Do you think water has feelings?
Ssomebody has been mixing his water with high proof alcohol this early part of the day.ReplyCancel
Ummmm. Enty?ReplyCancel
Water, like goofy GOOP, has no feelings.ReplyCancel
How's the puppy, Cleo?ReplyCancel
Yay, an extra OT! Fru, where you at?ReplyCancel
"What the Bleep Do We Know?!" also went on about the Japanese Doc, he did experiments where people yelled at water & told water how much they loved it.ReplyCancel
You think Bacon Ranch will be pissed aboot this @TTM?ReplyCancel
That's great, Cleo. My sister had a kitty with epilepsy, was no joke. I'm glad you were able to get her sortedReplyCancel
And I thought I was extra baked todayReplyCancel
When Goopy is swimming or bathing , water is very, very sad. I get text alerts from waterfeelsyou.jkReplyCancel
BR and her pals only get mad if we have fun, sandy. As long as everything stays calm and for the love of god NOBODY LOL! and we should be fine.ReplyCancel
Following Gayeld out the door.
For those wondering WTH this is about:
'Negativity changes the structure of water': Now Gwyneth Paltrow claims that even H2O has feelings in latest bizarre Goop post in the DM.ReplyCancel
Ok, enty, you've reached an all time low. Congrats. Lol.ReplyCancel
And I thought I was the only one boozing this early in the day.ReplyCancel
Someone ate the brown acid.ReplyCancel
Yes, water does have feelings and I'm very sorry for all the kids that like to pee in pools of it. Dumb kids.ReplyCancel
The look on my face can only be described as incredulous.
I wonder if anyone ever sits her down and says, "Gwynnie…please. Just please shut the fuck up!!"?ReplyCancel
Dude, you have taken a a lot of bad acid and are having a bad trip. Please, just sit down and think of your favorite toy as a kid. Imagine you are there playing with it and everything is a happy fun time. You are on summer vacation and all your friends are there and you're going to a water park. Just relax, we'll get though this, bro.ReplyCancel
I keep trying to figure out if he meant does the Waiter have feelings. In which case yes… Don't forget to leave a tip.ReplyCancel
Water does store energy. It stores energy in its chemical bonds. If you bombard it with negative or positive energy, (and what are emotions if not physical manifestations of different energy frequencies?)who is to say it will not react according to the type of energy directed toward it? We are 75% water and react to energy and emotions, no?
And there's Discoflux's Hippie Moment of the Day.ReplyCancel
Gwynnie is actually referring to Dr. Emoto's rice and water experiment. It's actually very interesting. I've actually done the experiment and it worked. It's kinda cool actually. See the link below.
I think Goop's water probably hates her guts.ReplyCancel
Discoflux you have a fan in me now.
I think this is highly interesting and I thinks it's sad someone takes it and makes "do you think water has feelings?" Out of it.
You ruined my
*drops mic*
I was so excited and didn't read the comments because I assumed no else would have done it because everyone seems to thinks it's nuts minus a few Scientist type trying against the waves of immediate dismissal to explain the phenomenon. Its nice to have a back up because I don't have pics. BECAUSE it DOES sound completely unbelievable and like sheer new age lunacy until you actually do it.ReplyCancel
She's literally the equivalent of the Kartrashian curse to Homeopathy/anything she touches/etc. I HATE it when she brings up stuff I do like Coconut Oil and oil pulling. Im into that shit and then she brags about it online and suddenly Sprouts is OUT of apple cider vinegar AND then they were OUT of coconut oil.ReplyCancel
Humans are an anomaly. We think we're self aware and above everything, but were not. Animals, vegetables and minerals just are. They know how to "be" without being assholes about it. They don't have to analyze the meaning of everything or make up shit like ridiculous stories in order to validate their existence. They are no less alive than we are.ReplyCancel
I've had homeopathy work for me, although I was taking the OTC versions, not the super-duper-diluted-to-the-point-of-WTF? versions, which I do have to wonder about; don't vaccines work on a similar principal of using a very small dose of what causes a particular disease to help prevent it? (It was the only thing that touched some godawful menstrual cramps I was having around 20 years ago that were apparently as bad as 1st stage labor; I think the next step would have been narcotics, but thankfully the homeopathic remedy did the trick.) Having said that, though, I agree Sillygurl that Gwynnie really needs to stop talking about New Age-y stuff, because she's just giving it all a bad name by, well, being herself. 🙁ReplyCancel
Robin said: "…don't vaccines work on a similar principal…"
Not really, in theory but not in practice. Homeopathic products only guess at what causes the various ailments.
Let's say there's a plant called called ouchflower, which if you eat it, you'll get a case of the poops. A homeopath will then make an anti-poop remedy from it. The problem is the poops has different causes — if you ate spoiled food, or you're lactose intolerant and ate ice cream, the ouchflower won't fight the stomach virus, nor add the enzymes to digest the dairy.
Other times, they are even worse. Oscillococcinum, a popular remedy used to fight the flu, has as its active "ingredient" extract of duck heart and liver. WTF??? Some dude claimed to discover a bacterium (which he named oscillococcus) in people with cancer, then claimed to find it in a duck. The bacteria doesn't exist, and never did, making this a worthless product.
Not only will duck heart not cure the flu, there's no duck heart in the product! It's diluted down to nothing. They say "it totally works, the water remembers" — if water indeed has memory, it would remember every rainstorm, toilet flush, medication, beer, soap bubble, and dinosaur pee from the entire history of the planet! Anybody thirsty??? 😀ReplyCancel

The Vongola is a really big organization. Lal already said that aside from the original XXX number of animal box weapons by the three inventors, they were able to make storage boxes, weapons etc.
So I'm guessing there has to be someone in the Vongola that has learned about the boxes and is able to make their own. The future Hibari went around learning about the boxes - those information by be sent to the Vongola allowing them to replicate an animal box.
To be honest, you're thinking too much into it. :C
I mean, it's the Vongola we're talking about. Surely they have the technology and skills to make box weapons too.
And Nutz is a very bad translation for his name. I really did laugh when I read him calling him Nutz. Peanuts would've been better. (not to mention cuter!)

Nigel Adkins back as Forest fav
The betting has started in Sky Bet's next Nottingham Forest manager market after Alex McLeish's departure from the club on Tuesday morning.
- Related Content
Nigel Adkins is back as the 10/11 favourite to take the top job at the City Ground after Billy Davies had moved from 12/1 to 5/6 earlier in the day.
The former Forest boss is now 7/4 to return but he's the big favourite to become Blackpool manager with 1/5 the price on offer for the Scot to take over at Bloomfield Road.
In the Forest betting, Owen Coyle can be backed at 11/2 and Roy Keane is a 12/1 shot.
