Skip to comments.Second suicide bomb in 24 hours causes carnage in Volgograd ... six weeks ahead of the Olympics
Posted on 12/30/2013 6:09:22 AM PST by Uncle Chip
Russia faces a New Year security nightmare after the second devastating suicide bomb explosion within 24 hours, this time on a rush hour trolley bus in Volgograd.
The latest blast killed at least 14 with 28 wounded, some severely.
A day earlier, an explosion reported as being detonated by a female "black widow" suicide bomber saw 17 killed and dozens wounded in the city's main railway station.
The latest explosion was said by law enforcement officials to have been caused by a man detonating a bomb in a crowded trolley bus packed with early morning commuters.
At least 14 people were killed and 28 wounded in the bombing
'The explosives were detonated by a male suicide bomber, fragments of whose body have been found and sent for DNA testing to identify him,' said Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee, equivalent of the FBI.
'According to preliminary information, the explosive device was the equivalent of at least 4 kg of TNT, and like the explosive device used at the railway station, it was stuffed with metal filings.
It was not immediately clear why he is suspected. The blasts are causing panic in the city, and deep concern all over Russia as people prepare to celebrate the New Year.
'Since both explosive devices contained identical metal filings, this confirms the investigation's theory that two terrorist attacks are linked.'
Security officials today named a suspected perpetrator of the trolley bus explosion as Pavel Pechenkin, from the Volga River republic of Mariy El.....

Not seeing this discussed a lot; but this seems like a big deal.
I get the sense that there will be no Winter Olympics In Russia !
Volgograd was Stalingrad during WW2; I would imagine these may be clansmen or clanswomen of the Boston Marathon bombers.
I think they are going to have to cancel the Olympics
The Russians are serious people. After the Olympics they will deal with the Saudi motivators and financiers of these jihadists in a definitive manner. This politically correct nonsense that the Wahhabi operating openly and financed by the Saudis can't be touched will come to an abrupt end.
I dont think they will wait until AFTER the Olympics. Unless things have changed you can expect and immediate and serious response.
I recall cold war stories where some moron group kidnapped a russian to coerce them the way they were doing in other countries, and Russia tossed some of their in-country friends right into a blast furnace (alive). Not a peep out of them after.
" after converting to Islam" They actually said it. Shocking for a UK paper.
Bush II kisses the Saudi king. Obama bows to the Saudi king. That's how US presidents deal with the motivators and financiers of radical islam.
Somehow I think Vlad will take a different path. And so Vlad might just end up saving Western civilization.
It's good that Obama isn't sending anyone of importance to lead our Olympians.
Probably not related, but:
Russia has been a stalwart supporter of the terrorist-supporting Iran. And now Russia is facing their own terrorists. When you sleep with the dogs, don't be surprised when you wake up with fleas!
I was in Moscow when the scum invaded the theater and took hostages. The Russian "authorities" publicly announced that they had been in contact with the families of the terrorists and that they were all ok, "for now".
On an earlier thread a FReeper whose wife is from the city was on the phone with her family (still there) and reported that there was a third bombing. I'll find the thread and post a link.
Yep, you got the who and the consequences, but I think sooner rather than later.
Vlad should nuke Mecca.
"He apparently joined a illegal armed band in spring 2012 after converting to Islam and changing his name to Ansar Ar-Rusi."
Helpful hints.
This politically correct nonsense that the Wahhabi operating openly and financed by the Saudis cant be touched will come to an abrupt end.
Bang. No more Mecca.
Russia has been facing their own and other Islamic terrorists long before we faced 'em at Tripoli.
A ping with regrets.
Prince Bandar told Putin:
"I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics in the city of Sochi on the Black Sea next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us..."
If the Chechens disrupt the Sochi Games Putin will have Prince Bandar's head on a platter.
This reminds me, that we here in the USA need a lot more public transport like trains, street-cars and buses.
Or . . . . just perhaps there is more than just the Saudis behind these attacks on Russia and Putin.
Islamic Jihadists attacking Russia in Stalingrad. They should read their history. The Russians will not be moved from there.
"...it was stuffed with metal filings. "
Metal FILINGS? Metal dust? Finely powdered metal is sometimes used to augment an explosive, but I have a feeling that what they are trying to describe is steel scrap from a stamping machine or possibly lathe turnings. The individual particles need to be bigger than "filings" for them to act as shrapnel.
I'm old enough to remember the 1972 Olympics
I pray this one ends better.
You're ignoring the Sunni/Shia divide when you write that: Russia only has problems with Sunni terrorists. In general, Islamic terrorism is Sunni (Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the various Central Asian terrorist groups, plus the not-actively-terrorist Hizb ut Tahrir, are all Sunni and exist because of the anomie created by the destruction of the Caliphate by the New Turks in the 1920's). And Sunni terrorism is directed against the whole non-Sunni world, draws upon a much larger population, and (thanks to the Saudis following a "pay and point" strategy in keeping their monarchy from being overthrown) is much better financed.
Shi'ite terrorism, by contrast, is narrowly focused against Israel (Hebzollah in Lebanon) and (thanks to the Shah of Iran having been one of "our bastards" during the Cold War) the U.S.
The bombings in Russia are not blowback from support of Iran. In the long run the terrorists plaguing Russia are also enemies of the Iranian regime since the Iranian regime is Shi'ite.
There is a violent ideology in the world that is responsible for almost all of the violence in the world. It is so bad, that in a sane country anyone who belongs to it would be expelled or jailed.
@ Post 7 - you are right. The Russian response to this will likely be far more harsh than anything we imagine in the West.
Saudi Arabia is playing with fire.
I agree. The Russians under Putin will seek to eradicate radical Islamists. I say go for it and ruthlessly. Let Russia be the Great Satan again.
Get ready for the first all gay all the time olympics.
Photo of alleged perp at site.
I believe I said I do not believe they are directly related.
My post was more along the lines of - you make "friends" of dogs, don't be surprised when it is dogs that come around and bite you.
Just because it is not the same breed of dog you are buddies with, does not take away the poetry of the situation.
Unfortunately, the same applies to the U.S., and in our case, unlike Russia's, it's the same breed of dog that's doing the biting: we backed the Chechens diplomatically for a long time, and went all in on behalf of the Sunni Muslims in the Balkans, first in Bosnia, then in Kosovo, where the KLA had ties to Al Qaeda and was classified as a terrorist organization by the State Department until Madeline Albright decided her personal animus against the Serbs should be the basis for American foreign policy, not to mention keeping the Wahabi monarchy in power in Saudi Arabia. And our thank you notes from Sunni Islam were the Tanzania embassy bombing, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole and 9/11.

