CENTRAL FALLS — A bomb threat involving Central Falls City Hall prompted an evacuation of employees and tied up traffic along Dexter Street and the surrounding area for more than two hours on Friday morning.
The threat proved to be unfounded and Police Chief James Mendonca gave the "all clear" at around 12:15 p.m. after the Rhode Island State Police Bomb Squad declared the building safe. Two police dogs, trained to detect explosive devices, were used to search the facility and no evidence of any bomb was found.
Mendonca said at about 10 a.m., police received a three phone calls to its 911 line warning of a bomb at City Hall. He said the calls, in what sounded like a male's voice, came in quick succession and are believed to be from the same person.
Mendonca said City Hall employees, along with roofing company workers who were on top of the building, were told to evacuate and the nearby streets were cordoned off. He said police and fire officials did a preliminary check and then the state police bomb squad was contacted. "We have to take everything like this seriously," he stated.
Deputy Fire Chief John Garvey said that because of his familiarity with the layout of City Hall, he and a member of the State Fire Marshal's Office did an initial walk-through and saw nothing suspicious. However, as a precaution, the decision was made to bring in the bomb-sniffing dogs, he said.
Mayor James Diossa said he was just returning from a meeting when he learned that the building was being evacuated. He said his primary concern was for people's safety. "We're taking all the necessary steps. It's always important that we don't take these things lightly, especially after what happened in Boston," he stated.
Diossa added, "I strongly believe in the abilities of the men and women of our police and fire departments to get to the bottom of whoever pulled this prank."
Several employees noted that they had been in the middle of enjoying a "May Breakfast" that had been put on for them at City Hall when the call came in to evacuate.
Randy, an employee of Apollo Roofing, watched from a nearby parking lot as the bomb-sniffing dogs were led in to City Hall. Even though no explosive device was found, he admitted to feeling a little bit of trepidation about climbing back up on the steeply pitched roof after the dogs' brief search. "Say that Apollo Roofing even works the dangerous jobs," he joked, as he headed back to work.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A Bay area woman is sharing her story after neighbors helped save her life.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Theresa Sais was nearly killed Friday evening when her ex-boyfriend broke into the home they used to share. The suspect, Kevin Manzoli, was arrested and charged with attempted homicide.
It happened Friday night at Sais' home along the 3800 block of 58th Avenue. Sais said Manzoli broke a window to get inside her home.
"[He] came towards me and said, 'You're going to die. You're going to die. It's your time to die,'" she said.
According to Sais, she screamed for help and Manzoli started choking her.
"He got me down there and I couldn't see anymore. I saw white in my eyes," she said.
Neighbor Eve Poehlman was the first to take action after seeing Manzoli break the window and hearing the screams. She knew there was a history of violence between the two. Manzoli was just released from jail December 3rd following a domestic violence charge.
Poehlman rushed in and did her best to pull Manzoli off his ex-girlfriend. "I was holding my hands up like this, telling somebody to get Walter. 'Please get Walter.' Cause I'm only 80 pounds. I couldn't hold him any longer," she said.
Another neighbor ran to get Walter Johnson, who hurried into the home. Manzoli was not expecting him. "His eyes got big. I just picked him up and threw him, like, five feet out the door," said Johnson.
After some shoving, Johnson said he forced Manzoli to the ground, where he stayed until deputies arrived.
But neither neighbor considers themselves a hero. "Any typical man would do this, regardless. If they don't, then they need to be ashamed of themselves," said Johnson.
"Oh, no. I'm not no hero. I work for Jesus, not the law," said Poehlman.
Sais, however, feels a bit differently. She's very thankful for the two, and some help, she said, from above.
"Somebody's watching over me," she said.
Manzoliis also chargedwith aggravated stalking. Detectives said he called Sais multiple times and sent threatening text messages.

Photo: Barton Silverman/The New York Times
For me, the Super Bowl is less about this (above) and more about this (below).
This year, I was even more excited for the ads as 2 of them were to be screened in 3D. But then, why did the commercial breaks come and go leaving me feeling like the day after a bad New Year's party? Overall, this Super Bowl was a general dud in the ad department but a gleaming diamond in terms of the game. Even I, who generally spends the game wondering what the hell is going on, was screaming as The Steelers turned it all around in the final moments.
But back to the ads. There were some Rubik's Cubes in the rough. I have to leave out the two 3D ads as my local CVS didn't have the glasses. Shocker. Click here or on the Super Bowl ad image above to watch all of the ads from the Super Bowl and rate on Hulu.
The Good
Pepsi: Pepsuber
My favorite commercial is one part, popular SNL skit MacGruber and one part, Pepsi commercial. For final flair, MacGyver makes a cameo in the spot. Jazz hands.
Hulu: Alec in Huluwood
Alec Baldwin can do no wrong and his comedic genius comes through yet again in this spot. Baldwin takes you into the Hollywood sign for a rare look inside Huluwood. I think perhaps the spot was reaching a bit only at the end. Loving it, loving it, loving it, wha?!
Pepsi: Refresh Anthem
Way to stick it to Coke and tug at my heart strings simultaneously. And modeling your new logo after Obama's campaign logo? Ingenious.
The Ugly
Careerbuilder.com: Tips
For an American population with general lack of focus, perhaps they thought the redundancy angle was a good one. But really, the repetition in this commercial just made me want to hurl my television out my 8th floor window. If you hate your job and this commercial, blame Careerbuilder. By far, the worst commercial of the night.
Teleflora: Talking Flowers
So, I'm trying to envision the marketing meeting where it was decided that this commercial was a good idea. Flowers = Feeling bad about myself. Genius. The flowers this woman receives berate her while all of her co-workers watch. Way to SUCK the fun out of Valentine's Day Teleflora. Debbie Downer, party of one? Debbie Downer.
Castrol Oil: Edge Monkeys
One world: Creepy.
The Best of the Best
Terry Tate: Office Linebacker aired during the Super Bowl in 2003. This Reebok ad is still the best ad for me in terms of storyline. If you ask Reebok though, it wasn't a success. Apart from being a hysterical commercial with a fantastic storyline, the ad lacked a direct call-to-action and ended up doing nothing for Reebok's bottom line. Still, you kill the joe, you make some mo'. I pour one out for Terry Tate…

There is no immediate plan or decision to close the Colleen Quigley Women's Shelter in Price, according to the Utah Department of Human Services.
DHS public information officer Elizabeth Sollis told the Sun Advocate that although the department will probably have to trim some more services systemwide as a result of the last round of budget cuts, "We haven't decided where to cut yet. We would not close any center without a needs assessment and contact with the public."
Colleen Quigley Women's Shelter is entirely funded by the state. It was begun more than 25 years ago to provide a haven and counseling services for victims of domestic abuse.

