Girl_Loves_Hydraulics | LMAO my german grandma is going to have a field day when I tell her my dog's name then...I "think" I got it right, but totally by accident. Since Lena was an accidental litter, she did not have a kennel name so she is now Von Mozart's Lena. My mother was a music major and Mozart is one of her favorite composers (and mine also). Oh well, she is just Lena Bean to me! lol | |

[QUOTE=wolfstraum I have now had several native speaking Germans tell me I should have used "vom" and others said "von" is right....[/QUOTE] What a great name! Your informants' native speaker intuition was right on both counts because both options are the same and only differ in terms of whether a contraction is used (just like you can say is not OR isn't) - von is right because it's "von dem Wolfstraum" [der Traum, masc noun changes to dem] - vom is right because it's simply the contracted form of "Von dem Wolfstraum" [von+dem = vom] The simple truth is there is just ONE "V" word and it is VON! But it comes along in various combinations: - von - by itself, e.g. with just a family name (no article) - von + dem (= vom) as the contracted version with masculine nouns (i.e. 'von' is still hidden in there). - von der / von den (where you can't contract with feminine or plural nouns following, otherwise you'd get von+der=*vonr or von+den = *vonn - which would be a bit like I am not = I amn't, ) In answer to Nasq's question therefore: 1) Kennel VOM/VON HAUS NASGUEWEITZ > Vom = von dem Haus 2) Kennel VOM/VON NASGUEWEITZ > Von = e.g. if Nasgueweitz is a family name Clear as mud, isn't it?

I think this is as complicated as English!!!! My kennel name was done by a veterinarian friend from Germany....native speaker...we were going for an idea that followed suite of my horses names (Sheer Fantasy and Heir of Dreams - mother and daughter)....and wanted to incorporate "Wolf"....Fantasy was way too unwieldy, so we went with Dream... I have now had several native speaking Germans tell me I should have used "vom" and others said "von" is right.... Lee |

Not too long ago I purchased an AKC/UKC American Eskimo Dog from Amar's Kennels. Here's how we worked it out. The breeder required us to begin with Amar's. The Sire is Amar's Dangerous Dan, The Dam SR Touching Fame. (or Touching Flame via AKC) We named Kizzy , Amar's Dangerous Flame to honor her parents, and kennel. In regards to your own kennel name. If you do have a full registration, and have a litter of pups that are either UKC or AKC, or Both (Or CKC, ETC) Then you would begin your own kennel. In regards to being a registered breeder, breeder of merit, or other titles given by different clubs, that varys. My breeder would only allow me full registration if I agreed to show my dog. Others offer limited (Like I'm working with now), for two years, and offer to switch to full if you meet the requirements of genetic screening for various defects. This breeder is concerned for the well being of the breed. No full registration if they do not meet health requirements. I hope this comes in handy. I've been researching. Would like to breed eventually. I currently have a 3 mos old GSD, but due to the breeder having complications getting the sire's papers; she will not be a breeding candidate. |

VOM or VON? I hope you guys can help me with this Thanks a lot . |

@SpookyShepherd: Sorry that din't answer your question at all. since Hawkhurst is a given name it would be "Von Hawkhurst" if you want to translate it could be something like "Vom Habichtswäldchen"...the original hawkhurst sounds much more badass though. |
Maeuselchen Hasenherz |
I'm not a liguist, but I'm a native speaker and this is how I would use it so that it doesn't sound wrong in my ears. Vom is actually a combined word of Von an the dativ article dem for masculine or neutrum Nouns, so it means of the. The question to ask to get the Dativ object in a sentence would be wem or in old english whom. Wem gehört dieser Hund?- Das ist der Hund von dem Gärtner. To whom does this dog belong? -That's the dog of the Gardener. Von wem stammt dieser Hund ab? -Von dem Rüden da drüben. whom does it come of? -Of the male dog over there. the feminine form would be Von der like the medieval poet Walther von der Vogelweide. Vom is also always specific while von alone can als be inspecific. der Hund von dem Mädchen (The dog of that girl) is specific, while Der Hund von jemandem. the dog of somebody doesn't tell us anything about the owner of the dogs except that he or she is owning a dog. And then there is this thing with the given names. If the is a name after it, it is always von and not vom or von der. So it is Von Schmied if the breeder's name is Schmied but it is vom Schmied if the breeder's profession is being a smith. That's why in kennel names Von Waldhof (of Forest Farm) is right because it is the name of the farm where they breed as well as Vom Waldhof (of the forest farm) hen the farm the kennel is located is actually in a forest. *according to my dictionary "hurst" is a little forest. so it would be "Hag", "wald"/"Wäldchen" (little forest) or "Forst". how ever i think that the "hurst" looks a lot like a "Horst" which is the nest of a bird of prey. and a Hawk/habicht is such bird, so that would fit to. |

SpookyShepherd, I grew up speaking German and have worked professional jobs and lived in the US and Germany. Resorting to the dictionary to sort this out won't give you the best answer. You want to express that your kennel is from Hawkhurst. The dictionary will give you von and aus as translations for from. You need to understand where to use each. If you're telling me where you live, or where you were originally from, you would use aus. For example, to say you come from Hawkhurst you would write "Ich komme aus Hawkhurst." However, in the title of a kennel you want to tell me where it is located so you use von. To figure out whether you say von or vom you will need to know the gramatical gender of the noun it refers to. There is no rule in German that governs this although there are many patterns. Generally, nouns that refer to females are given the feminine gender die (for example die Frau). However, there are exceptions (for example, das Weib). If you study German you will simply need to remember the genders. For nouns that fall outside of the patterns you will not be able to guess, there simply is no rule for this in German. There isn't even a rule that governs the patterns, they are simply patterns. However, you're luck in this case. You want to use a foreign word and in German most (but not all!) foreign words use the neuter gender das. Initially in German your kennel would be called "von dem Hawkhurst." However, German contracts von and dem to form vom. Therefore, the correct name of your kennel would be "vom Hawkhurst." Hope this helps. |

