Compost with Anchor
The HFN Show Issue is out! Inside, it contains sneak peaks of what will be seen at the International Home and Housewares Show (March 14-16)
On page 34, in the Kitchen Capable section, Anchor Home Collection's portable compost pail is featured!
"From Anchor Home Collections, the portable compost pail is designed for countertop use and has a built-in carbon filter to eliminate odors," says HFN contributer Andrea Lillo.
Categorized under: Spotlight Company News Green Love Compost
Anchor Hocking has been in the business of manufacturing glassware products for more than 100 years.
As befits a company with our heritage, we have continued to produce quality glassware throughout the decades. We manufacture a majority of our products in Lancaster, Ohio, a town of some 35,000 people located 33 miles southeast of Columbus. In fact, our current factory sits on the site of our very first one. We are as emphatic about the quality of our products today as we have always been – proud of the design and of the value they represent for consumers, foodservice and the commercial sector, and the fact that you will find them in the kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms of most every American home.
But there is one way in which we have changed in recent years, and that is the corporate-wide commitment we have made to become a more environmentally friendly company.
It is an initiative we view as being vital to our future, and we're taking many positive steps to make it happen.
• Anchor's Glass is 100% recyclable once a product has met its life's end. This helps reduce trash in landfills, cuts down on pollution and saves raw materials.
• Anchor reclaims all of our waste glass known as cullet. We then reuse the cullet in our furnaces to help create new glass. That means using fewer raw materials, saving energy, cutting down landfill waste and less pollution.
• Anchor has instituted a Corporate Responsibility for Sustainability program that identifies opportunities for waste reduction including raw materials, energy, and pollutants on an ongoing basis.
• We design our packaging to reduce environmental footprints. Anchor utilizes recycled and recyclable materials as often as possible along with reducing the overall packaging material requirements and size. This reduces the need for new raw materials and allows us to ship more products using less transportation and fuel.
• Anchor's glassware does not contain lead or any other materials that are harmful to your health. In addition, plastic lids used on Anchor food products are BPA free.
• With all the efforts Anchor Hocking makes, we also need the help of our consumers. Our products and packing may be recyclable, but without the help of you choosing the recycling bin or compost pile our efforts are lost. Please be thoughtful when choosing the final resting place of an Anchor product and look for the sustainable choice.
we are proud to say it means just as much to us.

Those attending the Emery County Democratic Convention were treated to a host of speakers as well as Bevan Wilson's world famous steaks. Delegates began gathering and party secretary, Kim Player called the convention to order. A flag ceremony was presented by Boy Scout Troop 394. Rep. Jim Matheson spoke to the Democrats. He said the only good thing he saw that came out of the redistricting of the second congressional district was that now he represents Emery County and he is proud to do so. Matheson said he loves the Emery County lamb fry, although Bevan's steaks were good. He said he only won the election last time by less than 1 percent. He said they need to focus on a victory in November and not get caught up in political ploys nor turn against each other.
Matheson said he is counting on his local supporters to correct any misrepresentations about him and what he stands for. "Do not leave things unchallenged and stand up for truth," he said. Matheson said he has been very active in securing highway funds for SR-6 by getting it listed as a high priority corridor. The road has a better opportunity to obtain federal funds with a high priority listing.
Matheson was very vocal and concerned about any resumption of testing at the Nevada testing grounds. He voted against any such testing. He mentioned prior testing at the site which was done on days when any fallout would be blown downwind into Southern Utah. Matheson said he was the only local guy who voted against resuming testing. He said he would work diligently for the safety of America and not let such testing happen again. "I put the interests of Utah first, I have been the lonely voice when it comes to nuclear testing and the storing of waste at Yucca Mountain and when it comes to short changing our Veterans. I am proud of my record and I will not let the other side define me with false messages," said Matheson.
"I want a win in Emery County in November, but I can't do it alone. I need your eyes, ears, arms and legs and this is the challenge, you know my record; now get out there and vote," said Matheson.
Scott Matheson, Jr. the Democratic candidate for governor spoke to the audience next, he complemented his brother Jim on the job he is doing in Congress for the people of Utah. Matheson said he feels Utah is facing a crossroads election this year in November and this is the first time in 16 years where there will be a competitive governors race. Matheson told a little bit about his background. He is currently the Dean of Law at the University of Utah and he described it as a great opportunity. He has been involved in a variety of public service jobs. He worked for Attorney General Janet Reno which was a good experience. He has done prosecuting work for the county attorneys office and also practiced law in Washington, D.C.
He said he had some great training and learned some great skills while in Washington, but his heart was in Utah. He pointed out areas where he thought the state could do better including: education, class size reduction, unemployment, children's health care and eliminating gerrymandering at the state legislature. Matheson described Utah as being out of balance and it needs to get back to open and accountable government and Matheson described himself as just the man for the job.
Sen. Mike Dmitrich said he has been serving for the past 14 years in the state senate. He is working for rural economic development and mentioned the Consol mine as a future source of economic development in the county. Dmitrich said if the democrats and the republicans are taking turns in the governor's mansion that it is the democrats turn again.
Rep. Brad King said he is running unopposed this year and thanked the county for their support. He said being a democrat in Utah is an uphill battle where they have to prove they are worthy and a republican has to prove that they are not worthy. King said Utah shouldn't be run behind closed doors and they should debate the issues in public. He said it was important for people to see what's going on at the state level and for people to look at individuals when choosing who to vote for.
Marcie Smith-West spoke at the convention representing Paul VanDam who is a candidate for the United States Senate. She said VanDam believes the federal government should balance their budget and his main message is fiscal responsibility.
Greg Skordas, candidate for Utah State Attorney General said he has practiced law for 22 years. He sees the main issue people face is wanting to be safe in their homes. He has worked with rape recovery victims and the children's justice center.
Michael Braxton who is a candidate for the Democratic National Convention also spoke and said it was difficult to be a democrat in Utah and the republicans think they run everything.
Donald Dunn, state party chair said he appreciated the strong Emery County democratic party and their hard work. He said the democratic party wants to send a pink slip to Pres. Bush and create job opportunities for John Kerry, Jim Matheson, Paul VanDam and other democrats. Dunn said that Matheson only won by 1,634 votes in the last election. He encouraged everyone to get involved in the campaign. He said the democrats don't have as much money as the republicans, but they spend what they have wiser. He said this is the most critical election in years. "Let's kick some elephant," said Dunn.
The democrats elected their county commission candidate to run against the republican candidate in November. Gary Petty from Emery was selected as the candidate. He is married to Jolene Petty and has three daughters and nine grandchildren. He was the mayor of Emery for 10 years. Petty said he feels major issues in the county are water rights and the roads in the desert. He said he will fight to keep roads open and support the public lands council. He said he hopes to form working relationships with each of the towns to learn of their needs and challenges and work together to solve problems. Petty said he was involved in the jacees, pioneer museum, dinosaur exhibits coming to the museum and homecoming celebrations which were the forerunner to the current Emery County Fair. He said the economy in the county has stood still and more of the tax burden is being placed on the county residents. Petty said Green River is a bright spot in Emery County and he would like to work with them and get their ideas on economic development. Petty defeated Mark H. Williams who was also a candidate.
State delegates for the democrats selected in the precinct caucuses were: Gary Petty, Gary Kofford, Duane Collard, Mary Bentley, Curtis Collard, Paula Lucas, JoAnn Behling, Carl Mortensen, FloAnn Wilson, Carolyn Booker, Max Tucker, Cheryl Keener. State delegates elected at the convention: Jackie Wilson, Boyd Wilson, Tracy Addley, Megan Kemple, Tina Allred, Bevan Wilson, Natalie Collard, and Ferd Allred. The convention will be held on May 8 at the Salt Palace Convention Center.

