GDB 69: Copper & Blue face the Blues on this Day of Green
Jason Gregor
March 17 2009 03:11PM
While many of you are already at Ceili's, O'Brynes or some other Irish pub pounding meal-in-a-glass Guinness and celebrating like you actually have some Irish blood in you, the Oilers are looking to avoid a 4th straight overtime loss. And if you're an historian or a believer in fate, destiny or voodoo it doesn't look good for the Edmonton Oilers tonight. Saint Patrick, prior to the 20th century was always depicted in blue rather than green, so with the Blues in town tonight they could have some historic luck on their side.
However, the Oilers have the best Irish name in the league -- Patty O'Sullivan -- so that might even things out. Much to my chagrin, O'Sullivan didn't dye his hair green for the morning skate, and wasn't planning on doing it tonight. Talk about missing out on a great PR opportunity.
Regardless, O'Sullivan is hoping to have the Luck of the Irish on his side when he lines up beside Horcoff and Hemsky tonight.
**While Liam is an Irish name, Reddox is in fact Scottish, so no extra luck from him.19 – 10 – 83 12 – 89 – 21 85 – 13 – 34 18 – 51 – 27
That's how the Oilers will lineup tonight as they look to derail the surging Blues. The Blues are 10-5 in their last 15, and like the Oilers, are riding one goalie. Chris Mason will start his 21st straight game tonight, while the Colossal Fossil starts his 25th consecutive game.
The other change will see Ladislav Smid draw back in. Smid has had neck spasms since taking a hit to his neck and back of the head from Colby Armstrong. The spasms were causing headaches, but after some acupuncture and massage he's good to go tonight.
The Oilers special teams have been anything but that this season, while the Blues excel at both. The Blues are 8th on the PP at 21%, while their PK is 11th at 82.5%. The Blues have scored the 5th most PP goals in the league, 62, compared to the Oilers 49.
The Blues' offensive players are great on the PP, but horrendous five-on-five. Brad Boyes (-18), Keith Tkachuk (-14) and Andy McDonald (-10) are clearly weak at EV, so if MacTavish is smart, he plays Horcoff's line against them as often as possible.
The Oilers will switch their PP tonight with Gagner working with Hemsky, Penner, Souray and Grebeshkov on the first unit and Horcoff, Nilsson, O'Sullivan, Gilbert and Kotalik on the 2nd unit.
PP has to produce
The first unit will stick with the unsuccessful and now very predictable look of Penner in front of the net, Hemsky on the left side boards and Gagner in the corner, while leaving the slot completely vacant.
Yesterday, I asked Horcoff why the Oilers don't employ someone in the slot.
"We're just doing what we are told to do really. That's up to Mac. He likes to draw the plays up and he makes the decisions on what our set up is going to be. We go out there and try to execute to the best of our abilities, but if that (slot) is where the open ice is then it's up to the guys on the ice to make the necessary adjustments and find the holes."
Interesting that the 2nd PP unit was practicing a set up that would see Horcoff slide into the slot to get the shot away. Why did it take this long? The PP has been predictable all season, and only now they start to look at another set up to give the opposition another look. You won't see this on the first unit, but expect it on the second Another option you might see tonight will be Kotalik, Hemsky and Penner up front. Kotalik will line up on the left wing with Hemsky down low and Penner in front.
"We have to be like Detroit. They have the most skill in the league, yet they shoot a lot. We need to shoot more," said Nilsson.
The Oilers refusal to shoot is their biggest detriment, especially on the PP.
Creating lots with little
I've been stating for a long time the value of role players. Some are energy guys, others penalty killers, or shot blockers but the common denominator is that they find a way to be effective in limited minutes.
It's hard to play seven to nine minutes a game and get noticed, or make an impact in the game, but Zack Stortini has mastered it. Stortini averages 7:20 a game and he has made his presence felt in most of them with either a fight, hit or the odd point.
Marc Pouliot played just over seven minutes in Saturday's loss and many were surprised how little he accomplished. It's hard to get in the flow of the game when you only get four or five shifts a period, and it is especially hard for a non-physical player.
I don't blame Pouliot because he has never had to play that role. It's hard to get used to. It's difficult to stay mentally and physically involved when you don't play. That's why most effective 4th liners have to have a physical edge to their game, or be a penalty killer to keep them involved in the game.
Pouliot won't be that guy here, and I don't understand why the coaches ask him to be that guy. Pouliot has eight goals this season and his ice time in those games follows: 15:05, 10:49, 18:13, 12:10, 13:47, 13:28, 9:59 and 6:34.
Pouliot can contribute a bit when he gets minutes, but he is not a guy that will give you much in a limited role.
Like most players he needs more minutes to produce, even Stortini has shown more ability with more minutes. His five goals came in games where he played 8:07, 9:25, 11:00, 11:05 and 6:24. In fact, in the only six games that he has played more than ten minutes he has four points. He has shown the ability to score with limited minutes, and most importantly to make his presence felt.
Stortini adds a dimension that the Oilers drastically need: energy, emotion and the ability to get the crowd in the game. The Oilers have the fewest home wins of any team in the West division, and too often Rexall Place has lacked an atmosphere this season. Stortini has become a fan favourite similar to what Georges Laraque used to be.
Laraque could just go in on the forecheck and the building would get excited for a potential hit. While it has taken some time, the fans have started to sense the same in Stortini. The Huggy Bear catcalls have been replaced with appreciation, and that's why it is perplexing that he finds himself in the pressbox for the third straight home game.
Most of Stortini's contributions will never show up on the score sheet and he probably won't ever become more than a 4th liner, but right now the Oilers need his energy, consistency and ability to spark the crowd while annoying the opposition. Why the coaching staff can't see this is another case of mismanagement.

Snowshoeing is a wintertime activity all can enjoy. While skiing may take a little more athletic prowess and training, snowshoeing provides exercise for all ages.
Many people may think of snowshoes as glorified tennis rackets attached to the bottom of shoes. But snowshoe apparel technology has evolved over the years. Many of today's snowshoes are made from lightweight aluminum and offer secure bindings and straps that keep the foot in place. Crampons may appear in the front and rear of the shoes for added traction. Some snowshoes may also have hinges that enable the foot to lift from the snow easily and offer added lateral support.
Unlike skiing or snowboarding, which requires designated slopes and courses, snowshoeing can occur just about anywhere there is an accumulation of at least 5 inches of snow. That means individuals can take to state parks or even their own neighborhoods to try snowshoeing. Also, while some sports may induce a little anxiety the first time around, the simplicity of snowshoeing can make the sport immediately enjoyable. All one really needs to know is how to walk and how to properly align their feet into the shoes.
Elaborate gear is not needed to when snowshoeing. Apart from the shoes, warm clothing and footwear from a person's own closet is all that's needed. Waterproof fabrics and wicking socks to keep out moisture are recommended, while dressing in layers enables a person to remain comfortable regardless of temperature. A backpack stocked with a snack and some beverages makes it easy to take a break on the trail and replenish. Walking poles can help snowshoers keep their balance and provide ease when hiking steep terrain.
Consider snowshoeing as an alternative to skiing or snowboarding when a lower-impact sport is desired. With a little gear, it's easy to get started right away.

