- Why did you launch this historic-and, if I may be so bold, hysterical-campaign? I've ALWAYS been a politics junkie. The process, the drama, the passion. My mom wouldn't let me watch Dallas, so politics was the next best thing. I've always wanted to run, and now I'm finally old enough!!! Seriously-it's the last big hold out...you know-driving, drinking, car rental and...president!! And really, I've been in this "I'm not wild about either" place for so long, and felt like every one else I talked to was in the same place... so... I decided that if no one was gonna represent me, I would represent me.
- In your "Home Blog," you refer to yourself as "Hot Tub Lizzy." If you prevail November 4th, what Official Moniker will you adopt? Hmmm... Hot Tub Head Honcho? Hot Tub Prezzy? Her High Hotness?
- You say you represent "The Plaid Party." Does this mean you have a certain affinity for things Tartan, or are you just a tad squeamish around the colors Red, Blue, or perhaps Purple? As a descendant of the Clan McCloud, I actually have Plaid blood running through my veins. You know how birds are drawn to shiny objects? That's me and plaid. I can be engaged in a heated intense discussion, but if I see plaid out of the corner of my eye, I find myself drawn to it...FEAR not, however; this will not affect my ability to lead this great nation into greaterness.
- You seem to have a great love of Ducks. Is this a life-long obsession, or just a special-interest group that is "feathering" your nest? As much as I think that Ducks are a vastly misunderstood and under-appreicated segment of our society, I pledge that I will NOT be swayed in any way by the pullings and panderings of any special interest groups. Now, if the ducks, geese, pigeons and other flying foul of our country can unite for a common purpose, I would be happy to sit down and talk with them.
- I've noticed from several of your posts that you migrated in recent years from the Upper Midwest to the more temperate climes of North Carolina. Do you consider either Minnesota or North Carolina to be "Swing States," or are they solidly in your corner? North Carolina...I have to be honest... I'm not even sure I have SEEN a swing here. Been to a couple different parts...I know they have slides, monkey bars (I propose we change these to "Simian Bars" so as to not offend other primates), I know they have those little bridges that everyone always plays trolls on. But... no swings. (Please cue creepy swing-creaking music here)... so I guess I will call them solidly in my pocket. Minnesota is...a beaver of another color. This is the state that elected "Jesse the Body" as governor...and now has nominated Stuart Smalley as a senatorial candidate. So...I'd say my chances there are PRETTY dang good.
- Your User Profile says that you are close to certain persons known only as "Essie," "Gert," "Mr. B." and "Mimi." Will they serve in a Hot Tub Lizzy Administration? And, if so, in what capacity? Gert, Essie & Mimi are part of my 3-fold approach to national security and world peace.
#1 Gert-Gert is our first line of defense. I plan to send her to problematic foreign leaders and have her give them this look (see photo, right), 'cause no one can say "no" to that. If by some chance Gert is NOT successful with that look, we will then send in...
#2 Essie-Essie will attempt something like this:
Essie - "Mr Prime Minister. Will you please stop making nuclear weapons?"
Mr. PM - "No"
Essie - "PLEASE, Mr. PM? Please will you stop making nuclear weapons?"
Mr. Pm - "I said No!"
Essie - "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE? I promise we'll be REALLy good, will you PLEASE stop."
Mr. PM - "I already told you ,NO!"
Essie - "But I said PLEASE. PLEASE stop making them."
Mr. PM - "I SAID NO!"
Essie - "But, I WANT you to STOP MAKING THEM. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I won't ask for anything EVER again!"
Mr. PM - "NO NO NO Don't you listen?"
Essie - "PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE???? I just really want you to stop and I'll be SO good and I won't even pick on Gert if you'll stop."
Mr. Pm - "NO"
Essie - "Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please?
Mr. PM - "OH FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP!!! FINE, WE'LL QUIT MAKING THEM. JUST PLEASE STOP!!!" Now... if THAT should SOMEHOW fail... then we will send in the Big Guns...
#3 - Mimi.... she's just nag the heck out of them and they'll be forced to see our way.
Now, regarding Mr. B... his involvement will be more... behind-the-scenes support.
- What are your views on Lipstick, especially on Pigs? I think that the government has no right to say whether or not a pig should wear lipstick. If a pig feels that wearing lipstick expresses her (or HIS) true self, then they should be allowed to wear it as long as they don't infringe upon the lipstick-wearing rights of others.
- Speaking of lipstick, you, obviously, are a woman. What would you like to say in support of your candidacy to female voters throughout This Great Land? It's pretty basic-all those times you saw the President and said "He just doesn't get it..." well, now someone does. And I will make all companies give women 12 paid PMS days a year. And guys, I don't want to HEAR about it.
- What does the Hot Tub symbolize in your candidacy? A place where ALL sides can come together, relax, and solve the problems of the world. Isn't that what hot tubs are for?
- Boxers or briefs? Thongs.

