Nov 20, 2012Best FPS i've played in a long time. Do you like large open maps? Ok, how about an entire planet?? So much better than Battlefield games, and its FREE. Totally worth at least trying it out.

Nov 25, 2012Not the best game, but definitely the most fun game. Actually I take that back, it's the best game.
Where is the 9.5 rating? I'll take away .5 for somewhat limited meta-game and vehicle options at release; however this is coming as the devs stated.
Massive battles.. nothing like it. All PC gamers need to give their time/money to this fantastic game. -
Dec 1, 2012The first few hours you play this game, you'll most likely be very frustrated. Once you figure out where things are, and how the world works. You'll have a great time, and It's unbelievable how well this game handles mass scale battles (300+ people in a small area).
Getting is a squad/platoon of people who actually communicates, and work together, can make for some insanely fun online times. -

Nov 21, 2012Epic mmofps . Thousands of players all on the same map.
The first planetside was revolutionary the 2nd is much the same. It's in my all time if not the best game I have ever played. I can't recommend this enough! First time player has a bit of a learning curve but get in a good squad and or platoon and the fun really starts! -
Nov 21, 2012One of the best FPS', if not games of the year. Want tactical action? Check. Large scale battles? Check! Vehicle and infantry warfare? It's all here. Free to play? That's just the icing on the cake.
Want some advice, get into a good squad and outfit as soon as possible. Even a small tactical squad of 5-6 will increase your enjoyment tenfold. -

Feb 17, 2013If you have a good gaming PC that can handle the rendering of hundreds of players and like shooters like Battlefield 3 you owe yourself to play this game. I am completely 100% addicted to it and thing this game is a one of a kind experience.
Nov 23, 2012Excellent free 2 play game. Factions (and overall gameplay) are extremely well balanced . Skill always wins over $$. Graphics and performance are good. Epic scale. This is my favorite hardcore mp shooter on the market. Well worth learning how to play if you are up for a challenge.

Nov 23, 2012i have to give props to sony online entertainment for actually trying to make a triple-A MMOFPS title AND doing a great job at it!!!!!! most FPS games that come out now have a story mode and an online mode, while i believe that it should be one or the other (story mode OR online mode). if you love online FPS, you're gonna love planetside 2!!!!!!
Jun 6, 2013I'm not a big FPS player, but Planetside has me hooked. A tremendously fun game that involves thousands of people battling for control of (at this time) 3 continents. All kinds of classes and 3 distinct factions. Absolutely awesome.
Dec 1, 2012
Nov 21, 2012Great game that will continue to get better! Love it...while there are a few bugs that need some ironing out, this game has a bright future ahead of itself.
May 22, 2013
Nov 29, 2012The game is phenomenal. Its restored my faith in MMOs. There's nothing quite like shooting at a rational target for a change over NPC mobs with deterministic AIs. Player driven content is the future.

Jun 5, 2013I have been playing this game since launch and it has gotten much better since then! I have increased my score for the game because the devs have added so much to it since launch and because they continue to add new content every week.

Jun 5, 2013Planetside 2 is very harsh for new players because there's barely any tutorial BUT as soon as you understand it its awesome you like big fights but most fps don't deliver that scale? Try Planetside! you easily get 100+ player fights and sometimes around 300 on each team fighting in one base against each other
Jan 9, 2013Impossibly huge in scope and scale. I can't believe that it's a free game. The fact that it's an MMO astounds me. Nowhere do I see the slightest gameplay sacrifices because of it, even though the game can support literally thousands of players in a server. This game is a gameplay gem, and a technical masterpiece. There just isn't anything else like it.
Dec 1, 2012Planetside 2 falls short of Planetside 1 in about every category, but it's still a lot of fun and the best recent shooter out there. Be advised it's poorly optimized at the moment with some netcode issues, but hopefully when those are ironed out it will be fun for everyone.
Their customer service team is responsive and fast. Haven't run into any obvious hackers yet. -

Nov 25, 2012This game is amazing capturing immersion and epic sense of war no matter what gamer you owe it to yourself to download it. It can make you rage but the pros far out ways the cons

best online experience I've ever had -
Dec 7, 2012
Dec 12, 2012Incredible. A few bugs here and there but will be ironed out carving this game into a 10/10 no doubt. It's quite difficult to get into and is very confusing at the beginning but stick with it and you'll be fighting like the best in no time. The scale of this game really is like nothing you've seen before and the wide variety of roles will keep me playing for a long time.

Mar 5, 2013Great game. Has some issues including cluttered visuals, latency issue, and some player distribution trouble between areas of the map. These are minor complaints in my eyes though. Over all you can always find a good fight if you look hard enough. It is easy to learn, looks great, and isn't a grind Wow clone. What more do you want from an MMO.
May 22, 2013this game is the Best f2p online game ever its free to play and isn't really pay2win and has a lot of vechiles and weapons witch has a lot of attachments and with awsome events updates is this the best f2p online game ever
May 23, 2013The reason I gave it a 10 out of 10 is because I'm a big battlefield 3 fan and this was like battlefield 3 but in space and more chaos and I liked it.

Jul 7, 2014Once you get into this game it if a fantastic amount of fun. The battles are on such a massive scale. Graphics are not as good as some other shoot em up platforms but am sure its done like that to be able to run massive servers.

Nov 28, 2012I have no clue what people are talking about this is the best f2p game of all time no questions asked. Play it on a decent pc then come back complaining. There are no lag or bugs or whatnot people are complaining about.
Nov 22, 2012Great game, played since beta. It's one major flaw is that's it's near impossible to unlock anything, even for a free game. You usually start with simple one point certifications, but then the price skyrockets to 100's for a simple bonus. In fact, there is not a single weapon in the game for under 100 certifications.
Nov 21, 2012Planetside 2, where do I start. First I must say that this game has revolutionized the way I have thought about FPS games. Most people work as teams, and this game has you making friends and following people into huge battles. This game is still amazing and I've been playing since priority beta. Good job SOE!
Nov 22, 2012
Nov 23, 2012
Nov 28, 2012Its a great game and I would recommend it to any of my friends looking for a good fps to play.
The game has its fair share of bugs and problems but most should be fixed soon seeing as the game hasn't even been out for a month yet. Once you get started in the game and find a good outfit you'll find yourself sinking hours and hours of time into this game. -
Jan 21, 2013Epic battles in an epic environment, with day and night cycle, feels like an MMO since there are no "rounds", its a persistent world in war. It gives you the choice to engage in big battles, small battles, or maybe camp in the nearby mountains sniping from a far? You choose. Best Battlefield I ever played.
Jan 14, 2013
Jan 18, 2013It Action the **** out of your brain, world war how you never see it again! Epic battles, huge maps, many vehicles to play! The best F2P Shooter since Team Fortress 2!

Mar 13, 2013
Mar 14, 2013Its Great. Would have scored 10 but hackers are ruining the fun. Join a clan and get involved. You need a beast of a PC to run it on max settings but looks amazing. There is a lot to learn but its worth the effort.

Jun 5, 2013Since launch the game changed by a large amout. Most of the initial annoyances are gone, and the dev team is putting much work in it. It's nice to see from such a large company like SOE that they listen to the fanbase, which rarely happens nowdays. It's a shame that the initial launch was rushed, but now the game is becoming what it should have been.

