Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 26 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah456 Celadon is unique, very pretty color Went with the celedon color for my LR - very versatile light green, maybe a hint of soft, silvery blue. Soft underfoot and to sit on. Easy to clean, short, tight pile is good for allergies. Kitchen is painted SW Sea Salt - with line of sight into the LR, this rug looks fantastic. September 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lovelife6 Fabulous rug We have lived for 5 years with new hardwood floors in our kitchen. Due to the amount of food that passes in our kitchen it has taken me awhile to get used to the idea of a rug. The echo in our room was awful as well. The rug arrived today and I am very impressed with the feel look and quality. I am ordering another tonight as my kitchen is L shaped and these will be runners. I am so thrilled! February 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by brownshingle Lovely rug Very pretty, soft underfoot, and seems really durable. Very happy with this rug. November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dbra Beautiful rug. Soft feel but tightly woven. Great buy. October 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NightNurse1990 Makes the room! I looked at this rug for a long time! Finally I made the purchase and I am so happy that I did! We remodeled our living room in a beautiful blue with white trim and a nautical touch. This rug was the finally piece that was needed. I got the slate color and it goes perfect! Not matchy matchy, but a subtle design that goes with everything. Vacuums easily and hides dirt well. I used a rug pad underneath for stability and it does not move at all! It was delivered way before the estimated 3-4 weeks which I was thrilled with! August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by punkin Just the right warm gray rug with pizazz! I had been looking for a stylish warm gray colored rug that would go well with the new warm gray & yellow Ikat print that I had put on a sofa, that I had recently restored. I think that I finally found it with this fantastic rug from Garnet Hill. I thank the Garnet Hill buyers once again for their outstanding taste in finding just the right rug for my home. The wool is very soft under foot and will be just the right finishing touch for this eclectic room. I had been searching high & low for just the right rug with some pizazz to complete this room. It does look great with the Ikat print, so kudos again to Garnet Hill! May 14, 2013

"I am the proud owner of my fourth pair of these sandals. The memory foam insoles are seriously the most comfortable thing this flat footed gal has ever had on her feet. I walk a lot and prefer these to Skechers memory foam sneakers. The colors are vibrant and hard to choose just one. They hold their color and shape well, I am still wearing my first pair that are 2 years old and they still look new. I bought 3 more pair just in case Nike stops making them. They run true to size, I wear a 7 in all shoes and these fit perfectly. Buy them, you won't be disappointed!"

Great buy
"I bought the these on clearance and they were worth it. These nike sandals are very comfortable and the only reason they are on clearance is because of the season's color palette change. Same quality and the new ones on the shelf, and in my opinion, these bright sandals are a perfect addition for comfort and a casual style. My feet are on the wide side, but they still fit nicely."

Perfect for travel, beach and the daily commute
"I bought my first pair of these at a DSW outlet in June 2011 and they are only now beginning to show signs of constant wear. Our summer season is short, but these make it into my suitcase for every winter getaway. I've got a black/white pair, one in black/hot pink and decided on two other colours: lime green/grey and brown/purple. I wear a size 7 1/2 but buy a size 8, which fits great."

By PHIL FAUVERStaff writer
Emery County has purchased a new fire truck for every town in Emery County that has a fire station. The new fire trucks were purchased from the Smeal Fire Apparatus Company of Snyder, Neb.
Five of the new fire trucks purchased by Emery County for Elmo, Huntington, Cleveland, Castle Dale, and Ferron, were gathered in Orangeville for training Feb. 26. The day was overcast, cold and windy with intermittent light snow or sleet.
The reason for this gathering was to acquaint and train the volunteer fire fighters from several fire departments with the controls on the new fire trucks that can spray 100 gallons of foam per minute. The foam is a combination of water, air under pressure and a chemical that produces a white foam. The foam is adjusted by the fire fighter to produce a thick cream like foam and not a watery foam or a foam filled with air. This foam, when adjusted properly, acts like a blanket on a fire, by blocking oxygen from getting to the fuel.
Bill Silva from the Park City Fire Deptartment was in charge of the training. He said, "Each engine is different and we are testing each engine to make sure they work. We have one problem engine now and that is the Cleveland engine. The injection pump is not getting power to inject the foam concentrate and that is a manufacturing problem."
These fire trucks also have the capability of holding 2,500 gallons of water that can be sucked into the truck from a swimming pool, a pond or a place like Joe's Valley Dam. The truck can also transfer water to other trucks. Richard Herring, Castle Dale's Fire Chief was on hand to demonstrate how to use a hose releasing foam. Margaret Herring, volunteer fire fighter was seen learning about the control panel on the foam truck. Tracy Addley, Fire Chief of the Orangeville Fire Department was overseeing the control panel adjustments on one of the new trucks.
The training was successful and very impressive. What is fire fighting foam? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "Fire fighting foam is a foam used for fire suppression. Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion. Fire fighting foam was invented by the Russian engineer and chemist Aleksandr Loran in 1902."
The surfactants used need to produce foam in concentration of less than 1 percent. Other components of fire retardant foams are organic solvents.

