Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

Comments: Guys this is by far the best Stand up head out there. I have won several tournaments on this head in particular, never even fished another and don't intend to. I've lost fish on it but that's with any hook, has nothing to do with the head. The bait keeper is one of the best features IMO. It's fast and when winning tournaments speed counts! Give these a try and you won't be disappointed! Great job guys!
From: Jeremy: Durham, NC 4/1/15
Comments: Great shakey heads, I only use worms with the elza tech plastics like the zman or strike king finesse worms stand up reguardless if the jig falls down!
From: Shaun: Staunton, VA
Comments: This is probably the worst shaky head on the market. It's hard to keep it standing for long,(let alone trying to shake it). Also the keeper, not only is it a task to keep the worm on, its super long so you only get a small amount of gap. I'm probably going to use Missile Baits' Warlock shaky head, which has a better design and still has the Gammy hook. God bless.
From: Elijah: Mystic, CT
Comments: Best shakey head out there dont loose any fish if ya know how to set the hook
From: Zack: Marietta, GA
Comments: This is by far the best shaky head I have used thus far. I started with the Yum Pumpkin Ed jig and while I still like that jig this one tops it by far. I caught a 5.89lb Smallmouth fishing one of these. I haven't had an issue with hook-ups at all.
From: Felix: Albany, NY
Comments: I agree with Mark. I stopped by TW last sunday and picked some of these up. I got plenty of hits but a low hook-up percentage. And every bite I had, was a lost worm. The keeper is a poor design , it needs the spring type keeper and a wider hook gap.
From: Greg: Atascadero, CA
Comments: Used this shakey head exclusively all spring and summer. Had a good hookup rate, but lost too many fish. The bait keeper is junk. After about 12 fish it starts to break off. For being on the expensive side for shakey heads, I would expect better quality. I love the way it works the baits in the water, but I would lose too many fish with it. Big Bite Baits makes a similar one that is cheaper and the hookup rate is alot better for me.
From: Mark: MO
Comments: agree with Scott. These are the best shaky heads out there
From: Cody: ME

If you recently had a baby (or are getting ready to) you may have noticed another test being performed on your newborn before they leave the hospital. Earlier this year the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsed the routine use of pulse oximetry to enhance detection of critical congenital heart disease.
Critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) are serious structural heart defects that are often associated with decreased oxygen levels in infants in the newborn period. These heart defects account for about 17-31% of all congenital heart disease (or about 4,800 babies born each year in the U.S.) While some of these defects are found on pre-natal ultrasounds, and some may be evident immediately after birth when the pediatrician hears a murmur or the baby has difference in their pulses, others may not present until a baby is several hours - days of age.
Using pulse oximetry to measure a baby's oxygen levels before they are discharged is just another method of screening a child, and if there are abnormalities a baby would undergo further evaluation with an echocardiogram and would see a pediatric cardiologist.
Pulse oximetry is routinely used in all aspects of medicine these days and requires a simple non-invasive device that is placed on a babies finger or toe to measure the level of oxygen in the blood. (looks a little like ET device to light up a finger). It works by comparing the differences in red light, which is absorbed by oxygenated blood, and infrared light, which is absorbed by deoxygenated blood.
In a large study just published in the journal Lancet (looking at over 230,000 newborns), simple pulse oximetry detected 76% of congenital heart defects, with only a rate of 0.14% false positive results. The risk of false positives was even lower than that when pulse ox was performed when the baby was over 24 hours of age. Pretty impressive!
It has been estimated that about 280 infants with unrecognized CCHD are discharged from newborn nurseries each year. Congenital heart disease also accounts for somewhere between 3-7 % of infant deaths. With early intervention and surgery the chance of survival from CCHD is greatly improved.
So, ask your pediatrician or obstetrician if they are doing routine pulse oximetry in your hospital nursery.
That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

On Perceptions and the Swoon
Kent Wilson
February 07 2009 11:00AM
Both the Ducks and the Flames will be desperate for a win today: the Flames, because a 4 game losing streak would remind them of the late season swoons they experienced under both Keenan and Playfair, while the Ducks are currently enmeshed in the cluster-f that is the Western Conference play-off bubble.
The last three games have not been good ones for Calgary. Their stars have been outscored and the depth guys were quiet. The goaltending has been average - aside from the Dallas loss - and the power play has looked punchless. Different defenseman took their turn looking ineffectual as well - from rookie Adam Pardy to "Norris candidate" Dion Phaneuf to the usually unflappable Robyn Regehr. Yup, the pain hasn't been localized during the recent spate of ineptitude...it's been a total body ache.
Should the losing streak continue today, it'll be interesting to see what it does to Sutter's perceptions of the team and it's needs going forward. About a week ago (I believe), he was quoted saying something to effect of "there's nothing on the market that interests me. We have better players in the minors than what's being offered." While that may be true - I have no idea what is currently on the market - that comment strikes me as arrogance born out of the Flames noteworthy run. Especially since the Flames have very little on the farm outside of Jamie Lundmark, Kyle Greentree and *wretch* Anders Eriksson.
Losing has a way of revealing flaws that were previously hidden. A few more notches in the "L" column and Im guessing the on-going struggles of Jarome Iginla or the obvious lack of another legitimate top 4 defenseman will suddenly come into stark focus for the fanbase and management alike: meaning Darryl wont just be looking for another useless veteran back-up come the end of the month.

