Emery County Historical Society meeting recently covered the topic, "Going To My Grave, The Life And Disappearance Of The Mormon Scout, Levi Gregory Metcalf by Mark Blanchard."
Part 2: Blanchard said, "There were also several pueblo bands in New Mexico. The Utes were not so much a nation as they were an assortment of individual peoples that were related by kinship. They spoke generally the same language and moved in and out between various hunting grounds as the seasons changed. The Utes are going back and forth trading all along the way over a series of trails that we call the Old Spanish Trail. The trail is neither old or Spanish, nor even a single trail. It is first used just by the Utes and later the Mexicans before 1800 and stopped being used in the 1850s. It is a whole web of interwoven trails.
"The Mormons, when they arrived in 1847, started to use the Old Spanish Trails the Western half almost immediately. The Mormon Battalion used it to come back from California and they were coming back to the promised land. Captain Jefferson Hunt is the first Mormon explorer to exploit the Western half of the Old Spanish Trail, going essentially from the Salt Lake Valley down to Las Vegas following the Mojave River down to Southern California at Los Angeles. Working with Porter Rockwell he was the first person to take wagons and cattle through that area.
"Immigrant trains coming to Salt Lake would ask about and indicate they wanted to take the Southern route. They would ask 'will you take us?' So Jefferson Hunt starts going back and forth. The Western half of the Old Spanish Trail gets used quite a bit up until about 1855. On our map you can see how the trail ends in the San Diego Mission in Los Angeles and comes up through the really bad lands in the California desert, close to Death Valley, though Vegas, through St. George. They ignore the Navajo lands as they are fierce fighters. For the most part travelers continue up through Cedar City, through Panguitch, cut off through the Sevier River Valley and Fish Lake. They sometimes cut across the top part of Capital Reef. They may stray a little North on a branch around the Salina river country. Then they start coming through Emery County near Castle Dale up to Price River. That is considered the peak of the trail. From there the trail descends Southeast over two equally used branches. One a North route and the other a Southern route. The South route cuts through Cortez and Durango, Colo. straight through to Santa Fe. The North route goes up through Grand Junction and Montrose into the high plains of the central valley in Colorado. The maps shown were taken from the Old Spanish Trail web site. You can still see a remnant of the Old Spanish Trail in the Salina Canyon if you know where to look.
"We have the Indians going back and forth over this route and then we have the Mormons going over the Western half, but not the Eastern half by 1847. About this same time we have that evil nation to the East threatening our kingdom, the Federal Government. The mountain men were quite familiar with the Eastern half of the trail, because they had come up largely from New Mexico in search of beaver and other pelts. Some of the most important mountain men for that part of the country are Jim Bridger, Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith, he died at an early age. Smith didn't live long enough to tell tall tails. That is a pre-requisite of fame. You have to live to a certain age to be able to spread your story. Antoin Rubidoux established a series of forts in Western Colorado and in the Uintahs near Duchesne. He was trading with the Indians in the 1830s and 40s. The mountain men got here, saw everything, knew what they were seeing, gave names to what they saw and took those names home and shared the information with the gentiles. Unfortunately they did not share this information with the new comers the Latter-day Saints.
"In the early 1850s all of a sudden this other nation to the East decides that it wants our kingdom and they send out their scouts to find a way through to find the best places to live and to take control. They send out some of the famous scouts of the gentile nation (meaning the US Government of course), John C. Fremont he was Kit Carson's leader. One questions who really was the leader, because every expedition when Carson was Fremont's guide ended in success. When Carson was not his guide the expedition was a dismal failure and people died. In one case they ate each other to survive, before they got back out to civilization. That punctuates why it is a good idea to have a scout that knows what he is doing, a scout that knows the people, knows the language and knows the land. If not you may end up in the snow eating each other.
"We know about Captain Gunnison, we have a town named after him one county over. He died by Sevier Lake in 1853. He ran afoul of the wrong Indians.
"There were other scouts traveling through Emery County in the 1850s looking for better ways for the railroad to pass or better ways for the pioneers to come here other than on the overland trail.
"When it became apparent that these Federals were coming with ever increasing frequency and in ever greater numbers, our king decided that he had to do something about that. If his people weren't in place, in the good spots the gentiles would come quickly and take the good spots. Starting about 1852 Brigham Young decided to send colonists out, to convert the Indians, and settle in the good spots along any trail leading in or out of his kingdom. One of those trails was the Old Spanish Trail that headed toward New Mexico. It became important to send out someone to explore what we call Emery, Grand and Carbon counties. Green River in 1853 was found by one of those gentile explorers. He did not get lost, he knew where he was going, knew what he was looking at, knew what the names were that the mountain men had given to those spots and got through the ordeal fairly easily, because they were careful and had mountain men as guides.
"The problem came about when Brigham Young decides to send out his people none of them knew where they were going. We do not have any relations with the mountain men. We do not get along with them. In fact they are rivals. We do not get along too well with the Indians either. We have to rely on family men as guides. We have an on-again, off-again relationship with the local Indian tribes. But we have some brave men who are willing to take a chance and lead into the unknown. It is amazing to me, they literally did not know where they were going or what they would find. We have no indication in history that the people living in the Sanpete Valley knew what was over here in Emery County. Some from the Gunnison area may have hunted a little bit over here.
"In 1854 Brigham Young decides it was time to send people into settlements. He sent eager people on two historic missions. The first was the Huntington Mission to the Navajos, led by one of the Huntington brothers, William D. Huntington. All of the Huntington brothers were said to be rooten-tooten wild Western characters. William was from Springville. Strangely a lot of these fellows came from this little town. Levi Gregory Metcalf lived in Springville and he had a very good Ute Indian sub-chief as a friend. That Indian was called High Forehead. He was a Timpanogos sub-chief. High Forehead agreed to take a group of men into the unknown, into the Ute mountain stronghold. He did do that and got into big trouble with the other sub-chiefs. He was showing the white man the secret Indian trails Chief Walker and others traveled.
