Only three board members are present, Rob Hudson, Eddie Prather and Beth Stone. Amy Heyer had a family issue and Lee Tucker is out of town. Three board members is a quorum.
The board selected its officers for the upcoming year. The one-year terms are always chosen in March by the TPSD board. Eddie Prather was elected as board president, with Beth Stone as vice president and Rob Hudson as secretary. That follows the normal rotation, where board members rotate from secretary to vice president to president.
Prather, Stone and Kenneth Griswald are now making a presentation about a visit they made to the Cullman, Ala., school district to look at technology there. Prather and Stone said they saw from that meeting that Tupelo is ahead of the curve on a lot of things.
Cullman also has a one-to-one laptop initiative. The distirct started its roll out in 2006 and has seen its test scores increase since then.
Culman phased-in its plan for 1-to-1….Started with teacher laptop with 7-8 th grade and added technology in classrooms….followed with students the next year….added one grade level each year.
They used leases. Classroom set for each grade level at the elementary school. The Middle School is most similar to Tupelo's 1-to-1, but they have Dell PCs not Apple. At the high school, they started taking them home but then they decided to go to classroom sets.
Key factors:
Board support, they right people on the bus and making sure you have the right people on the bus.
The principal talked about the importance of community involvement and support. Also key were faculty buy-in and making sure there was equity in all facilities.
They had to consider wireless issues, what to do with textbooks, collection at the end of the year. Griswald said it is a lot of the same issues Tupelo has faced.
Griswald said there was a reduction in discipline incidents each year after the laptop roll-out.
One of Cullman's bumps was stolen or damaged laptops. They had less than 10 stolen and not many with major damage, Griswald said. One reason, Griswald said, is they don't send them home at the high school and at the middle school they gave them a case. Even when it is open on the desk, it remains in the case. The case keeps the lid of the laptop from opening too much, which was a problem that Tupelo has seen a lot.
The superintendent found Twitter to be a valuable cummincation tool during the tornado last year. This year, she has encouraged teachers to get professional Twitter accounts to communicate with parents in real-time, let them know what students are learning.
Rob Hudson asks about what Tupelo is doing to gather feedback of what is working and not working. Griswald said they have had surveys and that lines of communication are open. He said they have had meetings with groups of parents and teacher-advisory councils where these issues were discussed. Mary Ann Plascencia said there hadn't been a formal process but they've piloted some things. For instance, they piloted a student-response system at the high school and they are getting honest feedback from the teachers. She said they have collected a lot informally from what they've heard from teachers and parents throughout the last two years. Griswald said there has also been an opportunity for teachers to give feeback on Haiku, and they've used that feeedback to guide future training.
Griswald said that a key takeaway was that each building was deciding what professional development was needed. Central office supported that, but the schools were empowered to determine what they needed.
Prather said that Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr. also joined them on the trip and that he was really interested in hearing more about the community's feelings about Cullman's laptop initiatives.
Several principals will now make a presentation on visits they made to various Star and High Performing schools to study what they were doing.
Fred Hill said several groups have gone but that he has chosen these four groups to make presentations today. He said the groups were asked to look at things those schools were doing that helped them to become star and high performing schools. He said he wanted them to see districts whose students were more disadvantaged than Tupelo's but who were performing better.
Eddie Prather asked about New Albany Elementary, which gives students assessments each week and uses those to guide instruction. He asks Parkway Principal Anna Guntharp and Lawhon Principal Christy Carrol, who visited NAES, if they are doing something similar. Guntharp said that Parkway and Thomas Street teachers have been getting together to write such assessments. Carrol said that Lawhon is also giving weekly assessments.
Beth Stone asked about Pontotoc Elementary, which had larger class sizes that Tupelo but uses a teacher and an assistant teacher in each classroom. Renee Price, a teacher at Carver who visited PES, said that the teachers there seem to like that and that Tupelo teacehrs would also like that. She said that having that extra body helps.
Prather asks about Clinton, which has similar demographics to Tupelo. Ken McGaha, assistant principal at Tupelo Middle who visited Clinton, said the biggest thing they noticed was the internal support in the buildings of a competitive environment. They were supportive of each other and competitive with each other, as well. He said there was a lot of community support. He said there wasn't a lot of teachnology, it was just teaching. He said they made sure each teacher had what they needed and that teachers handled discipline issues in their classroom.
Prather asks Milam Principal Travis Beard, who visited Tunica, about discipline there. Beard said they didn't see problems there. Prather asks how they handle it at Milam. Beard said that they use a step-by-step process where they start handling discipline closest to where the issue occurs. He said teachers handle it first and work with the parents before going to the office. He said the biggest problem is when things happen in the hallways. He said that Tunica uses a similar process.
Travis Beard said that several of the schools have added Study Island program as a result of these visits.
He said another strategy Milam began using was UNRAVEL, which can be used in math and reading. They saw it in Tunica.
Beard: "I think we will see from the visits, there have been changes in our schools this year."
Prather: We are building the budget and if some of those programs need to be put in the budget, we need to know soon.
Diana Ezell is making a presentation about the digital transition plan. She said they are working to go from paper to digital resources. One thing is they are working to get a smart board/promethean board or some sort of document projector in every classroom. They if they want to add different online programs, they will need ways for students to be able to get on line, possibly adding iPads. The area that is most barren is third- to fifth-grade and Mr. Meadows is working to get resources to those grades, Ezell said.
She said they will also have to begin replacing some equipment. The first student laptops (senior class of 2009-10) will be three years old in Decemeber. Also, lightbulbs on the smart boards will need to be replaced soon.
They have also added bandwidth.
Key will be to make sure that teaching and learning is driving technology and not the other way around, she said.
Ezell said 60 classrooms at the high school don't have interactive boards and 57 don't have them at 3-5. Milam, Middle School, K-2 and pre-K are all fully equipped with interactive boards.
Rob Hudson asks for more detailied information about projected costs for replacing technology. Ezell said the cost will be higher for August 2013 when the computers first given to sixth- to 11 th -grade students become three years old.
Ezell said they are working to wake the roll-out more efficient. She said they are going to need to get the laptops to students more quickly, especially if they are going to online textbooks.
Prather: When we got to digital texts, a lot of parents will want their children to come home with a textbook and we will need to educate our parents about that.
Finance director Linda Pannell is presenting a chart on assessed valuation and ad valorem collection through the years. She said that assessed valuation was growing in the early 2000s but has really levelled out in 2009 and hasn't increased since then. The school distirct has requested the maximum 55 mils, so it can't request any more. "We are really living on a fixed income," she said. Personal property has shown a small decline since then. Public utilities has declined every year since 2006 and 2007 with a small exception in 2009 and 2010. Automobiles has declined since 2008 and 2009.
The collection history goes back to 2004-05. Ad valorem collections for operations. For February of 2012, collections were over $13 million, that will be largest month and it will taper from there. Collections grew a little in January, then February and March and then gegan to taper down. She said that through the years, January and February and March tend to be the months when they get most revenue from local sources. It fluctuates which of those three months in which most of the collection comes.
The next presentation is about tutoring at Tupelo High School and the Decemeber subject area test re-test. Lea Johnson said it is looking at data of students who retook the test in September and those who did so in December. In September, 31 percent who were tutored passed the test, compared to 10 percent who weren't tutored. Out of the others who didn't pass it, 37 percent of the tutored students got through in December versus eight percent who were not tutored. She said she thinks the tutoring is helping and helping a lot for students who need to re-test. The question, she said, is what do we do for students who are at-risk who are in the classroom now. She said we are working on that, but we need to but a lot more emphasis on that.
Prather said the emphasis needs to be on getting students to pass the test the first time, and Johnson said she agrees. Meadows notes THS Principal Jason Harris' change in the way counseling is structured so that students keep the same counselors each year instead of getting a new one in every grade.
Stone asks about efforts being made to reach those studnets who are not currently being tutored to get them to use the tutoring services.
Johnson said there is also a large need for parents to help proctor during the upcoming state tests. She said that 800 parents are needed.
Griswald is now making a presentation about the summer curriculum writing project. He said last year's project was very helpful and they want to build on it again this year. He said they have been gathering feedback about what worked and didn't work from this past project. This year's project will also need to focus on common core, he said.
Griswald said they will soon meet with a core group to shape how this year's project will look. There will be a full-day presentation on May 29 with training from leaders. "We want to make sure the time is well spent and the product is the best product we can use." Goal will be to finish by the end of July so that teachers and principals will have more time to look at them.
They will revise all pacing guides and curriculum guides in state tested areas and K-2 english and math from last year. They will also revise pacing guides to address gaps.
They will pace for Common Core in grades 3-8 and will develop pacing guides for science and social studies for all grades K-8.
They will also revise the pacing guides for tested subjects at THS to fit the new block schedule.
They will incorporate technology and arts integration in all of their work.
There will be 75-100 certified staff. It will include project leads (curriculum department), curriculum team leaders (lead teachers; 20-25 certified staff paid $21 an hour), curriculum team writers (50-60 certified staff, pay of $18 an hour), curriculum team editors (10-15 certified staff, paid $18 an hour).
Applications were sent to all certified staff for team leaders. Received great candidates and they have been notified. Their work beings tomorrow. Applications will soon be sent for curriculum team writers and edtiors.
No one person will work more than 120 hours. Griswald said the project will probably take less time than last year because it will build on that work.
Estimated cost for staff will be $215,000. Materials and supplies will be $1,000 and printing cost will be $25,000. Total cost is estimated at $241,000.
Work will be done at Church Street and Parkway schools.
Stone said she likes the emphasis on building guides for social stuides and science. Griswald said that was based on feedback. Stone said she also likes the integration of technology and the arts.
Griswald said he hopes they have established the culture that this kind of feedback is valued.
The board is now considering the consent agenda. It includes some contracts, overnight and out of state field trips, grants. The board approves the consent agenda.
Board accepts the student transfer report, made by Pamela Traylor. They also approve the readmission of a student.
Jim Turner makes personnel report. It includes two new temporary staff positions. On classified section, there are seven new individuals. Several were added to substitute pool, brings pool to 193. Turner said the recruitment circuit has started. They have visited Memphis and Delta State Universities in order to try to select highly-qualified teachers earlier. They are forwarding information of those who have expressed interest in the district to all principals so they can begin the process early.
Board approves personnel report.
Linda Pannell presents the financial report and board accepts it. Board accepts the claims docket. The board also accepts the cash flow statements. Pannell said that although the fund balance is high now, the district will need it to get through the lean months until this time next year.
Fred Hill will present a second-reading of policy IHDB-E for GED programs. It would bring the district's policy in line with the state's policy. Students no longer have to be two years behind cohorts, but only one year behind when they reach ninth grade. The student must be approved by the superintendent to be in the GED program. The student also must be able to read at the eighth-grade level. Students would participate in a second ceremony for completion near the time of the district's normal graduation.
The board accepts the changes to the policy.
Pamela Traylor requests the board to ratify an administrative recommendation on a student discipline issue. The board accepts the reccomendation.
Under new business, several things must be approved for the first March meeting.
The board must reappoint legal counsel for the school board. Meadows recommends they reappoint Mitchell McNutt and Sams. The board approves the recommendation, appointing Mitchell, McNutt and Sams as legal counsel.
Meadows recommends that the board approves that Central Office remains the place to post special board meetings and meeting changes. The Hancock Center is a secondary location. Patrice Tate is designated as the person responsible for doing that. Board approves.
Meadows recommends that the board approves Tate to serve as recording secretary. Board approves.
The board also approves the process for authorization of district signatures, for district financial accounts. The board reaffirmed its existing policy.
The board appoints Beth Stone and Rob Hudson to a committee to study the 2011-12 audit.
On future agenda topics, Meadows said that Rob Hudson has requested an update on security cameras. He said they are preparing to bring an update soon. Meadows asks the board to consider, early in the year the district operated on the plan Moving Forward Together. It had four components: safe schools, recongizing teachers and principals as instructional leaders, improve academic performance and develop an avenue for community to address concerns. Meadows said he has identified things from those sessions. He asks that the board allows the superintendent to identify the common themes from the meetings with the community and that Meadows would present a plan to formalize those listening sessions and present them to a larger audience.
Perhaps they would be called "Councils of Excellence." They would allow students, teachers, parents and community members to give feedback. Meadows said that new superintendent Gearl Loden has expressed an interest in this.
Meadows said this would put the fourth-component of "Moving Forward Together" into action. He said that if the board approves the individual school processes, to formalize the sessions, it would be helpful.
Hudson said that the listening sessions have been a good first step and he's gotten a lot of feedback that said thanks for reaching out, but what is next.
Prather said that it should be reflected in the minutes that the board moved forward with this process.
Board votes to direct Meadows to begin the process of moving forward with the process of collecting information from those sessions and determing a plan for buidling upon that.
Hudson asks for an update on block scheduling and what will happen with sports teams.
Meeting is adjourned at 2:33 p.m.