Welcome to Dispute Resolution!
The requirement for schools to facilitate parents' participation in educational decisions regarding their children is evident throughout the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the federal law that deals with special education. Although the spirit of the regulations is that parents and schools will arrive at consensus, sometimes conflict arises. The Office of Dispute Resolution offers a number of options for parents and schools to address and resolve these conflicts.
Click on the links under the icons below to learn more about the services offered by Dispute Resolution. The colored buttons at the right provide additional information.

Facilitated IEP

State Complaint System
What is Dispute Resolution?
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires States to make available formal processes for public schools and families of children with disabilities age 3 through 21 to resolve disputes involving special education. The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) offers mediation (34 C.F.R. § 300.506), a due process hearing system (§ 300.507), and a state administrative complaint system through which ADE can investigate alleged violations of the IDEA (§§ 300.151 through 153). In addition, Dispute Resolution offers Early Resolution and Facilitated IEP as additional options for resolving special education conflicts between parents and schools.
Resolution at the Local Level
Special education disputes are best resolved at the earliest stages by the child's parents and school staff members of the IEP team. Parents and school staff are encouraged to communicate and work together to reach an agreement that is in the best interest of the child. Parents may also request in writing that the school reconvene the IEP team to discuss questions or concerns. Each district or charter school has a special education director or coordinator that parents can contact if problems still exist. The special education director can often assist the IEP team in finding a mutual agreement or resolution. To find the contact information for the special education director or coordinator for each school district or charter school, visit the ADE Public School Search and type the name of the school in the search bar on the left side of the screen.

Skip to comments.Michael Jackson Files Primary Ballot Access Challenge Against Obama In Illinois
Posted on 01/12/2012 10:15:00 AM PST by Obama Exposer
"I, Michael Jackson seek relief by the prohibition of Barack Hussein Obama on the U.S. Presidential ballot. Barack Hussein Obama is not "legally qualified" to be on the presidential ballot as he is not a Natural Born Citizen, which is a requirement mandated in Article II Section I Clause V of our U.S. Constitution to be eligible for President or Vice President. Moreover, I would seek relief in the recovery of all litigation expenses incurred; that my 14th Amendment rights provided in Section 1 of U.S. Constitution are not deprived nor caused to suffer injury."
(Excerpt) Read more at scribd.com ...
Michael Jackson?
Hee.. hee.. hee..
I suppose if dead people can vote, they should be able to sue as well.
The law suit from hell??
This case should be a Thriller, hopefully the judge tells Obama to Beat It...
So Michael Jackson, a black guy that pretended to be white, doesn't want hussein, a white guy who pretends to be black, on the ballot?
It's all about the Smooth Criminal in Chief.
I like these ballot access challenges. The standing is built right into the law, making them *much* harder to have dismissed before any evidence or discovery is allowed to be entered in court.
(I doubt the LF COLB that is/was on the WH server - complete with smiley face signature stamp- is going to be presented by Obama in any court, and not all these cases including this one are even challenging that LF COLB.)
That's funny :)
Obummer can only blame the Man in the Mirror
Thanks for responding. Illinois is the state where Obama exercised ballot challenges against his rival candidates when he ran for the first time for state senator. The strategic tactic was successful for him. This same tactic used here by Mr. Jackson will be used against Obama.
Very good point!!
What a country! Only in America can a poor, black boy such as Michael Jackson grow up to be a rich, white woman.
Just, Leave Him Alone
Fixed it!
Hmmm... maybe it really wasn't the doctor that killed him
I guess it's time for Barrys' minions to create birth certificate number 3!
Here is a article on it.
Maybe he'll expose O, the Smooth Criminal.
A dead Jacko could be a better president then the currant occupant. Just think of the parties at the white House... especially if the GREEK PM came for a state dinner.
Is this a lawsuit?? Illinois (and ironically Hawaii) is one of the states where voters can simply file a challenge with the election board or commission on any declarations of the eligibility of candidates. There was a woman a couple of years ago who was filing such challenges with some state officials, just to test out this law. Not sure what happened with her. The trick is that if you can get the commission to uphold its law, you are supposed to be granted a full hearing. In such a hearing (especially if in Hawaii), a challenger would technically satisfy the direct and tangible interest requirement for obtaining certified copies of Obama's vital records, not the HI DOH would actually follow their own law and issue the copies. If they didn't, one wouldn't have standing to sue.
You can read more about it here:
He couldn't afford the flight to the States.
The filing looks like its to a board of elections commissioner and not a lawsuit. This is actually relatively well-written. Curious to see under what excuse it ends up being ignored, but it shouldn't be.
Thanks for your analysis. I was hoping you'd weigh in. Considering this is the way [as someone up thread pointed out] Obama prevailed in, iirc, two of his campaigns, it's nice to see the tables turned. But as you say, the corruption runs deep, and it would be an epic—albeit very pleasant—shock if this challenge is accepted.
Well, let's see....57 states times $100k for each suit, that should give Obama's lawyers some business,huh? No wonder he's going to raise the debt ceiling again.
No, actually that's just a blog post.

Students and staff at City College Norwich took part in Onesie Wednesday to help generate funds for The National Autistic Society.
Every student wearing a onesie donated £1 to the good cause.
To help improve understanding of autism, there was also an information stand and activities in the college's main reception area.
The college supports more than 200 students with autism through its Regional Centre for Learners with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and specialist RUGroom facility.
Students come to the college from throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, and in some cases from even further afield, in order to access this specialist provision.
Gemma Burton, manager of the Regional Centre for Autistic Spectrum Disorders, said: "Onesie Wednesday is a fun way for us to help raise awareness of autism, both within the college and beyond."
"We see every day with our students that, with the right support, having autism need not hold any individual back from flourishing and reaching their full potential."
Pupils, staff, parents and carers from Hall School in Norwich also took part in Onesie Wednesday and did a sponsored one-mile walk around Catton Park in Old Catton wearing onesies and pyjamas to raise money for the National Autistic Society.
They also sold onesie shortbread biscuits that children in one of the primary classes made.
Sarah Ballard, fundraising organiser, said: "There were around 150 people taking part in the event and so far we have raised nearly £600. I am overwhelmed by the support from the staff, pupils and parents for this event and a big thank you to all those involved to make the event such a huge success."

