Does the Targee have enough support for longer Hikes say 15 to 20 miles ? are they dust proof ? anyone know what they weigh ?
Terran Siladi
I would happily wear these for a 20 mile hike, and in fact I usually wear my trail runners (which have a bit less support then these) for hikes of that length. Support really comes down to personal preference and how "in shape" your feet are. They should keep dust out of the shoe because of the eVent liner (if it's waterproof, usually it's dust proof too), but dust could still get in around the top opening obviously. According to Keen's website they tip the scales at about 16.5 oz. so just over a pound each.

I need extremely stable shoes because of arthritis in my feet and pronation. The first thing I do with any shoes is try to bend them - up and down and sidewise. If they bend- I don't buy them- orders from the podiatrist. My question is- do these "bend"? I had a pair of Keens a year ago that I wore as I hiked through Arizona. Wonderful shoes, but have no idea what kind they were. I do remember that they had some pretty big nubs on the soles.

Great Shoes But...

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had a pair of these a few years ago. Right after I bought them the stitching on the toe separated. I took them back to the store and got a new pair... The exact same thing happened again. I decided just to live with it since they were really comfortable and waterproof. I eventually put some shoe goo under where the seam had separated. After about a year or so the sole had begun to wear thin and separate, but I finally killed them when I wore them while welding and sparks burned holes in the non-leather parts (pretty stupid of me). They were no longer waterproof after that. I miss these shoes but I probably won't buy them again due to all the problems I had with them.

Best Shoes Ever!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my third pair of these shoes. I hiked over 110 miles this Summer from one side of the Uinta Mountains to the other after these shoes were over two years old. Best shoes I have ever purchased.
Good for, well, EVERYTHING!

My wife wears these cause she works in a zoo. No, that's not a euphemism, she works in an actual zoo! If they can stand up to gopher pits and rocky enclosures, they're good for just about anything you can throw at 'em!

KEEN Targhee II - Cover Miles of Trail in Comfort
3rd or 4th pair
Great shoes, order 1/2 size bigger for your foot!
Light hikers, excellent stability!!!!!!!!!
Be careful, Keen seems to need better inspectors for defects in their products, although I wear them almost exclusively, I have had to return for silly defects across different types of their shoes. However, that said. I love the shoes they make!
The Missing Color
Gargoyle/Midnight Navy
fav shoes
this is my 3rd pair. size 1/2 size large. Three pairs in 2 years I think or thereabouts of everyday wear.
real nice on trails for light hiking shoes. I own 5 different pair of Keen Shoes. My only complaint is I have encountered a number of factory defects in their shoes, I have had to return more than one pair over the past three years for manufacture issues which makes me wonder how they passed their inspector. But It has always been worth the return to the store because the replacements have been great.
These shoes have Excellent stability.
I have used these Targhee II shoes in the woods on the break walls when fishing, urban atmosphere.
The "Black Olive/Jester Red" is not the same as the picture! The picture shows a gray shoe while it is actually more of an olive color. Little disappointed that they didn't check this before posting it online...
No shit, maybe thats why its called "black olive" and not gray
are they true to size?
are they true to size?
Connor Bruson
Yes they are. I usually wear a 10.5, and that size fits me perfectly in Keen hikers.
i have had 3 pairs of these 1/2 size larger fit great. But not all keens are the same unfortunately! recently bought a diff pair of keens that were too big 1/2 sie larger...
go figure!
Good Shoe
I'm on my second pair and really like them. I have wide feet and they work well for me. My first pair had some glue issues on the sole, where the bottom tread unglued on the small strips that wrap up the side. Shoe goo fixed it. The fabric in the heel is also worn through, but I use them actively.
Ron V
Yes the glue on the bottom black soles is very poor, the upper is in great she while the bottom sole is only being held on at the toe. Great fit, feel and uppers though! I am not sure I would buy again with so many reports of poor gluing
Very Comfortable
I've had the Keen Targhee II hikers for a few weeks now and love them. i use them for kicking around and when my feet need some soothing comfort. They are warm but very comfortable. i putchased them in the woring size and was delighted to discover that Backcountry has great customer service.
Poor workmenship/ great customer service
I really like the features of Keen Targhee, waterproofing, S3 sole, blisterfree perect feet (claim to be). But I am not convinced afrer trying three pairs of them. I wear size 9, and ordered one thinking of blister free fit and design. But after second trail hike of 4 miles, my small fingers on both feet developed huge blisters, and toes were sore to touch. I used them twice again with similar results. So contacted Backcountry and they were extremely helpful in getting the exchange to 1/2 size larger. Received the shoes and the sole is separating from the leather upper at various places, the mid sole of the shoes is glued wrongly. It seems Keen has poor quality control. I contacted Backcountry again, and the they were extremely helpful in resolving the issue by exchanging for another pair, but of different color and free shipping both ways. I am not sold on Keen and probably will not consider Keen in the future, but certainly sold on the Backcountry's customer service.
Keen Targhee II Men
Just received Keen Targhee in mail today. First time Keen buyer and Backcountry shopper. Both with excellent experience. I'm very pleased with Backcountry's customer service and superfast free shipping. As other reviewers described these shoes are very comfortable from very first time, the size is true, I wear size 9 and these fits perfect even without socks. It seems the shoes comforts to the feet after a few minute. I do a lot of trail walking and can't wait to find out how these shoes fare in comfort and durability. My first impression is great.
After wearing the shoes for second time, developed large blisters on both small toes, and entire toe was sore to touch. I wear size 9 and this seems little cramped at toe area. So contacted Backcountry, explained the problem and their customer service resolved the issue in not time by exchanging the shoes for 1/2 size larger. Lets see how do they fare.

