The Emery County Commissioners met in their last meeting of the year and within that meeting held their budget hearing.
Commissioner Ira Hatch emphasized the importance of beginning their commission meetings with a prayer and the flag ceremony. The commission has invited people from various denominations to take part in the prayer at the beginning of the meeting and they have had good participation.
The first matter of business was the approval of the standard cooperative agreement with the Utah State University Extension. Commissioner Hatch explained the county provides office space and secretarial help to the extension and they provide the county agent and run their programs for the county. The agreement this year is virtually the same with an increase in the travel budget due to insurance purposes.
The commission approved an ambulance write-off for an indigent party.
The Clawson mayor Carey Bloomer requested the county donate their old generator from the former sheriff's office to Clawson Town.
The commission told Mayor Bloomer that they have determined the generator will be used in outlying areas when jobs are done so they will not be able to donate the generator to Clawson to have on hand for emergency purposes at this time.
Personnel Director Mary Huntington asked for approval to begin advertising for two part-time positions at the Museum of the San Rafael. Willard Young will be retiring from the museum on Dec. 31 and a position for a part time maintenance and grounds keeper will need to be filled. The county recently hired Adam Wayman to fill a position at the landfill.
The commission also approved a contract for insurance with the Utah Local Government Trust. An added incentive they offered the county was a freeze on rates for the next three years.
The commission approved the resolution amending the Emery County Resolution No. 4-6-99A providing the disbursement of mineral lease funds to the special service districts in Emery County.
The funds are allocated on a percentage basis to the following entities: Emery County Special Service District #1, roads, 40 percent; Castle Valley Special Service District, 13 percent; Emery County Recreation District, 8 percent; Emery County Fire District 8 percent; North Emery Water 2 percent; Emery County Municipal Building Authority 29 percent. Each of these districts provide services to the county.
Road department director, Morris Sorensen said he had approached the special service district #1 concerning the need for small plows for the trucks. They have purchased one sander and a plow. The State no longer plows Goblin Valley and with the purchase of the small plow it can be hooked to the one ton truck in Green River and take care of Goblin Valley and Long Street. The commission approved the agreement with the road district and the road department.
The county recorders office has received a grant to get the information online for three cemeteries including: Lawrence, Desert Lake and Victor. Bernice Payne has agreed to compile the records for these cemeteries and the in-kind match required will be the volunteer workers. They have also received an oral history grant to record the cultural history of the San Rafael. They will record what the older generation knows about the Swell, before I-70 opened it to the world.
Commissioner Hatch said it is a worthy project to find the names of all the people buried in the cemeteries. GIS coordinates will also be established and maps printed out with the cemetery layouts. The Emery High Sterling Scholars are also working on the cemetery projects.
The commission approved the holiday schedule for the county employees for 2007. Holidays include: Jan. 1, Jan. 15, Feb. 19, May 28, July 4, July 24, Sept. 3, Oct. 8, Nov. 12, Nov. 22, Nov. 23, Dec. 24, 1/2 day and Dec. 25.
The commission approved the new mileage reimbursement rate for 2007 as 44.5 cents per mile.
Emery County will receive another grant for mapping because they have already completed the work and will just need to send the contract into the state for their approval. The work is done upfront and the state reimburses the county for the money spent.
Commissioner Hatch said, "Emery County has been very proactive getting their cadastral mapping done.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said the state parks has agreed to put a dock at Joe's Valley where a low water boat ramp was installed two years ago. The US Forest Service will be the boat dock manager and the county will provide a backhoe for the installation of the new boat dock in the spring. The dock will be 16 feet long and 8 feet wide with a walkway on rollers. The dock will be pulled out of the water each winter.
Other items added on for purchase included the money for the salt shed for the road department, roofing for the courthouse and the walk-in refrigerator repair at the the sheriff's complex.
Commissioner Hatch reported the senior citizen Christmas party had gone well and was well attended by the seniors. Maughn Guymon, director for the seniors commented the seniors had enjoyed the party and thanked the commission for putting it on for them.
Commissioner Sitterud said they are in the process of an agreement with the school district for the transfer of property for the new pool facility. The school district will have free use of the pool for their swim team and also two days a year will bring every student in the county including Green River to use the pool. The school district will provide a janitor and their own lifeguards on these occasions. The district may also use the pool for an incentive program for students receiving good grades who might be rewarded with pool passes.
Darrel Leamaster, manager of the Castle Valley Special Service District said the road to the pool will be completed in 2007.
Design work on the pool will begin in earnest in January.
The commission meeting went into the public hearing to amend the 2006 budget. This was done and needed adjustments were made.
Leamaster also explained the changes in the CVSSD budget where the CIB had granted them additional grant money to deal with increased construction costs on their projects. The amended budget reflects this added amount.
The commission approved the 2006 amended budgets.
The public hearing was then held for public input on the 2007 budget. This budget includes the $100,000 tax increase approved by voters at the November election for the yearly maintenance of the pool. The 2007 budget also includes a 4 percent cost of living increase for elected officials and a two step increase for other county employees which equates to approximately a 4 percent cost of living increase.
In the public hearing process it was determined that the $5 million received by the CIB for the pool building should be reflected in the budget. The commission approved the 2007 with the addition of the pool money.

