Geralyn A.New JerseyVery Impressed!I was browsing my favorite hair care site, Folica of course, and was so surprised to come across this brush set. I have been shopping, both in store and online, when my daughter told me she wanted a compact set for her purse. I went to the store know for cosmetics and was surprised at the high prices they wanted for sets very similar to what this Royal and Langnickel had.
I did some online research on this brand first and found that customers who used these brushes were very pleased. I ordered two sets for both of my daughters who are in their mid twenties, avid makeup wearers, and very hard to please. To my delight, both girls flipped over these brushes! They told me that the quality was excellent, the brushes are soft, like silk, and there is no shedding of bristles. The set has all of the important brushes one needs on the go without having to fill one's make up case with the larger full size ones.
The case that they come in is of a wonderful quality that can take the wear and tear of a handbag and very attractive too.
I highly recommend this to any one looking for a travel set of high quality brushes. I am also going to keep this in mind for gift giving. At this price you can't go wrong.
I hope this review was helpful. I know that I have not used these myself but I am confident in the feedback my daughters gave me. It's always a good thing when Mom comes through and it was great treating them and making them happy.

The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of 28
on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely New
York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round pick,
No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at
some of the forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…
Zack Phillips

Highlight Reel >
What they're saying:
THN – "An increase of
50 points over last season has vaulted Phillips to the top 10 on many
lists. The one facet scouts believe is
keeping him out of the top three is his skating. 'He's a gifted offensive player, but his
skating is not that good,' one scout said. 'That's the risk with him. His
first couple steps aren't very good.' The skating issue makes Phillips an easy target for criticism, but
scouts also acknowledge it's difficult to be too critical of a player who puts
up the numbers he did. 'There are some
guys where you're looking for something wrong with them,' another scout
said. 'Then you look at the scoresheet
and you realize there has to be something right with them.' 'He reminds me a lot of a Jarret Stoll type
of guy,' another scout said. 'Everybody
knocks his skating, but all he does is keep putting up points. He can score goals and he has a great shot.'
The Scouting Report – "Phillips made some major strides forward in his game this
season and we think he's done enough to be included in our Top 30 prospects. He
doesn't have an overly defining quality to his game, but he's a crafty
offensive player who always seems to be in the right place at the right time.
Skating isn't great, but it isn't horrible; albeit something that needs to
improve for him to make the jump. While Phillips seems to be a guy that a lot
of people feel might not be able to find a role at the next level, we liken him
a bit to a guy like Brett MacLean who, even with some weaknesses in his game,
seems to have enough of everything to overcome them."
Bruins 2011 Draft Watch – "This scoring stud lost some effectiveness down the stretch
with a shoulder injury he suffered in the President's Cup final series against Gatineau. As such he
hasn't been able to shine as brightly in the Memorial Cup as he did during the
regular season when he and linemates Jonathan Huberdeau and Michael
Kirkpatrick destroyed opposing defenses and netminders. The biggest knock
on Phillips is his lack of speed and explosiveness, but the NHL is full of guys
who don't have the most dynamic skating ability. Where he compensates is with
his hands and elite hockey sense- Phillips may be the most opportunistic scorer
of any prospect in this entire class. He drives the net honestly and often
times finds results. One of the questions scouts have is whether Phillips can
do it on a team without the pure talent and depth he has surrounding him in St. John. We think he'll
do it no matter who he's with, whether at the center position or on the wing at
the next level. He was the ninth-ranked player in THN's draft issue and while
we feel that is a bit high, we could see how an NHL team in need for some legit
scoring chops might have him as a solid top-15 pick this year."
Corey Pronman - "After playing alongside top draft eligible prospect Jonathan
Huberdeau for most of the season, Zach Phillips put up impressive counting
numbers. If you want a player with flash, Phillips is anything but that,
however the late '92 birthdate does have a couple of notable tools that have
made scouts notice him. His hockey sense is above-average which is evident in
how he consistently anticipates the flow of the play. Once he senses his team
is about to gain possession of the play, he jettisons into an open lane to
receive a pass and get the puck up the ice, yet is responsible defensively,
works hard in that aspect and in viewings of Phillips he showed very effective
penalty killing. That work ethic is apparent in the offensive size too as
despite his frame that significantly lacks muscle he goes to the physical areas
consistently. He's a solid distributor and on the power play will occasionally
flash above-average in that regard. Zach's a solid to above-average finisher
with good accuracy on his wrist shot. The major issues with Philips which is
going to really hamper his pro potential are his fringe skating and his body.
He has heavy feet and despite a decent first step, the tool really lacks
pro-level qualities. While Phillips did succeed at going to the net at the
Junior level, he has a ton of gym work ahead of him before he'll be ready to do
it at the NHL level. While he frequently lined up at center in the QMJHL this
year, he projects as a winger and I've seen him be effective as a left wing."
True Hockey – "He is described by many as a smooth skating player who has strong finishing abilities, but can also create opportunities for his linemates. He is not overly sizeable at 6-feet and 180 pounds, but will grow into his frame and top out closer to the 200-pound mark."
Mock Drafts:
Adam Kimelman, NHL.com – 16
Mike Morreale, NHL.com – N/A
Steven Hoffner, NHL.com – 17
Deven Persaud, NHL.com - 17
TSN.ca – 13
Gary Joyce, ESPN - 27
Mark Seidel, CBC - N/A
Hockey's Future - 17
The Hockey News - 13
Thoughts: Phillips certainly sounds like he has goal scoring
ability, but the negative comments about his skating are giant red flags. The Rangers are desperately in need of a
dynamic offensive player, and Phillips may have the capability. However, New York typically shies away from players
with fundamental knocks on them in the first round.
The Rangers haven't used a first-round selection on a QMJHL
player since 1977 and haven't drafted anyone from the league since Chris Doyle
in 2008.

