I know there are a lot of things go through my mind. Some of the things I really can't stop thinking about: when Captain Cook came and landed and called it a new country in British justice or whatever you want to call it. Captain Cook made a map of our coastline. They even buggered that up, they did. They thought Tasmania was joined up to Australia, but it wasn't. They came here with a lot of stuff and they went around to a lot of other countries and that, discovering new lands as well. But I can't help thinking about when they landed here: what it would be like if the native people did start to spear them, frighten them and kill them all.
I wonder how this country would look now. Would we still be living in the bush – no fences, no cities and no pollution – everything the way it was before they came here? The air sweet and beautiful. The animals now extinct, they'd be around as well. But you know we can't bring them back, and you can't change the past, as the saying goes. But they did land here and Captain Cook and his men done things I don't think they even put in their diaries or their catalogues …
It's funny things never seem to work out. I mean, you look at the country now. It's a fair bit of a mess now already, with all these factories diggin' up the earth, people destroyin' a lot of things. If you know in your mind or heart, you know what I'm tryin' to get across. This is my opinion anyway.
It's really up to each of us to make up our own minds what is right and what is wrong. You know this land was ours, but it's yours now. But there's still a lot of people out there fightin' for us so that we can get it back one day, maybe in one lifetime.

EXCLUSIVE: Fujitsu invented the plasma TV, Panasonic took it to #1 in Australia, now Panasonic has snared Fujitsu's air conditioning crown according to GFK data by taking over the #1 slot for retail sales of air conditioning.
Fujitsu invented the plasma TV, Panasonic took it to #1 in Australia, now Panasonic has snared Fujitsu's air conditioning crown according to GFK data by taking over the #1 slot for retail sales of air conditioning.
"We took over the #1 slot in the air conditioning market November 2010 and we have continued to grow share" said Panasonic CEO Steve Rust who believes that his Company now has a major advantage due to their recent acquisition of Sanyo.
"The air conditioning market in the future is going to be all about control. Utility Companies are now working with Federal Government and State Governments to introduce new ways to control air condition and in the future that may mean Utility Companies having the power to control air conditioning in both winter and summer".
"Both Panasonic and Sanyo have control technology that is specifically designed to help consumers lower the cost of running an air conditioning system, which is often the biggest contributor to power use on a grid. We have already had blackouts in Sydney and both power utilities and Governments are away of the issues associated with air conditioning use." Rust said.
"Utility Companies in Australia are already trialling control technology linked to air conditioning systems which in the future, they will be able to control when demand on the grid reaches a peak. Consumer running an air conditioner at 16 degrees may find it reset to 19 degrees and in winter the heating cut back" said Rust.Rust said that while the 2010/2011 season for air conditioning sales in Australia had been "difficult" he claimed that he was confident that the Japanese Company could hold onto their market share.
"We are looking to expand our air conditioning operation as a result we are looking to hire additional people. We are looking to expand our commercial offering and the business we get via installers" he said.
He claimed that a move to merchandising installer's vans and the offering of marketing incentives had led to a surge in installers wanting to sell Panasonic air conditioning solutions.According to GFK data Panasonic now has 25% of the Australian retail, air conditioning market.

24 For this is in remembrance of my blood of the new testament, which is shed for as many as shall believe on my name, for the remission of their sins.

There's now a variety of small-bodied compact cinema cameras with large sensors and varying capabilities on the market at various price points, alongside even more DSLRs. This camera revolution owes plenty to the recent embrace of DSLRs by shooters of many stripes, thanks in no small part to DSLRs delivering such a big bang for the buck. While the demand for DSLRs is down, it's not out. "Canon's 5D continues to be a great low-cost option for many commercial shoots," says Band Pro Marketing Manager Brett Gillespie, adding that there's also a great deal of interest in Blackmagic's 2.5K camera.
It's clear that compact cine-style cameras are the next big thing, which is partly due to DSLRs and partly at the expense of DSLRs and traditional ENG-style video cameras. That's the report from AbelCine in New York, where many TV clients like "Saturday Night Live" now rent compact cine cameras instead of DSLR packages. "'SNL' now chooses ALEXAs, EPICs and [Sony] F3s to shoot their digital shorts versus DSLRs," says Mitch Gross, AbelCine's applications specialist. "The same is true of most of our midlevel TV and cable clients who need fast, efficient workflows plus good camera specs and ergonomics. They also prefer to capture at the highest resolution available, including RAW. DSLRs can only capture RAW still images, while the video is all compressed H.264." By contrast, the new cine-style cameras offer a broader range of options. ALEXA can record either Apple Pro Res or Avid DNX files that are each ready to edit in their respective editing systems. That's invaluable for clients like "SNL," which may not shoot until Thursday for a Saturday-night show. "With an ALEXA they can begin editing in the field or as soon as they're back at the studio," Gross explains.
Not surprisingly, the ALEXA has been one of AbelCine's most popular rental cameras. "ALEXAs are going out daily for commercials, high-end docs, [TV] episodics and specials, and even for some indie features," says Gross. "They're built like tanks and can take a beating while capturing [film] imagery that everyone seems to love. They're our biggest workhorse, but Sony F3s and Canon C300s are also in great demand. But, there is still some demand for Panasonic's AF100, whose micro 4/3 imager is a bit smaller but can still capture impressive imagery at a good price. Imager size can affect sensitivity, but a DP can compensate for those differences with good lighting technique." In Gross's view, under average conditions, you can get outstanding imagery with all of the compact cine cameras, even with those at the lower end of the price scale, including Blackmagic's new 2.5K camera.