great gym shoes
"I wear a 7.5 in women and fit in the 6 in these. At first they felt a bit snug; but after a 5-6 mile walk they were broken-in and much more comfortable. They are not quite as great as women's size running sneakers but they are perfect for the gym. Also, I love the colors."

14 More Sleeps!
December 12 2010 05:54AM
There was a time in this fair land when the World Juniors did not run. The annual post-Christmas tournament is in Buffalo this year and Oiler fans will be rewarded once again with prospects present and future.
Team Canada begins its camp today. The roster is here. There are two Oiler prospects in the mix:
- G Olivier Roy looked good at the summer camp and would have to be considered a favorite to at least make the team. Calvin Pickard's strong WHL season may give him the edge for the starting job.
- Big winger Curtis Hamilton is in the top 10 in WHL scoring and stands a good chance at making this year's tournament. There aren't many returning forwards and Hamilton's size/skill combination should get him a long look from the coaches.
Once again the Canadian squad will have two or three exceptional draft eligibles at the camp. Several of these kids are can't miss prospects and all of them are on the Oilers radar:
- C Sean Couturier. 6.03, 192. Big winger is very likely #1 on the Oilers list for 2011. Ranks 3rd in QMJHL scoring (32gp, 16-35-51) and looks like that big C the Oilers have been searching for since trading Jason Arnott. If there's one player at this tournament we should get to know it's Couturier. At this point he's probably headed to the Islanders (better there than Calgary) but you never know.
- C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. 6.0, 166. 31gp, 8-33-41 is good enough for 11th in WHL scoring. Ridiculous puck skills make him a lottery pick and scouts have been doing the same thing all season: going in worrying over his lack of size and coming out dazzled by his wizardry. This could be a big tournament for RNH. If he posts a strong number, it could carry him to the #2 pick.
- D Ryan Murphy 5.11, 176. 28gp, 13-31-44 in the OHL (good enough for a 9th place tie in league scoring, he leads all defensemen). This is a player Oiler fans should watch closely. Quality puck moving defender, if he makes the team it'll be an upset (Canada is stacked along the blue) but he looks like a game breaker.
There are some terrific Oiler prospects from other countries who we may see in Buffalo. Here are three:
- C Anton Lander (Sweden): He went 6gp, 5-3-8 at last year's WJs and is having a fine season in the SEL (30gp, 7-7-14 E) with Timra. He is a strong candidate for center on the Oilers moving forward.
- D Martin Marincin (Slovakia): 6gp, 0-2-2 -3 a year ago; he turned heads at the tournament and should be even better with a year's experience. I'll be interested to see how much offense he brings considering his breakout season in the WHL.
- R Toni Rajala (Finland) Scored 6gp, 1-2-3 last season and impressed with his speed. Rajala's SM-Liiga season is only average so far (20gp, 5-5-10) but he has tremendous talent and should impact the WJ's.
NOTE: Selections haven't been made for these countries (and others), so this is a select list. There are other names who may be included by the time the WJ's arrive, this is not meant to be a comprehensive list of Oiler prospects who'll play at the World Juniors this season.
There are about three times a year when I say "this is my favorite time of year": trade deadline, draft day and the world junior's. They're all like Christmas for hockey fans, with the WJ having the added advantage of sliding into a holiday period for many of us. Oiler fans have much to look forward to this season, at the NHL level and below. The world junior championships should be no exception.

my father died early this year, and the last game we ever watched together was the canada v usa WJC final... when canada was down by 2 with a few minutes to play i joked to dad "watch, eberle will score twice", we both laughed
even though we lost that game, i'll remember it for the rest of my life... probably a lot more fondly than most canadians will
I remember my first hockey game with my dad, went to see Andy Brown (last goalie to play without a mask) and the Indianapolis Racers. My father got me a job with Northlands and never had to pay to get into the building again. He passed away a week before the Grey Cup, sports was pretty much the only thing that brought us together, CFL was always a bridge to the next hockey season.

