The Emery County Commission met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 5. They considered a request from Joe Trenery of Ferron City for a building permit fee waiver for the reroofing of the small pavilion at the rodeo grounds. They are also installing a sprinkler system at the same time. These two projects are being completed with a CDBG grant. The commission approved the fee waiver.
Mary Huntington, personnel director presented the personnel items to the commission. She said Morris Sorensen, road department director had requested a merit increase for employee Wayde Nielsen. He previously received more responsibilities without a pay increase. The commission approved the increase. Commissioner Ira Hatch said, "Wayde is a crew leader in the road department and oversees the landfill." He said the change has worked out well and the pay increase is well deserved.
Huntington also asked for the approval of the resignation by Mark Seely from the road department as equipment operator and driver. The commission accepted this resignation effective Dec. 31. Two employees from dispatch, Maureen Copatch and Alexander O'Neil have completed six months and will receive a merit increase.
Huntington said Sheriff LaMar Guymon has requested a transfer for Jennifer Jensen from corrections secretary to the dispatch as she knows the department and the functions of the sheriff's office and is a good candidate for the position. If she fills this position then recruitment will begin for a corrections secretary. Commissioner Hatch said he would like to see the dispatch position advertised. Huntington advised she will advertise for the dispatch position.
County Clerk Brenda Dugmore presented the check edit list for the commission approval. She also reminded the department heads that all items purchased up to this time and any pending bills must be paid in December. Any new purchases can't be made until January due to closing out the 2006 budget year.
Elmo Town sent a letter requesting a fee waiver for the building permit for their new town hall and fire station. Commissioner Drew Sitterud said they have been working on getting ready for this project for three years now and it will be constructed just west of the ball fields. The bid has already been awarded for the project. Elmo provides the city zoning clearance, but the plans for the facility need to be signed off by county building inspector Bob Bennett. Mike McCandless, planning and zoning director will make sure this has taken place before the project begins.
The commission approved the pass through grant for the Local Emergency Planning Committee, these funds come from the Homeland Security Emergency Management funds for local committees to better prepare and equip them for emergency response. Sgt. Martin Wilson is the county's emergency planner and coordinator.
Commissioner Sitterud explained that Nextel and Verizon will be combining their use at the tower on Horn Mountain. They will share a room and tower space which will work out good for both companies and for the county as they will take up less space on the tower. He also said they need to look at adding to the tower.
Public Lands Director Ray Petersen has begun the needed work on this with the US Forest Service.
In the commission reports, Commissioner Sitterud reported they have met with SITLA and Rep. Brad King and Sen. Mike Dmitrich on the gas royalties from SITLA tradeout lands. They are proposing a new way to take care of those royalties. Instead of the money going to CIB, the county who gave the lease would receive the funds and they could go directly into the general fund. Currently any money of that type would go directly to special service districts and not directly into the county fund. But, if SITLA acted as the special service district then the funds could go directly into the county. Commissioner Sitterud said this is just being looked at and it will take special legislative action before it could become a reality.
Commissioner Sitterud said they have been working on the statewide addressing where roads will keep the same name as they cross county lines. They are currently seeking funding from the governor's office to install signage with the common name of the road. For example, he said the Orangeville/Ephraim road is known as the Ephraim/Orangeville road when you're on the other side of the mountain. The common name will now be the Orangeville/Ephraim road in both counties.
Sheriff Guymon pointed out the need for new signs in Emery County which properly identify the new addressing system recently implemented by the county. Without proper signage the emergency vehicles are having a hard time locating certain addresses.
Commissioner Sitterud said they need to work on that and pay to have new signs made and installed. He also said on the expanded 911 system that Emery County's data base was accepted and work will begin on that in early January.
Sorensen pointed out that sign work is tough right now with frost in the ground.
Commissioner Hatch reported that the county has been involved in budget hearings for the past couple of weeks and they hope to finish up this week.
He said he and Mary Huntington along with treasurer Steve Barton attended the insurance pool meetings which were very informative.
In regards to the SITLA issue he felt confident that Sen. Dmitrich and Rep. King will introduce the legislation to have those funds delivered back to the counties. Mike McCandless also pointed out the 15 percent that is currently going to the special service districts will no longer go there if the funds go directly to the county. Commissioner Hatch said that was true and adjustments will have to be made to deal with that.
Commissioner Sitterud said things are still in the early planning stages and they aren't sure it's legal yet to do things this way. Commissioner Hatch said the way things are now, it would knock your PILT funds down if that money comes directly into the county which wouldn't be good either. "There are pluses and minuses either way. It won't show in this budget year, but it is moving forward," said Commissioner Hatch.
"We met with Ray and the signs for the OHV use on county roads are being ordered and will be installed by spring" continued Commissioner Hatch. He also reported the party for county senior citizens will be held on Dec. 7 and the county employees Christmas party will be held on Dec. 14. They will also give out gift certificates to county employees to be spent in county businesses.