Liesje | If it's not a German word, I'm not sure. "vom" would be my guess just based on how it sounds/feels to say, or maybe go by whatever gender is assigned to the German word for "hurst" (if there is one?). | |

A reduced supply coming in from China could mean higher prices for domestic garlic, growers say.
China's supply of garlic, which is typically more than 75% of the world's garlic supply, is set to be down this year, according to Louis Hymel, director of purchasing and marketing for Spice World Inc., Orlando, Fla.
"Demand is strong, especially with the Chinese crop being (up) to 40% short this season, therefore creating more demand on California," he said.
Joe Lane, a partner in The Garlic Co., Bakersfield, Calif., agreed.
"All the rumors we're hearing out of China are that they expect to have less garlic, and less large-size fresh garlic coming to the U.S., so that's a good sign for us," Lane said.
He says the Chinese crop should help set the prices here higher.
"When China has a light crop, we get a higher price and a higher demand," he said.
"It will affect the U.S. market quite a bit," said Jim Provost, president of I Love Produce LLC, West Grove, Pa.
He expects the lesser volume will mean a higher price, especially in fresh garlic.
"Prices for garlic are going up, and that will impact Mexico, California and Argentina. It should make for a good year," he said.
Hymel agreed.
"Market prices are firm and should remain strong," Hymel said.
Provost said the higher prices should last until late spring 2013, when next year's season will begin. However, he said off-grade garlic for processing, which makes up about half of the garlic consumed in the U.S., should still have adequate supplies, so peeled garlic won't be affected as much.
"The market is still stronger, but quality and supply won't be as affected," he said.
Potential problems
Another effect of China's reduced supply is the size of the garlic itself.
"Probably about half of the garlic sold in the U.S. is a five-count bag of Chinese garlic, and that garlic will be smaller in size than normal," Provost said.
He says that in order to deal with this change, I Love Produce will probably pack a smaller size of garlic in those bags instead of the typical super jumbo or colossal size.
Promotion planning also will be affected as the market is still a little volatile, making the season a tough one to promote, according to Provost.
"There's still some uncertainty in the market. By the end of August, we will have a clearer picture of the coming season so it will be more likely to have promotions then."

DINUBA, Calif. — BASF Crop Protection. has taken a more holistic approach when it comes to marketing fungicides.
Rather than talking just about disease control, the Research Triangle Park, N.C.-based company promotes the overall health benefits the fungicides provide plants.
The philosophical change was apparent at a June 25 field day in Dinuba, Calif., where company representatives talked about Merivon and Priaxor, two new fungicides
"Even small changes in the plant's physiology can make big differences in the overall yield," says Jennifer Holland, a technical market specialist.
If human workers are in good health, they typically are happier and more productive.
The same holds true for crops.
Without disease stressors, stomata on the plant leaves tend to remain open longer, resulting in increased photosynthesis, Holland says.
More photosynthesis leads to more energy production—energy that can boost yields and enhance crop quality, she says.
"Photosynthesis counts when you're talking about yield and talking about quality," Holland says.
At the Dinuba field station, researchers are able to stretch the limits and create worst-case scenarios that really put products in development to the test, says Kate Walker, a technical services representative for the California Central Coast, Southern California and Arizona.
Each year, they conduct 450-500 trials, says Curtis Rainbolt, station director.
Both Merivon and its sister product, Priaxor, are premixes of BASF's earlier fungicide, F500, a strobilurin also known as pyraclostrobin, and Xemium.
Pyraclostrobin is the sole active ingredient in Cabrio and is a member of the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee's Group 11, which contains QoIs.
It also is part of the premix Pristine. The other ingredient is boscalid, a FRAC Group 7.
Xemium, or fluxapyroxad, is a newer carboximide fungicide in the same FRAC group as boscalid.
Merivon contains a 1:1 ratio of F500 to Xemium and will be registered for pome fruit, stone fruit, strawberries and tree nuts. BASF representatives say they expect federal registration the third quarter of this year. California and New York registration will lag behind.
Priaxor contains a 2:1 ratio and is already federally registered for potatoes and tomatoes. It targets early blight, black mold, Septoria leaf spot, target spot and anthracnose.
An expanded label that includes other fruiting vegetables also is expected the third quarter of this year.
In most markets except for grapes, BASF will slowly replace Pristine with Merivon or Priaxor, says Steve Broscious, technical market manager.
In the other crops, Merivon provides better disease control than Pristiine and that's why the company plans to phase out Pristine, he says.
In grapes, BASF researchers didn't see significant disease control improvements with Merivon. So Pristine will remain in the grape market, Broscious says.
In Florida strawberries, Merivon controls botrytis gray mold, including those strains with multiple resistance to boscalid and QoIs.
"It's effective on those strains of botrytis, so we see big things there," Broscious says. "It's the number 1 product in terms of the length of post-harvest disease control.
"But I think growers need to be careful to manage their modes of action."
Although the label recommends making no more than two consecutive applications of Merivon before rotating to a different mode of action, Broscious says he'd prefer to see only one application before switching to further reduce the chances of resistance developing.

Weight Watchers Smart Ones Fruit Inspirations meals are new fruit inspired recipes developed with the help of celebrity chef Devin Alexander, author of The Biggest Loser Cookbook and host of Discovery Health's Healthy Decadence.
I tried the Orange Sesame Chicken which is "inspired" by mandarin oranges. The meal consists of breaded chicken tenderloins in a zesty sesame orange sauce with rice. At first, I had a bite of the rice mixed with the sauce. It was very sweet but a little bland. The chicken is the real star of the meal. There are big chunks which are breaded, but not in the way that there is more breading than there is meat. It's also nice and tender, not too dry and excellent with the sauce.
The Weight Watchers Fruit Inspirations Orange Sesame Chicken meal has 320 calories, 8 grams of fat which is 12% of the recommended daily amount, 1.5 grams of saturated fat (6% of the RDA), 7% of the RDA for cholesterol, 28% of the RDA for sodium, 14 grams of protein and 48 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 12 grams of sugar and 2 grams of fiber which is 8% of the RDA.
A bit too much sodium - I don't think it's too much to ask to keep the sodium in meals to under 25% - do you? A box cost $2.92 and although this meal can only be "inspired" by oranges because its close to the bottom of the ingredients list, overall, I enjoyed it and would buy it again when I'm in the mood for something with a sweet taste.

