Who are the Bugs?
An obscure Garage / Psyche band from 1987 who made one album for Big Beat at the tail end of the Rock-A-Billy Psychosis and the Garage Disease period and then left?
Was Lloyd Tripp from the much lauded Vibes on upright bass?
Were the Smith brothers really in the group?
Or is this another of the Big Beat spoofs?
Does it matter as all you need to know is that this is a very groovy album from the Dark Side, spiked with psyche sounds, blistering guitar solos and all in cavernous reverbs that could have been made anytime from 1966 to 1988.

When you started writing the series did you know where things would go? Were the majority of the twists and turns in your head at the beginning, or did they come later as you continued to write?
Thanks so much! I'm delighted that you enjoy the plot twists and turns. I do plan most of this out in advance — I'm a big outliner. But while the biggest twists were mostly things I knew either before I began the series or soon after I began, there were a few things that popped up and surprised me along the way! It's fun to strike the balance between what I knew was going to happen and what I never dreamed would happen.
When you started the series what was your inspiration? Did something specific spark the idea?
I was trying to think of how I could write for young adults. I grew up in a very small town and attended a very small school K-12, so in many ways I had an atypical high school experience. This made me think that I couldn't write for teens, because how did I know what their lives were really like? Then I thought, well, what would be a school even more unusual than mine? Evernight Academy sprang from that, and Bianca was born from my asking who would be the most interesting person to have studying there — the person who would be most conflicted by it.
What was the most challenging part of writing this series?
Striking the balance between the overall plot arc of the series and the need for each book to be a complete story that could stand on its own in some way.
What is one book that you find yourself constantly recommending to people? (I know that's hard, I'll let you name a few, if you prefer.)
A few YA books I push on everyone: HOW I LIVE NOW by Meg Rosoff; GOOD GIRLS by Laura Ruby; STEALING HEAVEN by Elizabeth Scott; anything by Kelley Armstrong; and of course THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins, though by now most people have heard of those with no help from me!
If you could be a paranormal creature, what would you pick?
I'd be a witch. All the power, all the glamour, and very few drawbacks now that burning at the stake is only a remote possibility. Plus you get to wear a lot of black. Very flattering.
If you could have one super power what would it be?
Invulnerability. Without that one, all the other superpowers are more or less useless. I don't want to fly if I'm not going to be invulnerable to lightning strikes!
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions! I can't wait to read Afterlife and share my thoughts with everyone!

Really brief entry before I hit the sack. I've been putting off this video for a looooooong time for obvious reasons. I actually filmed this a couple months ago while I was still in Japan. You may recognize some scenes from one of my previous videos.
I finally got a MacBook Pro (as I've mentioned in my V-blog recently) and finally figured out how to work the basics of Final Cut Pro X. I still have much to learn about this program but so far I am loving how quick it renders. :) It's a dream come true. As for the video editing, most of all the clips after when I turn on the lights have no been touched (#raw #nofilter #yadayada) to show the true colors of all the makeup products that I use.
And to answer any questions you may have: Yes, we did break up. I did film this not too long from the breakup. I am a happier & stronger person now. The end. Enjoy. :3

Every time Jude tries to get close to the skittish business woman, to take her in his arms, she thinks he's joking. Joking? Joking does not involve lots of cold-shower therapy. Time for new tactics.

And after that, she'll have no delusions about just how much he wants her...

There was alrdy a 3week Time Skip for Luffy to heal... The message Luffy sent is for the screw to meet up somewhere. I believe the tatoo could be of some use as well to this message. IF I remember correctly, first time they met Ace as the Strawhat, they were on the desert Island where Vivi is, Luffy having a tattoo simillar to Ace and showing it up on the photo could probably mean to meet there, even though I doubt ti since it's too far away.
Anyway, can't week for next week. Oda is messing with us with message over message haha.
For the people thinking time skip due to the 16 ring, It's just a way to end Whitebeard's era and starting a new one. It's unprobable thatt heer will eb a time skip due to Chopper being on the way already.

In his novels, stories and plays, Nikolai Gogol turned a sardonic eye on mid-19th century Russian society. His classic short story, The Overcoat has been adapted several times for stage and screen, even as a ballet by Rudolf Nureyev. In its latest incarnation, The Overcoat is a movement theater piece with no dialogue and with music by the soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich. A production of Toronto's CanStage Theater Company, it is making its U.S. premiere at the Belding Theater in Hartford's Bushnell Center. Critic Chris Rohmann has a review.
The Overcoat plays in the Belding Theater at the Bushnell, Hartford through January 30th.

