moreLights flicker on and off for no good reason. You feel drained and inexplicably irritable. Your four-year-old is scared to enter her bedroom.
Tell these things to Mary Ann Winkowski, and she'll tell you that you have a ghost.
A happily married, devout Catholic, suburban mother and full-time paranormal investigator, Mary Ann Winkowski has been able to see earthbound spirits, spirits that are trapped on earth and haven't "crossed over," since she was a little girl. Mary Ann works with these spirits to help them make peace with what keeps them here - whether it be people they can't let go of or homes they love.
In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK, Mary Ann will tell the amazing story of growing up with this gift, and will share tips on how to recognize when you're not alone, and what to do if you are in the presence of a ghost.

On tap at the brewpub on 7/22/12
Irresponsible tick #5
A) Super clear, deep amber color. An uneven layer of foam creeps up the side of the glass. Good, clumpy lace.
S) Very faint fruit aroma. Mild grains with a spot of honey sweetness. I'm not picking out the rye.
T) Tastes a bit better. Dry rye with overtones of sweet honey. Hints of hops. Maybe a tad more bitter on the finish than it should be.
M) Light body with evenly puffy carbonation.
D) For such a tame critter, this one's not all that bad.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a clear light brown body with a nice white head and a gentle carbonation.
S- The smell of green hops has a spicy note that becomes more pine as it warms.
T- The light toasted malt flavor has a hint of dryness to it that is balanced by a slight mead tang. That tang is blended with a rye spiciness with a faint earthy note that is very soft. The hops finish up with a big spice and strong grapefruit pucker that is very nice.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a slight slippery texture.
D- Most Honey Ales are overdone on the honey and don't have any supporting flavors but this is a great complex APA that has spicy rye and faint mead notes to really give it a good depth and balance the hops.

The Gandy Dancer is a pleasant appearing beer that disappoints in the mouth. Somewhat hoppy for this style but not in a good way - its too harsh to be pleasant.
The sweetness from the honey is apparent but can't counteract the harshness of the hops. This is one of the better beers that I had at Flossmoor but I wasn't overly impressed with any of them.

Nice, tasty ale; though my palate isn't refined enough to detect honey taste. Nice amber color under a thin, lacy head. My pull had a surprisingly bitter/spicy hop bite countering the sweetness, I 'spect Todd is playing with his AAU levels lately. Still, a lip-smicking brew.

On tap at Flossmoor Station pre-DLD.
Pours a clear honeyish color with a one-finger white head.
Aroma is decent and honeyish, somewhat sweet, with some pale malt in there as well.
Flavor is all right. Sweet honey and pale malt, as well as maybe a touch of caramel. Not much hop presence detectable.
Medium-light on the body with average carbonation.
Overall this is somewhat enjoyable and drinkable, even though there's not much to it.

More and more from what is increasingly likely to be my favorite brewery.
A: Nice right pour from the growler, hazy golden peach with a thick blanket of smooth and tight white head. Decent legs of lace that stick around with what remains of the inch and a half head from the initial pour. Really like the haziness in this beer though, adds a bit of mystery to the whole affair if you ask me.
S: My first impression here is of a solidly constructed beer, when I read the description I didn't think I would like it as I've had bad experiences with honey beers but this one seems right on the money to me. Nice spiciness from the rye, a touch of honey a solidly sweet caramel maltiness and all backed by a mild earthy hoppiness makes for one balanced, and more importantly, mouthwatering aromas.
T/MF: Opening powers through with a dollop of honey placed right on the tip of the tongue then moves quickly into a sweet and cereal maltiness. Rye seems understated but shows some spicy legs midway though, fighting through the honey and hop flavors to make itself known. Mouthfeel seems to have been hurt by maybe a leak in the growler as it feels just a bit under carbonated and the slightest bit watery. Don't get me wrong this beer is still highly drinkable but I think it's lost a step from tap to home.
D: I'm not quite sure how this is categorized as an APA, seems like more of a hybrid style to me. Very floral, almost tea-like in some places with lots of interesting things going on with the interplay between the sweetness of the honey and the spiciness of the rye, not to mention the hop and malt bill that has to keep up. Certainly one of the more unique APAs out there in terms of how it follows style guidelines, but for me the jury is still out on how good this beer actually is.

