something i have been suspecting all along..woman can't help but to buy alot when they shop.
*covers up 6th paragraph*
I believe the desire to shop, in both men and women, and in what areas they choose to spend in is a socialized behavior.
For instance, none of my friends are fond of shopping and neither am I. Purchases worth while to us lie more in the realm of books and art supplies.
My sister on the other hand, loves to shop and is picky about fashion. As are all her friends...
And my brother wears more namebrands than I ever did.
Its all what you're used to...

Program Background and Information
The charge was given to initiate the University Strategic Plan as it relates to our quest for Excellence in Action. One part of this Strategic Plan calls for a more welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for our students, faculty and staff. Dr. Brown with the Division for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has commissioned Inclusive Actions Movement as the way for the university to bring Inclusive Excellence to Kent State University. Inclusive Actions Movement emerged as a result of the University Diversity Action Council's AD HOC Personal Responsibility Task Force that was formed under the leadership of Reverend Ronald Fowler. The task assigned was to develop a statement of personal and collective responsibility to support and participate in activities designed to show our commitment to inclusive excellence. The Inclusive Actions Movement initiative takes the university's commitment to diversity – as articulated in our strategic plan – to a new and innovative level … to all faculty, staff and students of Kent State University!
Inclusive Excellence
Inclusive Excellence is achieved when all individuals on all Kent State campuses feel welcomed, respected, free to express their views, and encouraged to achieve their fullest potential.
Mission Statement
To unite the Greater Kent State Community through personal actions that build relationships and promote acceptance, understanding and mutual respect for one another.

Helpful in reducing litter mess
By Has too many cats
from Houston, texas
I ordered three of these as I have three litter boxes for 5 cats. They catch quite a bit of the litter and it is easy to shake off the captured litter back into the litter box.

I would buy this product again and again
By Humingbird
from Tallahassee,Fl
This mat is great! It catches the litter pieces from my cat's feet. She doesn't mind walking on it at all. But the best thing for me is this: she has arthritis and doesn't always walk as far into the litter box as she should. Therefore, urine will come out of her box sometimes and lands right onto this mat. The mat absorbs it and nothing leaks through to the floor beneath. And it washes and dries just great! I have had it a year and it's still holding up! You can bet I will get a new one if it ever wears out.

Works well - cats approve!!!
By DK the writer
from Somerset County, PA
We have multiple cats (and multiple litter boxes) and like many others, have the kitty litter being 'walked' all over the house. We bought our first one several weeks ago and it works great. I actually sat the biggest of our litter boxes on one corner of it and the cats responded well right away. I wash it each week and it dries fast - and doesn't tear or pull apart. I'm ordering two more of these and have printed out the info for a friend who is having trouble with litter as I did. Great offer - don't hesitate to buy this.
By Mat
from Gridley, CA
I bought this for my daughter's dogs. I couldn't find one advertised in your catalog for dogs. She has water and food bowls for the dogs and when they drink, they slobber all over the bare floor and I thought it would be good and keep the floor dry. But, it isn't big enough. The concept of the Mat is great, according to my daughter. It's in the kitchen of their house.

Mat works well and looks great! Cat seems to love it which is impressive since he is so picky and hates change!
Save The Floor

This has really helped keep the litter off the floor. My cat doesn't mind stepping on it, so the litter on her feet does not get tracked throughout the house.

Hi everyone, trying to get an understanding of wood weight. Have done research on tone but want to get a sense of which wood would be the lightest?
Swamp Ash
thanks so much
Hi everyone, trying to get an understanding of wood weight. Have done research on tone but want to get a sense of which wood would be the lightest?
Swamp Ash
thanks so much
This is a pretty good table
Obeche is about 390kg/m3
Korina/Limba is about 530kg/m3
thanks, will check it out
Weight is determined by the wood's density. It is in the density that wood derives it tone qualities. The exception being acoustic guitar, harp and piano soundboards, (read evergreen spruces) which have a cellular structure and density that is different from other woods. More specific to your question is that relative to guitar woods, bass wood would be the lightest. Bass wood is a hobby grade wood that found great success because it is a renewable wood source and bountiful, and more importantly cheap. Ibanez has done well promoting bass wood guitars because of the profitability in using bass wood. Dont know much about Korina, but the next lightest would be your alder and ash, followed by the mahogany. Keep in mind that geographical location and the environment the tree was grown in plays a part in it's density.
Long long time ago, Cuban Mahogany was the most prestigious for its beauty and consitent density. If it is not extinct, it is darn close. Have not heard about availability of cuban mahogany in decades. Should cuban mahogany ever become available, the age and environment would be my first question to determine it's potential use for musical instruments.
If you google search the pouplar wood name or it's botanical name, you can easily find the average density of the wood. This is your truest way to determine what the weight would be of an equally cut peice of lumber of each tree would be. Density maximizes volume and sustain. Hope I helped.
Justmund put up a great location to see densities while I was typing. This is what you need to reference. Thanks Justmund, that is great.
excellent, appreciate the response & insight
Somehow a basswood PRS just does sound right... they did make those Mira X that were super light though.
The Obeche bodied guitars (very low density) are louder in comparison to the more dense mahogany bodied guitar. There's also anecdotal evidence from some other members than Obeche is louder acoustically than mahogany, and also has more sustain.
Perhaps this is true for solid body guitars?
I don't understand enough about strings vibration/energy to postulate on why this could be true. Perhaps someone with a deeper understand can chime in?
I saw the video and was not going to go there as there are so many variables.. Here is the deal as I opin. The Obeche with the stoptail and rosewood neck was the loudest, (the last guitar played). The rosewood neck is denser (equals more volume and sustain). The other necks were mahogany. The stoptail has more wood than the trem ones, hence more density ( gains more volume and sustain). The player eluded that one would think the trem would have more volume. I dont know why. Less wood, more going on with trems parts, hence more interruption with sound trasfurence. I assume they all had the same gauge strings. Also he was noodling and not doing the same thing with each guitar and his attack was not completely consistent. Overall, far from consistent and far from scientific, which was not his extreme point, but to show the guitars volume ability and somehow went somewhere else it with it. What I get anyway from the video is confirmation of what I posted above. I dont know much, but I feel good about this stuff. Now, for added pleasure, throw a 2011 signature series with the sinker mahogany neck in the mix and it will probably be right there with that obeche rosewood axe.
I find only subtle difference in most tonewoods. I beleive it is there. I just dont know if it is a big a difference as it is made out to be. A higher density is my choice for all guitar necks, acoustic and electric. Higher density for back and sides on acoustic and electric guitar bodies. Just my 1 cent.

