Chapter 31
Moses sends forth 12,000 warriors who destroy the Midianites—The prey is divided in Israel—None in the armies of Israel are lost.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
13 ¶And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21 ¶And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses;
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 ¶And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that
28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord's tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord's tribute was threescore and one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord's tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
48 ¶And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 We have therefore brought an
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.

New poaching cases in Southeastern Utah
Since early December, three new poaching incidents have come under investigation by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources conservation officers.
Sgt. Casey Mickelsen is investigating the illegal shooting of a mature buck deer, which he located about one mile west of the Grassy Lake turn-off above Joes Valley Reservoir in the Manti LaSal National Forest.
The buck was left to waste, except that the skull cap and antlers had been removed. If you have any information about this case, please call Sgt. Mickelsen at: 435-820-6010.
Conservation Officer Ben Riley is seeking information leading to the suspect(s) responsible for two wasted bull elk that were dumped on Stump Flat just west of the town of Huntington in Emery County. These elk were most likely killed during the spike muzzleloader season. If you have information about these wasted animals, please call Officer Riley at: 435-820-6014.
In early December, Sgt. J. Shirley located two buck deer that had been poached about a week earlier in Lisbon Valley just off County Road #305 in San Juan County. Only the antlers were removed. The meat was left to waste. Please call Sergeant Shirley if you have information about this case at: 435-220-0526

Somalia: Line in the Sand--Identification of MYM Vulnerabilities
September 09, 2010
Authored by LTC Eloy E. Cuevas, Ms. Madeleine Wells.
Continuing instability in Somalia has increased concern that terrorists who seek to establish a foothold in Africa may use such insecure places as a safe haven and launching pad for future attacks. Several attempts have been made to establish lawful governments in Somalia; however, warlord and clan interests have managed to take center stage among the population. The Somali-based al-Shabaab (also known as the Mujahidin Youth Movement [MYM]) is a militant organization born out of both successive regional turmoil and international salafi-jihadi ideology, which continues to actively undermine the United Nations (UN)-supported African Union (AU) peacekeeping force, the fledging Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG), and all UN efforts to support Somalis in creating a stable state.

Louisiana Rain, CD (£11.50)
Here at Ace, one can often feel as though you are on a crusade not only to entertain, but also enlighten the reissue-buying public, and accord some overdue respect to those whose names are but strands in rock's rich tapestry. As a longtime Byrd fancier I have always been fascinated by the feathered folk rockers various offshoots-.-and generally I dig an overt country flavour within rock'n'roll, whether it be rebel-raw rockabilly, Beatles For Sale", or the gospel according to Gram Parsons. The Byrds and the Burritos get the recognition as the founders of country rock and rightly so, but I knew there were others whose trailblazing work lay obscured, like these intriguing 1967 recordings by the other Parsons, Gene, and his then musical-cohort Floyd 'Gib' Guilbeau. They were produced by the maverick genius Gary S Paxton (see Skip & Flip, Hollywood Argyles, Monster Mash and a thousand lesser known gems) for his Bakersfield International label, a vital if little-heralded outpost in the development of country rock.
LOUISIANA RAIN is the first time this fascinating, academically important yet hugely enjoyable country/folk-rock material has been issued on CD. At the time of these recordings, Gib (on guitar and vocals) and Gene (drums, banjo, harmonica and any other instrument you care to mention) were part of Paxton's regular session crew, in addition to performing nightly at the bars and honky tonks of southern California with the Reasons/Nashville West-.-the legendary combo that also featured bassist Wayne Moore and the groundbreaking guitar of Clarence White. Parsons and White of course would shortly join the Byrds, bringing with them the Guilbeau/Parsons tune Your Gentle Ways Of Loving Me, included on "Dr Byrds & Mr Hyde", although they always felt the original, as featured here, was far superior.
That says a lot about the sorely underrated songwriting talent of Guilbeau, who would later work with Linda Ronstadt, Swampwater and the Flying Burrito Brothers. The collection features early, yet classic, Guilbeau on cuts like Sweet Suzannah (later covered by Kris Kristofferson), Workin' On A Tugboat and Woman's Disgrace - a classy, hip country sound with added cajun spice. The many additional tracks include outtakes and home demos drawn from Gib and Gene's archives, plus rare related recordings - Guilbeau's 1969 single on Strawberry, Home Of The Blues/Lodi, and Bruce E Oakes' On Pins & Needles, both of which feature the Nashville West band. There is also the bonus of early folk-rock experiments like World Of Dreams and I'm A Fool, and the beans get fully spilled in the liner notes - correcting many of the misconceptions and half-truths out there concerning this fascinating slice of pop music history.
Researching this project saw your compiler travel many miles across the US to talk to a lot of different folks, not to mention spend countless hours sifting through hundreds of tapes. In the process I gained an enormous respect for these humble musicians - who all remain close - and their work, and began to realize how important their contribution was to the development of the California country rock scene. Rather than being longhaired dopers or starstruck Hollywood city slickers, Gib, Gene, Clarence and the rest of the Bakersfield International collective emerged decisively from the country side of the country/rock amalgam, and their music was less cynical and more innocently joyous for that.
(Of course, the perks of undertaking such an endeavour are worth their weight in gold, especially for a self-proclaimed groupie like myself: whether they be talking turkey with the great Gary Paxton as he helped me transfer tapes, getting to play bass on several cuts for Gib's forthcoming Beautown Records release "Songs I Like", or jamming on stage with three quarters of the Nashville West band at Gibs 65th birthday bash in Vegas last month. I can now die a happy man.)

