text:
Lets look at the women first; The first option is to be so beautiful and/or innocent and/or conveniently available that the male God or hero can not restrain himself. He must have her and so he takes her from her home and (often) has sex with her. Persephone is a textbook example of this. These rapes (although the sex sometimes is concensual) often end in pregnancy and the birth of a new hero. Examples include Perseus and Kastor and/or Polideukes. Often the women get punished severely for their part in the sex/rape. Just look at Médousa.
The second option is to be in control of one's beauty and sexual prowess but eternally alone. The Odysee is full of examples of this one; the sorceress Circe, Calypso as well as the Sirens. All tempt Odysseus to various degrees of success, sometimes taking his faculties from him so they can take from him what they want.
The last category for the women is to become a warrior and remain a virgin. The only way to find love is to revert to one of the other two options. The Goddesses Artemis and Athena are amongst these, as well as the Amazons.
The men have different options but it comes down to two words; power or trickery (or a combination of both). The men-who-become-brutes tend to be the ones who chase women down in lust until they have her and can make love to her or rape her or until she is taken from them by the intervention of another deity. See Médousa for the former and Daphne and Minthe for the latter.
The tricksters include Gods like Hermes and perhaps even Apollon; They find love but only by avoiding the men and women that the brutes are attracted to. More often than not, the tricksters get assigned their partners by the brutes.
Now, this is an overgeneralization. There are many shades of grey here. Rape, in Hellenic myth shouldn't even be interpreted as rape as we know it; in myths it's the pouring out of Divinity over mortals. In general, it can even be seen as a blessing, of sorts.
I do not condone rape in any way, shape or form. I am merely saying that women in ancient Hellens were considered to be property of the men in their lives. Any sexual encounters they had was rape, by definition, as it was a property crime. So consensual sex was still rape... well... a property crime, because the word 'rape' did not exist in ancient Hellas. Of course, this whole thing is still a tangled web of hurt that is beyond the scope of this blog post. Perhaps when we get to 'R'. For now, I will limit myself to the gender-roles listed above.
There are lessons to be learned in these stories. While the Theoi are fully fleshed out entities, who are perfectly capable of thinking for Themselves, most of Them did get pigeonholed into certain stereotypes in the myths that survived the ages. There are many, many cases of UPG and SPG that give light to a whole other side of these Gods and Goddesses. Often, Their stories also distract us from what They did have and from the stories that were never told or not often focussed upon. Zeus, for example, has children with many mortal (and immortal) women but he returns to the bed He shares with Hera every night. While She may spurn him for his dalliances, She seems to be very aware (as is He) that His needs are really only sated with Her and Hera rules the daily going on's on Olympus in His stead. Persephone might not hate the time She spends with Hades at all; She seems to have taken Her rightful place by His side as Queen of the Underworld and who knows? Perhaps She ate those pomegranate seeds of Her own free will?
I admit that the gender roles of ancient Hellas bother me. Reading these myths can leave a sour taste in my mouth that only washes away when I look beyond the words, to the messages themselves. By filling the gaps between myths, one can often reconcile their worries about the myths with their personal creed as well as moral guidelines like the Delphic Maxims. It's also very important to note the time period in which these myths were formed; Hellenic culture has its source in Mycenaean Hellas, starting roughly 3900 years ago. That's a lot of time to go by and women's rights weren't really a part of ancient living. Men were expected to provide, and healthy, powerful man simply had more prowess. It's not odd to think the Gods mirrored these societal bounds.
I doubt many (if any) Modern Hellenics long back for a time when men ruled over women in the way that is portrayed in myth. Rape is not condoned. Modern Hellenics try to read beyond the words to get to the message(s). The myths tell us something about the Gods but, like us, They have had a lot of time to evolve. This is a thought that must not be forgotten.

A provocative manifesto, Whipping Girl tells the powerful story of Julia Serano, a transsexual woman whose supremely intelligent writing reflects her diverse background as a lesbian transgender activist and professional biologist. Serano shares her experiences and observations — both pre- and post-transition — to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole. Serano's well-honed arguments stem from her ability to bridge the gap between the often-disparate biological and social perspectives on gender. She exposes how deep-rooted the cultural belief is that femininity is frivolous, weak, and passive, and how this "feminine" weakness exists only to attract and appease male desire. In addition to debunking popular misconceptions about transsexuality, Serano makes the case that today's feminists and transgender activist must work to embrace and empower femininity — in all of its wondrous forms.

