love these!
"I love these shoes! I bought them a couple of weeks ago in the store and now I wear them with everything. These are my first pair of Converse, and I have to admit I was a little hesitant to buy Converse in the past, but I haven't had any second thoughts since taking them home.The distressed canvas fits to my foot/ankle for the perfect custom fit. I normally wear a 10.5, but had to choose a 10 in these since Converse doesn't offer 1/2 sizes. However, there is still a little room to spare so there are no issues.I think it's great that they already appeared to be loved when they came out of the box, makes it easy to pair with any casual look. Great for wearing to work on a casual Friday or out on the town for a weekend. Just cuff the jeans and you're set. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great sneaker."

Over the next 11 months, the State Board will vote on 428 changes to regulations affecting public education in New Jersey. The proposed changes were contained in the final report of the Education Transformation Task Force.
The task force was created by Gov. Chris Christie last year; its charge was to review administrative code (regulation) and state statute (law) in an effort to reduce unnecessary regulation of school districts. Former N.J. Commissioner of Education David Hespe, who also served as current Commissioner of Education Chris Cerf's chief of staff until last month, chaired the task force. Hespe presented the final report to the State Board of Education at its September meeting. He stated his belief that bureaucracy stifles innovation in our schools and that a "culture of overregulation" makes some educators believe that compliance, rather than student achievement, is what makes a school a success.
The recommendations were divided into seven categories. According to Hespe, the regulatory changes are intended to:
While some of the proposed changes are welcomed by NJEA members, such as the removal of a requirement to base the number of custodians in a school building on a square footage calculation, others could undermine quality education. Examples include the easing of class size requirements in low-performing districts or changes that could weaken New Jersey's high-quality special education programs.
NJEA is currently reviewing the report in detail and analyzing each recommendation.
Although it has not yet been introduced, the Department of Education has written administrative code based on the task force's recommendations and presented an aggressive schedule for adopting the rest of the recommended regulatory changes, starting in October with code for teacher certification and professional development. A second set of code proposals is scheduled for introduction in November and a third set is scheduled for February.
Regulatory changes only have to go through the state board code adoption process, which takes about six months to complete. The process includes opportunities for public input; NJEA will provide testimony on the proposals when appropriate. NJEA members will also be encouraged to contact State Board of Education members regarding these recommendations.
The task force also recommended 46 changes to statutes, although these changes would be more difficult to implement than regulatory ones. Any changes would have to go through the legislative process: bills would need to be introduced followed by committee hearings and floor votes in both houses of the legislature.
Many of these recommendations simply reflect Gov. Christie's controversial education agenda, including passage of the Opportunity Scholarship Act and ending seniority rights for educators.

Bath have made two changes to their starting side for Friday's Aviva Premiership clash with Northampton Saints at the Recreation Ground.
Bath have made two changes to their starting XV for Friday's Premiership clash with Northampton at the Rec.
Paul James comes in at loosehead, with Nathan Catt switching to the bench. James joins Lee Mears and David Wilson in the front-row, with Stuart Hooper and Dominic Day continuing their partnership in the engine room. Simon Taylor, Carl Fearns and Ben Skirving complete the pack.
The other change comes in the centres, with Ben Williams coming in for the injured Matt Banahan. Williams starts at inside centre, with Dan Hipkiss outside him, as Olly Barkley and Michael Claassens are once again selected in the half-back positions. Tom Biggs and Kyle Eastmond, who both crossed the try line last weekend in the victory over Wasps, are named on the wings, with Nick Abendanon completing the line-up at 15.
With both teams unbeaten so far, coach Gary Gold knows that Friday will be a stern test for Bath.
"Northampton are a very strong side, who have made a good start to the competition. We all know about their strength in the forwards, but they also back that up with some hugely skilful backs who can attack from anywhere on the field," said Gold.
"We were pleased with the performance against Wasps, but know there is still more we can do to improve and we have been working hard on this. It's these big games that you want to be involved in – as a player and as a coach – and whilst it will be a big challenge for us tomorrow night, we are looking forward to it."
Meanwhile, England lock Courtney Lawes returns on the Northampton bench while Stephen Myler is chosen at fly-half.
Director of rugby Jim Mallinder says that Bath will provide a "big challenge" for his players.
"They have started the season very well. In Round 1 they came from a long way behind and held their nerve to win at Sixways, while against Wasps last weekend they put together some dangerous attacking moves," said Mallinder.
"The Rec is always a tough place to play. It is a place where the fans are right on top of you and where it can be intimidating for visiting teams. So it is up to us as to how we respond, and we believe that we can do that in the right way.
"At times in our first two games we have played well and scored good tries. But we have also been guilty of not finishing games off and this is something we will be looking to improve. Despite having only had a five-day turnaround between matches out training has been very positive and all of the players are determined to keep our good start to the season going this Friday."
Form: Bath have won their opening two games of the 2012/13 Aviva Premiership Rugby season, overcoming Worcester and Wasps. Bath's most recent two victories at The Rec have now both been against London Wasps. Northampton Saints have also begun with back to back victories over Gloucester and Exeter – the first time the Saints have begun a season with a pair of wins since 2004/05. Northampton have won their last three away games in the regular season. Northampton achieved the Premiership double over Bath last season, including a first victory at The Rec since 2005.
The teams:
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Kyle Eastmond, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Ben Williams, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Olly Barkley, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Carl Fearns, 6 Simon Taylor, 5 Dominic Day, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 3 David Wilson, 2 Lee Mears, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Dave Attwood, 20 Josh Ovens, 21 Mark McMillan, 22 Ollie Devoto, 23 Jack Cuthbert.
Northampton Saints: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Ken Pisi, 13 Dom Waldouck, 12 Luther Burrell, 11 Vasily Artemyev, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 Rhys Oakley, 7 Tom Wood, 6 Phil Dowson, 5 Christian Day, 4 Samu Manoa, 3 Tom Mercey, 2 Dylan Hartley (c), 1 Soane Tonga'uiha.
Replacements: 16 Mike Haywood, 17 Alex Waller, 18 Paul Doran Jones, 19 Mark Sorenson, 20 Courtney Lawes, 21 Martin Roberts, 22 Ryan Lamb, 23 Tom May.

