Just prior to the regular council meeting of the Cleveland Town Council, a local building authority meeting was held. During this meeting, Mayor Chris Parkins announced several requests for use of the remaining funds from the construction of the public safety building in the city.
"The fire department has requested accessory equipment along with pressure washer equipment totaling $1,366," said Mayor Parkins. "Also to be added is exercise equipment in the form of a treadmill, and a back-up generator and switch." Parkins said the electrical contractors met to discuss the generator and the suggestion was made by them to purchase a generator and install a manual switch for its operation.
Parkins noted some equipment, final supplies, and the LED sign for the building has already been purchased and the remaining amount is $16,123.85. The amount of the new requests is $15,700. This will leave a small amount in the fund for any additional needs. The LBA approved the purchase of the generator, treadmill, and other equipment.
The LBA was formed to oversee the funds for the maintenance of the public safety building. The council decided the LBA would pay the utilities and bond payment for the new building. The LBA was closed and the regular town council meeting was opened.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, Kisty Ward was present and approached the council concerning her use of the community hall. She suggested several maintenance issues with the building. The council advised the issue would be put on the January 2011 meeting for action.
Brian Rasmussen also requested the council consider renting him a room in the community hall for his art studio. Rasmussen requested the old town office as it could be secured. This item will also be put on the next meeting's agenda.
A business license was approved for Blake Gardner to open a boat repair shop. He stated the business would be at his home and he has the space to do the work.
Mayor Parkins said he had surveyed the town and noted the street lights which are not working. He has met with Rocky Mountain Power and they have agreed to do the repair work. The work will begin in two-four weeks.
The town is awaiting a copy of Castle Dale's animal ordinance. This ordinance will be a model to compile a new ordinance for Cleveland. Mayor Parkins said the county commission has requested all cities and towns move toward a uniform ordinance for the county.
The town audit was discussed and Jamie Jensen said the auditors had no negative comments. "The town is sitting pretty well," she said.
Colleen Hansen has been volunteering some work with the Utah Department of Transportation for the town. Mayor Parkins suggested a letter of appreciation along with a gift be sent to Hansen. The council approved. "She has done a phenomenal job working with UDOT," said Parkins.
Councilman Greg Oliver announced he will be recruiting several new members for the fire department. He also said the new fire truck will be ready soon, and he will be traveling to Nebraska to accept the truck and drive it back to Cleveland.
Mayor Parkins announced that in addition to the NIMS training, he would like to put together a spreadsheet listing all the equipment and specially trained Cleveland residents which could be utilized during a critical event. A letter will be sent to residents informing them of this action, and the residents will be requested to fill it out and return it to the town office.
Councilperson Verla Jensen suggested to compile a list of those Cleveland residents who would be in need of care and special considerations during such a critical event. The council agreed. The next town council meeting will be Feb. 10 at 7 p.m.

super cute but not comfy
"i was looking for pointy flats that would go well with skinny jeans and this was it. they're super cute and look expensive and go well with almost any color. however, they're not at all comfortable. i got blisters the first time i wore them and i didn't even have them on too long. I've worn them a few times now and the material has stretched, the shoes now feel like half an inch bigger and keep slipping off my feet. I always order a size 8, I've never had shoes that stretched this much. such a shame cos they're really cute."

"This shoe was fabulous on my foot! Slightly darker than the picture, but the spike were fun and flirty! I'm sending them back because they are slightly too large and slip off when walking. So you might try a half size smaller."

The Shoe that Protects Itself!
"I was not sure about buying a shoe with spikes to wear to work and then it dawned on me that not only will this great RED color pop with my outfit but also protect it's back from the dirt and grime of my car floorboard ... you know, from having that right shoe against the floorboard because your foot is on the gas pedal? Yep! The suede will always look fresh and bright!"

Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.
Since 1992, the tract has been known as Lowden-Miller State Forest. But prior to that Gov. Lowden and his wife, Florence Pullam Lowden, called it Sinnissippi Forest. Sinnissippi is from American Indian terms meaning "rocky river" or "troubled waters." It was part of a large and diverse farming operation that incorporated not only native hardwoods but pasture and sandy farmland. Because the soil was of limited use for crops. Lowden experimentally planted white pines and other tree species to see what would grow productively. The earliest plantings of white pines occurred before 1910 and are believed to be the oldest in the state.
The governor's love of the land transcended his desire to continue in political office. In his 1916 campaign, Lowden insisted that he wanted to serve only one term as governor as her preferred to return to his farm and forest. In his biography, Squire of the Sinnissippi, Gov. Lowden wrote: "I like to think of this beautiful and fertile spot as the place where my children and my children's children and their children after them will gather long after I have become dust, and in the shade of the old trees my own hand had planted."
The governor remained an avid student of forestry throughout his life. In 1938, he invited the new forestry department at the the University of Illinois to conduct research on the developing forest. Today, with nearly 80 percent of all data on Illinois hardwood forest growth having been developed at Sinnissippi, the forest still serves as a field laboratory for the university.
The family's Sinnissippi Forest Christmas Tree wholesale and retail business began providing high-quality firs and pines for the holiday in 1948, but the family closed their Christmas tree sales operation in 2010. In 1955, Sinnissippi Forest was designated the first Illinois Tree Farm.
In June 1992, the state of Illinois purchased a 1,186 acre parcel of the forest from a grandson of Gov. and Mrs. Lowden, Warren P. Miller and his wife, Nancy. Warren's brother, Phillip Lowden Miller and his wife, Bonnie, sold an additional 1,039 acres to the state in 1993. In offering their land for sale to the state rather than seeing it subdivided or rezoned for development, the family said they were achieving their goal of keeping the area an actively managed forest and preserving its beauty for future generations.
Named for the family, Lowden-Miller State Forest now totals 2,291 acres. It is located across the Rock River from another DNR property, Castle Rock Sate Park, which oversees its daily operations.
Forestry Practices
The Department of Natural Resources' Forestry Division has ongoing forestry studies and projects such as controlling some exotic tree species and planting an oak seed orchard. Other forestry projects include thinning pines and working to control tree diseases. The forest's purpose is to provide an outstanding outdoor facility for the public where forestry education can continue.
Six parking areas are available to the public. Information on the site is available at each lot.
The site offers deer, squirrel and turkey hunting. Lowden-Miller Hunter Fact Sheet | Lowden-Miller Firearm Deer Hunter Fact Sheet
Lowden-Miller State Forest has approximately 22 miles of maintained trails available for hiking and cross-country skiing. Trails are open for use year-round except for a few days during the firearm hunting season. Check for closing dates at Castle Rock State Park.
Nature Trail
A self-guided nature trail, Loggers Trails, covers a 1.5 mile route and is accessible at parking lot 1.
Equestrian Trail
An equestrian parking area and designated horse trails are available. For information on the equestrian program and trail usage, contact Castle Rock State Park.
While camping facilities are not available at Lowden-Miller State Forest, other nearby state sites offer them, including Castle Rock State Park or Lowden Memorial State Park, both near Oregon, or White Pines Forest State Park, near Mount Morris.

Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend has made three changes to his side as they prepare to face Castres in the Heineken Cup on Friday.
Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend has made three changes to his side as they prepare to face Castres in the Heineken Cup on Friday.
Tommy Seymour – the Warriors' joint top scorer – returns on the wing, while Scott Wight takes back the number 10 berth with Henry Pyrgos as his half-back partner.
Stuart Hogg again forms Glasgow's centre partnership with Peter Horne.
Josh Strauss comes back into the back-row alongside Rob Harley and John Barclay at blindside and openside flanker respectively. The return of the South African sees Ryan Wilson move to the bench.
Mike Cusack, who this week extended his stay at Glasgow Warriors until at least May 2016, once again takes up the tighthead role, continuing his run of appearances this season.
Sean Maitland, who has joined the Warriors from the Crusaders, is in line to make his Warriors debut off the bench.
"We're keeping faith with the core group of players who were beaten by Munster as we know that that level of performance was not a true reflection of that side," said Townsend.
"I expect see a reaction and a determination from those players to prove that they deserve their place.
"We are coming off the back of what was a disappointing performance against Munster last week, particularly as we believed we were capable of leaving Thomond Park with a win.
"We pride ourselves on being tough to beat and we didn't do that in Ireland. There has been a renewed determination this week as that was a difficult defeat to take."
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Stuart Hogg, 12 Peter Horne, 11 DTH van der Merwe, 10 Scott Wight, 9 Henry Pyrgos, 8 Josh Strauss, 7 John Barclay, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Mike Cusack, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Pat Macarthur, 17 Moray Low, 18 Gordon Reid, 19 Tom Ryder, 20 Ryan Wilson, 21 Niko Matawalu, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Sean Maitland.
Castres: 15 Romain Martial, 14 Marcel Garvey, 13 Seremaia Bai, 12 Rémi Lamerat, 11 Maxwell Evans, 10 Pierre Bernard, 9 Rory Kockott, 8 Antonie Claassen, 7 Jannie Bornman, 6 Ibrahim Diarra, 5 Christophe Samson, 4 Matthias Rolland, 3 Karena Wihongi, 2 Mathieu Bonello, 1 Yannick Forestier.
Replacements: 16 Marc-Antoine Rallier, 17 Mihaïta Lazar, 18 Anton Peikrishvili, 19 Pedrie Wannenburg, 20 Yannick Caballero, 21 Thomas Sanchou, 22 Paul Bonnefond, 23 Daniel Kirkpatrick.

