The Emery boy's basketball season came to an end a couple of weeks ago and it is now time to take a look back and review the season. The team finished its season when they traveled to Logan for a game against the Grizzlies in the first round of the state 3-A playoffs. Final score in that game was 65-51 for Logan. Logan, at the time, was the number three-ranked team in the state.
In that game, Emery got behind early and could never make up ground on the home team. Emery trailed 20-12 after the first quarter and could get no closer than 6 points the rest of the game.
Dempsey Jeffs had the hot hand in this game as he scored 22 points to lead the Spartans. With the Grizzly defense concentrating on stopping Dave Justice, he was only able to score 10 points. Also scoring in the game was Jordan Gee with 5 points, Kyler Edgehouse, Nevin Jensen and Skyler Jorgenson with 3 points each and Tyler Killpack with 2 points.
The Spartans finished the season in third place in region 8 and finished with a record of 10-12. For as young a team as Emery had this season, this was actually a pretty good accomplishment. Emery only returned three players with much varsity experience and had only two seniors on the team.
Justice finished fourth in the state in scoring with a 17.18 average with Jeffs the only other Spartan to finish in double figures with a 10.36 average. Edgehouse finished 12th in the state in number of 3-pointers with 36 and Jeffs finished with 30. The Spartans averaged 55.55 points per game.

Comfy, but not the best leather quality
"These shoes look nice and have a very comfortable insole, but unfortunately the leather's not great--they developed a crease after the first wearing, and I use shoe trees. They're pretty inexpensive shoes so it's not a huge surprise, but I've seen better leather on shoes under $100.If comfort is very important to you, try these out. If you're looking for a quality shoe that will last, look elsewhere."

The battle to avoid the Pool 6 wooden spoon sees Cardiff Blues host Sale Sharks in the Heineken Cup at the Arms Park on Saturday.
The battle to avoid the Pool 6 wooden spoon sees Cardiff Blues host Sale in the Heineken Cup on Saturday.
The Blues have made two changes to the side that picked up a four-try bonus point in Toulon.
There is one change in the backs with Lloyd Williams returning from suspension to start at scrum-half, Lewis Jones moves to the bench. In the forwards Scott Andrews starts in place of Benoit Bourrust who moves to the bench.
Cardiff Arms Park ground staff have been working hard to prepare the pitch with the RAF on standby to help clear the pitch of any overnight snow.
"Our Heineken Cup campaign started in Sale and it was a ridiculous game to lose. We played well for sixty minutes, with a great team performance but didn't get the result we wanted," said director of rugby Phil Davies ahead of the game.
"Our position in the group obviously isn't where we want to be. We want to be making the quarter-finals and in a couple of years time challenging in the competition. At the moment, the reality is that we are a young side and we are gaining valuable experience in all competitions.
"Saturday's match is a match we want to win for our supporters. Every time we put the shirt on, especially at the Arms Park, it's our responsibility. We want to try and create our own legacy now, making sure we build on all the great work some of the players and coaches have done here in the past. There is always something to every game we play and the players share that sentiment."
Meanwhile, Sale have dropped fly-half Danny Cipriani to the bench and instead go with Rob Miller at number ten, as Cameron Shepherd continues in the full-back position.
Sharks have been preparing for this game using the 3G pitches at the Salford City Stadium as the pitches at their Carrington training base are frozen solid. Their opponents on Saturday are enduring a long losing run in the Heineken Cup having lost their last six.
This will be the sixth meeting between the sides in the Heineken Cup with the home side winning every game. Earlier this season, Sharks looked out of it at half time but an inspired performance by substitute Cipriani saw Sharks win 34-33. A win would mean the Welsh region keeping their place in the top six of the tournament's seedings for 2013/14's draw.
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Owen Williams, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius, 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 James Down, 4 Lou Reed, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Rhys Williams, 1 Sam Hobbs.
Replacements: 16 Kristian Dacey, 17 Nathan Trevett, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 Robin Copeland, 20 Michael Paterson, 21 Lewis Jones, 22 Jason Tovey, 23 Dafydd Hewitt.
Sale: 15 Cameron Shepherd, 14 Tom Brady, 13 Jordan Davies, 12 Mark Jennings, 11 Charlie Amesbury, 10 Rob Miller, 9 Will Cliff, 8 Richie Vernon, 7 David Seymour, 6 James Doyle, 5 Kearnan Myall, 4 Tom Holmes, 3 Vadim Cobilas, 2 Tommy Taylor, 1 Aston Croall.
Replacements: 16 Marc Jones, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Eifion Lewis-Roberts, 19 Richie Gray, 20 Tom Cruse, 21 Nathan Fowles, 22 Danny Cipriani, 23 Mark Cueto.

