CASTLE DALE - Oral Eugene Johansen, 83, passed away at his home on April 29, 2002 of natural causes.
He was born Sept. 24, 1918 in Castle Dale to Peter Eugene and Oral Koffod Johansen. His mother having died in childbirth, he was reared by Myrle Beckstrum Johansen. He married May 11, 1940 to Grace Lee Nixon in the Manti LDS Temple.
His 37 years as a teacher of history, political science and forensics at Emery High School set him apart as an individual who knew full well the value of education and its immutable and cardinal place in our world education has.
Throughout his life, he served his fellow citizens with great compassion and uncommon wisdom.
And moreover, he served on many and varied fronts. He served as chairman of the Emery Water Conservancy District since its inception in 1962. He was president of the Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company for 50 years.
While choosing to teach those who would control the future, he also served on countless civic councils and boards and, additionally, chose to serve with distinction as the mayor of Castle Dale.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
In most cases having a little muscle is a good thing, but Emery County has the dubious distinction of having the first positive DNA tests for a mussel of a different breed.
The zebra mussel has been detected at Electric Lake. No adult mussels have been found at this point.
The Division of Wildlife Resources has been involved this year in educating the public about the quagga and zebra mussels. The DWR reported to the Emery County Public Lands Council and also Sherrel Ward organized a special meeting of all water users in the area to discuss the mussels and a plan of attack to stop their spread.
Cody Allred from PacifiCorp addressed the public lands council, he said since the press release on Nov. 18 which declared that genetic material from the zebra mussel had been detected in water samples collected from Electric Lake, they have been learning everything they can about the mussel.
At the Wildlife Board meeting on Dec. 4, the board recommended that Electric Lake be listed as the first body of water infested with zebra mussels. Since this listing Allred said PacifiCorp has gone into a reactive stage and will be part of the group involved in preparing a rapid response plan in dealing with the mussels. Part of the plan will include ways to prevent the spread of the mussels to other bodies of water. "We have pledged our full cooperation to minimize the impacts of the mussel. Mussels disrupt the ability to transport water and they clog up the delivery system. They impact the fisheries and compete with other fish in the reservoir," said Allred.
Allred said PacifiCorp has a sister power plant in the Mid-West they have been in touch with to draw from their experience in dealing with mussels. One thing Allred said they have learned is the mussels are manageable and there are treatments out there, with more research being done at the present time. One advantage in the situation at Electric Lake is the early detection of the mussels before they become a major infestation. Treatments have been implemented in the East and Mid-West where they have been dealing with the mussels since the early 1980s. Ultraviolet treatment is one possibility. Another thing Allred said they have learned is once you get the mussels it is nearly impossible to get rid of them.
Dan Keller from the DWR said treatments of small bodies of water seem to work well, but a body of water as large as Electric Lake wouldn't be feasible to treat because of the costs involved.
It is not known the source of the mussels in Electric Lake. Speculation included boats, water trucks or birds, but it isn't known for certain.
Allred said the quagga mussels have been flourishing in Lake Mead and were first detected there in 2007. They have spread rapidly. Infected waters now include, Lake Havasu, Lake Mohave, central Arizona project waters and two Colorado reservoirs. The infestation is continuing to spread, but the West is 20 years behind the Mid-West.
One advantage Electric Lake has in the growth of the mussels will be its elevation and colder water temperatures. The mussels breeding season will not be as long at Electric Lake. Optimal water temperature for mussels is 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. At Lake Mead the mussels have five-six breeding cycles a season.
Keller said the mussels cause problems anywhere they end up.
Keller said water samples were collected from bodies of water all over Utah for testing. The first test was under the microscope and if anything suspicious appeared then this water was tested further with the DNA testing at an independent laboratory. Suspicious waters also include Joe's Valley and Huntington North Reservoir. Huntington Reservoir, at the top of Huntington Canyon Scofield and Millsite did not test as suspicious. Pelican and Red Fleet in the Uintah's tested as suspicious.
Jay Mark Humphrey, director from the Emery Water Conservancy District said that since Huntington North gets water from Electric Lake chances are high that Huntington North is also an infested water. "What do we do? Do we restrict boating? This is a tough situation and a real problem," said Humphrey.
Keller said the DWR has undertaken the education of the public and the boat owners. One method currently under use is the decontamination of the boats with high pressure scalding hot water 140 degrees and a complete wash of the entire boat inside and out including: dock lines, storage compartments, anchor, live wells, bilge, prop, motor intakes, gimble area, rollers/bunkers, axle, hull, boat trailer and through-hull fittings.
Keller said one treatment for mussels is potassium chloride which has been shown to disrupt zebra mussel colonies. This treatment would be more successful like at the power plant with their intake water.
Even with treatments the mussels come back.
A formal plan of action will be worked on throughout the winter months and will be in place by spring.
Ward said there are some real concerns if the irrigators get so concerned as to shut down the boating and the fishing in area waters. "It could be a real problem to the whole county, we need to get a plan," said Ward.
New technology is also being perfected which is developing a bacteria which will kill the mussels. This wouldn't be effective on a large body of water, but in an irrigation pond or smaller bodies of water.
Keller said they are waiting for the labs to process DNA samples of the suspicious water bodies. These test results are expected back in January and then it will be known if these other waters will be listed as infested also.
In Minnesota when they first became aware of the infestation of mussels they were in four bodies of water. Minnesota became very proactive in dealing with the mussels and stopping their invasion. They hired biologists and through education and decontamination of boats using the infected lakes, the mussels have been held to these four original bodies of water which is remarkable considering all the lakes in Minnesota.
Over the next few months the interested parties will work on the response plan and develop a regional specific plan of attack. Keller said they are looking for input from the water users, the power plants and other interested parties.
The question was raised of where the funds are going to come from to fight the mussels. Ward questioned the Washington delegation representatives from Rep. Matheson and Sen. Bennett's offices on the possibility of federal funding. They said they would check with their bosses to see what can be done and will also research where the funding came from for the work on the mussels in the East. The Utah State Legislature provided money for the current year which was spent on education, signage and portable boat cleaning units which traveled around from reservoir to reservoir throughout the boating season just past. Lake Powell has a permanent decontamination station.
Mussels can attach to any hard surface. Samples have been taken from the Colorado River too.
The attendees at the water users meeting wondered how quickly the mussels spread. Keller said it's been two years since Colorado detected the mussels and they are now seeing adult mussels.
One method of combatting the mussels is drawing down ponds as far as they can to kill the mussels by removing their water source. A body of water like Huntington North could be drawn down and then treated with potassium chloride which could be successful in killing some of the mussels. Copper sulfate has also been used with some success but it also killed some of the fish when it was used back East.
The group discussed the need for each reservoir to have an action plan. The actions and definitions will be recorded in the response plan. Everyone needs to know what their part is in the response and which indicators will be a call for action.
Part of the action plan will be enforcement. The law states that after fishing in an infected water a boat must be cleaned either by the boater or professionally done before launching in another body of water.
Keller said these laws will be enforced. The DWR doesn't want to close waters to boating and fishing, but those determinations will have to be made by the water body operator on an as needed basis. Keller passed out copies of the state plan and he said the regional plans will have more details on each body of water. Most of the reservoirs main purpose is agricultural and agricultural needs will be placed first above recreation. The water users group will meet again in January to discuss the roles and responsibilities of each group and define these roles. Larry Dalton is the state program coordinator and he will come down in January to get everyone started on the plan.
Paul Birdsey, DWR, said that Minnesota has been very successful in containing the mussels to the original four bodies of water due to their control of boating activities on the infected waters.
Craig Johansen suggested they lobby the legislature for continued funding of the quagga mussel preventative measures and to make the legislature aware of what has been done to date and how important it is to get a handle on this right now.
Keller said they have plans for the program director to lobby the legislature.
All 65,000 boat owners in Utah were mailed a pamphlet discussing the mussel and how to prevent its spread. Billboards have been placed throughout the state to get the message out. The DWR has also been to boat shows to educate people. Everyone needs to be made aware of the problem because everyone depends on water. Keller said the boat owners have been very compliant because they don't want to see their waters ruined.
Utah has patterned much of their program after Minnesota's program, however, the "Rapid Response Strategy" was written by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
Now that Electric Lake has been listed as being infested, it would be illegal to take a boat from Electric Lake and launch it at any other water body without first going through the decontamination process. The entire "Rapid Response Strategy" is listed on the Emery County Progress website; www.ecprogress.com Here is how the decontamination process works. If a boater completes the do-it-yourself decontamination they are deemed clean and free to launch.
If they have been in a infested water body more recently than the recommended drying time, and have not self decontaminated, then the law requires them to have their boat professionally cleaned. That is why we have technicians at the boat ramps asking people where they have been boating, if we find that they are in need of a professional decontamination we can do that for them at the lake (free of charge) and then allow them to launch. (See attachment for state law and complete
Do-it-Yourself Decontamination: Boat owners must clean and drain their boat and equipment as they leave a water body, then dry it for an appropriate amount of time between boating trips at home.
· Clean mud, plants, animals or other debris from boat or equipment;
· Drain the ballast tanks, bilge, livewells, and motor;
· Dry boat and equipment for 7 days summer, 18 days spring or fall, or freeze the boat and equipment in winter for 3 days; OR Professional Decontamination: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' staff, including authorized volunteers, Utah Peace Officers, which includes Conservation Officers and state Park Rangers, and Utah Department of Transportation Port of Entry Agents, under authority of the Utah Aquatic Invasive Species Interdiction Act, and other properly trained persons, will decontaminate boats and equipment infested with AIS as per established protocols. This effort due to capitalistic opportunity is intended to induce proper decontaminations by private vendors.
· Wash the trailer and boat inside and out, including flush ballast tanks, bilge, livewells and motors with high pressure, 140 degree scalding water.

