CHP to serve up maximum enforcement for Thanksgiving
December 26, 2012
For many, Thanksgiving is a time for getting together with friends and loved ones to give thanks. Knowing that the holidays can make for busy conditions on the roadways, the California Highway Patrol is prepared to keep traffic moving and motorists safe throughout the long weekend.
Thanksgiving is a Maximum Enforcement Period for the CHP. The Thanksgiving holiday reporting period begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, and runs through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 25.
"Motorists are less likely to encounter one of our officers by simply wearing their seat belt," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. "Not only does the law require everyone inside the vehicle to be properly secured, seat belts are your best line of defense in a collision."
During last year's Thanksgiving holiday travel period, 32 people lost their lives on California's roadways due to a collision. This was a 52 percent increase from Thanksgiving 2010. Additionally, two-thirds of the people killed in collisions within CHP's jurisdiction last year were not wearing a seat belt.
"Although the majority of motorists in California are buckling up every time they get into a vehicle, there is still a small portion of the motoring public that need this reminder," Farrow said. "By not wearing your seat belt, the risk of death or injury in a collision substantially increases."
The CHP would also like to remind motorists to avoid distracted driving, travel at a speed that is safe for conditions and also designate a non-drinking driver for the safety of everyone on the road. Last year during the Thanksgiving holiday, the CHP made 1,475 arrests for driving under the influence. The public is encouraged to report unsafe or impaired drivers by calling 911.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has designated Nov. 16-25, 2012, as the national "Thanksgiving Holiday Travel, Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time."

So So.
Shikaku, badass until the very end.
This had better be one hell of a plan...
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Hah, I feel like Madara steals the show every chapter. He just seems so damn happy to be evil.
Shikaku's sacrifice marks the first major casualty in the war... he doesn't seem like such a major character, but he's been given far more panel time than any of the Rookies for the past hundred chapters or so... I, for one, hope that his sacrifice was not in vain!
Apparently Shikaku figured something out after noticing how it'd be a waste of chakra (to no avail) to block the Juubi. After that, he asked Kakashi about the previous battles. I'm assuming whatever plan he came up with involves causing the Juubi to quickly burn through its chakra.
Madara also says it's going to get harder to control the Juubi. I wonder if bolstering his Hashirama Power is enough to maintain control; once it beefs up a bit (and presumably becomes more human-like), it may require more than just a little root to maintain a link.
Naruto himself has been out of the spotlight for a while now... I'm sure his connection with the Bijuu will be the ultimate downfall of the Juubi.
I really hope the Bijuu continues to evolve because this latest form is an even less appealing design than the last one.
At this point I really don't see how the Alliance can hope to stop Madara or the Juubi. Madara alone was already able to defeat the 5 Kages with ease and now the Juubi has shown that it can basically wipe out the entire country and it appears to be immune to the combined attacks of all 5 villages. However, it seems like Madara and Obito are starting to loose control of it and I suspect by the time it reaches its full power it will cease to be a mindless monster. There have already been several hints that the Juubi is not as simple minded as it seems and as it evolves it seems to be growing progressively more human. I suspect that Madara will loose control before he even gets to attempt the Eternal Tsukiyomi. I am curious to see how this plays out because I really can't see the Naruto taking down the Juubi or Madara as he is, but at the same time I really don't see Madara winning this battle either. I think that somehow this battle will end in everyone's plans falling apart and both sides will have to regroup.
If the Juubi breaks free of Madara's hold on it though, I have to wonder what it will do. So far we really don't really know what sort of being the Juubi is or even where it came from. From what we have been told it seems like the Juubi always existed, but if that is true why did it even need to be sealed in the first place? The purpose of the Juubi remains perhaps the biggest mystery of all, and I have a feeling that is really what Orochimaru's scroll is about. Orochimaru dedicated his life to studying bloodlines and even seemed to have a fair knowledge of natural energy. Orochimaru seemed to know things that even Madara didn't know about. We know that the scroll has the potential to change the entire course of the war, the war is about the Juubi and almost all of Madara and Tobi's powers seem to be linked to the Juubi. That seems to hint that the scrolls are somehow related to the Juubi and its powers. Suigetsu also brought the scroll directly to Sasuke because he believed that he would be able to use it. Tobi also believed that obtaining Sasuke was the most important part of his plan and he intended to link him to the statue (which we now know is the Juubi's body). Yet despite all of the focus on Sasuke, we have yet to see Sasuke do anything that hasn't been done to a greater extent by other characters. So what is really so important about Sasuke. Sasuke must have some quality that even Madara and Tobi do not possess, or he would not be so important. Madara must be lacking something that Sasuke has the potential to obtain.
