6 medium potato, peeled and thinly sliced2 Tbsp unsalted butter or margarine1 small onion, chopped2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese2 cup cheddar flavored potato chip, crushed (I used Lays)1 can cheddar soup (I used Campbell's)1 cup milk salt and pepper to taste
You will need: a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, sprayed with non-stick spray
- Peel & slice your potatoes, set aside.
- In a med. sauce pan, melt the butter and cook the onion until tender. Stir in the soup & milk, season with s&p.
- When that's combined mix in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar (reserve the remaining 1/2 cup) until it's melted and combined. Set aside.
- Smear a spoonful of the sauce into the bottom of the casserole dish and add layers of the thinly sliced potatoes. In between the potato layers add some of the cheese sauce.
- Top the casserole with the remaining sauce and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees uncovered.

Cancer affects the whole person: body, mind and spirit, not just the system it targets. Many find that cancer treatment best serves a patient when conventional treatments targeting the body are supported by integrative medicine approaches that help body, mind and spirit. Research-based, proven methods are used by integrative medicine providers to help decrease the side effects of the conventional treatment such as pain, anxiety, dry mouth and sleep disturbances. While supporting the patient's overall recovery, these five recommendations can help a patient heal and improve peace of mind:
1.) Acupuncture – Originating 3,000 years ago in China, acupuncture involves placing fine needles into specific points on the body to elicit a healing response. The stimulation of these needles corrects the flow of energy, or qi, along channels throughout the body, called meridians. Studies show acupuncture can help with nausea and dry mouth. The treatment can also be helpful for pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and stress.
2.) Massage therapy – Another treatment that has been used for thousands of years, massage therapy is a way to heal the body, maintain wellness and to demonstrate compassionate support to others through touch. There are more than 250 variations of massage and bodywork techniques, each helping to induce relaxation, soothe muscles and promote healing. A Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center study showed a 50 percent reduction in the symptoms of fatigue, pain and anxiety in cancer patients when they received regular massage therapy treatments.

Well I don't believe your going to be happy with 3com or your internet service provider, I would be very upset with both. First of all 3com is not and will not support Linux drivers for your cable modem or any of the ones that they already didn't have a linux driver for. This is because they have discontinued all support for their cable modem line as of August 10th, 2001.
Which means if something happens to your modem or whatever they won't help. Which also means your ISP SHOULD NOT be using this modem. What I recommend you doing is calling your isp and saying you want an external modem that supports Linux. That you know they are distributing an unsupported modem to their users. If they don't, I would demand a refund and wait for DSL. This is just what I would do though. What would piss me off the most is that from what I could find, people have been asking for these drivers since middle of '99! Your ISP REALLY shouldn't distribute an unsupported and discontinued modem.

Maison Martin Margiela - the real deal (?)
32 comments:
Nice post! I love Margiela!ReplyDelete
lol you are clearly are VERY fast reader..Delete
Just -discovered- your blog and i'm enjoying it lots!ReplyDelete
Cette robe est magnifique !ReplyDelete
Totally agree with you on this, the H&M collaborations are such fast fashion they become outdated the day they are launched. Have never even attempted to buy anything from these collections and never will.ReplyDelete
Fashion Agony blog
I completely agree with what you're saying here, I'm guilty of waiting in line in the morning for the H&M collaboration too but I saw a lot of people there who had no idea what MMM was about and were only there because it was H&M...ReplyDelete
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't too familiar with MMM either but I genuinely fell in love with the collection and it made me do my research on the brand and its history. That's what those collaborations are all about according to me, getting to know a new brand and getting familiar with its vision. I can say that I would have wanted the pieces I got even without the H&M seal, but I wouldn't have because I wouldn't have been able to afford them...
Either way you are right, we shouldn't let ourselves fall into the popularity-trap so easily! I loved reading your opinion on this subject, it has definitely got me thinking!
I understand the value and concepts behind the MMM maison, but it simply doesn't resonate with my style at all, which is why I didn't even bother in attempting to get a piece. I do agree with you in everything you said, a very thought-provoking post. Especially the part in which MR describes the phenomena of blinded by the level, and what this whole fast fashion creates. In my opinion it is a monster, and not such a nice one. People who fall for this are fashion victims and or the stereotypical consumerist hipsters who end up having all these feelings of guilt and of identity crisis. We all go through it somehow, but at some point, you need to grow up. xReplyDelete
Fashion Landscape
gorgeous stuff! love those glittery heels! xo, almaReplyDelete
Je suis bien d'accord avec toi, on achète parce que c'est une collection de créateur avec h&m. Ils ont trouvé la bonne technique pour vendre et vendre encore plus!ReplyDelete
those dress are amazing! great piece for spring partiesReplyDelete
I still find it ridiculous that this collaboration was what the brand was initially against, and you could almost say they were they were most well known for that. I mean why else would the designer prefer to remain as anonymous and unseen to the public eye as possible? Yet now we see a complete 360 in the most commerical and accessible way.ReplyDelete
What I love/d about Margiela was the purpose and story behind the pieces that one could discover in order to fully appreciate the design, something that will be lost in half of the clueless H&M shoppers buying into the hype.
To be honest, I am sick of collaborations. Yes I see how great they are in delivering affordability and accessibility to our much loved brands but now it seems it's just being done for the hell of it, for sales instead of carefully chosen partnerships that make sense.
People are just buying into the brand, the name, the image and this makes it far too easy. Instead, they could be doing their research, understanding the brand and the message they stand for and if then they still want the designs then they can save their every penny to get the real deal.
Great post, thank you!
I have never liked the H&M designer collaborations. I think of designer fashion as art (lots of it anyway) and as something that's unique and special. I don't want it to become something we take for granted. I would be very sad if Alexander Wang, Helmut lang, Rick Owens, MJ etc. caved into this. I think I'd rather not own it, than to own the mainstream version that anyone can have. I don't know why, but that's how I feel. The clothes lose something.ReplyDelete
that dress is awesome! and so are those heels xxReplyDelete
Interesting post - and I have to say you're dead on. A lot of the time I think collabs are seen as "on trend" or "fashionable", even if really, you wouldn't have liked it otherwise. I guess the same thing pertains to trends, which is why it's best to just stick to your own style.ReplyDelete
I have my own dilemma, I've been thinking of getting the Chloe Susan boots, but I'm not sure if it is because I like them or if they seem to be having a bit of a moment. It's hard to determine really, and a lot of money to spend on a fashion mistake. Proabbly why four months later I am still thinking on it.
As for the real MMM, the glitter shoes call out to me. I'd love to see what the rest of the shoe looked like!Replies
If I have ANY advice I would say its too late for the Chloé boots. Not because they are "passé" - if you love a good rock-chick boot, there will always be a moment to be had for them.. but because 2 years ago these boots cost half the price tag that they retail for now.. and that is just pure RIPOFF. I hate when designers think its ok to come back with the same piece the year after with an added 400 quid on the label just because they know it has been -and therefore presumably should be again- a sellout..Delete
let me know anyhow :) xxx
I like the advice you gave jamie-lee. Didn't realize they upped the price as much as they did because the previous model sold so well. Next time I'm going to do some research into past pricing of previous season's designs so I can avoid that large mark up!Delete
Enjoyed this post, I think this happens to the best of us. Sometimes we all get a bit swept up in the easy access to current trends. I know I have to do my best to stay away from Zara at times because I'll see a similar designer look at 5 times less in price, and want to scoop it up because it looks just like xyz's version. I end up wanting the piece because the price is right and I feel like everyone else has it and not necessarily because it speaks to me. The more I avoid this the better I end up feeling, it's the 1/2 an hour of should I or shouldn't I, that I have to push through.
Totally agree Bettina, you see something in Zara and realise it's a rip-off of so-and-so's latest catwalk show and are immediately tempted to snatch it up even though a. it probably doesn't look as good as original piece, b. everyone else will have reasoned the same, c. you wouldn't actually have bought that piece from the original collection ..Delete
I'm as guilty as they come though. Case in point, today's high boots snatched up with Givenchy FW12 in mind. No regrets though for once :)