"William D. Huntington and his men packed up two wagons with trade goods and what few guns they had. Huntington said in his report to Brigham Young, 'A more hazardous work I have never undertaken in my life.' He did not think he would return. He thought he would be killed. His mission was to do two things. He had to go to the land of the Navajo, from which no one had returned alive. They would let you in but never out. He had to make peace with them establish a trading mission and make friends. The Navajo hated all contacts with the outside world. The other thing that he was told to do was go deep into the unknown and find the land of the missing Welsh builders. There was a common belief back then, that there was a people that lived in stone houses, in the middle of the desert in Southeastern Utah. They lived like people in Europe, they lived in castles. Brigham Young had heard about these people and decided to send someone to find them. He chose William Huntington for this chore.
"They departed in October of 1854 after harvest time. They started with wagons loaded with plows, with shovels, with hoes. They hoped to teach the Navajo how to farm. Little did they know that the Navajo already knew how to farm. These are heavy loaded wagons. They do not have very many weapons. They do not have many horses instead they have mules and oxen. They stop at Manti. They had the help of the Indian guide High Forehead, guiding them into Salina Canyon. They know about the existence of Gunnison's trail and the Old Santa Fe Trail. They were able to follow the Old Spanish Tail and Gunnison's trail pretty well.They are not aware of any short cuts. They do not know of the watering holes or any of the best passages. They are poking along in Salina Canyon hoping not to be shot, hoping not to die of thirst and hoping not to get lost.
"When the missionaries get into Salina Canyon they see their first wonder of all wonders, an Indian pictograph. It is high up on the cliff face beside the road. No one knew what this meant. The Utes knew that it was not made by them but a people long gone. But it was treated with great respect by the Indians and Mormons.
"Most of the early pioneers when they saw this land thought this was ugly country, because it had no usefulness, it was dry. A pretty country was a country you could raise crops, where you could raise sheep or cattle and support them. These pioneers' main concern was where the water holes were and they moved from water hole to water hole. If you do not know where the water is it is very risky traveling through this area. When you do not find water you have to keep going until you do. Some traces of the trail they followed can still be seen today. The Indians and the Mexicans that traveled these trails did not take wagons. The first people to take wagons were Jefferson Hunt on the Western half and Greg Metcalf and the Federals in 1853, 1854 and 1855.
"On that famous Elk Mountain Mission to the Navajo Nation. the missionaries crossed the Green River and headed down South towards Moab and they got to the area around arches where the road goes down to the entrance to Arches National Park. There was no road down in those days and there was a cliff face they could not easily get down. They took their wagons apart and lowered them by rope to keep going. The continuing trail did not look much better so they eventually gave up on the wagons. They buried the wagons the plows, shovels, etc. and supplies, with the exception of the perishables, in the sand on a bench above Saddle Back Creek.
"The missionaries then continued on into New Mexico to a village called Rock Point in Arizona. The Navajo saw them before they saw the Navajo. The scouts for the missionaries were quickly surrounded by Navajo Indians, capturing Greg Metcalf and his Indian guide High Forehead as unwelcome invaders of their country. They tied the missionaries up and threatened to kill them. They were threatened with burning at the stake and other forms of torture. It was only through the talk of the Ute Chief High Forehead that they spared Greg Metcalf's life and offered himself instead. Things looked very grim until another Ute Chief shows up with his horseback riding warriors. Together the two Ute Chiefs and the Navajo Chief and the Mormon Chief William Huntington did the impossible. They actually sat down and decided perhaps there could be a mutual benefit in trading with the Mormons. Perhaps you have skills we can share. This became the first trilateral Indian Mormon peace conference in Southeastern Utah.
"After peace was established and at the end of the Indian, Missionary conference the Mormons asked, 'Have you heard about the white Welshmen.' The Navajo said yes. 'We will take you to them.' They were then taken to what the Navajo called, the cities of the white fathers. These are ruins of what are known today as the stone buildings in the Hoven Weep National Monument on the border of Utah and Colorado close to the Four Corners area. They do not look very much like castles, they are not very big, and there are only a few of them. The Mormon missionaries thought the buildings were only a few hundred years old. The Utes and the Navajos view these stone buildings with great respect and would not go into them. Greg Metcalf may have been the first white man to enter these buildings. The missionaries explored and examined the buildings and pottery shards found around them. They tried to understand what had happened. William Huntington concluded these were the lost cities of the Gadianton robbers and that is what he reported. They weren't quite sure the Gadianton robbers were not still around and no one returned to visit that area for 40 years.
"The expedition then continued Northeast farther into Colorado for a time and then angled to the Northwest back into Utah and to their cache of supplies. After the crossing at Green River, Greg's horse got loose from the hobbles. When Greg found and caught his horse he was following a day behind the others. He followed High Forehead's marked trail up Price Canyon and down Spanish Fork Canyon to home. These explorers did not know what they were looking at by name as they traveled through Emery, Carbon and Grand counties, they then gave every creek and mountain a name. These names were different from the names given by the mountain men who had traveled through the area earlier. William Huntington being the leader had the right to name some of the mountains, streams and land marks they saw. In general they named many of the land marks after members of the missionary party.
"They called Ferron Creek Stewart Creek after Jackson Stewart a cocaptain. The town of Huntington is named after Huntington Creek possibly a name given to it by William Huntington. Most of the names given to land marks by the missionaries are lost. This trek happened in 1854. The first settlers came to Emery County in 1879. This trip to the land of the Navajo formed the basis for a later trek called the Elk Mountain Mission led by Levi Gregory Metcalf through the Moab area. On that trek they thought they were at the Elk Mountains but were only at the Manti LaSal Mountains. The real Elk Mountains are over into Colorado," said Blanchard.
As a final note, Blanchard put on the screen photographs of early pioneers in the hope that some in the audience would see a relative or say that is my grandpa. The group then began to discuss the photos and brief histories of their ancestors, like the Huntingtons and the Ivies.Books can be purchased from Carole B. Oldroyd, 409 E. 1000 N., Springville, Utah, 84663, or Gregmetcalf.com, or Mark Blanchard at 801-704-9175. Dottie Grimes thanked everyone for coming and Blanchard and his mother Carolyn Oldroyd for an interesting informative evening.

