When Houston-area activist Thelma Taormina was allegedly shoved multiple times by a man trying to install a controversial so-called "smart meter" on her home, she had already told the public-utility subcontractor that he was trespassing and to get off her property. When he continued to refuse, Taormina told The New American in an interview, she went inside and got her gun. That worked.
The incident has since become national news. But amid headlines about Taormina's efforts to stop what she described as an "assault," little attention was given to one of the key elements in the controversy: the government's attempt to foist "smart meters" on the American people no matter what citizens think about the devices.
It turns out that there are more than a few reasons why Taormina and other activists oppose the new electricity meters — and why they are willing to go to such lengths to stop them. "My main concern originally was the privacy — as far as I'm concerned this is a surveillance device," Taormina told TNA, noting that the devices have unprecedented capabilities in terms of monitoring what is going on in the house.
The devices, she said, also have the potential to violate the Fourth Amendment's protection "against unreasonable searches and seizures" by giving officials huge amounts of detailed data about private homes. Such concerns have been expressed repeatedly across the political spectrum in recent years as the "stimulus"-funded meter installers fanned out across America. But officials have largely refused to address the criticism.
"Then I found out that these meters are actually going to relay information through the open air where hackers are able to get all of your information," Taormina added, pointing to the vast array of data transmitted by the devices. While it may be illegal to intercept the signal, the government is not even capable of preventing identity fraud, let alone smart-meter hacking, she observed.

Comments about Horny Toad Dresspass Dress (Women's):
I ordered this in a medium because I'm 5'4", 125 lbs. I loved it but it was huge. So I washed it and dried it and it is perfect now. Hits a bit above my knee and is slightly fitted. It looks great with boots. The fabric is very heavy, like a sweatshirt, and very soft. It is perfect for running errands, coffee, etc. but too casual for anything fancy. Like I said, it's a big, but attractive, sweatshirt.

Comments about Horny Toad Dresspass Dress (Women's):
I received this dress as a birthday present and it is the most comfortable dress in my closet. The dress is very flattering yet you can wear it either lounging around the house or going out to a casual location. It is a great alternative to the normal jeans and hoodie I usually wear. I am 5'5" and 140 lbs; the medium was a little big and the small was a little snug so I just washed the medium and dryed it on warm and it shrunk to just the right size.

Super cute and warm dress that looks great with leggings, tights and even bare legged. Sizing is right on. I'm a 10-12 and the large fits perfectly.

CARTHAGE The Carthage-Wilna Fire District board of commissioners gave its approval during its Wednesday meeting to purchase trees to be used as a privacy row along the south borderline of the fire station property, 685 S. James St.
Head Driver Brian J. Draper said he had been questioned by neighbors about privacy dividers that were planned when the Carthage Fire Department hall was constructed in 2006.
Mr. Draper told the board that originally, the design was for a seven-bay station surrounded by paving, sidewalks and some sort of privacy divider. However, when the original plan was voted down, the project was reduced to a four-bay building without the paving, sidewalks and barrier.
Mr. Draper said that he obtained an estimate for a barrier from a landscaper and that the cost would be more than $3,000. Instead, Mr. Draper suggested, the department could obtain seedlings from the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District through its annual program. The required 15 Norway spruces would cost a total of $35.
Mr. Draper said he and the departments other two drivers would plant the trees after checking with village code enforcement officers about regulations on planting along the property border.
The board of commissioners approved the purchase and overtime pay for the drivers to complete the task.
It was suggested to budget on an annual basis for landscaping on the other side and the back of the property.
In other business, the board heard reports about the IamResponding.com program and training.
The board set the June district meeting as a deadline for compliance with mandatory bailout training. The deadline will be added to the training policy.
The board declared a broken pressure washer as surplus and authorized Mr. Draper to attempt to sell it for $150.
Board members also declared surplus the outdated thermal-imaging camera, which is in disrepair. The old-model camera, which recently was replaced, will be put on display at the fire station. In both cases, repair expenses were deemed financially unfeasible.
As part of an ongoing initiative, the board reviewed and accepted a mutual aid policy. The policy allows the department members to respond as mutual aid when requested but will not leave the fire district unprotected.
Mr. Draper said the outfitting of the recently ordered fire engine from KME Fire Apparatus, Latham, is progressing well. Next month, photographs of the truck will be available and posted on the district website, www.carthagenyfire.com.

