Peppermint Oil is an essential oil, meaning it contains the essence of peppermint leaves. This oil is 100% pure, USP undiluted, and the highest grade available. Peppermint was widely used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and may have been cultivated by the Egytians. The term "mint" is from the Greek Mintha, a mythological nymph trasformed into a plant by the godess Persephone after she learned of her husband's love for her. Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita) can be used as a fragrance, for flavorings, or as a skin conditioning oil. This oil is very potent and can be used when mixed with other oils or creams.

MORGANTOWN -- The scheme West Virginia's defense is facing Saturday when Kansas State visits Milan Puskar Stadium may be different than the Mountaineers have seen in recent weeks, but the desired result - something WVU has not done well so far - is the same: stop the other team from scoring.
Against Baylor, Texas and Texas Tech it was the WVU secondary that received the bulk of the scrutiny after allowing 1,358 combined passing yards in its three Big 12 games.
K-State does not figure to put up huge numbers through the air when the No. 4 Wildcats take on the Mountaineers in front of a national television audience on Fox, but K-State quarterback Collin Klein has been extremely efficient in leading his team up the polls, including a marquee win at then-No. 6 Oklahoma.
Through six games, K-State averages 40.8 points but is last in the Big 12 with 179 passing yards per game. The Wildcats have excelled in the running game with Klein and running back John Hubert leading the team to 248.5 yards per game on the ground (good enough for second in the conference behind Oklahoma State).
Mountaineer defensive coordinator Joe DeForest said Tuesday during the team's open interview session that his defensive unit could be in for another long day if it can't improve immediately.
"We have a lot of things to correct but they're all correctable," DeForest said. "Our kids saw that on tape. We pointed out the things that need to be corrected both effort-wise and technique-wise. That's why we weren't successful last week."
DeForest said he has seen some improvement in spots but the defense needs to do better as a group after allowing 158 points through three Big 12 games.
"You see [improvement] in some areas but obviously not in all the areas we need to have corrected or improved," he said. "Unfortunately that comes with time and we don't have time. We've got to fix it now and it's got to be immediate. It's got to be fixed as a mindset. This is how you practice and this is how you play."

How do YOU feel about all this going on?
Take-Two encompasses 2K Sports, The GTA series (Rockstar Games) and a hostile move by EA here could take away some of the choices we now have in the world of gaming.
There are some sports titles that come out annually, it's really not important to me which one is better, what is important is that we have a CHOICE! If one doesn't suit your taste, BUDGET, or platform, you can try the other.
Losing the options is probably not something the people making the deals have in mind, but to consumers it can be all-important.

July 18, 2013 Pebble HuntingThe Best Pitches Thrown This WeekWelcome to another episode of GIFs and Words and Jokes and Nonsense. It's a special All-Star edition of GIFs and Words and Jokes and Nonsense, so enjoy the All-Star related GIFs, words, jokes, and nonsense. 3. Jose Fernandez's fastball What you'll tell your grandkids: Back before the universal tracking devices were installed, people were able to lie about their identities, lie about their ages. This was a problem in baseball, because young players were considered more valuable than older players. Age was power, and age was liability. Rumors would circulate about players for no other reason than that they were from a foreign country and they were really, really good. What we never expected, though, was that when Jose Fernandez came up to the majors throwing easy 97 mph fastballs and dismantling one of the best hitters in the game, he wasn't actually 20 years old, as he said. He was 11. It all started when he was five years old and he really wanted to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which was rated PG-13. He was precocious and looked older than he was and could already throw 80 mph, so he simply declared that he was 14, bought a ticket, and it stuck. He kept meaning to correct the record, but the problem was that they kept making PG-13 movies. Yes Man, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra, Grown Ups, Just Go With It, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. He found himself getting addicted to the adult situations, moderate action violence, and one use of the F-word per film. By the time he did turn 13, in 2015, he had grown to like driving himself around. When he turned 16, in 2018, he didn't want to give up his lowered insurance rates. Finally, when he was 28, and hitting free agency as a supposed 37-year-old, he revealed the truth so he could get the bigger contract he deserved. This is a long story that goes nowhere, but it's all totally true. 2. Matt Harvey's changeup