JVC's HMQ10 may be the smallest compact cine camera now on the market with the biggest sensor for the buck — a full 4K (Super 35) on a camera priced under $5K. Unfortunately, it only captures in 4K mode and hence must be scaled down for editing in HD. Austin-based indie Producer Randall Dark recently used the HMQ10 to shoot a marathon river race in Texas, and he intercut it with footage from 14 different cameras, including iPads and iPhones. "Ultimately, it was intercut with everything from HDV to iPhone footage in Apple ProRes 422," Dark reports. "I really enjoyed shooting with it and plan to use it again on an upcoming project."
There's one area where not all cameras are created equal: "off-speed" shooting. While frame-rate capabilities are improving, pricier cameras like the ALEXA and EPIC even top out at 120 FPS at full resolution. Really high-speed shoots (above 240 FPS) require specialized cameras like the Vision Research Phantom, and AbelCine has pioneered the use of the Phantom family. This year, the Phantom has added the new ultra-compact Miro model to its line. "The Miro is an amazing high-speed camera for its size, that of a small camcorder [like a Panasonic DVX100]," Gross notes. "Nevertheless, it captures full-frame HD [1080p] at up to 1500 FPS versus a maximum speed of 2500 FPS with Phantom Flex, but which costs considerably more." At Band Pro, Gillespie reports strong interest in the Sony FS700, which can capture 1080p at up to 240 FPS but is priced well below a Miro, at less than $10K with a lens. The FS700 can also be upgraded to 4K capture at additional cost.
As you would expect, seasoned pros relish today's cornucopia of digital cameras. Veteran Cinematographer Germano Saracco, AIC takes full advantage of the myriad camera options by selecting the camera best suited for each project. "Every job has its unique challenges that often are best solved by a particular camera," Saracco notes. "For 'America's Most Wanted' it's the Sony F3, because we have to be very mobile and shoot in all kinds of situations and conditions. We also need three rugged cameras with good ergonomics and large [27.1mm] sensors for shallow [depth of field] that are sensitive enough to use in available light. They also need to fit within our budget." Saracco chose the Canon EOS C300 to shoot the NBC shows "30 Rock" and "Animal Practice," both of which are scripted and require a fair number of setups per day. "There is a lot of handheld shooting in NBC's 'Animal Practice,' so camera weight was a key reason that we chose the C300," the DP explains. "Even though it only has 8-bit color space, [it] was sufficient for the purposes of the TV show. It also integrated nicely into the post workflow on 'Animal Practice' and '30 Rock.' Speed and mobility were also important on '30 Rock,' which has a lot of script pages."
To shoot the network pilot "Something Lost," Saracco chose the ALEXA. The show's producers and director envisioned a rich, cinematic TV drama, so a camera with slightly broader color space was needed. "The ALEXA has 12-bit color depth, which gives you plenty to work with in post," Saracco reports. "I really like the ergonomics too. After a while, the ALEXA felt like part of my skin. That's what you want when shooting handheld a lot." The DP adds that fast workflow with the 444 RAW files was also an important consideration. For feature films, two cameras appear to be miles ahead of the rest: the RED EPIC and Sony F65. Saracco chose the F65 to shoot Gardel, a period biopic about Tango sensation Carlos Gardel. "For features [on] the big screen, you need the richest color depth possible," he says. "The F65 captures 16-bit RAW linear, and there is also a fast and efficient workflow for it already. That made it a logical choice for this feature."
John Sharaf, an indie cinematographer who regularly shoots for CBS news shows, is blazing new production trails with compact cine cameras, like the ALEXA, EPIC and F3, by using them for ENG and EFP applications. "We've changed the look of CBS news magazines from ENG to drama with the new digital cameras with super 35mm sensors," says Sharaf. "The PL-mount cine lenses enable the bokeh needed for dramatic emphasis during interviews. With them, we get a richer, cinematic look that accents the subject." Sharaf also uses the Sony PVW-F800 XDCAM to shoot B-roll for the same shows, often intercutting them with footage from the compact cine cameras. Additionally, Sharaf uses digital cinema cameras to achieve a more theatrical look when shooting multi-camera live events. "I've been using F3s to shoot music videos, including multi-cam shoots," he says. "They already have the plug needed for connecting to a switcher or paint box. Hence we're able to feed the log signal to a bank of live color correctors inside the remote truck. Using a C-motion controller, we can also adjust the iris on all the F3s, even [from] hundreds of feet away via [Triax] fiber [cable]. It's fantastic to get that rich film look in a multi-camera shoot, especially for concerts."
Camera manufacturers seem well aware of the repurposing their cine cameras for live-event coverage, as they are now equipping them with the necessary connectors. "Recently we were able to use ALEXAs to shoot a live-switched, multi-cam Barbara Streisand concert," recalls Sharaf. "The enhanced dynamic range and reduced depth of field made it look more like a concert film than the live event that it was. Being able to give live events a theatrical look, while switching among multiple cameras, is going to create a new standard in live production that could enable this crop of compact cine cameras to last as long as beta SP did. This should extend the lifespan of cameras like the ALEXA, EPIC [and] F3 … from more than just a few years."
