It happens to the best of us. We trip, we fall, we have kids, we gain and lose weight, we don't always shop for the best-fitting jeans because we're blinded by a brand on sale, etc… shopping for denim and building a relationship with your favorite pair of jeans is no low-maintenance task. There are a myriad of things that can go wrong along the way, but rather than giving up on them, why not let us bring them back to life?
It requires lots of love (and sometimes therapy) to keep your favorite jeans in good shape, but if you commit, they'll be with you through the years. Scroll down our top 5 list of reasons you might need a little Denim Therapy of your own.
It's true. You're too hot to handle! If your jeans are ripped and torn in the crotch, knees, or anywhere else you might experience an intense amount of friction throughout the day, you can trust us to restore them as closely as possible to their former glory.

We can repair an existing denim hem or adjust to make a new one. A hem can wear thin and create a tear or hole. We can repair that, no problem.
Step lively, denim-addicts. Hem your jeans now!
While you may be jumping for joy at the thought of a new tot on the way, your jeans are struggling to keep up with your maternity waistline. Instead of ditching your favorite denim for 9 months and buying maternity clothing, why not let us adjust your jeans so you can keep wearing them?
Here's how it works: You pick your own favorite figure enhancing jeans. Denim Therapy will work their magic by inserting expandable side seams to move and grow with you! Once you've brought yourself back to your pre-maternity figure, Denim Therapy will restore your jeans back..

While the fit process is very specific, we've developed a system for you to use so you can mark your jeans and mail them in to be adjusted without ever having to see one of our staff for a fitting.

Marc Stilson from the Utah State Division of Water Rights reported to the Emery County Public Lands council there hasn't been a decision made for the point of diversion change on the water for Blue Castle Holdings. They are the company involved with the development of the proposed nuclear power plant near Green River. The decision has been under consideration for some time and Stilson said he expects a decision to come hopefully by sometime in February. One of the obstacles he talked about was the endangered fish in the Green River downstream of Flaming Gorge dam. The Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program developed flow and temperature recommendations to maintain adequate flows for four of the endangered species that call the Green River home including the bonytail, humpback chub, Colorado pike minnow, and the razorback sucker.
The spring peak flow magnitude was listed in wet years, moderately wet, average, moderately dry and dry and targets were set between 39,000 cfs in a wet year to 8,300 cfs in a dry year. In dry years, the low flow target is 1,300 cfs at Green River. The higher flows should be maintained for at least two weeks was the recommendation. Last spring when the flooding occurred on the Green River, flows were more than 47,000 cfs for several weeks.
Stilson said the concern, raised in protests to the project, is whether the flows can be maintained to sustain the endangered fish when the water is taken out of the river for use at the nuclear power plant.
Stilson talked about the possibility that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could issue a jeopardy determination which may shut down all additional water developments to make sure there is protection for the fish if it was determined that flows were too low. In this case a release of water would need to occur at Flaming Gorge dam. The question was raised of who the water belongs to that would be released to sustain these fish. Stilson said the endangered fish recovery is working with Flaming Gorge Reservoir to make water available.
If the water development project is less than 100 acre feet, there isn't a fee. Bigger projects of more than 4,500 acre feet need a more extensive approval process.
There was some question as to whether the fish liked higher flows or lower flows. According to the report the lower water temperatures at higher base flows in the wettest years may reduce growth and survival of young endangered fish. The higher water temperatures at lower base flows will enhance growth and survival of young endangered fish, particularly Colorado pike minnow and humpback chubs.
Stilson said it's best to keep a steady base flow. He said there have been some years where the Green River has fallen below the minimum flow target to keep the endangered species healthy. Stilson said one idea being proposed is to have a block of water in Flaming Gorge to regulate those low flow periods.
Gary Petty, council vice-chairman asked where the water rights for the nuclear project are coming from. Stilson said Blue Castle Holdings has secured water from San Juan County and also Kane County where coal fired power plants weren't built and the water is available from those sources. The water for the power plant is listed at 53,600 acre feet per year with a flow of 70 cfs year round. Stilson said the water to be used is similar in flow volume to the water that comes off the Green River into the Green River canal for irrigation.
Mike McCandless is the Emery County Economic Development Director, he has been working with Blue Castle Holdings to bring the nuclear power plant to Green River City. He wants everyone to know this is not a massive amount of water. It's similar to any large canal in use in Emery County. Utah citizens own the water, the State regulates the use of water, if they say no to this project then it will have a great impact on water not put to beneficial use in the upper Colorado river drainage. There are other large water users who in the future may try to get projects approved.
Sherrel Ward, board member wondered if the endangered species could stop the project. Stilson said to ask that question next month.
In Green River 4,381,000 acre feet of water flows by each year, of that, 67,000 acre feet is depleted along the main stem of the Green. If the rest of Utah's allocation in the Colorado River compact were developed on the Green River there would be around 200,000 acre feet of additional depletion. On the entire Colorado River there is currently an estimated 1.1 million acre feet of actual depletion. The water the nuclear power plant has leased for use is included in the water rights approved for use, but not developed or put to use. Stilson said, "There are a lot of approved applications that have not been put to use. One of the questions addressed in reviewing the Blue Castle Holdings application is whether or not the Colorado River has been overappropriated." The state engineers office doesn't receive a lot of big applications like the one from Blue Castle Holdings. The application was protested by environmental groups. Stilson said they have had to review each criteria on a step by step basis. The endangered fish was just one issue looked at and another was water supply. The application has been with the state engineers office since 2009 where these reviews have been taking place.
Stilson said there are some good studies out there and with 100 years of record keeping the average flow of the Green River is 15 million acre feet. Paleo historic data has shown 30 year drought periods.
Ray Petersen, public lands director said when he attended the Colorado River water users convention in Las Vegas there were many people there who don't live in the rural areas, "There are a lot of people interested in our water," he said.
The San Rafael River is also a target for three other fish not on the list. There are ongoing projects there to keep these additional fish from being listed. Petersen said the endangered species act is very powerful.
Val Payne, public lands consultant said Ray brought up a very real concern with the outside people being interested in our water. Las Vegas and California continue to become more thirsty and keep their eyes on our water. The Bureau of Reclamation is conducting a study which will be out this summer, but Payne said none of the universities and groups involved in the study are from Utah and this is a cause for concern. Who will look out for Utah's interests. Payne wondered what Utah is doing to protect the state's water.
Stilson agreed there should be more rural interests represented in Colorado River issues.
He said there has been some success in the recovery of the endangered fish species in the Colorado.

