Photoshop LAB Color
November 11, 2005, 01:13:52 PM »
Dan Margulis has written a new book, Photoshop LAB Color, which has quite a few interesting suggestions on how to use the LAB color space in Photoshop to get better results than can be obtained in traditional RGB or CMYK editing. Of particular interest to landscape photographers are techniques for enhancing the separation and vividness of colors in landscapes that appear to have washed out or flat colors, improving the color of forested scenes, correcting overall color to remove color casts, and restoring color to highlight areas that are nearly blown out, such as in sunsets.
This is a book that will make you think. It is not just a collection of techniques or recipes for image modification. Margulis is interested in how things work and why. He looks at how we see color, both in nature and on the printed page, and how color is represented and reproduced in the digital world. He talks about imaginary colors that can be represented in LAB but not reproduced in the real world (e.g., dark, dark, purely saturated yellow) and then shows how imaginary colors can be useful in a real world workflow.
Marguliss orientation is not as a fine art photographer; he comes from the world of Photoshop professionals who spend their days color-correcting, retouching and enhancing commercial photos for publication in catalogs, magazines, books, newspapers, web sites, etc. For that reason, not everything he recommends will work for landscape photographers or find application in a fine art workflow. Nonetheless, thinking about what he says and the explanations for why it works is a valuable learning experience. In that sense, the book is similar to his previous book, Professional Photoshop, which teaches about color correction by the numbers with a strong emphasis on the CMYK color space. Like many other readers, I learned a lot about color correction from the earlier book but found that I ultimately disregarded much of what he said about CMYK because I was working mainly in RGB. With this book, I expect it will be much the same. Some parts of it I am finding to be quite useful and I intend to retain them in my repertoire; other parts I expect I will soon forget.
Margulis tends to be a little controversial. For example, in the past he has made fairly blanket statements that there is little practical benefit to working with 16-bit files and has drawn a fair amount of flack as a result. No doubt some parts of this latest book will attract some of the same attentionbut they will make you think.
A word of warningthis is NOT a book for Photoshop novices. The first six chapters cover the basic LAB techniques that Margulis advocates. Each of those chapters is in two parts, a straightforward description and then a more advanced explanation. Even the simpler parts of those chapters require at least an intermediate knowledge of Photoshop (and photography) and the second half of each chapter assumes a greater level of familiarity. After the first six chapters, things get even more advanced.
The book is generously illustrated with lots of examples, showing before and after images and screenshots showing the curves that are necessary for a particular move. All the images in the book are also included on the accompanying CD so you can try everything for yourself.

Excellent description of the book, thanks. I would add a few comments:
Potential readers might wonder how a whole book could be written on just the LAB color space. Indeed, this concern is brought up by David Biedny in the Forward of the book. The answer seems to be lots of examples with big illustrations, plus a fair amount of repetition. The actual ideas in the book could be stated concisely in just a few pages; the rest of the book is tutorial and exploration of the consequences. Whether that's a problem or not will depend on your reading preferences.
The illustrations carry a lot of the weight. They are allowed to spill out to the edge of the page, so they're bigger than they otherwise could be, which is a nice touch. Many of the differences shown in the illustrations are pretty subtle, and the color printing in the book is good enough to see what he's talking about, but just barely.
The technical explanations for many of Margulis's arguments are basically mathematical, but he shies away from the actual details and doesn't go into the math. In my view that weakens the explanation, and partially obscures the fact that he's mostly talking about Photoshop's implementation and not fundamental differences between color spaces.
The author spends quite a few words on warning the reader about how difficult the material is to understand. Perhaps he's trying to leave the impression that his explanations are better than they really are. If the user comes away confused, he blames the supposed difficulty of the subject; if he comes away enlightened, he credits the author's brilliance. It's a cheap trick and a waste of space, and Margulis does it consistently throughout. Great technical writing makes the difficult seem easy, without calling attention to itself. The writing here doesn't quite reach that level, but it's actually quite good. It would stand on its own without the apology.

As I mentioned in the original post, this is a book that makes you think. I've been continuing to work with the ideas and techniques in the book and I decided to share a couple thoughts I've had in case anyone is checking back in the new posts. While there are quite number of specific examples and techniques in the book, I come away with at least three "big ideas" that give me added insights in how to look at an image in Photoshop and how to approach post-processing:
1. Color separation. As photographers, we are familiar with evaluating and correcting the contrast in photos, something many of us first learned in the black and white darkroom. A low contrast photo is often described as flat and we routinely use a variety of techniques, such as Levels or Curves, to enhance contrast. Margulis points out that many images suffer from lack of color separation, such as desert scenes where the camera sees washed out colors even though the eye saw vivid hues of red and yellow. Likewise, scenes with a lot of vegetation appear to the camera as nearly uniform green even though the photographer saw a variety of subtle shades and differences. The solution for lack of color separation, as with lack of tonal contrast, is to steepen the curve. Because LAB color has channels of pure color, it is an easy matter to steepen the curve of the color channels and achieve greater color separation, with colors that are not only more saturated but also more vivid because the differences in their hues have been accentuated.
2. Understanding how to color correct in LAB. Margulis's background emphasizes doing commercial color correction work and the book devotes quite a bit of space to this topic. Since I have begun shooting digitally, rather than scanning film, I find that color correction per se is much less of an issue. Nonetheless, understanding this topic is key to appreciating some of the power of the LAB colorspace. LAB has only two color channels, A and B, in contrast to the three color channels found in the familiar RGB colorspace. Both the A and B channels have their mid-points at zero, which is an absence of color or a neutral color depending on how you look at it. The A channel tends toward magenta with positive values and toward green with negative values. The B channel is yellow and blue. So in a sense, LAB has four primary colors arrayed around its color wheel, with pure neutral in the center. Any two values specify both a hue and how "saturated" it is (how far it is from the neutral center).
3. Approach color and contrast separately. At first, the idea of dealing with color and contrast separately in LAB would seem to be fairly trivial since LAB has two channels that contain only color information and one that has only contrast. Some of the techniques will be familiar to many users of RGB who routinely use a luminosity blend mode for sharpening and local contrast enhancement. Margulis takes it quite a bit farther, and this is where some of the more powerful (and more advanced) techniques come into play. Essentially these techniques take advantage of all the different ways visual information is presented in Photoshop, extracting the most useful parts as needed to construct the color and contrast for the final image. For example, most photographers are familiar with the idea of using a red filter to enhance the appearance of the sky in a black and white photo. A similar result can be obtained in Photoshop by taking the red channel from the RGB colorspace and applying it to the L channel in LAB. More surprisingly, one can sometimes extract very useful contrast information from A and B (pure color) channels using the Overlay blend mode. The idea is to work with color channels in either LAB and/or RGB, as well as using the L channel in order to build the best contrast channel, ignoring what happens to the color. Then adjust the color using either RGB or LAB as appropriate without worrying about contrast. LAB lets you put it all together. The amount that can be done merely by substituting and blending channels is quite remarkable.

