The VX Cruiser from Yamaha is an affordable way to get maximum fun on the water, with comfort for the long haul.
The VX Line Redux...
This is textbook Yamaha marketing. Boating families want to get on the water for short money and Yamaha is stepping up to deliver. Their VX line is surprisingly affordable but not lacking in performance or style. These are PWCs made by people who get on the water with regular Joes and listen to what those folks want in a wet day on the water. So it's no surprise that they've re-engineered the VX lineup to keep those customer feedbacks squarely in mind. For example, the hulls have been stretched four inches at a point just abaft the steering column. This gives a better, more comfortable feel to the handlebars, and allows for a more comfortable stance for your feet.
Check out the comfortable cruiser seat. The hull has been stretched to give better comfort at the handlebars as well as better positioning of your feet. Note the trademark Yamaha waterspout at the stern to make you more visible to other boaters.
Next, Yamaha added to the stern platform making it larger and easier to re-board as well as use for a launching pad for swimming, diving, or boarding a tube.
Then they loaded in a 1052cc four-stroke four-cylinder power plant driving a 155mm high pressure pump.
Other New Details...
The mirrors were then raised up out of the "hit zone" when docking, and now they're also easier to see what's going on behind you as they're at a much more natural height.
Throw in a whopping 15.1 gal (57 L) of storage and you have a package that's ideal for a family aching to get on the water for a fraction of the price of a sportboat. And because they're so light, they can be towed to the water behind almost anything short of a motorcycle. But... the most notable feature about all watercraft from Yamaha... everything is built by Yamaha. That means that if something should go wrong with your waverunner, Yamaha will stand behind it with no finger pointing to outside vendors.
The VX Cruiser...
At the top of the food chain is the VX Cruiser. Not only is the VX Cruiser built up, it's loaded with standard features, beginning with the remote transmitter. This device not only prevents unauthorized starts, but also lets you limit the rpms for better fuel economy. (This clever device also helps keep the kids from getting into trouble, but don't tell them that).
The reboarding step makes getting back onboard after a spill a cinch, and it retracts neatly away when not in use. But the best new feature is the comfortable cruiser seat. This is clearly a waverunner that is not only fun to thrash around in, but take off on the long haul with. It's that comfortable.
The VX Cruiser is also roomy enough for three people (so long as they are relatively trim).
The VX Cruiser is 128.7" (3.27 m) long, 46.1" (1.17 m) wide, and she's 45.7" (1.16 m) high. Her dry weight is only 750 lbs (340 kg) and she carries 15.9 gal (60 L) of fuel.
And now for the good news... you can have this Yamaha VX Cruiser in your garage for as little as $9,599. As we have said for years, everyone ought to have a PWC, and now everyone should be able to afford it.

DENVER (AP) - Denver police say two children under 10 years old and a woman were killed and a third child was wounded in an apparent shooting at a house in the northeast part of the city.
Police Lt. Matt Murray says that child is in critical condition.
Investigators are waiting for a warrant to re-enter the house.
Murray says it appears to have been an isolated shooting and there's no indication the shooter is still on the loose.
The neighborhood is in an industrial area, surrounded by warehouses and a trucking terminal, near the National Western Stock Show complex.

Greasing of dirt wipers
On suspension forks there are dirt wipers at the openings of the stanchions whose job it is to wipe away dirt as the stanchion telescopes into the slider.
These dirt wipers are lubricated automatically from inside do not require any additional lubrication.
If, however, you wish to lubricate the dirt wipers, squirt a little fork lube onto them.
It is sufficient to clean off any excess dirt on the stanchions thoroughly with a clean dry cloth after every ride.

|Three Structures Burn--Two Destroyed
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 11 May 2011 06:11
At about 12:45 this morning, a Watauga County house— almost in Tennessee—was found on fire and was fully engulfed when fire units arrived. The call was on Bear Track Lane, a narrow road that left firefighters without the option of a large tanker to fight the fire, causing Zionville and Beaver Dam fire departments,
called to the scene, to have to resort to smaller trucks to get to the structure. The house was totaled in the fire.

JBiRD iNK started out as a one-man illustration and design firm with its corporate office located in the upstairs bedroom of a split level home in Peru, Illinois. Founder Jason Kotecki started the company in 1998 after graduating from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Illustration. Jason did a variety of freelance work for a wide range of clients.
It began as a young man's attempt to win over his best girl…Jason Kotecki first drew his lovable characters for his girlfriend Kim while they were dating. The couple shared a kindred childlike spirit, and Jason used the drawings, which represented the couple as children, on many homemade gifts designed to win her heart. He not only won her heart but also her hand in marriage.
The characters have since taken on lives of their own and the "real" Kim and Jason have built a company to share the comic strip and its inspiring message. A portion of each sale goes to support organizations that help meet the needs and improve the lives of children around the world. Since its humble beginnings, JBiRD iNK has evolved to more closely match Jason's long-term goals. JBiRD iNK, Ltd. is now located in Madison, Wisconsin, and has broadened its scope and shifted its focus. It is dedicated to impacting culture by entertaining, inspiring, and encouraging people to renew their childlike spirit and believe in their dreams through various forms of media.

It was a pitch that Ben Blackburn was ready to knock out of the park.
It was a question from a scout from Troop 280, who had come to witness the workings of local government at the Wellington City Council meeting.
When Mayor Blackburn asked if there were questions, the scout said he and his fellow 11-year-olds had noticed that traffic moved fast along Highway 6 and that kids had to cross that busy street to get to and from the city park and ball parks to play.
"Couldn't someone build a bridge so people could walk across?" he asked.
Blackburn was ready for that one. A bridge would be too expensive, he said, but he's going to meet with state transportation officials next week to make the city's - and the scout's - case for a traffic signal.
Maybe the city won't get a timed signal because there isn't enough cross-traffic, but what something that could be actuated by a pedestrian would work, he said.
He said the city has been trying for a long time to get a signal, and now that Duchesne is getting two of them, it's Wellington's turn.

