For the purposes of developing or assisting in the development of any regulation, conducting any study, taking corrective action, or enforcing the provisions of this subchapter, such officers, employees, or representatives are authorized—
(1) to enter at reasonable times any establishment or other place where an underground storage tank is located;
(2) to inspect and obtain samples from any person of any regulated substances contained in such tank;
(3) to conduct monitoring or testing of the tanks, associated equipment, contents, or surrounding soils, air, surface water or ground water; and
Each such inspection shall be commenced and completed with reasonable promptness.
(b) Confidentiality
(1) Any records, reports, or information obtained from any persons under this section shall be available to the public, except that upon a showing satisfactory to the Administrator (or the State, as the case may be) by any person that records, reports, or information, or a particular part thereof, to which the Administrator (or the State, as the case may be) or any officer, employee, or representative thereof has access under this section if made public, would divulge information entitled to protection under section 1905 of title 18, such information or particular portion thereof shall be considered confidential in accordance with the purposes of that section, except that such record, report, document, or information may be disclosed to other officers, employees, or authorized representatives of the United States concerned with carrying out this chapter, or when relevant in any proceeding under this chapter.
(2) Any person not subject to the provisions of section 1905 of title 18 who knowingly and willfully divulges or discloses any information entitled to protection under this subsection shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not more than $5,000 or to imprisonment not to exceed one year, or both.
(3) In submitting data under this subchapter, a person required to provide such data may—
(A) designate the data which such person believes is entitled to protection under this subsection, and
A designation under this paragraph shall be made in writing and in such manner as the Administrator may prescribe.
(4) Notwithstanding any limitation contained in this section or any other provision of law, all information reported to, or otherwise obtained, by the Administrator (or any representative of the Administrator) under this chapter shall be made available, upon written request of any duly authorized committee of the Congress, to such committee (including records, reports, or information obtained by representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency).
(c) Inspection requirements
(1) Uninspected tanks
In the case of underground storage tanks regulated under this subchapter that have not undergone an inspection since December 22, 1998, not later than 2 years after August 8, 2005, the Administrator or a State that receives funding under this subchapter, as appropriate, shall conduct on-site inspections of all such tanks to determine compliance with this subchapter and the regulations under this subchapter (40 CFR 280) or a requirement or standard of a State program developed under section 6991c of this title.
(2) Periodic inspections
After completion of all inspections required under paragraph (1), the Administrator or a State that receives funding under this subchapter, as appropriate, shall conduct on-site inspections of each underground storage tank regulated under this subchapter at least once every 3 years to determine compliance with this subchapter and the regulations under this subchapter (40 CFR 280) or a requirement or standard of a State program developed under section 6991c of this title. The Administrator may extend for up to one additional year the first 3-year inspection interval under this paragraph if the State demonstrates that it has insufficient resources to complete all such inspections within the first 3-year period.

It Was a Wonderful Life
For the six women profiled in the documentary It Was A Wonderful Life, the emphasis is on the word was. They all went from a comfortable middle-class existence to dire poverty and homelessness when the support of their husbands was withdrawn by divorce or abandonment. Nonetheless, as a group, they have used tremendous ingenuity and perseverance in making a life for themselves and their children, despite the absence of decently paid jobs, health-insurance, or child care. Each of these women is too proud to apply for welfare, and they manage somehow to stay off the streets. The documentary has an ideological slant, promoting stronger legal protections for divorced women, especially in the area of child support. Jodie Foster narrates.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
Cast: Jodie Foster, Marie, Lou Hall, Josephine, Reena Sands

ERIC HASERT/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS Katie Ferrari (from left), 9, and her mother Theresa Ferrari, of Port St. Lucie, admire a sand sculpture created by Crystal and John Styles, and their children Ella, 9, and Madeline, 11, of Palm City, during the Florida Oceanographic Society's inaugural Sand Sculpting Contest at Stuart Beach on Saturday. "It's really neat I wish we'd known more about it before we got here, loved to have done it," Theresa Ferrari said. "We build sand castles at the beach all this time, make all kinds of stuff like this. I've never even thought to enter, now I'll know better for next year." Six teams built their works of art for public display till 1 p.m. to compete for Best Themed, Best Marine Animal and Most Creative, before the works of art were leveled back to the normal shoreline. The event was held to raise awareness of sea turtle nesting season and show how you can have fun at the beach during the day and leave it habitable at night for the turtles.