From the NYC II® Collection. Made in India. Gemstones will vary in color or patterns. Please allow for these natural variations. All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors . The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds . The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.

Stuck in the slow lane
Jean Lefebvre
January 16 2010 10:51AM
The hockey fan in his all his glory has many levels of panic.
Those with weaker constitutions are liable to go into a tizzy if their heroes come up empty on back-to-back power plays. Others have enough iron in their gizzards to wait for an actual loss before the caterwauling commences.
This current situation for the Calgary Flames, however, is approaching the genuine crisis-of-faith stage.
It's never easy to determine when a sample size of results becomes large enough to warrant the rounding of up of torches and pitchforks, but it's safe to say you can add at least a fortnight from the moment the typical fan is ready to come unglued. That said, this ongoing Flames lack-of-scoring situation is now reaching a point where even the most composed of supporters must be kept away from sharp objects.
In case you missed the graphics during your friendly neighbourhood Sportsnet telecast, the Calgary offence has dried up since the start of December. We're talking 42 goals in 22 games, which means Fiona from Carstairs, Lola from Medicine Hat, Farley from North Battleford and a whole bunch of other card swipers have missed out on their 15 minutes of Safeway Score & Win fame.
In case you've been skipping your remedial math classes, 22 games represents more than a quarter of an 82-date National Hockey League season so you're exempt from accusations of rushing to judgment if you dare suggest the lads in red are having a wee bit of an issue with twine-bulging. Trouble is, the in-season sample size of the Flames actually knowing what to do with that little black thing is even larger -- 81 goals in the first 26 games -- so we're also inclined to forgive those who are determined to believe happier days are ahead.
Calgarypuck's D'Arcy McGrath, the antithesis of the Chicken Little fan, recently whipped up a bunch of fancy graphs that either prove the Flames have been mighty unlucky as of late (this was before Friday's clunker against the Mighty Predators of Tennessee) or that you're overdue for your next appointment with the cardiologist.
McGrath's point is well taken and there indeed seems to be an inordinate number of posts and trickle-wides and flutter-overs and other missed-it-by-that-much moments for the Flames attack. At the same time, when every guy taking up residency in the opposite crease becomes Marc-Andre Sawchuk, Roberto Dryden and Pekka Esposito, shooters can't help but wonder if they'll ever get back in the groove no matter how much rubber they direct at the net.
Besides, it's just not a healthy state of affairs when half of the amateur solutions to the club's offensive woes involve finding a way to keep 29-year-old journeyman Jamie Lundmark, he of the 91 career points in 270 games over six seasons, in the NHL on a full-time basis.

Milorganite is the ideal choice for "Organic Option" programs frequently offered by professional lawn care and landscape operators, providing the best value of any organic fertilizer on the market. It won't burn turf, and is so versatile that it can be used wherever customers need fertilizer. Produced and sold since 1926, Milorganite delivers the results customers demand.
Fertilize 4 times per year Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass
Instructions:Apply last application as late in the season as possible before the first deep freeze or snow fall. This fertilizer application is known as dormant feeding. Fertilizing this late in the season will allow for an early spring green up.
*For earlier spring green-up, apply 1 ½ lbs. Milorganite organic nitrogen per 1,000-sq. ft. in late November or December. Apply before ground freezes.
Fertilize 3 times per year Bermuda, St. Augustine, Centipedegrass, Bahia, & Zoysia
Instructions:Avoid nitrogen applications to warm-season grasses in the fall less than one month prior to dormancy or the average first killing frost date in your area. Several additional fertilizations can be made for winter overseedings, but only as needed to keep the overseeding green. Centipedegrass and Bahia grass prefer spring and summer feedings. Avoid late fall fertilization of these species to prevent possible winter kill.