Twitter Gets Serious on Android
Twitter is attempting to better appeal to the Android audience. On Monday, Twitter said it acquired Cover, an Android lock-screen app that automatically picks which apps are shown on the home screen depending on where you are.
The company is Twitter's first Android-specific acquisition, a kind of investment that it has yet to make for iOS-specific companies. It suggests that the Twitter experience on Android could become distinct from other mobile platforms.
The announcement, made on Cover's blog post, was short on details. A Twitter spokeswoman declined to disclose the terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
"Twitter, like Cover, believes in the incredible potential of Android. They share our vision that smartphones can be a lot smarter ― more useful and more contextual ― and together we're going to make that happen," said Cover in its blog post.
It is unclear how exactly Cover will fit into Twitter's overall strategy. Cover essentially customizes the user's home screen, making different apps readily available, by recognizing where you are. For example, while at work the home screen may show your email and news apps while at home it will switch to Facebook, Secret and Instagram.
The acquisition also reinforces Twitter's mobile-first approach. Over 75% of Twitter users access the service through their mobile devices. As more and more apps compete for the user's attention, Cover's acquisition could help keep Twitter top of mind.
Earlier this month, news came out that Twitter had lost Sara Haider, one of Twitter's early engineers who worked on Android. She left the company for Secret.
The Twitter spokeswoman also declined to disclose how many people from Cover will be joining the short messaging service. The three co-founders—Todd Jackson, Edward Ho and Gordon Luk–were most recently at Facebook, Google and a games startup called Goodhustle prior to starting Cover.
Cover launched in October 2013. Its blog post said it has reached "hundreds of thousands" of users since. The Google Play store puts the app's installs within a range of 100,000 to 500,000.

Exercise-Induced Infertility
A balanced diet and regular exercise are essential to staying healthy and have been proven to increase fertility; however, too much exercise may actually impair your reproductive system, as well as your partner's. So how much of a good thing is too much?
During puberty, a girl first gets her period when her fat content rises above 17 percent and will cease if her body fat falls below 12 percent any time after that. This is because approximately 30 percent of a woman's estrogen comes from fat cells, so too little (or too much) can throw her hormones out of balance and affect her ability to ovulate. In fact, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, low body weight accounts for just as many cases of primary infertility as obesity (6 percent of all primary infertility cases).
A body fat level just 10 to 15 percent above or below normal has been shown to cause oligomenorrhea (irregular menstruation) or amenorrhea (cessation of menstruation), which studies have shown occurs in 1 to 44 percent of athletes (compared with two to five percent in the general population), most often in ballet dancers and long distance runners. In one study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, the estrogen levels in healthy women who began training for a marathon decreased by over 50 percent. Female athletes may also have a shortened luteal phase (less than ten days), or anovulatory cycles (in which there is still bleeding, but ovulation does not occur). Even if a female athlete continues to ovulate, the lining of her uterus may not be prepared to receive and nourish a fertilized egg because her body isn't producing sufficient ovarian hormones. Unfortunately, these conditions may be hard to detect because these women appear to be menstruating normally and their infertility may not be diagnosed until they are unable to conceive.
Strenuous exercise has also been shown to potentially affect the outcome of IVF. A study reported in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that women who exercised four or more hours a week for years were 40 percent less likely to have a live birth after in vitro fertilization, and exercising four or more hours for one to nine years before attempting in vitro fertilization doubled the risk of implantation failure. Conversely, women who walked one to three hours a week did not increase their risk of IVF failure, but a woman who walked more than four hours a week were 50 percent less likely to have a live birth. However, the researchers add that their findings were "not strong enough to encourage women to abandon exercise and embrace a sedentary lifestyle," and that more studies are needed to confirm their findings.
Although the cause of this estrogen deficiency and menstrual irregularity in athletes is not fully understood, scientists believe that ovarian stimulation and estrogen production are decreased due to suppression of hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which also decreased the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland.
However, it has been shown that exercise alone does not induce amenorrhea. The type and severity of the infertility problems experienced by over-exercisers depend on several factors, including the type of exercise, the intensity and duration of training, and the rate of progression of the training program. For instance, researchers found that normally sedentary women who took more than one year to build up to low to moderate exercise (15 to 20 miles/week) did not experience problems, but women who participated in moderate to intense training (30 to 50 miles/week) with a buildup of just two months had a higher incidence of significant menstrual abnormalities.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Isaiah 8:13-9:7
But the LORD of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he will become a sanctuary, and a stone of offense, and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many shall stumble thereon; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken."
Bind up the testimony, seal the teaching among my disciples. I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. And when they say to you, "Consult the mediums and the wizards who chirp and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? To the teaching and to the testimony! Surely for this word which they speak there is no dawn. They will pass through the land, greatly distressed and hungry; and when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will curse their king and their God, and turn their faces upward; and they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be thrust into thick darkness.
But there will be no gloom for her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased its joy; they rejoice before thee as with joy at the harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as on the day of Midian. For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