Monday holidays are great if you work for a place that grants them — or if you own a store, restaurant or business that benefits when people look for things to do and places to spend money on during a long weekend.
But by moving many holidays from their actual or original anniversary dates to a Monday, the original purpose of the holiday can get lost. As in, the what-are-we-commemorating? question can get lost.
Like today. Veterans Day.
I've got nothing against veterans. In fact, I slept with one last night. I even brushed his teeth. And the night before too. And will again for the rest of my days. I can't shake the guy!

Veterans are great. Some more than others. But they did things — or gave up time — that most people today didn't and don't have to do.
But this holiday didn't start out as Veterans Day. It was originally known as Armistice Day. It commemorated the end of World War I, when the shooting was supposed to stop at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The war killed millions of military personnel and civilians too. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars, but it really set the stage for World War II. And others that came later.
One of the many tragedies of World War I was the timing when hostilities were to cease. The Germans were pretty well worn out and ready to call it a day. But some zealous British, French and American commanders wanted to push until the last minute to gain more territory, more glory before the shooting stopped. Although most people knew of the 11 a.m. deadline, thousands died in last-minute actions. One of them was a British officer named Fleming whose young son, Ian Fleming, would grow up to write the James Bond books. All in all, an estimated 10,000 men were killed that last day, including American Army Pvt. Henry Gunther who was shot dead at 10:59 a.m, one minute before the ceasefire.
The last American veteran of World War I died in February 2011.
So have a nice holiday. Take a vet to lunch. But remember, it wasn't always celebrated on a Monday and it had another name for a long time. 11- 11-11 still should mean something.