Medical identity theft and healthcare scams have been around a long time, and unfortunately they can lead to an impact on your credit score, financial well-being and even your health. The newest -scams surrounding the Affordable Care Act are particularly insidious. Scammers are playing on both the optimism of people who hope to protect their families with affordable health insurance, and the confusion thats developed around how to obtain that insurance.
Using a range of ploys, identity thieves can steal or cheat you out of your personal information. Once they have it, they can use it to open new lines of credit. This type of fraud can cause a drop in your credit score.
Protect yourself from new healthcare fraud scams with these steps:

Really gets you into the Christmas Spirit??
I really love hearing Winter Wonderland to get me excited for Christmas!!
Really gets you into the Christmas Spirit??
I really love hearing Winter Wonderland to get me excited for Christmas!!
Oh....Johnny Mathis and "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"!!! When those first few notes start to play, I get sooooo excited and warm and tingly on the inside! Love it!!!
Definitely "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"
But "I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas" also works
I just thought about them and since no one else is home, I'm going to dig up my Christmas songs and listen to all of them.
"It isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree, not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of men then the Christmas spirit returns again." - Unknown
I love that one too!!
Any and all Andy Williams Christmas songs. When I was a kid, I had 2 different Andy Williams Christmas albums that I would play CONSTANTLY. As a result, his Christmas music resonates within me like no other, and it TOTALLY gets me excited for the season.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!
Rondo Veneciano... This music and also clip, just makes me feel the warmth of Christmas..
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
White Christmas I think
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.

Thomas "T" D. uploaded this picture.


text: Originally started in 2008 as the studio project of singer and guitarist Petie Pizarro, Amely have since been on the fast track to stardom. While recording the first Amely EP, On My Own, by himself in 2008, Pizarro recruited drummer Nate Parsell to add some more complicated drum parts to his songs. From there, the collaboration grew to include bassist Patrick Ridgen and guitarist Brandon Walden. The Orlando, FL quartet began to develop a highly polished, emotive sound reminiscent of All-American Rejects and Anberlin, and soon afterwards signed a deal with Fearless. The band went into the studio with Paramore producer Mike Green, and in 2010 released its second EP, Hello World. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi

Third season packs an emotional wallop as new characters, plotlines abound.
Steaming into the '20s, Downton Abbey comes roaring back to life.
Not that this exemplary period-soap was deadly last season by any stretch of the imagination; it's hard for a series this well-acted, and filled with this many well-developed and justifiably well-loved characters, to be anything less than entertaining.
But there was a troubling, even if slight, drop-off in quality in last year's run, as if the second-season attempt to tackle World War I jarred the show off its axis. Too many people wandered by without registering, and too many plot points wandered astray. In honor of the drama's fondness for discretion, let's just vow never to speak again of Robert's dalliance or the disappearing would-be heir.
Happily, all that is behind us, and what lies ahead for Downton fans is a first-rate run of episodes that feels less hectic and more tightly focused on the family core. Coincidences and narrow escapes still abound; this is, after all, a modern, faster-paced version of the kind of British landed-aristocrat romance PBS has always loved.
STORY: Regal return for 'Downton Abbey'
But this year, the twists feel better incorporated into the plot as a whole and pack a far more powerful emotional punch. At any rate, you're likely to be having such a great time revisiting this Abbey, marveling at a time when tuxedos were considered inappropriately informal and reveling in the lilt of the performances and the sly wit of the dialogue, that you won't much mind the occasional slip.
As the show returns, the family and their household staff are preparing for Lady Mary's (Michelle Dockery) long-hoped-for wedding to Matthew (Dan Stevens). The event brings a trio of special guests to Downton, none wholeheartedly welcomed by everyone: the now-pregnant Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay), a social embarrassment because of her marriage to the family's former chauffeur (Allen Leech); and to Lord Grantham's (Hugh Bonneville) even greater horror, his American mother-in-law, played by American Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine.
MacLaine's visit is shorter and has less impact than the publicity it has generated might indicate, but she does brings a star-power glow that can not be denied. And if her line readings are a bit stiff, she's mostly there to serve as a foil for the Dowager Countess — and any visitor who gives the redoubtable Maggie Smith more to do is a welcome visitor indeed.
Once again, Downton's residents and workers find their futures in doubt (a plot that does the show's best job yet of explaining why the estate's health matters to more than just the family), and once again upstairs and downstairs stories mingle and clash. They don't all quite click (Bates' scenes sometimes seem to have been borrowed from a bad prison movie), but writer and creator Julian Fellowes never allows any scene to linger for too long, and something better is almost always on the way.
With a cast this uniformly talented, the best actor often seems to be whomever was on screen last, but some do have particularly good seasons. Smith's Countess, who was sometimes reduced last season to an aphorism-spouting machine, is more fragile and real here without being any less amusing, while Phyllis Logan winningly handles Mrs. Hughes' strongest story yet. And don't overlook Elizabeth McGovern as Cora, who infuses Downton with her warmth, and sends a shiver through your spine when events turn Cora cold.
Like the season itself, it's a moment no Downton fan can afford to miss.

Hi. I came across your website while searching for information regarding the Americast tub. But, after reading the information you gave regarding toilets that work, I'm thinking seriously of changing my mind about the toilet I just ordered. The Kohler Memoirs round front. Chosen because it matches the pedestal sink I fell in love with. But no matter how much I love the look, I don't want to have to put up with a whimpy toilet. Right now I still have the old style toilet and if it was white I wouldnt be changing it at all. Do you happen to have any specific knowledge of the Kohler Memoirs round front toilet. I would GREATLY appreciated your opinion. Thanks, Mary Nesel/Hayward,CA

Saxton, Schalk beat world medallists
GSTAAD, Switzerland (July 11, 2013)– Ben Saxton of Calgary and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., (in photo) upset two top-10 seeds including the world championship silver medallists on Thursday at a World Tour Grand Slam beach volleyball competition.
Saxton and Schalk, fifth at last week's worlds, opened the main draw defeating 10th seeds Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel of Poland 14-21, 21-11, 15-13. A few hours later they swept seventh-seeds Ricardo Santos and Alvaro Filho of Brazil 21-17, 21-16, who lost in the final at the worlds.
The first year Canadian pair are first in the pool G standings and can get a bye to the round of 16 by winning their third round robin match on Friday.

I wanted something that I could easy take with me so that I will not miss the moments what could make a good stock photo.

beautiful, but....
"This shoe is gorgeous if you are looking straight down on it. What is difficult to tell from computer is that the heel is covered in the same material the shoe is made of, but in black. It makes the shoe look very cheap! Not to mention too easy to ruin, as it will scratch off and bunch up. Btw, it is a very, very high heel.Shame they didn't put a black wood heel on, it would have been perfect.Back to the store they went. :("

One approach is to bring the social functionality to users in their familiar application environments.
"What we're looking for in these social graphs are ways that we can uncover relationships that may be beyond our borders but might help us break into a market or a particular segment of a company that we hadn't before."

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- SpaceX scubbed canceled Saturday's attempt to launch six commercial satellites, the second scrub in as many days.
No new launch date has been announced.
SpaceX said weather was responsible for the scrub. Thunderstorms were violating weather rules throughout the launch window that opened at 5:46 p.m. EDT.
With storms smothering the Cape Canaveral area, SpaceX moved the targeted launch time to the end of the window at 6:39 p.m.
SpaceX provided no Webcast and no social media updates throughout the countdown, so it was not clear if problems that scrubbed Friday's first launch attempt -- fluctuating upper stage tank pressures on the Falcon 9 rocket -- or any other technical issues were concerns Saturday.
As of late last week, the Air Force's Eastern Range was believed to be shutting down next week for scheduled maintenance, potentially delaying SpaceX's next launch opportunity, unless one more try was possible Sunday.

