With every bit I read on that site, I'm more excited about the game. I've missed taking specific advantages or disadvantages since my Daggerfall days.
I just hope Mark doesn't molyneux us.
I am not sure where the perception of min maxing stats is not fun or welcome in MMOs, but I think it's always better to have that choice to have fun with a build. Also if the stats are redistributable then it's only a benefit to have min maxing stats.
I am already impressed by the ideas and focus of this game. And getting hit and having an affect on appearance has me intrigued.
Sounds great so far.

This won't be that game, you'll be disappointed if that is your expectation.
It will be interesting to hear more about the vision for this game, inspired by DAOC true, but not a sequel/remake at all from what we''ve learned so far.

By PAT JONESOrangeville City Council
Dear Editor,
As a member of the Orangeville City Council, I wanted to address the bombardment of negativism directed toward the city.
As an elected official for approximately 20 years, I have not seen the dissention and negativism as I have the last couple of years. We as elected officials make decisions based on the good of the whole community. Often individuals feel that those decisions are a direct attack on them personally. We know that we can never make those decisions where all concerned will be happy. That's just the nature of the beast. Many of those final decisions are a result of state or federal mandates. Those who think otherwise have not been involved in government enough to know. But this I do know that decisions we make are influenced by either the fact that is a mandated decision, or it is in the best interest of the community.
Occasionally, we find that because of different circumstances surrounding an ordinance or law, it can be taken out of its original intent and sometimes create a situation that's not conducive with the ordinance or within the scope of the intent. If and when that happens, we make every effort to change the ordinance and correct the problem. We have all experienced the uncomfortable situation of having to live within the boundaries of rules. Most of the time if we sit back and analyze the "whys" we will find ourselves in agreement.
Be it lack of trust, dislike for the elected officials, or a protest of law and order, we have had a few citizens in the town who try their best to make life miserable for themselves and the city officials and employees. I find it somewhat amusing that there is so much effort to thwart progress, that they often snip their own nose. (Case in point) The attack on the volunteer water schedule in town would only help those people who are attacking it the most. Some of their rebuttals are not given enough thought.
Orangeville is a great place to live, we have good people here. People that care about their neighbor and the welfare of others. We have a beautiful park, cemetery, streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and a modern state of the art water system and waste handling system. We have secondary water with no meters. We have streetlights in most parts of town. We have ordinances and laws to help us grow in an orderly manner and believe it or not, protect us from ourselves. We have a plan in place for the future to see that it continues that way. We sure wouldn't want to live in an environment without them. We have volunteer committees that serve faithfully for the good of others and the community. We have a great volunteer fire department that would be there if you had an emergency or fire, and they serve faithfully.
Orangeville is a great place to live.
Through the efforts of great people serving the community over the years since Orangeville's inception, and the love of the town, we have many things to be thankful for. My appreciation goes out to those who helped make Orangeville what it is. It has certainly been the effort of many. Sacrifice and willingness to serve are inherent in most people here.
Think positive, serve positive, work positive, and go forward. Negative effort will never accomplish anything. Positive thinking and effort will produce everything.

The Southeastern Utah District Health Department is responding to many inquiries about the West Nile Virus.
"The West Nile Virus is a hot topic right now because of the high number of cases and fatalities," reports Terrie C. Wright, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Southeastern Utah District Health Department.
During 2002 the West Nile Virus has been detected as far west as Wyoming and Colorado. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that from 1999 through 2001, there were 149 cases of West Nile Virus human illness in the United States, including 18 deaths. Since January of this year through Aug. 21, there have been 269 human cases confirmed and eight deaths in Louisiana, one death in Illinois, one death in Kentucky, one death in Texas and two deaths in Mississippi.
The West Nile Virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. It can infect people, horses, many types of birds, and some other animals. It is not transmitted from person to person, nor is there evidence that a person can get the virus from handling live or dead infected birds or horses.
Most people who become infected with West Nile Virus will have no symptoms. Some people develop mild symptoms that include fever, headache, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands. On rare occasions less than 1 percent of infected people will result in a severe and sometimes fatal illness know as West Nile encephalitis which is an inflammation of the brain.
You can reduce your chances of becoming ill from the West Nile Virus, and other mosquito transferred diseases, by protecting yourself from mosquito bites. The Southeastern Utah District Health Department recommends limiting the places available for mosquitoes to lay their eggs, eliminating standing water sources from around your home and by applying insect repellent when you are outdoors. Wearing long sleeves and long pants treated with repellent will further reduce your risk, as well as staying indoors during peak mosquito feeding hours which are dusk until dawn.
The United States Department of Agriculture has confirmed through the National Veterinary Services Laboratories that from Jan.1- Aug. 19 of this year there were 644 cases of West Nile virus reported in horses in 23 states. There is a vaccine for horses to help protect them from the West Nile Virus. This vaccine requires two shots three-six weeks apart. For more information about the vaccine contact your local veterinarian.
For additional information about the West Nile Virus, contact Terrie C. Wright at 435-637-3671 or 435-381-2252. Information can also be found on the CDC website at www.cdc.gov

charged exactly what they quoted
Great customer service and very happy with the end result. Very professional, well presented and friendly company, great communication throughout the day, work was done sooner than expected. Trusted the guy that picked my car up as soon as I met him. Was even more impressed when found out that they don't usually cater to my postcode area (Veterans Village Manchester M40) but were willing to be flexible. Will definitely be recommending B and G Autotechs and will definitely be doing business with them again. Thank you very much.
Service was great. Would reccomend
great job,highly recommended
Very helpful and great service. Would definitely use again
good and cheap service. Got MOT done for £27.5. I gave 4 star as I had to wait 2 and half hours.
Very pleased with the overall experience, excellent customer service and very well priced for a quality garage.
The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.
More than happy, very helpful
Did not diagnose the problem. Paid 72GBP just for checking error codes and erasing and topping up oil.
We are a family run business with over 25 years experience in the motor trade. Based in dukinfield - right next door to morrisons , we have 8 mechanics, and two MOT bays. We are diagnostic specialists with dealer level diagnostic equipment. We pride ourselves on our customer service and professionalism. We have 3 qualified air conditioning technicians and are experienced in diagnosing system faults as well as re-gassing. Our 4 wheel laser alignment system is the best system available and we carry out two and four wheel alignment.
Very friendly and efficient service. The diagnostics check that was ran highlighted the fault straight away. The quote for additional work was straightforward and impartial. I was shown exactly what was wrong and what could be deemed an issue in the future but was in no way pressured into any of the additional work needed. Great experience, would highly recommend.
Excellent, professional, friendly service. No hidden costs. Will definitely use their services again. Highly recommended. Nice cuppa also!