Comments: This string is terrible. They broke the first day I played with them. Don't get these strings.
From: Cruze, 7/14
Comments: I got two of these Babolat N.VY strings from a recent tennis tournament of which Babolat was a
sponsor. The string felt very soft before I had it strung on my Head Extreme Pro -- so soft that I was curious how long it would
last. The string lasted just over an hour of continous hitting. Not a very durable string with very little power. I'm a power
baseline player.
From: Hugh, 10/13
Comments: From Dan and Chris's comments below, I finally was able to try this on my 2013 APD GT using the RPM
Blast 16 for the mains and N.VY 16 both at 62lbs. What a great combination -- I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. This had
great pop on the ball, awesome combo on power and spin. This will be my primary set-up.
From: Ray, 8/13
Comments: I now use RPM 17 and my cross base is N.VY 16. This is a great combination for power and spin and my
strings are very durable. I finally found my perfect combination for a hybrid.
From: Kyle, 11/12
Comments: I don't have a big tennis budget, and I have a tweaky elbow, so the local pro-shop recommended this
string. I use it across the whole bed @ 61-62 lbs. Even at that tension, these strings moved all over the place. It's not a big deal,
but it's very noticeable. I used these in my back up racquet and after about 9 sets, I managed to break them. I thought they
would last longer, but I guess all of that sliding around expedited breakage. Otherwise, I felt I had better control compared to the
Prince Syn Gut in my racquet (pre-strung) and I could hit out a bit more. I use a huge dampener so my racquet plays like a board
for most folks, but I like it that way.
From: Joe, 8/12
Comments: N.VY was my new favorite string in the crosses. However, I noticed that after 3 days of intense tennis,
the string started playing mushy. It didn't break, but it no longer had the feel that I was looking for. Thus, I am still looking for
that perfect combination.
From: Dan, 2/12
Comments: These strings move like crazy and a massive drop in tension after just a couple of sessions. It's
probably only good for hybrid purposes, but a big no no if you're thinking to have it as a full bed on your racquet.
From: Anon. 08/11
Comments: I had been using full RPM Blast 17g on my AeroPro Drive at 62lbs, and I absolutely loved it. But the
price of each string job was beginning to add up, so I began seeking a more cost effective alternative. I came across a set of N.vy
16g (blue) and decided to try it in a hybrid with RPM Blast in the mains (62lbs) and N.vy in the cross (62lbs). I absolutely loved the
setup. It played just like RPM Blast from the baseline, lots of spin and easy access to power without being too powerful. But at net,
it really impressed me. RPM Blast doesn't have much touch at net, but when I added N.vy that changed dramatically! I'm definitely
going to make this my primary setup in the long run!
From: Chris. 6/11
Comments: Wonderful on my old generation Babolat Pure Drive Plus. It's intensely FUN with
Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour (the yellow ones) mains with these N.VY as crosses; great control and comfort of the soft N.VY while
maintaining durability and spin with the Hurricane. My favorite string combo. BUT imo these strung alone may feel too powerful
and soft. I enjoy a crisp feel with some oomph so I go hybrid.
Strung @ 60lbs :) enjoy
From: Mike. 6/11
Comments: I hit with a great deal of topspin on my forehand and, partly as a result, have
been stringing my own racquets for decades. It was always much cheaper. I typically used Prince Synthetic gut or something like it
and would usually get 3-4 sets per racquet. I decided to switch up when I bought some new racquets recently. This Babolat string
is more than 2x the price but now, 3 or 4 racquets (strung) in, I'm only getting about 2 sets per racquet. It's ridiculous. Plays OK,
but I'm spending all my time stringing!
From: Drew. 6/11
Comments: It's really easy to string and feels great at 58 pounds. The only problem is that I broke the strings in
about 3 hours of play. I play Junior Champs Tournaments 4.5+ level heavy topspin baseliner.
From: Lorne, OR, USA. 4/11
Comments: This is a very durable cross string! Very soft and pockets the ball great. It has great power along with
control. All around a great string!
From: Anon, USA, 02/11
Comments: Wow, does this string pocket the ball well! I can angle the ball better and while still being crisp, the
string has great feel. Its great as a cross string in a PHT or Black code hybrid instead of a multifilament. 4.5 Power baseliner.
From: Jon, West Orange, NJ. 3/10
Comments: I don't have a lot of experience with string prior to this but compared to my generic racket, this string
in a new racket provides good pop as well as easy access to spin being strung at 59 lbs. I find it to be a pleasant string for
someone of my caliber. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a simple, durable string at any level of play. Like I said I am
fairly new to the game and even I can see the benefits in the string.
From: Andy, Princeton, MN, USA 11/09
Comments: I have some recent elbow problems so thought I would give it a try. I use 17 ga Luxilon Big Banger @ 54
lbs. in the mains and this 16 ga @ 59 in the crosses. I have only been playing with it about two weeks (3-4 times per wk) but so
far love the feel and have been pleasantly surprised with the durability. I am a medium to hard hitting player who uses constant
topspin on 90+% of my shots. The jury is still out due to length of time I have played with it but at present that is my only
reservation. I did not have the stringing problems that the previous person had. It did seem to stretch will I was stringing it (silent
partner electronic DG stringer) but hits wonderful so far.
From: Greg, Laurens, SC, USA. 9/09
Comments: Strung this up for a friend at mid tension in a Head FP radical oversize. He's a big strong lefty with a
monster serve. Its kind of a pain to string. It wanted to kink, wrap itself around the stringer, me etc.. I really had to watch what I
was doing. It did go through blocked holes OK, it wasn't grabby or sticky pulling the crosses, but the coil memory was intense
It did seem to lock in the tension pretty well.
He likes the feel and control he's getting and says its a comfortable hit. Not sure how long it will hold up but so far so good.

Day one of the Emery County fair is on Wed., Aug. 3. The fair will begin with a big, giant, yard sale. Fair organizers are encouraging everyone to bring items to sell at this event. You will need to bring your own tables.
The event will take place at the city park behind the old courthouse in Castle Dale. The streets will be blocked off and everyone will set their wares up in the street. The yard sale will run from 4 p.m. to dark.
The Museum of the San Rafael will be holding their San Rafael Folk Art Festival and entertainment will be ongoing at the museum.
Another highlight of the first day will be a free pig dinner. This will begin at 5 p.m. and run until the food is gone. The menu will include roast pig, gently pulled from the bones by master chefs. Potatoes, baked beans, rolls and dessert will complete the free feed. The pig is slow cooked in a smokehouse to lock in the flavor and it promises to be the most tender meat you've ever eaten.
Make plans to attend the first day of the fair and maybe go through your treasures to see what you can part with to sell at the giant yard sale. You don't need to call to preregister for a spot at the yard sale, but if you'd like more information call the recreation district at 381-2108.

