Took 10 Years..
We've lived in Whitefish Bay 10 years and it finally happened.
We woke up one morning and my wife said .. "Oh, crap. We left the car in the street over-night."
Maybe we won't have a ticket, I foolishly thought. Maybe they saw our car and thought, hey, I know that car. I'll bet they just forgot to pull their car into their driveway. No need to penalize them.
Not a chance .. there, in blaze orange was our $15 night-parking ticket.
Man, I hate that law. How does $7,000 in yearly property taxes not give you the right to park in front of your house?
Yes, yes, I know you can get permission, 15 times per year, to park in front of your own residence. Well, we forgot the car was out there. We don't have a garage, which means we have to jocky our two cars in and out occasionally, sometimes parking in the street for one spouse to pull in first.
I can't say I understand the premise of the 3am-5am parking restriction. To prevent crime? Not sure I believe that. The car parked next to my house is far more hidden than one on the street. To control the number of cars each household can own? That doesn't make much sense, as if you have a long driveway, you could easily park a half-dozen cars on your drive. Maybe it's so the street sweepers can do a good job. Of course, they don't roll at 3am-5am, so that's no good.
Seriously, if anyone knows the theory behind this law, I'd love to hear it.
In the meantime, how about "retro-active" permission instead of writing tickets?

Have you read
Another story in the Baki world, this series follows Kaoru Hanayama's story
"To be the strongest in the world!" That is Baki Hanma's dream. The mysterious, young, martial artist aspires to follow in his sinister father's footsteps as the world's strongest creature. But to what lengths will Baki go? We follow the young grappler as he matures in a world full of some of the strongest fighters and how he overcomes all obstacles in order to face his father one day in the fighting ring. From the jungles to and underground martial arts tournament, Baki is put to the test from fighters all over the world.
Baki Hanma is a generally happy student with a rather odd hobby; he likes fighting. Specifically, he likes fighting in a secret martial arts tournament that gathers the greatest fighters of the world and pits them against each other in really nasty combat. Whether you're a sumo wrestler, a karate expert, or a guy who specializes in ripping out your opponent's nerves, you're welcome to participate (as long as you can keep quiet about it, of course). Anyway, Baki may be the youngest fighter the tournament has ever seen, but he's also the best, and he really enjoys what he does.

Environmental Security, Stable Social Order and Culture
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
* It is my great pleasure to participate in this symposium on "Environmental Security, Stable Social Order and Culture". I must also take this opportunity to especially welcome one of our distinguished panelists - Madame Shabana Azmi. I know all of you will join me in congratulating her on her winning the prestigious Filmfare Best Actress of the year Award. We must recognize that films like ideas have consequences. They shape the concepts and vocabularies that we use to approach the problems of our time.
* We cannot narrow our vision to only railroads, bridges and factories. Nor can we narrow our endeavours merely to imitation. We must make economic prosperity foster intellectual and spiritual contributions which keep our civilizations alive and contribute to the onward march of human civilization.
* A great man once said:
"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the culture of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any."
* That man was Mahatma Gandhi.
* I believe we would do well to remember his words today.
* The issue of culture and values has seldom enjoyed more attention in the study of international relations. At the core of much of this discussion is the issue of diversity versus homogeneity.
* The great economic and social issues of our time are intimately linked with the quest for political stability. But a more significant long-term development of the past few years has been the intensification of the debate concerning the impact of the current ecological crises on the political stability of nations, and regions and even within societies.
* Today, people around the world, particularly in the developing world are struggling to survive in the face of growing deserts, dwindling forests, declining fisheries, poisoned food, water, air and climatic extremes and weather events that continue to intensify - floods, droughts and hurricanes.
* The question that must be asked is whether the scarcity of renewable resources - such as cropland, forest, freshwater and fisheries - could precipitate violent civil or international conflicts?
* There are clear signs that environmental scarcities could contribute to violent conflicts in many parts of the world. In the coming decades, accelerating environmental pressures could transform the very foundations of the international political system.
* Typically, when people are faced with a severely degraded environment, the behavioral strategy of choice is migration.
* There are at least 25 million environmental refugees today, a total to be compared with 22 million refugees of traditional kind. The total may well double by the year 2010, as increasing numbers of impoverished people press ever harder on their already degraded environments.
* Let us take the availability of water first. Supplies of fresh water are finite. The populations of water-short countries today, estimated to be 550 million, are expected to increase to one billion by the year 2010. Water shortages will be especially adverse for agriculture in general and irrigation agriculture in particular.
* As the demand grows and in the absence of clear consensus on how best to use shared water resources for the benefit of all, that competition has the potential of erupting into acrimonious disputes.
