Sew a fun fleece scarf with a hidden compartment.
I made this scarf to store my gloves because they always fall out of my shallow coat pockets. This fun little monster has a pocket/pouch in its mouth that clasps shut and keeps your small belongings close by.
You can make the pocket from scratch or use an existing coin purse/pouch if you'd like.
At this point if you want to add some legs/arms/wings, cut them out of felt and pin them in between your 2 fleece layers, facing inward.

In 1916 a case report by Reiter1 drew attention to a symptom complex of arthritis, urethritis, conjunctivitis and diarrhea. Since this original report many others have appeared in the literature describing a syndrome with variable clinical features and under a variety of titles but most commonly "Reiter's syndrome." In general, emphasis has been placed on the triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis; diarrhea has frequently been absent. Although some are of the opinion that one or even two components of the triad may not be present in a particular case, others have reported additional features which occur less frequently. These have included balanitis with superficial circinate lesions on the glans penis, superficial ulcerations on the palate, buccal mucosa or tongue, a keratotic dermatitis of the soles and keratotic or pustular lesions affecting the nails of the toes and fingers. Considerable confusion exists regarding the actual boundary of Reiter's syndrome,

Sims Swings at Sotelo
In case you missed his Op-Ed yesterday in The Seattle Times, King County Executive Ron Sims has assembled a list of fishy Republican vote-challenging efforts from other states, and linked them to the mass voter challenges issued here in Washington last month by Republican official Lori Sotelo.
Pointing to the similar voter challenge incidents in Ohio and Florida, Sims asks:
Sound familiar? It should, because Republicans have now imported these reprehensible and disruptive mass-challenge tactics into Washington state. Our local Katherine Harris, a previously obscure Republican Party apparatchik named Lori Sotelo, challenged the registrations of nearly 2,000 King County voters on the eve of the 2005 election.
State Republicans have suggested that Sotelo's challenges were just a test-run for an even more massive voter challenge effort in 2006, and with this in mind, Sims is calling on the state legislature to change the law so that it clearly prohibits these last-minute mass challenges.
What we need is strong, loophole-free legislation in Olympia that will bar, once and for all, the sort of mass-challenge abuses we just experienced here in King County.
State Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-Seattle) has said she will introduce legislation this session to do just that. It will be interesting to see how far she gets.

This post contains a much-needed solution, and a question for further development of this concept. Please respond!
You'd think displaying your category descriptions would be the first thing you'd do with
category_description () but it's not that easy, as evidenced by all the forum threads I found last night where the question, in one form or another, is repeatedly asked but never satisfactorily resolved. Those which appeared to be resolved, didn't work for me.
I finally found the "missing link" to make this work. It might make the other solutions work to, if folks know this apparently important fact: category_description only works on an archive page -- that is, a Page, created using a specially designed archive template.
Here is the code that worked for me. It's possible the other solutions offered would also work, in an archive template. Or maybe they would work on any Page, with a correctly designed template. Anyway, this is what I did.
First I followed the instructions for creating an Archive Index, which is essentially creating a special Page template:
On that template page, I included ONLY the core code to make any Page match my site, AND the code that someone had given on the forum for using category_description. (I truly wish I could give credit to the person who posted this. I have searched like crazy through my history and can't find the page. But this was the first piece of code I found that actually worked for this endeavor, and it made me realize I needed an archive page -- someone should get credit!!) BTW, I have a custom designed theme, so I didn't have an archive page -- until now.
Here is the ENTIRE contents of my archive template (which is named archives.php and uploaded via FTP to my theme folder):
Template Name: Archives
get_header(); ?>
$results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT cat_ID, cat_name,
category_nicename, category_description, category_parent
FROM ".$wpdb->categories." ORDER BY cat_name");
<?php foreach($results as $cat){ ?>

<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->cat_ID);
?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?>

<?php echo $cat->category_description; ?>

<? }?>
get_footer(); ?>
[NOTE: My sidebar is contained in my footer, and hence is not called in this code. You may have other elements which need to be in your template, which are not in mine, but this should get you started.]
Then, per the archive page creation instructions, I went to Admin >> Write >> Page and made a page which had a subject, but left the content area blank. I then chose the Archive template from the drop-down list of templates in the sidebar, and hit "save".
Then I visited Manage >> Pages and clicked the View link for the new Archive page....VOILA!! I now have a page with all my categories -- and sub-categories -- listed and linkified, along with their descriptions.
Now comes the question....I need to have more control over what is displayed on this page, so I'm hoping someone can direct me. Please remember, I didn't code this genius solution; I just put a few puzzle pieces together ... now I'm stuck again!
What I want to do is show the category names and descriptions of only ONE category (category 28) and it's children, not all of them. How would I do that?
I have tried including "WHERE cat_ID=28" just after the FROM statement, but that got me ONLY the parent category. I could list all the category IDs for all the children, but I'm hoping there is a more direct way to manage this.
Thank you in advance to someone more experienced than me.....!