| Biche Dans l'Absinthe by Gobin DaudéHey, I love cumin. Kingdom, Femme, love love love cumin. Sadly, this smells like chicken soup: pepper, old cumin dust, something green and dry like thyme, more pepper. Smells like you were cooking, practicing voodoo, and pruning bushes all while wearing the same sweaty burlap sack. If you just want to smell weird, go for it. 15th March, 2007 |
| Ta'If by Ormonde JayneAm I the only one with the incredible disappearing juice? I put it on, smells nice enough. Certainly better than other things you could squirt on yourself. Wait for the sharp notes to burn off, and lo - its gone! Under an hour and I can't find it anywhere. No bang for my buck. 11th December, 2006 |
| Aromatics Elixir by CliniqueThis smells like rich hippies. It always makes me sneeze when I first spray it on. 07th November, 2006 |
| Vent Vert (new) by Pierre BalmainI still smell mostly the citrus and vetiver combo in the EDT. I always loved Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermes but it never stayed long on me. I wish I had some to compare, but maybe its just the green bottle that drives this similarity. I should have bought the sprayer bottle, this stuff wants spritzing in the linen closets. 30th October, 2006 |
| Jungle Le Tigre by KenzoOdd in a great way. No fun smelling like same old same old. Much too frou frou fruity for me though. Smells a little dated, like Trans Am's and leopard print underwear. 23rd October, 2006 |
| Bal à Versailles by Jean DesprezA lovely and classic spice scent to add to my wardrobe of scents. Much less baby tushie powder scent than Habanita and more demure than Shalimar. 23rd October, 2006 |
| Habanita by MolinardPretty up close, but otherwise just baby powder on me. I'd much perfer Shalimar, more teeth to bite passers-by. 20th October, 2006 |
| Safari by Ralph LaurenUm, how boring, how perfumey. Makes me wish I had my bottle of Bandit with me for a do-over. 14th October, 2006 |
| Samba by Perfumer's WorkshopAnother pre-teen perfume choice. I must have liked the fruity stuff, and the bottle looked like a toy an infant plays with. 13th October, 2006 |
| Borneo 1834 by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoUm, I wore Angel when it was new and interesting. But now that everyone wears it, what am I going to do with this one? I'm sure there is a better way to wear patchouli. 12th October, 2006 |
| In Love Again by Yves Saint LaurentThis smelled like nothing else, and such a beautiful bottle. Loud silly fruity smells. But I did not enjoy wearing it all day. It put me off balance, and wasn't really complementary to my personality. But the bottle looks nice, I'll still put it on for birthday parties and picnics. 12th October, 2006 |
| Yvresse / Champagne by Yves Saint LaurentNectarine, cucumbers, and powder. I love this perfume, but I'd rather not wear it any more. I'll just keep the bottle and maybe sniff it once in a while. 12th October, 2006 |
| Paris by Yves Saint LaurentStinky peach powder. One squirt and you'll reek of it for hours. Old aunties with lipstick on their teeth. 12th October, 2006 |
| Bandit by Robert PiguetI have the vintage version, and it is all business. This is my new office scent, sweet incense and leather, with something stinky thrown in just to be interesting.. 12th October, 2006 |
| Colors de Benetton by BenettonYeah, I wore this when I was a teenager. Could have been worse. 12th October, 2006 |
| Eau de Charlotte by Annick GoutalWeird baby lotion. Pleasant but not fabulous. I have hairspray that smells better. 12th October, 2006 |

Nice wide pull through sites and trees and landscaping were nice. Right next to a great BBQ place and across from a good gas station with diesel. Quiet and easy access. Now to Why I gave it such a poor rating. The park is on a highway easement, they can't use over half the park, and it hasn't been updated in years. No WiFi, pool was a swamp, low water pressure, ants everywhere, no TV channels available even on antennae, no Good Sam discount, and no credit cards accepted. - Axe and Cindy
This is by far the worst campground we have ever stayed at. Our first clue should have been the pool with green scum floating in it. Next clue would have been the fact that we paid cash and no registration was taken. We picked our own spot after driving by a wrecked car sitting in oue spot and broken down rvs in other spots..does it feel safe? No! Does it look safe? No! We are staying only because my driver is exhausted. - txbandb
Not our favorite but still good for a quick stop over. We stayed when there was an event at the SHED and it was somewhat noisy for our taste. - rwmrvr