Directions to Ericeira VillaAddress: Rua Eduardo Henriques Pereira lote 3, Ericeira, Portugal
Average rating: 0%
Rooms from: US$ 67.24
Directions to Ericeira Villa
TO GET TO ERICEIRA FROM LISBON AIRPORT: 1) BUS: A shuttle runs between Lisbon airport and the city centre and stops on its way at 'Campo Grande', or you can take a taxi to Campo Grande. Buses go from here every hour to Ericeira in the daytime. The busline is called Mafrense and the stop is close to the stairs of the metro, on the other side of the stadion Alvalade XXI. The destination of your bus is Venda do Pinheiro, Malveira, Mafra and Ericeira. You must count with about 2 hours' travel if you decide to use this method. 2) TAXI You may, however, find it more practical to order a TAXI from us to take you from the airport to Ericeira. The drive takes less than 1 hour. We have negotiated a preferential rate for this transfer. Please see your pricelist for details. The taxi-driver will be waiting for you when you come out from the customs and he will be holding up a sheet of paper with your name; he will give you the keys to your holiday house and take you there direct if it is outside the office hours. (Please do not enter a taxi the driver of which does not have your name in his possession.) Alternatively you can get a taxi at the airport rank or rent a car from us. If you arrive at the office by a taxi, which has not been ordered through us, please do not empty the taxi of your luggage as you shall proceed in your taxi to your holiday home after you have retrieved the keys. We do unfortunately not have delivery service between the office and your villa. 3) RENTED CAR (please also see our car hire rates). Coming out of the carpark building you turn right immediately, going downhill in the direction 'Parque das Naçoes'. Go across the round-about (Ponte, Vasco da Gama - A2), drive 50 m and after having passed under a bridge turn left at the traffic lights. You are now on a motorway. (If you miss the turn coming out of the car park building you may end up on at different, much larger round-about. Make sure you take the turn to Norte/Ponte/Vasco da Gama and you wil end up on the same motorway). After 1.8 km take the turn to the right signed IC17/Outros Destinos and immediately after take the left lane 'Outros Destinos'. After further 3.8 km you will enter a tunnel, stay in the right lane which takes you to A8/Malveira/Leiria. Make sure you follow the signs to Leiria/Malveira. The motorway divides, follow the signs to Malveira/Mafra. Exit at Mafra and you are 13 kms from Ericeira. In Ericeira you arrive at a T-junction signed Lisbon and Sintra to the left and Ericeira to the right, turn left. (do NOT enter the centre of the town.) 200 m further on you arrive at a crossroad, signed to the right 'centro'. Park around here, the office is on the corner of this street, on top of a flight of prominent steps. TO GET TO ERICEIRA TRAVELLING BY CAR 1) If you come from Mafra / Malveira you arrive in Ericeira at a T-junction signed Lisbon and Sintra to the left and Ericeira to the right, turn left. (do NOT enter the centre of the town.) 200 m further on you arrive at a crossroads, signed to the right 'centro'. Park around here, the office is on the corner of this street, on top of a flight of prominent steps. 2) If you come from Torres Vedras / Ribamar, stay on the main road once in Ericeira. After the firestation continue 300 m (or 200 m after a sign to Mafra) and you arrive at a crossroads, signed to the right 'centro'. Park around here. 3) If you come from Sintra stay on the main road another 200 m after the petrol station 'Galp', which is at the beginning of the town. and you arrive at a crossroad, signed to the left 'centro'.

Doing Research in Real Time: A Collaborative Approach
This video is adapted from a presentation given at the 2010 National Genealogical Society Conference entitled "Doing Research in Real Time-An Exhilarating Collaboration Experience!" Its purpose is to demonstrate that genealogical research can be conducted by forming a collaborative team that can work together online. By utilizing this type of approach, a small team of researchers can produce more artifacts and results in less time than a single researcher working alone. The Wiki Article/Handout link found above provides more detailed information about the process and tools that can be selected and utilized.
Find Your Ancestors at the BYU Family History Library
Brigham Young University has become known for its Christian higher education, sports teams, performing groups, and other program. There is one important trait that is often neglected: many people don't think of BYU as an excellent place to do genealogical research. This webinar will introduce you to the many collections and services available to genealogical researchers at the BYU Family History Library and in other departments of the Harold B. Lee Library.
This class demonstrates many online resources for researchers looking for ancestors from Mexico. These sites include places to help identify localities, search for immigrants, and search for ancestors in databases, archives, and other websites.