I was sort of indifferent about this blog as a new reader, but this piece garnered so much respect from me to you. You're an amazing writer.ReplyDelete
I think it's a bit ridiculous that some people who are able to afford such artful luxuries are bitter that those who make less have the gall to own the same pieces. I think it stems from some kind of insecurity; now that you own the same piece as the idiot beside you, you'll now be seen as an idiot.
The clothes don't "lose something" just because they're now in the hands of some airheaded label-whore -- that isn't the responsibility of the designer. Do they think that all who are fortunate enough to purchase realdeal MMM are devotees of his legacy and message? Bullshit. If MMM wanted their designs to be enjoyed and appreciated by many, accept that and don't be an elitist asshole. It's no different than someone getting mad that their favorite band has "sold out" and started allowing their songs to be played on the radio.Replies
ah what an interesting perspective you bring to the table - thank you!Delete
I do actually agree with you. And my reasoning really wasn't 'if everyone wants it, surely it can't be real fashion anymore'. Because you are right of course, and it works both ways (its a subject I've been turning in my head for another post): does one need to 'understand' what one is buying into in order to enjoy it? Obviously not! As you say, those with the big bucks spending away in Harrods don't actually give a shit about the inspiration of the designer or anything of the sort. And it is not because I have (wasted my time?) looking said inspiration up that I'm more entitled to that piece. But what I was getting at here was more the idea of people all buying into something that they don't actually really like in the first place. Unlike Lanvin or Jimmy Choo, MMM really isn't one of those brands that thousands of people dream of owning. I'm sorry for saying that because I thoroughly respect the work of this fashion house, but it just isn't. And the reason is because the clothes are loopy. Clever, sure, but absolutely bonkers. And most of us are not comfortable with looking like a mad design student in our day to day lives - indeed even find it silly. I just find it ironic that suddenly out of nowhere we all need a clutch the size of a small person etc..
To be continued, for sure. I might use some of your ideas to touch on that overdue post, if you don't mind bien sûr!

I completely agree, MMM is an acquired taste. Having said that, I imagine many of the people who trekked out to their local H&M solely because Kanye rapped about Margiela in a song would have been taken aback that everything wasn't so "Kanye-esque". The nude trompe l'oeil fishnet tights and the comically large candy clutch? Cute! Oversized turtleneck or duvet coat? Weird.Delete
I live in the Californian suburbs and when I wore my key ring necklace to work one day, my co-workers thought it looked like a harness for livestock. Different strokes for different folks!
great post, xReplyDelete
Very intellectual article. I must say that I don't lıke H&M's collaborations and don't buy any of these launches. It's just against my personal understanding of fashion.ReplyDelete
What a great article.ReplyDelete
I really don't like this collaborationReplyDelete
Je suis d'accord avec toi. C'est une sorte d'avatisme un peu mais avec des vêtements ! Mais personnellement il y a des pièces de cette collection que je trouve sublimes comme les talons et les vestes. CReplyDelete
Thank you again for such a well written post. I think of all the collaborations that H&M have done, MMM has definitely been the strangest. I agree they're not the typical type and I'm surprised that it got as much attention as it did. I thought a lot of people wouldn't get this collection. And I guess the less 'commercial' pieces are probably still in stock. I have to say I am a sucker for collaborations, but I'm just happy to finally get my hands on a bit of MMM goodness. I am impressed that the collection kept so close to the MMM aesthetic, I thought they would water down the cray-cray for the masses. It is good to see that some real designs can sell to the masses, for whatever reason they chose to buy it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah I genuinely liked a lot of pieces too.. It's funny how these things happen. :) xDelete
I didn't buy any of it, or try to. Not to say that I didn't like some of the pieces because I did but did I like them more than other high street buys, or even some of the pieces in H&M Trend? No, perhaps not, and of course, although the price is good, it's still higher.ReplyDelete
You speak the truth, I like that. I hope you see someone in the dress soon (and I will save you a giant candy wrapper on Christmas day and post it on to you ;) - actually though, that bag was my absolute favourite piece, ridiculously sublime.
♥ Thankfifi
This is so well written, I felt exactly the same about the MMM X H&M collection, I mean no there was no disappointment with the collection but it made womder do any of these hoards of girls fighting through the door have any idea what they're buying into ? without sounding like a tool as my taste in fashion matured I became a huge admirer of MMM then a few years late to see a collaboration with a highstreet brand, seems so very Un-MMM ?ReplyDelete
You're completely right about how easy it is to buy into it all though :), great post again.
I've been thinking about this too for the past few weeks, I suppose everybody did. But just like you I'm "as guilty as the next" too. ; )ReplyDelete
Great post though, very honest and funny at the same time.

www.linux.iso is a good one. you can do a google search for it and maybe find a hidden server that you can get a decent bandwidth from.
I've just come in to possesion of a couple of old surplus laptops from work. I'd like to put linux on it. At home, and at one of my consulting jobs, I run RH 6.2. I realize that's a bit old, and I'd like to try some of the new features. But where can I get it?
I saw that RedHat now charges for it on their web site. I went to CheapBytes and they had it for sale at the regular price; and they had something called PinkHat.
Did I miss something?
www.linux.iso is a good one. you can do a google search for it and maybe find a hidden server that you can get a decent bandwidth from.
don't you want RH9 ?
[quote author=gjansky link=board=7;threadid=7034;start=0#65259 date=1053014822]
Did I miss something?
Red Hat's ftp is still free to grab isos and rpms/srpms. Just grab an iso from their (or a mirror's) ftp. And to second Lovechild's opinions, go for 9. Much cleaner.
If I was to drop Gentoo for something else it would probably be RedHat 9 since it's so rocking... RedHat really fuels some important developments and this release just sums it up nicely... rocking.
Or post in the flea market. Someone might be willing to burn you a copy for shipping price.
You can get it from one of the mirrors listed here:
I really like the GaTech mirror. It's really quick for me.