Beheading of the Holy and Glorious Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John
The Gospel according to Matthew 14:1-13
At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus; and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him." For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet. But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter." And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; he sent and had John beheaded in the prison, and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus. Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

We introduced you to Stone Craft after we ran into the brand at Coterie in September—you'll recall the wild prints, vivid colors, and hand-administered designs. Says the brand, "Stone Craft is a premium denim collection that brings back the true California lifestyle with several extensions of the line using printed pants and hand-designed patterns. The concept came to Orly Dahan, designer for the collection while on recent travels. This exciting line is bringing a fresh, new take in the denim world and it will be a strong influence in the premium denim market." A print and denim expert, Orly Dahan had a line in the late '80s called Surf Fetish (love the name, don't you?) that was centered around the art of hand-made prints on finished garments—a lifestyle brand with a super CA emphasis on distressed pants and shorts. He hasn't strayed far from his original vision.
The line's styles range from women's prints, solids, and radiant hues in slim leg, skinny, boot cut, and wide leg flare. Cuts for men include straight leg, relaxed fit, and boot cut. They also come in a wide range of washes and prints. The jeans will be available at major department stores soon… We'll keep you posted!

Stay tuned for an exclusive Q&A with Orly Dahan!

Installed new bathroom Moen cartridge faucet and new drain assembly. Had a leak in P trap, fixed it by replacing washer as recommended by Terry Love in another post (see earlier post "New bathroom sink leaks") - Thanks to Terry for the help with that. However, the only problem I have left is that I have this catch-22:
If I don't tighten down the nut (also called the "pivot rod seat" that holds the pivot rod in the drain body quite a bit, water drips from it when the water is running reasonably fast. However, I have to tighten it down so much to get it to stop leaking that it renders the pop up stopper almost useless. That is, its so hard to pull up the lift rod that it is virtually unusable. If I loosen up the pivot rod seat nut a bit, then it goes back to being easy to lift the rod up and down, but the drip starts again. The drip comes out between the drain body and the pivot rod seat nut (dribbles out between the seat and the threads on the drain body).
I did NOT put anything on that ball that is on the pivot rod, the instructions didn't say anything about it. Should I have lubed it with something, would that help? If it matters, I installed it in the "easy removal" mode, where I can pull the stopper out easily for cleaning. Also, I did not put anything on drain body threads that the pivot rod seat screws onto, since its all plastic - I assume that is correct.
There is a small white washer/ring that goes in that pivot rod seat - does it usually matter which way you put it in? By that I mean, you can put it in one way, or, flip it over and put it in the other way.
I appreciate any help. This didn't seem like rocket science when I started...but its not as easy as it seems apparently.

very comfortable work shoes
"working in the medical field in a hospital setting, my hours are spent either standing or walking, sometimes running. that being said, i've also seen my fair share of rubber shoes. and i am so glad i came across these! they are lightweight; the first time i used them i had to adjust my balance for a bit because i wasn't used to shoes these light. the memory foam is thick and provides good cushion. they are absolutely divine for long shifts. an added plus for me is that they're slip on. saves me a little time in the mornings not having to pull up a chair to tie shoelaces. they're true to size. i usually wear socks with these for work but they're equally good worn without any as well."

Hewlett-Packard said Tuesday it is taking an $8.8 billion charge in its latest quarter to align the accounting value of a British company it acquired for $10 billion last year.
HP says Autonomy, a search engine maker, lied about its finances, resulting in a massive write-down of the value of the business. CEO Meg Whitman is avoiding calling it a fraud, but a company statement says there were "serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy."
HP (HPQ) shares plunged 13.5% as the market opened, pulling the stock to $11.50 a share, near a record low.
HP's net loss for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Oct. 31, amounted to $6.85 billion, or $3.49 per share. That compares with net income of $239 million, or 12 cents per share, in the same period last year.
It was the second mammoth loss in a row for HP. In the third fiscal quarter, it lost a record $8.86 billion, or $4.49 per share. That was due to a charge for another acquisition — that of Electronic Data Systems, a technology consulting service that it bought for $13 billion in 2009. In that case, HP didn't blame improper accounting, just results that didn't live up to expectations.
Excluding the charges in the latest quarter, HP earned $1.16 per share in the latest quarter, just above the average analyst forecast of $1.14 per share, as polled by FactSet.
HP's revenue was $30.0 billion, down 7% from last year. That was below analyst expectations at $30.5 billion.
On Monday, HP shares had surged more than 3% in advance of its scheduled fourth-quarter earnings report, raising questions about what might be afoot at the stumbling PC maker.
Rival Dell on Thursday disappointed Wall Street, reporting a 19% year-on-year decline in personal computer revenue. Dell's earnings disappointment was a harbinger of bad news for HP, analysts say.
HP installed former eBay CEO and California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman as chief executive in September. The move came after a disastrous 10-month stint by former CEO Leo Apotheker.
In August, Apotheker stunned the industry with a proposal to spin off or sell the PC unit, which accounted for more than $40 billion in revenue and $2 billion in operating profit last year. Whitman quickly reversed course on the move to jettison the personal computer business, but the uncertainty had already done damage to its business.
PC giant HP's stature as worldwide personal computer leader was toppled last month by Lenovo, according to researcher Gartner.

