With every job, there's the big things and the little things. You get big, giant problems (a major client drops you) and little ones (your pen runs out of ink when you're trying to write something important). Similarly, you have big, enjoyable things as well (you make a great presentation and win an even bigger client).
I would offer that it's the enjoyment and appreciation of the small, little things that happen to you every day that leads to a happier life.
Sure, big things are big, but they're far more infrequent than the little things: you're early for a business meeting at a coffee shop and after making sure all is in order, you take a sip of your coffee... and notice that it's really, really good. You have a few minutes to relax and enjoy your surroundings and feel the steaming coffee vapor on your face as you hold the cup close. That's what I mean.
If you absolutely detest coffee shops but your job necessitates you spending a great deal of time in them, that's an awful lot of your day that isn't really enjoyable to you. If you're in the same situation but are indifferent to the coffee shop... it's neither positive or negative. But if you can learn to appreciate the little things about your job, you're miles ahead in being happy.
In my case, I spend a lot of time on stage. It's fun, it's great, but that's the big thing. One of the little things that I absolutely love is the drive home.
I don't mean "I really want to get home". Typically, by the time I get done playing, striking the stage, talking with folks who've come out to see the music, settling the tab and catching up with the bartender... it's late. Anywhere from midnight to 2am, usually. I load my gear out into my car and start home.
But the roads I'm driving on are designed for the traffic they handle at 8am and 5pm, not 2am. I have the luxury of having very few fellow travelers at that time. For all intents and purposes, I have 2-lane city streets and 4-lane highways all to myself.
It's magnificent.
In the summer, I put all the windows down, turn off the radio and listen to the wind and the sound of the road as it sails beneath me. (And yes, I drive the speed limit; when you've jumped out of airplanes dozens of times, any speed you can attain in a vehicle just seems passe.) I feel the car's weight shift as we enter a turn and feel the inertia wax and wane as we travel down and up hills. In the winter, the falling snow is beautiful in the headlights and the crunching of the snow under the tires is magical. In town, there's no one behind you to hurry you, so you can coast if the stoplight two blocks away is red (I love manual transmissions!). If you time it correctly, the light will have changed to green by the time you reach it. Eliminating the need for stopping and starting makes for a much smoother ride than is possible during the day.
In only a few hours, these same streets and interstates will fill with frustrated commuters moving at a crawl. But when I travel home from my job, it's a great reward at the end of what is usually a long, long day, and it's one of the little things that I look forward to most about this crazy life path that I'm on.
It's perhaps a natural consequence of the life and lifestyle that I've chosen (and that I live) that a great deal of my life is lived after many of those I know are in bed. We start playing music when many are in their pajamas and finish long after they've gone to bed for the evening. And yet, when we awaken (after far too few hours have passed) those same people disdain our disheveled looks because they've been up and active for hours. "But where were you last night at three?" I ask. "Long in bed. Why?" "That's when I got home from work."
The musician is much maligned because of the hours we keep. If I could play gigs starting at noon and ending at 5, and still be paid for them, I would. As it is, I can't draw a crowd at noon, and so that's why I'm in the bank line at 11:30am in my slippers and a baseball cap so that I can get quarters to do my laundry. Don't look down your nose at me, bub.

Are we ever so happy as when another school comes out with a football-themed rap video? We really think not:The best part of this particular contribution to the field of college football-themed music videos is that it's school-sanctioned, and cannot therefore be written off as the actions of a mere fringe group.

The woman, however, was adamant. She needed the roster. Pronto. "But why?" Beano asked, dreading the hours it would take to round up the name of every tackling dummy cluttering up the practice field.

Range DescriptionThis species is only known from two localities in Venezuela, one in Bolívar State (Quebrada de Jaspe), and the other in Delta Amacuro State (Serranía de Imataca). At the first locality it occurs at altitudes between 850 and 1,000m asl, while at the second, in the Caño Acoima, it occurs at 25m asl. It presumably occurs much more widely, and it is likely to be present in neighbouring Guyana.

Posted on 01/25/2008 8:35:23 PM PST by camerakid400
City officials in Lewiston, Maine, are confronting a problem straight out of a 1950s horror flick as a mysterious blob has taken over a major sewer line through the town, according to a report on WMTW.com
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Stephen King got hit by a car again?
If only Steve McQueen were still around.
And in other parts of the country, it's a blue haze...
What are Hillary and Michael Moore doing in Maine at this time of year?
From the story:
"According to city officials, the doughy, 90-foot mass is comprised of grease, flour and rags, and has been blocking a stretch of 12-inch sewer pipe on Main Street since January 13, WMTW reports.
City officials say that they will replace the section of sewer line, at a cost of between $40,000 and $60,000, beginning this week."
