I Think I Have To Do It AgainI followed the instructions exactly, and got something. I am transitioning from relaxed to natural, and wanted to make my hair more manageable without a relaxer. I have about four inches of natural hair and 10 inches of relaxed hair. After the wash and application steps, I blow dried my hair and flat ironed with a ceramic iron that goes up to 450 degF. My hair was not silky, and not bouncy like the girl in the video, but she has completely different hair from my own. My hair felt dry. I it sucked up and waited the 24 hour period. I washed and deep conditioned my hair (20 minutes under the hot cap with the conditioner provided). It felt much better, but my tight curls did not loosen one bit.
I went back to my two strand twist. Then one week later, I had to go away for a special event, and so I deep conditioned my hair, blow dried it and flat ironed it. It took 1.5 hrs, instead of the usual 3 hour ordeal! Amazing! Moral of the story, if you have type 4 hair, this treatment does nothing to loosen curls, but it sure makes getting the straight look easier. That is nice, but I have a rule, I am only doing 1-2 flat ironing sessions in a six month period. I have met my quota, so no more keratin til 6 months later.Jul 15, 2011Yasmine / BahamasHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Love Love Love This Product. Dont Hesitate To Purchase This Product!!!I usually dont take the time to write reviews but I had to write a review and tell you about my experience with the The Rio De Keratin treatment. I was skeptical and was not overly excited about doing the treatment once I recieved the product because I was not sure it would work on my hair. I have thick, curly, dry, frizzy hair. After I applied the treatment I couldnt believe how great my hair looked immediately after, and my hair just got better on the 3rd and 4th day. Before I applied this treatment I had to wash and style my hair everyday because when I woke up in the morning my hair was a big frizzy snarled rats nest. I had to wash it daily and use tons of conditioner just to make it somewhat manageable and washing it daily was drying my hair out even more. Now when I wake up my hair is silky and shinny and looks just as great as it did before I went to bed. I no longer have to wash it everyday and when I do wash it my hair is so easy to style and manage. The time spent on my hair went from an hour plus each day to under 30 minutes including blow drying and straightening with a flat iron. This product didnt make my hair straight. It made my hair shinny, silky, smooth, and frizz free. I was never able to air dry my hair in the past either because my hair would get really big and frizzy. Now when i air dry it the curls are loose and big and frizz free and my hair looks great! I will be purchasing this product and using it everytime my hair starts to go back to its normal frizzy self. I have had several friends and family members comment on how great my hair looks lately. I would highly recommend this product to anyone to try!!!Jun 14, 2011Ann / MinnesotaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Wow!I had done a lot of research on BKTs and didn't want to take the risks with all of the chemicals. I came across this product and figured that for the price, it was worth trying. I just did it tonight and it did take me about 2 hours and I have medium length hair. I was a little worried about it smelling bad because I read that a lot of the other BKTs smell horrible- but not this one!!!! It left my hair smelling nice and SUPER straight. I'm really hoping that the results last. I was a little bummed when I read in the instructions that you should only wash your hair 3 days per week..... I have to wash mine every day or else it gets really greasy.Jun 4, 2011Alison / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Oily Hair

This Product DeliversI have naturally fine curly hair and in the summer it just frizzes. I like to wear it straight and I had an outdoor wedding to attend in Charleston, SC which is extremely humid! My hair always frizzes there. I was skeptical buying this, because I have tried just about everything. I gave it a try, and it does what it says! My hair was shiny and did not have one frizz the entire wedding! My husband even complimented how good my hair looked. It has been two weeks, and I still have no frizz ! I would definitely recommended this. I am thinking about doing it again later in the summer!May 13, 2011JulieHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair

Not For MeI had high hopes for taming the wild curl I get on tropical vacations with this product. After treatment my hair was stick straight, but I live in a dry climate. Getting to the Bahamas was a different story. After washing and letting it dry naturally, my hair looked just like it does without a treatment! A huge mass of frizz and curl! I was hoping for a more tamer curl and no frizz, but no such luck....
I gave it 2 stars because it did straighten my hair when not in humidity.Apr 20, 2011JrrHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Wow! Humidity Is No Battle For Rdk!Omg!!!!!! I love this product! A friend recommended me to try RDK. We both are college students and can't afford salon prices for keratin treatments so $75.00 sounded like a give away. My hair is very unmanageable, frizzy and dull. RDK brought back life to my hair and cuts my time in the morning in half!!! The application process
took about 1.5 hrs in total which wasn't that bad. The treatment, shampoo & conditioner smell so yummy it actually got me more curious and excited to see how the end results were going to be. Just a little tip- you def need a flat iron that goes up to 450 degrees and a ceramic plated flat iron works best. If your looking for almost salon quality hair up this is the product for you!Apr 18, 2011Jennette K. / Orlando, FLHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Smells GreatThis was my first at home try, the up side: I love the smell, it was very easy to apply, there was zero fumes and it left my hair silky shiny for those 24 hours, the down side: while after rinsing my hair is little softer, it didn't take a lot of frizz from my hair, nothing like the other keratine treatment I did before at salone. so it depends on your hair type, some will get more benefit than I did. I still have half the bottle so I will do another one cause I have it. But I will be using other kertaine treatment next time that really deliver better results for me and last 4 month at least.Apr 3, 2011Lele D.HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Epistle Reading
Document Actions
St. Peter's Second Universal Letter 1:20-21; 2:1-9
Beloved, first of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.
For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven other persons, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked (for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them, he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds), then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment.