I would say that Gagner Eberle Hall and Pajjarrvi are untouchables. Was wondering though if anyone would trade Hall for Tavares straight up. I don't think I would do that deal myself
I wouldn't, but that's only because of the way Hall skates. I think Tavares is a great player too, he's just in an awful situation right now. Gretzky in his prime couldn't help that team, and most of it isn't the players' faults.
Even if the Islanders somehow become mediocre in the future instead of god awful, I wonder if Tavares becomes the next Rick Nash, by which I mean a great player that everyone forgets about because he plays for a crappy team. Then suddenly you see him on Team Canada and think, "Hot damn, I really like the way that guy plays."

My question might be silly but...
How come did Kakashi survive? I mean, he had fallen next to Rin with his face to the ground when some kind of bloody fountain appeared after Obito's rampage. Kakashi needs oxygen like everyone, doesn't he? ^^"
My question might be silly but...
How come did Kakashi survive? I mean, he had fallen next to Rin with his face to the ground when some kind of bloody fountain appeared after Obito's rampage. Kakashi needs oxygen like everyone, doesn't he? ^^"
And this is how kakashi became feared among nations as the "sharingan no kakashi". Obito left, leaving kakashi with all the mist ninja dead and reinforcements arrive: Oh kakashi killed all the anbu alone!!! he's a legend! let's let him in our anbu and let's spread among the countries his name as one of our most dangerous shinobi!
The Mist were already being called "The Bloody Mist" before Obito became "Madara". Now IF the "Bloody Mist" Monika was as a result of someone controlling the former Mitzu-Kage, does this mean that the real Madara, had already taken control of the Mist before Obito joined up with Madara?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
As for Obito, couple of things:
1. Its interesting that he was using his MS eye so effectively on reflex alone, not to mention the mokuton abilities. Obito definitely had some latent talent that just needed the proper motivation and circumstances to bring out.
2. Looks like Rin was some sort of spy, that or had something the Mist ninja were to retrieve.
3. Nagato utilized the black rods as well, and produced them from his body, just like Obito did. I'm guessing they relate to the Senju/Uchiha combination that Obito currently is.
4. I think Obito's rampage was all Obito, and not the swirly-mask Zetsu. The Zetsu clone was surprised that Obito could use the jutsu so quickly. I think all the clone was doing was protecting Obito's identity when it covered his head.
Doesn't she have red hair in the color pages? Like the uzumaki clan.... perhaps the mist ninja knew this clan and their characteristics too.
Either way nice chapter! Loved the pool of blood and the rain of the blood, nice way to kill all those ninja too, crushed and ground up in roots and wood. I wish Yamato would be that brutal sometimes
A pie in the sky?
Awakening of the EMS:
All you need was there. Even though not in the way we are used to:
. eye transplant
. killing the one you like most (Rin for both Kakashi and Obito)
. the two eyes (even though not on the same person, they were at a close distance, which looks to be sufficient)
True that Kakashi was supposed to have awaken the EMS much later and thanks to a small trick:
- as he collapsed he probably didn't realise that he had just awaken it.
- as he was later away from Obito he probably didn't have the possibility anymore to use it
- The small trick was probably discovered while making a clone. Kakashi had then 2 eyes (one per clone) and the EMS could activate. Then the small trick could be to store the clone of the eye permanently inside his body.
Jinchuuriki inner dimension.
The place Obito is ending in, looks like the inner place where the jinchuuriki can speak to their tailed beast. Would that be the place to talk to the 10-tails? If it is it would explain why the place is empty. There is no more a 10-tails as it was split in smaller beasts. So not possible to meet him and talk to him. The body of the 10-tails still exists (inside the moon). As the body exists, the inner place could still exist (even though empty). Letting see the moon that much is really a call to think about the 10-tails.
Kakashi fainting:
Ha ha. Fainting was a nice move. Best way to keep a low profile and avoid to be the first victim of the rampage.
You mean, Yamato/Tenzou the Chopped Wood ? Nah, not gonna happen, unless his mind gets twisted from being stuck in that statue... ah right, I forgot to give a new nickname. From now on, it's Obito the Twisted Branch . I guess this would make: Hashirama the Blooming Flower and Madara the Flower's Reflection, ah yes Danzou... hmmmm the Withered Root ?
It's not even funny how many user of Mokuton there exactly are now, it's probably the most common kekkei genkai in Naruto, since over 100,000 beings have it .
Speaking of defeating Tobi and Madara, well if Kabuto comes to the Light side, he might give Naruto the poison that neutralizes Mokuton, that would help a lot ;0.
You know another plot hole from this chapter....
once you awaken the MS you eyes sight is suppose to deteriorate soooo Kakashi never noticed his eye sight getting worse?