Sharaf cautions that lens manufacturers need to pitch if digital cine cameras are going to be widely adopted for multi-cam coverage of live and outdoor events. "The longest zoom ratio now available on a PL-mount digital cine lens is only 12X on Fujinon's 24–290mm lens, which weighs 25 pounds. With a 2X extender you get a maximum magnification of 24X, which is fine for a Streisand concert but won't cut it for sports coverage. The current crop of 2/3-inch outside broadcast (OB) cameras can and do use lenses ranging from 40–100X, especially for covering big sports events. Those ratios currently aren't available in PL mounts, but the new Fujinon 19–90mm lens could be a game changer for handheld shooting because it's light enough with a zoom ratio of 4.5 X 1.
So should we now anticipate a mad scramble as networks and video truck operators retool for sports coverage with the hottest compact, large-sensor cine cameras? Probably not, considering the lensing gap and the time it takes for manufacturers to offer new optical solutions (provided that the demand is substantial). But who knows? If our economy improves soon enough, droves of us may start buying new large, 4K flatscreen TVs. On the other hand, the 4K TV trend could turn out to be a bit of a short-term bubble, much like 3D appears to be for the moment, as profits from 3D films have slumped. Nevertheless, 3D does have its constituency, though it's not big enough to require a new crop of 3D cameras each year. Saracco just met NASA's sky-high expectations just fine with reliable twin Silicon Imaging SI-2K cameras on P+S Technik's new PS-Freestyle 3D rig. "The 2/3-inch camera sensors were the ideal size for good depth of field, which work best for 3D," says Saracco. "Although SI-2Ks only have 8-bit color space, the imagery was recorded at 10-bit color on a Cinedeck recorder." The DP adds that the finished film was projected in an IMAX theater and secured funding for NASA to continue work on the James Webb space telescope.
Ultimately, the perfect camera comes down to acquiring the right tools for the job and knowing how to use them effectively. "All of these cameras are a lot like hammers are to a carpenter," muses Gross. "The quality of what can be built with them has more to do with the carpenter than with the hammer. The hammer or the camera does have to meet basic specifications, and the craftsman has to feel comfortable with it, but, beyond that, the brand of tool is less important than the skill and experience of the craftsman, provided that it meets key specifications. That applies to cameramen as it does to carpenters."

Canadians finish a season-best ninth on FIVB beach volleyball World Tour
PHUKET, Thailand – Heather Bansley (in photo) and Elizabeth Maloney of Toronto completed a strong run at the final stop on the FIVB beach volleyball World Tour and will place a season high ninth on the circuit after dropping their two matches on Friday.
Bansley and Maloney, seeded 26th, had reeled off four straight wins in the first two days of competition including an upset of world champions Jennifer Kessy-Boss and April Ross of the U.S. on Thursday.
However in Friday's quarterfinal the Canadians lost to second seeds Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig of Germany 21-12, 21-14 and in the repechage were beaten by fourth seeds Kerri Walsh and Nicole Branagh of the U.S., 21-16, 21-18.
Walsh dominated the circuit with Misty May-Treanor in 2007 and 2008 and returned to the circuit just last week in China.
''We played three teams ranked in the top 10 in the world,'' said Maloney. ''The level of competition experience provided a great building block for the 2011 Olympic qualification year.''
Friday's result caps a promising season for Bansley and Maloney which also included the Canadian title and a gold medal on the North and Central American (NORCECA) circuit.

Comments: I've had at least 10 pairs of the version 3, and 2 of the version 4. I had to purchase one half size up in the 4's. Be warned - the issue is that the length of the toebox was scaled back between models. The uppers of the version 4 do not hold up like the version 3 Zoom Streak. The uppers rip out on the inside just above the top of the arch of the insole. Both shoes of each pair ripped between 50 and 100 miles of wear. However, the rip does not seem to significantly impact the fit and feel of the shoe. They remain secure and responsive. The new tread does tend to last longer but on cold days it is stiffer than the rubber used on the 3's and you'll notice a bit more "click" or "tap" sound at the footfall. The fit is similar (for me) to the version 3 except it seems to have a slight amount more midfoot protection/absorption - I won't say cushion as this is a great racing flat/lightweight trainer - and not a shoe you should try if you are looking for cushion. It is a fast shoe for 10K & up (roads). Given a choice on marathon day, I'll break out a pair of Zoom Streak 3's from my reserve, but once they are gone, I'll opt for the version 4 - unless Nike corrects the issues and makes the version 5 similar to the version 3!
From: Paul, Ohio, US
Comments: The shoe is quite heel unstable and that might not be a problem for road racing. on the other hand the cushoning is excellent. Anyway, I must express my disappointment since after 200km the inside mesh tore (looks like nike did those yellow horizontal cuts to ease the task), after 250km the external did the same and the shoe just wobbles on your feet. At least they don't have the extremely high arch like the streak 3. Still, I'm back to my adios 2, 20grams heavier but at least they're properly built, grippier and fit better.
