Illinois &
Michigan Canal
History buffs, nature lovers
and sportsmen will thrill to the sights and sounds of the 96-mile route
of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Along its banks are numerous state
parks, restored historical sites, and abundance of wildlife and distinctive
landscapes, ranging from bluffs to rolling hills. Visitors can follow
the I&M Canal State Trail along the old towpath at Rockdale
to LaSalle, experiencing 61.5 miles of scenic views and
the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers. At every turn, trail users will find
something of interest. One can spend an afternoon or several days exploring
the wonders along this picturesque and unique area.
This canal provided
the first complete water route from the east coast to the Gulf of Mexico
by connecting Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River by way of the Illinois
River. French explorers Joliet and Marquette recognized the value of this
water route for navigation in the 1600s. It was used heavily by Native
Americans and traders from this time until 1823 when Illinois created
a Canal Commission to oversee design and construction of the I&M Canal.
The canal was completed in 1848, at a cost of $6.5 million. It
begins at the south branch of the Chicago River at Bridgeport and extends
96 miles to the Illinois River at LaSalle. Originally 60 feet wide
and 6 feet deep, the canals 15 locks accommodate differences
in elevation. Commercial traffic began immediately, with barges pulled
by mules or horses walking on the towpaths. In 1933, the Illinois Waterway
was completed and the I&M Canal was closed to navigation. Since then,
the canal has been developed for recreation, with the addition of shelters and picnic
areas and renovation of the tow path for hiking and bicycling.
Interpretive programs and information centers are located at key locations
along the trail.
Parks along Canal
The trail on the old canal towpath is easy walking and gives access to unparalleled scenic and historic sights. Bicyclists also can take advantage of the groomed towpath to enjoy the natural and manmade wonders. The trail is marked and has wayside exhibits describing features of the canal. Due to the trails's composition, horseback riding isn't allowed.
After a minimum of 4 inches
of snowfall, snowmobilers may travel the 61.5 miles of marked trail available
along the canal. Call the nearest park office for snowfall
and trail condition information.
Backpack carry-in
is allowed at designated sites along the trail. Tent and youth group camping
also is available at Channahon and Gebhard Woods. Open fires are permitted
in campstoves and fire pits provided at the sites. Permits must be obtained
from the park offices prior to camping.
Channahon State Park
provides shelters, tables and campstoves, along with playgrounds, restrooms
and water fountains. Tthere are restrooms
and drinking water located at the west end of William G. Stratton State Park, along the Illinois
River. Gebhard Woods provides rustic beauty with five shady picnic areas which include,
tables, shelters, restrooms and water fountains. Join
in a baseball game on the diamond while the smaller children enjoy the
playground area. Buffalo Rock State Park offers several picnic areas with
ample shade, as well as a shelter house with a fireplace and restroom.
Bring your fishing
gear to the canal and test your skill at catching bass, crappie, bluegill,
carp, catfish and bullhead. Pond fishing also is available at Gebhard
Woods. River fishing is popular at William G. Stratton State Park on the
Illinois River.
Canoeists can travel
15 miles of open water in the canal between Channahon and Gebhard
Woods State Parks, and 5 miles between Utica and LaSalle. Canoe access also is available
at the Aux Sable Aqueduct and at Lock 14 in LaSalle.
Boating enthusiasts
have easy access to the Illinois River at William G. Stratton State Park.
Any one of the four boat launching ramps will provide your start to an
afternoon of boating, fishing or water-skiing.

and Unique Sites
The historic city
of Lockport is located along the Chicago to Rockdale portion of the canal.
Here visitors can tour the renovated Gaylord Building, constructed of
native dolomite limestone, which served as a supply depot during the canal
construction period. Today the building houses displays of the canal and
a restaurant.
The restored Nettle Creek Aqueduct
is located in Gebhard Wood State Park. In this picturesque area, visitors
can relax among stone and wooden structures built by the Civilian Conservation
Corps during the 1930s.
Located in Ottawa
is the Fox River Aqueduct, the largest aqueduct on the I&M Canal.
One of the largest
earth sculptures ever built, the Effigy Tumuli, is located near Buffalo
Rock State Park. This reclaimed mine site has turned a barren wasteland
into an area filled with recreational opportunities and interesting landscapes.
It contains five large, earthen figures (effigies) of native aquatic animals
represented in geometric form - a water strider, frog, catfish,
turtle and snake. Marvel at the artwork formed with aid of
heavy construction equipment.
The M.J. Hogan Grain Elevator in Seneca has gone through an extensive
refurbishing. This elevator, formerly know as the Seneca Grain Elevator,
is the only remaining historic grain elevator along the canal that was
in operation during the canal's early days.
To tour
the elevator, call the Gebhard Woods office at (815) 942-0796.

Lauriers G.E.N.I.U.S. camp helps girls hone science skills
Jun 24/13| For Immediate Release
Colleen Willard-Holt, Dean, Faculty of Education
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications and Public Affairs
WATERLOO Lauriers Faculty of Education and its Centre for Women in Science are joining forces this summer to offer an innovative science camp for girls in Grades 7 to 9 called Girls Exploring New Ideas Using Science (G.E.N.I.U.S.).
G.E.N.I.U.S. will be held at Lauriers Waterloo campus July 8 to 12, and will focus on topics including aeronautics, engineering, electronics, chemistry, biology, and optics. Students will have the opportunity to work on projects related to these topics, and interact with professors in customized lectures. They will also visit the Waterloo-based Perimeter Institute, a leading centre for scientific research, training, and educational outreach in foundational theoretical physics, and the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre, where they will explore the science of the incredibly small.
With the opening of the Centre for Women in Science, we have the capacity to work collaboratively and innovatively to inspire girls to focus on science, said Colleen Willard-Holt, dean of Lauriers Faculty of Education. This is an excellent opportunity for young women to expand their minds with others who are also interested in science and technology.
The mandate of the Centre for Women in Science is to increase the number of female leaders and role models in academia, government and industry, as well as to celebrate womens contributions to science and mathematical social sciences.
What better way to encourage gifted girls to go into math and science than to develop these ideas early on in a students education, said Shohini Ghose, associate professor of Physics and Computer Science and director of the Centre for Women in Science. We are very happy to be partnering with the Faculty of Education for this initiative.
G.E.N.I.U.S. is being held as part of the Faculty of Educations LEAP (Laurier Enriched Academic Program) summer camp, which provides gifted students in Grades 1 to 9 the opportunity to participate in enrichment activities. Now in its fifth year, LEAP will welcome up to 350 students this summer during its two sessions July 8 to 12 and July 15 to 19.

