Better Work Environment, Better Technology
MONTROSE – After two-and-a-half years and approximately $1 million worth of work, the region's new, state-of-the-art 911 dispatch center, located at the Montrose County Sheriff's Office, went into operation this week with a host of new technologies and more space for dispatchers.
The new 911-dispatch center, which serves a total of 31 agencies throughout the region including law enforcement and emergency response organizations in Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel counties, went live at 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning. According to the center's Communications Manager Susan Byrne, who offered a tour on Monday, the new space is two-and-a-half times larger than the old dispatch center and will allow for better technology and room to grow.
"We are so excited and really proud of this project," Byrne said. "This will be a nice and much larger space to work in. We were so cramped before. It will be a whole new environment."
At any time, five to seven dispatchers are working the dispatch center. At its previous location, Byrne said, dispatchers worked in such close quarters that background noise could be an issue during busy call times. In the new center, there is plenty of space between dispatchers; a host of new monitors, desks and call equipment will not only make their jobs easier but more effective in getting responders where they need to go.
For instance, Byrne said, the new 911 dispatch center has all the latest mapping technology, enabling phone and mapping systems to work hand-in-hand. If, say, a bridge or a road is closed and there is an emergency near that closure, the new technology will re-route responders immediately and cut down on response time.
Montrose County Sheriff Rick Dunlap said the new monitors show where emergency responders are located and display information bulletins about ongoing incidents.
"It's very exciting," Dunlap said. "This technology will keep everyone up-to-date in ways we didn't have in the past."
Wednesday morning's switch to the new dispatch center was going to be tricky, Byrne said, and while it was taking place, calls were re-routed to the dispatch center in Delta while the new systems were set up and launched. Byrne said the new center was paid for by the users of the dispatch center as well as some grant funding.
Byrne added that the new dispatch center will not only have the ability to expand if more dispatchers are needed in the future, but will also grow along with new dispatch technology as it is invented – something that was hindered by the old location.
"It's been a long process to get to this point and we are really excited," she said.

Spring is on the way, beauties! In order to get our skin in tip-top shape for the new season, we looked to Cosmetic Dermal Therapist, Amy Chalmers, for tips on how to make the transition from the inside, out. "The best way to get that healthy glowing skin is to ensure adequate nutritional intake to the cells and systems that make up your body's natural moisturizing factors," says Chalmers. What exactly does she mean, you ask?
1. EFA's omega-3s and -6s work to build up your acid mantle, one of the top three layers of the skin's defense system. Kiwi, flax, salmon, and walnuts are great sources!
2. Antioxidants prevent lipid peroxidation, which breaks down the membrane of cells and prevents them from doing their work. Vitamins A, B3, C, and E are powerful antioxidants and can be found in berries and beans.
3. Amino acids and minerals feed keratinocyte, which helps your natural moisturizing factors keep water locked in to preserve the softness and smoothness of your skin. Active Calcium is a great source.
4. Water needs to be consumed throughout the day to have an accumulative effect. It is recommended to drink two liters a day-but remember, things like coconut water, kambucha, green tea, and lemon water work too.
5. Greens are full of an assortment of essential nutrients to optimize cell function and keep your skin looking its best. Make your own green drink and be sure to include the following boosters: green powder, chlorella, seaweed, bok choy, spinach, or kale.
6. Vitamin D supplements are a great way to get the proper doses recommended without having to put your skin in the harmful rays of the sun.
7. Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that is best known for its plumping effects on the skin. It has the ability to bond water to the tissues and help drive collagen production. To ensure the maintenance of healthy levels of Hyaluronic Acid in your skin, try magnesium, zinc, and phytoestrogen supplements.