FGD: Life Without Iggy Begins
Ryan Pike
March 29 2013 03:33PM
The Calgary Flames are coming off a white-knuckled 4-3 win over the lowly Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night and they continue their trek to the trade deadline with a meeting tonight with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Game time is 7pm on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
The Flames (13-15-4) are recovering from a tumultuous 48 hours, one which saw their captain depart for Pennsylvania and the team pick up a big divisional win, part of their effort to try to salvage some positives from this up-and-down season. The Jackets (13-14-7) have been excellent lately, boasting a 5-2-3 record over their last ten games, but are fresh from a road loss last night in Edmonton. The Jackets have an awful, awful road record, while the Flames have won eight in a row on Saddledome ice.
Can the Flames start the post-Iginla era with a win and stretch out their impressive home winning streak? Can they continue to feast upon teams playing their second of back-to-back road games? Or will they struggle against the Jackets once again?
Forgotten in the last few days of craziness is the fact that the Flames have found ways to win at home. The team has won eight straight at the Dome, even when playing back-to-back games, or playing good teams, or starting their back-up goalie, or missing their franchise player (etc.).
I would expect Calgary to dress a similar line-up as in Wednesday's game, albeit with some minor tweaks. Here's how the lines finished off against Colorado:
- Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak
- Comeau-Cammalleri-Tanguay
- Cervenka-Backlund-Hudler
- McGrattan-Begin-Jackman
- Brodie-Bouwmeester
- Giordano-Wideman
- Butler-Sarich
- MacDonald
I would probably expect to see Miikka Kiprusoff in net, and perhaps Derek Smith to rotate back into the line-up on the blueline. Alex Tanguay didn't skate on Thursday and briefly left Wednesday's game before returning. My guess is he'll play.
With Iginla gone forever and ever (or until he returns), the Flames are down to 12 forwards, so I would expect them to summon a body from Abbotsford in the near futrure. The Heat play in Hamilton tonight and Toronto on Saturday, so if somebody's coming, they'll either come immediately or after the weekend.
Despite the fact that the Blue Jackets have historically been just awful, the Flames have nevertheless struggled against them. Last season the Calgary went 1-2-1 against the Jackets and they've split their pair of games this year, although Columbus has managed to get points in every single game over that span.
The upside for Calgary is that Columbus played last night in Edmonton – and lost by a score of 6-4. There's a chance that instead of facing goalie extraordinaire Sergei Bobrovsky, they may get back-up sieve extraordinaire Steve Mason.
Here's how the lines looked for the Jackets last night, when they scratched Nick Foligno due to injury and rolled with seven defensemen, including pariah Tim Erixon.
- Brassard-Letestu-Prospal
- Calvert-Anisimov-Atkinson
- Umberger-Johansen-Collins
- rotating-MacKenzie-Boll
- Wisniewski-Tyutin
- Nikitin-Prout
- Johnson-Aucoin
- Erixon
- Mason
I wouldn't expect Foligno back tonight, but maybe Colton Gillies or John Moore could jump in on the fourth line in lieu of Erixon. Then again, with Jarome Iginla gone forever (or until he returns), Flames fans could bond in their hatred of Erixon.
Columbus played last night and lost, while the Flames are 7-2-1 playing a team that played the night before. Better yet, the Flames rebounded from a one-sided game in Chicago by beating Colorado – albeit a Colorado team that's dreaming of Seth Jones right now.
The Jarome Iginla era is over. Whatever the next era will end up being, it begins tonight, rather inauspiciously, with a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Flames best case scenario is...
1. They finish last
2. Pens win the Cup
3. Pens win the lottery
March 29 2013, 09:30PM
Flames best case scenario is...
1. They finish last

I thought only the teams that missed the playoff were in the lottery?
Flames best case scenario is...
1. They finish last
2. Pens win the Cup
3. Pens win the lottery
I would settle for the first and third scenario. The Flames schedule is about to get much tougher and with a couple more trades, we should be right in the mix for last. Then, please see us draft in the top 3.
March 29 2013, 09:34PM
You are correct. Pens cannot win the lottery.
I thought all teams were eligible for the lottery in the new CBA?
March 29 2013, 09:40PM
I'm pretty sure ALL teams are eligible for the lottery this year.
March 29 2013, 09:41PM
Rough night for TJ Brodie so far.
March 29 2013, 09:41PM
But I'm not arguing Pike being wrong... So I'll take his word for it.
March 29 2013, 09:44PM
The NHL announced all 14 teams that miss the playoffs, or the teams that hold the rights to the top 14 picks, will be eligible to win the No. 1 draft pick when the lottery is held on April 29.
The 2013 NHL Draft Lottery, to be held this year on Monday, April 29, will be the first in NHL history where all 14 clubs not qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, or the clubs that have acquired the first-round drafting positions of those non-playoff clubs, will have a chance at winning the right to the first overall selection. Under the previous lottery system, only the five teams with the fewest points in the standings had the opportunity to win the first overall selection as rules dictated no team could move up more than four spots.
The odds don't change
March 29 2013, 09:49PM
Nightmare evening for Brodie.
March 29 2013, 09:51PM
Man I love Scoreface. I hope he is the captain next year.... If they don't trade him.
March 29 2013, 09:52PM
Nightmare evening for Brodie.
Yup, he's had a tough night. Worst I've seen from him this year.
March 29 2013, 09:53PM
Man I love Scoreface. I hope he is the captain next year.... If they don't trade him.
There are really only two options. Him or Giordano. Seriously doubt he's traded. I'd be more shocked if he were moved than anyone else because of the ranch.
March 29 2013, 09:59PM
@Double Dion
I don't see him moving either.. but who knows with this team.
Maybe KK takes him for another horse ride?
March 29 2013, 10:01PM
I'm depressed.
March 29 2013, 10:03PM
Flames had a terrible time managing the puck in the neutral zone tonight. Again, the netminding was meh, but jesus stop giving the puck to the other team while your guys are moving the wrong direction.
On the positive side, one step closer to a lottery pick.
March 29 2013, 10:04PM
@Vintage Flame
We really should have KK take all the kids for pony rides. If they'll sign half of market contracts afterwards I don't care how sore his groin region is from all the saddle bouncing.
March 29 2013, 10:05PM
@Kent Wilson
What were final chances?
March 29 2013, 10:05PM
@Kent Wilson
Yup, some terrible turnovers tonight. It would be nice if Kipper would mix in a save or two though. I just really want one of the top 4 guys. Barkov preferably.
I miss Iggy... :(
March 29 2013, 10:09PM

