Abstract: This is an oral history of Adele Bryan Lewis. It was conducted February 12, 2007 and concerns her recollections of the history of the Marriott-Slaterville area. AL: My husband was James H. Lewis. We have always lived at 1597 South 1200 West, between the railroad tracks and the river. We bought our house in about 1950 from Ken DeFriez and Ruth. My husband was working at the railroad as an electrician and doing a little electrical work on the side. He worked and studied until he could take out his contractor's license. He became an electrical contractor. Our business was in the city of Ogden but we still lived in Marriott. We lived in the old Wecker place, an original pioneer, two-room brick building. They had a lean-to type room on the back over a half-cellar for the boys in their family. They had a pioneer orchestra who furnished music for the church dances. Every summer we would be visited by some very strange people who just descended on us and wanted to take pictures of this old house. We had remodeled the house and they were somewhat put out when they came by to take pictures for their family books of remembrance. They even acted a little rude that we would do such a thing as remodel the place. Perhaps what I can tell you most about is Marriott, as I saw it, after I moved here. Our church was on 12th street. It was very badly in need of repair and the ward members did not want to repair it. They finally called a new bishop to build a new ward [building] and that is when we joined the Slaterville ward in the new building. This bishop was named Brother Buck. The old building is what I remember first about coming to Marriott. They had the ward reunions there and the Relief Society was called upon to serve the food and wash the dishes. They had an old washing machine that they used to fill with water so that we would have water to wash the dishes. One corner of the basement had water in it and they had a wooden slat floor built over it. The first time I saw this I was very disturbed, because my children were going to a Junior Sunday School in part of this basement. I understand they used to have dances up on the second floor. When they had the dances the whole building would shake. It was badly in need of repair. I have joined the Daughters of the Pioneers after a few years of living out here. Our camp was named after Susan Marriott who was one of the original settlers of Marriott. Her husband was John, and the best thing he did for our town was to fall in the water. I understand he did much of the labor himself of digging the irrigation ditches. There were two main irrigation ditches that took water out of the river. The original pioneers were very forward looking on filing on the water so that it could not be taken away from us. They formed this irrigation company which is in service even to this day. John Marriott was a very strong fellow. He told stories about how strong he was, that he could pick up a thrasher and move it if it needed moving. He was quite a rugged man and very influential in our town. This Daughters of the Pioneers camp has different stories that they are willing to tell you. We have been meeting here in our new building from time to time. It seems very interesting. When I first moved here, we had a party line on our phone. I remember our signal was four rings. It was quite busy because we had so many people on the line and you couldn't help but hear things as you picked up the phone and it would be busy. Sometimes we were a little lax in putting it down. So everybody knew each other's business. It was not long after I moved here that Meachams had a house fire and their little daughter was burned to death. They lived just east of Elmer's and we always said we lived in Elmerville. But that was a very sad day. That was the most tragic thing that happened that I remember in my early days in Marriott. I suppose the golden age of Marriott was before my time when the church was new. My husband was on the planning commission. When we moved the church they thought about incorporating but we didn't have enough people or enough tax-base to incorporate. We had to wait clear until now when we could incorporate with Slaterville. The whole community was built around the church. We all had about three or four jobs, and to get out of your job, it had to be when you were expecting a new baby or took two others. My fondest memories of Marriott are my family and relations with the people. I think moving here made me a better Christian. The first thing I found out in the first two or three weeks was that I must not say anything about anybody that lived in Marriott. The only people that were not related to everybody were the Elmers, the Meachams, and the Lewis'. Everyone else to the north of the tracks were all related. My children went to the new pioneer school. Actually, we wired it as an electrical contractor. The architect was John Pierce and it was one of the first schools with the idea that several classes could be in a pod. It was more opened learning. I thought it was very nice because my kids were more outgoing. Now I think that the school system—now that they go out to West Weber, it is more just one teacher and one class. In this first school it was one class and many teachers. If a child was not outgoing, they would kind of get left behind in the shuffle. My kids, the older children, went to Weber High School. #1: No, Wahlquist first. AL: Yes, Wahlquist. The first remodel of Wahlquist, of course, we wired that one too. Wahlquist was very good because they always forgot their gym clothes or something on Monday morning and it was not too far to run it over there to them. Then they went to Weber High. The first two of my children graduated from Weber High. I take that back. My daughter graduated from Weber High. My older son was the first graduation class from the new Weber High up in North Ogden. The difference in the way that I dated and the way that my family dated was quite different. I cannot remember—when I grew up we dated in more of a group. I was attending Brigham Young University the year that the war was declared and that changed everything. That was in 1941. When I was going to the Y we had five thousand students and the University of Utah had eight thousand. The war changed everything. I went to Salt Lake to work, and there I met my husband who was going to the University of Utah. It was coming up close to his draft number so he joined the Navy. We wrote letters and courted more long distance. However, I was engaged before he went into the Navy. We went to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and were married. I followed him to Oakland, California where he was in the Navy. He was a hospital quorum, he went east to Norfolk, Virginia for further study. I came back to Utah.

The staff at the James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center wants to make sure that every Veteran in its fourteen county coverage area gets a flu shot this year. The medical center and its community based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) have a schedule of flu shot clinics that will make it easy to get the vaccine. This schedule includes "drive-through" flu shot clinics at all locations. Veteran patients can also receive the vaccination at their primary care clinics at a regularly scheduled appointment or by walk-in (may be a wait for walk-ins).
The schedule of flu shot clinics includes:
Altoona VAMC
Drive through flu clinic October 12 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
State College
Drive through flu clinic October 5: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Drive through flu clinic September 28: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Drive through flu clinic October 19 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Veterans who are not enrolled for VA health care should bring proof of Veteran status such as a DD214.
The James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center has four locations and offers services to the more than 87,000 Veterans living in a 14 county area of Pennsylvania including Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson, Juniata, Mifflin, and Somerset. The medical center is a member of VA Healthcare – VISN 4.

