text: Left Pays No Attention to Obama Pledge of No Name Calling Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 24 Jan 2013 post a comment Even as Obama stood in front of hundreds of thousands of admirers during his inaugural speech saying that we needed to end the name calling, many in his party and many of his surrogates have utterly ignored that advice. "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate," Obama said from the Capitol steps on inauguration Monday. But only a few days later, even as the President was heard pleading for civility, Democrat Senator Patty Murray (WA) accused Republicans of "hostage-taking" over the budget process. There was lots of other such "civility" on the left, too. On the same day that Senator Murray threw names at the GOP, MSNBC host Chris Matthews called Republican Senator Ron Johnson (WI) a "pissant." Then ABC News' Terry Moran attacked Senator Rand Paul for daring to question Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her Benghazi testimony, asking, "Did he serve in the military? Did he study, live, do business or charity overseas?" Apparently being an elected official--and a senator, no less--doesn't count for anything to Mr. Moran. Though one would search in vain for an example of a similar Moran attack on any Democrat that never served in the military or "studied overseas." Or how about Andrew Rosenthal of The New York Times who on the same day Obama was making his plaintive plea for civility was busy accusing Republicans of being racists. The days before Obama's inaugural also had many examples of that kinder, gentler left-wing. Only two days before Obama's inaugural speech CBS News political director John Dickerson advised Obama to "destroy the GOP." Three days before Obama's big day, Greg Sargent of the Washington Post's The Plum Line blog likened Republicans to "suicide bombers." Of course, everyone understands that neither Obama nor the left really expect any such new tone nor do they plan to initiate such a thing. After a vicious election where Obama and his campaign said that GOP nominee Mitt Romney never paid taxes, disdained regular Americans, hated dogs, and even murdered an employee's wife, who would ever expect this president to suddenly swear off name calling?

One big thing jumped right out to me. On last weeks H domo kill
Rarmang got 62 blood thrists, Naught got 48, You got 45.
Also Rarmang got off 12 cleaves while you only preformed 1
Your colossus slam up time was 16.6% and your other fury warriors were above 20%.
Also your cooldown timing is slightly off. Initially you want to stack your CD's with blood lust. While you can't do this with pre-poting you can still stack bloodfury, engi gloves, reck, deathwish, with the 100% damage AND BL.
Part of your issue looks like you aren't planning your cooldown usage.
If you had taken the total fight's length into consideration you could have delayed your trinket, blood fury, and engi bonus. To all land in death wish + potion at the end.
I'm saying that would have pushed you over, but its this level of attention to detail that will help you climb the totem pole.

I am a recovering passive aggressive. I grew up thinking the ideal man was a John Wayne character and asking for things was not polite.
I have found a few things that have really helped me change: Marriage counseling with Imago therapy has been very helpful.
Reading about Borderline Personality Disorder (my wife has this) has really helped me understand my own issues. I think most people could use dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).
Reading a book called "Change Anything and Crucial Conversations."
These three things have helped me become less passive-aggressive and much more open and honest. I feel like a cloud in my head has been removed and revealed to me what I was actually thinking.

Newsflash: Kate Moss reportedly engaged to Jamie Hince
Can it really be true? Has Kate Moss finally succumbed to the notion of matrimony and said yes to becoming Jamie Hince's wife?
Reports are running hot that the The Kills frontman has proposed to his supermodel girlfriend on her 36th birthday. According to the Daily Mail, Jamie flew out last week to see Kate while she was working in Mustique. Then on Saturday, he popped the question with a diamond ring chosen with the help of their friend, Topshop boss Sir Philip Green.
"It was the first time they had been alone together in quite a while and it was extremely emotional," a source said. "Kate and Jamie are in a very good place, they already live together and this is the next step to settling down for good."
Jamie and Kate have had an on-again-off-again romance since meeting in 2007. No official announcement has been made, so we'll just wait and see. After all, we have been here before.