Current Planets
4-Oct-2015, 13:21 UT/GMT
|19' 1"
|33' 5"r
|Explanations of the symbols
|Chart of the moment
|The Moon
The Moon's symbolism exactly opposes, complements and balances that of the Sun. The Sun is all spirit, the masculine principle, and the Moon is all soul, the feminine principle. The Sun rules the individual, and the Moon rules the collective, crowds, and groups of people generally. With no light of its own, the Moon simply reflects the light of the Sun. In this sense, the Sun is the active, or Yang principle, and the Moon is the passive, or Yin principle. As the Earth's satellite, the monthly cycle of the Moon is intimately connected to the tides, the growth cycle of plants and to all biological and emotional rhythms. At the full Moon emotions are heightened, we dream more, consume more alcohol, take more drugs, and even bleed more freely.
Audience: I work as a midwife, and things get very interesting around the time of the full Moon! We always have higher rates of caesarean sections and bleeding, and we always have an extra midwife on duty at the full Moon.
Clare: That's actually a deliberate policy?
Audience: Yes, and although I don't know of any research to support this, we have our own thesis.
Clare: I have also heard that more police are put on duty at these times, because there are more crimes, more violence and emotional explosiveness. So we can say that there are some very obvious connections between the lunar cycle and our collective emotional behaviour. This doesn't seem to be something we can control; we are caught up in it and affected by it.
Physically, the Moon rules the fluids in the body and the lymphatic system, as well as all the body's containers, such as the stomach, the womb, the bladder and the breasts. The Moon rules food, and the stomach and the breasts are connected with being fed and with feeding, the taking in and the giving out of nourishment. Looking at the list of planetary correspondences, the Moon is silver where the Sun is gold. The Moon rules watery fruits and vegetables which are round and pale, such as the cauliflower. It rules nocturnal creatures, whereas the Sun rules diurnal creatures. When it comes to people and professions, the Moon rules women generally, and anyone involved in the caring professions: cooks, caterers, hoteliers, housewives, midwives, nurses as well as fishermen and other professions connected with the sea. The Moon also rules historians and genealogists because it is concerned with the past, with history, origins and ancestors. In the mundane world it rules children's homes, old people's homes, boats and ports.
Moon myths are goddess myths in all their diversity. Unlike the masculine, which is single, clear and straightforward, the feminine, lunar principle is multiple, complex and changeable, like the changing phases of the Moon itself. The many triple goddess myths in our Western tradition describe the lunar cycle and the three faces, or ages, of the feminine. From the three Fates who spin the web of life, the three Graiai and the three Gorgons in the Perseus myth, to the three Marys in the Old Testament and the three witches in Macbeth, threeness is so embedded in the mythology of the feminine that even today people tend to react with some trepidation to the sight of three women together.
The triple goddess myths also reflect the phases of the Moon. The young Moon in its waxing phase is represented by the huntress Artemis or Diana, the virgin goddess of the forests, elusive, mysterious and fiercely independent, guardian of children and childbirth. The earth goddess Demeter or Hera represents the mature, full Moon phase of woman as mother, provider and carer. This is the socially sanctioned face of the feminine, fertile and nurturing. The waning, third phase of the Moon is represented by Hecate, the wise woman or crone, women past child-bearing age. Eventually the Moon disappears altogether into the darkest and most terrifying phase of its cycle, personified by the goddesses who rule over life and death itself, such as Lilith, destructive and vengeful, or Persephone, who holds the keys to the gates of the underworld and acts as guide to the souls of the dead.
Audience: You said there were three phases of the Moon, but aren't there actually four?
Clare: Yes, you are right. The fourth phase is actually the 'no Moon' phase, which is sometimes called the dark or black Moon phase. It occurs around the time of the new Moon, and describes the fearful and terrifying face of the feminine. The black Moon phase is devouring and malevolent, ruling nightmares and black magic. It explains the collective fear of the feminine which has led to thousands of 'witches' being drowned or burned at the stake. So you can see that the lunar symbol is full of paradox and that's as it should be because it reflects the nature of the feminine.
The alchemical Moon, called Luna, from Chymica vannus (1666)
by Joannes de Monte-Snyders. Luna in alchemical symbolism is many things, but most importantly she is the metal Mercury in female form, representing the volatile primal substance which conceals the secrets of nature.
Psychologically the Moon rules our moods, which tend to have a life of their own. They are changeable. Moods are stronger at night; we are generally much more suggestible, much more intuitive at night. Night is mysterious and fearful. Most of us will have had the experience of waking up in the middle of the night feeling fearful, overwhelmed and confused, and it is not until the light returns at dawn that things become clear again and straightforward. This would be an example of experiencing the difference between the opposing but balancing lunar and solar principles.
Astrologically, the Moon rules the past, our childhood and our basic instinctual needs and habits. The Moon describes what we need in order to feel safe and nurtured and protected. The Moon in a chart describes how we experienced our mother, how we were nurtured, cared for and fed. And of course there is a very strong connection between food and mood. It is not unusual to hear someone say: 'I was so angry/upset/miserable/lonely that I went to the fridge and ate everything in it.' There is a strong lunar connection to eating disorders, which have to do with not having our needs fulfilled, feeling emotionally starved and vulnerable. These kinds of issues are very complex because they operate from the instinctual depths which drive us.
A distorted Moon or lunar principle can manifest in childish demands for attention or self-destructive regressive tendencies and habits; or in a clinging over-dependence, an overwhelming need to live through or for others, and the activation of the 'psychic vampire' which leaves everyone with whom the individual comes into contact feeling drained and exhausted. Eventually, of course, every child needs to learn to feed itself, and we need to learn to feed and nurture our own Moon. Only then can we be full enough to provide emotional support for others. Although this is a very simple point, it is not uncommon for us to starve ourselves emotionally in one way or another, with the result that we become emotionally demanding, self pitying and resentful. But the Moon's placement in our birth charts indicates how we can and must learn to nurture ourselves in order restore our innate receptivity, responsiveness and sensitivity to ourselves and to others and find a loving and compassionate reconnection to our instinctual natures and to our own souls. What it is that makes us feel nurtured and safe will depend entirely on the sign in which the Moon falls, and will be very different for different people.
Audience: If you follow astrology and you know that the full Moon is going to be particularly relevant to your own chart, is there anything you can do to prepare for it?
Clare: Working psychologically, if we sense that an impending full Moon is likely to bring our personal and emotional issues to a head, we could decide to 'go with the tide' and find a way in which the emotional heights can be experienced positively. How we do this would depend on our own personal Moon placement, but it might be appropriate to attend a dramatic and emotional opera or play or to take a day off work and visit the seaside, or go for a long walk or have a massage. Using the lunar energy in this way might mean that we can avoid a messy and distressing argument at home, or a crisis at work which suddenly seems to erupt for no reason.
Audience: Can I just ask you something which I have never understood? If your Sun is in Cancer, then that means you are ruled by the Moon, and everything about the Moon is the opposite of the Sun. I don't understand.
Clare: It is helpful to take this slowly, because the planet tells us 'what' and the sign tells us 'how'. So the Sun describes our personal identity, and because this is in the sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon, we know that your personal identity will be expressed in lunar ways, perhaps by caring for others, or nurturing children, or working in a kindergarten, or cooking or running a hotel or in any area ruled by the Moon.
Audience: Yes, I can understand that. But if you have four planets in Leo and nothing else in Cancer, would you still be a lunar type because the Sun is in Cancer?
Clare: Well, you would say the core centre of your being is lunar and, even though that may not become the centre of your consciousness for years and years while you are off living the other signs because you have many planets in other signs, nevertheless at the end of the day, when you come home to yourself and to the centre of your unique personal solar identity, this will be lunar.
Audience: My Sun is at 0º 04' minutes of Leo. It seems as if I am absolutely split between the two signs of Cancer and Leo.
Clare: Not really. Your Sun is in Leo. It has finished with Cancer and moved into Leo. As a matter of interest, was your birth a natural one?
Audience: I think so. I know it took a long time.
Clare: I wonder what you were waiting for?
Audience: Leo?
Clare: Yes, I think this often happens. You were waiting to be a Leo.
Audience: I'm still waiting!