Residents of the Southland are closing the books on a year that saw the return of a much beloved parade, the departure of a much vilified governor and the closing act of a political dynasty in one suburb.
A large regional hospital moved into a new home in 2012, while another health care provider got the green light from the state for a major expansion. A two-decade campaign to bring a dedicated housing facility for the region's homeless came to fruition.
Here are some of the more notable news events that took place in, or otherwise impacted, the Southland this year.
Former Eisenhower High School football player Rasul "Rocky" Clark died Jan. 5 at age 27. Clark lived the last 11 years of his life as a quadriplegic after suffering a spinal cord injury during a high school football game in 2000.
Also in January, an Orland Park man became an international curiosity after accidentally shooting a 3 1/2-inch nail into his brain — the nail wasn't discovered until more than a day after it happened.
Patients and staff of Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet moved Feb. 26 to a new 289-bed hospital in New Lenox.
On March 11, the South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade returned to Chicago's Beverly community after a nearly three-year hiatus, accompanied by a heavy police presence and security measures aimed at keeping a lid on hooliganism. The resurrected parade stepped off on a somber note, led by members of Marine Cpl. Conner Lowry's family. Lowry, of Beverly, died in combat March 1 while serving in Afghanistan.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich reported to a federal prison in Colorado on March 15 to begin serving a 14-year sentence after his conviction on corruption charges.
Cook County officials say a birder alerted them to a pair of American bald eagles that had established a nest at Tampier Slough in Palos Township.
Lunchtime at the Ashford House restaurant in Tinley Park turned into chaos on May 19 when, police said, a group of five Indiana men wielding metal batons and other weapons attacked a group of suspected white supremacists meeting inside the restaurant.
Kaylah Lentine, a 14-year-old Hometown girl, died May 25, one day after being struck by a pickup truck as she walked to Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School, where the eighth-grader was to have received a leadership award.
Crestwood Mayor Robert Stranczek announced May 29 he would not seek re-election in April 2013. It will be the first time in more than half a century that the Stranczek name isn't on a municipal ballot in the suburb.
Crete officials voted June 11 to withdraw the village from consideration as a site for a proposed immigrant detention center. A private company, Corrections Corporation of America, was to have built and operated the center for the federal government.
Sauk Village residents packed a July 17 village board meeting demanding officials take action to improve the quality of drinking water after the state issued a notice about elevated levels of a cancer-causing chemical in the water.
On Aug. 28, Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed legislation that would have cleared the way for a casino in the Southland. In November, Country Club Hills and a developer announced they're working on a $250 million casino project in the event new legislation expanding gambling in Illinois is amenable to the governor.
A Will County jury on Sept. 6 convicted former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson of murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Bryan Craig, a Rich Township High School District 227 counselor and former varsity girls basketball coach, is fired Sept. 18 after writing a sexually explicit self-help book rife with his controversial and often crude views on women and sex. Craig is suing the district in federal court.
The Sept. 25 grand opening of the Country Club Hills Wellness Center caps a 20-year campaign to establish a facility dedicated to housing the Southland's homeless.
Teachers and students in Evergreen Park School District 124 were back in the classroom Oct. 15 after a nearly two-week strike. A settlement was reached after an 11-hour negotiating session.
Chicago Fire Department Capt. Herbie Johnson, of Chicago's Morgan Park community, died of inhalation injuries Nov. 2 while battling a fire on the city's Southwest Side. He was the first Chicago firefighter to die in the line of duty since 2010.
On Nov. 21, after a paid leave of absence that began June 10, Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned from the U.S. Congress, setting up a Feb. 26 special primary election. Voters in the 2nd Congressional District will elect a new representative April 9.
A state review board on Dec. 10 approved a scaled-down expansion at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Plans call for building a seven-story patient tower. The hospital is at work on a new tower to house outpatient services.
On Dec. 18, the search for two escapees from a federal prison in Chicago focused for a time on Tinley Park, prompting many local school officials — with the Newtown, Conn., massacre fresh in their minds — to not let students outside for activities such as recess.

text: New Orleans is built upon layer after layer of strata, and its population followed suit. The current Pontchartrain Expressway, running from Pontchartrain Boulevard to the Union Passenger terminal, located at Loyola Avenue, was built along the route formerly known as New Basin Canal. In 1831, the New Orleans Canal and Banking Company was formed to begin construction of the canal, which was to connect Lake Pontchartrain through the "swamp" to the Uptown section of New Orleans. By 1838, after an expense of $1million, the 60-foot wide, three- mile long canal was complete enough to be opened to small vessels. It took seven years to build, and countless lives of the Irish immigrants who were coming to the city in hordes back then. Yellow fever in New Orleans in the 19th century was a ruthless killer. Estimates range from 4,000 to 30,000 deaths of immigrant Irish workers digging the canal. Today, the canal has long since been closed For more information, see www.irishchannelno.org/ New Orleans is as much Irish in its heritage as it is French or Spanish. It's not just about green beer. New Orleans grew physically to accommodate new residents, making it the second largest population of Irish immigrants, only to New York City."The Irish were the catalyst for making New Orleans a metropolitan city," says Fitzmorris. According to Tulane historian Terrence Fitzmorris, "The city's vibrant economy based on trade drew immigrants like the Irish. They were part of the powerful regional and Atlantic economy that made New Orleans a global city."