Saw on twitter tonight that Barkov is hurt and out for the rest of the season.
You still want him?
March 29 2013, 10:10PM
I don't really miss him at all. He was here in spirit tonight with the turnovers and inability to get the puck out the wall.
If we land Petan with the Pens pick and he grows 2 inches, I really won't miss him.
March 29 2013, 10:10PM
@Vintage Flame
20-16 Flames overall thanks to a 6-3 third period. They were chasing the whole time tho.
March 29 2013, 10:11PM
@Vintage Flame
Didn't know that. Honestly, I'd be happy with any of the top 4 guys. How serious was the injury? There isn't much left of the season over there.
March 29 2013, 10:26PM
@Double Dion
Not sure what the injury is, all I know is that he is out for the season.
I'll see if I can find something out after I finish the post-game article
March 29 2013, 10:27PM
Cheer on Brossoit! Three minutes left in the first to close out the series.
March 29 2013, 10:29PM

Shoulder, he should still go top six though no?
I'd love to believe jaybo has some value but after tnite I'm nit sure. Who's stupid enough to take on that contract?! Oilers?
March 29 2013, 10:38PM
I'd love to believe jaybo has some value but after tnite I'm nit sure. Who's stupid enough to take on that contract?! Oilers?
JayBo is a very good defenceman on a bad team. And besides he only has one year left on his contract.
Looking at the market and comparables I'm sure he'll sign his next contract between 5-6.5 mil a season.
March 29 2013, 10:51PM
I can taste that Top 3 pick...and it tastes like a succulent Easter Ham...good job tonight boys, keep it up!
I'd love to believe jaybo has some value but after tnite I'm nit sure. Who's stupid enough to take on that contract?! Oilers?
Your,re a Oilers fan or Oiler,s management?
March 29 2013, 11:23PM
Post game is up
What part of "Moment of Silence" do people not understand?
The part where they said it was a 'great leader'. Respect for the dead but talk about polishing a turd.
It is looking good and most likely a top 5 pick is quite possible.
After tonight there will be many more tough nights ahead for the Flames. Before I can make a decision on whether or not this team is heading in the right direction I am going to reserve my judgement until the draft.
With Bouwmeester hopefully on the move I hope the Flames can aquire more picks and prospects in this deep draft. There are players in this draft who can kick start the rebuilding or retooling.
While I don't like the team losing, this type of season has been long overdue. Finally the ownership and management has come to the realization that this team is no longer good enough to compete and that the majority of the players on this team will never move this team towards a playoff birth.
March 30 2013, 02:05AM
I understand that it would be profitable to pick high but to hear fans relishing losses leaves me feeling slightly disgusted.
You do realise you aren't Oilers fans right?

Outstanding Image Quality With Precision Picture Processing (P3) Technology
High definition signals place new demands on TV video processing circuits to enable display of high definition images. P3 technology improves the picture in three ways:
- Improved signal-to-noise ratio thanks to a new 3D algorithm, double pixel processing and MPEG noise reduction that reduces block noise.
- Improved sharpness without the halo effect with new 2-dimensional edge correction circuitry.
- Improved contrast at high picture levels because of a new gradation compensation circuit, which enhances the dynamic range of the picture tube.
Enjoy Everything That DVDs and HDTV Have to Offer
This TV is compatible with both 1080i and 480p signals. Connect an HDTV tuner or cable box and experience high definition broadcasts with amazing color and detail1. DVDs will look incredible when played back from a progressive scan DVD player at 480p.
A Single Cable Carries High-Quality Digital Audio and Video
If you have even a moderately complicated home theater setup, you probably have a pile of tangled cables on the floor behind it. Imagine replacing all those cables with a single cable that carries both digital video and audio at the same time. With the new HDMI standard, that's exactly what you get. The HDMI connector on this TV accepts high-quality digital video and audio via the same thin cable, allowing you to run one cable from the source to the TV.
Progressive Scanning for Smooth, Rock Solid Images
Traditional analog TVs display video in an interlaced format that splits each film frame into two separate fields, resulting in visible scan lines and other image artifacts. A progressive scan display shows each film frame as one solid frame, helping to create a stable, solid image free of interlaced artifacts.
Keep Your Kids From Viewing Inappropriate Content
With the help of V-Chip technology, parents can use television ratings codes to black programs that they feel are inappropriate for their children to view. The V-chip can be turned on and off through the on-screen menu using a four-digit, user-programmed code. Once you choose an appropriate ratings level, the V-chip reads the ratings code transmitted with each program and automatically denies access to any programming that exceeds your rating.
Quickly Browse Through Your Favorite Channels
The favorite channel scan feature stores up to 16 of your most frequently watched channels, allowing quick and easy scanning of preferred channels.
Select the Image Settings That Are Best For Each Input
Different sources can sometimes look different depending on broadcast quality and the connection used. The video picture memory feature lets you select from three different default picture settingsStandard, Cinema, or Vividand save the best setting for each input individually.
Control Many Different Components With One Remote
Fumbling through a pile of remotes in the dark is a pain. Clean up the mess and take control of your system with the included universal remote control, which can command many different brands and types of components after some simple programming. It even lights up so you can see the buttons in the dark.

Mark Jankowski Goes to College
July 31 2012 09:23AM
In a move that's only surprising in how long it took, Flames first round pick Mark Jankowski has announced he'll be attending Providence College right away instead of joining the Dubuque Fighting Saints for a year.
From Vicki Hall's article in the Calgary Herald:
"I think this is the right way for me to go," Jankowski said Monday afternoon from his off-season home in Hamilton, Ont. "I believe I'm ready for the jump"
While it seems like this was mostly Jankowski's choice, it's hard to imagine the Flames are particularly upset by it. Any first round choice should be good enough to be playing competition harder than that of the USHL. When given how good he looked at development camp against older players with more experience, the NCAA level seems much more appropriate. He'll also probably the most skilled player on the Friars, which means prime ice time and power play experience.
The Providence Friars might be a far cry from Johnny Gaudreau's and Bill Arnold's Boston College Eagles, but that's not to say he's still basically playing in the USHL. Despite a low quality of teammates (only two players on the Friars last year have been drafted) he'll be playing against top competition in one of the best NCAA hockey conferences- Hockey East. This means games against Boston College, Boston University, UNH, Northeastern, and the University of Vermont— among others.
In addition to giving Jankowski a better setting for development, this move will give the organization and the fans a better context in which to judge him- especially with two other prospects in the exact same conference.
Only time will tell with Mark Jankowski, but this move to the NCAA instead of the USHL gives hope that he might not have been as much of a reach as most fans initially assumed.
August 01 2012, 04:56PM

