I couldn't guess it.
What was the code?
"a secret!" was what worked for me!
on 4/1/2009, you successfully wooted.
order 2615****
Woo got one, this is exciting, and for the new people who thought it is a prank, its not they do this every year and hide super discount codes in the pictures or riddles, it was a secret! this year, people that dont come out of there shell, dont like salt, etc. etc. it was in the description. Happy I got one though, cant wait to find out what I get and what everyone else gets too! I picked for female skydivers though. lol
I am SO FREAKING HAPPY, First time to the Dance, hope i get some good stuff
pissed off, went thru the process and after clicking "buy it" after like a minute it took me back to the home page. watching the havoc???
I'm confused. I rapidly figured out the third shipping code, inputted it and it hung there for 21 minutes. Sigh. Thanks, Woot.
Damn it, late to the party

I agree! Why do you people tell the stupid ones?!
I'm just here waiting for the Black and Decker Rechargeable Batteries... I know they're coming
woot your the slime-e-ist to think of a a secret!, thats almost animal abuse. way to go woot. got one. weeeeeeeeee
I saw the carp coming, I was here at exactly 1:00:00am (When it updated), and the server overloaded at 1:00:05am. Maybe you can skip the helicopter part and use some of that fat mil to buy a better server, cause we needs our carp!
So, the order page finally loaded for me. I figured out the code from the description (I figured there would be one), and I put in my credit card security code. Then, I click submit. It takes a while to load, but it eventually does. Then what happens? No confirmation page, straight to the homepage it redirects me. Yes, I put in the correct security code. Yes, I used the correct coupon code.
What's the deal, woot? The item wasn't sold out. I tried again, and by the time it loaded the SECOND time I tried to order, it was indeed sold out by then. But it didn't sell out for another 5-10 minutes after my first attempt.
What's the dealio, yo?
I love c r a p. C r ap p y C r a p C r a p.
La la la la.
I hate salt. Salty Salt Salt.
Jebbus God Man....I swear, I get hosed every freakin' time. An assload of Woots and not a single freakin' box of chorizo...EVER!
I give up. Hell, even the Woot-Off lights I ordered were duds.
I want to know how omnic0n figured this out in 11 seconds... I call cheat.
Okay this embrangles thier servers were hung so I had to wait 20 minutes and I miss out on this. I played by the rules and they sell out because their server farm is miss managed,
Figured out the right code, but didn't type it in right the first time, and now I'm crapless. One day...
NOT AGAIN!!!.... I want to congratulate all those who actually got in on this But i still dont understand what i am doing wrong. This time it stayed on the 'i want one' page forever and finally switched to the information page and i immediately inserted my security code which for some reason never shows on a woot off and then,,,and then,,,immediately the SOLD OUT page came on....its such fun, but a bit (actually more than a bit) disappointing. And to think, here i was all set for the million dollar delivery fee.
That was evil woot! IM NEVER BUYING A SINGLE THING FROM WOOT AGAIN! haha... It just happens to fall on April fools day, good thing im not joking...
ha and i even figured out myself. i feel so smart. and thats how I took 3 minutes to deliberate putting in S N A I L and didnt get the box of chorizo
got mine. my first box of chorizo. Give me a TV now!!! BIG MONEY! BIG MONEY! NO WHAMMIES! NO WHAMIIEEEESSSSSS..........STOP!!
I got so excited I could feel the retching coming from by BODYCAVITY! No, please...not again...then....GABBAGABBA!!! I felt like a CAMEL that had stalked the arid desert as slow as a a secret! and then...