Rather than write out an entire story regarding this matter, here is a blog that relays the story with good accuracy as it has been told to me through several people.
Please note that at this point, no one has heard Jason's side of the story publicly, and although I don't feel he can possibly defend his actions. Everyone deserves a chance to tell their story. To this point, I am just as disappointed in the organizations lack of action with the player, as I am in the action of the player himself.

A low-key alternative to a baby shower, a sprinkle is a casual get together. Three friends hosted the lil soiree for me, and the guest list rounded out at six as my daughter and a friend's baby also attended. We enjoyed mocktails and munchies — fruit salad, spinach dip, and miniature cupcakes — while chatting about the impending babe. I was gifted lovely presents from practical velvet space-saving hangers to postpartum hospital pajamas. If you want to make a mother-to-be feel special without all the hoopla of a formal affair, a sprinkle expresses the perfect amount of sentiment.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Starting this semester, USU-CEU students will see the campus being a little more green than has been in years past.
Administration and students from USU-CEU and the Green Team have partnered together to provide the campus with recycling trailers to help promote recycling among students. Two trailers have been placed on the campus with one placed outside of the Jennifer Leavitt Student Building and the other placed in the northwest parking lot on the corner of 3rd East and 6th North.
Green Team members Jeanne McEvoy and Ryan Peterson met with students on campus last Thursday and gave a presentation on what the Green Team is looking to accomplish, recycling information and how students can get involved with the process on campus.
The presentation was attended by students from campus involved in areas including the USU-CEU SUNCenter, CEU Ambassadors, student government and resident assistants.
Jeanne McEvoy said she was impressed by the enthusiasm among the students who attended the presentation.
"It was a very positive event and it should have a good impact on them (students) and a productive impact on the community," McEvoy said.
The process of providing a recycling option on campus has been in the works for over a year, McEvoy said, and it was students from the college who requested to work with the Green Team.
The Green Team touched on several points during their presentation such as continuing to work on educating the community to understand how to reduce and reuse, providing the community with recycling information, partnering with local businesses and community members to collect and establish recycling in the area and setting up recycling points in central locations throughout Carbon County.
"Without community support and effort recycling would not be possible," Peterson said. "There is a lot of backing support from the campus, with the very assessable locations for the trailers. Because of that students may be more likely to recycle on campus."
Students are not the only ones excited to see recycling come to campus. Todd Olsen, director of admissions and scholarships and an EUSA student government adviser, has been wanting to see recycling come to campus for some time. Olsen said previous attempts to bring recycling to campus have occurred, but with the students, staff and the Green Team working together, he thinks it will work this time around.
"It's phenomenal to see this happening on campus," Olsen said. "This (presentation) gives recycling some notoriety and gets more attention on campus for it."
Some of the students at the presentation asked questions about what could and could not be recycled, where the trailers would be placed and how the word could be spread among the rest of the campus. McEvoy offered a suggestion with a competition between dorms over who recycles more. By bringing up ideas and having conversations with students on campus, the success of the program is more likely because of the working relationship it creates between the college and the community, Olsen said.
"Students are asking questions, they know what they want and how to execute the plan," Olsen said. "This recycling program will help develop the important community and college relationship. Now we need to get the rest of the community involved and try to get them as excited about this as us"
While this is a good start by bringing recycling to the campus, Olsen said this could be one step toward possibly getting a recycling center in the area.
"Why not take it to that vision," Olsen said.
Kade Magleby, a USU-CEU Ambassador and sophomore, said that is recycling is important to have on campus, but he feels that there is a lot of work to do with getting more students on campus to start recycling.
"Getting students on campus to start recycling may be hard to do, so they may need to be challenged to start recycling," Magleby said. "This is a big step, because it's providing an opportunity to recycle, but there is a lot more ahead for us to do in the future."
While the Green Team is putting two trailers into place on the college campus, they are also providing Helper with a recycling trailer and are looking to have it in place for residents very shortly, Peterson said.
For more information about recycling options and locations, call Jeanne McEvoy at (435) 650-9249 or visit pricecityutah.com for more information.

Ragging and Violations of Human Rights in India
Ragging has been prevalent in India for a long time. It has ruined countless careers, injured thousands and killed many.
Still, our society is bearing with it.
Though less than the tip of the iceberg reaches the media (in ragging cases), about 31 ragging deaths were reported between 2000-2007, including the 7 in 2007 alone.
Many more have been seriously injured and/or disabled while countless of innocent teenagers have been physically and sexually abused.
We are trying to put an end to this evil of ragging by -
(i) spreading the awareness by various means
(ii) supporting the victims
(iii) promoting healthy and humane modes of interactions between the seniors and the juniors, while discouraging ragging
(iv) setting up / promoting anti ragging units within the campuses by involving the students, the faculty and the staff.
The society has already made a long delay to stand against ragging, and it has paid the price as lost lives and careers as well as bereaved families.
SAVE appeals to every conscientious citizen to be with it in this movement against ragging by the Indian civil society.

As someone who had enough experience on both sides of ragging (and, to some extent, enjoyed both), I think your campaign is lacking something. While I am now getting averse to ragging, I know a lot of students think like I used to, i.e. they don't consider it as an evil. But the way this campaign starts, pointing out ragging as an evil from the first line, it is not likely to get any attention from those people. But those are the people involved in ragging!
I think it will be important for your campaign to actually win over such students as well, and for that to happen, perhaps use a pitch that they can identify with. For example, many people who favor ragging consider it a way of intermingling people... whether or not you agree with that, I think it will be pragmatic to acknowledge this fact, and then point out that the other possible shortcomings of ragging outweight this benefit.
Never heard of what happens to students (in terms of career) who rag?
Further, there is a severe punishment for ragging in IITs; students lose either a semester or a full year. This has happened to one of my friends when I was in final year. Though I would classify that as a very mild form of ragging, but ...
Would strict rules in colleges deter students to rag rigorously?
I understand your point, Nitin. It is true that those who rag, enjoy it...and that is why they rag!
I shall place your point before the Executive Body of our organization, which is possibly the first and the only registered Anti Ragging NGO in India.
We have been working on this issue, and keeping in touch with the Indian authorities.
Kapil, law can hardly do it alone. There are strict laws in India, at least from last May onwards, but those are hardly ever implemented.
Punishment is needed, else the crime would flourish more.
But what is needed more, for the prevention of ragging, is the awareness.
If any of you (or someone else) have any query, suggestion, etc., please feel free to send us an email at-
I understand your point. I have posted a reply in the blog.
Law can hardly do it alone. There are strict laws in India, at least from last May onwards, but those are hardly ever implemented.