This is a typical Government Campground. It has the basics and many sites are tight and can be out of level. Our site was long enough, but hard to back into due to it being on the end of a tight loop. The ocean isn't visible from the campground and with the closeness of the bayou, mosquitoes could be a problem during the rainy season. Hard to believe a campground can be found at a reasonable price on the Gulf Coast. - Teacher's Pet
The campground manager could not have been more helpful in ensuring that we had a good site in the campground. Although earlier reviewers said no reservations, this is not correct; reservations can be made through the national system or by calling the park directly. Each site is paved and level, with electric and water hookups. The showers in the single bathhouse were private and clean as were the restrooms. The campground is convenient to Gautier, Ocean Springs, and Biloxi. The price shown reflects a 50% discount for those with a national Senior Pass. Vegetation around the camp sites are live oaks and although one can see one's neighbors, the sites are comfortably spaced. This is a very nice campground and we'd surely stay again when in the area. - Jay Rutherford
Very nice well kept park. The restrooms and showers are very private and very clean. First time I have seen private family showers in a campground.
Sites are easy to access and spacious. There were people constantly picking up and grooming the park. The park is quiet and near the water but easy access to all the local sites including the casinos and all the tourist sites.
I would stay here again. - digger2280

Citizen: something's in the water?
A citizen asked for a more thorough look at the fluoride content of the town's water at the Dec. 7 meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
Rob Sartori presented aldermen with a detailed report on the cons of fluoridation. He asked that the board consider several questions and provide him with the answers within 30 days. He also requested the board notify customers via their water bills of the use of fluoride.
The board took the matter under advisement.
According to the materials Sartori provided, fluoride poses health risks for infants. Babies, who are exposed to fluoridated water mixed with infant formula, may be at risk for thyroid problems, disruptions to the production of endocrine, and bone cancer, among other issues. Materials also report that fluoridation has been linked to health problems in adults such as kidney disease and types of cancer.

An efficient one pot synthesis of thio and selenolevoglucosans from 1,6-diactivated carbohydrate derivatives has been achieved using benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate, $[BnNEt_3]_2MoS_4$, as a sulfur transfer reagent and tetraethylammonium tetraselenotungstate, $[Et_4N]_2WSe_4$, as a selenium transfer reagent, respectively. The methodology has also been extended to the synthesis of 1,5-epithio and 1,5-episeleno pentoses.

our quilts
Don't her hands look so sweet and little? There's no way she's going to be turning seven soon...
The kiddos and I ventured out before rest time to find a shady spot for a mini photo shoot. Here we are by the garden fence, which is covered with wild morning glories at this time of year. Oh, that sounds like a good thing? Well, to keep it real they rarely bloom, take over like a weed and leave brittle, dry sticks on the fence after the autumn chill. But, at least they're a green backdrop for Aria's first quilt today!
And here's another finish. This pattern is "90 Degrees" and you can find it at Kate's blog, One Flew Over. The basic design is a large quarter log cabin, sliced and reassembled and set in a 4 x 4 configuration. Kate's pattern includes all the cutting directions and fabric requirements too - oh, and the option for a twin size version. It was a fun, no-brainer little project that came together with ease.
Wait, does Liam look distracted?
Yeah, he kinda was.
Here's the quilt back, photographed over here after a little pig-weed-feeding breakout session (feeding the weeds to the pigs, not the other way around). My models were feeling a little put upon by this point, so I was lucky to catch a clear image, even if it is sideways...
But, I hope you can make out between the two of these images, the squared-off spiral quilting in each of the four quilt quadrants. That was fun, and easy. Would totally do it again!
And, I'm happy with the resulting texture! The backing is pieced with scrap fabrics and lots of Kona papaya, a new favorite. Bound with Kona cotton candy.
Another quilt finished - 2 down, 2 to go. Since we're halfway through the month, my goal is still feeling realistic. I'm going to wrap up this baby quilt (finished 42" square) for my sister's new little one and start stitching up another!
25 comments:
I just want to say I triple heart your blog and love,love,love your quilts they are so bright and cheery! You make it look so easy! I have a question also: I am using a vintage 1957 Singer model 66 sewing machine to piece and quilt my quilts (have only ever done 2 so far! quilted one It turned out ok and tied the other. My question is : what type of thread do you recommend for machine quilting? please?
ReplyDeleteThank-you all for the sweet comments for Aria. I'll be sure to share them with her. If she didn't already want to be a blogger, I'm sure your words would convince her!
Julie, I sew mostly with Gutermann thread. It's a little pricey, and I'm not sure it's necessary. I have some Aurifil thread to try, but haven't yet. I also use good old Coats & Clark when the color or price is right!Bertine - I did not mark the corners for the spiral quilting, I just let the seams of the 4 large square blocks be my guide. I used a walking foot and a little stick-out quilting guide that snaps into my walking foot to follow the seams around. When I reached the corner, I turned the quilt sharply with the needle in the down position. Hope that helps!