You can get it from one of the mirrors listed here:
Thanks for the link.
I notice all of the files end with .iso
I can download them, and put them on my hard drive before I burn them to cdrom. Do I need to do anything with them before I use them to install?
Ie, if I have a fresh hard drive, can I just pop in the cdrom with the disk 1 iso and will it run? I've never pulled the distros off the net before so I'm not too familiar with the process.
I'm looking forward to this....as the links showed RH 9.0 for download!
I can t say for sure how to burn with Windows (like Nero, CDRWIN, Roxio), but if you run linux already, XCDRoast will ask you to setup the program as to where to look for images and where to save images. Just put the iso there and the rest is pretty self explanatory.
Now, I hope somebody backs me up or corrects my mistakes. This is 3 or 4 year old info, so ... Nero uses .bin files IIRC, so rename the iso to a bin file instead and it will work. Whatever Nero uses for cd images can be done like this.
Essentially all an iso is an exact blueprint of how to build a CDR. Where and what files to write, how big, whether its iso9660/Joliet/Romeo and has rockridge support ... blah blah blah. So its not some file that you burn so when you look at the cdr, it has one .iso file. Its like a config file + data. I hope that makes sense. But IIRC Nero and CDRWin can be done really easily like that. No real need for a cue file, since its an iso.
The gatech server is pretty quick!
Under "File Type," the ftp server has the .iso file listed as "Easy CD Creator Image File." So, after I'm finished downloading them to my hard drive, does this mean I just need to change the name of them before I burn it to cdrom? I'm downloading them to a windows machine, and coincidently, I have Easy CD Creator on this machine.

Monmouth, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team doesn't mind putting in a little extra time on the court. Especially if the result is like Saturday's 74-67 double overtime win at Monmouth College.
The Buccaneers went on a 7-0 run that took up the better part of the second extra period to pull away and secure a key win in the race for the Midwest Conference postseason.
Early on the Bucs couldn't get going. MC jumped out to a 10-2 lead after five minutes and got it up to a nine-point spread several times before Beloit pulled back within six with 6:00 left in the half. But Monmouth closed strong and headed to the lockerroom with a 32-23 lead.
With halftime adjustments made the Buccaneers kept chipping away in the second half, finally getting their first lead of the game at 49-48 with 4:14 remaining on a pair of free throws by Chris Bremner. Bremner hit a jumper with 2:15 left to give Beloit a 55-53 lead but Monmouth hit two free throws with 1:23 left to tie it up again. Neither team could score in the remaining minute-plus, forcing overtime.
The first OT was tight throughout. The Fighting Scots took a 63-61 lead at 1:31 but Ahmad Shamsid-Deen hit a jumper at 1:11 to tie it at 63-all. Again, that finished the scoring and overtime #2 was ahead. The Bucs broke away from a 64-64 tie at the 4:16 mark with an extended 7-0 run to take a 71-64 lead with just under a minute remaining, sealing the win.
Tyler Butke paced the Buccaneers with a double-double on 23 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. James Lazarcik had 12 points with eight rebounds and Bremner added 11 points. Shamsid-Deen had nine points and five assists.
Beloit looks to keep things going on Wednesday night when they host Ripon College in Flood Arena. Game time is at 7:00 p.m.

- Churches
Church of St. Elizabeth of the House of Árpád
The impressive Neo-Gothic spires of this church rise to an impressive 76 metres above the city. Designed by Imre Steindl, the construction was finished in 1901. There is a beautiful rose garden surrounding this Catholic church; thus the name of the square, the 'Square of Roses" (Rózsák tere).
Dohány Street Synagogue
The Great Synagogue in Dohány street is the world's second largest synagogue. It was built by the Neolog Jewish community of Budapest between 1854 and 1859; its architect was Ludwig Förster from Vienna, Austria. Parts of the interior were designed by Ferenc Feszl. The flat-ceiling interior can accommodate nearly 3,000: there are 1497 seats for men on the ground floor and 1472 for women on the two upper balconies.
Inner City Parish Church
The oldest church in Pest, dating back to the 12th century. Built in Romanesque style on the site of the grave of martyr Bishop Gellért, who was, according to the legend, put in a barrel and rolled off of today's Gellért hill.
Mathias Church
The church is officially called The Church of Our Lady, and served as a coronation church from the 16th century on. Its vast ecclesiastical collection and treasury is open for visitors. During the centuries, the church underwent several major transformations, the first of which was the addendum of the Mary-gate (Mária-kapu), and in 1470, the 60-metre south side tower, with the King's raven ensign, was erected.
St. Stephen's Basilica
The St. Stephen's Basilica is Budapest's largest church; it can hold 8,500 worshippers simultaneously, and its official ecclesiastical name is Lipót City Parish Church. Its main façade overlooks Szent István tér and the Danube via Zrínyi utca. The construction started in 1851, but for various reasons, such as the death of the original architect and the collapse of the dome, it was fully completed only in 1905.

A community in which webmasters can ask for help with topics such as PHP coding , MySQL , IT jobs, web design, IT security.
Moderators: macek, egami, gesf
you should start by trying. if that fails, you should come back and ask for help by showing what you tried, and what the result was. and probably not a horrible idea to show the string in question. If you want someone to do your homework you should at least show them the question.
.....I have a string containing characters with 7 different fonts. How do I make a list of the characters in each font? Is this possible to do in PHP?....
Not a slap..... BUT you should first understand what you are trying to do.
PHP is a server side scripting langauge and the issues related to font happen on the client side, on the presentation side - in your browser.
your best options are either to look for a way to read rich text with php as suggested before, or open it in word and save it out to html. if it preserves your formatting as it should, there are several easy ways to go from there
Thanks for the input. The characters of different font are not on a webpage -- they are in a Word file. The php program loads the contents of the file. As it loads the characters I want it to sort them by their font.

