Furniture and lively dogs
After years of having a little old dog whose only goal in getting on the couch was to curl up and go to sleep, our current situation has taken a little getting used to.
Oh, the three young dogs that inhabit our house now do a little of that. But they also use the furniture for flying leaps from one piece to the other, for wrestling with each other, and for gnawing on an array of plastic bones and balls.
The result is that Jenny had noticed a couple of pulls in the fabric.
"They're going to ruin our furniture," she announced one day. "I love this furniture; I've always thought it was beautiful."
Umm, I thought. It seems to me that when we bought it shortly after we were married a dozen years ago, she didn't like the color, which is predominantly green.
She wanted blue, but we couldn't find anything in blue that had a thick woven pattern that we thought would be suitable for a dog. She complained about the green, but gave in.
Anyhow, time changes everything, apparently.
Of course, I didn't say that.
"We already have throws on the furniture; I don't know what else we can do," I offered.
"What we need is some slipcovers," she said.
Only old people have slipcovers, I thought. But I was wrong (or maybe not).
She ordered some.
When we opened the box Saturday, there were two packages inside labeled "SureFit" that looked like sheets, and two packages of vinyl grip strips labeled "TuckOnce."
When we opened the first slipcover and laid it over the loveseat, it looked like enough material to cover the queen's throne at Buckingham Palace.
I thought it must be the wrong size, but Jenny assured me pointedly that she had ordered the proper size.
"It says you just start tucking all the excess in around the cushions," Jenny said.
I kept wadding material in and eventually most of the excess material disappeared into the crevices.
Then we opened the "TuckOnce" package. The instructions said to push the V-shaped strips into the left and right arm crevices on the loveseat and then do the same thing with strips along the back of the cushion.
If the grips are too long, "cut to proper length with a heavy-duty scissor," the instructions said.
They were. Jenny found they were too tough to cut with scissors, but I managed to shorten them using a butcher knife and a cutting board in the kitchen.
By the time I had managed to put the other cover on the couch and push all the strips as far as possible into the crevices, the sweat was dripping off my nose. I was worn out and my fingers were sore.
"Golly, I'm glad that's over," I said. "I wouldn't want to have to do that again."
Jenny gave me that look: "You know that when they get dirty, we'll have to take them off and put them in the washer, don't you?"
She looked at the expression on my face, got up and spread the throws on top of the new slipcovers.
Good idea.

Walgreens set to make its move in June
Shorewood - Walgreens, a mainstay along Shorewood's Oakland Avenue shopping district, is scheduled to relocate from its stand-alone building at 4081 N. Oakland Ave., to the mixed-use Lighthorse 4041 development at 4041 N. Oakland Ave. in June.
As part of the transition, village officials on Monday approved a number of formalities, including an application to transfer the retail license to the new premises and issuance of a new cigarette and tobacco products license.
Bars, taverns allowed to sell packaged beer, liquor
Shorewood - Bars and taverns in Shorewood will be allowed to sell packaged liquor and beer for consumption off premises, following approval of an ordinance Monday.
Since 2010, the village has allowed establishments to sell wine for off-premises consumption from 6 a.m. to midnight daily. The new ordinance extends the provision to sales of beer and liquor during the same time frame.
Both ordinances follow state statutes. Establishments cannot sell more than 4 liters of beer and liquor at any one time to a consumer. All beverages must be sealed when a person leaves the premises of an establishment.
Thiensville gives thumbs
up to loan program
Thiensville - Village business owners will have access to some very attractive loans, courtesy of Port Washington State Bank.
The Village Board on Monday, meeting as a Committee of the Whole, approved - in effect, endorse, but not create any village liability - a community loan program from PWSB.
The bank currently offers the program in Cedarburg, Port Washington, Saukville and Grafton, extending loans of up to $50,000 at a 1 percent fixed interest rate for exterior improvements and other related expenses.
Trustees unanimously voted for approval, several commenting that the program works well with the Economic Development Committee's goal of offering similar loans.
Seven establishments given outdoor seating permits
Shorewood - The Shorewood Village Board on Monday approved seven eateries' requests for outdoor seating in areas throughout Oakland Avenue.
Outdoor seating permits were awarded to Alterra Coffee, 4500 N. Oakland Ave.; Big Bay Brewing Company, 4517 N. Oakland Ave.; Nehring's Sendiks, 4027 N. Oakland Ave.; Oakcrest Tavern, 4022 N. Oakland Ave.; Stone Creek Coffee, 4106 N. Oakland Ave.; Three Lions Pub, 4515 N. Oakland Ave.; and Yo Mama Frozen Yogurt, 4521 N. Oakland Ave.
Village Board OKs engineering work for street, water main project
Shorewood - The Shorewood Village Board on Monday awarded a $14,700 contract to Milwaukee-based engineering firm Clark Dietz for planning roadway repairs in the 3500 block of Maryland Avenue.
Leeann Butschlick, director of public works, said deficiencies in the area were discovered a year ago amid work associated with water service and catch basin repairs.
"Utility crews discovered several locations … in which voids had formed between the asphalt pavement and the road base," Butschlick said.
The board will act on an additional contract associated with design work on a later date.
Village's recycling efforts included in report
Shorewood - More than $375,000 was spent on recycling services in 2012, according to information in Shorewood's recently released recycling report.
The village's recycling program cost $425,132, but was offset by nearly $50,000 due to income from the sale of recyclables.
Nearly 1,150 tons of items were recycled last year throughout the community, according to information furnished by the village's contracted firm, Waste Management.
Storm, sanitary sewer work outlined in annual report
Shorewood - Efforts in addressing pollution discharge are outlined in Shorewood's NR 216 annual report, which was completed recently and presented to the Village Board.
The 10-page document provides an analysis of work that has been completed in satisfying the requirements of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and other agencies. Ongoing efforts include cleaning catch basins, increasing the amount of street sweeping and community outreach.
Generation of a report is required annually as part of the village's participation in a pollutant discharge elimination systems permit with other North Shore communities.