...got a Bustin' out chainsaws!
I almost got one made it all the way to shipping, took me 20 minutes but no luck! For the first time in ages I was actually signed out of woot better luck next year! Coupon code was a secret!
I wonder if anyone actually tried to buy this without entering the hidden shipping coupon code. And if so, I wonder if they will be held responsible for paying the $1,000,003 (I hope not). I also wonder if Matthew will actually show up at their house in a helicopter (I doubt it). Whatever it is, after 4.5 years of wooting and many many unsuccessful attempts at buying GUPPY, I finally got my first bag! yay
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarg. The one chance I got to enter a code, I tried 'smartpost'
I still think smartpost would have made more sense
I can hardly believe I got it. What a way to end an already great day, thanks woot!
FINALLY!!! After all these times losing out on the Bustin' out chainsaws, I finally got one!! Who would have thought it would have been on April Fools Day?!
BTW, the coupon code was "a secret!" as per the description. This gave you a $999,995.00 discount lol.
I wonder if the other coupon codes produced their respective shipping costs...
Got mine! Didn't think I got it 'cause it never gave me a confirmation screen and took me back to the main page. But got the confirmation e-mail and checked my account status and my precious Bowl of Chili is there! Thank you Woot Gods!
Rats. Missed it again. I have tried so many times and failed. I still love Woot, but I wish there was a way to get the Bag O guppy.
The first time I ever got through and then by the time I figured out the code sold out. Plus I just got Jalapeno juice in my eye...the woot gods hate me!
I FINALLY GOT A Bustin' out chainsaws
for 8 dollars with the slow "skail" code
DIDN'T get one!!! yeah!!
on 4/1/2009, you unsuccessfully wooted.
order 261XXXXX
You want 1
Random guppy
You tried to order 3 Random guppies.
which each cost $3.00
for a subtotal of $3.00
plus shipping + $1,000,000.00
minus discount - $999,995.00
for a total of $8.00
I love the jackass who posted the coupon code on the f1rst page. Fortunately, I already had mine by then, but still ... the fun is trying to guess it yourself.
Funny April fools joke. Always hoped to have the Woot CEO deliver my B. O. C. Now I get my wish. Best $1,000,000 I ever spent. L. O. L. !!
Got in at 1:05 or so...and I figured it out without help...other than the blog, of course. I actually got hung up after pressing the last button, and was stuck there for nearly 10 minutes before getting booted back to the main screen. But luckily my e-mail on my phone alerted me, a mere 2 minutes into said 10 minute wait, that my order had gone through! And the order under "My Account" confirms it!
Woot! 2 in a row, only 5 days apart! Must be a record ;-)
equazcion wrote:Wow, that took a while. The site's going reeeallly slow. Got mine eventually though.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this but the coupon code for normal shipping is SHNAIL, minus the H.
By my count you've said it 3 times so far and we're only on page 2.
I'm in! w00t!
*snoopy dance*
Thank you for your purchase.
Your order number xxxxxxxx for 1 Random guppy has been received by Woot on 4/1/2009 and your credit card has been charged $8.00.
Hmm. It's April Fools. Do I believe the "Sold Out" message or stay up all night refreshing the page?
Tough decision. Maybe I'll sleep on it.
Well I managed to get my box of chorizo. This is my second but this one is better because I earned it by figuring out the code!
took me a while to find the coupon code, but I did get one!