* Nearly 47 per cent of the land area of the world excluding Antarctica falls within international water basins that are shared by two or more countries. There are 44 countries with at least 80 per cent of their total areas within international basins. The number of rivers and lake basins shared by two or more countries is now more than 300. In Africa alone, there are 54 drainage basins that cover approximately 50 per cent of the total land area of the continent.
* An even greater threat to future human welfare is through the undermining of the productivity of the land through accelerated soil erosion, increased flooding and declining soil fertility.
* The rate at which arable land is being lost is increasing and is currently 30-35 times the historical rate. Only about one and a half billion hectares remain out of the original three and a half billion. The loss of potential productivity due to soil erosion world wide is estimated to be equivalent to some 20 million tons of grain per year or 1% of global production.
* The growing number of people affected by desertification - estimated to be one billion - are not simply waiting to be touched by the magic wand of development. They are literally "losing ground", as their lands suffer more and more from the effects of this disease.
* The continuous decline of global biological diversity and the traditional habitats of indigenous and traditional people also has an impact on intensifying conflicts between and within societies.
* Most of the areas of mega-biodiversity are inhabited by indigenous and traditional people. They provide an inextricable link between cultural and biological diversity.
* Today, we are in the process of profoundly remaking international trade and markets. Globalization and international trade have become almost an ideology, promising a radiant future for us all. But is there a dark side? Have we looked at other impacts? For example, is globalization destroying subsistence agriculture? Are we co-opting Third World farmers into production for the international marketplace, while their societies are made dependent on imported food?
* According to UNEP's forthcoming publication "Cultural and Spiritual Values of Biodiversity" nearly 2,500 languages are in immediate danger of extinction. And "even a higher number are losing the "ecological contexts" that keep them vibrant as languages".
* Cultural diversity is more than skin colour or physical characteristics. It is more than language, song and dance. It is the embodiment of values, institutions and patterns of behaviour. It is a composite whole representing a people's historical experience, aspirations and world view. Deprive a people of their language, culture and spiritual values, and you deprive them of their sense of direction and purpose.
* Political conflicts occur when political and economic institutions and processes wrest control over traditionally held resources without negotiations or compensation. Conflicts could occur when political and economic institutions and processes degrade environmental settings, and place individuals and populations at risk.
* Political conflicts occur because people find themselves forcibly relocated while governments and industry expand export-oriented industries, develop international tourist facilities and set aside the biocommons for development.
Ladies and Gentlemen
* I would also like to refer to the increasing phenomenon of urban violence as a threat to the existing social order. Urban violence is a multifaceted phenomenon. It includes common crimes against private property, violent crime, abuse of women and children, murder, drug-related offences and the trade in women and children. It also involves uncivic acts such as the careless destruction of public spaces and domestic violence.
* Urban violence creates a feeling of insecurity among inhabitants. It tears the social fabric of cities, threatening the foundations of democratic institutions. It erodes the social capital of the urban poor and increases the vulnerability of groups already at risk. It creates urban ghettos. As urban violence often occurs in a climate of corruption, it often leads to the development of organized crime.
* Urban violence is not a spontaneous occurrence. It is, above all, the product of social exclusion. Measures that protect urban communities from deprivation, unemployment, homelessness, illiteracy, injustice and social disintegration will also protect them from crime and violence.
* Rapid urbanization and poverty partly explain the scale and extent of urban violence and crime. But there are other factors as well. I refer to the political and economic climate, local traditions and values, and the degree of social cohesion and solidarity among urban communities. Erosion of moral values and the collapse of social structures and institutions, such as the family or the neighbourhood, put communities more at risk from urban violence and crime.
* Fear prevents people - particularly women - choose not to use the streets, parks and other public spaces. This kind of self-imposed social isolation among large sections of the urban population affects not only their mobility. It also affects their productivity as more and more people choose to stay at home rather than risk their lives on the streets.
* The traditional criminal justice institutions, such as the police and the judiciary, alone cannot stop the escalation of urban violence or even control it. Today there is a consensus that reducing crime is everybody's responsibility and that it should include prevention.
* Cities have a primary role in coordinating the activities aimed at reducing crime, particularly those activities aimed at crime prevention.
* As stated in the Habitat Agenda, local governments should work in partnership with all interested parties to prevent, reduce and eliminate violence and crime. They have to promote crime prevention through social development. They must find ways to help communities deal with underlying factors that undermine community safety and result in crime. They have to promote personal security and reduce fear by improving police services. They must make police services more accountable to the communities they serve. And they must encourage the formation of community-based crime prevention measures and systems.
* To implement such an approach, cities require a rigorous appraisal of the crime situation, a local action plan adopted by key city actors based on clear priorities. This partnership approach is innovative. It does not look at security as being exclusively the responsibility and concern of the State, the police or private security services.
