Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
One of the people who make a difference at Choclatique
Happy birthday, Vic! Victor is our utility infield chocolatier. He's worked with Choclatique for two years. He started as an assistant, but soon took over the making of all our sugared products like brittles and Pralinated Nuts and Chocolate Nibs. Vic has perfected the art of making my great grandfather's famous Peanut-packed Peanut Brittle, Chocolate Covered Peanut Brittle, and my grandmother's Chocolate Almond Butter Toffee. He also makes the other varieties of crunch nut brittles.
But Vic's talent doesn't stop there. He is responsible for giving all of our Chicks their unique personalities. Each Chick is hand-decorated and Vic has the steady hand to add the eyes and beaks to each bird. Every Chick is a miniature masterpiece. Decorating a molded piece of Choclatique chocolate starts by painting molds with the desired design inside-out and up-side down. It takes a steady hand and a lot of patience. When you look at the detail, you have to admire how much goes into just a single Chocolate Chick.
In Vic's non-working hours he coaches his son, Victor Jr. III's, football team in West Los Angeles. He also tries to work out when he's got the chance and build model cars with his son.
Vic was one of our top tasters when we were developing the recipes for Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Desserts. If you're interested in learning more about some of Vic's favorite desserts buy the gift of Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Desserts. It is a great holiday gift and most importantly, the recipes make luscious tasting desserts perfect the first and every time. It is a foolproof guide to making all of your favorite desserts and improving your sweet disposition and those all around you.

As part of American Legion Post 42, nine Vets took part in three color guard ceremonies for Memorial Day. One was in Ferron, one in Molen, a small community southeast of Ferron where few still live but there is still a good sized cemetery with Veteran Graves, and one in Castle Dale.
The attendance at the first two was very good, many citizens and family members of the fallen attended as well as many visitors from out of the area. The attendance in Molen was great, it always is. Year after year the surviving families of those people who lived and died from Molen return to show that they never forget their dead. A big crowd comes each year andtakes care of those isolated graves.
The Memorial service is not for the living but for the dead who gave all or part of their lives for our country.
A prayer was read by the Post Chaplain the rededication of the ground as hallowed, and acknowledges the service that is being remembered. Then a 21 gun salute is fired and Taps are blown honoring these men and women who have sacrificed.
The Veterans also performed a ceremony in Castle Dale.