Material: Watersnake, fabric
Brand: Kotur
Origin: Imported
Fiona Kotur makes brocades brilliant. Her evening clutches, day bags, and much-coveted minaudières were initially inspired by vintage European couture brocades from the 1960s and '70s. But her collection has since expanded to include chic pieces characterized by timeless designs and unexpected details like Mandarin locks, Art Deco references, and exotic skins — just one reason Kotur bags have become favorites of stars like Sienna Miller, Tilda Swinton, Drew Barrymore, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

'It is hard to recall a batsman quite so serene, so unrushed, so unflappable.' Chris Ryan on ... look to the left. Ahhhh.
Yeah you couldn't imagine a bloke like Pietersen lasting more than two seconds under a guy like Border.
As you referenced, that time with Craig McDermott, he turned a a bloke from a red headed fiery quick to a little grovelling bitch in 2 seconds. Imagine what he would've done with KP.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
As well as whether he and Swann can be in the same room together.
If Cook could actually sort this out into a reasonable conclusion though, then it isn't a bad way to start off your captaincy reign.
Also where the hell are all these leaks coming from? Don't think I've heard any solid evidence about anything on the issue for a while now.
Haha parody twitter account. Who gives a ****? Put on some pads and bat FFS.

Gonna just say very quietly that he's actually quite decent as far as studio analysts go. Good on the technical stuff, good insights, doesn't seem to fall on the platitudes 101.
So he's got his post-England career lined up already

Will have to be in the IPL, because I doubt it'll be in the Sky box...
Guess it depends on whether Sky or ECB hold sway over that, but it'd be strange for a guy who was such an outsider to the dressing room to wind up as part of the TV broadcast. Maybe with Boycs then, haha.
Nasser and Botham both seem to be firmly in Team KP anyway

The Artisan Series was similarly developed and is described as an "ever-changing line of innovative and ground-breaking produce" by the company.
The line offers a Chef's Collection of unconventional bite-sized tomatoes that includes Sakura Honey, Tomato Berry, Sun Gold, Black Cherry and Yellow Pear varieties.
Other products in the Artisan Series: Cherry tomatoes; Scarlet Pearls tomatoes; Farmhouse Heritage tomatoes; and Rosado tomatoes.
Pokomandy said the next scheduled products from JemD Farms are the Cocoa and Delicasee tomatoes.
Mastronardi Produce
In the last months of 2011, Mastronardi Produce of Leamington, Ontario, introduced snack packs of miniature tomatoes and seasonal soup kits because of consumer demands for convenience items in the fresh produce aisle.
The Compliments line includes mini sweet red tomatoes that Mastronardi's vice president of sales and marketing, Joe Sbrocchi, said are particularly popular with kids, and therefore moms, too.
Another top seller for Mastronardi is the Zima tomato, marketed under the company's Sunset brand and billed as "seriously sweet."
In November Mastronardi introduced the Delano tomato, which Sbrocchi said has a different sugar-to-acid ratio.
Pure Hot House Foods Inc.
The Chinese are celebrating the Year of the Dragon, but people at Pure Hot House Foods Inc. in Leamington, Ontario, are celebrating the year of growth in 2012, according to company officials.
Part of the growth is in the form of rebranding, which the company launched with prototype labels for its Pure Flavor brand at the Produce Marketing Association's Fresh Summit in October. Sandra Dick, assistant director of marketing, said the new brand will be used on new blends this spring.
Along with the Pure Flavor brand, Pure Hot House introduced sweet miniature tomatoes called Juno Bites in 2011 and Aurora Bites, which are specialty mini sweet peppers in tricolor assortments.
Other new products under the Pure Flavor brand are griller and roaster assortments of fresh-cut vegetables.
Dick said the company is offering them on a seasonal basis with the grillers designed for warm weather outdoor cooking and the roasters designed for indoor winter use.
Regardless of the season, the griller tray assortments, which include peppers, onions, mushrooms, asparagus, mini tomatoes and other fresh-cut vegetables, can be used in the microwave, even though they appear to be made of aluminum.
In keeping with the Pure Hot House commitment to sustainability, the trays are 100% recyclable.

Several Greek organizations and city officials were in attendance to commemorate the occasion.
Though the spectators were few, parade participants marched through downtown Cleveland, saying chants and waiving pictures of King.
The third Monday in January is used to honor this an iconic figure in the Civil Rights movement.
"It is a very significant day. We have been having this parade for about 15 years. I am very proud that the city of Cleveland was able to take part in the parade," said Cleveland Mayor Billy Nowell.
"It is a reminder for us to be able to look back and see how far we have come and how far we still need to go. We are and have made significant strides," he added.
King worked for equal rights for all and was well known for using non-violent resistance to prevail over injustices.
He aided in the desegregation of the United States and he prompted the idea of equality.
King is also greatly known for his ability to deliver powerful speeches.
His oratorical skill was a tool that King used to reach and rally members of the community.
"King did not fight for black, white, green or purple — he fought all races and colors. His struggle was not intended strictly for African Americans it was for justice for the entire human race," said Bolivar County NAACP President Jethro Henderson.
"He was one of our most prominent civil rights leaders. I try to keep the message of Dr. King strong and alive by trying to be a role model and set positive examples for younger generations," said Henderson
"Sometimes I try to do what I can do spread the message to our youth but it seems like I am fighting a hard battle," he said.
King once said, "Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."
Because of his work, in 1964 King received the Nobel Peace Prize — the youngest person ever to receive this high honor.
"I have been fighting for the people of Bolivar County but it is an uphill battle. Things have gotten a little better. Dr. King wanted us to come together and unite as one," said Henderson.
"We should love each other and continue working towards making the words of Dr. King a reality," Henderson continued.

