|In response to Re: American Standard wall hung toilet
I haven't checked the dimensions, but normally all the wall hungs have the same carrier dimensions, and are interchangeable.
: Having a terrible time replacing wall hung toilet in my master bathroom. Took out an American Standard "Glenwall" that was in terrible condition. In September I ordered through a local plumbing supply co. the American Standard #2093.100 wall hung toilet that they are supposedly now manufacturing. In Sept both American Standard the the plumbing supply co. said it would take 8 weeks. 9 weeks later the plumbing supply company says American Standard ran into a problem with this toilet and is not producing it, American Standard says it is producing it but production is slow. Don't know who to believe. The way I understand it my only other option is to switch to a Kohler wall hung which would require a different carrier. No one has mentioned to me the Crane Rexmont wall hung 3-217 toilet on your web site here. Can that replace the American Standard Glenwall without changing the carrier?

Poor Quality
"The sole of the shoe has started coming apart from the body of the shoe after 3 months of wear. It unfortunate that I have had to write to bad reviews because of shoes I have purchased for my son. I thought that the quality of a Kenneth Cole shoe would be much better."

Excellent shoe!
"I've purchased these twice before for my son and they are the only loafers he'll wear. The padding on the back of the heal make them super comfortable unlike the Sperry loafers which gave my son blisters. Plus the insoles are more comfy too. The sole of the shoe is rubber and great for boys who like to run around even when they are dressed up. I would definitely recommend this shoe as they look great and wear so well even when the little boy in them isn't so gentle!"

For the past 100 years in Kentucky, project work has been the backbone of 4-H and it's "learn by doing" motto. 4-H members have entered their completed projects for county and state fairs, many of which they have later worn, used in the home or in early years, used on the farm.
Approximately 175 4-H and FFA members from 17 counties competed in the Washington Co. Invitational Livestock Judging Contest held at the Washington Co. Livestock Center on March 14. The annual event is sponsored by the Washington County Fair Board and conducted by the local 4-H and FFA programs. The contest, held at the Washington County Livestock Center, is the first to be held each year to help prepare youth statewide for livestock judging competition.
The premise that 4-H was founded on over 100 years ago was to teach life skills to young people they could use throughout their lives and to be successful in their career choice. One 4-H project that has achieved this goal is the 4-H Talk Meet program.
We have several programs to discuss that will be of interest to many people. A class for Microprocessor Certification, a contest for best "Presidential Cake" and "Butter Cookie," and a class on sewing are scheduled for April. Of course, we have many other classes and programs at the extension office during the month but these are the ones to emphasize in this column.
This week I have several things I wanted to let everyone know about, as well as some gardening chores that should or should not be done now. It is time to uncover roses and strawberries but you should keep your mulch or covering material handy especially for the strawberries in case we have a late spring freeze. After pulling the covering off of the roses you should incorporate a ½ cup or so of 10-10-10 around each bush to give them a little extra boost for their spring flush. After about four weeks give them another dose to keep them fed. It takes a lot of en
Saturday, March 21 was a special day for Washington County 4-H as several hundred people attended the Centennial Celebration for Kentucky 4-H at the River of Life Community Church.
Gov. Steve Beshear has proclaimed Friday, March 20, the first day of spring, as Agriculture Day in Kentucky.
"Kentucky's rural heritage and traditional values are embodied in the hard work of Kentucky farm families," said Gov. Beshear. "I urge all Kentuckians to support agriculture and join me as we salute this important industry," stated Gov. Beshear.
Perennial rye grass, annual rye grass, Italian rye grass, and even cereal rye. It's enough to confuse anyone.
Interest in rye grass has increased in our area in recent years. But there is much confusion because there are many different types of rye grass.
"Come back to the County Fair" on Saturday, March 21, as Washington County celebrates Kentucky 4-H's 100th Anniversary with a Centennial Celebration at the River of Life Community Church from 10 to 2 p.m. The public is invited to attend the celebration with all activities and food priced at 25 cents. Horse rides, a petting zoo, shooting gallery, children's games, cotton candy, popcorn, hot dogs and birthday cake will all be part of the day designed to include the entire family. The doors will open at 10 a.m. with the opening ceremony at 10:15 a.m.
Now that the economy has slid into decline and money is tighter it seems it's time for us to get back to the basics.