Arguments against DST appealing
November 8, 2011
My grandmother refused to go forward. She always figured she'd be back anyway.
Me: "Hey, Grandma, your clocks are all off by an hour. What's wrong with them?"
Her: "Oh, I just don't change them when Daylight Saving Time comes around. I only need to change my watch, and I'll just have to do all of the work again when we lose an hour a few months later."
I offered to change the clocks, and she refused. Every appeal to logic was thwarted by her "logic." Why, she was USED to the clocks being off by that point, and I'd throw her off by correcting them now.
It was also unusual when I'd visit my aunt in Phoenix. The clocks were off, she said, because, "Oh, we don't observe Daylight Saving Time here." I'm not positive, but I think that makes Arizona the Jehovah's Witness of the United States.
As I sat in my bedroom Sunday, changing clock after clock while waiting another hour for football games, I was beginning to see the logic of my grandmother and Arizona. I'm not built for time changes, given my oddly selective attention to detail:
n I want every watch to be synchronized to the correct time. I have a handheld atomic clock, and I have time.gov bookmarked on my web browser should I ever lose the clock.
n Every TV, every VCR, every DVD player get set to the proper time. I'd hate to miss the first few minutes of "The Daily Show," or the final minutes of some great documentary that aired while I was out.
n My alarm clock is set for five minutes after the actual time, because that represents the time I'm going to get up ... five minutes from now.
n My bathroom clock is set for eight minutes after, because I took more than five minutes.
n My microwave clock is set for the correct time, to bring me back to earth and let me know exactly how much time I have for breakfast.
n My car clock is five minutes fast, all so I can hurry to work.
Every six months, I recreate this pattern of self-deception, all for whatever reason DST exists.
I go with DST, because the rest of the country does, and I can't just decide the city commission meeting or the football game I'm covering starts when I say it's 7 p.m.
But the more the Internet has publicized individual opinions, the more DST resistance I see. My friend Sarah refused to change her clocks, and said she'll observe Daylight Sarah Time instead.
Maybe Sarah's right. Just like my grandmother, or Arizona, or the numerous countries that have decided it's just not worth it. Their reasons are flimsy, but many arguments for DST are also based on "logic." Maybe the clock-blockers are the silent majority.
You want to increase voter turnout for 2012, Republicans and Democrats? Put this on the ballot, and I'll be sure to show up before polls close at 7. I'll bring my atomic clock with me, just to be safe.

After suffering eight successive losses, the Highlanders will be a desperate side when they host the Sharks in Dunedin on Saturday.
After suffering eight successive losses, the Highlanders will be a desperate side when they host the Sharks in Dunedin on Saturday.
Th home side were amongst the early favourites to win the tournament, at the start of the campaign, but things have gone pear-shaped for coach Jamie Joseph and his troops.
Their eight straight losses, is the Highlanders' worst start ever to a Super Rugby season. In 2008, they lost their first six games of the season before beating the Lions in Dunedin.
Of those eight defeats, their biggest losing margin came against the Cheetahs in Round four when they lost 36-19 in Dunedin and their narrowest loss came against the Reds in Round seven when they beaten 34-33 at the same venue.
They will, however, be well rested after having a bye last week.
It's difficult to pinpoint where the Highlanders' faults lie but something that has been evident throughout their campaign is their inability to play as a unit.
On too many occasions, their forwards and backs have been on different wavelengths and if they want to claim that elusive win this is an area which they must improve in.
The loss of Ma'a Nonu in midfield through injury has been offset by the return of fellow All Black Tamati Ellison, who makes his first appearance of the season after a lengthy spell on the sidelines after shoulder surgery.
Despite their poor form, players like Ben Smith and Hosea Gear have been playing well and if the Highlanders want to be successful they should try to create space for these potent attacking weapons to exploit.
Although they are in a better position than the Highlanders, the Sharks are in the midst of a slump of their own after losing their last three matches.
The showed plenty of resolve to fight back against the Chiefs last weekend, but still didn't do enough to win.
Coach John Plumtree was however happy with the four tries his team scored in Hamilton for only their second try-scoring bonus point of the season after they had gone try-less for three matches before that.
"We took a step up in the try-scoring department against the Chiefs when we scored four tries against the current champions and we're hoping we can continue that this week against the Highlanders," he said.
"We took some confidence out of the way we played, but at end of day, we lost and that's disappointing. The players are really disappointed.
"They've lost three games in a row and we're under pressure now, we can't really afford to lose any more and we have to create that desperate edge that will drive us hard on the weekend.
"It's tough times for all of us but the players need to have the confidence to go out there and play on the weekend – that's certainly been something we've talked about."
Prediction: Both sides are not in the best of form but with Brad Thorn celebrating his 100th game in the competition his team-mates will be motivated to do it for the former All Black. Highlanders by four points!
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Phil Burleigh, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Shaun Treeby, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 TJ Ioane, 7 John Hardie, 6 Jarrad Hoeata, 5 Josh Bekhuis, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Chris King, 2 Andrew Hore (c), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Liam Coltman, 17 Ma'afu Fia, 18 Elliot Dixon, 19 Joe Wheeler, 20 Fumiaka Tanaka, 21 Hayden Parker, 22 Jason Emery.
Sharks: 15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Frans Steyn, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Pat Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Lubabalo Mtembu, 7 Marcell Coetzee, 6 Keegan Daniel (c), 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Pieter Steph du Toit, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Kyle Cooper, 1 Wiehahn Herbst.

