Our customers love our Snowy White Chocolate! In fact, more customers purchase our 10-pound blocks of white chocolate than blocks of Dark or Milk Chocolate which is counter to most consumer trends. No kidding, there are days when we send out hundreds of pounds of Snowy White Chocolate. We wanted to find out why, so we inserted a questionnaire in every box of Snowy White that we shipped to see what recipes customers were making. I thought it would be fun to share some of the best of the best recipes that were sent.
If you love yummy, tart lemon bars then this recipe is one you're going to want to make immediately. It is more or less a traditional lemon bar with the addition of Choclatique Snowy White Chocolate and White Chocolate Chips. Please use fresh lemon juice and zest—it makes a big difference.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 25 to 27 minutes
Cool Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 12 bars
For the brownie:
2 tablespoons lemon zest, freshly grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (plus a little more for the pan)
1/3 cup Choclatique Snowy White Chocolate, melted
2 large eggs
1/4 cup Choclatique White Chocolate Chips
For the tart lemon glaze:
1 rounded cup powdered sugar
8 teaspoons lemon zest
4 tablespoon lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter and flour an 8 x 8-inch baking pan, shaking out the excess flour and set aside.
- Zest and juice the two lemons and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the flour, sugar, salt and softened butter until combined.
- Add the melted white chocolate and continue to mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Pour into baking dish and bake for 25-27 minutes, you should start to see the edges turn a light golden brown. Do not overbake, or the bars will be too dry.
- Allow to cool completely before glazing.
- Sift the powdered sugar and whisk with lemon zest and juice.
- Spread half the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.
- Spread the other half of the glaze over the bars, and let it set (it will not harden like most lemon glaze bars).
- Cut into bars and serve.
ChefSecret: Lightly coat the chocolate chips with a dusting of all-purpose flour before folding in to the batter. This will prevent the chocolate chips for settling to the bottom of the bar while baking.

A new evaluation system for New Jersey's teachers is one step closer to implementation. At the May 1 State Board of Education meeting, board members voted to officially propose the regulations governing teacher evaluation in New Jersey. If you wish to express your opinion of the proposed regulations, you can send a letter to the board members. NJEA has prepared instructions on writing to the State Board. Learn more
Members of the Special Education Stakeholders Coalition testified before the Joint Committee on Public Schools on Tuesday, June 11, to express concerns with the rapid pace at which the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) was adopting questionable revisions to special education regulations.
Take action today! Continue to write letters to the State Board of Education members, but more importantly, educate parents and community residents on the impact of these proposals by writing letters to the editor and urge concerned parents and colleagues to contact their legislators to intervene. All stakeholders—educators, parents, and legislators—must send one common message: Let the state-mandated Special Education Task Force—signed into law by Gov. Christie earlier this year— do its due diligence. Learn more

The winner and runner-up talk backstage after Thursday night's coronation.
Candice Glover is the queen of American Idol's 12th season as the R&B performer became the first woman in six years to win the Fox singing competition.
The 23-year-old from St. Helena Island, S.C., won the viewer vote over country singer Kree Harrison, 22, in what was Idol's second all-female finale and the first since Season 3.
Glover, who had auditioned twice before, in Seasons 9 and 11, said afterward, "I'm happy I came back, and that I was determined enough and it finally paid off."
She said she was "speechless. ... Part of me is so happy that it happened, and part of me is relieved that I don't have to sing for votes and worry about making it to the next round, because that's such a stressful process. But I know the work is only going to get bigger from here on out."
Harrison said she felt as if "Candice and I, we were almost too calm, because we already feel like we've made it. I'm so proud of her, and so proud of myself." And she said she told Glover, "'If you win, you'd better sing your butt off,' and she did. Singing when you're crying is probably the hardest thing in the world to do, and she killed it."
Glover, who performed her first single, I Am Beautiful, for the coronation, said: "I love it. I connect with it because of the words, and that's part of the reason I was crying."
When the two of them were awaiting the decision, Glover says, "the whole time we were up there, I was telling her I love her no matter what. I was rooting for Kree, and she was rooting for me, so we were just happy either way."
Many consider Glover and Harrison one of Idol's better finals duos of recent years. Both outlasted third-place finisher Angie Miller, an earlier favorite who also has received much praise for her talents as a singer.
Women held the upper hand in Season 12's final round, with all five female finalists outlasting their five male counterparts. They helped reverse a trend that had seen five consecutive male winners since Jordin Sparks' victory in Season 6.
But the season was a tumultuous one for Idol, with viewership for the longtime No. 1 show dropping more than 20% for the second year in a row. It began the season with three new judges — Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban — and ended with the fourth judge, original panelist Randy Jackson, announcing he was leaving the show amid speculation that a larger overhaul may be planned.
Asked at a news conference after the show whether he'd return for Season 13, Urban replied: "I have no idea. All I know is that there's talk about it and, for me, I'm in the studio literally this week finishing up my album and putting a tour together, and I hit the road in July. Onward."

