The Faith Factor
By 2010, the spark that had been lit by Jensen at Westminster College had begun to burn brighter, as a number of civic leaders and community groups collaborated on The Utah Compact, a declaration of principles to guide the legislative process. The principles included federal solutions, respect for the rule of law, compassion for families and appreciation for economic impact. Among the signatories were two former governors, members of the clergy, mayors from both parties, business leaders and several former members of Congress.
And perhaps most importantly, in a state in which about 60 percent of residents and about 90 percent of legislators are Mormon, the LDS Church weighed in as well. "The Church regards the declaration of The Utah Compact as a responsible approach to the urgent challenge of immigration reform," a statement announced. "It is consistent with important principles for which we stand."
After being re-elected in 2010 with 85 percent of the vote—the biggest landslide of any contested legislative race in the state that year—Wright returned to the House as sponsor to a dozen bills, floor sponsor of four more and co-sponsor of yet another. Included in that thick stack of file folders was a bill he titled "The Guest Worker Program Act," which outlined a procedure in which the Utah Department of Public Safety would issue visas to undocumented immigrants and their families. The program would work like the medical marijuana laws in California and other places, where states regulate an act that is illegal under federal law.
Wright felt deeply the plights of paperless families caught in the middle of a political impasse—those fleeing abject poverty and violence, those with the ability and will to do jobs that most Americans reject, even in tough economic times. And he felt a righteous yearning to help them. It was, he believed, what his church had taught him to do.
Most of Utah's legislators shared his faith, but Wright knew he wouldn't win their support in a debate over doctrine. "You can talk about compassion if you want," he says, "but let's just go back to common sense. How smart do you have to be to figure out that we're not going to pick up millions and millions of people whose children were born here and send them back to Mexico? Even if everyone in the country wanted to do that, it couldn't be done… So let's all agree this can't be done. The question I was trying to answer is: What do we do now?"
Of all the bills filed and fought over during the 2011 session, only one—HB 477, which infamously sought to rob citizens of the right to view millions of pages of government records—was more contentious. Wright was a co-sponsor of that bill. "People try to peg me, but I don't think they can," he says. "I'm not your pawn. I'm not your prostitute. And I have an obligation to tell you the way I feel."
The guest worker bill was numbered HB 116 and later renamed the Utah Immigration Accountability and Enforcement Art in deference to lawmakers who wanted to support it but needed semantic distance from its key provision. "I'm not a populist," says Wright, who in the most recent session sponsored a strict abstinence-only sex education measure that won much public disapproval and a rare veto from the governor's office. "But I'd never run into something like this. The letters I was getting were the most condemning, threatening things. For the first time in my life, when someone would drive into my yard that I didn't recognize, I'd think, 'Who are you and why are you here?'"

Harnessing the contributions of civil society to sustainable development
3 May 2012 - 3 May 2012Sustainable development is the bridge, between environmental, economic and social goals, north and south, between Governments, civil society and business, between science and policy, and between policy and action.
New York, ECOSOC Chamber, NLB
New York, ECOSOC Chamber, NLB
To that end, partnerships for sustainable development ? voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development ? were an important outcome of Summits and Conferences on sustainable development held in the 1990s and early 2000s, and an important complement to governmental action. Partnerships enable all stakeholders to make concrete contributions to the implementation of sustainable development goals and commitments outlined in international agreements.
The need to engage civil society actors in the work of the United Nations has steadily grown over the last few decades with the realization that while in the past many issues used to be treated as national or regional are now global in scope and impossible for any one nation-state to control or address on its own. At the same time, these issues are linked in their causes and impacts and require more holistic, integrated approaches to problem-solving. Today?s many development challenges can no longer be tackled in isolation from each other. Tackling them more holistically requires new skills, competencies and resources and, above all, new types of cooperation.

