15 Toughest Interview Questions (and Answers!)
Tania Khadder | GovCentral
"He was completely incompetent, and a nightmare to work with, which is why I've moved on"
Remember: if you get the job, the person interviewing you will some day be your previous boss. The last thing they want is to hire someone who they know is going to badmouth them some day. Instead of trashing your former employer, stay positive, and focus on what you learned from him (no matter how awful he really was).
Good answer:
"My last boss taught me the importance of time management – he didn't pull any punches, and was extremely deadline-driven. His no-nonsense attitude pushed me to work harder, and to meet deadlines I never even thought were possible."

Gods, ghosts and men
Pacific arts from the National Gallery of Australia
10 October 2008 – 11 January 2009 | Orde Poynton Gallery and Project Gallery
Introduction | Article | Selected works | Events
Kaipel Ka Papua New Guinea
Six to six shield 1990–95 wood, paint, wire, rattan 148.0 x 47.0 x 12.0 cm National Gallery of Australia, Canberra more detail
Gods, Ghosts and men introduces the visitor to the richness and diversity of the traditional sculptural arts in the Pacific region and provides a rare insight into the National Gallery of Australia's collection of over two thousand works from the region. The exhibition will include objects from Max Ernst's private collection of nonwestern art and a number of iconic objects, such as the Ambum stone from Papua New Guinea and the Double figure from a housepost [To-reri uno] from Lake Sentani, Papua New Guinea.
The over 75 works in Gods, ghosts and men, are the husks, the physical elements, of rituals and festive events – which are still remarkably moving even though they are now silent. One such work is the bridal veil (ambusap) with its painstakingly applied shell decorations. The veil formed a major part of a series of adornments a bride would wear for the important event of entering her husband's house for the first time. How the wearer of this particular veil (presumably the envy of other women in the community for wearing such finery) must have felt upon this occasion in her life we cannot guess at, yet the work itself, its flowing intricacy, conveys a sense of elegance befitting the event it was made for.
In bright comparison to the ambusap, Kaipel Ka's Six 2 six shield highlights the richness and vitality of contemporary Pacific arts. The shield is actually quite old with a pecked design below its more recently painted surface. Ka has produced series of shields with identical designs for warring groups, maintaining the collective identity of the fight group in much the same way football colours are worn. The shield depicts two birds of paradise perched upon a skull with glaring eyes and below is the slogan 'six 2 six' which, in the Wahgi Valley area, is an invitation to party all night long; although, in this context, it has become an aggressive statement intended to unnerve the opponent – we will fight you from dawn until dusk, six to six.
Gods, ghosts and men will open at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra only from 10 October 2008 until 11 January 2009

Skip to comments.$100K in jewelry stolen from Calif. Rep. Issa home
Posted on 12/07/2012 9:27:41 AM PST by lowbridge
VISTA, Calif. San Diego County authorities say $100,000 worth of jewelry has been stolen in a burglary at the home of California U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa.
U-T San Diego says more than 50 items, including watches, rings, earrings and bracelets, were taken from the Vista home on Nov. 29. No arrests have been made.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Any FRp'rs have $ 100,000.00 in jewelry layin' around for the takin' ??? Just askin'
Guy should get one of those car alarms...
There's a jeweler's kid in Richardson, Texas that I put through medical school.
Buy a LOJACK sir!
You beat me to the punchline!
Heh heh.....he should have stored his valuables in his car.
Bet some Freepers have that much tied up in guns.
Just don't leave them layin' around.
That was the year I bought gold for all the adult female relatives (and especially Mrs. Joe) for Christmas. Gold was at roughly $300 then, and the jewelry has appreciated significantly in value.
I can't help wondering if this has some connection to Issa's investigation of Holder and Obama. Maybe they were after his hard drive, to see what he had stored on it. If so, can't blame the burglars for making a little personal profit as well as disguising their real purpose.
Bad things happen to people who cross the Dixie Mafia or the Chicago Mob.
And bunkers among other "Prepper" Items! Don't forget a good CB Radio so we can communicate....the code is "Samuel Prescott rides again" ;)
Who the hell gets robbed of that much jewelry in this day and age.
I can appreciate your cynicism but it is not always possible to sell jewelry at "a huge profit" a lot of time pieces have sentimental value as they are heirlooms and the appraisal/insurance value often is not what you can actually sell the item for.
and there are people around who have some nice pieces that are usually handed down generation to generation not purchased new
calculating value of guns and the large supply of ammo in the house.......what is the price of ammo is it is banned?
Could be simple theft, but I didn't see anyone even propose that _they_ are trying to send a message to Issa.
Chicago gets things done w/ threats and intimidation, first; then killings...
Old Darrell must be doing pretty good to have $100,000 dollars in Jewelry lying around.
This was my FIRST thought when reading the headline.
Does Issa have any kids? If not, this might be the dead fish "message" from the administration.
The message is "Leave Benghazi alone".
Jewelry means nothing to me.
Guns and the right to own them mean a lot.
"I cant help wondering if this has some connection to Issas investigation of Holder and Obama..."
It is rather curious isn't it? Break in looking for something on Issa and make it look like another everyday crime. Take the family jewels....tell me that wouldn't be sending a message from the Chicagocrooks.
Obama will stop at nothing to harm those who get in his way.
Q: It is only wealth redistribution. What's the problem?
A: Thou shalt not steal. The government hates competition.
Sixty gold one-ounce coins such as Krugerrands would equal $100,000. They would form a stack you could hide inside a paper towel tube. That's just the gold melt value. Jewelry would be worth even more, hence, would be even more compact.
its impossible for me to see how in any respect, something like this is not construed as a personal threat to the congressman....and that undoubtedly others...?Boehner? may well have had their own threatening experiences that probably have not made the papers.

|In response to Re: washing machine trouble
: I live in a first floor flat and our washing machine pratically jumps around the room when going through a spin cycle. I am worried about the people in the flat below complaining (they have done before) and that the machine is going to pull itself off the wall. We make sure that we drain it after use (opening the little plug on the front of the machine)
: Is there anything we can do to stop it moving?
:I don't know anybody that hasn't had a jumping CLOTHES WASHING machine at some time or other. Is this your first one? First off the machine has to be level . Borrow a level to check it out. (Just because it sits on the floor nicely with no wobble doesn't necessarily mean it is level- your floor might slope) There are usually adjustable- screw out levelers on the corners of the machine. If there aren't any adjustable pods on yours then you have to improvise with wood strips for instance (shingles work good) Once you are good and STABLE and level you should see a immediate improvement in your machine not doing the stroll. However sometimes your machine may not distribute its load evenly in the whirler thingy. In which case you will have to do it manually-ungob the clothes and sprinkle them around evenly. If that doesn't help my next act would be to drag it behind my tractor for a day and a half. You might want to wait for more advice to come down the pike first though. By the way is this washer bolted to the wall or something? Big mistake if so -- luck to you-Big Sal

Woman severely injured in car accident identified
March 29, 2013
A woman severely injured in an car accident just before noon Monday near North San Juan has been identified.
Cheryl Kelley, 58, a North San Juan resident, was traveling at an undetermined speed southbound on Highway 49 near Sweetland Road at 11:34 a.m, according to a release by California Highway Patrol.
Kelley reportedly lost control of the vehicle — a 2006 Toyota Tacoma truck — and drifted to the right and off the west roadway edge of Highway 49. The left front of the truck struck a large tree trunk, which caused major damage to the vehicle and severe injury to the driver.
The driver was pinned in the vehicle while the fire personnel cut out the roof and doors of the truck to extricate her. Kelley was then flown via helicopter to Sutter Roseville Hospital.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Kelley was listed in critical condition, according to Robin Montgomery, Sutter-Roseville hospital spokeswoman.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation.

