"OH MY GOSH I'M SO SORRY!" ___________ cried as she turned her back covering her face.
"Y-you should be!" A very flustered Yao whined, quickly wrapping a towel around himself.
Today, ___________ got a good lesson in why it's always you should always knock before entering a house. Yao had just gotten out of the shower, and appropriately, was naked. He was about to make the short journey to his room to get his clothes, but was stopped in his tracks by the shriek of an intruder…
Guess it was a lesson for him too.
"I-I didn't see anything, I swear!" ________ said. Well, nothing too bad… like his *cough* hidden dragon *cough cough* because luckily he had his back turned to her. She did see his ass though…. and there was something she was rather curious about.
Yao growled, making his way to his room. "Well, you should be! Just… wait here. I'll be out in a minute."
With that, he shut the door to his room. ________ awkwardly sat down on the couch and waited the object that caught her attention on her mind.
Was that… a tattoo? she wondered.
Yao finally came out of his room, fully clothed and hair in his signature ponytail, face as red as his clothes. He took his seat next to ___________ and they both sat in silence.
"I um… made some tea aru. Would you like some? I'll have to reheat it though…" Yao mumbled awkwardly.
"Uh, okay… thank you." _____ replied just as awkwardly. Yao got up once again and went to the kitchen.
He didn't notice _________ staring at his ass as he walked away.
It has to be… that can't be natural
Yao came back with two cups of red tea, sitting down next to _____________ once again and taking his cup.
_________ however, didn't take her cup. Her sight was fixed on Yao, gaze filled with wonder and theories.
Yao put his cup down and finally noticed the girl staring at him. Face growing red once again, he coughed.
"Is something wrong, aru?" He asked, genuinely curious.
"Uh… it's nothing…." _______ replied, shaking her head.
"________, you can tell me anything…"
"I know. But you… you might not wanna know this. Or um, you might not want me to ask."
He smiled, blush going away juuuust a little bit. "Come on, I promise to not get upset."
_________ gulped and began twiddling her fingers. "Um… well… I did see something… you know, earlier?"
Yao's blush returned. "Um, well yeah… I guess that's expected."
___________ nodded, happy he was keeping his word so far. "And um, I was wondering… why did you get a tattoo of a panda on your ass?"
He nearly fainted, but regained his composure, coughing yet again. "I… I didn't. It is a birthmark aru."
_________ bursted into laughter.
"I-it's not funny!"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A PANDA! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!" _______ cried through her laughter.
Yao growled, picking up the girl and taking her to the door, dropping her at the entrance.
"See you later, __________." He growled before closing the door on her.
___________ stopped laughing at the sound and looked up, bewildered.
"Hey~" she whined. "Yao? Let me in! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh!"
Yao didn't let her back in that day.