Had on tap at Flossmoor
A- Came to me with a nice one finger off white head with some lacing that stuck to the sides pretty well before saying screw it and sliding down midway through my beer. Clear golden orange-yellow color.
S- At first this smelled super sweet. As I set it down I could really smell the honey sweetness to it. Upon further sniffing I picked up a little more. This by far is a sweet honey malty beer that only lets hints of floral hops come through every once in a while. Interested in taking a sip.
T- This kind of took me by suprise to say the least. Almost no alcohol taste anywhere in this beer! Big sweet honey and malt taste on the forefront with a light bitter middle that balances out the sweetness to it. A very light floral hop ending I thought that mixed with a certain sweetness that I found to be rather enjoyable.
M- This is a light to medium light mouthfeel. Good carbonation that lets the beer dance across the palate leaving a sweet malty presence on the tounge to remember it by. Nice sweet aftertaste made you want to drink up.
D- This is a very enjoyable beer that is easy on the palate and quite refreshing. I wouldn't drink more than 3 or 4 pints of this though. I would have to think the sweetness would calm down any sugar tooth you have.

amber with a smooth capping of white foam on the top that went over quite nicely. reached around an inch in height before setting back down and leaving great streaking on the glass. aroma was one of the best i have ever come across. tons of grapefruit, so ripe and fresh with the perfect amount of sweetness to balance it, no lie i was in heaven here. sublime flavor. rich, sweet, mouth watering bitter and juicy hops dash across the tongue and just really open up as it starts to warm. just incredibly impressed here by the entire profile. light dryness and an effortless flavor

Pours a moderatly light golden color with a thin white head. Not much lacing. Nose is honey bread plus some very faint hops. Taste is mildly sweet without much else. Feel is pretty light. Pretty tame, but I'm judging this more as a blonde than an APA.

Served in a nonic pint glass at the brewpub.
"Did ya see that dancer? A real gandy, there." Sorry. This brew pours a clear golden amber topped by a finger of white foam. The nose comprises greens, light leeks, dank oak, and barley husks. Not quite sure what's going on here, but this is a limp smell indeed. The taste holds notes of light toffee, greens, flowers, light orange peel, and a hint of what I can only really describe as mild roasted malts. The body is a light medium, with a light carbonation and a smooth feel. Overall, a nice little brew, but nothing all that outstanding. I wouldn't be aiming for this one first when I'm here next.

Sampled on: July 20, 2005
This is my favorite of the three beers I sampled. (One has to take advantage of the trip to the brewery, of course!)
Aroma: Very faint. Has a slight aroma.
Appearance: It had a rich golden color. It was clear, which was not what I expected, since it had the taste of rye - so I was expecting it to be more cloudy.
Taste: The honey flavor is very subtle. My first impressions were to taste the grain flavor. However, it has a very complex flavor encompassing both hops and almost a lemon-honey-like flavor. I thought that the taste was very refreshing! The website lists an Orange Blossom honey flavor - but I thought it tasted more of lemon..I guess I'll have to try another!
Smell: You can smell the hops quite well. I didn't detect any smell of fruits or honey like I anticipated.
Mouthfeel: It was smooth and sparkling beer. It had good carbination, which was not overpowering.
Drinkability: It is definitely worth the trip! I wish he had six packs that I could pick up closer to my home!
The brewer, Matt Van Wyk, has achieved an excellent product and I would return to Flossmoor Station in the future and this would be my top pick.

On tap at Flossmoor. Pours an orange honey color with a light head. Smell is light hoppiness mostly. Taste is dry, fruity and grassy hops with malt taking a backseat in this one. Pretty good but a bit tame. Probably one of the better regular beers at Flossmoor.

Reviewed from notes.
Appearance is a golden yellow, hardly any carbonation. Smells like some sweet malt, honey and some rye. Taste is rye, a touch of sweet with a slight bitter finish. Interesting. Light mouthfeel, but a bit sticky. I could only drink one of these in a sitting, well maybe two but that's it.

This was from the tap at the brewpub, poured into a pint glass. The color is a dark pale with a small head that isn't very well retained. The aroma is very malty with sweet honey accents and a faint trace of hops. The flavor has is very well balanced between the malt, honey and hops. The malt and honey are dominant, but hops are subtly noticeable so as not to distract from the honey. It's very smooth and enjoyable. It has a medium body with moderate carbonation.
I think this is a wonderful beer. It might be a little to alcoholic for drinking pint after pint. Nonetheless, this is worth having when stopping into Flossmoor. I should note that I do not agree with the style selection of the previous reviewers. This should be a specialty beer and I have reviewed it according to that style.

It's true the life you knew is over--but the new one has some real advantages. The one thing I've had to do is learn to take things one at a time. Multi-tasking doesn't have much meaning to me any more, I need to stay with one task, and really focus--and I SEE and FEEL and LEARN so much more than I did before. The things that I notice... like, how many of us take the time to look at a soap bubble as we wash things? They are covered in rainbows!
There are lots of unseen "rainbows" we ignore in our running through life. If you start out slower now, with walking, and work into the run, maybe you'll catch a few of them on your way...

Welcome Rebekah!
There are a lot of great people here full of info. As for me, I see no reason for you not to run if that's what you enjoy, just pace yourself. You'll know if it's too much for you. I use Walk it Out, a walking game for my wii so I can exercise in a controled environment. That way I can stop anytime it gets too much for me.
As for myself, I'm recovering from caring for my 3 month old beautiful grandaughter this last week. I get to spend wonderful quality time with her 4 days a week while her mommy (my daughter) works full time.

