"Water is the lifeblood of Emery County." We who live and work in the semi-arid climate of Southeastern Utah understand this statement as only we can. It seems all other functions in this part of our world are contingent on our water resource and its availability. With this understanding, the water-use subcommittee of the Emery County Public Lands Council determined to take on the task of evaluating this precious resource and identify areas where improvements to current water management might be possible.
The water-use subcommittee hosted a San Rafael River/Muddy Creek Watershed Study kick-off meeting on Aug. 26. Partners of the subcommittee, including personnel from Utah Division of Water Resources, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Emery Water Conservancy District, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Muddy Creek Irrigation Company, Ferron Creek Canal and Reservoir Company, Cotton Creek Irrigation Company and Huntington/Cleveland Irrigation Company met at the Castle Valley Lodge in Moore to first discuss the following field tour and hear some remarks from Norm Evenstad and Todd Stonely of NRCS and a presentation of native fish issues by Paul Birdseye of DWR.
The study these partners are undertaking is intended to accomplish several objectives, some of which are: Complete thorough analysis of both the San Rafael River and Muddy Creek watersheds to detail the hydrologic function of each watershed. The study would also create a water budget, identify existing water supplies, any discernable trends, and quantify the amount of water that could potentially be captured before it flows out of the system.
Identify all existing developed water supplies and uses within both watersheds, and estimate future water supplies and demands.
Consider automation, remote control and monitoring of water delivery systems to increase efficiency.
Explore the possibility of increased storage capacity within the study areas.
Summarize the existing wildlife habitat and needs. The San Rafael River is home to three federally listed endangered fish and four state listed sensitive species. Potential actions required to preserve and improve these important values would be evaluated.
The estimated budget of the project approaches $300,000 and will be a combination of congressionally earmarked funds, Community Impact Board dollars, industry participation and a variety of local matching funds.
Following the overview meeting at Castle Valley Lodge, the participants mobilized to a tour of portions of the watersheds and current projects and water storage facilities. The first stop was the de-siltation structure project on Muddy Creek. This project will remove silt and debris from the creek and deliver it to the existing canal system for transportation to the town of Emery. According to Emery Mayor and sub-committee co-chairperson Mistie Christiansen, the de-siltation structure is an $800,000 project and is about 70 percent complete. The town is currently attempting to develop funding to install a pipeline to get the de-silted water from the new structure to the town's water treatment plant. The Mayor is hopeful that this study and other resources will be helpful in demonstrating the viability of the pipeline.
From the parking lot of the Millsite State Park, Norm Evenstad gave an explanation of the current efforts by most of these same participants to develop a strategy for Millsite Dam which will develop a new emergency spillway, capable of accommodating catastrophic flows, and probably raise the height of the dam by four feet to offset the loss of storage capacity due to siltation from Ferron Creek. A dredge and slurry system, intended to route incoming silt past the reservoir and flush it on down stream is also being considered at Millsite.
After the group reassembled at the nearly completed diversion system on Huntington Creek, Cody Allred, Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company member and Rocky Mountain Power Representative briefly explained the function of the new system. HCIC had been fortunate to have this project funded mostly by America's Reinvestment and Recovery Act, also known as stimulus funding. The structure is designed to receive raw water from Huntington River, eliminate debris with a system of revolving screens, and deliver the water to two large pipelines that in turn move the water to farms and irrigation systems in the North Emery area. According to Allred, some problems have been encountered with the screening system but the manufacturer is working with the irrigation company to get them resolved and the system functioning properly.
To complete a full day and give the visitors from out of the area a better understanding of the beginning stages of water management in Emery County, the group traveled up Huntington Canyon and made observations of on-the-ground conditions of the high-country watershed and storage facilities. The entourage traveled past Electric Lake, and made stops at Cleveland, Rolfson and Miller's Flat Reservoirs.

On our bikes.
Last week on a beautiful day I had the pleasure of meeting wonderful Aron from Make it Easy who is now in Tokyo for a month from Hawaii! We rode around on our bikes to the park where we had a little picnic with obento and ebisu beer, and to Tama River then back to Jiyugaoka. The weather in Tokyo has been beautiful and perfect for bike riding I really enjoyed our fun afternoon adventure :)

|In response to Re: Replacement for Case 3000 wall hung toilet
I am desperate to buy a Case 3000 or Briggs 6000 replacement toilet as the bowl is cracked; if I don't find one (any color) I'll have to have both back-to-back toilets replaced with the new type, which entails opening up the wall and reconfiguring the plumbing. Please let me know if those toilets you have are for sale.: The beauty of the 3000's was that they could not overflow when they plugged up, which made them ideal for upstairs bathrooms. I really regretted it when Briggs decided to stop production on them. In your case, there is no other toilet which uses the Case/Briggs hanger bar, so you have to open the wall and remove it and then install the two upper bolts on the carrier in the wall. How you do that depends on the carrier. Some already have the tappings for the upper bolts and others need a pair of extensions. Making this revision will still be much easier than opening the floors and installing a tee anc closet bend for a floor mount toilet.
: : We have two Case 3000 wall hung toilets, installed in the 1960s when our house was built. Replacement ballcocks are available on the web, which are pricey but make it possible to keep the toilets working basically forever.
: : The toilets are actually very good quality and work great. However, my wife hates the colors, purple and green (very 1960's -- I say wait a few more decades and the colors are bound to be back in style).
: : Our plumber says that repiping would be a huge project. Is there any other toilet that can be used as a replacement without major replumbing?
: : Our plumber thinks that the Elger Walford would work, but another discussion on this web site suggests that no current toilets are compatible with the mounting and plumbing configuration of our Case toilets.
: : I must admit I'm also nervous about installing a new 1.6 gpf toilet. These toilets have to flush down a lot of 1960's cast iron drainpipe before reaching the septic system.
: : Maybe just staying with the ugly colors and sky high maintenance costs is the best option, but I would really like to know if there is another compatible toilet out there.