Love these shoes
"I wasn't sure about purchasing athletic shoes online but I have had very good experience with Sketchers before so I decided to try them. I am so glad I did! They fit perfectly, they look cute and they keep me motivated to work out more this new year. They are not running shoes (though you could add more support with a special insert) but they are perfect for walking, aerobics, and zumba. Very lightweight and comfy; I would definitely recommend them."

Jon Abbott to take over as Leafs radio play-by-play voice
Steve Dangle
August 21 2013 01:09PM
Last year's voice of the Toronto Marlies is now the voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Well, he's one of them, anyway.
Jon Abbott, 28, will replace Dan Dunleavy as the play-by-play man on mid-week radio #Leafs broadcasts this season.— Tim Wharnsby (@WharnsbyCBC) August 21, 2013
With current Leafs radio play-by-play voice Dan Dunleavy leaving to take over as the future voice of the Buffalo Sabres, Jon Abbott, the play-by-play voice of the Toronto Marlies, will be taking over as the Leafs' play-by-play man for mid-week games. You can also find Abbott on Leafs TV before and after each game.
Thats pretty impressive, not just because Abbott is going to be doing play-by-play for the NHL's most popular team, but because he has reached this milestone at the tender age of just 28.
Accoring to the press release on MapleLeafs.com, Abbott began as a production assistant at Leafs TV before moving on to doing play-by-play work in the OHL, mostly with the Ottawa 67's. Abbott returned to MLSE to do Marlies play-by-play for the past two campaigns.
No word yet on what the plan is with the Marlies' play-by-play slot.
Here's some of Abbott's handiwork from last season, along with Marlies colour commentator and former Leaf Bob McGill. This was probably the highlight of the Marlies' season in 2012-13.

The London Eye carries up to 800 passengers in its 32 capsules (meant to represent London's 32 boroughs) on a 30-minute nice-and-easy ride with 360-degree views of the city.
Joining the London skyline in 2000 and originally called The Millennium Wheel, this 443-foot tall Ferris wheel is London's fourth highest structure.
Don't miss these views. Take a ride on The London Eye the next time you're in town.
Located on the historic Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn, New York, Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park is home to classic carnival rides as well as one of the most terrifying Ferris wheel experiences you'll ever encounter.
Choose one of the red or blue swinging cars and hold on tight—as the 150-foot tall wheel turns, the cars sway back and forth until the point where they slide down diagonally back to earth.
While you do have the option to board stationary cars and take in views of the Atlantic, the moving cars offer a much more memorable ride.
Perhaps the youngest Ferris wheel on our list, The Seattle Great Wheel opened a little over a year ago on June 29th, 2012.
The wheel carries more than 300 visitors in 42 enclosed gondolas, offering dramatic city views and a bird's-eye view of Elliott Bay and Waterfront Park.
Located at the southern end of Centennial Park, SkyView Atlanta takes guests on a 15-minute joyride, making four full revolutions and offering views of downtown Atlanta from 20 stories up.
Slated to open later this year, Australia's Melbourne Star will be one of only three giant observation wheels in the world—the other two being The London Eye and the Singapore Flyer.
Guests can expect floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed gondolas that fit up to 20 people, and gorgeous uninhibited views of one of Australia's most vibrant cities.
Take a ride on the Niagara SkyWheel, located just across the Canadian border in Clifton Hill, for a rare look at the famous Falls from 175 feet above in a comfortable, climate-controlled gondola.
American citizens will need a U.S. Passport or Passport Card to clear the border, but it's well worth it for an 8-12 minute ride on Canada's largest observation wheel.
The Texas Star Ferris Wheel first came on the scene in 1985—28 years later, it still reigns as the tallest Ferris wheel in North America at nearly 21 stories high.
One of Budget Travel's favorite American Boardwalks is also home to the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel at Pier Park.
Become one with the Chicago skyline as you climb 150-feet in one of the ride's 40 gondolas and take in views of Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower), the John Hancock Center, and Lake Michigan.
Rising high above the city at nearly 542 feet tall, the Singapore Flyer is the largest observation wheel in the world.
Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
The Singapore Flyer is open from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. Tickets cost $24 for adults, $15 for children, and $17 for seniors.
Originally built in 1897 during the Golden Jubilee Celebration of Emperor Franz Josef I, the Wiener Riesenard that stands today is the second version, re-built in 1945 after the first succumbed to a fire.
Nowadays, the Giant Ferris wheel stands high above Vienna at nearly 213 feet tall, offering visitors spectacular views of the city below.
Tickets for a ride on the Wiener Riesenrad cost $12 for adults and $6 for children.
Located just 25 minutes from Downtown L.A., Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier is home to the only solar-powered Ferris wheel in the world, the Pacific Wheel.
Towering over the Santa Monica Pier at 130-feet, this powerful wheel makes a whopping 2.5 revolutions every minute.
The Pacific Wheel dazzles visitors with panoramic views of the beautiful California coast.
The Wheel of Brisbane carries riders nearly 200 feet above the ground, offering beautiful 360-degree views of the Brisbane city skyline, the Parklands, and the South Bank in air-conditioned gondolas.
The Wheel of Brisbane is located in the Cultural Forecourt next to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre in the midst of the city's entertainment district.
Expect to pay $15 for an adult ticket, $10 for children ages 4-12, and $2 for children ages 1-3—save 10 percent by buying tickets online now thru Oct. 31, 2013.
The Brighton Wheel is located 90 minutes south of London along Great Britain's southern shore, and features a bird's-eye view of the Sussex coastline from the comfort of your air-conditioned, enclosed capsule nearly 165 feet above sea level.
The best part: you'll get to stay onboard for as long as three full revolutions per ride, giving you ample time to absorb the beautiful sea views around you.