By Rosella B. Anderson and Lilly B. Frandson
(his daughters)
Original copied with some comments (in brackets) by Merne L. Livingstone
15 Nov 2007
He was born 22 April 1827, in Illnau, Zurich, Switzerland. He was a butcher by trade and won several gold medals in a contest butchering a hog, killing, scalding, scraping hair off and dressing it, cutting it up, curing the hams, bacon, making sausages, and utilizing everything. He was also an artist. He was a lover of horses and painted many pictures of them. He painted a life-size picture of his wife, Anna Maria Dorothea Mathis and others, but when they came to America in 1856, they were left in Switzerland. They could only bring a few small ones with them.
When he was 16 years old he was very sick and was afraid he was going to die. During his sickness he dreamed he saw two men, one taller than the other. The short one had dark glasses on and father noticed he had a peculiar eye. He dreamed this man led him half round the earth, and thought it must have been a long dark night, as he couldn't see anything. All was dark—no houses, no wagons, the guide said, "This is an ocean, this is the prairie, and the mountains," and Zion was shown to him. At this time he did not know he was going to be blind. He worried about that dream quite often, but in 1856, he did cross the plains, the sea, and travel the same road he saw in his dream. The two men were Mormon elders. Elder Haselar was the tall man from Mt. Pleasant, Utah. The short man that had the dark glasses was Elder George Meyer from Manti, Utah
Father had an accident the winter of 1853, while dressing a hog. The hoof of the pig slipped off the gamble pin, striking him in the left eye, bursting the pupil. His brother, Casper Bryner, working nearby him saw the accident and led him to the hospital on the banks of the Seal River in Zurich, Switzerland. He lay in the hospital six weeks. Infection crossed to the right eye, typhoid set in and ruined the right eye and caused total blindness in both eyes. While in the hospital, father heard that there were two missionaries from America preaching a new gospel and they were going to preach in Bern on Sunday. Bern was a two-hour walk from Zurich, so when his wife and sister Barbara came to visit him, he told them that if he could see and walk, he would go hear them talk. On Sunday, his wife and her mother, his mother and sister Barbara went to hear them preach. When they returned, grandmother Mathis, his wife's mother, came to him and said, "Tell me again about the men you saw in your dream. How they were dressed and about the man that wore dark glasses." So father told them again that the one man was taller and the other man shorter, who wore dark glasses and had a peculiar eye, and that they were dressed in long-tailed clothes.
She said, "Can you think of two men you knew before you were blind that looked like the two men you saw in your dream? I saw two men and know that if you can describe these same two men to me, I'll know your dream was true." Father did describe the two men to her just as they were when they were preaching to her and the others.
One night about a month later his wife was caring for him, they heard a knock at the door, so father called her and asked her to go see who was at the door. She said it was late, but father told her to go see. When she opened the door she was surprised to see that they were the same two men that were preaching in Bern. They asked if they could stay there that night. When she told father, he said to take them upstairs to the bedroom that used to be his, and tell them he will see them in the morning. So she did, and they made the Bryner home their headquarters while in Zurich.
Father was converted, and was the first one to be baptized in Switzerland, March 16, 1854. At that time, six Bryners and six Mathises were baptized.
In1856, father and his wife and some members of his family immigrated to Utah and were called by Brigham Young to settle St. George, Utah. His father died there and was the first person to be buried in the St. George Cemetery in 1862.
Soon after his father's death, he took his wife and family to New Harmony, Utah. He was living there when he wrote to our mother, and after they were married, he brought her to Toquerville where he bought them a home. He spent his time between New Harmony and Toquerville, Utah.
Our mother, Margaretha Kuhn Bryner, was our father's second wife, whom he married after they had come to Utah. She was born in Switzerland on October 23, 1839, and was the daughter of Hans Ulrich Kuhn and Regula Gut Kuhn. She was married to a man by the name of Kuhn and had one son. Her husband was killed in the war. (Note added: Family members now say that there was a family tradition that her son was fathered by her older brother, and that she was not married in Switzerland.) She worked in a knitting factory, but being a very trustworthy employee, was permitted to do her knitting at home where she could care for her baby.
She heard the gospel and joined the church in 1861. Her family treated her cruelly because of this, but, being favored by her father, he gave her money and told her to go with the Saints if she wished. She lived with an LD.S. family by the name of Wintsch until they left the country and emigrated to Utah.
Mother left Zurich, Switzerland, in May 1863 and landed in New York ten weeks later and walked across the plains with an ox team, arriving in Utah in September. She married Casper Wintsch in Lehi, whom she knew in the old country. His wife had died while crossing the plains and had left him with four children. She had three children from this marriage and lost two while very small. (Note: Research has since established that she had two children by Casper Wintsch before he died. Then she married David Bjork in Lehi and had a little daughter Susanna who died when she was two weeks old, following which David died. So here she was, a widow again at age 28, having lost two husbands and two children.)
Our father heard of her husband's death, so he wrote to her and on November 1, 1868, they were married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah. She sold her home and 10 acres of ground and left Lehi, Utah, with her two children, Henry G. Kuhn and Mary Wintsch (children from former marriages) and went with father to Toquerville to make their new home. Their children born in Toquerville, Utah, were: John Ulrich, George William, Helen Josephine, James Levi, Barbara Ann, Enoch Conrad, Rosella Elizabeth, Lilly Agnes, Jacob Alma, Edith Margaretha, and a baby that died. They had eleven children. (Family information in Family History International Genealogical Index names this baby, born 1844, Jacqueline Elaine Bruno, which is probably a typing error.) Father had to divide his time between two families—one in Toquerville and one in New Harmony.
In the year 1884, Church authorities called father to come to Price, Utah, and help settle this territory. So our farm in Toquerville was sold in April 1884 and we left for Price, Utah.
The older boys, John, Jim and Enoch, drove the cattle, and mother drove our wagon team, with father sitting on the side to help with the brakes when necessary. When we reached New Harmony, father's other wife, Aunt Mary and her family joined us. Brother Henry drove their wagon with a four-horse team and Frank helped the other boys with the cattle.
Aunt Susan, father's other and third wife who had lived with us in Toquerville and whom we all loved, was also with us on our move from Toquerville to Price, Utah.
With the cows and the little calves, we had to travel very slowly. At night the calves were taken care of so the cows could be milked in the morning. We often put the milk in a wooden churn and tied it to the side of the wagon, and by night there would be a lump of butter. It seemed months to us from the time we left Toquerville in April until we arrived in Price, Utah, on July 23, 1884. We drove to our farm which was one mile west of the station.
As we drove along the tracks that evening, we saw a train for the first time. It was after dark and a long freight train came puffing and spitting fire from the pipes. It frightened us and the horses, and they jumped and reared up, but we watched it until it was out of sight. The next morning we went to see the track and were told that the two narrow gauge rails were for the train to run on. We marvelled at the passenger train with people riding in the cars.
The day after we arrived was the 24th of July and there was a big celebration down by the river near the pump house where they pumped water into a high tank for the trains. Everyone was invited to come and stay all day. There were logs for the tables and benches, and some spread their lunch on the ground. People were there from miles up and down the river. There was a tub full of pies made from wild currants and bull berries, and stacks of sandwiches. They made a big swing in the trees for the grownups and a smaller swing for the children, which we all enjoyed. We had celebrations there for years after. The log meeting house was just finished and the first dance was held that night, July 24th.
The families that were living there when we came were Henry Empy's, George Robbs, Tob Whitmore's, John Mathis;, the Warrent's, Peterson's, Grames', McIntires' and Downard's, Bob Powell, John Powell, the Meads and Horsley's.
The Powells had a large potato patch, and that fall, 1884, we all helped them dig their potatoes and took some for pay. John, Jim and Enoch helped with the hay, grain threshing and all harvesting that fall, and we were glad to take some for pay for our winter supplies.
At that time the town was located around the depot. Fred Grame had the post office and the first store in a one-roomed building. The station was called "Castle Valley Junction" then, and later it was changed to the "Price Station."
The log meetinghouse was built in the center of the town-site. The first meeting was held in it on April 13, before it was finished, and the first dance was held July 24, 1884, just after it had been completed.
George Frandsen was the first Bishop, Kalob Rhodes and John Mathis were his counselors. Peter I. Olsen was the first Sunday School Superintendent. Sally Ann Olsen was the first school teacher and she taught school in her home. T. M. Pratt taught school in the log meetinghouse after it was finished.
In the summer of 1884, our brothers took the cattle on the mountain and brought back logs to start our home in town.
That winter on February 11, 1885, our George William, died at the age of 14. He was buried up in the Mead Cemetery on the side of a hill east of town. After 46 ½ years, our brothers moved his body to the Price Cemetery and all who saw his body marveled at how well it had been preserved. The casket had been made by E. S. Horsley and Samuel Cox. No water had reached the casket, but the screws had rusted and the lid was loose, but the clothes were in perfect order. A new vault box was made for the casket and he was buried in the family plot in the Price Cemetery.
The fall of 1884, J.H. Pace, his wife, our sister Pauline Bryner Pace, and Samuel Cox came from Bluff with their families. They had been called by Brigham Young to come and help settle the territory. Bro. Cox was a carpenter and made most of the caskets for the dead. He also organized our first choir. All who could sing, both old and young, joined his choir. We were about 10 years old when we joined it.
Brother Cox's wife, Sarah B. Cox, and Sarah Jane Warren were also of great service to the community. They were nurses and mid-wives, and were ready to go at any call where there was sickness, whether it was disease of any kind, or to bring babies into the world. The weather would never stop them. They always came at a call in snow, rain or summer heat, walking or riding.
Our mother was gone nursing a big part of the time too. Sometimes she would be gone for days and we would not see her. She also kept herbs of all kinds tied up in a bag, hanging in the attic. She made a very good canker medicine from herbs and barks. It was considered the best medicine for both children and adults, people from all around would come to buy it.
Whenever there was sickness or death, our mother was there to help in any way she could, and when she came home she would stay in the granary and change her clothes, being very careful to not bring any germs home to her children. In those days we wore a little bag of assifedity around our necks to kill the germs.
In 1891 there was an epidemic of diphtheria. The Marsings lost all of their eight children. At two different times they had to put two children in one casket to bury them. Frank Nickerson and wife lost five children, and Joseph Anderson and his wife lost three with the scarlet fever. Other families were affected by the epidemic too.
Bishop Frandsen would send help or go himself carrying food to the sick. He carried flour, bacon and hams from the tithing office, and sometimes from his own bin. At one time he carried scarlet fever home to his little granddaughter, and after that was more careful.
Our new log house had been completed and the winter of 1886 we had to move into it. It was the first big log house to be built on the new townsite.
The next fall our brother Henry took his mother, Aunt Mary, to New Harmony to live with her daughter, Verena B. Redd, and to be with Henry when he and Isabell Birch were married December 1, 1887 in the St. George Temple.
All that spring and summer the men worked hard to build a canal to get water to the townsite. It was finished in 1888 and soon after there was a terrible cloud-burst and the canal broke, flooding the town and doing great damage. We had to haul water in barrels from the river until the ditch was fixed.
Josephine came home on August 3 from Woodside where she had been working in the section house for the railroad Company. Her clothes and all the money she had earned were in the house when it burned, and on August 5, it rained again. The water ran down the stove-pipe and then we could not bake the bread, so Mrs. Beager, who was helping in the home, stuffed rags around the stove-pipe and forgot to take them off when the rain stopped. That night when Mrs. Beager went upstairs, her room was full of smoke, so she opened her window, and the draft blew the smoldering rags, causing them to catch on fire. It was very warm, and everyone was sleeping outside. Edith and Lilly were sleeping in a wagon near the side of the house. They slept in one end and Aunt Susan in the other end. During the night, mother screamed "Fire, fire!" Johnny heard her and came, then Ras and Lars Frandsen, Ralph Horsley and Dave Smith came from the Frandsen home across the street.