Super Smash Bros. Nintendo 64
- Publisher: Nintendo

- By date
A multi-player hit. Believe me people, you and your friends will spend hours on end battling it out to the very end. Whether it's 2 on 2 or if you think you're a badass 3 on 1.
A highly addictive and satisfying game. Super Smash Bros. is a classic game for the Nintendo 64. If you haven't played it or its successor, and there certainly aren't many of you kinds of people, what are you waiting for? Do it!
Fast paced and accessible to everyone. Nintendo of America were mad to consider not releasing this game in the US. Any doubts about it's quality should be cast out of your mind. It's fun, addictive and it's got a superb multi-player mode.
Electronic Gaming MonthlyGrab three friends, then get ready for the best in multiplayer mayhem. [Jan 2004, p.189]
Imagine a hybrid of Mario Bros. and Street Fighter. The outcome is a refreshing multiplayer battle game that won't fix the gaping hole in the N64 fighting game lineup, but delivers a ton of fun and heavy dose of nostalgia.
It'll never be confused with "Street Fighter" or "Tekken," but then again it was never meant to. Nevertheless, its the most original fighting game on the market and possibly the best multiplayer game on any system.
Simple, easy to pick up, but most importantly-fun. It's not a Tekken, but it is fun and has a long life through the insanely great four player mode. And who can resist beating up Pikachu?
Simple, intuitive, and very easy to pick up on! If you liked the multiplayer interaction of Mario Party, are eager to see classic Nintendo characters beat each other senseless, or are starved for a fighting game, then this is the one for you!
Easy enough for anyone to pick up, yet it has enough multiplayer appeal to stay interesting for a good long time. So, if you've got a crew of friends ready to pick a Nintendo character and throw down, then Super Smash Bros. is definitely worth a purchase.
Considering the state of fighting games for the N64, Super Smash Brothers is actually high in its class. While the single player mode gets tiresome, it's a fun multi-player game and is worth a look.

DORRANCE, Kan. (AP) _ A retired Hays doctor is giving nearly 1,700 acres of Kansas land to a wildlife group.
Dr. Wallace Weber decided to transfer the land in Russell County to Pheasants Forever, as long as the group leaves it intact and doesn't sell it. Pheasants Forever says it's the most land it has ever received in a single gift.
The property -- known as Dubuque Land and Cattle -- includes Weber's birthplace and childhood home, as well as land he has acquired over the years. The 65-year-old Weber said universities he contacted told him it wasn't enough land to be self-sustaining.
The first half-section of ground -- 320 acres -- was transferred in December.
Weber founded Heartland Dermatology Center in Hays, from which he retired in 2005. He spent 31 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a colonel.

