1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to permanent disposal vaults for hazardous chemical waste materials and more particularly to vaults which provide for continuous monitoring of liquid leakage and leachates.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Heretofore hazardous chemical waste materials have been permanently encapsulated in concrete vaults which have been formed in situ below the surface of the surrounding terrain. Hazardous chemical waste materials have been deposited in bulk or in distinct containers (e.g., metal drums) in a concrete basin and subsequently covered with water-impermeable permanent materials such as a covering layer of poured-in-place concrete. If any breakage occurs in the basin or in the covering material, surface water can penetrate the concrete, soak the waste materials and form a reservoir of hazardous leachate which tends to escape from the concrete basin into the local geological strata whence contamination of natural water systems can develop. It is desirable to dispose of hazardous chemical waste materials in some fashion which will preclude entry of leakages and leachates into the natural water distribution system. It is further desirable to dispose of hazardous chemical waste materials in some fashion which will permit positive identification of leakage materials and leachate materials if any should develop within the hazardous chemical waste disposal area.
NOTE: Hazardous chemical waste materials are to be distinguished from active biological waste materials (sewage, garbage, trash--sometimes called "municipal wastes") and radioactive wastes (sometimes called "nuclear wastes"). This invention is not intended for active biological wastes or radioactive wastes.
According to the present invention, a permanent disposal vault for hazardous chemical waste materials is provided in a generally sloping terrain by providing an excavation basin which may be below, above or coincident with the existing sloping surface grade of the region and preparing the excavation basin for receiving hazardous chemical waste materials in the following fashion. The excavation basin is covered with a basin liner which may be a water-impervious continuous film or a cementitious water-impermeable coating. The basin liner extends beyond the upper rim of the excavation basin. A water collection system is installed on top of the basin liner. The water collection system has multiple openings for receiving accumulated liquids and delivering the accumulated liquids through an outlet conduit which extends beyond the rim of the excavation basin. The outlet conduit communicates with a monitoring sump which is positioned outside the excavation basin and is at least in part below the bottom surface of the excavation basin. A first layer of water-permeable filler material is applied on top of the basin liner and extending above the liquid collection system. A first covering of water-impermeable cementitious material is applied as a monolithic layer over the first layer of water-permeable material. Then a first water-impervious continuous film is applied on top of the first water-impermeable cementitious layer. A second layer of water-permeable filler is applied above the first water-impervious continuous film. This second layer of water-permeable filler constitutes a floor for the vault to receive hazardous waste materials. The hazardous chemical waste materials can be introduced into the basin in bulk or in suitable containers. After the hazardous chemical waste material is introduced into the basin or into a portion of the basin, the hazardous chemical waste materials are covered with a second water-impervious film which is joined along its perimeter to the first water-impervious film. A third layer of water-permeable filler material is applied on top of the second water-impervious film. A second layer of water-impermeable cementitious filler is applied thereafter joining at its perimeter with the perimeter of the first layer of water-impermeable cementitious filler. A third water-impervious film is applied above the second layer of water-impermeable cementitious filler and is joined at its periphery to the periphery of the basin liner. Two additional layers of water-permeable filler are sequentially applied above the third water-impervious film at a level above the terrain surface in the region to complete the permanent vault.
In the described hazardous chemical waste material vault, any liquid leakage or leachate from the hazardous chemical waste materials is confined by a water-impervious film envelope and a surrounding water-impermeable cementitious layer envelope. The encapsulated vault is positioned above a suitably lined excavation basin. A liquid collection system is provided to collect any liquid leakage or liquid leachate which might penetrate the encapsulated vault and accumulate on the basin liner. The liquid leakage or leachate is confined and can be collected in a sump and thereby does not enter indiscriminately into the natural water distribution system of the region. The liquid content of the sump can be analyzed to determine the precise nature of the leakage or leachate and to identify the scope of the hazard, if any, which might be created by the liquid leakage or leachate. The vault also provides a reliable means for determining promptly any failure of the integrity of the permanent vault and permits corrective measures to be undertaken promptly before any serious contamination of the natural water distribution system of the region can occur.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of a hazardous chemical waste disposal unit according to this invention;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 1 showing progression methods for filling a single disposal unit with different types of hazardous chemical waste substances;
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a liquid collection system which is provided in the preferred embodiment of the invention.
A waste disposal unit 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is established in a region 11 having a generally sloping surface 12. An excavation basin 13 is established in the region 11 in a size sufficient to accommodate the anticipated waste disposal requirements. An economical size unit might be 800 feet long, i.e., from the upper end 14 to the lower end 15. The excavation basin 13 may be above, below or coincident with the sloping surface 12. The bottom of the excavation basin should be located significantly above the high water table level of the region. Where possible, the excavation basin 13 is cut into the sloping surface 12. However, it may be necessary to construct a plateau of naturally occurring earth materials above the sloping surface and to form the excavation basin 13 in the plateau. The slope of the surface 12 from the upper end 14 to the lower end 15 should be between 2 percent and 15 percent.
The excavation basin 13 has an economical width as shown in FIG. 2 of perhaps 100 feet to 200 feet. Waste disposal units which are too small are economically ineffective. Waste disposal units which are too large may require excessive time for completion of the unit.
The excavation basin 13 is covered with a basin liner which preferably is a continuous water-impervious pliable film 16 which covers the excavation basin 13 and includes a perimeter strip 17, shown in FIG. 3 in phantom outline, extending over the perimeter edge of the sloping surface 12. After the basin liner film 16 is applied over the entire excavation surface, a first water-permeable layer 18 is applied by compacting local earth materials such as gravel, rocks, sand, clay and the like. In a typical waste disposal unit, the first water-permeable layer 18 will have a depth of about 12 inches.
The basin liner preferably is a continuous film 16 where the hazardous chemical wastes are aqueous and will not soften, extract, dissolve or deteriorate the plastic material of such films. Such films may be preformed films of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride or sprayed-on organic materials such as asphalts. If the hazardous chemical wastes contain organic contaminants which might cause deterioration of an organic film (with consequent leaching of the contaminant or dissolved film below the excavation basin 13) then the basin liner should be a cementitious water-impermeable layer 6 to 12 inches thick of suitable cementitious substances and fillers to be hereinafter more fully described.
Prior to introducing the first water-permeable layer 18, a liquid collection system is applied over the top of the basin liner, i.e., the first impervious film 16 as shown in FIG. 4. The liquid collection system includes a manifold conduit 19 which extends from the upper end 14 past the lower end 15 of the excavation basin 13 and multiple feeder conduits 20 which are perforated piping, for example, 4-inch diameter perforated polyvinyl chloride pipe. The manifold conduit 19 extends past the bottom end 15 of the excavation basin to an appropriate monitoring sump 21 which is at least in part below the level of the excavation basin 13, as better seen in FIG. 1.
The first water-permeable layer 18 functions in the manner of a drain to permit any liquid materials to permeate and enter into the perforated feeder conduits 20 for collection in the manifold conduit 19 and accumulation in the sump 21.
The water-permeable layer 18 normally will be compacted by suitable earth compacting equipment such as sheepfoot rollers.
As shown in FIG. 3, the first water-impermeable cementitious layer 22 is applied over the first water-permeable layer 18 to a perimeter indicated by the broken line 23.