I don't think it violates moral principles either -- when properly done.
There is no way to kill properly. Killing is the most basic violation of any moral principle. All other principles are elaborations of the most fundametal one. You cannot make up your own morality.

Only if you place animals in the same moral category as human beings. Killing an animal does not carry the same moral weight. Any more than killing a plant carries the same moral weight as killing an animal.
Furthermore, numerous animals are killed to make room for and/or protect the vegetable and fruit crops from which your food comes.
Also, there is no wrong in killing something to obtain food. Or to cull the population to serve a larger program of managment and conservation.
It's hypocritical for vegans to berate others for killing to obtain food, when animals are killed so that they might eat.
This is especially true for vegans who live in cities and suburbs, and grow none of their own food.
It is doubly hypocritcal when one considers the numbers of animals that were displaced or killed to make way for urban/suburban housing developments said vegans might live in.
If one lived as a vegan in the simplest possible hut -- and made sure beforehand not to displace any animals on his home site -- and grew all his own food -- making sure to not kill a single creature in his farming process --
Then said vegan might have a leg to stand on with the "killing" argument.

Actually, I do place nonhuman animals in the same moral category as humans. We all evolved from the same common ancestor, and we all contain some of the same DNA. We're all animals.
As for vegans living in cities:
The cities were there before I was around, and they'll continue to be there when I'm gone. I have no moral objection to living in a city. And where I or anybody else lives has no bearing whatsoever on what I choose to eat.
As for comparing nonhuman carnivores or obligate omnivores with humans where diet is concerned:
As I've repeatedly said, they have to kill in order to survive - and we don't!
There is nothing immoral about a lioness killing a gazelle. She sees the gazelle as food, and nothing more. (The gazelle would prefer not to be killed, naturally, but since the natural order of things says that she is going to be a food item, she has no choice. This is the Christians' so-called 'loving god' in action.)
Humans, on the other hand, do not have to kill the gazelle, because we have many, many other food options available to us. And, once we understand this, killing the gazelle does become a moral issue.

Solf, plants come from much the same DNA too.
That said, if you wish to place animals in the same category as human beings -- or to regard us as merely another animal species, and nothing more, feel free.
I simply don't agree, because I can't, because I see no rationality or reality in those views.
Also by your reasoning, hunting and killing animals for food were here long before I was.
True, I don't need to. But I have the capacity to, and said animals are readily available for hunting close to my home.
And my hunting does no harm to the greater balance of nature here. In fact, it plays right into it.

In other words, you seem to be saying that nonhuman animals are not merely our equals in terms of natual rights, but actually have more rights than us. They have the right to kill in order to eliminate competition for resources. We don't. They have the right to kill to eat, we don't. They have the right to kill their own species to enforce territorial boundaries. We don't. They have the right to kill for sport, we don't. And that's just your manifesto conerning the relative rights of man versus other creatures on the topic of killing. Man may not take a life for any reason, other creatures may take life for any reason of which they can conceive.