Father rushed upstairs to get a box that contained their money, deeds, and mortgages from the sales of their home in New Harmony and Toquerville, but because of his blindness he could not see and the fire was too bad. He was burned about the hands, his whiskers were burned off his face, and his face terribly blistered, but he had picked up what he could before turning back.
The wagon box with Lilly and Edith in it had been picked up and carried away, and because mother didn't see them with the other children, she thought they had been burned, and she had a nervous breakdown. For weeks they could not quiet her. She was in the hospital in Salt Lake and away from home for two years. There was no water to fight the fire, and so it was weeks before anyone could go near to look for the gold and silver that was in the tin box.
All of Aunt Mary's belongings were stored upstairs. When they could finally get through the smoldering ruins, they could see the edge of $20.00 gold pieces melted together, and when it was minted again, the lump contained $350.00. The big lump of silver contained more than that. The green backs and other receipts were burned.
Where Josephine's trunk had been burned, they found a lump of silver dollars melted together. It amounted to several hundred dollars when minted again. The total loss was never estimated, and could not be replaced.
The granary was fixed up and the family lived there until another house was built. Father directed the building of the new home as he had seen it done in Switzerland. It was built of mortar, lime, sand and cobblestone rock. He told them how the mortar was to be filled in with rock, so as to not touch the frame, and after three days to dry, the forms were taken off and raised to make another layer. It was a warm house in the winter, and cool in the summer. It was torn down in 1945 and stood where the new J. C. Penney store now stands.
Mother had been a weaver of fine silks while in Switzerland, and now all of her relics, pictures, records, savings and addresses to Switzerland were burned and she could not write to her parents or anyone in Switzerland until 1893, the time of the World's Fair in Chicago, when our brother Albert, went to Switzerland on a mission. His cousin Carl Boshard came to America to the World's Fair, from Zurich, Switzerland. They passed each other on the ocean and did not see each other until Carl returned home after his visit to America.
His mother, a sister to Albert's mother, gave him an extra thousand dollars if he would come to Price to visit her sister, Maria Mathis Bryner. So he came direct to Price before going to the Fair and had a wonderful visit with his aunt and her husband, Ulrich Bryner (our father). Then Carl took our father, his uncle Ulrich Bryner who was blind, to Dixie, Utah and other places to visit with his other uncles, John Mathis in New Harmony and Henry Mathis in St. George. Then they went to Salt Lake City, Utah, to visit Swiss friends, but word came for them to return to Price as Aunt Maria had taken seriously ill. She died September 1, 1893.
Carl went to the Fair in Chicago and then back to Switzerland, where he met his cousin, our brother Albert. They found our mother's, Margaretha K. Bryner's sister, Anna Hardmyer and other relatives and sent the addresses to our mother. She was so happy to write to them again.
While Carl was in Switzerland, he joined the L.DS. Church. He gathered genealogy on his father's and mother's family lines. After a few years, his parents died so he returned to America, coming to Price, Utah, in 1900. Later went to Salt lake and did Temple work for his kindred dead. He lived there until he died in the St. Mark's Hospital and was buried in the Price Cemetery several years later.
Brother Jens Peterson had a farm two miles from town. He had the first loom in Price. He and his wife made rag rugs and carpet by the yards. They also had the first molasses mill and they made molasses from cane juice. Everyone took their cane to him. He made their molasses, then with the last of the molasses in the boiler, he would let everybody come to make molasses candy. He also made tubs, buckets and barrels out of wood staves. He was on a mission to Denmark in 1875 and he was the one who converted the Frandsens in Copenhagen, Denmark. Bishop George Frandsen was living in Mt. Pleasant, Utah when he was called to be the first bishop in Price in 1888.
Mother and father had the first bees. They started with just a few hives and increased till at one time they had 300 stands of bees. The children all had to help father as he was blind, but he could turn the extractor and even help build the bee boxes and frames for the honey.
He could help on the farm with lots of the heavy work, and could bind the bundles of grain. The younger children would lead him around. Along the river he would cut bunches of willows and we would help him sort them, taking long ones out to make baskets. The children would strip the leaves off and pile them up, and the older boys would haul them to the house. He made many different kinds and sizes, and was very accurate. His baskets were considered true to measurement. He made 1 peck, ½ bushel and bushel sizes. He could hardly supply the demand for these baskets. He also braided rope from cowhide. With the help of his children he could do most anything with his hands.
They brought fruit pits of all kinds from Dixie. We cracked them and kept them until they began to sprout. Then we planted little fruit trees. Father also had grapes. We had the first grape bowery in Price. He made some of the best wine that could be bought.
With the help of others, father made a spinning wheel and mother spun yarns, washing the wool and carding it, and made yarn for the knitting of socks. We sold many quilts to mining camps, sheep herders and freighters. Mother had owned the first sewing machine, but it was burned in the fire. Mother made men's suits that were bought at the Washington factory in Dixie.
We always planted a big garden and raised vegetables of all kinds. We had a lame brother, Henry, who never married and he was a great help to mother, both with the garden and with the bees.
Enoch freighted for many years, taking his freight to the Unita Reservation and bringing asphalt back. John worked for Mr. Sharp, a surveyor, and Jim worked in the coal mines.
Josephine clerked in the S. S. Jones store where George Adelbert Fausett worked as a clerk. She went to B. Y. U. one fall and on March 31, 1893, she was married to George A. Fausett.
Anna worked in a boarding house, then went to gilsonite mine at Duchesne Co. where she married Albert McMullin January 1, 1894. At their wedding dance we learned that brother John had been married the same day, January 1, to Martha Smith at Meadow, Millard County, Utah.
Enoch would tell the girls, Rose, Lilly, and Edith to stay at home and help mother, and he would buy their clothes, but sometimes when someone needed help, mother would let one of us go. But we did our share of helping in the garden and with the bees and in the home.
Alma would drive the team with mother to the camps to sell vegetables along the road between Price and Castle Gate. They stopped at the Ladd home to sell their goods and learned that two of their children had been badly burned while making a fire with kerosene. Mother immediately grated raw potatoes and put all over their burns. Mother stayed there several weeks and helped to care for the children.
Once Abraham Owen Woodruff came to Price to a Mutual Conference. He stayed over a day to visit with brother Albert as they had been on missions together. He wanted to help take the honey out of the hives, so he put on the gloves and bee bonnet, and helped in the honey all forenoon.
The fall of 1894, sister Anna came to stay with the family so we could all go to school that winter, while mother and father were in the St. George Temple working. Joe W. Davis and his sister, Pearl, were the teachers.
The following September, 1895, we all started to school again. Mother let Minerva Van Wagner and her brother Dell stay with us and go to school. Annie had moved back to Wellington, and Edith was living with her going to school there, but she came home and slept with Minerva and Lilly. She did not feel well, and wanted to stay home, but Bert would not let her because Annie needed her while he went on the road to take the Christmas freight to Vernal and other places, so he wrapped he up in a quilt and took her back to Wellington. He carried her into the house, and when he unwrapped her, she was all broken out in measles. She had exposed us all, so we spent Christmas of 1895 with the measles. Rosy did not take them, so she was our nurse. Our nephew, Willie Bryner, took the measles and died that winter.
Annie and her family came down with the measles and on January 22, 1896, Annie's second baby Flavo was born. Annie was all broke out with the measles. So Lilly was sent down to help Annie until they were well and then Edith came back and went to school there. We all went back to school on February 22, Washington's birthday. The school had a program. We were all dressed in costumes to represent the flag. A picture was taken of all the costumes we students made.
On February 27, our sister Mary B. Neagle died from child-birth. At this time her husband, Heber L. Neagle was in the Swiss German Mission. Mother was very sick at this time too, so mother kept Rosy home to help with the family, as she was older. Lilly went to help Heber's mother, Rosanna Neagle, care for their five children. Heber was released and came home. The baby died in June, after that he brought the children and Lilly home. They visited in Price until September, then he went back to Toquerville, taking three of his children and Rosy back with him. He left his little girl, Ruby, to stay with her grandparents and Lilly.
Then June 8, 1897, Heber L. Neagle married Emma Anderson who worked for them at the time of Mary's death. Rosy visited with her relatives a while in New Harmony and Cedar City. Then in July, Heber and his family went to Lehi to visit folks and Rosy came as far as Provo with them. She came home to Price a few days later.
Rosy and Lilly took Ruby, Heber's little girl, to Salt Lake City to meet her father and family who were coming from Lehi to attend the John C. Neagle reunion on July 23, 1897, at Calder's Park, Salt Lake City, Utah. We met some of the cousins. One of John C. Neagles wives, Verena Bryner Neagle, was our father's sister. We then stayed over in Salt Lake for the 24th of July celebration which was the 50th Jubilee of the arrival of the pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley.
In April 1898, sister Annie McMullin came home to Price to live while her husband, Albert O. McMullin, went to the Southern States Mission. She lived in the extracting house where we extracted honey. When we had so many bees, she took in sewing to help for the family and her husband on his mission, and after school we girls helped sew. Our cousin, Henry C. Mathis, went to the Southern States on a mission about the same time that the missionaries were killed in the southern states. There have been 23 missionaries out of the Bryner family go on foreign missions and some to the states.
Our home was just across the street from the log meeting house, so we could go and watch the dances. We learned to dance really young. Our brothers were among the best dancers. Jim took the prize for the best waltzes many times. Jim married Jane Babcock and lived on a farm he had bought at Helper, Utah. They lived there several years. He and Jane were separated and on December 8, 1919, he married Ethel A. Larsen in the Salt Lake Temple. Enoch married Ella Zabriskie in 1901. They moved to Sunnyside where Enoch had the typhoid fever and almost died. They then came back to Price when he was better.
In the fall of 1897, the government called for volunteers to go to the Spanish American War. There were 10 or 12 young men who enlisted, and on a Friday night a big banquet and dance was given in honor of these boys. Everyone came out and it was a very big affair. People came from all over the country. These boys were to leave the following Tuesday, but on Sunday night, a man knocked at the door of Tob Whitmore's home. Rosy answered the door as she was working for Mrs. Whitmore at the time, and he told them that the robbers were out on his ranch beating up his hired men and were stealing his cattle. So the sheriff, Charles Allred, was notified and he immediately organized a posse to go after the robbers. He deputized two of the boys, Jack Gentry and Niels Peter Anderson, who were among the volunteers for the Spanish American War, so they left with the posse and did not get back in time to leave on Tuesday with the other boys, as the posse was instructed to bring them in, dead or alive.
The posse was gone a week or more, but they located the men, and a lot of the stolen cattle were returned to their rightful owners. Two of the men were brought in dead, and the others were brought in and placed in jail. This stopped the stealing of cattle and horses, and other properties for a few years. After the incident, Niels Peter Anderson was appointed sheriff/city marshall. He served in that capacity until 1900.
On November 15, 1899, Rosy and Peter Anderson were married by Bishop Ernest S. Horsley. The town was quarantined for various diseases, so there could be no public gathering and their wedding dance was postponed until the epidemic was over.
On January 2, 1900, Lilly and Rasmus Frandsen were married and then they went to Salt Lake for a short visit. In March, Rosy and Peter moved to Sunnyside, Utah. While there, Peter was appointed deputy sheriff.
In October, 1902, Rosy came back to live in the home and take care of our older brother, Henry, who was a cripple, while father and mother, Edith and Alma, the two youngest children, went to work in St. George in the temple on the records of the Bryner line, also mother's family line, the Kuhns, and also the Mathis line, father's first wife's family. Alma stayed in St. George one year and then came back home to live with Lilly until mother came home.
In 1907, April 4, Alma was married to Ethel Porter in the Salt Lake Temple. Edith came home with mother and was married to Thomas Sheppick June 29, 1904, in the Salt Lake Temple. Father stayed in St. George and worked in the temple until he had a stroke and died February 11, 1905, and was buried in the Price Cemetery, Price, Utah. (Cemetery records of St. George, Utah say he was buried there, and died 8 Feb. 1905. The 11th must be burial date.)

