The Vegan Empire
"Ashon'Ta, no vella
-Standard Vegan greeting to off-worlders
The Vegan Empire...the name itself sparks a sense of mystery and intellect to those who hear it. The Empire is rightfully feared by outer colonists, for their rapid expanse into RUSN territory has been for but one purpose throughout the Omega War: elimination. Few know why, but it is believed that part of it is due to the galactic-wide broadcast they sent throughout RUSN territory during the beginnings of the Omega War. As a result, they immediately caught our attention
"Ashon'Ta no vella, lesser races. You are barbarians. Barbarians are needed to be purged. It is the Will of the Gods. The universe will not weep at your passing."
The Vegan Empire's beginnings can barely be traced back, but what is known is that before life ever evolved on Vegari Prima, their home planet, their world was a gas giant. Somehow, by means not even known to the Vegans, their world was moved from its orbit closer to its star, and its outer layer of atmosphere suddenly became denser to the point where it created a solid, thick crust; trapping most of the volatile gasses within. The atmosphere became very diverse, and the planet's water supplies began to form within great aquifers throughout the crust. Geysers of gas began to form, occasionally causing earthquakes and allowing a world suitable for life to be forged. Vegari Prima was born.
The life forms on Vegari Prima were believed to be seeded, for without direct surface water the forging of living creatures would have been difficult. The early Vegans were cave dwellers; evolved from mollusk-like life forms, the Vegans arrived upon the surface and took advantage of the world's lack of competition and began to spread. As they evolved, a tribe-like people, the early Vegans, had evolved on the surface; using fungus-like growths on the world to act as shelters against the deadly winds and methane storms on the world. These same growths acted as their only source of food and water besides the more diverse life forms in the tremendous aquifers and surface caverns nearby.
All this changed when the Precursors arrived.
The Precursors were a roving race. They were ancient; technologically and biologically advanced creatures whose empire existed beyond the known stars. It is unknown whether or not they were native to the galaxy, but what is known especially to the RUSN is that the Precursors left behind artifacts on the worlds that they visited, suggesting that they seeded much of the life throughout the galaxy besides planets like Earth and Org'heren. These artifacts appear to be ruins, suggesting that they once held an empire in the galaxy but chose to leave their empire either in favor of a nomadic lifestyle or because of an economic, social, or even military collapse; resulting in the destruction of their former society.
When they arrived on Vegari Prima, they discovered the early Vegans. They had almost become extinct due to a lack of resources; without an organized society, the idea of agriculture was never introduced, and so the cultivation of the fungal growths that was their staple food was never integrated resulting in less and less food for populations. Migration was the only means of finding food, and whenever they did migrate they encountered other Vegans, leading to war via competition. The Vegan race was on the verge of extinction before their great empire had even begun, and thanks to the Precursors such extinction wasn't to occur.
The Precursors, who the Vegans referred to as the Wandering Gods, sought out the Vegans for their powerful psykic abilities. Evolved out of a need to survive in a world where fire could never exist, and where the world's gravity could crush anyone not adapted to survive under its great pressure, the Vegans used it as a means to help structure homes and prevent cave-ins, as well as a form of advanced sight which allowed them to see in the dark without needing an external source of light. The Precursors immediately saw potential in this race, and without the patience to wait until they evolved they began to teach the Vegans to develop new technology and a means to properly hone their powerful but raw psykic powers.
In time, the Precursors remained with the Vegan race and soon began to integrate their own society upon them. The fluid design of the Precursors' buildings and war ships astounded the Vegans, and when they learned how to build their own structures using psykic powers they took on a similar design; almost an organic feel. Through the use of Warp, a type of psykic ability that allowed the Psyker in question to take certain elements and restructure them into a form and element that they saw fit, the Vegans were able to build great towering spires and beautiful cities made of blue and gold material, which reflected the silver and aqua spires of the Precursor race.
Over time, however, as the Vegan society continued to evolve, the Precursors began to fade. Soon there came a day when the Wandering Gods disappeared entirely; leaving only their spiring cities which remained empty and untouched out of sacred devotion to their progenitors. Nevertheless, after the Precursors left, the Vegans advanced to the point where they became an absolutely majestic and peaceful society. The beginnings of the Vegan Empire were born.
For the next several thousands of years, the Vegans remained comfortably on Vegari Prima. Agricultural machines allowed for the distribution of the fungi spores that they called food throughout the world, and the use of livestock allowed many of the creatures found within the aquifers of their home to be used as food and for goods. Some Vegans even became hunters; the earliest Arbiters; and dove into the great depths and caves for weeks at a time in order to hunt the great Serpent Beasts of the underground, never once returning until a trophy of sorts was in their grasp.
Eventually, however, the Vegan race desired to follow their gods to whatever realm they had departed to, and so began to find a means to enter into space. However, save for developing the limited ability of teleportation through Psykic power, there was no means to be able to get off of the gas giant that was their home. No fire meant no explosives, which meant the energy that could be harnessed and used to propel their people off of their world could never be grasped. In time, it was almost considered hopeless to ever leave their world until an advanced form of teleportation was discovered and utilized by ever-vigilant priests and scientists led to the creation of powerful teleportation gates that could lead from one world to another. Satellites were launched into Vegan space through this method, and attempts to gain access to the other worlds of Vegari became underway.
Vegan contact with the first of the two other indigenous peoples of Vegari was quick, and proved just how barbaric the races outside of their realm could truly be. The Koraki were a race of badger-like mammals that stood upon their hind legs, had shaggy fur, and were brimming with muscle all across their short frames. Their kind had advanced up to the point of discovering rockets, and had nowhere near the technology equivalent of the Vegans. Finding them on their homeworld of Vegari XI was a shock at best, for little was known of how much life existed in their solar system save for the fact that Vegari Prima was inhabited despite its tremendous size. The Koraki reacted violently, using weaponry that proved devastating for the Vegans as violent rockets and flamethrowers were used against the Vegan people. As a response to this retaliation, the Vegans declared war upon the Koraki race, and the Koraki War began.
The war itself lasted for about 500 years. The reason for this was simple; while the Vegans were technologically superior to the Koraki, their technology was used in times of peace and they had little knowledge for the concept of war. The first of their troops were indeed their hunters, who had formed themselves into a sect of honor known as the Order of Arbitration. They became the first Arbiters, and they equipped themselves with their modified hunting tools and went to wage war against the Koraki on their world.
The use of Koraki flamethrowers and long-range missile fire proved to be almost too much for the Arbiters to handle. The Vegans responded by converting their drones to fire more lethal weaponry. The method in which these drones could build and repair buildings and vehicles for the Vegans was through modified electricity which was refined to the point where it fired very refined bolts in a single beam of power; the voltage remained the same as normal electricity, but the energy pulse was reversed to ensure that a spark would not form in Vegari Prime's atmosphere. When modified, the lightning bolt was powerful enough to fry a single target easily. The ranged weapon allowed for new troops, and soon the drones and walker robots joined the Vegans in battle.
The Koraki War ended thanks to these modified pieces of technology alongside the vigilance of the Arbiters. The Koraki surrendered unconditionally, and in return the Vegans allowed them to live as part of their empire so long as they agreed not to use any more of the "barbarian technologies" such as flamethrowers and rockets that the Vegans despised. In return, they were allowed to keep their homeworld's name; Koraki; in honor of those of their number who had fallen in the war. Through their experience with the Koraki, the Vegans then proceeded to focus upon their military, and soon enough they had their own flying machines and warrior drones inspired by the jet fighters and rockets of the Koraki.
When life was discovered on the volcanic world of Vegari II, the Vegans were ready for them. They arrived upon the world; a shield was used to protect their teleporter as the release of excess gas from Vegari Prima's atmosphere after the teleportation process was often lethal when exposed to fire; and soon their military forces branched out and prepared for hostile encounter. They found it in the form of the Helions; an insect-like race born of the fires of Vegari II. Like the Vegans, they were Psykics, though nowhere near as powerful and developed in a way far different than that of the Vegans. Through their powerful technology and their strange walker robots, discovered to contain the recovered bodies of Helions too injured to be properly healed, the Helions drove the Vegans and their Koraki allies back, forcing a new strategy upon the Vegans.
Psykics soon joined the battle, and soon it was a Psykic war unlike anything the Vegans ever encountered. The Vegans were discovered to be capable of melding their minds together into one body to create a super-Psyker known as an Avatar, which was capable of using the power of the elements to grant it aid. While these Avatars were a distinct advantage over the Vegan use of pyskic power, the Vegans eventually won the war through their sheer numbers and their strategy of honor and total victory over death.
The Helions surrendered indefinitely and agreed to use technology that would not rely upon the fires of their homeworld and therefore be considered barbaric. They were also to never again create Avatars unless there came a dire need. In return, they were granted the name Helion for their homeworld, and were allowed to permanently join the Vegan Empire.
For many thousands of years the Vegan Empire would enter a reign of peace and prosperity, though the conditions on the seven planets of Vegari were cramped and the desire for true space exploration was greater than ever. It wasn't until roughly 1000 A.D. on Earth, however, that they finally discovered a means to enter space. Tremendous teleportation gates were constructed to allow for ships built on the ground to enter the vast regions of space. Through the use of heavily modified and contained plasma generators the Vegans could maneuver their ships through space, and the creation of powerful energy shields around themselves and their war ships allowed them to survive in environments physically hostile to them. The Koraki and Helion governments were allowed access to this technology, and they in turn created their own ships of similar design. Through the use of the Teleportation Matrix; formed when a single Vegan Psykic, known as Primarchs, bonded themselves to their capital ships body and soul and used their psykic power to open great portals that spanned across large distances of the galaxy, the Vegans very swiftly began a galactic-wide expansion so swift that it seemed to happen in a blink of an eye to their society. In as little as a millennia, the Vegan Empire stretched across over a hundred worlds, and by the time the RUSN came into power they already had control over much of the southern piece of the galaxy.
When the Vegans first saw humanity, they watched them closely. The RUSN was the first race that they had seen that managed to create a tremendous empire as large as their own in the galaxy. They watched mankind's wars and soon learned that they were little more than barbarians, using barbarian technology to the point where their entire society thrived around it. This could not be allowed, and many of the Vegans agreed that something had to be done. By the time the Orghren Raiders, a race hell-bent upon destruction of the galaxy by fire, arrived and struck a blow against the RUSN, while the Tyraks began to expand their territory across the borders of RUSN Space and swarm over them all, the Vegans had already made up their minds. The Templars, their holy leaders, decreed that humanity and the rest of the barbarians of the galaxy were to be eliminated completely; their existence wiped clean, and their worlds turned into clean slates for new life.
Thus the Omega War had begun

