Use the "would" when there is a condition, and "if."
Say "I will not do this again" to say simply that you will not do it.
"If I were you, I would... " because you have the conditional situation.
If you say "I would not do it," it sounds like you are putting a condition on it. I would not do it, if I knew you'd give me a million dollars not to.

text: 2011 potential FA targets and what they could offer the Cats: SG-Michael Redd-UFA-Even with injury concerns, could be a fairly cheap option. Could be a great 6th man. SG-Von Wafer-UFA-Streaky shooter that could be a nice compliment to Henderson off the bench. SF-Josh Howard-Would be a nice option at SF that could be brought in relatively cheap. Tough player. SG/SF-Kelenna Azubuike-We love giving guys second chances, especially with prior injuries. The kid has an excellent all-around game, could be a steal if he can remain healthy. SF-Luc Richard Mbah a Moute-Super versatile player that loves doing the dirty work. Underrated defender. C-DeAndre Jordan-Will probably not be givin the chance to leave Clips, but reminds me of a young Dalembert. C-Greg Oden-I would gladly ship Diaw for his rights, Livingston and his recovery makes all things possible. Pick #9 potential candidates: SF-Kawhai Leonard-Defensive stud with a rebounders mentality. Needs to improve shooting, but excels in all other aspects of the game. PF-Kenneth Faried-Plays with ferocity, aggression, and has plenty of athletic ability to boot. Although he is a bit raw offensively, his rebounding prowess is truly what sets him apart. Rodman 2.0? C/PF-Bismack Biyombo-Raw talent with an NBA body. Great defensive instincts as a shot-blocker with a nose for rebounding. Reminds me of Serge Ibaka, but needs lots of work as an offensive player. Pick #19 potential candidates: SF-Tyler Honeycutt-Silky smooth player that could evolve into a Tayshon Prince type, especially defensively. PF-Jeremy Tyler-Former number 1 HS big man that played overseas in asia and wasn't very dominant. Talent is undeniable, just needs coaching and maturity to realize potential. C-Lucas Noguiera-Looks like the next big thing from Brazil. Ultra-athletic 7 footer in the mold of Tyson Chandler. Needs time to gain weight and develop a back to the basket game, but could be a defensive beast as a shot-blocker early on. Pick 39 potential candidates: C-Kieth Benson-Although his talent and athletic ability are very apparent, would be a first round prospect with more work ethic and focus. Could be a nice pick-up i 2nd round. PG-Josh Selby- Former number 1 PG prospect had a rough season at Kansas, but his potential as an immediate contributer couldbe a coup in round 2. These are my personal favorites and I hope the Cats can come away with a few of these players as building blocks towards the future...Sorry I kind of piggybacked your post TS...These are my personal preferences as the draft draws closer...Enjoy!!!

Images from PHOTOGRAPHING GUADALUPE were made in and around Mexico City at the shrine of Tepeyac, the ruins of Teotiucan, the Museo Nacional de Antropología, and the Zocolo. All images were made with a toy snapshot Russian Lomo camera and old fashioned film.
Each year, millions of pilgrims pay their reverent, penitent, and ecstatic respects at this, the most visited site of goddess worship in the western hemisphere. In 2002 Juan Diego, the humble Aztec convert who was visited by Guadalupe back in 1535, was declared the first and only indigenous Saint in the history of the Catholic Church by the ailing pope, despite doubts within the church herself of his historical existence.
This 160 page book contains full spread, two page images, along with several short essays about photography and Guadalupe by Michael Rauner. Also included is an English translation of the oldest surviving written account of the original Guadalupe visit, the Huei Tlamahuitzoltica, written in 1649 in Nahuatl by Luis Lasso de la Vega, a canon lawyer and the Vicar of Tepeyac.
(A technical note: the images in Blurb's preview appear to repeat in the gutter of the book / center of the image. That is to account for the page loss due to Blurb's binding process. The images appear to be more seamless as a printed book then they appear here in the preview. You can see more of this portfolio on my website under "projects" at http://www.michaelrauner.com)

I wear 32x38 in jeans, this makes it very hard to find climbing or ski pants that fit me. I pretty much only wear "manpris" to climb in, and I have one pair of MH ski pants in the "long" that i have had for many years now. I would guess they are around 33x35s. They are a little short, but with boots, it works okay, but I always feel a bit restricted. I was wondering if anyone out there has suggestions for pants ski or rock that would work for my not-average dimensions.
mh stopped making tall sizes, i think marmot gave it up recently too. arcteryx seems good but im 32x36 so may be worse for you. north face may still do some tall sizes too.
A friend is 6'6" (don't know his pant size) but he swears by First Ascent everything. They have screaming deals occasionally and he stocks up on the tall sizes. Easy to return to the store when buying online.
I've heard pretty good stuff about this company and they take their "Guaranteed Fit" claim pretty seriously. beyondclothing.com/
Arcteryx tall sizes work for me, but I'm 32x34. If you're 32x38 then custom clothing from someone like BeyondClothing may be your only option. The downside with BeyondClothing is that you're ordering sight unseen. You'll get an accurate fit to your waist size and inseam, but it's hard to tell up-front whether the overall look & style is what you want.
Arborwear has 32-36. www.arborwear.com/products/pants/tech-pants These will last > 100 off width pitches at Vedauwoo
Patagonia will sell you unhemmed pants. Obviously only in the ones without zippers etc..
NWAlpine can likely make you something in a lenght that works. I'm only 6'3", 32x34, and it's really hard for me, so I can imagine how difficult for you it is. One option I've wanted to try is use normal pants or tall size, then take down the hem and add to it with additional scuff guard type material. If integrated with the scuff guard (i.e. remove and replace it with your new material) it could work pretty well, and you don't need to use a breathable shell material down over ski boots as you can get away with a simple waterproof nonbreathable fabric i.e. cordura.
+1 for arborwear. they're a small-ish company and will probably work with you if you need a weird size

