What do you know about Pinedale, Wyoming?

Full question:

I was looking around on the internet, trying to find a relatively small town that's cold, and I found Pinedale. I've read some things about it on the internet and on websites, but since I don't live in the United States and have never been to Pinedale myself it's kind of hard to work off the little things that other people say. So I would really appreciate anyone's help, and anything you know about Pinedale would suffice.

Best answer:

Small little town in a very dispersely populated state. A lot of wide open space. But it sounds like you've been to Wyoming? It's has a western looking main street with a lot of cowboy bars and a tiny little building for a post office. It has a couple hotels (Best Western). It's not far at all of a drive to beautiful Jackson Hole, WY and the Teton Mountains.

What created the crater-like lake next to Half Moon Lake near Pinedale, Wyoming?

Full question:

See the Satellite Map of it: http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/#maxp=search&trf=0&mvt=h&lon=-109.775391&lat=42.931605&mag=5

Best answer:

I think that one is called Mud Lake, and it is a glacial feature, as are most of the lakes in the area, including Fremont lake. (If you look at the loose rock around it, you will notice it is polished smooth and round, which is evidence of glacial activity. If it were volcanic, there would be thick ash layers, flows, and other clear evidence in the bedrock of the area. A meteor impact large enough to make a lake that size would leave a shatter cone and most likely there would be layers of ejecta with many sharp shards of rock.)

What is the name of miniature "badlands" along Hwy. 189, between Big Piney and Daniel, WY?

Full question:

The only thing I can find on it, is a brief mention in guide books that it exists. See here for the satellite picture (you can zoom in and out): http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/#mvt=h&maxp=location&q2=Pinedale%20WY&q1=Big%20Piney%20WY&trf=0&lon=-110.133466&lat=42.738589&mag=2 Actually, this map shows it better than the one I originally posted: http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/#mvt=h&tp=1&tt=big%20piney&maxp=search&q2=Pinedale%20WY&q1=Big%20Piney%20WY&trf=0&lon=-110.118971&lat=42.732072&mag=5

Best answer:

Likewise I find only a brief description: "Sandstones and variegated shales of the Eocene Wasatch Formation crop out along the highway for the next 50 miles"[south of Daniel going towards Big Piney]. This is from a UW field trip guide: http://www.wsgs.uwyo.edu/pubs/PIC/PIC-29_80.pdf. A BLM map of mule deer range refers to the area just north of Cottonwood Creek as Soap Holes Basin, and the area further north towards Daniel as Grindstone Butte. Soap Holes Basin extends eastward to the Green River. The BLM describes Soap Holes Basin as remarkable for its saline soils, and further says "badland formations, which are few and relatively dispersed across the general area, typically are associated with fragile, highly erosive soils." This report has some maps: http://www.wy.blm.gov/nepa/pfodocs/merna3d/01ea.pdf Soap hole is another name for a saline spring, sometimes artesian. One of the nearby (northwest) areas is referred to as Ryegrass, and since ryegrass will grow on these saline soils this is probably why it is called that.

What do you think of this basic storyline?

Full question:

I'm writing a story. It consists of a girl named Christina who loses her memory. She wakes up in a morgue (different world, btw) and is taken to the grand duchess, who dies while she is there. The palace explodes, killing everyone ,except an extrodinary magic user named (last) Pinedale who protects herself and Christina, within a twenty mile radius. A few days later, the two are about twenty miles away in a pond and are attacked by a dragon. Pinedale turns the surrounding plants and rocks into people who attack the first dragon. Then Christina shouts something and passes out to the unpleasent sight of dragons literally melting. If you need to know anything else, ask and I'll add.

Best answer:

You don't really have a story. You have a bunch of random occurrences that happen to a character. A character who from your description doesn't have any real motivations to do what she is doing. That's not to say that it couldn't be a good story. You just need to go back and work around these characters...for example, why does the magician guy save her? Where did the dragon come from? What does the existance of the dragon have to do with your story? etc. etc.