Three years ago, we realized that the students in our self-contained learning and behavioral disabilities special education classes at Warren Hills Middle School needed to develop appropriate social and life skills. As their teachers, we knew our students had great potential but were struggling each day to act appropriately and achieve academic success. We decided that the best way to help our students was to work collaboratively and find a way to turn our classes into a community.
In 2011, we applied for and received our first NJEA Frederick L Hipp Foundation grant. With the $6,896 we received, we would create real life opportunities to help our students learn what it means to be a good citizen. We hoped that by giving our students these experiences, we could create a school community that would result in greater academic and behavioral success.
Discovering citizenship through personal inquiry and experience
We started by inviting parents to a breakfast meeting in July to learn about the project timeline and activities. A few days later we were on a school bus with our students traveling to Seneca Falls, New York.
After each trip, our students came together to make a canvas "quilt" to showcase what they learned. The experiences made history come to life in a way no textbook or website ever could. They also created beautiful multimedia paintings that resemble stain glass windows. Each window celebrated the trip and communicated what students learned about our history. Learning about diversity, inclusion, and the struggles that many faced for equality is a wonderful way for students to develop a sense of community. They made the connection that treating their peers with dignity and respect, no matter how they were different, leads to a better environment for all involved in a community.
These experiences had such a positive impact, we applied for and received a Hipp Foundation continuation grant. So last summer, these same students were asked to define what it means to be a responsible citizen at all levels of government. To answer this question, students traveled to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, and the State House in Trenton. They took pictures, wrote their observations, and spoke to local and state officials as they developed their own definition of what it means to be a responsible citizen.
Then we gave them the opportunity to actually be responsible citizens by initiating a beach clean up at Gateway National Park on the New Jersey coast and by hosting a school-wide litter clean up. This event was featured on a segment of "Classroom Close-up, NJ." (To view the segment, go to Classroom Close-up, NJ, click on the Video Library icon, and search for "Discovering Citizenship.")
The learning has continued this school year as students were treated to a question-and-answer session with Congressman Scott Garrett when he visited Warren Hills Middle School. Students with and without disabilities came together to ask him questions about the federal government and what it means to be a responsible citizen.
Building a classroom community
From the beginning of this process our mission has been to give our students hands-on, real-life experiences that teach them social skills and citizenship. We wanted to build a better classroom community. We wanted our students to be successful in school with the understanding that caring for themselves and others leads to success.
Because of the grant, we were able to provide opportunities for our students to take ownership of their definition of citizenship and apply the meaning to various activities on a state and local level. In addition, students were given the opportunity to create and take pride in a very intricate and involved art project that they developed from start to finish. That project is now on display in our school's library for all stakeholders to see. When students look at what they have accomplished, they feel a sense of pride and take ownership for that project.
Finally, the students have also been able to recognize that it sometimes takes a struggle to reach a goal. It may also involve risk-taking and bravery to make dreams into a reality. But knowing what others have overcome will help them to face these challenges.
All of these lessons have made these young people into better students and better people. They are more excited to come to school and take pride in helping each other. They speak in more respectful tones, not only to their teachers, but to each other, and they work hard to maintain a clean and orderly classroom. The students have learned to take ownership of their learning and better care of their surroundings.
All because of a Hipp grant
Far too often many great ideas never become reality for students because of budget constraints, fear of taking a risk, and/or the lack of time. But student needs should transcend these and any other obstacle. The Hipp Foundation grant helped us make our vision a reality for seventh and eighth graders at Warren Hills Regional Middle School.
Teaching students to truly be about something bigger than themselves coupled with real world experiences have lead our students to truly change the world. Partnering with the Hipp Foundation gave us the support we needed to teach more than the required curriculum and to empower our students to make the world a better place.
In the end, we received so much more than money from the NJEA Fredrick L. Hipp Foundation. We were given a chance to do something great for our students so they could then in turn, do something even greater. We invite you to visit our community and see what these young people are doing.
Jessica Rader has been a special education teacher in the Warren Hills Regional School District since 2006. She is a recipient of the N.J. School Boards Association and ASAH Innovations in Special Education Award and earned a citation from the State Assembly Citation for the Hipp grant program. Rader can be reached at email@example.com.