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
"I sure wish global warming would hurry up and get here," Uncle Spud said as he warmed his hands over a steaming cup of church approved Postum.
"You don't really believe that global warming stuff?" I asked.
"I've been hearing a lot about it," he said. "The news people say global warming is coming like a heat wave tsunami that's sure to cook our goose."
"Where are they getting their information?" I asked.
"From the scientists," he answered.
"Are we talking about real scientists or political scientists?" I asked. "It seems to me, there is a whole lot of political correctness involved in the global warming thing."
"They must be weather scientists," Uncle Spud said.
"Mark Snowbank, the TV weather guy, claims to be a weather scientist, and he can't tell me what the weather will be like tomorrow afternoon," I said with an air of perfect smugness. "The guy is 80 percent correct about 10 percent of the time. How can he pretend to know what the weather will be like in 10 years, or a 100 years from now?"
"It happened before," Uncle Spud said.
"Global warming happened before?" I echoed.
"Yup, it happened before," he said. "In fact, it has happened dozens of times before."
"Tell me about it," I said, as I poured another cup of hot Postum and settled down to hear what he had to say.
"Well," Uncle Spud began, "The weather is always changing. There have been alternating cold and hot spells over the past millions of years. It will be cold for a few thousands of years and then hot for a few thousands of years. The weather never stays the same for very long."
He continued.
"There have been several ice ages in the past when a great deal of the earth's water was tied up in ice sheets a mile or more thick. Some of those ice sheets extended as far south as the Elmo frontier. There are actually glacial moraines and glacial valleys along the Wasatch mountain range. It was real cold here when that woolly mammoth in the CEU museum was living in Huntington Canyon."
"So where did all that ice go?" I asked
"It all melted when global warming began," he said.
"You mean we are living in a time of global warming now?" I asked.
"That's right," Uncle Spud said, "we've been in a period of global warming for a few thousands of years, and the world might be getting warmer still."
"Is that a problem?" I asked innocently.
"It could be," he said. "If the polar ice keeps melting like it has for the past several centuries, the oceans might cover the boardwalks in Atlantic City. The rising water might get New York and Honolulu, too."
"What can we do about it?" I asked.
"The green people want you to give up your sport utility vehicle and the gas water heater in your home," he said.
"What will that accomplish?" I asked.
"Probably nothing," Uncle Spud admitted, "but it would make the green people happy. They don't like SUVs and gas wells. They want the whole world to be wilderness like the great white north."
"If alternating periods of global warming and ice ages have been happening for millions of years, how am I going to fix anything by giving up my pickup truck?" I asked.
"The green people and their scientists say that exhaust from your car and gas water heater are filling the atmosphere with green house gases," Uncle Spud said. "That causes global warming."
"Now wait just a minute," I said. "If we've had a period of global warming for a few thousands of years, that means the world was warming up before we had SUVs and gas water heaters."
"That's true," Uncle Spud said. "The hot and cold weather cycles have happened dozens of times over millions of years."
"So what caused green house gases and global warming before we had cars and gas water heaters?" I asked.
"No one knows for sure, but it might have been volcanoes," Uncle Spud said with a big grin.
"Well, that settles it," I said. "Get Jane Fonda and Michael Moore on the phone and tell them I pledge to do my part to help fight global warming. I promise not to start, or to participate, in any volcanic activity here on the wasatch behind."

I am guessing it is some command/cvar in my config which is causing this but I have no idea which one. Anyone know how to fix this or experienced this before?

Reserve Policy and Copyright Information
Reserve Policy and Copyright Information
Kent State University Libraries Reserves Policy
University Libraries (UL) provides access to both print and electronic reserves. Reserve Services' goal is to insure that required or supplemental reading materials are available and accessible to students in an expedient manner, while complying with United States Copyright Law and applicable guidelines.
Quality of Materials
Submission of good-quality copies, such as original or first-generation scans or photocopies, is highly recommended for better screen viewing and faster processing. All submitted materials are returned to faculty after processing is completed. Every effort is made to return all materials in their original condition. However, circumstances may prevent the return of the materials in their original condition because of spiral binding, binding becomes loose, heavy duty staples, etc.
Required Lead Time for Processing
Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please allow a minimum of one week for processing. Every effort will be made to accommodate all requests in a timely manner. Because of the high volume of reserves traffic at the beginning of each semester, faculty are encouraged to submit materials as early as possible.
Required Forms
To expedite processing of requests, appropriate forms need to be filled out for each course and for all materials. Forms must be accurately completed with required information, including course and course number, course section number, call number, etc. Forms that are submitted with copies of library books, journal articles, books, etc. are processed with minimum delays. Incomplete forms will delay processing.
- Print forms are available in the Reserve Services Office.
- A complete online request system for Reserves is available. This combines all the individual forms into one complete online system.
- PDFs (portable document format) of the print forms are available for download, along with individual online forms.
Course Status Cards
Each instructor will receive course status cards for previous courses prior to the beginning of Fall and Spring semesters only. These cards are Reserve Services' means of communication regarding continuation of courses or changes to courses. Prompt reply ensures courses are ready in time for the beginning of the semester. For Summer course reserves, please contact Reserve Services.
Copyright Guidelines, Fair Use, and TEACH Act
In accordance with the standard Copyright practice, up to 10% of the total page count will be copied and placed on electronic reserve. If curricular needs exceed this amount, faculty have the option to place a Kent State University Libraries' material or personal copy of the original book on reserve.
UL may consider placement of copyrighted materials on electronic reserves as fair use or as compliant with the TEACH Act under United States Copyright Law. Multiple uses of the same materials for the same course may require copyright clearance. Some materials, including multimedia, may require copyright clearance prior to being placed on reserve.
Staff reserves the right to decline requests judged to exceed fair use or TEACH Act exemptions of U.S. Copyright Law. Reserve Services will routinely monitor this policy and make every effort to ensure that UL is in compliance with U.S. Copyright Law, applicable guidelines, and best practices.
Copyright Clearance Fees
Reserve Services makes every effort to minimize copyright clearance costs. For example, links to licensed full-text electronic resources may be provided in lieu of uploading a PDF. This reduces copyright costs but may require students to authenticate for off-campus access.
UL will pay up to $500 in copyright clearance fees per semester, per course, regardless of the number of faculty teaching, the number of course sections, or student enrollment. Student enrollment for each course is required for Reserve Services staff to determine copyright fees. This amount is subject to change by UL at any time. Faculty will be notified if their copyright clearance fees are approaching or exceed $500.
Academic units are responsible for copyright clearance fees that exceed $500 only if the faculty member chooses to maintain those materials on Reserve. Subject Librarians are available by appointment to assist in locating alternative, similar materials with lower or no copyright clearance costs.
Copyright Clearance Denials
Reserve Services staff will notify faculty via email or telephone regarding refusal of the publisher to grant copyright clearance. After faculty are notified of copyright denial, material will be removed from the course. Faculty may discuss other options with Reserve Services or seek the assistance of Subject Librarians in locating alternative materials.
Original Works by Faculty
Faculty authorship does not automatically indicate faculty copyright ownership of articles published in scholarly journals or of chapters contributed to books or encyclopedias. Reserve Services will seek copyright permissions unless proof of ownership can be provided.
Original Works by Students
Kent State students own the copyright to any original works produced for classes. These materials are subject to the same copyright guidelines as published materials. UL requires copyright permission in the form of a waiver to be signed by the student after the first semester's use or if the amount of the material is judged to exceed fair use. If no copyright permission is obtained by faculty from students, faculty may be held liable for copyright infringement. For more information, see Copyright for Student Authors.
Portable Document Format (PDF)
Most documents will be converted to PDF files that can be viewed and printed across computing platforms (e.g., Windows and Macintosh). Other file formats may be submitted, including image files such as gif, jpeg, etc. Links to licensed full-text electronic resources may be provided in lieu of uploading a PDF; this may require students to authenticate for off-campus access.
Course lists and contents are password protected to help abide by U.S. Copyright Law. Passwords are changed each semester by Reserve Services. Passwords will be provided only to students currently enrolled in the course, or to faculty currently teaching the course.
Access to Inactive Courses
Due to U.S. Copyright Law, Reserve Services cannot provide access to the materials in inactive courses or courses not currently being taught. However, lists of bibliographic citations for course materials will be provided. Materials may be obtained at the Libraries, through OhioLINK, or through Interlibrary Loan. Reserve Services will only keep five years of inactive electronic reserve courses and its materials. Faculty wishing to review their inactive course and its materials within that time frame should contact Reserve Services. Demonstrations of Electronic Reserves to accreditation teams should be arranged with Subject Librarians.
Access to Other Faculty Member's Courses
If a secondary faculty member wishes to access a primary faculty member's active course, it is the secondary faculty's responsibility to contact the primary faculty for course access approval. Reserve Services will require approval directly from the primary faculty who established the course.
Full-text Content in HTML Format
To decrease copyright clearance fees and processing time, every effort will be made to search for electronic materials licensed for electronic reserve use. Links to licensed full-text electronic resources may be provided in lieu of uploading a PDF; this may require students to authenticate for off-campus access If PDF files are not available, HTML files, which may not contain graphical content (photographs, tables, charts, etc.) will be used only with faculty approval.
Electronic Books
Electronic books can be placed on electronic reserves only in the form of links. Some electronic books require "checkout" in order to view, and simultaneous checkouts may be restricted. Links to individual chapters may not be technologically possible. Many electronic book sites require students to authenticate for off-campus access.
Off-site web links
As part of electronic reserve, Reserve Services can include links to web sites. However, off-site links on electronic reserve pages are not routinely tested. If off-site web links are reported to Reserve Services as non-working, faculty will be contacted for current or alternative links.
For requests to place streaming video or other media material on electronic reserve, faculty are asked to contact Reserve Services. These requests require a minimum of two weeks processing time.
Blackboard Learn
Reserve Services provides instructions for linking electronic reserves to your Blackboard Learn course.
Library or Personal Copies of Materials
Physical materials (books, DVDs, etc.) may be placed on print reserve if they are owned by Kent State University or by the faculty placing them on reserve. There is no limit placed on the number of physical materials on reserve per course. Personal copies will be labeled, barcoded, and sensitized to meet library system and security requirements. Copyright clearance is not required for physical materials placed on print reserve. Several loan types exist to suit the needs of the course or material type.
Extended Check-out of Reserve Materials
Faculty who wish to check out materials on reserve for use in class are asked to contact Reserve Services to arrange extended loan periods. Students must contact course instructors for permission for extended loan periods. If materials are on reserve for more than one course, extended loan periods may not be granted.
Reference and Special Collections Materials
Materials in the library's Reference Collection or in Special Collections will NOT be placed on reserve. Second copies purchased especially for reserve or personal copies may be placed on reserve instead.
OhioLINK or Interlibrary Loan Materials
Materials borrowed through OhioLINK or Interlibrary Loan will NOT be placed on reserve. Materials may be purchased for reserve instead.
Purchasing Requested Materials
Materials can be ordered by faculty to be placed on reserve by contacting the appropriate Subject Librarian. Faculty should notify Reserve Services regarding the purchase to facilitate processing.
Removing Materials
Faculty may request to have their materials removed or inactivated from reserve at any time during the semester by notifying Reserve Services. Reserve Services staff may request faculty remove materials from reserve due to lack of use by students. Personal copies of materials will be returned to the faculty via campus mail, unless other arrangements were made in advance with Reserve Services.