At least it's all in one piece that they can take out pretty cleanly.
Check the local pizza parlor for discarding cleaning debris improperly.
Cheer up, they might find Jimmy Hoffa or Judge Crater.
Must be from all that Somalian cooking over there...glad I'm a good distance from Lewiston - and that I have my own septic/well...
No, but Ted Kennedy's office needs to locate him, he may have taken another wrong turn and ended up in Maine instead of Massachusetts.
Call the guy from Dirty Jobs.
Everything okay?
Darn. You got the first Ted joke in.
Watch for people to be turned into Scotsmen any minute now...
(Love the pic of the blancmange!)
LOL, making an huge blob with all their flour, grease, and rags I suppose.
Isn't that a big rock in Australia?
You dirty rat, you found a better Cthulhu campaign poster than mine!:D
Huh, that's what I was thinking. He went with a guy who did the 'honey dipping' one time, cleaning out septics from schools and restaurants. Looked exactly like this stuff, gray cement-y stuff they had to shovel and brush off the walls of the tank. He said the grease debris smelled worse than anything else they had cleaned out.
The apostle Paul, best known for his 13 letters in the New Testament, talked about the Dispensationalist rapture/second coming of Christ scenario, long before Tim or Russell.
Oh wait, this is Maine, not Massachusetts.
Beware of the blob . . .
It creeps and leaps,
And glides and slides across the floor.
Right through the door,
And all around the hall,
A blotch, a splotch,
Be careful of the blob!
—Burt Bacharach and Mack David, 1958.
Recorded by The Five Blobs (Columbia Records), and the Zanies (Dore Records), 1958
LOL - I actually understand that reference! The dreaded Blancmange!
You are incorrect, but it's past midnight and I don't feel like rehashing the reasons why for the 78th time. Pax vobiscum.
I love it.
Ted Kennedy is in Maine?
I worked in an office behind a Denny's just after college. The days they had the grease truck come we could barely stay at our desks for hours after.
Why not get that guy on Dirty Jobs to clear it out. He's really good with that sort of shhhh...uh.....stuff.
It's one of Rosie O'Donnell's discarded feminine hygeine products.
No bets, but a very probable first line of defense seems to me to be blowing ciggy smoke at this odd whatzis. Reasonable?
While the second coming has been traditional Christian doctrine for almost 2,000 years, dispensationalism was only invented or discovered (depending on one's view) in the 19th Century. Most Christians through the ages believed that the Beast of Revelation was Nero. LaHaye and others claim to be literalists but they stretch the Bible to fit their ideas.
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
I thought it might have been Rosie O'Donnell..
You've probably seen it, but on the off chance you haven't, I'm pinging you to the Cthulhu graphic in the replied-to post.
Better remove it before the democrats register it to vote.
Hello, Roto-Rooter? There seems to be an Old One blocking my drain...

Bond villain Mads Mikkelsen scoops Cannes Film Festival award
Actor News - 28-05-12Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, who played villain Le Chiffre in Daniel Craig's first James Bond film "Casino Royale" (2006), has become the first thespian from his country to land the coveted Palme d'Or Best Actor award from the Cannes Film Festival.
In "The Hunt", a psychological thriller directed by fellow Dane Thomas Vinterberg, Mikkelsen plays a man whose life is destroyed after a false child sex abuse accusation.
Danish film was hoping for a double in at Cannes this year, as "The Hunt" was also in the running for the Best Film award, but it lost out to Michael Haneke's "Love".
Mikkelsen dedicated his win to Vinterberg, who was back at Cannes 14 years after his acclaimed incest drama "The Celebration".
�Eighty-two percent of this film belongs to Thomas Vinterberg,� he said accepting the award.
Thanks to `Sandy ` for the alert.

I don't understand how Russel Murray ("A New Ecumenism," January 29) can assume that Anglicanorum coetibus signals a shift in the Catholic Church's methodology for ecumenical engagement, especially in regard to Anglican and other churches of the Reformation (designated "ecclesial communities" in Pope John Paul II's Ut unum sint because of the "invalidity" of their "episcopacy and Eucharist"). In Catholic ecclesiology, such Western churches of the Reformation are not "sister churches."
In the 1990 CDF document Note on the Expression "Sister Churches," Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) makes a point of stating that the "Second Vatican Council adopted the expression 'sister Churches' to describe the relationship between particular churches" of the East and the Catholic Church. He continues, "It must also be borne in mind that the expression 'sister Churches' in the proper sense, as attested by the common Tradition of East and...

BMX as a sport is on the rise in the US. The tracks , the bmx bikes, the speed the comradery.
