My name is Jeff Tuttle and I am running for a position on the Orangeville City Council. I have lived in Orangeville for the past 27 years, where my wife and I have raised our four children.
I enjoy serving on the city council and being a part of the many improvements and activities that make our city a great place to live. I would appreciate your vote on Nov. 6.
Patrick Sundstrom is running for Emery City Council
My name is Patrick Sundstrom and I am seeking re-election to the Emery Town Council. My family moved to Emery in 1975. I graduated from Emery High in 1986 and served six years in the United States Air Force. I am employed at Live Earth Products in Emery. I got out of the Military because my wife, Heather, and I knew Emery was the only place to raise our children, Mark and Jolee. It is, in my opinion the best place in the world.
I know there are some things that need to be done to improve our town, and while I have served on the Town Council we have accomplished quite a bit, particularly for the youth of Emery. While there are changes in the world and time does not stand still, I promise to do the best I can to keep Emery as close to being the same town as it was back in 1975. I would appreciate your vote of confidence in November. Thank You
Glen Dale Johnson is running for Green River City Council
I am Glen Dale Johnson. I am a candidate for Green River City council. Some of my qualifications are: experience. two years city council, six years as Green River mayor. I am retired with the time and desire to do whatever I can to make Green River a better place to live, work and play. I have no personal agenda nor am I connected to any business or special interest group. I believe very deeply that every citizen has the God given right to be heard and entitled to all the rights and privileges that are available without discrimination due to race, religion, age, or gender, rich or poor.
I am very concerned about the young people in our town especially those who are in some degree underprivileged and those who need help and guidance through these trying times. I am concerned about some older citizens who depend on getting meals delivered to them on a daily basis. I see roads that we all should be ashamed of, and a water and sewer system that is in need of a constant effort to keep safe and dependable. I see some property owners that are in danger of being flooded again. I see your children and grandchildren going to and from school where no sidewalk exists, some on a busy street where cars have to stop for them.
I know this all takes money. If elected I will do all that I can to make sure your money is spent properly and on the most important and needed projects. I will do all that I can to improve these and other challenging situations that we face. I will do my homework so that when it is time to act I will be prepared.
Your vote for Glen Dale Johnson is a vote for a Better Green River
Julie Jones is running for Huntington City Council
I have been with the city council for almost six years. In this time I have had the opportunity to learn a great deal. Working with the Community Development Block Grants and the citizens, I put in the playground equipment in the Lions Park. I am continuing with the cemetery project and would like to complete the cemetery grounds. I have been active with the Emery County Economic Council and served on the LEPC too. I have been with the Youth City Council for 10 years.
The Youth City Council has done many things and just a few are Huntington's first afghan, and we put 210 headstones on unmarked graves in the cemetery. The past two years, the Youth City Council throughout the county has made the Lamb Fry a big success and with those proceeds, we have put on some great Youth Leadership Summits that are for all youth 12-18 years.
I just enjoy working and serving for Huntington, mostly for the people. I hope to continue to serve the people and keep Huntington the place where we all can live with our children and grandchildren.
Keith Brady is running for Green River City Council
My name is Keith Brady. I was born in Provo, Utah. I have lived in various places but I have lived most my life in Colorado. I served a honorable full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in South Korea. I finished my Bachelors Degree in Visual Communication in Arizona where we lived for four years.
My family and I moved to Green River a little more than a year ago to purchase the Robbers Roost Motel. We now have three daughters and love being in Green River. My wife and I quickly became active in the community.

Hilary Gordon is running for Huntington Mayor
My name is Hilary Gordon and I am the appointed mayor of Huntington City. The opportunity to serve the community is a great privilege. I have six years experience on the city council. I have secured state funding from the Community Impact Board for the cemetery and the Main Street lighting project which was full grant.
My goals for the future of Huntington are to continue to apply for state funding for improvements to the street projects; curb, gutter and asphalting. The council is striving to complete the rodeo ground and parks by adding a skateboard facility and a soccer field to meet the recreational needs of the community. I also view public safety as a priority.
I really love Huntington and want to help preserve the rural lifestyle that we all enjoy. I truly believe that no greater people exist than the ones in our city. I ask for the opportunity to continue to serve as mayor of Huntington. Thank you.

I love to be active, and work hard with the youth in the community. I have volunteered my time in many different activities that the community, community center, and school have put on. I have experienced several different cultures and feel blessed by all the varied experiences that I have had in my life.
One thing is common among all the places that my family and I have been and that is that family is the strength of the community. A strong family base creates, if not guarantees, a strong and successful community.
JoAnn Behling is running for Ferron City Council
I have lived in Ferron most of my life and have always loved the people of Ferron.

I have worked with budgets and know how important it is to live within the budget and yet see that we spend our money wisely getting the most we can for our tax dollars. I'm well acquainted with people involved in State government having served as the Utah Recorder's Association president, and also on the board for the Utah Association of County Treasurers. I would love to be involved with the city as a council member and feel that because of my past experience with Ferron City and Emery County that I would make a good candidate. I would appreciate your vote this November.

Psalm 27.9,1
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance.
Verse: To you, O Lord, I have cried, O my God.
Brethren, "all things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food" -- and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh." But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body and in your spirit which belong to God.

