By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
In 2004, the question of whether Emery County should open its roads to off highway vehicles was raised. In response to that issue, the Public Lands Council formed an access subcommittee and studied the issue of OHVs on county roads.
Each class B road in the county system was scrutinized for the quality of the road, the amount of traffic, and its usefulness in allowing OHVs access to ingress and egress from the cities to the trails on the forest service and Bureau of Land Management lands. In all, the plan contains 1,051 roads, trails, and road segments that Emery County maintains. These roads and trails were designated as paved, unpaved or native roads. The access committee met throughout the year and came to a decision on every county road, with the exception of three roads.
This subcommittee's decisions and maps were then sent to the Emery County Commissioners for the final decision. Following a review by the commissioners, the plan still remained undecided due to the issue of the three roads in question. The commissioners formed a safety committee for further study into the matter of safety issues surrounding OHV use of county roads.
During their first meeting, safety committee members Sheriff Lamar Guymon, Public Lands Director Ray Petersen, Attorney David Blackwell, Orangeville Councilman Randall Stilson, Emery County Road Supervisor Rex Funk and Morris Sorensen, began by reviewing the findings of the access committee. The draft ordinance that the access committee had developed was read. The six section draft ordinance defines and designates roads, makes provisions for OHV use, makes exceptions for OHV use, considers OHV registration, required equipment, and penalties for violations of the ordinance.
Petersen stated that whatever ordinance is adopted, if indeed an ordinance is accepted, it must conform to existing state law. Current state statute reads: UC 41-22-10.1 Vehicles operated on public land. 1-Currently registered off highway vehicles may be operated on public land, trails, streets, or highways that are posted by sign or designated by map or description by the controlling federal, state, county, or city agency, as open to off highway vehicle use.
UC 41-22-10.4 Vehicles-Local Ordinances. 1-A municipality or county may adopt ordinances designating certain streets and highways as off highway vehicle routes for the specific purpose of allowing off highway vehicle operators to gain direct access to or from a private or public area open for off highway vehicle use. 2. These routes may not be along, across, or within the boundaries of an interstate freeway or limited access highway. 3. A person may not operate an off highway vehicle on any street or highway for any other purpose than to gain direct access to or from a private or public area open for off highway vehicle use.
The cities in Emery County must also conform to section two of the draft ordinance. This section deals with definition of an OHV and designation of Emery County roads. "Our purpose is to review each road with regards to safety. Our findings are recommendations to the county commissioners," said Petersen.
Sheriff Guymon stated that several of the cities in the county already have ordinances of their own and those ordinances are allowing OHV riders to use every road in the city. In the initial discussions of OHV use, the purpose of designation of roads was to allow ingress and egress to trails outside of the cities only.
Sorensen asked if the OHVs are required to have liability insurance in the event of an accident. The answer was no, but Sheriff Guymon stated that whoever is at fault is liable for the damages. If an OHV rider is at fault, that rider is responsible for the cost of the damage. Blackwell stated that some homeowner insurance may cover the cost, but that is up to each insurance company. Sheriff Guymon said, "The bottom line is that whoever is at fault in the accident, whether the vehicle has liability insurance or not, will be held responsible for the damages."
Another question was the age of the riders. According to Utah State Law, if a child 8-15 years of age has had the OHV training, that child can drive an OHV. In the event of an accident involving a child of that age group, the parents of the child will be held liable for the damages.
Sheriff Guymon questioned the circumstances surrounding the three roads that could not be agreed upon by the access subcommittee. Those roads were Bott Lane in Castle Dale, Canyon Road in Ferron, and the Buckhorn Draw Road in the San Rafael Swell. Petersen explained that the high impact on those roads of full sized vehicles made it impossible for the access subcommittee to come to an agreement. Some members of the access subcommittee felt that the high number of cars and trucks on those roads made the conditions very unsafe. As a result, the committee was unable to reach a decision concerning those three roads.
Petersen added, "Day in and day out, Bott Lane is the busiest county road with the highest vehicle count. Also, Bott Lane has a pedestrian walking lane and if OHVs are added to that mix, there is just not enough room." The consensus was that with Castle Dale's location, surrounded by state highways, there was no way to allow ingress and egress for Castle Dale to state lands.
Another aspect of OHV use on county roads that the safety committee discussed was the hours that OHVs would be able to use the roads. Some committee members felt that OHV use should be restricted to daytime use only. Others felt that the OHVs are equipped with lights and their use should be allowed during nighttime hours.
Distances to recreation areas was then discussed. It was stated that the prime riding areas are a number of miles from the towns. One comment was that it would be more efficient to trailer OHVs to riding areas than to ride them from the towns. Another question raised concerned enforcement of an ordinance, if one is accepted. Why designate roads when people are using them now, and will that change if roads are designated? What about enforcement?
Sheriff Guymon said, "These are a few of the things that we will have to look at through this process. If the users do not take responsibility to obey the rules, they are going to lose the use. People need to use the resource responsibly and comply with the rules or the entire system will be closed."
Each member of the safety committee agreed to study the list and maps and visit the roads. At their next meeting, which will be held on Feb. 1, they will discuss and come to decisions on each road. Following their decisions on the OHV travel plan for the county roads, a public hearing will be held.