42 U.S. Code § 7502 - Nonattainment plan provisions in general
(a) Classifications and attainment dates
(1) Classifications
(A) On or after the date the Administrator promulgates the designation of an area as a nonattainment area pursuant to section 7407 (d) of this title with respect to any national ambient air quality standard (or any revised standard, including a revision of any standard in effect on November 15, 1990), the Administrator may classify the area for the purpose of applying an attainment date pursuant to paragraph (2), and for other purposes. In determining the appropriate classification, if any, for a nonattainment area, the Administrator may consider such factors as the severity of nonattainment in such area and the availability and feasibility of the pollution control measures that the Administrator believes may be necessary to provide for attainment of such standard in such area.
(B) The Administrator shall publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing each classification under subparagraph (A), except the Administrator shall provide an opportunity for at least 30 days for written comment. Such classification shall not be subject to the provisions of sections 553 through 557 of title 5 (concerning notice and comment) and shall not be subject to judicial review until the Administrator takes final action under subsection (k) or (l) ofsection 7410 of this title (concerning action on plan submissions) or section 7509 of this title (concerning sanctions) with respect to any plan submissions required by virtue of such classification.
(2) Attainment dates for nonattainment areas
(A) The attainment date for an area designated nonattainment with respect to a national primary ambient air quality standard shall be the date by which attainment can be achieved as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than 5 years from the date such area was designated nonattainment under section 7407 (d) of this title, except that the Administrator may extend the attainment date to the extent the Administrator determines appropriate, for a period no greater than 10 years from the date of designation as nonattainment, considering the severity of nonattainment and the availability and feasibility of pollution control measures.
(B) The attainment date for an area designated nonattainment with respect to a secondary national ambient air quality standard shall be the date by which attainment can be achieved as expeditiously as practicable after the date such area was designated nonattainment under section 7407 (d) of this title.
(C) Upon application by any State, the Administrator may extend for 1 additional year (hereinafter referred to as the "Extension Year") the attainment date determined by the Administrator under subparagraph (A) or (B) if—
(i) the State has complied with all requirements and commitments pertaining to the area in the applicable implementation plan, and
(ii) in accordance with guidance published by the Administrator, no more than a minimal number of exceedances of the relevant national ambient air quality standard has occurred in the area in the year preceding the Extension Year.
No more than 2 one-year extensions may be issued under this subparagraph for a single nonattainment area.
(b) Schedule for plan submissions
At the time the Administrator promulgates the designation of an area as nonattainment with respect to a national ambient air quality standard under section 7407 (d) of this title, the Administrator shall establish a schedule according to which the State containing such area shall submit a plan or plan revision (including the plan items) meeting the applicable requirements of subsection (c) of this section and section 7410 (a)(2) of this title. Such schedule shall at a minimum, include a date or dates, extending no later than 3 years from the date of the nonattainment designation, for the submission of a plan or plan revision (including the plan items) meeting the applicable requirements of subsection (c) of this section and section 7410 (a)(2) of this title.
(c) Nonattainment plan provisions
The plan provisions (including plan items) required to be submitted under this part shall comply with each of the following:
(1) In general
Such plan provisions shall provide for the implementation of all reasonably available control measures as expeditiously as practicable (including such reductions in emissions from existing sources in the area as may be obtained through the adoption, at a minimum, of reasonably available control technology) and shall provide for attainment of the national primary ambient air quality standards.
(3) Inventory
Such plan provisions shall include a comprehensive, accurate, current inventory of actual emissions from all sources of the relevant pollutant or pollutants in such area, including such periodic revisions as the Administrator may determine necessary to assure that the requirements of this part are met.
(4) Identification and quantification
Such plan provisions shall expressly identify and quantify the emissions, if any, of any such pollutant or pollutants which will be allowed, in accordance with section 7503 (a)(1)(B) of this title, from the construction and operation of major new or modified stationary sources in each such area. The plan shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrator that the emissions quantified for this purpose will be consistent with the achievement of reasonable further progress and will not interfere with attainment of the applicable national ambient air quality standard by the applicable attainment date.
(5) Permits for new and modified major stationary sources
Such plan provisions shall require permits for the construction and operation of new or modified major stationary sources anywhere in the nonattainment area, in accordance with section 7503 of this title.
(6) Other measures
Such plan provisions shall include enforceable emission limitations, and such other control measures, means or techniques (including economic incentives such as fees, marketable permits, and auctions of emission rights), as well as schedules and timetables for compliance, as may be necessary or appropriate to provide for attainment of such standard in such area by the applicable attainment date specified in this part.
(7) Compliance with section 7410(a)(2)
(8) Equivalent techniques
Upon application by any State, the Administrator may allow the use of equivalent modeling, emission inventory, and planning procedures, unless the Administrator determines that the proposed techniques are, in the aggregate, less effective than the methods specified by the Administrator.
(9) Contingency measures
Such plan shall provide for the implementation of specific measures to be undertaken if the area fails to make reasonable further progress, or to attain the national primary ambient air quality standard by the attainment date applicable under this part. Such measures shall be included in the plan revision as contingency measures to take effect in any such case without further action by the State or the Administrator.
(d) Plan revisions required in response to finding of plan inadequacy
Any plan revision for a nonattainment area which is required to be submitted in response to a finding by the Administrator pursuant to section 7410 (k)(5) of this title (relating to calls for plan revisions) must correct the plan deficiency (or deficiencies) specified by the Administrator and meet all other applicable plan requirements of section 7410 of this title and this part. The Administrator may reasonably adjust the dates otherwise applicable under such requirements to such revision (except for attainment dates that have not yet elapsed), to the extent necessary to achieve a consistent application of such requirements. In order to facilitate submittal by the States of adequate and approvable plans consistent with the applicable requirements of this chapter, the Administrator shall, as appropriate and from time to time, issue written guidelines, interpretations, and information to the States which shall be available to the public, taking into consideration any such guidelines, interpretations, or information provided before November 15, 1990.
(e) Future modification of standard
If the Administrator relaxes a national primary ambient air quality standard after November 15, 1990, the Administrator shall, within 12 months after the relaxation, promulgate requirements applicable to all areas which have not attained that standard as of the date of such relaxation. Such requirements shall provide for controls which are not less stringent than the controls applicable to areas designated nonattainment before such relaxation.