CLAYTON Susan J. Farmer, executive director of the Clayton Improvement Association, has been fired by the nonprofits board of directors.
Michael P. Bristol, vice president of the association board, said the directors felt that the organization wasnt moving in the direction they felt it should be moving. He declined to elaborate further.
The board just felt like we needed a new direction, he said. It just wasnt working out.
Ms. Farmer said she also cannot elaborate on the circumstances of her termination because there is a legal case pending a complaint that will be submitted to the state Division of Human Rights by the end of the month.
She was hired in 2006 to succeed Matthew A. Taylor, who now works for the Development Authority of the North Country.
Established in 1977, the association has the mission of providing housing for low- to moderate-income families and participating in community renewal projects in the towns of Alexandria, Antwerp, Cape Vincent, Clayton, LeRay, Orleans, Pamelia, Philadelphia, Theresa and Wilna.
A Watertown native, Ms. Farmer worked for the Thousand Islands Girl Scout Council Inc. as its fund development director before joining the Clayton Improvement Association.
Mr. Bristol said the association board hopes to hire a new executive director in July through a regional search.

Cuppa Jane Coffees, purveyors of fine brews, cocoas and teas, and their blends sounded great. They sent me a sampler of three of their seasonal blends, Candy Cane, Pumpkin Harvest, and Cinnamon Sugar Cookie.
Pumpkin Harvest whole bean coffee, since it seems so fitting for October. It's a nice blend of spices that enhance sweets like apple cakes and the like. It's also a good stand-in dessert, when you're trying to watch calories but still want a sweet ending to a meal.
The peppermint-flavored Candy Cane is also quite good, and I imagine we'll be drinking the bulk of it closer to the winter holidays. The Candy Cane blend reminds me of a holiday drink that you can get at Starbucks--but without the hefty price tag.
Cinnamon Sugar Cookie. While not bad, I must say it wasn't my favorite. I tend to prefer plain cinnamons or peppermints rather than flavors that try to mimic desserts. But that's just my taste buds, maybe not yours.
Cuppa Jane coffees are worth treating yourself to, whether you're a coffee snob like me, or just like a nice cup once in a while.
The folks at Cuppa Jane are kindly offering 1 lucky reader

Despite the rain, construction on the TMC campus has continued to thrive. The sound of hammers and the beating of nails have become the norm as the first two floors of the new dorms have taken shape. Students, faculty, and staff, all gathered Tuesday afternoon for a prayer dedication – dedicating the structure and asking the Lord do bless the students who will be making their home in Fall of 2011. Attendees were given the opportunity to write a word of encouragement along with a verse on pieces of the plywood, to be placed on the third floor lobby. From the very foundation, this building, as well as all the projects around campus, has been bathed with prayer. "Lord, may Your hand be on every board, every nail, every resident, and every student, that comes into Truett-McConnell College; From the very first verse to the very last tribe."
Most likely you have been made aware of the construction going on around the Truett-McConnell College campus. This blog will serve to keep you up-to-date with the progress of the renovations and building projects going on. As you drive onto the campus, the view of bulky CAT equipment is usually there to greet you. The beeping of tractors and dump trucks, the clanging of tools, and the aroma of "breaking ground" are all reminders of the greatness that is taking place. As a student, it is hard not to be distracted when the ruckus outside is pulling your attention from the classroom to the excitement of what's happening outside. The construction has caused a few inconveniences: who needs an alarm clock when you have the sound of tractors beeping to wake you up in the morning?