A really wild guess:-
Naruto enters the belly of the beast, literally. It would seem to me that the way to attack the Juubi is from inside it. Inside it someone could cut off Madara's link to the Juubi's mind, or cut off the Juubi's link to the Bijuu it absorbed.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Wow shi* just got real......
- Every tail has a hand now lol
- 1 ear , 1 eye , 1 mouth
- its mouth reminds me of the eva mass prduction unit models
- look like the Juubi was missing itsl eft arm & leg....
- R.I.P. Shikakku & Ao its funny at this point I didnt expect them to get targeted anymore but it makes sense.
- That should fuel everyone to fight harder.
- Everyone was entrusted with Shikakku final strategy
Damn, if there was any doubt about Madara's capacity for being brilliantly evil then let such doubts be laid to rest, here and now. If he and the Juubi are to be stopped then it's gonna take something massive. I hope Shikaku's plan works so that their loss isn't for nothing.
Good gawd I don't know who is a more villainous bastard Madara from Naruto or Blackbeard from One Piece. They are both the sort of bad dudes fans love to hate.
I'm just going to take a gamble that this is why Obito wanted Sasuke as he need help controlling the Jyuubi. He probably was planning on upgrading Sasuke with Hashrima cells.
I was hoping we would see what Oro & Sasuke are up to and what the hell is in that scroll ????

This weekend I bought what were probably my last raspberries of the summer. They looked good at the market, but at the bottom of the container they were either mushy or filled with white fuzz.
To stretch the remaining berries, I made jam using a sour applesauce base of granny smiths and lemon. This trick, from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving, made firmer, fruitier preserves than my long-boil strawberry jam. The sour apples' natural pectin helped the jam reach gel stage in only twenty minutes, preventing the sugar from caramelizing and preserving most of the fresh berry flavor. This bright, sunny jam was inexpensive, easy to prepare, and it tastes like July on toast.
The rest of the berries went into muffins, which I shared with other NPR nerds volunteering at Maine Public Broadcasting Network's summer pledge drive. These were a variation on my Blueberry Wheat Muffins recipe; fresh raspberries and lemon peel give them some color and a slightly sour kick. That they were made with local, organic berries and whole wheat flour made them a hit with the crunchy, conscientious devotees of Fresh Air and This American Life.
Between pledge breaks, I made progress on my seed stitch necktie and chatted with a retiree who was knitting a cat blanket for her local animal shelter.
These are my people.
Finally, I hit a modest milestone last week, with my one hundredth post. Thanks to all of you who've been reading, sharing ideas, and trying out recipes. Of the first hundred posts, here are five of my favorites. I can't wait to see what I'll be eating and knitting one hundred posts from now.

merry christmas!
Just a quickie post to say happy christmas! I don't really have much to say apart from the fact I've eaten way too much, drank a few too many drinks and I'm feeling totally and utterly content. I was well and truly spoilt this year by my family and I'm feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. Im tempted to do a video or a post on the things I got for Christmas but I don't think I'll be able to get one up until the new year and Im back in London. Hope you've all had a wonderful day whatever you've done!

England made it three away wins in the 2012 Six Nations when they weathered a France storm to run out 24-22 winners on Sunday.
England made it three away wins in the 2012 Six Nations when they weathered a France storm to run out 24-22 winners in Paris on Sunday.
The visitors outscored their hosts three tries to one in a thrilling encounter that went down to the wire as the French fought in vain to keep their 10-match unbeaten run at Stade de France intact.
It was a passionate performance from the English, who never relinquished their lead after centre Manu Tuilagi crossed for the opening try in the 13th minute of the match.
France's efforts in the first half had been disappointing, and the 14-9 deficit at the break was a good reflection of this, but also the superb work of the visitors.
England came out with the same passion and vigour in the second 40 as they had done in the previous half, bruising in the forwards and creative in the backs.
They were unrelenting up front, while France looked rudderless at times when they had the ball.