Excellent For Dry HairI took my 7 year old daughter to the hair shop, and a beautician was saying how beautiful her hair was. She said her ends are frizzy which is not retaining moisture so she said you should get porosity hair conditioner and use. I started researching and there were great reviews. I went to Sally's and I found Roux Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner, which I thought would be better for her hair because when reading porosity conditioner by Roux it seems to be for chemically treated hair which she does not have.
I bought it a week ago and just used it Sunday on my daughter's hair, It worked excellent!!!! The combing out process was totally easy, no crying, no fusing nothing. Then I twisted her hair up the next morning a took the twist out her hair was absolutely beautiful, I did not see a frizz or a split end and her ends were moisturized!!
The smell is not anything to brag about while washing but the results were amazing! I went to Sally's yesterday they are having a sale, hopefully they are not discontinuing but I must say I bought 5 bottles of 5 bottles of conditioner. It worked miracles for my daughter's hair. Yes I would recommend.Mar 18, 2014Renee I. / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Where Have You Been All My Life!I have been struggling to retain the moisture in my hair since I moved to LA. I don't have a relaxer, I manage my natural hair.
At the time, I was maintaining my hair myself every 2 weeks with a wash and deep condition treatment of Frizz-Ease Smooth Start and a heat protectant because I was doing a flat iron style but then it seemed like my hair made a turn for the worse. It felt like paper and the ends were frizzy and rough.
I decided to start rocking my natural hair, did some research on a few of my favorite natural hair blogs and came across this product on MopTop Maven. I haven't looked back. My hair felt 100x softer the first time I used it but the second time it was 1000x softer and this is without using the shampoo. This is just with the conditioner!
Yes it's a little on the expensive side but to be honest it could be a lot worse. Your hair is worth it, right?
My hair is on its way to recovery and this is definitely a new staple product of mine. I would recommend this to any who feels their hair is starving for moisture.Jul 21, 2011Gabe / Los AngelesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Skip to comments.Shallow Men And The Women Who Suffer (The Male Lust For The Supermodel Perfect Mate Alert)
Posted on 03/18/2006 7:03:00 PM PST by goldstategop
The miracle of Purim owes much to a superficial, womanizing male who set about dating as many women as possible to find the one that was the most beautiful. Ahasuerus is like so many shallow men today who reduce women to nothing but a slim figure and a pretty face. But in the end, the story of Esther makes it clear that the secretly Jewish queen was chosen not for her looks, but because she "found grace and favor" in the eyes of all who beheld her. There was a womanly dignity, a sublime feminine majesty, to Esther that the rest of the harem lacked. They were empty suits, packaging only, without substance or personality. They were the kind of women who attract attention with low-cut blouses rather than high intelligence, short skirts rather than a lofty spirit. But Esther is a woman possessed both of outer and inner beauty, a heroine who exhibits uncommon wisdom, courage and dedication to the helpless. In short, she is a woman of outstanding character and her story is that of the triumph not only of the Jews over their enemies, but also of a woman's ability to win over a man with her brains rather than her bust.
How tragic, therefore, that Jewish men today have adopted the dating mores of Ahasuerus. And I'm not just talking about secular Jewish men whom we might expect to have adopted less lofty criteria in their choice of a mate. Rather, I am speaking especially of Orthodox Jewish men who have become so obsessed with the three modern virtues of a real woman - large chest, long legs, slim figure - that heart, mind, even the sparkle of her eyes, count for almost nothing.
I once served as matchmaker-in-chief for JDate. But I now find matchmaking nauseating thanks to the dispiriting superficiality of today's Jewish men. I now know that the countless men who tell me how desperate they are to find a really nice girl are lying through their teeth because what they really mean is a woman who looks like a model. At my weekly Sabbath table, where I host many singles, I watch as the men immediately dismiss even the most interesting women with the warmest hearts if they lack a bombshell body.
If she's short, she's out, and if she's overweight, well, that's the kiss of death. I'll set up men with women who I know to be attractive and charming, only to have the guy call me back the next day and complain of a lack of chemistry, by which he always means, "She wasn't pretty enough." The poor woman never had a chance. Before she opened her mouth, her body did her in.
BUT WHY would we expect anything different? Superficial people seek superficial qualities, and men today are about as deep as a crack in the sidewalk. They have been given one criterion for success, money, and they use that money as a commodity to purchase a woman's chief commodity, her physical beauty. Today's religious men are trained to appreciate little else.
I know a 20-year-old Jewish girl who developed a dangerous eating disorder because her very religious parents told her that unless she lost weight the type of yeshiva student they wanted her to marry would not take her out.
But weren't Jewish men, especially Orthodox ones, supposed to be different? The nation that gave the world's Solomon's Ode to a Woman of Valor, where a woman's God-fearing qualities are what make her beautiful, have betrayed that ideal utterly. If you are a woman in the Jewish singles scene who isn't stunningly attractive, you're going to wait a long time to get married. And once you're married, you better keep your looks up, because the women who are going to be praying with you in the ladies' section spend five hours in the gym for every hour they spend in the synagogue. They're not fools. They know that their husbands are trained to appreciate muscle tone rather than piety. And don't have more than two children, even though we need as many Jewish babies as possible, because kids will make your figure go to hell and your breasts droop almost as far.
NEVER believed that I would witness a time when even marriage-minded, Orthodox men would become womanizers, giving themselves the latitude to date as many women as possible so that they can find "the best." In yeshiva I was taught one did not date a woman the way one shopped for a car. Rather, you focused on one woman completely and tried to develop a soulful connection with her without worrying about what else might be out there.
Recently, I had a young rabbinical student of marriageable age at my home. He told me he had already dated 40 girls and had not found what he was looking for. I was stunned. "Forty nice, religious girls, and not one of them was good enough for you?"
But anyone familiar with the increasingly toxic shidduch system among the ultra-Orthodox knows that what many young men are looking for is anathema to Jewish values, namely, looks, money and pedigree. Find all three and you have hit the jackpot. Find only one, or even two, and you have "to settle."
Now, no doubt, in the secular world marrying money and marrying into an important family are also important. But when religious Jews marry for materialistic and ego-driven values, they degrade a glorious spiritual tradition.
It is high time that rabbis started giving sermons from the pulpit exhorting single men in the congregation to be gentlemen and reward women for developing the traits that Judaism truly values like compassion, wisdom and goodness. While physical attraction is always important in marriage - both for men and for women - Jewish leaders must begin inspiring future husbands to judge their wives' attractiveness by considerations beyond flesh alone. For if we fail, we'll continue seeing Jewish women feeling permanently insecure about their "imperfect bodies" rather than taking pride in their generous spirits.