Asian elephants were historically found throughout the continent, from West Asia along the Iranian coast into the Indian subcontinent, eastward into Southeast Asia and China at least as far as the Yangtze River. This giant mammal, formerly occurring over three and a half million square miles, is now extinct in West Asia, Java, and most of China, and survives in isolated pockets scattered across grasslands and tropical forests in thirteen Asian countries.Asian elephants are herbivores that subsist on a diet of leaves, stems, fruit, grasses, and the bark of many trees and other plants. Much of the species' habitat has been converted into farmland, so elephants frequently feed on domestic crops, creating serious conflict with humans. The survival of this endangered species depends on figuring out ways to cut down on these sometimes-deadly clashes and preserve adequate habitat for elephants.
Video camera traps in Thailand's Western Forest Complex show amazing scenes of tigers, elephants, clouded leopards and other rare wildlife prowling about, alive and well. The footage offers a hopeful sign for conservationists, whose efforts to save the region's wildlife are clearly paying off.
A growing online black market is creating new demand for items like elephant ivory chopsticks, tiger claws and whiskers, and wallets made from clouded leopard skin. WCS's Wildlife Crime Unit is working with Indonesian authorities to investigate the illegal Internet trade.
WCS scientists upgrade camera-trap research by developing huge virtual photo albums of species living in large landscapes.
The Myanmar government creates a Protected Tiger Area as large as Vermont in the country's northern forests. The Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve provides sanctuary to a wide range of species, from big cats to small birds, along with many rare plants.
The forest haven for monkeys, tigers, and elephants also stores carbon and will help in the global fight against climate change. Key research conducted by WCS led to the park's creation.
WCS and the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks find a major Asian elephant population in Taman Negara National Park. It may be the largest in Southeast Asia.
It's true what they say about animals with big feet—they've got big ranges. Conservationists have hatched a new strategy to help save elephants across their turf.

- How to Read a Study Record
This application is a competing continuation of a grant in which we developed and pilot tested a computerized Therapeutic Workplace designed to train and employ adults as data entry operators. A randomized trial is planned over 5 years to investigate the Therapeutic Workplace business as a maintenance intervention to sustain long-term abstinence and employment. Welfare recipients in methadone treatment, actively using cocaine, and at risk for contracting or spreading HIV infection will participate in an initial Therapeutic Workplace training phase. Participants (N=104) who become abstinent and skilled will be randomly assigned to an Abstinence & Employment, or an Employment Only group. Participants in the Abstinence & Employment group will be employed for one year in a Therapeutic Workplace business and will have to provide drug-free urine samples to work and earn salary. Employment Only participants will be offered employment for one year, but these participants will not have to provide drug-free urine samples to work. This study will provide a rigorous evaluation of the efficacy of the Therapeutic Workplace business as a long-term treatment of cocaine addiction and unemployment; determine the benefits of requiring daily evidence of abstinence to work; and provide information on the extent to which a Therapeutic Workplace business can become self-sustaining. This research could provide firm scientific foundation for the dissemination of Therapeutic Workplace businesses in the long-term treatment of cocaine addiction and unemployment. The main hypothesis being tested is that cocaine abstinence will be reliably maintained during the yearlong intervention evaluation period only in the group exposed to the explicit abstinence maintenance intervention. We expect that cocaine abstinence in the Abstinence and Employment group will be significantly greater than cocaine abstinence in the Employment Only group.

Comedy, Romance
A comedy centering around Donna, a young woman from meager beginnings, who has high hopes for the future and dreams of living the glamorous life. Donna dreams of becoming a first class international flight attendant, and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that her dreams come true. The road to success though, is rarely a smooth flight, and as she begins her trip she encounters more turbulence than even she bargained for. But the real question is whether her bumpy start will force her to leave her real dreams behind, or if it will take her on a journey of a lifetime.

Lets take a look at notable Mets' farmhands down in the Caribbean winter leagues.
In general, at this time of year, these teams carry enormous rosters while waiting for more established big leaguers to turn up in November. These teams are not built around development, but winning thus they will keep the young guys on a very short leash. If a player does not produce, he will be sent home.
– In his first nine games for the Bravos de Margarita, 3B Wilmer Flores is hitting .324/.425/.471 for the Bravos de Margarita in the Venezuelan Winter League. He has three extra-base knocks, five walks and three whiffs. That's all good stuff, but he's also committed three errors, all at third base, in his nine games.
– Jordany Valdespin has played two games at second base and four in rightfield for the Tigres del Licey in the Domincan Winter League while hitting .400/.500/.750 with a double, two homers, four walks and two strikeouts in his six games so far.
Low Playing Time Position Guys in the DWL
The following guys are on rosters, but are not playing very much at all.
– Juan Lagares – Aguilas Cibaenas – 0-for-1
– Jefry Marte – Toros del Este – 0-for-1
– Francisco Pena – Aguilas Cibaenas – 3-for-11, 2 HR, 1 SB (!)
– Aderlin Rodriguez – Gigantes del Cibao – 0-for-1
The Mets have relatively few pitchers in the Caribbean leagues at the moment.
– Gonzalez Germen – Toros del Este – DWL – did not retire a batter while giving up a run on three hits in his only appearance.
– Elvin Ramirez – Gigantes del Cibao – DWL – gave up a run on two hits in his only inning of work.
– Armando Rodriguez – Leones del Escogido – DWL has 1.2 scoreless innings of relief work to his credit.

