Yesterday, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) accounting and management of natural gas emissions on onshore federal lands. Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) issued the following statement:
"BLM is supposed to prohibit venting and flaring except under limited circumstances. This report found that the vast majority of requests for venting and flaring are due to infrastructure limitations," Bishop said. "There's no denying that infrastructure is the key to the solution which the BLM continues to ignore."
According to GAO's report: "The vast majority of the requests cited limitations with existing infrastructure as the reason the operators needed to vent or flare gas, such as constrained pipeline capacity or problems with receiving gas plants."
"The Administration's lackluster accounting standards, failure to enforce existing rules and unwavering pursuit of harmful regulations are causing more problems rather than fixing them," Bishop added.
BLM's bureaucratic delays for pipeline rights-of-way permitting remain a major contributing factor to methane flaring. The BLM manual says they aim to process rights-of-way permits within 60 days. However, according to BLM's own data, not a single area has met the 60-day deadline.
GAO's report, "Interior Could Do More to Account for and Manage Natural Gas Emissions," can be viewed here.
Additional Highlights:
Page 13: "… BLM's proposed methane and waste reduction regulations […] contain no guidance on how to estimate or measure natural gas emissions below those thresholds."
Page 16: "BLM's proposed methane and waste reduction regulations do not alter OGOR [Oil and Gas Operations Report] categories operators should use to report flared gas."
Page 17: "In its proposed regulations, BLM has not provided additional guidance to operators on which activities should be included under the natural gas emissions reporting categories on the OGOR."
Page 18: "BLM has approved operators' requests to vent or flare gas royalty-free without having the documentation its guidance requires."
Page 27: "Since Interior […] has limited guidance on how to report natural gas emissions, it cannot yet consistently account for these emissions on federal leases."Read More
Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) removed the lesser prairie chicken from the list of threatened and endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in response to a 2015 court ruling. The ruling vacated FWS's decision to list the species as threatened. FWS also announced it will initiate another evaluation of the species using the same listing methods. Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) issued the following statement:
"The Obama Administration has been merciless in its quest to list species—even when the court says otherwise. The Fish & Wildlife Service has fast-tracked hundreds of ESA listings without credible science through settlement agreements behind closed doors. When they are ordered by a court to revisit one of their merit-less listings, they plow ahead with the same agenda-driven methods. The Department of the Interior has demonstrated their complete lack of credibility on the Endangered Species Act and the dire need for ESA reform. Only time will tell if this is anything more than a temporary, court-ordered reprieve for the Administration, before they revert back to the same old ways."
In 2011, the Obama Administration negotiated and agreed to two litigation settlements involving petitions by two national environmental organizations, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and the WildEarth Guardians (WEG) to make hundreds of species listings and designate critical habitat decisions under the ESA through more than 85 lawsuits and legal actions. These settlements mandate that over 250 candidate species must be reviewed for final listing as either threatened or endangered within specific deadlines. The lesser prairie chicken, found throughout 62,000 square miles on the prairies of Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico, is one of the most sweeping listings included in the 2011 mega-settlements.In 2015, the Western District of Texas vacated the listing on the grounds that FWS's decision was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and failed to properly evaluate existing conservation efforts by states.

Today, House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT), Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Representative Bruce Westerman (R-AR) participated in a press call to discuss pending wildfire and forest management legislation (H.R. 2647 / S. 3085).
Click here to listen to a recording of the call.
"Last year, more than 10 million acres went up in smoke due to decades of unmanaged forests and our government spending more on fighting fires and special interest groups in court than managing the forests in scientifically-proven ways," Rep. Westerman stated during the call.
Members outlined concerns with inadequate federal efforts to reduce the concentration of hazardous fuels in overgrown forests. The Forest Service is currently treating just 1% of the forest lands that the agency has identified as high-risk and susceptible to wildfires.
In reference to H.R. 2647 and S. 3085, Bishop stated: "this framework gives agencies a responsible budget fix and the tools they've been calling for to finally begin treating forests at a pace and scale that is needed to protect our communities."
For basic treatments or a routine thinning project, an Environmental Impact Statement can cost the Forest Service a minimum of a million dollars and over 3 years to complete. "With its current, woefully inadequate and expensive self-imposed process, it's no wonder the Forest Service currently treats just 3 million out of 60 million acres at high risk to wildfire," Bishop stated.
"We need a new strategy that focuses on scientifically based, sustainable forestry management," Rep. Westerman stated. "To do this, we'll have to rein in frivolous lawsuits that regrettably have become the tool of choice for small groups with special interests. With proper management and new provisions for catastrophic events, we can end fire-borrowing in a cost-effective manner."
"As the loss of life, property and environmental damage grows, we cannot afford to just throw more money at the problem. We must address the root cause," Bishop stated.
On July 9, 2015, H.R. 2647 (Rep. Westerman), the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015, passed the House. The bipartisan bill would address the growing threat of catastrophic wildfire by simplifying environmental process requirements, reducing project planning times, and expanding forest management flexibility to improve the health and resiliency of our forests.
On June 22, 2016, U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, introduced S. 3085, the Emergency Wildfire and Forest Management Act of 2016. Similar to the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015, S. 3085 proposes a responsible solution to "fire-borrowing" with much needed reforms to improve forest heath on federal lands.Click here to view a summary of H.R. 2647.