"When evaluating the Jankowski selection it should be viewed for the transaction itself (Janko+Sielof for Girgensons)', and not include 'to replace pick lost for Kotalik'"
This makes a lot of sense on one hand, but not so much on the other. This was a trade of picks, not players. Who knows who Buffalo would've taken in the 2nd round and which player Calgary might have possibly lost out on by trading down?
In other words, Calgary didn't necessarily pass on Girgensons (though because that's who Buffalo took there it will bear watching), but rather the 7 players (Girgensons being one of them) taken from the 14th to 20th spots.
If Teravainen turns into a superstar, for example, Calgary will be criticized for not taking Teravainen, not for not taking Giregensons.
Not saying that's what will happen, just the way the trade should be viewed.
Actually you ate missing the point I was trying to make, not that it is Janko+2nd vs Janko+Sielof, but rather the whole 'Feaster only made the trade to get a 2nd rnd pick to make up for the trading away of a 2nd in the Kotalik deal'.
Feaster gained a 2nd rnd pick (Sielof) in the Janko swap of picks. Downgrading that acquisition by sneering about the Kotalik deal is what I object to.
does anyone think it's possible Jankowski has an outside shot at the world junior squad? I know Canada's generally pretty deep at center, but that should probably be a short-term goal for Mark anyway.
does anyone think it's possible Jankowski has an outside shot at the world junior squad? I know Canada's generally pretty deep at center, but that should probably be a short-term goal for Mark anyway.
It probably is a goal of his, but to be honest I'd be absolutely shocked if he made it. He's young, inexperienced, and lanky. When you consider that the U-20 team (Prendergast again, ugh) tends to lean towards larger players closer to 19 for those positions, and has a general predisposition to select from the CHL, I think its a long shot.
He ought to get an invite, and if he does I suspect the fine folks at FN will try to bribe someone to get some eyes on him at the camp and file a report.
However, when you look at previous players that were left off, Seguin and Nugent-Hopkins to name two, I wouldn't count on his making it. If he does, all the more power to him, and it would certainly be a make-or-break moment for many analysts.
I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned it sooner, but is it just me or does he look like he is flashing gang signs in that photo? (yeah, I know, he's taping up a stick).
Maybe Jankowski needs a nickname to give him some FlamesNation street cred? I hear "Snoop Dogg" has been recently made available?
@BurningSensation - ok, gotcha:)

Countdown to Father's Day: Top TV Dads
As we countdown to Father's Day (06/21) – here's our continuing look at some of TV's favorite fathers: From the 1950s cardigan-wearing, "Father Knows Best" types to the 21st century guys juggling dysfunctional families and questionable careers.
TV's Top Dads (in chronological order)
Homer Simpson (1990's/2000's)
As a less-than-perfect dad, Homer Simpson has cornered the market on underachieving. As The Simpsons's (1989-present) animated patriarch, Homer personifies bumbling ineptitude in everything he does – from his botched attempts at raising his three kids to his rather ironic job as safety inspector at the local nuclear plant. The longest run show on TV, with characters that have never aged, The Simpsons offers America a satirical, politically incorrect family and one of the most enduring iconic cultural references.
Check back each day for another TV dad (or you can cheat and check out all our TV dads here).

Getting Started: Essential Gadgets for the Home Bar
Even though you may not be bartending all the time, having the right tools for mixing and serving drinks can help make all your parties a hit.
Essential hardware
Properly measuring the ingredients for your cocktails ensures a balanced taste. Most jiggers (or measuring glasses) have a half ounce measure on one side and a two ounce measure on the other.
The Boston shaker (with pint glass) is the shaker of choice for professional bartenders. A standard cocktail shaker works just as well for your home bar, plus, it looks stylish.
Hawthorne Strainer
You'll typically use a Hawthorne strainer with a Boston shaker. It keeps ice in the shaker while allowing fruit pulp to pass through.
Cutting Board and Knife
Prepare garnishes before you start serving, but keep a small cutting board and knife handy if you start to run out.
Bar Spoon
For layering or stirring. It's also handy for pulling cherries and olives from jars.
For mashing fruit or mint leaves into the bottom of a glass.
If you plan on serving wine - a winged corkscrew makes opening bottles a breeze.
Ice Bucket
Bartending requires mountains of ice, no matter how small the party. The right bucket keeps ice from melting and is especially handy if you're bartending outside.
Not-so essential hardware
If you already have a blender, make sure it's able to crush ice.
Bottle Stoppers
Especially useful for maintaining the bouquet in wine.
Julep Strainer
A smaller strainer that's handy if you're straining into narrower glasses.
Try chilling your glassware in the freezer, or by filling with ice cubes, before use. Always hold glassware by the base or stem to avoid leaving finger marks.
Essential glassware
Martini Glass
Also known as a cocktail glass, its chic neck lets your guests hold the glass without warming the drink.
Old Fashioned Glass or Rocks Glass
A short glass with a heavy base for drinks served on ice. It's the quintessential tumbler for enjoying whisky.
Highball Glass
Similar to a rocks glass, but taller. It's typically used for drinks that have larger amounts of mixer, such as a Scotch & Soda. A highball glass is also known as a collins glass.
Wine Glass
Grasping the long stem keeps chilled wines from getting warm. The bowl shape of the glass converges the wine's aromas or the "bouquet." Red wine glasses typically have a larger bowl than white wine glasses.
Not-so essential glassware
Champagne Flute
The narrow shape helps retain champagne's carbonation.
Usually used for serving brandy, the bulbous shape helps hold aroma.
Margarita Glass
The best way to serve Margaritas or other frozen drinks. The wide rim is perfect for salting.
Pint Glass
Improves beer's drinkability and is useful for serving low-alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. A must-have if you're using a Boston shaker.
Shot Glass
Thick-walled glass for serving shots or spirits.
Discount stores will carry most of these essentials