The Green River Pirates boys basketball team played in their region tournament this past week at the Spartan Center in Castle Dale. They were matched up on Thursday with Manila and came away with the win. Friday evening against Duchesne they lead at the half but ended up just two points short at the end of the game. The final tally was Green River 50 and Duchesne 52.
Back in action on Saturday afternoon the Pirates led 26-22 at halftime over the team from Tabiona. The Pirates came out smoking in the second half and added four quick points to bring the score to 30-22 with 6:07 left in the third quarter. The Pirates upped their score with three baskets and led 36-26 with 3:09 left in the third quarter. Tabiona started to inch their way back into the game and at the end of the third quarter the score stood at 40-35 with the Pirates in the lead.
Into the fourth quarter the Pirates kept the Tigers at bay and added a basket to their tally. The Tigers added a basket and with 6:45 left in the fourth quarter the score was 42-37. Things became rather heated at this time and the Tabiona coach was slapped with a technical foul. Kevin Keele for Green River was brought to the line for the free shots. He scored on both of them and the total was now 46-37. Gabrin Ekker was fouled next for the Pirates and he sunk the two shots to bring the total to 48-37. The Tigers were beginning to show their frustration as they intentionally fouled Jason Luke. He missed his free throw and Ekker put in the two free shots for the flagrant foul.
Ekker was again fouled by the Tigers and drained the two free throws. So with 3:47 left to play the Pirates were on top 54-40. Luke was fouled but unable to convert on the free shots. Bowman Mitchell picked off the ball from the Tigers and brought it down the floor and was fouled on the shot. He made one free throw and missed the other. Lance Richards was also fouled but unable to add to the Pirate tally. On the other end of the floor Mitchell fouled out of the game. The Tigers strategy of fouling to stop the clock was used again as Ekker was fouled again where he made one of two shots. The Pirates led by 56-45 with 1:30 left to go. Ekker added two more foul shots and brought the Pirate total to 58. Luke was again fouled and came to the line where his foul shot shooting continued to plague him as the two shots went astray. With 12.6 seconds left in the game Richards was fouled and added to the Pirate total. The final score of the game was 60-46.
Winning this game led the Pirates into a game on Monday to determine if they will advance to the state tournament in Cedar City. The Green River Pirate team consists of Kedric Bayles, Jake Mecham, Lance Richards, Jared Johnson, Gabrin Ekker, Bowman Mitchell, Kevin Keele, Kody King, Jason Luke and Rocky Pace.

The Polar Vortex's bone-chilling grip on much of the U.S. has returned after a brief reprieve Monday. So natural gas prices are regaining some of the ground lost in yesterday's selloff.
At $4.94, the price of a futures contract for delivery in February rose 2% after earlier climbing as high as $5.12.
It's been a wild ride for traders. Temperatures plunged into the single digits across much of the U.S. Northeast last week, boosting demand for natural gas. As supplies fell, prices soared to hit the $5 mark on Frida, setting a new three-year record. On Monday, however, the bitter cold began to dissipate, which triggered profit taking.
Today's temperatures are have fallen and forecasters see more cold weather ahead, which should provide support for natural gas prices. Commerzbank analyst Eugen Weinberg told Barrons.com
Fundamentals in the natural gas market have improved markedly over the last month so the price will be well supported. This does not mean that it will get back to $5. $5 is bit overdone. But we expect the average price will stay at or above $4 for the year, which is much improved from three years ago when prices were below $3.
Today's rise in natural gas prices was a reprieve for ETF's linked to the commodity's price. United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG), which yesterday fell more than 5%, rose 1.6% on Tuesday to $23.74. It's an ever bigger lift to the leveraged VelocityShares 3X Long Natural Gas ETN (UGAZ), which climbed 3.5% to $29.59.
The move is also a boon for equities with skin in the natural-gas game. Chesapeake Energy (CHK) rose 2.3% to $26.63, while Devon Energy (DVN) rose at a more subdued 0.85% to $59.18. The group's ETF, First Trust ISE-Revere Natural Gas Index Fund (FCG), has climbed 1.1$ to $19.54.

The Inventory Growth Spread

Fisher College of Business Working Paper No. 201203-023
Charles A. Dice Center Working Paper No. 2012-023
Previous studies show that firms with low inventory growth outperform firms with high inventory growth in the cross-section of publicly traded firms. In addition, inventory investment is volatile and procyclical, and inventory-to-sales is persistent and countercyclical. We embed an inventory holding motive into the investment-based asset pricing framework by modeling inventory as a factor of production with convex and nonconvex adjustment costs. The augmented model simultaneously matches the large inventory growth spread in the data, as well as the time-series properties of the firm level capital investment, inventory investment, and inventory-to-sales. Our conditional single-factor model also implies that traditional unconditional factor models such as the CAPM should fail to explain the inventory growth spread, although not with the same large pricing errors observed in the data.

