Skip to comments.***Wake Up America: You're Fighting For Your Very Existance: Don't Become Just A Memory***
Posted on 10/18/2002 6:05:36 PM PDT by The Wizard
Tonight was the end.....I watched Brian "No Brains" Williams on some NBC station as he slimed Jeb Bush and his daughter, after a day of the Judy Woodruffs and the McBrides and the Lautenbergs and the host of dassholes and others who parade across the TV screen with the support and blessings of every crooked, self absorbed, lying TV host except for a few on Fox.....
I have reached the end....
We have a great President after years of the sickest bastard we ever had, and the hillbilly slime legacy that was smeared all over the nation and the media to such a degree that bad is clothed in the disguise of good. I can no longer take it....
The continuous lying that comes from every TV station all day long makes me aware that America is fighting for it's very life.....
If The GOP doesn't take back the senate America will be lost......
No honest judges will ever be confirmed because the democrats don't want honest people in office. They want judges that will do their bidding......
They hasve an unholy alliance with the domestic enemies of our country and they want to suck it dry like a vampire until it no longer exists, and then they will sell their souls to who ever invades us, which they will assist so they can profit, and then America will be no more.
Wake up America, you are fighting an insidious enemy that has krept into the very fabric of the country, and there, disguised as politicians like we knew in the old days, these vipers sit in wait to destroy all that made us great, to dilute all the morals, and accomplishments we achieved, and, probably funded by the Chi-Comms who funneled money through the democrat party because they were too greedy and stupid to realize they were committing treason, to self absorbed to see they were selling us out to our enemies who couldn't attack us by might, but could buy them out from within. It was the Chinese who said America will sell you the rope to hang themselves, and with the willing aid of the power elite, it may have already happened....
Wake Up America, or become a memory.
Could you please expand on that charge.
I fear it is too late even if they do.
As Jesus said: "Oh yee of little faith". America is full of people who put their faith in a bunch of corrupt, sin sick creatures covered in pancake makeup, instead of the incorruptible, ALMIGHTY God, and whos Son has ALL authority in Heaven and Earth. God has an awesome ending for America. Redirected faith will help you see it. Oh, and this might help.
We have already been defeated by foreign cultures overthrowing our Christian culture. Thats why are cities are spiritually desolate. Thats what George Washington saw:
And again I heard the mysterious voice saying, Son of the Republic, look and learn. At this, the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia, and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. And throughout this mass, there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country, and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up.
As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat., I again heard the mysterious voice saying, Son of the Republic, look and learn. When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.
Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle. Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, Son of the Republic, look and learn.
As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.
Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities, springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, plating the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last. And taking from his brow the crown on which was blazoned the word Union, he placed it upon the Standard, while the people, kneeling down, said Amen.
The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who in the same voice I had heard before, said, Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted. Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the third.
(The comment on his word third is: The help against the THIRD peril comes in the shape of Divine assistance; passing which, the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.)
Surely you jest.... You aren't condemming the 80 Judges that have been confirmed and made it though the Judiciary Committee as being dishonest? I agree they haven't moved on some, voted down some very qualified nominees and will try to push the envelop to the left side as far as they can. But I believe that the ones confirmed are honest....
If we the people, the moderate and conservative voters who've stayed away from the polls in the past, don't vote in a majority in House and Seante, the coming confluence of terorrist actions here on our soil will be successful in destroying our economy, our resolve, and our means to recover. make no mistake, America, these people, these many terrorist cells already here, from many different Islamicist oganizations, are planning our downfall. They WILL try their terroist acts, they will strike mortal fear in the populace. If democrats take control of the HOuse and Senate, martial law in many guises is the only thing despotic democrats can offer or will offer.
By going to the polls, voting in record numbers, we the people can send a chilling message to these murderous bastards ... We will get you, we the awakened people will get you, and we have the might and the will to hunt you down and annihilate you, along with your families and your Mullahs. We will get you and we will salt the earth so that you will never arise again to threaten civilization. THAT is the message we the people CAN send on election day. Will we?
I've whittled my TV viewing down to one hour a week, Meet the Press. And, at that I miss three out of every four episodes. Sometimes, I almost imagine the invasion of the body snatchers is underway or something like that old TV movie where reptilian aliens hovering in motherships were wearing human skins. The lack of human emotion in the likes of Dan Rathers and Senator John F. Kerry are strikingly reptilian. Oh, and Senator Ted Kennedy does a good Jabber-the-Hut impersonation; or maybe he really is the fat alien.
This puke has been spouting venom against the Bush Administration all week on his liberal-ass college tour. I can't watch anymore. It's not even an honest discussion, it's an out of control liberal media orgy.
They're all on the way out, soon Fox will be the only one left.
This is why I'm so impressed by Tom Tancredo, he is not PC his is for the citizens of this country. He realizes what is being tossed away hand over fist by socialists. I can't wait until he is President.
I like to think of the good things, the honest God given things like a clean brook or stream, the mountains all around me (I moved to Alaska). The sounds of the birds and rustle of the leaves and all that, cause it sure is purty up here. Then up jumps the thought of some damn thread I read or partipated in on FR. Like Vince Foster getting offed and the overt way that was all handled. And I get pissed off all over again.