BMX Tracks
BMX tracks can be found all over the country. California was one of the starting grounds and has a high concentration of track. But looking on the USA BMX site you can find a track near you.
BMX Bikes
BMX bikes no doubt can get expensive. Do not let this deter you from getting started any bike will do to get started and check out your local track. As you progress in your racing so will your bike and your need to upgrade your bike and parts.
All Ages
BMX racing is for all ages and sexes. I very enjoy seeing whole families enjoying the races and supporting each other. Little ones start as young as 2 on strider bikes, and on the other hand there are 50 plus years out there racing and practicing with their children.

This Sunday's Gospel contains Matthew's account of one of Peter's famous stumbles. Jesus had revealed the great events that lay before him, that it was soon time for him to go up to Jerusalem and undergo his suffering, death and resurrection. Peter is scandalized by those words and says to Jesus, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you."

Lately my three-year-old granddaughter and I have been having a conversation. It goes something like this: "Madi, you have to listen to your Mom, and do what she says. "If you want to have a happy day, then you need to listen. Your day will go better and you will get more of the things you want when you listen to your Mom."
The last few years I have had a "growing" problem in my garden. I have a larger than usual lot in town, with more flowerbeds than I actually have time to look after properly. There are several beds of perennials further away from the house, on the edge of the property, that don't get the same level of attention as the ones next to the house. The result is that whatever weed issue those beds have tend to get more entrenched every year.
The feast of Pentecost used to carry different significance for me than it does now. Pentecost was the celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit, and that expressed the excitement and hope I experienced in my life of faith. The Holy Spirit was the one who came in power, who transformed from uncertainty and bondage to freedom and mission. Life was easy, evidence of God's love abounded as the Spirit opened my eyes and heart to the ways of the Father. Pentecost reminds me of that time in my life, a time which I know many others have also experienced.
One of the things I have long appreciated in Roman Catholicism is our valuing of human life in all its dimensions. I'm not referencing "respect for life" but rather the stance that looks out upon all that it is to be human, accepting and embracing and declaring it to be good. We value culture, art, music. We value our bodies, we enjoy the feast with good wine, and we value the simple loaf of bread, fresh baked. Our natural human lives, lived in nature, connected with the seasons and patterns of growth and decay is the context in which we live, and it is a way that God powerfully speaks to us.
My preparations for Easter this year have a unique dimension; I am planning the route for a visit to my father's wartime past in Holland, a route that I will begin Easter weekend. I have been looking through old papers and photographs, reading books, talking to people in Holland who are the children of men he knew there, researching the museums and memorials for the ones that hold the most significance.
All of my children, when they were young, enjoyed the game of jumping off a high place so they could be caught by their father. My granddaughter has refined the game a little. She, at two and a half, doesn't jump, she falls. She will stand on the counter while her father lies on the floor nearby and simply fall into that space above him, absolutely certain that he will catch her.
"Life is difficult." So begins Scott Peck's classic, The Road Less Travelled. Not only is it difficult, it's also complicated, textured with so many ways of seeing, so many ways of living, so many meanings, opportunities, distractions and choices.
In the early years of our marriage, I was often frustrated by the differences between my husband and me.
I heard a story from a man who had been on a mission trip to an isolated tribe that had never before been evangelized. Their preaching had been so "successful" that they found themselves with a problem: the people lost their motivation to live their daily lives. Instead, they sat around and waited for Jesus to return.

And in addition to the above they have also dumped "Alternative Radio" on Sunday evening. It was (is) one of the few intelligent, rational & liberally orientated programs with speakers giving us views not ordinarily heard on the airwaves. Speakers such as the late Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, etc. which would provide us with their thought provoking ideas. I looked forward to this program on Sunday at 8 PM. And the real kicker is that, calling itself a public affairs program, it was provided free to public radio stations. Well WUWM will loose me for that time as I look for a streaming version of that fine program. This among the other changes does not bode well for WUWM and the people of the Milwaukee area.
Typical Milwaukee. Most people around here would rather listen to the tried and true instead of something new and challenging. I'm 52 years old and I'll take My Morning Jacket over James Taylor anyday.
I'll celebrate when they dump the chatter altogether and replace it with classical music and jazz. Public radio used to be educational. Now the uneducated clowns who run it seem to know more about punk rockers from the 1970s than they do about Oscar Peterson or Leonard Bernstein.
I gave up on World Cafe some time ago. Way too many interviews with way too many young musicians who were still learning their crafts and really had nothing to say, but were generally inarticulate while attempting to say it. I won't miss David Dye.