Jun 5, 2013The game had some flaws at release, but the development team is really dedicated on making the game better!
The games teamwork mechanic and gun play are both really fun!
I'm looking forward to what this game turns into in the future, and I love playing it! -
Jun 5, 2013
Jun 5, 2013The sheer scale and organization of PlanetSide 2 really overwhelms a new player, the thrill of running along with hundreds of teammates, doing large scale operations, is just one of a kind.
Not to mention that its graphics are basically god-tier, up there with Crysis and Battlefield for sure. -
Jun 5, 2013The game is definitely not pay to win: I play for free and I'm doing great. If you want to upgrade every class and every vehicle, it's going to take some time though. Excellent game overall, with an extremely dedicated dev team very close to the community. They are doing great work.
The game is very rough CPU wise though. -
Jun 6, 2013
Apr 11, 2014This game is fantastic. In my opinion, it's better than EA's garbage child - BF4. I actually played this game awhile back. Back when it was in it's **** condition. You know, poor optimizations and stuff. I hopped into it again, and was surprised on how much the performance improved. Which is amazing! Now I can enjoy the game fully.
Sep 28, 2014
Jan 12, 2013Perfect thrilling game! You only must learn to fight in this game and then everything will be all right. For a newbie this game will be difficult but when you fight together with your brothers-in-arm, when you step by step will study how to win the enemy then you will receive a lot of pleasure playing this game.
Dec 19, 2012Free to play alone sells this game, but add to it high production values, massive maps, huge player counts, one of the most complex perk upgrade systems in any game i've seen, good graphics... the only real weak spot of the game is floaty controls but other than that, it's a must have for any PC gamer.
Aug 30, 2013
Dec 6, 2012This is the best free FPS I have ever played. If your looking for a shooter and your tired of COD and BF3 you should definitely give this game a try. : )
Dec 3, 2012
Feb 22, 2013Most of the people that gave this game a poor score have not a PC that manages to run it properly. This is a fact. You need a high-end machine to appreciate this awesome MMOFPS to whom I can't find any real lack, a part a bit of lacking content. Its gameplay is fun and immersive and it just needs more development. Since it is fullt free to play I cannot give it anything less than a top score.

Nov 27, 2012Planetside 2 is a game that has unbelievable polish for what is a free game. while i admit that it has lag issues and bugs there are moments in this game that are absolutely spectacular. Plus its FREE so go play it for yourself
Dec 28, 2012
May 10, 2013The shooter fundamentals are all there. The visuals are great but the progression just doesn't seem to deliver any payoff for players outside of the hardcore. It's not quite as much of a shameless cash grab as something out of Zynga, but it definitely sours the experience.
Feb 19, 2013Planetside 2 is a good free-to-play, strong functional and very funny, which does not envy anything to the founders of the first-person shooter genre.
Feb 4, 2013It might look overly complicated, but PlanetSide 2 is nothing more than your average class-based, objective-oriented competitive FPS. What makes it stand apart from other F2P games (aside from the huge servers, of course) is the co-operation factor with other players. [February 2013]

(Photo Credit & Recipe: Radiogastronomy)
A recipe for Chorizo Stew called for fire roasted diced tomatoes. I typically just chop my own tomatoes and add spices, but this time I decide to splurge on a 28 oz can of Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes marked with the USDA Organic Label.
The contents look pretty much like your basic can of diced tomatoes, with the addition of a bit of charring on some of the tomato bits. However, despite the high price I paid to get some fancy-schmancy "fire roasted" tomatoes, the roasted flavor is very slight, and barely noticeable compared to regular diced tomatoes. At $3.29 for a can, this is almost twice the price of conventional diced tomatoes, so you're definitely paying for "organic" here.
Each 1/2 cup (130g) serving of Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes provides 30 calories, no fat or cholesterol, 290 mg sodium (12% of the daily value), 1 gram protein and 6 grams of carbohydrates which includes 1 gram of fiber (4% of RDA) and 4 grams sugar. Each serving also provides 10% of the RDA for Vitamin A and 35% of the RDA for Vitamin C.
At first I was impressed by the ingredient list, which names only five components: organic fire roasted tomatoes, organic tomato juice, sea salt, naturally derived citric acid, and calcium chloride. However, comparing this to a can of non-organic RedPack Diced Tomatoes at half the price, their ingredients are remarkably similar: tomatoes, tomato juice, salt, citric acid, and calcium chloride. Sure, the tomatoes in Muir Glen's version are organic and fire roasted, but otherwise, the taste is basically the same.
I noticed very little difference in flavor or consistency between this and conventional non-roasted diced tomatoes, and I think there are better things to spend my money on.

Oral History Program Patricia Brown McNamara Interviewed by Richard Sadler and Gene Sessions 31 May 2006 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Patricia Brown McNamara Interviewed by Richard Sadler and Gene Sessions 31 May 2006 Copyright © 2011 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. Oral History Project was created to capture the memories of individuals associated with the company. Several of the interviewees are family and relatives, others are personalities involved with Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. and some of the company's prominent figures. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