VINCE VAUGHN (Billy McMahon / Writer / Producer) has, in the last decade, established himself as one of Hollywood's most versatile comedic performers showcasing his unique blend of quick wit and personable charm in a diverse array of projects from big-budget blockbusters to offbeat independent fare. Vaughn made his cinematic debut in the 1993 underdog film "Rudy," where he also became friends with fellow actor, Jon Favreau and forged a symbiotic creative partnership that led to his break-out role in Favreau's 1996 film-turned-cult-classic "Swingers." Over the next sixteen years, a dynamic collaboration ensued between these two comical virtuosos that would have them reunite for several projects beginning with the mob farce "Made," followed by "The Break-up" with Jennifer Aniston playing opposite of Vaughn, "Four Christmases" co-starring Reese Witherspoon, and "Couples Retreat."
Since emerging on the scene, Vaughn solidified himself as a bona fide talent earning him accolades and industry recognition with prominent roles in high-profile megahits that began with Steven Spielberg's "The Lost World: Jurassic Park." In 2003, Vaughn's popularity skyrocketed with the release of "Old School" starring alongside Will Ferrell and Luke Wilson. Following this pivotal performance, Vaughn proved to be a comedic tour de force with a succession of hit comedies including the seventies television show remake, "Starsky & Hutch," "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," both with Ben Stiller; reuniting with Will Ferrell in "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy;" "Be Cool," opposite John Travolta and Uma Thurman; "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; and "Fred Claus", alongside Paul Giamatti, Kathy Bates and Rachel Weisz.
In 2005, Vaughn's soaring comic trajectory culminated with the highest-grossing comedy of the year, "Wedding Crashers." Again, Vaughn teamed with Owen Wilson, this time, to form a womanizing duo deceptively enchanting the lovelorn with their hedonistic debauchery. The film, also, starred Rachel McAdams, Christopher Walken and Isla Fisher.
Throughout Vaughn's stellar career, he continues to impress with his versatility as a gifted performer equally adept at both comedy and drama as well as other genres appearing in "A Cool, Dry Place," "Return to Paradise," "Thumbsucker," Dwight Yoakam's directorial debut "South of Heaven, West of Hell," Sean Penn's critically acclaimed film adaptation of "Into the Wild," "Psycho" directed by Gus Van Sant co-starring Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen and William H. Macy, "The Cell" opposite Jennifer Lopez and "Domestic Disturbance" with John Travolta.
Vaughn's most recent projects include "The Dilemma" directed by Ron Howard, co-starring Kevin James, Channing Tatum and Queen Latifah; the Stephen Frears dramedy, "Lay the Favorite," with Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rebecca Hall; the sci-fi comedy, "The Watch," alongside Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill; the romantic comedy, "A Case of You," starring Peter Dinklage, Evan Rachel Wood and Sam Rockwell; as well as the soon to be released comedy, "The Delivery Man," with Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Vaughn formed Wild West Picture Show Productions producing the films "The Break-up," "Four Christmases," "Couples Retreat," "The Dilemma," and the documentary, "Wild West Comedy Show." In September 2012, TBS ordered a ten episode second season of the Wild West Picture Show-produced half-hour comedy, "Sullivan & Son," executive produced by Vaughn and starring Steve Byrne.
Vaughn's production acquired the rights to the Ridley Pearson novel, "The Risk Agent," to develop as a starring vehicle for Vaughn, who will produce with his partners Victoria Vaughn and Sandra J. Smith.
OWEN WILSON (Nick Campbell) is an über-talented, multi-hyphenate known for his impeccable comedic timing, masterful dialogue and understated characterizations, and an audience favorite since his breakout performance as Dignan in the Wes Anderson helmed comedy, "Bottle Rocket." With the success of this offbeat comedy, Wilson and his friend, Wes Anderson formed a prolific association collaborating on such critically acclaimed projects as "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums," both co-written by Wilson and the latter brought them Academy Award® and BAFTA nominations for Best Original Screenplay.
Over the course of Wilson's prodigious career, this creative duo would showcase their unique, visionary artistry in several lauded feature films including "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," receiving a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Cast; "The Darjeeling Limited," co-starring Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman; and the stop-motion animated film "Fantastic Mr. Fox," starring George Clooney and Meryl Streep.
With his calm, contemplative and charming on-screen persona, Wilson emerged as one of Hollywood's most sought after character actors with many memorable big screen performances including "The Cable Guy," directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jim Carrey; "The Minus Man," alongside Sheryl Crow and Dwight Yoakam; "Meet the Parents," co-starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller; "Shanghai Noon" and "Shanghai Knights," opposite Jackie Chan; "Behind Enemy Lines," with Gene Hackman; "Zoolander," alongside Ben Stiller; as well as the critical and box office juggernaut, "Wedding Crashers," with Vince Vaughn.
In the summer of 2011, Wilson delivered one of his best performances in the Woody Allen's Academy Award-winning comedy "Midnight in Paris." For his portrayal of Gil Pender, the Hollywood screenwriter who dreams of writing the world's next greatest novel, Wilson received praise from critics and audiences earning a Golden Globe® nomination for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy.
Wilson's extraordinary list of film credits also includes "Anaconda"; "Armageddon"; "Permanent Midnight"; "The Haunting"; "Breakfast of Champions"; "I Spy"; "Meet the Fockers"; "Around the World in 80 Days"; "Starsky & Hutch"; "The Big Bounce;" "The Wendell Baker Story"; "Night at the Museum"; "You, Me and Dupree"; "Cars"; "Drillbit Taylor"; "Marley & Me"; "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian"; "How Do You Know"; "Little Fockers"; "Marmaduke"; "Hall Pass"; "Cars 2" and "The Big Year."
His current slate of projects include "You are Here," opposite Zach Galifianakis; "Freezing People Is Easy," alongside Paul Rudd and Christopher Walken; "Squirrel to the Nuts," directed by Peter Bogdanovich, with Olivia Wilde; and "The Coup," co-starring Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Monaghan.
In 2014, Wilson will reunite for the seventh time, with longtime collaborator Wes Anderson in "The Grand Budapest Hotel," starring Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law and Bill Murray. This same year, Wilson will lend his voice talents to the Thanksgiving holiday inspired animated feature, "Turkeys," co-starring Woody Harrelson; and reteam with Ben Stiller in "Zoolander 2," the long awaited sequel to their smash hit of the same name.
Wilson was an associate producer on the Academy Award-winning film "As Good as It Gets."
DYLAN O'BRIEN (Stuart) made his acting debut in the role of Stiles Stilinski in the hit MTV series "Teen Wolf." With dreams of becoming a professional actor, he postponed college to take a shot at making his dream come true. After only four auditions, he was cast in "Teen Wolf."
On film, O'Brien's credits include the comedy "High Road" and the Jon Kasdan directed "The First Time."
In 2006, he became a YouTube sensation acting, directing and producing his own independent videos.
When not appearing on film or television, O'Brien can be found playing drums in the band Slow Kids at Play.
TIYA SIRCAR (Neha Patel) knew she was destined to be a performer. At the age of three, she actively pursued various art forms including dance (ballet, jazz, modern, classical, and East Indian folk dance), acting, and musical theater. After successful appearances in numerous school and community productions, Sircar took a courageous leap and moved to Los Angeles to fulfill her destiny.
Once she decided to follow her passion, Sircar has never looked back. She has amassed a catalogue of guest starring roles in numerous television programs including "Touch," "NCIS," "Privileged," "Numb3rs," "Greek," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Hannah Montana," and "House M.D." Her most recognizable television portrayals have been recurring parts on the CW's fan-favorite supernatural series, "The Vampire Diaries" and the Disney Channel's sitcom, "The Suite Life on Deck."
Sircar landed her breakthrough role in New Line Cinema's "17 Again" as Samantha, a high school senior with a crush on the lead character played by Zac Efron. Sircar has gone on to have supporting parts in several films including "Hotel for Dogs," "The Domino Effect," "The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone," and "Breaking the Girls."
In 2008, she played a Mac Genius as part of Apple's national ad campaign. The following year, she voiced an animated character for the Disney show "Phineas & Ferb." She is a native of Texas and the daughter of college professors.
TOBIT RAPHAEL (Yo-Yo Santos) is making his acting debut in THE INTERNSHIP. He is a graduate of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.
Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention.