But what is needed more, for the prevention of ragging, is the awareness.
There is another interesting article on the subject -
Personally, I tolerated the crap (read fueled the egos of some sad seniors who cudn't earn any respect otherwise). I later learned that these students actually misuse ragging and even mis behave and talk obscene things in front of girls - which they wudn't dare otherwise. If ragging was a means of befriending such people I wud rather stay away from them.
I refused to any form of ragging and was hated by most seniors. I became popular amongst juniors as I helped them out of it. Fair trade off I guess. I got threatened by one of the goons amongst seniors but the rules were stringent during our year and I was a day scholar. Enjoyed fooling the seniors during the first few days though! ;) Our seniors were from a different university/syllabi and served no USE - which wud be reflected as the good thing bout ragging. We ended up helping them with their projects... :)
If there are people who think it is a good means to break ice - I can only feel sorry for them. There are better ways to find your friends - I think for most people they make the best of their friends at colleges and I guess it is rarely ragging that fetches u such frens! :) Sometimes it is uniting against such seniors that gets u good frens... I have mine who I have been for over a decade now! :)
Asking your juniors to get the bio of a cute gal or a boy just coz u can't do it is a cheap gesture. Going beyond and harassing juniors physically or sexually is a heinous crime!
I am glad there is some such effort to fight this... I think laws do help. Seniors should earn their respect and not force it. I know some juniors act too smart but resorting to such means doesn't help either party. Sometimes things are pulled too far with laws and they become a means to "chai paani" for punes and wardens. I know a particular case in which a student _requested_ his junior to get some papad from home town. He had to pay 15K fine for the same!!! :)
I strongly support your views, Mayank.
However, I had watched the video. A nice one, but possibly not the first video as has been claimed.
Anyway, when countless of innocent students are being seriously abused and hundreds of them are getting badly injured...for no acceptable reason, we must join hands against ragging.

The average time is expected to be about 30 minutes, but there is no time limit.
Excerpts on ragging from Dilip D'Souza's blog post on doctors:
Been thinking of doctors of late. First, some budding doctors at a medical college in Tanda, Himachal Pradesh.
It's a tragic, nauseating story. Ragging like this is horrible enough; but somehow ragging like this by boys who plan to be doctors is both nauseating and frightening. What kind of care for the health and well-being of a patient can you expect from a doctor who, as a student, thrashed juniors purely for being junior?

true ragging has adverse effects but to much reinforcement of laws against has lead to bossy juniors. n they are no doubt taking undue advantage. from small to big the only word we can hear is "i can file a case of ragging against you if u dont provide me this". so one has to keep a check on the other side as well.
do reply me on my id for further quries.

|Carry (Yards)
|Total Distance (Yards)
|Wedge Spin (RPM)
(Per Dozen)
|Titleist Pro V1
(Street Price)
|MG Tour C4
Only $19.99!
|C4: +6.7 yds.
|C4: +9.2 yds.
|Pro V1: +247 RPM
C4: $28.00 Less!
|Test performed July 12, 2013 against the most current Titleist Pro V1 available for retail sale.
I wanted to know how our Tour C4 stacked up against "The #1 Ball in Golf," the Titleist Pro V1. So I took a sample of 2 dozen balls each, and headed out to our test facility to hit them with our Iron Byron swing robot. I measured their carry, total distance, accuracy, and wedge spin.
What were the results? The robot testing showed that the Tour C4 actually beat the Pro V1 in carry (by 6.7 yds.) and distance (by 9.2 yds!)! And they were very close on spin (within 250 RPM)! (Read more about the testing process with the Iron Byron swing robot here.)
But how about accuracy? Was the Tour C4 as accurate as the Pro V1? It was actually more accurate! Both balls were very accurate but the Tour C4 with 5.4 yds. of standard deviation edged out the Pro V1 with its 5.8 yds. (Simply put, standard deviation is a statistical measure of how far the balls go outside the average. Lower numbers are better.)
Imagine that! The Tour C4 didn't stop at matching the performance of the "The #1 Ball in Golf" IT BEAT IT!
But that's not the whole story, on price it gets even better.The Tour C4 not only beats Titleist's $47.99/dzn street price at $19.99/dzn it just trounces the Pro V1!
With the Tour C4 being clearly superior to the Pro V1 in practically every measure, unless you are a Tour pro sponsored by Titleist, is there really any honest reason not to at least try the Tour C4?
As said before, the Tour C4 beat the Pro V1 both in carry and total distance. But what is the difference between the two?
Carry is simply the distance the ball travels from the tee to where it hits the ground while the total distance is from the tee to where the ball finally rolls to a stop (essentially carry + roll).
It's fairly obvious why total distance is important. But what about carry? Well, how many times have you hit a drive where it didn't quite clear a hazard? You probably said something like 'if only I would have got just 5 more yards, I wouldn't have lost my ball in the water!' The Tour C4 gives you that and more nearly 7 more yards of carry!
We started by reformulating the chemistry of the core to produce a much higher velocity than ever before. This was really a key element.
Next, because the urethane cover of the 3-piece Tour C4 is very thin, that core could also be made extra-large. And that, of course, makes your drives go extra long. The aerodynamic 332-dimple design of the Tour C4 also helps deliver those extra long drives. This ball flies straight and high, and lands hot making your drives go longer.
The ultra-soft urethane cover, with improved durability, gives you the high spin you need with your irons and wedges to stop the ball on the green with stunning accuracy. Off a wedge, the Tour C4 spin rate is in line with the Pro V1 (within 250 RPM). On fast greens you can back the ball up 15 feet or more with either ball. And around the greens, the soft feel of the Tour C4 makes it easier to control and chip the ball closer to the pin for more one-putts.
We also employed state-of-the-art machinery and personnel to make the accuracy of the Tour C4 second to none. To make golf balls that are this accurate requires engineering and manufacturing of the utmost precision. Like car tires that are out of balance, any inconsistency in core placement and density, dimples, cover depth, etc ... will affect the performance of the ball commensurate with the degree of the defect. The extent that Tour C4 eliminates these inconsistencies puts it among an elite few golf balls that comes as close to perfect as is now humanly possible.
Think about this: All of the top professionals in golf play a urethane ball, and a majority play the Pro V1 (that's why Titleist bills itself as being "The #1 Ball in Golf"). These are balls that can be played at the highest levels of competition. Knowing that your Tour C4 actually beat "The #1 Ball in Golf" in carry and total distance, practically matches their spin and accuracy, and has great feel will give you a real confidence boost that can transform your game. You won�t get that with any non-urethane ball.
I really want you to try the Tour C4 balls because I know you will shoot lower scores. So I�ll make you this unbeatable deal:
Try the Pro V1 beating MG Tour C4 urethane balls for only $19.99 per dozen. If you aren�t satisfied with the improvement your game has made, just send the balls back within 60 days for your refund (even if they�re used!). You take no risk! Why pay $47.99/dzn for Pro V1 balls when you can pay only $19.99/dzn for Tour C4 balls that beat them? Order your MG Tour C4 balls today!
To prove to ourselves that a new product performs well enough to offer it to you, we rely on our testing facility. At the heart of our facility is the Iron Byron swing robot. This machine imitates the golf swing of the late golfing great Byron Nelson, who arguably had the best golf swing of any man ever. The Iron Byron duplicates this human swing, every single time.
All during the test we monitor weather conditions gathered from the weather station that sits high above the roof. Wind velocity and direction, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure must all be within tight tolerances to continue. If at any time these fall outside the proper range we suspend testing until conditions permit.
For the distance measurements, the balls are hit down a 320 yard long fairway with yardage markers. Field testers place sensors where the ball lands (for carry) and where it finally stops (total distance). The distance of those sensors is then calculated using an engineering-grade laser measuring instrument. It captures the data electronically and sends it to a record in a computer database that also contains the weather data simultaneously captured from other equipment. As an additional check, the electronic distance measurements are confirmed with the field testers via two way radios.
For the spin measurements, each ball has special markings applied for later analysis. It is then hit with a wedge in the Iron Byron. A high-speed camera takes up to 10 images recording the first 10 inches of the ball's flight. The images of the marked ball are merged into one and that is then computer analyzed, calculating and recording the spin rate, launch angle and ball velocity.
The Iron Byron swing robot allowed us to compare the MG Tour C4 performance against the Pro V1 under identical conditions with identical hits. Our measurements included carry distance, total distance, accuracy, and wedge spin rates. The data produced from these rigorous tests lets us confidently say without hesitation, the Tour C4 BEAT Pro V1!