It's been awhile since I've scrapped & I can't remember - What is considered a "GDS product"? I have TONS of stuff that I bought a couple years ago & was wondering if it's still considered GDS even though the designers have retired or left this site? Also, what if the designer is still here but the kit itself is retired? Is that still considered a GDS product?
I'm trying to do the challenges & for some of them I need a certain amount of GDS product so I'm trying to determine which kits I can still use. Any help is appreciated!

Ukraine | Near Chernobyl, the 'football forest' designed to radiate life
Pripyat, Ukraine | Twenty-two years ago, more than 1,000 buses commandeered from Kyiv rumbled north toward this company town to evacuate its 50,000 residents. By sunset on 27 Apr 1986, as Chernobyl reactor no. 4 burned, in one soldier's recollection, like a "beautiful blue fire," the town was empty.
Left behind in the silence: a newly built football stadium sitting just to the north of a bright yellow Ferris wheel, a gift from Soviet authorities in commemoration of the upcoming May Day holiday.
The atomograd ("atom city") along the River Pripyat has now sat deserted longer than it flourished. Construction began in 1970 for what would be a model high-rise community supporting the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Memorial Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station three miles distant. By 1986 it was, as the football stadium attests, still a settlement in process.
Football would never be played at the new stadium. Children, except for a test ride or two, would never queue up for the fairground attractions. The webmasters for pripyat.com—an interactive community of former Pripyat residents, a virtual city through which one can track down old neighbors and see landmarks in their present disrepair—include several views of Pripyat stadium, its pitch covered with 30- to 40-foot-high trees that have encroached on the model Soviet town. The photo caption refers to the tribunes placed in the grandstand, arrayed before a "football forest." One contributor in pripyat.com's forums, in helping a researcher put place names to such landmarks as the stadium and the grand Pripyat avenues, such as Prospekt of Enthusiasts, Street of Builders, Street of Heroes of Stalingrad and Street of Sports (Spor'tivnaya Vlitsa), writes:
There were two stadia in Pripyat. The older one … had a football pitch, asphalted running tracks and simple wooden benches around them. The new, more sophisticated one … was not officially opened. It was under construction when the city was evacuated. … The Park and the New Stadium were to be put into full operation on May 1, 1986. It was sort of a May Day present to the citizens on behalf of the state and city authorities.
According to this writer—and confirmed by principals from the period—Pripyat's building director, Vasily Kizima, advocated with Soviet authorities for a range of lifestyle and cultural comforts. His motto was, "The new stadium is as important as the new reactor." A football ground also existed behind the city's high school, goals now rusting in the wilds. Goals for indoor soccer remain in the sport complex at the town center, in which visitors occasionally have their pictures taken as goalkeepers, to limited comic effect. In addition to its cultural palace (DK Energetik), cinema, library, theater and 33,000 rose bushes, Pripyat provided its residents the best in Soviet-supplied leisure: 10 sporting halls, 10 rifle ranges, indoor swimming pool and three ponds for fishing.
"It was fantastic. It was a warm town, lots of trees, roses," Olesya Shovkoshitnayha, 32, tells National Geographic of her Pripyat upbringing. "We had sport classes. I played handball, swam, played checkers. We had music. I was in choir. I enjoyed my childhood."
Descriptions from visitors lured to this post-apocalyptic attraction suggest an experience combining elements of Volcanoes National Park in Hawai'i and Pompeii. Ecological tours started in 2002, despite the slight threat presented by 200 tons of nuclear fuel contained in the damaged Chernobyl reactor core and in radioactive "magma," shrouded provisionally by a rusty sarcophagus built after the accident. Now, all manner of voyeurism into a Soviet-era time capsule, via motorcycle, accompanied by a Pripyat poetess, through the blogging of an undergraduate ethicist, and mediated by the lenses of innumerable film and documentary producers (Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Nicky Larkin, Al-Jazeera and Russia Today), is possible online.
Even domestic opponents of nuclear power and those with greatest reason to be critical of the Soviet response to the disaster—such as novelist, former ambassador and environmental activist Iurii Shcherbak—confess to the morbid fascination that the disaster zone provides. "Like a gigantic magnet, it attracted me," Shcherbak writes in his magazine series "Chernobyl," published in Moscow in 1987, "it excited my imagination, it forced me to live in the Zone, its strange, twisted reality, to think only of the accident and its effects, of those struggling for their life in clinics, trying to tame the atomic genie in immediate proximity to the reactor."
The vision of irradiated grandstands at the Pripyat stadium and the knowledge that the radioactive dust in the trees and soil would prevent football from taking place there for many lifetimes contributes to the macabre scene. Who would have been contesting the International Labor Day matches in Pripyat? Amateur sides of Chernobyl workers, perhaps, but one can imagine that children already had snuck onto the grass surface for the odd kickabout. Statistics create a picture of a young Pripyat community, more prone to procreate than the rest of the USSR. The average age was 26. More than one thousand births took place each year. Of the population of 50,000, more than 15,000 were children.
This fact gave rise to some of the greatest anger after the powerful explosion ripped the roof off of reactor no. 4 early on the morning of 26 Apr 1986, a Saturday. Authorities decided that daily routines in the town should not vary; hence, "on that Saturday, a bright sunny day, there were soccer games in Pripyat," writes Felicity Barringer for the New York Times. "Women gardened. Children played in the sand. Weddings were held."
The invisible evils of cesium-131 and much longer enduring isotopes—400 times the radioactivity released at Hiroshima—rained onto the town and north into the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. Other than the 30 who died at the scene and from radiation sickness incurred on the day, children were the most vulnerable population in the short term. Since 1990, some 4,000 children and teenagers in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, while birth defects, miscarriages and other maladies have also spiked.
Shcherbak and others from the time recall a Kyiv almost without children in the aftermath of the accident. As winds shifted the radioactive plume to the south, directly over Ukraine's eternal city, panic resulted with people clogging train stations and bus depots, recalling the period of Nazi incursion in 1941. Children were sequestered indoors, parents advised to wash their children's hair daily, following the example of the persistent street and window washing—the city "washed and 'licked,' " in Shcherbak's words, "to an incredible cleanliness." Ultimately, a large proportion of the children, who had already started inventing radiation games or knocking down blocks and yelling, "Fourth Reactor!" were sent away from Kyiv—to relatives or to summer camps—until the fall. Writes Taras at Ukrainiana ("Chernobyl Is 22," Apr 26):