LOVE THESE SHOES but they make your feet stink.
"That's basically it. These are the be-all end-all work and everyday shoe for me. I wear them errrrrwhere, they are so easy to throw on and look like you tried at least a little. I actually accidentally left them in a friend's car once and she loved them so much she wouldn't give them back and I had to buy a 2nd pair. Legit.HOWEVER fair warning: they make your feet smell. I am honestly not a stinky person, and I have never noticed this with any other pair of shoes I own. It's not a BO smell, it's kind of a chemical-y plastic smell, but it is definitely present. That's the reason I knocked off a star...these are not the shoes you kick off on the sofa at your boyfriend's place. But for work/errands, they are fab, and great for travel since they are pretty lightweight!If it's helpful for fit purposes, I have them in black, I'm a true size 7 and my feet are on the narrow side of average."

comfortable + high quality
"I've never been very comfortable wearing heels, and since developing plantar fasciitis I'm even more picky when it comes to my shoes. These wedges are super comfortable and I was able to wear them for three days straight out of the box with no discomfort. The leather is supple and the foam footbed provides plenty of cushioning. I'd definitely consider buying these in another color or print."

AWWW thanks i would like to say your not the first but............................................... .................................................. ..................................
but really your not the first but thanks man i put some thought in to that post LOL. but i am shocked in this arc that oda is not dangling some possible crew member in front of our noses yet?
Click to get your very own:Superrr~ Cross777 repellent^
There's a saying in the OP forums which goes like this..."If a new unidentified character is wearing a hat, he must be Sabo!"...Yeah, take that Obitio/Tobi/Madara theorists!
Spoiler!Akainu for the next Straw Hat Crew Member!!!
Alvida will join some day (at least she hopes so)
i did not say den would join? i said one of toms relatives i never singled one out. we have to wait to see if we see any more of toms relatives. he could have more than a brother as his only relative. so i am holding out hope that a relative of tom will join. its still a possibility.
Idk...still don't think Oda will give the crew a new member in this arc or for few afterwards maybe. The current crew just got back together and despite myself wanting to see a new crew member and what out of this world sort of character Oda would come up with to fit the SH style, I think for awhile he'll keep the crew as is and let them get reacquainted with each other, maybe a few filler arcs with backstories of the two years apart. Idk I just don't see any crew member from FI, fishman or not (unless Jewelry Bonney makes an appearance lol) but there's nothing that would discredit a fishman or what joining later on in the NW.
i actaully think jewelry bonney would join th SH
and i bet the SH will save her ==> unintentiouly though
there is just kgotta be an arc revolving about her and her past ,with akainu as the main villian ==> and the SH just happen to cross her way.
Also she was mad at the SH in SA but , i think she has sympathy for luffy now becus his roll in the war.
she will fit the crew nicely competing with luffy over food and insulting zorro all the time ,with sanji behind her haha :d
but i was shocked because usually oda teases us a lot and he has not done that with a possible crew member yet?

Tantowel Plus Half Body - 10 pack
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- No mess, quick, simple
- Single use application
- Dries in seconds
- Contains DHA: Self tanning agent, Transcutol CG: Solvent for DHA skin penetration, and Erythrulose: Color accelerator for a faster, deeper and darker natural looking tan
- Pulp fiber towelette: Exfoliates the skin during the application. Allows for smoother softer, healthier skin.
- Clean citrus fragrance: The fragrance will dissipate within 5 minutes
- Individually heat sealed packet. Maintains quality and integrity of product to ensure long-lasting life.
- About the brand
TanTowel brings you an innovation in self-tanning with the Half Body Plus towelettes.
Water (Aqua), Ethoxydiglycol, Dihydroxyacetone, Butylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Erythrolose, Sodium Metabisulfite, Fragrance (Parfum), Citric Acid, Tetrasoduim EDTA, Propylparaben, Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea.
Tantowel works best on clean, DRY skin. Open foil and remove towelette. Wipe towelette over the area to be tanned, just like washing yourself. Continue applying to the area until the towelette is dry. Remember, you cannot go over an area too much, but if you miss an area no color will develop. WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY. You can dress as soon as Tantowel is dry to the touch (approximately 1 minute). Color will develop over about 3-4 hours (do not wet the skin in any way during this time - this includes moisturizers, make-up, swimming, bathing, etc.). After the 3-4 hour developing time, you can reapply for a deeper color. A Tantowel tan generally last about 4-7 days. Reapply as necessary. For optimal results, exfoliate before application.
Created by Aussie Lori Braun, the TanTowel is the perfect single-use self-tanning towelette, designed to give you the perfect glow without UV exposure. This collection also features tanning mist and moisturizer. As seen in O, Lucky and Allure.
This Stuff Is Great!This is by far the best sunless tanner you will ever use. I have already bought, and used, three boxes. I am a full time nursing student and there is a cosmetologist in my class and she rated it a 10+ when I told her what it was. She uses's a tanning bed and gives this color/effect higher ratings than her "canned tan". Definately a keeper. Will fall to pieces if they ever stop selling it.Jun 26, 2013Laura / NC

Love these!
"I bought these for my daughter for a ballroom dance class. She loves them! They're comfy and stylish... And all for a great price! They even run true to size! I would recommend these to anyone who needs a pair of fancy heels. If someone can dance comfortably in them for 3 hours, you can wear them all day or all night!"

Beautiful Silver Shoe
"These shoes are very pretty and look great with my dress. I have wore them around the house and they are comfortable. I can't wait to wear them on vacation. If you are thinking about buying this pair, don't hesitate. I think you will like them as much as I do."

"These shoes are so cute, so it's a shame that they didn't work! I didn't actually buy them, but I tried them on in the store, and the heel was just to thin that I felt like I was going to sprain my ankle walking in them, they were just that unstable. I'm no heel pro, but I can walk in heels pretty well, and trust me when I say these simply could not be worn. I could feel where all my weight in one spot was being put on the heel, and the heels aren't even 4 inches tall!"