Honoring Harvey :: Dustin Lance Black remembers 'Milk'
As we approach Harvey Milk Day in California on May 22, I can't help but think about the wonderful film "Milk" which won Dustin Lance Black a most-deserved Oscar. And to take it a step further, I can't help but think about Black himself, and the significance that his film and his subsequent activism has had on the gay rights movement across this country.
With a special screening of the film at the Castro Theatre on Tuesday with Black making an appearance (along with activist Cleve Jones), it gave me the privilege of visiting (Dustin) Lance for an extended conversation about his hope and promise for equality for gays in the future, his dedication to put his words into action through his activism and film projects, and to discuss where an Oscar winner on his first-time out as a screenwriter goes from here.
One place is the back to the movies - this time in a different capacity: as writer/director. Black recently finished "Virginia," and the film is set for a nationwide release shortly.
Below is an excerpt from a longer interview that will appear in our digital magazine in June.
A little baby
BeBe: Thinking back, it's been like 3.5 years since we interviewed last.
Dustin Lance Black: I know! It was when I was a little baby.
BeBe: You were a baby, and you had that other little baby, 'Milk,' just popping out there. If I'm not mistaken it was right after the first weekend of the 'Milk' release that we last spoke. We were talking about the box office numbers and everything. You were right on with your information. It was so amazing!
Dustin Lance Black: Yeah, I paid attention to everything back then. I read everything. It was like sending a baby off to school for the first time.
BeBe: So much has happened with you since then. I remember back then, even early on with the 'Milk' film, there was the buzz in the air about the significance the film would have (being released two weeks before the vote on Proposition 8 in California), as well as, the significance it would have for many of those involved with the project.
All which proved to be true particularly with you (winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay) and Sean Penn (winning the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor). I remember throwing a few questions to you back then about the possibility of winning an Academy Award, and I think then it was too much for you to think about with it being so early in the game. So, I'm going to start this interview by throwing those questions back at you now that over three years have past.
Dustin Lance Black: Oh what, that I told you so? (both laugh)
BeBe: Well, yes, because actually I did!
Dustin Lance Black: I'm game! You were right. Hey, I like it when you're right!
A fairytale experience
BeBe: Listen, it is big for a young screenwriter to come out of the shoot and throw a major film like 'Milk' out there and walk away with an Oscar. And, we all know there are many people out there with great bodies of work that never get one of those. And you've gotten one your first time out. So, how does it feel to have that Oscar in your trophy case? I've spoken to other Oscar winners and they have sometimes said it is a burden as much as it is an accolade. So what are your thoughts on that?
Dustin Lance Black: Well, ah, I'm ruined from here on out with every film (tongue in cheek). Nothing will ever live up to the experience of 'Milk'. It was a fairytale! And, it had an ending that none of us involved in the film saw coming. I remember you asked me about it 3.5 years ago, you asked me " ....is an Oscar a possibility?"
I thought you were crazy! But, the 'Milk' experience was a fairytale experience from beginning to end. I essentially was making this film with three other Oscar winners, my producers Bruce (Cohen) and Dan (Jinks) (1999 Best Picture Oscar winners for 'American Beauty'), and Sean Penn (2003 Best Actor Oscar winner for 'Mystic River'), and I think at given moments along the journey they said to me 'this isn't the normal experience. Appreciate every moment of it. Soak it in.'
And, I did. But, you know, I guess the only burden is that you want to keep doing work that means something to you. That's the only reason that film worked in that it meant so much to all of us involved, and we all put our blood, sweat, and tears into it. Everyone agreed to a massive pay cut to do it, if we got paid at all in the end. It challenges you to keep doing things that mean something to you, and to do projects that mean that much to you. That's the only burden. It (the Oscar) sat at my mom's house in Virginia for a few years because there is an expectation that comes along with it, and I didn't want it to guide every decision that I made. But now I have it. He's home!
'8' the play
BeBe: You and I spend our lives, and work lives, in these socially liberal metropolises, and it is hard to fathom that there are other gay people out there in small town America that don't even enjoy the same "equal rights" that we do. They are not on par with the local victories that we have achieved...
Dustin Lance Black: Right. If you live in New York or California, you have protection for employment and housing (as a gay person). You have in some States equal rights of marriage. But in most of the States in this country, you can still lose your job and your home for being gay. So, you better not come out and be who you are or you might lose your job.
That's in most of the States in this country. That's why I've been working my tail off these past three years to fulfill that promise (I made) by helping found AFER, and file the case against Prop 8, raising money for that. And certainly until we have full equality, I'm on the Board of the Trevor Project as well so I make sure there is a safety net to catch the kids that don't have that feeling of pride felt yet.
BeBe: Now, you recently produced the stage play '8' which is a re-enactment of the Perry vs. Schwarzenegger trial leading to the overturning of Prop 8, eventhough due to appeals, we still do not reap the benefits of that victory. So, we know how the trial ended, however, you still felt the need to produce this play using the actual transcripts from the trial and interviews of individuals involved knowing the outcome. Why was it important to produce this play?
Dustin Lance Black: Well, here's what happened. The trial was the first time we have been able to call our opponent into court and have them raise their right hand and testify under oath all the hateful, bigoted lies that they have been telling for generations. They had to come to court and do it, and guess what happened? They wouldn't show up! They know it is lies.
And the one person who did show up, ended up turning on the stand and saying being gay parents make better parents because of the scrutiny they go through to be able to adopt children or have children, and that the day we have gay marriage in this country we will be more American. That was their (the opponent) person. They turned on the stand because they don't want to perjure themselves in court. They can't lie up there. There is a penalty for it unlike when we have a Ballot Proposition; they can say whatever they want. It was so miraculous to see light shine in on this debate, and the fact other side was smart enough to make sure it was not televised to make sure cameras were not allowed. They fought it all he way to the Supreme Court, and won.
So, this victory was hidden, the reasons why we won were hidden from the world. The reason we aren't enjoying this victory is because it (this case) is on its way up to the Supreme Court. When this case, or a case like this, goes to the Supreme Court, that case will affect marriage in all 50 States. And I want people to know what those Supreme Court Justices are listening to, what they are judging. The whole country deserves the right to know the evidence that was presented. That has been withheld. So, I wrote the play since there is no access to video using the exact words because I didn't want the other side to say I somehow manipulated it. I think it's an incredibly accurate, moving, and funny account of what happened in that courtroom. And it's time to tell the truth. I hope people continue to watch it now that it (the play) is on YouTube. (www.8Play.com)

Watch Dustin Lance Black's acceptance speech in 2009 for the film "Milk":
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

USDA/DOJ Workshop on Competition Issues – Important Step in the Right Direction
Today over 600 people packed the FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny, Iowa to participate in the first ever USDA/DOJ workshop on competition issues in agriculture.
With FFA purple jackets helping direct the attendees (and selling boxed lunches), the hall was full nearly an hour before U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary, Tom Vilsack and U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder began speaking to lead off the day.
The diverse audience included farmers and ranchers, union members, academics, representatives of both small and large businesses, lawmakers and federal officials, all eager to begin the series of 5 workshops that will be held over the next several months.
Many in the crowd expressed the opinion that this type of collaboration between USDA and DOJ was long overdue, and their appreciation that the Obama Administration was clearly taking their concerns about the market for agricultural products so seriously.
Once the program began, it became clear that AG Holder and Secretary Vilsack were not prejudging the results of these workshops, but were here to listen and engage in a discussion that would inform the efforts of both Departments over the coming months and years.
To underscore this point, Vilsack announced at the start of the second panel that public comments would be taken over the lunch hour to ensure that everyone had a chance to offer their comments. It is clear that the issues are complex, but there was agreement that having today's discussion was a critically important step in the right direction.