Museum reaches out to younger generation with interactive site.
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — A Slovak-born Jew, Manny Mittelman, was 17 in 1942 when he was taken from his home to a Nazi concentration camp in Poland.
Three months later he was shipped to Auschwitz-Birchenau, the largest of all the death camps, where a million Jews died in the gas chambers.
Starvation and dehydration also claimed many. When it rained, prisoners fell to the ground to try to suck up water. Others drank their own urine. Mittelman was so delirious from lack of food and water that he said his mind was dead.
STORY: Historians race to collect survivor stories
STORY: Israel honors 6 million Holocaust victims
In 1945, Mittelman and others were taken on a three-day death march to Gleiwitz, a sub-camp 30 miles away. Half the prisoners dropped dead along the way or were shot. Mittelman survived three years in the camps, as did two brothers and a sister, who also were at Auschwitz.
The Nazis shot his parents and three other siblings were shot in Poland in 1943. Of the 100 or so members of his extended family, all but about 15 died in the Holocaust. How and why he remained alive is an eternal mystery.
"I am thankful to the Lord that it happened," said the deeply religious Mittelman, who turned 88 Saturday. "But why he picked me out of 6 million? I have no answer. There is no answer that a human being would understand."
The Southfield, Mich., man's harrowing story is among the 400 oral histories collected in the new interactive online exhibit Portraits of Honor: Our Michigan Holocaust Survivors.
The website www.PortraitsofHonor.org, a companion to a permanent exhibit at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, Mich., offers access to a searchable database of survivor interviews, maps, photographs, audio messages and a trove of authoritative historical information about the Holocaust.
While many online educational resources chronicle stories of the Holocaust, including the Voice/Vision Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Portraits of Honor appears unique in its user-friendly interface, its accessibility from any computer and the way the layers of information allow viewers to go as deep as they like into the subject.
The database is searchable by name as well as experience, including the categories of "death camps," "escape," "child survivors," "labor camps" and others.
The technology opens a new front in educating the public about the dangers of bigotry and the heinous crimes of the Holocaust.
"Portraits of Honor is extremely accessible and user-friendly, especially for the younger generation and students," said Scott Miller, director of curatorial affairs for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. "It is especially important that the younger generation is comfortable with this technology."
In December, the Holocaust Memorial Center also launched a companion passport card reader system to forge a bond between visitors and survivors.
Museum goers are given a passport with the name and photo of a survivor and a summary of their Holocaust experience. The passport includes a scannable QR code that links to a full biography.
Real people's stories
The ability of online technology to enhance the message of remembrance was on display last week at the center as two Detroit-area teens sat at a computer keyboard exploring the Portraits of Honor exhibit. The computer is linked to a large screen that allows other visitors to read along.
"It was a really good way to learn their stories," said Natalie Moesta, 16. "It made me feel more connected to the people. It touches you."
The exhibit and website grew out of an initiative to document survivor stories started in 1999 by Charles Silow, a metro Detroit psychologist and child of Holocaust survivors.
Silow, director of the Program for Holocaust Survivors and Families of Metro Detroit, said an additional 100 interviews will be added to the archive this year.
He estimated that Michigan has 750 survivors, including not only those imprisoned in camps but also those the Nazis or their collaborators displaced, persecuted or discriminated against.
"Every survivor story is unique, and every experience is different," Silow said. "Unfortunately, every week we lose survivors. The older ones are concentrated in their mid- to late 80s and the younger ones in their 70s. It's a race against time."
A rescued baby
Miriam Ferber (née Monczyk) was born in Sosnowiec, Poland, in 1942. Seven months later, her family was forced into the Srodula ghetto, but her parents arranged with their Catholic neighbors, Josef and Stanislawa Laczkowski, to take their daughter for safekeeping.
One day, Stanislawa Laczkowski obtained a Star of David and walked into the ghetto with empty arms and out with Ferber.
Ferber lived as a member of her new family. Her parents and brother perished in the Holocaust.
When Ferber was 3, her new parents were arrested for harboring a Jewish child, but Stanislawa Laczkowski fought like a tiger, convincing the authorities that the little girl was the illegitimate child of her own daughter.
Still, Josef Laczkowski was sent to a concentration camp in Austria, where he died of typhus.
Baptized and raised a Catholic, Ferber was 15 when her mother told her the truth about her past. Ferber was relieved, having always suspected she was Jewish. She left Poland at 19, eventually landing in New York and later coming to Detroit, where she met her husband, Fred Ferber, at a Holocaust survivor dinner dance.
Mental scars remain. The trauma of separating from her Polish Catholic mother haunts her to this day, and she suffers from what she calls "an identity crisis."
Though she embraced her Jewish roots, she retained strong feelings for her Catholic upbringing and remains close with members of the family that saved her.
Ferber is especially proud that Portraits of Honor helps memorialize the non-Jews who risked their lives to save others, a story she believes isn't told enough.
"My story honors these righteous people," she said. "Even some Jewish people don't recognize it. But these people jeopardized their lives. My Polish mother lost her husband and ruined the reputation of her daughter to save my life."
'I'm alive, thank God'
Reading the Portraits of Honor interviews is a sobering experience. But what shines through so many of the stories is the resiliency of the survivors, the way in the face of unimaginable evil so many were able to build new lives.
Yes, they have bitterness and anger at times, but more often pleas for sanity, for hope, for love.
Mittelman recalled a night in 1944 when he and fellow prisoners were watching flames shoot out of the crematorium, discussing their fate. One man shocked the others by saying he was happy at Auschwitz.
"I am happy because if I wouldn't be happy I would still be in Auschwitz," the man explained.
Mittelman never forgot this. He married his wife, Bessie, in Switzerland in 1948 and came to Michigan in 1954, where he made his living as a heating and cooling contractor. The couple have six children, 22 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren.
In his Portraits of Honor interview, he recalls being in an airport once when a flight was canceled. Everyone was upset, angry, yelling.
Mittelman retreated to a corner, sitting quietly. A fellow passenger approached and asked how he could remain so calm.
"I'm a Holocaust survivor," he replied. "I close my eyes and think, 'I'm in Auschwitz!' Then I open my eyes and say to myself, 'I'm not in Auschwitz! I'm a free man. I'm in America. I'm alive, thank God. I'm in an airport. I have a roof over my head. I have food. There will be another flight.'
"Auschwitz taught me it's not the end of the world. There is a tomorrow."