The Power of Servant Leadership
by Doug Dickerson
posted Sep 2 2013 9:30AM
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile
. - Albert Einstein
A story is told that during the American Revolution a man in civilian clothes rode past a group of soldiers repairing a small defensive barrier. Their leader was shouting instructions, but making no attempt to help them.
Asked by the rider, he responded with great dignity, "Sir, I am a corporal!" The stranger apologized, dismounted, and proceeded to help the exhausted soldiers. The job done, he turned to the corporal and said, "Mr. Corporal, next time you have a job like this and not enough men to do it, go to your commander-in-chief and I will come and help you again." The man was none other than George Washington.
"Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitudes and actions" said Harold S. Geneen. And this is the essence of servant leadership. When talk becomes action; when ones purpose as a leader transcends position, and serving others is the norm rather than the exception, that is when leadership is truly understood.
Former President George H. W. Bush was asked in a Time magazine interview as to whether he has seen a shift in the past twenty years in the public's attitude toward service. "I think so, I hope so," he replied. "Many schools include a service project as part of their curriculum, and many corporations have in-house projects for their employees or give them time off to do volunteer work. There's a greater understanding about the importance of giving back." This is encouraging when you consider how great the need is today for servant leadership.
Servant leadership can transform your life and your business. Here are three simple insights to bring it into focus.
Service is the model of leadership.
The simplest definition of leadership comes from John Maxwell who defines it in one word– influence. A servant leader is one understands that his influence individually can make a difference, but collectively can make a huge impact.
When you rally your people, time, and resources around causes greater than self, you are modeling the greatest use of leadership. "Strong convictions precede great actions," said James Freeman Clarke. He's right. What great causes are you and your organization rallying around?
Service is the blessing of leadership.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven," said Jesus (Matthew 5;16). The best way to "find yourself" is by serving others. It's as you give of your time, talent, and treasure that you begin to see the world around you in a different light. Servant leadership has nothing to do with weakness or being a doormat, but has everything to do with using your gifts and talents in a positive way.
When was the last time you praised a co-worker for a job well done? Who is the colleague going through a difficult time that could use your encouragement? How about giving a gift card to your hard working admin to express your appreciation? When the idea of being a blessing becomes your corporate culture you will move your business into a whole new realm of purpose.
Service is the reward of leadership.
Do you want to position your team for greatness? As you set the example of servant leadership within your organization, the buy-in among your team will have significant meaning. Simply put, there are some rewards that will come your way that have nothing to do with your bottom line. But the change in your company culture will be priceless.
"Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy," said Jim Rohn. Are you ready to open doors of greatness? As you become a catalyst for servant leadership it will open up new realities for you that you never knew existed.
Who will you serve today?

"I originally bought these shoes in plain black in Nov 2012 and wore them to a three day trade show and conference in Chicago and besides just being sore from standing and walking all day in general, my feet did not hurt from the heels at all! No blisters! They are very flexible and great to walk in. They look good with skirts or pants. So I went and bought these ones and love the gold detail! I highly recommend these shoes. My coworker got them in black and the new navy color. Finally a pair of good looking shoes that are affordable and comfortable!"

Heart Surgery
It's great if you can keep your heart healthy—by not smoking, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular physical activity. But what if you end up needing heart surgery? What should you know about the procedure?
Coronary artery bypass (heart bypass) is just one form of heart surgery. Others include heart valve repair or replacement; arrhythmia surgery, which helps restore regularity of the heart's natural rhythm; and aneurysm repair to replace weakened sections of a blood vessel or the heart with a graft.
New technologies have reduced surgery and recovery times and make heart surgery an option for even some of the sickest patients.
After being in use for nearly 30 years, for example, coronary artery bypass surgery is now the most frequently performed major surgery in the United States, with more than 500,000 procedures done each year. Advances also have reduced recovery time and heart-surgery-related risks for stroke and spinal cord injury.
Reduced recovery time is particularly important to older patients because a few months can take a big chunk out of their remaining years of life. So is the reduced risk for stroke or other major complications.
Open heart surgery is any surgery where the chest is opened and surgery is performed on the heart muscle, valves, arteries, or other heart structures. The term "open" refers to the chest, not the heart itself. The heart may or may not be opened, depending on the type of surgery.
Minimally invasive heart surgery reduces the size of the incision, the recovery time, and risk to the patient.

Kei Kurono, without a doubt.
this fag made me wept and laugh at the same time.
i stopped reading when he died, read it again when he revived.
I maraTHONGed it in less than 24 hours, just finished the last chapter a little bit ago.
Kei Kurono, he's just a BAMF that's all there is it to, though I wish they hadn't revived his girlfriend... She's pretty lame
the only characters i care for are: Kei Kurono (i like the looser hero story...i allways have) and reika (i don't care what she does , she is too hot xD) ...its a real shame kei chose tae ...i mean you give the main character the ugly and plain girl to make it look real?....it's a manga about aliens....what give?....REIKA ftw!!!
Kurono just annoys me sometimes.
Let's get this party started.
Katou, Reika, Kaze, Kurono,Old man...hell, I like all of them. Sei needs to be brought back! (Lara Croft chick)
Kurono, Kaze(Muscle Rider) Tae and Nishi
Kurono: He's a loser and "The Man" at the same time. He gets laid pretty well for a loser. When he goes hero mode he's pretty badass.
Kaze: He's just a monster as a martial artist and he took care of Takeshi which makes he "aaaww." He just looks cool
Tae: She's so sweet and innocent. Her relationship with Kei is about substance and she doesn't need to show it off to anyone. She helps balance Kei's chaotic life and they actually love each other. I was really sad when she died AND when her/Kurono forgot each other.
Nishi: He's just a crazy mofo. He's hardcore about surviving and fighting. It doesn't hurt that killed his class for trying to bully him. He makes me wish Kei hurt a few more people in school, especially the guy that called Tae an ugly bitch;I would've broke his arm at the very least!!
well im not saying i wanna have a beer with this guy but nishis definitely the most interesting character to read about so ill count him as my favorite. almost jumped outta my chair when they brought him back to life.
i wish they had gone more into that girl who hangs around with sakurai. she seems interesting...

