By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Castle Dale City Council held its regular monthly meeting on Sept. 11. To open the meeting, Mayor Neal Peacock asked for a moment of silence in remembrance of the victims of September 11, 2001.
The first agenda item was a Castle Dale resident with concerns about young people in the streets at night. It was reported to the council that the resident's home had been vandalized by some young boys setting a fire on the front porch. Also, the resident's daughters home had been egged. This resident reported that law enforcement they had purportedly been called and had told them that there is no curfew law in Castle Dale.
Mayor Peacock assured the resident that there is definitely a curfew law in Castle Dale. He reported that the curfew law now in effect is universal for the entire county. Several years ago, the mayors met with the sheriff's office to make the law uniform for ease of enforcement. The curfew law reads that no person under the age of 16 is to be out on the streets between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The resident also reported that the officer had told them not to worry as these are only harmless pranks. The resident informed the council that they do not feel that a fire and throwing eggs to be harmless. Another resident reported having heard gunshots near the elementary school during school hours.
Mayor Peacock was very concerned and assured the residents that he will personally talk to the law enforcement and express his concern over these incidents. These are very serious acts of aggression and will not be tolerated. Discharging a firearm inside city limits is a federal offense. He will do whatever is required to ensure that the curfew law is enforced.
In other city business, the council approved the names of residents to be called for election judges. The council also discussed the need for an ordinance requiring sewer connections. Councilman Jack Rogers has written a new ordinance for consideration and he presented it to the council. Councilman Doug Weaver read a portion of the city code that expresses nearly the same items.
After the discussion of the differences in the two ordinances and the events leading to this necessity, the council approved to advertise the new ordinance and hold a public hearing on it before the next council meeting.
Councilman Weaver proposed an amendment to the current city code regarding commercial property and subdivision developers. This amendment would require the owners and developers to be responsible for the installation of curb, gutter and sewer. Weaver also informed the council of the need to hold a hearing for the appointment of new members on the planning and zoning committee. The guidelines for these appointments also require clarification.
Mayor Peacock instructed Councilman Weaver to contact Bryant Anderson and Kerry Lake for investigation into the matter of a construction project. The contractor has not obtained a second water and sewer connection for a second building. It was the contractors feeling that the buildings are on the same state owned property and he could connect the two buildings. Mayor Peacock has some reservations concerning the codes and legalities of this action.
Castle Dale City approved the placement of three dumpsters around the city for the fall clean up.
Also the burn window is Sept. 20-Oct. 19. Mayor Peacock stressed the need for residents to obtain a burn permit at city hall prior to burning. This is necessary for the fire department to be aware of where the fires are and when.
Councilman Brad Giles requested the council to inform the residents of Castle Dale to remove all obstructions including trees, shrubs and debris from around all traffic signs and sidewalks.
The next Castle Dale City Council meeting will be held Oct. 9 at 7 p.m.

She took great pride in her work, family, friends and she especially enjoyed those she was acquainted with through her work. She loved to travel, visit, and no matter where you went, Sharon and Deke were always together. They were a truly remarkable couple who were inseparable, whether at work or play.

PRICE- Arsenio "Rick" Velasquez, age 52, passed away while surrounded by family on Tuesday, April 2, 2008 at the University of Utah Hospital from injuries sustained in a work related accident.
He was born June 16, 1955 in Price to Arsenio "Walter" and Sarah Talamante Velasquez.
Rick graduated from Carbon High School in 1973. After graduation, he moved to Grand Junction, Colo. for a brief period, but spent most of his adult life in Price.
He was a loving, giving, brother, son and friend who adored his family. He had a loud booming voice and a big heart. Rick was very close to his parents and he would call them as often as four times a day. He loved spending time with his nephews and nieces, and he enjoyed hunting, camping, and fishing. Rick was a professional truck driver employed by Savage Services in Price at the Carbon Transport operation. He loved his job and often said it was the best job he ever had. Rick enjoyed his work so much that he recommended truck driving to everyone.
He was passionate about music. He loved all types of music, especially Christian, country, and rock music. He loved to sing along with his favorite artists and his favorite bands included Third Day and Lynyrd Skynard. Rick enjoyed gardening, and he loved planting and harvesting a variety of chilies, peppers, and other garden vegetables. Rick was loved by many and will be greatly missed by all.
Survived by his parents, Arsenio and Sarah Velasquez, Price; brothers and sisters, Mark (Kim) Velasquez, Lehi; Darlene (Gary) Jerant, West Valley; Jolene (Roger) McKinnon, Price; Julie (Duane) Adderley, Price; nieces and nephews, Tanica, Thomas, and Taylor Jerant; Rebecca McKinnon; Markee, Nikolas, and Shaydee Velasquez; Austin, Andrew, and Jaylee Adderley; and a special friend, Tracie Perkins.