Key components such as Facebook (FB), SINA Corp. (SINA) and LinkedIn (LNKD) are down by 6% or more. Other high-flying sectors like biotechnology are being dumped Tuesday. There's not much to see in terms of company-specific news.

Skip to comments.Bishop's ban ignites church-state debate
Posted on 01/11/2004 6:15:18 PM PST by Valin
Milwaukee- A Roman Catholic bishop who waded into politics with a decree that lawmakers who support abortion rights can no longer receive Holy Communion has ignited a debate over the separation of church and state.
Bishop Raymond Burke of La Crosse cited Vatican doctrine, canon law and teachings by the U.S. bishops in an announcement telling diocesan priests to withhold Communion from such lawmakers until they "publicly renounce" their support of abortion rights.
"This is about as stark a decree to come down against Catholic politicians as we've seen in recent history," said Barry Lynn, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.
"The problem with it is that elected officials have to represent people of all faiths and none and not adhere to one religious demand like the bishop's," he said.
The Vatican and U.S. bishops have for years urged Catholic legislators to consider their faith when they vote, and a task force of bishops is weighing whether to recommend sanctions for Catholic politicians who support policies contrary to church teachings.
In November, Burke wrote to at least three Catholic lawmakers, saying they risked being forbidden from taking the sacrament by continuing to vote for measures he termed anti-life, including abortion and euthanasia.
Democratic U.S. Rep. David Obey, who received a letter from Burke, said Friday that he respects the oath he took to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
Obey said Burke can instruct him on faith and morals in his private life but should use "persuasion, not dictation" to affect his political votes. He said Burke had "crossed the line into unacceptable territory."
State Senate Minority Leader Jon Erpenbach, a Democrat who was raised Catholic but is no longer practicing, expressed a similar view.
"Dictating public policy for people of all faiths by holding sacraments hostage from those who believe does not sound right," Erpenbach said.
Burke has also been criticized by some Catholic scholars.
Dan Maguire, a professor of theology at the Jesuit Marquette University in Milwaukee, called Burke a "fanatic" who has embarrassed the Catholic Church by using bullying tactics.

And since when is murder a religious issue?
Thanks for donating to Free Republic!
Move your locale up the leaderboard!
Any wayward politician who doesn't like having the Bishop withhold Communion can quit. It's all a matter of private conscience, and if a politician is of a mind that the Catholic church is intolerable, he should keep that in his private life, check out and move on.
Even complaining about it in public is a violation of church/state theory. After all, who you gonna' call, the Speaker of the House, or maybe John Ashcroft, to go tell the Bishop to lay off?
These baby-eaters who want to stay in good stead with the Catholic church are a bunch of whiners who appear to have been taught the wrong lessons by the nuns.
Baloney. It's a matter of honesty, nothing more. If a politician is going to claim to be (Anglican|Buddhist|Catholic|...) he should act like it. The voters can decide whether that's what they want to elect.
Yeah, the church has such "control" that half the Catholics in Congress support abortion.
This is not about control. If one wants to call himself a Catholic, he cannot do that if his public stances oppose Catholicism.
He is free to leave Catholicism or change his view.
Barry Lynn should keep quiet. There is no "debate" here, except in the minds of secular humanists. The Catholic Church has the right to enforce their laws. I am confident that God is not pleased with the pro-abortion stands of these politicians. This article makes it sound as if the Bishop has broken some Constitutional law.
The real battle in America in the 21st century is between secular humanists and Christians. This article gives a not-so-subtle hint about where the radical left wants to take this war - using force against churches that don't tow the PC line.
What does the "church-state separation" have to do with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?
Hey, I didn't even have to spin that one!
And having public policy dictate the moral teachings of a religion is one of the reasons people came to the Americas from Europe in the first place, dips***.
Some of these CINO politicians will have to make a choice. Either they align their conscience with the moral teachings of the religion they belong to, or leave. They cannot have it both ways.
He didn't "wade." He kicked down the door. And it's about time.
Does this sound ominous to anyone else? Almost as if the Congressman is warning the Bishop. The opening line of the article sounds as if the Bishop had entered territory he had no right to enter.
I'm telling you, within most of our lifetimes there will be a showdown between church and state. Not just the Catholic Church, but Protestants/evangelicals as well. Too many leftists in this country worship government power as God. And this God will brook no rivals. Be prayed up and ready.
the problem really is an elected official who will not inform his conscience nor conduct himself according to it.
Does the Bill of Rights fit in here, anywhere?
This is great. Sometimes there has to be a separation of state and Church. In other words, a time comes to obey God rather than man.... even the man that elected you.
I'm not a Catholic, but in my opinion it has nothing at all to do with that. Christ laid down specific procedures to go through with a wayward brother. If all else fails the person is to be treated "like a tax collector." God wants members of his church to behave in a certain way while on earth. I have no idea if Congressman Obey truly belives or not - and that may be his biggest problem.
It's not blackmail; no one is forced to belong to the Catholic Church.
Catholic politicians who openly support and vote for abortion give other Catholics the impression that abortion is just dandy.
Abortion is a violation of the moral law and is condemned by the Catholic Church. So the Church, in order to prevent the scandal of a Catholic politician contravening a Church law, publicly, is beginning to say that Catholic politicians are free to vote for abortion, but are no longer free to call themselves Catholics.
Life's full of all kinds of choices, some easy some painful. This is a painful one, but politicians must make it.
It is not blackmail. The Catholic church has a responsibility. To turn and look away from one who claims to be a member then have that same person proceed to go against the church's moral teachings is akin to being an accessory to a crime.
Technically, procuring an abortion applies to abortionists, clinic assistants, and the woman procuring the abortion.
But, legislating to make abortion possible is surely only a half-step of separation from procurement.
If a Catholic politician is concerned that his faith prohibits him from representing all of his constituents, he should renounce Catholicism. Or, he should realize that unborn fetuses are also his constituents, and he is not representing them by enabling their extermination.
renounce his pretense to Catholicism : )
At least the Bishop has not called on a cabal of Catholics to impose Catholic policies on the people of the United States against their will as recorded in their laws, which is how we got the abortion regime in the first place, from a "Supreme" cabal of secularists.
Mr. Erpenbach is no doubt happy to have public policy dictated by unelected judges, but it's wrong for a Bishop to ask Catholic politicians to stand by the teaching of their Church and let the voters decide. The implication is that a Catholic politician who does oppose abortion is somehow a tool of sinister control-hungry interests -- unlike Mr. Erpenbach, none of whose views whatsoever are influenced by anything like social pressure or the desire to fit in with the right sort of people or the influence of pro-abortion groups in his party.
It's no doubt tough to be denied the sacraments. It's also tough to defy the Church of Abortion and be described in the media as a "fanatic" and bully by a third rate academic drone like Dan Maguire. It's tough all over, Jon old boy, so don't expect my heart to break if some of your buds are now getting in a far less brutal way some of what they dish out.
The same goes for Rome for not reining in the bishops. You are right on about the rest.
They were talking about this on the Michael Reagan Show, and Michael thought the bishops were wrong. I couldn't see where he was coming from on that. He didn't seem to get it.
A lady who called into the show and identified herself as a catholic, likened the way matters are handled in the US as a "checkerboard church". I did understand where she was coming from.
Baloney. Our entire legal system is based on morality.
Even granting the most expansive conceivable interpretation of the meaning of the First Amendment, the fact remains that the First Amendment tells THE GOVERNMENT what it cannot do. The Bishop of Milwaukee can tell Catholics ANYTHING he wants. In this case, he is telling them the truth: You can't kill babies and be a real Catholic.
The reporter failed to note that ex-priest Maquire is a pro-abortion fanatic, author of numerous vile, demonic articles and pamphlets put out by Catholics for a Free Choice.
Translation: It is a condition of holding public office in America that one be willing to kill babies.
Guess what: Catholics don't have to be politicians or hold any public office. If it ever becomes a fact that the only way to hold public office is to participate in killing babies, then Catholics have to choose one or the other. All the bishop is telling Catholics is: You can't kill babies and be a real Catholic.
The Jesuits as a religious order report directly to the Pope. The local Bishop actually has little to say. Maguire is allowed to speak for himself as he pleases for only one reason - he has tenure.
Control over WHAT??? It's MEMBERS???
It is objectionable that the Catholic Church tell its MEMBERS what their moral duties are?
If we followed your principle, the First Amendment means: Churches are forbidden to teach their members anything.
How does shutting down a Church increase the freedom of the American People? Oh, yeah--the freedom to kill babies REQUIRES abolishing all OTHER freedoms, like freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