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot… And Thankful
Despite the recent heat and humidity, we're happy to be tackling a ton of sweat-inducing projects here on the homefront. And we're also happy to have such wonderful supporters of our little place in the blogosphere. So we'd like to take a moment to toss out a heartfelt "thanks" to all of you lovely folks for reading as well as send some serious appreciation out to our awesome sponsors in this monthly shout-out post (after all, they make the other 40+ posts that we write each month possible). So feel free to take a peek at all they've got to offer… along with a few exclusive YHL discounts for you guys to cash in on.
Name Your Design may ring a bell since they hosted a fun giveaway last summer. And to celebrate their grand re-opening they've added items like custom growth charts and coasters to their repertoire of modern personalized artwork. Don't forget to enter the code "freeship" to get (surprise) free shipping through August.
Saffron Marigold is another name you may recall, most likely from the gorgeous hand-printed linens that they gave away just last month. Whether you're in the market for a meticulously designed tablecloth or an intricate bedspread, they're an authentic source for luxurious Indian linen.
Design for Less (aka: The Glass Mosaic Outlet or The Natural Stone Outlet) has updated their site- so if you haven't dropped by recently it's definitely worth a trip. Be sure to find your way to their inspiration galleries, videos, and blog for even more glass, metal, and stone tile to drool over. Oh, and feel free to catch a discount on their daily deal.
Z Gallerie is one of our go-to spots to shop for chic but affordable home accessories. Their new Graham Slipcover collection continues this week's theme of lounging around since it looks incredibly comfortable without sacrificing an ounce of style. And when it comes to casual and easy living, you really can't beat slipcovers.
The Tile Shop is obviously a great source for tiling tools, tips, and of course tile. And when we clicked the word "recycled" while recently on their site, it took us to a page of gorgeous glass mosaics that we drooled over for longer than we care to admit. And yes, you can still score 10% off when you use the code YHL10.
Shades of Light may sound like it's just a spot for pendants, sconces, fixtures, and lampshades. But as you can clearly see from their stunning catalog covers below (which you can browse online or get delivered to your door) they're far more. Furniture, mirrors and rugs abound. So feel free to take a look-see, even if you're all set in the lighting department.
Heart & Stone represents the work of Julie Booras who handcrafts custom silver jewelry using recycled materials with a specialty in meaningful charm necklaces. And not only can you get 10% off with the code YHL10, many of the gemstone drops are on sale through today only!
Vol. 25 designs graphics and prints that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Which is why for this month I just "borrowed" the header from her Etsy page to pass that feeling on to you (even if it meant not showing my favorite robot lovebirds print). Btw, the phrase below also comes as a print in her shop. Oh happy day.
Smock Paper is another "green" sponsor in that they are a sustainably printed source for beautifully designed stationery, invitations, and more. By more I mean things like double-sided wrapping paper, gift tags, business cards, and… well, you'll have to head over there to see the rest.
Etsy Kids is celebrating summer with their summer shopping guide (which helps you wade through the Etsy ocean for the coolest finds for babies, toddlers, kids, and even parents). And navigating the waters is even more fun and easy thanks to their handy A-to-Z site organization.
Lisa Leonard Designs' latest creation comes from her craving for caffeine (as well as the Nat King Cole lyric "You're The Cream In My Coffee"). Share it with your favorite coffee addict, or check out the rest of Lisa's handmade sterling silver necklaces, bracelets, and charms.
Hoot Design Co. creates all sorts of colorful designs in the form of posters, stationery, and invitations. There's lots to love – like their signature Simply Baby poster, but we have to admit that their "Midwest Is Best" print almost sparked a friendly debate. But then we realized "Mid-Atlantic Is Frantic" doesn't quite have the same ring… so we decided to let it slide.
Quirk is an appropriately named gallery and gift store here in Richmond that we love to frequent. It's not only a great place to find art inspiration (say, if you need something for an in-progress office makeover) but they're also a great spot for fun items like ice cream cone postcards and fabric covered thumbtacks.
Frame The Date will take any date worth remembering and make it stylishly memorable with their black & white photos and custom wood frames (you can also include a picture of your special date). And all you parents out there can also check out there special Frame The Date Baby section. Fun!