The water-impermeable cementitious layer 22 may be fabricated from concrete or from mixtures of Portland cement with fillers such as natural earth materials from the region, fly ash, slag and even chemical waste materials. In a preferred embodiment, the first water-impermeable cementitious layer 22 is formed by mixing in situ a supply of Portland cement with inert filler substances by dragging a disc harrow over alternate layers of the Portland cement and the inert particulate fillers. The resulting mixture of Portland cement and inert fillers can be compacted with conventional earth moving equipment such as a sheepfoot roller. Thereafter a first water-impervious film 24 is applied as a continuous film over the top of the first water-impermeable cementitious layer 22. The perimeter 25 (shown in phantom outline in FIG. 3) of the first water-impervious film 24 extends to the perimeter 23 while the vault is being constructed. A second water-permeable layer 26 is applied and compacted on top of the first water-impervious film 24. Thereafter the perimeter 25 is folded back over the perimeter of the second water-permeable layer 26.
The second water-permeable layer preferably has a thickness of 8 to 20 inches; a 12-inch thick layer is recommended.
In this condition, the waste disposal unit 10 is ready for receiving hazardous chemical waste materials. The second water-permeable layer 26 functions as a floor for the storage unit. The second water-permeable layer 26 prevents unintended penetration or abrasion of the first water-impervious film 24 during the period when the waste disposal unit is receiving waste materials.
The waste materials may be introduced into the waste disposal unit in bulk form by belt conveyors, by trucks, by bulldozers and other earth moving equipment. Alternatively, the waste materials may be introduced into the storage unit in containers such as metal drums, plastic drums, fiber drums and the like. As shown in FIG. 5, the waste disposal unit 10 may receive some waste material 27 in bulk form. In this instance, the waste material 27 will be covered with a second water-impervious film 28 which will join the perimeter 25' of the first water-impervious film 24. Alternatively, the waste material may be stacked in suitable containers 29 (FIG. 5) which are similarly covered with a second water-impervious film 28'.
As the waste disposal unit 10 is filled from its upper end 14 toward its lower end 15, a temporary water-impervious film 30 will be applied to cover the most recent waste material. The temporary cover keeps atmospheric moisture and wind currents from disturbing the accumulated waste materials 27, 29.
When the waste disposal unit 10 is filled to the satisfaction of the operator, the accumulated waste material is covered as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The second water-impervious film 28 is joined at its perimeter to the perimeter 25 of the first water-impervious film 24 whereby the two films 28, 24 comprise a total encapsulation film of water-impervious material for the hazardous waste materials. A third water-permeable layer 31 is applied above the second water-impervious film 28. Thereafter a second water-impermeable cementitious layer 32 is applied above the water-permeable layer 31 and connects with the first water-impermeable cementitious layer 22 along the perimeter 23. The first and second water-impermeable layers 22, 32 constitute a monolithic composition and thus form a water-impermeable encapsulation of the film-encapsulated waste materials.
A third water-impervious film 33 is applied above the second water-impermeable layer 32 to serve as a watershed for surface water. The third water-impervious film 33, at its periphery 33', joins the basin liner 16 at the perimeter strip 17. Thereafter a fourth water-permeable layer 34 is applied above the second water-impermeable cementitious layer 32.
Finally, a fifth water-permeable layer 35, preferably topsoil, is applied on top of the fourth water-permeable layer 33 and the sloping surface 12 of the region 11 whereby the region 11 is restored to an aesthetically satisfactory surface contour. Vegetation 36 is established on the exposed surface of the fifth water-permeable layer 35.
The water-impervious films 16, 24, 28, 33 preferably are 6 mil thickness polyethylene continuous films although other plastic films are useful, for example, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene and other pliable film materials. The first, second, third and fourth water-permeable layers 18, 26, 31, 33 preferably are compacted earth materials which are locally obtained in the region 11. The thickness of these layers is optimally about 12 inches although thicknesses from 6 to 30 inches can be considered.
The fifth water-permeable layer preferably is topsoil about 24 inches thick to accommodate adequate rooting and growth of vegetation 36.
Referring to FIG. 2, it will be observed that the manifold conduit 19 (shown in cross-section) is disposed along a low level of the excavation basin 13. The bottom surface of the excavation basin 13 slopes from its sides toward the manifold conduit 19 at a slope of at least 1 percent over the major portion of the bottom of the excavation basin 13.
The manifold conduit 19 should be at least 5 feet above the high water table level in the region 11 to preclude ground water entry upwardly into the waste disposal unit 10.
The monitoring sump 21 has a capacity of 50 to 500 gallons and is, at least in part, below the bottom surface of the excavation basin 13.
Referring to FIG. 1, the excavation basin 13 has a sharp upper slope 37 at its upper end 14. This slope can be from 10 to 30 percent, sufficient to establish the excavation basin 13 in a short distance. The surface grading of the disposal unit 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is preferably about 8 percent at the upper end 14 along the surface 38. The lower slope 39 of the contoured surface can have a slope of 10 to 20 degrees, approximately 17 percent slope being preferred. The height of the encapsulated waste disposal vault 40 (FIG. 1) can range from about 10 to 30 feet. Heights of about 16 feet are preferred.
The sloping surface 12 should be provided with a diversion swale 41 which is simply a trench cut into the existing contour of the sloping surface 12 to provide a diversion path for surface waters around the waste disposal unit 10, thereby minimizing the seepage of ground water into the region of the waste disposal unit 10.
After the present waste disposal unit has been sealed as herein described, the contoured surface is aesthetically pleasing and the waste materials are permanently encapsulated in a vault from which there is little likelihood of leakage or leaching of hazardous chemical wastes into the natural water distribution system. This results from the fact that the encapsulated materials are protected from ingress of moisture and hence there is no tendency for leaching or leaking to occur. If some leakage or leaching does occur, the resulting leakage will be trapped within a flow zone of water-permeable materials (the first water-permeable layer 18) and will be collected on the excavation basin liner, i.e., on the water-impervious film 16 for accumulation within the water collection system of manifold conduit 19 and feeder conduits 20. The leakage or leachate will collect in the monitoring sump 21. Samples of the leachate can be analyzed to determine promptly the nature of the leakage or leachate. Moisture sensors can be employed to detect any loss of integrity in the encapsulation system.
As shown in FIG. 6, the collection conduit 19 connects directly with the monitor sump 21 through a normally open valve 42. A bypass conduit 43 joins the collection conduit 19 to a large collection tank 44 through a normally closed valve 45 which may be remote from the monitor sump 21. A conduit 46 may be provided to connect the monitor sump 21 to the large collection tank 44 through a valve 47. Thus excess liquid accumulations may be collected in the tank 44 by flowing through the monitor sump 21 and conduit 46 or by bypassing the monitor sump 21 through the conduit 43. If the periodic sampling of the contents of the monitor sump 21 indicates that a leak has occurred in the encapsulation vault, the liquid drainage can be disposed of effectively according to the nature of the contaminants. For example, the liquid may be absorbed in local earth materials and deposited as waste in a different permanent waste disposal vault in the same region. This feature provides a closed-loop containment system for correcting any faults which may develop in the vault.
The cementitious water-impermeable material which is employed in the present permanent vaults is preferably produced in situ by combining three ingredients: a cementitious additive such as Portland cement, inert fillers such as indigenous earth materials (stone, gravel, clay, sand, rocks, soil) and a moisture-containing material such as water, aqueous slurries containing suspended finely divided solids, or semiliquid sludges. The three ingredients are applied to the surface where the cementitious layer is to be located and are mixed in situ by appropriate mechanical mixing devices such as an agricultural disc harrow. The preparation of cementitious layers in this fashion is described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 165,280 filed July 2, 1980, and assigned to the assignee of the present application. In addition to Portland cement as the cementitious ingredient of the cementitious filler, it is possible to use calcium oxide, calcium sulfate hemihydrate, anhydrous calcium sulfite, other hydraulic cements. An inert particulate filler which is useful in preparing the cementitious layer is fly ash obtained from industrial processes. In general, the thickness of the cementitious layers of this permanent vault are from 6 to 18 inches thick, preferably about 12 inches thick.
The basin liner may be a water-impervious preformed film of plastic material as herein described, may be a layer of cementitious water-impermeable material, particularly where organic contaminants are to be confined within the permanent disposal vault. Where the cementitious water-impermeable layer is employed as the basin liner, the upper surface of that cementitious layer may be sprayed with a film of heavy oil such as MC-30 oil.