Each of us has our own way of gaining positive energy to get through the day. When faced with a diagnosis of cancer, the little things become even more important. It could be your favorite music, a comfortable chair, your best friend, a pet that keeps you company or the sunshine streaming in through the window.
Recently, I began exploring poetry and found that as I was reading, I gained a peek into the author's thoughts and their view of life. Poetry can seem like a simple collection of words, but it expresses deep emotions and complex thoughts.
We've not done this before, but I thought it would be interesting to try sharing a few lines of poetry with each other to gain insight into the emotions of living with cancer. In this way, you'll know that you aren't alone.
Here are some thoughts that I put into poetry in the form of a haiku.
The wind blows the scent
from my grandmother's wild rose.
I feel love, hope, peace.
Please share your poetry on the blog with each other. Write about your emotions, feelings, fears, hopes and dreams. Don't worry about form or structure, just write what you feel. Spend 5-10 minutes quietly thinking and see what images or words come to your mind. When the time feels right, let the words flow.

Cancer will be the word of the past
Our researchers will find a cure that will last
Never give up any hope, always look ahead
Things that are changing is going to make cancer dead
Countless of people with this horrible disease
For the light that cast upon them, they shall be pleased
Never think for a second your life is over
Your life is in the hands of the beholder
For the scientists are like an instrument in God's hands
They have a gift to make everyone well as it stands
To make them healthy from this ailment
In all the time they have spent
They will develop a miracle pill
No matter what stage you're in, it will kill
Don't get discouraged, have faith
You will see it's worth the wait
Your doctor will call and say it's here
That miracle pill has arrived that will make cancer disappear
I dedicate this poem to everyone who has cancer, don't become saddened
Many are cured you're next and it will happen
My wife has lung cancer, no matter what the doctor may say
Reading different articles the cure for all cancers it's on its way
Never give up and say you're done
Have faith always, you will be the happy winning one
By Seymour Berger
Bittersweet the Sting
Full of promise, the pill slides down;
Reality fades as throbbing bones melt into bliss.
Mind still racing, tight muscles relax softly into the warmth.
Ears ring to a tune of their own as
Finally breathing slows with the beauty of slumber.
So often elusive, sleep takes control while
Dreams release a madness of their own.
Alas, the bitter pill has its own side effects.
By Denise
There's a back dot
atop my left hand
27 bones within unaffected in their precise movement
by that black dot
a circle the size of a hand rolled cig –
but my badge nevertheless.
placed there at the 1st Battle of my Roses
The longest battleday- over 10 hours,
drip, drip, slowly, then rapid heartbeat ,dt's , shakes
Cold- frigid cold, unwarmed by blankets,
Unhorsed I cried : "more , please more blankets" and
they eased the drugs slowly, slowly
then Maxwellian, drip, drip to the last drop
the fluids attacked…whom? what?
Russianlike, I engage a daily war
of Red and White armies not knowing , even now
not knowing whether I favor the Russian Red Army
or the White Army
I have a lovely lp of the Russian Red Army singing
I know about Snow White, white and even yellow snow.
A singular drop of water in a pool of blood
Life- force flowing ebbs into a wan pink
Spreading slowly sunset into its pond…
The War of leukocytes – G-d what an ugly word
I had to check it's spelling –white blood cells
from the Greek leucos, clear, white.
I shall be white lain on a white/ chrome table
and the leucos shall have won-.
I's rather they were spelled with a "d" - lewd-
Struck deep in my throat.
Lances drawn these white soldiers posted
Up and down thoracically
Jousting here, cutting there, causing an itch
Developing a cough to be visited by doctors in white
A white knight appeared – as is required for the joust
A nobleman, with his own horse and, at the signal
A sound I never did
They told me
"They got all"
After carving it
Neatly off my chest
And frying the rest
Leaving my other breast
Untouched by knife or
Destructive rays.
Stronger than the cancer
My prayers to Him --
He got it all!
Newly diagnosed. Hating the diagnosis, and all the decisions to be made. Most horrific to me of all about whether to have a double mastectomy. It hurts, an I hate it. But at the same time there is much beauty. I've met some of the most amazing people, and I can see that my God is using the situation for good purposes. I have a long road ahead, but I have a mighty God to walk through this valley with. (I still hate the cancer though. :-)
Poetry in motion. It's called LIFE. Time. A promise for the future.
Music sends me into a state of peace and serenity. It also strengthens my immune system. I refuse to acknowledge the word cancer and give it the power it seeks. Jon
Quiet hope streams through my cautious thoughts on Life
Bring me music to take me to happy, tranquil places

The 5th annual Maine Vegetarian Food Festival took place last Saturday at Portland's East End Community School. Hosted by the Maine Animal Coalition, this free event featured workshops on vegan cooking and raw diets, exhibitions by organic farming, fitness, and animal advocacy groups, and plenty of free samples.
In the last few months, Portland's growing appetite for vegan cuisine has made way for a raw vegan restaurant and two dairy-free bakeries. Representatives from the recently-opened GRO Cafe were mobbed by people scarfing down their handmade coconut-filled and chili-laced raw chocolates. Further down the rows of tables, I tried some cornbread and a brownie made by K's Vegan Treats, a bakery offering whole grain, sugar-free quickbreads, brownies, cookies, and cakes that will open later this summer in the Public Market House.
At the display of 13th Cookie, a bakery specializing in gluten-free, naturally-sweetened vegan confections, I tried a melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. 13th Cookie will open soon on Exchange Street, in the old Little Lad's basement location.
Green Elephant was present with samples of Southeast Asian appetizers. Silly's scooped up saucy barbequed tofu, and Pepperclub handed out samples of their airy cardamom cake and rich dark chocolate mousse. I tasted Cheezly, newly available in the US. I'm content to skip vegan cheeses altogether, but I was impressed by the authentic sharp cheddar flavor and the simplicity of the ingredients.
Over in the cafeteria, crowds were thick around a table of packaged snackfood samples. There seemed to be no plan directing the flow of foot traffic through the room; people approached the table from all sides to gather Lärabars, Veggie Booty, granola, and Primal Stick jerky. I tried to be polite and wait my turn, but caught in the melee of frenzied vegans, I nearly lost my temper and threw some elbows. Next year, a "start here" sign and a longer table might help.
Fearing we'd turn violent amid the agave-fueled crush, we left to have lunch at the calm, sleek Green Elephant. I don't need to review this restaurant: Green Elephant is the very embodiment of four chickpeas. I ordered steamed vegetables with peanut sauce, a healthy plate of broccoli, zucchini, sweet corn, snow peas, carrots, and green beans with a side of sweet marinated tempeh. Simple, but one of my favorites.
My husband's hot and sour noodle soup with rice noodles, bean sprouts, tofu, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, scallions, cilantro, peanuts, and fried wontons was even more photogenic:
The vegan scene is clearly alive and growing in Southern Maine, but seems stalled in northern and eastern parts of the state, where the economy and traditions are tied to animal agriculture and fishing. Central and downeast Maine made a modest showing at the food festival, with Kelp Krunch bars by Franklin's Maine Coast Sea Vegetables available, and Ahimsa Custom Cakes, an Auburn-based vegan bakery, displaying gorgeous photos and samples. I'm excited that Portland is embracing wholesome, compassionate eating, and over time I hope the trend spreads north. At next year's event, I'd love to see more vegan-friendly businesses from the rest of Maine get some love.

