The Daily Troll: New state senator. Giving Tuesday. Ramping up Border Patrol in Friday Harbor?
Call him Senator John McCoy
The Snohomish County Council has picked longtime state Rep. John McCoy to be the state senator representing Everett, Tulalip and part of Marysville. It was a unanimous vote for the smart, well-liked McCoy, who had the most support among Democratic precinct committee officers in balloting against capable state Rep. Mike Sells and former legislative aide Kelly Wright, according to The Herald. McCoy will fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of former Sen. Nick Harper. Snohomish County Council Chair Stephanie Wright said McCoy will be "a strong and effective advocate" for the county. He was the general manager of the Tulalip Tribes' highly successful Quil Ceda Village retail and hotel development through its early years, winning the Puget Sound Business Journal's Executive of the Year award in 2006.
Giving Tuesday
The most famed of Medina' s many philanthropists, Bill and Melinda Gates are lending their support to next week's Giving Tuesday, described by supporters as "a new day for giving back" and donating to charities. Tech Flash notes that the Gates' own giving plans include Federal Way's World Vision, DonorsChoose.org, Heifer International and Save The Children. There's something reassuring about knowing that their donations are going to places that a lot of other people find worthy. (Their letter and links to those groups are here.)
New Customs for Friday Harbor?
San Juan Island residents are organizing to block the planned move of a federal Customs and Border Patrol office to the heart of tourist-beloved Friday Harbor. According to the San Juan Journal, the biggest concern is "a potential hardening of Friday Harbor's coveted small town charm." The patrol already has an office, but it's much smaller and in the port itself. A moveon.org petition against the move has gathered more than 300 signatures. If the protesters don't succeed, maybe a new Friday Harbor motto is in order: "Show us your papers. Then enjoy our Island Friendly Spirit."
Dively says no to City Hall return
King County budget chief Dwight Dively has apparently turned down a chance to return to Seattle City Hall, where he had once been in charge of budget matters, Publicola reports. Mayor-elect Ed Murray apparently offered Dively, one of the co-chairs of his transition team, the deputy mayor job. Murray campaigned, in part, on promises he would bring the best talent to the administration. We may hear soon if he has a Plan B for what could have been a very good catch.
Arrest in the Burke Gilman murder case
Seattle police say they have arrested a 32-year-old Renton man in connection with the death of 26-year-old Jowanna Gooden of Renton, whose body was found, dead from a gunshot wound to the head, along the Burke Gilman trail in early October. Police gave few details but said detectives and officers from several departmental units had worked with the homicide with help from community members. Homicide Commander Mike Kebba called it a "challenging" case.

Sen. McCoy will be a great rep for the Tribes, not so much for Snoco, which he doesn't really give a rip about, unless they are shoveling more money to the tribes.
And the Federales at Friday Harbor? Lordy! Those jackbooted thugs love their 100 miles from the border thingy. I came back from FH on the "international" sailing, and was put "up against the wall....MF" as we used to say in the 60's on the way back.
Faux check in Anacortes even though I never left the states. I was within two miles of Canada (standing at sis's kitchen window) but that was it. At Anacortes, a "papers" check, but no look in the car, which is what they should have been doing. No computer terminal, just look at the license, and go.
What a show, and nothing else. No probable cause, just being "near" the border is enough to get this outrageous treatment. Feeling safer? Not me.
DHS and C&I; are just abusers of good honest Americans, because they can be
The Geezer has spaketh.

DHS, otherwise known as the DBT (Department of Bureaucratic Terrorism) is the most bone useless Department ever. TSA (Thousands Standing Around) spends $8 BILLION/Year harrassing 700 million airline passengers/year and has caught not one single terrorist. People with pocket knives, dummies with guns, and thousands with oversized toothpaste tubes. Terrorist? Nah. We are being overrun by an army of 8th grade dropouts with drill sergeant mentality.

Sony might have stolen some of the GDC thunder yesterday, but Microsoft still has a pretty damn impressive line-up on display at it's San Francisco base-camp.
All of the big Q1 Xbox 360 and XBLA titles are in attendance in MS's plush hotel home, accompanied by senior development staff such as Bioware co-founders (and co-doctors) Dr. Raymond Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk, Peter Molyneux and legendary Final Fantasy and Blue Dragon creator Hironobu Sakaguchi.
The presence of the gaming luminaries bolstered Microsoft's main announcements earlier this week, that the size limit of Xbox Live Arcade titles is being increased to 150MB, and a increased 512MB memory unit will arrive in the shops shortly.
On the Xbox 360 front Microsoft is showcasing cross-platform shooter Shadowrun (read our impressions here), the ever-stunning Mass Effect, the English version of Sakaguchi's Blue Dragon, Forza Motorsport 2 and Molyneux's mysterious Fable sequel. Oh, and there's some PC game called "Halo 2" as well.
Xbox Live Arcade also has a surprisingly large presence here, considering that Microsoft usually likes to keep its download titles under wraps until the week they appear on the Xbox Live servers. So far we've managed to get our hands on Rare's revamped Jetpac Refueled (hands-on here), Bizarre 'Geometry Wars' Creations' excellent Boom Boom Rocket along with Pinball FX and others.
As for what impressed us, Bioware's stupidly-gorgeous RPG Mass Effect easily came out on top. We were able to sit down and watch the first hour of the game and for 60 minutes at least it delivers with stunning cut-scenes, loud laser shoot-outs and some of those "complex moral choices" that we were promised but admittedly, didn't expect. "Jack Bauer in space" indeed.
Fable 2's "unexpected" secret also grabbed our attention; It's going to be a controversial one, but we reckon the trick up Molyneux's sleeve is ultimately going to win over a lot of love-starved gamers, and we're eager to get our hands-on and see just how well it works. Look for more on that later.
Perhaps rather fittingly, we wrap-up this little round-up to go and chat with Microsoft big bosses Chris Satchell and Shane Kim, to see what they're going to be up to in the next few months and indeed - what they think of Sony's new toys. Keep your eyes on CVG to see exactly what the MS two have to say, later tonight.