LER Law eNewsletter
"Our Workplaces…Learning from our Past: Assessing our Present Inventing our Future in an Ever-changing World!" Millennium Hotel Minneapolis, 1313 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55403, USA
The Labor and Employment Relations Association tapped Peter "Pete" Feuille for its Lifetime Achievement Award Monday, Dec. 8. Feuille received the award at a luncheon at the University of Illinois' School of Labor and Employment Relations, where LERA's home offices are located.
He was instrumental in relocating LERA headquarters from the University of Wisconsin to the University of Illinois in 1999. He was named LERA secretary-treasurer in January 2000. He served until November 2014.
What is LERA?The Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA) is the singular organization in the country where professionals interested in all aspects of labor and employment relations network to share ideas and learn about new developments, issues, and practices in the field. Founded in 1947 as the Industrial Relations Research Association (IRRA), the National LERA provides a unique forum where the views of representatives of labor, management, government and academics, advocates and neutrals are welcome.
The rich history of the ILR School, shaping labor-management values and impacting lives right from its start 70 years ago, is tied to the social, economic and political landscapes of the Great Depression.
That's when U.S. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, who later taught at ILR, and others led the nation into dramatic workplace change.
Legislation such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, securing wages and hours, and the National Labor Relations Act, protecting workers' rights to organize, reshaped the employer-employee relationship.