Today, the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing on the status of Ivanpah and other federal loan-guaranteed solar energy projects on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands.
The Obama Administration has subsidized billions of taxpayer dollars in renewable energy projects that have significantly underperformed, killed federally protected birds and destroyed the habitats of endangered species.
"It seems that in spite of improved technologies, billions of dollars-worth of federal tax credits, and government mandates that force utilities into solar power purchase agreements, the cost and efficiency of solar energy is still not competitive with hydro, nuclear, coal and natural gas," Subcommittee Chairman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said. "And Americans repeatedly pay the price in a system where the government chooses winners and losers."
The $2.2 billion Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System facility on the California-Nevada state line was made possible by a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee. Even though this facility is owned by companies worth hundreds of billions — Google, NRG Energy and Brightsource Energy — the project was almost fully financed by federal subsidies.
"Ivanpah is an example of big-government programs benefitting big and influential economic actors for preferred projects," David Kreutzer, PhD, Senior Research Fellow in Energy Economics and Climate Change at the Heritage Foundation, said.
Panel members discussed their frustration with the Administration's apparent double standard between renewable energy facilities and other economic activities on federal lands. For an expensive source of electricity generation, solar projects enjoy preferential treatment in leasing, financing and law enforcement.
"[T]he problem with the Administration's actions with regard to solar leasing is that contrary to claims that the Administration has an 'all-of-the-above' policy, the Administration has been antagonistic towards natural gas, oil and coal production on federal lands," Daniel Simmons, Vice President for Policy at the Institute for Energy Research, stated.
Ironically, Ivanaph relies on nonrenewable energy to reheat the facility's water necessary to turn sunlight into energy. In fact, natural gas use accounts for substantially more than the five percent limit for electricity production codified in their contract, according to Kreutzer.
Of the very few questions Michael Nedd, Assistant Director for Energy Minerals and Realty Management for the BLM, could answer, he acknowledged that Ivanpah has killed hundreds of protected migratory birds. Violations of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act carry a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a $15,000 fine per bird, but no such accountability exists.

Only "you can prevent forest fires." That's what Smokey Bear would have you believe, anyway.
But America's anti-wildfire mascot identifies only part of the equation. While visitors to the great outdoors can tamp out campfires or refrain from tossing cigarettes into dry leaves, the federal government, as manager of millions of national acreage, also has a role.
But decades of bad land-management decisions and poor public policy keeps burning America — in a literal sense.
Large-scale wildfires in this country occur predominately in national forests, national recreation areas and other federal lands. A wildfire in Lovell Canyon that burned about 400 acres just west of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area late last month was no exception. Nor were the forest fires that ravaged parts of Washington, Wyoming and Colorado over the past month. And let's not forget about the series of recent fires that torched large swaths of federal lands in California.
The nearly unlimited supply of fuel on federal lands helps explain the scorching of millions of acres every year.
America's national forests began as a federal project to ensure the country had a sustainable supply of timber. National forests were supposed to be thinned regularly by logging, then replanted. By the 1980s, national forests provided about a quarter of America's softwood lumber.
Since then, however, a mixture of senseless regulations, the persistent threat of lawsuits, pressures from environmental extremists and bad management decisions have left national forests and other federal lands largely untouched. Logging has been in steep decline on government lands and federal land administrators have been discouraged from thinning trees and brush with machines or through controlled burns.
As a result, national forests and other federal lands are packed with an overabundance of dead and dying trees and dry undergrowth, perfect fuel for catastrophic wildfires.
According to the Property and Environment Research Center, a Montana-based environmental think tank, "In the national forests, annual new forest growth approximates 20 billion board feet per year nationwide. Tree mortality removes 10 billion board feet per year. Timber harvests and mechanical wood removals take out another 3 million board feet per year. Prescribed burning eliminates 1 billion board feet annually, but all this leaves 6 billion board feet that is very likely to burn in a forest fire some day."
Washington's hands-off approach has led to about 7 million acres a year going up in smoke. These uncharacteristically dense forests "fuel devastating fires that burn at a much higher intensity than historic levels, killing entire forest stands," center researchers found.
Oftentimes, according to former U.S. Forest Service forestry technician Alison Berry, it would be best to let wildfires burn, particularly when they pose no threat to private land, endangered species or people. This approach, Mr. Berry points out, "returns nutrients to soils, reduces thick undergrowth that can fuel a fire, encourages growth of older fire-resistant trees, and promotes establishment of new seedlings."
Monitoring wildfires also costs about 80 percent less than trying to put them out, not an insignificant factor, given that fire suppression costs taxpayers about $2.5 billion a year.
The federal approach to wildfires is backward. Washington bureaucrats shun logical fire prevention methods such as logging, thinning and managed burns, then risk lives and pour billions of dollars into trying to put out fires that should be allowed to burn.
Until the federal government changes its approach to land management, more and more of America's national forests and other public lands will be needlessly destroyed by preventable wildfires.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2017, by a 231-196 vote. Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) released the following statement:
"Executive overreach from this Administration is in overdrive as the President's second term nears an end. They've prioritized their regulatory regime over the American people. With that, there is a need for Congress to reassert the power of the purse. Through this legislation we limit the seemingly endless list of regulatory attacks on domestic natural resource development."
H.R. 5538 includes policies and funding limitations to:
Today, the House Committee on Natural Resources held a markup on eight bills including H.R. 5577 (Rep. Garret Graves, R-LA), the Innovation in Offshore Leasing Act, which modernizes the Bureau of Ocean Management's offshore leasing process through the use of internet-based oil and natural gas lease sales. H.R. 5577 passed as part of a broader unanimous consent package.
"This bill is an important improvement to the federal government's ancient process for offshore oil and gas leasing. I applaud the work of Rep. Graves in developing an innovative framework for an outdated process," Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) said.
Currently, the Secretary of the Interior conducts sealed-bid lease sales for offshore oil and natural gas leasing, in which bids are opened and read aloud in the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Transitioning to internet-based technologies will bring greater efficiency and transparency to the Department of the Interior's offshore leasing process.
"This is a step forward for taxpayers. It's a change that makes sense, plain and simple. My 6 year old uses the internet – the government should embrace this change," Rep. Graves stated. "It will save taxpayers money, increase transparency for the public and level the playing field so that businesses access the opportunity in the Gulf. Most importantly, the increased competition for offshore energy will maximize value of this important public resource."
H.R. 5577 is one piece of legislation in the Innovation Initiative spearheaded by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R-NC). The initiative seeks to remove government-made obstacles to innovation and bring government into the 21st Century.
"The process to lease federal land could be the poster child for inefficiencies and outdated processes that frustrate Americans' interaction with government. The Innovation Initiative was designed to streamline government programs to bring them into the 21st Century and I am thrilled Representative Garrett Graves has introduced this legislation," Leader McCarthy said.Click here to learn more about H.R. 5577.

