Comments about Club Membership Miles Kimball Rewards:
Beware. "Free shipping and 10% off all orders" is not accurate. If you use another source code, you don't get free shipping. You get the amount off offerred in the source code you use but get charged for shipping..
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This membership stinks
By Disgruntled customer
from Farmington, MN
Purchased Rewards Membership for the free shipping. I never received card, had to call and they gave me a offer number to use. Apparently when you get special offers by email or mail for a higher percent off such as 25% you cannot use your membership to get the free shipping. So those attractive offers of 25% off are really not special offers since it is a wash. The cost of the order I was going to make with the 9.99 shipping and 25% off is 58.00, the cost with 10% off and free shipping is 58.00. All my other memberships include free shipping automatically and it doesn't matter what offers I use. If this was a free membership I would totally understand but I had to pay for this membership the free shipping should be associated with my account and not considered an offer. This is the statement they have for joining their Rewards program that you have to pay for "Description JOIN Today! And take advantage of the savings on your order today! 10% off all orders FREE shipping on all orders Additional special discounts & offers Sign up for email & get member-only..." Really! Hmmm I guess I am illiterate and don't understand what FREE shipping on all orders mean.
Merchant response: Dear Disgruntled Customer,Thank you for your review of our Buyer's Club Membership. We apologize that the benefits are not usable with other offers as you do receive 10% off and Free Shipping for an entire calendar year for a one-time charge. This offer will be the best discount in about 99% of situations and if not a simple call to our Customer Service Department can clear up any issues. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at email@example.com or call us at the phone number below.Thanks,Miles Kimball Customer Service1-800-255-4590

By Shopper Barb

I purchased Rew. Mem. Card solely for FREE shipping. Thought it would be included with my sizeable order rec/d. 10/15th. Called MK-card shipped separately from a Marketer. I am still waiting...
Merchant response: Dear Barbara,Thank you for your review of our Buyer's Club Membership. We apologize that you did not receive a physical card to use for your benefits.

MMORPG.com is committed to giving our readers the best and most informative reviews of today's hottest MMOs. With that in mind, we're taking a new tack with TERA and giving it a multiple week timetable for review. In today's installment, we take a look at an instanced dungeon and at guild quests and politics. Read on!
I finally began to go some guild quests this past week too, in the hopes that we'll manage to at least ding and hold level two with our motley crew of 10 or so active guild members. We're not big, but we try to maintain. You see, in TERA, your guild can and should partake in the Political Vanarch system which will open up (we're told) at the end of May for its first round of voting. There are 13 regions that can and will have Vanarchs ruling them, even the tutorial Island of Dawn. The Vanarch who is voted in to a region can control the trade brokers, the taxes on sold items, access to teleports and more.
Read more of Bill Murphy's TERA: Review in Progress - Part Three.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
I agree completely. I simply can not stop playing Tera. This game is really a lot of fun!
Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil. Never back away from an enemy. Either fight or surrender. It is not enough to say I will not be evil. Evil must be fought wherever it is found.The Iron Code"
i'm trying to be intersted in this game, but not really sure why i can't......
i think it's the classic questing and lack of raiding or ( Big scale pve )

collision detection makes it so it is very hard to scale a fight to large groups such as raids. Run a dungeon with a mostly melee group and see how many times you get stuck between players and now double or triple that and you have a raid setting. The combat is just too movement intensive for 25 guys to be slapping one target unless it's hitbox is absurdly massive.
Played: AA, AC1, AC2, Aion, AO, AoC, CO, CoX, DAoC, DCUO, DN, EVE, EQ1, EQ2,
ESO, FE, FFXI, FFXIV, FF, GW1, GW2, Istaria, L2, LoTRO, MO, MxO, NW, Rift, RoE,
Ryzom, SB, SWG, SWTOR, TERA, TSW, WAR, WoW, WURM...
It is important to note that the feel and population are different from server to server. Meaning, on any of the pve servers (most are recommended with one usually at medium) the feel is a bit more serene. Especially at the higher levels as many people haven't gotten there yet.
On the two most populated pvp servers (which are usually full) the atmostphere is a lot more energetic, more "alive". Of course the conversation also tends to be a bit more acerbic and aggressive. But there is a greater feeling that "something is happening".
As people may have gathered from the GW2 vs TERA article, I'm enjoying this game hugely!
I will say that I have a SWTOR sub. 2 infact one for my son and myslef. I haven't logged in almost 2 months. He continues to play. I may let my account go dormant. He saw me playing TERA and I was begged to get another account for TERA. So I did. I was pleasantly invited to The Secret World Closed Beta and I am going through TERA withdrawal. I will say that the combat is what I am missing. Despite the non level grinding of TSW.
My guild on TERA is hated and at war with 2 other guillds LOL. We love to PK. As it should be on a PvP server. I agree the crafting is uber expensive but I am finding at least more money is dropping from higher level mobs.
It is insane to see lvl 60s running around already. My guild leader was lvl 60 a week ago. He says he did things he's ashamed of LOL. South Park chamber pots comes to mind. Or NASA diapers.
I am a level 54 berserker and i must say they scaled the games questing very very well. Though the grind surely slowed down even at 54 it is not "slow". I played aion and i quit at 42 realizing everyone next to me was botting because hey, it took 24 hours of skill spam to lvl. /uninstall.
Tera is the most fun ive had in ages. Maybe its because i always drooled over monster hunter and it never got ported to pc. Well this is my monster hunter and I have found myself a home. There are sure a lot of games out there. Recently got into TSW and GW2. I just have no interest in these anymore. Tera came out at a good time. Maybe people have a found an unexpeted home to make them happy. Like me.

As to peoples worry about crafting expenses. I am a lvl 54 and i have 5,000 gold. Now that is probably in the top 10 on my server but mobs drop up to 7 gold now, so yeah it aint that bad.