Run around the infinite, ever changing corridors of the Neon Dunjun, gathering flowers and shooting everything. ZAP!
Grab the key to the next floor.. try not to let monsters take it off you. Once you've picked all the flowers, the doorway shall appear.. Grind the walls for a speed boost and the power of squishing! The edges of the maze wrap around - do try not to shoot yourself in the back.
The key to getting MASSIVE POINTS is chaining. Collect things in unbroken chains for way higher scores.
- The total score for a chain of flowers rises exponentially with each flower picked.. (e.g., 1 flower = 1 point. 10 flower chain = 100 points. 100 flower chain = 10,000 points!).. as soon as you move onto a space with no flower, the chain ends.
- You can also chain monster squishing and food collecting - though the rules for these are slightly different. Experiment!
The key doubles as a handy bullet shield. It's definitely a good idea to get hold of it as early as possible. Unless doing so will break the huuuge flower chain you're in the middle of pulling off..
So yeah! Shoot stuff, squish stuff, pick flowers, collect food. Watch out for THE GHOST.

In the last big deal of Trade Deadline Day, the Washington Capitals brought in a proven scoring winger, but gave up a top prospect in order to get the deal done.
Numbers Game looks at the Capitals deal for Martin Erat.
The Capitals Get: RW Martin Erat and C Michael Latta.
Erat, 31, is a remarkably consistent player (he was one of 17 players to score at least 45 points every year from 2003-2004 through 2011-2012). Like many in Nashville, he has struggled to score this year, logging just four goals and 21 points in 36 games, his lowest points per game since 2002-2003, despite playing 18:55 per game which ranked second among Predators forwards.
A skilled forward, Erat could benefit from a move to a Capitals team that is more offensively-oriented than Nashville, though it seems unlikely that the Capitals would break up their currently-smoking top line of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson. Even so, a spot on the wing with Mike Ribeiro could still be suitable for Erat to make an impact.
Erat had to waive a no-movement clause (he actually requested a trade) in order for the deal to go down and he's still under contract for two more years, at a cap hit of $4.5-million (www.capgeek.com).
Washington has been playing much better lately and have climbed to within two points of the Southeast Division lead. The decision to deal a top prospect for a veteran scorer shows that the Capitals are intent on winning now, perhaps recognizing that the improvement in play from Ovechin and Backstrom could give the Capitals a chance to make some noise in the postseason.
21-year-old Michael Latta is an aggressive checking centre who has 62 points and 284 penalty minutes (accumulating 24 scraps, according to www.hockeyfights.com) in 118 AHL games through his first two pro seasons.
A sturdy young forward, Latta doesn't have big upside, but has a chance to make the league as a checking forward.
The Predators Get: RW Filip Forsberg.
The 11th overall pick in 2012, Forsberg is a highly-touted prospect and a major investment by the Capitals to give up a trade chip of this significance.
An 18-year-old winger who has good size and is a strong skater, Forsberg has some questions about his offensive upside, but his performance this year for Leksands (15 G, 18 A, +11 in 38 GP in Allsvenskan, the second-highest league in Sweden) was promising. He's assuredly an NHLer, but the question remains whether he's going to reach top-line status. If he does, this deal will be play out as a big success for the Predators.
With Erat moving on, there could be more quality ice time for young Nashville forwards like Taylor Beck and Craig Smith.
There isn't an immediate rush for Forsberg to join the Nashville, though he may not be too far away from being ready. Given Nashville's history, it's fair to believe that they won't rush him to the NHL before he is ready to contribute.
Nashville has the same number of points as eighth-place St. Louis in the Western Conference, but has played three more games, so it's understandable that they are willing to look at the long-term view. Moving Erat doesn't automatically abandon hope for this season, but the long-term value of an asset like Forsberg is too enticing for the Predators to ignore, especially when a veteran decides he wants out.

