This question gained a great deal of attention when Mitt Romney was running for president of the United States in 2008. At the same time, Christians of many faiths began to realize they couldn't figure out where Satan came from.
The apostle John said, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (John 3, KJV Bible) This verse, of course, refers to God. This means Satan was created by God, as was every other being ever created. There is, according to John, no other way anyone or anything can exist.
God created both Satan and Jesus, and in that respect, they are brothers. But in that respect, every person who ever lived is a brother or sister to every other person, because we are all children of God. If we are all God's children, then we are siblings to every child of God. It no more demeans Jesus to be Satan's spirit brother than it does for any of us to be related to evil people who have lived on the earth.
To fully understand this, there are several points that must be considered. First, who is Satan? How did he become who he is today?The Bible tells us only a little about his history.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
(Isaiah 14:12, KJV Bible)
From Isaiah, in the Bible, we learn Satan once lived in Heaven, but fell. Mormon beliefs include further information on this subject.
Before we were born, we all lived in Heaven with God, who was the creator of our spirits. Although we didn't yet have bodies, we did have our own personalities. We learned, developed talents and interests, and started becoming the person we are. We had agency-the right to choose. Some of us chose well, and others didn't, just as we do today.
When we reached the limits of our ability to progress there, God planned for the earth to be created, and for us to live away from him for a time. Now we'd gain a body, families, and the chance to find out if we
could live God's teachings when He wasn't right there with us. The plan, which He presented to us, explained we'd make mistakes, so He would send us a Redeemer, who would voluntarily give up His own sinless life to atone for our sins. Jesus Christ offered to be that Redeemer. He was God's oldest Son, the first spirit created, and so, our oldest brother. We'd be free to make choices, but were expected to find and live the truth. Jesus would "make up the difference," meaning He would do what we couldn't do for ourselves, after we'd done all we could. He would atone for our sins, something impossible for those who sin to do alone.
Satan disliked this plan. He tried to convince us to change it. He suggested we'd come to earth, give up our right to agency, and let him control our every action and thought, so we couldn't possibly sin. In return, however, he wanted to be exalted above God, as Isaiah said. Jesus, on the other hand, wanted God to have all the glory. This would make life on earth meaningless as a place of learning.
Each of us was allowed to choose whether or not to accept God's plan. Satan was cast out of Heaven, which is what Isaiah meant when he said Lucifer fell from heaven, and why Satan is known as a fallen angel. Those who rejected God's plan were also cast out and had to follow Satan for eternity.
Some have felt God couldn't have created Satan, because Satan is evil. However, God didn't create an evil being. Satan, like all other wicked people, made his own choices. God created each of us with a spark of divinity within, which we could accept and grow, or reject. We can't blame God if we choose to ignore the great gifts He's offered us and choose instead to live a selfish, greedy life. In the end, this is what was behind Satan's fall. He could have been a good and even great spiritual leader had he made wise choices in his pre-mortal life, using his talents and ability to influence others for good. He didn't choose to develop into that kind of being. He wanted all the glory and honor for himself, to be exalted above God. Having been refused this opportunity, he is now trying to increase his following, not because he loves us, as do God and Jesus, but because he is greedy and wants power and glory. Unfortunately, today, even some of those who rejected him are choosing to follow him now. They too were given a spark of divinity at creation, but are choosing to become wicked.
You can see from the few scriptural references we have God must have created Satan, or John was wrong-and John taught truth, so he was not wrong. We can see from Isaiah Satan once lived in Heaven. These two facts make it clear Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers, in that God created both their spirits, and we too are spirit brothers and sisters with them for the same reason. It's important, as we progress in our mortal lives, to choose to follow our oldest brother, Jesus, and not Satan. Like Jesus and Satan, we can each become who God chose for us to become, or we can honor Satan and destroy our great God-given gifts.

Isaiah 14:12-14 says that Satan fell from Heaven because he wanted to be like God. He tempted Adam and Eve with the same thought, that they would be like God after eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
But God says in the Bible many times that He's the only God and apart from Him there is no other. (http://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-oneness-unity-one-god.htm).
So I wonder why anyone would want to think that by their own good deeds and self-righteousness they can become a God too? Isn't that following what Satan did?

I think there is an error (or I miss the point) in the second to the last sentence of the second to last paragraph:
I suspect that, "not because he loves us, as do God and Satan, but because he is greedy and wants power and glory."
should read, "not because he loves us, as do God and Jesus, but because he is greedy and wants power and glory."

It's not Mormon doctrine to believe that we can become a god just by our own good deeds and self-righteousness. And Satan's plan was to force everyone to keep the commandments, save everyone, and take the glory for himself. It is God's desire that we grow to become like Him. As we do that on earth, we can continue to grow more and more like Him in heaven. It could take millions of years (after all, we have an eternity) to approach anything near what He is, but the door is open to us. As it says in the Bible, we can be co-heirs with Christ. Isn't an eternity of progress more appealing than dying and then spending millions of years singing praises?

For those of you who do not believe Satan was a spirit child of God (the Eternal Father), then from whence did he come? He would have to be a spirit child of God, otherwise he would have had to self-create, was nothing and decided to take his nothingness and become something.

I have to respectfully disagree. As Christians, we believe that Jesus is the Son of God AND GOD THE SON, so Jesus is not a created being. We agree that Satan was created by God. Therefore, it is error to say that Jesus is Satan's brother. John 1 states that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was God and the Word was with God. Then it says, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.." Again, the WORD was God (Jesus – God the Son). The WORD was with God (Jesus – Son of God). The Word = Jesus Christ.

