Helpful Maps on News Articles...



I like how most news sites add a map for the location of the article, and I was excited to see that 400 South in Springville is finally opening, but I didn't know they changed this much in the area!

Bright flash turns night into day

I was driving home last night and suddenly around midnight it was as bright as day, I could see the mountains and everything, I send out some text messages and found that it was also seen in others parts of Utah. The Article is here : http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=8714738

I had to laugh at the comments though, it won't be as funny if you don't listen to the comedian Dane Cook :

@saralynn - I was in my kitchen cleaning a dish. I heard it, so I came out. Susan D. was in her
basement. Saralynn was in her bedroom, I was in the kitchen cleaning a dish, I was really cleaning, and I saw it so i came out. What? Shoes? No, no, forget shoes!

I just want you to know, if it helps in your investigation, I will testify in court that I was cleaning a dish, I will bring the dish as exhibit A.

Random Thoughts for the Day:


( from an email forward from Jack Bird )

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes - to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this thing I have-- ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet, on any given Friday or Saturday night, more kisses begin with Bud Light than with a Kay jewelry product.

Do people think before they decide which photo to publish?

My Dad just called me in to see the front page of the daily herald's website, of all the pictures they took at the soccer game they decided to use this one... in the words of my Dad "The caption could be Teammates try to hold back horny girl from attacking ball.."

A comment on the article was :

"I love BYU soccer, but the picture you used for this story looks like the New Mexico players were helping Kassidy C. Shumway deliver a beautiful bouncing 5lb soccer ball. The Herald has great photographers that shoot great pictures so why would you use a crazy picture like that."

Halloween Kiss

A cabbie picks up a Nun in San Francisco . She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.


She asks him why he is staring. He replies: 'I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.'


She answers, ' My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'


'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'


She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'


The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'


'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'


The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.


But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.


'My dear child,' said the nun, 'Why are you crying?'


'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess; I'm married and I'm Jewish.'


The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

Nobel Peace Prize

"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials."

Circle flies

A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather more support for his Health Plan. Once he discovers the cowboy is from President Bush's home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?"

Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies."

"Well Sir," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."

"Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, "Wait a minute, are you calling me a horse's ass?"



"No, Sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse's ass."

"That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies, though."
