The Emery County commission heard from Gerry Stotler of the Volunteers of America. She said they are expanding their volunteer program to include volunteers of all ages. Currently the program involves volunteers age 55 and above. They have several people who have expressed an interest in being involved in a volunteer program and would like to know what projects there are available they can help with.
Stotler said they would like to identify community improvement projects that need to be done in the community. They also have people from out of the area who have older relatives who are alone in the county and would like to find volunteers to help them with their yards and projects. Stotler envisions their center as being a connecting facility where volunteers and projects can come together and be organized for the good of the community. Anyone who has needs can contact the volunteer center and see who is available to come and help. Stotler said they also want to hold CERT classes to get everyone prepared for emergency situations. She has talked to Principal Larry Davis at Emery High and they will look for opportunities for youth and adults to serve together on community projects. "We are looking for ideas to be useful," said Stotler.
Stotler recently attended the volunteer convention in Salt Lake, while there Home Depot received an award for the volunteer projects their employees participate in and the Richfield Home Depot would like to come to Emery County and be involved with a project here.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said the idea for a volunteer center is very commendable and the commission will help in anyway they can. Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth said it is a great idea and definitely needed. The advisory committee for the RSVP meets the second Monday of each month at 10 a.m. for interested parties.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said the work is commendable and he is in support of the volunteer center.
The commission approved the contract for Pictometery International Corporation for pictometry images. This imagery utilizes information from pictures taken from a number of different directions. The pictures can be used in the recorders and assessors offices. They can view a structure from all angles and measure heights of buildings and other information gathering can be done with the images and site visits can be reduced or eliminated. The images are also useful for first responders who can pull up the images of an area and see what's on the ground. If they were responding to a fire, then the image could tell where propane tanks or other possible dangerous items are located. The images will be along the SR-10 corridor and along the San Rafael river. They don't go into the Manti-LaSal higher elevations. The images include the power plants. The cost for two years will be $77,223. The pictometry is being paid for with a homeland security grant. After the third year, the county can pay the maintenance fee which is optional and will include any upgrades to the software.
The county approved their agreement with the forest service for road maintenance and law enforcement on forest service land. The county approved a contract with the aging association for providing aging services to the county. The county has a match for this program. The commission approved fee waivers for the pavilion at Huntington City Park and the rodeo arena lighting project.
The state is giving Emery County a grant for the recorders office to continue setting more section corners. Work will be done in Lawrence, Emery and Green River. The county will advertise for bids on the project. The commission approved the contract between Emery County and the Miss Utah organization for Miss Emery to participate at the Miss Utah pageant. The commission approved the emergency management performance grant.
An information kiosk sign will be placed at Temple Mountain at the BLM campground. The signs have been made available with grants from the State Historical Preservation Society. There are signs in each town, one at the MK tunnels and the new one will be at Temple Mountain. The road department helps with the base of each sign for the county match. Commissioner Horrocks said, "These signs are extremely beneficial to locals and to those traveling through. They direct people where to go and sometimes where not to go."
The commission approved the tax exemption list which includes churches and museums. The bid process for an architect for the food bank will begin with advertising in the newspaper. The prospective bidders will be interviewed by the commission and an architect chosen from applicants.
The county returned the old gravel pit easement to the Bill Z. Jones family trust. The pit has been in use since 1963 when the county purchased the rights to the gravel pit. The county mined it and has obtained all the gravel from there.
Kofford encouraged Emery County residents to return their census forms if they haven't done so. The stats show 50 percent of Emery County has returned their census forms. If you haven't returned your form then census takers will begin visiting homes. Census results help aid in federal appropriations and population numbers will determine whether Utah is eligible for another congressional seat.
Pitchforth reported the recreation district has completed their calendar of events and they are available at the city hall. "We appreciate their efforts and the time that went into the project," said Pitchforth.
The care center renovation is coming along and by the end of the month the kitchen will be ready. Residents will be moving into the west wing soon. The east wing has proved to be challenging. Pitchforth said the entire project is turning out beautifully.
Horrocks said the museum board met and they would like to hold the Folk Art Festival again at the museum during the fair. He met with the CRIK board on tourism. Horrocks met with the Utah Department of Transportation and they updated the road projects in the area. The new rest area at Tie Fork in Spanish Fork Canyon where Skyview used to be is under construction. There is construction on SR-10 north of Emery which should be complete by June. The fire district ordered their eight new trucks and they hope to have them by the end of the year. The Cleveland fire station will be dedicated on May 1 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m. and an open house and Spring Expo all that day. "We would like to invite the public to attend," said Horrocks.
Kofford said he attended the BLM RAC in St. George. He met with Steve Ogden on the Horse Canyon rest area. A BLM survey will need to take place there. Seventeen acres have been set aside there for the construction of the rest area. The rest area will include toilets and tables. At some point in time, it was discussed that a museum might be located there similar to the Fremont Indian museum along I-70. This museum would spotlight Range Creek. Range Creek is now operated by the University of Utah. Three vendors currently take people on tours of Range Creek. You need a permit to enter Range Creek. UDOT has a proposed $700,000 set aside for the toilets and parking area. They have asked the county to participate in a $12,000 per year fee for the continued maintenance of the rest area. Kofford said the project ties into where the Lila Canyon road takes off. There will be four lanes plus acceleration lanes where the Lila Canyon road takes off. The bid for the Lila Canyon road went to Nielson Construction. It is a $7 million project because of the requirement for any work on SR-6 to be four lanes it increased the cost of the road.
The consent agenda for the commission contained the following items that were approved: Mark H. Williams and Ray Jeffs were reappointed to the travel bureau. The advertising for a board member for the travel bureau from Green River was ratified.
The fee waiver for the use of the Aquatics Park for Grad Night 2010 was ratified. A water connection was approved for Nielson Construction on the landfill water line. A business license was approved for Chris Grundvig for a handyman business. A business license was approved for Randall Stilson for Sudseconds.