How do I do these math questions? (I'm in eighth grade)?

Full question:

1. The cost of an aireline ticket is $289.50. Added to this cost is 5% GST, 7% PST, 1% airport improvement fee, and 3/4 % booking fee. What is the total cost of this ticket? 2. One year, the towns of Cedarville and Pinedale each had the same population of 1200. Over the next two years, the population of Cedarville increased by 8% one year and 7% the next year. Over the same two years, the population of Pinedale increased by 15%. a) Did the population of each town increase by the same amount? Explain. b) What was the new population of each town? Can you please include an explanation? Thanks. Thank you Claire. Sorry I realized I spelt "airline" wrong. Typo. Grr.

Best answer:

for the first one, you multiply the ticket by .05, .07, .01, and .75. these are the percentages in decimal form. you then add them to the original ticket cost and you will get $544.38. The 3/4% is a large percentage of the cost which makes the total cost a lot more. the sceond problem, you multiply 2100 x .08 for the first year. you get 168 which you add to 2100 to get the total population for year 1 as 2268. you then mulitply 2268 x .07 to get the second year, since the second year increased 7%. you get 158.76 which you add to 2268 to get 2427 ( that answer is rounded to the nearest whole number) for the pindale population... you muliply 2100 x .15 to get 315 which is added to 2100 to get an answer of 2415 population for year 1. (the .15 is the decimal of 15%) now mulitply 2415 by .15 again (since it increased by 15% both years) and you will get 362.25. add that to 2415 and you will get approximitly 2777. that is the popluation for year 2. a - the difference i population was 350 people. since the increase was slower in cedarville than in pinedale b - cedarville - 2427 pinedale - 2777

What do you think of this story for first paragraph?

Full question:

This is the first paragraph of my story, though I have wrote more. Please be honest! I stared out of the immaculate floor to ceiling glass windows of my bedroom, gazing at the artificially illuminated streets of night time New York. The Streets of Soho had been engulfed by the late night darkness and only the faint flickers of passing headlights disturbed the euphoric streets. I watched, half-heartedly, as the world whizzed by below me, seemingly without a care in the world. I was sitting on the cold, laminated flooring of my mom’s immaculate twentieth-floor apartment feeling like I had every care in the world, making up for everyone else’s lack. I stroked my finger against the icy glass, captured by the condensation that dripped carelessly in distorted paths, each drop significant yet so fragile and disregarded - Just like a human. Each so unique and distinct, yet still taken for granted. I’d taken my mom for granted and this was why tears were streaming down my raw cheeks, pink from my silent sobbing. Tomorrow morning, I would be boarding a plane for a one way journey to Pinedale. A cosy, picturesque town, with a mere population of 1,600 exists in western Wyoming, America. And this small town is where one of my two remaining family members is situated. The small rural town, that is blessed by the luxury of three, vast mountain ranges is home to my distant, beloved father, Harry. For the next year - or longer, as my gut instinct told me - Harry had kindly agreed to accommodate me and the decision had been like a punch in the gut - Not that I’d ever admit to it. My mom still didn’t know of this discussion between Harry and me. She still thought both of us were staying in New York and I’d been to feebleto discuss my plans. I adored my mother, Daphne, the closest person in my life. A best friend first, a mother second - always. But best friends, I told myself, make sacrifices for each other. And this was exactly what I was doing. My mom had slowly, but expertly clawed her way to the to of the ladder, and now had gained enough respect and popularity to be counted amongst the most talented chef’s in New York. It was this meritorious title that had unlocked the door to the biggest opportunity my mom had ever been offered and I was not going to mess this up for her. My mom had always wanted to travel, to see the world, to experience cultures and festivals that a person couldn’t even conjure up in their most beautiful dreams. My mom had opened the door to her ambitions seventeen years ago. I had slammed it shut as soon as she’d merely twisted the handle. My birth had halted my mothers dreams and since then they had been dangling in front of her, hanging from a fine thread, so easily destroyed. Best friends do not leave. This was a rule my mom taught me. It seemed to counteract the sacrifice rule. Thank you (: & I'm 15. & if possible, could you say which bits you thought were repeatitive? Thanks :] x

