At the July Lunch and Learn the local business spotlight was the Castle Valley Co-op. Mistie Christiansen was the presenter. She said she started as a bookkeeper for the Co-op in April 2011. In December of that year she was promoted to manager. She said the Co-op employs 17 people. When she came on board she was startled to learn there was $400,000 extended in credit to Co-op customers. The Co-op also owed money to vendors. This was a huge amount for a small business. Christiansen began talking to Mike McCandless at the Emery County Economic Development to see what could be done to help. With the help of the Emery County Economic Development Council and the Southeastern Utah Association of Governments the Co-op was able to obtain loans to keep functioning. Credit was cut off to smaller customers but still extended to larger customers. It has made a difference. The money has been paid down by $300,000. Steps are still being made to turn around the books. These are hard times for the farmers and ranchers, with the drought and the fire, hay is in short supply. Things have been challenging.
Christiansen believes there is a market out there they aren't reaching. Research says that 65 percent of the people who buy tires are female. Tires are a big item for the Co-op and they can meet or beat most prices for tires. She said they are working to make the Co-op a more inviting store. The farmers wife will usually do the pricing for the items needed around the farm like tires. She would like to market more to the women to let them know what the Co-op has to offer its customers. In addition to tires the Co-op sells gas, bulk feed with deliveries, and fertilizer. Household items, gardening supplies and much more await Co-op customers.
Christiansen said they can have any tire ordered in within three days. They don't stock a large inventory of tires which helps them keep the prices down. She appreciates the support the community has offered the Co-op over the years and during this difficult time of readjustment. Christiansen said the future looks brighter and she appreciates the business chamber for inviting her to spotlight the Castle Valley Co-op. She encouraged everyone to come in and see what the Co-op has to offer.
The Castle Valley Co-op has two locations one in Ferron and one in Huntington.

Kay Vick, 44, weighed 246 pounds. She had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea - and she was about to be prescribed insulin for her diabetes.
However, Kay had also been researching weight loss surgery. She took notice when the LapBand® - the only bariatric procedure she qualified for due to a prior abdominal surgery - became covered by her health plan.
In 2009, Kay finally had her procedure at the Franciscan Center for Weight Management. Today she weighs just 127 pounds and wears size 5/6 instead of 22/24. "My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner."
As a customer service representative with a prominent health insurer, Kay sometimes talks with members about bariatric benefits. "I can only share my experience with them - but I definitely tell them what I experienced,"
she said.
Weight loss hasn't been Kay's only benefit, either. She's off her medications. "Three months after surgery, my cholesterol was normal. And I never had to give myself shots," she said.
Recently her husband commented that she's stopped sleeping all the time. "He said I just go-go-go! I told him that's right - and he had better keep up!" she said.

Skip to comments.Five Myths about Mormonism
Posted on 08/06/2011 4:01:34 PM PDT by Colofornian
The campaigns by Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman Jr. for the GOP presidential nomination, along with the popular and profane Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, are putting Mormons in the public eye.
1. Mormons practice polygamy.
Mainstream Mormons do not practice polygamy today, but it remains part of our history and theology. Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon religion, married at least 33 women (often without the consent of his first wife, Emma) and preached that polygamy was divinely sanctioned...
Polygamy remains a source of tension for mainstream Mormons. Mormon public figures routinely play down our polygamous history, saying that only a tiny percentage of 19th-century Mormon families were polygamous. (Historians say it was 20 to 30 percent.) But the LDS Church, which teaches that marriages or sealings performed in its temples are eternal, has never disavowed elements of Mormon theology suggesting that polygamy will be practiced in heaven. Church policy permits widowed and some divorced men to be sealed for all eternity to more than one wife, while Mormon women may not be sealed to more than one husband...some mainstream LDS Church members anticipate polygamy as part of eternity, while others reject it.
2. Mormons arent Christians.
A few weeks ago, an anchor on Fox News stated that Mitt Romney is obviously not a Christian.
Growing up in California, I frequently heard that I belonged to a cult...Some people will never see Mormons as Christians...
4. Mormon women are second-class citizens.
Mormon women are sometimes perceived as voiceless, mindless members of our faith; LDS Church spokespeople portray us as uniformly happy with our situation. Neither perspective is accurate.
...We believe in a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother...
5. A Mormon president would blur the line between church and state.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Brooks concedes & reveals here much more than Mormons tend to reveal on polygamy:
* Smith's 33 wives (tho she says "often" without his original wife's consent, I'd say that was "always")
* That 20-30% of 19th century Mormons were linked to it...vs. the "tiny %" its apologists have tried to suggest.
* That Mormons still believe polygamy is going on right now in heaven.
* One misstatement is made here by Brooks: Mormon women may not be sealed to more than one husband...
While that's true of living women, "A DECEASED woman may be sealed to ALL men to whom she was legally married during her life. (p.73) LDS Church, Church Handbook of Instructions, (LDS Church, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1998), page 72-73, Sealing Policies)
2 Corinthians 11
12 And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
Look, I just know that if Romney is the nominne, he's way better than Barack Obama. If people are sitting around obsessing over his Mormonism, it's a waste of enery and poor strategy. In the mean time, let's hope we can draft Paul Ryan or Mark Rubio...or both.