Winnipeg and Alberta are also the only schools to win at least four consecutive crowns, the Wesmen capturing six titles in a row from 1983 to 1988 and the Pandas matching the feat from 1995 to 2000.
Of course, with the Pandas also battling for CIS supremacy this weekend, they hope to beat the T-Birds to the finish line and be the first to hoist the coveted trophy for the eighth time come Sunday.
UBC and Alberta find themselves on the same side of the draw and could clash on Saturday in the semifinal round.
The T-Birds and Pandas – along with Trinity Western - also hope to resume the Canada West domination of CIS women's volleyball this week. Teams currently competing in the CWUAA (including schools from the now defunct Great Plains conference) have won 30 of the last 34 national titles.
Laval (2006), Sherbrooke (2005, 2003) and Dalhousie (1982) are the only Eastern squads to have triumphed since 1977.
"We were thrilled to emerge as Canada West champions this season," says UBC head coach Doug Reimer, who has been named CIS coach of the year a record five times. "The semifinal win was obviously important because it provided the assurance of qualification but I think that the tough final was very good for our team. Our February schedule included two bye weekends and we needed the tough matches heading into the CIS championship."
"Our players are excited to return to the Nationals as we have had such an amazing run the past few years, but they are far from complacent and know that each match will bring significant challenges."
UBC went 15-3 in conference play and 2-0 in the playoffs this season despite the loss of 2009-10 CIS MVP Liz Cordonier to graduation last spring, and the absence of national team members Kyla Richey and Jen Hinze for the first half of the '10-11 schedule.
In a thrilling Canada West final, the T-Birds overcame a two-set-to-one deficit to beat Trinity Western 17-15 in the fifth set.
"We did not play outside our conference this year so we will be scouting and learning this week, but we know that Canada West is sending three solid teams all of whom have the potential to do well," adds Reimer, whose squad will make its 16th appearance at the CIS tournament in the past 17 years. "I really don't think there is one team that could be considered a strong favourite based on the results we've seen this year from around the country."
Host Laval and Montreal are two teams that seem ready to challenge Canada West.
After battling all year long in the Quebec conference, the archrivals ended up with identical 17-3 records, with Laval taking first place following tie-breaking procedures. They met again in the best-of-three RSEQ final, with the Rouge et Or prevailing 3-1 and 3-2.
Laval, which claimed CIS bronze a year ago and silver in 2007 since winning its lone national title in 2006, kept a 4-0 non-conference mark this season against Canada West teams including a pair of wins over Brandon (3-1, 3-2) and two victories over Manitoba (3-1, 3-2).
Montreal finished a disappointing seventh as the No. 2 seed at last year's CIS tournament but had captured bronze in 2009 and silver in 2008. The Carabins won two of five duels against Canada West opponents this season, both versus Brandon.
In Friday's second quarter-final, Montreal will have a chance to avenge a stunning straight-set loss to Alberta in last year's opening round.
"I've been saying it for years: facing Montreal that many times every season is great for us because their style is very similar to Canada West teams. They're solid at the net and their imposing players excel at blocking," says Laval head coach Alain Pelletier, in his fourth season at the helm. "For us, it's the best preparation for the national championship."
The Quebec champions hope to become the first team to win the CIS title on home court since Alberta accomplished the feat three straight times from 1997 to 1999.
"We've been preparing for this since September 1st," says Pelletier. "The girls are very familiar with the environment, the setting, the game protocol. We've been doing a lot of visualization and we've also been working closely with a sports psychologist. We know since September 1st that it's coming, and now we're here."
Second-seeded Trinity Western had its best showing at the CIS championship in 2007, with a fourth-place finish.
The sixth-ranked Varsity Reds, who swept Saint Mary's in straight sets in the AUS title match, went 0-2 at the CIS tourney in both 2009 and 2008, when they hosted the competition in Fredericton.
Seventh-seeded Western, which defeated Guelph 3-1 in the OUA final, was fifth in its last CIS tourney appearance in 2005. The Mustangs, who were crowned in 1972, 1975 and 1976, remain the only OUA team in history to claim the national title.
The No. 8 Vert & Or struggled through the regular season and ended up with a 5-15 record. However, Sherbrooke upset McGill in two matches in a best-of-three series for the third Quebec berth into the CIS championship.

All of the plaintiffs and defendants in the civil lawsuits stemming from the August 2007 accidents at Genwal Resource, Inc.'s Crandall Canyon Mine have reached a comprehensive settlement for a confidential amount. The settlement culminates almost a year of negotiations and represents a monumental success, in that it brought numerous and wide-ranging interests together: sixteen (16) groups of plaintiffs, seven (7) defendants (five companies and two public entities), and six (6) insurance companies. "I congratulate the focused, dedicated efforts of the many individuals, attorneys, company managers and entities involved in the settlement negotiations.
"Those efforts do justice to the heroism of the rescuers following the Aug. 6 accident," said Kevin N. Anderson, attorney for UtahAmerican Energy, Inc., parent company of the mine operator, Genwal Resources, Inc. The settlement is a recognition of factual complexity and uncertainty, challenging issues of proof, novel questions of law, and the time and expense it would take to resolve them. "The geomechanics of coal mining under a mountain are extremely complex and difficult to assess.
"We have spent considerable time and effort attempting to determine what happened at the Crandall Canyon Mine. And while we have learned from the accidents, we realize that no one may ever know what actually caused those accidents," said Jason W. Hardin, another attorney for UtahAmerican.
"Rather than engaging in lengthy, expensive, and unpredictable litigation, the parties decided to work together toward an amicable, reasonable settlement to put these matters in the past, provide for the victims' and their families' futures, and allow all concerned to move forward. The settlement comes less than two years after the accidents. Such tort claims, however, often take many years to settle. For instance, the Quecreek Mine disaster in Pennsylvania occurred on July 24, 2002 and was much less complex than the Crandall Canyon Mine accidents. Those claims just settled this past March, almost seven years later.
"We live in a time of waning confidence in just about everything 'economic.' Businesses, insurance companies, the government, and lawyers are often seen as the cause of our problems, not the solution. But this settlement, and especially the fact that it was reached so quickly by so many, should give everyone hope that the system can and does work, often on a grand scale in extremely complicated situations," said Hardin.
According to the parties, the settlement brought numerous and widely varying interests together. The parties expressed hope that the settlement would bring a measure of closure and a sense of healing to the families of those who were lost or injured, current and former company employees, company management, the residents of Carbon and Emery counties, and the coal mining industry in general.
Ultimately, the plaintiffs, the defendants, and their insurers recognized the extent of factual complexities and novel questions of law, and the time and expense of resolving them.
Rather than engaging in lengthy, expensive, and unpredictable litigation, the parties decided to work together toward an amicable, reasonable settlement to put these matters in the past, provide for the victims' and their families' futures, and allow all concerned to move forward.
The parties succeeded in doing so, and the resolution reflects the sincere concerns and very best efforts of everyone involved.

|Meeting Description:
|The Department of Linguistics at the University of Leipzig is pleased to
announce the workshop 'Opacity in Grammar' (WOPiG). The aim of WOPiG is to
bring together researchers from phonology, morphology, and syntax in order
to address the puzzles posed by opaque interactions of grammatical operations.
Some linguistic expressions are opaque in the sense that the reason why a
certain grammatical process has applied (or why it has not applied) cannot
be read off of their surfaces. Traditionally, this kind of opacity was
captured by concepts such as overapplication or underapplication;
counter-bleeding or counter-feeding; or blocking.
Opaque interaction arises in all linguistic frameworks where the analysis
of linguistic expressions is the result of the interaction of elementary
operations and/or constraints. While opaque interactions would seem to be
easily resolvable in derivational or stratal frameworks, opacity presents a
challenge for representational frameworks. Indeed, recent developments in
all grammatical components tend to make use of timing: in phonology,
Harmonic Serialism (McCarthy (2010)) or Candidate Chains (McCarthy (2007))
are used; in morphology, the Distributed Morphology approach of, e.g.,
Arregi and Nevins (2012) allows ordering of postsyntactic morphological
rules; in syntax, the timing of elementary operations like Merge, Move, and
Agree becomes more and more important (e.g., Rezac (2004)). In light of
these trends, the aim of WOPiG is to bring together proponents of
derivational and representational frameworks in order to discuss how opaque
interactions can be resolved with derivational and representational means.