Really practical
"These are super light weight and gripping shoes. I wear them for light hiking and trail running. They feel like you have nothing on your feet. Usually I always have blisters the first few times a go hiking in a new pair of shoes but these seem to mold right to your feet. they are not heavy duty shoes so I would not recommend them for super long, wet, or rough hikes."

5 students charged in Nevada Union drug bust
April 22, 2013
Six Nevada Union High School students were arrested more than two weeks ago after a three-month undercover drug operation and a high-profile bust on campus.
But no criminal charges have been filed yet against the lone adult arrested, 18-year-old Forrest Cameron Good.
The juveniles arrested all have been charged, however, said Deputy District Attorney Ray De Jesus. Those five boys all face drug sale charges, and one faces an additional count of criminal conspiracy.
"They have been charged with sales based on documented hand-to-hand transactions," said District Attorney Cliff Newell. "But it's important to keep in mind that the focus of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitative and not punitive."
If any of the juveniles do get convicted, Newell stressed, it won't be a substantial detriment to their futures.
"If they are able to keep their noses clean, it won't have a horrible impact … other than learning a serious life lesson from this incident," he said.
The undercover operation that resulted in the arrests was a cooperative effort among the high school district, the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the Nevada County Sheriff's Office. An undercover ABC operative was placed on campus about three months earlier to investigate the distribution of illegal narcotics. He allegedly was able to buy marijuana, hashish and hallucinogenic mushrooms and negotiated the sale of Ecstasy and prescription medications.
Sheriff's deputies and ABC personnel descended on the NU campus at about 9 a.m. April 2 and arrested the six students. Good was booked and released on suspicion of criminal conspiracy and transportation of a controlled substance for sale.
Nevada County Deputy District Attorney Jim Phillips said Friday that no decision has been made yet as to whether Good will be charged, adding that some further investigation needs to be completed.
All six reportedly remain suspended from school until expulsion hearings can be held. No date reportedly has been set yet for those hearings, although the deadline is mid-May. Principal Mike Blake could not be reached for comment.

We have to try to push forward with fuel efficiency. If, as an engine engineer, I am given a maximum fuel load, I will try to give the driver the maximum horsepower possible, building the most efficient engine I can. It is a technical competition, and as efficiency is obviously good for road cars, that could be good for them as well. So we want to try to adapt the rules we have in the run-up to the new engine formula.
regarding air to fuel ratio, peak power is reached at an equivalence ratio of 1.15, and power gradually reduces as the ratio falls bellow this number.
The leaner the mixture becomes, the better the B.S.F.C., as shown in Fig12.
However with a ratio lower than 1.02, unsatisfactory transient response may appear, thus making the engine insufficient for racing performance.