Posted on 11/25/2012 10:04:18 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Being roommates with your parents after age 21 sounds like a nightmare for most, but Jessica Bruno wouldn't have it any other way. Bruno, a 40-year-old mom, wife and DIY blogger, lives with her 62-year-old parents, Connie and Fred, in their Sutton, Mass., home.
Oh, and there's Bruno's husband, Tony, and their 6-year-old son, Tony Jr.
Think that's a lot of people under one roof? There's more. Bruno's grandparents, Grace, 80, and Fred, 82, live in the house, too. That's seven people from four generations living together in one home. Actually, make that nine: Bruno's two stepdaughters, 12-year-old twins Alexia and Gabriella -- Tony's kids from another marriage -- stay with them on weekends.
It might sound like a crowded living situation, but it's not uncommon. The Bruno family is one of 4.4 million American households who have three generations or more living under one roof. There are also an estimated 51.4 million Americans that currently live in homes with more than two generations. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, multigenerational households are a growing trend, up 30 percent between 2000 and 2010, a figure that will only continue to grow, experts say.
"We've seen a 25 percent increase in demand for multigenerational housing structures over the past two years and expect to see more," said Luis Tusino, CEO of the GBI-Avis building group, which specializes in building custom modular homes.
The Bruno family has gone to great lengths to accommodate all the residents of their home. They've added 2,000 square feet to the original house over the years, expanding it to 5,000 square feet with three spacious and separate "wings" -- one for each family. They've spent about $70,000 in renovations...

"Comrade, there was living space for 13 families in this one house!"
There's a family on our street where half their kids (late 20's and early 30's) have moved back home and have been there for years. The "kids" mooch off the parents who also were heavily subsidized by their parents. It's a family tradition!
Periodically the "kids" bring their girlfriends and boyfriends to spend a few days in mom and dad's home. With all that coziness it's just a matter of time before one of the "guests" has a liason with another family member. That will be interesting. LOL.
I think it's a great idea. In fact, I wonder if part of this is less financial and more emotional. People used to live near or with relatives and see them often.
For every middle-aged couple who rejoices at the thought of an empty nest, there is another who misses the kids. And practically every kid I've ever known would like more time with Grandma and Grandpa.
During the Depression, my mother's family ended up living together even though they worked in the public sector (cops and firemen) and, therefore, missed the worst of that time. I truly think they were very close and kind to each other. We used to call it "extended families."
Nothing at all unusual about this around the rural area where I live, especially as I was growing up. Used to see lots of multigenerational homes and properties. Cases of sons and grandchildren building homes on the same property as the grandparents, or in some cases all of them just living together.
Over the past 20 years, I've noticed less of it. Most of my peers, and their parents had moved away from 'the nest'. but it seems to be making a comeback in a hurry.
I have 6 children, 14 g/children and 4 gg/children, I'd like to see all of them more often but have them live with me? No thanks.
The difference is that Zhivago's house was overtaken by strangers - stolen from him. This is more about sharing.
You bet this will continue to happen, as more people lose their homes, the economy continues to remain in the toilet and enter another recession, and rental unit rates climb, people will have no choice but to live with close relatives. Get used to the idea, it's already happening.
I expect them to start assigning "empty" and "underutilized" homes to Obamaphone recipients. England is already doing it.
Single mother-of-six finds £2m mansion on the net... and then gets YOU to pay £7,000 a month rent
My God! I just checked your link out. My mind is completely blown.
So what is old is new again?
Not surprising given the economy. And this is just the beginning.
If I were going to do this with my family, I'd prefer a "family compound" with several houses close together on a common piece of land. Gives more privacy.
This has been common for years with Armenian families in the Los Angeles area.
Oh, sure that's how it starts, then the government steps in and says, what about all the people who don't have traditional families.
Heck, I'm going to mooch off of my kids when I'm old, I'm telling them to study hard, because I want them to get a nice big house so that we can move in with them.
This is a wonderful return back to true family life. When your parents and grandparents stay with you, you take care of them and they take care of the kids.
That green one has the power supply for the entire pod....
Hope that works out for you. Just take your parent hat off when you move in; independent kids resent unsolicited "guidance" from mommy and daddy. :)
I'm single, 60 years old. As an empty nester, my house was many times bigger than I needed. A couple years ago my daughter, hubby & 2 small grandkids moved in with me. Part of my deal to get my son in law thru college. We all get along great, but we're lucky.
We have a "family" of Mexicans living in our neighborhood. the enclosed the garage and made another room, or two, or three....not sure. Now when they open the garage door you can see studs and sheetrock. The HOA is supposedly trying to do something about it. It's definitely against the rules.
Now, THAT is what HOA's are FOR! Not going after flag poles.
I grew up on one of those family compounds. Aunts and Uncles on both sides, Grandparents in the house in front. Even though it was considered an urban area (El Monte), my chores after school were to feed the chickens and gather the eggs, gather firewood and chop kindling for the firewood boxes on Grandmas front porch.
My concern are not multi-generational home but unrelated multi-family homes.
Why is it only in America where we say, "You're 21, gtfo NOW. And grandma, you can't bathe yourself any more so you gtfo too?" Is it our culture of independence? Is it our affluence in comparison to other countries? Family should be a death grip. "Get motivated and shoot for your dream. We will not abandon you before you're ready and we won't send you away to die alone."
Had the remodel planned and laid out on paper and the budget worked out in anticipation of Romney/Ryan and was looking for an architect and contractor to help me make it happen.
I would have employed a few people to get it done, bought a lot of material from local suppliers and think it would have improved the neighborhood. Oh well...so much for that idea...not spending any more money and certainly won't be borrowing any!
I lived a state away from my children, but I was in a resort area and everyone would spend some vacation time with me. Then, two years ago there was more snow than usual and my children worried about me alone up there all winter, and since I'm "elderly" actually only 88, they convinced me to sell my house and move in with my bachelor son, so I did, and since I have 3 children in the same town, it has worked out just fine for all of us (well maybe not my son). But I own a commercial strip mall and I told him he doesn't have to pay rent.
I grew up in a multi-generational home (I'm 59.) My widowed grandmother came to live with us when I was 2, and she lived with us until she passed away I was 12.) Then my great aunt lived with us (during my HS years and died when I was in college) because she was alone and didn't want to live on her own.
We (my husband and I) followed suit and my MIL lived with us once my FIL passed...it just seemed like the "normal" thing to do (our kid took it in stride ) She has passed away, as has my mom, but we've let my dad know that he has a place here with us, if he ever wants to move in.
I know plenty of families who have 3 generations, living under one roof (I know one who has 4.) But these folks aren't destitute, or forced into this decision. It is considered normal and makes things more convenient and practical...but not always easier :)
What a wonderful lesson for children to know that when someone is elderly, and perhaps in ill health, we don't put them away in a nursing home, or retirement center, but live together as a family. (In our case, 3 siblings, my father, our son and DIL, and some nieces/nephews and their families) all live within 2 miles of each other...it's a great support system and makes life so much easier, even though we're not all living under the same roof.
"Why is it only in America where we say, Youre 21, gtfo NOW."
That's really old. In our earlier history, many children were supposed to be on their own by 16, and most certainly by 18.
In other countries, children of 10 are earning a part of the income for the family, and by 14 or 15 are major contributors.
Only in America, do we think it is swell to have 26 year old "children" on their parents' health insurance. We coddle them much too long.
I'm all for it. Of course there will be friction, at times, but there's a reason why religious communities live in community. It rounds our sharp corners. It's humbling. It forces us to get outside of ourselves. Overall, it's a healthy thing.
The downside is children who won't work. Children who won't work have to be thrown out, as a last resort.
How nice, one of the kids is named 'Jihad'.
This was the goal of the progressives, who wanted to break down the family, and coincidentally, the industrialists, like Rockefeller and Carnegie, who knew that broken-up families produced more compliant workers. (See "The Underground History of American Education). Rockefeller and Carnegie spent more money establishing teacher colleges and schooling research, then all levels of government combined. And their methods were based entirely on behavioral psychology, or animal training. It was a natural fit in the heyday of Darwinism.
The Socialists in Prussia developed compulsory schooling to remove children from the home. For the same reason, Carnegie and Rockefeller promoted compulsory schooling in America.
Additionally, the Socialists sought to replace the church, as the source of charity, with the State. Bismark began the welfare state in Germany.
Finally, the communists sought to break down the moral order, because irrational people could be led around by their... natural tendencies.
Again, the communist desire to break down the moral order coincided with the goal of modern business practices. Edward Bernays realized that irrational people made good consumers. They were driven by emotion, rather than intellect.
I don't know. One side of my family had the multi-generational thing going. They all got along great and it was lovely to see. Will always remember all the "old folks" rocking away in the living room. I personally left home at 18 and NEVER could have lived with my parents . ...which is sad.
I would like it with my own family, but there would have to be enough room, separate entrances, and places to go to get away and be alone, or to get work done. Other than that, I'd love it ... I think what's important is that everyone minds their own business and keeps their mouths shut when appropriate. I think it takes a lot of mutual respect for everyone in the family for it to work ...
3 Generations in a shipping container
Could be a song...
We all live in a rusty Shipping Container!! (not a yellow submarine)
It's not just Mexicans doing that these days
Like I said... they ain't all Mexicans...
I have relatives (not that close) who have turned a house into a "flop house" - with all that entails... use your imagination...
The way the schools and media are making kids, I say if your old enough to have sex, then you are oldest to get out!
Until returning WWII vets and their families bought into the first wave of single family homes, the multi-generational home was just the way things were. Actually it can be a blessing, if the grandparents are willing to sit with the kids, if not every day for Mom and Dad to work outside the home, at least from time to time, to allow some 'away time'.
This is basically the end game, given our financial situation. It's the way it was in this country for hundreds of years, and it's the way most of the world has been for thousands of years.
It was only a couple of generations in time that we were wealthy enough to separate our generations - and we managed to blow that, BIG TIME.
Today we have "kids" who have been turned into selfish, entitled brats with no sense of decency. Who would want to live with that?
"Why is it only in America where we say, Youre 21, gtfo NOW"
You need to get out more. Oh, and study animals, too. I don't know any that keep the offpsring around past the point they cshould be taking care of themselves.
Let's turn your statement around: Why ISN'T a 21 year old adult taking care of themselves??? Just what kind of retarded child did your raise? How terrible of a parent are you to have failed to teach your child to thrive?
I started doing chores around the house and farm as soon as I was able to carry in a stick or two of firewood, probably by age six, I'm not really sure but by the time I had a two digit birthday I was plowing in the field with a draft horse, swinging an axe and pulling one end of a five and a half foot saw to cut firewood. By the time I was in high school I was expected to take care of my duties before and after school without supervision. I milked the cow and fed stock before school and again after school, after my older brother finished school and went to work I cut the firewood with a ONE MAN SAW and an axe and worked the little farm by myself, I just didn't plant as many acres as when my brother was helping. All of this is probably why I very eagerly enlisted in the Navy and left immediately after graduation to go to boot camp. I needed some rest!
and all those people think more liberalism and more socialism is the answer probably.
The Obama's wanted to destroy the American dream. "Middleclassism" they called it, this false idea that you should live better and be wealthier than your parents. The New Normal is here now.
Just like Southfork!
Read the last three pages of Harrison's "Make Room! Make Room!"
After reading some of these posts, I count my blessings. Mrs. OP and I have no children (by choice) and all siblings live far, far away. So, we live with lots of room in a very large house on 26 acres of woodland. Well, we do share our house with two dogs.