Marking for later viewing of pictures....
Could be Jewish.
That last paragraph is great. And it should apply to the Jew AND Gentile.
Thanks for the thread!
Typical man-hating garbage article. Naturally, you couldn't publish a woman-hating diatribe like this without the world coming down on you.
But no problem calling all men shallow. That's cool.
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
The comments are good, except for one thing.
Young men can be coached to do the right thing, but young men cannot make young women make the right choices. Today's women are being sold a bill of goods by the media elites, that no young man can combat.
Try telling a young woman her breasts are heavenly and she doesn't need augmentation. She'll tell you your full of it and go ahead with her plans.
Take a look at what young women are signing off on these days. Where in the past people urged them to do things that weren't right, today's women have minds of their own, and most guys are powerless to tell them anything.
I've experienced some of this myself over the years.
OK everybody, time out, and ask just one simple question:
Why....to the deepest depths of Why, as in just why is it that
We guys prefer: full bosom, tiny waist, long legs on a woman. Who ordained, who prescribed that this should be so?
Think carefully... the answer may not be as shallow as thou thinkest.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
LEAVING NOW! I'm a Gramma for Pete's sake! :)
"no matter how beautiful she is, someone, somewhere, wishes she'd never been born."
And, of course, someone has to post this:
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
"Supermodels" are often quite grotty. Along with a lot of other female celebs out there.
There are guys who marry for looks. I think they're fools.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Well, the answer seems to be "Society," since the ideals have changed with the times and conditions. In the past, women with large waists have been favored, for example. Sometimes it can indicate a woman who is better nourished and will yield healthier offspring.
"If you just sit in front of a scary computer 10 hours a day waiting for cindy crawford + brain to come waltzing [in] and invite you to an evening of skydiving and sex, you're going to be dissapointed." --Connie Deighan
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
A 'what I've been trying to tell you and don't give me the same old song and dance in response because I won't listen' ping
Miss you!
Yeah. I too would not judge a woman by looks. Yes it certainly would be nice if she looked good but compared to who she is, looks are secondary.
That is quite possibly the funniest quote I have read in a decade.
(wiping away tears)
I don't think this is true. Rather, I believe it is the opposite that is more accurate. Generally speaking, it is women, not men, that are more concerned with finding the perfect "10".
Most guys are happy dating an "average looking" woman as long as she puts out a lot and makes an effort to please him.
The idea that all men want a perfect "10" is nothing more than propaganda from men-hating feminists. Most women are more than happy to accept the propaganda since it helps with their "self esteem". After all, it's easier to justify a $5000 boob job when "all men are pigs" (fiction) instead of "I'm a self-centered superficial gold digger planning to use my bigger tits to land a guy that is a "10" with money" (reality).
Ya all go to the nearest mall or other place with lots of people. Take notice of just how few women in the crowds actually look like supermodels. Darn few. If 50% of us are men and 50% are women and only 1% of them are supermodel material, well, you fill in the blanks. And BTW, most of the men aren't hunks either.
I actually prefer women who are attractive, yet not supermodel material.
I almost hate to say it, but that's not universally true. Many women today are looking for money, status, or the indefinable 'Alpha Male' quality that only a few men posess, and won't settle for a guy who's decent, reliable, kind, and puts the seat down.
My generation craves hairless, tanned, toned, smooth men who get manicures and smell nice, and who won't argue with the women in their life. The feminists tell us that this is the only kind of man that will make us happy.
Close, but Who or what created the Ur-ideal of woman? Is it the result of historical cyclicity, or is there a deep instinctual imperative from which the perfect notion of Woman flows?
My own theory is that human nature is a sublime confluence of the animal and the Divine, made manifest in the bodily appearances of male and female. It is the latter that is most celebrated.
Not an original idea. Check out the Song of Songs.
LOL! That is one of the biggest "socially accepted" lies going around.
Thank you, Dr. Freud for that free analysis.
Your friends, if you have any, don't think you're judgemental, do they?
***Over a century ago the ideal was a full figured woman neither too fat nor too thin.***
At that time a fat woman was considered healthy. A thin woman probably had TB, worms or some other serious health problem.
And in the Song of Songs, the beloved woman had a belly like a heap of wheat...so maybe fat was okay for Solomon, eh?
If only I could clone myself...then all manly men would be happy.
NEVER believed that I would witness a time when even marriage-minded, Orthodox men would become womanizers, giving themselves the latitude to date as many women as possible so that they can find "the best." In yeshiva I was taught one did not date a woman the way one shopped for a car. Rather, you focused on one woman completely and tried to develop a soulful connection with her without worrying about what else might be out there.
Sure, I guess we are supposed to just accept the first woman we run into, ....and her big ass? I don't think so!
Men are not looking for a dream-woman, just someone who doesn't come with their own zip-code, who can cook, knows when to shut up, and a few other things. Women no longer think that most of that is necessary anymore, so they can just marry Oprah.
Let's face it, guys are hardwired to want one thing in a mate: LOOKS.And this exchange...
And women are hardwired to want one thing too: STATUS.
Both sexes of the human race suck. All people suck! "Misfortune comes from having a body" as Lao Tzu said. Not that it matters anyway, cause we're all dying at the rate of one second per second, and in the end it's all for nothing because these tremendous big brains full of dreams and wishes become worm food, and we are released from selfhood into oblivion. --"Tucker"
Martian Anthropologist:
Men are scum. It's in the genes. It may be a lot harder for a man to find a girlfriend than it is for a woman to find herself a boyfriend, but it's also a lot harder for a woman to find a *good* boyfriend than it is for a man to find a good girlfriend. The only hope a woman has is finding a man who knows enough about evolutionary psychology to despise his own genetic programming.
*Sigh.* You know why [many] men are scum, Martian Anthropologist? Because [many] women, despite all their whinging and griping about how they want a caring, honest and loyal guy, tend to go for the bright plumage and aggressive display--leaving Mister S.N.A.G. [Sensitive New Age Guy] to sit at home on a Friday night watching Law & Order: SVU. After enough repeat episodes, Mr. S.N.A.G. finally ups and decides there's no percentage in it, and starts acting like all the jerks who're actually getting some.
Bitter, me? No, not really. Why do you ask?
And I agree, David, men are told that being sweet and nice is the way to go and for some reason women keep going for the guy who is a jerk. I think it is the challange, just like most men try to end up with women who are model material.
Silicone babies?
The media ordained it. In renaissance times the more robust women were the idea of perfection (just check out the paintings) - not an anorexic, oversized boob chick to be found.
Think about THAT carefully!
Truer words, never written.
The good Rabbi is right on the target. His only sins (in this article) are sins of ommission. I would be very surprised if this dominance of superficial dating criteria was solely a male attribute. Just as surely as this phenomenon exists outside the Jewish community, it exists in females as well as males.
This is a particularly American problem, and a particularly 21st century American problem at that. I don't know what the answer is, but the problem is more than evident.
OK, I'll settle for a little less then [sadly putting away the parachute].
RWOS ping
If I'd gotten a dollar for every girl who had dumped me in earlier years, only to come back after realizing they guy she'd gone for was a narcissistic loser...well, then maybe I'd have had enough dollars to afford all the kids of jerks I would have been raising for them!
It's not that it's not necessary, maybe it's just that your sales pitch needs work.