Too Short
"I love this boot, but it just isn't for me. If I wear with jeans, they scrunch over top and looks so weird. I've seen that look work for tall girls, so good for them. If I wear with leggings, it looks awkward. If I wear with a dress or skirt, I look stubby. I think I need at least a 7" shaft for a bootie. This is a 5" shaft, maybe 5.5"."

Tim Cook's US Manufacturing Reality Distortion Field Interesting article discussing whether Apple can't (or won't) do more manufacturing in the US. Normally, people cite China's subsidized labor wages and favorable tax policies are cited as the major reasons, but the author make some convincing counter-examples:
"I'll leave the subject with one last counter-argument to this tale of how woefully inadequate US manufacturing is to the task. Take a look at Germany. By all accounts it should be far less competitive than the US in manufacturing. Taxes are worse. Regulations are worse. Wages are higher. Yet, Germany's manufacturing economy thrives." - Alex

Imperial botany
Voyages like Hooker's were partly concerned with mapping vital natural resources and discovering new ones. As a traveller, and later as Director of Kew, Hooker also relied on a wider network of plant collectors to provide him with more specimens from Britain's many colonies.
Australasia and the importance of plant distribution to science and empire
The geographical distribution of plants was a central concern for Hooker. He was puzzled, for example, by the species he had seen growing on widely-scattered islands. Like other naturalists he wondered how they had got there. One option was simply to assume that God had created them several times in their existing locations, but Hooker rejected this theory of multiple 'centres of creation' and sought a more law-like explanation. He assumed that each species had been created (by an unknown means) at a single time and place from where it had spread. However, this did not explain how species travelled over huge expanses of ocean.
Hooker's solution drew on the work of his friend and colleague, Edward Forbes, Britain's most vociferous proponent of single centres of creation. Forbes argued that the plants had migrated at a time when the isolated islands had been connected, but sea levels had since risen – as proposed by Lyell's geological theories – leaving disconnected lands with common floras. Hooker explained the distributional puzzles of the southern ocean by hypothesising that a much larger Antarctic continent had once linked many of the now-isolated lands.
Darwin disagreed with Hooker and Forbes, baulking at the lack of evidence for the missing land, and proposed instead that anomalous distributions were better explained by seeds having migrated with the aid of bird and animals, or wind and ocean currents. He and Hooker argued over their competing theories for many years.
Studying plant distribution promised to shed light on the origins of species, but also had more practical implications. The wealth of Britain's empire was largely based on plants: from cotton and timber, spices, dyes and indigo, to the gutta-percha (natural latex) so essential to Britain's dominance of cable telegraphy.
Voyages like Hooker's were partly concerned with mapping these vital natural resources and discovering new ones. But it was also hoped that such mapping would eventually reveal the laws that explained why particular plants grew where they did. Such laws would aid the search for new plants, and make transplanting crops between colonies much easier.
However, plant distribution studies required a global survey of vegetation and even after his voyage, Hooker needed many more specimens before he could write his floras. Unfortunately, the government's funding of Kew during the middle decades of the century did not include provision for professional collectors, and neither William nor Joseph Hooker could afford to pay salaries out of their own pockets. Instead they had to rely on a diverse group of unpaid enthusiasts who eventually supplied the tens of thousands of specimens that allowed Joseph to complete his books while building his herbarium and reputation.
These colonial collectors, who were mostly men, included government officials, missionaries, gentlemen farmers, naval and army officers, private soldiers and shepherds. The collectors' motivations were as diverse as their social backgrounds: some were trying to earn a living by selling specimens, but others saw themselves as men of science and aspired to join Britain's scientific societies and publish in their journals. A few wanted to advance themselves socially by corresponding with other gentlemen about their common pursuits, and in many cases loneliness and isolation were powerful motivations for letter-writing. Additionally, an enthusiasm for the landscape and flora of their new countries occasionally inspired colonial botanists to tell the wider world about 'their' plants.
Relying on these largely unpaid correspondents to provide specimens forced Hooker to become an adept negotiator, whose botanical skills had to include discerning and satisfying the collectors' diversity of expectations and desires. There were also conflicts with collectors when Hooker was unable or unwilling to give them what they wanted, as well as competition over collections with his rivals in other institutions and countries.