You can also get 16/1 for Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi to double up with the manager's job and that would be quite a story.
Sky Bet Football Trader Chris Spicer said: "Will anyone want to work for Forest after yet another disastrous managerial split?
"The reason for McLeish's departure still seems unclear and whoever does take the post has a lot to do if he wants to achieve anything with Forest this season."

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Last week was supposed to cement the Emery Spartans as the best team in Region 8 boys basketball but a home loss to a good Juan Diego team threw the region race wide open. Emery lost to Juan Diego 57-54 before hosting Granite and coming out with a 67-54 victory.
Although Juan Diego is a really good basketball team, Emery lost this game for a couple of reasons. In Coach Todd Jeffs words, "They took the middle away from us. They were quite physical underneath and it was tough for us." The other Emery problem was keeping control of the ball as Emery had 15 turnovers compared to only 6 for the Soaring Eagles. In the decisive fourth quarter, Emery had five unforced turnovers that prevented a complete comeback.
In the opening quarter of the game, Emery got out to an early 10-5 lead before Juan Diego came back strong to win the quarter 16-12. Dempsey Jeffs led the team with 5 points. Emery lost the second period also as the Eagles outscored Emery 14-13 to lead at the half 30-25. Juan Diego had a balance inside, outside attack versus only an outside game for Emery.
The third period belonged to Emery as they came out after the half and outscored Juan Diego 14-7 in the period to lead 39-37. Jeffs had another 5 points in the quarter to pace Emery along with Dave Justice's 5 points.
Emery had opportunity to win this game in the end but simply could not get over the hump. Darrin Winn finally came to life and scored 7 points to get the Spartans within three. Kyler Edgehouse missed on a 3-point attempt with 30 seconds left that would have tied the game. Josh Eden then also missed on another 3-point attempt with 15 seconds left that also would have tied the game. Emery was only 4 for 10 from the free throw line in the final quarter but Juan Diego also missed some free throws down the stretch that helped keep the game close.
Coach Jeffs was happy with his guard's play as he commented, "Our perimeter guys stepped up and did a good job tonight."
Jeffs led the team with 13 points while Winn added 12 points. Justice finished with 11 points, Josh Eden added 9 points, Vic Rosen added 7 points and Edgehouse had 2 points.
On Friday night, Emery opened up a 27-6 lead after the first quarter before coasting home with a 13-point victory margin.
Unfortunately, when you play an inferior team, you can only keep your intensity up so long. Granite, a school that stops athletics after this school year, simply put does not retain the best athletes that live within their boundaries. They go to another school and the schools athletic teams pay the price with loss after loss.
After opening up a 30-point lead, Coach Jeffs played several players that usually never see varsity action till the end of the game. Although the outcome of the game was never in doubt, as a fan and probably as a coach, you wanted to see your team a little more disciplined down the stretch. Granite outscored Emery in the third quarter 20-15 and in the fourth quarter 13-6.
Scoring in the game for Emery were Justice with 25 points, Winn with 14 points, Eden with 12 points, Rosen and Jeffs with 6 apiece, Kyler Edgehouse with 3 points and Kade Jones with 1 point.
Emery travels to Delta Wednesday night before hosting the hot Carbon Dinos on Friday night. Carbon is 9-5 on the season and defeated Juan Diego in Price last week 68-56. Carbon leads region play with a 3-0 record. Juan Diego is 11-3 for the season.

Six Morne Steyn penalties and a controversial try by Chiliboy Ralepelle handed the Bulls a 25-17 win over the Stormers on Friday.
Six penalties from Morne Steyn and a controversial try by Chiliboy Ralepelle handed the Bulls a 25-17 win over the Stormers at Loftus Versfeld on Friday.
It was a disappointing start to the Super Rugby season in South Africa as an error-strewn game failed to live up to the hype surrounding a clash between the three-time champions and last year's conference winners.
A man-of-the-match display from Steyn proved the difference between the sides as he landed all seven of his attempts at goal.
Television match official Johan Greeff was also massively influential as it was his rubber stamp on Ralepelle's 68th minute try that killed off any hope the trailing Stormers had of getting back into the game.
The Stormers will head back to the Cape with only themselves to blame as their own errors cost them victory despite outscoring their hosts two tries to own.
A scrappy first half came to and end with the Bulls leading 9-0 thanks to three penalties from Steyn, who was pin-point accurate with his kicking both out of hand and from tee.
The scoreline was flattering to the Stormers, who were looking decidedly rusty and really should have been made to pay for their 10 handling errors in the opening 40 minutes.
Steyn extended the lead to 12-0 shortly after the restart with another long-range effort as the Stormers scrum buckled.
The visitors' cause was not helped by woeful place-kicking of Elton Jantjies, who missed all four of his kicks in his first game in the blue and white hoops.
Skipper Jean de Villiers finally put the Stormers on the board when he scored an opportunistic try after Bryan Habana was stopped just inches short. Joe Pietersen took over the kicking duties from Jantjies and landed the conversion and a penalty soon afterward to narrow the gap at 12-10.
Steyn replied with his fifth and sixth successful kicks however to leave the Bulls eight points ahead on the hour mark.
Ralepelle's try would be the killer blow as he collected Francois Hougaard's grubber from an offside position and dive in under the sticks. The TMO ruled that the ball had connected with the leg of Frans Malherbe, putting Ralepelle onside, and the try was approved.
A late consolation try from Andries Bekker when the Bulls defence finally cracked proved too little too late for the visitors to salvage a losing bonus point and they head to the Shark Tank next week empty handed.

Dr. O¹Reilly¹s laboratory investigates mechanisms controlling lung epithelial cell survival and differentiation in response to oxidative stress caused by exposure to high oxygen (hyperoxia). Although hyperoxia is often used to treat patients with respiratory distress, it stimulates cell death in adults and permanently disrupts lung development in neonates. Research in the laboratory focuses on two major lines of investigation. First, understand how hyperoxia activates the p53-dependent expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21 and how p21 controls cell growth, survival, and inflammation.