Bath relied on five penalties from the inconsistent boot of young fly-half George Ford to defeat Gloucester 15-13 at The Rec.
Bath relied on five penalties from the inconsistent boot of young fly-half George Ford to defeat Gloucester 15-13 at The Rec.
Three Ford penalties to Freddie Burns' one gave the hosts a 9-3 advantage at the interval before the home side's stand-off added a further two in the second period.
Although Burns touched down and scored his second three-pointer to earn the Cherry and Whites a losing bonus-point, they couldn't find that much needed win.
Gloucester went into this game in 10th place with just two wins from five matches and they struggled to get a foothold early on against their West Country rivals.
The hosts' powerful pack and the visitors' mistake-ridden opening was the primary contributor to Bath controlling territory and possession.
That pressure saw Nigel Davies' men infringe and Ford kicked the Rec-based team ahead after just five minutes.
However, in atrocious conditions, both teams failed to add to the score until just before the half-hour when the home side's stand-off was on target once again from the tee.
Ford then gave Bath a nine-point buffer, but Burns at least got the Cherry and Whites on the board with a three-pointer of his own.
Gloucester struggled in the early part of the second half as Gary Gold's side dominated the set-piece. But a fourth penalty from their pivot was all they had to show for their territory.
Rupert Harden, the visitors' prop, was also spending 10 minutes in the sin-bin for repeated infringements by his team, yet it was last season's fifth placed Premiership side that were next on the scoreboard through a Burns try.
The respective fly-halves traded three-pointers as the game entered the final 13 minutes, but Gloucester couldn't find that elusive score to snatch the win.
The scorers:
For Bath:
Pens: Ford 5
Yellow Card: Watson
For Gloucester:
Try: Burns
Con: Burns
Pen: Burns 2
Yellow Card: Harden
Bath: 15 Anthony Watson, 14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12Kyle Eastmond, 11 Matt Banahan, 10 George Ford, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Carl Fearns, 7 Francois Louw, 6 Matt Garvey, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Rob Webber, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Juan Pablo Orlandi, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Alafoti Fa'osiliva, 21 Martin Roberts, 22 Gavin Henson, 23 Horacio Agulla.
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 James Simpson-Daniel, 13 Mike Tindall, 12 Ryan Mills, 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Tom Savage (capt), 5 James Hudson, 4 Elliott Stooke, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Darren Dawidiuk, 1 Dan Murphy.

The construction of 3-Layer GORE-TEX® Products is unique. A 3-layer GORE-TEX® membrane is sandwiched between a soft outer material and a knit polyester backing material that increases durability. These garments keep you comfortable and protected from the elements without adding extra bulk or weight.
The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside. But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you won't feel clammy or uncomfortable inside your jacket.

Know issues with the Beta .5
Since this mod is a work in progress, some optimizations have been made to the models for performance. You might experience a slight slowdown due to the fact that we haven't done a full optimization pass yet.
Currently the game feels balanced, but some things may destroy objects faster then they should, the game will continually balance out as the mod progresses. This goes for speed of vehicles, weapon damage and amount of ammo.
Airplane and Helicopters
Not all planes have a new cockpit yet, this is a work in progress.
Only maps that display a small DC logo in them have DC vehicles. This is only temporary until new maps are created. Some new DC maps do not support single player yet, coming soon.
Battle of Eastings, does support it though.

I've been a big fan of DC for some time now, however the last version never worked on my computer; single player would crash all the time. The initial download is a monster, especially with the slow servers I ever find it at but it is well worth the hour and a half wait for it!! This version works flawlessly on my computer now! A MUST HAVE fpr anyone with BF1942.To the person with the low framerates: If turning your res and detail down didn't help you're gonna have to turn down your sight distance which will suck but its that or buy a new vid card. My brother has a Duron 900mhz, 512SD Ram, and a Radeon 7000 and his can play it with everything turned down. He gets 20-25 fps.I don't know whats up with the 65 fps in MP2, maybe you are playing with too many people? I know my bro can't handle over 30 players without getting unbareable lag.If you want a more precise explanation of your problem you're gonna have to post some system specs.With my XP1700+ /w Radeon 9700 Pro and 512 DDR I never saw lag, however I never tried massive multiplayer games (over 40 players).
Desert Combat Public Beta v.5L Full Client
Sorry, I didn't realize you posted again. You really should put in a name. CPU is plenty fine, ram is plenty fine unless you are running with 64 players maybe, video card should be acceptable again as long as there arent too many players on your screen at once. Whats your hard drive setup? Make sure you only have one hard drive on each ATA slot. Is the hard drive an old one you pulled off another computer? Could cause some lag. Maybe your hard drive is highly fragmented. I assume the 25fps was single player, right? Or maybe a multiplayer game with just you in it. Since you know what is in your computer I assume you keep your drivers up to date. What chipset is on your mobo? Hmmmm... I can only suggest basic ideas because I don't know your precise situation. With your system you should be running fine.Also, a lot of the gamers here will have better systems than yours so don't assume yours is better. Personally - XP 2500+@ 3200+, 1 GB of TwinX RAM, Radeon 9700 Pro (thinking about selling it to a friend and getting a 9800 XT), Raptor HD, NF7-S mobo, and way too much cooling! :)Sorry, its a new computer and I just had to brag a little. I can just imagine in 2 years how outdated it will be if someone comes back and reads this.If you're still having trouble email me and I'll help you get it running. I hate to see someone with such a good CPU getting such crappy framerates.