BOSTON -- They come from different backgrounds, got their jobs under strange circumstances and inherited drastically different teams.
John Farrell of the Boston Red Sox is a former pitcher who spent eight years in the big leagues, all in the American League. Mike Matheny of the St. Louis Cardinals is a former Gold Glove catcher who spent 12 years in the National League.
REDS: Name Bryan Price new manager
Farrell replaced a manager, Bobby Valentine, who was detested by his players and booted out of town after one year and a 93-loss season. Matheny replaced a future Hall of Fame manager, Tony La Russa, who abruptly retired and left behind a World Series championship team.
Farrell and Matheny really don't know one another personally, but the longer they're together on center stage at the World Series, beginning Wednesday at Fenway Park, they'll discover they're a lot more alike than they ever imagined.
They might want to get acquainted because they could be peers for quite a while.
"You are talking about two of the brighter guys in the game," Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona told USA TODAY Sports. "They're just solid, good people. I don't think it's a surprise they're having success."
They are new face of baseball's managerial fraternity.
TIGERS: Leyland retires as manager
Jim Leyland, 68, of the Detroit Tigers retired Monday. Two weeks earlier, Dusty Baker, 64, of the Cincinnati Reds was fired. The Washington Nationals' Davey Johnson, 70, retired. Joe Torre, Bobby Cox, Lou Piniella and La Russa have no intentions of returning.
Matheny, 43, and Farrell, 51, are the new kids on the block, though MLB's five managerial vacancies might be filled by first-timers.
"All of us were young managers at one time," La Russa said. "At some point, you've got to give guys a chance. There still is value in learning your craft in the minor leagues, but as you can see here in the World Series, there are exceptions."
Matheny and Farrell indeed represent the new era of managers, with laid-back personalities and quiet demeanors, beloved by players, scoreboard operators having bigger egos.
"I've never seen a situation work out well when the coach is the focal point over the players," Farrell said Monday. "Any time you put yourself ahead of them, you jeopardize the dynamic in the clubhouse. Neither of us have forgotten how hard the game is. You're only as good as your players."
Said Matheny: "It's extremely gratifying to see what these players have accomplished. They've earned every bit of this, not me."
Yet make no mistake: They are the right men for the situations.
You think it was easy for Matheny to take over the Cardinals when they still were sweeping World Series confetti off the streets? He not only was replacing an iconic manager in La Russa, but he also lost three-time MVP Albert Pujols, who left as a free agent for the Los Angeles Angels.
It's like the poor soul who follows Vin Scully in Los Angeles, walking into the broadcast booth with a sore throat and rumpled hair.
"Let me tell you how impressed I am with Mike," Francona said. "I went after the same job, and when I didn't get it I thought they made the right pick. I think very highly of him."
Matheny was never intimidated. He walked into the office, put a few family pictures on the desk and never tried to be a La Russa clone. He was going to be himself, like it or not.
"Obviously, he wasn't afraid of that dynamic," Farrell said. "It certainly didn't deter him. He's a very smart guy without that hands-on experience, and it speaks volumes to the leader he is, despite not taking a traditional path."
Matheny had never even been a coach, let alone a manager in the minor leagues. Yet, he brought the Cardinals within one game of the World Series last year and has them in it this year.
"What Mike brought was a fresh voice, a new perspective that was respectful of the past, respectful of his predecessor, and he combined all of this to create his own fingerprint," Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak told USA TODAY Sports.
"There were certainly question marks, but when you look at the organization success we've had with him as manager, you could not have asked for more. He follows a Hall of Fame manager, without a rebuilding mode, and kept this group and momentum moving forward."
Farrell, who spent four years as Francona's pitching coach in Boston, departed after the 2010 season to take the Toronto Blue Jays' managerial job. One year later, Francona and the Red Sox parted ways, and Valentine was brought in to erase memories of those fun-lovin' chicken-and-beer days.
When Farrell was brought aboard last October, the team was in ruins, coming off a 93-loss season and ugly discord between players and management.
"I knew John would turn it around because there was an immediate buy-in from the players because they respect him so much," Francona said. "You always knew he would be a star, no matter whether he was the GM, the manager, running the minor leagues or whatever they wanted to do with him."
Now, here the two of them are, on center stage, letting their players bask in the limelight.
"It will be a special World Series because of what these guys have done," Francona said. "It's not about the individuals. It's about the team."
And, oh, how it's a reflection of their managers.