Thanks for the link. I just spent a little while reading the comments on Chapter One and I'm quite impressed by the level of the discussion, not to mention the amount of effort some of the participants have put into writing and illustrating their comments. I plan to spend some more time browsing that thread.

I'm on Chapter 9 of the book, and I basically agree with John DeMott's review. I think the book is valuable. The content is very rich with all kinds of useful insights - not only on LAB mode, but other things as well.
If you want to get much more deeply into colour control and colour management, it is worthwhile to subscribe (free) to Dan's colortheory discussion forum at Sterling Ledet. It is a Yahoo group. The discussion there ranges from the easy to the very deep. All the controversies are well-exposed.
When reading Dan's material, it is important to separate the controversial issues (e.g. his views on bit depth and color working spaces) which occupy a very small fraction of his material, from the solid technical information that we can actually use to improve our printing. The latter is much more abundant and important than the former.

Best molecular gastronomy in NYC is in Montclair, NJ at Adara! [moved from Manhattan board]
Please excuse me for being off topic, but this place is good enough and close enough to be here.
Plus, at least during the week, it's accessible by train from Manhattan, straight shot by train, just across from the station. It's that easy, but not on the weekend because that train line (Boonton) that stops at Walnut St. in Montclair doesn't run (another one does, that goes to Bay St, a bit further away, does).
I went today to visit friends who live in Montclair and had a really great, innovative, and exciting meal. I have a very low regard for WD-50 (all intellect and pretense, no sensuality) and totally miss Tailor. Corton is very innovative, but is overdone with and super expensive. Dovetail is wonderful and innovative, they deconstruct, but they're not really molecular. There was a great place in Seattle called Veil, but, like Tailor, it closed. I don't want the same fate to befall Adara, especially since the chef's next move is likely to be a spot in NYC!
Adara is small and personal with great, exciting food. It's unpretentious, not too expensive, and the best molecular gastronomy in the area.
They have several menu options
A la carte
3-course ($59)
5-course ($79)
7-course ($105)
12-course ($165)
We had the 5-course. There were 5 of us, my friends and their two kids who are 7 and 4. I want to point out that these kids are exceptional, and others their ages might enjoy the menu as much as they did. That said, the restaurant was very gracious and kind to them.
I've pasted the whole menu below, but there were also multiple amuses which were like courses on their own. These included
Umi amuse with hickory smoke, umi lobster espuma and umi ice cream
(the smoke is trapped under a glass that is hollowed out on top with espuma, ice cream underneath the glass)
Keffir lime donut hole, mango sponge, white chocolate lime ice cream, lavender gel, mango sauce. The dessert amuse! This was absolutely incredible--probably the best dish of the whole meal.
There was also a banana bread with white chocolate shavings and a cream cheese sauce.
There may have been another amuse I missed here.
I also have to mention their "brioche" which this yeast-less bread that they make with nitrous--it's fun and doughy and yummy with butter.
The whole meal was great.
I didn't try the clam chowder, but my friends enjoyed it, and one of the children really loved the quail egg and doesn't want chicken eggs any more!
The suspended melon gazpacho was more than thick--it was in a firm sake gel. The flavor was very good, the texture was a little unsettling, but it worked.
Campania didn't work too well. I thought it was the weakest dish of the night, but even so it had some redeeming qualities. The evo gelato--olive oil as I recall--was the best part. The problem was the mozzarella which, in order to inflate as a balloon, they soaked in water which left it rubbery, but it was also bland mozzarella, I don't think it would have tasted so great even prior to the manipulations.
Natura Mia was a great salad. The interesting highlight was the marshmallows.
I didn't get to try the White Truffle Envelope, but the vanilla lobster was great. The vanilla butter sous vide process imparted a very nice flavor though the completion of the cooking process left the meat a bit chewy (not as good as Nana's in RTP where they using a béchamel cooking medium to keep it moist and tender).
The sea scallops were very flavorful. The filet was really great. The sous vide had the greatest impact here--incredibly flavorful, tender--we ordered it rare, and it was great, though the chili sauce was too spicy for me and the kids.
We ended up trying three desserts, all of which were great, including the cucumber sorbet (really!). My favorite elements in the desserts was the tahini ice cream in the cranberry almond dish.
I don't think I've really done it justice, but it was a great meal. We all loved it and wanted to go back, young and old alike.