(December 05) Tonight we're celebrating . . . Saint Nicholas Eve
Saint Nicholas Eve
Sinterklaas (also called Sint-Nicolaas or De Goedheiligman in Dutch (and Saint Nicolas in French) is a traditional Winter holiday figure in the Netherlands, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles and Belgium, celebrated every year on Saint Nicholas' eve (December 5) or, in Belgium, on the morning of December 6. The feast celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of, among other things, children.
It is also celebrated in parts of France (North, Alsace, Lorraine), as well as in Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and in the town of Trieste and in Eastern Friuli in Italy. Additionally, many Roman Catholics of Alsatian and Lotharingian descent in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, celebrate "Saint Nicholas Day" on the morning of December 6. The traditions differ from country to country, even between Belgium and the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, Saint Nicholas' Eve (December 5) is the chief occasion for gift-giving. The evening is called "sinterklaasavond" or "pakjesavond" ("presents evening"). In the Netherlands, children receive their presents on this evening whereas in Belgium, children put their shoe in front of the fireplace on the evening of December 5, then go to bed, and find the presents around the shoes on the morning of the 6th.
Sinterklaas is the basis for the North American figure of Santa Claus. It is often claimed that during the American War of Independence the inhabitants of New York City, a former Dutch colonial town (New Amsterdam) which had been swapped by the Dutch for other territories, reinvented their Sinterklaas tradition, as Saint Nicholas was a symbol of the city's non-English past.[1] The name Santa Claus supposedly derived from older Dutch Sinte Klaas. However, the Saint Nicholas Society was not founded until 1835, almost half a century after the end of the American War of Independence.[2] A study of the "children's books, periodicals and journals" of New Amsterdam by Charles Jones revealed no references to Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas.[3] However, not all scholars agree with Jones's findings, which he reiterated in a booklength study in 1978;[4] Howard G. Hageman, of New Brunswick Theological Seminary, maintains that the tradition of celebrating Sinterklaas in New York existed in the early settlement of the Hudson Valley, although he agrees that "there can be no question that by the time the revival of St. Nicholas came with Washington Irving, the traditional New Netherlands observance had completely disappeared."[5] The Saint Nicholas Society of New York still has a feast on December 6 to this day

The Bulls got their overseas tour off to the perfect start after beating the Blues 28-21 in Auckland on Sunday.
The Bulls got their overseas tour off to the perfect start after beating the Blues 28-21 in Auckland on Sunday.
It was the first ever victory for the South African side at Eden Park, where the visitors outscored their previously unbeaten hosts three tries to two.
Tries from flanker Arno Botha as well as wingers Lionel Mapoe and Akona Ndungane combined with 13 points from Morne Steyn's boot moved the Bulls to the top of the South African conference.
Blues coach John Kirwan named a much-changed side, including six new caps, for the match after his team had unexpectedly won its first two matches. The tactic failed and the Blues were outplayed by the Bulls who played a fast-paced style in warm, dry conditions.
The Blues briefly snatched the lead in the second half, before Botha's try put his team back in front.
Rene Ranger gave the Blues a glimmer of hope when he powered over to close the gap to one point with four minutes remaining. But the Bulls rallied to win with a Steyn penalty on full-time sealing the deal.
"It was a great team effort, it's not easy to come here and win," said Bulls skipper Pierre Spies.
"In the second half we felt we just had to be clinical and that's what it was, a clinical performance."
The Blues took the early lead with a penalty by fly-half Baden Kerr, but Steyn soon levelled matters with a penalty of his own.
Kerr then hooked a penalty attempt before slotting another soon after to give his side the lead for the second time, but the next quarter belonged to the Bulls.
First Mapoe rounded off a great movement by his inside backs and when the Blues dropped another tactical bomb soon after, Ndungane stepped inside his man to round off a very convincing half for the Bulls – playing in their alternate pink strip.
The Blues came out firing in the second half and raced back into the lead following a penalty by Kerr and a converted try by Charles Piutua.
The Bulls responded magnificently and after some impressive play by their pack, Botha exploited some space to score his first of the year.
Steyn, who fluffed his lines twice in the first half, kicked the conversion and another penalty to ease the Bulls back into a defendable lead.
Ranger's late try had the Blues within four with as many minutes to play, but Steyn kicked another penalty on the buzzer to have his team's hands in the air and that of the Blues on their knees.
The scorers:
For Blues:
Tries: Piutau, Ranger
Con: Kerr
Pens: Kerr 3
For Bulls:
Tries: Mapoe, Ndungane, Botha
Cons: Steyn 2
Pens: Steyn 3
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Frank Halai, 13 Rene Ranger, 12 Francis Saili, 11 Waisake Naholo, 10 Baden Kerr, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Steven Luatua, 7 Luke Braid, 6 Kane Barrett, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 Quentin MacDonald, 1 Tim Perry.
Replacements: 16 James Parsons, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Ronald Raaymakers, 19 Brendon O'Connor, 20 Jamison Gibson-Park, 21 Marty McKenzie, 22 Albert Nikoro.

a few tips:1) power it up for the first time through a 100ohm resistor, and measure the voltage over that resistor: this assures you if there is short.2) you need to make sure that the dc working points are correct. Measure voltage on Q1's b / c, Q2's b/e/c, Q3's b/e. and compare them to what you expect. For example, Q1's b should be about 0.7v, Q2's b should float with RV2, etc.3) if you have a scope, it would be helpful but get the dc working points and report back.
1) no idea what "led" you are talking about.2) the voltage I was talking about was the respective points vs. ground.
You need to raise RV2's wiper so that Q2's vbe goes towards 0.6-0.7v and Q3's base goes above 0.7v.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem..big problem. Last Night our water heat quit working all together,it's not running at all,and is leaking a good bit from top and bottom,more from the top. Today being Sunday,we were unable to call a plumber or anyone,we are just hoping we're not swimming by morning. Am i correct in assuming,the heater is a goner and will have to be replaced? Also,if anyone can help, is there a way to turn the power to the heater off to keep it from leaking? it's a Proline "american water heating company"...about 2-3 years old. I know nothing at all about these things..so any help would be appreciated...e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks in advance for any help