Neal Spencer, British Museum
Excavating ancient houses in the Nile Valley typically yields masses of pottery, simple stone tools and other modest objects.
Though unspectacular, these provide an important insight into the technologies, dietary customs and even religious beliefs of the ancient inhabitants, and sometimes help tell us how different spaces were used.
Occasionally, however, a more spectacular find appears. Last season, digging the back room of a narrow three-roomed house dating to the time of Ramesses III or shortly after (around 1150 BC), the windblown sand parted to reveal a small sandstone bust of a male figure, still perched atop the pedestal constructed to support it.
Only 29.2cm high, the bust shows a male figure with a short wig. Remnants of blue and red paint on the chest and upper back suggest he was shown wearing a collar of beads and pendants.
Around 150 similar ancestor busts have been found – some are on display in the British Museum but this one is unusual in being found where the ancient inhabitants had placed it.
Not all were placed in houses: some come from near temples, chapels and even tombs. Inscribed stelae show individuals offering to similar busts, and it has been suggested that these allowed the living to communicate and request the intervention of the deceased in earthly matters (disease, disputes and so on).
Four examples are inscribed with the names of individuals, but the majority do not bear a name – like the Amara West example – and could perhaps have fulfilled different meanings for different people. Intriguingly, the rear room of the house was blocked up with the ancestor bust still inside, while people continued to live in the other two rooms.