Technology News for Entering Students
June 14th, 2012
Welcome to Smith! Here are eight important things you need to know before you arrive on campus in the fall:
1. Smith Mail: Smith uses Smith Mail (powered by Google Apps for Education) for email. Here's how to log in to your Smith Mail account:
– Open a Web browser (Chrome recommended) and go to: http://mail.smith.edu/
– In the Smith Mail login window, enter your Smith Mail username and password.
– If prompted to accept a usage agreement, click Yes.
Your username is usually the first letter of your first name (or your preferred name, if you specified one), followed by up to 19 letters of your last name. (For example, Anna Reyerson's username would be areyerson.)
Your initial password is the last 4 digits of your 9-digit Smith ID number plus the first 4 characters of your username. (For example, if Anna Reyerson's ID number was 991234567, her initial password would be 4567arey.)
Note that passwords must be at least 8 characters long. If your full username has fewer than 4 characters, use your full username with the last letter repeated as the second part of your initial password. (For example, Diane Li's username is dli and her Smith ID number is 991223344, so her initial password would be 3344dlii.)
If your username and password combination doesn't work, it could be because your username is an exception to the rule. (Exceptions are required when more than one person has the same first initial and last name.)
For assistance, send email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call the User Support Center at (413) 585-4487. The USC is open weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM during the summer.
Important: Smith Mail is an official communication channel at Smith and you are expected to read all messages sent to your Smith Mail account by college faculty and staff. Be sure to test your Smith Mail login soon so we can help you resolve any problems before you come to campus.
2. Password resets: Once you have successfully logged in to Smith Mail once, we recommend resetting your password to something harder for a hacker to guess, such as intermingled letters and numbers (e.g., 7t9x3v44).
To reset your password, click here. Note that your new password will work for Smith Mail, the Moodle course management system (see below), the campus wired and wireless networks, and Smith's library databases.
You can also get to the password-reset page by clicking on the Reset Password link in the green bar at the top of the TARA home page. The TARA web site (Technology And Resource Adviser) is a good place to visit in any case, since it's chock full of information about using technology at Smith.
3. Moodle: Many Smith instructors and programs use the Moodle course management system. To log in to Moodle, go to http://moodle.smith.edu/. Your Moodle username and password are the same as your Smith Mail username and password.
4. Smith Residence Network: If you will be living in a Smith residence house, be sure to read about connecting to the Smith Residence Network (ResNet).
5. Buying a new computer: If you're planning to buy a new computer before you come to Smith, visit the the Smith Computer Store web page.
6. Preparing a Windows computer: Windows users, we strongly recommend doing the following before you come to campus:
- Install all Important and Critical Windows updates: To check the status of your Windows updates, open Internet Explorer and go to Tools, then Windows Update. When the update window opens and completes its check, click the Express button to download and install the recommended updates. If you are missing multiple updates, you may need to restart your computer and repeat this process several times to get all the updates you need.
- Install CCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from the Smith software download site. These two programs can help clean up your computer if it is compromised by malware. It is much easier to remove malware from your computer if these programs are installed before it is attacked.
7. Anti-virus Software: All students should have anti-virus software installed on their computer. Once you know your Smith Mail username and password, you can download a free copy of McAfee VirusScan for Windows or Mac from the Smith software download site.
Before you install McAfee VirusScan, check to see if you have any other anti-virus software installed on your computer, such as Norton AntiVirus, Sophos, AVG, etc. If you do, you can continue using that software if you wish. If you want to switch to McAfee VirusScan, you must un-install your other anti-virus program (even a trial version of McAfee) before you install VirusScan, or VirusScan won't work properly.
8. Wireless network: Smith students can access the campus wireless network in almost every academic and administrative building as well as the residence houses. Click here to learn more about connecting to the wireless network.
Questions? If you have questions about any of the information in this TechNotes post, please call the Smith User Support Center at 413-585-4487 any weekday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, or send us email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Special to The Chronicle
Wilson County Director of Schools Mike Davis is being considered for a similar job in Robertson County, The Wilson Post learned Tuesday.
Although Davis said it would be "presumptuous" of him to comment on the job opportunity at present time, he did confirm that he is one of five candidates to be interviewed for the director position.
"I have not heard anything official," he said.
Davis announced his resignation from his current role in Wilson County at the school board's December 2012 meeting, effective when his contract expires on June 30. The Board of Education accepted the resignation with a 5-0 vote.
At the December meeting, Davis, who has served in Wilson County for almost six years, said that he was going to "take some time" to think about his next professional move – and it appears that he has his sights set on Robertson County.
The Board of Education voted at its meeting Monday night to establish a timetable for hiring Davis' replacement. The board will be accepting applications for the position from now until March 22.
"They are planning to hopefully have someone named by the May school board meeting," Davis added.
Chairman Don Weathers said that Wayne Qualls of Teams Inc. will be collecting the resumes and narrowing job candidates down to four finalists by April 12. The first round of interviews will take place on April 20, narrowing it down to two finalists for the second round of interviews on April 27.
The Board also honored longtime 98.9 WANT "Coleman & Company" host and insurance salesman Coleman Walker with a Community Partnership Award for his efforts to promote the school system through radio.
Walker said that the school system does a lot with youth education, adult education and, of course, athletics. "I am very appreciative of the recognition. From my perspective education is so important and I am glad to help publicize that here on the radio," he added.
Wilson Post Staff Writer Sabrina Garrett may be contacted at email@example.com.