This is a purty game!
Big, epic battle formations, horses, troops, and many large armys on a mission of conquest.
Sounds like a movie plot. And thats what this game is like, only you can control the outcome.
The single player missions are vast, streaching all over the known world, and this game is a great RTS to kill some time.
There are some flaws though, it runs slower on primitve machine, so if you want to experience this game to its fullist, keep that computer up to speed.
But I have to ask... Where are all the ships? Other people have asked the same question as well, but I have a therory...
There is no wood.
How do I support this theory? Simple, there is not a bit of naval combat, so all the troops must magically appear. *Poof!
Other than that, this is a really good RTS, the giant troop formations, the epic battles and all the diffrent units are lot of fun.
Enjoy this game, its worth the money!

A Little Disappointed
"...not gonna lie. The description says the material is "distressed leather"-- it's actually distressed leather FABRIC, which would have made me reconsider the price, had that been more clearly disclosed. I also wish this boot was about 2-3 inches taller, so it hit knee height or just below. As they are, they're about mid calf (on the taller end of the spectrum) and they are a good fit, even if you've got a wider calf, you should be more than fine. Shoe size runs true, neither too snug nor too loose. So far quite comfy and I'm sure once I get over being disappointed that I paid this much for fabric boots that are a little shorter than I wanted, I'll wear them a lot. Sadly, just a little put out (though it's not the boots' fault.)"

Dear Editor,
Would the person who is over the making of our state flag of Utah please make it out of better material and better sewing. I replace three Utah flags for each time I replace our National Emblem Old Glory.
Old Glory has a wider hem or seam on the end, six-eight rows of stitches about one inch apart running up and down across the full width of the flag. This controls the unraveling. One good wind storm and I have to replace the flag.
Either produce a better flag or I will stop flying it. I replaced four State of Utah flags during April and May this year. If anyone who reads my letter is having the same problem I'm having, would you write your letter to the editor and perhaps we can get our Utah State flag upgraded.

: You have been working with lead bends too long. The person asked about a cast iron flange, which implies a cast iron bend, and you cannot "ping it over and solder the folded edges. << correct job".
: : : I need to close off an old cast iron toilet flange without tearing up the floor. Can someone up?
: : 1- Either solder on a cap
: : 2- If it is PVC or CI or Galv use a no hub cap
: : 3- put some news paper in the pipe about 4" deep and fill with cement or plaster
: : 4- Ping the lead over solder the folded edges so your now water and gas tight << Correct Job
: : The one above number 4 is easy cheap FIX much like an AAV installation used by infamous BBC's looking to get over folks
HJ ever see a 4" galv Soil line using a CI flange either Caulked or SCREWED onto the existing piping DONT ASSUME its CI BUT if you had READ number TWO (2) I was covered
Also I have seen STUMBLE BUMS attach CAST IRON Floor flanges to the floor with lead piping bent over the flange.
AND HJ it is WATER tight as long as nothing backs up.