From: Gabriele, Milan, Italy
Comments: Well,I have run 2 marathons in these with PRs and did a back to back marathon with these shoes which fitted well. These shoes are not for everyone; I have the streak 3s and they are different but i like the the 4s better. If you have feet just narrower than regular then these might be good i think. Its sad that i moved down south and my feet have swollen from the hot temperatures so Im sad i cannot wear them for my upcoming marathons.
From: Luke, Fort Riley, KS, USA
Comments: If you were a fan of the Streak 3, prepare to be disappointed. I went through two pairs of the 3 before finding, to my dismay, that there were no pairs left in my size. So I decided to try the 4. And, in typical Nike fashion, everything that was good in the 3 was not to be found in the 4. Gone was the no frills upper of the 3 that could accommodate my wide foot. The 4 also added more overlays which created a nasty hotspot on my first metatarsal head. And, as if it couldn't get any worse, the yellow mesh panel on the side of the shoe has ripped after only 50 miles of running. Nike, you have lost my seal of approval yet again.
From: Anon, Anytown, USA
Comments: Could not find any reviews or videos on this so I decided to see how they were myself. The shoe is a good flat, only ran 7 miles max in them and didn't have any problem. A wider mid-foot part than the zoom streak 3 so its a bit more comfortable. Nice and responsive also so if you have a wide foot than don't get these, but i hope they hold well on my marathon.

|In response to Re: new gas water heater
Look in the Yellow Pages and contact several of the plumbing shops listed. Send each of them a request similar to your post. It would be helpful to know if this is a simple replacement of and existing gas heater or if it will require plumbing in a new gas line and water connections. They will not quote a price for installation that requires plumbing new lines without first hand inspection of the job, but they should give you a firm price on heaters that fit your specifications. Get several bids on the labor, especially if it entails the new plumbing. If it is a simple take the old on out, put the new one in, labor is minimal, but you will probably either have to pay them to dispose of the old heater or have someone else haul it away.

Don Cherry's Nazem Kadri Twitter Rant
Thomas Drance
October 02 2012 11:10AM
If anyone wants to get a blue print on how to destroy someone, just follow the Toronto Maple Leafs— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) October 2, 2012
It's fair to say that Don Cherry and Brian Burke don't really get along. In fact, it was only last March that Cherry accused Burke of trying to get him fired, a charge CBC officials eventually denied.
Perhaps the largest particular bee in Cherry's bonnet, especially now that he doesn't have Ron Wilson to kick around anymore, concerns the Maple Leafs' treatment of once prized prospect Nazem Kadri. Today Cherry took to Twitter and lambasted the original six club over "fitness-gate" and the clubs continued mistreatment of Kadri.
Read on past the jump.
Here's the rant in full (the embedded tweet that leads off this post was actually the poetic conclusion of Cherry's rant):
I have never in my life seen a kid treated like Nazem Kadri by the Leafs. It started in his first training camp where he led the team in..— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) October 2, 2012
scoring but was blasted for his defensive faults. They don't blast Kulemin who scored 7 goals. They give him 5 million dollars. Now the...— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) October 2, 2012
Marlie coach comes out and rips Kadri in the newspaper saying he doesn't eat properly.Imagine headlines saying he's chubby and fatso.— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) October 2, 2012
I laughed pretty hard at, "saying he's fatso." I like that Don Cherry tweets exactly the same way that he talks.
Anyway, the Leafs and Dallas Eakins' ham-fisted treatment of this delicate issue was somewhat overblown in the media, in my view. While some in the Toronto Media saw it as a political shot across Gary Roberts' bow, I tend to believe Eakins' explanation that he was just giving an honest appraisal of Kadri's performance mid-way through his fitness testing.
Still, Eakins' use of the word "unacceptable" was ill-advised and gave the club another in a string of PR black-eyes - to go along with the public spat between the organization and Francois Allaire, and Cody Franson signing a "full season contract" (wink, wink) with Brynas IF of the SEL.
We're left to wonder while looking over the Maple Leafs news from the past couple of weeks, if maybe Cherry wasn't even talking about Kadri when he suggested that the Maple Leafs have a perfect, "blue print on how to destroy someone." Perhaps he was talking about Brian Burke's reputation.
October 02 2012, 12:26PM
This would definitely be in his Saturday rant if there wasn't a damn lockout...
I'm with you Steve, this would be up there on HNIC. Although I guess we can't hear that now.....but we still have the Marlies. GO MARLIES GO!
Funny.. I've never heard Cherry so eager to defend a player... he's usually the guy calling them "bums" and "pukes".
I mean.. I don't think Eakins is lying about the test results... and what is he supposed to do when asked the question? Lie?
Gotta love him - but this whole bromance Grapes has with Kadri seems a little odd to me.
October 03 2012, 09:08AM
Matt I think it is obvious that its more about Cherry ripping into Burke than him promoting Kadri.
Matt I think it is obvious that its more about Cherry ripping into Burke than him promoting Kadri.
I don't know.. GM's and coaches speak publicly all the time about young players needing to improve defensively and/or work on nutrition. Why is it considered sacrilege when it comes to Kadri? Because he happens to play in Toronto?
Afterall.. it was the Sun that called Kadri "fatso" and "chubby" - not the Leafs.
You can criticize them for their ineptitude with some roster moves.. and for their inability to make the playoffs for the better part of a decade... but this?
To me.. if you're a professional athlete and you come into camp out of shape (the one thing you have 100% control over)... that IS "unacceptable".