News reports peg a transition from Jay Leno to Jimmy Fallon, and a shift from L.A. to New York.
NBC is planning to build a new set for their late-night host Jimmy Fallon.
Could it soon be the next home of The Tonight Show?
It's been no secret that Fallon has been groomed the past few years to take over Tonight from current host Jay Leno. The question has been when.
Now The Hollywood Reporter, citing unnamed sources, reports that the hand-off will be made by September 2014, and The New York Times chimes in that Fallon's version of the storied late-night franchise will return to New York, where it first began with Steve Allen in 1954.
Though the network confirmed it is planning a new studio for Fallon, it's declining comment on any hosting moves in late night, which appears to be the least of the network's many problems. Despite a new incursion by ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live in January, Leno remains ahead of both ABC and CBS' David Letterman among both total viewers and the young adults prized by advertisers, even as its prime-time and early-morning fortunes have faltered.
Instead, the Times says, also citing unnamed sources, the motivation may be twofold: Leno's contract ends next year, while NBC is busily trying to sew up Fallon's services so he doesn't bolt to another network such as CBS, which could be planning for the eventual retirement of David Letterman.
But not so fast. NBC made the same promise to Conan O'Brien in 2004, urging him to stay by vowing he'd replace Leno five years later. When Leno was moved to prime time and both of their ratings sagged, NBC reneged and tried to push O'Brien later to midnight, leading him to quit and demand a $33 million payout. And back in 1992, Leno and Letterman fought a bitter rivalry to succeed Johnny Carson. When Leno got the job, Letterman left for CBS.
Fallon, in an interview in April's GQ, claims he has no grand ambition the way O'Brien did. "Who really cares, in the nicest way," he says. "It would be great, sure, I guess. I'd love it, but it's not on my mind. I'm in no rush to do anything. I'm kind of a boring character in that book. I'm not in a fight with Jay or Conan, or any of them. I don't have that story."
Perhaps sensing a repeat of the O'Brien drama, Leno is not going along quietly, resorting to the frequent tactic of mocking his NBC bosses on the air. Earlier this week, in a St. Patrick's Day joke, he referred to executives as "snakes," and constantly criticizes the network's weak performance in the ratings.

OK, friends of mine, it is now time for me to get very serious! My daughter goes back to public school on Monday...PTL!!! For the past 2 years, I have thought that I wanted to be in Clinical Research, but was too busy fighting a custody battle to focus. Now it is over and he is out of the picture, I find myself unmotivated. My aunt today suggested forensics, which was what I wanted to do when I first went back to college. Not so interested in the overwhelming Chemistry classes required at my age. Was fun in my 20s.... I was browsing about and I saw an online course for Homeland Security; now there is a recession proof job! Plus, I have always made a good P.I. :) Can anyone out there show me the way to a career in either Homeland Security or even something cyber-based? Bless you!
Good day to you I hope you had a great one

Dr. Mostafa Kamal Tolba: Winner 1993
Dr. Mostafa Kamal Tolba, world renowned scientist and for 17 years Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has been an eloquent and tireless defender of the environment for most of his life.
Born in Egypt, a country whose economy depends on the waters of a river that flows through other states, made him aware of the link between environment and politics. He has always believed that common environmental interests should override political differences, even conflicts between nations.
In 1972, he led his country's delegation to the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment which gave rise to UNEP. It is to his leadership that much of the credit for directing the environment to the forefront of global thinking and action is due. He applied his belief that environmental decisions are inseparable from socio-political decisions in all his consultations with political leaders. His negotiating skills and scientific knowledge contributed to UNEP's most widely acclaimed success - the historic 1988 agreement to protect the ozone layer - the Montreal Protocol. The Protocol is recognized as setting a precedent for international preventive rather than corrective environmental action.
At the Earth Summit in Brazil, he was at the helm of the negotiations when the Conventions on Climate Change and Biological Diversity were signed. He also successfully worked for treaties to protect the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. During the Iran-Iraq conflict he often had the warring parties at the same negotiating table discussing common environmental interests.
In making its selection, the Committee noted that although Dr. Mostafa Tolba, as Executive Director of UNEP, was in a privileged position he went far beyond the call of duty in his commitment, dedication and contributions to the environment.