Ship Weight:3.96 Servings:1 Dosage:1 Bar(s) Organic Food Bar - Raw Fiber Chocolate Delite - 1.76 oz. Organic Food Bar Raw Fiber Chocolate Delite provides a whopping 14 grams of fiber blended with antioxidant-rich non-dairy chocolate chips. Organic Food Bar Raw Fiber Chocolate Delite has an exclusive pre-biotic fiber blend that helps increase the healthy intestinal flora to further help with elimination without drying the intestinal tract like most fiber bars. Fiber can help us avoid ailments such as certain types of cancer and diabetes, can keep our weight under control by slowing the onset of hunger and can have a positive influence on cholesterol, triglycerides, and other particles in the blood that affect the development of heart disease. Could something this good for you possibly taste good? You bet. Organic Food Bar Raw Fiber Chocolate Delite is a joy to eat. We all know that we need to eat right to be healthy, but sometimes it simply is not convenient. Organic Food Bars solve this problem and they taste great too! With Organic Food Bars you finally have the best of both worlds; the convenience of a bar and the alkaline-forming nutritional quality you need to eat healthier than ever before. Now, "fast food" can be healthy food. Over the past decade, organics have moved from the 'lunatic fringe' to middle America. 38% of U.S. families now consume some organic food -- and that number is rising precipitously. Most people recognize the benefits of organics, and studies show they would buy more organic food if it satisfied two criteria: 'better taste' and 'lower cost'. FAQ How are Organic Food Bars made?They travel the world to find the finest, most wholesome ingredients to handcraft Organic Food Bars. All of their ingredients are certified organic, kosher and purchased as fresh as possible. They prepare Organic Food Bars with lots of love in house. They don't "contract out" the preparation of the bars, because they prefer to know exactly what goes on, at every moment, when Organic Food Bars are being made. That's the only way to ensure the finest quality. The ingredients are mixed, blended, packaged and stored at room temperature to preserve the natural qualities and enzyme activity of the ingredients. Making Organic Food Bars is like making a gourmet, wholesome home-cooked meal. It's simply healthier because you have control over ingredients; it tastes better; and, it's just got more heart and soul to it! Organic Food Bars taste like they are made fresh every morning? How is this accomplished?As we like to say, your taste buds don't lie! Organic Food Bars taste freshly prepared, because they are freshly prepared! Each morning, they whip up a fresh, new batch of delicious Organic Food Bars on their site. Then, they're packaged immediately to lock in that one-of-a-kind, fresh-made taste. How long do Organic Food Bars keep their "fresh-made taste"?Most people cannot believe how fresh Organic Food Bars taste! Organic Food Bars taste like they were made minutes ago. The secret lies in their very special organic ingredients, their special preparation process and in their high- tech, environmentally-friendly wrappers that protect the "fresh-made" bars for up to one year! Is Organic Food Bar really organic? Absolutely, positively, 100%! Organic Food Bar is one of the world's only, 100% certified organic whole food bar according to the organic guidelines set by the USDA, JAS, EEC 2091/2092 (European Union) and Austria (Austria has some of the world's toughest organic standards and guidelines). Many products are touted as "organic," but they only include a portion of organic ingredients and may also contain synthetic USP vitamin supplements. Organic Food Bar thinks this is disingenuous. They believe that if you say you're organic, then you should mean it. Why organic?You've probably heard a lot about organic food and farming by now. Like any health or nutrition topic, some of the statements are overblown and exaggerated. However, they believe that most of the positive reports on organic food are true. First, a definition: Organic food is simply food produced according to certain production standards. For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. There are, of course, different schools of thought about organic food. Some people believe that organic farming is not as "sustainable" as conventional farming because organic farms require more land. However, they feel differently. They believe the arguments in favor of organic food and farming far outweigh those against them. For example, it's indisputable that organic farming is better for the environment because organic farms do not release synthetic pesticides into the environment; organic farms are better than conventional farms at sustaining diverse ecosystems; and, organic farms use less energy and produce less waste), which is better for producers. Even when pesticides are used correctly, they still end up in the air, underground water and bodies of farm workers. And, perhaps most importantly: we believe without reservation that organic food is better for you. No study has shown pesticides to be healthy and almost all find them to be harmful to human health. Organic Food Bars are 100% organic. They always have been and always will be. What makes Organic Food Bar different than other bars? In two words: uncompromising quality. If you are unflinching in staying true to your vision, and this applies to any area of life really, then the end product is as good as it can be. But don't take their word for it: just read the ingredient list on our bars and compare them to other products. You are what you eat, so please take the time to read, and understand, the ingredient lists on all the foods you buy for yourself and for your children. What is "live food?""Live food" is simply food that has not been processed, irradiated or overcooked and contains active ingredients that are beneficial for your health like enzymes, vitamins and phytonutrients. Organic Food Bars are considered "live foods." What does an Organic Food Bar taste like?This is difficult to explain in words. When most people pick up an Organic Food Bar and read how amazingly healthy it is, their first reaction is that it won't taste good. That stands to reason: most "healthy bars" taste like the sole of a shoe. Organic Food Bars, however, are among the most delicious food bars ever created. They've made taste a big, big priority here. First and foremost, they taste incredibly fresh. They are very moist and feel "substantial." They have a gentle sweet flavor and burst with healthful ingredients that almost immediately make you feel healthier. The body doesn't lie. Try one for yourself and you'll see. What are GMOs? Are they harmful?A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as recombinant DNA technology. Genetic modification (GM) is the subject of controversy in its own right. Some see the science itself as meddling with "natural" order, while others recognize the inability of modern science to fully comprehend all of the potential negative ramifications of gene manipulation. While some experts believe GMOs are harmful; others do not. Here's where they stand on this point: Nobody can claim that they definitively know the long-term effects of GMOs on human health; there haven't been any peer-reviewed long-term studies. So, they prefer to play it safe when it comes to your health. Mother Nature knows best. In Organic Food Bar, they stick to all-natural, pure and unprocessed, organic whole food ingredients -- and by doing that they know they're delivering the very best to you with no possible risks of harm to your health. What are pesticides? Are they harmful?The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a pesticide as "any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or lessening the damage of any pest." Will pesticides kill you? No, they won't. Not in the amounts found in most foods. Are they good for you? No, they are not. That's well established. Some pesticides are very toxic and they have been implicated in the development of some cancers. A study published by the United States National Research Council in 1993 determined that for infants and children, the major source of exposure to pesticides is through diet. A recent study in 2006 measured the levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure in 23 school children before and after replacing their diet with organic food (food grown without synthetic pesticides). In this study it was found that levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure dropped dramatically and immediately when the children switched to an organic diet. Sometimes it's a matter of what's not in a food rather than what's in a food. Organic Food Bar believes that pesticides are something that should never be in your food. What is high-fructose corn syrup?High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) refers