The family would like to thank all the courageous people who assisted at the accident site and to the staffs at the University of Utah and Castleview hospitals for the special care and attention they provided Rick.

Price-Brent Nikas Hobi, age 60, passed away April 6, 2008 in Provo at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
He was born Sept. 21, 1948 in Columbus, Ohio to Nikki Nikas and Joe Hobi.
Brent grew up in Orange County, Calif. He served his country in the US Army from 1965-1968 while stationed in Korea. Not long after returning from the service, Brent joined his family in Price, Utah in 1972.
Soon after arriving, he began working in the local trade of coal mining and fell in love with it. He started with Energy West Mining in the DesBeeDove Coal Mine, later went to Deer Creek, and finally to Trail Mountain. He retired from the mining industry in 2001 after 29 years with the same company.
He married Marie Colledge on Dec. 17, 1989 in Price. They spent most of their time on the golf course. Brent loved to golf and watch golf and talk about golf. If anyone could make golf interesting, it was Brent, as he was giving the play-by-play of each and every shot he had ever made.
He loved all sports, especially baseball. He and Marie traveled many times to Mesa, Ariz., to watch his favorite team the Chicago Cubs in spring training. Golf in the morning and baseball in the afternoon- the perfect world. He also loved entertaining family and friends with "Melissa" (his guitar) and his incredible singing. One of his favorite songs to play was Rockin' Robin.
His mom tells stories about Brent growing up. He was always quite the story teller. They would sit down to eat dinner and each would take a turn telling the events of the day. Nikki always had to have Brent go last because she knew that once he started, he wouldn't shut up. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

"Feminine and everything you want in a spring wedge. The material is quality without being heavy. Of course with every peep-toe shoe, there's always that point where your toes can do long take the pressure. But if you can take that, I highly recommend this shoe. I can't wait to wear it to brunch!"