You combine turquoise with taffeta and there's only one place you should be: The Enchantment Of The Sea, graduating class 1987. Have your best friend hold your hair back while you puke tequila in this dress. Lose your virginity in this dress. But do not, do not wear this dress to the Emmy's, for Christ's sake. Even if it has pockets and Oscar De La Renta made it.


text: Textured beach waves are a Summer hair staple, but since most of us aren't parked on the beach seven days a week (although we so would love to be), we have to improvise on the waves front. Luckily, it's easy and inexpensive to get the look at home. Here are 10 beach sprays you can get at your drugstore now . . . and they're all under $10.

She never complained about being sick, always maintaining a brave front so she would not worry those she loved the most.

The family would like to extend a special appreciation of thanks to Dr. Rich of Provo, and Dr.'s McArdle and Seder of Portland, as well as the nursing staff that cared for her while she was a patient at the Maine Medical Center. We appreciate the extra special care and attention that she received. We know that she was in good and capable hands.
In lieu of flowers please make donations in her honor to the American Cancer Society.

I don't think any of those names strike me as common/popular at all, except perhaps Charlotte. And maybe Eliza, only because all the "El-" names are so popular, and they all kind of blend together after a while.
I love Tessa! I also love Juliet, Clara and Genevieve.......they are ALL gorgeous! I think they would all be a great choice -- beautiful, classy and recognizable, without feeling trendy or popular. I also don't think you want to go too exotic with a son named James. The names on your list are perfect!
March 12th, 2013 03:24 PM #12
This is a really good list- I've looked through it for hours! It groups popularity by spelling too, so you know the actual popularity!

Eliza- Elodie, Elsa, Eliora, Liza, Liana, Eliska,
Tessa- Theresa, Tirzah, Therese, Essa, Nessa, Odessa, Anisa, Alessandra, Carissa, Clarissa, Clarisse
Juliet- Jett, Harriet, Lita, Vita, Amoret, Antoinette, Julissa, Jewel, Elisabette, Elisabetta, Margaret
Genevieve- Geneva, Ginevra, Guinevere, Jenifry, Maeve, Eve, Navi, Jillian
Clara- Lara, Cara, Kari (prn Car-ee), Chiara/Kiara, Cordelia, Clarisse, Clarissa
Charlotte- Carlotta, Carly, Chiara, Sharon, Lottie, Allouette/Alouette, Celia, Clementine, Susannah
Remember, it is hard to judge a name's popularity by message boards, especially ones with such different name tastes than the rest of the population.
For example:
Genevieve was the name for just 1,356 little girls- or around 0.0706%.
1378 girls were named Tessa, and that name accounts for just 0.0718%.
Just 1,241 little girls were called Eliza, or about 0.0648%.
The romantic Juliet was borne by 1263 girls, or just 0.0658%.
The percentages mean that hypothetically, out of ten thousand little girls born that year, less than a quarter of one girl is named Genevieve, Eliza, Juliet or Tessa.
For Clara, 2055 girls were called that (or 0.1070%). That's about one per every ten thousand.
Even Charlotte isn't as popular as you might believe. While 6365 sounds like a lot of little Charlottes, it's only about .3314%, which means that out of every thousand girls born in 2011, three will be a Charlotte.~lucy reine~~ celestine eira ~ mary simona ~ elizabeth echo "ellie" ~ eleanor maeve "lena" ~ vivienne isla ~ celia matilda "cici" ~ catherine aiko "rin" ~ elsa verity ~~ jasper red ~ evander lachlan 'evan'~ kai nicholas ~ ezra link ~ avery thomas ~ michael satoshi "mischa" ~ finn jeremias ~ ezekiel hayden ~ alexander rowan "sacha" ~