Virgin Blue Announces Direct Newcastle-Brisbane Flights04/12/2003
Huge Support Prompts Brand New Route And More Low Fares
Virgin Blue has announced it will launch daily flights between Newcastle and Brisbane on May 7 2004, just weeks after bringing its low fares and unique service to the region with daily direct flights to Melbourne.
The inaugural Virgin Blue service took off from Williamtown on 1 November 2003 and since then has been strongly supported in both directions with the aircraft flying over 80% full.
Significant demand in terms of forward bookings on its Melbourne service has given Virgin Blue the confidence to commit to offering a new route out of the region.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, "After becoming the only carrier servicing the Melbourne-Newcastle route, Qantas wanted everyone to believe that this was a route only worthy of small turbo props.
Virgin Blue has decided to take Newcastle seriously by putting in big jets and people have responded with their full support. We are feeling confident about the new Brisbane service and we will consider a second Newcastle-Melbourne flight in the not too distant future."
The low fare carrier will provide the only jet aircraft flight between Newcastle and the Queensland capital, which translates to a smoother, quieter and quicker ride, shaving nearly half an hour off the existing flying time offered by its competitors.
"Qantas ignored Newcastle after they acquired Impluse but even if they start taking the city seriously again, we are confident that the people of the Hunter will realise which airline is focused on bringing them modern jets with great service and low fares." Brett Godfrey added.
In true Virgin Blue style, a launch fare of $69* will be on sale from today until 14 December 2003, for travel between 7 May 2004 and 24 June 2004. Mid-Week Mini-Fares will start from $79* one-way, while everyday low fares will start from $89* one-way. Fully Flexible fares are available from $249* which offers a saving of more than 33% over the competitors equivalent fare.
"This new route is not just for the day return traffic to South East Queensland. People from various groups including both tourism and the mining sector, have told us that not only are they tired of flying on "bug smashers", they also want convenient connections to destinations up north such as Mackay, Cairns and Townsville."
The flight will depart Newcastle at 6.30am, landing in Brisbane at 7.40am. The return flight departs Brisbane at 8.50pm, landing back in Newcastle at 10.05pm.
Brett Godfrey finished, "People in Newcastle and the Hunter region have quickly realised that if they support us, we will reciprocate with more low fares, which is good for tourism, good for families and good for the economy of the entire region."
Connecting services from Newcastle to Cairns, Mackay and Townsville will be offered with Mid-Week Mini-Fares starting from $179* to Townsville, $189* to Mackay and $239* to Cairns.
The new Brisbane service will also see an aircraft and Virgin Blue crew overnight in Newcastle for the first time.
Today's Newcastle-Brisbane route announcement coincides with other key Virgin Blue schedule enhancements including:
A brand new direct flight three days a week between Melbourne and Darwin starting from 7 April 2004;
An increase in Brisbane-Townsville flights from 2 a day to 3 daily direct services starting 8 May 2004; and
Launch of direct daily Sydney-Townsville flights from 11 March 2004.
For Virgin Blue bookings log on to www.virginblue.com.au, call 13 6789 or contact a travel agent.
Note: Saturday flight times vary – DJ 908 departs Brisbane at 8.00pm and arrives Newcastle at 9.15pm
Note: Sunday flight times vary – DJ 901 departs Newcastle at 6.45am and arrives Brisbane at 7.55am
Virgin Blue currently operates a fleet of 40 brand new Boeing 737 aircraft with an average age of less than two years. The award winning carrier currently flies to 20 destinations nationally and has recently launched 'Pacific Blue', its New Zealand based sister airline that is due to begin services between Christchurch and Brisbane on 29 January 2004.
For Virgin Blue bookings log on to www.virginblue.com.au or call 13 6789. For Pacific Blue bookings log on to www.flypacificblue.com or call 13 1645 from Australia or 0800 670 000 from New Zealand.
* All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. The $69 launch fare offer is on sale from today until 14 December and flights are for travel from 7 May until 24 June 2004. Mid-Week Mini-Fares are for travel on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.

Baccalaureate Mass
Commencement: Saturday, May 14, 2016
Location & Parking
The Mass takes place in Gesu Church (17180 Oak Drive, Detroit), located one block north of McNichols Campus on Santa Maria between Quincy and Oak Drive. Limited parking is available near the church, but all are encouraged instead to park in the university lots and walk the short distance to the church. (Then you will not need to move your car between the baccalaureate mass and the commencement itself.)
*There will be a complimentary continental breakfast immediately following the Mass in the Student Fitness Center, available until 11:45a.m.
The graduates are asked to assemble outside Gesu Church promptly at 9:30 a.m., in cap and gown. If you are interested in volunteering to take an active role in the ceremony – such as reading, being a eucharistic minister, or singing in the choir – please download an application form and return it to the University Ministry office.
Family & Guests
Go directly into the church, where you will be seated by the ushers. The procession begins at 10 a.m., so be sure to arrive sometime before that. No photography is permitted during the mass.
You are encouraged to participate. Academic regalia is worn for this occasion. Faculty assemble outside the church no later than 9:30 a.m.
Employees are needed to serve as ushers, eucharistic ministers, and singers. Please volunteer by contacting University Ministry. Any concerns or questions? Please call 313-993-1560, or stop by the Ministry office, located in the Student Center across from the Bookstore.
The Baccalaureate Mass is a tradition that dates back to 1432. The word Baccalaureate is from the Latin bacca, berries, and lauri, laurel. The word Baccalaureatus was then used to describe the laurel wreath given at commencements. According to tradition, students graduating from Oxford University were required, as their final test, to give a sermon in Latin to graduate. This practice was adopted into Catholic tradition and now the Baccalaureate Mass is a large component of most Catholic graduation ceremonies. Source: www.livingourfaith.net

