventually ended up on the T-shirts.???
Cut from a soft, light cotton knit, the pieces are also washed and dyed by hand at Citizens of Humanity??™s laundry.
???The collaboration with Will is a highlight of the special things that we can do,??? said Adriano Goldschmied, executive vice president of design at Citizens of Humanity, which also owns his denim brand GoldSign. ???We own already a lot of technology and know-how that we can apply to our T-shirt. We own our own dye house and laundry. Our goal is to make something different.???
Choosing to collaborate with Lemon helps Citizens of Humanity differentiate itself from competitors in a challenging economy as it seeks to expand its jeans business with complementary categories such as T-shirts. Goldschmied said the company is also considering applying Lemon??™s screen-painting technique to jeans and men??™s T-shirts.

Every year, I try to get something different for my dad on Father's Day. However, I always end up getting the same things for him for two main reasons: to update my retiree dad's conservative wardrobe a bit, and force him out of his stuffy trousers and button downs. And by that, I mean making sure his lily-white legs will see the light of day a few times each summer through a pair of age-appropriate shorts and summery polo shirts.
This year, I really want my male parental unit to get a cool, suburban dad look. He may be retired, but he's not slowing down anytime soon. Sure he wears jeans on days he wants to be more casual. Unfortunately, he wears the male version of the mom jeans — vintage, faded, unflatteringly cut to emphasis the wrong assets.
Maybe my dad is the boring dad, who may tastefully break out of his static business attire cocoon on his own, after all these years. In the meantime, I will give him a little nudge here and there, so that he can run with the best of the daddys out there — in style — this summer.

Arriving Wednesday, March 25, Loehmann's will kick off its storewide denim sale. It's not just denim. It's premium denim at Loehmann's prices. Both men's and women's jeans will be on sale, so don't feel left out. With their "buy more, save more" deal, expect to save up to 25% off Loehmann's already discounted price when you buy 3 or more jeans.
As a past customer of Loehmann's premium denim sales, I can attest that they will not disappoint you with their selection. I remember seeing Buffalo Jeans, Citizens of Humanity, J Brand, J Lindeberg, Joe's Jeans, Girbaud, Paige Premium Denim, Rock & Republic, and many other top brands on sale for under $100 a pair. Imagine snagging yourself a pair of J Brands for about $25! That was how good it was. Tip: check out more than one Loehmann's store, if you are able, as selection will vary by store. This should be a Recessionista's denim paradise.
Visit LOEHMANN'S online for more details.

I'm not sure specifically about open source. Like a github but specific to robots (or hardware/electronics) ? Would be nice to get diff tools that work on the various files.
I think the OSHW community probably needs more support in the version control arena.