Today, the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources held a legislative hearing on H.R. 2663, the Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act of 2015, which aims to streamline and facilitate increased development of renewable energy on federal land.
H.R. 2663 advances an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy by addressing the burdens facing solar, wind and geothermal energy development on federal lands. It provides regulatory certainty for developers and ensures a fair return for states and taxpayers.
"Unfortunately, energy development on our public lands has been hampered repeatedly by regulatory and bureaucratic red tape, as well as costly lawsuits with dubious goals […]. It comes as no surprise the renewable industry regards the permitting process on federal land as being 'substantially more difficult to pursue than permitting on private lands,'" Subcommittee Chairman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) said.
From a county made up of 75% federal lands, Mohave County, AZ Supervisor Buster Johnson talked about his frustration with the protracted federal permitting process.
"Simply put, there is no reason for the BLM to take several years to permit a project when our county offices can issue permits in weeks," Johnson said.
Josh Nordquist, Director of Business Development for Ormat Technologies, Inc., discussed obstacles facing the geothermal federal permitting process citing a "greater set of obligations."
"[W]e believe that this bill can help unlock new projects to create high-paying, long term jobs and baseload, emission-free power production," Nordquist stated.
The bill also establishes a new revenue structure which would distribute royalties to affected states, affected counties, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the "Renewable Energy Resource Conservation Fund." The new Fund serves to mitigate the impacts of renewable development on federal land.
"The Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act presents a valuable, bipartisan opportunity to spur renewable energy development on public lands in a way that maximizes benefits to states, counties and the people who use public lands," Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) said. "This proactive solution brings wind and solar energy more in line with the way other forms of energy development are permitted, creating greater long-term certainty. Additionally, it would direct revenues so that states and counties receive their fair share, so that hunting and fishing opportunities can be enhanced while permits can be processed more efficiently."Click here to view full witness testimony.

Today, the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources held an oversight hearing on the opportunities and challenges in developing the Mancos Shale of western Colorado, which constitutes the second largest gas reserve in the U.S. behind the Marcellus Shale.
A June 2016 report by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) found that the Mancos Shale contains more than 66 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 74 million barrels of shale oil and 45 million barrels of natural gas liquids. These reserves are more than 40 times the original 2003 assessment.
"For rural Colorado and other neighboring states, this could be a game-changing opportunity for decades to come, as long as federal policies allow for responsible development. An unpredictable federal regulatory environment and arbitrary federal actions will chase investment from states with federal land to those without federal land. And, in many cases, will chase investment to other countries," Subcommittee Chairman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) said.
The report changes the baseline assumptions for all Bureau of Land Management (BLM) leasing decisions in the area, including impending regulatory and environmental assessments for energy development. Members questioned if the BLM is planning to incorporate the report's findings into federal decision making for multiple-use areas overlying the play, but the BLM refused to send a witness.
More specifically, the Committee and panel members asked the BLM to reopen comments on the "Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Previously Issued Oil and Gas Leases in White River National Forest Colorado" in light of the 2016 USGS assessment.
Robert Guinn, Vice President of SG Interests, discussed his frustration with the BLM's "post hoc decision making" despite the proven ability to safely and responsibly develop shale resources.
"The BLM and the U.S. Forest Service, rather than facilitating the development of the Mancos Shale, are making long-lasting land use planning decisions to prevent development of a significant portion of the Mancos Shale resources in the White River National Forest," Guinn said.
Robert Downey, fourth generation Colorado native and Vice President of Production for Gunnison Energy LLC, talked about his experiences working with the BLM citing them as costly and time-consuming.
"[W]e've sometimes found the BLM to be inconsistent and slow in handling applications we've filed […]. In our experience, it costs about 10 times as much to permit a well on federal land versus fee land, and it takes about 10 times as long to get a permit approved," Downey stated.
Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese talked about the firsthand impacts of the federal regulatory burden resulting in the loss of over 10,000 jobs in Mesa County, largely in the natural gas industry.
"When you think about economic effects of over-regulation, potentially cancelling leases or modifying leases, the ability or inability to do business in Mesa Country or surrounding western Colorado counties, you have to think about the 'domino effect' […]. This is a huge cut into my budget for infrastructure and important public safety needs," Pugliese explained.Click here to view full witness testimony. Read More
Today, the Subcommittee on Water, Power and Oceans held an oversight hearing on conflicting ideas between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) that could threaten portions of California's water supply.
NMFS proposed holding back water behind Shasta Dam through the summer and fall to preserve cold water for the Winter-run Chinook salmon. Conversely, FWS seeks to release water, increasing Bay-Delta outflow for the Delta smelt.
The conflicting proposals are causing great uncertainty for local communities and water users in California. Witness Jeffrey Sutton, General Manager of Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority, described several problems limited water releases—as NMFS proposed—have already caused and will continue to create.
"Reduced releases caused havoc on Sacramento River operations, resulting in some senior water contractors being shorted water supply, harm to irrigation pumping facilities due to low river elevations, water users having to alternatively pump groundwater wells at increased cost and from overly exercised aquifers due to the recent drought," Sutton said.
"The fish agencies have based their latest demands on the premise that more water equals more fish. That notion has failed to work, as more water has been dedicated to the fish, but their populations continue to dwindle mainly due to ocean conditions, predatory fish and other natural factors," Subcommittee Vice-Chairman Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) stated. "Defending the way the agencies have done business in this latest California saga is similar to a doctor ignoring the causes of sickness that could be cured."
Ara Azhderian, Water Policy Administrator of the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, claimed fish are not recovering and farmers are suffering because the costs and benefits of such water uses are not accurately examined.
"Unlike agricultural and municipal usage which must account for the use and ensure the benefit of each drop, environmental usage undergoes no such scrutiny. On the contrary, its benefit is simply assumed," Azhderian said.
Witnesses discussed a number of solutions, including a single FWS-NMFS plan to cover both salmon and Delta smelt needs as opposed to the current conflicting proposals and two separate plans. Rep. Gosar also proposed merging FWS' and NMFS' responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act, similar to President Obama's proposal mentioned during a statement in his 2011 State of the Union address.

