Two Sandy women were killed and three other persons seriously injured early Friday afternoon in a chain-reaction collision on US 6 near the mouth of Cat Canyon about 10 miles southeast of Price.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, a 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Darin Scott Hawkinson, 47, East Carbon, was headed west when it drifted off to the right side of the road, then over corrected and crossed the center line directly into the path of an eastbound 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe carrying driver Steven Dee Hulse, 64, Sandy, and three passengers.
The Santa Fe struck Hawkinson's vehicle broadside, ripping it completely in half. The impact then sent the Santa Fe into a collision with a Peterbilt tractor trailer, also eastbound.
Killed in the crash were the two women in the Santa Fe, 64-year-old Sharlene Atkinson and 63-year-old Lynnette C. Hulse. Steven Hulse was critically injured and William G. Atkinson Jr., 65, suffered serious injuries. All four of the victims in the Santa Fe had been wearing seatbelts, according to the UHP.
Hawkinson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was critically injured.
The injured victims were transported by ambulance to Castleview Hospital.
The driver of the semi, James M. Melvin, 53, Price, was seat-belted and was not injured.
Wreckage from the collisions was scattered across the highway, forcing the closure of the traffic artery in both directions for more than an hour, as rescuers treated the injured and investigators documented the scene. Traffic was backed up for more than a mile in each direction.

I love this coffee. I recieved it as a gift a few years ago. I have found Coffeebean & Tea Leaf, in Washington State, but not this flavor. I visited California last year and couldn't buy enough of it. When I did find in in your home state, I bought 8 bags of Creme Brulee. And now, I found it on line and you tell me you are out of stock!!!You have me hooked, now just sell it in Washington. It is rather out of my way to drive to California to buy a cup of coffee, but I may just have to find an excuse to drive down there again. I also love your French Roast, which will hold me over until I can find my favorite flavor; Creme Brulee.

I bought this for my sister who loves Crème Brulee coffee. She is no longer able to get Seattle's Best Crème Brulee, so I thought I would try a different brand for her. She says it is OK, but definitely not as good as Seattle's Best.

Creme Brulee Flavored Coffee
About Me Frequent Diner, Health Conscious, Simple Tastes
I love this flavor of coffee, tastes and smells so good, not too strong. I wish they would make it in DECAF too, I think it would sell just as well. I use it everyday as my morning wakeup and serve it to family/guests when they visit and they seem to like the taste too. My #1 flavor, I have tried other brands of Crème Brulee and they are inferior.
Have to have this in Wisconsin!!
Bought this while visiting family in SOCAL, brought some home and had to order again!! Ordering was easy and delivery fairly quick being it had to come half way across the country!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Awesome flavor
I was very pleased with this coffee, can't wait to order more!
Creme Brulee

About Me Foodie, Health Conscious
I love Coffee Bean coffee, but I live in GA where it is not available except at the Atlanta airport terminals. I get this every time I go to CA to visit family 2x/year, but that is not enough. I drink mostly decaf, so it's difficult for me that this only comes in regular. I buy the Columbian decaf to mix with it, but then it dilutes the wonderful flavor. Please consider making the Crème Brulee in decaf!

Using ideas they received from more than 1,300 anglers last spring, fisheries biologists are recommending some fishing changes in Utah in 2013. The following are among the proposed changes:
Allow anglers to have up to three hooks on their fishing line.
Currently, Lake Powell and Flaming Gorge are the only waters in Utah at which anglers can use up to three hooks.
Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, thinks walleye, bass and fly anglers are among those who will be excited about the proposed change.
"Some of the more experienced fly anglers are using a rig that consists of a large fly with nymph 'trailers' attached to it," Cushing says. "Allowing them to fish three trailers, instead of two, will give them a better chance to catch fish."
Cushing says bass and walleye anglers are starting to use umbrella rigs. An umbrella rig consists of two or more lures that are attached together. As the rig is pulled through the water, it imitates a small school of fish swimming together.
"Just like with fly anglers," Cushing says, "allowing bass and walleye anglers to use three hooks will give them a better chance to catch fish."
Umbrella rigs often include more than three lures. If the change is approved, only three of the lures in a rig could have hooks on them. "If only three of the lures had hooks on them," Cushing says, "the rig would still be very effective."
Umbrella rigs and worm harnesses are currently sold in Utah, but they're not legal to use in the state if they have more than two hooks. "This change would make it legal to use umbrella rigs and worm harnesses that have up to three hooks," Cushing says.
Allow archers to use bows and arrows to fish for common carp in shallow water at night.
Currently, bow fishing for common carp is allowed only during the day.
Cushing says anything that can legally be done to remove carp is a good thing. "Carp populations grow quick," he says, "and they'll eat anything, so they compete for food with all of the other fish in the water."
Also, carp grow fast. They don't stay small long enough to provide adequate forage for other fish. "And that isn't all," Cushing says. "Carp stir up the mud on the bottom of the waters they're in.
They also feed on and damage aquatic plants. The mud they stir up prevents sunlight from reaching the plants. The damaged plants can't repair themselves, and new plants can't grow."
Cushing says 1,367 anglers responded to a survey that was available on the DWR's website from mid May to mid June.
Because of how the survey was conducted (for example, it was offered online to anyone who wanted to take it), Cushing says the survey isn't statistically valid, and it doesn't represent every angler in Utah.
But he's still excited about the number of anglers who responded to the survey and the ideas they shared.
All of the fishing changes the DWR is recommending for 2013 are available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings.
After you've reviewed the ideas, you can let your Regional AdvisoryCouncil members know your thoughts by attending your upcoming RAC meeting or by sending an email to them.
RAC chairmen will share the input they receive with members of the Utah Wildlife Board. The board will meet in Salt Lake City on Nov. 1 to approve fishing rules in Utah for 2013.
The Southeastern Region RAC meeting will be held Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the Emery County Building, 75 E. Main St., Castle Dale
You can also provide your comments to your RAC via email. Email addresses for your RAC members are available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings.
The group each RAC member represents (sportsman, non-consumptive, etc.)is listed under each person's email address. You should direct your email to the people on the RAC who represent your interest.