Harry Brown and J. C. Haley invented Almond Roca in 1912. It is that famous log-shaped, butter-almond toffee confection, individually wrapped in gold foil and packaged in a pink tin can. There is nothing better than receiving one the original tins for a holiday unless it's a batch of homemade almond toffee made in your own kitchen. Giving the gifts that you make yourself are gifts from the heart.
You won't need any special equipment when making homemade almond toffee—not even a candy thermometer. You will need to stir the toffee constantly and watch the color as you bring it to a medium mahogany color.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Cool Time: 4 to 6 hours
Yield: about 2 pounds
2 cups unsalted butter (for this recipe I used Plugrá butter)
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup whole roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of pure almond extract
1 1/2 cup Choclatique Private Reserve Dark Chocolate Pastilles, or
Choclatique Heirloom Milk Chocolate Pastilles
1/2 cup almonds, ground for almonds for coating the logs
Nonstick cooking spray
- Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inches jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large heavy-bottomed 2-quart (or larger) saucepan, combine the butter sugar and water over high heat, stirring constantly, until they combine completely.
- Continue cooking over high heat while stirring. (if using a thermometer 300º F)
- Add coarsely chopped almonds until just mixed.
- Add the vanilla and almond extracts by pouring down the side of the pan to prevent the toffee from crystallizing.
- Quickly and carefully pour the hot toffee and almond mixture onto the prepared jelly roll pan. Tilt to spread evenly. Use a pot holder as the pan can get very hot.
- After 5 minutes, distribute the chocolate pastilles over the toffee mixture. When they have begun to melt, spread them over the top of the hot toffee with a silicone spatula.
- Sprinkle the ground nuts evenly over the top.
- Cool the toffee for at least 4 hours, and up to 8 hours, at room temperature until hardened completely. The almond toffee is thoroughly cool when the chocolate is slightly dull looking.
- Break into pieces and the almond toffee is ready to eat.
ChefSecret: I recommend using Plugrá Butter for the taste. It's made with a higher butterfat content than most American butters (82% vs. 80%). That may not sound like much, but it makes a big difference in the final taste of the toffee.

UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival wraps up with tribute to trumpet legend
May 1, 2013
Greg Gisbert first came to the UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival as a student who lived in Littleton chasing a dream.
He came four times with his high school, from 1980-84. He met Jon Faddis for the first time there. He remembers those years well, even if, as Faddis joked, Gisbert had more hair then.
"It was such a thrill to hear the concert," Gisbert said Saturday afternoon, "and I remember saying 'Dad, I would do anything in the world to play with the UNC band and Jon.' And now it's a living dream come true."
As he said that, Gisbert, in fact, sat inches from Faddis in the St. Patrick's Presbyterian Church in downtown Greeley, but he knows Faddis now as a colleague, friend and leader of the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. He, Faddis and Terell Stafford, considered three of the finest jazz trumpet players in the world, played a tribute to Dizzy Saturday night. The show was the final concert of this year's jazz festival in a show attended by more than 1,300 at the Union Colony Civic Center.
You probably know Dizzy as the really old guy who had that strange trumpet bent skyward at the neck and cheeks that expanded to hamster-like proportions when he played it. But the music world knows him as the master of bebop, the frantic, calculus-complex form of jazz created by Charlie Parker, aka "Bird."
Parker was probably the greatest alto saxophonist who ever lived in jazz, but Dizzy could match him on the trumpet, and the three players still speak of him, and his music, in awe. Stafford was a classical player, and he thought the exacting technique that music demanded would help him. Yet he found Dizzy intimidating.
"When I went to Dizzy, I thought I'd never be able to achieve that clarity all over the horn," he said. "But it's a goal. It's what I want to sound like, and I have a lifetime to learn."
Faddis' prodigious talent and ability helped him be the first to really recreate Dizzy's playing. Faddis, when he emerged in the 1970s, tried to sound like Dizzy at a time when other players his age were listening to Miles and the more modern cats, and that's partly because Miles was cool, but it's also because it was too hard to play Dizzy. Faddis couldn't help it: When he was 10, his new trumpet teacher worked him on 20 minutes of fundamentals and 10 minutes on one measure, a mere breath in the music world, on a Dizzy solo. Dizzy later became his mentor and a father figure.
Saturday night he and his colleagues flashed that power. A UCCC volunteer asked people if they wanted earplugs, as if this was a heavy metal concert, and in a way, it was. They led off with a 1945 burner called "Things To Come," and the chart, at the time, turned big-band music on its ear. Dizzy's music did that. Faddis offered fist bumps to the soloists because, well, playing over that song deserved them.
Living up to the standards Dizzy's music demanded could be hard. When Stafford first met Faddis, he was playing lead in Stafford's first jazz ensemble gig. Stafford was thrilled. Faddis was his favorite lead player. The band played half a tune in their first rehearsal together when Faddis stopped the song and ripped Stafford for his attacks, phrasing and style. It was, as Faddis put it, too "Hayden Concerto."
Faddis kept it up in their first weeks together, and Stafford, angry, asked him what he should do. Faddis met with him the next night and had him play 100 high As, and when Stafford missed one, Faddis made him start over.
Dizzy's heyday was in the 1940s, but he was so far ahead of his time, Cyrus Chestnut, a pianist who also played a solo concert as an opener, called Dizzy's music "fresh."
"It's a great honor and privilege to play his music," Chestnut said. "You can't take it lightly. It always pushes you for more and more."
Gisbert finds himself pushed whenever he plays Dizzy's music. It, at times, makes him feel like that student in 1980 again.
"I didn't really even hear it, really hear it, or understand it until I was in my mid-30s," Gisbert said. "How complex and yet how logical it is at the same time. I keep chasing it."