* Rather, it involves a local coalition of key actors who participate in the local diagnosis of insecurity, and in the formulation and implementation of the solutions. It makes the police and the justice systems more accessible to the people. It makes each citizen an actor in the (re)building of security. It is also innovative in generating practices such as community policing; alternative justice systems or mediation practices; special committees addressing urban safety for women; NGOs and police forces committed to dealing with domestic violence, etc.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
* The half decade since the demise of the Cold War has been characterized by numerous attempts at redefining the notion of security.
* The classical conception of security in world politics is rooted in Walter Lippmann's famous contention that security is about the possession by a state of a level of military capability sufficient to avert the danger of having to sacrifice core values, if it wishes to avoid war, and is able, if challenged, to maintain them by victory in such a war.
* This traditional conception of security is now being challenged by the emergence of new issues. As military threats have subsided or disappeared, other threats, especially environmental ones, have emerged with greater clarity. It is thus possible to argue that environmental care is an essential component of national or international security.
* Armed force is impotent in the face of ecological breakdown. It is relentless ecological degradation, rather than any external enemy, which poses the gravest threat to international and national security today.
* Clearly, any aspect which threatens the survival of the planet and its human and non-human inhabitants should be treated as a security threat. International security has to rest on the elimination of the real scourges of humankind - hunger, disease, illiteracy, poverty and deterioration of the earth's life systems.
* The global community must improve its ability to identify emerging environmental problems and assess alternative responses. Formulating effective global, regional and national policies on matters vital to our future requires the ability, the foresight capability to make accurate, long term projections of global trends and their interactions in areas such as population, natural resources, environmental quality and other factors of geopolitical significance. It also requires a structure to link the results of such projections directly to current decision making.
* Foresight is not prediction. It is not central planning. And it is not a surrender to computer models. Rather it is a process for bringing better information into the decision making process, for linking analysis and decision, and for obtaining the best available description of the potential implications of policy choices. Foresight capability is a means for giving substance to the ecologist insight that "everything is connected". Foresight is the capability to effectively assess and monitor the long-term changes in the environment. It will also give us the ability to identify environmental hot spots with the potential of breaking into violent conflicts.
* Environmental security can also be improved by reducing the distance between the decision makers and the people who are supposed to benefit from their decisions. The challenge before the global community is to design enabling mechanisms to increase people's participation in development. And it has to maintain an effective two-way information link between national governments, international agencies and local communities and to ensure that the benefits of sustainable development reach the marginalized, the politically invisible masses.

Love them!
"I bought these to have comfortable walking sandals for warm/hot weather. They are exactly what I needed. I have some issues with plantar faciitis. With these sandals, my feet are comfortable on long walks and just standing at my kitchen counter for 2 hours while I stuffed envelopes for work. I normally take a 10-10 1/2 size shoe; but with these sandals, size 9 fit the best; size 10 was too long."

Travel Sandal
"Please note that these run long. I'm between a 9 and a 9.5 and the 9.5 was way to big for me.I was looking for a supportive but cute sandal to take on a vacation (read lots of walking). I have an older pair of Tevas that I love so I ordered multiple styles to try. These were comfy and supportive but a little bulkier than the Tevaspheres that I ended up keeping."

Most comfortable sandals I've ever owned
"I absolutely love these shoes! They are so comfortable that I walk miles in them. They have good arch support. The straps are all adjustable and do not rub. They are completely waterproof; you can wear them at the beach and into the water and the footbed feels like a cushion. There are 16 colors to choose from. The only improvement that could be made is that they have grooved lines in the footbed where dirt can collect making it harder to clean. Get rid of those grooves and this shoe would be perfect!"

Concerned for Emery Post Office
I am one of many seniors residing in Emery City. On Oct 11, I attended a meeting to discuss alternatives to the possible closing of our post office.
The worst of the given alternatives, was to use the Ferron post office. Ferron is 14 miles from Emery. The cost of fuel would have folks paying nearly $4 per day to receive mail providing that they collect it daily.
No matter what was said on Oct.11, the Ferron parking lot is too small and proximity to the school directly across the street presents a danger as I have noticed children running out into the street.
Another idea was cluster boxes,the better of the alternatives. The roadside gets slick and the elderly could slip and break a hip or worse. The best idea is to leave it be the way it is.
Stopping Saturday delivery, retirement buy out, selling excess postal property would be a good start. Billions of dollars in retirements spent each year is a much larger cost than the Emery post office.
I personally have health problems that I feel would hinder a daily 28 mile drive,but I never know when my much needed medication will arrive.
I have sent e-mails and letters to every senator and congressman I know and so often, but it's the pocket padding lobbyist we need to get rid of.
Howard Barnes, Emery

On Saturday, the Wallabies return to the scene of their 2010 humiliation of France chasing a sixth straight victory over the hosts.