Some Mormon apologists actively lie for the Lord. Like the Islamic taqqiya, Mormons do lie for the advancement of the church. See Gordon Hinckley's interviews with the San Fran Chronicle and Larry King.
Some Mormons aren't lying; they just don't know what the church teaches.
They have GOT to be .... us!
What about Romney's stance on abortion?
Can we forget that?
If he has no value assigned to human life in his mind, How much moral structure has he really? If he ends up being the Republican Candidate, then all the skeptics over all the years were right. It just doesn't matter!
I really don't think it will end up that way. I pray that somebody like palin who cares about us and the unborn gets a shot. Otherwise, the noninvested rule, and we are subjected to rule by people who vote by buzzwords and catch phrases.
Thou shall not steal.....from another morman
Romney is a socialist. Electing him will be like pouring gasoline on a fire - just not as fast as Obama is pouring gas on the fire, but still feeding the fire. We need to go back to founding principles and engage the war against the socialist, while there is still an America to fight for. The last great chance for liberty is fading, Mitt doesn't even believe in the hope of liberty. He thinks the state can solve problems, he fails to recognize that the state attempting to solve problems is the problem.
What the author calls technicalities, I call the essence of the Gospel. In Christianity God becomes man to be a propitiation; Mormons think that men become Gods. Joseph Smith was a false prophet with a fake gospel;
Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Wait!! This is premature. Mittens hasn't been nominated yet! The Mormon stuff is supposed to be published after he's nominated. Somebody didn't get the memo????
2. Mormons arent Christians. True! They are polytheists.
3. Most Mormons are white, English-speaking conservatives. False! Many are white, English-speaking liberals who claim to be conservatives!
You're just saying this because it's true.
Way better for whom? (Not the pre-born)
Way better for whom? (Romney's already been on the Marriott porn payroll as a Marriott board member...so not better for porn addicts; certainly better for the porn industry)
Way better for whom? Socialist bureaucrats implementing all facets of Rom-Obamacare?
Way better for whom? The Mormon church using a Mormon POTUS as a massive PR tool?
Way better for whom? The RINOs (perhaps) permanently taking over the GOP as the conservative leaves it in droves?
Sixth Myth:
Myths 1-5 are false.
There is one God.
Myth #6: Joseph's Myth.
Millions of Mormons believe in Joseph's myth.
Office of First President & Living Prophet®:
August 1st, 2011
The message for this month is -
I see that he didn't mention 'ole Joe coming right out of the gate calling all other faiths, apostate, whores of Babylon, corrupt, etc.
Just mentions that this so called "hostility" was about converts.
On two parts.
This is the warning shot over the bow to all "moderates" in the GOP who might be tempted to vote for Romney in the primaries. They'll get avalanched by the MSM on this 24/7.
It'll become the "perfect storm" for liberal MSMers: A referendum on racism vs. the candidate who dared to belong to a racist organization as a full-grown-up (30 yo) "country clubber" who had the audacity to belong to an organization that had a sign on its temple doors, "No blacks allowed."
I see that he didnt mention ole Joe coming right out of the gate calling all other faiths, apostate, whores of Babylon, corrupt, etc. Just mentions that this so called hostility was about converts. Deceptive. On two parts. [Szonian]
Szonian, I wouldn't say that Mouw was 100% off-base in focusing on "converts" as a key issue; but certainly he wouldn't filter this "converts" issue the way Jesus did. (See Matthew 23:15 below)
Certainly, though, you're right that Mouw is guilty of reductionism...making it only an issue of wrestling for "converts." Indeed, 'ole Joe came right out of the gate calling all other faiths, apostate, whores of Babylon, corrupt, etc. -- and somehow this fails to be recognized by Mormon and MSM alike.
The reason why I think wrestling for "converts" was -- and still is -- a relevant issue is what Jesus said about the pre-Mormons -- the Pharisees:
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are." (Matt. 23:15)
Jesus indeed filtered it as a match-up between His compassionate blood being shed for future Christ-ones vs. legalists who would send over 25,000 new missionaries out o'er land and see to make others 'twice' the 'child of hell' they are.
Some people will never see Mormons as Christians...
Oh I dunno
There hope for all unbelievers that one day before they die they will be seen as Christians
Even Mormon can get saved and become Christians
Bingo! (To use a late-Saturday night commonly heard term)
To Mormons like Joanna Brooks, she fails to mention the "Grand Canyons" & as you said, focuses on so-called "technicalities." One of those "Grand Canyons" are that in true Christianity, men don't join the ranks of godhood to the tune of billions...like Lds "apostle" Orson Pratt taught. [Orson Pratt was the brother of Mitt Romney's original Mormon ancestor]
Another is that Christianity reveres, respects, worships, honors, glorifies and fears the Ultimate God who has always been God. Mormonism doesn't. In fact, Mormonism militates vs. such a God by trying to pretend that the average man or woman is as eternal as God is.
[See Lds Doctrine & Covenants 93:29,33...which teaches that before any "spirit" baby was born near Kolob to a mom-god and a daddy-god, everybody...including all the gods...were "hangin' out" as intelligences in goo soup somewhere]
Some people will never see Mormons as Christians...
If it really worries you so much
you need to take it up with God
Hes the one who set the criteria for Christianity
And being a Mormon doesnt cut it
You need to complain to Him...
4. Mormon women are second-class citizens.
Mormon women are sometimes perceived as voiceless, mindless members of our faith
For this you need to get with the males in your religion
This was their idea
Crying to the readers of a secular newspaper just wont do it for you...
Take some Prozac and call your bishop in the morning..
Oh I dunno There hope for all unbelievers that one day before they die they will be seen as Christians Even Mormon can get saved and become Christians [Tennessee Nana]
Amen to that TN!
Oh, & btw, I think it'd be good if we defined the term, "Christian." To some, they think if you read the New Testament & celebrate Christmas, that somehow qualifies you!
I'd like to go back to the earliest year when the term "Christian" was first used...and describe what they were like even in those interchanges where derisive people accused them of being "Christians."
Where do we find that? (The book of Acts):
Two of the earliest recorded usages were highlighted by Dr. Luke, whom God used to write Acts:
* 25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians FIRST at Antioch. (Acts 11:25-26)
And again, in Acts 26:
* 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?
In the most simplest of terms, "Christian" = Christ-one. One devoted to the true Christ of the Bible.
Obviously, we could let the entire New Testament thoroughly and comprehensively provide even a greater/more detailed contextual definition of "Christian." But I am even willing to just look at the most immediate contexts for how that word was used: Acts 11 and Acts 26.
From Acts 11, we see in vv. 23-24 before the usage of "Christian" in v. 26 is: When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
These early "Christians"...
...acknowledged foremost God's grace (Acts 11:23) [Mormons heavily focus on "good works" & earning/meriting...grace = "gifts" which can't be worked for]
...had a single "Lord" (Acts 11:23-24) (not multiple gods like Mormons do),
...and sought to be filled with both the Holy Spirit and faith (Acts 11:24)[not simply ritualistic legalistic good works' checklist; many Mormons refer to the Holy Ghost as an "it" -- not even recognizing His personality]
This single "Lord" mentioned twice in Acts 11:23-24 is interesting when compared to Acts 26:15 (see below).
When we look @ what rulers Agrippa and Festus reacted to in Acts 26 -- Paul's message -- that evoked Agrippa labeling Paul a "Christian" (Acts 26:28)...what was Paul's message to them?
Christians are
(a) those who advocate that the world...
...open(s) their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me. (Acts 26:18)
(b) Furthermore, they preach that others "should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds." (Acts 26:19)
(c) They proclaim that Christianity is compatible with Judaism as a Judeo-Christian movement: "I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen 23 that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles. (Acts 26:22-23)
Therefore, both the resurrection of Jesus and the Jesus as the in-context awaited Messiah are part of parcel of what/who a Christian embraces.
Finally, look @ the beginning of the apostle Paul's testimony as to how he and Jesus interacted. 13 verses before we see Agrippa calling Paul a "Christian," Paul says:
15 Then I asked, Who are you, Lord? I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting, the Lord replied. (Acts 26:15)
Sorry, Joanna Brooks. Christians don't have two or multiple "lords." We regard Jesus as the very same LORD, Yahweh -- God, Himself.