I just found this thread. I hope it is still open.
I have an honest question/comment.
I guess, it is on the nature of God. It seems the LDS Church has a fundamental difference or view of the Godhead. That is why (I believe) it is often classified as a different religion, even though it uses the same Bible.
1 Timothy 1:17 says : " Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
Paul is speaking about Jesus. At the same time he is equating Him with God (The Heavenly Father)…eternally.
2 Corinthians 3: 17 says : " Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
Again, like with Jesus…this is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is EQUATED with God the Father (Heavenly Father).
This a sampling of where the idea of the Trinity comes from.
The Trinity is very much like the US Government. It has three individual branches, but is still one body. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. President, Congress, Supreme Court. I know, that may be crude…but it is the best I can come up with.
Anyway, if God is eternal according to these scriptures, and Jesus is God…how can He be brothers with a created being, a lesser being at that, like an angel? After all, He had command over them.
I mean no disrespect.

I am not LDS, I love your lifestyles, your Temple Square, your methods, but your mentality toward faith, toward the scriptures, and toward the church itself alarm many of us on the outside. But to this point specifically, You are saying that Satan was created, and I don't think anyone in Christendom disagrees as we believe he was an Angel and God created Angels. Angels are a different class of being, not the same as a God or even in LIKENESS of God. There are 4 classifications of Angelic beings in the Bible, Cherubim, Seraphim, Nephalim, and Archangels. Satan was one of these and the greatest of them. To make Jesus his Brother would mean he would be of the same making. Just because God created things doesn't make us brothers and sisters. As I am not a brother of my dog or cat. They are separate beings. Jesus (if you believe in a Holy Trinity), existed as God has, as one being. Not separate. Genesis 1:26 says that God made man in "Our" image. Not in "His" image. God and Satan are not Brothers, nor is God the "Grandfather of all lies". I would accept a statement such as God is the Potter and Satan is the clay, just as we all are and we all have been molded for a purpose. Have a great day! And keep up the great work!

I have a really hard time synchronizing the bible to this belief, in fact, many verses seem to claim the opposite, but I have some questions. If we exist in a pre-mortal state just as Christ did, and you say that Satan rebelled and took his followers with him, does that mean that all people on earth are the "good spirits"? If so, why do people reject Christ? Are angels simply the pre-mortal forms of future humans? Are demons the ones who helped Satan rebel? And while the LDS are claiming that we existed in this perfect form before, and then presumably the pre-mortals who didn't rebel came to earth and thus were good, Psalms 51:5 declares that at the very least David was "born into iniquity", which is not saying he was illegitimate. So I'm mostly confused on this whole pre-mortal form and how it relates to angels and demons. But beyond that, as previously mentioned John 1 equates Jesus to God. Additionally, The entire first chapter of Hebrews is making the distriction that Jesus is not a mere angel, but is actually greater than the angels as he is God. This means that not only was the identity of Jesus involved in creating Satan, they are not brothers in any sense, fellow created beings or otherwise. The biggest issue I come across is that is seems to be insinuating that any death would have been sufficient payment for justification before God, if indeed we are all like Jesus in that we have pre-mortal forms. Both Romans and Hebrews are clear that salvation was attained through Christ because He was fully God (and thus have the authority to forgive sins- mark 2:7-12) and fully man (Romans 8:3-5). Additionally, Satan's beef with God in addition to wanting to be God himself, was that he wished to be the sacrifice, however Ejsus volunteered and was selected instead. However, Hebrews 5:4 says that Jesus is our high priest and that no one can just volunteer for the position (paraphrased of course). I fail to see how these conflicting ideologies can be harmonious.

These are actually excellent, thoughtful questions. Thank you for posing them so decently. Taking them in order (and some may overlap), here is a brief response. (I'd be happy to SKYPE and/or talk by phone if you like, or to have representatives come to you and answer these and further questions–whatever works best for you.)
1)Yes, Satan rebelled and took with him 1/3 of the hosts of heaven as stated in the Book of Revelation. Those spirits are fallen angels, or devils, or demons. It was by their own choice and rebellion that they fell, and as a result, they will never gain a mortal body, and thus have the experience of mortality. That's why they are jealous of our bodies and often seek to take possession of earthly bodies.
2) Yes, those who followed Christ and the Father's plan to have Christ atone for our sins, are those who are present in this, our second estate, mortality. Though obedient in the 'sight and presence' of God there remained an additional test to pass before entering into eternal life, or life in God and Jesus' presence, and that of loved ones. That test is mortality. While it was easier to be obedient with our Heavenly Parents present, and without having a physical body through which certain tests can only be experienced in full, this test is more difficult. Not all who were obedient in the first estate or pre-mortal sphere will be obedient here. With repentance, we can become clean through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
3) Yes, some angels are pre-mortal spirits waiting to take upon themselves bodies. There are others known as angels as well. I've done a video podcast on this subject that would answer these questions more completely: Angels Around Us
4) Jesus as God. This statement has been misconstrued since prior to the Nicene Creed. Jesus was advanced as a spirit Brother of ours. We were all created as spirit beings, literal spirit children of Heavenly Father and Mother. You, me, everyone here, and even Jesus Christ. We were born in a pre-mortal realm as spirits and could only progress so far there. Jesus had progressed further than any as spirit children and was the Firstborn. He was heir to all the Father had. For more specifics on the pre-mortal nature of Jesus prior to this life, see this article: http://rsc.byu.edu/archived/jesus-christ-son-god-savior/3-premortal-godhood-christ-restoration-perspective
Jesus was literally the Firstborn Son of God and is distinct from God, so saying he was God in pre-mortal life refers to His advanced state of being and intelligence and doesn't mean that He was literally the Father. The Father and the Son are distinct and separate.
5) Yes, Jesus was and is the Great High Priest, but He also did exercise His agency in volunteering to become the Son of God and atone for our sins. We had to exercise faith that He would actually carry that out in mortality. Because He was born of a mortal mother and Immortal Father, He alone had the power to lay down His life and literally take it up again. He was unique. He remained sinless. He completed the atonement. He is the Great High Priest who was the one who mediated for our sins, weaknesses, infirmities, as Hebrews and as Zachariah declare, and as the Book of Mormon witnesses.
Again, these are excellent questions. I would encourage you to also start from the beginning of the message of the Restoration and work into it as well as working this direction, from the questions you've formulated as you've read certain pieces about the doctrine. I witness that the Savior restored His full gospel and authority to the earth in our day, and it's a glorious message.
God bless you. I hope to hear from you again.