What would you do for your child?
I know that I'd give any of my children a kidney. I come to their defense and I tell them when they're wrong. I love them bigger than the sky. Did I forget to mention give them money? We won't talk about that.
It was the same when I was pregnant. I changed many habits for the sake of my babies. I ate differently — and no more beer on a hot summer day!
Undoubtedly, you'll do these things and more. After all, you want to do everything in your power to ensure a healthy baby. For your baby's sake, please add the Tdap vaccine to your list.
The CDC recommends the Tdap vaccine — which offers protection from whooping cough (pertussis), tetanus and diphtheria — for all pregnant women, regardless of when you had your last Tdap or tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine. Ideally, the vaccine should be given between 27 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.
Whooping cough can be especially dangerous — even life-threatening — for infants. Getting the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy can help protect you from the infection and might also help protect your baby after birth.
As you plan for the new person who'll soon be a part of your life, add the Tdap vaccine to your list.

Back in the fall of 2012, I went for my yearly physical. One of questions I got from the N.P. -- was, when was the last time you had a Tetanus shot? She had nurse give me the tetanus shot. In a few days after that I got real sick. I thought it was bronchitis, but my daughter who is a R.N. mentioned that the possibility they gave me the Tdap besides. After about two weeks I was looking through my Baby book and my Mother had written in it about having the Whooping Cough. After the 3-in-one short. The Pertussis (Whopping Cough) I got my bill in mail shortly after that which is stated I had the Tdap shot. She never asked if I had any allergies to what was in the shot. It took my quite awhile to get over it. So when they ask you if want a shot, ask them what is in it. You might get more then you bargain for!
Seriously? This is a Mayo Clinic website. Would you be similarly skeptical of information on effective cancer treatment provided by highly-trained medical professionals posted to this site? I doubt it. Rant all you want about vaccine conspiracy nonsense. The truth is, no one posting here has had the misfortune of witnessing the terrible, painful deaths brought about by many of these diseases which are now preventable through proper vaccination. They used to wipe out entire families. You don't need to look much further than statistics on maternal/infant death prior to the medical advances so many "natural health proponents" take for granted to realize there is no conspiracy at work here- just science and a conscientious approach to public health. Just because you have a viewpoint doesn't mean you are an expert. Until you are, vaccinate your children or please keep them clear of mine and everyone else's!
How dare you recommend this vaccine. The product monograph from the manufacturer themselves states NOT recommended for pregnant and nursing women. This is an FDA drug NOT approved for pregnant women.
Any woman who takes this, is taking a drug with NO studies on the effects of this drug on them or their baby.
Wow ... I am disturbed and now looking at this site as one that does NOT look after women's health and babies.
As an obstetric health care provider, it is my responsibility to inform women about all current recommendations from those organizations that are accepted as experts in the field. That does not relieve me of the need to know why the recommendations have been made and discuss them with women. Pregnancy is a very unique event, two people to care for and one so very vulnerable. We only have animal studies to predict how a medication or treatment will affect the baby in the short term and long term. We can look at a medication or treatment with hindsight to predict long term effects, but there is no real-time information.
I will always advise women to learn all they can on a subject and make the best decision they can based on information from respected sources. You can discuss with your provider if he or she does or does not support the recommendations and why. Discuss benefits, risks and alternatives to the recommendations. Work as a team to do the best thing for you, your baby and your family.
My Midwife suggested this vaccine for my next visit, and when I asked about the risks, trials, and how long it's been done on pregnant women, she fumbled, said they've only been doing it since November 2012 & that she had no information about the risks but that the CDC recommended it be done. It would be one thing if there were 5 or more years of experience and history with this vaccine during pregnancy, so we could see if there are any side effects that effect or harm our babies, but with it being only 7 months in, the oldest baby who's mommy was given this would be at most 6 months old. At that age, there's no way to tell is the babies are experiencing side effects such as developmental delays etc. Personally I feel it's not worth the risk, and was very uncomfortable with my midwife fumbling to avoid giving me answers since she honestly didn't have any. (She eventually told me that flat out.)
how dare you recommend this vaccine...have you even read the clinical study trial results SO FAR on this recommendation...not to mention THE STUDY IS CONTINUING UNTIL 2014...By suggesting this is completly safe this early on is abusing the trust we as patients have in our dr's as well as abusing our trust in the cdc....get your facts straight before you openly try to convince women and children to make an irriversal decision..
We are NOT vaccine deficient. Mamas, please, do not start injecting these synthetic toxins, bacteria, viruses and adjuvants and heavy metals like aluminum into your body. You HAVE an immune system, USE IT! You do NOT need to inject this fear mongering nonsense into your body to protect your baby. Pregnancy and birth area about as safe as life gets, it is exactly what nature intended for our species to survive. To say you are putting your unborn or your newborn at risk because you didn't get some vaccine which has only been used in pregnant women in the last few years (even after millions of years of life on earth!!!) is ludicrous and the insanity should be labeled on those suggesting such a thing not those questioning it.
PLEASE mamas, read the inserts that come with these vaccines. SEE that there is ABSOLUTELY NO (0) research on these things regarding pregnant women, newborns, children etc. And any of these drugs tested on anyone is always done in sickly, 3rd world countries so they can select only the info they want you to know about.
PLEASE RESEARCH EVERYTHING, do not just stick this stuff into your body. You can support your body to use it's own functioning immune system and protect your baby as Nature intended. You are NOT vaccine deficient!
Seriously? You avoid all toxins possible when pregnant, you stay away from tylenol, lunchmeat, fish with mercury etc, but you are willing to inject toxic ingredients into your body for an unproven relationship between this vaccine and "transferred immunity"? There are NO studies that says this works, in fact this vaccine does NOT work per the CDC's own facts. 85% of the cases of whooping cough this year were in the fully vaccinated. I am so tired of the medical community pushing vaccines.
I have been seeing a very interesting PA the last several weeks during my pregnancy. I have had multiple problems with her throughout this time. Today, I asked to receive the whooping cough vaccination - after she first told me wrong information about receiving the shot, and insisting I fill out paperwork about the flu shot rather than the paperwork for the whooping cough shot we were finally on the same page.
The nurse came in to administer the shot and told me it was going to hurt really badly. I hate shots and I turned the other way. I never felt a thing, not even a poke! She said I didn't need a bandaid and sent me on my way. My question is - shouldn't I feel like I got a shot? Everything I've read says the TDaP is one of the most painful shots and I should be sore for several days. Like I said, I feel nothing, can't tell where it was can't see anything... Did I get the right shot!?
@ Maddie
Please discuss the need to get the booster within a year a booster with your care provider. None of the MC's I work with would recommend a 2nd dose this soon.
I am not an MD. I don;t know you medical history. Neither do any of the other commenters.
Wishing a heallthy pregnancy and beautiful birth
I wanted to give you a link to the CDC so you can review the information available.
This is for parents.
The next link is to the CDC vaccines site.
Please post a link to the studies that have been done to show the safety of this vaccine on pregnant women. I've heard too many stories about medicines that were once believed to be OK only to find out they were not.
I'm at 25 weeks and I got the Tdap about a month before I got pregnant. Should I get the Tdap again toward the end of the pregnancy?
Elizabeth, I would make arrangements to get the shot and not wait for the birth. It will give you more time for the baby to get the passive immunity.
Do I need to make arrangements to get the tdap shot or will they give me the shot in the hospital? I am currently at 37 weeks.