...and most especially if you've been doing interviews with these same Toronto rags proclaiming how "lean" you are.
I wanted to add that I like Kadri. I think he'll eventually become a servicable NHLer - hopefully in the top 6.
But he's no Sidney Crosby.. and he's certainly not above being critisized by his coach and ultimately his boss.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Mike McCandless presented to the commission proposals received from four companies for information for the Buckhorn Informational Center kiosks. The proposals were accepted by the commission for review and a decision will be made in the next commission meeting regarding which company to use.
There is some money left in the budget from the Buckhorn project. McCandless and the Emery County Travel Bureau requested the leftover money be used to add a lecture area with a fire pit, benches and a flag pole on a concrete pad. The area can be used for scouts, OHV groups, families and anyone. The cost estimates were between $16,000-$23,000. Commissioner Nelson said the expansion can be taken care of with a change order to the original project without incurring any additional expenses. The commission agreed to move forward with the project providing no additional funds are used.
The commission approved the request to advertise for restroom cleaning services for the Buckhorn restroom. Currently Deputy Mike Jorgensen has been keeping the restroom clean as he patrols the desert. McCandless thanked Jorgensen for this service to the county.
The commission determined to start advertising for bids which will be due by April 3 and opened on April 10 in commission meeting.
Security cameras are in place at the new information center and the road department was also commended for the work they have done at the site. A grand opening is planned for the Buckhorn Information center sometime before Easter if all goes as planned. There will be a host at the facility on busy weekends and holidays. The county would welcome volunteers that would like to host at the location at other times as well. The building has been designed to be an unattended source of information because it has a large amount of information available to visitors. When a host is present they can sit at the roll down window and answer questions and hand out materials to visitors. The Emery County Commission opened bids for the remodeling and replacement of flooring in the 24 units owned by the Emery County Housing Authority. Bids came in from Arrowhead Construction for $133,358; Riverstone Construction-$160,500; Construction Solutions-$156,750; Metro Builders-$155,462; Stilson Construction-$148,144. This construction project is being funded through a community development block grant. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he would take the bids and compare them and if everything checks out the bid will be awarded to the lowest bidder.
Ross Hinkins, Tracy Behling, and Lee McElprang were re-appointed to the Emery Water Conservancy District board. Others applying for the positions included Diane Bott, Clyde Magnuson and Kent Petersen.
The commission approved the service agreement between Emery County and Honeywell Building Solutions for the Aquatic Center. Commissioner James Nelson said they have been the service provider since the pool opened. They also provide consulting service over the phone to avoid service calls.
Rod Player was appointed to the Trails committee.
The commission approved the agreement with Rocky Mountain Power for the re-location of power poles on the Miller Creek road. Road improvements will take place there this year.
The project lists for the CIB were approved. Projects must be on the lists to be considered for funding by the Community Impact Board. The commission approved the letter of understanding with Siemens Industry to begin assessments of the libraries in Emery County. They will determine places where improvements might be made for cost savings in heating and utility costs and other areas of consideration. The service doesn't cost the county anything for the evaluations.
A representative from Jones and DeMille Engineering requested an amendment to the agreement they had with the county for the engineering work at the Buckhorn Information site. The BLM made a lot of changes which resulted in extra work and changes for Jones and DeMille. The agreement was for $14,600 to cover engineering costs. The construction period was extended by BLM and there were delays in the project. Currently Jones and DeMille has $21,400 into the project for their costs alone without any profit on the project.
Commissioner Horrocks said the county will make it right with Jones and Demille, but he wishes they had come forward sooner so the added expenses could be sent to the BLM. Commissioner Nelson made a motion to approve the cost list from Jones and DeMille as long as it doesn't exceed the budget.
Bret Mills, from the sheriff's office communication department discussed the financial agreement with Larcan USA for communication equipment to be purchased and reimbursed by a grant under the Low Power TV and translator upgrade program. The county will need to send in all of the receipts and create a paper trail so the money can be reimbursed. The county will hold onto the equipment until it's been reimbursed which can take anywhere up to a year.
Sheriff Greg Funk complimented Mills on his work. Mills has secured $8 million in grants for the county for electronic equipment since 2004.
Under citizen concerns Randall Stilson thanked the county for the fine search and rescue program operating in the county. They had to come out and find him and responded in a timely manner.
In the commissioners reports Commissioner JR Nelson thanked the volunteer firemen for all the time they put in. The fire district is considering the options available for the purchase of a ladder or a bucket truck. They are talking to the power plants to see what would work best for them. Commissioner Nelson said he is working with the Sevier County Commission on the cattle underpass being considered for the Quitchupah road. The cattlemen still need to be able to trail their cattle to the range in an effective manner. He said he also attended a rock art field trip and is always amazed at the quality rock art in Emery County. He said he's not satisfied with the passing of HB 176 which deals with the way the lands bills will be handled by the state in the future. Ray Petersen, public lands director will need to write a report explaining why the county is doing what it is doing in regards to the Emery County Public Lands Use bill.
Commissioner Horrocks said yes, it has been frustrating but the county will continue trying to get the lands use bill out of the state legislature and onto Washington DC.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth reported the community theatre was presenting Mame. Festive Friday is being conducted by the Extension Service. The road department helped with the demolition of the old forest service house on Castle Dale Main Street. The property has been purchased by Castle Dale City and will expand the fairgrounds. Possibly a volleyball court and horse shoe pits will be constructed there along with picnic tables.