Adapted to a desert lifestyle
Lake Pueblo State Park is an area of high desert. It's not normally the kind of environment people think of when they picture frogs and toads. However, there are plenty of places in the Park that are capable of supporting amphibian populations and plenty of amphibians that are uniquely adapted to a desert lifestyle.
Amphibians are a group of animals that consist of frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts in North America.
Despite the fact that some salamanders look like lizards, amphibians are very different from reptiles.
They are characterized by their multi-stage lifecycle which includes an aquatic and terrestrial stage.
Amphibians start life as aquatic larvae, like tadpoles, and then change into land-dwelling adults, like frogs.
Amphibians then return to the water later in life and lay their eggs to start the cycle over again.
Amphibians also have a smooth, permeable skin to help absorb moisture and lay soft, gel-like eggs.
This is different from reptiles, which are covered in scales and lay eggs with leathery or hard shells.
Water is very important to amphibians at all stage of their life.
Here, in the desert, water becomes even more crucial.
The frogs, toads, and salamanders that live in Lake Pueblo State Park are tough and are adapted for life in this harsh landscape.
Lake Pueblo State Park has several species that reside within its borders.
They are most often active in spring and summer and hibernated during the colder months.
Tiger salamanders are the largest terrestrial salamanders in the country. They can reach lengths of up to 12 inches.
They are shaped like lizards, with elongated bodies, long tails, and 4 short legs.
In Colorado, tiger salamanders are usually blotched bright yellow and black. Tiger salamanders do live on the park. They can be found in riparian zones along the river, where there is plenty of moisture and cover. Adults spend much of their time underground. Some salamander can be found farther away from water and occasionally show up in cattle watering holes on ranches.
At higher elevation and in areas that are inhospitable on land, tiger salamanders may retain their gills throughout their lives. The salamander will grow large and be able to reproduce and lay eggs, but will look like a juvenile and never leave the water.
Tiger salamander will eat anything they can fit in their mouth including small mammals, like mice. Tiger salamanders are occasionally sold in pet stores and bait shops. Recently, the tiger salamander became the state amphibian of Colorado.
Leopard frogs are common throughout our area and all of eastern Colorado.
They can reach lengths of up to 5 inches, but are typically smaller. They have long back legs and are light green in color with dark green or brown spots that give them their name.
These frogs spend a lot of time in the water throughout their lives and will be found in and around small ponds with slow moving water.
Leopard frogs are fast and jump into the water when disturbed.
Occasionally they may be found in forested areas or fields with vegetation a few hundred yards from water.
Leopard frogs will eat a variety of animals, but primarily feed on insects.
Leopard frogs are excellent environmental indicators.
Bull frogs are large non-native frogs, but have become common in some areas since their introduction decades ago.
Bull frogs are common at Lake Pueblo State Park.
They can often attain sizes of up to 8 inches long.
They are dark green in color and have large heads and mouths.
Bull frogs are also easily recognizable by their call, which resembles a fog horn.
Like leopard frogs, bull frogs spend a lot of time in and close to bodies of water.
They will often sit near the edge of ponds and leap in at the first sign of danger.
Bull frogs can cause problems for native species by out-competing them for food and other resources.
Bull frogs have voracious appetites that include other frogs and their large size makes them hardy survivors.
They eat a lot and grow quickly.
Western chorus frogs are very small frogs.
They usually only attain a length of around an inch or 2.
They are light green in color and have varied marking that consist of broken, dark green, lateral stripes.
These frogs also have small toe pads, similar to tree frogs.
Western chorus frogs can be found in vegetation around small, fishless ponds or temporary pools.
They are very hard to see because of their small size, but are easily recognizable by their call. Western chorus frogs sound like someone running their fingernail along the teeth of comb.
Western chorus frogs are most active in spring and fall. They eat very small insects and worms.
Woodhouse's toads are a very common species around Lake Pueblo State Park and around all of Pueblo County.
These large toads are seen at night crossing the road in the spring and summer, especially after rain.
They are big, up to 5 inches in length.
Woodhouse's toads are olive green to brown in color and have spots and warts covering their bodies.
They also have the large, toxin producing, parotid glands located behind each eye that distinguishes them from frogs.
Woodhouse's toads are adapted to a terrestrial life and only return to the water to breed and lay eggs.
They can be found out wandering and hunting at night just about anywhere.
These toads hide from the heat of the sun during the day under rock and logs, or whatever else they can find.
Woodhouse's toads will eat all kinds of insects and are considered beneficial around homes and gardens.
Contrary to popular belief, touching these toads will not cause warts.
However, Woodhouse's toads will release their bladder if picked up and handled roughly.
ALTHOUGH AMPHIBIANS ARE tough survivors, there are a few precautions people should take when observing these and other wild animals at Lake Pueblo State Park. B
e gentle on the animals and their habitat.
Be careful around breeding sites.
Handling amphibians is not recommended because many of their skin secretions are mildly toxic to humans and domestic pets.
This can cause irritation if it makes contact with open wounds, eyes, or mouth.
Don't move animals from one location to another, or release pets into the wild.
Amphibians are very susceptible to spreading diseases.
In some areas, diseases from non-native amphibians have had devastating effects on local populations.
Do not collect specimens from the wild.
It is illegal to collect any animals at Lake Pueblo State Park. Check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife webpage for regulations on different species in other areas.
A fishing or small game license is often required.
It is always a much better idea to take good photos, and release animals after observing them.

Most comfortable slingback ever!
"These are the cutest shoes, but also the most comfy slingback heels I've ever tried! When I saw them I thought they'd be too tight, but due to the comfortable stretchy fabric they fit like a glove and stay securely on. The heel strap does not dig in or rub at all, again because of the lovely stretchy fabric they're made of. I'm very impressed. The only curious thing about them is that they have a piece of felt-like material stuck on the soles which makes them slippery on some surfaces! I feel this was an unnecessary addition. Otherwise they are totally gorgeous! Ordered the wide fit, fits perfectly."