Ruby Plaza, a new spin on its counterpart Ruby Lane, is a virtual marketplace where individuals can sell everything from vintage items to contemporary, new, and reproduced pieces for your home and you (i.e. jewelry). It's a great spot to hunt for unique items that you might not find anywhere else- and you know what they say about the thrill of the hunt…
Now that we've worked up a sweat saying all of these "thanks" we're gonna kick back with a glass of lemonade and brace ourselves for a sweltering (and DIY filled) weekend. But not before we sling one last big THANK YOU to you guys – for reading, commenting, and joining in on the home-related hijinx that make YHL one of our favorite places to be. You're the best.
Our House In Pasadena?
Ok, so this is right up there with the weirdest thing we've ever seen in our past almost-three-years as bloggers. Recently a reader (thanks Sara!) wrote alerting us that she had seen photos of our living room and guest bedroom on a vacation rental site called Airbnb. And apparently the "landlord" was claiming that they were photos of their house in Pasadena- and charging $48 a night with priority to anyone who booked it for one or two weeks straight (to the tune of $336 to $672) since they "received so much interest."
Isn't that weird???? What happens when people get there and it doesn't look like that? Or maybe it doesn't get that far because it's all a scam and this person takes the money and runs without providing an address? Either way we were adequately skeeved out. And of course we contacted both the webmaster of the site along with the "landlord" to let them know that those images were ours and they were firmly planted in Richmond and not for rent. Pretty soon thereafter they were removed. Whew. But so odd right?!
It ranked up there with the time that another reader (thanks Michael!) wrote to us shortly after our big bathroom reveal to tell us that they saw some girl named Amber on Rate My Space claiming our bathroom after photos as hers.
The good news is that it was getting great feedback. But the bad news was that it wasn't her bathroom! The funniest thing about that situation was that Amber was answering questions about the paint color and where she got things (all of which were wrong, so we were totally confused to see her claim that our $100 Overstock sink was a $400 splurge from Kohler and that the walls were some shade called Cucumber Dream instead of the actual Dune Grass hue that we used). Isn't that weird? Of course we just commented under the post with a link to our site saying "Wait- that's actually our bathroom! You can see where we got everything and how it all came together by following this link." Literally within a minute the post was removed.
Actually now that we think about it, the Rate My Space thing might have been stranger than the room rental incident because the room rental person seemed to be in it for the money, so the idea of a scammer stealing a photo and trying to make some loot with it kind of makes sense. But isn't it odd that someone found a photo of our bathroom and thought it would somehow be rewarding to claim it as their own on Rate My Space (where there's no dough on the line)? Maybe she didn't feel like redoing her bathroom so she thought using our photos would be a shortcut? Or she thought it would be funny? Consider us stumped.
Thank goodness for all of our lovely readers who have eagle eyes and thoughtfully email us every time they see our casa somewhere that it doesn't belong. We're used to hearing that our pictures are on eBay or Craigslist when someone's trying to sell an identical rug or duvet. And we even saw before and after photos of our front yard on some landscaping guy's website in Texas (so crazy, right?!). But the latest Rate My Space and vacation rental listing have been the most odd by far. What do you guys think? Can you figure out some ulterior motive for the Rate My Space thing? Have you ever seen your photos somewhere they didn't belong? Do tell.

The 1st Morgan Valley Marathon, half marathon and 5K has come and gone. With 650 runners, many volunteers, great sponsors and wonderful community support- this race was a huge success. The Biggest Little Marathon in Utah has definitely made its mark! All the comments from the runners were positive and encouraging. "Very organized, especially for a first race" "The best Aid Stations and volunteers ever!" "Beautiful, amazing course" "Great medals, shirts and bags" "Fun Prizes" "We'll run this race every year" were just a few of the comments made.
Saturday July 30th brought runners and walkers together to experience Morgan's first history making marathon.
Runners started at 5:30 A.M. for the marathon, 6:30 A.M. for the Half Marathon and 7:00 A.M. for the 5k run and walk.
Runners came from all over the valley as well as from other areas to run the races. One lady came all the way from Colorado, visiting the Holcim Cement Plant on a business trip. She heard about this event and wanted to make a run of it. This was her first time running in three years, as she and her husband had been attacked by a mountain lion, while running in Colorado.
Look inside to see the results.

When many individuals begin family history there seems to be a race to go backwards in time. It seems like whenever individuals get together to discuss family history the first topic is something like, "My Patterson line goes back to 1620." There is peer pressure and some satisfaction in tracing family lines back as far as possible.

After years of work, cleaner water for some residents in Mountain Green became even closer on Tuesday in the County Council. A conditional use permit was granted to Cottonwood Mutual Water Company to allow construction of a well house. This brings the water company one step closer to bringing a new well online to replace a well contaminated with nitrates.
Darren Menlove appeared before the county council on Tuesday requesting the council's feedback on a plan his family is considering for Como Springs. Menlove's family has run the KOA campground just north of temple square in Salt Lake for the past thirty-five years.

