It dissolves quickly and I get consistent readings on calcium and magnesium batch to batch. Corals definitely look healthier since using this salt. Easily best salt in the market By Oscar on 11/24/2013 Oscar would recommend this product to a friend I switched over to this salt after using reef crystals for over a year in my nano. My corals after a month started to show vivid amazing colors. I made keeping all my levels in a steady pace real simple, But also brought everything I needed in a salt that most brands didn't. I'm glad i made the switch. You will not regret it either. Only salt i use By brian on 11/22/2013 brian would recommend this product to a friend i made the mistake and tried others and i have to say that i significant differences in the very short time i used the "other" salt. i will only use red sea coral pro. and even better when i buy it from BRS. Good stuff By sean on 11/20/2013 sean would recommend this product to a friend I just started using this, but so far so good no complaints . Great salt By Herbert on 10/23/2013 Herbert would recommend this product to a friend Was having problems with pH using another brand of salt. After several large water changes with Red Sea pro salt, the pH corrected and now is stable. Very happy with the results and will continue using this salt mix. Better than the rest By gemamanda on 10/21/2013 gemamanda would recommend this product to a friend My corals were barely surviving with other salt mixes, not they are not just thriving, but multiplying and growing quickly! Highly recommend. Excellent By Cory on 10/18/2013 Cory would recommend this product to a friend There are a ton of reviews on this salt. And reefers have a ton of opinions of which salt is the best. So it comes down to what is best for you. This salt works for me because it mixes well, it is consistent from batch to batch, and when I test the mixed water I get the ratio of elements I am looking for. I have had better results with Red Sea than Instant Ocean. But I have friends who say the opposite. If your not using Red Sea, give it a shot and see how it works for you. For me the result has been healthier corals. Just don't use the cool looking leftover buckets for water storage....they leak :-) Awesome product! By J on 10/15/2013 J would recommend this product to a friend RSCP salt is awesome! Switched to this after hearing that it was better for coral growth. Got some browned out SPS from someone and after a couple of weeks in the RSCP, all the sticks have color now and great polyp extension. Also made my zoas and palys spread like crazy! Will not use another salt after this! Great Salt Bad Packaging By Jake Wilkerson on 10/15/2013 Jake Wilkerson would recommend this product to a friend I've ordered both sizes now. Each time the bucket comes with a huge crack down the side. I don't know about everyone else but I like to get my money's worth and re purpose those buckets. Disappointing but I still love the salt. cloudy water, brown filter pads By mikec on 10/14/2013 mikec wouldn't recommend this product to a friend At first I couldn't figure out where the brown was coming from on my filter pads and filter sock. I thought maybe it was GFO. Then I changed back to reef crystals and it cleared up, also my water is now crystal clear. Something is wrong with this salt, I am very disappointed. Great growth on my zoos! By Scott on 10/9/2013 Scott would recommend this product to a friend Mixes a little cloudy, directions say not to mix over 4 hours. I have 3 high end zoos I purchased that were sticking around with 3 polyps and now they have 9-10 polyps each. Acans are growing new heads as well. This only after 3 weekly 20% water changes. Prior to this I used Reef Crystals, it mixed super clear over night but I did not see this kind of growth. I know this is a top notch salt I did not use it yet I will soon (175 Gal Bucket) By Kenneth on 9/5/2013 Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend The order arrived quickly as I have come to expect from BRS the only issue was the bucket was shipped in a box with the shipping label on the side of the bottom of the box, so the shipper handled it with the lid down when I opened the lid was destroyed and completely off the bucket salt had leaked out of the bag I don't know how much salt was lost? also the metal handle was badly bent, I am glad I had a empty spare salt bucket, I save the empty buckets for water changes etc, I called BRS they offered me a couple options to make it right (Thanks BRS) I must just be having bad luck lately, Past salt purchases I have made online from a other site ships the salt with the label on the bucket making it easier for the shipper to handle the heavy product, the next time I will ask for the bucket not to be put in a box since this is the first time out of 4 5gal purchases one was damaged in transit! I am not going to stop buying from BRS just sharing my experience.

In a time of hardship, economic recession and pandemic outbreak, comedy movies can be a great escape from reality. So, if you've lost your job, you're coming down with Captain Trips or just got a case of the Mondays – take our advise, trust our judgment and check out these top ten best comedy movies of 2009.
With the state of affairs around the world today, it's no wonder that people have turned to Hollywood for a little comic relief. Luckily, 2009 has been a great year for comedy films and some of the most unique plot lines in recent history. If you're looking for an alternative to the 24-hour news channels and want to lighten up, check out this list of the 10 Funniest Movies of 2009.
Trying to explain comedy is rarely a good idea. Precious few are born with the skill of reciting good comedy and even fewer know what to do with it. That is why I shall constrain myself to this simple listing: Top ten best comedy movies of 2009, Spring and Summer releases.
Last time I wrote an article on, according to me, the best comedy movies of a certain time period, it got over forty comments (and counting…); most of them disagreeing with my listing. So, for the top ten best comedy movies of 2009, Spring and Summer releases, that I am about to publish, I expect not your consent nor approval. If you disagree, you know what to do, if you don't you have a great sense of humor. Enjoy!