CALGARY, Alberta — A lot of teams have been calling the Avalanche, asking whether Ryan O'Reilly is available in a trade. The Avs' response: They aren't interested in giving up their young leading scorer of last season.
But a contract stalemate continues between the Avs and O'Reilly, with no end in sight. O'Reilly, 21, has returned to his home in Ontario and is tending to his sprained ankle, an injury he suffered during a Kontinental Hockey League game.
O'Reilly, whose 55 points led the Avalanche last season, isn't expected to return to Russia this season. His goal is to play in the NHL this season, hopefully with the Avs.
But with talks between O'Reilly's representatives at the Ontario-based Newport Sports Agency and the Avs at a standstill, odds are growing shorter with every passing day that will happen.
NHL teams can make O'Reilly an offer sheet as a restricted free agent, but would have to surrender draft picks to the Avs if the Avs chose not to match it, the number to be determined by the salary the other team offers. That's why offer sheets are rare in the NHL.
Footnotes. He's still looking for his first goal of the season, but Milan Hejduk hasn't been the Avs' problem in their bad spell. He has a respectable three points and has been getting some good scoring chances. He was robbed a couple of times Monday by Edmonton's Devan Dubnyk. "We need a bounce," Hejduk said after the Avs were shut out Wednesday by Vancouver. "Right now, we're just not scoring goals. The special teams have been the difference. We're not killing much and we're not getting enough chances on the power play. That is the difference." ... The experiment using John Mitchell at left wing on a line with Paul Stastny and David Jones didn't work well Wednesday, with the otherwise centerman looking out of sync. Mark Olver, another natural center, received some shifts in Mitchell's spot. But for now the Avs have one center too many (five) and one left winger too few.
Adrian Dater: 303-954-1360, firstname.lastname@example.com or twitter.com/adater
This article has been revised to reflect a correction: O'Reilly will not be an unrestricted after next season if the Avs don't sign him by then. Learn more about O'Reilly's UFA status.

Trailer stolen from church recovered with contents gone but a new tenant
EUGENE, Ore. - University Fellowship Church says their cargo trailer was stolen Monday night from their parking lot with $20,000 worth of music equipment inside.
A Lane County Sheriff's deputy found the trailer in Creswell.
But the musical instruments were gone. Inside were someone else's belongings.
Church officials suspect the person who stole the trailer sold it to someone else, who then started living in it.
The church says they've been working with police to try and contact the owner of the stuff found in the trailer so they can return it to them.

Why did Christianity during its rise appeal to the Romans more rather than Judaism?
Main Body
Judaism in ancient Rom
The rise of Christianity in ancient Rom
Growth of Christianity (introducing Monotheism)
Christianity as the official ideology of the empire
Each religion has had its difficulties in gaining credibility in the beginning, as the new religions always meant an entire different way of perception of the world. Christianity is in the present day the largest religion1, yet how did it emerge? In ancient Rom it has not always been the primary religion since the beginning. How did occur, that the majority of the Roman Empire adopted Christianity, rather than Judaism? Did Christianity provide them with far more advantages such as clarification on their existence, opportunity to reach redemption or better promises than Judaism or Paganism? Was force used by Christians to impose their religion on Rom's citizens Christianity was able to be appealing to both the rich and poor citizens of the empire? How was this possible? This is what I would like to discuss and explore in this paper. How would they reach salvation? To what extent was Christianity, a form of Judaism? I will explore this based on what existed in ancient Rom before Christianity, how Christianity spread and how it gained over hand in the Empire.

Former Rep. Randy Terrill was released Wednesday afternoon from the Oklahoma County jail after a judge ruled he can be free while appealing his political bribery conviction.
Former state Rep. Randy Terrill granted freedom while appealing conviction
Terrill, 44, of Moore, spent Tuesday night in jail after the 12 jurors found him guilty.
"My message to the rest of the Legislature would be: You better watch your back. Because if you make the district attorney mad, you may be next," he told reporters after leaving the jail.
District Judge Cindy Truong ruled Terrill could go home once he posted a $10,000 bond. He was released shortly after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The judge ordered Terrill to have no contact with any witnesses in the case. "If you do, I will have your bond revoked and you will be sitting in prison," she warned.
The judge also required Terrill to wear an ankle monitor until after the jury trial of his co-defendant, former state Sen. Debbe Leftwich. Her trial is set to begin Dec. 9.
Prosecutors opposed his release but the judge said he is not a flight risk, his crime is a nonviolent one and he does not have a prior criminal record.
His defense attorney, Chris Eulberg, told the judge, "There is a very good chance that the case could be reversed on appeal."
Terrill appeared before the judge Wednesday afternoon in orange jail clothes, white socks and jail sandals. His hands were handcuffed in front of him and his legs were restricted by an ankle chain.
Jurors on Tuesday evening found Terrill guilty of a felony — offering a bribe to a candidate to withdraw.
Jurors agreed Terrill, a Republican, offered Leftwich, a Democrat, an $80,000-a-year state job at the medical examiner's office in 2010. Prosecutors alleged Terrill bribed her to induce her not to run for re-election to her Senate seat that year.
"The evidence was circumstantial but quite strong," said one juror, Bill Lloyd IV, of Edmond. "The testimony was very strong."
Jurors didn't believe Terrill, who testified in his own defense Tuesday for two hours.

