Jack had a personality that was matched by no other and when he laughed, the world laughed with him. His friends and family were very dear to him, and he was the catalyst that held everyone together.

Emery Telcom's yearly meeting was held on April 28 in Elmo. The Elmo church was filled to capacity with chairs setup in the hallways as well. Paul Crawford, board president, welcomed the members to the meeting and thanked them for coming. He also recognized Emery County Sheriff's deputies on hand at the meeting. The Buckhorn District Order of the Arrow scouts presented the flag and led the pledge of allegiance.
Crawford referred to the ongoing investigation of Emery Telcom by the Attorney General's office reporting the investigation is continuing and the board can't say much. "The board has full confidence in those being investigated. Don't rush to judgment. In America, you are innocent until proven guilty. We must see it through. The company has been held hostage by the legal process for 15 months. We have most of your support and most of you trust us." Crawford introduced Kendall Mortensen.
"My name is Kendall Mortensen. I have lived in Emery County most of my life. I am the elected board member representing Huntington, Lawrence and surrounding area, about 20-25 percent of the cooperative. I have three years left in my third five year term. I think I was elected and re-elected because the members I represent believe in my personal integrity and ability. In 12 years I have had very few questions or concerns about the company from the members in my district. If you ask about the attorney general's investigation my answer is 'There is an investigation going on and we can't talk about it.' It is kind of like we are noisy kids in Sunday school because we are told to be quiet so much. However, we as a board have publicly stated our full confidence in those managers targeted by the investigation. I personally believe in them and suggest that you not rush to judgment. This is still America and a person is still innocent until proven guilty. A lengthy, complicated process has been started. We must see it through. We have been held hostage by the legal, investigative process for 15 months, but it will eventually be over. I believe that the vast majority of you support the board of directors in whatever decision we make because you trust us. I hope we can soon get back to normal.
"Let me share some facts with you. This company started officially in 1950. The first board of directors consisted of Merrill Day from Elmo, Rulon Nelson from Ferron, Duane Jensen from Cleveland, Dennis Killian from Orangeville, Sam Alger from Elmo, Merrill Allred from Emery, and Jess Tuttle from Castle Dale. I only mention them because most of you don't remember the original board. The Co-op was formed to provide telephone service where no one else would. The original investment was $260,000, now the assets of the company are more that $40 million. Then we were one company, now we have seven separate incorporated companies, three regulated by the Federal Communications Commission and State of Utah Public Service Commission and four non-regulated. The company has made a profit nearly every year since 1961. Most importantly the telephone service is very good and other services, unimaginable in 1950, are among the best in the nation. I think you and I will agree that the Emery County Farmers Union Telephone Association (the original name) has grown into a very beneficial organization. I suggest that we need to be very careful before we start changing an organization that has a proven track record for 55 years.
"Dedicated employees hold things together and are well paid, based on training, experience, responsibility, and in line with national averages of companies like ours. They also have a good benefit package. It never seems to be 'enough' but cost of living increases are made regularly and opportunities for advancement exist. We applaud our staff that have done their best during a very difficult time
"We have been fortunate to have great general managers, not enough can be said about Keith Ware and his almost 40 years of dedicated leadership. I believe that Greg Killpack has become equally competent. In August of 2003, Tim Owens of Cronin Communications in Atlanta, Orlando and Washington D.C. told the board of directors 'Emery is in the fortunate positions of having an outstanding general manager...the general manager may well be over-qualified to run Emery...would the board be content to pay less for a less-qualified manager?' Greg is highly regarded by his industry peers. He is well know and admired by other telecommunication leaders around the country. He has been a director in the United States Telephone Association and is currently on the board of OPASTCO, another national association.
"Previous, as well as current boards of directors, have been and are made of people with various job experience which gives broad expertise and sound judgment. We are fortunate to have over 110 years of board experience currently. Paul Crawford is our mainstay. He was elected to the board in 1971 and was made president and chairman three months later. We have no desire to change that. He is the Director of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association representing Utah, Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska sine 1996. We believe his work, influence and experience is a major contributor to the success of Emery Telcom.
"In short, bear with us, we are going through difficult times. We will continue to provide the services you want and adapt to the changes in telecommunications as they come along," said Mortensen.
Crawford thanked Keith Ware, Mack Bunderson and Greg Killpack, referring to Killpack as an outstanding general manager who is highly regarded in the telecommunications field.
Crawford advised the audience to address issues and not personalities in their comments throughout the meeting.
The minutes from the meeting held in 2004 were read and approved. Erick Steinman, the chief financial officer, gave the financial report. He displayed a balance sheet on the overhead projector with the years 2000-2004 outlined. He said in April 2004, they paid down debt, which decreased cash reserves and decreased liabilities. Steinman explained the cash ratio between assets and liabilities for Emery Telcom is 4.4. A company is considered to be in good financial shape if it has a 2.5 ratio.
Killpack reported that since 1993, $841,558 has been returned to the Emery Telcom members in patronage checks. Emery Telcom awarded 11 scholarships to local high school students. They also provide $100 a month to each school for positive action rewards for students. The company has also started an intern program where a college student works in the community at a business in exchange for college tuition. Emery Telcom started the 2004 Crystal Apple award which honors local teachers for excellence. Emery Telcom supports local T-ball teams, seniors helping seniors and holds an annual blood drive.
Killpack said a future challenge facing the company is the rewriting of the Telecommunications Act of 1934/1996.
Emery Telcom is looking to pursue wireless opportunities and secure and maintain customers and stay ahead of new advances in technology. The company plans to look for opportunities to expand. In 2005, $1.6 million will be spent on capital improvement projects, some of which include: new heating system, dial up acceleration equipment, vehicle replacement; they are also waiting to hear on a deal for fiber optic placement from Grand Junction, Colo. to Provo.
The elections were held for the three board positions which were expiring, these included in Elmo, Darrell Gardner, in Cleveland, Randy Jensen and the at large position held by Kathy Justice. Those residing in the Elmo district voted for their board position and those in the Cleveland district, voted for their board position. All present could vote for the at-large position. Members went to the microphone to nominate people for the positions. In Elmo, Doyle Jensen, Tom Hansen and Darrell Gardner were nominated. Tom Hansen won this Elmo seat on the board.
Randy Jensen ran unopposed for the Cleveland position and retained his board membership.
In the at-large position two candidates were nominated, current board member, Kathy Justice and McKette Allred. In this election, Justice maintained her seat on the board.
After the business of the meeting was conducted the board opened the meeting to take a few questions from the members. One member, Gary Arrington, mentioned the large turnout of the meeting, with 537 people voting for the at-large candidate. He mentioned that Emery Telcom had taken out an ad encouraging people to attend the
meeting saying the future of the company was at stake. "What do you mean the future of the company is at stake," said Arrington.
Crawford responded that when people don't turn out for the ballot box, then voices aren't heard.
Arrington wondered if the board has done their duty in spending the company's money to hire legal counsel for the employees. Kendall Mortensen responded that the board would have been derelict in their duty if they had not spent the company's money in defending the company.
The question of who was paying for lawyers was raised. Crawford said there is no defense, because no charges have been made.
Lon Arnold spoke and said he had submitted bylaws changes to the company and was sent a letter saying these proposed changes would jeopardize the company and he wanted to know how these changes would do that. One proposal by Arnold was for term limits for board members. Arnold said he understood that you needed signatures from 10 percent of members to call a special meeting to amend the bylaws by state law. Arnold was told that the bylaws of Emery Telcom required 25 percent of the members to request a special meeting.
Mortensen wondered if Arnold was representing the patrons of the phone company or just himself?
Arnold also requested a copy of the independent auditors report. "Why can't we see it," he asked.
Mortensen said the board has been elected to represent the people. They have sought counsel from professionals and their attorneys say that in a competitive market place the auditors report should not be made available to keep such information from the competition.
Crawford said the investigation is still in progress and they can say nothing until it is settled and when settled the correct information will come forward.
Karen Dellos wondered how close the investigation is to coming to an end? Crawford said their internal investigation has been completed and the ball is in the Attorney General's court and it's not known how long it will drag on.
Dellos said it leaves the employees in limbo.
Crawford agreed that it has been a terrible time for the company and his heart goes out to the employees and he thanked the employees for the work they have done.
Dellos wondered why one employee lives out of state and they pay his expenses to fly back and forth.
Mortensen said they couldn't find anyone with his qualifications that would live in rural Utah. Most people with qualifications of this type are established in other areas and it is hard to entice them away from other companies and in this day and age, commuting long distances for work isn't unusual. With communication the way it is, you can do the work and not actually have to live in the city where the company is headquartered.
Crawford said that Ajay Tipnis has made the company more money than his wages and it has been well worth it.