I've noted that same disjointed reasoning in animal rights in general.
We're no better, supposedly, than any other animal. But we're expected to be held to a higher standard. And an almost completely pacifist one at that.
For example, some strident vegans will acknowledge it's okay to kill bacteria, or an attacking bear, purely for self defense.
But apparently defending our turf, by culling some wolves, is a huge moral travesty... even though every living creature on Mother Earth defends its turf.

Yeah, except that it's not your 'turf,' Mouse. the wolves were there before you were. The land is theirs and you are the interloper.
And yes, we're all animals, and we all have conditioned responses based on positive and negative reinforcement, but whether other animals act out of instinct or genetic memory or simple survival has nothing to do with us. As animals ourselves, humans are supposed to have a higher order of sentience, and we've found ways to rationalise our instincts. Unlike many other species, we humans have created an environment for ourselves that offers many choices.
And one of those choices is whether or not to kill other sentient beings.
Humans kill and eat other animals on an apathetic whim, a general lack of interest in exploring ethical issues, or finding their desire for a taste or a cultural acceptance more important than the ethical or even health issues associated with this behaviour.
And statements like: 'Other animals kill and eat each other, so it's OK for us to do so, too' make no sense at all. Since we're all animals, then it must follow that it would be OK for us to kill our fellow humans, too, if we felt like it.
Why should humans have empathy for other animals? Because it makes us better humans.

The wolves in question were re-introduced into this area after significant human settlement. In 1995-1996. I was here before they were, as were most people living in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Also, it's sort of a moot point. Many other creatures, including wolves, move around and pioneer new territory, and defend said territory.
So, again, why is it okay for every other creature, but not human beings?
I have plenty of empathy for animals, Solf. There's no discrepect toward wild things in recognizing the fact that some of them might have to be shot if they cause too much ruckus with human civilization.

Becoming advanced, civilized and reaching the potential of our maturity as a human race does not mean we simply sit around and never touch or alter anything.
If grizzly bears and wolves encroach on human interests and human settlement, some of 'em are going to get shot.
Note, I did not say all. Not all should be culled, only some.
Apex predators, such as wolves, griz and cougars fufill a vital role in a healthy ecosystem. So, damn skippy I support having them here in viable numbers, nor do I care how much that annoys anti-predator zealots -- who are apparently willfully ignorant about how nature actually works, despite an abundance of readily available information.
On the flip side of the coin, I'm not sorry if it offends you or other supposed "nature lovers" who live nowhere near the Yellowstone eocsystem, that some people here have a vested interest in protecting their pets, livestock, property, hunting interests, children or themselves from large predators. Feel free to stay nestled away in a distant city or suburb, where the dangerous predators move around on two feet.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
Down by as many as 11 points late in the second half, the Pinnacle High Panthers faced an uphill battle to get back in the game. Despite cutting the Monticello lead to three points late in the fourth quarter, turnovers doomed the Panthers' chances of a win as Monticello walked away with a 64-55 win on Friday night.
The Panthers were able to cut the deficit down to three on multiple occasions in the fourth quarter. Senior Jake Hardy hit a layup with 1:56 remaining to make it 58-55. After a Monticello turnover following a Pinnacle High time-out, the Panthers had a chance to carve into the lead or tie the game. However the Panthers committed turnovers on four of their last five possessions leaving them with a bitter feeling once the final horn sounded.
"We had our opportunities in the end, but we had too many turnovers," said PHS head coach Andrew Olson. Olson said he was proud of the fact that the Panthers battled back from a double-digit deficit to be in position for a chance to win.
Monticello lead 48-37 with 3:30 left in the third quarter. The Panthers went on a 9-4 run to close the quarter as the raucous crowd at the Pinnacle High Gymnasium began to get louder as the Panthers inched closer to making a comeback.
However, Monticello used a combination of their size advantage down low and hitting their open shots in the final quarter to help take down the Panthers.
The Monticello defense wasn't too shabby either. They face guarded Pinnacle's 3-point shooting specialist Dalton Rudman all game long, not allowing him to get many open looks from behind the arc. Rudman finished with five points and did not have any made 3-pointers for only the second time this season.
"They kept Dalton in check for the whole game, not allowing him to get any open looks," Olson said. "
While the loss stings, Olson said the Panthers will take the result in stride. He expects the team to fix a few kinks with their fast-paced, high scoring offense as they head into their final five games.
"The loss will be good for us to learn from," he explained. "We slowed down on offense in the game. We need to be going full speed for the entire game and we can't be in the habit of just watching the guards handling the ball."
Pinnacle (12-4 overall, 5-2 Region 19) will return to action on Wednesday night as they will host Grand High at 7 p.m. at the Pinnacle High Gymnasium.