FlamesNation chats with Jon Gillies
Ryan Pike
July 13 2012 09:40AM
(FN's Ryan Pike continues his series of interviews with Flames prospect camp attendees)
A product of the Indiana Ice of the USHL, Maine native Jon Gillies brings a strong body of work to the Calgary Flames after being chosen in the third round of the 2012 Entry Draft. He's also got a very, very large body – he stands 6-5 and weighs over 200 pounds. FlamesNation's Ryan Pike chatted with Gillies in-between sessions at the Flames' annual development camp.
Ryan Pike: Did you know much about the Calgary Flames prior to being drafted by them?
Jon Gillies: Not really. I only really knew Miikka Kiprusoff and Jarome Iginla, because everyone knows them. Other than that, I just knew they were in Western Canada. It's nice to come up here and learn a lot more about it.
RP: Is it intimidating coming to such a hockey-crazy market?
JG: It's pretty cool. It's a hockey-first country and that's the way it should be. When you watch TSN and stuff, hockey comes on first. I've always loved it up here. It was nice. It's cool.
RP: How are you preparing for next season?
JG: Just working out, mostly. My biggest weakness right now is my physical strength in my legs and stuff like that, so I've just been working out four days a week, going as hard as I can. It's showing off a little bit here, I've noticed it on the ice, and keep going forward.
RP: Have you chatted with any of the veteran NCAA goalies at the camp?
JG: Not too much. It's more just watching the players. You watch Johnny Gaudreau go around and the kid's just unbelievable. It's more just getting accustomed to guys like that, seeing all the calibre players that play in the NCAA, but as far as talking to goalies, not too much.
RP: You must like getting a bit of a head-start on Gaudreau for next season, eh?
JG: [Laughs] There's no head-start on that kid. You go one way, he shoots the other. It's truly phenomenal. He's so fun to watch. I don't want to play against him. [Laughs]
RP: Do you have any goals for your first year with Providence College?
JG: Just a good first season and just be consistent, mostly. Don't get too up or too down during the season. It's a short season, so you need to be going at all times. I want to be playing as hard as I can for as long as I can and give my team the best chance to win every night.
July 13 2012, 10:11AM
The Gaudreau PR is unstoppable. He's got goalies he's never met pumping his tires.
Thanks once again for the interview Ryan! In the last one, I had mentioned Jankowski's answers were bland; didn't want that to be a knock on your questions/reporting at all, just trying to decipher these kids' personalities. Like I said previously, it must be freaky for these young guys to have full grown adults bombarding them with questions after being worked like dogs.
On that note, Gillies seems interesting. Definitely knows where his physical weakness lies, and isn't afraid to joke around during interviews. That's one thing I hate about Sidney Crosby (among other things) - his comments to reporters are just so dull and meaningless.
"Yeah, you know, we just have to get out there and give it 110%. We need to shoot the puck more, keep our legs moving, and stop them from scoring. Key to the game is putting da puck in da net".
Jeremy Roenick may have been an a$$, but at least he had personality.
Also, how is Gaudreau's name pronounced? Goo-drow?
July 13 2012, 11:33AM
I think the quote about Iginla and Kiprusoff is telling. As Flames fans a lot of us are fully willing to accept a rebuild at this point, in the interest of maintaining long-term competitiveness. However I think it's easy to forget just how important those two guys are to the identity of the franchise; not just to fill seats, but in an overarching sense as well.
to know for sure, you'd have to ask Cheese himself. But that's how it sounds in my head, and that's how most people I've heard say it pronounce it.
Head's up to FlamesNation that we Friar Hockey fans are psyched to have Jon Gillies coming to Providence College - we are hoping Mark Jankowski decides to join him for this coming season as well...
Nate Leaman is a great coach who is reviving the Friar hockey program and both young men will benefit greatly by playing in the always competitive Hockey East.

Alexandra Fletcher and Rachel Swift are a curator and a conservator working at Domuztepe, a Late Neolithic site (about 6200-5500 BC) in south eastern Turkey. This series of posts traces the weekly progress of their recent excavation season.
Rachel Swift, British Museum
The trickle of small finds from site has increased as the digging has really got going and I have been cleaning lots of Neolithic beads, including a group found lying together as if they were once a necklace. I have also had the chance to do some digging on site giving me a better understanding of the context for the finds I work on.
I helped to excavate a large oven which I then had to draw a plan of – resurrecting archaeological skills I haven't used in a while.
At the end of this week the whole dig team has a slightly longer break than normal – two days off instead of one. It's great to get sleep without being bothered by mosquitoes and recharge our energy that tends to get low in the relentless heat. It gets hotter than 40˚ C on most days.
Alexandra Fletcher, British Museum
The site is working really well and the plan of a Late Neolithic house with several rooms is gradually emerging.
The walls are made from mud and are surrounded by soil formed from the collapse of more mud walls. This makes them very hard to see and excavate properly. You end up scanning the soil carefully for slight signs of straight lines or different textures. Then you feel your way through the deposits using your trowel with a forward thrusting, twisting motion. This looks most odd to anyone used to working in the wet soils of Britain, where you tend to scrape the soil backwards.
Hopefully, the thump and twist motion means you spot the point where the soil breaks vertically and that's your wall face. You really have to have the courage of your own conviction, because if you keep digging past the face – it's gone forever.
Needless to say everyone is getting sore arms and bruised palms from chasing wall edges.