Best answer:

Ok, I'll tell you what I think of it step by step through reading :D First impression, hmm, let me see this should be an easy way to get 2 points.. OMG is that really a paragraph? You know, you can make a paragraph however long you want it, BUT a writer should make a paragraph however long the reader would want it ;) When a reader picks up a book, you want to be able to pull them in. Even Dickens, notorious for outlandishly long paragraphs starts off with short ones. For further advice on this, please check out this answer I done on starting a book. It's long so better get out the coffee mugs: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Avi.UMXfVW.FepdSk6SX2MchBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20090311113631AApqDEu&show=7#profile-info-yYmHr93Gaa Ok, plowing my way through your story again... I can tell you're talented at writing: 'the world whizzed by below me' is a nice use of alliteration and conveys a strong sence of movement, BUT my dear, you are abusing your talents! Too many metaphors can drown the reality of your story. Let your readers BREATHE. :P What I mean by that absurd remark is USE SHORT SENTENCES AS WELL! Short sentences can be just as beautiful as long when combined together. They give dramatic effect. 'The Streets of Soho ' Streets shouldn't be capital... Structure is the major thing to brush up here, because the story seems amazing so far! Observe your sentence staters: 'I stared' 'I watched' 'I was sitting' 'I watched' ... Are you understanding me a bit? I hope I'm not being offenisive, because when you pour your heart into what you write it's hard to accept negative comments. You should start sentences in different ways, you know jumble the syntax a little. Observe: '' I watched, half-heartedly...' can be... "Half-heartedly, I watched...' This adds some variation in your tone. distorted paths, each drop significant yet so fragile and disregarded - Just like a human. I love this sentence! ' a mere population of 1,600 ' this is too specific. What did your character sit down and count everyone? Say a mere population barely over a thousand... Another thing, who are you aiming this to? Teenagers wouldn't like 'beloved father', it sounds to adultish, too stone and snooty. What's wrong with 'beloved dad?' :s Ok, fine sigh at me then :D By the 'For the next year - or longer' everything improves. Your character seems real to me then because you start to write as they think not as it would look nice on paper. 'And this was exactly what I was doing. ' Ah, I see you already know about the short sentence next to lots of long ones thing, but you know, you should have done it from the start. Extending on that point, how about seperating a select short sentences into seperate paragraphs? You know, to really kick the reader. :p OK, finished reading and wow, you've got talent. BUT here's something important to consider: the most important line in your book is the first line and the last line. Make your fist line something different, don;t start off describing straight away... How about putting the line: 'Best friends do not leave. This was a rule my mom taught me.' as the first line and then at the end reflecting on it.. 'Best friends do not leave. This was a rule my mom taught me... It seemed to counteract the sacrifice rule.' Repution's good too you know. Hope this helped and good luck, though by the looks of it you won't be needing it

looking for obituary or newspaper article from wyoming between 1987 and 1992?

Full question:

My half sister died in a fire before I was born. She lived in Wyoming (Pinedale, i think) her name was Angela and i believe she was about six when she died. The fire was apparently caused by a landlord not installing smoke alarms properly. I don't know what her last name was and I don't want to ask my mother because anything to do with my father is a sensitive topic...but I'm trying to connect to my siblings and past and I would really like to find a newspaper or obituary to give me some insight! It happened before I was born, but my father went to visit her grave after my mother and he were married..so I'm guessing it had to have been between 1987 and 1992 or the early 90's. I've looked through newspaper articles and googled it the best I know how...I really can't pay for ancestry search engines and such and I don't know her last name. Please help!