Well it looks like Sugarhigh + Lovestoned is ditching its usual beach babe and ultra-hippie vibe this upcoming fall season. Instead they've taken to the big city with a seriously unapologetic rebellious rocker attitude and equally rockin' wardrobe. Vintage-inspired rocker tees and low-rise jeans plus boho-inspired jewelry—Peace, love, and rocksteady indeed! And can we just point out that for being a fall collection this is so totally summer-worthy. We do like to stay ahead of the game…Perhaps we should get a head start?

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music.

Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Skip to comments.Cub Scout Troop-Den leader is a moonbat--help.
Posted on 03/20/2006 6:32:32 AM PST by Pondman88
Hi folks--I have an issue... My 7 year old son is in Cub Scouts. The den leader is my neighbor. Nice enough guy, but he is liberal. No big deal. Except yesterday I saw him at the gym and he tells me he is going to the anti war rally. This really bothers me. I really don't want my son being in this den with a leader who is (in my opinion) anti-American. Am I overreacting? Am I putting my opinions ahead of friendship and being a good neighbor? I like this guy, but I can't consider him my "friend" due to his political views....
It is rare to find liberal leaders in Scouting. I don't know much about Cub Scouting so I am pinging some others who may.
Is he a good Den leader? Does he push politics on the kids? If not, whats the big deal?
Seperate his politics from your relationship. When he has his "moments", just nod and vaguely stare at the sky. We've all lost friends to BDS [Bush Derangement Syndrome] and PEST [Post Election Stress Trauma]. Its not worth it.
If he's a good scout leader, and doesn't use his position to prosyltize your son, just let it be.
Get a Bush-Cheney '04 bumper sticker on your car's back window, and see what happens. Make sure he sees it. That'll tell you what he's all about, if he goes off on you.
You might want to quietly bring it up with his superiors, if it seems to be a problem. Or make sure you (or someone else) can be there with the den so that he doesn't spout off in front of the kids.
If he's not bringing up politics with the Cub Scouts, then I wouldn't worry about it. They have a "Citizenship" or similar requirement for their advancement (if your son is a Wolf Cub); presumably the leader will do this requirement with the boys according to the handbook.
You can't lock your family in the house and hope they never get exposed to ideas you do not like.
Your best course is to have a strong enough relationship with them so they know they can come to you and talk about what they are hearing/seeing.
Good points--thanks for the replies!!
I just have this reaction to people I think are nuts....
He is a mediocre Den Leader, but he is taking the time to do it, so I give him credit for that.
His wife is a big lib as well, so she pushed him into the Den leader thing...they seem to want to overcompensate for their liberalism. I suspect he won't be doing it very long anyways.
No. Once this guy told you he was going to an anti-war rally he voluntarily entered the area of politics, and this would give anyone a "heads up" concerning his political and social views.
Apparently he expects you to agree with his views, since he is a liberal,or he wouldn't have mentioned the rally.
If you look at the pathology of liberals, and their thirst for ideology over substance, you have a right to be concerned about your son.
Put the best interests of your son first, and let your friendship with your liberal neighbor follow its own course.
Scouting ping
I am a wolf cub den leader (2nd graders, 7-8 year olds). There isn't much latitude to go off on political tangents, and, unfortunately, there isn't much latitude to go off on religious tangents either, so, unless the guy is deviating from the curriculum from the Boy Scouts, your son should be ok. Even liberals must address the basic requirements, such as citizenship, patriotism, personal responsibility, etc..
Keep this all in mind because if you like involvement well enough, you could end up being his kid's Webelos Leader and he would be saying to his wife, "Do you think Pondman is going to teach our kid automatic weapon's skills?"
Very funny!!!
Download and review Cub Scout Leader Fast Start
My oldest went on to very high responsibility within the District as a youth leader and was involved in making a National Scouting Video on leadership for Scouts and Scouters. Besides appearing in that video, he does a voice-over to one of the segments where he talks about my involvement extemporanously. When I first saw the video and heard his comments about "his dad", he was about twenty, I almost came to tears and I thanked God for the efforts I had been allowed to extend to he and his friends.
So I will tell you truely: Buy that shirt.
Talk to the Cubmaster of the Pack of your concerns and about moving your son to a different Den, Talk to the Unit Commissioner, and the Dictrict Commissioner, Find another Pack, --- all option in the order given.
Talk to the Cubmaster of the Pack of your concerns and about moving your son to a different Den, Talk to the Unit Commissioner, and the Dictrict Commissioner, Find another Pack, --- all option in the order given.
Thanks to all for your replies!! After some reflection, I will continue with this Den, and make some inquiries into moving my son into another Den. I do value the time and commitment that the Den leader has made to Cub Scouts, and he is not imparting any negative sentiments to the young tikes ( I am there for the den meetings ). I cannot control (to a degree) the outside influences that affect my child and hope that the Scout experience will continue to enrich him and enable him to make his own (sane) choices.
It is unfortunate that some people protest this war, but they certainly do have that right.
Thanks again, it is good to have a conservative neighbor at Free Republic!!!
Tell him that if he makes sure your kid wins the Pinewood Derby you'll put in a good word for him when the evil Bushco. Rovian conspiracy starts sending libs to the re-education centers.
Yes, you are overreacting. Attend the meetings and make sure politics stay out. Worse case, join another Pack.
What year is your son, and what kind of community do you live in. Is the pack through a church or a school?
The goal of parenthood is to produce a thinking, functioning human being, not a robot who parrots back yourself.
Scouts in my area get great benefit from exploring nature because we have several teachers involved, and we have confidence in our kids to make up their own minds. There is no need for political or religious indoctrination. Kids are especially good at recognizing hypocrisy.
And you addressed this to me because?
Attending anti war rally's puts one in the catagory of "activist."
Parents have few choices, at least in public schools, where liberal teachers are concerned. But one can choose which den leader will be influencing their son.
Rush calls them "young skulls full of mush"...
I've never met a liberal activist who doesn't look for opportunities to "share" politics.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