I loved the Antwerp beer scene, and for me that started at Paters Vaetje. A homey little place right next to the Antwerp cathedral, this was a great place to start a beer tour of Antwerp.
It is a small wooden bar with a few tables and chairs behind a small store front facing the cathedral. Up a narrow staircase there is a loft with more seating and a ceiling so low you feel like you're in a doll-house. I really liked the atmosphere here.
Beer is 6 taps and 100+ bottles. Smoking is permitted but on the Saturday afternoon I visited, was not excessive (despite a packed bar).
Service was quick and efficient from three bartendresses behind the bar, although I judged the level of beer knowledge from behind the bar to be pretty average. Clientele was young people, but this bar didn't have a college bar feel and didn't seem touristy despite its location. It didn't seem like a beer-geek mecca, but rather a place for locals on the town on a Saturday that just happened to offer quite a bit for the beer geek (I had a Malheur 12 here).
Out of the 4 places I visited in Antwerp (Waagstuk, Oud Arsenaal, Paters Vaetje, Kulminator), this was my third favorite, but still a must-see.

Just got back from Belgium and this was our "go-to" place while in Antwerp for the week. It sounds like it hasn't changed much from the other reviews. The location is great right next to the cathedral literally a two minute walk from the Hilton. Like all places in Belgium it was small and cozy. It seemed that there were mostly locals in place whenever we went, they were always happy to make room for us and discus our traveling adventures. The food was pretty decent when we ate there. The toast cannibale was some of the best we had in Antwerp. Can't wait to go back!

If you can, sit upstairs. There's a nice view from the loft space, because of the big windows. Though, sometimes it gets hot up there.
It's a fun place, the food is okay, and there are plenty of beers. The list is located on the wall next to the door. Oh, the door. I wonder if it's still stuck. I had a really hard time opening it when I was last there at the end of November 2009.
This place is special because the first time I was there, I partied with a bunch of cops. That's probably the first and last time I'll ever experience that.

Following dinner at 'T Pakhuis, Elaina and I strolled back to the Cathedral area and the Monk's Casket. After drinking a 4 handled ceramic cauldron of the spicy and aromatic Deugniut Blonde, I went to relieve myself. There I am in the tiny dark wood bathroom humming to myself do-to-do and oh, ok...um, hi! The waitress is in there with me. Just as quick as she enters she is gone. I get back to business and then bam, hello. She's back. Turns out the dishwasher is tucked behind the bathroom and the only way the waitresses have of getting to it is to walk right through the men's room.
At any rate, I followed up the first beer with the boozey Keizer Karel Blonde. Once again it was served in a wonderful blue ceramic cauldron. Between 80 and 100 bottles and 6 taps were available. Prices were reasonable and service was quick, pleasant, and attractive. Definitely worthy of a visit.

A thriving place very close to the cathedral. One of the few bars in Antwerp that was full when we went. It's one of those two storey jobs, non smoking downstairs and smoking upstairs where you can look down into the bar below.
We opted for a couple of arabiers which are always a favourite and even though they were served in oerbier glasses, our friendly bartender was keen to point out that it was really arabiers we were getting before we even noticed.
A great bar that is well worth checking out.

I really enjoyed this place during a recent trip to Antwerp.
Above average selection of Belgian beers. Nothing too crazy or rare but about 5-6 taps and 60 different bottles. Pleanty of good stuff to choose from. I didn't try much food but I had a roasted pepper soup which was pretty good.
Great ambiance. Lot's of old style Flemish charm. It is smaller place. With a smoking section which is up a set of stairs and set above the main bar. Super friendly staff that was willing to take the time to answer questions and speak to me in English.
Major bonus points for location and hours. It is very centrally located. It's literally right next door to the main church in town. They have very late hours too. We closed the bar out @ 3:00 AM on a Wednesday morning. It think they may even have 4:00 closing on the weekends.
I even saw a Beer Advocate hat hung up behind the bar!
I would definately reccomend this place when in Antwerp.

This place is probably the most accessible pub I visited while I was in Antwerp in terms of both opening hours and location. It was open by noon until at least 2 AM during my visit and is literally a stone's throw from the Cathedral of Our Lady, right in the middle of the main tourist area.
The atmosphere is small but cozy "brown bar" light. Lots of old and new beer signs but with some bad Europop on the sound system. I counted upwards of 70 bottles and 5 taps available. A good list too, not too "beer geeky" but plenty to keep the beer geek satisfied.
Service was good and pretty prompt for Europe but I was visiting during the early afternoon both times.
Probably my least favorite pub that I visited in Antwerp but that's hardly a condemnation. Definitely stop in for beer, chances are whenever you stop by it will be pouring!

Visited Paters on a recent day trip to Antwerp. We had lunch here and were able to sit outside in the nice seating area, looking over at a cool old church. As it was a pleasant Saturday afternoon, the square was hoping with people which is one of the best reasons to sit outside.
For lunch I had a croque maison which is basically a croque monseuir with bolognese sauce over it and a Rochefort 10 to start. The sandwich was very good, a great way to start the day and the Rochefort 10 is a great beer. A bit heavy for my first beer of the day but still hard to pass up.
I went inside to the bar to use the restrooms on the way out and thought it would be nice to visit again and sit inside as the bar is small but has a cool vibe to it.