Bad Breath in KidsTuesday, April 21st, 2009
Bad breath in children can get worse throughout the day because as they breathe, their mouth becomes dryer, allowing bacteria to grow. Children need to see a pediatrician especially if they have to breathe out of their mouths due to colds, sinus infections, allergies, or bigger-than-average tonsils and adenoids blocking their nasal passages. Thumb sucking can also dry out the mouth.
For children, here is a list of uncommon bad breath odors that may be a sign of a much more serious health complication:
- Acetone – diabetes or acetone, alcohol, phenol, or salicylate ingestion
- Ammonia – possibly a urinary tract infections or kidney failure
- Asparagus – eating asparagus (yes, it may happen)
- Bitter almonds – cyanide poisoning
- Cat's urine – odor of cats syndrome (beta-methyl-crotonyl-CoA-carboxylase deficiency)
- Celery – Oasthouse urine disease
- Dead fish – stale fish syndrome (trimethylamine oxidase deficiency)
- Fresh-baked bread – typhoid fever
- Foul – tonsillitis, sinusitis, gingivitis, lung abscess, or dental cavities
- Garlic – arsenic, phosphorus, organic phosphate insecticides, or thallium poisoning
- Horse-like (also described as mouse-like or musty) – phenylketonuria
- Rancid butter – rancid butter syndrome (hypermethionemia and hypertyrosinemia)
- Raw liver – liver failure
- Sweaty socks – odor of sweaty feet syndrome (Isovalryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency) or sweaty feet syndrome II (Green acyldehydrogenase deficiency)
- Violets – turpentine poisoning
Also, don't forget that little kids often stuff things in their mouth or noses, so always pay close attention, especially if there's discolored nasal discharge.

For the third straight year, Stan the Drum Man (Stan Secrest of New York) spent a week with Cathy Wilson's art students at Helper Junior High School teaching them the fine art of drum making. To celebrate the accomplishment (top left), the school assembled a 180-member drum circle, almost the entire student body. Wilson is conducting them in basic rhythms such as "Hel-per-Ju-nior High School. (Top right) Secrest tells the assembled students that it has been his pleasure to once again visit the school. (Bottom) Even a non-student gets to play in the circle. The bass drum is far bigger than this youngster is.
Principal Tom Montoya told the audience that Helper may have the highest per capita concentration of drums in the nation. Who's to argue with that?

The stock market loves President Barack Obama. With all its cheating heart, and all its mercenary soul.
More than that, actually — it adores him. The love story of Wall Street and Obama is a bromance like no other, a man-crush for the ages.
Despite his threats to soak the wealthy for more taxes, despite Fed Chairman's attack on savers, despite even his threat to kill special treatment for dividends, institutional investors have thrown themselves at Obama's feet as they have not done in the first term of any president in the past century.
You could look it up. The S&P 500 has gained 76% since his inauguration in January 2009, while the Nasdaq 100 is up 128%.
Compare that to the S&P 500's 13% decline and the Nasdaq 100's 45% wipeout in the first term of his predecessor, George W. Bush; or the mere 25% gain in the first term of conservative icon Ronald Reagan; or even the 60% gain in the halcyon early 1990s in the first term of Bill Clinton.
The staggering advance of the market is probably one of Obama's greatest accomplishments, and yet, in a rich irony, political sensitivities prevent him from bragging about it.
The beauty part is that this was not a coincidence, beginner's luck or a historical fluke.
The administration and the Federal Reserve run by his appointed chairman, Ben Bernanke, have systematically stuffed big banks' pockets with cash in an unending rescue effort, slashed interest rates to the lowest levels of the past 300 years, diverted senior citizens' savings to revive the moribund residential construction industry and showered drug makers and insurers with fresh sources of revenue from his health care overhaul.
Little wonder then that Wall Street cannot bear the idea of parting ways with the Obama administration, and thus in the past two months has thrown a tantrum to protest the surprising advancement of challenger Mitt Romney in the polls.
Now that the president has won a second term, you can expect most of the sectors that have benefited from the present administration to keep on rolling. Here are some top prospects.
Health care
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the President's health care initiative, set out new mandates, subsidies and credits to employers and individuals to increase Americans' access to health care. Upon its passage in March 2010, investors began boosting the shares of drug makers, insurance providers and hospitals because they all suddenly had a lot more paying customers, courtesy of the government and taxpayers.
Shares of Pfizer PFE, -0.72% for example, had fallen 50% during the eight years of the Bush Administration, January 2001 to January 2009. In contrast, its shares are up 70% during the Obama Administration, almost in a straight line. Sixty-four percent of the gains in the maker of Viagra, Zoloft and Lipitor have come since ACA passed.
Insurance provider Unitedhealth Group UNH, +1.21% is up 73% since Obamacare passed. Smaller biotechs have gained a lot more, led by Alexion Pharmaceuticals ALXN, -4.13% up 252%.