So I'm a crafty person (if you haven't already figured that out.)
so here's my craft for Wednesday:
Decoupage journal.
1. go to www.digiscrapdepot.com and find some cute elements, paper, frames etc. they're easy to download and free as free gets. they're for digital scrapbooking. open up your favorite on a Microsoft publisher page and print some out. you'll have to resize them ;)
2. find an old journal, a composition notebook works really well.
3. cover the outside of the journal in the scrapbooking pictures. you can use tape or glue, but glue stick and hot glue works best. use pens or markers to decorate and add words if you like. i put pieces of my favorite songs.
4. glue a ribbon on the inside front and back so you can tie it shut.(optional)
5. cover the entire outside in clear packing tape.
(here's the whole thing opened up.)
option b—use photographs to cover the notebook, and keep a journal for a year. bury it in a box and leave a map somewhere in your house. who knows who will find it 100 years from now…
ta-da! lovely. use it as a journal, a book-journal, a school notebook, whatever. the best part is, it's incredibly cheap! all you need to buy is the notebook and the ribbon and the packing tape.
Make your own journal! then post the instructions on your blog with a picture of what you made, and leave it in the comments! or, tell me what you think of this project. do you have any suggestions for what you could use a journal like this for?
P.S. remember that every comment y0u post from now until November 30 counts for the Winter Contest! sign up if you haven't already!

The Ferron/Price Ranger District will be implementing a prescribed burn approximately 5 miles northwest of the town of Emery located on the Pines plateau. The burn is scheduled to start as early as Thursday, December 4, 2008 and will continue until completed. The burn is expected to last approximately two days.
Prescribed fire is one of the proven tools used to accomplish a variety of resource benefits including improved wildlife habitat, vegetation regeneration, hazardous fuels reduction and to support ecosystem diversity.
To meet resource and safety concerns, prescribed fires must only occur when a specific set of conditions are met These conditions include favorable air, soil and vegetation moisture levels, temperatures, wind directions and speeds, smoke dispersal and expected fire behavior. The prescribed fire will only be ignited when fuel moistures and weather conditions are favorable.
Qualified fire personnel will use hand crews to ignite fire in the designated area and will monitor the fire until it is completely extinguished.
If you need further information visit www.utahfireinfo.gov or please contact the Ferron Ranger District at 435-384-2372.

Union County Baseball Tournament- Day 1
Myrtle 6 New Albany 5
The Union County Tournament opened with the Hawks coming from behind to top New Albany by one run, 6-5.
Down 5-3 in the fourth, Myrtle posted three runs off four hits, highlighted with a triple by Justin Pickens that scored the tying and winning runs.
Myrtle held an early 1-0 lead in the first with a run scoring of a sacrifice play by Austin Floyd. New Albany responded with three runs in the bottom half off three straight hits.
With two outs, Drew Wray reached base first, followed by a double by Riley Alef. Tyler Beaty cleared the bases with his home run, and the Bulldogs led 3-1 until Myrtle tied the game in the third.
The Bulldogs took the lead once more, opening the inning with Andrew Ballard reaching on an error and Beaty bringing him home with his double. New Albany loaded the bases and scored a run off the walk of Easton Hall to lead 5-3 heading into the last inning.
The Hawks had three straight hits, including an RBI single by David Moody to bring the game within a run before Pickens triple.
Pickens had the win on the mound, allowing five runs off five hits. Mason Maxey had the loss for the 'Dawgs, allowing six runs off seven hits and four strikeouts. Alef and Beaty each had two hits in the losing effort.
West Union 7 Myrtle 2
Myrtle was unable to carry momentum into their second game of the day, falling by five runs to the host team, West Union.
The Eagles posted three runs in the second, loading the bases on three walks and Taylor English scoring two with his single. Myrtle responded with a run in the third off a single by Adam Baker, but West Union scored two runs in each of the final two innings, including back-to-back home runs by Zak Jumper and Joey Dillard in the fourth inning.
English allowed only four hits for the Hawks while striking out six.
East Union 14 West Union 5
The Urchins had 13 hits in their convincing win over the Eagles in the final game of the first day.
Neither team produced runs in the first, but East Union changed the scoreless tie in the second with 11 runs off eight hits, two hits from both D.J. Armstrong and Tyler Hutcheson. Extra base hits for the Urchins came from Hutcheson with a two RBI double and Alex Boland, who hit an RBI triple.
The Eagles had two doubles in the bottom half of the second with Joey Dillard scoring West Union's first run, and they continued their impressive home run hitting in the third with Will Basil and Hunter McQuary each with solo shots.
Basil was one of four Eagles with multiple hits (English, Jumper and Dillard), while East Union had multiple hits from Hutcheson, Armstrong, Trey Barkley and Cody Dillard. Armstrong was three-for-three with an RBI single in the second to lead East Union.