Jesus is God. Read John 1:14
John 8:23 Jesus said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 1:1 – "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:14 – "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 5:18 – "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God."
John 8:24 – "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins."
Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there.
John 8:58 – "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'"
Exodus 3:14 – "And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM'; and He said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
John 10:30-33 – "I and the Father are one." 31The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."
John 20:28 – "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
Col. 2:9 – "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form."
Phil. 2:5-8 – "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Heb. 1:8 – "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom."
Quoted from Psalm 45:6, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Thy kingdom."
Update : Isaiah 44:6 – "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me."
Rev. 1:17 – "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades."
He is not our brother, or a created being. He was with the Father from the beginning.
When Jesus died on the Cross he cried "It is Finished".
There was nothing to restore. Jesus did it all.

My dear brother and friend,
From the long list of scriptural references that you have cited, it appears to me that you are not so much trying to disapprove that Christ and Satan are brothers, as much as you are presenting a case that Jesus Christ is the Son of the True and the Living God which is indeed a firm belief of the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. All of the scriptures that you have cited present solid proof of that point. Therefore, I am a bit confused by the real point of your discussion. Perhaps, I need a little more clarification on your statement, "He is not our brother, or a created being. He was with the Father from the beginning."
Satan certainly was a created being as attested to in the Bible. We learn from scriptures that Satan and one third of the host of Heaven rebelled and were cast out. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, through modern revelation, we know that there was a grand council in Heaven, and both Jesus Christ and Satan were present at that council. In the course of that council, the Father presented the plan of salvation and asked whom He should send to carry out that plan. Lucifer or Satan replied that he would go, however, it was his purpose to bring glory unto himself. Jesus Christ responded that He would go, and His purpose was to bring glory to the Father. The Father chose Jesus Christ to go and carry out the plan.
Furthermore, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ, we believe that when Christ cried "It is finished!" upon the cross at Calvary, the gulf that had existed between a loving Heavenly Father and His children because of their sin and rebellion was finally bridged allowing a way for each of us to return home to Him. We further believe, as you have stated that the atonement of Jesus Christ paid the price for the sins of all humanity – past, present, and future – once and for all.
Thank you for your comments. God bless.

It was a busy weekend for the Ottawa 67's. Not only did they wrap up their prospects camp at the University of Ottawa this past weekend, but they dealt center Nick Foglia to the Brampton Battalion in exchange for '92 born goaltender Keegan Wilson. General Manager Chris Byrne also acquired Kitcheners first pick in the upcoming Import Draft for Ottawa's 8th rounder in next year's Priority Selection.
The battle in net: Things are really starting to get interesting now as the team starts to get ready for September, especially in nets. At the moment the 67's have control of two overage goaltenders in Wilson and Shayne Campbell, plus Michael Nishi who played very well when given the opportunity last year. In 17 games after being acquired from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds mid-season Nishi posted a record of 9-6-1-1 with a GAA of 3.31 along with a .902 save percentage. As it looks right now Nishi and Wilson will probably split time in
nets for the 67's in the fall. As for Wilson he is a late bloomer. Last year at the age of 19 he was an OHL rookie and managed to go 12-9-3-3 while posting a 2.82 GAA and .892 save percentage. Just two years ago he was playing Jr. 'C' with the Stayner Siskins.
As for Campbell, he battled injuries all of last year and was only able to play in 1 game during the regular season. At this point it looks like he'll be the odd man out. Any team would be hard pressed to use two of their three overage spots in nets. They 67's also have '95 born Jacob Blair. He spent last season playing Jr. B with the Ottawa West Golden Knights and backed up Nishi over the Holidays last winter while Petr Mrazek was away at the World Juniors playing for the Czech Republic. As it stands right now, barring a trade it seems like he might be in the plans for 2013-14.
67's active with trades: Foglia established himself as a defensive center for the 67's last year, but they do appear to have a bit of a depth up the middle with Sean Monahan, Tyler Graovac and their most recent
first round pick, Dante Salituro. With the trade to Brampton it gives him an opportunity to get more ice-time and for Ottawa to fill that position with a younger player, possibly one that attended the prospects camp this past weekend.
It should come as no surprise that Ottawa acquired Kitchener's 1st round pick in the CHL Import Draft as they
might have two open spots on the roster next year for imports. Petr Mrazek and Michal Cajkovsky occupied those two spots last year. There is a chance Cajkovsky comes back as over ager next year, but it might really depend on how the rest of the summer plays out.
Ottawa might have made a couple of moves already, but the off-season might just be beginning.

A petition drive is underway.
The signers are hoping to force the DOT to re-design a deadly intersection in Wheatland. Three young people were killed at the cross-roads two weeks ago when they pulled in front of a truck at North Road and Highway 36.
The petition has 2,000 names so far. Meanwhile, state Senator Patrick Gallivan says he's working with a group to get accident statistics on the intersection and then try to come up with a plan to make it safer.

