In the "dark ages" before the introduction of NO2 BLACK, inducing long – lasting vasodilation was unheard of. In those days, athletes would supplement with L-Arginine with only marginal results. Here's why. L-Arginine certainly functions as the "fuel" for N.O. production; however, it's the "factories" that convert L-Arginine into N.O. that are the real problem. These "factories" are enzymes called "Nitric Oxide Synthase" (NOS) – and humans have a very limited supply of them. So, no matter how much L-Arginine we introduce into the system, its conversion into N.O. is completely dependent upon NOS availability. Fortunately, MRI found a way to "crack the code" of NOS up regulation with ACTINOS2. ACTINOS2 is a powerful whey fraction that multiplies the number – and activity – of NOS. More NOS equals far greater N.O. generating potential – 950% more to be exact. This unprecedented level of nitric oxide production requires a word more powerful than "vasodilation." MRI calls this extreme flow of N.O. – induced blood flow "hemodilation." NO2 BLACK takes hemodilation a step further with the sustained release technology pHylex9. pHylex 9 disperses the premium AAKG, alpha lipoic acid and ACTINOS2 over time. The "trickle" of compounds promotes the now famous "perpetual pump" – the muscle-engorging surge of blood flow that can last up to hours. You see, "plain" L-Arginine triggers only a scant 2 – 3 second "blip" of N.O. – then its gone. By incorporating pHylex9 into the formula, premium Arginine AKG is slowly introduced into the system – allowing for ongoing N.O. production. With the NO2 BLACK Full Cycle and NOS "Up-regulation," you can experience ferocious gains in size and strength fueled by the incredible power of hemodilation. Flash RecoveriesYour training is all about adding new lean muscle. And what "signals" the growth of that new muscle? Nitric oxide. So it stands to reason you want higher levels of nitric oxide maintained through extended periods of time. That's just what you get with NO2 Black. 950% higher levels than previously possible - sustained throughout the day! That's why thousands of bodybuilders - like you - are adding massive amounts of new muscle every day with NO2 Black."In-Gym" Muscle RecoveryHere's a scientific fact: The faster you start your recovery, the faster you add new muscle. With NO2 Black, you start to recover even before you leave the gym! How is this possible? MRI's new NOS Up-regulating technology - ACTINOS(2) - generates 950% higher nitric oxide levels. These "upper limit" levels of nitric oxide "hyper-dilate" the blood channels, driving vital recovery nutrients (like aminos and glucose/glycogen) to your muscles faster and in far greater quantities. And NO2 Black's extended-release technology ensures the continuous surge of those nutrients all day long. Even as you're lifting, the recovery nutrients are coursing to your muscle cells! If it weren't for the extended-release technology, NO2 Black wouldn't stand a chance of driving recovery because nitric oxide is a gas that becomes inert within 2-3 seconds. So the real key to nitric oxide's efficacy is MRI's pHylex9- extended release delivery technology.Skin Ripping Pumps - Lasting into Tomorrow!Every bodybuilder can tell you, you look your best right after a workout. It's when you're pumped to the maximum. It is the quick return on your investment of hard work in the gym.. Now with NO2 Black you can keep a good portion of that look into the next day!And keep in mind, pumps do more than look great. They're living (and impressive) proof of increased blood flow delivering vital "growth nutrients" to your muscles. That's why with NO2 Black, you just keep making gains day after day! And gains that you keep!At Last... Breaking the "NOS Barrier"Up-Regulating "NOS" Enzymes Yields 950% N.O. Increase Your body uses an enzyme called "Nitric Oxide Synthase" (NOS) to convert the arginine you supplement, or ingest, into nitric oxide. Two decades ago bodybuilders had only plain (not extended-release) arginine, today resurfacing as "fast" release nitric oxide generators. These products can be used as pre-workout boosters, but you will see little benefit in sustained muscle growth, pumps, and recoveries. That's because after arginine reacts with nitric oxide synthase to generate nitric oxide, you get a 2-3 second blip and the N.O. disappears. That's why MRI developed the original NO2 in 2002. That's when Arginine-AKG was placed in extended-release formula. Suddenly, users saw very good results. Now, 5 years later, for the first time with NO2 