Although temperatures have continued to drop as the month progresses, Carbon High cross country runners didn't benefit from the cooler weather during the state cross country tournament.
Runners battled weather in excess of 85 degrees during the Sugarhouse Park run in Salt Lake City.
Carbon girls finished in 14th place as a team and Carbon boys finished 15th.
Melanie Madsen had the top finish of the two teams, taking home ninth place.
Elizabeth Brooks took 79th place, Brittany Horrocks came in 85th and Ashley Anderson followed in 86th. Mikaleen Loveless finished 93rd.
For the boys team, David Goodrich took 66th place with younger brother Paul finishing in 71st.
Zac Burdick crossed the line in 98th place, with Bo Christensen in 101st and Tyler Munns in 103rd.
Two runners were also honored with academic awards for their excellent performance in the classroom.
Madsen and Joe Harber both received Academic All Region Awards for the 2003 season.
Coach Stewart Foster said that although the team didn't finish high out of the 15 teams competing, the kids should be proud of their accomplishment of making it to state and doing well in the region race.
"We had a great year rebuilding our team," Foster commented. "We look forward to a stronger year to come."

The Venus Bass Trap achieves a prodigious level of low-frequency sound control at your room boundaries, where low-frequency problems begin, at a price that allows it to fit into most budgets. Venus Bass Traps ship in a 2'x4'x12" size, but are often cut in half to 2'x2', then paired with a 12" CornerFill.
While the Venus Bass Trap provides low frequency sound control and broad bandwidth absorption that's second to none in all rooms, it really shines in larger rooms like gymnasiums, houses of worship, and multipurpose rooms.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

The report strongly criticised the BBC's handling of allegations of child sex abuse against Savile but cleared the corporation of a cover-up. The report sparked the resignation of the BBC's deputy director of news, Stephen Mitchell, and led to the editor and deputy editor of the current affairs programme Newsnight at the centre of the scandal being replaced.

Since falling out of the rotation and becoming a seldom-used third stringer, Eric Maynor has logged just 20 minutes in the past 10 games.
He now enters Friday's road game against the rival yet reeling Los Angeles Lakers at a crossroad.
Since falling out of the rotation and becoming a seldom-used third stringer, Eric Maynor has logged just 20 minutes in the past 10 games.
He now enters Friday's road game against the rival yet reeling Los Angeles Lakers at a crossroad.
Maynor has appeared in only five of the past 10 contests, and the majority of those sparse minutes have come in mop-up duty.
But rather than agreeing to a D-League assignment simply for playing purposes as he continues to regain his rhythm from last year's devastating knee injury that cost him the final 57 games and the entire playoffs, Maynor said he prefers to remain on the Thunder roster.
"No," Maynor said emphatically, repeating it two additional times, when asked if he had any desire for a D-League assignment to the Tulsa 66ers. "I get good court work in every day so I'm going to be straight whenever the opportunity comes back around."
Thunder coach Scott Brooks transitioned the primary backup point guard spot to Reggie Jackson in the second half of a six-point road loss to Minnesota on Dec. 20. Jackson, the second-year guard out of Boston College, has exhibited growth after struggling in the role as a rookie when thrust into emergency duty following Maynor's injury.
After proclaiming throughout training camp that the backup spot was an open competition, Brooks gave Maynor an initial 25-game trial to maintain his position. He couldn't. Maynor averaged 3.5 points on 30.9 percent shooting and 2.4 assists against 0.9 turnovers in his first 25 games. Unlike previous seasons, when he made playmaking look easy, Maynor struggled to initiate the offense and set up teammates for easy scores.
The Thunder, however, is just 6-4 since Jackson supplanted Maynor and the second unit has at times been just as shaky as it was when Maynor manned the position. But when Brooks recently expressed satisfaction with the job Jackson has done, it left a cloud hanging over Maynor and when he might get another shot to run the show in the second string.
In the meantime, the D-League appears to be a logical temporary location for Maynor. No longer considered a demotion, the D-League has increasingly become a hotbed for player development. The Thunder has been at the forefront of the movement.
In previous years, fourth-year players like Maynor were prohibited from being assigned to the D-League. Only players in their first and second seasons could be sent down and only a maximum of three times. But under the new collective bargaining agreement, veterans who give their consent are now allowed to be sent to the D-League. New York recently started off Amar'e Stoudemire, a perennial All-Star and 11-year veteran, in the D-League after he missed the Knicks' first 30 games while recovering from a knee injury.