The commander of the 10th Mountain Divisions 2nd Brigade Combat Team said his soldiers Afghan counterparts in Paktika Province are showing consistent improvement in their combined operations.
As one example, Col. Dennis S. Sullivan, the brigades commander, pointed out a combined operation at the start of July in the provinces Omna and Charbaran districts planned by Afghan security forces.
It was almost really two separate operations that really complemented each other, he said. The operations led to the killing of the Omna Districts insurgent leader, the commander said. The recent operation, and seven similar brigade-level operations in the last few months, showed him that Afghan forces had improved.
Each time we go out, they get better at it and get more precision at it, Col. Sullivan said. He singled out the Afghan militarys engineering and reconnaissance work as excelling in recent months.
The commander on Thursday updated the Times about progress in the province during the past three months. The approximately 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers from the brigade are about two-thirds of the way through their nine-month deployment.
Theres a lot of fighting left to go, Col. Sullivan said in a telephone interview. We have to stay focused on them.
The 2nd BCT soldiers are spread around the eastern province in a security force aid-and-assist-team role similar to that of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, which operates in Ghazni Province.
Col. Sullivan also said the provincial government is performing well without military or State Department intervention.
In addition to supporting its Afghan counterparts, the brigade helped the command of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, which last week received orders to deploy to Afghanistan this fall. The brigades command group visited the province at the end of June to observe conditions on the ground.
Theyre on the right flight path to get ready, Col. Sullivan said.
The commander also took questions about a June 8 incident at Zarghun Shahr in which a man in an Afghan uniform shot and killed two soldiers, Lt. Cols. Todd J. Clark and Jaimie Leonard, and a contractor, Joseph Morabito.
Col. Sullivan said as news came in on the three, whom he said he knew personally, he went from praying for their safety to sorrow and sadness when he learned of their deaths.
Theres many emotions that you feel there, he said.
Col. Sullivan said he had feelings of guilt for the death of Col. Clark, for whom he had specifically asked on the mission because of his knowledge of running advisory teams, including a pair of masters theses on the subject.
I knew the talent he had, Col. Sullivan said. Thats why I reached out to him.
The commander said he viewed the attack as an isolated incident.
We cant tarnish the great work and partnerships and capabilities of the Afghan security forces, Col. Sullivan said. That would be what the enemy would want, driving a wedge between the Americans and the Afghan forces we work with every day.
In addition to Col. Clark and Col. Leonard, the brigade has seen the deaths of Spc. Javier Sanchez Jr., who died June 23 of injuries suffered from an improvised explosive device during a mounted patrol, and Pfc. Mariano M. Raymundo, whose June 1 death is still under investigation.
With approximately 90 days left in the deployment, Col. Sullivan broke down his brigades goals in two parts: making a final push to support its Afghan partners, and moving its coverage area to a singular regional location.
Were doing all we can to get them ready, Col. Sullivan said.