Up until now, there have only been three major hologram moments in our lives--the cartoon Jem, Alexander McQueen's F/W 06 show featuring a Kate Moss hologram, and Tupac's "appearance" at Coachella this year--but suddenly, we can't get enough of them. The reason for our sudden obsession is simple: we're seeing the iridescent, rainbow-like sheen on everything from puffy outerwear to chic party clutches right now, and simply love the look. This resurgence of holograms is in perfect keeping with the season's sci-fi trend, as the kaleidoscope of colors change with every move and lend a hypnotizing, futuristic look to your daily ensembles. These items are a simple and surefire way to give your wardrobe a fashion-forward spin, so check out our favorite prismatic pieces in today's Look We Love.
On the Runway
Though the use of holograms is more prominent in Resort 13 collections--more on that in a moment--we first took notice of the trend at Marc Jacobs' eccentric F/W 12 show. As if the collection's exaggerated silhouettes, oversized paisley prints, and large furry hats weren't awe-inspiring enough, the designer adorned his dresses, including the Green Shetland Wool and Faux Fur Dress ($3200, 212.343.1490), with hologram appliques, adding even more visual intrigue to his overall looks. Skipping ahead to Resort, at Marios Schwab, iridescent sequins embellished on the Double Layer Chiffon Pencil Skirt ($1557) translated into pixelated patterns with an almost liquid-like appearance.
On Celebs
A handful of stylish celebs are embracing holograms too. We spotted Kate Moss carrying a hologram bag from Stella McCartney's Resort 13 collection while shopping in Paris last month. The lustrous carrier is a knockout addition to her chic all-noir look. Opting for a touch more sheen, German actress Eva Padberg turned up at the 2012 GQ Men of the Year awards in Berlin a few weeks ago wearing a teal dress with a hologram belt and strap. And finally, no hologram story is complete without mentioning the look Kate Bosworth wore to celebrate her new role as SK-II ambassador in Australia early last month. The actress quite literally shined in a Stella McCartney sequined dress from the S/S 13 collection paired with a Proenza Schouler gold metallic clutch and Giuseppe Zanotti glitter sandals. We love how the busy sequins are perfectly balanced by the frock's sleek column shape.
On You/Clothing
Whether you enjoy a bold or subtle take on the hologram look, we've got plenty of options for you to try this season. On the clothing front, one of our favorite pieces is Topshop's Puffer Coat ($180, available mid November). Be a standout on the ski slopes or style it with a sleek LBD; either way, we can promise you'll love this piece all winter long. Our more daring readers will surely appreciate Hussein Chalayan's Holographic Leggings ($965), especially since they offer double duty in the trend department, hitting on the season's metallic look too. We've also got our eye on Mulberry's adorable Navy T-Shirt with Monster Hologram ($233), a weekend-ready pick that pairs perfectly with cuffed jeans and boyish oxfords.
On You/Accessories
If you'd prefer to go the accessories route, make sure to put these next items on your must-have list. For those of you dying to snag Kate Moss' covetable clutch, but can't bear the wait, Stella McCartney's Olegram Hologram Square Clutch ($590) is a similar style that is available now. Your best bet for footwear is definitely Proenza Schouler's High Heel Ankle Strap Sandals ($695); though the hologram finish offers a playful touch, the minimal design keeps them feeling chic. There are a few jewelry items we'd like to mention too, like KG Kurt Geiger's Joey Glass Necklace ($80), which has holiday soiree written all over it, and Eddie Borgo's Eden Cuff ($1125, available late November), an investment piece that will draw attention to your stylish sensibilities. To up your outfit's cool factor, be sure to grab Westward Leaning's N°9.6 Color Revolution Sunglasses ($165). The mirrored shades feature ultra-reflective, neon-coated lenses, plus when you buy a pair, the brand donates $10 to the Reporters Without Borders charity, so it's a purchase you can feel good about.
On You/Beauty
Perhaps the easiest way to address the hologram look is with Layla's Hologram Effect Nail Polish ($16). With just a few coats, the glittery lacquer creates a rainbow sheen that changes color depending on how the light hits it. Available in 14 hologram effect shades, be sure to check them all out today.--Jessica Baker

Explore Capitol Hill
Surrender of General Burgoyne
The event shown in this painting is the surrender of British General John Burgoyne at Saratoga, New York on October 17, 1777. Burgoyne's surrender followed battles with American General Horatio Gates near Saratoga in September and October 1777. With the British losing men and defenses during both engagements, Burgoyne retreated with a weakened army to Saratoga, where he surrendered to General Gates. This turning point in the American Revolution prevented the British from dividing New England from the rest of the colonies, and it was the deciding factor in bringing active French support to the American cause.
Oil on canvas
12' x 18'
1821; placed 1826
U.S. Capitol
This painting depicts General Burgoyne prepared to surrender his sword to General Gates. Gates, showing respect for Burgoyne, refuses to take the sword and instead offers hospitality by directing Burgoyne to the tent to take refreshment; the American flag flies in the wind at the top of the tent. American officers gather at the sides to witness the event; their varied dress reflects their different units. In the center of the painting, and extending into the background, is Burgoyne's army along with its German reinforcements. They were directed to the camp by American Colonel Lewis, Quartermaster-General, who rides on horseback in the far distance. The scene suggests peace rather than combat or hostility: beneath blue sky and white clouds, officers wear their dress uniforms, weapons are sheathed or slung, and cannons stand silent.
Burgoyne's surrender was among the subjects John Trumbull selected for a series of history paintings when he began to "meditate seriously the subjects of national history, of events of the Revolution," in 1785. In September of that year, Trumbull wrote his brother that he was thinking of scenes related to battles of Bunker's Hill, Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown. In 1791, he sketched a landscape study for the surrender site at Saratoga. In creating the painting for the Capitol, he included the same large tree in the left foreground and many other topographical features but added more trees and autumnal leaves. Trumbull based most of the figures on portraits he painted from life in the early 1790s. The Surrender of General Burgoyne was completed in December 1821 and was exhibited in New York City from January to March of the following year.
Trumbull performed the first cleaning and restoration of his Rotunda paintings in 1828, applying wax to their backs to protect them from dampness and cleaning and re-varnishing their surfaces. At the time, Trumbull also repaired damage to the right foot of Colonel Daniel Morgan (dressed in white and standing at the head of the officers gathered at the tent), which was cut out with a sharp instrument, most likely a penknife. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries the painting was cleaned, restored, varnished, and relined. All of the Rotunda paintings were most recently cleaned in 2008.
Between 1822 and 1832, Trumbull created a smaller version of this painting that is now part of the collection of Yale University Art Gallery. The painting in the Capitol and the later version are similar in composition but differ in details. In the later version Trumbull made changes to the facial features and expressions of figures, the direction the flag blows, and the topography of the landscape. It was Trumbull's version for the U.S. Capitol that appeared on a $1.00 stamp in 1994.
John Trumbull was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, on June 6, 1756. His father, Jonathan Trumbull, was later Governor of Connecticut (1769–1784). John entered Harvard College in 1771 and graduated in 1773. He created numerous sketches of significant people and places, even during his service as an officer and General Washington's aide-de-camp during the Revolutionary War. Resigning his commission as colonel in 1777, he painted for two years and then went to England, where he studied under renowned history painter Benjamin West and at the Royal Academy of Arts. In London, Paris, and New York City, he created scenes of the American Revolution and life portraits or sketches of many of the individuals who would appear in them. He also painted portraits of other notable persons and numerous religious scenes.
From 1794 to 1804, diplomatic postings in London interrupted his work, and his artistic skill suffered. However, he remained successful as a portrait painter, and exhibitions of his earlier canvases led to an 1817 commission for four large paintings to be placed in the Capitol Rotunda; these were installed in 1826, but he failed to secure a contract for additional Rotunda paintings. He returned to the religious subjects of his earlier career but fell on hard times. In 1831 he deeded many of his works to Yale College in exchange for a $1000.00 annuity. Trumbull died in New York City on November 10, 1843, and was interred beneath the art gallery at Yale that he designed. In 1867, his paintings and his remains were moved to the new art gallery (now Street Hall).