Report: Canucks to Buy the Peoria Rivermen from the Blues
Thomas Drance
March 30 2013 12:00PM
#stlblues have sold their #AHL affiliate in Peoria to the Vancouver #Canucks...Chicago #Wolves expected to become new Blues AHL affiliate— Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) March 30, 2013
So things appear to be happening pretty quickly on this front. After yesterday's news that the Blues had notified the Peoria arena where their AHL affiliate the Peoria Rivermen play that they'd be ceasing operations of their AHL club, Andy Strickland tweeted out the above news that the Canucks have bought St. Louis' AHL affiliate.
Read on past the jump.
Andy Strickland followed up on his more definitive tweet with a report over at his TrueHockey.com site. In that report he cites "multiple sources" as confirming that "St. Louis has agreed to sell the franchise to the Vancouver Canucks." This comes as a bit of a surprise to me. I'd found Harrison Mooney's theory - that the Canucks would purchase the Abbotsford Heat directly - as more convincing than Mayenknecht's AHL affiliate Musical Chairs scenario.
But apparently talks between the Flames and the Canucks regarding a more direct purchase of the Abbotsford Heat fell apart recently. Per Strickland:
There was talk of Vancouver and Calgary having discussions regarding the potential sale of the Abbotsford Heat, the AHL affiliate of the Flames. Sources say those talks ended several days ago.
So Strickland's sources told him that talks between the Flames and the Canucks ended several days ago. That somewhat contradicts what Blues COO Bruce Affleck told Tom Eminian of the Peoria Junior Star a couple of weeks ago, namely that it was his understanding that talks between the two Western Canadian organizations had already gone nowhere and been abandoned.
Whether or not talks between the Flames and the Canucks regarding the possible sale of the Abbotsford Heat to the Canucks fell apart this week or the week prior doesn't really matter much for our purposes. What matters more is that we have multiple people on the record saying that talks between the Flames and the Canucks didn't bear fruit, and one relatively credible St. Louis based reporter saying that the Canucks purchase of the Rivermen from Tom Stillman and the St. Louis Blues is all but completed.
That's very interesting and it certainly looks like the gears are in motion to bring a Canucks owned and operated AHL affiliate to the lower mainland. But the big question of the Calgary Flames and their situation in Abbotsford still looms large on the horizon.
Now that there are multiple public reports out in the public sphere contending that talks between the two organizations fell apart, we'll have to wait and see how a possible staring contest between the Flames and the Canucks turns out. Needless to say we'll be watching this closely and with interest, especially because if Strickland's report is true, then the Canucks have made the first move.
Could the Canucks move their AHL affiliate to Victoria if the Flames refuse to leave Abbotsford? A seaplane charter from Victoria straight to Downtown might even be quicker than a player driving in from Abbotsford, especially if traffic is bad.
March 30 2013, 12:10PM
If Andy Strickland told me the sun rose in the East, I'd wait until dawn before confirmation.
March 30 2013, 12:27PM
@camcharron I think I treated his report with due caution. To be fair his Blues stuff tends to he relatively reliable.
Reliable in the "relative" sense. The only other people I hear about from Missouri are my friend's racist cousins. I would trust Strickland against them.
Could the Canucks move their AHL affiliate to Victoria if the Flames refuse to leave Abbotsford? A seaplane charter from Victoria straight to Downtown might even be quicker than a player driving in from Abbotsford, especially if traffic is bad.
I believe the Victoria Royals have a contract with the city/the arena that would prevent that from happening for the next couple of years.
March 30 2013, 01:28PM
The Victoria Royals do play in the Save-On-Foods center in Victoria. That is the only arena that could house the potential Canucks AHL team in Victoria. I have no clue what the contracts are like between the Royals and city, but the team is fairly new (2-3 years) so I doubt relocating is an option.
Having the AHL team geographically close is definitely an ideal situation.
Kelowna, Kamloops, Nanaimo or Prince George are the cities in BC that come to mind outside of the GVA. Maybe even Washington for a few years until Seattle gets a NHL team and the Flames/Heat disappointment continues to grow?

when i played ball in college some of the d-line literally HAD to do that, they would eat so dang much it was amazing, as long as you are working it all out you wont gain too much fat, and you turn most of it into muscle, poop out the rest...
ask your coach, if he/they dont know then you got problems, you will be fine one way or another, just keep getting bigger faster stronger by eating everything and working out a lot
PS, there are specific plans you could work out where you have like 40 percent protein, 40 percent carbs and 20 percent fat in your diet each day, but that would require you keep track of every piece of food you eat and be quite complex and probably be better with professional help

j/k, yea, what they said should work
Posted 18 August 2005 - 12:29 PM
If u have a jack in the box near u eat a ultimate bacon cheeseburger. They're sooo good and they have 74 grams of fat. Add in a large fires with a shake your easily eating 150grams of fat in one sitting. And try to eat at night before u sleep. That will help too cause u don't burn it off. Other places like that are carls JR and hardees
Hardees has a breakfast sandwhich that is over 100grams of fat and 1000 calories

eesh, also if you can watch out for trans fats, they are usually listed as partially hydrogenated oils, heres a quick article from the times about them:
August 18, 2005
A Better French Fry
If the city's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Frieden, had his way, the arteries of New Yorkers would be as clear as the air in New York restaurants and bars, where smoking is not allowed. Dr. Frieden, who fought for the smoking ban and now promotes smoking cessation, has a new mission: getting restaurants to voluntarily rid their kitchens of trans fats. The doctor's bold prescription could help make New York's restaurants the healthiest in the nation.
Trans fats, usually found in chemically altered oils for shortening and margarine, can make baked and fried foods tasty. But there's a nasty side effect: they lower the body's good cholesterol while increasing the bad.
In packaged goods, they are listed among the ingredients as "partially hydrogenated" oils. Next year, the Food and Drug Administration will require clearer identification on food labels. In restaurants, though, menus can be murky, and even restaurant operators don't always know if they've cooked with trans fats. In its own study, the health department found that a third or more of New York's restaurants use trans fats. Ideally, these establishments would work with suppliers to switch to unadulterated polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Not so ideally, some may substitute saturated fats like butter, which can also be heartbreakers. But taking down trans fats is no less worthy a goal.
There will never be a shortage of restaurant patrons who want empty calories. Few are likely to challenge how their pastries came to be so flaky or their French fries so crunchy. But considering that cardiovascular diseases kill some 4,000 New Yorkers under the age of 65 each year, perhaps they should. Restaurants should at least be able to assure them that the goodies are not entirely bad.

idk if this is what he means, but I, for example am 6'0 205, and I'd make a ok D-Lineman for school ball, you'd need to gain like 75 pounds to do that, lol
But thats what I think he means, maybe you shouldn't gain any weight and just grow taller and be a WR

idk if this is what he means, but I, for example am 6'0 205, and I'd make a ok D-Lineman for school ball, you'd need to gain like 75 pounds to do that, lol
But thats what I think he means, maybe you shouldn't gain any weight and just grow taller and be a WR
Pinned it right on the head there Maynard! How is he going to be a D-Linemen. Unless he's actually 11 years old and just abnormally large for his age...hahaha...than he would dominate. I'm assuming that's not the case.