Good idea, Mr Smith.
Well, trying to buy one's way into Heaven with other people's money is not what I would consider "Christian". The chapel and other image enhancing projects aren't such "good ideas" to those whose businesses and families are suffering because "they" can't or won't pay their bills. I wonder if chapel attendees are expected to tithe. If so "they" could double dip with separate denominational services. And let's not forget those wedding fees. The line between piety and profit is a bit blurry here.

Maureen Molinari, Mind-Body Medicine Alumna
Maureen MolinariMind-Body Medicine
For her final Master's Project, Maureen Molinari researched how stress impacts people with diabetes both physiologically and psychologically, and then created a website providing videos and information for effective stress-management, using yoga, guided imagery, and nutrition. The website uses health-coaching, because she believes that a coaching model empowers people with diabetes to make meaningful lifestyle changes to improve their health and well-being. Health coaching uses the clients' vision of health and wellness to guide the coaching sessions, providing a supportive way to work with people.
Molinari chose yoga, guided imagery, and nutrition as the stress-management tools, because she personally loves and uses all three. As a Registered Dietitian she appreciates the profound impact that nutrition has on physical and psychological health, yet understands that sometimes what people choose to eat is influenced by stress and many other factors. The premise for creating this website is that when people don't have control over the stress in their lives, it is difficult to engage in life enhancing self-care activities.
Molinari has experienced the profound impact of a regular yoga on herself physically and psychologically, and is hoping to bring that healing to the people who access the new website. The Imagery for Health class in Saybrook University's College of Mind-Body Medicine was one of her favorite classes. She enjoyed reading scientific research on the impact of imagery, and appreciated the course's emphasis on cultivating the creativity of the mind.
Molinari's vision for the diabetes self-care website is to give people practical skills and tools that they can access whenever they have an internet connection. She plans to provide a range of videos, for example, guided imagery scripts for sleep or relaxation, yoga that can be done in an office chair, and a full range of cooking videos designed to encourage people to start preparing simple, delicious, and nutritious meals.

I have a trip to Hawaii comming up, and I bought some new tapes for my camcorder, and i bought TDK -- which was on sale. I had been using Sony in the past. My friend, who is into a lot of video stuff, or wants to be and talks to a lot of "professionals" as he calls them, and he found out the brand switch and he was like "you cant switch brands, the different lubricants will gum up the heads and it will cost you $250 to clean!"
Does anybody know about this issue, other than from down the grape vine? He is a die-hard sony fan for tapes, but they are so much more expensive.
I did some research and I found mix answers, so I wanna know if anybody has recorded stuff and switched between brands frequently.

An Alexandria Bay man avoided injury on Sunday night as he was able to clear his van before it became completely engulfed in flames on the side of Interstate 81.
Wayne E. Matthews had just dropped his two boys off with their mother at a diner at the nearby LaFargeville exit and was heading north toward the village around 5:45 p.m. when his 2000 Chevy Astro van started shaking. Mr. Matthews immediately pulled over to the shoulder of the highway, between exits 49 and 50.
Immediately there was smoke, he said.
Mr. Matthews, the only person in the vehicle, was quickly able to get out.
David E. VanBrocklin, chief of the Alexandria Bay Fire Department, said the vehicles drive shaft fell from the vehicle, setting off the vans gas tank.
Even though his department was less than 10 miles from the scene, the vehicle was burning heavily by the time they and other first responders arrived.
It didnt take long for the vehicle to burn up, Mr. VanBrocklin said.
The van sustained extensive damage in the fire, from its completely gutted interior to the burnt paint on its exterior.
Mr. Matthews said he had not had any major mechanical problems with the van prior to Sundays fire. He said the only major property loss in the car was tools he used for his construction work.
Standing next to the vehicle with his friend James P. Chiras, Mr. Matthews said he was still trying to understand what just happened.
I dont know if Ive fully gotten a grasp of it all, he said.
Traffic on the highway was slowed temporarily as crews cleared the scene. Assisting at the scene was the Fishers Landing fire department, Jefferson County Sheriffs Department and state police.