Valentina Marabini, British Museum
A few weeks into my secondment, I started working under the guidance of Master Zhu Ping Fang, observing a large variety of conservation cases from large format hanging scrolls to hand scrolls on both paper and silk.
I first came to Shanghai Museum's Chinese paintings conservation studio in 2005. My first thoughts on that occasion were that I had entered a secret temple.
The intensity and precision of the conservator's activities when you see them in person reveal the incredible depth of their skill and knowledge, and I was absolutely fascinated. I didn't know at the time how this experience would impact my education and my everyday life as strongly as it does now.
This is a busy studio and the walls are surrounded by thick wooden boards covered with drying paintings which are gradually incorporated into beautiful fabric mounts. The paintings are enclosed in the most beautiful plain and patterned silk, the style and proportions of which have been established largely by tradition.
The same rules and methods have been used for hundreds of years and are guided by aesthetics, proportion, materials and hand-made tools. Students of scroll mounting have to practice until they have mastered the complexities of the handling and use of tools and materials including brushes, knives, paste, paper, and silk.
As assistant, I have to do everything that relates to the preparation of materials, from making paste, to dying paper and silk, selecting and preparing pigments for toning processes and preparing lining papers and silks. Equally, the assistant works closely with the master on the paintings themselves carrying out backing removal, repairs, as well as lifting or pasting large format artwork, which has to be done by two people.
Different conservation and remounting procedures take place simultaneously in the studio and so I have also assisted the masters with various treatments. I have worked on establishing the appropriate historical proportions and preparing silk to be used to surround a painting and fit it into the structure for a hanging scroll called Lizhou. I have also burnished the back of four paintings and inserted wooden fittings onto two scrolls.
I lined a painting with three layers of medium weight Xuan paper and mounted it onto lined and dyed silk borders in the so-called 'jinpian' (or 'frame') format – a flat, 2D mount as opposed to a scroll mount which is rolled.
I was also assigned a work of calligraphy that required full treatment. That means assessment and selection of the appropriate procedure and materials, as well as cleaning the painting and dying its new lining paper. I'll write more about this in a later post.

How many grams of carbs is too many?
Dear Peggy: I'm trying to be careful with fats, calories and carbohydrates in my diet. How do I know how many grams of carbs is too many? —V.S., Great Falls, Montana
It's generally recommended that you consume 45 to 65 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 20 to 35 percent from fat and 10 to 35 percent from protein. The Percent Daily Values found on nutrition labels are based on 60 percent of calories from carbohydrate, 30 percent from fat and 10 percent from protein.
If you're eating, for example, 1,800 calories per day, you'd need 270g of carbohydrate each day (1,800 x 60 percent = 1,080 calories from carbs, or 270g).

I'm not your average doctor when it comes to cholesterol. Why? Because I don't believe cholesterol is the villain it's made out to be when it comes to heart disease. In fact, it's not much of a risk factor at all.
The real cause of heart disease is inflammation, not cholesterol. I believe this is true because half of all people who die of heart attacks have a "normal" cholesterol level—and because of all the angiograms I've performed on patients with high cholesterol numbers but completely clean arteries.
Bottom line: The cholesterol connection just isn't as strong as it's made out to be by mainstream medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. That's why I co-authored The Great Cholesterol Myth with nutritionist Jonny Bowden, Ph.D.
What's more—and possibly worse—is that they don't tell you your body can't function without cholesterol. For example, this vital substance is a waxy, fat-like material that your body needs to carry out many functions, which include:
Synthesizing essential nutrients such as vitamin D; steroid hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol; and bile acids needed for digestion
Constructing the semi-permeable membranes around each of the 100 trillion cells that make up your body
Repairing damage that occurs within the cardiovascular system
Facilitating cell communication and memory in the brain
The Truth About LDL Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol
Cholesterol moves through the body with the help of two proteins: low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL carries ready-to-use cholesterol molecules that can be absorbed by cells that need it. Meanwhile, HDL picks up excess cholesterol and carries it back to the liver for recycling and excretion.
LDL and HDL work as a team, which is why it's important to have the right balance of the two.
When the ratio of LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol falls out of balance—specifically when there is a lot more LDL than HDL—the excess LDL cholesterol essentially starts to rot. In the blood, the "rotting" process is called oxidation, and it happens when LDL cholesterol is attacked by free radicals from toxins such as mercury, trans fats, and insecticides, to mention a few.
The oxidation of LDL cholesterol is considered a pivotal step in the development of heart disease because oxidized LDL cholesterol particles can penetrate the endothelial cells lining the arteries, which contributes to—and accelerates—the inflammatory process. Over time, increased inflammation leads to the formation of arterial plaque buildup (atherosclerosis).
Cholesterol Ratios and Subtypes
Research over the past 50 years has repeatedly connected cardiovascular disease with unbalanced cholesterol ratios.
A ratio of 5:1 or greater (LDL to HDL) has been associated with a higher risk of heart attack than a ratio less than 5:1. For example, if your LDL cholesterol is 150 mg/dL and your HDL is 50 mg/dL, your LDL to HDL ratio would be a healthy 3:1. Ideally, your HDL cholesterol should be 60 mg/dL or greater. At a minimum, men should be at 35 mg/dL and women at 40 mg/dL or more. Depending on your level of total cholesterol, you may need to reduce your LDL cholesterol levels and raise your HDL cholesterol levels so that your ratio of LDL to HDL is less than 5:1.
That said, achieving optimal cholesterol levels is far more complex than this. There are actually multiple subtypes of both LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, and some of those subtypes are good and some are bad. So, it's not just about how high your LDL cholesterol is. It's about what kind of it you have, and how much. The same goes for HDL cholesterol. And to determine all of this, you need to go beyond the standard blood lipid tests that most doctors use to monitor cholesterol levels.