The polls seem to swinging back to Obama which can only mean that skewing is back from vacation.

Exactly. Funny how the discussion of Unskewed Polls disappeared while Romney enjoyed a brief surge. As soon as the first debate settled into the numbers, Drudge and others couldn't wait to post the latest Gallup or PPP results in bold 30pt text.
If the president wins this thing, there are going to be a lot of pissed of Republicans — especially because they had a brief taste of victory.

please help....i had a healthy dwarf ornico in a pot in the house, that was about 5' tall. it was devasted recently., not by pests but my 3 year old son. he cut all the leaves and part of the top off. what can i do to make it come back?
do i store it away for winter the way it is and hope it comes back, or can i do something now to save it. do i cut it all they back? i also have it under a grow light so it gets plenty of light thanks

Yes. If it is indoors, warm and has good light (gro light, for instance) keep it watered and fertilized, and it will be fine. Or store it as is, and it will come back in the Spring. There is no need to trim any further, except for dead material (brown or yellow) or rotting spots (black, squishy). |
Remember, bananas grow from the underground corm. You can keep it warm and it will just start making new leaves. Your original pseudostem may or may not survive, but the corm would most likely produce a new pup to replace it. Or you could store it dormant: cool and dry. seahorse |
thanks for the help....im new to this, but loving them! i cut the top off clean, and noticed its trying to send up new growth. will this be a new leaf?? thanks |
- Posted by gardenguy_ z6b PA (My Page) on Sat, Nov 11, 06 at 1:04
Yes, it's a new leaf. I myself do purposely cut off the leaves on my bananas during the winter to store them under the house. You can cut a banana any way you want, but rest assured the plant will grow back just fine. The most important part of a banana is the corm, which is a bulb like structure at the base of the plant in the ground from which the banana grows from and also, the roots grow from. |

This blush is gorgeous!
For reference I have fair neutral skin tone, Auburn hair and blue eyes.
This blush gives a beautiful, lit from within, glow to the cheeks with a wash of golden color. It is not a bronzer or anything brown/muddy looking if your worried about that. Others have described the color better so I digress on that.
It's very buildable and I can't see it easily going anywhere near clown face with this. No fear.
Yes, NARS blushes are expensive, but they last forever! I've been wearing Orgasm since it first came out and am not even close to hitting pan. Definitely worth the money. They go on perfect, pigmented, not powdery or cheap at all.

<3<3<3 this blush. In the pan it looks nothing special, rather lack Luster (pun intended). Somewhere in between dabbing the product in the pan and complete blending, it transforms itself into the most gorgeous soft golden-apricot colour that gives me a beautiful pop of colour to my fair skin. It surprised me the most, wasn't expecting it to be as beautiful as it is. This is kind of like the underdog of all my blushes for me, the one you least expect to like or win you over, but it has even more so than Orgasm. This is a classic case of 'don't judge by first appearances, they can be deceptive'. Should I ever hit pan, I most definitely will repurchase.

Luster is just absolutely my favorite everyday blush color. For the record, I am somewhere in between NC10 and NC15, so quite pale. Luster looks really sort of boring in the pan, but on your cheeks it just transforms into the perfect natural looking peachy pink with a nice shimmer that doesn't look artificial or sparkly. This is especially nice because it almost works as a subtle highlight as well. The only downfall is the usual with NARS (packaging) but also per usual with NARS, it's worth it for the product.

FAVOURITE BLUSH OF ALL TIME. I own six other nars blushes. Luster is my favourite, however does not go with every makeup look. So I would recommend this one and pink based blush like deep throat or orgasm as well. I barely use the others and I definitely haven't touched my eight mac blushes since purchasing nars blush. What a waste.

I am a peach blush addict and I am so happy to have this in my collection after nearly a year of lusting (no pun intended!) after it. This is a gorgeous warm apricot with gold shimmer; it's absolutely stunning. Really brightens my face and you don't need to add an highlighter with this because it is so luminous on its own. Smooth texture, easy to blend, fabulous pigmentation, and lasts alllllll day.

I wavered on buying Luster for years because whenever I looked at it in the pan, I didn't think there was any way it would work for me - it's a warm, almost terracotta shade that I thought for sure would be too much for my pasty (NC15-20) skin. But I'm glad I took a chance and tried it, since on my cheeks it turns into a beautiful glowing peach with gold shimmer. It's a tad more orange than other peach shades I own (Chanel Reflex, NARS Deep Throat) but it's definitely not too orange, and it's pigmented enough to show up on most skin tones. I like wearing it with a simple wash of gold eye shadow and peachy-orange gloss.

For reference I'm a nc45. I use luster as a highlighter along my cheekbones when I'm using my matte bronzer. I use a very light hand and apply it using Bobbi Brown's sheer brush. If I get too heavy-handed it will emphasize my pores and that's not cool at all. I then blend out using my stippling brush. Viola....I have a glow without looking like a a cheap disco ball.

I bought this about a month ago and have rarely touched another blush since. The shimmer is not overly done but still shows. I have very fair skin and it is a great peachy pink, leaning much more on the peach side. The formula is perfect, not flaky or chalky at all.

This is my HG, go-to blush! I absolutely love the color of it - I use it every single day, but it's especially great in the summer when I'm a little bit more tan. This will definitely give you a fabulous glow to your cheeks, and it's a great investment! The packaging is also really nice, it's very compact and small but gives a lot of product. LOVE this!