"Dolly's lung problem was the last in a series of medical problems. Last year, Ian Wilmut, the Roslin researcher who led the team that cloned her, said that had he been a hill farmer and Dolly a regular sheep, the size of the vet's bill would already have sealed her fate" (Whitfield, 2003, emp. added). Dr. Wilmut never had to load his gun. On February 14, 2003, Dolly, the world's first cloned sheep (and first mammal ever cloned from an adult cell), was euthanized after being diagnosed with progressive lung disease, reported the Roslin Institute, where Dolly was cloned in 1996 (see "First Cloned Sheep…", 2003). Dolly's obituary read like a Hollywood headline: "Celebrity clone dies of drug overdose" (Whitfield, 2003). The "official" obituary noted that she was only six-and-a-half years old, and had suffered "from lung cancer caused by a virus" (Whitfield). A postmortem examination was carried out, and preliminary results revealed that the world-famous sheep also was suffering from both cancer and arthritis. Dolly's final resting place will be at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, where, according to scientists at the Roslin Institute in Midlothian where Dolly had been kept, she eventually will be put on public display. This chapter in the life of this legendary sheep may be closed, but Dolly's early demise assures that many more chapters will be written as we try to determine the safety and efficacy of cloning—in both animals and humans.
Health concerns had plagued Dolly from the very beginning of her unusual life. Early on, researchers were worried that Dolly had a serious weight problem. Then, in 1999, a development occurred that made her excessive weight seem—if you'll pardon the pun—not so "weighty." This milestone in the cloning controversy was reported in the May 27, 1999 issue of Nature, where Dr. Wilmut discussed his examination of Dolly's chromosomes. Wilmut and his colleagues studied the length of chromosome ends (telomeres) from Dolly and two other sheep produced by the same process (known as "nuclear somatic transfer") that had been used to clone Dolly. It generally has been accepted scientifically that telomere deterioration is a reliable indication of reduction in life span; the more rapid and serious the telomere deterioration, the shorter the expected life span. Wilmut and his coworkers reported a marked deterioration in the telomeres of Dolly's chromosomes, compared to those from non-cloned animals, and even suggested that "the most likely explanation" for the deterioration observed in these animals "reflects that of the transferred nucleus. Full restoration of telomere length did not occur because these animals were produced without germline involvement" (see Shiels, et al., 1999, 399:317, emp. added).
In other words, since Dolly was cloned from the mammary gland cell of a six-year-old sheep, in essence her telomeres already were six years old, and therefore deteriorated more rapidly than those of non-cloned animals produced by regular procreative procedures. In simple terms, it may turn out that cloned creatures have markedly reduced life spans compared to those produced via normal, sexual reproduction. In fact, in January 2002, it was reported that Dolly was suffering from severe arthritis. At the time, Dr. Wilmut noted: "There is no way of knowing if this is due to cloning or whether it is a coincidence" (see BBC News, 2002). In that same article, the author noted that the director of an organization known as Compassion in World Farming, Joyce D'Silva, told BBC Radio 5 Live:
I think of the hundreds and hundreds of other cloned lambs who have been born and had malformed hearts, lungs, or kidneys. They have struggled to survive for a few days and then had their lungs filled with fluid and gasped their way to death or had to be put out of their misery by their creators. That is the real story of cloning.
I think of the hundreds and hundreds of other cloned lambs who have been born and had malformed hearts, lungs, or kidneys. They have struggled to survive for a few days and then had their lungs filled with fluid and gasped their way to death or had to be put out of their misery by their creators. That is the real story of cloning.
One year after Dolly had been diagnosed with arthritis, on Valentine's Day (February 14), 2003, the almost-seven-year-old sheep had to be euthanized due to a progressive lung disease—an infection seen mainly in older sheep. The point should not be overlooked that Dolly was created from the cell of a six-year-old sheep, and that she died approximately six years early. If the findings from Dr. Wilmut and other researchers are confirmed, this obviously will have serious implications for attempts at human cloning. If a 65-year-old man had himself cloned (to choose just one example), the clone just might begin life with a 65-year head start toward the grave!
Dolly's untimely death follows the announcement that Matilda, Australia's first cloned sheep (born April 2000, and the first sheep to be cloned outside of the Roslin Institute—see CBC News, 2003), died. Rob Lewis, the South Australian Research Institute's executive director, said that Matilda seemed "remarkably healthy" on the day she died. Sadly, Matilda's corpse already was decomposing when it was discovered; thus, researchers cremated it—never identifying the true cause of death. These reports echo previous ones regarding the life expectancy of clones. For instance, on March 9, 2001, three cattle cloned by scientists at California State University at Chico appeared to have been born healthy, but two of the calves died of abrupt immune system failure, and the third was reported to be failing rapidly (see Cooper, 2001). While not widely reported in the news media, such events are becoming quite common in regard to cloned animals, and serve to demonstrate the potential dangers of human cloning. Many of the animals that have been cloned have experienced obvious mutations, while others have died shortly after birth, even though outwardly they appeared to be quite normal (see, for example, Humphreys, 2001). In studies performed on cloned cattle by Cyagra, Inc., a Kansas company that studies the commercial aspects of cloning livestock, the "company has about a 6 percent birth rate; of those calves, about half die soon after they are born" (as quoted in Cooper, 2001).
An unsettling report in the July 6, 2001 issue of Science addressed this very point, and documented the fact that while cloned animals may appear normal, and may even behave somewhat normal, the truth is that sometimes these animals are far from normal. The report went on to announce that scientists have found the first evidence that "normal-looking" clones can harbor serious genetic abnormalities. For those researchers interested in pursuing cloning as an alternate method of reproduction, the news from scientists at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and the University of Hawaii represented a veritable bomb detonated right on their very doorsteps. The first statement in a paper titled "Epigenetic Instability in ES Cells and Cloned Mice" by David Humphreys and colleagues reads as follows: "Cloning by nuclear transfer is an inefficient process in which most clones die before birth and survivors often display growth abnormalities" (2001, 293:95, emp. added).
One year later, Tanja Dominko of the Oregon Regional Primate Research Centre, spoke at a conference in Washington, D.C., where she reported on her work with cloned monkey embryos. She commented that the cloned embryos showed a host of problems, and that even embryos that looked healthy were, to use her words, a "gallery of horrors" (see Westphal, 2001, 172[2321]:14). This is not exactly the image of cloning that federally funded researchers want the public at large to see.
One thing is certain. Scientists do not want Dolly's death stifling the agenda for human cloning. In fact, two days after Dolly's death, Robin McKie wrote a paper titled "Dolly Dies—But Human Cloning will Still Happen." McKie noted: "Human cloning is still on the agenda. Leading scientists yesterday attacked suggestions that the early death of Dolly the Sheep showed that current biotechnology techniques were inefficient and unworkable" (2003). Thus, the push continues for someone to announce to a waiting world—and provide definitive proof—that they have successfully cloned the world's first human. We invite you to read an in-depth investigation into just what the cloning process entails in considering whether or not humans should be cloned. For additional information on cloning click here.