Wow, the more I see, the more impressed I become.
My inner skeptic is telling me to wait 2 and a half more months though. Just been burned too many times by MMOs who frontload their content.
I just order my copy. I have been looking at reviews since I am getting buyer's remorse.
The Best MMORPG for 2012 released so far IMO, this game will probably make it on top better than GW2.
You must be in terrible pain Mr. BillMurphy, looking forward to part four and the "new" things you have done.
Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
Ahh, the reviewer played as a lancer...
...didn't have to worry about 1-2hour dungeon ques, did you?
Here are my issues with TERA right now:
10. Exploring where with your lancer, Mr. Murphy? I'd really like to know what exploration/exploration incentives there are in TERA. Imo, it's a beautiful world that is much too hollow. If there are places to explore, lemme know.
9. Crafting is...quite frankly, a joke. I'm also going to list dyes with expiration dates here as well. Try to do some alchemy w/o breaking your bank.
8. Community is...well...fiercely loyal to EME/BH. To the point where you can not mention another PC game. I dare you to say you enjoy other MMOs/CoRPGs as well (came from Vindictus, Dragon's Nest, GW1 (quit), GW2 beta, DCUO (casual), and Rift (quit)). It's to be expected, but still...
7. The rooted animations. Oh, I love it when people compare TERA to Street Fighter or Tekken with their "rooted" animations. First of all, SF has VERY short animation roots as well as methods of canceling out of those animation roots. Tekken has longer animation roots, but still much shorter than TERA's. In point 8, I mentioned that I came from Vindictus and Dragon's Nest when I heard that TERA was an action MMO. They need to stop saying that. Target based? Yes. Action? Relative to GW1, Rift, and WoW? Sure! Relative to Vindictus, Dragon's Nest, hell, even DCUO? Not so much.
6. Political system where only a few dozen players will ever be involved. (Please be smart with your votes...I really don't want to have a low supply of stores available on June 1st)
5. No endgame item vendors until Vanarch system is implemented...that's about 2 weeks away. Price gouging is...not so great.
4. No structured PvP outside of ganking (Hopefully we'll be getting some Server v Server ala GW2/DAoC). Can't wait for battlegrounds
3. LFG chat has become the All Chat for trolls...needs some moderation or something
2. Looting...oh the looting, is horrible. Some Lancer leaders set the group to low priority so they get the best loot. Also, if you die, you can't roll for loot...meaning if no one rezzes you, they can take all the loot. I may need to find a more active guild so this doesn't happen to me, but it's already happened 4 or 5 times...
1. You can't play the class that you want and still play dungeons...if you aren't a lancer, you are waiting from 30 mins to 2 hours. We need 2 more tank classes to stop the insanity. My suggestion to you all is not to roll a DPS if you want to play the game in it's entirity. You were VERY lucky to have chosen a lancer, Mr. Murphy.
I didn't list the first 20 levels, questing, lore, etc because those have been beaten to death already.
"As you read these words, a release is seven days or less away or has just happened within the last seven days those are now the only two states youll find the world of Tyria."...Guild Wars 2

By HARRIET BISHOP
About three years ago I wrote an article for my column regarding my children and a print cartridge. In case you don't remember I will briefly fill you in. Told my son all I wanted for a Christmas present was a print cartridge for my printer. Finances were a little tight at the time and I thought I had convinced him to get it for me as he had called up and gotten all the information to buy the right one. I couldn't wait for Christmas to come because I really needed that cartridge.
Instead of a print cartridge that year for Christmas I received a microwave oven. I didn't know I needed a microwave. I got one just the same.I was a bit disappointed. I never did get my print cartridge. I ended up buying my own. Just a little update. I would throw my body against the door if anyone tried to take my oven.
Now it is three years later and my son asks me what I would like for Mother's Day. Believe it or not I ask him for a print cartridge. You would think I had learned my lesson by now but I have kind of a hard head. Besides things like that couldn't or wouldn't happen again. Wrong.
I just knew I was going to get my print cartridge because I had explained it to Mark. I needed another one . It just happened that it was a coincidence that I needed this item around this time. Besides he called again later on and ask me what kind I needed and I gave him all the information. In our family sometimes we hold on to our presents until we see the person so we can see their face when they open the present. So I wasn't surprised when my present didn't come in the mail for Mother's Day. I knew the kids were coming a week later so I was content to wait. Well, the day finally arrives when everyone comes to visit Grandma. Wanna know what I received for Mother's Day? A brand new printer complete with a print cartridge. How cool does that get. I didn't know I needed a new printer but apparently my children thought I did and thought enough of me to buy me one. How blessed can one person be. Secretly just between you and me. I thought, "Oh Crumb, now I am going to have to learn how to run this thing and all I really want to do is print out a few recipes on my good old faithful printer. The one I already know how to use.
While they were here my son proceeded to set up my new printer etc., and found that not only did I need to get a card with this particular printer but the printer was not adaptable to my computer. Oh well, don't worry about it son. Just take it back and buy me a print cartridge. That is really all I need. Thanks so much for thinking of me it is the thought that counts.
Mark was so upset about the whole situation that he arranged on line to have a print cartridge sent to my mail box. I should get my print cartridge within the week.
Sooooo the children go home. Guess what! My print cartridge didn't come. I waited much longer than necessary then revealed the dilemma to my son. Answer: "Oh my goodness, mom. I'll get right on it."
It is now the middle of July. I never received my cartridge, a new printer, or a Mother's Day present. What have I learned from this experience? Bet you can guess. Anyone asks me what do I want for a gift? I will not tell them I want a print cartridge. Guess I am just destined to buy my own. Oh Well. It's the thought that counts. By the way, I'll bet there are a whole lot of you readers out there that have had a similar experience. Ask around. If you haven't had one I'll bet you know someone who has. Oh yes, and by the way, anyone know where I can buy a print cartridge for my printer? Just kidding.
Well, that is my world. Until next time remember those infamous words of Spike Mulligan, "Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery."