Kicking the Coal Habit
America may be coming to grips with the dark side of our cheapest, most abundant energy source, but a plan to unload it on Asia threatens to poison our planet.
What is the future of coal-fired power? Is it a "dead man walking," as defined by Kevin Parker, Deutsche Bank's global head of asset management, who notes that banks won't finance it, insurance companies won't insure it, and the EPA is after it? Or is it an economic elixir that will rouse comatose Americans from the canvas like Rocky Balboa and "together . . . power the next great comeback [with] clean coal," as depicted in the TV ads of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity?
Probably neither.
One of the strongest voices for coal-industry reform is Ann Weeks, litigation counsel for the Clean Air Task Force, a non-profit focused on protecting air and climate. She offers this: "The problem with wind and solar is that they're intermittent--the wind doesn't blow all the time, and the sun doesn't shine all the time. You have to store the extra, and we don't have that technology. I think we have to resign ourselves to finding a solution that cleans up coal."But we already have that in "clean coal," right?
Not hardly. "Clean coal" is a term concocted for the industry by R&R Partners, the ad agency that, by hatching the equally brazen untruth "What happens here stays here," helped Sin City seduce gullible tourists into gambling away their money and marriages. The Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition's Vivian Stockman provides "clean coal's" best definition: "the mother of all oxymorons."
Among the costs of mining, processing, and burning coal are mountains, prairies, rivers, lakes, fish, wildlife, livestock, people, and climate. And while pollution-control technology captures some of the poisons and carcinogens that mix with air and water, calling treated coal waste "clean" is the equivalent of settling out solids from municipal sewage, piping what's left into public reservoirs, and labeling it "sanitized effluent."
America is moving away from coal. Three years ago plans were under way for at least 150 new coal plants, but not one has broken ground since--largely because natural gas is cheaper and cleaner. Our existing coal plants tend to be old and decrepit, and expensive and difficult to retrofit with required pollution-control technology. In fact the Associated Press reports that this will cause the inevitable shutdown of 32 facilities (mostly coal-fired) and the possible shutdown of 36 others.
Still, the world's largest private-sector coal producer, Peabody Energy, may be right when it proclaims that "coal's best days are ahead." This is because it and other companies plan to sell strip-mined coal to Asia. They propose to move it by train to ports in Washington and Oregon from the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana--an area the size of West Virginia. Most of the basin's springs and shallow aquifers are in coal seams, and are poisoned and desiccated by strip mining. As a result, much of the cost of vastly expanded strip mining for the Asian market would be borne by wildlife, farmers, and ranchers.
Peabody Energy is the main player in a plan to annually extract an additional 50 million tons of Powder River Basin coal for sale to Asia. The company claims that port expansion near Bellingham, Washington (at Cherry Point), and construction of new rail lines would create "8,400 direct, indirect, and induced jobs" and inject $900 million into the economy. Similar though smaller projects are planned at Longview and Grays Harbor in Washington and Coos Bay, Port St. Helens, and near Boardman in Oregon.
China, where most of the coal would go, is building the equivalent of two 500-megawatt coal-fired plants each week. Although it produces twice as much coal as the United States, it has gone from a net coal exporter in 2008 to a net importer today.
Writing in Yale Environment 360, an online magazine, Jonathan Thompson draws an apt comparison between exporting coal and exporting tobacco, calling coal "the cigarette of our new age." A quarter-century ago the tobacco industry was also comatose on the canvas. Medical evidence had given the lie to its mantra that smoking and cancer weren't linked; no longer could it advertise on television or radio; and on its very packaging it had to warn customers against using its product.Then it found a market in Asia (mostly China) so lucrative as to "confound the imagination," as a Philip Morris vice president effused. Tobacco companies sponsor at least 100 elementary schools in China, where 16 million kids under 15 smoke. "Talent comes from hard work--tobacco helps you become talented," reads foot-high, gilt lettering on the side of China's Sichuan Tobacco Hope Elementary.
Coal isn't far behind firearm homicides or drunk driving in killing people, annually causing 24,000 heart attacks, 217,600 asthma attacks, and dispatching 13,200 Americans, according to the Clean Air Task Force. And the toll is undoubtedly higher in China, where citizens are demonstrating against coal power by the tens of thousands.
So mortality and morbidity are what we'd be exporting along with our coal.
To learn what Americans can expect from the deal, I visited the Powder River Basin in February. From Billings I drove two hours east to Colstrip, Montana, an 88-year-old community of 2,300 built because of the adjacent Rosebud strip mine--now 50 square miles and which feeds a midtown power plant owned, in part, by PPL Generation. The "city," as it calls itself, would have been "Coalstrip" had not a spelling error permanently disappeared the "a."
Colstrip residents overwhelmingly support the mine and plant. Less sanguine are other Montanans who depend less on coal but who pay for it in fish, wildlife, livestock, and quality of life. This seems especially unjust because Montana's hunters, anglers, and ranchers (more often than not the same people) are arguably the most enlightened in the nation. For example, this group and the wildlife managers they've hired have broken with counterparts in Wyoming and Idaho in accepting wolves.And represented by one of our most progressive state fish and wildlife agencies, they've shown the world that superimposing hatchery trout on wild populations is wasteful and counterproductive (see "Trout Are Wildlife, Too," September-October 2002).
If you figure in real costs, coal is a net loss for Montanans, and even if you don't, much of the alleged profit migrates out of state. The mine is owned by Westmoreland Coal Co., based in Colorado. The plant is primarily owned by Washington's Puget Sound Energy. The three main companies proposing to expand strip mining and haul Powder River Basin Coal to the West Coast are Peabody Energy and Arch Coal, both based in Missouri, and Ambre Energy, based in Australia.
A month before I arrived in Colstrip I'd asked Jesse Noel of Western Energy (a Westmoreland subsidiary) for a tour of the Rosebud mine, explaining that while he wouldn't like my article, he'd like it better if I could get the company's perspective and not just that of the local populace. He said he'd "run it up the flagpole," then called back to say his company wasn't "interested" in showing me its operation because "the last few articles have not shown us in a favorable light."