---- — DERRY — School Board members honored one of their own Saturday during the deliberative session.
Longtime board member Kevin Gordon was honored for his 12 years of service to the board.
Gordon is not seeking another term on the board.
Board Chairman Brenda Willis said Gordon saw a lot of changes and district success during his four terms on the board.
"He has seen many positive changes happen in our district," Willis said.
Those positives includes eliminating the district's 36 portable classroom and trailers as part of a facilities plan to make better space for the students.
Gordon also was part of the hiring of three superintendents.
"He cares deeply about our staff and our schools," Willis said.
Willis and Gordon had a long history in the schools, first working together as part of PTA projects and on other school activities when their children were going through the Derry system.
For Gordon, it's been a long time serving Derry, but very rewarding.
"It's hard to believe it's been 12 years," he said. "But 12 years later, here we are and we can all be proud of where we are in Derry now."
Gordon said he took part in 12 budget cycles that were often a challenge.
"I'm not going to miss them," he said.
Gordon charged the people of Derry to be involved in their schools.
"Get involved with your kids, be informed, listen, come to School Board meetings," he said. "Now it's time for me to leave."
The board will donate books and other materials in Gordon's name to schools in the district.

This is the lightest beer I've had from Naked Dove. It's got a nice color for a light beer, and it isn't 100% filtered, so you can see some sea monkeys in there. As a fan to nearly all other Naked Dove products, this one left me thinking there had to be something missing from it. Maybe it's that I like a darker, heavier, and hairy-ier chested beer... I'm not sure. Whatever it is, the taste is rather bland. I'm sure it would sell quite well in a 30 rack at a gas station near the frat house; that is to say, hopefully people are smart enough to realize it beats all those other light beers, but it's just that to me. One of those light beers.

We look forward to raising the visibility of the LGBTQ community and inviting all members of our community to join us in celebrating a more inclusive Winston-Salem.
Equality Winston-Salem is pleased to announce South Ward City Council Member Molly Leight as the PRIDE 2012 Grand Marshal.
Winston-Salem PRIDE 2012 is an event designed to promote the well-being of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning/Queer) individuals and strengthen the LGBTQ community in Winston-Salem and surrounding communities. While only in our second year, Winston-Salem PRIDE is quickly becoming one of North Carolina's premier LGBTQ celebrations. Equality Winston- Salem invites individuals of all ages and walks of life to play in the Kid's Zone, visit the over 60 PRIDE vendor booths, cheer the parade, and enjoy music from headliner Taylor Dayne.
Molly Leight has always been a leader on the Winston Salem City Council. Molly is a community builder and champion for causes including safe neighborhoods, clean parks, sustainable development, and downtown revitalization. This past spring, Molly stood up against Amendment 1. She drove a city council resolution against Amendment 1 with her long time friend and Southwest Ward Council member, Dan Besse.
Amendment 1 passed on May 8 and changes the North Carolina constitution to define "marriage between one man and one woman as the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state."
Molly Leight stated in an interview by the Winston Salem Journal, "…anything that discriminates against citizens of Winston Salem is definitely the business of the (City) Council. I don't see the difference between government business and what affects the people being governed."
Equality Winston Salem is privileged and honored to have both Molly Leight and Dan Besse in the 2011 and 2012 PRIDE Parades. Thank you Molly for your courageous hard work.

EQUALITY WINSTON SALEM presents WINSTON-SALEM PRIDE 2012 on OCTOBER 13TH
with TAYLOR DAYNE
Equality Winston-Salem has signed multi-platinum recording artist TAYLOR DAYNE to perform on October 13 at Winston-Salem PRIDE 2012. The Taylor Dayne song "Tell It To My Heart"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud6sU3AclT4) cracked the top ten in late 1987 and was an instant smash worldwide. She was the opening act for Michael Jackson's "Bad" Tour. There were 10 more hit songs to follow. In the United States, Ms. Dayne produced three gold singles. The New York-born artist's three albums for Arista Records produced twelve Top 20 singles. Over the course of her career, she has sold more than 75 million albums and singles worldwide garnering three Grammy nominations along the way. In 2011, at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, she took home the prize for "Best Original Song/Score in a Movie Trailer" from the movie "The Help."
Is she a gay icon? We say yes. She has performed at major Pride festivals throughout the United States. In 2010, she wrote and performed a new song specifically written for the Gay Games. As a strong gay rights ally she says, "My gay audience and followers are the most loyal and the most fun to perform for. This is a rebirth for me. Call it what you want, but I'm back. We've baked the bread. Now it's time to eat it." Winston-Salem will certainly indulge Saturday, October 13with Taylor Dayne.
TAYLOR DAYNE is a chart topping powerhouse singer with a string of #1 Billboard pop hits that shaped the 80's sound of music. This year Taylor continues to perform and promote her hit CD "Satisfied" which features the hit song "Beautiful."
Her massive hit songs include:
- Don't Rush Me
- Can't Get Enough
- I'll Always Love You
- Every Beat Of My Heart
- I'll Be Your Shelter
- Tell It To My Heart
- Prove Your Love
- Heart Of Stone
- Send Me a Lover
- Naked Without You
- I'll Wait

With great support from the community, previous Gay Bingo events have attracted impressive crowds and grossed over $20,000 in 2011 toward Fall Pride Parade efforts.