The Edmonton Oilers used to feast on the Minnesota North Stars. Over 14 seasons the Oilers were 27-7-11, but once they dropped the North, relocated to Dallas for the 1993/1994 season and became the Stars, they have owned the Oilers.
The Stars are 54-13-4-2 v. the Oilers since moving to Dallas. If you add in the playoffs, 23-10, they are a ridiculous 77-23-4-2 all-time against Edmonton. That is not typo.
Nine different Oiler head coaches have witnessed their team get dominated by the Stars over the past 18 1/3 seasons, so Ralph Krueger will be in tough to try and change this one-sided series.
The Oilers are the only western conference team that Glen Gulutzan, 5-0, has yet to lose against, and he'll try to continue that streak tonight.
The Stars have kept their supremacy over the Oilers through five different head coaches and numerous players. From Mike Modano, Ed Belfour and Sergei Zubov to today's group of Jamie Benn and Kari Lehtonen it doesn't seem to matter who plays for Dallas the Stars usually win.
The Stars enter Rexall on a three-game winning streak, and Benn is starting to heat up with four goals in those three victories. Jaromir Jagr scored his NHL-best 17th OT winner last Wednesday in Edmonton and after that game he said, "If you skate with them (Oilers) they will beat you, so you have to beat them along the boards."
Krueger should take that quote and show it to his players and then Steve Tambellini should also read it because it is clear how you beat the Oilers. Don't play run and gun with them. The Oilers have yet to figure out that they won't be able to carry the puck into the zone on every shift.
The Oilers are 3-for-23 on the powerplay since Shawn Horcoff broke his knuckle, and a big reason for that is their unwillingness to dump and chase the puck with the man advantage. They have continually turned the puck over at the blueline, because they won't chip and chase it.
If the Oilers are going to string together some wins during this five-game home stand they need to be willing to alter their game. They've only scored eight goals five-on-five so far this season, and unless that changes in the next quarter they could find themselves six or seven points out of the playoffs at the halfway mark of the season.
The Oilers need to start winning some one-on-one battles, and stop trying to play pretty, fancy hockey all the time. There is no doubt they have lots of skill in their top-two lines, but when you aren't producing highlight reel goals, you have to be able to produce some garbage ones, and so far this season the Oilers haven't shown the willingness to get their nose dirty.
That needs to start tonight if they hope to beat the Stars.
Eager-Vande Velde-Petrell
N. Schultz-J.Schultz
Chris Vande Velde wasn't at the morning skate, but he will play tonight and Ryan Smyth will take a seat in the pressbox for the first time as an Oiler since Ron Low made him a healthy scratch.
Smyth is a very emotional player and he loves the game, and he took the news very hard. He politely declined comment, but said he will speak tomorrow. It really doesn't matter what he says, because we should all understand that he isn't happy with the decision.
Kreuger isn't afraid to bench a player, rookie or veteran, and whether players like the decision or not, they will respect a coach who isn't afraid to make a tough decision. Krueger did hint that the schedule was a factor, and with the Oilers not playing again until Saturday giving Smyth the night off allows him five days rest between games.
I'd suggest it is way too early to write Smyth off. I'm amazed at how many people are suggesting he is finished as a player. Guys have slumps, players get off to slow starts, and while Smyth won't be the player he was ten years ago, it is way to premature to suggest he's no longer an NHLer.
- Jaromir Jagr is still a force in the NHL. He is 8th on the all-time points list with 1,653 and his work ethic is a major reason why. "I always felt when I was tired I should work a lot harder. I think tired is just in your mind. I'd rather feel strong and tired than rested and weak," Jagr told me when I asked about his training regime.
- If I was Steve Tambellini I'd look very hard at signing Jagr this summer. Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux raved about what they learned from his last season and Jamie Benn has already said the same this year.
- I asked Jagr about being a mentor and what he tries to teach the young offensive stars that he plays with.
"There not many players, maybe Gretzky and Lemieux, who were born to be great players and didn't have to watch anyone else. I think you always have to learn and watch older players. Maybe they (Gretzky and Lemieux) did, but they were great at a young age. If you don't listen to anybody and just do it your way, you will find out that you might get it but probably too late in your career. That is why I try to help those guys. What I've learned during my hockey career, those little details, I can tell them right away so they can learn at 22 and not have to wait another ten or fifteen years."
Are you telling me Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins, Gagner, Hemsky, Paajarvi and Yakupov couldn't learn a few things from Jagr. I would seriously look at a one-year contract with Jagr.
- Ryan Whitney will also sit tonight, and it should come as no surprisine that he is frustrated. I don't understand why people call players whiners when they state they are frustrated and want to play. Do you think the player is happy about not playing? Talking about it doesn't make them a whiner. Far from it.
"I'm very frustrated. I want to play. We got outshot 40-14 and I'm not playing, so I think that shows where their thought on me is. I don't really know what to say. He (Krueger) did say he wants to talk to me today, so I'm going to ask him what it takes to get back in the lineup," Whitney said regarding his second straight game in the pressbox.
- "He doesn't care. He wants to win. Whatever he thinks the best lineup for him to win is, is the one he is going to play. When I got scratched the first time against Vancouver he said those are the six D that gives us the best chance to win. I don't think he cares who you are. I just need to play better when I get a chance," Whitney said honestly when asked about Krueger's willingness to bench veterans.
- Whitney sitting out two straight games will have many wondering how long he remains in Edmonton. It seems likely that he will get moved at some point and Whitney didn't avoid the question when he was asked if his future in Edmonton was solid. "I would have to say that right now it's not looking that way. They are paying me a lot of money and I'm not playing. I like it here a lot. I like the guys and I like playing here, but I don't think they necessarily like me right now. I'd like to play. I'm just frustrated. I will not ask for a trade and it's not my place to ask. If anything they'd be looking to do it. Why would they pay me this much to just not play," said a very candid Whitney.
- Before you get too concerned about Eberle's goal scoring woes keep in mind he only had three goals in the first 16 games last year. He had three goals on 34 shots for a 9.1SH%. This year he has three goals in 12 games, and he is confident that once he scores one they will come in bunches.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Stars domination over the Oilers continues with a 2-1 win.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: The comment section regarding Smyth and Whitney will be more entertaining than the actual game.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: Last night Jaromir Jagr went to Strudwick's house for dinner. After sharing a few stories of their days in New York when Jagr was Strudwick's personal stick maker for six weeks (true story), they play NHL 13. They had a friendly wager on the game which resulted in a stunning Strudwick victory. In the post-game scrum Jagr honors his bet when asked about his game-winning goal.
"I learned that move from an old teammate of mine in New York. Jason Strudwick didn't score many goals, but he actually had really good hands. I used to watch him use that move in practice over and over, and I have to thank him for making me try it tonight."
Jagr's game winner didn't even come off his stick. He crossed centre and dumped the puck in. It bounced off the end boards into the low slot and ricocheted off Corey Potter's skate into the net. Jagr was completely straight-faced during his post-game scrum when he honoured his bet to mention Strudwick.