That said, I agree wth 0602-- as I travel and encounter jazz stations and classical stations in cities and towns smaller and larger than ours, I am envious. For those times when I'm driving and our public radio stations don't fill the bill, I must keep CDs in the car. At home and in the office I can let iTunes play DJ and pick from my collection, but my poor old car doesn't have a jack to slip the iPod into! I miss the old WYMS and WFMR.
Although I enjoyed "World Cafe" (the in studio set / interview with Los Lonely Boys put me on to them a good year before they surfaced here in Milwaukee) I won't miss it much. I do hope WUWM will occassionally feature local artists as a part of the programming. Kings Go Forth, South End Blues Band and the Alex Wilson Band immediately come to mind.
I'm glad they're replacing World Cafe. Their set list had too many singer-songwriters who had a put-on world-weariness or were corny-ironic. It seemed there was a trade: play a live set for their DJ, and get your song in the rotation--quality not a factor. I like Cafe Tonight, which will play songs that are sonically interesting.
World Cafe was fresh when it first came on the scene, and for a long time after that. Now, it's probably run its course, and there are other sources for new music and interviews.
Call me crazy, but I'd like to hear mostly student-produced programming on WUWM. If quality is an issue, make it a consistent format like Classical or Jazz or New Music, but give Communications and Music students the opportunity to get trained and program and deejay within that format. If I attended UWM, I'd feel a bit cheated that I can't do that, at least not to the same degree as I could today at MSOE.
I'm in my late 20's and a big public radio/NPR fan. It doesn't bother me that WUWM is dropping World Cafe. The show is just ok. What does bother me is why they are dropping it: ""[World Cafe has] a mix of music appealing to a younger audience" than WUWM's demographic."
The only reason for me to listen to WUWM in the evening was because of World Cafe, and I might stick around for Cafe Tonight if it didn't lull me to sleep. With the change, I won't be listening in the evenings, especially if Cafe Tonight gets "older" than it already is. The proportion of my pledges to other public stations will adjust accordingly. But I guess WUWM has already made that calculus.
I actually miss the BBC world service they used to start at like 10 pm.
But given the choice, yes, I'd love to hear more local/regional artists instead of national boring stuff, and that is what a lot of their stuff was -- they had a playlist just like any other radio program, and you'd hear a couple new songs but a bunch of "tried and true" as well.
I'll have to dig out my radio for evenings again...

text: Wrath of the Serpents (V.1) RMT This is my newest team. And my first real attempt at a Hyper Offensive team. I'm not sure how it is going to work so any advice will be very welcomed! My Lead: Forretress (F) Leftovers Ability - Sturdy Relaxed Nature 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SpD - Gyro Ball - Rapid Spin - Spikes - Stealth Rock This is my usual lead. I use her to set out Spikes and Stealth Rock then often switch her back out and bring her in whenever I need to Rapid Spin or a good Physical Wall. Gyro Ball is thrown in there to do some decent damage. However (Could just be mine, I may breed a new one), I've found that she doesn't hit very hard. Using Gyro Ball when Super Effective only did 1/8th of health in damage in my last battle. However, Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Rapid Spin are more than enough reason for me to keep her. Choice Band User: Scizor (F) Choice Band Ability - Technician Adamant Nature 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD - Bullet Punch - U-Turn - Brick Break - Pursuit Ah Scizor... such an amazing Pokemon and she always seems to find her way on any of my teams somehow. A boosted priority Bullet Punch is so deadly, almost always 2HKO'ing the opponent if not a OHKO. I chose Brick Break over Superpower for two reasons: If my opponent has multiple Pokemon weak to Fighting, it could be useful to keep Scizor in, and Brick Break wouldn't lower any stats. Plus with Choice Band, it hits plenty hard if it's Super Effective, the only time I'd be using it. And it's also very useful if my opponent uses Dual-Screens, which is surprisingly common, I've found. Choice Scarf User: Terrakion - Choice Scarf Ability - Justified Jolly Nature 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe - Close Combat - Stone Edge - Earthquake - X-Scissor I've replaced my Reuniclus with a Choice Scarf Terrakion by suggestion of Novaray. The change was made due to my massive Fire weakness in Forretress and Scizor, and I use him to out-speed and kill Volcarona before it can do any massive damage to my team. At the same time, he makes an incredible sweeper and revenge-killer for my team with powerful STAB Close Combat and Stone Edge. Sub-Disable: Gengar (M) Black Sludge Ability - Levitate Timid Nature 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast - Disable - Substitute Gengar seems to be hated by many. Using his massive speed, he's always able to get off Substitute, and then turn around and use Disable to shut down the opponent. It's so funny to watch someone rage as this happens to them. Then using his massive special attack stat, I can turn around and blast them with Shadow Ball or Focus Blast for massive amounts of damage. Gengar is such an amazing Pokemon to use if you can master him. First Physical Sweeper: Gyarados (M) Leftovers Ability - Intimidate Adamant Nature 