Outdoor Adventures in Arches National Park
Imagine stepping into the rugged desert landscape and peering into the maze of colorful canyons. Walk among red, orange, salmon and tan-colored arches, spires, balanced rocks, fins and monoliths. Linger in the long light of late afternoon when time seems to stand still and colors deepen and shadows grow long.
Utah's Arches National Park showcases over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, as well as a host of other bizarre rock formations preserved in pristine condition. In some areas, the forces of nature have exposed millions of years of geologic history.
Arches National Park is located approximately four hours by car from Salt Lake City, and is easily accessed from Moab in Southern Utah. At nearly 77,000 acres in size, Arches National Park offers a wide variety of hiking trails, from a five-minute walk to full day hikes. President Herbert Hoover originally set land aside in 1929, calling it Arches National Monument. It wasn't until the fall of 1969 that Richard Nixon signed a bill making Arches a National Park.
Hunter-gatherers migrated into the Arches area about 10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age. They created knives and weaponry from the rocks found in the region. Approximately 2,000 years ago the Puebloan and Fremont people began cultivating plants and settled in the area. They raised domesticated maize, beans, and squash, and lived in villages like those preserved at Mesa Verde National Park. As they were leaving, the Ute and Paiute arrived, meeting the first Europeans in 1776.
Wildlife, typically more active in mornings and late afternoons, often spotted in the park are: squirrels, packrats, chipmunks, porcupines, as well as desert cottontails and black-tailed jackrabbits. More elusive, but also located in the park are Mule deer, coyotes, bobcats and mountain lions.
Join O.A.R.S. on an Arches National Park vacation for our Utah Guest Ranch and Raft on the Colorado River. We spend the first half of the week rafting the rapids of Cataract Canyon, home to Utah's best whitewater rafting. After our Colorado River rafting experience, we enjoy a backcountry hiking tour through miles of terrain unseen by most Arches National Park visitors, and we observe some of the area's more famous landmarks, such as Delicate Arch and Balanced Rock.

In game two, Westminster freshman Danny Owoc (Penn. Township, PA / Penn-Trafford) got the nod for his first collegiate start. Owoc went 2.1 innings and gave up seven runs (only two earned) off five hits and walked five batters.

0-2 :'(
fair point that
0-2 :'(
That is all.
And Celtic is likely out of it. Juve up 2-0.
The Celtic are shite.
Okay, I'll bite . . . Why wouldn't you root for a fellow Scottish team like Michigan fans generally root for Ohio State against SEC teams, for example? Doesn't make sense to me - countrymen are supposed to stick together, no?
Celtic vs. Rangers used to be Catholics vs. Protestants in Glasgow (and still is in a way). Until about 1990 it featured an all Catholic Celtic team against an all Protestant Rangers team. It might be the world's most deadly rivalry.
I think I knew that background (forgot) but didn't realize that it still dominates the fan base.
Oh, and no religion!
We answered. You can mention religion without using flamethrower.
Yeah, add in Irish nationalism from the fact that the club used to be made up of mostly Irish immigrants and it gets fun. The other two posts below mine summarized it much better though.
That rivalry is more than two American football teams who hate each other meeting in November. It intersects political, religious, and traditional differences. Some of these differences go back centuries in England, Scotland, and Ireland. A Celtic win further advances their political agenda, and that is not something I support. So it's a lot more complicated than despising a conference as a whole. That is why I will never offer any support for Celtic.
The Celtic-Rangers rivalry has undertones that go as deep as they come in the world of sports. These undertones are cultural, and religious in nature and, to be honest, the rivalry eclipses Michigan-Ohio in terms of pure intensity and hatred.
Beat me to it, but you hit it on the head.
They could be Rangers.
Or they could be down 3-0. So this is why the pope resigned..
+1 for "this is why the Pope resigned"
-1 for the fact that Rangers are still playing against part time plumbers behind high school parking lots.
That's more than Celtic can say on aggregate. I may put a ten on a Celtic 4-0 win in Turin just because the return would enable me to retire out of college.
Well played Juve. Juve up 3 now.
Lily livered ref at Celtic. Juventus defensive wrestling should have resulted in at least one penalty. Apply the laws ref. stain on game
Have been following online since I am at work but it looks like Celtic just ha happen to them what Celtic and rangers try to do every year when they get to this level: sit back, get dominated, take advantage of their few chances.
Oh Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy.. NaNaNaNaNaNa!
A loss for Celtic is a win for Rangers..
Except that since we can be pretty sure the second place team in the SPL will get laughed out of the qualifying rounds for the next couple years, Rangers need Celtic to rack up all the coefficient points they can get if they want two UCL spots left when they get back up.
Well, once you've beaten Barcelona, getting motivated to play a team of mere mortals may be too much to expect. 'Salright, then...Champions League play after New Year's is unheard of in the SFA these days...glad it was Celtic representing.
That red card on Ibra was such crap. Hopefully it won't hurt in the return game with PSG at home and 2 away goals already in the books
Ill agree that it probably shouldn't have been called.... But it was a studs-up challenge and he didn't come close to the ball. The letter of the law supports the red card, it was dangerous.
I feel like it's a bit rough in the last minute of a game. Give him a yellow to put him on notice the rest of the tournament but don't give him a red for something meaningless that can dramatically change the next leg
It's harsh, but studs-up tackles are essentially always red card offenses. They fall under "serious foul play" and aren't really subjective in nature. If you're going to call a penalty on Ibra in that last minute, it's going to be a red. The only time you'll see a studs-up challenge get a yellow card is if the challenge was very close to the ball. Ibra was miles from connecting with the ball. I'm not surprised he got a red, he's the same player who kicked multiple teammates in the head at AC Milan (apparently for fun... Once he kicked a teammate in the head during a TV interview). He has got to be more disciplined in his challenges. Ultimately I still think PsG goes through.
Wow, what a dramatic ending at the Mestalla. Valencia still need to grab 2 goals is Paris, but that is not impossible.
Edit: Goals not gals...
I can't decide which would be easier for them... Grabbing two goals in Paris or grabbing two gals in Paris. I lived in Paris for a bit, and based on my experience, I think Valencia should go for the gals.
Such a demoralizing loss for Celtic. Put everything into it. Now I fear they'll be on the end of a real pasting in the return leg.
to give up football for Lent was a bit rash. No matter...they've given a good account of themselves overall...I'm used to them being out of the UEFA (sorry, EUROPA) Cup at this point of the campaign, so this year was a nice distraction. We'll always have the Barca tie.
The Spanish league has to be the best in all of Europe, right? By my count they have 4 out of 16 still standing (Malaga, Valencia, Real, Barca).
La Liga is insanely top heavy. The drop off after the top 3 or 4 is monstrous. The EPL is the best league all around.
Bruins, wooden, shabazz muhammad anyone?