Anticipated plans to bring bike sharing to Baltimore are now in full reset mode.
Baltimore City's efforts to implement a bike-sharing program in the city by this fall suffered a set back this summer when an exclusive negotiating agreement with B-Cycle — a bike-sharing company operating in 15 cities — expired without a deal. Any future bike-sharing program in Baltimore is now at least another year away, according to the Department of Transportation.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced an exclusive negotiating agreement with the Wisconsin-based B-Cycle last November. That deal expired because B-Cycle was unable to secure enough local sponsorship to move forward with implementation, B-Cycle's Brian Conger told Baltimore.
"There's some great community support for bike sharing, but to do the business side is complicated and we need a certain number of [private] sponsors and financial support," Conger said. "There weren't enough dollars committed for us to feel comfortable going forward."
(Bike-sharing programs, for those who haven't seen the initiatives in other cities, offer short-term bicycle rentals via strategically placed stations throughout downtown areas, offering another form of inexpensive transportation for short trips.)
Conger said B-Cycle looks to the local corporate and business community, as well as institutions like universities, for financial support, which can include, for example, hosting bike-sharing stations. Advertising at bike stations and on the bikes themselves are also offered to businesses and institutions in return for financial support. Conger said B-Cycle needed an overall commitment of roughly $1.25 million over five years to move forward, which wasn't reached.
Adrienne Barnes, of the Baltimore City Department of Transportation, noted in an email that the City, with the support of a state grant, has committed $1.3 million to the start-up and construction of bike-sharing stations. The City will not be funding the operation of any bike-sharing program, however. She added that Baltimore City's DOT is currently in discussions with Alta Bicycle Share, Inc., the same company that runs Washington D.C.'s successful Capital Bikeshare, to provide bike sharing here.
"We continue to work with potential vendors to operate the system at no further cost to the City," Barnes wrote. "We are committed to bringing bike sharing to Baltimore. Given the delay, we hope to have the system operational in September 2013."
In two years of existence, the Capital Bikeshare program, now with 189 stations, including those in Arlington and Alexandria, has accounted for 2.85 million trips by bicycle. The Capital Bikeshare program now has more 18,000 monthly and annual members, averaging 50,000 rides a week. The annual membership in the Capital Bikeshare program is $75; the first 30 minutes of any ride are then free.
Montgomery County expects to join the Capital Bikeshare system next year.
Alta launched Boston's Hubway bike-sharing program last year and recently was recently awarded a contract to start a program in Portland. B-Cycle runs bike-sharing programs in Denver, Chicago and Madison, among other cities.

He´d do better to get sworn in on Mein Kampf, except the kampf will be ours afterwards.
One of the reasons that I won´t watch Homeland on Showtime is that Lawrence O´Donnell is connected with the show´s writing.
Forget the Bible, Koran, Mein Kampf, et al.I think it would be more appropriate for B.O. to swear on his birth certificate.
o´donnell needs to be on the "do not give this man a gun permit because of mental issues" list.
Mayor Bloomberg should make an exception an increase O`Donnell`s pain medication./s
For a man who lives to be remembered as historic, he is ruffling the feathers of the majority of the citizens in this country.
I would rather he didn´t swear in at all.It would be a lie because he doesn´t support the Constitution or We the People.

Recipe by MakeItHealthy
"I love peanut butter cookies but they are always a little greasy. I came up with this healthier version and it's a little less greasy. I love it!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup applesauce
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 egg whites
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
I don't make cookies too often, but this recipe is awesome. I am always trying to bake or cook healthier. These cookies have a great taste and are nice and chewy. Just the way my husband and I like cookies. Thank you so much for coming up with a healthier version of peanut butter cookies. I will definitely try this recipe again.
My kid's liked these but not enough to make a whole batch of cookies disappear in a day like usual cookie recipes. I didn't really like them...the flavor was off to me. They also spread while baking. They were a nice chewy cookie but that is about it. I ended with 3 dozen and 4 cookies using my cookie scoop. I would look into alternate ways to make a peanut butter cookie healthy such as using whole wheat flour, reducing the amount of sugar etc. in the future.