Skip to comments.Spanish investigators have discovered Atlantis's archaeological evidences...
Posted on 11/25/2004 6:49:34 PM PST by Maria Fdez-Valmayor
Spanish investigators have discovered Atlantis's archaeological evidences...
Atlantis = Iberia. Atlantis in Gibraltar and Ibero-Morrocian. The Georgeo's theories
(I Part)
Extracts the Georgeo's theories an hipotesis. (Forum Atlantis-Rising 2001-2004)
Official website of the Georgeos's tehories (in spanish)
Spanish investigators have discovered archaeological evidences underneath the sea, near the coasts of Gibraltar, that could belong to the Atlantic civilization described by Plato with the name of Atlantis and that the Greek philosopher located exactly in front of the Columns of Hercules (Straits of Gibraltar), next to the region of Gadeira (Cadiz, Andalusia) and of the Atlas (Morocco).
The first findings were made in the summer of the 2003. A report with the preliminary results was made, they consulted to great experts of reputation the International as George F. Bass and Cemal Pulak and the report were sent to the authorities and competent organisms of Spain and to UNESCO.
It has spent a year, and still no scientific institution has shown interest to study the solid evidences discovered by the team of collaborating explorers of the investigator and escriptólogo Georgeos Diaz-Montexano, intellectual author of the theories that support these discoveries on the identification of the kingdom of the Atlantis with the Atlantic towns of the coasts of Iberia and Morocco.
It is the first time in all history that is discovered architectonic rest and metal devices under the sea in a location that agrees in a 100% with the descriptions offered by Plato on the geographic place where it was the island and the Acropolis of the Atlantis.
Some investigators protest to have found Atlantis in other places of the World like Jim Allen, that places in a so remote place of Gibraltar as mountains of Bolivia, whereas Robert Samarst now is conceited to have discovered the Atlantis near the coasts of Cyprus, but Sarmast has still not discovered nor a single archaeological evidence, the only thing that does since it initiated his expeditions is to show pretty drawings of virtual maps recreated by knoll computers and natural geologic formation that it interprets like rest of Atlantis buried by the marine bottom.
The Spanish investigator Georgeos Diaz-Montexano, the German Ulf Ritcher and the Dutch Jonas Berghman are the only investigators who defend with scientific rigor and adjusting to Plato's texts and many other authors of the antiquity the only possible location of Atlantis: the one that describes Plato, that is to say, near the Columns of Hercules (Gibraltar), Gadeira (Cadiz, Andalusie, Spain) and the Atlas (Morocco).
The Georgeos Diaz-Montexano's equipment of collaborator is the unique one who has shown the world submarine archaeological evidences that have been analyzed by the experts and they have still not been possible to recognize or to classify. These evidences are to depths that correspond with the old level of the sea of several thousands of years before the times of Solón and Plato.
It is paradoxical that the team of Spanish investigators has still not demanded the discovery of Atlantis, in spite of being those that more scientific evidences have and that nevertheless, Robert Sarmarst does not matter to him to affirm to the world that already has discovered Atlantis when the only thing that it has at the moment is not more than a few natural hills and formation - until it demonstrates to the opposite and a few virtual maps and recreations where it is reconstructed what Sarmast thinks that must have, but that not yet exists.
Robert Sarmast not yet has shown the world nor a single archaeological evidence that is solid and worthy to consider, whereas Georgeos Diaz-Montexano has shown to not one but several deposits with archaeological evidences "sui generis" that would have to be object of study between the scientists. Robert Sarmast has guided fundamentally by the speculations of the book pseudo-religious of Urantia, whereas Jonas Berghman, Ulf Ritcher, and in special, Georgeos Diaz-Montexano, prefers to guide itself by the scientific and philological study of the oldest manuscripts known Plato, and the scientific evidences contributed by geology, oceanography, the paleogeography, the sismology and archaeology.
Nevertheless, and against all logic, Robert Sarmast he is receiving, probably the greater advertising support at level the International that has never received a finder of Atlantis.
How can be explained these paradoxes?
Perhaps exists some false prejudice against the inhabitants of Spain and Morocco?

I heard of Atlantis being in that area. Other say it is either off the coast of Greece, South America, or Southeast Asia.
I personally wonder if Atlantis wasn't a Utopian/Dystopian story invented by Plato...
But who am I to know...seems that I hear about the finding of Atlantis at least five or six times a year, usually in different places...
Are there any better translations available on this subject?
I'm sorry, I don't know what they're saying. Does anyone here speak Jive?
My money is still on SE Asia.
Same here. There is evidence of a lost continent in Southeast Asia. It is possible where Ainus, Basque, and Burushaski may have came from. It got washed away after the last ice age.
You know wha' they say: See a broad to get that bodiac, lay'er down an' smack 'em yack 'em.
I think it's in Slater's ravine but they are making a strip mall out of it, so they better hurry.
Search For "Lost" Atlantis Centers On Strait Of Gilbraltar
Went to the 'rock' once in the early 60's.
"It is possible where Ainus, Basque, and Burushaski may have came from."
Jomon too.
" It got washed away after the last ice age."
Nah, still there underwater.
Cold got to be! You know? Shiiiiiiit.
Especially when they're about a subject as serious as this one.
Old lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Old lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.
Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
Ditto. Is there a square inch of this planet that hasn't been postulated to be Atlantis? I think I saw evidence for the Lost Continent in the China Lake basin of the Owens Valley in California.
We'll probably find out someday that Plato was actually in a drunken stupor and merely referring to a floater he found in the public baths somewhere....
Well, not really - it's Thomas Cole's Consummation of Empire. But a great painting, nonetheless.
...and even a few places in galaxies far far away....
Thats right, all the Art Bell fans know that. It's in Galaxy NGC 6822 < /sarcasm>
I think Atlantis is in the Pegasus Galaxy..
Watches run backwards there and compass needles spin wildly in every direction.
ping for sunken Cadiz
Naw, to get to Atlantis you have to go through the Stargate in Antartica to another galaxy...
Pegasus Galaxy you say?
Can't remember anything any more..
It seems that much of the stuff we see in movies comes true later. Or maybe I should say that a lot of the far out stuff has a little truth mixed in with the outrageous.
I amnot saying that there is a actual stargate like this one but there might a little truth in there somewhere. The stuff we heard about the mysterious discovery in the Antarica and the scientists getting sick there only fuels the speculation.
Maybe the producers in Hollywood are feed a little info from people who are in position to know. I personally think the public is being conditioned to accept E.T. and that it will have a tie in to the Bible.
I would have to say "Cadith" or "Cadi" as most people from Cadiz call it...:o)
Unfortunately I have never met anyone who's at all interested in hearing me talk about Cadiz, so it doesn't matter how I pronounce it. :(
I lived several years in Barcelona (pronounced Barthelona)...Most people from Andalucia have a very pronounced "th" expression or cut off half their words like Cadi...