On Saturday, the Wallabies return to the scene of the crime of their 2010 humiliation of France chasing a sixth straight victory over the hosts.
Les Bleus were booed off the field by their own fans after conceding 59 points on that fateful evening at the Stade de France as the cracks in Marc Lièvremont's relationship with his players began to emerge.
How things have changed! France will field a starting XV this weekend featuring just three survivors from that ill-fated team – Fulgence Ouedraogo, Nicolas Mas and Thomas Domingo while Morgan Parra and Yoann Huget are on the bench.
The Wallaby team is also almost entirely different with Nathan Sharpe the only player to be wearing the same number he did back then. Kurtley Beale and Adam Ashley-Cooper also return, but in different roles.
Despite all the changes and new faces compared to that freezing night in Paris two years ago, Philippe Saint-André is actually sending out a relatively settled unit. Indeed, the core of what was thought to be an 'experimental' side that thumped Argentina in June has been retained.
At Thursday's team announcement PSA was at pains to stress that at 2, 8, 9,10 and 15 he has retained the players that performed well on tour. It's also worth noting that the midfield is also unchanged, meaning France's most exciting player, Wesley Fofana, has been moved a bit further away from the action and must settle for a place on the wing.
The average age of the team has dropped from 30 last season to 26 this weekend, which bodes well for the future.
Robbie Deans is in a very different position. Far from being spoilt for choice, a brutal spate of injuries over the last few months has meant the Wallaby coach's side largely picks itself.
But for once this year, Deans too has had the the benefit of some continuity and the tourists will certainly be buoyed by their record-halting draw against the All Blacks a fortnight ago.
The Aussies wrestled their way to that result with more guts than flash which is a positive sign in terms of the spirit within the team. With afternoon rain expected to leave the pitch wet and slippery, more of the same might be needed on the outskirts of the French capital.
With the Wallabies unlikely to drop out of the top three in the world rankings this month, France have far more to gain on Saturday as victory will lift them above England and into that key top four spot ahead of the draw for the 2015 World Cup.
In many ways, this November represents the first stage in the build up to the big event in England three years from now. Starting that journey on a positive note is the ultimate goal for all.
Players to watch:
For France: Mercurial Toulon playmaker Frederic Michalak's stop-start international career received a further boost when he was named ahead of Francois Trinh-Duc at fly-half. Mickalak returned to France from the Sharks with plans a gunning for the number nine jersey, where he's been playing most of his rugby lately (inside Jonny Wilkinson) but won't be complaining about being tasked guiding France's attack. Toulouse flanker Yannick Nyanga is playing his first international since the ill-tempered third-place play-off of the 2007 World Cup against Argentina. Nyanga, who takes over from injured captain Thierry Dusautoir, was one of the few players in France who didn't receive a call up during the Lièvremont era but is finally getting his chance. Filling the boots of last year's IRB Player of the Year is no easy task though.
For Australia: Just when all seemed lost for the injury-depleted Wallabies, Michael Hooper emerged as a world-class flank. With David Pocock's return imminent and Dave Dennis continually failing to impress, a strong performance from Hooper would make a strong case his retention in the starting XV against England next week. With Quade Cooper in the dog box, and likely to stay there, Kurtley Beale has an opportunity to cement his place as Australia's number one playmaker for the next few years.
Head-to-head: France have essentially picked two opensides to counteract the Wallabies' ability to move the point of attack across the field at pace but the real fireworks could be in the clash between two bulldozing number eights, Louis Picamoles and Wycliff Palu. This will be Palu's second game back after a long spell on the sidelines and he'll be eager to impress against one of Europe's in-form loose forwards. The battle of the replacement front rows is set to be interesting with France enjoying the luxury of having Clermont's entire (very heavy) front row on their bench while Australia are fielding a rookie prop in the form of Paddy Ryan, who will have a target on his back if he comes on.
Previous results:
2010:Australia won 59-16 in Paris
2009: Australia won 22- 6 in Sydney
2008: Australia won 18-13 in Paris
2008: Australia won 40-10 in Brisbane
2008: Australia won 34-13 in Sydney
2005: France won 26-16 in Marseille
2005: Australia won 37-31 in Brisbane
2004: France won 27-14 in Paris
2002: Australia won 31-25 in Sydney
2002: Australia won 29-17 in Melbourne
2001: France won 14-13 in Marseille
Prediction: A very tough one to call. The history books point towards the Wallabies and it's hard to judge this French side on the basis of their last outing against a third-string Pumas outfit. So many back-line players starting out of their regular club positions is a worry. Man for man – on paper at least – the French probably have a stronger side, but they haven't played together in five months. Despite all their injuries, Wallabies showed their quality by claiming a draw against the All Blacks last time out which suggests they're good enough to retain the Trophée des Bicentenaries. However, after a gruelling Rugby Championship campaign, we reckon the tourists might be running on empty. France by three or four points

For the first time since he bought the franchise in 1960, Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson junior is giving up organization control. WGR 550 has learned CEO Russ Brandon will officially be named Team President during a noon news conference today. It will be carried live on WGR.