The Green River Pirates came out running against the Escalante Moquis Saturday in their home opener. Justin Johnson scored an impressive 40 points, Spencer Marshall was also in double figures with 12. Erick Mendez added eight and Adrian Escalante had seven in the lopsided victory over the Moquis. They headed to Moab on Wednesday and faced the Grand County Devils and returned home with a victory 67-65.
As Justin Johnson drives the ball past half court, coach Tom Hughes calls time out with the game tied at 65 and 20 long seconds on the clock in a game that had the Grand County Red Devils leading for the better part of 3.5 quarters. Adrian Escalante takes the ball out on the far court and gives it to Justin Johnson who drives down low towards the basket, takes a shot but misses. Eric Mendez hauls in the rebound and immediately draws contact and the whistles start blaring. Red Devil players are stunned and protest loudly but Eric calmly drains both giving the Pirates a slim two point lead.
With 15 seconds remaining, Spencer Marshall and Adrian Escalante put pressure on the Red Devils to eat up the clock. As time winds down, the ball is given to the Red Devils big man, who banks a shot off the glass, which touches the rim and...
Each Green River Pirate and Grand County Red Devil player was looking forward to this game. Green River had a large crowd travel the familiar road to visit their long standing rival. Moab packed the stands with eager fans. From the tip off with only seven ticks off the clock, Justin Johnson pulls up on the far side of the court and drains a tre to give the Pirates an early lead. The first quarter ends with the two teams locked at 13 and the adrenaline pumping. The energy in the gym was electric and you knew the next three quarters were going to be good. Coach Hughes said after the game, "I figured that if we kept the score within 10 points, a loss would be a moral victory because of the games played the previous year."
With the help of some great outside shooting, the Red Devils lit up the basket and took a ten point lead into half time, but the Pirates never gave up and they continued to play team ball. Justin Johnson was on fire scoring 40 points for the night making nine the first quarter, 12 the second, six the third and he lit it up the fourth quarter with two 3-pointers, going 13 for 18 from the line for the game.
Eric Mendez stepped up big time with his offense and defensive play. Eric drained four field goals and one 3-pointer late in the game to help with the score and get the Pirate fans on their feet.
Jordan Olsen made only one field goal all night but it was a big one. Jordan worked his tail off on defense and got open down low next to the Pirate bench where he threw up a long ball which hit nothing but net.
Adrian Escalante and Spencer Marshall while not putting up big offensive numbers contributed like no other on the defensive end of the basket. Adrian held the Red Devil's offensive powerhouse to two points; one field goal and he clanked the front end of a 1-and-1. Last year in Green River this particular player scored 40+ points for the Red Devils. Spencer scored six points and exhibited great hustle through out the game.
Hold on, there is still a game to be played on the Pirates home court.