The TRUTH just won't stay hidden. It just bubbles up like, well, BUBBLES(lol). Thats the only thing keeping me going as far as hope for this contry is concerned. It looks bleak to me, believe me. But the simple TRUTH has this damned way to so persistent. I make an attempt to do things one on one with my pitiful brain friends. SHOCK is the answer, they need to be shocked. Releasing just little facts like, Did you know Hillary Clinton was called "Hillery the RED" in college. Stuff so rich free and abundant Free republic is earth shaking to the polically brain dead. Bottom line I hope is the TRUTH rises like a bubble and I'm here to help it alone if I can........
***---------------------------------------------------- www.Alamo-girl.com is a weath of info as you already know.
I was a registered democrat until 3/93 but didn't have to have a lot of political savvy to proudly cast my vote to elect Presidents Reagan and Bush I and voted for Bush I again in 1992. Just knew instinctively these men were men of sterling honor and would faithfully follow the oath of their office.
The insertion of the Clintons into the national political scene truly left me no doubt as to where the democrat party was headed and it was way off course from the direction I was moving.
All I know is that the Dysfunctional Clintonized Psychotic Wing of the Democrat Party combined with the Ultra-Elitist Liberal Wing, The Euro & Commie Sympathizer Wing, and the Way Far Out Left Environazi Wing appear to put their trust in the iron fist rule of a communist and/or brutal thug despotic dictator than our President George W. Bush, a man of firm and solid character and fine lover of freedom and the American tradition.
Only fools and ignorant idiots would follow the perilous path that the current democrat leadership have frivolously and merrilly shoved the unaware onto.
My hopes are with you, that the American people will take their blinders off enough to vote with their minds and evaluate the severity and enormousness of the risk our country is in that is coming from the "evil doers" and cast their vote for the political party that will endeavor to the best of their abilities to secure our nation to protect us and our glorious Liberty.
I'm thinking based on the behavior of these factions in the democrat party, their main concern is securing their power, rather than securing ours.
When the GOP does take back the Senate and I believe they will, America will not regain what was lost to the eight long years of treasonous perverted psychotic Clinton administration.
America lost it's greatness when the PEOPLE put that scumbag in office. Not once, but Twice. It was the end result of a sickness that has infected our country.
The GOP is too corrupt to regain what was lost. They are not nearly as corrupt as the Dems, but they are corrupt.
You can't put flour back in the bag after it has spilled
America will regain it's greatness when we have the courage to call what is good, good and what is evil, evil. and take control of our government again
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Sounds like you've gone off the deep end. :) Take a walk, hug your child, look at the stars. Get some perspective. Your'e losing it.
Could you please expand on that charge.
All he said was that many were commenting about the fact that Jeb Bush didnt attend his daughters sentencing hearing today. Most were surprised that a parent would not attend. Is this slime? I dont think so.
The Wiz has a reputation for hyperbole.
Thanks for your succinct take on what transpired during that segment.
Amen...and yes all of those who are putting so much faith in a party that is only slightly better than the democrats are missing the real point as you stated above.
You are sooooo not alone on this. I hate the lying rats and the treasonous media with a bitterness that is unhealthy, I fear.
Many Americans DO realize it. Look at FR for example. The problem is not that we don't realize that something needs to be done, but rather in finding the means to defeat the rampant corruption in those who are so greedy for power that they don't give a d*mn about America OR Americans. It is only by the grace of God that we come out on top of this mess, otherwise known as the Clinton legacy.
Most of us have real jobs and real families, unlike many of them who have nothing but time on their hands and no clue at all. Most of us on FR do what we can. I'm sure many others do too. And sadly, there are a multitude who don't even realize just how serious things are. Sometimes I wish I was one of them. They are able to go through their lives so blissfully unconcerned because they are unaware.
In the Senate you rarely see any Senator retire before three terms. IMHO something needs to change to inject new blood into the system more often. It is the only hope.
God is an underachiever?

UFA Wishlist: Who is that?
A. Bates
May 13 2012 05:53PM
It's well known that come July first most of the teams in the NHL will be offering long and lucrative contracts to Ryan Suter and Zach Parise - if they in fact make it to UFA status. While these two players would help the Maple Leafs turn their playoff drought into a playoff berth next season, it's not likely that they will be able to fit either of those players under their cap, without shedding some salary.
Finding serviceable free agents, who will provide your team with solid play - at a reasonable cost (aka not Mike Komisarek or Colby Armstrong) is key to turning around a struggling franchise without a large amount of NHL ready, high ceiling prospects.
Here I will dive into the UFA pool, seeing if there is anything valuable (again, at a reasonable cost) to be had.
Let's take a look at Matt Carle over the jump.
Matt Carle isn't exactly a diamond in the rough - he's a pretty well known commodity. However, a team might be able to persuade him to sign around the four million mark and that would be pretty decent value as long as he sustains this level of play.