WGR has also learned Buddy Nix will be staying on as General Manager in the short term, likely through the April draft. Nix will then be succeeded by Assistant G-M Doug Whaley.
Brandon, Nix and Whaley will be conducting the search for the new head coach and that search will begin tomorrow when the trio head out on the road to start the interviews. A league source tells WGR the first stop will be Arizona where the Bills brain trust will interview former Cardinals Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt and Cards Defensive Coordinator Ray Horton.
Only once before has Wilson given the title of Team President to another individual and that was back in 2000 when it was handed to Tom Donahoe. But Wilson never gave up organizational control and would always have the final say on all football matters. Those days are now over with a symbolic passing of the torch to Brandon who has been told "its your show".
WGR has confirmed the Bills have been contacted by former Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith who has expressed an interest in the job. WGR has also confirmed the Bills will interview Syracuse Head Coach Doug Marrone.
A source also tells WGR the Bills will "take a hard run at Chip Kelly" and that there are no restrictions or limitations when it comes to the search for a coach. With Wilson removing himself from the day to day operations, Brandon, Nix and Whaley have complete authority to hire the coach and will not need approval from Wilson, which has been standard operating procedure for the franchise. The Bills would prefer a coach with NFL experience and one that has already been a head coach, pro or college. They would like a coach who has experience managing a team.
WGR has learned more than 2 dozen coaches have already contracted the Bills to express interest in the position.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This is the 13th year the Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition is sponsoring an awareness and educational program for the community. The program will be held on Oct. 12 from noon to 1 p.m. at the county building in Castle Dale. Lunch will be provided by the Coalition and door prizes will be given away. There is no fee and everyone is welcome to attend.
Event organizers said, "Our guest speaker/performer this year is Karsyn Robb. Karsyn is 16 and writes her own songs and music. She has brought inspiration to victims of domestic violence with her song "You Told Me". Karsyn was born and raised in Park City, Utah. Her parents are Shawna and Michael and she has an older sister, Jaci, who is 24. Jaci is a graduate student majoring in psychology at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Karsyn maintains a 3.9 grade point average at Park City High School. She is an honor student and she plans to graduate after this year to pursue majors in song writing and music business in college. Karsyn has been active in the Big Brother/Sister program and has mentored a child for three years. She works part-time as an office assistant.Her mother describes Karsyn as a fun, energetic and compassionate person who loves people.
"Karsyn has performed in numerous musical productions and dance competitions for the past 10 years where she developed a sense of ease and love for being on stage. Five years ago, she began guitar, writing songs and composing music. Karsyn's coach is Dean Kaelin, who also coaches David Archuletta. She has penned more than 200 songs on the guitar, piano, and mandolin.
Karsyn performs widely throughout Utah and ventures out of the state as well. Her music, a mixture of country and pop inspired by artists such as Jewel, Taylor Swift, and Michelle Branch, is filled with passion and heart.Karsyn says she loves to perform solo because she likes to connect with the audience. She also enjoys playing with a band because of the great energy it produces.
"Although her journey is just beginning, Karsyn is making her mark on the music world. In 2010, she was awarded First Place in the Utah Health Department Media/Song contest with "You Told Me". All proceeds from the single are donated to the Peace House, a local women's shelter in Park City. Most recent accomplishments include: Top 10 Finalist for Best Female Artist at the 2011 International Acoustic Music Awards; "Featured Artist" and "Best of Orion 2011" at the Orion Independent Music Festival; Finalist in "Judges Choice" for five of her songs at the Durango Songwriters Expo 2011; and performances on Fox News, Santa Barbara Showcase, Deer Valley Music Festival, and many other venues.

"I was so excited to find a winter boot without zippers, but these were so disappointing. They were ugly, looked like Jetsons boots, and didn't come as far up the leg as I thought they would. Mostly, they were too uncomfortable to even wear around the room. The heels have a support in them that wrapped back around into my heel and I felt like it was cutting into my skin.

The Reds will be out for revenge against the Western Force when these sides meet in this Australian derby in Perth on Saturday.
The Reds will be out for revenge against the Western Force when these sides meet in this Australian derby in Perth on Saturday.
The Force claimed a shock 19-12 victory in the previous match between these sides in Brisbane in Round five and also claimed a 45-19 win in Perth in 2012.
That defeat in Brisbane will still be rankling with the Reds and it could come back to haunt them during the business end of the competition.