Whether participating in the balloon candy drop, climbing the rock wall, catching gold fish, dancing the Zumba, enjoying the car show, or one of the other many activities, those who came to Gordon Smith Park for the celebration on Pioneer Day had a great time. In addition to the activities pictured there was a breakfast, volleyball tournament, bouncy toys, and many vendor booths. It was a beautiful day and a great way to celebrate the pioneers and enjoy the valley in which they settled.
During our school years each of us learns about the scientific method. We develop theories, test them, and then draw conclusions from the tests. Once conclusions have been validated they are reviewed by peers in the field in order to identify any flaws in the research or conclusions. This method has been at the heart of nearly all major scientific discoveries.
Twenty one year old Daniel Butler from Durrant, Oklahoma has always cared for the safety and well being of others and had a great interest in how animals can help save people's lives. This interest came at a very young age when he and his family were driving down a country road in Oklahoma and noticed an elderly lady walking out on a dirt path in the middle of nowhere, looking a little disoriented. They asked her where she was going, and she told them that she was walking to Walmart. There was not a Walmart anywhere for miles. They returned her back home to her grateful husband.
It was shortly after this incident Daniel was watching COPS on television and a similar story came on about an elderly person with dementia who had been lost. They used a canine unit to help find the person. This began turning the wheels for Daniel and caused him to wonder how he could become involved working with dogs to help find lost people on land or water.
Happy Birthday Dad. Thank you for all the Memories, Love, and fun we shared when we started to have our dates every Wednesday of every week until you were called home.
I can feel your presence so very many times when I see or when I am around different places that you and I shared on our special days. I felt blessed to know that your faith in me and trust never wavered on the last day that I saw you before you passed on. The thought of all the fishing you have been doing in heaven - makes me laugh - because when we went fishing and you caught five of the most beautiful salmon I had ever seen - the look on your face said all the words a daughter needed to hear.
I Love You Dad
Love from your Daughter - Happy
Happy Birthday Dad! We miss you.

Rock Springs, WY - Keli Jo Hardy-Shook, 50, passed away July 23, 2011 at the Salt Lake City Regional Medical Center. She died from a sudden illness. Keli was born April 22, 1961 in Ogden, Utah to Val Dean and Carol Lee Hardy. She was a graduate of the Morgan High School class of 1979 and soon after met the love of her life, Dale Shook.

Dr. Vern Kilbourn is a long time resident of Morgan and Morgan's first Chiropractor. He was the first Chiropractor to ever be issued a business liscence in Morgan County. He is a 2nd generation chiropractor in his family, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Ozias (nicknamed "Banz") to the community. His grandfather who was a graduate of Palmer Chiropractic School in Davenport Iowa, had finished his graduate degree, but was not allowed to practice because he didn't have a high school diploma, and the state required a high school diploma to practice, yet he already received his doctorate degree. His grandfather was not allowed to be "grandfathered" into the practice, and not allowed to charge for his services, even after he had obtained a doctorate degree. His grandfather practiced for free in the community and offered many hours of unpaid service to help others.

Over the past two weeks I have looked at many family photos as we prepared for my mother-in-law's funeral, and it reminded me of all the clues that are hidden inside each photograph. Many times we inherit or are sent photos by other family members. Most of the time there is no indication of who is pictured in the photo or how they are related. Sometimes one or two individuals are known, but the rest are a mystery. There are many things inside photos that can help to date them, provide clues to where they were taken, and tell who is contained in the photographs.
"It has been a challenge. I get people asking me, 'how do you do it?', and I tell them, 'truly, it's a gift from God.'"
At first glance the Larsens appear to be just your average family, a group of loving, kind-hearted people. It would seem they don't have a worry in the world; at least they seem average until you have the opportunity to hear their remarkable story.
Louise B. Clements is celebrating her 90th birthday Thursday, August 4, 2011. We invite her friends to join her at the Senior Citizens room in Morgan from 1:00 to 3:00pm.
I have a few comments about the front page article about the Morgan County School District Transportation Department being over budget. We know the main reason for this cost overage is due to fuel cost for an ever growing school system. The school district is concerned with the future needs of a new school or even two new schools and remodeling cost. They don't have the money. The school district talks about increasing school fees for students. This school fee idea will only create a few thousand dollars which is nowhere close to the amount necessary to keep up with the cost of education. I applaud the school district for not asking for a new Morgan County School District Office and Administration building. They are working out of a small office in front of the Morgan Elementary School. Good for them.
Our love forever and always,
Dad, Mom & Token
Dorothy Louise (Phillips) Bennett (91) passed away 13 May 2011 in Sandy, Utah and was transported back to Sandpoint, Bonner, Idaho, her home for 60 years.
In a surprise move, Member Ned Mecham brought the issue of the purchase of land adjacent to the fair grounds back to the county council agenda. Mecham has been a consistent proponent of the purchase of the land, but had been unable to muster the votes necessary to pass the purchase at a price the school board would approve.
Pioneer Day is upon us. There are rich pioneer traditions in Morgan. The earliest settlers in the Morgan Valley were all pioneers, and this weekend we will celebrate their sacrifices and commitment as we gather in parks and with families.
After months of negotiations the county reached agreement with the developers of Rollins Ranch. The developer agreed to complete all identified improvements per the initial development agreement by August 31 and to pay the outstanding tax bill of approximately $23,000. The county agreed to waive interest and penalties on the unpaid taxes, to take the developer out of default, and to begin issuing building permits once the taxes are paid and the improvements are complete.
The 4-H had a day camp that was different than any other. It had the eager 4-H members, enthusiastic 4-H leaders, certificates of achievement, prizes, treats and competitions, but…it also had robots!
The 4-H leaders, Justin and Melanie Andrews, introduced robotics to the participants with "the LEGO Mind Storm Kits." Justin pointed out to the kids that, "these kits cost $300 each. We were able to borrow six of these kits from Jeff Richins of North Summit School District."
Have you "herd"? Herding dogs and their handlers from all over the Western United States and Canada are coming once again to the Summit County Fair on Thursday thru Saturday August 4-6.

The trial will showcase top handler/dog teams from Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota as well as Saskatchewan, Canada.
This past Saturday the Morgan County Horse 4-H Council held their first horse show of the 2011 season. Due to a concerning equine virus outbreak this spring, the horse show scheduled to be held in June was cancelled, leaving only two remaining State qualifying shows.