Commissioner Horrocks said he spent a week in St. George attending the water users conference. He thanked the local water districts for all the work and training they do for the county.
In the local building authority meeting the commission will start advertising for bids for the remodel of the Huntington Senior Citizen building. The site showing will be on April 2 and bid opening on April 10 at commission meeting. There are three different plans for the remodel.
Commissioner Pitchforth will meet with Conae Black from Green River City to discuss partnering with Green River on the construction of a new fire station and public safety complex for Green River. Recently the CIB has been more favorable to county/city partnerships with projects. If the building goes forth it will share a common wall and all utilities will be billed separately to the two entities.

Hole in the back of the shoe...
"For some reason there is a hole in the back of the shoe toward the top of it. I have no idea why this would be placed in a shoe or in that area but ok. I did not see this in the description before I bought these or I would have never bought them for my dad. That aside, the seem durable and comfortable."

super comfortable
"My husband loves these sneakers so much that he bought a pair in blue, a pair in black & then wanted more for when they get worn out. There were no more available in blue, but he bought 3 more pairs of the black. He also recommended them to his brother, who bought a pair & also said they're the most comfortable shoes ever."

At the final city council meeting for 2013 the council bid farewell to Councilman Kent Johnson. He served for eight years. He was elected November 2005 and began his term of service January 2006. During this time he was key to bring about many changes that have made Green River a much better place to live. He helped develop Melon Days. He brought Julie Zwahlen on board as Melon Days Coordinator and as one of his final contributions he extended Melon Days a day beginning next year. Zwahlen said, "He was very supportive and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He is going to continue to help out on the Melon Days Committee. He was over the Parks Department and brought about many improvements some of which included upgrading the electrical around the park, the fences around the ball field and the tennis court. One project he over saw was the street widening on Solomon by the ball field which used to bottleneck horribly.
"He helped improve the curb and gutter in Green River and one of the largest drainage problems was resolved under his direction.
"Johnson was the first to balance the solid waste budget. He helped develop the shooting sports park and the trap shooting. He has been a very good council member, bringing diversity to the table and really caring about Green River. He was steady, very involved and made Green River a better place to live," said Zwahlen.
Mayor Pat Brady commented, "I have really enjoyed serving with him over the last six years. He has really good ideas and great things came to pass because of him. We would like to thank Kent for his years of service."
The grant from the State Aeronautical Department of Transportation for the airport pavement preservation was approved. The contract with Ken Young of Utah Community Planners that was discussed in last month's meeting was approved.
The Tesla charging station was approved to be put in at the JWP Museum since the changes to the contract were made that were discussed at the meeting last month.
A presentation on more efficient water meters was presented to the council for consideration. This system would not involve a big capital investment from the city. They charge a fraction of a penny per gallon.
Capital Facilities priority list was discussed. There are deficiencies and they recommend improvements be made to eliminate deficiencies such as leaks, replace pipe that is too small, bottleneck areas and there may be some failures. There are some sewer pipes that are deteriorating. There needs to be paving done, curb and gutter.
On Main Street, there is UDOT money that can be applied for to help improve the curb and gutter on Main Street. Paving Elgin Avenue was discussed along with some drainage issues.
On Dec. 17 at 5 p.m. in Castle Dale at the monthly commissioners meeting there was a discussion on Emery County tippage fee for the Emery County Landfill.
This could mean a price increase for residents of Green River. The county wants to charge $10 per ton on loads over 1,000 pounds which comes out to be approximately $1.07 more per can you could be paying and commercial will be more than double or triple that per small dumpster. The land fill will let people dump a pickup truck load for free up to 1,000 pounds.
Residents of Green River need to voice to the commissioners the need for garbage from the Green River transfer station to remain free. Currently City Sanitation hauls over everything from the transfer station. The transfer station is where residents can take their pickup truck load. Because of the distance involved no one is going to take their pickup truck load from Green River over to the other end of the county to dump in the landfill for free, so Green Rivers loads from the transfer station need to remain free as a service to Green River residents.
The commissioners tabled the matter of the tippage fee at the public hearing until further research can be completed that will be fair and equitable to all Emery County residents.

Skip to comments.Jill Kelley outraged other military liaisons with her flirty ways [Her fee was $80 million] $80MIL
Posted on 11/14/2012 7:16:32 PM PST by BunnySlippers
Adam Victor, president of TransGas Development in New York, was in town to network and find business opportunities. Someone introduced him to Kelley, and the two spoke in a VIP section of the convention hall.
Victor said Kelley described herself as a close friend to Petraeus, which impressed him. In fact, he said, Kelley told him she might help him with a coal gasification project in South Korea. She said she could gain him access to the highest levels of the South Korean government, Victor said.
Kelley told him she was an honorary consul for South Korea, and Victor said she told him she had obtained the position with the help of Petraeus.
Kelley and Victor later met in New York. Kelley mentioned her fee if any deal was brokered $80 million. The fee was so unrealistic and excessive, Victor said, he immediately realized he was dealing with an amateur. He rejected it out of hand. He said Kelley then asked for a counter proposal. But Victor wasn't biting.