Happy Feet
"I bought these shoes for my friend. He only had one pair of summer sandals which needed to be replaced. He was delighted with his new shoes because with the leather they are rather attractive and versatile, but still maintain the comfort and function of Crocs. His wide feet felt the love in these shoes. All in all a very satisfied purchase!"

Great for down the drive or out and about
"I find crocs are great to slip on for quick trips down the drive, or even for a short shopping excursion. While I wouldn't wear them to the office, they're perfect for general casual wear, and cool and comfy too. Leave the strap forward for easy on and off, or put it behind the heel for a more secure walk. I like these because they don't immediately scream plastic shoe."

Husband loves these!
"My husband has slightly wide feet. He had trouble finding a summer shoe he liked and that fit comfortably. He bought a pair of these in the store. After about a week he asked me to buy another pair or two to have on hand for when these eventually wear out. He loves them, they are comfortable for moderate walking (half mile at a time or so), they work with jeans or shorts, and the brown color with the suede type material looks nice too. I would completely recommend these to anyone!"

The Resistance games are first-person shooters which pit you against an alien invasion. It started as a virus but has now all but taken over the world...
With only 10% of the human race surviving, and the United States seemingly lost to the Chimeran invasion, mankind is no longer just resisting; it's desperately trying to survive. Set four years on from the last game, Joseph Capelli is no longer a loner but now has a family to protect. Unfortunately, hiding is no longer an option, and once again he must take the fight to the Chimerans.
What struck us first about this latest release in the series is that it is a lot darker than previous games. It is now truly a post apocalyptic world of 1957. There is more of a sense of desperation in the story as Joe must weigh the preservation of his family against the opportunity presented by Dr Malikov to strike a blow for mankind. Even the combat feels overwhelming and frenetic.
This game sees the welcome return of the health ring from the first game in the series, but this is paired with a realistic blood effect when you are hit in combat. Also returning is the pistol with the controllable explosive rounds. Shoot a few into a Chim, and then push the trigger to see him (assuming they are male) explode in a shower of alien meat together with any of his brood mates who were standing too close. New additions are a homemade fragmentation grenade and a powerful three shot burst snipers rifle.
The more you use a weapon the more power ups you unlock for the gun.
Combat is delivered in set piece combat zones, that thankfully are linked by travel sections and pauses where you pick up ammunition and health before proceeding to the next battle. The combat itself is a mad mash-up of tracers, aliens popping out of cover like ducks in a shooting gallery, and death from above as they drop down on you from all angles. All of this is tied together with a strong story that lays out a world bearing witness to the sunset of mankind.
The game settings and general atmospheric effect are very well done. The initial town really felt like it was deserted, brooding and full of impending menace. There was a lot of rich detail; however if there was a criticism to be made, the game feels like it has brown/yellow wash through the graphics and at times this makes identifying the enemy difficult.
Combat is often played out over multiple levels and you need to be constantly alert to what is going on around and above you to avoid being flanked. The boss fights we played through were intense and had us ducking and weaving to gain every advantage we could.
There is a lot of dialogue in the game with the shouts of combat, while the urgency relayed to you by your companions drives home the desperation of the story. The weapon sounds are satisfying as are the alien death effects. Get some for mankind!
Our preview copy had limited levels, and has definitely whet our appetite to see more. On release the full title also promises a strong multiplayer experience with 16 player matches and a skill progression system. The campaign game is playable in co-op mode both online and split screen. The game will also support Playstation Move.
We really enjoyed Resistance 2, and what we have seen so far of Resistance 3 shows a lot of potential to deliver an even better experience. We can't wait to cleanse the earth and put mankind once more at the top of the food chain... get off my laaand!
* Resistance 3 is available for PlayStation 3 from September 6.