Permanent Decertification Is Certifiable
Graphic Comments
December 20 2012 10:12AM
The momentum is growing. Every day the calls to decertify or otherwise disband the NHLPA are growing. And I don't mean from NHL players.
No, hockey fans and media alike are now so fed up with what passes for collective bargaining in the NHL that they want to blow up the entire system. We're not talking just decertifying for the purposes of forcing the NHL to actually make a deal under threat of anti-trust lawsuits, i.e. what the NHL is alleging and what the NHLPA surely intends to do.
No, there are now calls to permanently abolish the NHLPA and in so doing completely free up all restrictions to player movement, including the NHL draft.
Personally, I'm not so sure this is a great idea...
The world of international soccer is held up as an example of the halcyon days to come after we get rid of the NHLPA. You know, the system put together by those fine, upstanding gentlemen at FIFA. At least in one respect the transition from the NHL won't be too drastic.:
Under the international soccer transfer system, there are few restrictions on player movement when they are not under contract. Essentially everyone is a free agent at the end of any contract. Heck, they're actually free agents as soon as they have six months or less remaining on their contract; they can make a deal with a new team at that point, they just can't join them until their current contract is over and the transfer window opens. (Special thanks to our own Patrick Johnson for helping me understand the arcane world of the FIFA transfer system.)
Can you imagine Sidney Crosby signing a new contract to move to the Flyers while still having six months to play out on a contract with the Penguins?
Which isn't say that an NHL without player contracting restrictions would necessarily result in rules similar to those FIFA has developed in light of various challenges to its transfer system over the years. But conceptually, the results would be similar: no entry draft to assign or otherwise hold "rights" to sign players (no restriction on signing a contract at a younger age, for that matter).
But what's the draw in this type of system?
Sure, for players the benefits look obvious. But looks can be deceiving. We've seen how even mediocre players have gotten paid as soon as they hit free agency in the NHL's restrictive system. It's easy to assume that this trend would just be amplified under universal free agency.
I'm sure the elite players would substantially increase in value as free agents under a cap-less system. As Tyler Dellow laid out in a couple of recent posts, the current cap structure under the previous CBA has limited the salary growth of elite players, as compared to everyone else:
I've argued before that the best players did really poorly in the 2005 CBA, in that there was fantastic salary growth for lesser paid players, while the guys at the top saw marginal increases. Another way of expressing that is to look at how much the salaries have grown for the highest paid players in the game since 2000-01 – it comes out to about a 1.2% annualized growth in salaries. League revenues have grown by something like 7.5% per year. The people who have been rewarded by the growth in hockey since 2000-01 with a bigger piece of the pie each year aren't the guys who bring people to the rink and lift them out of their seats; they're the guys who fill out the rosters in the NHL's cartel and the guys who run the cartel.
So while I'm sure blowing up the cap system would loose the fetters holding back top end salaries, I'm not so sure the bulk of the NHLPA would fare as well. Which probably explains why the idea of decertification is only brought up as a point of leverage in collective bargaining situations. The Players' Association actually benefits the bulk of its members. In a completely free market for players, those that are easily replaceable and/or interchangeable wouldn't have the leverage to secure guaranteed contracts or other favourable contract provisions when negotiating as individuals. It is actually the limits on supply every free agency period that serve to drive up the price. Textbook economics.
paraphrase completely mangle Benjamin Franklin, those who would give up security in exchange for free agency, might get what they ask for:
Ok, so for the bulk of NHL players, maybe this decertification thing isn't such a great idea compared to the status quo.
But who cares about the players? Even the losers under this scenario would still be winners in the overall scheme of things: getting payed hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to play a game. Why are more and more NHL media and fans so apparently keen on blowing it all up?
Well, one of reasons cited as a benefit of this type of system is a lack of lockouts. Sure enough, that is true. There has never, to my knowledge, been a lockout or strike in European soccer. Without a collective agreement, the relationship between NHL teams and their players would no longer be governed by labour laws, and instead fall under anti-trust laws in the U.S. and competetion laws in Canada. Under anti-trust laws, any collective act, such as a lockout or any rule openly or secretly restricting player's contract rights would open the door to charges of collusion and be liable for triple damages under US anti-trust legislation. So, by definition, no CBA, no lockouts.
Can't argue with that. But what I can argue with is everything else that would come with this.
As noted above, universal free agency would be great for the elite players. But lets think about what that actually means. Teams with the ability to commit to sky-high, multi-year contracts would accumulate the elite players. Small market teams that couldn't compete would either wind up with cast-offs and retreads, or would go broke trying to keep up. Over time the NHL would evolve one of two ways:
- A two-tier league of 8-12 high payroll, talent-heavy teams in a league rounded out with a bunch of low payroll also-rans, that occasionally got lucky with a young player or two that might have been overlooked or misjudged by scouts.
- A severely contracted league because small market teams that currently have trouble outdrawing professional bowling events would fare even worse as they lose their top talent, and eventually fold.
Speaking of bowling, I don't know why Mike Babcock's comments were such a big deal. Is it that hard to believe bowling could be more popular in parts of the US? I mean, when they have a tough split to make, it's actually MORE exciting:
But back to the topic at hand. I don't know about you, but I'm not especially keen on Option 1, which is really the most likely. There seem to be no shortage of
suckers, er, I mean stand-up business men, um, let's just go with rich guys that want to own sports teams. So while there might be some contraction, it would likely not be too drastic. This is fine with me, by the way. I've been a proponent of shedding 5-6 teams for a long time simply for the fact it would greatly improve the on-ice product.
The issue I have, however, is that the remaining teams would likely be very uneven in terms of talent level. If we point to European soccer as an example of labour peace and freedom of player movement, we should also notice that in every country there are a handful of teams at the top of the league tables each and every year.
Sure, you might get the occasional interloper breaking in to the top of the table for a season or two, or a new owner that comes in and is willing to buy his way there, but these are rare occasions. I'm really not interested in that type of league structure, to be honest.
Yes, yes, I understand that the fans of the lesser teams and lower tiers of European soccer are fervent and loyal, often even more so than NHL fans, apparently. But I don't care. To adapt NHL fans to that kind of league structure would take years. It requires a shift away from the existing North American sports culture, to say nothing of the need to change the structure of the league itself.
I don't think it's as simple as holding up European soccer as the shining example of how leagues consisting of stratified leagues, both through tiered divisional structures and stratification within the tiers themselves, can be wildly popular. Sure, there's no argument that every local soccer team in Europe has fervent supporters. But there's so many more differences in how competition is structured that it would take major upheaval, and years and years to implement in North America.
It's clearly a Utopian fantasy to expect that we could have open playoff for the Stanley Cup running concurrently with a league standings race for the Presidents' Trophy, which would be the equivalent of the FA Cup and the Premiership in the English Premier League, any time soon.
(On the bright side, if that ever happens, perhaps Canucks fans can finally take some pride in consecutive Presidents' Trophy wins. No, probably not. Sigh.)
But that's really what it boils down to for me: the structure of the competition. I prefer sports where teams have a fair shot based on their skill in assembling the team, combined with the skill displayed by the players on the field of play. I don't particularly appreciate the imbalance created by unequal resources.
I also don't appreciate excessive player movement. I used to follow baseball. I gave up on it not because of the World Series lost to a strike, but because of the player turnover. It's hard to maintain loyalty to a team when the players continually change from year to year.
Even though the Canucks would likely have the resources to be one of the handful of contending teams in a stratified league, I don't want the NHL to go there just based on principle. Having the same teams vying of the league championship for decades doesn't appeal to me. And if, God forbid, they weren't in the top tier, I don't think I could get that excited about a top 10 finish or for the occasional moral victory over a top flight team.
No need for me to worry, though. None of this will never come to pass. But if we're dreaming up Utopian scenarios anyway, I think I would actually prefer going the other way toward increased competition at the expense of player movement. Look at the Olympics, where player affiliation is (mostly) determined by country of birth and the intent is ostensibly to ensure a level playing field to maximize competition. So, if we're going to take the structure of an international sporting organization as a model, I guess I prefer the IOC over FIFA:
But seriously, I think I have to *shudder* agree with a Hawks fan in all this:

I love that 10 team scenario you layed out. why should my "fan dollars" go towards propping up southern american cities that dont really care about the sport and then just end up beating my team in the end. that drives me crazy. is it really fair that due to revenue sharing, the fans in vancouver helped pay the salary of BC product Scott Niedermayer who tjen.beat the Canucks in 2007 en rlute to winming the Stanley Cup for Anaheim fans who dont even sell out the bldg for $20 a ticket?!?!
ALSO, it would open the door for a 'premier league' in which hockey cities from all over the world could compete. imagine Vancouver vs Moscow on saturday night, while Toronto is in Stockholm and the Canadiens are hosting Prague... sounds amazing!
Won't lie to you, the culture of 5-7 elite teams and 20 odd bottom feeders with mediocre talent isn't an alien culture to NHL fans born before the year 2000.
The original 6 had the habs, leafs, wings and hawks. 70's were the habs, bruins, flyers, hawks and islanders. 80's Oilers, islanders, habs, flyers. 90's were the wings, avs, devils, flyers.
One can argue some others belong there, but before the cap, the nhl was a league of dynasties and duds, with a few rich middlers, like the bruins or the rangers.
I do agree the cap has helped parity, but like Mr. Dellow has said, it's deflated talent value. I'd love to see a star player cap exemption in the NHL, allowing the more successful clubs to pay superstars what they're worth while maintaining the parity a cap brings.