Britni Greenwood smashes one past the Hawks defense as the Dino take the match in four Tuesday night.
In the past few years, the region volleyball match-ups between North Sanpete and Carbon have been epics. The Tuesday night battle was more of the same as Carbon triumphed 13-25, 25-19, 25-19, 25- 14 over the Hawks. For Coach Cristin Johnson it was the worst and the best she has seen out of her team all year.
In game one, the Dinos came out loose and confident, but the Hawks came ready to do battle. Shortly into the match, North Sanpete found their rhythm and took it to Carbon. The scrappy home team began to get their feet under them, but it was too little, too late. They lost game one, something that home town fans have not witnessed in many years.
Johnson took her team to task between games and it seemed to get them going. But the Hawks felt the momentum they had in game one and kept it nip and tuck for most of the match. The Dinos pulled away in the end. In game two it was North Sanpete trying to regain momentum and for a while it looked like they might take the edge. But Carbon didn't panic and pulled up and ahead as the game wore on to put the nail in the coffin.
Needing just one more game to put the Hawks away, Carbon came out with a vengeance in the final confrontation. The Hawks were not able to match the intensity and it was all Dinos in the final round. Britni Greenwood and Joy Malone stepped up their games to the best level they have played yet this season and the match went to Carbon.
Greenwood ended up with 18 kills and Malone contributed another 11 in the offensive assault. Cheree Julian served up a pair of aces to help in the attack while Julia Potts dished up 35 set assists. Defensively Brittany Gustas and Chantell Jensen kept the Dinos in it with 29 digs between them.
A relieved Johnson was all smiles by the end of the match, a sharp contrast to where she was at the end of game one when she had to lower the boom on her squad. "You just have to know when it's time to get tough and when to let them work through things. There is a lot of experience out there and most of the time they can work through it. I mainly told them that this is too good of a team for us to play from behind. We needed to play offensively and not defensively."
The team heads to Castle Dale on Thursday to take on the Spartans. Varsity game time is at 7 p.m.