Supercomputing Challenge
Supercomputing Challenge is a non profit where mid and high schoolers get a chance to make a difference in their community or in real science and math NOW!
The Mission of the Supercomputing Challenge is to teach teams of middle and high schools students how to use powerful computers to analyze, model and solve real world problems.
Supercomputing Challenge teams tackle a range of interesting problems to solve. The most successful projects address a topic that holds great interest for the team. In recent years, ideas for projects have come from Astronomy, Geology, Physics, Ecology, Mathematics, Economics, Sociology, and Computer Science. It is very important that the problem a team chooses is what we call "real world" and not imaginary. A "real world" problem has measurable components. We use the term Computational Science to refer to science problems that we wish to solve and explain using computer models. See their website's science projects page for details and examples.

August 6 marked the one year anniversary of the Crandall Canyon mine disaster. The day began early with members of the deceased miners families returning to the Crandall Canyon Mine.
The mine has been closed since the mine disaster and a monument has been built at the end of a small trail which winds through the pine trees to a secluded grove.
There are six markers at the site with the names and images of the miners who died that day. Luis Hernandez, Kerry Allred, Carlos Payan, Don Erickson, Manny Sanchez and Brandon Phillips rest within the mountain at Crandall Canyon. Their bodies were not recovered at the time of the disaster and attempts to reach them were halted with the second burst which killed Dale Black, Gary Jensen and Brandon Kimber on August 16.
It has been a difficult year for the miners families. There were the long weeks of waiting without knowing the fate of their loved ones within the mountain and the long months of trying to rerebuild without their loved ones.
With the installation of the monument at Crandall Canyon, it is hoped the healing can begin with a place for the families to visit and remember those who perished.
The monument sits in a secluded grove surrounded by pine trees and quaking aspen trees. There are three benches with the names of the mine rescuers on them with their birth and death date information.
A marker at the beginning of the trail denotes the area as a sacred place which is to be honored and held with reverence for what has taken place at the mine site.
Pastor Carl Sitterud whose brother-in-law Dale was killed in the second burst dedicated the monument in a private ceremony for the families only.
Later in the day the media was allowed to photograph the monuments after the families had left.
A luncheon was held for the miners families at the parking area for the new monument.
The monument is now open for public viewing.
Another monument is being prepared by artist Karen Templeton. This sculpture depicts each of the nine men whose lives were lost in the disaster. Templeton was awarded the opportunity to construct this monument by the families of the miners. Each family had a vote on what type of monument should be constructed.
The work is nearing completion on this second monument. It will be dedicated on Sept. 14 in Huntington at the rest area near the cemetery and the Canyon View Junior High. The monument was bronzed by the foundry in Lehi on Aug. 7.

SHANGHAI – Cadillac was third among all luxury brands in the 2013 China Customer Service Index (CSI) Study recently released by J.D. Power Asia Pacific. Its score of 872 out of a maximum 1,000 points was 23 points above the segment average.
The China CSI Study, now in its 13th year, measures satisfaction among vehicle owners (between 12 and 24 months of ownership) who visited an authorized dealer's service department for maintenance or repair work during the past six months. The study examines five factors: service quality, service facility, vehicle pick-up, service advisor and service initiation. The customer satisfaction score measures the performance among authorized dealers on meeting customers' expectations of their aftersales experience.
Since formally entering the Chinese market in 2004, Cadillac has adopted strict service standards. In 2011, it launched the Enhance Prestige – Cadillac PLUS aftersales service brand in China, which has three pillars: Exclusive, Intelligent and Proactive.
This year, Cadillac unveiled the E-Service intelligent electronic service system to extend and strengthen Cadillac PLUS. The system is focused on intelligent facilities, advanced management, seamless communication, and improved service transparency and efficiency. Cadillac owners can enjoy premium reservation, reception, repair and delivery services.
As it continues to expand its array of services, Cadillac also continues to expand its lineup of models sold in China. Cadillac currently offers the CTS luxury sedan and coupe, SRX luxury utility vehicle, Escalade luxury SUV and its newest model, the XTS luxury sedan. In the first seven months of 2013, Cadillac sales in China rose 40.4 percent on an annual basis to 23,346 units.
General Motors traces its roots back to 1908. GM has 11 joint ventures, two wholly owned foreign enterprises and more than 58,000 employees in China. GM and its joint ventures offer the broadest lineup of vehicles and brands among automakers in China. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles are sold under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang, and Wuling brands. In 2014, GM sold more than 3.5 million vehicles in China. More information on General Motors in China can be found at GM Media Online.