(StatePoint) Childhood obesity rates have skyrocketed over the past 30 years. Right now, one-third of American kids are overweight or obese.
Since most kids consume half their daily calories at school, healthy eating habits must be addressed both at home and in the classroom. Here are some tips.
Make a bento box: Instead of packing the traditional entrée and sides, make lunch out of small snacks in a multi-compartment box.  Hardboiled eggs, raisins, an apple or other fresh fruit, crackers, tuna fish, pasta salad, veggies, dips and more.Â
Travel the world: Go with an international theme each day, such as Mexican, Asian or Italian. Include an educational note about the meal's origin.Â
Include a surprise: Kids love surprises, such as favorite photos, stickers or a reminder about an upcoming event. A lunch box surprise can make your child's day extra special.Â
Busy parents may not have the time to pack lunch each day. But programs like Wholesome Tummies are providing schools with affordable, healthy, kid-friendly lunches. More information can be found at www.wholesometummies.com.
But nutrition is only half the equation. As screen time competes for kids' attention, active time is decreasing. And exercise is crucial to preventing obesity, improving motor skills and providing a social outlet.
Unfortunately, not all kids are receptive.
"One of the biggest challenges is getting shy kids to participate," says Jyl Camhi, co-founder of Great Play, a children's gym franchise that uses interactive technology and a progressive curriculum based on motor-skill development.
Camhi is offering tips to coax a child forward in a group fitness scenario:
Allow spectating: The first time in a new environment can be emotionally draining. Stay for an entire class and return the next time.
Never force participation: Be a source of comfort for your child while he or she sits on the sidelines. Your child will feed off your energy.
Look for peer leaders: Outgoing children are often thrilled to help another child feel more comfortable.
Sometimes leaving helps: Oftentimes kids behave better when they don't have a parental crutch to lean on.
Pay attention to leaders' personalities: Whether it's classes, sports or school, the leader can make or break the experience. Does the coach make kids comfortable? Look for telltale signs and find a coach that works well with your child.
There are some trends not worth following -- and an unhealthy lifestyle is one of them. With the right tools and tricks, you can be a positive influence on your kids' health.

|Fire Heavily Damages Deep Gap Home
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 25 May 2013 05:16
Firefighters from three counties responded to a house fire early Saturday morning in the Deep Gap Fire district. The call came in just before 4:30am at a home on Moretz Farm Road, just off US 221 near the Ashe line inside Watauga, with reports saying that the house had smoke and flames
visible from an upper level. It appeared that all occupants of the two story house escaped the fire as Deep Gap, Fleetwood, Boone, Blowing Rock, Todd, Champion and other resources converged on the scene. Flames were seen shooting out of the roof at one end of the house, and a lot of fire, smoke, and water damage was evident. The Watauga Fire Marshal was called to the scene to assess the cause and damage, while the American Red Cross was called in to help the residents find shelter and deal with other needs.

Are you starting out as a firefighter and are getting ready to buy your first pair of fire boots? Having the right gear is very important, but in no area is this more true than your feet!
While you may think of your feet only as an afterthought as you go out to our assignments, they're actually your number one ally. Don't believe me? Try carrying a victim out of a building when you have blisters on the backs of both ankles. Then you'll want to do just about anything to take the pain away. Additionally, since you wear boots to work and your feet sweat, you're at risk for Athlete's Foot, Jungle Foot, Foot Fungus, ingrown toenails and other unpleasant and painful conditions.
Additionally, if you're wearing improper gear, you can also be at risk for other injuries on the job. For example, if you're wearing ill-fitting boots, you're more at risk for a sprained ankle or even a broken bone. Not only will that get you taken off duty for recovery, but you could end up stuck in a burning building and unable to escape due to your injury. That is definitely a nightmare situation for any firefighter!
With all that in mind, one of your main priorities should be taking care of your feet by choosing the right brand for you. Read on to learn more about how to choose the perfect pair of boots to keep your feet safe and comfortable while you're out, you know, saving lives.
Consider Going Custom
Since your fire boots are going to be your lifeline to better performance on your shift, you'll want to make sure you get the best pair you can find. Brands vary by material, size and quality, and not all sizes fit all (pun intended!). If possible, you can consider going with a brand that lets you submit your foot measurements and material preferences and order the perfect pair of boots for your feet. While custom-made boots may cost a bit more, remember that if you invest in a perfect pair you'll be able to keep them longer. Boots that fit better won't need to be replaced as often.
Great Brands to Try On for Size
Most firefighters overwhelmingly recommend White's Smokejumper boots. Running at $400, these boots are a worthy investment. However, don't be afraid to check out other brands, like Under Armor, Magnum, Rocky and Smith and Wesson. Remember to make sure to try on your fire boots before actually settling on making a purchase.
Once you have your perfect pair of boots, keep them looking swell by polishing them regularly. This will also prevent against any damage or wear and tear that will diminish their quality.
Don't Forget Socks!
After you have your ideal pair of fire boots, don't forget to find the ideal pair of socks. Ill-fitting socks can give you painful blisters, even in the most comfortable custom-made boot.
Experts recommend wearing two pairs of socks made of natural fibers. One great brand is Smartwool, which is designed to keep your feet protected and warm while not being too scratchy. You can also layer them easily without having them bunch up or rub you the wrong way.