Comments: I fish the speed worm on small jig heads and catch a lot of fish on them. My only problem with them is the fish jumps and shakes and the paddle tail flies off. I spend to much time changing baits.

Roboworm FX Sculpins
9 Colors
More From Roboworm Worms
Customer Reviews
Comments: I always keep a supply of FX worms in my bag when bass fishing. The Ayu on sunny days with lightly stained water is almost a guaranteed fish. Nose hook them on #4 Owner Mosquito/Gama DS hooks on a drop shot and watch the action/FX effect in the water when you give it a twitch.
From: Sonny: NorCal
Comments: These really are amazing. We always get a load of spots with these. 1/2 day trips average 20 spotted bass. Seems all colors do the trick
From: Tom: Magalia, N. Cal
Comments: The detailing on these worms are incredible. With pressured, super clear waters where the bass have already seen roboworms, these can do some real damage. They float high on a shakyhead. Although they are more durable than the original (one account of their thickness), they do tear easily. Overall great product for a decent price.
Comments: This bait just gets crushed when the fish bite it. Aarons magic and baby bass are my favorite colors. I like to fish this bait Texas rigged with elite tungsten weights.
From: Jimmy: Biloxi, MS
Comments: I love to fish this bait. it absolutly gets hit. I like to fish it weightless wacky.
From: Chuck: North Bergen, NJ
Comments: One of the best down shot worms out there! Lots of water movement with the unique tail design. Fish it lightly nose hooked with a small Mosquito hook paired to 5 lb. fluorocarbon line and shake away for lots of bites!
From: David, Huntington Beach, CA, USA 7/04

It's either Luffy beat up Moria to get back his shadow, or Luffy beat up Oz, and get back his shadow. I feel that Luffy's not the type to go 8v1 (honest question: has something happened like that before?). Iirc, Luffy always says 'I'll take care of that one!' and he does it. He wants to be the pirate king remember? He needs to be the most powerful man so he can protect his nakama. He'll do it alone. Either Moria or Oz. -nods- I'd rather it be Oz, more interesting!
Oz seems rather overpowered, but Luffy can do ittttttttttt!
If it's Luffy vs Moria, maybe it'll be the rest of the team vs Oz to keep him from interfering with L v M's fight.
(PS: Please pardon any untruths in this small paragraph, it's been years since I first read one piece, can't expect me to remember everything )

Two youth groups from the Salt Lake area recently converged on Emery County to try their hand at pushing and pulling a handcart up and down East Mountain.
One-hundred sixty-nine people from the Taylorsville/Kearns Stake as well as the Alpine 4th Ward made the trek in two separate parties.
It took the Alpine Ward three days to travel 16 miles. Lisa Caldwell from the Taylorsville group said, "We heard about doing this trek from some people in Salt Lake.
Montell Seely from Castle Dale had made arrangements for them. We broke the group into nine families which have a Ma and Pa youth leader, and a Grandpa and Grandma which are the adult leaders.
Each family has 12 kids." The youth and their leaders all dressed in pioneer attire to make their journey more realistic.
One of the girls from the Alpine Ward said, "The food was terrible on the trek, it's time to order up a pizza." Both groups ended their journey at the Desbee Dove mine site. The Taylorsville group had plans to view the Castle Valley Pageant while in the area and the Alpine group stopped at the famous Emery County lamb fry for dinner before returning to the city.

16 Traits Recruiters are Looking For59 Comments
Excerpted from the bestselling book – Confessions of a "Hardass" – An insider's advice on passing your law enforcement pre-employment interview.
When a law enforcement or corrections agency interviews you, what is really happening is that they are deciding how well you fit in with the people, the mission and the daily work environment of the organization. Each agency has aspirations of greatness – the leaders, managers and the career minded officers / deputies and staff all want what is best for the agency – and that translates to the best people possible to work beside them. They judge these areas by exploring your background – usually starting in high school, through your education and of course your employement and personal history.
Some of these traits will also be judged by volunteer and neighborhood activities, and even hobbies. After exploring your background, they will ask stressful scenario questions, aimed at giving them information on how to rate you, without you even being aware of it. Everyone I've ever interviewed for a law enforcement position told the interview panel what we needed to know about all 16 of these areas, whether they were aware of it or not. Of course, no one is expected to be perfect. But the closer you can get to "10" in each of these areas through answering the questions that will be asked, the better your chances of being hired.
Here are the traits and principles involved in oral interviews and assessments. Give yourself a 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) for each one. Think honestly about your life, your work history, volunteer history, hobbies, your education and everything else about you, and then ask yourself inwardly some very tough questions about each of these areas. As an example, have you ever been detained, ticketed or arrested by the police? If yes, one or more of these areas will give the board critical information – so BE PREPARED! Since no one is looking over your shoulder, rate yourself honestly in order to see how how well or poorly you do, so you will be able to focus on the areas needing the most improvement.
1) Trustworthiness – can the applicant be relied upon to do what they say they will do? Will they fabricate stories to cover their errors or inadequacies? Will they be where they are told to be and do what they are told to do, even in difficult circumstances?
2) Honesty – A statement from a police officer in this country is enough to put people in jail for a long time. In a one-on-one confrontation, an officer's word is still accepted as truth unless clearly refuted by other sufficient, credible evidence. This is a great deal of power – does this applicant show the ability to state the truth – even if it negatively affects them or other officers? Will the applicant even stand up to authority to state the truth when it is difficult to do, and going along with a lie is a better course of action? Will the applicant join a conspiracy because it is much more difficult, in their view, to lose the friendship, trust and respect of other officers?
3) Leadership – Being a leader is not often something you can choose to be or not be. In law enforcement, each officer becomes a leader in the performance of helping people to solve problems and work through difficult situations. Does the applicant seem willing to take on extra responsibility? Do they limit the positions they wish to work in because of the level of responsibility? Do they refuse advanced assignments because of perceptions of difficulty or fear of failure?