"North Sea Texas" is a toothless coming-of-age story set in a small Belgian town sometime around 1970. The movie is pleasant to look at; the props and sets, painted in hazy primary colors, seem as though they were carved out of glycerin soap. But while the movie is often pretty, it's only intermittently compelling. Lacking much depth or spark, "North Sea Texas" feels like a short film stretched to feature length; its flaws — inertness, tissue-thin characterizations — are the sorts of things that can pass by unnoticed in a fifteen-minute movie, but get a little boring after an hour.
It's no surprise, then, that writer-director Bavo Defurne is a veteran of the short film circuit; though "North Sea Texas" is his first feature, Defurne has in fact been making movies for more than two decades. Some of these movies have been quite good. "Campfire" (2000), for instance, centers on two teenage boys who develop a mutual attraction while out on a camping trip with their scout troop. It's sensitive, intelligent, and just 21 minutes long.
Though "North Sea Texas" is adapted from a young adult novel, it in many ways feels like a remake of "Campfire." Like the earlier film, it tells the story of a mutual attraction between two teenage boys — 15-year old Pim (Jelle Florizoone) and his 18-year old best friend, Gino (Mathias Vergels). As in "Campfire," one of the boys — in this case Gino — has a girlfriend. Both films also make symbolic use of tents — as innocent, intimate meeting places — and bodies of water (a lake in "Campfire," the North Sea in "North Sea Texas").
So why is it that "Campfire" is engrossing, while "North Sea Texas" is frequently dull? The problem comes down to underdevelopment. "North Sea Texas" has many characters: Gino's sister, who has a crush on Pim; Pim's irresponsible, accordion-playing mother, Yvette; the sleazy man who drives Yvette to her accordion gigs; a tattooed Bulgarian carnival worker who rooms in Pim's house; Gino's saintly, sickly mother. Not one of these, however, is developed past a basic thumbnail sketch — not even Pim, who is ostensibly the center of the movie.
We know that Pim is gay and shy and that he likes to draw — and that's about it. We know that Gino enjoys Pim's attention but is uncomfortable with his attraction to the younger boy, and that he likes motorcycles. Beyond that, there really isn't anything to either character. As a result, their attraction registers more as an idea than as a relationship.
The movie isn't a complete snooze, though. Every now and then, Defurne pulls together a sequence that brings across the sort of longing and sexual confusion that his characters are supposed to be experiencing. One such scene comes at around the film's midpoint — an awkward dance shared by Pim and Gino's sister to the sound of April Stevens' risqué 1959 single, "Teach Me Tiger."
The sight of these two teenagers slow-dancing at arm's length makes for a neat, potent image of adolescent sexuality — something halfway between innocence and desire. There's also an evocative early sequence where Pim and Gino take a trip into the woods for a tryst; upon arriving, the two are framed — or perhaps protected — by a foreground of leafy branches. The scene climaxes (no pun intended) with several shots of swaying grass. The sense that Pim and Gino's attraction is something of a benevolent natural force is palpable — and, for a moment, intoxicating.
The problem, though, is that these quasi-poetic reveries — the stuff Defurne's short films were made of — are few and far between in "North Sea Texas." In lieu of poetry, what the movie presents is a lot of muted melodrama. Shots of characters sullenly sitting at kitchen tables abound. Suggestive threads — such as the way in which Pim and his mother compete for the Bulgarian boarder's attention — are introduced and then left to fizzle out. It's not just that film is underdeveloped — it's that it feels unwilling to develop, preferring to leave its characters and plot points static. The result feels stunted.

My own observations tend to be that the Uzumaki segregated themselves like the Uchiha have done, thereby concentrating their Younger Son Genes while the Senju have mixed it up with other tribes and are more diverse and diluted.
One thing though, If you're talking "Amazing Abilities", you should note that The 3rd Raikage and Juugo's Clan had the Most Amazing abilities. This tends to suggest that having amazing abilities is not neccessarily an indication of closeness to the Sage.

For over 10 years now local Santa Claus Joe DiMartino has been the ambassador for the holiday season on Staten Island, wooing crowds with his interactive Christmas display that gives Macy's a run for their money.
To date, Joe has raised over $100,000 in memory of his late wife, Debra Ann, through the generosity of his visitors. The money raised supports the expansion and renovation of the children's cancer center at Staten Island University Hospital.
Each holiday season, DiMartino pulls out all the stops, filling every square inch of his Rossvile property with animatronic scenes of Christmas Carolers, Mrs. Claus baking ginger bread, a Santa Claus train, Christmas Ice Capades, Ferris Wheel, Christmas lights, music, and spotlights. Every year he expands the experience.
In years past, Joe obtained permits from the city and through cooperation with his neighbors; has lined the sidewalks of Sharrotts Road with the sights and sounds of the holidays. Visitors tour through spectacular scenes from the birth of Jesus, to Santa's workshop at the North Pole and back… without leaving Staten Island.
A family tradition going back to his father, Murray in Brooklyn, Joe brought his display to Staten Island in 2000 with his late wife Debra Ann.
In December 2001 the lights were out at the DiMartino house for the first time since 1976. Joseph's wife, Debra Ann, lost her life in the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01. Debra Ann was a supporter of children's charities. In her honor, Joe decided to help children in need through his display.
Despite the events of Sandy, and volunteering a number of days at a relief kitchen, Joe was able to get his display ready for Black Friday.
"I know how it feel's to lose someone you love. So many people are suffering right now, it's heartbreaking," said DiMartino. "If this display can bring a smile to someone's face; and take their minds of things even for a moment; it's all worth it."
Santa Claus himself has scheduled a few test-flights to Joe's in preparation from Christmas. Santa will flying in to see the children of Staten Island on December 14-16, 21-23 from 7-8 p.m.
To get into the holiday spirit, visit the DiMartino house or mail your donation to Raimonda Clark, vice president of Oncology Services at SIUH at 475 Seaview Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305 c/o Nalitt Institute.
Every evening from 5 p.m. - 11 p.m. beginning November 23 through January 6th.
The DiMartino house is located at 107 Sharrotts Avenue on the South Shore of Staten Island (between Bloomingdale Rd. and Arthur Kill Rd.) The Display runs through the holiday season and into January.