Graham's newspaper ad seems to have settled it
It seems that the American Family Association's only message is simple and straightforward: Republicans are good and Democrats are bad; the only reliable news reporters are Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity; all Muslims are terrorists; and the ACLU is destroying our religious liberties and undermining the very fabric of our civil society.
On Oct. 18 I was listening to Today's Issues on American Family Radio. He had a preacher on who said he had visited Dr. Billy Graham at his farm and that Dr. Graham had pretty much led him to believe that he was not going to vote for Obama. The preacher, David Jeremiah, seemed very pleased by some news he received from Dr. Graham concerning an upcoming full page ad.
Mr. Jeremiah never actually said who he was going to vote for, but he sort of left the impression that it sure wasn't going to be Obama.
Not to be outdone, Mr. Wildmon spent the last several minutes of the show pointing out his own unflattering recitation about the president.
A day or so later I was watching the network news and they reported something that was very enlightening. They reported that Dr. Graham had placed a full page ad in the paper encouraging people to vote their faith.
I guess that settles it. All you Mormons vote for Gov. Romney; all you Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Jews and otherwise affiliated, vote for someone else. Be careful what you wish for.
Rex N. Weathers
Obama's dream would weaken the America most of us love
What are the dreams of President Obama? The answers are revealed in his book, "Dreams of My Father," and his chosen friends and mentors.
His father, Barack Obama Sr., was a Marxist and radical anti-colonialist. As an avowed socialist, he believed money should be redistributed to the former colonies. He glorified how communism had liberated Africa and Cuba, and that commumism was going to save the world.
In 1987 at his father's grave, Obama said, "It was in my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself." Obama had embraced his father's dream.
Who were Obama's friends and mentors? In Hawaii, former communist Frank Marshall Davis for eight years; at Columbia, Edward Said, a member of the Palestine National Council, who supported armed resistance against Israel; at Harvard Law School, Brazilian socialist Roberto Mangaberia Unger, who advocated an equal distribution of global resources. Other friends include terrorist Bill Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright and convicted felon Tony Resko.
Obama loves to quote, "We are our brothers keeper," and "To whom much is given, much shall be required." Obama, a multimillionaire, has a half brother, George, living in a hut in the slums of Nairobi. He has never aided George or any
family member, though they are living in poverty.
Is Obama realizing his dream? He is weakening America economically and on national defense, taking from the private sector and increasing the size of government. The government now controls much of the automobile industry, health care, banking and finance. While blocking oil drilling and the Canadian pipeline, he has bankrolled oil drilling in Brazil, Columbia and Mexico. Through the EPA he has practically shut down the coal-mining industry.
Obama's belief in spreading the wealth around is not limited to America as seen by the shipping of green jobs and drilling to other countries and his reliance on the U.N. and other world organizations. Considering what has happened in the last four years think what might happen when he has more "flexibility."

Pool B revs up the Round Rock/McNeil rivalry early. The Mavs and Dragons will familiarize themselves as they prep for their regular season game on October 19th (Mavericks' homecoming). Connally may be a 4A team, but will prove they can hold their own with 5A on turf. Orlado Thomas is no longer with Cove, but they'll field a competive group. Pool B kicks off at 9am on Dragon Stadium turf. Here's our preview:
Round Rock Dragons (District 16-5A, Head Coach: Jeff Cheatham)
The Dragons keep it 'all the family' as Tyler Gerds (little brother of last year's starting QB, Garrett) takes the QB reins. A healthy Sam Lawliss returns to make the Dragons legit. A bevy of proven underclassmen return with Varsity stripes. We'll get to see one of the area's best corners in Brandon Bullock. We'll keep the film rolling.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch List (Round Rock Dragons)
RB Deandre Story*
DB/WR Dakari Antoine
DB Brandon Bullock
DB Brandon Roberto
DB/WR Sam Lawliss
QB Tyler Gerds
LB/DB Brandon Zaleski
LB/DB Zachary Pleasant
McNeil Mavericks (District 16-5A, Head Coach: Lee Penland)
We recently visited the Mavericks spring camp, and this team is pumped. They made a trip to the State tournament in College Station in 2011, and could repeat this Summer. It looks like a QB tandem of Colton Russell and Jordan Robinson. Both will get needed pass reps with speedsters Ryan Murphy/Nick Parinella. We'll get our first look as Zach Vaughan transitions from defensive end to safety. Skill players like Donnie Holmes, Matt Zebrowski and Joseph Miele make McNeil a threat to win it all on May 26th.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch List (McNeil Mavericks)
WR Nick Parinella
WR Ryan Murphy
DB Zach Vaughan*
RB Matt Zebrowski
QB/DB Colton Russell
RB Donnie Holmes
DB Toroti Oke
DB Cameron Terrell
Connally Cougars (District 17-4A, Head Coach: Howard McMahan)
The core of a playoff-bound team is in place. QB Dajon Williams and RB Dae Payton are now the elder statesmen in the locker room. Their maturity could fuel a 4A run to remember. LB Michael Egwaugu will get a chance sharpen his footwork while defending the pass. The Cougars were one of the highest scoring units during last year's Summer sessions, and should have similar success in Pool B.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch (Connally Cougars)
RB Dae Payton
WR Luther Yamthe
QB Dajon Williams
LB Michael Egwaugu
DB Eddrick McDonald
Copperas Cove Cougars (District 12-5A, Head Coach: Jack Welch)
After running into Rowlette in the postseason, Copperas can't wait to get back on the field. Thomas is gone, but the King may take the throne. Vondereaz King was the only sophomore on Varsity last year, and for good reason. He'll be fun to see up close at Dragon Stadium. Cove will come to play, so our Austin-area teams will need to be on their toes. Key in on the following players:
Fanstand Skill Player Watch (Copperas Cove)
WR Rashuan Gibson
RB Chans Colbert
RB Vondereaz King
DB Demarkos White
DB Kincey English
WR Fabian Valenzuela
WR Robbie Seybold
Pool B Projections: This is the biggest toss up Pool of the four that take the field on May 26th. We tend to say McNeil, because they have 'been there, done that' in a state qualifying tournament. The skill players at Round Rock are too good to ignore. Connally excels in this arena, and Copperas Cove won't make the long drive to simply lay down. May the best team win...