8. Bruno
The latest 'mockumentary' by Sacha Baron Cohen (of Borat fame) is Bruno, a ridiculous romp, flamboyantly gay fashion-obsessed Austrian as he journeys around the world on a quest to become famous.
As with all of Cohen's work, the point is not just yuks—it's social commentary. Cohen places Bruno in all kinds of situations where he provokes reactions from entertainers, politicians, and the dreadfully clueless. Bruno is raucous and not at all suitable for those with delicate sensibilities.
Still, it is a fascinating look at modern society's politically incorrect views on some of the most sensitive subjects.
Director: Larry Charles
Writer: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj3ox_PXo1A
Letterman interview with real S.B Cohen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk2oee2kjT8&
Cast: Sasha Baron Cohen, Gustaf Hammarsten, Clifford Banagale
Trivia: A woman sued Sacha Baron Cohen, claiming that the movie Bruno had ruined her sex life. During the MTV Movie Awards 2009 a stunt was performed by Bruno where he was gliding above the audience, landing on a surprised Eminem. The stunt was later revealed to be staged.
9. The Informant
The Informant is a humorous look at the true story of a whistleblower named Mark Whitacre who exposed price fixing by the agricultural industry in the 1990's.
Matt Damon brings an energetic (and somewhat creepy) element to the lead character who, in addition to being otherwise completely unqualified to do espionage, also suffers from bi-polar disorder.
His mental illness causes him to jeopardize the federal investigation and ultimately leads to his own meltdown.
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Writer: Scott Z. Burns, Kurt Eichenwald
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR-YaikU_x4
Cast: Matt Damon, Eddie Jameson, Rusty Schwimmer
Trivia: Matt Damon's comment on gaining weight for the movie: "I just stopped working out and basically just ate whatever I wanted. I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, drank a lot of beer and basically had a great time."
10. The Proposal
Bullock delivers yet another summer romantic comedy—a role she's got down to a science. This time she plays a high-powered book editor who has emigrated to the U.S. from Canada.
When she faces deportation, she announces that she is engaged to her unsuspecting assistant—with whom she has a contentious relationship.
He agrees to help her out by going along with the ruse, and the two head to Alaska to meet with her family and along the way endure an obstacle course of zany situations.
Director: Anne Fletcher

Either BlackBerry's a big fashion trend follower or a big trend setter, but either way they're spot on when it comes to putting out BlackBerry accessories in the season's hottest colors.
We just checked out the Pantone Color Institute's Spring 2013 Fashion Color Report and, for the most part, this spring's top color choices are already available in bright trendy cases for BlackBerry.
So, should you be feeling particularly fashionable this season, protect your BlackBerry Curve or BlackBerry Bold with one of these of-the-moment accessories:
This Sky Blue BlackBerry Curve Soft Shell case is pretty close substitute for the PCI's Dusk Blue, a cool tone reminiscent of the sky at the end of a spring day.
The Pantone Color Institute (PCI) lists Vibrant Orange as one of their top hues for Spring, and the BlackBerry Curve Soft Shell Case in Inferno matches up pretty closely with this warm and energetic color.
For a more relaxing but still fresh color choice, try the same soft case in Bottle Green, a color almost identical to Pantone's grass-green Tender Shoots.
The PCI suggests African Violet for a purple with a touch of intrigue. So if you want to protect your BlackBerry Bold with an aura of mystery, go purple with this Soft Shell Case in a rich, regal hue.
Grounding the entire palette for spring 2013 is Monaco Blue, a classic preppy tone that's versatile and clean. reproduce the effect with a Midnight Blue Soft Shell Case for BlackBerry Bold.
Of course, you can always check in with us at Pure Mobile for more colorful and inspired BlackBerry accessories. It's a fun and fresh way to cast off winter blues and jump into spring with a punch of colorful.