|1| Terrible
I've always thought Kubo had fallen into the dragonball/shounen trap. With no idea how to feasibly make fights exciting after powering up Ichigo to the 'strongest' every arc, he's had to combine everything into one.
First - Shinigami level
Next - Shinigami + hollow
Then Shinigami + hollow + human/hollow power
Finally Shinigami + hollow + human/hollow + quincy.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but as soon as fullbring's came along, I had jokingly guessed that Ichigo would somehow assimilate quincy power too.
current reading: Naruto:shipuuden, Bleach, Fairytails, Historys strongest diciple kenichi,
berzerk, deadman wonderland, claymore, hunter x hunter, gantz, blue exorcist, one piece, zetman, witch hunter, liar game, and vagabond ..... I need more!
I think it's safe to say that Yama-jii definitely could've used blut vein.
I like the idea of Ichigo being able to absorb power Or copy it
Favorite Manga/Anime CharactersNaruto, Orochimaru, Jariya, Itachi, Ichigo, Mayuri, Kenpachi, Mugen, Vash the Stampede, "L", Edward Elric, Reborn, Rokudo Mukuro, Black Star, Dr. Fraken Stein, Death the Kid
So, seeing as all types of Ichigo's powers were personalized within his inner dimension, does it mean that there are now 4 personalities and each one of them controls a different part of Ichigo's power (Shinigami, Hollow, Fullbring, Quincy) ? What's more, their combination might look extremely bizarre .
Let's seee hmmmm, Ichigo can now transform into a full hollow with a bankai (H2-Ichigo), Quincy Final Form, Quincy Complete Form, FGT-Mugetsu Hybrid mode and all being powered by Fullbring and their core being Shinigami powers... ah right, Ichigo still hasn't learned any kidou or hand-to-hand shinigami styled combat, firing cero at will, firing heavenly arrows and the like... he still has room for growth I guess it really might take another 9 years to end this series .
If Ichigo can absorb powers like Ginjo I wonder if he can also share them, that way he could prop up the Shinigami with Blut Vene and Blut Arterie for an epic counter attack.
Something to keep in mind, many of the powers we've seen between the "races" in Bleach (Hollows, Shinigami, Quincy) do similar things, just the type of power is what is different. (Sonido = Shunpo = Hirenkyaku, for example)
Ichigo is unique. He's shown both Hollow and Shinigami powers. Is it really any surprise that he'd be able to use Quincy abilities too? After all, we've seen an Arrancar that used Quincy powers, at least Ichigo is closer to being a Quincy than one of them.
Oh right, I liked how one of the artworks was stylized after Guilty Crown :
Ichigo vs Juha battle was just the way I love it. And it's only the beginning (hopefully). And Hacshwald was so sad in this chapter. I wonder why. He must have an interesting backstory. I bet he'll die before it's revealed, though.
...You Know?..

Bright color inspires my workout!
"I ordered these shoes one size too big, to accommodate orthopedic supports. They are perfect width-wise for my needs, but a little long, so I use them for walking on the treadmill or in my neighborhood and for using the elliptical at a moderate speed. They are a little too big for running, but again, I purchased them one size too big. Otherwise, they are SO comfortable, and soft! The tongue is super thin, which is a different design from the usual shoes I buy, but it does not affect the comfort or wear. I love the color!"

Love this shoe!
"I am very picky about training shoes. I always want a "round-toe" as they are more comfortable for my feet. I never usually go to Nike as they have more of a narrow/pointed toe. The colors immediately caught my attention and I was so excited to see that the toe was rounded! As if that wasn't enough, when I tried them on, they felt beyond comfortable!! I love them!!!"