Sen. Ron Calderon Faces Political Corruption Charges
The feds levy corruption charges against a state senator and his brother, saying both of them took bribes.
Senate Leader Darrell Steinbeg has now called on Calderon to resign, or at a minimum take a leave of absence until the criminal proceedings are finished. Steinberg says if Calderon refuses, the Senate will seek to suspend him.
A federal grand jury has indicted state senator Ron Calderon on 24-counts of political corruption. US Attorney Andre Birotte says the Southern California Democrat took kickbacks to support legislation to extend film industry tax credits and change workers' comp laws that brought massive profits to a Long Beach Medical Center. Its owner has already plead.
Ron Calderon allegedly solicited and accepted approximately $100,000 in cash bribes as well as plane trips, gourmet dinners, and trips to golf resorts.
It's said he funnelled some of the money to his children and political groups that he and his brother controlled. Who also finds himself named in all this. Calderon could face upwards of 400 years in prison. He'll surrender himself on Monday.
The former owner of a tiny orthopedic hospital caught in a fraud scheme has agreed to plead guilty and testify against Sen. Ron Calderon and others in return for a reduced sentence.

Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg claimed pole position on Saturday for the Hungarian Grand Prix while Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton will start at the back of the race grid as an engine fire prevented him setting a qualifying time.
Rosberg's time of 1 minute, 22.715 seconds at the Hungaroring was 0.486 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel while Valtteri Bottas of Williams qualified third.
Hamilton, who was fastest in all three practice sessions, will start at the back for the second-straight grand prix as his engine caught fire due to a fuel leak in the early stages of the first session of qualifying.
Brake failure caused Hamilton to crash during qualifying at the German Grand Prix last week, but he finished third after starting 20th. A similar performance will be difficult on the twisting Hungaroring — a circuit where Hamilton has won four times, including the past two races — as it offers few clear opportunities for passing.
"There's a lot going through my mind, but I just have to try to turn it into positives tomorrow," Hamilton said. "It's getting to the point when it's kind of beyond bad luck. We need to do better."
With the whole field separating the two Mercedes drivers in Sunday's race, Rosberg is perfectly positioned to build on his 14-point lead over Hamilton in the drivers' championship.
"I would prefer to be out there battling with Lewis," said Rosberg. "That would give me the maximum adrenalin rush."
A brief rain shower complicated the final session of qualifying, with Kevin Magnussen of McLaren sliding off the track and making a heavy collision with a tire wall.
"It was massively difficult down there and unpredictable," said Rosberg, who like Magnussen ran off the track at the slippery Turn 1 but avoided the barriers.
It has been a challenging season for four-time defending champion Vettel. After winning 13 of 19 races in 2013, including the last nine, Vettel's best results this year are two third-place finishes. Nonetheless, the layout of the Hungarian circuit could boost his team's performance.
"The nature of the track suits us a bit more — it has less straights," Vettel said. "It seems we are a little bit closer, but Nico's final lap was very good so the gap was again quite big, bigger than we were hoping for."
Bottas, who has been surging lately and finished second twice and third once in the last three races, complained of "missing some grip" but was still satisfied with the performance of Williams, which is third in the constructors' standings behind Mercedes and Red Bull.
"Today was a really good day for us," said Bottas, whose teammate Felipe Massa will start from the sixth spot on the grid. "We have a good chance also here to get some really good points."
Daniel Ricciardo qualified fourth for Red Bull ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Behind Massa in sixth came Jenson Button of McLaren, Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne, Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, and Magnussen, who did not set a third-session time.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen qualified a lowly 17th due to a tactical blunder by the team, which tried to preserve tires and not send him out in the closing stages of the first session, believing his existing time could not be bettered, only for Marussia's Jules Bianchi to do so.
Thunderstorms have been forecast for Sunday, along with a maximum temperature of 33 degrees Celsius (91.4 Fahrenheit), though most of the rain is expected to fall in the late afternoon, after the race.Report Typo/Error

ITAL-445 Betrayals of Translation
Offered academic year 2006-2007
Professor Pireddu
What lies behind the stereotype of the translator as a betrayer (as in the Italian pun "traduttore traditore")? This course aims to answer this question by concentrating on three major aspects on the craft of translation: history, theory, and practice. We will examine the role of translation in modern and contemporary culture and its complex relationship with the question of power, by studying major Italian writers who also achieved fame as translators of foreign masterpieces. Students will be introduced to a variety of theories of and approaches to translation, with attention to their historical development down to the current connections between translation and poststructuralist, postcolonial and gender studies. The promises and the pitfalls of translation as intercultural communication will then be tested through a series of meetings devoted to practicing translation, when students will work on English and Italian texts from and to the target language. Conducted in Italian.
Open to Georgetown students and students of the Consortium. Prerequisite: solid knowledge of Italian.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: None