text: Laser Vision Correction Surgery The procedures offered at the Laser Vision Correction Center include: LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) ASA (Advanced Surface Ablation) Phakic Intraocular Lenses Refractive/Clear Lens Exchange ICRS (Intracorneal Ring Segments) AK (Arcuate Keratotomy) LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) LASIK can correct varying degrees of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism and is generally the treatment of choice for patients with high degrees of myopia or hyperopia. In LASIK surgery, the underlying surface of the cornea is reshaped with the laser, allowing light to be refocused and vision improved. LASIK surgery generally results in little or no post-operative pain and rapid recovery of vision. a. Excimer Lasers, such as the ALLEGRETTO WAVE® or VISX CustomVue™, are used to produce beams of invisible ultraviolet light energy, and remove microscopic amounts of tissue in the eye; this process reshapes the curvature of the eye. b. Femtosecond Lasers, such as the FS200 or the Intralase®, are an all laser approach to vision correction; they create thin flaps in the eye using short laser pulses. The flaps are then lifted from the eye's surface, and the curvature of the eye is corrected. The convenience of LASIK (due to the quicker visual recovery and lack of post-operative pain) is what has made it a popular option for many patients. The need to create a corneal flap, however, adds a slightly increased risk to the surgery, and therefore some patients may be better served with PRK as opposed to LASIK. There are a number of factors that doctors must evaluate before they can determine who is eligible for LASIK. Some doctors deem certain pre-existing conditions to be contraindications to the procedure and will not perform surgery if you possess them. Other conditions may complicate the surgery and increase your risk of having post-operative problems. Patients with these conditions need to have a thorough conversation with their doctors regarding eligibility and expectation levels. LASIK improves the uncorrected vision -- one's visual capacity while not wearing corrective lenses -- in most patients who have the procedure. Over 90% of patients with low to moderate myopia achieve 20/40 or better vision (the level most states and provinces require for driving without glasses or contact lenses). Many patients can also expect to see better than 20/40 uncorrected. Some studies show that approximately 70% of patients may achieve 20/25, or better, uncorrected visual acuity following surgery. However, there are no guarantees that you will have perfect vision, and patients with high myopia (more than -7D) and high hyperopia (more than +4D) should have lower expectations. People who are most satisfied with the results of laser correction clearly understand the potential risks and complications of the surgery and possess realistic expectations of what their vision will be like following surgery. The effects of LASIK are permanent and do not wear off over time. However, a person's eye can still change internally (even after refractive surgery) and this is why many surgeons recommend proceeding only if a stable prescription exists. For instance, LASIK is not recommended on children because their eyes change a great deal as they continue to grow. If the procedure is performed after the age of 18, the chance of long-term stable correction is more likely, although the eyes of patients over the age of 18 can still change. Patients should also note that while results are stable long-term, a mild regression of the laser effect may occur during the first few post-operative months. This occurs in approximately 10% of patients and if noted, may require an enhancement procedure if your doctor feels it to be appropriate. ASA (Advanced Surface Ablation) ASA involves loosening skin cells in the eye and removing small amounts of eye tissue. The corneal surface is then treated with the laser. a. PRK (Photorefractive Keratotomy) reshapes the cornea with an excimer laser beam that emits ultra violet light after removing the epithelial surface layers of the cornea. b. LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis) involves creating an epithelial sheet that is replaced after the PRK treatment. LASEK is a procedure that combines many of the advantages of LASIK and PRK in that there may be less discomfort than after PRK and it is indicated in situations where LASIK cannot be performed (such as thin cornea and irregular corneal contours by topography). c. EpiLASIK uses a blunt blade to smoothly separate the epithelium from the cornea, creating a thin flap. Phakic Intraocular Lenses Phakic Intraocular Lenses are clear, implantable lenses that are surgically placed between the cornea and iris. The lenses allow light to focus on the retina, which causes clearer vision without glasses or contact lenses. The phakic intraocular lenses work from within the eye, unlike corrective lenses, which work from the surface of the eye. a. Visian ICL™ intraocular lenses are made to remain in the eye for a lifetime. Visian ICL™ lenses are able to treat patients with thin corneas, dry eyes, and patients with extreme refractive errors. Refractive/Clear Lens Exchange Refractive/Clear Lens Exchange is typically performed on patients with high degrees of hyperopia (farsightedness). In this procedure, the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial, intraocular lens. This corrects refractive error and helps achieve sharper focus. ICRS (Intracorneal Ring Segments) ICRS, also known as Intacs®, is currently only available to treat a specific low range of nearsightedness (myopia). Two, tiny crescents or arcs made of a transparent plastic material are placed in the outer periphery of the cornea. Once in place, the two arcs flatten the cornea so that light rays properly focus on the retina. Intacs® can be removed or replaced if vision changes. AK (Arcuate Keratotomy) AK reduces spherical error, and employs two arcuate incisions to reduce astigmatic error. Recovery is generally brief.