I personally think the public is being conditioned to accept E.T. and that it will have a tie in to the Bible.
Of course. The remaining government will use alien abduction as an explanation of the rapture. Where did those hundreds of thousands or millions of people go to one night? They were abducted by aliens. The gov gets to use it as a reason for a security lockdown and most people will choose to believe it (because the alternative, that we Christians were right all along and they were left behind, will be just too painful to contemplate)

Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk reported the Emery County Sheriff's Office Dispatch received an emergency call of a mine cave-in at the Rhino Mine in Bear Canyon, 10 miles west of Huntington. The call came in at 3:12 p.m. on March 22 reporting that two coal miners were buried in the cave-in. Emery County Sheriff's Office personnel as well as two ambulances were dispatched to the scene. One coal miner was rescued and transported by ambulance to Castleview Hospital in Price. Rescue efforts continued for the second coal miner. Members of the Rhino Mine Rescue Team recovered the body of the second coal miner involved in the cave-in. The miner who passed away from his injuries was Elam Jones of Huntington and the injured miner was listed as Dallen Mcfarlane. He was treated and released at Castleview Hospital.
Sheriff Funk said it was reported the miners were pulling pillars at the time of the incident. Jones was running the miner and Dallen McFarlane was the assistant to the miner operator. Sheriff Funk said it was reported the portion of the roof that came down was two feet thick and 10-12 feet in length. The miner was buried in the collapse. Jones was reported to be unresponsive after the cave-in and appeared to have died immediately from his injuries, being severely crushed by the rock and coal.
Investigation of the mine cave-in will be conducted by MSHA.
Jones leaves behind his wife Jaqlynn and two young children.
The Jones family said Elam loved coal mining. He loved his friends and co-workers at the mine. Elam was an avid hunter, fisherman and snowmobiler. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his family.

Plot Synopsis
Absorbing British melodrama adapted from Edward Percy's 1946 hit stage play. This murky tale of a London antiques dealer whose past catches up with him is rich in character but nevertheless stagey. The leading role is played by Oscar Homolka, the heavy-eyebrowed Austrian master of malevolence produces an excellent performance, but he gets a good run for his money from the young Kenneth Griffith as a weaselly shop assistant.
Desius Heiss (Oskar Homolka), is not only a fugitive/refugee from Devil's Island, but also a London antiques dealer who surreptitiously trades in stolen goods. When his assistant, Archie Fellows (Kenneth Griffith), discovers that Heiss is both an escaped convict and a fence, the bookkeeper indulges in blackmail. Fearing that exposure would ruin the career of his concert violinist daughter, Margaret (Muriel Pavlow), and unable to pay the exorbitant ransom, Heiss kills the clerk. Heiss then comes under suspicion of murder from Scotland Yard Inspector, Major Elliot (Garry Marsh).

New Rush-Henrietta boys cross country team to run with elite at bigger, maybe faster McQuaid Invitational
There is little question that the 48th McQuaid Invitational is bigger than ever.
Race director and McQuaid coach Todd Stewart said that more than 7,500 runners will compete Saturday in one of the nation's largest cross country meet, a record for this event. And former Knights coach Bob Bradley plans to give his informative in-race updates with the aid of a microphone and stopwatch.
There is a chance that the McQuaid Invitational could also be better than ever at Genesee Valley Park in Rochester, due to the combination of the flat course, speed and level of competition.
"He's thinking that he's going to have 10 guys under 15 minutes, which on that course is the benchmark for an elite runner," Rush-Henrietta boys and girls coach Mike DeMay said. "This will be the fastest field they've put together in years.
"It's just dynamite."
The Rush-Henrietta boys are in race No. 24, Varsity seeded AAA, that includes state-ranked Class A teams inside Section V, such as the Royal Comets, and strong squads from beyond like top-ranked Arlington of Section I.
Arlington plans to leave the area around Poughkeespie before 6 a.m., compete and make the drive home the same day.
The meet also has attracted Strake Jesuit of Houston, Texas a state runner-up that has 13 of its top 15 runners back and 2011 Nike Cross New York Region champion Shaker of Section II. Those schools also will line up against Rush-Henrietta, Webster Thomas, Arlington, Fairport, McQuaid, Hilton and other strong teams in Race 24.
"A lot of these schools are getting special exemptions (from travel restrictions) or permission for the McQuaid Invitational," Stewart said.
Rush-Henrietta popped up in national rankings last season and missed out on the Class A state championship by one point.
Graduation did take away four of the top five runner, familiar names that have helped power the Royal Comets to three Section V championships in three years. Mickey Burke and Brennan Root are back.
The core of the team are seniors, seven of the top 10 and five of the top seven, who have had to push hard for positions among Rush-Henrietta's top five.
"This is a new group," DeMay said. "They don't want to be the team that breaks the string.
"It's a work in progress. We try to work our way through our schedule with the ultimate goal of peaking at the right time."
So will the Royal Comets pull back or charge ahead Saturday? Burke said they will make a run for the win.
"We plan on it," Burke said. "I really feel like I've taken my running to the next level and I'm excited to see what this team can do.
"It's the most elite race we've had up to date. That's always exciting."
Gathering of speed: The boys seeded AA race could turn out to be the meet's speed division, where the day's fastest runner may be found, according to Stewart.
There is a potential duel between Marcellus senior Brian Manahan from Section III and Lakeshore junior T.J. Hornberger of Section VI. The race also includes Honeoye Falls-Lima, Brighton, Pittsford Mendon and Walsh Jesuit, a perennial contender from Ohio.
The girls seeded AAA race will include West Genesee junior Laura Leff, who finished third at the 2011 Foot Locker National Championships. Irondequoit senior Georgia Tuttle has decided to run in this division, which includes Canandaigua junior Kennedy Jensen and Penfield junior Katie Lembo, while her team will run in one of the AA races. Jensen is the first runner from Section V to compete at the Nike Cross Nationals championship as a sophomore.
The course records are 14 minutes, 35 seconds for the boys, set in 2002 by Stephane Hetherington from Saint Michaels in Toronto, and 16:52 by Hilton graduate Amanda Griggs in 2005.