As full-blown Anglophiles, we delight in all things British, so the fact that we love London Fashion Week should come as no surprise to you, dear readers. And who could blame us? Between all of the incredibly talented rising stars (Christopher Kane, Erdem Moralioglu, Kinder Aggugini) and the amazing established brands (Mulberry, Burberry Prorsum, Vivienne Westwood)--not to mention the top-notch attendees (Alexa Chung, Dree Hemingway, Kate Bosworth)--you simply must get excited. Accordingly, we're delighted to present today's installment of Fashion Scene, which is dedicated to the ladies of the London shows and their wonderful sartorial sensibilities. Read on for all the need-to-know info about these lovely looks and then please tell us which outfit you like best!
WHO: Clemence Poesy
WHAT: Celebrating Mulberry's F/W 11 collection at the post-show party at Claridge's on Sunday.
WEAR: The stunning French actress looked adorable at both the Mulberry show (where she wore a gorgeous yellow-gold dress) and the after-party (in a simple mid-calf length frock). For the latter, Poesy chose a piece from the brand's Pre-Fall 11 collection--specifically the Long Peggy Dress ($1100, 212.453.4722) in midnight silk--and paired it with some simple pumps by Gina. She looks refined, elegant, and absolutely adorable: love this ensemble!
WHO: Lou Doillon
WHAT: Photographed at a party celebrating Club Monaco's collaboration with Browns.
WEAR: Doillon, who is currently starring in Club Monaco's spring ad campaign, came out to celebrate the brand's partnership with beloved British retailer Browns. (Browns is currently stocking a select assortment of CM's clothing and accessories, both in store and online.) Doillon turned up in a stunning, slouchy, cream jacket--Club Monaco's Ava Beaded Blazer ($395)--paired with a big-brimmed black hat for a pseudo-'70s glam look.
WHO: Pixie Geldof
WHAT: Supporting designer Henry Holland at the House of Holland show on Saturday.
WEAR: Sartorially speaking, you never really know what to expect from Pixie Geldof. While she definitely loves a good gothic moment, she went for a breezier, '70s-prepster look last week at the House of Holland show--a change we definitely like. Clad in a pair of woven silk Fern-Print Flared Trousers ($645) from HOH's S/S 11 collection, a vintage cuffed boyfriend blazer, and pale pink lipstick, Geldof looked spot-on for spring while maintaining her individualistic spirit.
WHO: Edie Campbell
WHAT: Feting the launch of Vivienne Westwood's fine jewelry collaboration with the Palladium Alliance at The Wallace Collection last Friday.
WEAR: We're mad about the wintery look model Edie Campbell recently created and are currently coveting her vintage Burberry coat and oversized scarf in a big way. In addition to these darling pieces, we love the way she cinched her coat's belt over her scarf--a small, but powerful, styling trick!
WHO: Kate Bosworth
WHAT: Arriving at the Burberry Prorsum show at Kensington Gardens on Tuesday.
WEAR: The actress truly stunned at the Burberry Prorsum show in the British fashion house's studded pencil skirt, especially since she paired it with an abbreviated topper that looks like the love child of a trench coat and a motorcycle jacket. While the skirt is a one-of-a-kind piece, Bosworth's Cropped Leather and Cotton-Twill Biker Jacket ($2195) is currently in stock. The stylish lass punctuated her standout ensemble with a pair of quilted ankle boots, also by Burberry Prorsum, for a very strong final look.
WHO: Charlotte Dellal
WHAT: Snapped at the 15th anniversary party for British Vogue's website last week.
WEAR: To say we are fans of Charlotte Dellal's incredible shoe line, Charlotte Olympia, is a huge understatement. We're mad about her outrageously sexy platform heels and were delighted to see the designer in a pair of her own leopard-print booties (which are sadly from the F/W 10 collection) at a party for the online arm of British Vogue. As for the rest of her outfit, Dellal wore her favorite Wolford Amaris Dress ($925) with a Chloe belt, Isabel Marant coat, and a Victoria Grant for Charlotte Olympia hat, resulting in perfectly turned-out ensemble!
WHO: Jameela Jamil
WHAT: Photographed at the Louise Gray show on Saturday.
WEAR: Jameela Jamil is one of our favorite former GOTMs, in part because she so clearly has a sense of humor about life and fashion. That joie de vivre was definitely on display at LFW, when the TV host combined a pink strapless Topshop swimsuit with a poofy H&M skirt in a similarly sweet hue. To give her outfit a little more personality, Jamil added a polka-dot pair of H&M platform heels and some colorful Ed Sheeran jewelry (featuring beads made to look like British candies) for an anything-but-dull final result!
WHO: Josephine de la Baume
WHAT: Checking out the Pringle of Scotland show on Monday.
WEAR: Model/actress/singer Josephine de la Baume gave us an excellent example of how to mix chunky knits into our wardrobes, via the enviable ensemble she wore to the Pringle of Scotland show. De la Baum paired the brand's Cable Mesh Cashmere Hand Knit Sweater ($1100) with a sparkly dress from the S/S 08 collection and an oversized 3.1 Phillip Lim waxed-leather biker jacket (from the F/W 10 collection) for a perfect tough-cozy-cute combination. Note to self: try this at home!
WHO: Cara and Poppy Delevingne
WHAT: Snapped at AnOther Magazine's 10th Anniversary Party at The Box in London.
WEAR: One of our favorite British sister acts, Cara and Poppy Delevingne, looked particularly darling at the AnOther Magazine fete. Cara wore one of the most covetable leather jackets on the market, a Burberry Prorsum Peplum Biker Jacket ($3595)--perhaps a gift for participating in the brand's S/S 11 ad campaign? Her sister Poppy opted for a slightly girlier look with a one-of-a-kind Burberry Prorsum ruffled gray mini dress and a pair of Chanel metal plate boots.
WHO: Dree Hemingway
WHAT: Toasting Mulberry's F/W 11 collection at the post-show party at Claridge's on Sunday.
WEAR: The always-inspiring Dree Hemingway impressed us yet again with the perfectly constructed outfit she wore to Mulberry's after-party. The major model--we adore her strawberry blonde hair!--paired Mulberry's Tippi Dress ($950, 212.453.4722) in Peace & Love jacquard with a pair of green Charlotte Olympia for House of Holland lace-front heels and Mulberry's double-handle Carter Bag ($1550) in Midnight. (For those bag-philes out there, note that the Carter debuted with the Pre-Fall collection and is a key style for F/W 11!) As always with Hemingway, the style is in the details--notice how she knotted her Topshop belt in a delightfully insouciant way? We sure did.
WHO:Alexa Chung
WHAT: Sitting front-row at the Erden F/W 11 show on Tuesday.
WEAR: While the Alexa Chung-sightings at the most recent NYFW were sadly less numerous than in years past, at least we're getting to enjoy her outfits at London Fashion Week! The beloved tastemaker showed off her signature style at the Erdem show, wearing a quirky-cool combination of Ralph Lauren Collection Keyhole Printed Sunglasses ($250) in Houndstooth and a full-skirted nude dress from Orla Kiely's S/S 11 collection. We adore, as per usual!

