About the time that longtime mortician Travis Browne, 39, of Parker, decided to leave the corporate world and start his own little independent funeral home that would never turn people away regardless of financial circumstances, a co-worker and now partner, Dwight Bennett, 60, saw a "for rent" sign in the window of the little circa-1901 Castle Rock house that housed a barber shop.
They saw it as serendipity and grabbed the 800-square-foot space located at 211 Fourth St. in 2011. Before they were even ready for business, still unpacking, they were busy, and getting some "best funeral home" honors from customer-survey polls, they said. And things were proceeding normally. And still are, pretty much. But some interesting things have happened recently.
"I really don't know what it is," Browne said. "It's fascinating."
Things have appeared on their walls.
In March, the growing funeral home, Castle Rock Funeral and Cremation Services, needed more room. Their landlords, who also owned the two-story building just east of them, let them lease room on the first floor and build a breezeway to connect the two buildings.
They didn't know initially that their new space was the town's first funeral home, established there in 1899 by undertaker J.B. Hackett. It's been many things since.
The new space needed a paint job and their landlords, Richard and Sandra Bracken, recommended their longtime contractor to do it. He did the painting, left for the night, and it was the next morning when things got interesting.
That's when a child's handprints were discovered. Bennett said they were moving things in and out of a small supply closet, and on the inside of the door he saw distinct left and right handprints. They immediately considered it to be very strange, particularly since there aren't any children around and hadn't been. And then things got more interesting when he went into the next room to move a bucket that had been left by the contractor and saw a handprint, the same size as the others, on the wall.
"It freaked him out," Brackens said about the reaction of their contractor, Dave Seeley, 48.
Seeley said he had actually seen the handprints in the supply closet and didn't think anything of it until Bennett showed him the similar handprint on the freshly painted wall. "Now I have chills going up my spine," he said, about his reaction to seeing it. He said he knew that print hadn't been there before.
It turns out these weren't the first time someone had discovered a child's handprint.
Joe Sedberry, a dental technician, makes dentures and the like in his one-person lab on the building's second floor. He said in a recent interview that the materials he uses create a lot of dust, and about a year ago one morning he came into work and there was a very distinct child's handprint on his desk. He and a florist, who also has space in the building, found it very strange, as there would have been no opportunity for a child to be in that room. He left the handprint there for a long time until it deteriorated to the point that he finally cleaned it off.
Browne and Bennett haven't said if their handprints are going to stay or go. Maybe they don't know, can't know — or don't want to know.

Well - we had a bit of a snow down pour last week. So madly trying to protect all of the new emerging plants. Today it is sunny but still pretty cold - and awaiting another round of winter/spring wind storms this evening. Can't wait until these crazy storms pass. All of the plants that I have purchased are hanging out in the garage awaiting to put their feet into the warm soil. Hope all is well - your friend Deb.
I am doing fine......
I missed our lively discussions. How's everything with you?
MIchael ... me no kids to worry about just a quiet easter with my mom... enjoy the time that you will have enjoy and may it be blessed

Barack Obama's re-election as United States President means quantitative easing will remain in vogue in the US. While some perceive that quantitative easing weakens the greenback, we believe the reasons behind it, stuttering growth in the US and relatively rosy New Zealand growth prospects, will keep the Kiwi dollar high.
What is quantitative easing?
Usually when central banks want to stimulate economies, they lower the interest rates at which they provide cash to the banking system. This promotes lending to households and businesses that then increase spending, generating economic activity. Since the Global Financial Crisis, some central banks have reduced interest rates to zero to try to jumpstart their economies. Alas, even this has not worked! Some have turned to unconventional monetary policy, such as quantitative easing (QE). Central banks buy financial assets they do not normally buy, including long-term government bonds, company bonds, shares or even commercial loans. The intent is to lower long-term interest rates, stimulating bank lending and boosting the economy.
During Obama's first term, the US Federal Reserve carried out three rounds of QE. His re-election gives the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, the green-light to continue. In contrast, the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, was a vocal critic of QE and a win for Romney would have seen greater scrutiny of QE.
QE has not caused inflation to date ...
Some commentary claims QE does more harm than good, driving down exchange rates, creating undesirable inflows of capital into other countries and generating inflation.
This is currently driving investors toward assets viewed as inflation-proof - gold, shares, property - or to currencies where central banks still have conventional monetary policy tools to fight inflation - namely, the Aussie or Kiwi dollar.
This perception might be true in normal circumstances. Inflation can arise from rapid growth in the money supply and commercial banks' reserves have expanded significantly with QE. But these are not normal times - precisely why the US has been forced into QE.
... nor undermined the US dollar
The additional reserves have helped the commercial banks stabilise their balance sheets, but, crucially, much of the money has not been on-loaned to businesses or households.
Accordingly to date, QE has done little to spur economic growth, or inflation. Nor has it driven exchange rates, with the US dollar at similar levels to four years ago.
The Federal Reserve hopes the latest round of QE will be different. The September round focussed more on promoting bank lending, including purchases of mortgage-backed securities - home loans. While this move is helpful, we view it as a necessary, but by itself insufficient, step to returning the US economy to sustained growth. The main stumbling blocks to US growth are households needing to further reduce debt and the government needing to narrow its deficit, without derailing the economy.
But the NZD is set to stay high
With New Zealand's growth prospects relatively rosy, we expect the kiwi dollar to hold above the 80 cent mark in 2013. Our November forecasts show the New Zealand economy growing by 2.5 per cent and 3.2 per cent in 2012 and 2013, compared to 2.1 per cent and 1.7 per cent in the US.