Bernie Quigley, writing at the Pundit's Blog for The Hill on Wednesday, considered the fiscal cliff bill that became the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) as a "touchstone … a benchmark … to mark the progress of history." He considers the law as a
sea change and two to watch at the quiet turning of the tides today are Rand Paul and Mike Lee, Senators from Kentucky and Utah, who voted against the fateful "fiscal cliff" agenda last night.
The century might start this year with them.
He added that these two junior senators, supported by Tea Party conservatives and remaining loyal to and consistent with its beliefs and principles, "have brought the Tea Party's passionate rants to responsible and effectively engaged government … both of them should have their eyes on the Oval Office in 2016."
It's possible that Paul, the son of retiring House member Ron Paul (R-Texas), has had his eye on that prize long before he voted against ATRA. Just a few days after the November election, Paul was asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl about his presidential ambitions for 2016 and Paul responded:
Am I interested in thinking about that? Yes.
I'm not going to deny that I think we have to go in a different direction because we're just not winning.
Scarcely a week later Paul was interviewed by CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin where he clarified and expanded on his thinking about 2016:
I want to be part of the national debate. I think my party, the Republican Party, is shrinking. We're in danger of becoming a dinosaur.
We're not competitive in huge areas of the country. Some of the biggest states: California, New York, Illinois … we're not competing there anymore. In fact, we don't even advertise there.
So we need a new type of Republican. I think that involves some of the ideas of Libertarian-leaning Republicans: people who believe in a less aggressive foreign policy, people who believe that we're not going to deport 12 million Hispanic folks.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
While Carbon County appears to be experiencing a period of economic prosperity, community leaders reminded citizens last week that many sources of funding for local government are in the form of revenue which could dry up at any time.
"We're pretty well allocated out for 2006 and most of 2007," said Carbon County Commissioner Michael Milovich at a community economic development public input meeting last Thursday evening at Creekview Elementary School.
Delynn Fielding, Carbon economic development director, encouraged county residents and local leaders to consider the value of proposed projects.
After minerals are gone and the money is spent, Fielding asked whether the county will have frittered away its birthright or built something beneficial for future generations?
A significant amount of the money made available in the past few years to the county has been in the form of mineral lease revenues, noted Milovich.
Dollar amounts that have been available to the county were high in 2005 because of the price of gasoline.
However, as the prices begin to fall, entities looking to benefit from energy-related funds should expect to see funds drop.
Various local officials, including Milovich, sit on the state panel that oversees much of the energy related funds that filter into the county, the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board. The CIB distributes millions of dollars annually.
The other significant source of the mineral lease royalty funds is run on a local level by the Carbon County Recreation and Transportation Special Service District.
Counties in the state that do not benefit from the energy royalties attempt every year to get the Utah Legislature to redistribute the funds to the areas, pointed out Milovich. And with a stroke of a pen, the mineral lease funding could be gone.
"Don't spend it before it gets here," said Milovich.
Many of the issues that county and other elected officials face relate directly to the funds that the county has benefited from during the past few years.
For example, the gas industry is changing in the area. Energy industry officials report that production in the Drunkards Wash area has been declining. As a result, officials are looking for another resource that will replace it once production halts in the region.
County leaders look to the Nine Mile Canyon region as such an area.
Last year, hundreds of wells in the Drunkards Wash area produced 108 million cubic feet of gas per day.
With 16 wells in operation at the site, Bill Barrett Corporation has reported production levels of 53 million cubic feet per day near Nine Mile Canyon.
Milovich pointed out that most of the county projects currently in progress have increased by 25 percent before work begins.
Local community leaders and local officials addressed a variety of improvements around the county. Some are well into construction phases and others are still in the conceptual stage. Many of the project are using or are planning to use CIB and special service district funds to finance work.
One project that is in the conceptual stage is a proposal by the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum to build a garden of prehistoric plants that would have existed millions of years ago in the Castle Valley region. Reece Barrick, director of the museum said the facility would be the largest mesozoic garden in the world and the first of its kind in the United States.
The project is still in its early planning stages and many issues relating to whether it will materialize are still very much in the air. Still, project planners estimate that the cost would be approximately $4.3 million. That would cover the costs for the greenhouse and plants, surrounding land and parking.
Project planners noted that the facility would have a unique educational and research value that would draw outside visitors into the area. Barrick estimated that the garden would attract as many as 80,000 to 100,000 visitors annually to the region, translating into millions of dollars in economic benefit to the area
Price Mayor Joe Piccolo gave an update on the community arts foundation that was conceived more than a year ago. At this time last year, the foundation looked like it was a sure thing. However, Piccolo said plans have been upset.
"The foundation has had a bit of a struggle," said the mayor, without elaborating into details.
He said that until the foundation can become functional, an arts board has been created with oversight from Price city. At present, that board is being formed and community leaders are looking for representatives to sit on the board.
The first challenge board members will face is creating a vision of that the board hopes to accomplish and create bylaws. Once the board is operational, Piccolo said the goal is to operate and maintain around 20 pieces of outdoor art around the community.
In previous discussions regarding the foundation, the mayor said the foundation would likely oversee the raptor north of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum and the kokopelli sculpture at 100 West and Main Street in Price. There have been discussions of other pieces that are already standing that the foundation could oversee. The foundation could administer other works as they are created.
"I'd like to see the outdoor art pieces spread from Scofield to East Carbon," said Piccolo. He said the purpose of the board was to create a foundation that would cross political boundaries and work to maintain art in all of the communities in the Carbon County area.
For now, those responsibilities will be left up to the city board. Many questions, including which pieces the board will administer are up in the air until the board solidifies. Piccolo said he hopes the board's responsibilities are taken over by the foundation at a later date.
He also said that there has been some interest in creating a fund that could be used for commissioning new pieces. Piccolo said that sum could grow in his estimation to $200,000 at any given time and would be funded primarily by private donors. the mayor also explained that one donor has already contributed to that cause.
Susan Polster and Jeannie McEvoy gave an update on the progress of the the community playground at Terrace Hills Park in Price, which will cover a half acre and climb to two stories in some areas. Polster and McEvoy are both on the planning committee for the playground. The design features themes from the area and separate areas for toddlers and older kids. The playground community is currently looking for grants and donations to cover the $170,000 price tag associated with construction.
Carbon County Recreation Director Steve Christensen confirmed a question that was settled some years ago when community officials explored the option of connecting helper and Price with a parkway along Price River. Christensen said that approximately 130 land owners stand in the way of the parkway becoming a reality. He explained that eminent domain laws have changed after the legislative session and recent court decisions. As a result, the parkway may become easier to develop.
Christensen noted that while any plans for the parkway remain on hold, the county's multi-use trail is in the development process and is likely to become a reality much sooner.
Helper Mayor Mike Dalpiaz gave an update on various projects happening within his city.
"We have a pool project, and it's underfunded," said the mayor, beginning with one of the larger projects happening in Helper.
The pool, originally estimated to cost just under the $1 million mark has now grown to more the $1.2 million, and is likely to grow to at least $1.3 million before it's finished.
The city has faced trouble after demolition crews unearthed a second pool below the one they went in to remove. Questions about ground stability led city officials to explore other options. Space constraints limit the city's ability to build the pool farther north in the park. Soil conditions ruled out another option farther up the hill by the city's cemetery. As a result, the city is back to where it started. The pool will be built where the old pool and tennis courts stood.
Dalpiaz said the Rio Theater is up and running. in the past couple of months, the city facility has hosted performances by Carbon High School's jazz band and drum line as well as presentations by community story tellers and professional writers.
He addressed questions that were raised last year when Helper revealed that it may be forced to default on funding from the U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development in the form of a community development block grant.
Dalpiaz said that after discussion with fund administrators, agreements have been reached regarding the payback of the funds, which were originally awarded as a grant.
The theater is more than 80 percent finished, said the mayor. He said that getting performances into the theater was a priority which would help alleviate the financial burden to the city.
The mayor also reported that the car show which was looking to be canceled for various reasons. In conjunction with the Fathers' Day event, the city will host a fundraiser to generate revenue for the city's proposed pool. Dalpiaz said that Carbon County's Recreation and Transportation Special Service District has agreed to fund a portion of the pool project and community leaders hope the fundraiser will offset a large portion of the unmet balance.
Another annual event, in the city, the Helper Arts Festival is well into the planning stages, said the mayor.
"The art's festival is going to be bigger than last year," he said.
Higher than expected bids caused delays in a proposed expansion to the Western Mining and Railroad Museum. The project was originally conceived when museum staff wanted to add an elevator to the facility in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Dalpiaz said that museum officials have secured awards amounting to approximately half of the balance. An additional three grants are in the works in an attempt to generate additional funds.
County Commissioner Bill Krompel reported on the status of around $20 million in county projects, most of which are funded in whole or in part by either the CIB or the Carbon County Recreation and Transportation Special Service District.
Krompel said an engineering study has been completed on the road through Nine Mile Canyon. That study was funded by Bill Barret Corp. at a cost of more than $30,000. In April, the recreation and transportation special service district will meet to discuss how to proceed in light of data presented by the study. Krompel said that Barrett has committed $1 million toward road improvement in Nine Mile Canyon in 2006.
In the same region of the county, Hunt Oil deeded a right of way to the county last year that will give the public access to many acres of public land on the West Tavaputs Plateau.
Closer to the more populated areas, the county is moving forward with the Carbonville Road reconstruction, funded largely with funds from the Utah Joint Highway Committee. With the state funding $4.5 million of the project, the county is providing just seven percent of the total cost, said Krompel.
Phase one of the road reconstruction is expected to be completed by April of 2007. The commissioner also explained that approximately $117,000 has been spent in Price in relation to the reconstruction project. Those improvement include the realignment of two intersections, first at Westwood Blvd. and Fairgrounds Road and second at Carbonville Road and Main Street. Other improvement include an ADA accessible sidewalk connecting Westwood with Price, where approximately $500,000 will be spent on curb, gutter and sidewalk.
The Carbon County Airport will receive the benefit of roughly $14 million in federal aviation grants. The county boasts the third longest runway in the state, said Krompel. The airfield contributes an estimated $4 million in economic benefit to the county. Portions of the grants will be used for the installation of instrument-guided landing equipment. Additional runway improvements will add to the safety of the runway.
At the fairgrounds, the softball fields were improved last year. After completing the work last year, softball teams will enjoy the renovated fields this year. County officials will wait until next year to improve restrooms and build an announcer booth.
CIB funds totaling $2 million will fund the construction of the county exhibition center. While funds have already been allocated, county officials noted that costs rise. Like many of the planned improvements around the county, the county may see dramatic increases in cost before construction begins on the facility.
The building will be an addition to the community center already constructed at the county fairgrounds and be capable of hosting a variety of recreational, industrial or other exhibitions.
Milovich said that designs have just been completed. The center is currently planned with 34,000 square feet of floor space that can be subdivided into four separate areas.
The commissioner declared upfront that certain rumors about the facility are false. The facility will be fully wired with Internet access and cooking facilities. It is designed to bu a multi-use facility that will be able to host a variety of events, from sports competitions to exhibitions.
County officials said that they are planning enough parking for 5,000 vehicles. However, they noted that hotels in surrounding communities will only provide beds for a fraction of that number of people.
Other improvements at the fairgrounds include a five-acre fish pond that will be stocked by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. In addition to anglers, users of non-motorized watercraft will be able to use the facility.
The county road shop is moving forward. Costing $2.3 million in CIB funds, the facility will be a state-of-the-art improvement, said Milovich. The facility will have fiber optic cable lines and high-speed Internet access which can be used to expand communications systems for county workers at a later date.
The county ambulance garage is under construction on Airport Road. Milovich said the 14,000 square foot facility will serve multiple uses.
Temperature-sensitive electronic voting equipment will be stored in a controlled environment. The southwest end of the building will be used a communications center. The northwest end will be used for sleeping and housing facilities for EMTs. The second story will be fitted with a complete emergency response and secondary communications center. In the event that the state's Public Safety Dispatch becomes nonoperational, the facility at the ambulance garage can resume its role. An emergency power system will allow the facility to continue operations in an emergency.
Commissioners also gave an update on the North Springs Shooting and Recreation Area, revealing that the county has experienced a series of problems with the planning and design of the project. For example, county officials explained that an easement by ConocoPhillips extends into one of the originally planned ranges. County officials said they had developed a solution and were working to resolve the issue of land rights.
As a result of the various setbacks, the county is prioritizing the facilities that will be constructed. Also as a result of the delays, the county has been unable to secure bonds related to the project and the CIB is withholding funding until bonding issues can be cleared up.
As of last week, the project was estimated to cost $2.5 million. Milovich explained that the figure continues to climb. Plans for the shooting center include a long range shooting range, cowboy and live-action ranges and a police training range.