By Lou SanseveroFerron
I've been following the discussions, debates, and commentaries on Castle Dale's beautification ordinance and although I'm not a Castle Dale citizen I thought I'd throw my two cents in because the issues being discussed are common to all our cities; property rights of the individual versus the overall well being of the entire community. First of all I'd like to let you know exactly where I stand. I applaud Neal and his city council for doing what is right for the community and not ducking the issue so as not to offend anyone. I only wish I lived in Castle Dale so I could more directly support and vote for him and the council members should they chose to run for office again.
That being said I'd like to point out to the opponents of these ordinances that (1) the "rights" of one individual end precisely where the "rights" of another begin and (2) that the "rights" of the individual are superseded by the cumulative "rights" of the community or society; in this case the "right" of individuals to keep their property in an unkempt state is superseded by the right of other individuals to receive the full benefit, use, and enjoyment of their property and their right to be free from the negative health issues that manifest in unkempt properties. Secondly, I'd like to point out that for almost 200 years Supreme Courts (both state and federal) have confirmed the "right" of municipalities to enact and enforce Land Use Ordinances, that Land Use Ordinances (in the modern sense) are uniquely American, and that they predate the United Nations by decades.
To those "conspiracy theorists" that see Land Use Ordinances as an attempt by devious "one worlders" to undermine our national sovereignty I would suggest that they clean up their yards and turn their attentions, energies, and actions to the events playing out on our national stage where the real threats lie. I would also suggest a plan of action for these "conspiracy theorists" who feel their "rights" are being infringed upon; find like minded individuals who are willing to run for mayor and city council and run them for office on the platform of individual "rights" and if they manage to get elected, change the ordinances. If, in the preceding sentence, you detected a bit of sarcasm it was intentional for I believe the majority of the people of Castle Dale have "pride of community" and want to live in a clean, healthy, and prosperous city. Then again I may be wrong after all I live in Ferron where nobody's feelings get hurt and no mayor or city council has had the courage (at least not in the 10 years I've lived here) to enforce their ordinances to clean things up, as Neal and his city council are attempting.