I remember those days quite vividly. It was sunny. It was summer-hot. My friends and I would play soccer. As rumors began to spread, my parents would ground me. I remember staring out the firmly sealed window, consumed with jealousy, watching my buddies playing out in the field. I stayed in Kyiv until May 8.
Football became both a potential threat and relief. In the chapter "End of the World" in György Dragomán's recently published novel The White King, the Chernobyl accident enters the narrative of 11-year-old Djata, a backup goalkeeper. The vignette helps illustrate the feeling of distrust concerning government directives following the disaster, when iodine was sometimes self-prescribed to personal harm and the belief circulated that red wine or vodka could counter radiation's effects:
And then the colonel said that last night there was an accident in an atomic power plant in the Great Soviet Union and that the wind brought the radioactivity here, and the fact of the matter was that the game shouldn't even be allowed to go ahead, but they didn't want people to panic, so it would be held after all, but he advised us goalies not to dive and to avoid contact with the ball because the ball picks up radioactivity from the grass, and anyway, we should watch out for ourselves because we were handsome, healthy little lads, and then he gave us each this white pill, saying we had to swallow it here and now. "It's just iodide," he said, "don't be scared," and only after we took the pills did I remember once seeing a movie about the Germans, about how they'd poisoned themselves with white pills like this, and maybe Comrade Colonel wanted to poison us too because he was sorry about telling us about the accident, and I could tell that Janika was thinking the same thing.
For some, such fears would beget a new psychosis, diagnosed as a "radiophobia" that, to the present, discourages women from having children and attributes any ailment to the Chernobyl fallout. Ukraine still has the lowest birth rates in Europe. Yet soccer did provide solace, as it had in the exploits of a reconstituted Dynamo Kyiv during World War II and would shortly after the 20th anniversary of Chernobyl in 2006—when Ukraine made its first appearance in the World Cup finals as an independent nation, advancing to the quarterfinals.
The Soviet Union's first match in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico took place on Jun 2. "The big talk now is soccer," one Kyiv resident told the New York Times's Serge Schmemann ("The Talk of Kiev," 31 May 1986). In its first match against Hungary—a 6–0 victory—the USSR featured nine members of Dynamo Kyiv, recent winners of the European Cup Winners' Cup. At the helm was legendary Kyiv manager Valeriy Lobanovskyi.
Post-Chernobyl football offered an easy escape to a time when the game proved an exemplar of Soviet success in science and other cultural fields. Robert Edelman in his study of Soviet spectator sport describes how communist ideology attached itself to football as an ideal representation of the resources available in a collective. Edelman quotes a Soviet specialist from the early 1950s, who says: "Soviet football serves the people, the task of communist education, and the improvement of the workers' health. Soviet football develops on the basis of the latest achievements of science."
The year of Pripyat's founding, Shcherbak had published what he calls a "grotesque-fantastic" story, "The Little Football Team," about a youth side that "looks like an illustration of the growth of humanity from the times of Malthus up to our days." Teammates cling "tight onto each other's hands, as if we are a living chain of generations." Shcherbak refers to the football fable in order to introduce one of the members of that child team, Maksym Ivanovych Drach, son of Ukrainian poet Ivan Drach. The elder Drach in 1974 had dedicated a cycle of poems to the builders of Chernobyl power station and of Pripyat, but, in Shcherbak's oral history, his son narrates his drafting as a sixth-year medical student in early May 1986 to support doctors in village hospitals surrounding Chernobyl.
Despite the risks, football has been played in the exclusion zone since the accident. The zone is now characterized as a nature preserve, supporting packs of wolves and feral horses along with a few hundred elderly residents and security and scientific workers who still commute to the Chernobyl site. Jonathan Wilson mentions a 1986 exhibition in Chernobyl that attracted the participation of one of the USSR's great players, Eduard Streltsov. Cryptically, Streltsov is said to have been exposed to radiation at various gulag camps following what may have been trumped-up rape charges in 1958. After a successful comeback, interspersed with periods of heavy smoking and drinking, he died of throat cancer in 1990. Soviet-era football authority Axel Vartanyan says the Chernobyl game "pushed him over the edge." The meaning of the statement, however, is unclear.
Showing the devil-may-care attitude that is the flip side of Chernobyl-era phobias, at least one soldier, in an oral history by Svetlana Alexievich, readily admits the temptations to which guards posted to the vacant exclusion zone (or "zone of alienation"), overwrought by edginess and ennui, succumbed:
You start going crazy! Those first few days we were afraid to sit on the ground, on the grass; we didn't walk anywhere, we ran; if a car passed us, we'd put on a gas mask right away for the dust. After our shifts we'd sit in the tents. Ha! After a few months, it all seemed normal. It was just where you lived. We tore plums off the trees, caught fish, the pike there is incredible. And breams—we dried them to eat with beer. People probably told you about this already? We played football. We went swimming! Ha. [Laughs again.] We believed in fate, at bottom we're all fatalists, not pharmacists.
The few hopeful images from the documentary project of Robert Knoth are of footballers in Narodichi, a network of villages 60 miles west of Chernobyl. Authorities in 1989 encouraged five of the villages in this area to resettle, given a lowering of the lifetime recommended radiation allowance. Some left. Some stayed. The ones who remained are provided meager food subsidies and told to reject locally grown produce.
Everything in Knoth's pictures is not as it appears. Knoth witnesses an amateur district final that, despite the air of normalcy and engaged supporters, has more somber overtones in this territory of impoverishment and absence. Knoth recalls via e-mail that "the scene itself was typical Eastern Europe: lots of food and alcohol, resulting in men getting into fights and all that … it wasn't that cheerful."
Worldwide charitable networks, including clubs such as Arsenal, which facilitates football instruction in Cherginov, east of Chernobyl, have helped lead the response to the needs of children and the environment. An international consortium has financed a $505 million, 20,000-ton steel arch to enclose the deteriorating enclosure at reactor no. 4.
Yet the wind stirs trees at Pripyat stadium with no one as witness. Similarly, Knoth chooses an iconic image of bedridden Belorussian Chernobyl victim Anna Pesenko, 18, who has suffered with brain tumors since 1994, as the entry image for his ongoing exhibition of Chernobyl pictures. These are all forgotten places and people.