20 Games Like Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril()
Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

Mario and Luigi embark on a quest to save Princess Toadstool and the rulers of seven different kingdoms from the antagonist Bowser and his children, the Koopalings. The player, as Mario or Luigi, is able to defeat enemies by stomping them or using items that bestow magical powers. Mario and Luigi are given a wider range of abilities than in previous Super Mario games, including flying or sliding down slopes. In addition, Super Mario Bros. 3 introduces numerous elements, such as new enemy characters and the use of a world map to transition between levels, that have reappeared in or have influenced subsequent Mario games.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island or simply Yoshi's Island, known in Japan as Super Mario: Yoshi Island (Japanese: スーパーマリオ ヨッシーアイランド Hepburn: Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando?), is a 1995 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Acting as a prequel to 1990's Super Mario World, the game casts players as Yoshi as he escorts Baby Mario through 48 levels in order to reunite him with his brother Luigi, who had been kidnapped by Baby Bowser's minions. As a Super Mario series platformer, Yoshi runs and jumps to reach the end of the level while solving puzzles and collecting items. In a style new to the series, the game has a hand-drawn aesthetic and is the first to have Yoshi as its main character. The game introduces his signature abilities to flutter jump, produce eggs from swallowed enemies, and transform into vehicles.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a third-person puzzle-platformer and action-adventure computer and video game published by Ubisoft. It was released on November 21, 2003 and is a reboot of the landmark video game series Prince of Persia, created by Jordan Mechner in 1989.
The Sands of Time, developed internally at Ubisoft Montreal, successfully captures the mechanics of the original platformer and extends it to the 3D generation. An earlier attempt by The Learning Company to transfer the game to 3D (Prince of Persia 3D) was released in 1999, but despite its initial good reception failed to sell enough and the company responsible for the original trilogy was already closing doors. The game was praised for its visual design, finely tuned game mechanics and intriguing storyline, winning the game several awards.
The game was developed for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and later a 2D-version for the Game Boy Advance and mobile phones. The success of The Sands of Time led to three followups, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004), Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (2005), and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (2010). A remastered, high-definition, version of The Sands of Time was released on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 on November 16, 2010.

Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64 is a 3D action-adventure platformer game released for the Nintendo 64 in 1996. This game was one of two (three in Japan) launch titles for the Nintendo 64. To this day, it has sold nearly over 11 million copies, and is marked as the best selling Nintendo 64 game of all time.

Rise & Shine
Rise is a small kid of Gamearth, the world where the classic videogame characters live. He finds himself lost in the middle of a war against the Space Grunts, the bald muscular soldiers with big guns that just invaded his world. Only with the help of the legendary gun, Shine, he'll be able to stay alive and just maybe, incredibly, save his planet from the invaders.
The game mixes pure shooting arcade with the use of different bullets to solve all the situations Rise will find on his path. Think of a more arcadey Another World, also with a very tight relationship between gameplay and story.

Gareth Bale delivered another brilliant exhibition of dead-ball striking to earn Tottenham Hotspur a 2-1 Europa League victory over Lyons last night.
Bale lashed home the second of his free kicks with just seconds left, having struck a looping shot from 35 yards in the first half that will send his valuation soaring even higher when Europe's top clubs come calling this summer.
With Chelsea defeating Sparta Prague 1-0 through Oscar's late goal and Newcastle United held to a goalless draw by Metalist Kharkiv, Liverpool were England's only losers in the round-of-32 first legs on the night.

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

San Francisco 49ers' New Stadium in Santa Clara: News, Update and Predictions
While the Oakland A's and Golden State Warriors' potential moves out of Oakland are mere speculation and far from final, the San Francisco 49ers' move to Santa Clara is as serious as it gets. It only received an added boost on Wednesday.

Golden State Warriors' New Arena in San Francisco: News, Update and Predictions
If there is one thing we should know about relatively new Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob, it is that he means business.
Since taking over the team from the cold, dead clutch of former owner Chris Cohan in 2010, he has fired Don Nelson, replaced him with Keith Smart, replaced him with Mark Jackson, acquired David Lee, added a couple good draft picks and rid this franchise of the bad mojo it had carried for decades.

Oakland A's New Stadium in San Jose: News, Update and Predictions
What a roller coaster this new Oakland A's ballpark saga has become.
The latest news from the baseball world is that MLB commissioner Bud Selig will not be granting the A's permission to build in San Jose. However, that report has been reported false by Selig, who said that no decision has been made.
For the A's to build a stadium in San Jose, Selig would have to overturn the San Francisco Giants' territorial rights to the South Bay.

San Jose Sharks: Dan Boyle Becoming Weak Link on Much-Hyped Defense

On the surface, the San Francisco Giants' trade of Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez for Angel Pagan seemed like a move that was pressured primarily because of the 2011 Winter Meetings and the understanding that the Giants would be involved in acquiring a bat.

The Good and the Bad of the San Francisco 49ers' Loss to the Baltimore Ravens
It is not often we can find good things about a loss at the hands of a playoff-bound AFC foe on one of the greatest stages the NFL has to offer. But the San Francisco 49ers managed to escape Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day with at least a little of their dignity and a secure spot as one of the remaining elite in the NFL.