Grant defiant in defeat
West Ham manager Avram Grant insists he is the right man to lead the club off the bottom of the Barclays Premier League table and away from the relegation zone.The Hammers surrendered meekly at Liverpool, going down 3-0, to stay bottom of the table without an away win in the league this season.But Grant said: "Even now I am sure we can get out of this. I don't analyse only the Liverpool game because it was poor."If you look at recent performances we have done well and if we do it again we will win games because it cannot happen things will go against us all the time."We need to win even though there are a lot of games before the end of the season we need to start now because we are bottom."

GUY 1. Im watching that burning house over there.
GUY 2. What burning house?
GUY 1. It's offstage.
GUY 2. Oh.
GUY 1. But it's there.
GUY 2. What for?
GUY 1. Its a plot device.
GUY 2. A what?
GUY 1. A plot device. Something introduced to the narrative in order to advance it. In this case, a burning house.
GUY 2. Oh. How's that working out?
GUY 1. Well, you showed up.
GUY 2. Is it a symbol or something?
GUY 1. Probably.
GUY 2. I don't get it.
GUY 1. Yeah, neither do I.
GUY 2. I dont think I like this plot device.
GUY 1. Give it some time. Sit down, have a smoke.
GUY 2. I don't smoke.
GUY 1. Well this is my story and in my story you smoke.
GUY 2. I don't want to smoke.
GUY 1. Smoke the goddamn cigarette.
[GUY 2 takes a cigarette from GUY 1 and takes a drag from it. He chokes and coughs.]
Way to smoke.
GUY 2. I said I didn't smoke, didn't I? If the smoking is so important you should have lit one up.
GUY 1. I don't smoke.
GUY 2. Shouldn't there be firemen on that house by now?
GUY 1. We don't have any firemen.
GUY 2. Who do we have?
GUY 1. So far? You and me.
[Enter LOVE INTEREST stage RIGHT. ]
And her.
GUY 2. Who's that?
GUY 1. The romantic interest.

GUY 1. She's doable.
[Enter JERK stage RIGHT. ]
GUY 2. Another guy? We already have two.
GUY 1. Hes important. Ill make him important.

GUY 2. You don't even know her.
GUY 1. It's my story.
[Enter RANDOM stage RIGHT. ]