lady grey
iced earl grey tea/vanilla cream/lavender vapor/carbonated grapes
nude buddha
sparkling asian pear/fennel/ginger mint/egg white/jasmine bubbles
I left out the eggplant amuse which was pretty much a typical miso eggplant that you might have in a Japanese restaurant--cute little baby eggplant, but it was a little chewy, and the sauce was too sweet.
I also left out the tea service which interestingly came with a tea timer that had three strengths. They also gave us extra pop rocks for the kids (they came with one of the mocktails, the first photo).
Finally, the photo of the umi amuse doesn't do it justice. Sorry, but it the remains of one and the other had already been disturbed and then put back together for the photo, so the smoke was gone, and the pea shoot had fallen.
I really feel like my report doesn't adequately convey how great it was. I guess I tend toward understatement, but it really was extraordinary, and like nothing you can get in NYC. It's much closer to the molecular gastronomy I've experienced in Barcelona. I miss that--haven't been in five years after going about a dozen times in the prior five or so years. I never made it to el Bulli, but I'd been to restaurants run by disciples of Ferran Adria in Barcelona. This meal reminded me of meals I'd had there, especially the originality and sensuality of the food, but also the convivial atmosphere. Philip, the manager, made us feel very welcome, and his explanations of the food brought the menu to life.
I hope that's a little better!
re: StevenCinNYC
Very impressive review....thanks for sharing.
re: fourunder
Thanks! The moderators moved it, but they said I could put a Pointer Post up in NYC so I did.
re: StevenCinNYC
I have avoided going to wd-50 because I'm not particularly interested in science experiments on the plate. I do, however, love Corton. We recently had a sensational dinner there. By NYC standards, I would not call $115 for 5 courses + amuses + mignardieses "super" expensive.
I'm not totally against molecular gastronomy so long as ingredient combinations aren't extremely weird (at least, to me), and the result is delicious food. For example, all upscale restaurants in NYC use the sous vide method, and the results are meats and birds that are extremely tender, juicy, and flavorful. And, of course, foams are ubiquitous.
Regulars here know that we split our time between NJ and NYC. I'd not heard of Adara before you posted. Prices are very much in line with those at other upscale NJ restaurants like Nicholas and The Peacock Inn, which is as it should be. After reading your review and looking at the photos on the website, I'm very intrigued and have put Adara on my NJ "go to" list.
re: RGR
I'm very pleased to hear back from you as I'm a fan of your postings and share your love of EMP.
My experience of Corton was based on ordering the most expensive tasting menu with a truffle supplement--that ended up being pretty expensive, I think the total for two with maybe one glass of wine was around $500, but I can't say for certain at this point. It was about 8 months ago. The food was very interesting and mostly enjoyable, but our service experience was not.
I didn't realize that people split between NY and NJ--very glad to hear it, and in particular that my Adara posting may influence you to give it a try. I want to support them and would love to know what you think of it.
re: StevenCinNYC
after reading the mostly negative review in the nyt, was it bruni's column?, i had no interest in this restaurant. i have been to wd50 and alinea and was underwhelmed by the food at both. although alinea was an experience i would suggest for any foodie. one of the highlights there was the wine pairings. i see that adara is a dry restaurant and the site has nothing about byob. any incite? also, how long was dinner? i expect like the ss minnow, a 3 hour tour.
re: dock
Yes, BYOB--I believe that all restaurants in Montclair are BYOB (something about the local laws). Seems Bruni mentioned the place and interviewed the chef. David Corcoran gave a vague review (which he said wasn't a review) that definitely had a negative tone, but it was odd--said the food was too caloric and mentioned the mozzarella dish as I did, but didn't highlight much in the positives column. Seemed a bit slanted and non-specific to me. I hope that they get a real review soon, but also that they eliminate the mozzarella balloon which people seem to agree doesn't work.
re: StevenCinNYC
Not all restaurants in Montclair are BYO, but for the most part, any non-licensed restaurant in NJ allows BYO (only beer and wine, technically, not spirits). Just an FYI for our NY friends.
A MG restaurant opened in Hoboken some years back (I want to say 2004 or so) and quickly closed. I don't think Hoboken was ready to support this type of place, and I'm curious if a few years and a few miles are going to make a difference with this place.
re: StevenCinNYC
I'm very flattered to learn that you're a fan. :)
I don't know if there are others who are as fortunate as we are to have a house in NJ and an apartment in Manhattan. But there are many Jersey Hounds who do dine in the city.
The 9-course tasting menu at Corton is $155, which is relatively reasonable compared to the cost of tasting menus of similar size at other upscale NYC restaurants. Of course, when you add the significant supplement for white truffles (as is the case in other upscale restaurants) + wine, tax & tip, the cost does mount. When we do tastings, I drink very little, so my husband always does pairings.
We had perfect service at Corton. I'm curious to know what problems you encountered.
After I posted, I took some time to look at the menus. Great that they offer a big selection of "virgin" cocktails. I'm inclined to go with the 7-course because it has some options that interest me which are not included in the 3- or 5-course. But we shall see. I also looked at the video of Tre's appearance on the CBS morning show (I don't watch morning t.v.). We've experienced the g.m. technique using nitrous oxide with regard to cocktails. I'm looking forward to having a dessert prepared that way tableside. When we go, I will definitely report back with, of course, photos.
re: RGR
That totally accounts for the Corton costs ($310 + $80 for truffles + a drink + tax/tip = ~$500).
The service at Corton was rushed and uninformative on my visit. They brought the dishes which were very complicated and had many different elements, and then identified one element and then ran off. Sometimes the runners had such thick accents that I didn't even know what they said. More than at any other meal, I really felt like I needed a roadmap to each dish, some of which had 12 different components on a couple different plates. It was fun that they would do a presentation, plate, sprinkle, pour, and crumble onto the dishes, and much of it was really good, but most of the time, I had no idea what I was eating. Based on your experience, maybe mine was an off night, but I really felt lost and overwhelmed throughout the meal (not my usual state of mind, particularly at a restaurant!).
I don't drink either so the mocktails at Adara were great for me. The best for flavor was the Nude Buddha--interesting and yummy with the fennel predominating, but the Tulsi was the most fun experience (you mix it and then it's got bits of galanga and lychee caviar that leap up the straw into your mouth, plus there's a foam on top).
We didn't experience any tableside preparations at Adara, but that would have been fun. The service was very engaged. Very much looking forward to your report!
re: StevenCinNYC
I can fully understand being overwhelmed by the complexities of Liebrandt's cuisine. Our servers did take the time to explain the different elements with only one instance of a server whose accent was a bit too thick to be fully understood. Not that it bothered me much. This was our third time at Corton and to be honest, even with the explanations, I've always ended up feeling that aside from a few ingredients, I really didn't know exactly what I was eating, but it was all seriously delicious. Since that to me is the ultimate bottom line, I don't get too worked up or feel at sea if I don't know all the ingredients.
I did have my eye on the Tulsi though I'm not sure about having little pieces of this or that leaping into my mouth. Looking again at the Nude Budha, its combination does sound good.
In the video, Tre was asked if the pumpkin dessert he was demonstrating is prepared tableside, and he answered that it was. I think that t.v. appearance was in October. That dessert is no longer on the menu, and maybe the current ones don't involve the use of nitrous oxide. Every time I've watched it being used, it immediately made me think of the three witches' lines in "Macbeth."

Courtesy of MTV, Whitney Port's gotten coffee and rolled calls (and racks!) for some of fashion's heaviest hitters like Lisa Love, Kelly Cutrone, and DvF, and been witness to some pretty notorious catfights — all while unforgiving cameras caught it on tape. But, there's no arguing that the brown-eyed girl handled it with go-getter grace, and her résumé's no joke, regardless of where you stand in the great reality-TV debate. By 2008, when Port launched her femme cocktail-style collection, Whitney Eve, she clearly had enough clout to go it alone.
So, cut to 2012 and Port is still going strong. Before she jets off to NYFW for the line's second runway show, we caught up with the stunner for an exclusive sneak peek of what's in store — and, of course, we got a glimpse inside her chill pad along the Venice Canals. We were pleasantly surprised at how unafraid Port was to get real (really!). After clicking through this adorable spread, we think you'll come to love Whitney unscripted, too.