Connect with 20/20:
Morteza Talebi is bright, quick and eager to talk. His enthusiasm for what he has created is contagious, his tone friendly and his manners impeccable. He doesn't miss a beat, effortlessly filling the conversation with the details of his newest business venture. Talebi is, in fact, a charming and solicitous host—one who would never allow a client to walk away with a bad fit or an unflattering style."We had this guy come in... he was in the entertainment industry. And he wanted me to tighten his frames so they would no longer slide down his face," says Talebi. "But what I saw was not a pair of frames that needed to be tightened. I saw frames that needed to be opened for a better fit. So that's what I did. And the guy was amazed. He told his assistant to take a handful of business cards and pass them out to people they know."In the spirit of "they'll tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on, and so on..." Talebi hopes the structure, design and philosophy of Optical Café will strike a chord with clientele. Still less than a year old, this smartly finished optical showcase is warm, friendly and inviting. By taking a decidedly non-clinical approach to high-end eyewear, this optician has created a space that emphasizes the artistry of well-made frames and celebrates the energy that is so uniquely L.A., and more specifically, Beverly Hills.Situated on a high-traffic stretch of Beverly Drive, Optical Café is just a few blocks south and a million miles away from the tourist-rich shops of Rodeo Drive. "I originally did not want to be in Beverly Hills. I thought it was not my cup of tea," he says. "But when I saw this, I knew. I said this is where we want to be. It is a street where people who live in Beverly Hills do their shopping. I wanted to find a place that would give me a steady clientele and repeat business. Once people know my work, they keep coming back. And the response to what we've done here has been great."When a place successfully embraces its surroundings, it's hard to image the concept carrying over to another city, another location—and to that point, Optical Café is so clearly a good fit for its neighborhood. Large front windows offer passing traffic—on foot or behind the wheel—a peek inside where a sophisticated blend of materials and contemporary styling highlight the character and design of nearly 1,000 frames. Though the dispensary is just 600 square feet, the interior is open and the custom cabinetry and artful displays promise a unique shopping experience."We have already begun to see people again who were here in the first month or two that we opened," he says. "They are coming back now for a second pair."Not content to simply move into an existing shop, Talebi gutted the space. Working with Atlaschi and Associates, a local architectural firm, Talebi was able to realize his vision for a warm and cozy spot where people could shop or simply stop by for a cappuccino or espresso at the coffee bar. "We thought it would take three months and X amount of dollars to complete," he says. "But is took twice as long and twice as much money."Punctuated with satinwood veneer finishes and brushed aluminum, the custom cabinetry is against faux painted walls designed to resemble brushed suede. A dark stained beech hardwood floor stands against travertine marble insets, while dramatic lighting draws the eyes up and into the displays. Café table and chairs line a front corner and offer a comfortable respite from the go go go that is so typically Los Angeles.Though his original dream was to study architecture, Talebi—like so many students paying their own way—took some time off from school to earn a bit of money. He found himself sitting down with a counselor at Valley Medical College explaining that he needed to learn some sort of trade so he could work and make money and go back to architecture school. The counselor took off his glasses and said, "Why don't you do this?" Talebi never looked back.He spent a few years working in the field and then in 1980 he opened his own business. One thing led to another and in 1999 MT Optical- Opticians was born. Specializing in custom lab work, MT Optical-Opticians continues to do lab work for neighboring dispensaries, including Optical Café. Though his brother Mustafa manages the lab, Talebi continues to handle some of the more specialized work, including three-piece rimless mounts.Optical Café carries a range of high-end frame collections, including Gucci, Fendi, Oliver Peoples, Paul Smith, Prada and Marc Jacobs. The average complete Rx sale is in excess of $600 and the average sunglass sale is $350."Our customers are young, some in their 20s, the next generation—and they come to us looking for these brands," he says. "The only brand they ask for that we don't have yet is Chanel. Everybody wants Chanel, but we're new and they aren't opening new accounts."No doubt that will change soon. And when it does, Talebi will be right in step. For this optician, it is always a work in progress. "We've been open seven months, but I feel like we are still not done. We have to upgrade the air conditioner, and I'm looking for a couple of chairs...You know, it is very hard to find good furniture."If the work he's done so far on Optical Café is any indication, Talebi will find his chairs—and perhaps, maybe, even his Chanel.