NCAA appearance: Guarded condition
Yes, the Sooners returned to the NCAA Tournament this season, making their first appearance since Blake Griffin and Co. But they failed to survive until the weekend, done in by San Diego State. In the program's last 10 trips to the tournament, this is only the third one-and-done. With senior Romero Osby carrying such a big load late, it begs the question — can they do better next year?

A 19-year-old Watertown man has been charged with criminally negligent homicide for his alleged role in an accident in September in the town of Ellisburg that killed another teen.
George W. Knapp also was charged with reckless driving and speeding following the investigation into the single-car accident Sept. 1 on Route 289 that killed Trevor D. Robinson, 17, Adams. Mr. Robinson, who was a passenger in the 2000 Corvette, died instantly.
Jefferson County Sheriffs Detective David J. Pustizzi Jr. said Thursday morning the accident occurred after Mr. Knapps car had, at one point, reached a speed of more than 140 mph.
Speed was definitely a factor, Sheriff John P. Burns said.
The crash occurred at the crest of a hill on Route 289 where the car became airborne and hit an embankment and trees, ending up in a field, Detective Pustizzi said. The vehicle rolled over several times.
Mr. Knapp, who suffered multiple injuries, was hospitalized at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, for several weeks and then received home health care. It took investigators several months to reconstruct the accident, Detective Pustizzi said.
Mr. Knapp was arraigned Tuesday in Ellisburg Town Court and released on his recognizance pending grand jury action.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (WUSA) - It's called question B and it's shaping up to be one of the most contentious local issues in Election 2012. With voting just four days away, the question is heating up in Montgomery County.
Question B appears to be pitting the County government and police chief against some union members and their families.
Montgomery County Police Officer Matt Frasca talked about his little girl, Luci. The 3 year-old is braving a daunting array of medical conditions.
"I want to be able to protect her and take her to her appointments that she needs to go to, do the things that I have to do as a father. Without having to worry about this nonsense," said Frasca.
What he calls nonsense is Question B. The County says it would force the Police Chief to check with the union before making any management decisions. The Fraternal Order of Police says the County has spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to repeal 30 years of "effects bargaining" which ensures things like advance notice of shift changes.
"What this law does is give us a little bit of protection, a say in how is that going to affect me," Frasca said.
Videos posted to youtube are intensifying an already bitter fight. One allegedly shows young people paid by the County to lobby for Question B.
"The law says in Maryland you cannot spend tax dollars on political activities. The definition of political activities is promoting or opposing a ballot question," said Lanny Davis, the FOP Attorney.
Friday afternoon, the County fired back, saying effects bargaining has cost taxpayers a lot of money over the past 30 years and it is appropriate, not illegal, for the government to use County resources to advocate for Question B.
The FOP has asked state and federal prosecutors to investigate whether Montgomery County used any federal funding to campaign for Question B.
A County spokesman said emphatically it did NOT.

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic condition associated with bilateral vestibular schwannomas. It is rare, affecting only about one in 25,000 people.
In 2012, when 30-year-old Quincy resident Alex Cellucci was nine months pregnant, she was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that disturbs cell growth in the nervous system, enabling tumors to grow on any nerve in the body.
Treatment with the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab improved hearing and alleviated other symptoms in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) represents the first report of a successful NF2 treatment not involving surgery or radiation.