BLM and Sierra Club Mission Outdoors Commemorate Veterans Day with Photo and Essay Contest for Military Service Members and Families
As part of their continued commitment to serving the members of our nation's Armed Forces, the Bureau of Land Management and Sierra Club Mission Outdoors kicked off their first annual Veterans Day Essay and Photo Contest. This contest, centered on the theme "What My Public Lands Mean to Me," encourages veterans, active-duty military, and their families to submit photos, essays and video about their experiences and memories of time spent outside on America's public lands.
The BLM and Sierra Club will accept entries through Thursday, December 6 at http://mypubliclands.challenge.gov. Beginning December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day) and through December 14, members of the public will be able to vote for their favorite entries through the same website. The three most popular entries will be featured on the BLM and Sierra Club websites and social media platforms, and receive an outdoor support kit from the Sierra Club.
"As a veteran, I have not only experienced the healing powers of our country's public lands first hand, but have been lucky enough to hear others tell me about their positive experiences," said Sierra Club Mission Outdoors Director Stacy Bare. "This contest will allow others like me to share their stories, photos, and videos highlighting the important role our public lands have played in their lives."
The BLM-managed lands provide veterans with not only a wide variety of recreational activities, but also an opportunity to enhance physical and emotional well-being. Today's announcement comes one month after a military family outing at the Organ Mountains on BLM-managed land in New Mexico, hosted by the Sierra Club. During the event, for service members and their families engaged in hikes, children's events, and educational workshops.
"Each and every day, the men and women of our Armed Forces commit their lives around the world to defending our nation," said BLM Acting Director Mike Pool. "The BLM is proud to welcome them home, celebrate their service, and invite them to enjoy the most beautiful parts of this country they have so dutifully served."
Through direct programming, public education and advocacy, Sierra Club's Mission Outdoors program combats the growing divide between America and the outdoors by increasing opportunities for all to improve their overall well-being by exploring and enjoying the natural world. Over the last few years the Sierra Club has worked with over 50,000 service members, veterans, and family members from all over the country to help ease the stresses of service and coming home by helping them get outside.
More information on the contest, including how to enter and a complete set of rules, can be found at http://mypubliclands.challenge.gov.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

The Virgin and The Verteran Take off Together!31/03/2008
In the historic first ticketing partnership for Australia's newest International carrier V Australia Airlines, Northwest Airlines will join forces with V Australia to offer travellers convenient access to destinations across the United States of America and Canada.
The announcement to link flight networks follows hot on the heels of the confirmation that V Australia Airlines long haul trans-Pacific services will take off with flights from Sydney to Los Angeles on 15 December 2008.
The ticketing agreement with Northwest will take effect from day one of the launch of V Australia services and will offer travellers seamless flight connections to key cities via V Australia's launch destination of Los Angeles.
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "This is a tremendous agreement as it means that our V Australia Guests will have access to not just Los Angeles, but all across the US and Canada with a comprehensive route network and a reputable airline partner such as Northwest."
"It a nutshell, it means people can purchase a single ticket and then travel seamlessly with their luggage on V Australia from Sydney International Airport to any of Northwest's destinations in North America."
On arrival in Los Angeles, passengers transfer to Terminal 2 for their connecting Northwest flight.
The agreement has been officially signed and will go on sale in coming weeks, offering a range of benefits to travellers including single ticket purchase and full luggage through-check from point of departure to point of destination, covering Northwest's main hub airports of Detroit, Minneapolis and Memphis. Northwest Airlines is the world's fifth largest airline with approximately 1,500 daily departures.
Northwest Airlines Vice President of Alliances, Nat Pieper, said, "This is the first phase in our exciting new agreement with V Australia Airlines. We look forward to welcoming our new Australian partner to the US market later this year."
He continued, "We are pleased to be the first North American airline working with V Australia to offer convenient access to a wide range of destinations for customers visiting the United States and Canada, as well as easy connections via Los Angeles for American travellers keen to visit Australia."