Current Speed
Current speed influences the vertical position that a fish can hold. The faster the current the less likely a fish can hold close to the surface. It must seek a place resting in the slower deeper currents; consequently, its vision window is enlarged. The slower the current the shallower a fish can hold, and its vision window is diminished. Although, the faster currents have a more broken surface that obscures the fish's vision; therefore, its outside world is more distorted in faster flows.
Slower currents have calmer surfaces which are easier for the fish to see through

Kris Humphries' lawyer says that his camp will be ready for trial by the end of 2012 "if" everybody is cooperative.
While Kim Kardashian would like to have her marriage over already, her husband, Kris Humphries, continues to be in no hurry whatsoever.
In response to Kim's request to set an immediate trial date to get the split finalized, the NBA player's lawyer, Marshall Waller, has filed a motion claiming Kim is trying to gain an unfair advantage by trying to speed things along despite various delays in the discovery process, reports E! News.
"What are they hiding?" Marshall Waller, Kris' attorney, states in the documents. "What is there in the raw footage of this televised courtship, 72-day marriage and resultant breakup that they are so afraid of us discovering?"
He adds, "What is really going on here is that an 'urgency' in the form of an apparently unplanned pregnancy, something the Respondent had nothing to do with, is perceived by Plaintiff as an opportunity to gain a litigation advantage by trying to force this court to prematurely set this matter for trial."
Kim, who is expecting a baby this summer with Kanye West, filed for divorce from Kris on Oct. 31, 2011.
Kris says he has the right to be present when Kim is deposed, but his game schedule won't make him available until mid-May or June.
Humphries' attorney writes in his filing that he would be ready for trial with discovery completed by the end of 2012 "IF (and only if) everybody was cooperative."
A hearing is set for Feb. 15.

Lambert denies Bent reports
Paul Lambert confirmed Aston Villa have received no enquiries for out-of-favour striker Darren Bent and that the England international has not handed in a transfer request.
- Related Content
39. Darren Bent
|22 (10)
The Villa manager also denied there is a clause requiring the midlands club to make a £3million payment to Sunderland if Bent makes 50 league appearances for the club.
The 28-year-old has so far clocked up 47 and has not featured on the bench for the past two matches since returning from injury.
Christian Benteke is firmly established as the number one striker with rookie Jordan Bowery preferred as a substitute to Bent.
Lambert said: "Have there been any enquiries for Bent? No. Has he asked to be put on the transfer list? No.
"Is there a clause? That's not true. I'm not sure where that came from."
When asked why Bowery is being preferred as a substitute, Lambert said: "I see what happens every day in training. I see with my own eyes what goes on.
"Jordan Bowery's potential is extremely high and he is an unknown quantity which sometimes can work in your favour. I see every day what goes on.
"We've got 20-odd guys in the same boat together which I pick from.
"I answered about 105 questions (on Bent) the other night. The team I pick will be the team that will go and try win us the game and that's the way I'll always be."
Lambert wants Villa to move further away from relegation danger by spoiling Harry Redknapp's first home game in charge of QPR.
Lambert is aware that a Villa win will lift them 11 points clear of bottom-placed Rangers, who replaced Mark Hughes with Redknapp a week ago.
He believes the pressure will be on QPR and hopes Villa can build on collecting four points from their last two games at home to Arsenal and Reading.
Lambert said: "Harry going in there will automatically give them a big lift because he is a brilliant manager. Everyone knows what Harry can do from the clubs he has been at during his career.
"QPR have an abundance of really good players, the crowd will be buoyant and will get behind him. You wish him well - but after Saturday.
"The pressure is on QPR to make the running but we are definitely a threat, that's for sure.
"We would be happy to win the game for ourselves and keep them down there.
"We are certainly playing well enough to go and win. We are only a few points off mid-table. It is so tight in the bottom half of the table."

Boyd Gordon: Third Line Centre
Jonathan Willis
July 06 2013 09:32AM
Any questions as to what Boyd Gordon's role with the Edmonton Oilers in 2013-14 were answered by general manager Craig MacTavish during his media availability on Friday. "He's going to fit in very nicely into that number three [centre] hole," MacTavish said.
Lowetide wrote about Gordon last night, and his view is certainly worth reading. My perspective is slightly different.
Five Years: Gordon
The chart above shows Boyd Gordon's statistical performance in four statistical categories over the last five years; they'll be familiar to regular readers but here's a brief explanation:
- CorsiRel. "Corsi" is shorthand for shot attempts plus/minus - all the shots, missed shots, and blocked shots that a player was on the ice for 5-on-5 over an average one-hour period. The "Rel" part stands for relative - what we're doing there is adjusting for team strength.
- Quality of Competition rank. The player's rank among active forwards on his team in Behind the Net's Quality of Competition (we're using the Corsi-based one, though the site also offers a goal-based one and the difference between the two is small). This gives us an idea of the kind of opponents Gordon typically played against. Note: for years where he played for multiple teams, this is less helpful so I have excluded it.
- ZoneStarts. Taking offensive zone and defensive zone faceoffs, and expressing them as a percentage. If a player was on the ice for 70 offensive zone faceoffs and 30 defensive zone faceoffs, he would have a 70% offensive zone start, and we'd expect him to do better than a player with 30 offensive zone and 70 defensive zone faceoffs (30% zone start).
- 5-on-5 Points/60. Just like regular points, only adjusted for an average hour of ice-time.
The five-year record shows Gordon's evolution from a pretty run of the mill depth forward to a legitimate shutdown centre. 2010-11 was his final campaign with the Washington Capitals, and the year where he saw a steep increase in the caliber of his opposition – all of a sudden he was playing guys like Briere and Hartnell and Grabovski and Kessel and Kovalchuk with regularity. Phoenix – they seem to have a knack for finding this type of player - snatched him up at a very reasonable $1.325 million price point on a two-year contract.
Gordon's numbers really took off during the lockout-shortened 2013 season, and some of it probably had to do with the addition of David Moss – Moss has a very strong record as a possession forward when healthy, and Gordon's numbers were notably better with Moss on his wing than when playing without him. Competent help isn't a luxury Gordon has generally had; scrolling through a list of common linemates over the last five seasons, they are many, varied, and largely unimpressive.
Five Years: Horcoff
Horcoff did a hard job for a long time and never really got the credit he deserved for it in Edmonton – though of course he did get a contract. He had something of a down year in 2012-13; on balance he played tougher opposition than Gordon and managed better results, but the flip side of that is he also generally played with better players (save for that ugly, ugly 2009-10 season). Dallas general manager Jim Nill is betting that Horcoff can hold this form or something close to it in Texas; if he does the Stars almost certainly have the better third-line centre. Horcoff does turn 35 in September, so it may well be that the Oilers are getting out at the right time.
My View
The Edmonton Oilers didn't get better in adding Boyd Gordon and subtracting Shawn Horcoff. What they did manage was to move out a player who had become emblematic of the wasted post-2006 years, reduce the cap hit spent on that slot in the depth chart, and secure a younger replacement who was likely the best option on the market.
Initially, I didn't like the deal – the dollars seemed excessive – but after looking at the minutes Gordon has played over the last five years, and who has played them with him, it doesn't seem so bad. The dollars are less than ideal, but they aren't that bad for a good player and a needed one.
Recently around the Nation Network
At Leafs Nation, Cam Charron has a lot of praise for David Clarkson, before getting to what worries him:
So we'll see what happens. I like Clarkson between ages 30 and 32 because he's shown a lot of improvement past the age when a player's prime usually ends, but I'm not confident that he'll age like fine wine. Eventually, he won't be a guy with an elevated shot rate that results in keeping his team above even in goals when he's on the ice, and the Leafs have probably bought multiple years of "old David Clarkson".