+1 for the Hadron. They go on sale for great prices sometimes too (search the forums for past sales). I really like the kangaroo pocket. And saving $200.
I'm not particularly fond of the quilting on this jacket. It seems to me that it creates a profusion of cold spots. I wonder if the smaller number of larger chambers in the Montbell UL Down Inner Parka might be more efficient.
I'm sorry for the confusion with the fill weight. The 72g is for the Women's Ghost Whisperer Hooded jacket, and 79g, is the correct fill weight for the Men's Ghost Whisperer Hooded, or approximately 2.78oz. Hope that clears up any confusion.Taylor
Hi Taylor,I assume you're the Taylor who answered me. Thanks so much for coming on to the forums and clearing that up! We appreciate it.Take care,Doug
but this will be a badass hoody with 2.8 oz of downtek. note the reviewer mentions sleeping in this with the katabatic palisade at 15 degrees. Aaron's ratings are definitely conservative. I've been using the chisos from the beginning of may with just a xenon....back to the thread...http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Down-Jacket-Reviews/Mountain-Hardwear-Ghost-Whisperer-Down-Jacket
there is no unobtainium here ...the warmth of the a down jacket is simply a function of the quality of down, the amount, the fit and perhaps the baffles, though in this case with this little down im not sure that matters as mucha jacket with 2.8 oz of down wont be any warmer than one with 4 oz of roughly the same fill power all other things being equal ... despite any price or name ..for the weight it does contain a large % of down at 40% ... whether thats worth the price is up to youmy $50 eb down vest is my most used piece of gear and its still in perfect condition despite wearing it every day ;)
Edited by bearbreeder on 09/05/2012 07:57:40 MDT.
Taylor- I'd also echo the thanks for clearing this up :)I've been looking at a WM Flash jacket for a couple of years, something w/ a little more "oomph" than my Ex-Lite and a hood, I can never find one on sale- the Whisperer looks like it specs out very close (even a little lighter) and I'm sure there will be some sales here and there- MSRP they come out the same, but it's very tough to find WM on sale, no so w/ MHMike
Compared to the Patagonia UL down hoody its way way way more lofty (850 vs 800 fill?). Its actually more puffy than I was thinking, but not super puffy obv. The Fit is a little more relaxed, so dont size up.One thing I like is the simplicity of the hem cinch around the waist, on the right its a single pull and its shockcorded so it stretches. Also I like the baffles, they seem to work well. Now I just need to go camping at high elevation where its actually cold!After I trimmed of the tags (.08oz?) my medium stuffed into its own pocket weighs 7.2oz.
If that has more loft than the Patagonia, then the Patagonia must be completely flat.
would you mind commenting on the fit of the hood? does it have any adj? also any inside storage pockets?thanks
I am not here to try and sell it to you, if you dont like it then good for you.The fit of the hood is pretty tight once zipped up I think, it has elastic and I think it will stay on prettygood. Just 2 hand pockets.
Edited by M.L on 09/05/2012 16:50:22 MDT.
Post purchase rationalization?Seriously though, there is hardly any loft. Since you say the Patagonia has much less loft could you post a picture of your Patagonia? The BPL Cocoon Hoody at 9.9 oz in XL has more visible loft and it has synthetic insulation. I wonder if that is why the MH is so light, apart from the wafer thin fabric...it has very littl fill.
thanksit has about the same fill as the WM Flash, a jacket that has received numerous high marks from many of the reviewers from this site (and other sites)I don't think this is intended as a "winter" jacket, like the MB Ex-Lite and UL Parka, WM Flash (others)- rather a light, compact insulating layer for "summer"- w/ near 3 oz of 850 fill- it should fill that niche quite well
I looked at the hooded flash this is what I got.Also the MB UL parka,Average Total Weight 9 oz.Average Fill Weight 3 oz. The MH ghost has like .25 less fill.Heres more specs:Montbell UL Down Parka (2.5 / 9.5 / 26%)Western Mountaineering Hooded Flash (3 / 9 / 33%)Montbell Alpine Light Parka (4.3 / 15 / 29%)Marmot Ama Dablam (4.4 / 19 / 23%)Rab Microlite Alpine (5 / 14 / 36%)Golite Bitterroot (5.3 / 13 / 41%)Golite Roan Plateau (5.8 / 19 / 31%)Western Mountaineering Meltdown (6.5 / 17 / 38%)Rab Neutrino Endurance (8 / 22 / 36%)Rab Infinity (7 / 16 / 44%)
Edited by M.L on 09/05/2012 18:31:26 MDT.
So the Ghost for its class (UL) prettymuch crushes everything else in weight vs fill weight.2.8 / 7.2 = %39
Are you going to post a pic of your Patagonia or not?
I had one for a few hours and returned it.
I know you were asking Michael but if you really are interested, this is what the Patagonia down sweater hoodie looks like for thickness. It is rather flat- I measured it's loft at 1" on average across the jacket when laid out as seen here. The bottom of the jacket puffs up a lot- that's not where I was measuring. I was measuring various spots across the body and sleeves. This is brand new and only worn once so far so it hasn't lost any loft.
Edited by EagleRiverDee on 09/05/2012 20:07:04 MDT.
So very similar based on the pics and the MH is not considerably more lofty. Actually looks the same. Same price?
Keep in mind the orange jacket weighs 15.2 oz.