to a group of corn syrups which have undergone enzymatic processing in order to increase their fructose content and are then mixed with pure corn syrup (100% glucose) to reach their final form. This is considered a refined sugar, and most nutrition experts believe it is not healthy to consume HFCS. High-fructose corn syrup is a very common ingredient in foods. Organic Food Bars have never contained high-fructose corn syrup, and they never will. What is rice syrup? I thought rice was healthy!Rice syrup is a sweetener derived by culturing cooked rice with enzymes (usually from dried barley sprouts) to break down the starches, then straining off the liquid and cooking it until the desired consistency is reached. It is absorbed into the bloodstream immediately. Brown rice syrup is not suitable for consumption by diabetics, as the glucose and maltose cause rapid rise in blood-sugar. Organic Food Bars have never contained rice syrup, and they never will. What are trans fats? Are they the same as hydrogenated oils?Trans fatty acids (commonly termed trans fats) are a type of unsaturated fat (and may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated). Most trans fats consumed today are industrially created as a side effect of partial hydrogenation of plant oils — a process developed in the early 1900s and first commercialized as Crisco in 1911. Partial hydrogenation changes a fat's molecular structure (raising its melting point and reducing rancidity), but this process also results in a portion of the changed fat becoming trans fat. Unlike other fats, trans fats are neither required nor beneficial for health. Eating trans fat increases the risk of coronary heart disease. For these reasons, health authorities worldwide recommend that consumption of trans fat be reduced to trace amounts or eliminated if possible. Trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils are generally considered to be more of a health risk than those occurring naturally. A simple inspection of ingredients lists on foods such as breads, cookies and other "bars" show how common trans fats are in processed foods. Organic Food Bars have never contained trans fats, and they never will. Organic Food Bars are unprocessed. I hear a lot about "processed foods" and how processed foods can be. What does that mean and why are unprocessed foods unhealthy? Food processing is the set of methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food for consumption by humans or animals. The food processing industry utilizes these processes. Food processing often takes clean or harvested components and uses these to produce attractive and marketable food products. Benefits of food processing includes toxin removal, killing enzymes, preservation, adding flavor agents, easing marketing and distribution tasks, and increasing food consistency. In addition, it increases seasonal availability of many foods, enables transportation of delicate perishable foods across long distances. However, the downside of food processing is that is lowers the nutritional value of foods by eliminating or reducing enzymes, vitamins, phytonutrients and probiotics. Some preservatives added or created during processing such as nitrites or sulfites may cause adverse health effects on some consumers. In addition, high quality and hygiene standards must be maintained to ensure consumer safety and failures to maintain adequate standards can have serious health consequences. They believe that food bar products such as Organic Food Bars should be unprocessed, since there are so many processed foods in our daily diet. This is why Organic Food Bars are higher in enzymes, vitamins and phytonutrients than most packaged foods. Organic Food Bars are unprocessed, and they will always be unprocessed. What is the difference between a "food bar" ,"energy bar" and "nutrition bar"? This one is simple: food bars contain real food. Most "energy bars or nutrition bars" contain synthetic or processed ingredients. They believe the body functions better on real food, the way nature intended. Organic Food Bar is the world's leading organic whole food bar. What does it mean to be kosher?Kosher foods are those that meet certain criteria of Jewish law. Invalidating characteristics may range from the presence of a mixture of meat and milk, to the use of produce from Israel that has not been tithed properly, or even the use of cooking utensils which had previously been used for non-kosher food. Organic Food Bar is certified kosher, and it always will be. I noticed there is a moderate amount of fat in Organic Food Bars. Why is this so? And, what are "quality fats?"There has developed, particularly in America, a "fat phobia." People are afraid of fats because they don't want to "get fat." Here is a key distinction to make: there are healthy fats and unhealthy fats. Unhealthy fats include saturated fats found in fatty meats and hydrogenated oils. Healthy fats include extra virgin olive oil, fish oils and oils found in nuts. Organic Food Bars contain only healthy fats that come from their nut butters. These kinds of fats are heart healthy, they balance your blood sugar levels and they sustain you for longer periods of time. Think about how you feel when you eat a plate of plain pasta. Not very satisfied. Include some healthy oil, and you'll end up eating less overall calories, because you'll feel more satisfied for a longer period of time. An Organic Food Bar will sustain you for hours. Most other bars cannot make that claim. Some of your bars indicate that they are gluten-free. However, don't wheat grass powder and barley grass powder contain gluten? Our Active Greens Bar is tested by an independent laboratory to be Gluten Free <3ppm gluten. The US standard to be claimed gluten free is <20ppm and Organic Food Bar is well below that! Wheat grass and Barley grass are gluten free as they only use the tips of the grasses. There is a some gluten towards the stem of the grasses but most grasses are pretty safe. Wheat and Barley grains do have high levels of gluten but grasses are quite different than grains. I have a daughter with a peanut allergy and was looking for a protein / nutrition bar that I could keep around for myself and eat that would not cross contaminate her. I know that you do not use peanuts but have the nuts that you use ever come in close contact with peanuts? Peanut allergies can be very serious -- and in rare cases, life- threatening. The almonds or cashew butter in Organic Food Bars do not come in close contact with peanuts, since they are made on a separate line. Some people that are severely allergic, however, can be allergic to any nut. So, it's imperative that you check on this with your family physician. Do you or will you use fumigated almonds from California to make you Organic Food Bars, and if so, will you label them, or do you have sources from other countries? They do not use California almonds due to the fumigation issue. They will not use fumigated almonds due to possible health concerns. They source all the ingredients, first-hand, directly from the farmers. This helps to maintain an unparalleled quality of Organic Food Bars for customers. When I unwrapped [the bar], I saw that the inside of the wrapping was aluminum. I have been reading some disturbing news about [aluminum]. So, what [are] your thoughts on that? Their wrappers are specifically-designed and manufactured to ensure that there is absolutely no leaching of any material into Organic Food Bars. Most bar wrappers have a thin layer of food safe plastic — some have none! — but their wrapper has more than one layer to guarantee that the food inside is perfectly safe and wholesome. They also perform what is known as a "cold seal," so there is no heat involved in sealing the wrapper. This further ensures a safe and healthy product. The package says product of USA. Are all of the ingredients grown and processed in the USA? Organic Food Bar is made fresh daily in their own US-based facility in California. This state-of-the-art facility is certified organic, dairy free, wheat free, gluten free, peanut free and soy free. Their ingredients are sourced from the very finest vendors and farmers in Europe, the United States of America and Canada. They do not use any Chinese ingredients in Organic Food Bars, and they do not contract out any part of their manufacturing process overseas. Since quinoa is a grain does it not also have the same negative effects on the body as other grains, such as perforating the intestinal lining that can lead to leaky gut? You can rest assured that Organic Food Bars do not contain simple grains as they can be acid-forming and therefore unhealthful. They are unlike any bar on the market and live up to their promises of being the healthiest bar in the world. That said, they go to the extra time and expense to sprout all of their grains, which makes these "living" grains