Police are investigating a burglary in Jaywick
Matthew Symington
Thursday, January 23, 2014
Police are appealing for witnesses following an attempted robbery in Honeysuckle Way, Witham.
The victim, a 22-year-old man, was getting out of a car when he was approached by a group of five men who demanded money.
He believes one of the men was in possession of a gun.
At this point, the suspects were disturbed by a neighbour opening their front door and fled. Nothing was stolen.
The incident happened at about 11.10pm on Friday, January 10.
The men were white and were wearing ski masks. One of the men had ginger hair and freckles on his face.
Investigating officer, Dc Andrew Young, said: "This would clearly have been an extremely frightening ordeal for this man, and I would really urge anyone with information to come forward. I need to speak to anyone who either witnessed what happened or saw these men fleeing the scene."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Dc Andrew Young, or his colleagues at Braintree, on 101. Alternatively, call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

September 16, 2013 Volume 4, Issue 1
October is designated as Respect Life Month by the Church. We belong to a tradition that believes ALL people have dignity and the right to life no matter what they might have done. This has been reiterated by past popes and our current Pope Francis.
"How I wish that all men and women of good will would look to the cross, if only for a moment. There, we can see God's reply: violence is not answered with violence, death is not answered with the language of death." - Pope Francis, Sept 7, 2013
Please take time this October to further your education on life issues, particularly on those you may find challenging, as the death penalty is for many Catholics. Feel free to join CMN and the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies in Washington, D.C., on November 9th for a conference on "Where Justice and Mercy Meet: Catholic Opposition to the Death Penalty." It is an opportunity to hear professors and authors of the book by the same name from Mount St. Mary's University as well as scholars from The Catholic University of America educate us on the Church's progression of moral thought and teaching on the death penalty through a restorative lens. Details below. In this September 2013 newsletter you will find:
Thank you for supporting our work and have a blessed month.
Sincerely, Karen Clifton Executive Director
The Catholic Mobilizing Network to End the Use of the Death Penalty and the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. are co-sponsoring a national conference entitled "Where Justice and Mercy Meet: Catholic Opposition to the Death Penalty." Everyone is welcome!
CMN is excited to promote the latest in the progression of the Church's teaching on the pro-life issue of the death penalty. Pope John Paul II made it absolutely clear that we as Catholics are called to preserve life and to act to end the use of the death penalty. Pope Benedict XVI expanded on this, urging us to engage on the issue in our efforts to impact public policy. At the World Congress Against the Death Penalty held in Madrid in June, Pope Francis reiterated the Holy See's support for "the abolition of the death penalty." CMN was founded to educate Catholics on the Church's teaching on the death penalty and restorative justice and to prepare Catholics for informed involvement in campaigns to pass death penalty reform and repeal legislation. CMN's Mount St. Mary's University office, staffed by Vicki Schieber, worked in collaboration with the faculty on the just-published book, "Where Justice and Mercy Meet: Catholic Opposition to the Death Penalty." Our conference on November 9th will feature panel discussions with Mount Saint Mary's University and Catholic University professors and authors discussing their work and how Catholic teaching has evolved on the issue. We will discuss where we stand today, and how Catholics are leading in the winning campaign to end the death penalty in the United States through public policy advocacy. Among the presenters will be CMN's Vicki Schieber, and a keynote address by our founder and noted Catholic anti-death penalty advocate Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ. All are welcome to attend this event, which will be hosted at the Columbus School of Law on the Catholic University campus. Additional supporters for the event include the Sant'Egidio Community of Washington, D.C. and the Franciscan Action Network. To register for this FREE event, complete the online registration form provided by IPR. To help spread the word, please download and share this flyer about the event. You may also purchase the book of the same name here.
Are you a church leader who will be participating in the observation of Respect Life Month in October? Or are you an engaged church member who wants to respond to the Church's call to renew your personal commitment to defend all human life? Our resources can help you prepare for engaging as a parish community in discussions and celebrations on the sanctity of all life:
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Ohioans to Stop Executions. It has been a pivotal year in terms of building momentum toward ending the death penalty in Ohio. The state Supreme Court Joint Task Force currently examining the death penalty will complete its work by the end of this year and make some critical recommendations to the legislature, such as limiting crimes eligible for the death penalty and the creation of a Racial Justice Act. These efforts come as new and significant voices have challenged the status quo of the death penalty in the state.

Bob Stoughton has been a leader of the Miami Valley chapter of OTSE for the last seven years and has been working closely with the CMN team for the last two. As a practicing Catholic and a member of the national Marianist Social Justice Collaborative Anti-Death Penalty Issue Team, Bob has been able to bring important resources to the Dayton area to support the work of his Miami Valley chapter of OTSE, including a panel discussion with an exoneree from Ohio's Death Row and a workshop from CMN's Executive Director Karen Clifton.

Our major sponsor, the Congregation of St. Joseph Ministries, has challenged CMN to become more self-sustaining so that we can provide even more effective resources and leadership to Catholics working to respect life by ending the death penalty.
We've set a goal: $50,000 & 100 Sustaining Members by December 31st!
To help CMN build a base of individual and parish level support, the Congregation of St Joseph Ministries has offered us a matching challenge grant of $50,000. In order to receive this money, we must raise $50,000 from individuals and allies by the end of December in order to put that full $100,000 to use in 2014.
As part of this effort, we want to build a sustaining network of more than 100 monthly donors who each give at least $5 every month. We have exactly one monthly donor today - a friend who last month signed up to give $35 every month! Here's what Deacon Rob Ward wrote when he told us why he decided to make CMN a part of his tithe every month:
"I'm simply someone who recognizes the dignity of all human beings no matter who they are or what they have done. The death penalty is a definite "life" issue that many pro-life persons do not consider. Our faith teaches us that restorative justice is what we should all strive for. It brings us back into proper relation with each other. I contribute to the Catholic Mobilizing Network to help inform people about the injustice of the death penalty and to do what we as Catholics are called to do: Engage in the effort to change public policy so that all life is respected."
The campaign has already taken off! As of this morning, we've raised nearly 2% of our goal from individuals who have given anywhere from $5 to $300. That may not seem like a lot, but it's only a prelude to today, when we officially launch this campaign.
Please read more and consider the different ways you can contribute to this important effort.