Sally Grainger, chef and author
In my previous post about Roman cooking I described a type of oven used to bake and roast food about 2,000 years ago. Known as a clibanus it was a sophisticated piece of cooking technology most likely used by the wealthy, and one with which I have spent many years experimenting.
These ovens were made with very course gritted clay and ranged in size from 15-50 cm in diameter, with walls of up to 10 cm high. A central hole seems to have been for regulating the temperature and could also allow cooks to keep an eye on the food baking inside. A flange allowed the fire to be placed on the top of the oven.
The sites in Italy where these ovens have been identified tend to be rather elite villa complexes where one could imagine the baking of delicate cakes and also warm bread for dinner. It is not necessarily apparent that these ovens were used by the less well off as a means of cooking simpler fair, and it is often assumed that they took their bread to be baked at large bakery complexes in towns, while we do not know what the rural poor did about baking at home. There was an assumption that they didn't eat bread but made puls wheat porridge in a cooking pot over a wood fire.
The poem attributed to Virgil called moretum suggests that a relatively lowly market gardener baked his bread sub testu: under one of these ovens, though the status of this man is quite difficult to determine. He is considered a peasant, but he sells his produce in town and comes home with a heavy purse on occasion. Identifying these ovens is also not easy as they often come to pieces after prolonged use and recognising the shards (broken pieces) as testa (ovens) is problematic.
There is quite a detailed description of this oven in use in an agricultural manual written by Cato the Elder, in 150 BC. The recipe is for a special sacrificial cake called rather unfortunately placenta: the reason for which is another story altogether. It is a complex layered construction with sweet pasta sheets and cheese and honey bound in an outer pastry shell which might best be described as a round cheese strudel. While being constructed, the cook is advised to 'heat the hearth and the testum where you are to cook'. Then 'make the hearth ready beforehand and place the placenta on it, cover with a heated testum and place hot coals on top and around it' (i).
From original drawings and reconstructed ovens the instructions on how to use it seemed quite logical, although my initial experiments were rather haphazard. I used a wood fire at first and rapidly broke the first oven I owned – we find evidence of metal versions of these ovens in Greece which could be used with a wood fire but ceramic, even very coarse material as these were, could not tolerate an open flame for long. Subsequently I used charcoal with much greater success.
Now I bake so often it has become second nature. The oven needs to be raised above the fire in order to be heated, so a trivet is used. Leaving the vessel directly on the fire caused rapid heat differential which caused cracking and sometimes put the fire that was inside the dome out.
I left the oven to heat over a charcoal fire and found that the hole acted as a chimney to draw the fire quite well. After a time it seemed better to close the hole and keep the heat in. The hearth I used was a raised platform and its position was crucial as a strong draft also helped the fire to heat. After about an hour or sometimes longer when the heat from the surface caused our spit to sizzle – a past visit to a wood-fired bakery had already told me that when the roof of these ovens is white hot that is when the baker knows it is ready to use.
At this point the hearth needs to be prepared which meant cleaning away the fire so that the cake or bread could go directly onto a tile or ceramic hearth. The fire was brushed aside to make space as big as the oven, and my freshly proved loaf or a Roman cake called a libum was placed on this hot surface with a bay leaf beneath for flavour.
The oven is put back over the cake and then the fire is piled around the sides and on top. A good bake requires good quality 'restaurant charcoal' (heavier and therefore long lasting) to retain plenty of latent energy. It is then possible to place fresh charcoal close to the already alight coals so that a continuous fire can be maintained. The remaining embers and smaller pieces of charcoal are pushed around the sides of the oven evenly spaced so that no area is left unheated. Doing this I was able to reach 410F (210C) on a regular basis when baking bread, so could then bake and roast very efficiently.
I can only indicate the quality of the bake by offering the following:
The crust on my sour dough was beautifully thick and crisp even when cooled; meat on the legs of a small chicken roasted for 45 minutes in a dish rather than directly on the hearth, fell to pieces; a lamb shank cooked for one and a quarter hours was similarly tender, and belly pork fell apart and had super crackling after the same amount of time.
Over the years I have come to the conclusion that the relatively small space inside the oven is such that any potential moisture both from bread and also meat is retained around the food being cooked so that a steam/roast/bake process is going on. Bakers know of course that you need steam to create a good crust and now it has become common to find modern catering ovens with added steam.
All manner of complicated techniques are used to achieve the desired moist atmosphere yet 2,000 years ago the Romans had invented the technique already.