Equality Winston-Salem sponsored the first Pride Parade in Winston-Salem in fifteen years on Saturday, October 15 and brought over 5,000 people to downtown Winston-Salem.
The theme of January's bingo event is TV Land Bingo—and will feature Bebe Tea and the BVDs as they celebrate TV Land icons including Mary Tyler Moore, Maude, the Gilligan's Island castaways Lucy and Ethel and many more. "We're excited to begin our second year of Gay Bingo," said Steve McGinnis, co-organizer of Gay Bingo and Equality Winston-Salem. "This year promises to be even more fun and entertaining than last year." The BVDs (Bingo Verifying Divas) will also perform several times throughout the evening.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 with a student ID. Tickets can be purchased locally at Whole Foods, Caffe Prada, The Screaming Rooster, Washington Perk and Pet Supplies Plus. Tickets are also available online at www.equalitywinstonsalem.org.

Bingo organizers encourage attendees to get tickets early.

So proud of the over 200 members of our community who signed onto this full page ad in today's Winston-Salem Journal (Living section). Thanks!
Route Changed Slightly to Accommodate Increased Number of Parade Participants
It's a good problem to have! (Thanks to the WS Police Department for their commitment to ensuring a safe and successful PRIDE.) OUR PARADE ROUTE HAS CHANGED SLIGHTLY TO ACCOMMODATE AN INCREASED NUMBER OF PARADE PARTICIPANTS!
The PRIDE festival begins at 11:00 a.m. on 4th Street between Spring Street and Spruce Street. The parade starts at approximately 4:00 pm.
All parade participants on floats and in organized groups will line up on Holly Avenue. The parade starts at corner of Holly and Spruce, turns left onto Spruce, right on 4th Street, going down 4th Street to Liberty, left on Liberty, left on 5th and then left on Spruce Street back to the festival area. The best location to watch the parade would be on 4th Street or 5th Street between Liberty and Spruce. If you'd like to walk in the parade with friends and family, you will be invited to join the parade after the last float or group leaves the staging area.
We encourage all members of our community to walk with PRIDE.
Equality Winston-Salem is honored to have Representative Marcus Brandon join us for PRIDE 2011.
From the Daily Kos / September 12, 2011
The North Carolina legislature is expected to debate the anti-gay marriage bill that would add a same-sex marriage ban to the state Constitution. From Q-Notes comes this profile of the openly gay legislator who has become he de facto face of fighting the amendment. Freshman Rep. Marcus Brandon (D-Guilford) was there. The state's only openly gay legislator, Brandon had been present for Democrats' press conference outlining their opposition to the amendment. Several anti-gay ministers had already gathered in the press room, awaiting their own press conference organized by House Majority Leader Rep. Paul Stam (R-Wake) and Speaker Pro Tem Rep. Dale Folwell (R-Forsyth). Heated, passionate words were exchanged, with Brandon stressing tolerance and equality and the pastors preaching division and exclusion.
"I take it very personally," Brandon told qnotes via telephone. "I'm the only openly gay member of the legislature and there's definitely a responsibility that comes with that when we're talking about something so personal."
Brandon said he found it moving that his Democratic colleagues stood up against the amendment.
"I think it's very powerful for my colleagues to stand up and talk about democratic ideals and what they'll defend, what we've always fought for," he said. "At the end of the day, it's always about trying to move people from one place to the next."
Though he didn't ask for the privilege, Brandon has been the de facto face of the amendment debate for many at the legislature and across the state. Colleagues are looking to him for his guidance and LGBT citizens, both from within and outside his district, see him as "their" voice in Raleigh. He's been sharing his personal story with his colleagues in attempts to move their frames of reference.
"I have tremendous respect for my Republican colleagues and I respect that this is a deeply-held belief for many of them," Brandon said. "This conversation I've had with Republicans and even some Democrats is the same conversation that you have to have with family members when you come home trying to explain who you are, what you are and what that means. It's a very similar conversation."
Winston-Salem PRIDE 2011 Festival and Parade Map
Co-organizers of Equality Winston-Salem's PRIDE 2011 met with the WS Police Department last week to finalize logistical plans for Winston-Salem PRIDE 2011. We'd like to thank Corporal Leone and his team for their assistance in recommending a festival location and parade route that are enjoyable, spacious and safe for our entire community.
Winston-Salem PRIDE 2011 is planned for 11am-5pm on Saturday, October 15. Headliner Jennifer Knapp is scheduled to perform at 3pm, and the Parade is scheduled to begin at 4pm.
The map above outlines the tentative location of the PRIDE festival—beginning at 4th and Spring Street in downtown Winston-Salem and extending to Poplar Street (the festival will extend to 4th and Spruce Street depending on the number of vendor applications received).
The Parade route is as follows: Parade begins at Poplar and 4th, Poplar to 5th Street, right on 5th Street to Liberty Street, right on Liberty to 4th Street, right on 4th Street. The parade will end at 4th and Spruce with large floats and parade participant groups turning left on Spruce Street to disassemble.
A list of festival vendors can be found in the vendor section of this website.
Winston-Salem PRIDE 2011 announces Jennifer Knapp as PRIDE headliner.
We first heard about Jennifer when she performed at FemmeFest in Charlotte earlier this year. Singer songwriter Jennifer Knapp's latest album, Letting Go, debuted at #73 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. The Grammy nominated, Dove Award winning artist returned from a seven year hiatus last year. She will perform at Winston-Salem PRIDE 2011 on Saturday, October 15.
Knapp's impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her previous releases Kansas (debut 1998), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). The Kansas-born musician toured the globe with artists such as Jars of Clay and was featured on 1999's Lilith Fair tour. She received critical acclaim with The Los Angeles Times calling her "a rising star" and People Magazine describing her as "an uncommonly literate songwriter." Jennifer went on to win her first Dove Award in 1999 for Best New Artist, scored a Grammy nod in 2002 and another Dove nomination in 2003. With a considerable fan base, critical and commercial successes, Knapp walked away from it all at the height of her career. After seven years of soul searching and time spent in Australia, Knapp comes full circle with Letting Go.

