Melancthon isn't destined to become a mining town, at least not anytime soon.
The Highland Companies dropped a bombshell, sending quarry opponents into a frenzy on Wednesday (Nov. 21), when the company declared it has withdrawn its application for a licence to mine 2,316 acres of land for limestone in Melancthon.
"They thought they could just blow into Melancthon," exclaimed Carl Cosack, chair of the North Dufferin Agricultural Community Taskforce (NDACT). "You can't force something on a community of this nature without having repercussions."
In February of 2011, The Highland Companies filed the largest aggregate extraction application to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in the province's history. Local residents soon brought forward a bounty of environmental concerns and quickly rallied together in fierce opposition to Highland's plans.
Concerned the province's Aggregate Resources Act (ARA) wouldn't be sufficient to protect farmland and water resources from such a large application, residents, community groups, along with environmental agencies and advocates from across Ontario began demanding an environmental assessment (EA) be ordered.
At first, it didn't appear that EA was forthcoming.
One particular remark from then-Natural Resources Minister Linda Jeffrey served to stoke the fire. She reportedly told Melancthon council the township could gain a golf course after Highland was done with the land.
The provincial government later, in September of 2011, ordered Highland's proposal to be subject to an environmental assessment (EA). Ever since then, all seemed to be quiet on the Highland front, until Wednesday.
"It has just become increasingly clear that there just isn't sufficient support to move forward with the approval process," said John Scherer, principal of The Highland Companies. "We made a business decision, The Highland Companies did, that the right thing to do is to pull the application."
That lack of support, Scherer explained, relates back to both the community and the provincial government. Asked whether Highland, which was still in the "preliminary stages" of the EA process, discovered its plans weren't environmental viability, Scherer said that has never been the case.
As this point, Highland plans to continue with its potato farming operations. Scherer, however, wouldn't confirm or deny whether the company would re-visit the aggregate application again in the future.
"We have not made any other decisions on anything else at this time," Scherer said, adding Highland will also cease any plans to re-develop Dufferin County's abandoned rail corridor. "Those are the only decisions we have made. The only things we're contemplating today."
The recent events have certainly left Melancthon Mayor Bill Hill lost for words. Ever since Highland filed its aggregate application several years ago, it has been a challenging battle for Melancthon council to climb.
"I'm just trying to digest it all myself," Hill said, minutes after speaking with Scherer. "Even though I'm not American, I wished him a good Thanksgiving. I know I'll enjoy my weekend a bit better."
At this point, Hill isn't going to worry too much about whether Highland, or another company, will submit another application in the future — "I'm going to take them at their word for now," he said.
Starting with a small town of about 2,835 residents, opposition to the quarry grew rapidly into a province-wide movement involving many of the major players across Ontario.
Environmental advocates, musicians, chefs, actors, politicians, some of whom may not have even heard of Melancthon before, certainly know about it now.
"As dumb as it is going to sound, it is like the little engine that could," Hill said. "This is a clear demonstration that people can be heard and can make a change. I'm honestly not sure what better example of that you'd want."
While many of those quarry opponents jumped on board as the issue became more prevalent in social media and made news headlines, Melancthon farmer Dale Rutledge has been there since the beginning.
When Highland offered to purchased his property for a little more than its market value several years ago, the proposal didn't pass Rutledge's smell test. At the time, Highland hadn't publicly announced its intent to mine in Melancthon, and Rutledge has been wary of the company's plans ever since.
"We thought from day one there were so many things that weren't right about it that this day would happen. That's what kept us going," he said. "Common sense seems to have prevailed."
The major drivers factoring into Highland's recent decision boiled down to what Scherer explained as a lack of support from the community and the province. Having to undergo an EA didn't help either.
"It certainly made the process a lot more difficult," Scherer said. "Obviously, we would have preferred a regulatory environment that didn't change midway through the process."
From Cosack's perspective, however, Highland's biggest mistake in this whole process was "arrogance." Perhaps the company underestimated the resolve of those fighting its proposal, he said.
"Ontarians really pulled together," Cosack said. "I'd challenge you to come up with any other issue that has brought as many people together as this has in recent memory. There hasn't been one that I can relate to."
Considering Ontario's need for close-to-market aggregate, Scherer stood by the merit of Highland's proposal. Given the public relations war that ensued, however, he felt Highland could have done a better job in engaging the public in a more direct manner from the onset.
"We could have done that better," Scherer admitted. "What we do know for sure is there is a need for good aggregate and our land is well suited and we just had to make a business decision."
On the financial front, Scherer declined to disclose how much money Highland has spent trying to move its aggregate operation forward. He also declined to disclose why and when former principal John Lowndes resigned from the company.
Meanwhile, NDACT isn't prepared to rest on its laurels. The group will continue to figure prominently into discussions with the province as it works to review the ARA and its provincial policy statement (PPS).
"Making sure that food and water remain first in politicians' thinking, I don't think that's going to go away," Cosack said. "Once the ARA protects prime agricultural food lands and source water regions from these types of development, we're all going to go and return to our normal lives."
During the last few years, NDACT has raised thousands of dollars in its fight against the proposed quarry, some of which include proceeds from several highly publicized events like Foodstock and Soupstock. NDACT hasn't discussed what it intends to do with that money at this point.
For the moment, Cosack, like many quarry opponents across Ontario, is soaking in the good news. That doesn't mean the fight is over yet.
"I do dare say I'm little cautious," Cosack said. "As much as this is over, I think we really need to remember that two years from now, they can sell this to … anybody else, and start it all over again."