We took our famous ultrasoft cotton, dyed it in indigo and washed it to absolute softness for a cool vintage denim effect. Inspired by the rugged styles worn at sea, we updated the superdurable and hardworking classic with crisp new details (like the button-flap chest pocket, twill vents and a longer placket). Please note that due to the nature of indigo, the dye may rub off on light-colored fabric and upholstery.

'Affordable Underground Furniture': D.I.Y. Coffin Clubs Catch On in New Zealand
February 25, 2017
Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which the glands that produce tears and saliva are destroyed. This causes dry mouth and dry eyes. The condition may affect other parts of the body, including the kidneys and lungs.
Xerostomia-Sjogren syndrome; Keratoconjunctivitis sicca - Sjogren; Sicca syndrome
The cause of Sjogren syndrome is unknown. It is an autoimmune disorder. This means the body attacks healthy tissue by mistake. The syndrome occurs most often in women ages 40 to 50. It is rare in children.
Primary Sjogren syndrome is defined as dry eyes and dry mouth without another autoimmune disorder.
Secondary Sjogren syndrome occurs along with another autoimmune disorder, such as:
Dry eyes and dry mouth are the most common symptoms of this syndrome.
Eye symptoms:
Mouth and throat symptoms:
Other symptoms may include:
A physical exam reveals dry eyes and mouth. There may be mouth sores because of the mouth dryness.
You may have the following tests:
The goal is to relieve symptoms.
Disease modifying drugs (DMARDs) similar to those used for rheumatoid arthritis may improve the symptoms of Sjogren syndrome. These include tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibiting drugs such as Enbrel, Humira or Remicaide.
Some things you can do to ease symptoms include:
Talk with your dentist about:
To prevent dental decay that can be caused by mouth dryness:
The disease is usually not life-threatening. The outcome depends on what other diseases you have.
There is a higher risk of lymphoma when Sjorgens has been very active for a long time.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of Sjogren syndrome.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Proverbs 31:8-31
Open your mouth for the dumb, for the rights of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, maintain the rights of the poor and needy. A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant, she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and tasks for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She girds her loins with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes herself coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers girdles to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.
D. Baxandall, rev, J. Pugh, Calculating Machines and Instruments, London: Science Museum, 1975, p. 66.
Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.

Revolution Counter by A. Sainte of Paris
- Description
- This portable revolution counter has a handle at one end. The point at the other end is pressed against the end of the axis of the shaft whose revolutions are counted. In between are two wheels. When the lower wheel turns once, the upper wheel moves one tenth of its circumference. The edges of both wheels are divided into 100 equal parts. Each tenth division is numbered.
- The lower wheel is labeled: TENS. Its divisions are numbered clockwise from 0 to 9 on the inside, and counterclockwise from 0 to 9 on the outside. The upper wheel is labeled: HUNDREDS. Its divisions are numbered counterclockwise from 0 to 9 on the inside and clockwise from 0 to 9 on the outside. A spring disengages the wheels to allow zeroing.
- A mark on the back of one wheel reads: A. Sainte (/) A Paris.
- The end of the shaft has three attachments. The instrument also has a metal weight and fits into a velvet and satin-lined case.
- By counting the number of revolutions of the shaft of a steam engine and knowing the steam pressure and the properties of the engine, steam engineers could compute the horsepower of the engine. A. Sainte patented a device for this purpose in 1877, and exhibited it at the Exhibition Universelle held in Paris in 1878. A form of the device was still being manufactured as late as 1903.