Anglers who time it right should be in for some great summer fishing at four southeastern Utah waters where the Division of Wildlife Resources has liberalized limits.
Effective immediately, the daily bag and possession limits have been doubled for all game fish in Cleveland Reservoir in Emery County; Miller Flat Reservoir in Emery and Sanpete counties; and Monticello Lake and Recapture Reservoir in San Juan County.
Anglers 14 years of age and older are reminded that they still need a fishing license to fish these waters.
The liberalized limits will remain in effect until Nov. 1.
On Nov. 1, the limits for all species at all these waters will revert back to the original limits set for 2002.
"Three of these reservoirs are being drained or drawn down because of drought conditions in southeastern Utah," said Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Monticello Lake, the fourth water, is being drained so repairs can be made to the dam. We've liberalized the limits to allow anglers to take fish that will be lost because of the dewatering."
Pettengill says fishing this summer should be good for anglers who fish the reservoirs at the right time.

Terry Pegula is one week into living what he says has been a dream of his for a long time. We are one week into experiencing for the first time what seems like a dream of an owner. Talking about winning the Stanley Cup, crying over meeting Gilbert Perrault, saying if he needs money he'll drill a well, all that works well for me. While it is easy to get swept up in all the excitement surrounding this change I am trying to remember that charting a new course for the Sabres will take some time.
The smart money to me was never on Terry Pegula showing up and dumping Darcy Regier into the volcano. The practical approach is to integrate yourself into the operation, observe how the man does his job, and patiently evaluate what needs to change, if anything does. From all indications, Pegula was present while the hockey department did it's thing in the hours leading up to the trade deadline. This should not serve as the only means of determining if you feel your hockey team is in good hands, but I would think it's a great opportunity to watch Regier perform under some pressure and without the break even mentality of the previous ownership group hanging over his head.
I am all for the fresh set of eyes approach here. But Regier at least deserves the chance to prove whether or not he can do his job better without having to match every dollar in with a dollar out and recouping every pick the goes out in a deal by trading something else away because it may cost a couple million to keep down the road. In a week, we have already seen the Sabres cut ties with the Craig Rivet, the Captain who couldn't get in the line-up, and made a trade for a player who is under contract to the tune of 4 million bucks next season.
Obviously, Regier and Ruff could use for Brad Boyes to show up here and score some goals, something the players acquired by trade to give the team a late season boost have failed to do going back to the Spring of 2007. That plays out in the weeks to come. All I'm doing today is pointing out that in the span of one week, the Sabres resolved a lingering situation with their Captain and made a trade for an expensive, underperforming player on the chance they can help him find his touch again.
It's a start, I'd say.

Cute shoe but not comfy AT ALL
"When I first bought these shoes they were extremely painful, I thought it would take some time for me to break them in. It's been four months and they still hurt just as bad. I can't even wear them :(The funny thing is that they are long enough, actually they are kinda big. They are very cute though.. So I guess it just wasn't meant to be."

"Beautiful shoe. I ordered a 7.5 bc thats what I always wear.. ALWAYS. And do not have an abnormally wide foot but these ran VERY SHORT & NARROW. I kept hoping they'd break in a little more but after a few tries I've given up.. Sad bc they are just what I was looking for.. Just wish I would have ordered up & now I can't return :("