Tom Gilbert Inside Out
November 27 2010 03:13AM
Playing defense in the NHL during the post-lockout era is one of the toughest jobs in sports. Gone are the days of clutch and grab, subtle stickwork is now rewarded with a whistle and 2 minutes in the box and the old standby (holding the stick) is now called "holding the stick" and comes with 2 more minutes in the sinbin. An entire player type (the plodding defender with size and a terrific wingspan) was nailed to the Cory Cross when management discovered faster wheels were required in the "new NHL." What happens when a "wheels" defenseman falls on hard times?
The first thing we need to do is identify what "hard times" look like. When we say "my eyes tell me" history often shows that our eyes are wrong. So, let's have a look at Tom Gilbert over the last several seasons and see what his plus minus numbers were doing:
- 07-08: Gilbert -6 on a -14 team
- 08-09: Gilbert +6 on a +7 team
- 09-10: Gilbert -10 on a -56 team
- 10-11: Gilbert -7 on a -17 team (so far)
If we can agree that a fair measure of an "NHL pairing" is one third of a team's overall plus minus for a season (three pairings, divide the overall number by three) we get this:
- 07-08: -6 when -5 would be average
- 08-09: +6 when +2 would be average
- 09-10: -10 when -19 would be average
- 10-11: -7 when -6 would be average (so far)
So, a brief summary of his career might go like this: impressive as a rookie (just past average, that's terrific for a rookie); well above average in seasons two and three and then (so far) about average in year four. Fair?
I know relCorsi is a dirty word around these parts, so won't get too far into it. I will say that Gilbert is in the black relCorsi this season and has been every season of his NHL career:
- 07-08: +1.5
- 08-09: +2.6
- 09-10: +8.1
- 10-11: +2.0
I absolutely know Tom Gilbert has been the goat on many plays this season, and that he spent much of last year looking exposed. History teaches us that NHL defensemen lose previous performance levels for (mainly) two reasons: injury and changes in how they are used. I have no evidence of injury in the case of Gilbert (although he blocks a lot of shots so we know he's banged up a little bit at least by this time in the season), so we fall back on how he's being used. Let's list Gilbert's playing time (and when he's used) by season:
Man, that is consistent. Seriously. Tom Gilbert plays every game and plays a lot every game. I bet there aren't many NHL defensemen who have delivered that kind of consistency over the last 4 seasons. With that kind of consistent playing time, has he been consistent offensively?
- 07-08: 0.98 5x5/60; 3.01 5x4/60
- 08-09: 1.30 5x5/60; 3.91 5x4/60
- 09-10: 0.92 5x5/60; 2.24 5x4/60
- 10-11: 1.22 5x5/60; 0.00 5x4/60
Pretty consistent at even strength and his PP numbers were good until this season. We should probably assume Gilbert will return to the median in this era and that the putts will drop as the season rolls along (all 10-11 stats will be more reliable as the GP rises). So consistent according to our friend math. Hmmm.
May I suggest something? I think maybe some of us (certainly me) are viewing the game through those pre-lockout eyes and all those mistakes are adding up quickly in our collective brains. Tom Gilbert has been exposed this season (and much of last) but that's part of the new NHL. If the opposition is going to fly 40 sorties into your airspace every night (and you can't use the weapons that were previously available) then a lot more bombs are going to drop. And if the goalie is less than league average then some or a lot is going to get on you. It has been this way since Henry Shrapnel was a kid.
I believe that's partly what we're seeing here, along with Gilbert being in a bad stretch in terms of decision making. He's an NHL veteran now, those tentative decisions will soon be replaced by those butter outlet passes. Gilbert should recover, his resume suggests he's quality and there are no injuries we know about with this player.
You should check out DSF's own blog, fine work... fine work indeed.
I will have to take your word for it...I would look it up, but I, err...broke my Googler...yeah, that's the ticket.
November 28 2010, 08:43AM
Wish I believed in Tom as much as you do. Al ii want from Gilbert is to play to his contract $ level. That's it. I think that's what anyone should expect. Any less, and you're overpaid. Tommy has been in that catagory for awhile now. To long of awhile. It's like he can't think the game anymore. Good luck to him. I hope he comes out of it.
November 28 2010, 09:07AM
Great article LT, good to see both sides of the argument,.
IMO, where Gilbert has fallen apart was last year during those many games when the Oilers couldn't get the puck out of their own zone, which caused shellshock.
Now, he's lacking the confidence to make the right quick decision, because in the back of his mind, that kind of "trapped in the zone" thing could happen at any time. I also think that Gilbert doesnt really have a comfort zone on defense, and is most relaxed when moving the puck the other way.
It seems other players have bought in to the coaching staff and their system and aren't making the same defensive zone mistakes as last year, but Gilbert has this mental block to get over.
He's played better the last two games, despite yesterday's giveaway, so hopefully he's turning the corner a bit.
I hope he does, since he really could be a difference maker with the puck, especially if the team decides to invest more in the defense in rebuild year 2.
November 29 2010, 10:26AM
Not going to lie, I believe I just lost all respect for you and your writing. Tom Gilbert has been a horrendous defenceman for a long time now. Obviously that contract is what keeps him around and not being shipped. He has made glaring/exposed defensive miscues that any junior player can make, and the worst part is, he does it on a consistent basis. Second assists tell one story, the eyes say another.
He's not a young defenceman learning the reigns, he's considered a vet now and what should be the prime of his career while making prime time dollars. If you're using numbers as a crutch, you might as well just watch boxscores and grade if from there.