Degas' world: the rage for change
24 January – 3 May 2009 | Orde Poynton GalleryIntroduction | Essay | Gallery | Publication | Catalogue | Events
Eugéne Grasset The acid thrower c 1896 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Gift of Orde Poynton Esq, AO, CMG, 1993
more detail
Degas' world: the rage for change is an exhibition of European prints from the National Gallery of Australia's collection, opens in association with the major exhibition Degas: master of French art.
Featuring prints from the National Gallery of Australia's very distinguished International Print collection, Degas' world includes works by some of the late nineteenth century's most famous artists: Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Mary Cassat, Paul Signac and Pierre Bonnard among others. These artists also exhibited in the revolutionary Impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886 of which Degas was a key instigator. In addition, some of their most influential precursors, such as Camille Corot and Honoré Daumier, are highlighted.
The world of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists seen in Degas' world was one of factories, of pollution, of a dispossessed and alienated urban poor and of burgeoning feminism. For every dainty dancer in this exhibition, there is an aging strung-out junkie; for every innocent, oblivious child, there is the pathetic skin and bones of some has-been courtesan; for every summery frolic on a beach, there is a spectral face caught in the momentary light of a Paris night.

We should have a biggest troll category. :3
I'm still waiting for a "Most GAR Member" category.
Sonic's post also inspired me to suggest "Member Most Likely to Be Banned." There's also "Smartest Member" and "Best Taste in (Anime, Manga, Games, Movies etc.)" to consider.
Odds are none of these will be selected since Asce will rage if there are too many categories but they're just thoughts. That being said, I can't wait for voting.
Props to Ravona for the awesome sig! Noel is the greatest and I challenge you to prove me otherwise!

Nah, there were threads that were flamed so much that Satan would burn if he posted in them and we wouldn't remember what they were because they're already modded.
I'm surprised someone actually nominated Paulbee in the b*tch category, though.

Tony - 27/11/2007
Having never seen him before, I was a little worried that his style of humour would simply not be funny, and I'd be left watching 90mins worth of ramblings. How wrong I was. In a word, AMAZING. How he manages to keep going for 2hrs 30+ with just the few "prepared" gags, and the rest derived from a few bits chucked on stage I'll never know. Some comedians sell you short - not Noble. I'll know not to park in an NCP car park next time, as its just too expensive to stay there for the length of his show!
Wendy Croft - 10/10/2007
I saw Fizzy Logic" last year and was blown away by it. This was either less fresh or more lazy - far too much reliance on going through the bric-a-brac left on the stage by the audience, some of which was merely leaflets picked up in the half time interval - boring! I would gladly settle for a shorter but more focused set.. However, I have to say that the oat cake juggling was sublime!
CarlosTheJackal - 05/10/2007
Noble's as inventive as ever - this was now the fourth time I've seen him - but I can't help wondering how much better he'd be if he actually worked on and developed a proper "set" of material. And, at £20 a pop, it's an expensive way of watching a comic who hasn't done alot of homework to make sure he's as funny as he can be. It's undeniably clever being able to spitball whole sequences from chance audience comments, but anyone that's seen him will have seen that exact trick performed faultlessly already. When he does segue into some set pieces he's decided to prepare earlier, the transition feels clunky and the material is obvious (a chav in a shopping centre, and a few knob gags). I loved the gig, don't get me wrong, and I laughed a lot, but I think I was just hoping his act would, over time, have developed a bit - there are only so many laughs to be dragged from ninjas and monkeys.
Joe B - 05/10/2007
Brilliant set, brilliant show. Couple of people in the audience got a bit carried away but was still superb
Jim - 02/10/2007
Brilliant. The set is magic, don't miss the opening sequence. Noble is his usual frantic, befuddled, interactive self - a great show!

Mother talks about fatal fire
***UPDATE*** Johnson City, Tenn. - ***UPDATE***
We have new facts about a fire that claimed the life of a two-year-old girl in Marion, Virginia.
Virginia State Police ruled Tuesday's fire an accident caused by human error.
Detectives also tell us the investigation revealed the fire started inside the second story unit of the Country Club Crossing Apartments, where Elizabeth LeSueur lived with her family.
Elizabeth's two-year-old daughter, Abigail died in the fire.
We have more information about the fire that took the life of a two-year-old girl in Marion, Virginia Tuesday morning.
We visited the mother of the little girl at Johnson City Medical Center.
We talked with her about the tragic events that occurred in her Country Club Crossings Apartment that morning.
Elizabeth LeSueur is recovering at Johnson City Medical Center. She has three fractures in her spine, a broken ankle, and burns from a fire in her apartment that took the life of her two-year-old daughter Abigail.
She was bathing when her young son three-year-old Jacob saw smoke.
"My son come in the bathroom and told me there was something burning and when I look out through the hallway there was smoke. I turned the water off I got my towel didn't bother wrapping it around me. I went and looked around and there was a fire starting behind my couch," LeSueur said.
Her two kids Jacob and Abigail were already making their way out of the apartment and Elizabeth wanted to retrieve important papers before getting out herself as the fire grew.
"I didn't know sissy had some back in for me so the whole time I thought Sissy was sitting outside with Brother. I jump out the window," she said.
That's when she suffered her injuries to her back and ankle. Little did she know her daughter was still inside.
"I couldn't do nothing. I was sitting there trying to tell my little girl to jump and that I would catch her next thing I know there was a big explosion through the living room. The windows bust out," she tearfully recalled.
Neighbors tried to get inside to save the little girl but were driven back by the fire. By the time help arrived it was too late. Firemen found her little girl.
"I don't know how she made it to the bathroom but I know she was laying in the bathtub where she last seen me," she cried.
The investigating is continuing.
Elizabeth Lesueur was angry about all of the rumors that spread that the fire was meth related. She told us that was not the case that her kids are way more important that drugs.