India and the Himalaya
The imperial context and importance of Hooker's work is also evident in his trip to the central and eastern Himalaya (1847 - 49). Hooker obtained a government grant for the trip and the Admiralty gave him free passage on the ships taking Lord Dalhousie, the newly-appointed Governor General, to India.
After visiting Calcutta, Hooker went to Darjeeling where he met Brian Houghton Hodgson, an expert on Nepalese culture, Buddhism and collector of Sanskrit manuscripts who was also a passionate naturalist. The two became close friends and Hodgson helped Hooker prepare for his trip into the Himalaya. However, by the time Hooker was ready to set off for Sikkim in 1848, Hodgson was too ill to accompany him and Dr. Archibald Campbell, the British government agent, went instead.
Joseph Hooker 's 1848 Nepal Expedition - Joseph Hooker for Kew from Peter Donaldson on Vimeo.
This video by documentary maker Peter Donaldson briefly explains how Hooker spent his days while on expedition in the Himalayas, collecting a drawing in the rugged mountains of Nepal.
Sikkim - a small and impoverished state - was bordered by Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan, as well as British India. Its raja was understandably anxious not to annoy any of his powerful neighbours, so he and his chief minister, the diwan, were particularly suspicious of travellers like Hooker who surveyed and made maps during their travels. (Their suspicions proved well founded, as Hooker's maps later proved to have both economic and military importance to the British.)
When Hooker first sought permission to enter Sikkim the diwan made considerable efforts to prevent him, and even after pressure from the British administration forced the diwan to submit he obstructed their progress in various ways. He particularly urged them not to cross the northern border with Tibet during their explorations, but Hooker and Campbell knowingly ignored his order and the border violation was used by the diwan as a pretext to arrest and imprison them in November 1849. The British government secured their release within weeks by threatening to invade Sikkim. The elderly raja was punished with the annexation of some of his land and the withdrawal of his British pension, a response that even some of the British thought excessive.
... I doubt whether the world contains any scene with more sublime associations than this calm sheet of water 17,000 feet above the sea, with the shadow of mountains 22,000 to 24,000 feet high sleeping on its bosom.
Following his release, Hooker spent 1850 travelling with Thomas Thomson in Eastern Bengal and the two returned to England in 1851. Together they wrote the first volume of a projected Flora Indica (1855), which was never completed because of a lack of support from the East India Company (although Hooker eventually produced the Flora of British India, 1872 - 1897). However, the introductory essay on the geographical relations of India's flora was to be one of Hooker's most important statements on biogeographical issues.
Altogether Hooker collected about 7,000 species in India and Nepal and, on his return to England, managed to secure another government grant while he classified and named them. The first publication was the Rhododendrons of the Sikkim-Himalaya (1849 - 51), edited by his father and illustrated by Walter Hood Fitch, whose fine drawings enriched many of both Hookers' publications.
Hooker and Campbell's travels added 25 new rhododendron species to the 50 already known, and the spectacular new species they introduced into Britain helped create a rhododendron craze among British gardeners. Hooker's journey also produced his Himalayan Journals (1854), which were dedicated to Darwin.