2 year review
Hi I was wondering if anyone knew what your health visitor does on you childs 2 year review, any help is much appreciated
many thanks
I went with my two year old last week for 2 year assessment, don't worry it's ok. They ask them to sit at a small table and give them tasks to do such as building with blocks see if they can build a tower with nine blocks, they have a doll and a brush and ask if they can brush the dolls hair, can they find the dolls eyes, nose,mouth, fingers,toes. Can they draw circles, scribble etc. Can they find objects in a picture book when requested such as an apple, ball etc. She then had another book with black and white drawings and asked what would you use to drink from? Where would you go to sleep? child then pointing to the correct object. They will then ask you questions that they can't see for instance do they use a spoon, fork or both to eat with, can they jump with both feet of the floor, can they walk up and down stairs holding onto a rail or your hand. Will ask if you have any concerns, do the weight and height as well. Then you get your bookstart bag with goodies in. It really is nothing to worry about.
Hope this helps
Thank you for the reply it has helped a lot. I was considerately worried on what they might do and ask however this has helped out my mind at ease thank you.
I feel like I have been short changed on my ds's 2 year review they missed most of that out!
she just asked if I had any worries, if he could say at least 50 words, weighed and measured him and he got his bookstart stuff.
so I guess it will vary on where you are from on how comprehensive it is

Classical Studies Course Offerings
CLAS 101 / LATN 101 Elementary Latin
An introduction to classical Latin with emphasis on the grammar, syntax and vocabulary necessary for reading Latin prose and poetry. The course also stresses the influence of Latin on English vocabulary. Fall semester.
CLAS 102 / LATN 102 Intermediate Latin – GS7
A continuation of CLAS 101, with extended reading passages in Latin prose and poetry. Prerequisite: CLAS 101. Spring semester.
CLAS 111 / GREK 111 Elementary Greek 1