"(2) Before July 1, 1979, the requirements of the regulation referred to in paragraph (1) shall be waived by the Administrator with respect to any pollutant if he determines that the State has—

"(ii) requires existing sources to achieve such reduction in emissions in the area as may be obtained through the adoption, at a minimum of reasonably available control technology, and
"(C) a program which requires reductions in total allowable emissions in the area prior to July 1, 1979, so as to provide for the same level of emission reduction as would result from the application of the regulation referred to in paragraph (1).The Administrator shall terminate such waiver if in his judgment the reduction in emissions actually being attained is less than the reduction on which the waiver was conditioned pursuant to subparagraph (C), or if the Administrator determines that the State is no longer in compliance with any requirement of this paragraph. Upon application by the State, the Administrator may reinstate a waiver terminated under the preceding sentence if he is satisfied that such State is in compliance with all requirements of this subsection.
"(3) Operating permits may be issued to those applicants who were properly granted construction permits, in accordance with the law and applicable regulations in effect at the time granted, for construction of a new or modified source in areas exceeding national primary air quality standards on or before the date of the enactment of this Act [Aug. 7, 1977] if such construction permits were granted prior to the date of the enactment of this Act and the person issued any such permit is able to demonstrate that the emissions from the source will be within the limitations set forth in such construction permit."