Windows 8 Usability on PCs for Novice and Power Users Blasted in Study
Jason Mick
November 21, 2012 4:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: flickr)
Windows 8 has some good ideas but not for the PC form factor, the report's author argues
The baby
Microsoft Corp. (
Windows President Steven Sinofsky
Windows 8
, was supposed to be a dynamite follow-up to Windows 7. Instead the successor to the
best-selling operating system in history
is perhaps becoming best known for its
deeply divisive impact
on users.
Users tend to be split into two camps. On one side are folks like Steven "Woz" Wozniak, Apple, Inc. (
) co-founder, who takes the perspective that Windows 8 (and its mobile brethren Windows Phone) are wildly innovative. "The Woz" commented in a
recent interview
, "I've seen more of the type of innovation (from Microsoft) where you see something: 'Whoa - they really changed things drastically. Whoa - they aren't even going the same direction as everyone else' - meaning the iPhone and Android operating systems."
But others, like
typically pro-Windows
blogger Paul Thurrott (who
compared Win8 to Windows ME
) and Valve's Gabe Newell (who
called the OS a "disaster"
) are decidedly unhappy with the radical shift.
Such sentiments have been compiled and perhaps most eloquently analyzed by Jakob Nielsen of
, who compiled a
rich, multi-page study
on what he feels are the flaws of Windows 8.

Among his major gripes:
Double desktop (Windows 8 UI vs. the traditional desktop)
creates interface slowness and cognitive dissonance
Switch to single windowing
Hard to remember what you have open for complex tasks
"Flat" look of Windows 8 UI tiles
Hard to tell where tile boundaries are, icons are more likely to be less distinctive
Photo/graphic heavy UI themes
While nice to look at they convey information at a lower density than "uglier" themes
Live Tiles
Third party developers show less sophistication than Microsoft, toss together confusing tiles that don't enhance usability or understanding.
Harder to use on traditional devices, are hidden (and thus forgotten), and don't work universally across Windows interface, so they confuse.
Nielsen says the gestures are error prone and overly complex, such as the multi-step gesture to reveal running apps.
Tablet UI for Desktops
The above problems are less obvious on tablets, or in some cases not problems at all; he argues "One Windows" is a bad strategy for Microsoft
Mr. Nielsen gives these "Live Tiles" as examples of the UI tempting developers into sloppy, confusing design. [Image Source: AlertBox]
He tries to buck the inevitable hate train that's coming down the tracks in his direction, telling Microsoft fans (which he claims to himself be one of):
Because this column is very critical of Microsoft's main product, some people will no doubt accuse me of being an Apple fanboy or a Microsoft hater. I'm neither. I switched from Macintosh to Windows many years ago and have been very pleased with Windows 7.
I am a great
fan of the dramatic "ribbon" redesign of Office
(we later gave several
awards to other applications
that adapted this UI innovation), and I proclaimed the
Kinect an "exciting advance in UI technology."
I have many friends who work at Microsoft and know that it has many very talented usability researchers and UI designers on staff.
I have nothing against Microsoft. I happen to think that Windows 7 is a good product and that Windows 8 is a misguided one. I derived these conclusions from
first principles of human–computer interaction theory
and from watching users in our new research. One doesn't have to hate or love a company in order to analyze its UI designs.
I'll stay with Win7 the next few years and hope for better times with Windows 9. One great thing about Microsoft is that they do have a history of correcting their mistakes.
Of course there are plenty of counterarguments to his points. For example, blaming Microsoft for poorly designed live tiles or uncreative overly similar flat tiles is perhaps unfair. Many gestures have backup keyboard shortcuts for traditional PCs. Mobile-heavy users have already gotten used to hidden multi-tasking so hiding windows isn't the end of the world. Graphically rich themes may pack less information, but they encourage users to dig in and grab more information. The double desktop only becomes a hindrance if you have to keep going back to the traditional desktop as a crutch.
As the above counter-arguments illustrate, there's two sides to nearly every argument regarding Windows 8. Perhaps that's why it's proved so utterly divisive.
Our survey
shows that roughly half of readers (45 percent) have made the upgrade to Windows 8, but a significant remaining portion (36 percent) have strongly negative opinions about it and no plans to upgrade, comparing it to such loathed releases as Windows ME or Windows Vista.

"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music.

In this session we consider how technology can be used from a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) perspective, that is, as a way to differentiate the learning experience to meet the various learning styles and needs of students. Steve Sider, from the Faculty of Education, will provide input from a course he teaches in which students complete a learning profile in the first class. He will discuss (and model) how he uses technology to help differentiate the learning activities based on the individual and class profiles. Lynn Kane will also be linking this discussion to new accessibility requirements for faculty under Ontario's provincial legislation.