Indeed, the devil it is. I did recently see a Chopped episode where they had to use it for an ingredient, though, and it looked quite scrumptious when it was put together in a dish like that. It can be so
. xD
I know what you mean. I enjoy it as well, and though I don't often fancy myself as a very worthy writer, I do wish to one day write a novel or two. How about you? Any plans for your writing ability?
Rubbish. You were well deserving of the awards.
By the way, if you wish, you can call me Miles if you find my username too much a bother to type out. Or for any reason you deem, really...
January 4th, 2013
Exactly! Most people don't see it, but fruit cake is the devil. xD
Really?! You enjoy my writing style? Yay! I really do enjoy writing. It's an outlet for me. Kind of hard to explain. Don't really know if I made any sense... :3
I can tell you are a big LoTR fan. I do know some things just from pop culture, but I've never seen more than ten minutes collectively of any movie.
Lol, I still think there were many more deserving people. Thanks though. I actually thought I had no hope of winning any award. :D
January 4th, 2013
Yeah, me either. Fruit cake is a wee bit too... everything, for me. xD
Good gracious no! I enjoy your writing style. You should give yourself some more credit. Besides, what matters is if you have fun doing it.
Dwarves seems to have the same basic characteristics throughout different genres, so if you see/read/hear one thing one them you can get a decent idea of their lore. You've never seen LoTR? -le gasp!- That is a right darn shame. Go. Get off now and go watch them. You are seriously missing out. No but honestly, they are good if you are into all of that medieval fantasy stuff. Even just a little. As you might (or might not...) be able to tell, I am a big LoTR fan.
Oh I see, that's cool. Well you've seem to have made an impression on the RP threads considering you received the Best Roleplayer and Best Sign-Up Writer awards. Congratulations by the way!
January 4th, 2013
I'm doing great, thanks for asking. I don't like fruit cake, so I didn't want to burden anyone else with them either.
Thanks, it means a lot. I always think I'm the worst writer on the planet. xD We should definitely RP together some time again. I was sad to see you drop out.
Thanks! I actually know very little about Dwarves, having never seen anything with Dwarves in it. (Including LoTR and The Hobbit)
Only a few months. Not very long.
January 4th, 2013
'Ello there! How're you on this fine day? Thank you, I appreciate the welcome. This seems like a great community so I am excited to be a part of it. And no worries there, maybe try a fruit cake next time? They hold up better during transit.
Oh gosh, why thank you! I tend to be a blabbermouth when it comes to characters and most of the time I can't stop writing about them. I am glad it came through readable and somewhat consistent. I enjoyed reading your SU as well. Solomon seems like an interesting character, and I like your IC posts. Very entertaining. I am sorry I had to drop out of Red's RP. Now I don't have a chance to interact with you. Next time, perhaps?
I have also read your character Bofvar's post in the Aerion RP. I love dwarves. They make such fun characters. I will definitely keep reading up on that on.
How long have you been here on the PC?
December 24th, 2012
Hi, Sovereign! I just wanted to pop in and welcome you to PC and the RP corner. I'm looking forward to reading your work. So...I guess this is me saying hello. I would have brought a jello mold, but they don't do well during the data conversion process. /le sigh
Your SU was great by the way.