Think it is good! I am gonna make it as soon as possible!
I liked these and I got reviews from friends
Didnt have any applesauce add vanilla yorgt instead and my kids and hubby loved them.
Love them. Not your typical greasy cookie.
Great recipe, but did she really mean to preheat the oven for an hour?

Lindt Orange Pumpkin Face Lindor Chocolate Truffles: 60-Piece Box
Pin It
Chocolate can wear many faces. Like a chameleon, it can effortlessly shift from one holiday to another, changing its wrapper to blend in with the other festive candies. Take, for instance, this orange pumpkin chocolate. It may look like your run-of-the-mill Jack o'Lantern, but underneath that eerie grin is a decadent, inimitable Lindt truffle -- a delicate sphere of milk chocolate marvel that melts in your mouth like magic. Bite softly into the smooth milk chocolate shell, and it immediately gives way to an irresistibly rich truffle filling. So don't be fooled by that orange pumpkin wrapping -- this truffle is so much more than just a pretty face. This Halloween, dream in delectably creamy Swiss chocolate!
Unit Price = $0.50/truffle.
Display box contains 60 Lindt Orange Pumpkin Face Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles.
Made in the USA.

Memphis' Best Botox and Dermafill injectors – I can't say I've ever really taken the time to write a review, good or bad; however, I've been to Sona MedSpa in East Memphis now four times and I feel like I am more and more impressed each time I visit.
For years I have been going to the same injector here, also in East Memphis and something just told me I needed a change. The person I used to go to never really had any new ideas for me. I encourage other women to make a switch if this is how you feel. Each time I've been to Sona, whether it be my consultant or the nurse doing my procedure, they always have had something new to talk to me about. I was told that they received advanced injectible training about once a month and I believe it! The aesthetics world is changing every day and I truly believe this place and these medical aesthetics professionals know their stuff!. In addition, I feel like
they truly listen to me and have my best interest at heart in additional to knowing what they are talking about.
I just turned 50 this summer and I must say the age thing doesn't bother me BUT, I want to be the very best 50 year old out there and that is truly how I feel.
Finally, I'd highly recommend Sona MedSpa in East Memphis for ANYONE looking for injections--botox or fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal or anything in the aesthetics world. They are one of about 30 Sona centers throughout the country and are "light years" ahead of everyone else here in Memphis in their ideas and practices. I have lived in Dallas, Chicago and Boston and I feel like this is the only place that has that bigger city "feel" or ideas but still offer lots of personal service.
Again, thank you very much Sona MedSpa from the bottom of my heart, for making me look the best I can and for truly caring about this 50 year old aging graciously!
Best Laser and Service Around – They work with you every way they can to keep you satisfied. I had the best experience ever with their laser. Everyone is so helpful and great to work with. Can't express how greatful I am to the folks at Sona Medspa of Memphis.
very very pleasantly surprised! – I have been going to Sona MedSpa in East Memphis now for quite some time. When I first met my consultant, I have to say I was very embarassed to tell her all of the places I have unwanted hair. She right away made me feel comfortable and told me that everyone that would be treating me would be a licensed medical professional and a female...and that they had unwanted hair as well. I started by just getting a few areas on my face. The consultant did not pressure me in any way to purchase more areas right at first. After I started coming, it was like they got me out of my shell! I was seeing results and just generally feeling better about myself. This began at the end of 2006 and now here we are in 2010. I have added multiple areas, they have never tried to rip me off...continue to receive top notch service and bedside manner from these wonderful people. Several members of my family have started coming their now too...alot of us are also doing skin rejuvenation treatments as well. My Aunt started the Accent Body Contouring treatment and after just a few treatments, she has already lost 4-5 inches in her abdomen area! I can't say enough great things about these people and this place. I just noticed they have an advertisement on here now and these are the friendly faces you will actually see and do business with. You will be soarly disappointed if you choose another business for these services...again, thank you Sona MedSpa for making me feel good again about myself....my family and my husband thank you too...keep up the good work! SO
Editorial Review – Accredited medical professionals in a spa environment offer Botox and microdermabrasion, plus treatments to remove acne, veins, wrinkles and hair.