About the same time that Sang and Wetli were working on planimeters, the Swiss mathematician Jacob Amsler was figuring out how to make the instrument smaller, less expensive, and easier to use. By 1854, he had eliminated most of the complex mechanisms typical of earlier designs, reducing the planimeter to two arms connected with a pivot. One arm was anchored at the end away from the pivot, and one arm traced the drawing. Because the pivot and both arms can move around the anchor, the motion of the tracer arm is graphed with polar coordinates instead of linear x-y axes. Thus, this form of planimeter is called a polar planimeter. Since the pivot moved back and forth, it traced an area whose net measurement was zero. This meant that the area traced by the tracer point exactly equaled the area of the closed curve the user was measuring. This area was equivalent to 2π multiplied by the product of the length of the tracer arm, the radius of the counting wheel on the tracer arm, and the number of revolutions completed by the counting wheel. Again, mathematicians today work out the detailed mathematics of the operation of Amsler's planimeter with Green's Theorem.
|U.S. Census geographers using planimeters similar to Amsler's model 6, ca 1940, ARC ID 6200720, Record Group 29: Records of the Bureau of the Census, 1790–2007, U.S. National Archives, College Park, MD.
By 1857, Amsler opened a highly successful workshop that sold 50,000 polar planimeters of six different types all over the world in its first 60 years. Other manufacturers of scientific instruments also copied his design, including Hine & Robertson of New York City and American Steam Gauge & Valve Manufacturing Company of Boston. A prominent Swiss modification of the Amsler planimeter is featured on the next page. Planimeters directly from Amsler or on his design were sold by American retailers to universities, engineers, and factory managers until at least the 1930s.

Instructions for Amsler's Polar Planimeter
- Description
- In 1854 Jacob Amsler, a Swiss teacher and mathematician, devised a planimeter that did not need the cones or wheel-and-disc constructions of earlier instruments such as 1983.0474.02 and 1986.0633.01. His smaller and simpler device also used polar coordinates rather than the Cartesian coordinate system. Amsler established a workshop to produce polar planimeters, and he built a network of agents in Europe and the United States to distribute the instrument. Over 50,000 polar planimeters of at least six different types were sold by the time Amsler died in 1912, and the firm continued under his son's name (Alfred J. Amsler & Co.) until at least 1960.
- This three-page leaflet was printed for one of Amsler's agents, Amsler & Wirz. Charles T. Amsler, a Swiss immigrant, and possibly a relative of Jacob Amsler, began to sell European instruments in Philadelphia in 1848 and briefly partnered with A. H. Wirz from 1855 to 1857. In 1861 C. T. Amsler sold his business to William Y. McAllister and returned to Switzerland.
- The leaflet shows a Type 3 Amsler polar planimeter and explains how to use the instrument. Amsler & Wirz sold it for $20.00, filled orders within six weeks, and recommended the planimeter to draftsmen, engineers, surveyors, ship builders, architects, and machinists. The year 1856 is written in pencil at the top of the first page, and the top left corner is embossed with the words "Turkey Mill" and a ship, presumably referring to the English paper manufacturer. The leaflet was found in the Museum before 1984.

Instructions for Amsler Polar Planimeters
- Description
- This undated large 4-page booklet is titled, "Instructions for Using Amsler's Planimeters." It describes and depicts nine types of polar planimeter sold by the firm established by Jacob Amsler in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, in 1854, but in less detail than the German-language pamphlet, 1986.0316.09. As in that pamphlet, the arms of Types 1 and 2 are equal in length, even though some surviving examples and advertisements such as Dietzgen's 1904 and 1926 catalogs have a shorter tracer arm. Dietzgen also sold Types 4 and 6 in 1904 and Type 4 in 1926.

..that makes you CRAZY that people say/do to you while you are with child .....you do not have to be pg now to reply..it can be things said from prior pg's.
No announcement yet.

Name one thing...Tags: None
The most irritating question to me right now is, "Are you sure you're not having twins?" I know I'm big, but for goodness sake, I'm 9 months pregnant! Another thing that bothers me is the question "Are you done yet?"... talking about having more children. Yes, I know I already have four children, but what business is it of anyone's if we have another child or not. It's one thing coming from a friend, but it's completely annoying coming from a random stranger in the store or on the street.
When I was pregnant for the first time several people asked us if it was "on purpose". (I'm talking about acquaintances not close friends.) Why would you ever ask that question of someone you don't know really well?
I found it especially strange because I was married and 30 years old. Perhaps they never thought of me as motherhood material?
my husband is Mexican, and in their culture they feed you till you explode. They also don't want you to do anything physical or your baby will be breach or whatever. Being my first pregnancy, I wanted to oblige custom. I also gained 50 lbs and delivered a 7.5 lb baby boy after 3 days of latent and 10 hrs of active labor. I was able to deliver naturally and had a good birth due to my youth and preparation, but I think I would have had a better pregnancy and would have still had ankles if I would have just smiled and nodded instead of shoveling food down my face.
The food though is so darn good.
I still have 18lbs to go to get back to pre preg weight, ds is 5 mos!