CLAS 200 / RELS 200 Augustine and the Classical World
This course surveys the life and times of Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354-430), one of the great thinkers of the Western world. With more than 100 books, 200 letters and 500 sermons, he left a lasting impact on Western philosophy, religion and culture, and was a major influence in shaping the theology of Western Christianity. The classical heritage of Greece and Rome influenced Augustine's thinking and in turn his impact on the late Roman world. We will attempt to understand how the synthesis produced by Augustine is both a final flowering of classical civilization and a cornerstone of the coming Christian civilization of the Middle Ages.
CLAS 203 Readings in Latin – GS7 C-SL
An in-depth reading and study of an extended work by a major Latin author. Normally this would be from the writings of Cicero or Seneca. Depending on the students' interests, readings may also be selected from the Roman historians or early patristic Christian authors. Prerequisite: CLAS 102. Fall semester.
CLAS 207 / PHIL 207 Greek Philosophy
A study of the ancient Greek thinkers who began Western philosophy with a focus on Plato and Aristotle. Fall semester.
CLAS 209 / PHIL 209 Hellenistic Philosophy
The course introduces students to the three major schools of Hellenistic philosophy that dominated Greek thought after Aristotle (Skepticism, Stoicism and Epicureanism) and their respective attempts to refine or reject the classical conception of the good life. Students explore principally the ethical implications of the Hellenistic movement, though certain issues in metaphysics and epistemology are covered as well.
CLAS 213 Intermediate Greek – GS7 C-SL
A completion of the study of grammar, syntax and vocabulary of Greek prose and poetry. Readings include selections from Herodotus, Thucydides and Plato. Prerequisite: CLAS 112. Fall semester.
CLAS 260 / RELS 260 Early Christian Monasticism
This course traces Christian monasticism from its rise in the deserts of Egypt and Syria to its spread throughout the Roman Empire and beyond, specifically to Ireland. In the Christian and non-Christian contexts, concepts of asceticism and holiness prevalent in various cultures of antiquity, and monasticism's relationship to the wider Church and society, will be examined. Early monasticism exerted a powerful influence on the development of medieval Christian culture in both the Latin West and Byzantine Greek East, and continues to be an important factor in models of asceticism and holiness in many parts of the modern world.
CLAS 314 / PHIL 314 / POLI 314 Classical and Medieval Political Thought
An examination of the political theories of major ancient and medieval thinkers. Issues such as the origin, purpose, nature and types of political societies, the meaning of citizenship, the relation of the individual to society and the meaning of authority and rulership will be investigated in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Augustine and Aquinas. Fall semester, alternate years.
CLAS 325 / WOLT 325 Classical Mythology – GS10 C-WT
This course will study both Greek and Roman mythology in their literary and cultural contexts. The course will consider the meanings, purposes and universality of various myths, such as the stories of Prometheus, Orpheus, Oedipus and Aeneas. It may also include comparative elements, touching, for example, Norse, Celtic and American Indian myths.
CLAS 326 / HIST 326 The History of Ancient Greece
This course explores ancient Greek civilization from its dawn in the second millennium B.C. to its absorption by the Roman Empire in the third century B.C. Key themes will include: tyranny and democracy; innovations in philosophy and science; competition through warfare and athletics; mythology, poetry and history; and new standards in art and architecture. This course seeks to illustrate how different our world would be without the vibrant and creative culture of ancient Greece. Fall semester, alternate years.
CLAS 327 / RELS 327 Ancient Wisdom and the Modern Search for Meaning – GS 1 (Upper) C-CI
What is the good life? What can a person truly know? Is there justice in the world? These are some of the fundamental, universal questions of the human condition. Answers to these questions from the biblical tradition are most readily found in those books of the Hebrew Bible collectively known as the Wisdom Literature. This course will raise these fundamental questions and look at how the biblical Wisdom Literature answers them, along with similar writings from elsewhere in the ancient world as well as modern literature and film. As a result of this analysis, students will have the opportunity to construct a coherent and viable structure of meaning for their own life's journey.
CLAS 328 / HIST 328 The History of Ancient Rome
This course is an exploration of Roman civilization from its origin in a tiny Italian village in the eighth century B.C. to the decline of its vast empire in the fifth century A.D. Key themes include political, administrative and legal achievements; conquest, imperialism and multi-culturalism; the shift from republic to empire; daily life in town and country; the impact of Christianity; architecture and urbanism. This course is designed to provide students with a firm grounding in the Roman experience and a keen awareness of what we today owe the Romans of the distant past. Spring semester, alternate years.
CLAS 334 / PHIL 334 Tragedy and Philosophy – GS 10 C-EI
A study of tragedy as a dramatic and literary form, and the different Western philosophical theories of tragedy inspired by that art form. One half of the course concentrates on Greek tragedy (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides) and its commentators, both ancient (Plato, Aristotle) and modern. The second half examines both Renaissance and modern examples of the tragic tradition with contemporary philosophical readings on the significance of that tradition. Spring semester.
CLAS 335 A Brief History of Body Parts – GS 10/12 C-BB
The course traces the impact of ancient medical thought on modern medical theory and practice, studying how concepts foundational to modern medicine got their start in the classical world. Such concepts include not only certain anatomical structures and physiological functions, but the very idea of anatomy itself — literally, a "dividing up" of the body into parts — as the basis for a naturalistic understanding of health and disease and ultimately for the therapeutic approaches characteristic of Western medicine.
CLAS 490 Independent Study
This course allows a student and instructor to read a major classical author or text of particular interest. Prerequisite: instructor's consent and approval of the Associate Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts.
RELS 314 The Origins of Biblical Monotheism – GS 1 (Upper) C-CI
The course will trace the development from the polytheistic religions of the ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean worlds and the multiple origins of ancient theological and philosophical critiques of those beliefs which in turn led to the belief in a single deity, understood in various ways. Careful attention will be given to the rationales used to both support and undermine long-held religious systems along with the ongoing development in the understanding of a single supreme being.

Inside the Column 1 Content, I added the page containing slides. And selected "Preview Image and post content". When I select "only post content" the slideshow is not shown. I think this is a bit unintuitive because I was considering slideshow as the content of the page. Is this intentional behaviour or not?

No, you cannot get car insurance just using an international driving permit (IDP).
Most all insurance companies will require that you have a US driver's license in which to rate you on for a personal auto insurance policy. You may be able to start a policy with a foreign license but then you must obtain a US license in a short period of time, normally 30 to 45 days.
There are some specialty insurance providers that may allow international drivers with valid foreign licenses to obtain and maintain auto insurance however we are not aware of any insurance company that will insure you only using an international driver permit.
The IDP is a translation of the information on your foreign driver's license, not a valid driver's license. It is typically your country's valid driver's license that allows you to drive in the US though an IDP may be helpful to an insurer, police, etc since it is a translation of your license in English, it is not a valid license on its own and thus cannot be used to drive a vehicle or get insurance on.

text:
Some of us have grown up with mixed ideas about authority and submission and frankly, we find ourselves confused at times when trying to decide whether to require our children to obey.
But obedience is bigger than a parenting issue. It's a life skill. When children learn to give up their agenda or sacrifice their activity to do what someone else says, they're learning how to live successfully with others in life.
You're training your child for the future. It's not enough to simply change a child's behavior to conform to your present desires. Look long term. Things like obedience, submission, and honor toward God and others are attitudes learned as a child and practiced throughout life.
One verse that reminds us that our present discipline has long-term ramifications is Proverbs 22:6. It says, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it." Our kids are in training.
It's good to tell your children why they need to obey. Share with them your motivation and goals for them. Tell them that they need to learn to obey your words so that when they grow up they will know how to obey God and work with others. Poor habits and selfishness are hard to deal with in children, but the older the child, the harder it is to break these patterns. Disciplining our children effectively when they're young will save them much pain later on in life.

Who Wore It Better? Pink Chanel Dress
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
What does one wear to a Karl Lagerfeld dinner party in Paris? Why, a fabulous Chanel frock. That's exactly what Rachel Bilson did with her bright pink Chanel dress back in October. Designer Tory Burch seemed to also fancy the sarong-like dress, so she wore with Proenza Schouler shoes to another Chanel event: the Nuit de Diamants at The Plaza in NYC. Both are pretty in pink, but which one appeals to the girlie girl in you?

They are both a bit too petite for this style...to much fabric at their shoulders. Lovely despite this. Charlize or Angie J have the stature for this dress...tho neither would probaably wear it.

This dress looks so much better on Rachel, she really just let the dress stand out on its own, unlike Tory did by adding that clutch.