Conejo Valley Unified names outdoor school program leader
A sixth-grade teacher from Sycamore Canyon Middle School has been appointed the new coordinator of the Outdoor School Program in the Conejo Valley Unified School District.
Director of Secondary Education Jeff Davis made the announcement at Tuesday's Board of Education meeting, at which he introduced Cheryl Moncourtois to board members.
"We feel we have found the perfect person," he said.
Moncourtois, who has taught in the school district for 16 years, told board members she hopes to develop a curriculum that encompasses the board's vision for the program.
In June, board members unanimously rejected a request from staff members and middle school principals to abolish the four-day, three-night nature camp and replace it with a two-day, one-night program based on character development and team building.
"It's important for me to take this program and to blend it with the curriculum that we find to be vital to the students as well as to bring in the camp life that is part of tradition," she said.
Moncourtois said her goal, is to make the program as hands-on as possible and enhance it with Next Generation Science Standards.
The program has a $50,000 deficit and relies on high school students to volunteer as camp counselors.
Middle school principals and staff members said the program was outdated and took students away from classroom instruction for too long. They wanted to replace it with a program run by an outside agency that builds on the "Stand Proud" program in which all fifth-graders participate and which emphasizes youth development and resiliency.
Moncourtois told the board that her two adult children, who attended Conejo Valley Unified schools, participated in the camp in sixth grade and that she's glad the district kept it.
Davis said Moncourtois and he have been looking at what neighboring school districts do in terms of outdoor education and camps.
"It's really interesting, looking at all the different things that the programs offer," he said.
The schedule for the 2014 sixth-grade camp is being completed, and ads have been placed for naturalists.
To offset some of the camp's operating costs, the cost is rising to $225 per student from $200. Scholarships will continue to be available for those who could not otherwise afford to attend.

The girl was sipping a smoothie with her friend at The Dog restaurant at 1:15 p.m. when they heard a "pop" and she felt a sting in her thigh. The victim and her mother, who asked that they remain anonymous out of fear she would be targeted again, believe the gun was fired from a passing car.
A surveillance video from the restaurant shows the teenager and her friend chatting one minute, then frantically using napkins to dab at the blood the next.
After the injury, she was taken to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where a doctor determined it would cause more damage to her muscle to remove the pellet.
An X-ray later indicated the champagne cork-shaped lead capsule traveled 2 inches up her thigh and was lodged 1.5 inches deep in her flesh.
"It hurt my heart to see her go through this," her mom said. "I would never want this to kill her spirit."
The shooter didn't appear to have specifically targeted the girl, who had come straight from church, she said. The family is "assuming it's a kid" who doesn't understand how much damage the weapon can do.
"We can only believe it was some random thing. I don't want her to be angry in life," she said.
At this point, the police have no leads to go on, making it difficult to determine if the shot was intentional, Alamo Deputy Elmer Glasser said.
Glare from the afternoon sun makes passing cars difficult to view on the surveillance tapes and there are otherwise no clues or witnesses pointing to the responsible party, Glasser said. There are no records of pellet gun injuries on file with the police department, he added.
"Stuff like this doesn't happen here," he said.
The carbon dioxide-powered gun is capable of causing death and serious bodily injury, and this case is being handled as an assault with a deadly weapon.
Pellet guns, like BB guns, use compressed air to fire projectiles. Most guns manufactured today are 177 caliber and can be loaded with either spherical BBs or sharper pellets. In these pistols, the damage done depends on the shape and weight of the projectiles along with other factors, like distance from the target.
Although fatalities from pellet and BB guns are rare, an 18-year-old boy in Guam died earlier this month as a result of a pellet gun wound. The pellet was fired through his lungs and heart - puncturing his aorta. The police reports showed the death was caused by a single shot.
In this Alamo case, the 16-year-old and her family find themselves feeling simultaneously thankful and outraged.
"It could have made her blind or hit her neck. People who say pellet guns are no big deal are wrong," her mom said. Ultimately, they feel oddly lucky, she explained.
The teenager took time off from soccer, school activities and her job to recuperate and is still adjusting to the idea of having a pellet in her leg for the rest of her life. She lost her father when she was young and she knows what it's like to overcome emotionally traumatic experiences, her mom said.
"I want don't this to be a sob story ... I want my daughter to be able to have a smoothie on a Sunday and not worry something is going to happen to her."