Force wing Rory Dellit revealed earlier this week that the men from Perth felt that the Queenslanders underestimated them in that clash, although he does not expect the 2011 champions to make the same mistake again.
"I think they were expecting to run over the top of us," he told AAP.
"They thought they were going to walk over us.
"And the fact we beat them at Suncorp for the first time in our club's history, it was a great win.
"I'm sure they'll take us a bit more cautiously this time.
"We know they'll come out firing.
"They think they owe us one. But for these big matches, we want to get up and show our supporters what we can do."
The Force have been struggling to build momentum this season and their inconsistent form must be frustrating for their fans.
Apart from that win over the Reds, their only other victory was at home against the Crusaders in Round nine.
But despite those triumphs, against two tournament winning sides, they suffered a humiliating 41-7 loss to two-times champions the Brumbies in Canberra last weekend.
Reds boss Ewen McKenzie expects the Force to improve considerably on that showing.
"That was a really good style of a win by the Brumbies but take out that match and the Force have been a tough, determined team all season," he told The Australian.
"We've got to park that game and basically pretend it never happened."
Reds wing Digby Ioane will be in the spotlight after it was confirmed that he will be furthering his career in France at the end of the Super Rugby season.
Much will also depend on the performances of the Reds' halfbacks, Will Genia and Quade Cooper. If this duo are on top of their game it could be one-way traffic for the men from Brisbane.
Prediction: Despite playing away from home, the Reds will have too much class for their less glamorous neighbours and will win by 14 points!
Western Force: 15 Sam Norton-Knight, 14 Patrick Dellit, 13 Ben Jacobs, 12 Kyle Godwin, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Matt Hodgson (c), 5 Sam Wykes, 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Kieran Longbottom, 2 Heath Tessmann, 1 Pek Cowan.

Scotland interim coach Scott Johnson has awarded a Test debut to wing Sean Maitland for Saturday's Six Nations clash with England.
Interim head coach Scott Johnson has awarded a Test debut to wing Sean Maitland for Saturday's Six Nations opener against England at Twickenham.
In addition to New Zealand-born Maitland, the Kiwi's Glasgow Warriors team-mate Dougie Hall gets his first start in six years at hooker while number eight Johnnie Beattie is recalled to the side.
In all, Johnson has made six changes and one additional positional switch from the team that ended the November Tests with defeat to Tonga in Aberdeen for this weekend's Calcutta Cup clash.
Sean Lamont moves from wing to centre, Ruaridh Jackson returns at fly-half with Greig Laidlaw starting an international for the first time at scrum-half – the position in which he was reared and in which his uncle, Roy Laidlaw, scored a superb solo try in Scotland's last Twickenham victory in 1983.
In the pack Ryan Grant is restored from injury at loosehead, Hall begins a Scotland game for the first time since the 2007 Championship match against Ireland at Murrayfield and completing the front-row Euan Murray becomes the 33rd Scot to reach the landmark of 50 or more caps.
Jim Hamilton is recalled to partner Richie Gray in the second row and, in the back-row, Beattie is back on duty for the first time since the pre RWC warm-up match against Ireland at Murrayfield in 2011.
"I've spoken about the importance of this competition, the history and tradition of it, and you couldn't get a more mouth-watering opening than the game between international rugby's oldest foes," said Johnson.
"Selection for us has been about form but also with an eye to the future.
"Sean Maitland is very proud to be pulling on the Scotland jersey for the first time. His family will be rapt because they raised him in New Zealand always reminding him of his Scottish heritage, getting up in the early hours of the morning to watch both the Five and Six Nations games on the TV.
"He's shown he can play footy with the best of them and the impact he's made since arriving at Glasgow in the autumn has underlined what we'd seen of him playing for the Crusaders in Super Rugby.
"I've named Greig and Ryan as vice-captains because they're both quality rugby players and the sort of blokes that I reckon can add to the leadership mix.
"I've been impressed by what I've seen of Johnnie Beattie. He brings dynamism to our back-row and we're looking for him to bring that to bear on Saturday."
Scotland: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Sean Lamont, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Greig Laidlaw, 8 Johnnie Beattie, 7 Kelly Brown, 6 Alasdair Strokosch, 5 Jim Hamilton, 4 Richie Gray, 3 Euan Murray, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Ross Ford, 17 Moray Low, 18 Geoff Cross, 19 Alastair Kellock, 20 David Denton, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Max Evans.

Crandall Canyon Update Monday Aug. 20
Robert Murray, company president from Murray Energy, had been absent from the press conferences since the Thursday night, Aug. 16 accident which killed three rescue workers. He broke this absence with his appearance at the Monday Aug. 20 conference.