Defendants in alleged drug-debt killing take plea deals
Two men charged in connection with a fatal shooting in Orem took plea deals in the case Tuesday afternoon.
Mason Eric French and Travis Waldron, both 24, were both charged in November with first-degree felony murder, second-degree felony obstruction of justice and felony use of a firearm by a restricted person.
Police believe French was the triggerman in the Nov. 19 shooting that killed 42-year-old Rupert E. Miley — a case that initially appeared to be a fatal car crash.
On Tuesday, both French and Waldron took plea deals in the case, pleading guilty to second-degree felony manslaugh
ter, along with felony charges of use of a firearm by a restricted person and obstruction of justice.
Sentencing is set for April 21.
According to an amended information filed in 4th District Court on Tuesday, Waldron told police that French "accidently discharged" the gun after they met up with Miley to talk about a drug dispute.
At about 3 a.m., the three met in a grocery store parking lot near 800 N. 900 East in Orem to discuss the dispute. Waldron allegedly told police that he and French got into Miley's car and at one point he held the gun to Miley's head before passing the firearm to French in the backseat.
Soon after, a shot was fired, went through the driver's seat and struck Miley in the back. Waldron told police he jumped out of the car after the gun fired and fled the scene.
When police arrived, they first believed Miley died from injuries suffered in a car crash — an accident scene which extended several blocks as Miley tried to drive himself to a hospital after the shooting.
French was found lying on the roadway near the car accident, according to court records. He gave several conflicting statements about why we was in the area, including telling the police he was a pedestrian passing through, according to court records.
French was arrested at the scene, and Waldron was taken into police custody later that day. Both men are being held in the Utah County jail.

The Ohio Department Of Transportation (ODOT) has announced the completion of two area construction projects opening up portions of roadway that had been previously restricted.
One of the completed projects is a slip repair project on S.R. 139 in Portsmouth. Crews repaired a slip at the 1.20-mile marker, between Munn Street and T.R. 165 (Hinkley Hollow Road), just south of the corporation limit.
The contract for this project is valued at $646,000 and was awarded to Alan Stone Inc. who has corporate offices in Cutler, Ohio.
According to information about the project from ODOT, contractors will have minor finishing work to complete, with little to no impact on traffic patterns and all work should be completed by the end of June.
ODOT is also reporting that State Route 335 is back open after being closed for three days.
During that closure, ODOT crews replaced a deteriorated culvert between C.R. 246 (Stout Hollow Road) and C.R. 15 (Dixon Mill Road).
That project was completed Thursday with all lane restrictions lifted.
Other ongoing ODOT projects include crews from the Shelly Company resurfacing 8.3 miles of S.R. 522 beginning at its junction with U.S. Route 52 at Wheelersburg and continuing to the Lawrence County line. Crews will also be repairing six bridges, including the U.S. 52 overpass bridge at the S.R.522/Wheelersburg exit.
According to ODOT, construction is scheduled to begin Monday, June 24, on the overpass bridge. Traffic will be maintained in one, 12-foot lane with the use of temporary traffic signals. In the remainder of the construction zone, traffic will be maintained in one lane by flaggers when crews are at work. The Shelly Company, of Thornville, Ohio was awarded a contract in the amount of approximately $1.52 million to complete the project, and all work is anticipated to be completed by mid-fall.
Other projects include crews are installing headwalls, replacing culverts and repaving various Shawnee State Forest roads. Throughout construction traffic will be maintained with flaggers except for intermittent periods of short-term closure. All work is anticipated to be completed by late summer.
The project deemed the Spaghetti Bowl project on U.S. 52 is reduced to one, 11-foot lane in each direction between T.R. 569 (Old U.S. 52) near the S.R. 239 interchange and the Scioto River bridges at the Portsmouth corporation limit for a major rehabilitation project. The project work limits also include portions of S.R. 73, S.R. 239 and S.R. 852. Throughout construction, traffic will be maintained in one, 11-foot lane in each direction, and ramps will be reduced to 10-foot lanes. The project is anticipated to be completed in early fall 2014.
As part of the U.S. 52 resurfacing project, the exit ramp (Ramp F) from U.S. 52 East to S.R. 239 North is closed for bridge rehabilitation. Motorists will have access to S.R. 239 from the off ramp; however, there will be no access to U.S. 52 East from S.R. 239, so traffic will be detoured via S.R. 73/104. The closure is anticipated to be in effect through early July, and progression of this phase of the project will be contingent upon the weather.
S.R. 73 is reduced to one, 10-foot lane for a slip repair project and S.R. 140 is reduced to one, 10-foot lane between C.R. 51 (Great Meadow Road) and C.R. 17 (Frederick Road) at Scioto Furnace and between the intersecting points of C.R. 2 (Lick Run Lyra Road), east of South Webster for bridge repair.