What travelers to Melbourne are saying
Melbourne Hotels Deals with Hotelclub.com
Walking around Melbourne, you could be forgiven for thinking you'd landed in a Swedish art house movie, because so many people are wearing black. But two important things will tell you that you haven't. Firstly, trams – and strange tram-related road rules – have never appeared in a Swedish art house movie. And secondly, Melbourne shows her true colours in so many other ways beyond sombre sartorial style.
Like in the proudly displayed flags and scarves of her many AFL Football (Aussie Rules) teams like Carlton and Hawthorn, or in the bright, helpful attitude of her residents, who seem more authentic and eager than Sydneysiders. Or in her passion for music and the arts; in the hole-in-the-wall pubs along Brunswick Street, where you can catch up-and-coming bands play free any night of the week.
Or along Lygon Street's sumptuous Italian food outlets that lure tourists and locals alike with the fragrance of fresh coffee, garlic and tomato. Or in St Kilda, the waterfront entertainment hub, and in the quirky, offbeat thrift stores that mingle with high-end fashion on Chapel Street.
So if Melbourne were a colour, she would be red: bright, vivid, passionate and sexy.
Melbourne's Top 10
10. Federation SquareThe meeting place for Melbournians in the know, the square is the site of many a Melbourne shindig.
5. Southbank A trendy entertainment precinct alive with beautiful people on the banks of the Yarra River. Recommended for a leisurely breakfast.
9. Melbourne Observation Deck Gives an uninterrupted bird's-eye view of the city.
4 . MCG Melbourne Cricket Ground, Mecca for the sports-mad. Home to cricket in the summer, Aussie Rules in winter.
8. National Gallery of Victoria Feast your eyes on some of the most influential Australian and international art, split between two locations.
3. Flinders Street Station In all its decrepit grandeur, Flinders Street Station may not be somewhere you'd want to hang out all day, but it is worth a look for the punks out the front clashing with the grand colonial architecture. Also, handy if you need to catch a train.
7. St Kilda Markets Set along the picturesque boardwalk, these markets offer quality rather than quantity. Find what to do in St Kilda with this Guide
2. Abbotsford Convent Never fear, there aren't any nuns there these days, so you can enjoy an alcoholic beverage as you wander the grounds without being slapped with a ruler!
6. Luna Park The oldest Luna Park in existence, this one – unlike Sydney's –still retains its traditional charm.
1. Old Melbourne Gaol Australia's most haunted building (take a candlelit tour and see for yourself) and the place where Ned Kelly met his maker. Admire or despise him (and Australians are fairly evenly divided), outlaw Kelly did come up with some of the coolest last words ever: 'Such is life'.