Too Bad
"I ordered this shoe online thinking it was super cute. I wish companies wouldn't put ill fitting or unusable items on sale for their customers to deal with. This shoe is not functional. The strap doesn't fit into the buckle. After trying to unbuckle the shoe so I could put it on I gave up after 15 minutes. I figured if I couldn't get the strap out of the loop or undone how could I ever get it to re-buckle."

RIAA Eyes Next Possible Targets: CD Burners, Radio Listeners

The RIAA's recent case and a pending case in the UK provide some insight into whom it might prosecute next
The Recording Industry Association of America is the oft villainized copyright-infringement watchdog for the music industry in the U.S. Its letters to music sharers have led to thousands of settlement over the last few years. Now, following its
recent success
in the jury civil trial
Capitol Records, et al v. Jammie Thomas
, which resulted in a jury verdict of $222,000 in damages, many wonder who the RIAA might target next.
The RIAA might have given a clue during testimony by music industry lawyers in the
case. During the case Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, was called to testify. Pariser noted that music labels make no money on bands touring, radio, or merchandise, so they are particularly vulnerable to file sharing. She went on to say that when people steal music the label is harmed.
Pariser believes in a very broad definition of stealing that is echoed by many supporters in the RIAA. She believes that users who buy songs are entitled to one, and only one copy. Burning CDs is just another name for stealing, in her mind. "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'."
Such logic has been a driving force behind efforts to "rights manage" music including the current DRM found on Apple's iTunes files and Microsoft's DRM, which is also widespread.
While it seems unlikely that the RIAA would be able to effectively identify "burners", such litigation remains a legal possibility for the RIAA and major music labels, in the minds of their lawyers.
Another possible avenue of legal action for the RIAA is the pursuit of businesses that play unauthorized music in stores. The Performing Rights Society (PRS), Britain's version of the RIAA, may give the RIAA some possible ideas
with its pending litigation
. The PRS is suing the Kwik Fit Group, a car repair shop in Edinburgh, for £200,000 in damages. The case revolves around the complaint that Kwik Fit employees brought in personal radios which they played while working on cars, which could be heard by colleagues and customers. The PRS says this amounts to a public "performance" and should have entailed royalties.
The possible implications if this litigation succeeds are numerous. The RIAA could pursue retailers like Borders Books who play music in their restrooms or on their store floors. They could also seek action against small businesses that have radios in their stores.
These possible future targets may seem outlandish or farfetched, but the RIAA and its foreign equivalents have some heavy legal firepower. It hires many of the country's top lawyers and have gained millions in settlements and recently have added the $222,000
verdict to its coffers.
Some fear the RIAA is overstepping its bounds, including in the
case. Rep. Rick Boucher, a Virginia Democrat, and strong advocate of fair use, recently
went on record
stating that the trial verdict was excessive and "way out of line" with other cases of this nature.
The Bush Administration feels that the case was very fair and was a
positive example of our nation's laws at work
"Cases such as this remind us strong enforcement is a significant part of the effort to eliminate piracy, and that we have an effective legal system in the U.S. that enables rights holders to protect their intellectual property."
With the RIAA's powerful legal, financial, and political backers nobody can truly say what it impossible for it to accomplish. Now as it is in the midst of delivering its
eighth wave of infringement letters
to colleges, it may soon be turning its attention to CD burners or businesses that play music in front of customers.