Sterling Regional MedCenter hits complete compliance with flu policy
STERLING, Colo. (Nov. 28, 2012) — In response to Banner Health's new mandatory flu vaccine policy, 100 percent of staff members at Sterling Regional MedCenter answered the call.
The policy requires all employees, employed physicians, volunteers, contractors and health care students to be vaccinated or to apply for and receive an exemption, which can be given based on religious or medical reasons.
The requirement is part of Banner's "No Flu for You" program, which aims to ensure that Banner-affiliated personnel who come in contact with patients are vaccinated.
Julie Klein, CEO of Sterling Regional MedCenter, said she was proud of the staff for stepping up to the challenge.
"Having all 256 employees at SRM respond and do the right thing for patient care shows how committed they are to keeping our patients safe," Klein said.
The flu vaccine was provided free to all Banner Health employees, medical staff and volunteers, with vaccinations beginning in early September. All Banner Health facilities are working toward 100 percent compliance. Sterling Regional MedCenter and East Morgan County Hospital were the first of Banner's 23 hospitals to hit the mark.
Individuals who have an approved exemption and don't receive the vaccine will be required to wear a surgical mask wherever patients may be present during the flu season, from Dec. 1 through March 31.
The flu is a contagious disease and contributes to more than 36,000 preventable deaths annually in the United States, and vaccination is a very effective way to prevent it. According to the Centers of Disease Control, flu vaccination of health care workers has been shown to help prevent death in patients, as well as reduce the influenza infection.
Young children, people 65 years of age or older, pregnant women and people with conditions such as heart, lung or kidney disease or a weakened immune system are at high risk for getting the flu, which can cause fever and pneumonia and make existing medical conditions worse.
The flu shot that's given to all health care workers and the general public this year protects against two strains of influenza A and one strain of influenza B virus. This year, shots were started in September since flu season typically begins in October, peaking in January or February. The vaccine protects for about one year.
Banner Health's "No Flu for You" campaign also includes education about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, which can't cause the flu and is 70 to 90 percent effective at preventing the three most common types of the virus each year.
Banner Health is one of the largest, nonprofit health care systems in the country. The system owns or manages 23 acute-care hospitals, long-term care centers and an array of other services including family clinics, home care services, a nursing registry and home medical equipment services in seven states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada and Wyoming.

Veggie Potato Soup RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) vegetable broth
- 6 medium potatoes, cubed
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 large leek (white portion only), chopped
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 10 ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, combine flour and cream until smooth; add to slow cooker. Stir in peas. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Yield: 11 servings (2-3/4 quarts).
Reviews for Veggie Potato Soup
"This recipe is great! However I've been cooking it on a stove top instead of a crock pot. I boil the potatoes, and carrots for 5 minutes in the vegetable broth. Then I plop in rest of the ten ingredients. It takes another 10 minutes for the potatoes and carrots to get soft. Add the peas, cream and flower mixture and stir till combined. Let it cook for 15 more minutes on medium heat then BAM thank you ma'am."
"This soup was amazing! I am so confused by the reviews that said this had no taste. The only thing I did different from the instructions with use my own homemade vegetable stock, replace the peas with broccoli and cauliflower (not a fan of peas unless fresh from the garden) and used heavy whipping cream instead of half-and-half. As an additional little treat, I tossed some oyster crackers with butter, rosemary, thyme, and salt and baked them for about 10 minutes to use as soup topping! It was really quite delicious and I plan to make this around Christmas when the whole family is in town!"
"I burnt my tongue because I wanted to eat this too fast - yum! I made the soup on the stove top and add sliced sausage links. I also sauteed the onion (leek) and garlic in the butter before adding to the soup so that the flavors would start to develop. Highly recommend!"
"After a few modifications I can honestly say that this is my new favorite soup recipe. I used better than bullion chicken stock and used fresh herbs rather than dry. I used several garlic cloves and sautéed the garlic and leeks before adding the other ingredients. I never added the cream, flour or peas because I loved the flavor so much. It is wonderful and I look forward to sharing with friends and family"
"It was bland for my taste and my daughter said it was bitter. It was an easysoup to make in the crockpot and I liked that it was full of vegetables but unfortunately it wasn't a recipe to make again in our home.i sadly threw out the leftovers."

Since Barbarians can enter the Rage Mage class I ran into a few questions. Does the Spell Rage feature replace the standard rage or does it Augment the Standard rage? all in all I thought that Rage mage sounded good but that bit was a little unclear.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
OK, so here's the text in question:
This is a bit ambiguous. It mostly refers to Rage, not Spell Rage. From the text, it could be read as a change to all Rages. However, the table indicates "Spell Rage 1/day" and then later "Rage +1 use/day." This indicates that they are separate features with a separate pool of uses.
Effectively, Spell Rage is a separate effect that has to be activated separately from Rage, and uses a different pool of uses. Since both are activated as free actions, you can always activate both at once to gain the benefits of each. Note that Spell Rage specifically allows you to cast spells during a normal Rage, overwriting the usual restriction in Rage that prevents that.