Tom Mellor
Date: 20-21 April, 2013 Location: Normal, IL, United States
Regular Price: $1200
The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course equips the Scrum Product Owner with the foundational knowledge to operate in the role effectively and successfully. This course will be held at Heartland Community College Workforce Development Center (WDC) Room 1006 in Normal, IL and will run from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Saturday and Sunday, April 20 and 21.
Following successful completion of the course, each participant will be designated a Certified Scrum Product Owner. This certification includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional member-only material and information are available. The course counts for 15 professional development units in PMI.
In the Scrum product development framework, the Product Owner is responsible and accountable for guiding and helping the product development team build a customer delighting product and for managing the release of that product. The Product Owner must manage many relationships among stakeholders, organization managers, customers, product users, and the product development team, and the Product Owner must navigate the organization to understand the complex political processes and how to manage them. Traditionally, trained project and product managers are responsible for these duties, but in Scrum, that responsibility falls to the Product Owner
Scrum provides a way to directly and effectively manage the product development through its Intuitive and lightweight process. Scrum delivers completed increments of the product at rapid, regular intervals, and the Product Owner manages the creation of the work through a Scrum artifact, the Product Backlog. The Product Backlog is a placeholder of features the Product Owner and others desire in the product and these features are ordered according to value, cost, and risk criteria. The Scrum Development Team relies upon the Product Backlog to help guide it in building the most valuable functionality first and to mitigate risks early in the project.
As the product is developed incrementally, the Product Owner grooms the Product Backlog to incorporate changing desires and demands from the various interested parties and to respond to changing business conditions. Scrum's early and continuous learning and adaptation process can also identify troubled projects early, thus providing for earlier remedial action.
Attendees will learn:
· Practical, project-proven expected Product Owner behaviors, characteristics, and traits
· How to create a usable Product Backlog using user stories and other techniques
· Proven techniques for prioritizing the Product Backlog
· Tips for working with the Scrum Development Team, stakeholders, management, and others
· To forecast delivery and release dates for the product using various technique
· Tips for managing various key variables influencing successful product delivery
· Use of Scrum in delivering software and non-software products
· Actual experiences of the instructor and a current Product Owner now actively managing a Product Backlog at a large company
Though each CSPO course varies depending on the instructor, all Certified Scrum Product Owner courses focus on Scrum from a product owner's perspective. Graduates will receive the CSPO designation. All CSPO course are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers.

God i miss ares
Yea I really don't get them. It's like they literally think that they're mutants blaming everything on humanity and thinking they're superior. Every time I'm over there, I gotta resist going off on a tangent on them reminding them that the Avengers are just as much heroes as the X-Men and it's gotten worse with AvsX going on in which they're making death wishes on the Avengers simply because they're trying to save the world. You'd think they look at the Avenegrs and always see Osborn or something.
Holding out for a Peter/Miles team up.
Most of them dont believe the shit they write they are pretty much a mini 4chan
You know, I was wondering why I was reminded of 4chan when I go there. I've just kinda given up on trying to talk about things from a logical standpoint and retreat to the other boards before long. I almost think a chair would be thrown at me for being a fan of both teams.
Worst part is, it's not even the event that did this, they've always been like this. The event just made them worse.