Black's "NOS Up-regulation," you have the "upper limit" levels of nitric oxide (950% greater) extended throughout the day! Now you can experience ferocious gains and watch your physique transforming from day to day!ACTINOS(2): NOS "Up-Regulating" TechnologyNO2 Black "Up-regulates" (creates more of) the body's NOS enzymes. NOS enzymes are what convert arginine into nitric oxide. Before NO2 Black, the body's limited amount of NOS prevented full generation of nitric oxide. But now with the added NOS, NO2 Black breaks the "NOS barrier" - creating 950% higher nitric oxide levels than historically possible. This sustained explosion of nitric oxide is what gives you the never-before-seen type of results.Breaking the NOS BarrierBefore NO2 Black, there was a natural "limit" to the amount of nitric oxide the human body could generate. That placed a limit on the results you could expect. Now, thanks to ACTINOS(2) - MRI's new NOS Up-regulating technology – NO2 Black is able to break the NOS Barrier - obliterating the previous limit of nitric oxide.Physiological Change – Starting TodayWe're finally witnessing the sheer physiological power that these upper limit levels of nitric oxide exert on your gains. With 950% higher levels than previously possible, no wonder users are reporting the biggest gains of their training lives. The best part is, you'll see and feel the overwhelming effects of NO2 Black after your first dose. The quick effect is attributed to ACTINOS(2)'s ability to quickly react with arginine alpha-ketoglutarate – so you feel a rapid shot of energy.pHylex9- Patented Extended-Release Delivery TechnologyNO2 Black employs MRI's famous pHylex9 delivery technology for hours of sustained release arginine-alpha ketoglutarate, alpha lipoic acid, and ACTINOS(2).About MRI Medical Research Institute (MRI) was founded in 1997 to develop nutraceuticals that combine novel active ingredients with cutting edge delivery technology so as to create the safest and most advanced performance products on the planet. MRI continues to push the limits of nutraceutical technology by providing exciting technology advancements in a growing number of product categories. Their products only make it to the shelf if they have been shown to help alter human metabolism and affect positive transformations in body composition and athletic performance. Most importantly, all MRI products are in keeping with their industry leading standards for quality and safety. Products are manufactured at audited facilities that adhere to the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices guidelines. All products pass tests for ingredient purity and integrity. They have relationships with NSF and the Banned Substances Control Group, non-profit agencies that test random lots of certain products and/or certify their manufacturing facilities.

This Amika curler allows you to quickly and easily create professional quality hairstyles while leaving your hair healthy, silky-smooth, hydrated, and in place all day or night!
Tourmaline is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat, which provides faster styling. Negative ions eliminate frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth, shiny hair. Far infrared heat easily penetrates hair for faster styling with less damage. Temperature remains constant curl after curl, allowing you to work quickly while attaining consistent results. The clip free curler will not tug or break hair.
amika—meaning "girlfriend" or "friend" in a number of languages—lives up to its name as hair's best friend. Designed in New York, amika creates intelligent products that encourage creativity and promote healthier hair. Infusing the latest technology with a creative edge, amika hair styling tools are born to perform and live to impress.
Does What I Heard It Would Do!Well, I should start off by saying, I have the type of hair that does NOT hold curls. My hair is smooth texture average thickness.
I watched a YouTube channel with a girl that does amazing hair-dos, she recommended this Amika True Tattoo Clip-Free Curler. She claimed people have even had two day curls with it.
Turned out to be true!
I didn't use any hair product at all, not even after curling with it.
On the THIRD day, I actually had to wash my curls/waves out!
I was impressed since I have such wimpy hair.
If I was to lose or break my Amika True Tattoo Clip-Free Curler for some reason, I would honestly spend the money to replace it.
Pros: Curls really did stay in all day (at least)!
Didn't have to use hairspray.
The tattoo design is awesome.