Once again, Team A+ members split up to complete the many projects they had taken on. The first group worked on Galileo, preparing the tower pieces for repainting. While two students worked on sandblasting the metal pieces, two other students struggled to straighten the iron beams that had sustained damage. This proved quite a challenge, but sweat and muscle and determination prevailed.
While some group members were working on the metal pieces used for Galileo, other members operated on the throttle and controller for the electric motorcycle. After a successful dry run using light bulbs and a 50K potentiometer, heavy gauge wires were used to replace the thinner wires used for the bench test. This replacement is necessary to enable the connection of the motorcycle motor to the controller. This motor draws a lot of amps. The size of a wire is correlated to the amount of current it can carry.
Another task worked on by Team A+ was creating a prototype mount on the bike for securing the motor, batteries and controller. This task included carving different pieces of wood that would help secure the motor, batteries and controller.
The final task on June 8th, 2010 was rebuilding and testing the front braking system. After connecting the brake lines and refilling the brake fluid, the pistons appeared to be seized with rust. One volunteer will work on this problem exclusively until it is solved. After all, safely stopping the motorbike is as important as running it.

|Beautiful Fall Foliage Video
I know that now might not be the right time of year for this, but I just ran across a great fall foliage video that is enjoyable to look at no matter when you see it.
It is an unusually well done amateur video with good editing and music. Videographer Roger Shealy shot this footage last October during a visit to Burlington and Lake Champlain.
This video will inspire you to visit VT to see the foliage colors even if you have been here to see it previously. They always look great but last year was a spectacular year for color - many more red leaves than I ever remember seeing before and the orange and yellow leaves were extremely bright too. The season started early but remained a long time.
Start saving your $$$ now and plan to travel to VT and see this year's foliage show!

|Annual VT Christmas Bird Count
The Christmas Bird Count is a 109 year old event held each year all around the country. It is sometimes held on Christmas day but often takes place on other days in December and early January depending upon each local group's preferred timing. In Vermont, there are about 20 bird counting groups with the earliest counts starting December 14 and going through January 5.
This is a great way to get out and see some Vermont scenery and enjoy a day with local and out-of-state birders. You don't have to be an expert. There will be at least one experienced birder leading each group.
Detailed information about this year's count is available on the Vermont eBird.org website page. This website is a good source of information not only about the Christmas bird count but also year around information about birding in Vermont.
Two other birding websites I like are Virtual Birder (it has weekly reports of rare bird sightings around the state) and the Vermont Audubon (including links to the group's state office and local chapters).

|Another Great Megapickles VT Photograph
Today's Megapickles photograph of a Lake Champlain scene reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting - it just needs a drooping clock hanging over the tree . . .
One thing I do most every evening is go to Megapickles Photoblog (see link in this blog's right hand column), one of my all-time favorite web sites. John H is the website owner. He publishes a photo every day, usually of outdoor subjects but he switched to indoor subjects and even a self-portrait earlier this year after slipping on ice and ending up in a leg cast. Some of his recent photos around Burlington and Lake Champlain meant he had to get up well before dawn and drive around looking for opportunities before heading off to his day job. That job is as a Political Science Professor at St. Michel's College.
Not only does John post a photograph each day but also he includes a note about what music he is listening to at the moment. He has an deep affinity for classic and jazz music - his collection of albums and CD's must be staggering.
I suggest you take a few minutes to poke around his website - I'm confident you will enjoy it and appreciate the amount of work that goes into it. There are many brilliantly composed and rendered photographs there.

|More on Dogs
Shortly after I wrote the entry below about the Dog Party at Dog Mountain, I ran across this quote which I've seen before but had not remembered for a long time. As a dog owner, it's one of my favorites:
"We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us." - Maurice Maeterlinck
Maeterlinck was a Belgian poet, playright, and Nobel Prize winner who lived 1862 to 1949.

|Spectacular Foliage Today
I took a quick snapshot this afternoon of the hillside across the street. The foliage colors this year are magnificent. If you ever wanted to travel to Vermont to see the fall colors, you couldn't do any better than this year. Some of the upper elevations are a little past peak but still look very good and some areas have yet to peak. You still have time.

|Here is Why I Live in Vermont
Brewster River photograph from my favorite photoblog: Megapickles . . . see the September 16, 2008 entry.
The Brewster River runs north down from Spruce Peak to the town of Jeffersonville VT where it empties into the Lamoille River.
More Brewster River photos are available here.
There is a widely photographed falls you can find in Brewster River Gorge. Locally, it is sometimes called Jefferson Falls.
If you want to fish the area, stop by an excellent little fly shop called Green Mountain Troutfitters to arrange for a guide, get the current flies, etc.
Be sure to drive Route 108 from Jeffersonville to Stowe or the opposite way from Stowe to Jeffersonville. It goes through an area called Smugglers Notch and it is one of the prettiest drives in Vermont.

"Nashville" and "Polka" aren't often connected in the minds of the general public, but Music City actually has quite a polka history, in large part because of the enthusiasm of two late polka lovers, maverick producer and record executive Steve Popovich and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Cowboy Jack Clement.
Polka enthusiast Popovich actually signed polka star Frank Yankovic to a major record label contract in the 1980s, and he was a friend and supporter of Nashville polka folks including Grammy winner Joey Miskulin and five-time Grammy nominee LynnMarie Rink. Clement was often called "Nashville's Polka King," and in 1986 he produced Yankovic's "Polka Pandemonium" concert at 3rd and Lindsley: The resulting recording was released on albums as "America's Polka King."
Steve Popovich Jr. is reviving the "Polka Pandemonium" show on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 3rd and Lindsley, with Brave Combo taking the stage at 7 p.m. ($15, www.3rdandlindsley.com). The show will be a polka bash and a celebration of Popovich and Clement's myriad contributions. Oh, and Rink plays her own polka show on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. at The Pavilion, 1530 Demonbreun ($20 at the door benefits the Bellevue YMCA Full Circle Program and includes sausages and pierogies.)