God gave us free will, without it we'd be robots, pointless and unable to become god-like.
Imagine God, alone, in eternity before creation. God desired companionship of intelligent, interesting, and good beings. He could create them ready made like that, but if he did he'd just be making mind numbed robots or at best little copies of himself. That wasn't inteeresting.
In order to acheive his goal, his pet creation (us), had to have the potential to become like him (hence being made in his own image). Humans needed to be able to grow, learn, evolve, and make choices.
I think that God hoped/planned that through millenia of learning, trials, and development, a new race of man that was wise, and good will emerge. In the meanwhile those who are good (potentially), get to go to heaven to await the final fullfillment of God's plans.
BTW. There is nothing wrong with this thread. It is an opportunity for us to engage phillosophically. Also non-Christians can have their say as well. I fully support Hagane, the Ice Nomad's right to make this thread.
Why must discussing God be seen as a religious event?

Xerox Corp. stock dropped Tuesday following the company's release of its third-quarter financial results.
The company reported year-over-year decreases in profit and sales driven, in part, by continued economic challenges in the United States and Europe.
Xerox shares (NYSE: XRX) were trading mid-afternoon at $6.50, down nearly 8 percent from Monday's close of $7.03.
The earnings matched Street expectations, but revenues were lower than expected.
Net income attributable to Xerox was $282 million, or 21 cents a diluted share, down from a profit of $320 million, or 22 cents a diluted share, a year ago. Excluding special charges, Xerox reported adjusted earnings per share of 25 cents, down from 26 cents a year ago.
Revenue was $5.4 billion, down 3 percent from $5.6 billion a year ago.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected Xerox to report earnings per share of 25 cents on revenues of $5.5 billion.
"Our third-quarter performance aligns with shifts in our business as services become a larger proportion of our revenue, and reflects the dynamics of a challenging economy that is creating cost pressures for large enterprises and governments," said Ursula Burns, chairman and CEO, in a statement.
Revenue from the company's services business was up 6 percent in constant currency, partially offsetting a 7 percent constant currency decline in technology revenue, which represents the sale of document systems, supplies, technical service and financing of products.
The company generated $594 million in cash from operations and is on track to deliver full-year operating cash flow of $2 billion to $2.3 billion as well as repurchase $900 million to $1.1 billion in Xerox stock during the year, the company said.
During the quarter, Xerox recorded net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $14 million, which included roughly $17 million of severance costs related to headcount reductions of some 870 employees primarily in North America. The costs partially were offset by $3 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives, Xerox said.
In the fourth quarter, Xerox plans to take a restructuring charge of $50 million to $100 million. Until the plans are finalized, the company's earnings per share guidance excludes this charge.
Xerox expects fourth-quarter earnings of 29 cents to 31 cents per share. Fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share are expected to be 33 cents to 35 cents. As a result, full-year 2012 earnings per share are expected to be 92 cents to 94 cents and full-year adjusted earnings per share $1.07 to $1.09.
Xerox ranked first on the most recent Rochester Business Journal list of manufacturers with 6,100 local workers.