Rutland County colleges team up with GMP Energy Innovation Center
20 June 2013
RUTLAND, Vt. – Green Mountain Power and all four Rutland County colleges signed an agreement today to work together to bolster economic, educational and community development, with GMP's new Rutland Energy Innovation Center serving as the focal point of the effort.
"Together we will promote educational and economic development opportunities in Rutland in a way that will benefit the colleges, the greater Rutland County region, traditional and adult students, the City of Rutland and the state as a whole," said Mary Powell, GMP's president and CEO. "We will work together to ensure that the GMP Energy Innovation Center becomes a vibrant educational asset, and the EIC will help the colleges connect their students with the community and provide meaningful educational opportunities on campus, at the EIC, and at other energy production sites."
Powell was joined by Castleton College President Dave Wolk, College of St. Joseph President Rich Lloyd, Community College of Vermont President Joyce Judy, and Green Mountain College President Paul Fonteyn, who signed a memorandum of understanding.
Under the agreement, GMP and the colleges will:
Create an EIC College Lecture Series open to the public and within the EIC, featuring professors and lecturers from the colleges on a rotating monthly basis, focused on energy, the environment, efficiency and related topics.
Collaborate to identify and present lecture topics and demonstrations by EIC staff within regular courses, on the college campuses.
Develop internship opportunities for students of the colleges who are interested in renewable generation and the energy industry, business and related topics, within the EIC and GMP more generally.
Create a job-shadowing program, so students can learn about different kinds of job opportunities and day-to-day job responsibilities in day-long or multi-day visits.
Use EIC exhibits and the EIC itself, the GMP Renewable Education Center in Rutland Town and other GMP renewable energy sites as adjunct classrooms for tours led by EIC staff for students from the colleges.
Investigate renewable development opportunities at the colleges and collaborate to develop sustainable generation and associated educational opportunities for students and the general public.
Continue to explore collaborative ideas to expand these partnerships.
"This is an extraordinary opportunity for our students," Wolk said. "It will provide academic and community-building benefits, connecting us to GMP's work and creating closer ties between the college and the city of Rutland."
Lloyd said CSJ is already looking into solar development on its campus in collaboration with GMP. "We have several options we are considering," Lloyd said. "I expect we'll have a project or projects to announce shortly, which will help connect our students directly to GMP's efforts and the EIC."
"We are very excited to be a part of this initiative," Judy said. "CCV serves 750 students in the Rutland area, and the job shadowing and internship opportunities that this program will provide will help students access the broad array of employment possibilities in the energy field."
Fonteyn said the collaboration with GMP was a natural extension of work at GMC. "We have been on the leading edge of energy issues for many years, starting with our reliance on Cow Power a decade ago, and continuing with work with GMP on electric vehicle and heat pump research," Fonteyn said.
Steve Costello, GMP's vice president for generation and energy innovation, said working with the colleges would have benefits for all GMP customers over time.
"Above and beyond the educational value to individual students, we see enormous potential for research, program and renewable development, and ancillary benefits to the city and downtown Rutland," Costello said. "Events at the EIC will bring both traditional students and adults into downtown, which will add to its vibrancy and bring additional business to restaurants and other businesses."

(April 11) Today we're celebrating . . . Easter Even
Easter Even / Holy Saturday / The Great Sabbath (Christian)
The Saturday before Easter and last day of Holy Week.
In Roman Catholic Churches, the altar is either stripped completely bare or coloured in violet, while the administration of the sacraments is severely limited. Holy Communion is given only as Viaticum. All Masses are strictly prohibited. No Mass at all appears in the liturgy for this day, nor for the preceding day, Good Friday. Many of the churches of the Anglican Communion observe most of the same traditions, however their altars are usually stripped or coloured in black.*

Where I stayed
Semey New Beach Resort
The landscape around Limbe is a pretty one with some still forested areas amidst the endless rows of oil palms, beautiful trees with fruits that produce the main cooking oil used in many tropical parts of the world, an oil so high in saturated fat that it makes butter and lard look like health foods. Also unique are the Limbe area's volcanic black sand beaches.
Limbe is also only a rather short distance as the crow flies from Calabar, Nigeria, a trip that took us well over a week via a circuitous land route on terrible roads. There is an overnight ferry that runs several times a week between the two, however, a travel possibility chosen by two members of our group (Dave and Gretchen) for whom drill monkeys and digging Daphne out of the mud had no appeal.
We stayed at Semey New Beach resort, a fairly posh beachside hotel compound about ten miles west of town where the expensive hotel rooms were not in my budget range. So I and my impoverished or fellow skinflint travelers camped around the truck in the grassy parking lot, only to have to move our tents into a close huddle in one corner so affluent weekend day trippers from Yaounde and Douala to park their Toyota 4Runners and other SUVs. I think I spent at least half and hour the morning after our arrival trying to shave off a week's worth of wiry beard growth with my last two disposable razors, an endeavor I'd compare to trying to cut copper wire with a butter knife. I was afraid the razors would become completely useless before I was done, and I'd end up with clumps of whiskers in funny shapes on various parts of my face (very stylish in some parts, I suppose). Perhaps it was time to try a Fu Manchu for the first time or maybe a goatee again if I had planned it out better
The smart thing to do might have been to suffer through a week's worth of beard growth for a few more hours and get treated professionally. Later in the day I had a 500 CFA (about $1.10) haircut at a little roadside box in town and could have gotten a shave for a pittance more rather than spend my morning abusing my face with dull disposable razors. "You know how to cut white hair," I asked the barber. "Oh, yes sir, welcome! Please come in and have a seat!" he said as he directed his little fan to blow right in my face to cool me down in the stiflingly still late afternoon air in his little box.
We had two full days with little to do but relax on the beach, frolic in the waves, and head into town for a wander around, although the only real sights in Limbe are a small botanical garden and adjacent museum. But the succulent white meat fish called Bar that the seaside restaurants all grill and serve whole are absolutely delicious, especially when washed down with a few cold Castel beers. Of course, most group members were still worried that "it's not safe to be out in town at night" and returned to the beach camp at dusk, leaving only Richard and me to eat fish and drinks beers in the seaside cafes.
It was in Limbe that I watched as love break out among several members of the group. I find it strange that people who have been together for weeks or months would wait until the last few days of the trip to finally start having "sexy times" together, as if saying, "What the hell. Only a few days left so might as well have some fun since there are no repurcussions if it doesn't work out." I, however, remained as pure and chaste as always during my travels, and couldn't help but think, "Why don't I ever get any sexy times? It's just not fair!"

"When I received these, new in the box, the leather was scuffed on the side of the shoe, like I received a floor model or something. They were not comfy at all either. Not worth the price. I returned them."