"FORMER" A+??? On Neptune, maybe. Shit. If selling out Madison Square Garden once a month INDEFINITELY doesn't cut it, just what the hell does one have to do these days to be A+?
Apparently, today is my day to complain about the rating system. I'll ease up tomorrow, I promise, but dagnabbit, Billy Joel is the epitome of Living Legend and he's selling more records now than he ever has.ReplyCancel
Paul McCartney is former A+ around here too. Yet Channing Potatotum is A+ for movies and his BFF Jonah Hill unfortunately is an AReplyCancel
Former – A-plus??!!?!?! Oh, come on Enties. You're joking, right.
Billy Joel is and always will be A-plus.
And sidenote, his XM station is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more enjoyable than Springsteen's. Sorry, Bruce.
Kills my music teacher soul that music is being cut from so many schools.
We're going to see Billy Joel play in Philly this August. Yay!ReplyCancel
I have always said if I ever get rich, I'm going to give away a lot of money to charity. If I can give about $150 a month to charities when I get about $700, consider what I'd do with multi millions lol

Comments: I had this string at 60 lbs on a oversize Wilson racquet at 9.9 oz and 3 head heavy. To me this wasn't a good combo for this racquet. The string does cut into the ball well at 17g and gives very good spin but this particular racquet may be a bit light for 60lbs/17g and it invited mishits for me to compensate on depth/pace. Slices were very crisp, accurate and spin-laden essentially putting the brakes on the ball when it hit the court surface. A good aspect of the string. After several hours of hitting maybe 12 hours or so, the string has gone very soft. It squishes and the ball spins and flies long. I wouldn't say this string holds it tension properties well.
From: Scott, 4/12
Comments: Nice string for the buck, using Pro Staff 85 62lbs tension. Very good string in my opinion. Solid 5.0 but this string only lasted 5 games for me.
From: Anon, 09/08
Comments: I really like this string. I bought a stringer from my friend and he
gave me few strings with the machine. I said let me try it. I really like it so far and it's cheap! I
have a Dunlop 300g 98. For the money, it's good for me.
From: Jsanchez, Rockland,NY,USA. 02/05
Comments: I'm using a Wilson Hammer H Tour and tried the Synthetic Gut 17
recently for a change from my usual Wilson Nxt's and Sensation Supremes, and found it not
up to my expectations. There is practically no feel whatsoever, and it is too hard for my liking.
My slice serves went haywire. Not really recommended unless one is on a tight budget.
From: Mark,Singapore. 09/04
Comments: I strung my Wilson ProStaff Tour 90 with this after using Babolat XL
Premium. The Gamma Synthetic 17 felt dead and hard by comparison. I also have a sore
shoulder. I lost a significant amount of control, feel and the sweet spot disappeared with
Gamma synthetic. I love the ProStaff Tour 90 which is a stiff racquet, but synthetic gut does
not make a good combination. You can save money with synthetic gut, but you only get what
you pay for. I'm a solid 4.5.
From: John, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. 12/03
Comments: This string is very good for baseline players and hard servers. It
lasted 2 months for me and I play very aggressive with it every single day.
From: Khoa, Sunnyvale, CA, USA. 6/03
Comments: I really enjoy the feel of this string but the durability is horrible. I buy
it because it's cheap and can't find anything in a 17 gauge that lasts longer. I have tried
several Prince strings and Gamma Gut 2 and 3. Since I string my own racquet it doesn't cost
me much to have fresh strings. I don't like the feel of a16 gauge string.