Cons: I burned the heck out of my fingers when using it the first time. I actually broke down and used the glove that is included to finish off curling my hair. It was fine after that.
The curls (on my hair type anyway) were more very significant, tight waves, rather than loopy ringlet type curls (some of you may consider that a pro! It looked very beachy and natural).

Quick, Easy, Really Great <3I have had this curling iron for about 2 months now. I had been searching for a long time for a clipless curling iron before hand, so I had done my research before making my purchase. To be honest, this is a really great curling iron. I am not very good with making new hairstyles, but you can do so much with a clipless iron, that you cannot do with a regular curling iron.
I have frizzy curly hair already, but sometimes, it is so hard to have defined curls, and this even helps me with that. You only need to hold it in your hair for a few seconds, and your hair comes out with beautiful, clean and very shine curls. I don't even use hairspray and they stay on for the whole day. I have a Sedu straightener and sometimes, my hair will not stay straight the whole day (that's how stubborn my hair is sometimes). And this curling iron actually eliminates frizz, defines very pretty and natural looking curls, with a very pretty shine.
I am actually looking into getting the Amika 3p because I would like more variety with smaller and larger curls, especially since they are tourmaline infused rods.
Over all very satisfied. If any downfall I have to complain about, it would have to be the awkward position of the on-off switch (wish it were a button).
one more thing
CAUTION this gets hot super duper quickly.. and when I say hot, i mean it. SUPER HOT.. First few times I was getting used to it, I got burned quite a few times. But after using it so much (close to 2-3 times a week), I find it easier to handle.
Really great product (:Apr 28, 2011Diana D. / San Antonio, TexasHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good On Even Fine Straight Hair!All my life I have been trying to curl my hair, and it always fell out within one hour. I use the medium curler from Amika now, and my curls stay in,(with the 2-1 hair spray), until the next time I wash my hair. I really love this and recommend it for women who have a difficult time keeping curls in their hair.Mar 13, 2010Jennifer

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Reporter
After winning the first 14 games of the year, the Emery Spartans went down to defeat for the first time 76-67 as the North Sanpete Hawks pulled off the upset in Mount Pleasant. Earlier in the week, the Spartans had defeated the Wasatch Wasps in a non-region game played at the Spartan Center 63-56.
On Wednesday night, Wasatch High went out to a one-point first quarter lead of 15-14 before the Emery Spartans outscored the Wasps by three in the second quarter to lead 31-29 at halftime.
The Spartans then outscored Wasatch in each of the second half quarters to win the game by seven. This game featured 21 three-point baskets, 10 by the Spartans and 11 by the Wasps. Emery was six for 13 at the free throw line while the Wasps were 10 for 16.
Chandler Pearson had a big night for the Spartans as he had 28 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. Bowie Jeffs had 16 points and eight assists for Emery. The Spartan scoring had contributions from Seth Powell with nine, Brandon Hansen with five, Mike Truman with three and Zeke Atwood with two.
And then came Friday night and the Hawks. Even though the Spartans again hit 10 three-pointers and improved their free throw shooting to 15 for 21, it just wasn't enough. The Emery Spartans could not overcome the free throws of the Hawks, as they hit 30 of 43, and their own cold shooting during stretches of this ball game. The Spartans actually scored one more field goal than the Hawks.
The Spartans again were led in scoring by Pearson with 28 points and Jeffs with 22 points. Powell, Truman, Hansen, Curt Jensen and Matt Stucki combined to contribute 17 points to the Emery offense.
The Emery record is now 14-1 for the season and 2-1 in region. The Spartans will be continuing region play as they host the Lehi Pioneers tomorrow night and travel to Carbon this Friday night. Game time both nights is 7 p.m. for varsity, 5:15 p.m.for JV and sophomores at 3:30 p.m.

Baad-a-Bing Baad-a- Boots!
"These shoes are great. I just had to toss almost all the boots I own, and I made the decision to switch from the cheap side of shoes, to the nicer side I knew would be bound to last longer. I purchased these as a casual comfy boot that could be worn during fall and winter weather. I really like them so far! The bottom part of the boot isn't layered in shearling, gives your feet some extra breathing room, though sometimes the lip of the attachment of the bottom to the top can get bent the wrong way when you slide your foot in. But its an easy fix! I would recommend these boots."