A Letter to Equality Winston-Salem
(We received this letter from April on July 29,2011)
A little background on me! My name is April Lucas.Fifteen years ago I was sixteen and marched with Ron Baity's sponsored protest with Calvary Baptist Church in King, NC against homosexuals! I was told it was my duty and that it was the right thing to do! Going to school at Calvary, my father in school there as well to become a minister, it was not only expected but required that we join the march!
I remember walking for what seemed like hours,yet in all actuality it was only a few blocks. I remember everyone singing and praying and chanting how sinful it was "love the sinner, hate the sin"! I felt sick to my stomach knowing that this was not right, yet not having come to understand why I felt this way, I did as was expected and finished the march! The images have stuck with me for years and I waited every year for another pride or parade to be held! To make it up not only to myself but my community!
A year later at seventeen, I met and fell in love with my wonderful partner of thirteen years in August! I left the life I knew as an outcast and have never looked back! Even then when I decided to be true to myself and love who I loved regardless of the consequences, I knew that in spite of the family I had lost that I had another one with outstretched arms ready to take me in with love and support! I'm glad to see that after fifteen long years of waiting our community is standing strond and stating we will be seen! I have since moved and hope to make it back for the celebration with my partner in hand!
With Sincere Thanks,
April Lucas

DANVILLE — Rescue personnel responded Thursday to three accidents in an hour's time along a one-mile stretch of Interstate 74.
The Vermilion County Sheriff's Department responded to the first of the three crashes just before 4 p.m. when a vehicle driven by William Clutter of Danville left the roadway around the interstate's 219 mile marker.
Capt. Dennis Wood said the vehicle caught the cable barrier as it left the roadway and overturned in the median. A passenger was taken to Presence United Samaritans Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
Around 15 minutes later, a vehicle driven by Thomas Vire of Georgetown left the roadway after traffic in from of him began to slow as a result of the original crash.
Then, at 4:49 p.m. a semi tractor trailer driven by Lawrence Lee, 64, no address listed, was headed westbound when traffic stopped ahead of him. According to Illinois State Police, he swerved into the left lane and went through the median.
The semi continued across the eastbound traffic and came to rest in the south ditch facing southwest. Lee was not injured in the crash but was cited for improper lane usage.
Danville Fire and Lynch Fire departments were called out to the scene of the crashes.
That accident scene was near the site of another semi crash early Wednesday morning in the westbound lanes of Interstate 74 near the 217 mile marker, just east of the Bowman Avenue exit.
According to Illinois State Police reports, James Carmack, 29, of Harrodsburg, Ky., was hauling more than 60 head of cattle when his semi left the roadway, striking a median cable barrier and overturning.

This year's route will leave the museum, wind onto the city's walking track and then back up Sharon Boulevard to the mining museum. The one-mile fun run will begin immediately after the completion of the 5K, although organizer Melissa Justice cautions that participants should arrive before the 5K begins because Dora police plan to close the roads to ensure the safety of the runners.
"Last year we had some runners who couldn't get to the fun run because the roads were already closed," Justice said.
The fee for the 5K is $25, which includes a T-shirt and small breakfast after the race. The fun run also includes a T-shirt and breakfast for an entry fee of $15. There will also be door prizes given away by the sponsors of the race.
Each entry fee contributes $5 to the school of the runner's choice or to the mining museum. Last year's race raised more than $300 for local schools.
"Everybody came together really well," Justice said. "I thought last year turned out really good. We had 68 runners, which was pretty good for the first year."
The event includes people of all ages, and Justice said calling it a "race" or "run" shouldn't discourage anyone from coming out and enjoying the day with the community.
"Anybody can do it," Justice said. "You can just walk it, there is no time limit."
Justice also contributes much of the race's success last year to the fact that the community banded together and supported the effort.
She said everyone played a role, from the police department, who kept participants safe, and the volunteers, who kept things running smoothly, to the road crews, who prepared the route and kept things clean and neat for the run. She also thanked the sponsors last year who gave supplies and prizes.
Anyone intersted in running in either race can pick up an entry form at the East Walker Chamber of Commerce, or call the Chamber at 205-255-0202 or email Justice at melissajusticebroker @gmail. com.
Participants can also register online at www.active.com by searching for the East Walker Chamber of Commerce 5k.

(WMC-TV) – Shelby County leaders voted 5 to 4 Wednesday in committee to not be a part of a Memphis Cook Convention Center expansion study committee.
"That's what this is about. This is about us getting a voice at the table, a voice or reason," said county commissioner Steve Basar.
Former Mayor Willie Herenton and Mayor A C Wharton have both pushed for these talks in the past.
Efforts to build a new convention center and hotel resurfaced back in October after talks that Memphis could lose its convention status. That could mean the city would lose out on conventions and tourism dollars to competing cities like Nashville and St. Louis.
"Many of you sat here last spring and voted against every expenditure possible. To put this on the list with all the other things in front of us makes no sense at all," said county commissioner Mike Ritz.
There are concerns that building a new facility would be a financial struggle not only for Memphis but also for taxpayers. That concern was shared among county commissioners Wednesday morning.
Another issue is that Shelby County has already sold its interest in the current convention center. The county sold its share of the convention center to the City of Memphis three years ago. And while county leaders want tourists to continue to flood the Bluff city, they are not interested in paying for it.
"I think the convention center and community need to realize we can support modest sized conventions and that's it," said Commissioner Ritz.
Tourism leaders say it was never their intent to force the county back into financing the aging convention center. This expansion study committee is merely being formed to look at options to either renovate or rebuild the facility.
"2012 was the busiest year in the history of that building, but we're still facing stiff challenges," said Kevin Kane with the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Memphis Cook Convention Center's General Manager Pierre Landaiche did not want to comment on Wednesday's commission committee vote.