Amen, Miss Marple. God Bless America.
We'll miss you.
I've tried to take sabbaticals from free republic when things got a little vicious here, but the longest one lasted 3 days.
It's an addiction, but better than meth amphetimine, I guess.
Drop in when you can, and have a wonderful time in England. I've always wanted to go there ... and I speak the language... sort of.
Looks like Newt did pretty good with the indy vote last night.
Christina van den Wacko is all enthralled about the occupiers. Evidently, they are her kind of America. She's a bad trip now on ABC,
Not sure where to find that..if you can, I can paste it to the list of endorsements.
I don't think Perry would take veep. I've heard him disparage it and he has a good job already in politics.
There is a possibility (in my mind) that he would take a high cabinet post if he thought he could be effective.
I think it was Mark Steyn that said it best about who ran Detroit and who ran Michigan. Looks like people getting what they voted for.
Brit and most other FNS types have spent the last 2 days badmouthing Newt. Hard left turn and losing my viewership rapidly. Who can we turn to for "fair/balanced"?
Trip the best candidate.
Newt can and will recover many of the naysayers.
Since Mitt is 0-light he is our only hope!
Once again Christina van den gargle says that we don't need oil for the oil companies to benefit from but green energy.
These people have no concept of reality at all only Marxist theology.
Dear Lord, Joe Scarborough.
The man's hatred of Newt is visceral.
Waving her arms and screaming a fit.
But her fury was reversed,
With an appliance from her purse
While it buzzed, she was moaning: "Oh, Mitt...!"
Well...that's starting to change now that WE voted those people out of office....but the trough dwellers are all here and will turn out in mass again in November...just hoping there are more of WE then them!!
I can't stand what Ann Coulter has become. She lived with a Muslim, got heckled on some campuses, and has definately gone over to the dark side (where she thinks comfort lies).
I think its a lot simpler than that. Ann has always been an attack dog...lots of hyperbole.
If she's your attack dog, she's the best.
If she's attacking you, she's a b*tch.
That doesn't mean that I don't agree or disagree with her on political matters..I just know what she really is and take that into consideration.
She's wrong on ROmney, but she's still the same nasty Ann.
Newt to Gregory: "It's not that Obama is a bad person, it's my understanding that he's really a nice guy in many ways" (paraphrasing)
Well, except fo being an anti-Smerican, thieving Marxist, baby-killing, packer.
Thanks, just really figured out what the Delphi Method was, and when applying it to legislation being passed such as a health care fix; say that yes every one agrees there is a problem, but the conclusion they are supposed to reach is that the Affordable Health Care bill was the right solution, and any other solution was discarded and maligned as being from someone who didn't want people to get medical attention at all.
Dr Dean Edel said it best (paraphrased) 'if you want the best health care, it is going to be expensive', that observation alone would omit affordable as being the best option.
"Theyre getting oil now out of Bakken in North Dakota and Montana."
For a totally idiotic view of this see-
Based on the high unfavs and the also high vote percentage, SC voters agree. I suspect, given our current situation, that a whole lot of Americans share that view.
I heard that exchange and like you, it gave me pause.
BUT...lookit, you really can't have our guys trashing the lawfully elected president too awful much. There's got to be a mid-ground between McCain praising him God almighty and calling him a nasty b*st*rd.
Newt called him a man who governs against everything America was founded on. That was good enough. I daresay most Americans...yay even the precious Independents, agree on.
Just an observation: A couple of times during past debates, Santorum became animated and passionate, and he received audience support. His problem seems to be the rest of the time he does not seem to fire up potential supporters in the base.
JOe left the world of conservatism to enter the gates of hell. He just hasn't figured it out yet.
http://projects.wsj.com/campaign2012/delegates....Thanks to A.Hun. The answer to my first question is Romney 33 and Gingrich 25.
Ann is a pair of boobs and a pair of legs with no brain. No I would NOT kick her out!
DNC Dave is so beat up he's probably in the occupy line for unemployment along with John King. Both licking their wounds and hoping they never see Newt again.
You're welcome. I found that this morning early..looks like a good site for future reference.
You really hit on something.
I'm hoping you are right.I'm also hoping that given just how destructive obama has been as a supposed leader that anyone with any brain cells left at all who gets near a voting machine and has the choice between any of our candidates and zero will make the right choice.Everything is at stake.
So at least she is good for something.Even if its recreational.
I, like others on FR, was shocked by Britt Hume last night! I've always enjoyed him and thought him to be fair and he definitely disappointed me last night. If he was going to quote the poll #s about favorability/unfavorability it would have been nice if he had cited the poll and what day it was taken. When I heard the results he quoted and heard the exit poll results of the SC voters it made me think he was quoting an older poll (probably one taken prior to last Monday). In addition, w/o knowing who took/released the poll and who they polled (e.g., likely voters, registered voters, % of Dims,Pubs, Indies) I'm taking it w a grain of salt right now.
I'm sure the elites on both sides of the aisle & media elites will do everything they can to spout the talking points given to them to talk about how awful, mean & unelectable Newt is hoping to drive public opinion down more. Obviously, some folks will fall for it, but if Newt keeps on campaigning and debating like he has been, I think he'll do fine. Plus, let's face it, many folks are sick and tired of the elites in DC and the media and the Bamster and aren't buying what they keep trying to sell us (e.g., push down our throats). We're sick of the lies and Newt seems to be telling us the truth (refreshing!). I guess only time will tell (with all of us Tebowing through at least mid-Nov). While this is probably the most important election of our lifetimes, it's probably going to be one of the nastiest and fraud-ridden ones as well.