Their defence was outstanding and managed to hold France off on a weight of possession, until the French staged a dramatic fightback that was ultimately thwarted by their nemesis team.
England, mathematically at least, will head into the final weekend with a shot at the title – and Stuart Lancaster's bid to become the next full-time coach is building momentum. Wales, though, are now all but guaranteed the Six Nations title.
England's aggressive defence really rattled and disrupted France early on and the visitors took full advantage with two first-half tries.
Chris Ashton made a big hit on the halfway line and Owen Farrell and Lee Dickson combined to unleash Tuilagi who out-sprinted the cover to touch down in the corner.
Farrell converted with a terrific kick from the touchline and England doubled their lead five minutes later.
Number eight Ben Morgan thundered through the French defence before offloading to his namesake Foden and the England full-back scrambled to the line. Farrell added the simple conversion.
France kept in the game with three first-half penalties, Lionel Beauxis landing two and Julien Dupuy slotting one.
Farrell landed a penalty early in the second half as England survived a period with Charlie Sharples in the sin-bin for a deliberate knock on. On his return, though, Beauxis and replacement Morgan Parra cut England's lead.
However, the decisive moment came when Tom Croft was given space to hit full stride before cutting through the French line and rounding the cover.
Farrell's tough conversion was crucial as France rallied once again.
Finally France crossed the tryline to make it a tension-filled last five minutes as Wesley Fofana went over in the corner for his fourth try in as many matches after being fed by Parra, who then converted from the touchline.
The French went roaring back into the English half spearheaded by Aurélien Rougerie but replacement Francois Trinh-Duc's effort at a drop-goal fell short and England held on.
Man of the match: England's victory truly was a group effort, and a team gong is richly deserved. However, it's hard not to single out some outstanding performances – namely from Dan Cole, Geoff Parling and Owen Farrell. But in the end we thought Ben Morgan gave as good as he got with a tough and uncompromising effort at number eight for England.
Moment of the match: Take your pick! There were many, but England's third try did it for us as Tom Croft sent Aurélien Rougerie the wrong way and broke one tackle to touch down. Brilliant.
Villain of the match: There was a yellow card for Charlie Sharples, but we really don't think there was hardly any malice involved.
The scorers:
For France:
Try: Fofana
Con: Parra
Pens: Beauxis 3 , Dupuy, Parra
For England:
Tries: Tuilagi, Foden, Croft
Cons: Farell 3
Pen: Farrell 2

Replacements: 16 William Servat, 17 Vincent Debaty, 18 Lionel Nallet, 19 Louis Picamoles, 20 Morgan Parra, 21 Francois Trinh-Duc, 22 Maxime Mermoz.
England : 15 Ben Foden, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 Charlie Sharples, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Tom Croft, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Mouritz Botha, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Dylan Hartley, 1 Alex Corbisiero.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
A presentation of Emery County Employee Service Awards were given out by Commissioners Laurie Pitchforth and Jeff Horrocks as Commissioner Gary Kofford read off the names of those receiving awards. Kofford estimated this was about 445 years of service to Emery County. The following employees were honored for their service including: five year service pins: Clinton Olsen, Mary Huntington, Dottie Grimes, Stephanie Oviatt, Natalie Gardner, Dustin Deto, Robert Riley, Kurt Price, Marilyn Olsen; 10 years: Tammy Bentley, Mick Robinson, Jeff Guymon, Coby Hunt, 15 years, Kris Bell, Nadine Thompson, Carol Cox, Jeanette Bray, Kay Jensen; 20 years: Roxanne Noyes, Bonnie Day, Mike Jorgensen, Brook Smith; 25 years-Loyette Holdaway, Doug Downard, Tom Harrison, Les Wilberg; 30 years-James Nielsen; 35 years-Flora Mott; and 40 years-LaMar Guymon.
After the opening prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, Commissioner Gary Kofford Chairman and the commission took up the Consent Agenda. This eliminates the need to discuss each item in public. The consent agenda is done to shorten the amount of time spent in commission meeting. If any commissioner or person wants more information about an item being voted on that item can be pulled from the consent agenda and discussed.