For sale by owner is a home selling approach that can either be a bonus or a headache. You've probably heard the old saying that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client, and without proper preparation, the same can be said about the homeowner who serves as her own real estate agent. Saving the dollars you would spend on an agent's commission may sound appealing, but selling homes without an agent still has its costs, and its risks.
In the present inventory-heavy housing market, you can't afford not to be honest with yourself about the money and time you're willing to spend on marketing, selling and closing, and your ability to successfully represent yourself and your home.
Before you attempt for sale by owner, here's an overview of Sales 101 to help you weigh your options.
Not-so-magic marketing.
There's much more to marketing your property than simply sticking a For Sale sign on the front lawn. You'll need detailed, descriptive fact sheets to accompany that sign and to post elsewhere, advertising online and local newspapers and real estate circulars, and access to other promotional tools that will reach your target buyer. One thing's for sure: this isn't anything like selling your old set of golf clubs. It takes savvy to promote your home's best assets in a sea of competition, and commitment to stay on task in unpredictable circumstances. It also takes money, so, just as the pros do, you'll need to add home marketing costs to your monthly budget if you're doing for sale by owner.
Accessibility for the sale. The best time to sell a home is when the buyer is in the mood to buy, which may or may not suit your personal plans and schedule. It's possible to designate show days and times, but you really need to be flexible in order to welcome opportunity when it literally comes knocking. Remember, you're a salesperson now, and you're up against many other homes on the market at the same time.
Touring the digs. Also consider your comfort level with actually showing your home to potential buyers. As excited as you may be over the move you and your family are making, your current abode has a lot of memories, sentiment, and life experience tied into it--all things that have to stay out of the conversation during a sales pitch. You may be selling a home, but the buyer is shopping for a property, and the more objective their tour guide, the better.
Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. The sale of a home involves an important array of documentation, from contracts to disclosure forms, and you'll be in charge of sourcing and assembling every last bit of it. To avoid for sale by owner pitfalls, you may employ the services of a real estate attorney to help clarify complicated jargon and processes, interpret local and state laws involved in the transaction, or handle the closing process. Regardless of the assistance you get, you must have a clear understanding of all requirements to properly organize and manage the paperwork process.
Passing inspection. Before putting your home on the market or even thinking about an asking price, it's wise to have your home evaluated by a professional home inspector. He or she will look into every structural nook and cranny to determine developing issues as well as existing problems to be addressed, all of which impact your preparation of the home for sale and the parameters of the sales contract. Also be aware that just about all home purchase contracts include an inspection contingency clause, allowing the buyer to bring their own home inspector in to evaluate the structure before the sale is final. Conducting your own home inspection early in the process is both important for your own preparation and a way to prevent surprises at closing time. For more information on home inspections, check out our Home Inspection Survival Guide.
Writing the price tag. You may have big dreams about the profits you'll reap by selling on your own, but before they come true, you've got to set an asking price that's based on a number of factors, including reality. You'll need to research sales data for comparable homes in your area, and may also require a review by an independent real estate appraiser. Also consider a dollar range in which you're willing to negotiate, keeping in mind that the commission an agent would receive should be incorporated into the total price (no discounts for the buyer just because you're the agent here).
Setting the stage. Finally, you'll need to spend time primping your property for up-close attention from potential buyers. This requires looking at indoor and outdoor spaces through their eyes and doing the kind of sprucing and simplifying that will allow them to visualize themselves being completely at home. Removing clutter and tending to landscaping are two important starting points, but professional real estate agents typically go several steps further by employing home stagers to perform cosmetic repairs, bring in fresh paint and carpeting, and arrange a furnishing scheme that is neutral yet welcoming. If you plan to equal a professional's sales success, expect to invest both time and money in staging before opening your door to browsing buyers. See "Stage Your Home for Sale" for more planning details.
Still think that for sale by owner is a snap? Considering all there is to do and know, it's easy to understand why professional agents earn the commissions they do selling homes. Training, experience, and a host of resources are the valuable contributions they bring to the sales table, and whether you involve their help or go it alone, you really do get what you pay for.
Finally, in addition to the monetary costs of the sales process, consider the value of your own time. You'll have to invest a lot of it if you decide to be your own agent. Also consider the costs of making a mistake. Inexperience can lead to errors, which can lead to lawsuits when for sale by owner transactions go astray.

Who will be crowned as the most unbearable person on Mangashare?!?!

Who will be crowned as the most unbearable person on Mangashare?!?!
poll closes in 7 days.
I wonder why no one has commented on this the entire week?
I voted Kakashix, I've seen a couple of his threads and they were pretty annoying.
IMHO FS was not annoying in the truest sense of the word. He didn't troll, and he didn't purposely use obscenities, (nor l don't think verbal attacks).
FS contibuted many positive threads to MS, and for that I reason I found it easy to pass over the Orochimaru threads he was famous for, which I didn't particularly care to read.
Now I realise that these are just my own limited observations, and I also realise that these "Awards" are purely fictional (or thats how they were conceived), however I still feel the other guy probably should have got the award, based on what I have come to see of the quality (or lack thereof) of his posts.
Sad and sorry to see FS got it.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Thank you paulbee! I'm glad someone pointed that out as it wasn't for me to say weather I was annoying or not. I'd like to think that the majority of members who voted for me did it out of humorous intentions... XD

Dear Editor,
Since the war in Iraq and Afghanistan began, we have heard the same line from the liberal Democrat elite. "We support the troops, not the mission." Well, thanks to Richard Belzer, who plays a detective on NBC's Law and Order SVU television show, their cover has been officially blown. Belzer, while appearing on Bill Maer's HBO talk show, referred to our military people as a bunch of dumb 19-20 year old kids who are brainwashed and have no idea what's really going on in Iraq. He feels that if you don't read Democratic party propaganda papers like the New York Times or watch CNN, another public relations wing of the Democratic party, you have no idea what's happening in the world.
As a former member of the United States Air Force and a member of the American Legion, I was quite insulted by his comments. For a liberal idiot like this man to think that does not surprise me in the least. I will give him credit for being one the few liberal Democrats who has the guts to say what they all really feel. He does not have to be elected to public office.
I encourage more Democrats to be like Mr. Belzer, tell us how you really feel and what you really believe. It will make the choice for the people that much easier come November.