ROBOTS: The Interactive Exhibition, based on the 20th Century Fox animated film, will be on view at the Strategic Air & Space Museum from September 29, 2012 through January 6, 2013.
The Museum has also partnered with the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and the NASA Nebraska Space Grant Consortium to present a complimentary exhibit, Innovations: Inside Nebraska Robotics, which highlights the cutting edge robotics research and development that is being done on the campuses of the University of Nebraska.
ROBOTS, depicts a world populated entirely by mechanical beings, including genius inventor Rodney Copperbottom and his friends, the Rusties, who seek to make the world a better place through innovation and determination.
"Robots are obviously a part of modern life and will play an increasing role in our society," said Scott Tarry, executive director of the Strategic Air & Space Museum. "The combination of the family-oriented traveling exhibit and the display of robotics research conducted right here in Nebraska creates a great experience for guests of all ages. I'm confident that the exhibits and related hands-on activities we've developed will ignite the thrill of discovery and innovation for all those who visit the museum. We're especially excited about the opportunity to work with researchers from the University of Nebraska to display their work. I know people will be impressed and inspired."
Enter The World of Robotics and explore both "reel and real" science of robotics. Climb aboard the Crosstown Express, featured in the film. Become a Robotic Explorer in deep space, underwater or on the surface of Mars. Build-A-Wonder-Bot that can help you out with your daily chores. Experience fist-hand how robotic arms work and other Industrial Robots that have become an invaluable part of the workforce. Also, get a glimpse of the Future of Robots that will re-shape our world. Then, visit the Robots Hall of Fame, and more.
From futuristic displays to real-life robotics, guests will come away thinking about robots in a whole new way. Under license by Twentieth Century Fox, the exhibition was produced by Global Experience Specialists, Inc.
ROBOTS: The Interactive Exhibition and its national tour are made possible by Ford Motor Company Fund, the community relations and philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company. "This exhibition introduces the future scientists and engineers of tomorrow to the innovations of today and we are proud to continue the Ford tradition of enriching our communities through science education opportunities," said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services.
To better serve the community, the museum has recently established a partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha's Office of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education to provide cutting-edge educational opportunities for students, teachers, families, and adult learners. Traveling exhibits, permanent exhibits, and a variety of special events provide additional unique experiences for the museum's members and guests.