Super Cute Shoe!
"This shoe is even cuter in reality than in pictures. It will look great dressed down with jeans or dressed up with a skirt or dress. The heels are a little tight when first out of the box and the bottom is very slick, but both of these can be easily overcome."

I ordered the 9W and they fit like a dream on my somewhere between M and W feet. The unusual platform is very easy to walk in. These are perfect 'office' shoes, great with suits or more daily business wear."

"These shoes are super cute and can be dress up or dress down your outfit. AWESOME with jeans OR a skirt/dress/dress pants. I love the thicker sole because it means I'm not balancing on a thin sole which, after time, causes pain in the ball of my foot. Very sturdy shoe and a price that fits anyone's budget."

Forgetting for a moment that Suleman once said she'd do everything in her power to feed her kids except porn, before changing her tune and saying she'd reluctantly do it for the right price, it's still a predictably grim affair. We see Suleman topless and legs akimbo in front of a clothes line featuring wee baby things —sexy, no? — in addition to the usual bubble baths, ironing in negligees and other arousing situations. To top it all off, these are only the stills. There is still the dark promise of seeing the exploited mom of 12 pleasure herself on video for the money she needs to feed and clothe her kids. Go humanity! [TMZ] Those of you who couldn't give two fucks about Pinterest might want to get on it with news that Michelle Obama has signed up and is pinning in earnest. Listing three separate boards on her page — "Around the White House," "Great Memories," and "Father's Day" – she follows only Barack and Ellen DeGeneres at this stage. [Pinterest] The staff over at NME must have had one hell of a work function the night before signing off pages, that or some jokester on the photo desk thought they'd see what they could squeeze through the net, because when running a review of Fiona Apple's "The Idler Wheel" (etc.) the mag matched it with a picture of Alanis Morrissette. As Eliot Glazer at Vulture says, "To be fair, they both have hair." The man makes a solid point. [Vulture] It turns out that George W. Bush is a reluctant TV star, appearing in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in the first season of Game Of Thrones. Was he a busty maiden or a blood-thirsty soldier? Nope, the former president appeared as a head on a stake – the costume department using a Bush mask — during the season finale. "People may not have noticed this but... the last head on the left is George Bush. George Bush's head appears in a couple of beheading scenes," said the show's creators. "It's not a choice. It's not a political statement… We had to use what heads we had lying around." [io9, E!] Rihanna wants everyone struggling to get to a size zero to take a step back and reconsider, saying it's not all it's cracked up to be. Whittling herself down thanks to a combination of work and dieting, the singer regrets it and plans to rectify it soon. "I'm a size 0 — and not happy about it!" she says. "I went way too far. I prefer myself a bit chunkier. I want my old butt back!" [Us]When he's not reacquainting himself with Rihanna and giving us all migraines, Chris Brown is spending time with his sometime girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. [Page Six]Jerry Lewis collapsed at a hotel, but it turns out it was only due to low blood sugar and not something more ominous. [Page Six]Career car smashist Amanda Bynes says she can prove she wasn't drinking on the night when she crashed into a cop car in West Hollywood. Telling friends possibly while driving through a preschool playground or the front garden of an old folk's home. [Page Six]She's a bit bruised and battered but Lindsay Lohan has returned to work following her very own car accident. [Page Six]Did you see Matthew McConaughey's wedding photo, in which he is pointing at his beautiful wife Camila Alves with a J'ACCUSE finger? [People]Three ladies have been let go from Basketball Wives. [TMZ]Meghan McCain thinks we should legalize marijuana after some of those crazy west coast types got her onto it. [People]Julianne Hough didn't need much help from experts to prepare for her role as a waitress-turned-stripper in Rock Of Ages because she totally has that shit down. "I'm actually pretty good at stripping," she said. [People]It's a case of he filed, she filed, with Courteney Cox putting her two legal cents in and making her divorce from David Arquette legit. [E!]Hilary Duff's baby Luca is clearly not a fan of motherly kisses. [E!]Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux headed to lunch in Paris dressed as if they were undergoing an employee evaluation. [E!]Considering all of the sad and distressing face eating of late, Mila Kunis saying her stalker looked like he "could eat" her takes on a whole new meaning. [E!]Oh no! Liam Hemsworth fears Miley Cyrus is fading away, says an unconfirmed and completely bullshit source. Quick, he'd better get Brad Pitt on the princess phone for advice. [NYDN]Bethenny Frankel had Ellen as a guest on her new talk show. The set of which looks suspiciously like a poor man's version of Ellen's set. [OMG]I take it all back! Frankel also had Coco as a guest and used her butt as a shelf – all is forgiven. [Radar]In case you missed it: The naked Kim Kardashian picture posted on Kanye West's Twitter page is not actually Kim Kardashian. [TMZ]"Divorce is difficult because of the admin!" says Russell Brand. [Daily Mail]Melissa McCarthy is working a hot new look. Pity it's for a movie role. [Daily Mail]Reply251 repliesLeave a reply

Directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet of Partizan Films, the commercial's four-day shoot was at Paramount and Universal Studios. "We shot two versions, one for the American market, featuring Rik Cordero, an indie filmmaker, and another for the Chinese market, featuring the Chinese music star Jay Chou, and they have a lot of visual effects and green screen work," Zilles reports. "The concept was that the taste of Sprite comes to the rescue when they're having frustrating creative meetings about ideas for a film, and the camera goes into their imaginations. Suddenly you see all this stuff like ninjas, a cheerleader and a flying panda, and all these elements come flying in and crash down and land in the heads of our two leads, and there's this big explosion of Sprite water."
Zilles shot day exteriors as well as a lot of the green screen work on film using an ARRICAM and ARRI 435. The DP also used a Vision Research Phantom to gather elements, such as water explosions, steam and smoke, and to capture high-speed plates for the effects work used to create the "Sprite flavor explosion" done by The Moving Picture Company.
The commercial had three main lighting schemes overall. "For our day exteriors at Paramount, we used Maxi-Brutes on Condors gelled with half-blue to give us a nice warm, sunshine feel," says Zilles. For all the green screen lighting, the team had a huge 50-by-200-foot green screen on Stage 28 at Universal, lit with far cyc and space lights. "We also used Maxi-Brutes on a big scissor lift that would travel around behind the green screen so we could place our sun at the optimal angle for each instance [and] so each plate shot would match the plates shot from a helicopter," Zilles explains. Additionally, the DP and his crew used ARRI T12s for ambient bounce for scenes shot in front of the green screen. "Our third lighting setup was our Phantom setup for all our element plate shots for the visual effects," Zilles notes. "We used a couple of big 20K tungsten lights for backlighting all the water and smoke elements, because at 1,000 fps the Phantom needs a lot of light, and we found that HMIs can flicker at these extremely high frame rates."
The production's gaffer was Bill Silic, who Zilles says is one of the best in the business, and all the lighting for the shoot came from Sun Lighting. "This was as big as a commercial can be these days, and it was like a puzzle with a lot of different pieces," adds Zilles. "It's always fun to mix live action and visual effects, and our director had a great vision and was a delight to work with. And Partizan gave us plenty of manpower and resources to do the job well, which is something you don't always see anymore."

The much anticipated collaboration between Hussein Chalayan, master of 'the art' of fashion design, and J Brand is currently available at Barney's New York. Most would expect something extraordinary from Chalayan, knowing his chimerical aesthetics, but the outcome of his capsule collection for J Brand is a carefully controlled take on three trends that dominate the market place; the boyfriend jean – lovingly named the Beau jean ($247), the skinny jean – appropriately named the Legging jean ($249), and the harem style jean named the Circuit ($257), because, I am guessing, you need to be styling to work it in the fashion circuit and harem style pants continue to be hot amongst the edgy fashionistas!
It is no surprise that at the private dinner party to launch the collaboration at Hotel Griffou, hosted by Chalayan and J Brand, the who's who of both the fashion and art worlds came together along with future designer to be, Kanye West, and his muse/girlfriend Amber Rose. The line-up of guests included Vogue Editor – Sally Singer, Vogue Associate Publisher – Lottie Oakley (looking gorgeous as ever from my days at Vogue), John Currin, Rachel Feinstein, Hope Atherton and Chanel Iman, to name a few.