Holding out for a Peter/Miles team up.
So, Ares was terrible pick as well. I was never fan of him along with Wolverine on the team to begin with. Also its not a matter of how much they blood spilled its the characters traits and how they wouldn't fit with the team.
Wolverine from when I grew up was someone who hated being on other teams except the X-men who he considers family.
Ares is the god of war who's as reckless as they come. Who brings in on the team a guy with the title God Of War.
Bad writing thats what. So you can bring up any reason why they would fit great with the Avengers but by the end there just completely different characters I can no longer recognize.
The X-boards aren't that bad. Just a little, uh. Devoted. It does get a little tiring reading the Anti-avengers stuff, but they're just buying the product that Marvel is selling.
I can ruin you with two sentences.
There is a clown watching you sleep.
He isn't smiling.
I checked over there a couple time and every time I go there I feel like I need to wash my hands of all the enormous amounts of hatred they have for non X-men characters. Its even worse now they've invaded the Avengers boards. Its one of the reasons why I think X-men should become separate from the whole of the Marvel U comics. There too much of an alternate universe to even remotely co-exist with the Marvel U.
which is why he would only believably join the way he did
When logan joined he was still reeling from enemy of the state [best Wolverine run ever BTW] he had left the X-men and was in a self imposed Exile. he was offered membership as a way to redeem himself and make amends to the superhero community, additionally, the team he was offered membership to had a few friends of his on it which made his joining up easier for all parties
the same people who bring in the God Of thunder as well as the Black widow.Ares is the god of war who's as reckless as they come. Who brings in on the team a guy with the title God Of War.
Ares is reckless but he proved he was a team player in his first arc, The avengers have had guys like him on the team before, and it was better to have him where they could keep an eye on him.
Ares try to kill the team just because he wanted to kill his brother. Its not like Black Widow where she was brainwashed by her government. He acted on his own accord. Ares works best either in a Suicide Squad team of other villains or an anti hero group not a super hero team like the Avengers. Its the appeal of Ares he's anti hero who enjoys the blood lust, the body count and destruction.
I agree that on paper Ares was an odd choice to join the team. In all fairness though, I think he turned out OKAY. He's not going to win the Avenger of the Year award anytime soon... but I genuinely think Ares took the Avengers gig seriously and did his best to do the job. Even when he was with Osborn.
As for Logan... I never found him joining the Avenger as that unbelievable as some people have. And I do believe the New Avengers have sort of evolved into a family of sorts. In genuinely think in Logans free time he'd rather hang out with the New Avengers at this point than a lot of the X-Men. I'm not saying he's got more loyalty to the X-Men than Avengers, but I think he genuinely see's Cages crew as his friends.
she told Moon Knight some unpleasant truths. Moon Knight entered into the fight willingly. and it was ridiculously stupid to send an unstable individual into an unstable situation. did you realize that Spector is an admitted sadist; that he fights to maim others? why would you send him to a school? Rogers wouldn't even let him take part in Civil War because of his mental health issues.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some malts and grains. Taste is crisp, an unusual flavor, a suppose a bit mettalic or plastic like flavor comes through mildly. There is a touch of hops present. Feels light in the mouth and has good drinkability. Overall this is a mediocre effort.

Pours a yellow straw hue with minimal haze. White head. Nothing on the nose. Flavor is kind of grassy and earthy. Almost like a soil/mud thing. Yeasty edge on the end. Decent at first but gets a bit thick in the end, which detracts from the overall experience.

2.64/5 rDev -4.3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 2.75
Pours crystal clear gold color with a 1 finger foamy snow while colored head that was full of little bubbles and faded average speed, leaving decent spotty lacing.
Smells of corn, grains, vegetables, caramel or malty sweetness and the typical funky husk found in most lagers. Not much else to say except it was as dull as can be sniffed.
Tastes like it smells, with corn, grains, vegetables, light caramel, malty sweetness, light citrus hops, herbs, some funk, husk and biscuit. Flavor was not awful, but just so boring that I guess the true way to appreciate this would be to drink it in Barbados on a beach.
Mouthfeel is light, crisp and almost watery, with mild carbonation, a light body and a slight hop bitterness before it trails off grainy with a slightly metallic taste. Easy to drink if you're not looking for flavor and the low ABV would make this a nice beach beer; not a beer I'd have again unless I was in Barbados and hopefully on a nude beach, and while it was not terrible it was just so basic and boring that I feel like bashing it (more) would be pointless since it is an American Adjunct Lager style beer.

Pours a clear light golden with a white sudsy head that dissipates to nothing.
Smells of coppery lager malts and sugar.
Tastes of coppery malts, cane sugar, and crisp dry hops.
Thin body with a light carbonation on the tongue.
Standard American style adjunct lager, predictable flavor. Works out okay in hot weather as you want something you can pound ice cold, but it's pretty unimpressive. Maybe slightly better than our American offerings in this category. Maybe not.

look: 4 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.25
From a 12 oz. bottle marked Feb 2013. Labeled "Carribean Lager." Consumed 5/22/13. Into my Sam Adams glass (thanks, guys!) it's an attractive golden clear color with lots of precipitating carbonation fueling a solid, one-finger pillowy white head. Not exactly what I was expecting; this is a pretty good looking brew. Nose however is a bit of a letdown, corn and rice adjunct and a bit of sour milk along with what might pass as malt. In the mouth it's nothing special, starting with a mild malty flavor cut through by a tinge of metallic off-taste but finishing on an rather inoffensive note. Mouth is a bit thin and surprisingly flat despite lots of carbonation and great head retention. Overall: High point is a nice appearance but unfortunately the rest of this Caribbean import falls short.