BLM Sets Public Meetings on Draft Oil Shale and Tar Sands Planning Document
The Bureau of Land Management has scheduled a series of open house public meetings to provide additional information on the Draft Resource Management Plan Amendments and Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Draft PEIS) for oil shale and tar sands resources in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The Draft PEIS was published on December 21, 2007, and is open for public comment through March 20, 2008.
Each open house meeting will feature stations staffed by resource specialists around the meeting room. Those attending the meeting will be able to visit stations of interest and get information on how particular analyses were developed, what impacts or potential impacts and mitigation were identified, and ask any questions of the resource specialists and agency representatives present.
Open houses will be held in the following locations:
The Preferred Alternative in the Draft PEIS would amend BLM land-use plans to allocate approximately 1.9 million acres of public lands in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming for potential commercial oil shale development and approximately 430,000 acres in Utah for tar sands. Between 305,000 and 1.5 million acres of BLM-managed lands would be excluded from oil shale leasing under the alternatives presented in the Draft PEIS.
The complete Draft PEIS is available in electronic form (PDF) on the project Website, http://ostseis.anl.gov. Paper and CD-ROM copies of the Draft are also available at the BLM State Offices in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming; and BLM Field Offices in Vernal, Price, Richfield, and Monticello, Utah; Meeker, Glenwood Springs, and Grand Junction, Colorado; and Kemmerer, Rawlins, and Rock Springs, Wyoming. The Website is enabled to take comments electronically, and written comments may be mailed to: BLM Oil Shale and Tar Sands Resources Draft Programmatic EIS Comments, 9700 South Cass Avenue, Argonne IL 60439.
The BLM previously issued six 160-acre leases for oil shale projects on public lands in Colorado and Utah under its research development and demonstration (RD&D) program. Information available from these projects is included in the PEIS and was considered during development of the alternatives presented in the Draft. For additional information on the BLM's efforts to develop Federal oil shale and tar sands resources, visit http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/energy/oilshale_2.html .

The Sunday of All Saints
The Gospel according to Matthew 10:32-33; 37-38; 19:27-30
The Lord said to his disciples, "Every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in heaven. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." Then Peter said in reply, "Lo, we have left everything and followed you. What then shall we have?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But many that are first will be last, and the last first."

Skip to comments.Palin aide says Politico article about Palin abandoning "don't retreat, reload" line is false.
Posted on 01/30/2011 5:34:45 PM PST by Bigtigermike
Rebecca A. Mansour, an aide to former Alaska Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin tweeted that an article by Politico which stated that Palin last night to the Safari Club in Reno Nevada dropped the "reload" phrase from her routine "don't retreat, reload" line is inaccurate.
For the record, this story is inaccurate http://j.mp/h5g5xG Yesterday in Reno Gov. Palin did say her trademark line "Don't retreat, reload."
The Politico article written by Andy Barr seemed to have gotten the story about the allege line being drop from Reno Gazette-Journal's David Jacobs who put his ear to a closed door of the ballroom where Palin spoke since the club closed the speech to the press.
Poltico wrote that Palin's new line was "don't retreat, stand tall" and that it was in response to her being heavily criticized in the wake of the tragedy for her political rhetoric.
Media sources typically use to confirm a story by two or more sources before running with it, Politico has been known to run with shady and even false stories on conservative politicians and conservative media, especially Governor Palin.
Politico - Palin retreats, won't reload
A FreeRepublic member SFmom who attended the speech confirm as well that Palin did not retreat from her famous line:
I was there!!! She did NOT say she was ditching the phrase and even repeated it!!!
33 posted on Sunday, January 30, 2011 11:13:34 AM by SFmom
Most of the garbage in the Politico is just that, garbage.
Everything on Politico is trash. Everybody on their staff was involved in Journolist.
Politico would run with a story heard like this too:
Typical Politico "Reporter".
By the way, I am really glad that she didn't change her line! There is NO need for her to do that!
Politico caught lying about a conservative. Talk about a dog bites man story.
It's a gossip site. Nothing more.
Um, since a school in Montana this week changed the line in a school play to call for the beheading of Sara Palin all "calls for civility" bets are off.
I'd say that she can say whatever she wants!!
Pollutico is misspelled in the title.
It is encouraging me to that the governor is letting a surrogate clean up the "shadd" stories, while fully engaging on the big stuff.
I was there!!! She did NOT say she was ditching the phrase and even repeated it!!!
That's a relief: one who takes ideas seriously does not sacrifice her own individual independent rational judgment in order to placate people whose beliefs she knows to be irrational.
>> "It is encouraging me to that the governor is letting a surrogate clean up the shadd stories..." <<
Its difficult to find trustworthy 'surrogates' to do anything these days.
Yeah, if she was going to change it, she'd go with my tagline. :)
Rebecca mansour has avoided any gaffes so far. Governor needs a few more reliable folks though
Rebecca was there?
Thanks for the report.
Here you go...your boys at Politico retracted their story
Sounds like they just confirmed the Las Vegas reporter's hearing.
Huh? Do you have any more info?
>>>My assumption is that everything negative I hear about Sarah Palin for the next two years is a lie until proven otherwise.<<<
As I've written here about a zillion times, I was actually a reporter at the Frontiersman in Wasilla, Alaska, when Palin was there on the city council and as mayor.
Just about everything written about Palin as criticism is a lie. Period. I've spent much of my life watching from the sidelines as the media slimed others, but watching them slime someone you know professionally has been one of the gut-wrenching experiences of my life, not to mention more than a little shame having my name as a byline in several newspapers along the West Coast.
My metaphor for the way Palin has been treated is gang rape. I used to dislike the left. Now my feeling is visceral hatred. I can easily see why people with those beliefs can line up people for the concentration camps, exterminate the kulaks, round up neighbors for the killing fields, and make a thousand flowers bloom.
My friend, your instincts are correct. My advice is to share your disgust with as many people as you can. God help us.
Have to give credit where credit is due,great choice of song,better luck next time.
The biggest problem is that more than half of American still thinks that the babble, rabble and spew coming from the MSM is the burning bush of truth and honesty.
If there should be any contributory campaign initiated by Sarah Palin and the conservatives of America it is the cleansing of the false politically motivated "gang rape" style talking heads of the MSM.
Targets? Shall we bring up targets? If not we shall use spotlights, we will illuminate those that are the propagandists, especially those with socialism, Marxism or Islamic leanings.
I'd say that's a wise move.
I knew it was a lie when I first read it.
Politico can't be trusted on anything, period.
Thanks. Seesh, there is no bottom to their depravity.
Heavy quote, unfortunately filled with truth.
They see a light.
It grows larger and brighter.
They snort, growl, howl, and consume in the darkness with ravenous abandon in a vain attempt to distract themselves from the inevitable.
They know their time is short.
They smell their own extinction on the wind.
Just a Ruse to get her to Repeat it so they can Hammer her again