Medical Missions: Part of SLU Orthopaedic Surgeon's Routine
Dr. Howard Place Captures Med School's Alumni Community Service Award
ST. LOUIS -- A Saint Louis University professor of orthopaedic surgery who has traveled a dozen times to Central America and Africa to bring medical care to those in need is the 2013 recipient of the SLU School of Medicine 2013 alumni community service award.
|Philip Alderson, M.D., medical school dean, left, presents Dr. Howard Place with the SLU School of Medicine alumni community service award.
A 1983 graduate of SLU's medical school, Howard Place, M.D., is vice chair of the department of orthopaedic surgery and a SLUCare orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in spine and reconstructive surgery at Saint Louis University Hospital, SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, SSM St. Mary's Health Center and Mercy Hospital St. Louis.
"Dr. Place is one who truly embodies the Ignatian directive of service to others. His generous sharing of his time, talent and financial resources has helped to enrich the lives of many over the course of his life," said Philip Alderson, M.D., dean of SLU's School of Medicine.
Since 2001, Place has spent a week at a time in Haiti, the Dominican Republic or Kenya. Frequently at his own expense, he brought his wife who is a nurse and four of his five children on separate missions. These mission trips sometimes included undergraduate students who went on to pursue medical careers and orthopaedic surgery residents who donated their vacation time to serve others.
"The impact of my mission trips on my family and their personal lives and career choices has been significant," Place said. "I get more out of this than I ever give. It reminds me of why I became a doctor, and it makes me appreciate what I am able to do for people in St. Louis."
While in the Dominican Republic and Kenya, Place cared for patients with complicated spinal problems, doing as many as 18 spinal deformity procedures in five days. In addition to his services, he donated more than $3 million dollars worth of spinal implants and equipment to the Cure Hospital in the Dominican Republic and its patients.
He performed general orthopaedic surgery in Haiti, before and after the 2010 earthquake, and also cared for patients who have complicated spine problems.
Place earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 from the United States Military Academy at West Point and completed his orthopaedic training at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, Colo. He has served as chief of orthopaedic surgery at Fort Leonard Wood and chief of the orthopaedic service for the 47th Field Hospital in Desert Shield/Storm in 1990 - 1991.
He received the award at the 2013 SLU School of Medicine reunion last month.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: infectious disease, liver disease, cancer, heart/lung disease, and aging and brain disorders.