Hi everyone, I'm Rebekah. Been around Spark People for quite a few years. Back when I began I lost 40 lbs and kept if off until I got prego with my 3rd child (who is now 2), since then havent been able to loose weight. I tried coming back a few times, but about a year ago started to struggle with pain and extreeme fatigue. My husband finally convinced me to go see a Dr in Oct and after a few visits and lots of testing, he "sort of" diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I then went to a Reumatologist who also gave the same vague response, that that is what it "sounds like" I'm still very confused by it all, and frustraited that I don't have an official diagnosis. My Dr put me on Mobic for pain and that has helped some. I had lots of foot/leg/hip pain and the Reumatologist thought I might have plantar faciatis, so I've been wearing good shoes all the time, and that has helped that specific pain. either that or the meds. I don't know. I still have morning stiffnes/pain for about 2 hours and extreeme fatigue. Can usually only do one activity a day and then I have to rest. I'm frustraited that this is my life. I've been dealing with it for awhile not even knowing what it was, just trying to adapt, but now I want my life back! I was a runner, and while my Dr told me to stop all high impact excersize (which I did back in Sept before I saw him because the pain was so bad) the Reumatologist told me to go ahead and run. I haven't, becuase I don't know what is right. My goals for this year are to be proactive, learn about fibromyalgia, learn about my body, and my limits, and figure out what I can do to improve the way I live. It's not only physical but as I'm sure you all know, the poor memory, brain fuzziness is really difficult to deal with. I have very little patience anymore, and no will power to eat healthy. I started reading some blogs, but began to feel like that was weighing me down. I need a positive place to figure all this out, and this team seems just great! People recognizing their bodies have limits, but still striving to live life to the fullest. So I'm looking forward to getting to know you all as we go on this journey together!

Customer Reviews
- It is good if you catch it on sale Shipping ain't cheap Review by Sammy Boy
Quality Price Value
I works. Does NOT kill everything. I have to by another type to kill what this one left behind.
(Posted on 7/31/14)
- Crossroad Herbacide Review by Dave
Quality Price Value
THis is the same stuff as Crossbow at a much lower price. Great value. Worked fantastic on poison ivy in North Carolina. Sprayed it on a serious infestation in a grassy meadow. Grass species were not touched and ALL the ivy was killed within 2 weeks. Also works great on green briar. They call it "saw thistle" around here. Rural King delivery was VERY fast, within 2 or 3 days.

- Seems to do the same job as Crossbow Review by J Savaloja

Sprayed along a fence row and a dry creek bed and it did knock the broadleaf plants/weeds down. Mix was 1.5%. Probably buy it again.

- Used for Poison Ivy Review by Crossroads Brush Killer
Price Value Quality
THis stuff worked great on poison ivy. (Applied in May in NC sunny day 75 degrees with no rain for a week afterward). I originally used it as recommended (1.5% solution) or 1 cup in 4 gallons plus a tablespoon of surfactant. It took about 3 days before I saw any effect on the leaves but then the plants began to turn yellow and die. I next used a 2.5% solution and saw a much bigger effect on leaves within 2 days. I wont know for some time but by next year I will be able to say how effective it is long term.
The price is excellent and the product is the same as the crossbow which costs more.

- Good Stuff Review by Frank Glazier

Used on a hillside in Southern Calif this spring, 2 sprayings, and brush appears to be dieing.

- Can't Go Wrong Review by Roger Krabbenhoft
Quality Price Value
Purchased this Crossroad herbicide for buckthorn control. I've purchased several gallons from Rural King with no issues. Shipments are always timely and the price is typically quite competitive. The product works well in my application. I'm mixing it 5oz to a gallon of diesel fuel, and applying with hand/backpack sprayer as either a basal bark or cut stump treatment. For saplings, it seems to also be working as a foliage treatment on this hard to control tree.
(Posted on 9/2/13)
- Great Value Review by Jack
Value Quality Price
I really like Crossroad because it combines the wood plant killing effectiveness with the broadleaf killing ability of 2,4-D at a Generic price.
(Posted on 6/25/13)
- Good Contol of Woody Vegetation Review by Jack
Quality Price Value
Through a lot of trial and error, I have have found amixture of this product to be very effective on unwanted vegetation species in north central Texas. 3oz mixed to 1.5 gallons of water and 1oz Tordon RTU with 2oz dish detergent (surfactant) is effective on young tender mesquite and starts the demise of prickly pear cactus. This is in addition to any broadleaf weeds you want killed. Mesquite and cactus are very resistant so it took some tries to find an effective treatment that was cost efficient. Reclaim may be better, but it is also $180 a gallon.
This product combines the ingredients of Remedy with 2-4D for broader results than either product alone.
I have found that different products have varying results in different geographic regions. What works one place on a region's vegetation may have no effect on another. The mentioned mix works well here in north central Texas.