Never said you did or did not, but there were a lot. Do we really need 10 guys to ask Smyth how he feels about being benched? Because you know one guy from TSN, Sportsnet, CBC, Sun, Journal, 1260, 630 etc.. will have to make sure they ask him.
Spinning off this comment I would concur. Why do ALL the outlets need to ask the same question and what would you expect the answer to be ~He is happy~.
IMO the Media in Edmonton (including this site) contributes to the "piling on" and targeting underperforming players who end up getting run out of town. I dont understand the purpose of this. This only results in the devaluation of players either through the fact that they aren't playing well or the view that he has an "attitude problem".
Tencer last night during the pregame ran the Whitney clip then commented along the lines that Whitney didnt want to be here - which is NOT what he said at all.
February 13 2013, 11:47AM
Mine is still blacked out on Bell, Oilers said it should not be. Bell said it should be. Lets see if they can get this sorted before game time.
Check your guide folks and see if you can record or select it. Im thinking people on Bell in Edmonton might still be blacked out like me.
They lifted the blackout on Bell a few hours before the game!

Hario Buono V60 Electric Kettle!
We've gotten confirmation from our distributor of Hario products that they're bringing in, among other things, an electric version of the Buono V60 water kettle. As someone that loves the pouring qualities of the kettle, I often find myself heating water in another electric kettle first, then transferring that water to the Buono.
Transfer no longer needed!
Tuesday Morning Cup: 60% Costa Rica Don Mayo La Ponderosa Bourbon & 40% of Ethiopia Beloya Selection Eight
This morning, I brewed a batch in the V60 at home, then brought it here to the office. Since I had a lot of leftover batches lying around my kitchen, I combined the end of two batches to get an acceptable amount of coffee for my desired yield size. The coffees? Roughly 60% of Costa Rica Don Mayo La Ponderosa Bourbon and 40% of Ethiopia Beloya Selection Eight, both of which were kept on the lighter side of the roasting spectrum.

The Buckhorn District of the Boy Scouts of America held their Eagle Scout awards banquet March 16, at the Museum of The San Rafael. Bart Cox a member of the Buckhorn District Advancement Committee from Castle Dale Stake welcomed the Eagle Scouts, parents, leaders and friends to the 2013 Eagle Scout Banquet. This Eagle Scout Banquet was arranged to honor the accomplishments of 16 Eagle Scouts from Ferron, Huntington and Castle Dale LDS Stakes in Emery County. The invocation was given by Jeremiah Luke of Troop 903 Huntington Stake.
The posting of the Flag of the United States of America was accomplished by the Castle Dale Eagle Scouts of 2012. After the meal, catered by Drew Leroy of Food Ranch, Danna Gray the Buckhorn District Advancement Chairman from Huntington Stake introduced the Guest Speaker James Lawrence a native of Canada living in Utah.
Lawrence a World Record holder and a very athletic person is noted for his dedication to competing in Iron Man Triathlons. He is noted also for taking upon himself big challenges and completing them. James is a very good inspirational speaker for young people. He encourages them to set goals, to become prepared to reach their goal, life can be difficult at times but never give up.
One of Lawrence's first challenges came, as a young man, at the Calgary Stampede in Canada. There he accepted the challenge to enter a contest to see who could continuously ride a large ferris wheel for 10 days straight. The rules allowed for only two 10 minute breaks during the day and the rest of the time you had to sit on the ride and do nothing. You could not take anything with you to entertain yourself on the ride. The goal was for the rider to have absolute boredom for 10 days. The result was that he won $10,000 and learned a lot about himself, his capacity for boredom and the ability to control his mind. He lost his regular job. That was a turning point in his life.
Lawrence used this as an opportunity to travel to Utah, where he married and now has five children. He currently lives and trains in Lindon. He does not come from an athletic background. He said he was just average.
One day his wife encouraged him to do a four mile fun run with her. From that experience, he discovered how out of condition his body was. Barely surviving the four mile fun run, his wife then suggested that he should consider training to do a marathon. Lawrence spent five months of preparing for the marathon. On the day of the marathon he said, the experience was a disaster. He hated every step of it.
Lawrence went on to explain how he made up his mind that he was not going to be defeated or quit the race, but would better prepare his body and mind for the next marathon and later the triathlon.
Dayton Hayward, a young man with cerebral palsy participated with Lawrence in an Iron Man Triathlon at Lake Havasu, Ariz. Dayton was towed by Lawrence in an inflated raft for the swim, in a bicycle type trailer for the bicycle ride and the run. This was a lot of extra weight to pull during the triathlon. But he did it.
Lawrence described the physical muscle pain, the fatigue and exhaustion he experienced in some of those triathlons that he competed in. He never gave up. He always finished the race despite the hardships. He quoted, "If you think you can or think you can't. You are right."
In 2010, he set a goal to best the World Record of 16 Half-Iron Man 70.3 Triathlons run in one year. Lawrence did compete in 22 Half-Iron Man Triathlons and accomplished this World Record goal in 30 weeks. The Half-Iron Man Triathlon consists of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bicycle ride and a 13.1 mile run.
Lawrence's goal in 2012 was to compete in 30 Iron Man Triathlons in one year and set another World Record. The Iron Man Triathlon consists of swimming 2.4 Miles, biking 112 miles followed by a 26.2 mile run all without stopping except briefly for water and food.
At the Naples Triathlon he finished the full distance triathlon, and won the race's overall title with a time of 10 hours, 27 minutes and 46 seconds.
Lawrence has been competing in these triathlons to raise money for the building of dams in Africa. He is attempting to raise $5 million for the Quiet Way Foundation in a campaign called "Tri and Give a Dam." Quiet Way is a nonprofit organization and raises money to build dams to help provide fresh water to the people of Kenya.
Lawrence's nine year old daughter Lillie assisted her father by operating the computer for his slide show. The slide show was made up of scenes taken from Triathlons in which he competed.
Lawrence has traveled through Europe and throughout the United States to compete in Iron Man Triathlons. There were always people there to help him along the way. The Iron Man mantra is "just finishing is a victory."
Lawrence then told of a particular difficult triathlon in which James was the legs for Dayton Hayward. Only with the help of the Lord answering his fervent prayers was he able to finish the race. He did so in 16 hours and 40 minutes. It was a memorable day.
One of the lessons he learned was to allow people to help when help was needed. As a result of this incredible journey to complete 30 triathlons in one year his belief in the goodness of mankind, around the globe, was restored. Only he and his wife believed he could accomplish the 30 Triathlons in a year. All others said it couldn't be done.
Lawrence said that he reminds himself from time to time that no goal is too big. He then said, "If you believe with enough conviction, not knowing if or how. It is going to work out. With the right action it will. You must set goals and then take the appropriate action," said Lawrence.
Congratulations to all the young men that were able to become Eagle Scouts.
Miriam Sorensen, a member of the Buckhorn District Advancement Committee from Ferron Stake introduced each Eagle Scout as he received his award. The Eagle Scout Awards were handed out by Bart Cox, James Lawrence and Danna Gray. The gift of the US Flag was given by Dan Johnson and Mary Alice Johnson of the Elks Price Lodge. Each Eagle Scout honored at this banquet was given an eagle plaque, a certificate of achievement and an American Flag. The flag was a gift from the Elks Price Lodge 1550.
The names of the scouts receiving awards are as follows: Corbin Barnett-Troop 315; John T. Birch-Troop 395; Spencer Fauver-Troop 315; James Healey-Troop 300; Kody E. Holmes-Troop 385; Hunter W. Huntington-Troop 904; Dawson Jensen-Troop 315; James B. Jewkes-Troop 904; Spencer S. Labrum-Troop 315; Jeremiah E. Luke-Troop 903; Curtis Mason-Troop 315; P. McKlayn Moss-Troop 305; Austin J. Olsen-Troop 903; Jaden D. Olsen-Troop 930; Justan Potter-Troop 903; Jared A Shakespeare-Troop 930.