(COLUMBIA, Mo.) Stanberry captured their first 8-Man State Championship this fall. Now, many of the same athletes that hoisted that trophy are on the verge of picking up one more.
The Bulldogs continued their memorable run through the Class 1 postseason Thursday with a 51-47 win over Meadville in the semifinals.
Four players finished in double figures as Jacob Heddinger led the way with 11 points. Cole Gage, Nathan Luke, and Ryan Jensen all had 10.
Stanberry will face Eminence in the Class 1 State Championship Game at 6:50 p.m. on Saturday.

West stumbles, falls to Montrose on Friday the 13th
Big games are won by the team that makes big plays and avoids mistakes.
The showdown between the 3rd ranked Pueblo West Cyclones and the 4th ranked Montrose Indians featured a lot of big plays for both sides.
But the Cyclones made too many mistakes, and they dropped their home opener, 23-14.
The Cyclones knew they would have their hands full in their final non-conference game.
Coach Pinkerton and his staff welcome these early-season challenges against the state's best teams because it is the best way to prepare for the rugged Foothills League schedule, and a return to the playoffs.
And while they are clearly disappointed to have lost, the Cyclones can point to a lot of positive performances in this game.
The offensive line continued to dominate.
Cody Ortiz, Brenton Martin, Josh Medeiros, Malik Jones, Keith Hed and Dean Thompson paved the way for the Cyclones backs to rush for 305 yards on 52 carries. Senior quarterback Zac Drury led the team in rushing with 176 yards on 21 carries.
Sophomore Shane Larson got his first varsity start at running back, replacing the injured Cameron Clough. Larson rushed for 78 yards on 14 carries, and added 79 yards on four kick-off returns for a total of 157 all-purpose yards. Fullback Kaden Wills added 47 yards rushing and 10 yards receiving, and Ryan Olson ran once for 4 yards and had one reception for 15 yards.
The Cyclones defense stood tall against a very powerful and fast offense.
West defenders held one of the state's leading rushers, Mike Rocha, to just 95 yards, (24 yards in the second half), and they forced two big turnovers with their backs against the goal line.
No doubt the Cyclones also learned some valuable lessons from this game.
Perhaps most importantly they learned how to play from behind.
Montrose struck quickly.
On the first play from scrimmage, Rocha sprinted to the outside and raced 63 yards to the Cyclones 4 yard line.
Rocha promptly caught a touchdown pass on the next play to put the Indians on top, 7-0.
On their next possession the Indians kicker Lucas Ruiz-Diaz connected on a 33-yard field goal, extending the lead to 10-0.
Despite being in an unfamiliar position, the Cyclones did not panic.
Their offensive line packed a lunch, and quarterback Zac Drury led his team on an impressive 80-yard scoring drive.
Drury did it with his feet and his arm, running for 24 yards on one play, passing to tight end Dean Thomson for a 25 yard gain on another, running for a 6-yard touchdown, and — for good measure — running for the successful two-point conversion.
Still trailing 10-8 late in the second quarter, the swarming Cyclones defense forced the Indians to go to the air.
Junior defensive back Cameron Vaughan intercepted a DeVincentis pass with only 56 seconds remaining in the first half.
On the very next play, Drury broke loose for another long run, and looked like he would score the go-ahead touchdown.
But the Indians knocked the ball out at the 10 yard line, and the Cyclones went to the locker room trailing for the first time this season.
Both teams made successful adjustments at half-time. Montrose counter-attacked by running outside of the tackles. With a fresh set of legs, the Indians Peter Shearer rumbled for 41 yards on the first drive of the second half.
Nick Foster completed it with a 5 yard touchdown run to give the Indians a 16-8 lead.
But the Cyclones pulled themselves off the mat again. After a 28 yard kickoff return from Sophomore Shane Larson, Drury called his own number.
It was the perfect call since the Indians had loaded the box with 10 players to stop the Cyclones running game.
Drury ran off his center's hip, slipped into the second level, looked up, and saw nothing but 66 yards of brand new Field Turf between himself and the goal line.
The home crowd went wild as he sprinted to the end zone.
The Cyclones came up just short on the two-point try, but had pulled to within two at 16-14.
Momentum remained with the Cyclones on the ensuing kickoff.
Two Indians penalties allowed the Cyclones Brandon Summer to kick from the Indians 40 yard line. Summer delivered a text-book on-side-kick that bounced high and right into the arms of his teammate, Josh Casias.
The Cyclones were already in field goal range, and in a great position to take the lead.
But then the wheels fell off.
The Montrose defense turned up the heat and sacked Drury for a 22 yard loss.
The Cyclones were out of field goal range—and out of sorts for the remainder of the game.
A series of penalties late in the game were just part of the Cyclones undoing.
On a fourth down play deep in their own territory, the Cyclones appeared to have held the Indians to only a field goal attempt.
But a personal foul gave the Indians new life.
Rocha rumbled into the end zone from 11 yards out, on the next play and the Indians had a two possession lead.
A blocked punt and an interception on the final two series sealed the Cyclones fate.
Some may say it was the "Friday the 13th Curse".
Perhaps it was.
But one thing is certain.
The Cyclone coaches and players won't be making any excuses.
They will learn from their mistakes and build on their strengths.
They will extenuate the positive and remain focused on their ultimate goal.
You can take it to the bank. Come full-moon or high water ... the Cyclones will be ready for their first league game at Widefield this Friday.