Fortunately (for me, at least) the Sierra Club's Mike Scott agreed to give me a tour of the mine. Scott, 32, doesn't fit the popular image of a Sierra Club official. The tall, athletic goat rancher and big-game hunter came to the club three years ago from the Northern Plains Resource Council, a group formed by local farmers and ranchers to stop mine development and resulting power plants from completely destroying their way of life. Scott knows roads that Western Energy can't legally block and that offer a true picture of open-pit strip mining as opposed to the sanitized view the company showed journalists when it was on friendlier terms with them.
Confronting us was a flatland version of the mountaintop removal I'd seen in West Virginia. "Overburden," the industry's word for wildflowers, grasses, forbs, shrubs, trees, and topsoil, had been bulldozed away. Two-hundred-foot-high draglines bit into eight-story-deep coal seams blown to rubble with ammonium nitrate. Giant trucks with tires 12 feet in diameter hauled the rubble to be ground to sugar-fine dust blasted into perpetual fireballs under PPL's four boilers at the rate of a railroad-car load every five minutes.
Here and there we encountered pools of water. Companies can't let it sit in their mines, so they get state permits to divert it to rivers--in this case tributaries of the Yellowstone and Tongue. One of the many health threats of strip mining is "fugitive dust," and on this day it swirled around us in yellow clouds. Not only does it accumulate in lung tissue of humans and wildlife, it pollutes wetlands, streams, and lakes. The industry tells locals that it's safe, that they shouldn't worry about it--and to avoid it.
A strip-mining company must post a bond to partly cover costs of reclamation should it go bust. And the bond isn't released until work passes muster with the Interior Department (on federal land) or the appropriate state agency if it's on state land. In Montana one-tenth of one percent of the strip-mined land has qualified for bond release; in Wyoming the figure is four percent. As we gazed out over the vast moonscape in front of us, Scott declared: "To me this is just as bad as mountaintop removal. But western coal mining is framed as somehow more benign. I think that's because no one lives here and it's easier to hide."
Despite the devastation we encountered, Montana is pristine compared with Wyoming. Wyoming provides 40 percent of the nation's coal, Montana about 4 percent.
Back in town we inspected the power plant. Three weeks earlier I'd asked David Hoffman, PPL's state director of external affairs, for an inside tour, making the same pitch to him I'd made to Western Energy--that my article would offend less if I could get a firsthand look at the company's operation and meet with the folks who ran it. He declined.
Four stacks belched smoke to a cloudless sky. The two shorter ones topped boilers and 358-megawatt generators built in 1975 and 1976 and designed for 30-year lifespans. The boilers and 778-megawatt generators under each of the taller stacks were constructed in 1984 and 1986. An analysis of EPA data done by the Associated Press shows that the plant is the nation's eighth-most-prolific greenhouse-gas producer.
Scrubbers, which saturate coal smoke with water, remove some of the poison-laden ash. The contaminated water is then shot into the plant's "ash ponds." By any definition coal ash is hazardous waste. But when it appeared that the EPA would designate it as such and thereby require the industry to invest in safe disposal, coal ash got designated as mere "solid waste."
The plant's certificate from the state Board of Natural Resources and Conservation required that the ash ponds not leak. So when they began poisoning entire aquifers then-owner Montana Power got a court to allow "seepage," as if this were somehow different than "leakage." PPL claims to have lined some of its ash ponds with plastic, but leakage (seepage) appears to be ongoing. Fifty-seven citizens sued PPL for damage to their water, collecting $25 million in 2008.
Water for steam, pumped from the Yellowstone River, is stored in a "surge pond" that overflows into Armells Creek and, according to residents, drowns cottonwoods and wipes out productive ranchland for miles to the west by drawing salts from the earth and converting grass to cattails.
"Coal is cheap," Rosebud mine's neighbor Nick Golder told me at his ranch just north of Lame Deer, "because the industry doesn't pay its bills." Golder started ranching here in 1947 and since then has spent more time than he can afford working to save the local livestock industry from the mine and power plant. "Ranchers are independent people," he said. "But we saw we had to join together, and we formed the Northern Plains Resource Council. Anyone in the proximity of the strip mine has lost water. If reclamation was done properly, it would restore aquifers, too. Downwind of the power plant grass is stunted and won't head out [go to seed]. Upwind it's mostly fine. Misting [spraying ash water heavenward to evaporate it] puts the stuff back in the air that they took out in the first place. We laugh at a dog for chasing its tail, but at least he doesn't pay to do it."
Perhaps because of past overgrazing the Powder River Basin is often perceived as desiccated and dead, but it is rich wildlife habitat with rolling hills cloaked in grasses, shrubs, and trees. I was reminded of what's at stake when Golder's ranching partner, Brad Sauer, drove me in his pickup truck through backland too rough for my rental car. Barely visible on distant slopes, white pronghorn rumps mixed with black steer backs like rice and beans. Mule deer filed across ridgetops. Raptors soared. A cock pheasant sprinted into sage. At an ancient homestead a coal seam showed in a rock formation three feet above ground. We dismounted to inspect golden sandstone spires inscribed with Indian petroglyphs and 19th-century rancher graffiti. To our south rose Deer Medicine Rocks, on which Sitting Bull, inspired by a prolonged fast, carved his accurate vision of Custer's approach.
Above the basin's shallow coal deposits dwell cougars, bobcats, bears, elk, deer, black-tailed prairie dogs, black-footed ferrets, and 250 bird species. In the words of Mike Scott, this is "the iconic West that so many people on the coasts have seen in westerns but never get to experience--a landscape that breaks your heart with its desolate beauty and abundance of life."
In Forsyth I met Clint McRae, another Rosebud neighbor, rancher, and Northern Plains Resource Council activist. When I asked him how he felt about the coal around his ranch going to China, he said: "If it's for a plant in the United States, that's one thing. But they're talking about using condemnation to take my private land [for a rail line] so they can haul coal to a communist country. This is a game changer."
McRae views what's planned for the Powder River Basin in the same light as TransCanada Corporation's proposal to seize the property of U.S. citizens and endanger them and their wildlife by piping the planet's dirtiest oil across America's middle for sale to China (see "Tarred and Feathered," July-August 2011).