Commemorative Services are held on the 2nd Sunday of June and September of each year. All are welcome.
The McDougall Stoney Mission Church was built in 1875 and stands as the oldest building on the original site in Alberta.
From a very high Foot Hill we gazed on this prospect with admiration and wonder. Within three miles stood the grand old mountain, the wild goat and sheep sporting on its highest summit. At the foot of the hill, and in perfect ignorance of our presence, a band of buffalo were feeding on the richest pasture. To the right of us, and on the north bank of the river, lay the location which we have selected for our new mission. [Reverend George McDougall, May 28, 1873]
Travelling the 1A Highway between Cochrane and Exshaw, you will see a small white church sitting on 40 acres of natural grassland, overlooking the Bow River Valley and the Rocky Mountains. This is the site of Southern Alberta's first settlement, Morleyville.
At its peak, Morlelyville was home to over 200 people.Today a remnant of the settlement is a provincial historic site. The McDougall Stoney Mission Society are stewards of the site.
The mandate of the society is to promote a greater understanding of the story of the Morleyville Settlement and its place in the history of Alberta and Canada through the interpretation of the site to the public.

Skip to comments.Rat out a tax cheat, collect a reward
Posted on 03/02/2010 1:16:58 PM PST by Nachum
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If you knew coworkers, former bosses or exes who cheated on their taxes, would you turn them in? The Internal Revenue Service can make it worth your while.
As tax season nears, we all want to get as much money back from the IRS as possible. And while taking advantage of this year's new tax breaks will put some extra money in your pocket, snitching on a tax cheat could make you rich.
In a recent poll from the IRS Oversight Board, 13% of those surveyed think cheating is acceptable, up from 9% in 2008. As the recession puts the squeeze on household finances, the lure of fudging on a tax return is even greater.
(Excerpt) Read more at money.cnn.com ...
can I rat on rangle?
Then I point out Rangel and Geithner...how much money are they going to pay me for pointing out these tax cheats?
Holder and Geithner! OK, how much do I win?
what about turbo timmy....
Crud - I wuz going to call DIBS on Cheat'n Charlie....
Timmy G anyone?
This seems an awful lot like the old soviet program of ratting out neighbors who spoke out against the system. I guess marxists are marxists everywhere.
I wouldn't tell jack crap about anyone or anything......no, not even the time of day.
When they clean up their own house (Tiny Timmy Turbo, Rangle, etc.etc.) I might reconsider. Otherwise, if you can beat em out of a dime, more power to ya.
I have a few folks I do not care for.
Can I turn them in as tax cheats and watch as the IRS thugs come and give them a beat downs?
Ala Ruby Ridge?
I can't stand narcs.
"So far, the new incentives have been effective. The IRS has received tips from about 476 informants identifying 1,246 taxpayers in fiscal year 2008, the first full year the program was implemented."
This does not sound like very much when you also see that 13% of the population now think that evading taxes is ok. Moreover, the fact that this number has gone up from 9% (about a 40% increase) seems like the more interesting fact. The rate of evasion could exceed the enforcement efforts as a wave of civil disobedience is triggered by tax increases.
One thing about commies, they don't have any new tricks in their bags. Just slightly new labels for the same old tricks.
Like Winston said..."Do it to Julia!"
who is saddened at the thought that someone might report him.
"...received tips from about 476 informants identifying 1,246 taxpayers in fiscal year 2008..."
...alomst three perps per rat.
Block Captains are making a comeback.
If I was a pathetic worm like Tommy Daschle I'd be saddened that I'm Tommy Daschle.
Unless it's a clear and present danger to me and mine, I know nothing and see nothing.
I'd love to turn in Rangle, Dasshole, and TurboTaxTimmy.
Makes me wish I knew some tax cheats - but I dont know any democrats.
Maybe that will be one of the goals of OFA and Amerikorps will be. But it seems that it will be pretty hard for 0bamabots to infiltrate the private sector and small business. If ever there was a clash of cultures...
Snitches get stitches!!!
It looks like to me that if one rats on a tax cheat it would red flag the tattle tail of a possible tax cheat and give the IRS reason to audit the tattler too. I do not see a win situation for anyone...getting in bed with the IRS is a lot like sleeping unprotected with a prostitute, one never knows what one is going to bring home.
I turned in my former son-in-law once, I didn't get any money out of it, I did it for the pure enjoyment and I requested the I.R.S. to tell him who ratted him out. (I doubt that they did).
That, of course, is one of the more personal usages of a tyrannical and oppressive governmental effort to collect taxes under distraint. It lets the petty tyrants among us to act out as the "big boys" by turning in our fellow man to unrestrained efforts to ruin any "cheat" so identified.