"You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind.
The first man that committed the odious crime of killing one of his brethren will be cursed the longest of any one of the children of Adam. Cain slew his brother. Cain might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings.
This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin. Trace mankind down to after the flood, and then another curse is pronounced upon the same race--that they should be the 'servant of servants', and they will be, until that curse is removed."
Brigham Young-President and second 'Prophet' of the Mormon Church, 1844-1877- Extract from Journal of Discourses.
Here are two examples from their 'other testament', the Book of Mormon.
2 Nephi 5: 21 'And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.'
Alma 3: 6 'And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren, who consisted of Nephi, Jacob and Joseph, and Sam, who were just and holy men.'
August 27, 1954 in an address at Brigham Young University (BYU), Mormon Elder, Mark E Peterson, in speaking to a convention of teachers of religion at the college level, said:
(Rosa Parks would have probably told Petersen under which wheel of the bus he should go sit.)
1967, (then) Mormon President Ezra Taft Benson said,
"The Communist program for revolution in America has been in progress for many years and is far advanced. First of all, we must not place the blame upon Negroes. They are merely the unfortunate group that has been selected by professional Communist agitators to be used as the primary source of cannon fodder."
We are told that on June 8, 1978, it was 'revealed' to the then president, Spencer Kimball, that people of color could now gain entry into the priesthood.
According to the church, Kimball spent many long hours petitioning God, begging him to give worthy black people the priesthood. God finally relented.
Sometime before the 'revelation' came to chief 'Prophet' Spencer Kimball in June 1978, General Authority, Bruce R McConkie had said:
"The Blacks are denied the Priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty.
The Negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain blessings are concerned, particularly the priesthood and the temple blessings that flow there from, but this inequality is not of man's origin, it is the Lord's doings."
(Mormon Doctrine, pp. 526-527).
When Mormon 'Apostle' Mark E Petersen spoke on 'Race Problems- As they affect the Church' at the BYU campus in 1954, the following was also said:
"...if the negro accepts the gospel with real, sincere faith, and is really converted, to give him the blessings of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he will get celestial glory."
When Mormon 'Prophet' and second President of the Church, Brigham Young, spoke in 1863 the following was also said:
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God is death on the spot. This will always be so."
(Journal of Discourses, Vo. 10, p. 110)
Yeah; Native Americans are althroughout the Book of MORMON; too.
I saw a striking contrast in the progress of the Indian people today ... they are fast becoming a white and delightsome people.... For years they have been growing delightsome, and they are now becoming white and delightsome, as they were promised.... The children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation.
At one meeting a father and mother and their sixteen-year-old daughter were present, the little member girl-sixteen-sitting between the dark father and mother, and it was evident she was several shades lighter than her parentson the same reservation, in the same hogan, subject to the same sun and wind and weather.... These young members of the Church are changing to whiteness and to delightsomeness.
One white elder jokingly said that he and his companion were donating blood regularly to the hospital in the hope that the process might be accelerated.
(Improvement Era, December 1960, pp.922-23). (p. 209)
How could ANYONE thing that?
oh man
oh man
oh man
This one is a charm!
One moment she claims that Mormons are Christians. Then, a couple of paragraphs later she writes "We believe in a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother". What's up?
Why... ANYone knows that to have SPIRIT children in heaven just waiting to inhabit a HUMAN body, one MUST have a MOTHER who was, ahem, you know, by a Father!
Since WHEN???
Questions put to Joseph Smith: "'Do you believe the Bible?' [Smith:]'If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do'. When asked 'Will everybody be damned, but Mormons'? [Smith replied] 'Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 119).Joseph Smith: "for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible" (from Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith-History 1:12). "What is it that inspires professors of Christianity generally with a hope of salvation? It is that smooth, sophisticated influence of the devil, by which he deceives the whole world" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.270).Brigham Young stated this repeatedly: "When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73); "The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171); "With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199); "And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.24); "Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230).Orson Pratt proclaimed: "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent" (The Seer, p. 255).Pratt also said: "This great apostasy commenced about the close of the first century of the Christian era, and it has been waxing worse and worse from then until now" (Journal of Discourses, vol.18, p.44) and: "But as there has been no Christian Church on the earth for a great many centuries past, until the present century, the people have lost sight of the pattern that God has given according to which the Christian Church should be established, and they have denominated a great variety of people Christian Churches, because they profess to be ...But there has been a long apostasy, during which the nations have been cursed with apostate churches in great abundance" (Journal of Discourses, 18:172).President John Taylor stated: "Christianity...is a perfect pack of nonsense...the devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work than the Christianity of the nineteenth century." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.167); "Where shall we look for the true order or authority of God? It cannot be found in any nation of Christendom." (Journal of Discourses, 10:127).James Talmage said: "A self-suggesting interpretation of history indicates that there has been a great departure from the way of salvation as laid down by the Savior, a universal apostasy from the Church of Christ". (A Study of the Articles of Faith, p.182).President Joseph Fielding Smith said: "Doctrines were corrupted, authority lost, and a false order of religion took the place of the gospel of Jesus Christ, just as it had been the case in former dispensations, and the people were left in spiritual darkness." (Doctrines of Salvation, p.266). "For hundreds of years the world was wrapped in a veil of spiritual darkness, until there was not one fundamental truth belonging to the place of salvation ...Joseph Smith declared that in the year 1820 the Lord revealed to him that all the 'Christian' churches were in error, teaching for commandments the doctrines of men" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p.282).More recent statements by apostle Bruce McConkie are also very clear: "Apostasy was universal...And this darkness still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol 3, p.265); "Thus the signs of the times include the prevailing apostate darkness in the sects of Christendom and in the religious world in general" (The Millennial Messiah, p.403); "a perverted Christianity holds sway among the so-called Christians of apostate Christendom" (Mormon Doctrine, p.132); "virtually all the millions of apostate Christendom have abased themselves before the mythical throne of a mythical Christ whom they vainly suppose to be a spirit essence who is incorporeal uncreated, immaterial and three-in-one with the Father and Holy Spirit" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269); "Gnosticism is one of the great pagan philosophies which antedated Christ and the Christian Era and which was later commingled with pure Christianity to form the apostate religion that has prevailed in the world since the early days of that era." (Mormon Doctrine, p.316).President George Q. Cannon said: "After the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized, there were only two churches upon the earth. They were known respectively as the Church of the Lamb of God and Babylon. The various organizations which are called churches throughout Christendom, though differing in their creeds and organizations, have one common origin. They all belong to Babylon" (Gospel Truth, p.324).President Wilford Woodruff stated: "the Gospel of modern Christendom shuts up the Lord, and stops all communication with Him. I want nothing to do with such a Gospel, I would rather prefer the Gospel of the dark ages, so called" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p.196).
Oh my
And I try to let every FR lurker, black/white/green know as much about ALL of MORMON history as I can!
Don't forget the purple ones.
Good one!