Posted on 05/31/2008 11:14:27 PM PDT by JustAmy
Evenin' Amy.
Good evening, DD.
Looking forward to seeing you next FRiday. Will Mrs DD be coming with you?
Beautiful Pledge, Amy!
In 19th-century England, debtors prison housed those unfortunate souls who couldnt pay their bills. New prisoners were escorted to the chummage, a prison dormitory. Since the people were not there for violent crimes, a spirit of trust and camaraderie soon developed. They played games together and had plenty to eat. Some were even allowed private rooms.
In time, the prisoners began to refer to each other as chums. Later, the word caught on outside the prison walls and took on the meaning of a cordial friend.
Deep bonds of friendship also take place in Christian ministry. Those who worked alongside Paul were not strangers to persecution and imprisonment. But a common mission created a deep sense of connectedness. In his letter to the believers in Colosse, Paul called Epaphras a fellow servant (1:7). The term can be paraphrased as together slave or one who serves the same master with another.
When believers live under the lordship of Christ, they can see their lives intertwined in service. By serving as slaves to Christ, a spiritual camaraderie results that transcends being chums. And that special relationship will continue on into eternity!
Amen..Thank you, Mayor.
So lovely!
How on earth can it be JUNE already?? The next thing we know, you'll be trying to tell us it is October. I'm not buying it. I must be in some kind of time warp. LOL.
I Recently Found the Most Wonderful Blessing on YouTube and Want to Share it with Everyone, and have Placed a Link in my Post. Prepare to be Filled with Joy and Thanksgiving and Worship to our Lord!
I have attended that church! Lovely. Early Anniversary best wishes.
(((((May your Day be a Wonderful One, my Sisters in Christ)))))
Amen! Lovely Evening Primrose, Kitty..Have a blessed day.
You have? Isn't it a pretty little Spanish style church?
We went to Santa Barbara and stopped by the church on our 24th anniversary and it hadn't changed one bit. Not much changes in Santa Barbara (the "city fathers" don't care much for change) - except the traffic. It was bumper to bumper along Cabrillo. :-(
It is..Santa Barbara is charming and beautiful..It has been many years since I was there...The traffic could be really bad around downtown.
Yes, it was a perfect place to have a wedding, on a perfect spring day on the beautiful California coast.
God Bless you and your Husband Always.
Thank you, kitty. We have been blessed beyond measure every day of our life together. Ours was truly a marriage made in Heaven. :-)
Morning Meg.
Beautiful, Megs! (((hugs)))
I think I am off for a nap now...all that music has made
my eyelids heavy! :D
Mexican Evening Primrose!! They grow in such beautiful masses around here... I love them!!!
"Just a Closer Walk with Thee," I love this gospel song. I never knew until now who wrote it.
What a lovely church!! And lovely memories to go with, Mama_Bear!!
Santa Barbara used to be my getaway for many years, going up for a day or a weekend. I really enjoyed shopping on State Street back in more easy-going times, going up to the Mission and the Botanical Garden.
Also, you are both probably familiar with the drive up on Camino Cielo. It's heavenly, just as the name of the road says:)
The only thing I don't remember is Camino Cielo (but it's been a LOT of years). The name doesn't ring a bell. I remember Alameda Padre Serra, "APS", the drive that went along the foothills. I am going to "google map" Camino Cielo and see where it is. I'm sure I have been there.
The Methodist Church is just down the street from the Mission on Anapamu Street. I used to love to go the the Mission also. To me it is like the crown jewel of all the California Missions.
I learned to drive an old Nash Rambler in Hope Ranch, an area in S.B. with beautiful homes and expansive rolling green lawns. And the best steak I ever had was at Hidden Valley Ranch which was off of San Marcos Pass. Such great memories there.
I think maybe I will try to talk JK into going over to Santa Barbara for the weekend soon. I know I will be unhappy with the traffic conjestion, so I will just have to be prepared for it.
Hope you both are having a nice day. It is beautiful here.
The traffic has spoiled things quite a bit, IMO MamaBear, especially the way several streets were turned into one-ways. It spoiled the neighborhood feeling, and such lovely neighborhoods they are:)
I was a regular at a bed and breakfast, the name of which totally escapes me!!! It was a lovely California bungalow style house and had a hot tub out back....Yes, ma'am.
I used to go to a bookstore called Earth-something. You could sit around a fireplace reading. Also, used to get monster croissants and dark roasted coffee for breakfast, when that was a new fad.
Camino Cielo is above Montecito, I believe. When you drive that ridge, Santa Barbara and the ocean are on one side and Santa Ynez Valley on the other. The Reagan Ranch is up there, too. Oh, I hope you remember it now. There's a country store at the bottom of the road.
I have always had a good sense of direction, but for some reason I could not tell north from south and east from west.....I always thought that the ocean should be west, but it was actually south. I never understood that. Still don't. LOL.
Our first apartment after we were married was actually a little bungalow about two blocks from the ocean on Natoma Street, just down from the city college. A little studio apartment. We were only there for a couple months and then moved to the Bay Area. Sadly, I never really appreciated living in Santa Barbara until after we left. I remember people joking that Santa Barbara was a place for the newly wed and nearly dead. LOL. They did roll up the sidewalks at sundown, as I recall.
I am enjoying so much this little trip down memory lane. :-)
No problem, I draw blanks too, as you can see:) My mother always had a better memory than I do.
AND, I understand losing sense of direction in S.B....totally!!! It is very disorienting.
Thank you. The picture was taken by ValerieTexas and MamaBear made the pledge graphic.
Hope you have had a Blessed Sunday.
Hi Amy, I'm off to bed and will ring the opening bell in the AM...
Beautiful, Meg. Thank you.
Hope you had a Lovely Sunday.
Thank You!
Good evening, Jack. That kitten picture is precious. Thank you.
I love your kitten poems. Thank you for sharing.
What happened to May? It is always sad to say good-bye to the old thread/month.
On Friday, I realized that June was only a day away.
Beautiful, Lori.
We haven't been to Santa Barbara for a few years. It is a lovely area.
Fifty+ years ago we visited Santa Barbara on our honeymoon.
Good evening, Kitty Mittens. Thank you.
Your King's Ranch flower graphic is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
The video, The Victor, was a beautiful Worship to our Lord.
Wonderful, Lady J. Thank you.
Happy June. I'm looking forward to more of your pretty/cute posts.
Great, Luv. Thank you for the beautiful Lord's Day Graphic.
Thank you for links to some awesome music.
God Bless and Protect our Troops.
"Just a Closer Walk with Thee" has always been one of my favorite hymns.
Thank you for the kind words. Just enjoy the tunes....I did
while previewing them!
Amen...God keep our troops safe as they protect us from harm!
Wonderful, Cardhu. Thank you.
Both Presentations were beautiful.
If someone stumbles onto the May thread .... they can enjoy these PP Presentations.