Do this.
No doubt about it, paperwhites have to be the easiest holiday bloomers to force. Do it now and you'll have beautiful, fragrant blossoms for Christmas. Here's how:
Choose a tall glass container (with no drainage holes) and place about two inches of rinsed pebbles or glass beads in the bottom. Place the bulbs—root-side down on top. Add just enough tepid water so that it submerges the lower portions of the bulbs. Maintain this water level. Note: To prevent the water from smelling, add a couple of tablespoons of rinsed aquarium charcoal to the pebbles before adding the bulbs and water.
You should have blooms in four to six weeks. Once the blossoms die, throw the bulbs away as they won't flower again.

Maybe it's our state's abundance of accessible thrift stores, or maybe it's living within a culture that promotes resourcefulness and creativity while still living within our means, but it's recently been proven that Utahns are taking advantage of secondhand shopping, and their thriftiness is literally paying off.
Whether they're shopping in local thrift stores, consignment shops or on national resale websites like thredUP.com, locals are both buying and selling gently used clothing to keep valuable cash in their pockets.
ThredUP.com is a children's online resale shop that began a year ago when co-founder and CEO James Reinhart found himself staring into his closet, not wanting to wear anything in it.
"I knew I wasn't the only one," Reinhart says. "It got me thinking about the waste and efficiency in the clothing industry. There was no easy way for consumers to trade out clothes they don't wear for new ones." That's when Reinhart received the inspiration to co-found thredUP, which is like a consignment shop, but exclusively online.
"Our customers turn the clothes they don't wear into cash and shop brand name clothes at up to 80 percent off, all without ever leaving the house," Reinhart says.
The company recently released its First Annual Resale Report in celebration of its first year in the online resale industry.
According to the report, Salt Lake comes in fourth in the nation for resale savvy residents, most of which appear to be buying more than they sell on the company's online shop.
"The report helps to showcase which brands parents should invest in if they are planning to recoup costs later on through online resale," Reinhart says.
Brands like Gymboree, Oshkosh, GAP, Janie & Jack and Levi's are a few among the best to buy, with Gymboree coming in first for best resale value.
Customers interested in selling through thredUP can request a Clean Out bag, then fill it according to the company's guidelines for acceptable clothing donations. Once the clothes are received by thredUP, they closely review each item and decide which will make the cut to sell online.
"Every item that we cannot resell is entered into our 100 percent program, a partnership with national textile distributors and recyclers to ensure that every item is re-used and doesn't end up in a landfill," Reinhart says. "We continue to look for new opportunities to repurpose and reuse unacceptable items so that they are either donated or recycled appropriately."
For more information on buying and selling on thredUP.com, visit the website and check out the resale report.

ZF-8211: Zend_Tool should use autoloader in Project Context
I have a extended class in library/ in my project. When I run Zend_Tool, it cannot find a class in there: zf create action help blocks 1 ip Creating an action named help inside controller at /var/zf/application/modules/ip/controllers/BlocksController.php
Fatal error: Class 'Extended_Controller' not found in /var/zf/application/modules/ip/controllers/BlocksController.php on line 3
Extended_Controller is in: library/Extended/Controller.php
With Zend_Tool 1.10 we are able to use Autoloading in the context of Zend_Tool_Project, which should solve this issue.
I'll rename it and convert it into a sub-task for 1.10 requirements.
Resolved in trunk (for 1.10)
Still seems broken in latest trunk.
Steps to reproduce: 1) zf create project 2) create library/My/Controller.php:
3) add autoloaderNamespaces[] = "My_" to config
4) change IndexController to extend My_Controller
5) Everything works fine in browser
6) "zf create action foo" dies on error:

I barely noticed this version of the MilkyWay bar when it first came out. I didn't see any in store displays for it, nor did the packaging catch my eye. Which is odd really, since it looks very different from the dark brown wrapper of the original bar. It's called the "Simply Caramel" bar, which confused me at first because I didn't know what it meant. It was so straightforward that I didn't know what to make of it.
So what is exactly the "Simply Caramel" bar? Well, there's a giant band of caramel in the middle, enrobed in chocolate. It's that simple.
One thing's for sure. I had a blast photographing this bar. The caramel is not liquidy like a Caramello. Instead, it's wonderfully stringy and smooth.
It smells sweet and of caramel and cream with notes of chocolate, exactly what I was expecting once I had this bar out of the wrapper.
The caramel is smooth and sweet, with nice notes of cream and burnt caramel. It's a nice thick texture and isn't too sticky. The chocolate is nice and sweet with good milk notes and a good chocolatey overtone. What can I say, I'm impressed!
If what I've said hasn't convinced you to try one yet, consider this: my Mom hates limited edition candy bars with a passion. She thinks that the original candy bars are fine the way they are and all these variations are unnecessary and a shame to the originals. Yet, when I got her to try this one, she adored it. Just goes to show you don't know until you try it!