Cheaply made
"This purse didn't last me more than 3 months with everyday use. I love the looks of it, very cute purse. It was a bit difficult getting in and out of it and finding things inside, maybe why I don't like hobo bags. It ended up getting a hole in the lining on the inside and I ended up losing a lot of stuff to the interior of the purse. When I found out it was trapped inside and had a hard time getting it out without ripping it, I quickly threw the purse away. Sad, it's cute but I would never buy one again."

Insight into Flames drafting
Ryan Pike
June 06 2012 09:02AM
I had the opportunity to attend an event on Tuesday night held by the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto at the Palliser. The event was part of their Leadership Speakers Series and featured author Jason Farris, who's also an executive with the Dallas Stars, and Calgary Flames general manager Jay Feaster. Feaster is one of 35 general managers featured in Farris' new book, Behind the Moves: NHL General Managers Tell How Winners Are Built.
A Change in Philospohy
In addition to discussing the book and swapping hockey stories, Feaster chatted with members of the audience following the formal Q&A part of the evening. Since we're headed towards the draft, I asked him about the retention of Tod Button. (I've previously written here about Button's performance as head scout).
Feaster explained that a lot of the rationale lies in how players were being evaluated prior to past drafts. Right now, the Flames are looking at maximizing assets and getting the best player available – he cited a hypothetical: if the Flames thought a 5-foot-9 player was the best available, they'd take him even though they already have Paul Byron and Johnny Gaudreau in the organization, because not everyone is going to play for the Flames and assets can always be moved.
In addition, the Flames reportedly used to draft based on perceived need. In a past draft, for example, the Flames decided that they needed to draft an eventual replacement for an aging Rhett Warrener. (This could be referring to the 2005 drafting of Matt Pelech, although the Flames have drafted many big/physical/clunky d-men in the past.) Considering that the draft is such a crapshoot (and that drafting the "best player available" isn't a guarantee that you'll produce an NHL player), it's a bit unsurprising the Flames had such marginal success in the draft that they did considering the limitations they seemingly placed on themselves.
In this context, both the retention of Button and the Flames apparently improved drafting make a bit more sense. It's hard to conclude that Button (and his staff) weren't good at their jobs if they were given such narrow parameters to find and recruit players.
June 06 2012, 09:55AM
That certainly explains the about-face by the team since Feaster joined. Their draft last year looked nothing like most of the drafts under Darryl.
Here's hoping it continues.
I'll second that. It's impossible to evaluate scouts without knowing how involved the GM, etc, are in the decision-making processes.
In Future greats and Heartbreaks, for example, the author talks about how GMs would show up to only 1 or 2 games, maybe the WJC, for example, and either fall in love or hate a player based on those 1 or 2 games despite opinions to contrary derived from the year and a half previous that scouts had just spent watching said player.
Best player available is the only option as far as I'm concerned. As hard as drafting is, it's even harder to predict how long it will take a player to develop, if at all, and as stated, assets can always be moved.
I'm sure Tod views his continued employment as a chance at personal redemption.
while i agree that drafting the best player available is a good strategy it should it should not dictate everything. Best player should be used in the early rounds, the later rounds for "role" players. However, in Edmontons case the best player available may be a skilled Russian forward but they "need" a d-man. In cases like this you take that "asset" and trade it to get into another position. That is why the team should have "tanked" thus getting a better draft choice and then deciding is the best player available the best fit or can they turn it into something else. Getting small Euros is not always going to work, in fact small forwards rarely work in todays NHL.
June 06 2012, 12:54PM
I fully support the best-available strategy for the reasons stated by Feaster, with the caveat that if that player is not very likely to make it to the NHL (Russian for example), that should affect the choice.