Best answer:

First, her surname name would probably be the same as your father's. Try that first. Here is a link to Google News Archives. They have a huge collection of newspapers http://www.google.com/archivesearch Call the Pinedale Public Library. Libraries usually have a person who does research, sometimes for a small fee. They will probably ask you to provide an email address or mailing address and will send you any information they can find. Be patient, they do the research in their spare time and it may take weeks or months. Check Find A Grave. Start with your father's last name. You may have to look through all the cemeteries in Pinedale but there is a chance you'll find a grave. If you do, contact the cemetery or the funeral home about any records or obituary they might have. http://www.findagrave.com/

Something i wrote, any good?

Full question:

1 “Where are we going?” I asked my mom as she pulled out of the driveway of our little Arizona house and started down the barren streets. It was silent, except for the music playing from my headphones that now lay on the ground. “Away. Callyn, we are leaving this sad excuse for a town.” Her voice shook, and I knew she had been crying. Even though my mother was the bravest woman I knew, I wasn't’t surprised she was having trouble controlling her tears. I closed my eyes and memories over took my mind, with the ferocity of exploding light bulbs. It was four weeks before, the week of my moms birthday. I remembered picking the phone up and hearing the cold voice of a man, asking for my mom. He was calling to tell us that there was a body found in a fire at Fort Huachuca, the army base in Arizona. Several men died, most bodies burned beyond recognition. Except for one, only one man wore a dog tag that melted into the charred skin. Ember Hawk, they said. My brother had died in a measly kitchen fire, even after all of that preparation they had supplied him with. He knew how to survive a war, but not even all of the training in the world could keep his soul from being collected when his time came. I heard a clinking sound and realized I was unconsciously playing with the dog tags he had given me when I turned 8. It was a matching set, mine and his. Looking at the shiny silver chain I immediately knew where we were heading. “4265 Raleigh Drive, Pinedale, Wyoming.” I said softly as the car jerked to an abrupt halt before returning to its original pace. “Where did you learn that?” My mothers voice was hard. This was the one voice I had learned to be careful about when I was little. When I heard her talk this way I learned this was the time when I should really be afraid of my mom. I decided to tell the truth. “I-I found a box in your room. It looked like a jewelry box, and I was looking for my earrings, but when I opened it, I found…. Letters. Hundreds of them. I somehow remember that was the address labeled on each and every one.” My voice became inaudible. I remembered tearing open letter after letter, pouring over them for weeks. None of them had been signed, but each contained a dried flower, with names that didn’t exist. Moonlace, Winterbloom, Taraflower, that kind of thing. They were prettier than anything I had ever seen in my life, and I remembered spending hours imagining my mother walk down the shore with flowers in her hair, all traces of worry disappearing as she laughed. Sometimes a man would appear in my fantasies, but i had always removed him, because i knew that the love letters she had found had to be fake. “Did you read them?” “Hmmm?” I asked absently, still lost in thought. “The letters?” She nodded once at me. “No.” I lied. She released a breath I didn’t know she was holding and continued to drive in a steely silence. I decided to stop asking questions and curled up uncomfortably in the sticky leather of the seat. I wondered for the first time who lived at the address shown on the envelopes. My mom would have most likely put down a relatives address or something. I had never met any of my family or left the state. Mom had always been nervous about that kind of thing. I stifled a yawn and it dawned on me that I was having trouble keeping my eyelids open, and every time I blinked it took longer and longer to open them up again. My fatigue won over, and I found myself sleeping deeply. THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT!!!!!! I just wasnt sure it was intresting...... i really want this writing piece to be good because i really love the plot line, but it is supposed to be kind of slow in the begginning. Please tell me what you HONESTLY think,and any tips would be great :)

Who committed the crime and what was the clue?