Philly does have a lot of centers in their system including Scott Laughton.
Edmonton needs a center , Sean Couturier is the type of center Edmonton needs.
Trading Coburn and Couturier for X would be intriguing.
I think schenn would be a great fit here as a second line center. He is 6' 1" and 200lbs , but he plays bigger. He's got one more year left on his ELC and then he's gonna need a raise. Philly has put themselves in a tough position. I wouldn't be opposed to taking on a Meszaros contract. He's got 1 year left at 4mil. Big deal. His only knock is he has a problem staying healthy. We just picked up a sh?t tonne of D men that can fill in if needed.
I know Jones got some haters, but at least the signing is an NHL body, not some failed Finnish experiment or career 30 year old AHL vet or coaches kid. Makes me sad we missed out on Pouliot and Laperierre on bargain contracts, so I am hopeful Jones is on a 1-1.3. I think there are a couple fourth line bargains I`d take a flyer on to round out the bottom of the order. Only 3 more forward holes to fill, yippy.
I wonder what it will take to bring the Jagrmeister to Edmonton.

good article JW. Inspired by some moaning minnies? A few journalists are calling MacT the 'Magician' for managing to slip out of that Horcoff contract, so it's not as if we're getting bad press! Yes, we will overpay until it becomes fashionable to come to a winning environment for a fair price. We just need to suck it up buttercup until then. And those of you looking for the 'blockbuster' deals - they would actually involve giving one or more tangible assets up. We don't get our trades for nuthin', our UFA's for free.
JW your "My View" is spot on. He is a critical piece needed if this team is going to progress. Slight overpay but he's young enough to go far with this core and Cap going up most likely will alleviate that concern. MacT just needs to fill in a few blanks around him in order to give him the best chance to succeed.
July 06 2013, 09:51AM
I see that Richard Cloutier is reporting a huge trade between the Oil and Flyers... So you know that's never gonna happen. Who is that ass clown anyways? Also love the Gordon pick up, hopefully he earns that 3M per and not just a replacement for Horcoffs crap contract.
What is a third line centre? What is a third line?
I look at it this way:
1st: Power line: offensive zone starts, tough comp 2nd: Offense First: offensive zone start, easier comp 3rd: Defence first: Defensive zone start, tough comp 4th: role players: Defensive zone start, easy comp.. players add value through some sort of specialist role (ideally PK or place for young players to learn the craft... alternative is the face puncher role)
If that's the case then Gordon is for sure a 3rd line center, in the Manny Malhotra mood. Patrice Bergeron played this role for a long time aswell.
To me, the 3rd line probably plays as many minutes as the second, sometimes more.
If we could define what we mean when we say _ line, it will help the conversation immensely.
Well, so much for landing Grabovski. I figured Gordon as a great 4C for us, and was hoping to land Grabo as the 2/3 C to push Gags. Grabo is the same size as horc, utbut a better option in almost every regard except maybe choice of words when speaking to the media. Plus he BITES!!
July 06 2013, 10:11AM
I like Gordon as a shut down type player, but if MacT wants a bottom six that can contribute offensively then he needs to keep finding more players. 10 goals would be a career high for Gordon and 20ish points is pretty reasonable to expect, but not much beyond that.
I see Gordon in a fourth line spot between Smyth and Acton.Ithink MacT wants some bang for his buck on the 3rd line and will try to increase the size and skill on his 3rd line. I like Gordon. I like Ference his fitness regime+Eakins philosophy. Also the guy does not have 2 bum feet like some other guy we let go. He plays physical unlike current roster dmen we have(coughPotter,N,Shultz). I like his compete. I can see a compliance buyout being used on a guy the OIlers receive in a trade with Philly. Meszaros is the guy they want to dump.They don't want to use a regular buyout on him because they don't have the cap space. The Oilers could use either on a guy like him and have the cap space. The cost would be high to Holmgren. If he decides that B.Shenn is expendable he also saves another 3.7 on the cap. he could conceivably trade to the OIlers B.Shenn and Meszaros for future considerations. The Oilers have been on B Shenns case since he was in LA. It will be fun to see what happens in the next few weeks. Does Pheonix come calling on Hemsky? Or the Rangers?
Honestly, I'm hoping for not a big trade that brings a big 2 line center only because I can't see it being done without 1 of our great young assets going. Not sure if it can be done without going that route. MacT still has his work cut out for him. Maybe hiring Eakins will be the difference, get the boys to play competitive right to the end of the 3rd, and 2 top lines destroy everyone 4 on 4 and the shoot out. The way I see it, we will gain the much needed points with pure skill in the non regulation period. Just got to get us there every night.
July 06 2013, 10:18AM
I wonder what the magician is going to do next. Reminds me of the Tambellini summer but thats subject for another day. The oilers still need that 2nd LW. Wonder if Andrew Ladd or Evander Kane could be had? If not the only option out there is Hartnell and i dont think hes really available.
I see that Richard Cloutier is reporting a huge trade between the Oil and Flyers... So you know that's never gonna happen. Who is that ass clown anyways? Also love the Gordon pick up, hopefully he earns that 3M per and not just a replacement for Horcoffs crap contract.
Cloutier is fiction...I think he`s like the rest of dreaming of that big trade.
I think Coburn to Oilers is an old rumour and has run its course. Philly is not in as bad of cap shape as people think. They got 24 contracts and can bury some, or put the Rake on LTIR. I think there is a deal to be made for Schenn or Couturier because their depth at Center is astonishing. Giroux, VL, Couturier, Schenn and probably others. Right now they should be able to get top value for an ELC contract for either Schenn or Couturier. The argument against is that they are cheep now, and next year would be the year to deal one of them. I think Holmgren sees ultimately no point having 4 offensive centers. I think the opposite is true of Philly and they are looking for defence, and probably a top four. They got the assets to get one. Would Smid, MPS net you Schenn or Couturier and a second. I dunno. All I know is my rumours seem more plausible then Hockeybuzz.
I can't believe Chicago gave Khabibulin 2 million bucks for one year. The NHL is an idiotic business.
@Fresh Mess
He is not a bad backup goalie when he is rested and healthy.
Philly does have a lot of centers in their system including Scott Laughton.
Edmonton needs a center , Sean Couturier is the type of center Edmonton needs.
Trading Coburn and Couturier for X would be intriguing.
I don't think Couturier is the kind of centre Edmonton needs. He's worse on faceoffs than Gagner, his point production stinks (so far) and he's not experienced enough to face good competition yet. Giving up the farm for him would be a mistake, no matter how highly he was once rated while in Junior.
EDIT OK... a fellow poster named Jackson illuminated some facts for me about Couturier's defensive play. I take it back. He can play for the Oil.
If we look at the amount of cap space we generated by trading horcoff I say it was a win win. We subtracted I very good yet over paid 3rd line center for an above average 3rd Line center in Gordon and a top 4 Defenseman in Ference who knows what it takes to win. Good moves by MacT.
Can people stop complaining about the amount Gordon signed for? 3 million bucks is what we will have to pay people to play here. Who would you rather have Gordon at 3 million or Nystrom at 2.5 million? It's a solid signing and is multipurpose.
Lets see what else MacT has in store. He hasn't addressed the real problem with this team, size, skill for the top 6 and grit. He lost out on a few gritty players so I'm not sure where he goes from here other than a trade. Perhaps Coburn and Hartnell come over from Philly and give them much needed cap space.
July 06 2013, 10:45AM
How long till all these, so called overpays, come home to roost? If Edmonton has to overpay for role players such as Gordon. What will that do to the Oilers cap situation in 5 yrs when/if they're running with the top teams in the league.
Maybe Bettman could add 20% to the Oilers cap to accommodate for this, so called "Northern Living Allowance". Not going to happen I know, but when is this accepted "Edmonton has to overpay" going to bite them in the arse?
First meeting with Minny and I see Mike Brown and Ben Eager tag teaming Matt Cooke, ewwwwwwh I need a kleenex.
ooops my bad, the wild are not in our division any more, somebody else can take care of Cooke. sorry, Yeah Gordon, boo Horcoff.
Really? Behind the net tells a different story
I hope that Mac T looks east or whereever Brad Boyes is, and signs this guy as the top six guy that he has been looking for.
He is big, strong, versitile, and can score. I cant beleive that he is still available!!