JAY–The North Country girls hockey team continued their pattern of disorganized play in the first period, which eventually led to their downfall, as they lost 3-1 to the Harwood Highlanders on Saturday night.
"Maybe the holiday's started early," quipped head coach Claude Paul. "I don't know what it was, but we couldn't seem to do anything right."
The night started off with starting goalie Mikaella Doran sitting on the bench due to illness, so that opened the door for junior Brianna Bocelli to make her first start of the season.
The Highlanders would not be kind to her.
Seven minutes into the game, Katlyn Martin's low shot beat Bocelli five-hole, and the home team, already struggling to get anything going, was behind 1-0.
Three minutes later, Haley Spittle nabbed the first of her two goals on a high glove-side shot, and now the hole was getting deeper for North Country.
The girls would regroup the best that they could, and prevented any further damage in the period.
In the second, Doran was feeling better and entered the game.
The Falcons started playing a little better, and at the 10:00 mark, Whitney Bernier had the team's best scoring chance at that point, getting off a shot and a rebound, but Siena Damon was there for the saves.
After the save, the Highlanders promptly went down and made it three to nothing on Spittle's second of the night.
They say the three goal lead is the most dangerous in hockey, and if ever there was a time to put this old axiom to the test it was when NCU went on a two-man advantage with 6:24 left in the second.
The girls had 1:42 to work with, and the talent to get the job done, but there would be no Christmas miracle this time, as the Falcon power-play sputtered along, accomplishing nothing.
Said Paul, who by this point in the young season has got to be sick of me asking about the power-play, "The power-play is one of those things that you need to make adjustments on depending on who you are playing.
"We did not make the necessary adjustments, and we need to work on that."
Off we we go the third ,where trailing 3-0, Taylor Morley gave the Falcons some hope, as she put in a Jenna Moss rebound to cut the lead to 3-1 just forty-five seconds into the period.
Morley is averaging somewhere around a point a game so far, leading the team in scoring.
Fourteen whole minutes to get two more goals, that is what was on the table.
Doran did her part, turning away eight shots in the period, including Hayley Martini's breakaway three minutes into the period.
The Falcon offense continued their attack on the Highlander goal, but their momentum was derailed when they were given, you guessed it, a power-play.
That man-advantage took the wind right of No. Country's sails, and they couldn't get it back, falling to 2-2 in 2012 half of the 2012-2013 season.
Bocelli had one save and Doran fourteen for NCU, while Damon had fifteen for 4-1-1 Harwood.
The girls will back at it on the 29th when they travel to Northfield for a 3:00 matinee game.

The analysis followed three previous studies carried out between 2012 and 2014 covering South & Southwest Asia, North & Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, for a total of 27 countries across the continent.
Women have made important contributions to the advancement in research and development. Despite an increase in the overall number of researchers over time in Asia and the Pacific, men have consistently outnumbered women. In addition, fewer women pursue science-related education than men. As the role of technology, science and innovation is emphasized in achieving the sustainable development goals beyond 2015, it is important to unlock the potential of women in these areas in order for them to make even greater contribution to the betterment of the humankind.
To integrate further least developed countries (LDCs) into the global and regional economies, a number of countries have introduced Duty-Free Quota-Free (DFQF) schemes for LDCs, allowing their imports to enter without paying tariffs. This note reviews those schemes and finds that Asia-Pacific LDCs are increasing their share of global exports, but while improved market access through DFQF schemes is useful, the developmental benefits will be limited unless the schemes are made relevant and usable.
Afghanistan needs to capitalize on the potential for greater trade with its Central Asian neighbours, especially given the current headwinds facing the Afghan economy. Particular promise exists for: energy trade; transit trade linking Central Asia with South Asia; and trade among border communities. However, at present trade relations are extremely limited and significant barriers to further integration remain including tariff and non-tariff barriers, as well as transport and connectivity issues.
The recent collapse in international commodity prices (June 2014 to February 2015) has both positive and negative implications for Asia-Pacific economies, depending upon net commodity-trade positions. Here the focus is on the impacts to net commodity-importing economies. In the short-run, these economies are likely to benefit from a downturn in commodity-prices. Major consequences include: higher disposable incomes, greater domestic demand, and faster economic growth.
This issue of the Trade Insights series provides analysis of notifications submitted as part of the preparation for the implementation under the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement. Fifteen economies in the Asia-Pacific region have already submitted Category A notifications, i.e., the list of substantive provisions they have either already implemented or are committed to implement by the time the Agreement enters into force.
Water is at the core of sustainable development. Water resources, and the range of services they provide, underpin poverty reduction, economic growth and environmental sustainability. From food and energy security to human and environmental health, water contributes to improvements in social well-being and inclusive growth, affecting the livelihoods of billions.
This report comes from the Asian and Pacific Conference on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: Beijing+20 Review, 17-20 November 2014, Bangkok.
Building resilience to disasters is increasingly being recognized as a priority area in order to protect hard-earned development gains in the Asia-Pacific region. The private sector alone is estimated to hold 70 to 85 per cent of the investment in most national economies and makes over $80 trillion worth of institutional investments globally on an annual basis. Clearly, any attempts to reduce the risk of disasters and build resilience will not work without the active participation of the private sector.
The current paper provides a review of natural disasters and their impacts in Asia and the Pacific by disaster type, subregion and level of development. The first section looks at the occurrence of natural disaster events. This is followed by an analysis of fatalities and economic loss in sections two and three respectively. The short-term consequences of natural disasters on the economy are also mentioned. The final section briefly discusses aspects regarding exposure and vulnerability of countries in Asia and the Pacific.

Car Jacked In "Chill Town" Jersey City – Give Up the Car or Give Up Your Life? [POLL]
So far, 25 car jackings have been reported in Jersey City in the past six months, compared with only 17 during this same stretch a year ago.
So I'm guessing that if you're driving a late model Audi or Lexus, your chances of getting jacked driving down Sip Ave are greater than if you're driving a 25 year old Yugo...

In the wake of a disaster, entire communities—public officials, business leaders, local residents—have united to "build back better." In the face of sometimes insurmountable odds, they have found ways to rebuild smarter, stronger, and safer. They are successful because before the disaster struck, they had already laid the groundwork by fortifying their physical, digital, and societal infrastructure in an effort to better mitigate and manage disaster risk.