Honestly, I can't think of a single thing that annoys me. I don't mind the twins comments, but I suppose it's because I'm fairly petite and my belly overwhelms my body. I don't care if people touch my belly, in fact, I like that people love connecting with the unborn child. I laugh when my friends said, "Whoa, girl, your boobs have gotten HUGE!!!" I don't care if people remind me that I'll have my hands full in a few months or that i'll be a busy mom, because i know i will! most people say things in good nature, I believe, so I just accept it with a smile and the joy they are trying to spread.
LOL, the only thing that really bothered me, and even at the time I laughed at it because it was so absurd, was that my DH's grandpa was ALWAYS calling me, like 5 times a day, to see if I'd gone in labor yet.
"So, have you had the baby yet?"
"Uh, no. I'm positive you'll get a call when I do."
"So, have you had the baby yet?"
"No, I haven't had it in the 45 minutes since you last called."
Did he really, really think that no one was going to call him when his first great-grandchild was born? Even though ALL HIS RELATIVES live in the area? Did he really think he wouldn't know unless he called me several times a day?
For the next baby, we didn't let him know the due date, other than late February, so that he wouldn't hound me with calls. We did have to acknowledge late February, as his wife's bday and their anniversary is in mid-Feb, and we didn't want to cause any hope that the baby would be born on one of those days, which they admitted they really wanted.
But instead of heading it off at the pass, all it did was increase the time period of the calls! Instead of two weeks of solid calling, it was almost a month!
The last time he called I actually WAS in labor! In fact I had a contraction while I was on the phone, but I didn't want to let him know because then he'd be calling every 5 minutes instead of 45!
We laughed about it at the time though.

I hate being bored with the same old questions. and assertions that they know what sex it is because of the way I am 'carrying'. As always, if I know the people well its OK because I can tell they are truly interested, but the others just are doing irritating small talk.
I hate that when you are pregnant some people think that is all you are capable of talking about... and even if you WANT to talk about it at lease make it of more substance then the basics!

"A person is a person no matter how small" - Horton Hears a Whoo
I think what bothers me the most is horror birth stories! I had that happen with DS1 so annoying. Everyone is different and no birth is the exact same so why tell a pregnant woman a horror story about your birth when not asked. It's not like we can go back in time and not be pregnant anymore. And this time we are planning a home birth and some of our family is totally against it. Like I am going to put my child or myself in harms way! I finally started saying that so people will leave me alone. I had a semi natural hospital birth and am a very low risk pregnancy. And am confidant in my midwifes and my ability to birth a baby.

I was thinking the same thing... the way they can determine if its a boy or girl by way the belly looks, and be absolutely convinced..
I know this is an old thread, but....
An older woman approached me in the grocery store (like 2 months ago - I have 11 days left today!) and said "What a healthy baby boy you're carrying." I said "yes, it is!" and she then told me all about how she is one of like 10 kids, and her mother and grandmother had been the master predictors and never called it wrong over like 100 babies or something. It was really very sweet and I actually enjoyed talking with her.
I also enjoy sharing knowing smiles with other pregnant women at large - especially if they are preggo and toting a toddler, too!
Pregnancy just brings out that nostalgia in people - I'd rather leave them feeling warm and fuzzy than getting irritated (everything is so irritating at the end - I make an effort not to spread that around too much - jsut to DH!) about what they say. Most folks mean well enough.

How very positive of you! She does sound like a nice lady!
All of the cliche questions started to drive me up the wall toward the end. "How are you feeling?" "When are you due?" "Is it a boy or a girl?" "What are you naming it?" Even though it was all well-meaning chit chat, I would have rather talked about anything else...I was still a living thinking human behind the big ol' baby belly!Last edited by KristyG5; 05-07-2009, 03:50 PM.

When I was pregnant, nothing annoyed me either Rebecca.
I have been pregnant 12 times and only have three live children. I suppose that has something to do with the fact I was so thankful that my baby was surviving that I was thrilled to hear any an all questions.
I have a lot of contact with mothers who are in the same situation and they all feel the same way.
There was one thing that did annoy me after I was pregnant. People asking me if I felt it was morally right to do IVF and what defects have I noticed in my son.
Peace & Blessings,

replacement for PosiQuiet ceramic pads
Reviewed By Paul T (Weatherford, TX) Reviewed for a 2009 Pontiac G8 —12/20/2014 8:59 AM
I installed Stoptech drilled and slotted rotors with posiquiet pads 2years ago and they were a big improvement over the stock brakes. This last summer they became quite noise when used heavily producing a shuddering sound. StopTech white letter suggest that a switch to these pads and slight resurface should solve this problem. I have received the pads but have not installed them yet. I'll post the results wance I've tried them.