The following items were listed in the consent agenda. Approval of the check edit list, requisitions, and dispositions. Ratification of motion for clerk/auditor to proceed with the jail bond pay-off and associated paper work. Approval of out of state travel for Tina Carter, Jeff Horrocks, Mike McCandless and Laurie Pitchforth. Approval of LaMar Guymon, Trina Maxfield, and Gary Kofford as travel bureau volunteers. Ratification of contract addendum with Rocky Mountain Power for service at the Emery County Food Bank. Ratification of local government contract for the South Moore cut-off road, phase 9.
Ratification of letter requesting to waive the 30 day appeal period on the landfill patent. Ratification of city appointments to the Emery County Recreation Special Service District, Shaun Bell/Orangeville, Jeff Cowley/Huntington, Jesse Ward/Cleveland, and Brent Hadfield/Elmo. Ratification of approval of new signatories on inmate trust account for the Sheriff's Office. Approval of personnel issues. Approval of $45/month cell phone stipend for Margaret Keller. Approval of 3 percent wage increase for Patsy Grange who has successfully completed her six month orientation period.
Approval to hire Carole Larsen as the library director/branch librarian. Approval of hire Roxanne Noyes as the assistant director/branch librarian. Approval to reassign Gayleen Cox from secretary grade II to deputy clerk/auditor I grade 13. Approval of $25/month uniform allowance for Pauline Stilson beginning January 2011. Approval of commission meeting minutes dated Dec. 7, 2010. The consent agenda was voted on and approved by the commissioners as one block of items.
Commissioner Kofford pulled item 12 forward at this time and said, "We have been working for approximately four years with the BLM, trying to get a patent for 160 acres for the landfill. Jerry Kenska, BLM and Connie Leschin are here to present a patent to the county."
"In the consent agenda. There was an item 7, ratification of a letter requesting to waive the 30 day appeal period on the landfill patent. We did get a draft permit a couple of weeks ago and through the normal process there is a 30 day comment period. The county commissioners opted to bypass that 30 day comment period to expedite the issuance of a landfill patent. We did write a letter and we approved that letter,"said Kofford.
Kenska, BLM acting manager of the Price field office came forward to make the presentation. He said Patricia Claybaugh will replace him in a month on Jan. 31 and he has enjoyed working with Gary and the other commissioners. "When we were trying to get this patent completed, I was hopeful that we could get it done before you (Gary) left and we were able to get it done. Connie took the lead in getting it processed and I want to make sure she is recognized for that as well. From the information we have the process started back in 2006 when I came to the Price office. This is one of the items the commissioners wanted to see if we could get finished. The patent was signed last Wednesday. We received it on Friday, and it is quite a big deal for the BLM to issue patents on public lands. That is why it takes so much time. I am more than pleased to present the patent to you. I know the county was in a little bit of a bind," said Kenska. Kenska then handed the patent to Commissioner Kofford.
They are still working on a patent for the shooting range. The federal register is out, and there seems to be some movement on that now. Buckhorn Wash is another that they are hopeful about.
Commissioner Kofford said, "We do appreciate you. You have been a good addition to the office."
"It means a lot to the county, the landfill plan that is approved by the State Environmental Quality Air Group expires the end of January. The county is in the process of working with the engineering company Mickelson, Iggy in presenting a new plan to the environmental group. That plan needs to be completed by June. The landfill patent of 160 acres fits into the new plan.
The next item discussed was Item 2 in the consent agenda, ratification of motion for clerk/auditor to proceed with the jail bond payoff and associated paperwork. In the last commission meeting as we were doing budgets it came to our attention that we could pay off one note to Zions Bank on the Justice Center. If we paid that off through 2023, which would make our payment a total of $4,230,000. However if we pay it off now we would pay $3,200,000. That would be a savings of about $1,500,000 in interest. We did make a motion to start that paperwork with Zions and it is complete.
The commission approved a motion for the clerk/auditor to proceed with the jail bond payoff and associated paperwork. That will take place sometime in January at one of the commission meetings.
Approval was given to advertise for new board members on Castle Valley Special Service District, Emery County Special Service District # 1, Emery County Care and Rehabilitation board of directors and Emery County Housing Authority. These positions become vacant January 1.
Approval was given for the 2011 commission meeting and holiday schedule. The commission meetings will be on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, with the exception of August 23, which will be in Green River. In December the meetings will be December 6 at 9 AM and the 20th at 4 PM.
Approval was given for a three-year appointment of McKette Allred to the Emery County Career Service Council.