Article for September - October 2010
The Eyes Of Laboka —
Ed Lowndes on Mounted Deer Driving:
I ride into the woods along deer trails looking for a deer's hiding places. My tacky, Laboka, will usually see deer lying in hiding. When Laboka sees one, he stops and stares into its eyes. I focus my eyes into the thicket, fallen tree, or cane patch and spot the deer. If the deer is suitable to pursue, I "jump" it, and the chase unfolds. The deer will run its course through old-growth hardwoods into Carolina bays. The deer knows it can escape into the water and thick marsh grass where hounds can't follow. The deer's speed and wits usually let it escape through the standers. I ride Laboka to the perimeter to stop the hounds' pursuit. While on my horse, I loudly crack my whip to simulate a gunshot, and the hounds believe the deer has been harvested. I blow my cow horn to regroup the hounds behind Laboka, who leads them into the woods to look for another deer. This old style of hunting brings "fair chase" into our vocabulary. My horse's name, Laboka, means "the mouth" in Spanish. He's very inquisitive and nuzzles objects he finds interesting.

Direct Buy is a membership program that claims to cut out the retail middleman and save you money on almost anything for the home. Those infomercials are very enticing to say the least. The pitch, "Learn the secrets retailers don't want you to know" makes you really wonder what information retailers are hiding. Well just yesterday, I saw a Canadian TV show "Marketplace" where they interviewed five Direct Buy members. They also compared prices from Direct Buy's catalog to similar products you could buy at local retails stores. Here's the real scoop on Direct Buy.
You can watch the Direct Buy show that I saw right here at Marketplace on the CBC website.
What to Expect In the Direct Buy Presentation
- You're first offered a free visitors pass to hear a presentation and see the Direct Buy showroom in your area.
- Then expect a brief tour of the facility, slick testimonials and an aggressive sales pitch
- You aren't allowed to see the catalog before you sign up to see the products that they offer.
- You are not allowed to ask questions for ALL to hear. Questions you are told will be answered by your "host".
- Direct Buy Canada made a brand new corporate policy for a three day cooling off period. So you now have three days after signing the contract where you can review the contract, the supplier catalogs, and the membership so they can then decide if you really want to keep the contract or cancel it. Direct Buy USA already has this policy in place.
- The [tags]direct-buy-membership[/tags]fee is $5000 just to get a membership to shop there.
What to Expect From a Direct Buy Membership
- The membership is not practical for people making average purchases. Although if you make several substantial purchases, the list of positives will outweigh the negative aspects.
- If you look at how much you would have to spend over three years to save$ 5,000.00, at a 10% saving it would be $50,000.00 and at a 20% saving it would be $25,000.00. This shows you how much you have to spend to just break even.
- It does take time to do research before ordering and you are on your own with the manufacturers' catalogs.
- You'll spend lots of time with the Direct Buy ordering system searching through catalogs, filling out forms, doing retail comparisons for the best buys and then waiting weeks for items to arrive.
- You don't get the same service as you might expect in retail.
- If you read the fine print of the contract the shipping surcharges can be up to 25 percent of the product purchased. These include freight, duty, brokerage fees, and handling fees. The product handling fees are up to 8% of price.
- If you have to return the product you'll return the product to the manufacturer.
A Direct Buy membership is worthwhile but only if your spending over $20,000 to do your remodeling project. Also, when you sign up you won't know what merchandise is available since you can't look through the catalogs. So if you are ok with all of this Direct Buy may be for you.

- How to Read a Study Record
This five-year prevention services application is concerned with preventing substance abuse, comorbid mental and behavioral disorders, and school failure. We will direct an integrated set of first grade classroom based preventive interventions at two correlated and confirmed early antecedents: early aggressive, disruptive behavior and poor achievement. We will test a comprehensive Whole Day (WD) program directed at improving: 1) teacher's classroom behavior management; 2) family/classroom partnerships regarding homework and discipline; and 3) teacher's instructional practices regarding academic subjects, particularly reading. We will test WD effectiveness in a developmental epidemiological design in which children and teachers are randomly assigned to intervention and standard setting (control) classrooms in 2 classrooms in each of 12 schools. While following the first grade children to the end of third grade, we will follow their first grade teachers over two subsequent cohorts of first graders to test whether the support and training structure sustains high levels of WD practice. We will also test whether the support and training structure is successful in training non-WD teachers. This prevention services aim will be augmented by an economic analysis of the costs and cost-effectiveness of the WD program. This combined services and prevention research should increase the efficiency of developing evidence-based programs and extending their use system-wide in both the prevention and education fields. The aims of our proposed work are to: 1) Implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a whole-day preventive intervention program for first-grade (WD) directed at known antecedent risk factors for later substance abuse, school failure, and comorbid mental and behavioral disorders; 2) Measure the variation in impact of WD due to variation in the experimentally manipulated quality of teachers' specific WD practices around classroom behavior management, family/classroom partnership, and quality of instruction, regarding reading, taking into account family, peer, and community factors; 3) Test effective- ness of the support structure required to sustain, and extend to other teachers high quality implementa- tion of WD; 4) Carry out economic analyses of the costs of implementing WD and their cost-effectiveness.

SHANGHAI Chinas daily crude steel output surpassed 2 million tonnes in mid-February, up 0.9 percent from the first 10 days of the month, according to China Iron and Steel Association (Cisa) estimates.
Production averaged 2.006 million tonnes per day during the second 10 days of February, up from nearly 1.989 million tonnes daily in the previous 10 days. Daily production had been below that level since late May 2012.
Cisa members daily output increased 1 percent to 1.719 million tonnes in mid-February.
"Chinese mills were using relatively cheaper iron ore in mid-February. Major mills had also been making ex-works hikes since November," an industry analyst in Beijing told AMM sister publication Steel First. "Good profit margins encouraged them to produce more." However, market trading was suspended in mid-February due to the weeklong Chinese New Year holiday.
Major mills inventories are now at the highest level since August, the analyst added. A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Steel First.

"In this match we managed to inflict a lot more damage while gaining control of the flag stand, which enabled us to push towards the enemy base faster.

The fabulous people at Plaid sent me a the most amazing box of paint goodies from the Martha Stewart craft line. Wouldn't you be excited if this showed up on your doorstep?!
I made a few projects but I LOVED this one. A canvas to put on my fireplace.
Want to make it too?
What you need:
Martha Stewart Paints (colors used: Pool, Couscous, and Wedding Cake)
Hot Glue Gun
Scrapbook Paper
'Snow' Bunting
The how-to:
1. Using the daubers, place dots all over the canvas (I mixed the yellow & blue with the white to get varying shades of each). Let dry.
My 5 year old daughter helped me with this step :)
2. Using the small snowflake stencil, paint snowflakes onto the bigger dots.
3. The colors were a bit too vivid for me, so I covered the entire canvas in a 10:1 mixture of glitter finish and 'wedding cake' paint.
4. Next, I mod-podged scrapbook paper onto the bottom {In hind-sight I would have NOT painted that portion. I had to sand off the paint to make sure the scrapbook paper went on smoothly}.
5. Hot glue burlap, ribbon, and bunting 'SNOW' letters as shown.
So, what do you think? Cute, eh?
Check out these bloggers to see what they made with their goodies!
Don't forget about the giveaway! Ends Monday.

Natural gas production in Pennsylvania averaged 6.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2012, up from 3.6 Bcf/d in 2011, according to Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) data released in February 2013.
This 69 percent increase came in spite of a significant drop in the number of new natural gas wells started during the year.
Several factors contributed to the production increase. While accelerated drilling in recent years (primarily in the Marcellus Shale formation) significantly boosted Pennsylvania's natural gas production, increases were restricted by the state's limited pipeline and processing infrastructure. This created a large backlog of wells that were drilled but not brought online. As infrastructure expanded, these wells were gradually connected to pipelines, sustaining natural gas production increases through 2012 despite the decline in new natural gas well starts. Data from DEP show that a significant portion of wells that began producing in 2012 were drilled earlier.
|Source: Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Improved drilling and well completion techniques can reduce drilling time and lead to higher production per well. The increased use of horizontal drilling (see graph) and hydraulic fracturing, particularly in the more geologically favorable portions of the Marcellus, allows for more production per well. As operators continue to improve well completion techniques, they are achieving higher initial per-well production rates and boosting overall production.
Pennsylvania typically releases major production data twice a year for unconventional (horizontal) oil and natural gas wells and once a year for conventional oil and natural gas wells. With rapidly increasing natural gas production in Pennsylvania, EIA has proposed to add Pennsylvania (and at least 11 other states) to its monthly EIA-914 natural gas production survey, which would provide more timely reporting of Pennsylvania's rising production.

|Dear Anon23,
thank you for your comment. I am glad that you understand what I am going for with this. We often hear about psychopaths and some of the horrific things they do. I wanted to take a raw uncensored look at one while considering the implications of the psychosis his children would experience from being raised in such an environment. This is a horror story and is meant to freak people out a bit. If people do not feel at least somewhat appalled, either I did not do my job or there is something seriously wrong with them.
I am taking a break from this series for now because quite honestly I get pretty repulsed myself. I am putting effort into another series based on a true story for the time being, but I will continue this series soon.