Frasier (1993)
769 mistakes
Starring: David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, John Mahoney, Kelsey Grammer, Peri Gilpin
Vote on Frasier and more TV shows at The Big Fat List
Something About Dr. Mary - S7-E16
New this week Audio problem: After Mary says "Except I bet you didn't walk through a metal detector to get to class", Frasier in that shot does not move his mouth in line with the dialog that he speaks, but instead appears to be laughing. Additionally in the next shot, although his mouth now matches his dialog, he is half way out of his seat despite being sat in it in the previous shot.
The Kid (2) - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Frasier and Roz are talking at her apartment, the mug that had been sitting on a tray moves off the tray and is sitting right on the table.
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: Niles and Marty are in the kitchen and Niles is coaching Marty on how to pretend to be Jewish. While they are talking, the lid on the sugar bowl goes from being on properly to being askew, even though no one touched it.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Poppy are sitting on his couch having a drink, the level in the wine bottle goes down and up and down throughout the scene, with no logical reason.
Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Frasier is playing the piano and Martin is going through papers on the table. When Marty says "I don't know, Eddie, must you?" there is something pink lying on the table. The shot goes back to Eddie and then back to the table, but the pink item has disappeared.
Roz, a Loan - S6-E9
Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are talking to Marty about the spa. As they speak, the magazines on the coffee table shift about 6 inches even though neither of them touch them.
A Midwinter Night's Dream - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When Martin is giving Niles ideas on how to win Maris back, the food on Martin's fork changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: Roz goes to Frasier's to tell him Luke has been seeing someone else - while they are drinking in the kitchen, the level of her drink changes without her drinking or having a refill.
You Can't Tell a Crook by His Cover - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Martin are looking at Frank examining the bowl, the cards on the table change position.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Martin are yelling at each other about the mess on the carpet, Marty is holding a red plastic oil container. In one shot there is a noticeable dribble of oil on it, but in the shots before and after, it is clean.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier asks Martin "Where are your pants?", Marty is holding the ice cream carton underneath, but when the shot changes and he answers, "In the fridge", he is holding the carton by the side.
Martin Does It His Way - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: Just after Daphne moves the urn from the table to the bookcase, the brown files on the table change position between shots.
Something About Dr. Mary - S7-E16
Continuity mistake: When we first see Daphne's wrist brace it is on her right arm. In the end credits its now on her left arm.
You Scratch My Book... - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Niles is holding his raffle ticket booklet over its envelope as he picks up Honey Snow's tape. As he says "insightful, isn't she?" the raffle booklet is suddenly under the envelope.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the show, Frasier is explaining to Niles how he was stood up that evening; at the same time he is getting himself a glass of sherry. Niles says, "there was no emergency", we see Frasier repeat the actions to get a glass of sherry all over again.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Roz and Frasier are in Cafe Nervosa, and she is snoozing, while a half-eaten muffin sits in front her. As she wakes up and talks to Frasier, the muffin appears whole again. She leaves and Martin comes in and takes her seat. A shot then shows the muffin as half-eaten again, even though no one has touched it.
Agents in America, Part III - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: When Frasier is watching, and complaining about Xena, his hand alternates between being on the arm of the sofa and on his leg between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Niles knocks the shoebox on the floor, he goes to put the banana on the table, but pulls back with it still in his hand. When he runs over to inspect the fireplace, the banana is nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: While Martin is saying grace, Eddie is sitting right on his backside staring at Frasier, who yells "will you stop staring!" The next shot, from behind Eddie, shows him noticeably leaning over on one haunch, even though there was no time for the change.
Dad Loves Sherry, the Boys Just Whine - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: Frasier tells his father Maureen wants to break up with him, and Marty heads for the kitchen, leaving his blue container of stomach medicine on the credenza. But as Marty passes by the dining room table, he suddenly has the container in his hand again.

Did not see that coming actually, so does he lose his Quincy powers (If he had more than one to begin with) and keep Vizard powers instead?
Did not see that coming actually, so does he lose his Quincy powers (If he had more than one to begin with) and keep Vizard powers instead?
Ok say OMZ was trying to fool Ichigo, for what purpose? If Ichigo discovered he had Quincy powers nothing major would change. So even tho I'm interested in this plot of OMZ = Bach (some point in time) what was his reason for lying? And also, why didn't Shirosaki tell Ichigo what was happening.
@ Zero,
Obviously I disagree that OMZ was using Quincy techniques in the image you showed us. Your own Manga reference showed that OMZ told /reminded Ichigo of "when he was a Shinigami" he stopped himself in mid=air, we have seen other shinigamis doing it too, all your images showed us was OMZ trying to prompt Ichigo to use his shinigami powers, in order to save Ichigo's life. If OMZ actually knew how to use Quincy powers, and if he really wanted Ichigo to survive, why didn't he propmt Ichigo to use Quincy powers instead?
In any case, Juha Bach said that Ichigo 's Quincy powers only awakened with Blut, what reason would OMZ have for not teaching Ichigo Quincy techniques like Blut, if these could have saved their mutual lives in their previous battles without Ichigo being aware of the source of the powers or even caring for that matter?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
After that, he tells him to use his Shinigami Powers, because as Urahara explained, only by becoming a Shinigami, can he stop the Hollowification. Not to mention that he says to him that he should find his Shinigami Power and when he uses that spiritual cloth sense, only one red cloth points to Zanpakutou and none point to OMZ who is a personification of power, but a different one.
There is one more thing, it actually seems that Ichigo have met OMZ way in the past, for example this page:
"Who am I ? What are you talking about ? It's me *****", his reaction is way different from Zaraki's Zanpakutou. Zaraki's Zan says something like this:
It says: "it's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance". As you can see, Zaraki's Zan knew that they never met and thus there is noway that Zaraki could know his name, but OMZ, implies that they have met and that Ichigo perhaps even should know his name.
On the next page it's:
"he can't hear it...", it's not shown who actually says it, but the "..." implies that there is a small pause to contemplate what to do next... plus, it actually seems that OMZ answer to that statement by "is that so ?" and changes his strategy. It's quite likely that this is the point, where OMZ started to pretend to be his Zan. Of course, from how it looks, it seems that he did it for Ichigo's sake, since at that point in time he had completely no ground to communicate with his Zan, thus without his intervention Ichigo might have likely turned into a Hollow and be killed a second later. Still, it's unknown if this was his will or his mission.
In accordance to the above, there is one line of Ichigo that sounded disturbing (it sounded like memory erasure a little), that whenever he met again with his mother, all the bad things, thoughts, memories seemed to vanish, well something along those lines (I'm not sure what chapter it was). Now, this actually could mean that Masaki was suppressing the Quincy Power in Ichigo and perhaps altering memories, as well as it would explain why OMZ thought that Ichigo should know him, while Ichigo had no clue.
All this cryptic remeber me, hear my voice type craparonie is typical. The experiences of shinigami meeting their Zans are not too far different from Ichigo and OMZ's. I think Hyourin Maru and Toushirou were similar to Ichigo and OMZ.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Hm ? Nope, from the looks of it, this actually didn't take place :p. Chapter about Hitsugaya was a prequel for the Diamond Dust Rebellion Movie, the same way as that prequel chapter for the Hell Verse Movie, in other words both are fillers and non-canon, or so it seems. Most of those specials for the Movies are filler, so by this logic the one about Hitsugaya should be as well, but you never know .
All that's known is that he gained his Shikai while still being in the academy (and that is also from other source than manga , from the official book or something along those lines ).
Speaking about Toushiro it's quite obvious that Hitsugaya was never a Human, after all, Human Kids don't have white hair. Which means that he is likely a pure blood Shinigami.
Anyway, Renji calls the Zan Spirit as the True Form of Soul Cutter and since it is a "true form", there is really no sense for it to change it's shape when it already is in it's true form (even when between Asauchi and Shikai the inner spirit doesn't change it's form, so why would it change from Shikai to Bankai ?):
thus it again points towards OMZ and Tensa Zangetsu being completely different inner spirits.
This would make Fusion Zangetsu the True Form of Ichigo's Zanpakutou, while Whitey and Tensa as it's split parts and OMZ as only his Quincy Powers.
Also the previous hints about how OMZ gather spiritual power from around and what he actually explains to Ichigo is rather important, after all the Quincy were already established at that point, it would be strange for Kubo to make mistake like that, when the chapter with Quincy wasn't that long ago (back then it was like 20 chapters ago).
Doesn't Renji's own Zanpakutou change shape and appearance from Shikai to Bankai. and if you mean the Inner Zan, Well Ichigo's not a regular Shinigami, besides we haven't really seen enough canon inner Zans to be sure of anything.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Yep, that's the hard part. Ichigo is special in itself and we don't have too many normal cases to compare. I guess doing it like this Kubo won't hit a wall that will only be overcome a plot-hole, as long as he doesn't reveal too much, he can change it anytime he wants by only adding a notion that Ichigo is a special case . Though it really does seem that Kubo intended for OMZ to be Quincy Powers from beginning, or at least now that I know what to look for it's easier to find, so perhaps it is just written in that manner . For example OMZ gathering energy from surrounding, could be explained by simply saying that his surrounding is Ichigo's and his own power (they are in the inner world after all), so drawing upon them is like drawing from within. Though now that it was revealed that he is Quincy Power, the first possibility makes more sense.
Oh right, remember when someone asked how Oetsu knew how OMZ looked like ? Well, remember the Hot Spring Demon when he was explaining how his hot spring works ? He asked if Ichigo remembers the hot spring in Yoruichi's Playground. Since it was created when Urahara and Yoruichi were young, this mean that the Royal Guard was able to observe what happens there from their Palaces. Finally, that's where Ichigo trained for Bankai and in order to obtain it he summoned OMZ. The whole Royal Guard was probably like: "wow, what's Bach doing there ?" . Thought I would prefer if Oetsu could see the Inner Spirits within Shinigami (after all, he did create Zanpakutou in order to drawn them out, right ?).
It's possible that Ichigo might not need to say goodbye to OMZ, as long as OMZ will stay beside Ichigo without the risk of betraying or leaving him. Then I can see Ichigo even forcefully including him in the Zanpakutou if Oetsu were to not agree to do it.
I expect to see some flashback of the previous encounter between Ichigo and OMZ with a little different notion, or more information revealed, like for example showing what he actually calls himself at first when he says: "Who am I ? What are you talking about ? It's me *****".
Oh right, now that I think about it, OMZ was never shown to be calling himself Zangetsu, but rather only others were calling him that. The part where he was to call himself always skipped or was camouflaged.