Skip to comments.Easily Startled People May Be More Politically Conservative
Posted on 09/19/2008 10:34:48 AM PDT by james500
Fierce individualists, Americans figure that we choose our own political beliefs but actually it could come down to biology.
Individuals who are more easily startled by threats are more likely than others to support protective policies, such as military spending, the Iraq War and the death penalty, finds a new study.
The researchers measured levels of skin moisture as indicators of stress and anxiety for each participant as he or she looked at threatening images, including a large spider on the face of a frightened person, a dazed individual with a bloody face and an open wound with maggots in it.
Similarly, participants also viewed three non-threatening images (a bunny, a bowl of fruit and a happy child) placed within a series of other images.
The researchers also measured the intensity of the participants' eye blinks in response to sudden, jarring noises.
Harder blinks are linked with a heightened state of fear, the researchers say.
Participants who scored high on the skin and blinking stress tests also tended to support military spending, warrantless searches, death penalty, the Patriot Act, obedience, patriotism, the Iraq War, school prayer and the concept of Biblical truth.
They tended to oppose pacifism, immigration, gun control, foreign aid, compromise, premarital sex, gay marriage, abortion rights and pornography.
Those who were less startled by threatening images and noises were more likely to favor foreign aid, liberal immigration policies, pacifism and gun control.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
But looking closer at the description, I see that the images shown were of people in pain and the conservatives reacted more strongly negative than the lefties did. More concerned for fellow man?
Then how to explain the liberals' assertion that Bush will take away all of our rights?
That is a fear.
actually, its called being "smart" let alone observant, perceptive, and responsible.....
Sheeesh....don't scare me like that (my heart is pounding!)
Oh! You scared me with that threat!
Where's my gun!
Sounds right to me.
Conservatives are more attuned to mortal threats while liberals would stay in play and die in harmony with their Mother Earth God.
Conservatives are more attuned to mortal threats while liberals would stay in place and die in harmony with their Mother Earth God.
Leftists worship the likes of Castro, Che, and Stalin. Their agenda transcends whatever human suffering it might cause.
Is this a legitimate political ideology, or just a garden-variety personality disorder?
His definitions are upside down!
"more likely than others to support protective policies"
and then goes on to define "protective policies" as National Defense issue.
How about liberals liking "protective policies" such as SOCIALISM?
Recognizing threats is a survival instinct. Liberals, as a whole, tend not to have them at all or if they do, they get it backwards (like Bush is a threat, terrorists aren't).
Well, not paying attention to threats, e.g., liberals, a person ends up like these morons who did not sense a threat.
Well...the liberal participants were not even shown pictures of what 'frightens' them the most more than anything in the world...(Bush, Palin and Conservatives)..so the test is a not dependable measure of liberal fear.
bitter people.
This is as valid as phrenology
Finish the though "were more supportive of pornography, premarital sex, gay marriage, and abortion."
Did they check them for THC? Which leads often to "What Me Worry?"
It could be like the movie Idiocracy, where the highly educated and intelligent people worry about the costs and timing of having kids and never do. Meanwhile drunken, unfaithful, stupid idiots are popping kids out like crazy.
Consequently the average intelligence of the nation declines at an alarming rate.
This article gets it TOTALLY BACKWARDS.
Conservatives are the individualists who are NOT afraid, and willing to fight.
Liberals are the fear based bunch who look to government to save them from everything.
"The researchers measured levels of skin moisture as indicators of stress and anxiety for each participant as he or she looked at threatening images, including a large spider on the face of a frightened person, a dazed individual with a bloody face and an open wound with maggots in it."
Yes, that would be disgustingly frightful to conservatives. Liberals would have kept the spider (PETA response), licked the blood and eat the maggots to save Mother Gaia.
Figure out a way to quantify hoplophobia and then get back to me.
Then how come liberals are the ones who want the government to indemnify them against every scary thing they can possibly imagine?;)
runs contrary to my family...sorry. My mother is very easily startled...and she's a whacko leftist. My father is pretty stoic and doesn't ruffle easily....big conservative.
No kidding...Almost always when I'm working at home involved in this or that on the laptop..
The phone rings and "HOLY CRAP!"
Makes me jump right out of my chair.
In other news, women who eat 2 bananas a day make better housewives.
Those who were less startled by threatening images and noises were more likely to favor foreign aid, liberal immigration policies, pacifism and gun control.
I think it's more likely you are frightened because you are conservative. This world is a dangerous place (noöne ever survives it): conservatives know this and are prepared to react to perceived dangers.
However many of the dangers have been contained. This has made it a safer place and allowed naive, trusting people to ignore these dangers and still survive.
This allows them to advance progressive views of Hope and Change and become the new danger. Thus the Great Wheel of Life continues.
Maybe the conservatives weren't stoned during the tests.
That still doesn't mean that their interpretation bears any relationship to reality.
I have my own psuedoscientific theory about why liberals cannot be persuaded by facts and logic. They're butts.
In the Soviet union, opponents of the regime were often declared insane, and put into asylums. Kommissar Obama and his minions are trying to do the same thing..
I seriesly doubt the results of this study.
Boo !
A threat, be definition, expresses intent. Now we know what makes demmies unable to react to a threat. They do not see it as a threat—if you get my meaning. When someone threatens a dems life, they just yuk it up and look the other way. "Whoaaaa", thinks the little demmie, "don't want to deal with that. I think I'll just look the other way. That'll make it go away".
A guaranteed steaming pile.

TELL CITY – As school-board members were discussing routine personnel actions at a regular meeting Tuesday, Sherri Flynn asked about the corporation's policy on background checks for new employees.
"All background checks have been completed …?" Board President Larry Bryant asked about several people recommended for eight paid or volunteer coaching positions at Tell City Junior-Senior High School.
"Yes," Schools Superintendent Ron Etienne replied.

TELL CITY – Perry County is by no means gangland. Its cities and small towns remain safe places to live, work and raise families – but gang-related activity here is on an upswing and police officers and educators are bracing themselves for what will likely prove to be a drawn-out battle against organized groups of teens and young adults who bind themselves to gangs that show a willingness to beat, steal and intimidate.

TELL CITY—Evansville North held Tell City to 28.6 percent field-goal shooting and defeated the Marksmen 59-42 in boys basketball Thursday.
Tell City Coach John Hayes said, "We have this mentality that if we, a player doesn't make his first shot, it's going to be a bad night. Most of the good shooters make less than half of their field-goal attempts."
With 7:44 left in the game Tell City's Shane Weedman made two free throws cutting North's lead to seven, 39-32.

