Casper Field Office
|Release Date: 07/22/13
BLM Casper Releases EA for Samson Scott Field Development Project
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Casper Field Office announces the availability of an Environmental Assessment (EA) on a proposed oil and gas development program in the existing Scott Field.
Samson Resources Company (SRC) is proposing to explore and potentially develop oil and natural gas resources in an area of approximately 44,619 acres in Converse County, 20 miles north of the town of Douglas, Wyo. The proposal includes the drilling of about 150 new oil and gas wells using horizontal and vertical drilling techniques. The proposed drilling will occur on 40 new well pads with two to six wells to be drilled from each pad.
The target zones for the proposal include the Dakota, Frontier, Mowry, Muddy, Niobrara, Shannon, and Sussex formations. The proposal would also include, but are not limited to, the installation of the equipment to facilitate mineral production should wells be commercially productive.
The EA has been prepared to analyze the impacts of the proposed project. The EA is available for public review and comment by visiting the BLM website at www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/info/NEPA/documents/cfo.html.
The public comment period runs from July 22 through August 20, 2013. Comments should be addressed to Assistant Field Manager Minerals and Lands, BLM Casper Field Office, 2987 Prospector Drive, Casper, WY, 82609. Comments may also be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com; please include "Samson Scott Field EA" in the subject line.
For more information, please contact BLM Natural Resource Specialist Shane Gray at (307) 261-7648.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Jirairya was the one who taught naruto how to control the power of the kyuubi
Zetta Recommends: Naruto, Claymore, Death note, Elfen Lied, Berserk, Monster, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach,
Gameboy: "Its better to fight with honor than be silent and shit bricks"
First at all I have never been said that Sasuke was stronger than Naruto in four tails or in five tails. Orochimaru just said that you can't beat sasuke like this ( in the right translation). We have seen Bijuu losing against Akatsuki member and tha means doest that mean that the members of akatsuki are stronger than a bijuu itself?, short answer is not. A bijuu might have an bestial or demonic strenght and an amazing source of chakra, but a bijuu is a beast after all and they are not good at planning. Naruto went became a four tailed yokou and he lost control of himself. Basically he adpoted the personality of the Kyubi while he was a four tails youku. What we have seen so far from Akatsuki is mind over power. They use X strategy for each bijuu or jinkurichi and defeats them. They might have a strategy for Naruto too.
Now to anwser your question. If Naruto goes in five tails at the moment, it would be harder for Yamato to supress kyubi Chakra and recover Naruto. Yamato said that his Abilities are not equal to shodaime's abilities, so four tails youku form might be the represenation of the limit of kyubi's chakra that he can supress. Probably Kohona would have to decide between killing naruto or waiting till he calm himself.
Zetta Recommends: Naruto, Claymore, Death note, Elfen Lied, Berserk, Monster, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach,
Gameboy: "Its better to fight with honor than be silent and shit bricks"
alterno has given the best answer ever and deidara pritty much says the same thing when he talks about the sanbii being weaker than a jinchuriki because it lacks the intelegence to use power proply.
just because oro says naruto cannot win doesnt meen he would lose either it would just be a stalemate until naruto masters fourtails and has controle over all that power.
p.s shortening his life is no where neer saying he will die it just meens he loseses some time doing it.
hmm i wonder what obitos doing right now.... decomposing and smelling up the joint i gess coz hes dead!!

Different suture materials produce varying degrees of tissue reaction, specifically inflammation. Significant inflammation will reduce the resistance to infection and delay the onset of wound healing. The type of material and size of the suture are thought to be the major factors contributing to this reaction. Natural materials are absorbed by proteolysis, which causes a prominent inflammatory response. Synthetic materials are absorbed by hydrolysis, which produces a minimal reaction.
Multifilamentous sutures have a high degree of capillarity so there is a tendency to absorb and retain both fluid and bacteria. These materials are associated with greater reactivity and may promote infection if bacterial contamination occurs during or shortly after surgery. Tissue reactivity is also affected by the surgical trauma to tissues, so care should be taken in handling the tissues. The amount of suture placed in a wound, particularly with respect to the knot volume, affects inflammation. The suture size contributes more to knot volume than the number of throws. The volume of square knots is less than that of sliding knots, and knots of monofilament sutures are smaller than those of multifilament sutures.
Allergic reactions to suture materials are rare and have been specifically associated with chromic gut. However, Johnson and Johnson mention known triclosan allergy as a contraindication for use of certain sutures (see below). Contact allergy to triclosan is uncommon.
Surgical gut suture (Plain and Chromic) is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to collagen or chromium, as gut is a collagen based material, and chromic gut is treated with chromic salt solutions.
MONOCRYL Plus Antibacterial suture should not be used in patients with known allergic reactions to Irgacare MP(triclosan).
PDS Plus Antibacterial suture should not be used in patients with known allergic reactions to Irgacare MP (triclosan).
VICRYL*suture should not be used in patients with known allergic reactions to Irgacare MP (triclosan).