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) is a key figure of the Romantic generation, a pioneer of landscape painting and one of Britain's greatest artists. He was born at a time of immense change, experiencing the upheavals of the Industrial Revolution and the wars between Britain and France. His art often shocked his contemporaries but his vibrant colour, intense light and bravura application of paint are much admired today.
Turner was highly conscious of his reputation. He retained or re-acquired many of his paintings, intending to bequeath them to the British nation. The gift was originally limited to finished works exhibited in the artist's lifetime but the final settlement of his will included the contents of his home and studio. The Turner Bequest is now housed in a purpose-built wing of Tate Britain in London. Turner from the Tate also includes some of the artist's works in Australian collections.

CHARLES HAYWARD: One Big Atom
Charles� first new solo CD for nine years, and he hasn�t been resting on his laurels; here are new ideas and a consolidation of the story to date, all plaited up into a fully articulated musical manifesto, characterised by virtuosity, soul, complexity, drive and attention to fine detail�not only that, but it�s also very nicely recorded. In stretched song form, this sounds for all the world like a well-drilled ensemble, with Charles singing, playing, and augmenting his sometimes pile-driving, sometimes loom-like kit with electronics, melodica, ziz zag and swirl (no I don�t know what the last 2 are either). As drummers go, Charles has to be one of the best we�ve got, carving his own way without giving any quarter. And he can write a neat refrain, even if riding a wave of tonal and rhythmic complexity.

Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT MR Crankbaits
The Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT MR maintains many of the properties that made the SKT Mini versions such popular and effective baits - but there is more to the SKT MR than just its bigger size. For one, the SKT MR is faster than the SKT Mini MR and precision engineered not to roll or turn like other medium diving crankbaits. This allows the angler to cover a lot more water, making it a great option as a search bait. Designed for cold-water and muddy conditions, the larger profile is perfect for enticing those cold- water crankbait fish to bite. With its tight wobble and hypnotizing vibration, the MR offers fish a defined target even in water with low visibility. The Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT MR will compliment any anglers tacklebox, especially if they already enjoy the original SKT Mini versions.

Comments: These cranks are the deal! Nice action and very durable. Deflect these off cover and watch the rod load up. I bought 4 of these to try and still have the first one I tied on. have caught 12-15 on them and the paint looks like it did in the package. Bill is just barely starting to show some wear and man I have been throwing this at some wood.

Movie Summary
Bread and Milk (Kruh in mleko)
Description: Jan Cvitkovic makes his directorial debut with this drama about fate, substance abuse, and human frailty. As a result of a strike by medical employees, Ivan is released one day early from his alcohol detox program, returning home to his loving, cheerful wife, Sonja, who tries to guide him back to normal life. The following morning, Sonja leaves for work as a housekeeper to a wealthy family, asking her husband to go and fetch some milk and bread at the local store. On the way, he runs into Armando, his junior high school chum who he has not seen in years. While chatting in a local pub, Armando confesses to Ivan that he had a fling with Sonja just before Ivan married her. Rattled by the admission, Ivan inadvertently slugs down a glass of brandy, effectively falling off the wagon. This relapse strains the already tense relationship between Ivan and his teenaged son, Robi. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

There is thermal protection in the treatment to protect your hair from heat damage, but it's still very important to use caution. Always keep the flat iron moving, proceed slowly and avoid ironing over the same section too many times.
- It's very important to keep your hair completely dry and straight for 48 hours.
- Any kinks or curls (from humidity, rain or sweat) should be flat ironed out. Do not use pins or clips in your hair during this time.
- After 48 hours, wash your hair with the Liquid Keratin De-Frizz Shampoo.
- Condition with Liquid Keratin De-Frizz Conditioner. Allow the conditioner to sit for 1-2 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.
- NOTE: It's very important to use keratin-conscious aftercare products. They are specially formulated to work with the treatment – enhancing the effects and extending the life. Non-keratin aftercare products (shampoos, conditioners or styling) may cause your keratin treatment to fade more quickly.
- Towel dry your hair and apply the Liquid Keratin Leave-In Conditioner. This product coats your hair and fills in the hair follicles to condition and moisturize.
- About the brand
Liquid Keratin 30 Day Straight Smooth Strong & Long Treatment Starter Kit is
a long-lasting, patented, at-home keratin treatment kit that makes frizzy,
coarse or curly hair straight, shiny and extremely manageable.
The process is transformative. Reviewers rave that their hair is completely changed – absolutely straight and frizz-free.
The key ingredient in this treatment is keratin, a protein found naturally in your hair. This treatment doesn't simply cover-up frizz or weigh down curls, it actually repairs hair – infusing keratin into imperfections in the shaft, which causes hair to calm, lay straight, shine and feel silky rather than rough.
Results can last for up to 6 weeks.