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
At the annual meeting of the Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company on Jan. 20, Craig Johansen in his Presidents Annual Report to the CCCIC included several interesting items that could affect the amount of available water for this coming year and other subsequent years.
He confirmed that the snow level in the mountains was below 50 percent and that Emery County was one of the driest counties in the state. Most if not all the last snowstorm went to the valleys and not on the mountains. We may be in for another very dry year unless we get about 120 percent more snow than usual for the remainder of the year.
Johansen reported on the progress of the Adobe Wash Project. This project will include a dam that will hold 900 acre feet of water in preparation for a pressurized irrigation system if approved by the various government agencies and if the CCCIC membership approve spending the millions of dollars this project will cost. Preliminary steps have been taken by making requests for approval of this project.
An analysis of the membership shows that more than half of the shareholders own fewer that six shares of CCCIC water. The company has a problem with the quantity of shareholders growing, by families giving shares to their children and grandchildren. This increases the cost of administration. In addition, if the shareholder does not use the water for irrigation or lease it to someone else that will use the shares of water, those shares of water can become forfeit.
Johansen reported on two Senate Bills currently before the State Legislature that would affect water users throughout the state if enacted. They are Senate Bill 95, "The In Stream Flow Requirement" for water companies to provide enough water in the stream for dilution of sewage going downstream, without regards to the water needs of cities and agriculture. This bill is sponsored by Mike Dmitrich of Price.
Senate Bill 29, the Trout Unlimited Fishing water requirement for water companies to provide enough water for trout fishing habitat. This would allow a non government group to lease water for 10 years to provide habitat for fish.
If you are concerned about these legislative proposals contact Brad King, Mike Dmitrich of Price or Kay McIiff of Richfield your representatives in the State Legislature.
These two Senate bills could reduce the amount of water available in dry years for municipalities and agriculture users.
The Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company is concerned about preserving the water rights of the irrigation company.

How do you know when a cut is just a cut and when you need to get a tetanus shot?
So many health issues lately. Take care of yourself!ReplyCancel
I have a better question—-what does everyone think of the Molly epidemic? My friends sister nearly OD'd this weekend on it and she never used drugs before that. Why do people like EDM shows? They are very boring unless you are on drugs IMO…should they be banned?ReplyCancel
Molly is getting more and more popular, especially among the 15-25 demographic. The main concerns are the purity/content of the drug, poly drug interactions and dehydration. I hate playing Mom with my students, but I always nag them to test their pills if they roll at EDM shows. All the kids these days go to EDC and the like, and pill testing lots are becoming the new needle exchangesReplyCancel
@Lady—it is just awful—I tried it once—awful experience–didn't get sick but tripped out big time and heard voices etc the next day—NEVER again—I don't know anyone whos had a rad experience doing itReplyCancel
I am 30 and I did it 4 years ago–and yeah I felt too old doing it lolReplyCancel
Yikes Derek- that is awful! Sadsies for you and your friend. Wish I could say that I don't know anyone who likes it lol. It's huge here in the drug capital of the world! On UC and CSU campuses, it's second in popularity only behind marijuana. A lot of them were buying it online through Silk Road etc tooReplyCancel
thanks @LadyH—I survived–no hospital or anything but I know a couple who had to go. Horrible. I suspect we are going to have many brain dead youths walking around in a few years—-god knows long-term effects of this shitReplyCancel
We can study at University all you want but when your brain is fried in is not much good!ReplyCancel
*you can—
I blame molly for all my typos!
We had a city councillor here in toronto spouting off about 2 drug related deaths at an edm fest- this isn't anything new, they used to do E at raves and warehouse parties back in the day.
It's never been my thing but if kids are going to do it they should be on the lookout for each other abs hydrate like no ones business.
@Bitters—yup I live in Toronto–but my friend got sick at LollapoolozaReplyCancel
Shrooms and LSD are good enough for me, when I feel the need for a challenge.
About the blind, liberal use of peroxide. I haven't had a tetanus shot in 15+ yrs and get cut all the time at work. As long as yer not piercing yerself w/ rusty nails, you'll be OK.ReplyCancel
What kind of a wasteland is the US? Here you get vaccinated as a kid and never again unless you cut yourself inside a septic tank or something like that, or your skin changes its colour. That's because our enviroment is sorta clean.ReplyCancel
Rust is what gives you tetanus. Not just cutting.ReplyCancel
@Bitters—she was in Chicago when in happenedReplyCancel
Stepped in a rusty nail attached to board in empty lot as a kid. It went thru my shoe into sole of foot. I stood there screaming, with board dangling off my foot. My friends sister ran over, looked at me, looked at my foot, and yanked it out. If she hadnt, i might atill be there! Lol. Anyway i had to have tetnus shot and since i was 8 i screamed like a banshee. Anyhoo, all of this leads to me thinking u need tetnus shot when rusty metal is involved.ReplyCancel
@Sugar: HEAVENS TO BETSY! You better go to the Dr and get one of them Tetanu/Cholera/Full Blown AIDS shots. Be careful you don't catch the Autism from it though.ReplyCancel
@bella: that's becoming common too, but not nearly as prevalent as dehydration. Be careful peeps!
A lot of the ravers are starting to call Molly "Suicide Tuesday" because of the lows that follow a weekend of dancing with light sticks in your underwear in the desert. It seriously fucks up your serotonin levels and can cause serious neurological problems.
Derek: I've seen a few severe neurological problems emerge in youths that used Molly. Seen a couple from shrooms, but those guys used it way too excessively. The worst brain damage I've seen from drug use was among the huffers actually.ReplyCancel
You can actually get tetanus from the soil. So gardeners, get the shot regardless.ReplyCancel
@LadyH: What kinda stuff they huffing? I always heard freon was really bad, nitrous not so much.
That "walking on sunshine" broad huffing the CO2, I just wanna kick in the head. WTF does CO2 do for ya?ReplyCancel