Hopefully We Can Get A Real Football Player Next Year we should be picking high
Posted 11 May 2006 - 03:44 PM
Posted 11 May 2006 - 03:47 PM
i dont think we'll be picking high at all. and i dont know why u would hope that.
Posted 11 May 2006 - 04:01 PM
i dont think we'll have a high pick like we did this year, but if we did then i definitly say we should go for an impact player, someone who puts points on the board, and someone to energize the offense. its way to early to say who that player will be, but with the extra second, we have some ammo to trade up a few spots if theres someone there we want. but like i said, its way to early to think about who that player will be.
Posted 11 May 2006 - 04:43 PM
Can we focus on this season before we start thinking about next year's draft?
Posted 11 May 2006 - 04:51 PM
ok i'm closing this. this thread was reported to me by a memeber whose name i wont mention. anyway its not the 1st complaint agianst u and probably won't be the lats. so please stop making one line threads trashing everything with no research or point that i can see behind it except to either say jets suck or piss members off. then you don't even respond to anyones posts.

Shen Min
Shen MIN Advanced Formula for Women
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Shen Min uses the only standardized root in the industry
- Each tablet contains 150 mg of 12:1 extract with 435 mg of raw herb
- Contains bioperine, a black pepper extract proven to help increase absorption and utilization of nutrients
- No binder or fillers are used
- Considered a natural alternative to Minoxidil and is 100% safe
- About the brand
Shen Min is a 100% natural hair nutrient derived from the eastern wild rose, best known for its ability to stimulate hair growth and restore graying hair to its original color. While the exact mechanism is still unknown, Shen Min extends the growth phase of the hair follicle, thus reducing the number of hairs in the resting phase and fall out phase. The net effect is a greater number of hairs growing and fewer falling out. Shen Min also blocks DHT from binding to the follicle. DHT is a leading cause of thinning hair because it deactivates hair by binding to the follicle.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystaline Cellulose, Croscamellose Sodium, StearicAcid, Magnesium Stearate, Pharmaceutical Glaze.
Take one tablet two times daily, or as directed. One in the morning and one in the evening, without food.
Shen Min hair loss supplements revitalize your follicles promoting healthy hair growth. Shen Min's exclusive formula combines a mixture of natural ingredients including the herb Chinese knotweed, horse chestnut extract, silica, biotin and saw palmetto to maximize your hair's potential.

For Australians, exploration, understanding and education are important when travelling abroad and Peru attracts thousands of inquisitive travellers fascinated by the mystery of lost cities and past civilizations.
While Machu Picchu is a highlight for any trip to Peru, the country is also full of archaeological sites which date back earlier than the ancient times of the Incas, when great civilizations left a superb legacy of their art, customs and rituals.
Some of Peru's wonderful historical, cultural and agricultural experiences include:
Peru's distinguishing seal is its living culture – an experience not to be missed. Whether it's participating in ancient rituals such as an offering to the earth, or working in the field next to farmers, participating in a parade during one of the many festivals, riding a Peruvian paso horse, or learning to dance to Afro-Peruvian or Andean music – there is something to suit every traveller's appetite for culture and adventure. The best way to enjoy the hospitality and kindness of a country is by immersing yourself in the culture through experiential tourism. Homestays in Lake Titicaca and community projects in the Sacred Valley offer visitors an exclusive opportunity to live within local communities and discover their heritage, language and ways of life first-hand - delivering a truly unique and unforgettable travel experience.
10,000 years of history can be seen in one of the largest networks of archaeology found in the world – and the largest in South America. Progress reached by the ancient Peruvians in the areas of arts and science never ceases to amaze. Take for example the city of Caral, the oldest in the Americas. Then there is Machu Picchu, Incan citadel and newly elected Wonder of the World. Yet there is so much more: The Nasca Lines, the mysteries of Pre-Columbian civilizations along the Moche Route in the North, like those of the Lord of Sipan and the Governess of Cao, Chan Chan, the fortress of Kuelap and the Inca Trail signify that Peru is catalogue of treasures which bear witness to its glorious past.

Halloween Chocolate Class at the Chicago CHOCOLATE ACADEMY™ center
To help area children get a head start on their candy collecting this Halloween and learn how to make a few treats of their own, Barry Callebaut will host a special "Halloween Chocolates" class at its CHOCOLATE ACADEMY™ center in Chicago. During the class, which is open to children 8 years old and older and their parents, Chocolate Academy Chef Amanda Snouffer will share the secrets for making delicious Halloween-themed treats.
Specifically, class participants will learn how to make creepy chocolate spiders using plastic molds, how to make candy bars and how to hand dip chocolate lollipops. Each parent and child team will take home their chocolate creations and will be given recipes that they can try on their own at home.
The class will take place at the Academy on Saturday, October 31, 2009 from 9 AM to 1 PM and the cost is $150 (includes one parent and one child). To register for the class, consumers may call 1-866-443-0437.


text: Monday will see the release of a two-pack of Hotflush goodies that have been staples in the label boss' set for the past few months. One of these top tunes is Scuba's remix of Detroit-based Jimmy Edgar's 'Sex Drive,' and it is phenomenal. Starting out seemingly harmless, 'Sex Drive' builds for the first minute before you're taken deep down into bouncy darkness. No lasers or flashes required for this one, just keep the lights down and the subs up. Pick it up along with SCB's remix of Scuba's 'Hardbody' on the 22nd. √+

Not at all comfortable
"I don't know why people say this shoe is comfortable - perhaps for a younger person with young feet. There's really no cushion in the bottom of this shoe and the upper portion of the shoe doesn't feel right. I will definitely be sending this one back."