* 1.7 oz. Liquid Keratin De-Frizz Shampoo

Liquid Keratin Works Fine - Just Not As GoodOK folks, the product does work just not nearly as well as the ad promises. Basically, it cuts down frizz and makes hair less curly but long ways from straight. I still think it is a good product for many folks out there, especially those with wavy to moderately curly hair, assuming your goal is to have more manageable hair. I also like the way my hair feels. It seems gentler than the other products on the market. But then, for three times the price, you would expect that.Oct 18, 2009Beanie / California

Fab HairLiquid Keratin is safer than salon products. It does not smell bad and very easy to use. If you don't want harsh chemicals this is the product for you. Yes it's a pill to have the product on for for two days. But the reward is Fab hair. I won't use any thing else on my hair.Oct 18, 2009Alicia

Best For Your MoneyConsidering I was paying this much for relaxers that damage my hair, I say this product is a great use of my hard earned money. It made my hair much more easier to straighten and it's straighter. I'm currently transitioning to my natural hair, and I can see these products as part of this process. You just have to follow the process EXACTLY or you WILL screw it up. Pros: 1. Easier and healthier than a relaxer. 2. Made my hair easier to straighten than other products 3. Shampoo is sulfate free. And yet you still know where you applied it. Cons: 1. Process will be confusing for some 2. Smells a little funky PS you don't have to keep re-buying this kit. Only the parts you run out of, and you only need to do the treatment as needed. DO NOT use products with sulfates in them, it will frizz your hair out. You shouldn't be using them anyways.Oct 17, 2009Crystal / OKC, OK

Silky SmoothA few months ago I did a Marcia Taxiera(sp?) Brazilian straightening at a salon for $400. That lasted a few months. And I loved the results. I was looking for something similar but cheaper that I could do at home. The Liquid Keratin is a lighter weight product than the salon treatment. And I'm assuming it won't last as long. BUT the upside is, for $69 I have enough product to use again in a month. I love the silky smooth feeling. And I feel like I can probably use the product as needed for just spot treatments that aren't possible at home with the salon treatment. (duh) I would say all in all it was what I expected. And I'm pleased with the results. But I've done all the treatments: regular chemical relaxer, Japanese straightening, salon Keratin, and I know what's possible with my hair. I'm a realistic girl and I know this is the best I'm going to get for the money right now. My hair feels amazing... great condition, shiny and silky smooth. BUT be realistic, this is not a straightener. My hair is still curly when I wash it. However after using the flat iron my poodle head is gone and doesn't frizz as badly in the humidity. Yeah!Sep 26, 2009Lynn

Not Bad . . .but not great. I have grey hair that has been relaxed (albeit with a ton of grow out right now!), and this product yellowed the grey that had been relaxed. It was fine on the un-relaxed hair. As my calling card is my great silver hair, I won't be using it again. I think it did make my hair (coarse and frizzy) easier to manage, though not by much, but my hair was definitely softer.Sep 15, 2009Lesley

Smells Bad, Not EffectiveI followed the instructions exactly and I did not see a marked difference in my hair, other than a lingering bad smell. You have to wait 48 hours after the initial application to wash your hair, so I looked like I had greasy hair for 2 days...ugh. This was definitely not worth the trouble or the money.Sep 9, 2009Charlene / Pensacole, FL USA