I would usually say Rachel Bilson, because that girl can do no wrong in my book, but this time I have to go with Tory Burch. Rachel still looks cute, but the dress just fits Tory better, and because of that I think she looks more comfortable. That adorable clutch helps the look too.

I don't mind Tory's shoes and of course the peep toes and great and safe on Bilson. I like the dress, on them they seem to need a thick chucky black belt. I think I would rather see this on a taller girl though.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, May 14, 2011
KEAAU » Kamehameha has just one final job to do, one more champion to knock off.
The Warriors ousted No. 2 seed Moanalua of the Oahu Interscholastic Association last night, 25-17, 25-13, 25-18, in advancing to today's title game of the New City Nissan/HHSAA Boys Volleyball State Championships at Keaau High School.
Interscholastic League of Honolulu winner Punahou won the past two state titles at the expense of Kamehameha, and stands in the way once again.
The Warriors, who last won it in 2002, are out to prove they can shed the "runner-up" tag.
"One more to finish our season off against the best you can imagine," said senior hitter Micah Christenson, who confounded Na Menehune with his deft passing and 15 kills. "We're a very close group, we're all great friends and I think we're going to come together and play our absolute best tomorrow. We honestly, truly believe this year we can get it."
At Keaau
» Pearl City def. Baldwin 25-21, 25-19
» Waiakea def. King Kekaulike 25-13, 25-17
» Punahou def. Kamehameha-Hawaii 25-20, 25-15, 25-20
» Kamehameha def. Moanalua 25-17, 25-13, 25-18
Previously unbeaten Moanalua (17-1) was Kamehameha's third victim in three days, and second to win its league. Only the Buffanblu, who dealt Kamehameha two losses in the regular season, remain.
Kamehameha minimized the damage inflicted by Moanalua's big gun, 6-foot-4 senior Richard Harpole. Harpole had a team-high 11 kills, but hit just .062 against stacked defense. Na Menehune teammates weren't able to compensate; Moanalua hit negative 0.68.
"We were hoping for a complete game, but our passing broke down," Moanalua coach Doug Hee said. "Overall we just had one of those bad nights."
Kamehameha hasn't seemed capable of putting up one of those since stuffing 'Iolani in the ILH playoff game for a state berth.
First-year coach Kainoa Downing credited Christenson's leadership and the team's overall rise in maturity to its recent level of play.
Performing against Punahou, the team's historic tormentor and winner of 29 boys volleyball state titles, is different. But Kamehameha plans to shut all the past frustrations out of mind.
"Endless wins. How do we deal with that? They walk like champions," Downing said of Punahou. "We'll see. (We're) a different team this year. I think we're ready."
An ILH team will win it all for the 31st straight year. The last non-ILH winner was Roosevelt in 1979.

Eating Babies II: Coming Back for Seconds
Zhu Yu's would-be debunkers are unconvincing and the culture of death is emerging.
11:00 PM, Jan 8, 2003 • By J. BOTTUM
A FEW DAYS AGO--the night of January 1, as it happens--British television's Channel 4 aired a program about art in China that featured photographs of performance artist Zhu Yu eating the corpse of a stillborn baby.
Other Chinese artists shown in the program painted dead Siamese twins with their blood and drank wine that had been used to preserve an amputated human penis. This caused, as you might expect, a certain amount of upset in the former home of the now, at last, completely deceased Queen Victoria. "Perverts and Narcissists: Channel 4's Cashing in on a Chinese Artist Eating a Dead Baby Is a Greater Outrage Than the Cannibalism," opined a headline in the Guardian. Speaking a more traditional British idiom, the Liverpool Post gave over the front page to "It's Sick: Bereaved Mum Hits out at TV Baby Shocker."
The program--called "Beijing Swings!" and hosted by the London Times's art critic Waldemar Januszczak--even caused some comment in America. "C4 Backs Baby-Eater," noted Daily Variety. "Baby-Biting Photos Will Air: Channel 4 Defends Docu on Chinese Art," explained the Hollywood Reporter, while the Philadelphia Daily News chimed in with "Chinese 'art' lands on British TV." "TV Execs Defend Program On Eating Dead Tot," added the Toronto Sun.
All of which led me to write a Daily Standard piece last week called Eating Babies. I intended the story about Channel 4--together with a 1995 news report about a clinic that asserted the nutritional value of aborted fetuses--to be merely a strong anecdotal introduction to a reflection about the decay of the old picture of culture as necessarily involved in defending reverence for the human--to be replaced by a new picture, the final shape of which I cannot fully discern but which seems to be a complete culture of death.
I received a surprising number of e-mails in response to that column, and what was odd was that a good many insisted I must be making up the whole thing about Channel 4 and Zhu. I wasn't. You can find online news items about the brouhaha here, here, and here. There really is a British Channel 4, there really is a man named Zhu Yu, he really did have photographs taken of his eating what he and the Times's Januszczak and the program's producers said actually was a stillborn baby's corpse, and the pictures really were aired.
Declaring my column a "blood libel" against the Chinese people, the Boston Phoenix linked to two web discussions that many of the e-mailers cited as well--the well-respected Snopes.com and David Emery's About.com site on urban legends--both of which, it was claimed, leave the stories about Zhu Yu and the 1995 clinic "debunked" and "discredited."
THIS NEEDS some sorting out. There is, in fact, an urban legend out there, captured in the title of the Snopes article: "Taiwan's Hottest Restaurants Offer Grilled and Barbequed Fetuses." And this legend certainly has been debunked. The timing is a little confused. In recent interviews promoting the British television program, Zhu Yu says he performed the baby-eating in his home in 2001. But the exhibition of the photographs documenting it was apparently for a 2000 show called "Eating People." Regardless, in 2001, a Malaysian paper printed the photos of Zhu in his Beijing home--and claimed they were pictures of a restaurant in Taiwan that serves dead babies for the discerning diner.
Once the pictures were picked up on the web (by rotten.com), the legend was set loose--and rightly attacked by Emery and Snopes, who note that Taiwan is not Beijing, a single performance artist is not an entire culture, and, anyway, there is a long history of falsely accusing other peoples of eating babies (this is where the Boston Phoenix lifted the "blood libel" bit).