Managing Finances
Paying for College: How to Avoid Fraud and Scams
Paying for your student's college tuition is stressful enough without having to worry about being duped out of more money. Unfortunately, fraudulent activity and scams trick unsuspecting parents all too often. Consider these tips to safeguard your money and make informed decisions:
Don't pay for the FAFSA
Many services unaffiliated with your student's university will charge fees to provide the same services that the university offers through the financial aid office or other resources. Always check to make sure you aren't being charged for something that you could get for free.
For example, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is, well, free. Some sites try to charge a fee to download and receive assistance to fill out the form. The official FAFSA is at www.fafsa.gov, and you can get free help from
- the FAFSA's online help at www.fafsa.gov
- the Federal Student Aid Information Center
- the university's financial aid office
Remember the FTC guidelines
Scams and fraud is even more prevalent with our dependence on the internet. If you receive e-mails, find websites or read notices about scholarships or grants that seem too good to be true, they might be. The Federal Trade Commission has compiled a list of warning signs and things to look out for when searching for scholarships, as well as ways to report fraudulent activity.
Check Snopes.com
While the internet might present more opportunities for you to be duped, it also helps you track down the truth faster. Check Snopes.com to verify information you hear that makes impressive claims.
For example, one rumor that has circulated for a few years via message boards and forwarded e-mails says that Harvard University is offering full-ride scholarships to African-American students interested in studying sciences. Even though the notice includes legitimate contact information for a Harvard professor, Snopes.com says it's a scam.
Consider Tuition Refund Insurance
For some parents forking over thousands of dollars a semester in tuition costs, tuition refund insurance might make sense. For others, this could be several hundred dollars gone for good.
Many universities offer tuition refund insurance in the event that the student has to withdraw from classes due to an unexpected illness or accident, allowing parents to receive back what they paid. If your student has a pre-existing condition – check with the policies to see if it's covered – this could be worth it.

Organizational Management
College of Professional Studies and Social Sciences
Degree MS, Organizational Management
Department Chair Timothy Kearney, PhD
The master of science degree in organizational management educates individuals for successful careers as managers in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations in both public and private spheres. The program reflects a management perspective, which assumes that the professional manager is able to analyze problems, synthesize solutions, communicate decisions and understand the organizational impact of those decisions.
The program prepares students for responsible organizational leadership. Faculty encourages students to think deeply and broadly from a systems viewpoint about the roles, functions, and tasks of a manager and to develop and use a variety of management skills and prescriptions in organizational environments. The program stresses not only management theory, but also the application of that theory in various managerial situations.

Founded in 1965, the Middlebury College Environmental Studies Program is the oldest undergraduate ES program in the United States.
Our program brings together a community of scholars and students engaged in the study of the human relationship to the environment from many different directions, across 24 departments on our campus. Our ten core faculty members and forty affiliated faculty colleagues together offer an interdisciplinary major and minor. Both foster in students a shared base of knowledge across the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.
Three introductory core courses, Natural Science and the Environment, Conservation and Environmental Policy, and Nature's Meanings: The American Experience, prepare students to focus their studies in one of thirteen disciplines: policy, architecture, chemistry, economics, creative arts, literature, geography, conservation biology, nonfiction writing, human ecology, history, geology, or religion/philosophy. Two-thirds of all environmental studies majors study abroad for one semester at schools and programs across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Australia. Our senior majors collaborate on a community-connected learning project in partnership with local environmental organizations in the Senior Seminar. ES majors and minors graduate with in-depth knowledge of the American story of human-environmental interaction, but also recognize that there are other stories, often strikingly different, from other parts of the world.
With 900+ graduates, our alums work in environmental fields as entrepreneurs, scientists, policy makers, scholars, consultants, teachers, volunteers, activists, and founders of non-profits.

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test is the oldest and most widely recognized test of competence in the Japanese language. In addition to being used to evaluate students studying abroad and place students in the proper level of a Japanese class, it can also be used as a de facto TOEFL type test to learn Japanese as a second language. Another use of the test is to qualify to work for Japanese companies or as a way to prove Japanese ability to employers outside of Japan.
The test has a long history, and is the product of cooperation between two large established institutions in Japan – The Japan Foundation, and Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (JEES). The test has been around for over 20 years, and is constantly being perfected. In fact, the JLPT received its largest overhaul yet in 2010 which led to many improvements for both test takers, and those who use the tests in evaluations.
Test Summary
When is it offered?
Right now the test can be taken twice a year, once in early July and once in early December. (Please note that in some countries outside of Japan, only the December test is offered. Please check with your local host institution to be sure.)
When is registration?
Registration for the December test takes place from August to September. Registration for the July test is between March and April.
When will scores arrive?
The scores for the July test will arrive in September. The scores for the December test will arrive in February.
Where can I take the test?
The test is offered all over Japan, and in hundreds of cities in over 60 different countries on every continent in the world. The official website of the test has a list of all cities and host institutions.
Which test should I take?
A quick way to decide is to go onto our forums and check some of the discussions about the JLPT and the various levels, you can ask a question or check out some of the sample questions people are discussing. Another way is to try some of the sample questions on the JLPT website. Still a good rule of thumb is how well you read. If you can read newspaper editorials and logically complex texts with no trouble, you can probably handle N1. If you can have conversations, but don't know enough kanji to read a lot of the paperwork or websites you look at, you may be N4.
How long is the JLPT?
Each test is a different length. The N5 is the shortest and the N1 is the longest. Here is a basic breakdown of the how long the test is, not counting breaks between the sections.
N1 – 170 minutes (110 minutes of "language knowledge" or vocabulary-reading questions and 60 minutes of listening)
N2 – 155 minutes (105 minutes of "language knowledge" or vocabulary-reading questions and 50 minutes of listening)
N3 – 140 minutes (30 minutes of vocabulary, 70 minutes of grammar and reading, and 40 minutes of listening)
N4 – 125 minutes (30 minutes of vocabulary, 60 minutes of grammar and reading, and 35 minutes of listening)
N5 – 105 minutes (25 minutes of vocabulary, 50 minutes of grammar and reading, and 30 minutes of listening)
How should I study for the test?
There are a few ways to look at this. One way is that it's a proficiency test so if you are only taking it to find out what level you are… there's no reason to study any more than you regularly do. On the other hand, if passing N2 will mean a raise or a promotion, or look good on a resume, then by all means, study. There are a lot of Japanese textbooks, a lot of Japanese Language learning software packages, and a lot of Japanese tutors around to take advantage of. The best way to learn Japanese depends a lot on your own individual studying style. The most dynamic way to learn is get your hands on some Japanese learning software–you can be sure to improve at least some facet of your knowledge with one of these programs.
Do you have any tips for passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test?
o The best way to pass the JLPT is to study like crazy and use Japanese as much as you can (or software mentioned above).
o Getting enough rest before having to sit for a very, very long test is also important.
o Having some snacks or a lunch to eat during breaks in the test to make sure that hunger and thirst do not distract you can help as well.
o As with any other standardize test, it's best to be familiar with the question types that will be on the test so you don't have to waste time trying to figure out the instructions (which will also be in Japanese).
o Have the required pencils and erasers ready so you don't have to stress about borrowing them. (Incidentally "HB" is what "No. 2" pencils are called in Japan.)
o Don't be distracted by the other students, especially if you end up taking the test in a crowded location or near test-takers with noisy nervous habits.
Recent Changes and the New JLPT
In 2010, the creators of the JLPT decided to make some more significant changes to the test than had ever been attempted in the past. The changes can be summed up in four broad descriptions.
1. The test puts more emphasis on Japanese communication skills.
Some old criticisms of the test were that too much emphasis had been placed on reading, so that people who memorized enough kanji and vocabulary could pass while people who spoke and understood Japanese well had more difficulty. Without giving up any emphasis on kanji and vocabulary – both very important parts of the Japanese language, the test-makers added more emphasis on practical applications of Japanese. This basically means that they decided to focus more on realistic situations and not limit it to dry academic texts.
2. The number of test levels was increased.
I remember years ago being very intimidated to hear that the level 2 Japanese Language Proficiency Test was a huge jump up from level 3. This has been remedied with a new test settled snuggly between the old level 2 and old level 3. Now the levels are, in increasing difficulty N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1. The N1 and N2 levels are relatively the same as the old test, but the old level 3 and 4 have become the new N4 and N5. N3 is the new addition created to bridge the large gap in the middle and be a true intermediate level Japanese test.
3. The scoring method was revised.
This is one of the improvements that will really benefit students. In the past, passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test was all about a raw score, unlike most of the large-scale, high stakes standardized tests in the United States which tend to use a scale to ensure that results match from year to year even if a certain year's test was particularly difficult. This is also done with tests in Japan such as the Eiken (STEP) test used to determine English ability, so it is not new to Japan either.
4. They made better descriptions of what people who have passed each level can do.
Although the test has been around for a while, not every school, employer, or friend will know what it means to pass a given level. Writing "JLPT Level 3" on a resume shows strong Japanese ability in everyday situations and ability in other situations as well, but until the revisions to the test it was not as clear. The JLPT creators have made what they call a "Can Do List" that shows what people at each level "can do" with the Japanese language skills.
Summing Up the Japanese Language Proficiency Test
Anyone in the process of learning Japanese can benefit from taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. In addition to the obvious benefits of having an established and respected way of verifying your Japanese ability, the tests can be a great way to network with other people studying the language and even make a few friends.
Standardized tests can be great motivators and help students learning Japanese independently realize and focus on their weak areas. The JLPT is also fun because it is a test designed like other Japanese standardized tests. Japanese culture does come through in the questions and that can give an advantage to people who are interested in it. There are also often some fun cultural tidbits in the questions or reading passages that can be fascinating.
Feel free to also check our in-depth descriptions of the tests done by level – the beginning and intermediate (N3 to N5) Japanese Language Proficiency Tests, and the advanced Japanese Language Proficiency Tests (levels N1 and N2).