Darius Rucker Helped David Nail Prep for Tour
David Nail says his stint touring with Darius Rucker had a big influence on how he decided to go about his I'm a Fire Tour, his first as a headliner.
David Nail says his stint touring with Darius Rucker had a big influence on how he decided to go about his I'm a Fire Tour, his first as a headliner.
David Nail has released an acoustic version of his song 'The Secret,' along with a new music video.
Now that he's been a successful supporter on someone else's tour, David Nail is ready to hit the road and headline one of his own. He's lighting the I'm a Fire Tour this fall with dates in several cities.
David Nail is currently starring in an AT&T U-verse series called 'David Nail: I'm a Fire,' and two more episodes are set to roll out on Wednesday (June 25). Enjoy a preview of each during this Taste of Country exclusive.
This summer, David Nail will be streaming into homes all over the country thanks to AT&T U-verse. The 'Kiss You Tonight' singer is teaming up with U-verse for the Country Deep tour and will be featured in an eight-episode web series, 'David Nail: I'm A Fire.'
Performances from Kenny Rogers and Corey Smith, a surprise from one-third of Lady Antebellum, and an all-star version of 'Wagon Wheel' were amongst the many highlights at Darius Rucker's fifth annual charity concert for St. Jude on Monday night (June 2).
David Nail is on fire this year with his last single "Whatever She's Got" just about to go platinum and is now in worldwide distribution. David's newest song "Kiss You Tonight" is burning up the airwaves too. Check out the acoustic video Nail has just released. It's no wonder he is up for another ACM award (of which I hope he wins). Watch the video and tell me what you think.
It's tempting to latch onto a narrative that the happier themes David Nail explores on 'I'm a Fire' mirror his treatment for depression. Before this album, he was known for dark, heavy ballads about the loss of love, but now tracks like 'Whatever She's Got' and 'I'm a Fire' find him bathing in sunshine.
David Nail does heavy heartbreak as well as anyone except maybe Gary Allan, so fans may have had reason to cringe when he said 'I'm a Fire' would be a more upbeat collection of songs. Upbeat? Definitely. Fluffy? No way.
David Nail is about to release a new album that includes a No. 1 hit. Now, the 'Whatever She's Got' singer says that the success of his forthcoming record will be even sweeter, as he has a handle on his lifelong battle with depression.
The polar vortex has been rearing its cold and snowy head quite a bit lately, which can affect artists who are on the road touring. Last week, David Nail encountered a problem with icy roads when he was on his way to open a show for Darius Rucker in New York.
David Nail has released new details about his upcoming album, 'I'm a Fire.' This will be the singer's third album, which will include his current hit, 'Whatever She's Got.'

So I'm trying to use rounded corners, and I found the latest file that's supposed to help with IE and so set up my CSS like this;
and it actually works for IE7. But in IE8 the entire box disappears!Code:-moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px; border-radius:10px; behavior:url(/includes/border-radius.htc);
Here's my test:
The box that says "Div 1" looks fine in all browsers (as well as emulated IE7) but in IE8, the box just disappears altogether.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Will Black cinema make history on Sunday's telecast of the Academy Awards? The groundbreaking film "12 Years A Slave" is up for nine Oscar nominations, including Best Director (Steve McQueen), Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o) and Best Actor (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
All signs point towards "12 Years A Slave" winning Best Picture, having already secured countless critic circle awards as well as Golden Globe and SAG award wins. This would be the first time in Academy history that a film with a mostly black cast, written and directed by a filmmaker and screenwriter of African descent scores a Best Picture win.

My 98 Aurora drives like new with these direct replacement shocks. Nice to buy a aftermarket part that is engineered for your car. The air lines hooked up with the factory clips & o-rings. It corrected the tail happy, tire boucing, sagging condition that started with a loud snapping noise. The right rear shock started leaking & once in a turn you can feel the rear of the car skipping around. It's all good now! Thanks KYB! New life for my old car!

AccuScore predicts Pats to bounce back
By James Walker
AFC East blog readers scoffed
at AccuScore last week after predicting the
New England Patriots
would lose to the
Pittsburgh Steelers
. It turns out AccuScore was on the money.
This week, AccuScore likes the Patriots to bounce back pretty convincingly. After running 10,000Ācomputer simulations, New England (5-2) came out on top 72 percent of the time at home against the
New York Giants
It's a big game for New England. With a
New York Jets
(4-3) win over the
Buffalo Bills
(5-2) this weekend, the Patriots would be back in first place in the AFC East.

PS4: PSN prices will be adjusted ahead of EU console launch, Sony confirms
Sony will look to adjust the cost of PlayStation 4 digital game prices ahead of the console's European launch. It followed the discovery that EA was selling games like FIFA 14 and Battlefield 4 for £63 over PSN.
EA's £63 PSN price-point was eventually lowered by a whole £3 yesterday, but the PS4 titles in question are still £5 more expensive than their Xbox One counterparts.
In a statement issued to Eurogamer, Sony wrote, "Although PS4 launches in Europe on the 29th November, we have switched on the European PSN early to test and make sure that features and functionality are fully operational for launch.
"However, as PS4 and PSN have not yet officially launched in this region, nothing on the PSN is final, including pricing on the store. You will continue to see some prices adjusted over the next few days in preparation for launch on Friday."
The company confirmed that if you've already bought a PS4 game digitally on the EU PSN store that happens to be lowered before launch, you will be refunded the difference.

I expect the problem here is that the technology is still so new that many who might be able to use it are unaware of theproduct or its capabilities. One thought, could a custom jewelry store make one of a kind pieces on demand, using 3D software todesign it and show on screen with the customer participating, then run off a mold in the new desk top device? How about customparts for vintage whatever - cars, planes, etc. It looks like medical applications are one area where a lot of thought is goinginto new apps. Perhaps we need a lot more 12 year old kids with their own computer consulting business to learn about this andstart competing on novel constructions.I agree that price wars will not help. The problems is that there are a lot of smart people with huge egos who will think they can do it better, cheaper, faster, etc. Once they have sunk the front end investment to get something working they will be loathe to give up without a fight.It seems to me that 3D Systems is the quality product and company in the market. That does not guarantee success but it is an advantage. Shoddy products disappoint but it may take a while for people to realize that $30,000 for something that causes them to deliver a shoddy product to THEIR customers is not as good a bargain as a product that helps them deliver quality themselves.

The Bears have added some much-needed younger depth behind 30-year-old workhorse Matt Forte.
On Tuesday, Chicago signed running back Jacquizz Rodgers to a one-year deal. The 25-year-old Rodgers' entire NFL career has been with the Falcons.
MORE: NFL offseason stock watch | Top free agents still available | Mariota not attending draft
#Bears have signed RB Jacquizz Rodgers to a one-year contract. https://t.co/GGmBBclJGk
— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) March 31, 2015
In addition to his work at running back, Rodgers is also comfortable blocking, lining up catching passes out of the backfield and lining up as a slot receiver.
Rodgers rushed for 217 yards and one touchdown last year with the Falcons. He also caught 29 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown.
The Falcons selected him out of Oregon State in the fifth round of the 2011 draft. His best season in Atlanta was in 2013, when he had 673 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns.