LEOPOLD—After Perry Central's boys basketball team scored a rebound basket, Northeast Dubois Coach Terry Friedman called timeout with 7:02 left in the second quarter Thursday and told his players he was disappointed with their rebounding.
Later he probably wished he had saved that speech for the second half. Perry Central held the Jeeps to two rebounds in the first nine minutes after intermission and beat them 53-33.

Nikon S9500 comparison to Canon SX280
Today I added the Canon SX280 test, explained in the gallery. Since my S9500 was fragile and broke with a slight bump, I replaced it with the Canon SX280, and even though the SX280 is only 12 mp and 500 mm effective FL, it stands up well compared to the S9500.

The Nutrition for Growth summit in London this past weekend aims to end global malnutrition among the world's poorest children. Comprised of governments, businesses and civil societies, $4 billion was pledged to improve nutrition among children in developing nations.
Malnutrition is the underlying cause of death for at least 3.1 million children a year, accounting for 45 percent of all deaths among children under the age of five and stunting growth among a further 165 million.

Keywords: Malnutrition, stunted growth, breastfeeding, London, Summit
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In an agreement signed at the summit, the program seeks to insure at least 500 million pregnant women and children benefit from effective nutrition programs. Other goals include preventing stunted growth in at least 20 million children as well as increase breastfeeding and treating severe acute malnutrition.
"We will never beat hunger just by spending more money or getting developed nations and philanthropists to somehow 'do development' to the developing world," British Prime Minister David Cameron said, as he called for fresh approaches to help eliminate malnutrition and hunger among developing nations.
The London summit was hosted by both the British and Brazilian governments and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation.
"It has to be about doing things differently," Cameron added. "Different in terms of business. Different in terms of science. And different in terms of government."
Malnutrition is the underlying cause of death for at least 3.1 million children a year, accounting for 45 percent of all deaths among children under the age of five and stunting growth among a further 165 million, according to research. The economic costs associated with malnutrition are vast, estimated to total five percent of global output, or $3.5 trillion.
Up to 45,000 people rallied in London, demanding global leaders take specific steps to tackle hunger when they meet in Northern Ireland for the G8 summit of rich industrialized countries later this month.
The United Nation's children's fund or UNICEF welcomed the commitment to make nutrition a top political and socio-economic priority. "For children who face the unnecessary threat of stunting - something that not only deprives them of physical good health but dramatically weakens their potential to learn, to earn a decent income and to contribute to the prosperity and growth of their communities - today's gathering in London underlined a global determination to meet that threat," UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said in a statement.
The Enough Food for Everyone IF campaign, a coalition of British aid agencies, said the agreement had put the "scandal of under-nutrition" firmly on the map.
"We now need to ensure that donors stump up the cash as quickly as possible, hungry children can't wait," spokesman David Bull said.

First suggestion is to check MapViewer log for errors after you try to view the tile layer. You may have missing metadata, or broken definitions (base map or tile layer) pointing to data that do not exist.

I don't back up at all currently X_X. I have a 2TB drive which stores all my DATA and a 1TB for my operating system. If I need to reformat my O/S then it can be easily done. I recently upgraded to Windows 8 which is stable for now. Hard drives just suddenly failing is quite rare since you can use SMART tests to see when a hard drive is slowing down and may fail. So in that case you can rush out to get a new hard drive !
Trying to back up almost 1TB of DATA is not going to be fun...I may just buy a 3TB internal drive to back up onto.
Also if you upgrade your computer as much as I do (upgrade every 2-4 months) normally things don't get a chance to fail ^_^

Phend & Brown, Inc.
Phend & Brown, Inc., the contractor on both CR 300 projects, has issued an update on when those projects will begin and how they will affect traffic. On Monday, July 7, mobilization of equipment and the installation of traffic control signage will begin, and on Thursday, July 10, CR 300 will be closed just south of the intersection with SR 8 west, and dewatering equipment will be installed.
Check back regularly to this site for additional updates on both CR 300 projects. The construction trailer for both projects is located in the parking lot of SCILL at 1300 Kloeckner Drive.
CR 300 E Projects
The United States Department of Labor announced this morning that the national unemployment rate fell from 6.3% in May to 6.1% in June, the lowest rate since September of 2008. The drop came on the heels of an additional 288,000 jobs created in June, which was the fifth month in a row that more than 200,000 jobs were created, the first time that has happened since the period of September, 1999 to January of 2000.
The Town of North Judson in Starke County has adopted a Contractor Permit Ordinance which requires contractors or subcontractors doing business in or with the Town to obtain a permit and be properly insured. The new ordinance does not apply to homeowners who perform their own renovations, but does apply to anyone hired to build, remodel, or renovate a structure.The Contractor must show proof of public liability and property damage insurance of at least $1 million and have a certificate of insurance on file with the Town. Permits are not transferable and by granting a permit, the Town is not confirming the qualifications of the contractor.
Failure to obtain such permit may subject a contractor to a fine of $500 for a first offense and additional fines and legal actions for continuing violations. A full copy of this ordinance can be found by clicking on the link below.