A man suspected of having invaded that New Jersey home and severely attacked the woman, including throwing her down the basement stairs has been arrested and charged with first degree attempted murder, first degree robbery, 2nd degree burglary and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
May he go away forever.
It's shocking he didn't rape her. I guess he was short on time.
The town is Millburn, not Millborn.
The town is Millburn, not Millborn.
The town is Millburn, not Millborn.
Probably 8-12 years. Probably get a bonus to time served if he's a repeat offender.
I think he'll get longer than that, if he's convicted on everything. Especially if he is sentenced to consecutively.
I didn't mean to post multiple time. Having some kind of glitch.
It happens.
I think the FReeper got the message.
Thank God he didn't hurt the children.
Hopefully when he's in prison, some of his fellow animals will get him.
I'm sure Holder will find a way to have him released and the women arrested for inciting him to violence.
That sounds like it was 1,000 miles away. Oh, wait, that is Mille Bornes; pardon my French.
Thank you for posting this. Thank you police for catching this creep. I hope while he is in jail the Viking KIttehs make stew out of him.
That was fast
They should lock the animal up and play videos of him beating on that little woman in prison. A few "lifers" will take care of the problem.
One of Obama's many sons??
I found it interesting that his girlfriend was surprised. I think I can believe her, because I don't think most woman, of any ethnicity, would tolerate this behaviour from their mate.
I also know, from postings on other sites, that most black women wouldn't continue a relationship with such a brute. They may not have many options as to available black men, but they definitely would rather stay single than continue a relationship with a guy like this.
And the ACLU will be rushing to his defense.
Ike and Tina!
Where's the sarc tag? The thugs behind bars will proclaim him a hero for beating just another "cracker". Obama and his crony Holder will blame the white woman for acting stupidly.
It would be nice if judges took into account chronic criminality.
One of Obamas many sons??
No, a brutha.
I'm sure the good judges do take chronic criminality into account.
This guy's relatives need to get a bill for the bullet.
I sure wish we could have this savage here in Texas. Number 500 was executed just a couple of days ago and Shawn Custis ought to be given an express boarding pass for #501.
I believe that Mad magazine meant to mock our governor. For this Texan, I think our record with executions is just great but needs to be applied more aggressively and the time for appeal reduced significantly. See my longtime tag line.
drop that fag into a wood chipper or give him to me and I'll drop him into a tank full of piranha.... or maybe a glass cage full of scorpions, army ants and scarabs...
Permit me to recommend either the Brown Recluse or Wolf spider as an antagonist.
He has a long history of criminal activity.
What about the "crackaz" behind bars?
Black thugs may act tough but they're all terrified of the "crazy white boy".
Holder will have him brandishing a nightstick outside a voting station by November.
Well if MSNBC's weekend "Lockup" is to be believed, the entire prison population are members of the Aryan Nation. Mexicans and blacks? A rarity on those programs. Of course, they twist the narrative to fit their leftist agenda.
I'll just say that I hope some unreconstructed, old-timey Southern Democrat types have their way with this filth and erase his existence. That is if somehow, someway he can't be brought here to experience real Texas justice.
This poor women and her family will live in fear from now on because this guy is still alive. He will be walking the streets real soon knowing our justice system and Im sure he will be looking for revenge. Next time he will rape and kill, mark my words. Young lady get a gun and learn to use it
500 or 5000?
Identify him as the perp 100% for certain.
Then shoot the bastard.
Twelve convictions since the 1990s, many of them felonies, and that knuckledragger was on the streets. Good job, Jersey courts.
He'll likely serve a couple years and be back in the streets in time to cast his vote for Hillary in 2016.
Thank god it wasn't Short Hills /s
"One of Obamas many sons??"
Maybe; they caught him by tracking his cell phone (Obama free cell phone?).
What really made this a sensational story here in NJ was that it happened in an area where raids from the Newark Welfare Reservation are rare; people in Millburn live as though they are 1,000 miles from Newark (they're actually not far at all). Many of the areas south and west of Newark resisted having highway exit ramps in their towns to prevent this from happening; when the PATH rail line was completed (trains connecting NYC to Newark) suggestions that it continue westward were quickly quashed by the wealthy people living in western Essex County. They knew these things would be the result.
Needs killing. Zero recidivism.
So it's really our fault.
May God place him on the recall list...
I want one of those.
Why was this cretin even allowed on the streets with 12 felony convictions? Oh that's right, liberalism.

Gold's price fell to a nearly four-month low Tuesday, but good luck getting strategists to agree on why. They just can't.
To Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid, the Tuesday gold selloff — which sent the most actively traded futures contract in New York down 2% — is about improving U.S. economic data. It's also, per Reid, about less investor fear over Ukraine, even though reports of more than 50 rebels killed this week would seem downright fearful:
One asset class we're watching is gold (-2.16%) which suffered its biggest drop of the year yesterday and has fallen by about 9% since the 2014 highs in March. It's broken out below its 200 day moving average as some of this year's tailwinds such as geopolitical risks (for example in Ukraine) and weak US economic growth appear to be abating somewhat, while all the recent Fedspeak debating when and how the Fed will be winding back its policies is partly to blame as well. Seasonality is also working against the precious metal as May and June have been negative months over the last 3 years, not including the -2.1% performance seen so far this month. Dovish comments from the ECB's Nowotny yesterday failed to boost gold. Nowotny commented that the central bank is in discussions over a rate cut and Draghi said overnight that he is confident that the ECB has the tools to deliver on its inflation target.
To Commerzbank's commodity strategists, the gold-price declines instead reflect investor surprise at the weakening of demand in the world's biggest market for gold, China, plus a host of technical factors:
The gold price slumped by approx. 2% yesterday and fell overnight to a 3½-month low of $1,261 per troy ounce – its biggest percentage daily loss in nearly half a year. Selling pressure evidently stemmed from the futures market; we will obtain a clearer picture on Friday when the CFTC's market positioning data are published, covering the week of trading up to and including yesterday. The price slump was triggered by reports from Asia: the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong government announced that China's net gold imports from the former British crown colony totalled 67 tons in April, the lowest figure in 14 months. Following record-high gold imports last year and cooling demand in the current year, many Chinese banks are now clearly sitting on considerable gold stocks which they are keen to reduce before they import any new gold from Hong Kong. Pressure also came in the form of firm equity markets, which in the case of the S&P 500 and the DAX reached new all-time highs. What is more, follow-up selling on the part of technically-oriented market participants was sparked when prices fell below key technical support levels. As a result, prices dipped below a triangle and the sideways trend they have pursued in recent weeks. In the short term, this points to further price falls.
Don't count out more negativity from Wall Street as a factor, either.
Western financial investors haven't been the negative for gold that they were during 2013, and yesterday even saw notable investor inflows into SPDR Gold Trust (GLD). But you've also got, for instance, firms like Strategas Research Partners telling clients the "3‐month low for Gold reestablishes the downtrend in our view," and calling the metal "a sale."
Wednesday morning, the most actively traded gold futures contract is down 0.2% to $1,263. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is off 0.2%, while Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is down by 0.8%. The leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) are moving by 2-3% apiece. iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 0.1%.