LETTERS From Josh Harris, Wootton:
I WAS pulled over in one of those police spot checks, where they seem to be checking anything and everything about you (CP, 30-11-12).
I am registered disabled with quite severe arthritis even though I am only 22 years of age. I also drive a high performance sports car — I have worked for years to pay for it myself, as well as insure, maintain and tax it and pay crazy amounts to the taxman on fuel duty.
I believe I was pulled over because of the type of car I drive and the fact I am a younger driver. In no way is this random.
I was made to stand out in the cold and wet weather for almost 45 minutes while they did many checks on both myself and my car, questioning things, including where I was going and for what reason —why should anyone have to disclose this information?
I was told the tread on my tyres were below the legal limit, even though the car had passed its MoT three weeks ago.
I called their bluff, as there is a garage within view of where I was pulled over. I had someone bring a tread measure gauge over and it was confirmed they were actually on and over the legal limit and not under.
To add to this, tyres had already been purchased and were awaiting fitting due to colder weather coming in and being advised they would probably be over the limit for the MoT this time next year — the car was in no way dangerous as they were making out.
The outcome of me thinking on my cold, damp feet was that they, the police, not only couldn't get their extortionist recovery company to impound my car but also they couldn't fine me.
I don't feel my 'random' pull over was in any way right and nor were the personal questions asked.
I also had to stand out in the cold damp weather and was repeatedly asked to bend down to look at some tyres which turned out to be perfectly legal.

I consider myself a native resident of Emery County, having been born in Huntington and attended school in Huntington, in the Emery County School District's education system. I graduated high school from Page High in the second graduating class of the new town of Page, Ariz. after my family had moved there for employment. I was a laborer on the Glen Canyon Dam for a short period, attended colleges in Utah for a period and married Glenna Jones from Huntington.
We set up housekeeping in Salt Lake City. I started employment for Mountain Fuel, a natural gas distribution company, now known as Questar Gas, as a laborer, working up in the ranks, ending my career of 32 years as the manager of the Ogden Region of Mountain Fuel. Glenna and I have three boys and one girl, and 14 grandchildren, which we think the world of.
We moved from Ogden to Castle Dale in 1995, I bought and remodeled an old home in the center of Castle Dale. I was employed by Johansen and Tuttle Engineering Company for a few years as a construction inspector. We served in the Singapore Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 18 months, living in East Malaysia and Singapore during that time.
When I came back to the U.S., I felt that this is a great place to live and that I owed my community some more service, so I ran for the position of Emery County Commissioner. I am enjoying the opportunity of being a commissioner and serving the people of Emery County. It is a great time to be in Emery County.
I would appreciate your vote on Nov. 7 as I look forward to serving the great citizens of this wonderful county for another four years.
Mike Hurdsman will bring to the commissioner seat a lifetime of experience and education. With 28 years of service to Utah Power and Light, he had many opportunities to travel, receive training and gain experience in management skills. He worked up from entrance level positions as a skilled helper and meter reader to apprentice electrician, journeyman electrician, electrical supervisor, planner/scheduler and multi-craft supervisor before he retired in 2000.
At the Huntington Power Plant he had the opportunity to work both sides of the work force. He served as the Union Unit Chairman for IBEW Local 57 several years as well as serving in management positions for several years.
Mike and his wife Judy have made Huntington their home for the past 33 years. Their children are Darrin, Becky, Kevin, Brandin, Tifnie and Ethan.Mike served in the Utah Army National Guard. He has a full understanding of the role that Guardsmen and their families make in the defense and service to our nation and state. He has chaired the Emery County Chamber of Commerce for the past three years.
He is active in his church and enjoys most of his callings with the youth. As a Scouter, he is working as a mentor and teacher. He has enjoyed many outings, camps, backpack trips, trips to Mexico, ATV tours, cross-country skiing, rendezvous, rappelling, black powder shoots and other experiences with the youth. He enjoys hunting, archery, backpacking, ATVs, fishing, genealogy, archeology, aviation and being in the great outdoors.
Upon retirement, Mike took part of his retirement and expanded his car wash business into a full car care center in Huntington and later into Ferron. These businesses are providing work opportunities for 15 employees. Mike also enjoys working their small farm and loves working with the livestock and the land.Visit his website at www.mike4us.com, and please vote.