Dragonfly Hot YogaRead MoreMegan Ryan Kaiser doesn't remember her first hot-yoga session as a transcendent, transformative moment. She recalls the feeling of intimidation that almost sent her packing. Over time, the class did enhance her life as she felt the benefits throughout her transition, but it might not have without the support of a welcoming community of students and instructors. She struggled to find such an affirming place to pose after moving to the Madison area from Los Angeles. Instead of continuing her search, she decided to build the community she sought by launching Dragonfly Hot Yoga. Students of all shapes, sizes, and skill levels flock to the studio's award-winning classes, which range from beginner-friendly Intro to Yoga sessions to Advanced Flow routines filled with challenging inversions and arm balances. Spacious classrooms let students move freely, and flooring specifically designed for hot-yoga classes repels sweat and odors. During most yoga classes, the room's temperature rises to 85–105 degrees, which promotes flexibility and toxin release. The instructors also lead traditional fitness classes, including a boot-camp-style workout filled with resistance training, calisthenics, and plyometrics. Before and after classes, students bond over tea and books in a lounge that's as cozy as a fireplace wearing a hand-knitted sweater. To help busy parents integrate yoga into their routine, the studio also offers childcare during many morning classes and private yoga sessions, which can be scheduled at a convenient time. Dragonfly Hot Yoga | Barre also offers non-heated yoga and barre-amped classes in their new Studio Mild space.610 Junction RdMadison, WI US
Dance FabulousRead MoreDance Fabulous's instructors think that dancing should be a stress-free experience. With that in mind, they've crafted a lineup of commitment-free drop-in classes that introduce students to hip-hop grooves, teach them core-strengthening belly-dance shimmies, and help party away calories with energy-packed Zumba moves. The lineup also includes more sensual classes meant to boost students' confidence, such as aerobic striptease dance and core-strengthening pole dance. During Hot Heels Hour classes, participants learn a new routine designed to be performed in pumps, which help strengthen cores, lift buns, and aerate the front lawn if practiced at home. In addition to their drop-in classes, the instructors also schedule private lessons, which may cover the styles taught in group classes or focus on ballroom techniques or wedding choreography. Their adult parties come with similar themes, with lessons in styles from break dancing to striptease to Irish step. The studio was also named one of The Daily Page's picks for best places for a kids' birthday party; soirees can center around such themes as cheerleading, West African dance, and ballet. The staff offers a kids' hip-hop classes and a once-a-month family dance party, during which parents can tenderly pass down their ability to do the worm.401 N Lake St.Madison, WI US

New Self Renewal CenterRead MoreRather than devote itself entirely to healthy movement or meditative rest, New Self Renewal Center represents both sides of the spectrum. On one side, its fitness area hosts small-group classes ranging from energized boot-camp and Zumba routines to KettleCore, whose strengthening swings were featured in Brava magazine. Students can even order classes from the fitness menu, scheduling sessions of athletic stretching or core work at times that work for them. Personal trainers and a certified wellness practitioner are also on hand to develop custom programs. Because the center's philosophy is one of balance, it counteracts the gym's kinetic offerings with a spa. There, massage therapists knead away aches, administering add-ons of aromatherapy and moisturizing shea butter, and nail technicians beautify fingertips with signature mani-pedis. The onsite café makes for another replenishing stop between workouts or paraffin dips—its menu includes sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and a variety of housemade items such as hummus and granola. As a complement to its wide spectrum of amenities and a symbol of its family focus, the center also provides childcare services. Youngsters can draw on the chalkboard wall of the Kid Corner while their parents exercise or relax. At lunchtime, the corner's designated snacking space enables adults to eat with their kids and explain that cutting off sandwich crusts doesn't actually hurt the sandwiches.6300 Enterprise LnMadison, WI US

The Video Guy
Started more than nine years ago at The Olympian, The Video Guy column is a weekly look at films from a "regular guy's" perspective. I have no formal training as a critic, other than I've seen a lot of movies and have a lot of opinions, but I'll do my best to give you an idea of what's out there and whether it's worth your time.

Quick take: Swelter
How in the world do you make an action movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme and not have him be the star? That's like making a sandwich without any bread. It's just wrong. SWELTER (R, 2 stars), a neo-noirish, pseudo-Western mystery, does a few things right, but its biggest crime is wasting the Muscles from Brussels […] [Read More]
The Expendables 2: Boom goes the dynamite
THE EXPENDABLES 2 (R, 3 stars) is the rare sequel that improves upon the (admittedly low) bar set by the original, a more fully realized piece of '80s throwback schlock that would make Golan-Globus proud. Of course, I'm somewhat biased, but the biggest improvement from the first film is the absolutely fantastic performance from Jean-Claude […] [Read More]
What's in a name?
When Jean-Claude Van Damme comes out with a new movie, it's a holiday at Video Guy HQ. Needless to say, I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of JCVD's latest, 6 BULLETS (R, 2 1/2 stars), a perfectly fine bit of B-level action that could have used more … JCVD. But after watching it, I'm still […] [Read More]

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool are considering a move for the veteran Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o as they look to increase Brendan Rodgers' forward options before the transfer deadline.
The 33-year-old is a free agent having been released by Chelsea at the end of last season and has held talks with Ajax over a move to Amsterdam.
Liverpool have not made an offer to the former Real Madrid, Barcelona and Internazionale goalscorer as yet, and are discussing several names, but Eto'o has emerged as a possible target.
The striker is believed to have earned £7m from his one-year deal at Stamford Bridge, an annual drop of £13m from his contract with Anzhi Makhachkala, but his wage demands are unlikely to deter Liverpool given the player's availability on a free transfer.
Liverpool inquired about Radamel Falcao at Monaco, but were informed he would only leave the principality for Real Madrid and for an exorbitant loan fee, and are approaching the new Premier League season with an attack comprising Daniel Sturridge, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini.

Every year it is apparently necessary to revile the Freshman class for not supporting its various teams. The communication printed in another column this morning shows that only about 50 Freshmen considered it worth their while to report for the first practice of the crew, a state of affairs which is particularly hard to understand after Harvard's success in rowing last year. Probably the best oarsmen in the class are among this number, but as it has so often been shown, good oarsmen can be developed from men of no experience. It is to be hoped that the size of the squad today will show that an abundance of important engagements was the cause of yesterday's pitiful showing.