Technical FAQ
Your Interlibrary Loan account is the electronic system, called ILLiad, used to request materials through Interlibrary Loan. It was designed by Atlas Systems, Inc.
- Forgot your password?
- What Web browser should I use?
- How can I use the system if I don't have Web access?
- Is security a problem if I use a public workstation?
- What is Electronic Delivery?
- Who do I contact if I have problems with or questions about my Interlibrary Loan account?
- Why does my browser say that you're sending a cookie? What's in it?
- Why does e-mail from Interlibrary Loan look like gibberish on my computer?
What Web browser should I use?
You need a Web browser that can handle forms, tables, and, preferably, one that can handle frames. This is a minimal configuration when browsing the Web in 2003. We recommend either Netscape Navigator version 3.0 or greater or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or greater. Both browsers are available for the Windows 3.x, Windows 95 or NT, and Macintosh O/S operating systems. Netscape Navigator is available for UNIX.
For further help faculty and staff should contact their department's computer support technician.
How can I use the system if I don't have Web access?
There are computers with Web clients available for your use in many locations in all University of Washington Libraries.
You can access your Interlibrary Loan account anywhere you have access to the Web version of the Libraries catalog.
Is security a problem if I use a public workstation?
Yes. While the Libraries treats records in your Interlibrary Loan account with the same confidentiality rules that apply to all library patron and circulation records, Web browsers cache information and create a history file on the local workstation. This allows a subsequent user of the workstation to access the system under your name using the browser's Back button to recall a page from the cache, or by finding a page with your personal information in the browser's history file. If you are concerned about the security of your interlibrary loan requests, you can take the following steps:
Access your Interlibrary Loan account only from your personal computer or an otherwise secure workstation.
When using a public access workstation:
Exit from the Web browser before you leave the workstation. This prevents the Back button from accessing the pages you were using.
Delete from the history file those pages that contain your personal information.
What is electronic delivery?
Many libraries ship photocopies of articles to us in electronic format. In the past we printed these articles before delivering them to you. Now, through your Interlibrary Loan account, we are able to offer you the option of electronic delivery of these articles in PDF format (Adobe's Portable Document Format).
Whom do I contact if I have problems with or questions about my Interlibrary Loan account?
Interlibrary Loan Office: (206) 543-1878 Monday - Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm.
Reference and Information: (206) 543-0242 all hours the Library is open.
Why does my browser say that you're sending a cookie? What's in it?
The Active Server Pages technology that we use to provide live reporting for the web sends a Session ID to be stored on your machine. You can refuse this cookie and still be able to use the ILL web pages and your Interlibrary Loan account without any problems.
Why does e-mail from Interlibrary Loan look like gibberish on my computer?
Probably you are reading your e-mail on VTVM1 or on a UNIX computer. Your problem results from the fact that your mail reader is not MIME-compliant. We do not know of a solution to this problem on VTVM1. On a UNIX computer, either you or your system administrator should be able to upgrade your mail system to be MIME-compliant. The best solution for this is to be sure you are using a University of Washington e-mail account and e-mail reading software provided by the university.

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

How do you know when did Dofla recruit Vergo?
|5| Excellent
|4| Good
|3| Average
|2| Bad
|1| Terrible
How do you know when did Dofla recruit Vergo?
It's not hard to guess. Law did say he was a pirate before he got famous, and that he entered the marine under Joker's orders. So it's safe to assume he met Joker when he started out as a pirate, then got recruited by Joker and joined the marines pretty much straight away, which was 15 years ago.How do you know when did Dofla recruit Vergo?
so law worked for flamingo once...it seems there are many powerful people work for him.
and the vilgo, he is the spy...Ok, i found i fall in love with flamingo...he is so awesome.
The thing is, even though their VA's, their strengths vary quite a bit. Like we've seen from Smoker, his at the very bottom of the VA list. It's like saying that being a commander from WB's crew would mean that you're strong, however there's a clear difference between say the top 5 (Marco, Ace, Jaws and Vista) as compare the rest of them.

I ran across Brazilian Designer Sergio Bergocce's take on the age old problem of  bathroom signage a which I always considered to be a great visual trope  to play with since is so universal/human and yet not obvious how to simplify visually unlike running or age.
Sergio Bergocce's take I thought was both fresh and humorous while in step with the current trend of re-imagining 80's themes of color & shape that seem to be coming back in style. Thought you all would like to see.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I am a huge fan of city building strategy games like Settlers 7, but it seems that this is a very small part of the gaming industry. I am looking for a game like Settlers 7 or Settlers Online that does not have a cash shop or a time limit of 24 hours to do anything. (Dont wanna get started on how the gaming community is ruining the future of gaming by supporting free to play games)
I have searched and searched and all I find is posts about SimCity type games. But these games lack a simple problem they have no combat. And everything I search I find people posting answers of games that are so outdated it wouldnt even be enjoyable to play.
So I guess I am just posting, hoping that someone might know of a hidden gem that I have over looked that is somewhat recent.
p.s. I have all the Total War games so no need to point those ones out. Plus those ones lack and real actual in depth city building.
I really believe if someone came out with a epic MMORPG with equal focus on city building they are just going to rake in so much money as it adds another aspect to MMO's where such games always lack end game content.
Still alpha but looks awesome already ^^
Games currently playing:
Pro Evolution Soccer
World of Warcraft
Light of Nova
League of Legends
Well there is Civilization 5, but I dont consider it a city builder in the true sense.
My go to for designing my own cities and layouts is the Anno series (Anno 1701, Anno 2070). Modern games, great graphics, interesting gameplay. It takes a while to build up to the warfare part though, being much more oriented around the city building and management aspects.
I must say I also really like Anno (especially 1404, 2070 not so much). It's a bit faster paced than Settlers 7 sometimes and a bit more hectic, but also lots of fun ^.^
Also there's this quite old game called Constructor, it's fun as well. Although that might be my nostalgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_(video_game))