With the help of 245 sponsoring agencies in 2012, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provided over 3.1 million free meals and snacks to low-income Hoosier children. Despite the progress, many Indiana youngsters continue to face a daily struggle with hunger.
"One in four Hoosier children is at risk of hunger. That's nearly 360,000 children, and they live in every county of our state. During the school year these kids have access to nutritious meals, but when school is out they are particularly vulnerable to hunger. Many local organizations step up to focus on feeding children during the summer, and we are hopeful that number will continue to grow this year in areas of high need or where no access to summer meals is available," said Emily Weikert Bryant, the Executive Director of Feeding Indiana's Hungry, the State Association of Food Banks.
The Indiana Department of Education is seeking qualified organizations to sponsor the SFSP in the underserved areas of the state, including 11 Indiana counties where additional sites are needed. The SFSP feeds low-income children in the summer months when school is not in session.
The SFSP, created in 1968, is a federally-funded program operated through the U.S State Department of Agriculture and administered by the states. Organizations are reimbursed for providing nutritious meals to eligible children in low-income areas during the summer. Sponsors who follow USDA regulations are compensated through reimbursement and include schools, summer camps, community centers, and other organizations that focus on the well-being of children and families.
The Indiana Department of Education will host training workshops for sponsors in Indianapolis and around the state. To attend a workshop, please contact Marcia Yurczyk or Tina Skinner at the Indiana Department of Education at (317) 232-6610 or by email at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. The application deadline to become a SFSP sponsor is April 30, 2013.
For more information on the SFSP contact Daniel Altman, Executive Director of Communications, at (317) 232-6615 or go to http://www.doe.in.gov/student-services/nutrition/summer-food-service-program.