It isn't often a coal mine receives recognition for cleaning up a former mine site. Energy West Mining Company has applied for a national award for their reclamation work on the Des-Bee-Dove Mine site. The work was done in three phases; the upper mine, the lower mine, and finally, the sediment pond area below. The mine has been shut down since the mid-1980s and everything is quiet there now. Dennis Oakley who is a senior environmental engineer for Energy West said they have submitted an application with the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining State office. All applications received by the State office are reviewed. Two nominations will then be sent on to the Office of Surface Mining field office. There are nine OSM field offices throughout the nation that cover all 50 states. Each field office will review the nominations and send the final candidates to OSM's Washington DC Headquarters. Winners will be chosen by a judging panel in Washington DC. Oakley said Energy West has taken groups on tours of the former mine site with favorable results. Oakley asked the Emery County Commission if they would write a letter of support for Energy West for the national award. "We are proud of our project. The mine has had a long history in this area."
"Mining began around 1898 at the Des-Bee-Dove Mine. It was called the Griffith Mine at the time. In 1936, two men, Edwards and Broderwick, purchased the mine and constructed access to the portals.
"In 1938, the Castle Valley Fuel Company purchased the Griffith Mine from Edwards and Broderick. Also in 1938, the LDS Church purchased coal lands adjacent to the Castle Valley Fuel Company mine and began their own operations. The LDS Church contracted John Frank Killian to operate the "Church Mine". Killian operated the mine until 1943. Castle Valley Fuel Company operated their mine until 1946.
"The LDS Church purchased the Castle Valley Fuel Company mine in 1946 and re-opened the Church Mine. The combined mining complex became the Deseret Coal Company. Coal from this complex was mined for LDS Church Members under what was called 'the welfare project'. Coal was mined for church members as well as Brigham Young University, the LDS Hospital and the LDS temple in St. George. Most of the coal went to churches or church members.
"Utah Power and Light acquired the mining complex in 1972. Three room and pillar operations existed: Beehive Mine, Little Dove Mine (Blind Canyon Seam), and Deseret Mine (Hiawatha Seam). Thus, the Des-Bee-Dove Mine complex was formed. UP&L constructed a water line for the mine which was placed on the East side of the canyon so that men could have a bath house. The mining complex was operated nearly continuously until it was idled in 1987," said Oakley.
Chuck Semborski, Manager of Geology and Exploration, indicated, "a fault line separates the Deer Creek Mine and Wilberg Mine. The Des-Bee-Dove Mine was bound by these two faults. It sits on what is known as a scissor fault where the mining was done across the fault and the coal was recovered.
"At the height of the mine's day," Semborski said, "it was running five miner sections and employed 200 miners. The mining there was hampered by faults. After the Wilberg Mine fire, the Des-Bee-Dove Mine was reopened to help supplement coal supplies to the power plant. After the Cottonwood Mine portals were developed, the Des-Bee-Dove was again shut down, this time for good. According to Semborski, "Energy West Mining evaluated the resources there and tried to sell the mine, but after many years they decided to reclaim the mine to its former state. It had been a coal mine for more than 100 years when the reclamation work began."
Nielson Construction was the contractor for the project and was awarded an Earth Day award from DOGM for their work on the project.
There is one cross over road that wasn't reclaimed due to gas development and recreation in the area. A cattle trail still runs through the property as well. The local ATV club hopes to one day have an ATV trail through the reclaimed mine-site.
The first step in the reclamation was the assessment of all the components of the project. The steel structures would be removed first and the portals closed. The bathhouse and offices would also be removed. Once demolition was completed, soil resources within the mine site needed to be evaluated. After sufficient soils were identified for reclamation, regrading the site to "approximate original contour" would be completed.
During the soil evaluation process, however; a huge pile of waste coal, or bug dust as they used to call it, was found five feet down and filled the entire valley. An estimated 112,000 tons of coal was dumped there. When this was discovered, the company found it necessary to completely redesign the reclamation plan. Changes to the plan were made to accommodate not only the coal removal from the site, but also to redesign a diversion channel that was to be constructed over the top of this so called "waste" coal pile. The quality of this waste coal was very good.
Once the reclamation plans were redesigned and approved by the Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining, reclamation began in 2003. The first phase of the project only included the reclamation of the upper mine. The lower mine was completed the following year and returned to its natural state. "The amount of coal removed from the canyon totaled 108,000 tons," Oakley said. "The slope work was very challenging for the reclamation workers. They returned the channel to nearly its natural state and while retaining stability of the slopes."
All reclaimed sites included the replanting of vegetation native to the area. "This is a harsh dry climate, but the project has been successful and the regrowth has done well. The project has already met or exceeded the vegetation standard set by DOGM," Oakley said. As a requirement of state and federal regulations, liability for the reclamation must be retained by the company for at least 10 years, and until achievement to all reclamation requirements of the State Program are met. Once the site achieves those standards, the bond can be released.
Energy West Mining feels this is a post-mining success story and those stories aren't often told in a world that considers coal mining a detriment to the environment. This reclamation project proves you can restore a site to where you will never know mining has taken place there.
It was mentioned the coal cars when they came out of the mine, tipped their load of coal over the hill onto the tipple which gave the tipple its name. The company has saved one ore car which they will use later to mark the site of the reclamation project. There is also a rock at the site that has signatures of miners and ranchers who may have worked at the mine.
Oakley mentioned deer and elk are now using the restored habitat for feeding. Everyone commented on the amazing project and how well the reclamation turned out. Commissioner Gary Kofford commented on how the project benefits the county.

|In response to Re: Roof with No Insulation beneath
: Hube: The rafters are 4"x6" spaced 3 to 4' O.C. on a 3/12 pitch roof. Toung and grove ceilin is nailed to the top of the rafters. Ceiling is roughly 12' high at center of room. See Pictures at http://www.realtor.com/Prop/1023094761
: There is about 800s.f. on top floor. Ceiling tounge & groove boards are nailed on top of the rafter/beam so it really looks nice but leaves no airspace even if I tore off sheathing and insulated when re-roofing. My only thought is when re-roofing to add rafters at 4 or 5/12 pitch above the existing roof and re-sheath and insulate below.
: The home is located in mid-Missouri, day temps in summer are betw. 90-100, the house is shaded which will help matters.