"These are really versatile because of the multi-colored fabric. They're quite comfortable, but run long, so consider going down at least half a size (which is what I did)."

I think snow is pretty!
Before you pelt me with snowballs, let me follow up with the thought that I find a quiet peace in looking at a snow-covered field that has no tracks or signs of human or animal life, but I'm about snowed out for this winter.
Three Grant County natives and Transylvania University students have been named to the Dean's List for the 2009 fall term. Homeschool graduate Sophomore Caleb Ritchie is the son of Danny and Kari Ritchie of Corinth. Grant County High School graduates Juniors Katrina Mineo, an anthropology major, and Raven Mineo, a history major, are the daughters of Brian Richey and Paula Richey, both of Dry Ridge.
Eastern Kentucky
If you've got junk cars on your property in Crittenden, it may cost you.
Mayor Gayle Cayton gave the first reading of an ordinance to update the city's current nuisance regulations at the regular council meeting on Feb. 2.
"We have a lot of complaints from neighborhoods about junk cars—maybe one that is not even licensed. In the summer time, people let their yards get over-grown," Cayton said. "We had to put a little more meat into our existing ordinance."
The Williamstown boys' basketball team had to wait nine days between games because of the snow, but the Demons didn't show any rust coming out strong against Gallatin County.
The Demons played well, but turnovers ended up leading to an 81-71 loss on Feb. 11.
"We played a lot better than we did at Gallatin," coach Stacey May said. "They are at the top of the region as far as win-loss record and it was a pretty good effort from us."
(Editor's Note: The Grant County News publishes all items in police beat that are submitted from each individual police agency. The News does not omit names from police reports.)
Dry Ridge
Chief Rick Kells investigated an accident at 2:55 p.m. Feb. 9 on Clara Jean Lane. The drivers involved were Casey J. Ashcraft, 31, of Williamstown, driving a 2005 Chevrolet and Robert Mitchell, 38, of Corinth, driving a 2003 Chevrolet.
GCHS boys' basketball coach Joe Utter is looking for his team to play with a little more urgency.
With only a couple of days to go before the Braves play Walton-Verona in the district tournament, Utter wants to see his players show that they are ready to be at their best when they play a win-or-go-home game.
Navy Seaman Rick A. Krupinski, son of Louana E. Plunkett of Dry Ridge and Rick A. Krupinski of Williamstown recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Krupinski completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
"You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully." — 2 Corinthians 9:7
The generosity of a group of Williamstown children is being felt a world away.
Wonder Worship, a children's program at Williamstown Christian Church, decided to take action after hearing about the humanitarian efforts of Sgt. William "Cody" McClelland and his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan.
If you've wondered how you could help disaster victims in Haiti, the Crittenden Baptist Association has the answer.
The association, composed of 29 Southern Baptist churches from Grant, Harrison, Pendleton, Boone and Kenton counties, is collecting money through the "Buckets of Hope" campaign.
Each bucket and its content will cost $30 to assemble. An additional $10 cash donation per bucket is also needed to help offset the cost of transporting the buckets to Haiti.
Toni Wood won't get to see her son Daniel graduate with his class this spring, but she believes he didn't die in vain.
"He was awesome," she said, of her 16-year-old son who died when the Pendleton County school bus he was riding was hit by a dump truck on Ky. 22 near the Grant/Pendleton County line in May 2008.
Her other two children were passengers on the bus.
"He was very much loved and missed," she said, through tears. "He was my son, but also my best friend."

"There are three color options for this shoe. The other ones were way too colorblock clownish for me but the teal, white, tan option is incredibly chic. The gold detail is classy not gaudy. Comfy and unique - have received a bunch of compliments. The chunky heel makes them super easy to walk in! Haven't been this excited about a shoe in a while. Can't beat the price either."

text: TIMO TOLKKI (ex STRATOVARIUS) - guitars ANDRE MATOS (ex ANGRA) - vocals ULI KUSCH (ex HELLOWEEN) - drums JARI KAINULAINEN (ex STRATOVARIUS) - bass MIKKO HÄRKIN (ex SONATA ARCTICA) – keyboard ...5 top names out of 5 impressive metal bands - it's enough to have no doubt about the fact that what we have in front of us is the ultimate symphonic metal superband. Founding themselves all living in Scandinavia, they decided to join forces and express their talents in the form of a new melodic metal project: Symfonia honouring the heritage of their previous bands, Symfonia continues their superb melodic metal tradition with an incredible musicianship that is a match made in heaven. This is a force that no serious melodic metal fan will be able to ignore. All the best elements of the great European metal tradition for the last 15 years (with a touch of Latin blood, thanks to the presence of Matos) are present in this new band's sound. No more words are necessary. Just listen to the 10 songs on their debut album, and nobody can doubt the fact that "In Paradisum" is one of the metal albums of the year.