The Founding Fathers of our nation designed a tax systems for the federal government which DENIED them the tyrannical power to collect taxes from individuals, personally and using distrain/force.
Now, the Progressives and their dupes continue the subversion of the constitution instituted in 1943 to defeat NAZISM: the "Voluntary" Individual Income Tax and Withholding.
The only relief from this tyranny which now mimics fascism, is a National Sales Tax and, or an assessment by state and census ...
The worst example of the dictatorial income tax are those citizens who use it to "get even" like some cave-man ancestor with a grudge against their fellow cave dweller(s) ... not that those of neolithic inclinations should be discrimated against as other than disadvantaged idiots, anyway ...

French Possessions
Bassas da India (0.1 sq mi, 0.2 sq km), a French possession since 1897, is an uninhabited volcanic atoll off the southeastern coast of Africa in the Mozambique channel.

Rental-car companies used to try harder to put you in the driver's seat with ease. Today, renting a car can expose you to every ill known to consumers, such as gotcha pricing and aggressive sales pitches for costly extras.
But you don't have to take it. Here are some car-rental hassles our readers have alerted us to and how to avoid them.
David Sullivan, of Washington, was happy to find an EZ-Pass toll-payment transponder in his Manchester, N.H., Hertz rental, and used it to pay two $1 tolls. But he felt duped when he was billed $9.50 for the privilege, thanks to "convenience fees" of $2.50 for every day of his rental if he used the EZ-Pass even once (with a maximum charge of $10 a month). Be aware that you'll pay a fee for every extra that you touch, including GPS navigation, satellite radio, and child safety seats.
Dispute any surprise charges with your credit-card company. Sullivan argued that he wasn't properly notified of the possible charges, and he says he got his money back. But treat a rental car as you would a hotel mini bar: Don't take any goodies without knowing the price. Ask about these possible hidden fees: late or early return of the car, going through an unmanned, electronic-only toll gate, road service if you run out of gas or lock your keys in the car, and administrative fees related to parking tickets and moving violations.
The rental agent might strongly urge you to take a loss damage waiver; for $60 to $250 a week it limits your liability for damages. Paul Lewis of Boston was recently given a choice of three plans by Fox Rent a Car in Las Vegas in such a way that not taking the coverage didn't seem to be an option. It was.
You might not need the LDW if your own auto insurance policy includes collision and/or comprehensive coverage or if you use a credit card that provides protection. Call your insurer and credit-card customer service to be sure. For example, your personal coverage might not be valid abroad. Make sure that your policy covers rentals and business travel and that it pays the "full value" of a loss, administrative fees, towing, and "loss of use." Also, your credit card might not cover a second driver or comprehensive claims (such as fire, theft, and vandalism). If you find big coverage gaps, consider taking the LDW, and if you do, ask whether the coverage is effective if you drive across state lines.
It's a good idea to protect yourself against possible damage claims by the rental company. Eugene Axelrod, of Plymouth, Mich., was billed $304 for "damage" after he dropped off an Avis rental in Lyon, France, at the locked return lot before business hours.
Always pay by credit card so that you can dispute inaccurate charges. That's what Axelrod did, and he got the charges removed. Protect yourself by fully inspecting the car when you pick it up. Note any damage on your paperwork, and ask for a signed, dated copy. Do the same at drop-off. If it's before or after business hours, take photos to document the car's condition.
If you don't return the car with a full tank, you'll pay as much as $8 per gallon to have the rental agency fill 'er up. Other gas overpricing might not be so obvious. For example, Hertz's fuel-purchase option—buy a full tank at the prevailing local per-gallon price—might seem like a good deal, but you pay for a whole tank even if you use only a fraction of it.
Always pump it yourself before drop-off.
In good economic years, agencies had more cars than they could rent. Now inventories are tighter, so don't expect to be offered a roomier car than the one you reserved for no extra cost. Worse, agents might try to talk you into taking a costlier car.
If the agent talks down a model in your size class, ask about other cars in the same group. Ronald Laugen, of The Woodlands, Texas, tells of an Enterprise agent in San Diego who tried to get him to upgrade from the basic Chevy he'd chosen to a larger car for $7 more per day. "I asked, 'What about those loaded compact Kia EXs over there?'" Laugen recalls. He got a Kia at the lower price.