Naval Academy Introduces New Rotocraft Engineering Program
Posted on: January 16, 2014 09:00 EST by Judy Campbell
Naval Academy aerospace engineering majors now have the opportunity to specialize in rotorcraft engineering in the only formal undergraduate-level rotary-wing engineering program in the United States.
The new program is the largest expansion of the academy's aerospace curriculum since the astronautics track was added in 1985.
The program is made possible through a Memorandum of Agreement between the Naval Academy and the Office of Naval Research, extending ONR support for the Naval Academy's rotorcraft program and providing the basis for its expansion into a formal academic track.
"We're very excited about this program," said Capt. Ken Ham, chair of the academy's aerospace engineering department. "Thanks to it we will better prepare future officers to fill leadership positions related to vertical lift aircraft, and will be able to expand our capabilities in performing relevant rotorcraft research."
The program will include a rotorcraft performance course, a rotorcraft stability and control course and a year-long capstone design course that will involve designing, building, and testing rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles. The first midshipmen in the rotorcraft track will graduate in May 2015.
"The new rotor track offers an exciting opportunity to study rotorcraft as the primary focus rather than as an addendum to a fixed wing aviation curriculum," said Midshipman 1st Class Daniel Kuerbitz of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the first midshipmen in the program. "I hope to fly helicopters for either the Navy or Marine Corps and the program offers a strong understanding of rotorcraft operations which will no doubt benefit my career as a pilot. I am excited at the chance to be among the first to study in this program."
The program has its origins in an earlier Memorandum of Understanding between ONR and USNA signed in late 2008 which established an ONR vertical takeoff and landing and rotary wing chair in the Aerospace Engineering Department. This chair was established to assist in developing a rotorcraft curriculum to enhance the education and training of academy aerospace majors assigned to rotary-wing aircraft in the Navy and Marine Corps.
These efforts also established a successful ongoing program in ship airwake research led by academy Professor Murray Snyder.
This program, also sponsored by ONR, utilizes a dedicated 108 foot-long Naval Academy training vessel to explore the turbulent airwake behind ship superstructures – a topic of critical importance to helicopter pilots.
"This work goes beyond the academics," says Snyder. "It represents serious applied research in direct support of a Navy-unique mission."
Twenty-two midshipmen have participated in this program to date.
"We've had a long-standing and fruitful relationship with the USNA Aerospace Department and see this new as the logical next step," said Capt. David Woodbury, acting director of ONR's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department. "This new agreement solidifies our commitment to rotary wing technology and building a base of future naval officers who are better equipped to support emerging Navy and Marine Corps needs in rotary wing science and technology."

The Watertown International Airport is getting a lot of attention these days, and not just inside the borders of Jefferson County.
A pair of announcements Friday heralded the arrival of $9.6 million for two projects that will directly and indirectly affect the airport, on Route 12F near Dexter, according to state and federal representatives.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said she was able to speed up a $7.8 million bridge-replacement project as part of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos NY Works initiative, which aims to encourage economic development in the state by rebuilding infrastructure.
The bridge, which spans the Black River and provides access to the main part of the village of Dexter on Route 180, is just over a mile from the airport and will provide an opportunity to get infrastructure such as sewer lines to the growing facility, according to Mrs. Russell.
She said the project, which originally was slated for two years from now, was moved up after she lobbied for acceleration in the Assembly and with the governors office.
I have pushed to get this work started ahead of schedule, and now it will begin sooner than originally planned. ... The reconstruction of this bridge will complement efforts to develop the Watertown International Airport, Mrs. Russell said in a news release.
Mrs. Russells announcement came hot on the heels of an announcement from the office of Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, that the U.S. Department of Transportation had awarded a $1.8 million grant to the airport for a taxiway rehabilitation project.
Mr. Owenss hometown airport, the Plattsburgh International Airport, also received a grant of $2.5 million to improve its water and wastewater systems.
Joining local officials in applauding the allocations, Mr. Owens said in a news release, These two airports connect our rural communities to larger airline hubs, taking business travelers and tourists to where they need to be. They are also valuable revenue generators as Canadians seeking cheaper flights and the relative convenience of domestic travel are increasingly crossing the border to purchase seats on U.S. flights.
The money will go toward rehabilitating Taxiway B at the airport, Jefferson County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III said.
That announcement comes as the county is initiating eminent domain proceedings to secure room for a Federal Aviation Administration-required protection zone at the east and west ends of a runway it plans to expand by 1,000 feet.
The expansion would allow the airport to accommodate larger jets, a necessary measure as American Eagle, a subsidiary of American Airlines that serves the airport, is looking to move from 44-passenger regional jets to 50-passenger jets sometime in April.
The county is looking to acquire 47 acres of adjacent property from William E. and Colleen J. Lawler and 153 acres from Roscoe A. Eisenhauer to establish the safety buffer.
The taxiway rehabilitation will take place at the opposite end from where the expansion is planned, Mr. Hagemann said.
Last month more than 4,000 passengers flew into and out of the airport, a record for the facility.
Mr. Owenss announcement included a link to a July 15 article in the New York Times about the growing number of Canadians who are crossing the border to fly out of small regional airports in the U.S.
More than five million Canadians drive across the border every year to fly from American airports, the New York Times reported.