The Foo Fighters and Fogerty
I love the Foo Fighters and have all of their releases. All of their songs are great blasting on the radio in the car. I sometimes crave the energy I hear and feel when listening to them. I do have one Foreigner CD-their Greatest Hits-and I'm covered in case anyone asks if I have any Foreigner. I have lots of John Fogerty solo releases. Every time I bought one, I thought this will be the one that captures the CCR feel that I love. Although "Revival" has a couple of anti-war songs it doesn't quite have the sound I was hoping for. "Wrote A Song for Everyone" is terrific but it's a mostly a collection of reworked CCR songs. Fogerty pairs up with some of his musician friends, including the Foo Fighters to re-record his staples. The old songs manage to sound fresh without stepping out of the box.

daybreaking's review below is pretty much spot on the money. It's a very sweet scent. Almost too sweet for anyone over 25 I think (im 27 he he). I love sweet scents, and this is like sugared grapes, some would say it's a very "teeny" smell. Nice but not very sophisticated, but with great lasting power for a Cologne (and much better staying power than Wild Roseberries which I also have.)
This, like several other Coty scents I've tried, starts out with whatever that overly-strong twinge is that belts out 'drugstore fragrance aimed at young teens'. At first, it smells like something that I'd expect to come in a bright purple bottle with a Barbie on the label - roses, grape juice, lavendar and sugar.
Wild Plumeria instead comes in a clear, beveled glass cylinder with a plastic cap, (the same bottle as several other Coty sprays, with different cap colors), with a pale purple liquid inside. Without the cap, however, it blends in well on the vanity. Also, when empty, you can use pliers to twist off the spray nozzle and then recycle the bottle as a bud vase or incense holder.
After about fifteen minutes, it dries down to a warm-sweet plum and violet scent, more reminiscent of what I imagine a plum herbal tea or potpourri sachet would smell like. I also found it be surprisingly long-lasting, and can still smell it on my wrist after more than six hours. I'd recommend applying it sparingly the first time, as in my experience it's stronger and is more tenacious than the price and brand would have you believe.
It's not a scent that I usually associate with perfume, but it's neither unpleasant, nor offensive. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for something to give a younger teen, or looking for something for office or afternoon wear that is different but not flirty. It's more floral posy than high-heels.

I love this and all of the "Wild" line by Coty. Great, cheap, although fleeting scent. I use these for around the house and before bed. I'll always keep them in the bath for a quick spritz.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I spent a long day outdoors today and I felt yucky having to sit in my car to drove home for an hour and a half. I had this impulse buy in my car from my gym bag. Spritzed this on and felt fresher, so I will keep this cheapie in my car to perk me up on a hot summer day. I detect powdery vanilla, and flowers.
I wouldn't buy this again just because I much prefer the Wild Roseberry and Orange Blossom. But this is a pretty femijnine slightly unusual floral scent.
After looking for Wild Orange Blossom and finding it sold out everywhere I went, I tried the Plumeria and I love it. It settles into a really pretty soft scent. It's got plumeria,freesia,and ylang ylang (what is ylang ylang anyway?). Anyway its smells nicer then I thought it would.

Vincent Tan to re-list 7-eleven and MOL
Filed Under (Business News) by Webmaster on 26-02-2012
Tagged Under : 7-eleven Malaysia Bhd, MOL Global Bhd, re-list, Vincent Tan
Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan will relist 7-Eleven Malaysia Bhd and its MOL Internet business next year to raise more than RM600 million combined.
Tan said he may relist MOL Global Bhd in Malaysia or Singapore, or go for a dual listing as its business is internationally focused.
MOL, which is said to have about one per cent stake in Facebook Inc, the world's largest social networking service company, operates in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, India.
It is also making inroads into Turkey, Brazil and Vietnam.
"MOL is fairly profitable and has good growth currently. As for 7-Eleven, the company will be listed on its own, unlike previously," Tan said at an event on Saturday.
7-El e ven, the pioneer and largest 24-hour convenience store operator in Malaysia, is a unit of Berjaya Retail Bhd, which was listed on Bursa Malaysia in 2010.
Berjaya Retail was delisted from the local bourse in May 2011
after an unconditional takeover offer by Premier Merchandise
Sdn Bhd, a company related to Tan.
The relistings of 7- Eleven and MOL are part of the billionaire's
pledge to donate half of his wealth to charity during his life time, and also to reduce group borrowings, Tan said.
Forbes Magazine estimates Tan's net worth at around US$1.2 billion (RM3.6 billion). Tan's wealth could increase this year, thanks to the initial public offering of Facebook.
On Saturday, Tan pledged to transfer RM600 million worth of shares in two of his companies to the Better Malaysia Foundation, which he set up for charitable causes.
This would be done this year via RM400 million worth of shares in U-Mobile Telecommunication Bhd, which is expected to be listed on Bursa Malaysia in the third quarter of 2012, and RM200
million in the form of irredeemable convertible unsecured loans of Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp).
Tan said he plans to donate 10 per cent of 7-Eleven and MOL to the foundation, after the companies are relisted. 7-Eleven and MOL will each have a market capitalisation of over RM1 billion after relisting, Tan said