"There are people furious with Obama for calling the bluff of Congress and taking another look at the XL pipeline," he declared. "He did a gutsy thing. Finally someone stood up. Republicans used to represent property rights; they used to represent me. Now they represent multibillion-dollar corporations. . . . Go to any ranch in Montana that has been there for 100 years like this one, and you'll find one common thread--water quantity and quality. The mine and ash ponds are wreaking havoc with ranching operations. It wouldn't be this way if the state and federal government enforced existing laws."
But enforcement rarely happens. For example, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality has the authority to force PPL to clean up its ash ponds and to fine it $10,000 for every day it contaminates ground and surface water. It has done neither. And ranchers are suing the department for allowing Western Energy to dewater and poison their springs and wells.One of the litigants, Doug McRae (Clint's cousin), reports that six of his cattle died when they drank from a spring polluted by mine runoff.
This hasn't stopped Montana's governor, Brian Schweitzer, from busily promoting the Asian coal market, and from preparing to sell the coal under its remote, wildlife-rich Otter Creek area. According to the National Wildlife Federation, the mining, transport, and burning of that coal will foul the planet with 2.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide. Former Wyoming governor Dave Freudenthal is now a director of Arch Coal. And the current Wyoming governor, Matt Mead, a strip-mining enthusiast, "recognizes" Asia's need for our coal.
But the main threat comes not from Montana or even Wyoming. It comes from the federal government, which owns the vast majority of the coal reserves in both states. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who proclaims that "the realities of climate change require us to change how we manage the land, water, fish, and wildlife," has begun selling mining rights to an estimated 3.7 billion tons of Powder River Basin coal.
Meanwhile, Bellingham officials and chamber-of-commerce types whoop it up for port expansion to facilitate coal export to Asia while simultaneously bragging about awards the city has received from the EPA and Natural Resources Defense Council for quitting fossil fuel. And they excoriate Bellingham's medical and environmental communities for voicing concerns about disruption from expanded coal-train traffic, increased global warming, massive coal dust pollution, and damage to fisheries.
Seattle Audubon director Shawn Cantrell says this: "It doesn't make sense on many levels--from climate change to extraction problems to transport problems. We don't want these mega-trains with the volumes they're talking about coming through our communities. This is a particularly bad product because there's so much coal dust that just coats everything. We're going to have a monumental fight because coal is still huge in parts of the country. Washington can lead the trend on the export issue."
Like the city, the state has committed to renewable energy, and it has legislated strict greenhouse-gas limits that include a forced shutdown of its single, though enormous, coal-fired power plant by 2025. In addition, the plant's owner, TransAlta, must contribute $55 million for economic development and investments in clean energy and energy efficiency.
But the boosters don't see a problem with exporting greenhouse gases that threaten the entire planet or exporting poisons that will damage human and non-human life not only in Asia but the United States, especially Washington--one of the closest downwind states. The hypocrisy is breathtaking, reminiscent of America's banning DDT domestically but clearing it for export--a statement to the world that we considered this carcinogen too dangerous for everyone save foreigners.
"If we don't make money poisoning Asians, other countries will," is the basic pitch. Summarizing in The Seattle Times, Ken Oplinger, president/CEO of the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and Chris Johnson, vice president of the Northwest Washington Central Labor Council, write: "Stopping the terminal will not stop China from using coal; the world has plenty. ... Frankly, what we should be concentrating on is taking care of our local environment." A similar moral case could be made for whacking a key witness because Bugs Moran had already put out the hit and someone else would have collected the fee anyway.
Actually, providing China with the world's cheapest coal will merely ensure a long-term commitment to it while removing incentives to improve plant efficiency and seek alternate fuels, all of which are cleaner. There is nothing "startling" about this, notes natural resources watchdog and former University of Montana economics professor Thomas Power. "Lower prices and costs encourage consumption. Higher prices and costs discourage consumption."
When all is said, however, there's some cause for optimism. Public outrage in Montana, Wyoming, Washington, and Ore-gon is mounting to the point that at least one expert is betting against major export of Powder River Basin coal. "Most folks see it as a lose-lose proposition for the environment and local economies," remarks Nancy Hirsh, policy director for the Northwest Energy Coalition, an alliance of environmental groups, civic and human-services organizations, and businesses, including utilities. "I don't think there will be a lot of success because of the public outcry. Oregon and Washington have commitments to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. And yet here we're going to grant permits for coal exports and transport our problem across the ocean? It just doesn't ring true to public-policy makers."
While Hirsh hardly articulates the majority opinion, other encouraging news cannot be debated. The few U.S. coal plants on the drawing board face daunting requirements. For example, while Southwestern Electric Power Company still plans to build its Turk plant in Arkansas (See "Smoke on the Water," January-February 2008), a legal settlement forced by Audubon and the Sierra Club in December 2011 requires the company to retire its dirty Welsh 2 plant in Texas, create 400 megawatts of wind or solar power, contribute $10 million for land conservation and energy efficiency, and limit additional plants and transmission lines.
Across the nation students, some wearing "Kick-Ash" skivvies, are demonstrating against on-campus coal plants. At Michigan State University, students staged a sit-in to protest health hazards posed to themselves and East Lansing residents by the school's coal-fired power plant. Twenty colleges and universities have promised to quit coal by signing on to the Sierra Club's Campuses Beyond Coal initiative.
Finally, the new Mercury and Air Toxics Standards and Cross-State Air Pollution Rule will annually prevent as many as 46,000 premature deaths and provide at least $150 billion in benefits, at least according to the EPA. And the agency recently announced carbon-dioxide limits for new power plants and major upgrades.
While we cannot wean ourselves from coal anytime soon, we're phasing it out. Despite the "clean-coal" media blitz, Americans, from liberal environmentalists to conservative ranchers, now recognize it as a filthy, 19th-century fuel source whose days are clearly numbered.
What You Can Do