Ann Millner 2002 Patricia Brown McNamara 2001 1 Abstract: The following is an oral history interview with Patricia Brown McNamara. It was conducted by Dr. Richard Sadler and Dr. Gene Sessions on May 31, 2006. Ms. NcNamara is a granddaughter of W.H. Wattis, and in the interview she discusses her recollections of her grandfather and the Wattis family. Lisa Largent was also present during the interview. RS: Patty, we would like you to start by talking about where you grew up in Ogden, and the people you knew as a child. PM: I was born in the Dee Hospital. My father was a doctor. My mother and father had a home in North Ogden that was sort of like a farm. I really loved it there and I have pictures of me washing dishes to play. I was two or three years-old when we lived there and I liked that. Then my parents moved into Ogden on Van Buren Avenue, near 30th Street. I can remember playing with the kids next door. They were trying to take a mole off of me with a paring knife. I remember that. I guess I yelled and hollered. I can vaguely remember that I used to go to strangers' houses and I would say, "I've come to visit you." Nobody could find me. I was lost. I think that I was just looking for companionship because my mother had my sister Helen. That is my theory. I would say, "I've come to have tea," or something like that, and I enjoyed it. They were nice to me and they didn't realize that I could be lost. Then we moved down and lived with my grandmother and grandfather at Debbie Wattis' house. I remember that. There were big family dinners. My grandmother supervised the kitchen, but we had Sarah that did the cooking. 2 There was a big table and grandfather had a big chair that he sat in. There were a lot of people there besides me. I was told, "You have to eat all of your vegetables," but I would shove them under the table. Sarah never told on me. We used to have family dinners at the Weber Club. Certain people were invited by my grandfather and certain people were not. There was a girl who lived with my aunt as a helper and was an orphan. I felt really bad when my grandfather said she couldn't come because it was a family dinner. I remember seeing her cry. I thought that was quite mean. We would go to the club and have dinner and that is where I met Ed Littlefield. I am sure he never remembered it. He was visiting his grandparents. My grandfather took me over to introduce me to him. I was there by myself that day, instead of the whole family, because everybody was sick or something. It was just me, my grandfather, and my grandmother. Mostly, I remember the big dinners. They had courses. We ate crackers and butter and olives to keep us quiet. They would say, "Don't say anything, just listen." It seemed like I would say things and I didn't get scolded, and everybody would laugh. I would wonder, "What did I say?" I enjoyed that. All of the kids would go into a reading room and an Afro-American man, Rich, would tend us. I remember reading the "Katzenjammer Kids" while the grown-ups were having dinner. RS: I heard that your grandfather loved to drive his car around town, but he had a chauffeur. 3 PM: Yes. I don't know whether he'd had an accident or what. My grandmother had a red Locomobile. I have heard from other people that she was quite a dare-devil lady. She used to ride one of those bikes with the great big wheels down the hill on 26th Street. She also had a car and she backed out and went right through the fence into the neighbor's yard. She would never drive again, so it was just parked in a barn. RS: What more do you remember about W.H.? His personality, the way he looked, and the way he dressed? PM: Well, the way that he looked was sort of a red, florid face. I know that when he came home from the office, he sat on the couch and let us look at his watch. It had bells and I think it had a Masonic emblem. I would sit on his lap and he would work the watch. Sometimes, he came home and went into the library. Some men came into the library, too, and they would come in through a cloak room to go into the library—not into the living room. My grandmother would go in with a tray and ice and I never caught on. We were told to be quiet because the men wanted to talk. Then they would leave. Later on, I realized what they were doing, that they were having a few drinks and chatting. No drinking was seen by us. RS: Did he talk about work around the kids? PM: I remember when they decided to go with General Electric. I said, "Oh heck, I hate that because the fun is all gone." They talked about making bids and how close it was. They had a time that they were calling someone who didn't pick up the phone. It was a time that so-and-so was going to call someone and that 4 someone was waiting. This was in the twenties, so to telephone—and to telephone long-distance...of course, we had to be quiet when they were calling long-distance for business things like that. RS: The two brothers were legendarily close. What do you remember about E.O. and W.H. and their relationship? PM: They were close, and they were very close in taking care of this older sister, Aunt Janie. She was always in need. I wouldn't call her "in trouble," but she was needy. They were always worrying about her. I saw a letter once where they said, "We've got to get her a present." They got her a necklace of gray pearls that she wore often. It was very beautiful. They looked after her and worried about her. In fact, my grandmother told me that they had her living with my grandmother for a whole year. My grandfather promised the workmen, "If you work for me, your wife can stay at my house all through the winter time." My grandmother, of course, took care of all the guests. She said, "I have to have two separate meals," but Aunt Janie came to every meal, the first and the second meals. Aunt Janie had about twelve kids and almost everybody was related to her in some way. The best whistler in the orchestra was one of her grandsons. The flagman at the station in Uintah was one of her relatives. Everybody. RS: Speaking of Uintah, did you go to Uintah to see the homestead? PM: We went with my grandmother. A chauffeur drove us and we had buckets to water the graveyard. RS: Did they show you where the old homes were? PM: No, they didn't show us that at all. They just showed us the graveyard. 5 PM: My grandmother told me about the two children that died. When my grandfather ran for governor, it was interesting to be a part of the same thing that you see all the time in the paper. I was taken to this schoolhouse, all dressed up, and he gave a speech. It was the schoolhouse where he went to school. I remember being there. RS: We were there not long ago. The schoolhouse is gone now. PM: I was all around two times the last trip because I went with Helen's son. He invited me to stay with his daughter. There was a second trip in one week and I really enjoyed it. RS: Where did you go to school? PM: I went to Ogden High. I was in the old building the last year before it got condemned. I was a busy-body. I belonged to the German Club. Before that, in the junior high, I was in the Writers' Club. You had to be a favorite of the teacher to get in the Writers' Club. I didn't have that teacher because I was scared to have her. I heard she was really mean, but she thought I was okay. I was a maid of honor at the Classicalia in high school. The year before I was going to be a senior, the eye doctor in San Francisco said I should not go to school and that I shouldn't read. Well, I wouldn't have any of that—that I was not going to graduate and that maybe I could go back to school next year…you know, "She didn't make it, she had to go back." So I went to school anyway. I had a tutor for German and then a girl in chemistry helped me because I sure didn't know much chemistry while I was not able to see. I graduated anyway. RS: And after graduation? 6 PM: I fell in love, of course, but I had a feeling that I wanted to be able to support myself because I was a child of the Depression, but I could never even talk about it until way later. My father died and he left everything he had to his mother and his sister—except his Pierce Arrow, that went to my brother who was six or seven years old. He didn't leave me and my mother anything. RS: What did your father do? PM: He was in the construction business. He was not a very happy man. He didn't do too well. RS: How old were you when he died? PM: I was twelve. I went to court with my mother to try to get the will changed so that she had something for her children. The award was that when I was eighteen or twenty-one I could get some money. I took that money and went to Mexico for a trip because I wanted to travel. Back to where I was…I wanted to learn how to support myself. I went to the University of Washington because that seemed to be the one for art. Then I was in a sorority, but I really wasn't happy there. When I came back, I found a school in San Francisco that was an advertising art school. I really wasn't very good but that is what I wanted to do. Anyway, my grandfather died when I was thirteen. So, there we were. I knew that my mother wasn't paying the grocery bills, so it was kind of rough. RS: How old were you when your grandmother died? PM: When she died, I was twenty-five. My son had just been born. She and I were very close. When I went to that art school in San Francisco, I spent every 7 weekend with my grandmother in Walnut Creek. She would tell me tales about when she was young. I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to. She would tell me about a lawsuit that someone bought against the Eccles family. This woman had a son that was David Eccles' son but they weren't legally married. Anyway, she wanted part of what everybody else got. My grandmother said there was a lot of excitement. She said, "Even your mother's friends who were in school in Pennsylvania came to the trial." She said, "And that mother brought this boy out and he looked just like David Eccles." My grandmother refused to go to the ward there because of the unhappiness of her mother because of the polygamy. The elderly men said to her, "Well, you have to go to some church. You can't just not go." She said to me, "I went to the Episcopal Church in Ogden and I went by horseback." She told me this story when I was about nineteen or twenty. I didn't catch on for many, many years. What she was telling me was that she was stopped by an Indian. She said, "I was really frightened, but all he wanted was my blue beads." She was really frightened, but she gave up her blue beads and went on to the Episcopal Church. GS: What was Ogden like for you as a teenager? Did you go down on 25th Street? PM: Things were said about 25th Street that I listened to. I was a great person to listen to what people were saying when they didn't think I was listening. I kind of got the drift of 25th Street. Several people that we knew owned buildings down 8 there and so that was kind of chuckled about. They owned the buildings, but they didn't supervise what was going on in the buildings. In high school, we were adventurous and we would go walk down there. There was an Italian family there who had a restaurant. The mother cooked wonderful meals and our whole family would go down there. That was Pete Persontia. I can remember that. GS: Did you ever go to the Berthana or White City? PM: Yes. Several girls would give a dance and invite everybody. During holidays, the dances would be at the Berthana. Some at White City, not very much. We knew all about White City. My best friend, one of her relatives owned it. GS: How about the canyon? Did you go up the canyon much? PM: Yes, I loved it. You know the Gray Cliff Lodge? My grandmother had a house there. It was my grandfather's, too, but my grandmother stayed in it to get away from Ogden. She stayed all summer and she didn't have a phone there because she didn't like phones. It was a small place. I stayed there with her a lot. Next door to her in the Gray Cliff Lodge was the Higgenbotham family. They had to take turns. Their grandfather built Gray Cliff Lodge with apartments for all of his kids. He thought it would be a real nice idea. They could all have summer vacations together, but they didn't get along well, so they took turns. So it was the Higgenbockens' turn and I was there, and Peggy and I became really close friends—lifelong friends. Mr. Higgenbotham used to take us down to the hermitage. We could go fishing but it was kind of a slimy pond. It was sort of like 9 a fair; we would go fishing and if we got a number, we got a prize. It was nice of him to take us down there. GS: You mentioned meeting Ed Littlefield when you were children. Do you remember much about Ed? PM: I only saw him that one time in my whole life. His stepfather clicked his heels. I remember he came to the house when I was living with my grandmother and grandfather and he kissed my hand. I was probably five. I thought, "Oh that was something." RS: Quite a dandy. PM: Yes, I think so. Ed's mother was originally married to a man named Rhivers. I heard that she didn't like construction life, so she came back to Utah and then went to Los Angeles and met Mr. Hanke. She lived in Palm Springs, I think. GS: Tell us about your husband and where you lived. PM: My husband got a job through my uncle as a handyman in Toston, Montana. We lived in a trailer that we bought from my cousin, Donald. It was twenty degrees below zero and the sheets were frozen to the side of the bed. It was quite rough. Then he was transferred to North Carolina, so we took the trailer and lived there. They were building a dam. That was an interesting experience. It was so beautiful—there were lots of rhododendrons. Where we lived was exactly the same place where Rudolph, the abortion guy, lived. RS: They just caught him, not too long ago. PM: That was an interesting time. It was kind of scary, in a way, because there was a strike. At first, when we were in North Carolina, I was known as Pat Utah. Then 10 the natives changed my name to Pat Yankee because of the trouble about the union and stuff. RS: It is kind of hard to imagine a person from Utah being called a Yankee. GS: Well, I think the South is pretty tight on who's from there. Everyone else is a Yankee. PM: Yes, it was sort of like that. Some of the trouble was that the help came from the New York job and they were Yankees. They moved to North Carolina with the Utah Construction job, but they were Yankees. GS: Where did you meet your husband? PM: I met him in at Ogden High School. He had graduated when we really started going together. He was from a Mormon family. His name was Martin Ralph McNamara. His grandfather was an important man. He was the bishop of Roy. He was a southern gentleman, in a way. He was kind of the main thing in the family. My husband's father was a no-good kind of guy. They were divorced. His mother married a guy that worked in