For Teen Fleeing War-Torn Donetsk, A Safe Haven in New City

Five years ago, Alona Druzhynina didn't know she was Jewish. Now, she's working for JDC in Ukraine, working to get clothes, food, and other necessary supplies to elderly Jews caught in the conflict zone in the eastern part of the country.
When fighting broke out in Donetsk between the government and separatist forces last year, Raisa Libenson believed she could stay with her family in their house by the airport.
Despite her own battle with cancer and struggles as the single mother of a preteen with immune deficiencies and chronic respiratory issues, Marina Kasyanov is a portrait of optimism and grace.

Rebounding in Context
Accounting for Teammates
by Dan Feldman
Let's try something different today and start with the conclusion:
An analysis of the rebounding abilities of the NBA's 25 best rebounders' floormates indicates Kendrick Perkins, Damion James, Joakim Noah and Matt Barnes could be underrated rebounders. That same analysis indicates Kevin Love, Jeremy Evans, Landry Fields and Reggie Evans could be overrated rebounders.
Now, how did I get there?
Nature of rebounding
Rebounding is a strange measure. Unlike any other major statistical categories, players actively attempt to accumulate rebounds at the expense of their teammates accumulating rebounds.
Of course, ballhogs exist, but you never see a player actually steal the ball from a teammate in order to score more. Rebounding is different, though. If you can get a rebound, you almost always do. It doesn't matter whether your teammates or opponents are in the way. See ball, get ball.
Therefore, a player will see his rebounding numbers benefit from playing with poor rebounding teammates. Conversely, a player will see rebounding numbers suffer from playing with superior rebounding teammates.
When evaluating players' contributions on the glass, don't evaluate just the players, but also their teams.
Applying numbers
To identify a quality rebounder, the first element to consider is whether that player grabs a lot of rebounds himself. Of course, if a quality rebounder plays with teammates who rebound even better than he does, he might not grab many rebounds himself. In a thorough investigation, that's worth exploring. For our purposes, we'll look at just the 25 best rebounders in the NBA.
How did I rank the best rebounders in the league? By how many percentage points each player's total rebound rate was above his position's average, as listed at HoopData. I believe a shooting guard with a rebound rate of 9.0 (average rebound rate for a shooting guard: 7.0) is a more valuable rebounder than a center with a rebound rate of 11.0 (average rebound rate for a center: 14.9).
For each of the NBA's best 25 rebounders (minimum 100 minutes), I charted his rebound rate relative to his position's average. Then, using lineup data from BasketballValue.com, I found the average rebound rate of his floormates (weighted by playing time with the player). The final step was comparing his floormates' rebound rate to the average rebound rate of a lineup (not including that player's position).
For example, the average rebound rate for a power forward is 13.8. An average lineup will post a rebound rate of 50.0.* Therefore, an average power forward's floormates are expected to have a rebound rate of 36.2 (50.0-13.8). If a power forward has a rebound rate of 15.8 and his floormates have a rebound rate of 35.2, the last two columns of the chart would appear: 2.0 and -1.0.
*Using HoopData's average rebound rate for each position gives a lineup with an average rebound rate of 50.5. I'm not sure whether that stems from rounding or not weighting each player by the number of rebounds available while he was on the court, but that shouldn't significantly affect this analysis. I'm not looking for conclusions on rebounders, just indicators.
Here's how the top 25 rebounders and their floormates stack up in total rebound rate above average. The lower the number in the right-most column, the more likely a player is overrated--and the higher, the more like he's underrated.
What about the potentially underrated rebounders on the list? A common thread between them provides a clue about a simpler method for evaluating rebounding.
Eye-test identification of underrated rebounders
The two best rebounders who play with above-average-rebounding floormates are the Bulls' Joakim Noah and the Lakers' Matt Barnes. Who are the two best rebounding teams in the league? You guessed it--the Bulls and Lakers.
Two other players I analyzed--the Magic's Quentin Richardson and the Bulls' Omer Asik--played with floormates with a total rebound rate just 0.1 percentage points below average. As noted, the Bulls have the league's best rebound rate. The Magic rank third.
I don't think it's coincidence that four of the six players most likely to be underrated rebounders play for the best three rebounding teams. It appears logical. For a team to rank highly in rebound rate, it must have good rebounders. The best rebounders on those high-ranking teams will steal rebounds from their teammates, even if the teammates are also capable of rebounding well.
I think this provides a way to evaluate players using the same logic presented in the previous section without running the numbers for each of them.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say anyone who's not the primary rebounder--or for a team that plays its starters and reserves mostly in units, anyone who's not the primary rebounder among the backups--but is a good rebounder on a good rebounding team could be underrated. A quick look at last season's best rebounding teams bears that out.
The Cavaliers led the NBA in total rebound rate, and they experienced a significant roster overhaul during the summer. J.J. Hickson remained on the team, and his rebound rate jumped from 14.1 to a career-high 16.6 this year.
The Grizzlies (second in rebounding last year) didn't see their roster change much, and neither did the Spurs (third in rebounding), although Roger Mason left San Antonio for the Knicks. He's mostly been a flop in New York, but his rebound rate went from 6.3 to a career-high 8.8.
Similar situations occurred with the Magic (fourth in rebound rate). Barnes signed with the Lakers, and his rebound rate climbed from 12.3 to 13,4. Orlando traded Rashard Lewis to the Wizards, and his rebound rate with Washington is his best since he was a 24-year-old Seattle SuperSonic.
Basically, if you want to get a rough idea of which players might be underrated without running the numbers, this is how you'd look. You might miss candidates like Kendrick Perkins or Damion James, but it's a start.
Inconclusive data
These numbers point to certain players being underrated rebounders and other being overrated rebounders. The numbers don't say that conclusively, though.
I can't say for certain those who play with above-average-rebounding floormates are underrated and those who play with below-average-rebounding courtmates are overrated. Perhaps, the rebound rates of the potentially underrated rebounders' floormates are inflated by playing with poor rebounders at other times. Maybe the potentially overrated rebounders take all their rebounds from their opponents, and their courtmates are just that bad. I don't know.
But I do know that if I ran a team that was looking for rebounding help, I'd take an extra look anyone with above-average rebounding numbers who played with other above-average rebounders. With teams cutting their budgets and limiting scouting, I'd commit resources to determining whether a trained eye sees rebounding talent that doesn't translate into rebounds--yet--in those players.
It's not a solution, but it's a head start.