I linked to Will's discussion of 'Romneyness' above. Here's another similar article from Byron York (I like him and thought this was a good article) about Romney's not having the ability to connect with people and Newt's ability to do so, even though Romney seems to stage 'perfect' events & Newt not so much. Newt listens & connects and has great answers.
Why Gingrich won — Why Romney lost
Byron York - Washington Examiner
COLUMBIA, SC — They won't say it publicly — they don't want to appear churlish or disrespectful on a night they took a serious beating — but it's no exaggeration to say that even after losing the South Carolina primary to Newt Gingrich, members of Mitt Romney's circle find it absurd — almost crazy — that the former House speaker has even a ghost of a chance of becoming the Republican Party's presidential nominee.
Just a few days ago, many commentators were suggesting that Romney was likely to win South Carolina, and when he did, the GOP nomination would be his. Now Romney has been soundly rejected in the first primary in the South, the rock-solid base of the Republican Party. What happens next, in Florida, is unclear.
big snip>
Gingrich's success here in South Carolina shows more than just a skepticism toward establishment Republicanism. It also shows a hunger for real substance in the campaign, for a candidate who will talk to voters and give them more than phrases like "I believe in America." Mitt Romney's team of seasoned campaign professionals may not think Newt Gingrich has any business playing a deciding role in the race. But they better believe it, and they better take seriously what the Gingrich challenge represents — before it's too late.
Read entire article here: http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/article/why-gingrich-won-why-romney-lost/328266
Delegate count notwithstanding (and JMHO), the BIGGEST losers in last night's voting were the media. Including some of those who've packaged themselves as Conservative...
....judging by Coulter's reaction, they're just coming to that realization.
Pretty hard to sell anything after you've told your customers that you consider them your enemy.
Which is Romney's problem in a nutshell. After 2008 a great number of Americans have woken up to the fact the political establishment, of both parties, is their enemy.
Elemental liquid Mercury is pretty stable unless you heat it and form a vapor. It doesn't go around attacking other compounds and reacting with them (unlike Chlorine).
If you allow an acid to act on it, or something, then it becomes toxic.
The whole ban on mercury thermostats, switches, mirrors, thermometers etc is just another big hoax.
The highly toxic fluorescent bulb is whole different matter.
Not sure Romney can win in the south. People are missing how much people dislike Obama and the Democrat controlled news media.
That means the Democrat Media has a less favorable rating than the Congress.
Thanks! God sometimes enlightens me; If your the media (subordinate facilitator) and follow the lead, you get Republicans like Maverick McCain and Lindsey Graham to manipulate the discussion in the desired direction, then use some Democrats to isolating and demean opposing viewpoints. Those who are running the shows compile the final agenda for discussion.
Great analysis SC. Newt now on with pathetic Candy on CNN getting in line for her spanking.Newt seems to go easy on her realizing that low IQ talking heads should be given at lest a little slack.
The media suffer from groupthink. They all tend to process information and events through the same prism much the same way as doctors treat backaches according to their specialties. Surgeons want to operate, chiropractors want to twist, pull and push, while naturalists want to give you herbal tea and a massage.
This is the Democrat Media who got Obama elected. This is the Democrat Media who never asks Obama the important questions because they do not want to be blamed for an Obama defeat in November.
Good point.
Those season campaign workers are often political science majors who graduated from liberal colleges where they were taught the GOP place in the political arena. Not how to think only what to think. Newt knows how to think.
Another thought I had was in Newt having to explain his Saul Alinsky comparison and how he would do that, but I'm sure when Newt says it, it'll be like Limbaugh, the final word.
Any bump Zero gets will be because of the media, created by the media out of whole cloth. There is nothing substantial left for Zero to get a bump out of, unless he stands up and repudiates everything he and democrats have done to date, and promises to start dismantleing what dems have worked to build up to now.
and he will be difficult to defeat. You will hear that mantra until after the third or fourth recount, unless it is a total blow out, in which case, we will be angry white males clinging to our guns and bibles.
Newt has the guts to say what we are all thinking. Obama is bad for the country and the Democrat Media is corrupt.
Thanks, now that I no longer afford myself satellite local channels CNN is the only show I can watch in real time, and I probably wouldn't bother with it if Newt wasn't on.
Ted Olsen comes to mind. Once a good conservative, was solicitor genersl, married to Barbare who went down on 9/11, and then he married a leftie, and he now acts like a neutered tomcat.
This basically consists of injecting anhydrous ammonia at the well head and then spraying it into the air over the monoculture corn crop....millions of gallons every day throughout the growing season.
They've done far more damage to the water supply than any pipeline breach could cause.
Newt is doing it again to fat candy(sounds like a mobster). He just handled her like one would handle a school child. So quick an easy. She has to be getting volumes in her ear right now. They are desperate to get anything on Newt and so far very little.
Watched a wee bit of all the pathetic Sunday News Shows.
I had to ask forgiveness from The Lord after screaming vulgarities at Joe Scarborough on MTP. This guy has got a lot of nerve to question anybodies Conservative credentials!
Joe Scarborough sold out long ago on any kind of Conservative thinking...He is such a scumbag, I do not even know where to start?
It should have been Sarah Palin last night, but it`s not, so Newt is the best we have,but for Scarborough to be talking about who or who is not Conservative, is just outrages.
Katrina Vandernoodle got away with saying that the liberal media claim, is just a myth. Not a peep out of George Will to correct her, not surprized,Will sold out years and years ago to be the ABC token "Conservative".