Fiji hit back following their loss to Tonga by throwing the IRB Pacific Nations Cup wide open on Saturday, defeating Samoa 36-18.
Fiji responded to their loss to Tonga by throwing the IRB Pacific Nations Cup wide open on Saturday, beating Samoa 36-18 in Suva.
The talking point in Suva was the turnaround by the Fijians. With pressure on boss Sam Domoni, his side stepped up from the first whistle.
Both teams mixed it up in the middle but it was against the run of play that former Fiji sevens skipper Vereniki Goneva intercepted the ball from deep inside his 22 to sprint away for the opening try. Nicky Little's conversion made it 7-0.
However, two penalties by Tasesa Lavea and James So'oialo got the Samoans back into the match but Little added another penalty after Samoa infringed at scrum time to make it 10-6.
However, from a nothing kick Samoan wing Sailosi Tagicakibau gathered and broke away to score a try for his side and the visitors took a 11-10 lead.
Unforced errors were the downfall for both sides and there was further blow for Samoa as they lost Filipo Levi to the sin bin for stamping on a Fijian player.
This gave Fiji an added edge and the side managed to get a try just before half time through Campese Ma'afu after several phases of play. Little converted to make it 17-11 at half-time.
After the restart, Fiji cranked up another gear and outplayed Samoa in all facets, Goneva setting up inside centre Ravai Fatiaki for his first ever international try.
Little missed the conversion but Fiji led 22-11. Samoa threw on the replacements but to no avail as indecisive play was their main enemy.
The little chance Samoa had to come back was shattered when Fiji full back Taniela Rawaqa intercepted deep in his 22 to sprint away under the posts and replacement fly half Waisea Luveniyali added the extras to make it 29-11.
Samoa did score through Timoteo Iosa but Fijian lock and former Otago player Sekonaia Kalou pounced on a loose ball and beat the cover defenders for the final try, which was converted by Luveniyali for the final 36-18 score.
"We had an action plan that we had to follow through the week after the Tonga game to rectify all our mistakes," said Fiji coach Sam Domoni.
The scorers:
For Fiji:
Tries: Goneva, Ma'afu, Fatiaki, Rawaqa, Kalou
Con: Little 2, Luveniyali 2
Pen: Little
For Samoa:
Tries: Tagicakibau, Iosa
Con: Lavea
Pens: Lavea, So'oialo
Fiji: 15 Taniela Rawaqa, 14 Ilikena Bolakoro, 13 Albert Vulivuli, 12 Ravai Fatiaki, 11 Vereniki Goneva, 10 Nicky Little, 9 Nemia Serelevu, 8 Sakiusa Matadigo, 7 Malakai Ravulo, 6 Rupeni Nasiga, 5 Leone Nakarawa, 4 Sekonaia Kalou, 3 Deacon Manu (c), 2 Talemaitoga Tuapati, 1 Campese Ma'afu.
Replacements: 16 Viliame Veikoso, 17 Penijamini Makutu, 18 Josefa Domolailai, 19 Malakai Volau, 20 Vitori Buatava, 21 Waisea Luveniyali, 22 Adriu Delai.
Samoa: 15 James So'oialo, 14 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 13 George Pisi, 12 Seilala Mapusua (c), 11 Alesana Tuilagi, 10 Tusi Pisi, 9 Lualua Vailoaloa, 8 Taiasina Tuifua, 7 Manaia Salavea, 6 Ezra Taylor, 5 Daniel Leo, 4 Joe Tekori, 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Ti'i Paulo, 1 Sakaria Taulafo.
Replacements: 16 Ole Avei, 17 Logovii Mulipola, 18 Filipo Levi, 19 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 20 Uale Mai, 21 Tasesa Lavea, 22 Timoteo Iosua.

Bids were opened at the municipal building authority meeting on Sept. 2 for heating for the new steel building at the public safety complex. Commissioner Gary Kofford explained that the bids for heating and also the electrical were posted with the idea that the MBA would see how much these items would cost and then make a determination.
The bids for the heating were submitted by Rams Industry in Orangeville and Dugmore Heating in Ferron. Four 30 foot tube heaters at a cost of $1,450 each could be installed or two 30 foot tube heaters and a furnace for the office area. The bid also included $944.20 for gas piping. The total bid was $6,744 for the four tube furnaces and the piping was submitted by Rams Industry.
The bid submitted by Dugmore included five tube heaters for the building, piping and venting for a total of $9,575. It was determined that the bids for the tube furnaces needed more information as far as efficiency ratings and the matter was tabled until further input could be gathered.
The general service contract was approved with UP&L in the amount of $2,941.24 to install a transformer for the storage building.
The general service contract with Questar was also approved in the amount of $606.17. The road department will also dig the trench for the gas line which will reduce costs. Sinbad Construction will do the installation work on the pipe and risers. This line will run parallel to the water and sewer lines already installed.
The bids for the electrical installation of 12, 400 watt halogen lights, five or six incandescent lights and four outlets, one by each garage door were opened. A bid by Bell Electrical in Orangeville was submitted for $4,531.20. Lofthouse Electrical also submitted a bid in the amount of $3,500. D&L Electrical also submitted a bid in the amount of $3,500. It was determined that the bid from D&L was more complete and included a price for any additional outlets needed and the bid was awarded to D&L Electrical from Clawson.
The metal storage building has been completed on the public safety complex site and the final walk-through was a week ago.
Commissioner Ira Hatch inquired as to the available funds in the MBA. Commissioner Kofford indicated they had $120,000 after the last meeting, and with the bills being paid at this time; including approximately $7,000 for the heating when it is approved that approximately $85,000 would remain in the MBA account.
Commissioner Kofford mentioned that a mineral lease payment had been received last week in the amount of $160,000.
Commissioner Hatch said they should begin to think about having the funds available when the payment is due on the courts building in late March of 2004 in the amount of $350,000.
It was determined that Clerk/Auditor Bruce Funk would meet with the commissioners to discuss the payments and meeting deadlines.
CIB funds were obtained to finish projects at the public safety complex including asphalt and landscaping. Commissioner Kofford said there is an obligation to CIB to finish the projects for which the funds were originally earmarked.
Drainage problems at the public safety complex were discussed and Rex Funk at the road department has been working to see that some of these problems are alleviated. It was also determined that Sahara would be contacted about a large pond which collects when it rains.
Commissioner Hatch mentioned the many times the county road department has been at the complex to correct problems left by the contractor or unforeseen situations. The road department anticipates that snow removal from the courts and sheriff's parking lot will be difficult because of the curves involved.
Commissioner Kofford mentioned that the state courts wants to have an open house at the courts building in the near future and he wants the jail facility open for tours also.