- What a nifty pass by Ruslan Fedotenko with his skate. Reminded me of a behind-the-back foot pass by
Patrick Elias against the Rangers a few years back (might have been in the
playoffs). Fedotenko was given a
training camp invite to see if he could prove that he still has some offensive
ability at age 31. I think he's done
that, and more.
- Marian Gaborik has looked phenomenal in the preseason. He's one of the few givens on this team, but
sometimes it's easy to forget just how talented he is.
- Would have been nice to see Vinny Prospal in one of these
preseason games. Looks like certain guys
are developing some chemistry and though I think Prospal can fit in a few
different spots, I don't want to see him get shafted because he's missing games.
- Anyone who suggested that Sean Avery might be one of the odd
men out going into the season has to be feeling a little silly right now. Avery was dominant again tonight. He's got tremendous jump in his step, is
contributing offensively, and showed his old agitating self against the
Devils. It'll be interesting to see if
he can play this way for a full season.
- Nice little dual between Derek Stepan and Erik Christensen
tonight. One of them will end up
centering the top line at the outset of the season, and though Christensen
played well between Gaborik and Frolov tonight, Stepan had a bigger impact on
the game. The Christensen/Stepan debate
is raging across the internet, and may also be amongst the Ranger coaching
staff. Both played well tonight, and
this battle will probably come down to the wire.
- There's no doubt in my mind that Alex Frolov is the best
passer on this team. He has incredible
vision and the ability to put the puck right where the shooter wants it. For all the debate we've had about Stepan and
Christensen, the addition of Frolov is probably going to have a far greater
effect on Marian Gaborik.
- Great to see Mike Sauer score a goal tonight. He has worked awfully hard coming back from
injury after injury and keeps returning to near-NHL status. He's likely to be a victim of the numbers
game with the Rangers, but they'll have to place him on waivers and some team
will surely be interested. He'll get a
shot somewhere and I won't be surprised when he earns a full-time NHL job.
- How about Pavel Valentenko? Kid broke his nose early in the game and came right back. He came into camp as kind of an unknown, and
now he look like a good bet to be a top-four defenseman one day. It won't be this year though; he needs to
play every day in Hartford.
- Poor Derek Boogaard. Dude looked totally stunned to find himself in scoring position
tonight. Offense just isn't in his
And for your viewing pleasure, Alexei Kovalev (yes Alexei
Kovalev) got into a fight in tonight's game against Toronto with Francois Beauchemin. He and Boogaard should swap lessons.

My furnace pilot light keeps going out so I changed the thermalcoupler now the furnace will come on and heat up to the degree set on my thermostat, then the pilot goes out and the furnace will not come back on. Could the thermostat be bad and cause the pilot light to go out?
If the pilot light keeps going out, the culprit is probably one of two things, with a third being unlikely but possible:

|Wreck Involving Tractor Trailer Shuts Down 421N
|Written by Ashley Wilson/Steve Frank
|Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:16
Three injuries—a trucker and two women hurt—one woman pinned in the wreckage of an SUV struck in the side by a tractor trailer in a crash Thursday morning in Vilas. The crash occurred at about 11:20am on US 321-421 near the NC 194 intersection, with all three vehicles ending up
off of the highway on the lot of Brown's Used Cars—with four trucks on the car lot also struck. Watauga Medics rushed Rominger Road resident Martha Ward Davis, 59, from her '97 Toyota, the car partially crushed underneath the trailer, then Elizabeth Eggers Hicks, 51, of Linville Creek Road, after she was freed from the wreckage of her Chevy Tahoe. Hampton's Body Shop had to be called in emergency traffic to pull the tractor trailer off the Tahoe, smashed by the impact, while Watauga Rescue and Cove Creek fire cut the top off of the SUV to reach Hicks, who was taken to a landing zone where WINGS Air Rescue landed to fly to her to the Johnson City Medical Center. The highway was blocked for most of an hour before traffic was directed through one lane. A third ambulance rushed to the scene to transport trucker David Anthony Seiber 45. Trooper Alexander said that Seiber, of Rinehardt, Tennessee, reported he looked down to check gauges for the load of frozen food he was hauling, and looked up to find Davis' Toyota stopped to turn into Brown's Used Cars. He swerved, slamming into the Tahoe, striking the driver's door, the bumper of his truck landing right on top of Hicks.

The Perks of Being a Wallflowerby Stephen Chbosky
Staff Pick
This coming-of-age story absolutely shines. Charlie is your average teenager trying to navigate the treacherous waters of adolescence, yet he's so much more than that. Recognizing something special in Charlie, a teacher feeds him literature and tries to guide him into growth and maturity. Charlie has a bit more on his plate than he knows what to do with, however. Chbosky manages to dodge stereotypes while mining his characters for the real humanity underneath the surface. This tiny novella delivers a huge, heart-warming story. Teenage years have never seemed so poignant, nor so beautiful!
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective... but there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.
This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.
Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower is part of an MTV Books series that targets teen-age readers. But it is more mature than most young adult literature and can be enjoyed by older readers as well." Denise Kersten, USA Today
"Charlie develops from an observant wallflower into his own man of action, and, with the help of a therapist, he begins to face the sexual abuse he had experienced as a child. This report on his life will engage teen readers for years to come." School Library Journal
A series of letters to an unknown correspondent reveals the coming-of-age trials of a high-schooler named Charlie.