San Jose Sharks' Penalty Kill Growing As A Unit
It is funny how the NHL works. From week to week, it seems that you can never tell which part of the team will either break down or become clutch in the right moments.
For the Sharks, a penalty kill that was the weakest part of their game just two weeks ago seems to be a key force on the ice in the last week.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens Preview & Prediction
Throw out the first 10 games. Throw out the tests that were the Eagles, Lions and Giants. Even throw out the 9-1 record because the San Francisco 49ers were never going to get the full respect until their Week 12 match-up with the Baltimore Ravens. It will be the team's biggest test and measuring bar on Thanksgiving day on one of the biggest regular season stages of the entire year.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals Preview & Prediction
Have the 49ers done enough to sway you into thinking they are Super Bowl contenders?
You better believe it.
It is hard to argue with a relentless defense, physical running back and a quarterback that can manage a game with the best in the NFL.
And so the Arizona Cardinals dawdle into Candlestick Park with an acquired quarterback that does not work and a team hoping for next season. That will not stop them from playing a gritty game against one of the NFL's elite.

Emery County is a great location for the current worldwide outdoor recreation boom, Geocaching. This is a treasure hunting game that all ages can enjoy. Geocaching can be done at any time during the year, providing access is available.
To participate, a person must have a GPS (a handheld global positioning system). This device reads information from satellites and determines the location in relation to the longitude and latitude numbers on the Earth, and transmits those coordinates to the GPS readout. These coordinates are used to navigate around the surface of the Earth and locate specific points.
Geocaching enthusiasts hide caches, usually on public lands and usually in ammo boxes or PVC tubes, and also range from Tupperware bowls to ice cream buckets. Inside the cache is a log book for those who locate the cache to sign and date, along with little treasures. These treasures include key chains, toy cars, jewelry, stickers, pins, or virtually any small trinket that is not harmful or dangerous. A cache seeker carries little items with them, and when a cache is located, the finder has the option to leave an item and take an item, which is then noted in the log book when it is signed.
Some caches around Utah are virtual caches, such as a historic building or well known landmark. Geocaching is a great way to get to know Utah, and then expand to see the rest of the country as this hobby is practiced around the country as well as the world.
On the worldwide web there are sites dedicated to geocaching. They require a person to register a user name and password, but it is a free service. Once logged in, a user can request a search of all the registered caches within a certain mile radius of his home coordinates. Within a 50 mile radius of Castle Dale, the geocaching.com website lists nearly 460 caches waiting to be discovered.
The first site visited in making this story was the Red Ledges cache, a traditional cache, by DeViDe. It's coordinates are N 39 degrees 02.248, W 110 degrees 56.763. The second was near Castle Dale called the Oreo Cookie cache by mtwilli. It is a traditional cache with the coordinates of N 39 degrees 12.230, W 111 degrees 00.620.
This activity provides outdoor experiences and an avenue to meet other enthusiasts and compare treasures. Geocaching is not a way to become rich with treasure, but rich with the experiences that the outdoors in Emery County and Utah, can provide. Watch for upcoming geocaching events at the Emery County Fair and in Goblin Valley State Park.

i kind of like every genre,but some more some less
i vote for hip-hop rap since it is the one i listen to most of my time
Metal and it's various kinds
Gothic stuff (don't exactly know how to name it, sorry)

Sig & Ava = Jaiden
This^Anything and everything is my taste. As long as I like the beat I like the song.
God, I hate it when people say "Everything is my taste of music" Most of the people I meet who say that are spewing bullshit. I give them a classy toon and they're like "Ew, they're so old" I'm a very pissed off kitten this morning
Edit: Oh right, I mostly listen to rock and classical music, and sometimes the odd jazz/techno song my friend sends me
I wasn't refferring to you >_> Sorry if I gave you that impression
And I wish the poll had multi-choices
^ yeah same here, i wanted to vote for metal, rock and rap, but i couldnt so i only voted for Metal.
those ppl are either posers or just end up liking crappy music
Okay, being hammered here, I don't understand that last sentence...
Grrr... too hard to choose between what I like the most. I like various types of music. But I'll have to go with pop cuz I listen to it the most.

And another point, the part of Tobi's face beneath the mask that he showed to Sasuke. This was of a much older man than Obito would have been.
WHY is the spoiler saying Tobi's LEFT arm took damage from the Rasengan?
A simple typo?