With training camp now just about a month away, the issue of a crowded blueline continues to be a hot button topic among fans of the Senators. Although for Sens GM Bryan Murray, the situation isn't as urgent as some are making it out to be.
The Sens would like to make space for a couple of young guys but it appears as though the plan is to make them earn it rather than just hand them the spot.
With David Rundblad and Jared Cowen both expected to push for spots in camp, the Sens could be forced into a situation where they have to move a veteran to make space. It really sounds like Murray won't make that move until the young guys prove they're ready to make the jump
The names that come up most often are Filip Kuba and Sergei Gonchar.
With another two years on a deal that pays him $5.5 million a season, Gonchar would be tough to move and the way MacLean has been talking, it seems as though he is fairly high on Gonchar. As I mentioned in the Looking Ahead piece, he is a guy who could bounce back.
Then there's Kuba.
If Rundblad and Cowen both outplay Kuba in camp, then Murray's hand may be forced. If he trades Kuba, he would almost certainly have to take a bad contract back. Waiving him may be an option but I would assume that is a last resort. Brian Lee could also be available but he looked much better down the stretch so I can't imagine the organization being too keen on giving him away at this point.
Either way, there really isn't much going on right now. I get the sense that both Rundblad and Cowen will need to have strong camps before Murray makes a decision on how to make space.
- On Tuesday, Sens Captain Daniel Alfredsson skated for the first time since his off season back surgery. Everything went well and Alfie appears to be progressing as expected.
- Pierre Dorion was on the Team 1200 this morning and indicated there hasn't been any movement on Jakob Silfverberg. The team has been trying to convince him to play in Ottawa this year but his plan remains to return to Sweden for another season.
- Dorion also had good things to say about Mark Borowiecki. Lately it seems as though any time someone in the Sens organization does an interview, they bring this kid up. Tough for him to grab a spot this year but he should turn some heads in camp.
- First Round selection Mika Zibanejad has settled on #93 for next season.
- A reminder you can cast your vote in the SensChirp Search in the forum now. Polls are open until Friday at noon. Day 3's article has a fairly substantial lead right now but there is plenty of time left.

To the editor,
This is to the unknown woman who hit my 2007 blue Blazer Nov. 5, 2008 at Food Lion parking lot at 5 p.m.
She wouldn't and insisted I not call the police. "Oh! I can push out that bumper and it will be fine," she said.
Well I hope she can live with herself and what she did to my parked car.
It's costing me $1,000 to fix the damage she caused, and she said, "Oh I have insurance but we don't need it."
Well I hope when, and if she reads this she can live with what she did to me.
This letter is to thank all the members of our local Cynthiana Fire Department for answering my 911 call so quickly Sunday night Nov. 23rd.
They searched and searched my home to find what they said was methane gas order filling my basement and coming upstairs.
They found where it was coming from behind a closed in wall. They advised me not to stay over nite in the home.
By it being in the basement I chose to stay at home and open windows. And to stay with my two cats who came upstairs and warned me something was wrong in the family room.
To the editor,
I would like to know why Cynthiana does not have a dog warden? Harrison County has one.
The reason I am concerned about this is for months I have had a problem with my neighbor's dogs. The police chief told me the problem would be taken care of months ago, the code enforcement officer tells me something different every time I talk to him and suggested I call the dog warden, who laughed and told me that he works for the county, and they were "passing the buck."
In June of 2006 my parents were enjoying their retirement with a trip to Las Vegas, Nev. While they were there I received a phone call from my uncle stating that my mother, Carol Smith, had been taken to the hospital. I, along with my brother and sister, flew out to Las Vegas. The next day my mother passed away.
I did not vote for Obama. It wasn't because of his race. Some of my dearest friends have different color skin than I. James Custard and his extended family are among those lifelong friends that I value.
I did not vote for him because of his lack of moral values. On the horror of abortion, early term or partial birth, his voting record is documented. He served in Illinois, Check it out. I did.
I was shocked by the large headline on the front page of our local paper, But I should not have been, having lived here all my life.
Cynthiana and Harrison County, I could have told you the answer to that a year ago. A lot of our county residents are racists and prejudiced. You would think by this generation, it would be better, but it seems to be getting worse, even in the schools.
Gracious God,
In this time of flux and uncertainty, when our nation and our neighbors are in turmoil, searching for peace and prosperity or just a chance to catch a breath, you remain constant and sovereign.
You are King over our sorrows as well as our joys. You are Lord over all that concerns us in the daytime, all that keeps us awake at night, all that drives us to our knees. In that, we can rest and trust and renew our strength. In that, in your sovereignty, we can give you thanks.