Klopp rubbishes Chelsea links
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has rubbished speculation linking him with Chelsea.
- Related Content
Current Blues interim boss Rafa Benitez is not expected to land the role on a permanent basis and Klopp, who has guided Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles, is thought to be high on the wish-list of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
But Klopp, 45, told the Evening Standard: "I have a contract until 2016. I have said 20 times I'll definitely stay until 2016.
"Everybody thinks I say it but that if a club like Chelsea or Real Madrid come in for me, I will go. This is something I can't change but they will see.
"It is a really big honour for me, coming from a small village called Bretten in the Black Forest where 1,500 people live, that somebody thinks I can train Chelsea. It's not a normal story, it's a special story. But I don't think about it.
"I was the coach at Mainz before Dortmund for seven years. Each year I could have left for a Bundesliga club but I said 'no, I have a contract, I will stay'. I enjoy what I'm doing here at Dortmund. It's a great club, a great city, everything is okay."

The Emery County Travel Bureau met to discuss travel and tourism in Emery County. The goal of the travel bureau is to increase visitors to Emery County, thereby increasing revenue for local business and tax dollars for the county including the transient room tax and the restaurant tax.
Mike McCandless is the chairman for the travel bureau. Tina Carter is on staff. Carter gave the financial report. She said the transient room tax is looking good as well as the restaurant tax, the tax is expected to have raised $30,000 by years end. The budget has increased a little due to funds for the Buckhorn Information Center and the Horse Canyon information center.
The Emery County travel guide is being reprinted for use in upcoming trade and travel shows. These brochures have been placed at the Ty Fork rest area on SR-6 and they can't keep them in stock there, people are picking them up for travel information. The bureau will look at a cheaper method of advertising San Rafael Country as the travel guides are quite expensive. Visitors also want more maps which show specific areas.
Chanel Atwood from CRIK reported to the travel board on travel in the area. She appreciated the support of the Emery County travel bureau. The CRIK information center is located in the lobby of the College of Eastern Utah museum. She said there aren't as many people asking for ATV maps, she thinks these are repeat visitors who are getting to know the areas where they can ride and those off limits. She said hikers are asking for more information and maps on forest trails. The Dinosaur Diamond is still popular and she sends many visitors to the Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry. Another popular spot is Crystal Geyser down by Green River. The mineral formations there are quite interesting and the geyser erupts twice a day.
McCandless said there might be plans to clean out the geyser and increase the eruptions. There has been so much garbage thrown into it over the years it is plugged. Atwood also needs a history of the Green River Missile Base as some of the visitors are interested in learning more about it. She also needs event information for next year's events so a calendar of events can be prepared. She is working with Tina on the information center projects like Buckhorn. There have been a lot of the workers for the power plants into the museum asking about attractions in the area they can visit on their days off.
Motel rooms in Green River were booked for the Green River Goblin Valley Ultra Marathon. Two hundred runners came to the race. The course had to be altered a little due to rain storms, but it was a nice cool day for running and there were enough volunteer helpers and the entire race turned out good.
Shannon Hiatt came before the board with a funding request for a new golf tournament at Millsite Golf Course. The golf course will expand to 18 holes in the 2011 golf season. Hiatt said in order for the course to be profitable, there needs to be a lot of out-of-town visitors in to use the course. With 18 holes many new people can be attracted to golf the course. Hiatt would like to hold a two day golf tournament at the course the last weekend in June 2011. The information promoting the course as an 18 hole course can help get people here for the tournament as well as practice before the tournament. He wants to advertise in the Utah Golf Association magazine as well as put flyers at golf courses around the state. You will need a handicap to play in the golf tournament.