Consultancy is an integral part of every project that Paraspar takes on.
For each project we have an initial meeting (which is without charge or obligation), where we ask questions and listen intently about what you do, and where you want to go. We discuss this until we have a good understanding of what your business needs are, how your web site can support them, and where our services can be of best use.
We then provide our views on what has been discussed and how the requirements could be met. We demonstrate examples of similar requirements and how solutions have been deployed (we have built enough sites to be able to confidently demonstrate existing solutions to most requirements). Where we do not have an existing solution, we can define and communicate new functionality or processes to meet the requirements.
We then provide you with a project overview document outlining the functional requirements most suited to your business objectives.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
Here's a bit of bitter, not better, news for chocolate enthusiasts. Due to higher world-wide demand for chocolate and bad weather in the cacao growing regions, the price of chocolate is expected to rise, especially for premium chocolate.
Rising demand in Asia along with bad weather for major cocoa crops in Ivory Coast, Ghana and Indonesia are driving costs up significantly. The price of cocoa butter, which is used to make chocolate, is at an all time high—up 80% in just the last 7 months.
The cost of making the average milk chocolate bar is up 25% in the past year; however retail prices have only risen by 7%, because the big chocolate makers want to avoid pricing consumers out of their cravings.
If you like higher-quality dark chocolate, you'll probably see prices going up much more. If left to our politicians, who want to control everything, they might propose creating a Department of Chocolate and a chocolate welfare program to manage the "global chocolate crisis."
If you want a unilateral solution, however, you might wait until Nov. 1 and then stuff your freezer full of Trick or Treat leftovers to tide you through the end of the year. After all, as I write this, we don't even have a functioning government. Better yet, indulge early and often with the good stuff—Choclatique.

Eldorado head coach Lisa Craig called it the "deer in the headlight" effect.
Eldorado took the middle game of a three-set loss to Harrisburg Tuesday night at Duff-Kingston Gymnasium as the Bulldogs won Game 1 25-9, lost in Game 2 26-24 and won Game 3 25-21.
"We might have had some first game jitters," Craig said. "The second two games were much better. We talk in practice about hitting corners and deep since most defenses play short and a lot of the balls were going too far out. The girls' hearts were pumping and they were hitting too hard."
Abby Stead was 12-for-26 in spikes with two kills, one block and 8-for-9 on serves with 13 points and four aces for the Eagles.
Erica Graczyk finished 22-for-27 on spikes with 10 kills, while going 3-for-4 on serves with seven points, two aces and two blocks.
Kourtney Phillips was 18-for-25 on spikes with eight kills, while going 10-for-11 on serves with 15 points and four aces.
Sadie Steed was 7-for-9 on spikes with one kill. Steed went 6-for-7 on serves with 10 points and one ace. Dresdyn Bramlet finished 4-for-5 on spikes with two kills, while going 2-for-5 on serves with seven points. Mary Mitchell was 18-for-18 on sets with a 4-for-6 line on serves with 10 points.
For Harrisburg head coach Stephanie Ferrell, it was the third year coaches first win over Craig and the Eagles.
Ferrell called it a great opening season win for her squad, one where her Bulldogs came out hard in the first game.
"We lost our footing in the second game making simple mistakes," Ferrell said. "We gained our momentum back in the third. This match helped us see where we need to invest time in, such as block coverage and rapid recovery."
Devan Jones had four kills while Michaela Colbert and Whitney Younger both had three kills. Brittany Reynolds and Malayna Douglas set them up with Reynolds having five assists and Douglas having eight on the night.
Haley Thompson came out and put down five blocks and two block stuffs. Ashley Ferrell rounded out the night with five ace serves and 14 service points while Malayna Douglas served 18 points.
Both Parker Upchurch and Hannah Bartok played the last line of defense for Harrisburg poviding a barrier in the back row against Eldorado's hitters and serving consistently.
"They are a well coached team with exceptional athletes," Craig said of Eldorado. "We knew we would have a battle if we were going to beat them. I was proud of the way my kids kept giving 100 percent on the floor, at the net and serving. They never gave up."
As for Craig she noted Bartok's defense in the back, but also the Bulldogs' digging.
"Harrisburg did a great job of digging tonight. Nothing got past Hannah Bartok either," Craig said. "Overall, the last two games I was pleased with how we played. We need to work on our unforced errors. Hopefully that will come as we play more games. I thought Mary (Mitchell) did a great job and with more games she will know how the hitters like their sets. We moved the ball around to all the hitters and that will be an advantage later in the year."
Page 2 of 2 - The Harrisburg junior varsity club knocked off Eldorado in three games, rallying from a 25-18 loss to win Game 2 25-20 and Game 3 15-11.
Harrisburg junior varsity coach Heather Cox said her squad struggled with their serving Tuesday night.
"We also had a hard time getting our feet underneath us and working the nerves out of our system. With that being said, at moments I saw great potential."
The Harrisburg freshmen knocked off Eldorado in straight sets, 25-10, 25-20.
Over the weekend, Harrisburg took part in the Southern Illinois River-to-River Conference Tournament at Herrin High School. The Bulldogs knocked off Anna-Jonesboro 31-29, 24-26 and 15-11, while losing in straight sets to Carterville (19-25, 16-25), Benton (12-25, 13-25), Murphysboro (8-25, 17-25) and Herrin (25-23, 25-11).
Harrisburg is scheduled to play host to Carrier Mills Thursday at Davenport Gymnasium, while Eldorado is slated to play at Norris City-Omaha-Enfield tonight (Wednesday) and Thursday.