The problem with the BPA statement is that it doesn't elaborate. Saying someone is the best player available is one thing, but given that the top 30 in a given draft year can vary widely from organization to organization, it would stand to reason that the variance for the rest of the draft class would vary as much, if not more so.
Prioritizing skill over size is a step in the right direction, in my opinion.
The Oilers drafted M.A. Pouliot ahead of Zach Parise because they felt that Pouliot was part of the Crosby equation as a linemate in junior, similar to Nemisz and Hall in Windsor. The Oilers felt they already had two small centers in Comrie and Marchant and didn't want to draft another.
Drafting by skill would have seen them select Parise and either leave him in junior or trade one of their other centers (Marchant was a pending UFA at the end of the year and left for Columbus with nothing in return for the Oilers) for further assets.
All thanks to Kevin Prendergast, current head scout for Hockey Canada.
I suspect that the Flames will have their hits and misses in the draft, as all teams do, but the change in philosophy and priorities ought to at least raise their prospect depth to a respectable level and with any luck they can find an occasional franchise player in the mix.
@ Rex - I suppose a person could come up with any number of different titles for draft strategies, but I think there's really only two that matter: BPA or By Position. Everything else is basically just depends on how teams prioritize different criteria. BPA just makes way more sense for reasons and examples already stated. Don't fret, Calgary moved the 19th pick that became Zajac and then took Chucko. And they played together on the same team.
As far as criteria, IMO, speed and skill are the top 2. If you can't keep up, you can't play, period. And guys with no skill (even those with speed), are easily acquired through other means.
After that it becomes size and character in no particular order.
June 07 2012, 10:30AM
I would very much prefer that the Flames draft in any way other than what ever the heck it was they were doing before. Personally, I see BPA as a solid strategy. If the player doesn't exactly fit the teams needs but if he has a ton of skill then you stand a better chance of using that player as trade bait to fulfill your teams needs.
I hope that made sense, night shift sucks and I'm very tired.

How to Help Her Through the Baby Blues and PPD
Approximately eight out of every 10 women experience the baby blues during the first two to three weeks postpartum and about 10 percent of new moms experience postpartum depression (PPD), a more severe form of depression that can last for months or even years and can become debilitating and dangerous. It can be frustrating and scary to watch your wife or girlfriend suffer with the baby blues or PPD, unable to make her feel better. But you can help her by being aware of the signs and symptoms and knowing where to find those who know what to do.
Baby Blues first appear three to four days after birth and usually last two to three weeks before resolving on their own. Symptoms include:
Postpartum Depression may occur anytime during the first few weeks to first year after birth. Many of the symptoms mirror the Baby Blues, but are more intense and longer lasting. Additional symptoms indicative of PPD include:
If you think your wife or girlfriend is experiencing PPD, it is vital you get her professional help as soon as possible. Do not wait for her to ask for help; she may not be able to. And do not wait for symptoms to get worse; she needs help now. If you notice these signs, talk to her about it. Ask her how she is feeling and what she is feeling. Tell her you think she is depressed and you want to help her. Call her obstetrician or contact a psychiatrist, therapist or other mental health professional.
In addition to getting your wife or girlfriend professional psychiatric help, you can play a big role in helping her to adjust to her new role as mom.
A postpartum mom needs your reassurance, affection without the expectation of sex, support, and above all your love.

As we begin our fifth watering season during the current drought, the Emery Water Conservancy District sponsored a landscape and irrigation seminar. The purpose of this seminar was to educate the users of large amounts of water for landscape watering.
Joseph Whittaker, water conservation specialist for the Bureau of Reclamation's Provo office taught the class and demonstrated methods of conserving water without losing the quality of your landscape.
Jack Rogers, Castle Dale city councilman, attended the class and said, "This class was so informative, not only for people with large landscapes, but for all the residents of Emery County. I approached Whittaker and requested that he come back and demonstrate to everyone in the county his methods of conserving water."
Rogers stated that if there is enough interest in the communities, on May 20, Whittaker will return to Emery County to teach a day and an evening class for the general public. This information will help the homeowners of the county to conserve water and also allow them to maintain their yards.