By RICHARD SHAW Emery County Progress publisher
Kids have great imaginations and sometimes it is hard as an adult to remember ones own thoughts and feelings as a child. But some of those do hang on. I can still remember how naive I was about so many things (as I still am about some) and how I thought everyone in the world was a good person. But if there was one overwhelming feeling in my imagination I always wished to have super powers.
I started collecting and reading comic books at the age of eight. I had a few before that, but mostly Disney stuff and some Archies. It was when I was eight that I discovered heros like The Flash, Green Lantern and of course Superman, who I had seen on television for years, but had not related to the comic books until then. With that came the idea of being able to have super powers. Things like being able to fly, x-ray vision, super speed and super strength were idolized in my young mind.
It was about that same time that comics changed and characters with real personality flaws began to appear on the pages. Those types of characters were really pioneered by Marvel Comics with such characters as the Fantasic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man and of course the most flawed of all, Spiderman.
Also introduced in comic books in those years were human beings with single powers, some with them really dumb abilities. They often were cast off characters who had only one power that really wasn't worth much in relativity to the big heros. Along came guys or gals that could turn bodies of water into stone, could freeze anything with their hands (but only if the object to be iced had a temperature over 100 degrees), those that had flying ability but only when the sky was cloudy, those that could eat like a bird (I mean literally), etc. etc. etc. There were some really stupid powers, or what I thought were when I was young.
OK, so I got older, now a lot older and I look back at those days and realize what an imagination I had. But a spark of that strange world is still there in me. The other day I realized I would still like a super power, but nothing like what I had ever seen portrayed before. What I want is the ability to change the name of things and people.
With that super ability I would be able to change the name of something with a thought. The written word would change in every book, magazine, newspaper and blog in the world. It would also change in peoples minds.
We all have names of things and words we don't like. So I could change those to my liking. For instance I have never liked the name Moscow. Sounds to me like a cow who stood in the pasture a little too long in the rain and turned green. I know that's not the origin of the word, but I don't like it anyway. What I would change it to would be another question. I know of three cities named this. Obviously the one in Russia, and one each in Idaho and Pennsylvania. I am sure we could find better names for all of them. What about Cold City, Spudtown and Quakerville?
But there is much more. Working in the newspaper business I see a lot of strange names and often get yelled at about the fact that we spelled them wrong in an article or in a caption in the paper. I would revert every odd spelled name (on the basis of what I consider status quo) to the normal spelling. That would make my, and my fellow writers life a lot easier.
I would make it so no high school in the state could have the same name for their mascot as another. I mean how many Eagles, Tigers and Mustangs do we need. Each of those names represent six high school mascots in Utah. It makes it hard when writing sports (You know "The Tigers took the ball to the 23 yard line when a Tiger down field made the big play to stop him before he reached the Tigers end zone.") There should a registry that allows only the use of one name and I would make it so. I would also do away with mascot names that have gender tied to them. I mean how do you write about a school that has a womens team where the mascot is the Redmen (Cedar High). Do you call them the Lady Redmen?
Next I would change the name of articles and things that have the same name but when used in speech can be utilized to mean different things, sometimes embarrassingly so. Take the word thong for instance. When I was a kid thongs were a shoe with a strap that ran between the big and small toe and at that point split. They were basically an open sandal. Today everyone calls them flip-flops. But if I still call them a thong such as uttering "Where are my thongs?" when my grandkids are present, they laugh, thinking that I have some kind of fancy underwear laying around. And I am sure they don't even want to picture their fat old grandpa in such garb. To make it more complicated, if you are a computer geek you also know that flip-flop can mean a bit counter that is used in solid state memory systems. It just goes to show that one word should only mean one thing. That would be my take on it and I would fix that throughout the English language.
And finally (well not probably because I could find other ways to use the power as well) would be names of people I just don't like. If I didn't like a person I would give them some really bad name, one that would cause derision and ridicule. I would also change the names of anyone with names of old girl friends who dumped me, people who cheated me and the bullies that hung me up by my shorts on a coat hook in my old elementary school hall.
See at first glance it didn't seem like much of a power did it. I certainly could see money coming from industry to fix communication problems and from language experts to sort out consternation in speech. But most of all I could stand on street corners and threaten to stick people with names like Adolf Hitler and Bernie Madoff if they didn't give me 10 bucks. I know it would be considered extortion, a word I don't like, but I could change that too.
I know this is silly, but hey the world (particularly that of those of political aspirations) always seems to be caught up in semantics, so why not have someone who can fix it? And why not me?

Your business trip is underway and what better way to revive your senses than take a long, hot shower.
Individually wrapped amenities give that personal, comforting feeling that we all appreciate away from home, and an attendant is never far away to make sure the facilities you use feel like you're the only person using them.
Refreshed, you step out of the Shower Spa and head to the bar where an enticing selection of beverages awaits. Now you can really unwind.
Sinking into the leather lounge seats and exchanging views with other international business people, the setting has all the hallmarks of an exquisite, meticulously run 5-star resort.
The only difference is you are at 43,000 feet.
Welcome to the Emirates' A380. It has been eight years in the making, but it is more than worth the wait.
Venture on board and you will see why. Immediately, you're overcome by the sense of space. This is a gargantuan aircraft and every inch of space has been carefully designed to give our passengers the best experience in the sky.
This is nothing short of an airborne hotel and the 24 cabin crew, donning their new look uniform, will be more than happy to tell you all about it. The Emirates' A380 revolutionises air travel and offers a level of comfort and space never seen before on a commercial airliner.
Spread over two levels, the whole of the upper deck is dedicated to Premium Class passengers. Towards the front are 14 flat-bed, massage-equipped Private Suites. Remote controlled doors, a work desk, an electrically controlled mini-bar and the most advanced in-flight entertainment system available to travellers are all part of this luxury sanctuary eight miles up.
But the First Class feature that will be the talk of the travel industry, the media and travellers around the world is the Onboard Shower Spa, brought to you by the airline's premium spa brand, Timeless Spa. Emirates promised some special surprises with its A380 and this is one of them - a real sprinkling of home comforts above the clouds.
Stroll into Business Class and you will find a new generation of intelligent seating, designed to ensure all seats have aisle access. There is a cleverly designed table that never gets in your way, a seat that slickly becomes a flat bed and laptop stowage for when you want to switch from work to fun, and enjoy the award winning ice entertainment system, available to all onboard.
You may expect Economy Class to be forgotten inside this superjumbo. Nothing could be further from the truth. More generous seats, wider aisles, gourmet chef-prepared meals and the Emirates' personal touch means passengers could be mistaken for thinking they have settled in the wrong cabin class.
For such a colossal aircraft, there's another surprise - the quietness. Its GP7200 engines, manufactured by the Engine Alliance, are as quiet as engines get. More help to passengers wanting a good night's sleep and a great deal more peaceful for those on the ground.
When talking about the A380, it is probably best to dismiss all conventional expectations you may have about air travel. The Emirates' A380 is an entirely different experience.