Forest Service opens parking areas in Huntington Canyon
The Manti-La Sal National Forest is opening two additional areas in Huntington Canyon for day-use parking. Nuck Woodward Trailhead and the mouth of Engineer Canyon will be opened to give people access to open trails in the burned area. The parking areas at Stuart Guard Station and McElprang Canyon will remain open.
Day-use means one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset.
The agency warns that parking outside the signed, designated areas is illegal and could be dangerous. "Visitors to the burned area must obey all signs and closures, should stay out of drainage bottoms and locate camps away from burned trees and potential flood areas," warned Darren Olsen, Ferron-Price District Ranger.
Most trails in the burned area are open. However, certain trails have been severely damaged, present a danger to the public, and remain closed. They are:
Bob Wright (FS Trail 378), Huntington Pipeline (FS Trail 958) Old Folks Flat to Stuart Guard Station (FS Trail 395) Pole Canyon (FS Trail 073) Second Water Canyon (FS Trail 407) The last 0.25 mile of Castle Valley Ridge (FS Trail 068), east of Nuck Woodward Road. The Left Fork of Huntington National Recreation Trail (FS Trail 130) and the Corner Canyon Trail (FS Trail 400) will be open to foot travel only.
In the interest of public safety, all overnight camping in Huntington Canyon along Utah Highway 31 in the burn area will remain closed.
People venturing into the burned area should check weather forecasts, assess the current weather on the forest and let someone know where they are going. The burned area is subject to flash flooding and debris flows, unstable and falling dead trees, loose rocks and logs, and burned out stump holes.
All motorized travel is restricted to official routes as shown on the 2013 Motor Vehicle Use Map for the Ferron-Price and Sanpete Districts. The maps are free and can be obtained at Forest Service offices in Ferron, Price and Ephraim. They can be viewed online at http://1.usa.gov/14EsD8N.
A new visitor use map for the Ferron-Price and Sanpete District has been released and can be purchased at Forest Service offices.
The Manti-La Sal National Forest manages watersheds for people living in eight southeastern Utah counties and two western Colorado counties; it cares for 1.4 million acres of wildlife habitat, fisheries in 1,600 miles of perennial streams and 8,100 acres of lakes and reservoirs; it maintains 2,940 miles of road, 430 miles of trails, provides 550 developed campsites and is the source of 85 percent of the coal mined in Utah.

|In response to Re: Flushing. Good idea or waste of water?
: My new home is 10yrs. old and I have always had a habit of flushing the toilets when I enter any one of the 3 bathrooms that we have. I flush them regardless if I use them or not. Sometimes I will flush all three of them in sequence a couple of times.
: My theory is that I am flushing my DWV system to keep everything moving along just fine. I justify my actions by thinking it's better to spend a few dollars on the water rather than an expensive drain cleaning.
: This peculiar habit is a result of formerly living in a 70yr. old home where I spent many hours and many feet of electric eel cleaning the sewage pipe out.
: I have also even gone as far as to run the washing machine through a cycle (without clothes) just to get a great volume of water down the sewage pipe.
: Am I wasting water or actually doing something good for the pipes?
I go along with Gary, your wasting a lot of water. It is not necessary.. Hube

Virgin Blue goes Troppo for NOrth Queensland23/11/2007
Brisbane, Australia: Virgin Blue is continuing its love affair with its home state of Queensland with the announcement of more flights for two of its key North Queensland destinations. From February next year, Virgin Blue will boost the number of flights from Sydney to both Mackay and Rockhampton in response to strong demand.
Virgin Blue is taking delivery of 20 new EMBRAER E-Jets over the next 18 months which is allowing the airline to focus on increasing flights to destinations that have supported Virgin Blue's existing services.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey said, "Both Mackay and Rockhampton are terrific destinations and we have been heartened by the long standing support for our existing flights to both Brisbane and Sydney. It's this steadfast support that has given us the confidence to commit to these increases."
He continued, "It's clear that the people of regional North Queensland appreciate affordable, high quality jet aircraft services and we want to return that support by offering more flight options and more convenience."
Virgin Blue currently operates 4 flights a week between Mackay and Sydney. From 4 February 2008, the airline will operate 7 flights a week, providing a non-stop jet aircraft flight to Sydney every day of the week for the convenience of both business and leisure travellers.
Six days a week (including Sunday) the new flight schedule is DJ 451 Sydney-Mackay departing at 10.45am and arriving in to Mackay at 12.05pm and then departing as flight DJ 452 at 12.45pm for an arrival in to Sydney at 4pm.
On Saturdays, the flight will operate from Sydney at 9.45am, arriving in to Mackay at 11.05am and depart Mackay at 11.35am, landing in Sydney at 2.50pm
Virgin Blue will go from 3 flights a week to a daily return flight between Rockhampton and Sydney from 4 February 2008.
The additional daily flights will operate as DJ 461 departing Sydney at 8.05am and arrive in Rockhampton at 9.00am with DJ 462 departing Rockhampton at 9.30am and touching down in Sydney at 12.20pm.
Virgin Blue will use the EMBRAER aircraft as well as the BOEING 737 to operate the Sydney flights to both destinations subject to seasonal requirements and demand.
Note – departure and arrival times in Queensland are in AEST and departure and arrival times from New South Wales are in AEDST.