Current Products
The Chevrolet Equinox is one of the industry's most popular small crossovers, with sales up 14 percent in the first quarter of 2013 – building on record sales of 218,621 in 2012. It rolls into 2014 with the same competitive package of spaciousness, efficiency and style.
Equinox seats five and is available in LS, LT (1LT and 2LT trims) and LTZ models, with available all-wheel drive. Its roomy interior offers more headroom than the 2013 Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4; and when it comes to cargo space, Equinox offers 31.4 cubic feet (889 liters) behind the rear seat and 63.7 cubic feet (1,803 liters) with the rear seal folded.
Advanced safety features, including Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning, are available and contribute to Equinox's comprehensive package of passenger protection features. Equinox delivers connectivity and entertainment options with Chevrolet MyLink (available on LT and LTZ), as well as an available rear-seat, dual-player DVD entertainment system with a dual displays in the front seat backs.
With the standard Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected engine, the FWD Equinox achieves an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway. A direct-injected 3.6L V-6 is available on LT and LTZ models and delivers best-in-class 301 horsepower (225 kW) and 272 lb.-ft. of torque (369 Nm).
New features for 2014 include chrome-clad wheels on LTZ models and a pair of exterior colors: Red Rock Metallic and Silver Topaz Metallic.
Equinox exterior
Equinox wears Chevrolet's signature global face – a two-tier grille and prominent gold bowtie insignia – that combines with strong fender shapes, distinctive premium roofline, wraparound headlamps and dual round taillamps. Projector-style headlamps are standard on LTZ.
Equinox also stands out with a multi-dimensional hood, wraparound rear side glass and wheels-at-the-corners stance. The fascias on all models are body colors, with charcoal lower sections on LS and LT models and bright lowers on LTZ.
Chrome packages are available on LT models. The 1LT package includes chrome door handles, heated and power-adjustable outside mirrors, 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels and the Driver Convenience Package. For the 2LT trim, a choice of premium exterior colors – Black Granite Metallic or Crystal Red Tintcoat – is part of the package.
Additional exterior features include:
Exterior colors: Red Rock Metallic, Silver Topaz Metallic, Silver Ice Metallic, Black Granite Metallic, Summit White, Black, Crystal Red Tintcoat, White Diamond Tintcoat, Ashen Gray Metallic, Champagne Silver Metallic, Atlantis Blue Metallic and Tungsten Metallic.
Flexible space for passengers and cargo
Equinox's interior is designed for comfort, convenience and versatility. The standard MultiFlex sliding rear seat can offer passengers the most rear legroom in its class. It travels nearly eight inches fore and aft, providing up to 39.9 inches (1,015 mm) of real legroom. With the 60/40 split-back rear seat moved all the way forward, the cargo area offers 31.4 cubic feet (889 liters) of storage.
Family-friendly features include several storage bins , an oversized glove box, a closed storage under the center armrest big enough to accommodate a laptop computer, four 12-volt power outlets and eight cup and bottle holders.
Equinox is also a quiet and refined vehicle. Noise-absorbing elements in the chassis, engine compartment and interior and windshield glass make the cabin one of the quietest in the segment. 2.4L models feature an Active Noise Cancellation system that contributes to exceptional quietness and improved fuel economy.
Additional interior features include:
Interior color and trim choices:
MyLink details
Equinox is offered with Chevrolet MyLink, which includes easy-to-use controls and intuitive menus that help users quickly and easily chose the level of connectivity that works for them. MyLink seamlessly integrates Internet radio stations such as Pandora® and Stitcher SmartRadio® using hands-free voice and touch-screen controls via Bluetooth-enabled phones.
MyLink adds stereo audio streaming and wireless control of smartphones, building on the voice-activated Bluetooth hands-free calling capability already offered in most Chevy vehicles. A high-resolution, seven-inch, full-color touch screen display makes media selection easy to navigate. MyLink also retains all the capabilities of today's entertainment functions, including AM/FM/Sirius XM tuners, CD player with MP3 playback, auxiliary and USB inputs.
MyLink and MyLink with Navigation are available on LTZ and 2LT. Each is integrated with Equinox's advanced audio system.
Chassis and suspension
Equinox is built on a body-integral structure with single-piece body side stampings and targeted applications of high-strength steel. These elements create a solid, quiet driving experience. Additional features include:
Powertrain details
Both the standard Ecotec 2.4L engine and available 3.6L V-6 in the Equinox feature fuel-saving direct injection and continuously variable valve timing technology. The 2.4L delivers 182 horsepower (136 kW) with an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy rating of 32 mpg (on FWD version). E85 FlexFuel capability is available on vehicles with federal emissions.
The 3.6L is rated at 301 horsepower (225 kW) and 272 lb.-ft. of torque (369 Nm). This new engine uses lightweight components that contribute to the Equinox's fuel efficiency while boosting its horsepower. An integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design saves about 13 pounds compared to a non-integrated design, while a composite intake manifold saves about 5.5 pounds vs. an aluminum intake. Additionally, a lightweight structural front cover and high-strength connecting rods save additional weight.
An efficient six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all models and an "Eco" transmission mode on 2.4L-equipped models alters shift points to improve fuel economy.
Safety and crash-avoidance features
Equinox is built on a solid structure that includes strategic applications of high-strength steel to protect occupants in the event of a crash. And it is equipped with safety features designed to avoid crashes or protect occupants in the event of one, including:
OnStar benefits
Six months of OnStar Directions and Connections service comes standard on Equinox. OnStar is the global leading provider of connected safety, security and mobility solutions and advanced information technology.
OnStar's RemoteLink Mobile App allows smartphone users to control vehicle functions, access vehicle information and send directions directly to the vehicle. An opt-in service called FamilyLink allows subscribers to stay connected to loved ones by checking the location of their vehicle online or by signing up for vehicle location alerts.
More information about OnStar can be found at www.onstar.com.