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
But then again. We've seen his right side of the face, but we never saw the left one. why? Because it's almost certainly a lot different than the right side. The left side will surely reveal us his true identity. I can't just say: he can't be obito, because after all the insane experiments with bodies, souls, eyes and limbs we saw, we can't exclude any eventuality. We simply don't know what happened to Obito's body and soul, nor the plans madara could have made for him.
I say: let's just wait and see
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
AND. In the next chapter tobi will say something about kakashi's unfulfilled promises and stuff. If tobi were izuna, how could he possibly know about kakashi's promises to an old friend? Only a person who knows kakashi well can know those things. And if he were izuna and he could know these informations about kakashi, why would he bother collecting them? what does he care about kakashi, his promises and habits?
In my opinion, Tobi knows kakashi pretty well.
Giving Itachi another pop and him going on and on about the Uchiha massacre was something that was covered in detail some 100 chapters ago. Naruto entering and ending every battle with the same friendship/hokage speeches since his fight with Zabuza. And now we have Tobi giving us a shred of dialogue which only confirms what we've known even before he showed his Sharingan. Since 2008 or 2009 people have been saying that Tobi is Obito. And in the chapter before the one we just read the spoilers for Tobi mentioned how Kakashi never changed. It's obvious to anyone that Tobi knew Kakashi and was, more than likely Obito. This chapter is another half-hearted attempt by Kishimoto to drag out an already lackluster plot and is a continuous disservice to longtime fans.
If we're reading this manga on a weekly basis there shouldn't be a need to consistently, pathologically repeat dialogue and scenarios. (Remember when we read the legend of the Kinkaku brothers and learned they had the Kyuubi's chakra. Then less than 50 chapters later the Kyuubi repeated that same legend word for word. Kishimoto obviously isn't trying at this point imo.) In chapter 600 the big reveal is going to be Tobi being unmasked and we'll see it's Obito as some fans have known for years. Which goes to show very little in the way paid to creativity towards the plot or respect to the fans.
lol there are so many ppl it can be, even konohamaru's dad or the elder son.
And really, the wrinkles don't make him look THAT much older.
I s2g Imageshack is the worst file hosting site ever made. This is what I'm trying to link: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...osuq.png/sr=1#
The power itself isn't a problem and it is even confirmed that it is Obito's Sharingan in the chapter to come.
@Pheonix, actually I think that Kishi did a great job with Tobi, because each time we begin to be sure about Tobi's identity, there is a plot-twist which make us go back to the beginning with only one name crossed out from the list on who he can be ;P. His orange swirling mask is in truth a representation of what Kishi is doing to fans with his identity, simply many swirls that lead to a black hole .
Hmmmmmm, you know what, I realized something. Tobi ca...oh wait I forgot about the miracle Hashirama cells... oh well, what I wanted to say is that if Tobi's justsu is an MS and he is Obito, then he would go blind ages ago from using the jutsu so often, but as you can see above, I initially forgot about Hashirama's cells that even make Shisui's ability active way, way faster, from 10 year to 10 hour delay...

hello, i have a small bathroom that i would like to relocate to a larger room and was wondering if there is anything (structural, plumbing) that would definitely prevent it from being done. both are on the second floor, room centers are approx 15 feet apart, the larger room (new bathroom) is above a 1st floor living room, two walls are shared by both the living room and new bathroom (thinking plumbing could run through these walls into the basement where the existing plumbing leads). some family members have told me the plumbing would be impossible, which i took to mean "expensive", and i am concerned about the weight - primarily the bath tub. i am going to get a professional in to look at things, but came across this site so i just thought i'ld ask. thanks in advance for any advice.

Gov. Gregoire speaks in Kennewick about the legacy of Hanford
Governor Gregoire visits the Tri-Cities today to talk about the legacy of Hanford and how work there must continue after she leaves office.
She spoke to community leaders at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick this afternoon, during what could be her last trip to the Tri-Cities as Governor.
The Governor says fighting for Hanford and being involved in the work there has been one of the highlights of her career.
She says the work at Hanford is making a big impact in the community.
Governor Gregoire says aside from creating jobs in the area, the cleanup work is moving forward.
So far, 10 million tons of soil and debris have been removed from near the Columbia River, and nine reactors have been cacooned.
The Governor says every American should know the story of Hanford, especially as future generations prepare to complete the clean up work.
"The story of this region is unique. It needs to be told to everyone. Even in Washington, the most innovative state in the nation, this community is one of the most innovative communities in the state. There is little doubt in my mind that for years to come, great things will come out of this region to benefit not just the state, but our world" said Governor Gregoire.
Governor Gregoire asked community leaders to continue to put pressure on the state's and nation's leaders after November's election to make sure Hanford continues to receive funding for the clean up work.
She also says community leaders need to continue to fight for a permanent storage facility for all the waste at Hanford.
Governor Gregoire also toured the Waste Treatment Plant this morning.
Her last day in office is January 16th.

11th Tuesday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 23:23-28
The Lord said to the Jews who had come to him, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of extortion and rapacity. You blind Pharisee! first cleanse the inside of the cup and of the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity."