From Field to Market: Banana Experts Set Fairtrade Direction
Eduardo Bluhm, FLO product manager for bananas, smiled thinking back to the two days of meetings. Gathering representatives from all levels of the banana trade was not an easy task, and bringing them together in one room had the potential for some intense dialogue.
"Individually, banana farmers have demands and challenges that differ from current market trends driving down prices. Producers need a fair price for their product, but traders and retailers strive to compete in the market," Bluhm said after the meetings.
On July 13-14, seventeen people from throughout the banana industry gathered in Bonn for the first FLO Product Advisory Council (PAC) for bananas. PAC consultations help staff at FLO gather market and product intelligence that supports global product strategies for Fairtrade.
"You bring the workers, the small producer, the plantation owner, the exporter, the importers, the supermarkets, the advocacy groups, you bring them all to the table and views, proposals and new ideas are shared," Bluhm said.
Gathered together for the PAC meetings, the attendees had the opportunity to learn about the challenges faced by each other. The PAC serves as a platform for discussing important topics that have a tremendous impact on all involved.
"Take, for example, the use of herbicides on banana farms. We have a number of different views and we look at how this subject impacts the worker, the farmer, the environment, the costs of production, the marketing and the confidence in the Fairtrade mark," Bluhm said. "Even though each participant came with a portion of knowledge the others hadn't considered before, we had great outcome and agreement."
"It was interesting and informative and we learned a lot about the supply chain," said Sarah Blanford, a technologist from Sainsbury's, a grocery store chain in the UK that sources 100% Fairtrade bananas. "The key, when we came to the conclusion, is what will enter the new standards and influence future decisions."
Throughout the rest of the year, members of the Banana PAC will meet in conference calls and online to continue discussing points raised at the meetings and advise FLO on relevant industry topics.
Bluhm smiled again, "We had great outcomes from the first PAC meeting and we need to keep the momentum to achieve even more. Now the real work begins."

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # SKS000C
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Fenders we have in stock.
SKS Raceblade XL Fender Set $0.00
Make your riding mates happy
Anyone who lives in a area that touts "rain" as a season is probably used to slogging home soaking wet after a long ride. And even though rainfall inevitably leaves us wet, nothing is worse than being soaked to the bone from road spray. SKS's Raceblade XL Fender Set is designed with the same attention to detail and ease of use as its regular Raceblade, but it fits bikes with wider tires.
Americans have an aversion to fenders, it seems, but in Europe, even the pros train with them. After all, they don't just keep you dry, they keep your wheel splash out of your teammates' eyes. And not only do you want happy teammates, you want them to see you when you signal for debris or to stop.
The Raceblades are quick to install for those rides when the clouds roll in just as you arrive at the start. They use a rubber grommet system to attach to your bike. Think of it as working like a quick release system. It takes 10 seconds of tool-free time to put them on and take them off. They stay firmly in place, without having to screw in bolts and nuts, and they won't mar your frame.
The Raceblade fits 700c wheels equipped with tires ranging in size from 25-32mm, meaning they are compatible with the wider, treaded tires on your cyclocross bike. They're available in Black.

SKS Raceblade XL Fender Set

Very good 1/2 fenders
Application: Wet weather fender set for 25-32 mm wide tires.
PROS: 1. Made in Germany. Good quality. Good looking. 2. A lot of riders are using 25 mm tires for riding and training these days. And even 28 mm tires for training on wet and rough roads. So these XL fenders work great! They fit 25-28 mm tires perfectly. They do not look too big or too wide. 3. You do not have to remove your front & rear brakes to mount these 1/2 fenders.
CONS: 1. The fit is not as stable as full fenders that mount onto permanent frame eyelets or eyelet washers. 2. Not "full" fenders -this is a pro or con depending on your needs. 3. Getting a truly "fixed" mounting requires some time, fiddling, and the use of the "optional" zip ties and fender screws. At this point they are not really a "quick release" system.
I know of 3 companies that make really good fender sets: SKS, Portland Design Works, and Planet Bike. I won't tell you which to buy; too many variables are involved. But I will say that for training on race bikes with 25-28 mm tires, these SKS Raceblades XL fit perfect and are my current favorite. Good luck!

Joyce is the first client and she is the mother of one of Ami's friends. Joyce has Alopecia, which has caused her to lose all of her hair, including her eyebrows and eyelashes. She's already had brows and eyeliner tattooed, but this time she's going for something a little bigger. Ami tattoos a beautiful traditional style butterfly right on the back of her smooth head. Joyce doesn't want people to pity her – she's healthy and happy and wants people to love themselves no matter what they look like on the outside. Ami says he's never tattooed a head before Joyce, but he did a great job.
Lloyd Banks is a rapper who formed G Unit with fellow musician, 50 Cent. His second solo album, Rotten Apple, was scheduled for release on October 10. He decides he wants a full backpiece to commemorate the album and to represent the city of New York from his perspective – the gritty, dark and dangerous corners of the city that they don't show in movies. He says it explains why the music that comes from that area is so aggressive. Lloyd has his first consult with Garver over the phone and Garver translates his vision into art exactly as Lloyd pictured it in his own mind. They get started on the tattoo, but Garver is apprehensive about it since Lloyd wants the entire backpiece done in one day.
Jacqueline arrives to talk to Nunez about getting some angel wings on the back of her neck for her father who passed away. She retells stories of a street-wise tough guy who lived a mysterious and secret life – no one knew what he was actually into or where his money came from. Jacqueline loved him very much but needs the assurance that despite his shady past, her father found his place in heaven.
Lee is working in the shop – removing all of the books from the shelf, putting them in order of size, dusting every corner, organizing drawings into color-coded file folders, sharpening a week's worth of pencils and lining them all up in neat little rows – and Ami's getting more and more annoyed by the minute. Apparently they never realized Lee was OCD before, and now he's been with Ami for one day and is already getting on his nerves. Lee says that since he's not creative or artistic in any way, his contribution to the shop is cleaning.
Courtney wants a tattoo from Ami that is just like the one her husband had before he passed away. It's a circular design and she wants snowflakes on each side of it. Courtney explains that her husband always loved the snow and he had been battling cancer for a couple of years. Although it wasn't in the forecast, it snowed the day he passed. This was really a heart-wrenching story but it's not possible for me to write the sadness and emotion that Courtney expressed in her story. I really feel for her and her two young children she is now raising alone.
Donovan brings in a picture of his grandparents for Kat to use as a reference for a portrait tattoo on his leg. It's a celebration tattoo as well as a memorial – Donovan thought the world of both of them. He laughs as he retells stories of his grandfather and how funny he was, but then says he never even met his grandmother because he was only a baby when he died, but that she has saved his life on two occasions. When he was still a baby, his mother was woken up by her mother's voice demanding that she go upstairs immediately. Still groggy, she followed her mother's instructions and went upstairs to find Donovan blue and choking in his crib and was able to save him. When Donovan was older, he was driving down a winding road and suddenly heard a woman's voice demanding that he pull over right away. He obeyed and was quickly met by an 18-wheeler barreling down the road in his lane. Kat holds up her arm to show Donovan the chill bumps on her arm!
After several hours under the needle, Lloyd Banks is still steady as a rock but Garver's back can't handle the position anymore. He tells Lloyd he really needs to stop there and pick it back up later, which will ensure that he is able to do his best work. Lloyd admits he's glad Garver caved first because he was thinking he wasn't going to be able to take much more himself. So, the rest of that tattoo will probably be saved for another episode but it's at least 2/3 done and is looking great already.