Nicola Jarvis, artist and hand embroiderer,
Royal School of Needlework
Nicola Jarvis was one of the 'unknown' embroiderers who worked together to construct the lace for Kate Middleton's wedding dress. In this guest blog post, she explores how anonymous craftspeoples' identities can create a sense of mystery and magic.
My artistic practice is a work in progress that has been evolving ever since I could hold a pencil. During this journey, I trained as a hand embroiderer at the Royal School of Needlework in the early 1990s. Over the last two decades I have worked on numerous commissions for the Royal School and contracts for a multitude of companies and private individuals. Most of these jobs have involved making stitched items or artworks for which, after payment, I received no further acknowledgement for my craftsmanship. This has become the norm for me, and my colleagues working in the same industry.
To create a well-crafted object through an intimate relationship with the materials and process of making constitutes much of the job satisfaction.
The history of material culture is made up of hundreds of thousands of anonymous craftspeople that have made objects as a livelihood, to enable their survival and that of their families, with no thought of recognition for what they do.
I am currently in Delaware, USA, at the Winterthur Museum attending an international needlework conference where 230 delegates are examining and discussing the work of English and American embroiderers over the past 400 years. Some of the makers' identities are known revealing fascinating stories of where, why and how their needlework was made. Others remain hidden and it is only through detailed study of their craftsmanship that we may construct our own narratives. I think this mystery creates much of the 'magic' that surrounds an object with a potent mix of unanswered questions and possibilities.
When I began my training at the Royal School of Needlework, it was the mastery of skills and process of making embroidery that was of utmost importance to me. When working the lace for the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, 20 years on, this was still the case.
I played a small part in a process that involved a large team of highly skilled needlewomen realising a very beautiful textile in the history of object making. Our stories and relationships are bound up in that dress, made with a commitment to, and a passion for, our craft. The individual and/or joint identities are not imperative, rather the collective energy and mastery of the materials and techniques is what will always be valued and celebrated.
Nicola's embroidery short course at the Museum starting on Sunday 6 November is now fully booked, but take a look at other events in the Grayson Perry: The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman programme.

|In response to Re: Rerouting (black?) heating pipes
: : I'm planning to reroute heating pipes in my basement. (I'm not a plumber). They are rather low and to make the area more useful I want to cut a section of the pipes, raise the whole thing and rejoin them with compression fittings, elbows, or whatever.
: : The system (old gravity, now pumped) has mainly 2 inch pipes, plus a couple of other sizes but I'll be darned if they don't look like black pipes, not galvanized.
: : How could black pipes have lasted so long with hot water running through them? House was built in 1932. I've been here for 21 years.
: : Can I use black pipes? Can I join them to galvanized without corrosion problems? Can I use narrower pipes since it is now pumped?
: : Thanks for any answers.
: BEEE CAREFUL, ORLANDO. If you admit you aren't a plumber you are exposing yourself to some headaches you might not be ready for. The piping is heat pipe? Is this a steam system? Steam Boilers generate a higher pressure product and a much hotter exposure. The reason steam piping is held away from wood frame house structural members is for fire protection. Gravity steam piping on the return side of the system needs to be lower than the supply side, all the way back to the condensate return pump. If you raise this piping up to say two inches from the subfloor and the floor joists, and in winter these lines get to 460 degrees, you are creating a potential fire trap. The age of the wood in the house is exactly like adding seasoned kindling wood to a fire to get it started. The condensate return needs to gravity fall back to the condensate return pump as an assist to relieve steam pressure in the event a pressure relief valve opens up. If you raise the gravity lines and create a condensate trap, you create a pressure cooker, as well as create a hard water condensate waste trap that is extremely ionized and corrosive to the pipe and fittings. The boiler cooks the water so hot that the oxygen molecules leave the normally 7 ph water and depending on the system, could attack the different fittings you might want to use.
There is no way that a residential steam boiler could generate steam hot enough to ignite a piece of newspaper much less wood framing.
galvanized pipes can generaly be added to black iron pipes because they are the same material. The zinc coating on the galvanized pipe will make it last longer and to a slight extent will also help the adjacent uncoated pipe.
Black iron pipe lasting 68 years????? Not likely.
Spend some time tracing the lines and make sure you have the system figured out before you do anything. This just doesn't sound right.