Carle has been a quality possession player so far in his NHL career, seeing a positive Corsi REL in all five years. Laviolette used Carle in defensive situations (<50% Off Zone starts) more often then not, this year (in past years as well). If it weren't for the poor On-Ice Sv% he saw this year his +/- would have been a little nicer (for those of you who still like that stat).
Carle has had three nice years in a row now. He's playing against mid-level competition without terribly good goaltending behind him and seeing positive results. At 27 he may be entering his defensive prime and could be ready for a step up in defensive responsibilities. If the Leafs could get him signed to a team friendly contract he could be useful for another five or six years.
Obviously Carle is a nice piece. I think the amount of money he will see in free agency may be a little high for what the Leafs can shell out without shedding salary. What do you think? Should Carle be a target come July first?
I'll just repost what I wrote on PPP:
How much Matt Carle will cost?
Production over the 3 years leading to their current contract: Carle. Entering UFA at 27 244 GP 11 G 113 pts 5562 TOI 0.045 GPG 0.463 PPG ~22:50 TOI/GP 4 G and 38 pts over 82 GP and ~22:50 TOI/GP season
Wisniewski (6 years/33 million. 5.5 mil cap hit). Signed at 27. 192 GP 16 G 105 pts 4354 TOI 0.0833 GPG 0.547 PPG ~22:40 TOI/GP 7 G and 45 pts over 82 GP and ~22:40 TOI/GP
Ehrhoff (10 years/40 million. Ridiculous contract with 4 mil cap hit). Signed at 28 236 GP 36 G 136 pts 5353 TOI 0.153 GPG 0.576 ~22:40 TOI/GP 13 G and 47 pts over 82 GP and ~22:40 TOI/GP
So they turned out to be a tad more productive than him (I thought it would be closer. Ehrhoff will give you more goals than the other two and Carle gets about 0.1 PPG less than other two or 7-9 points/season. That being said there were more high-end UFA d-men available last year (Ehrhoff, Wisnieski, Kaberle, Pitkanen were all UFA's). This year it is Suter than a huge drop off to (I guess) Carle and Jackman. This article suggests that he may be available for around 4 million. Based on last years contracts I think he comes in around 5. Do we still want him?
May 14 2012, 01:57PM
Can we pair him with Gunnar for a Carl & Carle pairing?

I pretty sure this has been done before but here goes..
Who do you think is the strongest shichibukai and why?
Dracule Mihawk
Boa Hancock
Blackbeard(Pre Timeskip)
Gecko Moria
Buggy obviously
I pretty sure this has been done before but here goes..
Who do you think is the strongest shichibukai and why?
I think either Kuma because his ability is basically hax lol or Jimbei Y? well a average fishman is at least three times as strong as a human so I fiugure the leader of the fishmen has got to be a beast in his own rite
i guess, mihawk is the "strongest", at least he is not forced to use a DF, and when he has the same abilities as reighley he can cut even logias, so this should be np for him. maybe kuma could repell his attack, but even zorro did slice him, so even kuma would loose against him. ( i guess lol) with his haki he should be able to cut anything, even steel, maybe diamond. i dont know his dodging skills, so i dont know if he would also be able to evade all konter attaks from any possible opponents, or what he would do against nico robins DF , hard 1, she could just break his neck, but maybe haki can even help him in this situation. who knows.
I think Doflomingo just because all we have seen him do is control someone. I see him with some more powers than just controlling people.
avatar by devlinnreiko
i like how people is voting mihawk only because his coolness!!!
oh, well, i voted kuma... i mean he can repel whatever he want, he has very quick moves, and the most important... he has LASER BEAMS!!!!

Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
Actually, I voted for Mihawk because he has "Worlds Greatest" in his title.
I also voted Mihawk. Because Mihawk as a single man with a giant ass sword is strong. And he's not annoying like some of the other Shichibukai. Moria, Crocodile, and Boa Hancock already get on my nerves.
Robin couldn't beat Mihawk. Even with her certain kill ball grabbing technique. Because she would be the one to faint first.
"Please double on White Day"

I vote for Mihawk, the biggest enemy of Zoro but I think Doflamingo is hard to deal with his "control mind" (I guess '___')

Ruth Welch praised the awardees' outstanding achievements in wildlife conservation. "Your commitment to natural resource work ensures that our public lands most precious living asset—its fish and wildlife resources—is sustained for the enjoyment of generations of land users. The BLM needs its natural resource professionals to demonstrate their passion and expertise that will inspire others to follow in their footsteps."
Brandon McDonald of the BLM Utah Vernal Field Office received the "Jim Yoakum Emerging Leader Award." This award is given in honor of Jim Yoakum, the BLM's first wildlife biologist. Jim published the first brochure featuring wildlife on public lands and taught and mentored dozens of young biologists.
Brandon has demonstrated excellent leadership in wildlife conservation through valuable work with a variety of partners including the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, United States Forest Service, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service and by managing the White-tailed Prairie Dog/Black Footed Ferret program in his office. His diverse workload includes federally listed and sensitive fish species in the upper Colorado River Basin and mitigating impacts of energy development to important fish and wildlife species on public lands. Brandon also worked with partners to protect reptiles, amphibians, raptors, and sage-grouse.