God Inc
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2003
Emmy winning comedian Paul Wagner plays 41 characters in this riotous high-tech, multi-screen comedy, skewering corporate America, war and religion in one hilarious stroke. A comedic tour-de-force.
Original Review:
This over ambitious show seemed doomed from the outset, thanks to a 35 minute delay in starting. And when it did get under way, the performance was completely impersonal, with no acknowledgement of the audience's presence.
Paul Wagner, a convincing actor, instead addressed only his characters, a series of shallow American stereotypes projected onto a screen: Bill Gates type geeks, Forest Gump type simpletons and Jewish type 'yadda, yadda my boy' type money-grabbers. References had little imagination and left the audience shifting uncomfortably in their seats.
Paul is a talented performer, but this format so obvious doesn't work on many levels. The American sports commentary and portrayal of Catholicism is universally accessible and the 'Tickle me Jesus' doll was amusing, but treading the well-worn boards of religion left some of the audience with no option but to walk out.
Did I want to leave, too? Well, is the Pope Catholic?

I had to walk out of this show. after the first appaulingly cringeworthy rendition of This Little Light Of Mine. I took advantage of the (very long) blackout and made a run for it. it was just...terrible. the stereotypes were awful, I regret spending any money on this show at all. God Inc..was dire, and yes, it started late for me too.
Toby Fox - 26/08/2003
This amazing satire on America's domination of the world held thought from the outset. If one gets through the immediately obvious shallowness of the characters you realise that the whole symbolism of the piece is reflected in great detail and accuracy in the presentation. It's supposed to be tacky, shallow and commercial as this is what the world is becoming. The title "God Inc" also details a lot about the contents of the piece. Paul Wagner's Jesus is exactly what American society in essence would love him to be and the fact God has an agent is as typical as anything else in the States nowadays. The lessons to be learnt from this piece is that some things have to say as they are. Some things do not need to become corporations or big business and trying to appeal to masses means some of the most meaningful lessons can be easily forgetten through greed. And I'm not even religious.

Hi everybody! Today is November 11, 2011: 11/11/11! Freaky, right?
Here is a trick to amaze your friends and family. Add your age to the last two digits of your birth year. The answer will be 11. For example, if you are 10 and were born in 2001 . . .
10 + 01 = 11
Try it. It will work with everyone born in this century. For people born in the 1900s, the answer will be 111 on account of we're older. Test it on your friends, your parents, your dog. (Wait, it might not work in dog years. But if it does, leave a Comment letting us know!)
I don't know why it works, but it does. It must be some fluke-y thing about 11, so Happy 11/11/11 Day! The numbers will never line up like this again in your lifetime unless you live another hundred years. Although . . . some people think the world is going to end in 2012. Personally, I'm not worried one bit. I think the world will still be around for 12/12/12 and beyond.