Not for me...
"These looked so cute online, but when I received them, I didn't really care for them. The bow is really big and was kind of smushed when it came out of the box - it just looked kind of awkward on me. These also run short - in sandals, I usually wear a 7.5, so that's what I ordered, but in these, but my toes were sticking out over the end, so I would have needed an 8. However, I decided not to keep these because of the way they looked on me, so they were returned to the store."

Hélène Virenque, Egyptologist
Since the start of excavations three weeks ago, room three – to the north of the room where Mary Shepperson found the decorated lintel – of house E13.6 has demanded most of my attention. Last week we revealed the walls of a phase beneath the house, which might be part of a long magazine, of the type already found in this area during an earlier season.
Rather different, here, is the construction of small walls one brick-width thick, delimiting two small spaces within the possible storage magazines.
Among the sand, mudbrick rubble and ceramics which filled this area, we came across pigments: lumps of yellow and red ochre (a natural resource), but also blue pigment, which must be made from transforming calcium carbonate and copper oxide. The blue pigment was found on ceramic sherds, on which it was prepared before use. We also found small blocks of pigment where one side has been flattened through rubbing, while the other has been impressed with the fingers of the ancient painter.
Completing the picture, a large granodiorite stone was found in the northern of the two small spaces; yellow pigment adhering to the depression in the working surface indicates this stone was used for pigment preparation.
Usually, raw pigments were mixed with a medium such as gum arabic or egg-white, before being applied. Perhaps these colours were being prepared to paint the walls of some rooms. Many were plastered with plain clay, but we have found evidence of red and white-painted walls. Fragments of painted plaster, possibly from a household shrine, found in 2011, display a similar colour palette, with reds, blues and yellows.
Thus far we can only be sure that these small – perhaps short-lived – spaces were used to prepare colour pigments. It does not mean the space was a dedicated workshop, as small-scale craft activities are known to have taken place within people's houses.

Posted on 09/30/2008 1:40:49 PM PDT by george76
Sen. Max Baucus and his wife, Wanda, may be splitting after 25 years...
Baucus, a Democrat who is running for his sixth six-year term this fall...
"In 25 years of spirited marriage, it is natural for differences of opinion to arise..."
(Excerpt) Read more at billingsgazette.net ...
Sounds like someone's been caught cheating...
Wanda Baucus, an artist and former Harvard professor, has kept a low profile throughout most of Baucus political career.
One notable exception came in 2004 when Mrs. Baucus was charged with a misdemeanor for assaulting another woman after a dispute over a bag of mulch at a Washington, D.C., garden store.
Bets on the gender of the co-conspirator?
Does he have a wide stance?............
I thought Baucus was a Mardi Gras parade?
Wasn't Baucus's wife the the one who had an altercation at a store in her area and didn't he show up to work with a black eye?
Mulch ado about nothing.............
That's the way Dims behave. They get tired of their old wife, divorce her and find a younger, more attractive woman. For Democrats, marriage is about sex, instead of the sacred union it is meant to be.
Harvard professor
Not to stereotype but....
offshore drilling?
Dont really give a rats ass
Baucus divorced his first wife, Ann Geracimos, in 1982.
Then... Not bad at all.
More recently... Matronly, probably nuts, but still not bad.
In any case, youre stereotyper may be due for a tuneup.
Wouldn't you agree that your description applies to McCain? How about Gingrich?
Grounds for divorce, possible quote:
"I thought she was an 4$$ and she thought I was one. And that was our area of disagreement, since neither of us thought we were an 4$$."
(4$$ is a legal term.)
He caught her listning to Rush Limbaugh on her radio.
That would probably be Baccus, god of wine.
That would probably be Baccus, god of wine.
Plenty of "conservatives" play the out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new trophy wife sweepstakes, too. Including many here on FR. They're economic conservatives, that's all. (Except with trophy wife's no-limit bling-bling charge cards, of course.)
Was the story covered in the Washington Compost?
double post. sorry
McCain, Gingrich, Limbaugh...
At least it's not about Jim Backus (Thurston Howell, III). It would be hard for him and his wife to split up when he's been dead for 19 years.
Thats the way Dims behave. They get tired of their old wife, divorce her and find a younger, more attractive woman. For Democrats, marriage is about sex, instead of the sacred union it is meant to be.
I had no idea that John McCain was democratic. Be careful how you talk...this is not something we need to bring up. Let's just let this one slide.
has a son named Zeno from his first marriage..
must have known Frank Zappa ..
Bush's fault?
Republicans are arguably as bad if not worse. The "high moral ground" argument isn't one the GOP can come anywhere close to making without being laughed off the stage.
Not happy about it, but I don't wear rose colored glasses and pretend that reality is somehow different than it is.
I would go with deep shaft mining
Kelleher is an elderly non-candidate.
I have noticed that Hannity is not wearing his wedding ring these days. I have sort nosed around here about it, just curious if I missed anything?
"Sounds like someones been caught cheating..."
On what grounds did you make that statement?
Baucus, a Democrat who is running for his sixth six-year term this fall...Time for Baucus to be "Jack-Ryaned"? Thanks geo.
Top photo makes her out to be the poor man's Kim Basinger, although she's a lot smarter, I'd guess.
excellent evaluation!