Last Thursday, June 16th The Society kicked off its first event in a series aimed at spotlighting the fascinating world of art collecting. The event was sponsored by none other than one of our favorite denim crushes Siwy Denim, and to commemorate the collaboration a selection of artist were chosen to get their art on using a pair of Siwy jeans as their canvas and were showcased during the event. Check out some of the images of the event bellow for a look at how totally amazing they turned out and more. We definitely dig!

Pat Jones with Ace Hardware shared the story of his business at the recent Emery County Business Chamber luncheon. He said his great grandfather worked on the LDS temple in Salt Lake City. He stayed there in Salt Lake until its completion. After that he moved to Wellington. His grandfather started a trucking business. The family rented the Whitmore ranch and raised 60 acres of produce which they sold to mining camps in the region. They also grew watermelons. They made a good living and worked hard. His grandfather did all the weeding himself and there wasn't a weed on the whole plot.
He passed his work ethic on to his family. His grandfather started a thrashing business and a lot of his time was spent in Emery County. His grandmother was from Emery County. His grandfather ended up bringing the business to Main Street in Castle Dale. This was in 1936 and they were in the grain business and put in grain handling equipment. Others joined with the business including Jones' dad and uncle. They set up a steam roller which ground feed for cows.
Jones had three brothers, but of them, he was the only one interested in maintaining the family business. When he was just out of college, his dad had health problems and needed help with the business. Jones told his dad he would come back and help if he could put in a hardware store. They tore down an old building and put in a hardware store which has grown into what it is today as they have added several aspects to the original business.
Back then money was hard to come by, but the Helper Bank took a chance and helped with the funding of the business. Jones Ace Hardware was born.
"Our goal was to help our people get hardware here in Emery County. Back then you had to go to Price for everything and we wanted the people of Emery County to be able to shop in Emery County," said Jones.
Jones attributes the success of Ace Hardware to their service and their willingness to invest in Emery County and put their money back into their business. They have a service minded business that caters to the customer and seeing they are taken care of and that they find what they need in a friendly, clean environment. Jones also pointed out they have a liberal return policy for merchandise.
Jones Ace Hardware carries a wide variety of paint, gardening and plant needs, seeds, fishing and hunting supplies, electronics, hardware, appliances, plumbing, heating, electrical and other miscellaneous items. They also sell hunting and fishing licenses. They will mix paint to find the color you want and will offer advice on your home projects.
Jones is proud of his helpful, friendly staff and they want to be your hardware store.
He encourages everyone to come in to see what Jones Ace Hardware has to offer. Jones Ace Hardware is open Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m.

Two Colorado state senators were recalled from office this week by voters seeking to repeal stricter gun control laws. Comments from Facebook are edited for clarity and grammar:
Recall elections are generally a bad thing — the reason many voters cited for keeping Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in office even though they didn't like him.
A lot of people who vote in general elections simply can't, or won't, take the time to vote in special elections. Clearly, in these campaigns, the gun advocates must have showed up in force, but the results can be reversed with another recall or, more likely, the next general election.
— Walter Johnson
It matters not whether you believe the expanded background checks and limited magazine capacity laws are good or bad. The issue is that the legislators obviously voted contrary to their constituents' expectations. As elected officials, they misrepresented those who elected them.
If the majority of their constituents wanted them to vote against the law, that's what they should have done. Perhaps this will encourage other legislators to vote the will of the people, not their own agenda.
— Terry Hay
Recalls are a great idea when there are criminal charges or ethical misconduct involved, but I agree that they're usually not a good thing when people are simply upset with voting records.
If we tried to recall every high-ranking elected official who voted even once against the majority of his or her constituents, or broke even one campaign promise, we'd be threatening many of them. General elections happen often enough, and you can vote to change things then.
— Allan Vavroch

|In response to Re: Toilet blockage
It depends on what you mean by a quality toilet.
: : I have a tenant(couple)who have problems blocking up the toilet once a week on average. After many examinations, both my plumber and I believe there is nothing wrong with the toilet or the sewer lines. We replaced the toilet with a quality brand; but the problem remains. The blockage is always freed with the aid of a plunger, and sometimes with very little effort.
: : Do you think this condition would be solved by the installation of a Power Flush Toilet? They are very good tenants, and I would like to keep the unit occupied.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