He is the recipient of the Abraham Polonsky Screenwriting Award for his screenplay Everything Divided as well as a participant in the Sundance Institute's filmmakers' lab for his current project, Fingernails and Smooth Skin.

So I got my first pentakill in LoL today, playing as Mordekaiser, because spell vamp+q+e+r=gg.
We lost because we surrendered when their Nexus blew up, so it counted as a Defeat for us :/
I might upload it to Youtube if I figure out how to.

The closest I've ever gotten to a penta was before I even hit 30(i think), it was either a triple or a quadra as fiora, I was alone in enemy jungle, bush between red buff and mid. They all show up and naturally, I started to think I'm fucked. but despite being exhausted(this was before it reduced damage) and not even starting with full hp, I somehow not only survived, but killed them all in the process. It remains my greatest LoL moment in memory.

I did something similar with Ashe. I was casually walking along the wall of their blue with my Lux WHEN SUDDENLY Veigar comes in and 2 hits her, I kill him and the two people who were behind easily. Then a fourth champ comes from mid lane and decides to 1v1, but thanks to the magical power of the Bloodthirster, I drop him. Quadra kill, holy shit where's Jarvan? I see him and start attacking, I get him to 100 health but suddenly he kills me with the biggest burst you would ever see on that fucker and he walks away all casual-like. I was pissed.
But 5 minutes after that, we got in a teamfight and I get another quadra and I kill their Ashe 0.0000000000000000000000001 seconds too late.
Two missed pentas in one game fml. This was 2 weeks ago.

When the Nexus is half health, bring up the vote and vote for it quickly, if you time it right, the losing team's nexus' will explode and then the camera will go to yours and your nexus will blow up. But apparently, if you do this it'll count as a defeat :l

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1)by Suzanne Collins
Staff Pick
Destined for widespread popularity and quite possibly a little controversy, this post-apocalyptic tale about teenagers who fight to the death to help feed their families is so riveting and heartbreaking, I ceased all essential functions until I finished it.
"As a bibliophile who is fondly interested in young adult literature, I found The Hunger Games to be one of the best books I've read, regardless of its difficult content. As an extremely thought-provoking piece of literature, I hope this book will be added to English curriculums across the country, sparking conversations about subjects such as war, poverty, and death. Collins raises the intellectual bar, while empowering young adults with tools to instigate their own opinions and ideas." Sarah Miller, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
"Signature Reviewed by Megan Whalen Turner If there really are only seven original plots in the world, it's odd that 'boy meets girl' is always mentioned, and 'society goes bad and attacks the good guy' never is. Yet we have Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, The House of the Scorpion — and now, following a long tradition of Brave New Worlds, The Hunger Games. Collins hasn't tied her future to a specific date, or weighted it down with too much finger wagging. Rather less 1984 and rather more Death Race 2000, hers is a gripping story set in a postapocalyptic world where a replacement for the United States demands a tribute from each of its territories: two children to be used as gladiators in a televised fight to the death. Katniss, from what was once Appalachia, offers to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, but after this ultimate sacrifice, she is entirely focused on survival at any cost. It is her teammate, Peeta, who recognizes the importance of holding on to one's humanity in such inhuman circumstances. It's a credit to Collins's skill at characterization that Katniss, like a new Theseus, is cold, calculating and still likable. She has the attributes to be a winner, where Peeta has the grace to be a good loser. It's no accident that these games are presented as pop culture. Every generation projects its fear: runaway science, communism, overpopulation, nuclear wars and, now, reality TV. The State of Panem — which needs to keep its tributaries subdued and its citizens complacent — may have created the Games, but mindless television is the real danger, the means by which society pacifies its citizens and punishes those who fail to conform. Will its connection to reality TV, ubiquitous today, date the book? It might, but for now, it makes this the right book at the right time. What happens if we choose entertainment over humanity? In Collins's world, we'll be obsessed with grooming, we'll talk funny, and all our sentences will end with the same rise as questions. When Katniss is sent to stylists to be made more telegenic before she competes, she stands naked in front of them, strangely unembarrassed. 'They're so unlike people that I'm no more self-conscious than if a trio of oddly colored birds were pecking around my feet,' she thinks. In order not to hate these creatures who are sending her to her death, she imagines them as pets. It isn't just the contestants who risk the loss of their humanity. It is all who watch. Katniss struggles to win not only the Games but the inherent contest for audience approval. Because this is the first book in a series, not everything is resolved, and what is left unanswered is the central question. Has she sacrificed too much? We know what she has given up to survive, but not whether the price was too high. Readers will wait eagerly to learn more. Megan Whalen Turner is the author of the Newbery Honor book The Thief and its sequels, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
To punish rebellious citizens, the government of a future dystopia strikes at their children. Selected by lottery, 24 young people must participate each year in a televised survival game. Similar to Roman gladiators, they enter a large outdoor arena — and must hide, hunt and fight until one victor emerges. "The Hunger Games" focuses on one character's struggle to maintain her humanity... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) under such brutal conditions. When her younger sister is chosen, Katniss Everdeen, a skilled hunter, takes her place. But when Katniss publicly mourns the death of a fellow contestant and bonds with another to trick the government, she angers the powers that be. She must continue to play her part carefully or jeopardize her life and those of her loved ones. This gripping tale explores ever-timely topics — violence-as-entertainment and rule-by-intimidation — and through Katniss holds out the possibility of change. Children's author Mary Quattlebaum teaches classes in writing for children, blogs on nature-themed kids' books for the National Wildlife Federation and reviews regularly for The Washington Post Book World.