Two Starke County school corporations were recently awarded part of more than $9 million through the Secured School Safety Grant Program, administered by the Indiana Office of Homeland Security. This program gives matching grants to school corporations that request funding to conduct a threat assessment, purchase equipment to restrict access to the school, or expedite the notification of first responders, or employ a school resource officer. The size of the maximum grant is determined by the size of the school corporation. Corporations of less than 1,000 students are eligible for up to $35,000, and for corporations greater than 1,000 students up to $50,000.
Oregon-Davis School Corporation received $32,000 to employ a school resource officer, while the Knox Community School Corporation received the sum of $30,752.60 for equipment.
CNBC has just issued its annual report on the top states for business for 2014. That report scores all 50 states on 56 measures of competitiveness, developed using input from business groups, economic development experts, companies, and the states themselves. States receive points based on their rankings in each metric. Those metrics are then separated into 10 broad categories, weighting the categories based on how frequently they are cited in state economic development marketing materials. The study thus claims that the states are ranked based on the criteria they use to sell themselves.
Indiana dropped one place from the 2013 report, finishing this year at 19th. For states that are contiguous to Indiana, only Ohio in 18th place finished higher, while Michigan was at 26th, Illinois at 27th, and Kentucky was 36th. Indiana scored highest in the rankings in the areas of infrastructure and cost of living (7th) and education (15th).
Since the report was first issued in 2007, Indiana has been ranked as low as 13th, and as high as 26th, with an average placement for the 8 years of the report of 18th place. That is far better than any of the contiguous states, with Ohio in 27th, Illinois in 30th, and Michigan and Kentucky in 36th place.
The Indiana Department of Education has recently announced that Culver Community High School was named as a Four Star School for the 2012-13 school year. That distinction is given to schools that perform in the upper 25th percentile of schools in the performance on ISTEP and ECA state exams, as well as their rating determined by the national No Child Left Behind statute's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
A part of Starke County is included within the Culver school boundaries, and Culver students are a part of the North Central Area Vocational Cooperative which has housed several of its programs in Starke County, including Automotive Technology and Welding Technology which are sponsored and conducted by SCILL, the workforce training affiliate of the Foundation..
According to figures released this morning by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the unemployment rate for Starke County declined from 6.9% in April to 6.6% in May. That rate has dropped in 2014 from 8.4% in January to its present rate. Starke County was one of only 15 counties in Indiana that saw a decrease in rates for the month of May. For the county, this marks the lowest unemployment rate since April of 2008 when it was 6.2%.
The State of Indiana rate held steady at 5.7% for May, due to about 2,000 unemployed Hoosiers returning to the labor force to look for work. For the month, Indiana added 4,800 private sector jobs.
The national unemployment rate for May was unchanged at 6.3%. Neighboring Midwestern states showed no change in Kentucky (7.7%), up in Michigan (7.5%), and down in Ohio (5.5%) and Illinois (7.5%).
State and County Unemployment
Accion, a nonprofit microlender, has announced that it is expanding its service area beyond Lake and Porter counties in northwest Indiana to include Starke, Pulaski, Jasper, Newton, and LaPorte Counties. Accion has been providing loans from $500 to $50,000 in Indiana since 2008 to existing and start-up small businesses that have been unable to get bank financing. As of March 2014, they have provided 70 small businesses loans totaling $455,627.
For more information concerning Accion, contact Ron Gifford, Business Advisor for Starke and Pulaski Counties for the Indiana Small Business Development Center by email (email@example.com) or by telephone at 574-772-5627.
The number of jobs created in the month of May was on target with estimates at 217,000 jobs created, which had the effect of leaving the national unemployment rate at 6.3%, unchanged from April. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that most of these new jobs came in lower-paying industries.
For the month, 145,000 more people were employed, while 46,000 more were unemployed. Long-term unemployment continues, although the average duration of joblessness fell to 34.5 weeks, the lowest level since November of 2010.
National Unemployment
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has awarded the bid for road improvements for CR 300 East, which is the main road through the industrial park to Phend & Brown of Milford, Indiana. The winning bid was for $2,395,770.88, which was less than the engineer's estimate of $2,664,000. As the result of this project, the road will be widened, and drainage improvements will be made, all of which will facilitate truck traffic in the park
The project is a joint project with Starke County, the City of Knox, and the Starke County Economic Development Foundation all contributing funds for the work. Phend & Brown was also the successful bidder on an intersection improvement at the north edge of CR 300 E where it intersects with SR 8 that will facilitate truck turns off of and onto CR 300 E.
There were a total of six bidders on the new project, with bids ranging from the low bid of Phend & Brown up to a bid for $2,955,439.78.