Please give us a brief bio, where you are from and how you started in this field.I was born in the north bay region of California.
Drawing and painting has ben a part of my life always.
I studied illustration at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco and in 1979 moved to the north shoe of Lake Tahoe and never left.
Lake Tahoe's beautiful surroundings are a constant inspiration for her, bringing her close to the heart of nature.
While living at Tahoe I have freelanced as an illustrator, graphic artist, art director, muralist and painter. My art interests have gone in many different directions from handmade paper creations, watercolor/dye illustrations, printmaking, paintings, tapestries and murals. Painting has remained my main focus. While painting murals I developed my own technique of combining acrylic paint, using both airbrush and hand to enhance and detail my paintings, giving the artwork a feeling of depth and the soft magical beauty of nature.
When did you first discover your creative talents?
When I was 4 years old i just started drawing my family, pets and events. It was one of my favorite pastimes.
What or who inspires you when it comes to your work?
Artists that have inspired are Maxfield Parish and Arthur Rockham.
Nature, symbols, mythology, traveling to sacred places the moon and the stars all inspire me.
Could you tell us about some of your work?
My paintings reflect a spiritual or magical quality. I like to get in touch with the spirit/soul of my subject. I want my paintings to speak to the heart of the viewer.
What inspires you to keep goinsg and how do you keep yourself motivated?
Nature and the mystery of the universe play a big part with my inspiration. I like to weave the two together in my creations, hoping to inspire others to enjoy the beauty of nature and the wonderful creatures around us. Our world is full of miracles and magic. Long walks in the woods with my dogs.
My motivation is to that through my art I can help others to recognize the beauty and truth of this, and bring it into their hearts hearts. I constantly have ideas that come into my head. I make a lot of thumbnail sketches so I can remember the ideas and develop them further at a later date.
How do you describe your style?
Deep blues, colorful, magical, thought provoking
What is your approach to design?
The composition. I first get an idea.
I see it in my mind and then I develop it on paper.
Once I am happy with the composition, and elements that I have integrated then the drawing gets transferred to the canvas or board.
Any influences or anyone you look up to when it comes to designing?
Art Nouveau, Mucha, Erte, Susan Seddon Boulet, so many have influence me. All the cross-cultural designs through history. I am forever discovering.
How did you bridge the gap of the business side of designing?
There is a delicate balance between one's creativity and the business side.
Most artists do not like to do the business side, but it is half the job. Once you understand and accept that, then you can start allotting time for the business and marketing and balance that time with your creative time. Marketing your self can be a very creative process. The accounting and crunching the numbers tells the tail of where you are at finically and helps put a reality check on decisions or directions you might want to make in your career.
Describe yourself in 5 words
introspective, imaginative, magical, kind, creative
Any words of advice for aspiring designers/artists?
Believe in yourself. Be smart about marketing yourself and develop a business sense. You will need it.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Any pets?
Rosie and Mesa, My Belgian Sheepdogs
What is it like being in the art community here in San Francisco?
I don't live in San Francisco, but when I visit I take in all the creativity that I can.
How did you get involved with Celebration of Craftswomen?
A friend told me about the event about 8 years ago. (Where have I been!?!
The first year I did it, I felt so welcomed. It has a wonderful feeling to it.
How long have you been involved with CoC?
Five years with one year off.

The Oru Kayak by designer Anton Willis is a compact and lightweight(25 lbs) boat which folds like an origami and fits into a small suitcase. It is quick to assemble(only 5 min) and is fast, stable and handles incredibly well. The ambitious project is on kickstarter, and judging by the amount pledged should be available soon.