I make one adjustment - one shifter at a time, for example - per night so I feel a sense of accomplishment but not rushed or sick of the project. One fix, and then I leave. Each night, I look forward to the next session. My bike is coming back to life.
Lesson 5: You Never Know It All
Years ago, I watched an old-time master mechanic put hydraulic rim brakes on my bike. He read the manufacturer's instructions, roughly translated into English from a very non-English language. Once through, he put the booklet down and said, "Eh, we'll figure it out." You use what you know to make your way through what you don't know, which is what I'm doing tonight. It seems that the front-end clunk that I thought was coming from my headset isn't. There was no sign of wear; once repacked with grease, the whole assembly was like new. Now I have the bike out of the stand, front brake locked, and I'm rocking the bike back and forth.
What else could it be? I keep the front brake locked, put my fingers under the rear of the saddle, and slowly lift. Clunk. Something's loose in the rear of the bike. But I had unbolted the shock early on to check for play in the rear pivots, and they were fine. Then, the lightbulb: If the noise isn't there when the shock is removed, but it is there when the shock is attached, then it must be coming from the shock itself. I lift the bike again, and there's a subtle shift in the rocker arms near the top of the shock.
I read the owner's manual, then call my shop and learn that the problem is a worn bushing/aluminum reducer combo, which is remedied by pressing out the bushing and pressing in a new one. As a bonus, the shop has a heavy-duty version that, I'm told, should last "almost forever." It's a bigger problem than I anticipated, but diagnosing it has me itching to tackle this one myself.
Lesson 6: Passion Is Contagious
My riding friends have discovered my inclination for home wrenching. It's been pretty obvious since the time when I was first learning and said something like "I was adjusting my derailleur last night" just before the derailleur shifted into the rear wheel and was ripped in half. But when my bike is consistently tuned, or when I share insight that others can adopt, I earn a little respect, as well as a reputation for knowing how to fix things in a pinch.
The afternoon after my end-cap painting session, I go to the basement to bring my masterpiece to the surface. My three-year-old son tromps down the steps behind me, and heads to a pile of exiled summer toys.
I take my bike off the stand and pump up the tires. I'm fiddling with a quick-release when I hear the pump working behind me. There's Gabe, pushing on the pump handle, trying to force air into the plastic tires on his Big Wheel.
"Daddy, can you help me fix the wheels?" he asks me.
"Sure, buddy," I say. "We'll figure it out."

Poster presented at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, Hollywood, CA, November 4-7, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/4321 Despite established links between child abuse and psychological symptoms such as depression, dissociation, and anxiety, many abuse survivors experience awareness of specific abuse instances or abuse-related symptoms without acknowledging the abuse itself. The current study examines relations among abuse awareness, physical symptoms, and emotional functioning in young adults. One hundred eighty-five university students responded to questions regarding perceptions of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as standard abuse and symptom measures. Ninety-six individuals completed the questionnaire a second time 1-2 years later. At baseline, labeling oneself as having been abused was not correlated with depression, anxiety, dissociation, or physical health complaints. At follow-up, however, labeling abuse was significantly positively related to depression, anxiety, physical health complaints, and the number of reported visits to a health professional, even after controlling for abuse severity. These results indicate that processes involved in abuse perception appear to be connected to individuals' psychological and physical functioning, and that abuse awareness may have important clinical implications.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has called the increase in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis an epidemic (2000). Is ADHD over-diagnosed? Is it misdiagnosed? Weinstein et al. (2000) report that ADHD presentation in children resembles trauma symptoms. Further, maltreated children are often diagnosed with both ADHD and PTSD (McLeer et al., 1994; Famularo et al., 1996). Phenotypic similarity between ADHD and trauma symptomatology calls etiology into question. Because of teachers' important roles in children's lives, this study examines teachers' views about this dialectic. Teachers (N = 156) worldwide (85% U.S., 7.1% Canada, 3.2% Asia, 1.3% from Australia and 4.5% unidentified) completed an internet survey and described maltreatment effects on students. Responses were compared to ADHD diagnostic criteria. For neglect 74.1% of learning and 72.8% of behavioral effects identified were also ADHD symptoms. For abuse, 56.9% of learning and 55.4% of behavioral effects identified were also ADHD symptoms. Implications for neglected and abused children identified as having ADHD are discussed.

We propose a model in which childhood betrayal trauma predicts adult betrayal trauma and dissociation, and dissociation predicts mental health. Paths between adult betrayal trauma and dissociation, and adult betrayal trauma and mental health were set at zero. This model was tested using questionnaire data from 307 undergraduates. The model fit the data very well (comparative fit index = .98, chi-square(df = 8) = 21.99), and performed as well as other less parsimonious models. Alternative equivalent models and implications of these findings are discussed.