Enjoy direct flights to Marrakech from London Gatwick with British Airways – you'll be there in no time.
Marrakech is Morocco's iconic and enigmatic walled city, full of old-world charm and exotic mystery. Experience a sensory overload as you wander its labyrinthine streets and vibrant markets searching for that perfect pair of jewel-topped slippers.
Marrakech has been a trading post for hundreds of years, the maze of souks in the Medina selling everything from spices and gold to pots and pans. Discover the stories of Djemma el-Fna square, watch snake charmers as you sip mint tea and listen to the captivating calls to prayer from the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque. Explore the areas outside of the Medina, like the glamorous French-feeling Guéliz in the Ville Nouvelle. Or venture to the relaxing gardens of La Palmeraie, where you'll find luxury hotels amid the tree-lined boulevards. For those looking to escape the city, you can experience the spectacular views of the sublime Atlas Mountains, or visit a Berber camp. Our flights to Marrakech will have you there in no time.
Exchange pounds into Dirham (MAD) before you get to Morocco, and take cash with you into Marrakech. There are very few cash points in the Medina, they are located around the Djemaa el-Fna but often they will not accept foreign cards. Shops will seldom accept card payments, unless they are high-street chains or big-name restaurants. The Dirham is a closed currency, so you will not be able to change back to sterling on departure. So get yourself a bargain in one of the souks.
Morocco is a Muslim country and has traditions regarding clothing. Dress respectfully and modestly. Men should try to cover shoulders and have knee length shorts, at least. Women are advised to wear longer skirts or shorts, have neck and shoulders covered and it is recommended to keep hair covered in rural areas. If women choose to wear a djellaba (a long, loose garment), you will be treated with more respect by Moroccan men, and be able to keep cool from the hot sun.
Try not to follow sign posts in the Medina, as they are wrong and will get you lost. If you need directions, ask a policeman or souk owner, but do not let anyone 'guide' the way. They will likely take you to a shop where you will be 'obliged' to buy something or give monetary rewards. The best way is to ask the shop owners to point you in the right direction. Whilst it can be unnerving, getting lost is one of the pleasures of Marrakech.
Marrakech's road systems can only be described as chaotic. Cars, mopeds, donkeys pulling carts, even big delivery trucks bustle through the city. Add a non-existent traffic system and you understand the need to be alert. If you get lost in the city, catch a cab. They are cheap, but you should agree on the price before you get in – 30 dirham should get you anywhere within the Medina. Keep money kept safe, preferably in a money belt, just to be cautious.
A few things to know before bartering in Marrakech. Be calm, smile and don't be afraid – it is just a bit of fun. Shopkeepers often speak a lot of languages, so don't presume they can't understand. Offer fair prices, as they are trying to earn a living – about half of the opening price is a good place to aim. Finally, walk away if you think they are ripping you off, they will often follow with a better offer. You can haggle with taxis, souks and also at cafés.
Look like you know where you are going, even if you don't. Never tell anyone where you are staying. Don't accept offers for tea, as this is an opening gambit. Be polite but firm when saying no – 'la shukran' (no, thank you) or 'mish eise hagga' (I don't want anything) will often work. Women should travel in pairs or groups, avoid physical contact with men, and wear modest clothes. However, if you are touched inappropriately, shout 'Shooma' (shame on you) and locals will intervene on your behalf.

Into October
Today I set out to slay some peaks. How many, I didn't know. I was feeling ambitious, but I knew I was heading into snow, and the possibility of a large chunk of terrain that was unknown, and I was alone. So I expected, even early in the day, that restraint would trump ambition.
I headed up the Mount Roberts trail, later in the day than I really should have. I had this crazy idea about looping around the Clark Ridge and connecting up with Granite Creek Basin. If it was early still, I even had grand illusions about hitting up Mount Olds. The whole thing would have involved six peaks and more than 10,000 feet of climbing. I didn't even begin to anticipate how much the new snow would bog me down while subsequently freaking me out. In hindsight, my original goal seems ridiculous.
But that didn't even seem to matter while it was beautiful and bright and I had all day to bask in the sun.
Gastineau Peak. 12:11 p.m. Elevation 3,666 feet.
Here's the part where I have to admit that I still don't own an ice ax and crampons. I didn't anticipate needing them - it was only 1-6 inches of soft snow, with a few deep drifts in spots. The gear wouldn't even have completely helped with the obstacles I met later, but they would have been nice to have, for sure.
Mount Roberts. 12:42 p.m. Elevation: 3,819 feet.
The stress started when I made my attempt on Sheep Mountain. I've only been up here once before. I'd forgotten how steep and exposed it can be in places. Much of the route up would be class 3 or 4 scrambling when dry, and today the rocks were covered in all manner of rotten rime, wet glare ice and crusty snow.
I didn't take any big chances, alone as I was, but I did spend more than an an hour working my way up to an unmanageable spot, inching back down, and then wandering around the perimeter of the face looking for the "easy" way up. I wasn't stoked on heading back the way I came, and still had the grand illusion of making it all the way around the loop, which wasn't possible if I couldn't summit Sheep.
I was less than 100 feet from the top when I was inching my way along a not technical but exposed spot and made the mistake of looking down. It dawned on me that if I slipped, at all, I was going to plunge 15 feet and break my legs or worse. The thought hit me like a brick, and I froze with the kind of focused fear that is aboslutely debilitating. I was paralyzed. I clung to the rocks for a few mintues, head spinning, eyesight dark, before I finally relaxed enough to slowly back off the ledge and regain my senses. All that time, I had good footing and a four inches of soft snow to hold me in place, but the fear of falling was amazingly acute. I didn't want to go through any more of that, so I made the decision right there to go back the way I came. But as I started working my way down, I spoted a fairly straightforward, deeply drifted ramp to the peak.
Sheep Mountain. 2:56 p.m. Elevation: 4,065 feet. I dropped the camera in the snow, so there's water all over the lens.
I'm bummed I didn't make the Clarks Loop this year, but it wasn't meant to be. Even with the right equipment and a partner, it still probably wouldn't have been a good idea. As soon as the sun started to sink enough that parts of the mountain fell into shadow, the wet snow froze solid almost immediately. I was lucky to have my own deep tracks to follow.
As always, I learned a lot. I'll be better prepared next time, or at least more cautious.
The day slipped away just the same. I was back at the tram just before sunset. It's closed for the season, which was disappointing. I was exhausted from stress and a day full of stomping through the snow. I could have really used a ride down.
Three summits. About 14 miles round trip. Total elevation gain according to GPS: 7,062 feet. Total time: 7.5 hours.