Melbourne LocalCarlton
With its quaint terraces built in the 1800s, Carlton is as pretty as a picture, but it's got real guts, too. It was populated early on by Italian immigrants and was originally working class, but Melbourne's foodie clique couldn't resist the aromas of Nonna's home cooking and crowds flock to Lygon Street en masse to feast on the still-traditional fare.
Like any good Italian neighbourhood, Carlton has had its fair share of drama, providing the backdrop for years of Melbourne's tit-for-tat gang wars. Don't let that put you off, though – the most mafia action you're likely to see on the streets of Carlton is a couple of old Dons sitting together over good Italian coffee, watching the world go by.
Carlton is also home to Melbourne Zoo, location of some surprisingly funky gigs in the summer months, the Royal Exhibition Building, location of Australia's first parliament (so presumably some of the politicians really were criminals!) and the Melbourne Museum, where Phar Lap, Australia's most famous racehorse – actually born in New Zealand – can still be seen (not quite as active as in his heyday, but a testament to Australians' love of sport and taking a punt).
While Fitzroy still displays some impressive Colonial architecture, the Depression hit it hard and it fell into disrepair for decades. Cheap rent attracted students, immigrants and struggling artists, and the areas around Brunswick Street especially became Melbourne's bohemian centre.
Alternative boutiques and pubs still dot the streets, but, middle-class money has now gentrified Fitzroy, meaning truly struggling artists can't afford to live there any more. But the suburb remains home to Melbourne's annual Fringe Festival every September and fantastic tapas around Melbourne's Johnston Street-based Spanish Quarter.
Close to Melbourne's major sporting venues, including the iconic MCG, East Melbourne and Richmond have been adopted by both the Vietnamese and Greek immigrant communities. Victoria Street is a Pho-lover's dream, with restaurant upon restaurant filled to the brim with authentic Vietnamese delights. Swan Street is the place to go if you fancy for something a little more Hellenic. Melbourne has the biggest Greek population outside Athens, so you can rest assured the grub is garlicky, Greek and good.
Once you've finished sampling the culinary delights, work off the calories with some hardcore retail therapy. Bridge Street boasts the city's biggest range of factory outlets, so put your walking shoes on and get your credit card ready.
Toorak and South Yarra
If East Melbourne and Richmond smell of Yirros and Pho, then Toorak and South Yarra smell of money. Yoga mums with Hermes purses abound, but it's worth dodging the BMW 4WDs on the northern end of Chapel Street to check out the stunning homes and leafy streets.
Prahran Market is the place for fresh produce, from seafood to meat, while some of the trendy nightclubs, like Boutique and OneSixOnebecome different sorts of meat markets on the weekends!
Now a gentrified suburb, Williamstown has a long history as a port, and its pretty marina and foreshore give a village-feel to the whole area. Williamstown Beach is great for picnics and paddling, and the whole suburb is steeped in local nostalgia, with locals rarely venturing far from their childhood stomping grounds to settle and make families of their own. A trip to the 'Willy RSL' club will see you encounter some colourful characters who'll be only too happy to wax lyrical about the good ol' days, and introduce you to a fistful of blokes they've known for over 50 years.
Melbourne Eats
In case you haven't picked it already, Melbourne is foodie heaven. World-class restaurants mingle with blink-and-you'll-miss-it gems, and the city's strong multiculturalism and immigrant communities provide a playground of flavours just waiting to be discovered.
Madame Brussels A fabulously camp, kitsch and cosy Melbourne establishment where cocktails come in ser teapots and cupcakes on fine china. Enough said.
Italian Waiter's Club: Historically, the place used to be a hangout for Italian waiters to kick back after a long shift. Luckily the rest of us are now in on the secret.
Babka Bakery Café: A Melbourne institution known for sublime breads and hearty breakfasts. Soak up your hangover in Russian baked-goods heaven.
MoVida: The name refers to the period of fun, art and passion in Spain after Franco died, but all you really need know about this restaurant is that its tapas is frighteningly good.
Camy Shanghai Dumpling Restaurant: What the name lacks in poetry, the dumplings more than make up for – and at 15 for $6, they can name it whatever the hell they want!
Cicciolina: Dark, intimate, no reservations and always a line. Brave the wait in the bar out the back, however—it's well worth it.
Stokehouse: With views out to the bay, families downstairs and fine dining upstairs, this is a Melbourne household name, with smiley, happy service.
Courthouse Hotel: Remember the days of a simple, basic pub meal? If you miss 'em, don't come here. Encompassing the new food philosophy that is the gastro pub, you won't find a stodgy roast in sight… but you will find an excellent menu with excellent drinks.
Lentil as Anything: If the clever pun didn't have you hooked, how about this: you pay what you feel the meal was worth, and in doing so contribute to a 'new food philosophy that places human dignity over profit.'
The Press Club: A real treat, with a high-end, innovative menu and celebrity chef George Calombaris at the helm.
Melbourne Events
Melbourne is a city not short on festivals and events, and with a passionate population with a penchant for celebration, no-one throws a party like Melbourne.
For sports, there's the Australian Tennis Open held each January in Rod Laver Arena. There's also the Melbourne Cup Carnival in October/November, with the big race itself taking place on the first Tuesday in November. The whole state gets a public holiday for that one! Completing the trifecta is the annual Boxing Day (26 December) cricket test, where 100,000 passionate (and, as the day wears on, often inebriated) fans roar the Aussies on.
In March, the Moomba Festival in March brings musical flavours from around the planet, while the International Flower Show attracts a green-thumbed following.
Melbourne also hosts the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (March/April) where comedians from all over the world (but mostly, it seems, Ireland and Australia) come to drown their insecurities in public applause.
June brings the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, followed in July by the Melbourne Film Festival and Melbourne International Motor Show (interestingly enough, not a lot of crossover with these clienteles.)
The heart of Melbourne winter is warmed by the arrival of the Melbourne Writer's Festival, in August, and with a thriving literary and arts scene, it's always worthwhile.
The Melbourne Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Arts Festival arrive with spring and by the end of the year everyone's just trying to cope with the heat and recover from the Melbourne Cup!
When To Go
Melbourne's weather is unpredictable. The Crowded House song Four Seasons in One Day was written in and about Melbourne, yet Melbournians vigorously deny that Sydney is sunnier.
Summer in Melbourne, while usually pleasant, can get very hot, and a week or more of temperatures above 35°C (95°F) is not uncommon.
It always seems to rain in October, so carry an umbrella. Melbournians never let the rain bother them, probably because the sun is almost always back before the day is out.
What To Miss
Although Melbourne's Queen Victoria Markets is one of the biggest open markets in the southern hemisphere, it's basically a smorgasbord of all the useless junk you don't need. While the fruits and vegetables are pretty good quality, check out one of the smaller farmer's markets and save yourself the hassle.
King Street was once Melbourne's nightlife hub, but is now the domain of buck's nights and late-night brawls. Melbourne's back lanes provide plenty of better quality watering holes, without the threat of leering bucks and greased-up, cologne-drenched schoolies.
You may be seduced into a horse and buggy ride through the streets of Melbourne, but take it from us – you'll pay about $50 for the privilege of looking like a bit of a fool and staring up the business end of a farmyard animal.
Getting Around
Melbourne is a sprawling city. Both its airports are well out of town, so expect to pay through the nose for a taxi ride to civilisation. A better option – although not an appealing one if laden with suitcases – are the frequent and well-priced buses into the heart of the city. You can also rent a car, handy to enjoy the variety of Melbourne "suburban" scenery – visit Melbourne Car Rental.
Melbourne is well-served by public transport, with trams- a quaint but efficient means of getting around from beach to business district. Hiring a car is always an option, especially if wanting to explore outside Melbourne, but parking spaces in the city and surrounding suburbs can be hard to come by. Because of the trams, you also have to get in the left lane to turn right. It's weird, but somehow works!
For the active/environmentally minded, you can rent a bicycle (and a helmet) at any of the 50 bike stations around the city and return it to a different one. It's a great, easy and cheap way of getting around.Follow HotelClub in Google Plus
Melbourne Information
Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, maintains its European vibe with the sight of Victorian buildings, cafes, and old trams tottering its way in the main thoroughfares. Often called as the creative centre of Australia, the city will delight everyone with its excellent showcase in arts, food, and fashion making it a trend-setting capital. Thus be sure to spend some time in the lovely museums, take a breather at the splendid parks, sample the infectious coffee culture, feel the rugby fever or get acquainted with the Melbournians, a friendly mix of multicultures including Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese, Lebanese and Greek. Push on for further exploits as within an hour's drive, you can find exhilarating sights such as the mineral springs in the Macedon Ranges or the Twelve Apostles Rock along the Great Ocean Road. That said, visitors can find a true mix of all things Aussie with the endless options for leisure, just hot off Melbourne's plate!
Start your trip at Melbourne Observation Deck for that bird's eye view of the city and to orientate yourself to this fascinating city. Then once you take the streets, immerse yourself in Melbourne's art scene. Visit the regular exhibitions at The National Gallery of St. Kilda or the Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square. Don't forget the Victoria Art Centre in Southbank, the Melbourne Museum in Carlton Gardens and the private galleries that abound the city. The theatres serve a variety of topnotch entertainment for every age, from classical concerts to fun children's musicals. And yet more recreational options can be found at the massive Crown Entertainment Complex sitting on the Yarra River's south bank. A short stroll away is the Melbourne Aquarium, another popular stop.
To understand Mebourne's other passion apart from arts, head for Telstra's Dome, the centre of the Australian Football League (AFL) and rugby. Get to see the massive retractable roof when you catch a game. The Melbourne Cricket Ground has world fame for its cricket whilst tennis champions lord over Rod Laver Arena. For horses, take a ride over to Flemington and those keen on sailing, head for the coast.
Melbourne hosts major events which figure highly in the world calendar. The Australian Open, held every January, brings tennis stars in the peak of summer for a fortnight of top tennis action. Formula One Grand Prix kicks off in Albert Park in March, being the first on the international racing circuit. On the other hand, Philip Island racetrack is home to the 500cc Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix in October. Catch the world famous Boxing Day match test as cricket fans troop to the MCG to support the home team. Lastly, make way for "Australia's most famous Tuesday" when the annual Melbourne Cup hits town in November, the biggest horse race in the Southern Hemisphere!
The city's arts scene reaches its peak when Melbourne Arts Festival happens in October dishing out exhibitions and performances in all genres. And for some wonderful quality time for the family while in Melbourne, enjoy the sight of giant sand sculptures, watch waterski or wakeboarding events, dragon boat races and marvel at fireworks display to celebrate water fun in the Moomba Waterfest in March, highlight of which is the Parade and the carnival.
- Winter (June-August) 1-12°C; cold and damp