Richard Stickler, Assistant Secretary of Labor reported the activity on bore holes one, two and three hadn't changed. On bore hole number four, four hours of quiet time was held with no response; they followed this time with a video camera which revealed no sign of the miners. Some air is coming out of bore hole number four which is caused by the air flowing into the other bore holes. Oxygen in this area has tested at 11-12 percent since pumping in and this oxygen shows a slight increase and is now at 14 percent.
"The fifth bore hole is down 850 feet. We met with eight experts we brought in for review of ground control. We spent most of yesterday showing them maps and pictures of the underground workings, noting the changing conditions. Today the eight ground control experts gave a conclusion," said Stickler. He then read the statement: "After reviewing the available information, the preponderance of data shows the entire west area to be structurally unstable." The experts went on to say that it is not possible to predict the timing or the location of the seismic events. There is a significant risk and the underground operation is suspended indefinitely.
If a live miner is found with the fifth bore hole then they would send a capsule down to save a life, but the risk is unacceptable to send someone underground 1,500-1,600 feet for the purpose of exploration.
Murray said for the whole two weeks and 15 hours since the original seismic activity, the focus has been all about the miners families, the six trapped miners; the three miners who have been killed and the six injured. "MSHA and UtahAmerican has not left a stone unturned," said Murray. He recognized the families are distraught which is understandable since it's been more than two weeks. There has been only one way to get them out, unless we find one alive and look at a shaft to get them out. Murray said the air readings they have would not support human life, but work continues on bore hole number five. Top experts on rock mechanics have advised not to send anyone underground. Murray said he has been administering to the families of the missing and those killed on Thursday. "My heart goes out to them. They are very important to me. Totally important," said Murray.
News reporters questioned Murray about the family members who have lashed out at him saying he had taken away their hope. Murray responded that maybe his delivery is not always the best, but after two weeks and 15 hours he needs to be totally honest and consistent. He doesn't believe he took their hope away. Whatever happened, the original seismic activity was 10,000 times stronger than the seismic activity on Thursday night which took the lives of three rescue workers. "There's no sense in beating around the bush. I have tried to be honest and compassionate," said Murray.
Murray was questioned about the lawyer speaking for the families and he said the families have a right to do what they want.
If the miners aren't recoverable then Murray said he already told his company they would abandon that section of the mine.
Reporters wondered where Murray had been in his absence from in front of the camera. He said he was devastated by Thursday's losses and needed time to recover. He was right in the mine and worked to get those injured workers out.
Murray was questioned if he thought the miners would be found alive. He said he doesn't know if they will be found but he is not optimistic they will be found alive.
One reporter asked if the mountain would remain the miners final burial spot. Murray said that is possible. "I am devastated, these are my people," said Murray. He said the Crandall part of the mine would be sealed forever. But, it is possible a different mine in a different place might reopen.
When bore hole number five breaks through the procedure will be the same, a microphone and camera will be inserted.
Murray was questioned about the safety of the mining plan in place at the mine. He said this plan had been approved by MSHA and that plan was in place before he bought the mine on Aug. 9, 2006. Murray Energy didn't develop the plan. He said the only injuries at Crandall Canyon mine this year before now was two sprained backs and a cut hand. "We operate safe mines, I take the safety of my miners to bed every night. If there were any indications this mine was unsafe we would have shut it down," said Murray.
Murray was questioned if he had been able to smooth things over with the families. He said he just told them the truth and answered their questions with compassion.
He also said in response to a question about mineable coal at Crandall and he said there were two and a half years of mining left. But the mine would be sealed with the equipment inside and they would withdraw. There are other areas of the mine with lower cover which would be examined by experts before starting on anything else there.
Murray was again questioned about the families reaction to him. He said he has been forthright and compassionate, but upfront. Their reception to him has not been good, but sometime he said the reality must sink in. "I am just a messenger they didn't want to hear."
Murray said he would not put the responsibility of speaking on someone else, he will stand up before America and he believes everything has been handled in the best possible way.
Someone asked Stickler if the mining plan caused the mountain bumps. Stickler replied there is no way to predict mountain bumps and when or how often they will occur. There is no perfect mine plan that will guarantee that mine bumps will not occur. The mining plan was done by technical engineers and a copy was provided to MSHA before it was approved and the MSHA experts looked at it. There is no way to predict seismic activity.
Murray said his managers have hundreds of years experience and not one of them have seen this type of seismic activity.
Murray was asked if he had any regrets about anything. He said, "I regret we lost three heroes. I regret six others were injured. All but one is out walking now. I can tell you absolutely nothing more could have been done to rescue these six trapped miners. Based on all the data we had we made what we thought was the right decision."