Heidi Kay-Ewell was born Sept. 11, 1977. She is the oldest child of Terry and Lori Kay of Huntington. When she was 6 months old she went to her doctor for a cold. His nurse Mary found a heart murmur and sent her immediately to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake.
Dr. George Veasy diagnosed Heidi with a Ventricular Septal Defect with transposed vessels. Because of these two abnormalities her heart was compensating. She continued with 6 month check-ups until age 4. When she had a heart cath.
She continued to do well until age 14 when it was determined she would need surgery to repair the hole between the chambers of her heart. Her open heart surgery was scheduled for Sept. 16, 1991 where she would need a valve replacement and a piece of dacron material sewn between the chambers of her heart to repair the hole. On Sept. 18, 1991 the President of the United States, George Bush Sr., visited with Heidi and her parents (what are the odds?). On Sept. 24, 1991, Heidi was able to return to her ninth grade Canyon View Jr. High classes. Heidi continued to live an active life, participating in high school volleyball and softball where her coach nicknamed her "No Fear." Eight years later Heidi's replaced valve was checked for leakage, all was well.
In December 2013 after her dad's heart attack, Heidi also started to have chest pains. The Castleview hospital sent her to the Utah Valley Cardiac Clinic, who then sent her back to Primary Childrens.
She had another heart cath, which revealed she is currently in the early stages of heart failure.
Her left side is no longer compensating and before age 40 she will need a heart transplant.
Heidi decided to live one of her bucket list dreams on June 27. Heidi and her friend Melissa Jeppson went to Fenway Park in Boston, Mass. Where Heidi caught a foul ball off of Dustin Pedroia in the second inning of the game... What are the odds?
During the Emery County Fair on Aug. 3 there will be a medical benefit fundraiser for Heidi. A silent auction will be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. A live auction will be held at noon under the pavilion. Items include a quilt, saddle stand, two tons of hay, a bow and much more. Raffle tickets are being sold for a Savage 7 mag gun, 150 pounds of ground beef, Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley concert tickets, quilt and a $50 gas card. Tickets are available at BKs and Utah Power and Light Credit Union and can be purchased at the fair. The drawing will be on Aug. 3.
All funds raised will go towards Heidi's heart transplant and related medical expenses. Heidi is married to Rodney Ewell of Huntington and is mom to three step daughters.