I concur Jill, never apologize for posting gloriously fantabulous photographs from your neck of the woods. They're always a treat, as is your writing. Keep 'em coming, and continue to use your better judgement when hiking in tricky situations. We wouldn't want anything to happen to our favorite wandering reporter!ReplyDelete
Please be careful out there. If anything happened to you, you'd be missed.ReplyDelete
I knew you survived because there were those beautiful pictures but I held my breath until you were back safe and sound.ReplyDelete
Hey there. Love the pics. I need to get down there sometime and run those mountians.ReplyDelete
If only is were a bit cheaper to fly there.
Gonna be interseting when you see how accessible all this stuff is when you get some skis!! Mountains are much easier to get around when there's a nice smooth coating of deep snow around them!ReplyDelete
Can't wait for 'training camp' to get you hooked!
Trams are for wimps! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Jill. I miss Juneau often - except for the rain. I've spent so much time on all those ridges - I love your photos.ReplyDelete
You inspired me to try to start chronicling my outdoor adventures in Colorado. Thanks for leading the charge and showing how to do it right. Now that I know how much work goes into these blogs - how do you do it? lol

David Guetta
Guetta's carefree attitude -- that he only produces good music while he's having casual fun -- kept the DJ from releasing anything until 2001's "Just a Little More Love." The track featured American gospel singer Chris Willis, who met Guetta while on vacation in France. Another slow burner, "Just a Little More Love," kept popping up in sets for the next two years, first in an electro version and later in a pumped-up Wally Lopez remix. During this time, Guetta snuck out a bootleg remix of David Bowie's "Heroes," retitled "Just for One Day." Bowie gave the go-ahead to release the track officially, and Guetta soon had a massive hit on his hands. Guetta featured the liberated boot on his first mix CD, F**k Me I'm Famous, named after Guetta's successful Ibiza-based party.
The fun-loving slacker DJ finally got around to releasing a collection of his own productions in 2004, Just a Little More Love on Astralwerks. Guetta Blaster arrived that same year, followed by Poplife in 2007. Chris Willis sang lead vocals on the latter album, which spun off multiple dance singles in multiple countries. F**k Me I'm Famous: International, Vol. 2 was then released in July 2008, giving listeners a taste of the stylish sounds that orchestrated Guetta's summer club events in Ibiza. A year later he released One Love, a platinum-selling album featuring the singles "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland, "Sexy B**ch" with Akon, and "Gettin' Over" with Chris Willis.
In 2010, Guetta received five nominations at the 52nd Grammy Awards, two of them related to the One Love album and the other three for his work on the Black Eyed Peas' massive worldwide hit "I Gotta Feeling." That same year, One Love was reissued as One More Love, featuring a bonus disc of remixes and new tracks. A superstar guest list -- featuring Akon, Lil Wayne, Flo Rida, Usher, Chris Brown, and others -- would figure into his 2011 release, Nothing But the Beat, but this time the DJ's songwriting was inspired by dramatic rock bands like Coldplay. In 2014, Guetta released three singles on his own Jack Back label, all of which were rounded up on that year's Lovers on the Sun EP. Later that year Guetta released his sixth studio album, Listen. Perhaps as a reaction to inadvertently finding himself a sort of unofficial godfather to the burgeoning EDM movement, the album saw him branching out of his electro-house comfort zone, experimenting with elements of hip-hop, alternative rock, R&B, and acoustic instrumentation, and featuring guest artists as diverse as Nicki Minaj, Emeli Sandé, Sia, the Script, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In 2015, the LP was reissued as Listen Again with new songs and remixes added to the track list. ~ David Jeffries

Good, comfy, and a little funky
"Fits my feet great but probably wouldn't be good if you're feet are particularly wide. Comfier than other Puma styles that often run too narrow. Sole feels great! Style has a little edge to it with the "tie-dye gray" band going down the side (but I really like it!)."

Happy, all fine
Quick service and reasonably priced, Arranged a pick up and drop off from my work place which was very helpful. Would definitely use them again.
Great Company did everything as described And work was done to a high standard maintaining the original price agreed despite it taking longer to complete Honest and Fair Company and a Rare find Highly recommended
I never give feedback straight away, as you can only tell the work has been done properly after a while. I drove a few miles since I got my clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder replaced and I must say everything runs butter smooth. Even though I didn't go for the lowest offer, I was still skeptical, but upon getting my car back, I knew this garage is decent. I really liked that the slave cylinder was fitted at no extra cost, despite this not being mention in my initial request. The owner offered to pick up/drop off my car too. I would say the only downside was the communication. It wasn't always as smooth as the clutch. Despite this, I give them 5 stars as I'm a technical guy and I only care about the end result. If you're looking for a decent garage with more than acceptable prices, this is the place to go.
very good honest garage just collected it drives well took just over a day to replace my clutch I think it would been done on time but they were sent the wrong parts I would recommend this garage and will use them again as they are very helpful and polite and seem trust worthy
Great job, on time, good value
Friendly, professional and quick service. Prices are very competitive and reasonable. I will definitely be using their services again. 100% recommended. Thank you, Ryan!
Ryan was great prompt replies to all messages. I needed some extra work done which he provided quotes for upfront and were very reasonable all done in same day. Would 100% recommend and use again! Thanks very much.
Came to my house and fixed quickly explaining how price varied by parts used. Competitive price (c100 less than Halfords). Unfortunately the brakes were sticking on my 12 yo car, so required another visit to fix. this was again done promptly and at no extra cost.
Turns out that it wasn't my exhaust afterall!! Ryan pretty much gave my car the once over and advised me on repairs that needed to take place on my ageing rattly car!! Great service// Efficient//Good communication through out// Car was picked up from place of work in the am and returned for my shift end. I couldn't ask for better service! Will definitely use him again if needed in the future. Thanks :)
Great service by David and his team
Great service from start to finish. Excellent communication from Dave. On time collection and delivery. Will def use again.
Absolutely brillant, would definitely recommend and use again!
All good, thanks for your help.
They never contacted me, though I tried to call them twice but no one to pick the phone
Marcus was really helpful, even helped with the purchase of the part.
very good service
Marcus is one of the most professional and courteous people i have had dealings with. He did a full examination and discussed the options available. Excellent service in my opinion Al
Excellent Service.Very reasonable repair cost.Very sincere and pleasant.. After a long time I found a mechanic,I can fully trust. Dr Raj Singh
After having sold a body part at Audi Dealership a week before for its annual service, they advised I needed a new rear tail light to pass its MOT. Completely incorrect, as informed by Nigel at Autotek shortly after dropping car off. Nataliea gave me a complementary lift into Chertsey. Would 100% recommend this garage for its Honesty and charging a fair price. Thank You
They supplied and fitted a new battery in no time. Punctual and super quick. I was even given a little report on my previous battery's performance.
Was not the most expensive nor the cheapest so felt that quote was honest. Collected and Delivered car - nice touch. Found Autotek to be flexible and eager to please. Good customer service. Final price was as per quote, so no nasty surprises. Based on my experience, would use again. Recommended
I found the garage to be very helpful and accommodating. I had a annual service and MOT and a reduced MOT as i had the annual service. All done within a couple of hours and they accept card on site. Danielle on the phone was very pleasant and informative and would be more than happy to use the company again.
I would highly recommend The Garage Walton. The price paid was cheaper than they originally quoted and substantially cheaper than quotes from other garages. Repairs were carried out in timely fashion and I was well informed throughout. Great customer service! Will certainly be taking my car back there in future.
Interim service completed on New shape A3 s Line no problems, £65 cheaper than Audi Walton.