After a not-at-all scientific poll of the Who What Wear office, we've narrowed down our favorite sunscreens to the tubes and bottles pictured above. While some of us embrace the pale and others can't help but spend a day in the sun, we're all devoted sunscreen wearers, so whichever category you fall into, there's a winning formula above.
For tips on proper application, however, we consulted an expert. Doctor Francesa Fusco, a medical and cosmetic dermatologist at Dr. Patricia Wexler's office in New York, says the most common mistake is not using enough sunscreen. When she says to cover your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, she means it. "Apply it to the scalp," she insists. "Get a spray sunscreen, spray it on a wedge-one of those foamy wedges used for makeup-and rub it along the scalp. Don't forget the ears and back of neck."
Once you reach your face, "Apply a marble-sized amount, really getting as close to the hairline as you can," Dr. Fusco says. "I have a special light in my office so that I can see where you've distributed the sunscreen; most people don't get it close enough to the hairline." And of course, the magic word when it comes to sunscreen: reapply. At this point, you should know to reapply post-swim, but don't forget about your face. "It's important to reapply in those areas, especially along the mouth and under the nose," says Dr. Fusco.
The one thing you shouldn't do, however, is rub anything onto your eyelids. The chemicals will soak through and onto your actual eyeballs. So wear sunglasses, and if you're really worried about burning your lids, brush on a mineral powder with SPF, like Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral Powder SPF 45 ($30).

Tips From Top Wella Stylist Alexandra Matiz
How long have you been a stylist, and how did it become your passion?
I've been a stylist over 20 years and find it to be a creative, fun, and always-evolving profession. Also I love that I am able to touch people in such a special way that makes them feel good about themselves.
What are some trends we can look forward to this season?
Some of the trends for this season are colors are getting richer; I prefer to say that rather than juicier. Reds are more natural, tone-on-tone dimension is very in. Blondes will have more saturated golds with violet hues in them. A remembrance of classic champagne tones. Hairstyles are easygoing, effortless, and soft to the touch.
When it comes to keeping color-treated hair looking healthy, what are your best tips?
To help keep your color-treated hair looking its best, make sure that you that use products that are color-safe, like the Brilliance Shampoo and Conditioner from Wella Professionals. To help condition your ends, which tend to be more damaged, use a weekly intense treatment for five minutes, like the Brilliance Deep Treatment Mask, also from the Wella Professionals line.
What are some tips to keeping hair looking healthy between cuts?
To help your locks looking their best between visits, always protect your hair from overly working it with your tools. A great way is to prep your hair with Velvet Amplifier, which will improve manageability and improve your finished look. To protect your hair from heat damage, use a thermal protectant spray like Thermal Image.
I especially love Wella's Natural Volume Mousse. It gives tons of body without building up too much in the hair. Flowing Form is also one of my faves, because it helps to control rebellious hair. I love finishing the look with Stay Essential hair spray.

Over the past year, Nine Mile Canyon has been a frequent topic of discussion for the county commission. Yet discussions have ended regarding the canyon site known as Cottonwood Glenn. On Nov. 4, commissioners formally accepted the patent for the area from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Regional BLM director Jerry Kenzcka presented the patent. According to commissioners, he was greatly responsible for the change of hands concerning the area.
"This is really a nice addition to what we're trying to do up at Nine Mile for multiple uses," said Commissioner Bill Krompel.
The Cottonwood Glenn site has been developed and worked on by the county for over ten years. While about $100,000 has been spent on the area, it's been owned by the BLM. Facilities include a parking area, restrooms and fences around historic buildings. The site is also located close to several examples of ancient rock art and historic homesteads that have attracted out- of- area visitors.
"It's a great facility for us to have in that canyon," said Commissioner John Jones.
Many agencies were involved with the changeover. Although the project has been an ongoing effort, the county was grateful for the efforts of all involved, including the county roads department and the Utah Travel Council.
"I'm excited about the agreement. It brings all these people together under one house," said Commissioner Krompel.
The commission has been working towards multiple uses related to numerous areas in the county. In many instances, such effort requires cooperation from other agencies such as the BLM. Although Mr. Kenzcka is not likely to stay in the area for long, commissioners indicated that they approve of his actions.
"I hope he can (stay) a little longer; he's doing a good job," said Commissioner Jones.
In other business, commissioners reviewed and approved a tax revision on the Westwood subdivision, pending a statute legality. The revision is an effort to keep the subdivision tax appraisals uniform. Also approved was a contract to provide drug abuse services for the energy extraction industries via Four Corners Behavioral Health.
Substance abuse is a growing problem for Carbon County. Several programs have been established with county support to help better fight it, including the county drug courts. These courts have been established for some time and focus on the rehabilitation of non-violent offenders. While they have seen success, they have only been able to service a limited number, until now.
Seventh District Court Judge George Harmond presented the commission with a drug court update which included plans for expansion and updated statistics for the court. According to Harmond, the court will now expect to see about 70 participants at a time, up from 18. The court will hopefully continue to have low re-offense rates (currently 30 percent).
"The drug courts operate on evidence-based practices. We use studies to help people with their problems, which is very cost effective, because we expect people to become productive members of the community after treatment," said Harmond.
By Harmond's estimates, about 80 percent of all offenses that go to court in the county are, in some way, drug- related. While some offenders may land in jail, it costs about $65 a day to keep them there.
"Savings on this program are huge; even if we only had a 10 percent success rate, it would be better than the old system," said Commissioner Mike Milovich.