In the wake of a disaster, entire communities—public officials, business leaders, local residents—have united to "build back better." In the face of sometimes insurmountable odds, they have found ways to rebuild smarter, stronger, and safer. They are successful because before the disaster struck, they had already laid the groundwork by fortifying their physical, digital, and societal infrastructure in an effort to better mitigate and manage disaster risk.
Rapidly escalating disaster risk
The occurrence of high-impact disasters is becoming increasingly familiar: Earthquakes in New Zealand, Turkey, and China; floods in Thailand and Australia; and hurricanes and tornadoes in the US are just a few high-profile examples. As crippling damage to the world's built infrastructure becomes more commonplace, the private and public sectors are looking for solutions to bolster the strength of their businesses and continuity of their communities—before and after disaster strikes.
PwC and UN working to improve disaster resilience
Since 2011, PwC has been working closely with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) to analyze data from past disasters and uncover common themes in how business and government prepare for disaster while providing a framework for long-term public-private sector collaboration in disaster preparedness and response. (For more, see UNISDR and PwC chart a new global framework for disaster risk reduction.)
This report extends the focus of the UNISDR-PwC initiative, looking specifically at the long-term opportunity for public-private sector collaboration in building or rebuilding risk-resilient infrastructure.
The most expensive disasters of the past three decades have occurred in recent years
Extensive conversations with public- and private-sector leaders worldwide in disaster management, recovery, and resilient rebuilding—in both developed and developing economies—provide the foundation of this report. They told us of their successes and setbacks, of rallying communities and local business to a common purpose, and shared their plans to build back stronger and smarter.
They were all in agreement that in the aftermath of a disaster, local communities, national governments, and business are all motivated to rebuild infrastructure that can withstand future disasters. This report describes why building disaster-resilient infrastructure is critical for a region's competitiveness, both nationally and globally. It also illustrates how the private sector can offer innovative solutions to help communities build or rebuild disaster-resilient infrastructure.
PwC recommendations
Drawing on our discussions and synthesizing our contributors' hard-earned lessons, we have distilled six key recommendations, explored in depth throughout the report:
- Focus on preparedness, prevention, and mitigation now. Research from multiple sources (see page 26) proves early investment in disaster preparedness, prevention, and risk mitigation is cost effective; resilient infrastructure can prevent both human and economic loss.
- Foster collaboration across public and private sectors. The earlier that business and government start to build relationships, the more effective they will be when disaster strikes.
- Motivate communitywide engagement. Local participation from the entire community is pivotal to the entire cycle of disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery—including rebuilding resilient infrastructure for a vibrant economy.
- Coordinate across regional boundaries. Disasters don't recognize jurisdictional borders; resilient infrastructure often needs to cross regional boundaries to be effective.
- Encourage resilient recovery with optimal incentives. The right combination of regulation and customized incentives can stimulate a resilient recovery.
- Build back stronger and smarter. A long-term plan encompassing resilient physical and digital infrastructure—while leveraging technology for innovation—can infuse the local economy with renewed vitality.
The findings in this report are relevant for cities, regions, and businesses the world over as they prepare to face the growing risks of natural disaster, compounded by the mounting challenges of the 21st century—as well as for those currently rebuilding.

My nephew is writing a report for his web development class, and he needs to ask questions to experienced PHP users. I don't have experience with PHP unfortunately, although I'd like to learn. Would anyone mind answering these 4 questions? Again, they're for a student's small report; I'm not looking to glom material for sales blurbs etc.
Here are the questions:
1. Where do you think are the best uses of PHP?
2. Have you ever had a problem with PHP?
3. Do you use PHP for your own personal use or only work sites?
4. Do you think PHP will ever be as big as Java?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give their opinion.

Sarah and Cathy Pugliese brought in 300 flowers they made on Tuesday. Others continue to add to the total, but more are needed.
This coming weekend the project to place at least one flower on the estimated 40,000 graves in Carbon and Emery Counties will begin in earnest as groups of people we call Flowerteers will descend on the area's cemeteries.
The project, known as No Graves Unadorned, has developed legs of its own throughout the community. It's estimated that as many as 700 people have been involved in the making of the plastic flowers for graves over the last few months and now some of them, along with other volunteers, are placing flowers throughout the coming week on graves, just in time for Memorial Day.
The number of flowers that had come into the Sun Advocate and Emery Progress offices by Wednesday afternoon counted near 30,000. The goal is to produce 40,000 to cover graves that have no decorations at all.
Now it comes to filling the manpower needs of placing flowers around the two county area. The largest cemetery, Price, will need volunteers all next week to put flowers on graves.
It also means that flowers that have been under construction by groups throughout the county need to be brought into the Sun Advocate office by Monday so that there are enough to go around.
Anyone wishing to donate their time to make flowers or to place them on graves this coming week can contact Jenni Fasselin or Malyn Brady at 637-0732.
We intend to have all the flowers placed by noon on May 25, the Saturday before Memorial Day.

Date Climbed: Apr 13, 2008
|For years I've been staring at that couloir on my way back from Joshua Tree...Finally knocked it off last weekend. Definitely a classic, but pretty brutal if your only training has been weekend cragging! Conditions were pretty good -- predictably soft at the top. Otherwise, nice crunchy snow. Climbed with Brad and Ryan.

|4th time & still love it
Date Climbed: Mar 29, 2008
|This was my 4th time on Snow Creek and I still enjoy it tremendously. It has become an annual climb for me. This time it was quite the social climb as I climbed with 10 other SP'ers: Luis, Jason, Kevin, Mike, Rick, Tina, David, Roman, Ryan and Jon. Started at 4:20am. Summited by 3:45pm. Back at the Tram by 6pm. All in all, an awesome day out near Palm Springs!