Comments: This is a very good string. I use it in the crosses with Dunlop explosive in the mains. This string softens
up the stringbed and is great for touch shots. I am a 4.5 player with a fast swing and this string holds up well and is easy on the
arm and elbow. I have played with a natural gut and this string is as good if not better than any I have played with at a fraction of
the cost. Give it a try you wont regret it!
From: Jeff, 2/14
Comments: When I first used this on a few Dunlop demos, I thought it was extremely harsh. I think that the Dunlop
demos were just strung at too high of a tension. I have these in my Prince EXO3 Tour (16x18) at 61 lbs and they feel very soft with
just a bit of crispness that I love. I've used almost every multi out there and this is one of the best. The closest one that comes to
mind is Wilson NXT.
From: David, 4/12
Comments: These are great strings to balance out my racquet. I used a Dunlop Aerogel 4D 500 Tour and it's pretty
stiff so the comfort offered by this string is definitely welcomed. The power and lively feel are just a added bonus.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The reaction to a column that concerned the election defeat of the standing sheriff in Emery County last week that appeared in the Nov. 9 issue of the Progress was swift and strong. During the week I fielded calls from many angry folks concerning that opinion piece.
So I thought a column concerning the opinion page and how it works might be in order.
But first I must commend the people of Emery County for their civil dialogue concerning the issue. I didn't have one phone call from anyone who yelled at me, or cursed me and with everyone I was able to talk to, we had what I considered to be a good conversation, despite the anger many of them felt.
In the end, I know I didn't satisfy everyones questions or concerns, but then the nature of the beast is such that those kinds of things don't always have a clear resolution.
So to the matter at hand; the opinion page or what is called "Commentary" in this paper. An opinion page is designed and designated to allow all kinds of opinions both majority and minority to be aired. Some of the opinions placed on those pages through letters or editorials do not always agree with the majority of readers. Usually at least some readers take issue with any editorial or letter that is published.
However the page needs to accommodate all perspectives. Since I design and put together the Sun Advocate's opinion page each week I am always seeing the various views of issues. I often print pieces I don't agree with, but that is the duty of a newspaper to do that, unless it designates itself to be one sided on an issue or concern.
If you look at the opinion pages in many papers, the staff written editorials do not have a name attached to them. They are authorless. By doing that, those opinions become that of the paper itself, because either an editorial board decided on the point of view or the paper takes the position that what their opinion page editor writes is their stand.
At neither the Progress or the Sun Advocate do we do that. I insist that all editorials, columns and letters have a name attached to them. In my world, our papers do not have an opinion at all, unless it is for the betterment of our communities. Opinions on everything from Obamacare to the elections in Emery County are relegated to the individual who is writing the piece.
Many people called to disagree with the column last week. Some were hurt, others angry, some say the editorial made them feel like the paper was trying to make the electorate of Emery County look stupid. Some had great distaste for the issues raised, others took issue with the fact that the present sheriff will have to face life without the job he has had for 36 years. Some were mad about the line "Emery County, what have you done?"
Looking at the vote totals, and the passionate calls we received concerning the column, it is obvious the author is in the minority concerning this subject. Some said to me that they could understand if this was printed in a letter from a citizen or in a guest editorial. Many said the editor of the local newspaper should never have written such a piece.
But would that be fair? Would that be right? Should free speech about a matter only be taken up by those who are not employed at a newspaper? Can't people who write in opinion pages as professionals have an opinion too, even if it is a point of view that some of the readership does not agree with?
In my experience, people often have a hard time discerning what is news and what is opinion. And that ability has gotten worse in these days of television networks such as FOX and CNBC, along with AM radio talk shows that portray themselves to be news and not opinion when one is really masquerading for the other.
We try in both papers to keep opinions out of the actual news stories and on the opinion page. That is not always easy, because we as writers often have opinions about things we see happening. But I tell my staff all the time to save it for the opinion page.
All views, that are not libelous or are not direct attacks on other people, should be aired in opinion pages. While many of you voiced your opinions on the phone, I think those that spoke to me and others should also say how they feel through letters to the editor. As long as they are civil and to the point, we will print them.
After all, just because you don't own the press, doesn't mean you don't have the right to be heard.