Spy Hard
Fearless, sophisticated and debonair, Agent WD-40, a.k.a. Steele--Dick Steele, was The Agency's star spy until he left after his true love, a fellow agent, literally slipped through his fingers during a battle with the evil General Rancor, Steele's longtime nemesis. Steele is lured back to active service when he receives an urgent message from The Agency's Director. General Rancor, the megalomaniacal madman presumed dead after losing two limbs in an explosive altercation with Steele fifteen years earlier, is alive! He's mad as hell--armless--but still dangerous, and Steele is the only man who can get a leg up on him and stop his diabolical scheme for global power. Steele is joined in his pursuit of Rancor by the beautiful, mysterious Agent 3.14, and together they elude Rancor's henchmen, escape speeding vehicles, avoid booby traps and thwart kidnap attempts (and have time for a little dining and dancing) as they make their way to General Rancor's lair.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Comfort Letter Guidance
What Are Comfort Letters?
What Type of Site Typically Needs a Comfort Letter?
What Role Do States Play in Making the Determination?
How Does EPA Assess the Degree of "Comfort"?
Sample Comfort Letter
What Are Comfort Letters?
"Comfort letters" are letters written by EPA New England that clarify for a site owner, lending institution, or other interested party, the likelihood of EPA listing a particular CERCLIS site on the National Priorities List (NPL). The need for a comfort letter usually arises when CERCLIS site owners attempt to sell or refinance their property. The fact that the site is listed in CERCLIS and the potential liability implied by that listing can become an obstacle to such transactions.
It is hoped that EPA comfort letters will assist in combating the "stigma" of a CERCLIS listing (the fear of a potential NPL listing and CERCLA liability can impede voluntary cleanups at CERCLIS sites). By clarifying EPA New England's intentions with regard to a particular CERCLIS site, comfort letters emphasize the lead role of the state Agency in site investigation and remediation, and help eliminate duplication of effort between the state and federal programs. Most importantly, timely environmental gains are realized through the cleanup, including redevelopment and beneficial reuse of any CERCLIS properties that are not strong candidates for the NPL and subsequent Superfund program remediation.
What Type of Site Typically
Needs a Comfort Letter?
Comfort letters would be issued for sites that are ineligible for a NFRAP (No Further Remedial Action Planned) decision and have been assigned a low priority for further work under the EPA New England Superfund program. Comfort letters clarify for the owner that no further steps will be taken to list the site on the NPL. Comfort letters are not a release from possible CERCLA liability, but are an attempt to clearly and realistically describe EPA's intentions with regard to the property in question.
What Role Do States
Play in Making the Determination?
The states must play a central role in setting site priorities and determining whether a particular site warrants a comfort letter. EPA New England will not issue a comfort letter for any site without first receiving a letter of request from the state. Site owners or other interested parties requesting a comfort letter from EPA New England will be referred to the appropriate state agency.
If the state agrees that a comfort letter is appropriate for a particular site, the state should make a written recommendation to EPA affirming (as a minimum) that:
1. In the state's opinion, the site is not an appropriate candidate for listing and no further steps should be taken to list the site on the NPL.
2. Based upon the state's knowledge of the historical and current conditions of the site, it is not thought to pose a substantial threat to human health or the environment. In other words, the state has assigned the site a low priority for further work.
Based upon the state's knowledge of the historical and current conditions of the site, it has been assigned a high priority for further work under the state program. In other words, the state has already invested significant resources/oversight at the site, or anticipates doing so in the future.
3. Any remedial actions which may be necessary at this site will be performed in accordance with the requirements of the state waste site cleanup program.
How Does EPA Assess
the Degree of "Comfort"?
The degree of "comfort" offered in the letters depends upon the specific circumstances of each site. EPA can respond more quickly and with stronger assurances if the request letter from the state addresses each of the following issues:
- Actual/potential threats posed by the site to public health through releases to groundwater, surface waters, air and direct contact with wastes.
- Actual/potential threats posed by the site to the environment through releases to groundwater, surface waters, air and soils.
- Current status of site in state waste site cleanup program.
- Actual/proposed mitigation efforts.
- Community expression of support for the remedial efforts planned or being conducted under the state program.

of metals CEOs say recession in the US would have a negative impact on their business.
A bleak outlook for 2013
Metals CEOs are much less optimistic than their peers in other sectors. Only 14% are very confident of revenue growth over the next twelve months. Although a third are more optimistic looking out over three years, they're still lagging far behind the sample as a whole. As a cyclical industry, metals companies get hard hit by economic downturns. That may be why significantly more metals CEOs believe that a break-up of the Eurozone, US recession or slowdown in growth in China will hurt their prospects. And other business threats like exchange rate volatility are worrisome too.
Keeping a tight rein on costs
To cope with the gloomy outlook metals CEOs are working hard to make their companies more efficient. More than half say that improving operational effectiveness is their top investment priority over the next 12 months. They're continuing to cut the fat, with 79% of metals CEOs reporting that their company implemented a cost reduction initiative in the past 12 months. More metals CEOs cut their staff numbers last year, and more cuts look likely. Some of them will be deep – 14% of metals CEOs say their companies will decrease headcount by more than 8% in the coming 12 months.
But still investing where needed
More metals CEOs are planning to increase capital investment levels this year. In addition to operational effectiveness, other top investment priorities for the next 12 months are growing the customer base, manufacturing capacity, and deals. When it comes to the latter, CEOs aren't sticking to the status quo. 72% say there will be changes at their company over the next 12 months with regards to a M&A, joint venture or strategic alliance.
Looking farther out, 60% of metals CEOs plan to increase their investments in creating and fostering their skilled workforces. Keeping those employees healthy will be a priority for 45% of them.
Facing the resource crunch
Compared to peers across the overall sample, more metals CEOs also plan to increase investments over the next three years in order to secure natural resources that are critical to business. Metals is an energy intensive industry, and 44% of CEOs are 'extremely concerned' about energy and raw material costs – far more than the overall average of 14%. Some metals CEOs would like to see support from the government. 44% believe securing natural resources that are critical to business should be one of the government's top 3 priorities.
And working together with supply chain partners
86% of metals CEOs say that supply chain partners are influencing their business strategy; that's more than across the overall sample. Of those CEOs, most also plan to increase their efforts to engage across the value chain. And 58% of metals CEOs say they're diversifying their supply chain and working with more partners across geographies. That should help offset the impact of possible supply chain disruptions. They're still a worry for about a third of metals CEOs, though.
Stepping up to the plate on sustainability
Fewer metals CEOs think that reducing poverty and inequality should be a main priority for governments, compared to the overall sample. But more (nearly half) of metals CEOs do plan to increase their own company's focus on philanthropy or social enterprise initiatives over the next 12 months (47% vs. 35%).
And even more metals CEOs–nearly two-thirds – are planning to step up efforts to reduce their organisation's environmental footprint this year. That continues a sustainability trend that we've noted in previous years.