Craig Johnson of the BLM Idaho Cottonwood Field Office received the "Linda Siebert Career Achievement Award." This award is given in order of Linda Siebert, one of the BLM's finest biologists. Throughout her 22-year career, Linda worked tirelessly for habitat protection and restoration. She also dedicated her career towards building bridges between people and organizations interested in public lands management.
For more than 40 years, Craig has worked for the BLM, demonstrating his passion for natural resource issues on public lands through on-the-ground project work and successful collaboration with partners. Beginning his career as dual-role biologist for both fisheries and wildlife at the
BLM's Cottonwood Field Office in 1973, Craig has dedicated his career to recovery of federally listed Chinook and sockeye salmon and steelhead trout by focusing on small tributaries that support spawning and rearing habitat. He has also worked for the preservation of valuable wildlife, most notably the bighorn sheep, whose populations within the Cottonwood Field Office are one of the last remaining in the Salmon River watershed.

Ronald Rex 'Ron' Hunter
Memorial services for longtime Cortez resident Ronald Rex "Ron" Hunter will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 28 at Ertel Memorial Chapel. Following the services a meal will be served at the Ute Mountain American Legion Post No. 75.
Ron was born on April 28, 1949, in Sioux City, Iowa, the son of Richard and Betty Hunter. Ron was raised in Baker, Mont. where he attended elementary and high school. While growing up in Baker, Ron worked as a ranch hand on a local cattle ranch. After graduating high school, Ron continued his education at Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont. He moved to Colorado in 1969. While working for Nielsons Construction he continued to put himself through college completing his education at Fort Lewis College obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Oil Geology.
On March 10, 1979, Ron married the love of his life, Bobbie Higman. They began their lives together with children, Justin and Shandi and to this union added two daughters, Falena and Elizabeth. Ron worked for Peter Kewit until he was hired by Triad Western Constructors in 1980. He was one of the first men hired to this young company and took great pride in his work as one of the leading superintendents for the past 33 years.
Ron loved the outdoors and was eager to share his love and knowledge with his family and friends. Hunting, fishing, camping, stock car racing, 4-H and rodeo were some of the things Ron enjoyed and shared with loved ones. Above all Ron was a family man who lived for his wife and kids. In recent years his joy and devotion for his seven grandchildren was undeniable.
On Feb. 21, 2014, with his family by his side, Ron lost a long, hard-fought battle to cancer. Through it all he never lost his will to live, his amazing sense of humor and wit, or his kind and patient personality. Ron was loved, depended upon and will be dearly missed by those he left behind, his wife, Bobbie of 34 years; four children, Justin Jeter (Andrea Jeter), Shandi Jeter (Chris Moore), Falena Hunter (David Kimble), and Elizabeth Hunter (Vince McDaniel); and seven grandchildren, Brenn Jeter, Luna and Nova Moore, Brady Dale, Jaleesa and Nevaeh Espinoza, and Alyvia McDaniel. He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard D. and Betty E. Hunter.
Services are under the direction of Ertel Funeral Home. For further information or to send condolences, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

During the past week we have had interesting discussions on this blog about a new paper that tries to filter the AMO signal out of the global temperature series. Several commenters thought that the paper contained serious flaws. Among them was Guido van der Werf, who is a scientist working at the Free University in Amsterdam. His research mainly focuses on forest fires and the effects they have on the carbon cycle. Guido is a friend and I greatly appreciate his efforts to replicate the results of the Zhou/Tung paper. He presents his finding in this guest post.
Guest post by Guido van der Werf
In a recent post Marcel Crok highlighted a new paper by Jiansong Zhou and Ka-Kit Tung in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences which halved recent anthropogenic warming and indicated no acceleration of anthropogenic warming over the past 100 years. If true, this is obviously a very important finding. The paper followed on two other papers by Lean and Rind (2008) and Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) aiming to disentangle anthropogenic and natural influences seen in the instrumental temperature record. Three different datasets of temperature are shown below.

The most used shotgun today is the 12 gauge. Hunters use this versatile and widely available gauge, as do sport shooters, military and law enforcement. It has existed in its current cartridge configuration since the late 1800's.
Shotgun shell casings were originally full length brass or paper hulls with a brass base. Some were sold loaded, but it was also possible to buy them primed and unloaded. The shooter was then able to load the shell as they desired. Frank Chamberlin patented in 1884 a machine which could load 1,500 shotshells per hour, a remarkable feat at the time. Within ten years, Chamberlin had become a direct competitor with Winchester and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company. This proved, unfortunately, to be the beginning of the end for Chamberlin, as he was competing against his suppliers. They were the producers of the components he needed for manufacturing his own shotgun ammunition. Chamberlin left the ammunition industry by 1900 and focused instead on trapshooting devices.