Filling the executive director position at the Thousand Islands Area Habitat for Humanity was a bit premature, its board president says.
Walter H. Plumley said the agency has been without an executive director since mid-October, just three months after William R. Davis Jr. was hired for that position. Mr. Plumley said the board was not quite ready for such a position.
We put the cart before the horse, he said. Were taking this time to put policies in place, and go through that strategic planning so were prepared. Its to be better prepared, and know what were doing and what we want to do. We werent working as a cohesive unit.
Mr. Plumley didnt comment on Mr. Daviss leadership, but said issues about the executive director position stemmed from the board of directors.
Well come to a day where we will have an executive director and be on the same page, Mr. Plumley said. Ideally, when the executive director came on board, we were going to go from a working board to a governing board. We had to find out what we want to do. Were a working board and a governing board now. That hasnt changed a whole lot. With anticipation and excitement, we jumped ahead on an executive director. We took a leap of faith, so to speak.
The agency announced in February that it would begin an executive director search, and by late June, board members asked Mr. Davis to be the local Habitat affiliates first paid executive director. He began work July 1, but his tenure ended up being shorter than anticipated.
Mr. Plumley said the board had to go through a lengthy process, but its something that will have to be repeated when the agency is truly ready to have an executive director. The simple goal of the executive director, he said, will be to provide oversight and outreach.
The annual salary Mr. Davis was making which Mr. Plumley would not discuss will remain in a money market account. Mr. Plumley said the funds will sit there in order to be available when needed for the next executive directors salary.
In summer 2011, the board considered a paid, part-time office worker, but that never came to fruition.
While the board figures out its strategic plan, Mr. Plumley said, board members will be busy with many projects. For a few months, the board has considered renovating homes in addition to its long-established practice of building homes.
It takes a long time to build a house from the ground up, and it takes a considerable amount of expense, Mr. Plumley said. We want to increase the number of families we put into homes. That would give us another avenue to work with.
He said the agency is struggling with building up the amount of land it purchases for future home construction. Empty building lots in and outside the city of Watertown, Mr. Plumley said, are one of many things on the agencys wish list.
Other items on the list are tools and a trailer to haul those tools and other equipment to building sites. Those items have been needed since $4,600 in tools and two storage trailers worth $12,000 were lost in a Sept. 26 fire that the Watertown Fire Department believes was intentionally set, possibly to cover up a burglary. The fire occurred at 1130 Superior St., where Habitat was to build its next home for a family.
Since the insurance deductible on the tools claim is $5,000, there will be no recovery of tools. With another $5,000 deductible on the trailer loss, Mr. Plumley said, hes hopeful the agency will be able to buy one storage trailer. An appeal to the community to help restock the agencys tool supplies has reached $1,000.
Mr. Plumley said the fire delayed construction of the house, so the foundation wont be poured until spring.

Rock Cycle
Everything goes in cycles, even rocks! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby explain how one type of rock can actually become another! You'll explore the three types of rock — igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary — and learn examples of each kind. How cool is it that one of these types is actually made out of living things! You also find out how heat, pressure, and erosion all play a part in the process that can transform igneous rock into metamorphic rock...and then back again. You'll never look at a pebble the same way again!

Santevia adds calcium, magnesium, and other beneficial minerals normally filtered out of your tap water. The result: water that's just as healthy as the mineral spring water you find in stores, but without the premium price or plastic waste.
With Santevia, you can enjoy water in its purest form. By echoing the earth's natural mineral filtration, Santevia restores tap water to the composition nature intended. It also reduces common tap water ingredients you don't want, like heavy metals and industrial chemicals, leaving you with healthy, great tasting water.
Your body requires an optimal pH level to function properly, and works hard to balance acid and alkaline to maintain it. The average diet today has a more acidic pH level, which can lead to inflammation and illness. Santevia infuses your water with nourishing alkaline minerals, which helps restore your pH balance.
A balanced body recovers from illness faster, stays healthy, and performs more efficiently. Santevia Alkaline Water supports a healthy pH balance–that's why it's a popular choice for fitness buffs, athletes and people suffering from chronic illness. It's also great for anti-aging, supporting immune function, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
One Santevia Alkaline Water System can eliminate up to 14,600 single-use plastic bottles every year. With a Santevia system in your home, you have a constant source of clean, mineralized, alkaline water. When you're on-the-go, just fill up a BPA-free water bottle like our Santevia Tritan Water Bottle. You'll be saving money, and saving the planet!
Your body's natural pH level is 7.36, which it works hard to maintain. Unfortunately, the highly processed, unhealthy diets of today tend to be more acidic on the pH scale, which can lead to illness and disease as the body uses its resources to maintain its balance. Your pH level impacts all of your body's cells, tissues, glands, organs, and organ systems–that's EVERYTHING in your body. Increasing your alkalinity to 7.36 alleviates stress on your organ systems right down to the cells, helping your body fight off illness and disease. Many people are choosing alkaline water to support the body in maintaining optimal pH levels, which also promotes optimal health.
With Santevia's convenient water filtration products, you can enjoy healthy, mineralized alkaline water and restore balance anytime, anywhere.