"[A] violent, jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspense....Collins is an efficient no-nonsense prose stylist with a pleasantly dry sense of humor. (Grade: B)" Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"[A] grand-opening salvo....Populated by three-dimensional characters, this is a superb tale of physical adventure, political suspense, and romance." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Impressive world-building, breathtaking action and clear philosophical concerns make this volume, the beginning of a planned trilogy, as good as The Giver and more exciting." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] thrilling adventure that will appeal to science fiction, survival, and adventure readers. The suspense of this powerful novel will keep the reader glued to the page long after bedtime." VOYA
"Collins's characters are completely realistic and sympathetic as they form alliances and friendships in the face of overwhelming odds; the plot is tense, dramatic, and engrossing." School Library Journal
The acclaimed author of the New York Times-bestselling Underland Chronicles series delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in a stunning novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to the present.
In Lois Lowrys Newbery Medal-winning classic, twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal world. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver does he begin to understand the dark secrets behind his fragile community.
The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Lois Lowry has written three companion novels to The Giver, including Gathering Blue, Messenger, and Son.
Now in paperback, the book no one can stop talking about . . .
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Primroses lie along a road high in the Ashley National Forest Reservation Ridge area.
Officials with the Ashley National Forest held public hearings last week to take comments on proposed changes to a travel management plan that will set the rules for off-highway vehicle use in the forest.
A small group of Duchesne County leaders, OHV users, hunters and others gathered in Duchesne last Tuesday night to voice their opinions about the plan that could restrict the number of designated motorized routes and trails in the Ashley.
"We can't overemphasize that motor vehicles are an appropriate way for people to be able to access and recreate on the forest," said Ashley National Forest partnership coordinator Don Jaques. "This is not about trying to close the forest to motorized vehicles."
Jaques said there has been "an exponential amount" of population growth in the Uintah Basin and a dramatic increase in OHV ownership. The vehicles themselves have become more powerful as well, and with the newer side-by-side models, are capable of carrying more people into more remote areas.
"In Utah, OHV use ... has increased over 256 percent from 1998 to 2008," Jaques said.
Numbers in the Uintah Basin, gleaned from state registration records, are far more staggering. From 1998 to 2008, Daggett County saw a 663 percent increase in OHV ownership, while Duchesne and Uintah counties saw increases of 509 percent and 479 percent, respectively. Carbon County has also shown a great increase in OHV ownership despite the fact that the area has not expanded in population very much. Many Castle Valley residents utilize trails and roads in the Ashley National Forest near the White River and over Indian Canyon.
Jaques said the goal of the travel management plan is to "provide better opportunities for sustainable motorized recreation, while protecting our resources (and) also addressing public safety concerns."
The draft environmental impact statement created for the plan offers five alternatives. Forest officials said they believe Alternative B addresses the concerns and comments offered by 1,200 respondents so far. That alternative would change the rules on dispersed, motorized camping.
At present dispersed, motorized camping is allowed within 300 feet of a road. Under Alternative B, that would be reduced to 150 feet. Game retrieval will also not be allowed off designated routes.
Hunters and OHV users at the Duchesne meeting said they would support a trail-specific fee system if it meant ensuring greater access to the areas they like to frequent.
"That's the society we live in today," said Duchesne resident Jeremy Taylor. "If you want it nice, you're going to have to pay for it."
Taylor's comments were supported by several other users at the meeting, who also volunteered to help build and maintain trails in cooperation with the Forest Service. The sentiment appeared to surprise Ashley National Forest Supervisor Kevin Elliott.
"I'm really encouraged to hear you all talk in that vein," said Elliott.
"Whatever alternative is picked, there will be work that needs to be done," Elliott told the Duchesne group, "and I'll be coming to you for help."
Elliott referenced the support offered during the Duchesne meeting when he met with Uintah County residents Thursday night.
"I have done this before where coalitions can work together to open new trails and make them sustainable," he said, adding that those at the Duchesne meeting "said to give them a call for a work project on some Saturday. 'Let's work on it together' was their offer and this makes sense to me if we can work something like this out."
Two nights later during the same meeting in Vernal a person asked Elliott why Forest Service officials are seeking to reduce access rather than increase enforcement.
"You have a bunch of young kids tearing up the the roads and they are the ones that need rehabilitating," the man said.
"You're forcing all of us into the same areas of riding and camping," another said. "We will be like sardines in a can all trying to use little pieces of the forest."
Others at that meeting accused Forest Service officials of having their minds already set on a course of action and of over-regulating public lands. Elliott conceded that in the end, the decision on which alternative to adopt is up to him, but said he has yet to reach that point.
"The map is not set in stone right now," he said.
The Ashley National Forest will continue to accept written comments on the draft environmental impact statement for its travel management plan until June 1. The entire draft travel management plan can be viewed at: www.fs.fed.us/r4/ashley/projects/travel_management.