The Spartan Catalyst by Spartan0-0-0Watch
©2013-2016 Spartan0-0-0
"We're pinned down....need evac......." the static filled transmission ran through Spartan 000's helmet. She had gotten her team back and were retreating the area. Charges had been set for the oncomming covenant forces as a last surprise attack to slow them down for the pelican drop ships to come in for pick up.
"How far in is that team?" she asked, her tone flat.
"One klick" said a Marine jogging beside the Spartan.
The black armored soldier slowed her pace to a stop and turned looking back. The Marine slowed to a stop watching the Spartan.
"The charges will be going off any minute, we cant get back up to them in time....they're stuck...." he said a deep sadness in his voice.
"You save me a seat?" she said looking over her shoulder.
"Of course ma'am" he said with a smirk.
"See you in a few..." she concluded as her boots dug deep into the ground, launching her forward with incredible speed. Setting a marker on her HUD display of the other team she sprinted in their direction. Watching the timer in the corner of her visor of the charges, she might make it to them before they went off.
"Ares squad this is Spartan 000. A diversion is being setup for your evac. At my signal break for it and head to the evac zone." she said in between breaths, running with all she had. A static reply was all she got for comfirmation.
It took less than a minute to come up near the team. They were indead pinned down with heavy fire. Drawing the assault rifle on her back she broke from her cover opening fire on the covenant forces.
"Now!" she called to Ares squad rushing past them towards the covenant, drawing the enemies fire. The squad jumped up and with everything they had to get clear of the fire. Watching their signals on her helmet screen Jessica continued firing, keeping the covies attentions.
"We're clear!" the leader of that squad called over his comm.
Her gun clicking empty and glancing up to check the time on the charges.
"Shit.." she muttered under breath, dropping her gun and turning to run. Explosions echoed around her. Screams from the covenant rose in surprise at the charges now detonating.
"Go! Go! Go!" she called to the sqaud seeing them ahead of her turning and running back trying to reach the safe distance. The whistle of Banshees inbound screeched through the air. She was almost there, and gaining on the squad quickly. A concusion from a charge going off just to her right sent cracks scattering across her visor, her shields trying to block most the impack. Shrapnel bounced off her shield draining them quickly. A larger piece of the charge shooting out and busting through her sheilds, tearing across her mid section. A warning comming up on her helmet, barely visible through the damage, alerting her of the wound she hardly felt through the adrenaline. Running through the the heat blast she continued without a wince. Jogging now along side the team as they headed to the pelicans, she glanced back as seeing a pelican open fire behind them. The charges had indeed stopped the covenant temporarily and the banshees now fell in great balls of flames from the pelicans fire. Jumping onboard one of the pelicans she walked up casually and patted a marine on the shoulder.
"Thanks for saving my spot..."
ive never thrown a partial story to one of my pics before so here....i tried.... lol sorry for any typos and grammer and all that stuff im now to lazy to check for well ive never drawn explosions before, or those fancy non halo 2 banshees, or blood, or a spartans shield thingys so i hope it all looks ok, all colored on my phone with my fignered, i think ive rubbed the skin off my finger XD hahahaha just joking hope its cool enough for you guys