Site Description
[Back to Top]
The 2-3-acre Burgess Brothers Landfill Site is located on the Woodford and Bennington town line. The site is still owned by the Burgess family and borders the Green Mountain National Forest. Burgess Brothers Construction Company operated the facility as a sand pit, salvage yard, and landfill from the 1940s until the mid-1970s. Union Carbide Corp.'s Bennington Plant disposed of wastes from battery manufacturing at the site, an unknown quantity of lead sludge, and the equivalent of 47,780 drums of hazardous wastes. The wastes were dumped into and buried in unlined settling lagoons located on the landfill. Studies have determined that soils, groundwater, and surface water both on and downgradient of the site are contaminated with heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The area surrounding the site is largely rural and is sparsely populated, but 13,900 people live within 3 miles of the site. Residents use drinking water from private and public wells; the nearest well is located approximately 1 mile from the site. A spring that is used to supply drinking water to a portion of the town of Bennington is approximately 1
mile to the west of the site. Barney Brook and the Waloomsic River are located within 3 miles downgradient of the site; both are used for recreation. A freshwater wetland is located at the toe of the landfill.
Threats and Contaminants
[Back to Top]
Groundwater, surface water, and soils are contaminated with metals including iron and lead, and VOCs, including vinyl chloride and trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). Human heath risks are from potential future ingestion of groundwater. Ecological risks are from ingestion of surface water, leachate and sediments. The site is unrestricted; although it is located in a remote area. There are sensitive areas nearby, including freshwater wetlands and National Forest land, which are used for recreational purposes and could be impacted by site contamination.
Cleanup Approach
[Back to Top]
The site is being addressed in a long-term remedial phase focusing on cleanup of the entire site.
Response Action Status
[Back to Top]
Entire Site
Based on the findings of a remedial investigation, EPA selected the following remedy to clean up the site: multibarrier cap over the landfill area, soil cap over the marshy area, in-place air sparging of groundwater and soil vacuum extraction (SVE) of soil contaminated with VOCs in the former lagoon area (which involved installation of a number of shallow wells to withdraw air containing VOCs for carbon treatment), institutional controls, and long term monitoring. Deed restrictions are being used at the site to regulate land use and preserve the integrity of the remedy's components. A monitoring program for the cap, groundwater, soil, surface water, and sediments has been developed to ensure the long term effectiveness of the selected remedy.
All construction activities associated with implementing the remedy are complete and documented in a March 2000 preliminary close-out report (PCOR) by EPA. The PCOR documents that the cleanup remedy was constructed in accordance with the remedial design plans and specifications.
The site is currently in the operation and maintenance phase. The SVE system, which became operational in December 2000, is anticipated to continue for several years. Groundwater, surface water, and sediments will be monitored throughout the site for 30 years or until clean up standards are obtained.
The site will be inspected every five years to ensure that the cleanup remedy continues to be effective.
Long-Term Remedial Action
The soil vacuum extraction/air sparging system (SVE/AS) operated from December 2000 through 2002, at which time it was determined that the air sparging component was no longer contributing to the VOC mass removal and its operation was discontinued. Operation of the SVE component continued with some of the vapor extraction wells being operated continuously, some intermittently, and others remained shut down as influent VOC concentrations and removal rates declined. In January 2004 influent concentrations stabilized at approximately 225 ppm, indicating the presence of an ongoing VOC source.
Operation of the SVE system was suspended in February 2005 and remained shut down for the rest of 2005 and all of 2006. At the direction of EPA, operation of the SVE system resumed in August 2007. Breakthrough of VOCs in the next-to-last carbon vessel occurred in October 2007. Following change-out of the spent carbon, the system was restarted in June 2008. Operation of the SVE system has continued since then, primarily with the two most downgradient extraction wells.
A reassessment of the remedy began in 2007 and it anticipated to be completed in early 2011.
2005 Five-Year Review
A five-year review was completed in March 2005. The review concluded that the remedy was functioning as intended by the Record of Decision and that it provided short-term protectiveness. However the review also noted that there were a number of concerns and limitations with the selected remedy such that the capability of the remedy to provide long-term protectiveness was uncertain. The review recommended the source and groundwater remedies be re-evaluated and modified if determined to be necessary to achieve the cleanup objectives.
2010 Five-Year Review
A second review was completed in 2010 and reaffirmed the findings of the 2005 review that the remedy needed to be reassessed for both source control and groundwater. It further noted that the core of the groundwater plume had moved farther downgradient from the landfill boundary while the overall plume configuration had not changed.
Enforcement Highlights
The potentially responsible parties signed an Administrative Order by Consent in 1991. EPA completed a Record on Decision (ROD) in September 1998. The potentially responsible parties signed a Consent Decree in 1999.
Environmental Progress
[Back to Top]
Capping of the landfill and implementing institutional controls have reduced the potential of direct exposure to contamination. It has further minimized the infiltration of rainwater through the landfill carrying contamination into the groundwater and surface waters.
Contamination in the groundwater has continued to migrate farther from the landfill and beyond the area of affected by the SVE system. As a result, EPA and Vermont ANR are reassessing the remedy in order to address this situation. EPA anticipates amending the Record of Decision in late 2011 to select a different cleanup approach.
Current Site Status
[Back to Top]
The landfill was listed in 1989. All construction is complete. The site is currently in the operation and maintenance phase.