Here is another Quilt of Valor Foundation (QOV) quilt top. This one is a "tactile" top. It is made of denims, flannels, chenille, velvet, and cotton. The top allowed me to use some fabric scraps.
The quilt is machine pieced. It measures 50 in X 60 in. There are actual pockets which I hope the long-arm quilter will be able to leave functional.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

By Dee from Middletown, PA
I have had drapes from other sites but none can compare to Blindsgalore. I wanted to try custom made curtains but knew the expense would be outrageous for a company to come to your home. After ordering samples I decided to take the plunge. They are absolutely gorgeous! We went with the Bali since I needed a color that I only saw in the Bali. Love the grommets. I will be ordering for other windows in a few months.View this product

LAWRENCE-Our beloved and precious father, son, brother and husband, Paul Timothy Simmons, age 33, was suddenly taken from us as a result of a tragic accident on July 29, 2011.
He was born April 8, 1978 in Price, Utah to Tim and Diane Porter Simmons.
Growing up, Paul was a very compassionate and sweet boy to everyone, especially those in need and the elderly. He graduated from Emery High School, and in June of 1997, he married Brianne Mason. They have four beautiful daughters.
Paul pursued a career in law enforcement with the Emery County Sheriff's Office. He later entered into private business as the owner of Extreme Automotive in Price.
Through his life, Paul made many true and lifetime friends. He was instantly liked by all he met. The greatest love of his life was his four daughters (his girlies). They meant everything to him, and he was their champion. Paul never passed up a homeless animal or a friend in need. He will be dearly missed by his family and many friends.
He is survived by his wife, Brianne; daughters, Kamrie, Danielle, Raquelle and Madilyn; parents, Tim and Diane Simmons; sister, Sara (Jason) Lamb; and brother, Josh Simmons.
Funeral Mass, Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2011, 10 a.m., Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church, (200 North Carbon Avenue) Price. Vigil service, Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011, 7 p.m., Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church. Family will receive friends Tuesday and Wednesday one hour prior to services at the church. Committal service, Mt. View Cemetery, Helper. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome to share memories of Paul online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donations to a memorial fund for his girls in Paul's name at any Zion's Bank.

(editor's pick)"Todd Hebert: A Survey" Exhibition
Thursday, January 17, 2013 9 AM - 5 PM
Community Event, Culture, Museum / Gallery Exhibit
Contact: Rebecca Grandstrand 701.777.4195
Contact Dept: North Dakota Museum of Art
Website: www.ndmoa.com
North Dakota Museum of Art
261 Centennial Dr.
Grand Forks, ND 58202
Born in Valley City in 1972, Todd Hebert spent his early years in McHenry, North Dakota. His father, a high school teacher, moved the family to Dickinson in 1980 to accept the job at Dickinson High School coaching basketball and teaching social studies.
Todd played football, basketball, and baseball. He also drew and painted and took art classes from Michael Dunn, a wildlife watercolorist. According to Hebert, "Dunn made watercolors by carefully observing the outdoor world. He taught me to observe and work with great precision, something that is still important in my paintings and drawings."
He was fortunate in high school as well, studying under teachers such as Lilly Stewart. Next came UND and painting and drawing instructor Brian Paulsen, sculptor Pat Luber, and printmaker Ron Schaefer. The aspiring artist continued to develop his techniques, especially what seemed to be his innate ability to render the objects of everyday life. Above all, however, he saw that Paulsen and Luber were always working, always making art. "Their work method was important to me. I observed that the intellectual side of art and the material side of making art had to be married in order for the art to suceed."
Hebert continued, "After graduating with a BFA in painting and drawing from UND, I applied to the Rhode Island School of Design. I saw that North Dakota artist Nancy Friese was teaching there and thought I might get in." And he did. He graduated with his MFA in 1998, the same year he accepted a year-long fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. A second invitation followed from the prestigious Core Residency Program at the Glassell School of Art where he spent two years in a postgraduate residency for art critics and visual artists.
It was in Houston that he met his wife, Lillie.
His career took off with invitations to show in solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. In 2005, Connecticut's Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art gave him its prestigious Emerging Artist Award. Today, he is represented by Devin Borden Gallery in Houston and the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City. His art, however, stays grounded in the mundane, the ordinary existence of North Dakotans.According to Los Angeles art critic David Pagel, writing in the brochure that accompanies the exhibition, Hebert's art is "worlds away from the elitist esoterica that holds so much contemporary art in its thrall.
The simple things in his straightforward pictures are familiar to baby-boomers of all shapes and stripes, as well as to anyone else who grew up in the suburbs and countryside of postwar America, from the first batch of citizens for whom consumerism would define a way of life that was promising and pleasurable, until today, when the American Dream seems naïve, or at least more difficult—and distant—than it once was."
Pagel continues, "Plastic jack-o'-lanterns, sparkling sparklers, plump snowmen, and sturdy wood picnic tables suggest holidays and the seasons in which they are celebrated. In Hebert's hands, such yearly rituals are standardized events that welcome folks from all walks of life into the fun, because the religious and historical attributes often associated with these festivities have been left in the background, if not out of the picture altogether. Preferring, for example, the user-friendly accessibility of a snowman to the specific signs and symbols of Christmas, or, for that matter, Hanukkah, Eid, or Kwanzaa, Hebert's paintings evoke the general spirit of the holidays without getting caught up in the historical particularities or spiritual sides of various groups, sects, or movements."
"Similarly, the unlabeled water bottles, uncluttered decks, hardware-store scarecrows, and spider webs that appear in Hebert's paintings evoke a world both commonplace and shared, its mundane ordinariness anonymous in its un-special everydayness while simultaneously precise in its evocation of what it is like to live like this—both a part of and apart from one's surroundings."
Hebert stated, "Last summer I was offered a terrific position as Associate Professor of painting and drawing at the University of North Dakota. My wife Lillie and I have two children, ages 2½ years and four months. We decided we wanted to raise our children near one of our families, Houston for Lillie and North Dakota for me. The job offer came from UND and we grabbed it."
The North Dakota Museum of Art included Herbert's work in several Autumn Art Auctions in the 2000s. Late in 2010, Museum Director Laurel Reuter invited Hebert to mount a solo show in the Museum. The resulting "Todd Hebert: A Survey" opens on Sunday, October 28, 2012 and continues through January 20, 2013, showcasing paintings and drawings made over the last thirteen years.
Museum Director Laurel Reuter commented, "This exhibition will be of particular interest to our northern audience because the artist is painting our light, especially in snowy winter. What might be mystical to those who live in other places is simply how things look when the atmosphere is alive with snow crystals, blowing snow, fog growing out of snow, and disappearing snowmen against a field of white."
The North Dakota Museum of Art is located on Centennial Drive in Grand Forks. The Museum hours are weekdays from 9 am – 5 pm and weekends from 1 pm – 5 pm. The Museum Shop is open during these hours. There is no general admission; however, there is a suggested donation of $5 from adults and change from children. In addition, the Museum Café is open for lunch, weekdays from 11 am – 3 pm. Parking is available in front of the Museum in the metered parking lot or a block east of the Museum on Centennial Drive in the Visitors Parking.