Saving Land - and Ranchers Who Work It Environmentalists, Cattlemen Team Up to Preserve Changing West Series: OLD VS. NEW WEST
Brad Knickerbocker, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
MILITANT ranchers asserting property rights. Hard-nosed environmentalists trying to force cattle off fragile Western lands. The confrontations are increasing in frequency and ferocity as old West encounters new.
But beyond the big-money lawsuits and political harangues, efforts are growing in the two camps to preserve both the landscape and a rural way of life. Environmentalists are realizing that the most likely alternative to ranching - residential and recreational development - may be worse for the land than cattle are. And ranchers are realizing (as many have known all along) that what's best for the land is best for business.
The McQueary family ranch in northern Nevada is a good example. Jouncing along in a pickup through pastures nestled against the spectacular Ruby Mountains of northern Nevada, Neil McQueary points to the flocks of birds on the lush wetlands sharing space with his 300 head of cattle.
"It wouldn't be too hard to envision this place cut up into 40-acre parcels, the mountains all filling up" with residential development, says Mr. McQueary, imagining what might have happened if the economic disaster his family faced a few years ago had come to pass.
But instead of this being one more story in what McQueary calls "the financial wreck of the '80s," an innovative arrangement involving the Department of Agriculture and two private conservation groups - The Nature Conservancy and American Farmland Trust - saved the 3,585-acre family ranch and in the process helped preserve a unique ecosystem and the wildlife it supports.
"There was just a real common purpose between this family and the goals that we had," says Graham Chisholm, Nevada special projects director for The Nature Conservancy who is working with the McQueary family to achieve economic and environmental stability here. The Conservancy, based in Arlington, Va., with offices around the country, has helped protect some 80 million acres in the United States through land acquisitions and conservation agreements with land owners.
Such stories are being told more and more around the West. In a new book titled "Beyond the Rangeland Conflict," former Sierra Club activist Dan Dagget describes ranches in six Western states (and one in Sonora, Mexico) that he sees as models for the future. Typically, these ranchers are working with conservationists and other ranchers. Several employ "holistic resource management" techniques, which involve moving cattle frequently to pattern the natural grazing of wild animal herds.
Best way to preserve
Over the several years he studied these ranches, Mr. Dagget moved from opposition to skepticism to a belief that range improvement could (and in some places should) include cattle ranching.
"I'm not saying that every place on any of these ranches looks better than a park or preserve," he writes. "They don't. What I am saying is that the trend on these well-managed ranches is toward more biodiversity and biomass rather than less; that significant portions of them are in good to excellent condition ... and that the places that aren't, are getting better."
The condition of rangeland across the West is a matter of dispute. The National Cattlemen's Association points to a 1990 study by the US Bureau of Land Management reporting that "public rangelands are in a better condition than at any time in this century."
But this only shows how bad things had become during the preceding century of ranching, critics note. The range may have gotten better, but this still means that just 36 percent of grazing lands are in good to excellent condition, the BLM reports. The majority are still classified as only fair or poor.
At the same time, as more city folk move to the mountains and valleys of Colorado, Montana, and other Western states (or join the hordes of vacationing skiers and mountain bikers who come for fun), there is concern that the "new" West may cause more environmental damage than the old. …

Good times filled with music, crafts, laughter and games will be held this weekend at the Mountain Heritage Festival.
The annual event has been held in the mountains of Stinking Creek for the past four decades. Originally taking shape at a kitchen table as friends planned the first event to be held down by the water.
The community event quickly outgrew the small creek side where it started and moved 10 miles down the road to the Mountain Heritage Field where it is still held annually.
Did you ever do much garden work? Whether a flower garden or a vegetable garden it takes a great amount of work.
It means preparing the soil, getting rid of the weeds, as you work with the soil you make it fallow so you can plant.
It reminds me that we must feed and take care of and give our souls nourishment.
A workshop for the LaFollette City Council uncovered a basket full of items to approve at the next meeting.
Discussion on the capital outlay note and the library grant took place during the workshop. Acting City Administrator Cade Sexton reported the library grant worth over $200,000 might be awarded to the city. Sexton will be notified by the end of September about the grant.
On Monday, the fourth annual Miners Mile will take place at Indian Mountain State Park. The Jellico event will feature a two-mile walk, 5K and 10K races. A total of 14 age groups can participate in the action, making the event a family activity, said spokesperson for the Miner's Mile Kevin Shelley.
"There is something for everyone," said Shelley. "I am always interested to see the places people are coming from."
The regular meeting of the Caryville Municipal Planning Commission will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 2 in the Caryville City Hall.
The East Tennessee Human Resource Agency (ETHRA) will be distributing USDA commodities on Sept. 3 at the community center, old West LaFollette School, from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 -2 p.m. Please bring a box and someone to carry the food out for you. For more information call ETHRA at 562-2948.
A syrupy breakfast was served up to support CASA of Campbell County in their efforts to help abused and neglected children last Saturday.
The event fed over 150 people and raised over $1,400 for local children in the court system.
CASA Volunteer Coordinator Maggie Inscho said the event was a huge success, bringing different types of supporters than other fundraisers.
On Sept. 11, the Campbell County Human Society will host a meet and greet designed at gaining new members.
Beginning at 1 p.m., the public, and their pets, can stop by pavilion number one at Cove Lake State Park to enjoy refreshments and learn more about the CCHS, said Elaine Maxwell, humane society member. Entering its 13 th year the humane society currently has around a dozen members. However, it hopes to see that number grow after the meet and greet.
"We just want people to come and see what we are about," Maxwell said.
The following indictments were returned last week. Arraignments are scheduled for Sept. 7 at 8:30 a.m.