Scarlets survived a spirited performance from Edinburgh as they overcame the Scottish side 14-13 in their PRO12 meeting on Friday.
Scarlets survived a spirited showing from Edinburgh as they overcame the Scottish side 14-13 in their RaboDirect PRO12 meeting in Llanelli on Friday.
With their top-four ambitions at stake, the Welsh region took an early 8-0 lead through Andy Fenby's try and an Aled Thomas penalty.
But the visitors responded through a touchdown from Dougie Fife and five points via the boot of Harry Leonard.
Leonard and Thomas traded three-pointers after the break before Owen Williams' kick gained a vital victory to extend Edinburgh's losing streak to eleven.
The Scottish outfit have endured a dreadful run of form and the hosts took advantage of that lack of confidence and immediately went ahead when a period of pressure ended in Thomas kicking a penalty.
They stretched that advantage when slack defending saw Fenby scythe through the heart of the visitors' rearguard and touch down.
However, to their credit, Edinburgh hit back. Leonard initially reduced the deficit with a three-pointer before his excellent pass sent Fife over unopposed, the stand-off converting.
Although there was no further score until half-time, the away side were impressive in their endeavour and held out the Scarlets' attacks with relative ease.
And they were rewarded four minutes into the second period when their fly-half kicked his second penalty from the tee.
Thomas then moved the hosts to within two points and Fife was sin-binned for a number of team infringements, but substitute Williams initially missed the opportunity to regain the advantage.
The replacement pivot made no mistake thirteen minutes from time and it proved to be the decisive score as the Scarlets held on.
The scorers:
For Scarlets:
Try: Fenby
Pen: Thomas 2, O Williams
For Edinburgh:
Try: Fife
Con: Leonard
Pen: Leonard 2
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 Nic Reynolds, 13 Gareth Maule, 12 Adam Warren, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Aled Thomas, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Rob McCusker (c), 7 Jonathan Edwards, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Snyman, 4 Jake Ball, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Emyr Phillips, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Rees, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Kieran Murphy, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Owen Williams, 23 Kristian Phillips.
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Dougie Fife, 13 Ben Cairns, 12 Ben Atiga, 11 Lee Jones, 10 Harry Leonard, 9 Richie Rees, 8 David Denton, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Stuart McInally, 5 Sean Cox (c), 4 Perry Parker, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Steven Lawrie, 1 Allan Jacobsen.

The Life Instinct: unification, the eternal return, the perpetuation and MAINTENANCE of the species, survival systems and operations, equilibrium.
– Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Manifesto for Maintenance Art, 1969!
Last May, when I wrote MAINTENANCE #1, I quoted the interview Bartholomew Ryan did with Mierle Laderman Ukeles, for Art In America in 2009. Maintenance, she told him, "is trying to listen to the hum of living. A feeling of being alive, breath to breath." That's still my lodestar for this column.
I write fiction most of the time, at Bookslut I write a reading diary on different themes, and here I write about specific solo publications – the reading I do, and bump into doing, here in Chicago. I write about "the people [the writers, the editors, the publishers] who are taking care and keeping the wheels of society moving." I try to pay attention. Here where Our Scene is so rad and vibrant but also so segregated by neighborhood, schools, tone, etc., this is something we can always fail better at.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
GRAMA cost more than time, effort
The fight over the legislature's attempt to circumvent the Government Records Access and Management Act, and the ultimate repeal of the last minute bill, took a lot of effort on the part of many people. A lot of the credit needs to go to the state media for letting citizens know about this attempt to hide what goes on in our state government, and the consequently building support to come up with a committee to evaluate the present laws and work to modify them for the change in how we get information in the 21st century.
But the fight will go on, even though that particular bill was defeated. There will always be those that want to restrict what gets out to the public, despite the fact it is the citizens right to know about the goings on in their government.
However there is some residual hangover concerning the fight last winter, and not all of it is political. Some of it is financial.
While the grass roots rallied to come to the capitol and let legislators see first hand what the public opposition to the changes were, and people sent thousands of emails and texts to senators and representatives about the way things were headed, behind the scenes lawyers from a number of different law firms toiled to get the bill pulled. They also did valuable legal work for the media and other groups to keep us all on track about what needed to be done. Some also testified at hearings and helped us to lobby for pulling the bill and coming up with more open and reasonable meetings in which to discuss modification of GRAMA that would satisfy everyone.
Many folks from the media donated a lot of time to this cause, and some gave a lot of money, because fighting something like this isn't free. The legal bills racked up by lawyers doing work on the project came in at between $80-100,000. That may sound like a lot, but in reality the law firms that worked on helping the media with the process discounted their costs considerably.
As Utah Press Association president at the time I was in the middle of this and I think they could have charged us at least twice as much for the time spent on it. Out of public service, they felt they needed to be involved, yet they still have a business to run, and staff to pay in doing so. So what they have charged is not unreasonable.
That bill, from last spring, has largely been paid by the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News. They actually came up with more than two thirds of the money to pay for those fees. Other papers also contributed, including your local papers, although our donation was small indeed when compared to the big two. Recently we have been asking community papers to pay a little based on their paid circulation, and a number have responded. Being one of those deeply involved in the process of trying to get the legal team paid, I have great admiration for Dean Singleton, publisher and Nancy Conway, editor of the Tribune and Clark Gilbert publisher, and Rick Hall, editor, of the DNews for committing so much time and money to helping us turn back the tide.
However, what has frustrated me is the attitude of the electronic media in this state, particularly the televisions stations based in Salt Lake City. As of this date, as far as I know, they have not contributed one penny to paying these legal fees. They loved the story, and ran numerous reports about the entire GRAMA bill process, which certainly helped bring grassroots support that aided in repealing the bill. But as soon as the story was done they were "outta there." They made a lot of hay about their part in the repeal, in getting the word out, but many of the newspapers in the state did as much or more, and many of them were able to contribute just a little to the coffers.
The fight over GRAMA is not over. Bills will be introduced over the coming years that will attempt to weaken your right to know and newspapers will be right there fighting to keep that from happening. But just as before, we will need legal help to do it and no one can expect these law firms to just do their work for free. There will be more costs.
People say newspapers are dying; we in the industry know that is not true. We are changing based on market demand, but we are not dying. However, let's say tomorrow all newspapers went away in Utah. The televisions stations would report on the GRAMA legislation that went on when we were gone. But who would pay for the legal costs to make sure things were kept on track so you can know what is going on in your government? The broadcasters?
Obviously, based on their past performance, they wouldn't.