LOVE INTEREST. Hello.
GUY 1. Would you like to fall in love?
LOVE INTEREST. Excuse me?
GUY 1. Fall in love. With me.
LOVE INTEREST. I don't understand...
GUY 1. Your boyfriend's a jerk, so he's not an option, and you hate smokers, so that leaves out this guy here.
GUY 2. You asshole.
LOVE INTEREST. Is this a joke?
GUY 1. No. Don't fall in love with me straight away, though. We need to draw out the sexual tension until our eyes meet under the stars or something. Then we kiss, fade to black and everybody goes home happy.
LOVE INTEREST. I don't get it.
GUY 1. That's how romances are done. Nobody cares about the kiss itself. Thats what porn is for. [to GUY 2. ] Are you done with that cigarette?
GUY 2. Almost.
GUY 1. Here's another. Welcome to flavour country.
[GUY 2 accepts it with a sigh.]
[JERK approaches.]
JERK. What the fucking cockshit?
LOVE INTEREST. Oh no, please, Jerry, I was just
JERK. Fuck that fuck, I'm fucking pissed the fuck fucking.
LOVE INTEREST. We were just talking
JERK. Fucking football ass shit ass shit shit fuck slut.
GUY 2. I hope there aren't any kids in the audience.
GUY 1. He doesn't care; he's an asshole like that.
JERK. Fuck.
LOVE INTEREST. No, Jerry, I told you, I don't want to discuss the finer points of Marxist economic theory right now.
JERK. Cockslap a bitch fuck fucking ass.
LOVE INTEREST. I'm Smithian and always will be. Your eloquent rhetoric will never change that.
JERK. Motherfucking fuckass fuck a duck.
LOVE INTEREST [with a sob]. Now you're just being hurtful!
JERK. Fuck!
[JERK exits stage LEFT. LOVE INTEREST cries. GUY 1 opens his arms. After a moment, she flings herself violently into them and cries on his shoulder. Eventually she stops crying and they catch each others eyes. They pause for a moment.]
GUY 1. Beat.
LOVE INTEREST. What?
GUY 1. In dramaturgy, this is called a beat. It's a division of the scene when two characters have made a mutual discovery. In this case, you have discovered that I am your true love and I have discovered I have a chance of scoring. And it all happened under silvery moonlight.
GUY 2. Were indoors.
GUY 1. My story.
LOVE INTEREST. I want to kiss you.
GUY 1. Damn straight.
[They kiss. Tenderly at first, but then they start to get a little carried away.]
GUY 2. Whoa, whoa! Im right here.
GUY 1 [between kisses]. My story!
GUY 2. You know what? I'm getting sick of "your story". This is my story now. And my story has pirates in it.
[Enter PIRATE 1 stage RIGHT. ]
I said pirates!
[Enter PIRATE 2 stage RIGHT.]
PIRATE 2. What up?
GUY 2. Hell yeah! Do some funky pirate stuff.
PIRATE 1. Like what?
GUY 2. I don't know. Do a pirate dance.
[The PIRATES dance.]
Now this story is going places.
GUY 1. What? This is stupid. Romances don't have pirates in them.
GUY 2. This isn't romance. This is mile-a-minute action, baby!
[PIRATE 1 starts "waxing that ass."]
LOVE INTEREST. Those guys are freaking me out.
GUY 1 [to PIRATES]. Hey. Hey!
[The PIRATES stop dancing.]
You're killing the mood over here.
PIRATE 1. Just doing as we're told.
GUY 1. Get out of here.
[PIRATES exit stage RIGHT, grumbling.]
GUY 2. I went along with your crappy story.
GUY 1. My story is not crappy.
GUY 2. Yeah it is.
GUY 1. Is not!
GUY 2. You're just jealous because my story also has robots in it.
[Enter PIRATE 1 stage RIGHT. ]
I said robots this time.
PIRATE 1. I didn't have time for a costume change. Pretend I'm a robot pirate.
GUY 2. That's stupid.
GUY 1. Your whole story is stupid. It's not even a story. Mine has an intricate plot, yours is just some pirates.
GUY 2. He's a robot.
[PIRATE 1 starts doing the robot.]
LOVE INTEREST. Somebody please tell the dancing pirate to stop, seriously.
GUY 2. He can't help it! Poppin' fresh moves flow through his veins like a mighty river.
[Enter PIRATE 2 stage RIGHT with rope.]
PIRATE 2. Did someone ask for a reef knot?
GUY 2. No man, a robot.
PIRATE 2. Oh.
[Exit PIRATE 2 stage RIGHT. ]
GUY 1. This is ridiculous. [to PIRATE 1] Stop dancing.
[PIRATE 1 stops dancing.]
Exit stage right.
[Exit PIRATE 1 stage RIGHT. ]
GUY 2. Alright, I see how it is. Beat.
GUY 1. Beat?
GUY 2. That's right, beat. Your romantic interest just discovered your horrible secret.
[LOVE INTEREST gasps.]
GUY 1. I don't have a horrible secret.
GUY 2. That's not what you told... her sister!
LOVE INTEREST [slapping GUY 1]. You bastard! I hate you!
GUY 1. Ow, damn!
GUY 2. Enter Pirate 1, stage right.
[Enter PIRATE 1 stage RIGHT. ]
She runs into the pirate's waiting arms.
PIRATE 1. What?
[LOVE INTEREST runs into PIRATE 1s arms.]
GUY 2. They get married and she forgets about you.
PIRATE 1. Sweet.
GUY 2. After they exit stage left.
[Exit PIRATE 1 and LOVE INTEREST stage LEFT. ]
And they spend their days dancing the night away. You can't really tell because they're offstage, but rest assured they're dancing their hearts out. The end.
[Lights begin to dim]
GUY 1. Hey!
[Lights go back up]
What was that for?
GUY 2. Also, the burning house was your house. The end.
[Lights begin to dim]
GUY 1 [to lighting booth]. Turn those goddamn lights up now.
[Lights go up, quickly]
[to GUY 2] Thats the way you want it, huh? Thats the little game youre playing? You slap yourself.
[GUY 2 slaps himself.]
GUY 2. Ow! You slap yourself.
[GUY 1 slaps himself. There is a pause, and then both GUYS roll up their sleeves. Every order is followed by the appropriate action]
GUY 1. Punch your arm.
GUY 2. Punch your leg.
GUY 1. Lick the floor.
GUY 2. Bite your tongue.
GUY 1. Pull your hair.
GUY 2. Pluck an eyelash.
GUY 1. Poke your eye.
GUY 2. Twist your nipples.
GUY 1. Twist your nipples.
GUY 2. Twist harder!
GUY 1. You too!
GUY 1 and 2. Run into the wall.
[They both run full tilt into the wall. They fall to the ground, breathing heavily.]
GUY 1 [after a pause]. Do you give up?
GUY 2. Never.
GUY 1. Good.
GUY 2. Good.
GUY 1. Good!
GUY 2 [softly]. Good.
[Enter LOVE INTEREST stage LEFT. ]
LOVE INTEREST [to GUY 2]. You. Yeah, you. You screwed me over!
GUY 2. What do you mean?
LOVE INTEREST. What do I mean? What do I mean? You said I would live happily ever after. Ever!
GUY 2. Well
LOVE INTEREST. Shut up. You know what else you said?
GUY 2. Um
LOVE INTEREST. Shut up! You said Id spend the rest of my days dancing. Thats a lot of days. And you know what? Some days, I dont want to dance. Some days I want to stay at home and watch TV, or read a book, or call my friends. Thats not even the half of it. Shut up.
GUY 2. I didnt
LOVE INTEREST. Shush! To think, you want me to marry a pirate, too. A pirate. Do you realize how little market demand there is for a pirate these days?
GUY 2 [mumbling]. Sorry.
LOVE INTEREST. What was that?
GUY 2. I said sorry.
LOVE INTEREST. Sorry? Youre sorry?
GUY 2. Look, what do you want?
LOVE INTEREST. How about
how about I tell a story.
GUY 1. No.
LOVE INTEREST. Yes. Yes, I think I will. I like that. You boys have had your fun, its my turn now.
GUY 1. There are no turns. I was telling the story.
LOVE INTEREST. Not anymore. I am now. [Looks around] I need more characters. Pirate and Jerry, re-enter!
[Enter PIRATE 1 and JERK stage LEFT]
GUY 1. As if this wasnt already ridiculous.
GUY 2. Just let her do it.
LOVE INTEREST. Thats right, listen to him.
GUY 2. Thanks.
LOVE INTEREST. Shut up. Now
LOVE INTEREST. Im thinking.
GUY 1. Thinking? Thinking about what?
LOVE INTEREST. Thinking about what to do.
GUY 1. Are you serious? You took command without any idea of what you wanted to do?
LOVE INTEREST. Be quiet. Sit down. All of you.
[They sit.]
Oh! Oh, I know.
PIRATE 1. What?
LOVE INTEREST. A murder mystery.
GUY 1. You cant be serious.
LOVE INTEREST. Im very serious. I love whodunits.
GUY 1 [sighing]. Fine. Fine, get it over with.
[LOVE INTEREST moves downstage. She clears her throat and begins.]
LOVE INTEREST. It all began when a group of strangers met on a deserted island for a party
Ahem. It all began.
PIRATE 1. Do we
say something now?
LOVE INTEREST. Yes, you say something now.
PIRATE 1. Like what?
LOVE INTEREST. Talk about the party!
PIRATE 1. Oh. [turns to other guests. Delivers his lines rapidly and monotonously] My what a mysterious party on this mysterious island with you mysterious strangers I hope no evil befalls us would you agree dear fellow.
GUY 2. Quite.
GUY 1. I concur.
LOVE INTEREST. Stop. That was terrible.
PIRATE 1. Look, Im doing my best with whats being given.
LOVE INTEREST. Fine. Well move on. The night progressed without a hitch, untilsuddenlythe lights went out!
[Lights go out.]
Two gunshots rang!
[Two gunshots ring.]
A woman screamed!
Somebody scream!
GUY 2. Ah.
LOVE INTEREST. And when the lights came back on, what did they find but
[Lights come back on. Everybody is sitting in the same position as before.]
The Colonel
was dead!
[She turns around and realizes nobody moved.]
What are you guys doing?
GUY 1. Sitting here.
LOVE INTEREST. One of you was supposed to die. That was the point.
GUY 2. Oh.
LOVE INTEREST. Its a murder mystery, people. You cant have a murder mystery without murder.
GUY 2. Try again, then.
GUY 1. Can we not?
LOVE INTEREST. Were doing it again. This time, the Colonel dies, got it? [Turns back toward audience] The evening appeared to be going swimmingly. That is, until the fateful moment when the lights went out.
[Lights go out.]
Two gunshots rang!
[Two gunshots ring.]
A woman screamed!
GUY 2. Eek.
LOVE INTEREST. And when the lights came back on, the Colonel was
[Lights come back on. Nobody has moved. Everybody sitting looks at each other.]
GUY 2. Um.
LOVE INTEREST. What?
GUY 2. Whos the Colonel?
[LOVE INTEREST turns back]
LOVE INTEREST. Are you guys really this stupid? Jesus. [Points to PIRATE 1. ] You. Youre the Colonel.
PIRATE 1. I dont want to die.
LOVE INTEREST. Too bad. The rest of you, decide whos the murderer. God knows at this point thats the next thing youd screw up.
[The others huddle to confer. After a few moments, they break.]
[They nod.]
[Lights out.]
GUY 2. Ooh.
LOVE INTEREST. Lights up!
[Lights up. PIRATE 1 is lying on the floor. GUY 2 holding a gun.]
GUY 1. I think I solved the mystery.
LOVE INTEREST. No. No, no, no! You put the gun away before lights come back up. Jesus! You guys really are stupid.
GUY 1. Were not stupid. Youre just a bad director.
LOVE INTEREST. I am not a bad director. [To others] You guys are with me, right?
GUY 2. Well
PIRATE 1. Uh
JERK [leaping to his feet]. Balls!
LOVE INTEREST. Go ahead, Jerry. I cant get anything out of these people.
GUY 1. What does he want?
LOVE INTEREST. He says he wants to do something.
GUY 1. No. Absolutely not. This has turned into enough of a circus as it is.
JERK. Fuck.
LOVE INTEREST. He says hes already taken the liberty of preparing something.
JERK. Fucking.
LOVE INTEREST. A poignant existential piece exploring mans emotional relationship with reality.
GUY 1. Oh. That doesnt sound too bad, I guess.
[JERK takes several sheets of paper out of his pockets. Hands one sheet apiece to everybody but LOVE INTEREST. He motions the others to begin.]
[GUY 1 looks from his sheet to JERK, then back to his sheet.]
GUY 1. This is not a play.
JERK. Shit.
LOVE INTEREST. It is.
GUY 1. No, its not. Its a sheet of paper with the word dicks written on it over and over again. [turns over the page] On both sides!
JERK. Dicks!
GUY 1. Yes, dicks. Dicks dicks dicks! Is this supposed to mean something? Is this supposed to be
theatre? I was telling a reasonable story and now its a farce, a goddamn farce. People go to the theatre to be
God, I dont know, educated. When the lights go up and you leave the building, you should have learned something. You should take something home with you. What in the hell are you going to take home with dicks?
JERK. Post-modern. Fuck.
GUY 1. This is not post-modern. This is juvenile. This is
I dont even know what this is. But hey, as long as everybody gets a turn, right? As long as everybody gets a chance to spin their respective yarn. All stories are equal, eh, comrades? [to PIRATE 1] I suppose you have something too, right? Words that are just aching to be told.
PIRATE 1. Uh
no, not really.
GUY 1. Oh no, please, be my guest. The horse is still twitching, it can stand another beating or two.
PIRATE 1. I like horses.
GUY 2. Maybe we should all settle down.
GUY 1. Shut up.
GUY 2. No, you shut up.
[Everybody but PIRATE 1 begins to squabble. Finally, once hes had enough, he yells above everybody.]
PIRATE 1. Stop!
[Everybody falls silent.]
I do have a story to tell.
GUY 1. Fantastic.
PIRATE 1. Its about these guys. And a girl. Guys and a girl. And they were fighting. And then
then they stopped and were friends again.
GUY 1. Is that it?
PIRATE 1. Yes.
GUY 2. I think hes talking about us.
GUY 1. I gathered that, thanks.
GUY 2. So?
GUY 1. So what?
GUY 2. You know what.
[GUY 1 shuffles his feet.]
GUY 1. Im sorry.
GUY 2. Hey.
Me too.
LOVE INTEREST. Me too, I guess.
JERK. Pussy.
GUY 1 and 2. Beat.
GUY 1. I'd hug you but I'm homophobic.
GUY 2. So now what?
GUY 1. We can stay here.
GUY 2. Let's not.
GUY 1. Okay.
[GUY 1 and GUY 2 exit stage LEFT. ]
[LOVE INTEREST, PIRATE 1 and JERK look at each other. LOVE INTEREST steps downstage.]
LOVE INTEREST [with sudden flourish]. It was a dark and stormy night
[Lights out.]