A world-class welcome
Look beyond what you think you know about Houston. The nation's fourth-largest city offers a rare combination of international sophistication and down-home Texas charm. Houston is a study in contrasts - it's home to technological breakthroughs and warm, old-fashioned welcomes, the world's best barbecue and award-winning performing arts.
Fine arts to football:
Houston's the ticket
You won't find any oil wells downtown or longhorns roving the streets, but you will find world-class museums and approximately 15,000 seats in its theater district. Houston is one of the few American cities with permanent ballet, opera, symphony and theater companies performing year-round.
If sports is more your ticket, Houston offers Astros baseball, Texans football, Rockets men's and Comets women's professional basketball teams, Aeros hockey, Dynamos MLS soccer - not to mention polo, lacrosse, marathons and bicycling.
Sports go beyond the spectator to include miles of jogging and bicycling trails. Deep sea fishing and surfing are just 50 miles away on the Gulf Coast. The Texas Hill Country, a short drive to the West, is perfect for hiking, rock climbing and canoeing.
Houston's cultural diversity adds to the city's energy. Rich ethnic backgrounds come together in the performing and visual arts, annual festivals and a wide variety of restaurants. Houston's citizens speak more than 90 languages and they all offer you a warm welcome.
The city's subtropical climate is mild and filled with sunshine. Snow is rare, and balmy days are plentiful. The average annual high temperature is 79 degrees (26 Celsius).

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Do you know your blood type? It might not seem like an important detail to know but it is one that can save your life in an emergency.
In the entire world there are only eight different blood types found in the human body, and they are specific to our different heritages.
"The northern European is most likely an A. The Mediterranean individuals are most likely O's. Then if you get into the Polish, Latvian and African American countries you get mostly B's," says Lee Ann Weitekamp, medical director for MI Blood in Grand Rapids.
The most common blood type is O-positive -- 39% of the world's population has it. A-positive is the second most common at 31%. After those two the numbers go down drastically. Only 9% of the population has B-positive and O-negative, 6% have A-negative, 3% AB-positive, 2% B-negative and only 1% of the world's population has AB-negative blood.
"With the heavy Dutch population in this area, we're more likely to be A's," says Weitekamp.
She says hospitals will always make sure you're matched with your specific blood type, unless there's an emergency. That's where the universal blood donor O-negative comes in. Anyone with O-negative blood can safely give to any blood type.
"Although type O-negative makes up only 9% of the general population we use over 20% of that type in terms of what the hospitals need." says Weitekamp.
The drawback? O-negative blood types can only accept O-negative blood.
"If I give you my blood, which has the a marker on it, your antibody attaches to those red blood cells and then pops them right inside your blood vessels," says Weitekamp.
But she says you should not worry -- getting the wrong blood type is not something that's likely to happen now that type testing has become a standard part of blood collection and donation.
"When we look to transfuse blood we try to make it what we call type specific," says Weitekamp.
It takes about two to three weeks for your body to replenish your blood supply once you donate, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that your blood went to help save a life.