Biantan : Cebu footie legend gives Global FC a try
-A A +ABy Jack Biantan
Big Jack
Friday, October 14, 2011
CAGAYAN DE ORO -- Cebu's football coaching legend Graeme Mackinnon gives Philippine coaching another try but this time at a higher level when he leads defending champion Global FC against Queen City United FC of Cebu in the United Football League.
The match is set Sunday, October 16, 1 p.m. at the Alabang Country Club Club A football field.
It will be an interesting match as Mackinnon will go up against the team of his best friend and former player with the great Cebu team M. Lhuillier, Mario Ceniza.
Ceniza has formed the Cebu Queen City United team in less than a month with the support of Cebu construction tycoon Ricky Dakay. The Cebuanos were supposed to play Pachanga FC last Sunday but the match was scrapped because of bad weather.
It will be a tough start for Mackinnon as he will try to give Global their first win after their surprise 2-3 loss to the Ernie Nierras coached Stallions FC in the UFL opener at the Rizal Memorial stadium last Oct. 8 . Mackinnon was not yet allowed by his doctors to fly to the Philippines from Sydney, Australia as he was still recuperating from a knee replacement surgery.
At 65 years old, I have known Graeme since the late 80's when he was still coaching the legendary M.Lhuillier football team of Cebu. He led the Jewelers to the PFF National Championships title in 1988 in Bacolod city with a very young team captained by Mario Ceniza.
Through the help of Cebu's sports patron Michel Lhuillier, Graeme established the M. Lhuillier Sports Development Foundation (MLSDF) to train young footballers in Cebu province in the 90's. The MSLDF also sponsored the Scoop Cebu Sports Awards. Graeme also wrote a football column for a Cebu daily newspaper The Freeman and coached Springdale, a powerhouse in Cebu's local youth tournaments.
Graeme actually made it to Cebu not because of football. He went to Cebu as a businessman buying furnitures for his father's furniture shop in Australia. Before his Cebu stint, Graeme was a promising semi-professional footballer in Australia until he injured his knee. He came to Manila to play for San Miguel Corp in 1980 under Juan Cutillas who now coaches the Kaya FC. After San Miguel folded up he went to Cebu and the rest is history.
Coaching Global will be the biggest challenge for Graeme as he has not coached at senior level for a long time now since he led the Exas team to the Cebu Amateur Football Club (CAFC) tournament title in 1998.However, he has kept himself busy coaching youth teams in Australia since he went back down under in early 2000's.
He did not take too long to accept Dan Palami's offer to coach Global. He has not signed any contract with Global and would stay with the team until they are happy with his performance. He accepts that it is a daunting task to be asked by Palami to get back into the hustle of coaching a senior team but he is excited to be involved in Philippine football again specially this time when football is gaining grounds in the Philippine sports scene.
Part of Graeme's problem when he coaches Global is that he is not yet very familiar with the players. Although he has watched the team playing the Stallions via live streaming, he accepts that it will take time to know his players.
He is also very excited to play the Queen City FC on Sunday. Aside from clashing tactics against his best friend Mario Ceniza, some players seeing action for QCFC were his players under the MLSDF and Springdale. They are Julius Acre, Junard Aguilar, Benedict Ariola, Martin Bontia, Jack Reston, and Josephat Sacil.
Graeme was set to arrive in Manila Thursday and held his first practice for Global. It will take time for him adjust to a higher level of competition like the UFL. He is a senior citizen but he is not the oldest UFL coach. Juan Cutillas of Kaya FC holds that record.
Graeme is ready to take the challenge. Palami gave him the job to coach Global because he knows he is not only a good coach but also a winner. I have known Graeme for almost 30 years. We have worked together for the Cebu sports media and Cebu football for a long time. He was even one of the four of my wedding sponsors from Cebu who showed up in my wedding here in Cagayan de Oro city in 1999.
Global under Mackinnon is in good hands. Trust me. GOD BLESS (email@example.com)

INDORE: The CBI special court of magistrate Shubhra Singh rejected the transfer of Shehla Masood murder case from Indore to Bhopal and committed the case on Friday and transferred it to session court of Indore District Judge. Now the trial will begin in the case and accused would be able apply for bail.
Next hearing will take place at Indore session court on July 2.
The court rejected all three applications filed by the accused in the case seeking transfer of the case to Bhopal. All five accused Zahida Parvez along with Saba Farooqui, Saqib Danger, Irfan and Tabish had applied for the transfer of case under section 177 Criminal Procedure Code (CrPc) to Bhopal.
The application was rejected by the court referring to a judgment by Madhya Pradesh High Court in which the HC had clearly mentioned that it is the jurisdiction of sessions court of the place where case was committed (in this case Indore) to decide whether the case will continue in his/her district or court or it would be transferred to other place and court.
Advocate Sunil Shrivastav, lawyer for the accused Zahida and Saba said that now they will argue before the sessions court for the transfer of case to Bhopal. Now the accused are eligible to apply for bail, but defense lawyer said that first they will argue for the transfer of the case and thereafter would seek for bail.
Another application under section 91 of CrPc for the submission of call details of BJP MLA Dhruv Narayan Singh and polygraph test report on him were also rejected. Court observed that the case has been committed on the basis of charge-sheet and now accused can seek additional documents only during the trial of the case.
The third application filed by accused Irfan for the re-recording of his statement under section 164 (3) was also rejected by the court observing that now charge-sheet has been filed and no re-recording of statement can be done at this point of time. If accused has to say anything then he cab present his argument before court during the trial.
Advocate Yawar Khan, lawyer of Irfan said, "All the applications have been rejected by the court and now they would present their argument before session court."
Meanwhile, accused Zahida Parvez, while being escorting out of the court once again alleged that Dhruv Narayan Singh is the main accused in the case and his wife had called up Shehla Masood hours before her murder. Zahida alleged that the investigating agency intentionally ignored some important clues linking the role of the BJP MLA in the case.