The Canucks Didn't Lose Because the Twins Are in Decline
Thomas Drance
May 10 2013 12:11PM
Image generated at somekindofninja.com
The image above is a "player usage chart," which is a way of looking at players and evaluating how they're being deployed. We've used these charts on several occassions previously. Here's how the chart works: the higher a player's bubble is located on the y-axis the tougher the competition they faced was. The further to the left that player's bubble is on the x-axis the more often you started in the defensive zone. If a player's circle is red it means they were a negative possession player, and if their circle was blue, they were coming out ahead.
There are four blue bubbles on Vancouver's forward usage chart for the 2013 seasons and one of them is Derek Roy, who only played a small portion of the season with the Canucks and disappeared in time for the postseason. The other three positive bubbles are Alex Burrows, Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin. Yes, those are also the three players who started most often in the offensive zone among all Canucks forwards (though they started a much lower proportion of their shifts there than they have in the previous two seasons), but they also battled the toughest competition. In fact, I think it's abundantly clear that the twins had their best two-way campaign in the behindthenet era...
Read past the jump.
If you look at the usage chart that leads off this post, two things should be abundantly clear: the first is that the Sedins carried the Canucks all season. The second is that the Canucks were so, so clearly a one-line team all season long. The hope after the trade deadline was that Ryan Kesler's return and the addition to Derek Roy could, perhaps, give Vancouver's lineup some bulk. It didn't work out as Ryan Kesler was mostly unable to drive play at five-on-five upon his return from two different injuries, and Derek Roy was one of Vancouver's worst forwards in the postseason.
The Sedin twins scoring may have been down this season, but there's a variety of reasons why that makes sense beyond the twins showing their age. Like, say, the club's total inability to generate shots on the power-play, the more conservative system the team deployed, the increased difficulty of the twins' deployment, and the fact that they didn't enjoy the percentage based bounce they got during Daniel and Henrik's respective Art Ross trophy seasons.
It's not that the Sedins don't deserve some of the blame for Vancouver's postseason failure. Vancouver's top-line was non-existent in the first game of the series and struggled enormously in game four as well - even if they managed to author a big, late power-play goal for Alex Burrows in the third period.
Some of the Sedin's struggles in the four games against San Jose were percentage based (Daniel's 2.5% on-ice shooting in the playoffs isn't something I'd hold against him), but it's still true that their possession numbers cratered in the postseason. The twins needed to dominate the Vlasic, Braun pairing and didn't, and that's a major reason why Vancouver didn't win a single postseason game. But the bigger issue, from my perspective, is how thoroughly Ryan Kesler and Derek Roy were dominated at even-strength by San Jose's depth forwards.
Ultimately the notion that Vancouver was swept in the first round of the postseason because the Sedins are in some sort of rapid decline and can't carry a team anymore just isn't compelling to me. From my vantage point I tend to think that you can win if the twins are your top-line, and you can even make the playoff if they're your only line. Winning in the playoffs if they're your only line, well that's where it gets tricky.
I think its a mistake to assume Kesler is declining from injury. Wrist shot is still there. Still can skate, get on the forecheck.
In bursts.
Likely culprit is terrible conditioning.
given the way the last year has gone for him, not terribly surprising
I think you accidentallied your X Axis and Y Axis
Last time Kesler had a healthy off-season, he came back in the best shape of his life, with an improved wrist shot, and played the best season of his career. He's spent the past two off-seasons injured.
I think we can probably expect to see Kesler looking a lot better come fall, as long as he doesn't suffer some kind of freak injury. I don't think he'll ever put up another 40+ goal season, but 30 goals and dominant two-way play doesn't seem out of the question.
I just checked out the same player usage chart for all forwards with 30+ games played for the whole league this year.
Max looks pretty awful on there. His only excuse the high percentage of defensive zone starts. Not as bad as guys like Tootoo or Shawn Thorton, but still pretty bad.
On the other hand, Sean Couturier looks pretty good. He has positive corsi against tough competition with high defensive zone deployment. Quite a few fans of both the Nucks and Flyers on the illustrious HFBoards trade discussion board are in favour of a deal between the two teams centred around Edler and Couturier. If Gillis shakes things up, maybe this is a possibility. We do have a glut of left-side d-men.
May 10 2013, 01:59PM
Good stuff, I'm looking forward to your articles once you and Cam crunch more of the numbers from the past season/playoffs. I'm most interested in your ideas on why they were winning the possession battle but were losing on the scoring chances all season. Just seems bizarre to me.
that's the ever elusive sedin variable.
It's not the Sedin's fault the team lost. It's no ones fault the team lost. In fact, it's never anyone's fault the team lost. It's always the leagues fault.
That's all well and good. The Sedin's may not necessarily be on the decline and may not be fully responsible for the loss (they are partially responsible tho) but IMO they are no longer effective like they once were. Lets face it, they're still good players, but teams have learned how to play against them and stop them cold in the playoffs. And I know, this is where you tell me about possession numbers etc., sure, they can hang on to the puck and make pretty passes (except against SJ), but I didn't see that turn into many quality scoring chances this year, especially on the PP.
It's getting boring and frustrating to watch other teams shutting them down. Even they were getting frustrated... Think it's time they up their game and change their tactics... coming out next year and doing the same thing won't bring any different results.
" It's getting boring and frustrating to watch other teams shutting them down. Even they were getting frustrated... Think it's time they up their game and change their tactics... coming out next year and doing the same thing won't bring any different results."
Do you think they resign Lappy this summer? He has some bad underlyers this yr - but prob in part due to his d-zone start %. Do you have the adjusted numbers for the forwards?
I really hope they go after Boyd Gordon this summer.
How many 33 yr old or older Centers play on the #1 line? Playoff type teams
Center is the hardest position , I think Henrik is slowing down.
A tool is someone like you who supports losers and pays money to see losers play. Shut up and do your part, open your wallet some more and be the tool you are. You're good for nothing but keeping loser franchises alive. Enjoy another 4 decades of loser, loser! Hahahahahahahaa!
"It's getting boring and frustrating to watch other teams shutting them down. Even they were getting frustrated... Think it's time they up their game and change their tactics... coming out next year and doing the same thing won't bring any different results'
Wow, what genius you are! YOU REALIZED THAT JUST NOW| WHAT S STUPID IMBECILE YOU ARE!LOL
I am of the opinion that Kesler's play will decline soon because his style depends so much on speed and strength. Reminds me of Trevor Linden when he reached his late 20s and early 30s.
Does anyone have a record of Kesler's times in the Fastest Skater Competition? I'd like to see if there's a gradual decline ...
If so, the Canucks should try to trade him soon to get some value back and quicken the retooling.
Or Luongo + salary cap space for Couturier if the Flyers do buyout Bryzgalov.
@Thomas Drance
Do you have data comparing regular season and post season possession numbers for top players around the league, including the Sedins? I hypothesize the difference is greater for the Sedins than other top players. Thanks!
That's a good point. The Canucks should be able to find out early next season if Kesler is out of shape or in decline. If the latter, he should be traded at the deadline.
You still have not given any answers as to why you say it's HARD to find a replacement for Sedin and GM.
Please tell us why you know it's so HARD.
Enlighten me...or is it too HARD for ya?
Delusional Twat!
& CoLa
Or Luongo + salary cap space for Couturier if the Flyers do buyout Bryzgalov"
Why bother? It's too HARD to do isn't it? LOL
Give us some recommendations of how to get Couturier? Do you know him? Are you his agent?
Enlighten us.
@Habs A OK
"Enlighten me...or is it too HARD for ya?"
I am glad you understand. I find it difficult to find good replacements for Gillis, Sedins, and Kesler. I am sure many others on this forum also find it difficult. That's why I, and likely others, are hoping you can enlighten us by providing some thoughtful and realistic suggestions.
For example, please suggest some specific GM candidates to replace Gillis, some coaching candidates to replace Vignault, and some high end players to replace the Sedins.
@ CoLa
"I am glad you understand. I find it difficult to find good replacements for Gillis, Sedins, and Kesler. "
Good for you to admit I'am right and you are wrong, but you still haven't told us why you find it HARD to find a new GM like you said before, or have you forgotten? Please, tell WHY it is so HARD to find replacements, since you act like you have experience in finding GM's before.
I would suggest candidates to enlighten you , but it would be too HARD for you to understand.
Perhaps you should go and sign up for some hockey "education" that way, things wouldn't be so " HARD " for you.
So please, once again, tell WHY it's so HARD for you to find another GM. Enlighten us with aaaallll your GM hard finding experience, son.
Do you need me to repeat what I said again or is it too " HARD" for you, son?
"I find it difficult to find good replacements for Gillis, Sedins, and Kesler. "
Please tell us all why it was so HARD for you to find replacements?You sound like you went out and tried to. You must work for that franchise. Enlighten us and tell us WHY it was hard for you to find replacements. We would all love to be enlightened by your experience and why it was HARD for you to find replacements.
Go on, put your money where you mouth is and let us all know.
@habs A ok @ fan can
Why don't you go hang out on some other site... you know, somewhere where ppl give a crap about what you have to say. Oh wait, that's why you've come to a Canucks site - your teams don't want and can't stand you.
You can go now.
@ isabel
Reality is always a bitter pill to swallow.
You and your team can go and suck now. Oh, wait, you two already do.
Then get ready for next year, I'm sure you'll score 50 goals in the post season, Daniel.
Go on, go and suck some more. You're welcome.
I think the obvious reason for the Sedins lack of productivity is simply them not being on the ice for long stretches of time due to the 24 PP opportunities granted to the Sharks. How can players (or a team for that matter) get into any offensive pressure situations if they are consistently killing penalties?
Then maybe AV should not be putting them on the PK. Maybe Gillis should be out looking for real defensive specialists. After all, the players make millions, you would think with that there has to be 2 people in the whole of the nhl they can find to do a better job at PK. Wait, maybe, just maybe they traded them away to keep this coat tail riding core group.
The Sedins and their management and fans expect the league to change for them, to make it easier for them. Why don;t they ask the league to have a rule that says the canucks shall not be penalized for anything?
It's time for the management, the core group to shape up or ship out. Hey, I'm sorry to hurt anyones feelings, but if someone is ugly and wants to be a model, well, grow looks , get plastic surgery or look for another line of work. That's called life, that's called competitive sports. This is the NHL, not Summer Fun school programs at the park.
Thanks for the interesting statistic based commentary.
That, I'm pretty sure, is why the regulars have been coming here for a long time. Certainly that's why I check this site several times a week.
It is also appropriate for lazy slobs (like me) to ask questions that the stat-heads are better able to answer.
While some passion can be interesting, I think this corner of the blogosphere should be mostly about rational thinking.
I'm sorry to see there has been a small invasion of flamers, trolls, and opinionated morons. FWIW, since the end of the regular season, I've noticed that elsewhere on the Canucks sites I check. I don't why, and I will be relieved when we can get back to interesting (and polite) discourse.
Keep up the good work. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
I always find it interesting when people talk about the concept of a "first line". I think there is definitely a "first line" on every team, though it's not the NHL XX video game, dumbed down version of a first line.
It has more to do with the quality of the players on the line, the chemestry they have together, and especially how much the opposing team plays their best defensive group against them, among other things. In other words, a first line of a team is not something you can just "get" like so many armchair GMs clammor for, it's something your team has regardless, even if you're the Calgary Flames.
By all these criteria, and probably most tellingly (ok, I haven't crunched any numbers, but I'm sure it's possible), every team in the league probably matches their top defensive group against the Sedins.
We can obviously see how the Sedins are much more objectively good thanks to all the hard work done here at Canucks Army. It just amuses me when people say the Sedins aren't top players or "first liners" when every single team seems to decide that's exactly what they are.