Black Garlic = No Bad Breath?Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
This product may taste like garlic, but allegedly, the ones consuming this food do not suffer from bad breath. "Black garlic" is created by fermenting a garlic bulb in high temperature for about a month. On the outside, it looks like a normal garlic bulb with the same papery skin. On the inside, it appears to be black with a softer texture.
It is often used in fish dishes, and is popular because it is not as potent as conventional garlic.
The downfall is that it costs quite a bit more to buy these bulbs than it does to purchase regular bulbs in supermarkets. However, no one likes halitosis, and this may be an answer for those who like food with garlic but not the smelly consequences!

The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), in cooperation with the National Mining Association, has named eight U.S. mining operations as winners of its annual "Sentinels of Safety" award in recognition of their outstanding safety records during 2001. Winning mining operations are from Alabama, Arizona, Nebraska., Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming.
The Black Thunder Mine, Thunder Basin Coal Company, LLC in Wright, Wyoming was the first place winner in the Surface Coal Group with 1,247,939 consecutive employee work hours without an injury that resulted in lost time from work. Black Thunder's number of hours was the most ever logged in the surface coal group award category and this was the mine's first appearance in the top five.
Other regional mines that ranked in the surface coal groups top five included: Kayenta Mine, Peabody Energy, Kayenta, Ariz., 920,846 hours; Jewett Mine, Northwestern Resources Co., Jewett, Ariz., 689,827 hours; Decker Mine, Decker Coal Co., Decker, Mont, 428,111 hours (2nd time in top five); Falkirk Mine, The Falkirk Mining Company, Underwood, N.Dak., 408,706 hours.
Utah's Dugout Canyon Mine, Canyon Fuel Company, LLC in Wellington, placed second in the Underground Coal Group with 134,402 hours while the Kennecott Barneys Canyon Mine, Kennecott Barneys Canyon Mine Co., in Bingham Canyon placed fifth in the Open Pit Group logging 135,854 hours.
"Qualifying to win this award requires an exemplary commitment to safety and health in the workplace," said Dave D. Lauriski, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "The winners all deserve the highest praise for their efforts to work safely each and every day."
Since 1926, mining operations in various operational categories have been recognized for achieving the highest number of employee work-hours without an injury that resulted in lost time from work. To qualify for a Sentinels of Safety award, a company must compile at least 30,000 employee work hours during the year without a lost-tune injury or fatality.
The eight winners were the Deep Mine #30 of Paramont Coal Corp. in Dante, Va.; the Black Thunder Mine of Thunder Basin Coal Co., in Wright, Wyo.; the Young Mine of ASARCO, Inc., in Strawberry Plains, Tenn.; the Weeping Water Mine of Martin Marietta Aggregates in Weeping Water, Neb.; the Phelps Dodge Sierrita, Inc., of Phelps Dodge Mining Co. in Green Valley, Ariz.; the Imerys Gantts Quarry of Imerys Carbonates, LLC in Sylacauga, Ala.; the Arena Plant of Hanson Aggregates South Central in Altair, Tex.; and the Briggs Plant of Fordyce, Ltd. in Victoria, Texas. An additional 32 mining operations in 17 states were also recognized for their exceptional safety record.

Any suggestions!?
I must add that all my movies played fine previously.
Many thanks
I had this problem awhile back and it solved itself. I never found the intial cause of the problem though.

The next four sections provide summary tables of MySQL Cluster
configuration parameters used in the
config.ini file to govern the cluster's
functioning. Each table lists the parameters for one of the
Cluster node process types (ndbd,
ndb_mgmd, and mysqld), and
includes the parameter's type as well as its default, mimimum, and
maximum values as applicable.
These tables also indicate what type of restart is required (node
restart or system restart)—and whether the restart must be
done with
--initial—to change the value of
a given configuration parameter.
When performing a node restart or an initial node restart, all of
the cluster's data nodes must be restarted in turn (also referred
to as a rolling restart). It is possible to
update cluster configuration parameters marked as
node online—that is, without shutting
down the cluster—in this fashion. An initial node restart
requires restarting each ndbd process with the
--initial option.
A system restart requires a complete shutdown and restart of the entire cluster. An initial system restart requires taking a backup of the cluster, wiping the cluster file system after shutdown, and then restoring from the backup following the restart.
In any cluster restart, all of the cluster's management servers must be restarted for them to read the updated configuration parameter values.
Values for numeric cluster parameters can generally be increased without any problems, although it is advisable to do so progressively, making such adjustments in relatively small increments. Many of these can be increased online, using a rolling restart.
However, decreasing the values of such parameters—whether
this is done using a node restart, node initial restart, or even
a complete system restart of the cluster—is not to be
undertaken lightly; it is recommended that you do so only after
careful planning and testing. This is especially true with
regard to those parameters that relate to memory usage and disk
space, such as
MaxNoOfOrderedIndexes, and
MaxNoOfUniqueHashIndexes. In addition, it is
the generally the case that configuration parameters relating to
memory and disk usage can be raised using a simple node restart,
but they require an initial node restart to be lowered.
Because some of these parameters can be used for configuring more than one type of cluster node, they may appear in more than one of the tables.
4294967039—which often appears as a
maximum value in these tables—is defined in the
NDBCLUSTER sources as
MAX_INT_RNIL and is equal to
0xFFFFFEFF, or
232 −
28 − 1.

|Capel Adds Two Transfers
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Friday, 23 July 2010 18:11
Appalachian State University men's basketball added a pair of transfers to the program as Briam Okam and G.J. Vilarino are enrolled for the fall, head coach Jason Capel announced on Wednesday.The new Mountaineers have three years of eligibility remaining and come from Rutgers and Gonzaga, respectively. The pair will sit out the 2010-11 season per NCAA transfer rules, before playing as sophomores the following year.
Capel said, "We are excited about the addition of both young men. They bring experience, a lot of athleticism and depth to what we already have. To have them sit out this season will be as valuable to the two of them as it is for the rest of the team. They are good people and good students, and will have a chance to get on the court a lot, so we are happy to have them. Brian and G.J. are going to contibute to the overall fabric of what we are doing here at ASU."
A 7-0, 245-pound center, Okam saw action in 16 games for the Scarlet Knights in 2009-10. He shot 45.5 percent from the field and averaged 1.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 76 minutes for Rutgers. The Enugu, Nigeria native scored a season-best six points against NJIT and hauled in three rebounds three times. Defensively, he swatted eight blocks and swiped one steal as a freshman.
Okam was rated ESPN's 15th-best prospect when he graduated from Orlando's Lake Highland High School in 2009. The honor student transfered to LHPS after playing the 2007-08 season at the Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Md., where he helped the team to a 21-4 record and the No. 10 East Coast ranking in the National Prep Poll.
"With Brian, we have a kid with a lot length and such a high ceiling to grow," said Capel. "With a year to sit out, he can continue to develop and we look for him to grow into quite a player in our league."
Vilarino is a 6-0, 175-pound guard who saw action in 25 games for Gonzaga as a freshman. He averaged 2.3 points in 7.8 minutes per contest. The McKinney, Texas native added five assists, eight steals and 13 boards on the season as well. He scored a season-high 10 points against Augustana and added six more against Santa Clara. Vilarino grabbed a season-best three rebounds against Syracuse.
At McKinney High, Vilarino averaged 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game as senior to lead the team to a 24-11 record. The squad finished second in District 9-4A play to finish second and advanced to second round of 2009 Conference 4A State Tournament. He earned all-state honors.
"G.J. brings quickness and athleticism that you don't see from many point guards and has a solid year of experience already," commented Capel.
The defending Southern Conference North champions graduated five seniors from 2009-10, but return SoCon Player of the Year Donald Sims and 65 percent of the team's scoring from last season.