|In response to Re: Jet Pump Advice Needed
: I recently replaced my 25 year old Myers Ejecto 1/2 hp jet pump with a Flotec pump. The Meyers could still get to 50 lbs without a problem, but I needed a new pressure tank and decided to also replace the pump since it was occasionally acting up. I knew that the Flotec was not as good as quality, but since I was planning on having a new well dug in 3 to 5 years and getting a submersible I thought I would be okay with the Flotec. Well, I was wrong. The new pump can only get to 46 lbs, and it takes forever to get even there. I really should have it cut out at 40 lbs.
: Anyway, I want to get another pump and the Grundfos All-In-One pump has been recomended to me. Evidently, it does not need a pressure tank. Has anyone heard of this pump or have an opinion about this type of pump?
: As an additional note, my supply line from the well is only a 3/4" galvanized pipe.
The key to solving your problems is the galvanized and the 3/4" line. Is your pump a single line or two line jet? If two line, deep well, did you change the j-body in the well? If not, you have to, it and the pump have to mate. And one manufacturer's may not work well with anothers. They also wear out.
Otherwise, you have have a blocked jet, or nozzle. Single line is in the wet end of the pump in line with the suction line, two line is in j-body of the pump in the well. You could have biomass sucked up against the water inlet to the pump, regardless of the type pump. You could have bought a pump with a different gpm rating than you had and needed for your well and system.
I don't suggest a new pump. Adjust your switch so the pump shuts off by adjusting the tall screw's nut upwardly. That changes both cut-in and out equally. Then drain the tank, check the air presssure in your pressure tank and set it for your pressure range; 1-2 psi less air than the cut-in pressure switch setting, with no water in the tank. See how that works but you really can't expect adequate flow through old rusted and too small galvanized.

The Emery County head librarians Carole Larsen and Roxanne Noyes presented an information slide show to the Emery County Commissioners. They are promoting the use of the library and connecting with your local library system through the internet. You can log in with your library card number, name and a password. The librarians are eager to get you going on this new adventure through the local library system.
You can go online and view your account and check out books. You can browse through all of the books, videos and supplies available at the library for check-out. The library boasts books on CD so your library can travel with you in the vehicle. The library website address is lib.emerycounty.com.
The library has a calendar posted on line that lists all of the storytimes for preschool and other library activities. Through the Emery County library website there is also access to the Utah Library website. This site has a myriad of useful information and data bases pertaining to every subject under the sun including how to guides with auto repair among others. The encyclopedias are also online at the library source as well as health information. Larsen and Noyes encouraged everyone to get on the website and see what it has to offer. You can renew your books on line. Every Saturday at the Castle Dale library is half-price fine day to catch up on any fines you might owe. Another feature is the ability to download books for free onto your Kindle, Nook or other electronic device.
Noyes said some library patrons may not be aware of all the services the library offers. The library has lamination services, copies, posters and others. You can view trailers for books on the website. The library offers inner-library loans between all the libraries in Emery County. If your library doesn't have a book you want the librarians will find it for you. They offer loans from the state library as well and a small postage fee is charged for these books. They can even search nationwide for any book you might need.
The library offers a write-up each month from one of the local librarians highlighting special books. The monthly newsletter spotlights books that will be released that month. The librarians want you to know they are excited about the new features and services the library has to offer. They are working hard to keep up to date on all the latest technology for libraries. They encourage everyone to watch for the summer reading storytime program which will begin in June.

Group: Modern Life Modern Vision
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Garden of the Princess
Date Made: 1867
Lender: Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College
Credit Line: R.T. Miller Jr. Fund, 1948
Garden of the Princess was painted from the colonnade of the Louvre in the spring of 1867, at the time of the opening of the Exposition universelle where Japanese art created widespread interest. Garden of the Princess presents random social groupings within a complex urban space, with interwoven trees and buildings. Monet's distant Pantheon is sharply defined and the chimney pots in the middle distance are as sharp as the trunks of the regimented rosebushes in the garden below. Monet looked down steeply onto the lawn below the Louvre, representing it as an absolutely flat, unmodulated plane of green paint.
Monet's selective focus on certain figures — such as the couple or the nursemaid in the garden, or the woman in a pink dress caught by a gleam of light under the trees — gives a sense of human presence within the distantly observed urban crowd. He may have developed this mode of representation from Hiroshige's witty abbreviated signs for different types of figures — an appropriate vocabulary for the disjointed experience of metropolitan Paris. The Japanese artist, however, did not have Monet's facility to use oil paint to suggest the crowd from which individual figures momentarily emerged. Monet would have seen contemporary photographs of Paris streets taken from high buildings, but these could not have given him the experience of the eye's active participation in the myriad visual moments of the modern city. He was less interested in the view than in his own visual sensations, high above an animated crowd in central Paris. Japanese prints helped him to embody these sensations.