This invention relates to display devices and particularly to thin film, electroluminescent (TFEL) display devices.
Light emitting display devices have been fabricated utilizing the electroluminescent effect obtained by exposing special light-emitting materials (sometimes called phosphors) to an electrical field. In order to provide high contrast in TFEL displays, it is known to provide a light absorbing (black) dielectric layer between the active layer of electroluminescent material and the back electrode as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,560,784 to G. N. Steele, et al. It is also known to provide such a black background behind a transparent backside electrode and to make electrical connection to the transparent backside electrode through openings or border areas in the black background (U.S. Pat. No. 4,488,084 to S. G. Linfors, et al).
In addition to having high contrast, it is important for a TFEL display to have a long life. Unfortunately the high electric fields required to provide electroluminescense can cause sporadic breakdowns of the EL film in some locations, and these breakdowns can in turn produce a break in the continuity of the overlying electrode at such locations. To reduce these breakdowns, it is known to provide strips of insulating material under one side of each of the parallel strips of metal, thus reducing the electrical field in a "bus rail" portion of the backside electrodes (U.S. Pat. No. 4,342,945 to the present inventor, Richard D. Ketchpel).
These prior art techniques have helped increase the contrast and the life of TFEL displays. However, there is a continuing need to provide TFEL display structures which can be economically fabricated to provide high contrast, long life, and reliable quality.
It is an object of the invention to provide TFEL displays with high contrast.
It is an object of the invention to provide TFEL displays with increased lifetimes.
It is an object of the invention to provide reliable TFEL displays which are not susceptible to propagating modes of failure.
It is an object of the invention to provide TFEL displays having both high contrast and increased lifetimes.
According to the invention, an EL material is sandwiched between parallel strips of electrodes, running at right angles to each other. The electrodes form pixels between them in the EL material at locations where they cross over each other.
The backside (the side opposite the substrate, generally the non-viewing side) of the EL layer is covered with a layer of insulating material which has holes through it at each pixel. Broad parallel strips of backside electrodes are formed on this insulating material so that they extend into the holes and therefore into contact with the EL layer at each pixel. However, the backside electrodes are spaced away from the EL layer by the insulating material outside the hole in the areas between the pixels. This provides a higher electric field where needed in the light-emitting pixel location (the holes) but lower electric fields outside the pixel (between the holes) to prevent breakdown of the EL layer.
The insulating layer overlaps the edge formed by the frontside electrode to reduce the electric field which tends to concentrate at the electrode edge, further helping to prevent breakdown of the EL layer.
In a second embodiment, the insulating layer is black to absorb light and thus reduce light scattering.
In a third embodiment, the backside electrode is black, to absorb light and thus reduce light scattering.
In a fourth embodiment, the EL layer has a black semi-insulating layer covering it over the dielectric layer and under the backside electrode to reduce light scattering and reflection.
In a fifth embodiment, the insulating layer with the pixel holes is deposited on the substrate and partly over the frontside electrode rather than on the backside.
In a sixth embodiment, the backside electrode is made transparent so that light can shine from the backside of the display panel.
These and other objects and features of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description taken with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective, cross-sectional view of a thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) display panel according to a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section showing in detail a pixel of a TFEL display according to a second embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section showing in detail a pixel of a TFEL display according to a third embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a top view (backside) of a TFEL pixel;
FIGS. 5a-5g shows steps a-g in the fabrication of TFEL displays; and
FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 show embodiments which correspond to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 (respectively) except that the insulating layer is positioned on the substrate rather than on the EL layer; and
FIGS. 9 and 10 show embodiments which correspond to FIGS. 3 and 6 except that the light shines through a transparent backside electrode.
In order to provide a bright, thin film, electroluminescent (TFEL) display it is necessary to provide a high electric field across a thin film of EL material. However, in order to provide a display with a long life, it is necessary to prevent failure of the EL material which can be caused by high electric fields. These two contradictory requirements are resolved in the present invention by spacing the backside electrode away from the EL layer except at the pixel location where the backside and frontside electrodes cross. In this pixel location, the electric fields are highest and thus provide bright luminescence. In the locations between the pixels the electric field is greatly reduced by the wider space between the electrodes. Breakdown of the EL layer at each pixel can still occur and cause the adjacent backside electrode to vaporize. However, the portion of the electrode which is spaced away from the pixel is protected and serves as an electrical bypass to continue providing electrical contact with the remaining pixels in the row. Thus, an open circuit failure is limited to a particular pixel and the remainder of the addressed line of the EL layer continues to operate.
FIG. 1 shows a partial view of a TFEL display according to the invention. The front (or viewing) side of the display is covered by glass substrate 2. Transparent electrodes 4 are deposited on the glass in parallel strips. As is known in the art, these can be indium oxide, tin oxide or mixtures of these oxides. The active, light emitting layer 6 contains an EL material such as zinc sulfide doped with manganese. In FIG. 1, active layer 6 comprises layer 8 of zinc sulfide doped with manganese and two outer layers 10, 12 of a dielectric material such as yttrium oxide or barium titanate.
An important feature of the invention is insulating layer 14 which covers the entire backside of the display except for holes 16 which are positioned above frontside electrodes 4. Insulating layer 14 must be thick enough to resist breakdown at the operating voltage of the display, and it must provide sufficient resistance to avoid leakage to adjacent electrodes. Insulating layer 14 is thick between holes 16 and tapers inwardly and downwardly into the holes. It overlaps edges 18 of underlying frontside electrode 4.
Broad backside electrodes 20 are deposited on insulating layer 14. The backside electrodes run in parallel strips at right angle to the underlying frontside electrodes. They extend into each hole 16, and (in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1) are centered on holes 16. Gaps 22 provide electrical separation between the backside electrodes.