You've heard of organic vegetables and organic milk, but what on earth is an organic mattress? Is it really healthier?
Well, quite simply, yes. Organic vegetables are healthier because they do not have chemical pesticide residues. Organic milk is healthier because it comes from cows that are not given artificial chemical hormones. Likewise, organic crib mattresses do not have all the chemicals that regular crib mattresses have.
But that's just the beginning. Organic mattresses are made with organic and non-toxic materials instead of conventional and chemically questionable materials. Parents and physicians recommend organic crib mattresses as a way to avoid unnecessary exposure to these chemicals.
What are the certification standards for an organic mattress?
Organic mattresses, like all other certified products made with organic fiber and textiles, are certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The largest U.S. GOTS approved certifier is Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO).
In particular, the GOTS standard requires that all fiber and fabrics, with limited exceptions, must be made from certified materials that meet the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) standard and are processed in accordance with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). All other components (such as innersprings, fire protection, etc.) must meet stringent non-toxic standards. Naturepedic is an OTCO certified organic processor of fiber and textiles and is certified to manufacture organic mattresses and bedding.
Are mattresses labeled "eco" or "green" just as good?
No. "Eco" and "green" are not regulated terms and can be misleading. For example, "plant derived" or "soybean" foam used in many "eco" mattress models are at least 80% petroleum/chemical based and are not really "made of soybeans." "Bamboo" fabric, also common in "eco" models, is typically made using environmentally toxic chemicals with no trace of the bamboo plant in the finished product. Many of these "eco" materials may sound good, but they are not really "natural" and are certainly not focused on eliminating harmful chemicals.

The National Journal recently asked nine opinion leaders what's at stake for the environment as Washington's budget cuts, aka sequestration, go into effect. Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams weighed in.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a technique used by the oil and gas industry to extract natural gas from rock thousands of feet underground. The fracking process includes pumping millions of gallons of water, sand and toxic chemicals (including carcinogens) underground.
Meanwhile oil and gas companies continue to receive unnecessary and outdated subsidies at the expense of taxpayers.
Congress is considering deep budget cuts to federal programs this March, including to National Park Service budgets.

It's official-the actresses have taken over the ateliers. Sienna Miller has joined fellow thespians Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Amanda Bynes and launched her own clothing label, Twenty8Twelve by s. miller. Many muses inspired the 80-piece collection; one blouse has Victorian frills while a pair of slim-cut, black pants is an ode to Patti Smith. Despite the wildly divergent reference points, the resulting line is clean, thoughtful, and utterly wearable.
Miller didn't set up shop alone, naturally. Twenty8Twelve is a Miller family affair with Sienna's sister, Savannah, as the primary collaborative partner. (This explains the intentionally vague "S. Miller" credit.) Savannah's involvement bodes well for the longevity of the line. She has a legitimate design background and trained with biggies like Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson. Additionally, Twenty8Twelve also has the perfect publicity machine in place-Sienna herself. For months the young style icon has been mixing items from the line into her daily, much photographed, outfits.
As for getting your mitts on the Miller sisters' line, UK residents have a bit of a home-court advantage. A Twenty8Twelve shop is set to open next month in London and is also available at Harvey Nichols and Matches. Stateside, we hear that you'll be able to pick up items at Bergdorf Goodman in New York and Neiman Marcus in Los Angeles. We found a few British online retailers who are stocking the line as well. Hopefully the pieces will be a little less expensive when they hit our shores.