Whittaker will demonstrate how to test your own soil to determine the correct amount of water to use. Then, he will show the participants how to use food cans to evaluate the coverage of their sprinklers or sprinkling system. The cans are distributed around the sprinkling pattern and the water is then measured to determine the number of inches and the amount of time to achieve optimum watering. These methods will produce efficiency in water use and a healthier lawn in the process.
The soils in Emery County have already been tested and the bureau has determined average water usage for the efficient maintainence of a healthy lawn. If you are interested in attending the class, call Castle Dale City Hall, 381-2115.

The Lucky Craft Gunfish 135 is the largest member of the Gunfish series. It delivers a bigger profile, and the same great action. Its slim, tapered body design still allows it to walk the dog easily, and its uniquely shaped, cupped mouth allows it to pop and splash like a popper. The cupped mouth also catches water and splashes on each side of the walking motion for increased surface disturbance. Its advanced weight transfer system produces a classic single-knock sound as it moves across the water's surface, and also facilitates long distance casting capabilities. Equipped with three super sharp trebles and available in a range of proven colors, the Lucky Craft Gunfish delivers a bigger profile and the winning performance of the Gunfish series.

At the 2013 NJEA Convention, Commissioner Chris Cerf said again what he said two years ago: that poverty matters. And then, just like two years ago, he quickly contradicted himself.
"The idea that anybody thinks that poverty doesn't matter is inconceivable," Cerf said. "Of course it matters. Of course it is a huge predictor of academic and educational success. There's no doubt."
The commissioner said this to a room full of teachers and educational support professionals who couldn't agree more: many in the room teach in some of the most economically challenged communities in the state. They see the impact of poverty firsthand.
"But it's also true that schools matter," the commissioner continued.
In fact, it is true that the teacher has the most significant in-school impact on student achievement. Teachers indeed have a greater impact than textbooks, technology, curricula, facilities, and other in-school factors.
But the commissioner went further: "And to take the premise that poverty matters all the way to its most aggressive conclusion, which is, 'Hey, you know, what are you going to do about it because it is such a determinate?' I think is neither a leap that the facts suggest nor morality allows."
In other words, schools and students can do better than poverty would predict. So far, so good.
Cerf presented a graph that he said demonstrated that some "high-poverty" schools scored better on the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJASK) than some "low-poverty" schools.
The schools that had "overcome poverty" on Cerf's graph were ones where more than 60 percent of the student body was eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch, but that at least 65 percent had scored proficient on the NJASK. Conversely, Cerf's graph also included schools where less than 40 percent of the student body was eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, but less than 65 percent of the student body had scored at least proficient on the NJASK.
Cerf's graph displayed only the data that illustrated his point, filtering out the overwhelming data that proved the opposite point: a strong correlation between poverty and poor performance on the NJASK.
Despite the filtered data, Cerf's point is one with which any teacher would agree: there are things we can do in school that help overcome the impact of poverty. But what Cerf did not say in his presentation is significant.
He did not name the schools that scored against the overall trend and presented no analysis of what else these selected high-poverty schools had done that assisted them in performing comparatively well on the NJASK.
He did not break out the data from these schools that might give clues as to how they overcame the "huge predictor of academic and educational success" that he said poverty is. What was the average class size in these schools? How many students in these schools had participated in preschool? Were the schools clean, safe, and up to code? Did these students have comparatively better access to health care? Did the schools proactively facilitate family involvement? Did these schools provide other services that made them more involved in the community? Did they have staff members other than teachers providing services that were lacking in the other schools?
The commissioner addressed none of this.
Instead, his conclusion from the data was, "… there is a continuum of success, and we should continue to strive to move our instruction, to move our schools, to move our educational offerings, to a point where we move children who are faced with an unfair set of challenges or burdens, higher and better than we are today."
Yes, the teacher matters. Yes, instruction matters. Yes, we can be successful—and indeed we are—in some very challenging circumstances. But to overcome the impact of poverty, the state must also address poverty itself.
The commissioner would do well to study more about the schools that beat the odds than where they fall on one graph with key data selectively removed.