Free software and the Blade Runner strategy
By davidleetodd on Aug 30, 2007
Now that I am part of the OpenOffice.org services team, I've been thinking more about free and open source software, and about intellectual property in general. Clearly, one place where free software has the potential to help people is in the Third World, the developing countries where increased access to software and the Internet is a vital component of the effort to lift whole societies out of poverty. Ironically, experience seems to show that free software has not had the impact that it should have in the Third World, and the reason is that there is another low-cost alternative: pirated copies of Windows and Microsoft Office.
My son in Shanghai told me about going to a black market technology bazaar right out of Blade Runner or Neuromancer, where hundreds of tiny shops were busily constructing whitebox desktops, and happily loading them with bootleg Windows. A similar black market exists in Mexico City, and I'd be willing to bet that one exists in most countries outside of the First World.
Piracy is obviously wrong, but it's also clear that failing to enforce intellectual property laws is a workable development strategy often pursued by countries to spur economic growth. When Taiwan was struggling to develop, it refused to sign international copyright conventions, making it possible for students to buy pirated technical books very cheaply. Back in the day, my brother brought me a bootleg technical manual from Taiwan that cost maybe a tenth of what it would have cost in the US at that time. As it grew richer, and sought to join the World Trade Organization, Taiwan brought its intellectual property laws into line with the First World. Perhaps enforcing copyright is a sign of a country's increasing economic maturity. Morality is for those who can afford it.
This suggests that free software may actually play a greater role when a country rises a bit above complete poverty, and starts to crack down on piracy in order to enjoy the benefits of more trade with the First World. At that point, free software will have more of a price advantage over the outrageous monopoly pricing imposed by First World software companies operating in the Third World.

TOWSON, Md. – Senior Jamie Lincoln tied his season-high with five goals and junior Andrew Gvozden made eight saves to lead the 10th-ranked Hofstra Pride to a 12-5 CAA victory over the Towson Tigers at Johnny Unitas Stadium Saturday afternoon. Hofstra, which won its third consecutive game, improved to 8-1 overall and 2-1 in conference play. Towson fell to 2-6 and 0-2 in the CAA.
The Pride blew the game open in the third quarter scoring six times during a 7-0 run to take a 9-3 lead after three quarters. Lincoln's five goals equaled his five against Harvard on March 5. Senior Stephen Bentz added two goals and one assist while sophomore Ian Braddish chipped in with one goal and two assists. The Tigers were led by junior Matt Lamon with two goals while goalie Travis Love posted 11 saves in the Towson cage.
Towson got on the board first as Matt Lamon notched his seventh of the season off a pass to the crease from Sean McGuire 2:28 into the contest. But the Pride responded with back-to-back goals by senior Jamie Lincoln. He scored his 15th of the season just 16 seconds after the Tiger goal on a pass to the side of the goal from John Antoniades to tie the game. Lincoln tallied his second of the game when he raked in a rebound of a Brad Loizeaux shot that was stopped by Love, with 2:41 to play in the quarter.
The Tigers tied the game 1:36 into the second quarter as senior Peter Mezzanotte took a pass from Andrew Hodgson and fired in a bullet from 15 yards. Towson took a brief 3-2 lead with 2:09 to play in the half as senior Elliott Domanic fed Lamon, who beat Gvozden from five yards out. Hofstra came right back on the ensuing face-off with senior Steven DeNapoli picking up the ground ball, charging the Tiger goal and beating Love on a bounce shot just 10 second later to tie the game at 3-3.
Hofstra took a 4-3 lead just 4:14 into the second half as senior Stephen Bentz picked up a loose ball in front of the Towson cage off a Tiger turnover and fed Lincoln for a jump shot goal. Lincoln scored his fourth of the game and 18th of the year, taking a short bounce pass from Ian Braddish and beating Love from seven yards in front for a 5-3 lead with 5:58 to play in the third. Sophomore Adrian Sorichetti notched his third of the season, on the run from six yards out to the left side of Love, two minutes later for a 6-3 advantage. Bentz then scored his 15th of the season, coming out from behind the goal at the 2:26 mark. Antoniades scored his first of the year five seconds later, winning the face-off and going in on Love. IBraddish ended the Pride seven-goal run with his eighth of the season with 56 seconds to play in the third period.
The Tigers ended the Pride run 29 seconds into the fourth quarter as McGuire scored off a pass from Mezzanotte. But Hofstra's Jay Card extended his xonsecutive game points scoring streak to 37 games with his 16th goal of the year, from Braddish, to boost the lead to 10-4 with 13:04 to play in the contest. Lincoln then scored his fifth of the game, equaling his Pride best set earlier this year against Harvard, at the 7:17 mark. Bentz scored a man-up goal with 4:12 to play before Domanic closed out the scoring with his first of the year a minute late for Towson.
Hofstra outshot Towson, 37-30 and picked up 33 ground balls to the Tigers' 24. Hofstra returns to action on Tuesday, April 5 when the Pride host the Jaspers of Manhattan College at James M. Shuart Stadium at 7 p.m.