2 of the 5 top players are locked in, so add 9M to the entry level deals to bring them up into Hall territory and you have a better idea what the cap situation will look like.
They currently have 13M in cap space (you can add 5M for Hemsky leaving, then take it away when Gagner signs). That would leave 4M in cap room, and still some depth roles to fill.
It's tight, but manageable right now. They just better be careful. Overpaying for a good shutdown centre is fine with me, since they are SO important. Overpaying for a knuckledraggin winger or two bit defenseman. Not good.
We shall see.
You're a good man Jackson. Thank you for that. After reading this little tidbit, Couturier can play on my team.
July 06 2013, 10:59AM
Great piece there Action. Thanks for that read.
Pulling for Couturier but hoping MacTavish can get him or Schenn.
If Braydon Coburn is so good why would a team the needs D-men want to trade him? Don't answer cost, because you would find a way.?
"Well, so much for landing Grabovski."
I'm not deadset against still taking a look at him. The buyout, meltdown and chip on his shoulder might get a team making the right pitch a discounted contract and a highly-motivated, skilled player.
he's still getting $14.3 mil from his buyout (he had 4 yrs and $21mil in actual salary remaing on his contract) ....... he'd be worth the risk of the $7 mil he's losing over 3 years
Willis, between Couturier & Schenn, who do you think is the better player right now? Who do you think has the greater upside?
July 06 2013, 11:10AM
Doesn't Hartnell have a NTC?
July 06 2013, 11:13AM
Doesn't Hartnell have a NTC?
Yes, as well as 6 yrs at 4.75 I believe. I'd take him, but not ahead of Sean or Braydon.
July 06 2013, 11:18AM
Well, so much for landing Grabovski. I figured Gordon as a great 4C for us, and was hoping to land Grabo as the 2/3 C to push Gags. Grabo is the same size as horc, utbut a better option in almost every regard except maybe choice of words when speaking to the media. Plus he BITES!!
I'm with you that MacT should still be looking hard at Grabovski for the 2C role. Not only would this put some pressure on Sam (as we can probably sign Grabo for $4-$4.5MM), it would allow us to move Samwise to 2LW, and would give us options other than Smytty for times when someone else goes down. Depth at C is not a bad thing...
Fun Grabovski facts: - won more than 50% of his draws last year - last year was a travesty on the stat sheet otherwise, but Burke was interviewed last night and disclosed that he had some sort of illness at the start of the year, plus we all know (from the horse's mouth) that Grabo wasn't happy with his role on the 3rd/4th line. - the 2 seasons prior (in a scoring role) Grabo scored 51 pts (would have been good for 4th on the Oilers), and 58 the year before that (would have led all Oilers, by a wide margin) - we don't give up anything to acquire him (except some of Mr. Katz's hard-earned dough) - born in Potsdam, Germany, site of the famous meetings between Churchill, Stalin and Truman that, in many ways, kicked off the cold war. So he's got that going for him.
There is also the Eakins connection - if we end up signing him we can have some pretty good assurance that he's a player. Not seeing many reasons why we wouldn't be hard after this guy (other than our favorite old chestnut the lack of size...)
I hope that Mac T looks east or whereever Brad Boyes is, and signs this guy as the top six guy that he has been looking for.
He is big, strong, versitile, and can score. I cant beleive that he is still available!!
I like Brad Boyes as well. He was playing for NYI.
That Giroux contract kiks in next year 8 million per. Heck that is a lot of dough. Do the Flyers get Cap relief for Pronger because he is on LITR. if he retires is he entitled to the rest of the contract? Philly is between a rok and a hard place and I am willing to be every GM in the league is willing to alleviate him of his best prospects at the cost of a bad contract or 2. Those with Cap space anyways.
You know who has been silent.The Sabres. Can you hear the crickets.Is Vanek still in play? Also where is Sather in all this mess. Hasn't spent a dime. Or a nickle. He has Lundquist to pay and he still has a whack of money to give to some of his RFA's. Nashville has done well to bolster their roster. Minny? Oi that Heatly deal has come home to bite them in the ass. Ottawa? They get Ryan? How is he available? And Why was he available?
Fun times.
July 06 2013, 11:31AM
Yes, as well as 6 yrs at 4.75 I believe. I'd take him, but not ahead of Sean or Braydon.
Thanks Quick, Hartnell would be great on the 2nd line.
Im curious though, with Gordon as the 3rd C down the middle right now looks like this
RNH(when 100%)
Say MacT does get Couturier or B. Shenn, do they bump Gagner to the wing or would Gordon like playing 4th line min and PK time while Gagner and one of the other 2 guys(BS,SC) duke it out for the 2nd/3rd line C.
July 06 2013, 11:32AM
Yup - Philly has cap woes alright. Next season they have 12.7 million to sign 9 contracts, including a goaltender. If the cap doesn't go up by 10 million, they're in it deep.
A deal that would bring in both Coburn and Couturier would cost the Oilers something more valuable than simply talent: cheap talent.
Of that we have two, Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov and I don't see MacTavish parting with either of them. Certainly not Nugent-Hopkins.
If MacTavish could somehow get Holmgren's reproductive organs in a vice and get him to trade both those players for Smid, Paajarvi, a 1st and one or two prospects, then I'd be over the moon. However, I'm not certain that is going to happen.
Johansen and Tyutin is a similar deal but perhaps slightly closer to the Oilers' price range and I'm not even certain that deal could happen.
Love it if either one does come to pass.
July 06 2013, 11:33AM
Oh, and yes these are fun times*
*don't let Madjam know:)
July 06 2013, 11:39AM
I think Simone Gagne is still a FA, Id like him on the team just to fcuk with all the people on here lol
@Ron Burgundy
I'm with you that Grabovski would be a quality pick up and he's certainly worth than the $7 mil my pipe dreams are made of (few posts up)
if Grabovski signs for $4-4.5 at any term more than 1 year he actually will increase his income as a result of the buyout (Lecavalier is ahead a few mil as well).
He should be thanking the Leafs
I would suspect it would take MPS + high D prospect + draft picks + roster player
July 06 2013, 11:47AM
fun fact: Vinny is actually in line to make just over 10 mil this season thanks to his buyout lol
July 06 2013, 11:48AM
@a lg dubl dubl
Say MacT does get Couturier or B. Shenn, do they bump Gagner to the wing or would Gordon like playing 4th line min and PK time while Gagner and one of the other 2 guys(BS,SC) duke it out for the 2nd/3rd line C. ______________________________________________________________________
If Craig is fortunate enough to land Couturier or Schenn, I let Gagner sit for a few weeks. This may not be a popular opinion here but i'm hoping someone signs him to an RFA offer sheet. Get Brad Boyes in here for 2 yrs. Edmonton could sure use an extra 1st 2nd and 3rd rounder next summer. With Couturier/Schenn here, along with Ference and Coburn, i'd call it for trades as far as this summer goes. Sign/resign free agents for the holes that are left in the lineup. Rome wasn't built in a day, see if someones desperate for Hemsky and reload, continue to try and improve the club during the season and next summer. More opportunities will present themselves i'm sure.
July 06 2013, 11:50AM
Noooo Mac T! Why did you have to trade away Kyle Bigos :(
@a lg dubl dubl
makes the pain of rejection go away that much faster