2013 Stanley Cup Playoff Team - Ottawa Senators
One of the least likely participants in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs is the Ottawa Senators. It's not that the Senators had few expectations at the beginning of the short regular season, but rather it's that Ottawa seemed to have another star suffer a significant injury every other week. Centerman Jason Spezza played only five games this year and is probably out for the first round of the 2013 NHL Playoffs. Defending Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson suffered a gruesome cut to his Achilles tendon in a freak play against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has somehow managed to recover in miraculous time and joined the team in the last week of the season to prepare for their first round matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.
Goaltending was the key component that kept the Ottawa Senators in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoff conversation. Craig Anderson was a magician in between the pipes, leading the NHL in GAA for much of the season and making dazzling saves in high volumes over the course of the season. Because of their depth at the position, the Senators made a trade deadline move with the Tampa Bay Lightning to acquire young scoring threat Cory Conacher. They're hoping some young energy, paired with playoff veterans like Captain Daniel Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar, will help the Senators defeat bitter national rival Montreal Canadiens. The cities are close together geographically and the fans despise the other franchise. This will be a tightly contested and bitter seven-game showdown. Can the Ottawa Senators continue to surprise the analysts and overcome injury to make a 2013 NHL Playoff run?
Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup Playoff Opponent
Ottawa wasn't guaranteed a playoff spot until their victories over the last weekend of the NHL regular season including a victory over the Boston Bruins. They will need to defend their home ice at ScotiaBank Place and steal a victory on the road if they hope to win a first round series against the Montreal Canadiens. The teams split their season series, each winning both games at home.

I've attached a drawing of a proposed new drain, sorry for the poor quality. I'm thinking this may be one option to solve the problem. The drawing corresponds to the existing setup (see previous photo posted).
My other thought is, would it be acceptable to create the same drain as proposed in the drawing, but instead of adding a new dedicated drain line running into the sump pump/sewer ejection pit I could simply T into the vent stack for the pit? I realize this is a "no-no" generally speaking, but wasn't sure if given the small discharge of condensate lines if this would be acceptable still. Otherwise, I could just do the dedicated drain line as illustrated in the drawing.
Curious if anyone else has any recommendations.

Saints Split With Falcons in Doubleheader Action
Story by Walker McCrary, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia baseball team split the series-opening doubleheader with Pfeiffer University on Saturday afternoon. The Saints (2-9) won the first game 5-4 before dropping the second 6-2 to the Falcons (2-11).
Game 1: North Georgia 5, Pfeiffer 4
Pfeiffer jumped ahead of the Saints early in the first game as Kyle Hackney singled up the middle, scoring Jon Gray in the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead.
The scoring was hard to come by until the bottom of the fourth when Tremayne Toorie hit his first triple of the season to lead off the inning. Eason Spivey followed the triple with a sacrifice fly to knot the score at one.
North Georgia would follow the tying run in the fourth with four runs in the fifth as the Saints sent 10 batters to the plate. Jesse Strickland started the scoring as he knocked in Cameron Crawford on an RBI double. Derek Hooper singled in the next at-bat, scoring Strickland.
After a stolen base by Hooper, Toorie sent a liner down the left field line, plating Hooper in the process. Travis Naraine would get the final RBI of the inning, scoring Toorie on a double to left-center.
The Falcons got one run back in the sixth as Gray scored on a Matt Wade single to left field, making the score 5-2.
Pfeiffer would score again in the top of the seventh on a Kevin Price RBI double to right field, scoring Jacob Yates. The Falcons got one more in the ninth before redshirt freshman pitcher Brandon Agar shut down the Falcons to clinch the 5-4 victory.
Christian Turnipseed picked up his first win of the season, going 6.2 innings and allowing just six hits and two earned runs while striking out eight batters. Agar got his first save of the season, going two innings and allowing two hits and a run while Pfeiffer's Bryan Tuttle picked up his fourth loss of the season.
Game 2: Pfeiffer 6, North Georgia 2
Game two saw the Saints score first on a Spivey double to the right field fence, scoring Toorie and taking an early 1-0 lead.
The Falcons responded with two back-to-back doubles in the second frame to tie the score before taking the lead in the fourth 2-1 on a Dalton Lindley single, scoring Cole McGraw.
North Georgia tied the score at two in the sixth inning after Toorie scored on a wild pitch by Ring.
Pfeiffer would have their best inning at the plate in the eighth when Wade and Hackney homered on back-to-back pitches to right and left field. After the two homers, the Falcons would plate one more run to make the score 6-2.
North Georgia could not plate another run in the game and the Falcons picked up their second win of the season.
Jeff Barkley (1-0) came on in relief for Pfeiffer and picked up the win, while Blake Gaubert (0-1) was tabbed with the loss. Taylor Keinat got a no-decision after pitching seven innings and allowing nine hits and two runs.
Toorie finished the day 5-for-8 at the plate with a triple, an RBI and four runs scored. Brad Barto went 2-for-4 in game two with two doubles.
The Saints will look to win the series in the rubber match against the Falcons tomorrow, February 24, at Bob Stein Stadium. First pitch is slated for high noon.

Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Colour Reviews
Perfect in Peony!It took me a few weeks to use this after I bought it--I didn't want to deface the beautiful inscribed flowers. And then I caved and found that this gives me a gorgeous, natural flush which wears a long time. — 11 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover ColorI received this as a gift with a Macy's purchase for free but never really used it until recently. Man does it look nice! I'm usually very pale and and pretty golden since I am of east Asian descent, so normally, any blush on my face would look terrible. It would be too prominent, as if someone had slapped me. This is perfect, it is very natural and light weight, I would definitely buy it once I r...read moreun out! I never wore blush or eyeshadow and never thought I would. However, I found this in one of the many Clinique GWP make-up bags I received from my mom that I had stuffed into my closet. I was messing around and decided to play with this. I was really surprised! I always thought of blush as a tacky, over-the-top kinda thing, but this really looked natural. I'm more *ahem* mature now, and thought a little color actually looked kinda nice. What's more, I tried the light shade on my eyebrow (orbital bone?) and was surprised again! It brightens my eyes without looking white/silver/disco ball tacky. Win win! I now wear both almost every day. Since I started wearing it I have received compliments about my face like I have a "nice glow" and I look "fresh." Hey, I'll take it! The sample size has lasted me months. I'm now preparing to shell out the $30 for the full size. I have never in my life spent that kind of money on make up. So I really like this stuff! Only negative is that it broke pretty soon after I began using it, mixing the colors a bit. I did my best to separate out one and put it in a different container, but it was a drag. Hoping that doesn't happen with the big one... I use a kabuki brush to sheer it out a bit and apply it to my apples, along my cheekbones, and to my temples to thin out my round face. I have to admit, it makes me look gorgeous. I get compliments all the time, and when I tell people im wearing blush, they all say 'no way! it looks so natural and real!' I have had this for 2 years and I'm not even half way done with it. Its only $30 and I'm pretty sure this will last me another 3 years. amazing value! The compact is so cute and chic, and the blush itself is beautiful. Clinique is usually a hit or miss for me, but what a great product! I will buy this again and again, and I totally recommend it! I really like this. The color is such a pretty pink color. It's the perfect cheek color for when I want something a little brighter than my usual nude/pink blushes. It works great with plum-y or red pink lip colors. I like the packageing, too. It feels sturdy and a little goes a long way. The shimmer in it is the kind a like, glowy. It doesn't emphasize pores which is a great plus. I'm about NC35 and shows up nicely. The only one of the 3 colors that actually worked for me.

Great glowI have this in peony and it gives me a great glow and a soft rose color. It is also a great value for the size that you receive. I did hear that this is being discontinued so it would be smart to buy it soon. Hopefully they will make a replacement product similar to this for all the fans out there. — 2 years, 1 month agobeautybody | 128 reviews

Peony makes PerfectPeony is my favorite shade of the Fresh Blooms, but they're all truly lovely. Peony gives me this wonderful peachy glow that is unmatched with any other blush I've ever tried.

Pretty blushy pinkI've had one go to blush for two years, i finally decided to switch it up a bit. I bought this when i purchased a foundation from Clinique and it came highly recommended from the sales clerk. I am a light olive during the winter, and a medium tan in the summer. This surprisingly works well on both of my skin tones. I especially love the light kiss of pink it does to my cheeks during the winter months. (A — 4 months, 3 weeks agoDazedNdConfused | 40 reviews