Mall culture boost realty development in GhaziabadNov 19, 2012, 03:23PM IST
Featured Today
Ghaziabad has entered into a new era of development. Real estate experts are taking the explosion in the number of malls and multiplexes in Ghaziabad as a positive sign for the real estate sector of the city. They believe this development can entice big realty players into enhancing their presence with new projects in the area. Right now, the city has more than one dozen big malls and multiplexes, and this figure is expected to double in the next few years. Experts say that new developing areas like Raj Nagar Extension, THA (Trans-Hindon Area) and other contiguous areas of the old city will come up with more malls in the near future.
The Uttar Pradesh government wants to develop Ghaziabad as a model city of the state and is focusing on its all-round development. Apart from the government, private developers are also playing an important role in this effort. As a result, they are mutually working on commercial and residential projects. In the early stages of development, Shipra Group built Shipra Mall on National Highway 24, which has now become a landmark of Indirapuram. Since then many malls and multiplexes have come up in the city. Wave Kaushambi, EDM Kaushambi, MMX Mall Mohan Nagar, SM World Shalimar Garden, Pacific Mall Kaushambi, Galaxy Link Road, Ansal Plaza Vaishali, Mahagun Mega Mall Vaishali, Opulent Mall GT Road, Silver City GT Road, Movie World Meerut Road, etc, are just an example of this development.
Vijay Jindal, the CMD of SVP Group, says: "Malls are an essential element in our modern lifestyle and are highly desirable at each corner of a city. Developers know this and are planning accordingly. A few years ago, our group noticed that the main city of Ghaziabad lacked shopping malls; so we built the Opulent Mall for the residents of the city. Prior to this residents used to go to trans-Hindon areas or Delhi for shopping and hangouts; but now they can do all this at our malls right here."
"After Opulent Mall, we are launching a new shopping mall at Mohan Nagar, while some other developers are also building malls opposite the new bus stand and at the link road. Apart from this, another newly-constructed mall at RDC is ready, which can cater to the residents of neighborhood areas like Raj Nagar, Kavi Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Lohia Nagar, etc," Jindal says.
A property says: "If we compare Ghaziabad with Noida and Gurgaon, the gap is narrowing fast. Additionally, this place is ideal for the middle class investors who want to enjoy the feel of a city, but at a reasonable price. People can still buy a good house on a small budget; but this availability is only for a limited time as the city is going through a phase of rapid development."
"Raj Nagar Extension, Mohan Nagar, and Govindpuram are places where house are available at reasonable rates. Builders are planning to launch shopping malls in these areas too. Some builders have already developed commercial towers here," Sunil Varma, another property expert, said.
Good for business too
Santosh Yadav, vice-chairman of Ghaziabad Development Authority, says: "We are encouraging the efforts of builders as they are boosting up the lifestyle of the residents. We have allotted land to private players for the development of shopping malls. We believe that shopping malls have a huge market and the potential for the growth of this sector is enormous. Raj Nagar Extension is coming up well and will change the definition of a city in the near future. We will soon become a developed city of the NCR with the rapid construction of new bridges, roads and other basic infrastructure."
R K Arora, the CMD of Supertech Group, says: "The mushrooming of shopping malls is also improving the economical health of the city. These malls are increasing business along with new job opportunities. Apart from this, commercial spaces are also contributing in stabilizing the pace of economic growth." Vineet Gupta, the director of Ajnara Ltd, says: "Ghaziabad is witnessing a sea change in lifestyle living with a slew of malls, corporate hubs, multi-screen theaters and multi-starred hotels. The city is growing in every aspect, be it in terms of business or retail malls. The need of the consumer for a classy and sophisticated environment for shopping has made the concept of malls popular in Ghaziabad."
"The malls in Ghaziabad have an astonishing conglomeration of fine dining, shopping plazas, fun and entertainment. With big brands in apparels, multiplex movie theaters, hypermarket and restaurants, malls in Ghaziabad has changed the entire landscape of the region," says Dr Sachin Bhargav, a senior child specialist at Vaishali. Rakesh Yadav, the managing director of Antriksh Group, says: "Mostly, all the malls and other real estate projects in Ghaziabad are concentrated in Vaishali, Vasundhara, Indirapuram and Kaushambi areas of the city.
"Right now malls serve up the culture curry. Malls have become big players on the cultural scene. One of the advantages of malls is that everything, including basic domestic items, is available under one roof." Kapil Agarwal, the managing director of AMR Infrastructures, says that the malls have revolutionized retailing and have led to a significant increase in consumption and spending.
This, in turn, has raised a demand for world-class retail facilities. Consumers have been shaped by urban living and lifestyles and keeping this demand in mind, the malls in Ghaziabad have an astonishing mix of fine dining, shopping plazas, fun and entertainment, Agarwal says.
Malls in Ghaziabad
Gaur Gravity, The Opulent, Mahagun Metro Mall, MMX Mall, EDM Mall, Pacific Mall, Ansal Plaza, Shipra Mall, Park Plaza, Premier Mall, AEZ Carnival Country Mall, Aerens Europark, Aditya Mall, Ashiana City Mall, East End Mall, Galaxy Mall, One Mall, Reliable City Mall, Eros Market Pace Mall, Park Plaza, Shopprix Mall.

I had not heard of this case until the Sunday evening news. I just finished reading the Fox and CNN web accounts.
I found the lack of parental supervision and involvement to be stunning. Where were the parents? What parent of a girl doesn't inquire about where their daughter is going, who she is going with, set a reasonable time for her to be back home, and check with the adults who will be chaperoning the party? What parent of a boy doesn't discuss with him the fine points of consensual sex and the inability of a drugged or highly intoxicated girl to give that consent? Who lets several dozen teens float around from drinking party house to drinking party house? What parents either host the drinking party or abdicate their duty by being away. What type of homes produce teens who stand around and let other teens assault a classmate who is by all indications nearly comatose? At least one of the boys present at the assault, but not charged, took photographs of the assault and deleted them the next morning. What kind of teens photograph the assault happening and then act like it is no big deal, just something to post on the web? And a jillion other questions?

Further Testing and Newer Methods in Evaluating Amplifiers for Induced Phase and Frequency Modulation via Tones, Amplitude Modulated Signals, and Pulsed Waveforms
This paper will present further investigations from AES Convention Paper 8194 that studied induced FM distortions in audio amplifiers. Amplitude modulated (AM) signals are used for investigating frequency shifts of the AM carrier signal with different modulation frequencies. A square-wave and sine-wave TIM test signal is used to evaluate FM distortions at the fundamental frequency and harmonics of the square-wave. Newer amplifiers are tested for FM distortion with a large level low frequency signal inducing FM distortion on a small level high frequency signal. In particular, amplifiers with low and higher open loop bandwidths are tested for differential phase and FM distortion as the frequency of the large level signal is increased from 1 KHz to 2 KHz.