Approval was given for the use of Secure Rural Schools Title III funds for years 2008 through 2011. It is anticipated that we will receive $110,000 over that 4 year period. We did send a request to the Secretary of Agriculture for 2008 and we did use that $19,000 for the Emery County Sheriff's Office. To reimburse them for search and rescue efforts, equipment, man-hours and various things. We recommend that we continue to put that money into search and rescue. This money would be used on the SITLA land, Forest land and BLM land in the County. Approval was given for the resolution amending the personnel policy, paragraph 8. 7. B. of Emery County, Utah. Mary Huntington, personnel director, came forward to explain this change in personnel policy
This change spells out that if a person is moved to another county job their longevity or time on the job is transferred to that new job. This change goes into effect January 1, 2011.
Approval was given for the change orders for the Emery County Food Bank. The change orders are for shelving and a sign on the front of the building.
Acquisition of a piece of artillery for display at the Veterans memorial in Castle Dale was discussed by Jeff Horrocks. The current piece of artillery that sits in front of the Memorial belonged to the American Legion and was taken from Huntington's city Park, with the understanding that we would try to acquire a piece of artillery to give them or replace the one that we're using. The department of defense has been contacted and they have a 105 recoilless howitzer that is available. My recommendation is that we go after this piece of artillery. We will have to pay for the transportation of the artillery to get it here from the state of Washington. It weighs about 200 pounds. The necessary paperwork is in process. A motion was made and approved to continue the process of acquisition of the howitzer.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth said earlier in the day, we honored Commissioner Gary Kofford with a luncheon and presented him with a plaque from the County, but this one is from our governor to Commissioner Kofford. With many thanks on behalf of our office for your dedicated service to Emery County as a part of the FEALG governing board. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Warm regards from the Governor's Office. To Gary Kofford from Gary Herbert and Greg Bell. Commissioner Pitchforth then made the presentation.
Under commissioners reports Jeff Horrocks and said, he attended the fire district public hearing for approval of their 2010 budget and approval of the 2011 budget. We received a report on three of the new fire trucks that have arrived, one in Green River, one in Orangeville, and one in Emery. We will be sending fireman back east to pick up three more fire trucks. They will leave on the 5th of January. Following that week we will be sending two more to pick up the final two trucks. That will bring to conclusion the eight trucks that we have ordered. I would like to thank Commissioner Kofford for his dedication in making sure that when we acquired those trucks that they were completely paid for through grants from CIB, through funds from the fire district and from mineral lease money out of the County budget. This was quite an accomplishment. Commissioner Kofford needs to be praised a lot for doing that. This will be a $2.5 million dollar addition to the county said Commissioner Kofford.
Commissioner Pitchforth thanked all the employees who have served on various boards in the County and wishes them a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
Commissioner Kofford expressed his appreciation to the people of Emery County for the opportunity to serve for the past eight years. It's been a good experience and I have enjoyed the time. Thank you.
The first Public Hearing was about the opening and amending the 2010 budgets for the Emery County General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds and for the Castle Valley Special Service District.
Brenda Tuttle Clerk/Auditor said basically the difference is that the 2010 and 2011 budget, which is a lot lower, because we have chosen to budget the mineral lease money after we actually receive it. This way, we are not anticipating money that we do not receive. The amended 2010 budget is $14,983,675 that takes into consideration the things we didn't know about that happened throughout the year. For the most part, most of the departments were under or on their budget. The difference is transferred over to the capital projects fund into the other funds that are in deficit for the 2011 budget. That is basically what happened with the amended budget. But if your amended budget is higher than your 2011 budget, you didn't get cut.
Commissioner Pitchforth thanked Brenda for all the work she does and how she makes it easy on the commissioners. Maughn Guymon said the Commission was wise to not budget for mineral lease money they did not have.
Jacob Sharp presented the Castle Valley Special Service District fund that had a need to be opened and amend its general fund budget for the 2010 fiscal year. We did realize slightly higher property tax revenue and also slightly higher mineral lease revenue than what was budgeted. We were able to keep down our expenses so that we did not need the appropriated fund balance. Some of our main savings this year were in wages and administrative costs. Our main savings was in road maintenance, and that represents our chip seal maintenance in Huntington this year. We had budgeted for $660,000 and used $490,000. That represents about $170,000 in savings. Our general maintenance and utilities were significantly over what we had budgeted but in the end, we were able to balance our budget.