The county youth commission approached Carbon's recreation and transportation special service district on Feb. 5 to discuss additional actions the group could take toward obtain ing the funding for the construction of a miniature golf course.
The group came back to the special service district after county lawmakers advised the youth that Carbon commissioners would like to see a survey conducted in order to verify the long term viability of the miniature golf course project.
A survey of 448 students conducted at Carbon High School showed that more than one-half of the local teenagers indicated that they would use a miniature golf course at least one to two times per week.
The survey question and responses were based on charging a $5 to $8 fee per round of play at the golf course.
"I don't understand why we need to delay this project to conduct another survey," commented special service district board member Dick Lee. "They have demonstrated that this project will be popular and I would hate to see something this good shoved into a back drawer because we are waiting on a survey."
But Carbon County Commissioner Bill Krompel voiced concern about rushing into funding the proposed miniature golf course.
The county commissioner respresents Carbon government on the special service district board
"The county has a lot of open projects right now that are slated for completion during 2007. We have committed to these projects and we have to see them through before we can move on to something new," pointed out Krompel. "I am not saying that we can't look at this project this year, but our prior obligations are weighing on our minds."
According to the Carbon commissioner, the county is looking at wrapping up a number of projects in 2007 with the help of grant monies and funding from the special service district. The projects include:
Phase three of the improvements on Carbonville Road.
Phase three of the highway improvement project will complete the north end of Carbonville Road with curb and gutter.
Finishing phase three of the Carbonville Road improvement project will cost the county approximately $2 million and $3 million.
Carbon County ambulance communications center.
The completion of the county's ambulance service and commications center project could cost approximately $2.3 million.
Furnishing the county's road maintenance shop and the event center.
According to Krompel, furnishing the two county buildings could cost between $500,000 and $750,000.
Dam rehabilitation at Scofield Reservoir.
The Scofield dam project could cost as much as $15 million, with a $2 million local match.
Carbon County Drug Court.
Carbon lawmakers allocated $250,000 in county revenues to fund the local felony drug court program in 2007.
"I felt it was important for us to step up to the plate in supporting a program that is trying to cut criminal activities within our area," commented the county commissioner.
Heavy equipment replacement and repair.
Carbon commissioners budgeted $1.8 million for replacement and repair of county equipment in 2007.
"All of these projects have been committed to and need to be finished, the county needs to see exactly where it is financially before it can commit to another project," continued Krompel.
The original concept for the miniature golf facility was that the course would be owned by the county and located at the fairgrounds.
During the special service district meeting, the board members suggested that the youth group contact Price officials to inquire as to whether the city would like to become partners in the miniature golf course project.
The youth group indicated that the members will try to arrange to meet with the Carbon Commission members and Price Mayor Joe Piccolo to discuss the plans and funding options for the golf course.
Another major concern for the commission and the service district is the ongoing search for a qualified concessionaire.
"The person who takes on this contract would not have to be a golf pro," said Carbon course pro Tom King. "This concessionaire agreement is a business opportunity and should be viewed that way," King continued.
"If we have some good mineral lease quarters and House Bill 134 passes, increasing our mineral royalties, we as a county would like to do as much good as possible. But I want to make sure that we don't overextend the county financially," concluded Krompel.

Obama Scandals List tops 350!
By Peter Andrew ConservativeAmerican.org
Leading the way Right
The Official Obama Administration Scandals List hit 350 last night. Out of respect to my lefty friends, let me point out the list is not just scandals. It also contains Obama administration lies, flip flops, broken promises, big mistakes, mishaps, blunders, gaffes, and hyprocrisy.
The list has more than 45 Obama appointment scandals including all the tax cheaters he hired. The latest additions included the scandal over President Obama's firing of an Inspector General who investigated one of the President's Men, and the fact he violated a law HE WROTE when he fired the IG!
The list is a great source for you to keep track of this President and all the things he is trying to change in our great nation. Our Obama Scandals List is backed up with facts, figures, sources and dates. As the nation's first socialist leader, he brings an amazing lack of experience to the White House and it shows in the huge number of items on our list. 50 on each page...
SCANDALS Thru 1/20/9 * 1/20/9-2/24/9 * 2/24/9 - 3/21/9 * 3/22/9-4/11/9 * 4/12/9-4/29/9 * 4/29/9-5/26/9 * 5/26/9-6/18/9 * 6/19/9-Present