To activate the display, a voltage is applied between the frontside and backside electrodes to provide an electric field across EL layer 6 which causes light 21 to shine out of active layer 6. The resulting electric field is proportional to the applied voltage, v, divided by the distance, x, separating the electrodes (assuming materials having the same dielectric constant). As shown in FIG. 1, the electric field between pixels is much less than it is at the pixel because xb is much larger than xp. Any increase in the distance xb as compared to xp will provide a reduced electric field and some protection from breakthrough between pixels. Panels have been made using epoxy (which has a relative dielectric constant of about 4.0 and a resistivity of about 1015 ohm-cm) to form insulating layer 14. In these panels, Xb was about 35 microns and Xp about 1 micron. This provided over a 10 to 1 reduction of the field strength in the active layer 6 between the pixels.
The electric field produced by electrode 4 tends to concentrate at edges or discontinuities in the electrodes. The resulting high electric field can cause early failure of the adjacent EL layer. In the present invention, this problem is overcome by overlapping the edges of frontside electrode 4 with insulating layer 14. This overlap reduces the electric field in these critical areas. In FIG. 1, the overlap is shown by dimension Y. By "edges" is meant the sides, corners, or any other field-concentrating discontinuities in the electrode.
FIG. 2 shows the cross section at the center of a pixel for a second embodiment. In this embodiment, insulating layer 14 is black and is backed up by conducting black electrode 15. Black electrode 15 extends across hole 16 and provides a light absorbing surface in the pixel area which is not covered by black insulating layer 14. Black electrode 15 can be a metallic layer 20 having a thin black surface 19. For example, black surface 19 can be a semi-insulating coating such as a thin, sub-oxide layer of aluminum as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,287,449. Black electrode 15 together with black insulating layer 14 provide a continuous light absorbing surface behind dielectric layer 12, and thereby reduces light scattering and reflection.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a continuous, light-absorbing, semi-insulating layer 11 completely covers dielectric layer 12. By semi-insulating is meant having a resistivity in the range of 108 to 1012 ohm-cm. Cadmium telluride or other light absorbing material having a resistivity in this range can be used. It has been discovered that if semi-insulating layer 11 is thin (less than about 1000 Angstroms), circuit failures caused by blemishes in light emitting layer 6 can be limited to non-propagating, pin-hole, open circuit type failures that are less than about 0.001 inches in diameter. Such small failures are barely perceptible to the human eye and have only a negligible effect on image quality. Although insulating layer 13 in the FIG. 3 embodiment is not black, light is absorbed across the entire back side of the display because semi-insulating layer 11 completely covers the back side of light emitting layer 6.
FIG. 4 is a plan view looking down into hole 16 forming a pixel of the display. This view clearly shows how broad, backside electrode 20 runs normal to frontside electrode 4. It also shows how the edge of the insulating layer overlaps edge 18 of underlying frontside electrode 4. Note how broad the electrodes are with only small gaps 22 separating them to provide electrical isolation between them. This broad electrode structure provides protection against open circuiting an entire electrode by providing a more than ample conductive path in case of complete vaporization of the electrode at hole 16.
FIG. 5 illustrates in steps a to g a process for fabricating the TFEL display utilizing known lithographic and vacuum deposition techniques. Indium oxide, tin oxide, or a mixture of indium and tin oxide are deposited on glass substrate 2 to form frontside, transparent electrodes 4. A dielectric layer 10 such as yttrium oxide is deposited on substrate 2 and on electrode 4. Electroluminescent layer 8 (for example zinc sulfide doped with manganese) and second dielectric layer 12 are formed over the first dielectric layer. Second dielectric layer 12 can be yttrium oxide like layer 10.
Except for holes 16, the entire backside of the display is then coated with insulating layer 14 which is typically about 10 microns or more thick. The insulating layer can be an epoxy which tends to form a tapered edge into hole 16 as shown in FIG. 4f or a photoresist, or a Polyimide, or other suitable insulating material. In order to absorb scattering light, layer 14 can be black.
Finally, backside electrodes 20 are deposited in parallel strips at right angles to frontside electrodes 4. It has been discovered that burn-outs of the backside electrode can be confined to small pin holes if the electrode thickness in the pixel area is less than about 1200 Angstroms. However, this thickness can be increased as desired in locations outside the pixel area. The backside electrodes can be a metal such as aluminum, and they can cover insulating layer 14 except for gaps (22 in FIGS. 1 and 4) between them to provide electrical isolation. This provides a reliable, rugged, reproducible structure which has improved lifetime.
The embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be made in a sequence similar to that shown in FIG. 5 except for additional steps to add the additional light-absorbing layers. Thus, thin black surface 19 in FIG. 2 is deposited over the top surface shown in FIG. 5f prior to deposition of metal 20. Similarly, semi-insulating layer 11 in FIG. 3 is deposited over the top surface shown in FIG. 5e prior to deposition of insulating layer 13 and metal 20. Although it may be convenient to cover the entire surface with black electrode 15 (FIG. 2) or semi-insulating layer 11 (FIG. 3), the invention also encompasses covering only the pixel area (hole 16) with black, particularly if the insulating layer is black (or light absorbing).
FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 show embodiments in which insulating layer 14 is located on transparent substrate 2 and on a portion of transparent electrode 4 rather than on light emitting layer 6. These embodiments also provide the advantage of a lower electric field between pixels than at the pixel. Depending upon the properties (contact angle, index of refraction, etc.) of the particular materials used, these embodiments may provide advantages such as easier processing and better adhesion of insulating layer 14. Except for the location of insulating layer 14, FIG. 6 corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. Similarly, FIG. 7 corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 with a black conducting back electode 15; and FIG. 8 corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 with light absorbing, semi-insulating layer 11.
FIGS. 9 and 10 show embodiments in which light 21 is emitted from the opposite side (previously called the backside) of the EL display panel. This is accomplished by providing a transparent electrode on the opposite side. Means can be provided on the other side to either absorb or reflect light.
For example, FIG. 9 shows backside electrode 20 made from a conducting, transparent material such as indium and tin oxides. Frontside electrode 4 can then be made of either a transparent material or of an opaque material such as aluminum. Similarly, substrate 2 can be an insulating opaque material such as a ceramic or it can have an opaque coating. FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which a separate, semiconductive, light absorbing layer 11 is included to correspond to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3.
The FIG. 10 embodiment is representative of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 6-7 in which insulating layer 14 is positioned on the substrate, except that the backside electrode 20 is the transparent electrode and light shines from the backside of the EL panel.
The invention also encompasses an embodiment in which light shines from both the frontside and the backside of the EL panel. This is accomplished by combining the glass substrate and transparent frontside electrode of FIGS. 1-8 with the transparent backside electrode of FIGS. 9 or 10.
Numerous variations can be made without departing from the invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that the form of the invention described above is illustrative and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