Art Lovers Gravitate to Rogers Park Galleries
Rogers Park was the place to be Saturday night with killer back to back openings taking place within blocks of one another. The weather couldn't have been better and both shows had robust turn outs. Unioned Labors at the aptly named Bike Room featured not one but three different collaborative projects from duos. Small and whimsical, this show packed a big punch. Alberto Aguilar & Alex Bradley Cohen filled the space's hallway with a mural pieced together with delightfully bold and colorful paintings on cardboard and complimented by a playful soundtrack. Inside the gallery itself a video of Aguliar's & Cohen workin' it out in the Bike Room's backyard that shared a similar soundtrack. Amanda Ross-Ho and her father, Ruyell, used one of his playful abstractions that reads "Less is Not More" to adorn one of Ross-Ho's signature oversized t-shirts. The most somber offering, Frank Piyatec & Judith Geitchman's rhythmic black and white text and abstractions were arranged into a giant checkerboard.
Rhoades Scholar, curated by New Capital's Chelsea Culp and Ben Foch at Iceburg Projects, was similarly sparse yet arresting featuring one piece each from young guns Murat Adash, Naama Arad, Marie Alice BrandNer-Wolfszahn, and Oren Pinhassi. Adash also staged a performance where sightseers focused attention on various objects and people in the Iceberg space during the opening. Particularly mind blowing were Arad's and Pinhassi's work. Pinhassi's backpack looked like it was dipped in papier-mâché and wrapped in a chalk-covered blackboard. The mutant backpack was placed open and empty on the floor revealing that crappy red nylon that's suppose to be water proof but never really keeps anything safe. Despite all this there was definitely something magnetic about this unassuming backpack combining school daze nostalgia with the sculptural sensibility of Rachel Harrison and Kate Ruggeri. Naama's sumptuous oil pastel drawing also pulled on our heartstrings by pairing a technique learned in grade school with stunning use of color and line. This rug inspired work was not your grandma's tapestry.
Definitely recommend going to the ends of the Red Line to check out these shows. Also recommended: beef patties from the Caribbean American Bakery on the way.
Iceberg Projects open by appointment.
The Bike Room open by appointment.

Introductionmummy, dead human or animal body preserved by embalming or by unusual natural conditions. As a rule mummies are from ancient times. The word is of Arabic derivation and refers primarily to the burials found in Egypt, where the practice of mummification was perfected over the centuries to an extreme of elaboration.
Investigations of mummified remains have grown increasingly sophisticated with advances in dating techniques and forensic science. Mummies provide clues to everyday life through such items as clothing, tools, and tattoos. Stomach contents may reveal data on subsistence and the local ecology. Trace-element analysis of hair can reveal exposure to toxic elements (e.g., mercury and lead). Causes of death and active or inactive disease processes can often be ascertained and sometimes point to murder or ritual sacrifice. Mummies can yield blood and DNA samples providing valuable medical and genetic information.

Adelaide The Newest Destination For âThe Loungeâ: Virgin Blue Gets Down To Business In South Australia15/08/2006
Virgin Blue has ramped up its corporate push into Adelaide with the opening today of The Lounge in the Virgin Blue terminal at Adelaide Airport.
It signals a new era for Guests travelling to and from Adelaide and reflects Virgin Blue's increasing focus on Adelaide's corporate community.
The airline recently upgraded its lounge offering in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to provide Guests with an all-inclusive, sophisticated and business friendly facility.
Adelaide is the fourth Virgin Blue destination to have The Lounge which will offer Guests complimentary food and beverages, free wireless internet access, a Business Zone as well as a Relax zone.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "The decision to open our newest The Lounge in Adelaide was based on a number of factors, including the growing number of corporate accounts we have gained in Adelaide, the enormous support the airline has received from the Adelaide community since our launch and the fact there is a modern new terminal that merits a modern Virgin Blue lounge."
He continued, "Virgin Blue started off as a primarily niche airline operating out of a marquee on the side of the runway at Adelaide International airport. We have come far in our evolution as a New World Carrier with a mandate to meet the needs of all who fly on us".
"The introduction of The Lounge will offer significant benefits for our South Australian travellers, many whom are existing members of The Lounge."
In the past 12 months, the number of South Australian based corporate clients has increased significantly following the launch of initiatives such as the Velocity loyalty program and web-check, business friendly frequencies on key business routes (Nine per day on Adelaide-Melbourne and five directly daily flights between Adelaide and Sydney) and Virgin Blue's ongoing old fashioned friendly customer service.
The opening of The Lounge in Adelaide will give all existing members more "bang for their buck" by providing a fourth facility for them to relax or work in during their domestic travels.
Casual or Annual memberships are available, making The Lounge accessible to everyone. Annual membership to The Lounge will be $349 per year (including GST) plus a one off joining fee of $199 (including GST). When members fly, they are also able to invite a Guest to join them in The Lounge, at no additional charge. A single visit pass will be available to any Virgin Blue traveller, subject to comfortable capacity constraints, for $30 (including GST).
Brett Godfrey added, "We are strongly committed to the Adelaide market and today's opening of our newest The Lounge demonstrates we are serious about Adelaide, we are serious about business and we are serious about being the preferred airline of choice for the people of South Australia."

Top Paw® Dog Pads
- Up to 75% more absorbent*
- Adhesive strips holds pad in place
- Puppy attractant
- 5 layer protection for ultimate protection
- Made exclusively for PetSmart
Our Training Pads have a built-in odor control specifically designed to neutralize tough urine odors. Made with advanced technology that converts liquid into gel and locks in moisture. A puppy attractant accelerates housetraining time by encouraging instinctive marking behavior for the quickest results. This carefully blended attractant uses a mixture of synthetic marking pheromones and attractant scents that encourage puppies to eliminate on the pad.
Training Pads are a convenient and easy way to train your puppy. They help simplify the house training process. They feature plastic backing and sealed edges to protect your floors. Training Pads are ideal for indoor dogs, puppies or sick dogs that can't be walked during the day. Also great if you have to leave your dog alone forlong periods of time.
Usage Tips:
Housebreaking your new puppy can seem like a chore. Training pads make a tough job easier with a carefully blended attractant to encourage your puppy to eliminate on the pad and not your carpets. For the first few weeks, when you cannot watch your puppy, confine him to an area with easy to clean floors such as tile, lament or wood. Place the pad on the floor as far away from his food/water and sleeping area as possible. He will quickly learn to pee on the pad, thanks to the special attractant. If your puppy is still having accidents, watch him closely and place him on the pad as soon as he starts to potty. Timing is crucial. If you miss, you must wait for your next opportunity because you cannot teach him to go on the pad after the fact. With a little time and a lot of patience, your puppy will be using the pads in no time!

How to Plug a Small Hole in NetBeans JSF (Join Table) Code Generation
By MarkHeckler-Oracle on Apr 11, 2012
I was asked recently to provide an assist with designing and building a small-but-vital application that had at its heart some basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, & Delete) functionality, built upon an Oracle database, to be accessible from various locations. Working from the stated requirements, I fleshed out the basic application and database designs and, once validated, set out to complete the first iteration for review.
Using SQL Developer, I created the requisite tables, indices, and sequences for our first run. One of the tables was a many-to-many join table with three fields: one a primary key for that table, the other two being primary keys for the other tables, represented as foreign keys in the join table. Here is a simplified example of the trio of tables:
Once the database was in decent shape, I fired up NetBeans to let it have first shot at the code. NetBeans does a great job of generating a mountain of essential code, saving developers what must be millions of hours of effort each year by building a basic foundation with a few clicks and keystrokes. Lest you think it (or any tool) can do everything for you, however, occasionally something tosses a paper clip into the delicate machinery and makes you open things up to fix them. Join tables apparently qualify. :-)
In the case above, the entity class generated for the join table (New Entity Classes from Database) included an embedded object consisting solely of the two foreign key fields as attributes, in addition to an object referencing each one of the "component" tables. The Create page generated (New JSF Pages from Entity Classes) worked well to a point, but when trying to save, we were greeted with an error: Transaction aborted. Hmm.
A quick debugger session later and I'd identified the issue: when trying to persist the new join-table object, the embedded "foreign-keys-only" object still had null values for its two (required value) attributes...even though the embedded table objects had populated key attributes. Here's the simple fix:
In the join-table controller class, find the public String create() method. It will look something like this:
try {
return prepareCreate();
} catch (Exception e) {
JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(e, ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Bundle").getString("PersistenceErrorOccured"));
return null;
To restore balance to the force, modify the create() method as follows (changes in red):
public String create() {
// Add the next two lines to resolve:
return prepareCreate();
} catch (Exception e) {
JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(e, ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Bundle").getString("PersistenceErrorOccured"));
return null;
I'll be refactoring this code shortly, but for now, it works. Iteration one is complete and being reviewed, and we've met the milestone. Here's to happy endings (and customers)!
All the best,

History & Purpose
Established in 1983, the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT — colloquially known as KSJ@MIT — seeks to nurture and enhance the skills of a select breed of journalist: Those who toil at the complex and often fractious intersection of science and public life. The centerpiece of this effort is our 9-month fellowship program, which brings together a small group of elite journalists from across the globe for two semesters of study, intellectual growth and exploration at MIT, Harvard, and other institutions in Cambridge and greater Boston. The program is now considered to be among the most distinguished journalism fellowships in the world, and KSJ@MIT has evolved to include a variety of grants, publications, and other resources aimed at fostering vigorous, accurate and independent coverage of the sciences.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Congressman Jason Chaffetz visited Emery County for a town hall meeting. Chaffetz is not Emery County's representative to Congress, but he was in the area to meet people and answer questions about recent actions in Congress.
People were interested in whether or not Chaffetz was going to run for the Senate. He said that decision has not been made yet although he is considering it and he and his wife will make that decision in the near future.
Chaffetz said when he ran for Congress he refused to go into debt. His staff members were all volunteers. He said he did not have a lot of resources to back him up but he was successful in his bid for Congress. He has been critical of Republicans who he thinks blew it during the Bush administration and when they were in control in the House. "It's an honor to serve in Congress. It's a mess, but we are making headway. There are three major challenges facing our country and they aren't easy to solve," said Chaffetz.
The deficit is a major challenge. Dramatic changes are needed. Chaffetz said it's really hard to comprehend the amount of debt the United States has. If you spent a million dollars a day it would take 1,000 years to get to a trillion. "We are spending money we don't have. The debt has an effect on everyone and their quality of life. We are paying $600 million a day in interest. Twenty-five cents of every dollar is spent by the feds. That's 24-25 percent. It should be around 18 percent. In order to balance the budget we have to pay off the deficit," said Chaffetz.
The second biggest challenge is not having an energy plan. "We have not had an energy plan since Jimmy Carter. I remember gas lines. We have to solve this problem. The Department of Energy has failed. Our economy should not be based on what's going on in those middle eastern countries. We need to do solar responsibly. Our energy policy should not make winners and losers," said Chaffetz.
Chaffetz said the next threat is from terrorists. We need to find solutions and protect our liberties without losing our freedoms. "It's a challenge we need to be more secure, yet less invasive," he said.
Chaffetz said terrorism is very real. Chaffetz said the challenges America faces can be solved. That's one of the reasons he ran for Congress was to help find solutions to the tough problems facing America today. It's a challenge, but one that must be faced and solved.
Chaffetz said the Antiquity Act has been misused and should be repealed. Federal land that serves no purpose should be returned to the states. He showed a map of the United States and the West is filled with federal lands with very little private and state land. There are 75,000 federal buildings which aren't being used which should be sold. It's a small start, but small steps can be taken to reduce government spending.
Emery County Public Lands Director Ray Petersen told Chaffetz of the Emery County Land Use bill which has been prepared to send to Congress. The bill has moved to the state legislature to await their approval before it will move onto Congress. Petersen asked Chaffetz if he would support the bill. Chaffetz said he would be willing to move the bill after it receives state approval. Chaffetz believes a county by county process is the best way to make public lands policy decisions.
Audience members expressed concern over some roads in Carbon County which are being closed without going through the proper procedure. Chaffetz encouraged them to talk to Rep. Jim Matheson as he represents this part of the state.
Emery County Economic Development Director Mike McCandless said one issue that seems to hold projects up including the proposed nuclear power plant near Green River is the Fish and Wildlife Service. The surveys and expectations they have in place cause the cost of projects to go out of control.
Rep. Chaffetz said he agreed that radical environmentalists are blockading our country. The environmentalists have learned the court system so well and they drag fights out decades in the courts and hold up worthy projects. Chaffetz said the environmentalists held up the Legacy Highway project for years at a very high price.
McCandless said the environmentalists are very good at bringing in other agencies to complicate projects.
Another movement afoot is to redefine water. Any puddle would be federal water. Rules and over-regulation are making it difficult to do business in America which is why hundreds of businesses have moved overseas. There are too many regulations making doing business here unprofitable. Chaffetz agreed that too many manufacturing jobs have moved overseas. Businesses are also scared to expand due to regulations.
Chaffetz answered questions from the audience. One question dealt with the debt ceiling debates. Chaffetz said he believes progress is being made as the debt ceiling has been raised time after time without question and this year the issue was debated strenuously. Chaffetz said he is a lead sponsor of cut, cap and balance. Chaffetz said it amazed him how Pres. Obama said he was going to veto cut, cap and balance and he hadn't even seen the bill. Chaffetz said he has always had an issue with earmarks and now earmarks are becoming less prevalent. Sometimes it only takes one person saying it's wrong. "We won that battle," said Chaffetz.
One audience member said everyone has to balance their budgets, so why not the government too. Chaffetz said tax reform is in order, the United States needs a broader base, tax rates should be lowered. Taxes should be on consumption and not productivity.
It's been 831 days without a budget. The United States needs a balanced budget. Forty-two cents of every $1 the United States spends is borrowed. Chaffetz believes all obligations for social security should be met. The President wants to tax more, but Chaffetz said that won't help. The government needs to be more streamlined. Corporations are willing to pay taxes if they know what those taxes are going to be.
Chaffetz said legal immigration needs to be fixed before illegal immigration can be fixed. He said in some cases it takes 22 years to process the forms for someone legally trying to go through the system to become a citizen. Forty-four percent of the people who come here legally like it here and don't want to leave so they become fugitive illegals in our country.
"Just because you are born here, doesn't make you a United States Citizen and I believe English should be the official language of the United States. We have talked of challenges, but the United States is still the greatest nation in the world, but we are one generation away from losing it. We have to fight for it. I am proud to represent Utah. I find it so satisfying. I believe America is exceptional. I hope to be part of the solution. I need help and support and your ideas. I thank those who have served our country," said Chaffetz.

Canada to host VI Pan-American Men's Volleyball Cup
New dates: June 13-18
OTTAWA – The NORCECA (NORth America, CEntral America & CAribbean) Volleyball Confederation confirmed earlier this week that Gatineau, Que., will host the 2011 VI Pan-American Men's Volleyball Cup scheduled for June 7-12. All matches will take place at the Robert-Guertin Arena.
The tournament traditionally attracts several world superpowers including Brazil, the reigning world champions, Cuba and the United States. Canada, 19th at the worlds last September, placed fifth at last year's Pan Am Cup.
''This will be the first time in several years that the Ottawa-Gatineau region will host a men's senior international volleyball tournament so we are pretty excited about it,'' said Vincent Pichette, the national team assistant coach. Head coach Glenn Hoag is currently overseas coaching in Europe.
''The Pan Am Cup is traditionally the first big tournament of the season with our full national team and this year it is particularly important because we have a big year ahead with Olympic qualification starting later this fall.''
The tournament is a qualifying event for the FIVB League for 2012 – last year Puerto Rico advanced from the Pan Am Cup tournament to eventually qualify to this years World League competition.
The Pan Am Cup will also be a preview of the men's volleyball tournament at the Pan American Games set for Guadalajara, Mexico in October 2011. The Pan Am Games are not an Olympic qualifying event as is the case in some other team sports. Canada's primary Olympic qualifying event is the men's NORCECA Zone qualification tournament in January 2012.
Most of Canada's national team players are currently playing professionally overseas and will start rejoining the current training group at the national team centre in Gatineau this spring.Entries for the Pan Am Cup be finalized over the next several weeks.

"So, what have you done for me lately?" (signed) Your Uncle Sam.
Talk is cheap, there is an abundant supply on the FreedomConnector.com and other internet sites. But, as Uncle Sam in asking, "What have you actually done for me lately?" How many civic meeting have you attended, how many newspaper opinion pieces have you written or letters to the editor, how many organizations have you attended and opined, have you been to a Tea Party meeting, or started one in your area?
All of us are eloquent enough as our writings here attest, so why are we not "Out There" taking chances in this battle? Examine your fears and then ask yourself, OK, so I am afraid to do this or that. What am I going to do about it, go lay down with my blankie and suck my thumb?
This battle (for freedom) cannot be won and will not be won without our taking some necessary risks, and some occasional hits, so that some Victories can be won. If we do not win this battle there may well be bloodshed in the streets. Some liberals are already calling for it.
Remember that Union leader in Wisconsin saying, "Perhaps it is time for us to get bloody." The Occupy Movement was supposed to get violent, but it fizzled. If they are willing to get bloody, shouldn't we be willing to suffer some ridicule, a little verbal attack here and there?
I have said for many years that Americans conservatives and Christians have become cowards, afraid someone might call them names, throw an egg or tomato at them or scream in their face. If you were a Christian in China, the Middle East, and many other parts of the world, your Christianity could get you killed. They take risks just walking down the street.
Every person is required to lead at some point in their lives. Leading is lonely and has some risk. But either we decide to do something significant with the time we have left or to continue to chase trivial pursuits? Choose you this day whether to do something significant for the cause of freedom or to wimp out.
Freedom starts with every one of us picking up our share of the burden so that someone else won't have to carry your freedom burden for you.
Leadership is learned. Join a leadership training program or find a mentor to advise and coach you. But act now, Today is the day it starts. Today is the day to put away procrastination. Find two or three people who are willing to take action for freedom and go fight for freedom starting today.
Talk is cheap, but action speaks loudly. Take action today for the cause of freedom.

sweet look! really like your blog!! do drop by mine. wanna follow thru GFC if u like will follow back:))
I have a worldwide perfume giveaway planned in a weeks time..so make sure to drop by and dont miss it!
I actually love this look. I had a co-worker comment on a shirt I paired with leggings. His opinion was I appeared to be going to the club.
Fashion Fail.
Love the shout-out to the leaf. Leggings are super cute. :) Can't get enough of the bird scarf, can ya? ~xoxo~
love this outfit
Love those leggings and your infinity scarf. Cool!
Love this look! It's simple and edgy... and... OMG! I know!!! Leggings are not pants! They are not, they are not, they are not! Ok, peace! - Carla
I so agree with you about the leggings thing!! cute outfit!
Let's take out a billboard please!! You look fab & the leaf did a great job, too :)
Thanks for your condolences on my pup - means a lot!
Ha! Isn't that the truth?!? I can't stand when girls wear leggings like they're pants! Even on the skinniest of chics, it's just not all that flattering. lol
You look amazing, girl!! I love the sheen on those leggings. The all black looks smokin' on you!
Those leather leggings are so damn fabulous. You look like a rock star! Love your scarf too :)
Super cute look! And you are soooo right.... leggings do not equal pants, and no one wants to see your behind in public!
Cute outfit!
Wow lovely post! Beautiful! ♥♥♥
Linda from www.moonon.com
That scarf is so cute :)
I'm in college, and this is the outfit of nearly EVERY college girl. I hate it. Even if you are skinny and can pull it off... you shouldn't. Leggings are acceptable when worn under a dress/skirt, no other time.
I love this outfit though! Leather leggings are daring! Do they get sweaty? (Even though it's Pittsburgh in Feb[although it's been oddly warm lately!])
I agree 100% Cover the bum, Leggings are not pants :-)
You look lovely! Back is my Fav color too!
Fantastic outfit. Love black on black.
You and the leaf both rocked this photo shoot.
And THANK YOU, leggings are NOT pants. I actually yelled that at a woman in front of my job the other day. It wasn't my proudest moment, but I was pushed to my breaking point.
Those leggings are so awesome! And I love your scarf!
See Me Rwar
cute cute cute! i've seen the leather leggings really turn into a disaster but you did them justice! love it.
I'd buy one of those t-shirts. I'm all for wearing what you want, when you want, but leggings are an alternative to tights, not trousers! You might as well wear jeans as a hat. They are not interchangeable items of clothing!
I really like this outfit and I adore those knee high boots; am still looking for the perfect one for me, no such luck yet :(

Skip to comments.EPA rules Ariz. power plants must upgrade
Posted on 11/18/2012 7:47:15 PM PST by lowbridge
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency met a deadline Thursday on a plan to control emissions from three Arizona power plants that it contends have impaired visibility at places like the Grand Canyon.
The Associated Press reports that the EPA had proposed approving Arizona's air-quality plan to reduce sulfur dioxide and soot at the Apache coal-fired plant in Cochise, along with the Cholla and Coronado plants. But when it came to nitrogen oxide emissions, the EPA suggested the state's plan didn't go far enough and came up with one of its own.
The conflict highlights the tension between the EPA and businesses after an election season in which the notion of heavy-handed environmental regulations became a popular argument for Republican candidates. Arizona and the administration of Republican Gov. Jan Brewer contend the EPA's proposals would cost hundreds of millionsof dollars, causing utility rates to sharply increase for residents.
Instead of low nitrogen-oxide burners, the EPA hinted it might require that some of plants' older units be equipped with selective catalytic reduction technology to keep 17,000 tons nitrogen oxide from being released into the air and causing visibility issues at 18 national parks and wilderness areas.
(Excerpt) Read more at bensonnews-sun.com ...
Power plants will soon need to be protected by armed guards with machine guns.
The feds going after Arizona...who'd have thought. Paging EH...
Wonder if this is part of the revenge Jarrett said was coming after Obama was elected.
I think the head of the EPA has been sniffing nitrogen oxide
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It may as well be Arizona.
It may as well be now.
When the power plant owners shrug and pull a Hostess, the rates will really go down!
I hope the governor tells them to pound sand. The EPA needs to be reined in.
Expensive energy = prosperity for the big-government/big-corporate criminal complex.
Is the science being claimed, even valid? How do they know the plants are making the haze?
This is BS. An engineer who works with the plant up in Page said the source of coal used there is the cleanest burning in the country.
Like I said is the science even any better than that of globull warming? Supposing they DID put all that expensive junk on their smoke stacks, would it stop any of the haze they're complaining about?
A fourth plant is also on the list - on Navahoe land.
1.1 billion to 'fix' (reduce by 40%)the emissions. Lease for the land the plant sits on runs out in 2019. Owners are talking of pulling the plug - sux to live in Arizona right now.
the haze is blowing in from China
The EPA seems to be an economic terrorist organization.
no kidding? all the way to Arizona? without even stopping in California first?
no just Obsessed With Control
There is no haze. I was at the Four Corners area and the Grand Canyon last month. In all the years I've visited, I've never seen "haze" there. This is absolute BS!
That part of the country probably has the cleanest air anywhere. You normally can see 60 miles. At one overlook, I could see a mountain that was about 120 miles away.
In the end the same, remember the brouhaha about crucifying their enemies?
you can shut down everything ,but China and India will keep pumping 100 times more
purple haze... is in the epa's brain
somehow things just don't seem the same
acting strange, and i don't know why
The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station power plant located in Tonopah, Arizona,is about 45 miles west of central Phoenix. It is the largest nuclear generation facility in the United States, averaging over 3.3 gigawatts (GW) of electrical power production in 2008. Arizona should use all of this power for Arizona only! Let California build their own power plants. Palo Verde could pick up some of the lost power caused by the federal restrictions!
I could be wrong, but aren't these coal fired electric generating plants burning coal from open pit coal mines on Indian land. Some years back the Indians let in the coal miners in order to increase tribal revenue. The lease payments and extraction payments have become very important to the tribe as payments trickle down to every member on the tribal lands and even some away in cities. They don't have the casino deals as there are few population centers near the tribal lands as the Vegas crowd (Harry Reid's paymasters) have fought Indian casinos.
What happens to these Indians when the EPA essentially shuts down the electric plants and the mines lose their biggest and almost only customer? Will Great Leader Obama take care of his red/brown brothers?
I drifted into an altered state of Orwellian bliss and strangely, the numbers 1984 appeared as if in a vision, floating in front of my eyes!.
Try it, it's really cool!
Here's Section 1 of Article I:
All (emphasis added) legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
In other words, the only reason that I can figure that cititizens and businesses reluctantly ask the EPA, "how high," when the EPA dictates, "Jump!," is because citizens are not being taught constitutional limits on federal government powers in the nation's schools.
Also, what's even worse than Congress unconstitutionally delegating regulatory powers to constitutonally undefined federal agencies like the EPA is this imo. The states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution the specific power to regulate environmental issues, the 10th Amendment clarifying in general that the Constituton's silence about such things means that such issues are automatically uniquely state power issues. So not only is Congress wrongly delegating legislative powers to rogue federal agencies, but Congress is delegating powers which the states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution.
Finally, it wouldn't surprise me if Congress's unconstitutonal delegation of federal regulatory powers to agencies like the EPA is nothing more than smoke-and-mirrors way for corrupt Congress to bypass its Article V requirement to petition the states for specific new powers via constitutional amendments.
What a mess! :^(
She's certainly blowing up like a balloon. So either sniffing or eating way too much sugar. Uh oh, moochelle isn't gonna be happy about that.
EPA is messing with the state again.
Your posting capsules the situation. The AGs of many States should jointly file suit in Federal Courts (to elevate to SCOTUS) to abolish such regulatory agencies like the EPA.
Next, I bet obama is going to close the Grand Canyon since the numerous visitors are spoiling the natural environment.
A lot of people live in the Grand Canyon, we have to hold down the pollution there for their safety.
I wouldn't upgrade, I'd just shut them down. Welcome to the third world.
Alternately, I'd tell the USEPA to go pound sand, arm up, and challenge them to MAKE me upgrade.
If the EPA sends inspectors, put them in jail
Has anyone from the east coast been out to the west lately? What pollution, you inner-city-hazed morons? You can see for miles and miles on ANY day. This EPA stuff is utter bullcr*p. It is like when I was a kid and some self-promoting french clod named Jacques Cousteau taught us from his documentaries that the oceans are filled with plastic and assorted pollutants. They aren't.
If Obama can't get us, the EPA will! Isn't that stuff in the canyon blowing in from CA?
Figures....face it, we're in the crosshairs. *sigh*
Isn't sad?
Isn't it sad?
The EPA is shutting down power plants all over the place. I believe they have target not less than 200.
Is it time yet?
I hope if they are forced to shut down it causes power shortages and brownouts / blackouts in California.
You are spot on. The American economic system is built on cheap energy and low regulation. Obama is working diligently to kill all that.
It's been said before to a Pharaoh of old, but I'll say it again,

This looks like a can of spam turned upside down slapped on the table and grew arms and legs. Like it a lot keep up the awesome work. :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
... for something made in thirty minutes, while listening to something else :D The only reason why I don't give it a 10 Is the lack of texture : this one looks more like "Super RubberBoy" :p
But I guess that's your drawing style :D

The Father of the Video Game: The Ralph Baer Prototypes and Electronic Games
By the 1960s, millions of Americans had invested in televisions for their homes, and it soon became clear that this technology could be used for more that passively watching television shows. In 1966, while working for Sanders Associates Inc., engineer Ralph Baer began to investigate how to play games on a television. Between 1967 and 1969, he and colleagues Bill Harrison and Bill Rusch created several video game test units. This result was the "Brown Box," a prototype for the first multiplayer, multiprogram video game system. Sanders licensed the system to Magnavox. In 1972, Magnavox released the design as the Magnavox Odyssey, paving the way for all video game systems that followed.
Ralph Baer donated his video game test units, production models, notes, and schematics to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in 2006. His papers are kept in the Museum's Archives Center. In 2014, the Museum collected his workshop to become the landmark object for its Innovation Wing.

The Brown Box Golf Game Accessory, 1968
- Description
- This strange-looking contraption was actually used to play an early video game.
- To play the golf game on the "Brown Box," a prototype for the first multiplayer, multiprogram video game system, Baer and his colleagues mounted a golf ball on a joystick handle. This allowed the player to use a real golf club to practice his or her putting skills. Magnavox licensed the "Brown Box" and released the system as the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972. Though it was never produced commercially, the golf accessory was covered with brown wood-grain, self-adhesive vinyl so that it would match the "Brown Box."

- 1 cup quinoa -
- 1 1⁄2 cups water -
- 1 small red onion, half minced and half sliced -
- 1 pomegranate, seeded -
- 2 oranges, segmented and membranes removed -
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped -
- 1⁄2 tsp schug*, or to taste -
- Dressing
- 2 Tbsp lime juice -
- 1 Tbsp sugar -
- 3 Tbsp oil -
1. Prepare the dressing by combining all of the dressing ingredients together in a cruet or jar. Mix well and set it aside.
2. To remove the bitter coating on the quinoa, rinse it very well in a colander. Let it drain until dry, or dry it on a towel.
3. Toast the quinoa in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until it is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the water and bring it to a simmer; reduce the heat to low, cover and con- tinue to simmer until the quinoa has absorbed most of the water and is nearly tender, about 12 minutes. Spread the quinoa out in a rimmed baking sheet and set it aside until it is tender and cool, about 20 minutes.
4. Transfer the cooled quinoa to a large bowl and stir in the remaining salad ingredients.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad. Garnish with additional parsley, pome- granate seeds and orange segments, as desired.
* Schug is a hot pepper paste found in the re- frigerated section of most kosher supermarkets. Start with a small amount and add more if you'd like a little extra heat. If you can't find schug, use a minced jalapeno pepper instead.

|In response to Re: Toilet repair...
: My toilet was leaking every time it was flushed. The tank would overflow. I turned the water off and we haven't used it in weeks. Right after the water overflowed onto the floor and I turned the water off, THE WATER WILL NOT GO BACK ON....THE TANK IS DRY...IT CANNOT BE USED.... Why would the water not come back on after being turned off? The line is on the left side of the toilet, of course, but it will not produce water for the tank.... help!!!!! (and thank you)
Anne Marie,
For repairing the ballcock you will need to know the brand and model of the toilet numbers can be found in the back of the tank or on the lid. You can email me those numbers and I can tell you exactly what you will need to fix it.
Good luck,

GDB 75: Robert Frost's hockey wisdom lives on
Jason Gregor
March 27 2009 01:43PM
A few weeks ago my neighbour strolled up to my door toting a bottle of Bacardi Limon -- best drink going if you mix with water -- so I let her in. We yapped for a bit, poured a few Limons, but the Oilers game came on so I pretty much gave her the proverbial nod every few seconds suggesting I was listening to her. She must have caught on that I wouldn't be engaging in any conversation until a commercial or intermission, so she sat at my computer and checked her e-mail.
I thought it was harmless enough, until the next morning when I open my Outlook and I have some email from Audri and Jim Landford. I'm like WTF, why isn't my spam detector working? But, of course I had to see who it was from...
Maybe Carney Lansford, one of the greatest third basemen ever, died and left me something in his will. I wasn't a baseball enthusiast growing up, but he was one my favourite ball players.
I never played ball -- hated it in fact. I tried it once when I was seven and they put me in the outfield. After six innings of swatting mosquitoes, looking like Les Nessman from WKRP in Cincinnati and getting no balls hit to me, I announced to my dad that I would not be coming back. At that age, there is no more boring sport than baseball.
Anyways, Lansford rocked and he had a great 'stache too. And he had a cameo as Kit "hit or Die" Kesey in the 1994 remake of Angels in the Outfield.
** Yes it was a Disney movie, but I'll watch any sports movie, and don't say you didn't believe in the possibility of angels when the kids started flapping their arms in the final game. Admit it, you believed a bit.***
Well Audri and Jim aren't Carney's parents; rather, they are some inspirational speakers or something, and my neighbour felt it was necessary that I receive these quotes. Every day now I get an inspirational quote from some famous person that is supposed to brighten my day. Yesterday it was:
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." -- Mark Twain
Thanks Mark, I'll try that one.
Today this is what I got -- brace yourselves Oiler fans:
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -- Robert Frost
Frost is a famous American poet, in case you didn't know. And I can tell you that without those inspirational words I might not have realized that in fact I would still be breathing today. Thanks, Tips.
Oh bla dee, oh bla da
Life does indeed go on, but after watching that debacle last night, you wonder if the Oilers will go on to the playoffs. And if they, many of us will have a big part of our lives put on hold until next October.
While life goes on, it sure sucks going on in a city void of playoffs. Everyone is happier when the Oilers are in the playoffs. Hell, even Brownlee's scowl softens as young lasses who can't name two players on the team drive around the city flashing passing motorists. (True story in the run of 2006, the JAG mobile got flashed every day by random girls after the Oil beat the Sharks in round two. Some days it pays to have your show name plastered on the Kia.)
It's been two springs of nothing since, and after yesterday's incredibly bad effort against the lowly Phoenix freakin' Coyotes, I'm worried we'll experience another flashless spring.
It was game 74 last night, and you would think that by now the PP could at least string together three consecutive passes. Or how about this novel idea: if the first unit can't do anything, then start the second unit on the PP. Do you not want some healthy competition amongst the units?
Where was the desire? The urgency? Don't give me this garbage about Phoenix being loose, so it's easier for them to play. They aren't that good. Colorado is supposed to be loose and they keep getting blown out by five or six goals a night.
The Oilers better wake up tonight. The Ducks have won five straight, and six of their last seven. They've won two in OT and two in the SO.
In their last two home games they are a ridiculous seven for ten on the PP. They are rotating their goalies, yet they still win. The Ducks are playing aggressive, in-your-face-yet-disciplined hockey right now. They look like a team that wants to be in the playoffs.
We'll find out tonight if the Oilers truly want to be in the playoffs.
- Show up early.
- Compete.
- Hit.
- Shoot the damn puck.
- Crash the crease.
- Play Stortini.
I know he isn't a game breaker, but at least Stortini gives you some energy and spark, and he'll stand up to Anaheim, something very few forwards on this team seem willing to do.
As the great American Poet Robert Frost said about life: it goes on.
Well Mr. Frost, in Edmonton life sure sucks if it goes on without some NHL playoffs. And it sucks even worse if you drink pansy American beer while doing it. Here's to some good old fashion Pilsner, Molson Canadian, OV, Labatt Blue, Black Label, Grasshopper or any other Canadian Beer that tickles your fancy.
Tonight we drink real beer, (Or Bacardi Limon with Water) and we get set for some playoffs!
** Game day update:
- Stortini and JF Jacques are in.
- Nilsson and Reddox are out.
This is a smart move by MacT, and we'll see more energy in tonight's game because of these moves.
March 27 2009, 08:43PM

England Saxons destroyed the USA 87-8 in their opening match of the Churchill Cup at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
England Saxons destroyed the USA 87-8 in their opening match of the Churchill Cup at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
A hat-trick from winger Miles Benjamin, as well as a brace from full-back Mike Brown, helped the Saxons put 13 tries plus a penalty try past the hapless Eagles.
The home pack's dominance was underpinned by an eye-catching display from Matt Stevens who was making his first appearance in England colours since serving a two-year ban for drug use.
Rory Clegg contributed with a 22-point haul from the kicking tee.
Surprisingly, it was the Americans who took the lead, with Tai Enosa landing an early penalty, but it was one-way traffic from there as Stuart Lancaster's outfit laid down an early marker in the defence of their Churchill Cup crown.
A surge from captain Jordan Crane created the chance for Benjamin to cross for his first try and Brown took advantage of sloppy American play to take England clear.
Brown kicked through for Benjamin to sprint on and touch down for his second five-pointer, and Micky Young pounced soon afterwards to inflict more pain on former Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan's team.
The penalty try moved Saxons 33-3 ahead, and the tries continued to flow after the interval, Brown adding another in the early stages of the second half and Tom Johnson dashing over in fine style before Billy Twelvetrees added his name to the scoresheet.
Henry Trinder and Charlie Sharples kept the score ticking over before Kitchener scored one and set up another for Hodgson who cantered over under the posts.
The most scant of consolations arrived late on for the United States as Scott Lavalla powered over from close range.
The scorers:
For England Saxons:
Tries: Benjamin 3, Brown 2, Young, Penalty try, Johnson, Twelvetrees, Trinder, Sharples, Kitchener, Hodgson
Cons: Clegg 11
For USA:
Tries: Lavalla
Pens: Enosa
England Saxons: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Topsy Ojo, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Billy Twelvetrees , 11 Miles Benjamin, 10 Rory Clegg, 9 Micky Young, 8 Jordan Crane (c), 7 Tom Johnson, 6 James Gaskell, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Mouritz Botha, 3 Matt Stevens, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 David Paice, 17 Kieran Brookes, 18 Graham Kitchener, 19 Jamie Gibson, 20 Paul Hodgson, 21 Alex Goode, 22 Charlie Sharples.
USA: 15 Mike Palefau, 14 Mile Pulu, 13 Tai Enosa, 12 Junior Sifa, 11 Colin Hawley, 10 Troy Hall, 9 Mike Petri (capt), 8 JJ Gagiano, 7 Danny LaPrevotte, 6 Pat Danahy, 5 Scott LaValla, 4 John van der Giessen, 3 Will Johnson, 2 Phil Thiel, 1 Eric Fry.
Replacements: 16 Chris Biller, 17 Shawn Pittman, 18 Louis Stanfill, 19 Inaki Basauri, 20 Tim Usasz, 21 Roland Suniula, 22 Andrew Suniula.
Venue: Franklin's Gardens
Referee: Nigel Owens (Wales)
Canada got their Churchill Cup campaign off to a winning start on Saturday with a 26-12 win over Italy "A" at Franklin's Gardens.
The Canadians ran in three tries past their opponents with the Italians unable to score one of their own, giving credit to the winners runners-up finish in last year's tournament.
Number eight Aaron Carpenter, prop Jason Marshall and full-back James Pritchard all went over the white-wash in a 12-minute blitz just after half-time.
Pritchard also bagged eight points with the boot, while fly-half Ander Munro slotted a first-half drop goal.
However, Valerio Bernabo's yellow card early into the second half reduced the Azzuri to 14 men and gave the Canucks the upper hand, the Canadians duly took advantage, racing out into a 16-9 lead.
Man-of-the-match Chauncey O'Toole, who set up the try for Pritchard, said: "That was great win for us – we are really pleased with that. It was a great effort at the end to keep them out."