Awesome ProductIve been using Kerastase products for almost 5 years, and this is by far the best shampoo and conditioner combo thus far. I have very dark hair, in which I get highlighted and bumped a few shades lighter... I'm basically blonde. I also have very curly hair, and use flat iron, curly iron, etc... I was told that my hair wouldn't grow much due to the over processing, BUT this stuff has helped tremendously! My hair is long and looks totally healthy because of this. I highly recommend it.Jun 17, 2011Jackie S. / Princeton, NJHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Not All It's Cracked Up To BeMy stylist told me, that my hair (which is thick, healthy, very wavy and colored) would not even require conditioner with this shampoo. I don't know if the advice I got was off or the shampoo just isn't all it's cracked up to be. I just know that even with this insanely expensive shampoo, I still have the exact same problems I had using Neutrogena Moisture. And that was a LOT less expensive!Sep 27, 2010Shannen K. / DallasHAIR TYPEAuburn / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

4 Marketing Resolutions to Make This Year
By Rieva Lesonsky, Guest Blogger
Published: January 7, 2014 Updated: January 7, 2014
If there's one area of operations most small businesses can stand to improve, it's marketing. As a small business expert, I get more questions about marketing than any other aspect of business—and it's been that way for the last 30 years. Since the New Year is all about improving oneself, how about making some marketing resolutions for your business? Here are four to consider.
- I resolve to make a marketing plan. Many small business owners market haphazardly, throwing time and money at one marketing method and then, when it doesn't pay off immediately, switching gears to the "next big thing." This scattershot approach does nothing but waste your resources and leave you frustrated and frazzled, convinced that marketing doesn't pay off. Instead, resolve to sit down and set goals for your marketing this year. What exactly do you want to accomplish—more leads, more sales closed, more inquiries? Once you've got goals on paper, figure out the marketing methods that are most likely to get those desired results. Finally, figure out how you'll track results from each marketing method so you can see what's really working.
- I resolve to market consistently. It's easy to fall into the trap of marketing only when you've got the "spare" time for it (which often means "never"). Or maybe you market wildly right before your busy season, then do nothing for months on end. As a result, your sales pipeline slows down. Keep your pipeline full by marketing consistently all year long. That doesn't mean you need the same level of marketing year-round—for instance, a toy retailer would obviously market more before and during the holiday shopping season than in, say, July—but it does mean you need some level of marketing all year. Create a marketing calendar that sets out what you'll do each month and breaks it down further into weekly and even daily marketing efforts. Then put someone in charge of making sure it's all carried out.
- I resolve to keep learning new things. Is your marketing stuck in the past? Advertising only in the print Yellow Pages might work if your clientele is solely seniors…and even seniors are increasingly going online to find businesses instead of letting their fingers do the walking. If you want your business to grow, you've got to keep up with the (marketing) times. Resolve to regularly read industry blogs and publications, attend networking events and conferences, and take webinars and seminars to learn more about new marketing trends and how they're affecting your industry. Pledge to learn something new every month, and at least try some of it. Marketing is moving fast, and if you don't keep up you're going to get left behind.
- I resolve to do market research. Many small business owners see market research as something they do once—when starting their companies—and then never do again. But what happens when your market changes? The 20-somethings you might have targeted with your extreme sports company in 1998 are now in their 40s. Even if they're still buying extreme sports products, the way you market to them needs to be different now from what it was then. Keep tabs on the demographics of your target market so you can adjust your marketing approach to changes in their incomes, lifestyles, media consumption habits and buying behaviors. Use both secondary research from other sources and primary research—that is, simply asking your customers what they want and need.
These four simple resolutions will make a big difference in your results—I promise.
What are your marketing resolutions for 2014?

Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved.

There's an interesting story by way of Bloomberg News this afternoon on the role Paulson & Co. and other prominent hedge funds are reportedly playing in the push to take Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) private.
You could already tell from the performance of these left-for-dead stocks that something unusual is going on. Freddie's is up by 213% this year, to 82 cents. Fannie's shares have enjoyed an even more impressive 2013 ride: Up 228%, to 84 cents.
From Bloomberg's Clea Benson & Cheyenne Hopkins:
Hedge funds including Paulson & Co. Inc. are pushing Congress to abandon plans to liquidate Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) as investors buy up preferred stock that has long been considered worthless, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
The improving finances of the two government-owned mortgage companies have kindled hopes among shareholders that they could be revived as private firms. Even as lawmakers from both parties and U.S. housing officials say that won't happen, preferred shares of Fannie Mae have more than doubled in price since early March. They closed at $4.75 yesterday….
"There are funds that have taken very large positions, large hedge funds, and they are lobbying heavily," Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, said in an interview, declining to confirm any names. "I don't give investment advice, but I don't see how these are going to be worth anything down the road."
Armel Leslie, a spokesman for Paulson, and Liz Gill, a spokeswoman for Carlyle Group LP, majority owner of Claren Road, declined to comment. Perry Capital general counsel Michael Neus didn't respond to requests for comment.