Media Day with the Players, Coach, and General Manager
Dimitri Filipovic
September 11 2013 12:59PM
Z z Z z Z z Z
Image via Gráinne.
Training camp officially got underway this morning, with the players (plus coach and GM) meeting with the media to answer questions. While Alex Edler and Dan Hamhuis obviously weren't too interested in the proceedings - who can blame them, it was generally devoid of anything too insightful - there were a few things that I figured were worth pointing out, and pivoting off of.
If you'd like to watch it for yourself, feel free to go here. But right past the jump I'll look at some of the more prevalent quotes and topics of discussions from today's media day.
Luongo was up first with the Sedins and the soft-spoken Jannik Hansen, who must've had a fun time sitting there sipping his water. When asked about his workload, Luongo quickly brought up Eddie Lack ("he has a bright future, if he had to step in he'd be a fine job"), which certainly must've hurt Joacim Eriksson's feelings.
He drew a few laughs with his response of "I'm not on Twitter. I don't know what you're talking about." when asked about Tortorella's philosophy on Twitter. Right. If that's the case, then why on earth is this my Twitter avatar for the next 3 weeks? Beyond that, he banged the "I just want to go out there, do my best, and perform" pretty hard, which has been his stock answer for a while now.
The Sedins' contract negotiations will be pushed into high-gear tomorrow as their agent will be in Vancouver to meet with Canucks management. That report was brought to you by Darren Dreger, whose work in Toronto is done for the time being. When asked, Henrik said that this will "hopefully be our last contract", which is a definite change of tune from when they said that they'd like to go on a year-by-year basis.
I'd say that the biggest piece of news from today was that David Booth still isn't cleared to participate in camp. Unfortunately, we don't know exactly when to expect to see him on the ice. When asked about his expectations Mike Gillis replied, "I do [have a day I expect Booth to be ready].. but I'm not going to tell you." According to coach Tortorella, he won't be rushed, and is considered day-to-day. None of that is all that revealing, but it does came as somewhat of a surprise considering we've seen photos surface of him skating with his teammates.
When it came time for him to speak, Zack Kassian discussed how he understands that he needs to be more consistent this season, and that he feels as if he is much more mature heading into camp this time around. He also became the 181281219823291st player to ever talk about how he was in the best shape of his life. Tortorella went on to say that he will be given an opportunity to flank the Sedins in scrimmages and the preseason, which we expected, since he has also expressed a desire to reunite Alex Burrows with Ryan Kesler on the 2nd line.
Speaking of Kesler, he said that the past couple of years have been a "learning curve", but in terms of the injuries that have been nagging at him, he's at the point where he's not thinking about them anymore. On his relationship with Tortorella: "I think we're a good fit. We both want to win, and we both hate losing." The follow-up question was about whether he envisions them "butting heads", and he sighed, before saying "wow, we're starting this already are we?" That's what we do here in Vancouver. Hockey for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You know that. Finally, he ended with "we're going to prove the doubters wrong and make them eat their words."
Dan Hamhuis is still sad, Alex Edler's hair is still slick, and Chris Tanev has apparently refrained from getting a haircut this summer. Also, I'd still hide my kids from Zack Kassian, if I were you.
Yesterday we pointed out that there are numerous spots up for grabs over the coming weeks, as the opening night roster is far from set at this point. One of the more important ones is the 3rd line C gig; as I scan the roster, there isn't exactly a particularly favourable fit there. Brad Richardson moving up from the 4th line is an option, I guess, but it's not the solution. Neither is Jordan Schroeder, probably. While it's possible that Bo Horvat really impresses and is given a shot there, I wouldn't expect it. Mike Gillis seems to be aware of all of this, pointing out that the team has roughly $2.5 million in cap space to tinker. I figure there's another move to come before October 3rd, but we'll see.
Last but certainly least, let's get to Tom Sestito, who appeared to be wearing a shirt that said "RIOT". He noted that he's here to bring the "jam", and that he has no intentions of changing the way he plays the game for the coach. I found that particularly strange, because I figured he'd have a desire to you know, become a more effective hockey player.
On-ice testing begins tomorrow, and by all accounts, the players are in for a treat. Daniel didn't seem too worried when he said that "no one remembers how many bench presses you did by the end of the season", but he couldn't be further from the truth. A bro always remembers his bench press totals.
In case you were wondering which players will be involved, and what the preseason schedule looks like, it's all here.
The "last contract" remark from Henrik is a little worrisome.
Anything more than 3 years and around $7 - $8 million a year would be pretty risky.
The Sedins can only negotiate with Vancouver for the next 9+ months.
They have given every indication that Vancouver is their first choice.
Hopefully the cap wizards don't jump the market again.
@Unknown Comic
It depends.
The Canucks could, for example, trade a 2nd round pick and prospect to St Louis for Derek Roy.
But they're probably better off just spending the cash as opposed to giving up assets on top of the cash.
Although Bieksa previously mocked him and, in the process, Schroeder as a third line centre option, there's no harm in bringing in Wellwood on a PTO.
September 11 2013, 05:06PM
Doesn't the 2.5M buy you more around the trade deadline then in October?
@NM00 is the uber troll. No need to take him seriously. Ever. He is a clown much like Joe Pesci in GOODFELLAS.
How many better options are there considering the lack of cap space and calibre of free agents currently available?
I could have suggested trading Luongo for Dipietro+, signing any of Clarkson, Horton, Roy, Cullen, Gordon or Grabovski.
But that would have been pure wish fulfillment...
The free agent centers out there are pretty slim pickings. It wouldn't cost much to bring in a Steckel or Wellwood (!) but a lot of the guys out there available (Reasoner) are so old that i don't think they've got much left to give. I'd like to see how things shake out in training camp -- maybe Gaunce picks it up, maybe Richardson is better than the spare part he was in LA. I'd hate to jump the gun on bringing in someone given the dearth of third-line c's out there (defensive-minded that is).
I doubt the Sedins are going to look for much more than a 3 year deal.
September 11 2013, 01:20PM
kas needs to start working out with garrison
I expected Sestito to report to Utica to start the season - home town boy and all.
The more I think about it, the more I think Horvat has the best chance at 3C. I know we've only seen him in the prospects tourney, which doesn't mean much, but they've gone out of their way all summer to say they want youth in the lineup and that prospects will be given every opportunity to make the team. It's clear Torts is going to love this kid, and even at this point in his development he's probably more ready for the role of 3C than Schroeder.
I expect him to get his 9 game cup of coffee at the very least. I think it'd be better for him to go back to London for the year, but if he excels it'll be a tough choice.
Seisto: "I figured he'd have a desire to you know, become a more effective hockey player."
That is gold! Pure Gold! Lets hope he goes to Utica and stays there.
What about Santorelli as your third C? Also, in an interview with Team1040 earlier this summer, Gilman seemed to hint at the more traditional "checking" line being centered by Kesler this season so this season, your 3rd line might be more offensively minded than we're used to seeing.
I suspect we'll see a Booth/Jensen-Schroeder/Santorelli-Hansen/Higgins revolving door on the third line this season.
At least we would if AV was coaching. I'm so curious to see how Torts is going to handle this!