U.S. Drought Means Fall Foliage In Limbo For Oklahoma And Arkansas
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Summer-long drought conditions that have plagued Oklahoma and Arkansas have left in limbo the usual explosion of fall foliage colors that attract tourists to both states.
Trees in both the Ozark and the Ouachita national forests that spread into the two states typically provide a panorama of red, green and yellow leaves and are destinations for those seeking fall colors.
Foresters say those trees are shedding many of their leaves now — two months early.
"Basically, the number of hardwood trees going dormant or browning is noticeable in both the Ozark and Ouachita national forests, said U.S. National Forest spokeswoman Tracy Farley.
"I haven't heard anyone talk about having a spectacular fall," Farley said.
Rainfall now could change that outlook, according to both Farley and Craig Marquardt, an Oklahoma Forestry Services district forester in Talihina in southeastern Oklahoma. The Talimena National Scenic Byway stretches through the Ouachita forest from Mena, Ark., to Talihina.
More than 53 percent of Arkansas was rated as in exceptional drought — the worst category — early in August, and 48 percent of Oklahoma was in exceptional drought in late August, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Rainfall now "would be really beneficial. The trees could use a good drink of water," Marquardt said. "It'll be nothing but good for the trees."
The peak time for fall color is generally the last week of October and the first week of November, a time that businesses in the region count on for an economic boost.
"When we're looking at October and November, that's when we're booked up full," said Dave Shaw, owner of Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch in Talihina.
"That's the only time of year when we're booked up full," Shaw said.
Shaw acknowledged that the drought's effect on the trees is a concern, but said he remains hopeful that weather conditions will turn more favorable.
"If we get a light frost early and we get a little moisture and we don't get any wind, that can overcome the drought."
Marquardt also expressed optimism, noting that last summer was drier and hotter than the current season.
"Last year was a really pretty year (for color) and I was really surprised. Last year was drier than this year," Marquardt said.
The remnants of Hurricane Isaac, though largely missing Oklahoma, provided much needed moisture in the Arkansas portions of the two forests.
"The hardwood trees that have not gone dormant yet will greatly benefit from the rainfall," said Farley. "The colors may not be quite as vibrant, but there should still be some color in the mountains this fall."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada Supreme Court wants a mediator to review a man's effort to collect damages from the NFL for his paralyzing injury in a 2007 strip club melee involving football player Adam "Pacman" Jones.
The court on Tuesday assigned a settlement judge to mediate former club doorman Tommy Urbanski's effort to hold the league accountable for his injury.
A judge in 2008 dismissed the NFL from a civil damages lawsuit that led to a judgment against the Bengals cornerback that now amounts to $13 million for Urbanski and his wife.
Urbanski's lawyer, Matthew Dushoff, says the league should be held responsible.
Attorneys and a court spokesman call a settlement conference a standard step in such cases.
The state high court called for a February report from the mediation judge.

It was another fun week in aviation, which made it really hard for me to narrow my picks for the week down to five. But I did, so here goes!
- Usually airline employees learn about cost-cutting measures via an internal company memo. Very rarely are they asked for suggestions on how cuts should be made. Which is why I really enjoyed this story — Alaska Asks Employees How To Cut Costs – written by my Aviation Week colleague Lee Ann Tegtmeier. "Since Alaska Airlines created the suggestion box for fuel ideas in 2008, it has generated millions of gallons of savings for the airline," she writes.
- I am a BIG John Cusack fan. I will watch ANY movie he's in good or bad. I felt obliged to watch "Pushing Tin," which offered what can only be described as a creative picture of the work done by air traffic controllers. Scott McCartney's Middle Seat Terminal blog in the Wall Street Journal offers a much better picture of the work air traffic controllers do.
- I'm originally from California. I still have friends and family there, and I'm always hearing about the latest budget cuts the state is enforcing to close a mind-blowing, nearly $10 billion (yes, with a B) budget gap. And in classic trickle-down economics, cities are being forced to share in the pain. The city of Los Angeles went to the Board of Airport Commissioners for cuts, and the $400,000 Travelers Aid Society budget was cut, ending services at Los Angeles International Airport after a 61-year run, reports the LA Times.
- I really enjoyed this piece on MSNBC from my airport soul sister Harriet Baskas — Q&A: What to do about overhead bin hogs. As a regular traveler, I've seen travelers get downright nasty about getting that overhead bin space. It seems to be much worse on airlines charging bag fees.
- Back in the mid- to late 1990s, I traveled the world — a lot. I used these trips to buy adult beverages at duty-free shops around the globe for my cabinet at home. I switched to Bombay Sapphire Gin after a tasting at London Heathrow Airport. At one point, the cabinet was filled with alcohol purchased outside the country. I've bought other items, which is why this USA Today article — Are airport duty-free stores still a bargain? — caught my eye. The short answer is yes — depending on where you go and what you buy.
Earlier this week, CNN ran two separate columns on badly behaving children on airplanes. Writer L.Z. Granderson was blunt in his article, Permissive parents: Curb your brats. And our good friend Brett Snyder — the Cranky Flier — writes about how business travelers can avoid the pitfalls of families traveling with children in Summer travel: Watch out for amateurs. I'm the mother of a five-year-old, and I couldn't agree with these two gentlemen more.
Last — but not least — we have a short version of Strange But True Aviation News. Next week, I'll be on vacation deep in the heart of Texas. But I've asked a few of my friends to do guest posts for me. I hope you enjoy them!!