Punishment Pluralism
Michael T. Cahill
Rutgers Law School
September 3, 2010
RETRIBUTIVISM: ESSAYS ON THEORY AND POLICY, Mark D. White ed., Oxford University Press, Forthcoming
Brooklyn Law School, Legal Studies Paper No. 215
This book chapter speculates that contemporary understandings of retribution have come to see it either as a good, or as a deontological side constraint on action, rather than as an affirmative deontological duty, as earlier versions saw it (or purported to see it). Yet if retribution is formulated as a good or a constraint, it loses its centrality as a basis for punishment: under such a view, retribution may be one consideration, among others, favoring (or opposing) punishment, but it cannot justify punishment except in a very narrow sense. Accordingly, characterizing retributivism as a "theory of punishment," which was never entirely apt, now seems untenable. As an alternative, I favor an overtly pluralistic scheme in which various principled and practical considerations, including retributivist considerations, may inform punishment policy at both the systemic and the individual level. To this end, the chapter surveys the most significant arguments for and against punishment, as a first step toward an account that properly balances the competing ends at stake instead of privileging one over the rest.

Exodus (Biblical book)
Exodus [Hebrew:שמות] chronicles the deliverance of the Jewish people out of the slavery of Egypt led by their most revered ancestor, Moses through the work of God. The story of the ten plagues associated with this deliverance are well known. The celebration of Passover commemorates this occasion. Exodus goes on to record the The Ten Commandments as given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai and the stubbornness of the Jewish people against Moses and God. The book also discusses The Tabernacle and many of the laws and customs for the Israelites to live by as God will lead them into the promised land chosen for them.
Exodus is the second book of the Bible in the Old Testament, and contains 40 chapters. As part of the first five books of the Bible, it was first written by Moses. The exact date is unknown, but common estimates place it about 1450 B.C.

Tasty breakfast at north-side Manna Cafe & Bakery
Pancakes, eggs and oatmeal draw customers from far away
By Michelle Li
You'll likely upgrade your breakfast standard once you've devoured a creamy, custardy plate of eggs at Manna Café and Bakery. Egg cookery is a specialty here, inspired by the great Julia Child and applied daily by owners Barb and Mike Pratzel.
"Breakfast is a big deal here," says Barb, who's spent nearly forty years in Madison using the science of cooking and the love of family to fill local bellies and hearts.
And the eggs are just the beginning.
"People will drive two hours to get the oatmeal pancakes," she says.
You're guaranteed to get a knock-your-socks-off morning meal, but the core of the café centers on the wide array of made-from-scratch Jewish breads—from bialys to challah to the corn tzitzel rye bread made so famously by Mike's family at the iconic Pratzel Bakery in St. Louis.
Manna means "substance" or "bread from heaven." It transcends cultures and certainly takes center stage at the bakery. The Pratzels even help preserve a lost culture with their weekly bialy offerings. The onion-filled roll originated in a Polish town, where the Holocaust drastically reduced the Jewish population.
Gluten-free goodies and a one-of-a-kind matzo ball soup also draw rave reviews.
The Pratzels graduated from UW and owned the Collins House B&B before starting the neighborhood noshery. Born in 2005, Manna is now a bright and busy north-side eatery packed daily with families, hipsters and businessfolk.
"The feel of this place is a community gathering place," says Barb. "It's about us and this spot, and we're going to stay that way."

