Congratulations Lark Shellhamer

Do you have a favorite server and ask for their section when dining out?  For several years, when I made reservations at the Cattle Company, I requested “Mike.”  And if the Cattle Company goofed, and instead, we were placed with someone else, we were moved to his section.  On the flipside, when we go to Round Ass Island (Golden Coral), the section we like to sit in has a horribly obnoxious  waitress.  We’ve figured a work-around for her.  Going before she comes on shift is the easiest method.

Culpability?   Also LWOP, is a consideration but that means the responsible party is alive and possibly reliving their crime(s) with joy while the victim’s quality of life is destroyed or they are dead.  I am a death penalty advocate when there is no room for doubt.   I say BS on the “adolescent brain”, degrees of responsibility for their action.  If this is the case, then driver’s licenses should not be issued until people are in their mid-20’s.

Dear Listserv Subscriber:
We wanted to let you know about two items recently posted to our Technical Guidance page.
The first is the Cleanup Levels Comparison Spreadsheet which provides a side-by-side of the 2008 and 2016 cleanup levels for compounds in Tables B1 and C of 18 AAC 75.   The second is the Petroleum Mass Fraction Spreadsheet which may be used in Method 3 calculations for alternative petroleum cleanup levels.  Both documents are in Microsoft Excel and can be found under Screening & Establishing Cleanup Levels here:  http://dec.alaska.gov/spar/csp/guidance_forms/csguidance.htm.    The Petroleum Mass Fraction Spreadsheet is also posted on the right hand side of the Petroleum Cleanup Level Calculator page here:  http://dec.alaska.gov/applications/spar/webcalc/index.htm.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Best wishes for the holiday season,