Widow offers tips for thriving without a partner
For everyone - even people in an ideal relationship with a lifelong partner - there will be times when you are alone, says serial entrepreneur Susan Alpert.
For 46 years, Alpert lived the dream with her husband, Larry; they had a happy home, children and thriving careers. When Larry died, Alpert experienced the ultimate aloneness, fearing her happiness would never return.

John Talabot Launches Weekly Radio Program and Podcast
'El Ritmo Infinito' will showcase esoteric electronic sounds every Saturday; the Spanish DJ's 'DJ-Kicks' mix is set to drop in October
As a DJ, John Talabot's mixing skills are second only to the occasional audaciousness of his selections. And as co-founder of Barcelona's Hivern Discs label, he has proven that he has a keen ear for A&R. Now, the versatile Spanish musician will bring his skills to yet another medium as he helms a weekly show on Spain's Radio 3.
Every Saturday, Talabot and Franc Sayol, a journalist and partner in Hivern Discs, will present "El Ritmo Infinito," an hour-long show dedicated to "different manifestations of pop, electronica, hip-hop, and dance music, with special attention to proposals from outside the mainstream." In addition to short mixes and commentary, the DJs promise interviews with invited artists "who share with us their discoveries, anxieties, and passions."
Talabot described the show's format as "an open-minded mixture of music" divided into three mini-mixes of 15 minutes apiece and rounded out with dialogue and interviews. "It's nothing particularly original," he told SPIN, "but it allows us to play the music that we like on national radio, and that in itself is a big step forward."
Beginning this weekend, "El Ritmo Infinito" will broadcast via the Spanish national radio's terrestrial airwaves and also online every Saturday from 7 p.m. until 8 p.m. local time (2 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Pacific). For American listeners, that means that it could just be the perfect soundtrack to cleaning house, reading the paper, and similar Saturday midday rituals; listeners can also subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, RSS, and other platforms.
In related news, Talabot looks to be releasing a DJ-Kicks mix this fall. K7 has yet to announce the record, but HMV Japan lists a DJ-Kicks mix by Talabot due to drop on October 15. Even if the label's keeping mum, databases don't lie, right? In the meantime, Talabot and his frequent collaborator Pional will launch their new duo project, Lost Scripts, on a split single with Koreless on Young Turks this month. The limited-edition 12-inch, the first in a new series of split EPs from the U.K. label, comes out September 16.
To get a taste of Talabot's mixing skills, check out his Boiler Room set from Miami Music Week, and scroll down for Lost Scripts' "I'll Be Watching You."