The scene is taken from Louis Auguste de Sainsons's hand-coloured lithograph Vue du Port du Roi Georges printed in 1833. We look out over King George Sound from the right bank of the entrance to Princess Royal Harbour. In the foreground members of the d'Urville expedition interact with a group of Indigenous men. Overlaying the scene is a red target. Apart from the obvious relation to the rifles held by the explorers the concentric circles give reference to both Jasper Johns painting Target as well as the concentric circles found throughout Indigenous Australian visual language. This period of Nyoongar history marks the beginning of a time where new ideas and new language is introduced; the meaning of the concentric circles changes according to the viewer's history, culture, education etc. This symbol could be recognised as a campfire, a waterhole, a retail store logo or as the work of an American pop artist.

Dear Friends,
when we accept the NA reading in Tit 2,5 (OIKOURGOUS), then Paul builded a neologism. Which parts could be seperated and what are the roots of the compound word:
OIK- (house) is clear, but what is -OURGOS?
It must be a two-termination adjective as it's compound, or are there instances for compound forms without this building pattern?

Canada feels better about its play in loss to China at women's world volleyball championships
OSAKA, Japan - Team Canada fell to 0-2 at the 2010 FIVB World Women's Volleyball Championship on Saturday.
Although the set scores didn't reflect it, Canada showed some subtle improvements as they lost in straight sets to third-ranked China by scores of 25-16, 25-19 and 25-10.
"We did a lot better in our transition game and our blocking," said Team Canada head coach Arnd Ludwig. "The girls were way more disciplined in following the game plan. That was the goal for today's game. When China is playing like this, we can't beat them right now. Everybody has to be 100% and then we might have a chance. But what we did in the first two sets was pretty good.
"The team effort was a lot better."
Canada, currently ranked 24th, returns to action on Sunday at 2:30 a.m. EST against Russia, who improved to 2-0 after defeating Turkey 3-1 on Saturday and is tied for top spot in Pool D with South Korea. Yimei Wang was a dominant force for China, collecting 19 points on 16 kills, two blocks and a service ace.
Tiffany Dodds led team Canada offensively with seven kills and three blocks, while Sarah Pavan had seven kills, one block and an ace.
"Against these teams, there's an adaptation period where you just have to adapt to their style," added Team Canada captain Tammy Mahon. "But we're focusing too much on what the opposition is doing rather than what we can do. We forget that we also are really good and just have to do what we do. We need to be more assertive."
Prior to the match, Ludwig urged his players to be more demonstrative and show more fire between points and it was mission accomplished on that front.
"Our body language on the court was like the team that I know," said Ludwig. "There were some good rallies. We had some good digs. There are some balls where I think we should go with some more risk, where we are hesitating or setting the ball over instead of hitting. But I'm encouraged.
"We took a step up and now we need to take the next step."
Through two days of competition, Pool D remains wide open.
After the two teams at 2-0, China and Turkey are tied for third place at 1-1, while Canada and the
Dominican Republic are tied for fifth place at 0-2.
Only the four top teams in Pool D advance to the second round of competition.

Members of the Sinbad Desert Amateur Radio Club met to take the licensing test near the Wedge Overlook. This was the annual spring outing for the SDARC club that includes members from Carbon, Emery and surrounding counties. Amateur radio is often called ham radio and is both a hobby and service in which participants use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.
Friday night some of the members and their families had a large campfire. Around the fire ring they bragged about the places around the world where they had talked on their radios. The types of radios, kinds of antennas, how much gain was used and how many watts of power was necessary to make the radio contact. During Friday night radio contacts were made with ham radio operators from as far away as Europe and Asia. Two contacts in Japan were reported. Saturday radio signals from ham radio stations in Arizona and along the Southern United States and Mexico were coming in very well.
On Saturday at 10 a.m. those that thought they had studied enough to pass the test to become a ham radio operator in one of the three classifications; technician, general or the extra class were given the opportunity to try. Not all of those taking the tests passed. However six did pass the tests and will get their license or their license upgraded to a higher level. Bret Mills of Castle Dale and Bryan Anderson of Huntington were two of the instructors and volunteer examiners for the test. Ross Sacco of Price was the volunteer exam administrator with the help of two other volunteer examiners. Three examiners are required to administer a ham radio test.
To pass the ham radio test an individual has to study the 392 questions, 35 of which will be on the technician test. Learning Morse code is no longer required to be a ham operator at any level or class. The Element 3 General Class has 484 questions of which 35 multiple choice, will be on the test. A passing grade is to answer 74 percent of the questions correctly. Practice tests are available at QRZ.com.
The amateur radio tests cover such things as how to talk to fellow hams, the ionosphere, signal propagation, sun spots, radio band frequencies, electronics, FCC rules and antennas.
After the test a photo was taken of those who took the test, the instructors and those that administered the test.
At this spring outing Jim Anderson, KJ7S demonstrated the Emery County/SDARC, Emergency Communications Portable Operations Center.
This communications trailer is equipped with two high frequency radios (one of which is a flex radio attached to a computer) three dual band radios, and one public service radio. They are ready to provide emergency communications anytime, anywhere, when normal communications are unavailable.
The rest of the afternoon was taken up with riding 4- wheelers, visiting the Wedge and of course listening to ham radio signals. That evening during the steak fry George Ingram of Price gave training about the National Traffic System which is the American Relay League sponsored amateur radio message-handling network. Handling of third party traffic is one of the oldest traditions of amateur radio.
The National Traffic System nationwide has hundreds of local and section networks that meet daily to facilitate the delivery of messages. In Emery County the net usually meets at 9 p.m. using the repeater on Horn Mountain or other mountains that are linked to repeaters on mountains all over the state of Utah. These repeaters for relaying messages were put up, on the mountains, from funds donated by amateur radio clubs. The repeaters are maintained by the same radio clubs.
What do ham radio operators do besides listen for radio signals from far away places? They provide emergency communication services in times of emergencies such as the Crandall Canyon Mine Disaster, Katrina, the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York, etc. They assist in search and rescue operations. Groups floating the Green River use local ham radio operators to get help to those in need of assistance. When the World Trade Center went down, the communications towers on top of the buildings went down also. The loss of the communications towers required ham radio operators to fill in communications with their mobile and handheld radios communicating through repeaters on other buildings in the city.
Recently in California on April 9, some saboteurs opened two manholes in San Jose and two manholes in Santa Cruz, Calif. and cut the underground fiber optic cables. The cutting of those cables interrupted all of the city's communication capabilities including telephone, 911 the Internet, and cellular phones. Ham radio operators in and around these cities were called on to provide communications for the hospitals and the police. They are the extra eyes and ears to assist in any emergencies.
Ham radio operators are a valuable asset to the local community, to the nation and to the world. An estimated 6 million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio. Ham radio began officially in the early 1900s.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "The ham radio service offered by our local club is very valuable to our whole communications sytem and our ability to maintain communication should our regular avenues of communication be disrupted. Ham radio is a real asset to our county. Ham radio works when nothing else will. We always use ham radio communications for the Friendship Cruise each Memorial weekend along the Green River. It is the only communications service which works along that river corridor. We highly support our local club and the important role they play in the safety of our county."