SCHS surfer back from China 3rd in world
She's home from China, listed now as the Association of Surfing Professionals' No. 3 female longboard surfer in the world for 2012. She's only 16.
San Clemente's Karina Rozunko had never tried anything at this level. She flew to China's Hainan Island to compete over Thanksgiving Weekend in the Swatch Girls Pro China, the only event on the 2012 Association of Surfing Professionals women's world longboard tour.
Rozunko, a junior at San Clemente High School, advanced through six rounds of competition and reached the semifinals before falling to Australia's Chelsea Williams, the eventual runner-up to champion Kelia Moniz of Hawaii.
"That was insane!" Rozunko commented this week. "Honestly, I went into that contest with no expectations."
She's back now at San Clemente High School, a member of the surf team, training for the team's state and national tournaments and for a longboard contest at Sayulita, Mexico, that she won last year.
We asked her about surfing in China:
Q. Was it different than surfing at home?Â
A. The water was really warm and only a few people in the water at a timeÂ
Q. We hear you brought home a little itch.
A. The sea lice were horrible! I looked like I had chicken pox. Between the sea lice and mosquito bites, I was pretty itchy. But thankfully a local Chinese man got me some cream to put on them. I'm fine now
Q. Describe the local Chinese people, and the island.
A. The island is beautiful. The people were funny – they don't see many American people, if any at all, and they ask to take pictures and stare. But in general, they were really nice and inviting.
Q. How did you get into the contest?
A. I qualified for the world Championships by placing first in a WLA contest in Ventura last year
Q. How big is your trophy?
 A. My trophy was pretty cool. It was a bronze crown for third place. It wouldn't fit in my suitcase so I wore it on the plane. I got some pretty strange looks from everyone.
Q. You came out of nowhere to place third against veteran pros. How was that?
A. I just trained as hard as I could and I came out with a pretty good result. It was cool surfing against all the girls I have been looking up to ever since I started surfing – and even cooler competing and placing higher than them.
Q. Any shout-outs?
A. I was stoked having one of my good friends, Tory Gilkerson, over there with me. She was surfing amazing the whole event.

Just Get Up and Walk
With a third of children overweight or obese, isn't it time to look for bold solutions? So many places across this country are poorly designed: they encourage sedentary, not active lifestyles. Good design creates opportunities to walk without extra effort as part of our daily lives.
What if we built health-promoting communities, from city centers to suburbs? What would it take?
Scrap Traditional Models of Development
We need a design diet. In order to do this we need to examine traditional models of development and maybe not scrap them, but instead re-imagine the places where we live. Let's not forget that sprawl is a post 1940's model and not a historically immutable concept. What we need are options.
We need to rethink the idea that convenience is measured only in miles of driving in mind-numbing traffic, if you're most of us, from our homes. We need to imagine or just remember from childhood that walking or riding a bike is, in fact, a better way of getting around to many places. We need to focus less on the size of our house and more on the quality of our homes, our families' health, and our social lives. Design makes a difference, and it doesn't have to cost more. Our money just needs to be better spent.