Fabulous! I Try EverythingI am in my 60's and try to keep myself looking as good as I can for my age.I have thin hair and used to have very thick hair. Hate to wash my hair daily as I am a traveling social worker and have lots to do. Spending lots of time on my hair is not what I want to do and still want to look good. Lots of products work well although many make my hair oily after 1 day. This along with the shampoo and just a touch of the conditioner (I have short hair) really does the trick. I can go for 3 days and my hair will look great. The root lifter is great also as it gives my hair bounce. Nice products and believe me I have tried many!!!!

By WILLIAM SHARPCastle Dale
President Bush, the leaders of a billion plus Catholics, a host of evangelical leaders, and numerous senators and representatives are calling experimentation that kills living human embryos, murder and the same as abortion. However, Utah's senators Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett, with the overwhelming support of Utahns, vow to continue to lead the fight to dissect living embryos, take their parts and do it with our tax dollars attempting to make us all accomplices in their little shop of horrors.
Like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. they tempt us promising that killing these innocents is for the good of society. However, embryonic stem cell research has been carried out for several years now and not even one cure has been discovered while during the same time harmless research using adult stem cells and stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood have provided numerous cures and the likely promise of more advanced cures than killing living embryos does.
So why Utah's Godless determination to press forward with the shedding of innocent human blood? Could it be that Utah's leaders have seen through the obvious fraud of Joseph Smith, given up on religion and the hope of eternal life (except for the outward appearance), and are determined to seek longer life elsewhere? This would answer a lot of questions about the LDS church now allowing abortions saying they are not murder and taking a "proceed carefully" approach to the killing of embryos.
The Book of Revelation in the Bible sums up the reasons why God destroys large numbers of the wicked in the last days saying; "and neither repented they of their murders". One might wonder how so many could get conned into subtly accepting murder and refusing to repent. The selfishness, pride and power that have blinded Orrin and his followers proves it can be done. Many of the rest of us still see the value of each human life and know God hears their cries�.

It's not surprising that Pro Team Astana riders put their faith in Corima's wheels in order to claim victory at this year's Giro. After all, the French manufacturer's wheels have consistently provided the exact precision and attention to detail that you'd expect from a brand that started out in the aeronautics sector. The new Viva 'S' Clincher Wheels are placed at the top of its clincher pack, perfectly illustrating that seemingly elusive 'do-anything' carbon clincher that we're always searching for. And thankfully, the hunt might now just be over, as these 32mm wheels are light enough to be used on the steepest of climbs, spin up fast on the flats, and remain exceptionally stable in crosswinds.
With a background in producing mechanical molds in the fields of automotive and aeronautics, French manufacturer Corima branched into the cycling arena by launching its first disc wheel in 1988. Its wheels quickly caught on with track cyclists and road racers around the world, as the manufacturing precision and composite expertise was noticeably superior to anything that its competitors were making at the time. The tradition of pushing carbon boundaries hasn't let up for Corima, as its years of composite know-how and constant innovations continue to set records and propel cyclists to victory in the most renowned races on the planet. An integral part of this success is derived from each of Corima's wheel components being built in-house. For the new Viva 'S' Clincher Wheels, this is no exception. The hubs and rims used to build this lightweight clincher were manufactured under the same roof in its Southern France facility.
For the construction of the 32mm Viva rim, Corima used pre-impregnated sheets of 3K (3000 filaments per square weave) carbon fiber for the wheel. These sheets were then formed into its torsion box 'Concept 2D' shape, which results in a subtle 'U-shaped' profile with a moderate 22.6mm width. Corima also uses its HPS technology with its carbon clincher rims, meaning that they are made of 100% carbon, without incorporating any metallic parts. The reasoning behind this is to keep the weight as low as possible by not adding any unnecessary metal into the rim composition. And, besides lending itself to Corima's signature refined gloss and apparent carbon weave finish, this layup design also provides heightened levels of aerodynamics, stiffness, and ride quality compared to more traditional 'V-shaped' wheel profiles. It's a shape that Corima refined through extensive CAD designs and wind tunnel testing before the final design was selected. Throughout these revisions, Corima ultimately discovered that by applying this specific width-to-height ratio, aerodynamics were able to be improved without sacrificing any strength.
One of the biggest contributors to the Viva 'S' wheels' compliant ride quality and light weight (around 1440g for the set), is the spoke lacing pattern. Corima built the wheels with 18 spokes at the front and 20 at the rear. The lacing pattern was strategically arranged in a way that provides uniform tension throughout. At the rear wheel, the 12 drive-side spokes were cross-laced in order to deliver the most efficient transmission of power directly to the rear wheel. Additionally, the arrangement of these bladed Sapim CX -Ray spokes provides an incredible level of stiffness and durability to the wheelset.
The Viva 'S' wheels rely on chrome-plated aluminum hubs. The latest 'S' version of its aluminum hubs were built with both titanium and aluminum in order to create a stable, lightweight platform. On the rear wheel, three tempered steel transmission pawls were spaced at 120 degree intervals within a 30-tooth ratchet ring. This ensures a fast and smooth engagement the moment that you apply pressure to the pedals.
The Corima Viva 'S' Wheels are supplied with brake pads, quick-release skewers, and a wheel bag. They are available the color Black, in a 700c size, and with either a Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo compatible freehub body. Please note that these wheels are sold individually, and that the Shimano/SRAM freehub body is available in both 9-/10-speed and 10-/11-speed version.