This is the conclusion to my series documenting my road trip through Scotland's remote rural areas. Start at the beginning (highlands), jump to part II (Skye), or see Part III (Ullapool to Durness).
The crisp morning air made it difficult to drag myself out from beneath the mound of heavy down blankets the hostel had opted for in place of heaters. With a groan and a roll I pulled myself upright and then wormed my toes into my boots. It didn't take long before I started to come back to life as I noticed that beyond the nearby windows, the weather looked pleasant. A revisit to Smoo Cave with its subterranean waterfall chamber had been one of the primary draws which had pulled me towards the northwestern tip of Scotland. With a yawn and a stretch, it was time to hurry down for one of the first cave tours of the day – all in the hope that I would beat out the inevitable flooding that came each afternoon as the Scottish summer rains dumped their load on to the rain-drenched hillsides of the rugged Scottish glens situated a few miles to the south. Inevitably, when the rains found their way to already damp creek beds it would quickly flood them and turn each into small rivers racing gleefully, like highland sprites, towards the coast.
The evening before had been uncharacteristically dry by the time I reached Smoo with naught but a gentle rain earlier in the afternoon. In the fading light of the late afternoon, I had paused to capture the beautiful colors and otherworldly visage of the waterfall from a wooden platform carefully constructed just inside the chamber long ago carved out by the falls' hammering fists. Both that evening and the following morning found the falls relaxed, gentle, and calm. Nowhere near the raging torrent I'd encountered some years back during my first visit. At that time, even to approach the railing left us with water in our eyes and our jackets soaked through.
To my delight there were only a couple of us waiting to commence the quick tour. With 4 GBP in hand I donned my hardhat and kept myself busy wandering the grand chamber that serves as the mouth to the cave. The chamber, carved by the sea, is a wondrous thing and the type of place that has shaped and inspired the greatest of stories through the millennia. From a dragon's fossilized maw to a dark and treacherous home to trolls and sea sirens, Smoo Cave could easily serve as inspiration for it all.…

New York City's Cafeteria restaurant is opening their new Private Dining Room (PDR) this month and guess what they get to wear! The service staff will be outfitted with !iTEM Denim and Vans shoes, so the food won't be the only thing that will look yummy. If you recall, Denim Therapy hosted an !iTEM jeans giveaway in April, so we were excited this new denim brand is becoming a mainstay at a hip NYC restaurant. We're loving the idea that Cafeteria staff wears !iTEM jeans. Note: PDR is for private events and is an extension of the main restaurant; the new space seats up to 22, complete with its own separate tasting menu and private entrance.
119 7th Ave
New York, NY 10011-1802
(212) 414-1717

In early September, the Bushfire Cooperative Research Center released a report pointing out that large swaths of New South Wales faced an unusually high risk of fire during the 2013–2014 bushfire season. Abundant rain over the past three summers had left extra grass and vegetation in many areas. Unusually high temperatures since July 2013 had also dried out forests, priming them to burn.
September 2013 proved to be the hottest on record in Australia, with most parts of New South Wales experiencing temperatures between 3 to 6 degrees Celsius (5 to 11 degrees Fahrenheit) above average. This got the fire season off to an early start, with large numbers of fires breaking out on September 10. Numerous small fires burned on and off in the Blue Mountains throughout September and early October.
By mid-October, more than 100 fires were burning in the area. On October 16, Australian military forces accidentally triggered the State Mine fire during a training exercise that involved live explosives, and it quickly became the largest of all the fires burning in the region. About two weeks after it started, the fire had charred more than 52,813 hectares (130,514 acres).
The Advanced Land Imager on the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite acquired these images of the fire and part of its burn scar on October 26, 2013. In a natural-color image, the burn scar appears brown. In the false-color image, unburned vegetation appears green, while burned areas are red. Actively burning fires are orange. The false color image is made from a combination of infrared and visible light.
Firefighters were able to protect homes from damage in Mount Wilson, Mount Victoria, and Bell, but other communities were not as fortunate. Fires destroyed 193 homes and damaged 109 in Springwood, according to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service. Victoria, Lithgow, Wyong, and Balmoral also lost homes.

A little disappointed
"I love the classic style of these shoes. They can work with a pair of sweats to-and-from the gym, jeans, or, for the daring ones, a suit. When I took them out of the box I was a little disappointed, though. There seemed to be some issues with construction. The front of the sole was crooked on one shoe and the seams on the two toes weren't symmetrical. Kind of nit-picky, but bothersome. They still get the job done, but I'm considering returning them."

Cute... if you won't be standing or walking.
"These aren't very comfortable shoes, but they are cute. They run a bit long and show some toe cleavage, but at least there's a little room for some padding to hopefully make them a bit more comfy. If your toes are even slightly wide, you might not want to get these - the toe box has no give."

Stylish and comfy
"This shoe ran a little long so there was too much "toe cleavage". I usually wear a size 7, but I had to exchange for a 6.5. It is wide enough to fit my feet comfortable and there's some heel to it. It's stylish but not too over the top that I couldn't wear it to work. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of five is because it's a little long, but otherwise I love this shoe!"

The Warhammer Online development team has posted a notice on the official site that states that the game will cease operations on December 18th. The official notice is quite terse but a personal reflection post by Producer Carrie Gouskos is also available on the site.
Greetings Warhammer Online Subscribers,
We here at Mythic have built an amazing relationship working with Games Workshop creating and running Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning over the last 8 years. Unfortunately, as with all licensing deals they do eventually come to end and on December 18th, 2013 we will no longer be operating Warhammer Online. As such we will no longer be selling 3 month game time codes or have the ability to auto renew your accounts for 3 months as of September 18th, 2013. If you would like to read some additional thoughts from one of WAR's Producer please check out http://www.warhammeronline.com/. From all of us here at Mythic we thank you again for your dedication and support over the last five years.
If you have any questions please feel free contact us via email at email@example.com.