The world is increasingly urbanizing at a scale unprecedented in human history. More than half of us worldwide live in urban areas and this will only grow to 70% by 2050. Young people are more focused on convenience and collaboration than on space and stuff. Study after study finds that Generation Y wants to live in cities and have more options. Robert Shiller of the Case-Shiller Home Price Index has discussed how renting continues to go up and younger adults are moving in to the city. GM has hired MTV to help convince this generation to drive. Times have changed and priorities are shifting.
There is clearly a movement afoot. These changes signify opportunities to create communities in both urban and suburban locales that react to realities. At the same time investments in walkability can help shrink the dollars we spend on healthcare and increase economic growth, with additional retail, restaurants, and services that people want nearby.
Innovative Partnership for Success
We need tested models for healthier metropolitan regions that align with these changes and meet our current challenges. In search of design and policy solutions, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) has joined with MIT's Center for Advanced Urbanism on a Clinton Global Initiative Commitment – The Decade of Design: Health and Urbanism. We are willing to challenge long-held assumptions and focus on evidence-based results to make people healthier through the power of design.
To that end, a graduate course at MIT examines eight metropolitan regions in the U.S. Over the next ten years, the AIA will work with one of them as a laboratory for change – in collaboration with community leaders, local residents, public health officials, the business community, and other partners. This ambitious undertaking seeks to create the transformational change we need in building and retrofitting our communities for health across the country and globally.

Healthier Buildings and Communities are Achievable
"Our bodies, our health, and buildings are forever connected. The links between architecture and well-being are richer than merely avoiding safety from injury; buildings can be, should be, agents of health – physical, mental, and social health. Good buildings and urban plans do precisely that. A bad structure removes daylight, damages air quality, allows water and noise intrusion, and leaves little room for what makes us happy – being with people we enjoy, good and healthy food, pleasing sight lines, and safety and security." - Richard Jackson, MD MPH FAAP, foreword to Local Leaders: Healthier Communities Through Design
We spend a staggering one-fifth of our GDP on healthcare, three-quarters of it on chronic disease. The AIA's report, Local Leaders: Healthier Communities Through Design lays out the current models that are helping to make American communities healthier, but there is so much more we all need to do. It is time to build partnerships that create buildings, neighborhoods, districts, cities, and metropolitan regions that help to stem this tide. Public health departments, architects, home builders, chambers of commerce, Republicans, and Democrats, we are all Americans, and we need to come together to push our economy forward and pull our waistlines in.
Let's all just get up and walk: to the corner store to buy groceries, to work, to lunch, and anywhere close by. Let's walk while we socialize and interact with others. Not only will this walking make us healthier, but it will help us stop and appreciate where we live, travel, and work that much more. The old adage, "stop and smell the roses," is fitting in this instance with our increasingly fast-paced lives. A little bit of walking may help us slow down and enjoy our lives that much more. The short-cut is nice, but the long-cut can be better.
Imagine having more energy and more fun. We can all do this by getting in better shape. Let's focus less on the need to move cars around and more on the need to move people around. Inviting street design, wider sidewalks with street furniture and cafes, streets that are bordered by buildings instead of parking lots, services that allow people to live, work, and have fun in the same neighborhood; these are all things that people want and desire.

Our Wallets and Well-Being
This isn't a utopian fantasy pushed by any type of agenda, left, right, or center: it is an economic and medical reality. These are the types of places that people want and they consistently pay more to live in. In 34 metropolitan markets with an above average Walk Score homes command a premium of between $4,000 and $34,000.
Better design doesn't mean that we need to get rid of single-family homes with lawns where our children can play. But, this model cannot be our only opportunity for the American Dream. Nor should our zip codes determine our life expectancy or opportunities in life. Shouldn't people of all ages, backgrounds, incomes, and lifestyles be able to live in the same thriving communities? We need a mix of housing types that allow for people in all stages of life to live in the same community. This doesn't just make us healthier, it creates more opportunities for businesses to grow and create the jobs that Americans want.
Where to go from here?
Good design can't be an afterthought in the development process. It is the glue that creates great places. These places take many forms, from old established cities to beautifully designed new suburban communities. We need to ensure that holistic, systems level thinking about our buildings, streetscapes, and their complex relationships with each other and us are put first throughout the process. We want to create great places for people to raise families, enjoy their lives, and get up and walk. Everyone deserves good design.