Emery County was recently awarded the Director's 4'C's award by the Bureau of Land Management. This is a national award given by the BLM which denotes consultation, cooperation and communication, all in the spirit of conservation. Ruth McCoard, planning specialist and public affairs officer for the Price office said, "This award is being presented to the citizens and the commissioners of Emery County for their more than a decade of partnering with the BLM."
Fran Cherry, who is the deputy director of the BLM traveled from Washington D.C. to be on hand to present the award to Emery County. Patrick Gubbins, field director for the Price BLM office introduced Cherry to the audience gathered at the Emery County Fair on Aug. 6. Cherry said the BLM wanted to recognize Emery County for working for the public lands and for their partnership with the BLM.
Gale Norton, director of the Department of the Interior selects the recipient of the award based on the 4'C's, consultation, cooperation, communication and conservation. Emery County has exemplified these four C's in their proactive approach to the preservation of the use of public lands. The Emery County Public Lands Council was developed in 1995 as an advocacy group to help solve problems on the public lands. They work out problems on the ground and also advocate use and protection.
"The public lands council is a great example of working together with the BLM. It is a vehicle to communicate and take care of the public lands. These are your lands and the emphasis has been on a local effort. During these last 10-12 years, the relationship between the BLM and the county has lost its animosity and we have become friends and family together to communicate, use and preserve our public lands and I hope this tradition continues," said Cherry.
Cherry said the BLM works closely with Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon on patrols of the BLM lands and Deputy Ray Jeffs does an excellent job patrolling the Swell.
"This award has been give 12 times in the BLM, but this is the first time it has been given to a county. I grew up in Carbon County," said Cherry. Drew Sitterud, chairman of the Emery County Commission accepted the award on behalf of the county. Sitterud said the county will continue to work with the BLM, especially as they work through the recently released resource management plan for the Price Resource area. "This award is for the citizens, for their love of the land and the way they have taken care of it," said Sitterud.
The present commissioners as well as past commissioners and county officials, Sheriff Guymon, Deputy Jeffs, Public Lands Director, Ray Petersen and others gathered for the presentation of the award to the county.
Dennis Worwood, public lands council chairman, was placed in charge of the award which will reside in the county building.

I'm pretty sure I have the best job in Emery County and probably one of the busiest. I've been extra busy this week as Corey has been out of the office; golfing in sunny Mesquite, but no I'm not jealous.
While she's been gone I have been covering some very fun events in the county.
Emery County is a really busy place at all times during the year and the Christmas season brings cause to celebrate and more events than usual.
I attended the Santa at the Bank yesterday and will go to another one today. This is where the school children make ornaments for the trees at the local Zions Bank branches and the bank makes a donation to the schools. It's a great activity and they always have yummy cookies which I for sure need.
Then later that night I attended the combined choir concert at Emery High with all the choirs from the junior highs and high school. This was a wonderful experience. I was sitting on the front row. I always try to get the front row. Most people avoid front rows, but when I'm working I think they are great.
It was so awesome to sit and listen to the wonderful music coming from these students. You could tell they had prepared very diligently for this performance.
I don't have a student in choir. But, I still get to go and listen and you should too. Sometimes I think we don't take advantage of the many opportunities out there in our communities where we can support our youth and other organizations.
Just because we don't have a child in choir or band or football or wrestling or speech or debate or basketball doesn't mean we can't go and enjoy watching other people's children.
I don't have a daughter that plays basketball, but I have sure seen my share of girls volleyball, basketball and whatever. It's very enjoyable to watch these young people work so hard to meet their goals.
At the girls basketball game the other night, I saw a couple who I knew didn't have any children or grandchildren playing, but they were there watching and supporting the team. I thought it was great.
If you never go to anything where you're not personally involved, I have to tell you that you are missing out. Find out when the school band and choir concerts are and athletic events. You'll be glad you did.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I have the best job in the county, it doesn't pay much, but the fringe benefits are really great and I never get tired of taking pictures of kids sitting on Santa's lap.