danced all night
"I have a wide foot across the toe joints, so sometimes sandals are not comfortable after wearing them. I purchased these in a half size larger than normal. The length was good, and they were plenty wide enough. These were still comfortable after dancing all night at a wedding. I would buy them in every color there is!"

Perfect for larger calves
"My calves are LARGE. This is the first pair I bought - I've never had a pair fit my calves without a baggy ankle. These are shinier than they seem online but not gaudy. I used a rewards card I got in the mail and saved $20 - so for a total of $40 this is a great deal. I had tried it on in store but waited to order and did so online. Great length for wearing with dresses and tights, and roomy enough to wear with jeans tucked in."

"I have a beautiful 8-year-old son who I want to keep up with and I can barely walk across my house without resting. My husband is at his wits end having to handle everything, but he is trying to stay strong and supportive. I am a very independent active person so to have it all taken away is been very hard on me as a person."
My journey began many years ago. I was diagnosed with a rare pulmonary disease before the age of 2 called idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH). I had it most of my young childhood, in and out of hospitals. Then early tween years I went into a remission and for many years following I led a normal, active life. Around age 30 I noticed I had more breathing limits and after having my first child at age 32 I felt even more limited. I then went to see some new doctors who diagnosed me with a form of emphysema with underlying IPH (my childhood illness). I began treatments of inhalers and stayed stable for many more years. Then things began to get way worse. My pulmonary function tests were staying stable but my activity level decreased dramatically. I then decided to start the steps toward getting worked up for a lung transplant, and one of the required tests is a right-heart catheterization.
After those tests I was told I had secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH), as a result of my lungs being under so much stress my heart was overcompensating. I started out on calcium channel blockers and they did nothing, then I went on Revatio and felt way worse. Now I am on Adcirca and Lasix and still no big signs of improvement. I work out of my home as a designer but not much anymore these days, I have a beautiful 8-year-old son who I want to keep up with and I can barely walk across my house without resting. My husband is at his wits end having to handle everything, but he is trying to stay strong and supportive. I am a very independent active person so to have it all taken away is been very hard on me as a person . . . I have changed. The next steps would be to test me on the inhaler drug in the hospital for a week . . . just the idea of having to do a nebulizer four times a day for 45 minutes is not ideal, but if that does not work then it would be the catheter self-mixing continuous drug . . . so I do not want that. And lastly the infamous lung transplant, but with those odds I can only see choosing that if I am already dying.
I have many family and friends who are always sending me stories of people they have heard had successful lung transplants and when I look those people up to see how they are today most are dead. I am a positive person, but those odds are terrible and the life you have post-surgery, the only pro is you can breathe again but you are at the doctor's or hospital all the time dealing with tests and drug reactions. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth just living out the days my lungs and heart will give me then to deal with all that and most likely die from effects of the drugs rather than the disease itself.
I am at a loss of where to turn. I would love to get on the right drug that treats my PH so that I can resume some activity for a while and deal with a possible transplant years down the road.

It's common sense that low mortgage rates are important to the housing market. They make purchasing a home more affordable and make refinancing more attractive for current homeowners. (Also from U.S. News: What Happens to the Housing Market When the Investors Leave?)
But low mortgage rates have other important benefits, too. Provided low borrowing costs don't go to the extremes we saw in the boom, cheap credit can be part of a virtuous cycle. Here's a look at how homeowners, the housing market, and the economy benefit from record-low mortgage rates:
Increased demand. Low mortgage rates help create demand for housing because would-be buyers want to jump on cheap financing before rates go up. This March, new home sales were more than 18 percent above levels reported a year earlier according to the Commerce Department. Existing-homes sales saw a jump too, rising more than 10 percent year-over-year in March, according to the National Association of Realtors.
[Click to compare mortgage interest rates from multiples lenders now.]
Rising prices. Heightened housing demand has stripped the available supply down to very lean levels, which in turn has fueled rapid home price increase in some markets. Since March 2012, the median existing-home value was up almost 12 percent, while prices for new homes rose about 3 percent. Measures from Case-Shiller and others home-price trackers put yearly gains at around 10 percent as well. Rising home prices are a key component to fixing the housing market. (Also from U.S. News: Where a House Costs Less Than a Used Car)
Rebuilding equity. Crashing home prices during the financial crisis plunged millions of homeowners underwater on their mortgages. While regular monthly payments will slowly re-balance the scales, recovering lost equity could take years.
Rising home prices help fill in these equity holes much more quickly. Negative equity — owing more on your mortgage than your home is worth — has dropped 41 percent since last March according to a recent LPS Analytics report.
Why is all this important?
First, it means that someone who wants to sell their home and move (following job prospects, for example) can do so without having to write a check to the bank at closing, and can eliminate the need for a messy and protracted short-sale process.
There are benefits for homeowners who want to stay put, too. Rising home prices, like stock prices, contribute to the "wealth effect," in which homeowners feel more confident about spending money. This in turn helps prop up the economy and create jobs.
Also, rebuilding lost equity can also open up a source of low-cost credit, such as a home equity line of credit. Lenders tightened home equity standards a couple of years ago, and it has been hard to leverage all the equity in a home because about 10 to 20 percent must remain untouched. Rising home prices can create that borrowable equity, which is valuable for everything from debt consolidation to home improvement. (Also from U.S. News: U.S. Home Prices Continue to Pick Up Speed)
There are limits, however. If home prices rise too far or too fast, affordability can fall and incomes would need to rise or mortgage rates would have to fall even further to compensate. Neither of those seems likely. The last time such a situation occurred, "exotic" mortgages designed to enhance affordability spread through the market like wildfire and were the proximate cause of the mortgage crisis.
For now, affordability remains strong despite home prices rising by double digits on a year-over-year basis. Since there is little likelihood home values will return to at or above-market peaks anytime soon, low mortgage rates will continue to bring benefits to homeowners.