Government Shutdown Update
With two weeks and counting on the Government shutdown, House and Senate leaders remain intransigent in their positions. In an effort to get certain government programs running again, the House GOP continues to offer "piece-meal" resolutions to fund specific programs (e.g., National Institutes of Health, veterans' programs, national parks), yet the Senate majority has stated that they are not willing to accept piece-meal funding.
Coding Corner:
Practice Management Records ICD-10-CM Basic Training Course
Eligible providers (EPs) who do not participate in the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) in 2013 will incur a 1.5 percent Medicare payment adjustment (penalty) in 2015. For EPs who wish to avoid the payment adjustment but are not concerned with earning an incentive, participating in PQRS through Administrative Claims is an option. Through this option, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will automatically analyze an EP's Medicare claims on a pre-selected set of largely primary care-focused measures. The measures have little relevance to urology; so, one's "score" will not be completely pertinent to a urology practice. However, an EP gets credit for PQRS participation and successfully avoids the payment adjustment. Those choosing Administrative Claims must register with CMS, and CMS has just extended the deadline until Friday, October 18.
Additionally, in the Affordable Care Act, Congress requires CMS to apply a Value-Based Modifier (VBM) to all physicians' Medicare payments by 2017 and to some physicians' payment starting in 2015. In response, CMS intends to apply a 1 percent VBM penalty to the Medicare payments of physicians in groups of 100 or more that do not engage in GROUP participation in PQRS in 2013. This VBM penalty will be in addition to another 1.5 percent penalty that will apply to all physicians who do not participate in PQRS either as an individual or as part of a group. To avoid these penalties, physicians in groups of 100 or more should ensure that their GROUP is registered for one of the PQRS group participation options. This deadline was also extended until Friday, October 18.
In order to qualify for incentive payments (or avoid penalties beginning 2015) under the Meaningful Use program, one of the key requirements is to use Electronic Health Records(EHR) software that is certified in accordance with standards of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. According to an article published in the electronic newsletter iHealthBeat (link removed), practices that will be expected to meet the Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) standards in 2014 may have far fewer certified systems to choose from.
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has developed a risk calculator for surgical patients. Specifically, this tool is intended for non-emergency surgical patients and provides a preoperative risk assessment of postoperative complications. The calculation is based on specific patient data and encourages a personal discussion between the patient and physician about the risks associated with surgery.
The risk calculator can be used for a wide variety of surgical procedures, including urology, and is based on a validated, risk-adjusted statistical model predicting the 30-day postoperative complications for the specific procedure that patient is undergoing. Risk calculations are formulated based on preoperative patient-specific data, such as demographics (age, gender, race), relevant lifestyle and clinical risk factors (smoking status, body mass index), patient co-morbidities, procedure type, and procedure indication. Postoperative complications include 30-day risk adjusted mortality and 30-day risk-adjusted overall morbidity.

The second volume of the first GlobeStyle field trip, this time featuring the 'pop' music of this beautiful island gets an airing on CD. In 1985 GlobeStyle label supremos Ben & Roger ventured forth into unchartered territory armed only with a few mikes, a digital tape recorder, two wings (they were on the airplane belonging to Air Mad - who in their right minds would fly an airline called Air Mad!?!) and many prayers. Bit by bit they weeded out the groups that appear on this CD, all from around the Antanarivo area. Most of the recordings were done in a marathon 15 hour session at the minimal Studio Fa on the last day of the trip and what may be missing in fidelity is more than made up for by the enthusiasm and the performances of the musicians. Since this seminal trip, several other companies have been to Madagascar to record, and one of the bands, Rossy have cut several albums in Germany and toured extensively.

Brain-Damaged Americans Hate Sex, Love Football
Superbugs! Libido lack! Depressed students! Football brain! Dumb food docs! Marines with cancer! Whooping cough! Headline minds! It's your Friday Health Watch, where we watch your health—as best we can, through the fog of concussion!
- Drug resistant "superbugs" have been found in 20 states across America, meaning that your chances of death are still 100%, sooner or later.
- Almost 40% of women reportedly have "low libido," yet few of them seek help from doctors, and even fewer seek help from bloggers, which is another problem altogether.
Medical students suffering from depression "are more likely to fear stigma than their non-depressed counterparts." As well they should be.
- This problem of brain damage from playing football becomes ever more horrifying the more we find out about it. But what is more important, America: the brains of your children, or drinking beer and eating grilled meat in urban parking lots on weekend? We know your answer, fuckers.
- Here is a report in a newspaper saying that doctors, who went to medical school, do not know jack shit about nutrition. Well, hell.
- Apparently a bunch of US marines got cancer thanks to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. There they are off fighting the Commies and little do they know the enemy is right there at home, in the form of tetrachloroethylene. Classic Tom Clancy material.