56 HP / 248 Atk / 204 Spe - Waterfall - Stone Edge - Substitute - Dragon Dance Gyarados was one of the core members I knew I had to have on my team. He's such a powerful beaste Substitute is used to build up defenses (if the opponent tries to use a status move or i'm facing a non-effective attack) and to shield from status, which Gyarados cringes at. Once he's safe behind a Substitute, I build up a couple Dragon Dances then go on the sweep, using Waterfall and Stone Edge for great coverage and massive amounts of damage. I use stone edge over bounce for a few reasons. Mainly more damage and better coverage. So many Pokemon resist or only take neutral damage from flying type attacks. Many more massive damage from a rock type Offensive Dragon Dance User: Dragonite (F) Lum Berry Ability - Multiscale Adamant Nature (31 attack IVs) 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe - Outrage - Fire Punch - Earthquake - Dragon Dance Dragonite, the absolute core of my group, the only one I wanted even more than Gyarados. Using Multiscale and backed with Forretress's Rapid Spin support, she is always to get off a Dragon Dance, and that is all she needs. Then she goes on the offense using Fire Punch or Earthquake to take out any annoying steel types, then blasting way the rest of my opponent's team using a STAB Outrage. She nearly always gets a OHKO when backed with a Dragon Dance. Lum Berry is there to protect from status or to break the confusion caused by Outrage, whichever comes first. Well guys, that's my team. I appreciate any rates and advice from you all.

It's sad to see trainers be so jealous of eachother and having such an ego and not trying to learn from others. It certainly hurts the sport.
I would've loved to go into training but i think the time has passed me by. Starting now would be doing a massive disserve to myself and to anyone that would be unfortunate enough to get involved with me. It's funny because all the male members of my family are BIG boxing fans, but no one really went into and got involved in the sport in any serious capacity, apart from some extended family members. I was the closest to being a fighter but alas it never happened and it's probabily too late now to get into training. There would be too much work that needs to be done and you don't wanna end up trying to learn on the job and ruining someone. I've got a young son and i'll try and get him into the gym when he's old enough. I just hope i don't become one of those pushy fathers who wants to live his dream through his son and ends up doing serious damage.
Having your own gym and producing a champion would just be the ultimate.
How old are you? Why tell yourself you can't do something before you even try. Guess what, I couldn't box, be a good dad, go in the army, Run an iSO security company, work the doors, get an a level, get a degree, work as a body guard, make a comeback after 5 years, compete in prizefighter, train boxers, be a personal trainer, have a decent job, raise a family, start my own business either - these are all things I couldn't do for whatever reason... But I did it! Unless your 70 years old and about to die I recommend you follow your dreams - because that's what life is for - everything else is just an obstacle that needs to be overcome ....
If you have a vision or a dream go for it! **** been realistic- let the realistic people sit at home watching tv while us crazy people do the impossible!

AbstractBiomass is a renewable resource with high potential to achieve cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy to the American consumer, but yet is still deemed inefficient. First, current methodologies only allow conversion of cellulosic materials into biofuel, leaving energy-rich hemicellulosic material unutilized. Second, even though carbohydrate conversion is the focus of biomass processing, currently there exists no reliable online carbohydrate monitor. As a result, biomass conversion commonly shows 35% relative standard deviation yields batch-to-batch because of variations in raw materials and processing conditions. Here, Advanced MicroLabs (AML) will construct an online carbohydrate proof-of-concept monitoring device, based on a patent-pending microchip capillary electrophoresis coupled with electrochemical detection technology. AML will team with both the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL, Golden, CO) and the Henry Laboratory at Colorado State University. NREL operates a next generation cellulosic/hemicellulosic pilot plant and is eager to find an online monitor that can provide feedback for efficient processing. NREL has identified a sensor that monitors glucose and xylose concentrations during processing as a high priority and will be the focus of this proposal. The Henry Lab authored the provisional patent and recently demonstrated resolution and sensitive detection of both glucose and xylose in model solutions using the technology. In this project, the Henry Lab will develop the conditions necessary to resolve glucose and xylose within real pilot plant samples provided by NREL. We conservatively estimate online monitoring would save the current cellulosic bioethanol industry $55 million/yr. with even greater savings in the future cellulosic/hemicellulosic industry.

Freeman Dyson and his amazing, incredible 'genetically engineered carbon-eating trees'
I cannot imagine what possessed the New York Review of Books to have theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson review two books on human-caused global warming (see here). It is a subject completely outside of his expertise and one that he has repeatedly said is bunk.