It was a great experience. The studio is clean and have a nice decoration. The location is perfect..we really enjoyed our holidays in this studio. The only thing its really Small and for tall people is not good.
The lady that received us was really really amazing and nice. I recomend this studio for young people who love travelling
Everything was just perfect.
The location is perfect.Near all the all the main atractions...
And Salvatore and his cousin are perfect in everything We need...house is just like the photos...restaurants....bus...and all nice to enjoy just outside the apartament door
Salvatore is very sympatic and well organized. There where no problems with the studio. Everything was clean and in good conditions. Check-in and check-out was very straightforward. Thanks again.
I've stayed there with my wife for 4 nights.
I'd LOVE to recommend this place for those who are under 180cm (because it is very small and the ceiling of the bathroom and the loft are quite low.)
We enjoyed cooking with some fresh ingredients from Marche or super market Monoprix that was very close to the place.
Salvatore was nice person. We hope seeing him and staying there again!!
Thank you.
We really enjoyed our time in this appartement. It was exactly as advertised above. Salvatore was nice and helpful during the whole time of booking, organizing and staying. We would love to come again.
Accoglienza molto puntuale, ben organizzata. All'arrivo oltre a spiegare la gestione dell'appartamento il proprietario fornisce cartina dettagliata della città e un quadernone da lui creato con tutti i consigli per un piacevole soggiorno (ristoranti, luoghi da visitare, ecc). Posizione dell'appartamento ottima. Inoltre, quando si è verificato un problema con gli scarichi nel condominio, la risposta è stata tempestiva e in un'ora era tutto risolto.
Unica pecca l'appartamento è molto molto piccolo, più di quanto non si capisca dalle foto caricate sul sito di Wimdu.
Aangename ontvangst door Stefan,de neef van Salvatore.Hij heeft ons alles heel goed uitgelegd.De studio is leuk maar klein.Dat wisten we.Maar toch functioneel.Koelkast is zeer welkom.Kan je lekker ontbijten en aperitieven etc.Gelegen op de Place Garibaldi waar alles voorhanden is.Een Monoprix voor boodschappen.Je bent onmiddellijk in de oude stad.15min stapppen naar de zee.Bus naar Monaco,tram naar het station,shuttle luchthaven stoppen bijna voor de deur.'s Avonds veel lawaai maar ja,je woont op een druk plein met een groot restaurant onder je.Zeer gezellige vakantie voor ons.Ik zou de studio terug nemen!