The crows will have to wait a week.
With the expected severe weather expected Wednesday and today, the city announced Wednesday afternoon that this weeks planned crow hazing activities have been postponed.
Wildlife biologists from Loomacres Wildlife Management, Warnerville, were going to start the crow maneuvers Wednesday night and continue them until Friday night.
The snow will keep the crows away, said Elliott B. Nelson, assistant to the city manager.
Mr. Nelson said the wildlife biologists would have been unable to safely and effectively use crow hazing equipment during high winds, nor could they have visually tracked the flock during heavy snowfall. Now, the Loomacres team will be on hand for the previously scheduled three nights of crow hazing next Wednesday through Friday.
Residents still are encouraged to provide the location, estimated size, and dates and times of sightings of the crow flock. Loomacres Wildlife Management will continue to use this information as it works to move the crows out of the city.
The toll-free phone number to report crow activities within the city is 1 (800) 243-1462. To report crow activities online, go to www.airportwildlife.com/crows.php.
For further information or questions, call the city managers office at 785-7730.
The wildlife biologists plan to use lethal means as part of the arsenal to rid the city of crows. As part of those efforts, they will use high-powered air rifles to shoot some of the crows. City officials hope that by witnessing a few being killed, other birds will be scared off and leave the city.
Biologists also will use such hazing methods as playing distress calls, firing low-yield pyrotechnics and using hand-held lasers to scare away the birds.
They hope to find a more suitable roosting area for the birds to stay at night, in hopes of reducing the human health and safety risks associated with an urban crow roost.
During the hazing, residents may see or hear some of the techniques that will be used.
According to the contract, Loomacres the same company that the Watertown International Airport uses will provide 150 hours of crow dispersing by hazing. If biologists must work more than 150 hours, Loomacres will be paid a rate of $35 per hour, with a maximum of 90 additional hours, for a total of $7,843.

Jazz pianist Thelonious Monk is still uber-cool, even 31 years after his death. And he passed that cool along to his son, T.S. Monk, who carries on his father's legendary name as a jazz drummer and founder of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. As the son opens a new show in Miami, "Monk & Coltrane," we remember the cool that the father passed down. Written by Linnea Crowther. Originally published February 2012.
Thelonious Monk was no ordinary jazzman. A few notable qualities set him apart from the rest – for one, his style. Rings on his fingers, hat and sunglasses on his head, dressed in a dapper suit, he epitomized cool jazz style.

And it wasn't just his look that was cool. Everything about Monk's performances was jaw-droppingly hip. He pounded heavily at the piano's keys like a little kid who's never had a lesson – but Monk's heavy-handed style brought beauty from the instrument, not dissonance. Critics called him "the elephant on the keyboard," but jazz fans loved his spiky, percussive sounds.
And when he was done crashing his way through another hot solo, Monk didn't fade into the background while his bandmates took their turns. Instead, he would jump up from his piano bench and look on, shuffling his feet to the beat. His enthusiasm made the music all the more infectious.
Thelonious Monk died 31 years ago today, but his recordings and performances are as cool as ever.

Public Garden Career Center - View Job
Vice President for Landscape, Gardens and Outdoor Collections
Category: Manager
The New York Botanical Garden
Bronx, New York
Posted: Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Vice President for Landscape, Gardens and Outdoor Collections
The New York Botanical Garden is an advocate for the plant kingdom. The Garden pursues its mission through its role as a museum of living plant collections arranged in gardens and landscapes across its National Historic Landmark site; through its comprehensive education programs in horticulture and plant science; and through the wide-ranging research programs of the International Plant Science Center.
In the late 19th century an eminent Columbia University botanist named Nathaniel Lord Britton and his wife, Elizabeth, also a botanist, were so inspired by their visit to England's Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, that they and other members of the Torrey Botanical Club determined New York should possess a great botanical garden as well. A magnificent site was selected in the northern section of the Bronx, part of which had belonged to the vast estate of tobacco merchant Pierre Lorillard.
On April 18, 1891, the land was set aside by the New York State Legislature for the creation of "a public botanic garden of the highest class" for the City of New York. Prominent civic leaders and financiers, including Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and J. Pierpont Morgan, agreed to match the City's commitment to finance the buildings and improvements, initiating a public-private partnership that continues today. In 1896 The New York Botanical Garden appointed Nathaniel Lord Britton its first director.
Visitors delight in the exciting, captivating, and innovative exhibitions and flower shows held throughout the year in venues across the Garden. No other botanical garden in the world presents such a rich, varied, abundant schedule of offerings.
The Garden mounts five major exhibitions annually:The Orchid Show, a spring show, a summer exhibition, a fall show, and the Holiday Train Show. These featured shows often include elements in several locations on the grounds, including floral displays in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, rare and historical books and prints in the LuEsther T. Mertz Library's Rondina/LoFaro Gallery, family activities in the Everett Children's Adventure Garden, and educational signage and audio tours that link aspects of the living collections on the grounds as well. An array of programming of events, workshops, classes, and children's activities accompanies each exhibition.
Complementing these large-scale endeavors year-round are numerous other shows such as botanical art exhibitions in the Arthur and Janet Ross Gallery, seasonal displays in the Bourke-Sullivan Display House, and natural spectacles around the Garden: the flowering of the magnolia, cherry, crabapple, dogwood, and Narcissus collections in spring; the cheerful flowers of daylilies and the brilliance of the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden in summer, and the fall foliage across the grounds and throughout the Forest in fall.
In addition, two permanent exhibitions focus on the work of the Garden's scientists around the world. A World of Plants showcases the wonders, diversity, and uses of plants in an ecotour of 11 distinct habitats and galleries in the Haupt Conservatory, and Plants and Fungi: Ten Current Research Stories in the Britton Science Rotunda and Gallery presents examples of the Garden's biodiversity research in various regions.
The visitor experience to all these exhibitions and shows is enhanced by related books and other items at Shop in the Garden, which supports the Garden's core mission in science, horticulture, and education.
The Botanical Garden is a designed landscape where people can experience the beauty of nature through curated plant collections, display gardens, seasonal exhibitions, and natural areas. With more than one million living plants, including thousands of mature trees, rare tropical and desert species, and the most recent horticultural introductions, and historic and contemporary gardens designed by Beatrix Farrand, T. H. Everett, Marian Cruger Coffin, Lynden Miller, Oehme, van Sweden and other noted landscape architects, the Botanical Garden exhibits the intersection between nature and culture at its best.
The Vice President for Landscape, Gardens and Outdoor Collections is responsible for the strategic planning, development and oversight of the arboretum and grounds; outdoor gardens and displays; and the living collections within the 250-acre National Historic Landmark Landscape of The New York Botanical Garden. He/she will provide leadership and direction for management and curatorial staff. Along with the Vice President for Glasshouses and Exhibitions will report to the Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections.
The VP will set high standards for staff to ensure that the grounds, gardens, displays, and living collections are in peak condition at all times and will represent the Horticulture Division at select Board of Manager meetings, in media, and at institutional meetings and functions as needed.
The successful candidate will have a combination of at least 10 years of hands-on horticultural work and senior horticultural management experience in a public garden. He/she must possess a thorough knowledge of plants, horticultural techniques, and best management practices for garden and landscape stewardship. Expertise in horticultural displays with vision and aesthetic creativity and development and management of outdoor gardens are essential. He/she must be a team player and strategic thinker with solid verbal, written and organizational skills.
Excellent benefits package including pension, 401k, and 4 weeks vacation.
Qualified candidates should send or email resume, letter of interest and three references to:

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Baseball team wasn't very happy after the first two games in a tripleheader with St. Norbert College at The Ballpark at Strong Stadium on Sunday, 9-0 and 7-0 losses. But their mood brightened up after the third game, a 7-3 win, that closed out a long day on the diamond.
In the finale, the Bucs scored two unearned runs in the top of the third when Grant Henricksen crossed the plate on a wild pitch for the first run of the day before Zach Kolasinski slapped a single to score Will Mack.
Beloit broke it open with a five-run sixth. Henricksen had a two-run triple while Jake Parrott and Tyler Peacock had RBI singles and Mack an RBI double in the inning. SNC finally got on the board with two in the bottom of the sixth and plated a third run, unearned, in the seventh before Henricksen shut the door for his third save of the season.
Jim Leyhane got the win with four-plus innings of one-hit shutout baseball. Henricksen and Peacock both had two hits in the game.
In the first game of the day the Green Knights scored unearned runs in the second and third innings for the only runs they'd need. They added a third run in the fifth before blowing it opening with six runs in the sixth inning, five of them unearned. The Buccaneers had a couple of threats in the game but could never get the one big hit.
In the middle game, SNC scored twice in the second, added three in the fifth and single runs in the sixth and ninth while shutting down the Buccaneers. Alex Lawrence had two hits, including a double, to lead the offense.
Beloit's five 2013 seniors - Dalton Deckert, Andrew Edwards, Aaron Bushur, Henricksen and Mack - were recognized between the first and second games.
The Bucs close out their 2013 season on Wednesday afternoon with a doubleheader against Milwaukee School of Engineering at The Ballpark. Action begins at 2:30 p.m.

CANTON Two Gouverneur men have been indicted by a St. Lawrence County grand jury in connection with a string of burglaries last summer.
Justin L. Chalupa,22, and Tyler W. Wells, 21, each was indicted on two counts of third-degree burglary, three counts of petit larceny and third-degree criminal trespass, according to documents handed up Thursday.
Investigators said Mr. Chalupa, Mr. Wells and another man, Craig M. Murdie, 21, broke into a home on Route 22 in Fowler, a Bressett Road home in the town of Gouverneur and a National Grid power station in Fowler.
Mr. Murdie previously pleaded guilty in St. Lawrence County Court to satisfy charges in this and other outstanding cases, Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen said.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� said the prosecution is prepared to take the case against Mr. Chalupa and Mr. Wells to trial.
An air conditioner and two large spools of wire were reported missing from the garage of the Bressett Road home, police said. The Route 22 home reportedly was abandoned, and details on that case have not been released.
Mr. Wells reportedly admitted to stealing copper from the National Grid station, leading to the grand larceny charges for him, Mr. Chalupa and Mr. Murdie, troopers have said.
During the investigation, it was discovered that Mr. Murdie and a fourth Gouverneur resident, Ashley D. Fifield, 27 who was not mentioned in the indictment were in possession of scrap metal stolen from the town of Philadelphia, leading to the charges of criminal possession of stolen property.
Mr. Murdie, now an inmate at Riverview Correctional Facility, Ogdensburg, was sentenced last week to 3� to 7 years in prison in Jefferson County Court for a Nov. 27 guilty plea to two counts of third-degree burglary as a result of separate incidents in Watertown and Philadelphia. The sentence will run concurrently with two consecutive two- to six-year terms, or four to 12 years, imposed in October in St. Lawrence County Court for two third-degree burglary convictions.
Mr. Fifield pleaded guilty last month in Jefferson County Court to third-degree attempted burglary. He is expected to be sentenced Feb. 22 to time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown, and five years probation.
While the suspects initially were committed to the St. Lawrence County jail in Canton last year, neither was reported to be in the facility Thursday, and further details about their status were not available.

Like these British ads from 1992. Which had dick jokes, masturbation jokes, pissing, enormous breasts and, well, pictures of a guy either rubbing his junk on the back of a Game Gear or...look, let's just move on.
For readers outside the UK, know that these appeared in Viz, a publication that can best be described as Mad Magazine for horny, clinically unfunny teenagers.
Which explains the angle. I guess. Actually, you know what, it doesn't. There's no angle in which hairy dude's balls sticking out of a pair of budgie smugglers, all in the name of a Game Gear + Sonic bundle, are OK.

Cell phones are now available at exclusive stores where users can easily choose a cell phone they like. As a large number of people visit these stores everyday, it is not possible for the store owners to keep real cell phones in the open as there is a great chance of these being stolen. Also, as each customer wants to see and feel the mobile phone, it becomes inconvenient for the store owners to agree to every customer's demand.
Dummy mobile phones are the ideal solution to this problem as these phones are cheap, replaceable and give the customer the exact feel of the real mobile phone. Being the exact replica of the real mobile phones, the dummy mobile phones have clickable buttons, sliding action and flip covers just like the original models of the phones. Almost all shops have taken to displaying dummy mobile phones because of their numerous benefits. Here are some reasons why dummy mobile phones are ideal for display in mobile shops:
Less chance of theft: When the thieves know that there are only dummy mobile phones on display, they will refrain from stealing these phones. In case a dummy phones is stolen, it can be easily replaced by another dummy phone. These phones cost almost nothing when compared to a real phone and many times mobile companies supply the retailers with these phones too.
Customer satisfaction: Customers can hold the dummy mobile phone in their hand and get a feel of it. As the weight, the buttons, and the shape of the dummy phones is similar to the real phone, it gives the customer a complete idea about what kind of phone he will be buying.
As a sample product: The dummy mobile phones can also be used as a sample product. In case a shop is not stocking a real mobile phone, they can always show the customer the dummy mobile phone to give the customer a fair idea about the shape, size, and weight of the dummy phone. A real phone can be easily arranged once the customer is satisfied with the dummy mobile phone.
Puremobile carries a select line of dummy phones. If you are looking for any please contact us as we can see if we can source what you need.