Plunge three miles to the ocean floor, and explore the sub's twisted remains in an effort to locate the shipment of gold.
Be privy to declassified intelligence reports that reveal how WWII code breakers helped track down sub I-52. Be there as US Navy veterans retell stories of their mission to hunt down and sink this Japanese warship.

The Italian operator's MSC Poesia cruise ship sails from Port Everglades to the Caribbean in the December through April season and its newest ship MSC Divina, will debut at PortMiami in late 2013.
Here's how the children dining options will work, according to the cruise line:
MSC Happy Dinners: Children are served dinner from the kids' menu and eat their meal with their family, but when finished are picked up by Kids' Club staff members so they can be free to have fun with friends their age. That allows parents to leisurely savor their courses and wine.
Fun Time Dinners: With MSC Fun Time Dinners, children dine in a separate, specially decorated area of the buffet restaurant with the entertainment team, and then have fun in the Mini and Junior Club while parents enjoy a leisurely dinner alone, picking up the kids when they've finished.
Both dinner services are available for free on all 12 MSC ships, and are geared toward children ages 3-11, MSC said in a statement.
Parents will have to register their children in advance with the Mini or Junior Club aboard ships and complete a special "dinner coupons," the cruise line said.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vick Just what I wanted! I had been looking EVERYWHERE for four white/ivory slipcovered chairs for a conversation seating area in my living room, but refused to pay $1200 PER chair. I found your beautiful chairs and slipcovers online and ordered them immediately. I LOVE THESE CHAIRS! August 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Can Can Ivory Luxe Chair Slipcover This is a true ivory (not white) canvas slipcover. It is thick and soft. It was a little difficult figuring out how to put this cover on the first time, but once I figure it out, it was a breeze. It is a snug fit, with zippers and velcro to help secure the fit. I have four cats and two dogs, so I really like that this can be washed, but I have already noticed that the pet fur really seems to attach itself to the fabric. I attribute that to the soft brushed feel of the canvas. For the price, sooo deserves a five star rating. August 11, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cindy18 Great for looks not for comfort I recommend this to anyone on a budget looking for a decorative pretty ivory chair. It looks great and the ivory is bright and crisp. I purchased it hoping for great looks and comfort. It unfortunately fell a bit short in the comfort department which is why it only gets 4 of 5 stars. The material is not that soft. It's a stiff canvas that holds wrinkles and attracts lint. I sat in the gray mink slipcover in the store and it was so soft and luxurious. Unfortunately gray is not the color i'm looking for. I'm hoping World Market makes this ivory slipcover in a softer material someday because i love the look and the frame itself is comfortable. February 14, 2014

Nothing new there. Also, WOPAH! The Editor is back!
Yes, I have returned to- when the blood soaked Protestant hells did you get red pokeballs?
God gave them to me when I asked him to clean out the competitive workshop.
I don't have much power, Im only a mod, but I can temporarily ban people after 3 infractions. At this point I am the only one who does anything to spam bots, and even then they just wait 9 days. A few even try to get tricky and only post 2 spam messages so I can't ban them. Silly bots, I can infract their profile .
I dread to think of the terror besieging us that leads God to make you a mod. But seriously, congratulations.
So, anyway, having successfully commandeered this topic, what have I missed?
So, in short, nothing much has changed since I was last here.
Oh, yeah, there is that.
I believe you are correct.
Oh no
It's The Editor
It certainly is.
I need to make a new avatar for after November...