Nice but only sort of comfy sandal
"These are lovely shoes, my husband especially likes them and thinks they look hot. They are a little on the long side and sometimes the zipper on the back gets stuck. They aren't horribly uncomfortable but they aren't exactly shoes I'd want to wear for countless hours either while being on my feet."

Awesome Shoe
"I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and can be worn for hours. I was leery of buying them at first because of the zipper in the back ; however, the zipper is comfortable and leaves plenty of room around the ankles. Very sexy shoe! Can be worn with a summer dress, capris, etc. Can dress them up or dress them down."

Jason Shoemark starts at centre for Exeter as they prepare for Saturday's Premiership clash with Harlequins at Twickenham Stadium.
Jason Shoemark starts at centre for Exeter Chiefs as they prepare for Saturday's Premiership clash with Harlequins at Twickenham Stadium.
The Chiefs have tweaked their line-up slightly with England international Tom Johnson returning to the back-row at the expense of Kai Horstmann and Shoemark also replacing Sam Hill. However, Horstmann is retained in the match-day 23 as he replaces Don Armand on the bench.
Scrum-half Haydn Thomas, meanwhile, is poised to make his 150th league appearance for the club, while Gareth Steenson is now just five points away from going second on Exeter's all-time list of points' scorers in league rugby. He is currently four points behind Andy Green's tally of 1,085, but is still some way short of Tony Yapp's record of 1,526.
"Over the years we've tended to finish the season strongly, but what we can't do is let teams get too far ahead of us because it will become too difficult in the long run," said Director of Rugby Rob Baxter.
"At the moment we're right in the battle, a point off where we'd like to be, which is the top four, but at the same time there are a couple of teams below us who are fighting to get above us.
"Ultimately the top half is where you have to stick because that is what gives you the big European games, which are very important to us, and if you are in the top six, you then have to be aiming for the top four because if you're not, you aren't showing the ambition you'd expect."
Meanwhile, there are just three changes to the Harlequins side that played Bath last week as centre Tom Casson, scrum half Danny Care and tighthead prop Will Collier return from injury to start.
Care, Mike Brown, Nick Evans, George Robson, Chris Robshaw and Nick Easter have participated in all Big Games to date and will all make their sixth appearance in the annual festive fixture.
Form: Harlequins 3-14 loss at Bath on Saturday ended a four game winning run in Aviva Premiership Rugby. 'Quins have won the last four outings they have played at Twickenham Stadium since Saracens beat them there on 27th December 2011. Exeter Chiefs 16-3 victory at home to Newcastle in round 10 ended a five game losing run in all tournaments. The Chiefs have not won on the road since an 18-16 victory at Sale in the Premiership on 1st November. Exeter have made four previous appearances at Twickenham, all in finals of various national cup competitions, but unfortunately have lost on each occasion. The two clubs have already met this season with the Chiefs winning 19-5 at Sandy Park in the Anglo-Welsh Cup in November. Exeter also won both Premiership encounters between the two clubs in the 2012/13 season.
The teams:
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Charlie Walker, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Tom Casson, 11 Sam Smith, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Luke Wallace, 5 George Robson, 4 Charlie Matthews, 3 Will Collier, 2 Dave Ward, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Max Crumpton, 17 Mark Lambert, 18 Paul Doran Jones, 19 Nick Kennedy, 20 Tom Guest, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Ben Botica, 23 Ollie Lindsay-Hague.
Exeter Chiefs: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Jack Nowell, 13 Ian Whitten, 12 Jason Shoemark, 11 Tom James, 10 Gareth Steenson, 9 Haydn Thomas, 8 Dave Ewers, 7 Ben White, 6 Tom Johnson, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dean Mumm (c), 3 Hoani Tui, 2 Jack Yeadle, 1 Ben Moon.

First Diesel released their denim x sweatpants hybrid, and now Scandinavian menswear brand Soulland has answered the release with their own version of this denim-lovers' genre of loungewear: the Hardgrove denim sweatshirt.