"I fell in love with these shoes in store! I wore them for bar hopping and my feet still felt fine at the end of the night. I love the thicker heel because it's very supportive. Another reviewer said these are good for women who aren't used to wearing heels and I would agree with that! I am very tempted to buy them in Taupe as well because I like them that much. I would say they run true to size and the straps did not bother or rub against my skin. Overall, very good heel and I would definitely recommend to anyone! We are all looking for that pump that is comfy AND stylish and I say this one does just that."

"I have a very narrow foot so I often get 1 size smaller in sandals. But based on reviews of these running small, I ordered my regular shoe size. It turns out they were still too small. Length was fine, but they were too tight (for even my narrow foot). Other than that, the padding was very comfortable. If they had a larger size, I would have exchanged for them."

Canucks re-sign Eddie Lack
Cam Charron
August 27 2012 10:28AM
Some good news on a Monday morning...
Eddie Läck, everybody's favourite Swedish depth goaltender, was rumoured to be on the way out of North America next season despite an overwhelming deficit of evidence to support the claim.
Today, the Province Twitter account alerted us that the Vancouver Canucks organization has re-signed Läck:
— Province Sports (@provincesports) August 27, 2012
#Canucks have re-signed goaltender Eddie Lack. The AHL Wolves goalie was originally signed by Vancouver as a free agent on April 6, 2010.
There are several things I like about Eddie Läck. He plays comparatively well to other goalies at his level and is likely ready to take over as an NHL backup after two exceptional seasons on the farm in Manitoba and Chicago, with save percentages of .925 and .926 respectfully, as a starter. The general consensus is that Läck will back up Cory Schneider this season, and all we need to accomodate that possibility is a Roberto Luongo trade.
Läck was a restricted free agent, making $67,500 per year in the AHL when he signed in the spring of 2010. He's probably due for a bit of a raise.
Terms aren't out there yet (UPDATE - per Läck's Twitter feed, it's a two-year deal), but under the current waiver system, regardless of a one-way or two-way deal, Läck is exempt from waivers. Since he's 24 and has yet to play an NHL game, that should probably carry over to the next collective bargaining agreement. One must hope that one of the provisions of his contract is that his name must be spelled with the umlaut over the "A" in his last name in all team press releases.
Canucks announce re-signing of goalie, Eddie Lack.2 years.$650 000/$85,000 and then $850,000— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) August 27, 2012
Still a two-way deal, but pays slightly more money.

The Municipal Building Authority of Emery County discussed the industrial building and its proposed sale. At the last meeting the bids were opened and one was chosen, with the condition that the present tenant will move out as soon as possible. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he has talked with the county attorney, who is watching the progress of the building, and he said the present tenants have not moved out.
"They are cleaning up the grounds somewhat, and I understand the work on the inside of the building has progressed even further," said Horrocks. "What we need today is to ratify the sale of the building to the high bidder, Mac's Mining, and proceed with the sale." The MBA approved to ratify the sale to Mac's Mining for $32,000 and they will take occupancy when the present tenant has completely moved out.
Mike McCandless said he has toured the facility and the present tenants have made significant progress with the clean up of the building. "They are waiting for a scrap company to come clean up the scrap iron in the yard before they begin work on the outside. I will check several times each week and report the progress to you," said McCandless.
Commissioner Gary Kofford reported the buildings at the airport improvement project are up and complete. "The work is being done now on the office, and some sheet-rocking. Next week the power will be into the buildings. One thing that is on hold is the asphalt work. That cannot be done until the weather breaks," said Kofford.
Kofford also reported the progress of the work on the Children's Justice Center. He said the building is closed in now, and for the remainder of the winter months, the crews will be working inside doing sheetrock and taping work. The utilities have been installed and turned on. Kofford said the target date for completion is the end of school this spring.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth reported the renovation project at Emery Care and Rehab has been scaled back due to increased construction costs. "At the board's last meeting, the decision was made to proceed with the architect on the plans for a new kitchen and laundry facility. They will have everything in place to go to the Community Impact Board to request funding in May. They decided to forego the assisted living portion of the project, but will probably remodel the offices and reception center, and will do some roof repair work," said Pitchforth.
Commissioner Horrocks stated the new building for the food bank was put on hold last year due to lack of financing. Commissioner Kofford said an architect needs to be brought into the project and decisions need to be made before the project can proceed.
The architect must be on board and plans drawn up before funding can be sought.
The MBA meets on the second Tuesday each month at 2 p.m. in the commission chambers.