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Worcester Warriors and matches between Wasps and Worcester over the years.
London Wasps have topped the Zurich Premiership table for the first time this season with just one round of the Zurich Premiership League remaining, after four tries and a bonus point saw them beat Worcester 32 &ndash17 at the Causeway Stadium. Wasps victory, combined with Leicester's defeat by Saracens at Vicarage Road see a change of places at the head of the table, with Tigers sliding to second.
Wasps began today's game against Worcester having not beaten them in the last two encounters: a pre-season friendly plus November's giant-killing encounter at Sixways. The home side started the game knowing they had something to prove and prove it they did, coming out of the traps in similar fashion to last week's classy display against Saracens, Josh Lewsey getting Wasps off to a flying start with a try after just two and a half minutes. Greening picked up at the back of a ruck and fed Lewsey, who powered past Worcester flat-footed close defence and into space, scorching round full back Thinus Delport to touch down from Wasps first meaningful attack, Mark Van Gisbergen slotting a straightforward conversion for 7-0.
Wasps score began a period of open and fast rugby from both sides, culminating in a disallowed try for Wasps, Voyce adjudged not to have applied sufficient downward pressure after having been driven over by the supporting forwards. Voyce received the ball at the end of an exciting passage of play, Premiership debutante Thom Evans fielding a Worcester clearance kick and running it back before quick recycled ball went to Erinle for the initial break, the Wasps centre then feeding Voyce, who stepped the midfield before being swept over the line by the supporting Wasps pack.
Wasps were unable to capitalise on the ensuing five metre scrum, a skilful tackle on the line from Worcester's defence denying Captain Dallaglio, but Worcester did go on to concede a penalty under the pressure, Van Gisbergen doing the honours for a 10-0 lead after 13 minutes.
Wasps were again on the attack from the restart, Voyce's sidestep once again to the fore as he made 30 metres to take Wasps back into Worcester territory. Voyce collected a clever flipped pass behind his back from Worsley and fed Thom Evans, but another heroic tackle from Worcester pushed the young winger into touch just short of the whitewash.
With 20 minutes on the clock, Worcester's forwards were already showing signs of fatigue, but it was at this point that Wasps momentum began to stutter, Worcester dominating a series of lineouts, and muscling themselves back into the game over the next ten minutes, pushing the ball up field and winning Wasps line-outs when they did kick to touch.
However, on the half hour Wasps again had the fans on the edge of their seats. Voyce took a quick lineout to himself after Worcester had found touch just five meters short of Wasps try-line. Although he was caught in possession, Wasps recycled and good hands from Rees put Sackey into space, the winger stepping past two Worcester defenders and break up to the half way line. Quick ball went wide but more determined Worcester defence forced Wasps into touch in their opponents twenty-two.
Worcester's determination finally paid off as the clock showed 40 minutes, when an extended period of re-set scrums meters from Wasps line culminated in a drop goal from fly half Brown to get the visitors on the score-board on the stroke of half time.
Worcester came out strongly at the start of the second half, and interception try from centre Thomas Lombard on 45 minutes, converted by Brown, bringing the Warriors level at 10 all. Minutes later Worcester were on the attack again, setting up a 3 on 1 from which a score appeared inevitable. However Rasmussen, clean through and with two to pass to, looked on in disbelief as Lombard knocked on his pass and the chance went begging.
Worcester were keen to crank up the pressure on Wasps in the next few minute - keen to deny the Zurich Champions the possession and quick ball with which Wasps had threatened to run riot in the early past of the game. However, Worcester captain Pat Sanderson found himself sent to the sin-bin after 54 minutes for persistent handling in the ruck, and the next ten minutes were to prove Worcester's downfall. During their captain's absence, the Warriors conceded a total of 17 points. Van Gisbergen bagged the first three, kicking the penalty that followed Sanderson's card. Dallaglio crossed the line four minutes later, barging through Worcester fly half Brown to touch down. Van Gisbergen again added the extras, and Wasps continued to turn the screw, Worsley cantering in for Wasps third on 65 minutes after Wasps had overstretched the visitors 14 men by moving the ball wide, first one way then the other, Worsley receiving the ball with no-one between him and try line.
The departure of Josh Lewsey on the 73rd minute prompted Wasps second replacement, Leota having come on for Greening after 62. Lewsey came off as a precautionary measure with a sore calf, replacement Warren Fury coming on as scrum-half with Matt Dawson moving into the centre berth for Lewsey.
Wasps contrived to finish the game off with true style on 82 minutes with probably the best try of the game. Running out of their own twenty-two, Erinle found Van Gisbergen who put Sackey onto space. The on-form winger streaked up the sideline, brushing off the attentions of Dale Rasmussen's covering tackle and touching down to rapturous cheers from the crowd and the dugout. Van Gisbergen missed with the conversion, and though on 83 minutes Hinshelwood scored a last consolation for Worcester, the game was well won.
Director of Rugby Warren Gatland said after the game, "I was very pleased with the way we began. We had Worcester on the ropes in the first quarter but to give them their due, they didn't crack and came back into the game well. I'm very pleased to have secured the win."