People all over Western New York are digging out Saturday morning after record breaking snowfall Friday.
Rochester broke a record for snowfall on Friday, February 8th. The National Weather Service recorded 10.1 inches in Rochester, breaking the old record of 8.7 inches set all the way back in 1895.
All the winter weather warnings and advisories have expired, but some light fluffy snow is continuing to fall.
The National Weather Service says the light snow combined with all the snow already on the ground will make for some slick road conditions.
They say you should count on extra time to get where you are going.

* Six new presidential polls were released on Thursday morning alone. This is ridiculous. At 10:45, a media outlet will release a poll refuting the one it released at 10:15.
* The six new polls included ones from the Wall Street Journal, NBC and CBS. It's getting ridiculous. The Globe tabloid just released a poll claiming that Romney leads Obama 48 to 46 percent in a sampling of alien love children fathered by Elvis.
* On the calendar, Thursday is 10-11-12. Good thing this isn't the Mayan calendar or someone would claim it means the world will end by sundown.
* A body language expert is explaining what the candidates' movements mean. For example, when President Obama curls up in a fetal position after seeing the latest post-debate polls ... well, I guess that's self-explanatory.
* On the campaign trail, Joe Biden recently said: "This is deadly earnest, man." You know things are bleak when Biden begins to sound like Charlie Sheen.
* Bob Kerrey is calling for making the U.S. Congress more like the Nebraska Legislature. If he means we should begin paying U.S. Congressmen $12,000 a year, I'm all for it.
* It would probably take a constitutional amendment to change the way Congress operates. A constitutional amendment? At this point, I don't think our leaders in Washington are capable of changing their selections in the House vending machines.
* The Iowa Department of Public Health is warning people not to spend time around rabid bats. There go my plans for the weekend.
* A Los Angeles pizza restaurant has debuted the world's largest deliverable pizza. It serves 70 people. It's getting bad when people gathered to watch a televised football game are consuming a pizza that's larger than the field on which that game is played.
* A man in Scotland had to be rescued after getting his head stuck in a trash can. You know, I'm beginning to understand why Europeans have not been able to come up with a viable economic rescue plan.
* Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk has voiced his opposition to gay marriage. Something is wrong in this country when the Baltimore Ravens center has a clearer policy on gay marriage than the president of the United States.
* Arkansas football coach John L. Smith mistakenly referred to Arkansas as Alabama. Is it asking too much for a coach to know which team he coaches?
* Oklahoma State employs a hypnotherapist who hypnotizes its quarterbacks. As if the Cowboys haven't had some frustrating big-game losses in their history, wait until there's a crucial fourth and 2 and a confused quarterback starts squawking like a chicken.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal government analysts on Monday slashed their estimate of the natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale formation, and at least one major producer announced plans to cut in half its expenditures on new gas leases in the wake of dropping prices.The U.S. Department of Energy cut its estimate of the Marcellus reserves from 410 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to 141 trillion cubic feet, citing better production information that emerges as drilling operations in the region mature and the exclusion of data from the pre-shale area.
"Drilling in the Marcellus accelerated rapidly in 2010 and 2011, so that there is far more information available today than a year ago," said the DOE's Energy Information Administration.
Last summer, a new estimate from the U.S. Geological Survey had caused a stir, because it was both much smaller than the existing EIA numbers and much greater than the previous USGS figures.
The previous USGS figure was about 2 trillion cubic feet, but it was nearly a decade old. New research and more advanced drilling methods led that agency to increase its estimates in a report issued in August 2011.
The EIA number of 141 trillion cubic feet released Monday is within the range -- 43 trillion cubic feet to 144 trillion cubic feet -- of those newer figures published by the USGS. But it is significantly greater than the average USGS figure of 84 trillion cubic feet.
By comparison, the U.S. consumes about 24.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas per year.
In Monday's preview of its Annual Energy Outlook, due out in April, EIA increased its estimates of cumulative natural gas production between 2010 and 2035 by 7 percent.