Chairman Edward Geary opened the meeting with comments about the drought, fires and the flooding in and around burned over areas in Emery County.
Geary quoted the council mission statement as follows: "Our business is to represent the public lands interest of Emery County and its citizens and perform an advocacy role for local users and stake holders. To work in partnership with the Federal and State agencies in fashioning management decisions and policies affecting lands, participating in the development, coordination and implementation of the planning objective to ensure harmony between the objectives of these various entities in the Emery County Master Plan. It is the intent and purpose of the Emery County Public Lands Council to aggressively preserve the community heritage of Emery County."
Commissioner Horrocks reported on the Land Use Bill, that Ray Petersen and staff are working to get the plan ready to submit to the State Legislature to meet the requirements of House Bill 176. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance wants to again participate. Commissioner Horrocks has asked for a written statement of what SUWA considers in their interest. "We have reached out to everyone and would like to have the support of all interested parties," said Commissioner Horrocks.
Petersen made a Land Use Bill presentation at the Utah State Capitol, to the Carbon County Commissioners, the Uintah County Commissioners and the Sevier County Commission about the Emery County Land Use Bill. "We plan to move forward with this bill even if we do not get the support of the State. The council views this bill as a Federal Lands issue," said Petersen.
One of the issues the other counties are concerned about is as follows. They do not want Wilderness Study Areas being put in their county. Randy Johnson said, changing a designation from Wilderness Study Area to Wilderness will not change what occurs on the land in terms of land use or air quality.
Petersen said Brian Hawthorne of the Blue Ribbon Coalition has advised the making of some minor changes in the language that clarifies the Land Use Bill.
Bureau of Land Management Division of Water representative mentioned the Light House Fire at Range Creek that consumed 755 acres, 562 was BLM, and 193 was State. "This is highly sensitive land with the existing cultural resources. We plan to partner with DWR to do some rehabilitation of that area. Some of the burn occurred where a prescribed burn was planned. There was only minor damage to the artifacts in Range Creek. We are working on a management plan to control and manage fire for the future. This was a good test of what we need to do. Much of that area has burned over in the past," he said.
Marc Stilson reported the Division of Water Rights expects the Nuclear Power Plant Application to be involved in a Water Rights Court Case possibly in October. This will be a preliminary hearing.
A question was asked about emergency removing of log jams in the river channel. Stilson replied there are two permitting agencies the State and the Corps of Engineers. As far as the State is concerned, whatever needs to be done for emergency fixes or repairs, there are no restrictions. The Corps of Engineers may have a similar policy.
John Baza of the Division of Oil Gas and Mining came with Dana Dean Associate Director of Mining and will be holding a meeting about a host of issues related to oil gas and mining later this day. In the future we will be holding a quarterly meeting as it relates to mining. Hydraulic fracturing is on everyone's mind these days nationwide. "We have a presentation we can show you at another time," Baza said.
The water discharge from the Crandall Canyon Mine is still being processed by the company to lower the iron content to acceptable levels. The pretreatment process of the iron discharge hasn't changed for sometime. They are holding steady. The company will continue to be responsible to treat that water.
"Our Abandoned Mine Reclamation Project in the San Rafael Swell is part of a cooperative effort with the BLM. This is part of a rural history project that uses the consulting services of Brigham Young University to interview some local people. It has since developed into a video production of about 17 minutes long. It is called, 'Mining In The Swell.' We will show this video to you at a future date," said Baza.
The Division of Wildlife Resources reported on the Mule Deer Protection Act. The Legislature has approved funding for coyote removal. The bounty on coyotes has been increased to $50. The DWR is cooperating with the counties that administer that program. Senator David Hinkins was one of those that helped pass this legislation. About $600,000 is available to the public for predator control and to help the recovery of the mule deer population. From Dec. 1 to the end of April 2013 when fawns are being born is the time the public would be encouraged to harvest coyotes in areas where deer raise their young. Coyote bounty will be paid on any coyote taken within the state. Coyote hunters will be required to go on line to register because taxes are involved.
Coyote check in will begin after Sept. 1. There will be three locations in the region. One location will be at the Fairgrounds in Price, another at the DOT shed in Green River and one at the DOT shed in Monticello. These stations will be open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 4- 8 p.m. This will let the DWR check in coyotes when people are off work.
The Seeley Fire had major impacts on wildlife both good and bad. For big game it is fantastic. "We are already seeing green in some areas. The aspens are surviving after the beetle kill trees were burned. We expect a lot of aspen regeneration. For hunting this year the fire will cause some areas to be restricted. The flash flooding in Huntington Canyon will be a public safety issue," said the DWR.
"The aquatic resources have received a major impact. The flooding in Huntington Canyon has basically wiped out all the fish down to the Green River. We have seen fish kill in the town of Green River too. We lost all the fish in the Price River. The ash in the streams are what killed the fish." the DWR concluded.
School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration reported that all pending sales of SITLA land have been finalized. The Lighthouse fire near Range Creek was on BLM and SITLA property. SITLA has property scattered throughout the state intermingled with BLM and Forest and have fires throughout the state. They anticipate the need for seed this year will be very high. They are partnering with the DNR, the DWR and the BLM to purchase a large bulk of seed. This seed will be put in storage and used to reseed burned areas. Some natural reseeding will take place. The concern is that noxious weeds may take over in some of the areas.
The preliminary seismic fault study for the Blue Castle Energy plant has been completed in the San Rafael/ Manti-LaSal National Forest Ranger Darren Olsen displayed maps and photos of the Seeley Fire. The fire was first reported on June 26 in the left hand fork of Huntington Canyon. That was a red flag day with ideal conditions from a burning stand point, which made it very difficult to suppress the fire. The fire continued to grow. Part of the problem was the wind that caused pieces of burning tree branches to fly as far as a half a mile and set more fires in front of the fire (called spotting). The fire continued to grow throughout a lot of that country. About 48,000 acres burned within the fire area. The fire burned Forest Service, BLM, State and some private land. The majority of the fire was on Forest Service lands. The fire went as far North as Clear Creek. The fire continued to grow to the North and East. There are still some green spots along the slopes in the burned area. The livestock and wild life mostly hung out away from the fire edges and in the green spots. As far as they know most of the animals survived. The fire was finally contained about July 14.
With the rain events they are getting flooding outside the natural streams. The dark black dirty water is what killed the fish in Huntington Creek and throughout the drainage area from the fire.
On Aug. 1 there was a rainstorm that dropped about an inch and a quarter of rain throughout the fire area. This caused rocks and debris to wash out of the canyons and close State Highway 31. Many of the recent rain events have caused debris flows out of the canyons. This flooding has caused an increased work load for the Utah Department of Transportation and Emery County in clearing roads of rocks and debris.
The increased flow of water down Huntington Creek after the rainstorm caused severe under cutting of SR-31 and delayed the opening of this road for travel. Other negative effects of the fire were livestock grazing which affected, two cow allotments and four sheep allotments hurting their grazing season.
In the burned areas they will let the land rest and recover from the fire for a time. There will be some benefits from the fire. They are starting to see new growth in some areas but it will take a few years to get through the flooding. They expect to see flooding for the next couple of years until they get vegetation established in those burned over areas. Their plan is to reseed and build debris basins in the canyons to slow the flooding. Some of the South facing slopes are already starting to show the regrowth of vegetation. In the areas not affected by the fire, the recent rain events have caused the vegetation to grow there too.
The Seeley fire burned 48,000 acres and has cost more than $9 million so far.
Utah State Parks and Recreation representative Dan Richards reported because of the fires Huntington State Park had increased usage. Last year all state parks had increased revenue. Last year the Green River State Park, Golf Course and camp ground were up 5 percent in revenue, 10 percent for Goblin Valley, 10 percent at Millsite and up 18 percent for Huntington. These can be attributed to the improvements they have made in the campgrounds. "In Green River half of the camp sites have electricity. In the next two months we expect Rocky Mountain Power to upgrade to an 800 amp transformer at Millsite. This will allow us next year to add electricity to 10 camp sites and we will improve the campground more when funds become available," said Richards.
"At Green River due to water conditions the annual Friendship Cruise was canceled. The Green River Triathlon was a success with more than 200 participants. The Triathlon at Huntington was a very successful event with more than 200 triathletes. We are already planning and working on next year's event," said Richards.
Another 10,000 wiper fish have been stocked at Huntington State Park. This is the first year they are seeing some production from stocking wipers the last couple of years. They are seeing 10-11 inch fish. They hope to have some harvestable fish next year.
The Millsite Poker Ride is scheduled for Sept. 15. This is a fundraiser for Millsite.