Most of the families who come to the grief support groups at the Center for Good Mourning are dealing with an unanticipated death and often a violent death by accident, suicide or homicide (in that order). Violent deaths rock our world in deep and wide ways, partially because of the death with its grief and partially with the violence and its trauma. Rynearson and colleagues have lived and worked in the world of violent death and have insightful offerings which are both theoretical and practical. Broad in its approach, chapters deal with a variety of topics including spirituality, narrative approaches, parent and child concerns and suggested interventions for different populations. Of particular interest are the concluding chapters which offer perspectives and lessons from communities affected by violence: military communities, Oklahoma City, 9/11 survivors and Palestinian families. Throughout the book are themes of resilience and restorative storytelling. If one's job is to meet people in the dark places left by violent death, this book would be a significant and helpful resource.
Granddaughter Pig and Old Pig had lived together for a long time, sharing everything including meals and chores. Old Pig experiences the weariness that can come when life is coming to an end and Granddaughter is worries. With a quiet confidence, Old Pig does not worry but prepares. Part of her preparation is a long slow walk around town where she feasts on the sights, sounds, smells and tastes that have and do make life good. In the evening after her tiring and satisfying walk, Old Pig is exhausted and goes straight to bed. Granddaughter Pig stays with her as Old Pig had done for Granddaughter Pig when she was little and scared and for the very last time they hold each other tight until morning.
Old Pig comes from two of Australia's popular picture-book makers and the creators tell this poignant story with sensitivity and light humor. The pen and watercolor illustrations are expressive, warm and comforting. The final pages are illustration-only with no words and no words are needed. Old Pig treads lightly and surely on the tender territory of anticipated death at the end of a good life. It makes for a good read and is a treat for the eyes.

If you're new to this burgeoning franchise, "S-VHS" and its predecessor work like this: there is a wraparound story involving morally dubious people (in this case, a hipster private investigator couple) whose assignment (find a missing college student) leads them to a dark den full of old VHS tapes, screens and laptops. They begin watching them, oblivious to the hidden dangers surrounding them. The movie audience thus witnesses several short segments by different creative teams. All the stories, including the wraparound, are found-footage/POV style. VHS premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year, and the S-VHS sequel is part of the 2013 Midinight film series at the fest.

The entries are fewer this time around, but more intense. The first vignette,"Phase 1" directed by Adam Wingard, brings the most subtle creepy thrills in the bunch, showing us what happens when a man receives an ocular implant from a suspicious medical establishment that enables him to see ghostly figures (the very malevolent kind) all over his apartment. The second tale, "A Ride in the Park" by "Blair Witch Project" alum Eduardo Sanchez and Greg Hale was as funny as it was gory, a zombie cam POV sequence that skillfully employed touches of slapstick dark humor reminiscent of the "Evil Dead" series. The fourth vignette, Jason Eisener's "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" was the weaker of the entries, a standard story of teen/pre-teen party hijinks interrupted by an alien invasion, yet it managed some tense and harrowing chase scenes.
The crown jewel in this stack of snuff tapes, though, was "Safe Haven" by Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Huw Evans. A slow burn beginning makes you think this will simply be a story about an Indonesian Jonestown-style cult and the people documenting them But as it unfolds you are assaulted with an endless barrage of WTF moments that don't let up even after it reaches its splattering climax.
"There was a theme around the first set of films—the failed sex tape" said Simon Barrett, executive producer and writer of "S-VHS" during the Q&A portion of its Salt Lake City screening at the Tower Theater Sunday night. He was responding to a question regarding the perceived misogyny in the indie horror anthology series' initial outing, "V/H/S" (also a Sundance premiere, in 2012).
If you were to look for a common theme in "S-VHS", it might simply be "bigger, more"—a tried and true convention for horror sequels. Higher body counts, more carnage, bigger effects. The audience at the screening was certainly pleased with the results. But, this type of film is certainly not for everyone. It's bloody, loud, jarring, disturbing and utterly disgusting—something many hard-core horror fans tend to love. I happen to like horror movies, but I still left with a headache.
The crowd at the Tower was certainly pleased with the carnage turned up to ten. Does that mean future entries in the series won't have room for subtle and understated chills?
Remaining screenings:
Jan. 22, 11:59 p.m., Egyptian Theatre, Park City
Jan. 24, 5:30 p.m., Prospector Square Theatre, Park City
Jan. 26, 6 p.m., Library Theatre, SLC

No need to expound upon his achievements or even mention his last name. We all have our favorite Michael moment. Mine is headbanging to "Bad" as a toddler in pre-school. Instead of nap time our teacher let us run around like, well, babies. Me and a roly-poly, pigtailed friend nearly snapped our necks every afternoon. I'm pretty sure that guy was fired. But I would always see him bopping around Boston with his headphones on; very likely bopping along to "Bad."
Part of Michael's legacy is the advancement of music videos. Every time we see a lit dance floor, an errant tiger, Prohibition-era pop-lockin,' or massive flying marbles, Michael will be on our minds. But for every indelible hip thrust, he also left a rash of quirky videos that are largely beeping off the radar. Here are some of Michael's equally awesome – if less celebrated – moments.