In addition to their term limits ballot question, the county commissioners have placed a second question on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.
The commissioners want to find out how voters think about using money from impact fees on new development to help pay for county roads, public safety and public health and human services.
"We want to let the voters decide," said Commissioner Doug Atchley.
The county government already has legislative authority to impose impact fees, explained Susan Hansen, county administrator. But the complicating twist to this ballot question is that the county needs voter permission to keep and spend any money it might collect from impact fees. The question essentially seeks to "De-bruce" revenue from any and all impact fees the county may in future decide to impose.
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights Amendment to the state Constitution (TABOR) requires the voters' approval. Otherwise, any new government revenue raised from impact fees could not be kept and spent by the government, and it would have to be given back to the voters.
Three years ago the county completed a study of growth impacts on county facilities. The study was needed so that the county could demonstrate there is an actual need for impact fee money.
The county has not adopted impact fees and is not collecting money from them now. If voters approve the Nov. 6 measure and allow government to keep and spend impact fees, the commissioners will likely adopt fees soon thereafter.
From 2005 through 2010 voters "De-bruced" (i.e., allowed the county to keep and spend) certain property tax revenue for use only in road building. It was revenue that otherwise would have been returned to voters through a lower mill levy. That program, which the commissioners decided not to ask voters to renew, has expired. It collected up to $2 million per year for county road improvement work. An impact fee for roads would be expected to raise far less than the now-expired property tax program did between 2005 and 2010.
During a commissioner discussion of impact fees in August last year, officials speculated that, as example, a $35 million, 20-year bonded road building program would need a minimum of $1.7 million in annual revenues to finance. At that level, a $1,000-per-unit new development impact fee would require 1,700 new development units a year.
In 2001, the county's highest level ever for new unit development, there were 235 that would have qualified for impact fee assessment. At $1,000 per unit, that number of units would raise $235,000, a far cry from the $2 million per year the county's former property tax program brought in.
"We never expected that (an impact fee) would cover all our needs. It would be one more (revenue source) to have," Hansen said.
As of a year ago, there were an estimated 1,200 undeveloped lots in the unincorporated county that impact fees could be assessed against.
The commissioners have not set an amount for their proposed impact fee, and there is no amount mentioned in the ballot question. If the ballot question is approved by voters the commissioners would set the fee by resolution and could change it whenever deemed necessary. During last August's discussions, figures in the $1,900 to $5,000 per unit range were mentioned.
It is possible the county would also have to require some kind of a new development permit to serve as a point of assessment and collection of fees.

"Space heaters for teh winter"
I bought this space heater two winters ago on the internet when my old oil heater broke. The first thing that struck me was how compact nature of the equipment space heater, I was skeptical to see it it could handle the master bed room it was going into. Once I turned it on and gave it a chance to heat up it was more than I needed. The temperature controls were easy to set and understand. The only draw backs to this space heater is the fact that it does not have wheels so it has to be carried form location to location and the length of the electric cord. I wished the cord was longer so I could move to around in the room more. I have since then bought a second unit for myself to use in the living room and recommended this space heater to friends and family whenever the need arises.

Best Uses
I was pretty excited to get these pants from the previous reviews, but when the day finally came- and it did require waiting (ordered jan. 25 received feb. 8) I was heart broken. The pants are completely see through. I would be embarrassed to wear these to the beach. Now I have to go through the equally long and exhaustive process of trying to return them. Beware, you can see right through them...tailored for the extremely confident or double pant wearer, which most of us aren't. So disappointed.
Best Uses
Love these pants. I was worried about them being a bit see through and they weren't at all. The pattern has the potential to make the hips look a bit wide, but after wearing them for awhile I've found that's not the case. Overall great casual beach pants. You get exactly what you see in the picture.