Skip to comments.Obama's On-the-Wall Endorsement ["Obey Obama"]
Posted on 05/20/2008 4:04:12 PM PDT by Dajjal
All political art is propaganda (that is the point), but most political posters are bland, forgettable, wallpaper.... [Shepard Fairey] wanted to make posters that the cool cats would want. The 2008 Democratic primary season equivalent of the Che poster (with all that implies). More Mao, more right now.... The kind of poster that might sell on eBay, as a signed Fairey Obama recently did, for $5,900....
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Yeah, sure! So here's another Amerikkka-hating, fund-raising "friend of Obama."
Shepard Fairey is the artist who designed the official fund-raising set of Obama : Hope / Change / Progress posters, like this one:
Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints
Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."
If Obama does win in November, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy becomes his administration's "Artist Laureate." Can you imagine him as the Artistic Director for the Inauguration ceremonies?
The Art of Politics ["Obey Obama"]
Shepard Fairey: Obey Obama [Obama's official poster-maker loves Stalin, Mao, etc.]
Obama's Posters: Message in the Image
A Style of Obama Poster Not Likely To Be Widely Imitated
A striaght up marxist artist and a straight up marxist politician. It's obvious why the obamanation loves it.
What's his name again? shepherd who?
(Barf alert)
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:
Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
Suited to the pages of Pravda, this guy may be working in the White House. Never thought I'd see the day.
We often refer to him as "TTNO" (The Tragically Named One)
Fairey stole two concepts from the movie THEY LIVE. Both of them are subliminal messages, one is OBEY, the other is THIS IS YOUR GOD.
And that is the Obama campaign in a nutshell. They hired this red dupe to give them a campaign that could be wheatpasted in public places overnight (even in Obama's personal letter to Shepherd, he mentioned the power of seeing one of Fairey's stickers on a stop sign).
Barack Obama: A Champion for Arts and Culture
A Platform In Support of the Arts
Create an Artist Corps: Barack Obama supports the creation of an "Artist Corps" of young artists trained to work in low-income schools and their communities. Studies in Chicago have demonstrated that test scores improved faster for students enrolled in low-income schools that link arts across the curriculum than scores for students in schools lacking such programs.
I assume this government funded "Artist Corps" Obama is going to create will be the ones drawing the pictures of the Glorious People's Tractor plowing the land ....
Hope, Dope, Grope, and Other Obamunist Posters
by Commissar Maksim
Obey Plagiarist Shepard Fairey
by Mark Vallen
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics.
In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderAnd this post (<-click) exposes how corrupt justices then began using FDR's politically correct license to ignore the 10th A. to unlawfully stifle traditional family values, including the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.
In fact, consider that the states have the constitutional power (10th A.) to authorize public schools to lead non-mandatory (14th A.) classroom discussions on the pros and cons of evolution, creationism and ID, as examples, regardless that atheists, separatists, pagan-minded judges and the MSM are misleading the people to think that doing such things in public schools is unconstitutional.
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problems that, since the days of FDR's dirty politics, Congress has not only not been operating with the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned, but the USSC has wrongly been ignoring the 10th A. protected power of the states to address religious issues.
The bottom line is that the people need to get in the faces of judges, demanding that judges uphold their oaths to defend the 10th A. protected powers of the states to address religious issues - or get off the bench. The people also need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of members of Congress, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.
Lincoln put it this way.
"We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." --Abraham Lincoln, Political debates between Lincoln and Douglas, 1858.
I stopped reading right there, more than I needed to know.
I should have done this earlier, but I must give a tip of the Hatlo hat to my brother, who first alerted me to this character, and did all the legwork in finding the guy's history and artworks.
Poor pacman. So disgraced.
Thanks for the ping, post (and your brother). GRRRREAT (and humorous) thread. BTTT!
Ah - Thanks potlatch
A great graphic & post!
Thank you devolve. Lots of work making Michelle and her hand motions. She looks almost real to me.
Too real!
It's terrific!
Next version with "The Snarl"!
Well, if you saw that face blown up bigger it looked pretty bad, lol. Slack jawed and only one or two white teeth showing.
When I reduced size it isn't as obvious.
You should see me cutting out umpteen hands and arms so I can arrange them!
Nobody does it better then you potlatch -
I have no "manipulation tricks" to do that!
[I have no manipulation tricks to do that!]
And a good thing too!! Or you'd be beating me all to heck, lol.
I need a better 'cutting out' program and probably haven't really discovered it in what I already have. Always the white outline and so hard when it's a lot of frames.
I know many tricks but still get that 'edging'.
Obama: A Progressive for Progress! Now with Liberal Substance!
Obamaganda: Change and Obey. Your Choice?
In the weeks before Super Tuesday 2008, "I put out the word I wanted to do something for Obama," explains Fairey, through Yosi Sergant, a plugged-in "early adopter" publicist in Los Angeles who knew prominent Democrats in the Obama circle. "I didn't want to be an unwelcome distraction," Fairey explains. "I've been arrested," he says, referring to his graffiti work in public places. "I really want him to win, so I didn't want to do anything that would cause him problems." The Obama people, somewhat to his surprise, said go ahead. Who said, exactly? "You can assume this came from the highest levels," Fairey says.
So both Fairey and the Obama camp are fully aware that he could become "an unwelcome distraction" -- that is, a scandal. Probably not at the Wright or Rezco level, but more on a par with Pfleger, IMHO.

The Recording Academy recently sat down with 14-time GRAMMY winner and Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Tony Bennett and his son/manager Danny Bennett for the inaugural installment of GRAMMY Industry Insider, an interview series with artists and industry professionals detailing the creative and business process behind their latest projects. Tony Bennett discussed his current GRAMMY-nominated album, Duets II, and how he met Lady Gaga, among other topics, while Danny Bennett discussed topics such as bringing various artists together to record Duets II and what it's like working as his father's manager.
"Everybody that hears [it] just loves the whole album," said Bennett of Duets II. "It's humorous because a lot of people in the business are saying they don't think it will ever happen again — that someone 85 years old [could reach] No. 1 on the Billboard charts."
"Our main intention was to create something that continued the tradition of excellence and integrity that Tony has come to represent," added Danny Bennett.
Duets II is the follow-up album to 2006's Duets: An American Classic, which featured Bennett teaming with artists such as U2's Bono, Celine Dion, Elton John, k.d. lang, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, and Stevie Wonder, among others. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and earned Bennett two GRAMMY Awards in 2006, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for "For Once In My Life" with Wonder and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Artists featured on Duets II include Andrea Bocelli, Natalie Cole, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Queen Latifah, Carrie Underwood, and Winehouse, among others. In September Duets II debuted atop the Billboard 200, making Bennett the oldest living artist to top the chart.
Bennett's first GRAMMY win came in 1962 for Record Of The Year for "I Left My Heart In San Francisco." Should Bennett earn a GRAMMY at the 54th GRAMMY Awards in February, he will hold the longest span of GRAMMY wins in the history of the awards.
Serving as his father's manager for nearly 30 years, Danny Bennett has executive produced several of Tony Bennett's albums, including Duets: An American Classic and Duets II, among others. He earned a GRAMMY nomination in 1998 for Best Musical Album For Children for producing Tony Bennett's The Playground.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney was a reluctant presidential candidate in 2012 -- at least at first.
In a soon-to-be-released book by Dan Balz of The Washington Post, Romney was one of 10 members of his family who voted against making a second White House bid. USA TODAY received a copy of Collision 2012: Obama vs. Romney and The Future of Elections in America in the mail from the publisher.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor who became his party's unsuccessful 2012 presidential nominee, ultimately decided to challenge President Obama. He said in the book that he believed the rest of the Republican field couldn't beat the Democratic incumbent and lacked the "experience and perspective to lead the country."
"I knew how grueling the process was and I felt that there may be others who could be more effective in actually winning and then getting America on course," Romney said in Collision 2012, which goes on sale Aug. 6. "I got into this out of a sense of obligation to the things I believed in and love for the country, but not because it was something I desperately wanted so that I could feel better about myself."
In the 2008 presidential race, Romney had been unable to appeal to a wide group of GOP primary voters. After losing several early primary contests to Arizona Sen. John McCain, the eventual nominee, Romney withdrew on Feb. 7, 2008 during a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference.
As the book by Balz describes, Romney and his family were vacationing in Hawaii during the 2010 Christmas holidays when they were tossing around the idea of him running again. A vote among 12 Romney family members was taken: Only Ann Romney, his wife, and Tagg Romney, the eldest son, voted "yes" on another presidential bid. Mitt Romney was among the 10 who voted "no."
Tagg Romney, a close adviser to his father, explained a loss of privacy was "an underlying reason" for not seeking the presidency again, but not the "driving reason." There were many concerns about a brutal campaign against a well-funded Obama.
Mitt Romney's reluctance about a race lingered for months after the family vote in Hawaii, Tagg Romney explained.
"Even up until the day before he made the announcement, he was looking for excuses to get out of it," Tagg Romney is quoted as saying in Collision 2012. "If there had been someone who he thought would have made a better president than he, he would gladly have stepped aside."
Romney said in the book that he believed former Florida governor Jeb Bush "might well be able to do what was necessary to get the country on track." Bush, the son and brother of two presidents, ultimately decided against a 2012 presidential and endorsed Romney. Bush is considering a 2016 race.
Collision 2012 is published by Viking.