The bed was comfortable and the staff were helpful
The carpet in the bedroom needs replacing as it was well worn, and the bathroom could do with some thought, cheap plastic toilet seats do not help!!!
It was convenient and reasonably priced
Very noisy room as faced the AI. Tired decor.
welcoming, nice atmosphere, small sunken bath
the breakfast only
it was not good value for money, quite dirty, run down, i would not stay here again
Everything was as expected
Room had a double and a single bed so another chair would have been helpful
cleanliness and facilities
The receptionist, Linda, was very welcoming. She took me to the bar, rather than giving me directions. She was most helpful with any queries.
The attitude of the staff was excellent and the manager quite exceptional.
Handiness to the Town Centre. Clean rooms and staff very friendly and welcoming.
My folks stayed in room 710 and it was very pleasant however in the evenings all we could smell was drains. It didnt disrupt our break however maybe something you should look into.
The hotel booked the room for the wrong date and money was taken from our account even though we had a booking.com receipt. The money was returned. Because of the mix up we were upgraded to an executive room, in these rooms breakfasts are provided , we knew this as we have stayed in one before. We were disappointed and somewhat embarrassed when we went down for breakfast on the second morning to be told there was no breakfast although there was one for the first morning. Not a particularly enjoyable stay made worse by the noise from the adjoining room which kept us awake until the early hours and then woke us at 6 am. All in all a poor experience.
Value for money. Comfortable. Surveillance Protection for car. Coffee facility. Friendliness of reception operator in thre morning. Access to food areas.
Minor point. Lack of cream in dispenser in bathroom, only evident when stripped for bath in early morning.
Short car drive to Stevenage
Central location on riverfront, very traditional long established local hotel,clean and comfortable . Quirky. Nice breakfast.
Rooms on small side , but comfortable .
Needs to be updated but overall ok, great location
Old needs updating

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?

i finally read this whole thing XDDD so. since the light is a trap and you aren't even supposed to look at it and if the demons or whatever know that you know it's a trap will try other soul trap things then... how do you get away? LOL.
they can apparently touch you and erase your memories, read your memories and show you things that scare you, show you your fantasies and people you loved who died, and based on this thread and all the stuff people researched you cant go past Jupiter because that automatically removes your memories, some people say that you should go to the sun o_o and that they'res a portal there that lets you tell the antibodies or something what's going on here O_O, and some people say the antibodies are already here O__O and they are being blackmailed by the repitilian people who want to take over the universe because they want to be worshipped as gods FOR NO REASON AT ALL (since the universe is supposed to be a happy fucking creative place and its fun and wonderful WHY DO YOU WANT TO RUIN THAT??? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE) THENNN the op says the "indian person" was a shill person and all those other people and didn't answer his questions like one I was wondering too was when you die should you not give them your anger or fear O_o or do they only "feed" on fear, hate and love? LOL what if it does make the demons stronger? then what are you saying op LOL im so confused by this whole thing...
then in this thread everyone starts talking about ghrees and how the universe is like a body then is there something outside of the body O___O like infinite bodies outside of every body...??? and then people say you cant go back in time without making the whole universe go back in time which makes sense to me XD but then people start talking about that adampants guy who i listened to ALL of his videos. but based on this thread the reps. control your reality and dreams and shit so when adampants said "hurr durr everything is coordinated around me go out and nature and talk to the animales LOL even THOUGH THEY ARE CONTROLLED AND STUCK HERE TOO AND BEING USED AS ENERGY SOURCES! T_T and you can only know the spirit by its loooveee if you can see it, it aint god and don't worry bout whats going on the creative spirit knows what it's doing ಠ_ಠ" but since this place IS the cancer how can you know if god is really talking to you through life????? SO VERY CONFUSING LOL and why cant you worry THIS IS A PROBLEM
THEN people (i think the op said this XD) say that people make those movies like control factor ect. so that when people think it could be real, people could just say "DERP NOO LOL DOOD YOU GOT THAT FROM -insert movie- LOL ITS FAKE BRUH DUH MOVIEE DIRECTOR MADE IT UP WIT HIZ IMAGINATION!!!111"
oof so many questions LOL and i watched almost all of David dIckes videos and bashar's and now that this thread is saying they're lunar agents saying reality is an illusion it makes me even more confused AHHHHHHHHH WHAT IS LIFE

You've listen and read many different sources now its up to your personal critical thinking and research to separate the truth from the lies and find the missing details.
Anonymous Coward 23953120
I forgot to answer your question about anger or fear.
I stopped reading by the way the parasites posts so whatever questions they make towards me i'm not gonna be aware of it.
Here's a scenario.
You exit your body, you're surrounded by draconians ready to capture you carrying also a medusa and siren weapon that attacks you through your vision and hearing, what do you do?
Here are my thoughts, fear can help you run away trying to escape(if not used right it can also make you unable to fight when escape is not possible), anger will help you fight plus when you're very angry music can have no effect on you as you become determined to pulverize the motherf*ckers like bale did at the end in equilibrium.
I've noticed that too when angry and hear my favorite songs they don't have the same impact on me that they have when not angry and calm.
Also a lot of anger can change your vision into a beast's vision like in painkiller pc game where the medusa light will have to pass through that filter before it reaches you which might make that weapon also ineffective on you.
And there's times where you have to use your critical thinking to escape from some traps and solve some problems where fear and anger will only cloud your critical thinking.
You can use everything to your advantage when you learn the positives and negatives of each thing and in what situations is best to apply it.