If Apple maintains their solid hardware design, I think that such a computer would be an awesome addition to their line up. I wouldn't mind buying one, if it's priced right. Here are a few things that would interest me:
1. The Intel processor - there is way too much software that hasn't been successfully compiled on the PPC processor (very frustrating).
2. Wine would work (I would really love to use wine and finally kick my meager dependence on M$).
3. If I had to use Windows, I could and it would be on some of the most elegant hardware around (including the iBooks and iMacs).
Those are just some of the reasons why I would be interested. Of course, I'd like to see what kind of hardware they use. I'm sure it would have 512mb of RAM and at least a 1.5ghz processor. I am more interested in the optical and hard drives that they would include.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Atomic athlete Kilian Jornet and his team colleague Frenchman Matheo Jacquemoud won the Italian Tour Du Rutor Ski Mountaineering competition. In three stages, the team clinched the victory after a challenging race from March 30 - April 1, 2012.
The high-alpine team race in the Aosta Valley is part of the Grande Course and is one of the most difficult stage competitions in Italy. Jornet voiced his competitive spirit even prior to the beginning of the race: "After the Italians won the Pierra Menta, I want to win with my French team mate here in Italy!" On the first of three racing days across the highest point of Tete du Rutor with 3,486 m, Jornet and Jacquemoud were able to stay hard on the heels of the leading team Bon Mardion/Lanfranchi and came in second place with less than one minute behind the winning team. On day 2, across 1,850 meters of difference in altitude, they competed with several teams for the victory. In an exciting race with very small time differences, it looked like the two would be able to win the second stage of the race, but they lost precious time during the final downhill lag due to a broken ski. As a result, they came only in second place. However, in a remarkable finish, they were only 2 seconds behind the winners of the stage Holzknecht/Reichegger and only 4 seconds ahead of Bon Mardion/Lanfranchi in third place. The third stage extending over 2,300 meters of difference in altitude and the final downhill lag to Planaval across 2,000 meters of difference in altitude were to determine the winners. Jornet and Jacquemoud risked everything. With a massive last push, they pulled ahead of the competition, winning the race. A margin of almost 4 minutes ahead of the competition was enough to win the Tour du Rutor with a finishing time of 7:15:34 hours Jornet had the following to say about his victory: "I need to thank my team mate Matheo who made it possible to win this race. Winning here means a lot to me!" The next stage is the World Cup Final of the ISMF in Tromsö /Norway from April 13-15, 2012, followed by the final Grande Course event, the "Patroulille des Glaciers" from April 25-28, 2012 in Switzerland.

The Helper mission is a place of hope and a chance for a new life, according to director Barbara Dougherty.
That hope was bolstered when Zions Lutheran Church members from Salt Lake City came to Helper looking to help their fellowman.
"These were the most amazing group of people," stated Dougherty. "They put over $800 worth of paint into the floor level of our facility and bought us a new grill."
The youth group members, who last year built a home for a family in Mexico, look for a project on an annual basis. This year, they settled on the Helper mission.
The group's members stayed from Aug. 16 to Aug. 19, painting, cleaning and renovating the only mission in Carbon County.
"They cleaned our entire kitchen and entry way," commented Dougherty. "We used to call it the Dungeon because of 50 years worth of tobacco stains and the dark brown paint but thanks to them it looks so open and clean."
According to Dougherty, the group was organized by Jim Brandon.
While the members referred to themselves as a youth group, they were comprised of nearly as many adults and young adults as children.
Dougherty reported that she took the position as the mission's director about a year ago and has seen the facility go through some changes.
The mission houses anywhere from 15 to 20 people on average, but can accept as many as 50 individuals.
"People tend to think that the mission only houses men, but we have couples, single parents and children here at the mission, we really serve a wide variety of people here," explained Dougherty.
Funding for the Helper facility is largely supplied via an annual state grant and proceeds from the thrift store which the mission runs next door to its housing facility. According to the director they really get help from all facets of the community, including receiving food aid that was left over from the mine disaster rescue effort.
The mission has strict rules for its residence. No alcohol or tobacco is allowed in the facility and they lock the mission doors at 10 p.m. After that point access to the facility is provided by a doorman who lives and works at the mission.
The facility does not only provide housing for those down on their luck, it also provides vital assistance for those trying to get on their feet. According to Dougherty, residents of the mission can stay for up to 45 days if they are working toward their own goal and up to a year and a half if they work with a case director who can provide self sufficiency goals, permanent housing assistance, help gaining social security and directions to alcoholics anonymous meetings if necessary.
"There are tough days at the mission but there are also wonderful days," explained Dougherty. "I certainly don't make the money that I used to but I believe this job is a calling and it has truly been a blessing for me."
The mission is overseen by a seven person board including; George Zamantakis, Kevin Saccamano, Sherie Mills, Bob Tanner, Joni Westbrook, Maye Aguayo, Pat Wilson and Rick Deaton.
Helper Police Detective Kevin Saccamano reported that he feels the mission is a great asset to the city of Helper.
"People tend to have no idea what the mission really is about," concluded Saccamano. "This place is a true asset to our community and the new director has really made a big difference. The mission in Helper gives people a place to go. I feel it minimizes the criminal element here. The organization and structure make it a safe place. They really help people get their lives together here."
According to Dougherty acts of kindness like those of the Salt Lake Lutheran Church are what make places like the mission work.
"Between them and our own community I think this facility can only get better and better," concluded the director.