Origins of Malu (OOM) doesn't seem to be getting a ton of coverage for a game that, at least to me, looking very interesting. It's a sandbox that's supposedly coming out at the end of this year so you'd think it would be getting more coverage...
There's the game as listed on here. I'd go to the homepage to check out some ingame footage. It doesn't look too bad to me for a sandbox.
I really like the graphical style. It reminds me of Ryzom. When it releases I'll definitely have to try it out. I can't pass on a sandbox game.
One does not simply telnet into Mordor.
It had a strong presence at PAX, I just think this particular site isn't giving it much coverage.
It's also (from what I saw and heard) still in early alpha. The game has great potential... but so did many MMOs that released in the past 5 years and completely flopped. I very much doubt it would do well if released at the end of the year in its current state, unless they can do some crazy things in 4 months.
Here's an article on the games coverage at Prime; http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/09/14/pax-prime-2012-hands-on-with-origins-of-malu/ .
Bill said in the talkback for last week's MMOFTW that they were going to have a lot of info on Malu soon, so I'm guessing soon should be.. soon? *shrug*
<span com_body"="">You guys should see what Origins of Malu are planning... we'll have the scoop on that probably next week. You'll love it, if you liked Galaxies.

Having read about the game on their website it sounds good on paper, but when watching the videos... meh.

Well, MMORPG.com just did a write up on it today, so I guess it is getting some attention at least.
I just saw that, too. It is great. I wonder if this thread had anything to do with it? Either way, it's now on my watch list, along with The Repopulation.

Highly disappointed...
"I have several pairs of BCBG sandals and have no complaints on the pairs I already own. However, for BCBG Max Azria (not BCBG Girls), I expected a higher quality shoe. I'm very disappointed because the price was right and they looked very cute in the pictures! Pay attention to the pictures because I didn't realize the wedge heel is actually a split wedge heel and I didn't like that at all. I will be returning these as well :-("

Humber still trying to process perfection
By Josh Liebeskind / MLB.com
"I'm thinking he's got to throw a fastball," Mariners infielder Brendan Ryan said. "There's no way he's going to want to take a chance and walk me on the last pitch. No chance. I'm staying on the fastball, 100 percent. There's no way he's throwing the slider. And he threw the slider. I cannot believe he threw the chase slider there."
On the other hand, Humber is still trying to wrap his head around the greatest individual accomplishment he's achieved in his professional career. It was just the second start of the season for the right-hander, after his spot was skipped in the rotation earlier in the year because of a rain delay.
The ever-humble Humber said Sunday morning he received a mass influx of calls and texts following the perfect game. And even though there were easily over 100 texts in his inbox, he replied to every single one.
"I didn't get to call as many people as I would've liked to, but I got to text most everybody," he said. "At least let them know I got their messages and I appreciated it.
"It's just really neat, there's a lot of people I hadn't heard from in a long time, and a lot of people I wanted to hear from, maybe didn't have their number, stuff like that. But somehow they got in touch with me and were able to be a part of it. It was just fun to be able to share it with some people that had impacted my life and my career to this point."
One of those people that reached out to Humber was Mark Buehrle, who sent the righty a text immediately following Saturday's game. The former White Sox pitcher is the owner of both a perfect game and a no-hitter, and was a mentor of sorts to Humber last season.
"Actually, I probably need to ask him, there are some things that I don't know exactly how I'm going to handle," Humber said. "He's been through it before, and so I want to definitely use him."
It'll be a relief for Humber to find out what parts of the historic game should be sent to the Hall of Fame and what he gets to keep. He presumes the game ball will be one of the items sent to Cooperstown, and to avoid the risk he'd lose it or play catch with it, he gave it to clubhouse manager Vince Fresso. But as far as other mementos, he'll take it all.
"Hopefully I get to keep as much of it as I can," Humber said. "I doubt I'll throw one again, so it would be nice to have as much to remember it by as I can."
De Aza's production a welcome sight
SEATTLE -- Alejandro De Aza hasn't played in more than 54 games during a single Major League season. But 14 contests into the 2012 campaign, the center fielder has shown he's ready to be a bona fide top of the order batter.
De Aza, who is batting .268 with 13 runs, three home runs and seven RBIs from the leadoff spot, received his first off day on Sunday from White Sox manager Robin Ventura. Ventura said De Aza wasn't "feeling that good" Saturday, but didn't want to scratch him from the lineup too close to game time.
The first-year White Sox manager emphasized it was just a routine day off, and that he's been very pleased with what De Aza's been giving him from the leadoff spot.
"Not only getting on, but he works counts, does everything you want your leadoff hitter to do," Ventura said. "I'm very happy with what he's done.
"I think to start to the game he's kind of like your regular leadoff hitter, where he's working counts and doing things, but once it turns over, he's just another hitter. It's not like he's a gimmick at the top, he's a quality hitter."
Lillibridge starts in front of family, friends
SEATTLE -- White Sox utility player Brent Lillibridge received a rare start on Sunday, replacing regular left fielder Dayan Viciedo for the series finale in Seattle. Lillibridge is a Seattle-area native.
Lillibridge had an inkling that he would start, but once he saw his name in the lineup, he sent out the mass text to family and friends.
"It will be fun, obviously, for the family to come see me play, instead of just watching," Lillibridge said. "I'm ready to go, hoping to do some damage offensively and play some good defense."
Lillibridge collected his first hit of the season on Saturday, hitting a pinch-hit single to left in the ninth inning, and singled and stole second leading off Sunday's game. He had gone hitless in his first nine at-bats of the season.
Worth noting
Philip Humber's perfect game on Saturday was the third a White Sox pitcher has thrown. That ties them with Yankees as the only teams with three perfect games. The White Sox and Red Sox both have 18 no-hitters, which is good for second place to the Dodgers (20).
Paul Konerko is just two home runs shy of 400 for his career. Konerko hit one on Saturday in his first at-bat, and barely missed another home run in his second plate appearance, as the ball bounced off the top of the left-field wall.

Well Made - But size down!
"I love Seychelles, and these are my first pair of flats from them. I've never really been a fan of flats because I always get blisters in some way and they just never seem to fit quite right. These are very well made, though, and have good support. I love them, but I would recommend sizing down because they run a little larger."