Leinster claimed their second trophy this year thanks to a 24-18 victory over Irish rivals Ulster in the PRO12 Final in Dublin on Saturday.
Leinster claimed their second trophy this year thanks to a 24-18 victory over Irish rivals Ulster in the PRO12 Final at the RDS in Dublin on Saturday.
Just a week after clinching the Challenge Cup, Leinster erased memories of last season's lost final by leading from start to finish on home soil.
Tries on either side of half time from Shane Jennings and Jamie Heaslip saw a classy Leinster side secure a deserved domestic and European double.
Ulster responded manfully through the boot of Ruan Pienaar, but a sizeable error count handed the initiative to their provincial rivals. In truth, the boys in blue were the better side.
For Leinster, this superb performance copper fastens their status as one of the pre-eminent forces in Europe, delivering the elusive league title they so craved, and giving Joe Schmidt a worthy send off.
It was an energetic start from both sides, but a poor kick from Paddy Jackson immediately handed the momentum to Leinster on the three-minute mark. From the ensuing line-out, a pick and go from the Leinster back row saw Jennings drive over for the opening try. Jonathan Sexton converted to give Leinster the perfect start.
The Challenge Cup champions were assuredly in the ascendancy, and the departing Sexton compounded Ulster's misery on seven minutes, when he slotted a penalty to make it 10-0 to the Dubliners.
But Ulster responded as they desperately needed to. A series of scrums on the Leinster five-metre line saw John Afoa turn the screw on Cian Healy. The Ulster pack seemed to have the Leinster line at their mercy, but Nick Williams failed to control at the base and Ian Madigan was able to clear Leinster's lines to avert danger.
Ulster appeared to have settled their palpable nerves by the 15 minute mark, and began to secure parity in terms of possession. Robbie Diack seemed to have squeezed in at the corner on 17 minutes, but Sexton did really well to hold him up.
For all Ulster's endeavour, Leinster seemed very much in control, but were certainly assisted by Ulster's profligacy. Pienaar reduced the deficit on 23 minutes to make it 10-3 to the erstwhile European champions.
Leinster by now were exhibiting superb line speed in defence, and proved extremely efficient and physical in the contact area. Sexton extended Leinster's lead on 33 minutes, when he converted a magnificent penalty from over the half way line.
But the breakdown contest was descending into a free for all, and Leinster conceded a penalty a minute later, allowing Pienaar to reduce the arrears to seven. The back row battle, as expected, was being ferociously contested, and the penalty count was accumulating for both teams. Sexton extended Leinster's lead even further on 39 minutes, when Ulster conceded yet another penalty at the breakdown.
The second half began with Ulster urgently trying to regain the momentum, and assert themselves. But Leinster continued to dominate the breakdown battle. Leinster's tangible superiority witnessed Sexton extend the advantage even further on 45 minutes, making it 19-6 to the southern province.
Simultaneously Ulster's cause was damaged further when Diack was dismissed to the sin-bin.
Leinster's lead was beginning to look unassailable at this stage. Ulster did respond on 47 minutes when a sublime break by Jackson carved open the Leinster defence, and the young fly-half was somewhat unfortunate not to create a try. Pienaar converted the ensuing penalty to make it 19-9.
The nominal hosts were beginning to claw back the lead, however, and reduced Leinster's advantage further on 51 minutes when Pienaar slotted another penalty following an infringement by Madigan. Although Leinster were undeniably the better side, Ulster were tenaciously re-establishing a foothold in the game.
And the penalty count was starting to negate the Blues' supremacy. Thus it was Pienaar who scored next, when he continued his flawless kicking effort to reduce the lead to four points.
But Leinster responded as champion teams do. The Irish kingpins marched ominously into the Ulster half, and launched a succession of drives.
From there, Leinster camped themselves in Ulster's 22, and the team from Belfast's rearguard struggled desperately to hold on. But they found themselves stretched and, with the referee playing advantage, Heaslip scored Leinster's second and decisive try.
Pienaar rekindled Ulster hopes on 69 minutes to make it 24-18.
But Leinster held on to seal victory, and cement their reputation as the greatest Irish province of the modern era.