Events provide exercise, support charitable causesWritten by Christine Senack | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Walk to Cure Diabetes recently took place at Ottawa Park to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). About 1,200 people gathered for the event. Through corporate sponsorship and walkers' donations, the walk event raised $230,000.
Scott Estes, CFO of Healthcare REIT, chaired corporate sponsorship for the event, raising more than $50,000. Fritz Rudolph chaired corporate teams with more than 50 teams participating. Amy Jones chaired family teams with more than 120 family teams participating. Estes, Rudolph and Jones each have a child with Type 1 diabetes. Major sponsors were Owens-Illinois and Healthcare REIT.
Proceeds of the event will support research to find a cure for diabetes and its complications. Although currently no research diabetes research is being funded in Northwest Ohio, JDRF funds 700 centers, grants and fellowships in 20 countries.
The 15th annual Golf for a Kid outing for the Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center was the largest and most profitable event yet. More than 135 golfers and guests gathered at Belmont Country Club to raise $62,000 for children and families struggling with abusive environments.
Universal Metals President Bill Feniger said it is the generosity of tournament sponsors that makes this event one of Toledo's "most charitable fundraisers." Event sponsors included Universal Metals, the Hylant Group and National City Bank. Feniger has been involved in child abuse awareness for more than 30 years, and his advocacy and commitment to raise funds stems from his desire to protect children and eliminate child abuse for kids who are not able to stand up for themselves. "Someone has to stand up for them," Feniger said.
The members and friends of the Toledo Red Cross's Club Red recently gathered for a special night of shopping and fun in downtown Sylvania to benefit the local chapter of the Red Cross. Club Red is a ladies-only organization to honor and harness the wide contribution of women to the Red Cross. Its goal is to find committed women in the community to support the Red Cross, not only financially, but with their time and talents.
The idea and work of the event was led by Pat Nowak of the Sylvania Area Chamber of Commerce. Nowak arranged the collaboration of the Sylvania businesses, which stayed open late for the event, and offered appetizers, specials and raffles for the Club Red shoppers. Executive Director Tim Yenrick, said he was appreciative of the effort of the chamber and the businesses, "We are very grateful to the chamber because this event raises funds and awareness of our services," he said. "We all benefit whenever we can raise awareness."

INDIANAPOLIS -- Proving no good deed goes unrewarded, an emotional Tony Kanaan was paid back in full by a young fan and an old friend whose talismans helped power the Brazilian to his first Indianapolis 500 victory on Sunday.
One of the most popular drivers in IndyCar Series, Kanaan's win was greeted with thundering approval across the sprawling speedway as a crowd estimated at close to 250,000 watched the 38-year-old cruise to the checkered flag under caution.
But it is likely no one was more excited than a long time fan and former IndyCar champion Alex Zanardi, who both turned over good luck charms to Kanaan with the hope it would bring him the one victory that had always been just beyond his reach.
On Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Lady Luck finally smiled on Kanaan as he won the crown jewel of North American motor racing on his 12th attempt, tying a record for the most tries before earning an Indy 500 victory.
"I never had doubt I could win this thing," Kanaan told reporters. "I think we can prove that theory that says that nice guys don't win ... I guess we proved them wrong."
A former IndyCar champion, Kanaan had led 221 laps at the famed Brickyard coming into Sunday's race, more than any other non-winner besides Michael Andretti and Rex Mays.
Kanaan had known nothing but bad luck and heartache on the 2.5 mile oval, coming close but never quite able to find his way to Victory Lane. He entered Sunday's race with five top-five finishes, including a second place in 2004 and third place in 2003 and 2012.
But Zanardi and the young fan decided it was time Kanaan's luck changed and the two rallied around the Brazilian who had once rallied around them.Charm ReturnedNine years ago, a 14-year-old girl was in a coma awaiting surgery at an Indianapolis hospital when Kanaan made a visit and offered her mother a good luck charm to help see her safely through the operation.
Now 24 years old and healthy, the woman returned the charm to Kanaan four days ago along with a note, telling him to go and win the one race he wanted most.
"I had this thing that my mom gave me," Kanaan said. "It was kind of a necklace to protect me, not to bring me luck, because you know the way moms are.
"So I took it out and I said to her mother, 'I don't know if you believe in these things but I had this for a while. It always protected me. My mother gave it to me. I want to give it to you.'
"Four days ago, she showed up, gave me a letter with an envelope. I opened the letter. She said that she had enough of luck in her life. She got married, and she wanted to give it back to me to bring me luck."
When Zanardi was nearly killed in a crash during an IndyCar race in Germany and lost both his legs, Kanaan was one of the first to support the Italian.
Zanardi decided it was time to pay back that kindness on Sunday when he showed up at the Brickyard with a gold medal he won at the 2012 London Paralympics hoping it too might give his friend an edge.
"Right before the race, he gave it to (team owner Jimmy Vasser). Jimmy brought it to the bus. I was laying in bed. Jim said, 'Zanardi asked you to rub it.'
"I actually cuddled with the thing."
While luck may have contributed to Kanaan's win, victory did not come without the experience and patience that comes with 12 years of challenging the world's most famous speedway.
It was that experience that told Kanaan that there was a good chance of a yellow caution flag coming out in the closing laps as drivers made their moves.
He was right, and when Graham Rahal struck the wall, Kanaan bounced on leader Ryan Hunter-Reay at the restart. Then, when Dario Franchitti crashed with two laps to run, bringing out another yellow, Kanaan knew he had won.