- The blog Darkness at Noon reports on a Jul 08 trip to the exclusion zone, including video, and comments on the resilience of the natural world, particularly in Pripyat:
I was prepared to encounter a place permanently suspended in a deathly state. I pictured some sort of post-apocalyptic world where life had been scoured from all surfaces, rooted out from all nooks and crannies; I pictured a world that had faded and turned grayish brown, like a long-forgotten film that has been discovered after years collecting dust.
What I found, much to my surprise, was a place characterized by abundant life.
- Ukraine Minister of Extraordinary Situations Volodymyr Shandra says that the ministry would recommend that parliament remove 332 inhabited areas from a list of contaminated zones ("A Yellow-and-Blue Bird with Chernobyl Mark," Zerkalo nedeli, Apr 26). But he concludes that the scar would remain for some time.
The scientists calculated that ten half-life periods of plutonium (about 240 thousand years) are necessary in order to decontaminate the territory of the Chernobyl zone. The Chernobyl mark on the bird-Ukraine is like a birthmark. It can be a lifelong yoke or it can be one of those marks that distinguish us among others and make others love us.

TELANDER: Bears coach Lovie Smith doesn't know 'O'
BY RICK TELANDER email@example.com December 18, 2012 9:10PM

Updated: January 20, 2013 6:32AM
I think I went over the simple rules about coaching respect in a recent column. To wit: We love you when you win, we hate you when you lose.
The end.
So with the Bears having lost five of their last six games and scrambling to make the once-assured playoffs, coach Lovie Smith isn't much-loved. That's an axiom.
But what, besides the losses, is it that is soiling Smith's legacy in this town? Besides the losses, what is it about him that infuriates us the most (and this one time we won't count the drained-of-all-plasma sideline stare)?
It is this: Smith doesn't know offense.
He might know defense. Well, at least he might know his punch-and-rip-at-the-ball, attacking cover-2 defense, essentially the same one he used more than a decade ago as the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator.
But offense?
Smith doesn't call the plays. He has had three offensive coordinators — Ron Turner, Mike Martz and Mike Tice — in the last four seasons. He has had four quarterbacks coaches since 2006. He recently has had good offensive players brought in or re-signed — quarterback Jay Cutler, receiver Brandon Marshall and running back Matt Forte — but the offense only has become worse.
Facts: In his nine seasons at the helm, Smith has had offenses that ranked 32nd, 29th, 15th, 27th, 26th, 23rd, 30th, 24th and, currently, 29th in total yards in a 32-team league.
That comes to an average of 26th. That would be an F on any report card. When sustained for nearly a decade, it would be grounds to have a student flunked from school and steered into something such as ditch-digging.
Oh, did you notice that No. 15 ranking in Smith's third season, 2006? Did that — gasp! — almost make you sit down and ask for oxygen? Well, that was the Super Bowl season, a season that earned Smith the rest of these years.
In 2006, Rex Grossman passed for more than 3,000 yards, Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson ran for a combined 1,857 yards and 12 touchdowns and Muhsin Muhammad, Bernard Berrian and Desmond Clark caught passes for 2,264 yards and 17 touchdowns.
How it happened, we don't know. But it hasn't been repeated. And as the trend in the NFL continues toward high-octane offenses led by star quarterbacks such as Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers, the Bears have devolved into an offensive machine more resembling a Model-T — or, perhaps more distinctly, a ''funny car'' that can't make it halfway up the track before flailing across the lanes, over the fence and into a cornfield.
The Bears' loss Sunday to the Green Bay Packers was one of the saddest displays of the offense's ineptitude so far. The offensive line isn't very good — we know that — but you might have thought the blockers were on loan from a doughnut shop for all the movement they created and protection they provided. Yet Cutler spent most of his time making faces of disgust toward any and all, as though he was surprised by their lack of skill. In Game 14!
Then there were the wrong routes run by receivers, the bad passes by Cutler (even his snidest scowls couldn't hide some of his mistakes), only 12 first downs and 190 net yards. This was against a banged-up Packers team playing on a hostile field.
Through it all, Smith stared.
No matter, though, because what's missing isn't hellfire and brimstone but an intuitive knowledge about how a complex pro offense works and an understanding about how to make it work in tough conditions.
There always is a trickle-down effect from the coach. Many coaches are offensive experts, and they need to pay a lot of attention to their teams' defense or have a masterful coordinator taking that task away from them.
Smith can't pretend to care deeply about that which he does not. The Bears and offense just don't seem to go together. Maybe it's history. Maybe it's heritage.
What the Bears have shown during Smith's tenure is that they can beat average and below-average teams consistently. But when they need three-touchdown quarters, 400-yard passing games, one-minute drills or swift attacks that overwhelm, they're just not there.
And under Smith, they never will be.