DOCOMOMO WORKSHOP: Istanbul – Turkey, September 18-25, 2006

International DOCOMOMO Workshop
"How to Preserve a Housing Utopia: The Documentation and Sustainability of Modern Heritage, Case Study: Ataköy – Istanbul"
Istanbul – Turkey, September 18-25, 2006
DOCOMOMO_Turkey will be hosting an International DOCOMOMO Workshop in connection with the IXth International DOCOMOMO Conference, to be organized in Ataköy – Istanbul on September 18-26, 2006 prior to the main event.
Ataköy is selected for its urban and architectural features and because of the need for re-evaluating these features as part of the Modern Movement heritage. The initial steps of this project, Phases I and II are today iconic examples of urban planning and architecture of the late 1950s and 1960s. The sustainability of this area is of great importance at the moment and this should be the main criterion for conservation proposals.
The documents produced by the workshop participants, which will form an introduction for developing strategies for the conservation of the Modern Movement heritage in Turkey, will be presented and discussed during the conference in Ankara as well.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The annual celebration of Veterans was held on Veteran's Day in Ferron at San Rafael Junior High. Principal Garth Johnson was the host for the event. He credited Sam Singleton for beginning the Veteran's Day observance at the school in 1976. Johnson said it is an honor to have those who have served our country in attendance. The honor extends to veterans who didn't make it home from the wars and for those living who came home and have gone on with their lives. It is our duty to establish patriotism and love for our country. The United States is a rich nation and powerful among the nations of the world. The veterans have helped preserve those freedoms. This celebration remembers lifetimes of service and sacrifice.
Clifford Snow and Lon Delange presented the colors of the United States. History teacher Ky Horrocks read Pres. Barack Obama's Veteran's Day message to the audience. The Presidential Proclamation said, "On Veterans Day, we come together to pay tribute to the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. Americans across this land commemorate the patriots who have risked their lives to preserve the liberty of our Nation, the families who support them, and the heroes no longer with us. It is not our weapons or our technology that make us the most advanced military in the world; it is the unparalleled spirit, skill, and devotion of our troops. As we honor our veterans with ceremonies on this day, let our actions strengthen the bond between a Nation and her warriors.
"In an unbroken line of valor stretching across more than two centuries, our veterans have charged into harm's way, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice, to protect the freedoms that have blessed America. Whether Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard, they are our Nation's finest citizens, and they have shown the heights to which Americans can rise when asked and inspired to do so. Our courageous troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the globe have earned their place alongside previous generations of great Americans, serving selflessly, tour after tour, in conflicts spanning nearly a decade.
"Long after leaving the uniform behind, many veterans continue to serve our country as public servants and mentors, parents and community leaders. They have added proud chapters to the story of America, not only on the battlefield, but also in communities from coast to coast. They have built and shaped our Nation, and it is our solemn promise to support our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen as they return to their homes and families.
"America's sons and daughters have not watched over her shores or her citizens for public recognition, fanfare, or parades. They have preserved our way of life with unwavering patriotism and quiet courage, and ours is a debt of honor to care for them and their families. These obligations do not end after their time of service, and we must fulfill our sacred trust to care for our veterans after they retire their uniforms.
"As a grateful Nation, we are humbled by the sacrifices rendered by our service members and their families out of the deepest sense of service and love of country. On Veterans Day, let us remember our solemn obligations to our veterans, and recommit to upholding the enduring principles that our country lives for, and that our fellow citizens have fought and died for. With respect for and in recognition of the contributions our service men and women have made to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, the Congress has provided that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor our Nation's veterans.
"Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Nov. 11, 2010, as Veterans Day. I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through appropriate public ceremonies and private prayers. I call upon federal, state, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I call on all Americans, including civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, and communities to support this day with commemorative expressions and programs," concluded Horrocks' reading of the proclamation.
Principal Johnson asked all veterans present to introduce themselves and tell a little about their branch of the service.
Clifford Snow said he was in the army in the German area. He has two grandsons now in the military, one grandson works on Airforce I and salutes Pres. Obama as he comes off the helicopter. His other grandson is working to become a pilot.
Lon Delange served as a marine from 1955-1962. He was a peacetime marine. "I stand in awe of those who went to fight, they never took our company," he said.
Kent Petersen said he was in the army during the Korean conflict. He traveled to Korea as an airforce employee, but he didn't see any conflict.
George Hendrickson was in the navy during Vietnam. Lamond Smith was in the navy and served in the South Pacific.
Lou Sansevero was a staff sgt. in the Marines from 1966-1977. "Veteran's Day is always a special day for me. I remember the comrades who are forever young, those we left on the battlefield. Yesterday was the 235th birthday of the Marine Corps."
Sam Singleton went in the army in 1950, he was teaching school at the time and they held his job for him until his return two years later. Singleton mentioned the many friends he made in the army and still keeps in contact. Roy Rogers is a good friend he met in the service.
John Aragon and his wife Em recently moved to Ferron. He was in the US Airforce for 21 years as a fighter pilot on the F86 and F100. "I am glad to be here and thank you for honoring us," said Aragon.
Larry Saling was in the navy from 1958-61. He joined while still in high school and participated in active duty in the Pacific and in Australia and the Philippines. "I got to see a lot of the world. I was an electronic technician with the crypto program, a top secret electronics division. I enjoyed serving my country," said Saling.
The ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary were in attendance at the program as well. They introduced themselves. Jo Sansevero said she married Lou when he had been in the Marines for one year. A military wife has a full-time job. When they stay home while their husbands go off to fight, it is a real challenge. The American Legion Auxiliary supports the veterans and it is an honor to be part of the organization.
Jan Hess in conjunction with the auxiliary conducts an Operation Home Support program which mails packages overseas to soldiers on active duty. The soldiers are all family members from Emery County residents. Currently the home support is sending eight packages. "The servicemen are so delighted to get our boxes. We are always accepting donations for Operation Home Support. The holiday boxes for Christmas will be sent by the end of November. Operation Home Support has been sending packages since 2004. The funds for the items sent and postage are raised with fund raisers and donations. It is an expensive program to operate." Hess also mentioned her husband Red Hess is the adjunct for the Ferron American Legion post and he served in France and was unable to attend the program due to his work.
Jan Petersen said she is the wife of Kent Petersen and she had a hard time keeping up with Kent while he served in the army. He once left her in Massachusetts while expecting a baby and he ended up in another state.
Rosemary Delange is the vice-president of the ladies auxiliary. They have been working hard on the legion hall to get it cleaned up so the veterans have a nice place to meet. "It is an honor to serve those men who kept our country free," said Delange.
Alta Singleton said she met Sam while he was serving in Denver and when he was released from the army he brought her home to Ferron and she's been here ever since. Other ladies auxiliary members present included: Louisa Hendricksen, Mrs. Snow and JoAnn Behling.
Principal Johnson asked each of the San Rafael students if they would bring a dollar to school to donate to the Operation Home Support.
The student council students read various quotes concerning freedom and veterans. A sampling includes: "America's veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world," by John Doolittle.
"Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul," by Maya Angelou.
"My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place, police, firefighters and members of our armed forces," by Sidney Sheldon.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them," John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
A video presentation was shown with pictures of veterans and the different conflicts they have been involved in throughout the years. The video was prepared by Wayne Roberts.
Kelton Price and Brittnie Murdoch played Taps to conclude the program and the flag was retrieved by the members of the American Legion.
San Rafael students said, "Today we celebrate the freedoms, the courage and the selfless sacrifices you have made to America, to our communities and to each of us here today. We thank you for your service, love and dedication to the cause of liberty."
Those currently serving in war zones with connections to Emery County include: Richard Larson: Parents: Chuck and Vicki Larsen- Ferron; Jason Swegle: wife: Stacy Swegle and mother-in-law Joy Bloomer, of Ferron; Jesse Thompson: Mother, Deanna Thompson, Castle Dale; Ryan Stream Parents: Steve and Carol Ann Stream-- Huntington; Dustin Nielsen: Parents: Shane and Laurel Nielsen--Castle Dale.