Bills training camp observations: Day 3
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 22 2014 10:01PM
On Monday, the Buffalo Bills trotted their prize of the offseason out in front of all the national media and they came away with a lot of praise. The big networks didn't stay for Tuesday's practice, and that was probably for the best from an offensive perspective.
The most humid day of the three practices by far, Tuesday morning provided closure at some positions while others became wide open. It was also the first time of the summer that the Bills practiced in full pads.
Offensive struggles
- To put it bluntly, the Bills' offense had their worst day of training camp to this point. The quarterbacks weren't on the same page as the wide receivers and the offensive line couldn't consistently keep the defense out of the backfield. Head coach Doug Marrone called the opening parts to the practice "sloppy," and concluded that they need to be better than what they were. No arguments here, or from mostly anyone else that viewed the practice. EJ Manuel was indecisive during 7-on-7s and coupled it with some inaccurate throws to his receivers throughout team drills. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz brought the first taste of his blitzing packages at the offense and caught them off guard for most of the day. It would be prudent not to overreact to such a down day by the offense, considering that it was only one of their first practices. However, they can't afford many more days like that one if they want to progress like they think they can.
Tuel gets some time
- A strong few weeks of offseason workouts for Jeff Tuel (in the opinion of the coaches) mixed with some poor play by normal backup Thad Lewis has put Tuel squarely in the discussion to be the backup quarterback in 2014. Tuel put a lot of effort into improving himself physically from where he was last season and it has helped him get into the mix to be the backup perhaps a year earlier than expected. On Tuesday Tuel and Lewis alternated series with the second offense, and then Marrone confirmed following the session that it was indeed an open competition. The way it looked on day three, Lewis needs to be a lot better than he was to hold off Tuel.
Tori Gurley problems
- One of the biggest issues for Lewis was his inability of getting on the same page with recently signed wide receiver Tori Gurley. On at least three occasions during the practice Lewis looked Gurley's way and delivered the pass in one area of the field, only for Gurley to run an entirely different route than what was expected. It resulted in two incompletions and one interception, which visibly frustrated Lewis — and for good reason. Those types of things will happen during training camp, but it's partially the quarterback's job to make sure everyone gets on the same page.
Kicking competition complete
- One "competition" is over before even starting. The Bills emphatically proclaimed Dan Carpenter their field goal kicker for the 2014 season. In two of their first three practices the Bills worked on their field goal kicking units, and for all 16 attempts Carpenter was the man doing the kicking. Despite selecting Dustin Hopkins in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Bills are giving him no chance to push for the job. Head coach Doug Marrone told reporters following the practice that the only way Hopkins could make the roster would be as a kickoff specialist. The competition, if you can call it that, is over. For what it's worth, Carpenter has hit 15-of-16 field goal attempts.
Moorman wins Round 1
- While there wasn't much to the kicking competition, Brian Moorman is at least facing a bit of a challenge in having to beat out Jake Dombrowski for the punting duties. On the third day of practice, Moorman came away the clear winner. On punts that were designed to gather both distance and hang time, Moorman was far more effective. On seven punts, he averaged a hang time of 4.85 seconds, getting in to the five-second realm twice. Dombrowski's punts were shorter and only had an average hang time of 4.68 seconds on his six attempts. Although Dombrowski had the best individual hang time of the day (5.26), his day wasn't as good as the one Moorman had.
Day 3 MVP: DC Jim Schwartz
- It appeared as though Schwartz had the Bills' offense confused for much of the practice, sending blitzes from his linebackers and cornerbacks both. He overloaded the offensive line and they couldn't do anything to thwart it.
Day 3 LVP: The offensive line
- It didn't matter where the blitz was coming from, the Bills had a hard time picking up a good portion of them throughout the first few parts of 11-on-11s. They started to get the hang of it later on in the practice, but by that point the damage was already done for the day. The defense won Tuesday, and now they await the offense's retort.
Up Next:
The Bills get back on the field Wednesday morning at St. John Fisher College. They're scheduled to take the field at 8 am.

Love Bear traps
"These boots I got them a month ago and Love them from the moment we first met. At first I felt my feet a bit tight in the front due to the boots being narrow but they where very comfty even with the problem. After a while, it did not feel so narrow and I am able to wear them the entire day. At first I was not sure about the Taupe color but now I love it more than the black... Very warm and comfty, Gotta Love Them!"

Great boots!
"I was a little disappointed when i first put these boots on and noticed they were a little narrow in the toe, but it wasn't uncomfortable. In fact, it was easy to look past with how furry and warm they are! Super cute for an every day look - jeans and a sweater. Can't dress them up too much, but that's why I bought a taller pair of Bare Traps as well.Good buy!"