Here's my full post where i expressed
my personal thoughts
about anger and fear where the indian parasite just used the quote out of context strategy to manipulate my message.
As you read i also expressed that in some cases fear and anger are not helpful.
And by the way the tibetan book of the dead the parasite mentioned i haven't read it but by the name "tibetan" gives it away its written by lunar agents!
Tibet is right under china in the planetary draconian hierarchy
link to 3.bp.blogspot.com
and ghrees has exposed the crap out of tibetan monks budism etc just like all other lunar religions draconian parasites hiding behind words like love etc that rub the ears of their victims.
Raymond drake exposed the tibetan monks too in his book gods and spacemen throughout history where he informed us about a group of tibetan monks from the thoulu brotherhood moved to germany prior to the world wars and it was them who brainwashed the germans and promoted the nazism ideology of the aryan race etc etc.
Raymond drake himself expressed his frustration on how these tibetan monks of "love" could promote such lunacy!
Little did he know about their true face and agenda and the common strategy they use "wolf in sheep's clothing!".
Visit these links people where ghrees exposes the crap out of the tibetan monks!

Before Hitler became Chancellor he was or not in regular contact with the Tibetan "monk of Shambala" who called himself "The key holder of the Kingdom of Agharta", and who by the orders of Dalai Lama, has taken the task of initiating Hitler?
Was or was not HAUSHOFFER the elder, member of the anti-lodge "THOULE" namely a member of a nazi lodge? YES, HE WAS!!!
Had or had not jew rabbi of Berlin Haushoffer the elder, traveled and initiated in Tibet? YES, HE HAD!!!
Was or was not rabbi Haushoffer the elder, the spiritual teacher of Hitler, and the only one who had the right to visit him in prison before Hitler rose to power? YES, HE WAS!!!
Was or was not jew rabbi of Hungary and magician Lincoln Von Trembits, a member of the nazi lodge "ANENEHRBE"? YES HE WAS!!!
Had jew rabbi Lincoln Von Trembits or had not travelled and initiated to demonic Lamaism in Tibet? YES HE WAS!!! (Also initiated to the supreme dragonian lodge HONG of Sin-Zion-Sina-China)"....

To the indian shill:
Use the "tibetan book of the dead" as your guide and bible in the soul dimension and we'll see how long you'll survive!
I bet it recommends to show love instead of hate and anger to the galactic criminals, emotions that empower you and will help you destroy them where emotions like love will transform into a sheep and like the draconian witches from the movie "stardust" said
"your heart/soul tastes so good when full of love".
Indian shill=Judas goat!
The goat that pretends to be by your side with only purpose to disarm you from the very weapons that can defend yourself and lead you to slaughter!
Take your tibetan love and shove it up your ass indian shill judas goat parasite!

Does Drinking Make You Funnier? We Finally Know The Answer
Photographed by Rockie Nolan.
When we've had a few drinks, we tend to think pretty highly of ourselves. Our walk? Confident. Our dance moves? Flawless. Funny? Oh, we're hysterical. They don't call it liquid courage for nothing. But, is there any truth to our inebriated estimations? Joel Warner and Peter McGraw, coauthors of the forthcoming The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny decided to test it out.
They took 12 employees of an ad agency to an NYC bar. The idea was to start with people who are already pretty funny, and see if alcohol made them funnier. McGraw and Warner instructed them to come up with a gag, then have a drink. After every drink, the subjects ranked how funny they thought they were on a scale from "slightly amusing" to "hilarious." They also had to rate how drunk they believed they were, on a scale from "sober" to "sh*t-faced" (there were seven options to choose from).
So, did drinking actually make these people funnier? You may be shocked to read that no, it did not. The jokes were judged by an independent, sober, online panel — a panel that was not in stitches over the ad agency's punchlines. McGraw's theory about humor is that it happens when something "wrong, unsettling, or threatening" takes place within a safe, nonthreatening context. For example, in the venerable Tommy Boy, when Richard hits Tommy with a two-by-four. It's funny because he emerged with just a bruise ("Not here so much, or here, but riiiiiight here"), even though the act itself was fairly violent. By the end of the experiment, however, the ad employees' jokes consisted of a Venn diagram with "cancer" in one circle and "unpoppable pimple" in the other. Yeah, we don't really get it either.
McGraw sums up the experiment perfectly: "Drinking reduces inhibition, but it opens the door to failure, with failure likely to be on the side of going too far." (The Atlantic)

How To Eat Healthy On A Budget
This article was originally published on April 26, 2016.

UK: Business Secretary stresses 'critical' nature of manufacturing
By Simon Warburton | 19 February 2013
Developing the UK manufacturing supply chain will remain a critical part of rebalancing the economy says a top British politician.
Speaking as Tata Steel and consultants', Productiv's launched the grant-funded Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain's (AMSCI) initiative, The Proving Factory, in the northern England town of Rotherham yesterday (18 February), Business Secretary, Vince Cable, outlined the coalition government's support for the auto component sector.
"Seen from a government point of view, advanced manufacturing is absolutely critical to getting this country moving forward," said Cable. "The automotive industry is a success story - it used to be somewhat of a joke but it has risen.
"But one of its weaknesses was its supply chain was stripped out and manufacturing agreed it is desirable to rebalance it on a partnership basis. The other thing is to provide some funding - the existing system simply does not allow to it to happen.
"We have the Supply Chain Initiative - this will inject financing [to] build up these supply chains."
Cable hailed the importance of British manufacturing, noting the sector was as large as in France and maintaining half of all UK exports were manufacturing-led.
He added it was "no coincidence down the road in Rotherham is the Catapult Centre," the collaborative research base that also examines metals and composites drawing on university research.
"You get this link between British universities and industry," said Cable. "Other countries do this very well, such as Germany."
Hailing The Proving Factory project, Cable added: "It is a practical initiative to make sure the supply chain develops in Britain. The 'valley of death' is a problem for clever inventors. They have got a big idea and at the first stage, no-one is willing to lend them any money.
"So what they [Factory] are doing is providing a pot of money to take to the car manufacturers to eventually put it [idea] into action."
The Proving Factory is a collaboration agreement with Tata Steel UK, MIRA and Productiv, which are the lead partners in a government-backed initiative to help bring UK low carbon technologies to market.
This agreement centres around the creation of The Proving Factory, which provides shared development, manufacturing and quality processes.
Torotrak is one of the small group of founding member developers and will also work with Jaguar Land Rover, Schaeffler and the Manufacturing Technology Centre.