While the rest of the counties secondary schools are winding down their basketball season, by either handing in their uniforms or by going off to state, the East Carbon boys team is still in the thick of Region 18 play. That's because in the 1A ranks, state crossover games for the boys teams don't begin until the same weekend the 3A girls are holding their state tournament at the E Center in West Valley.
In the last two weeks the Vikings have been playing hard but their record has not improved. On Feb. 2 they played 8-1 West Desert and were blasted by the Hawks, 65-24. Then they traveled to Tintic last week and lost 70-56. On Tuesday night they played Dugway and took one of their worst losses of the season going down 92-36.
In all three games the team began a weak initial quarter. The most points the team scored in the first period in any game was four points.
In the West Desert game they didn't get above single digits in any quarter, while they played much better against Tintic putting up very respectable figures 18, 15 and 20 points for the second, third and fourth quarters respectively.
In the Dugway game they managed to put up 21 points in the second period but then sank again to only scoring 11 points in the entire second half.
The leading scorer for the team continues to be Kyle Leonard who topped everyone in all three games going for 17 against West Desert, 20 at Tintic and 15 in Dugway.
The teams only remaining home game is on Feb. 23 against Meridian at 6 p.m.

CW Webcast: Software Can Aid in Emissions Reporting
July 2, 2009 | Vincent Valk
Software solutions, such as SAP's greenhouse emissions management tool, can aid in the complex task of emissions reporting, according to speakers at CW's recent webcast, Mananging Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Nova Chemicals achieved a $2 million return on the investment within the first two years of using SAP's software tool, says Mark Lesky, Nova's director of responsible care. Emission reporting is a complex task made more difficult by increasingly stringent and ever-changing regulation, says John Wheeler, former chief information officer for Nova. As such, when...

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - What you don't know could hurt your children. Right now, people in West Michigan are buying Kratom, and it's something you need to talk to your kids about.
Soothing and stimulating; Kratom users have described their experience as a seductive, legal high, and sellers say it is safe. You may not recognize the drug name. It could come in the form of a small package of crushed leafs, a pill your son or daughter left lying around, or a funny tea your friend handed you to drink.
What is it? It is on the Drug Enforcement Administration's "concern list."
"It was just kind of circumstance that you came in with your story... and all of a sudden, I get the bulletin that is dealing with it in Florida," Lt. Mike Anderson of the Michigan State Police Narcotics Team told WZZM 13 when we questioned him about Kratom.
"Usually you just put it in a capsule," said a user from Wyoming, who wanted to stay anonymous. He used it to treat his pain after a spinal surgery. "I'd absolutely recommend it... It blocks the pain, but you don't feel like what you feel with Vicodin."
No buzz, he says. No harm, no high, no hallucinations.
That's not quite the way it was described when WZZM 13's Hannah Saunders went undercover to a few Grand Rapids "head shops." They sold her enhanced Kratom pills and liquid extracts, saying it would act like opium and Vicodin. The sellers described the products as "the next big thing." It's a buzz some people are taking a step further, by mixing it with alcohol.
We had the products we bought tested at the Michigan State Police Narcotics lab. The results show that what we bought contained added chemicals, compared to the plain leaf our anonymous user was taking.
So where does Kratom come from? The only place it grows naturally is in southeast Asia. Some leafs are sold as is, some are shipped to processing plants in the United States, where chemists make resins, powders, liquids and pills. Then it is shipped here to West Michigan.
"We're always going to have illegal drugs here. We're always going to have that underground selling terrible things," said State Senator Rick Jones, (D) Grand Ledge, a watchdog for new concoctions like this. "You know, I haven't heard of that one (Kratom) yet."
Last year, he authored the so called "K2 bill," which is now law. That law allows the Department of Community Health to declare a substance illegal if it is found to be dangerous.
"These illegal drug makers don't care about health. They only care about making money," continued Jones. In the past, the process to ban a drug could have taken a year or more.
So right now, Kratom is not illegal in Michigan, but if you see a friend with it, or maybe your child has left it lying around, you should start asking questions.

Korean War Resources @ the Tennessee State Library and Archives
At the end of the Second World War, Korea, which had been ruled by Japan since 1910, was divided between the United States and Soviet Russia along the 38th Parallel. In 1948 the North established a Communist government, and tensions on the peninsula escalated, resulting in minor armed engagements along the border. Although negotia-tions for reunification were ongoing, war broke out on June 25, 1950, when North Ko-rean forces invaded the South. To repel the attack, the United States and ten countries representing the United Nations rushed to the aid of the South Korean forces, compris-ing the first world army under the unified command of General Douglas MacArthur. By early September, the North Koreans had captured the South Korean capital of Seoul, and had pushed the allies back to a defensive perimeter around the port of Pusan.
On September 15, after a build-up of American and allied forces, General MacArthur executed a counter-attack against the North with an amphibious landing on the west coast at Inchon Harbor near Seoul. At the same time the troops in the Pusan rectangle moved north and South Korean troops landed on the east coast and marched inland. The surprise attack so devastated the enemy that their resistance collapsed and their armies fled. Seoul was recaptured on the 26th and South Korean and UN troops not only pushed the Communists back across the 38th Parallel, but moved rapidly forward captur-ing the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, and by late October they had advanced deep into the North.
The allied thrust, however, occasioned the Chinese Communists to come to the aid of the North Koreans. Despite an offensive by the American Eighth Army on November 24, by the end of 1950 the overwhelming Chinese forces had driven the allies back to a defensive position between Seoul and the 38th Parallel. Fierce fighting characterized the winter and spring of 1951, and although the allied forces eventually gained the upper hand, by the first anniversary of the war the conflict had become a stalemate.
One of the most controversial incidents of the war was President Truman's firing of General MacArthur. In an effort to bring the Korean conflict to a swift end, MacArthur favored an all-out war with Communist China. Truman believed that such a course would bring the Soviets into the war on the side of the Chinese, precipitating a Third World War, and rejected MacArthur's plan. MacArthur continued to publicly disagree with Truman's goal of fighting a limited war, and on April 11, 1951, he was relieved and was replaced by General Matthew Ridgway as commander of all UN forces.
Armistice discussions began in July at Panmunjom although intermittent fighting continued to drag on for another two years. The bloody conflict came to an end on June 27, 1953, when a truce was finally signed. It is estimated that 10,500 Tennesseans served in the Korean War.

Gunmen believed to be part of Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamic terrorist group attacked a government boarding school in northern Nigeria July 6, killing an estimated 42 people, mostly students, witnesses said. The attack appears to be the latest assault in the Islamist group's self-declared war against Western values — a terrorist campaign that has destabilized the largely Muslim northern portion of the nation. Since the Nigerian military instituted a crackdown earlier this year on Boko Haram, the group — whose name translates roughly "Western education is sin" — has taken to targeting mostly defenseless schools throughout the north, particularly in Nigeria's Yobe state, where the latest incident occurred.
In the latest attack, AFP News quoted Haliru Aliyu, a spokesman for General Hospital in the city of Potiskum, as saying that the Islamist attackers entered the government boarding school early in the morning, rounded up sleeping staff and students into a dormitory building, and then threw in grenades and opened fire. "We received 42 dead bodies of students and other staff of Government Secondary School in Mamudo last night," Aliuyu told AFP. "Some of them had gunshot wounds," he added, but many were also burned, with reports that the attackers doused the building with fuel prior to the armed assault.
Boko Haram has claimed to be to blame for killing hundreds of students in attacks on schools in northern Nigeria in the past several months. According to news reports, on June 17 members of the terrorist group shot nine students dead as they were taking an exam in a private school in Maiduguri, considered one of the group's strongholds. The day before, gunmen fired on a secondary school in Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, killing seven students and two teachers.
And on July 4, reported the Associated Press, Boko Haram gunmen went to the home of a primary school headmaster in a town 100 miles from Maiduguri, a city held by Boko Haram, and gunned down the man and his entire family.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Those who believe that adversity leads opportunity got some validation Tuesday, when life-long Carbon County educator Doug Hintze used rented clubs and borrowed tees to shoot a personal low score and ring up his first hole-in-one at the Carbon Golf Course.
The saga which culminated with a round of celebratory drinks at the course, began when Hintze arrived to play with those affectionately known as the Tuesday Senior FOG. The Carbon course has a long history of senior golf which now includes about 70 of the area's golden golfers who play Chicago once a week as soon as the course has shaken off its winter frost. Chicago is a points game which allows players of any skill level to compete equally.
"I pulled up, got in the trunk and my clubs weren't there," said Hintze, who lives in East Carbon, about 45 minutes from the course. "I was a little upset about that because I knew there wasn't much I could do to get them."
Hintze, who finished his career as the Carbon District Associate Superintendent, is known as a very organized individual, making the forgotten clubs good for a laugh for more than 60 of his closest friends. The former East Carbon and Carbon High Principal began golfing in earnest about eight years ago when he retired. He has been a fixture with the seniors ever since.
"He's funny," said Price Police Capt. Bill Barnes, who helps Hintze organize Tuesday's play and keep records. "He's one of those guys that has to have the chairs lined up just right. So it was great to give him a bad time about forgetting."
After a last-ditch effort to get his own clubs headed to the course failed, Hintze accepted his fate with a rental set and set out for the round of his life.
"I borrowed some tees, bought some balls and got on with it, he said. "Right off the bat, things went well."
Hintze started on the back side with a couple of pars and a bogey before dropping an ace on Carbon's short 13th Hole.
"I really never thought I was going have a hole-in-one," said Hintze. "But the whole round was like that. It was fun. Everything just fell into place."
Hintze went on to best his career low 77 by two strokes, recording a 75 and his first ace on the same day.
"We were joking that TK (Club pro Tom King) would sell him that set for $125 when the round started," laughed Barnes. "When he finished playing, the price had climbed to $1,000."
As it happens, Hintze's ace was not the only hole-in-one shot Tuesday morning, as Gary Denhalter dropped his own ace on #6, meaning that two rounds were enjoyed by the seniors after FOG play concluded.
"He was pretty excited when he called me after the round," said Hintze's wife Tawnie. "I bet he's still smiling."

Today the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the release of the Oil Shale Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) Environmental Assessment (EA) for a 30-day public comment period, which closes on October 18, 2006.
This preliminary EA analyzes Oil Shale Exploration Company's (OSEC) proposed project to conduct RD&D operations at the site of the former White River Shale Oil Company's mine site. The 160-acre project area is approximately four miles south of Bonanza, within Uintah County on public lands administered by BLM's Vernal Field Office.
This RD&D project is part of the federal government's efforts to initiate a phased approach to oil shale development. This effort would increase the knowledge regarding the viability of innovative technologies for oil shale development on a commercial scale on federal lands. The phased approach would also allow environmental affects to be carefully tested and assessed in a controlled setting, prior to determining if commercial operations should be authorized.
The proposal would have three phases of demonstration and development. Phase I would involve the off location testing of surface stockpiles of oil shale from the site. Phase II would involve the on-site small scale processing of oil shale stockpiles and testing the former White River Mine for potential reentry. Phase III would involve larger scale oil shale process mining and on location disposal of spent shale.
The processing of the oil shale involves it being heated to be converted into a petroleum product. This is also known as "retort" technology that involves mining rock and heating it above ground as the former White River Oil Shale Company proposed when they had oil shale leases in the same location in the 1970s and 80s.
The EA may be reviewed online at: http://www.blm.gov/utah/vernal.nepa.html. Hardcopy and CD versions are available at the BLM Vernal Field Office. The BLM recommends submitting comments by mail to ensure your suggestions are received. Only comments that are postmarked or otherwise received on or before October 18, 2006, will be considered. Comments may be submitted in writing to: Attn: Stephanie Howard, Bureau of Land Management, Vernal Field Office, 170 South 500 East, Vernal, UT 84078. Comments may also be faxed to (435) 781-4410 or emailed to email@example.com.
To maximize the value of your comments, the BLM suggests they be as specific as possible and cite suggested changes, sources, or methodologies used in the EA. The BLM will compile and incorporate public comments into the final EA.
Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents will be available for public review at the BLM Vernal Field Office and will be subject to disclosures under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). They may be published as part of the NEPA document and other related documents. Individual respondents may request confidentiality. If you wish to withhold your name or street address from public review and disclosure under FOIA, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your written comment. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law. All submissions from organizations or businesses will be made available for public inspection in their entirety.
The RD&D leasing program is a separate initiative from the commercial oil shale leasing program that is being examined through a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). To the extent possible, information available from the RD&D leasing program will be incorporated into the PEIS. The BLM's RD&D leasing program and the PEIS are being developed as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

One need not be a scientist to confirm the fact of global warming over the past century. All one must do is simply ascertain accurate temperature readings from one thousand points around the globe today and then compare these readings with precise temperature measurements reported from the vary same locations, on the very same day, at the very same hour in the year 1907.
It's that simple.

> "...no data pertaining to the strength of the axe has been published. <snip> ... if ULA chooses to sell the axe then they are under a moral obligation to provide pertinent strength data."> You hit the nail on the head. I could not have said it better!Unfortunately, both of you got it completely wrong. ULA are NOT selling an Ice Axe; they are selling a Potty Trowel. Read the published company description.OK, you might want to call it something else (like an ice axe), but this does NOT mean the company has to accept your definition. They don't. They sell it a as Potty Trowel.Now you might say I am being pedantic. You would be right. But the (outrageous) Tort Laws in America are also pedantic. You are free to use the Potty Trowel (or any other item) for any other activity not covered by the company description you want, but it is at YOUR responsibility. If they started publishing ANY ice-axe-specific strength details they could be accused of trying to evade liability. So they don't (and can't) publish anything.
If you cant (or are affraid) of using the helix for so many reasons, or on marginal trips where you likely wount need an axe why even bother? how about a BD Whippit (Steel head)
For a lot less dough, you can get the B-rated CAMP XLA 210 ice axe (7.4 oz). Less than 3 oz more in weight, and you're getting a tool from a company that's been providing mountaineering tools since the 19th century. There are times when counting ounces seems like an unhealthy obsession.
I have seriously self arrested with my Grivel Nepal Light (aluminum) a number of times. I love that thing. Though nothing compares to cutting steps with the HEFT of a standard steel axe, but isn't this backpackingLIGHT, right? Not all CarbonFiber is the same. Previous poster noted that Carbon Fiber breakage causes sharp slivers. I have broken C.F. shafts and have experienced a clean break, no splinters or slivers. An Ice Axe, whether of "Approved" design or not, will provide you, the solo climber/trekker with the necessary security should conditions warrant it's use, I'm just saying that it is more than a self-arrest tool. The issue becomes more questionable should you need the axe for partner belays or rescue. Rule # 19: Everything is a Compromise.theThriftstoreMountaineer

I recently bought the shortest ULA Helix, the 55 cm. I took it up to a fairly steep-yet-safe slope and threw myself down the slope a couple of times to test my ability to self-arrest.Due to the snow conditions, even on a steep slope I wasn't able to build up a lot of speed/momentum, but I satisfied myself that it would stop me just fine. I'm used to a 75 cm axe that's a pound heavier, but I'm convinced that the 55 cm Helix will dig in fine.I'm a little less confident about plunging the carbon fiber shaft spike into the snow to help when carrying this in my uphill hand. I think I'll do it when snow conditions are not too soft to make this less useful and not so hard as to risk the c.f. spike. A short axe like this definitely isn't a "walking stick" for me, but that's not what I bought it for.It cut steps just fine for me too, at least when traversing uphill; downhill is more of a challenge with a shorter axe.The lightness of the head means I change my technique somewhat to cut steps, it's a little slower process, but it worked fine.I'm sold on this. I appreciate the previous posters idea of pipe insulation to protect the shaft, I'll have to try that. Similarly, it might be nice to have a U.L. way to protect my delicate pack and other U.L. materials from the pick and adze ... I've not tried this yet, but a friend suggested making a custom light rubberized cover using plastic dip, something like: http://www.plastidip.com/consumer/index.htmlIt says you can "apply as many coats as needed", so I figured I might try applying a lot of them to end up with a sufficiently thick piece covering just the sharp bits, maybe one for adze and one for pick. I'm guessing that a good strategy could be to coat the metal with oil and then something like wax paper or something and dip that, to have some hope of getting the result to come off. Once I have custom pieces that I can get on and off, poke little holes and attach fishing wire or something to hold them together, or maybe something thin and stretchy. Clever guy, my friend, or at least if this turns out to work.Alternatively, what about just a simple piece of vinyl tubing about 3" long? I would think if you bought the right tubing you could jam it on the pick and keep a spare or two in case of loss. Slice another tube open longitudinally and maybe it would stay on the adze ... ?If anyone has any experience to share in a lightweight way to cover the pointy bits of a helix axe, I'd appreciate hearing about it. To include, perhaps, "Brian, stop being paranoid, the pick and adze are unlikely to cut your delicate U.L. gear" ! Brian Lewis
You cheer me up, since I am taking a Helix to the Alps for our 4 months walking trip!@> Alternatively, what about just a simple piece of vinyl tubing about 3" long? I would think if you bought the right tubing you could jam it on the pick and keep a spare or two in case of loss. Slice another tube open longitudinally and maybe it would stay on the adze ... ?Been there, done just that, with old steel razor-sharp Stubais. Works wonderfully. Tie the two bits together with some bungee cord to keep them both on.Cheers
Re: "I'm a little less confident about plunging the carbon fiber shaft spike into the snow to help when carrying this in my uphill hand." I tried a little of this self-belay technique when crossing a couple of snow tongues that had covered the trail, leaving slippery footing over a bit of a drop-off. It worked better than having nothing at all. The hollow shaft does produce little ice cores. I should probably block the hole in the spike with some sort of glue. It took several slams into the snow to get it in far enough to feel solid enough to hold me if my feet slipped out from under me. I also chopped a few steps, and that also worked better than nothing at all.
You can cover the pointy bits of an ice axe with a little tape. Not so good for a lot of "back-and-forth," but fine if you need to protect the inside of your pack until the axe is first used and then stow the axe on the outside of the pack.
I really enjoy discussions like this, because there are so many informed and intelligent replies, which can still differ from each other. Really makes me think. I do not have much experience on snow and ice, so take my comments with a grain of salt. And I realize no one is suggesting using the Helix for technical terrain..Ben: the Grivel Monster is a tech tool not considered to be in the safety chain, so it does not need to be certified.Peter: I like your quote; Im going to use that.. and yes, first rule of an ice axe fight is bring an ice axe (not a potty trowel).Brian: try a section of garden hose, it works for my ice tools. For the adze I use a piece of duct tape; and stick it on the shaft after I draw the axe. I also got a very light nylon cover which fits my axe; see picture below.To paraphrase Chouinard, you don't carry an axe because of the chances (probability) of falling, you use one because of the consequences. That really made sense to me, so I carry a rated axe. Since self-belay is far more common than self-arrest, I chose a long-ish shaft by modern standards. And in self-arrest I want that pick to bite even after a day of mixed use on rock, so I choose steel and sharpened it well.For myself, I chose the BlackDiamond Raven pro, 'B', 65cm. For my hiking partner who is half my weight and needed a lighter, rated axe, the Camp XLA 210, 'B', 60cm. If I thought the consequences of a fall were not serious, I would carry the lighter Camp. and just rope up my partner. (You must consider the chances of self-injury vs. the chance of needing the axe. One notable case from ANAM involved the shaft going through a ladies neck during a tumble.) I would like to see BPL acquire a Helix and test it to failure, to see how close it comes to the UIAA standards. By the way, there are here and make interesting reading.http://www.uiaa.ch/?c=188The tests for a B axe are surprisingly weak; and no fatique testing at all!Brian, here`s the pic of the head cover. I carry the axe inside the pack because I was unable to reach it with one hand when I am sliding and it is secured on the gear loops.

A follow-up to my earlier comment about covering the pick and adze of the Helix in a pretty U.L. manner --- for carrying the axe on a delicate backpack, etc.I wrote previously: "a friend suggested making a custom light rubberized cover using plastic dip, something like: http://www.plastidip.com/consumer/index.htmlIt says you can "apply as many coats as needed", so I figured I might try applying a lot of them to end up with a sufficiently thick piece covering just the sharp bits, maybe one for adze and one for pick. I'm guessing that a good strategy could be to coat the metal with oil and then something like wax paper or something and dip that, to have some hope of getting the result to come off."I tried the above and it worked great. I wrapped the pick and adze with seran wrap and put I think a total of six coats of the plastidip stuff on it, waiting a half hour or more between coats. After sufficiently dry, I pulled these covers off, pulled out most of the seran wrap, trimmed teh edges with scissors, and I've got quite a nice set of covers; the two of them together weigh 6 grams, or 0.2 oz. They'll stay on by themselves, particularly the one over the adze which requires a little stretching to get it on and off each time.I think I'll use this stuff on my snow/sand stake too, a little to permanently stay on the top part and a removeable cover for the part designed to go into the ground. I want to carry this ready to hand as a cat hole digger (for when I'm not carrying the helix) and of course to use as a tent stake.
I just tried out Peter King's excellent suggestion for using pipe insulation to protect the c.f. shaft.The c.f. shaft is pretty much exactly 3/4" in diameter, so my natural thought was to get pipe insulation that's made for 3/4" pipe. I fortunately thought to measure at the hardware store, and found that the pipe insulation intended for 3/4" pipe has an inner diameter (hole) of more like 7/8". I.e., it's apparantly intended to fit loose. The stuff marked as being for 1/2" pipe has inner diameter of about 5/8". What I want is somewhere in the middle of those two.I got the smaller (nominal 1/2") stuff, and I'm glad I did. It fits on tight so while I'll probably throw a rubber band around it, I hardly even need that to hold it on. There's a gap of maybe just over 1/4" running lengthwise where the insulation doesn't join, but I don't think that compromises the protection much, and apart from staying on better this should be slightly lighter.For my 55 cm helix, I cut a piece 20.75" long, and it (the pipe insulation) weighs 10 grams, 0.4 oz. Worth it.
Thanks to all for the comments and feedback. I finally have a spare Helix for testing, and some initial field test results:Tests done on firm snow (running shoes could barely kick steps), approximately 40 degree slope (sorry, forgot to take clinometer), lightweight tester (<<60kg), 65cm helix.8 arrests, 2 in each direction (face up/down, feet up/down).10 falls on self belay (shaft plunged above, feet kicked out).5 arrests during fast sitting glissades.5 arrests during standing glissades, plunging the shaft while falling headfirst.Result: no axe failure, so saved it for lab(garage) testing when time permits.Thanks for the UIAA-152 reference, Brett. The pictures will suffice to approximate the tests, but does anyone have an electronic copy of EN-13089 to get more details?Pete

I hope you had a safe run-out for your self arrest tests 8-O ! Thanks for being the lab rat---you are performing a true service for the SUL community and ULA should give you a lifetime discount and BPL, a community service badge of honor.

Thanks, Kevin. The only run-out problem was energy.
Hi Peter> I finally have a spare Helix for testing, and some initial field test results:Very reassuring! Thank you.You didn't manage to get any pictures...?
No pictures of the arrests since I was alone, but here are a few shots from the trip (nothing very remarkable).URL: (html to make link didn't work)http://email@example.com/albums

The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.
- St. Louis is now 4-0-1 under
new Coach Ken Hitchcock. The Blues haven't
allowed a goal in the second or third period since Hitchcock took control. All five of those games were played at home,
but perhaps a coaching change was all the Blues needed. Hitchcock has a goaltending controversy on
his hands, though. Brian Elliott has
been sensational this season, but the expected starter, Jaroslav Halak, has
rebounded after a slow start and has allowed just
five goals in his last four games.
- Pekka Rinne made 38 saves as Nashville beat Toronto
4-1. Martin Erat scored twice and Sergei
Kostitsyn added three assists. The Maple
Leafs have lost five out of six. Nashville's Brian McGrattan and Toronto's Jay
Rosehill engaged
in the fight of the year during the contest. Nashville forward Craig Smith blew
an opportunity for an empty net goal at the end of the game.
- Boston beat Columbus in a shootout and has now matched the
Rangers with a seven-game winning streak.
The 2-1 shootout loss marked the 13th straight loss on home
ice for the Blue Jackets.
- Rookie Matt Read scored with 18.6 seconds left to propel
Philadelphia to a 2-1 win over Phoenix. Ilya Bryzgalov shined in making 30 saves against his old team. Jaromir Jagr suffered a groin injury during
the victory.
- Detroit recalled
prized prospect Brendan Smith in time for last night's game against San
Jose. Smith was a minus-2 in 19:18 in
the Red Wings' 5-1 loss. San Jose
defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic registered a goal and three assists and was a
plus-4 in the victory. Pavel Datsyuk says he's been "awful"
this season.
- The New York Islanders, who had lost 10 of their last 11,
snapped a four-game losing streak with last night's 4-3 win over Montreal. Jay Pandolfo scored
the 100th goal of his career in the victory.
- Los Angeles blew a two-goal lead in the final minutes but
held on to beat the floundering Ducks 5-3.
Anaheim has lost 12 of its last 14 games. Mike Richards scored twice for the Kings.
- Tampa Bay won its sixth consecutive game on home ice over
Pittsburgh 4-1. Vincent Lecavalier scored twice for the Lightning.
- Niklas Backstrom shutout the Colorado Avalanche with 27
saves. Minnesota has won eight of its
last 10.
- Evander Kane scored twice to help Winnipeg upset Washington
- Rumors flew Thursday evening that Wayne Gretzky had been approached
by MLSE to become a purchasing partner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but
Gretzky's agent denied
the report.
- There were also plenty of rumors last night that Columbus
forward Jeff Carter had requested a trade.
Carter has missed most of the season with a fractured foot but by all
accounts he was devastated when the Flyers sent him to the Blue Jackets last
spring. Columbus's early struggles can't
be making things easier and while it's
doubtful that Carter formally requested a trade, he'd surely love to find a
new home.
- Contract negotiations between Ryan Suter and Nashville are
progressing and Suter confidently stated "it's
going to get done."
- Retired forward Mark Recchi had no love lost for Vancouver
when his Bruins played them in the Stanley Cup Finals last spring. "[In] 22 years they are the most arrogant
team I played against and the most hated team I've ever played against," Recchi
- The Quebec government declined
to press criminal charges against Zdeno Chara for his hit on Max Pacioretty
last spring.
- Chicago demoted former first-round pick Rotislav Olesz to the

tonight. No particularly great
matchups, but keep an eye on Buffalo @ Carolina. If the Hurricanes lose, the team may make a

Nisheal Watson moves the ball into Miner territory on Thursday. She scored the first Dino goal since game one against one of the top teams in 3A.
The Lady Dino soccer team weathered through the toughest two teams they have in region play last week. The scores were lopsided, but Carbon had a morale victory by scoring a goal against one of the most powerful defenses in 3A action. Wasatch beat them on Tuesday 10-0. Park City was the 14-1 victor on Thursday.

In May, on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, the Zions Bank Wasatch Front Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4 percent compared to the national increase of 0.1 percent (seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent decrease), as reflected in the Zions Bank and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Indices reported last week.
The Wasatch Front CPI has increased by 2.3 percent over the last 12 months, slightly above the national CPI's rate of 2.0 percent over the same period.
In an interview on June 8, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said, "My best guess is that we'll have a continued recovery, but it won't feel terrific."
He indicated that the unemployment rate could be near double digits for some time and "a lot of people will be under financial stress." Bernanke reaffirmed that the U.S. should work to reduce the deficit, pointing to the impact of the European debt crisis on our own stock market. Additionally, forecasters have lowered predictions on US inflation for the next six months from 2.2 percent to 1.8 percent.
National and Wasatch Front prices diverged in May primarily because gasoline prices remained high in Utah. In addition to mostly constant May gasoline prices in Utah, a rise in vehicle maintenance, car insurance costs, as well as an increase in airfare prices also resulted in a 2.0 percent increase in total May transportation costs.
While the massive Gulf oil spill will likely not significantly impact Utah gasoline prices, the price of seafood, particularly shrimp, oysters and crayfish, will increase in some grocery stores and restaurants along the Wasatch Front. Locally, the Utah oil leak associated with the Chevron refining plant that took place in late June is also not expected to significantly impact gasoline prices.
Aside from the 2.0 percent increase in the cost of transportation, the Wasatch Front CPI saw minimal changes in all of the major expenditure categories in the month of May.
Housing and clothing prices both increased by 0.3 percent in May. Recreation prices increased slightly more at 0.7 percent. Prices of food at home decreased by 0.5 percent due to a fall in the price of beef, and education and communication prices decreased by 0.9 percent due to a fall in the price of personal computers. Medical care, other goods and food away costs all remained stable in the month of May.
"Businesses and individuals can learn from trends we see in the consumer price index," said Zions Bank President and CEO Scott Anderson. "Federal Reserve policy, which impacts mortgage rates as well as personal and auto loans, is directly related to increases and decreases in inflation. Utah unemployment is still elevated and consumers are holding back, even though they are testing the waters. All of these factors explain Utah's slow but steady inflation growth."
Trends along the Wasatch Front usually apply to most other areas of the state as well, with one of the exceptions being that rural areas often have higher prices for gasoline and diesel fuel.

|Incubator, Brewery Draws Crowd, Controversy
|Written by Annie Rutenberg
|Tuesday, 05 March 2013 10:43
The meeting site of the Avery Commission last night was filled with a standing room only crowd to voice their opinion on the discussion concerning use of incubator. A major issue was a letter of intent to open a Brewery in the Old Banner Elk School, incubator program, with Commissioner
Glenn Johnson, a strong supporter of the incubator and Economic Development in Avery County, speaking at length about the benefits of an incubator program and the need to provide jobs for young people. Martha Hicks stated the difficulty of separating County government from personal beliefs while doing what the people in Avery County want. Kenny Poteat, who has served as a Commissioner for 20 years and feels his time as a public servant could be coming to an end, stated that this was one of the biggest issues ever faced. Phyllis Forbes commented on the incubator as a spark to economic growth and that the decision to go forward with the incubator was made in good faith with the people of Avery County in mind. But Commissioner Reo Griffith compiled a timeline of events beginning with the introduction of the incubator on September 15th, 2011, stating he ran for County Commissioner "as a fiscal conservative Republican candidate." He reflected back to discussions and concerns that there is no written material and that $153,942 has been budgeted for Economic Development with $75,000 been used for AC PRIDE. Rick Owen stated at a prior meeting that no Board has yet been appointed. As of today Reo Griffith stated there is still no Board and said that, so far $140,000 has been spent on a project that may never exist. He stated that, "in the past 536 days since its introduction, no permits have been issued, Avery County has not prepared leases, there are no legally binding guarantees and we don't know the cost, impact, income, economic benefit that the incubator will provide to Avery County.

Rated 5 out of 5 by goodjack Twill Cargo Shorts These are the best-looking shorts I've found in a long time. Length is perfect, just above the knee. Pockets in front are deep. Love the look. They do run slightly small. September 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Drummer Love These Shorts These shorts are awesome. They are very comfortable. I love wearing them. The length is perfect and they have real pockets. The cargo pockets are large as they should be. One thing that would make the cargo pockets nicer would be a button closure. Hope these shorts are available again so I can order more. Should have ordered more the first time. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ainsley The perfect weight and fit These cargo shorts are the perfect weight and fit. I love the natural waistline. I put them on the day I received them and never want to take them off. I will order another pair in a different color. July 30, 2014