The first three layers consist of 3/4" medium density foam, with the outer flap designed with soft foam and round poly insert. Two low density foam flaps protect the calf area with an additional large dual leg wrap extending over the calf wraps. The dual leg wrap is constructed with a round poly insert for added inner skate protection and two high density foam inserts that will help seal off the 5 hole faster.
Various straps are used to secure the leg pads into place. Adjustable elastic straps secure the thigh guard and knee cradle in place adding comfort and protection. Two nylon straps adjust around the upper leg, locking into place with the quick release plastic buckles. Leather straps are used throughout the rest of the Tour Bio Customs, three that lock the calf into place, and two that are designed to keep the skate from moving around as well as keep the pads from lifting.
The Tour Bio Custom goalie leg pads are very well priced for the protection they provide making them a great choice.

We all know the awesomely daring new sister of the British monarchy gets a lot of attention for her carefree antics, crazy hats, and cool fashion sense. But, who would have guessed that Pippa's most popular body part would beat out Pippa herself for the title of Denim Icon of 2011: her royal rump. One look at these photos (and these… and these… and these), with Pip's posterior sporting denim brands like 7 For All Mankind, Goldsign, Met, and J. Brand, and we've decided that we couldn't agree more. Now go off and spend the next hour googling all of the websites out there about Ms. Middleton and her famous fanny. You know you want to.