alkaline-forming – and, as a result: a good deal healthier. Sprouted grain is more of a plant. Is the glue used in your wrappers is gluten free?? We buy your bars by the metric ton and some our family member may be "inadvertently" eating some of the glue. Organic Food Bar goes to extraordinary measures to handcraft the world's healthiest and "cleanest" bars. You will be pleased to know that the cold seal cohesive they use on all of their wrappers is gluten free. I have noticed that some of your products are marked Vegan and some are not. Are all products Vegan or just the ones marked? Absolutely no Organic Food Bars contain any ingredient from animal sources. The reason they do not represent their bars with chocolate chips as Vegan is because they are made on shared equipment that also makes dairy chocolate. They hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and "Truth in Advertising." That is why they are so careful about what we say on their labels. Keep in mind that they handcraft their bars in their own certified organic and kosher facility (which is exceedingly rare in this business). They also thoroughly clean the machines between productions. However, there may be trace amounts (in extremely low PPM (parts per million)) of dairy. Otherwise, their chocolate chips are dark chocolate and are non-dairy. Can you please tell me what the difference is between your organic and raw organic bars?Their 68gram Organic Food Bars contain almond butter as a base. Their 50gram Raw Organic Food Bars contain cashew butter. Since cashews cost less than almonds, the pricing is better. If you want the best possible bar, then their 68gram bars with almond butter are the choice to make due to the superior alkalinity properties. At the same time, the raw 50gram bars are without question the best value and the healthiest product in this price category. What are bio-dynamic sprouts and what types and how do you use them in your bars? The qualifier "bio-dynamic" in "bio-dynamic organic raisins" means it is yet another step above organic. This has to do with sustainability and the condition of the soil etc. BioSprouts Flax and Quinoa are made in their own facility in Austria. Sprouting activates the seed and increases the vitamins, enzymes, lignans and phytonutrients considerably. An unsprouted seed is basically in a dormant stage with a very low nutritional value. Sprouting (germination) literally brings the seed alive! And, that brings you alive! Eating Raw Living Foods makes a HUGE difference for your body and your life. What does 'cold processed' mean with implications to nutritional value of product? Cold processed means that Organic Food Bar products are not baked. Moreover, the ingredients are not made over 118 F. This means Organic Food Bar is alkaline-forming, high in vitamin and enzyme content and easily digested. The ingredients you find in Organic Food Bar products are very high quality and cannot be compared with any other bar. They have never used any Chinese ingredients from the start when they effectively pioneered the Raw organic movement back in 2001. Everything else you see on the shelf is a cheap copy. Unlike most companies, Organic Food Bar products are made fresh in their own facility that processes no Peanuts, Wheat, Gluten, Dairy or Soy. About Organic Food BarOrganic Food Bar is a tightly-knit family. Each person who works at their headquarters in Southern California is a member of that family. Most of their staff have been there for many years. That's because they all believe deeply in the vision of Organic Food Bar. They pride themselves in producing the best food bars in the world, and they work tirelessly to achieve that every day. Although, most of the time, it doesn't feel like work. They love what we do, and they believe in the mission there. Interesting, isn't it that when you truly love your work, it's rarely a struggle to do it? They travel the world to source the finest ingredients to handcraft Organic Food Bar products. All of their ingredients are certified organic (USDA & EEC 2091/2092) and kosher, and they are purchased fresh every month. They make Organic Food Bars "with lots of love" in their certified organic facility. The bottom line at Organic Food Bar is that they focus on three simple things: their people, their product and their customers. By working with the best people, who genuinely enjoy their time there, they can produce the best product for you. From their family to yours, Organic Food Bar. It's what's inside that counts. FounderDr. Jack J. Singh is the founder and President Organic Food Bar, the finest quality and best-selling organic and raw bars in the world. Organic Food Bar launched intrepidly years ago before any other organic bar...before organics were widely accepted as a better alternative to conventionally grown foods. They printed the benefits of raw foods on the front of their 70–100% raw bar. It was substantially higher in price than the bars of its day. They were, and remain, a pioneer in the industry — and they helped pave the way for many organic and raw food entrepreneurs. They are the original and remain the best in terms of quality, taste and value!

Alternate Breed Inventory
AHA offers a program that allows the collection of crossbred data as well as information on recipient dams so that it might be possible to utilize the information of crossbred and embryo transfer (ET) calves in future genetic analyses.
The goals of this program are as follows:
- Allow AHA to record and document information on recipient dams, with may lead to the possibility of ET calves being used in future genetic analyses (age and breed makeup of recip).
- Allow AHA to record information on crossbred calves with some portion of known Hereford genetics so that the performance data from these animals might be used in future genetic analyses. Possible schemes might be for progeny testing young sires, aiding commercial cattlemen by benchmarking performance on their commercial cow herd, utilization of alternate breed sires on Hereford heifers and preserving their production history.
- Collect several years worth of these types of data and then analyze this information to see what the impact might be to the Pan-American Cattle Evaluation.
General Rules:
Purebred Herefords recorded in the AHA registry system should be maintained on a breeder's current Whole Herd TPR inventory. A purebred Hereford female may be moved to the alternate breed inventory, however, if a breeder wants to move her back to the Whole Herd TPR inventory at a later date, the $30 reactivation fee will apply. This is similar to if she was disposed of, which makes her inactive and thus removes her from the TPR inventory.
- Inventory fees for this system will be the same as Whole Herd TPR fees.
- This inventory system is completely voluntary and to get started a breeder has to express interest in having the forms sent to them. Once they start participating, inventory forms for the year and season will be sent out along with the purebred inventory forms. The breeder should return them with the purebred inventory forms for all enrolled females.
- There will be a bull and female inventory similar to the Whole Herd TPR system.
- Breeders can use the current Calf Recording/Birth Worksheet Information forms (FORM 1) to record calves out of animals on the alternate breed inventory.
- Calves recorded to a parent from the alternate breed inventory, other than ET calves whose donor dam is purebred with known pedigree, are not allowed to be registered or have a registration certificate issued. Nor will any of their progeny be eligible to become registered Herefords.
- Performance data of naturally bred and born calves will be compared based on contemporary groups formed by breed makeup of the calves. Performance data of ET calves will be compared based on contemporary groups formed by the genetic makeup of the recip dam for all traits except the ultrasound traits. Ultrasound trait data from ET calves will be compared based on contemporary groups formed by separating ET and naturally born purebred calves (e.g., ET calves compared against themselves and natural purebred calves compared against themselves).
- At the moment, no data from parents on the alternate breed inventory nor their progeny will be extracted for the genetic analyses. One exception to this is the ultrasound data of purebred ET calves. Ultrasound trait data from ET calves will be grouped separately from non-ET calves and have contemporary groups further formed using normal management code methods. The data will be extracted and utilized in future genetic analyses.

Skip to comments.Ann Coulter Smacks Down Mark Shields for Calling Her 'The Marie Antoinette
Posted on 02/09/2013 1:51:08 PM PST by Kaslin
Conservative author Ann Coulter has strongly responded to PBS's Mark Shields calling her "The Marie Antoinette of the Conservative press corps."