This month's scan of the most overbought Dow's stocks has many of the recent top performers and the monthly charts of these four, says MoneyShow's Tom Aspray, makes them attractive buy candidates on a correction.
The impressive stock market gains so far in 2013 has certainly gotten the attention of both the media and the investing public. Anyone who doesn't know that the Dow Industrials closed above 14,000 Friday must be living in a cave.
Most also know that historically a higher close in January has meant that stocks will be up for the entire year. This, of course, is based on average gains and as I pointed out on Friday the yearly performance after a higher January was varied widely. The last time the market had this strong a close was 1997 and it ended the year with a 31.7% gain.
Even in 1997 stocks peaked on February 18 and then underwent a 10.4% correction. Therefore the monthly starc band scan of the stocks in the Dow Industrials can help identify those stocks to buy when the market corrects.
For those who are not familiar with these monthly scans, it identifies those stocks that are closest to either the upper (starc+) or lower (starc-) bands. When a stock is near the starc+ band, it is a high-risk buy but that does not mean the stock cannot still go higher. If a stock closes above the monthly starc+ band for several consecutive periods, then it becomes increasingly more vulnerable.
At the top of this month's list is The Travelers Companies (TRV), which the table indicates closed the month at $78.46, 3.5% below its monthly starc+ band. It was also one of the month's best performers, up 9.2% while the second stock on the list, Pfizer Inc. (PFE) was up 8.7%.
A close analysis of the monthly charts allows one to better identify those that are just beginning a new run to the upside and are likely the best ones to buy on a correction. Let's take a look at those stocks whose monthly charts suggest have the best upside potential.
Chart Analysis: McDonald's Corporation (MCD) was the star performer in 2011, up 30.7%, but it was followed by a 4.4% loss in 2012. The monthly chart shows a normal corrective pattern from the January 2012 high at $102.22.
- The January close above the September-October 2012 highs at $94-$94.16 highs suggests that the correction was over.
- The 127.2% Fibonacci upside retracement target from the corrective pattern is at $107.41.
- The monthly relative performance has turned up from long-term support, line c, but is still well below its WMA.
- The RS line did confirm the highs made in early 2012, line b.
- The monthly OBV has moved above its WMA after holding above the support at line d.
- The weekly technical studies (not shown) have moved above their MAs indicating that a new uptrend is underway.
- The weekly OBV (not shown) has moved well above the early 2012 highs.
- The downtrend on the weekly chart and first support is at $91.35 with the quarterly pivot at $89.20
- MCD yields 3.2%.
The 3M Company (MMM) broke out of a 12-year trading range in January as it closed well above the resistance at $98.40, line e.
- From the October 2011 lows at $68.63, the 127.2% Fibonacci target is at $105.
- There are longer-term targets in the $120-$125 area.
- The monthly relative performance has turned up from long-term support, line f, that goes back to 2006.
- The RS line has moved back above its WMA.
- The on-balance volume (OBV) is much stronger as it overcame resistance going back to 2007 in early 2012.
- The OBV has continued to make new highs and is well above its rising WMA.
- There is initial support now at $98.50 with stronger at $95.50-$96
- MMM yields 2.30%.

Last week in Orangeville a Halloween prank caused some attention. An effigy of President Obama being hanged by an effigy of Gov. Romney was on display in the yard. The secret service came to the county to interview the resident who put the display up. When they arrived the display had been taken down. They were warned about the seriousness of such a display against the President of the United States.
County residents were alarmed by the display. The Salt Lake papers and a television station reported about the episode. One Castle Dale resident said, "This is a serious event. I feel like our local newspaper the Progress should have something in about this incident. I don't want it blown out of proportion and I am sure these are good people, but this is not something that we as a community should put up with. We have black families in our communities and neighborhoods, this is wrong. This is offensive. We do not condone this type of behavior here. This is racist, this is harmful. These might be good people, but this is wrong. These people have crossed the line. These types of incidents cause racial tension. The secret service was here. People need to acknowledge this act was offensive."
Editor's note: I do not know the rationale behind the actions of the Orangeville residents in question. I would hope they just had a very stupid moment when they decided to have this type of scene in their yard. Sometimes things become bigger than they really are when situations receive a lot of attention. This episode should be acknowledged that it happened but I would hope it is an isolated incident. I think our president deserves to be treated with respect, because he holds the highest office in our country. Our country was founded as a place where freedom could flourish. That is why there can be episodes like this here in America. Our people are not censored, for the most part we are able to speak and decorate our yards as we see fit. In this situation a line was crossed, it was in very poor taste to say the least, very offensive and illegal to threaten our president in any way. I have lived in Emery County for 40 years now and I have found the people for the most part to be very nice, tolerant and not racist. I am sure there are a few, just like there could be a few in every city or neighborhood across the nation. I would hope the people of the county will treat our president with the respect he deserves, whether or not you agree with his policies, and whether or not you are going to vote for him in the upcoming election.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
This picture illustrates the clandestine love of Venus, wife of Vulcan, and Mars, and is taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses (IV, 167-189). Within the immense and complex residence of Vulcan, whose forge appears at the end of the colonnade of the loggia, the two lovers surrender to their passion on the dazzling counterpane in the company of five putti, two of whom amuse themselves with the bedding, while the remaining trio play with the god of war's armour-a clearly humorous, anti-classical touch. The compositional stratagems adopted for the little building shown behind the bed, the highly decorated bas-reliefs and the gesturing statues in the niches (which one sees again in the Presentation of the Virgin in Santa Maria in Acquiro in Rome), and the red drapery on the columns, painted with such movement as to make the fabric almost anthropomorphic, are all delightful exercises in painterly illusionism.
The Venetian Carlo Saraceni is mentioned by the Sienese doctor and historian Giulio Mancini as among those who first adopted Caravaggio's naturalistic language (albeit with the limiting expression 'in part'). Mancini's statement should not surprise us, but it is obvious that any sympathy for Caravaggio (which is, indeed, undeniable, though not so marked in Saraceni as to warrant his inclusion among his most enthusiastic supporters) cannot have occurred much before 1606, the year in which Saraceni signed his Rest on the Flight into Egypt at the Camaldolese Hermitage in Frascati.
The refined picture in the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection belongs instead to the pre-naturalistic phase of the Venetian painter whose short career still includes too many interpretative uncertainties, particularly concerning the issue of his formative years. If we are to trust his biographer, Giovanni Baglione, Saraceni reached Rome in the last years of the 16th century where he was admitted into the workshop of the Vicenzan sculptor Camillo Mariani. It is difficult to hazard any guesses as what specific influence Mariani may have had on Saraceni. Modern criticism has opted to see "Carlo Veneziano's" early training as essentially with the 16th century mould (Bassano, Romanino, Savoldo) with additional Roman elements derived from the Cavaliere d'Arpino, as well as from the new Emilian classicism and from the "focus on the natural motif, applied with extreme lucidity by Elsheimer". In the midst of this complex and intriguing mixture of influences it is clear that the Thyssen-Bornemisza Venus and Mars departs from the early international Mannerism (albeit without repudiating it completely) to adopt the neo-Raphaelesque, classicist viewpoint of the followers of the Carracci. Although the copper support contributes to the emphasis on the unblemished surface and the roundness of the lovers' limbs, of the putti, and the various furnishings and in particular Mars's shield and helmet, it is still the case that this crude optical objectivity derives from Saraceni's sympathy for Domenichino and, perhaps even more so, for Albani whose somatic typology is so notably evident in the five putti. It is emblematic that the clean profile against the white background of the wing and the flat gold and chestnut curls of the largest putto (the only one with wings) who is looking at his reflection in the mirror as he irreverently waters the helmet, is practically a pure imitation of Albani.
This figure in fact marks the starting point for the moderate enthusiasm for Caravaggio and the classicising elegance shown two decades later by a Veronese sympathiser of Saraceni's, Alessandro Turchi (for example, his adolescent angel in The Flight into Egypt in the Prado). It was in fact on Veronese artists in Rome that this early work of Saraceni's exercised its greatest influence. Ottani Cavina aptly dates it to the beginning of the 17th century, just later than or concurrent with its close kin, the Bathing Venus and Mars in Sir Anthony Clark's Collection in Minneapolis, while Waddingham thinks it belongs to the beginning of the second decade). Bassetti, for instance, in a composition of the Chastity of Joseph offered an analogous array of niches and moving statues in a loggia in the background. Again, Saraceni repeated his extravagant trompe-l'oeil drapery in the frescoes of the Sala Regia in the Quirinale Palace, a testing ground for his Veronese followers.