the Washington Market grocery store and they lived in the southern part of Ogden on Porter Avenue. His mother worked in the store. We don't like to go into it too much. I finally realized that he was crazy. He was really cruel. RS: Did it have to do with the way he was brought up? PM: His father, I guess, kind of abandoned him and then he had to live with his mother and stepfather and was mistreated. His mother moved to Montana and abandoned them, both him and his sister. So his grandmother was supposed to take care of them, but she had had a hard enough life herself, so she put them 11 on a train and sent them to Montana to his mother. He had a violent temper and it was quite a terrible marriage. RS: So after you lived in Montana, you lived in North Carolina? PM: We moved back to Utah from North Carolina and my husband worked a little bit for Bingham Canyon there. Then he decided to join the military—this was the war—and we had to bundle up Mike and move to San Francisco to stay with my mother. We thought that she would be happy to have me there, but she really wasn't. My husband and cousin were rejected from service for health reasons. We moved in with my mother and everybody had a farewell dinner for him and he was there for twenty-four hours. He had a scar in his lung and they were afraid that he could say that he got it later. RS: And then get a disability. PM: Yes. So that was kind of rough on him, I think, but he got good jobs because of my uncle. We were in San Francisco where he had an office job doing purchasing and was doing that until we were divorced. RS: So then you lived in San Francisco after you moved? PM: Yes, we lived with my mother and that was not very pleasant. Oh, and then my husband was in Pittsburgh and I think he thought that my mother could take care of us and she didn't appreciate that very much. It was pretty hard because my sister, Jane, was there, and it was sort of a pain in the neck with a little baby that cried a lot. Then, after being in Pittsburgh and coming back and living with my mother, I said we were going to have to buy a house because the poor baby was crying all the time and we weren't welcome. We could go over and stay at my 12 aunt's, but I had to keep carrying the baby because my aunt had all of these things around that he couldn't touch. At the apartment in San Francisco, the landlady didn't like us, either. She threw the diapers in the furnace and burned them up. The people in the apartments near us were nice to us. I said we were going to have to get a house and if we got transferred because of the construction business, we could rent it. We were in Provo, Utah, for a while, at the Columbia, while they were building Geneva Steel. We were there and it was before Mike was born and we were living in an apartment there. A woman named Peggy was my good friend, but next door to me was this lady and she would say to me, "Go back to where you belong" and "Get out of here." I had a dog and she said that the dog ate her chickens. The dog was a Scottie and he did run around a lot. I remember one time that I was crying and she called the police and the police patted my back. She said, "You're a foreigner, get out of here." I just said, "Well, I was born in Ogden and I don't feel that I'm a foreigner." RS: You didn't feel very welcome in Provo, then. PM: No, it was just the place next door, that's all. My friend Peggy was really nice to me. RS: After you got divorced, then, you didn't have any direct contact with company projects, but you were still in the family. Did you go to social functions with the company? PM: No, nothing like that. I know that my husband told the office to send all the information to him if there was a dividend. So I didn't know if I was going to get 13 anything. I called the office and I said, "Why did you do that?" They said, "Because you told us to," and I said, "No, I didn't." They started yelling at me. It wasn't a social place. RS: Did you know Marriner Eccles very well? PM: No. I'm sure that I met him. I used to kind of know one of his daughters, Eleanor Eccles. She was a friend of my cousin's. I knew the Ogden Mrs. Eccles. I remember saying to my sister, Jane, "Didn't you know that he had other wives?" She said she didn't know. There was Marin and Marilyn; I knew them and their fathers real well, but I didn't know the others. They did move into Ogden, the other family, but I didn't know them very well. I know that my sister said, "Marin and Marilyn, why are their names so similar?" I said, "Well, Marin is probably a Swedish or Norwegian name. It is quite a nice name. Marilyn was named after Marilyn Miller, a dancer and a Broadway star." RS: I didn't know that. PM: Marilyn told me that she was told this. Her father became friends with Al Jolsen on a train. He invited him to come up to his house for an hour while. Marilyn was a baby and he said, "Oh, what a cute baby. You should name her after Marilyn Miller." I knew Joseph Eccles and I knew Royal Eccles. Joseph was nice to me. Royal wasn't. He was in sort of a bad mood about everything. RS: Did you know Lester Corey and Allen Christensen? PM: Yes, I knew Lester Corey. I didn't know Allen Christensen very well, but I knew Lester and I knew Hank Loller really well. He was really nice to me. He liked me, so that was nice. When I was at the Hoover Dam, he would take me into the 14 mess hall for lunch and he would wait until I had finished eating everything that I wanted. Hank absolutely could not stand to go out to dinner with anybody because it took too long, but he would just wait until I finished two servings or some apple pie. RS: Hank was a tough guy. PM: Yes, and he was so nice to me. LL: How old were you at that time? PM: I was fifteen or so. RS: Tell us more about the Hoover Dam at the time when you were there. PM: That was fun—to get there and see it. RS: How much time did you spend there? PM: It would be like a few days at a time, not to live there or anything. It was really nice to go on the train or drive, and have the car break down, of course, but that is something else. It was interesting to go on the train and be met by somebody who would pick us up and take us to the guest house. Have you heard about that? RS: Yes, there in Boulder. PM: Jack was saying that he knew that it meant a lot to Helen. It was not as high as Frank Crow's house. It was furnished up. I guess they got an interior decorator. There was mission-style furniture and we had yellow sheets, not white sheets. There was a cook there all the time. They had someone that had been a butler. So that was quite luxurious. I remember that Boris Karlov was there. I remember seeing that. 15 RS: So you would go over and look at the dam? PM: Yes, they would pick us up and I remember going with my grandmother because she was honored to be taken there, so I basked in her glory. She was an old lady but she jumped off a wall that was being built. I thought, "For goodness' sake, she's agile." Also, when I was there with Hank, he took me down to the very bottom of the dam and he said, "Now you wait here because you can't go in. They think it's bad luck if a female goes in the tunnel." While I was waiting, a man that was driving a truck across the dam said, "Did you want a ride?" and I said, "Sure." So that was fun. When I got back, Hank was mad. He said, "I told you to stay there. Something could have happened." I wasn't afraid because I didn't think of anything happening. RS: Did you meet Frank Crow? PM: Yes. He was nice to me. He was always really, really nice to me. He had a fight with his wife on Mother's Day. RS: He was under a lot of pressure. PM: Yes, and he was never home. That is what their fight was about. GS: Did you ride the train from Ogden to Las Vegas? PM: Yes. GS: And then someone picked you up in Las Vegas and you went to Boulder City. PM: Yes, we went through the Indian reservation. GS: Was the food pretty good at the guest house? PM: Yes, it was nice. They had really good cocoa. The mess hall was a famous place because all these guys were unemployed—not all of them, of course—but most 16 were unemployed and here was all this food. Utah Construction's idea was to feed them well so they would stay to work. They would have two or three main courses all at the same time. They would have steak and stew and chicken in big platters, and that is what I was doing when Hank would wait for me to eat all this stuff—different desserts and things like that. Anderson Brothers had food-serving contracts during the war. They knew what they were doing. It was a lot of good food. RS: When did you last see your grandfather? PM: I went to see him when he was very ill and dying in the hospital. My mother went and took Jane and Dick and Helen. I never got to go, so my aunt took me. That was a wonderful trip because we came on the ferry. I had never been out of Ogden and there I was on the ferry. We went to the hospital and we stayed right in the hospital there. My grandfather was still being treated very, very well by everybody that knew him. He would say, "I wish I didn't have all these books and all these flowers. I just wish I could just be me and be well." It made him feel bad to keep getting special books and flowers and attention. RS: It must have been hard on him not to be able to be involved in the dam projects after he had set it up. PM: There were all of the things in the paper about how he got the six companies going. I enjoyed meeting the people that were there—like Charlie Shea and Harry Morrison. I knew Mr. Morrison and his secretary. 17 GS: What was your impression of how your grandfather and his brother E.O. shared the work? What kinds of things did they do different while they were supporting each other? PM: Well they just really got along. I grew up thinking that E.O.'s children didn't like me. They didn't like my grandmother and they didn't like my mother and my aunt. There were four daughters. There was one daughter that always came and visited my grandmother. That is when I was living with them. There was all of this contention, but not with the two brothers. I guess you've heard that before. I don't know. RS: Why do you suppose there was that contention between the two families? PM: I can't really say, but what I heard on my side was that they made fun of my grandmother. Aunt Martha made fun of my grandmother and called her an old shoe. Now I don't know why they would do that. My grandmother was not from Denmark—her mother was from Denmark—but she was very poor. She went to Sacred Heart on 25th Street and then she worked for the Corey family on 26th Street. That is where she met my grandfather, I think. They said that they met at a dance and that they fell in love right there. But anyways, there was an awful lot of contention with the four daughters and my mother and my aunt, and I think they said things to each other that were kind of not nice. RS: Just little things that built up? PM: Yes, but because my grandmother belonged to this club that Aunt Martha started…I heard them talking once about this club and they said that they didn't know who started it, but later I thought, "Oh, that was the one that was named 18 the Martha Society." It was Martha—Aunt Martha—who started it. My grandmother was in it and she had some silver that had belonged to the Martha Society. My grandmother took me to this wonderful thing that she said orphans were putting on about butterflies. I was only about five or four. It was an age when people danced with shawls and scarves, and she took me to that because the Martha Society put it on. Then my aunt and my mother figured out a good way to have my cousin Donald, me, and maybe Dorothy boil eggs for Easter for the orphans. We just loved it so much that we got to do it a couple of years later, too. We even shined up the eggs with butter. RS: When we get to the 1950s and 1960s, Ed comes onboard and the company really begins to change. What were your impressions of that period? PM: Well, there is a lot that I didn't realize at the time, though I found out more. My son was working for Utah Martin and Day, but he knew some things. That was my only contact. It was just a shock to suddenly not be a construction company anymore. It was so much fun wondering if we would get the job or not. RS: It was your impression that the company was changing rapidly? PM: Yes, and my uncle was the superintendent. He had a high job. GS: What was his name? PM: George Bowman. I remember he liked me. He was dismissed from Utah Construction. He said to me, "I just want you to know that they've kicked me out." The poor man was shaking. There was a lot going on that I learned about later. My aunt and my uncle were trying to push their son-in-law and their son, Donald. Donald is a really nice guy but he has a lot of brain damage. My aunt and uncle 19 wanted to get them on the board of directors. The son-in-law was a beautiful guy, real handsome, but nobody liked him. They didn't want him, you know. Aunt Stella and Uncle George promised Ed Littlefield—this is from my son—that they wouldn't nominate him, but they did, and that was it. RS: Has the difference between the two families begun to go away? Are the families coming together now? PM: I don't think there is anything to get together about. I don't know. I used to go to every kind of funeral. I didn't notice it until later, but I was ignored. I went to Paul Wattis' funeral because he was nice to me. I thought, "Well, maybe they didn't recognize me," but I went to that because he was a well-meaning guy. RS: Always a nice guy from every account. So you feel like there is not going to be any kind of meeting between the two? PM: My sister, Jane, was approached, but I never was. I think it is partly because of who I was married to, maybe. I don't know. RS: Did you feel like some of your folks were treated unfairly, or do you think that didn't really matter? PM: I don't know what to say about that. When Dan McNamara was between jobs, he went up to the Utah Construction office to ask for a job and he was kind of pushed aside. There was some kind of an article right there in the office that said the Utah Construction Company was founded by E.O. Wattis. You know, W.H. was left out and they did that a lot. Dan said he wrote "Lies" on the article. I said, "Dan, you're not going to get a job doing that." RS: When the merger with General Electric was announced, what did you think? 20 PM: It was a shock. It was a surprise and I had to sort of get used to it. It turned out that it was a good idea. As I said, the fun was: are we going to get the job or not? RS: That was the great reason for the success—they were so good at bidding. GS: Is 1928 when W.H. ran for governor? PM: Yes, I think. You'd better check that. He ran two times and lost two times. He should have known better. He wasn't a Mormon. RS: Thank you, Patty. Your insights on Ogden and the family were really wonderful.