Little over 21,000 Square feet. There's more yard behind me on the picture. The front yard was a pretty decent size, and the lawn extended down to a ditch on the other side of the fence in the picture by about 10 feet. The front yard wasn't nearly as grown as the back lawn was, however I had to do some good trimming down on the bank of the ditch. Took me about 3 hours not including load time and ten minutes of windshield time. I mowed the back twice with a quick clean up pass on the second pass walking fast.
As far as the trimmer, as I said earlier, I started with the trimmer. I don't have a guard on it, but I don't like putting the 22" of line out on the trimmer. It might not hurt it one time, but you can bet putting 22" of trimmer line out on the trimmer just because there's no guard on it for several hours, will burn a trimmer pretty quick. I'd rather replace residential toro for $75.00 at a Pawn Shop then my $350.+ trimmer. I did indeed take the blade of that mower as soon as I got finished with it to put back on the grinder.
I'm going to time it next time with the new Turf Master.
I failed to mention the front yard had quite a bit of edging. A nice long straight sidewalk. I also even put a nice edge on the ditch drainage concrete to top of the yard because I put out some flyers at the neighbors house.

It's almost spring, so naturally the Crawford County Commission is thinking about road repairs.
It's almost spring, so naturally the Crawford County Commission is thinking about road repairs.
Randy Chiartano, Crawford County asphalt foreman, told commissioners during their Friday meeting that there are 21 or 22 miles of county roads that have not yet been sealed, including Langdon Lane and Baseline Road.
"You didn't mention Gooding Road," said commissioner Bob Kmiec.
"There's probably over 25 to 30 miles we're not too far from losing unless we do something," Chiartano said. "Gooding Road is in there."
He is considering recommending a type of oil with tire rubber in it for the job.
"It comes out of a place in Tulsa," Chiartano said. "We've never used it before. Johnson County used a bunch of it last year, and I'd kind of like to go up there and take a look at it.
Commissioner Carl Wood brought up the advantages of chip and seal with pug rock.
"Pug rock dries from the bottom up and it's just like concrete," Wood said.
"You get six inches of base rock down and it will carry residential traffic for a long time," Chiartano said.
He said that it would be safer to go with emulsion oil for the job.
"The other thing is a 325-degree product, and somebody could get some severe burns," Chiartano said. "There's three suppliers waiting to bid."
Wood calculated that the cost of the work would be about $14,000 per mile, or $300,000 total, plus preparation work.
"Last year we spent a quarter of a million on patching," Wood said.
Kmiec said that the county needed to get the chipping done, then look at patching.
As to whether any financial assistance could be expected from the state, the answer is that it's probably better not to count on that.
"Since 2007 we haven't had any money to work from other than our budget," Chiartano said. "We just keep falling further and further behind."
He said he hopes to start repairs as soon as possible.
"I'd like to start getting base rock down between mid to late April, if we can get the weather going our way," Chiartano said.
The commissioners commended county road crews for their good work during the Thursday ice and snow.
"One person called and asked when their road was going to be treated, and I said, 'Your road was treated at 5:30 a.m.'," Wood said.
Commissioners voted to change the date of the Franklin Sewer District hearing from March 8 to March 22. Student Government Day has been scheduled on March 27.

Jar City, Lost, "The Constant," Dan in Real Life
What: Icelandic murder mystery.
Why: "You make one mistake," says a rueful older woman, "and it haunts you the rest of your life." That's the brooding tone of this existential drama from Iceland, which starts like a CSI investigation, then widens to hidden crimes, old mistakes and tragic daughters. No one can escape the past--from pregnancy to bad genes to buried secrets and bodies. The moody pessimism in sea-swept settings barely keeps a lid on the raw emotions of these villagers, who are all trying to break out of their literal and metaphoric solitary confinements.
What: Season-best hour of Lost.
Why: You knew it was coming, right? They had to get to time travel, since it--along with purgatory, hallucination and outer space--is one of the best theories of what it's all about. This memorable episode found a new way in, reawakening a show mired in confusing rivalries and enigmatic flashforwards. Now that a few weeks have gone by, you can see how well it holds up alongside other classics of time travel and fractured time, from Last Year at Marienbad and La Jetee to Memento and Donnie Darko.
What: Steve Carell romance.
Why: Steve Carell wants you to take him seriously. Writer/director Peter Hedges even calls him "Chekhovian" on the commentary track--which is a nice way of saying he's a little too low-key for this modest family drama. What he's got is likability--even as The Office's smarmy Michael Scott--and his melancholy vibe works well for this affecting down-to-earth story of a widowed advice columnist with three daughters, who unexpectedly finds love with his brother's girlfriend (Juliette Binoche, drastically miscast).