"And she said to her father, 'Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go and wander upon the mountains and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.'"
Judges 11: 37
Amplified Bible
I And My Companions
Companion: One who accompanies or keeps company with another. One of a matched pair, such as bookends.
"Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter."
Izaak Walton
Is there a person in my life who has made my burdens lighter and my journey shorter?
What is my personal definition of the word, "companionship?"
"I suppose there is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul."
Edith Wharton
"My friends are my estate."
Emily Dickinson
Not long ago, a friend emailed me a video entitled, "Friends." I'm not certain what it was I expected to see but I was in for a delightful surprise.
In the state of Tennessee, here in the United States, is a Sanctuary located on 2700 acres of land where old, retired elephants, find a haven to live out the rest of their lives.
Interestingly, the reporter telling the story, informed viewers, while the elephants arrive one by one from various parts of the country, it doesn't take long before they "pair up" in bonds of friendship. But, there's one unique "pair" that developed which surprised the co-founders of this restful habitat. While the elephants are the main inhabitants of the property, stray dogs also wander the land. To the utter surprise of everyone, a dog, they called "Bella," became the inseparable friend of an elephant named Tara. They kept as close as possible – wandering the fields together. However, one day, Bella, the dog, suffered a severe back injury which left her temporarily paralyzed. The co-founders of the Sanctuary had to keep Bella inside their infirmary where she was immobilized for three weeks. And what of Tara, her elephant pal? Tara came to the infirmary and stood outside, as close as she could get to her ailing friend. One day, the co-founder, decided Bella, the dog, was well enough for him to carry her outside to the place where Tara, the elephant, had planted herself. To everyone's absolute delight, little Bella began to wag her tail, evidence of her joy at being reunited with her friend. While there were immense differences in appearance, size and habits, an uncommon bond joined these two – a bond we humans call companionship.
In our text for today, after the daughter of Jephthah found out the consequence of her father's hasty and careless words, she asked for one thing: "That I and my companions spend two months together." In Hebrew translation, the particular word, "companions," used in this verse specifically means "female associates." These were women she confided in. These were women she sought-out for comfort and encouragement.
In a time when her world was caving in, it wasn't family Jephthah's daughter wanted to go to, it was her girlfriends. May I say, the same often holds true for many of us today.
How thankful I am that in the midst of this tragic story, we uncover, what I believe to be, one of our heavenly Father's main reasons for placing this story within the pages of the Holy Scripture.
Not just in this Old Testament story, but also in the New Testament story of Jesus' life, the bonds that were woven between the lives of women provided solace during heartache; strength during weakness; and faithfulness during times of hopelessness.
This is why, from the story of Jephthah's daughter, we will spend time looking at the qualities that true female friends bring to their relationships with each other.
And to all the wonderful men who come to the "garden" regularly, there will be some highlights for you, too. For you may more clearly get an illuminated insight into the importance and function of friendship in the lives of the women in your own lives, while at the same time, you may explore ways to become better friends, as well.
In 1866, author Dinah Craik penned these descriptive words, "Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling "safe" with a person – having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."
May this be the example of companionship we offer to those in our lives – every day. And may this be the lesson we learn from the life of Jephthah's daughter.
"Time passes.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
People don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
Sisters are there,
no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you.
A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your lives will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you….Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters. daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, mothers, g0randmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still."
Author Unknown
A Companion's Prayer
"O God,
You inhabit my heart, soul and body and those of all my sisters around the world. Be the bond that binds us together through the tough times. Be the Spirit of solidarity at the heart of our global love for You. Make us one in one another through the unity of Your presence. Fill us, fulfill us, and free us from all that hurts and hinders Your free-flowing love within us. Come, and as we journey together, be with us now and forever, Amen."