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD)This web portal aims to facilitate access by developing countries to information made available by Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders in a number of areas related to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.
Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF)The UNFCCC defines "sink" as "any process, activity or mechanism which removes a greenhouse gas, an aerosol or a precursor of a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere". The development of policy on "sinks" has evolved to cover emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) activities and thus, the acronym LULUCF is now used to refer to this sector.
Research and Systematic ObservationThe Convention calls on Parties to promote and cooperate in research and systematic observation of the climate system, including through support to existing international programmes and networks (see Articles 4.1(g) and 5). In doing so, the Convention commits Parties to cooperate to improve the capacities of developing countries to participate in research and systematic observation. "Research and Systematic Observation" has regularly been an agenda item of the SBSTA since its seventeenth session.
Other Methodological IssuesThis section includes information about interactions with the ozone layer; the Brazilian proposal; single projects; review of methodological work; Third Assessment Report of the IPCC; and links to sources of data on greenhouse gas emissions and to socio-economic data and tools.

Only interested if they stream Talking Dead.
AMC cant milk TWD for ever though, this season should prove to be one of the best, then it will follow the same downward repetitive boring spiral the comic did after the prison and prison redux arcs.
I've never seen the Talking Dead.. Is that pretty good? It's the follow up show, I know this much.. That would be a cool stream..