Jon Giltner is a structural engineer. He's also passionate about resource productivity and has long been seriously offended by the huge quantities of perfectly usable lumber that are wasted in the construction industry and dumped into landfills. Now, after 15 years of sustained technical effort and innovation, Giltner and his company, Boulder-based Reconnx, are finally seeing the results of their labors in the form of rapidly rising sales of their unique and patented power tool for removing nails from lumber, the V20 Nail Kicker® denailing gun.
Put simply, the Nail Kicker® is a reverse nail gun. Place the tool's nose over the point of a nail protruding from a piece of lumber, pull the trigger and compressed air drives a steel pin at tremendous velocity through the nose onto the nail point, forcing the nail out of the wood. When used on the head of an embedded nail, the V20 is even powerful enough to pound smaller nails right through boards made of softer woods.
As any do-it-yourselfer knows, removing nails from wood using a hammer and pry bar is a miserably laborious process and typically results in damage to the wood, not to mention fingers and thumbs! Reconnx' studies show that using the Nail Kicker® improves nail removal productivity anywhere from 100 to 500%. For companies involved in the deconstruction industry, pallet recyclers, concrete formers and import/export crating companies, the tool is often a financial lifesaver. Says one happy South African customer: "utilizing a single tool ……. working a 5 day week, in one full year we have removed a total of 6 tonnes of nails. The Nail Kicker® has opened up a whole new world for our company, speeding up production and dramatically reducing the number of people working on our different products." Current FOB price for scrap nails in China? $200 - 500 a ton. This customer has achieved a nice ROI right there before even accounting for his reduced wage bill and the value of the recovered lumber.
Giltner founded Reconnx in 1996 to develop technologies for reducing the volume of waste lumber in the construction industry. After experimenting with various ideas, in 2001 he stumbled across an early version of the tool manufactured by Okabe, a Japanese company that was having little success in marketing it outside Japan and had little interest in modifying it to meet Reconnx' specifications. A chance encounter led Giltner to an importer who arranged for two similar tools to be shipped to the US for testing. He selected the more powerful one for production but it proved to have serious design and manufacturing flaws which revealed themselves to the company's detriment in its first months on the market.
This unfortunate setback did have the benefit of helping Reconnx to establish a reputation for excellent customer service, but when the manufacturer (rightly) discontinued production of the tool, Reconnx was left without a product to sell. Turning now to Besco, a quality Taiwanese manufacturer and maker of the smaller, less powerful tool tested earlier, Reconnx was able to generate steady sales in the US market but the tool, while reliable, lacked the power to satisfy the full range of market needs.
Working closely with Giltner, Besco built prototypes of larger, more powerful tools which, after extensive testing, formed the basis of the current V20 version of the Nail Kicker®. But about the time full scale production was due to commence, Besco was purchased by the large US-based toolmaker, Stanly Bostich, which decided to eliminate third party production ventures. Reconnx was left without a product – again!
After searching vainly for over a year for a US manufacturer capable of producing the newly designed tool, Giltner was able to find another Taiwanese manufacturer with the skills required to produce the new Nail Kicker®. Working closely with the company's manufacturing experts, Giltner completed a final redesign of the tool to accommodate three interchangeable nose/drive-pin assemblies so that customers could use a single denailing gun to remove nails of all types and sizes. The new design also incorporated a retractable feature into the tool's nose, which significantly reduces the likelihood of injury from accidentally firing it. Reconnx has now secured patents on these features, which, together with other engineering improvements, have significantly raised the versatility, performance, reliability and safety of the tool.
Reconnx has been selling the V20 since June 2010 and sales volume has risen steadily. For the 12 months ending May 2012, unit sales increased 25% over the preceding 12 month period. More significantly, distributorships have now been established in several parts of the US and Colombia, and the unit sale run rate for the past 6 months is about 65% above that of late 2010. Nearly 25% of the company's sales now come from overseas – remarkable given the fact that financial resources have limited marketing efforts to periodic advertising in tool and pallet magazines, occasional appearances at construction industry shows and a simple web site.
Reconnx is actively seeking additional US and overseas distributors and is examining other ways of expanding awareness of the Nail Kicker® in what are highly fragmented markets, mostly dominated by small businesses. For his next act, Giltner is resurrecting a patented design he developed years ago for a nail-pulling and broken screw removal drill attachment.
Giltner's never-say-die entrepreneurial persistence and his passion for improving resource utilization provide an outstanding example of how sustainability-based thinking can drive game-changing technological innovation.

Aizen mocking Yamamoto is great. Thank you for protecting my world.
Aizen is a bastard but you can´t help but like him. He is god after all.
RJ is sealed for ever!. Yama can never use his flames again. I knew it was not just temporary since it will be stupid from Aizen´s side to do so, and god is not stupid.
Also FINALLY, Ichigo is back weather he gets smoked or not it doesn't matter at least he's trying and picked a good moment, I wonder if Gin will sniper him though.
Started a new thread since first thread didn't have a poll. :hmm:
Spoiler!Short chapter but oh so sweet. Yammaji is pretty BA. Looks like Ichigo finally finished pissing himself and decided to help.
Hmm....Everyone, mark the date you read this chapter on your calendars. This the day Aizen took his first, undeniably solid hit. Not a bad chapter at all. Yamamoto brought the pain and Ichigo's finally made his move. But, someone tell me why I have a feeling that Ichigo is about to fail lol? Probably because Gin is still standing just off screen with his Sniper Rifle in hand...Um I mean his zanpakuto in hand. Well, I'll certainly be looking forward to the next chapter to see whether Epic Fail, Epic Win, or Epic WTF happens.
I assume the other thread will be merged here so I will just type here...
I always new Yammy would fall to his own power but I always thought he would go Bankai and have a heart attack under the weight of his own reitsu for using his bankai too long.
Not sure how much damage he did too Aizen but maybe he gave Ichigo a window for a possible win or at least push him back.
Cant really tell where this is all going but at least we know unohana is stil lalive to revive them ..what ever comes next...
Was a solid kick ass chapter 5/5 Bleach is getting better ...
Nice, least we know Aizen takes damage from point blank level 90 spells.
Finally Aizen took some damage, and by Ichigo attacking him we know it's not an illusion. Since Yamaji entered Bleach got better for me, I hope it will continue like this. Let's see what Ichigo can do new, can't wait for the next weeks chapter.
Perhaps Gin is the real mastermind behind this. It would seem kind of strange for the true evil guy to receive a blow before his subordinate gets one.
My eyes are locked on Gin.
I hope the old man is not dead, no one in the series can replace him as Com. Cap.
I have a hard time to judge the chapter. Depends on what comes after it. At least it's not right out terrible.