Today's Reading: Psalm 123-125; 1 Corinthians 10:1-18
Today's Thoughts: Whom Are You Seeking?
Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" John 20:15
The first person Jesus appeared to after His death was to Mary Magdalene. She had already told the disciples that Jesus' body was missing. Peter and John ran to see. Peter did see but John saw and believed. The word "believe" means that he put his trust in God for what had happened. None of them had yet understood the resurrection. He just believed that God was responsible for the missing body of Jesus.
While the disciples went home, Mary stayed at the tomb. She wept and stooped down to look into the tomb. Two angels in white were seated there and they spoke with her. She continued crying and questioning and seeking Jesus, despite the actual presence of angels. She would only be satisfied with Jesus Himself. Jesus stood behind her, but it wasn't until He called her by name that she turned and clung to Him. I can imagine Mary was thinking, "You got away from me once and I am not letting You go again." Once again, Mary went to the disciples, but this time with a different message. She had sought Jesus and He found her.
The first person Jesus revealed Himself to as "the Christ" was the Samaritan woman (John 4). And the first person Jesus revealed Himself to after His death was Mary Magdalene.

how long are they keep tha filer going
I heard a rumor that there was only 2 more filler episodes.
Aim: Frostfox87
Current mood: Bored
At least the episodes that aren't fillers cover more than a single page from the manga. Unlike Naruto, Bleach episodes aren't slow motion.
As much as filler sucks, at least it isn't horrible filler with light sabers and animation they got because they bought it in bulk like Naruto. There are possible story lines and some character development.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
PGP Key Here
Filler suck, but they are neaded to let the Manga go on.
Thanks for the fast releases every week.

Skip to comments.Report: Military voters in four states not receiving absentee ballots
Posted on 10/17/2012 8:00:11 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Jurisdictions in at least four states - Vermont, Michigan, Mississippi and Wisconsin - failed to send absentee ballots to members of the military by the required September 22 deadline, Breitbart.com reported Monday.
Republican lawmakers sent a letter to the Departments of Justice and Defense demanding assurances that the rights of military personnel and overseas citizens who vote absentee will be protected in the November elections after learning the states failed to mail the ballots by the deadline, the Army Times said.
We are concerned that, absent prompt and effective remedial action, some men and women in uniform will be deprived of the 45-day window to vote guaranteed by the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act," wrote Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Daniel E. Lungren (R-CA), chairman of the House Administration Committee and Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
"While implementation and enforcement of the MOVE Act appear on course as an improvement over the poor performance we saw in the 2010 elections, we are concerned about the currently reported shortcomings. If any element of local, state or federal government does not abide by the MOVE Act, the result should not ever be the disenfranchisement of any member of the armed services, they wrote.
According to the Times, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the state of Vermont, alleging the state violated the law.

Romney Sues Wisconsin, Seeks Absentee Ballot Extension
SOURCE: http://joemiller.us/2012/10/obamas-dod-at-work-military-absentee-ballot-requests-drop-by-over-90-in-some-states/?utm_source=JoeMiller.US+List&utm_campaign=9751214a1a-USJF_10_16_2012&utm_medium=email
Obamas DoD at Work: Military Absentee Ballot Requests Drop by Over 90% in Some States
Requests from military voters for absentee ballots have dropped significantly since 2008, according to newly released statistics, prompting claims that the Department of Defense is dragging its feet in enacting a law meant to boost military voting.
The drop in the battleground states of Virginia and Ohio is among the most pronounced. According to statistics released Monday by The Military Voter Protection Project, the number of absentee ballot requests by both military members and other overseas voters in the two states has dropped 70 percent since 2008.
Virginia had nearly 42,000 total requests in 2008, compared with a little more than 12,000 this year, according to the MVP Project. Ohio had more than 32,000 in 2008, compared with 9,700 this year. The number of military voters specifically as opposed to military and overseas voters was not broken down in the latest set of statistics, but military-only numbers released by the MVP Project in August documented a similar drop-off in applications.
At the time, military ballot requests in Virginia were down 92 percent. Several other states showed a precipitous drop since 2008, including Alabama, North Carolina and Florida.
Now, if a Republican president failed to mail out absentee ballots to welfare counties, the MSM would have a coronary! Those are democrat voters!
Romney and company need to make this into an ad and buy the airtime to really let the people running the elections process in those states get clobbered with it and slime Obozo and his justice department in the process.......
RE: Clinton did the same thing to get reelected.
Would the Military vote have MATTERED in 1996?
Dole was beaten badly 49-41 (with Perot at 8.4%).
Clinton won 379 electoral votes with Dole at 159.
Our military has communications equipment secure enough to issue launch orders for nuclear launches. The only reason for our military to not be able to vote electronically, is because there are those who would prefer the votes of military members to go uncast, or barring that, uncounted.
These state officials and bureaucrats are breaking federal law.
They should be charged and prosecuted to the full extent of that law.
Rudy Giuliani for Attorney General! The guy that took down the NY mob is the perfect choice to prosecute the whole mess of corrupt officials and bureaucrats that have plundered the federal budget for the last four years.
do they have people on the inside dumping applications in the trash?
All that Big Ears has to do is file an EO deleting the military vote. Whoever opposes such action will their suit sent to the leftist appointed judges & they will stand up for the left. Why not, this is a banana republic.
RE: Al Sharpton- Jessee Jackson Where are you?
That's like talking to a brick wall...
They're only concerned about disenfranchisement when the victims are BLACK *AND* LIBERAL.
there are bussloads of blacks in lines at the county recorders offices nationwide casting Provisional Ballots
I contacted the County Clerk before boot camp and signed up for an absentee ballot. I kept them informed of my whereabouts every time I moved.
I never missed an electrion in six years, but then I took persoanl responsibility for assuring my ballot could find me.
The guy here in my township was in the process of shipping out of Afghanistan and headed for Fort Hood. Apparently during his last month he wasn't firmly attached to any particular unit and was floating. He showed up at the township office while he had 5 days leave before reporting to Texas.
Sounds like they just let him vote absentee rather than try to fix things.
That was smart of him to show up at the township office. Hopefully the township has procedures on keeping in touch with residents in the military, or the lead clerk is personally involved.
My home county in Oregon kept in contact by occasionally sending me postcards I could send in whenever my duty station changed. Since I was at one duty station for 51-months there wasn't much need for the postcards.
It was a small county, and everyone knew everyone else. Our county clerk had a son who was a Marine.
I'm not familiar with how the military ballots are mailed. Is it from some entitey in the state [statewide] or is it from the local county? The article doesn't indicate one way or the other.
One problem is that like many of the little towns in Michigan is that military ballots aren't at all common. My township of 1800 people usually has 2 or 3 military ballots to mail out. Other smaller townships might not see a military ballot for 10 years.
Mosherville Michigan is taking heat for 1 ballot that a service member got 4 days late. The ballot apparently got held up somewhere in transit. Nobody did anything wrong and the soldier has probably voted and got the ballot back home by now.
Sadly, looks like most FReepers want it to be fraud and will ignore any other explanations.
I don't know about other states but here in Michigan they're taken care of at the township level. However it should be pointed out that the soldier has some responsibility of his own.
Personally I think the military should conduct their own balloting and count them as votes where the service member is based.