I've Been Waiting For A Product This Good My Entire Life!!Liquid Keratin is worth every penny I paid. Not only did it do everything it promised, the results went beyond what I was hoping for. My hair is straight without any waves and is shiny and easier to manage. No frizz at all. I was just resigned to dealing with my thick and wavy hair. Now with the results of Liquid Keratin, my self confidence has increased by defying my DNA. I will continue to use this product and will recommend it to anyone who notices the difference in my hair. Thanks a million!! Better late than never!!Aug 12, 2009Cayce M / Easley, SC

i think we're getting a little crazy by calling oda a god. miura on the other hand certainly comes close to that title.
He is god.
He is one of my favorites
He is alright
He isnt that great.
He sucks.
I like the new manga Fairy tail. it's drawn similar to one piece.
If you want to know more about Kishimoto, read the earlier naruto manga chapters. At the end or at start, there is his auto biography.
I think he is alright.
oda's not god but he is great.
Made by Gray-Foxx and iThepirate
Come help us grow! http://mangaseed.com/index.php
Also, about Kishimoto, he's nowhere near god. He can't draw more than ten characters without making two of them look alike.
All glory to Haruhi! The one and true God!
all creators of a series has control over the anime's. They must follow the story and even thou dont create the fillers have to OK it. The difference between One Piece anime and Naruto Shinpuuden is just waaaaay to big. Oda is always close to the manga but he never gave us 100 fillers of crap, he creates 1 filler arc (not too long) then starts with the still not finish arc and in between he makes a few specials. I dont know why Kishi dont takes notes from him.
i think he's a genius.. he is one of the greatest manga artists.. because naruto..
and DAAAAMN.. he's imaginaton is so great.. for him able to name all the jutsu's..
He's gay.
Rasengan: Spinning Sphere
Byakugan: White eye
Sharingan: Evil eye
Kage Mane: Shadow hand
Doesn't sound sexy now, does it chimps? I swear, if I would've ever heard Neji shouting :"White eye" or Naruto screaming :" SPINING SPHERE!" I would've jumped off a 5th floor.

Oh Yes...! There Will Be Blood
I voted he's one of my favorites, he's way better than alright, one of the best imo. btw mgsplayer, just curious, what other manga have u read, gimme some suggestions.
What? now that the manga is gonna kick ass?think about it:
Pain is gonna go after Naruto, who is fighting Madara, who is waiting for Sasuke vs Itachi fight to end(seemingly), that is being protected by the Kisame vs Suigetsu fight.
the storyline has also just reached the revelation point:
the true purpose is gonna be revealed and there will be 1-3 arcs tops, bigger than any before till the final arc (or several smaller), which i gonna be awesome.
Kihi is one of my favorites but I prefer Oda's One Piece 1000 times to Naruto (even if I like Naruto's story)
Anyway I rank One Piece in the same category as NGE (legendary) and Naruto in the second degree below (Excellent) with Desert Punk in the middle (holly mf what the hell....) but don't ask me why I like DP so much......I just kinda fell in love by it.

Suzie and Bob
As a former wedding coordinator, when I'm asked about the greatest wedding I've ever witnessed, I talk about Suzie and Bob.
Suzie and Bob's wedding day just happened to coincide with one of the worst floods in Orange, California's history. Only 30 of their 130 guests could even get to the church, and closed roads meant the caterer, photographer, and DJ were stranded as well. Nevertheless, the bride and groom decided to go on with the ceremony.
Suzie's limo arrived two hours after it was expected—a miracle in itself, considering where she began her journey! As I helped Suzie exit the car, a bicyclist rode by and sprayed mud all over her wedding dress. I started to lead her to the bathroom so she could freshen up, but Suzie just took my hands and smiled. "I've waited three years to marry this man," she said. "I'm not waiting a minute longer."
Bold as brass, Suzie walked up to the double doors and yelled, "Dad, come and get me." The guests all relaxed when they heard her voice and the bridesmaids, groomsmen, minister and groom quickly took their positions. Escorted by her father, Suzie proceeded silently towards the altar, muddy dress and all. When she arrived at the first pew with guests, the bride beamed and sincerely thanked her guests for coming.
The most heartwarming moment came when Suzie got the first glimpse of her soon-to-be-husband. She turned to her guests and proclaimed, "I am the luckiest woman in the whole wide world!"
Suzie just got it. She knew that a wedding isn't about the right dress or photographer; it's about friends and family celebrating the joining of two people who were meant to be together. Bring this bit of wisdom to your wedding day, and you will truly have an unforgettable event.
P.S. Now, many years later, Suzie and Bob have three kids. When they talk about their wedding, they describe it as the most beautiful day of their lives.