For five decades, the West Fertilizer Co. and the residents of West, Tex. lived in cautious harmony. That all changed Wednesday night.
WEST, Tex. — When school officials spotted a fire at the West Fertilizer Co. earlier this year, they immediately evacuated all 200 fourth and fifth graders from the nearby intermediate school.
The fire turned out to be a harmless controlled burn. But the exercise underscored just how conscious school officials and residents were of the fertilizer depot — and the risks of storing tons of ammonium nitrate there.
"Of course there were concerns," said Jan Hungate, assistant superintendent of the West Independent School District. "But what are we going to tell them? 'Please move the plant?' We can't do that. … When you're in a town this small there's only so many available places."
For five decades, the facility and the residents lived in symbiotic, if cautious, harmony. Locals worked at the depot and played football in its adjoining fields. Farmers used grain and fertilizer from the facility to revitalize fields and feed their cattle.
That changed in an instant Wednesday night, when a fire at the depot ignited into a massive fireball, killing at least 14 people, injuring more than 150 and destroying dozens of homes.
On Friday, authorities called off the search and rescue operation.
"It's amazing that nothing like this ever happened before," said resident Jim Kolacek, who lost a close friend in the blast. The facility had recently received a new load of fertilizer for spring planting, he said.
Still, he didn't blame the depot.
"That's just a way of life," he said. "It's a farming town. You just don't think about that."
The West Fertilizer Co. started in open fields near the train tracks on the east side of town in 1962, according to state records. Over the years, grain tanks, storage facilities and other buildings were added.
The town crept toward it. In 2001, the local high school was built a block-and-a-half away. The intermediate school, which serves fourth and fifth graders, opened within two blocks, along with an apartment complex, a nursing home and an Air Evac Lifeteam medical base — all within blocks of the facility. Also nearby, hundreds of brick ranch-style homes were built beginning in the 1970s, according to residents.
Locals describe the fertilizer depot as a small, family owned operation. Federal records show it was owned by Donald Adair, of West. Adair could not be reached for comment.
"It's vital to our community," resident Barbara Tally said. "It's been here for so long."
But, unbeknownst to many residents, the depot was acquiring fines from the Environmental Protection Agency, for failing to update a risk management plan and having poor employee-training records, according to the agency. The company later certified it had corrected the deficiencies, the EPA said.
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are still investigating the cause of the fire and subsequent explosion. But ammonium nitrate — a white crystalline compound often used in fertilizers — is likely the culprit, said Bryan Haywood, who runs the Safety and Engineering Network and does safety consultations for chemical companies.
When ignited, ammonium nitrate burns very hot and can cause explosions, he said. The facility contained at least 540,000 pounds of the chemical -- or 100 times more than what was used in the Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Water – instead of dampening it – creates a chemical reaction with ammonium nitrate that releases oxygen, causing the fire to burn hotter, Haywood said. Authorities have not said what firefighters used to fight the initial blaze.
Once this process begins, "it's like a snowball going down a mountain, it just gets bigger and bigger," Haywood said. "Eventually it gets to the point of no return and you get a huge explosion."
Residents knew the risks of having so much ammonium nitrate stored in the nearby facility, especially if a fire took it. Jim Kolacek's wife, Christy Kolacek, was driving with a friend toward the fire Wednesday night. When she noticed it was the fertilizer facility on fire, she stomped on the brakes and turned around.
"I knew fire and fertilizer is a bad combination," she said. "I turned to the lady I was with and said 'We've got to get out of here.'"
For Chris Dulock, 33, the facility was more than just a local business: it was a rite of passage. He had worked there, loading and off loading bags of fertilizer, while a student in high school, and his father had worked there while he was in high school, too, he said. He and other students practiced football in the field next to the depot and many of his friends got jobs there.
One day while working at the facility, one of the older workers pulled him aside and offered a stark warning.
"He said, 'If this ever caught fire, it'll blow half the town off the map,'" Dulock said. "That's exactly what happened."

About Geological Engineering
Geology and Engineering – Interdisciplinary Engineering and Science
Geological Engineering is interdisciplinary with faculty from the College of Engineering and the College of Letters and Science. Geological Engineering integrates two disciplines – geology and engineering. Geologist study the earth – its origins, its composition, and its evolution. Engineers apply scientific principles to practical ends, such as the design and construction of facilities for practical use by society. Geological engineers find the best ways to use the earth's resources to solve technical problems while protecting the environment. Geological engineers solve a variety of practical problems associated with rock and soils using principles of sustainable engineering. They design and construct structures, transportation facilities, dams, tunnels, and power plants. They mitigate naturally occurring phenomena such as floods, landslides, and earthquakes, and develop safe and environmentally sound sources of energy and minerals. They also manage groundwater and surface water resources to ensure the public safety and health. Geological engineers also design and construct subsurface repositories for waste disposal and remediate contaminated sites.
Geological engineering offers BS, MS and PhD degrees. The BS degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (http://www.abet.org), which is required to obtain a professional engineering license.
Students pursuing the BS Geological Engineering (BSGLE) degree are encouraged to obtain a second major in Geoscience. The BSGLE degree program is set up so that students can obtain a second major Geoscience in a single 125-credit degree program. No extra credits are required to obtain the second major in Geosci along with the BSGLE.
Careers in Geological Engineering
With strong skills in geoenvironmental engineering, groundwater technology, hydrogeology, rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, geophysics and geology. Graduates can expect employment with consulting firms, the petroleum and gas industry, mining companies, federal and state laboratories and agencies, and others. Geological engineers spend part of their working time outdoors enjoying nature. GLE students can opt for a second major in geology, since the credits in geoscience required for the GLE degree satisfy the BS degree in geology.