Do you understand the reason for this?
Do you think your life is all, but bliss?
Can you hear your heart calling to your mind?
Can you leave all your past fears behind?
Can you live without knowing tomorrow?
Can you believe in yourself now, without feeling hollow?
Can you live your life without hoping for better things?
Did you know you can fly without wings?
Seeing life the way I do
Looking at colours, seeing more than the hue.
Gazing at the stars, I see all eternity
My history, my past, my diversity.
The truth is we all are one
What is done, is done
Forget the future and the past.
Live each day as if it was the last.
Be here, BE right now.
It will be your day soon to take a bow.

My brother in law is vegan. My wife and I are vegetarians. I asked what vegan options were available and I was told of all the vegetarian option. Not a typo. The pasta does contain egg. I know this is a steakhouse, at that price point, you can't be ignorant. It's not classy.

I reserved their large private room for my husband's birthday for 25 people 3 weeks prior to the event. On arrival, it appears they double booked the room and my party got bumped into the main dining room sitting at a very long table. The manager did not care we were upset and incovenianced. He would not do anything to copensate us, and he told me I could always take my party and leave. With 25 people I could not leave so we ate there. The food was Ok, and the server and hostess went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The manager and sales office have very poor customer service because the sales office still has not returned my call to find out what happened.

I enjoyed my meal here. The filet mignon was cooked to order and t he mashed potatoes were good. However, my hubby's half crispy chicken was not a half and was not crispy at all. They need to improve on their bread. It was the worst I have had in a long time. Regardless, I would certainly dine here again and again.

text: The Sages of Hyrule wiki last edited by Hailinel on 01/11/14 09:34AM View full history OverviewIn the Legend of Zelda series, there is a recurring concept known as the sages of Hyrule. The identities of the sages differ depending on the generation, often drastically, and are not specifically connected by genetic lineage. The sages are charged with the task of protecting Hyrule and the Sacred Realm from the forces of evil, and in the process are frequently aided by and aid Link.Ocarina of TimeIn Ocarina of Time, Link must find and awaken the sages in the adult Link part of the game. The first sage is Rauru, who is already awakened and talks to Link immediately after his seven year slumber. The remaining five sages that Link must awaken are:Saria, Link's childhood Kokiri friend.Darunia, leader of the Gorons.Princess Ruto, of the Zoras.Impa, the Sheikah.Nabooru, of the Gerudo.Although they are often referred to as the "six sages," Princess Zelda is said to be their leader and a sage herself, making her the seventh sage. Some believe the seven sages share a connection to the seven wise men; the ancestors of the seven maidens that Link must rescue in A Link to the Past.With the exceptions of Impa and Zelda, the names of the sages were taken from town names in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Chronologically, this means that the towns were named after the sages.The Wind WakerIn The Wind Waker, there are stained glass paintings depicting the sages from Ocarina of Time in the room where the Master Sword is found, as well as a stained glass portrait of Ganon and the Triforce.Twilight PrincessIn Twilight Princess, the sages look identical to each other, with the exception of their symbol. The symbols are the same as those used by the sages in Ocarina of Time. They are faceless figures who wear masks, which are said to look similar to the faces of the Giants in Majora's Mask. Their true identities are never revealed.A Link Between WorldsIn A Link Between Worlds, the seven sages, in addition to Zelda, are targeted by Yuga and transformed into paintings, which he uses to summon and merge with the spirit of Ganon. The latter portion of the game sees Link travel through seven dungeons in order to rescue each of the sages in turn. When all seven are freed, they unite their power to present Link the Triforce of Courage.The seven sages of this generation are:Gulley, Link's friend and son of a blacksmith.Oren, queen of the Zora.Irene, an apprentice witch.Impa, Zelda's guardian.Seres, a priestess of the sanctuary.Rosso, a miner.Osfala, a disciple of Kakariko Village elder Sahasrahla.