Go Red: Local Doctor Becomes The Patient
On the 5th day of every month News 5 "goes red". It's part of a campaign to raise awareness about women's heart disease with Wellmont Health System.
Dr. Lenita Thibault is a local doctor whose risk factors were enough to make her become the patient.
Dr. Lenita Thibault said "I felt I was really tempting fate."
She says she got a wake-up call about a year ago when a medical problem put her under the knife.
"Everything worked out being okay, but if it had not been it would have been largely related to my weight. I told people it's sort of like I got a slap that I needed to start taking care of myself."
A practicing physician, Thibault knew she had risk factors for a heart disaster.
"I have battled weight my whole life, I've also had problems with blood pressure and high cholesterol."
And her genes don't help her out, either.
"I have a very horrible family history. My father died of a heart attack at age 51. My brothers died of heart attacks, one at age 46, and one at age 42."
Nurse practitioners told me these are warning signs everyone should be aware of.
Robin Harris, a nurse, said "it is important to know if you are at high risk for cardiovascular disease, which by the way, is the number one killer in the United States."
There are some risks you can't change, like age, gender, and family history. But others like weight, blood pressure, and diabetes you can. Smoking is also a major risk for heart disease.
Robin Harris said "not everyone that has risk factors has any symptoms. So, it is important to know those risk factors."
Know them and take action.
Dr. Lenita Thibault said "I love being a doctor, but I hate going to them. I wanted to, I was good at ignoring things. But I realized, I needed help."
After months of diet and exercise she's lost 130 pounds and is on her way to a healthier heart.
"Don't wait until it's too late. Take control."
We learned Dr. Thibault is a chorus member with the Symphony of the Mountains. They're putting on a special "Go Red" concert for women's heart health on December 3rd at 3:00 at the Eastman Employee Center Auditorium.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — They've studied in countries from Ghana to China, speak languages from Zulu to Mandarin, and count everything from West African drumming to firefighting among their talents.
The 32 Rhodes Scholars announced Sunday represent a diverse cross-section of U.S. students, hailing from New England to the Deep South, from elite Ivy League universities to small liberal arts colleges. However, the scholars, who will study at Oxford University in England beginning next October, are selected based on a core set of criteria: academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor.
Recipients reached by the Associated Press all described similar reactions: They were excited, humbled and at times in disbelief.
"I keep sort of checking my phone to see if this actually happened," said David Carel, a Yale University senior and one of seven recipients from the school. "It's so hard to believe I just sort of assume I dreamed the whole thing."
Carel said he hopes to use his scholarship to study how health, education and economics intersect.
A trip to explore the South African roots of his family led to work in the KwaZulu-Natal region of western South Africa, where he joined Peace Corps volunteers and later a nonprofit working with at-risk youths who aren't in school and don't have jobs, trying to prevent widespread alcoholism, depression and other problems.
He is fluent in both Zulu and Hebrew, is a lead drummer in a West African dance troupe and teaches a form of Israeli dance.
Rhiana Gunn-Wright's ambitions stem from her childhood in the impoverished Englewood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.
"I've seen the way that poverty robs people of their opportunity to explore their capabilities," she said. The Yale graduate currently researches poverty's effects on people's access to a college education and hopes to one day help reform social welfare policy.
Christian Heller, a 21-year-old United States Naval Academy student, has a deep interest in Middle Eastern affairs and the effects of the oil industry. But his interest grew when he started seeing the connections between how the industry developed overseas and how the energy sector is developing in his home state of North Dakota, which is experiencing massive growth amid the oil boom there.
"That's pretty much where I'm from and it was having a big impact on the people I know," said Heller, who grew up about an hour southeast of the heart of the boom.
Others also described deeply personal reasons for their studies. Chris Dobyns of Highland, Md., said his grandfather — a Methodist minister — would preach at different churches, including an African-American church every Ash Wednesday. That exposed him to a variety of cultures during his upbringing in suburban Washington, D.C., and ultimately inspired him to pursue African studies at Cornell University.
"There are a lot of people who promoted that in my life, but it really started and ended, I think, with my faith," said Dobyns, who also was a volunteer firefighter at Cornell.
For Rachel Myrick, a University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill student, a trip with a nonprofit to Cambodia inspired her interest in studying the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict.
"I learned a lot about genocide reconstruction," she said. "It's been an intellectual and personal interest."
Rhodes Scholarships were created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes and have a value of about $50,000 per year.
The American students will join an international group of scholars selected from 14 other jurisdictions around the world. About 80 scholars are selected each year.

"Healthy Dixie has now assumed the sponsoring role of this popular hiking series initiated by Intermountain Healthcare last year during their CareCentennial celebration," said Heidi Lemke, the representative from Healthy Dixie who is coordinating the 2014 walks. "Walk Washington County is a great way for you to get your exercise, enjoy beautiful southern Utah, meet local mayors and learn area history. We are excited to hear Mayor Darrin LeFevre share Toquerville's history with us on Saturday as he leads the walk."
Attendees should dress for walking, bring any gear needed and water to the starting point at Toquerville City Park, 250 W. Center. "From State Route 17 you'll want to turn west on Center Street and follow it till it ends," said Mayor LeFevre. "There is no charge to join in the fun, and we encourage everyone to come out for a great time in our beautiful town."
In 2013 Walk Washington County averaged between 400-500 attendees at each walk. At the complete of each event walkers received a medallion commemorating the city walked. As the November Toquerville walk was canceled because of inclement weather that city's medallions will be available on Saturday. While supplies last, a wooden walking stick will also be available to each walker over the age of 12 attending who did not obtain a stick last year.