I have to agree. I like the fact that Guild Wars has headed away from so much instancing. But at the same time, what they think is game breaking - really isn't - as game breaking as they think.
Yes, they have dynamic events, but they talked it up as if it was something not yet touched upon. When in reality all they did was keep looping the same -event- over and over and over. It got boring, and it got boring quickly.
I had this idea that the events would more random, and what we did could affect the entire progression of the game. I did really like how they laid out the skill keys for my elementalist. That was very nice.
I liked many things about the game but there was so many restrictions on how your gear looked, and it just seemed like a mish-mash of free for alls - which was not so much a bad thing but - I can't explain it - I just felt as if would be fun to hit up now and then - but I did not feel totally connected to it.
But - I fully anticipate they will explore more options, and ideas and we will see the game evolve with input from the players.
I did not - NOT - like it, but I think I'll wait a bit more to return, and jump in when they do some updates/upgrades and changes.
The people btw were very nice, kind and I did love the energy. The community will undoubtedly become a winning part of GW2.
Aren't red5 and anet both seattle-based with ex-blizzard employees at them?
Is that why we are getting all of this gw2 lovin? Mark Kern is a smart guy, there is no way he writes such an over-the-top article without ulterior motives.
GW2 did not change the face of MMORPGs, it sold the same as the other big MMORPG launch this year, and that one was P2P, and there is no evidence that GW2 has good retention rate.
It did not innovate, it merely polished SOME things, while generally just making the game so easy that it would attempt to appeal to the masses and be a complete letdown to gamers that want those crazy hard challenges.
MMORPGs are supposed to be about playing characters that you build up and develop some sorta connection with in a game world. When you make the journey too easy, it is harder to build a bond.
Anyone that got max level in eq1 before velious knows what I'm talking about.
facebook and twitter is what is popular in this day and age though, and with the way mainstream consumers are, it's no wonder that we are getting flooded with these super-easy games that require little brain activity to play.

Solutions? The devloper's joib. I think there have been more than enough ideas thrown around. They just need to start thinking outside the box.
Any mmo that come's out without Dynamic Events is a step back.
In gw2 DE's are pretty well done, can be improved and i bet Anet are working on that for sure
In the meantime i realy hope other mmo studio's forget the pickup a quest at a hub go out and bring it back.
I woulnt ever play a quest hub based mmo again tbh :P
Isn't this the past, present and future of MMORPG's? but dev's are too scared to let go of the power and see where it takes them.
This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.
hallo ~_~
Thats what i tought too, thats there was gonna be Game masters doing events special things, i have noticed some towns that sometimes will be different, like for example the centaur will own that town and theres gonna be a war, and you can go some other time and the town will be owned by friendly npcs and you can be safe without any monsters in there or agro. And there was one cave in the human lands that sometimes would be open and sometimes will be closed full with rocks. But thats all i have seen for now.
The dynamic events :# a lot of them are bug, the npcs you have to escort sometimes are just standing they wont walk, that also happened to me in the story line where Trahearne becomes marshal, that cave, im stopped in that part.
Im kinda unconfortable that the game wasnt finish on release and also about the dungeons i do agree 100% with you about the trash mobs and the big chest full of whites and blues at the end, not full just 1 or 2 items. I kinda feel bad for Arena im 50/50.

No. There's a reason Left 4 Dead 2 is shown up in the article. The Left 4 Dead games used a aystem they called the AI Director that scaled game challenge and events in response to how the players were faring.
This concept greatly predates Hunger Games from within the game world itself. It is largely reference to a virtualization of human game masters so that there is not a need of constant human handling to ceatre a dynamic experience.
In a sense it's been a longtime holy grail of game design.
The other reason it's a thing worth mentioning is because of Gaia. Or what was previously being called Gaia in Firefall.

If you want to see where genre should evolve, go check EVE Online. It should be example for every MMO dev. Not another fantasy theme park with repetative grindfest called "dynamic events".

PUG grouping for PVE/co-op story mode is the only other thing that kind of justifies the "massively" part of the MMORPG genre, but then again, that's just the way things are done once people are already inside the MMO model. Non-MMO online gaming has always had other ways to group up with random available people from a pool of available players. So all over, the PVE players are everywhere being asked to accept 2nd tier priority status. Some of them want to be single players. Others want multiplayer, but all they need is one "m" multiplayer, not two "m" "massively multiplayer." An MORPG is what RPG fans really want, not an MMORPG. "MMO's" are now a different sort of established genre.
Final Fantasy XI handled the first 'M' just fine. A very limited form of PvP (Ballista and Brenner) notwithstanding, FFXI was pretty much entirely PvE.
FFXI had content that ranged anywhere from 1 to 2 people, on up to alliances of 18 people, and farther on up to open events (similar to, but more involved than GW2's DEs) in its Campaign Battle and Besieged scenarios. You could have as many as 200 people participating in a single Besieged, and hundreds of people were participating in Campaign Battles across various different battle fronts.
It was everyone fighting along side each other, for a common goal, just like the DE's in GW2. Difference is, things didn't just "reset" after a CB or Besieged was over. The outcome of Campaign Battles could have an effect on the game world, as it determined who had influence/control over a given area, as well as the frequency and severity of attacks. In Besieged, certain key NPCs could be taken hostage and players could fight their way into Beastman strongholds to try and rescue them. So long as those NPCs were imprisoned, players would not be able to use their services (e.g. chocobo rental, teleportation, etc). So, the outcome had an actual lasting impact on players.
Besieged and Campaign Battles were introduced in 2006 and 2007 respectively; 5 and 6 years prior to GW2. Each system was designed with *far* more depth and *far* more impact on the game world and the players than DEs in GW2 do. So, no, ANet hasn't brought anything great or innovative to MMOs with their DE's. It's been done before.
Point is, you can absolutely have large scale content in a PvE MMO, accounting for that first 'M', and it already has been done. It's just that - with so many people wanting more "me" and less "we" in their gameplay, developers haven't explored it very much. It certainly can be done. It just isn't.
And please don't be one of those people who will now move the goal post by modifying or amending your arguments. That's a request not to do it, not a suggestion that you are or will.
You seem to not understand why, after only a month, half of gw2 playerbase is gone for others.
The word is coherency.
In the world you describe, there is no coherency. there is only a long sequence of trivial encounters decided on a dice roll.
Think, a lot of players complain SW:TOR because it has no coherency, because what you have done before doesn't change the future path, Do you really think a series of casual events can be a solution?
I was a DM, I have done some "canvas story", or I have played that, but it's absolutely incomparable to a well written story.
The same difference between an hot dog and a dinner at the fancy restaurant.
Next Step'
Complete world builder where in different parts of the mmo world people create different things, If enough people believe in a God, than a God is created and changes the way that part of the world interacts-how cool would that be