Comments: I use the orange balls with my PE classes in California. The same ball I remember from my childhood. Durable, handles well, and doesn't stick to the blade like the soft balls that came with the school's hockey equipment.
From: Mike, Arroyo Grande, CA
Comments: Best brand for street balls, only advice is use the correct color for the right weather, the balls will last a lot longer, most floor leagues stick with red, the most solid of all the colors, for the highest temps but the ball sticks to the blade way less.
From: Tristaan, CA
Comments: These are the balls we use in our indoor ball hockey league. As a goalie, I'm not a fan because of the amounts of spin these get causing the balls to hook, rise, and dive (but don't all balls?). There is no visible logo either which would help you see which way the ball is spinning. They bounce a little (about 3 times from a shoulder-height drop) but are pretty good. I think these are without a doubt the best balls for recreational ball hockey, but I would at least like to see a black stamped logo on the ball for these to be perfect. The G-Force balls are better, but since they are heavier and we do not mandate helmet usage, we opt not to use them. The Franklin balls are the least preferred and are larger too.
From: Kevin, Gathersburg, MD
Comments: I've been using two of the red ones for practice on me. The site does not say which ball is for what though, but the red ones are pretty strong, have little bounce, and will take a beating.
From: Morgan, Greenville, PA
Comments: These are the best hockey balls out there. They're great forstickhandling, shooting, and visibility. Also, the different hardnesses really help, so if you're going to get these, just get all four atonce. We used to use a tennis ball for street hockey, but then we got these, and they don't bounce! Ice Warehouse definitely has the best
price on them too. Everywhere else is much more expensive. I am very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend these to anyone who plays street hockey.
From: Matt, Saylorsburg, PA
Comments: Can never go wrong with these for outdoor hockey. Liquid Filled are to heavy sometimes.
From: Peter, NJ
Comments: I'm in Memphis, TN and play on smooth concrete. The red is definitely the color we use the majority of the time as it does not get 'sticky' and squish (is that a word?) up under your stick in warm/hot weather. We also use the orange when it gets colder outside as the red will get too hard and bounce, and leave a really nice welt if you block a slapshot without padding. As for the other colors, we have tried them but it really doesn't get cold enough here (30 degrees is about the lowest) to use a different color. As others have said, you really can't go wrong with the Mylec hockey balls. Inline Warehouse is AWESOME, great customer support and is the way to go every time, without a doubt!
From: Jason, Memphis, TN
Comments: best street balls at the best price...nothing else to say but buy'em
From: Jack, NJ
Comments: These hockey balls are great! I have been using mylec products since I was in middle school. They are the best ball on the market, and for the price how could you not buy them, mylec is the only way to go.
From: Alex, NH
Comments: Same brand we use for dek or street hockey and they're consistently excellent, all of the balls react in the same predictable way which makes them great for learning and practicing stick handling.
From: William
Comments: Mylec by far offers the best variety on the market in hockey balls. Don't get fooled by purchasing these balls retail, Inline Warehouse has the best price around by far - I live in Canada (not too far outside of Toronto), and order in bulk from Inline Warehouse. For League play I use: the Red Mylec Balls in summer which stand up to the hot and humid weather; the Orange Mylec Balls for Spring and Fall Leagues, and; the Pink Mylec Balls for Winter Play. When you use the correct Mylec Hockey Ball, you get the best 'play' available from any comparable hockey ball on the market. Having played organized Ball Hockey for over 15 years, I am personally not 'sold' on the liquid filled Hockey Balls on the market and find the origingal Mylec hockey ball to be superior, both in pick up and League play.
From: Stu
Comments: These are probably your best bet for an outdoor hockey ball. they're sturdy and durable; I don't have much trouble with them bouncing either. Do yourself the favor and just buy all three at once; the weather really does change how the ball works. Living in Buffalo, which one I use depends day-by-day. They're an excellent buy for the money.
From: Scott

|Posted by LonnythePlumber on July 30, 2004 at 23:25:43:
|In response to Re: Holes and notches through floor joists
: The rule of thumb is that notches more than 1/6 of depth or in the middle 1/3 of length, or holes outside the middle 1/3 of height should be avoided. That being said, the impact of small holes and notches is negligle--if you look the joists probably have a random assortment of knots bigger than the holes you're talking about. If we're talking 3" notches in a 2x10 or something, I'd recommend siamesing up reinforcing on each side of the joist below the notch and for a couple feet on each side, gluing and thru-bolting with carriage bolts. For the types of small notches and holes you're talking about I wouldn't worry about it! Good luck.
CEA, do others use the 'siamesing' term?

Gorgeous but the height is no joke!
"These heels are gorgeous and sure to make heads turn, but I have a profound level of respect for anyone who can manage to walk in them! If you're used to wearing 6 inch heels you'll love them. But if you're like me and you're used to a mere 3-4.5 inches, these heels will make you feel like you're walking on a balance beam with tennis balls strapped to your feet. The slope of the shoe isn't so bad, and if I could chop off the bottom 1.5 inches of the platform and the heel I'd love them. But that 2 inch platform is not kidding around, and I can't even walk 10 feet in them without having my knees wobbling and holding my arms out for balance!!"