Shotgun ammo technology grew by leaps and bounds in the first fifty years of the 1900's. Brass hulls were replaced by paper hulls, and smokeless powder - more powerful and cleaner burning - replaced black powder. Remington blazed the trail with new products for shotgunners, including in 1951, the introduction of its Model 870 shotgun. Nine years later, Remington introduced shotgun shells with plastic hulls. The case was more robust and kept the contents of the case dry even in the field. One year later, O.F. Mossberg & Sons introduced their iconic pump shotgun, the Model 500.
Shotgun shells commonly fire shot or slug projectiles. Shot is usually pellets made of lead or steel, but shot loads of tungsten and bismuth are available also. Shot pellet sizes vary between 0.36" (000 Buck) and 0.08" (#9 shot). Shotguns are used to hunt birds from dove to turkey. Some jurisdictions allow hunting with shotguns shooting large pellets for large game including deer.
Shotgun slugs are single solid projectiles designed for hunting large game closer than 100 yards. Slugs work well in hunting because the large size transfers high energy into the target. Some shotgun barrels spin the slug with rifling for added accuracy, while other slugs are wrapped in a sabot which is designed designed to increase range and accuracy of the slug in exchange for projectile weight and energy transfer.
The use of the 12 gauge for self defense is growing again, and specialty ammunition is being produced, including options for low recoil, and combinations of buckshot and smaller pellets. Proficiency with a shotgun for self defense comes more quickly than it does with a handgun, because of the greater inherent accuracy of a long gun. Additionally, 12 gauge shotguns enjoy the advantage of imparting greater energy than a handgun, yet having decreased issues with over penetration.
12 gauge shotgun ammunition will likely remain popular for a long time to come. The 12 gauge is a good choice for many tasks from personal protection to many different types of hunting as there are so many different guns and barrels available.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
At the March public lands council meeting, Bill Broadbear from the US Forest Service shared information about projects they completed last summer and other forest service news. He announced that Alan Rowley is the new forest supervisor and he's been at Fishlake/Richfield for four years. He will continue to supervise there as well as his new assignment with the Manti-LaSal.
Broadbear reported the National Guard will use the forest this year for some field exercises in June. They will begin on June 17 and they will camp at Millsite State Park. Jeremy Tannehill, former Emery County resident is instrumental in bringing the guard here for their training.
There will be work this summer on trail heads and staging areas. There will be some coal exploration from helicopter on Trail and East Mountain. A timber project was started last fall in the Miller's Flat area and will continue this summer. It is for 2.5 million board feet.
A large project was undertaken in the Miller's Flat area improving 48 dispersed camp sites. Broadbear wants to make everyone aware that they plan to make four of these improved sites into fee areas that can be reserved. All other sites are on a first come first served basis.
According to Broadbear the crews worked in placing fire rings in campsites and eliminating redundant trails leading out of camp sites. Broadbear said there has been a problem in that area with people leaving campsites on ATVs and making user created trails, up mountain sides and across wetlands in the area. To block off these trails fences have been placed across the trails.
A new ATV trail has been created for users at Potter's Pond. It's a one mile loop around a forest trail and back out into the campground area and it's called the Paradise Creek trail.
Another big improvement to the campsites all along Miller's Flat road is the gravel on the roads leading up to the campsites. More than $250,000 was spent on road improvements. The roads have been graded and graveled to improve access to the campsites and to improve drainage on the dirt roads. Culverts have been added in problem areas to aid in drainage.
Broadbear said the project is called the Miller's Flat Integrated Project. They have worked in conjunction with the timber specialists of the forest service. The timber specialists have given the Miller's Flat project a section of forest where the dead, beetle killed timber stands. The work crews have taken lumber from this stand to build the fences in the area. The timber specialists have also marked sections which will be sold for timber harvesting.
Broadbear said the dead spruce will be harvested for house logs.
Broadbear said, "This is a very high use area. The roads and trails get a tremendous amount of use and we are trying to direct that use onto existing roads and trails. Our recreation crew has completed all of the work here including building the fences from dead spruce. We have a large amount of wetlands all through this area. We are trying to protect these wetlands. I don't know if everyone knows there is a fine for destroying wetlands and also a restitution fee for restoring any damage done to the wetlands. There was a recent case in the Potter's Pond area where a vehicle bogged through some wetlands and did considerable damage and will have to pay to have those wetlands restored. We aren't closing any mapped trails, but only those user created trails or trails with three or four entrances to the same campsite.
"We have a fantastic trails system with the Arapeen trails in our area. There are many places for ATVs to ride without destroying our wetlands. Wetlands are teeming with life," said Broadbear.
Another project which took place last summer was trail building by the American Hiking Society. A new kiosk was installed at the trail head and a trail was built along with a bridge. The work took place on the Jordan/Seely trail head. The parking area has been fenced off and it is for day use only. You can park at the trailhead, but you must camp before you get to the trailhead.
Two new toilets were installed in the Miller's Flat road area last summer. Many of the old user created trails have been ripped and reseeded.
The forest service welcomes users in the forest and encourages them to act responsibly and take care of the forest so everyone can enjoy it including future generations.
The public lands council said they would like to go on a field trip in June or July to see the improvements which have been made to the area. Broadbear reminded everyone that any fees collected in this area stay here for improvements.