(Excerpt) Read more at tampabay.com ...
Wait, I thought this crazy lady lived in a mansion. You would think someone who lived in a mansion might.. oh heck, who are we kidding. This country is full of freaking stupid people.
The article also adds that her doctor husband was recently sued for "wrongful death". And that many others felt her behavior was offensive.
Heh heh heh
Kelley sounds like a fruitcake left over from Christmas, 1951.
And others noticed her emails were inappropriate INCLUDING Gen. Allen's wife who complained. ellen was told to stop emails several times.
I'm waiting to see this woman brought up on charges.
There's something very fishy about this one.
I bet she's been violated many times.
I can see it coming...
Dancing with the Stars
Real Housewives of Miami
And eventually "Keeping Up with the Kelleys"
In this case, real life outpaces fiction....
... and to think they just threw this tidbit in at the end of the article.
Yes, there's something very wrong about her part in this whole mess. With my tinfoil hat firmly atop my head, I actually wonder if she's working for foreign intel. If so, why did she expose the Petreaus-Broadwell affair?
Co-starring Michelle Salahi, her cuckolded deadbeat ex-husand and her new rockstar mate.
Wow...I don't think I'd trust Ms. Kelley to care for my pet rabbit any time soon.
From the article:
"..Btw I was made the (honorary) Ambassador to US Central Command's Coalition!" she told a Times reporter in a Sept. 28 e-mail. "In addition to that, I was just recently appointed to be the Honorary Consulate General to South Korea! I'm in DC today just left from breakfast at the White House.... I really hope to see you soon!"..."
Breakfast at the WHITE HOUSE SEPTEMBER 28!!???
Not saying she ate with O, but the Khawam's do DC. In a big way
Still wonder who is paying retainer for Abbe Lowell
She's dirty alright.
Petraeus is clearly a schmuck.
He seems to have no sense of judgement nor values.
It seems that Kip Ward the AA grifter
is less dangerous to the nation then P4.
Seems too kooky to be used by any conspiracy or intel org but perhaps not.
Maybe you're right, but I'd sure like to know how this wannabe got to where she's at.
I hear ya. $80 million...
Woman has some gigantic stones doesn't she.
Can we toss her off a local peer? Please...
just left from breakfast at the White House.... I really hope to see you soon!...
After all, it is the people's house. These people—Beyonce, JayZ, Ayers, Ms. Kelly, Muslim Brotherhood, and oh that couple that crashed in 2010. We need to get James O'Keefe all pimped up in there to see what is going on.
Re: your post about a trusted email saying the twins were in to take Petraeus down.
After reading this article I think trusted email is right
Crazy twins have used & abused military connections. I wonder if Petraeus caught wind of how his name was being thrown around and confronted crazy, now vindictive twins. Natalie accused her ex of everything except having sex with little boys.
$50 says that you're talking about future reality TV stars. Watch, I see reality TV all over this.
You mean like the State Dept just approved her ID to be Embassy Counsel to South Korea??
Maybe a job well done to deserve a little thank you promotion?
Maybe she ate a donut while waiting in line for a White House tour and considered that breakfast at the White House. haha
It is very interesting....we need to know if she really did have breakfast at the White House.
Sort of like Breakfast at Tiffany's? :D
Probably because she's dumber than a box of rocks.
People sometimes luck into certain situations. She's an amateur trying to play in a big boys/girls arena. She got in over her head, and tried to get even with Broadwell, thinking that wouldn't touch Petreaus, or come back at her.
At any rate, she's chin deep in it now. She's destroyed any chance she'll be seen as a big player in the future.
She's toxic.
That Broadwell was some piece of work too. What the hell was she thinking, talking about classified information?
Boy these two really thought they were something special. I'm thinking they qualify for the special olympics based on how they screwed this up beyond belief.
Looks like an old Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, or Bob Hope plot.
Too bad two generals got mixed up in this. What a shame.
I'm sure neither one of us would be surprised if true. But chances are we'll never find out anyway.
There was an entry in Wiki done from Centcom IP at the beginning of the year.
It called Jill an amateur ambassador and chess player.
This is why women should not be allowed in the military.
The old boys had it right.
My impression is that this is nothing but a name only honor. I don't think she had any actual diplomatic function officially. Did she?
I thought the base gave her a pseudo fake status position so she could attend functions without trouble.
Is it more than that, in truth, or was she milking the fake status for all it was worth making contacts here and there?
I laughed out loud at this comment. I'm sure you meant pier and not peer, but the thought of throwing her off a local peer.........well that's just funny. The only time that might happen is if he heard his wife come home unexpectedly.
Yes! I just read that...oh..my...gawd!
Breakfast at the White House Set 28!!!
See, that pretty much touches on my opinion of her. I think she was a busy-body operator.
She had plenty of emails from the general still on station in Afghanistan didn't she? Jill...
If so, I can't believe none of it was inappropriate.
Yes, what else happened at the White House on September 28? It seems like there was some news on the 28th. Will have to search.
Turns out they were also being invited to events by John Kerry and Senator Sheldon!
I wonder how many others in DC know these women!
The twit twins seem to work as a team. Tampa twit. DC twit.
I had forgotten about the RNC in Tampa & DNC in Charlotte. I will keep my imagination in check. It might not be a bad idea to see if we can place them at the DNC and look for a common denominator.