@Graphic Comments
European soccer is a different beast, however, in the sense that there are several top leagues that have the top teams, and the top talent.
Were soccer organized like the nhl, it would be the UEFA cup spread over a season. The talent in soccer is shared by the top 8-10 clubs in europe, shared by the top 5 or so leagues. You'd see the england division, the france division, the italy division, the spain division, the german division and so forth. Some divisions may contain many strong teams, some may only have one that runs roughshod over second tier talent and gets a playoff berth.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U's situation in the premiership would be like putting Philly, Pitsburgh and New Jersey of the atlantic division in the AHL. They'd kill the other teams. Put them against Spain and Germany's best clubs, different story.
In the last 40 years, the Habs, the Bruins, the Rangers, the Flyers and the Blackhawks have all been consistently successful teams with very few low ebbs, and when there were those teams came roaring back. They have almost always boasted top tier talent and have been playoff teams. These clubs, especially the canadiens, are the Man U's of the NHL.
The real issue, the one the player's raised early but has kind of fallen to the wayside, is revenue sharing. The NFL really does make a strong argument for cap plus heavy sharing equals parity.
Certainly having Tom Brady and Bill Belichuk together can put a team over the top into dynasty territory, but the cluster*explitive* that is the NFC is evidence that any given sunday has become more true these days.
Unfortunately, the reality of the NHL is not that of American football. They still focus too much on the gate and the owners can't see past their own bottomline to do what's good for the health of the game .

For whatever reason the Nations have decided to have 2 sets of comment threads for this post? The same post exist on Numbers, with another set of commenters. Regardless the thread here is more interesting, so I'll dive in.
Put me down for me three - A proper revenue sharing model is what is needed. Putting the the NHL product (the game) ahead of the interests of vested parties, makes revenue sharing an excellent solution, that solves a lot of problems. In my estimation, revenue sharing is the primary reason that the NFL has become the most successful sports league in North America, and probably the world. In short, this league rewards it's fans with a great product where every fan believes that their team has a chance to win.

I needed to get a silencer with a spark arrestor in order to ride on state trails. Sounds fantastic and feels like some more low end power. Looks much better than OEM too.
It's built well for the trail and the track. Doesn't dent easily or scratch either.
Good USFD Approved exhaust!
Installation was easy. Purchased because factory silencer did not have a spark arrester. This one is US forestry approved. I did not notice any change in performance.
Bought my beginner son a YZ85. After getting it home found I went to repack the silencer and found that it was completely trashed inside and falling apart. Got the turbine core 2 and swapped it in a few minutes. Sounds and runs great. Don't forget to check if you need a new exhaust manifold (the rubber adaptor between pipe and silencer. Mine was cracked and the silencer doesn't come with it. Motosport has the OEM one in stock. Look under OEM parts.
Motosport is probably one of the best companies I have ever dealt with their shipping is outstanding customer service is outstanding I even returned a piece and they shipped me the new one overnight before they received the old one can't ask for better than that. The FMF full exhaust for a Honda 110 is unbelievable this is a must for your upgrade
Real happy with my FMF Turbinecore. A little deeper sound than my prior modified silencer. Like that it has a built in spark arrestor without the screen in it. Sounds great and no noticeable loss in power
Wasn't sure about getting a SA muffler because I didn't want to loose horsepower but since I'm riding National Forrest some more I wanted to be legal. We'll with a couple of rides on this can hooked up to the Gnarley pipe I'm not disappointed. With 6 bikes to keep up with ( the whole family rides) I get all of my stuff from Motosport.com and am always happy with the great service.
Simplistic perfection with a huge side of performance.
Fit was perfect. Put this on a new Yamaha YZ250 and it went on with ease. A touch quieter that stock silencer with similar weight. A little bit deeper tone that brings lots of compliments. Thicker power throughout the rpm range. Adds to the X's already deep top end. Going to pick a second one up for my 2014 YZ250 soon.
just this pipe alone makes a world of a difference on my KTM 200 xcw! loves to rev, hits the power band so much quicker, deeper sound! love this pipe, inexpensive.
We needed a spark arrested silencer for our KX 85 to ride in the desert. I have other FMF products which have been excellent. This appears to be no different. Simple precise assembly. My son can't tell if the power has improved but he likes the "deeper" sound of the exhaust note.
Silencer arrived one day early. Installation was a breeze.
Looking good , sounding good ,performance gains and keeping me legal.
Works great, looks great, installed perfectly. I bought this for my first endure which required a spark arrestor and a sound check. I came in at only 85db, well under the max. I also felt overall power improvement. Not to mention is sounds great!
Didn't affect the jetting at all. Didn't lose any power by installing the Spark Arrestor Turbine Core. Silencer is pretty sturdy, it stayed on even with bolts loose and/or missing after a pretty long trail ride.
I ordered this silencer for what I thought was a 2008 KTM 300 XC. When the silencer arrived it would not fit. After a closer look at my bike, it was found that the top end was 2013. I had bought the bike used and the previous owner had told me this, but in my stupidity, I purchased the silencer for a 2008. I had neglected that my bike is a Frankenstein. Needless to say MotoSport was very helpful and promptly shipped the correct part. This all transpired within a week. I have purchased form MotoSport in the past with great results and will continue... Thanks MotoSport!
Great silencer with good clean sound and noticeable power gain. Beef it up!
Put it on a 08 KTM 250xcw.
Fit like a glove, Looks great, MADE IN THE USA!!!!
Only negative thing is that the little rubber spacer/washer things that go in where you put the bolts through to mount it are not included!! 4 bucks each from the OEM breakdown, now I'm another 16 bucks into it (tried to use the old ones on the new pipe and the rubber cracked) for these things and a few days later getting it installed correctly...For the time I was waiting, I used a rubber washer on each side which got me by.
I realize not many aftermarket pipes come with it, but I'd seriously rather pay another 10 bucks extra for the pipe and get them with the pipe instead of having to order it separate and wait another week.
-Turbinecore 2 uses the exclusive "Turbine Dampening System". This top-notch product has well earned its U.S. Forest legal status. The straight through design of the spark arrestor canister and the performance flow stainless steel end cap ensures strength, durability and most importantly, track and trail proven unrestricted power. The Turbinecore 2 is the #1 spark arrestor in the world.
-The Powercore 2 is the measure which others aim for. With its lightweight extruded aluminum oval canister mated to a perforated core, this silencer is above the competition. The Powercore 2 silencer provides a strong performance edge for any 2-stroke machine and the performance flow end cap and front stinger are stainless steel for unbeatable durability and an unmatched look.