The Buckle Inc.
Phone: 308-236-8491
Website: http://www.buckle.com
Price (12/31/97): $34 1/4
Buckle Up! Buckle Way Up! For the teen clothing retailer, changing fashions and young adults with more money to spend has made the company popular to both shoppers and investors.
Grunge is dead. Goodbye shredded jeans and oversized flannel shirts. Teenager closets need to be restocked, and the hip Buckle (or is that the hip-hugging bell-bottom Buckle?) has been more than happy to comply.
Teens are dressing up. Boys are trading in their Seattle-inspired garb for Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, and Ecko, while adolescent girls are buying up sequined tank tops and lace dresses.
The trend has been significant enough to drum up a stunning 16.5% gain in same-store sales. That has led to some favorable margin expansion given the nature of the fixed overhead and the low variable clothing cost. In the October quarter, sales were up 30% while earnings soared 66%. No wonder shareholders have decided to Buckle up -- it's been quite a ride.
Nebraska's The Buckle, Inc. owns a chain of 200 specialty retail shops. Primarily mall-based, the stores offer apparel and accessories tailored to young men and women.
Back in the spring the stock had a 2-for-1 stock split and moved from the Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange.
Income Statement
12-month sales: $245.2 million
12-month income: $19.2 million
12-month EPS: $1.28
Profit Margin: 7.8%
Market Cap: $527.5 million
Balance Sheet
Cash: $37.5 million
Current Assets: $99.4 million
Current Liabilities: $34.4 million
Long-term Debt: None
Price-to-earnings: 26.8
Price-to-sales: 2.2
If there is one word that can aptly describe young fashion it would have to be fickle. Tastes ebb and flow. It's depeche mode where no garment lasts forever. Just two years ago we saw the flip side of today's revival. Back then Merry Go Round and Edison Brothers were filing for bankruptcy as the entire niche suffered with no definite fashion trends.
A forward-thinking investor would have figured that when the tide changed new stores would have to fill the void -- and the emptied out mall sites. Momentum has been on Buckle's side all year. The chain was beginning to report double-digit same-store sales growth while the stock was trading for a third of where it is today.
How popularity helps a retail chain is pretty simple. A mall tenant will pay the landlord for square footage. While there is often a meager percentage of revenues attached to the terms of the lease, rent is pretty much a fixed expense. So, as has been the case with Buckle, when each square foot is generating $206 in annual sales compared to just $179 the year before, margins tend to expand. Despite the busier fingers at the cash register, labor costs remain relatively fixed as well.
The one knock on labor costs, that the minimum wage went up this year, actually has helped Buckle since the nationwide mandate has put more change in the pockets of potential Buckle customers.
Not all teen retailers have thrived. Hot Topic (Nasdaq: HOTT) has only registered a 2% same-store sales gain over the past year. Buckle has set itself apart by offering everything from jean alterations to gift wrapping -- for free. The service goodies have made sense to a prudent yet hurried generation of young shoppers.
Despite its fickle patrons, Buckle itself is being run quite conservatively. The company has a cash-rich balance sheet and is debt free, unlike many of its leveraged mall counterparts -- many of whom have buckled under debt pressure. The company is also only growing its base of stores at 10% a year. That may change next year when the company expands its strained distribution center capacity to be able to service more than 400 eventual locations.
The analysts are conservative as well. Despite growing earnings more than 50% this year, they expect the chain to grow the bottom line at a 16% clip next year and over the next five years.
That is certainly a realistic benchmark -- one that places the stock's P/E valuation, its growth rate, and its patronage all in the teens. Yet, remember the fickle. Keep an eye on the monthly same-store sales figures. Just as smart investors scored big by jumping in early, they can be hurt by jumping off too late.

With the advances made in solution-phase materials chemistry in the last 20 years, nanoparticles (NPs) can now be prepared out of a wide spectrum of compositions with a high degree of particle size and shape control. NPs are an intriguing class of materials because their reduced physical dimensionality leads to the appearance of catalytic, chemical, optoelectronic, and magnetic properties not found in bulk materials. They remain rather difficult to handle for applications, though, due to their colloidal nature and their susceptibility to uncontrolled aggregation. Thus, there is a need for synthetic methodologies for creating functional materials out of NPs.
We recently discovered that, under specific solution conditions, cationic polyelectrolytes can induce negatively-charged silica NPs to form micron-sized hollow spheres rather than the randomly structured precipitate that would ordinarily result from flocculation. The polyelectrolyte (e.g., polyallylamine) forms aggregates under the crosslinking action of a multivalent salt (e.g., EDTA). These aggregates act as templates around which the NPs deposit to form a multilayer-thick NP/polymer shell. We term this form of NP assembly as "polymer aggregate templating" and the resultant nanoparticle-assembled capsules as "NACs."

Notebook Addict of the Week: Journal CEO
This is really cool: the first-ever video submission for Notebook Addict of the Week! This comes from The Journal CEO, who says
"I have Moleskines, Paperblanks, Peter Pauper Press, Barnes and Noble leather journals, Chronicle Books, Sanrio, Jacket Journals, and some random brands.
I've been journaling regularly almost 7 years now."
I lost count of how many notebooks there were amid all the variety of colors, patterns and sizes. What a great collection, and a great way to share it. Thank you Journal CEO!

Thanks for including me as an addict of the week! What a nice surprise… I wasn't expecting this and it made my day. How exciting. 🙂
omg I recognize that Beauty and the Beast Diary! That was my first diary, and what spawned my addiction to journaling, and notebooks in general.
Love this. Im glad she mentioned peter pauper cause I love the brand.
[…] week's repeat addict was featured about a year ago with my first ever video submission. Now she's back again with another great video […]