High but Not Super Uncomfortable
"I wanted to get an oxford but with platforms and heels (I find the platform to be more comfortable because there is less of an arch. These aren't super comfortable but they are nice and high. The arch isnt the issue, it's more so that this runs a smidge short in the toe. I still love them though and will rock them with jeans!"

France head to Murrayfield in the Six Nations on Sunday looking to extended a five-game winning streak against Scotland.
France head to Murrayfield in the Six Nations on Sunday looking to extended a five-game winning streak against Scotland.
Scotland have beaten France just once since the tournament was extended to six teams in 2000 (at Murrayfield in 2006) and having tasted defeat twice already in this year's Champion, an upset win over the pre-tournament favourites could not come at a better time as pressure is growing on Andy Robinson to turn strong performances into successful results.
You had to feel for Robinson as he was left to watch on powerless while his side flushed victory over the Auld Enemy down the toilet before effectively playing themselves out of the game in Cardiff with those two yellow cards after such a promising first half.
Whispers have started to grow as to just how much longer the English coach's bitter-sweet tenure will last if the trend continues and it would be an understatement to say the Scots are desperate to get their first win over a tier one side since edging Ireland in a World Cup warm up back in August 2011.
While les Bleus would have initially been frustrated by the postponement of their clash against Ireland, in retrospect Philippe Saint-André and his staff will consider it a blessing in disguise.
France's rearranged schedule offers a few advantages for a squad that are still finding their feet under a new coaching staff as it allows them to spend four consecutive weeks in camp together rather than the usual coming and going from headquarters at Marcoussis. It's an unprecedented luxury for a French coach in the modern era and while the clubs are screaming blue murder, the national staff have spoken at length of the opportunity to get to know the players better and put in place the structures than will hopefully take them to the next World Cup.
He'd probably never admit as much in public, but it's fair to say that if he had the choice ,PSA would have faced the Scots in his second game in charge rather than Ireland (though he would certainly have preferred another game in Paris rather than visit the Scottish capital.)
As it now stands, France's fixture list offers an ideal scenario of stepping stones as they aim to build momentum over the next month: A hit out against Italy to get the ball rolling, then a road trip to Scotland explore a few new options and refine some details, followed by a home game against a settled Irish side to test for cracks in system. Then see how far the engine will rev without boiling over in the emotionally- charged crunch with England before – hopefully – firing on all cylinders in a Grand Slams decider against Wales….
Parfait, non?
Not quite, because we're getting ahead of ourselves and Saint-André will be the first to concede that victory in Edinburgh is far from guaranteed and that defeat will represent a major stumbling block in his team's progression.
Both coaches have said the forward battle will decide this clash as Scotland look to continue to hang onto the ball for extended periods against arguably the strongest pack in the competition.
Indeed, the Scots face a massive task in fronting up to les Bleus but ultimately their success or failure will depend on their ability to cut out the errors that cost them so dearly in the first two rounds. An Expectant Murrayfield awaits.
Players to watch:
For Scotland: 19-year-old Stuart Hogg made one of the exciting international debuts in recent memory against Wales a fortnight ago and has, as expected, been rewarded with a place in Robinson's starting XV. The ink has flowed thick and fast about the Glasgow Warriors full-back with comparisons already being made to the great Gavin Hastings. We're still miles from that point yet, but judging by the way he burst onto the Test scene, he certainly has the talent to build a career at the highest level. But it's one thing to catch the eye in a twenty-minute cameo when your team has got nothing much left to lose – it's an entirely different task to produce an error-free performance for 80 minutes against one of the best teams in the world. Over to you, Mr. Hogg.
For France: Competition for the French number nine jersey is red hot at the moment. Morgan Parra has been elevated back into the starting XV due to the injury to Dimitri Yachvili but the Clermont youngster will not be able to rest on his laurels with the Top 14's form scrum-half, Julien Dupuy, now on the bench and ready to seize his chance. After showing his class out of position at the World Cup, Parra will be eager to show the new regime that he is the man for the job over the next four years.
Head-to-head: With ball retention a priority for both teams, the first phase after the set piece will be crucial as the ball carrier will be tasked setting up the first point of attack and putting his team on the front foot. Enter David Denton and Louis Picamoles, who will be charging around the back of the scrum and looking for someone to run over. Look out for some freight-train style collisions!