We'll have more as the WSJ publishes it, but fresh headlines out a few moments ago paint it in broad strokes for BlackRock (BLK), which is coming through on its pledge to cut fees, and then some. We're particularly intrigued by the bit about new ETFs to compete with Vanguard Group:
*WSJ: BlackRock to Slash Fees By as Much as 65% On Some ETFs
*WSJ: Firm Plans Sweeping Changes to Regain Market Share
*WSJ: BlackRock Will Launch New ETFs to Take Aim at Vanguard
*WSJ: BlackRock Set To Unveil First-Ever Television Ad Campaign
If you missed the weekend coverage of BlackRock in Barron's, here it is, and an ETF Focus on Vanguard's index changes.
Update 3:44 p.m.: From the story by the WSJ's Kirsten Grind. Link here:
BlackRock is slashing fees on four stock ETFs and two bond ETFs. The iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF, for example, will see its expense ratio cut to 0.07% from 0.20%, much cheaper than the average ETF's expense ratio of 0.62%, according to Morningstar.
BlackRock is also cutting fees on the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF, the iShares Core Total U.S. Bond Market ETF and the iShares Core Long-Term U.S. Bond ETF.
BlackRock is scheduled to roll out four new ETFs–three international stock ETFs and one bond ETF–on Oct. 22.
One of the firm's new international stock ETFs–the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF–will compete directly with Vanguard's MSCI Emerging Market ETF, which has about $56 billion in assets and has seen $10 billion in net inflows so far this year, according to Morningstar. BlackRock's new emerging markets ETF is priced at 0.18%, just below the 0.20% Vanguard charges for its MSCI Emerging Market ETF.
BlackRock also will reorganize its sales force, tripling the number of people selling its ETFs to financial advisers to about 375 nationwide.
Update Tuesday 11:02: Here's out first take from last night — on why the new "core" lineup of products is pretty significant.