Life of an MMORPG "addict"
For 7 years, proving that if you quote "fuck" you won't get banned.
EA/Bioware/Mythic should be ashamed of themselves.
The game had its problems, but they gave up on it, and its playerbase, far too soon. The majority of games that have come out over the last several years have had problems. The difference here is that the other game companies have put legitimate effort into improving those games, while EA and Mythic decided to pull the plug on real support after about a year.
The RvR in WAR was actually a lot of fun, and the game could have been improved and salvaged.
Shame on Mythic.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

DAOC doesnt have that ip handicap so who knows ...
Sucks balls :-(
I held out a very unrealistic hope that it would eventually go free to play and attract back a decent audience but it was a pipe dream given the many aspects of the game that fell short of acceptable. Still, lot of good times in this game and I will miss my little 'waaargh'-y greenskin shaman :-(

i think they decided to shut it down instead of saving it as F2P because Swtor is not doing well with their awful hybrid model. Since Mythic is also part of EA they just opted to let it die. My opinion, of course.
I never played SWG but i remember when it shut down SOE said the license ended, then EA took the license and made Swtor. Now WAR's license is ending, i hope a better company gets revives it or make a better version. I would definitelly have played this game without a sub.
Paul Barnett was just AWESOME... the actual game was not so awesome, unfortunately.
Biggest prerelease hype ever!
I am a little sad.
Yet, they had so many good ideas like the tomb of knowledge or open quests - now ALL MMOs have those things.
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
It was about time.
This was the first WoW clone (with some DAOC twist), so as it signaled the start of an era, I hope its demise signals the start of a new era (the end of WoW clones)
For the people complaining......................WAR wasn't good enough, didn't have enough paying customers and therefore it had to go.
Sorry to say this, but mediocre games deserve this fate.
Developers need to start making real MMOs and should stop chasing the Holy Graal..................maybe they should look at older games pre-WoW, which by the way are all still alive.

That certainly IS true. I had good in with my Bright Mage raining down fire on Chaos players. Still, it was just very ugly, totally imbalanced, lame PVE and was overall just a very mediocre MMO. But they just gave it up! It'S what we have seen so often, when a MMO goes wrong, big companies just drop it like a hot potatoe. They take no effort to turn it around, especially in the case of EA.
And look at the screenshots! It looks like 15 years old not five years. So much to the theory that cartoony ages better, eh?
People don't ask questions to get answers - they ask questions to show how smart they are. - Dogbert
Swtor next?
I remember playing the beta for WAR, and the game kept crashing. It was actually a good game too.

they're prob shutting down to make room for the new Warhammer MMO thats in the works (warhammer 40k). Like what Star Wars did. Also maybe this means they're go back to the game they dropped for this one. The based on what if the roman empire never died... I wanna say Imperator? maybe
This is also true, as I tried to explain many times in the SWG case, you cannot have 2 MMOs with the same IP running at the same time because of licensing rights reasons.
I really enjoyed this game with my friends on the Phoenix Throne RP server (before merges)
If they would have put out a expansion..even now I would buy it and hope it had all the cities that was in the closed beta that was never released.
This is very sad
Some great zones, and classes, but ultimately too restricted.
Anyone remember this version by Climax before Mythic's version?
Wonder how that would have turned out instead?

I agree, but I'm not hoping for revival, just a total reboot.
The world needs a good Warhammer MMO. The IP is just so awesome, it's a shame Mythic didn't understand it at all. A multi-fraction PvP game set in The Old World could be really great, and it's too bad a whole generation of gamers will now associate the Warhammer IP with this trainwreck of a game.
Sure, it had its moments and I was pretty addicted to the RvR for a time. But it had so many serious design flaws and some really sloppy made content that it was doomed from the start - especially considered the ridiculous pre-launch hype.

Keep daydreaming.
Wishing a game to shut down just because you don't like is bellow low.
*heavy sigh* Knew it was coming, but still ****ing sucks to hear.
So much potential wasted; leave it to EA to squander the honor of such a prestigious IP. Creative Assembly has the rights for a new Fantasy title (iirc 1 game), but their track record with Empire TW and now Rome 2 TW doesn't bode well. At least 40k has the DoW franchise; boggles my mind how often companies **** up creating a game with the Warhammer name.
Could have held the game in development for just 2 more years and many of the problems faced at launched would have been resolved. Hell, even 1 additional year would had been great; but nope, EA had to push out the title because Mythic was loosing profits when they took them over. Overhype it and make the return on box sales. Then never give the players any real content update (really, you call LotD an expansion?!) and keep it at a 15$ subscription fee. It boils the blood.
I get the feeling that WAR pays the price for SWtOR's F2P conversation failure. ****ing ironic, since the rumor going around WAR was that our subscription profits went to SWtOR's abnormally high development cost.
P.S. - If I seem angry/ranting, I am and I love this IP so seeing it thrown away and pissed on irritates the **** out of me.
Nature without Technology is little more than animals running about.
Nature without Magic is without wonder or miracle.

Technology without Nature is application without understanding.
Technology without Magic is repetitious and uninventive.