About Us
About Minor League Baseball: a place for baseball news, draft previews and analysis, fantasy advice, independent ball, college/high school scouting, and just general baseball randomness.
About Iain: Iain used to be a budding minor league baseball radio announcer, but has since shifted to a "real job" with a "real paycheck" and "real benefits." He does not regret this decision. However, this means instead of spewing baseball nonsense over the airwaves, he now scribbles baseball nonsense on this site. Iain is MiLB Rundown's resident historian, as well as their independent baseball and MLB fantasy expert; thus most of his articles focus on those areas. He enjoys a good scotch while listening to the blues, and his apartment has many leather bound books and smells of rich mahogany.
About John: John has been writing about the draft on and off for the past four years, through various now-defunct outlets. Being a fan of the Chicago Cubs, and looking to the future for hope, the minor leagues and player development quickly became a focal point of his baseball love. Rather ironic when you look at the Cubs' history of player development (or lack thereof).

The New York Times editors, even before the revelation of her abortion advice during the Clinton administration, were nervous about the stealth nominee. They fret:
President Obama may know that his new nominee to the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, shares his thinking on the multitude of issues that face the court and the nation, but the public knows nothing of the kind. Whether by ambitious design or by habit of mind, Ms. Kagan has spent decades carefully husbanding her thoughts and shielding her philosophy from view. Her lack of a clear record on certain issues makes it hard to know whether Mr. Obama has nominated a full-throated counterweight to the court's increasingly aggressive conservative wing. … But where, precisely, has Ms. Kagan been during the legal whirlwinds of the last few years, as issues like executive power, same-sex marriage, the rights of the accused and proper application of the death penalty have raged through the courts?
Why, hiding her views to position herself for the Court, of course. It is ironic that the president, who got to office concealing his own views, now is unsettling his base for selecting someone who has concealed hers. The lefty Times editors find this most troubling:
In a 2001 Harvard Law Review article, Ms. Kagan defended a robust assertion of presidential power unless specifically limited by Congress — albeit in the service of "progressive goals" on the domestic front. She told the Senate last year that she agreed the government has the right to indefinitely detain enemy combatants captured around the world. As Mr. Obama's solicitor general, she has supported his administration's positions, little changed since the Bush administration, on the use of military force against Al Qaeda, the habeas corpus rights of military detainees and the state secrets privilege.
Conservatives may roll their eyes, convinced that no Harvard Law School dean is going to cross the left. But the issue here is the rather paranoid and perpetually aggrieved left. Obama in their eyes has been a disappointment. Indeed, it was their apathy that convinced the Democrats that they had to roll the dice on ObamaCare in order to turn out the liberal base in November. Now he gives them a nominee — for the seat of the sainted leftist Justice Stevens — who's a squish? Hmm. Obama may have been too clever by half on this. The right will probably still not embrace her, and the left will, once again, be peeved. Sort of the worst of all worlds, no?

Troy schools implement controversial new sexting policy
TROY, Mich. (WXYZ) - Troy Public School officials are implementing a new sexting policy which allows law enforcement to get involved, but civil liberties activists say it violates personal freedoms.
According to the policy, students who are on school property or attending a school event and are caught sharing, viewing or even just possessing sexually explicitly material can be punished. The policy applies to both pictures and texts.
Even if state or federal pornography laws are not broken, the district, using "reasonable suspicion" can search the student's cell phone, computer or other electronic device. Any sexting material that's found will be turned over to law enforcement.
The district, presumably, is trying to protect children, but the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan says the school has gone too far.
"While sexting can sometimes be an expression of bad judgment, it's not a crime and kids should not be criminalized for these mistakes," said Michael J. Steinberg, the legal director for the ACLU Michigan.
7 Action News reached out to Troy Public Schools for comment, but we were told nobody was available.