Perhaps their strikingly different personalities make the relationship between detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles so effective. Jane, the only female cop in Boston's homicide division, is tough, relentless and rarely lets her guard down, while the impeccably dressed Maura displays a sometimes icy temperament -- she is, after all, more comfortable among the dead than the living. Together, the best friends have forged a quirky and supportive relationship; they drop the protective shield in each other's company, and combine their expertise to solve Boston's most complex cases.

"I used this birth announcement as my daughters 9 month pictures for family and friends! I loved it! The only draw back to this card was the size restraint on the text. The program kept me from making the text larger, which in turn made the text difficult to read in some areas. And when I got the product I could see that there was plenty of room for more space in the text area."
"This card is so beautiful, family members called specifically to comment on its quality. It is a treasured momento for family members! I couldn't be happier."
"Cards turned out beautifully. Picture quality was great and photos were bigger than expected. If there were anything negative to say, it would be about packaging and shipping. It took days just to package the order."
"We absolutely love the way this birth announcement came out. The quality of the card stock is great and the envelopes are nice and thick too. Everyone That we've sent the card to loves it and some have even said that they want to use the same card when they have children. Overall we are very pleased with the quality of the product and with the service received. We would highly recommend it to others."

On stage, Justin Bieber seems to stick to a motto — go big or go home. From the flocks of back-up dancers, to the dazzling pyrotechnics, to the giant metallic wings he's been wearing during his Believe tour, Bieber has proven himself a master of stage spectacle. And it's a title he's sure to defend in what the AMAs' official Twitter account calls "a performance you don't want to miss!"

This item is great for holding a few shoes, placing odd items in the trays and great cushioned bench for seating while you put on/remove shoes...I think I just have too many shoes...I mainly use this to put all our slippers in and some "around the house" shoes. It looks nicer than most other shoe racks as a furniture piece but if you have a lot of shoes that you change in/out of (like me) then maybe invest in a couple other shoe racks around the home - for practicality - in addition to this aesthetically appealing one (that's what I did, much to my husband's dismay). My 2 year old LOVES taking her shoes off now when she enters the house! 5 stars for that alone.

Are the badware baddies trying to target a new audience?
Got this e-mailed in from a reader, so wanted to spread the word. Can never be too careful these days.
BitDefender has identified this new bit of holiday cheer as Trojan.PWS.ChromeInject.A" (the ChromeInject suffix refers to the Chrome component of Firefox). The trojan installs itself into Firefox's add-on directory, registers itself as Greasemonkey, and begins searching your hard drive for passwords, login details, your World of WarCraft account information, and your library card number.
You can read more about the situation over at ars technica. The real Greasemonkey is still malware-free and is totally safe to use. This trojan in question isn't even the Greasemonkey script. It just calls itself that to try to trick you down download it. This seems to be a pretty stupid move from the trojan writers though, due to the fact that Firefox users who use Greasemoney (I would say) have a little higher Internet intelligence than your average punch a monkey to win a iPod person.

Woodward vs. The White House
Bob Woodward has written an editorial in today's Washington Post in which he states that President Obama is "moving the goal posts" by asking "that a substitute for the sequester include not just spending cuts but also new revenue" -- an accusation that has drawn strong blowback from the White House.
"There has never been any question that the President seeking revenues as part of a plan to replace the automatic cuts ... was expected from the very beginning in the 2011 fiscal negotiations and the passage of the Budget Control Act," a White House official writes in a two-page memo, sent to POLITICO's Mike Allen. "That the President today is seeking a balanced plan to replace it with revenues and entitlement reforms cannot in even the slightest way be considered a change of policy, a change of expectations, or moving the goalposts."
Woodward responds in an email to Allen: "The White House pushback is a classic case of distortion and confusion. We unfortunately have seen this too often in recent presidential history."