CANTON A St. Lawrence County judge has dismissed a grand larceny indictment against former Gouverneur mayor Christopher A. Miller, citing what he called the prosecutions pervasive mishandling of the questioning of witnesses in this case.
Judge Jerome J. Richards gave the prosecution leave to present one of the two counts to a different grand jury under a Dec. 20 order in which he maintained that the conduct of Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Becker impaired the integrity of the grand jury proceeding.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� on Friday declined comment on Mr. Beckers handling of the case, saying that he will not return from vacation until Monday and that she has not had a chance to speak with him about the order.
Mr. Miller, of 171 Rowley St., Gouverneur, was accused of drawing up a fraudulent land-sale contract and selling an Edith Street home to Ronald and Heather Sliter for $50,000 in March. As a joint owner of the property, he did not have the right to sell it, investigators alleged.
Elected to the post in fall 2011, Mr. Miller served as Gouverneurs mayor for less than a year before resigning in August, six days before he was arrested.
Under the indictment, Mr. Miller was facing a charge of third-degree grand larceny in connection with the house sale, as well as a charge of first-degree offering a false instrument in connection with a bankruptcy petition in which he allegedly listed the home as an asset.
Mr. Miller declined comment Friday, saying he had not had the chance to fully discuss the issue with his attorney, John W. Hallett of Watertown, whom he said has been ill.
Mr. Hallett did not respond to calls seeking comment Friday afternoon.
According to the judges order, Mr. Hallett challenged the legal proof of larceny supporting the first count, as well as the venue in the second count, given that the bankruptcy filing was made in Oneida County.
Mr. Hallett also argued that the prosecution allowed hearsay as part of the grand jury proceeding and improperly interrupted a jurors questions. He successfully requested permission from the court to examine the grand jury minutes as part of a pre-trial disclosure conference.
Judge Richards later reviewed the minutes in light of the issues raised by Mr. Hallett. His first finding was that the court has no territorial jurisdiction over filings in a government office in another county, and that the false instrument charge must be dismissed and may not be put before another grand jury.
The judge went on to say that the entire indictment must be dismissed due to Mr. Beckers conduct.
The prosecutor asked so many leading questions that it was clear he, not the witness, was testifying as an unsworn witness without personal knowledge of the facts, Judge Richards wrote, adding that Mr. Becker also improperly allowed hearsay evidence without a proper foundation or clarifying instruction.
It is nothing but confusing to allow a witness to testify to what he or she heard someone else say, and then to instruct the grand jury that this is not offered for the truth of the statement but merely to show its impact on the listener, the judge continued. Clearly this was a subterfuge to present hearsay as though it were competent evidence, and that is not permitted.
Finally, Judge Richards wrote, Mr. Becker repeatedly interrupted one or more jurors who were trying to ask clarifying questions, and basically strong-armed them into abandoning the attempt to clarify.
As a result, the court cannot determine whether the evidence was legally sufficient, the judge concluded.
With the prosecution still permitted to present the grand larceny count to a new grand jury, Mr. Miller remains under probationary supervision.
We are certainly going to take a look at getting it back to a grand jury, Ms. Duv� said of the grand larceny count, adding that her office also would examine whether the false-instrument count could be presented in a different jurisdiction.

|Vale Himonas addresses the attendees of the College of Eastern Utah's Woman's Conference as the Woman of the Year 2004.
Carbon High special education teacher, Vale Himonas of Price, was honored as Woman of the Year 2004 at the annual women's conference at the College of Eastern Utah campus on April 16.
Himonas was nominated for the 2004 Woman of the Year by her coworkers at Carbon High School.
The list of Himonas' selfless sacrifices on behalf of many of her students and community members was considerable and praises numerous as SUN Center Director and Woman of the Year 2003, Kathy Murray, presented the award.
"This year's recipient is described as being our community's Florence Nightingale - truly a major piece of our life here in Carbon County, but especially in the lives of those she serves," Murray read.
Himonas, who has been an educator at Carbon High for the last 30 years, has also been a strong supporter of the American Cancer Society and Special Olympics.
According to Murray, those that know her and have been touched by her generosity describe Himonas as a selfless, personable, energetic mediator, always willing to serve those around her.
Himonas believes in the responsibility of parents, educators, employers and acquaintances to help the youth of today develop the skills necessary to become reliable and productive.
Statements in her nomination read: "She takes [the students] under her wing and guides them in developing manners, proper etiquette, respect for others, responsibility and good work ethics� A constant example of kindness, teaching with respect and understanding, she gives the gift of hope to those she serves. She is truly an asset to her community."
"This is very unexpected, and although this is a great honor, the person that Kathy spoke of is not one person, it's a community of people," Himonas stated.
Thanking her colleagues at Carbon High, CEU's cosmetology department, community partners, students and their parents, Himonas recognized the efforts of all who contributed to her own efforts.
Himonas also spoke of four ingredients she believes are essential to educating students and adults: an unlimited supply of caring, a sprinkle of humor, a conviction of ability and the dignity of individuals.
This year marked the 25th anniversary of announcing Woman of the Year at the annual women's conference on CEU's campus.
Seven past recipients attended the conference. Former First Lady, Norma Matheson spoke to the 150 in attendance with her son Congressman Jim Matheson introducing his "mother" to the conference attendees.