Below is the poem entitled World - Just you and Me which was written by poet
Cheesman. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Shaz Cheesman
If time was all I had in this world
I would spend it in many different ways with you
Time would never be measured
Every moment treasured
Nothing else would matter
Because its just me and you
Naked we walk hand in hand
Step by step barefoot on sand
The night's sky guiding our way
Warm summer breeze kisses our skin
Smooth sea creeping to the shore
Pampered feet drinking it in
Stepping to the water
Immersing ourselves within
Nipples errect, he brushes me slight
Passion and desire in our eyes
Kissing with intent and hands glide
Bodies dancing in water - entwined
Making love in the shallows of the shore
We stay until morning breaks - birds soar
Meeting the adventure of a brand new day
In a playground - a world - Just you and me

At ScoreBig, you'll save on every Utah Jazz ticket, every day. Plus with no fees and free shipping, we know you'll score some awesome seats at a great price.
The new era begins in Salt Lake City. Built around young stars with MASSIVE potential, the Utah Jazz are on the rise. The Jazz will be one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. Here's why.
Stockton to Malone
Though a decade has passed since they patrolled the court together, John Stockton and Karl Malone are surely as synonymous with the Utah Jazz as any tandem in sports history. At the heart of the Jerry Sloane-coached teams of the 90s, Stockton and Malone led the Jazz on a dominating, decade-long run capped by two consecutive Finals appearances, both losses to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.
Following the 2003 NBA season, John Stockton retired and Karl Malone signed with the Los Angeles Lakers and a new era began for the Utah Jazz. Drafting Deron Williams with the #3 overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft, the Jazz landed a worthy successor to Hall of Famer Stockton. With Carlos Boozer, Paul Milsap and Mehmet Okur down low, the Jazz were a contender once again and made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals where they lost to their longtime rivals, the San Antonio Spurs.
In the middle of the 2011 season, the Jazz parted ways with Deron Williams and the legendary Jerry Sloane resigned thus initiating the rebuilding process that should begin to bear fruit in 2013-14.
In the off-season heading into the 2013-14 season, the Utah Jazz opted not to re-sign several productive vets while continuing to build around the young talent. In the off-season of 2014, Quin Snyder was named the 8th head coach in Utah history. Paul Millsap, Mo Williams and Al Jefferson are out in favor of an insane amount (and yes, that's a technical term) of young, explosive prospects. With Derrick Favors, and 2014 draft pick Dante Exum already beginning to establish themselves in the pros, the Jazz will also feature rookies Rudy Gobert and reigning NCAA Wooden Award winner Trey Burke.
Ball Night in SLC
Sharing the rabid Utah fan base with just one other professional team, Real Salt Lake, the Jazz are an enormous source of pride in Salt Lake and beyond. Playing their home games at EnergySolutions Arena, the Jazz enjoy some of the best fan support in the league. See for yourself with ScoreBig, where you can save on every ticket, every day.

Local industry officials tout 2011 as positive year
CORPUS CHRISTI - This year is expected to be positive for the area, local industry officials said Thursday. More jobs are likely to be added, the Army depot will expand and the area will continue to benefit from oil and gas production.
"2011 won't be great, but it will be positive," said Matt Cravey, a broker with NAI Cravey Real Estate Services.
About 63 percent of companies that responded to a survey from the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corp. said they expected to add jobs, said Roland Mower, the corporation's president and CEO, during a meeting of the Corpus Christi Rotary Club. Projects such as development of the Eagle Ford Shale, an oil and gas deposit covering much of South Texas, a pipe manufacturing plant by TPCO America and the Corpus Christi Army Deposit are expected to add more jobs, he said.
"The retail sector, although picking up slowly, is picking up," Cravey said. "We don't have vacant buildings along South Padre Island Drive the way other cities do along their major highways. But engineering firms are moving in, and that's promising."
Keith Arnold, president and CEO of the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau's, said in 2010 the decline in tourism flattened and begin to recover based on hotel/motel tax revenue. Looking forward, the area would benefit from the increasing trend in intercollegiate tournaments and the demand in wind and wave events.
"We're basically a five-month market so we have seven months we need to improve on," Arnold said. "We lack interactive family activities ... things to do when beaches are closed. We have growth opportunities."
Arnold said a water park with a retractable roof which could be used year-round as well as a resort/conference center on Padre Island to compete with similar venues in the Hill Country would help attract visitors.
Although most companies are expected to fare better, lenders aren't letting go of the purse strings, which is delaying and, in many cases, stalling projects, Cravey said. That reluctance to fund projects will keep the economy from rebounding more rapidly, he said.
Changes in federal regulations also will be a challenge to businesses, Mower said. Arnold said the city is losing conventions to cities with larger venues and adjacent hotels.