To the editor:
I am writing to add my two cents to the Roe v. Wade discussion.
There are a few unintended consequences, not often talked about.
First is the damage done to the participants in an abortion. We are all aware of the harm done to the potential little person, the baby, and we have heard stories of the emotional turmoil the future mother endures, many years later. However, we seldom hear of the forgotten victims — the foremost being the potential father, who can face his own emotional upheaval, years after the fact.
Then there is the economy. Let me explain. The stats say that there have been roughly 55 million potential lives aborted since that 1973 ruling. By my simple math, that would make perhaps 55 million 40-something people, perhaps earning, on the low end, approximately, $20,000 dollars per year, out of which 13 percent, or roughly $2,500 apiece would go into the Social Security/Medicare fund.
That's a sufficient amount to help keep that ailing fund solvent — not to mention the buying power of 55 million more consumers, assuming they were able to find work in our present state of affairs. If not, we would be faced with 75 million unemployed, and our nation would be in a really Great Depression.
When Social Security was instituted — and for that matter, even in 1965, when Medicare was enacted — legalized abortion was not even a consideration in the debate to enact those programs for seniors. Programs were based upon the population growth, and the actuarial age of death. There was never a consideration given to the death of the potentially unborn, nor the extension of the life expectancy age.
Living longer and using an arcane form of population control, we have unintentionally placed our once-prosperous nation on the brink of a 50 percent rate of mental illness and a fiscal disaster.
If this took place elsewhere, we would call it genocide. Here, it's called choice; yet in reality it is the only thing that we use that label for. I'm also pro-choice — you can choose to do as you wish, if you can live with the emotional aftermath.

CATEGORIES Casting, Deals, New Releases, Celebrities and Controversy, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalAt one time, Lindsay Lohan was going to be a star. Her early career was filled with promise, but then a series of personal problems (too numerous to recount here) knocked her off course and the actress with the once bright future is now struggling to find work. Things may be turning around for Lohan, though, as E! Online's Marc Malkin is reporting that she has landed a role in the upcoming Inferno.
This news couldn't come at a better time for Lohan, who's become more infamous for her gossip column exploits, family and legal drama than she is for actually working these days. Lohan was fired from the forthcoming The Other Side just last week because she wasn't "bankable enough" to attract financing to the project.
Inferno will find Lohan playing Linda Lovelace, the real-life star of cult porn film Deep Throat according to her friend, photographer Tyler Shields. Lovelace went from a porn star to anti-porn crusader later in life, before dying of injuries suffered in an automobile accident in 2003.
Director Matthew Wilder was apparently set to announce the project at Cannes, but Shields spilled the beans early, claiming the director has asked him to do promo shots for the movie. An official announcement may still come at the festival, but it seems likely to be anticlimactic at this point.
Truthfully, this may be Lohan's last chance to save what's left of her career. If she can show up to work without becoming a distraction and turn in a good performance, she might be able to get things back on track. The real question is, does anyone even care anymore or has the actress' reputation become so toxic that even audiences want nothing to do with her now? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Here are some of the Bears' fantasy football options this week:
Don't worry about RB Matt Forté, who only had 67 yards from scrimmage in Week 10. Even elites have average games. He'll bounce back and is a weekly must-start.
RB Marion Barber (13-27-0) had a season-high in rush attempts, but is a boom-or-bust player with four TDs in six games. Because of his high TD count, he warrants fantasy consideration as an injury fill-in.
WR Roy Williams has posted his best numbers of the season over the past three weeks and led the team in receiving. The Chargers are beatable through the air and he warrants consideration in larger leagues.
While having a great game as a return man with a TD, WR Devin Hester did not register a target as a receiver. Most leagues don't use return yards and in those leagues he has minimal fantasy value.
The Bears' defense looked like the team from 1985, generating six turnovers, two sacks and two defensive TDs, plus one punt return TD. A defense that hot warrants another start against Philip Rivers, who leads the league in interceptions.

Former Deer Park resident, Donald G Forgey, 75, passed away in his home in Helena, Mont., on Sept. 3, 2013. Services will be held at his home in Helena on Sept. 14, 2013 at 3 p.m.
Don was born on Oct. 7, 1937, in Blaine County Mont. As a young boy his family moved to White Center, Wash. He attended Highline High School and joined the Navy as a teenager.
He was stationed in San Diego where he met his first wife Joyce. They had two daughters, Brenda and Connie.
He later moved back to Washington and met his second wife Karen. They also had two daughters, Theresa and Sarah.
Don was a welder at numerous shipyards in Washington State including Pacific Car and Lockhead and was a member of the Boilermakers Union. He continued to weld until due to physical limitations he no longer could.
He married his third wife Doris and owned the Boots Tavern in Black Diamond, Wash. They later moved to Deer Park. Don was the commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 3067 in Deer Park from 2002-06. He was very proud of the position and stepped up to the plate when no one else could do it.
In 2006, Don moved to Helena to reside with his daughters. He had a little house in Theresa's backyard for the last seven years.
He enjoyed spending time with his kids and his grandkids. He got to be close to all of them and watch the grandkids grow up. They were the light of his life. We will miss him walking in the back door everyday saying, "is anybody home" and the kids replying, "just us flies on the wall."
Don is survived by daughter, Brenda Guyman (Arden) of Mesquite, Nev. and granddaughters Emilinda and Melissa; daughter Connie Havens (Glen) of Prineville, Ore., and grandson Bryan and granddaughters Samantha, April and Kristie; daughter Diane Kelsoe of Auburn, Wash., and granddaughter Madison; daughter Theresa Loney (Bart) of Helena and granddaughter Cheyanne and grandsons Wyatt and Ross; and daughter Sarah Forgey of Helena and granddaughter Jessica and grandson Jordan and numerous great-grandchildren.