NFL Debut Doubles As A Homecoming For Lane
Posted By The Finsiders On September 5, 2012 @ 8:54 am In Football | No Comments
[1]The numbers may have been in Jorvorskie Lane's favor, but nothing was guaranteed. Players come and go during an NFL training camp, and it wasn't even a lock that the Dolphins would keep a fullback, a position that's slowly being phased out of the pass-happy NFL.
But the former Texas A&M Aggie survived the final round of cuts, and he will be making his NFL debut in his home state on Sunday against the Texans.
Lane recently sat down with Jesse Agler to rehash his journey from lugging furniture to bowling over NFL defenders.
"Really, I got away from football. I learned that MMA training, boxing training, was the best training. So that's what I did. I got away from football because I knew in my mind that going out running routes and catching the ball and stuff like that, that's natural because we've been doing it for so long.
"So what I did, man, I put my body in a whole different shock, doing the MMA training and boxing. Right now, it's paying off."
Lane may have had a different football fate had things unfolded a bit differently in College Station. He had been the Aggies' primary running back, but when Mike Sherman took over for Dennis Franchione at Texas A&M, one of his first moves was to switch Lane to fullback, opting, instead, to use the nimble big guy as a lead blocker.
"It was one of the hardest transitions of my life. I was the running back in middle school, high school, and college. You're looking at 10, 11 years. And moving to fullback, being three yards to seven yards, is totally, totally different. Really, you have to get your mind right."
Likely in part due to his decrease in production during senior season, Lane went undrafted. After a stint in the Indoor Football League, one in which Lane's skills may have been underutilized, he stopped playing altogether. Almost every time he turned on an NFL game, he saw a player he had played with in the Big 12. Former teammates like Mike Goodson and Stephen McGee had established themselves as tenured professionals.
So, with the help of a former Texas A&M coach, he started sending weigh-in pictures to Sherman, who had recently been named the Dolphins' offensive coordinator. Once Lane got into playing shape, he finally spoke with an impressed Sherman, who told him to expect a phone call from Jeff Ireland some time after 2 p.m. that day.
"I got the butterflies right then. So around 2:30, 3 o'clock, I see a 214 number," Lane said. "Usually you don't answer a number like that. So something told me to answer it, so I answered it. It was Mr. Ireland. He was like, 'Hey Jorvorskie, how you doing?' Whoa, I was really stunned."
When they spoke, Ireland's message was made clear: "If you show up at 270, it's a no go." Lane, of course, had already shed the weight, and he arrived to Miami shortly thereafter.
It hasn't been the easiest path to an NFL roster, but the journey itself has created an endless supply of ambition.
"For me, it's mano-a-mano. I'm coming in through the back door," Lane said. "I mean, I look at guys that have been drafted; I don't really pay any attention to it. I keep to myself."

The United States Navy is observing the 70th anniversary of the battle that changed the course of World War II in the Pacific.
On Monday, Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Cecil Haney and other officials will fly 1,300 northwest of Honolulu to Midway Atoll where Japan sent four aircraft carriers on June 4, 1942.
Tokyo wanted to draw out and destroy what remained of the U.S. Pacific Fleet six months after it attacked Pearl Harbor.
But Navy intelligence cracked the code Japan's military used to communicate over radio, giving the U.S. advance notice of Japanese plans. The tables for an ambush had turned.
The U.S. sank all four Japanese aircraft carriers on the first day of the three-day battle and put Japan on the defensive for the rest of the war.

|Decision making regarding multifetal reduction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12774878 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To identify salient variables that influence decision making regarding multifetal reduction (MFR) and describe their effect on individuals over time. DESIGN: Prospective, exploratory, descriptive design, using qualitative and quantitative methods. SETTING: Midwestern tertiary care center. PARTICIPANTS: A convenience sample of 11 consecutive consenting couples with triplet or higher-order pregnancies who elected to undergo MFR. METHODS: Semistructured audiotaped telephone interviews at three points: (a) 2 weeks postreduction, (b) 6 weeks postpartum, and (c) 6 months postpartum; a demographic and marital adjustment questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Themes identified by content analysis and compared via matrix analysis between males and females and at three points in time; trends in marital adjustment. RESULTS: Dominant variables influencing MFR decision making were risks associated with higher-order pregnancies and preservation of infants' and mothers' health. Most participants identified emotional issues, including moral and ethical dilemmas, as the most difficult aspect of reduction. Over time, participants reported feeling more positive about their decision; nonetheless, negative feelings emerged progressively. CONCLUSIONS: Risk aversion favored MFR decision making. Yet, both making and living with the decision were emotionally difficult for this sample. Interventions are needed to assist couples with this decision and its consequences.

Women back in the grip of terror
Violence against women rising despite drop in official numbersYustina Rostiawati (extreme left) and Yuniyanti Chuzaifah (second from right) at the press conference in Jakarta
- Konradus Epa, Jakarta
- Indonesia
- March 10, 2011
An annual report issued by the National Commission on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan) says the number of reported cases of violence against women in Indonesia declined in 2010. At the same time, however, feelings of insecurity among women grew.
In its press release issued March 8 in Jakarta, the commission reported that 384 institutions dealt with 105,103 cases of violence against women last year. This number was smaller than the 2009's data, which recorded 143,586 cases.
"This situation cannot be interpreted as a decline of the number and intensity of violence against women. On the other hand, Komnas Perempuan observes that the year 2010 seems to be a turning point for women. They go back to the grip of terror," said Yustina Rostiawati, the commission's senior official.
The Catholic laywoman also reminded that the data was only the tip of an iceberg. The victims' difficulty in getting support from relatives, a deep feeling of shame or trauma and a limited access to available institutions dealing with such cases were the reasons why many more women did not report their cases.
Worse, she continued, 55 institutions involved in drafting the 2009 report on violence against women did not submit their data last year because of various reasons including an internal recording system.
Such a situation was implied in the report of the number of cases of violence against women, she said.
"The decline of the number of violence against women dealt with in 2010 can also indicate the decline of capacity of available institutions dealing with such cases, which are run by the state," she maintained.
Saying that the lack of the state's capacity in helping women becoming victims of violence is very alarming, she warned: "With difficult financial situation and strong culture of violence among the society, women will be the most vulnerable targets of violence."
Meanwhile, the commission's head Yuniyanti Chuzaifah acknowledged that the number of reported cases of violence against women declined. "But it does not mean that violence in the society also declines. Access to justice is still expensive," she asserted.