I had a wonderful time in this destination together with my friends and can recommend the place to everybody.
Coron, Palawan: The Cheapest, Best Holiday Ever
Loading Map
From Manila we took a flight to Busuanga (Coron airport) via Zest Air. Aboard the craft as we looked outside the window we were surprised to see the grandeur of scattered islands surrounded by white sandy beaches which gave me a hint that these might be the ones featured in the Department of Tourism's WOW Philippines: It's More than the Usual tourism campaign ad way back 2003 in the "Island" category. To be truly captivated here's my justification. Click on the the link to see the video (courtesy of DOT) What I witnessed was as stunning as this:
In Busuanga Airport leaflets and brochures comprising hotels, pension houses, and backpacker inns; native and theme restaurants; to tour packages were properly distributed with abundant and of quality choices although,as per my observation a common facility establishment problem that I considered was the dirty and uncomfortable restroom
We never made a room reservation in order for us to experience the real holiday island trip and we ended looking for one after a couple of hours because we never thought that that month of February was a peak season. The inns seemed to be close to each other so it was not really difficult to search for a room, and likewise tricycles were seemingly available all the time on the streets with a fare of P10.00 per passenger. We found Amphibi-ko Resort adorned with native Filipino materials that was obviously inviting. We stayed there for a night for P1,200.00 including breakfast. The rate was supposed to be P1500.00 but because the power only ran from 6 pm-6 am we were able to avail a discount. The resort was pretty in nature and the facilities were well-maintained and apparently simply at par excellence for the said price. There was a free wi-fi connection; breakfast was great; friendly employees and they also served Japanese cuisine. We stayed on the second level of the resort and we realized that at daytime there was no water for there was no power to run the water pressure, it was not nice to stay sweaty and sun-scented the whole hot day without taking a shower so we moved out and there we found the Mommita's Lodge
Mommita's Lodge was actually a second choice because no private toilet in each room was offered, rather only common toilet and shower. But as we saw it, it was tidy and well-kept. For an overnight stay rate of P600.00, we found it worthwhile. The good thing did not end there for we found out that a meal rate of P200.00/head was also offered. Mommita's Inn was considered an ancestral house turned into an inn run by the very accommodating Mommita herself with her friendly staff. I guess for a breakfast of P200.00 of fried rice, fresh fish, fried eggs, tocino and fresh tomatoes with coffee served by the hospitable staff was not really bad. It was an American-service style but served with authentic Filipino home-made cuisine, same with lunch and dinner but with fresh seafood like: jumbo, gigantic prawns, squids, fat crabs, smoked fish served up on the second floor in the cozy, private terrace of the inn, again, prepared by the staff.
Mommita also organized us a private island-hopping trip to Banana Island and Malcapuya Island costing us P850/head together with her very accommodating staff who served us lunch and snacks during our full day trip. In Mommita's Inn we felt like royalties during our entire stay served with comfort and warm Filipino hospitality
The Banana Island was such a small island but its size doesn't equate the various activities that can be done here. We had spoken to the island owner while she was weaving and surprisingly she mentioned that the island offered an overnight stay via renting a nipa hut that could accommodate 3, 4, or even 5 guests with native beds each equipped with the old school mosquito nets. We were quite exhausted and fantasized of having a summer escapade by drinking a fresh coconut. We had been served all for free! Moving on, I walked around and I discovered that there was so much things to do on the island like beach volleyball, kayaking and of course snorkeling. Here we very much enjoyed snorkeling for we had seen schools of fish of various colors, textures, and shapes. Since fishes were seemed to be so timid, a certain staff advised us to provide them with tiny bits of bread should you like to feel them and see them close up. Yes we did and they all came to us. The good thing about this island is that, the fishes are abundant and could even be seen on the shalow water by the shore. I will do this trip again. Macky took us some photos underwater while feeding the fishes and you are able to see these photos at the bottom of my blog and you might come up with a plan of exploring this island yourself.
We had our lunch at Malcapuya Island
Talking about the places where we went to, first day was just fun to see the entire 360 degrees view of the entire island by way of climbing up Mt. Tapyas with approximately 750-800 steps which was a good excercise (burn those carbs baby!). Right after that we headed to the Maquinit Hot Springs to freshen up and relax. It was a very refreshing experience bathing and soaking your tired body on a natural hot springs which was also open to cater guests even in the evening. From Mt. Tapyas to Maquinit Hot Springs we made an agreement with the tricycle driver to wait for us while enjoying those happy moments for a rate of P500.00. Do try to bargain with the tricycle driver. Right after, we had a sumptuous dinner in a Thai-Filipino resto somewhere in the town plaza where I tasted a lovely Thai green curry. We had an early night for the next day's island-hopping trip.
The highlight of Coron trip was the island-hopping which we availed from Mr. Al Linsangan whom he had his own tour office with various tour options. What we chose was the package of Cayangan Lake, CYC Island, Twin Lagoon of divided hot and cold waters, and two different coral gardens
As we were sailing, beautiful scattered islands caught our attention and we were left in awe as if we were just watching the National Geographic Channel featuring the most beautiful places on earth, most especially when we reached the Cayangan Lake. But before reaching the Cayangan Lake, we needed to go across the mountain. Halfway through to the lake was the mountain's viewdeck, there we witnessed a perfect view, a view that was so panoramic. A view that I thought could only be seen in the post cards of Coron, Palawan that brings a peace of mind of a clear blue sky, emerald crytal clear water and enormous spectacular limestones.
Next stop: Twin Lagoon. From the name itself, the Twin Lagoon comprises two lagoons separated by a rock formation. The first one was where we docked, that I consider the outer; and the second where we were required to climb up a six-foot high bamboo ladder toward the inner lagoon enveloped by the limestones in order for us to experience its distinct characteristic of having a hot and cold water in a lone lagoon
and suddenly shiver embraced my entire body, the water was cold. As I moved to the center, the palpable transition from cold to hot water temperature filled my body with a certain degree of wellness and relaxation. My partner felt so happy for this extraordinary lagoon and even stated "We should spend a whole day here." Snorkelling is not really advisable to do here, but a mere floating is strongly suggested while watching those towering limestones, the lush greens and the clear water entwined with the peaceful sound of the chirping birds..
However, of all the islands in this trip that I got really disappointed to was the CYC Beach. I wondered how was this badly treated. It was dumped by garbage of various people who previously visited and that theory was based on my observation during that time wherein there was another group of locals who had been there before we came watching how they just dumped their garbage in one point on the island. Likewise bonfire marks could be observed around the island. However, to refrain myself from pessimism about the reality, the trip emerged to be so lovely and memorable.
My European partner was extremely happy that we visited Coron, Palawan for he himself was definitely amazed by the natural wonders it offers not to forget the warm Filipino hospitality given by Mommita and the villagers. He even keeps on talking to his friends his memorable experience he had to his friends in Europe and just a month ago, five of his friends visited it and had exactly the same fun experience. For my Filipino friends and I, we also felt the extreme fun we have been looking for in a certain tourist destination, but what makes me much extremely happier is the happiness that I shared to foreign visitors who find our country as WOW as a paradise.

Your blog is really enticing. I have been captivated by your great photos and alluring experience you've shared. nature is really a magnificent craft molded by Him..
Awesome! Great place & wonderful people to be with! Until next time... Now, you just made me miss Coron & wanna go back... Let's go back!
It's really a lovely place, a place that I am so much proud of.... I guess we have been to 5 different islands then, we should visit the 999 remaining....
Nice one Paul! I will definitely visit the place when i go back home! continue exploring the beauty of the Philippines!
cheers from germany!
Hi! I just would like to ask how much in total did it cost you to stay and enjoy Coron? You were three, right? I and my friends are planning to go there in September, and I am currently going blogs over blogs I can find. LOL.
Nice blog, indeed! I felt excited. :)
Thanks in advance, and I hope to hear from you soon..
Am sorry, I must have overlooked... You were four, hehe. We are going there in a group of 4 as well so your inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! :))
Hi Khay,
It was really unexpected to achieve a trip as best as this.... more significantly as cheap as this (too good to be true!).
As far as I remember and if i'm not mistaken, each one of us brought out roughly P4k-P5k for that long stay including the airfare for we were able to avail Zest Air's promo (though Cebupac is strongly recommended).
You will definitely enjoy Coron, however as per geographical facts, please do expect rainy days and pitching while you are aboard the motorboat during your island-hopping activity for September is a monsoon season; though I know you will find ways to make your tour worthwhile.
Kindly share with me your future Coron blog... I am anticipating for that. :-D
I look forward to your fun and enjoyment as you explore one of the Philippines' natural wonders.
Hi again! Thank you so much for your tips.
I will get back to you as soon as I get back from our much-awaited tour of the year.
Stay safe! :)