Insider city tips
Tacey Rychter, Editor of Broadsheet Melbourne
"..stay in the CBD and be within walking distance to heaps of great things."
Tacey Rychter, Editor of the online culture guide Broadsheet Melbourne, shares some of her top recommendations for where to stay and what not to miss on your next trip to Melbourne.
1. What do you think is the best neighbourhood to stay in on a weekend trip to Melbourne and why?
That's tough. Windsor and Prahran has really lovely character and some excellent cafes and shops to explore. Fitzroy and Collingwood is an area that's changing very quickly – new cafes, restaurants and bars open every week and forward-thinking people are pushing the boundaries there in a lot of ways. Alternatively – just stay in the CBD and be within walking distance to heaps of great things.
2. What's your favourite hotel in Melbourne and why?
I'd say the Art Series Hotels. The four in Melbourne are well located, and each have an individual, boutique feel. There's a new one in Bendigo too, that's worth checking out. You can borrow these fun, bright-yellow bikes from there and take a spin around the town.
3.What's your favourite Melbourne attraction you won't find on the tourist map?
If you love film, I'd say The Astor in Windsor. It's a beautiful, historic cinema that seems to be on the verge of closure every few years, but then gets rescued at the last minute. It's in this glorious Art Deco building, there's something great on every night of the week (often a double feature), and the choc tops are made in-house.
4. Can you suggest any hidden bars or restaurants to explore in Melbourne's CBD?
Union Electric is one of my favourite little hidden bars at the moment. It's tucked away in Chinatown with little signage, and they do some excellent cocktails with fresh apple juice. You can also order in food from the Chinese restaurant next door. As for hidden restaurants, Rosa's Kitchen is a great little find on Punch Lane for a well-priced, comforting Italian meal. I also think Tonka in Duckboard Place is always a winner.
5. What's the most unique experience you would recommend a visitor to Melbourne's CBD?
Eat at Chin Chin. It seems like a really tired and obvious recommendation, but after six years it still has lines out the door for a good reason. The trick is to put your name down early – by about 5.30pm. Then you can have a drink downstairs at GoGo before heading into the restaurant to watch this beautiful, chaotic magic happen.
6. What advice would you offer a first time visitor to Melbourne?
Eat as much as you can. The quality, level of creativity and variety of food now in Melbourne is just out of control. And there's so much of it. Have a drink here, a bar snack there, dessert somewhere else. Pack it all in. You can never have it all, but you can try.