Finding a right side partner for Jake Gardiner via UFA
Cam Charron
June 28 2012 07:24AM
James Mirtle came out with his list of 35 unrestricted free agent defencemen at the Globe's website on Wednesday afternoon, and after a bit of perusing, I've found a couple of names worth going after. The list was shortened as the Calgary Flames traded for, and signed, Dennis Wideman to a pretty sizeable contract, 5 years, $26M.
Goes to show just how badly teams will overpay for top free agents, and while Wideman was the best of the "second-tier" defencemen in this class, he will be remarkably overpaid. Suffice to say, you can't get a good free agent without looking for a bit of value.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a little over $57M committed to next season. Factor in the Nikolai Kulemin contract, plus one or two depth free agents, there isn't a lot of room, maybe $3M or $4M, to sign a guy and hold onto some cap space, especially if the team is going to go after a goaltender at all this offseason.
The Leafs can't afford Dennis Wideman and his 11 goals and his 45 points.
Scouring James' list of UFAs, I put together three names of potential top four defencemen. There's no use in going after a guy who will be a 5, 6, 7 or 8 guy—the Leafs have those in spades—what they really need is somebody to play with Jake Gardiner on the second pairing, preferably somebody who plays on the right side.
One theory is Jason Garrison. Unfortunately with the Wideman deal, I have a feeling that his contract will be massive and closing in on $6M. I left him off this list.
Michal Rozsival:
Rozsival made $5M for the last four seasons, and I highly doubt that he's going to be after the huge payday on July 1. Though he'll be 34 next season, he played over 16 minutes of 5-on-5 per game with Phoenix this past season, and was closing in on 20 in all situations. He didn't see top-pairing competition, but had the fourth highest on the team, at .359. He also tended to start on the defensive side of the ice, but still put up a positive possession number to his teammates, with a Relative Corsi of 2.8.
His 2011 numbers look decent enough as well, and this is a guy who can push play forward playing second-level minutes, and plays the right side. I have a feeling he ought to be what Brian Burke is looking for. He played a lot of his minutes with Oliver Ekman-Larsson this season, but the WOWY split isn't huge: OEL has a .513 Corsi rate with Rozsival and .514 without.
Brett Clark:
The caveat with Clark is that he's getting up there in age. He turns 36 on December 23rd. The other issue is his -7.5 Relative Corsi, obtained after playing a lot of tough minutes with Victor Hedman, who is a much better player with Clark than without. He's the guy you want teaching the young defenceman like Gardiner and has experience playing the tough minutes and that veteran wisdom. He can still play you about 18 minutes a night, and I'd keep him at even strength.
How much will he cost? He made $1.5M in the last two seasons, so he's a guy who could come cheap and fit into that top four. I don't seem him as good of an option at Rozsival.
Adrian Aucoin:
Another guy from the Phoenix Coyotes that they may not be able to re-sign. Aucoin has been, throughout his career, a steady top four guy, but is now 38, so I can't see him sticking around for more than one or two years. He still played over 20 minutes a night last season, as he has for every year in his career.
His underlyings have generally been pretty strong and he doesn't exactly see easy minutes. I reckon there's still a bit left in his old tank, but his offensive game has detereoirated and he's pretty much a one-way guy at this point. But that should be the kind of player the Leafs need, a stay-at-home Dad for Jake Gardiner. He fits the bill decently enough and can be a stop-gap until Jesse Blacker or Stuart Percy are ready to make the NHL in a large capacity.