Brooks Rainwater is the American Institute of Architect's director of public policy. He's focused on design centered policy meeting at the key intersection of cities, sustainability, and health. As a strong advocate for sustainability, Brooks frequently speaks and writes on the subject. He is also the lead author of Local Leaders, a national research study that examines green building policy, health and design, and the urban policy environment.
The root of the problem you address is not architectural. It is generational, economic, and (ultimately) societal.
Generationally, the Boomers have been so focused on the myth of self-fulfillment, they have found it easier to tell their children "here's the house key, let yourself in after school, watch a video, get a snack/dinner/supper, and I/we will be home after work. We'll schedule 'quality time' this weekend". No wonder their children are overweight: no family activity = no exercise.
Economically, some families must carry more than one job to maintain a financially stable household. This has been a perennial problem, but is now exacerbated by the fall-out from the on-going recession that started in 2008 due to policies implemented by the 110th & 111th U.S. Congresses. These families, and especially their children, neither have the financial resources to maintain scrupulously healthy diets, nor temporal resources to engage in extra-curricular activities. No wonder these children are overweight: no money or time = no exercise.
Societally, we are now reaping what has been sown in self-absorbed generational and economic policies. Our country's culture fractured along these lines. Further stratification is encouraged by special interest groups and political leadership that encourages self-focus in order to control through division and disinformation. We are encouraged to "celebrate diversity" and "encourage tolerance" instead of focusing on shared concerns that unite people to create community. Instead of caring for each other, we create and encourage modern ghettos and/or societal silos to separate ourselves from each other. The "us vs. them" mentality is wielded as a weapon and society continues to crumble under the onslaught. No wonder our children are overweight: no supportive community = no exercise
Architecture first acts as a mirror of society - it is not created in a vacuum. It is only after architecture exists that it can then influence.