Gear Review- Yakima LoPro Titanium Skybox 15
I couldn't get into the underground parking garage at Salt Lake Magazine's office yesterday. That was a surprise as I can drive into practically every garage - even with a cargo box on top of my SUV. You're laughing. No seriously I have an SUV with a cargo box and I park in parking garages. I don't like parking on the street. It costs money or there's a time limit; or both. I like garages. But when you have an SUV with a cargo box, they don't always like you. Read More

Didier Reynders reacts to the approval of the international Arms Trade Treaty
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and European Affairs Didier Reynders stresses the importance of the international Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which was approved by an overwhelming majority at the UN General Assembly on 2 April. Last week, a number of countries made approval by consensus impossible. Approval of the Arms Trade Treaty gives a boost to international diplomacy. It is the first time in years that such a sensitive theme has achieved global agreement.
The treaty has come about after years of preparation and negotiations. Belgium and the EU partners have defined a number of clear criteria for the export of arms, including respect of human rights and international humanitarian law. The export of arms is forbidden if they could be used for genocides, crimes against humanity or war crimes. A special reference has been adopted for evaluating the risk of certain weapons being used to commit violence due to sexual orientation or against civilians, especially women and children. Belgium has advocated for the export criteria to contain a clause regarding child soldiers, as exists in Belgian legislation.
The scope of application of this treaty is broad, encompassing not just warfare arms but also small and light weapons, ammunition and weapons components. Export, import, transfer and brokering will also be controlled. The treaty aims to make the arms trade more transparent, and help to make the rules the same for all.
As with any compromise, a balance has been sought between the sometimes strongly varying standpoints of the participating countries. Not all of our proposals were accepted. But this treaty is not the end. There will be a follow-up process, with voting to take place on certain amendments. The treaty will, in many cases, make a difference to current practices. This joint approach, aimed at preventing arms from ending up in illegal circles, directly benefits those who are confronted on a daily basis with armed violence. Didier Reynders calls on all countries to respect the balanced result of the negotiations, and to sign and ratify the treaty.
The treaty will come into force once 50 countries have ratified it. In Belgium, the Federal Parliament and the Parliaments of the Regions must have their say. Belgium remains bound by the sometimes more stringent legislation on arms trade in force within the European Union.

Cala Gonone : Michelin's recommendations
During the 19C, the wealthy inhabitants of Nuoro would make the long, tiring journey to this attractive bay for the summer. The small fishing village here gradually developed into the main resort on the Golfo di Orosei, to the east of the national park which links this coast to the Gennargentu mountains. The beaches to the south of Cala Gonone can be accessed via pleasant footpaths, by boat or rubber dinghy. The most impressive part of the coast lies between Cala Sisine and Cala Biriola.

Engine 1024, long a feature of Potter Park, was being moved to a hill across from the Stagecoach Motel, where it will be plainly visible from Highway 50 as well as the trains coming into or departing from La Junta.
A conversation with city worker Chris Arguello revealed that the path of the locomotive on skids was down Fourth Street. Arguello and other city workers followed the engine to move low-hanging power lines from its path as it traveled through the three-block area before it turned north on Barnes. Sandy Messick of the Woodruff Memorial Library explained that the locomotive must be pulled along a little at a time, from one stainless steel set of skids to the next, then the skids in back moved around to the front of the locomotive.