Chris Pronger signs on as Pfizer spokesman
April 01 2008 09:09AM
Anaheim Ducks Captain Chris Pronger's on-again-off-again relationship with the Pfizer Corporation has taken another turn today as sources indicate that the 34-year-old hockey player will become a spokesman for the product in a three-year deal commencing in the fall of 2008. Joining other spokesmen including Political Pundit Rush Limbaugh and former Presidential hopeful Bob Dole, Pronger will apparently earn an amount "near or equal to sponsorship opportunities lost over recent years."
Agent Don Baizley confirms: "There have been some conversations with Chris and the Pfizer Corporation. Chris has been undergoing a program that was originally prescribed by doctors in St Louis designed to prevent the wrist injury he suffered in 2002 which required surgery."
Following his departure from Edmonton in the summer of 2006, Pronger severed all ties with Pfizer/Viagra claiming that the prescription medication led to "difficulties in his personal life" at which point doctors recommended he leave the harsh Northern Canadian climate for the sunny beaches of Anaheim.
"Chris exemplifies the Viagra family," read a statement issued earlier today by the Pfizer Corporation. "He is a former star athlete who is in the autumn of his career, and seeks the virility and energy he had in his earlier years, when he was most effective as a hockey player."
Oh thats too good
ha ha ha wrist injury
What is this all about? Don't get the innuendo.
Oh too good. The innuendos are endless...
hahahahahahaha aaaaahahahaahahahaahaha!!! Viagra would explain the difficulties in his personal life. wink wink.... Happy April fools!
On a more serious note, a BIG game tonight. Everyone prey to your hockey Gods for a big 2 pts tonight. GO OILERS GO I BELIVE!
hahaha WHAT!!?? Funniest thing I've seen all day. Cheers Gretz.
Oh yeah, this is good stuff. Only the OilersNation would write this. I hope Pronger reads it and whats left of his black heart breaks in two.
"He is a former star athlete who is in the autumn of his career"

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Canyon View Junior High Cougars hosted the San Rafael Bulldog football team last Wednesday seeking to avenge an earlier in the season 2-point loss. They succeeded as they defeated San Rafael 22-8 in a game that saw a lot of offense but also some turnovers.
Both teams scored on their first possession of the game. For the Cougars, it was 9-yard run on a counter play by Mike Jones. For the Bulldogs, it was a 9-yard run by Jordon Gee.
Canyon view scored two more times in the game as Jones scored again on another 9-yard counter play and quarterback Blake Mortenson threw a 4-yard pass to tight end Justin Miller for another score.
Both teams were able to put some offense on to the field but turnovers hindered the scoring of San Rafael. In the second half, the Bulldogs turned the ball over three times, twice on fumbles and once on an interception.
Talking with assistant coach Chris Justice after, he said "We battled adversity all season but this team never quit. They executed the game plan really well and they played hard. The kids listened at half time and then went out and did it. They deserve this."
The loss did not affect the Bulldogs league championship as they finished at 4-2 this season. Canyon View will battle Mont Harmon Wednesday for the opportunity to tie for second. The game is in Huntington at the school field.