Over dinner with a friend our conversation turned to the question of what's worth storing in archives. We were speaking about parish records and documents but it got me to thinking about another kind of depository for records and memorabilia from the past: the archives we keep in our hearts and minds and memories.
I know that my personal archives go deep into my past. I'm quite sure I've not yet visited all the rooms and vaults there - and the history of my life they keep. Some reflection on this might help me when I go for my 10 minutes of prayer today...
When I go to my heart's archives, what do I find there?
Have I locked up some files that need to see the light of day?
files that need to be aired in the mercy of God's healing?
Are there entries in my archives I need to bring to prayer,
to my conversation with the Lord?
Do I find some records of my past that need reconciling?
Do I tend to consult only the archives of my disappointments?
Are there archives of joy I need to open again,
and open more often?
Might I ask God's Spirit
to help me open what I need to see again
and to put away, finally, what I no longer need to consult?
When I go to my personal archives,
do I remember that what's stored there is history? is the past?
that I live in the present moment
and need not be chained to what was?
Have I read in the files in my archives
the story of how God has always been with me,
even and especially in those times
when I may have thought God had abandoned me?
Have I searched for the files that tell the story
of my faith, my endurance, my desire to grow and to live?
Have I read the files that tell the stories
of those who have loved me, cared for me, watched out for me?
Do I need to ask God's help to search out the records of joy?
Have I accepted the reality
that God already knows everything stored in my archives,
(the good and the bad)
and loves me still, wanting always
to forgive, heal, refresh and restore me to his heart?
Were I to avoid a particular section in my archives today,
what section would that be?
Were I to bring one file from my archives to God in prayer today,
what file would it be?
Do I trust that with compassion and understanding
the Lord will help me with whatever I share with him?
You might ponder these questions before you go to pray today
or you might bring them to your prayer
and ponder them there...
Let the questions sink in...
Find some quiet time and a quiet place
to be alone with the Lord...
Be still... and know that God has always been with you...
Be still... and know that God is with you...
Be still... and know that God will always be with you...

Great shoe for the money!
"I was looking for a light weight shoe with a fairly thick sole for trails. Tried on shoes that were three times the price and were not as light or comfortable. I have worn them a lot over the last month and love them. I was an Aesics man, but now am switching over to Saucony."

Pipeline Term
Amine is the common name for a family of chemicals that includes monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA). Amines are used to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas. Natural gas is exposed to liquid amine in a contactor vessel, where carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are absorbed by the amine. The contaminated amine is pumped to a regenerator where it is heated to remove the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The regenerated liquid amine is pumped back to the contactor vessel and the cycle continues.