Shields made this remark on PBS's Inside Washington Friday in the middle of a discussion about Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-Fl.) recent views regarding immigration reform (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Mark Shields Calls Ann Coulter 'The Marie Antoinette of the Conservative Press Corps'
MARK SHIELDS, PBS: Ann Coulter, the Marie Antoinette of the Conservative press corps, has already come out against Marco Rubio saying that all youre doing is creating more Democratic voters with a path to citizenship, just like you did with easy divorce in her judgment.
GORDON PETERSON, HOST: Does she have a point, Colby?
COLBY KING, WASHINGTON POST: I dont, as far as Rubio is concerned? No
PETERSON: Creating more Democratic votes.
KING: They will probably continue to vote Democratic until the Republicans come up with policies that attract their attention.
Coulter responded by email Saturday:
I could write a book about what Mark Shields doesn't know about French history. Wait, I already did! Using his ahistorical cliche, it's the "Marie Antoinettes" who demand that the rest of us support their nannies, maids and gardeners. If illegal aliens competed with rich yuppies, Senators and Washington journalists for jobs (instead of being their underpaid nannies, maids and gardeners), I don't think people like Shields would be so excited about getting more of them here.
Ouch! That'll leave a mark on Mark!
For some background, here's what Coulter wrote about Rubio at the end of January:
The Democrats never change their ideas; they change the voters. For decades, Democrats have been working feverishly to create more Democrats by encouraging divorce (another Democratic voter!), illegitimacy (another Democratic voter!) and Third World immigration (another Democratic voter!).
Strangely, some Republicans seem determined to create more Democratic voters, too. That will be the primary result of Sen. Marco Rubio's amnesty plan.
IT'S NOT AMNESTY! Rubio's proponents cry. They seem to think they can bully Republicans the way the Democrats do, by controlling the language.
Rubio's bill is nothing but amnesty. It isn't even "amnesty thinly disguised as border enforcement." This is a wolf in wolf's clothing.
Despite all the blather about how Rubio demands "Enforcement First!" the very first thing his proposal does is make illegal aliens legal. (Don't call them "illegal aliens"!)
Read the whole piece here.
Republicans could give each one a trillion dollars every 5 minutes, and they would still vote for the rats.
I've stopped posting photos of Ann to the Coulter threads. That pretty much sums up my feeling towards Ann. The thrill is gone. Really enjoyed her a lot at one time.
What "Conservative Press Corps"?
Conservatives may have a "Press Squad" but nowhere near a "Corps". Or should I say "Corpse"?
The question is whether other freepers who said they would "never again" support Ann Coulter (after she promoted GOProud and pushed for Chris Christie and Mitt Romney for President) actually follow through on it. We'll see when her next book comes out. I think Ann is banking on the fact she can say and do whatever she wants, and gullible conservatives will still dole out plenty of money for her "I hate liberals" books and speeches.
After her Obama like trance over Chris Cristie, that was it for me.
Cristie is a Trojan horse.
Sometimes Ann connects; sometimes, it's a swing and a miss. On the Rubio amnesty thing, she connected. As to photos of Ann, I never got that. I've bought several of her books, but IMO she's always looked like a skinny skank.
The thrill's long gone re: Ann, but she's absolutely completely right about Rubio and this issue—and Democrats for that matter—on this one.
Ann and Karl make a perfect match. They're both Democrats in Republican clothing.
Ann pretty much has developed Political Tourette's Syndrome:
she will say whatever comes into her mind, uncensored.
By now it's expected of her.
And there's a whole army inside!
She said something onetime many of you disagreed with and now you are like a pack of Hyenas attacking her every chance you get
She released a book this past fall, and I'm pretty sure it didn't do as well as her others. Right now it's #8,917 on Amazon's list.
I have most of her books, but I'm not interested any more. Her hysterical fangirl antics over Christie and her column "Three Cheers for Romneycare" did it for me.
Is she on our side again? lol
Doesn't change the fact that she's right about Rubio's plan.
When you make illegal aliens legal they are not illegal aliens anymore.. and in some/most cases not even ALIENS.. and create the IMPORTATION of grand parents, cousins, Uncles, Aunts.. and those they SAY THEY ARE relatives buy are NOT..
Making the word.. "CITIZEN".. a joke.. a byword.. a bait and switch scam..
Rubio is starting to look like a poseur.. a shill.. a phoney.. fake.. a MOLE....
A Mole... you know... like John Roberts... the Bush operative.. i.e. Supreme..
Yes, that's true.
Shields either does not know who Marie Antoinette was or he doesn't know who Ann Coulter is.
Had Ann Coulter, and some of her fellow "conservative" pundits, were not attacking Birthers and supporting Obama on the Eligibility issue....we would not be here defending America from bipartisan liberals pushing Illegal Alien Amnesty.
Of course, she is a few years late discovering that Marco Rubio is a La Raza Amnesty Liberal
What does divorce have to do with this?
You could have at least put some pants on her.
This from a woman who called conservatives like me Neanderthal idiots because we dislike Romney.
Who by the way has the same stance on immigration as Rubio.
I quit listening to this lady last Summer during the primaries.
She is whatever she wants to be when it comes to defending who she wants to support at the time.
I will never ever spend another dime on her books, which I used to consistently purchase.
Not true, Kaslin. This is the first time I've publically stated anything negative about Ann and if you look at my original statement you'll see I'm pained to admit the thrill is gone.
I'm not in an hyena pack, K, and that's unfair of you.
she's a hottie no matter what...i said so....

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: Sit on a mat/floor with your legs extended in front of you. Point your toes towards the ceiling without bending your knees. Sit up tall. Try to make your torso vertical to the floor and your head aligned with your spine. Place your hands on the top of your thighs.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Gently exhale as you slowly hinge forward at the hips, sliding your hands down your legs toward your ankles. Try to keep the back flat. Do not allow your back to round. If your hamstrings are tight, this could be a very small movement. Keep your head aligned with your spine, knees straight and toes pointed upwards toward the ceiling. This should create a stretch through your calves and hamstrings, with some stretching in your low and middle back.
Continue to bend and reach forward to the point of tension in the stretch, but do not bounce or push to a point of pain. Hold this position for 15 - 30 seconds. Release the stretch and return to starting position. Repeat 2-4 times. You may elect to grasp your ankles to hold this position.
Exercise Variation: This stretch can become more dynamic by performing slow, controlled movements to complete 1 set of 5 - 10 repetitions, holding the stretched position for 1 - 2 seconds.
To maximize the benefits of a stretch and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stretch only to the point of tension, avoid bouncing, and control movement at other segments of the body. During this stretch, do not round the back.