Last week I took some vacation expecting to get a lot done around the house and take a little time for some recreation.
The score for the week was hard labor on home projects 10, recreation 1.
One of the projects I had to do around the house was to build a retaining wall, which took more time than I expected. (Don't these kinds of things always do that?).
I began by laying a concrete base and then put blocks in the concrete and stuck rebar inside the hollows of the block into the soft concrete. I spent a lot of time trying to be sure the block was level so the subsequent layers would also have a chance of at least ending up somewhat even.
The next day I began to lay the block and fill the cylinders with concrete. As I did that I noticed that I had not totally leveled the first layer the way I should have and as I laid the block, layer upon layer, those initial deficiencies became exaggerated.
I am no mason, and this wall wasn't something that was really important other than that it hold dirt back, so style wasn't required, but it did make me think about how putting in a block wall is a lot like picking a presidential candidate to vote for.
Despite the fact I was sweating profusely in the hot weather, and every joint in my body was aching, my more cerebral side started to reason the initial thoughts in my head.
Right now we as Americans have a chance to start out fairly clean with who will become our next president. For the first time in decades we will have a president who was not part (either president or vice president) in a former administration. Some might say that Hillary Clinton was part of Bill's administration, but technically she wasn't.
At present, as debates and straw polls go on, we are laying the blocks for a foundation that will extend many years down the road. So what should we look for? Well I think that depends on how each of us feel about particular issues.
Some people are one issue voters. They vote on something like gun rights, abortion, immigration, the Iraq War, so on and so forth.
Others look at their party and see how the person fits their idea of what their parties candidate should do to fill the mold.
Others are concerned with moral character. These voters look at the person and say if they are honest and moral, it won't matter which party they are with.
Still others try to find a compromise in what a candidate believes (or says he or she believes) and what that voter thinks.
All these are valid ways of picking a candidate, but I tend to lean toward compromise. None of us will ever find a candidate for a political office that completely agrees with what we think, all the time, on every issue. There are people out there that think that a candidate must be that perfect in their eyes or they are no good. But in life we seldom find perfection. Heck, most of us end up marrying people who we don't agree with a lot, yet we have a good relationship and things get done. Sometimes it takes two or three tries to find that person, but then that is life.
Back to the wall. My wall was a compromise; not quite as straight as I would like it to have been, but still it serves the purpose I need it to supply. I think that is where my pick for president will be constituted as well.
There are a lot of good candidates on the board right now, and we all know that political will and power will whittle that field down quickly beginning in January of next year.
What I will personally look for in a possible president is a good strong base, some staying power like the concrete itself, but also the flexibility that the rebar provides to the structure of a candidate.
The person I pick won't be perfect, but then who is.

By the time you hold your new baby in your arms for the first time, chances are you've already chosen one of the most important people in your little one's early life — a doctor. You and your baby will probably visit the doctor more often during the first year than at any other time.
You may have had a prenatal visit with your baby's doctor-to-be to discuss some specifics, such as when he or she will see your newborn for the first time, office hours and on-call hours, who fills in when your doctor is out of the office, and how the office handles after-hours emergencies. You may have also learned the doctor's views on certain issues.
In this way, you've begun to forge a relationship with your baby's doctor that should last through the bumps, bruises, and midnight fevers to come.
Depending on your desires and the rules of the hospital or birth center where your baby is delivered, the first exam will either take place in the nursery or at your side:
Your baby will be given a first bath, and the umbilical cord stump will be cleaned. Most hospitals and birthing centers provide personal instructions (and sometimes videos) to new parents that cover feeding, bathing, and other important aspects of newborn care.
The hospital or birth center where you deliver will notify your child's doctor of the birth. If you have had any medical problems during pregnancy, if any medical problems for your baby are suspected, or if you are having a C-section, a pediatrician or your baby's doctor will be alerted of the impending birth and be standing by to take care of the baby.
The doctor you have chosen for your newborn will probably give your baby a full physical examination within 24 hours of birth. This is a good opportunity to ask questions about your baby's care.
A sample of your baby's blood (usually done by pricking the baby's heel) will be taken to screen for a number of diseases that are important to diagnose at birth so effective treatment can be started promptly. In some cases, a repeat sample to confirm the results will be taken by the baby's doctor soon after going home.
Find out when the doctor would like to see your newborn again. Most healthy newborns are routinely examined at the doctor's office at about 1 to 2 weeks old. But if your baby is discharged home less than 48 hours after delivery, your doctor will want to have your baby come to the office for a check within 48 hours after discharge.
During the first office visit, your doctor will assess your baby in a variety of ways. The first office visit will differ from doctor to doctor, but you can probably expect:
Also, if the results of screening tests performed on your newborn after birth are available, they may be discussed with you. Bring any questions or concerns to the doctor at this time. Jot down any specific instructions given regarding special baby care. Keep a permanent medical record for your baby that includes information about growth, immunizations, medications, and any problems or illnesses.
Babies are born with some natural immunity against infectious diseases because their mothers' infection-preventing antibodies are passed to them through the umbilical cord. This immunity is only temporary, but babies will develop their own immunity against many infectious diseases.
Breastfed babies receive antibodies and enzymes in breast milk that help protect them from some infections and even some allergic conditions.
At birth or shortly after, some infants receive their first artificial immunization, a hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) that is given in three doses. There are combination vaccines, however, that include HBV and are given at the 2-month visit. So other babies will receive no immunizations until 2 months of age.
In either case, it's wise to familiarize yourself with the standard immunization schedule.
Since small problems can indicate big problems for newborns, don't hesitate to call your doctor if you have concerns. Some difficulties to be aware of during this first month:

Talking to the Spirits, by Kenaz Filan and Raven Kaldera
By Brian Walsh | 1 comment
Talking to the Spirits: Personal Gnosis in Pagan Religion, by Kenaz Filan and Raven Kaldera Destiny Books, 9781620550830, 320 pp., 2013This book is an excellent exploration of communication with the spirit world with material of interest to the curious, the absolute beginner, and the experience spirit- worker. While it is primarily informed by Northern Tradition Paganism, it draws first hand examples from a wide array of spirit-workers from a variety of paganisms, including Asatru, Heathens, Druids, Celtic Reconstructionists, Hellenics, Kemetics, modern Shamans, and more. It also does an excellent job reminding us that these communications take place in cultural contexts and in the broader context of the natural world itself.The book begins with an exploration of what personal gnosis is and what it feels like; and since much of the information we receive from the spirits can not be verified and may not be for everyone, how we can respond to what the gods, ancestors, and spirits are telling us. It explores why we want to cultivate more direct communication, what that communication might look like, and some of the risks and dangers along the way.The book frankly addresses delusion, scepticism, lies, and inflated egos in a way which is constructive - discerning without being overly judgemental. It also has an entire chapter addressing the relationship between spirit contact and mental health concerns, do so in a way which is supportive, sensitive and informed. Too many books on magical practices simply say that anyone with any mental health issues should simply avoid esoteric work; but that ignores the fact that much healing can be found in these practices and that some of the sensitivities that leave certain people vulnerable to mental illness can be the same sensitivities that leave some of the same people open to spiritual awareness. Managing these gifts and burdens together seems to me to be a far cry better than shutting everything down because some 'spiritual leaders' don't have the skills to mentor such individuals. Given that I work in the intersection of spirituality and mental health, I was delighted to see it introduced so well here. Read More