Emery County Historical Society meeting recently covered the topic, "Going To My Grave, The Life And Disappearance Of The Mormon Scout, Levi Gregory Metcalf by Mark Blanchard."
Dottie Grimes gave a special award to someone who has helped preserve our history and heritage. She stated, "We like to honor someone every quarter. Carolyn Jorgensen is the recipient of the award this quarter. This Certificate of Appreciation is for her calendar of photos of Emery County historic buildings. Carolyn with this calendar has recognized and preserved a bit of our history," said Grimes.
Weston Allinson played for the group a musical number on his glittering blue saxophone. This turned out to be a brief enjoyable entertainment for the society members.
Blanchard was introduced as the fifth generation of Levi Gregory Metcalf. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and the University of Pennsylvania. He lives in Springville. Blanchard and his mother Carole Oldroyd started research and writing in 2007 about his grandfather Levi Gregory Metcalf and the Elk Mountain Mission.
Oldroyd said she was happy to be here and to see so many people. Her husband Tim Oldroyd is related to Julie and Mack Huntington and they were in the audience. Oldroyd said, "Mark is going to tell about what happened in your area many years ago." She then displayed a picture which she said has hung in her home, in her mothers home and her grandmothers home, in the homes of aunts and uncles for 150 years. No one knew anything about this man Levi Gregory Metcalf. Oldroyd said, "This man is quite unique. I was told he was my great-grandfather and he was an interpreter, a scout and that he died when he was 27 years old. We don't know very much about him. In 2007 my brother and sister-in-law came to me and said we think it is time someone wrote the story of Levi Gregory Metcalf but we know nothing about him. Do you think your son Mark may be able to help with that? Mark was residing in California at the time. Mark pointed out all the obstacles of research.
"Undaunted we started work, we found stacks and stacks of information. We went through old diaries, old newspapers and old records in Springville. Then we began to learn what happened to this man. He only lived 27 years, he was born in Bingham, N.Y. in 1831. His family was Mormon and moved to Quincy, Ill. His father and mother got very ill with malaria and his mother died. A few months later his father died also. They left an 11 year old girl and Levi who was 7. Two other of their children had gone to live with a family in town.
"When his father died Little Levi, in the middle of the stormy night, had to go to a nearby home three miles away to get help. He left his sister with his father's cooling body. He trudged three miles through the snow, in a blizzard, in the dark. He finally got to the neighbors house and got the neighbor to help him and his sister. Levi then went to live with his grandparents.
"At the age of 19 Levi Gregory Metcalf decided he would go to the California gold fields. He joined a wagon train and hired on to drive a wagon for Thomas Guymon. The wagon train was led by Aaron Johnson. In this wagon train was a very beautiful woman. Her name was Melissa Jane Guymon, the daughter of Thomas Guymon, she was 17 years old. He fell in love with her, decided not to go to the gold fields, instead he would marry Melissa and go to live in Utah. In the book written by Mark, there is a lot of history about the Guymon family, because they are an important part of Levi Gregory Metcalf's history. Levi and his wife Melissa had four children and lived in Hobble Creek later named Springville. He was a Mormon Scout and an Indian interpreter. During his life Levi went many places no one else had ever gone. Levi's scouting ended when he was possibly murdered somewhere near Fort Garland, Colo. at the age of 27," said Oldroyd.
The historian Wade Allinson took Mark Blanchard and his mother Carole Oldroyd over the trail of the Elk Mountain Mission in Utah. Carole said, "Tonight I am presenting Wade with our first hard copy of our book."
Blanchard, the Author of the book "Going To My Grave, The Life And Mysterious Disappearance of the Mormon Scout, Levi Gregory Metcalf," came forward to tell more about this remarkable man.
Blanchard started out by giving a definition of history as, "History is the lies winners like to tell themselves."
There are many characters other than Levi Gregory Metcalf involved in this story such as Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Native Americans, church leaders, friends and brothers. "Today we will talk about a specific group of people in history and one specific time. We will go back in time a little bit.
"Think back and imagine a time when your people have just been decimated by disease, a plague if you will. A huge percentage of them have been wiped out. Imagine in this time there are no mechanical conveniences at all. There is nothing machine wise. Perhaps you have a weapon that was made by someone else. Everything on your body, in your home, on your farm you made or your neighbor has made with their own hands. There is very little metal. There is no money at all. There is no gold or silver. When you want to purchase something, you do not purchase it you trade for it. You trade for things like melons, wheat, corn, tools, or if you happen to have a skill such as making barrels out of wood you trade. There are no doctors. No one understands disease at all. If something goes wrong with you, you have some goofy name for it like the consumption, pleurisy, the quinzy and we do not even know what those names are anymore. They translate to real diseases but we do not know what they are. In that time it was a mystery. If there was a doctor he was probably self appointed or had a diploma by mail. He may have studied herbs a little bit and that was a good thing. All babies are born by midwives. There is no communication with the outside world.
"You live in a kingdom. That is the point I want to stress the most. You do not live in the United States. You do not live in a Democracy, you live in a kingdom, you have a king. He is your sovereign. He makes your decisions for you, tells you where to live, tells you how to get along. He settles all your disputes like a good king. Fortunately he is a good king. He administrates his kingdom by giving power to over-lords. We would call them Dukes in the king analogy. Those Dukes administer their areas with a task force of Knights, largely chivalrous men, largely religious men who lead in honor and duty, to family and country. They are also knights and they have weapons and they enforce the law. They are tough guys. We will be talking mostly about those tough guys. Does anyone have any idea who the king is that I am talking about? No not in the middle ages. Who is the king I am talking about. Well of course it is Brigham Young. Brigham Young in every sense of the word was a king. Before his martyrdom Joseph Smith instituted the Kingdom of God on the Earth of which he was the first king.
"When you come to the wilderness you pretty much have to rule by kingship, because there is just no time to do anything else. Do you know the name of the huge kingdom that Brigham Young established in the West, that stretched almost to Mexico and to Canada? It was called Deseret. It was an enormous territory larger than any state save Alaska. It existed from the Sierra Nevada's to the crest of the Rockies in Colorado. The problem was that it was too big to control. It did not have enough people to control it. Slowly that neighboring kingdom called the United States chipped away at its edges, a piece of Colorado, a piece of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico territories. So the territory of Deseret kept getting smaller and smaller. From 1847 to the 1850s it was getting chipped away.
"Our king was not too happy with this. He wanted to control as much of that territory as he could. He started to send out colonists in all directions, Idaho, Carson City, San Bernardino a Mormon colony formed in the early 1850s to get a foot hold in California, in addition to a lot of little spots around Utah. These powerful devoted followers were given their local territories. Do any of you recognize these men Isaac Morley, Albert Smith, Anson Call, and Aaron Johnson? Isaac Morley was the original founder of the Sanpete area. Aaron Johnson got permission from Brigham Young to settle on Hobble Creek which later became Springville. Isaac Morley was the patriarch who visited Springville quite frequently. Anson Call an early apostle had a lot of control over the Fillmore and Nephi, Utah settlements. George Albert Smith an apostle was more like a prince, because he had responsibility for all of Southern Utah through out most of the 1850s. This was a system of government that functioned really very well. By using this analogy of a kingdom I do not want to denigrate it at all. It was probably the best form of government they could have implemented to enable the settlers to grow and to survive in those early days.
"Then we get down to a class of folks who are knights who are involved in keeping order, colonizing areas, going out scouting, and interfacing with the barbarians (Native Americans) who are always threatening the castles. These were men like Porter Rockwell, Bill Dickman, Jacob Hamblin, the Kit Carson of St. George, George Washington Bean, a scout and interpreter from the Provo area, and Dimick Huntington. That Huntington name I am told resonates with a lot of folks from this area. Dimick Huntington was Brigham Young's number two man in charge of Indian affairs for most of his life. Ephraim Hanks was a famous frontiersman and James Brannon was a scout missionary in the Northern part of the state. Then there was Greg Metcalf. These men didn't really overlap their territories very much. Where one was presiding the others didn't intrude.
"Jacob Hamblin is the honcho down in St. George. He knows all the Indians and he is the man to see down there. Dimick Huntington is over it all.
"Porter Rockwell is over Lehi, Skull Valley and points West to Nevada where he spends most of his time. Rockwell is the chief of them all. Bill Hickman is up in Wyoming most of his time. George Washington Bean is handicapped as he had only one arm, so he follows the leaders around providing interpretation. Ephraim Hanks runs a station on the overland trail most of his life. Levi Gregory Metcalf is the guy over Southeastern Utah or the Colorado Plateau. If you need to go there he is the guy that knows the most and is the expert for this area which includes Carbon and Emery Counties.
"We will go back to how settlements started here in your area and the first explorers that came to Emery County and the San Rafael. First we need to talk about the Indians. We have some of the few images that have been preserved of the native Americans in Utah. Most were never photographed or died before they had a chance to be photographed. Most of the Indians died of disease. Unfortunately they didn't die in combat or a conflict. They died of small pox, measles or common Western diseases. Chief Walker, the most famous of them all, is not known from any photograph, but from two drawings. Walker was by far the greatest of the chiefs.
"How do you get to be chief in the Indian world? Well it was by accomplishments. You had to be good at what you do. What did the Utes do? They robbed and stole really, really well. Walker was by far the best mountain pirate of any Indian in the first half of the 1800s. That was Walker's job that was how he made his living. He didn't see anything wrong with it. So we shouldn't see anything wrong with it. He went as far as San Louis Obispo, Calif. where he stole horses, cattle and Indian children from weaker tribes. He took them all the way to New Mexico where he sold them in Santa Fe, Albuquerque or Taos. Walker went back and forth as many times as he possibly could making money on both ends of the transaction. He took blankets, arms and goods from New Mexico and sold them all the way back. He grew very rich and very powerful and all the other Native American sub chiefs looked up to him and followed him. As Chief Walker and his caravan went back and forth they crossed over a series of trails in central Utah, or the Ute Kingdom or tribal lands. This was sandwiched in between all the other Indian tribes. The Shoshone were their close kin, the Cheyenne, the Arapaho, the Navajo extremely powerful and wealthy, the Paiute were very poor," said Blanchard.