How the European Legal System Works: Override, Non-Compliance, and Majoritarian Activism in International Regimes
Alec Stone Sweet
Yale University - Yale Law School
Thomas L. Brunell
University of Texas at Dallas - Department of Political Science
March 8, 2011
A striking feature of European integration and governance over the past fifty years has been the crucial role played by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The ECJ is a Trustee court, rather than a simple Agent of the Member States, with the power to determine the scope of its own authority. In a recent paper, Carrubba et al., having examined the ECJ rulings on some 3,176 legal questions rendered over an 11-year period, claim that the decision-making of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has been constrained - systematically - by the threat of override on the part of Member State Governments, acting collectively, and the threat of non-compliance on the part of any single State. They also purport to have found strong evidence in favor of Intergovernmentalist, but not Neofunctionalist, integration theory. We undertake original analysis of the same data. We conclusively demonstrate that the threat of override is not credible, and that the legal system is activated, rather than paralyzed, by noncompliance. We also explore what happened when MSG sought to override the Court - they failed - and organize a contest between the rival theories. In a head-to-head showdown, Neofunctionalism wins in a landslide. Finally, the analysis provides statistical support for the view that the ECJ engages in majoritarian activism. When Member States urge the Court to censor a defendant State for noncompliance, the ECJ tends to do so. The conclusion draws out implications of our findings for research on the two other international regimes that exhibit effective judicial review: the World Trade Organization and the European Convention on Human Rights.
A revised and shorter version of this paper has been accepted for publication in the American Political Science Review.

The Easton Stealth RS ll Hockey Sticks are headlining the new 2012 Stealth line. The second generation RS combines pinpoint accuracy with a more responsive blade for added velocity and lasting performance. The Elliptical Taper provides a low-kick point resulting in lightning fast and accurate releases.
The Easton RS stick features a woven Kevlar® wrapped Compression Molded shaft to offer power and a great feel. Easton used multiple thin layers of Kevlar®, resulting in an unbelievably responsive feel that maintains the lively feel throughout the lifespan of the stick. The Kevlar® wrap increases durability and an extremely solid feel with less vibrations. The Easton RS also features a pro inspired shaft dimension that a majority of the NHL players use, feeling slightly narrower with straight sidewalls and rounded corners.
The Easton RS features the Elliptical Taper profile providing a low-kick point. The Elliptical Taper has been fine tuned to offer a shot release that has more pop and a smoother more consistent feel. This increases the torsional strength and rigidity to the blade, resulting in lightning quick and accurate releases on wrist and snap shots, but will also rip those clappers.
The second generation RS features a stronger more consistent blade. The construction of the RS blade uses a micro-bladder process that produces a more consistent blade for improved puck feel. A higher bladder position provides more mass in the impact zone giving you more power. The lower core is split into 3 sections creating faster response time and reduces the blades fatigue. Multiple ribs run the length of the blade providing improved blade strength decreasing blade deflection increasing accuracy and power.

Comments: I like this stick, but not as much as the first RS. It does not seem to take passes and wrist shots as well as the original. I like the look of it better than the first, but the performance just leaves a lot to be desired.
From: Doug, TX
Comments: I had the RS before this stick and the sticks feel the same but the blade of the RS 2 is much more durable. The first one I got broke at the blade in a few days but I had warranty so I got my new one and it has lasted 4 months now with no problems with the blade.
From: Aaron
Comments: This is an amazing stick. I've only had it for 3 months so I can't comment on the durability yet but it definitely felt sturdier than the RS and APX especially the blade, also very very slightly heavier though I don't think it should be a problem. I would like to point out the pop on the RSII, personally I think it's significantly better than the APX. Stickhandling & quick shots play similar like the APX.

Restoring Integrity to the Wildlife Film Industry
"I see my role as the trouble maker," quips Chris Palmer, the Director of the Center of Environmental Filmmaking and author of Shooting in the Wild, a book exposing ethical transgressions of the wildlife film industry, including animal manipulation and abuse. "I have been inside the industry for 30 years; I know the secrets that the outside doesn't know."
Recently, Palmer has begun the process of turning his book into a film, which is hosted by renowned environmentalist Alexandra Cousteau, daughter of documentarian Philippe Cousteau and the granddaughter of French explorer and filmmaker Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The film's world premiere is set for Tuesday, March 19, 2013 on American University's main campus. It will also be made available to public television stations.
Shooting in the Wild is a testament to Palmer's strong belief that the exploitation of animals for the sole purpose of creating sensation and drawing in high ratings is unethical and needs to be stopped. Hosted by celebrated His upcoming movie will unveil the truth behind the wildlife film business, as well as display examples of current movies and television shows that cross the line between appropriate and abusive.
"What I have done is blow a whistle," Palmer says. "I have given away a trade secret, like giving away a magician's trick."
These tricks include staging a wildlife scene using captive animals from game farms, provoking animals in order to get a reaction, or interfering with the natural order of predator-gets-prey process in order to film a dramatic shot. Not only is this physically harmful to the animals, but it also deceives the audience.
Animals such as lions or sharks are often portrayed in these films as vicious creatures, snapping at the first sign of disturbance. But what the cameras often don't catch is how filmmakers manipulate the situation before the camera starts rolling in order for the animals to react, thus creating an unnatural and false portrayal of the animal in its natural habitat.
Palmer points to an example of this in Dave Salmoni's documentary about lions called Into the Pride. Salmoni aggravates the lions by getting off of his bike, which causes the lions to charge at him and for the cameras to capture a money-making scene. However, naturally lions would not act so aggressively, and Salmon's provocation and disturbance of their environment causes an inaccurate portrayal of the animals.
With such an outspoken and revealing look at the inside workings of the wildlife film industry, it is obvious that not everyone will take kindly to Palmer's movie.
"I am a reformer focusing on the moral issues of how films are made," he says, "so not everyone is happy."
One critic accused Palmer of "biting the hand that feeds him," but for Palmer the integrity of his profession meant more to him than continuing to do anything to get that "money shot."
"After 20 years in the business, I began to question what I was doing and the things I had done," Palmer says. "I was haunted by the things I had seen, and I knew that someone had to speak out."
Palmer advocates the importance of responsibly filming wildlife and focusing on conservation of the animals and their environment rather than accumulating money and ratings. He urges filmmakers to not abuse the animals or disrupt their natural habitat in order to get footage.
However, Palmer recognizes that changing the industry is not a one-day process.
"It is not easy to just stop. The trouble is that the whole system is set up to encourage it. There is such pressure for films to raise ratings and make a profit," he says.
But by promoting awareness and encouraging a new generation of filmmakers to consider the well-being of the animals, Palmer is taking the first step in keeping the wildlife film business focused on honest portrayals of animals in their natural habitat.

Great fall flats!
"I love love love these! They look great with everything, and they're comfy. I've been wearing them with print dresses all summer, and they're a huge hit. They run true to size- my only complaint is that the back gave me a blister, but I guess you just have to break them in."

"They run small. I usually wear 8/8.5 I saw the reviews that they run small and ordered an 8.5, but they are still small. Since they are real leather I will just wear them until they stretch out. They are absolutely adorable and go with everything!"

Cheap, Poor Quality

Yes yes, It's time we dedicate a thread about sharing Korean Manhwa titles.
Korean Manhwa is basically Manga made in Korea, but instead of reading it from right to left - up to down, you read it from left to right - up to down.
There are quite some good titles out there that need to get more attention of the public .
I shall list a few titles I've read so far and liked a lot.
Most korean manwha series have good ecchi btw :3.
The few titles I currently follow:
- UnbalanceX2 [AKA: Unbalance X Unbalance , UxU] Ecchi (Scanlated by KMTS)
- The Breaker Ecchi, Action (Scanlated by KMTS)
- Zippy Ziggy Comedy, Ecchi, GenderBender? (Scanlated by RyColaa)
- Ping Action (Scanlated by Dredshi & KMTS)
Now there are a few groups I know that scanlate Korean Manwha.
If you have more to share, please do so.