If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
DAWN OF FANTASY; ONLINE city building ''fantasy game'' as the name implies. Strategy game (with combat / emphasis on sieges).... And yes, the whole capital city building&menagement thingy is very important in gameplay terms as well.
--ACTUAL (3d) retail game (so to say) ; NOT a free browser game of any kind.
Check it out!
I always like Children of the Nile, ancient egypt city builder. Demo is still around last time i checked. You could look into a tale in the desert(i think is still sub based though).
The free builders are worth a try.
If you liked settler 7 maybe start with widelands, based of the original settlers games. http://wl.widelands.org/
Also there's unknow horizons http://www.unknown-horizons.org/ , lincity (not sure they have a homepage), simutrans http://www.simutrans.com/ . There are also a couple of free civ games about.
The nations is still available on the dl sites. Tropico 4 didn't come out that long ago. There are a bunch of the more cheapo nasty ones that keep getting made too.
Theme hospital just got a re-release i think.
gog is a good place to go for some of the older games in this style.
Minecraft could also be worth a look.
There was a proper city/building mmo at one point but for the life of me i can't remember the name so can't check that it's still running.
I forgot, I think dungeon keeper 2 was released free and has also been remade(sort of) now just called dungeons.
And there are some interesting ones on desura too look up.
Imperium Romanum is really good , well done in depth good lookin ........

0AD ? Still alpha but looks awesome already ^^
Hm, this one looks a lot more like Age of Empires than an actual city builder.
Nevertheless, I'm intrigued.
I fancy checking out that dawn of fantasy..
Has anyone on here played it? if so is it any good and is it worth the money?
Somehow I liked the only strategy games, but not the new ones.
The old SimCity up to Simcity 4000, the old Settlers games, Civ 1-4, but hate Civ5, the old Master of Orion, Alpha Centaury... nothing like that these days.

By PHIL FAUVERStaff writer
Laurel Johansen, School Board President opened the June 21 meeting with all members present. The first item of business was the recognition of four school district retirees. Johansen said they were sad to see the retirees leave the district. They have all done remarkably good things, and they will miss them. Sam Singleton was designated to present the award to Dean Nelson, a teacher of French and English at Emery high school. He started at the Emery School District in 1979. He has taught 32 years in the Emery District and two years outside the district at Snow College. He also coached in the Emery District. His total teaching years are 34. Nelson was given a large wall clock as a gift in recognition of his service to the district.
Nelson declared the rumor was true about him erasing tardys when and if the student brought French Yogurt (Yoplait) to him. Nelson followed up his award by saying, "Knowing the makeup of the school board and knowing all of you and I went to school with half of you. I want you to know I always had complete faith and trust in what you did. Thank you so much."
Johansen said, "Thank you Dean, you have been so much more than a teacher."
Tanie Worthen was the next to receive an award of a large wall clock presented by Johansen. Worthen was an elementary teacher at Castle Dale Elementary School. She started in the Emery School District as a teacher in 1979. She taught in the Emery District for 32 years and three years outside the District at the Navajo Reservation. Worthen has a total of 35 years teaching. She taught the children about books and how to go to magical places and have fun experiences with books. "We appreciate her so much and we will miss her," said the school board.
Worthen said, "I have gone to a lot of work shops in the last 32 years and I have never talked to someone from another district, that caused me say oh I wish I taught there. Not ever. This is the most sympathetic school board for teachers that I know of. I appreciate that."
Nancy Martinez and Alta Anderson, two other teachers to receive awards were not there to receive their awards.
Anderson, an elementary teacher at the Ferron Elementary School, started teaching in the Emery School District in 1990. She taught in the Emery School District for 21 years. Anderson has also taught in the Castle Dale and Cottonwood elementary schools.
Martinez, a biology teacher at Emery High School started in the Emery School District in 1986. She has taught 25 years in Emery District and five years outside the district. She also coached in several sports programs in the district. Martinez has taught for a total of 30 years.
The board adjourned to a public hearing to receive public comment on the final legal budget for fiscal year 2011 and the proposed budget for 2012. Business Administrator Jared Black made the presentation and passed around copies of the budget for review. Black said, "Every year we build our budget based on assumptions as well as actual numbers that we get of how much revenue may be coming. But those assumptions and numbers are constantly changing. The budget is based upon the best information we have at this time.
"The assessed valuation for our county is what drives our local property tax revenue. There is a significant amount of growth of about $89 million. The growth is from centrally assessed property, such as the mines, and the power plants, these are properties that have a very high value that are assessed by the state. That growth allows us to increase tax revenue, not at the expense of home owners but we still have higher revenue locally. Local funding is up but state funding is down. Funds from the state are different for every school district. The weighted pupil unit or WPU value this year was $2,577. The WPU for 2012 was increased to $2,816. But that increase was taken out of flexible allocations. We actually lost funding because of that change in funding. WPU is the basic funding for school districts. Flexible Allocation is the new name for the allocation for Social Security and retirement on every employee.
"Our estimated fall enrollment is just under 2,400 and that will be our second year of growth. Last year the growth was 80 students, this year we expect 40-50 new students. The number of employees is approximately 330. We have five funds that we are budgeting for this year. That is one less than normal because we do not have a debt service fund. We have two different budgets that we are presenting for review. One is our tentative fiscal budget for the next fiscal year and the second is our final budget for this fiscal year.
"We are not going above our certified tax rate this year and will not need additional hearings in August. We are setting our rates at the certified tax rate which means we will have the same revenue next year as we did this year. The state basic levy is set statewide for every county and it came out yesterday at .005716 and the state basic levy for this year was .005609. So you can see it went up quite a bit. Our largest expenditure in 2011 was salaries and benefits, supplies and property was also significant. Part of supplies and property includes the cost of utilities. In 2012 the expenditure for supplies and property will be lower.
"In 2010 the tax rate was .005519 and the revenue received was $9,868,703. The tax rate for the fiscal year 2011 was .005609 and the amount budgeted was $10,561,812. Looking ahead to 2012 the tax rate will be .005716 and the anticipated amount of revenue is $11,240,371," concluded Black.
After the Public hearings, the school board adopted the final legal budget for fiscal year 2011 and the tentative budget for fiscal year 2012. The state basic levy tax rate is set by the Utah State Office of Education and the Utah Tax Commission. The total proposed tax rate does not exceed the certified tax rate.
If anyone wants more details about the budget they should contact Business Administrator Jared Black at the Emery County School District offices.
Director Gwen Callahan presented the Emery Adult Education Program, which has for its mission, "the empowerment of adults who are at less than a post-secondary level or who have limited English proficiency to become literate." The main goal is assisting adults in acquiring skills and knowledge that lead to further education, future employment, and personal success. This program is available through the high school.
Director Callahan related several success stories of adults setting a goal to get their GED diploma and at adult education graduation, how excited they were to have achieved this goal. These are life changing experiences that will open new doors of opportunity for these adults.
This is not a large program. They are usually serving eight to 10 people at a time.
The program is computer based and it is a one-on- one situation. They also offer GED preparation and have a number of students that take advantage of this service.
Credit is given for work experience, professional licenses, and for military experience.
"We would like to extend our program to include more adults, but this would require the opening of our budget. Our budget keeps this program small. The school district takes on the cost of the building, the services in the building and the computer people that help with the computers. This program is not self sustaining. We receive funding from the State and the Federal government," said Callahan.
Documentation is maintained for each adult education student. All student hard copy records are kept in the files in the adult education building. They are also kept in computer files as well.
Callahan said, "We are required to have school board approval and a review of our program. As director, I am required to submit an annual report. My goal is to expand this program for Green River and the jail. Our program runs the year around." The Adult Education Program was approved by the board.
Black reported that he negotiated with both the Emery Education Association and the Emery Classified Association and they accepted the offers made by the school district. Johansen added that they appreciated what the school district gives to them and it shows the caliber of our employees. Singleton stated that he met with them and they accepted what was offered. The school board approved the negotiations.
The surplus vehicles list was approved. There are vehicles that are not running or are having problems. There are two buses, one old blue service van in Green River, that vehicle has already been replaced. Also a pickup in Green River used to move grass and branches. Approval was given for continuing the program of funding the $150,000 for a 2011-2012 student built house. They now have one nice looking house finished and on the market. The plan is to build another house just to the north of the finished house on the same street. Superintendent Kirk Sitterud stated that he took the state superintendent and the associate superintendent through the house and showed them homes that students have built. They were very impressed by the quality of workmanship.
The Emery High football field lighting bids were reconsidered, four holes have been dug and heavy equipment crossing the track with outdamage was successful. They have the funds and the project can be completed by the fall. This will be a new system with brighter lights. UCI was the low bidder. The board approved moving this project along.
The adding of an office space to the maintenance building was discussed. Photos of the present building conditions and blue prints for the addition were reviewed. This 24x30 foot addition would be on the east end of the maintenance building. The board approved the plan to build this addition.
Supt. Sitterud said that there were new laws and regulations that he would bring before the board at the next meeting.
Black reported that he was in the process of looking for a new financial program for the School District. "We have set up meetings to demonstrate the different software throughout the summer. We will tour three districts up North to get the perspective of the people using those programs and not the vender perspective," reported Black.
The next school board meeting will be on July 20 at 7 p.m. at the district office.