Don Cherry confused me, Episode III
Cam Charron
November 13 2011 02:09PM
Welcome to 'Don Cherry confused me', a Sunday-morning feature that will chronicle the silly things that Don Cherry says the night before on Coach's Corner. The feature will focus on Cherry's out-dated focus on the game and attempt to get him to understand that things happen in hockey a little bit differently than he remembers them.
Episode Three: Who are you going to war with?
"The worst you can do is get your star player killing penalties"
This is in reference to Tim Connolly, one of Don Cherry's favourites, getting injured blocking a shot on a penalty kill, presumably. Other situations wherein Connolly has gotten hurt: Even strength, powerplay, penalty shots, time outs, and team dinners.
Either way, Phil Kessel doesn't kill penalties. The Vancouver Canucks last season, who had the top penalty kill until the final day on the season, had Cherry's boys Kevin Bieksa and Dan Hamhuis on the ice suck up time, and quite arguably their best player Ryan Kesler kill a bunch too. Some players are befit to a PK role, whether good defensively or not. It's not like Connolly was sucking up minutes in Toronto—He's 1:04 PK time per game so far this season, or fifth most on the team among forwards.
"You know who you put on killing penalties? Your third and fourth guys. Zigomanis. They will try the janitor before they try Zigomanis. When Zigomanis was here they were #1 and they were 4-0!"
I can't really complain here. I've gone on record as saying that Mike Zigomanis would be a much better defensive centre option than, say, Philippe Dupuis, the guy the Leafs have decided to use this year. Although when I agree with Cherry, it's usually just coincidence, and we usually do for completely different reasons.
"I used to have in Boston Bruins the third and fourth guy, they were willing to kill penalties."
In 1979, the Boston Bruins had the 14th best penalty kill in the league. That was also Cherry's last season with the team. The next season, the Grapes-less Bruins went 2nd best in the PK, presumably with the good players that Cherry mis-cast, while Cherry's Colorado Rockies were 11th, below league average.
So I'm not sure what makes Don Cherry some sort of expert on the penalty kill. He was a coach who had Hall of Fame players in John Bucyk, Jean Ratelle, Brad Park, Phil Esposito and Bobby Orr and didn't manage to win a Cup, so I'm not sure what makes him any sort of Coaching authority ever, either.
"Now the guys that aren't pretenders, the guys I love, Tanner Glass, right off the bat, he's from Regina..."
He's from Regina, which is in Canada, thereby superior.
"You'll go to war with these guys."
Well sure, but having watched Tanner Glass for two years in Vancouver, I'm not sure I'd like to play hockey with him.
Also, this is the first of many military references that Cherry drops in this episode.
"And look he fights, and I think he got a Gordie Howe hat-trick. A fight, a goal, an assist."
A fight, a goal, and an assist, in that order of importance.
"When we landed, we were the number one of all the countries, we were the only one, we were the first one to establish the beach end, we were so far into France they told us to stop, we were volunteers, ours our the best, just like they are in Afghanistan!"
It's not often that I really think I need the History Channel to cross-reference what Cherry is saying.
"A beauty! Eric Nystrom! These are the guys you go to war with! Look at that! Love these guys! I don't get why Calgary ever let him go. Don't understand that."
I think our own overlord Kent Wilson explained that quite well in this Flames Nation bit, calling Nystrom "extremely limited" and "When he was actually placed in the uneviable position of being an honest-to-god checking forward playing tough compeition in difficult circumstances by Minnesota last year, he got his head beat in."
"[in a montage of Ryan Wilson hits] That one he'd probably get suspended for. Get 20 games or something like that."
Yeah, pft. These new guys in charge hate hitting. They don't know what it's like to play in the NHL.
Also, considering he was mostly showing hits from a 24-year old that were delivered either this year or last, and Wilson has never been suspended, I think that suggesting that he might get 20 games for any of these hits is just straight pretend outrage at this point.
"We gotta show a blocked shot and a goal by Teddy Peckham."
"When I'm at the trench, this is the guy I want, and oho! That one got him, hehe, right on the thigh!"
You'd go to war with Teddy Peckham, that's for sure.
"Shake it off Teddy, get out there! And now he gets a nice goal. Beautiful. Guys you go to war with they're just as good as our troops first and second wars and all the way in Afghanistan, waytago Teddy!"
"Look at this deflection waytago! Just like the troops!"
"Remember in Montreal, Sheldon [Souray] always stuck up for everyone all the time, remember he did it for Sacko Koyvoy and then he goes to Edmonton and I don't know what happened, they sent him down to Hershey..."
I wonder if Sacko Koyvoy ever sent Souray a thank-you note.
"He's had a tough year for two years in a row."
He had two years worth of tough years rolled into one tough year.
"I'll tell you something, he's the number one... and look at him right here. And he fights, this guy."
"He's the number one defenseman in the league, you say 'no', I say 'yeah'."
I won't really argue this one. The part about me saying "no", to be specific. I will argue the idea that Sheldon Souray is the number one defenseman in the league, and I will also sort of cringe, and wonder what other NHL secrets are being held in Don Cherry's hyperbolic chamber.
"Four goals, eight assists, he's got a game-winner, a shorthanded goal, but get this! He leads all defensemen in +10! +10! And then he's tied, oh, no! +11! Excuse me, he's tied with two forwards for best in the league! And he's only making a million and six."
Doesn't Cherry hate statistics?
Sheldon Souray has had a pretty good comeback year. He's 50th among defensemen in Relative Corsi (10 game minimum), but I'd say that Cherry's opinion of him is based more off of his 104.6% PDO, which is 16th among defensemen. So while his play has been there (and I certainly didn't like the way Edmonton handled him) his production has thus far been better than his performance.
"Joe Nieuwendyk got him for nothing! Absolutely got him for nothing!"
So Joe Nieuwendyk essentially got Sheldon Souray for what he gave up Brad Richards for. Richards is another one of Cherry's favourites, but so is Nieuwendyk, and I think Don is more likely to overlook that his old pal Joe failed to trade Richards at the trade deadline for even anything, even knowing he'd lose him to free agency.
Remember, Dallas was "hot" at the start of last season too and collapsed down the stretch when the percentages caught up with them. They didn't change much in the offseason, and it's pretty much just a few guys producing way more than they deserve (such as Eric Nystrom).
*thumbs up*
Pretty good blog and pretty accurate. Cherry lost his relevance and sitting up there with the simpering head bobbing doting old fool Maclean....they are truly a comedy team instead of a sports team.
Hyperbaric chamber, by the way. Though I do agree that Don Cherry probably has a hyperbolic chamber.
Are episodes I and II available (or is that part of the confusion / joke)? Couldn't find them in search.
I actually laughed out loud at the "hyperbolic chamber" crack. Very good. If anyone has it, it's Cherry. Or maybe Pierre Maguire.
I hope Cherry isn't looking forward to showing highlight reels of Theo "Teddy" Peckham for every goal, otherwise he'll have some long waits ahead of him.
I have to chime in on the Souray thing: I can see why people would say that they didn't like the way the Oilers handled him, but at the same time it isn't like he was dealing all that well with the organization. Obviously I'm biased as an Oilers fan, but if I look at it as objectively as I can, Tambellini tried to trade him when he was injured and no one was interested. He tried to move him via waiver, which would have actually meant we'd be paying him to play for someone else, and again, nobody would have him at that price point. Tambellini sent him through recallable waivers twice and no one stepped up. Souray is partially responsible because he became another facet of the problems that plagued that dressing room and his behaviour was considered to be bad enough as a model that he wasn't even wanted on our farm team. Rather than work things out with his agent and GM he lost patience and smeared the entire organization. If he had done it to any other franchise I can't see their GM or fans handling it differently.
Yeah, he's playing great this year, and I'm glad for that. His reputation got a kick in the bits last year and he deserves another chance, but just like Jerome Messam on the Esks, he has to prove that he is better than his reputation thus far.