Box Score
SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- After missing the last three games with an injury, Miles Thompson wasted no time getting back into the swing of things, as the junior attackman scored a single-game program record nine goals to lead #19/20 UAlbany to a 17-15 win over Bryant in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Saturdy afternoon. With the win, the Great Danes improve to 4-2 overall, while Bryant falls to 0-6 on the season.
The game got off to a slow start offensively, with the Bulldogs scoring two straight goals before UAlbany found the back of the net on a Ty Thompson goal with 3:07 to play in the first. Bryant took four shots late in the quarter, but UAlbany goalkeeper Blaze Riorden saved the only one on net, preserving the Great Danes' one-goal deficit at the end of the period.
The Thompson Trio led the charge in the second quarter to give UAlbany its first advantage. Miles Thompson scored his first of the day at 8:52 to tie the game, but Bryant's Shane Morrell put the Bulldogs back on top with a score just a minute later. UAlbany's Artie Marrapese won the ensuing faceoff, and Miles took an assist from brother Lyle just 20 seconds later to tie the game once again. Within another minute of play, Ty Thompson would score back-to-back goals to push the UAlbany lead to 5-3 with 6:17 left to play in the half. The Bulldogs ended the rally with a goal by Dan Sipperly, but Derrick Eccles put the Great Danes back on top by two, with 4:27 to go. With just over two minutes to play in the second quarter, Bryant tied the game at 6-6 with consecutive goals, before the Thompsons struck again, getting tallies from Lyle, then Miles, to give the Great Danes an 8-6 lead at the halftime break.
Lyle passed to Miles who scored to start the third, to keep the momentum swinging in UAlbany's favor. Bryant pulled back within two on a man-up opportunity, but it was the Miles Thompson show after that, as he scored the next four goals of the quarter to put the Great Danes on top, 13-7, heading into the final period.
Bryant would not go away quietly, however, as the Bulldogs responded by scoring the first four goals of the fourth quarter to pull back within two, 13-11. Miles ended the rally by netting his ninth of the day to set a new single-game record, which was previously set at eight by Merrick Thomson in 2004 and Corey Small in 2009. Eric Cantor pushed the UAlbany lead to 15-11 with his first goal of the season at 8:13 with the man-down unit, but Bryant capitalized on an extra-man opportunity less than a minute later with a tally by Colin Dunster. After the Bulldogs closed the gap back to two, Lyle Thompson scored back-to-back unassisted goals to push the Great Dane lead to 17-13 with less than three minutes to play. Bryant made a late rally with consecutive goals in the final 2:06, but the Great Danes held on for the victory.
"I am proud of the mental toughness we showed today," said UAlbany head coach Scott Marr, whose team has now won three straight games. "We continue to fight through adversity and came away with another road win. It also didn't hurt to have Miles back in the lineup with nine goals!"
Bryant outshot UAlbany, 62-32, but held just a 10-shot differential in shots on goal, 32-22. The Bulldogs also won the battle in the faceoff circle, holding a 24-11 advantage over the Great Danes. However, Riorden came up big for the Great Danes with 17 saves in goal, while Bryant's Tom Carey and Gunnar Waldt combined for just five saves for the Bulldogs.
UAlbany will return to action next Saturday, hosting Bucknell at 1 p.m. at John Fallon Field.

Feel narrow to my feet
"These shoes are fairly comfy, but felt a little on the narrow side for me especially for this brand (I ordered my normal size 7m). I plan on returning, so I am not sure how they would break in, but I agree with another review that the ankles feel a bit stiff. I also had a little bit of heel slippage. Overall just not the fit, comfort and style I was hoping to find."

My New Favorite Bootie
"This bootie has the quality construction and smart styling that I have come to expect from Clarks. The fit is spot-on, and unlike most new kicks, they were quite comfy from the start, no break-in period necessary. The leather is soft and supple; there are no hard edges to rub and chafe, and the lining is pillow-soft. The only reason I held back on a five-star rating is because I wish they hugged the ankle just a bit tighter for an edgier profile. Otherwise, highly recommended!"

stiff edges
"I like the color and quality of the shoes, they are TTS, enough room for toes, however, the edges are too stiff to wear them comfortably - you either have to wear thick high stocks to cover the edges or stuck pants into them. have to bring them back to the store."

Great but not for fat toes
"I fell inlove of the design of these sandals when I first saw it in DSW store in Tampa. But only white was available and I decided to check Online other colors available. So I got the gold one. They're beautiful and stylish, I love that the design aint so common. However, they're not so comfortable. But I think is because my big toe is fat. I'm gonna wait few more weeks because they will adapt to my feet. But I don't recommend it for long walks. I'm size 8, amd usually purchase 7.5 for sandals. I got 8, and although it fits, I've should gotten 7.5."