Most Flattering Blush EVER!!I have very fair skin, and it's very easy for blush to look too dark on my skin. In 2009, Clinique did a Limited Edition run of Fresh Bloom All Over Color in Bamboo Pink. I had used another shade of Clinuque's blush since my teenage years and liked it, but I was thrilled to have tried this blush palate! What makes Fresh Bloom unique is the various complimentary shades in one compact. This is an...read more incredible idea, after all, cheeks' flushed appearance take on multidimensional hues. Rather than separating the shades into their own sections, they all are in the same pot, appearing as a beautiful floral design! Clinique clearly created this artistic element for a functional reason: the floral design enables me to effortlessly blend the shades together with my brush, resulting in the most natural looking, ever-so-slight hint of rosy cheeks! In cases where other brands have mixed blush shades into one compact, they: 1) separated the shades, making them impossible to blend, 2) included the hues into a single palate, allowing for easy color blending, BUT arranged the colors in a uniform pattern (ie: alternating in rows of teeny, uniform squares) that didn't allow for natural color saturation on the brush, leading to poor application on the cheeks, or 3) Did the same as #1 and #2, but added insult to injury by pairing REALLY horrible shades together that are not natural looking or complementary of each other. Clinique truly put great thought into the hue-pairings and ensuring that their Bloom design would result in flawless looking cheeks! Here's the problem: Although Clinique still makes Fresh Bloom blush in other shades, they unfortunately have not brought Bamboo Pink back to life since its one-month run in June of 2009. I find it odd since this collection (it was blush, lipstick/gloss, eyeshadows, etc. in Bamboo Pink) flew off the shelves AND fashion critiques raved that Bamboo Pink was the most amazing shade since it pulled off the rare feat of complimenting all skin tones, from super-fair to extremely-dark! The only way to score this blush (and most of the other items in the collection) these days is by paying jacked-up prices for it through eBay and other sites that sell discontinued makeup lines. It's not likely you'll find them -- my hunts have become exceedingly harder, and most recently< I couldn't even find the eyeshadows! Bottom Line: I highly recommend this product! You aren't likely to find the Bamboo Pink shade, but Clinique currently produces several other flattering Fresh Bloom blushes. So long as you aren't really light-skinned, you'll probably find a shade that works for you and will result in equally stunning results. If you are light-skinned, I would suggest going to a Clinique counter to have a consultant test the current Fresh Bloom colors on your face to be sure they don't look too dark or off base. It's not that you won't find a great color, but it would be much harder to figure it out if you're shopping online. Trying the colors on your face while factoring in your undertones, hair/eye color, etc. in the mirror will help you nail the best option for you! Happy blushing! I sure am . . . until I run out of Bamboo Pink options, lol! ;-p — 10 months, 3 weeks agoMashaT22 | 2 reviews

Asthma Medications (cont.)
In this Article
How Frequently Will I Have to Take Asthma Medicines?
Asthma can't be cured. How often you need to take your asthma medicine depends on how severe your asthma is and how frequently you have symptoms. For example, if your asthma symptoms occur only during the time of the year when your allergies act up, then you may only have to take medications to control your symptoms during that time. However, this is somewhat unusual, and most people with asthma need to take medications every day.
Asthma Medication Guidelines
Asthma medications are the foundation of good asthma control. Learn all you can about your medications. Know what medications are included in your asthma action plan, when these medications should be taken, their expected results, and what to do when they fail. Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:

The Age of Mediocrity
--José Ortega y Gasset
Chapter 1, The Crowd Phenomenon
. . .
Future historians will surely call ours the Age of Mediocrity. That is, if they can recognize what mediocrity is by then, having been immersed in it so long they take it for excellence. Watching the president of the United States present this year's Medals of Freedom -- does anyone remember last year's, let alone any from the years before? -- the only striking aspect of the ceremony was the absence of anything striking.
Everything about the presentation of the-nation's-highest-civilian-honor, as the news coverage inevitably called it, seemed ordinary, nothing special, poor-to-middlin', commonplace but showy. In a word, mediocre. Not indecent, certainly, just familiar. As in familiarity breeds . . .
It was like watching one of the many unmemorable sitcoms on the tube. Something to fill a room with background noise lest we risk thinking. This year's show had been dunked in the same patina of ordinary vulgarity that covers the rest of American life in our time, made all the more so by the obligatory pomp-and-circumstance that came with the presentation of the medals, like french fries.
Ours is an age of fast food, fast honors and fast commentary on same. Then it can all be fast forgotten. If only this year's ceremony had been truly awful, not just part of the awfulness we accept daily, it would have been memorable. Instead it was eminently forgettable. Indeed, it is already forgotten.
. . .
For the most part, this year's medalists were the usual, conventional choices. But here and there on the list were some shining exceptions to the mediocre rule. Let that much be said, it should be said, from the outset. Let us now praise, no, not famous men but a few of this year's honorees who should be famous:
There was Jan Karski, the Polish patriot and resistance fighter who became an eloquent teacher in his long exile from his native land. His nobility shone through a life of both action and thought. Gallant and elegant to the end, his grand contempt for both great totalitarianisms, Nazism and Communism, that rolled over his country and the world in his time was evident in every word of his lectures at Georgetown. It fit right in with his own tragic sense of life that he would receive this honor only posthumously.
John Doar was a lawyer for the Justice Department who actually sought justice. And the peace only justice can bring. The martyrs of the civil-rights movement of the last century are regularly invoked; the country should also remember the massacres that were prevented by the likes of John Doar, assistant attorney general for civil rights and profile in courage.
And then there was the incomparable Pat Summitt, the University of Tennessee's already legendary women's basketball coach, the Iron Lady of college sport.
. . .
However bright an exception here and there, in general this year's honorees were the usual pack of politic choices. It was as if a statistician had been assigned to come up with a random sample of politically correct heroes. One pop artist, one faux poet, one retired jurist still bent on arguing the cases he'd lost, one high public official whose chief distinction was length of time served ... in short, at least one mediocrity to please everybody's taste. Or at least our taste when we were young.
The Hon. Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States, mastered these ceremonies. A president's schedule must be crammed with such events from early morning till late at night; it goes with being head of state, or at least head of a mass democracy.
Our president set the tone of this year's event, or maybe its absence of tone, when he described the overflow crowd that had been drawn to the East Room to applaud the medalists as "a testament to how cool this group is. Everybody wanted to check 'em out."
The president's other remarks were in much the same (clotted) vein. Embarrassing, perhaps, but par for presidential remarks in an age of mediocrity.
At one point, the president said he had learned to write by reading one of this year's honorees. (Drum roll, please.) Namely, that romance novelist of current American intellectuals, the one and only (let us hope) Toni Morrison. Which explains a lot about the president's literary style. And the style of the age. Sentiment was replaced by sentimentality some time ago.
With almost Clintonian gusto, the president made it clear that the real importance of those being honored was the part they had played in shaping, informing and inspiring his own great life. On such occasions, Mr. Obama seems to release his inner Joe Biden. He really ought to keep it caged.
. . .
This year's honorees could have been scientifically chosen by some expert statistician to represent the collective taste. And why not? These are times when we no longer deplore the conventional wisdom but celebrate it, as in "The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations" (2004).
Pity poor, always out-of-step H.L. Mencken, that holdover from the 1920s and the Jazz Age, who regularly deplored the taste of the great American public. Clearly he was wrong. At least by our lights in 2012. Our dim lights.

Britain's Secret Treasures
11 July 2012
NEWS SHOCK: Archaeologist sacrifices ex-Blue Peter presenter
Catch Britain's Secret Treasures (ITV), Tuesday 17 July 7.30pm
Swabian knot as featured in Britain's Secret Treasures
Catch 'Britain's Secret Treasures' (ITV), Tuesday 17 July 7.30pm and see Cardiff Professor of Archaeology Miranda Aldhouse-Green showing Gethin Jones [presenter, formerly Blue Peter] and celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke some grisly secrets of the past, as part of National Archaeology week.
A specialist in Iron Age and Roman period ritual and religion, Miranda Aldhouse-Green explains:
'The series celebrates special archaeological objects that come under the Portable Antiquities Scheme. We filmed in two locations: the first, on the Langstone Hoard, was shot, with presenter Gethin Jones, at the Derek Upton Centre at Magor Marsh.'
'The hoard consisted of late Iron Age drinking equipment, including a stunning tankard, used in communal feasts, and made in the early first century AD. The hoard probably represents a kind of sacrificial ritual, in which precious objects were consigned to watery places in order to communicate with the gods. Human sacrifice was also a feature of the film, and I had the privilege of 'sacrificing' Gethin by means of a club, a knife and a garotte!'
The second location was the Nicky Clarke Hair Salon in London's Mayfair. It features the Tamworth Comb, a beautiful little decorated bronze Iron Age hair-comb, made in the first century BC that was used to pin up long hair, and when it wasn't in use, it hung from a suspension hole at the waist of its owner.
The comb illustrates the increasing emphasis on personal grooming that developed in Iron Age Britain, and it would have been a high-status object. The film shows Nicky experimenting with different Iron Age hairstyles, using the comb, with evidence from ancient images and bog-bodies.
Miranda appears on the programme on Tuesday 17 July at 7.30pm on ITV1. The series is timed to celebrate National Archaeology week.