I just made this today after finding this recipe on Pinterest, and I loved it. I usually buy a big head of cauliflower every couple weeks, but most of the time it goes bad by the time I remember that it's in our fridge! With this recipe, I won't have a problem using a whole head of cauliflower every week!
Instead of putting parmesan on all of it, I did half with nutritional yeast seasoning because there are two vegans in my family, but I really think I liked it better with the nutritional yeast myself! Very cheesy flavored and delicious.

I posted ages ago in a thread about eating your own cum. Id never actually tried it, even though the idea has always appealed.
I'm going for a shower soon and feel horny enough to try. (its a place I can get messy with my load and not worry about clean up!)
Thoughts on the idea?

ATLANTA (AP) - Suspicious white powder found Thursday at Georgia's Capitol does not appear to be toxic, authorities said.
An envelope containing the powder arrived at a state Capitol office that processes mail from constituents to state officials. It was not immediately clear Thursday to whom the envelope was addressed.
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will reduce its circulation area to 27 counties around metro Atlanta and cut 156 jobs in its third cost-cutting move since early 2007.
The newspaper said Wednesday that effective Jan. 11 it will eliminate distribution in 22 counties: Banks, Butts, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Greene, Habersham, Haralson, Heard, Jackson, Lumpkin, Morgan, Pickens, Rabun, Spalding, Towns, Troup, Union, and White in Georgia, and Cherokee, Clay and Macon in North Carolina.
ATLANTA - Nearly a decade after Georgia passed a law requiring school systems to get state approval of security plans, nearly 20 percent of the state's districts haven't complied.
The list of schools that have not complied with the law does not include Liberty and Long counties'. The closest schools not in compliance are McIntosh County's.
JACKSON, Miss. -- Fickle December weather prepared to deliver the second blow of a one-two punch to much of the deep South on Wednesday, threatening to blanket some areas with snow after a night of unseasonably warm temperatures produced torrential rains and tornadoes across the region.
Sleet was possible in areas of Louisiana and the National Weather Service issued a winter weather watch for parts of Mississippi, warning that a rare snowfall accumulation was possible.
ATLANTA - The risk that Georgia could execute an innocent man should compel the state to hear his claims of innocence, Troy Davis' lawyers told a federal panel on Tuesday.
Attorneys in the case argued for about an hour before a three-judge panel at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, wrangling over whether Davis' lawyers had used the proper protocol in exhausting his options for a new hearing and whether evidence uncovered after his conviction warranted a fresh look at the case.
TIFTON -- A sentencing hearing for one of the people charged in the 2005 killings of six Mexican immigrants in brutal attacks in and around Tifton began Monday and is expected to last at least a week.
Jamie Underwood pleaded guilty in September to all four indictments against him. Tift County Superior Court Judge Gary McCorvey sentenced him at the time to 120 years in prison on three of the four indictments. The sentencing on the fourth indictment, which includes murder charges, is being held separately because the prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
ATHENS -- Georgia legislative leaders have voted to put off a 2.5 percent cost of living increase for state lawmakers.
ATLANTA -- Georgia economic forecasters offered another dose of bad news Wednesday, predicting that the recession will last a year-and-a-half - the state's longest economic slump since the Great Depression - and won't start to turn around until late next year.
Robert Sumichrast, who heads the University of Georgia's business school, also predicted unemployment will spike, housing prices will continue to plummet and the economy will be "dreadful" through the first half of next year.
ATLANTA -- The U.S. Senate race may have grabbed much of the headlines, but voters also quietly decided heated contests to fill open seats on the Court of Appeals and the Public Service Commission.
With 46 percent of precincts reporting, Republican Lauren "Bubba" McDonald had 59 percent of the vote to Democrat Jim Powell's 41 percent of the vote in the contest to fill the open seat on the Public Service Commission.
ATLANTA -- Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss jumped out to an early lead Tuesday over Democrat Jim Martin in Georgia's U.S. Senate runoff that attracted light voter turnout despite the contest's high stakes on the balance of power in Washington.
With 16 percent of precincts reporting, Chambliss had 65 percent of the vote to Martin's 35 percent. The early returns came mostly from rural counties where Republicans traditionally wield significant sway in a still-overwhelmingly red state. None of the urban Democratic strongholds had yet reported results an hour after the polls closed.
ATLANTA -- Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss handed the GOP a firewall against Democrats eager to flex their newfound political muscle in Washington, winning a bruising runoff battle Tuesday night that had captured the national limelight.
Chambliss' victory thwarted Democrats' hopes of winning a 60 seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. It came after a bitter month long runoff against Democrat Jim Martin that drew political luminaries from both parties to the state and flooded the airwaves with fresh attack ads weeks after campaigns elsewhere had ended.
ATLANTA -- Republican Lauren "Bubba" McDonald reclaimed a seat on the Public Service Commission Tuesday by fending off a spirited challenge from Jim Powell, striking a blow to Democrats seeking a foothold on the five-member panel.
It was a second helping of bad news for Democrats searching for a key statewide victory on a day when Democrat Jim Martin's effort to unseat Republican U.S. Saxby Chambliss fell short. The party had thrown its support behind the "two Jims," parading the candidates across the state.
ATLANTA -- Georgia colleges are bracing themselves for even steeper cuts.
The state Board of Regents will meet in a specially called session Wednesday to vote on slashing college budgets, increasing health care costs to employees and hiking student fees.
ATLANTA -- Polling precincts around Georgia reported light turnout and few problems as thousands of Georgia voters cast their ballots Tuesday to decide the contest between U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin.
For some beleaguered voters, it was their fourth trip to the polls to vote for the Senate seat in this grueling race that has attracted a seemingly endless list of political heavyweights, gobs of advertising and hoards of volunteers from both camps.
The National Weather service is predicting a possible freeze for our area tonight. Here's the forecast:
Last February, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot declared the Super Bowl the "single largest human trafficking incident in the U.S."
The European Bank's announcement that it will purchase billions of dollars worth of bonds from other banks has clear implications for Europeans, but what does it mean for the average American family and consumer?