Already gone
Robin Brownlee
April 09 2009 03:02PM
Craig MacTavish is telegraphing the shot I expect he'll deliver not long after the Edmonton Oilers play out the string against the Calgary Flames Saturday, namely that he'll resign as coach.
If MacTavish's tone after the Oilers were eliminated from playoff contention Tuesday didn't spell it out loud and clear, and for me it did, then he's spoken even more loudly by saying next to nothing since then.
While MacTavish won't tender his resignation to owner Daryl Katz, president of hockey ops Kevin Lowe and GM Steve Tambellini until after the 82nd game is in the books, he's already begun to detach himself, to step back. MacT has one foot, at least emotionally, out the door.
With assistants Charlie Huddy, Bill Moores and Kelly Buchberger running practice again today, there was a message written on the white board in the dressing room regarding Friday morning, which would be the usual game-day skate, in preparation for tomorrow's tilt with the Flames.
It read: "See staff for game-day line-up. No a.m. skate."
No a.m. skate and more-than-likely, no access with the coach. Really, could MacTavish possibly say more without saying anything, especially framed by Katz's "MacT is not going anywhere" text message?
Time's up
I wrote here at ON Tuesday I was convinced MacTavish had already made the decision to step down. The only question was when he would decide to deliver the message to his bosses. Columnist Dan Barnes wrote he'd been told the same thing in The Journal today.
Of course, that's something a lot of people often late to the angle are suggesting now as well -- a year or so after former TEAM 1260 talk show host and current 630 CHED analyst Bob Stauffer said that's exactly how things would play out if the Oilers missed playoffs a third straight year. If it wasn't clear when Bombastic Bob first said so, it is now -- seems he's got a pretty good source on these things.
Be that as it may, MacTavish will walk away because he feels he's taken this team as far as he can, which isn't far enough based on the roster, talent and potential he saw in pre-season.
MacTavish will pass up about $1 million in salary by doing so, but money isn't an issue for him after nine seasons behind the bench as a coach and 17 NHL campaigns as a player.
MacTavish can step away, be it within the organization or with ties severed, take some time to recharge and jump right back into the fray in a year or so. If and when he wants another coaching job, he'll get one.
A look ahead
When a season goes as badly as this one has, there's always unrest and a fire or two to put out in the dressing room. That's certainly the case with this edition of the Oilers.
By stepping away instead of hanging on and forcing Lowe or Tambellini into the unpleasant task of firing him, MacTavish is helping set the table to mend some fences within the dressing room.
Call it positive spin, but bringing in a new coach with a fresh outlook and a new game plan is a selling point for Lowe and Tambellini.
I'm guessing players like Ladislav Smid, who requested a trade more than once this season, Robert Nilsson and Dustin Penner, who ended up yanked off the first line, off the power play and in MacTavish's doghouse, to name just three players, could use a sales pitch between now and training camp.
So could Sheldon Souray, who, as mentioned by Barnes today, hasn't been thrilled with how this season came off the rails.
Who might the Oilers new bench boss be? Well, that's an item for another day, and something best discussed after MacTavish makes his departure official. Rest assured, that day is coming.
He's already gone.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6pm on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on TEAM 1260.
Sounds like MacT's season may NOT be over. Sources indicate he's on the shortlist to be named Canada's coach at the yearly World Championship (otherwise known as the Oilers playoffs).
One step closer to being named an assistant for the Olympic team? Maybe.
April 10 2009, 05:00PM
Does anyone really care that Mac T is going? His buddy K lowe does not have the balls to fire him so he has to resign.Mac T is not our only problem he is one of many problems with this organization if major moves are not made this summer Oiler fans this will be a regular occurance come April a new coach will not solve all of our problems hopefully the billionare will give some advice other than blame the fans for the atmosphere at Rexall.Peter Puck at one time was the toast of the town and look where he ended up. Katz better take a long look in the mirror because he could end up going Puck one day.

@ Sandra: Really? How do you look when you couldn't care less? Asd who do they act? Are you talking about in post-game interviews? If I labelled every player who gave a bland answer or applied positive spin — if that's what you're interpreting as not caring — instead of telling the truth after a bad gamne or a loss, as somebody who doesn't give a squirt, I'd have three guys on every team to talk to.
Thier actions on the ice. Body language, during games also, like when Hemmer doesn't get a point in the first five minutes of the game, 80% of the time after that he floats and looks disinterested