Hi everyone,
The issue I am having is wrapping my mind around this situation. I have html tables and each row will need to be retrieved from the database when the page is loaded. ex. questions with answers loaded from database.
Now, when someone answers the questions, they will be submitted to the database. Is it possible to have an onLoad(load questions and answers), and onSubmit(submit answers), on the same line for each row in the table?
Thanks in advanced.

North Country 30, U-32 40
EAST MONTPELIER–The North Country football team took a 30-28 lead into the fourth quarter, but would never score again as the running game of the Raiders was too much for the Falcons to handle, and they fell by the final score of 40-30.
"Things were going well, but we just could not stop their running attack," said coach Tim Simoneau as he team now stands at 0-2.
"The offense however was doing exactly what I wanted them to do."
NCU also got some devestating news as quarterback Jason Hatin is in jeopardy of missing the remainder of the season with what right now is being described as a torn MCL.
He will under go further tests later this week.
Replacing him, Simoneau said, will likely be either Connor Hogan or Ryan O'Donnell.
While they are not considered a threat to go deep at this stage of their career, both read the option very well.
A long week of practice awaits the Falcons as they get ready to hit the road and square off against Fair Haven on Friday evening. Game time is 7:00
North Country 3, St. Johnsbury 0
NEWPORT–After back-to-back losses, the Falcons ended their home stand on a positive note with a 3-0 win over the ST. Johnsbury Academy Hilltoppers.
Brittany Verge, known more for her defensive prowess than her offensive contributions, opened the scoring six minutes into the game.
Ten minutes later, the Falcons struck for two more when Brittany Fortier and Mariah Roberts scored a pair of goals in the span of fifteen seconds.
"We played a great game," said coach Chantelle Bouchard. "Mariah was excellent out there and she really stepped up her game."
Danielle Gabucci had three saves for the Falcons while her team put a season-high ten shots on the Hilltopper goal.
It's now time for the girls to take to the road for the girls.
They begin their trip with a visit to Lyndon Institute on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 where they hope to keep things rolling with another win.
North Country 2, MMU 1
JERICHO–Two first half goals were all the North Country girls needed, as they defeated Mount Mansfield on Saturday 2-0.
"The game had almost a play-off atmosphere. It wasn't our best effort, but we won," said coach Jose´Batista.
With the wind blowing against them, Anna Bingham notched her second goal of the season to open the scoring for the Falcons.
Devinnie Davis earned the assist.
Brooke Breault continued her strong play, getting goal number two on a feed from Bingham.
In the second, it was the defense's turn to shine as they were able to keep the Cougars at bay through the final forty minutes to preserve junior Jenna Moss' eight-save shut-out.
"Jenna played an outstanding game," said Batisita, noting that his netminder seemed to play as if she had more experience than she actually possess.
The girls, now 2-0, will face St. Johnsbury on Tuesday at home with a 4:30 start time.
UCA 0, Rochester 1
One goal seven minutes into the game was the difference as Rochester bested the UCA girls 1-0 in the Crusaders' season opener.
"They were a very strong, very disciplined team," said first year head coach Molly Smith about her opponents.
"I thought our passing was good, out D was strong, and Hannah Piette really controlled the back line."
Lydia Saaman had eight saves for the 0-1 Crusaders
UCA 2, Cabot 3 OT
CABOT– What a difference a week can make.
After losing 6-0 to Cabot at their annual jamboree last weekend, the UCA boys soccer team battled into overtime before finally falling 3-2 to the same Cabot team they just played.
"It was a most amazing game," said coach Alyssa DeLaBreuere. "I am so proud of my boys, and I can honestly say that each and every one of them was an MVP out there."
After getting down 1-0, Ji Kim came through with the tying goal on a feed from Justin Limoge with fourteen minutes left in the half.
But with just 24 seconds left in the first, Cabot regained the lead to close out the half.
Where as last year the team might have got down on themselves, this year's crew rallied and came out fighting, led by their keeper Chris DeLaBruere.
DeLaBruere would be there throughout the game, making a total of 37 saves in the contest, as his team battled to knot the game at two.
"He denied Cabot time and again with an incredible display of agility in the net," said his coach.
Limoge tied the game, sending the match into OT where Cabot was able to tally the winning score nine minutes into the extra session.
Now the boys will take on Mid-Vermont this afternoon at 4:00.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (shown in photo) clearly had a good month of March. First, he engaged in a March 6-7 Senate filibuster to ensure that "no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court." The 13-hour filibuster won plaudits across the political spectrum and raised Paul to a national figure even more than his stunning Tea Party-inspired election over the anointed GOP establishment candidate in 2010.
Even enemies of the constitutionalist movement were driven to say that Rand Paul was engaging in smart politics. Neoconservative columnist Charles Krauthammer acknowledged that "Rand Paul's now legendary Senate filibuster was a stroke of political genius." Then in a partial take-back, Krauthammer called the filibuster "both theatrically brilliant and substantively irrelevant."
On March 16 Rand Paul won the annual CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Presidential Straw Poll, with 25 percent of the 2,930 votes, enough to best Florida Senator Marco Rubio's 23 percent. After that victory, everything Rand Paul did became national news, from his comments on immigration to a threat to engage in a new filibuster on gun control legislation. By the first week of April, word that Rand Paul had scheduled a visit to New Hampshire — which just happens to be where the first presidential primary is held — became headline news.
Then the New York Times, in a March 26 hit-piece/op-ed on Rand Paul, admitted that the GOP establishment is in full damage-control mode: "Mitch McConnell, who is not only Kentucky's senior senator but also the Senate minority leader, seems to worry more about Paul, the state's junior senator, than vice versa." CNN even posted the headline: "New leader of the GOP: Rand Paul."
The neoconservative movement has tried backbiting Senator Paul's public relations coup, to little effect. Neoconservative godfather and political enforcer Bill Kristol slammed Paul's defense of civil liberties this way: "So if Rand Paul wants to run to the left of the Obama administration, he's free to try that in the Republican primary." But Kristol's attacks on Rand Paul, which included labeling his supporters the "Code Pink faction of the Republican party," were all but ignored by the larger political and media culture. According to polls thus far, Rand Paul's stance just may run well in a GOP primary.