Canadians show improvement at sitting volleyball world championships
EDMOND, Oklahoma – Canada's men's and women's teams lost its matches on Tuesday morning at the 23-country sitting world volleyball championships but continued to show improvement in what is a first major international experience for the Canadian players.
"The German coach came to me afterwards and said they were in the same situation as us three years ago," said Larry Matthews, head coach of the Canadian women's squad, which lost 25-12, 25-12, 25-8 to the Germans to drop to 0-3 in round robin play so far.
''He told me that we just have to be patient. He was impressed with our girls. We played with a lot of energy.''
Karen McKoy of Lincoln, N.B., one of the first ever players named to the Team Canada squad in 2007 says it important for the players to enjoy this experience.
''The tournament so far has been a real treat for us,'' said McKoy, 48, a member of the Canadian military who served in Bosnia. However her injury was not military-related, she lost a leg to cancer. ''Everyone has got a very positive attitude and for me it's great to see that we're starting to have a base to work with for the future.''
Danielle Ellis of White Rock, B.C., was equally enthusiastic. The Canadians struggled on Monday night in a loss to Lithuania and the goal on Tuesday was to deliver a positive performance.
''We had a good team meeting after last night's match,'' said Ellis. ''And today on the court our communication was better, our first ball contact was better and everyone played at a stronger level.''
The other women team members are Chantal Beauchesne of St-Isidore, Ont., Allison Lang of Edmonton, Leaha Hickman of Lashburn, Sask., Jolan Brunner of Vermilion, Alta., Jordan Funnel of White Rock, B.C., Amber Skyrpan of Wandering River, Alta., and Tanja Hodzic of Vancouver and Krista McDonald of Kinuso, Alta.
In men's competition Canada lost 25-6, 25-10, 25-22 to China to stand at 1-1.
''The score indicates a bit of a blowout but we didn't play that bad,'' said Ian Halliday, head coach of the Canadian men's team. ''The Chinese ran an offence at a speed that we had never seen before and it took us two sets to adjust. In the third set it was a different game and the set could had gone either way.''
The men's team members are Chad Drummond, Austin Hinchey and Doug Learoyd, all of Edmonton, Jose Rebelo of St-Hubert, Que., Kevin Strybosch of London, Ont., Eric Dechaine of St. Lina, Alta., Wilfredo Morewilson of Toronto, Mikael Bartholdy of Calgary and Greg Stewart of Kamloops, B.C.
Round robin action continued Tuesday night for both Canadian teams. The men took on Paralympic champions Bosnia- Herzegovina while the women challenged the U.S.