All writers engage with Shakespeare at some point in their careers, whether it be to adapt, imitate, criticize, defend, or admire him. Elizabeth Barrett Browning uses Hamlet to support her belief in the superiority of literary activity above all other activities, while George Sand's Hamlet essay is inspired by a performance of the title role by William Macready. Oscar Wilde criticizes Shakespeare for privileging life over art in his later plays, Algernon Charles Swinburne explicates each period of Shakespeare's development in a book-length study, Walt Whitman argues that Shakespeare's historical plays represent the seeds of modern democracy, and Washington Irving speculates on the influence of an ill-fated voyage to Virginia on The Tempest.
Mark Twain challenges Shakespeare's identity in his controversial work, Is Shakespeare Dead? His interest in the "Shakespeare question," first sparked by his reading of Delia Bacon's The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakspere Unfolded (Boston, 1857), was reignited in 1908 when he read The Shakespeare Problem Restated (London, 1908) by the British MP Sir George Greenwood. Twain was intrigued by Greenwood's argument that, while there is no evidence that Shakespeare the actor had any familiarity with the law, the author of the plays must have been a lawyer. In fact, Twain was so taken by Greenwood's theory that he lifted, word for word, Greenwood's chapter on "Shakespeare as a lawyer" directly into his own book Is Shakespeare Dead?, without citing Greenwood's name as his source.
Despite the fact that Twain included the title of Greenwood's book in a footnote on the first page of the chapter and set the chapter in smaller type, Greenwood's London publishers accused Twain of copyright violation and prevented Twain's book from being imported to England until the attribution problem was corrected. The dispute between Greenwood's and Twain's publishers was carried out in the New York Times. This manuscript copy of Is Shakespeare Dead?, written in Twain's hand, is dated less than two months before it was published by Harper and Brothers.

Beck Meets Santa
Beck doesn't really get the whole Christmas thing yet, let alone know who Santa is, but that doesn't stop me from toting him along to festive activities. The other day, I decided it was about time he met Santa, so we went to a local retailer that goes all out and not only has a great Santa, but a free carousel and cute games for the kids. As you can tell by the photos, Beck just stared at everything taking it all in. When it was time for him to sit on the jolly man's lap, he ran up enthusiastically but didn't give a hoot once he was actually sitting down. Here's a peek at a few of the moments.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

has to have three elements. First, it has to be workable. Second, it has
to get enough support in Europe that governments won't start toppling.
Third it has to have some sort of enforcement mechanism in place so that
the Greeks actual adhere to its terms. The first step is easier than the
next two. We need to be looking at political reaction in Europe and
Greece to get a sense of whether the plans will actually work.
The Israelis got their man in the UAE. It has nevertheless blown up in
their face. Danny Ayalon of the Foreign Ministry has said there would be
no diplomatic repercussions because there is no firm proof Israel did it.
However the assumption is that Israel did do it and used quite a team to
do it and now their pictures are available-which means they burned what we
assume are some top operatives. In that sense this is turning into a
costly operation. In fact, none of this makes a lot of sense. There are
too many people, too easily detected, too many pictures-we are certainly
missing something here. are you saying that you think the Israelis were
framed? or that they meant to get caught? or something else? A little more
clarity on how we should dig into this would probably be helpful.
The Iranians have made another crossing into Iraq-again small and very
temporary. But it was also quite visible. This does not seem to be a
preparation for a major military movement, and therefore we have to assume
that it is about sending signals to the Iraqis and Americans about what
happens if the Iranians get put into a box. We need to take a look a the
number and disposition of Iranian forces to see what other actions that
would be more substantial they might try.
There will be yet another week of discussing sanctions on Iran. The
Chinese are furious with the U.S. over Taiwan and the Dalai Lama meeting
and their likelihood at participating in sanctions is extremely unlikely.
Russia is clearly not committed to a gasoline embargo. The Europeans
minds are far away from this issue. But the IAEA has said that Iran is
developing a warhead and the U.S. can't simply ignore that. This is an
endless game that Obama is playing, and quite deliberately, but at some
point something will have to happen.
We should continue to keep our eye on Venezuela. It is as murky as can be
but there is a sense of unease there that is more intense than in the
past. It's not that Chavez is about to fall, but we still think that some
sort of change in how things work down there is likely.
Yanukovich has won in Ukraine. Now the question becomes how quickly he
will roll out his pro-Russian policy. He has already made it clear that he
wants to join the Belarus-Russia-Kazakh customs union. We need also
consider where the Russians will turn next. Georgia is one place, but we
need to keep an eye on the Baltics for increases in Russian pressure,
particularly ethnic Russian unrest.

Great! Then you only have a one in three chance of having to go to a parent-teacher conference!Â
I didn't watch the video, but that headline alone is enough to make me say NO WAY! Then again, it could be profitable for you single Moms out there!  I can see it now, two Dads having to pay child support. Having babies could become profitable!
They don't need technology for that! Hells, my neighbor can't seem to figure out who her babydaddy is. Might be 2 guys, might be 3...