text: Hobie Surf :: Rachael Tilly Lands Cover of OC Register Family Issue!! Share 24. April 2013 by We are so used to our girl Rachael Tilly doing things like this….. Rachael Tilly …. that we sometimes forget how much she accomplishes outside of the water! That's why we are all so stoked to see that OC Register Family Magazine (OCFamily.com) not only named Rachael as one of their Top 20 Shining Students for 2013, she also got the cover! OC Register Family Magazine Each year, OC Register Family, searches Orange County to find the best and brightest students. They talk to coaches and school administrators, and seek nominations from the public. When they are through, they have a list of the of the top youth in the area who excel in all areas from academics, the arts, leadership, athletics, and, of course, community service. 2013′s group of students are incredible, and Rachael is front and center! The group includes students who are bound for Harvard and MIT, a Junior Olympic Gold medalist in fencing, a clean water activist, 11th grade twin sisters who are authors of 4 Sci-Fi books, a two time OC Debate League Golden Gavel Award winner, and many more accomplished kids. Though they all participate in differing fields, what they all have in common is a desire to do their absolute best at all times, and inspire others around them to do the same. "I put all my faith in God," Rachael says. "I'm just working hard to fulfill this amazing talent He's given me." The Story… "Since she entered her first surfing contest at the age of 6, Rachael Tilly has racked up an impressive list of wins. She has clinched the Interscholastic Surfing Federation's Middle School State Championship three times and holds five West Coast titles from the Western Surfing Association. Rachael is also the youngest woman to qualify for the Association of Surfing Professionals' 2013 World Longboard Tour. She will travel to compete for a world championship this November at Hainan Island in China. In addition to Hurley, Rachael is sponsored by Hobie, which sells a Rachael Tilly model longboard designed by legendary shaper Terry Martin. (Rachael and Terry were close friends, and she spoke at his 2012 memorial.) A stellar student who participates in church activities and swims for her high school team, Rachael has stayed grounded even as her surfing career has soared. "I definitely plan on going to college. My education is as important to me as surfing is to me," says Rachael, who plans to attend a school close to the beach so she can continue to compete." -Tracey Engelking Categories: Surfboards |

The Elmo Town Council recently held its May meeting. Mayor Kirt Rasmussen called the meeting to order. He then welcomed Greg Marsing. Marsing conducted the 2008 audit of Elmo Town and went over the audit with the council members. The Council then voted to accept the results of the audit.
The next item of business discussed was a proposal from an Elmo resident. The resident had been approached by Mayor Rasmussen about deeding a road right of way to enable the town to be able to pave the road and eventually put in curb and gutter. The resident's proposal asked for the town to put a fence on their property in exchange for the deed of right of way. Mayor Rasmussen responded to the resident that the town is not willing or able to accept the proposal. He stated that a lot of other residents have already been willing to deed the town the right of ways needed to make improvements to roads in Elmo and that none of them have been compensated. He said if the town agreed to put in a fence for the resident that everyone would be expecting a fence and Elmo does not have enough revenue to be able to do that. The other council members agreed that the town would not be able to accept the proposal.
Other topics at the meeting included the ongoing problem of overdue water bills as well as overdue dog licenses and roaming dogs. Letters will be going out to residents who are behind on their water bills. A resolution previously passed by the council states that anyone behind by three months will be eligible to have their water shut off. Letters will also be going out to residents that have failed to purchase dog licenses and to residents whose dogs have been seen roaming the town. These people will be subject to fines for not being in compliance with town ordinances.
Additionally, they approved an annexation petition for Dallen Skelly and agreed to donate $125 each to Danavin Reed and Stevie Feuers to help them with the costs of going to Girls State.

In the afternoon of Nov. 14, Ferron City Councilmembers and Mayor Kent Larsen hosted a ground breaking ceremony for construction of the new fire station building for that city's fire department. Several old homes and sheds were either demolished or relocated, to accommodate the construction, which is the culmination of a three year planning process by the council.
Mayor Larsen began by welcoming the residents and volunteers of the fire department to the beginning of the construction phase of this project.
"This project began three years ago with a wish from the fire chief. None of us knew where to begin but like the Abominable Snowman said in the movie Rudolph, 'You put one step in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door.' Basically that's what we did. Through the ceaseless efforts of residents of Ferron, the project is coming together. The fire department is very important to every citizen, not only in Ferron, but in Emery County. They play a big role in our lives, as was demonstrated last New Year's with the big fire in town.
"Our fire department works very hard training and preparing to be there in the event of an emergency. They do a tremendous job. Along with their duties, they bring Santa Claus to town and also do all the fireworks at Peach Days. Our EMTs are also a very instrumental part of the community.
"Councilman Gordon Bennett put together the committee to bring the project to this point. With the work of that committee, and all the other volunteers, the project received funding and is now becoming reality. We applaud you all for donating your precious time and commend you and thank you," said Larsen.
Randy Nielson, fire department chief, said "Thanks to the community for all your efforts. The current station has been a good one and served us well, but it is now time to move on and update our facilities. More training is required all the time for the fire department and the EMTs, and because of our central location, Ferron fire station is where most of the training for the county firefighters takes place. The fire department and the EMTs work very closely and work very well together."
Councilman Bennett remarked, "Our fire department has outgrown the current building. We looked into remodeling it, and we learned that so much would be needed that it was more cost effective to build a completely new facility. We put together a citizen committee and began the process. We have heard that it takes a community to make things happen, and we learned first hand that when a community comes together, things happen.
"Lou Sansevero wrote the grants for the funding. Leslie Danzer was the chairman of the citizens committee. The entire group worked together to bring this project to this point. I appreciate all of the efforts. Thanks also to the county for allowing the road department crew to help with the preparation of the ground after the removal of the buildings. I would like the 11 people instrumental in working on this project to each take a shovel and join me in the groundbreaking. After that, any of the citizens who would like to take part in the ceremony are welcome to dig a little for the new fire station," said Bennett.