The Bulls moved to the top of the Super Rugby standings on Saturday thanks to a nail-biting 20-19 victory over the Sharks in Pretoria.
The Bulls moved to the top of the Super Rugby standings on Saturday thanks to a nail-biting 20-19 victory over the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld.
With just one round of the regular season left, the Bulls will travel to Newlands to face the Stormers next week with a two-point lead over the Chiefs and four over the Brumbies in the race for automatic semi-final qualification that comes with finishing in the top two.
A gripping South African derby in Pretoria saw the sides score two tries each but the Sharks will rue conceding two yellow cards and some wayward place-kicking that cost them 13 points.
A closely-contested first half came to an end with the Bulls leading 13-8 but it would have been all-square had the visitors been more accurate from the kicking tee.
The Sharks started the second half strongly and held the lead until Jano Vermaak scored a match-winning try in the dying minutes.
A Morné Steyn penalty opened the scoring but it would be the Sharks who crossed the whitewash first thanks to an inspired effort from Lambie. The young playmaker – playing his 50th game for the Sharks at inside centre – cleverly chipped ahead as the visitors attacked from deep in their own 22, Lwazi Mvovo then turned on the gas to sprint 70-odd metres before finding Lambie up in support for a great try.
Lambie missed the very kickable conversion however leaving the door open for Steyn to kick the Bulls back in front after Sharks hooker Bismarck du Plessis was sin-binned for stupidly using his elbow to settle an argument.
Lambie did however land his next effort when the Bulls were penalised on the deck, but the hosts struck right back as Steyn's pin-point accurate kick-pass found Bjorn Basson out wide and the wing bolted home for his first try of the season.
Steyn's conversion took the scores to 13-8 and a missed penalties from Riaan Viljoen and Lambie meant that is how the scores remained until the interval.
There was no mistake from Lambie as he twice split the uprights soon after the restart – once after Dean Greyling was penalised at scrum time and then when Flip van der Merwe made a late tackle – to put the team from Durban ahead by a single point at 14-13.
Odwa Ndungane extended the lead when he collected Butch James's kick out wide and raced home for the Sharks' second try but again Lambie send his conversion effort wide.
Needing seven points to get back in front, the Bulls started turning down kickable penalties as they laid siege to the Sharks line, but the visitors' defence held firm through an extended barrage of big Bulls runners to head into the final ten minutes with the lead.
Unable to strike from close range, the Bulls grabbed the winner from long distance with eight minutes left on the clock as Vermaak emerged from a frenetic spell of loose play to collect Jurgen Visser's grubber ahead and race home to score under the posts.
The ref had been playing advantage for a terrible high tackle by James and the former Springbok fly-half was sent to the sin bin as the Bok incumbent converted the try to put the Bulls ahead at 20-19.
Viljoen had a chance to win it for the Sharks with the last kick of the game, but once again sent his penalty effort wide, meaning the Bulls go into the final weekend in pole position.
The scorers:
For Bulls:
Tries: Basson, Vermaak
Cons: Steyn 2
Pens: Steyn 2
For Sharks:
Tries: Lambie, O. Ndungane

The Open began with a triple with two retired on steep, hilly terrain. Long bird in the middle was throw first thrown right to left down on the side of a hill. The second bird thrown was on the right thrown right to left and landing behind the base of a slope of a hill. The flyer was on the left also thrown right to left and landing in or on the slope of a valley. There were a couple of breaks and some dogs got lost. Of the 33 running (one scratch), 24 were called back.
The land blind was run from behind the marks generally toward the original line. There were two points of land to cross and then push up a hill to a bush nearly at the crest. A gunner sat hidden between the two points. Most dogs did fine but a couple got lost over the crest of the hill at the end and there was one pickup. Twenty dogs were called back.
The water blind crossed a bay with a big water swim to the end of a stand of tules. A poison bird was thrown down the shore along the curve of the bay about 2/3 of the way to the blind. There were at least two paths leading out of the water and into the tules near the end of the blind that were enticing to some dogs as was the poison bird. Callbacks to the 4th series tomorrow (14 dogs):
Starts with dog #5.