FIXED THE BUTTON BUG. this think keeps kicking my butt even after im done with it >.> audio still burst out when clicking any scene button.... sorry for the inconvenience :3
------------------------ DAILY FIRST!! SUPER EXITED AND VERY HONORED! FRONT PAGE TOO!? WHAT THE HELL!!!?? WEEKLY 5TH!?!? :O thank you so much!!!! and also thanks to "Ichigoxcupcakes" for busting out with awesome voice acting and making this as good as it is.
the 2 part to the 3 part arc. will black find his natural talent and finally be able to stand up for himself? will he survive? will he try to fart again? "Stickman Can't Fight 5" its finally out!
i really slaved over to finish this in time, but i did it. just like promised, this one is the best thing i have done so far. it has a menu, voice acting and better backgrounds. ALSO, watch out for a couple of shout-outs to 2 animators that were the ones that got me into this world of animation :D
one thing i will say is that the audio editing could use more polishing, but so far this is what i can do. :/
like always, please write a constructive review. i prefer constructive criticism over a "good job" :3
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Your spelling is atrocious but I really enjoy the Stickman Can't Fight animations you do.
That's why my art class' grade was soo much higher than my english class :3
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Hey that was really good! The humor was great and the animation and art were pretty good. Nice work
Thanks :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
That was just great! Wish I had something more useful to say, but just.... amazing is good enough. I love how it's sort of mocking the cliche stickman flashes, while being a great one. I need to see more flash vids like this.
That wa the basis of the first episode and for the whole series. There are many cliche's and over-done things in animations, so I poke fun at that :P

Write a ReviewTent Cot oversize DTC443
By Martin A. from Thompsonville, MI on Jul 30, 2012
Bargain Hunter
Seems to be a well made product. Does what it supposed to do and seems to be sturdy enough to last. Well thought out and designed. One thing that I suspect may break in the long run is the plastic clips that are snapped onto the legs to hold things in place. The plastic will probably get brittle and break eventually and then something will have to be improvised. Maybe they can make replacement clips with an open slot that can be slipped on the strap after cutting off the old one. Also, the instruction aren't very good. Some pictures with the names of the part and showing how they go on would be very helpful.

Poll: Who's the Most Improved Star Finalist?
by Maria Russo in Food Network Star, July 11, 2012Think back to almost 10 weeks ago when we first met this season's 15 Food Network Star hopefuls. As a group, they were a bit timid, unsure of the whole cooking-in-front-of-a-camera-for-famous-people thing, but extremely eager to prove themselves and their cooking chops to their mentors and the network. Thanks to the mentoring of Alton, Bobby and Giada, each contestant had the opportunity to grow as a cook and potential television personality, though some finalists' stays at Star were too short-lived to benefit from their advice. The remaining six finalists, however, have enjoyed a month and a half of constructive criticism and countless chances to show their progress toward stardom, and this Sunday, Ippy, Justin, Martie, Michele, Nikki and Yvan will have a final few moments to demonstrate their improvement and promising Star potential in a promo for their would-be Food Network show.
Tell us: Which of the remaining Star finalists is the most improved contender?

I just finished watching the promos of the last 4 contestants. I agree that Martie is tiring with her "southern drawl" and she is nothing more than a Paula Deen wanabe. Wouldn't watch her show if she's the winner. Michele is just plain boring. I've said it before, can't stand to watch her with her piercings and classless dress. Isn't appearance important when you have a TV show? I don't see any of the other FN stars with their own shows dressing like Michele. PLEASE don't give either Michele or Martie their own show, you would lose a lot of viewers in my family and our circle of friends. I liked Yvan's promo the best. Justin's promo seemed flat to us. He's been the most consistent throughout, but I think Yvan has come a long way. I vote for Yvan, hope you will to!
I find it interesting to have read some of the comments about Michele and other constestants that have been on several other cooking shows? Are the "professional cooking show constestants". How many chances to they get?? I am coming to the conclusion that the network is promoting the person they have already picked for the winnner. Don't think we will watch any more Food Network shows. My husband has said from the beginning that the outcome was already decided. Frankly, this season's show is really ho-hum. I honestly don't think any of the constestants were truly dynamic or interesting.
Sorry.......I just noticed I spelled contestants wrong, 4 times!! I think my fingers have dyslexia!!
It is nice to see Michele and Yvan to be the finalists. I am a BIG fan of Chopped and I remember years back when they both were on Chopped.. I think Justin will win the overall..
They were? Geez, I've missed a lot of Chopped's! *Runs off to record*
There needs to be a new show that has a different twist to entice people that don't usually watch food network. I primarily voted for Justin, but think Michele and Yvan have offerings for alot of people too.
Martie did not explain how to prepare the pickling...that's the main part of the recipe.
I think the concept for the next food network is played out. the only food network star winner that i watch is Guy. do the winners before him even have shows still? All the rest i can't watch. I think the finalists this year are not star quality. Michelle looks very uncomfortable in front of a camera. Seafood gets to be boring if that is all she is. And I will probably tire of New England fare if that is what she is all about. Martie seems confused and lost in thought. she talks to much about nothing and seems to get sidetracked and flustered. Ivan talks way to fast shich makes him hard to listen to. Justin seems full of himself. He didn't seem to care that paula and suzi burned their tastebuds off with the corn soup he made. He didn't even mention (at least not on air) the chili oil he dropped on top and the fact that it should be stirred before eating. I don't think I will watch any of the shows from whom ever wins.
I think Martin would have had a great food network show I voted for her

Toyota recall: Are sticky gas pedals the real culprit?
Federal investigators are looking at Toyota's electronic throttle system as a possible cause for the sudden acceleration that has led to a global recall. Toyota insists sticky gas pedals are the problem.

As Toyota rolls out fixes for sticky gas pedals, the automaker is coming under scrutiny from federal investigators who say the faulty pedals are not the only cause of sudden acceleration.
Electronic defects may also have contributed to the problem, say investigators and independent safety experts. Federal safety regulators have begun an investigation into Toyota's electronic throttle control system, which connects the accelerator pedal to the engine via sensors that send electric signals, rather than a mechanical cable.
"It's not just sticking gas pedals," says Byron Bloch, an independent auto safety expert. "Toyota, which does a pretty good job in many ways, made a bad decision when they went to electronic throttle control. They should have adopted more safety measures and they didn't. And their customers and company are suffering as a result."
Toyota maintains that its electronic throttle control system is not to blame.
"Through many investigations over a period of many years, Toyota has never found a problem with the electronic throttle control system that could lead to unintended acceleration," says Brian Lyons, safety and quality communications manager at Toyota, USA. "The results of those investigations recently have indicated pedal entrapment and sticky pedal [are to blame]."