Equality Roundup: Is Romney Forcing Obama's "Evolution?"
Congrats to Herndon Graddick, new president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination. With loads of experience as GLAAD's communication vice president prior to his new job, he's in a great position as a national spokesman for full equality. An incisive Washington Blade article highlights his forceful style.
Speaking of new leaders, we've launched a search for a new executive director here at EQCA. Have a vision for the biggest (and we hope best) statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality organization in California? Help us continue our groundbreaking work!
And speaking of articulating visions: How Romney's choice of Richard Grenell should force Obama to "evolve" his LGBT positions. How Grenell squares his outspoke support of the freedom to marry with Romney's opportunistic vacillation is up to his conscience, but maybe he's supporting '94 Romney. You know, the one that supported gay Boy Scouts.
No word on what 2012 Romney thinks yet.
Yet another poll finds growing support for the freedom to marry. As per usual, this is outside of an election context, when support tends to drop, in part due to the scaremongering tactics of the opposition — tactics that Equality California works directly to counter with our support for the Breakthrough Conversation. But it's heartening to see that the longer marriage is legal for everyone, the less of a big deal it is. The poll also found growing support for gun ownership — good news for Pink Pistols, right?
Some of the encouraging news is to see that Catholic laity now support marriage for same=sex couples, even if the church itself is still as stiff as boiled leather.
In the Navy: LGBT leaders urge new submarine to be named for Harvey Milk. Harvey Milk may be better remembered for his trailblazing LGBT equality work than his military record, but he served in the Korean War as a rescue diver, and later as a diving instructor in San Diego. While we're still undoing the damage left from generations of institutionalized homophobia (see Sen. Mark Udall's letter to the defense department about streamlining paperwork here), naming a ship after an LGBT hero would be a good step in the right direction toward honoring the service of all Americans.
Finally, can we just say we're chuffed about the new Ray-Ban ad, from the "Never Hide" campaign? Never hide indeed.

C Spire, others join list of US iPhone 5 carriers
updated 02:48 pm EDT, Thu September 13, 2012
Like Cricket, tied to later launch date
Several more US carriers have announced plans to support the iPhone 5. Chief among these is C Spire Wireless, which was the first regional carrier in the US to get the device. The other companies stepping forward are also regionals, namely Appalachian Wireless, Bluegrass Cellular, Cellcom, and GCI. In each case the carriers will only launch the new iPhone on September 28th, a week after AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon.
Cricket, a national prepaid provider, was the first US carrier to announce plans for the 28th. A party still notably missing from the equation is Virgin Mobile, which already sells the iPhone 4S. It may reveal plans by the end of the week.

Thanks for this very cool brush tuts, I like it.

Bristle Brush is a disappointment. For example, no separate bristles, it all looks "mushy". Painter has had rakes and impasto for years. Yes BB has sliders but to no avail.