Those are the three that I've identified. Top-four, right-side guys who won't break the Leafs' bank. The pickings look slim because, well, they are. Hopefully the Leafs get a little more creative than this when finding a guy, but if they do it through free agency, these are our men.

Yes to Huskins. One of the most underrated defensemen in the NHL.
June 28 2012, 08:19AM
@David Johnson
I think Burke will be interested, says he's looking for depth, Huskins has played for Carlyle before seems like a fit.
June 28 2012, 09:39AM
@Cam Charron
That's not to say he COULDN'T. My Huskins post was just in jest, ask David why he wants him.
Kent Huskins didn't play 16 minutes a game last year.
Is there something I'm missing?
I think he is a solid dependable defenseman that can be had for a decent price. Not so much for big time minutes so probably isn't suitable as Gardiner's partner, but in a 3rd pairing I think he'd be a good signing.

Who Is PASS?
By Andy Warren
Maybe it's bad grammar, but who is PASS? Right now I think too often we define PASS as being our annual Summit, or as the Board
of Directors and PASS HQ. Those are part of the equation, but not all of it, and
I'd argue not even the most important part.
It's us. It's you. We all serve the organization in some way. Some of us have reached the point in our careers where we can give back by speaking or leading a chapter or working on a volunteer committee. Some of us are trying to juggle a career and professional development.