During a regularly scheduled council meeting on Dec. 28, Wellington officials discussed the matter of snow removal in the city.
Asa Pierce and Lee Worley petitioned the council in November 2005 for a ruling about residential snow removal.
The men told the council that they push snow for neighbors who are unable to remove it by themselves.
Pierce and Worley said Wellington police had issued them warning tickets for pushing snow into the city streets.
Pierce and Worley maintained that much of what they were removing was snow the city snowplows had pushed into residential driveways.
The men asked if the city could put the snow into a windrow in the middle of the street instead of pushing it against the sidewalks and residential driveways.
The men's proposal was discussed at length last November and again in a city council meeting on Dec. 13, with no decisions made.
A the Dec. 28 meeting, the council agreed that the city did not have the money, means or manpower to haul snow away.
The general consensus was that pushing snow into a windrow in the center of the street would cause more problems than it would solve.
After a lengthy discussion, the council passed a resolution to keep the current city ordinance regarding snow removal in force and do what can be done to accommodate citizens on an individual basis.
The council was unanimous in agreeing that instructions be given to Wellington police and city workers to be as lenient and as flexible as possible in enforcing the city ordinance.
A key phrase identified at last Wednesday's council meeting was "passive enforcement."
The council agreed that only the most severe and blatant of violations should be ticketed.
The mayor agreed to speak to the city police and streets department about the matter.
The next item of discussion at the Dec. 28 meeting was a review of the sixth draft of a water service agreement between Wellington city and the Price River Water Improvement District.
Councilmembers reviewed the proposal and discussed various items in draft of the agreement.
A major topic was the formula used to calculate the number of water shares the city would be required to surrender for PRWID use each year.
Under the proposed agreement, PRWID would deduct a 30 percent delivery loss from the amount of water Wellington turned over to PRWID.
Some councilmembers thought that number was too high.
Mayor Karl Houskeeper told the officials that the 30 percent loss was a standard deduction imposed by PRWID on all customers. He explained that the loss was accrued through leaking pipes and normal water treatment procedures such as the back-flushing of lines and filters. There followed a debate about how the 30% figure was calculated, and about asking PRWID to reduce the 30% delivery loss to something less.
After a lengthy discussion, the council agreed to table the item for further study and review with council.
City fire chief Scott Rowley gave the council a review of recent fire department happenings. He asked for approval to induct one new firefighter into the force, and tentative permission to include another in the near future. The board approved his request.
The council then went into executive session to discuss personnel matters. The next Wellington city council meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 11.

Many players have made prominent returns to Broadway: Alexei Kovalev, Petr Nedved, and perhaps most notably, Mark Messier.
While the impending offseason doesn't boast much top-tier former Ranger talent, there are a few names worth mentioning.
Here's the debate: Which, if any, of these former Ranger defensemen would be worth re-signing?
1. Paul Mara - Became a fan and locker room favorite, but not a favorite of Head Coach John Tortorella. The Rangers need a steadying force on defense and his impact on Marc Staal was significant.
2. Kim Jonsson - Perhaps a better player playing on a bad Ranger team. The lanky defenseman can play quality minutes, but isn't necessarily a strong two-way player.
3. Derek Morris - A flash in the pan for the Rangers as a trade deadline deal in 2009, but New York did consider re-signing the veteran defenseman with the big shot.
4. Jason Strudwick - The Rangers needed a 6th/7th defenseman and they got that when the acquired Anders Erikkson. Strudwick, a two-time Ranger already, was well liked and was a good veteran presence.
5. Mike Mottau - A Ranger draft choice that simply never made the cut. Could play in the third pairing, perhaps second depending on what choices the Rangers make this offseason.
Let's leave the list at five for now.
Get debatin'!