Comments: I never use this bait in freshwater and it still works wonders! I use it for calico bass, sand bass, and my personal favorite barracuda! I now use these BBZ swimbaits for barracuda instead of using soft plastic swimbaits since it's a hardbody swimbait it won't tear up like the plastics, and the treble hooks do a good job of stickin' the 'cuda. In other words you may think it's a bit pricey but this bait is an example of you getting what you pay for. Great bait!

Comments: you think a hudd looks real in the water... you better try this bad boy. great bait I just tend not to throw it as much as I would a soft body like huddleston because of the trebles on the bottom its very hard to slow roll it without snagging.
Comments: BUY IT! THIS IS THE ONE! I love this bait! One of my favorites next to the 6" model. I have landed some big hard fighting bass with this swimbait fishing it fast and slow! You can't go wrong if you buy this bait and STICK TO IT! DONT GIVE UP and LEARN how and where and why to fish this lure and you will be successful! If I don't catch a fish with it every time, I at least get followers! This bait is MONEY for real! Since they lowered the price $5.. Spro is practically trying to GIVE you a trophy fish!

November is prematurity awareness month, and the March of Dimes is trying to bring the issue to the minds of Utahns. During the past decade the number of premature babies born in Utah has risen by 3 percent. That rate is 1.6 percent above the national average. The March of Dimes kicked off a campaign three years ago to raise awareness of this problem, and doctors have undertaken studies to try and determine why the Utah average is higher than the national average.
Nancy Brown, daughter of Garth and Lori Labrum of Orangeville, gave birth to her son Tyler on Sept. 21. He was three months early. Nancy and her husband Dallas reside in West Valley City and had been expecting a Christmas baby. Their doctor has no idea why Tyler came early. Tyler was just 13 inches long and weighed only one pound 11 ounces. He was delivered by C-section after only 25 weeks in the womb.
Following the delivery, Tyler was airlifted from Alta View Hospital to LDS Hospital. The doctors were optimistic about his survival and gave him an 80 percent chance because he was proving to be such a fighter. During his first day of life, he received the first of many expected blood transfusions.
When Tyler was three days old, he underwent heart surgery to repair a heart murmur. Then came the transfer to Primary Children's Hospital. He was diagnosed with brain bleeds and a second surgery, which was brain surgery came on his one month birthday, Oct. 21. Brain bleeds are a common occurrence for preemies, and create pressure on the brain which must be relieved.
While Tyler struggles for life in an incubator and a ventilator helps him breathe, Nancy and Dallas, along with the grandparents, keep up the vigil. Nancy and Dallas were given the opportunity to hold their new son for the first time when he was three weeks old. For the grandparents, that opportunity came the first part of November.
Tyler is expected to be strong enough and well enough to be sent home from the hospital around Christmas time. With his first months hospital bill exceeding $160,000, the expense for Tyler's survival is mounting quickly. Nancy and Dallas expect the costs to exceed $1 million. Tyler's story was recently featured in the Salt Lake Tribune. On Nov. 12, he weighed three pounds 11 ounces, and has grown to 15 and one half inches long.
As the research goes on, doctors are hoping to be able to predict who will and who will not be in danger of giving birth prematurely. Armed with this knowledge, they hope to be able to give more mothers and their babies a better chance to reach full term in pregnancy.

I am at a loss as to how to handle conflicts between two one year olds. One is my son and the other is my dayhome child and since welcoming her into my home, she has been hitting my son and pushing him over, pinching him, taking his toys, the like. My son usually just takes the beating and cries, pleading with me to intervene and I usually simply separate them and cuddle him to soothe him, labeling his feelings etc. However I am unsure how to address my daycare child's behavioral issues and her mother is also at a loss as to how to handle it as well. Any ideas?

I would encourage her to be gentle. Teach "sad" "hurt" and "ow". But at this age sometimes negative attention is still attention. If you must keep this child in your home try to distract and diffuse the situation before it gets too far. I, personally, wouldn't introduce a child into my home that has such a negative impact ... if it weren't my own, of course. I realize it may be a source of income, but at what expense? Don't let your child take a beating, remove him from the situation in whatever way you can.