Whereas, entomological science is firmly based on the theory of evolution by natural selection, which is the robust, well-proven and congruent foundation of biological science, and
Not since the infamous Scopes "monkey" trial of the 1920s has the controversy over the teaching of evolution exposed deep divides between sections of the American public. The Kansas Board of Education's announcement that intelligent design would be taught alongside evolution ignited a nationwide debate over what constitutes science education and what are actually nonscientific approaches to education. At a time when many studies show that the U.S.

"Creationists had been spoiling for this fight since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against so-called 'creation science' in the 1987 Edwards v.
A lawsuit challenging the Understanding Evolution website on constitutional grounds was dismissed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on March 13, 2006. Understanding Evolution, a collaborative project of the University of California Museum of Paleontology and the National Center for Science Education, was originally intended as a resource for teachers; it subsequently expanded to appeal to everyone interested in learning about evolution.
In "On the Front Lines in the War Over Evolution," in the March 10, 2006, issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education, Richard Monastersky reports on recent efforts to rally the scientific community to support evolution education -- "to recruit new troops," as he puts it, "for the escalating war against creationism and its spinoff doctrine, intelligent design."

Pros: Outstanding soul-stirring midrange, open and airy presentation, tight and fast bass, easily driven
Cons: Light on bass, slight treble roll off, soundstaging problems with many instruments, might be uncomfortable
When a headphone manufacturer releases a flagship, one would expect uncompromising sound quality, exceptional design and extreme comfort. As Audio Technica's current open circumaural top of the range model, the AD2000 comes off as a mixed bag. But it does have a big redeeming feature that has earned it a number of fans, and for this owner, it has charmed him enough to keep it together with the HD800.
It is the midrange which strikes the listener the most, it is a lush, forward midrange that suits female vocals to a T. Whether alto or soprano, Diana Krall or Kiri Te Kanawa, the AD2000 presents female vocals in a very intimate, soul-stirring manner. Female vocalists are not relegated to the back of the stage, they are right in front of you, baring every single emotion with stunning clarity. When Jane Monheit sings the last few lines of Over The Rainbow, one cannot help but feel for her as she pleads to the heavens. This kind of midrange may not be for everyone, some might find it "peaky" or "shouty", but those who enjoy it would be hard-pressed to find a more emotional midrange.
As the midrange takes center stage, bass and treble fall behind somewhat. This is a bass-light headphone, it may be deep, fast and snappy but it does not have the punch and volume to satisfy with rap, hip hop and R&B. This is definitely not a basshead's headphone. Treble has some slight roll-off, and while it still renders cymbals with gusto, it sounds a little flat when compared against a K701. Detail retrieval is above average, not as good as a K701 or DT880 but it is enough for most genres.
The soundstaging is an odd area; on the one hand it has a very open, airy presentation that feels like an open-air concert with plenty of space around instruments, on the other hand instrument separation suffers when faced with many instruments. On complex passages like Holst's Jupiter, some instruments sound as if they are blending together in a slightly incoherent blob. This is not much of a problem with mainstream music and jazz, and the above-average soundstage width is quite pleasing, if one is not too particular about depth.
With a dark blue colour scheme, hex grilles, "wings" on top and dual headbands, the AD2000 looks quite futuristic. The mesh grilles provide no isolation whatsoever, and there is a lot of sound leakage. Particularly annoying is the hard clamping pressure exerted by the headbands; when combined with the fairly thin earpads, one might find his ears squashed uncomfortably. Fortunately, stretching the headband and/or stuffing the earpads with cotton or a rubber hose can alleviate the comfort problem.
The AD2000 pairs well with many amps, and even sounds decent when going ampless. A personal favourite is the Rudistor NX-03, which makes the AD2000 sound very musical. Many portable amps like the Govibe Petite and Qables iQube drive it pretty well too. But OTL tube amps should not be used due to the low 40 ohms impedence.
As a flagship, the AD2000 does not stand up to the others in technical terms. But its midrange is capable of charming many with its soul-stirring presentation of female vocals. And after hearing many other capable headphones and owning an HD800, the AD2000 is an absolute keeper to me.
Sources: Cambridge Audio 840C/Stello DA100
Amps: Stello HP100/Qables iQube
Genres listened: Pop, Jpop, classical, instrumentals, jazz, trance, techno
Compared against: HD800, K701, K240 Sextett, ED8, PS-1000