Simultaneous Estimation of the Supply and Demand of Auditor Reputation in the Market for Initial Public OfferingsEdward B. Douthett Jr.George Mason University - School of Business Paul A. CopleyJames Madison University - School of Accounting January 1996 Abstract: This study investigates factors that determine the choice of auditor in the market for new issues of securities. While ex post benefits of selecting a high reputation auditor are well documented in the literature (e.g., higher IPO proceeds), researchers have had less success in establishing the ex ante determinants of the demand for auditor reputation. To address this problem, we use an improved research design which explicitly considers the confounding supply side effects of audit fees on demand. We specify a system of simultaneous equations and utilize a two-stage generalized least squares estimation procedure to investigate the determinants of the demand for auditor reputation (proxied by auditor size) in the market for initial public offerings. Using a sample of firms issuing securities between 1991 and 1994, we find that audit fees are an important variable omitted in previous audit demand studies and that audit fees and demand are endogenously determined. We find that the demand for auditor reputation is inversely related to the ownership percentage retained by the entrepreneur/owners and to the proportion of the IPO proceeds used for investment purposes. Additionally, the demand for auditor reputation is found to be inversely related to a measure of firm-specific risk reflecting the likelihood that the issuing company will fail within three years following the IPO.

Summary: Detecting Structure in Diffusion Tensor MR Images K. Krishna Nand1 , Rafeef Abugharbieh1 , Brian G. Booth2 , and Ghassan Hamarneh2 1 Biomedical Signal and Image Computing Lab, University of British Columbia 2 Medical Image Analysis Lab, School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University {kkrishna,firstname.lastname@example.com, {bgb2,firstname.lastname@example.com Abstract. We derive herein first and second-order differential operators for de- tecting structure in diffusion tensor MRI (DTI). Unlike existing methods, we are able to generate full first and second-order differentials without dimensionality reduction and while respecting the underlying manifold of the data. Further, we extend corner and curvature feature detectors to DTI using our differential opera- tors. Results using the feature detectors on diffusion tensor MR images show the ability to highlight structure within the image that existing methods cannot. 1 Introduction Feature detection is a core component in most image processing and analysis tasks with ubiquitous applications ranging from data registration to object segmentation, classi-

Protein question
Okay, first I'll apologize if this is repetitive, but I'm curious.
I've changed around my lifting schedule from lifting at night, followed by a shake to lifting at lunch, followed by a heavy protein meal (20 to 30 grams). Will this effect my progress at all? Is protein protein, regardless of the source, and does the whey shake absorb faster than real food? Does this make a difference?
Background. I'm on NROLFW, I'm shooting for fat-loss, muscle retention with a 300 cal deficit. Lift 3 days a week, cardio (run) 3 additional days.
I'm also on NROLFW. It was my understanding that it's the type of protein that may make a difference, you need a protein that's easy to digest like that of whey, soy, egg. Unfortunately it takes too long to break down many other proteins for them to be as affective.
all that to ask what kind of protein you're having?
Thank you. I was thinking I'd read that somewhere but couldn't find it. I can always bring my shake stuff and make a shake for lunch and then have a "heavy snack" later in the afternoon.
Oops, I was too quick. I'm usually having, chicken, fish or soy and vegetables or whole wheat bread.

02 September 2010
Manufacturing continued to grow in August as the PMI registered 56.3 percent, an increase of 0.8 percentage point when compared to July's reading of 55.5 percent. According to the Institute for Supply Management, which calculates the index, a reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting. Additionally, a PMI Index in excess of 42 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy. Therefore, the PMI indicates growth for the 16th consecutive month in the overall economy, as well as expansion in the manufacturing sector for the 13th consecutive month.
"Manufacturing activity continued at a very positive rate in August, as the PMI rose slightly when compared to July," said Norbert J. Ore, CPSM, C.P.M., chair of the Institute for Supply Management™ Manufacturing Business Survey Committee.
According to Ore, the past relationship between the PMI and the overall economy indicates that the average PMI for January through August, 57.8 percent, corresponds to a 5.3 percent increase in real gross domestic product, or GDP. In addition, if the PMI for August, 56.3 percent, is annualized, it corresponds to a 4.8 percent increase in real GDP annually, he noted.
Eleven of the 18 manufacturing industries reported growth in August, in the following order: Primary Metals; Apparel, Leather & Allied Products; Transportation Equipment; Fabricated Metal Products; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Computer & Electronic Products; Paper Products; Chemical Products; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; and Printing & Related Support Activities. Other highlights: ISM's New Orders Index registered 53.1 percent in August, which is a decrease of 0.4 percentage point when compared to the 53.5 percent reported in July. This is the 14th consecutive month of activity above 50 percent in the New Orders Index. A New Orders Index above 50.2 percent, over time, is generally consistent with an increase in the Census Bureau's series on manufacturing orders (in constant 2000 dollars).
ISM's Employment Index registered 60.4 percent in August, which is 1.8 percentage points higher than the 58.6 percent reported in July. This is the ninth consecutive month of growth in manufacturing employment. An Employment Index above 49.8 percent, over time, is generally consistent with an increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on manufacturing employment.
The full August PMI report is available from the Institute for Supply Management.