The Emery County Public Lands Council along with the US Forest Service took a field trip to examine ongoing projects on the Manti-LaSal National Forest. The first stop on the field trip was in the Pines area where the controlled burns of the last two years were examined.
Lance Sudweeks is a range specialist with the forest service. He said the purpose of the Pines burn was to remove the built up ponderosa needles. Ponderosa's naturally are fire tolerant. The ponderosa in the area were scorched, but it won't bother them at all. Two or three years ago in that area a lightning strike burned through but the area did well recovering. Fire is a natural occurence. The fire burned in a mosiac pattern through the undergrowth removing many of the fallen needles. The fire was not a hot fire and didn't burn any of the sage brush in the area. This year 1,100 acres have been burned in the Pines. Controlled burnings will take place every couple of years in this area.
Sudweeks said 10 men 80 feet apart went into the area and did the burning. Last year 1,500 acres were treated. The area will be burned again in 2009. If the results are favorable then burning will again be considered in a few years. NEPA has been completed on the whole area and burns can be conducted at the forest service's discretion in the area.
Kevin Albrecht who is a wildlife biologist for the forest service said the environmentalists had made comments on the burn project, but hadn't appealed it.
Sudweeks said, "Many of these trees are fire dependant for regeneration. The fire opens the pine cones and allows the seeds to establish." He also reported the Pines area serves as winter range for elk. Cattle are allowed in the area for three months beginning June 16 and there are 1,380 AUMs in the area. Cattle and sheep allotments are now split up, but during the 60s in the area the cows and sheep all ran together.
The group also looked at the subsidence cracks from underground mining activity. A large ponderosa tree had been uprooted and fallen next to the road from the subsidence. SUFCO mine owns the coal leases under the Pines area. SUFCO has never admitted being responsible for the subsidence and the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining hasn't assigned any blame in the situation either. But, farmers and ranchers surrounding Emery have already drawn their conclusion as to the cause of the subsidence.
Steps are being taken to deal with the loss of water in the area. SUFCO has installed water guzzlers in the area for wildlife and also cattle watering troughs. They send a water truck every day to refill the troughs. A major project will be undertaken to run a waterline from White Mountain to the flats of Wildcat and the Pines. This waterline will bring water to the ponds and troughs in the area for stock and wildlife watering. SUFCO is paying for the new waterline to be installed.
A sagebrush project is also taking place in the area to regenerate sagebrush stands. The sagebrush in the Pines and Wildcat areas has not seen the die off that has been seen in other areas.
The group moved to an area which had been timbered and Diane Cote, from the forest service explained to the group the advantages to timbering an area.
As old growth is taken out the aspen can regenerate itself. The aspen stands are more conducive to wildlife habitat and desirable for a forest area. The fuel load in a heavily timbered area can lead to fire which damages an area and takes years to recover. Conifers overtake aspen. Fur trees are not good sources of timber, but the spruce, even the dead ones are valuable timber. Aspen stands offer a good home to a diversity of species of wildlife and grasses.
Cote said some timber projects are not economically feasible for timber companies to bid on and harvest. Sometimes the forest service has to pay someone to remove the undesirable material for them. Even trees dead four-five years still make good house logs.
Bruce Wilson, the chairman of the public lands council asked Cote how long the dead trees in the forest might stand. She said the breakdown process is very slow and it depends on the size of the trees. Many of them can stand for 60 years after their death.
The lands council also toured the area of the Jungle Burn. This prescribed burn is a fuels reduction treatment project. It's estimated to have burned 5,500 acres, has escaped containment and is burning additional acreage.

Prices for Ocean Four Sunny Isles condos
are still down considerably since the all time high in 2007. However, with all the furor surrounding the current economic environment, it's no wonder that people are a bit shy about buying something as large as a new home. This is especially true for vacation properties or any homes that might be considered a luxury and not a necessity. There is no denying that the condos in Ocean Four would fit the luxury description, and so it's easy to see why sales may have been slow for the past year. All of that is changing as the shadow of the recession slowly slips away. Though there are still troubled times ahead, the worst is certainly over, and there are plenty of clues to support this fact.
Not Too Late to Get Great Prices in Ocean Four
What this means is that the prices for these apartments at Ocean Four will soon start to rise, but it's not too late to get a new home before this happens. If you take a look at the 14 homes that sold in the Oceans Four community in the last year, you'll see there is quite a difference between the asking price and the paid price, but that gap is closing quickly. It's still a buyers' market, to be sure, but that won't remain the case for too much longer. The prices are still well over $500,000 for most units, depending on the size and layout, but some can bring in more than $2,000,000. As you might imagine, these prices will rise as people discover they're ready to make luxury purchases again.
The number of Ocean 4 condos sold
in 2011
is drastically higher than those in the previous years. Since the mortgage crisis and the simultaneous recession, the prices for homes have lowered dramatically, and sales for these homes nearly came to a standstill. Of course, everyone needs a home, so there was some movement in the markets, but for the most part, people were only buying what they needed – not what they wanted. Ocean Four is certainly the type of home that everyone wants, and with the coming changes in the economy, people will be seeking it out. Don't you want to get in before anyone else can?
More Elegance for the Money
When you live in Ocean 4 Sunny Isles
you'll get the benefit of many great amenities. In fact, it's very much like resort living, if that's your cup of tea. You'll be able to enjoy the pools and fitness centers, as well as private beach access. The home interiors are some of the most beautiful you'll find in the Miami area. With designer touches throughout, upgraded lighting and countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances, Oceans Four brings you luxury on a more affordable level than some of the other complexes in the area. Though it's more affordable, that's no reason to believe it's less elegant.
Let Us Help You
If you're interested in learning more about the prices at Ocean Four and how you can take advantage of them, you can contact one of our qualified real estate agents at Sunny Realty. Please call toll free today – 1.877.368.2318 and we'll be glad to show you the units that fit your wants and needs and then help you through the negotiation process.

If you are a faculty member teaching a course, please follow these steps:
Step 1. Assess the SLOs Defined for Your Courses
You should already be familiar with your course SLOs because they are required to be on your syllabus (see the Academic Senate policy called "Course Overview" on this page). If you need to look up the SLOs for your course, most are available from the GCC Course Outlines web page.
Step 2. Submit the SLO Assessments
After you have assessed your students, there are two steps for completing and submitting assessments:
What Do I Need to Do to Submit Program PLOs?
For most areas, PLO submission follows the same process as SLO submission. If your area has not developed its own system for assessing program-level PLOs, then follow the steps below:

Jim Bond is Grandpa Simpson. Grandpa Simpson might have been a mover and shaker when young and still eager. He still belts out some classic lines of wisdom from time to time, but he is worn out. Expect him to provide a guiding hand on the lucky occasion, but he is over it. His heart is the right place but there is no leadership left in him.
Jerome Stocks is Eddie Haskell. He has a tendency for being insincerely courteous. When the spotlight is turned off his true side comes out. He is the most willing council member to put his own fortunes ahead of the citizens, and he does that in the backroom as much as possible so he doesn't have to take responsibility.
Maggie Houlihan is Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar has the biggest heart and wants to do right. Jar Jar is a trusted friend of the protectors of the free Galactic Republic. Jar Jar sometimes operates in a clumsy manner and Jar Jar isn't very good at figuring out who are the real friends of the free Republic. Jar Jar was willingly manipulated by the evil Sith into giving them exactly what they wanted.
Dan Dalager would be difficult to explain if it weren't for W. Bush. Dan is George W. Bush. A great guy to have a beer with and to have in your community to help out. Not so good at being the Decider.
Both have loyal followers who judge them based only on their folksy persona. Both Dan and W. talk about principles of good government but don't always follow those principles. Both have grown the size of government and government debt, while telling everyone they are conservatives. Both spit out sound bites that sound good and don't seem to realize they are actually doing the opposite of what they say. Both played up religious beliefs to get elected. Both played up patriotism to get elected. Both helped their cronies attain positions of power and income. Both enjoy doing government favors for their friends. Both make backroom deals. Both pretzled the truth during their election campaigns. Both react poorly to opposing viewpoints and resent their decisions being questioned. Both are enemies of open government.
Both have accumulated a group of former supporters who now realize that support for Dan and Bush was a big mistake.
It should be no surprise that Dan was a fan of W. Bush.

Prob cromarti only one that panned out. You think Reid gets fired? How can you take on that many star studded players and already have Jackson, Vick, McCoy, avant, cole, maclin, celek, peters in the fold and fail like he did.
So far his record with this Allstar dynasty dream team is 11-16.... And it's only that good cause they got on a roll last season and won last 4 or 5 to close season against some bad teams.. Also can't remember a team with this much talent turning the ball over so much
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!

I'm In Love With Caruso!!!!I don't usually write reviews on online purchased but I felt the need to this time. After much consideration, reading many reviews, and watching many videos I must say....I love the Caruso roller system!!! I was skeptical about how these rollers would work on African-American hair but it works wonderfully. My hair is very soft and bouncy. One thing I would recommend for those with curly, thick, or frizzy hair is to blow dry your hair on low once you take the rollers. Don't comb, brush, or style until your hair is COMPLETELY dry to eliminate frizz. I also love how they supply you with a carrying case, thorough instructions on how to use it, a styling guide, and label all the rollers so you'll know which one is which. Lastly, delivery was quick. I order my Caruso rollers last Thursday and I received them today. Overall I would recommend this product to ANYBODY with ANY hair type. Once you buy this you won't regret it.Jul 12, 2011Noelle / Chicago, ILHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Lasting Curls At Last!My medium-long hair is as straight as a board! Blow-drying with a smaller sized brush gives me only a slight curve. Styling products, such as mousse and gel don't help much, either. But the Caruso Salon Pro 30 Molecular Steam Hairsetter gives amazing results! I now can have waves and curls! The setter heats up quickly and curling your hair is quick too! You can actually take the first curlers out almost immediately after getting the last ones in. (If your hair is long or thick, you may want to blow it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes to make sure any residual moisture from the steam is gone.)
I love finally having the option to have a head full of wavy hair. And, surprisingly, there is usually a little curl left the next day. The steamer is small and the curlers very light, making it great for travel. I highly recommend this product.Feb 28, 2011Marilyn / ColoradoHAIR TYPEAuburn / Normal Hair

Curlers Of The CenturyOMG, bought my first set in the 80's and they lasted until the 2000's. I didn't know they made them anymore so I went without. A couple years ago I found a complete set at the thrift store and having been using them since. Today I got online to find my daughter her own set and was thrilled they are still being made. We LOVE these curlers. They work everyday rain, humidity and shine.

These Rollers Really Work!I love my new Caruso rollers - but - I have not been able to find a hair care product that will increase the days that the curl stays in. Does someone out there have a recommendation for me? I have shoulder length, layered, fine straight hair.

Tenacious ReliabilityI've used this for 20 years and it has finally began it's slow desent into recycleville. My hair has been permed to the point of just frizz and this steam curler restored and managed my hair incredibly and now that my hair is straight it works fantastic still. (When it worked lately.) I can't wait to get a new one. I've had my hair and skin license for 20 years and it depends on how one wraps the hair and its great for a facials.Try witch hazel with it, it conditions and use hair product before the wrapping.more curlers with the set is a must and more large ones.

After Ten Years, We're Still Together ...I've had these steam rollers for about 10 years. they still work just the same - no heater issues, no crimps from the roller cap that holds them to your hair while it's heating the curl. I've loved these for ages, but I'm thinking i'd like to get a set of hot rollers (dry) because of the little decrease in preparation. I have been clumsy a couple of times before and tipped over the steamer, only to catch it with my bare hands - severe burns! Don't try to catch it - let it fall! lol
But bottom line - these are great! Never a problem in ten years!Sep 8, 2010Ellen / Forest, ON CanadaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

The curlers work wonderfully once they are in your hair.....the problem is getting them there! I owned an older model that worked great but decided to update to the newer one. The slant of the new model prevents the wand from staying on for additional heating. I have burned my fingers numerous times while trying to balance it on the top. I may go back to my old model.