Mmmmm, hands.
If tomorrow I were to walk away to some other place, go live in a where that is not this where, the place I would go would have lots of snow and the house I would live in would be made of cold, a house of snow — or of-snow-adjacent.
Butcher's charts take it all apart.
Sewing patterns put it all together.
The sundering and the reconciling … they interest me, both. I maybe love taxidermy because it requires both; I should maybe love the jigsaw puzzle more than I do, for the same reason.
Often I think of the poetry of objects
about the way a seam is resolved
or the way a spine grows
about the things we make with our bodies
and the bones from out of our bodies
I make playlists on my iPod and they're often very theme-y because I am nothing if not a theme-y woman — I like to group and organise. I like to find patterns, or, in their absence, make them. Maybe that's the curatorial urge. Or the librarian's urge. Anyway, I have a playlist on my iPod called "river" and I listen to the songs on that playlist a lot, especially when I am despairing because those songs are very cathartic to hear and especially when I am all joyed-up because those songs are very cathartic to hear.
I run. I like to run, a lot.
I love to run. Love it, with big crazy heartsing heartpound loveness.
And here we are in a brand-new decade. I like that, a lot, because I'm much attracted to notions of new beginnings, even tho' a new decade is no more a new beginning than a new day is and I'm still actually living the same life I've been living all along. I mean, the digits 2-0-1-0 don't in any way change the unfoldment of a life. But the symbolism is juicy and yummy and also the questions posed to me about the last decade and the next decade by the very clever Sheila Killian are juicy and yummy and made me engage in some reflectional brain activity, which is generally a bit hard and scary and also deeply worthwhile.
I am interested in the connection between the physical and the mental, in the connection between a crisis of the body and the germination of an idea.
This is a period of similehead. I always have quite a bit of that but it's really all-consuming lately.
I don't know why I always want to know "why" but I do. Even when the answer to "why?" is "because" or "dunno" or "what's it to ya, mofo?" Even then, I still wanna know. Why, I wonder. Why am I like that? Dunno, really. Because, I guess. What's it to ya anyway, mofo?
Last May, I ran a half-marathon. It was a dreadful experience, in ways I can't, even four months later, fully articulate. I can tell you that I wasn't jubilant when I crossed the finish line, I didn't feel the lightness of spirit I had anticipated. Not at all. In fact, I was bitterly disappointed in myself because I hadn't run the way I wanted to run and because in the months of training I'd done to prepare for the race, I'd lost all the things I value about running, sacrificed them to this goal of propelling myself 21.1 kilometres in tandem with thousands of strangers, in a specific and challenging amount of time.
Here is an immensely moving thing: The Waste Not installation by Song Dong, currently showing at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
I listen to a lot of music. A lot. And while I think my taste is fairly wide-ranging, ultimately I have to recognise that I am particularly drawn to and moved by music that is odd or broken or primal or otherworldly. I want from music what I want from poetry and fiction — I want to be moved. I want to be taken to a place of sentipensante, feeling-thinking, to borrow Eduardo Galeano's most beautiful word, because sentipensante is "language that speaks the truth". And my god, that is a powerful notion.
Once I wrote this e-mail to a friend:
There is chainmail and then there is trainmail. This here is trainmail.
Out the window of my train, I see a freight train, enormously long, car after car marked "CornProducts". One car marked "cationic corn starch". I don't even know what that means but I like how it looks and how it sounds in my head.
If I could tell you one thing, that one thing would be: don't be scared. Or rather, go ahead and be scared but run into the arms of the thing that scares you anyway.
Leo Tolstory rocks my world, man.
The other night I was drinking whiskey and thinking about Fibonacci numbers and thinking about Katinka Matson's scanned flower images and thinking about how once upon a time I looked at her daffodils and realised how
Awhile back I did a meme on Facebook that involved making a list of sixteen albums (CDs, for you whippersnappers) that had been really influential in my life. Only one musician got two spots on my list.
Green is the colour of making. It is. It just is. A metaphor of growth is completely the right metaphor for making. Germinating, budding, flowering … those are the parts of making every bit as much as they are the parts of plant growth.
I like the word "with". Maybe because writing is so not a "with" activity. It's really a pretty terrible pastime: lonely; painful; scary; frustrating; slow. But it's also the way I learn what I think — I often don't truly know until I start the ridiculous process of corralling the headchaos.
The backbone of the backbone.

Building Social Media Platforms for Growing Brands
By: Heather Smith
Posted: July 6, 2009, from the July 2009 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 3 of 6
There are four basic elements of making social media flow for your business. As mentioned earlier, the first step is to listen to the conversation. There are many free social media sites and social media book marking tools out there that allow you to monitor what is being said about your company, product, brand and, perhaps most important, your competitors—Twitter, Delicious (www.delicious.com) and Facebook are among them. Listening will be the foundation for your social media marketing strategy.
Secondly, be sure to engage potential customers with interesting and informative branding statements. Third, monitor and filter these tools to be efficient. The numbers of users across all social media are staggering, so creating efficiency is vital. Take advantage of tools and applications to post your message in one place and have it automatically disseminated across all the social media accounts you use. Finally, create your plan and schedule and stick to it. There is simply no better spend of your marketing dollars than on a plethora of free social media tools.
Three Popular Mediums
There are many social media sites available, and many will fulfill the needs of your brand, the niche in which you operate and your target consumers. The number of users on these sites is growing exponentially, so find your community. There are three sites that are strong bases from which to build a social media platform.
Twitter tops the list based on its sheer growth and ability to connect to so many people. Twitter can be very effective to promote something online and get it noticed immediately. Twitter is where you have the best shot to go viral. In addition, Twitter is a fabulous means of providing pertinent updates and interesting news to the followers of your "tweets"—keeping them involved.
Start by using search.twitter.com and hash tags to monitor what people are saying about your brand, your competition and the space or category you are in as a whole. Setting up a desktop application and a handful of these focused searches will really contextualize things and make your Twitter efforts efficient and effective.