SUU was dealt a blow during warm-ups as Rochelle Bernier suffered an injury that kept her out of the meet. The junior from Edmonton, Alberta had been slated to compete in three of the four events.
"I'm so proud of our girls tonight and how they came out and competed," head coach Scott Bauman said. "Our underclassmen did a great job of filling our lineups after we had to pull Rocky (Bernier). We still haven't reached our potential this season and I see us continuing getting better and better as the year goes on."
The Thunderbirds opened on vault and went with a lineup of only five gymnasts, but the quintet came up big, scoring Southern Utah's highest team score of the night with a 48.900. Freshman Memory Shettles led the way with a career-best 9.875, taking the individual title, and was followed by Jamie Armijo with a season-best 9.825. Freshmen Danielle Ramirez and Virginia Brownsell scored matching 9.750's and Brittney Jensen rounded out the team score with a 9.700.
Boise State began the evening on bars, building more than a three-tenths lead with a 49.250 on the event with Kelsey Black and Diana Mejia on top for the Broncos with 9.900's.
Senior Alyssa Click tied the mark with her own 9.900 routine as individual titles continued to accumulate for the T-Birds. Her score was part of Southern Utah's season-best 48.875 on the event as Armijo and Ramirez followed with two 9.800's. Armijo's score was her fourth consecutive routine on bars that scored a 9.800 this season and Ramirez returned to the event after a two-week hiatus. Freshmen Tyly Bozzuto and Sydney Townsend wrapped up Southern Utah's total with a 9.725 and 9.650, respectively.
Boise State's lead grew following the second rotation as the Broncos scored a 48.975 on vault, extending the margin to just under five-tenths, 98.225 to SUU's 97.775.
Southern Utah made up the difference and more during the third rotation as the Thunderbirds tallied another season-best 48.850 on beam while Boise had its struggles on floor, scoring a 48.300. SUU started strong on the event as Natalie Trejo shook off a pair of falls on beam over the past two weeks to score a season-best 9.800. Freshmen Stacie Webb and Townsend followed with a 9.775 and 9.650, respectively.
Shettles then took to the beam and continued her solid form with a career-best 9.850 to take her second individual title during the competition. The lineup primed Click for high numbers, but a rare fall during her routine put pressure on Bozzuto as the final competitor. The first-year gymnast delivered with a 9.775, narrowly missing her career best of a 9.800.
BSU's 48.300 came by way of a fall and three neutral deductions as a trio of gymnasts stepped out. The shift put the Thunderbirds up one-tenth, 146.625-146.525.
Southern Utah's floor team punctuated the victory with a 48.825 on the event, led by Trejo's 9.850 that gave the sophomore the individual title. Ana Jaworski finished second for the T-Birds with a 9.800 and was followed by Shettles and Carly Sigler with a pair of 9.750's. Bozzuto recorded the final mark that counted towards the team score with a 9.675.
Boise State finished the night on beam with a 48.725, giving Southern Utah the 195.450-195.250 victory. BSU's Kelsey Morris earned the all-around title with a 38.400 as the only gymnast on the night competing on all four events.
Southern Utah will return to action next weekend, traveling to the University of Denver on Saturday night for a tri-meet with Denver and North Carolina State.

Greg! That is your most informative post ever! We are just going to start sending you regular checks! Thanks!
Just thought I'd update. I found 3 trailers. 2 48's and a 45'er. 45'er is the only one with FRP walls (Fiberglass Reinforced Plywood) But, the others are in good shape and I can easily see them being very usable.
Basically, they're CHEAP! All good tires, decent brakes and only 1 may have stuck brakes but he said he would take care of that for me. 2 of the trailers have only been retired 6 months. $3,500 for all 3!!! And he'll move them all for me. It's a guy that my best friend works for.. he owns 2 of them and HIS best friend owns the other. Already talked about a deal to pay so much down and pay more at the end of the season. (If I don't pay cash up front)
I have a chance to do this. I have 7 possible drop spots in 3 different towns with the furthest being 20 min's away!
Going to try and get 2 built for this season.... if I have resources and time.. and help I will try the third one as well.
I pretty much have no choice so I'm gonna move forward if I can.
I'll make a new thread when I get them purchased and dropped.

"Great looking shoe, so sad that I had to return it. While Steve Madden has typically been true to size in my experience, this shoe was too narrow and too tight. Bummer."

So What...
"If these babies will give me a blister after wearing them...they are WELL WORTH IT!These are a MUST have for the Spring/Fall months. I bought them in the "Teal" colorway, and the color is just...WOW! So vibrant and beautiful. It's much more of a jewel-tone than the photo show. Even my phone camera didn't pick up the brilliant hue! It really is a stunner.The suede is a great quality, so I'm expecting that they will break in pretty easily, and may even be somewhat comfy. I've been wearing them around my house to try and make the process a bit easier, but honestly you can't expect much in the way of comfort with a 4" heel, so I won't hold my breath.Still I will definitely be wearing these beauties OUT...."

Oh Beautiful Pain!
"I had been looking for a beautiful pair of burgundy heels, and to tell you the truth I am not a fan of pointed toe shoes but I fell in love with these at the store. I wore them for a short outing with my friend (a few hours) where I was sitting for most of the time but, like a previous poster, my feet were throbbing by the time I got home.I'm casually wearing these around the house, and they do seem to be stretching out and getting more comfortable. Unfortunately they still pinch my toes a little and the dramatic heel can be a bit much for me. These are beautiful shoes, but definitely try these on in the store before you buy and stretch them out a bit before a work day or party. Also, some might like to know that they are more of a washed out burgundy than the picture on the site (my pictures were not edited) but I had no idea of this and still love the color I got."