Arthur A. Schabinger Contributor
Inducted in 2006
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee 1961
Arthur "Schabie" Schabinger won nearly 80 percent of his games, but his impact on the game went well beyond the court. Schabinger's 20 collegiate seasons included stops at Ottawa (KS) University, Emporia Teachers College, and Creighton. A leading advocate in the development of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Schabinger fought for the 10-second rule to keep opponents from "freezing" the ball. He helped conduct tryouts for the first Olympic team in 1936, and even officiated football, basketball, and baseball games across the Midwest. He served as President of the NABC in 1932 and also served on the NABC Rules Committee and the Amateur Athletic Union Basketball Committee.

The unique and diverse natural landscapes and world-class visitor facilities on BLM-managed lands are among America's greatest treasures, and most of these lands and waters are open for recreational use. Ensuring that the public lands provide exceptional recreational facilities, services, and opportunities requires adequate investment of financial resources to respond to these increases in visitor demand. Recreation fee revenues are a critical source of funding.
Congress recognized the responsibility of visitors to contribute a greater portion of this funding when it first established broad fee authority over forty years ago. Today, recreation fee authority is authorized by the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA; Public Law 108-447) of 2004 . The rationale behind the authority is that those who use specific services and facilities should pay for a larger portion of the costs, rather than require taxpayers who never use the amenities to assume the entire cost.
Standard Amenity Fees Examples/Short Description : Picnic areas, developed trailheads, and destination visitor or interpretation centers. Each standard amenity fee site must contain at least the following six "amenities" -- picnic tables, trash receptacle, toilet facility, parking, interpretive signing, and security services. Expanded Amenity Fees Examples/Short Description : Campgrounds, highly developed boat launches and swimming areas, cabin or lookout rentals. Services like hookups, dump stations, special tours, transportation systems and reservation services. Expanded amenity fees provide direct benefits to individuals or groups from specific or specialized facilities, equipment or services. Special Recreation Permits Examples/Short Description : Certain special areas, such as off-highway vehicle areas, shooting ranges, and specialized trail systems. Authorizations for commercial use, competitive events, group activities, and recreation events. These permits are issued when extra measures are required for natural and cultural resource protection, or to provide for the health and safety of visitors. They may also be used to disperse recreation use or help ensure that the number of visitors does not exceed the capacity of the land. Do I need a pemit?

Report: Nearly 58 percent turnout in Wisconsin recall
Turnout approached presidential levels in a few communities
MILWAUKEE - Final results show nearly 58 percent of voting-age adults turned out for Wisconsin's historic recall election.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that's easily the highest turnout in more than 60 years for a nonpresidential ballot in Wisconsin.
In some parts of the state, turnout was far higher -- and it approached presidential levels in a few communities.
A total of 2,516,065 votes were cast in the June 5 recall. According to the now official tally released Wednesday, Republican Gov. Scott Walker got 53.08 percent -- or 1,335,585 votes -- and Democrat Tom Barrett got 46.28 percent, or 1,164,480 votes.
The Government Accountability Board had predicted that up to 65 percent of eligible voters would go to the polls.