When it debuted
back in 1992, MTV's The Real World was
truly groundbreaking television. Not only did it establish
the template of thrusting disparate strangers together to
live under the camera's unblinking eye, but it
introduced America to something rather unusual for the
time: an out gay man (Norman Korpi) who was
well-adjusted, popular, and upbeat.
Nearly 17 years
later, gays and lesbians are a staple of reality
television. In fact, it's more noticeable if
there's not a queer contingent on shows like
Survivor or Top Chef. So how could could
Bunim-Murray Productions raise the ante for Real
World: Brooklyn, the show's 21st
installment, debuting January 7? By including as cast
members a gay man, a trans woman, a girl who's dated
women exclusively ... until now, and an allegedly
straight virgin who pings the gaydar more than Ryan
Seacrest at a Jonas Brothers concert. Now, instead of
a token gay roommate, the show has LGBTs representing a
formidable faction of the house. But in the age of Lindsay
Lohan and Clay Aiken, will such card-shuffling
reinvigorate the somewhat stale Real World franchise?
Judging from the
first episode, which was sent out to reporters for
screening, it appears Bunim-Murray went back to the
show's New York City roots more than just
geographically. Gone are the hackneyed
"projects" forced on cast members in
recent years (remember when the cast of The Real World:
Las Vegas had to work at Palms Casino?). The
eight roommates (yep, there are eight this time around) are
encouraged to pursue their personal passions in the Big
Apple -- singing, writing, acting, etc. And while
there's sure to be plenty of infighting and
drunken shenanigans, the cast doesn't seem as
desperate for fame (or infamy) as in recent seasons.
Even the location
of the Real World house is something of a
departure -- rather than Brooklyn hipster haven
Williamsburg or stroller-set capital Park Slope, producers
opted for Red Hook, a slowly gentrifying neighborhood
that's still mostly industrial (the arrival of
an IKEA earlier this year made local headlines). The
house itself, a converted two-story warehouse that sits
right on the Brooklyn pier, is to die for:
We're talking about a built-in gym, funky
furniture, bold artwork, and staggering views of New York
Harbor and the Statue of Liberty. Being isolated in a
region practically inaccessible by public
transportation isn't such an issue when you have cars
to shuttle you into Manhattan. So who are the lucky
20-something queers who got to call this pad home for
four months?
J.D. Ordonez, 22,
from Miami Beach, Fla., is perhaps one of TheReal World's most accomplished cast
members. He escaped an abusive family situation and put
himself through college, earning a degree in marine biology
and working as a dolphin trainer at Miami's
Seaquarium at the tender age of 19. "Some
people think I'm arrogant," he confesses in
the first episode, "but I think that's
just because I'm a confident person." As for
why he auditioned for the series, J.D. says he wanted
to be a role model to show young viewers of any
orientation they could achieve their dreams. (His
mantra: "You can be in dirt, but you don't
have to be dirty.")
Judging from
early scenes, J.D.'s homosexuality appears to be a
nonissue: "I didn't hide it," he
said at a recent press meet-and-greet at the house,
"but I didn't broadcast it either. It came up
in conversation and it was no big deal." Of
course, volunteering at the The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
& Transgender Community Center and joining his
housemates at straight clubs like Angels & Kings
didn't give the single hottie much time for
dating. (He swears there's "no
validity" to the Internet rumors he was hooking
up with a certain silver-haired cable news anchor.)
If J.D.
doesn't exactly rock the Real World
boat, housemate Katelynn Cusanelli, the show's first trans
housemate, is bound to at least make a few waves.
Raised in a religious Italian family in West Palm
Beach, she began identifying as female in high school. This
July she had gender-reassignment surgery in Thailand, and
she entered the house just three weeks after leaving
the hospital.
"I was
still in stitches when I arrived," says Katelynn, who
left a boyfriend back home to join the cast.
"But my doctor said I was doing really well and
that it was important for me to get around."
But why thrust
herself into the spotlight after just completing her
transition to womanhood?
"I knew
it'd be a stressful situation, but I realized I could
be a voice for the community," she explains.
"There have been other trans women on reality
shows -- Isis from America's Next Top
Model and LaVerne on [I Want to Work for]
Diddy. But they were competing for a prize;
their being trans was secondary. This was a way for America
to see someone like me just being myself."
doesn't mean Katelynn, 24, falls into any
stereotypes: Somewhat shy, she's an admitted
computer whiz and aspiring writer who just happens to
have a black belt in tae kwon do. Her arrival sparks
whispers among some of the male housemates, but she
seems to be accepted early on by the girls (though
only time will tell).
"It was
definitely a nonissue for me," says Devyn, a teen
pageant winner who shared a room with Katelynn during
filming. "The only tension was when it was
being tiptoed around like a big secret. I was one of the
last to know. But I see Katelynn as the person she is
-- gender doesn't affect character."
One housemate who
might ruffle gay feathers is Sarah Rice, a 22-year-old
artist who hails from the queer mecca of San Francisco. Her
current boyfriend is the first man Sarah's
dated -- until now, most of her relationships have
been with women. Though she considers herself part of
the LGBT community, heavily tattooed Sarah eschews labels,
coyly identifying as "none of the
"I fall in
love with people I have a strong emotional connection
with," she says. "It just happens that
I'm in a straight relationship now."
She felt a
certain kinship with J.D. and Katelynn but admits there was
no "Team Rainbow" in the household:
[queer] is part of what we are, and we support each other in
that way, but it doesn't define us. It was
harder to come out to my lesbian friends as being with
a guy than it was coming out in the first place,"
Sarah says. Like J.D. and Katelynn, Sarah also volunteered
at the Gay Center, leading art therapy classes for
people who, like her, are survivors of sexual
abuse. She admits leaving her beau on the other side
of the country was hard but says she wasn't tempted
by her fetching housemates or the New York singles
scene: "If it's true love, you can keep it in your
pants for four months."
The remaining
five housemates are ostensibly straight, though mostly not
narrow. (Iraq war vet Ryan, 23, might have the toughest
time adjusting to his diverse household.) And there
are a few question marks, most notably Chet, a devout
Mormon who exhibits classic metrosexual tendencies --
like getting a manicure and commenting on his male
roommates' attractiveness. In the first episode, we
see at least one cast member questioning his
sexuality, and J.D. reveals he got Chet to dance in
the spotlight at raunchy gay dance club Splash. Then
there's Scott, a fitness model-personal trainer
with abs for days.
OK, so that one
might be wishful thinking.
We'll have
to wait for the season unfold to see if sexuality becomes a
major issue in the house, but viewers will be able to check
out unedited and uncensored clips online at The Real World Dailies website.
Adding a level of
transparency, Real World executive producer Jim
Johnston will also write a weekly blog covering much
of the behind-the-scenes action. We could be looking at more
of the same from the long-running series, or this
could very well be the realest Real World in
years. Tune in and find out.

Bought these for my husband
"I bought these for my husband because he needed new athletic shoes (again) as he goes through athletic shoes like water. However, he loves these and says they are so comfortable that he doesn't need to use insole cushions for extra support. He has had them since January 2013, and it is now June 2013, and the shoes are still in good shape even after being put in the washing machine and dryer (only did that once). He runs and exercises in them everyday. I am planning to purchase another pair for him so he can have a back up when these wear out or if they stop selling them. We do recommend!"