Pakistan received its first Block 52 F-16D yesterday (pictured above and below) as part of ambitious plans to refurbish its air force's fighter fleet.
The PAF, however, is doing this with a combination of both western fighters, and help from its traditional supplier China through the JF-17 and potentially the J-10B.
Tactically, that will be facinating in the future – using both Chinese and US fighters in tandem is gonna be interesting and I am sure there will be be many people watching the service closely in the coming years.
Politically, is this a case of keeping your friends close and enemies closer? If so, who is who in this instance? Your guess is as good as mine.
The bigger question, however, is where this leaves Lockheed Martin in India's $12 billion 126-fighter medium multi-role combat aircraft competition. New Delhi has never been happy about the sale of the F-16 to Pakistan, and this will not help Lockheed's cause in that lucrative competition. Watch this space.

"The proposed weapons package included an order for 500 Raytheon AIM-120C5 advanced medium range air to air missiles, 200 Raytheon AIM-9M-8/9 Sidewinders, 500 Boeing joint direct attack munitions, …."
Understand that the Pakistan Air Force wants these to use against the Taliban.
So when did the Taliban get an air force with effective SAM systems?
These arms are are to for the following :
1. Allow China to reverse engineer the same illegally
2. Use against India.
Okay, I understand where you are coming from, but isn't that a crazy move? I mean, if it is really the best aircraft, than that is what the IAF should get. The Block 60 will be more advanced than the Block 52 that Pakistan is getting anyway.
Hmmm, you sure are a cynic mate (or is that a realist)? Heh.
@ Anand.
I understand that you are Indian but hasn't India been purchasing weaponry for potential use against its enemies (Pakistan, China etc)?
Ofcourse the air to air weapons requested are not for Taliban but if the US uses Pakistani army to fight the Taliban/War against terror then the US also has a responsibility for looking after Pakistani army's responsibilities/needs.
Q- What is Pakistan army's chief responsibility?
A- Looking after the sovereignty of Pakistan.
Pakistan obviously needs such equipment so this news makes sense from a geopolitical angle.

The SEC Is Still Investigating Steve Jobs' Health Disclosures
The fact that Steve Jobs' health "went from relatively simple to more complex in nine days" is worrying the Security and Exchange Commission, meaning that investigators are going to poke into whether or not Apple has misled investors.
Woz Says Jobs "Doesn't Sound Like He's Sick"
Steve Wozniak recently talked to his ole buddy and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, apparently on the phone. Woz told reporters that though he didn't ask specifically about Jobs' condition, Jobs sounded "healthy, energetic"—not sick. That's good news, as Jobs' scheduled return to Apple is imminent. [WSJ]

The storm after Gizmodo uncovered the real state of Steve Jobs' health keeps growing. Now the SEC is examining Apple's behavior to "ensure investors weren't misled," Bloomberg reports:

According to a previously reliable source, Apple misrepresented the reasons behind Macworld and Jobs' keynote cancellation. Allegedly, the real cause is his rapidly declining health. In fact, it may be even worse than we imagined:

Supreme Court ruling strikes a blow in ongoing battle
The Washington Times, April 2, 2012
Slowly, inexorably, the monster is being driven back to its lair. Its days of terrorizing villagers may soon be over. I wish I were talking about the federal government, but it's the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), better known as the Environmental Protection-or-else Agency.
At one time, it was a harmless little back-alley operation that stumbled upon a secret growth formula, downed the whole vat and began wreaking havoc. You won't find this account on the EPA's official website, but you will find ample evidence of the monster's ambitions to control the world, such as its quest for "environmental justice."
On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court slapped the monster right across the chops in Sackett v. EPA. An Idaho couple, Chantell and Mike Sackett, were building a home but fell victim to an EPA compliance order in 2005. Their building permit was revoked after the EPA charged that they had violated the Clean Water Act by filling in their lot with rocks and dirt.
"The Sacketts were denied any hearing to contest the Compliance Order by the EPA," American Civil Rights Union general counsel Peter Ferrara wrote in a friend-of-the-court brief in the case. "[T]he Sacketts can ignore the EPA's Compliance Order … That course entails incurring EPA fines of as much as $750,000 per month, $9,000,000 for a year."
The court's unanimous decision, which overturns – yet again – a wacky 9th Circuit ruling, will allow the Sacketts to appeal the order in court instead of going through a lengthy, expensive wetlands-permit process. They might still lose, but at least they won't be bankrupted fighting a tyrannical bureaucracy.
Created on Dec. 2, 1970, the EPA began with an executive order from President Nixon that combined several clean-water and other anti-pollution agencies into one basket. The full Congress never officially approved the monster's creation, although the plan was vetted by Senate and House committees.
The newborn EPA had a budget of just more than $1 billion and 4,084 employees. Not bad for a startup.
This past week, EPA Administrator Janet P. Jackson told two House Energy and Commerce subcommittees that the EPA's 2013 budget request is $8.3 billion, a 1.2 percent decrease from 2012. The agency has 17,000 employees.
(Thus, a typical dysfunctional government agency – Now 8X the original budget and 4X number of original employees – as the government takes over your lives and makes them worse. And, you a'int seen nuttin' yet. Wait 'til the Obama Health Care program or even any stunted model takes off after a diluted, Obama opposed Supreme Ct. decision. The whole federal budget will go right down the tube and guess who else with it?) jsk
This (the EPA budget) is pocket change and a volleyball team compared to other federal agencies. But over the years, despite its relatively small size, the EPA has acquired vast powers.
Just after Earth Day came into being, Congress enacted a slew of environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act (1972), Coastal Zone Management Act (1972), Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries Act (1972) and Endangered Species Act (1973). "The Rules and Regulations issued under these laws numbered into many thousands," an official EPA history states. "In its early years EPA alone placed about 1,500 rulemaking notices in the Federal Register annually."
Some of them did a lot of good. Smokestack industries could no longer pour tons of pollutants into the air and water. The Hudson River, which was declared an open sewer in the 1960s, bounced back smartly.
Emboldened, the EPA kept growing. A big breakthrough came in 2007, when the Supreme Court, whose justices moonlight as scientists, found that carbon dioxide, which we breathe out, was a "greenhouse gas" the EPA could regulate.
In 2009, President Obama's EPA announced a massive campaign to thwart "climate change." (whatever that is?) I'm told that deep within the bowels of the EPA complex in Washington's Federal Triangle is a diabolical plan to fit us all with muzzles, but this probably is just a rumor.
The good news is that the EPA's greenhouse gas limits are being weighed this month by the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District.
Meanwhile, nine state attorneys general – Tom Horne of Arizona, Pam Bondi of Florida, Sam Olens of Georgia, Bill Schuette of Michigan, Scott Pruitt of Oklahoma, Marty J. Jackley of South Dakota, Alan Wilson of South Carolina, Greg Abbott of Texas and Kenneth T. Cuccinelli of Virginia – have announced a major push-back against unconstitutional overreaches by the Obama administration, including the EPA.
"In Florida, a state with one of the most aggressive and innovative water-quality-protection programs in the country, the EPA chose to impose its own costly, unprecedented and unscientific numeric nutrient criteria," the attorneys general's statement says. "The estimated impact the EPA's rules would impose was dramatic, including billions of dollars in compliance costs, significant spikes in utility bills and the loss of thousands of jobs. The Florida Attorney General's Office sued the EPA and two weeks ago prevailed when a federal judge in Tallahassee threw out the costliest of the EPA's rules, the one governing Florida's streams and rivers. In doing so, the judge found the EPA's rules were not based on sound science.
"In Oklahoma, the EPA illegally usurped Oklahoma's authority in the Clean Air Act to determine the state's own plan for addressing sources of emissions by imposing a federal implementation plan. The federal plan goes beyond the authority granted to the EPA in the Clean Air Act and will result in a $2 billion cost to install technology needed to complete the EPA plan and a permanent increase of 15-20 percent in the cost of electricity. The Obama Administration is fighting Oklahoma's appeal, which was filed in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals."
Texas has filed a lawsuit challenging the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. The attorneys general note that the EPA's order was "particularly dubious because the state was included in the regulation at the last minute and without an opportunity to respond to the proposed regulation" and "was based on a dubious claim that air pollution from Texas affected a single air-quality monitor in Granite City, Illinois, more than 500 miles and three states away from Texas."
As Congress sharpens its budget knife, the EPA monster, which started out as a well-meaning bloke but grew into a bullying monster, may find that overstepping its power is hazardous to its own health.

Massachusetts Firefighters Participate in Training Burn
On Saturday, March 29, 2003, the Williamsburg Fire Department held a permitted training burn. Area fire departments participated in ladder, ventilation, exposure protection, and overhaul exercises. Local departments included; Northampton, Worthington and Chesterfield.
Once ignited, fire spread rapidly through the first and second floors. Twenty minutes into the blaze partial roof collapse was reported, followed ten minutes later by the C and D walls. The two-story, wood frame construction home was burned to the ground in less than an hour.
In previous weeks following up to the event, area departments were invited to train in the abandoned home. Williamsburg and Hatfield drilled interior attack, search and rescue, self rescue, and overhaul.

Peter Greste jailed for seven years
Middle East correspondent Ruth Pollard describes the scenes of chaos in an Egyptian courtroom after Australian journalist Peter Greste was found guilty of conspiring to falsify news to defame Egypt, and jailed for seven years.

Cairo: Australian journalist Peter Greste and his two al-Jazeera colleagues have been found guilty by an Egyptian court and sentenced to seven years in prison for producing false news to defame Egypt.
There were angry scenes as the verdict was announced to the courtroom packed with family, diplomats from Australia, Canada, Britain, the Netherlands and Latvia, and dozens of local and international journalists.

Legal experts say the journalists can appeal against the verdict but such appeals can take significant time to even be heard.
Greste's parents Lois and Juris watched the sentencing on social media and a family friend said they were ''devastated''. They planned to speak to the media at 10am on Tuesday.
Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop said the government was shocked at the verdict.

''We are deeply dismayed by the fact that a sentence has been imposed and we are appalled by the severity of it,'' she said.
"[The government] will now initiate contact at the highest levels in the new Egyptian government to see whether we can gain some kind of intervention from the new government."
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Labor would support the government's efforts to free Greste.