In the past we saw all sorts of iPhone cases, and today we have the first edible iPhone case, so let's have closer look at this treat.
Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case is a unique case, made from senbei, and in case you don't know, senbei is Japanese snack, or a rice cracker to be precise. This case is made from Japanese brown rice and salt, and it's baked into a crispy senbei rice cracker that fits around iPhone 5. This case might protect your iPhone from scratches and dust, but you better think twice before eating it. Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case is a unique case, however, there might be more durable and better iPhone 5 cases on the market.
Survival Senbei iPhone 5 Case probably won't be available for sale outside of Japan, but if you want to get your hands on it, it's available for $48 after conversion, but you can probably get more durable case for your money.

More people visiting Abingdon
ABINGDON, Va. - The Virginia Creeper Trail parking lot was full Sunday, as locals and tourists tried to get outside to enjoy the fall weather.
"You get a day like this, you don't miss it," said Roy Griffith, a Bristol resident.
Griffith likes to take his grandchildren out on the trail, he said, but when the leaves start changing, he has other company too.
"People from North Carolina, Georgia, some other people," Griffith told us. "Get something to drink, and meet them and eat with them, where they from?, and they absolutely love this region."
"We love it," said Louise Cape and Robin McKinney, from North Carolina.
Cape and McKinney visit Abingdon for a knitting camp a couple times year, this was their fifth trip.
"We wanted to go on the Creeper Trail," they said. "We'd never been on the Creeper Trail before but we heard a lot of fun things about it so we did that today. We did it yesterday too."
Bed and breakfast owner Joan Shaver told us the Creeper Trail is one of the main reasons she's so busy this fall.
"This particular time of year I'm pretty sure it's the Creeper Trail and the leaves turning," Shaver said. "People are trying to get that peak color."
Shaver tells us business was slow at the beginning of the year but now it is turning around.
"The last month it started to pick up," she said. "I think I've had a lot more calls in the past few weeks. I've had more people during the week than I normally get."
Shaver tells us nice weather also helps because people enjoy coming to Abingdon when they can get outdoors.
Shaver said her bed and breakfast was completely full this weekend, even overflowing into her extra apartment.
Governor Bob McDonnall has released a statement saying tourism throughout the Commonwealth was up four percent in 2012, compared to the year before.
That is the most recent tourism data.

Greendale - Southridge Mall has completed the most extensive improvements in its 42-year history, but the changes aren't over yet.
While ceremonies were held to mark completion of food court renovation and improvements to other common areas, plans were announced for the addition of several other retailers and restaurants.
Old Navy, which had closed its Southridge store last spring, will return to the mall in a smaller, 12,860-square-foot store on the lower level near Macy's.
Women's fashion retailer Ann Taylor Loft will open an upper level store near the food court.
And three new restaurants are also scheduled to open. Buca di Beppo, a casual-dining Italian restaurant, will be located at the southwest mall entrance near Macy's, while LongHorn Steakhouse and Panda Express restaurants are under construction in an outlot where a former Leath Furniture store had been located.
That's on top of changes earlier this year, when Macy's opened its second Milwaukee-area store at Southridge, Boston Store completed a remodeling project, and several smaller retailers opened new stores, or expanded or relocated their stores at the mall.
'Malls need to upgrade and renovate to stay competitive and fresh,' said Southridge general manager Mary Mokwa. 'Customers enjoy shopping in a fresh, updated environment.' In earlier years, 'there have been slight facelifts, but none of this scale.'
Greendale established tax increment financing districts to pay part of the cost of the mall improvements and Boston Store renovation.
'They have been tremendous partners,' Mokwa said of village officials. 'They've been great to work with - we couldn't have asked for more support. Renovation of Southridge has been a catalyst for rejuvenation of the whole 76th St. corridor.'
Village Manager Todd Michaels sounded a similar note.
'You hope there's a spillover factor when you invest in a TIF, and that's what has happened,' Michaels said.
Both he and Mokwa cited construction of a Walmart store on the former Bowling Congress site as an example.
Before the renovation, Southridge 'was perceived as in decline and underperforming,' Michaels said, while the Bowling Congress and Leath Furniture buildings were vacant, and Borders bookstore closed.
Now, Michaels added, 'we've gotten the Bowling Congress site redeveloped, and we've got a major tenant coming to the Borders building in the spring,' alluding to plans for a Designer Shoe Warehouse store at that location.
Mokwa said construction activity combined with the opening of new stores and restaurants has meant more jobs in the area. She estimated Macy's alone provided 160 new jobs.
Looking ahead, Mokwa said Indianapolis-based Simon Malls, which acquired Southridge five years ago, wants to make it 'the destination mall in this area.' With that goal in mind, she said Southridge hopes to attract new shoppers, and to get current shoppers to visit more frequently.
Mokwa said that some newer residents in fast-growing areas like Oak Creek, Franklin, Muskego and western Racine County 'might have driven by us in the past.' But since the addition of new stores and the facelift of common areas, 'we're seeing customers every day who haven't been here in a while. They've come back and like what they see.'

June 14, 2004: I submit a work order to maintenance. One of the handles to my classroom window has broken off. Thought the job could be completed over the summer, so that when the cold weather eventually set in, we'd be all cozy.
February 4, 2011: A maintenance man comes to Room 215 to see about repairs.
He: "Looks like they fixed up this window nice."
I: "You're looking at the wrong window."
He: "Huh? Oh, it's that one on the left that's broke? Maybe that's why all that cold air is seeping in."
I: "Perhaps. Do you pride yourself on promptness?"
He: "Yes, ma'am." He scans the almost seven-year-old summons. "I wonder why they sent me out here today?"
I: "Ummmmm...to fix the window?"
He: "You'll have to fill out a work order for that."
Well, Our Humble High School is almost 45 years old. At this rate, I suppose I'll have to wait another decade or so.

We would like to put a window into our bathroom, but the only area that is available has a black ABS vent pipe from the toilet running through it. Is it a problem to re-route the vent pipe horizontally, and then back over the window (to avoid putting another vent stack in the roof)??

Trapunto originated in Italy in the early 16th century. It made it's way through France into England. From there it came to the United States in the the late 1700's and remained popular until the Civil War. There was a revival in the early 1900's and again more recently.
Traditional Method was done by layering two pieces of fabric together. The design is completely quilted. The vines and straight line patterns are threaded with a soft yarn or cording. The rounder shapes of the motif are stuffed with small amounts of batting "teased" through the loosened fibers of the back. This was much easier with the homespun fabrics which were more loosely woven than today's fabrics.