Paua Shell (Abalone)
Paua shell features vibrant color variations of blue, green, silver, pink, purple and mother-of-pearl. Although its rough exterior is black, paua's interior is the most colorful type of abalone shell in the world. Its iridescent patterns even change color when viewed from different angles. Because color range and patterns vary from shell to shell, each piece of paua is unique and one-of-a-kind.
Paua is a species of abalone that is found only in the seas around New Zealand. It has larger cousins located around the world, such as in California and Japan, but those species aren't as colorful. Paua's unique coloring is produced from the rich volcanic sediments found within the unpolluted southern New Zealand waters. They are marine mollusks that eat seaweed and cling to rocks at depths of one to ten meters. The holes in the shells are for breathing and reproduction. Starfish are paua's main predator and can suffocate the shellfish by putting their tentacles over the breathing holes, forcing it to let go of the rock.
Used for food since ancient times, paua meat is considered a delicacy. The exquisite shells used for ornamentation are simply natural by-products. The New Zealand government strictly controls the harvesting of abalone to ensure the sustainability of this natural resource. It has enforced a quota system for the gathering of paua by both commercial and individual fishermen. Paua fishers must free-dive to pry the mollusks from the rocks, as no compressed air diving is allowed. Moreover, all paua that is gathered must be no smaller than five inches in size. There are stiff penalties for those caught removing undersize shells.
Pacific Rim cultures have considered paua shell a symbol of good fortune and believe it to have powers as an aphrodisiac. Some believe that wearing paua shell aids in creativity and calming. Folklore identifies paua with beauty, physical strength and power. It is believed to improve self-image and increase personal strength and endurance.

Runs very small..but still adorable!
"I saw these in the clearance section at my DSW in my size. I was so excited!..only to try them on and realize that they were way too small. I could barely get my foot in the shoe. So I came on DSW's website and saw them and ordered them in a full size larger (I wear a 9 but ordered a 10). They came and I tried them on. I could have probably even gotten a 10.5 because the 10s still seem just a little too snug..definitely will not be able to wear them with sock. But, I kept them and the first time I wore them they gave me a bad blister on my pinky toe. Over the past couple of weeks wearing them though, they've gotten better. They are too cute to have returned!"

A thousand years ago around this time families from all over Iceland followed a network of trails to Thingvellir. They walked along glacial valleys, over hills or along the coast. Some took more than two weeks to make the journey.
Thingvillir is a rift valley, part of the mid-Atlantic ridge. The longest mountain range in the world, only one part of which pokes above the ocean -- Iceland. And Iceland it's the only mountain range with a valley on top. This is the place where Iceland is coming apart, where the tectonic forces that gave birth to this island 20 million years ago are pulling the island apart.
Thingvellir is where the North American plate and the Eurasian plates move away from each other at the blistering speed of 2 centimetres a year. It is also the site of the first and longest running European Parliament, as Icelanders are pleased to point out.
From 930 to 1262 AD, when Iceland came under the suzerainty of the Norwegian king, people gathered to hear the laws spoken, settle disputes, sell and trade and -- perhaps most important -- find spouses. The latter was especially important in a country that had no villages or towns. People lived in scattered farms and there was little opportunity for sustained social contact.
But why here? Is there something special about Thingvellir? From the edges of the North American plate one looks out over Thingvallavatn, the largest lake in the country, with its distinctive volcanic islands. In the distance, a dark crease marks the side of another eroded volcanic ridge -- the edge of the Eurasian plate. No one knows for sure what first brought people here but the place has a natural acoustic quality that would have allowed voices to carry. I has fresh water. And, when it is quiet and deserted this UNESCO World Heritage Site has a feeling of power about it that is hard to describe. Maybe it's the geological forces beneath your feet. Or maybe it comes from imagining what the place would have looked like invaded by several thousand medieval Icelanders in homespun and fur, carrying their goods and weapons (which were not taken into the meeting area) on small, sturdy Icelandic horses.
Today is a different kind of invasion -- 125 students and educators led by Icelandic scholar, poet and rock climber Ari Trausti Gudmundsson. Ari tells us about this place and its geological and historical importance. We are moving from what author and educator James Raffan calls "public knowledge" to "personal knowledge". Raffan, who has written nearly 20 books and is now on a journey tracing the Arctic Circle, explained that "personal knowledge is the knowledge that derives from action."
It is the philosophy that Students on Ice lives by. Over 11 years, SOI has taken more than 1600 young people to the Arctic and Antarctic. These students are not passive receptacles into which the educators onboard pour knowledge into, although there are a lot of lectures and lessons over the next two weeks. Rather, they will be agents of their own learning. Just as they have been doing in Iceland, in the Arctic the real learning will happen through whatever connection they make to the places they will be in.
And those connections will come in unexpected ways, as happened at Thingvellir. The Iceland Government declared a minute of silence to honour the victims of last week's bombing and shooting rampage in Oslo. It wasn't lost on the students that most of the victims were around their age.
Words ceased. Heads bowed. Silence in Thingvellir.

However, they were TINY, so I sent them back for an an 8. The 8 fit perfectly but the toe bed is still very narrow. I don't have a wide food or fat toes, it's the "pointed" look of the toe on these shoes which make it look like my toe is hanging over (it's not).A small detail that is easily overlooked for the price and style."