1984 is one scary, scary book. Just think of what our lives would be like had Orwell's imaginings of the future come true. We'd all be massive TV addicts living in a state of heightened government security, devoted to machines. Phew, I'm glad those ideas didn't pan out…
Actually, there may be nothing more chilling in the fictional world or our own than the Newspeak lexicon. Just seeing the word "gooder" on paper frightens me more than a massive cage of rats. Thank Big Brother we all use perfect grammar nowadays. lolz.
Read on for our eNotes exclusive infographic to help you visualize this infamous dystopian novel, Newspeak and all (shivers).

My lips, but better…
YSL lipsticks in general are the definition of luxury lippies – I challenge any beauty-loving girl to not feel a little bit curious when you spy another girl with one of these gorgeous golden tubes of lip-gorgeousness. I have two other Rouge Volupte lip products that reside firmly in my favourites box and this one is the latest addition – for me, it's the ultimate my lips but better shade.
One of 19 new shades, grouped across a range of colour families… beige, coral, red, pink, and purple – this shade, Nude in Private falls into the Coral family, which I love because it is a nude, but with just the right amount of peach to make it really flattering. The texture is amazing for these – really light and quite sheer, but easily buildable. Best thing though, has to be how moisturising they are – my lips are really dry and a bit chapped at the moment. But with this, that doesn't show, amazing.
This is thanks to the combination of lip care goodness that is in the lipstick – hyaluronic acid microspheres (hyaluronic acid is basically my skincare weakness), antioxidant shield thanks to Pomegranate and rice, Emollients to offer protection and comfort by keeping lips super smooth. All together, shiny, smooth, sheer, moisturising colour.
The sheer shades also mean it's a good way to try brighter/scarier colours in a way that's not as daunting as a slick of opaque/pigmented colour. You can build up as you get more used to the shade.
Available from Debenhams (£24.50)

The packaging of these is so lovely and I do like the your lips but better look, but considering that I don't think I was pay the price tag for such subtle pigmentation.Even though that is the point of these lipsticks. x

This colour looks really nice. I have a nude and coral rouge volupte but this one looks a lot more wearable than mine.

Lovely colour! I have the shade 12 and I use it on my cheeks too, looks so well-put together, when there is the same shade on the lips and cheeks.

So I've been looking for a new full-squish bike for some time now. I've been doing the research, etc. and talking about it non-stop to my wife. Finally, this past weekend, she got sick of me talking about it and said to "go get a damn bike." She and I agreed on a limit of $3K
I rode the Yeti SB-66 and thought it was awesome. Lots of fun on the descents but also a pretty solid climber. It was listed for 3300 and I figured that I could stretch my budget a tad. Of course, this weekend also marks the point when Yeti decided to update their bike kits and prices. Now, it is listed at 3700 and too much of a stretch past my limit. If I placed my order only two weeks ago...
So, what should I look at instead in the $3K neighborhood? I'm looking for a "do-it-all" bike. Great climber, great descender. I'm definitely someone who does the climbing so I can enjoy the descents. I also want to be able to keep up with my XC buddies well enough so that they'll keep riding with me. I haven't been overly excited about 29ers but I also haven't ridden enough of them to rule them out completely. I can be convinced by a solid test ride.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your input.

Why do people do the things that they do?
milwaukee brewers June 29th, 2010
I had this friend once, we've all had this friend once or twice, that broke up with his girlfriend and it was an ugly breakup. People were put in the middle of things that they wanted no part of, friendships were lost and the whole thing was wholly un-enjoyable for everyone. After things started to blow over he started to call her at bar time, you know what for. This was a terrible decision. Sure, the reason he called her would work out in his favor, but it was the morning and the days after that would be the problem. The same old drama would bring itself back up and they'd have to have a talk. Nobody likes to have talks. I once saw a man jump out of a five story building to avoid having a talk. Still, a week later the same thing would happen all over again. Why?
Prince Fielder likes to swing at high fastballs. He does this a lot. He does this a lot with two strikes on him when you and me and everyone we know know it's coming. Hey Prince, don't swing at this pitch because it's going to be a high fastball and you can't catch up to it! And then he strikes out. This happens all the time. There is no way that the other team doesn't know that he likes to swing at high fastballs because everyone knows he likes to swing at high fastballs and they continue to be thrown at him in these types of situations. Most of the time, he strikes out. Why?
I am a regular attendant of what people like to call "after bars". The period between whenever I arrived at the bar (anywhere from 1PM to 12AM) until the time they close is just not enough for me sometimes and I need to go somewhere that I can drink more. I don't really care where it is; my place, a backyard, a hotel room, a friend of mine who still lives with his parents' basement or anywhere else. Hell, I don't care WHAT it is. I once had an after bar with a bottle of Apple Pucker. I just like to continue drinking with people long after the bar is closed. No matter what I have to do in the morning, I do this. I know it's not smart or necessary, I just do it. Why?
Manny Parra has a problem with pitch counts. It takes him a lot of pitches to get through innings. In his seven starts this season he has never made it past the sixth inning and in every game that he has made it through at least 5 he has thrown over 90 pitches. This isn't efficient. For Manny Parra to give himself and the team the best chance at winning he needs to go deeper into games, but he doesn't. Why? Read the rest of this entry »

Crushed Violet Ceramic Lotus Stool
Love the color!
Have been searching for dark, rich colors in garden stools for quite some time now. This is the only place I've found them. Bought 2 of the plum off the website. The color wasn't as shown on my computer but I was able to use them in another space in my home than was originally planned. Also bought 2 of the teal ones. They were purchased at separate store locations. One was damaged with scratches but it was all I could find left in stock in my area. Couldn't order an undamaged one as they weren't available online.
Aside from the scratches on one of the teal stools (which I knew about when I purchased), I absolutely LOVE the stools. They're perfect in color, size, price and shape.