Taco Seasoning
Taco night was always one of my favorites when growing up and the key to good tacos is the tasty taco seasoned meat. When I was growing up tacos always meant one of those store bought taco seasoning packets which I remember fondly. I was taking a look at the ingredients in one of those taco seasoning packets recently and I noticed some surprising ingredients including a few that I had trouble pronouncing. I immediatly decided to try making my own and after a quick search I found this recipe for a taco seasoning on All Recipes . For the chili powder I used freshly toasted and ground dried chilies. I like to do it this way as I can choose which chilies to use and change the flavour and heat profile of the chili powder. I also used freshly toasted and ground cumin seeds as toasting them brings out their flavour and aroma. The taco seasoning turned out great! It was not the same as I remembered the packaged seasoning but it was really good! I definitely won't be going back to the packages.
Taco Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (toasted and ground dried chilies)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons cumin (toasted and ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Mix everything.

The Charles County Sheriff's Office will place a mobile speed camera at Malcolm Elementary School in Waldorf in the second week of December, making it the fourth county school where the cameras currently are authorized.
A traffic study determined that the number of people speeding through Malcolm's school zone qualified it for a speed camera, agency spokeswoman Diane Richardson said. The camera will be at the school between Dec. 9 and 13.
The department's three mobile speed cameras already are allowed at William B. Wade Elementary School in Waldorf, and at Maurice J. McDonough High School and Dr. James Craik Elementary School in Pomfret.
The agency suspended its speed camera program in August after it was informed by the State Highway Administration that one of the cameras had been placed 300 feet outside of the posted school zone at Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer Elementary School on Berry Road in Waldorf. Along with suspending the program, the sheriff's office elected to refund about $137,000 covering the 3,445 paid citations that had been issued as a result of speeding violations at Jenifer. The agency is "at the tail end" of refunding those citations, Richardson said.
The program, which began in August 2012, started back up Sept. 2 at Wade, McDonough and Craik, all of which sit on county roads. Each week, the sheriff's office rotates the cameras and posts their location on its Facebook page, according to a news release.
Eventually the sheriff's office plans to add Thomas Stone High School, Mattawoman Middle School and Berry Elementary School in Waldorf, and General Smallwood Middle School in Indian Head back into the rotation, but first needs to reapprove each site because they sit on state roads, Richardson said.
In addition, the department is conducting the requisite traffic studies to expand its speed camera program to other school zones, the release states.
The cameras are active between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday in the designated school zones, the exception being Wade, where the cameras are on between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Drivers must be traveling 12 mph above the speed limit in order to trigger the camera. A violation carries a $40 fine but no license points, issued to the offending vehicle's registered owner.

People: You do realize that he played QB in high school, right? It's not like he *just* started playing the position in college...
I think that if he is there guy then you take him. Let everything else play out. It will take a long a-- time to find a great QB in the later round like we have been. Now i am not saying that any of these Qb will be great but you can not keep looking in the late round and hoping to find a jem.
Luck in not guarateed to be All Pro, neither is RG3. So of course, there's no guarantee with Tannehill either but when it comes to a starting QB for Miami, my only question is; If not now, when? Draft RT and let him, Philbin and Sherman get to work...for now, maybe, but for the future for sure.
Do you guys remember all the phin fans on here who got SUPER upset when we didn't draft Quinn, even though most of us who know football knew he sucked?
I hope that happens again tonight.
what I find funny is Tannehill has been a projected potential 1st rounder for most of the year, and people think that he's a risk

WASHINGTON (MCT) — About sundown one Sunday in September, North Dakota farmer Steven Jensen noticed that his combine was running over wet, squishy earth in a wheat field he was harvesting. When he took a closer look, he saw that oil had coated the wheels and that it was bubbling up about 6 inches high in spots.
That was Sept. 29; Jensen contacted authorities immediately. At least 20,600 barrels of oil leaked onto the Jensens' land from a pipeline owned by Tesoro Logistics, one of the largest land-based spills in recent history. Neither the pipeline company nor the state informed the public of the spill for 11 days.
Since then, why there was a delay in disclosure has proved to be one of several fundamental questions that Tesoro and state authorities have yet to answer. No one knows how long the pipeline was leaking before Jensen discovered it, nor why sensors on the pipe failed to detect the leak. Neither the state nor the company could say what the pipeline's capacity was. Experts on pipeline spills question the accuracy of Tesoro's leak estimate, disputing its methodology.
Jensen estimates that more than 20 acres have been affected by the spill and cleanup effort. He says Tesoro appears to be working hard to contain the spill, but he worries that it could seep into groundwater.
The questions have stirred concerns about North Dakota's handling of a major spill, especially because thousands of miles of pipe are being installed as part of the state's oil boom.
"If there is a spill of any sort, the public should be told immediately, so that they have confidence that their officials are responding appropriately," said Mac Schneider, a Democrat from Grand Forks and the minority leader in the state Senate. Schneider said he knew only what he "read in the papers."
Tesoro said it sent a news release about the spill on Oct. 10. Kris Roberts, who is leading the North Dakota Health Department's work with Tesoro on the cleanup, said the state saw no need to publicize the spill immediately because the site was remote.
"It's on top of a low hill, in the middle of a wheat field, in an area with no residents at all," Roberts said. "The public has a right to know. But do I have a responsibility to run out and tell the public every time there's a spill that isn't going to threaten them or the environment, and that the company is aggressively cleaning up?"
The North Dakota spill comes amid a national debate over granting a federal permit to the giant Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport tar sands oil from Canada to Texas. In March, an Exxon pipeline burst in Mayflower, Ark., spewing about 5,000 barrels of oil into a subdivision and a lake. In Michigan, cleanup continues on a spill of more than 20,000 barrels of oil into the Kalamazoo River that occurred in mid-2010.
Jensen smelled the oil in the wheat field before he saw it, raising questions about how long the pipe had been leaking.
On Sept. 25, as Jensen was harvesting two miles from in his home in Tioga, he smelled what he thought was oil drilling at a nearby property. Bad weather kept him away from the field until the 29th, when he drove across the oil-soaked section.
The 35-mile-long Tesoro pipeline, which carries oil from Tioga to a rail depot near Columbus, N.D., was laid 20 years ago, meaning it is relatively new.