Fans Think I'll Be like Nessa ..One Showed Me a Picture of a Naked Man and I Had to Look Away! Luckily They See Me More as Stella Now; RUTH JONES ON THE PERILS OF PLAYING FAME GAME; EXCLUSIVE
Byline: RACHAEL BLETCHLY email@example.com
A GROWING list of accolades. BAFTA awards. Chilling out with the President of the United States... Ruth Jones is a superstar in demand.
Which means my allotted time with her is supposed to be restricted to talking about her latest project, the third series of hit show Stella.
But 10 minutes into our interview and we are nattering away on a sofa, scoffing biscuits and discussing sexual fantasies and dodgy fan mail.
For, despite her huge success, writer and actress Ruth, 46, still can't get her head around the "fame thing".
She remains the warm, Welsh home-bird whose brilliant observation created characters like dippy Stacey, Goth-trucker Nessa, and eccentric Uncle Bryn and now single mum Stella and her equally colourful family and friends from the Rhondda Valley.
"I get recognised a lot," she says, looking puzzled. "And it's becoming more prevalent too - in London as well as Wales. I don't really understand it though. Whenever someone asks for my autograph, I still think, 'Do you really want it?' I still can't get my head around it.
"People used to say Nessa things to me, like 'Tidy' and 'What's occurring?' and sometimes they think I'm going to be like her.
"I went to a rugby match once and one of the girls who was there said to me, 'I've got to show you something.
You're going to love this.' And she showed me a picture of a naked man who was very well endowed and I went quite prudish and had to look away.
"I think she thought I was going to be like Nessa and discuss the merits of the naked man."
Fortunately for Ruth people are now starting to associate her more with Stella - and viewers have clearly warmed to the character.
"They do say lovely things about Stella," she smiles. "Really nice compliments about the show.
"Lots of women say things like, 'I'm just like Stella' or 'What are you going to do - you're not going to go off with your ex are you?'
"Someone said to me the other day, 'I really like your ex' and I have to go, 'You know it's only pretend, don't you?'
"But it's a great compliment that people get so drawn into it - they really get to know the character.
"I've done that myself. I've turned up to auditions and seen faces that I recognise and I think I know them. Then I realise I know them because they are on the telly.
NOT so long ago, I was in Tesco and a woman hit me on the arm. She said, 'Oh my God, I thought it was you.' I hit her back and went, 'Oi! Don't hit me. Wouldn't you be annoyed?'
"Then I thought about the headlines, 'Ruth Jones assaults Tesco worker'."
Ruth has become one of the best loved faces on TV but began her career in radio comedy for BBC Wales in 1991 and on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre.
In 1999 she was in the hit film East Is East and the following year met James Corden when they starred in ITV comedy Fat Friends.
The pair famously went on to write Gavin & Stacey together. The three series, which ran between 2007 and 2009, won two Baftas and four British Comedy Awards. Ruth and co-star Rob Brydon had a No1 hit with the spin off single Islands in the Stream, which they recorded for Comic Relief.
Fans are still desperate to see Gavin & Stacey return to our screens, so will there be another series, or a one-off special?
Ruth shakes her head a little sadly.
"No - there really won't be," she says.
She has also played down claims that a US version of Gavin & Stacey is in the pipeline and set to make her and Corden millions.
"Can I go on the record as saying I'm not making PS5million?" she said recently. "So to all my family and friends who think they're getting a nice present this year... sorry, it isn't happening."
Two US networks had considered making the show and now Fox have commissioned a script but Ruth said: "I mean, it could happen, but I could win the lottery. …

Funds That Invest Like Mitt Romney
TheStreet ) -- As Mitt Romney's career famously demonstrated, private-equity investments can generate huge returns. During the 10 years ended in 2012, institutional private-equity funds returned 17.9% annually, compared with 7% for the S&P 500, according to research firm Preqin. Taking notice of the fat results, plenty of pensions and endowments, have been shifting assets into private equity. According to Wilshire Trust Universe Comparison Service, institutions with more than $1 billion of assets have 9.1% of their holdings in private equity, up from 4% in 2006.It has long been difficult for retail investors to gain access to private equity. But recently several exchange-traded funds have appeared that provide some exposure. Choices include ProShares Global Listed Private Equity (PEX) and Market Vectors BDC Income (BIZD). There is also an exchange-traded note in the field, UBS ETRACS Wells Fargo Business Development Company (BDCS). Can the funds make you as rich as Romney? Probably not. The former Massachusetts governor and GOP nominee for president succeeded because of an unusually deft investing touch and lots of leverage. Still, the new funds could prove to be intriguing sources of income. Part of the reason that private equity can deliver outsized returns is that it is often cheaper to acquire stakes in private companies than it is to buy the stock of comparable public companies. Investors demand discounts because the private shares may be difficult to unload. In contrast, stocks that trade on public markets command higher prices because they can be bought and sold in an instant with a keystroke. Part of Romney's secret was to buy illiquid private companies at low prices -- and then sell them for higher prices in liquid public markets. ETFs don't invest in private equity directly. Instead, the funds hold the public shares of companies that own private equity. Some of the ETFs specialize in business development companies (BDCs). The BDCs can buy private stock or they can make loans to private businesses. Because of low interest rates, loans have been especially profitable lately. In a typical deal, a BDC raises cash by borrowing at 6%. Then the company turns around and issues loans at 10%.NEW YORK (