I've owned several Aussies over the years, but never a mini. My guy is 17 mo. old and full of energy, plus some, since I had him neutered. He used to be somewhat independent before and now he is a cling on. Also he has twice the energy he had before! More like a Jack Russell. =) Would he benefit from having a friend? There is someone home 95% of the time and he lacks no love or attention. Tons of exercise for the most part as well. He gets mad when I leave him and gets back at me by chewing down our outside plants big or small even when they are protected by mesh fencing. He is very smart for sure. Last question for now, is he considered unpopular since his markings are mainly black with some tan and just a tiny hint of white on his chest? My regular Aussies were much more colorful. He also has brown eyes. Thank you for your thoughts, they are greatly appreciated!
Follow-Up Postings:
BTW, to clarify a few things. I rescued my little guy. He came from a pet store somewhere in Florida (sad, but true and common I'm sure) and was driven to Ca. where the owner moved and could not keep him. I've had him since he was a scrawny looking puppy. He has since grown into himself quite nicely! He eats better food than I ever do, and is very well loved. NO regrets, so please don't misinterpret my post. Thanks! =) |
I suggest walking your dog before you go out, a good 15 m- 20 minute walk or playtime at the dog park will help your dog to be less distructive. You need to be carefull about plant chewing - it can have deadly consequences. Go get your dog a kkong or other treat filled toys which will occupy him while you are gone. Good luck |
mazer, I live on acreage and he gets plenty of exercise, especially when I KNOW I'll be gone for a short while. Just came home from the store and he decided to chew up a trash can I use for debris. arg.... He doesn't like the kong toys, but I give him lots of braided toys, etc... He's a stinker. The chewed plants were 6' tall palm trees, banana trees and many other vine plants that we'd hoped would cover the fence. Oh and did I mention all of my rose trees??!! Yeah, those too! =) He loves sticks of any kind and I guess he thought they would do. He is a lap dog too. Although he doesn't sleep on the beds, he has his very own with a double pillowtop. Pretty pampered friend. =) |
Does he look like my tri-color Aussie.. This is him at around 4-5 months. One of his brothers was black and white like a border collie, the other 5 sisters and one brother were all merles which most people associate all Aussie to look like which isn't true. They are varied and they even have two distinct head type/shapes. I like em all |
this was his brother |
Here's the rest of the same litter |
I didn't answer your question about is he unpopular.. I don't think so, I like all of the varieties but look at the one I picked LOL The reason I got him was because I had/have two border collies and my eldest 14.y.o. died last September, the 6 y.o BC was literally in the dumps over it so I got this little buy to snap him out of it and it worked. The 6.y.o keeps him really busy outside but I still have to take them both daily to the dog park to really poop them out plus a couple of walks daily to the neighborhood park where they can sort of run around a bit off leash, not supposed to but nobodies every around. |

I agree with Mazer. Even though your puppy has lots of exercise from all your acreage he needs stimulation which is what I think Mazer is trying to say. Aussie's are a super intelligent breed, as you must already know. Dogs get into trouble when bored. Yours is a puppy that needs basic training - Aussie's LOVE, LOVE, LOVE training. |

Since you say you are home 95% of the time, I would just crate/contain the dog when you leave. Apparently he's having a little separation anxiety. Keeping him enclosed will hopefully break the bad habit. Give him something to chew on when you leave, and something that he only gets when you leave. For mine I always leave treats in a kong type bone. The only time she gets it is when I actually leave the house. So she looks at it as a treat for me to leave. After you have crated for a few weeks let him stay out and see if he has stopped. Still give him his special treat/toy. If he still destructs then I would go back to caging for another week. I would also bring the dog to the scene of the crime and scold the dog with "a bad dog" routine. Your trying to get him to associate that Mom will be an unhappy camper and he will be confined if he can't quit destructing. They also make motion activated sprinklers to supposedly keep deer and raccoons out of ponds, etc. They aren't cheap, but that might be another alternative if he's only bothering a particular area or plant. |
We have a mini aussie that is about 3 years old now. We crate trained her when she was a puppy to save our house, yard, etc. Aussies can get into alot of trouble if let alone for long periods of time. Ours has since calmed down and we can actually leave her out when we are gone and aside from an ocasional chewed up crayon (not eaten mind you) she had been very good. We recently got a aussie-poo puppy that is keeping her busy! I highly suggest crate training. She will go into her crate and lay down when she wants to just be left alone and rest, o get away fron the puppy! |
cjmdwyer, Thank you for your post. I recently bought a round Kong for him since he didn't like the other shapes I had gotten him. =) Have a great day! |
Can you possibly get some agility equipment. I wish I had done that with my psycho high energy sheltie. Carla |
I don't have a mini aussie, but the few I have meet have been highly strung and *very* busy little dogs. Significantly more so than the full sized aussies I know. I do live with a highly active 2 year old Border Collie and work at home. It's a crazy combination some days. What has saved us is having a set routine with lots of variety throughout the day: activities like frisbee, dog park, agility, etc and quiet time. I wrote up a schedule for us, set timers and stuck to it religiously for 2 week. I used the crate to start with, then a baby gate on the kitchen, and now he has his bed and free roam of the house. I say "quiet time" and he runs for his bed because he always gets a big treat or kong for 'quiet time'. By day 4 he was anticipating our late morning play session at 10:30 and running to his bed for his lunch time quiet time with kong at 1:00. It's really made a difference. I can work without constant interruptions and he is happier knowing what his job is. In fact right now he is downstairs watching for squirrels in our yard peacefully. :) That's what he does late morning until 12:00 when I'll log off and take him out for a walk and play session. As they say, there are no days off living with a herding dog. :) |

I would recommend putting your hyper active pup through obedience to be followed by agility. Obedience works the brain and body therefore exhausting your pup quickly in a rewarding way. It also lays the foundation for agility, which is a high energy, though-requiring activity that helps bond you and your dog, as well as boost confidence and burn off energy. You have a teenager at 17 months... he's going to rebel, he's going to chew on stuff (they all love potted plants but be careful, many are toxic), and he's going to test you. You may also enroll him twice a week in doggie day care. this will also increase his independence, as well as burn off the energy. He'll come home from the first one and not move for the next full day (promise!). Check out day cares in your area, Petsmart is putting them in more places now. Petsmart.com will allow you to seach for a Petshotel in your area. Good luck! |
Thank you all for your suggestions! I think I needed to vent. I bought a small round Kong that he actually "likes" and it is helping when I'm gone. Thanks! |
I've gotta learn how to rollerblade. All that Aussie and Border collie pulling power I'm letting go to waste. We'd be the two miles to the dog park in record time and totally green doing it. LOL |

There are no "good" breeders for mini aussies, just like there are no "good" breeders of "silver" labs. Breeder who specialize in a color or size do not have the best interest of the breed in mind while breeding (any more than doodle and poo breeders do) and cannot be considered "good" breeders |

When you're looking for a dog, please consider a breed rescue - they often have puppies available! |