By PAUL L. YOUNGSt. George
In mid August this year I sent several letters to the editor of the leading daily and weekly newspapers in Utah to warn readers of a very dangerous condition that was lying dormant in all food dispensing outlets. Some papers did not bother to run my warning. I telephoned several state legislators calling their attention to the deadly potential that was silently waiting to break out.
Our state health department is years behind in staffing of their food and health inspectors. And yes, Utah is sitting next door to an outbreak of e'coli, dysentery, diarrhea, hepatitis, or norovirus.
I see in their proposed budget for the year 2006 they are still ignoring this dangerous condition. A public health specialist for the national park service stated that a gastrointestinal illness has affected 100 people on 12 different boating trips, with five tour companies all based in Utah. Some were so serious that they had to be airlifted.
We have food dispensing facilities here in our cities and towns that have not seen a food inspector for more than four years. The fault lies with the state legislators for not giving the health department enough funding to hire more food inspectors.
From 1995 to now, food dispensing outlets have increased more than 600 percent throughout the state. Our health department only receives its regular stipend to cover its regular operating expenditures, but not enough to hire more food inspectors.
We have found our enemy, it is our state legislators.

DescriptionThis is an atmospheric ambient soundtrack which takes the listener into an atmosphere which is quite eerie, desolate and scary. It can be used for background music or underscoring in video games, videos or perhaps even your real-life Halloween-event!
The track starts off rather peaceful and warm, with an Armenian duduk playing a beautiful melody. There's a positive and dreamy, summery atmosphere in the background and the birds are singing cheerfully. When the duduk has finished playing, the atmosphere has already changed for a little bit. It is somewhat less positive now. The birds are going at unease. When the atmospheric transition has completed, a loud cracking of the earth will be heard from which Hades comes. You'll hear a chariot and the whining and footsteps of his horse. Persephone starts to breath heavily. Hades starts speaking to her in a very low/deep indistinctive voice. He then grabs her and takes her down the earth. A lighter cracking of the earth is to be heard again. As they descend downwards to the realm of Hades, the underworld, the atmosphere changes again. Persephone starts to cry, and demonic creatures are slowly being introduced. The track ends in the underworld.
This track is based upon a Greek myth about the goddess Persephone who gets abducted to the underworld by Hades. Enter the old, mythical world, on a sunny day. Persephone is gathering flowers for the upcoming celebration of summer. The weather is great and the birds are singing cheerfully – all is at ease. What a wonderful celebration this is going to be. The folk is prospering well with the recent harvest. When Persephone is about done picking her flowers, she feels a change in the air. "What's that rumbling?" She notices the singing birds changing their song; they no longer sing cheerfully, but rather distressed. At unease she looks around, but there's nothing to see. Just as she heads back to town she feels a strong shaking of the earth. The birds go from their distress to quiet and the atmosphere goes darker. With a loud cracking sound the earth nearby her is splitting apart. From it comes Hades, with his chariot and infernal horse. The lord of the Underworld! Hades approaches her and tells her she's to be condemned to come with him to the underworld for all eternity. Persephone is grabbed by Hades onto his chariot, and down the earth they go; to the underworld where she is to become a goddess.

Internet, Email Force USPS to Cut Saturday First-Class Deliveries Starting August 1
Tiffany Kaiser
February 6, 2013 10:28 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It will save USPS $2 billion annually
Many aspects of our lives have made a
digital transformation
over the last decade or so. We no longer rent physical movies from the video store; we watch them on Netflix or Hulu. We no longer get subscriptions for or pick up the daily newspaper; we read the news online. We don't run to the bank as often for daily finances; we jump on our smartphone, tablet or computer for online banking.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is seeing these shifts in technology as well, but
can't seem to keep up
. Many letters, bills, etc. can now be sent electronically rather than through the mail. Hence, in an effort to save some serious money, USPS will no longer deliver mail on Saturdays starting August 1, 2013.
mail delivery
down to five days per week will save USPS about $2 billion annually. For fiscal 2012, USPS saw a net loss of $15.9 billion (three times the loss record one year previous).
While mail delivery is getting axed, USPS plans to continue package delivery on Saturdays since this particular area has seen a 14 percent increase since 2010. Mail will also still be delivered to P.O. boxes six days per week as well.
In addition, post offices will remain open on Saturdays to allow customers to drop mail/packages off, access post office boxes or buy postage stamps -- although hours will likely be cut.
USPS is expected to give an official announcement today without explicit congressional approval. Lawmakers have said this approval is necessary for a change like cutting Saturday mail delivery, but the USPS is arguing this claim.
As far as the American people go, USPS expects some opposition from those like rural communities that worry a change in scheduling could make low-cost deliveries of items like medication a thing of the past, and publishers who will have to adjust schedules with publication deadlines.
Just last month, it was reported that
USPS wanted to be more digital-friendly
in order to keep up with the times. The agency is working on a digital platform called MyPost, which will allow customers to log in and view all packages that they'll be receiving as well as those they've already received instead of searching several different sites that the packages may be coming from.
However, Paul Vogel, president of digital solutions at USPS, revealed that his office is like "a San Jose startup," with only 15 Android/Apple developers, consultants coming and going, one computer and his BlackBerry smartphone. Technological restrictions make upgrading hard to come by.
A few other major obstacles are legislation needed to get permission for new digital products, the USPS' huge instruction manual for just handful of current products (adding digital products and security certifications would turn that 1,500 page book into something unimaginable), and USPS' losses of nearly $16 billion last year led to legislative proposals to
keep making cuts
(hence, more digital tech may not be in the cards right now).