Turkey is at the northeast end of the Mediterranean Sea in southeast Europe and southwest Asia. To the north is the Black Sea and to the west is the Aegean Sea. Its neighbors are Greece and Bulgaria to the west, Russia, Ukraine, and Romania to the north and northwest (through the Black Sea), Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran to the east, and Syria and Iraq to the south. The Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosporus divide the country. Turkey in Europe comprises an area about equal to the state of Massachusetts. Turkey in Asia is about the size of Texas. Its center is a treeless plateau rimmed by mountains.
Republican parliamentary democracy.
Anatolia (Turkey in Asia) was occupied in about 1900 B.C. by the Indo-European Hittites and, after the Hittite empire's collapse in 1200 B.C. , by Phrygians and Lydians. The Persian Empire occupied the area in the 6th century B.C. , giving way to the Roman Empire, then later the Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Turks first appeared in the early 13th century, subjugating Turkish and Mongol bands pressing against the eastern borders of Byzantium and making the Christian Balkan states their vassals. They gradually spread through the Near East and Balkans, capturing Constantinople in 1453 and storming the gates of Vienna two centuries later. At its height, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the Persian Gulf to western Algeria. Lasting for 600 years, the Ottoman Empire was not only one of the most powerful empires in the history of the Mediterranean region, but it generated a great cultural outpouring of Islamic art, architecture, and literature.
After the reign of Sultan Süleyman I the Magnificent (1494–1566), the Ottoman Empire began to decline politically, administratively, and economically. By the 18th century, Russia was seeking to establish itself as the protector of Christians in Turkey's Balkan territories. Russian ambitions were checked by Britain and France in the Crimean War (1854–1856), but the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) gave Bulgaria virtual independence and Romania and Serbia liberation from their nominal allegiance to the sultan. Turkish weakness stimulated a revolt of young liberals known as the Young Turks in 1909. They forced Sultan Abdul Hamid to grant a constitution and install a liberal government. However, reforms were no barrier to further defeats in a war with Italy (1911–1912) and the Balkan Wars (1912–1913). Turkey sided with Germany in World War I, and, as a result, lost territory at the conclusion of the war.

Tri-Cities PFD moving forward with new location for aquatic center
Community leaders in the Tri-Cities are moving forward with plans to put a proposed aquatic center in Pasco.
Tonight, members of the Tri-Cities Regional Public Facilities District agreed that 28 acres of land off Sandifur Parkway near Road 100 is a good location for the water park.
PFD members will now spend the next few weeks going over the campaign details for the project.
They hope to have a proposal ready for voters at the end of their meeting next month.

An evaluation of a woman for infertility is appropriate for women who have not become pregnant after having 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. Being evaluated earlier is appropriate after six months for women who are older than age 35 or who have one of the following in their medical history or physical examination:
Any evaluation for infertility should be done in a focused and costeffective way to find all relevant factors, and should include the male as well as female partners. The least invasive methods that can detect the most common causes of infertility should be done first. The speed and extent of evaluation should take into account the couple's preferences, the woman's age, the duration of infertility, and unique features of the medical history and physical examination.
The following tests may be recommended as part of your infertility evaluation:
Male Partner Semen Analysis: Although the semen analysis is obtained from the male partner, it is an essential part of the infertility evaluation. A semen analysis should provide information about the number, movement, and shape of the sperm. A semen analysis is necessary even if the male partner has fathered a child before.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): This is an X-ray procedure to see if the fallopian tubes are open and to if the shape of the uterine cavity is normal. A catheter is inserted into the opening of the cervix through the vagina. A liquid containing iodine (contrast) is injected through the catheter. The contrast fills the uterus and enters the tubes, outlining the length of the tubes, and spills out their ends if they are open.
Transvaginal Ultrasonography: An ultrasound probe placed in the vagina allows the clinician to check the uterus and ovaries for abnormalities such as fibroids and ovarian cysts.
Ovarian Reserve Testing: When attempting to test for a woman's ovarian reserve, the clinician is trying to predict whether she can produce an egg or eggs of good quality and how well her ovaries are responding to the hormonal signals from her brain. The most common test to evaluate ovarian reserve is a blood test for folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) drawn on cycle day 3. In addition to the FSH level, your physician may recommend other blood tests, such as estradiol, antimüllerian hormone (AMH), and/or inhibin-B, as well as a transvaginal ultrasound to do an antral follicle count (the number of follicles or egg sacs seen during the early part of a menstrual cycle).
Ovarian reserve testing is more important for women who have a higher risk of reduced ovarian reserve, such as women who:
Other Blood Tests: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin levels are useful to identify thyroid disorders and hyperprolactinemia, which may cause problems with fertility, menstrual irregularities, and repeated miscarriages. In women who are thought to have an increase in hirsutism (including hair on the face and/or down the middle of the chest or abdomen), blood tests for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), 17-α hydroxyprogesterone, and total testosterone should be considered. A blood progesterone level drawn in the second half of the menstrual cycle can help document whether ovulation has occurred.
Urinary Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Over-the-counter "ovulation predictor kits" detect the presence of LH in urine and can detect a rise in this hormone that occurs one to two days before ovulation. In contrast to blood progesterone levels, urinary LH tests can predict ovulation before it occurs. Urinary LH testing helps define the times of greatest fertility: the day of the LH surge and the following two days. However, these tests can be expensive and should only be used by women with menstrual cycles that are consistently 25-35 days in length.
Sonohysterography: This procedure uses transvaginal ultrasound after filling the uterus with saline (a salt solution). This improves detection of intrauterine problems such as endometrial polyps and fibroids compared with using transvaginal ultrasonography alone. If an abnormality is seen, a hysteroscopy is typically done. This test is often done in place of HSG.
Hysteroscopy: This is a surgical procedure in which a lighted telescope-like instrument (hysteroscope) is passed through the cervix to view the inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can help diagnose and treat abnormalities inside the uterine cavity such as polyps, fibroids, and adhesions (scar tissue).
Laparoscopy: This is a surgical procedure in which a lighted telescope-like instrument (laparoscope) is inserted through the wall of the abdomen into the pelvic cavity. Laparoscopy is useful to evaluate the pelvic cavity for endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, and other abnormalities. Laparoscopy is not a first line option in the evaluation of a female patient. Because of its higher costs and potential surgical risk, it may be recommended depending on the results of other testing and a woman's history, such as pelvic pain and previous surgeries.
For best results, the infertility evaluation should be individualized based on each woman's specific circumstances.