Let me ask you something. If you were to lift one of your feet upwards and kind of wave it back and forth, back and forth, what do you see? Do you see tight and strong leg muscles? Or do you see wavy muscles which pretty much look like leg fats? I would seriously give anything just to lose my leg fats and get those bulky leg muscles. It's a good thing there are exercises and activities we can do to strengthen our leg muscles. What's better? There are equipments which can help us get the leg muscles we want. One of these equipments is the elliptical machine.
What is an elliptical machine?
Elliptical machine is an exercise equipment on which you can have the stimulation you get when you run, walk or climb the stairs. It's like a treadmill but there are two specific pedals; when you step down on one of them the other one will rise up. This exercise machine can usually be found at gyms.
What are the benefits of using elliptical machines?
• Elliptical machines can improve your leg muscles
Every time you pedal your elliptical machine, your leg exerts effort. This in return makes your leg muscles stronger, tighter, and more muscular. You got that right. Exercising using the elliptical machine is gonna mean waving goodbye to your fatty legs.
• Using elliptical machines could be your strength and aerobic training
During elliptical machine workouts, you are in fact doing work and exerting lots of strength and engaging every part of your body in movement. You can also elevate your heart rate whilst breathing and burning those undesirable fats and calories. Strength and aerobic exercise all rolled into one!
How should we define the best elliptical machines for us?
We can say that the best elliptical machines…
• Have comfortable pedals
While there are actually no significant effects of the pedals to our exercise using the elliptical machines, I'm sure you would agree with me when I say that stepping on comfortable pedals will make pedalling much easier. Just imagine: what if your elliptical machine's pedals have thorns in them, would you still like to pedal and exercise? Of course not. So make sure the pedals are real comfy.
• Have strong frames
Of course you have to consider the frames of the machine. It literally holds the whole equipment together. Always bear in mind that larger and heavier frames which are usually made of steel are stronger and will be able to hold heavier people. So if you want the best elliptical machines, think about the frames.
Why get the best elliptical machines?
Simply because you deserve the best! I mean, who would want to work out with some exercise equipments which after a week would just immediately become useless scrap metals, right? Let's just furthermore say that getting the best elliptical machines and using them the right way will eventually lead to getting the best of health and best form of your leg muscles.

bird linen mix pullover
by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne Studios' first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

Bipod Mount (p 125) uses text that is inconsistent with other weapon descriptions for modification additions. Currently "This attachment can only be applied to blaster rifles, heavy blaster rifles, ands light repeating blasters." seems overly restrictive. currently by RAW, this cannot be applied to a Slugthrower rifle. I suggest replacing this text with the text from the "Forearm Grip" equipment (same page, left column, middle) removing the heavy restriction and adding the Light repeating blaster element to the phrase.
It would thus read "This attachment can only be used on rifles, carbines, and light repeating blasters." which would make more sense.

The Austin-based members of Pattern Review are thrilled to invite you to visit our city for the 2014 Pattern Review Weekend! Pattern Review Weekend promises to be an adventure in fabric, food, and fun with fellow sewing enthusiasts. We know our fellow members from the boards and now we have the opportunity to get acquainted in person.
Pattern Review Weekend is a very different kind of event than other sewing conferences. This weekend has always been about getting together with our sewing sisters (and brothers!), fabric shopping, having a big group dinner, and later sharing our shopping finds. This year, though, we have a wealth of Austin-based talent to share and not as much fabric shopping as previous weekends in NYC or LA, so for the first time ever we've added a few optional classes and are having multiple speakers, including hometown favorite, Project Runway All Star Daniel Esquivel. To add to the fun, we've also scheduled our weekend to coincide with Austin Fashion Week to give those of us who might not get a chance to attend fashion weeks in NYC or Paris the opportunity to taste that experience Austin Style.
Keep in mind, space is limited. So what are you waiting for? Get registered now!