These are too sexy-if there is such a thing! I got so many complements on these, and so many "looks"- if you know what I mean!? I dont agree with someone below stating something about being tall and height of the heels, I am 5'9" and I rocked these! They are unbelievably comfortable-I MC-ed fundraiser from 8PM to 2AM, without sitting down, and I was totally FINE-in many ways! :) December 17, 2012
Love!!! Just got these in the mail and they're everything I expected. A little bummed that the matieral is not real suade BUT I knew that from the beginning. The quality is great, Def THIGH HIGH and sexy as can be. November 28, 2012
Sky high, but so comfortable ! The bf bought me these as a surprise because he saw me eyeing them a few days back. I absolutely adore these. Be warned, suede is not for the clumsy. I had to be extra careful because I'm prone to accidents. The only thing that bugged me at first, was that it wasn't as tight on my thighs as I had hoped. However, they're so gorgeous on, this tid bit was forgotten ten minutes later. They're high, but extremely comfortable. I rocked them for 5 hours easily. (: November 26, 2012
Je t'aime I am in completely awe with these boots. They're utterly elegant and sexy. I haven't experienced any problems with them yet. Heads up ladies, suede is one of the hardest materials to take care of. Be extremely careful with these babies. November 7, 2012
Sexiest thigh High! Great boot,super sexy! The only tiff I have with it is that they fall down quite often.I wear leg warmers to keep them up. November 4, 2012