Long year sir yes. It was good but 22 pagessss?
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
iknorite?! but it was a nice surprise that it came out earlier than i was told. i was waiting on july 15th but here it is today!! woot!
anyway, what a great chapter (albeit short). we get to see where all that pent up resentment for allen came from in relation to cross. lol. for a guy like him to wash a child's bed linens and feed him....no wonder he made sure allen paid for his debts later on. cross probably thought allen was actually paying HIM back anyway! lol.
so we see where allen went using the gate. smart boy. he will definitely find some answers there. it was heartbreaking to see him when he was first brought over there by cross. SO traumatized. SO hurt. my heart broke for him.
It's not like it's a monthly chapter, right? Oh wai-
at this point, it isn't even a monthly release lol. the last one was two and a half months ago. i was SO hoping she'd do a double issue to make up for the time lost.
Fu*king 21 paged chapter, was pretty good , but after all that time, I hoped we will get more, especially as this was an extra story chapter (only by name)... well I suppose she worked hard on charagure. I must admit, it still has "that", something that I don't fell from bleach anymore.
Is it only me or D gray man is getting more and more carried away?
I mean it's true that there are big gaps between releases but the chapters have lost their former intensities. The drawing is clearly more different than the previous chapters... I feel like it's no longer the same author (mangaka)...
It's nice though to finally read a new chapter.
i know she has many assistants helping her, especially when she's on hiatus due to illness or whatever so they may be taking over a lot of the work. it has certainly lost the gothic style she started out with. now it's all weird/supernatural. there were rumors that she was grooming others to take over the series eventually but at this point, i still think it's her work. i hope that whatever time she spent on making the character book (charagure) was worth it. now i gotta find it.
hopefully now that allen has found his way back to a place where he can get info, we will learn more about him, the 14th, and mana and finally get his arc really going forward. meanwhile, back at the Order, all hell is potentially breaking loose. hoshino has a LOT of issues to address, even moreso now. and now we must wait until aug 4th for the next one. hoepfully it's more than a piddly 21 pages!
what really got my was this... even though it's a side angle, you can tell he looks like the earl. (can someone help me with these pictures)
^ Weren't those the copys of the pics from the novels ? You can check them to see how he really looks like.
BTW. Those 2 character already appeared in the first novel :
This could mean, that we may get the backstory of how Lavi lost his friend in one of the Order's missions.