"This is gorgeous, classic. The fabric is fantastic."
Happily Eva After
Following eight soapy years of Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria is embarking on a new phase. One that involves our President, Fellini, made-for-TV dating and dresses borrowed from her bestie.
Eva Longoria wants you to know that you can get a lot more done than you think. Specifically she wants me to know that as she stands in front of me topless at a photo shoot, asking why I'm pausing between questions. "Keep firing away," she says. "Don't stop." During her eight-year tenure at Desperate Housewives, which ended in May, she learned two languages—French and Spanish—in her trailer between scenes, wrote a cookbook and spent her nights getting a master's in Chicano studies (she's currently working on her thesis). And now she's national co-chair of Obama for America. Her hairstylist starts talking about how they were all at Longoria's house the other day, a few hours before the premiere of her latest film, For Greater Glory, when someone mentioned they had a craving for tortillas, and suddenly there was Longoria, rolling out dough as she waited for the color in her hair to set. I get the sense that she might start doing something similar right now if she's not given a second task other than posing for a magazine cover, which she can clearly do in her sleep. Although, for all I know, her sleeping might be reserved for learning German.
About those slightly awkward pauses: To be honest, Longoria's toplessness probably played a part. I've never quite wrapped my head around where I'm supposed to look when it comes to this kind of casual standing-up-naked-person conversation. Plus we're here to talk about her personal style, and that's hard to ascertain when so far she's only been wearing a robe or less. Occasionally I'll see a major movie star on the street in New York and be blown away by how much better they look on camera. Or I'll see an actress who mainly plays supporting roles, who always looked so ordinary, who's just crazy-stunning in real life. But Longoria looks exactly as pretty as every picture you've ever seen of her. Her eyes are just as amazing, her skin every bit as glowing.
She takes off a gold bracelet by Solange Azagury-Partridge that was a gift from her best friend, Victoria Beckham (Longoria gave her one in return). "Victoria is so funny!" Longoria says. "And I have such appreciation for her style." She slips into a Gucci sheath dress with a chiffon bodice and velvet accents. "This is gorgeous, classic," she says. I ask her if it would be something she'd wear to the White House and then immediately regret it. I know that when it comes to celebrities, I'll never be able to really grasp what their lives are like—particularly when they intersect with the President's. The look on her face confirms this. "The back is too sheer for the White House," she says. "I'd never wear this." What does she wear then? "A lot of Victoria Beckham. Her sheath dresses. They're just so easy." When it comes to Beckham's line, she and her friend wear the same size; often Longoria just borrows directly from the designer's personal closet.
I ask her about life post-Housewives and whether it already feels like it happened a long time ago, the way weekends in the country can feel once you're back in the city. "I miss the consistency of going to work," she says. "Same people, same routine." Some semblance of that consistency can be found in her latest movie projects. For Greater Glory, a historical drama set during Mexico's 1920s Cristero War, stars Andy Garcia as a rebel leader and Longoria as his wife. Garcia and Longoria have already shot a second film together called The Truth, where he plays an ex-CIA agent–turned–political talk show host to Longoria's corporate whistle-blower (a bilingual role). "After making For Greater Glory, we said, 'Okay, we're going to do every movie together.' We wanted to put it in each other's contracts. I'll do anything he asks." She has two more movies coming out this year and two more in the works, including Married With Cheating with Sarah Jessica Parker and Days of Mary (a remake of Fellini's Nights of Cabiria) with Juliette Lewis. "On a television show, you basically make a movie a week," she says. "Movies take three months—it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me."
She tells me she doesn't have a preference for comedies or dramas or, for that matter, acting or producing, which she also does. "I'm an overlapper," as she puts it. She's currently an executive producer of Marc Cherry's new prime-time Lifetime soap, Devious Maids, as well as a dating show for NBC called Ready for Love, which, to me, seems like it could open her up for a whole new round of speculation about her own already very public personal life. But when I ask her why she was drawn to the project, she says there hasn't been a fresh take on the modern dating world yet and shrugs. Which might be a way of saying, "Let's not go there for once."
She's more effusive when talking about the minutiae of education reform in the Latino community or how hard it is to pass a citizenship test. (Longoria had her assistant, a U.S. native, take the test. She failed.) "They're not easy questions. When was the Constitution ratified?" Longoria asks the room.
"1786!" shouts out the photographer.
"No!" says Longoria. "1787!"
She's been studying the Constitution as well, both for herself but also as a way for her, as a Democrat, to comprehend the Right. "I think it's important that people who are politically active understand the other side as well," she says. "I just read the Ronald Reagan biography. When you're fighting for social justice, one of my biggest pet peeves is speaking out of ignorance."
Longoria tells me she's been interested in politics since she was 17, when a high school teacher in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas, made her class volunteer for a presidential campaign. It was 1992; she picked Clinton. Right now, as part of Obama's reelection campaign, she's been spending a lot of time in the swing states, talking with women and Latino voters.
She says fashion is the last thing on her mind during these times, that she just wears a uniform of jeans and tanks and blazers (Zara is a longtime favorite), but even so, I can't imagine her ever looking messy. She's got that kind of shiny hair that looks so tidy pulled into a ponytail, as though each strand is as hyper-committed to its work as she is. I try to picture what she must be like talking to voters. There are photos of her online selling Girl Scout cookies to construction workers in a scene from Desperate Housewives. In the pictures Longoria's wearing a skintight sequined top, miniskirt and what look like five-inch stiletto heels. Even though the scene's comedy is based on the idea that it's her skimpy outfit that closes the deal, there's an aspect of her real-life personality that applies as well. She has this firm, matter-of-fact authority about her that makes it feel illogical to not do what she tells you to. If she were able to talk to every person in the country for even just a minute, Obama would have this next election in the bag.
She throws another question at the room: "Who wrote the Federalist Papers? Remember, the Founding Fathers are different from the people who were in the convention." When nobody can answer, she shouts out that one of its authors is Alexander Hamilton, whose biography is her current vacation read. During the next outfit change, she pulls on a pair of embellished Topshop shorts. "I like a leggy outfit," she says. Pairs of shoes are offered up as potential fits, each of them very tall. "I was born in platform heels," she says. "I actually always fall down when I'm wearing flip-flops." Standing there barefoot, she looks so tiny. Even so, I'm sure she'd still be able to sell the hell out of a box of Thin Mints.

This is a common location for people buying, selling, and trading items they have discovered on Facebook.
The Cleveland, MS Resale/Swap Shop page on Facebook was created by Kacie Davis, mother and owner of Squiggle Stitch children's wear.
Davis said the original idea wasn't hers and that pages had been appearing all over Facebook for north Mississippi.
"To be honest, I was a little jealous that we didn't have one for Cleveland," said Davis.
Open to people in Cleveland and the surrounding Delta, the Resale page has grown since its creation in January of this year to 2,990 members.
On this page, members can post pictures of items they wish to sell or donate, and buyers comment on the items.
The rules state that the page is not an auction page and the item goes to the first person to comment.
"I and the other administrators put a lot of work into the page," said Davis.
The page is also a forum for questions such as where yard sales will be, what items are needed for certain charities, and general questions about items that can be found in or around Cleveland.
The page includes a list of rules that must be read before participating, as well as frequently asked questions, and safety suggestions, such as meeting in well lit areas, in which the back parking lot of Walgreens is suggested.
"I never anticipated it growing like it did. I was actually worried that I wouldn't get enough people interested to keep it going," said Davis.
With new items being posted every few minutes, it is evident that the page is not having any problems in popularity.
Ruthie Baker-Forbes, member of the page said, "this site is awesome for both sellers and buyers and it can be fun!
I've met a lot of women that I wouldn't have met otherwise."
Due to the site's constant growth, Davis has enlisted the help of four other administrators, including Audra Laney.
"We have a few rules we ask users to abide by in order to keep the site running smoothly and always stress meeting in public places to keep things safe," said Laney.
These administrators help to enforce rules as well as work hard to be sure the page abides by the rules set by Facebook.
"In a time where people are stretching their dollars, this site provides local residents the opportunity to get items they need or want and also make some extra cash on items collecting dust at their houses," said Laney.
The page also has a "sister page" called Cleveland, MS Craft Shop where users can sell handmade items.
"Our sister page is giving talented individuals a great outlet for advertising their items," said Laney.
With the hard work from the administrators and the enthusiasm of its members, it is evident that this page will continue to thrive.