Pediatric kidney specialists are 60 percent more likely than their peers who treat adults to recommend peritoneal dialysis over hemodialysis, report Johns Hopkins Children's Center researchers in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association. Although most of the approximately 5,000 children and teens living with end_stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States are seen by pediatric nephrologists, many are treated by adult nephrologists.
"If you're the parent of a teenager with kidney disease, you should be aware that the recommendation you get for dialysis may depend on whether you go to a pediatric or adult_trained nephrologist," says the study's lead author, pediatric nephrologist Susan Furth, M.D., Ph.D. Furth says treatment choice "can affect a patient's quality of life."
Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are therapies that remove toxins from the bloodstream, a job normally handled by healthy kidneys. When kidney function falls about 10 percent, dialysis may become necessary to compensate for the loss of kidney function. Hemodialysis requires a patient to visit a clinic or hospital three times a week for three_hour sittings, often during school hours, while blood is cleansed through a large machine. Peritoneal dialysis, on the other hand, can be regulated and maintained at home or at school because it consists of portable equipment children and teens can carry with them.
From a national survey of 316 nephrologists nationwide, Furth learned that doctors with a high degree of pediatric experience were much more likely to recommend peritoneal dialysis over its alternative, hemodialysis, for young patients with ESRD.
While the relative benefits of peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis have not yet been evaluated under controlled study, Furth says anecdotal evidence has led most pediatric nephrologists to recommend peritoneal dialysis as the preferred option for children and adolescents. "Many pediatricians have reported a higher quality of life and better growth and school attendance for kids on peritoneal dialysis than on hemodialysis," Furth says.
Many children with ESRD don't have the option of visiting a children's specialist, since pediatric nephrologists tend to concentrate around urban areas and medical research centers, says Furth. As a result, many children with kidney problems visit adult nephrologists.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Departments of Health Policy and Management, Epidemiology and the School of Medicine also contributed to the study. It was funded by grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center Clinical Care Outcomes Research Project.

Tacking the word "awkward" to any sentence about Kristen Stewart almost feels redundant by now, but the Twilight star looked less than confident in her art deco mini-dress at last night's Elle Style Awards in London. Maybe she knew (seemingly) confessed boyfriend Robert Pattinson was bawling and boozing at home, wishing that the fear of a Twi-Hard uprising didn't keep him from shouting his love from the rooftops and guarding her on the carpet, not unlike how Edward protects Bella in the Pacific Northwest. Hey, it's a possibility.
Also attending were stars like Kylie Minogue, Claire Danes, Carey Mulligan, Colin Firth, Agyness Deyn, Leona Lewis and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. See what they wore in the gallery below.

Bikini Baby Bump Photo: Do It Now!
Monday, July 29th, 2013
I know taking a bikini photo period can seem daunting, let alone one when you're pregnant—like really, really pregnant. But I think you should do it, and here's why:
It's a beautiful moment. There's an indescribable intimacy that develops between you and your bump. You have an amazing little being inside of you, and the unconditional love is already there. Much like in those nature videos when you see the mama bird keeping her eggs warm through winter, and prey at bay, that's what a pregnant woman turns into—someone who will take care of her baby at all costs, even before its hatched. And I think that's something to be celebrated.
You're gorgeous, and no one is going to pick a part how you look (including you!). It's true what they say—your skin has a natural glow when you're pregnant. Hormones or not, I think it's your happiness shining through! You walk with a newfound confidence and feel super-feminine. You no longer look at your so-called flaws, because all eyes are on your bump. It's big and it's beautiful!
You can be artistic. Have fun with it! Do a moody black and white shot, a silhouette at sunset, a playful old-school pinup pose. It doesn't have to be something taken too seriously and it doesn't have to be too sexy (unless you want that—you're in control!).
It can be done on the cheap. You don't have to do an elaborate photo shoot with a professional photographer and lighting to capture a great moment. Just a quick, simple shot can do the trick. Some of my favorite photos of myself were taken by my husband on his iPhone, some when I have no makeup on at all.
I regret not taking one, and so I don't want you to have any regrets either! Not to get all Debbie Downer on you, but my dad was really sick when I was pregnant, so I spent a week out of each month going down to Florida to visit him during the last six months of his life—which I would never take back and I'm so glad I was able to do that for him and my mom—but that kept me from going on a babymoon and taking a bikini bump photo.
I remember a girlfriend of mine telling me, "Who cares if you have the vacation, you can still take the photo!" I felt silly just getting into a bikini for no reason to have my husband photograph me, so I never got the shot. Now when I see a gorgeous pregnancy photograph, like Jaime King's, I kick myself every time. Learn from my mistake: Don't be embarrassed, just do it!
For more celeb inspiration, check out Vanessa Lachey, Marisa Miller, and Alessandra Ambrosio.
TELL US: Will you be doing a bikini bumpie? If you already have, share your tips for getting a great shot!