The Week's Newsbytes
CalTrout Approves of $7.5 Billion Water Bond
CalTrout has been actively involved over the past few weeks, and especially over the last couple of days, in the water bond negotiations. On Tuesday, Curtis Knight, CalTrout's Conservation Director, was in Sacramento as part of a diverse group that met with the Governor to put forth a water bond proposal.
After final negotiations last night, the Governor and legislative leadership voted on and approved a $7.545 billion bond. The ongoing severe drought in California underscores the need to invest in innovative, long-term solutions to California's water future. CalTrout believes the Water Bond of 2014 provides the right balance of investment to facilitate sustainable water management in California. Here are some highlights…
- $1.495 billion—Protecting Rivers, Lakes, Streams, Coastal Waters and Watersheds
The Water Bond will support priority on-the-ground watershed restoration work, with funding distributed in a way that will ensure an equitable investment of these funds across the state, from our coastal wetlands to our inland rivers, lakes and streams. Funding will go to existing conservancies and for the first time ever the Department of Fish and Wildlife will receive allocated funding. It provides funding for the state's obligation for Klamath dam removal ($250 million), fish passage, addressing impacts of climate change, watershed restoration projects, land acquisition and instream flow enhancements (acquisition of water rights).
- $810 million—Regional Water Security, Climate, and Drought Preparedness
Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM), including funding for water recycling, groundwater management, water supply and other projects. While CalTrout has had mixed success working within the IRWM framework, we recognize the value of this program, and support inclusion of significant funds for its continuation. CalTrout is actively involved in IRWM projects in the Eastern Sierra.
- $2.7 billion—Statewide water System Operational Improvement and Drought Preparedness
This is water storage which could potentially lead to new dams and was the sticking point for many Republicans. They wanted $3 billion for Los Voqueros Reservoir expansion, building Temperence Flat (on San Joaquin above Millerton Reservoir) and Sites Reservoir (off channel storage west of Colusa in Central Valley). To build any of these surface storage project would also require a substantial user (water districts, irrigations districts) pay match.
The Water Storage provision remains the most controversial for CalTrout. We remain concerned about how and where water storage dollars will be appropriated. We understand priorities for where to spend these dollars are on two projects—an expansion of Los Vaqueros Reservoir in the East Bay and newly constructed Sites Reservoir, an off channel reservoir west of I-5 in the Sacramento Valley. The other project that gets mentioned is Temperance Flat, a new dam just above Millerton Reservoir (Friant Dam) on the San Joaquin.
These funds can also be used for groundwater storage, conjunctive use and reservoir re-operations—important points we lobbied for. Groundwater storage has huge potential and needed to part of this mix.
- $725 million—Water Recycling
This section was very important to Southern California legislators—storm water runoff, salt water intrusion mitigation, etc.
- $900 million—Groundwater Sustainability
Another important section that provides funding to implement groundwater reform legislation we are actively supporting. Groundwater treatment, storage and sustainable management. Conjunctive use of surface and groundwater supplies is critical to preparing for future droughts in California. The Water Bond is coordinated with pending groundwater management reform legislation.
- $520 million—Clean, Safe and Reliable Drinking Water
- $395 million—Flood Management
We worked hard on this section to make it not just about levees. We secured language that calls for projects to be multi-benefit projects—public safety and river healthy. This ties into our work at Knagg's Ranch and provides potential funding for future floodplain projects.
During drought times we need to find collaborative solutions that work for people and fish. Trout, steelhead and salmon are important indicators of watershed health and are important drivers of many rural and coastal economies. Work done to improve the status of these species directly benefits safe drinking water supplies, water quality, and the economic health of all Californians. We believe this water bond is a step in that direction.

"This proposal is an opportunity to positively contribute to the health of federally listed fish species in Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River, supports tribal interests, and will prove beneficial to Project irrigators for the 2014 water year during these critical drought conditions," said Reclamation's Mid-Pacific Deputy Regional Director Jason Phillips.
While the Bureau's news release does not make clear when any additional Klamath River flow releases will be made to protect adult salmon now moving into the lower river, it is welcome news that the Klamath water users, specifically PacifiCorp, step to the plate to protect these fish. It is especially important that terms of the newly revised Klamath Project biological opinion be followed, even in these difficult drought years.
CalTrout also welcomes Reclamation reconsidering the use of Trinity water if conditions in the lower Klamath deteriorate throughout the remainder of this drought season.

Eiler Fire Threatens Hat Creek
Two large wildfires burning in the Northern California threaten fisheries and the Hat Creek Restoration Site. The Eiler fire is still only 20% contained and burning less then 10 miles from our Hat Creek Restoration site. The Bald Fire is 30% contained and still threatens the town of Burney. Cassel, Johnson Park and Big Eddy Estates have all been evacuated and a Evacuation Advisory is still in effect for the town of Burney.
For updates on the fire see the stories at:
Truckee River Flows Drop
The flows have just significantly dropped on the Truckee river. That, compounded with already high water temperatures, is putting extra stress on the fish. Local anglers have decided to make an ethical call to stop fishing the river after noon. This is a good idea not only on the Truckee but something we can all think about on temperature impacted fisheries across the state.
The proposed 'Hoot Owl Closure' is explained in this video by catchsnaprelease.com in partnership with Truckee River Keepers. Please support the effort.