Virgin Blue Ramps Up Rocky Flights Following Huge Local Demand24/03/2004
Low Fare Leader Addresses The Needs Of Abandoned Business Market
Virgin Blue has today announced it will increase services between Rockhampton and Brisbane by offering a second daily direct flight from 3 May following resounding requests from the Rockhampton business community.
The low fare airline launched its 737 jet flights to Rockhampton in December 2002 and since then Virgin Blue has been heartened by the support of travellers in both directions. It is this confidence that has inspired the carrier to put more capacity into the Capricorn Coast at a time when other airlines are turning their back on this important regional market.
Local flyers have been lobbying Virgin Blue to introduce a second daily flight following the news that the existing early morning departure offered by Qantas will be scrapped in favour of a later departure time when its no frills offshoot, Jetstar, takes over the route in coming weeks.
In response, Virgin Blue has committed to providing a 6.30am departure out of Rockhampton, which will arrive in Brisbane at 7.30am. The evening flight will take off from Brisbane at 7.30pm allowing for a full business day in Brisbane and a convenient return flight back home.
The new service will also allow for hassle-free connections to Sydney and Melbourne, therefore enabling the business community of Rockhampton to make day return trips and avoid expensive overnight accommodation. In addition, the second frequency also means that convenient connections are available from Hobart and Newcastle for the first time, complimenting existing connections to Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide.
Virgin Blue's Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, "The people of Rocky asked, we listened and have re-jigged our schedule to accommodate the second daily flight to meet their specific needs."
He continued, "The people of this region have been emphatic in their support for Virgin Blue as they remember what the fares were like before we came into the market. Now that we have responded to the requests for an additional flight, we hope travellers will continue to back the airline that believes in supporting both the leisure and business needs of a regional destination".
"We don't believe that low fares mean compromising on quality, whether that is at the airport, on board or for guests who want convenient connections between Rockhampton and southern capitals. Now that we have responded to the business community's needs, all we ask is that the same community supports us so we can maintain and potentially grow services even further in the future".
Everyday low fares on the Rockhampton-Brisbane route start from $59* one way on the net.
The extra service will mean Virgin Blue will overnight an aircraft and crew in Rockhampton for the first time providing further stimulus to the local economy, with local engineering staff and over-nighting crews enjoying the hospitality of the region.
The revised schedule includes (* denotes new service):
* All fares are for flights booked on the net, $10 more by phone, subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.