Everywhere you look, high above the hawks riding the air currents, you see green forest, the blue curves of the river, and the primeval splendor of a

Take the Private Places Tour of Cà d'Zan.

Go to a spring training game. I'm not a baseball fan, but even I can get into the spirit of the game on a balmy March day at cozy Ed Smith Stadium. People relax in the sunshine, chat about the season past and upcoming, and get closer to the players than they possibly could up North. Our contributing editor (and baseball fanatic) David Grimes explains the allure of spring training this way: "Often the game itself is an afterthought. What matters is the green field, the blue sky and the sight of grown men hitting, throwing and catching a ball. Baseball is back and hope springs eternal. If you don't believe it, just asks Cubs fans."

As usual, they'll be stronger than Dish Network's. The lack of PAC-12 will have very little impact, if any at all. Consider how many customers out of 20 million might be true PAC-12 fans, then consider how many of those people are under a commitment, and finally consider how many of those folks would pay an ETF for this or are out of contract and would leave. The pool of potential defectors just keeps getting smaller. Some churn occurs when a major network is dropped. This may not even register.
Maybe with the people who really don't care for Pac12, but for me along with quite a few people on the west coast or those with PAC12 affiliation, this is a big deal.. I keep reading how people are impressed with the Hopper as well.
But just like people are leaving Directv for Pac12, others are leaving Dish because of AMC.. Instead of speculating, I think it would be interesting to see the 3rd quarter results.. To answer your point about cancel fees, I did the math.. I can easily pay for the 1 year left within 3 months of new contract with DISH. I'm sure you're right that PAC12 doesn't resonate with all 20 million subs, but the West coast is big enough for a sizable dent of defectors.
BTW, I'm not jumping ship yet, but I do keep thinking about it.. I wonder how much longer it takes me to finally persuade the family to take a different direction.