Poster presented at the 21st Annual Meeting of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, Toronto ON, Canada, November 2-5, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/4324 The Brief Betrayal Trauma Survey (BBTS; Goldberg & Freyd, 2004) assesses potentially traumatic childhood and adulthood experiences, which can be categorized as high in betrayal (HB) or low in betrayal (LB) depending on whether the perpetrator was close or not close to the respondent. Previous research has provided support for betrayal trauma theory (Freyd, 1996) in revealing that, while LB predicts psychological distress in adulthood, HB traumas explain significantly more of the predictive variance. In the present study, changes in the BBTS were introduced in an effort to increase its interpretability and validity, and further tests of betrayal trauma theory are being conducted. Our preliminary findings are consistent with previous research in that HB events significantly predict higher levels of dissociation, depression, and anxiety symptoms than do LB events. In our sample of young adults, childhood HB events alone, and not events experienced in adulthood, predict increased symptomatology. Furthermore, those childhood HB events that were directly experienced explain the most variance, whereas those that were witnessed or heard about do not contribute to the predictive associations. These findings have implications for conceptualizations of traumas, their sequelae, and their treatment.

The memory was presented as either continuous or recovered. Participants judged report believability, memory accuracy, and rated each incident on a scale of 0=not abuse to 5=definitely abuse. Analyses were conducted using a 2(continuous or recovered memory) x 2 (victim sex) x 2 (physical or sexual abuse) x 2 (stranger or close perpetrator) repeated measures ANOVA. Participants completed the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES; Bernstein & Putnam, 1986), Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI; Glick & Fiske, 1996), and Brief Betrayal Trauma Inventory (BBTS; Goldberg & Freyd, 2003). The believability bias hypothesis was supported. Continuous memory was believed more (p<.0001) and rated more accurate (p<.0001) than recovered memory, and male victims were believed more than female victims (p=.05). Level of dissociation was positively correlated with likelihood to label "being made to have sex with" or "being beaten with a belt" as abuse (p<.01), and level of sexism was negatively correlated with labeling these actions as abuse (p<.02).

Not surprisingly, identification with Native American heritage has been found to be affected by the individual's level of acculturation, or resistance to, dominant white culture, as well as ownership of traditional customs and beliefs (Garrett & Pichette, 2000). Acculturation studies in the extant literature report ways to measure acculturation and discuss the relationship between acculturation and psychological health. They do not however, examine the relationship of acculturation to intergenerational trauma. The current research documents prevalence rates of historical grief and betrayal trauma to better understand how these relate to acculturation. Native Americans in Oregon (N=45) participated in the study. Participants completed the Historical Losses Scale (Whitbeck et al., 2004), Native American Acculturation Scale (Garrett & Pichette, 2000) and the Brief Betrayal Trauma Survey (Goldberg & Freyd, under review). As predicted betrayal trauma is negatively correlated to acculturation r = .27, p <.05, meaning that Native Americans who are less acculturated to dominant white culture experience more trauma.

Based on Freyd's Betrayal Trauma Theory (1996), we predicted that abuse by a close perpetrator would be related to longer DL, because nondisclosure may serve as a protective coping mechanism in the same way as unawareness of abuse. BTT frames disclosure as a risk that poses a threat to the emotional needs of the child, without requiring the child's conscious awareness of the way in which the world operates. We found that closeness of perpetrator significantly predicts DL above and beyond other variables such as age at abuse onset, gender of survivor and abuse severity. Abuse by very close perpetrators was associated with a greater likelihood of first disclosure years following abuse, if disclosure ever occurred. While delayed disclosure may allow the attachment relationship to be sustained, it may also prolong abuse and prevent receipt of emotional, legal, or financial support. Since disclosure may result in the loss of important social relationships, it is important to address these risks in interventions geared toward encouraging disclosure to promote ethical intervention delivery.

Understanding potential for perpetration among young adult men is important for prevention, but research on perpetration in non-convicted samples is limited. We asked 531 undergraduate men about their experiences with abuse as a child, as well as perpetration of child sexual abuse. Approximately 18% report fantasies about child sexual abuse and 8% have masturbated to these fantasies. Four percent indicate some likelihood that they would have sex with a child, and just over 2.5% report having perpetrated at least one sexually abusive act against a child. More students in this survey report fantasies about child sex than in past surveys, perhaps because of the increased availability of child pornography, or differences in willingness to admit such fantasies.

High dissociators remembered significantly more than low dissociators when listening to neutral stories, and performed no differently than low dissociators when listening to trauma related stories.

We found a crossover interaction for Stroop interference: High-DES participants showed more interference (conflicting color--baseline latency for ink naming) in a selective-attention Stroop task and less interference in the dual-task Stroop task. The interaction between attentional context and dissociation for Stroop interference and the free recall results are consistent with a cognitive-environments view of dissociative tendencies.