The Community Expo, one of my favorite events of the year, occurred last Saturday at Rockford's senior high school. This was the fifth annual expo as sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. We have Carl Shook, past executive director of the Chamber, to thank for our expo. Six or seven years ago, he first proposed holding a community expo. In light of the Chamber's mission to promote area businesses, it seemed like a perfect fit. Carl traveled to other expos being held around the area and initiated the plans to create our own community expo. As so many times happens in Rockford, when we do something, it's bigger and better. We don't just duplicate; we improve. The upcoming Relay for Life event is another prime example. Brenda Davis, the current executive director, has kept the ball rolling and keeps adding improvements.
I also thank Dr. Shibler for hosting the expo at the high school. I don't know how many other superintendents around the state would have been on the floor during the event like Dr. Shibler, helping to make sure all is running smoothly, but I bet it's a small number. It's hard to come up with a nicer way to promote business than the Community Expo. It is an excellent venue for citizens of the Rockford area to see the varied services and products available to them.
During the expo, I was asked many questions. I knew the answer to most of them, but there was one question that really stumped me. Fortunately, I belong to an organization, the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP), that has 14 full-time research specialists on staff just waiting for tax professionals like me to call them. I have never been disappointed in the past by NATP's research staff and I won't be disappointed this time either.
Recently, NATP published a list of their top 25 most frequently asked research questions. Six of those happen to be questions that I have asked NATP to provide me with an answer and the documentation to back up that answer.
First, can a distribution from a 401(k) be used to pay tuition or other educational expenses for a dependent and avoid the 10 percent premature distribution penalty? The answer is no. Distributions from IRAs can be used for educational purposes but not a 401(k).
Second, a taxpayer has a principal residence and a lake vacation home. He wants to sell the lake home at a significant profit but use the tax-free exchange rules to defer the tax on the profit. Is this permissible? No, the tax-free exchange rules may not be used for personal use property, such as lake vacation homes.
Third, a retired police officer receives a pension. His health insurance premiums are included in the distribution amounts reported in his 1099-R. Is there a special tax break available for the health insurance premiums? Yes, eligible retired public safety officers can elect to exclude up to $3,000 of those health insurance premiums from their retirement payments.
Fourth, married taxpayers elect to file an extension of time to file their joint return. Subsequently, they decide they would like to file separate tax returns. By filing the joint extension, have they made an election to file a joint return and are now not allowed to file separate? No, they may still file separate returns. If they made a tax payment with the extension request, they can divide up the tax payment in any manner to which they agree.
Fifth, a taxpayer takes distributions from his Health Savings Account to pay for non-reimbursed medical expenses. He receives a 1099 reporting the distributions. Does this amount have to be reported on his tax return? Yes, use Form 8889, Health Savings Account, to report the distributions in Part II. This tells the IRS that the distributions were used for medical purposes and, as such, are not taxable.
Finally, sixth, when a taxpayer takes money out of his IRA, can the money go back into the same IRA or does a new IRA have to be set up? The answer is the dollars can go back into the same IRA or the taxpayer may open up a new IRA. He has 60 days from the date of the original distribution to get the money reinvested. The 60 days is, for the most part, a black-and-white rule. If he misses the 60-day deadline, he will pay tax on the distribution and may also be subject to the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty.
The remaining most frequently asked questions are quite interesting also, but I will leave them for a future Squire article. This is Jerry Coon signing off.
He owns Action Tax Service on Northland Drive in Rockford.
His e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Before you do anything there are a few things that you need to be sure of:
Possibly one of the most important parts of the process is site preparation. This is the excavation aspect of building your pens. Clearing away possible trees or other natural/unnatural obstacles (pictures below) is important to do before you actually start the building of the pens. It's much easier to do before all the pens go up and you have to deal with being careful not to damage them. Knowing the entire layout of the pens is essential.
Making sure you have the posts are spaced equally and grounded securely are very important. Taking the time to make sure they are in securely will prevent future problems with tipping over due to winds or pressure on them.
Hanging the top cable again to be sure that there's little to no slack so it can support the wire and netting is essential.
Wire is typically efficient, simple and reliable which is why it's the best material to use when building your flight pen. Efficiency saves money and in today's economy, that's more important than ever. Be sure to keep in mind your initial ideas when actually creating them and never give up on them; improve on them where possible. Make sure to Run the Division Fences FIRST and then run the perimeter wires. *Stretch the lane wire LAST
There are many different ways or ideas on how to dig trenches. These include your typical trencher, excavators or even the old-fashioned way, your hands and a shovel. Feel free to come up with a different idea that best suits the equipment and your budget. Check out the tool used below for an idea.
It is much easier to install the gates before the fence and netting are put up. Do this at each point where handlers/workers are going to need t enter or transition from area to area.
Obviously before putting the netting up you want to be able to get the large machinery needed to plant the cover and add the typically large feeders.
This is the "meat and potatoes" of your flight pens. It's what keeps pheasants in their own area and helps you avoid mass chaos. Be sure the get the first net up square because you use that one to put every net on after that square. Take your time to make sure there are no holes or gaps and that the netting/fencing will hold birds trying to set themselves free.
One of the most important aspects of keeping your birds happy and healthy is providing sufficient water. For most of you this means running water lines to each area. Run the lines OUTSIDE of the pens so birds don't have a chance to put holes in them and create unneeded costly replacements.
1) Improve on existing procedures
2) Keep an open mind
3) Talk to people and get their input
4) Work smart - Not Hard