CANTON Earlier this year, 14 women in St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis counties participated in a series of six workshops designed to teach experienced farm and ranch women about agriculture risk management and other topics.
The series was part of a national program called Annies Project, created in 2003 to strengthen womens roles in farming.
Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County hosted the workshops, which wrapped up March 6. The topics included business planning, financial strategy development, production risks, insurance, estate planning and transition farming.
The women who attended were knowledgeable, motivated and open-minded, said Anita R. Figueras, the Cooperative Extensions finance manager and farm business educator. They already know how to farm. They wanted to learn how they could become more profitable and successful.
She said a discussion group for female farmers in the area might be started to continue the flow of ideas and information.
Jennifer B. Rastley, a dairy farmer from Gouverneur, attended the workshop with her daughter, Brooke E., 18, who is serving as St. Lawrence Countys Dairy Princess.
Learning more about banking terms and financing was helpful, and interacting with other women about farming techniques they use was informative, Mrs. Rastley said. It doesnt matter how long youve been farming you can always learn something new or tweak what youre already doing, she said.

By Mel CoonrodHelper
I will turn 65 this year. Between Carbon and Emery counties, I have lived in southeastern Utah for 40 years and have never attended a political party meeting. I consider myself to be an Independent.
I have a wife, son, and three dogs. It has always been my opinion we are all Independents. We vote for the person not the party. This year, I have been very concerned about the direction our country is headed. It is the first time in my life that I'm worried if our country can survive this administration. I feel strongly that we need to elect all new people and start over!
On the lighter side, I would like to share a true story. I'll admit it's not totally original.
Last Sunday, I went out in my back yard and an area that my three dogs use to recreate in all year. The snow was finally gone and I observed a great many piles that needed to be disposed of. This took at least two hours. At that point, I went into the garage and opened a forty pound bag of dog food, topped off their food bowls, filled their water dishes and checked the heat lamp over their doggie beds. At last, I went into the dining room and poured myself a drink and sat down to write out checks to pay bills. The third bill I went to pay was from our veterinarian for our dogs regular check up and shots.
As I was writing this check, I realized my dogs were Democrats. I clean up their messes, provide housing, food, utilities and their medical care.
Does any one else have a problem with this picture? Read the Obama health care bill.

Comments about Patagonia Switchback Bra (Women's):
I typically wear a 34 or a small 36 B-C bra. I am slender in the chest area. I bought medium and have to use the furthest out of the adjustment hooks. I am comfortable with this, but if you have a little extra flesh around the chest area you might consider going up a size.
The only negative is a lack of moisture wicking in the band area because of the wrap around design. Sweat accumulates in the band area. It isn't able to wick because of the double thickness. Overall, I like the bra it stays in place. The wrap around works like underwire and I really like this feature. I am not busty,and I still bounce around a bit. I don't think this bra would do high impact support very well.