All things considered, and there is a lot,I can't see this dropping or staying below $1.00. I think a Div. cut is built in and may knee jurk down but then recover. Maybe go higher as this returns more money to the co. for growth. Co. is losing money,but substantial cash flow will sustain it for quite a while. It will survive and below $1 is BK price. If there is no reverse split or market crash, the bottom is in. PS: I still see a 40% possibility of a reverse split and offering within 6 months. Even that would be positive in the long run. GLTA
Well, so far it looks like I was dead wrong on this one. Definitely my bad.
Well we will see. Just bought a little at $1 even. Maybe it will hold.
As far as I can tell, it looks like someone is just trying to keep the ask at $1. The selling seems to stop once it gets to $1, so it looks more like manipulation than anyone panic selling.
I hope this is true however look at PRGN which has both positive cash and earnings.
Yeah I know. Somewhat different but concerns me also. When they ended the div. they got hammered. This one is well telegraphed.

Will Keystone XL Spoil Your Holidays?
by Tony Iallonardo, via National Wildlife Federation
One of the sadder rituals in the nation's capital is the "December surprise," whereby the administration in power makes controversial pronouncements right around a major holiday. I'd be willing to bet all the candy canes in my stocking that the U.S. State Department, which is currently overseeing an environmental review of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, will do just that before the year is out. It will be difficult for State to please everybody, and either polluters or conservation groups are going to be pretty unhappy. Ominously, State has a history of coming up very very short on it's Keystone XL studies.
Why the State Department? State Department won't have the final word of course, that's ultimately going to be up to newly re-elected President Barack Obama. But State's decision could offer clues about where the President is heading on energy policy over the next four years, and his final decision on the Presidential Permit for Keystone XL is his prime opportunity to signal he is serious about addressing high carbon fuels like tar sands that are speeding climate disruption.
State's decision will come in the form of a "supplemental environmental impact statement" (SEIS) for the pipeline segment that crosses over Canada and runs to Steele City, Nebraska.
State, rather than the Environmental Protection Agency or the Energy Department, is charged with running the environmental assessment because the mega-pipeline crosses an international boundary with Canada. President Obama must decide if this pipeline is in the national interest.
Why Keystone is a big big deal. The administration's Keystone XL decision represents a pivotal moment in the direction of energy policy for the nation because approving the pipeline for one of the dirtiest fuels on the planet will do nothing to move the nation to a cleaner, less-polluting, less carbon-intensive future. Quite the opposite, Keystone XL's dirty tar sands could 'crowd out' rapidly growing markets for renewable energy like wind and solar power. It will lock in more dependence on imported oil and metastasize the destruction of natural resources already well underway in Canada's boreal forests.
Energy giant TransCanada originally proposed the Keystone XL pipeline to transport 800,000 barrels daily of tar sands oil through five states from Alberta, Canada, 1,700 miles to Gulf of Mexico refineries in Texas. Tar sands oil is a type of heavily-polluting, crude oil or bitumen that must be diluted before it can be pumped through pipelines. Bitumen is more corrosive on pipelines and it is more toxic and more difficult to clean up than conventional oil.
How did we get here? Last December, Congress sent President Obama a bill requiring a final decision on the Keystone permit. The President was lauded by conservationists when in mid-January this year, he rejected the application saying Keystone hadn't been adequately studied. He also invited TransCanada to resubmit a new application.
After the administration gave the go-ahead for a southern segment of Keystone XL that will run to the Gulf Coast, State suggested that TransCanada reroute the northern segment of the pipeline to avoid sensitive areas in the Great Plains, especially the Sandhills and the Ogallala aquifer which makes Midwest agriculture possible and supplies drinking water to millions. On May 4, 2012, TransCanada filed a new application with the U.S. Department of State revising and shortening the previously proposed route.
Currently, the state of Nebraska is putting the finishing touches on an evaluation of the new proposal and the State Department is preparing a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) on the May application.
The State Department's website says, "We will consider this new application on its merits . . . this involves consideration of many factors, including energy security, health, environmental, cultural, economic, and foreign policy concerns." Let's hope they mean it, but many conservationists remain concerned State's focus will fall in line with TransCanada's wishes: namely to have a very narrow review that only looks at the rerouted portion of the pipeline and little else.
Seeing the forest for the trees. Of course Keystone XL will have profound impacts that State or ultimately the President need to address. Here's just a few things the new SEIS should include to do justice to generations of Americans who will have to live with this pipeline and its pollution for its half century service life:
- An examination of all environmental impacts, including air, water and climate and refinery emissions;
- An analysis of impacts on wildlife, facts ignored in the first EIS, including threatened and endangered species, especially the Whooping Crane and Sandhill Crane whose migratory flight would cross Keystone at numerous points.
- An honest of accounting of the drawbacks including: pipeline spill risks, jobs that could be lost in renewable energy here in the U.S., and state-by-state impacts on energy prices for states likely to see price hikes from Keystone.
- A respectful consultation with impacted communities and tribal interests who will suffer in the event of a catastrophic spill.
Years from now, we will likely look back on the Keystone XL pipeline decision and see it as a turning point in national energy policy. Our first glimpse of that future may depend on whether State is naughty or nice this holiday season.