See the thing is GW2 didn;t change everything. DEs are the future for themepark games maybe and GW2 deffently opened up some things to the themepark mmo world. However no one is gonna switch to coping what GW2 did.
Its funny you say this bcause a) youre wrong about it being for themeparks and b) people are already doing similar things and trying to improve upon them (in the same way that DEs were not 100% original, but an improved version of PQs from Warhammer)
Look up The Repopulation. Sandbox game with a system similar to DEs (though more random and with more impact on the world) currently in alpha testing. Fromt heir features page:
The easiest way to describe the Engagement system in The Repopulation is as a Random and Mutating Public Quest. Engagements occur randomly throughout the world, and depending on how players respond to them they can mutate and spread. Engagements can change the entire content of an area, for better or for worse.
For those unfamiliar with Public Quests, here is a brief overview of that mechanic. Public Quests are shared by all players in an area, at least by those of the appropriate faction. There are objectives, and anyone who contributes to completing those objectives is eligible for a reward upon completion. The level of their contribution affects their chances and quality of loot. Public Quests have been a successful mechanic in several titles, originating with Warhammer Online but also being found in Champions Online, Everquest 2 and Rift. The key advantage of Public Quests is that they encourage teamwork and make it easy for players to meet and cooperate with one another.
So how do our engagements differ from Public Quests? Let's take a look.
Public Quests commonly occurred in static locations and repeated shortly after the previous incarnation of them was complete. Engagements in The Repopulation spawn randomly throughout the world and use any number of different templates. This causes content to mutate and change over time based on elements within and outside of the player's control.
Engagement templates can specify a complex chain of stages. Each stage can end when certain specifications are met, or after a period of time. Depending on how an Engagement ended it can progress to a different stage and it can also spread to other nearby Engagement nodes. Those child nodes can in turn continue to spread to children of their own.
To give a functional example of a spreading Engagement we can take a look at the system in the Aemar Mine. Under normal circumstances the mine is filled with standard mission opportunities related to its operations. But there are any number of events that can occur randomly and alter the complex entirely.
One of those scenarios is an invasion by the Lesoo. They will invade through the first floor and if they are not stopped they will barricade themselves in and then begin spreading to the lower levels, one at a time. While a level is occupied by the Lesoo, there will be new mission opportunities, though the old ones are currently defunct until the invaders can be cleared and operations can be restored. This includes new bosses and mini-bosses that grow in power the longer they have occupied the area.
This is just one of several scenarios that can occur in the mines and each alters the mine in one way or another while it is in effect.
As Engagements spread, they can completely change the environment of an area. This includes appearances, NPCs, and missions. NPCs can set up permanent camps or defenses that will remain until they are stopped.
Our hope is the Engagement system will prevent content from becoming stale by providing an ever-changing world where the player's actions really do matter.
The concept of "gameplay through time" isnt exactly accurate. Its not where you go, its what you do. How you are immersed into a rich and believable storylines that are engaging and player determined , simply look at Secret World, they completely hit the nail on the head. Creating zones, with a general direction, but also giving players the choice to go where they pleased. So they werent pigeonholed into a linear path. However, they didnt create enough, or look at the end game with an approach to longetivity. Something Funcom repeatedly seem to fail on.
But anyway, back to the point. Alot of MMO's fail to hire good storywriters these are the most important people imo.
TBH im kinda getting fedup with the whole "THIS GAME CHANGES THE MOLD" Hysteria.. Every time a big game comes out its hollar'd out from every corner.. The only games that ever changed the mold were EQ, EVE & WoW... Thats it.. MMO's are set in stone now to be carbon copies of the above and its going to take awhile for them to develop something completely original.. and genre redefining...
In all honesty, the latest "MMORPG CHANGING EVERYTHING" ive found, is minecraft.. Throw in some RPG plugins setup a server, and you've pretty much got your own sandbox MMORPG, where you can build or destroy anything you want.. Classes, races, pvp, quests, w/e How many MMO's can boast that? None..
Sandbox is gonna be the next big changer..
Ever since my first dynamic event in everquest, in form of a GM event (which unfortunately stopped again), I have been dreaming of mmorpg worlds with real adventure rather than scripted fights. There is simply nothing like something you are not sure how will play out. Exploring a new area or new quest is just not the same, as you know it is static and even the build in randomness is not very dynamic no matter how good it is made.
Anyways, ever since then I have been dreaming of that world that invited you in, and your "montly fee" would pay for real life Game Masters with the purpose of creating dynamic adventure for the players. Not all the time and not specifically for one person / party, but sometimes .. just the very idea that you are in a dynamic world where everything can and WILL happen could give the magic pen and paper roleplaying has. Might not be doable with a 13$ a month fee, but I am sure there are other options to fund such a thing if you just think outside the box.
Dreams are free and this is mine.