Awesome CurlersI was hestitant to how the steam would work on African-american hair. Wasn't sure if it would make it frizzy or how long it would last but these are great. Use end papers and it keeps the ends from getting frizzy. No damage and the curls last for days. I love these and they're super fast to useMar 11, 2010Pamela

Accurate custom fit and great quality.
Reviewed By Arthur B (Columbia, MD) Reviewed for a 2015 BMW X5 —6/18/2015 5:47 AM
So far I have been impressed with the fit and quality of this sunshade. It's far superior to the generic shades found in auto parts stores. The coverage pillar to pillar is excellent, and vertical coverage is good after the sun visors are folded down to hold the shade in place. I would definitely recommend this product.

Welcome, Mayor! Welcome, concerned citizen!
Peace is precious! Cities Are Not Targets!
When a city becomes a battleground, everything generations of mayors and citizens have worked so hard to build is destroyed. When international stability is said to depend on mutual assured destruction, the hostages – cities – are in grave danger.
Mayors for Peace is the leading international organization devoted to protecting cities from the scourge of war and mass destruction.
From 2014 to 2015, the work of the 2020 Vision Campaign is being carried forward through four projects. They are listed in white in the website banner above. Your participation in any one or all four of the projects would be welcomed. Not sure which campaign projects are the ones for you and your city? Check here.

Yes, we can finally wear white jeans like crazy, especially since it's after Memorial Day. For many social rebels out there, wearing white at the first hint of summer heat was a good enough excuse. Don't have any white denim in your closet? Perhaps you're a bit unsure how to pair white jeans with summer's hottest trends and accessories? I understand. Coming from a gal who had way too many black clothes in the closet, it can be scary to get out of your comfort zone.
Take a look at what's out right now. Many fashion labels are cautiously rolling out a couple of white denim statement pieces that anybody can add to their jeans closet. Do you like super skinny jeans? Are you a petite height? Do you want to find an office to evening pair of white denim trousers? Or maybe you want something more rocked out and pool party friendly? No worries. There are so many styles available now — even online — it will make your head spin. For summer, white denim will go fabulously with the season's neon trend. Look for tops that are accented with neon stripes or trim. Just don't end up wearing something that makes you look like a school crossing guard. Not into neon? Your safe bet would be tan leather platform shoes or airy, black sandals. White shoes are okay, too. Just be sure to break up your white a bit. What's the point in wearing white denim jeans if you're going to look like a Fashionista moonlighting as a painter? Dress to get noticed!
What's also great about white denim is, you can extend the wear beyond the summer. Wearing white jeans in the fall is absolutely acceptable. I'm planning on wearing my white jeans into the fall, when I get into a genteel mood to meet friends for afternoon tea or for a walk through some botanical gardens. As a Gemini, I do have my frisky, edgy side, so I'll need my rocker wannabe jeans that will go with a leather jacket or kick-your-face-in boots. White goes with any colorful top; and white jeans go well with more mellow fall tones, such as tan, gray, and even black. It's all in your attitude baby!