In a major breakthrough for the United Mine Workers of America organizing battle at the Co-Op mine in Huntington, the UMWA has received a draft settlement from the National Labor Relations Board that orders C.W. Mining Co. to reinstate all of the 75 miners who were illegally fired last September. With most of the Co-Op strikers back to work before mid-July, the chances increase that the UMWA will win the NLRB-mandated union election that will be held sometime in August, workers reported.
On Sept. 22, 2003, 75 coal miners were fired from their jobs at the Co-Op mine, owned by C.W. Mining. They were fired because they had contacted the UMWA about getting a union organized at the mine. The miners were paid between $5.25 and $7.00 an hour with no benefits.
A company union has existed at the mine for many years. All of the officers of this "union" are bosses and are related to the Kingstons, the wealthy family that owns the mine. The strikers report that the settlement agreement from the NLRB clearly states that any type of intimidation or harassment of pro-union miners by the Co-Op management is illegal. The document states that the agreement must be visibly posted at the mine for 60 days.
This is important because this is what led to the wholesale firings last September, workers say. Prior to that date, the miners had been talking to UMWA organizers about how to get a real union organized at the mine. Bosses began harassing and suspending the miners for this activity.
The NLRB made the decision after nine months of the workers being on strike that has kept winning broader support in the labor movement throughout the country. The miners also reported that the draft settlement includes a back pay order, the exact details of which are being negotiated and may be settled in court. The miners have until July 6 to let Co-Op know who is returning to work and they will be back to work on July 12. Beginning July 20 there will be hearings in Price, to determine who is eligible to vote in a union election that will be held sometime in August. The Co-Op miners and their supporters from the labor movement and other organizations. will be meeting on July 6 at 10a.m. at Huntington Park, in Huntington. On that day the miners will be informing the Co-Op mine they will return to work There will be a celebration of this victory at the town hall in Huntington at noon.

PAWTUCKET – Toy and game maker
My Little Pony toys are plastic ponies with long manes and tails, mainly marketed towards young girls and have earned a cult following well outside its target age group.
When the game developers received the notice from Hasbro, they said they "initially dismissed this as it was most likely submitted by some trolls," the developers said, adding that they soon found the complaint was "very real," Bloomberg News reported.
According to the game developers, under U.S. trademark law, Hasbro has to defend its trademarks or risk losing them.
The developers found no way to work around the trademark issue and suspended further development of the game. •

Her Santa Barbara, Calif., house "wasn't very true to myself," the media mogul writes.
For a woman who loves books, who'd have guessed that Oprah Winfrey would have a library that was more museum than cozy reading nook?
It's just one of the reasons the media mogul is redesigning her Santa Barbara, Calif., home. And she's giving fans a rare peek into her house as it was in the March issue of O.
"The gilded mirrors, marble urns, the lavish carpets and sherbet palette – it was all very grand, but it wasn't very true to myself," she writes. "And there you have it: the thing that had been missing from all of the beautiful places I'd ever lived in was me!"
"Maya Angelou once told me you can become either an old female or a wise woman," she adds. "All I can tell you is that I'm evolving, my taste is, too, and someday soon this room will represent the person I've become":
Winfrey is working with designer Rose Tarlow. "You will not have to put on heels just to walk into this house," Tarlow says in the issue. "Oprah is very elegant and sophisticated, but she is also warm and playful. She likes to put her feet up. One of the redo's key goals is a living room that can actually be lived in."
Winfrey has a sense of humor about that cold library: "It's not easy to do an entire library that says, Do not touch the books, but somehow I managed," she writes. "Words are precious to me, so I'm looking for ways to incorporate my love of them into every room in my home."
Readers will have to stay tuned for how the three-month project turns out: After photos will be unveiled early this summer.