"Our thoughts tonight are with Peter and his family – and Labor stands ready to assist the government in every effort to secure his release."
Prosecutors claimed the three al-Jazeera journalists – Greste, a correspondent, along with Egyptian-Canadian Cairo bureau chief Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and Egyptian producer Baher Mohamed – used unlicensed equipment to broadcast false information to defame and destabilise Egypt.
Fahmy and Mohamed were further accused of being members of the Muslim Brotherhood. All deny the charges as do the other 17 people named in the list released by authorities in February.
Al-Jazeera says only nine are staff members. One of those named, the Dutch journalist Rena Netjes, has never worked for the network.
She was forced to flee Egypt when she discovered her name was on the list because she had met Mohamed Fahmy in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in Cairo.
Greste and Fahmy were arrested on December 29 in a night-time raid on al-Jazeera's makeshift offices in the luxury Marriott Hotel in Cairo, where the network was forced to move after the station was raided by authorities last year. Mohamed was arrested in his Cairo home. They were soon dubbed in the Egyptian media the "Marriott Terror Cell".
Their six-month detention has drawn international condemnation from human rights and press freedom groups, and from the Australian, US and Canadian governments.
Yet nothing would make Egypt back down from its campaign against the Qatari-owned network. The military-backed interim government says al-Jazeera was the mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood – the movement behind the deposed president Mohamed Mursi that Egypt designated a terrorist organisation on December 25.
"They broadcast these scenes through the Qatari Jazeera channel to assist the terrorist group in achieving its purposes of influencing international public opinion," the charge sheet reads. "The technical reports revealed that this media material contains video clips that were altered and edited, using a high-tech program and editing devices, and that these scenes are false and damage the country's national security."
But the court was presented with no such evidence.
Greste and his colleagues are just three people caught up in a giant government-sponsored security crackdown. As many as 40,000 people are believed to have been arrested since the Muslim Brotherhood-backed government of Dr Mursi was forced from power by the military, with, it says, the backing of the Egyptian people. Hundreds have been sentenced to death.

Album Rating: 4.0I dig this album, but not as much as Pronounced 'Leh-nerd Skin-nerd'. "That Smell", "One More Time" and "Honky Tonk Night Time Man" are all brilliant.
"That Smell" is probably my least favorite. Haven't listened to this album in ages.
wow^^^ i love That Smell though i dont think it's as good as Simple Man or Tuesday's Gone but its up there i'd say i like it as much as The Ballad of Curtis Leow which is another great one
AeroZeppelin...shame on you. this album was released in 1977. October 17th to be exact. Ronnie Van Zant was already dead in 1979.
Also, i would have to say that this was their most country/blues influenced album by far.
Album Rating: 4.5One of my personal skynyrd favorites definitely lot stronger sounding compared to gimmie back my bullets.
A nice little rocker, this really gets me in the mood to watch a western. Great band.
Digging: Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third
Album Rating: 4.5Great album but not my personal favorite. I actually prefer "freebird" lol. I love guitar and their earlier work was a bit more bluesy guitar driven stuff. Non the less this CD is no stranger to my player!!
Album Rating: 4.0Their best effort since "Second Helping".
Album Rating: 4.0Play some Skynyrd
Album Rating: 4.0"Their best effort since "Second Helping"." Agreed. I actually prefer "Second Helping" to this one.
Digging: Dorthia Cottrell - Dorthia Cottrell

I'm 13 years old ad always seem to be living ten steps ahead of my self. Many 'hobbies' and phases come and go but Art and writing have stuck by me through out the years. And Twilight of coarse. So I picked this site because it had a combination of all three. I like to keep things extremely short and simple or I will end up rambling on fro ages. Like write now my train of thought ventured into thinking about Percy Jackson for reasons that only I would get. So there it is short and simple.

Now review from the App.
Better than expected
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this ski for cat and heli skiing and it did not disappoint in the deep snow. Where i was surprised was when I hit the cat track and the skis gripped and took off.
I now take these to the resort more often than not. usually they are a little much, but they handle well and are a lot of fun - more so than most fat skis. They also attract a lot of looks.