I'll admit, this post is long overdue. It should have been one of the first posts on this blog. But it is here now!
For the purposes of this post, I am assuming several things. The main assumption is that you have utilized all of the records in the place where your Latvian ancestor migrated to – naturalization documents, death certificates, etc. I am also assuming that you are familiar with what different types of records contain – for example, that you know what you can expect to find on a census record versus a passenger ship list. All fonds numbers mentioned for records are from the Central Fonds Register of the Latvian Archives (a "fonds" is a collection of related documents).
So let's begin!
Step 1: Do you know where in Latvia your ancestor was born? If YES, go to step 6. If NO, go to step 2.
Step 2: When did your ancestor emigrate from Latvia? In the POST-WORLD WAR 2 PERIOD, go to step 3. In the INTER-WAR PERIOD, go to step 4. PRIOR TO 1920, go to step 5.
Step 3: Consult DP camp records – you can write to the International Tracing Service (discussed in this blog post) for more information. When you have found a birthplace, move to step 6.
Step 4: If your ancestor emigrated from Latvia in the inter-war period, they could be found on passenger lists, most often departing from German ports such as Hamburg or Bremerhaven, but some people emigrated via the United Kingdom. You can also consult Latvian passport collections for major cities (fond 2996 for Rīga, other cities fond 2258), to see if your ancestor lived in one of them. Passports will list place of birth. Numerous emigration records and passport applications for the interwar period also exist. When you have found a birthplace, move on to step 6.
Step 5: If your ancestor emigrated from Latvia prior to 1920, you can consult passenger ship lists as above for step 4. If they immigrated to Canada, consult the Li-Ra-Ma collection, which documents immigrants from the Russian Empire between 1898 and 1922, including numerous Latvians. The Li-Ra-Ma website mentions that the National Archives in the USA has a similar collection. The Li-Ra-Ma collection website includes digital images of the immigrant files. When you have found your ancestor's birthplace, move on to step 6.
Step 6: When was your ancestor born? After 1921, go to step 7. Between 1909 and 1921, go to step 8. Prior to 1909, go to step 9.
Step 7:
Contact the registry office of the municipality. When you have learned all you can from these records, go to step 8. [Update October 2013: It looks like the Registry Office Archives of the Ministry of Justice is handling all inquiries after 1910, with the exception of the City of Rīga after 1921, which is still handled by the local office. See Step 8 for the Registry Office Archives.]
Step 8: Contact the Registry Office Archives of the Ministry of Justice in Rīga (in Latvian only), who hold BMD (birth, marriage, death) records from 1909/1910 (some records for 1906-1908 will also be held here, depending on the municipality and how their records are bound, see note on step 9). When you have learned all that you can from the records available there, go to step 9.
Step 9: Consult religious records, available online at Raduraksti. These resources will provide basic birth/marriage/death records. The records are organized by year and type of record. Records could be in Latvian, German, Russian or Hebrew (for Jewish records). [Update July 2010: Most records from 1905 to 1909 have been transferred to the Latvian State Historical Archives, who are responsible for Raduraksti. They have not yet been added to the website, but hopefully will be soon. Until they are, you will need to contact the LSHA directly.] If you get stuck, brick walled or want to consult other sources for more information, go to step 10.
Step 10: Religious records (and later civil registration records) will form the backbone of your research, but sometimes the records don't exist anymore, or you want to find additional information about your ancestors that doesn't appear in those kinds of records. In this case, you will want to consult other records that are available – from 1920 to 1945, go to step 11. From 1890 to 1920, go to step 12. Prior to 1890, go to step 13.
Step 11: A wealth of documents from the independence era can be found in the Latvian State Historical Archives. Examples: The 1935 Census (fonds 1308, abstract 12), the 1941 Census (fonds 1308, abstract 15), civil servant employment files (judicial -fonds 1536, police -fonds 5604, I'm sure files for other departments exist as well, but these are the ones I have utilized) and house books (Rīga -fonds 2942, other cities -fonds 2110). For an earlier time period, go to step 12.
Step 12: In this time period, important records available are military records and the All-Russia Census of 1897, however they can be less complete than more recent records. The records for Latvian parishes for the All-Russia Census of 1897 can be found online on Raduraksti. Military records vary in quality and depth of information, I have utilized them only briefly. They appear to be organized in the archives by the specific division of the military. I would recommend searching by the words "pulks" (regiment). Many of these records date from the Latvian wars of independence, but it might be possible to find other types of military records as well. During part of the Russian Empire period, it was mandatory for men to register for military service at the age of 21, and many parishes have their local muster rolls available. For earlier time periods, go to step 13.
Step 13: It is at this point when completeness and variety of records starts to become extremely dependant on individual civil parishes. Some parishes have large numbers of surviving records, while other have few to none. It always pays to consult neighbouring parish records as well, just in case. To find what might be in civil parish records, search for "pagasta valde" (parish council) or "pagasta tiesa" (parish court), and then look for the parish name you want. You can also search by parish name to find what other records could exist. Due to various Latvian noun cases, I would recommend, when searching by parish name, that you leave off the ending (for example, search "Limbaž" instead of "Limbaži"), since the case form can influence what records are found. Another useful source are the "revision lists", which list members of various communities, and could provide more detailed information, depending on the purpose of the list. Revision lists for Latgale are at fonds 1881, Vidzeme at fonds 199, Kurzeme (which includes modern-day Zemgale province) at fonds 630. Some revision lists are available on Raduraksti – at time of writing, these are lists pertaining to the towns of Bauska, Grobiņa, Jaunjelgava, Jēkabpils and Jelgava. [Update: All revision lists appear to be online. Though unfortunately for Latgale, there are very few surviving lists from this time period.]
Unless mentioned otherwise, these records are only available at the Latvian State Historical Archives (LVVA) in Rīga, Latvia. To access the records in the archives reading room, it is necessary to register for a reading room pass. I would recommend doing this by email in advance of your visit. When you request materials, it may take a few days for the material to be located and made available for you, so plan your visit accordingly. The staff are extremely helpful, so do not be afraid to ask for help. However, not all of the staff speak English, but most do speak German and/or Russian. All speak Latvian. Visiting the archives is free, but copies cost money, and the cost can vary depending on shape and age of the documents. When I visited the LVVA in December, I spent about 80 lati ($150, £100) on copies. It was worth it! The copies are also annotated with the fonds number, abstract number and item number.
I hope this helps you formulate your research plan. As always, if you need any help, or have any questions, just ask!