Another Great Prada Shoe!
"This shoe is beautiful, very comfy and wonderfully made. To my fellow shoe lovers and anyone ordering Prada for the first few times, like my daughter and myself, we have now figured out what size to order. The first Prada shoe purchased was the Prada Buckle "flat" with the small heel and a more square toe box. This shoe has a more rounded toe box. It seems to us, after purchasing several pairs of Prada's, that any of the square toe box shoes run true to size. If you are going to purchase a shoe with a rounded off toe box shoe you should purchase a 1/2 size up as they do run smaller. Hope this review helps someone out there!I will say this to all of you thinking of ordering Prada but are holding off due to the price of the shoe - go ahead and treat yourself! They are beautifully made shoes and are worth the cost."

Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (ASX: VAH) reports Financial Results for Half Year Ended 31 December 201226/02/2013

Financial Summary
- Statutory Profit After Tax of $23.0 million
- Underlying Profit Before Tax of $61.0 million
- Revenue growth of 5.4% on H1 FY12, building on 18.0% growth achieved on H1 FY11
- Outperformed the market on Group Yield growth
- Highest number of passengers in any half, up around 200K on H1 FY12 to over 10 million for the first time
- Strong cost control, even with major product and service enhancements – underlying CASK (excl. fuel) reduced by 1.5%
- Strengthened balance sheet with good liquidity, including existing debt pay-down of $151 million and free cash balance of $430 million
Operational Highlights: Game Change Program
Significant progress on Game Change Program, next phase on track:
- Strong progress on multi-faceted plan for profitable growth: acquisition plans for Skywest Airlines and Tiger Airways announced, Sabre system successfully launched and already delivering benefits
- Singapore Airlines strategic investment completed, demonstrating confidence in Virgin Australia strategy
- Business efficiency project delivered sustainable efficiency gains of $25 million in H1 FY13, on track to deliver over $60 million for FY13
- Velocity Frequent Flyer membership of 3.5 million, up by around 500K on H1 FY12
- Interline and codeshare revenue increased 56.1% on H1 FY12 – expected to improve further in H2 FY13 with the successful introduction of the Sabre system in January 2013
- Virgin Australia recognised as Domestic Airline of the Year for 2012 at the recent Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards
Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (ASX: VAH) today reported a statutory Net Profit After Tax of $23.0 million and an underlying Profit Before Tax of $61.0 million. This represents a decline of $35.1 million on the first half of Financial Year 2012, which was a high comparative period as a result of the Qantas industrial issues (the direct impact of which was approximately $6 million) and the absence of the Carbon Tax ($24.4 million).
Virgin Australia Chief Executive Officer John Borghetti said: "The Group has delivered a solid result in a difficult operating and economic environment, reflecting the significant progress we have made in diversifying our revenue base and improving cost control, while continuing to enhance the customer experience.
"The Game Change Program strategy has driven improved revenue performance, with revenue growth of 5.4 per cent on the first half of Financial Year 2012, building on the strong growth of 18.0 per cent that we achieved on the first half of Financial Year 2011. This revenue growth was also achieved in the context of the highest domestic market capacity increase since the launch of Jetstar in 2004.
"We have continued to grow our corporate and government revenue and maintained the new norm in which more than 20 per cent of our domestic revenue comes from this higher yielding market.
"Our innovative global alliance strategy continues to go from strength to strength, with a significant increase in interline and codeshare revenue, up 56.1 per cent on the first half of Financial Year 2012 . We are also seeing the benefits of this strategy on our Velocity Frequent Flyer program. Membership has increased by 15.5 per cent on the first half of Financial Year 2012 and points earned on airline partners have increased by 113.1 per cent.
"We have made a number of enhancements to our product, network and loyalty program. These enhancements, combined with the skill and dedication of our outstanding people, have seen us take the leading position in customer satisfaction. It was announced last week that Virgin Australia achieved Domestic Airline of the Year for 2012 at the Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards, which are based on the world's largest ongoing independent single-source survey.
"Over the half, we have maintained our strong focus on positioning the company for profitable growth. We have outlined a multi-faceted plan that includes expansion in the high-growth regional and budget markets through the proposed acquisition of Skywest Airlines and the proposed acquisition of 60 per cent of Tiger Australia. If approved, the Virgin Australia Group will have the lowest cost-base in the full-service, budget and regional markets.
"Today's financial results clearly demonstrate that our current strategy gives us the flexibility required to remain profitable in challenging conditions while continuing to position us for future growth", Mr Borghetti said.
Financial and Operating Performance
"Considering the aggressive competition and challenging economic environment, Virgin Australia has delivered a solid financial performance for the first half of the 2013 Financial Year, illustrating the success and resilience of our new operating model.
"We attracted the highest number of passengers ever in a six month period, carrying over 10 million for the first time.
"Revenue increased by 5.4 per cent on the first half of the 2012 Financial Year, building on the strong growth of 18.0 per cent that we achieved on the first half of Financial Year 2011.
"Interline and codeshare revenue contributed to a large part of this growth, as did our expanding regional operations, which accounted for 22.9 per cent of total revenue growth. We are very pleased with the increasing take up of Business Class, with passenger traffic in the Business Class cabin growing by 91.6 per cent compared to the first half of Financial Year 2012.
"As foreshadowed, Virgin Australia outperformed the market on Group Yield growth. Group Yield was down 1.0 per cent, reflecting the aggressive capacity and pricing environment and a strong comparative period.
"The turnaround of the international business continues to progress well, supported by our alliance partner strategy. For the first half of Financial Year 2013, international revenue increased by 7.9 per cent.
"We have delivered a strong performance on cost, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining our cost advantage and our flexibility to withstand challenging operating conditions. Underlying CASK (excluding fuel) reduced by 1.5 per cent, in the context of significant product and service enhancements.
"The business was also impacted by the introduction of the carbon tax, the cost of which we were unable to recover due to aggressive competition in the market. The cost of the tax for the first half of Financial Year 2013 was $24.4 million.
"We have made significant progress on our three-year business efficiency program designed to ensure we have a sustainable cost advantage now and in the future. Over the half, the project has delivered sustainable efficiency gains of $25 million and we are on track to deliver over $60 million by the end of the financial year.