Groundwater Management: Today's Hot Topic…Finally
California remains the only state in the union without statewide regulation of groundwater. Lack of regulation creates an unsustainable 'tragedy of the commons' use of groundwater, especially during dry years. California's severe drought and full consequences of increased groundwater pumping — including dry wells, rivers drying up, and land subsidence—have heightened awareness of groundwater issues. Groundwater is a wonky topic, but important to fish because it often sustains river flows during drought.
CalTrout and other leaders have come together to make sure our state does the right thing, right now with the launch of the Groundwater Voices Coalition website, sponsored by the California Water Foundation. The site aims to educate decision makers about the need for more effective and sustainable groundwater management. Check it out and educate yourself on this important issue. www.groundwatervoices.com
In other groundbreaking groundwater news,
A Sacramento Superior Court judge issued a ruling Tuesday requiring regulation of groundwater pumping to protect a river in Siskiyou County. Attorneys on both sides say it's the first time a California court has ruled the "public trust doctrine" applies to groundwater. The doctrine says the State of California holds all waterways for the benefit of the people. The lawsuit claimed groundwater pumping in the Scott River Basin is partly responsible for decreased river flows – limiting the public's use of the river and harming fish habitat. …

Defying Courts And Congress, EPA Ups Mandate For Nonexistent Fuels INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Energy: In yet another green folly, the lawless Environmental Protection Agency continues to fine gasoline producers for not using cellulosic biofuels in quantities that don't exist, making only more pain at the pump. Last month, a federal court dealt a serious blow to the Environmental Protection Agency's renewable fuels push by ruling that the agency exceeded its authority by mandating refiners use cellulosic biofuels, which aren't commercially available. The EPA's lawless response in a lawless administration was to raise its requirements. In 2005 and 2007, Congress twice amended the Clean Air Act to establish a renewable fuel standard (RFS) that included a mandate to use cellulosic biofuels. If refiners failed to meet the goals, the EPA could fine them. The RFS set ambitious goals for cellulosic biofuels but at least charged the EPA with reducing the requirement if production was lower than the mandate. This the EPA simply ignored, issuing fines for failing to use this biofuel when it wasn't even available. As Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner points out in Politico, 2010, the first year of the mandate, the EPA projected 5 million gallons of cellulosic biofuels would be available. In fact, there were none. In 2011, the EPA increased the mandate to 6.5 million gallons. Again, the actual amount available was zero. Undeterred, in 2012, the EPA increased the required amount to 8.5 million gallons. The actual available amount was 25,000 gallons. This absurdity prompted the American Petroleum Institute (API) to file a lawsuit last year challenging the EPA's rulemaking. The API petitioned the court to review the EPA's January 2012 RFS. On Jan. 25, 2013, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed the EPA had exceeded its authority. "(W)e agree with API that EPA's 2012 projection of cellulosic biofuel production was in excess of the agency's statutory authority," reads the court decision. The court further told the agency: "The EPA points to no instance in which the term 'projected' is used to allow the projector to let its aspiration for a self-fulfilling prophecy divert it from a neutral methodology." The agency's response to the court's ruling, Sensenbrenner notes, was to nearly double its 2013 mandate from 8.5 million gallons to 14 million gallons. Different from corn- or sugar-based ethanol â? which have questionable benefits â? cellulosic ethanol is made from wood chips, switch grass and agricultural waste, such as corncobs. The EPA's requirement for 14 million gallons of the stuff is about as realistic as that trillion-dollar coin some have proposed to solve our fiscal problems. Sensenbrenner believes the EPA's policies and intransigence in the face of the law and reality are deliberate. In response to a letter he sent to the agency, the EPA wrote, "the standard that we set helps drive the production of volumes that will be made available." In other words, the Obama administration's environmental goals trump the law, the courts and industry capacity. If you can't meet our unrealistic goal, the EPA says, too bad. Just pass the costs on to the consumer, something for which the consumer will blame you, not us. As Tom Pyle of the Institute for Energy Research says, "the cellulosic biofuel program is the embodiment of government gone wild." Charles Drevna, President of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), a group of refiners, adds, "forcing us to use a product that doesn't exist, they might as well tell us to use unicorns." Of course, this comes from an Obama administration that insists we put more and more food in our tanks in the form of corn ethanol, even if it raises food prices, or produces less energy than a gallon of gasoline, and increases agricultural runoff into streams and rivers. It mandates the use of costly seasonal and regional blends. And don't forget algae â? the energy source of the future.