Dyson has previously said stuff directly at odds with the actual scientific evidence, like "There is no doubt that parts of the world are getting warmer, but the warming is not global" (see "Freeman Dyson, Climate Crackpot").
Then again, while he was once a brilliant theoretical physicist, he's never been strong on the applied side of science. He was, after all, one of the "geniuses" pushing Project Orion — the absurdly impractical idea of creating a rocket ship powered by detonating nuclear bombs.
The new article is critiqued by RealClimate (here). But I did want to highlight one amazing assertion by Dyson on how he believes the issue of carbon emissions will be solved soon, which makes all too clear why he should stick with theoretical physics:
I consider it likely that we shall have "genetically engineered carbon-eating trees" within twenty years, and almost certainly within fifty years.
Carbon-eating trees could convert most of the carbon that they absorb from the atmosphere into some chemically stable form and bury it underground. Or they could convert the carbon into liquid fuels and other useful chemicals. Biotechnology is enormously powerful, capable of burying or transforming any molecule of carbon dioxide that comes into its grasp…. If one quarter of the world's forests were replanted with carbon-eating varieties of the same species, the forests would be preserved as ecological resources and as habitats for wildlife, and the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be reduced by half in about fifty years.
It is likely that biotechnology will dominate our lives and our economic activities during the second half of the twenty-first century, just as computer technology dominated our lives and our economy during the second half of the twentieth. Biotechnology could be a great equalizer, spreading wealth over the world wherever there is land and air and water and sunlight…. After we have mastered biotechnology, the rules of the climate game will be radically changed. In a world economy based on biotechnology, some low-cost and environmentally benign backstop to carbon emissions is likely to become a reality.
Oh, well, genetically-engineered carbon-eating trees will solve the problem. Why didn't anyone point this out before? It certainly would've saved me a lot of time.
Wait, I can improve his idea. It's obviously too risky to take the carbon and "bury it underground." What if it leaked? Let's put the carbon on rocket ships powered bynuclear bombs. That way we can be sure the carbon ever return to our atmosphere….
As long as influential publications like the NYRoB publsih such unmitigated disinformation, it's going to be a long time before this country is ready to take the actions needed to avert catastrophic climate outcomes.
31 Responses to Freeman Dyson and his amazing, incredible 'genetically engineered carbon-eating trees'
Once we have the carbon on nuclear-powered spaceships, we should dismantle Jupiter, reconfigure its mass, and mix it with the carbon, to build a Dyson Sphere that humanity can then inhabit peacefully, not wasting a photon of sunlight from now until our star turns out its lights (See Dyson, Freeman J. "Search for Artificial Sources of Infrared Radiation." Science, (June 3, 1960): 1667-8.).
While Dyson is not a climate change expert, it is not fair to criticize Project Orion. The Orion "engine" was and is a very good idea. Possibly not the best one around, or the one we should go with. But perhaps you should take your own advice and stick to commenting on _your_ own field too…
I personally agree with Dyson, to a point – every challenge of climate change can be overcome. The question is one of speed and cost – for example will the Supertrees be able to keep up if we let emissions grow unchecked between now and then? I doubt it.
i hereby include billions of dollars in my budget for the development of flame- and bug-resistant desert-dwelling supertrees whose lumber and sap can be the next great building materials, and an additional fifty thousand (for me) to study the impact of unstoppable supertrees as an invasive species.
It amazes me how unserious so many people are who should know better. How could the New York Review of Books have asked Dr Dyson for a review of Global Warming books. And then having received it, not think that references to super duper growing trees might not be a reasonable review.
I'm thinking that New York Review of Books was looking for someone to review books who are deniers and delayers by someone who themselves is a denier or delayer. But that is the problem with books reviewed by one reviewer.
Dyson spheres are great fun though to think about, even if they are unstable and would fly apart. Much better would be ringworlds.
Kudzu. Think kudzu.
Didn't the High Explosive test of the ORION concept work? Again we'd have a Mars colony if the test ban treaty hadn't stopped Orion. It would be a great replacement for the 30 year old shuttles–imagine multi-million pound payloads.
[JR: You are a kidding, right? But the disinformation has no place here and was deleted.]
Dyson needs to get me my jetpack, aircar and robotic servant before genetic engineering fixes the carbon problem.
I also don't understand how mitigation strategies involving the manufacture and sale of compact flourescents, solar panels and wind turbines will harm the economy. Isn't building and selling stuff supposed to be what its all about?
Joe Romm, You need to take a mental health day at the doctors office as soon as possible.
Not one Thing I posted is dis information– if it is surely the wisdom of the village would discover it.