"Probably because shes dumber than a box of rocks."
Yes, and I'd like to take this opportunity to loudly point out that NOT ONE of these dumb boxes of rocks has been a blonde.
So far, anyway. Tomorrow is another day!
The DoD announced that it was an attack on Benghazi. AND the Jewish, Copt, Salafist filmdubber was arrested.
She seems so sloppy, I doubt any intelligence agency would want to have much to do with her.
Connection to White House, John Kerry and Senator Sheldon.
On September 28, 2012
Jill Kelley had breakfast at the White House.
Bibi Netanyahu spoke at the UN.
The DoD announced that terrorists attacked the mission at Benghazi and that it was not a protest over a video.
The evil filmdubber was arrested.
Just more and more embarrassing for her - a lightweight wanting to play in the bigs.
"I wonder how many others in DC know these women!"
Tomorrow's lead story will be about a D.C. call girl ring.
Real Camp Followers of the US Army
Doesn't anyone want to call the twins what they are — Cock Tease 1 and her wingman Cock Tease 2.
Petraeus and Allen knew better; they just let their #1 needles do their thinking.
Hard to believe that Petraeus and Allen allowed themselves to be taken in by these two bozos.
It's only honorary - lets you get on the base,etc. But she bragged about it & flaunted it..made her feel like a big player.
She & her husband even bought their car license plates with the name Embassy Counel. She has no real standing except pass priveleges & whatever else she can milk out of it. She always flaunted the fact that Petraeus was her friend & helped her get this 'title'.
They did put on a big show, though - owed millions & their home is in default for 2 years.
$50 says that youre talking about future reality TV stars. Watch, I see reality TV all over this.

When planning international travel, one of the last items many people consider is their wireless device. However, it could be the most costly. Using mobile devices without an appropriate cellular/data service planning while traveling in another country, including Canada, can lead to very high roaming charges. It is not uncommon to see bills come back hundreds of dollars above normal and there are documented extreme cases in the thousands of dollars. Below are several considerations to take for international travel:
Device Standards:
Check for any operating issues with using your device(s) abroad by referring to the user's guides or you can contact your service provider. To ensure the broadcast coverage, a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) device is recommended. To roam in Japan or South Korea, a 3G device that operates at 2100 MHz is required. You can also check with the following service providers travel guides; AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
Add International Service to your Device:
If you are able and planning to use your device while traveling internationally, you must be sure to contact your wireless provider to add the correct service needed. You need to be sure to evaluate voice, text, and data plans needed. Some providers have separate plans for voice, text, and data so be sure to activate all services needed. You can review international options with the following service providers: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
Rent Device/Service for Overseas:
There are three options to renting services for international use. 1) Contact your carrier to first see if they cover the country you will be traveling to and then ask them about providing rental service. Be sure it is only a rental and that no long term contract will be signed. (Some carrier's global phones might work on different networks overseas causing slower speeds) 2) Go with a national rental service. There are several national rental services which allow you to pay only for your usage. There are several companies that offer voice/data rental plans like National Geographic Talk Abroad Travel Service, Mobal International, Travelcell, and Cellhire. 3) Rent a local cell phone after you arrive at your destination. This was the most popular a few years ago, but has generally become the more expensive option.
Always Backup your Data:
Back up data for each device before you depart; best to back it up on something you do not plan to take or a cloud-based service. The exact method of how to accomplish this will depend on your device/service. Contact your provider for additional details.
Keep Device Off:
When you're not using your device it's best to keep it turned off especially if you lock it up in the hotel room safe. This is one way to avoid any mistaken charges for data that may occur.
According to the US Department of State there can be strict regulations about importing and exporting items, which could include technology devices. They recommend checking with the embassy of the country you plan to visit to determine what you can or can't bring in or out of the country. For a list of Foreign Embassy website pages, please visit: State Department's Foreign Embassy website page.
Be sure you have the appropriate power adapters that match the outlets in your destination. Click here to discover the types of plug/socket that will be needed for your trip. You should also power the device off and on when reaching your destination. This allows the device to connect to local cell towers and stops it from searching for its accustomed domestic towers.
Turn off cellular data services on your wireless device. Having Wi-Fi only should mitigate extra charges. If your device automatically pushes email to your phone; it is best to change the setting to Manual. Many hotels provide service for a fee or have free service in the lobby. You can also look for internet cafes that provide Wi-Fi.
Other Calling Solutions:
Placing calls from your cellular device overseas can be costly. There are several software plug-ins using data instead of voice service to place a call like Skype, Jajah, RebTel, Truphone, Google Voice, or Yahoo messaging. When using these services you can place calls while on a free internet connection. Some do charge fees, so it's best to investigate which service fits your need along with destination. Assistance with these services can be attained by visiting the specific company's technical support.
*If you use one of the services above or any other voice/video conferencing remember you will be using data service. If that data usage is via your cellular data plan you may incur additional charges which could be quite substantial if roaming both domestically or internationally. If you are in a location where you can utilize Wi-Fi, it is recommended to do so to decrease the utilization of your cellular data plan.
Security concerns related to the use of third-party Wi-Fi networks is out of the scope of this document. For additional information on these matters, please contact the WKU-IT Security office via email at email@example.com.