The Debt Service Fund. We did have to open and amend it. The only change we made on the Debt Service Fund was in our expenditures we had some interest expense for a tax anticipation note of $14,400 that was not budgeted for. We were short on cash flow in a poor budget year and borrowed money in 2009 for a chip seal project. This was a short term six month loan.
The next public hearing was held for the 2011 budgets for Emery County General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds and for the Castle Valley Special Service District.
Castle Valley Special Service District, Jacob Sharp said the General Fund is slightly higher than the 2010 budget. The reason for that is the maintenance expenditures. There is not much change for administration expenditures over the past few years. I budgeted $192,000 for general maintenance of our system, from our water treatment plant to pipe in the ground, and the secondary system.
We are budgeting $700,000 for our road maintenance and chip seal projects. Last year we budgeted $660,000 and it came well under that. Based on the engineers estimates this is what we need to budget. We are chip sealing the West half of Huntington this year. We will be crack sealing in Orangeville next year. As far as the advertisement in the paper, truth in taxation, this general fund is where that operation and maintenance tax goes.
Our next budget, is the capital projects fund. This is a fund we use for our bond election money. The bond election that was approved in 2009 was to continue our capital projects. We are seeking from the CIB this year $2.32 million in a loan and grant package at a low interest rate.
We have a variety of projects this year as we do every year, waterline replacements, more trenches here in Castle Dale, sewer improvements and a lot of roads, streets, curb and gutter. That money is allocated in those different areas to balance the budget.
The debt service budget, when we acquire bonds to do all these projects, we acquire five and six year bonds. Depending on the year and the repayment schedule these bonds are paid off by property taxes. Next year, it will be right around $2 million, but in the future we're going to try to get down to 1.5 or 1.6 million range on our yearly payment. So that debt service tax can go down to a more reasonable amount.
Brenda Tuttle Clerk/Auditor, I will go over the revenue budget because you set the department budgets. Basically, the budget for 2011 is lower because of the mineral lease money. We will wait until the end of the year to see how much money comes in from that entity. The property taxes are up a little bit because of new growth that we had this year. We lost about $400,000 to $500,000 in interest earnings over the last couple of years. We had to absorb that as well. Under the building authority the bond payment will pay off the bill. Basically were going to pay $3,136,000 to save $1.5 million over the next 15 years. I commend the commission for going along with that plan. It would be very good for the County to get that paid off.
After the two public hearings were closed. Approval was given for the amending of the 2010 budgets for the Emery County General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and the Debt Service Fund for the Castle Valley Special Service District.
Following that action approval was given for the resolution setting the 2011 budgets for the Emery County General Funds Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Debt Service Fund for the Castle Valley Special Service District.

Skip to comments.Lost My FR Sidebars and Can't Scroll Down Again!!!
Posted on 01/05/2013 2:13:21 PM PST by NoGrayZone
Lost my sidebars and scrolling down again!! It was fine just a moment ago!
You broke it, you bought it.
Yup. They're gone
Me too.
"I'm good"
That gives meaning to the old adage, 'Penny for your thoughts'.
Same here.
Stune your keyboard, this is series.
Me too.
Not only series, but HUGH!
Me too. but changed to 20 20 in preferences. Ok now.
Paging Jim Robinson to the white courtesy phone.
Yep . . . happened to me, too. Hate it when that happens!
Can't scroll down to the bottom of the page in comments, no side-bar. Gremlins?
Glad it's not just me.
Click "Headers" on the Brevity section (upper right of screen)
Only you F15, only you....and about 40,000 other FReepers!!! =)
open tags in the source code?
someone doing some tinkering I guess?
Last time this happened we tried all this. This is a problem w/ FR.
Already made my 1st payment. But thanks for playing anyway!!!
By now John should be an expert in fixing this. Maybe he's busy fixing the double, triple, quadruple and quintuple reply posts.
This happened once before. Some were saying they were fine, then they weren't.
Seems to be some sort of "outage" that hits in stages?
Not a computer peep. Have NO idea why this happens. Just know when it does and I panic.
Last time I had to start a thread as well. Not as bad as when FR goes completely down, but enough to jolt me.
Unplug your refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Is there more than 1 thread about it already? I don't see any other pings about it....unless in forums I CAN'T SEE.