MASSENA - Bill Tracer Tracy of Massena has been named one of the 10 finalists of the first ever Blues Master talent-discovery program featuring renowned blues guitarist, Joe Bonamassa, according to a release from Guitar Center, the worlds largest retailer of musical instruments.
The finalists will perform live at Guitar Centers Blues Masters finale event July 27 at Los Angeles historical blues club, The Mint.
The show will feature performances by each of the 10 finalists, capped off by a performance by Bonamassa. The winner, selected by Bonamassa, will receive a career-launching prize package that includes cash, gear, an EP produced by Bonamassa and an opening gig on the blues legends upcoming tour.
Based on the performances at the finale event, one guitarist will be chosen to receive a career-altering opportunity for development and exposure under the mentorship of one of the biggest names in blues rock. The winner will be granted an opening slot at Bonamassas headlining show in Los Angeles this fall, $10,000 cash, and gear from Gibson, Ernie Ball, Marshall Amplification and Dunlop.
The winner will also head into the studio for a mentor session with Bonamassa and producer Kevin Shirley, who has worked with the likes of Journey, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden and more. The blues heavy weights will work with the winner to produce an EP.
Each of these 10 finalists impressed me not only with their technical skills but how they were able to showcase their personal musical styles in the songs, Bonamassa said. I am proud to partner with Guitar Center on a program that seeks to recognize, inspire and motivate the wealth of deserving, undiscovered talent that exists within the blues community.
Aspiring blues guitarists from across the United States were invited to submit their best lead guitar performance to one of the 10 official Joe Bonamassa tracks supplied by Guitar Center. All artists who entered were ranked based on their online fan growth during the first round by Yoov.io, a platform that syndicates and measures content engagement throughout web.
In the second round, the top-ranked artists were reviewed personally by Bonamassa who handpicked the 10 finalists.

The 2010 elections are here, and at no time in recent history has Washington been so divided. Less than two years ago, then Senator Barack Obama led a movement united by the desire for change. Voters wanted a new era of bipartisan cooperation, openness and an abandonment of "politics as usual."
The realities of backroom politics quickly eroded campaign ideals. Whether President Obama and the Democratic leadership failed to deliver, or his opponents refused the invitation, the battle lines were fortified and partisan rancor is now stronger than ever.
It's easy to identify key events that hastened the downfall. We must also acknowledge that circumstances at the beginning of 2009 were dire. The world economy wavered and consumers and businesses alike were gripped in fear. Early decisions made by the Obama Administration and Congress helped bring stability to the markets but also left a sour taste for many. Did we bailout the right people? Did we mortgage our future to jump-start the economy? Will skyrocketing deficits lead to stagflation, inflation or other types of economic grief?
Health care reform underscored the divisions. Early on there was a "debate" on how to address the twin issues of skyrocketing premiums and the millions of Americans without health care insurance. But by last summer, it had devolved into issue ads and angry town hall gatherings.
We are again at an election crossroads in which many voters are seeking "change." That's what this issue of the magazine is about - an opportunity to consider how actions being taken by federal and state lawmakers impact you, the auto enthusiast. The need for the enthusiast community to stay informed and become involved is greater than ever. From emissions to auto equipment standards, the government is making decisions about your current and future car.
This topic is not limited to Washington. While the federal government issues national rules dictating vehicle safety and emissions equipment, most other issues are handled at the state and local levels. From titling and registration to inspection/maintenance, your car is subject to decisions made by state and local officials.
The future of our hobby depends on you. The ballot box is one venue for making your views known. We also urge you to work collectively with your fellow enthusiasts. How? Join the SEMA Action Network (SAN). The SAN is a partnership between enthusiasts, car clubs and members of the specialty auto parts industry in the U.S. and Canada who have pledged to join forces in support of legislative solutions for the auto hobby. It's free to join and the SAN keeps you informed about pending legislation and regulations? both good and bad?that will impact your state or the entire country.