Flames news and notes
Kent Wilson
March 10 2009 10:57AM
I don't have any lone, overarching themes, beefs or theses to share with you at this point, so here are a series of facts and thoughts in no particular order:
- As I sit here, it's -25 degrees in Calgary (or -13 F for you Americans out there). That's about the temperature of the city's hockey club at the moment too, Im afraid. The Flames have been outscored 11-3 in their last two losses, both at the hands of sub-play-off SE division teams. Hell ATL is in the running for John Tavares.
To be fair, the Flames are ravaged by injury and in the middle of their longest road trip of the season. The line-up included four farm hands (Van Der Gulik, Lundmark, Peters, Sutter) and Andre Roy Sunday afternoon, not to mention a couple of guys who hadn't yet practiced with their new club in Leopold and Jokinen. Even with a depleted roster, the Flames outshot the Thrashers and it was ony the anti-heroics of Miikka Kiprusoff that ensured the loss.
- Speaking of which, the Flames goaltending has been losing them games recently and Im not talking about Curtis McElhinney. Kipper had a really nice run in February when the rest of the club was battling through the doldrums, but he's fallen back down to earth recently. Hard. He has a sub .800 SV% in two of his last 4 starts, and those were both against really marginal competition (TBL and ATL). His overall SV% has shrunk to .906 again, good for 29th in the league behind such notable athletes as Jon Quick (.909), Alex Auld (.910), Ty Conklin (.914) and Chris Mason (.916).
Kipper has been coasting on the "benefit of the doubt" with a large portion of the fan base for awhile now, but that rope has run out for me - especially given his sizable salary. I'm at the stage where Kiprusoff has to prove he's an excellent goaltender again. There were some encouraging signs in Feb, as noted, but Im starting to suspect that was more a "good patch" than a return to form. Pretty much every starter in the league goes through a healthy string of games as long as they start enough of them. Just ask Joey MacDonald - from Nov. 8 - Nov.22, his consecutive SV%'s were: .906, .935, .967, .950, .969, .848, .946 (mean = 0.931). That's on the worst team in the league no less. The trick, of course, is to sustain it...MacDonald's seasonal SV% is .901 and he has the excuse of playing behind the NY Islanders.
Im sure I'll get some complaints or push back on this issue. For those Kipper supporters, I submit that you have three options when assessing the team and Kipper's thoroughly average SV%.
1.) The Flames are a terrible defensive squad and it's only Kipper's excellent goaltending that's keeping them from sinking to the very bottom of the league in terms of GA.
2.) The Flames are a capable defensive squad and Kipper's poor goaltending is actually costing them.
3.) The Flames are basically an average defensive squad and Kipper is no better than an average goaltender who is neither costing nor stealing the team points.
The first premise is nerely indefensible in my eyes. Calgary's SA/G average is middle of the pack (30/game), as is their average shot quality against according to Hockey numbers. In order to evoke a .906 SV% in an "elite goalie", the Flames would have to be a fairly terrible defensive club and there isn't any real evidence of that (unless you want to go the circular route and point to Kipper's SV% as proof).
I think the third premise is the most likely, especially in light of the club's stats listed above. The problem being that paying Kiprusoff the 5th highest goalie salary in the NHL to produce average results is really inefficient budgeting, especially in the current climate of probable future cap stagnation or deflation. Given his age, salary and NTC the organization's only course of action may be to pray that Kipper somehow reverses the downward spiral (although the probability of that occurring grows slimmer and slimmer by the day).
- Matthew Lombardi is 1-2-3 and +/- 0 since the trade. Olli Jokinen? 2-0-2 and -1. It's not meaningful in any way due to the tiny sample size but it is kinda funny.
For any lingering Lombardi supporters out there, it looks like he's landed in a fairly good situation in PHX: Gretzky has been playing him a lot (19, 20 and 23 minutes in his first 3 games) and with good players (Doan). It sucks moving from a contender to a pretender, but it might ultimately benefit Lombo in the long-run: he isn't stuck behind Langkow or Jokinen in the desert.
- Dion Phaneuf's GAON/60 rate is now the worst of any regular Flames skater. Yuck.
- Calgary begins their toughest leg of this trip versus the NJ Devils this evening. If the Flames weren't still 8 points up on Vancouver, I might be nervous. As it is, I'm just hoping for no more injuries.
You forgot to mention Langkows back for tonights game according to CalgaryHerald.com.
That should be a huge boost to that second and third line because it brings players of accurate calibre to each. I assume the lines will look something like:
Camm-Jokinen-Iggy Glencross-Langkow-Moss Lundmark-Conroy-Nystrom Sutter-Peters-Roy or something roughly to that tune (maybe switch Lundmark and Glencross to have more balanced line 2 and 3?
Langkow is a great 2nd liner (serviceable first liner) and should bring additional scoring with Glencross and particularily Moss by his side. Conroy moving down to the third provides that line with a veteran presence, good work ethic, and player with a hot hand. Its starting to look up boys and girls; can''t wait until Bourque is back, im giddy almost.
One area of question is why Sutter chose to send back DVDG instead of Sutter Jr. I think his mentality right now is to assess who is ready and helpful should they be needed for the playoffs. VDG has proven his value, I dont think anyone knows what to expect from Sutter or Peters yet. I dont agree with this idea right now as they really need a victory and VDG will increase the odds slightly better than Sutter but im not in charge...
Should be a good game tonight, hopefully i'm wrong but it will take a huge effort to avoid 3 straight ...
Hmm... Calgary herald sucks and wont open and the Flames webpage says hes still listed day to day with a hand injury but did send back DVDG. Weird, I hope im right but can confirm I read that and didnt just imagine it.
March 10 2009, 03:37PM
dvdg and young brett are both back with the qc today. langks and moss re-insertted. pardy (presumeably) the odd man out again.
@ walkinvisible: That would make sense, although I would rather see Pardy than Vandermeer. They arent terribly different but Vandermeers 2.3 mill just annoys me for similar production.

The Emery School District Board of Education honored their retirees from the district at their June budget meeting. Kirk Sitterud, superintendent, jokingly said the four retirees had enough and were retiring. He thanked them for their faithful service and said they would be missed. He presented each one with a clock remarking it was not enough for their service to the school children of this county. The retirees included: JJ Grant: 30 years with the Emery District and two years in Montana. He taught at Green River High School and San Rafael Junior High, and was the principal at San Rafael. For the past 11 years he has been the supervisor of secondary education at the district level. "He has been a great asset to me in the district office and I have depended on his expertise," said Sitterud.
For the last 11 years with declining enrollment the school district has faced many challenges.
LeRoy Maxfield is retiring after 16 years with the district, 12 years with the maintenance program and four years as the supervisor of the maintenance department. Sitterud said the maintenance of the school grounds and buildings is of vital importance. The school buildings are no longer new and their upkeep is a challenge. "We have a highly skilled crew and will miss LeRoy very much," said Sitterud.