From: Frank, Tucson, AZ. USA 12/02
Comments: I recently bought a Head Ti Radical mid and had Gamma Synthetic
Gut 17g. strings put on at 60lbs, since I usually use 17g. string and wanted to try something
new. Unfortunately, I made a bad choice since these strings did not live up to my
expectation. I've been playing with it about 4 times a week, 2 sets a night, and it's been 2
weeks. These strings lost tension about after 5 days and will soon break due to the
presence of "pot holes" on the strings. It did play pretty well the first 4 sets, nice on the arm,
powerful and had acceptional spin. But I'm compelled to continue experimenting with other
17g. I usually hit flat first serves and kickers on the 2nd. I'm usually a baseliner and my
ground strokes are usually topspin.

Drama Teacher Could be a Millionaire
A Richland drama teacher is competing for a chance to win a million bucks in a special edition of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."
Josh Darby is in the hot seat in New York City on the "Millionaire's Countdown to the Oscars Show." And it's all about the movie trivia.
Darby says he entered a contest on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Facebook page. He says it was plain dumb luck that he won a spot on national television.
"Who knew this could even happen. Not me for sure.. I just thought I was winning a chance to be in a draw, and it turns out I already won!" said Darby.
Darby does have a day job, which he says may have prepared him for this exact type of trivia. He is a show director for the Academy of Children's Theatre in Richland.
He admits loves anything related to movies, theater or television.
"My movie knowledge is finally paying off. And so that's awesome. I love that my (drama) kids get to share in it with me and stuff like that and they're really super supportive - like dude we're so looking forward to it. And I'm like - I know, it's pretty cool."
Josh won a three day all expenses paid trip to the big apple. He was treated to Broadway play, he met Meredith Vieira, and he was lucky enough to take his mom along with him.
Darby couldn't give us any details about how much money he won... but he did say he's featured at the end of tonight's show, and will return tomorrow for the beginning of another show.

1/2 Smaller and Narrow through the Toes
"After reading the other reviews on this item, I order these shoes in a 1/2 size bigger than I normally wear. The bling is very understated and I wish it wasn't. They fit perfect in length, but there is an issue where the shoe rounds out around the toes. I think they are cut too low and they hit across the bone on the side of my foot, and of course that is where the inner and outer potions of the shoe are sewn together. I am going to keep the shoes (they're too cute), but I know I'm going to have blisters breaking them in."

So close
"I spent 45 minutes comparing comfortable yet cute shoes on the DSW website. This combination always manages to allude me in real life. When I saw these cutie pies I thought I'd hit the jackpot. I should have kept looking. It took three days for the shoes to feel comfortable around the heel- which is normal- but they're just a tad too short in the length of the foot. I wore them for a full day of out and about and my toes felt terrible afterwards. This is in addition the problem of the side of the shoes digging into the area beneath my big toe which i think means that the wasn't wide enough for me. So the shoe was too small in every way just by a hair. I through out the original packaging so they shan't be returned. I guess I'll wait for a lucky benefactor of these super cute shoes."