5 Responses to Will Keystone XL Spoil Your Holidays?
I don't see it. Hillary hasn't resigned yet, and even though she personally may favor the pipeline to please her friends in the fossil fuel industry, she won't risk pissing off everybody who is concerned about climate change. This move could sabotage her 2016 ambitions.
I would say that Paul Elliott and Broderick Johnson (to name just 2) are more than just friends to Hillary.
The influence of tar sands industry lobbyists connected to Hillary Clinton is huge.
Tragically, money is the key to winning "elections" and she will need lots of it in 2016 (I can't imagine what the world will be like in 2016 . . wait . . I can but I can't think about that today as I have to function!)
The web of tar sands lobbyists tied to Clinton AND Obama seems impenetrable. All of this was apparent well before the election yet here we are.
Irony: as "Joy to the World" blasts throughout the malls and airwaves, the fate of the Keystone pipeline may be determined. Unless one finds joy in destruction . . . . this will be another giant step toward "Misery to the World" thanks to humans.
The Keystone EIS was prepared by contractors whose largest clients are oil companies. The original EIS contractor was Cardio Entrix, and for the last couple years, its largest client was BP oil. This is a contractor that helped conceal the actual size of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Cardino Entrix is a good friend of Big Oil.
The largest problem with the Keystone project is air emissions. Large amounts of CO2 will be emitted in the extraction and preparation of dilbit to go into the pipeline. More CO2 will be emitted as the dilbit is refined, then the refined products will be converted to CO2. What make this project different is the large amounts of CO2 released before the dilbit goes into the pipe, and that is not addressed in the EIS. Thus, the EIS is not compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
This is a failure in contract scoping and supervision at the Department of State (DoS). Even if the folks at DoS do not know NEPA (DoS has every kind of lawyer there is) the folks at Cardino Entrix do know NEPA, and they had a professional responsibility to inform DoS as to the requirements of NEPA. Failure to address the CO2 emissions was a deliberate violation of NEPA, while making a pretense of compliance.
A second error in the EIS is that the pipeline will be carrying dilbit, which behaves very differently than crude oil. However, the leak analysis assumes that leaks will be of crude oil. A crude oil leak into water floats and is visible. A dilbit leak into water sinks to the bottom, and large leaks can occur, doing great environmental damage, without being visible in the near term. With dilbit, an inspector cannot just look for oil sheens on the surface of water to check for leaks at stream and river crossings. Thus, document contains technical errors. There is no excuse for such errors in a document supporting national policy decisions.
It seems that this document was prepared to support a political or commercial decision that had already been made. However, DoS should be able to produce a more plausible cover document. This document is too pitiful for words.
Some may remember that the Alaska Pipeline was sold to the American People to ensure American energy independence. Then, a great deal of the oil was shipped to Japan.
With the Chinese investment in Talisman (TLM) a large producer of dilbit ("oil" from tar sands or shale) at the mouth of the pipe, we can deduce that that real purpose of the Keystone XL Pipeline is to move dilbit to the Texas refineries designed to process heavy crude, and then by tanker to China.
It is the same game that the same players used to get approval of the Alaska Pipeline so they could ship oil to Japan. Follow the money, and it looks like the Keystone XL Pipeline is for moving oil from Canada to China.
China will own much of the dilbit as it goes into the pipe, and they do not have to sell one drop of it in North America.
By modern standards, the Keystone XL is not a high capacity pipeline. Anybody that thinks it will deliver enough oil to the US market to lower the price of gas at the pump is mistaken. If the oil companies wanted to do that, they would have planned a bigger pipeline. Today, we have the equipment so building a bigger pipeline is not that much more expensive.
No, the oil companies are there to make money, not to be your friend. They want to keep the price of oil high, and therefore they plan a small pipeline, so they can make a large profit on every drop of oil that flows through it.