"It is my understanding that the state has presented H.B. 921 to the U.S. Department of Justice for pre-clearance," Simmons explained. "The DOJ, in return, has not responded to the motion so existing law still prevails."
Simmons said that what that means is that voters will not have to provide a form of identification when hitting the polls for the presidential election on Tuesday.
Bolivar County Circuit Clerk Marilyn Kelly said, "Mississippi has always required first-time registrants who failed to register with the circuit clerk's office to show picture identification at the polls. These people will be the only ones who are required by law to show a picture ID on Tuesday.
Bryant said Wednesday he thinks it would be a good idea for people in the state to voluntarily show identification when they vote, even though the law does not require it.
"If you have to show an ID to buy a pack of cigarettes or to buy alcohol, which you should, then certainly you ought to have to present an ID to vote, so that we are certain that you're not stealing someone else's liberty and their chance to vote," Gov. Phil Bryant said.
Bryant's comments came in response to a question from The Associated Press after he spoke at the Mississippi Economic Council's Hobnob, a social gathering for business people and politicians.
Since then, those remarks have been the topic of much criticism.
"As chairman of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus, I would like to express my grave disappointment with statements made by Gov. Phil Bryant urging the showing of photo identification for voting in the upcoming presidential election," said Sen. Kenneth Wayne Jones. "As elected officials, we are responsible for providing clear, concise and accurate information to our constituents, not our opinions.
"This type of misleading information coming from the governor of our great state is confusing and intimidating to voters in an already fragile process. We should all follow the law, and right now, only first time voters who registered by mail will have to show ID because of federal law," Jones continued. "As members of the legislature, let's keep our information accurate and try to keep our opinions to ourselves. Mississippians deserve the best we can give."
Simmons agreed residents of Mississippi need to have a clear understanding of the voting laws that are still in place.
Last November 62 percent of Mississippi voters passed Initiative 27 and the state legislature proposed and passed House Bill 921.
The bill requires voters to present identification before voting; and requires the secretary of state to negotiate a memorandum of understanding between the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and the registrar of each county for the purpose of providing a Mississippi Voter Identification Card.
Bryant signed it on May 17.
However before the bill could be put into action, the U.S. Department of Justice had to approve the measure.
"I, and many of my peers, have been receiving a number of calls and we just want to make sure that everyone understands that ID will not be needed at the polls this year," Simmons said.
In a recent decision the justice department rejected similar laws in South Carolina and Texas, but according to the National Council of State Legislatures, four states currently have photo identification requirements as strict as the one Mississippi would enact.
The department of justice in early October asked Mississippi officials for more information about the proposed law, including facts that might prove an ID law wouldn't discriminate against minority citizens.
Simmons added that anyone who might experience any harassment or be asked to show identification should contact their county election commissioner, the county Circuit Clerk's office or his office at (601)359-3237.

Vicky BoydReps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., have introduced a bill in Congress that would temporarily restrict the use of some pesticides that have been linked to honeybee deaths.
Dubbed the "Save America's Pollinators Act," House Resolution 2692 would direct the Environmental Protection Agency to suspend use of many neonicotinoids for use in seed treatment, soil application or foliar treatment on bee-attractive plants, according to a news release.
Neonicotinoids, a family of synthetic nicotine relatives, include imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, dinotefuran and acetameprid.
The restrictions would have to occur within 180 days of the bill's passage, according to the release.
The bill also would require a review of the chemical class and require the EPA to make new determination about their proper application and safe use.

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has announced a significant rise in new student numbers and online service customer satisfaction at the end of its 2011/12 operating year.
Total increase in membership in 2011-12 has been 7,000 (4.8%) while over 70,000 new students started studying for the ACCA Qualification. ACCA now has 154,000 members and 432,000 students in 170 countries.
Sustained investment in customer service over the past 12 months has seen customer service targets reached and online customer experience improved. In addition, ACCA has seen a significant rise in satisfaction with the public value created through its global policy positions and activities.
Helen Brand, ACCA's chief executive, comments: 'ACCA's results show that we continue to deliver towards our goal to be the leading global professional accountancy body in reputation, influence and size. We've seen strong demand for the ACCA Qualification, with significant growth in established markets – such as China, Singapore, Malaysia, the Caribbean and the UK – and in new markets too.
'We've taken significant steps forward in our quality of customer service. Our members and students are now starting to see the benefits of investments made in recent years to improve our processes, IT infrastructure and customer service levels. This has included our customer contact centre, ACCA Connect, now being open 24/7, 365 days a year.'
Key indicators include:
- 75% of students and 70% of members now say ACCA is easy to do business with online
- 85% of exam entries are now made through the ACCA website
- 90% of online student registrations are now completed within seven days.
Helen Brand continues: 'This is a good outcome. We know we need to go further to improve satisfaction ratings even more and have plans to increase our performance around service delivery, including the website. I remain committed to ensuring that we provide a good and consistent standard of customer service and to innovating what we do to ensure we continue to meet the needs of employers.
'I am particularly pleased to see that we are enhancing our global reputation through our policy and technical work. ACCA's Council is clear that we must demonstrate public value in all that we do. We have outperformed our target in relation to employers believing that our global policy output brings public value. This reflects the investment we have made in new Global Forums with high-profile membership from many leading organisations around the world, an enhanced research programme on key areas of importance to CFOs and increasing influence with policymakers, regulators and standard setters. I am proud that ACCA continues be independent in its approach, while fully engaged with experts to shape our thinking, addressing the key issues which will enhance the global profession in the interests of better business.
'We believe that this focus is strengthening even further the ACCA brand and I am delighted that members continue to recognise the value they obtain from ACCA.'

The name is a mouthful, but it means you'll be steps from Midtown's most exciting attractions. How about Times Square and the bright lights of Broadway? You're less than a 10-minute walk. Fabulous Fifth Avenue? Just a half-block away. Rockefeller Center, about a 5-minute walk from this Manhattan hotel, should be on your must-see list--especially for the spectacular views from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. And if you're traveling with your daughter, she'll adore American Girl Place, just 4 blocks up Fifth Avenue. At magnificent Grand Central Terminal, one-third mile from the hotel, you can admire the soaring, star-studded ceiling and, of course, catch the subway to points around town. Buy a loaf of freshly baked bread, a wedge of cheese, and some cupcakes from the purveyors on the main-level Grand Central Market, and stroll a couple more blocks to Bryant Park for an only-in-New-York picnic. If you brought a car, parking is available.
If a day on the town has emptied your pockets, you'll appreciate the complimentary buffet breakfast each day, complimentary wireless Internet access throughout the hotel, and the cash machine in the lobby. If you have to dash off a quick email, make a copy, or print off information before stepping out the door, just stop by the 24-hour business center. Disciplined guests can fit in a workout at the gym across the street (surcharge).
Ready to settle down for the evening? Guestrooms provide a relaxing retreat, with comfy pillowtop mattresses, flat-screen TVs, and double-glazed windows for peace and quiet. Cozy up and write emails to friends with complimentary wireless Internet access. Your dog is welcome at this Holiday Inn Express for a surcharge--and he'll be grateful not to have to fetch the morning paper--every weekday it comes delivered to your door. Rollaway beds can be provided for an extra charge.