Every summer, Mauna Loa's registered concentration of CO2 goes down by between 6.5 and 8 ppm, although man-made emissions of CO2 do not stop during the summer (they rather increase), and we have a pretty number of forest fires too. The reason for this seasonal decrease is the photosinthesis taking place in the Northern Hemisfere. Any policies that concentrate in improving the way photosinthesis sequesters carbon during the summer should not be dismissed so easily, although this one in particular sounds pretty weird. I would just focus on proper reforestation criteria wherever reforestation is needed, but with well known species that 1) grow fast, and 2) are useful for us, for their wood, for a later manufacture of products. In the end, it is the same that Freeman proposes, although without playing gods.
The NYROB is famously receptive to corrective letters to the editor, and they generally force their writers to respond to direct critiques — I recommend you submit a letter. Really.
(Correction: the CO2 concentration goes down between 5 and 6.5 ppm in the summer, after a new look at a graph with improved resolution. But curiously, in the 50's, it was the same. Which may mean that either we have not increased the emissions of CO2 in the summer since the 50's, quite unlikely, or the world's capability to sequester CO2 in the summer has increased by the same ammount that our emissions have increased).
Here is Harold's very practical and straight-forward process for sucking gazillions of tons of CO2 from the air.
It has been known for quite sometime that vast areas of the ocean lack micronutrients, in paricular ferrous iron and silica, that are required for good growth of alga and diatoms. A few experiments have shown that adding ferrrous iron greatly promotes the growth of alga. However there is serious problem with this approach: fertiilization of the ocean will-nilly will promote the growth of good alga but also bad alga like the species that form toxic red blooms.
The simple way around this problem is to innoculate ocean with starter culture of a mix of good alga and diatoms at the same time the micronutients are being added to the ocean.
Here is how the process would work. A supertanker is filled up with concentrated solutions of the micronutrrients and water glass (i.e., sodium silicate which is required by diatoms) and with actively growing cultures of good alga and diatoms. These are prepared on shore using standard growing precess and equipment.
Let us suppose the tanker is sailing east to west. At the desired ocean location, the tanker starts dispensing the alga and diatom cultures and micronutrient solutions just as the sun comes up in these east. We can use satellites to monitor the growth of the organisms because we don't want to over-fertilize the ocean and create an oxygen deficet condition which will kill many other organisms at night when oxygen production by the photosyntherizers ceases. At night alga and diatoms respire and use up oxygen as do all other ocean plants and animals.
To take advantage of the newly food sources of alga and diatoms, we could have a second tanker dispense zooplankton that gobble up the alga and diatoms.
A third tanker would dispense first hatchings of desireable food fish. We arrange all of this so that the hatchlings will be carried into the coastal waters were there is natural supply of food.
This is a no-brainer. It is no different than a farmer bringing seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation water to a plot of land, like the Central Valley of California.
This would operation would have to been run by the UN FAO for example, because private companies would not be able to earn a predictable and immediate return on their investment since this process takes place in the free ocean.
What see ye JOe?
On the serious side of fertilizing the oceans to create algae or other living organisms has been tried, but for a number of reasons has so far failed. It would be nice if some safe method were found and scientists keep looking and maybe they'll come up with something. Until then, we got to do it the old fashioned way, by installing low and non carbon energy sources and energy reductions.
In keeping with Dr. Dyson ideas, there was a interesting book out a few years ago called "The Millennial Project: Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps." One of the steps was to put some 10 000 power stations in the oceans using Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) that would pull up ocean water from 1000 feet in the ocean and using the thermal difference in the deep cold ocean water and the sun heated warmer upper ocean water to run an engine for power. Not much temperature difference, only about 20 –23 degrees F, but the idea is to use lots and lots of water.
Then once the resource rich but cold water reaches the surface and warms, it is eaten up by these algae and an entire ocean ecosystem is started. Each of these OTEC stations could support a population a million people or something like that.
The whole book was a fun read and was imaginative and I think that Sir Arthur C. Clark gave the forward to the book. Still each of the eight steps had problems (engineering)with them and there were cheaper ways of doing it. As Science Fiction maybe becoming science fact it was good.
But about on the same level as Dr. Dysons super duper growing trees.
Someone needs to tell me why Dyson/Nylo/Harold Peirce et. al. want to spend our collective national genius coming up with ways to mitigate the effects of global warming rather than spending it on ways to take available technology and simply avoid burning fossil fuels in the first instance.
I mean, at one level, this seems like flying down the highway headed toward a rock wall, and instead of simply putting on the brakes, you jump out of the moving car and start trying to dismantle the cliff face.
Are these folks so desperate to export trillions of dollars to foreign countries to buy oil that they'd ignore the obvious?
It's all so nonsensical.
Read the reviews, Dyson makes more sense then Joe.