Another aspect of the new nine will be the development of a traveling golf team that will go to Richfield, Palisades, Price and Delta and other courses to play and their traveling teams will visit Millsite to play.
When the players come to the Millsite tournament they will each be given a welcome gift full of promotional material from Emery County and gifts.
McCandless said the idea sounds great and travel bureau funds can only be used for advertising and promotion. He suggested Hiatt look for corporate sponsors as well. McCandless said the travel bureau is very committed to the golf course. Funds from the transient room tax are being used to pay the debt for Ferron City for the golf course expansion.
The travel bureau is working with San Juan county on learning to attract out of the country visitors to the area. These visitors look for group packages. The travel bureau is working to put travel packages together.
The travel bureau is advertising on Delta Airlines and many of the flights hit overseas travelers. It will be a five minute spot and will reach 2 million passengers traveling on Delta.
The trails committee is working on routes and signs. Keith Brady, Green River representative to the board said they are working on a path from Green River to the Crystal geyser. The trail to the geyser would be open to motorized and non-motorized travel.
McCandless has been nominated to the State Park trails board and if he is appointed it will be a benefit to our area in obtaining projects. Currently SITLA is easy to work with on obtaining trail rights of way and this might change as they are making rule changes. Trail right of ways in the past have been obtained for the Poker Ride trail and the trail connecting Castle Dale and Huntington along the foot hills.
Security cameras will be installed at the new Buckhorn Information Center, the restrooms were only in a few days when they were shot. Signs will be placed at the center and someone will be there on high use weekends to hand out information and maps. Histories of the area will also be placed on the signs.
Work is also ongoing at the Horse Canyon rest area. The parking lot has been black topped and curb and gutter installed along with a restroom. The site will expand further in the future to include interpretive signs and maybe a small visitors center.
The film industry is beginning to notice Emery County and the show Mantracker from Canada shot two episodes in the county recently. A reality show is planning to come in the spring. McCandless met with the producers on a major motion picture to be shot next year in the Goblin Valley area and he hopes to convince producers to base the production out of Green River.
The TJ Maxx and Marshall ads are out in their stores now, these were shot in Emery County earlier in the season. This production rented rooms in Green River and ate in the Green River restaurants while they were here.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks reported the bill to kill the restaurant tax will be submitted again this year. He urged everyone to work against the removal of the restaurant tax. A number of counties rely on this tax to meet their debt obligation. Carbon County uses the tax for improvements at their fairgrounds. Everyone needs to be educated on the importance of this tax that's paid by the consumer and not the business owner.
Travel shows the travel bureau will attend include: Denver, Colo. in January; Quartzite, Ariz. in January; Salt Lake in February; Phoenix, Ariz. in February and Salt Lake in March.
The premier of 127 hours will be on Nov. 6 in Salt Lake. This movie was filmed in part in Emery County and tells the story of Aron Ralston the hiker who became stuck in a remote slot canyon and was pinned by a boulder forcing him to cut his own arm off to survive. Danny Boyle was the director for the film. McCandless said he has tickets for the premier if anyone was interested. The new brochures for ATV travel just came out reported Mark H. Williams.