I am very excited to be teaching an experimental...
I am very excited to be teaching an experimental EPSCOR/NSF-funded course at RISD this semester, along with the ecological designer Bryan Quinn. It's called Ecocentric Practices:
Marine ducks travel great distances, inhabit multiple ecosystems, and are susceptible to a variety of human-related threats that have likely led to recent and drastic population decline in many species. Working closely with wildlife biologists, emerging technology, and data sets, studio participants will explore alternative methods to communicate ecocentric themes related to marine duck populations through studio work, field observation/study in coastal Rhode Island, and interaction with a diverse group of artists, designers, and scientists.
This studio is open to all mediums and no technical experience is required. However, we will spend time with geospatial systems (such as GIS) and open source tools such as Python and Processing. Theoretical grounding will be provided through readings of key texts in ecology, geography, data visualization, media theory, philosophy, illustration, and a survey of the wide range of artistic and design practices engaged with the biosphere. Students will also utilize to-be-determined hardware capable of collecting scientific data.
Students will work in a workshop-type environment that leverages individual interests. Student projects will encourage public dialogue about marine ducks. Student work will be compiled for a public exhibition at the end of the course.
These photos come from our first field trip, observing ducks on Bold Point and at Sachuest with Peter Paton of URI.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Water was the focus of conversation during Tuesday's joint session of the East Carbon and Sunnyside city councils, as authorities reviewed the upcoming water pipeline project while continuing to shed light on the drastic nature of the area's water consumption and dwindling supply.
The councils were joined by water expert and Johansen and Tuttle Engineer Darrell Leamaster, who was present to detail the upcoming Diversion No. 2 Water Project. According to Leamaster, the project will entail two phases, including upgrades to the area's treatment plant as well as a new pipeline from the Grassy Trail Reservoir directly to the plant.
The smaller of the phases will consist of modifications to solve a problem which has been occurring since the system was built in 1985. With manufacturer assistance, the treatment facility's logic boards will be adjusted. This phase will not begin until the fall, after peak water demand has concluded for the year, said Leamaster.
"That part of the project should be pretty simple and I will be here most of the time to oversee that in September or October," he explained. "The complex portion of the project will entail capturing the water that is available at Diversion No. 2. The main reason for that will be use during dry years like we are having this year."
The total flow going into the reservoir is approximately 500 gallons per minute (GPM) at the current time between 600 and 620 GPM are being used by the cities and their industry. According to Leamaster, Diversion No. 2 is producing around 50 GPM, which amounts to 10 percent of the reservoir's total intake.
"What we will do is capture that water, pipe it down, mingle it with the current intake system, treat it and use it," he said. "Sunnyside Cogeneration is interested in this because there are years, not this year, but other years when part of the water that is coming down the canyon belongs to them. They own the secondary rights."
Anytime the water flowing down the canyon is less than five cubic feet per second, all the water is designated as primary. East Carbon owns 70 percent of that water, Sunnyside 20 percent and Sunnyside Cogeneration 10 percent. The project won't do anything to change these water rights but will provide extra water.
The new pipeline is vital, as subsidence and possible underground caverns deplete most of the water which comes from the diversion when it flows toward the cities naturally.
Since Leamaster began finalizing the project this spring, the State Engineer's office has been measuring the lake weekly and acting as a water master. In addition, the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining has agreed to set up a meeting with both Sunnyside and East Carbon to report on their water usage and discharge in the canyon.
"We are really concerned that mining operations under the right fork of the stream could have some impact on us," said Leamaster. "We asked them to set that up that meeting and they said it would happen in June but June is almost gone. I will call then and see about that meeting."
While speaking with Westridge coal officials is something the city would like to see happen, direct answers and solutions to the water use taking place at Sunnyside Cogeneration has become a building storm between the cities.
In May, 19.9 million gallons of water were treated by the cities' joint plant. With a population of about 1,400 residents, East Carbon City used 8.6 million gallons. With an approximate population of 400, Sunnyside and the Sunnyside Cogeneration Plant used 11.2 million gallons.
Council member David Maggio reported these numbers and his concerns with them. In response, Sunnyside Mayor Doug Parsons said that he had not seen the numbers and wasn't aware of the amount of water use as meters at Sunnyside Cogeneration have been a problem.
After lengthy discussion, the cities came to the realization that the power plant is taking between 40 and 50 percent of the total water used. An amount equal to nearly 10 million gallons in May. Their use, coupled with the cities has the reservoir dropping one inch per day, according to Krauss.
"But I'm not going to tell the plant not to use water and then have them come back and say we destroyed the power plant because of lack of water," said Mayor Parsons.
East Carbon officials argued that with wells, mine water and other options the plant does have enough water to run, but chooses to use treated city water because of the comparatively low costs.
At session's end, city officials left promising to review their contracts and talk with the plant. Water use at the Cogeneration facility reportedly has a direct relationship with temperature. The higher the temperature, the more water required to cool their towers. Highs in the 90s and triple digits are predicted regularly over the next two weeks.

Home Remedy: Makeup Remover
Our tester, Tara, tried out two different all-natural makeup removers. The first is equal parts lemon juice and rose water. You simply put it on a cotton ball and use it to remove your makeup. You want to avoid your eye area because the lemon may sting a bit. This works very well and our tester gave it two thumbs up.
The other recipe is equal parts almond oil and petroleum jelly, with juice from a lemon. This is a bit of a challenge to get into a small bottle to mix, but it does do a good job. It is a creamier and greasier version that the rose water, but our tester says it does the job and would be great for those with dry skin.
They are both all natural options that will save you time and money.

Sea Trials is modeled after the Marine Corps' Crucible and the Navy's Battle Stations recruit programs. It is a "capstone" event for the fourth class midshipmen (freshmen or "plebes") and serves as a leadership challenge for the upper class. Sea Trials is led by academy upper class and provides a final physical and mental challenge to the plebes, designed to test their teamwork and to reinforce their bonds as a company and class. Plebes are physically and mentally tested through a variety of challenges in different stations located across the Academy and Naval Support Activity Annapolis. At the end of Sea Trials, the company of plebes who demonstrated the top unit performance through endurance and spirit during the entire course will be recognized with the "Iron Company" award during a brief presentation.