The Local Emergency planning committee met in their regularly scheduled meeting on July 13 at the training room of the Emery County Sheriff's Office.
Chris Gravett was the featured guest speaker from the American Red Cross. The unit that covers Emery County in an emergency is based out of Provo. Any services and supplies will come from there and their response time is 1.5-2 hours depending on the emergency they are responding to and its scope.
The Red Cross has a number of volunteers and they would like to develop a good working relationship with the cities and towns in Emery County.
A discussion was held of where shelters would be located in the county. Local secondary schools are good choices because they have shower facilities and approved lunch rooms. Recently in school board meeting an agreement was signed with the school board to use these facilities should the need arise. It was pointed out that training must take place for those who will operate these shelters. The training will be scheduled for Sept. 28 at 3 p.m. at the Sheriff's Office. Anyone wishing to participate in this training is welcome.
The Red Cross will respond regardless of the scale of the disaster. They will respond to a house fire and displaced people due to flood, fire or other circumstances even if it isn't on a large scale. The Red Cross will supply the shelters with food, water, cots and other emergency items. They also provide mental health counseling for those going through difficult circumstances.
Capt. Kyle Ekker said they will need all the information about the Red Cross services to include in Emery County's Emergency Operations Plan which is being worked on at the current time. The contact information numbers will need to be included in the plan. The number for Gravett is 435-637-5505 and 435-610-1893. The Provo Red Cross office is 801-373-8580.
When a disaster occurs the reporting party will call into the Red Cross office and whoever is on duty will take down the information and an address where they need to respond.
Gravett pointed out a pre-arranged meeting place is good to have set ahead of time for smaller disasters. Senior Citizen centers can be used for smaller disasters. Julie Johansen from Castle Dale City suggested the Children's Justice Center in Castle Dale also because it doesn't get much use.
The CERT teams can be used to operate the shelters, but they will need the training on operating a shelter. Information about the online course will be sent to committee members so they can take that online training before the actual training session in September. You will have to pass a quiz at the end of the training before you can be certified.
Capt. Ekker gave an update about the flooding that took place in the county during the spring and early summer. Projections were the Green River could run as high as 60,000 cfs. The most water it had run in the past was in 1984 when it ran 48,300 cfs. After the high water of 1984 work was done on the banks of the Green. Predictions were it would hold up to 50,000 cfs but after that flooding would occur. There was a lot of water from snowpack and rains. The flooding began in May with the Green River golf course and low lying hay and watermelon fields. Sandbagging efforts held most of the water off the course. New water hazards formed on hole five. Pumps were used to remove water from the course. Fill and rocks were hauled in along the farms and to save some houses near the river. Sandbagging by volunteers also took place at homes along the river. There were worries about the diversion dam holding. An old gravel pit was reopened and fill dirt came from there to build dikes and berms to protect fields as much as possible. Capt. Ekker presented a slide show of pictures of the Green River flooding and how the water tried to enter former channels along the way.
Flooding also took place in Ferron at the Millsite Golf Course and in fields. Orangeville residents sustained damage to yards and basements when the canal failed above the subdivision. FEMA will be coming to the county to evaluate all the flood damage to see if federal funds can be made available to repair damages to infrastructure. These funds do not help private individuals. Capt. Ekker said the county would file as a whole for FEMA funds. The costs to the county for the flooding mitigation are $80,000 to date.
Smith thanked Capt. Ekker and the sheriff's office for all the time and effort put in to mitigate flooding problems in Green River.
The sheriff's office and XTO are working together for a mock disaster drill training in the near future. The health department is setting up a number of trainings. There will be a joint operators training on Aug. 3. They are also working with Carbon County Ambulance to have Life Flight come and do a training and it will be on the afternoon of Aug. 3 after the other training. Those who should attend this include EMS, coalition members, and Medical Reserve Corps are invited.
Smith reported in Green River they have been busy with flooding and also the nuclear power plant training. Melon Days is coming up in September. On Aug. 2 is National Night Out against crime and there will be a melon bust in the park that night.
Capt. Ekker reported the nuclear power plant is still moving along, but it is a slow process.
Chris Bardsley reported a new doctor, Dr. Donaldson, will be joining the Emery Medical Center on Aug. 1. He is originally from Lindon.
Mark Crane from Enviro Care reported they have 15 people on site at the Yellowstone River to clean up the crude oil spill there. It created a big mess that will take several months to clean-up. He said this spill is putting them shorthanded on other clean-up jobs.
Richard Moseley said there are several trainings available he can bring to the county. They cover haz-mat from the basic to the technicians. They can train local LEPC for haz-mat. He said he will bring several emergency response guides to be placed in all emergency vehicles including patrol cars, fire trucks, ambulances, etc. These are great handbooks with information on cleaning up all spills and the best practices for control and clean up.
Moseley said they are glad to help teach decontamination training also.
There were some questions on the new fireworks regulations. You must be 16 years old to purchase and must stay 30 feet away from structures. Some communities are imposing local restrictions due to dry conditions which can lead to fires.
The next LEPC meeting will be on Sept. 28 at 3 p.m. when the Red Cross will present the shelter operators training.
Those present included: Kyle Ekker-Emery County Sheriff's Office; Karen Smith-Green River City; Julie Johansen-Castle Dale City; Chris Bardsley-Emery Medical Center; Robby Donaldson-SEUHD; Martin Wilson-DPS-Division of Emergency Management; Rob Bertola-Summit Gas Gathering; Kisty Childs-Summit Gas Gathering; Bret Hansen-XTO Energy; Christy Addison-XTO Energy; Patsy Stoddard-Emery County Progress; Richard Moseley-DPS-fire marshal; Mark Crane-Enviro Care.

The Emery Spartans defeated the Carbon Dinos for the second time this season and continued to share the Region 8 lead with the Lehi Pioneers. Emery defeated Carbon by a score of 50-39 to take their record in region play to 4-1, the same as the Pioneers who defeated Delta the same night.
Emery started the game off like they were an offensive powerhouse as the outscored the Dinos 18-8 in the opening period. With good ball movement and stingy defense, the Spartans got out to a 9-0 lead. All five starters for Emery played a style of ball that we have not been accustomed to this season as they took it to the hoop and found pay dirt.
In the second quarter, Emery scored the first 5 points of the period enroute to holding Carbon to only 4 points while scoring 10 points of their own. Emery's defense forced Carbon into eight straight turnovers at the end of the period.
The second half was a very physical half of ball as the Carbon Dinos were determined to not go down without a fight (literally at one point). Many fouls were called on the Dinos and there probably should have been many more as they closely shadowed the Emery players.
Carbon outscored Emery in the fourth quarter 16-11 to close out the ball game. Coach Jeffs sent his sophomores in with one minute to go and a 15 point lead.
Leading scorer for the Spartans was Joey Bernard with 12 points including 6-6 at the free throw line. Davey Justice added 11 points. Also scoring for Emery were Darrin Winn with 9 points, Mike Blomquist with 7 points, Daniel Espino with 5 points, Josh Eden with 4 points and Bodee Marshall with 2 points.
Blomquist and Winn fouled out of the ballgame. Emery was 21-27 at the free throw line, 13-27 on 2-point shots and 1-4 behind the 3-point line. Emery had 12 steals in the game led by Espino's three. They also had four blocks and 27 rebounds. Winn led the way with eight rebounds, followed by Bernard with five rebounds and Blomquist with four rebounds.
Head Coach Todd Jeffs spoke after the game, "We played better tonight as we got a 20 point lead but we did not play to finish it. We've got to finish off games like this better. Carbon knew they were in a ball game tonight as our kids were ready to play at the start."
When asked to look ahead, he said "This win tonight guarantees us a play-off spot, now we have to keep going and make sure we get the home court for the first round of the play-offs. We got to get Delta next week since they snuck in a win over Lehi a couple of weeks ago."
Emery is on the road Wednesday at Delta and Friday at North Sanpete. Emery defeated both teams at home earlier.