The first step in selling a $600,000 home of 3,500 square feet on eight acres in rural Millbrook?
Turning on all the lights.
"I've been a Realtor for 27 years," said Cindy Heckelsberg, as she flitted about flipping light switches, fluffing pillows and hiding power cords out of site in the spacious but cozy home that stands at the far western edge of what could be called Chicagoland. "My mother was a real estate agent when I was growing up in Terre Haute, all but one of my children are in real estate."
Her 3-year-old granddaughter, she said, knows how to show off a home's foyer and front-loading washer-dryer set.
Last week, Heckelsberg was handling what she called "one of the less glamorous parts" of her job — marketing. She and a photographer primped and took photos and 360-degree views of homes in Millbrook about to hit the market.
Heckelsberg is optimistic about selling this house, which was custom-built five years ago in the small community along the Fox River west of Yorkville.
"This house has land," said Heckelsberg, looking out the picture windows onto the eight acres and pond. "You never can find a house with enough land. Someone will buy this looking for a resort home. It's a lifestyle."
For something a little more modest, however, selling is a bit trickier.
In another part of Millbrook, an empty home on Wilcox Court is one of six on the street with a real estate agent's sign in the yard. Another on the cul-de-sac was recently purchased in a distress sale — an agent's general term for homes sold through short sales or lost through foreclosure.
"A lot of my job has been counseling people through short sales," said Heckelsberg. "It's like we've had to relearn how everything works. It's all different."
Uneven growth
The housing market, economists insist, is starting to turn around across the country. But that return has been unsteady and uneven, not just between states and major markets — Illinois had the third-highest foreclosure rate in the country behind Florida and Nevada, according to RealtyTrac — but within major markets, too. The ZIP code next door often has a much different story to tell about distress and recovery.
Home values in Oswego, for instance, remain some of the most depressed post-recession in the Fox Valley, with prices, average $182,300, or about 5.9 percent lower than in October 2011. In Aurora's near East Side 60505 ZIP, the average home price is just $78,000, but home prices have fallen less over the past year, by 3.9 percent.
By comparison, in southeast Naperville's 60565 ZIP code, home prices are up 4.8 percent over last year, averaging $323,400.
Kendall County was hit harder than most in the housing bubble and subsequent free fall in housing prices. One in just 135 homes faced foreclosure filings in September, bestowing Kendall County with the unenviable title of highest foreclosure rate in the country. Things improved in October — to one in 170 homes — but prices remain low, and homeowners remain stuck.
In Kane County, homeowners have fared only slightly better. In October, one in 216 homes faced foreclosure, with the highest rates recorded in the Elgin area.
Fast growth, quick fall
But, some experts say, this winter and the following spring home-buying season are looking bright for the Fox Valley.
"It seems like, at this point, there are a lot of good signs locally," said Dave Richert, president-elect of the Realtor Association of the Fox Valley. "People are starting to realize where the market really is. It's kind of like a reset of everything."
As in many U.S. cities, home prices in Oswego hit an all-time high in 2006 — in September of that year the average Oswego home cost $276,000. In October of this year, the average home price had fallen 34 percent, to $183,000, leaving many of the village's newer, younger residents completely underwater in their mortgages.
Housing expert Geoff Smith, of the Institute for Housing Studies at DePaul University, said it was not surprising that the fastest growers had the most to lose when the markets tumbled.
"From my sense of the Chicago area and foreclosure patterns in the ex-urban parts of the Chicago region, there are higher levels of foreclosure activity because of new developments built right before the housing crash," Smith said. "Higher foreclosure rates are largely tied to new developments that didn't quite take."
Those homeowners who purchased when prices were at their highest were hit hardest when the recession resulted in a job loss. They were hit doubly hard when an unfinished development, with empty homes and unfinished streets and infrastructure, further lowered their home values, leaving them stuck.
Further compounding their problems, Smith said, is the slow pace at which foreclosures are processed in Illinois, which has a judicial foreclosure process, that can drag out the time between when a homeowner starts faltering on payments to when the house is ultimately foreclosed upon and ends up back on the market.
"In Illinois, that inventory of distressed properties is more ambiguous," Smith said. "That creates uncertainty in the market and keeps prices lower, because if you're a buyer, you still don't know if we've hit the bottom."
Building again
The big homes, the lifestyle homes are selling, Heckelsberg said. But so are starter homes. Investors are flipping again, and young people are venturing into homeownership again.
"A lot of young people, they're not stuck," she said. "Maybe they've been renting, or living at home with their parents, and they have a little saved."
Smaller homes are also being snatched up by investors and turned into rentals, which are in high demand as credit tightens up at banks and many former homeowners are afraid of getting burned again.
"The competition is high for rentals," said Richert, who said that rental prices are going up in comparison to monthly mortgage payments. "You can buy a house for $100,000 in really good condition in Aurora, and have a mortgage under $1,000. That same house to rent is going to be $1,000 or maybe much higher."
It's those homes in the middle, say experts, that face the biggest challenges for sellers.
"In this market, there has to be some kind of draw to the home, there has to be something different," said Richert. "Subdivisions built all the same without a lot of differences in character all in a row, that things built in 2002 to 2007, those places still struggle because there's five homes for sale in the subdivision and they all look the same. At that point, the only pull is price, and it forces everyone to compete and low-ball each other."
Once flat, now rising
But for those "stuck" new homeowners with a view of an unbuilt, weed-covered lot next door, there's hope on the horizon, insist the experts.
"We did have a lot of price reductions in our two Oswego communities in 2006 to about a year ago," said Ray Blankenship, Chicago area vice president of K. Hovnanian Homes, which owns Churchill Club and Hunt Club in Oswego. "About a year ago, things started to flatten out, and now in the last year we've even seen a little bit of price increases. They have been selling very well."
In the first week of October, K. Hovnanian pulled about two-dozen permits to build in Oswego, only a couple of which are being built on speculation. Forty-eight permits, almost all for single family homes in half-finished developments, were pulled that week alone in the village.
"I think it's gotten a little better in the last year in general," said Blankenship.
Kendall County may still be experiencing a distressed housing market, but it still has a lot to offer, he said.
"It's still relatively close to popular western suburbs, especially Naperville, just a few miles down the road. Oswego has had a lot of its own development, with shopping and restaurants opening in the last few years, which I think makes the area a really nice little development on the river."
Smith also said that he expects 2013 to bring some relief, but he believes a full recovery for the Chicago region will take another three to five years.
"In parts of Chicago and the suburbs that are really hard hit, it may take much longer to recover, but hopefully, in aggregate, things will stabilize and recover in the next few years," Smith said.
Heckelsburg, as she straightened bed covers and flipped light switches, carried a real estate agent's characteristic optimism.
"We're beginning to see competition for homes and multiple offers again. There's a buyer at every price point," she said. "Train loads of lumber are moving again, and that lumber is going somewhere."