Full question:

Sheriff Dave Dark stared down at the body of Frank Cullen, being careful of where he stepped. He didn’t want to mess up the crime scene. He also didn’t want to get any more mud from the creek bank on his brand new boots. That Cullen had been shot in the head was obvious. Who had done it was not. The most likely suspects were Cullen’s three fishing buddies -- Greg Walsh, Carlos Melendez, and Sam Pelgoni. The men had rented the little cabin just up the hill from the creek for the weekend. Dark climbed back to the cabin where Deputy Spencer was holding the three men for questioning. He took a few steps inside and stopped, looking sheepishly at the muddy tracks he’d left on the clean wood floor. He also noticed he was alone in the cabin. “Spencer?” he shouted. “Sorry, sir,” his deputy said. He was out of breath from running up to the doorway. “I thought we’d all wait out here for you.” Dark followed Spencer to a picnic table sitting beneath a small stand of aspen. He stood at one end and studied the three men – Walsh and Pelgoni on one bench, Melendez on the other. “All right. let’s hear about everyone’s whereabouts at the time of the murder. You first, Mr Walsh.”Greg Walsh fingered his red goatee. “I don’t know where I was when Frank was shot.” “I thought you said you heard the shot,” Spencer said from behind Dark’s shoulder. “I heard a shot. Don’t know if it was the shot. It’s hunting season, so you do hear the occasional shot.” Dark scowled. “Where were you when you heard this one?” “Upstream.” Walsh pointed. “Around the bend. I thought a hunter may have gotten too close to our camp. I didn’t see nothing until I got closer. When I saw Frank … I started up to the cabin, spotted Carlos getting out of his truck, and yelled for him to call 911. Then I ran back – to, uh, stay by Frank.” The sheriff cocked an eye at Carlos Melendez. “Where had you been?” “In town – getting grub and beer. I ran into the cabin to make the call and found Sam already taking care of it.” “I guess I was the first one on the scene,” Pelgoni explained. “I was fishing down the other way when I heard what sounded like a gunshot. I turned and saw Frank falling. I hurried over to his side, saw the wound, and –“ He ran a hand through his grey-streaked hair. “I figured I’d better call for help fast.” “Any of you got any idea who’d want to kill Cullen?” “Nope,” Pelgoni said. “Can’t understand it. He was a great guy.” “Sure was,” Walsh agreed. “It’s gotta be some sort of freak accident. Someone was out hunting and shot Frank by mistake. “Hmm.” Dark chewed at the corner of his moustache. “How about you, Mr Melendez? What do you think?” Melendez flushed, glanced at the other two fishermen, then looked away. “I think its tied in with that bank robbery in Pinedale the other day.” “Bank robbery –“ Pelgoni began. Dark held up a hand. “Quiet!” He swung back on the dark-haired man. “Go on.” "Well, early this morning – around sunrise, I guess – I got up to use the can and saw Frank pacing around outside like a crazy man. I went out and asked him what was wrong, and he – he started blubbering like a baby. Said he’d done a terrible thing. That he and another guy had knocked off the bank yesterday afternoon before we all met here, and that a customer in the bank had got hurt.” “Did he say who his partner was? Deputy Spencer asked. “No. But I think I had him convinced he should go to the cops.” Sheriff Dark stared at Melendez long and hard, then at the other two men. “You fellows all arrived separately yesterday?” “Yeah’” Pelgoni said. “And I had nothing to do with any bank stick-up.” “Me either,” Walsh said. He glared at Melendez. “You sure you didn’t dream this up in the morning sun?” Melendez stuck out his jaw. “I’m telling the truth. And Frank’s getting shot proves it. Someone didn’t want him to talk.” Everyone looked at Sheriff Dark who shrugged. “I don’t know what the motive was, Mr Melendez. But I know the killer. There’s one clue that gives him away.”

Best answer:

based on the story, the only one we can be sure was right next to the body and was in the cabin was Pelgoni according to his story. However the Sheriff comments on tracking mud from where the body was into the nice clean cabin floor. Had Pelgoni gone to the body as stated, then ran in to make the call, where he was found inside the cabin by Melendez, the floor would not have been clean. So Pelgonis' story doesnt add up