The Emery High Lady Spartans won their first post-season game in quite awhile with an 8-3 victory over the Judge Memorial Catholic High School Bulldogs last Saturday at Uintah High School. Emery will now advance to the 3-A State tournament at the Valley Complex in Taylorsville this Thursday. Emery will play Uintah High School at 5:30 p.m. to start the three-day affair. The Valley complex is located at approximately 5100 South and 2700 West across from Taylorsville High School.
Emery scored a run in the first inning to take the early lead at 1-0. Emery scored two more runs in the second inning to lead 3-0. Three Emery errors in the fourth inning allowed Judge to tie the score at 3-3. Emery quickly responded with five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to lead 8-3 and then the Spartans closed out the game with good defense.
While the theme for the softball team all season has been 24 girls and four coaches working together to win, there were several standout performances this day. Leslee Lake pitched an outstanding game inspite of the home plate umpire having a very small strike zone. The umpire called it the same for both teams but if it wasn't right down the middle it wasn't a strike. Leslee is very good at hitting the corners and moving the ball around. Leslee did well even though she was limited on what she could do.
Jalee Jensen, Emery's leadoff batter, scored twice, singled twice, walked once and also had a double that scored a runner to lead the Emery offense. Bailey Kay hit a homerun in the fourth inning deep over the centerfield fence for the last runs of the game for Emery. Whitney Allen scored a run after walking, had a single and also had a double.
For region 8, Juan Diego joined Emery in winning their game Saturday. North Sanpete lost their first game and then won their second game of the day while the Carbon Dino's lost both of their games last Saturday. North Sanpete and Juan Diego will also play at the tournament this week.
In the first inning, Jalee walked, stole second base and scored on a Leslee Lake single into centerfield. In the second inning, Whitney walked to start the inning. After two Emery outs, Keera Allred singled and both Whitney and Keera scored on Jalee's double to the left centerfield fence. Adriane Weihing then walked and the inning was over when the Judge shortstop caught a shot off the bat of Chelsea Skinner.
In the fourth inning for Judge, the first two batters grounded out to the Emery pitcher. The next batter had an infield single and then the next batter got on base due an Emery error. After a soft single behind first base, another Emery error let another batter get on base and by the time it was over Judge had scored three runs to tie the score.
Emery responded right back and proved to themselves that they have what it takes to be a championship team. In their half of the fourth inning, Markette Tanner led off with a single and was sacrificed to second by Keera Allred. Jalee singled and scored Markette, Adriane Weihing singled to advance Jalee to third base. Jalee scored on a Chelsea Skinner single and then everybody scored on Bailey Kay's homerun shot. Whitney Allen followed the homer with a double off the left centerfield fence but did not score.
Emery had 11 base hits in the game while Judge had five base hits. Emery also got four walks while Judge got a single walk.
With the state tournament being a true double elimination affair, Emery will now play until they win it all or until they lose two. They do not expect to lose two. Good luck Lady Spartans.

Now that I think about it, I should have seen Rose appearing there, after Yumichika showed up, after all it seems that their Zanpakutous are both flower/plant types, in similar manner as Kensei's and Hisagi's are wind types (could this mean that after the war Yumichika will become Rose's VC ?).
The amount of Bankais that are currently around the S-ritter is 5 (2 confirmed, 1 broken, 2 suggested) ? This guy isn't going to survive this.
It's worth mentioning that Kensei's Zanpakutou isn't simply a wind type, but a hybrid of fire/explode type with the wind type, since the parts that are cut up by the wind, are then made to implode. It sounds a bit similar to what Bambietta had (only the medium is different), but instead of using the Reiatsu as a medium, Kensei uses wind or his knuckle blades.

USU professor and chief of the USGS Grand Canyon Research and Monitoring Center, Schmidt is the recipient of the 2009 Regional Director's Award for Natural Resources Research from the Intermountain Region Office of the National Park Service. He is featured speaker for Science Unwrapped's Friday, March 29 presentation, at 7 p.m. in the Eccles Science Learning Center auditorium.
"A River Run Through"
Flowing from headwaters in the Rocky Mountains, the 1,500-mile-long Colorado River travels through some of the most iconic and picturesque landscapes of the American West, including Grand Canyon National Park. But more than 30 million people in the southwestern United States and another two million Mexican residents rely on the waterway and its tributaries for life-sustaining water and power. The Colorado and its western counterparts are caught in a precarious tug–of–war between competing, unrelenting interests that threaten the river's future.
Jack Schmidt, professor in USU's Department of Watershed Sciences and head of the U.S. Geological Survey's Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, has long studied the highly diverted river. He's among the team of scientists that designed a series of controlled releases of water from Glen Canyon Dam, starting in 1996, in an effort to restore habitats altered by the use of dams.
Schmidt will discuss his research and conservation efforts on the river and talk about the tough decisions U.S. citizens face in determining how to manage the Colorado.
It's up to us, he says, to decide what kind of river the Colorado and other western rivers will ultimately become.
"We want it all but we can't have it all," Schmidt says.
Following his talk, Science Unwrapped attendees are invited to enjoy free refreshments and a variety of hands-on learning activities.
Join us at 7 p.m. in the Emert Auditorium (Room 130) of the Eccles Science Learning Center.

Addressing the Needs of Working Families in Rural America
Last Wednesday, I participated in a regional forum of the White House Working Families Summit that was held at Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia. Coming from a small town in Southwest Georgia myself, I can relate to the unique challenges that rural Americans face. Growing up, my father worked seven days a week on our peanut and cattle farm with help from my mother. To make sure our family had a constant source of income and health insurance, my mother also worked off the farm at the local independent bank. I am fortunate to be the product of hard working parents who provided my sister and me with the best opportunities possible.