Reusable e-paper rolled out
Green-tastic boffs have created rewritable e-paper with a 300dpi resolution that needs no power to be viewed. A team of Taiwanese scientists have developed "i2R e-paper", which apparently needs no backlighting and thus uses no electricity. i2R e-paper According to Frank Hsiu, a senior official at the Industrial Technology …
No power?
Perhaps the intent is that you would have an external powered device you would run the paper through (perhaps heating using a laser?) to write to it. It would then be like normal paper you would load into a printer, sounds kind of like a re-writable version of the thermal paper they user to print till receipts.
Are you sure they haven't invented Pencils, Paper and Rubbers?
So how many times can you wipe within it
before it needs to be flushed?
Reusably grim
Yeah, no word on reusable toilet paper yet...
E-ink competitor
Sounds like they are using a scheme similar to CDRW disks.
i.e. changing a compound from amorphous to crystalline and back, but it changes colour at the same time.
Would be neat if they can make reuseable "multifax" paper that isn't so expensive as eink,
even a 250x rewrite limit would save a fortune in paper not to mention the environment.
The original E-ink (aka Gyricon) was supposed to work like this, and in fact it does to some extent even though the paper is nearly 4 times thicker that of a normal A4 page.
IIRC the problem was that in order to write new information it had to have a reliable contact.
Not likely when the paper is being handled a lot and getting fingerprints etc everywhere.
The nanotitanate based E-ink works better but again this has the same problem.
Maybe the solution is to use a higher temperature variant.
Essentially the oil used is solid at room temperature but becomes a liquid inside the printer.
In fact colour could be done by using 4 different oils and printing at a lower temperature on each pass, similar to the Zink printers.
Would have the advantage that the material would be archiveable.
Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud.
There's bound to be a hand-cranked version for the hard core greenies.
How is the readability?
On another note, this isn't the first time something similarly "re-usable" comes along, but the take-up always seemed a tad low to me. Even cd-rw and dvd[+-]rw. Or maybe it's just me. Show of hands then, who's used such re-usable things more than a few times? More than once? Anyone?
..sorry, Caleb. I'm not sure if you're being positive about this item or not. It seems straightforward to me - uses a heat source (electric or otherwise) to make the picture/print, and then that's it. It can be viewed as normal paper and re-used when you've done. Sounds like a good invention. Buy a newspaper made of the stuff, read it, then get it updated the next day. A bit like a Kindle, but without the electrical gubbins.
Plus, it won't lose all your info when it gets shaken around.
"...and reckons the product could hit markets in a couple of years..."
That's been the reckoning on all of the various reports of e-paper products I've seen for the past twenty years. Wake me when one actually does hit the market.
Wake Up...
The kindle's been launched!
am I the only one
Who thought this might be applicable to bog paper?
No doubt they will want to patent it ...
... but there's a little matter of CD-RW as prior art.
OK, so that picture had a little more contrast than the average rewritable CD. But the *mechanism* is exactly the same.
Sounds to me like a re-usable version of lightscribe....
Another Sci-fi to reality product!
I even know a good marketing name, although I'm pretty sure that Mr. Harrison and Mr. Minsky might want royalties for the Eternitree name. :)
(bonus points if you guess the book I've just referenced.)
reuse "up to" 260 times?
Even once you add in the cost of consumables, the price for (black and white) printing on conventional paper is measured in pennies per sheet. So this stuff had better cost less than a fiver for an A4-sized sheet.
Oh, and what happens after 260 pages that makes it unusable? Is it a case of gradual degradation in quality that becomes unacceptable somewhere between 200 and 300 pages? If so, it will have to be even cheaper still, coz a pad of paper maintains maximum print quality right up to the last sheet.

Does the mere mention of James Joyce's Ulysses fill you with an unnamed terror? Revered the world over, there's no doubt this epic tome is a modernist masterpiece – but let's be honest, reading it from cover to cover is no walk in the park. Whether it reared its mammoth head on your college syllabus, or at one point you just fancied an impromptu literary challenge, we won't judge if you secretly gave up after page 4. Quick summary: Ulysses is the story of a guy called Leopold Bloom, who strolls around Dublin on June 16, 1904. Yep, there are some nifty literary flourishes courtesy of Mr. Joyce, but that's basically it! Bloomsday therefore celebrates and recreates Leopold's journey, which starts at the Tower in Sandycove, making it's way through the city and along the beautiful southside coast. So, even if you've just a passing (aka extremely nervous) interest in the book, there's plenty to see and do here in Dublin as part of this year's celebrations. In fact, you might just come away with a whole new appreciation of this iconic Irish writer and his most famous work. With that in mind, here are some of the most fun alternative events set to take place around the big day…
To get you in the Joycean mood, let's kick off with a bang! The Happenings collective organise regular, quirky pop-up events around the city, and have an extra-special party planned for Bloomsday. The Street Feast – Bizarre Brunch (June 15) takes place in the charming Georgian district of the north inner city; on North Great George's Street, which not only features in Ulysses, but is now home to the James Joyce Centre. This fun street party will be, according to its organisers, "more reminiscent of the Mad Hatter tea-party than High Society". Sounds good to us! Expect an array of tasty treats served on distorted tables right there on the street, as gramophones blast out the best of the 1904 charts. And whether you choose to sample some delicious cupcakes, climb under the sheets with Molly Bloom, or even take part in the potato sports day, you'll certainly experience the wackier side of Edwardian Dublin at this fantastic street fiesta!
Adding to the street party atmosphere on the day will be a series of dramatized excerpts from Joyce's work, courtesy of the Here Comes Everybody Players. Check out the troupe's boisterous take on Dubliners, as they work their way up North Great George's Street, bringing each of the 15 stories to life right there on the street!
Joyce - "a good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub."

If you fancy some interactive fun, and would love to momentarily step into Dublin's colourful past, be sure to head along to the 1914 Dubliners Parliament on June 14 in the stunning Rotunda Pillar Room. On the agenda? Several motions from that period; votes for women, Home Rule for Ireland, and the abolition of censorship, to name but a few! But don't worry if it all sounds a little too political and high-brow, this is set to be a light-hearted, theatrical re-enactment of Dublin's old-school parliament. What's more, attendees will be invited to question the costumed speakers, and even vote on the motions put forward, giving them a fascinating – and dramatic! - glimpse into Irish political life 100 years ago. Or maybe a more laidback setting appeals? Learn about the man behind the specs on a fun literary pub crawl (June 14 and 15, 2pm). In three of Dublin's best-loved traditional pubs, relax over a pint with a host of charismatic speakers, poets, singers and storytellers, who'll charm and entertain with local yarns and anecdotes, as well as dramatic readings from both Dubliners and Ulysses.
On the day itself (drumroll!), we highly recommend you let the hair down and head along to At It Again's special Bloomsday celebration and wrap party in the Sugar Club (June 16, 7pm). The evening will kick off with a welcome from MC PhilTGorgeous, who'll get the crowd going with games, sing-songs and of course, some flapper-style dancing. The main event is an interactive screening of Ulysses 1967, with props provided from the Bloomsday Survival Kit... we're intrigued! Guests are invited on the night to dress up in their finest Edwardian clobber, or indeed experiment with a more Rocky Horror look - and prizes will be given out for the best costumes. Be warned, you'll experience the more, ahem, 'playful' side of Joyce's writing halfway through the screening, when organisers present a 'Dirty Penelope' audience participation version of Molly's famous potty-mouthed soliloquy! As you'll see from last year's clip below, this is very much for adults only – though we reckon it might inspire you to pick up that unread copy of Ulysses afterwards…! When the smut's done and dusted, the festival's wrap party will kick off, with DJs playing tunes into the wee hours. Tickets to this event are available here.
And that's just a taster of what's set to take place around the city as part of Bloomsday celebrations. For a full list of events, head to the James Joyce Centre site.
Finally, if you fancy some pub-free fun this Bloomsday, well - you've come to the right place! Joyce himself mused in the pages of Ulysses that "a good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub." This challenge was happily accepted by a fellow Dubliner, computer science grad Rory McCann, who plotted a route across the city that doesn't pass a single public house. Joyce would be proud!