Ms. Elaine Kneeous
Jennifer is a one in a million stay-at-home mom. (More like one OF a million stay at home moms!) She graduated from a liberal arts college but there is nothing liberal OR artsy about her. She is married to Kevin Fischer of This Just In, and together they have a beautiful young daughter Kyla Audrey. In no particular order she loves dogs, wine, a good bargain, her family, pizza, and entertaining. Follow her blog of all things miscellaneous including but not limited to cooking and baking, entertaining and party planning, being a mommy, and homekeeping.
Welcome to our home! Would you please sign this?
Like most moms, I have a circle of friends who feel the same way I do: we love our kid(s); we work hard to keep them happy and healthy; we worry about them. There are times we wish we could literally put them in a bubble to prevent illness or injury.
Kyla hasn't reached the age for regular "play dates" just yet. Her play dates are with my best friend's daughter or her cousins, not classmates we don't know & love like family. In a short time that is going to change. I will do my best not to be the kind of mom who inspects the home of a new play date for any possible health & safety hazards. I'll be nervous the first time I leave our little cherub in the hands of another mom who, I just know, won't have the same parenting skills I do.
Do other moms feel like I do? Probably. I haven't asked my friends what they do for play dates, first times or otherwise. And does the nervous feeling lessen as your child ages? Do you worry just a bit more with a preschooler than you do a fifth grader (who presumably IS smarter than you?)
On the flip side if you are HOSTING the play date, how do you prepare? Do you:
a) Remove any family heirlooms & other breakables from the play area
b) Make certain you serve only WHITE beverages
c) Double-check that your guest has no food allergies
d) Contact your attorney to draw up a Play Date Waiver that the visitor's parent must sign stating they will not hold you responsible for any injuries, etc.
e) All of the above
If you answered "e" you are clearly not alone. Yes, in our wonderfully litigious times parents are now being asked to sign waivers before play dates, birthday parties and other social gatherings. You just never know when Johnny Guest is going to skin his knee at your house and his folks sue you for thousands of dollars. (Don't believe me? Watch the video at the end of this blog.)
While it shouldn't exactly surprise me that this is taking place, it does unsettle me. I come from what is probably the last generation who survived their childhoods unscathed WITHOUT the help of bike helmets, car seats until I was old enough to drive the car myself, cell phones if I was more than a half block from my home, or GPS systems to help me cross a street.
We have become such a nation of lawsuit-happy and lawsuit-phobic wimps that we can't even attend or host a play date without the advice of our ATTORNEY???!!! To quote that famous philosopher Charlie Brown: "Good Grief!"

Virgin Blue Goes Daily Between Melbourne & Maroochy08/08/2003
Popular Leisure Playground Lures Southerners To Sunshine
Virgin Blue has announced it will increase the number of flights between the Sunshine Coast and Melbourne from four a week to daily from 19 September going forward in time for the peak school holiday season, following consistently strong loads and ongoing demand for more capacity.
The low fare carrier only introduced the direct flight in May in response to huge demand from the tourism industry and travellers and the large number of people who were booking connecting flights from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast via Sydney.
The decision to go daily is a direct result of steady support from both leisure and business travellers and reaffirms the ongoing love affair between the Victorian and Queensland destinations.
Head of Communication and Strategy, David Huttner said, "We've been closely monitoring our Maroochy-Melbourne flights and have seen heavy loads in both directions. Clearly, this a growing market, not just for tourism, but for people visiting friends and relatives."
He continued, "We have always maintained that we will support the regions that support us and we are excited to be ramping up capacity on this key leisure route."
The Melbourne-Maroochydore flight will depart Melbourne at 10.45am, arriving on the Sunshine Coast at 12.55pm in time for a lunch by the beach or relaxing at a Hastings St. Café.
The return flight leaves Maroochydore at 1.30pm and arrives in Melbourne at 4.00pm, allowing holidaymakers to return home in time for dinner.
For Sunshine Coast travellers it means direct daily access to Melbourne's shopping and entertainment, a convenient opportunity to visit family and friends or an affordable time-efficient option to visit a client and do business in person.
David Huttner added, "This time last year we weren't even flying into the Sunshine Coast and soon we will have two daily flights to two key cities, so it's a shot in the arm for the Sunshine Coast tourism industry that has really got behind Virgin Blue and supported our quest to bring more people to the region. People are voting with their feet in favour of great service, on-time performance, choice and convenience."
Maroochydore-Melbourne Mid-Week Mini-Fares start from $115* one-way on the net with a Fully Flexible 'walk up' Fare of $350*, which is 38% cheaper than Qantas's walk up fare of $564 one way.
The new flight will be made possible by the arrival of more new aircraft to add to Virgin Blue's existing modern 737 fleet.