"Our current tiered hedging policy has been successful in providing short term certainty in a volatile environment. The remainder of Financial Year 2013 operating fuel requirements are 87 per cent hedged at a worst-case hedge rate of Brent AUD108 per barrel inclusive of option premium.
"We recorded capacity growth of 8.9 per cent across our domestic network, in line with guidance. This growth was driven by the replacement of Boeing 737-800s with Airbus A330-200s on transcontinental routes, strategic increases to frequencies on key corporate sectors, the growth of our regional ATR-72 turboprop network and the commencement of services on routes which previously lacked competition.
"In the second half of the 2013 Financial Year, we expect domestic capacity to grow between 5 and 7 per cent, inclusive of the new routes that we announced today.
"We are also pleased to remain the leading major brand in On Time Performance , having achieved 83.9 per cent for the first half of the 2013 Financial Year, which includes all of our regional operations. The fleet of ATR-72 turboprop aircraft delivered a strong On Time Performance improvement for the half, increasing to 84.5 per cent and surpassing our major competitor by 6.5 points. Performance was particularly good on the important Capital Connect routes between Sydney and Canberra, where our lead extended to 9.0 points", Mr Borghetti said.
Capital Management
"As stated previously, the Group has been focused on strengthening our balance sheet.
"Over the half, we have repaid existing debt of $151 million, we have limited new borrowings and we have maintained good liquidity, with $430 million of unrestricted cash at the end of December 2012.
"In light of the continuing uncertain economic and competitive environment and the need to support our current and future strategic initiatives, we will not declare a dividend. We will continue to review our dividend policy having regard to the ongoing cash requirements of the company and we will look to pay a dividend when appropriate", Mr Borghetti said.
The Next Phase of the Game Change Program: On Track
"We are now six months into the second phase of our Game Change Program, which is about capitalising on our competitive advantages and driving new growth opportunities for the business, while retaining the flexibility to adapt to the changing market. I am pleased to report that we are on track on all key measures that we have set.
"As outlined in the Financial and Operating Performance, we have made significant progress on our three-year business efficiency program, which puts us on track to deliver a run rate of $200 million per annum by the end of Financial Year 2015. Business efficiency will continue to be an important focus for the organisation going forward, as part of our commitment to ensure we have a sustainable cost advantage as we grow.
"Velocity Frequent Flyer membership has now grown to over 3.5 million, an increase of around 500,000 members from the end of December 2011. The member base is highly engaged, with a number of new earn partners added in the hotel and online retail sectors and rewards redemption continuing to grow strongly with a 47.8 per cent increase in points redeemed. We expect this to continue to grow, supported by additional reward redemption opportunities and access to reward seats. The full commencement of reciprocal earn and burn programs with our partner airlines is driving substantial growth in points earned on airline partners, up 113.1 per cent on the first half of Financial Year 2012.
"A key component of the second phase of the Game Change Program involves improving our access to global markets in order to drive further revenue growth. As reported in our Financial Performance, this half we delivered 56.1 per cent growth in interline and codeshare revenue as a result of the continued development and strengthening of our alliances.
"Our new Sabre booking and check-in system will be key to driving future revenue growth. As a result of the new system, travel agents around the world now have far greater visibility of Virgin Australia, enabling them to book our flights with more ease using a system that aligns with global standards.
"In fact, we are already seeing the benefits of the system, with our proportion of bookings through the Global Distribution System (GDS) increasing five-fold since its launch in mid-January. It is also important to note that bookings though GDS channels typically have a 10 per cent yield premium to average bookings.
"The Sabre system will accelerate our growth in the corporate, government and high yield markets. With the stabilisation of load factors following the change in our business model and further growth in higher yield markets, we anticipate improved RASK performance going forward.
"Finally, over the half we have continued to invest in our key differentiator: maintaining an engaged and motivated team of people and putting the customer at the centre of everything we do.
"Our recognition at the recent Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards as Domestic Airline of the Year demonstrates the fantastic work that our team are doing every day in going above and beyond to ensure our customers have the best possible travel experience.
"The importance that our team plays in the success of our airline cannot be overstated and I would like to thank each and every one of them for their tireless efforts and for their dedication to Virgin Australia.
Virgin Australia Group Growth Plan
"We are very pleased to have received ACCC clearance for our proposed acquisition of Skywest Airlines (ASX: SXR, LSE: SKYW). Pending the approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board, Skywest shareholders and the final sanction of the Singapore High Court, we anticipate completing the acquisition by the end of April 2013.
"This acquisition will enable us to accelerate our expansion in the high growth fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) and regional markets, increasing competition in these important segments and bringing new benefits to customers. It will also be very positive for business and tourism, particularly for regional Australia, as we will invest to support the growth of Skywest.
"We have also recently received approval from the shareholders of Tiger Airways Holdings Limited (SGX: TGR) for our proposal to acquire 60 per cent of Tiger Australia. The ACCC is currently reviewing submissions relating to the proposed joint venture and has said that it proposes to announce its findings on 14 March 2013. Subject to all necessary approvals being obtained, we anticipate that this transaction will be completed by the end of April 2013.
"We strongly believe the proposed acquisition will increase competition in the market to the benefit of Australian consumers. By partnering with Tiger Airways, we can use our expertise to leverage Tiger Australia's low cost base and build a competitive and sustainable budget carrier. We are committed to maintaining the Tiger Australia business model and brand, and we look forward to growing the Tiger Airways business.
Consistent with the guidance provided at our Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2012, while we currently expect an improved underlying Profit Before Tax in Financial Year 2013 compared to Financial Year 2012 (excluding the impact of the proposed Skywest Airlines acquisition and Tiger Australia joint venture), the uncertainty in economic conditions and the competitive environment precludes us from providing a profit guidance for the year.