Is this (F)Art?
October 4, 2010 · Print This Article
I got nothing but sillyness for y'all today, sorry. I've been working really hard lately, honestly! Which is probably why I've found this website, Is it Art or Fart?, so entertaining. It isn't new or anything (though it's new to me), but what is new is the fact that the makers of this irreverent yet actually pretty darn smart website have just published a book based on their project, which documents various phenomena they call 'fart':
"coincidental moments in everyday life that, when isolated and named by artist, bear uncanny resemblance to art seen in museums and galleries around the globe."
A stack of records evokes a Dave Muller record painting, the residual matter torn from billboard paste-ups a Mark Bradford drawing, that sort of thing. Apparently, it's fairly easy to find likenesses to Laura Owens' work in the world art large. I don't get the sense that the people who run this website accept outside submissions, though it would be cool if they did because then there'd be even more fart for us to enjoy.
Not quite as clever in concept or execution, but still related to the general idea, is the website Is This Art? which has an accompanying iPhone app. The idea behind this site, which was co-produced by Deeplocal, the Mattress Factory, and NY art blogger C-Monster, is that you take a picture of something that you're not sure is art but maybe actually is, then submit it and the app renders its verdict. It's a lark, like so many apps are: funny for a few minutes–and the app is free so what the hell–but it runs via a Magic 8 ball-type interface that spits out one of a predetermined set of answers randomly, so that the same picture submitted twice will get two different answers. While fooling around with the app, I took an iPhone snapshot of this thrift store painting, which received the response 'My mother would think this is crap, therefore THIS IS ART.' A picture of my husband's black crocs, which I suspected would receive an affirmative nod because it could, under certain conditions, be thought of as an update on Van Gogh's 1887 A Pair of Shoes, received this feedback: 'This piece is modernist after modernism without being post-modernist, therefore, THIS IS ART.'
I actually think the app might have been right about that one. If nothing else, I'm pretty sure it's fart.

This is Jason Smith. He's a good example of the time if takes for NHL defensemen to develop. New Jersey dealt him for immediate help one trade deadline, old-timey-coach didn't like the cut of his jib in Toronto and sent him away one other time.
When Jason Smith arrived in Edmonton he was battle-hardened, had leadership qualities, had learned to deal with injury, had a boatload of defensive talent and was willing to do damn near anything to establish himself in Edmonton. It takes time to learn NHL defense. A lot of good ones slip away to other teams in their mid-20's.
Steve Tambellini and the Edmonton Oilers are having a nice summer. The entry draft went very well, with Stu (Magnificent Bastard) MacGregor delivering a strong draft list that includes potential Calder candidate Taylor Hall.
The club placed three veterans on waivers (Moreau, Nilsson, O'Sullivan) for the purpose of buying out their contracts only to see the Hockey Gods bless them twice (Moreau claimed by the Jackets and a solid return in exchange for O'Sullivan).
The club entered free agency with a reasonable shopping list and some walking around money.
In the early hours of free agency we heard the Oilers were "in the mix" for Derek Boogaard and Manny Malhotra. These players address specific needs but the eventual pricetag was way too high, indicating Steve Tambellini backed off when the bidding got crazy.
His signing of defenseman Kurtis Foster--at a price of 1.8M times 2 years--has an excellent chance of being a value contract. He's big, has good footspeed and can play the position. He also possesses one outstanding skill--a monster shot from the point. The Oilers are likely to send Sheldon Souray away in trade sometime this summer, so the cannon from the point from Foster means one more need is covered with this free agent signing.
Foster has a nice range of skills, has proven he can help a powerplay and be successful against softer NHL opposition; if there's another gear there this could be a very good acquisition. We should also remember that long list of defensemen who developed late (Jason Smith, Steve Staios, others) and were available to the Oilers at less than 100 cents on the dollar. Foster could find a home in Edmonton, it's happened before.
No matter the outcome, it's a solid bet.
The items remaining on the Oilers shopping list--a veteran center who can win faceoffs; an enforcer who can protect the small and inexperienced forwards; possibly a veteran 2-way winger to mentor the kids ala Fernando Pisani--are all out there and available. Some of the candidates the team might be looking at include Chris Higgins, Eric Belanger and Zenon Konopka.
Steve Tambellini has money in his pocket for free agents, he has the lessons learned from the Phoenix Coyotes and their late summer value contracts a year ago, and he has veteran defenseman Sheldon Souray.
This is turning into a very nice summer.
UPDATE: Oilers have signed Jason Strudwick along with AHL veteran defender Richard Petiot this morning. Also, Ryan Rishaug is reporting that Sheldon Souray has been placed on waivers.
Welcome LT. Souray, that's awesome. Tambo has shown some stones this offseason. The Summer of Steve has not disappointed!
July 02 2010, 11:45AM
I have never read a word you have written until now. Welcome.
Rishaug says that SMAC is still an option. What do you think?
You need a catchy bio-esque line at the bottom of your articles, LT. Brings the whole thing together and warns us that sometimes excellent and sometimes inane (aka, Deep Oil) comments are near at hand.
...And, nice article.
July 02 2010, 01:23PM
Hey Wanye/Bingofuel/SKYNET/whoever,
Can we get LT added to the Voices of the Nation author filter PDQ? Frankly, all the gaudy photoshop and Google images on some of the other authors' posts are a bit too ostentatious for my (boss') liking.
Well LT... let's give this 'Oilernation' site a shot. Hope they are paying you a ridiculous sum to add your skills to the group. Upon early analysis it would appear as though they need you badly. Good luck.
July 02 2010, 01:54PM
Lowetide! Nice to see you here! Just wanted to welcome you to my eyes. Wait a sec...that sounds kinda...funny. Not that there is anything wrong with that..