Physics: Science in a Waldorf School is hands-on. Here, in their 8th grade Physics Block, each student designed and built a steam-powered boat. The boats were carved of foam then wired for lights and a buzzer. A test tube partially filled with water was heated and the steam produced traveled through a copper wire under the boat to produce movement.The goal was to have the boat cross a table full of water, with two lights illuminated, and then buzz when the boat reached the shore.
The Formative Power of Sound: In the late 18th century, German physicist Ernst Chladni demonstrated the organizing power of sound and vibration in a visually striking manner. He showed that when sand (or in this case salt) is scattered on metal plates, and a violin bow is drawn across them, the resulting vibrations cause the particles to move to the places where the plate is almost motionless, producing a variety of beautiful, regular, intricate patterns. Here is our 6th grade performing the experiment.

Gareth Bale Fires Shot for New adidas Snapshot App
Adidas Snapshot is the first football tracking software for smartphones. Released on the iOS App Store, it records the speed, angle, and distance of a player's shot.
Gareth Bale was featured in the free application's web promo. The Tottenham star is shown booting a shot against a wall.
His rip clocked in at a blistering 78 mph.
Upon opening the software, the user has three options, which include viewing their achievements on the leaderboards and past shots. To record their latest shot, the user must touch "Go." The app will then ask for the setting's lighting (day, night, or indoor) and the player's kicking foot. A live shot of the camera's view will then appear.
The user will be asked to aim the camera in such a manner that the ball will fit into a targeted area. Once the user touches the screen, the phone will begin to record. Tapping the screen again, after the shot is had, stops the tape, which is then analyzed by the software. A replay will then roll, marking the ball's movement. Above the shot, a ticker will display the shot's speed with its angle and distance shown at the screen's upper right. Results can be shared on Facebook or YouTube. Each shot is stored in the app's library, allowing the user to view their shot on-demand via slow motion replay.
The app offers users about 30 challenges, one of which involves cracking Bale's record.
Adidas Snapshot supports 18 languages, as well as ball sizes, 3, 4, and 5.
The main screen's upper right links the user to adidas's boot selection, allowing them to purchase the company's products straight from the app.
Though it was released for iPhone and iPod Touch, the company is yet to release an Android version.
The sporting goods outfit already has several applications out, including its established miCoach app. miCoach provides users with fitness plans for multiple sports such as soccer and basketball.

Panasonic, Germany - IFR Partner
The Panasonic welding robot TM Series - A new unique generation of robots
Panasonic Robot and Welding Systems Europe presents the TM Welding Robot Series, this being the all new and unique generation of robots. The TM welding robots have been developed to combine the benefits of the current TA and TB Series. Therefore customers have the possibility to decide freely whether to use an externally or internally mounted torch cable to match requirements of their applications. Additionally the robot series benefit from a highly rigid arm structure and an improved and efficient servo motor, which provides an enhanced harmonious movement for the positioning of the welding torch.
With an all new high resolution encoder working in combination with the highly rigid arm the TM robots provide 16 times* improved path accuracy and a 22%* increase in speed of the main axis, dramatically reducing the cycle time in many areas. (* When compared to the TA Series)
With the "External Version" the externally mounted wire feeder cable has a softer curve to ensure a minimal friction at the wire feeder. With regard to torsion this solution offers the ideal conditions.
The "Internal Version", with central hollow shaft routing and installation of the cable assembly parallel to the arm of the robot, minimizes the effects of mass inertia and possible interference from the movements of the cable assembly. Additionally the cable assembly including hoses and cables will be perfectly protected, ensuring ideal conditions in the working area during the welding inside jigs or fixtures with difficult access. It therefore is not necessary to check constantly the position of the cable assembly during the programming process.
The completely reworked torch safety holder with integrated safety shutdown ensures a constant centre of the tool even under extreme cable assembly movements. The possibility to locate the wire feeding conduit through the centre of the robot base and stand, optimizes the wire feeding route within the welding cell. As a result of this the bend of the wire feeding conduit during fast robot movements is reduced significantly. By removing the unnecessary movements of the wire conduit cable Panasonic achieve an even more stable wire feeding status with further improved welding quality.
Improvements in the production quality control can be achieved by utilising the quick check torch setting. This is a pre-set integrated testing position at the TM robot base. By requesting the testing position at the robot control panel the robot moves the torch into the fixed datum test position. The operator can visually control the status and correct it if necessary.
With the welding robots of the TM Series Panasonic succeeded to adapt the increased demands of customers by increasing productivity and simultaneously reducing production costs with improved welding quality.