Girl Scout Troop 8454 is a troop combined of 4 schools in the Mobile area, mostly St Lukes Episcopal School. We feel our success stems from a multi-level approach of opening many doors for girls in order for them to explore the avenues of personal and academic growth outside of the boundaries of school.
This year we adopted water as our theme. Friday, Nov 1, 2013 was our first venture to navigate these waters (pun intended!) of how what we drink gets from the atmosphere to our homes, via pumping stations. With the help of MAWSS (Mobile Area Water & Sewer System) we were able to get a private tour of S. Palmer Gaillard Pumping Station and accompanying Converse Reservoir (Big Creek Lake).
We learned that this pumping station was created in order to serve the growing population of greater Mobile from the 1950's. The 3600-acre storage lake has 26 miles of shoreline, is fed by 5 creeks and is connected to the pumping station.
We learned that when the lake fills with too much water, the nearby spillway gates open and release the extra water. We also learned that after water is pumped into the station, it leaves through 60-inch pipes and goes to one of two treatment facilities to make the water drinkable. Last, we learned by modeling how different forms of pollution affect watersheds and the area in which we live and play.
This event was a wonderful STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) opportunity because we learned that gravity assists moving water to the treatment facilities (science), the importance of pumps in generating the initial movement to the facilities (technology), the use of dams and spillways to allow or refrain water movement (engineering) and math because we calculated that the 26 miles of lakeshore to be over 450 football fields.
A great big thanks to Mr. Benny White and Mrs. Lucinda Sully at MAWSS for taking their time to teach us about water!

John Heubusch, executive director of The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, told an audience gathered Tuesday night at Reagan's presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif., that the former first lady wouldn't attend a speech by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., "on doctor's orders."
Reagan son blasts purported sale of father's blood
"She's fine but still nursing some broken ribs from a fall that several of you heard about weeks ago," Heubusch said.
Heubusch said that Reagan, 90, fell about six weeks ago, according to The Associated Press. Her presence has been a fixture at many events hosted by the presidential library. Last September, she attended an event featuring remarks by Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
In 2009, Reagan broke her pelvis in a fall at her home and had to be hospitalized.

We're currently building a home with one of the "custom homebuilders" in our area. We've been schedualed to move in mid june '04. One of the features that we've asked for is rough-in plumbing for a future 3pc bathroom (tub/shower, toilet & sink). When the basement floor was poured, an 8" round access hole was placed in the cement for the tub drain. The access hole is not in the location specified in the blueprints for the drain, nor is it above the under-slab pipe. To confirm my measurements, I cracked out the gravel in the hole until I found the pipe, which happens to be several inches to the side of the access hole. The builder has responded that the customer must break the cement out when the bathroom is developed, and that this is standard industry practice. Are they making this up to avoid fixing the problem? Shouldn't the access hole have been placed over the pipe at the location specified in the blueprints?

|In response to Re: Squirrels eating lead vent stack covers
Are you sure???? lead is just as bad for squirrels as it is for humans. They don't generaly bother it. lead stack covers generaly wear out at or near the top where they fold over the pipe. Rain, wind, dust, etc wear thru the lead in an irregular pattern. This could look like little teeth marks in some cases.
We have thousands of squirrels in my front yard (well maybe only hundreds) and they show no inclination to eat lead.
: Squirels are chewing up the seven lead vent stack covers on my house roof. It is not possible to prevent their access to the roof nor is repelant or any thing which has to be reaplied practical. I am due for a reroof and was wondering about copper or galvanized metal vent stack covers as replacements, or if I have to go with lead is there some kind of paint which may be effective. The vent pipes are cast iron and are 1.5 and 2 inch size.

IHRSA is asking fitness professionals across the nation to spend two minutes on www.change.gov to share their unique insight about the power of exercise and prevention. Our industry must tell them that exercise and prevention must be a part of any healthcare reform and the effort to create a healthier America. Take a few minutes to visit http://change.gov/agenda/health_care_agenda to learn more about the Obama-Biden plan and to tell them that physical activity is a critical part of prevention and health care reform. Here are a few things to consider: You are an expert. You are on the frontlines of the battle against inactivity and obesity every day. Share with them a powerful story about how exercise has benefitted the people in your community. Clubs are employers. In these tough economic times, the incoming Administration should be hearing how the health club industry is not only making America healthier but is employing many people. Share stories about the employees at the health club you run or work at. It's about you. This is about sharing your thoughts, stories, and experience. A little help. If you'd like a little guidance, here are some points to consider for your message. Ask the incoming Administration to: Recognize that physical activity is integral to prevention Do all that it can to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles Remove barriers to physical activity To learn more and read IHRSA's Vision for a Healthier American, please visit www.ihrsa.org.