If there was no power in Duff-Kingston Gymnasium Friday night, the energy and electricity that Harrisburg brought to the championship game of the Eldorado Class 2A Regional final would have lit the storied gymnasium up for days.
In a building that has been Harrisburg's home-away-from-home, the Bulldogs cruised to a 77-46 victory Friday night, winning the fourth straight regional title and the fifth in the last six years for head coach Randy Smithpeters.
Mainly because of Harrisburg's involvement in the Eldorado Holiday Tournament, the Bulldogs won their 16th straight game at Duff-Kingston, as well as 19th out of their last 20th. It was the 21st overall game for this senior class at Eldorado.
Smithpeters is in his 20th year on the sideline as the Bulldogs' and when asked what he shares in common with this particular group of seniors, forced the head coach to ponder sitting down and putting it all on paper.
"It's amazing what this group has been able to accomplish," Smithpeters said. "This is there upteeth win here at Eldorado and their record here is amazing. They have won 16 straight and are like 19-1 in their last 20 games. Then you go to the trophies and the titles over the last four years and you can look at their overall record 106-22, it's there, the history is there, but we're more interested in the future."
As for right now, the future means a Wednesday night date with Chester at the West Frankfort Sectional.
The winner of that game would play the Nashville-Mt. Carmel winner Friday night for the 2A Sectional Championship and a date in next Monday night's Super-Sectional at the SIU Arena in Carbondale.
Harrisburg senior Tyler Smithpeters has plenty of team hardware to stare at, so when prompted about his feelings the unsigned guard who had 14 points for the Bulldogs said that he was just happy to do what his dad preached.
"We've won a regional every year so far. It's pretty big," Smithpeters said. "We did what my dad preached to us. I think we were ready for (Benton). I know we played them last Friday and won, but regional championships don't come along very often."
It was a rough start for Benton, who has won regional titles the past two seasons and has been in the title game all four years, under new coach Ron Winemiller.
The Rangers' first five possessions all resulted in turnovers, while Harrisburg used every opportunity to capitalize. The Bulldogs built a 24-1 lead in just the game's first five minutes before Dylan Sheeks made Benton's first bucket with 2:57 left in the first.
Page 2 of 2 - The Bulldogs closed out the first quarter up 30-9 and took a more than comfortable 53-16 lead into the locker room.
"Our concern or something that we deliberated was that Benton might come out and play a slow-type game and basically hold the possessions down," Randy Smithpeters said. "We knew that the defensive end was going to be important, we also knew that we needed quality on the offensive end, so that we didn't get behind. It was just nice to see everything work out the way we needed it too."
In good taste, Smithpeters pulled his troops midway through the fourth quarter with Harrisburg holding a 61-18 lead.
Ryne Roper, who had eight first quarter points and finished with nine, said that one of the team's biggest keys is to get out to a quick start and use a lot of energy.
"We pride ourselves on the defensive end and our goal is to give up less than 44 points, which is our average for the year and we were able to do that, Roper said. ""Just going out with a championship is something that's really special. Doing it here, it's kind of been a home-away-from-home place for us. This is all really neat."
NOTES: Harrisburg's Ryne Roper advanced in Friday night's Country Financial Three Point Showdown in a shoot off and will now compete Friday at the West Frankfort Sectional. Also advancing were Eldorado's Tyler Deaton, along with West Frankfort's Trenton Easley and Johnston City's Austin McPheron. ... Deaton made the most, knocking down 11 3-pointers. ...Also representing Harrisburg in the Three Point Showdown were Gabe Oglesby, Caleb Bartok and Jarren Goldman. ... Oglesby made eight, along with Roper in the first round and went to a shoot off. ... Bartok scored two points in Harrisburg's 74-38 win over West Frankfort Wednesday night.

Mortgage Crisis Is Affecting Local Property Crime
Vacancies, Theft, and Property Damage
Homebuyers eager for deals are not alone in looking to cash in on opportunities created by the nation's mortgage crisis. Criminals, too, are eyeing foreclosed homes with the intent to steal, vandalize, and otherwise damage neglected properties and their surrounding neighborhoods.
A booming commodities market, combined with worsening real estate conditions, is creating an upswing in stolen copper piping and other products. Copper, which in 2004 sold for $.80 a pound, is now selling for more than $3.50 a pound, as developing countries such as China and India increase demand for the metal. In Cleveland Heights, Ohio, one copper theft ring copied foreclosure lists from the local sheriff's department and another used computer generated lists from HUD to identify targets.1
In addition to copper, criminals are also stripping houses of air conditioning units, appliances, and even hardwood flooring. Theft, furthermore, is just one of many crime and public nuisance problems created by a glut of empty houses. Besides being inviting to squatters, graffiti, drug-dealing, and prostitution, these properties are being used to host teenage rave parties and marijuana-growing operations. The property damage incurred by these types of trespassing, along with neglect, weather damage, and vermin, is often significant.
Costs to the Community
Frequently neglected by banks or other nonresident owners, these problem properties drive down property values and reduce tax revenues for the community. Quality of life also suffers, with blight disproportionately affecting the low-income and minority neighborhoods, which are often hardest hit by foreclosures.
According to a study focusing on the City of Chicago, managing vacant properties consumes costly resources across many agencies.2 The courts, police, fire, and streets and sanitation departments are shouldering much of the burden of responding to problem properties. A routine police visit costs the department an average of $90 while an incident involving an arrest can cost $1,080. The direct costs of selling an unsecured, foreclosed property can cost the municipality approximately $5,358 to $13,324.
Some municipalities are introducing fines to help recoup costs from owners of abandoned properties. Others are increasing trespassing fines to deter illegal parties.
A Local Approach to Combating Metal Theft
As the numbers of metal and construction thefts began to rise, the Marion County (Florida) Sheriff's Office decided to take a unique approach to handling its local problem. The Community Policing Bureau formed a partnership with the two largest recyclers in the county that has served as a model for the entire state.
Detective Gary Bush, who serves as the construction liaison for Marion County Sheriff's Office, researches daily theft reports and sends the information to local recyclers. Ocala Recycling and Commercial Metals, the two largest recyclers in the county, instruct their employees to record driver's license and license plate numbers of individuals who engage in suspicious transactions. Detective Bush also sends a bimonthly newsletter to recyclers, builders, and contractors about property theft trends and coordinates a monthly intelligence-sharing meeting attended by 20 law enforcement agencies and businesses.
Trends in metal and construction thefts have changed in the past few years and police departments have found it necessary to change their responses accordingly. Initially, Marion County police formed partnerships with contractors and builders in response to an increase in thefts of building materials. After new construction decreased and foreclosures increased, the department noticed a shift in thefts from building materials to appliances and air conditioning units. "Later," Detective Bush explained, "the focus began to shift again, and copper wire became the big target … Since copper was now being stolen, it was time to begin taking a more active role with our recyclers, hence, the partnership."
Misunderstood intentions can hinder the development of successful partnerships. Police must realize recyclers are, by and large, law-abiding businesses. Conversely, recyclers must acknowledge that the police are not simply aiming to put them out of business, but rather they are confronting a legitimate problem when dealing with metal theft. Detective Bush acknowledges that building and maintaining successful partnerships requires hard work and daily contact. "I spend so much time at Ocala Recycling … they gave me one of their Ocala Recycling hard hats with 'Det. Bush' printed on it," he said. These efforts, however, are rewarded with results. Since the program began last year, 29 copper, construction, and metal thieves have been arrested with the cooperation of this one business.
COPS Office Resources
Police partnerships with businesses, various municipal and county agencies, District Attorney's offices, community groups, and nonprofit organizations are critical to managing the problem of vacant properties that have become easy targets for crime. A good source of information about partnerships is the COPS Office Problem-Oriented Guide for Policing (POP Guide) titled, Shifting and Sharing Responsibility for Public Safety Problems. The guide can help police educate, encourage, persuade, and request citizens, businesses, and government partners to assume a greater share of responsibility for local crime and disorder problems.
Another COPS Office POP Guide, Graffiti, can help law enforcement address the vandalism problems that are often associated with empty houses. Both publications are available free of charge from the COPS Office web site, www.cops.usdoj.gov.
More information about Marion County's efforts to fight metal theft may also be found in an interview with two local business owners in this issue of the Dispatch.