Data were collected from participants in the Early Intervention Foster Care program (EIFC), a randomized efficacy trial based on the empirically evaluated Multidimensional Specialized Foster Care program. Dissociative symptoms were assessed using three subscales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) that have been previously published in the trauma literature. Because the three subscales were highly intercorrelated, items were combined for a Exploratory Factor Analysis. Two distinct factors were found that may comprise new subscales assessing dissociative symptomatology and post-traumatic arousal symptomatology. In order to test their predictive validity, analyses compared the foster care sample and a community sample with no known maltreatment history and also compared dissociation across maltreatment categories. Implications for the use of dissociation as an adaptive coping mechanism are discussed. 200011 bytes application/pdf en_US Examining Dissociation in Maltreated Preschool Children Other

Poster to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association, Honolulu, 28 July - 1 August, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/4334 In Pennebaker's writing paradigm, participants are instructed either to write about emotional events or neutral topics. Those assigned to the emotional writing condition typically display physical and psychological health improvements as compared to those who write about something neutral (Pennebaker, 1997; Smyth, 1998). Up until now, the writing paradigm has for the most part been applied to events which have been described as emotional but not specifically traumatic and those few studies that have looked at the effect of writing about traumatic experiences have only involved one-time non-complex traumas. There is evidence that the consequences of one-time traumas are different than those of continuous, complex traumas, such as child abuse. Furthermore, betrayal trauma theory (Freyd, 1996, 2001) distinguishes traumas on the basis of two event dimensions which may elicit different reactions: life-threat (e.g. major car accident; violent rape by a stranger) and social betrayal (e.g. abuse by a close other). Betrayal trauma is perpetrated by someone who is close to the victim and/or upon whom the victim is dependent. Such events are associated with unawareness and impaired memory for the trauma, presumably for the purpose of preserving the victim-perpetrator relationship. Exposure to betrayal trauma has been associated with various negative sequelae. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the generalizability of Pennebaker's Paradigm to betrayal trauma. A secondary goal of the study was to help elucidate the mechanism behind this phenomenon by analyzing the content of the essays using Pennebaker's Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC; Pennebaker, Francis & Booth, 2001), and rating the essays in terms of characteristics hypothesized to play important roles in the effect of writing, such as coherence, presence of emotion words, narrative point of view, and development over time. Sixty-five physically symptomatic university undergraduates (51 female, 14 male; mean age = 19.94 years, SD = 3.86) were randomly assigned to one of two writing conditions. Participants in the traumatic condition were asked to write about a distressing interpersonal event they experienced during childhood and those in the neutral condition were asked to write about how they spent their time during the previous day. They wrote about their assigned topic twice, one week apart. All participants were administered abuse inventories, and pre and posttest physical and psychological health questionnaires. Over 50% of all participants reported having experienced at least one betrayal trauma and women reported more betrayal trauma than men. Betrayal trauma and health measures were found to be negatively related. A significant gender by writing condition interaction emerged, which revealed that, in general, women in the trauma writing condition benefited more than men. Closer examination of the content and structure of the essays revealed interesting patterns between certain writing components and outcome measures. These findings suggest that it would be fruitful to consider the type of trauma experienced by a person when determining the best intervention. In addition, directing the writing process to include those components found to be related to outcomes may enhance the effectiveness of a writing intervention. This needs to be tested in a controlled experimental trial. Future research is also recommended to replicate these findings in a larger and less homogenous population.

Using a directed forgetting paradigm, the current study demonstrates that under divided-attention demands high dissociators have impaired memory for words associated with trauma (e.g. "incest") but not neutral words, as compared with low dissociators. In addition, the high dissociators report significantly more trauma history and significantly more "betrayal trauma" (abuse by a caregiver). These results are consistent with the proposal that dissociation may aid individuals with a history of betrayal traumas to keep threatening information out of awareness. 197972 bytes application/pdf en_US Forgetting traumatic stimuli Article

We tested whether adults whose abuser was a family member or non-relative living in the home would report substantially poorer health than those whose abuser was a family friend, relative living outside the home, or a stranger. Participants were HMO members undergoing a complete physical examination. 3,100 (17.4%) reported some form of childhood sexual abuse (fondling, attempted intercourse, or intercourse) and also identified their abuser. Thirty-two percent of sexual abuse survivors had high betrayal, defined as an abuser who was a family or non-family member living in the home. Over 75% of those reporting a high betrayal abuser were women. High betrayal abuse was related to depression, anxiety, suicidality, panic, and anger.

Since 1995, psychologists have increasingly used the term "false memory" to describe memory errors for details (e.g., errors for words learned in a list); such errors in details were once referred to by other terms, such as "intrusions". "False memories" is also used to refer to suggestibility experiments in which whole events are apparently confabulated and in media accounts of contested memories of childhood abuse. We examined use of the term "false memory/ies" to describe 1.) suggestibility for, or confabulation of, entire events or 2.) errors in details. Using the keyword "false memory/ies", journal articles published between 1992 and August 2003 were identified. Editorials, commentaries, responses to other articles, and book reviews were excluded. Of the 397 articles collected, 222 (55.9%) were empirical reports. Approximately 70% of empirical articles used the term "false memory/ies" to refer to error in details. The shift in language away from prior terms such as "memory intrusions" to a new use of the term "false memory" presents serious ethical challenges to the data-interpretation process by encouraging over-generalization and misapplication of research findings on word memory to social issues. The research and ethical implications of the new use of the term will be discussed. 53276 bytes application/pdf en_US Lack of precision, misleading implications, and ethical issues arising from the use of the label "false memory" for errors in word memory Other