Back to basics
Ryan Lambert
February 12 2009 10:05AM
That's a tough one to swallow.
After the way Calgary pummelled Montreal the other night, you had to figure the team had turned some sort of corner. That maybe, even if it was a home game the Flames had won, the high-octane offense might continue, or the heads-up defense.
No such luck. The Flames' offense was poor once again last night (only 23 shots) and pretty much everything else was unimpressive. How does a team as good (on paper) as Calgary get outshot by Anaheim 30-16 at even strength? And the best part is, there's another game tonight.
Oh the dread we now feel going into any road back-to-backer. There's no way they win tonight, right? I mean, it seems literally impossible. And the Kings aren't playing badly any more either. So that's just great.
The Good
- Dion Phaneuf-Mark Giordano pairing finally had a good night collectively. Phaneuf was active, getting his stick in passing lanes, and creating turnovers that the Flames took up the ice. Giordano was doing much of the same. It was rather refreshing to see.
- Miikka Kiprusoff was the best player on the ice. Despite getting peppered with 40 shots, he made 37 saves, and quite a few of them were difficult. Even the game-winning goal got tipped by a defenseman (Phaneuf, funnily) so he can hardly be faulted for the OT loss.
- Speaking of which, getting *a* point on the road is better than getting no points on the road.
- The Lombardi line was very good once again.
The Bad
- Apart from his goal, Todd Bertuzzi was his normal subpar self. This might be the first 20-goal, 30-assist guy that has ever cost less than $2 million and still had a disappointing season.
- Calgary may have created scoring chances by getting traffic to the front of the net early in the game, but it seemed to completely abandon the strategy once Bertuzzi's goal, the direct result of Iginla getting his ass in JS Giguere's face, went in. "Up 1-0," they said. "That's good enough for us.
- At some point the Flames need to realize that you don't win hockey games with just two goals.
The Ugly
- *This spot reserved for every one of Jarome Iginla's last five games*
- More road losses to playoff teams. Hooray.
You pretty much nailed it.
I railed against Jarome's sub-par season even when the Flames were winning and this is why - having your $7M, #1 forward perform below expectations is never a good thing, especially in the long term. Iginla got 25 minutes of ice last night, and aside from the diving play he made to poke the puck off of Nieds stick during that break-away, almost every single one of them was in vain.
It's one thing if David Moss or Dustin Boyd slump: then they jut suck for 10 minutes or so every night. But the Flames need Iginla to out-play tough competition for nearly half of every game. When he doesn't do that, the burden on every one else gets much bigger.
February 12 2009, 10:46AM
Dion Phaneuf has cemented himself with Bertuzzi in the bottom 50 IN THE LEAGUE in +/-. On a plus team no less. How does a "Norris Candidate" do that? By being full of himself. That's how. The only other players in the league entrenched in mediocrity on a decent team are the Ducks 4th liners.

To some residents, the clip-clop of a horse's hoofs and dampened hush of a snowy night sky signify the arrival of the holiday season.
Downtown Parker contains the quintessential elements of an enchanting Colorado Christmas. Big-city outsiders can only dream of its small-town bliss, complete with extravagant light displays, garland-wrapped street posts and what has become an annual tradition in Parker: horse-drawn carriage rides.
The Old Town Parker Holiday Carriage Rides, which are being billed as a "Norman Rockwell-like holiday experience," began Nov. 23 during the mayor's holiday lighting ceremony. From 4-7 p.m. every Saturday through Dec. 22, the carriage will shuttle families, couples and friends through the streets of downtown, stopping by places like Vines Wine Bar, Parker Station and the Victorian Peaks building on Pikes Peak Drive.
Council member-elect Joshua Rivero, who owns Fika Coffeehouse on Mainstreet, was among the leaders of the now-disbanded Downtown Development Council, which created the carriage rides in winter 2009. His shop also hosts Douglas County Libraries' holiday storytelling sessions in conjunction with the rides. The idea of the weekly festivities is to "get people out and about" and inspire holiday spirit, he said.
"The malls are great, but people are also looking for Christmas how it used it be," Rivero said.
And in a day and age when it seems like everything has a price tag, the carriage rides are free, courtesy of the Parker Chamber of Commerce and a handful of sponsors. The event has attracted thousands of people with not only the carriage rides, but with story readings, live entertainment and seasonal refreshments.
Rivero said other Front Range towns, like Littleton and Arvada, have central downtown cores that are conducive to events like carriage rides. Parker is among communities building the rides into a signature event as the downtown district continues to take shape.