Though the people of Israel have rebelled, yet in the last days the Lord will have mercy on them—He will have compassion and pardon their iniquities.
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

Why Did Water Come Out Of The Bottle
Steve Lawson talks about "Blessed Purity."
Handel's Messiah is one of the most beloved musical works of the western world, playing an especially sentimental role in many people's Christmas traditions. The libretto of the work, taken directly from the King James text of fourteen books of the Bible, has turned many otherwise forgettable phrases into memorable, singable, cherished lines of Scripture.This gift-worthy book will delight and inspire classical music fans and those for whom Messiah is a beloved Christmas tradition with essays exploring the theological, historical, and pastoral implications of the Scriptures that make up Handel's Messiah.

This article is a reprint from the Summer 2008 edition of USA-All Access Advocate. It is being reprinted with permission of the author and executive director of USA-All, Michael Swenson.
Have you ever wondered what measures are being undertaken to restrict your access to public land in Utah? Well hang on to your hat because I am going to give you the scoop. I must warn you the information you are about to read may be alarming and troublesome to say the least. Radical groups that are collectively and erroneously often called "environmentalists" have been busy beavers lately. This article will shed some light on the truth about one particular organization that has long threatened the citizens of Utah and the public's ability to enjoy and even protect public land.
The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance often referred to by the acronym SUWA. Ironically enunciating the acronym sounds an awful lot like "SUE-YA" perhaps because they seem to love to, well, sue ya, or at least sue the state of Utah, various counties, and certainly federal land management agencies. SUWA was established in 1983 to advocate for the protection of "wild" places in Utah. Their tool of choice for such protection was to convince congress to designate these wild places as wilderness. Wilderness is not a cute fuzzy term that means, "the great outdoors". It is a legal classification or designation of public land that basically allows certain places that have been largely untouched by man to remain that way. Land designated as wilderness is admitted into the Federal Wilderness Preservation System. The management scheme of such land is usually one of no management or hands off. Kind of like fencing an area off, locking the gate and throwing away the key. Access is extremely limited and by and large nature rules in these "wild" places. Land managers biggest concern in managing these places is keeping it untouched. Or in many cases in our state keeping people off roads, trails, air strips, old mine sites, you are now keeping any lasting signs of man from being created. Sound screwy? Read on. Letting nature rule and leave things "wild" and remote sounds nice to some. But when you're talking about places that have been heavily used by man before and after "wilderness" became a legal term and designation it's not such a nice thing. Wilderness became a legal designation under the Wilderness Preservation Act in 1964. It often means roads, campsites, and access to historical places, cultural sites, and scientific finds are in most cases prohibited. Access to such places can be so limited they may lose much of their value or meaning to society.
Since 1983 SUWA has pushed for ever greater amounts of wilderness designations in Utah. They have engaged in aggressive marketing campaigns and membership drives mostly in more sympathetic places outside of our state. As environmentalism became the new cool thing to do in the 1990's their membership rolls began to swell, as did their bank account. We have estimated SUWA's membership at around 14,000 members most of which we believe reside outside the state of Utah...seem fishy? It should. It begs the question, "why does this local organization that seeks to influence local management of public land have so few members and support from local Utahns"? and "Why aren't more Utahns involved"? Could it be that most Utahns recognize the problems with wilderness designations? Could it be that we recognize the harm it will clearly cause to rural communities?
SUWA has had various opportunities to get some of their beloved wild places designated as wilderness but because it involved compromising on other areas they have never accepted any of these proposals. In the past 25 years this group has yet to successfully convince Congress to designate one single acre as wilderness. They claim to have had a part in the recent Deep Creek Wilderness designation in the west desert but we all know that was a clever move by Congressman Rob Bishop to thwart nuclear waste disposal and transportation in that part of Utah. Despite their apparent inability to get wilderness designations here in Utah they have been successful in getting BLM to create defacto wilderness in the form of Wilderness Study Areas and the latest scheme called "Areas of Critical Environmental Concern." They also have been phenomenally successful in other areas such as fundraising, distorting the truth, and misleading the public and local media.
SUWA is a masterful propaganda machine. They are well funded and directed by many wealthy out of state figures. Two of their board members, Bert Fingerhut and Mark Ristow, were recently charged and convicted of federal crimes including bank fraud (http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2007/lr20118.htm)(http://www.404.gov/litigation/litreleases/2007/lr20292.htm). The Chair of their board of directors is a citizen of Switzerland and is one of the wealthiest people in the world. His name is Hansjorg Wyss. According to Wikipedia.com Wyss ranks #164 on the Forbes list of billionaires with a net worth of approximately $6 billion, making him the second richest person in Switzerland. It must be nice to have a sugar daddy with that deep of pockets. He also serves on the board of directors for the Wilderness Society and Grand Canyon Trust.
You know what they say about the company you keep and SUWA is no exception. In addition to the shady characters within their organization consider the groups they often partner with and tag team our government. Among their coconspirators are groups such as the Sierra Club, the Wilderness Society, and Grand Canyon Trust. Amazingly yet predictably the local media has not realized that this self proclaimed grass roots group is really a well funded corporate machine. They aren't the little local mom and pop grass roots club that is trying to save public land from the evil corporate oil companies and the wild eyed red neck off-roaders. They certainly would like the rest of the world to believe they are the local underdog cause fighting corporate America and uneducated gun clinging rednecks but that isn't the case. They are in fact a monstrosity of propaganda, litigation, and to be sure a profitable corporation. To help illustrate this we found their public tax records on a great website www.guidestar.org.
Here are a few financial facts according to Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance's tax documents as filed with the I.R.S.
2006 Total Revenue: $2,491,787
2006 Total Expenses: $2,074,590
2006 Surplus: $417,197
Net Assets year end: $6,098,692
At the end of 2006 SUWA had more left over liquid cash than was donated to USA-ALL in 2006 and 2007 combined. Scary? You bet but we're just getting started. In 2006 they spent $194,935 on employee salaries and benefits. They have around 20 employees working every day to shut down access to public land in Utah! Of those are two dedicated full time attorneys and two more attorneys work in the organizations management as well as help with legal efforts. All total they have four attorneys on staff. They spent $556,672 towards propaganda or as they call it educating the public. They spent $709,235 towards "wilderness campaigns" aka closing land to the public, and $217,217 specifically on road and OHV issues which certainly included more lying to or educating the public. They spent $183,878 to prevent fuel and energy, exploration, development, and extraction in places they consider fragile. I often wonder if they believe in heating their homes with, driving vehicles that use, or turning on lights and electronic devices that require energy derived from fossil fuels. I am also unclear about where exactly these fragile wild places are they seek to save from mankind itself? The land I know is resilient and tough it has been that way before man set foot on the earth and if we ever disappear nature will continue to rule as it always has. Let's not kid ourselves about whom or what is fragile. Despite this we should tread lightly on public land and care for the land that in turn cares for us. According to SUWA's latest effort in Washington D.C. these fragile wild lands comprise approximately 9.4 million acres of land in Utah.