Since creating Fluent in 3 months, Benny Lewis has become the world's most-read-about language learning blogger. He's written an international best selling book, won National Geographic's Traveler of the Year award, and has been featured in a host of media, including New York Times, Forbes, Business Insider, BBC and Sunday Times (UK).
Benny has been asked to speak about language learning, social media and travel at Tedx Warsaw, Tedx San Antonio, as well as at other international events like South by Southwest.
Language Coaching, Consultations and Conferences with Benny
Most of the past decade, I've turned down requests for private consultations to focus on growing my business and my blog, which is currently the highest-trafficked language learning blog in the world with half a million unique visitors every month. But I am now opening my availability to accommodate consultations or language coaching either for businesses and professional organizations or for individuals.
For individuals: I offer guidance in areas of language learning, leveraging technology and apps to increase productivity or streamline your life, website strategy (such as effective use of social media to increase traffic and increase sales), and improving website interactivity (how to boost your site's readership or create viral content). I can also review a marketing plan or a product you're about to release. For individuals, these consultation sessions are $249 per 30 minute call.
For businesses and professional organizations: I really enjoy speaking for businesses, and I think every business should be multilingual in order to thrive in a global economy. Incorporating new languages into your business means stretching your reach to new markets, new clients, and strengthening your existing ties abroad. If you'd like to hire me to come speak at your office or work with your business/team as a language coach, contact me, and we'll discuss some options.Contact me here to talk to me about a consultation or speaking at your conference
Setting up your coaching or consultation session
For businesses, I am happy to give in-person talks or long-term coaching if scheduling allows. If you're looking to set up a long-term coaching schedule, try to contact me as early as possible in advance.
For individuals, you can set up consultations in half-hour-long blocks. I highly recommend holding these sessions over Skype, because nonverbal communication is hugely important to conversation. But of course, we can also talk over the phone. Contact me if you have details you'd like to discuss, or you can schedule a session right now using the Skype link below.
Your payment will be processed using secure servers and encrypted for your safety. You can schedule your session now using credit card or PayPal. You'll then be given immediate access to my calendar to select a time slot convenient to you, automatically adjusted to your time-zone.

NIH Research Matters
January 30, 2012
Looking Inside Viruses
Since the discovery of the microscope, scientists have tried to visualize smaller and smaller structures to provide insights into the inner workings of human cells, bacteria and viruses. Now, researchers have developed a new way to see tiny structures within viruses.
Conventional cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has allowed researchers to image the surface of viruses in great detail. But scientists hadn't been able to clearly visualize structures inside viruses. Cryo-EM procedures use radiation, and higher doses damage viruses, destroying the very structures researchers would like to view.
A team led by Dr. Alasdair Steven of NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) and Dr. Lindsay Black at the University of Maryland Medical School was studying a type of virus that infects bacteria and so might one day be used to combat pathogens. Past studies showed that the virus, called ϕKZ, contains a cylindrical protein structure called the inner body. Those studies, however, used disrupted viruses. The inner body can't be distinguished from the DNA that surrounds it in intact viruses using conventional cryo-EM.
In the January 13, 2012, issue of Science, the researchers described how they were able to turn the problem of radiation damage into an asset. They realized that the proteins inside the virus are more sensitive than DNA to radiation damage. After recording images of the virus with low doses of radiation, they used higher doses. As the inner structure deteriorated, it appeared as a cylinder of bubbles. The team was able to superimpose the images and, using 3-D computer reconstruction, clearly visualize the viral structure. The investigators call their technique bubblegram imaging.
Based on the shape and position of the inner body, the researchers believe that it helps organize DNA into its compact structure. In the future, bubblegram imaging may yield further insights into the inner workings of viruses and suggest strategies for developing novel therapies.
The scientists anticipate other uses for bubblegram imaging as well. For example, it could be used to visualize the interactions of proteins with DNA in human cells.
"This new cryo-EM procedure renders previously invisible proteins visible and, thus, will provide new understanding of cell biology," Steven says.

This was pretty good, but needs better music. The song from the first one would work here too.

ATTENTION! If you are still waiting for the next episode, don't bother. The continuation of this cartoon is actually a game. The title is "Dadgame" and you can find it here.
You're welcome. :)

Aw, to be continued?! Just when it was about to get intense! Love the happy expression on his face while he's running rampant. The animation's fast-paced and varied, and there's always something to look at... even during the credits. Actually, the credits are probably half as long as the actual animation... good stuff!