Katie LeClerc stars in Switched At Birth. In the show, she plays a deaf teenager coping with life in the hearing world. What you may not know is that Katie herself is also hard of hearing. She has Meniere's disease, an inner-ear disorder that can cause severe hearing loss over time. It is possible that her hearing may get worse as she gets older.
Q: Tell us about your character in the show.
Katie: Daphne is a normal, typical high school girl. She plays basketball on her team. She's got boyfriends. She's got good grades. And she's deaf. It was really exciting to be able to portray that. I learned sign language when I was 17. I learned it in high school. When I was 20, I found out that I had Meniere's disease and I am very, very, very fortunate that I will be able to communicate for the rest of my life, because it gets worse over time. I thought, I would not leave my daughter alone in the deaf world and not teach her. It's amazing how many parents do and because of that I learned sign language.
Q: Do you do your voice on the show?
Katie: I do speak in accents on the show. We mapped out Daphne's hearing loss and what that would mean for her accents. So I trained in dialect and worked on that very hard.
Q: Did you get any advice from [deaf actress Marlee Matlin] about Deaf culture?
Katie: I've had some great conversations with Marlee. The Deaf community has a different perspective on the world than the hearing community does and I think this show's gonna be a great bridge between the two worlds and I think we're hopefully going to be very successful with that.
Q: Did you ever feel you wanted to switch lives and not have Meniere's disease?
Katie: There are definitely symptoms and some times are harder than others but my sister's is far more progressed than mine and to see how her struggle goes and see what she does is sort of inspiring and I'm lucky 'cause I get to know what I have to look forward to so I can prepare for it. There's really nothing you can do about it so I just try to keep a positive attitude. I've acted for ten years and I've had the great opportunity to play this role. I've been very fortunate as far as this goes.
Q: Has anyone not wanted to cast you because of it?
Katie: Most people are unaware of my hearing loss.
Q: If you lose your hearing, will you still speak? Have you thought about what it would be like?
Katie: I think that I'm going to embrace the moment that I've been given right now and take it one day at a time. But I have every plan in the world to continue with my career and keep up with the good work.
I think that's good advice for anyone, no matter who you are! What do you think? Will you be watching Switched at Birth? Let us know in the Comments.

I have a Woodford Model 25. Whenever, I turn the water on, it leaks tremendously from around the stem behind the handle. At my local Lowes, I found a Woodford repair kit for the exact model. Is this what I need to fix the problem? Also, I have done any type of repair like this before and know absolutely nothing. Do I have to turn off the water supply first? If so, would that be located in the basement near the same lines where I turn off my sprinkler system in the winter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My colleague Tiernan Ray has his eye on CNBC
Bloomberg TV , where Bill Nygren of the Oakmark Funds just said the firm is building up its Apple (AAPL) stake. Other companies he likes include Intel (INTC) and Oracle (ORCL). From Tiernan:
Q: Have you been adding to Apple?
BN: Yes, we have.
Q: By how much?
BN: I can't comment on the size. After the quarter is over, you'll see the new holdings we have in the Oakmark Fund.
Nygren wouldn't reveal the price at which he's been buying Apple, Tiernan recounts. Oakmark I (OAKMX), which has beaten the S&P 500 (SPY) on a five-, ten- and 15-year basis, didn't include Apple as a top-25 holding at last disclosure, according to Morningstar.

Yesterday Was A Good Day!
These ladies were two of the children of David Sampson and Mary Jane Mitchell Sampson. This is how I am connected to them. My 2nd great grandmother Rosa Mitchell Jones was their mother's sister. I have to send out a huge thanks to a gentleman by the name of Michael Grushinski who had this wonderful picture of my 1st cousins 3x removed. Thank you for sharing your memories of them with me. This picture was taken on the family land sometime during the 1960's
You know I can't stop smiling!

Thanks True! It was such a great way to start off my day. Like you said thank goodness for acts of kindness like this.Delete
Aww, I like the pics too with the cornfield or the two rows of corn in the background. Funny I read the related post about the sisters and I recently went to a birthday party (80th) for my grandfather's niece. Well another niece recall their grandfather which was my great-grandfather as being light skinned (Is that how you supposed to say it? LOL!) with RED freckles and she meant RED freckles. I guess I need to find out where these red freckles come from, besides Nash county, NC.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Minnie, yes it would be interesting to find out where those red freckles did come from. Don't you love hearing stories like that? Thanks for stopping by :)Delete
My wife took the picture about 1967 when her family was visiting the Grushinskis. We are looking for another picture she took of Annie and Effie on their porch. I'll scan and forward it to Michael when we find it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh wow! Thank you so so much! My mother and I were so thrilled to have seen this picture. Thank you and please pass our thanks on to your wife as well.Delete