Intermediate Oscillator: 41% Neutral
% Change Year Ago For Comparison:
This past week expectations of Federal Reserve raising rates and a new, exciting i
nvestment them, Pokemon GO, enouraged the $Gold consolidation to continue. To get
straight to the point, the Federal Reserve is not going to raise interest rates next week in
the midst of the Democratic convention. Federal Reserve unlikely, due to U.S. electi
on, to not raise rates till perhaps December, if then. We doubt too tha
t Pokemon Go will make much money.
$Gold became over sold this past week. We emailed to subscriber that buy signal
on Wednesday. Over sold condition continues and buying is advised. Silver more
stubborn. Does not seem to want to go down except on days of heavy fund selling.

Short-Term Oscillator: 75% Overbought
Intermediate Oscillator: 85% Overbought
% Change Year Ago For Comparison:
Global bull market in Gold and Silver continues. Important to remember that
Brexit is not the reason Gold is up. It was simply one event in the unfolding bull
market. Gold rose because it is correcting the under valuation of that asset
versus financial assets. Gold was spurred higher by governments and central
banks continue to make stupid mistakes. If the EU had not become a tyrannical
bureaucracy, English voters would not have voted to leave. We can count
on governments and centrals banks to continuing to make mistakes.
For example, due to Brexit FOMC is unlikely to raise U.S. interest rates
until perhaps December.
That all said, both Gold and Silver are seriously over bought. A period of rest is needed.
That resting period may be brought on by latest U.S. labor report. Earliest we project a
buy signal is on the short-term oscillator late next week.
Hope all of you are enjoying being right. Had you listened to the Street experts
a year ago you might have lost a lot of your money. AAPL -20% TSLA -15%

$Gold hight today $1,345.
$Gold up 15% from a year ago.
$Silver high today $19.98.
$Silver up 25% from a year ago.
NASDAQ 100 UP 0.2% from a year ago.
S&P 500 up 1.2% from a year ago.
Over the past year we heard more than one clueless analyst forecast
Gold going to $900. Other analysts said put all your money in AAPL,
now down 24% from a year ago.
We really feel sorry for people listening to these analysts.
24 June 2016
$Gold: $1,1318
$Silver: $17.73
Year-to-Year % Change:
$Gold +12%
$Silver +12%
Today we don't need to say much about charts or resistance. No price resistance
exists now. At one point last night $Gold was up more than a hundred dollars
as every last drop of bodily fluids was squeezed out of the shorts.
To that we simply say: ROFLMAO
No resistance exist to prevent price of Gold going higher. That said, no market
moves straight up. Investors need to use the corrections and consolidations
that will develop to add to Gold positions. That means our buy signals will
be especially valuable in the coming year.
We expect that $1,400 will be next level where Gold might hesitate.
We reassert our forecast that Gold will go above $1,900 in 2017.

FOMC demonstrated that it lacks any intellectual integrity. Failure to act on
U.S. interest rates in June means that no action will take place before September.
This action gives Gold a big, bright green light to move higher. Gold promptly
made a new cycle high at $1,316.
In doing so Gold became extremely overbought, as one would expect at a
new cycle high. On Thursday some kind of correction from that high should
have been expected. Reaction was stronger than it should have been as the Street
temporarily declared Brexit dead. It is not.
All of this action is essentially good. Move to well above $1,300 means that
level is no longer significant resistance. That level should now become a floor
for Gold. With the Federal Reserve abandoning any pretense of being a disciplined
central bank, $Gold's path of least resistance is up. But always remember,
markets do not move in a straight line.

On Wednesday, 15 June, FOMC is likely to raise U.S. interest rates by 0.25%.
With the July meeting in the middle of the Democratic national convention, any
move is unlikely at that time. No meeting in August. September would be the next
meeting at which rates could be raised if no action is taken in June. Unlikely
FOMC will wait that long.
Increasingly investors are coming to understand that raising rates could have
extremely negative impact on bond and stock prices. Investors are nervous.
The only haven around is Gold. Investors now have their last chance to get
out of those fantasy stocks dominating the NASDAQ 100.
Could Gold drop on a rate increase? Yes. Gold has rallied strongly, so some kind of
setback from an overbought condition is possible. Should it drop and develop
oversold condition investors should use it to buy.

Lesson from Friday's US job report. Street economists know no more about the
economy than the last person that served you a hamburger in a bag. Forecasts
were so bad as to confirm a total lack of forecasting skill. Remember, do not let
economists manage your money.
Odds of US rate increase on 15 June did drop. But, if FOMC does not raise rates
on 15 June next date for a possible rate increase is 21 September. That all means
the dollar will continue to weaken. Dollar's rally was clearly broken on Friday
All of this is very supportive of Gold.
Remember too, the NASDAQ 100, all the Street's favorites, is extremely
vulnerable to a rate increase! Gold is the alternative to the negative returns
coming in the U.S. stock market.