wind power to supply the arctic basePage Title Module

Hi Jonathan,
You've made a very good point. As the windiest place on earth, Antarctica should be the most obvious place to use wind power, a few details:
It's so windy in Antarctica that wind generators can be damaged by the very strength of the wind they're trying to harvest.
Antarctic bases don't use that much power. Like anywhere else in the world, storing the power at times of plenty for the times of no wind poses a problem. There's no "grid" of any kind for the excess power to be passed on to.
Fuel is always brought in by ship or overland wherever possible as this is the cheapest option and economics will always prevail, so while not ideal, the current system is not as wasteful as it may seem.
The Australian's are ahead of the rest in using wind power for Antarctic bases, but then, they do have a base in the windiest place on earth - Mawson station http://www.aad.gov.au/default.asp?casid=763
Wind power in Antarctic goes right back to the "Heroic Age", Roald Amundsen amongst others had a windmill onboard his ship, the Fram to generate electricity when he made his historic South Pole journey in 1911. The windmill was damaged at one point by excessive winds however.
I can corroborate the fact that winds can be strong enough to destroy equipment.
Back in 72/73 BAS installed a small wind generator on South Georgia for a two-man glaciologist's hut (up on Mount Hodges I believe it was). Its designers had said it was tested up to wind speeds of 100mph. It was destroyed just a few months after installation when the winds at the base (at sea level) were gusting to 80 knots.
Hi I belive a wind generator was fitted at Halley in 95. I am not sure how it got on. Wind power would be an option but at Halley the largest electrical load is when it is cold and calm. It can get down to -50.C. When it is windy it is usualy mild and thus the electrical load is low. I was generator mechanic at Rothera and Tractor Mec. at Halley so this is from personal experiance. Small solar pannells are used on remote weather stations and to charge the batteries of the radios used in the field.
Re: wind power to supply the arctic base
I imagine most of the fuel taken to antarctica is for heating. Now there are other ways of storing energy from wind power, but using the electricity to crack water into hydrogen and oxygen may make the most sense for antarctica. Getting tanks to antarctica for store the hydrogen would be the largest hurdle, another form of storage would be underground injection.
Re: wind power to supply the arctic base
This seems to be working well:
Re: wind power to supply the arctic base
The BAS base at King Edward Point, South Georgia has a wind generator linked up to a bank of batteries. When I was there in 2002-3 it spent most of its time out of action, I think because of cracks in the structure. When it worked it was quite effective but put out a lot of heat as dumped energy when the wind was strong (as it very often was!). However, it only supplied enough electricity to power one building.
Interestingly, the old whaling station across the bay at Grytviken got its electricity supply from hydroelectric power from a dammed lake (Gull Lake) - and this was 100-odd years ago! I believe that the South Georgia Government may be considering putting in a modern hydroelectric scheme which would power the entire BAS base and government officer's house etc, cutting down the need for fuel to be shipped in.
Re: wind power to supply the arctic base
I have a few different ideas on storing the wind energy.
first theres the tried and true method of hydrolysis. Cyrogenic high pressure tanks can store enormous volumes.
Another idea is to use the electricity to grow algea, which would then be fed to bacteria. The decay of the algee would produce methane, which could be stored and burned when needed.
A third possibility is using the energy to melt ice into warm water and storing it in insulated tanks. When energy is needed during the calm cold weather, the liquid water is poured into pistons and allowed to turn into ice. The expansion of the size would provide the kinetic energy for heating the base.
Re: wind power to supply the arctic base
Some good comments here. There is interest in alternative power in Antarctica, but there have been some obstacles.
First, I'll note that at the two US stations I have been to, pretty much everything is powered with oil - in particular a fuel called AN8. At McMurdo, one tanker comes in every year and refills storage tanks there. At the South Pole, pretty much all the fuel is flown in on LC-130s, and a substantial number of flights are required just to bring in fuel. The United States Antarctic Program has been experimenting with taking fuel to the South Pole overland (the South Pole Traverse, as it is known), but they have run in to a number of problems. They're getting better at it, though.
Another problem is that although there are many talented, intelligent people working in Antarctica, those who are there year after year and who might push some changes through are, unfortunately, not able to be in two places at once, and so they tend to miss out on the latest innovations in alternative energy and other technologies, because the people developing these technologies are -oddly enough - generally not Antarctic residents. Finally, once materials have been found and bought, it can take up to two years for those materials to finally make it to the South Pole. This past season at the South Pole the Pringle's potato chips for sale in the store advertised a contest - entries to be mailed in by no later than December 2005. (It's a good thing food doesn't go bad in Antarctica!)
The end result of all this is that by the time you get as far south as the Pole, the technology tends to be about ten years behind the times. Not for everything, of course. Small items like computers can be shipped all the way by air and are pretty up-to-date, for example, and some of the science is cutting edge. But for run-of-the-mill equipment, especially if its heavy, don't expect the latest model.
Certainly much could be done in the way of alternative energy in Antarctica. If they really wanted to do it, McMurdo Station could probably dispense with most fuel entirely. With Mt. Erebus so close, I'm sure that some of the newer methods of geothermal power would work - year round.
As others have noted, the strong but inconstant winds along the coast are not necessarily useful and may cause equipment trouble. On the other hand, strong, constant winds might work but would require specially made equipment which could be quite expensive. If fuel can be brought in by ship, it would be the cheapest and most reliable source of energy for a small station. I don't know why wind power has not been harvested at the South Pole yet, as the wind there is pretty constant but not excessively windy. I think the highest wind recorded at Pole was about 25 knots (I might have misremembered - maybe it was 50 - but it wasn't hurricane force), and generally the wind is between 5 and 15 knots. A few days during the summer the wind died down to almost nothing, but that is pretty rare. There would still have to be other sources of power for windless days, but wind seems like a good idea at the Pole. So does solar, especially with some of the latest developments in solar. Solar power would be useless during the winter, but the highest load is during the summer when the population is up to around 250, so it could be useful to supplement other sources of energy.

nice job, i hope you choose dm10 (nameless place) in the new map pool tomorrow
thank god! got tired of seeing a floating gun
Cool now would you please fix the routing issues that you've completely ignored for the last 2-3 months?
No idea why a programmer would think it is not needed to show all populated servers by default. At my location the first setting makes a night and day difference (twice the servers if not more).