What a celebrationPosted Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at 9:37 AM
I've been to a lot of parties, parades, and celebrations and I have seen a lot of fireworks displays, but I don't think they could be compared to what little I have seen of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebration.
Of course, 60 years is a long time to be queen, but then 60 years is a long time to do anything.
I was watching television and saw a bit of the fireworks display last week and I have to say it was elaborate. Diamond Jubilee activities have certainly made world news.
I have not studied much on the duties of the British kings and queens, but I know it would have to be a big job and to do it for 60 years would deserve a celebration.
According to what little I did read, Queen Elizabeth was born a princess and became a queen at an early age because of the death of her father, the King.
I am sure she has a very large staff but it still would have to be a big responsibility. I guess it is just a way of life for her, but I can't imagine the responsibility. The article I read said only one other, Queen Victoria in 1897, served as queen for 60 years.
A few years ago I was very fortunate to be able to go to England when my son and his family were stationed there with the Air Force. We made the tour bus to Buckingham Palace and other great places and I was fascinated. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the Queen during my visit.
When I was growing up in Northeast Arkansas and chopping cotton in Grandpa's fields, I dreamed about going to see an ocean but I never even considered the possibility of crossing one. It was a great trip and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to see where the Queen lives.
I like visiting other places, but I have to say I like living right here on Buffalo Island. We may not have tall mountains, ocean beaches, skyscrapers, malls, or waterfalls, but we have good friends and neighbors. Our lives may be slow compared to city life but when we have a need, our friends and neighbors are there. We may speak a little slower with our southern drawl but most of the time we can bank on a person's word.
We have our own celebrations coming up in the near future. We will be celebrating the Fourth of July and families will be gathering and firework displays will be held. This year the holiday will be in the middle of the week with July 4, coming in on Wednesday.
The annual Fourth of July picnic will be held in Caraway with a parade, carnival, entertainment, drawings, and a demolition derby.
The Leachville Cave Dwellers plan to hold their annual fireworks display on the Fourth of July in the Leachville City Park.
Buffalo Island has Relay for Life coming up on June 22 at the Leachville City Park with all proceeds going to fight cancer.
As I said before, we live in an area where people really care. They give their time and their resources. My family has never had a major tragedy and had to face it alone. People were there. When we lost loved ones, they brought food and condolences.
It is not the place, but the people that make Buffalo Island such a special place to live.
If we made a list of the pros and cons of our area, I truly believe the pros would win hands down. If we could eradicate the mosquitoes, it would be the "perfect" place to live.

Our Righteous Father Theodosius the Cenobiarch
The Gospel according to Matthew 11:27-30
The Lord said to his disciples, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

OXFORD – Memphis-based Southern Airways Express is set to begin executive-aircraft flight service from Oxford, Olive Branch and downtown airports in Memphis and Birmingham to several Gulf Coast destinations over the next several weeks.
Keith Sisson, a company spokesman, said the radar-equipped turboprop planes will transport nine passengers in leather-seated luxury with iPad-based entertainment, at prices from $129 to $249.
"We're basically exporting the private-plane ownership experience to the general public," he said. "Most of the people who've flown on these planes in the past have been business executives or people who owned their own planes."
The non-pressurized aircraft will fly at around 10,000 feet – an advantage for sightseeing – with pilots who have thousands of hours of flight experience.
"With the exception of one younger pilot, they all look a little like Sully Sullenberger, so people will be comfortable with them," Sisson said.
Flying Mid-South residents to executive airports in Panama City and Destin, Fla.; Gulf Shores, Ala.; and New Orleans was the idea that spawned the service, but it turns out there's interest in the reverse as well.
"We're going to be promoting travel to Oxford and Memphis for (Gulf Coast) residents," Sisson said. "There are 200 members of the Destin, Fla., Ole Miss Alumni Association chapter that are very excited about being able to fly to Oxford."
Service will begin later this month from Memphis' General DeWitt Spain Airport and Olive Branch, with Oxford and Birmingham routes starting in early June. After Labor Day, a business-oriented service will prevail, with Oxford's route – and possible service from Tupelo – extending to executive airports in Jackson and Gulfport. Southern Airways Express also plans to offer flights both to home and away games for Ole Miss football fans.
"This will be great for someone who's looking to come to Oxford for a game," said Mary-Kathryn Herrington, Oxford's director of tourism.
Free parking and free baggage are two advantages that Southern Airways Express folks are touting, along with a 15-minutes-before-takeoff check-in whose only TSA screening is an automatic check of its no-fly list upon ticket purchase.
Add the use of small airports close to where travelers want to be, CEO Stan Little said at a fly-in reception in Memphis earlier this week, and "I can get you door to door, from your house in Memphis to your hotel on the beach, in two-and-a-half to three hours."
Even the company's retro uniforms are reminders of a time when air travel was enjoyable.
"We're a Memphis-based airline – so much so that our pilots are wearing blue suede shoes as part of their uniform," Sisson said. "We're out to make flying fun again."

Currently SOUTHERN AIRWAYS EXPRESS is on Facebook. Sometime this week the company expects to launch its website,

Hair RemoverI HAVE USED A LOT OF FACIAL HAIR REMOVERS AND WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS ONE. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE HONEY WHEN YOU USE IT, BUT YOU MUST REALLY HEAT THIS UP FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

Works Great!!!I applied this product on my fiancees chest. He works out and likes to have a smooth chest, instead of the hairy chest he normally has. This product worked wonderfully. Although there were a few hairs that it missed but if you slightly pulled on those hairs they came out easily because the wax had weakened the root. I have yet to try it on myself because I am waiting for more to be shipped, since I used all of the other.Dec 3, 2004Jaime / Columbus, OH

Moom Sugaring Hair Removal Introductory KitI followed your directions, which seemed straightforward enough & the product had no effect on the facial hair of my sweet friend. She is affected emotionally by her facial hair & we were hoping for something that would really do the job, but we got nothing. I followed your directions, which you described as simple- I even tried slight variations, such as the heating of the product & nothing came of it. I sent an earlier e-mail, which hasnt been answered yet. I would like my money back unless you can show where I did something wrong. Thank you.Nov 24, 2004Michael Bono / CA

Good For NewbiesThis product is wonderful! I loved the fact that it uses re-usable cloth strips. Also, I used this product for my first bikini wax. For it being my first time, it was not as painful as I expected. I would definately recommend this product to those who are trying home "waxing" for the first time.Sep 5, 2004Jamie

Great Stuff!!!!!This is wonderful stuff and I would recommend it to anyone.I have used it several times myself and on my mom and sister. It is also very easy to wip off with a hot washcloth no sticky residue like oil base ones.When properly warmed it will spread on very thin which uses less and does a better job of pulling out the hair rather then putting a ton on.It may cost more then some of the other brands, but it totally worth it.Mar 29, 2004Tonya Dickie / California

Water, or the lack thereof, continues to be a concern to Emery County as it moves into the hot summer months.
The teacup graph shows the amount of water available in the reservoirs. Millers Flat Reservoir contains 4,488 acre feet of water and is 85 percent full. Joe's Valley contains 59,895 acre feet of water and is 96 percent full. Millsite Reservoir is nearly full. Cleveland Reservoir contains 4,155 acre feet of water and is 78 percent full. Huntington North reservoir contains 1,814 acre feet of water and is 33 percent full.