War Eagle Mike McClelland Finesse Spinnerbaits
The War Eagle Finesse Spinnerbait was designed by pro angler Mike McCelland to catch a quick limit of fish. The compact size of the Finesse Spinnerbait will generate those extra bites during tough fishing conditions. The Finesse Spinnerbait features a dual length Bass Eagle pro series skirt, Mustad Ultra Power Point hook, and Sampo swivels. All these quality components is the reason why War Eagle is one of the most productive spinnerbaits on the market.
Mike McClelland finished 4th in the 2009 Bassmaster Classic while fishing the 3/8-ounce War Eagle Finesse Spinnerbait.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I LOVE THESE SPINNERBAITS! I have a pond behind my house & the bass are really finicky & they're really hard to catch but with thus bait it was no problem! I had the mouse color because the bluegill in the pond are gray.
From: Jay: USA 5/31/16
Comments: I am a big fan of WE spinnerbaits because they catch good numbers. The quality isn't bad but the nothing special. The lead is not particularly dense & the wire and head will loosen over time. Also I could care less about cosmetics but the paint doesnt hold up. With all of this said however this bait, the T1 and the WE double willow are the only spinnerbaits I buy anymore simply due to performance of the bait.
From: Nate: Pasco, WA 5/26/15
Comments: In windy conditions I used Shimmer Blue with a white little dipper trailer in and around emergent grass. They didn't just hit it. They engulfed it. Every fish had it way down their throat. Swims beautifully and looks realistic with and without the trailer. Held up well after many fish.
From: Brian: Oak Forest, IL 5/25/15
Comments: I've used the War Eagle Finesse spinnerbait for the last 2 seasons. I can say, with 100% confidence, that is a perfect spinnerbait. The size may be small, but it casts easily and far, has a big profile thanks to the elaborate skirt, and the fish here just love it.
From: Nik: WI 2/10/15
Comments: I've been using Mike McClelland's finesse spinner baits for around 2 years now and have caught bass, snakeheads and crappie of all sizes. I have them in both Mouse & Pond Scum Perch and they've become a go-to lure.
From: Mike: South Jersey
Comments: I've used these for an entire summer, now I'm ready to review! Simply put, I always have one tied on, smallies kill em, largemouth love em as well. These are by far a confidence bait, always catch fish on them. Great colour selection to boot...
From: Derek: Quebec, Canada
Comments: I have fished spinnerbaits for over 20 yrs and find this finesse spinnerbait to the best I have used. I fish small lakes and ponds from a float tube and I have had great success with the Pond Scum Perch and the Sun Perch. I fish these baits on a Kisler light Carbon Steel rod with a Lews Pro Speed 6.4:1 reel, spooled with 30# TUF Line SuperCast Braid. Recently caught and released 9 large mouth bass with 8 in the 4# range which is great for a small lake in south central Idaho.
From: Grandpafish: Idaho USA
Comments: By far the best spinnerbait on the market. Smallies kill them on the Susquehanna.
From: Dave: Harrisburg, PA
Comments: Fished one these puppies yesterday for the first time and let me just say WOW! I caught 9 bass total on a pressured lake, the biggest was 3.8 pounds. I have fished a lot of different spinner baits but these are a must have in the tackle box. Slow roll them in shallow water along the banks and hang on! Awesome product! Will be buying more!
From: Dave: Jackson Ohio US
Comments: This spinnerbait has caught me many fish. War Eagle spinners are my favorite brand to use. As a previous person commented they can bend out of shape but are very easily bent back to work like new. Slow roll this puppy through the right channels of good type of weeds and you'll get some nice fish usually. I also like Revenge spinners and have caught several fish on those too. Nothin like a spinnerbait strike! Good fishing all.
From: Pat: San Jose, CA
Comments: i throw war eagle spinnerbaits exclusively, and these are awesome. this bait is extremely versatile. from creeks to rivers to ponds and lakes, they put fish in the boat. typical quality product from war eagle.
From: Dan: WV
Comments: Well this spinnerbat is pretty much the best one I've ever used! Fished it while my buddy fished a plastic worm and caught more than him. Haha. But this bait is made to catch fish, not fishermen. It comes through all kinds of cover......including trees on the banks. Bends pretty bad but is easy to bend back and the skirt and hooks are top notch. I like the amount of flash from the blades. The jighead is also very shiny. It casts a mile and runs good. Will buy more!
From: Britt: South Alabama

Found 1 Mentors.
Chicago, IL
Mentor In: Low Calorie, Greek
Why I want to be mentor: I love the cuisine and think it's nice to have an "authentic" source for international food.
Lesson Learned: Greek food is typically pretty healthy but a lot of people tend to be a little heavy handed with things like oil. I've learned how to make the cuisine just as tasty with even less guilt.
Tip: The Mediterranean Diet is one of the healthiest - it focuses on lots of veggies, proteins, and good fats like olive oil.

How little does an artist need in a moving image to tell a story? In this film, artist Tommy Hartung employs minimal means and materials to create animated movies, performing a series of experiments in his basement studio in Ridgewood, Queens. Hartung's remodeled underground space functions as a workshop—or in the words of a friend, an "arena"—with colored lights, dioramas, and puppet-like characters. Using stop-motion photography, Hartung records a series of simple actions: blowing smoke through an artificial mouth, dripping Karo syrup on a frog, crumpling plastic wrap, adjusting a doll's clothing, and funnelling salt through a hole. Preferring what the artist terms "dead cinema," Hartung's hand-crafted props and their intentionally un-lifelike movements are against the grain of current computer-generated animation spectacles. Featuring scenes from the works The Story of Edward Holmes (2008) and The Ascent of Man (2009).
Tommy Hartung (b. 1979, Akron, Ohio, USA) lives and works in Queens, New York.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
The city of Green River and the mayor hosted their annual Volunteer Appreciation dinner at the LDS church on Dec. 16. Everyone who donated their time throughout the year as a volunteer received a certificate and a free Mexican dinner served by the Green River Community Center. The food was prepared by Ben's Cafe.
The Community Center decorated the gym with a Fiesta theme. Christine Monroe read the names of the volunteers and the certificates were passed out to those present.
Mayor Glen Dale Johnson awarded the Green River Lifetime of Service Award to G. Thomas Burr.
Monroe read about Burr's life, "Tom was born in Moab and he graduated from Grand County High in 1950. He attended Carbon College.
"He served in the US Army during the Korean War from 1952-54.
"While in Korea he was asked to be the LDS group leader. They held services in a quonset hut on the base. Tom has held a variety of positions in his church.
"In 1954 he married Phyliss Hunt on Sept. 11. They have five children, 24 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Tom was an athlete, playing BYU football and running track.
"In 1956 he graduated from BYU and began teaching in Snowflake, Ariz. He coached athletics for five years.
"In 1961 they moved and he taught in Monticello and later in Provo. After the BYU High School closed its doors they moved to Green River where Tom became the principal of grades K-12. In 1990 he retired as a school administrator from the Emery County School District. In 2001 he was awarded the Hometown Hero Award.
"Through his life Tom has served on 11 different boards. Currently he is serving as a city councilman and the commander of the American Legion Post 104. Tom is always a highly respected and productive team member; he has voted to support development and services for this area and our community. His diligence and determination have continued to make a difference in the lives of many," said Monroe.
Burr's family was on hand to see their father and grandfather accept the award. Grandson Brady Burr sang at the dinner and surprised his grandparents with a song written for them.
The children present took time to pound on the pinata until its goodies spilled on the floor to the delight of the children.