Reviews for this host's other properties
At first we want to say that Estela is the perfect host. When we arrived, she took her time to explain and show us everything about the appartment and to give us a lot of information about lisbon.She even asked us which person she could contact in case something would happen with us.
The bottle of wine in the fridge was a nice gesture.
About the appartment we just can say good things: clean, complete equipped kitchen, very good shower, very good bed and perfectly located in bairro alto, close to bars, shops and restaurants.
Thank you Estela. We enjoyed Lisbon very much
Great schnuckliges apartment in the Bairro Alto. Very good starting point to visit the city. Many small restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity. Estela greeted us warmly and given a few tips for our stay. Even a bottle of wine was already sidelined. The key handover has taken place as the pre-arranged time without any problems. Time from the airport to the apartment about 50 min. All in all, highly recommended!
Tolles schnuckliges Apartment direkt im bairro Alto. Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um die Stadt zu besichtigen. Viele kleine Restaurants und Bars in der direkten Umgebung. Estela hat uns herzlich begrüßt und ein paar Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt gegeben. Sogar eine Flasche Wein war schon kaltgestellt. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat wie zum vorher abgestimmten Zeitpunkt problemlos stattgefunden. Zeit vom Flughafen bis zum Apartment ca. 50 min. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen!
Accommodation is easily reachable and is central. Handover was smooth and we have received several tips. Room, bathroom and kitchen for a city trip adequate and clean. Decor was stylish and everything was very clean. Would come back at any time. Since the property is located in a nightlife area, I recommend earplugs take, it can be noisy at night again.
Unterkunft ist super zu erreichen und liegt Zentrale. Übergabe war problemlos und wir haben einige Tipps erhalten. Zimmer, Bad und Küche für einen Städtetripp ausreichend und sauber. Einrichtung war stilvoll und alles sehr sauber. Würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Da die Unterkunft in einer Ausgehgegend liegt, empfehle ich Ohrstöpsel mitzunehmen, es kann nachts immer wieder laut werden.
Am in love in Lisabon and i will be back for sure! That was absolutely a good choise to sleep in this charming apartment. If you go to Lisabon for few days, you must book it because is very clean and chic! Estela is a very kind, friendly and helping person! See you next time.
A fine little apartment right in the entertainment district. Good location for exploring the old town. Disadvantage on Friday and Saturday it is very loud to three clock in the morning on the road - Even though the windows. Anyone who is even night owls, feels safe and comfortable in this apartment. If you like to sleep before midnight perhaps should be looking for a hotel in a different area. All in all still very satisfied. Karin
Ein feines kleines Apartment mitten im Vergnügungsviertel. Gute Lage für Ausflüge durch die Altstadt. Nachteil, am Freitag und Samstag ist es bis drei Uhr Morgens sehr laut auf der Straße - trotz geschlossener Fenster. Wer also selbst Nachtschwärmer ist, fühlt sich in dieser Wohnung sicher wohl. Wer gerne vor Mitternacht schlafen möchte sollte sich vielleicht eine Unterkunft in einer anderen Gegend suchen. Alles in Allem trotzdem sehr zufrieden. Karin
Very nice apartment in a great location - really directly located in the entertainment district Bairro Alto. Facilities and cleanliness (very) well - only a shower mat we missed. Overall, the apartment is small, but nice (the bathroom is only suitable for slim people). One should have no delicate sleep: at the next corner is a student bar where it deep things get very noisy at night, not only on weekends. For this, the window really close very well and with the windows closed you can hear almost nothing. Very nice landlord who provides hold a lot of information. We would come again!
Sehr schönes Apartment in toller Lage - wirklich direkt im Kneipenviertel Bairro Alto gelegen. Ausstattung und Sauberkeit (sehr) gut - lediglich eine Duschmatte haben wir vermisst. Insgesamt ist die Wohnung klein, aber fein (das Bad ist nur für schlanke Menschen geeignet). Man sollte keinen empfindlichen Schlaf haben: an der nächsten Ecke ist eine Studentenbar, wo es nicht nur am Wochenende bis tief in die Nacht sehr laut hergeht. Dafür schließen die Fenster wirklich sehr gut und bei geschlossenem Fenster hört man fast nichts. Sehr nette Vermieter, die viele Informationen bereithalten. Wir würden wieder kommen!
Estela thank you to you for your time and for your touching attentions! We had a great time. Both cozy, clean and functional, we did not miss anything in your apartment. It was great! The place is ideal.
Good experience for future tenants of the Barrio Alto :-)
Merci à vous Estela pour votre disponibilité et pour vos touchantes attentions! Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. A la fois cosy, propre et fonctionnel, nous n'avons manqué de rien dans votre appartement. C'était super! L'endroit est idéal.
Bon séjour aux futurs locataires du Barrio Alto :-)
Very nice Appartment. Everything was very clean when we arrived. You are in the centre off Lisbon and you can walk to everything. Perfect for couples or friends who love to do some Lisbon sightseeing.
The apartment of Estela was very okay!
It was clean enough, light, and everything we needed was present. The husband of Estela explained everything about the apartment when we arrived, and there is a information folder with useful information.
It was not spacious, but big enough for 2 people who mostly spend their time in the city streets. We cooked a simple meal in the kitchen and that was well possible. It would be a bit more perfect if there were some basic ingredients present, like salt and olive oil.
The street (rua dos mouros) is just 1 street away of the busiest streets of bairro alto. In the afternoon and evening you can hear the bar and city sounds very well, but when you close the windows the noise is much less.
The accessibility of the apartment with the public transport is not ideal. The walk to the metro stations is okay: it's downhill. But the walk back uphill is an activity you feel in your legs! A good training activity!
All together, we had a great time in Lissabon and in the apartment!
Fantastic location in the most beautiful area of Lisbon.
Ubicación fantástica en la zona más bonita de Lisboa.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
This week's blog comments are testimonials to the unbelievable resiliency of the human spirit.
Chronic illness. Shattered dreams. Betrayals. Chemical dependency. Divorces. Fractured family relationships. But through it all, there's a resounding note of determination and the feeling, "Yes, this is hard but I'm going to get through it. And I will be stronger when I come out on the other end."
Of course, it helps to have support from others — a friend or a family member who listens in a nonjudgmental way and is there for you during difficult times. Professional help can be life-saving too.
Although you can't turn back the clock on setbacks and disappointments, your past does not have to define you. After all, the present moment is all you can control, not what happened in the past.