The Reebok Premier 4K Goalie Leg Pad offers very nice lightweight protection and a professional look. The 4k leg pad is almost identical when compared to last years model the Revoke 3000 leg pad.
Reebok's 4K goal pads are made from a durable high quality synthetic leather that is used throughout the high wear areas. The inner side rolls are wrapped in high quality synthetic leather, able to handle constant abuse. The rest of the pad is covered with a lightweight woven nylon material thats durable and has great breathability.
The Reebok 4k leg pad has a flat faced design and stiff construction that will soften and become more flexible over time. Two breaks have been constructed into the outer roll giving the pad more flex above and below the knee. The flat faced design gives the goalie more control over rebounds and the stiff construction keeps the pads shape over time providing a large blocking surface. The slightly angled outside roll helps with deflecting the puck into the corners away from the goal. Securing the leg pad is 4 nylon straps around the thigh and calf with an additional leather boot strap. Toe bridge and laces secure the front of the skates keeping the pad aligned and in position.
The 4k goalie leg pad is an excellent choice for youth and junior goalies wanting to be just like the pros.

I have started to get bored with the grindy nature (having to watch for events to farm Infinity Stones), but to be fair my guild also had a schism and had to rebuild, so raiding is on hold and that might be a big factor into why I'm bored currently. I just think I'm getting tired of the WoW-style "force you to grind things out so you keep playing" style of game; it's getting to be too much of a time investment for me.

I'm finding it a bit boring, i enjoyed doing things such as instant adventuring, conquest, warfronts at 50 and i've tried them at 60 and they all feel different somehow.
I tried conquest and i don't know what's changed with that map but it just feels like I'm constantly taking extractors rather than pvping I can remember huge battles between nightfall and oath at 50, now everyone splits up into 2-5 smaller groups, nightfall used to do the train of death while oath captured extractors/ took bosses now they all feel the same and there is very few mass battles>.<
Also the pvp gear is just so weak compared to the pve gear, it's much more effective to just use pve gear in warfronts. What's the point of grinding all those warfronts/ conquest battles when the gear i get is practically useless? I have green leveling gear that gives more stats than the blue pvp gear >.<
Then there is pve, i got 60 looked at the gear vendors and just imagined how much grinding i would need to do in order to get to the same level as other players and it really puts me off wanting to do anything.
Since hitting 60 I've pretty much devoted the majority of my time leveling professions and furnishing my dimension

I've been playing a lot lately. Level 53 and I haven't been bored with leveling yet. Always something different to do. Rifts, Carnage, Dungeons, IAs, etc.

Live From New York, It's Jonathan Prager
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2009
Highly acclaimed return engagement of New York Times-featured comedian Jonathan Prager. Known for blazing wit, poignant stories and genial charisma, this NYC stand-up's comic insight into families, relationships, politics and life's incongruities is both touching and hilarious.

US comic who did not change his act for the UK therefore not only unfunny but also not easily understood. References to therapists, Ritalin and other very USA centric lifestyles don't work here. Really I consider this an insult to the audience or maybe arrogance. Which ever way you look at this act it is more a waste of your time than his. Up to an hour of your life you won't get back yet Jonathan seems to thrive on it.

Not only is Miami-based DJ Craze a master of turntablism (he's the only solo DJ to win 3 consecutive DMC Championships), but he has the producer and labelhead roles down as well. He's teamed up with Kill The Noise in the past couple years to launch the rapidly growing label, Slow Roast Records, where artists such as Codes, Klever, Señor Stereo, and, of course, the labelheads have released top notch EPs. Most recently, Craze released his latest EP, Dance Alone, on August 30th, and he put together a rockin' promo mix and music video to go along with it. Grab the mix as well as Codes' remix and head over to Beatport to pick up the entire EP.