Local artist, A'darius Banner, painted the Martin Luther King, Jr. mural that is outside of Taste Budz in downtown Johnson City.
Kids across the country may see today as just another day out of school, but teachers in Johnson City Schools are doing their part to educate local youths on what Martin Luther King Jr. Day is really about and the man was who behind the famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
An activist in the civil rights movement, King fought for equality without violence and is remembered each year around his Jan. 15 birthday as a significant figure in American history.
South Side Elementary School fourth-grade teachers Anita Sutherland and Andrea Perry did their instructing in a creative way by having their students write an "I Have a Dream" essay, and then recorded a class video of all their dreams for the future.
Comparing and contrasting King with poet Langston Hughes, the fourth-graders read through King's speech and through Hughes' biography. Another part of their lesson plan was reading "My Brother Martin: A Sister Remembers Growing Up with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.," written by Christine King Farris.
Sutherland and Perry said when they discuss King's life and legacy in the classroom, they focus on the civil rights movement and how he overcame adversity.
"We discuss Martin Luther King Jr. and his dream and how he made it come true and how he stood behind what he believed," Sutherland said. "We talk about today's events and what problems we have today."
Sutherland and Perry said while topics such as world peace and hunger were mentioned in many of the essays, the kids also wished for things like animal rights and an end to homelessness and bullying.
Luke Johnson, 10, wrote about how he hoped smoking, drinking and graffiti art would be illegal in the future.
"Graffiti ... cost a lot of money to erase it and so I don't want people having to spend money to erase it," Johnson said. "For smoking, it's going to hurt your lungs anyway, so why would you smoke? Alcohol ... can mess with your mind and you could do a lot of illegal things."
Another fourth-grader had his eye on the world. Joe Johnston, 10, hoped for a future where people would stop killing and abusing one another because of their religious beliefs.
"I got the inspiration because I was at my church and we were having this ... meeting and we were talking about North Korea and how these people are getting abused and treated badly," Johnston said. "My action plan (to stop the abuse and killing) would just be to have speeches all around the world. I would just go to North Korea straight away and I would help out in any way I could."
He said he enjoyed and learned a lot from this assignment.
"I learned that ... no matter who you are, or what color you are, to never give up," Johnston said.
Sharing the video with the rest of the school during an assembly Friday, the fourth-graders smiled brightly as they watched themselves and their classmates recite their dreams.
"They're very passionate about their dreams," Perry said. "It's amazing to see what they think the issues are with their dreams. They had a brainstorming session — my kids — and they had some peer conferences where they talked with one another about some of the issues.
"I had a few girls who felt like there should be a female president and so they just took that to a whole new level. They came up with the ideas on their own. I think they're finding their independence at this age, and to feel like they can really make a difference really makes an impact on them."
Sutherland said because of their students' ages, they didn't dive into King's assassination, but "focused on how he believed in non-violence. He fought with his words. Everyone listened to his words."
On Saturday, a group of girls — six from Science Hill High School and one from University School — braved the cold temperatures to pose for a picture in front of a King-inspired mural outside Taste Budz in downtown Johnson City.
Putting together a diverse group of girls, Marissa Jay White-Quarles said she enlisted the help of her friend and fellow SHHS senior Stephen Street to take the girls' portrait.
"We all got together to represent the dream Martin Luther King Jr. had and basically just showing unity," White-Quarles said. "We're all wearing white shirts and jeans ... to symbolize that we're all the same and we're letting ourselves (our ethnicity) be the thing that's different."
Each of the girls represented one or more ethnicities, which included Indian, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Puerto Rican, African-American, Portuguese, Korean and Caucasian.
Choosing to stand in front of the mural — which has stenciled images of King and the words "I Have a Dream" expressed in urban art — as the location for the group shot was a no-brainer, White-Quarles said.
"I couldn't think of a better location ... because it's a part of Johnson City that I think is just gorgeous," she said. "The point that we're trying to get across is unity and just being diverse, but being united at the same time. Although a lot of people want to say it's 2014, we have a black president, we've obviously come a long way. We have, but we can keep going. There's always room for improvement."
White-Quarles said she views King as a role model and a hero.
"He's an inspiration because he did more than just be a black man," she said. "He really valued the human race. He did so much for everyone."
Even though the federal holiday will have come and gone, contemporary issues and critical minds teacher Kayla Wilson at Science Hill said she'll be holding a discussion with her classes about King on Tuesday.
"We'll definitely read his 'I Have a Dream' speech and I'm hoping to pull out some other texts, like his letter from jail and things like that, but then we're going to be able to have discussions about not even just him and his life, but how he handled things," Wilson said.
"This topic is such an important one to bring in the classroom. I think they know a lot about him, just because all throughout elementary school and middle school, you do talk about him when the day rolls around in January.
"What I really love being able to do with high schoolers is we can take it to a higher level and we talk about things that are a little touchier that you can't talk about when you have a classroom full of 12-year-olds," she said.
"We can talk about the issue of race. Do we still feel like racism is alive in this area? Do we see it in our communities? How do you deal with that? Those are things that I wouldn't feel comfortable talking about with younger children, but with my high schoolers, they're ready to talk about that and they want to."
On her lesson plan for Tuesday, Wilson said she plans to show footage of the March on Washington and King's speech. She said the students also will dive into reading other speeches and primary source documents to give them a better understanding of the time period and context.
"I just hope that we can talk about him and talk about the impact he's had on America today," Wilson said. "I think they're going to take away a lot from it. I think they're going to realize this isn't one of those things we talk about that happened 200 years ago and isn't relevant anymore. This isn't like the War of 1812 or the French and Indian War. This is something that (happened approximately) 50 years ago. It makes it hit a little closer to home, I think."

MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Shadesticks Review, Photos, Swatches
MAC Shadesticks: Relaxed, Warm & Cozy, Nurture, Cuddle
MAC Warm & Cozy Collection: Shadesticks
MAC is definitely bringing back shadesticks with a vengeance, don't you think? With five limited edition shades from Sugarsweet and four new (but still limited edition) shades from Warm & Cozy, it makes me wonder if we'll be seeing more of these in 2010.
- Relaxed is a deep, chocolate bronze with a soft frost finish. It has the least frosty finish out of the four, but it's still noticeably shimmery and has that frost edge associated with frost textures. I thought this was the most pigmented and smoothest of the bunch as well.
- Warm & Cozy is a burnt copper shade with sparkly glitter particles. I actually felt like this had a very chunky, gritty texture–it wasn't a winner for me. Shadesticks should be smooth, and I didn't find that this one was nearly as smooth as I'd expect. It felt like a lustre eyeshadow almost, with the way the glitter flecks were so obvious.
- Nurture is a pink champagne with a neutral feel. It's not a bright, nor pastel, pink and it looks very fleshy-pink-beige in a way. It has the same frost finish appearance as the other shadesticks in the launch.
- Cuddle is a frosty white-gold with yellow daffodil feel. It definitely has a frost finish, and since it is so light, yet covers well, it would make an excellent base as well.

Settled Gainsborough Trinity are on the up, says in-form Paul Connor
Posted: October 26, 2012|
Paul Connor believes Gainsborough Trinity have the versatility to charge into promotion contention for the second successive season.
Connor scored twice as the Blues stated their credentials by holding Blue Square Bet North leaders Brackley to a 2-2 draw last weekend.
The resulted extended Trinity's unbeaten run in the league to five games ahead of back-to-back home matches against struggling pair Workington and Hinckley.
After a solid if unspectacular start to the season, Connor says Gainsborough are hitting their stride and ready to bridge the gap to the play-off places, which currently stands at three points.
"Our start to the season was okay. It was always going to take time to settle because we've got new players and a new style of play," said Connor.
"We're playing a bit more football this season, which I think you can play at this level now.
"With the amount of quality players that are dropping out of the Football League, a few teams are trying to play good football.
"But we've also got the other side to our game. Sometimes you need to be direct, particularly when the pitches are not so good.
"You've got to be adaptable and I believe we've got the players to do that."
Last Saturday, Connor struck either side of Brackley's goals, scored by Glenn Walker and Owen Story.
While a point represented a welcome return for Gainsborough, Connor and his manager Steve Housham were left slightly disappointed they did not take all three.
"We would have taken a point before the game," admitted Connor.
"But after the way the game panned out, we perhaps could have won it.
"If Brackley are the benchmark then we've got nothing to worry about. There's no reason why we can't be up there ourselves."
Housham added: "A draw against the leaders looks a good result, but on reflection I was a little disappointed we didn't win the game.
"We hit the bar twice and had plenty of other chances.
"We played very well. We've got players back from injury and we've got good competition in the side at the moment."

SGE reached the DFB Cup quarter finals winning 4-2 against Bundesliga 2 outfit SV Sandhausen. Joselu (19'/49' PEN/90'+2) and Kadlec (72') scored for Eintracht, Rode (64' OG) and Tüting (66') for SV.

The Eagles quickly built u plenty of ball possession and had various attempts (Rode, Joselu, Kadlec). The 2. Bundesliga side also had a big chance to score the lead when Thiede and Stiefler were through on goal but the latter was not able to control the ball SGE were lucky in this case.
At the other end Kadlec had another go with a header which was saved by Sandhausen keeper Riemann (17), minutes later the Czech striker neatly set up Joselu who converted from close range 1-0 (19)! Eintracht now seemed fully in control with Sandhausen creating little danger going forward, hey had a few long range shots but to no effect, at the other end it was once again Joselu who missed the target by a few inches (26). The deserved 1-0 lead stood at the break.
SGE came forward right from the re-start and Inui was awarded a penalty early on when he was brought down at the edge of the box. As Alex Meier was out with an injury Joselu stepped up and coolly converted from the spot 2-0 (49)! This seemed like a safety cushion and the Eagles in full control of the happenings. It all changed though within the blink of the eye when Rode received a risky pass in the own box while under pressure, tried to play it back to keeper Trapp but put it into the own goal (64). And even worse, after a corner Tüting volleyed in from the edge of the box and the match was even again (66) unbelievable scenes.
It took a while until SGE recovered from these blows but they came back. Rode set up Kadlec who hit home from around 20 meters in front of goal and the crowd celebrated the lead with great relief (72). As the Bundesliga 2 outfit came forward pushing for the equalizer Eintracht had more space to create chances on the break. Oczipka (79), Flum (80) and Inui came (81) close, the latter even hit the post, but it was again Joselu who found the target again set up by Rode (90+2). The Eagles in the end reached the quarter finals in a rollercoaster cup match against a lively Sandhausen team.