Chairman Bill Dellos opened the meeting with Ira Hatch giving an opening prayer and Phil Fauver leading the pledge of allegiance.
Karla Urie sang the National Anthem. Secretary Karen Dellos presented the minutes of the last meeting. Elaine Hatch gave a treasurers report. Bill Dellos gave a chairman's report on the state of the party. Bill said, "I am proud to be a Republican. The Republican Party is doing great and we expect to take back Congress in the next election."
Mark Tanner read the Emery County party platform. The delegates voted on a change to the party platform. The change made a stronger statement about the elected officials and local citizens being the ones to decide issues of wilderness designation, wild and scenic rivers designation, wilderness study areas, closing of roads etc., not Washington bureaucrats.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks introduced Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert, Utah State Senator David Hinkins, and Rep. Kay McIff after praising each for the several ways they help Emery County.
Lt. Gov. Herbert reported that the State of Utah was financially better off than any other state in the nation because of sound Republican fiscal responsibility.
"We want you to know that we do care about rural Utah. We have Republican leadership throughout the state and what that has given us is the best managed state in America.
"We as a state are not doing nearly as bad as the rest of the country. We are recognized as the state that will most likely recover the quickest and the fastest from this recession of all the states in America. I am proud to be a Republican."
Herbert read a list of myths that are untrue about George W. Bush and his presidency. State Sen. David Hinkins said, "What an honor it is to be representing Emery County as your senator. Especially for all the support I received from Emery County, Carbon County and all of Southeastern Utah. Many of the senators and representatives have connections to Emery County. These connections with Emery County have been helpful, because I could count on them to help in caucus meetings and on the Senate floor.
"I was fortunate, with little experience in politics to be put on some good committees. I was put on the Appropriations Committee, the Commerce and Workforce Services Committee as CoChairman with Mike Morley of Price. Out of an $11 billion budget we were able to cut $1 billion without killing too many programs and services and without taking funds from the rainy day fund. We cut a lot of over head that we could live without. Like at our homes we have given up some of the cable TV options to ease our budget. We did not raise taxes, but did increase the automobile fee $20 to cover some of the shortfall. I also served on the Transportation and Utilities Committee.
"I was successful in getting a resolution passed to allow building a nuclear power plant in Utah. That resolution could possibly bring a $12 billion power plant to Emery County. The taxes on such a plant would be $156 million a year. This could bring in a very large increase in tax revenue to the county.
"Twenty percent of the power in the US is generated by nuclear power with 133 units at 65 locations throughout the country. I appreciate everyone of you for your support and encouragement," said Hinkins.
Rep. Kay McIff said, "It is a great privilege for me to represent Emery County in the State Legislature. The magic of the Republican label is, (referring to Ira Hatch's prayer), 'We pray that people will recognize us as good people worthy of trust.'" McIff complimented Lt. Gov. Herbert for his outreach all over the state, because he does show up here in Emery County often. He also complimented the Emery County Republican Party officers for being well organized.
"We are deserving of the reputation of being the best managed state in the nation. When we were wrestling with this budget and we had a billion dollar short fall, we ended up balancing that budget. At the same time we were wrestling with the budget, the California Legislature was wrestling with a $44 billion shortfall. We balanced our budget while California moved to make their shortfall $50 billion.
"We had some tight ropes to walk. We had to cut the budget but we did not want to cut so much that we became part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
"We have a higher education system that is one of the best in the nation and certainly the most efficient. We get the most bang for the buck in higher education and the public education system of any state in our nation. We ended up cutting higher education 9 percent,Arizona cut higher education 40 percent, Nevada 20 percent, and California cut about 18 percent.
"At a time when we are more competitive than ever in our history it is important that we do not shrink our economic engine which higher education is. So that we are less competitive.
"Right now I think we are the most attractive state in the Western United States, certainly in the intermountain area and in the coastal area. Who here wants to start a business in California, Arizona or Nevada. If I were starting a new business, I want to tell you that Utah would look mighty good to me.
"The good news is also the bad news and I am going to share both. We balanced the budget. We made significant cuts. But of that billion dollars we made do with, we relied on federal dollars to the tune of $561 million. Now that is significant and we reserved our rainy day fund $414 million plus another $100 million in education. We have got that to fall back on. We did not raise the tobacco tax. We are geared to do that. We are prepared to do that, it is easy to do and it would be popular to do. I do not know if that would be sufficient to come to grips with the budget this next year or in 2012.
"We are going to have significant challenges, because we will have a reduced ability to rely on outside money and a greater responsibility to self fund. I would rather meet that challenge with the Republican leadership in the Republican House and Senate which we have and with the people who are there who I know and trust, than any other legislature in the United States. We will meet the challenge and I am confident that our people will be supportive. We will tighten our belts when we have to.
"If we need to be a little more generous in order to keep our public education system solid or higher education system solid, I am satisfied that we will do what we have to do and we will not give up the competitive advantage that we have right now in the Western United States and pretty much across the United States. We are well positioned for the future.
"Bill asked me to mention and explain one piece of legislation. It has to do with the secret ballot in the workforce arena. There is a bill in Washington before Congress referred to as the Card Check Bill will authorize union invasion of a workforce, simply getting enough people to sign up. A majority sign up and then no vote.
"We adopted a joint resolution, the House and the Senate, even if you have a sign up of that nature of 50 percent plus 1, you still have to submit that to a secret vote. The great fear was that in the sign up process there was a lot of pressure, a lot of intimidation.
"The resolution provided not withstanding the sign up process it still must be submitted to people to vote secretly. That has been fundamental to our government from the outset. We treasure it highly. The resolution passed strongly in both the House and Senate.
"We did several things of significance like limiting how campaign contributions could be used. Public education took a hit but it was limited to 5.2 percent. It looked like it was going to be as much as 19 percent. Higher education took a 9 percent hit. That also was programmed at 19 percent. Public employees took a hit in the area of health insurance.
"I regret all of those things but on balance I think the legislature did a remarkably good job and I was proud to be associated with the Governor, the Lt. Governor, the Senators and Legislature of both houses.
"Thanks for inviting me here. I welcome your cards, letters and email. Thanks for giving me the privilege of representing you. I will do my very best," said McIff.
Fauver introduced Ivan Dubois, State Republican Party Executive Director, Jim Bennett representing US Senator Bob Bennett, Jessica Fawson representing Attorney General Mark Shurtliff, who is running for the US Senate seat currently held by Sen. Bob Bennett.
Fauver also introduced the candidates for state party offices. State Party Chairman Stan Lockhart is not seeking a second term.
David Hansen and Tim Bridgewater are both running for the Utah Republican Party Chairman job and Mike Ridgeway is running for State Party Secretary.
Susan Austin conducted the registration of delegates and the election of party officers.
At this convention the local county Republican party officers were elected for a term of two years.
They are Chairman Bill Dellos, Vice Chairman Dixie Thompson, Karen Dellos, Secretary, Elaine Hatch Treasurer and Phil Fauver as County Representative.
After the results of the vote were announced the meeting adjourned.