Once a week, USA TODAY Sports will ask its many NBA experts to analyze hot topics around the NBA. This week's theme is players with something to prove this season.
Which ringless star is under the most pressure this year?
Sean Highkin, USA Today Sports: Carmelo Anthony. He can (and will) test free agency at the end of the season, and his recent comments about the process indicate that he's looking forward to being courted by teams. Before then, Anthony and the New York Knicks will have to prove that the rest of the Eastern Conference elite has not passed them by. The Knicks can offer Anthony up to $129 million over five years, and almost certainly will, but they'd feel a lot better about that investment if it came after a deep playoff run. Between the return of Derrick Rose in Chicago, improvements made by the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets and the Miami Heat's status as the team to beat, the East is as tough as it's ever been. Anthony and the Knicks will have their work cut out for them.
Jorge Sierra, Hoops Hype: It has to be Deron Williams. Anthony and Rose are under pressure too, but no matter what happens it's very unlikely their statuses as NBA stars is going to be questioned. That's not the case with Williams. Brooklyn comes off a disappointing year, and much of it was Deron's doing with his failure to start the season in shape and a subpar showing vs. the Bulls in the playoffs. So Williams really needs some redemption this year. He's the face of a franchise whose owner has spent like crazy in the summer to surround him with top talent. They are in absolute win-now mode and Williams has to deliver. Factor in the media scrutiny you get by playing in New York too... The pressure is sky high for him.
Another rocky season in Brooklyn and we're going to hear "bad contract" more than "star" when discussing Williams.
Yannis Koutroupis, HOOPSWORLD: Dwight Howard no longer has the distraction of free agency weighing him down or the immense Hollywood spotlight beaming down on him every second. He chose the Houston Rockets and now has to go out and make it work in order to regain his stature as the league's best big man and a certified superstar. The clock is ticking on Kevin Durant, Paul and Anthony. They all need a ring to help cement their legacies, but none of them stand to gain as much as Howard does from hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Sam Amick, USA Today Sports : Chris Paul is widely considered a future Hall of Famer and the best point guard in the game, but he has never even come close to winning a championship and has his best shot yet with the revamped Los Angeles Clippers this season. His New Orleans Hornets teams only reached the second round once and fell in the first round twice, while the Clippers reached the second round in his debut season in Los Angeles (2011-12) only to backtrack last May when they fell in the first round to the Memphis Grizzlies.
PHOTOS: 15 best point guards for this season
Other than winning a third ring, what accomplishment will boost LeBron James' legacy the most?
Highkin: Winning MVP this year would not only make James the first player to win the award three consecutive times since Larry Bird from 1984-86, but it would put him in a group with only Bill Russell, Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as players who have won at least five times. It's already impossible to deny James his place among the all-time greats, but putting him in that company would make him completely unassailable.
Sierra: Probably averaging a triple-double. He's the only player in this era with a shot of accomplishing something only Oscar Robertson has been able to do in NBA history. Anyway, it's an outside shot. He would really have to try hard to do it and it would take a lot of energy away from him during the regular season and LeBron James is obviously in the business of winning championships first and foremost. So among the more feasible things, I'd go with winning Defensive Player of the Year. In my opinion, he was deserving of the award last season. Only Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon have won MVP, Finals MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. Entering such a select group would certainly embellish his legacy.
Koutroupis: What would really standout on James' resume is if he could win the Defensive Player of the Year Award. He's coming off of his fifth consecutive all-defensive first team selection and was just shy of winning the award last year, coming in second behind Marc Gasol.
Defensive player of the year has been dominated by post players historically. In the last 25 years only three perimeter players (Michael Jordan, Gary Payton and Ron Artest) have won it. James becoming the fourth would be the biggest testament to his dominance he could make this season next to winning his third straight championship.
Amick: If LeBron James can win his fifth MVP title, he'll surpass Wilt Chamberlain while tying Jordan and Russell and coming within one of all-time leader Abdul-Jabbar. James will have to stave off comers like Durant, but a fifth MVP trophy in six seasons would be the sort of dominance that has never been achieved and will never be forgotten. Abdul-Jabbar won the MVP in five out of seven seasons (that run was interrupted by Dave Cowens and Bob McAdoo), then saw Bill Walton and Moses Malone win it before he earned his sixth MVP trophy for the 1979-80 campaign.
PHOTOS: 2012-13 NBA award winners
Which aging star could improve his legacy the most with a ring this year?
Highkin: It's not going to happen, but if the Los Angeles Lakers were to somehow win the 2014 title, not only will Kobe Bryant tie Jordan with six rings but he'll have returned completely to form after a devastating Achilles injury last April. A first title for two-time MVP Steve Nash, the oldest player in the league, would be a bonus.
Sierra: Nash. Sadly, it's not going to happen for him unless he gets very lucky with a trade to a contender or is willing to pull a Gary Payton and play in Miami for the minimum when his contract comes to an end. Anyway, I don't think the lack of a championship is going to be used against him as much as it's been done with others like Charles Barkley or Karl Malone. He's perceived as an overachiever. How many people expected he would end up becoming a perennial All-Star and two-time MVP? But obviously, a title would be a cherry on top of the cake.
Koutroupis :This season 30-year-old Danny Granger has the opportunity to go from a forgotten star to the piece that could put the Pacers over the hump in the Eastern Conference. He's not going to have to carry anywhere near the load he had to before his knee trouble started to get the best of him and he has the added motivation of playing for a new contract. If he plays a major role in the Pacers winning a championship not only will he be remembered much differently once his career is complete, he'll be handsomely rewarded financially as well.
Amick: For all the well-deserved respect that Kevin Garnett receives, the stories about his one-of-a-kind leadership style and two-way play, the fact remains that he has only one won championship in his 18 seasons (the 2007-08 Boston Celtics). If the 37-year-old can be the captain of this overhauled Nets roster and lead the way to a title with rookie head coach Jason Kidd in tow, the basketball world will know that Garnett's personality had as much to do with it as his play. He's a difference-maker when it comes to building a team culture, and we're about to see if that can make the difference with the Nets

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Commissioners held their second public hearing regarding the Community Development Block Grant for $175,000. The project the money will be used for is the replacing of all bathroom components including flooring and asbestos abatement in the Emery County Housing Authority owned low income housing units. There are 24, two and three bedroom apartments which will be included in the project.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said the grant has been issued, but there are a few more details that need to be worked out before the money comes in for the project. These are county owned buildings, but they are operated under HUD regulations and the employee that supervises the apartments works for HUD. "It has been a long time since these apartments were updated. They were constructed in the 1970s. There are units in Ferron and Castle Dale," said Commissioner Horrocks.
The commission approved the landfill employees to get bids for the metal pile so it can be disposed of in a timely manner.
Each year a contract is approved between the county and the Older Americans Act programs for the administration of the services for seniors in the county. The commission approved this contract.
The fencing project at the landfill has come in under budget and there is a $996 decrease in the cost. The commission approved the contract between the Four Corners Behavioral Health and the drug court.
Workforce Services has requested the county enter an agreement for a one year Worksite Learning project. If the Workforce Services places an employee with the county, that employee will learn valuable skills and the Workforce Services will pay the employees wages.
The county building is in need of repairs to the sidewalk between the county building and where the Castle Dale church improvements have taken place. Recent remodels there have left a gap in the sidewalk. The county will work with the contractors working on the church building to see if while they are there the work for the county can be completed as well which will be a savings to the county.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth reported it's fair time and encouraged everyone to come out and support the fair and rodeo. A new Miss Emery for 2011 was crowned on July 16. McCall Spears is the new Miss Emery with Olivia Burton as first attendant and Rachel Rogers as second attendant and BrinLee Hurdsman is the Little Miss Emery for 2011.
Commissioner James Nelson reported he went on a water field trip on Tuesday and checked out the water projects currently underway in the county. He said they went up Huntington Canyon to see the water diversion and new dam location and over to Joe's Valley. "I am impressed with the work being done to handle water in Emery County," said Nelson.
He also went on a field trip to the abandoned uranium mines where work will be done to close dangerous mine openings. Commissioner Nelson spent some time out in the field looking at trails throughout the Swell too and sees a need to include these trails in the Emery County Public Land Use bill.
Commissioner Horrocks reported Wayde Nielsen has been hired as the Road Department Supervisor to replace Morris Sorensen who recently retired. Commissioner Horrocks said he attended a meeting with the Utah Association of Counties on the land use bills. A representative from Washington County came and spoke about the pros and cons of their land use bill.
The Emery County public land use bill is currently in limbo. United States Sen. Mike Lee requested the county gain state approval before the bill is passed onto Congress and that process has begun. The county has met once with the Natural Resources Committee and will meet with Mike Noel. He is a State Representative and represents district 73 (Kane and Garfield Counties), lives in Kanab, Kane County. He is on the Natural Resources Committee.
The next commission meeting will be on Aug. 9 at 9 a.m. The Aug. 23 commission meeting will be in Green River at 9 a.m.

So before I destroy all the matrix, could somebody tell me what's i'm doing wrong?
I did get some RGB LEDs from ebay and I found that about three of the batch of 50 burnt out with only a few mA going through them. I also found that the red was rather dim on all but one of the LEDs. I think that some LEDs you get on ebay are actually from the reject bin.
I'll retry with a 1K resistor and keep you informed but basically that's what I did with the 27K so I'm a bit confused.