The Emery County Business Chamber met in their first Lunch and Learn of 2012 on Jan. 18 at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale. Chamber President Tyler Jeffs welcomed everyone to the meeting. He introduced Darcey and Gregg Powell as the local business spotlight for the luncheon. Darcey said she is known far and wide as the caramel apple lady. The idea for the business came about when they were sampling similar products that came from Las Vegas. One of her kids said, you could open this kind of business in Emery County. So Darcey thought it over for quite awhile and called everyone and got recipes for caramel. She started making caramel apples and her first public venture was at the Emery County fair. The caramel got hot and ran off the apples, but by the end of the day they were all gone, so Darcey thought, 'I'm onto something here.'
Since that first outing for the Forbidden Fruit, she has perfected her caramel apple product and added many new and different products as well. She makes caramel apples in all designs. There are snowmen, Santas, witches, Easter bunnies, every holiday finds Darcey cooking up new patterns for her famous caramel apples. She just had a request for apples that are decorated like baseballs and she's ready to give that design a try.
"In 2004, I registered my business with the state. I had just graduated from college and was teaching school in Helper. My business was growing. I had to choose between running my business and seeing how far it could take me and teaching school. I decided to focus on my business. We put an extensive amount of time and energy into developing the business. In 2007 we launched a website, I became a vendor for Associated Foods. I traveled to fairs, festivals and college events. My husband Gregg is my business partner and he retired last January and he has helped move the business forward from a cottage industry. We looked at leasing a large building and at space in malls, but the rent was so outrageous, it wasn't feasible.
"We met with Mike McCandless, Ethan Migliori and Delynn Fielding from the Business, Expansion and Retention Program. They encouraged me to move my hobby business to new heights. I applied for Fast Track funding. We built a commercial kitchen in Cleveland. Some of our vendors now include Gardner Village, Thanksgiving Point and Western Nut Company. We hired our first employee. We are open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Our store is at the former Cleveland Town Hall and Fire Station. I only live two blocks away, so any time you want something on days we aren't open just give me a call. We dip our apples fresh and slice them for our customers. We offer free gift wrapping.
"Also at our Sweet Shop we have other vendors selling their items as well. It's a unique gift shop.
"Anyone can start a business. I put in less than $100 that first year at the fair for supplies. We also sponsor fund raisers and we ship our products all over. We decided to support our locals who have supported us. If there is ever another fair scheduled on the same day as an event in Emery County, we always choose to stay home and support our local event," said Darcey.
Jeffs introduced Brock Johansen from Emery Telcom to present next. Johansen gave some background information on the company. The company was formed in 1952 as a cooperative. Mountain Bell wouldn't come down to the rural areas and give them telephone service so the local farmers decided to start their own company. The coverage area included Cleveland, Orangeville, Emery, Ferron, Clawson and Elmo. It didn't include Huntington and Green River. The business has expanded and has customers in Grand, San Juan, Carbon and as far away as Grand Junction, Provo and into Salt Lake. The company has grown into far more than a telephone company.
The company has diversified enough that they are doing well. In 2005 total revenues were $16.4 million and in 2010 revenues were up to $22.6 million.
"We try to give back to our community. We are making less money from our Co-op members and more money from outside sources. I look at Emery County as a small country. We need to export more than we import. How are we going to do that. We need to bring money from outside the area into the county. Each of us needs to buy local and we encourage our members to do that. We need to keep money here. We need to regionalize and a huge part of that is the internet. Expand your customer base and that will mean more money overall. We can use that money to put back into our communities," said Johansen.
Johansen said Emery Telcom wants to help local businesses expand their services. It wants to help businesses have a presence on the web. He sees the success of Emery County coming as each business expands and grows using our own resources here in the county. Emery Telcom has expanded its base of services, they are an internet company, cable company, phone company and a computer store. Johansen feels the computer services offered by Emery Telcom are under-utilized by locals. They have computer experts that can help your business with computer networking and phone networks, "We can be an asset to you," said Johansen.
Johansen sees that as one of the issues small businesses have to deal with is they have expertise in one area, but other aspects of business they don't have the experience like computers, accounting and other areas. Emery Telcom can give you technical advice.
Johansen talked about the two local channels they offer as part of their cable service. One of the channels focuses on tourism and is played on all the motels in Moab. It talks about all the recreation opportunities there are in the four county area that Emery Telcom services. Johansen said the hope is the channel will help push tourists up to our area from Moab.
Channel 10 is the other local channel and they are always searching for content for this channel. It broadcasts local sports, cooking show as well as public meetings and sporting events.
Johansen said they are still looking at getting into cell phones, but they haven't been able to yet. Verizon and AT&T are big customers for Emery Telcom, because after that cell phone hits a tower, it's carried on wire to Salt Lake. AT&T uses the Horn Mountain communications site and is a good customer.
Johansen said they are trying to grow and innovate as opportunities arise. He also encouraged everyone to find an idea and develop it.
When Johansen came home from school he was talking to his dad and he told him how much money the farm loses every year and how the farm had to be subsidized with money from outside employment. Johansen decided that didn't sound too good and so he helped devise a way to make money with the farm or maybe just not lose money with it. He began selling his bulls outside the area. This year they don't have a bull left. "We need to look outside our area for customers."
"What can Emery Telcom do to help you and your business. We want to make life better here. We provide circuits to all our schools. We broadcast their events," said Johansen.
Streaming video is big and they also want to get into that. Choosing our own content, when we want it, on demand is the future. Emery Telcom can provide 50 megs to every customer.
Johansen encouraged the businesses to contact Emery Telcom to see what they can do to help your business operate more efficiently. Ben Heaton is the contact person for business.