Here are some more responses form the Facebook page:
Comment 1:
This is a hard one. I think you are doing the right thing though. continuing to move the child away then focus your attention on the child who is hurt. Repitition and role modelling appropriate behaviour are the way to go considering how young they are! : )
Comment 2:
at this age, redirecting and modeling the behavior you want to see are keys, I agree with the poster above me. Some kids are more physical than others when they get upset, it always helped me to remind myself to not take it personally and work on redirecting the behavior rather than getting upset myself. (Which, I know, is challenging when dealing with toddlers!) Best of luck to everyone with little ones
Comment 3:
I taught in the one year old room in a daycare for many years and this was a constant issue. I found that 1. keeping the focus on the victim was most helpful. Stop the situation and immediatly comfort the child that was hit. 2. Have the hitter help comfort the hurt child and during that (hopefully) calm moment, model the clear, simple words for what the hitter wants (ie. wow, I know you want a turn with the toy but Jonny is playing with it first, or something to that effect). and then try using some simple dialogue with them. All this down on their level. But sometimes you need the children to get a break from each other. One year olds do not play together like older children and we shouldn't expect them to play like older kids. Developmentaly they are all about the "me" and thankfully this will pass and they will also begin to get the language for what they want/need. Your best bet is to redirect and stay as calm as possible and just know that they will grow beyond the behavior as they get language skills and gain maturity. My almost 3 year old twins still love the "game" of taking each other's toy and running like heck in the opposite direction lol but most of the time they are starting to play together or near each other without too much issue. Hang in there.
Comment 4:
read "Playful Parenting". It helps to let your child roughhouse at home with you and hopefully they will be less aggressive with others.
Comment 5:
My son was very aggressive at a young age and continues to be a very angry boy at 3.5 years old. I tried everything throughout the years (even stuff I didn't really agree with because I was so frustrated). I can't offer too much advice, except that the caregivers are handling it well. Don't expect it to disappear quickly
Comment 6:
I agree with the suggestions for handling this as it is happening. I am also intuiting an emotional construct that might be helped by energetic work if the parents are open to it. The first thing that comes to mind is flower remedies and second homeopathy for both children. They are both involved in the dynamic, as are the parents, and all would benefit from vibrational remedies.
Comment 7:
My understanding is that sometimes children do this, as they are yet unable to verbally communicate. You may try a book called 'Hands are not for hitting'. Additionally, you can ask him (or her) if he's mad, or frustrated. Words to identify their feelings. I believe it is a way of expression for them at that age. Show how to use 'expression of feelings' by stating them so they can do the same. (even though he is young) Like...I'm mad. Or, I'm frustrated. And of course, lots of love and support.
Comment 8:
Baby sign really helped us! That and showing "nice touch" after it happened and only giving attention to the wounded party.
Comment 9:
The "bad" behavior of the dayhome child is most likely an expression of fear of the loss of the parental relationship (no blame, just fact). This child needs to know she can trust you to love her...no matter what. Especially when we don't like a child's behavior, it is important to increase the relationship of trust. With a 1yo messages of "I love you even though you did this" look more like cuddling. Just giving your attention to the accosted child shows favoritism and reinforces the child's "story" that she is not wanted (by parents, by caregivers, etc.). Again I want to point out that I am not blaming anyone, because life necessitates separation of parent and child in our society for many reasons that are out of our control. I would take both children in your arms and place them in your lap and show the offending child how she hurt the other child and that it isn't nice and she wouldn't like to be hurt like that by anyone and that you, as the careprovider wouldn't hurt her and you need her to play nice with your son because you love them both and don't want either of them to be hurt. Build trust so her fear is not controlling her and forcing her to lash out.
Comment 10:
Demonstrate "gentle touch" when redirecting him. Our daycare's ECE teachers do this modeling. Biting and hitting until 2.5/3 is expected, though, they say.

"I found these on clearance in the beige/sand color. I absolutely love these. Yes, they look as though they have been worn, but that is how they are made. It adds character to the shoe. I love these and I am glad that I found them. They are extremely comfortable and very soft. I have sprayed them with a protector and can't wait to wear them."

"For the price, this is a great bootie-I got it in the sand color and it reminds me of the old chukkas-short suede laceups. Yes, the suede isn't the softest and the boot is slightly stiff. It seems to run true to size-maybe slightly long and wide, but nothing a thick sock can't fix. I imagine wearing them with cords and skinny jeans, and they should work fine if the weather isn't nasty-I don't think they will hold up in snow. But there are other boots for that..."