Castle Rock's economic leaders hope the town agrees with them when it comes to an urban renewal authority.
The Castle Rock Economic Development Council, with the help of town staff, has invested months of research into a URA to trigger economic growth.
The research was launched after the town lost a number of potential new businesses because of the shortage of commercial and retail space in Castle Rock, said Frank Gray, president of the EDC.
"We have a very low vacancy rate in Castle Rock and no blocks of contiguous space available," Gray said. "There's no room for growth or expansion. We needed to solve the short- and long-term space issues."
While the economic development council considered a number of options, the URA emerged as the front-runner, with a solution that opens the door for property owners to tap into financing secured by the potential increase in property value.
To justify the establishment of an authority — which would encompass all of Castle Rock — the town must meet one of the state's 11 factors for blight, according to a report from the consulting firm Ricker/Cunningham, which conducted a blight analysis for the town.
In Castle Rock's case, the town meets nine of the statutory factors for blight, Ricker/Cunningham reports. The factors range from environmental contamination of buildings or property to unusual topography or inadequate public improvements.
Once an authority is established, it opens the door for property owners to apply for consideration to declare a property blighted and establish an urban renewal area — or boundary — on the property. To establish an urban renewal area within the authority, the proposed area must meet four of the state's blight factors.
The application for an urban renewal area must be accompanied by an urban renewal plan, an agreement unique to each area that could contain provisions for tax increment financing. Tax increment financing dedicates the future increase in property taxes to the authority, which has the ability to apply for bond financing to make improvements on the property.
The typical urban renewal area is one where there is a development challenge that prevents the private sector from developing the property, said Mark Stevens, town manager.
As an example, the economic development council points to a parcel in Castle Rock with commercial potential that sits on an old landfill. The cost of mitigating the environmental issues created by the landfill is prohibitive to private development, effectively rendering the property undevelopable, Gray said.
If the property could qualify as an urban renewal area, TIF money could unlock the economic development potential on the property, he said.
While a TIF should be considered as the last piece of the puzzle, the tool is pivotal to triggering the growth potential that sits stagnant in such properties, Stevens said. To qualify for an urban renewal area, the potential increase in property value must be sufficient to support a bond issuance and the developer must demonstrate the area is needed.
"If we don't do something, the value of the property won't increase," Stevens said. "People argue that we should wait out (the real estate market), but we have properties in Castle Rock that sat vacant in the best real estate boom in the history of Colorado. There's a problem to be solved."
Among the issues debated with establishment of an authority is the dedication of future property tax growth to the authority, at the expense of other taxing entities such as the school district, the library district and the county.
While the Douglas County school and library districts support the tool as a method for economic growth, each district would consider any urban renewal area on a case-by-case basis.
"The only issue we have is that I hope it won't be used for residential development," said Jamie LaRue, executive director of the Douglas County Library District. "I am confident we will be able to negotiate in good faith to say you don't want people to come into an area and deprive them of library services."
Town council will consider adopting a resolution to create an urban renewal authority in Castle Rock at its regularly scheduled council meeting at 6 p.m. May 7 in council chambers at town hall, 100 N. Wilcox Street. The meeting is open to the public, which can weigh in on the matter during the public comment period of the hearing.
For more information about the framework of an urban renewal authority, area and plan, visit the town's website at crgov.com/URA.
Urban renewal in Castle Rock
• Urban renewal authority: Provides the ability for property owners within the authority — which would encompass all of Castle Rock — to apply for consideration to establish an urban renewal area.
• URA board: Comprised of town councilmembers who, acting as the authority board, would consider each application individually. Final approval of any application rests with councilmembers, acting as town council.
• Urban renewal area: Identifies a boundary within the authority that contains four of 11 blight factors. Consideration as an area must be triggered by a private property owner or owners.
• Urban renewal plan: An agreement tied to the urban renewal area to outline the area's blight factors, the development plan and any tax increment financing agreement.
• Tax increment financing: Dedicates the future property tax growth on the property to the authority for the purpose of financing improvements on the property. To qualify for a TIF, the potential increase in property taxes must be sufficient to support a bond issuance.

Lost, Heathcliff 2001
watercolour with pen and ink over pencil on paper
57.4 X 38.0 cm
PF Here is this dog… someone's pet… lost. And what Noel has done here is to recreate in paint the dynamic of the poster, mainly that which has come into play since home computers and desktop publishing.
Everyone can now publish a photograph or print a poster up of their lost dog or bird, or cat, or whatever it might be, and what Noel has done is to try to recreate somebody else's art, which wasn't in painting, and yet at the same time, through his painterly skills, bring out the humanity of this dog. It's someone's particular pet. You get to know this Heathcliff. And someone's lost it, and there's the address and the phone number; all of those things are there.
We might find it tomorrow, for this person. And so it doesn't become a dog, in a way; it almost becomes someone in our own lives, even though every street post in Sydney has got someone's 'lost' story.
After 9/11, when the 'lost dog' poster as we know it became the 'lost person' poster, of loved ones who were never to return. It's such a poetic evocation of that sense of what 'lost' is, and I look at just the word 'lost', and the word means nothing; the meaning dissolves in front of you if you just stare at it, and yet the stare of the dog does have a huge humanity that is us, it is not the dog.
And I suppose, in a way, I've always felt a bit lost, myself.

Beautiful Shoe
"These flats are almost too beautiful to wear. I sized up based on other reviews and my own experience with Italian shoes. Usually I am a 9 or 9.5 in flats, but I went for the 10 (or 40) and they fit perfectly. The materials create an extremely luxurious look, and the light purple color is going to be perfect for spring ensembles."

Gorgeous Suede Flats
"I was trying to decide between the blush and lavender and ordered both! So glad I did! What a beautiful and well made shoe. The lavender color is THE most gorgeous shade and the blush is more subtle but just as pretty. They run a little short so going up a half size was perfect for me. The flexible sole is very comfy! Can't wait for spring!"

UAlbany's Boor Sculpture Studio Celebrates Decade, Commemorates with Campus Sculpture Dedication
ALBANY, N.Y. (December 6, 2012) -- In honor of the 10th anniversary of the University at Albany's Boor Sculpture Studio, visionary artist Cal Lane created "PALL CARGO," a sculpture made from a Vietnam War-era military shipping container. Currently installed in front of the studio, the sculpture will be dedicated at a ceremony on Friday, December 14.

Lane served in residence during October 2012 upon invitation by the Studio's director, Edward Mayer. As part of a Department of Art program inviting artists to visit and speak with students about their artistic enterprise, Lane accepted the invitation to create the sculpture onsite so UAlbany students could observe the entire creative process. During this time, Lane also spoke to groups of undergrad and grad students.
The studio, which opened in 2002 and is named after sculptor and benefactor Terri Cosma Boor, is located on the Uptown Campus. The studio's design and flexibility facilitates students' ability to create using a variety of techniques and processes, including film, video, sculpture, and digital processing. All undergraduate and graduate sculpture classes are conducted at the Boor Studio, with approximately 140 undergrad enrollees each semester and 14 private graduate (MA and MFA ) studios accessible 24 hours per day.
Since the studio's inception, two new presentation spaces have been established for experimental exhibitions and an operating foundry has resulted in the production of sculpture by grads and faculty that has been exhibited around the region.
Recent graduates have garnered academic positions at respected institutions including RPI, NC State, Middlebury, and Cornell, as well as displaying exhibitions in NYC, other artistic centers, and residencies throughout the country.
Lane, a native of Vancouver Island, is a sculptor who uses a plasma cutting torch to open and perforate ordinary steel objects, such as shovels, dumpsters and old oil drums into remarkable lacy configurations. Her past works have been featured in exhibitions in New York, Massachusetts, California, and Canada. Educated at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and with an MFA in sculpture from SUNY Purchase, she recently returned from Australia where she participated in the Sidney Biennial. She is now developing projects for a subway stop in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and a synagogue in Los Angeles.
Production of the sculpture and support for Lane's residency was provided by Metrometals Recycling, LLC, of Watervliet, NY, a grant from the University at Albany Alumni Association, and the Art Sculpture Program Fund.
"PALL CARGO" is on loan by the artist and will remain on site for a period of two years.
"We hope during that time we can find a donor to acquire the work and make it a permanent part of the University's collection and the Purple Path," says Professor Edward Mayer.comments powered by Disqus