Thank you Lon, your article surely shows the sad situation the poor oil corporations are up against in Washington. We all know that the real world is where we live, oil spills, carbon emissions, tar sand excavation, mountain top removal for coal,,, all needed to make a buck. Without full reign of capitalist gain there is no way corporations can make enough money to give us $7/hr jobs! Wind, solar, geothermal, electric cars is just pie in the sky, we need less regulation of fossil fuels so we can live like the Chineese.

Continue Jay. Not just the mountain top for coal but the whole mountain to get enough rare earths to manufacture a storage battery to get to the coffee shop at the expense of the taxpayer to afford garnering more facts of coffee shop knowledge.

Gary Schnitkey at the University of Illinois wrote Tuesday at farmdocdaily that right now corn is looking at a 2014 market year average somewhere in the range of $3.65 to $4.35 a bushel. Under the new farm programs that will be rolled out later this fall, Schnitkey calculated that such price levels could mean ARC payments for Illinois farmers anywhere in the range of $77 per acre to $10 per acre at those price levels. A 200-bushel county average at $3.65 a bushel market-year average could still generate a $45 per acre payment.

Tottenham v Arsenal: North London derby rivals in 'critical' condition
Published: 14 March 2014
Updated: 12:27, 15 March 2014
March is a month when the pressure often begins to tell.
In differing ways, Tottenham and Arsenal are exhibiting signs that the critical period both find themselves in at present is taking its toll.
For Spurs, the signs of affliction are predominantly mental. Tim Sherwood felt sufficiently misrepresented by his players to launch a withering attack on their capitulation during last weekend's 4-0 defeat by Chelsea.
As if to remove any uncertainty as to whether he had been speaking in the heat of the moment at Stamford Bridge, Sherwood continued in the same vein on Wednesday by insisting the players had to respond to such criticism because "I am their manager, not their babysitter".
He was less critical of the team following last night's damaging Europa League last-16, first-leg defeat at home to Benfica but there has been a sense that he is a temporary carer only in place until the elders arrive.
The 45-year-old has mixed defiance and talk of planning for next season with frustration over a lack of support from chairman Daniel Levy with Louis van Gaal casting several flirtatious glances in the club's direction.
That frustration has inevitably multiplied as League results have stalled. A clear gap has opened up between the top four and Tottenham, while Manchester United and Everton are threatening in behind. This is a key period for Sherwood with the return leg at Benfica coming before League games at home to Southampton and away at Liverpool.
Once April arrives, Spurs only have games left against teams in the bottom half of the table, with three of their six games against 17th place or lower.
Arsenal's calendar is similar in that their toughest challenges are the most immediate. Sunday's game precedes a trip to Chelsea before Swansea, Manchester City and Everton. Matches against West Ham, Hull, Newcastle, West Brom and Norwich afford the Gunners a chance to finish strongly.
And so Sunday's match is pivotal for both and an important factor will be handling the strains that are created by such a demanding run at this time of year. If Tottenham's vulnerabilities are mental — although in this instance they will have two days fewer than their opponents to recover after last night's defeat — then Arsenal's are physical.
Mesut Ozil became the latest name on an injury list that is mounting in an all too familiar manner. Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, Nacho Monreal and Yaya Sanogo were absent in Munich and, having thought he might be able to call on Aaron Ramsey after a thigh injury, Arsene Wenger has been denied the Welshman's services for another two weeks due to "difficulties in the final stages of his rehab".
Along with Per Mertesacker, Ramsey was Arsenal's stand-out performer until injury on Boxing Day brought an abrupt halt to the best four-month spell of his career in which he scored 15 goals for club and country.
The fixture list has compounded Arsenal's European excursions this season; their last two matches after travelling back from overseas Champions League engagements were in Manchester, firstly at United and then City. Both ended in defeat. Last season's positive performance at Bayern also ended in aggregate defeat but proved the catalyst for a remarkable late surge of 26 points from a possible 30 — with the added motivation of an FA Cup semi-final against Wigan to come, Wenger needs Tuesday's defiant draw to have the same uplifting effect.
It would be premature to declare Sunday's match decisive for either side — last year's 2-1 victory for Tottenham in this fixture opened up a seven-point gap and prompted Andre Villas-Boas to talk of Arsenal descending into a "negative spiral" only for Spurs to be spun out of the Champions League places and finish a point below their rivals.
But a win for either side would galvanise them for the tasks ahead when the pressure intensifies still further.