This land is owned by the people of the United States and is managed by the federal government through the Bureau of Land Management. SUWA has yet to place a target or a number on land managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The operative word there is "yet". I'm sure sooner or later they will go after land managed by the forest service. They are after all a successful business and winning the war in the desert for them would be bad business. If they ever accomplish their goals in the desert areas of our state they will undoubtedly start new assaults on our mountains.
Their latest wilderness push is part of a reoccurring assault on public land and the citizens of our country most importantly the citizens of our state. For the past decade they have aggressively pushed a bill they have entitled, "America's Red Rock Wilderness Act" some of its biggest supporters are the two primary sponsors, Congressman Maurice Hinchey of New York, and Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois. None of Utah's Congressmen or Senators have signed on in support of the bill. In fact Utahns sent a message to the sponsors of this terrible bill in 2008. During the 2008 general session the Utah State Legislature sent a joint resolution to Congress and told the sponsors of the bill to essentially step off and stop supporting a wilderness bill that harms the citizens of Utah.
Believe me if wilderness was such a good thing counties in rural Utah that need tourism, and other sources of revenue would be lining up to take the plunge but that isn't happening. In fact they have been fighting such designations since the beginning. Despite local resistance, and complete lack of support by Utah's congressional delegation SUWA has convinced others outside our state of the need to lock up public land in Utah. If left unchecked they will eventually have enough votes to push it through and right down all of our throats. I hope you're hungry because 9.4 million acres is about 41 percent of all the land managed by BLM in Utah. If history has taught us anything it is SUWA just like other radical movements cannot be satisfied nor appeased. If they got all they wanted they would come back for more. One example of this is the incredible growth of wild places in Utah over the past few years. Amazingly even mysteriously over the years the acreage of so called wilderness qualified land has grown. With each subsequent inventory new wild places are found. Early estimates by BLM for suitable wilderness were as low as 1.9 million acres. Since then SUWA has conducted their own inventory of suitable land and have made various proposals which have grown to the present day number of 9.4 million acres. How did BLM miss a few million acres, why has SUWA consistently increased the acres of land they found suitable for wilderness? I would say SUWA should sit back and keep doing inventories, shoot before long the whole state could qualify to be one big wilderness area.
I know I sound like some mad-man or conspiracy theorist. When I first started working for USA-ALL I knew the problem was real and big but I didn't realize how real or how big it was. In some ways I wish I could go back to the days of blissful ignorance, but I can't and I mustn't. Just as all those who read this cannot and should not. If you care for public land and love to get out and enjoy it then you must do something, or I will absolutely guarantee that we will lose it. It is fact certain. The longer we wait to acknowledge and address the problems associated with public land management not only the obvious problem of radical environmentalism but those problems on the side of recreationists and industry the harder it will be to resolve them.
In SUWAs 2007 annual report, which is available on their website at www.suwa.org they list six different focuses. Passing wilderness legislation, protecting land from oil, gas, and coal development, protecting land from off-road vehicles, stopping the state of Utah and its counties from enforcing ownership of certain roads, involvement and influence on Resource Management Plans (20 year land use plans for BLM), and building a stronger grass roots movement to accomplish their mission of, "...uncompromising advocacy for wilderness preservation."
This group does not believe in compromising or working together to share the land. I have had years of first hand experience with them debating over places such as Factory Butte. They refuse to come to middle ground. They bully federal agencies into submission with threats of lawsuits; they infiltrate these same organizations with federal employees who have an agenda to serve environmentalism and conservation over the public. They spend millions of dollars on litigation that costs you and I precious tax dollars. Yet how much money have they spent on mitigation, removal of invasive species, habitat restoration, wildlife management, scientific or historical research and recreational access improvement? None to my knowledge. A recent example of off-roaders taking on the role of true environmentalists is the volunteer work given to place fencing around a bogus endangered species near Factory Butte. Not a single member of the environmental community lent a hand. Yet dozens of off-road recreationists have invested hundreds of volunteer hours, to protect a cactus and implement a compromise plan between users and BLM that few in the off-road community like.
SUWA routinely threatens state and federal agencies with lawsuits. These threats compel agencies to be overly cautious and engage in excessive and expensive planning, which cost the taxpayers extra money. They block oil, gas, and mining development, which costs us money at the pump, the grocery store, at home, and every aspect of our lives. It should be well known by now that when energy costs raise so does the cost of everything else. If we can't even tap our own resources for energy we have to meet demand by finding them elsewhere. Most of us are painfully aware of the financial and human costs when we as a country do not control our own energy supplies and are forced to outsource our energy needs to those who seek to destroy us. I often wonder if it really is about the environment. What environmentally protective measures does Russia, China, India, Mexico, and Venezuela, enforce when they develop and extract resources for U.S. needs? The answer is few if any. So does SUWAs efforts really protect anything? I think not. I take that back it certainly protects OPEC and many Saudi sheiks lucrative juggernaut on American fuel prices.
I believe SUWAs actions are very harmful to the United States and all who live here. But we in Utah are most impacted. This fascist organization needs to be called on the carpet for their egregious actions. The people of Utah must wake up and unite against them. They can be beaten. On a fraction of their budget we have stopped their abuses, challenged them in court, and won major victories. We know how to win the war but we need people's names and dollars to get the job done. The organization I work for Utah Shared Access Alliance is dedicated to seeing the simultaneous protection and responsible use of public land in our gorgeous state. We also are committed to stopping groups like SUWA from further harming the greatest state in the greatest country on the face of the earth.
You don't have to take my word on the things I have asserted in this article you can read for yourself search the sources cited above and on SUWA's website www.suwa.org, you can read till you puke and that shouldn't take long. You will see we are not making this stuff up. They are a real and immediate danger. What are you going to do about it? We suggest you start by joining USA-ALL go to our website www.usaall.org to do that. You must also let your elected representative know how you feel about these issues and tell them you have joined our organization. If we all unite under one umbrella we really can make a huge difference. You don't have to be a political geek or land use pro, that's what we're here for. All you have to do is care enough to give your good name and your hard earned dollar to a cause that will fight hard for you and your family.
Michael Swenson is married with two children. He and his family reside in Orem out of necessity. He would rather be living in a more rural area. He has been the executive director of USA-ALL since 2004. It is his full time job. He handles the daily operation of the organization, government relations, and legislative affairs. He is a local boy and graduate of Emery High School. His parents still reside in Orangeville. He can't think of a better place for a young boy to grow up. He deeply cherishs his childhood here and playing in the surrounding mountains and deserts. It was growing up in Emery County and the attempts to create wilderness in the mid 1990's by SUWA that inspired him to pursue higher education that would let him become involved and influential on these important policy issues.
Watch for the conclusion of this article in the March 30 issue of the Emery County Progress.