I thought that the general rule of thumb was that DR% may be affected by team-mates much more so than OR%? Just curious why you looked at TR%?

Yeah, I think the next several seasons will be the Taran and Bobby Moynihan show, and I'm not mad at it.
I feel like early on when he first started on the show he had a lot of air time, like with the Unos sketch and the Of Mice and Men sketch, but not really so much his last couple of seasons on the show.
I guess they will keep him, especially now that Paul Brittain is gone, but I don't know about him being the future of the show.
Drunk Uncle.
I rest my case.
I laughed a lot this week even though they weren't so many conceptual/"timeless" sketches. I feel like the writers have done a better job lately getting in more jokes. There seems to be less wasted expositional dialogue even in sketches that aren't all that original. That helps me enjoy a show when something like THe Zooey Deschanel show seems like a dud but has some funny or odd references.
Also, agree with Brasky on Bobby Moynihan. I still laugh at his CBB appearance as Fagin Platt but on SNL there is less room for him to be funny except WU. Hopefully they can get him some better, "deeper" (I realize this is a sketch show) characters to play.
I've always enjoyed Anthony Crispino and his reliable sources.
I have four words for you all:
SNL is reportedly still auditioning and considering adding new people to the cast:
Also, here are the Maya Rudolph promos:
From that article Brasky linked:
Anyone know this lineup? Did it include James Adomian and/or Jet Eveleth?Earlier this week at The PIT, about a dozen people auditioned for Lorne Michaels, Seth Meyers, and other producers of the show. The lineup included local performers from major NYC theaters such as UCB as well as folks flown in from Chicago and LA.
A while back, James replied to a tweet that I sent him and said that "after auditioning for SNL twice, I kind of got the point and I am now only offer-only", so take that for whatever it's worth.
Speaking of Adomian, when was the last time SNL had an openly-gay cast member?
Is Jay Pharoah out? Because the only reasonable explanation for him still being in the cast is that he's fucking Lorne Michaels.
Comedy is funny!
The serious answer is Terry Sweeney in the '85-'86 season. I believe that Danitra Vance, who is now deceased, was a lesbian as well, I don't know how "open" she was about it.
Guys- please only post names of people we don't like, otherwise this is very offensive.
At this point I doubt if Fred Armisen could do a convincing Fred Armisen impression.
Who was Abby supposed to be in the "What Up With That" sketch? Debbie Gibson from the "Electric Youth" video?

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi police in Mosul say 31 militants and 10 police have been killed in clashes since late Wednesday, marking a sharp increase in the death toll in the northern city.
Two police officials, who provided the casualty figures, say the fighting began Wednesday night and had died down by late Thursday morning.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
The fighting comes amid growing unrest in Iraq since fighting broke out in the northern town of Hawija during a security crackdown on a protest encampment on Tuesday.

seafloor spreading
Introductionseafloor spreading, theory of lithospheric evolution that holds that the ocean floors are spreading outward from vast underwater ridges. First proposed in the early 1960s by the American geologist Harry H. Hess, its major tenets gave great support to the theory of continental drift and provided a conceptual base for the development of plate tectonics.