Crandall Canyon Update Tues. Aug. 21-Wed. Aug. 22 update
The fifth borehole reached completion on the morning of Aug. 22. The procedure was the same as with the previous boreholes. They pounded on the drilling rod and placed a microphone and cameras down the hole.
There wasn't a response from the trapped miners. The rubble in this area of the mine only left a space of approximately six inches from the roof.
Robert Murray, company president of Murray Energy speculated that the sixth bore hole would be the last if they don't find anyone alive. If someone was found alive, they would take measures to get them out.
Murray said, "He would never come back to that evil mountain, that's still alive." On the morning of Aug. 17, they began submitting the papers to close the mine and notified MSHA of their intent. The United Mine Workers he said had distorted the information about the intent of Murray Energy with the Crandall Canyon Mine. Murray said UMWA has always interfered and taken advantage of the tragedies of miners and their families. UMWA had pickets at the Wildcat load out in Carbon County. Murray said he has been at Crandall Canyon the last 18 days trying to rescue the miners. "It's not about UMWA or about me. It's about the miners and we have no intention of ever going back into that mountain. Only a few miners remain here at Crandall Canyon and they are recovering out-by equipment. The other miners have been transferred to Tower and West Ridge."
Some years down the road they may look at the remaining reserves at Crandall Canyon, but this would be a different location than where the missing miners are trapped.
Jack Kuzar said at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 22, the bore hole number five broke through and the hole was full of rubble with only a six inch void between the rubble and the ceiling. They followed all previous procedures and were beginning to pull the drill steel out of the hole.
They will do tests on the oxygen levels at this fifth hole. The area is closed in tight out-by and it appears most entries are that way. Hole number six will be drilled in the last area where the men were mining, as it appears egress out of the mine was impossible at the time of the initial seismic event. The most likely area they could be was in-by. The pad is in place for hole number six. Kuzar was asked how long they would continue drilling holes and Kuzar replied until they are assured the miners are no longer alive and can't get to them.
Hole number six is approximately 1,700 feet from the surface to the mine tunnel. It is estimated they will punch through sometime on Friday or Saturday. Kuzar is a district manager for MSHA from the East, but was a district manager in the West for seven years and is familiar with the mines in the area. Kuzar said he had attended a meeting with the families and they are strong people.
Company vice president, Rob Moore said prior to this disaster, the Crandall Canyon mine had gone 337 days without any accidents.
Reporters asked Murray if his company had submitted new mining plans for the Crandall Canyon Mine. Murray said he was unaware of any such renewed plan. The families have been critical of Murray and his company saying they hadn't done enough and to this Murray replied that the families are operating on emotions and it's possible the six trapped miners did not survive the initial 3.9 seismic activity. The families are grief stricken he said, but there's a point where if you don't find alive miners, you can't risk anyone else and he isn't willing to risk any more lives.
Murray attended the funeral of Dale Black on Tuesday. Murray said he was greeted by Dale's wife Wendy and introduced to family members. "Dale Black was one of the finest foremans anywhere. He lost his life but he didn't suffer," said Murray.

10 Ways to Create With Cardboard Tubes
7 comments:
I have tons of cardboard tubes I've been saving for play time. You've given me some ideas I hadn't seen before. Thanks!ReplyDelete
fun ideas - I've been saving our tubes for a rainy day, can't wait to get them out!!ReplyDelete
Another fantastic list! Thank you so much for including me. I've had a couple of your other suggestions on my to do list :)ReplyDelete
2 more for these great, versatile things:ReplyDelete
1) You can't forget the classic kazoo effect - putting it to you mouth and going "dododo dooo!" I just taught James this. :)
2) For our church Easter event, we're creating biodegradable seed pots out of toilet paper tubes. Cut one end four ways, fold and stick with a dab of glue, fill with dirt, seed, and plant. Fun project.
- AnonymousMarch 9, 2012 at 10:56 PM
You can put small toys or candy in the tubes then wrap them in tissue paper. Leave the ends a little longer than the tube, and tie with ribbon. Great little gifts! I use them for "good deed gifts" for my twins! When I catch them playing nice, or putting away the toys on their own they get one. I put stickers, match box cars, animal crackers, candy necklaces, etc. in them.ReplyDelete
What a great list! Thanks for including ours! I love the paint/stamping with tubes idea. I really need to get around to doing it!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 12, 2012 at 3:48 PM
You can also tape 2 tubes together side by side and wrap them in paper, decorate the outside and you have binoculars!ReplyDelete

Classic Stylish Work Shoe
"I bought these because I'm in need of very conservative work shoes. I still want to maintain my own style while staying within the stringent dress code policy of my office (platform shoes are not allowed at all).These are a little higher than I would like, but I like the block heel, and the silhouette of the shoe is very modern. It is comfortable, but I did have to break them in a tad bit. Now that they are broken in, they feel great."