Paint the Mountains Pink
It's not just Valentine's Day that's turning things pink around Sevier County these days. It's a new campaign to help provide mammograms to uninsured women and to teach the importance of early detection when it comes to breast cancer.
The Paint the Mountains Pink campaign kicked off on Feb. 1 as a fundraiser overseen by a group of women — and a few men — whose goal is to improve the health of Sevier County women, said Emily Kile, who co-chairs the Paint the Mountains Pink team with Linda Ogle.
The need for such a program is evident in the statistics. Sevier County ranks near the bottom — 94 out of 95 counties — for the number of uninsured women — one in five county women is uninsured. Nationwide, 20 percent of women are uninsured, and of those, two out of three need medical care but don't get it due to the expense. The average cost of a mammogram for someone without insurance is $300.
The benefits of a mammogram are indisputable. They find 85-90 percent of breast cancers and can detect cancers two years before detection by a self-exam. Kile, a 19-year breast cancer survivor, was diagnosed after a mammogram.
Ogle said she hated to hear about the low state ranking. She and Kile both jumped at the chance to Paint the Mountains Pink when they were approached by officials at LeConte Medical Center.
Amanda Paletz, marketing and communications manager at LeConte, said Phil Carney of the hospital's diagnostic imaging department first came up with the idea.
"He's seen the need for it and he has a passion for it," Paletz said of Carney, who lost the youngest of his four sisters to the disease when she was 47 years old. He said he got the idea after seeing signs all around Johnson City supporting East Tennessee State University.
"The more I thought about, the more I thought, man, we could do something like that here," Carney said, adding the staff in his department helped with coming up with the Paint the Mountains Pink idea.
"He was ready to go to his garage and start painting signs and getting them out there," Debbie Dowling, executive director of the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Foundation, said of Carney's enthusiasm.
They then recruited Kile and Ogle. "We knew that there were two women in the community who could tell us right away whether it had potential or not and whether it deserved the amount of excitement we had for it," Dowling said.
After hearing Carney's presentation, Ogle said they were "ready immediately to start. Phil inspired me and informed me that day."
"As soon as we heard this, it clicked," Kile said. "We loved it. I could just envision these gorgeous mountains painted pink."
Wanting to make sure they began it the right way, Paletz said they invited a number of people in the community to a luncheon in mid-January to tell them about the project. Kile's daughter, Jaclyn Kile, spoke to the group about how a mammogram helped detect a tumor that could have led to cancer had it not be found and removed in its early stages.
After the presentation, those in the attendance were offered the chance to opt out of the project.
"But no one did," Ogle said, adding she was impressed with how the group came together for a common cause. "Everyone is excited about it."
The first phase of the fundraiser is the selling of yard signs for $100 each and a window decal for $20. In the hospital gift shop they are also selling items such as scarves, vests and tote bags bearing the logo.
Another phase will include the Thomas Foundation's annual Evening of Elegance ball; the theme this year will be Paint the Mountains Pink and will partially benefit the fundraiser. The team plans other fundraisers.
The goal is to have an application process in place by March 1, where uninsured women in the county can seek assistance in paying for a mammogram. The standard one-page application will ask only for information to confirm residency and financial need, Paletz said. They hope to distribute application forms at the health department, Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic, local physician offices, LeConte Medical Center and online.
They hope to start providing the mammograms by April 1. The number provided will be determined by how much money is raised, Dowling said. If the fund is ever too low, applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
The team set a $30,000 goal for their first six weeks of fundraising. That would pay for 100 mammograms.
"We need to show the women in Sevier County that we care about them, and this is for Sevier County women," Kile said. "All the money stays here."
But what if one of those mammograms comes back positive? Paletz said there will be steps in place to pay for further exams through organizations such as the Tennessee Breast and Cervical Center. Should a cancer diagnosis be confirmed, help will be available to apply for assistance through TennCare.
Another goal of the campaign is educating all women on the importance of early detection. Even women who have insurance, Carney said, need to have annual exams once they reach 40. It's not uncommon for some of those diagnosed with cancer to be women who've never had a mammogram before or who didn't come in on a regular basis.
The Paint the Mountains Pink campaign will be a continuing one, with money raised year-round. To that end, the team is brain-storming ideas. One is to choreograph a Pink Glove Dance in hopes of earning $10,000 for the charity.
More information can be found at the www.lecontemedicalcenter.com/pink (an independent Paint the Mountains Pink website page is under construction) or the team's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/PaintTheMountainsPink. Paletz encourages those who purchase yard signs or other products to post their photos on the Facebook page. Donations can also be made online.
Anyone interested in joining the Paint the Mountains Pink team can call Dowling at 446-9627. The next meeting is in March.

text: Have any of the instructors out there ever thought of allowing people to tape themselves from multiple different angles shooting a number of different shots, and then send them to you to have their stroke analyzed, and suggestions given. It would obviously not be as good as a personal lesson, but may be a good way to allow people to have access to the better instructors out there if they do not live close enough, and would not need to be as expensive as a full lesson. It could also be used as a follow up review from a previous lesson to show progress if the instructor travels a lot. The uses could apply to many other situations. just thought it was an interesting idea.

What modchip do you have?
Hi everyone. I feel like I must be missing something very obvious here but after searching online and playing around with it myself I'm still at a loss. I have a soft modded wii with the HBC installed, of course. I installed the snes9xgx channel through the HBC. I made sure I was running IOS58. It installed successfully. However, I'm at a complete loss as to how to load roms. With the channel installed, every time I GO to the channel it simply tells me it is already installed and do I want to uninstall?
What am I missing here? I downloaded the snex9xgx installer. Do I need to replace files with something else after installing it? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm very eager to play some SNES homebrew!

Sorry guys, I realized after I posted that it was in the wrong section. Thanks for moving the thread.
Yes, I have read and followed that tutorial. I still have the same issue however.
I'm not quite sure what channel? Is it a forwarded channel on the system menu page, a full channel on the system menu page, or the icon in the homebrew channel?

It's in the system menu but I'm honestly not sure if it's a full channel or a forwarded channel. How can I tell?
The difference is that a full wad channel installs the application directly to the internal NAND memory on your Wii, whereas a forwarder installs a much smaller package which points to the application on your sd card. Where did u get the channel from? What was the name of the file? You can look in the wii settings under data management/channels and see how big the channel is.

I downloaded it from the wii wikibrew page. I wasn't sure which I needed so I downloaded both the channel installer and the snes9xgx zip. I'm going to try deleting the channel and redownloading all the files to see if maybe there was a simple error when I downloaded originally (since that's what happened with my USB Loader issue).
If you downloaded it from there, it is a forwarder. The readme says
* This channel tries load apps/snes9xgx/boot.dol from SD or USB. You must have
Snes9x GX installed in one of these locations.