What is the base of your irrigation system?
Order within 0hrs 0mins for same-day shipping!
*Not available with backorder/drop-ship items. See Shipping Policy
The Pro-C controller was first introduced to the market in 2001, changing the way contractors and home owners alike think about sprinkler controllers. Its ability to expand to meet the needs of any application along with its affordable price made it the optimal choice for most residential and light commercial applications. No other controller on the market has proven to have the same tradition of dependability and reliability, making the Pro-C series of controllers a recognized industry leader.
The new generation of Pro-C controllers are now labeled as an EPA WaterSense® smart device*. They are capable of calculating Evapotranspiration (ET) automatically and adjusting the watering programs daily to save and conserve water. The new Pro-C controller now seamlessly interfaces with the Hunter Solar Sync® using the included dial settings making it easy to manage your irrigation responsibly. includes additional new features but has been developed and built upon the solid foundation of previous Pro-C models.
*When paired with Solar Sync weather sensor
CE, UL, cUL, C-tick, FCC
Electrical Specifications:
Extra Benefits:
By adding a Solar Sync™ to your Hunter controller, it transforms into a smart controller using local weather conditions to tailor watering schedules to actual conditions on the site. A Hunter controller with Solar Sync has been independently proven to have a detailed list of water saving features and has been approved by the EPA as a WaterSense Smart Watering Controller.
A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory. This allows the saved watering schedule to be restored at any time. This can be used to set a controller back to its initial settings after tampering or at the beginning of a new season.
Automatic short circuit protection is a feature found in all Hunter AC powered controllers. This feature automatically detects electrical faults, which are typically caused by wiring issues. Stations that have shorts detected are skipped, allowing watering to continue for those stations where faults are not detected. There are no fuses to blow or internal circuit breakers to trip, so complete irrigation system shutdown is avoided.
The Quick Check feature makes field wiring issues easy to assess with the push of a button. Quick Check displays an ERR message when a field wiring short is detected on a particular station number.
This feature allows for quick adjustments to irrigation run times through a percentage scale. During peak season, set the seasonal adjustment to 100%. If weather conditions require less water, enter the appropriate percentage value (i.e. 50%) to cut down irrigation run times without the need to adjust each station in the program. This model offers two different ways to use Seasonal Adjustment to reduce water usage: Global and Daily.
Global: The Global option provides a Seasonal Adjustment percentage to all station Run Times on all of the controller's Programs.
Daily: With the addition of a Solar Sync ET Sensor, the controller has the ability to automatically implement daily adjustments based on measured local weather.
Global: The Global option provides a Seasonal Adjustment percentage to all station Run Times on all of the controller's Programs.
Daily: With the addition of a Solar Sync ET Sensor, the controller has the ability to automatically implement daily adjustments based on measured local weather.
A delay in watering between individual stations as the controller moves from one to the next. The delay may range from a few seconds, to permit slow-closing valves time to shut down, or much longer to allow pressure tanks, etc., to refill or recharge.
The ability to specify which program or stations will be shut down in response to a specific sensor alarm. This allows stations or programs unaffected by the sensor to continue automatic operations.;
Day(s) of the week can be programmed Off in advance, so that irrigation does not occur regardless of program interval schedules. For example, if the gardener mows the lawn on Saturday, the Non-Water Days feature allows Saturday to be programmed Off, so that watering will not occur.

Posted on March 24, 2014
Opeth frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt recently conducted an interview with Noisey in which he discusses his own artist development, the evolution of Opeth & heavy music over the past 24. He also talks about Roadburn festival which he will be curating this year.
When asked about his personal evolution, Mikael had this to say; "I was 14 when I had that band Eruption. It was a three-piece, and I did write the songs, but we also played some covers. But it was just a learning thing for me, just a fun thing to play together with your pals and play some heavy metal songs. We did some Misfits covers and stuff like that-really simple stuff, and I remember I was just blown away by the fact that you could get these instruments to sound good together. That you could have a drumbeat, a bass guitar that would add to the guitar riffs that I was playing just blew my mind. It was really just innocent fun, basically, in those days, and then now it's been so many years since, but it's what I do. It's what's kind of shaped my whole personality and my whole life. I owe so much to music. Like I said, it's become part of my personality. Everybody who knows me knows how important it is for me. I've changed so much. It's impossible to say. But I like to keep that innocence intact a little bit, because I don't want to get too carried away in the business side of things. I'm interested in the business side of things, but I still value the creativity and the creative side of being in a band more than anything else. I mean, I have a career, so to speak, and we do make a living doing this now, which is fantastic of course, but I like to think it's never been at the expense of that initial innocence in creativity. It's still there."