Connacht ruined Zebre's home debut in the RaboDirect PRO12 by securing a 30-17 victory in a fiesty contest in Parma.
Connacht ruined Zebre's home debut in the RaboDirect PRO12 by securing a 30-17 victory in a fiesty contest in Parma.
Winger Tiernan O'Halloran and number eight George Naoupu both scored tries to help the visitors record their first league win of the new campaign.
Miah Nikora also made a major contribution to Connacht's cause, the fly-half kicking 15 points to keep Zebre out of range.
Wing Samuele Pace and former Blue Bulls flanker Dries van Schalkwyk both touched down for the hosts, but it was not enough to see the Italians come out on top.
Pace went from hero to villain after his try when he tackled Connacht full-back Gavin Duffy in the air and was shown a yellow card.
The Irish side made the most of the man advantage with Nikora's fourth successful kick of the night before Naoupu's try gave them some breathing space.
Dave Gannon and Rodney Ah You were both sent to the sin-bin for the visitors but Zebre's Luca Redolfini was also ordered off for 10 minutes and Connacht sealed the win through lock Mike McCarthy.

2008 Highlands Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Available Online
Wine Philosophy: Highlands wines confirm that quality wine making starts in the vineyard. Every vintage presents unique opportunities to explore and express the best the fruit and terroir has to offer. To maximize vintage opportunities Highlands focuses on small lot production using inspired and uncompromised winemaking techniques. Bottling wines of intelligent and privileged character demonstrates our commitment to excellence. We at Highlands appreciate your participation in our discriminating enological experience of hand crafted wines.
Food Parings: This award winning wine has affluent varietal character with quality French oak enchantment. This California style Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with beef roasts, steak, pate, duck, goose, spicy poultry dark meat, sausage. Strong cheeses like cheddar and blue cheese are a delight with this wine. It is also delicious with chocolate.
Vintage Notes: The 2008 growing season stage was set by the dry and often cold winter. An early bud break occurred in mid to late March. Subsequent cold temperatures led to an inconsistent fruit set favoring small berries and loose clusters. The low precipitation and dry soils slowed canopy growth, enhancing grape quality. Verasion began in mid-July with fruit flavor and characters maturing ahead of sugar production. Mild weather throughout most of the summer and only occasional above 90° F temperatures in August allowed for extended gentle crop maturation. A short heat wave of above 100° F temperatures at the end of August saw sugars climb quickly but cooling fog soon dropped temperatures and leveled off sugar production. With a long and mild weather pattern in September through the beginning of October, the grapes were rewarded with stable development, unaffected by the mid-October light rains. This vintage will be noted for its concentrated and clean flavor profiles producing superior wines.
Winemaker Notes: This is a vintage with strong vineyard character captured by a controlled harvest. This allowed for traditional winemaking techniques to accomplish the production of richly structured cabernet sauvignon.
Tasting Notes: This wine has a nose that conveys a clean balance from red berries to dark fruits infused with oak caramels. The first sip reveals concentrated ripe flavors of chocolate, blackberries and black currants enhanced by smooth and textured tannins with gentle oak. A lengthy finish carries the ripe and complex gifts of the grape.
Cellaring: Savor the wine now or put it down to be enjoyed over the decade ahead.
Technical Data:
Fermentation: Small Stainless Steel Tanks
Blend Varietals: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
Blend Appellation: 100% Napa Valley
Oak Aging: 18 months in 33% new French Oak barrels
Production: 900 Case