Expensive, but good
"I do a bit of trail running in southern california so I when I saw there was a category of running shoe that covered it, I decided to give it a try. I also wanted a good-looking shoe and most running shoes aren't, in my opinion. So these were a nice change of pace. Seem to be made of good material too. Very comfortable. Recommend if you are willing to shell out some cash for a decent pair of running shoes."

Canucks fans explained
Graphic Comments
May 15 2012 02:55PM
If this doesn't perfectly sum up the essence of Canucks' nation, I don't know what does.
Top tier goalie on a team that has in the past resorted to Toronto Maple Leafs cast-offs? Boooooooo.
Coach takes you to top of the league two years in a row, and within one win of the Cup? #fireAV.
Selke winning centre hampered by a pretty serious injury? Trade him!
Yup, that's about as irrational as you can get. But again, I take no credit for the idea. It is one of the two things I learned listening to our very own Thomas Drance on the Nation Radio podcast this week. The other one is that Thom is a very nice young man. Seriously.
Thom's point on the show was that forty-two years of futility will breed a certain amount of desperation in a fanbase, and that leads to irrationality. Based on the comments I've seen in the last two months, the most egregious of which are paraphrased above, I couldn't agree more. And I don't even listen to the local sports radio call-in shows!
The beauty of the statement is its simplicity. This town is hockey mad, and really just wants to win. But let's not kid ourselves, the same is true around the league. Granted, the degree to which it is true varies.
Ellen Etchingham posted a piece on Kovalchuk that in one elegant sentence captured the essence of NHL hockey: "Hockey respects skill and it treasures toughness, but it loves only winning."
So yes, Canucks fans have been deprived of that outlet for so long that the desperation is breeding irrationality at a fevered pace.
But I have to say, I still prefer that, to living somewhere where this could happen:
No comment.
Finally, it appears that "shot blocking" is the latest scourge to ravage the NHL playoffs. So much so, that the New Jersey Devils have threatened to deploy the "shoot for the face" strategy:
Or maybe Shanahan can just give out a 25 game suspension to the next guy that blocks a shot...

Right now the Canucks bandwagon. Many of those bandwagoners will become full fledged fans and will never jump off. However, many are just in it for the ride. I've converted at least one bandwagoner this season and will do my part to convert more next year. With that being said, check out this awesome video. Remember we are all Canucks!

The Four Elements Test
Their result for The Four Elements Test ...
Earth Personality
Stability, Compassion, and Practicality
With the element of Earth as your dominant nature, you belong to the most common elemental family. You are a calm and thoughtful person, characterized by your consistency, loyalty, and concern for others. You are dependable, punctual, and can remain stable even during the worst of conflicts. Throughout the day, you would rather set goals or practice routines (whether it's your morning ritual or your consistency when dating different people). Other traits of the Earth element include practicality, objectivity, and a cool confidence. Professions such as accountants, security officers, emergency medical technicians, nurses, planners, and even homemakers exemplify what it means to have the Earth Personality, though you are not limited to these fields. You will bring order and careful consideration to whichever profession you choose.
Earth Personalities are the ultimate team player, and derive pleasure from the fulfillment of their obligations or taking care of those they love. Though they enjoy group activities, they cherish their one-on-one connections. Whether they know it or not, making others feel comfortable can bring much happiness to an Earth Personality, and commitment in a relationship is ideal. Being a logical element, they tend towards tradition and convention because these provide security for themselves and loved ones. Earth elements should be careful, however, not to become too consumed in their concern for others, as they may find themselves giving too much without caring for themselves. Also, they might miss out on wonderful, new opportunities due to the fact that an extreme commitment to tradition can lead to close-mindedness.
Consider doing something solely for your immediate enjoyment once in a while. Be spontaneous! Do something that might make you look like a fool and then shrug it off as a thing of the past. Also, try thinking of a hobby you used to enjoy just for the pleasure of it. Remember: not everything has to be a means to an end. Explore a little. Most importantly, be good to yourself, Earth Personality. After all, you'll be better at taking care of others, if you can care for yourself.
All in all, you are an asset to the planet as the Earth Personality. Continue to be the friendly, faithful, and strong person that you are. The planet needs your stability to keep the other wild elements in balance.

Israel accepts the word of the Lord by covenant—Moses sprinkles the blood of the covenant—He, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel see God—The Lord calls Moses on to the mount to receive the tables of stone and commandments.