I borrowed this dog biscuit recipe from Martha Stewartââ¬â¢s website. It makes about 5 dozen biscuits. You can find it here for future reference. Hereââ¬â¢s what you need:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- ü cup of wheat germ
- ü cup brewerââ¬â¢s yeast
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 and ý tablespoons of canola oil
- ý cup of low-sodium canned chicken stock, plus more for basting.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, mix together the flour, wheat germ, yeast, and salt.
- Pour oil into a large bowl then add the stock and flour mixture in three alternating batches, beginning and ending with the stock. Mix well.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the dough until it is about 3/8 of an inch thick. Then, with cookie cutters, cut out biscuit shapes. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake biscuits for 10 minutes, then brush them with the chicken stock and bake them for 10 minutes more. Turn off the oven and let them sit for about 1 ý hours in the oven until they dry completely. Then you can take them out and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
For the cookie cutters, you can buy a traditional bone shaped one or find other creative ones your grandchild might enjoy. You can also cut out your own designs by using a wet toothpick to cut into the dough. Your grandchild can also make these as gifts for other peopleââ¬â¢s pets. For variety, you can also use beef stock for flavor. These biscuit treats last up to 2-3 weeks, but your grandchild will probably go through them pretty fast! Who doesnââ¬â¢t love treating their dog?
So, next time you have the grandbabies over, instead of making traditional chocolate chip cookies, you can roll out the doggie treats! Itââ¬â¢s a fun way to spend the afternoon, and Iââ¬â¢m sure Fido will love it too!

By the way just to let everyone I also posted my recent FR from Amex which i still have yet to hear back from.........
Length of credit history - 1 year 7 months
AAOA: 8 months
I am 22
2010 -
Had a BOA secured card - $10,000 limit ( fell to $3,000 after graduating in 11/2011)
Capital one - $500 ( now $750)
Care Credit - $1000
Lord & Taylor - $1200 ( now $3,000)
Macys & Bloomingdales
2011 - ( In Nov 2011 added 11 new accounts) Now have:
BOA Plantinum Plus - 3000 ( the card that unsecured from a $10,000 limit)
BOA CASH rewards - 2000
BOA Accelerated Amex- 2000
Discover- 1000

PNC Bank - 1500
Chase Slate - 3000
Wells Fargo Plat - 1500
Affinity CU - 1000
Barclays - 1300
walmart - 700
I have been PIF since NOV 2011, and have used up the entire limit on most cards. In otherwords with my BOA cards in specific I have charged $2990 on the PLat and the the other two $1990 every month so far, but pay off the bill before the statement cuts. I want to hit the lov button so bad but dont think I will get approved.
Current score - 663 ( have about $8,000 in debt reporting Penfed - 5000 & Amex SPG ( 3,000), but will Pay off when the bill will come. I am waiting for the two new BOA cards to hit six months first and then request CLI, but wanted to know do you think it would be wise to request a CLI for the graduated card. I have the longest history with this card and had a $10,000 when it was secured. As of right now all my BOA cards together only have a 7,000 limit which is nothing. My brother and I use the cards for our business and charged almost $75K since NOV 2011 and paid off in full the entire amount..
Any suggestions ??
Lay low, don't rock the boat. Use the cards you have, PIF as quickly as possible, more INQ's (could happen if they do a HP to approve the CLI) will only raise more flags with your existing creditors. Dont use more than 70% of your limits if at all possible, Sit and wait for AutoCLI's you are making the credit card companies a lot of money at the same time they may be getting nevous 11 inq's and new cards in a single month, Since most of your accounts are new they all are probably doing SP's 2-3 times a month each. So they can see what is going on.
If you manage to keep and the accounts and cash flow for coming for a year, your creditors will probably be very happy and will give you CLI's and perhaps more but creditors want smooth sailing at the start of the relationship.

—J. S. H., aged 28, section laborer, when about 10 years of age noticed a small lump on the outer surface, near the lower end of the right ulna, which has slowly yet constantly grown until the present time. He does not remember any traumatism to this part at any time.
Description of Tumor.
—The tumor itself measures 7½ inches in circumference; its surface is rough and jagged, resembling the cauliflower somewhat in appearance. The radiograph (Fig. 1), which was taken by me before the operation, shows clearly the usual shortening of the shaft of the ulna and the drawing away of its articular surface from the wrist joint. It also shows the peculiar curving of the shafts of both the bones of the forearm, compensating, in part, for this development, and also the malposition of the distal extremity of the ulna. Since the operation the distal piece has