As the wind-fueled flames crept closer, Black Forest residents gathered their animals and most cherished possessions and headed north.
Urgent mandatory evacuation notices were issued June 12 and 13 with such abruptness that some people were unable to return home to load up their pets and livestock. Many animals escaped with their lives thanks to the kindness of firefighters and neighbors who cut fences so the creatures would not be trapped. Other volunteers traveled from Franktown, Parker and Elizabeth with horse trailers to see if they could lend a helping hand.
Dozens of horses were taken to the Colorado Horse Park, just south of Parker, and others were brought to the Elbert County Fairgrounds, where volunteers who had worked the previous weekend at the Elizabeth Stampede were pitching in.
As of the afternoon of June 17, firefighters had the Black Forest Fire 75 percent contained. But nearly 500 homes were destroyed and 14,300 acres were scorched, which means some will never be able to go home. It was the largest of the wildfires that flared up due in part to extremely dry conditions and high winds. An exact cause has not been determined.
The fire came dangerously close to entering Douglas County, and the pre-evacuation area extended near the edge of Castlewood Canyon State Park until the threat subsided June 15.
Pet shops and boarding facilities in Parker and Castle Rock were especially busy on June 13 and 14 with customers buying food for evacuated pets.
The Colorado Horse Park, equipped with several water trucks, is in an area that has experienced wildfires throughout the years.
"This is our second-go-round at a pretty major catastrophe here in Colorado," said Brian Curry, vice president of Colorado Horse Park. "Two years ago we had the Burning Tree Fire. We had trailers lined up from around the main entrance in and around the barns. We had more trailers than horses. It was kind of neat to see that many people come together to help. We were able to extract 100-plus horses to this facility in 45 minutes."
The post-fire response is almost as impressive as the evacuation assistance. Organizers of the 2013 Solheim Cup decided to donate 15 percent of ticket sales for the remainder of June to the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Foundation, which aids firefighters and their families. With the fire raging 20 miles to the south, officials with the international women's golf tournament event felt the need to give back.
The donation is "our way of saying 'thank you,'" said Solheim Cup Tournament Director Becky Newell.

Last week, Green River baseball hosted Pinnacle in a crucial region doubleheader. The two teams split the games 8-5 and 12-11 with Pinnacle winning the opener and the Pirates the closer. Green River now finds themselves in a must win situation this Friday when they travel to Wendover to close out the season. Green river's playoff aspirations are simple, win.
If Green River defeats Wendover twice, then the Pirates will enter the 1-A playoffs as the third place team from the region. If they lose twice, the season will be over. If they split, Green River and Pinnacle will then have to play a tie breaker game probably this Saturday to see which team will go on to the tournament.
The 1-A quarterfinals will be held next Tuesday in Spanish Fork. The semifinals and finals will be held at Dixie State College in St George.
Tabiona won the region this season as they finished undefeated in region action. Tintic High finished in second place with losses only to Tabiona. Then come Green River and Pinnacle.
Zack Shaffer, according to Coach Rob Maughan, has been Green river's best player this season. Shaffer is a senior that actually transferred from Pinnacle to play his final season. Shaffer is the team's third baseman and best hitter.
Spencer Marshall has been outstanding behind the plate and a good hitter and TJ Hughes and Chance Pfander have been the top pitchers for the team.

Maria,maria, good to hear from you and I understand sometimes some jobs depending on the pay and how far you have to travel and if it is really worth it.
I have a guess you would say a temp job with Amazon working on the dock,, I start at 7;30pm and leave work at 4;30 am or maybe later if overtime is required only gonna last for a short time , but I am doing this for experience. I will be driving about 35 to 40 miles one-way. I am doing the late shift due to I gwet a $ 1 more which will help with gas, gonna see about weather conditions,, who know here in Northern nevada never knows when it will snow, glad i have a 4 wheel.
I will defintely know what happens with other jobs.
I hope that the one job will work for you,,, be good, safe, take care,have a tremendous week

Memories of Brixham
Learning To Swim
I have fond memories of Shoalstone Pool. Both my sister and I learnt to swim in this pool. i can remember a swimming gala, about the time of the photo, we had to walk around the pool and up and over the diving board, which i was frightened to do as I didn't like heights !!!! Can also remember in the winter at high tides ...Read full memory
St. Mary's Bay Holiday Camp
Hello there, how very happy I was to find these photos on here of St Mary's Bay holiday camp. I, along with my sisters and friends, had lovely holidays there in 1956, 57 and 58. What a great place it was, no Blue Coats or Red Coats to entertain you, we did all that ourselves and put a show on every week. I remember ...Read full memory
Coming to Brixham from just outside of London as an 11 year-old was a real culture shock. New smells (fish!) new sounds (seagulls) and new faces (the inhabitants of the south west certainly have distinct facial features...to say nothing of the accent). The total freedom of the countryside was something new and exciting also. Long ...Read full memory
Constructing Mayflower Ii
When I was young we would holiday in a caravan at a site near to Hollicombe in between Torquay and Brixham. As we lived in Walsall in the West Midlands this journey, by coach, was not to be undertaken lightly and a day was usually set aside to complete it. We left town early in the morning and didn't usually arrive ...Read full memory

text: In 2008, I bought my little niece a miniature tree from Target, one themed to the Disney Princesses. It seems to be one of her prized possessions, and she confided in me that she now wants a star to top it. Problem is, most stars I've seen are either too big, too heavy or both. I'm thinking LED for the weight, but I'm really at a loss. It just seems like these trees don't get toppers made in their size and weight-holding capability. Disney Princess or Fairy preferable, if anything even exists.

Jackall SK-Pop Grande
The Jackall Pop Grande is one of the latest top-of-the-line Japanese hard baits to reach the U.S. These Jackall topwaters are created using the latest materials and design technology. The prototype of each of these lures is designed on a computer to generate a 3D image. The image is then cut into the actual bait in a matter of minutes. This process allows Jackall to get the lure from idea to design to creation much faster, enabling them to get the baits into the hands of their pro staff in a matter of days or hours. This gives Jackall a great advantage; they are able to tweak a lure to perfection and present it for sale much faster than their competitors. Jackall is raising bass fishing to a whole new level with this sophisticated technology and their new materials and designs.
The Jackall Pop Grande is a beautiful popping bait with clear, attention grabbing glass eyes and detailed paint schemes. The naturally shaped mouth is cupped deeply with an extended upper rim to spit water out in front of the bait. The slightly distended belly will enable the bait to walk on lighter line. These exciting popping baits will entice heart-stopping explosions!