BLM Extends Public Comment Period on Proposed Hydraulic Fracturing Rule
WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced today that it is extending the public comment period on its proposed revised rule to regulate hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas on public and Indian trust lands. Notice of the 60-day extension, which extends the comment period deadline to August 23, 2013, will be published in the Federal Register on Monday, June 10.
The high level of interest in the rule, which is the first update of these Federal oil and gas regulations since the 1980s, prompted the extension.
"Extending the comment period ensures that we'll have greater input from the public and from key stakeholders, including industry and environmental groups, Indian tribes, as well as other people who have hydraulic fracturing operations in their communities," said BLM Principal Deputy Director Neil Kornze. "This rulemaking process has been open at every step, and today's announcement underscores that fact."
The Department of the Interior held its first public forum on hydraulic fracturing in November 2010. Following that meeting and several others with tribal representatives, industry and others, the BLM released its first proposed rules in May 2012. During the comment period that followed, the BLM received more than 177,000 public comments and feedback that helped to inform the updated draft proposal, which was published May 25, 2013. The new proposal includes important safety standards, improves integration with existing state and tribal standards, and increases flexibility for oil and gas developers.
The revised rule supports the Obama Administration's commitment to an all-of-the-above approach to American energy by expanding domestic oil and gas production in order to make America energy self-reliant, while remaining true to a focus on promoting safe and responsible development on public lands.
Approximately 90 percent of wells drilled on Federal and Indian lands use hydraulic fracturing, but the BLM's current regulations governing hydraulic fracturing operations on public and Indian lands have been on the books since 1983 and were not written to address modern hydraulic fracturing activities. The revised proposed rule will modernize BLM's management of hydraulic fracturing operations, and help to establish baseline environmental safeguards for these operations across all public and Indian lands.
The updated draft proposal maintains the three main components of the initial proposal: requiring operators to disclose the chemicals they use in fracturing activities on public lands; improving assurances of well-bore integrity to verify that fluids used during fracturing operations are not contaminating groundwater; and confirming that oil and gas operators have a water management plan in place for handling fluids that flow back to the surface.
The BLM encourages the public to remain actively engaged in the rulemaking process by submitting comments on the revised proposed rule before August 23 in one of the following ways:
Mail: U.S. Department of the Interior, Director (630), Bureau of Land Management, Mail Stop 2134 LM, 1849 C St. NW, Washington, DC, 20240, Attention: 1004-AE26.
Personal or messenger delivery: Bureau of Land Management, 20 M. St. SE, Room 2134 LM, Attention: Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC 20003.
Online at the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments at this Website.
To read the proposed rule, click here.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

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

I don't like white lamps in the blue parts of that HUD. Dunno why, maybe because they're brighter than the letters. (so I notice them first and only then how much HP/ammo I have, or something)

aaaaah yes, map 14. aka one of the best city maps ever!
The contrast on that video was so high that all the demons looked as if they had doomguy's 'invulnerability eyes'. I kept expecting them not to die. But of course they did.
Great level.

Cute shoes but a bit narrow for a wide foot
"These shoes look really cute but unfortunately do not fit on my daughter's wide feet. The length looks about right but she couldn't even slip her feet into the shoe. So I wouldn't recommend these if your child has wide feet."