Whoever coined the phrase "practice makes perfect" must have been an avid fashion lover. Whether it's honing a unique aesthetic, shopping sans buyer's remorse, or elevating a look with the right accessories and attitude, one does not become an object of sartorial splendor overnight; it takes practice, and perhaps even a little coaching. And just when you think you've reached the pinnacle of your personal career as a style enthusiast, you'll find that there's still plenty to learn, and an infinite amount to try, which is why we know you'll appreciate today's edition of Styling Tips! Whether you're drawn to Jessica Hart's fresh take on monochromatic dressing or Jade Williams' sleek and successful merging of prints, read on and remember that there's always more to add to your fashion arsenal!
&subidTip # 1: Update your wardrobe with a printed shorts suit.
rnWhile there are always ways to spice up your existing wardrobe, sometimes a new and exciting option can serve as a welcome break from your usual suspects. If you're wondering what your next purchase should be, we suggest taking a cue from Zoe Saldana. The actress attended the Los Angeles Premiere of Captain America: The First Avenger at the El Capitan Theatre last month wearing a Balmain shorts suit paired with Kain's Classic V-Neck Tee ($85). Saldana finished her red carpet look with studded, sky-high Brian Atwood pumps and a structured Lanvin clutch, taking her outfit from simply stylish to completely fabulous. We think Saldana's updated nighttime look exudes an always-stylish air of nonchalance, which fits perfectly with her cool-girl aesthetic. If you're searching for some additional options to try, we recommend checking out Rag & Bone's Sullivan Jacket ($375) and Tennis Shorts ($80), which have a similar silky texture and cool black and tan print. If you're seeking something bolder, Topshop's Multi Co-Ord Ditsy Floral Print Blazer ($60) and Multi Acid Ditsy Print Shorts ($76) are must-have picks for achieving a likeminded shorts suit.
rnrnTip # 2: Amp up mixed prints with bright, bold accents.
rnHere at Who What Wear, we're all about stepping outside of your comfort zone and taking risks with your wardrobe. That's why we approve of the way Jade Williams upped the fashion ante with a daring and well-executed outfit at a Net-a-Porter party for Dolce & Gabbana in London last month. Williams wore a leopard-and-star print dress from said brand's F/W 11 collection, and took the look to another level by adding Aldo's Capecoral Pumps ($80), accompanied by an equally eye-catching red manicure. We love how Williams refused to limit herself to just one statement piece, instead building an entire ensemble comprised solely of show-stopping options. To recreate this high-impact look, we suggest pairing Forever 21's Leopard & Zipper Top ($16) with Moschino Cheap and Chic's Dot Pencil Skirt ($455), then introduce a sultry pop of color into the mix with her exact Aldo shoes or DV by Dolce Vita's Briar Pumps ($90). Now, if you want to further achieve William's smart mix, pick up Dior's new-for-fall Vernis Nail Lacquer ($22) in Red Royalty today!
rnrnTip # 3: Balance a ladylike top with leather pieces.
rnFeminine pieces are necessary staples in every woman's wardrobe, and while ladylike separates obviously work well when worn together, there's something very now about adding a little edge to the equation. Take, for example, the outfit that Coco Rocha wore to the David Yurman Summer Soiree in New York City last month. Rocha paired a black and white, printed button-up with an orange-red blazer (both vintage Louis Feraud), and did we mention the matching pocket square? The model took the look up a notch with a pair of sleek leather leggings by Reiss and patent leather oxfords. Rocha's look is uptown meets downtown, and we find the merging of the two worlds to be quite charming. If you feel the same way, then you must try Whistles' Cutie Spot & Stripe Blouse ($164) with Gap's Faux Leather Leggings ($80) and Forever 21's Patent Leatherette Oxfords ($25). Just be sure to throw on ALICE by Temperley's Cropped Jersey Jacket ($340) to brighten up your look a la Rocha.
rnrnTip # 4: Elevate a basic tee with a high-waisted skirt.
rnDree Hemingway is a mainstay in our Styling Tips series due to her impeccable taste and ability to elevate basic pieces to create memorable and fashion-forward ensembles. Such is the case with the outfit she donned for lunch at The Brant Foundation Art Study Center back in June. The model transformed a basic white t-shirt-specifically the T-Shirt 2 ($50) from Johan Lindeberg's new line BLK DNM's-into a luncheon-worthy option by pairing it with the black, high-waisted Skirt 1 ($400) from the same collection, and adding a seasonal pop of color to her otherwise neutral palette with an orange Marc Jacobs bag. We appreciate Hemingway's relaxed and minimal sensibilities, as they allow her to create outfits that are refreshing and not a bit stuffy. Fortunately, this smart combo is easy to pull off! If you're in need of a new white tee, we suggest picking up her exact t-shirt or National Jean Company's St Vincent Burnout V-Neck Shirt ($73), and pairing either top with Alfie's Maxi Column Skirt ($240) or Mason by Michelle Maison's Skirt ($185). We promise the resulting outfit will be equally chic!
rnrnTip # 5: Put together an ombre colorblock look for fall.
rnWhen we spotted up-and-coming actress Brit Marling in Preen at the New York City premiere of Another Earth last month, we knew that her uber-chic look was fashion's newest answer to color blocking. Instead of a harsh juxtaposition of hues, Marling's dress featured a fluid, ombre shift in tones, moving from hot pink to peony, and culminating in a lush cherry red. We love to see updated versions of popular trends, and this ombre ensemble is no exception-it retains a slightly understated quality that allows for a successful trend-transition, allowing us to carry colorblocking into the fall/winter season. While finding a similar ombre colorblock dress may prove challenging, you can create a similar look with a skirt and top combo. For example, we think Three Dots' V-Neck Tee ($30) in Pink Punch would look great worn with Zara's Skirt with Slit ($80) in Red. Of course, if you prefer a dress you can always try Diane von Furstenberg's Olivia Dress ($325), which transitions from light pink to orange, or Topshop's sunny-hued Cream Colour Block Pleated Dress ($110).
rnrnTip # 6: Punch up a white blouse with a statement necklace.
rnSeeing as we are always on the hunt for fresh and of-the-moment ways to bring life to our basic wardrobe staples, it should come as no surprise we're completely enamored with Elizabeth Olsen's latest outfit. The actress (and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's younger sis) caught our eye at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association luncheon in Beverly Hills earlier this month when she accessorized her white button-down blouse with statement necklaces! It's important to note that she kept the multi-colored, textured baubles in the spotlight by opting for minimalist separates-a clever styling trick indeed! To punch up your next office outfit, snag Forever 21's Cloudy Beaded Necklace ($5) and layer it with a visually intriguing piece, like Avant et Apres' Multi Strand Antique Silver Beaded Necklace ($288) and Sorrelli's Aurora Sky Multi-Crystal Circular Bib Necklace ($128), and all eyes will be on you.
rnrnTip # 7: Create a high-impact outfit with a head-to-toe print.
rnWe've already established that mixing prints is a great option for creating a standout look, but it's also important to note that choosing separates that feature matching prints produces a similar head-turning effect. Giovanna Battaglia proved this point at a launch party for Bottega Veneta's new fragrance-held at The Academy Mansion in New York last month-when she showed up in a head-to-toe, bird-bedecked look from No. 21's S/S 11 collection. The L'Uomo Vogue fashion editor chose to wear the outfit in its original runway form, pairing the printed short sleeve top with matching cropped pants, and set off the ensemble with a pair of color-coordinated Fendi sandals and a bag designed by her sister, Sara Battaglia. We think that this is definitely a risk worth taking, as the result, especially in Battaglia's case, is an undeniably fashion-forward look. Happily, we've found an in-store alternative that is sure to please all you adventurous dressers out there. We'd like to direct you to Boutique by Topshop's Peony Print Silk Sheer Panel Crop Top ($90) and Wide-Leg Trousers ($200). Not only are these separates incredibly comfortable, but they also happen to be perfect in keeping with this season's big florals trend-just another reason we're currently obsessed!
rnrnTip # 8: Try a single-hued look with minimal separates.
rnMonochromatic dressing is undoubtedly chic, but putting together a successful single-hued ensemble can be tricky. Luckily, the outfit that model Jessica Hart wore to the New York premiere of Sarah's Key last month provides a paint-by-numbers reference for anyone looking to pull off this trend with aplomb. Instead of opting for a singular shade, Hart chose to pair her periwinkle blue Diane von Furstenberg dress with a jacket (also DVF) in a slightly darker variation. Hart demonstrated further knowledge of the color spectrum by accessorizing with a Sass and Bide clutch in blue's complementary color cohort, orange. We love the color gradient, as well as Hart's choice to use minimal pieces to build her monochromatic outfit. The result is a cool and modern take on a tried-and-true technique. To put together a look-a-like ensemble, start with Alice + Olivia's Fierra T Back Dress ($198) or Silence & Noise's Layered Tank Dress ($69) and layer on a chic option in a lighter or darker blue hue. We are huge fans of Kimichi Blue's Mix Fabric Crepe Jacket ($59) and Silence & Noise's Boyfriend Blazer ($78).-Calin Van Paris