Comments: BEST POPPER. I have tried almost every popper I can get my hands on, this is the best I have used for sure.
From: Paul: Norman, OK 3/30/16
Comments: This has become my favorite popper! Something about it just works! Not sure if its the shape, sound, or action or all of them combined but it flat out outfishes all the other poppers in my box including ricos, g-splash, and my beloved sugoi splash poppers! It would be a mistake not to have at least one in your arsenal.
From: Justin: Huntington Beach, CA
Comments: looks like a great bait just bought three of them can't wait to try them out on smallies on st.croix
From: Josh: Lakeland, MN
Comments: Best popper Ive used in my life. Ive thrown rebel, strike king, xcalibur, etc. This is definitely the best. Great color options, best action, great durability, nice hooks.
Comments: I have fished poppers for years and from all the major brands. The SK-Pop Grande has been a true top producer with detailed finishes and excellent durability it is a superb bait. Often times it will be taken on the drop or while sitting static on the surface. A great bait for river Smallies producing large fish often and consistently. Well worth the investment for a great topwater lure.
From: Rory: Windsor, CA
Comments: DO NOT BUY THIS BAIT! Cause then I can continue to hammer fish on this popper! Simply one of the best lures I've ever owed, on the first morning I tied it on it has been producing quality fish. I have a hard time putting it down, well worth the money!
From: Brian: Yuma, AZ
Comments: Incredible product. Best popper I've ever owned. Caught 10 fish in an hour. Most of them hammered it the moment it hit the water. I have never fished a lure this consistent for creating strikes. It's worth every dime.
From: Zach: Pittsylvania, VA
Comments: This is a great Bait. It moves the perfect amount water, it wont put a huge pop of there. You can also walk it and that's a big plus when it is in tight to cover. I have caught well over 50 fish on this bait in the last month. A+
From: Andrew: SoCal
Comments: Plop Plop Plop! Makes a great racket and moves the water. Typical Jackall quality - great hooks, finish, overall quality.

Melissa McCarthy has won over audiences with her comedic performances and warm Midwestern charm, but the Oscar-nominated actress admits that a scathing film review earlier this year that referred to her as "tractor-sized," could have a negative impact on young girls who might not conform to the traditional definition of Hollywood beauty, People reports.
In an new interview with The New York Times, Ms. McCarthy spoke out for the first time about the criticism, saying her initial reaction was "Really?" followed by, "Why would someone OK that?"
The review -- written in February by Rex Reed of the New York Observer, who panned the film "Identity Thief" and called Ms. McCarthy a "female hippo" and a "gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious" -- drew criticism nationwide.
Ms. McCarthy, 42, said that if the review appeared when she was 20, "It may have crushed me."
But now, in "a strange epidemic of body image and body dysmorphia," she said comments like that "just add to all those younger girls, that are not in a place in their life where they can say, 'That doesn't reflect on me.' "
Controversy aside, Ms. McCarthy enjoys a robust career and family life with husband Ben Falcone and daughters Vivian, 6, and Georgette, 3 -- even if she admits to feeling "intensely guilty" as a working mom.
"I just thought, that's someone who's in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot," said Ms. McCarthy, who next appears in "The Heat" alongside new pal Sandra Bullock.
"I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids who are mooning me and singing me songs."people

Emery County Commission Chairman Gary Kofford says a decision has been made not to accept an offer by Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance to help finance a public lands planning facilitator position. At the Emery County Public Lands Council meeting on Feb. 2, the concept of co-funding the planning position was discussed, with strong opposition to the concept being expressed.
Commissioner Kofford states "this was an opportunity to incorporate some alternative funding in the land use planning process, however, due to opposition expressed to the proposal, it is no longer considered a viable option, it's no longer on the table. Most stakeholders have expressed support for hiring a facilitator, but with other funding sources. Emery County did not budget for this position so supplemental funding of some sort may be necessary should we move on this."
Emery County Public Lands Chairman Bruce Wilson adds, "The council voted on this proposal in the Lands Council Meeting on Tuesday, but since it was not an agenda item, the council couldn't take official action. We will properly notice it up for the next meeting where we can take proper action."
Although a contract had not been finalized for the position, the facilitator would work with public lands stakeholders, including state and federal agencies, the Public Lands Council, the County Commission, public land use advocates and others to develop a county land use plan and federal legislation that would define resource use, including wilderness designation, in Emery County. The facilitator is not a decision maker, but performs a role which assists stakeholders and decision makers in reaching an acceptable outcome.

Greedy Gays Price-Gouging Tickets to Charity Event
Every year the Christmas event for New York's A gays is the Toys for Tots benefit. Tickets are so in demand for the sold-out event that some people are now charging exorbitant rates for tickets online. What about the kids?
The party was started by Corcoran Group vice president Robby Browne 25 years ago as a way to get gays to donate toys and other gifts for needy children and seniors. Originally the event—held at Chelsea Piers with an all-important open bar—was free to anyone who brought a toy. Several years ago they started charging $30 for tickets. This year the price for the party, which is being held on Friday, went up to $50. (And yes, you still have to bring a toy.) That didn't stop the queens from buying up all the tickets, and they're still so in demand some greedy people are charging double what they paid for them on Craigslist. You try to go doing something good for the children and some people have to come along and make money off of it. Where's the holiday spirit?
"Toys for Tots" is having enough troubles. After 25 years, the Marine Corps, which runs their own Toys for Tots program and is well known for their love of the homosexuals, forced organizers to change the name. While colloquially known as "Fire Island in Sweaters," the party is now officially named Holiday Gifts for Children and Seniors. Damn, couldn't we find one PR gay to come up with a better alternative name? We'll see if that, and the exorbitant ticket prices will put a damper on the party.