A massive dust plume blew off the western coast of Africa and over the Atlantic Ocean on October 8, 2012. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this image the same day, showing dust extending from the Western Sahara-Mauritania border westward past Cape Verde. It was the second consecutive day of dust activity in this region.
Sand seas sprawl across Mauritania and neighboring countries, and those vast reservoirs of sand provide plentiful material for dust storms. The Saharan Air Layer—an arid, dust-laden air mass that forms over the Sahara between late spring and early fall—frequently transports dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Department of Anesthesiology provided more than 43,000 anesthetics in 2 hospitals last year. In addition to providing anesthesia care for surgeries performed at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC), the department provides all anesthetic coverage for the obstetric suite plus gynecological surgery at Forsyth Memorial Hospital.
The department also provides triage, direct patient management, and consultations in both the adult and pediatric intensive care units at WFUBMC. We employ a cadre of critical care medicine specialists cross-trained in several areas.
We medically direct the Preoperative Assessment Clinic (PAC). The PAC helps ensure that outpatient surgical patients and same-day surgery patients have proper management of other medical conditions prior to their surgical experience.
Two anesthesiologists on faculty always take in-house call (one at Forsyth Memorial Hospital and one at WFUBMC) while 4 other physicians take call from home. Anesthesiologist faculty responsible for Acute Pain Management, Adult Critical Care, Pediatric Anesthesia, and Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology each provide one specialist on-call 24 hours per day from home. These physicians come to the hospital when needed, and a cardiac anesthesiologist comes in whenever a cardiothoracic case is performed. Pediatric Critical Care also has a faculty member of our department in the hospital 24/7 for supervision of care of children in the pediatric ICU.

Right now, Rios is arguably the most valuable batter in fantasy leagues. He's on a pace for an amazing 35 HRs and 50 SBs and he's doing it with a .318 batting average.
We can't say that Rios is getting lucky either. His peripheral stats show some tremendous improvement from a year ago. Most noticeably, his strikeout rate is down to a meager 11.8%, which is about Albert Pujols' career rate. Rios' walk rate is up too — from 5.8% to 7.9% — and his ISO (Isolated Power, which is slugging percentage minus batting average) is up from .148 to .272.
Talk about elite…
Meanwhile, Kemp has been a slight disappointment. His power (11 HRs) is fine, but his average (.279) and speed (8 steals and 8 times caught stealing) are both unworthy of first-round pick status, especially as an outfielder. Kemp's strikeout rate is up to 27% and there doesn't seem to be anything below the surface that points to bad luck. He's doing about what he should be doing.
I made the case last September that we were expecting a bit too much from Kemp, writing that "with batting average regression and less speed, Kemp could easily fall back into Hunter Pence/Alex Rios/Corey Hart territory." That seems to have been on target, at least so far.
No doubt, Kemp is a worthy player, and there aren't too many 25/25 candidates in baseball. But what we saw this spring in fantasy drafts across the land was a bit of an overreaction to recent trends. Clearly, today, there's less separation between Matt Kemp and Alex Rios than once imagined. Both show power and speed. Perhaps Rios now gets slightly more credit for being able to make contact at a higher rate.
Kemp is a great young player and there's no reason for any of his owners to sell him low right now. As for Rios, I think he deserves once again to be mentioned in the same breath. If an owner in your league thinks Rios is anything less than a Kemp quality talent, I'd say buy. The analogy between the two players is off hiatus.
Here are Bloomberg Sports' projections for the rest of the season:

Our dishwasher isn't washing properly. It leaves rather large, grainy residue on the inside of glasses. I have turned up the temperature on the water heater and I'm also using a rinse agent. I've looked under the sink and the copper pipe going to (or from?) the dishwasher has a small kink in it. Could that be the problem? Or...is there some other problem? The dishwasher is new, installed just prior to our purchasing this older (circa 1960) home last October.
Thanks for any help

"This shoe fit fairly well. I have worn them 3 times and I'm still trying to break them in. They are really tight on the top of my feet. There leave deep prints from the straps when I take them off after a full days wear. They are very cute and I have received compliments on them. They are not as gold as I thought they would be...almost look silver. All in all, I like them though."