Mother allegedly leaves her 2-year-old son unattended; she's arrested on drug charges
Nov 13, 2012 | 25 Comments
News-Register Staff
A McMinnville woman, whose 2-year-old son was found unattended and outside the residence where she was living, was arrested Monday afternoon by McMinnville police.
Sgt. Tim Symons identified her as Hope Ashley Clark, 25, of 201 S.W. Agee St., No. 14. She was charged with one count each of second-degree child neglect, endangering the welfare of a minor and frequenting a place where a controlled substance is used, in addition to two counts of possession of a controlled substance/heroin and methamphetamine. Additional charges are pending.
Clark was lodged in the Yamhill County Jail on $22,500 bail pending her arraignment at 1:20 p.m. today in circuit court.
Symons gave this account:
Officers responded about 1 p.m. to the residence and learned the toddler had been outside and unattended for about one hour. They reported that Clark was located sleeping in her apartment, and did not know where her son was.
Several tenants told police that this was not an isolated incident. They reported the child had been left outside and unattended several times during the past few months.
A search of the apartment turned up marijuana, meth, suspected heroin and drug paraphernalia. The drugs were within easy reach of the toddler who was placed in the custody of a relative by the state Department of Human Services.
Anyone with information about Clark's recent activity as it's related to this case is asked to call officer Jared Wiebold at 503-434-7307. He can also be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Could a thoughtful person really look at her and the millions like her and say "it's not big deal...its just marijuana"
We should never give up on Hope or others in her situation. We should do all we can to help. There is still "Hope" for her...
It's definitely going to shake things up. Just exactly what we need. New policies because the old ones are not working. The insurance racket is going to have to figure some things out as well.
Ask an old timer from the greatest generation if they ever thought they would live to see the day that gay marriage would be legalized and you would be consider evil if you dared to say marriage should be between a man and a woman.
It's always one gentle step after another and another and another...Better to just stay firmly rooted at the top of the stairwell.
And those that want to allow drugs to be used on the streets, purchased in special stores...this might be what you have coming your way in a few years.
What it really comes down to in my opinion is resonsability of majority. Is the majority of those using something gone to cause harm to others or themselves and how does that conflict with the freedoms that the constitution allows, or does it?
Thus we might apply laws such as legal limit, or can't drive under influence (something even prescription drugs) are regulated with..(Pack )..
Would YOU want someone who is HIGHT on MARIJUANA to CARE for YOUR child?
If it's leagl, there is somewhat of a "defense" yet marijuana, "natural" or not, does impair you, as a parent, a driver, a worker, a child-care or elder-care provider - in every aspect of your life.
This woman is an example of how drugs affect your ability to do the things that should be common sense - like making sure a 2-year old BABY is being cared for properly.
I'm not for the use of pot and I certainly think this parent has a lot to think about in how much she cares about her child.
Any drug - marijuana, alcohol, etc - is selfish in nature and makes the user make poor decisions - and she has an addiction. While ya'll are busy bashing Hope with her poor decisions and her addiction, think about the fact that this "baby' ya'll care so much about may read this thread years from now and see the horrible things you are calling his mother. It's a public forum - have some decency.
Talk about the drugs - the ballots - politics - the damage it causes families - but unless you know this woman and her family please do not pass judgement on her on a public forum. Yes, she was arrested. I know her well enough to know this may be a wake up call that she needed - and that she has a family that gives a damn about her and will be here with her through this to get her strong again.
You guys are like vultures - eager to sit here and point fingers while you are anonymous on the site and have probably had HORRIBLE things happen at one time or another in your past. You are raising your hands to throw stones at someone who is damaged - while you're probably no better than she.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. (Those of you who HAVE made comments about her)
Look in the mirror. No - you probably haven't had drugs in your house - or left your child outside unattended - but I'm sure you've done things you are ashamed of, because you are HUMAN.
If you give a damn about "the baby" - stop bashing his mother. It is called COMMON DECENCY.
Did i say it was NOOOO, i said now that it is legal, that will be used as a defense, just like prescription drugs ---- I can just hear the stupid idiot when they get caught neglecting their kids or driving a car, or working a dangerous job....
but, but, it's legal! I didn't know it would be that bad, I had no idea it would turn me into an idiot, i mean, you can buy it at the store! c'mon, is anybody with me here?
....I don't care what your opinion is on the subject, this is MY opinion and I'm entitled to it as much as you are to yours!
If you don't want to be looked at. Don't put youself in a positions to have that happen.
I tell my son, if you don't want to have to explane, you better not do it....
For what it's worth, I think this article has more intent than to expose Hope...
for example one could argue. taking drugs makes one tired and not able to care for child. however one could also argue it wasn't the drug, but the choice to take them. see the difference?
I've ran across a lot of addicts in my time and usually when you give them a list what they value, they almost always pick family and yet their choice to use puts that at risk. so .. that means they value use the most. that is reality..
the hard part in my opinion is getting them to see that and not enabling them. there are plenty of programs.
woukld be one I would suggest.
I have family myself I have choosen to put aside because their choices and actions from them are not very cool. I would much rather have a relationship with them but I can't tollerate the sideshow that comes with their habbits. I can only hope that someday we can all be together again. Get this, neither one of them smoke pot...

Hey there,
I'm visiting from Germany at MIT till beginning of September and I'm searching for a used Dirt Bike I can use for riding around in the city and work on my biking techniques. I brought my Trek Slash 8 with me from Germany but that's definitely not for this purpose.
The Bike should be 26" and good for my 5,9 ft.
Doesn't have to be anything special or fancy as I can't spent much for it (max. 400 $).
Thx and Cheers

Iftikhar Chaudhry Welcomed in US
November 26, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
NEW YORK, Nov 17: Deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry received a standing ovation from a huge crowd of Pakistani-Americans in Brooklyn (New York) on Sunday evening.
Justice Iftikhar who has come to the United States to receive awards from New York Bar Association and Harvard Law School did not address the crowd.
Former President of the Supreme Court Bar Association Aitzaz Ahsan said in his speech that in order to make Pakistan truly independent and honourable nation restoration of the deposed chief justice was a pre-requisite.
"He is a symbol of independent judiciary which all Pakistanis want," he said.
The meeting was organised by Pakistani-American lawyers led by Ramzan Rana.
The organisers repeatedly appealed to the audience not to raise political slogans. However, slogans were raised against President Asif Zardari's position on the restoration of judges.
At one stage, some people repeatedly called for Mr Ahsan's resignation from the PPP.
After ignoring them for some time, Mr Ahsan shot back, "I will not resign from PPP. I'm the Pakistan People's Party!"
He said Justice Iftikhar had maintained judicial restraint and never responded to criticism from some politicians or to opinions expressed in television talk shows.
He said Justice Iftikhar's restoration was all the more important because if it was not done there would never be an independent judiciary in the country.
Mr Ahsan said Pakistan's top political leaders, Asif Ali Zardari, Mian Nawaz Sharif, Asfandyar Wali and Maulana Fazlur Rehman, had made written and oral commitments with the nation to restore all deposed judges, but so far that promise had not been fulfilled.
Earlier Justice Chaudhry was received at JFK by a large crowd of Pakistani American Attorneys, Political activists and members of civil society.