Should Have Bought CortexI bought this one because it was similar to a friends model. Come to find out she had a Cortex brand which folica sells for $79.00 less! It's the same tool just that Cortex is cheaper, has a lifetime warranty, and has 4 sizes instead of three! I wish I could take this Amika one back and get the Cortex model!Oct 30, 2010Kerry C. / Miami

The Best Curling Iron Ever!!This is the BEST curling iron I have ever used. Just be careful to do your homework before really jumping in and trying to style your hair. My sister-in-law burnt herself bad because she didn't really know how to use it correctly. There are a lot of YouTube videos out there that show how to use this product properly. After watching the videos u quickly understand how to use and you even figure out your own rhythm to style your hair after a few times of using it.
I have used plenty of curling irons spending so much money. This is the best I have ever used and is worth every penny! If you enjoy trying new things that are worth the time and effort this is the curling iron for you. I have very long hair and it only takes me 15-20 mins to get salon like hair that lasts ALL DAY!! I'm not kidding. I went out dancing one night, and the next morning my hair looked exactly the same, give or take the flat parts from my pillow. Other than that the curls were still in tact.Oct 6, 2010Jessica / Queens, NYHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Exceptional ResultsThe Amika curlers are amazing. I have chemically straightened hair and they will still put a perfect curl, in less than ten seconds, that will last all day. This product DOES require a different technique than normal curling irons, it takes some practice and getting used to, but I actually prefer it now - nothing to break your hair or get tangled in. PROS: heats up very quickly, the interchangeable barrels are easy to remove and replace, no need for hairspray or products that make your hair look stiff and over styled. CONS...it does get very hot and while you're still learning you may get a small burn or two if you aren't careful(the glove will prevent this, but I personally found it huge and much to hard to use). I've spent a lot of $$ trying many different irons and rollers this is by far the best thing I've ever found.Mar 10, 2010Laney

Great Product Makes Super Long Lasting CurlsI bought this in our local mall for an amazing price & had a ton of fun with it on the first day alone. I have long layered hair & found it was very easy to use. The glove they give you works if you dont touch the iron for very long. It gets hotter than any iron I have ever used & that is alot since i am a nail tech & have been in the beauty industry for 2o yrs working side by side with hair dressers. If you have layered hair, use clips to hold the top sections up & curl the bottom longer sections first. I also used this iron on my daughters hair. She is 7 & i have never been able to curl her hair & have the curl stay in for so long. It is already the end of the second day and her hair is STILL curly!! Crazy since her hair is waist long & very thick hair that has never been processed at all. I am infact , so happy with this product that i am considering retailing it in my studio :)Dec 28, 2009Barefootbutterfly / Vancouver, BC Canada

Not As Expected!These curlers are very hard to use. I tried the curlers immediately after receiving it but sent it back the next day. There's no clip so it makes it hard to use. I have layers on my hair so it made it even harder to use it. Glove supposedly is heat resistant and IT ISN'T at all!! I do not recommend the product! The only good thing is the heat on the curler. It does get hot very fast!Nov 20, 2009Bv / Fresno, Ca, USA

Death of Lena Heitzman Paris
Lena officially began part-time work on 1 June 1993 with the Germans
from Russia Heritage Collection, NDSU Libraries. She had worked
with GRHC in 1991 and 1992 as part of the AARP Senior Employment
Program. Lena grew up on a farm in central North Dakota near McClusky.
Her parents were immigrants from Germany and from South Russia (near
Odessa, Ukraine). Lena grew up speaking both the English and German
Lena provided valuable work especially with oral history transcription.
She was very detailed with with her data-entry and skill in know
some of the German dialect words. Lena would also prepare articles
for the GRHC website with outstanding proofreading/editing work.
Many of Lena's oral history transcriptions appear at the GRHC website.
A tribute of her work appears in the Bob Lind's article about Lena
Paris which appeared in The Forum, 27 June 2004 - library.ndsu.edu/grhc/articles/newspapers/news/paris.html
Lena who was 86 in March, would mention to me how she enjoyed coming
to work and being with the library staff. In many ways she was a
role model for the contributions of a senior citizen with her positive
and friendly personality. When I informed Lorrettax Mindt on Tuesday
of the loss of Lena, she mentioned that Lena was our "cheerleader"
here at the Library.
There will be Visitation for Lena Paris from 4 pm to 7 pm, Thursday,
16 September, at the Korsmo Funeral Home, 409 South 8th Street,
Lena's Memorial Services will be on Friday, 17 September, at Community
Baptist Church, 3535 25th Street South, Fargo, 10:30 am.
Cards can be sent to: Brenda Paris Lovitz, 1406 5th Street North,
Apt. 201, Fargo, ND 58102.
Lena Paris will be truly missed as a very special lady and a beloved

Hey Alberta... Hop On In...
Brian O'Neill
April 28 2009 05:24PM
Well for the first time since 1994 the Vancouver Canucks are Canada's last hope to bring a Stanley Cup back to the homeland. Now that the Flames have crashed and burned, Alberta is stuck in quite a quagmire. Cheer for the Canucks? But they hate the Canucks.As a Canucks fan to my brethren in Alberta, I openly invite you to join in on the party. There is no shame in jumping on the bandwagon, hell the bandwagon is already filled with posers and wannabes from Vancouver.
When the Flames defeated us in the first round in 2004, it took a series before we warmed up, but by the Conference Finals, the Flames had our official endorsement. We watched you guys all the way to game seven. We have to admit that the loss did not hit us nearly as hard.
We were quick to follow the Oilers in 2006, mainly because the Canucks, in traditional fashion, choked and did not make the playoffs. We don't have the same aggression towards the Oilers as we do the Flames. This is because we traditionally have never done you any favors at the end of the season when trying to clinch. Yes we feel guilty. Much like highlanders, only one of us can make it to the post-season.
The message I am trying to convey is that you do not have to sit around and ponder what will happen next season, you can continue cheering on the Canucks while they are still in the playoffs. Don't worry, the smell will wash off immediately following the playoffs.
Give us your support. You be Scott Neidermayer, we'll be Rob. Hitch your post to us and help us get a taste of the glory.
I would have invited Eastern Canada, but they have never heard of these so called Canucks. They didn't even know there was a Western Conference.
No thanks. I will cheer for the Canadian team inthe playoffs as well.... Just not Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal.