May 19, 2009
DeKALB, Ill. -- Sixty-six Northern Illinois student-athletes representing 16 Huskie teams earned their degrees in 2008-09, led by 20 members of the NIU football program, NIU Director of Student-Athlete Academic Support Services Francine St. Clair announced Tuesday.
The Huskies 2008-09 grads list includes 16 student-athletes who earned their degrees in December 2008, 35 who celebrated commencement earlier this month and 15 who are scheduled to complete their studies this summer.
"We are extremely proud of these 66 student-athletes who have graduated or will graduate this year," St. Clair said. "They have successfully balanced the demands of practice and competition with their academic requirements to achieve the number one goal for each of our student-athletes - to earn a degree from Northern Illinois University."
Among Northern Illinois' 2008-09 football graduates are 10 2008 seniors and four players who are scheduled to return for their senior season in 2009 as graduate students. Defensive end Brandon Bice, special teamer David Pratt and linebackers Spencer Williamson and Zach Larsen will return to the Huskie program in 2009 with their bachelor's degrees in hand. Larry English, who made NIU history in 2009 when he became the highest NFL draft choice in school history after being selected as the 16th pick in the first round by the San Diego Chargers, earned his bachelor's degree in December as did New York Jets' free agent wide receiver Britt Davis.
In addition to the football student-athletes, six members of both the NIU women's gymnastics and softball teams are on the graduates list, while five volleyball, five baseball and four men's soccer players earned their degrees. Every team except men's basketball, which featured only one senior last season, had at least one graduate in 2008-09 with Sharí Welton and Becky Smith the women's basketball representatives.
NIU Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeff Compher offered his congratulations.
"Congratulations to all of our 2008-09 graduates," Compher said. "We have many ways nowadays to measure how we as a university and as an athletic department are helping our student-athletes achieve success in the classroom. None of those indicators are as impactful as this list of graduates. When we talk about our department's mission statement of Developing Champions in Competition, in the Classroom and in Life, this is what it is all about."
Of the 66 student-athlete graduates, the largest number - 13 - earned their degrees in communications, while nine graduated with degrees in kinesiology and eight were marketing majors. In all, 19 different majors were represented on the student-athletes graduate list. The majors varied from accountancy and finance to engineering, biology, chemistry, political science and nutrition and dietetics.
"Everyone at NIU - from the student-athletes themselves to our coaches, faculty, campus resources and especially our Student-Athlete Academic Support Services staff - has played a part in this very tangible proof of our success," Compher said. "We will continue to make graduation the ultimate goal for every student-athlete who arrives on our campus and take great pride in the accomplishments of this latest group of grads."
Following is a list of NIU's 2008-09 student-athlete graduates (listed by sport) and those expected to graduate this summer. Their academic majors are also indicated.

Tiger Lightweights Gain Experience During Sixth-Place Finish At IRAs
A varsity eight loaded with both freshmen and sophomores can take a lot from this postseason, which ended Sunday on Lake Natoma with a sixth-place finish at the IRA national championships. Princeton had six underclassmen in its top boat, and they now all understand the pressure that comes in both the Eastern Sprints and IRA grand finals.
Head coach Marty Crotty is now hopeful that they can build upon that foundation into an even faster group next season.
Harvard was the class of the league this season, and it went wire-to-wire to win the national championship in 5:54.22. Yale, Columbia and Dartmouth put on a terrific battle for the other two spots on the podium; the Bulldogs held off both in 5:55.24, while Columbia took bronze in 5:55.74.
Princeton did make a late run at Cornell with hopes of getting into the top five, but the deficit was just too much. Despite topping the Big Red by more than 1.5 seconds in the final 500 meters, Princeton ended sixth in 6:00.43.
The Tiger lightweights gained experience in other areas too, as four freshmen were part of the heavyweight eight that reached the petite final, while four other returners reached the lightweight four grand final and finished fourth.
Harvard 5:54.22