Skip to comments.72,000 Ladybugs Released Inside Mall of America On Earth Day In Place Of Pesticides
Posted on 04/25/2013 7:33:32 PM PDT by Daffynition
What sounds like an April Fools Day prank was actually intentional -- the Mall of America celebrated Earth Day on Monday by voluntarily releasing 72,000 ladybugs into its indoor shopping facility.
The ladybugs were released in the Minneapolis mall in an effort to protect the large amounts of the mall's greenery, which are usually plagued by aphids.
Mall of America Senior Manager of Environmental Services Lydell Newby told Kare 11 that the bugs take the place of commonly used pesticides to control pests that would otherwise eat away at the mall's tropical plants.
(Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...
Meh, its just ladybugs.
I got no issues with it.
I love ladybugs.
Ours got "displaced" by those weird Asian ladybug imposters that bite.
Pretty nasty when they bite though.
Where's PETA? This is obvious insect abuse.
This seems to be a logical, intelligent, and cost saving solution to the problem. Some liberal will probably find a way to ruin it.
Native ladybugs don't bite. Its the illegal alien bugs that bite.
I just wonder what the unintended consequences will be... Like clogged air vents, etc.
There are always unintended consequences. Some are truly funny, some are destructive. Occasionally, they are both.
Don't piss them off.
Are they paid full union wages and bennies....
I get those nasty orange ones in my house occasionally. My cat tries to eat them but I won't let her. I throw them out.
Shouldn't these bugs be renamed to be more gender neutral?
I was out mushrooming in the woods one warm spring day when I came upon mounded heaps of of ladybugs, so I scooped them up into a 5 gallon bucket (and it was full) and took them home and sprinkled them over my roses, yard and garden.
It was 3 years before I saw aphids on the roses again. Those ladybugs really did a number on the local population of aphids.
They will regret this. Stupid.
Screw "Earth Day". Commie day more like it.
Get some lacewings in there, too!
My grandmother used to buy them to keep aphids out of her roses and raspberries.
Have you ever been infested by ladybugs?
My uncle's home is every late winter/spring. It's unbelievable. Plagues. Like the window scenes in Amityville Horror.
They may help aphids but indoors, they will start overwhelming certain things, and dying all over the place, to boot.
Ants farm aphids. They attack anything that threatens their livestock. I bought ladybugs only to see the ants kill them before they ever had a chance to kill aphids.
All good, until they end up clogging up the ventilation fans/filters. I'm sure all of those ladybugs will attract a lot of birds and other predatory varmints to further infest the mall.
(insert gratuitous Jurassic Park and WKRP turkey drop hubris reference quotes.)
"My uncles home is every late winter/spring. Its unbelievable. Plagues. Like the window scenes in Amityville Horror."
Sounds nasty!
Here in the northern Utah, each fall brings the pesky Box Elder Bug.
Hey, It works.
Mind you this infestation problem never occurred in western MD until about 20 years ago.
As for your boxelders, we have some, but the weirdest thing was years ago when we went looking for a new house. ONE house, only one, was INFESTED with them - all around outside of the front door. I have never seen that anywhere else, since, either.
Basically I like ladybugs, but when you go to my uncle's and our neighboring 2nd house, you'll get the willies. It's bizarre.
...yes,indeed! - good catch.
Do ladybugs carry salmonella?
I hear what your saying about ladybugs. A few are fine...even cute, but when there are infestations, that's altogether different.
that will smwll nice when they begin dying and decomposing-
[[Ours got displaced by those weird Asian ladybug imposters that bite.]]
I heard that the left want to grant them immunity
The swarm became self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time.
Shouldnt these bugs be renamed to be more gender neutral?-lol- Personbugs?
it works. Green lacewings, trichogramma wasps, praying mantises, beneficial nematodes. dirtdoctor.com is our local guy.
A Møøse once bit my sister ...
Well it would have, if I had a sister.
The Food Court was a mess and many of them were stepped on, bloodying up the floors
I was kidding
I would have gotten some food put a lady bug in it and demanded that they give me free food and keep repeating until the food kiosk owners started thumping whomever thought this was a good idea...
Fine by me. I like lady bugs and a reduction on the use of pesticides .
[they're just doing the work that American ladybugs won't]
Yeah but the little punks stink and bite.
I like my good old fashioned bugs.
The box elder bugs only come where there are box elder TREES and if you don't control them, the south side of your house will be red with them in spring. Horrid ugly prehistoric looking bugs. Had lots in MT.
Never buy a house with a box elder tree in the yard, or in the neighbors' yards.
There are quite a few old wives tales or superstitions centered around the cute little ladybug. Here is a rundown on the different believes throughout history and even today on the ladybug.
The Norse believed that the ladybug came to earth by lightning and was connected to the goddess of love and beauty.
Weather and Harvest:
In northern Germany, counting the spots on the backs of ladybugs would tell if they could sell their harvest. If the ladybug had less than seven spots that meant they would have a large harvest.
In England, seeing a ladybug meant they would have a good harvest.
The French believe that a ladybug in their vineyard is a sign of good weather.
Austrians would ask ladybugs for good weather.
Love, Marriage and Children:
In Sweden if a ladybug walks on a girls hand it signifies that it is measuring her hand for wedding gloves, which means she will be married soon.
In Central Europe if is on a girls hand and it crawls under her hand she will marry within the year.
If a ladybug lands on you and then flies away watch it carefully, the way it flies is the direction of your true love.
When a ladybug lands on a woman in Burgundy, she should count the dots to see how many children she will have.
Good Luck:
The country dwellers of England believe the spots on a ladybug stand for the months of happiness that are to come.
In Canada, is finding ladybugs in your garage, during the winter is a sign of good luck. If you pick up the ladybug and make a wish the way it flies is the direction in which the luck will come.
Bad Luck:
Killing a ladybug is believed to bring bad luck.
New items:
In Kentucky, the old wives tale is that if a ladybug lands on you will be getting a new shirt, dress, jeans or whatever it lands on.
The same goes for in your home, if a ladybug flies into your home and lands on your television be prepared for a brand new television.
There are lady bugs and then there are asian imposters which were imported by our government which did not know the difference. Th asian ones were released everywhere as a good aphid killing alternative to pesticides.
The problem is, these bugs are not climatized to USA so what they do is come inside and hibernate in your attic or other warm spots in your house, especially on the South facing side. Once they move in they will always remember your house and I have been in houses where whole inside walls are covered with them. They fly around and they stink, leaving your home with a distinctive odor. They come back every year in fall, come out in the spring to torment your household while hatching youn ones, and then do their job outside in the summer.
I hope the mall and all their customers will not be plagued by the recurrence of this problem for the next umpteen years.
Unintended consequences for sure.

Stork Watch: Is Gisele Bundchen Expecting Tot No. 2?
Does Gisele Bundchen have another genetically superior bun baking in her oven? Her reps aren't commenting, but the rumor mill in her native Brazil is cranking with whispers that she may be expecting baby No. 2.
Tom Brady's leggier half was in Sao Paulo last week promoting her HOPE lingerie collection, and although she didn't give off a hint of any belly swelling while posing in a bra-showcasing lace shirt (below), sources close to the supermodel have supposedly been spilling the news, according to House of Models columnist Fabio Lage.
Brazilian paper Agora also claims "those responsible for dressing the model at recent events noticed changes in Gisele's body," which, granted, could mean she just had an extra serving of salad at lunch.
Bundchen, 31, is already mom to Benjamin, who made his debut in December 2009 via home delivery in a bathtub, and stepmom to Brady's 4-year-old son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
The square-jawed twosome enjoyed a second honeymoon of sorts with a trip to Costa Rica in late February, not long after the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl and Gisele was overheard griping of the quarterback's teammates, "My husband can not [bleeping] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
The model mogul has made no secret of her desire to expand her brood, and the family recently completed work on a $20 million, 22,000-square-foot estate in Brentwood, Calif.

I kinda like reading Aiki. Well, nevermind. And yes, B-Reaction is Hawt!
That apart, I'm still waiting for TLR-03 :<
how come guys in animes have a severe nose bleed when they see a pretty lady? does it happen in real life?
while im here i might as well look at your ecchi pics...
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
It's not true, I bleed a few times every week (have a weak nose wall, or wtf to call it) and I don't bleed if I get excited. And I even start bleeding by sitting still... >_>
Of course it's a funny way to put it, but guy asked and I answered his question.