I'm glad Ichigo is currently stuck in the garganta, regardless of the fact that he's the main character and that he has to interfere with the Quincy invasion of Soul Society sooner or later. I say make it later! And this is why.
Soul Society has not faced a serious threat, Ichigo's invation to rescue Rukia was a joke. Ichigo and company would have been squashed by the power of the Gotei 13 if it wasn't for Aizen's revelation of his villainy. However, at least it created a commotion serious enough to motivate five out of the thirteen captains to release their bankai, ie. Byakuga, Dog-Guy, Toshiro, Tousen, and the mad scientist guy.
Aizen's war on Soul Society was, at least, much more serious. Though his Espada aka Vaste Lords made Arrancar was another joke. I'm assuming Ulq, Halibel, Barrangar, Starrk, and Yammy were Vaste Lords, and yet they were all defeated rather easily, excluding Ulq, it took serious power to take him down. Which is why I theorize Ulq2 is the only Vaste Lord Arrancar who truly ativated his true power through the Second Release, which i believe essentially represents the activation of Bankai for Shinigami. The Vaste Lord, which already has more power than a Captain as a hollow, gains even more power through becoming an Arrancar, and by default, becomes more like a Shingami. Like the gaining of a Zankeputo, for example. But what else to Shinigami have access to? They have two releases, their initial release known as Shikai, which would represent Ulq's first release, as well as the releases of all other Arrancar we have seen. But what is their "bankai" release? I believe all Arraqncar, who become skillful enough, as is the case with shinigami, can eventually releast their second release and TRUE power. A power which would eradicate a shinigami, since after all, a Vaste Lord who has gained Shinigami power by becoming an Arrancar should have superior power. And we didn't see that from, Halibel, Barrangan, or Starrk. But I have digressed.
At we saw the bankai of Soifon and gin but no one else!
This Quincy and final arc is the perfect opportunity, and the Quincy is a beautiful choice as an opponent. They're the true opposite of the Shinigami, one is alive and human, one is dead and spirit. Even hollows are more alike to shinigami than Quincy, which is why the barrier separating Shinigami and Hollow powers is breakable. The quincy have gained the power to defeat hollows, it only makes sense that, by default, they too gained the power to defeat shinigami. And just like there are fodder hollows and elite hollows(Vaste Lords), fodder shinigami, and elite shinigami(Captains), it only makes sense that there are fodder Quincy, and elite Quincy that can be a dangerous threat to both Vaste Lords, and Captains. Another evidence that Quincy were a serious threat to Shinigasmi is that it's been revealed that there has been multiple wars between the quincy and Shinigami before the final genocide.
What I want fro the Quincy invasion is carnage to Soul Society! Not total domination, but for it to be established that the Quincy are a real threat. I loved the abilities that the Quincy possess! I loved how Byakuga was owned! And this is why.. Though as cool and talented as he is, he's only been a captain for less than a 100 years. Which is why Kenpachi needs to be owned as well. It's time for all the baby captains like Toshiro, Byakuga, Kenpachi, Mad-Scientist-Guy, Soi-Fon, etc need to be defeated! So that the original and elder Captains like Old-Man Commando, Shisui, Uti, and Unohana can stand up and show why the Gotei 13 is not to be underestimated! I want this to be a fierce, bloody, and personal war, that is prolonged before an outsider like Ichigo & company step in and mess up all the fun lol. I want unknown Bankai's revealed!!!! And, also, so that the Quincy threat become serious enough that, the ROYAL GUARD gets involved!!! And that will never happen until the Quincy keep owning the Gotei 13 how they are.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
... 3 episodes after all these frikking months? seriously? wth...
good episodes, and hopefully megan didn't fuck it up too badly, but at this pace we won't reach season 3 by 2015 -.-
Although I suppose this could be done so they have something to go against the onslaught of avenger related shows disney will have coming out.
As For the episode itself, it's situations like this that you need Batman. black Beetle made them seem like jokes, but Batman powerless, human woulda walked in there founda weakness and did what needed to be done. Can't believe kid Flash just revealed why he was here so easily? WTH? But also judging from the BB's body in the future, can't get why KF can't get that maybe in that unaltered future they had actually killed Jamie and was able to reprogram the scarab. Though seeing how they were in the middle of reprogramming, killing Jamie, and him giving the scarab control, more than likely this will come up again at least 2 more times, as in BB turning semi- bad somehow, or the team just not trusting him anyway.
There are more things in heaven and earth then is dreamt of in your philosophy
Anybody still excited about this show? Last week's episode was alright, but clearly filler for bigger and better things. Today's should be pretty good though since Tim's finally going to have the spotlight and it's also supposed to be Deathstroke's debut.
I'd also highly recommend Green Lantern the Animated series which comes on right before since it's awesome. A really good way to get introduced to the GLA universe for those who don't know anything about it.
Also, I just love those Amethyst shorts, the art style is great and her voice actress nails the teen girl suffering from Dorothy syndrome quite nicely. 2nd short comes out today.
Great episode today, btw guys keep in mind that this season was not supposed to have breaks in it so these episodes might not have a good flow to them because cartoon network fucked it up. (shocker) great episode today!
Disappointing intro to Static Shock's origin. Just made him a bit more common then even the 'Big Bang' did.
+ was it just me that was truly disappointed by DeathStroke in both episodes recently??!!
Even if this is supposed to be a younger newer just starting out DS, ( which I don't like either, especially if in a season or 2 we see some of his kids, or 'apprentices' showing up, makes it somewhat illogical for a hitman, but w. e.), to have SportsMaster (I.M.H.O.) kind of make DS look like a rookie, was just basically bad characterization to me.
Good to see some bad guys showing some feelings although odd they were basically refined to these 2 back to back episodes. (Although that means Black Manta's gonna be crazy pissed if and when Aqualad gets revealed. Say 'if' because some of the light might already know, and, or if AL's mind restructuring brings about a change.)
Any1 else get the feeling the Green Beetle's some type of 'plant' as well?
There are more things in heaven and earth then is dreamt of in your philosophy
Sucks that it will end soon... still, when Sportsmaster called Deathstroke, Slade, I just paused and had to rewound to make sure I didn't mishear. Man, they cancel it, when Red X was semi-confirmed . Unless he was called Slade in other works than Teen Titans (IIRC they rarely called him Slade when he was using his alias Deathstroke).