Seven Seas Voyager Cruise Review by Peter Wise: Athens to Istanbul

Compare Prices on Seven Seas Voyager Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
Athens to Istanbul
We are not frequent cruisers, this being only our third cruise since 2003 and our first with Regent Seven Seas. Our flight from Heathrow was at 8:15 so we stayed overnight at the Heathrow Sofitel and booked parking there as well. It was reassuring to know that our car would not be moved while we were away. I wasn't even asked for my key. The Voyager is the largest ship we've been on and we wondered how crowded it would feel with 700+ passengers. We needn't have worried. We rarely saw the other English passengers who shared the same flight out and we never felt as though it was full, even in the dining room. It had also been refurbished in November 2011 so everything was fresh and new.
We were off the ship every day so which left little time to get involved with other activities, although we were often in the Horizon Lounge in time for the Trivia quiz.
The service was fantastic. The crew were friendly, cheerful and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Part way More
through the cruise Comment cards are left in your suite so that you can raise any issues you've had. We had one or two minor suggestions and these were followed up by the Executive Concierge who left a message on our suite phone to go and discuss them with him. I mentioned, in passing, that my starter in the Signatures restaurant wasn't what I expected and almost as soon as I got back to the suite I had an apologetic phone call from the restaurant manager and an offer for us to eat there again. We probably took on more excursions than we should. Most were timed to leave the ship before 9:00am and this meant that we were only able to have a leisurely breakfast in Compass Rose on one morning. The rest of the time we breakfasted in Le Verandah, which opens earlier and is self-service. It's difficult to advise on the excursions. There's a balance to be struck between trying to see everything or thinking you might have missed out on something if you don't and the calls on your physical resources of being up between 6:30 and 7:00am to meet the time for your trip each day. It is supposed to be a holiday after all. The advantage is, I suppose, that you can decide which places you'd never want to return to - which in our case would be Kavala, Xanthi and Istanbul. All the excursions were well arranged, had knowledgeable guides and each coach carried only 20-25 passengers. The only hitch we had was in Istanbul when the driver was moved on from our pick-up point by the police and couldn't find his way back. He was a relief driver and didn't know the City. It was a Sunday and everyone was out and about. Everywhere was crowded and we had to run the gauntlet of dozens of street sellers at every venue, who were extremely persistent in their efforts to get you to buy. We had an issue with the amount Regent were going to charge us for a (UK)Visitor's Visa for Turkey. This was $49 each if you let them arrange it, instead of the ã10 you pay if you pick up your own at the airport. However, we'd arrived in Athens and had called at Kusadasi and needed the visa for Istanbul because we were staying overnight there before disembarking for the flight home. We found out, from another couple, that we could buy a Visitor's visa at the port in Kusadasi. Go into Arrivals and turn sharp left and there's an office marked "Visas" on the window. We bought ours for ã10 each, took them to the ship's Reception Desk and they stuck them in our passports. We didn't need our passports with us. The port authorities know you're from the ship and they've already cleared you to land. I assume there's a Visa office at the port in Istanbul too.
Our suite 854 was designated "concierge level". The only advantage this gives you is pre-booking your excursions and speciality restaurants well in advance. In addition you get 60 minutes free internet use. The latter is useful for printing out your Boarding Cards for the return flight. All the regular suites are the same size and have much the same amenities. (Since returning we've booked another cruise, this time on The Mariner and have gone for a G Grade Suite.) The suite was beautifully presented and well maintained by our steward, Romel. The walk in wardrobe was great and there was plenty of drawer space. The bathroom had not only a full size bath but also a separate shower in a glass cubicle.We had two quite rough nights at sea during which the suite vibrated quite badly as did the fittings around the vanity unit - plastic and wood don't go well together. The carpenters did their level best to improve it - which they did but you'll always get a certain level of noise. It didn't spoil things and we were often so tired by the end of the evening after excursions etc that we soon dropped off.
We thought the food was excellent in all venues. There were one or two minor hitches - one night the fish was slightly overcooked - we mentioned it straight away and the dish was cooked again. There were profuse apologies and every night after that the staff fell over backwards to make sure everything was all right. If you're not able to get into the speciality dining venues don't worry. The food and service in Compass Rose is excellent. They also include dishes from Prime 7 and Signatures on their menu each night. The menu changes daily so there is plenty of choice. The wines provided were first class and if they don't appeal to you, they will bring you an alternative.
We saw two excellent shows and watched a film in the theatre and the vocalists and other musicians around the ship were very good and provided easy listening while you relaxed with a snack or a drink by the pool.
Disembarkation was expertly handled. Suitcases were required outside your suite at 11:00pm on the evening before disembarkation. Colour coded luggage tags were provided with the time you should be in the theatre the next morning for your coach to the airport. The port authorities wanted everybody out by 9:00am. Once you've identified your luggage it's put aboard the coach. We were then escorted to Istanbul Airport. All the luggage was scanned while we went through another scanner with our hand luggage. Once reunited with our suitcases, we were escorted to the check-in desks and baggage drop. The only drawback was that we had 2 hours to kill before the desks opened. So we had coffee. We checked the bags in as soon as the desks opened and then spent the next 90 minutes or so before our flight browsing the duty free and having a snack and a drink. Istanbul is a large and virtually new airport with all the amenities and shops you'd expect so it wasn't difficult to make the time pass.
As I said, this was a holiday which ended too soon. Everything went well. We enjoyed it so much we've booked to sail with Regent Seven Seas again this year. Less

Ryan Seacrest looked to the late Dick Clark as a mentor, but Seacrest is no longer interested in purchasing Dick Clark Productions. s_bukley/Shutterstock

Seacrest out!
A consortium lead by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest pulled out of the running to purchase Dick Clark Productions, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Dick Clark Productions produces shows such as the American Music Awards, So You Think You Can Dance, and, of course Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest's close personal relationship with the late Clark put him and equity partners Thomas H Lee Partners and Bain Capital as frontrunners for the purchase, but WSJ reports Seacrest's team withdrew after a round of talks.
But don't cry for Seacrest, he still has plenty on its plate. The mastermind behind such "quality" programming as Keeping Up With the Kardashians and its spawn Kourtney & Kim Take New York and Khloe & Lamar signed a deal with NBCUniversal in April to contribute to the Today Show, election coverage, and other special events.
Sources tell WSJ Dick Clark Productions is expected to sell for a few hundred million dollars.