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators agreed Monday to borrow $10 million for the coming year to meet cash flow shortages.
The county repaid this years debt of $12 million in August, but has found the need for the last three years to borrow so it has money to pay its bills. The county first borrowed $8.5 million in 2012.
County Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said the state is doing better at paying its bills on time, which helps the county meet its obligations. The state is behind about two months and owes the county a little under $6 million.
Mr. Felt said he settled on the $10 million borrowing request with the hope that he can pay the countys portion of its pension bill to the state early and save about $60,000.
I might have been able to go a little lower but I wanted a little cushion, he said.
Although the additional borrowing might cost the county about $10,000 more in interest payments, the savings on the pension bill if paid early will be worth the cost, Mr. Felt said.

Will Biden get dumped? Barack Obama's Vice President has a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease. First, Joe Biden told an audience in Virginia that with their help, "We can win North Carolina again." Then he warned another audience that if Mitt Romney wins: "They're gonna put y'all back in chains." Biden's gaffes have some Democrats urging Obama to drop him from the ticket. Who's their favorite choice to replace him? Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
A tough day on the campaign trail. During a Barack Obama campaign event in Davenport, Iowa, the caterer showed up wearing a T-shirt that proclaimed, "Government Didn't Build My Business, I Did." Meanwhile, in Virginia, a bakery owner told Joe Biden's advance team "no!" when they asked to stage an event at his shop. When word spread about the "cupcake mutiny," locals flocked to the store and snapped up everything on the shelves. Wonder how many more stories like this there will be between now and November? Whatever the number, you can be sure the vast majority will be ignored by mainstream media.
Newsweek's shocking cover story. Now here's something I never thought I'd see: The headline on this week's cover story in Newsweek is an eye-opening "Hit the Road, Barack. Why We Need a New President." It was written by Harvard professor Niall Ferguson, who is catching all sorts of flak for what he said. It's hard to quarrel with Ferguson's conclusion, though, that Obama has broken a ton of promises. Or that "we are becoming the 50-50 nation — half of us paying the taxes, the other half receiving the benefits."
No wonder California is going broke. Do you know anyone who'd like to pull down almost $100,000 a year, along with great healthcare benefits and a generous pension? Tell them to get themselves out to Hermosa Beach, Calif., and apply for a job as a meter maid. Oops, wrong title. If you're lucky enough to be hired there to collect coins from parking meters, you will actually be called a "community service staffer."

A two car head-on crash on an icy stretch of SR 191 injured five people Tuesday, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.
A White Honda Accord was traveling southbound near milepost 260 when the car hit slush and ice on the road, causing it to spin out of control and run head-on into a red Pontiac Grand Am traveling in the opposite lane, according to Trooper Bradley Shaw.
The driver of the Accord, Darla Busch, 56, and three passengers, Erin Busch, 22, and two children ages 4 and 1, needed to be extracted from the vehicle. All are from Vernal. The male driver in the Grand Am, Kyle Turner, 21, of Richfield, did not require extrication, according to Shaw.
All five victims were being transported to Castleview Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Shaw said.
Respondents to the scene included Helper Police Department, Helper Fire and Rescue, Utah Highway Patrol, Carbon County Sheriff's Department and Carbon County Ambulance.
Speed was not thought to be a factor in the accident, according to Shaw.

DALTON, Mass. — The Crane Museum of Papermaking opens a new retail store on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Housed in what was formerly Crane's stainless steel fabrication shop, the space has been transformed into 500 square feet of retail, which is accessed through the museum.
"We're very excited about this project," said Crane Museum Director Peter Hopkins. "Almost without fail, visitors to the museum want to purchase Crane stationery. We're pleased to bring them a generous assortment."
The store is stocked with dozens of Crane's engraved holiday cards, as well as initial notes and cards, thank-you notes and a mix-and-match bordered stationery and envelope table. The table itself was once used by a Crane borderer. It features many stocking-stuffer items and hard-to-find Crane stationery.
The opening also marks the return of Crane's Old Money list pads, made with recycled U.S. currency paper. Crane has supplied the United States with currency paper since 1879.
"We see this space as somewhere between a museum store and a factory outlet," said Hopkins. "Everything we have is available at significant discounts."
The store hours will coincide with those of the museum, which for the first time, will be open year-round. Regular hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 1 to 5 p.m. In anticipation of the holiday season, the museum and store will be open Friday, Nov. 29, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and every Wednesday before Christmas until 7 p.m.
The Crane Museum is housed in what was the rag room of Crane's Old Stone Mill, built in 1844. It is located off West Housatonic Street behind Crane's Main Office. For GPS purposes, use West Housatonic Street, and you will see signs.

Linen will be working closely with sister company The Drapery Workroom, a full-service fabrication studio, at 85 Main St. in providing customers with access to custom alteration, monogramming and design services for the home. Store hours for Linen are Wednesday through Saturday 10 to 5. More information is available by calling 413-429-8005 or on the website.