And to clarify, I am not advocating violence at all, nor am I saying the hippie non-violent way isn't the right way to go in some instances. Violence would probably be the worst idea. None of us have any kind of power through weaponry or technology to challenge even 1 well-equipped soldier. Anyone that resorts to violence these days can be easily defeated.
There are other ways to do things though.
Holding a sign and whining will do nothing.
Lying in the street will do nothing.
We (the US) are the glue holding this world together in some sort of order. To challenge that is to challenge every nation that benefits or is a hopeless slave to our country.
New methods are needed.
Ya can't use violence bruvva.... It's what they want, it gives em an excuse.... You can use stern and non violent ways....
You can stand your ground, and get pounded... it takes more courage to lay face down and get pulverised than it does to fight them back.....
But what you speak of is something that can be coordinated on mass, to take em out..... like a massive storm to parliament house or something.... Well technically, lawfully, you can join arms, and use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances to walk right in and say politely.... GET THE FUCK OUT..... you could get away with it at law... because the non violent people, and perhaps even violent wars and battles create the laws, the defences we have even today....
We just know nothing, we know nothing, and how can we, our heads are full of their shit... we need to not buy into any of their shit.... thats the start....
I'm not talking about a mass storming of the capitol either.
If you think the US government is good at being on top, then you must admit that they're probably good at foreign policy (whether or not their actions look retarded to us).
What are their normal tactics? First diplomacy, then bribery, then balckmail and subversion, then false flags, then war. If it is acceptable for them, and it is a given that they will engage in these tactics against those that oppose them, then what obligation do we have to not engage the same tactics once we are targeted?

Rain & rumbles will be scattered about the area Friday...but most of the activity will remain well below severe levels. A few storms could try and flare in the heating of the day by afternoon.
Rain redevelops from south to north late Saturday night through Sunday. There is no threat for severe weather with that batch. A secondary surge of severe weather ingredients will commence late Sunday night and could spark a more significant episode of severe weather into early Monday morning. The extent of this event remains unclear at this time, but has the potential to be one to pay attention to.

Can't go wrong with a coffee milkshake with a scoop of hot fudge inside! My favorite ice cream in all of Austin!
This is my favorite location of the Amy's Ice Cream shops. Their ice cream is great; you must have the Mexican Vanilla! They did an amazing mix-in with this flavor and Oreos, a salute to the Mexican free-tailed bats that live under the Congress Street Bridge (see what they did there?). Loved the movie trivia questions on the chalkboard, and...
Their not-so-classic ice cream flavors are very yummy. Also, get the chocolate sprinkles, they're actual chocolate, not just glorified sugar chunks.
I never tire of coming to Amy's. There are always unique flavors and creative ways it is served. Behind the back toss, across the street toss, etc... They are doing their part of keeping Austin creative! And keeping the sweet tooth satisfied!
It was love at first ice cream bite! Amy's always offer different and creative flavors, as well as the usual flavors (belgian chocolate was my top choice). They offer a variety of toppings and play with the ice cream before landing it on your bowl. The staff is attentive and nice.
This is ice cream with an emphasis on cream (and butter). It never melts, even in your arteries. It is extremely rich and sweet. I loathe this ice cream. But I'm partial to gelato and froyo and things that are cold and light and flavorful. The only thing worse than Amy's ice cream is Amy's froyo. Disgusting.
Took our visiting grandchildren there on one of the triple digit temperature days! Small interior, but quaint and eclectic! The staff keep you entertained as you wait in line! They throw the ice cream in the air and then catch it in the cone or cup, which thoroughly entertained us all. We all ordered something different, but all agreed that...
We'd never been to Amy's, but read it was good. So we found the one on 6th street and were treated to ice cream with a generous sampling showmanship. Our server scooped, and pounded rhythms, and sent our ice cream flying up and around and into cups. He told us ice cream taste better when it's air borne. His final...
Amy's is a fun, delicous place to go for dessert. The folks are always so nice and the ice cream is delicious. I got the Mexican Vanilla with chocolate peanut butter cups. Fantastic!
I wasn't really sure that Amy's would be any different than any other ice cream establishment. I realize it gets rave reviews but its just ice cream - it actually surpassed my expectations. Based on reviews, I chose the Mexican Vanilla and mixed in Nutter Butters and chocolate cake. The Mexican Vanilla has a really wonderful flavor - like no...

Materials and Tools:
9-1/2" x 45" silk velvet *
coordinating thread
silk ribbons:
- six 1-1/2" x 21" pieces
- four 1" x 21" pieces
awl or ice pick
crochet hook (I used a #3)
scissors or rotary cutter
1/4" wide fusible webbing tape
sewing machine
* Cut carefully. It's tricky.
1. Cut the selvedge ends off the velvet. Iron a length of the 1/4-inch fusible tape along each end of the velvet. Fold velvet over and press to form a hem.
2. Fold the length of velvet in half with right sides facing. Stitch the length of velvet together with a 1/2-inch seam. Do not stitch the ends closed.
4. With an awl, punch five evenly spaced holes along each end of the scarf, positioning them just above the hem to avoid having to punch through four layers of fabric instead of two. Be sure that you punch through the two layers (front and back of scarf) at the same time so the holes will line up perfectly.
5. Starting at the center hole, push the crochet hook through the hole and pick up a length of the wider ribbon folded in half. Pull it through the hole and form a lark's head knot.
6. Repeat the process with two more of the wider ribbon lengths, pulling them through the holes on the outside edges of the scarf. Make certain the ribbon covers the corners.