In Expat-Heavy Shanghai, Rewiring the Jewish Community
It's a simple but powerful question: Why not — or, in the Hebrew, "Lama Lo?"
It's a simple but powerful question: Why not — or, in the Hebrew, "Lama Lo?"
Stacy Palestrant is originally from Phoenix, Arizona where she grew up affiliated with the Jewish Conservative movement. But for the past four and a half years she and her family have lived in Beijing, China, where they are equally involved in both the local Chabad and the "unaffiliated" community, Kehilat Beijing. Her daughters, ages 5 and 3, speak fluent Chinese, Hebrew, and English; and she believes that just as being proficient in multiple languages helps people traveling from one country to the next, fluency in diverse forms of Jewish expression holds advantages for Jews traversing different communities.

Skip to comments.After today (10/29)...Now I'm calling it for Bush 350 to 188!
Posted on 10/29/2004 11:37:27 PM PDT by Jeff Head
After the revelations of today, 10/29/04, where a US Army Major revealed that his unit had destroyed 250 tons of munitions at the Al QaQua facility, and after the latest Osama bin Laden video...I am revising my election prediction upward for Bush. I honestly believe that many more Americans will vote for Bush after Bin Laden spouted the Kerry/DNC/Michael Moore talking points, and after Kerry's knee jerk reation regarding the munitions have been wholly discredited.
FYI...my thoughts after today.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. What a mandate that would be.
Works for me. Thanks.
Hope you are right.
I am with you guys on that one!
I'd like to see them try to steal that
You saving Michigan for later?
Make it 367, Michigan is ours
I hope, pray and work for it to become reality.
jeff, bro..your colors are backwards !!....you scared the heck out
of my dog....he is still runnin around barking.
I hope you're right but, I don't think either candidate will break 300.
"What a mandate that would be"
Can we get a media definition of "landslide" before Nov 2nd?
I'd like to have them on record before they start spinning...
My range in EVs has consistently been Bush with about 325 EVs, give or take a 25. Over the course of the week, I was leaning towards the lower number - a nice win with about 300 EVs.
Today I feel a bit better about it but not as ambitious as you are - I just reran the numbers based on polls and 'gut' and I have Bush winning 310 to Kerry's 228.
Lets just win this thing comfortably!
I'd love to see closer to 400.
Michigan and Oregon need to be added to this map.
Exactly...that is the type of thing that is needed...and today, along with a lot of hard work, faith and prayers...may have delivered it.
Plus the marraige ammendment is on the ballot in Michigan.
trust is a must.....wait til Sunday...D.C. - during/after the Marine Corps Marathon....Bush at LEAST 367
Alaska is alreay on there. Michigan and Oregon are very possible. Putting it over 370 for Bush.
Thanks to Bin Laden...He helped America frame the election once again...The MSM had spun us away from reality over the last six months.....
Jeff, what data are you relying on to make these calls?
To me, it looks like Bush is not doing as well as your mapsuggests.
We shall see. No one thought Reagan would get the landslides he did...yhis is nothing compared to that. But I believe it is doable.
True Blue for the GOP...Red for the Democrats. Red for them is much more appropriate IMHO.
Hey, I like this scenario.
I'd color MI for Bush. You should see the crowds there. And the President will be hitting the state again in the few days remaining. And what's really stupid is ACT pulled out of the Wolverine State thinking it was locked up for Kerry. A colossal error of judgment that will cost them dearly next Tuesday. Oh and I think we still have an outside shot of carrying Oregon, breaking the Democratic stranglehold on the Left Coast.
Not real scientific...but I believe most polling data up until Nov 2nd is not all that accurate either.
Shucks, you must like the color blue.
Works for me. I don't think that this one will be as close as is predicted.
Bush in a landslide.
blessings, bobo
It sure makes a pretty picture though!
I agree that both Michigan and oregon are very possible...particularly after today.
delaware for Bush ??...what are the latest numbers there ?
would that frost Biden or what ???...LMNO
We both hope!
i totally agree.....just got used to seeing it the other way
on all the other maps...yours is much better.
when the libs in Cali see Pa and NJ AND MI fall, they will go surfing and so go ahead and add 72 to that total.
Woohoo! Hopeit happens just that way.
It's New Jersey, not Delaware, I think.
In any case I was looking at Jeff's map, and the only differences between my 310 and his 350 are his inclusions for Bush wins in NJ, PA, and Hawaii (40 EVs).
In any case, I don't see Bush winning all three (and in fact, my gut says that if he wins only one, it will be PA). Honestly, I don't see him willing any of those three.
Bush is still good for 310 EVs and the championship. :-)
I totally agree with NJ going blue. After the tapes, it will be interesting how NY comes out vs the polls.
350 might be pushing it, but I would be cheering if it did happen. I hope that 300 EV's is theft-proof.
Along with one electoral vote from Maine... that should make it 369. Although Bush can lose a couple of states and win in a squeaker I want to see Kerry crushed and to hear the lamentations of his women.
Hope...pray...and a lot of hard work!
Look what a dem site did.
I beat you to it... even before the Bin Laden tape. ;)
We can't...and wont...hold you to that name change, LOL. But I do not believe it will be an issue.

A dust-covered banner urged the election as president of alfred e. smith.
Old English smið "blacksmith, armorer, one who works in metal" (jewelers as well as blacksmiths), more broadly, "handicraftsman, practitioner of skilled manual arts" (also including carpenters), from Proto-Germanic *smithaz "skilled worker" (cf. Old Saxon smith, Old Norse smiðr, Danish smed, Old Frisian smith, Old High German smid, German Schmied, Gothic -smiþa, in aiza-smiþa "coppersmith"), from PIE root *smi- "to cut, work with a sharp instrument" (cf. Greek smile "knife, chisel"). Attested as a surname since at least c.975.
Old English smiðian "to forge, fabricate, design," from the source of smith (n.). Related: Smithed; smithing.
Smith (smĭth), Hamilton Othanel. Born 1931.
American microbiologist. He shared a 1978 Nobel Prize for the discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to molecular genetics.
American microbiologist who isolated bacterial enzymes that could split genetic DNA into fragments large enough to retain genetic information but small enough to permit chemical analysis. The existence of these compounds (called restriction enzymes) was earlier predicted by Werner Arber, and their discovery revolutionized genetic engineering. For this work Smith shared the 1978 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine with Arber and Daniel Nathans.
The Hebrews were not permitted by the Philistines in the days of Samuel to have a smith amongst them, lest they should make them swords and spears (1 Sam. 13:19). Thus the Philistines sought to make their conquest permanent (comp. 2 Kings 24:16).