Loan Deferment
National Student Clearinghouse Information
The National Student Clearinghouse provides enrollment verification services for ATSU. All students enrolled at least half time are electronically reported to the Clearinghouse every thirty days. The role of the Clearinghouse is to provide continuous enrollment verification to the vast majority of lending institutions.
If you are enrolled and receive a collection letter after you have started your courses, contact your lender or loan servicer to verify that your deferment has been processed. If it has not, contact the Clearinghouse at 703.742.4200 and ask to speak to a Student Service Representative. The representative will assist you with verification information, and if you are being threatened with default, intervene on your behalf with your lender.
Not all lending institutions use the Clearinghouse to verify student enrollment. The Registrar's Office will continue to process deferment requests for lending agencies that do not participate in the Clearinghouse. You may contact the National Clearinghouse to find out if your lender participates in the Clearinghouse (or if you have any additional questions) by visiting the "Contact Us" portion of their website at: http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/contact_us.php.

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Elvy When extra weight is a good thing I already had one of these...I bought this one for a gift. I've used mine for years. Very handy, especially when I'm eating and reading. January 11, 2017
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rcbsnow Great Item! Had been getting frustrated always losing my place in my smaller cookbooks. Remembered seeing this item a long time ago--don't remember where--maybe someone I knew had one. When I saw this, I knew I had to order one. This works perfect for any size book. I wouldn't be without it! Thanks! May 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Su25 Useful It keeps hardcover books and large paperback books open. It's worth buying if you like to read while eating. May 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dr. L Productivity lifesaver I'm writing and editing a surgical textbook that has required reviewing a number of large and small textbooks in the process. I recalled using one of these book weights for studying a long time ago in undergrad school, and honestly forgot about them over the years. After using rubber bands, clamps, and even other books to hold the books I was reading open, I saw this product in your Christmas catalog that was included with an item my wife had ordered. This instantly brought back memories of studying in undergrad school, so I purchased two of them. They've been a life saver!! I'm thankful that you were able to offer them, and they are serving my needs admirably. January 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gardener Girl Finally bought one! I have looked at these for years, but never got around to putting one in my cart. Now that I have, I'm regretting the time lost. It's such a simple item yet it works so very well. The book weights are truly a five star product, and I highly recommend them. January 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by So Nostalgic great idea! I love to read on my lunch break, but difficult to read when your lunch needs 2 hands. This book weight holds done the pages quite nicely for me to read and eat at the same time. Works best on hard copies and trade paperbacks. For paperbacks it holds down enough to read without using your hands. Will buy for my sister. May 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kelli Save the Bananas! Who would have thought that a banana would make a great book weight -- my husband did! He likes to read at the counter while he eats and thought the banana was a perfect weight to keep book pages open. Unfortunately, they get a little mushy for eating. He was pleasantly surprised that I found an actual book weight at the Vermont Country Store. I Googled it and there was our perfect answer to save our bananas! Now we just eat them! February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mizz Mary Essential This was my second purchase after using my first book weight for over a year. It is so helpful when needing to use your hands for something other than holding the pages of the book, especially in the wind. Have given as a gift and will also give other to gift or keep in purse for me. January 3, 2015