Lloyd Knowles of ARCHOS Design of Spanish Fork, Gayland Dugmore, Randy Nielson, Kent Larsen, Lou Sansevero, Jo Sansevero, Leslie Danzer, Bryan Erickson and Gordon Bennett began the construction phase of the project by breaking the ground for the new Ferron Fire Station. Also instrumental in the project, but not present at the ceremony were Laurie Pitchforth and Philip Nelson.
wFollowing the groundbreaking ceremony, Bennett awarded Nielson the first shovel that turned ground to be hung in the new station. Hot chocolate and cookies were served in the old building.

Lowest Ever 1 Cent* Fares for Oz Travellers04/02/2008
Australian travellers are poised to witness the lowest fare ever offered in the Australian market with Virgin Blue set to launch a 1 cent sale to celebrate its brand new flights to Port Macquarie on the New South Wales, Mid North Coast. The first flight is scheduled to depart Sydney as DJ 1185 at 11.35am and arrive in Port Macquarie at 12.30pm.
The new service is part of the airline's regional growth strategy and continues to deliver on the commitment Virgin Blue made back in 2000 when the airline first launched, to bring competition and affordability to the heart of Australia's regional communities, not just capital cities.
To celebrate the occasion in true Virgin Blue style, the airline will offer 1,000 1 cent one-way fares for flights between Port Macquarie and Sydney, INCLUSIVE of taxes and surcharges ($41.73). The special 1000 1 cent Internet only "Fast and Furious" fares will go on sale at 8.00pm tomorrow Tuesday 5th February for four hours until midnight Tuesday 5th February or until sold out. The travel period is from 6 February 2008 to 30 June 2008.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "At 8.00pm tomorrow evening, Virgin Blue will flick the switch and offer what is the cheapest fare ever to be seen in the domestic aviation market."
The launch of Virgin Blue flights also represents an end to the days of turbo-prop only services with the historic flight marking the first time the city of Port Macquarie will have jet aircraft flights. The commencement of these flights represents a range of new opportunities for the local region.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "These new services for Port Macquarie kick off Virgin Blue's comprehensive regional growth plan for 2008 and we are excited that Port Macquarie is the first new destination on our expanding route map. You probably won't get a better deal than a 1 cent flight and while it's clearly a very special launch fare, it's an indication that Virgin Blue is serious about generating interest and excitement for people travelling to and from regional destinations like Port Macquarie".
He continued, "The introduction of Virgin Blue services to other regional cities including Coffs Harbour and Ballina, has been a major driver in increased tourism and business and we are hopeful the same benefits will be experienced by the Hastings region."
Virgin Blue will operate brand new Brazilian manufactured executive style EMBRAER E-Jets on the route which carries up to 78 passengers in the E-170 and 104 in the slightly larger E-190. The jets have a flying time between Sydney and Port Macquarie of just 40 minutes.
The new service is aimed at both leisure and business travellers and offers additional perks and services for the discerning traveller including Virgin Blue's Sydney "The Lounge" facility, Velocity Frequent Flyer program and shortly, the new "Premium Economy" in-flight option.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council has upgraded the airport to facilitate Virgin Blue services, including the introduction of a security screening facility. The airport extensions are also underway which will allow Virgin Blue to operate jet aircraft flights on a long term basis.
Brett Godfrey added, "Competition is a great thing for consumers and we are committed to bringing long term low fares, good old fashioned service and robust competition to this market and we hope to garner strong community support to ensure longevity for Virgin Blue flights".
On board today's launch flight will be key Virgin Blue executives, Port Macquarie-Hastings Mayor, Councillor Rob Drew, a number of Port Macquarie tourism and business representatives, special surprise celebrity guest, Globetrotting Getaway presenter, Catriona Rowntree, a group of media travel writers, as well as tourists keen to take advantage of the new services to the Mid North Coast region.
Virgin Blue will operate daily flights between Sydney and Port Macquarie and will closely monitor demand for the services.
Connections will be available from Port Macquarie via Sydney to Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Gold Coast, Hobart and Melbourne.
The launch flight will feature Virgin Blue's traditional in-flight celebrations including free champagne, special limited edition launch flight t-shirt giveaway as well as an in-flight auction and fundraising efforts with all proceeds donated to the Hastings Cancer Trust and Port Macquarie Surf Club.
Multi award winning airline Virgin Blue and international carriers Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue currently operate a fleet of 61 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 23 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Virgin Blue was the first airline in the world to launch a Government-certified carbon offset program, where Guests can offset the carbon emissions from their flights. Virgin Blue Group has also announced plans to launch Australia's newest international airline, V Australia, set to commence flights between Australia and the USA from late 2008, subject to regulatory approvals
* All fares are for flights booked on the internet or $15 more when booked by phone. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak times. A credit card surcharge of an additional $3 per person per one way flight is applicable. Credit card surcharge will not apply to 1000 1 cent Fast and Furious fare.