As S L O O O O W as usual, but otherwise ok.
you need a new pair of FReeper eyewear my friend.
That would most certainly affect the tea in China.
Good move! :)
We're DOOMED!
I think it's some kind of "chain thing". Last time it happened, people were fine....until they weren't.
Yup - same thing here. was perusing http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2974886/posts which showed 89 Comments but it quit in the middle of #10.
Don't think so. Happened once before. Probably only a matter of time before you are hit. Seemed to work that way the last time.
Also look at the other posts. They have the same problem. Do we ALL need new FR eyewear?
Screw-ed up-ed in the southeast...
I'll check it out later tonight and see what's happenin...
I tried the 20 20 but it did not work. Oh, well, guess I have stuff I should be doing. lol
You lost your sideburns?? Electrolysis?
Seriesly, this thing happens from time to time. It's a temporary technoglitch. Patience, my child, patience. This too shall pass.
Goldarn! That works!
Are you saying you don't like the new FR format, it takes some getting use too but there has been plenty of time to do so.
Just don't worry about it!
Be Happy!
Whew! I thought it was my PC. I even restarted it..
Trying to get hold of John. So far no luck. Hopefully, he'll check for messages soon.
You seem to pretend to know all about my donation records. Please, do tell, and also how you have obtained my personal information.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Send us up the bomb.
Then I have no clue.
Is it losing 'packets' or something?
You and Paladin2....
We all knew you and him were a couple of sidebars short of a full page... :^)
Same here- I'll bet it a priority fix.
Apparently you aren't donating....although perhaps you have been. Lysander seems to think else wise.
I was joking, since you said YOU COULDN'T SEE. And no I don't see any other threads about this problem other than this thread. It is weird as I csnnot scroll down in the main news/activism section anymore than say 5 of the top stories. Anything beyond that and I am screwed. But in this thread for some reason I can scroll down to the 47th comment no problemo.

Great little sneaker!
"My 7-year-old loves her new gym shoes. There's just enough bling to satisfy the fashionista in her, and they are so soft and comfy. She is a size 1, and these seem to fit true to size, but the kinder fit insert tells us that the shoe is too small for her. She swears there's enough room, and her big toe doesn't seem to hit to far forward, so we're keeping these, even though we could probably size up."

Today we're offering you a 3-night Marrakech break for 2 including flights, breakfast, dinner and spa access from just £199pp, saving you up to 48% off iFly's prices.
Based in charming Gueliz just outside bustling Marrakech, the Diwane Hotel is known for its high standards and welcoming staff.

This year's 75-lap Sprint Unlimited will be split into just two segments
instead of three in past years. A competition caution at lap 25 will separate
the segments in this event.
New this year, select fans will be paired with each crew chief for a random
drawing to determine the starting and pit road positions for this race. The
drawings will take place on Friday, Feb. 13 at 3:30 p.m. ET.
The field of 25 Sprint Cup drivers will include 2014 pole award winners,
former Sprint Unlimited race winners and Daytona 500 pole winners who competed
full time this past season as well as all 16 drivers who qualified for last
year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
If an eligible driver does not enter the race, the open position will be
filled based on 2014 championship driver points. The first five provisional
drivers, respectively, are Clint Bowyer, Paul Menard, Marcos Ambrose, Casey
Mears and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
The following drivers are eligible for this year's Sprint Unlimited but have
opted not to compete in the event: David Gilliland (2014 pole winner), A.J.
Allmendinger (2014 Chase driver), Brian Scott (2014 pole winner) and Brian
Vickers (2014 pole winner).
Mark Martin holds the record for most appearances in this event with 24.
Jeff Gordon is expected to make his 22nd straight appearance in this race,
which would extend his record for most consecutive starts.
Nine drivers have won this event multiple times: Neil Bonnett, Dale Earnhardt,
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Dale Jarrett, Ken
Schrader and Tony Stewart.
Dale Earnhardt holds the record for most wins with six (1980, '86, '88, '91,
'93 and '95).
Stewart and Harvick lead all active drivers with three victories each in this
Just five times in the 35-year history of this race has the winner gone on to
win the Daytona 500: Bobby Allison (1982), Bill Elliott (1987), Jarrett (1996
and 2000) and Gordon (1997). Two drivers have won the preseason race and then
gone on to capture the Daytona 500 pole and win the Daytona 500 during
Speedweeks. Elliott did it in 1987, and Jarrett did so in 2000.
Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson, both rookies in Sprint Cup last year, are
scheduled to make their first starts in the Sprint Unlimited. Five drivers
have won this event in their first starts: Buddy Baker (1979, inaugural race),
Earnhardt (1980), Gordon (1994), Jarrett (1996) and Hamlin (2006).
In 2012, Kyle Busch edged Stewart to the finish line by only 0.013 seconds,
making it the closest margin of victory in the history of this race.
The 2015 Sprint Cup points season kicks off with the 57th running of the
Daytona 500 on Feb. 22. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the defending race winner.

This tool would be very useful IF the needles lined up. Sadly they do not, so only two of the tips can be in contact with the surface at once. Your mileage may vary, depending on how carefully the tips...[more]

Sharing and downloading copyrighted material (movies, music, etc.) from the Internet without proper authorization is considered piracy-a violation of federal copyright laws and K-State policy. To combat piracy, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have been successfully suing file sharers all over the United States. For those at K-State, the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 places specific requirements on universities to deal with the problem. This is addressed in K-State's plan to combat illegal file sharing.
You can learn more about K-State's plan to combat illegal file sharing based on the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 in this document.
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). These rights include the right to reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement.
Most of the piracy on the Internet is carried out using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network applications such as Kazaa, eMule, BitTorrent and Gnutella clients like LimeWire.
While these programs can facilitate the quick and easy sharing of files, using them to share copyrighted files is prohibited by K-State policy and federal law.
You can find a list of prohibited file sharing programs here.
Piracy is a form of copyright infringement that refers to the illegal copying, distribution, or use of software, music, movies or any other media that can be digitally stored and transferred. Illegal piracy causes significant lost revenue for publishers, which in turn results in higher prices for the consumer.
There are four categories of piracy:
Penalties for copyright infringement can include both civil and criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at no less than $750 and no more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.
For more information, please see the Web site of the U.S. Copyright Office at www.copyright.gov, especially their FAQ's at www.copyright.gov/help/faq.
In addition to the federal laws, K-State's IT Usage Policy prohibits the use of IT resources for illegal purposes, such as piracy of intellectual property. More specifically, K-State's P2P File Sharing Policy prohibits the use of P2P file sharing applications, illegal acquisition or sharing of music, movies, games, and the like. Consequently, P2P file sharing applications commonly used for illegal purposes are blocked on K-State's network using technology-based deterrents.
For violating K-State IT policy, a full range of sanctions are available that include the suspension of access to network resources or other appropriate university discipline, up to and including termination of employment and expulsion.
K-State has specific procedures it must follow when notified of an alleged copyright infringement under the DMCA. After confirming the infringing activity, network access for the computer involved in the illegal activity is blocked and the infringement noticed is passed on to the owner of the computer.
Pirating any media can cost you both federally and in university. A few songs or a movie is not worth expulsion or fines, and is definitely not worth jail time.
In addition to the legal and policy issues related to downloading media from unauthorized sources on the Internet, many new viruses and worms also proliferate across P2P networks. It is possible to download a file that appears benign and end up with a malicious program that takes control of your computer.
Not only are there malicious programs masquerading as downloadable files but sometimes the illicit file sharing programs themselves can cause problems. File sharing consumes shared bandwidth which can significantly slow down other Internet-related activities for you and others on the K-State network. Also, if the program is incorrectly configured, it may even share files on your computer that you never intended anyone else to see like bank records, personal information, or confidential University data.
The most simple solution is to just buy it. It assures that you don't violate any laws, download and viruses, and the quality of the media.
Several services are available that allow you to pay for the music, movies or television shows on a per-item basis, or through an "all you-can-consume" monthly fee.
Most of these services include licenses with each song that allow you to copy the song to multiple listening devices and store it on your computer, for your personal use only. Furthermore, these pay-per-download services charge as little as 50 cents per song or a few dollars for movies and they have hundreds of thousands of selections in their catalogs.
Some of these sites include:
A comprehensive list of legal file sharing alternatives can be found on Educause's Legal Sources of Online Content website.
Criminal penalties and civil remedies for violation of Federal copyright laws are summarized in this Congressional Research Services report:
There are several other sites that have more information on piracy and what you can do to keep from violating these laws:
