EHS Q&A: Waste Treatment for Paint Stripping7. September 2012
Q. We will be using concentrated sulfuric acid to strip e-coatings from reject metal parts. The parts will be immersed into the acid solution, and the stripped coating will migrate into that solution. After a day, the acid will be spent because it is full of paint sludge, and we will need to replace it with new acid. Unfortunately, our only outlet for discharge of this waste is to a nearby storm drain, and we know that we will need to remove the paint sludge and color and to neutralize the pH before discharge. Can you advise? T.T.
A. You present a very challenging problem. I will give you my thoughts, and I invite our readers to submit their suggestions as well.
First, I urge you to look into disposing of this waste material as a hazardous waste, either in 55-gal drums or by collecting and storing in a bulk tank and disposing via bulk tanker truck, depending upon the volume. If you decide to store this corrosive hazardous waste in a bulk tank, the tank system needs to comply with U.S. EPA hazardous waste regulations under 40CFR262, Subpart C, and 40CFR265, Subpart J (with a few exceptions), as well as your state's regulations. (Go to epa.gov/waste/inforesources/pubs/training/tanks05.pdf for further guidance.) As you will see below, treating this waste material will be extremely challenging and costly, and highly regulatory.
Because you propose to discharge to a storm drain that is connected to surface water, you will be required to apply and obtain a direct discharge permit (aka NPDES permit) either from your state or from your U.S. EPA region if your state does not have an approved NPDES program.

In between the laughing and cutting up we got serious in the mornings and evenings to try and get eleven year old Chloe from Tennessee her first Texas Hog. We had some pictures on a game camera, stumbled upon some Hog hair on the trail and had a real close encounter on the ground with them Friday evening.
The Hogs were right there, I could even smell them and Becky Lou almost got ate but I was watching her back. Our time ran out before Chloe could bag her first Hog but we made a lot of good memories and hope to try again someday soon. Our gracious host was Travis Priefert, the Grandson of Marvin Priefert who was the founder of the family owned and operated Priefert Manufacturing. You need to check out their web site at www.priefert.com and read, about the family. This hardworking family lives the American dream because they refused to give up even when times were tough they said. I admire each and every one ofthem and respect how humble and honest they all are. Also watch for their new reality-based hunting tv show called "The Prieferts" on the Sportsman Channel. The premiere will air July 3rd 9:30C. This is going to be a must see, I can't wait!
Fear not Christy Turner bagged herself a hog last weekend while hunting and fishing with fellow Prois gal Stacy Sissney and family !

Skechers Walking on Air
"Really into these Skechers Relaxed Fit, just that this particular style has a harder back-lip(?) and it rubs against my upper heal. Will be returning them, but already purchased a different style:Skechers Relaxed Fit Breathe Easy Dimension Slip-On Sneaker"

Like floating on air
"I've been wearing these around in preparation for a trip so they had to be comfy, lightweight and BREATHABLE. They are all of that plus cute to wear.It took me a while to get used to the memory foam inserts and they seem to be ok for everyday wear and support, but you may need to replace the insert for more support if you engage in heavy/extended walking.I found wearing the little slipper socks or no socks works best for me. Keeps it light and airy.The one downside to these shoes is that if you do not wear full covering socks, the size tag will stick to the top of your foot and can be a bit uncomfortable or irritate your skin in that specific square area."

"These are comfortable with or without socks. They are a little wider than average, which makes them look rounder than necessary, but that's a minor aesthetic thing. Good cushioning."

Not for me
"I am sure these shoes are comfortable. But I did not realize that you would not be able to wear socks with them because the way they are cut. Also, they look a little more like shoes you would wear if you worked in a hospital. Not cute comfortable weekend shoes, which is what I was hoping for,"

Worcester claimed their first Premiership win of the season when they beat London Irish 35-11 at Sixways on Friday.
Worcester claimed their first Premiership win of the season when they beat London Irish 35-11 at Sixways on Friday.
Irish took the early initiative, as Ofisa Treviranus dotted down in the corner, and although Steven Shingler missed his conversion attempt, he made amends by slotting home a penalty goal minutes later.
Worcester reduced the deficit halfway into the first period, as Aleki Lutui drove over for Andy Goode to convert. The Exiles' Sailosi Tagicakibau was yellow carded on the half hour, allowing Goode the opportunity to regain the lead for Worcester with his second kick of the game, giving the home side a 10-8 lead.
The Warriors' fly-half stretched the lead again with two more penalties, as Shingler added one of his own, before missing the opportunity to keep up with the home side, as he kicked wide from the half-way line.
Irish indiscipline at the breakdown led to Jamie Gibson's sin-binning on the hour, and with the numerical advantage once more, David Lemi dotted down in the corner after being set up by Chris Pennell, and although Goode's kicking had been impressive all night, his conversion attempt hit the post.
Leading 21-11 going in to the last ten minutes, the Warriors pinned their visitors back inside their own half. That pressure told with three minutes left on the clock, a converted Semisi Taulava try confirming the win, while Jon Clarke earned the try-scoring bonus point, and with Goode adding the extras once more, it made up for a convincing win for the Sixways men.
The scorers:
For Worcester:
Tries: Lutui, Lemi, Taulava, Clarke
Cons: Goode 3
Pen: Goode 3
For London Irish:
Try: Treviranus
Pens: Shingler 2
Worcester: 15 Chris Pennell, 14 Nikki Walker, 13 Alex Grove, 12 Josh Matavesi, 11 David Lemi, 10 Andy Goode, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Matt Kvesic, 7 Sam Betty, 6 Chris Jones, 5 Dean Schofield (c), 4 James Percival, 3 John Andress, 2 Aleki Lutui, 1 Matt Mullan.
Replacements: 16 Ollie Hayes, 17 Ceri Jones, 18 James Currie, 19 Craig Gillies, 20 Semisi Taulava, 21 Ollie Frost, 22 Joe Carlisle, 23 Jon Clarke.
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Marland Yarde, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Steven Shingler, 11 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Tomás O'Leary, 8 Ofisa Treviranus, 7 Jamie Gibson, 6 Declan Danaher (capt), 5 Matt Garvey, 4 Bryn Evans, 3 Halani Aulika, 2 David Paice, 1 Max Lahiff.
Replacements: 16 Shaun Malton, 17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa, 18 Alan Cotter, 19 George Skivington, 20 Alex Gray, 21 Topsy Ojo, 22 Shane Geraghty, 23 Jack Moates.

Do yall think naruto will ever be able 2 master the kyuubi's chakra by the way i found this pic while surfing the net:
Do yall think naruto will ever be able 2 master the kyuubi's chakra by the way i found this pic while surfing the net:
I dont know if this is really a theory, but I think he will eventually learn to control it and use it to his advantage.
fan art.. oh and i moved the thread to the normal naruto manga section as this clearly is not a theory...
i doubt naruto will learn to control the kyuubi chakra for two reasons. first of all after naruto found out that he hurt sakura when he was in 4 tails mode, he's been reluctant to tap into the kyuubi's chakra. second of all the prophecy says that the chosen one would either bring peace to the world or destroy it and naruto is capable of doing both. naruto can bring peace to the world because of his ability to make friends and we've seen this on several occasions. on the other hand naruto can bring destruction to the world because he could just go 9 tails lose control and bring chaos and disaster to the world. so considering the fact that naruto's gonna end up bringing peace to the world he's most probably gonna do it with his own abilities.
if you remember it's pretty dangerous for naruto to have more than 3 kyuubi tails cuz when he was in 4 tails mode the red shield wasn't only chakra but also blood. if he goes more than 4 tails chances are he's gonna die as a result. so i think he's most likely gonna rely on his own abilities instead of learning to control the kyuubi. of course that's what i hope occurs but chances are he'll probably end up learning to control the kyuubi and kishi is gonna come up with some bullshit no jutsu in order to make naruto survive a 4+ kyuubi tail stage.
if u can talk bullshit, then why can't kishi create some bullshit-no-jutsus. Personally I'd rather like that. Naruto will never control kyubbi, all he can do is harness it's power, but never control it and make it do his bidding. Bring on the 8 Tails transformation.
if naruto controls the kyuubi chakra completely,he will become invincible...except against those who can suppress that chakra(cursed uchihas)
Recommendations : GOTH / Kara No Kyoukai
Asian Movies Requests / MPD Psycho
[Nigihana.com] / [Cyber12.com]
Oh Yes...! There Will Be Blood
maybe he doesnt have to control the kyuubi maybe he will learn to mix up both types of chakra and turn into a nasty sinister chakra. It would be cool if its possible. N if any1 says it isnt then remember that is naruto n he summon very large frogs!!
I think that he will learn how to control it. That is probably what Naruto and Jaraiya were doing during the time skip. Obviously he only got to 4 tails and lost his mind but that doesnt mean he'll never be able to control it...its just one of those obstacles he has to overcome. I doubt the 4th sealed the Kyuubi in his son just so Naruto could fuck it up and not be able to control the Kyuubi's power. Im sure the 4th knew that the Kyuubi will try to control naruto and I doubt he would take such a big risk to seal it in Naruto unless he knew his son can control it....or he is just a terrible father.
And Im sure that Jaraiya knew about Minato's plan. Remember the part when Naruto was learning how to walk on water and J-man opened the seal a little bit for Naruto. That is such a big risk! And Naruto is getting that scroll about the seal on Naruto from Jaraiya. So who knows what Jaraiya did to train Naruto to control the Kyuubi. That is probably why it seems like why Naruto didnt learn much when he came back...all he did was learn how to control the Kyuubi.
i thought naruto could only get up to 4 tails because yondy split the yin and yang chakra and suppressed one of them. if naruto was to pass anything tahts 4 tails, that means maybe he'll unleash both yin and yang chakras??if u can talk bullshit, then why can't kishi create some bullshit-no-jutsus. Personally I'd rather like that. Naruto will never control kyubbi, all he can do is harness it's power, but never control it and make it do his bidding. Bring on the 8 Tails transformation.

Mikhail Gorbachev: 30 years after Chernobyl, time to phase out nuclear power
Linda Pentz Gunter
26th April 2016Thirty years after Chernobyl former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev remains haunted by the world's greatest ever industrial catastrophe, writes Linda Pentz Gunter. Now 85 and a committed environmentalist, he's still campaigning to bring the failed nuclear experiment to an end before further disasters follow, and encouraging a clean, efficient and renewable global energy economy. more...
Radiation harm deniers? Pro-nuclear environmentalists and the Chernobyl death toll
Dr Jim Green
7th April 2016Just as climate change deniers leap from scientific uncertainty over the precise impacts of greenhouse gas emissions to certainty of little or no impact at all, so 'pro-nuclear environmentalists' conflate uncertainty of the mortality arising from Chernobyl and other nuclear disasters to certainty of few if any deaths, writes Jim Green. Their position is equally indefensible. more...
Philanthropic colonialism: embedding agribusiness and GMOs into African agriculture
Colin Todhunter
8th April 2016Perhaps all the 'do gooders' busy forcing industrial models of agriculture onto poor but independent African farmers really do think they are helping them, writes Colin Todhunter. But if so they are deeply deluded. All they will achieve is the takeover of export-oriented agribusiness and GMOs, the destruction of agroecological farming systems, and a future of debt and landlessness. more...
India: obesity, malnutrition and the globalisation of bad food
Colin Todhunter
4th April 2016India's food system, essentially clean just a generation ago, has been comprehensively contaminated with sugar, bad fats, synthetic additives, GMOs and pesticides under the country's neoliberal 'great leap forwards', writes Colin Todhunter. The result? a surge in obesity, diabetes and cancer incidence, but no let-up in the under-nutrition of those too poor to join in the over-consumption. more...
Amazon Indians at risk in mercury poisoning crisis
Sarina Kidd / Survival International
5th April 2016Illegal gold mining in the Amazon has a devastating effect on indigenous peoples, writes Sarina Kidd. First the miners bring disease, deforestation and even murder. Then long after they have gone, communities are left to suffer deadly mercury poisoning. Now the UN has been called on to intervene. more...
Going veggie could save slash emissions and prevent 8 million deaths a year
Marco Springmann
31st March 2016Oxford researchers have quantified the benefits of the world becoming vegetarian, writes Marco Springmann.

Chancellor is right to act on sugar. Next, air pollution!
Simon Bullock
17th March 2016The Chancellor's 'sport not sugar' move to tax sugary drinks was extremely welcome, writes Simon Bullock. But we need a similar Treasury approach to protect people from other threats too. So how about tackling the air pollution that's killing tens of thousands of Britons a year? more...
No matter what BBC says: Fukushima disaster is killing people
Chris Busby
14th March 2016The BBC has been excelling itself in its deliberate understatement of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, writes Chris Busby. While calling in pseudo experts to say radiation is all but harmless, it's ignoring the science that shows that the real health impacts of nuclear fallout are around 1,000 times worse than claimed. more...
It's not just cancer! Radiation, genomic instability and heritable genetic damage
Chris Busby
17th March 2016Cancer is just one of of the outcomes of the genetic damage inflicted by nuclear radiation, writes Chris Busby, and perhaps one of the least important. Of far greater long term significance is the broad-scale mutation of the human genome, and those of other species, and the resulting genomic instability that causes cascades of heritable mutations through the generations. more...
WHO / IARC: glyphosate itself is the cancer and genotoxicity problem
11th March 2016With industry spinning that glyphosate is harmful to health, if at all, only with co-formulants like tallowamine, the World Health Organisation's cancer agency IARC has just released a Q&A document (below) stating that 'pure' glyphosate poses similar cancer and genotoxicity risks as its formulations. Banning particular co-formulants, as proposed by some EU countries, does not solve the problem. more...
The flight from Fukushima - and the grim return
Linda Pentz Gunter
11th March 2016Five years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster began to unfold, the searing psychological effects are still being felt among the 160,000 refugees who fled the fallout, writes Linda Pentz Gunter. But now there's growing pressure to return to contaminated areas declared 'safe' in efforts to whitewash the disaster's impacts. Why the rush? To clear the way for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, complete with events in Fukushima City. more...
EU postpones glyphosate decision: a good day for public health!
Aisha Dodwell
8th March 2016It has been an epic battle, writes Aisha Dodwell. Monsanto and other corporations are desperate to get the world's number one herbicide, glyphosate, relicenced in the EU.

Resisting the corporate stranglehold on food and farming - is agroecology enough?
Colin Todhunter
4th March 2016Agroecology is key to retaking control over food, farming and land from the 'monstrous machine' of agribusiness, biotech, big finance and 'free trade', writes Colin Todhunter, as it represents a truly viable alternative to agriculture for corporate profit. But such are the powers ranged against the world's small farmers that it must be supported by a broad-based, global people's movement. more...
Vets - rethink your support for English badger culls!
Mark Jones
4th March 2016The British Veterinary Association has just launched its long-anticipated Animal Welfare Strategy, writes Mark Jones - and very welcome it is too. But it's also completely incompatible with the BVA's support for England's cruel and utterly unscientific badger culls. It's time for an urgent rethink. more...
Organic food is well worth paying for - for your health as well as nature
Peter Melchett / Soil Association
4th March 2016The way food is produced has a profound impact on its nutritional profile, according to research published in the British Journal of Nutrition. Not only is organic farming better for animal welfare, the environment and wildlife, writes Peter Melchett, but organic meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables all have tangible health benefits for the people who eat them. more...
Tall stories: BBC's anti-science support for badger culling
Lesley Docksey
2nd March 2016A programme to be broadcast on BBC2 promoting badger culling as the answer to bovine TB is praised in the corporation's flagship Radio Times, writes Lesley Docksey. But both are criticised by experts for their inaccuracy and bias. The main reservoir for bTB is, and always has been, the cattle themselves - and that's where the real solutions begin. more...
Harnessing the power of evolution in participatory seed breeding
Salvatore Ceccarelli / Independent Science News
29th February 2016Conventional agriculture has made an enemy of evolution as pests and diseases develop resistance to biocides and over-bred hybrids succumb to them, writes Salvatore Ceccarelli. But there is another way - for farmers to participate in breeding seed lines that are continuously adapting to their environment, with ever improving yields, flavour, pest-resistance, and other sought-after qualities. more...
Dirty business: Africa's unregulated lead battery smelting
Desirée García & Javier Marín
3rd March 2016Africa's car battery recycling industry is anything but green, write Desirée García & Javier Marín on African Environment Day. Toxic emissions from the re-smelting of lead from old batteries is poisoning workers and nearby communities. And among the buyers of the lead are EU car companies, apparently indifferent to the death, disease and contamination they are financing. more...
Zika, microcephaly, and pesticides: half-truths, hysteria, and vested interests
Claire Robinson / GMWatch
26th February 2016Those who dare suggest that pesticides might be implicated in Brazil's microcephaly outbreak are being furiously attacked as irrational, nonsense-spouting 'conspiracy theorists', writes Claire Robinson. But the attackers have an uncanny ability to get their own facts in a twist. And among them are writers linked to industries with huge economic interests in the matter. more...
Another 15 years? EU set to relicense glyphosate
Arthur Neslen / Guardian Environment
25th February 2016The European Commission is poised to renew the licence for glyphosate - the herbicide last year deemed 'probably carcinogenic' by the WHO - for another 15 years. The decision follows from EFSA's contrary finding, based on secret, non peer-reviewed, industry-funded studies. more...
Five ways to slash London's lethal air pollution
John Weeks
24th February 2016Today's threats of legal action by ClientEarth against the UK Government highlight the problem of London's poisonous air, which is killing some 10,000 people a year, writes John Weeks.

40,000 air pollution deaths a year, say doctors
Vanessa Amaral-Rogers
23rd January 2016A new report from leading physicians published today reveals the excess mortality caused by UK air pollution, writes Vanessa Amaral-Rogers. The Government has already been found in breach of the EU's Air Quality Directive, but its policies remain weak. Will it finally step up to prevent early deaths from this silent killer? more...
Shoot first, ask no questions later: more badger culling, less science
Lesley Docksey
23rd February 2016With 29 applications for new badger culls, writes Lesley Docksey, the government still has no idea how many badgers there are in the cull areas, or how many of them have TB. Nor does it want to find out. The badger culling project is getting less scientific by the day - or should that be by the square kilometre? more...
Key evidence in EU's risk assessment of glyphosate must not remain 'trade secret'
Corporate Europe Observatory
22nd February 2016The chemical industry and the European Food Safety Authority are refusing to disclose key scientific evidence about glyphosate's risks, citing 'trade secrets' protection, writes Corporate Europe Observatory.

No bliss in this ignorance: the great Fukushima nuclear cover-up
Linda Pentz Gunter
20th February 2016The Japanese were kept in the dark from the start of the Fukushima disaster about high radiation levels and their dangers to health, writes Linda Pentz Gunter. In order to proclaim the Fukushima area 'safe', the Government increased exposure limits to twenty times the international norm. Soon, many Fukushima refugees will be forced to return home to endure damaging levels of radiation. more...

From: Brian: Lakeland, FL 2/6/16
Comments: Here's a new one - I use this on a weighted swimbait hook (Owner Beast 4/0) and slow roll it on the bottom - It's basically a double swimbait with both legs kicking away - been killing largemouth - especially at night!
From: John: Gilbert, AZ 2/26/15
Comments: When there not hittin hollow bodies or really anything. throw one of these and it will do the trick!
From: Keaton: Chattanooga, TN 9/17/14
Comments: Favorite toad bait ive tried. The bull ribbit size casts much better than the smaller ones and it causes more commotion over the pads. Got a 5 Pounder yesterday on it. Best way to rig is with 6/0 owner screw lock hook. Holds up to several fish.
From: Zev: NC 8/31/14
Comments: After 2 hours on the lake I caught 13 bass with them and a 5/0 offset hook and 8 of the bass were over 3lbs and produced bites even during the mid-day sun. great bait and were durable, caught 9 bass off of just 1.
From: Aaron: NC 5/9/14
Comments: Do not hesitate to buy these they are my favorite frog and I just about use them all.

From: Micah: Dawsonville, GA
Comments: Great bait that can double as a buzzbait in heavy cover. Use the hook designed for it and pause before striking when a fish blows up on it.

From: Todd: Valley Forge, PA
Comments: Right now this is my favorite bait to throw. I use a Skinny Bear 4/0 Monster EWG hook and rig it weed less.

Comments: Had a great late day trip out right before the cold weather arrived in force with the Cajin Crawfish pattern. In 90mins, my son and I landed 3 muskie, 2 northerns and 4 largemouth. Were fishing these across matted grass. It was the first time we had used these and they worked GREAT! The weight gave us great casting distance and the durability held up in the heavy grass mat and against the teeth of the muskie/pike-caught multiple fish on a single bait. Will be ordering more in the Spring!!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
It doesn't come any closer than this but yet it feels so far away. One point, one lousy point is all that kept Emery High away from another championship in basketball. The Emery High Lady Spartans lost the championship game to Wasatch 32-31 last Saturday evening at the E Center in West Valley City.
After an opening basket by ShiAnne Allred, Emery went on a 9-2 run to start the game. Junior Abbie Kay owned the inside as she controlled rebound after rebound and put up 7 points in the first quarter. Emery continued to roll in the second quarter and Emery built a lead at the half of 22-16. Everything appeared to be going Emery's way in the first half.
The second half was a different story. All of a sudden, turnovers became a problem. All of a sudden, scoring points became a problem. All of a sudden, getting off shots became a problem. And just like that Wasatch had their first and only lead of the day and it came when it mattered, at the end.
Emery held Wasatch to 8 points in each of the four quarters as the Spartans played great defense all game long. But after scoring 22 points in the first half, Emery could only manage 9 points in the second half of play and that was one point not enough.
Head Coach Steven Gordon after the game, "We had too many turnovers in that second half. We couldn't make a pass; we did not take care of the ball when we needed to. We had open people but for some reason we could not get the ball to them. The girls played their guts out though." The team only had 13 turnovers in the game but most came in the second half of play.
The team did play hard but struggled with remaining loose in this game. Emery shot 58 percent in the first game on Thursday and then shot 51 percent in the semi-final game on Friday. On Saturday, the percentage dropped to 36 percent and that was enough to lose the game.
At the beginning of the season if you would have told Emery that they would be one of the two best teams in the state everyone might have said yippee. But when it gets to the end and you are one of the best two, you really want to be the best one and win it all. The team thought that they would rather lose by 20 than to lose like this, it might be easier to accept.
Abbie had 16 points in the game and pulled down nine rebounds, had two steals and a blocked shot as she sent notice that she will be a force to be reckoned with as a senior next season. Jodi Robertson scored seven points, had three rebounds and a steal and harassed Kim Parker, Wasatch's best player and a signee at BYU for next season, defensively and held her to 13 points. Allred scored four points and Frankie Komar and Taylor Mann each scored two points.
Emery opened the tournament with a relatively easy 63-52 win over Morgan on Thursday evening. Although Emery led 48-28 after three periods, they felt they had to permit Morgan to score the first seven points of the final period and nine of the first 11 to make it interesting. Emery took the lead at 3-0 for the first lead of the game and then took the lead at 9-8 and never let go of it.
Four Spartans finished the game in double figures for scoring. Jessica Murray had three 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 14 points, four rebounds and two assists. ShiAnne Allred scored 13 points with nine of those coming in the third quarter, had 11 rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot. Abbie also scored 13 points with nine of those coming in the first quarter. Frankie scored 12 points, had two rebounds, four assists, two steals and a blocked shot. Taylor Mann came off the bench with seven points and seven rebounds. Jodi scored four points and had two steals.
In the semi-finals, Emery faced the favored Judge Memorial team, took the lead at 6-5 and never gave it back as the Spartans won 47-39. Jodi Robertson scored six points in the first quarter and Emery led 10-5. Jodi would lead the team in scoring with 15 points and also had four rebounds. Abbie had 14 points, had five rebounds, four steals, two blocks and an assist. ShiAnne scored five points, pulled down eight rebounds, had four steals and an assist. Frankie also scored five points and had two rebounds and two assists. Taylor Mann scored four points and Jessica scored three points.
Emery finished the season 19-5, won region 8 and finished second in state.
Not a bad season but oh so close to being a perfect season. Congratulations Lady Spartans, we are proud of you.

Big But Beautiful
"This bag is rather large and I debated whether or not I would buy it. Well, I did purchase it and have not regretted it one bit. I have received compliments from both women and men. Love the Ostrich look and it is very versatile. I would suggest having identification, credit/debit cards and money in a wallet or small clutch so that it is easy to locate. Other than that.I LOVE THIS BAG!"

It's Certainly Big
"This bag is bigger (wider and deeper) than I expected for a purse, in comparison to the one I saw in the store. I was surprised at the outer material. I wasn't expecting a faux leather glossy look; I had to read DSW's description of the purse. It looks like patent leather which I love on shoes, but never really paid attention to it as a purse. Orange is my favorite color, I feel the orange purse would look better less shiny, but I love the interior paisley fabric. As I write this, and in thinking about "patent leather", I have a new appeal for the bag, as I was considering an exchange or return. For some reason I like the Big Buddah name and styles, have wanted one, this J Santorini Ostrich Tote is more than I expected in size, but I like big purses. I saw a snake skin Big Buddah bag in a dept. store. Will DSW get that one? I guess I'll have to check periodically."

GDB 76: Time for war
March 29 2009 01:32PM
Today is already a good day. The Oilers play the Wild, we are going to be in attendance and we get to write the GDB without any editorial overlords messing with our junk.
Normally when we post an article it follows a tortured route onto the interwebs. First we write it. Then we go back and read it and dismiss 99% of what we wrote. Then we go and get a snack. Then we spend 2 hours surfing for just the right picture. Then we send it to bingofuel who edits the crap out of it, fixing spelling and grammatical errors and generally making us appear literate. When our baby finally finds its way online it looks nothing like what it did when it was born.
But not today. Bingofuel is in Vancouver, Willis is in Ft. St. John, Brownlee and Gregor are off in fantasy media land where all the buffets are free. That just leaves your ol' pal Wanye, a computer and direct access to posting the GDB.
Let's get to it shall we?
The Minnesota Wild
First of all it pains us to no end that the Wild run the Oilers show to the degree that they do. Though the seasonal series sits at 3-2 this season it always seems that the Oil are strangely intimidated by the Wild who pose no threat sitting in 11th in the conference. Our stupid neighbours to the South run the Wild's show - up 5-0 in the seasonal series including a 3-2 win last night where they outshot the Wild 40-15. What sort of magical spell do the Wild hold over the Oil? It makes absolutely no sense.
The Wild are like that girl we all know that isn't particularly stunning but once upon a time rejected your advances at the bar at last call. Now she has the upper hand on you and you both know who is in charge and Brother - it ain't you. Every time you see her out in public now it's clear the balance of power has tipped in her favor and as she repeatedly emotionally slaps your ego in the face you can't help but find her more and more intimidating.
Perhaps she looks like this:
Sooner or later Mighty Oil, you need to decide what is going to happen this year. St. Louis is coming on like a team possessed and yet you are still amazingly sitting in 8th place with 7 games remaining in the season. Anaheim is also in the mix and if you let the Wild back into it tonight, it will be a 5 team battle for 2 places in the post season. For heavens sakes do us all a favor and finish the year strong.
Look at this log jam in the West. It's amazing!
Bank some friggin points Oilers! Great googly-moogly! Pretend you care just a l'il bit - if not for our collective sanity then to collect those coveted playoff bonuses that await you.
The lines
See? We can provide this kind of information too Nation. Tonight's lines are as follows:
83-10-21 18-13-34 27-19-89 46-51-22
You're welcome.
MacT on the verge
Here is a quick fact for you. Craig MacTavish is only one win away from his 300th career NHL victory. This is an impressive fact. It would be more impressive if he had passed this milestone about a season and a half ago as it would mean the Oilers would have been a dramatically better team during his reign. Still, beggars can't be choosers and if you have a dictator for life you might as well celebrate his milestones with him. Right Citizens of Cuba?
See you at RX1
After a weekend of being cooped up at friggin work and not being able to have any fun whatsoever you had best believe we are going to the game tonight. And you had also best believe that we are going to have a few beersies in the process. After all what better use for $5,000 than spending it on 4 beers at the game? Hit us up on the twitter if you are there. Perhaps a free RX1 beer will find its way into your stomach if you do.
Do NOT disappoint us tonight Oilers. Consider this a dire warning.
I sent two messages to the scoreboard tonight...one asked Wanye to bring the beers to section 206, and the other saying that he was my hero. I didn't get a beer or the opportunity to meet Mr. Gretz. Very disappointing.
I should have sent a Twitter message, but I was thinking that a scoreboard text was was cooler.
Next time, next time.

I hope the changes go further: our best player is a 39-year-old goaile. Does that seem like a good thing to anyone?
I think the problem is we haven't gone far enough. It's time to resign Gretz, Messier... hell, even Curt Brackenbury. Get Slats behind the bench again. Come to think of it, with the retro 3rd uniform, Slats could be player-coach too.
There would be so much Oilers tradition on the ice, we COULD NOT FAIL.
I hope that picture above "It's War Time" is not that of Wanye gretz. It is risky to open your website to that page and have people walk by and giving you a second look.
MacT, "if you take the pebble from my hand, it is time for you to leave..." (TV show Kungfu re-actment). MacT's coaching system is not working for the team. With so many offensive minded players, we score very few goals and our supposedly defensive shut down system have let in alot of goals ranking in the bottom 1/4 of the NHL. If it was not for Roli, it could be far worst. If it wasn't for the 3 goalie system gong show it could so much better. Last night, Roli looked tired. We sure could use a backup with experience like Garon. It is clearly time for a change for next year. We need a coach that can guide these young offensive and talanted team into the playoffs and not just battling for eighth spot each year. Clearly, the players have tuned out MacT. I wonder if in some strange way he will lambaste Schremp down on the farm for this year's failure.
I suspect Mac't's penchant for throwing offensive players under the bus and making them his whipping boys in the media hasn't been the brilliant coaching strategy he thought it was going to be.
Just off hand I wonder if his selective process of public criticism of Nilsson and Penner has had a dampeninig affect on the other so-called offensive dynamos in the Oiler dressing room. Hence a loss of credibility for MacT with the players.
My guess is the alleged dividing line in the Oiler room is along the lines of MacT's favorites and everyone else. Not exactly a recipe for success is it? Meanwhile, whatever the situation we go another year with no playoffs. When will this end.?