If you would rather choose winning margins in Super Rugby then check out the new Rugby5!
Blues vs Highlanders
The Blues may have lost their last three games but the last time the Highlanders tasted victory was in Auckland, back in Round 13 last season. It's been eight straight defeats since. They have in fact won their last two clashes with the Blues but only 2/10 away clashes against Sir John Kirwan's team all-time, by an average score of 20-33. The hosts have won eight of the last eleven meetings between the teams at all venues while the visitors have trailed at half-time in 7/8 games since the sides last met and in nine of their last ten away fixtures. They have also gone down in their last five New Zealand derbies. There is a high chance of a very open game with two sides more than happy to run from deep and both having a habit of coughing up the ball at crucial moments. Dominance in possession and territory surely has to pay off for the Highlanders soon, but prefer to back the Blues by 1-12.
Brumbies vs Kings
The Brumbies have won five of their six games this season by an average score of 27-15. They've outscored Australian opposition in the second-half by at least fourteen points so far but been outscored themselves in the last three matches after the break by South African teams. The Brumbies have also won 35/40 games on their own patch against South African opposition. The Kings have trailed at the break in all five games while the Brumbies have led at that stage in their three home games. The Australian conference leaders have scored seven of their sixteen tries in the twenty minutes before the break whereas the Kings have conceded seven of nineteen in same period. Take the -11 half-time handicap for the hosts.
Sharks vs Crusaders
Going back to the start of the 2006 season, the Sharks have won 14/17 home games against New Zealand opposition by an average of 27-17. The Crusaders hold superiority in the head-to-head record though, winning fourteen of the last sixteen meetings. The Sharks scored 72 points combined in their first four games and then 64 against the Rebels in Round 5. Bar 2009, this particular clash has been relatively high scoring and the last four contests were decided by less than five points. The tries may well come between the 21-60 minute mark with the hosts scoring 12/13 then so far and the visitors 14/18. Looking at their last six away matches, the Crusaders have beaten the Chiefs and Stormers yet lost to the Rebels and Blues so calling their road games correctly has proved tough. They won last week without Kieran Read, Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Israel Dagg and Owen Franks (for the majority of the game). That is some achievement, but having lost Corey Flynn as well now, I can't see them backing it up against a rested Sharks outfit that surely won't lose as much ball on their own set-piece as the Stormers did. I'm happy to back the home win here.
Hail Mary
Hosea Gear has three tries in five matches, Robbie Coleman three in six and Israel Folau two in six – an anytime scorer treble for those player is 21.8 while a Rene Ranger / Ben Mowen / TJ Perenara treble is 61.2. It's 13.3 that all six home teams pick up a win this weekend and 6.0 for Highlanders +12 / Sharks +4 / Hurricanes -3 and Cheetahs +8.
I would be looking at 1-12 home winning margins for the Rugby5 options this week.

Gospel Reading

10th Monday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 21:18-22
At that time, as Jesus was returning to the city, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the wayside he went to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once. When the disciples saw it they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?" And Jesus answered them, "Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will be done. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."

OK…girlfriend was feeling no pain and did a happy drunken 'foorty niiinners!' shout out…so Ms Thing couldn't roll with it in the spirit of play and went cut throat gutter?
I think she's extremely lucky that the sister (even in her state) kept her response in check and showed that she was the one with class. I can see her saying this to the wrong woman and getting beat down on camera.ReplyCancel
Wow, the young reporter is taking herself a little too seriously …ReplyCancel
I like the exchange. I think that the drunk lady could have popped her head in and said woohoo niners! and then left the shot, and the reporter was super quick to shoot her down, it was gutter, but got the point across quickly. Are you here for an interview? She must have had that rehearsed because it probably happens constantly!ReplyCancel
The reporter will leave NOLA with an STDReplyCancel
Good for the reporter. That must easily be the hundredth time some jerk has done that to her, and this time she turned it back on them.
Best part was how fast the woman sobered up. "I don't have an STD. That's so disrespectful!"
Disrespectful, but yelling "49'ers!!" during the reporter's broadcast isn't?
And then she did it again!ReplyCancel
I deleted my previous post because I didn't get the full context the first time.
Anyway, I still think the reporter was unprofessional and downright mean. But, I could see how tired she is from being one of the few sober people on the street at the time. So, she decided to take it out on the 49ers fan who was just out having a good time.
In my opinion, the fan seems to be a nicer person than then the reporter, that's for sure!ReplyCancel
After reading these comments, I couldn't watch beyond the reporter saying "…the std rate." I didn't want to see that poor woman humiliated. 🙁 Very unprofessional, not to mention mean-spirited.ReplyCancel
AND FURTHERMORE . . . . . ( I cannot let this thing go)
The "drunk lady" seemed like a sweet woman (dressed in a stylish and non-slutto dress which you don't often see on Bourbon street) who wasn't even that obnoxious. She seems like a nice professional who got caught up in Superbowl fever and the rare night on the town, saw a camera and did a little "what what" because very few tipsy folks (in one of the most lushy spots in the United States) could resist that.
Sorry – I don't know why this is bugging me so muchReplyCancel
I'm with Sunny! What the hell else did this reporter expect doing a live report from Bourbon Street? She's lucky to have only encountered this lady! And while I'm sure the reporter thought she was being clever, it just came across badly.
Between Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl, I can only imagine NOLA is in rare form right now.ReplyCancel