Meet the ambitious musician from the suburbs who's built an online audience 200,000 strong.
It's a cold January night, and some 20 people have turned out for an evening at the Fenix Bar in Phoenixville. There's a singer-songwriter crooning over an acoustic guitar, but tonight's crowd is here to eat, drink and socialize. The musician, as far as they're concerned, is simply a nice plus. And as far as he's concerned, that's okay. Not every gig needs to be all about him.
Jordan White sits on a stool near the door of the swanky bar, lightly illuminated by the blue and green neon signs on the window. As he sings, he caters his songs to the crowd, mostly setting aside his originals to spend the majority of his set covering bands like Third Eye Blind, R.E.M. and Guns N' Roses.
When he does play his own material, it's clear that White's style was formed in the crucible of that same '90s pop-rock. Ballads such as "No Promises" walk the familiar artistic line between impassioned and overwrought: "Last night I whispered to myself / That the true enemy comes from within / 'Cause I took another dip in your fire / And I think I burned myself again."
That heartfelt-by-way-of-sappy vibe isn't exactly what's hip right now, but White either doesn't know or doesn't care. Hell, he seems totally content strumming along to Steve Miller Band's "The Joker."
White banters between songs with one of the groups seated close by, a party of about eight people who've come out to celebrate a birthday. He cheerfully plays "Happy Birthday" to Jamie, the woman of the hour; afterwards, he takes her request to play "Wonderwall," the 1995 Oasis hit. It's a gloriously cheesy song—one that some indie rockers would scoff at playing, Ryan Adams' cover version notwithstanding. But cheesy doesn't register with White. The guy has a built-in cup holder on his microphone stand.
Earlier, trying to express his love of music, he'd furrowed his brow in thought before declaring: "It's a way to tattoo yourself onto the world." It's a startlingly sincere bit of poetry from a songwriter who would be easy to underestimate.
White lives in Philadelphia's suburbs. He plays in the city—he'll be at the Tin Angel this Thursday, Jan. 30—but not as often as he plays venues in Allentown, Reading and Jersey. Rock fans who follow the Philly scene don't necessarily have him on their radar.
But someone does. A lot of someones, actually.
See, Jordan White has some 200,000 social media followers—185,000 on Twitter, 19,000 on Facebook. For comparison's sake, that's just as many as Philly's biggest current rock success story, Dr. Dog, and twice as many as critical darling Kurt Vile. In other words, if you were to go by the sheer social-audience numbers, you'd have to conclude that White is one of the Philadelphia area's top musical acts—despite the fact that we mostly haven't heard of him.
It's a feat he's accomplished through a singular blend of 21st-century marketing, a nonstop DIY gigging schedule and, of course, good old-fashioned musicianship.
So: Who is this guy?
Richlandtown, Pennsylvania is not the sort of place a hungry young musician like White might typically choose to call home. An hour north of Philadelphia, it's a far cry from the bustling clubs, bars and cafes of the city. Home to some 1,300 residents, Richlandtown looks like any other rural suburb; strip malls and suburban cul-de-sacs emerge from acres of woods and paved road. But it has its own perks, White says, aside from the rustic beauty: "When you're in a bigger city, it seems to me that there might be a guy like me on every block who's trying to put his name out there. In this area, the competition isn't as stiff."
On the outside, White's three-bedroom townhouse looks pretty much like that of any middle-class American; there's white vinyl siding, a patch of green yard and a one-car garage. A small studio on the second floor, however, belies the façade of 9-to-5 normalcy. Guitars of seemingly every variety fill the room, sitting alongside stacks of CDs. A chalkboard leaning in one corner bears White's scribbled 2014 New Year's goals—phrases like "national tour" and "Play Saturday Night Live." And on the room's back wall, right alongside a bunch of '90s band posters and White's golden ticket from American Idol, hangs a framed unicorn art print—the sort of thing one might usually expect to see in a 16-year-old's room, not a 32-year-old's.
"I know the unicorns are . . . that's a long story," White says sheepishly. He's a fan, he explains, of the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn, which follows a unicorn who learns she may be the last of her kind remaining on Earth and goes on a quest to find any lost brethren. White sees the story as a symbol for his own struggle to overcome the obstacles on his way to achieving success as a musician.
"It was like an [allegory] for the music industry, which is really bizarre, because it had nothing to do with the music industry," he says. "It was the last unicorn on earth. [The others] were all pushed into the ocean by this huge thing called the Red Bull. And so many people get bulldozed in [the music] industry. Fight back."
White speaks quickly, fumbling and rushing over his words like a man possessed. He's passionate about what he's saying, even if not all of it makes complete sense at first.
His music is the same way. "We smell the inside of brand new books / 'Cause we just don't care how stupid it looks," goes the opening verse to "Maybe, Amy." White's vocals shine out clear and bright over the track, as he sings earnestly about those people "who'll light you on fire/ Just to watch you burn.
When he was 10, White and his family moved from their hometown of Cranford, N.J., to a then-almost totally undeveloped Nazareth, Pa., where White's father worked as an engineer for a software development firm. While the move, he says, was primarily about quality of life—crime from New York City had started to seep into Cranford, worrying his parents—the Whites' new home offered young Jordan a serendipitous spark: "It might have been fate or coincidence," he muses, that Nazareth is where Martin Guitar's factory is based.
Music had already been a big part of White's life, since he began playing piano as a child. "He sang before he spoke," recalls his mother, Dorothy. White's father, Frank, himself sang in doo-wop groups as a young man in the 1970s, and always predicted that his son would take music farther than he had.
"200,000 fans... yet he seems a bit of a muppet. i will have to listen to his songs to decide for myself."
"so that Don guy was referring to White as "muppet" as in "corporate "muppet" (or maybe he meant "puppet") - which is humorous"
"seriously I had hurd of this guy but didn't listeneded yet I saw good review of no promises his song and downloaded it is beaytiful just go on iTunes and type Jordan white no promises"
"after reading this and that city paper article, i am on pw's side. that city paper argument doesn't even make any sense...so city paper is mad that pw put someone on the cover who could have a lot of fake followers... but then it turns out that he didn't? then why even publish the article at all?? pw--keep up the good work; city paper--not so much"
"I agree. The problem is Phila Weekly blows City Paper out the H20 in terms of circulation and popularity, plus the so-called "author" (more like single, bitter woman) used to work for Phila Weekly, a clear conflict of interest, or if you look at it, a clear motive. she's doin what sshe can to find some BS to nail them. no one has every heard of City paper anyway."

Cucumber, a trailing vine of the gourd family. Its green fruit—usually long and warty with crisp, white flesh—is sliced and eaten raw in salads, or pickled with dill or other spices and eaten as a relish. Cucumbers are also prepared creamed, braised, or au gratin. Cucumbers are a good source of vitamins A and C and potassium. They are low in calories and contain very little fat.
The cucumber has hairy leaves and stems. The three-lobed leaves grow up to six inches (15 cm) long. The fruit is oblong and has a fleshy pulp. It is dark green and, typically, up to nine inches (23 cm) long. The cucumber plant bears yellow, bell-shaped flowers.
Cucumber plants require warmth, moisture, and sandy loam soil. They are sprawling plants and should be planted in rows five to six feet (1.5 to 1.8 m) apart.
Cucumbers are attacked by many diseases and insects. To combat their insect enemies, which include aphids and striped cucumber beetles, the vines are sprayed with pesticides such as malathion or carbaryl. Diseases such as scab, mosaic disease, and mildew are controlled by destroying weeds (which can carry the diseases) and old vines and by planting disease-resistant varieties.
The cucumber is Cucumis sativus of the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae.

Wolves' legend recovering in hospital
Wolves have been shocked and saddened to hear that Dave Wagstaffe, the iconic winger of the 1960s and 1970s, has suffered a heart attack.
Waggy, as he has always been known in his time as both a player and a resident in Wolverhampton, had the attack early on Sunday morning and is now recovering after surgery at the city's New Cross Hospital.
One of the last of the great traditional wingers, he was always a crowd favourite in his 12 years with the club during which time he made 404 appearances including the 1974 League Cup Final when Wolves beat Manchester City – the team he moved to Molineux from on Boxing Day 1964.
Dave, who celebrated his 70th birthday earlier this month, was a very popular inductee into the club's Hall of Fame at the latest dinner in January, with many of his family and friends in attendance. He is pictured on stage during the event at Molineux.
The club have spoken to Dave's partner Val this morning and everyone at Wolverhampton Wanderers would like to send their very best wishes to Dave for a speedy recovery.