"Very cute in person, even though the shoes came with scratches on the heels. It seems like either someone had returned them or they were mishandles in the warehouse. Anyhow, I am usually a size 7.5 for any heels over 2.5 inches....I order the usual and they are definitely too small and tight at the toes. I am sending them back for a size up. I hope it works as they are quite cute and comfy."

When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, the patient and their families get quickly thrown into a world of complicated medical procedures, decisions and treatment options. For some patients, the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is accompanied with devastating financial and emotional effects.
Our programs and resources provide help and hope to adult patients and their families to help them through this difficult time. It's our way of trying to help these families focus less on their financial stress and more on their health and recovery. The New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation (NMCCF) is dedicated to supporting our patients' non-medical needs during their fight against cancer. What does this mean to the patient? That if their co-pays and transportation costs have consumed their monthly budget, that the Foundation will step in and pay their rent, utilities, groceries or gas.
In 2012, we celebrated our Tenth Anniversary of helping cancer patients and their families. The New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit org anization, guided by a board of directors and assisted by a large group of volunteers and advisors. Currently, the NMCCF serves patients with cancer or severe hematological disorders who receive care at any of the New Mexico Cancer Centers in Albuquerque, Gallup and Silver City.
New Mexico Cancer Center
4901 Lang Avenue Northeast, Albuquerque, NM, 87109
The Foundation is situated at the Lang Albuquerque New Mexico Cancer Center and provides a variety of unique support programs to patients, their families and the medical community. The Foundation is focused on helping to reduce the stress of cancer treatment through education, legal and financial counseling and by providing financial help to cancer patients and their families. We are grateful for the exemplary commitment of time and treasure generously given by each member.

- Length: 60"
Comments: :I love these sticks. It is a great price point and a great value for the stick. I just received my N8, PP77 curve and 85 flex, on 8/23/13 and it's a replacement for my recently broken T80 Sherwood (that lasted 2 years playing 1-2 times per week). I like the light weight, balance and the PP77 Coffey curve. I play defense and tend to shoot from the point most of the time and this is a great stick and curve for long wrist shots and the occasional slapshot, for my game. I am not an elite player and therefore won't spend more than $100 on a stick and try to get the best I can for that amount and I have enjoyed Sherwood sticks for over 4 years now. N8 is a great replacement for my T80.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Vallyn Bernard has recently published his third book. This book is entitled, "Semi Santa," and is about a semi truck driver who bears a resemblance to Santa Claus. He finds ways to share the spirit of Christmas as he travels through the western United States making deliveries. Along the way, there are a number of Santa's helpers who become involved as they look for ways to bring help to those in need.
Bernard lives in Lawrence with his wife Debbie and together they have raised six sons. His other two published books include "48 Acres" and "Pink Pigeons."
Bernard is excited about "Semi Santa." If he can create enough interest in the book then there is a good possibility the book may be picked up by Deseret Book for the upcoming Christmas season. The bookstore is always looking for Christmas stories for gift gifting at the holidays. They really like human interest and inspirational tales with a Christmas setting.
This book "Semi Santa," has all the right ingredients for an inspiring Christmas story. Bernard encourages everyone to contact him to obtain their own copy of this book. It's a short book easily read in a hour or less. Many people are buying the books for their children and as gifts for others. People have told him they have Christmas traditions of sharing Christmas stories with loved ones and this is a great book to share.
The theme of love and family are strong in this book.
If you like the book, Bernard is encouraging you to send him an email that he can share with those involved in promoting the book. He would like to see the story gain some recognition outside of the local area and he hopes you can help. You can reach Bernard at 687-2363.
Bernard feels like truck drivers are the unsung heroes out on the road. They are always stopping to help others and this book helps to spotlight the good these heroes can do in the lives of others.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Smooth baby food for a start
Bought super salmon for my baby to try when she's 6 months old as fish is generally very nutritious for baby. To mummy, it does not taste very good. But my baby loves it very much as it's smooth (easy to swallow) compared to the beef or chicken ones! Thumbs up for this!
Ok nothing special
Posted by 5448737023135072166 on Aug 18, 2016
A bit bland for the baby
love it
Posted by 5378737940120058054 on May 15, 2016
Great tasting and baby loved it
That's one of very few foods that my baby eats
Posted by 4865584289393732509 on Apr 09, 2016
My baby is very picky, she happily eats only non-sweet yoghurt. So I was surprised that she liked Super Salmon. Can't say that she adores it, but at least she finished it, which is very rare for her. She still prefers breast milk to any food so this is an achievement for us.
fishy smell
Posted by 5016248457970079776 on Dec 13, 2015
my baby didn't enjoy the smell this one had. so i sauted some garlic in olive oil, added some basil and mixed this one up. she loved that. still a good option with the good omega3 esp. when we're travelling.
Great success !
Posted by 5703834079003027262 on May 03, 2015
Daughter loved it. She loves salmon in general so I wanted to try it. There is less salmon that in the purées I make myself but still a decent amount. There is a strong taste of roasted carrot which is lovely!