Bone Health & Calcium: Plant vs. Rock?
The most common form of calcium supplement today is derived from limestone (rock). Jagged, isolated, and with limited surface area, it can be difficult for the stomach to digest. It is also devoid of other key bone-nourishing nutrients.
The Whole-Food Difference
Bone Strength Take Care is different. Plant-sourced, it delivers whole-food calcium, magnesium and 72 other trace minerals in a natural honey-comb structure with an open surface area that is easy to digest and utilize.
Sustainably Sourced
The calcium complex in Bone Strength Take Care is derived from a natural plant form called Lithothamnion, sustainably harvested from pristine shores along the Icelandic coastline.
Whole-Food Calcium - While most calcium supplements are derived from rocks, plant-sourced Bone Strength Take Care Tiny Tabs deliver bone-strengthening calcium your body recognizes as food.
Bone-Health Complex - Provides key nutrients—including Whole-Food complexed Vitamin D3— that helps the body effectively utilize calcium, promote bone creation and foster optimal bone health.
Bones Not Arteries - Formulated with TargetCal, featuring Natural Vitamin K2, which directs calcium to the bones where you need it, and keeps it out of the arteries where you don't.
Promotes Joint Health - Our whole-food calcium, magnesium and 72 trace mineral complex has also been shown to promote joint health, flexibility and movement.
Easy to Digest Tiny Tabs - Delivered in an easy-to-swallow tiny tablet, and as whole food, it's easy to digest.
Suggested Use
Take six tablets daily in the middle of a larger meal. For best results, take two tablets with lunch and four tablets with dinner.

America-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture (and Ushered In the Obamacrats)by David Gelernter
In this refreshingly judgmental book, David Gelernter
America-Lite (where we all live) is just like America, only turned into an amusement park or a video game or a supersized Pinkberry, where the past and future are blank and there is only a big NOW. How did we come to expect no virtue and so much cynicism from our culture, our leaders—and each other?
In this refreshingly judgmental book, David Gelernter connects the historical dots to reveal a stealth revolution carried out by post-religious globalist intellectuals who, by and large, "can't run their own universities or scholarly fields, but are very sure they can run you." These imperial academics have deployed their students into the top echelon of professions once monopolized by staid and steady WASPs. In this simple way, they have installed themselves as the new designated drivers of American culture.
Imperial academics live in a world of theory; they preach disdain for mere facts and for old-fashioned fact-based judgments like true or false. Schoolchildren are routinely taught theories about history instead of actual history—they learn, for example, that all nations are equally nice except for America, which is nearly always nasty.
With academic experts to do our thinking for us, we've politely shut up and let second-raters take the wheel. In fact, we have handed the keys to the star pupil and teacher's pet of the post-religious globalist intellectuals, whose election to the presidency of the United States constituted the ultimate global group hug.
How do we finally face the truth and get back into the driver's seat? America-Lite ends with a one-point plan.

Kevin Peters, president for North America at Office Depot Inc., has left to become CEO at an industrial distribution company, effective immediately, the retailer announced today. Chairman and CEO Neil Austrian will oversee Office Depot's North American business, it says.

The Scarlets had to hold on at the end but deservedly emerged with an 18-13 win away from home against a dogged Glasgow outfit.
The Scarlets had to hold on at the end but deservedly emerged with an 18-13 win away from home against a dogged Glasgow outfit.
Ruaridh Jackson slotted over a comfortable penalty to edge the home side in front early on but it was the Scarlets who produced the first real moment of quality to register the first try at Scotstoun Stadium.
Some fantastic offloading in close quarters by Matthew Rees and Andy Fenby created the opportunity for George North to stretch his legs down the left-hand touchline and he found Aaron Shingler on his inside to score in the corner.
Shingler went from hero to villain moments later as he was sinbinned for a high tackle but Glasgow were unable to capitalise on their one-man advantage and, once they were restored to their full complement, the visitors extended their lead before the break.
Jonathan Davies hacked a loose ball downfield after a handling error in the Glasgow backline and Fenby latched onto it to touch down in the left-hand corner.
Rhys Priestland failed with the conversion though and Jackson kicked a late three points to close the gap to just 10-6 at the interval.
The Scarlets were the better side for the most part though and a Priestland penalty extended the lead early in the second half before a good miss pass from Scott Williams enabled North to cross in the left-hand corner.
Chris Cusiter did give Glasgow some hope with a try under the posts with just a few minutes remaining after a great break and offload from Alex Dunbar but they had to settle for a losing bonus point as the Scarlets held on to record their second consecutive win.