In 2010, my husband was diagnosed with PTSD and Conversion Disorder. That was a life changer (especially with a 2 year old). We adapted and are doing what we can. Over the years as he's progressively getting better, I really feel him pushing me away. I stayed every night at the hospitals and did everything I could. Now, his mother has cancer, my father has cancer. We've been together nearly 12 years and it doesn't even feel like we're married anymore. I stress out about him leaving at all hours and worry for him. I rock my daughter to sleep because of missing daddy and I help take care of the family members with cancer. I really feel like I'm breaking down. I don't sleep well, my energy is gone, and I cry at the drop of the hat. Any suggestions for dealing with this?

Stop being a perfectionist and expecting too much of yourself. Be realistic. Balance your work and play. Recognize and accept your limits. Slow down. Organize yourself; have a place for everything.
Develop a routine and schedule in your life. Budget your time. Simplify and learn to say no. Live within your budget. Give up the idea "More is Better". Reward yourself (hot baths, a healthy snack, etc).
I have a lot of trouble with stress. The year 2010 has left me with a huge loss and high stress level. I lost my cat age 14 my dog age 15 and my last living member of my fathers family. During this time I had to learn 2 new computor systems at work. I still associate those losses when I have trouble with my computor at work, or changes are made in the program. How can I seperate the two. I didn't even realize they were combined until recently. Help if you can.
Dear Lisa,
I have faith in you! Where has compassion, meaning, purpose gone?
Once, against all odds plus my friends and family, a person I knew well from being a volunteer advocate for my disease, said to me, "I have faith in you. You can stop this criminal from hurting other people like you."
I had been the target of ID theft and there appeared to be a drug dealer involved, so all of my friends and family were afraid to support me to go to court. They would not even go in my car at all because they were afraid they would be killed. Somehow, when I heard "I have faith in you" everything transformed into good. No money, no charge, just faith in people this individual expressed.
Don't ask me why, but we do not hear that any more. Why?
Lisa, I have faith in you! You are important to all of us. May more people reach out to you with their compassion. You have meaning to all of us whether you feel it right now or not. You do!
No offense, but this was not helpful. It didn't offer any help except a few trite statements. It didn't offer any ways to help cope. And when you say to get help...WHERE? Unless you have medical insurance, there is no mental health available. All that was offered to me when I called suicide hotline was to call 911. Yeah that made sense. Get locked up for observation...while my pets are put in the shelter...that's going to help! Seriously, why don't you just say it like it is...For those of you with money or insurance you can go to a doctor and for all you other poor slobs...sorry...try to think positive! How lame!
The hardest thing in life is not to fail or succeed, but to fail and then succeed.
Fall and fall again, because eventually it only becomes possible to fall forwards.
I've just started a blog on positivity myself, so I'm glad I've found yours to have a good read for inspiration :-)