If you are one of the 8,000 political and non-career appointees of the Obama administration, there is good news and not-so-good news. The good news is the big boss got reelected and was sworn in this week for a second term. So it's official, four more years.
The bad news…
You may not be around this time next year. Or even next month!
There is certainly no guarantee that the Cabinet officer (or White House liaison) who appointed you will stay around for another four years. Many have already announced their departure, which means you may soon follow.
White House prepping government reorg executive order
White House prepping government reorg executive order
For career civil servants, the beginning and end of an administration or a second term can present certain problems. New bosses, new ideas, new priorities. The tendency during the second term to establish the President's place in history can be noble or a nightmare scenario.
There are also some things that career employees can do to ensure they outlive and outlast their temporary political bosses. While career civil servants have job security, they are not immune to being side-tracked or driven out (or driven nuts) by their political bosses for a variety of reasons.
For the politicals, current and future, the news is that you made it. Your talent, loyalty, hard work (and connections) got you into the political and policy-making ranks of the government. For some of you it will mean bigger and better things ahead when you return to academia or the private sector.
The bad news, if you like your job and appreciate your pay grade, is that your days are numbered.
Defense, for example, has the largest number of non-career appointees, political and schedule C appointees and others — from drivers to policymakers — who serve at the pleasure of the secretary and/or White House. Since Leon Panetta will be leaving, that means so will lots of high-ranking DoD appointees. The same is true for the Interior Department, whose new secretary is likely to be a veteran of the department from the Clinton years who currently has a top political job with an independent agency.
The typical political appointee lasts an average of about 18 months. That means some get the chop (or quit) much earlier, like the sub-cabinet guy who wanted a military heraldic unit to design him a personalized flag he could fly in his office. Others serve out full terms (of four to eight years) assuming the big boss gets reelected and your secretary wants to (and is allowed to) stay on.
Some must be approved by the Senate. Others (assuming they can pass the clearance process) can be hired without fanfare. In past administrations, the White House sometimes strongly "suggested" that certain people be hired, even though the Cabinet officer and his/her staff didn't know, like or trust them. The presumption was that the appointee was reporting back to the White House as to what was actually going on in the department or agency.
So what do the next few weeks, and the next four years, hold for you? Listen to our Your Turn radio show today at 10 a.m.
Carol Bonosaro, president of the Senior Executive Association, will talk about how transitions work and how they impact both political appointees and career civil servants.
Later, Sean Reilly and Steve Losey with the Federal Times join me to talk reforms to the Combined Federal Campaign, labor-management forums and what the second term means for both career feds and political appointees.

My mother has always said, all you need to find a good man is to keep a clean house and be a good cook. Hey, it worked for her.
While I hate cleaning, I can say I love to cook.
Here is a recipe to help start your romance with cooking!
A romantic dinner date at home:
Chicken Cordon Bleu for two:
Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.
I hope you enjoy the tasty recipes , and wish you the best on your journey in romance, both in life and in the kitchen.

Thirty-six years after film director Roman Polanski raped her, Samantha Geimer insists that both of them have been treated unfairly
In the photo on the cover of her forthcoming memoir, there is a picture of Samantha Geimer as a girl of 13. A gold heart dangles from a chain on her neck. She has the round cheeks of a child and a distant look in her eyes. She is, as she says herself, "very pleasant but unexceptional-looking".
Roman Polanski took the portrait in 1977. The director – then 44 years old and the toast of Hollywood – had told Geimer's mother that he had a commission from Vogue Paris to find young American girls for a magazine feature. Just minutes after the