Except if you're reading the same post on FlamesNation. Seriously folks - can we get some way to visually identify posts that have been cross-posted to both sites? It's disconcerting.
@ Brad:
Disconcerting? Really? You find it unsettling?
Seems a bit alarmist, but fair enough it's a good idea. We'll get the OilersNation Interwebs Sciencentitians™ working on it. Thanks Brad!
I am a diehard oilers fan...living in vancouver. In fact, I go to school with hundreds of canuck "fan" dumbasses. Most of who, all think that their team has won at least cup... havent they..? Never in a million years would i be any where close to a Canucks bandwagon. I do like running over the stupid little canuck flags all over the place.
April 29 2009, 10:26PM
Yeah same boat as Rider out here except a Flames fan. I live in Victoria and the there is no way I am jumping on board with all the dumb ass Canuck fans I have to deal with on a regular basis. Lets go Hawks
if you start the "we want the cup" chant (you are in the second round after all)
you might get a few
The NHL is not the forum for national loyalties. That's what the Olympics and other international competitions are for.

Not much love on here for dog killa. I couldn't care less if he or Rapistfatburger had their careers ended.
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez insists the days are over when the club could only attract players by being a stepping stone to more illustrious rivals.
The Latics remain vulnerable to richer foes, with both Franco di Santo and James McCarthy among those being linked with big-money moves during the present transfer window.
Martinez is determined to resist any advances but, as he prepares to hand Angelo Henriquez a first start in tonight's FA Cup third-round replay at Bournemouth, he feels Wigan are a big enough draw on their own.
"I do see a change," Martinez told http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk.
"It is something that we had to do in the past. We needed to embrace it.
"The players were coming into a new league and they knew they could develop and move on. We had the benefit of getting outstanding talent. They needed to adapt.
"I don't think we are in that situation now.
"It was important that we changed it. The players need to know what it means to represent Wigan and, slowly, get them to achieve more at our football club."
Martinez has already spoken so highly of McCarthy, it is impossible to imagine he will not leave at some point.
The crucial factor is it will be at a time of Wigan's choosing.
"When a team like Manchester United loses players because they want to try something different, you realise it is part of the modern game," said Martinez.
"I always feel it is not about losing players, it is about how you are going to replace them.
"It has to be at the right time for the club. And also the right price.
"And we need to create a culture where we can keep our assets for a little bit longer."
Martinez has repeatedly stated his belief that cup football represents the perfect environment for his younger players to test themselves, and he will stick to that philosophy at Dean Court.
Roman Golobart had a decent debut in the first game 10 days ago and will again be asked to step up.
Henriquez hit the bar in the first meeting, so the on-loan Manchester United man will hope for better, while Roger Espinoza should also get his first experience of English football after the Honduran's arrival from Major League Soccer.

Finished Hard Merchandise....now onto Timothy Zahn's Allegiance.
I thought I read on a pre-order site that the next LotJ book had a different author listed. :eek: Hope that's not true.Quote:

Amazon has book 8 ("Against the Empire") listed with Jude Watson as the author.
Finished Jules Verne's Paris in the 20th Century. Not bad, very much like Orwell's 1984, written around 60-80 years prior, predicting pretty close to reality how the "future" in 1960 would be, technology-wise, and thinking-wise.
Will begin the new SW Sacrifice soon, but from the sounds of it, I don't think I'm gonna like it much. :(
Reading Trail of the Fox, about Rommel, at the gym, and Ken Follett's Hornet Flight at home. The Follett is another WWII thriller, set in Denmark.
The Rommel book is very interesting. It's an older book, published in the mid-70s, and the author interviewed several people who worked beside or knew Rommel. Rommel had a bit more of an ego than I was aware of.
I was actually starting to compile a list ( :drool: :D) of books read as mentioned in this thread, but it got long and I quit. :o
Almost done with Sacrifice. I am just waiting to find out what the sort-of-known info ends up being.
I finally finished The Making of SW. It was a long read, taking over a month in little parts at a time, but very informative. Also got to the end of Sacrifice. Not too surprising, but actually it's been the best Legacy book so far, IMO (which might not say too much, considering how I have disliked the series so far, but it's not bad).
Finished Allegiance and now onto The Truce at Bakura!
My summer reading quest is on! For the past 3 summers, I've set a goal to read 30 books (haven't reached it yet: '04 - 28, '05 - 29, '06 - 25), so here goes...
Finished Digging for the Truth, a behind-the-scenes book from Josh Bernstein, the host of the History Channel TV show of the same name. Kind of Indiana Jones meets Rachel Rae. :confused: But not bad; written a little below the level of most books I read but still enjoyable.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgsen Burnett. Yeah, this might seem to be "below the level of most books I read," but 19th century British writers have a history of being harder to follow. A good story full of positivity; need more of those today.
I plan to follow a "secret" motif this summer: The Secret Garden, The Secret, The Secret Life of Bees. Will begin Secrets by Danielle Steel soon (I also try to branch out and choose genres I don't normally read).
Finished three more:
Secrets by romance novelist Danielle Steel. I am usually not into this genre, in fact, I only chose it because a) I hadn't read any of her stuff yet and b) it fit my "secret" motif. It was okay, again without having many romance books with which to compare it. Set in the mid-1980s amid the glamorous prime time TV dramas, I don't even know if I'd consider it a true romance story.
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. First off, let me say that there are few books that actually make me angry, Mr. Magee. :hulksmash: I chose this one because a) I'd heard so much hype about it that I felt compelled to read it and b) it fit my "secret" motif. I will take a deep breath before I begin my review.
There. It's listed as a positive book, about self-help, success, and holding "the secret" to happiness. Yes, it is positive, but underneath (and not so hidden, I might add) it is selfish, materialistic, simplistic, misleading, and oozing with un-earned entitlement. There are blatant lies (misquoting a quote one paragraph before! :confused: :upset: ), misleading "evidence" based on generalities and weak assumptions, contradictory views, and appeals to emotions for all the wrong reasons. I tried to laugh at its assertions, but it frustrated me too much. It will make my new Top Ten Worst Books, when I revise such a list. :whip:
Talk to the Hand by Lynne Truss. This disappointing book was my own fault. Her first book was a humorous view of grammar-gone-wrong, and I expected more of the same. However, I missed all the cover summaries and introduction that showed it would be more realistically depressing about how poor manners have become in society today. It was honest and at times gave a chuckle, but overall it left me feeling depressed at today's people.
Starting The Lovely Bones, another downer (based on how it's begun so far). That puts me at six books now, around 1500 pages after a week of vacation. :thumbsup:

A good answer will reiterate your qualifications, and will highlight what makes you unique.
Good answer:
"I've been an Executive Assistant for the past ten years – my boss has said time and time again that without me, the organization would fall apart. I've also taken the time to educate myself on some of the software I regularly use (but didn't really understand the ins and outs of). I'm an Excel wiz now, which means I can work faster, and take over some of what my boss would traditionally have had to do himself.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The 2011 spring ball season came to a close Tuesday with Emery hosting the Delta Rabbits on both the softball field and the baseball field. Emery came away victorious in both sports and the state 3-A tourney now awaits both teams. The baseball team won 7-3 and the softball team won 8-3.
Victory was sweet for both teams as it sends both to the playoffs on a high note but especially for the boys as the defeated the region champion in that last game and also secured themselves a higher playoff seed than a loss would have brought.
The girls defeated a team that they should have defeated but they played well in doing so. The Lady Spartans continued hitting the ball well but they also played perfectly in the field as they committed no errors and they made all the plays that they should have made.
For the boys, Geren Payne pitched a complete game and limited the highflying Rabbits to only two hits in the game. Those two hits came in the third inning where the Rabbits scored their points in the game. After the first Rabbit batters got out, Payne issued one of only two walks he gave up in the game. The next batter got on base due to an infield error that would have made the inning over but instead kept the inning alive with two runners on. The next two batters doubled and singled and Delta had their three runs in the game.
Over the last four innings of work, Payne only pitched to 13 batters, one over the minimum required as he completed his best effort of the season. Nathan Mecham pitched the last inning for the Spartans to shut down the Rabbits.
Emery scored a single run in the first inning, three more in the second inning, two more in the third inning and the final run in the fourth inning. In the first inning, Nathan Mecham walked and scored. In the second inning, Tappan Draper singled, a pitch hit Nick Stoddard and Chance Huntington got on base due to a first baseman error. All three would score.
In the third inning, Geren Payne singled, Kash Jewkes singled and Stoddard got hit again. Curtis Mason also walked in the inning but it would be Payne and Jewkes that scored on a combination of stolen bases and passed balls. The final run came when Mecham singled and moved around the bases and scored on singles by Payne and Jewkes.
For the softball team, Delta scored two runs in the second inning on three base hits and a single run in the fifth inning on a pair of base hits. Delta only got five hits off Emery pitcher Whitney Roper in the game, all in those two innings. Roper also struck out eight batters and gave up no walks in the game.
Emery scored four runs in the second inning, one in the third inning, one in the fourth inning and the final two in the fifth inning. In that second inning, Jeridi Price walked, a pitch hit Auminee Bennett and Kaitlyn Thompson singled scoring Price. After a ground out, Markette Tanner hit a homerun over the centerfield fence and Emery led 4-2.
In the third, Roper got hit by a pitch, Shelby Mason singled to left field and Price doubled to score Roper before the inning ended. In the fourth inning, Makiah Sherman got on base due to error by the Rabbit shortstop followed by Tanner singling to left field and Sherman scored on a sacrifice fly to centerfield by Bryton Hess.
Emery's final two runs came after a pitch hit Price, Bennett singled, Sherman singled and Tanner doubled scoring the two runs. Markette ended the day with three hits in four at bats and had five RBIs in the game. Mason was the only other Emery batter to get more than one hit in the game as she singled twice.
Both teams finished third in the region.

Taylor Poehls is still relatively young in the chiropractic business.
But even in his limited experience, others see a bright future in the 30-year-old.
Poehls, the clinic director at The Chiropractic Company in Brookfield, was recognized for his work during the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association's four-day annual conference in October at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells when he received the WCA Nels Bakke Award.
The award, voted on by the WCA Board, honors chiropractors who have been in practice for less than five years and recognizes the contribution of younger practitioners who have dedicated themselves to serving the profession and their community.
"I am honored to have received this award," Poehls said. "It was also an honor to be recognized at this year's convention in front of my peers. It motivates me to continue providing community outreach programs to local businesses, non-profits and other organizations to improve the health and wellness of community on the local and state levels."
Poehls started with The Chiropractic Company in 2009 as a chiropractor and was promoted to run the Brookfield office in June 2011.
Since then, he said, their office has grown and has been working with local businesses and groups.
Poehls is certified in nutritional counseling and as a kinesiotaping practitioner.
In addition to the state recognition, Poehls was recently named the Top Chiropractor in the Shepherd Express Best of Milwaukee Readers' Choice Awards 2012.
"It's been a fun year," Poehls said.
Getting to this point has been a little surprising to him.
"I had no idea what a chiropractor did until I was a junior in college," said Poehls, who graduated from UW-Stevens Point in 2005 with a degree in Health Promotion and Wellness and then earned his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
"I was interested in the health sciences and that's when I stumbled upon chiropractic. After shadowing many chiropractors, I found that they all loved their work and their patients all seemed to love them. It seemed like a great gig, and it is."
Poehls said the best part of his job is giving people hope in the power of their bodies to heal and be healthy as well as to help them find their way to health and happiness.