Sandra Jeffs is retiring as an elementary educator after 21 years, 20 at Cottonwood and one year at Castle Dale. Sitterud said in all the years he worked at Cottonwood there was never one complaint about Mrs. Jeffs which is a high complement for a teacher.
Paulette Kelly is retiring after 21 years at Huntington Elementary. She worked as an educational assistant with the title one program for five years and the remainder as the school librarian.
"The support staff in the schools is very valuable, combined these retirees have 88 years of service. There is not any more important work in life than to influence children and we appreciate you and wish you well," said Sitterud.
Sitterud presented awards for the employees of the year. James Nelson is a teacher at Emery High and Sitterud said in talking to students JR is always listed as a favorite teacher. Nelson has been with the Emery district for 30 years and spent three years at San Juan.
He has taught well over 5,000 students and has been a coach and advisor. Sitterud said that Nelson is the only teacher who complains about the summer break. He loves being in the class room with the students. JR wants to teach forever and always jokes they will have to carry him out of the school in a pine box.
Olive McArthur a custodian at Canyon View Junior High is the support staff employee of the year. "She has touched the lives of thousand of students. She takes pride in the way the school looks. She not only keeps it clean but she decorates the school. Olive has an altruistic character and keeps the school beautiful and homey. She turns ordinary days into events.
"Olive carries out many random acts of kindness. She makes the school a better place to live and work. During the Crandall Canyon mine disaster, Olive very rarely left the school. She helped facilitate the care of the families," said Sitterud. He read portions of a letter prepared by school principal Larry Davis.
Jared Black, business administrator, gave a budget presentation to the board. A public hearing was held on the budget. Black said there are only two years left on the debt service. The board accepted the budget.
Sitterud spoke a little about performance bonuses, one time money appropriated by the legislature. The district is working out an assessment system to distribute the money to teachers who apply and meet certain criteria.
Sitterud asked the board to accept two letters of resignation from employees, Julie Seamons from the Ferron Elementary library and Bandi Olsen, teacher at Cleveland Elementary.
The board also approved the withdrawal of a letter of resignation from Jane Williams the English teacher at Green River High. She will remain in that position. Gwen Callahan was approved as the supervisor of secondary education to replace JJ Grant and she will start Aug. 1. Kerry Lake will replace LeRoy Maxfield beginning immediately as the maintenance supervisor. The board approved Chris Bell as the new head volleyball coach at Emery High.
The school board approved the funding for the new student built home for the 08-09 school year. They currently have an offer on the current house for $150,000.
Black said he made a mistake on the time of the Green River board meeting on the meeting schedule and will advertise it again at the correct time of 5 p.m.
The board gave their approval for disposal of surplus property of two buses and two cars.
The board opened the bids for the Emery High auditorium lighting bid. The original system is from the early 80s and it's hard to find parts for the fixtures. The board approved Oasis to do the project and they will begin the project in August just after opening institute. The lighting in the auditorium will be down for a month to complete the new lighting project.
The school board raised the price of breakfast at the schools by 10 cents. Lunch will raise by 10 cents at the elementaries and by 15 cents at the junior highs and high schools.
Sitterud reported the business office of the school district received an excellence in reporting award from the state office of education.
The district is looking for a family consumer science teacher for Green River High School. They are also looking for a full-time and part-time kindergarten teachers. Educational assistants are also needed and maintenance department openings.
Sitterud reported the state is headed for a teacher shortage.
In the next five years one third of the teachers in the county will retire and these positions are getting harder to fill.

Like for prime example, Shanks and company at the end of almost every arc, that little hint shows that Oda knows how to tell a story. Since once Shank's story is put together, it will display the back story of series.

The loss of Green Thumb funding the museum employees brought Jan Petersen to the commission to request help with employee pay. With the federal cuts, the museums are left with only two employees for maintenance and staffing. Petersen asked the commissioners to consider funding an employee for 20 hours a week at the minimum pay rate.
Commissioner Ira Hatch explained that with the annexation in Green River, some extra revenue from the Transient Room Tax is available for tourism development and Petersen should approach the travel bureau for help. The commissioners decided to fund the employee for now and that whatever money Petersen receives from the travel bureau would come back to the county.
Darrel Leamaster from Castle Valley Special Service District approached the commission for approval of the Community Impact Board priority list. Leamaster explained how the CIB operates and how the grants are obtained. He also explained the priority list and the projects on that list and how the rankings are made as to the immediate need of the project. The commissioners approved the list and instructed Leamaster to continue with the process.
During the concerned citizens portion of the meeting, Commissioner Hatch stated that the airport renovation project is shaping up nicely.
Sheriff Lamar Guymon reported that the county dump facility is closed on Monday and that many people have observed loaded vehicles traveling the road to the dump, loaded and coming back empty. The officers have noted a rise in the amount of dumping of trash in the cedars along the road to the DesBee mine or at the gate to the dump. Commissioner Gary Kofford responded that this is a big problem and a solution is being discussed.
Commissioner Kofford recommended the commission reappoint the current members to the planning commission. Glenys Sitterud and Michael McCandless were approved to be reappointed. Commissioner Kofford also suggested that a level 3 permit be issued to Mac's Mining in Huntington. A public hearing date for this was set for April 20 at 10 a.m.
Sheriff Guymon requested permission and funding for two officers to accompany Lisa Johnson, the wife of Jeremiah Johnson who was killed while on duty last year, to Washington D.C. The May 13-17 ceremonies will be the unveiling of names on the Peace Officers Memorial, who were lost during the previous year. Two officers will accompany Johnson to this ceremony, and also participate in and represent the Emery County Sheriff's Office at the ceremony.
Along with the unveiling, a candlelight service and mass will be held for the fallen officers. The commissioners approved to send the two officers with Johnson.
County Attorney David Blackwell recommended the commission consider rewriting and updating the business ordinance for the county. He explained that in 1985, parts of the ordinance were challenged, and as a result had to be stricken from the ordinance. The commissioners instructed Blackwell to do the proposed revisions and bring it back to them.
Of the four applications to the travel bureau that were received, the commissioners approved the appointment of Sheriff Lamar Guymon to the vacancy. Commissioner Kofford announced that a walkthrough for the county building would be held on March 25. This walkthrough is a premliminary step for the remodel project. He requested that any employee with suggestions for the project, to bring it to the commissioners attention.
Commissioner Kofford also explained that he has met with Head Start concerning the old sheriff's office building. The building has some major problems that need to be addressed. It is his feeling that this space is not appropriate for a school and he suggests that the commission suggest that Head Start look elsewhere for space.
The next commission meeting will be held April 6 at 4 p.m.