Good location, great view, clean rooms
Needs renovation, tiles and furniture look dated
The service was awesome, all stuff were very helpful and kind. even though the hotel was fully booked, it did not feel crowded at all.
The Location
The allocation of sunbeds , should put a large reserved sign on them
The location was perfect. You could sit by the pool, and swim in the clear blue sea, which was amazing. The hotel was clean and fresh looking. Very modern and appeals on this basis. The breakfasts were good. The Guru bar was nice, very romantic.
Not cheap either for the accomodation or any extras (drinks etc). The hotel staff weren't particularly friendly or attentive. The rooms (we had a standard sea view room) aren't spacious by any means (especially the bathrooms). Not a big deal but people should be aware of it,
design, stuff
Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you Claudia for all your help!
The seafront rooms face the main road and you can hear the traffic. We had to move to a quiet executive room to be able to sleep.
Very good cleaning of the hotel and room, very friendly staff, nice indoor and outdoor pools
poor meal
Nice hotel and pool.
There's no wifi, internet only for a high charge. Evening entertainment is way too loud for those who wish to sleep at night.
The entertainment team were excellent and made the holiday a fantastic one. Thank you to Hannah , Tina and Stefan you were all so professional and your shows were amazing
Could be very noisy st night due to it's location
The location of these apartments were fantastic and the the staff were so friendly!
Our block of apartments were not in the main block by the pool.
We absolutely loved the hotel, the staff was so friendly and the hotel itself was perfect. Nice rooms, beautiful swimmingpool and enough restaurants to choose from. Would definitely come back again.
The staff was nice. The room was clean and comfortable but not outstanding as one could await for a room that is supposed to be superior ( high season : 200 E per night says a memo in the room ). The breakfast is fair very english oriented.
small things not really annoying but funny : You have to pay on arrival. A first for me. You have to pay for the safe in the room. The linen are changed only 2 to 3 times per week by regulation. Not that I would have them changed everyday, but I may have to for some reason. And I do not like not to have the choice to keep them or not.Interrestingly also, this remark that you cannot take away food from the breakfast buffet, or you have to pay for it. Never seen that in my life.What is more annoying if you want peace : I had a room with view on the swimming pool: from there you hear very well live concerts given at the pool. Again it is in town center in a very party oriented town ( peak season ). So you must know what you want.
great seaside location, nice sandy beach, kind and polite staff, clean rooms, well-organized animation programs (although we were not particpate in it)...Breakfast menu was also.o.k.. So, it was a pleasant (but unfortunately short) stay over there on a good - low-season - price level. We will come back, for sure.
nothing special, only to pay for the sunbeds and umbrellas or the night porter with dandruff...

"All of our friends and family commented on how great our card was this year. The combination of our carefully selected photos, modern layout and silver color scheme made for a successful design."
"I am glad I ordered it. It was the very first one I saw! Very classy and elegand; timeless design! Perfect for the Holiday Season!!!"

Volkswagen of America CEO Jonathan Browning told reporters Wednesday that the automaker would add a midsize SUV positioned between the Tiguan and Touareg, according to Bloomberg News. Browning declined to elaborate on a timetable for introduction, but there's clearly room for one: The smallish Tiguan measures more than a foot shorter than the well-equipped Touareg, and it starts a whopping $20,535 less than its larger sibling. Volkswagen has no three-row sub-$30,000 SUV to compete with the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Traverse. New entries from Nissan and Hyundai — plus rumblings of a possible Chrysler-badged entry — could push the German automaker to get on board. We'll let you know as we learn more.

I had to start a new sharepoint for different reasons but I wanted to keep the format the same. I recreated my sharepoint list and copied a form from the old sharepoint. I updated my URL in Data connection wizard and the document will successfully publish into Sharepoint. However the information from the form no longer populates into the list columns. Am I missing something?
Have you tried going to File > Publish and then removing and re-adding the columns? Maybe the CAML names of the columns in the new list are different than the old list, and therefore SharePoint can't recognize the new columns.
I was in doubt whether to answer this question because it is not clear:
If you are having Infopath form template of type/compatibility of Sharepoint List Form, then the main data connection (source) is not modifiable OOTB. You can change it only through exporting the source files of XSN template > modifying dataconnection > republishing template.

Wow, was this good. Guacamole and eggs, what a novel idea. I used a hot n spicy, thick and tangy homemade tomato salsa with fresh cilantro and halapeno peppers. What a lovely treat for lunch, thanks so much for sharing Rita.
I used Newman's Own Chunky Roasted Garlic (Medium Hot). Delicious and easy!
Quick, east--what could be better. These went fast. Thanks for posting.
i never thought of this ,boy i wish i had these are good . check out her other recipes too they are great.dee
Very simple & tasty. I like a spicy salsa, but my partner isn't as keen, so this evened things out a bit ;) Thanks
Made for Zaar Tag. Rita, this was very good - thank you! I will make this again and again.
Good and easy! I used a spicy chipotle salsa I made about a week ago. Wow, I forgot
how spicy it was! So easy that I don't know what else to say. Reviewed for Veg Tag/February.
A nice and different way to serve deviled eggs. Thanks Rita! Made for being VIP in Vegetarian Swap game.
Loved these!! They disappeared instantly. Garnishes can be versatile too - like a black olive slice or sliver of a tomato, a dusting of chili pepper or a pickled jalapeno ring....but the cilantro flavor is a must for us!! I like the flavor combinations so much that I had to make a second batch - but this time I chopped the eggs and stirred it all together to put into lettuce lined tortillas for lunch! Can you tell I like this one Rita ;) ?
Wonderful and so easy. Very good.