The Amateur began with a triple with two retired in the sagebrush. The long bird in the center went down first thrown right to left from the end of a plateau down to the base in some sage. The short retired on the right was then thrown right to left from a hillside down into an open area.surrounded by sage. The flyer was short and on the left shot right to left. There was lots of sage to punch through or run around on the way to all marks. Of the 28 that started (two scratches), 18 were called back.
The line to the land blind was just off the end of the flyer, ending in a tiny slot of sage. While on line to the blind, the test dog disappeared behind some sage about a third of the way to the blind and reappeared way left. So there were some challenges enroute. I understand that 15 were called back to the water blind but I don't have the numbers. They were running the water blind late this afternoon.
The Derby ran two series today. One land double and one water double. All dogs were called back to the 3rd series tomorrow.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The annual Night at the Museum celebration highlighted the new displays and exhibits at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale as well as spotlighting a museum hero.
Clifford Oviatt was awarded a special recognition for his volunteer work at the museum. Museum director Margaret Keller welcomed the large crowd to the event. Board members were introduced including Dixon Peacock, Janet Petersen, Dawnette Tuttle, Randy Jensen and Clifford Oviatt.
Keller recognized the board members for all their volunteer work for the museum. The volunteers are the heart and soul of the museum. Keller said this year they chose to honor Clifford Oviatt. She described Clifford as being creative, clever and he can do anything he's asked to do. He was instrumental in making the display for the Clyde's Cavern artifacts. "He is very loving. He looks rough and tough, but he's a Teddy bear. He is always learning and always teaching. He has taught many students to paint. He is interesting, fearless, favorable and everyone loves him and appreciates what he does."
Jensen said he is very proud to present the dedicated service award to Clifford this year. "He is always available to set up chairs for events and to help with new exhibits. Clifford tries to anticipate what's needed and then he's there to see things are done properly. He's always prepared for possible problems. Cliff is selfless, he always puts others first."
Jensen described Clifford Oviatt's artistic abilities as endless, his artistic talent is unmatched. "Cliff has always been thoughtful and artistic. When he was 9 years old he was given an art set. A buffalo he drew while in school is still on display. During the '70s, Cliff taught art at Emery High. Cliff has designed displays, crafted logos for companies and painted many pictures. He painted the sign outside the museum. He painted the Rochester Panel. His murals are backdrops for displays in the museum. The most recent one was in the paleo room. The beautiful murals are familiar landscapes from Emery County. It's been an honor to work with Cliff," said Jensen.
Jensen presented a plaque to Clifford Oviatt and the audience jumped to their feet to honor Oviatt with a standing ovation.
Oviatt told the audience, "Thanks to everyone for being here. What you need to understand is this is a labor of love. I don't consider any of it work. I have enjoyed what I'm doing. We have this beautiful museum here for tourists to visit. Everything about Emery County I hold dear. We need to show responsibility in all we do and how we care for the land."
Oviatt thanked all those volunteers who helped him work on the mural in the paleo room. He thanked his wife Verlynn for her help and her support as he has worked on the museum projects throughout the years. Oviatt described many of the projects he's worked on over the years including one where everyone of the family who came to visit the Oviatts at home worked with a Dremel tool and modeling paste on a mural. When it was finished it almost didn't fit out the door when it was moved from home to the museum. Oviatt enjoys making his murals three dimensional and the rock in the sheep panel is really foam that's painted to look like rock.
Oviatt said it's exciting how new dinosaurs are being found all the time. He enjoyed working on the dinosaur for the new display. He tried to make the dinosaur as realistic as possible. It's a ornithomimis and it means bird. The giant "bird" is 6.5 feet tall and is shown in the display with an egg which he stole from a nest and he is running away with it, a common practice among dinosaurs as eggs were taken for food. Oviatt said he tried to paint dinosaurs in that mural that come from the late cretaceous period.
"I enjoy the work here, I enjoy the students. It's more fun than work," said Oviatt.
Other new displays at the museum include the Mikelson pot which was found in Ferron Canyon. A rock art photo exhibit was recently part of a traveling exhibit housed in the round room at the museum for a month. The photos included many pictures of rock art from Emery County.
A hands on make and take craft item was available for the children to construct on this evening and museum board members helped them. Refreshments were served to round out the evening of activities.
The museum board invited everyone in Emery County to rediscover the Museum of the San Rafael and take time to visit the new displays at the museum. Museum hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Closed Sundays and holidays.