Nourishing Jewish Connection Across Asia's Communities
Stacy Palestrant is originally from Phoenix, Arizona where she grew up affiliated with the Jewish Conservative movement. But for the past four and a half years she and her family have lived in Beijing, China, where they are equally involved in both the local Chabad and the "unaffiliated" community, Kehilat Beijing. Her daughters, ages 5 and 3, speak fluent Chinese, Hebrew, and English; and she believes that just as being proficient in multiple languages helps people traveling from one country to the next, fluency in diverse forms of Jewish expression holds advantages for Jews traversing different communities.

Are there any programs that can super compress jpg files without quality loss? manga images are taking up a lot space on my server =[
Are there any programs that can super compress jpg files without quality loss? manga images are taking up a lot space on my server =[
First off, there is no such thing as super compressing an image without losing quality. What you should do is compress the folders i.e. RAR, 7zip, zip, etc...
JPEG's typically get 0% compression from most compression formats. They're already compressed. The only thing you can do is lower the quality.
I have heard about lossless JPEG, I confess I haven't really checked it out.
I conversion to other formats might save more space...like PNG, for instance. PNG is "Lossless", has smaller files, and better definiton than JPEGs. Downside is that some older browsers might not render it well.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Easiest way to make them smaller is to open them up in photoshop and click "save for web & devices" and choose the PNG-8 format.
Only if they're Manga pages mind you. If they're colour then you'll have to go with regular PNG or PNG-24 (PNG-8 doesn't support RGB, only gray-scale), Either way, they'll still be smaller than a JPG image without having to compromise on quality.
You can just record a script too and automate the whole process.
I prefer the software Infima Jpeg Compression'.I use that for compression if the jpg files.That gives the exact result without damaging the image.
if you're still looking for an image compressor, then RIOT is the choice for you

Vitamins and Herbs to Help Fertility
Treatments for infertility usually focus on high-tech drugs such as clomiphene and procedures such as GIFT and in vitro fertilization. But if you have unexplained infertility, you may be able to help your chances of conceiving in a decidedly low-tech way: by taking vitamins and herbs.
Along with eating a healthy, balanced diet that's low in fat and alcohol and abstaining from smoking and taking illicit drugs, taking certain vitamins can balance hormones and boost egg or sperm production. Certain herbs are also believed to aid fertility, but they are not regulated by the FDA and, as a result, their effectiveness and safety are still unclear. In addition, certain herbs can interfere with prescribed and over-the-counter medications, so always talk to your fertility specialist or doctor before taking any fertility herbs.
The following are some vitamins and herbs that may help you conceive.
For Men
For Women
For Men
For Women
Your fertility specialist may recommend taking prenatal vitamins as part of your treatment. In this case, review any additional supplements or herbs with your doctor before taking them.

Turquoise - Pretty!
"Shoes are a bit loose and they can't really be adjusted (the rear side straps move, but not enough to tighten nicely), so there is quite a bit of slop when walking, but they are beautiful shoes! Prettier in person than on the website. Turquoise shoes are a bright peacock blue with iridescent clear stones and gold accents."

GRID-Arendal, the Arendal Diving Centre/Diving Club and Flumill AS celebrated World Oceans Day with a series of events including a refreshing dip in the sea in front of the UN House.
Members of the Arendal Diving Club shared their experiences and findings when diving in the waters around Arendal. They picked up garbage from the bottom of the harbour area, showing a bad example of how people are treating the ocean.
On the other hand; as an example of harnessing the resources of the ocean; representatives from Flumill AS presented their patented technology and plans to test a 1.5 MW tidal power pilot system by the end of this year.
The theme of this year's World Oceans Day was "Our Oceans: greening our future".
More info about the day and the activities happening worldwide can be found on http://worldoceansday.org