Man Food
Man Food - v0.0.2
Matthias Rigling (macorig)
In the year 2022, 10 years after the zombie apocalypse, the few human survivors live in fortified colonies. Their main source of food are stray cats that wander about the deserted and zombie-infested ruins of humanity's once prosperous civilization. You are one of the few who dare to leave the colony to hunt down and collect these valuable and vital food resources.
The goal of this project is to create an interesting gaming experience based on a mix between platforming and classic adventure mechanics.
About the code
The game's using masks for collision detection, which allows me to completely design a level in a graphics program (i.e. Photoshop) rather than a level editor.
I'm not really an experienced programmer and chances are I never will be (I'm more focusing on game design and art).

Drip or micro irrigation makes watering more efficient, saves you time, conserves water and makes sure your plants will thrive!
Simply put, drip irrigation is the process of delivering water, in a slow and steady manner, to the soil. Emitters, devices that deliver the water, are placed near the plant base so that the water can be delivered directly to the roots of plants. Since there is less evaporation with drip irrigation, the water is delivered right where it's needed and there is no overspray - sending water where it isn't needed.
Micro-sprays work in a similar way, using miniature sprayers to deliver water to individual plants or to small garden areas.
BotAlt=Drip Irrigation [1]h drip irrigation systems and micro-spray systems keep the soil evenly moist, reducing stress on plants and promoting healthy growth.
Drip irrigation systems have been used in commercial landscapes and agricultural applications for years. Now the technology is available to every homeowner, from the most avid landscaper to the weekend gardener. Toro Blue Stripe® Drip products [2] are perfect for the home gardener, says Laura Lopez, Senior Marketing Manager for Toro DIY Water Management.
Blue Stripe® is very easy to install. It is typically placed above ground; there is no digging involved, and it's easy to move around when you change your landscape design. Drip irrigation is the perfect watering solution for vegetable and flower gardens, hanging baskets, pots and landscape shrubs.
Toro Blue Stripe® Drip products offer everything you need to install your own system. Create your own custom system with individual parts or choose the kit that contains everything you need to get going. It attaches directly to any garden faucet or existing sprinkler riser and can be put together in minutes.

The work of both a task force and a committee is done, and now the business of drawing up rules to implement Amendment 64 is in the hands of the Colorado General Assembly. With less than a month left in the 2013 session, the Legislature will need to hustle on the matter of recreational marijuana.
As lawmakers debate the merits of the recommendations they've been handed, one issue that will come up is how to deal with pot tourism. Already, a company promising cannabis-related vacations has sprouted in Denver, with April 20 — also known endearingly by many marijuana-smokers as "4/20" — being its first big push.
It seems unlikely the Legislature would altogether ban out-of-state folks from purchasing pot. Doing so would be against the advice of the Amendment 64 Task Force and would cost the state a potentially large source of revenue. But there could be limits imposed, perhaps below the threshold of those facing residents, on how much marijuana visitors could legally procure. And, certainly, the law would require them to smoke or otherwise partake here in the Centennial State.
Amid myriad gray areas, at least one thing is black and white: What's smoked in Colorado must stay in Colorado.
We're not endorsing use of marijuana in any way, but if you choose to use, remember that you are breaking the law if you take it outside state lines.
Kansas, for one, has been a nervous neighbor since Amendment 64's passage in November. Last month, Kansas' appeals court ruled it is illegal to possess pot even if it was legally purchased in another state. (For that matter, possession is still in violation of federal law, but that's a larger matter for another day.)
Earlier this month, a Colorado woman was arrested in Salina, Kan., on charges of marijuana possession. She had nearly 4 pounds of pot, police say.
While that amount would have been against the law even in Colorado — where residents may legally possess up to 1 ounce for recreational purposes or up to 2 ounces for medicinal reasons — it does shine a light on a problem. A commander with a Kansas drug task force told reporters Colorado pot is increasingly becoming a concern in his state.
Like it or not, Colorado may be well on its way to becoming known as a destination spot for pot enthusiasts. But developing a reputation among neighboring states as a source of contraband is unacceptable.
Our state's legislators, law enforcement agencies and residents should work to nip this problem in the bud.