It's the end of the world as they know it - again
Humanity scrapes by, but just barely, in Thornton Wilder's classic play
By Jenny Lower 01/31/2013
Unadventurous theatergoers may shy away from Richard Kuhlman's ambitious staging of The Skin of Our Teeth playing at the Ojai Art Center. Yes, a talking woolly mammoth and a dinosaur linger onstage, and yes, Homer, Moses and the three Muses make cameos. The central couple has even been married for more than 5,000 years. The danger is that audiences will fixate on this silliness and, exasperated, throw up their hands. But meaning exists for those who wish to find it, and with this successful production, the search is worth the effort.
Thornton Wilder completed his farce within a month of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, and its themes reflect the times: disillusionment with humanity bolstered by a thin but abiding faith in its redeemability. George Antrobus (Ron Feltner) is an Adamic everyman whose marriage to Maggie (Laura Ring) falters under the flirtations of siren maid Sabina (Zuzka Sabata), a blend of Eve and the Lilith of Jewish Apocrypha. Amid violent outbursts from his son, Henry, né Cain (David Stewart), and occasional missteps from his otherwise perfect daughter, Gladys (Julia Wilson), George invents the wheel, alphabet and multiplication tables. At the outset, the Antrobuses face an Ice Age that threatens to extinguish mankind. By act two, they've been transported to the Atlantic City boardwalk, circa 1920, with a looming flood. By act three, they're dumped into a post-apocalyptic warzone. Each time, the Antrobuses skate by, and humanity soldiers on.
It's an epic production, and the Ojai team deserves praise for taking it on. The show's biggest strengths are its lavish costumes and set, masterfully produced by wardrobers Sheryl Jo Bedal and Heather Smith and stage designer Neva Ann Williams, which complement the grand scale of the subject matter. They opt for a steampunk aesthetic: the ensuing mishmash of Victorian fashion and raw technology suits the play's chronological leapfrog.
The set's upper landing, which remains underused, gets bedecked with giant coglike wheels, creating a sense of dropping into George's active mind. Costumes, like the action, slide forward and back in time, but always speak beautifully to character — so that naïf Gladys, when she wishes to gain her father's attention, dresses up her sailor suit with scarlet fishnets; and Sabina, who displays a brutal pragmatism in the wake of battle, wears a cutaway jacket with vaguely military-style epaulets. In the final act, designer Steve Grumette's bloody lighting evokes their nightmarish reality more eloquently than swordplay.
Feltner brings charm to George's exasperating frailty, but Ring gives one of the strongest performances as Maggie. She emerges as the play's moral center, transitioning from hausfrau to suffragette to sage. Sabina, who regularly breaks the fourth wall to complain about the script and suggest skipping scenes, has the hardest work: She must seduce while holding the audience's sympathy. The role seems intended for a younger actress, but its muscularity requires skill and maturity. Sabata's stylized perkiness grates at times, but her quieter moments offer depth. By the end she has earned Maggie's respect, and ours.
Near the play's close, George asks, "Always beginning again, aren't we? How do we know it's going to be different this time around?" We don't — 70 years later, we're still facing the brinksmanship that unnerved Wilder, but he believed in the dignity of striving. With this effort, Ojai largely succeeds.
The Skin of Our Teeth, through Feb. 24, Ojai Art Center Theater, 113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai, 640-8797.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BNDent Functional and cute! I bought this for my mother's birthday and she loved it! I highly recommend it. April 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by river35 Great product! Great space saver! Love the designs and colors of this product. It fits perfectly on any counter and looks great set out. I like the cup size too. Have already bought 10 others for gifts! January 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ray2000 Lovely Set Great set of mugs. The colors are vivid and the design stands out against the rest of the mug. I use the mugs with my keurig every morning- they're big enough to hold 6oz of coffee with a bit of extra room for creamer. I used to keep the set on my kitchen counter next to the sink, but I noticed the stand was rusting where the metal bars were welded together. This did not cause any significant damage to the stand though. Overall, fantastic purchase. December 21, 2014

Cave Aged
Quick View
Grana PadanoRough handling makes tasty Italian cheese: from two milkings comes raw cow milk that is partially skimmed, cooked twice, and bathed in brine before aging for at least a year. All that attention makes a fragrant, sweet, and nutty cheese with a very firm texture. It's not Parmigiano - similar, but not exactly the same - but like its cousin, you can use it for grating, cooking, and as a fine table cheese. Read More

I don't know if this topic has showed up on these forums or not, but there is a lot of pokemon games out now and all of them have the same kind of storyline.
I've been thinking a lot about this, and I decided that maybe nintendo show try to make one really big pokemon game, but make it so it's two separate games, kind of like HG/SS or B/W. It would include all regions and all pokemon, and because it's on two separate games the "version exclusive" pokemon would still give people the fun of having to trade between the two.
version exclusive pokemon would be:
Legendary level difference would very like in HG/SS, so for one game the main legendary pokemon would be level 50 but the others would be between 60 and 85 so it would look like this for one of the games.
Mewtwo: lvl 50 -----------------Mew: lvl 70
Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres: lvl 60
Lugia: lvl 50 --------------------Ho-oh: lvl 70
Suicune, Raikou, and Entei: lvl 65
Celebi: lvl 75
Kyogre: lvl 50 -----------------Groudon: lvl 70
Rayquaza: lvl 85 (must have Kyogre and Groudon)
Regirock, Regice, and Registeel: lvl 60
Latios and Laitas : lvl 75
Jirachi: lvl 80
Deoxys: lvl 80
Dialga: lvl 50 ------------------------Palkia: lvl 70
Giratina: lvl 85 (must have Dialga and Palkia)
Rotom: lvl 60
Uxie, Mespirit, and Azelf: lvl 65
Heatran: lvl 75
Regigigas: lvl 80
and so on.
Just a thought anyways, I'm sure something like that would be insainly expensive