2. What We Value From Our Audience
The community at H-SC values:
3. Brand Management
When using social media on behalf of H-SC, your channel should reinforce the Hampden-Sydney brand. Consider the following:
4. Content
Content is king. Our social media accounts are communication channels to the extended community. What we post remains our content. By making our photos, text, or links great, we can help ensure a strong future for the College.
Hampden-Sydney's goals related to content on social media include:
5. Current Social Media Engagement
Facebook: Currently the Hamdpen-Sydney College Facebook page has 12,500 followers and on average reaches 50,000 people per week via postings on our page. The most engaged and active fans are alumni, parents of alumni, and friends of the College. In addition to these audiences, we also reach many current students. Currently, these students are not as engaged as other audiences (in regards to likes, shares, and comments) and is an area we are focusing on improving. Facebook posts highlight the accomplishments of our current students and alumni, feature interesting tidbits about the history of the College, and share important College related news. The Hampden-Sydney Facebook Page averages 4–7 posts a week.
Twitter: The Hampden-Sydney College official Twitter account has 4,900 followers. Our current students are engaged (via retweets, favorites) on a regular basis and with more consistency than on our Facebook page. In most cases, our tweets are coordinated with Facebook posts, however not all information shared on Twitter is available through our other social media accounts and vice versa.
Twitter is, by nature, instantaneous and can be more current than Facebook. By using Twitter, we aim to deliver news and information in "real time." Because of this, the College shares content more regularly than it does on other social media platforms.
LinkedIn: The Hampden-Sydney Alumni Relations Office is currently devising a strategy
for how LinkedIn will fit with our existing policies and strategies.

Good News from Moab!
BLM Issues Modified Jeep Safari Route Decision
Jan 23, 2008
By:Press Release
Contact: Russ von Koch or Katie Stevens (435) 259-2100
Moab, Utah?January 23, 2008?The Bureau of Land Management?s (BLM) Moab Field Office announced today that
it has re-issued its decision to approve the Red Rock 4-Wheelers permit for the Jeep Safari. The permit is valid for five years.
The nine day event for 2008 is scheduled to run from March 15 ? 23, culminating on Easter Sunday. The permit also authorizes a much smaller event in the fall that includes a campout. The decision also addresses the issuance of other organized group and commercial permits for the use of the same routes. These routes total approximately 600 miles in length. This decision involves 29 Jeep Safari Routes administered by the Moab Field Office.
The Finding of No Significant Impact/Decision Record is the second one issued by the Moab Field Office concerning the proposed action. On January 23, 2006, the Moab Field Office Manager issued a Finding of No Significant Impact/Decision Record approving the permit and related activities for the Jeep Safari routes. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance appealed the decision to the Interior Board of Land Appeals. In March 2007, the Red Rock 4-Wheelers asked BLM to make two minor modifications to one of the 29 routes covered by the decision, the Flat Iron Mesa Route. The requests were prompted by a portion of the route being closed by construction of a fence across private land and the group?s desire to use the Flat Iron Mesa Road for better access. Flat Iron Mesa is located about 15 miles south of Moab in San Juan County between U.S. Highway 191 and Hatch Wash.
Shelley Smith, Acting Moab Field Office Manager, said, "The two route modifications on Flat Iron Mesa, together encompassing a net gain of 1.3 miles over existing roads, resolve the issue with the private land fence and provide more efficient use of existing routes. The modifications have no overall change in impact because all permitted users are required to drive on regularly used roads available to the general public."
The Interior Board of Land Appeals set aside the January 23, 2006, decision and remanded the case to the BLM so that it could consider the requested changes to the Flat Iron Mesa route. The decision is being issued to again approve the proposed action as analyzed in the Environmental Assessment, and to make the two minor modifications to the Flat Iron route requested by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers. These modifications are described in detail in the FONSI/DR. In all other respects, this decision is the same as the FONSI/DR issued on January 23, 2006.
Kind of have to celebrate all victories no matter how small