Literally carved directly into vibrant red, white, pink, and sandstone cliff faces, the prehistoric Jordanian city of Petra was "lost" to the Western world for hundreds of years.
Located amid rugged desert canyons and mountains in what is now the southwestern corner of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Petra was once a thriving trading center and the capital of the Nabataean empire between 400 B.C. and A.D. 106.
The city sat empty and in near ruin for centuries. Only in the early 1800s did a European traveler disguise himself in Bedouin costume and infiltrate the mysterious locale.
In 1985, the Petra Archaeological Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and in 2007 it was named one of the new seven wonders of the world.
Indiana Jones Location
Several scenes from the Hollywood blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Last Crusadewere filmed in Petra. The movie's fictional Canyon of the Crescent Moon was modeled on the eastern entrance to Petra, a 250-foot-high (76-meter-high) sandstone slot canyon known as the Siq that leads directly to Al Khazneh (the Treasury)—perhaps the most stunning of Petra's dozens of breathtaking features.
In the film's climactic final scenes, actors Harrison Ford and Sean Connery burst forth from the Siq and walk deep into the labyrinths of the Treasury in their quest to find the Holy Grail. But, as usual, archaeological fact bowed to Hollywood fiction when Indy came to Petra.
In reality, the Treasury is nothing more than a facade with a relatively small hall once used as a royal tomb.
"You can't really say that anything in Indiana Jones is accurate," Haifa University archaeologist Ronny Reich said. "I was once asked in the United States if one of the responsibilities of Israeli archaeologists is to chase down Nazis. I told them, 'Not any more. Now we just chase down pretty women.'"
A giant urn carved above the entrance to the Treasury bears the marks of hundreds of gunshots. Bedouin tribesmen living in and among the ancient ruins say the damage was caused when local men would open fire with rifles, seeking the loot thought to be inside the urn (actually made of solid stone).
There are dozens of tombs and other carved or constructed structures and sites within Petra.
Advanced Society
The Nabataeans, before they were conquered and absorbed into the Roman Empire, controlled a vast tract of the Middle East from modern-day Israel and Jordan into the northern Arabian peninsula. The remains of their innovative networks of water capture, storage, transport, and irrigation systems are found to this day throughout this area.
Scholars know the Nabataeans were in Petra since at least 312 B.C., says archaeologist Zeidoun Al-Muheisen of Jordan's Yarmouk University.
Al-Muheisen, who has been excavating in Petra since 1979 and specializes in the Nabataean period, says no one has yet found any archaeological evidence dating back to the fourth century B.C. The earliest findings thus far date back only to the second and first centuries B.C.
But more clues remain beneath the surface. "We have uncovered just 15 percent of the city," he says. "The vast majority—85 percent—is still underground and untouched."
Numerous scrolls in Greek and dating to the Byzantine period were discovered in an excavated church near the Winged Lion Temple in Petra in December 1993.
Researchers at the American Center of Oriental Research in Amman, the capital, are now analyzing the scrolls and hope they will shed light on life in Petra during this period.
Once Rome formally took possession of Petra in A.D. 106, its importance in international trade began to wane. The decay of the city continued, aided by earthquakes and the rise in importance of sea trade routes, and Petra reached its nadir near the close of the Byzantine Empire's rule, around A.D. 700.
Visitors today can see varying blends of Nabataean and Greco-Roman architectural styles in the city's tombs, many of which were looted by thieves and their treasures thus lost.
Today, local Bedouins selling tourist souvenirs hawk their wares not far from the place where Arabs believe Moses struck a rock with his staff, causing water to burst forth: "A knife for the wife? A gun for the son?"

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Genesis 46:1-7
So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here am I." Then he said, "I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of you a great nation. I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again; and Joseph's hand shall close your eyes." Then Jacob set out from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. They also took their cattle and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him, his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters; all his offspring he brought with him into Egypt.

Law Professors React to U.S. Supreme Court Decisions
Several big U.S. Supreme Court opinions were handed down this week, and three School of Law professors have offered up their expert take on the rulings.
This week, the United States Supreme Court issued several rulings that have created major shockwaves around the national. Three Saint Louis University School of Law professors have taken a look at these cases and offered more about the impact these rulings will have.
Affirmative Action
|Aaron Taylor, J.D.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed down its opinion in the Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin case Monday morning, which dealt with the issue of affirmative action programs in higher education admissions. The justices ruled that the lower court did not hold the University of Texas' program to strict enough scrutiny and sent the case back for further review.
Aaron Taylor, J.D., assistant professor of law and one of the School of Law's education law experts, tweeted about the decision after it was announced. Read a roundup of his tweets about the case at the School of Law's website.
Taylor said after reading the opinion that he's not optimistic about the UT program's chances during its new review.
"The chances of this policy being upheld are not favorable," he said. "Texas will have to actually demonstrate that it has exhausted every 'workable race-neutral alternative' alternative in achieving the compelling interest of diversity. This is a significant departure from previous precedent, which deferred to the expertise of universities in the realm of admissions. In other words, Texas will have to answer to the court in a way that universities never have before."
Voting Rights Act
|Marcia McCormick, J.D.
In a 5-4 decision, the justices struck down a key section of the Voting Rights Act, which was originally passed in 1965 and recently renewed in 2006. The section provided a formula for determining which jurisdictions needed pre-clearance from the federal government to change their election laws. The court did not strike down the pre-clearance requirement as a whole, which was a possibility, but striking down the formula deals a serious blow to the enforcement of the law. Marcia McCormick, J.D., an expert on civil rights, discrimination and constitutional law, answered a few questions about what that meant and what the implications of the ruling might be.
"In one sense, the ruling was a little surprising because the Court did not directly address the section of the Voting Rights Act that was really the basis for challenges in recent years, section 5," said McCormick. "That is the section that requires certain states and some counties to pre-clear any proposed changes to voting practices with the Department of Justice or a panel of three federal judges. It was surprising that the Court limited its holding to section 4(b) of the Act. That section provides the formula for determining which states and counties must pre-clear changes."
Read more of McCormick's opinion on the ruling online.
Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8
|Jeff Redding J.D.
On the last day of its 2013 session, the Court handed down opinions in two cases regarding same-sex marriage. In the first, United States v. Windsor, the court ruled that a section of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between a man and a woman was unconstitutional. The second, Hollingsworth v. Perry, was over the constitutionality of California's same-sex marriage ban (Proposition 8). In that case, the court declined to rule on procedural grounds.
Jeff Redding, J.D., a constitutional and family law expert, provided his thoughts on the rulings.
"The two Supreme Court opinions on same-sex marriage are remarkable, perhaps primarily because in taking on and attempting to resolve some major legal questions, these two highly anticipated opinions leave so many legal issues unanswered and unsettled. I always tell people that if they want to learn a lot about civil procedures, conflicts and constitutional law, then the ongoing same-sex marriage litigation controversies are a great place to explore all three areas of law simultaneously — and that of family law, too.

"These shoes are WONDERUL! Ive been wanting these shoes for awhile now. Ive tried them on multiple times and finally ordered them online! They run a little long so I had to go down a half size and order an 8 1/2. Other than that they are perfect. They are comfortable, my feet dont slide in them, the toes dont pinch, and best of all they arent wide like almost every other shoe i try on!!! If you want a comfortable platform heel and have feet that arent technically "narrow" but run on the slender side then these are the shoes for you."