Hawaiian Airlines Flash Mob (VIDEO)
Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu, a San Francisco-based Hawaiian hula school, performed a traditional Hawaiian dance on a San Francisco to Honolulu flight on July 14.
The airline played the requisite hula music over the plane's speakers as the performers rose from their seats and joined the "flash mob" in performing to "Ke Aloha," a Hawaiian song, followed by "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" (get it?).
This is perhaps the most mellow of all the flash mobs we've seen recently (though that's essentially the point).
Others have simply drawn more attention to themselves while at the airport, from a breakout dance party at Beirut Airport's duty free shopping area, to WORLD ORDER's show of support for post-tsunami Japan, to Air Canada's sponsored Christmas extravaganza at the Vancouver Airport back in December.
Check out the official Hawaiian Airlines flash mob video below, followed by a confused traveler's PDA version.

You know, I think the entertainment the flash mobs provide is fun and all but........ why dont they really do something constructive, Like.......meeting and cleaning up state parks that are closing , pick up trash off our freeways and roads. Clean up a trashed neighborhood. Maybe clean up a neighborhood eyesore. How about helping disabled, handicapped, poor and elderly that need it at their home and yards. Voluntering at schools, See it needing done, organize to get it done. There are all kinds of things that they, we, one and all could be doing to help the world we live in.

Dana Point bans plastic foam containers
The City Council voted 4-1 to ban plastic foam containers on Tuesday night, with Councilman Bill Brough dissenting.
The ban applies to any food vendor operating in the city, including stores, supermarkets, delis, restaurants, food retailers, trucks and caterers. It does not apply to coolers and ice chests, as well as any food packaged or prepared outside of the city. Vendors can obtain an exemption if they can prove that complying with the ban will cause undue hardship.
First violations prompt a written warning, and the second and third violations are punishable by fines of $100 and $250, respectively.
City leaders say that tighter environmental regulations will help the four large luxury resort hotels in the city, which generate about a third of the city's revenue. The hotels compete for convention business with resort locations all along the coast, and hotel officials say corporate customers want greener convention and meetings spaces.
The plastic foam container ban will take effect six months from Tuesday.

OLPC Announces XO-3 Tablet
Tablet to cost US$ 75, aimed toward US children.
The One Laptop Per Child Foundation announced plans for a US$ 78 tablet to be revealed at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. Marvell Technologies will partner with OLPC to create the necessary hardware.
The tablet, called the XO-3, will come equipped with an ARM processor and run Android during its prototype phase before becoming an open Linux platform. The XO-3 will also have a screen at least nine inches diagonal and while the initial model will be glass, a dual display for both indoor and outdoor viewing built by Pixel Qi is planned for the 2012 version.
OLPC is aiming the device at children in developed countries. Nicholas Negroponte, the chairman of One Laptop Per Child has high hopes for the device, hoping that it will merge the functionality of an iPad, Kindle and an iPad, all while staying keeping costs low. Negroponte was confident at hitting the price point, but OLPC has had a spotty pricing record in the past.
A reference design for the XO-3 featured Marvell's Armada 610 processor, though no ARM chip has been confirmed.

Anyway, the point is, there have never been more full-frame models available at near-APS-C prices than there are right now. And that—the previous paragraph notwithstanding—means there never has been a better time to go full-frame.
LENS OPTIONSCanon offers 55 EF lenses, which cover full-frame sensors. These range from an 8-15mm fisheye zoom and a 14mm superwide-angle to an 800mm supertelephoto. There are also four manual-focus TS-E tilt-shift lenses and several macro lenses, including the MP-E 65mm ƒ/2.8 1-5x, as well as 1.4X and 2X teleconverters. Nikon offers 59 lenses that cover the full-frame format, from a 14mm superwide-angle to a 600mm supertelephoto. There are also three manual-focus, perspective-control (PC-E) lenses and several 1:1 macro lenses, as well as 1.4X, 1.7X and 2X teleconverters.
Sony offers 20 lenses that cover full-frame, from a 16mm superwide-angle to a 500mm supertelephoto, including full-frame fisheye and 1:1 macro lenses. There are also 1.4X and 2X teleconverters. Sony DSLRs can use legacy Konica Minolta Maxxum lenses, too.
Canon, Nikon and Sony also offer some lenses that were designed specifically for the smaller APS-C sensors, and these won't cover a full-frame sensor. Canon's EF-S lenses can't even be mounted on full-frame DSLRs.
Nikon's DX and Sony's DT lenses can be mounted on full-frame DSLRs, but when they are, the camera automatically crops to APS-C format (with a corresponding loss of angle of view and pixel count). It's best to use full-frame lenses on full-frame cameras, but in the case of Nikon and Sony, it's nice to be able to use your APS-C lenses when moving up to full-frame.