I posted the use of gene engineered coral reefs more effective then trees–(If Dyson is wrong, why is bad to cut down forests?).
Doesn't any one with a fraction of a brain think gene engineered trees aren't already in the very-low profile pipeline?) For one-Palm oil trees.
John, if you read the Nordhaus review–it explains the economic costs of mitigation so the simplest intellect can understand. The Gore and Stern plans are deconstructed economically.
Allow the creation of coal to liquid plants and OPEC is a footnote in history.
The non-sense is the way the AGWers have perverted/prevented adaptive technology
"The non-sense is the way the AGWers have perverted/prevented adaptive technology."
Uhm, yeah, the only thing standing in the way of someone producing Dyson's carbon-eating trees is http://www.climateprogress.org. We've single-handedly stopped this from happening. Good job everyone.
(And actually market-based carbon trading systems would create the economic incentives to produce stuff like this if it was actually viable — right now there's no economic incentive in carbon-capturing trees — if businesses needed to purchase offsets, however, then they become viable in a marketplace, and nothing would be standing in anyone's way — they would just need to be competitive with other technologies).
john, first, because available technology is inefficient. I support any initiative to improve alternative technologies to make them more efficient. I hate the dependence on petroleum. But I want to change petroleum for something better, not worse. And second, because I don't think that the climate change will be as big as pretended by IPCC, and more importantly, I don't think that such a climate change could be a problem at all. That's why.
@Peter Foley — what's with the ad hominem chatter? Bad form.
@Andrea Boykowycz — Didn't we go to college together?
Joe's earned the my statement of fact, it isn't an attack, its the truth.
Lamont, JR has flatly stated breeding trees as a solution is impossible even as all the fossil carbon was created by plants of various sizes. it worked millions of years ago, why not now? A phony market of unnecessary carbon trading? let us first have proof of Carbon forced AGW prior to economic suicide.
Joe has removed all decision points from public discussion, It is my way to the future or death by a phony crisis.
Even if there is an actual crisis, there is no need for irrational social destruction posited by Joe Romm. Just as the USA doesn't need to sacrifice personal liberties in the War on NGOs(terrorists) we don't have to let go of a growing economy to preserve our world.
Quick thing on comment above:
"…even as all the fossil carbon was created by plants of various sizes. it worked millions of years ago, why not now?"
I think the problem within this statement is contained within this statement. The trees fell into bog swamps over a period of about 100 million years, then it took another 200 million years to cook them into coal. Not sure we have that kind of time!
"economic suicide", "irrational social destruction", "let go of a growing economy"
Buying compact fluorescents, solar cells and wind turbines creates jobs and produces economic stimulus. We're not going to stop using oil and go back to living in caves, the point is to replace the carbon-dependent economy with one that is not. If you want to profit off of it, buy shares in FSLR. The GDP doesn't need to get damaged at all.
And the Keynesian pump priming could actually be a better course than any other after the last 8 years — log term job growth into new industries is what we badly need.
1. JR "Genetically engineered trees will solve the problem, Why didn't anyone point this out before? it'd saved me a lot of time." part b, "it is to risky to bury the carbon underground" Do we need to orbit the remaining natural gas?
1.B. How did that carbon get underground in the first place Dr. Romm?
2. Has the IPCC 5 came out yet that explains the 10 year break in the action yet? I've read the reports, We're almost completely off the IPCC predictive charts now.
3. At 40.oo a ton I'm taxed 400.00 a year, considerably more then 0.1 % of GNP. And that is the thin edge of the anti-carbon jihad.
3.B How has the US economy grown so much in spite of the war in Iraq- 60% increase in GNP. Quit spreading the big lie about the US economy.
4. A. part time power via solar, wind, B. switching costs from working power to unknown. C. Loss of freedom due to collapsing economies. D. Mass reduction in freedom of movement with concurrent reduction in earnings. E. artificially increasing energy costs for ever with irrational laws. F. The very books Dr. Dyson reviewed cover this issue in depth. G. Many countries will go negative with a 0.11% reduction in growth thus causing the four horsemen to ride again, millions or billions doomed to poverty and early death. The carbon scare has already reduced the USA economy much more than 0.11% without any environmental gains. H. your recruiting of ZPGers, Sustainability cultists, et Al prove you will allow the end of the current growing Western economic model for a slight crisis.
Disagreement is NOT disinformation, I think you are transferring your behavior to me. If my alleged Disinformation is so patently false, show me how/why. A because I say so isn't sufficient.
Your emotional anti nuclear bias ("geniuses" pushing project ORION) by the way that is practical nuclear physics, Your writing is literally directly above.
If your claims were not so disruptive our society, you would be just another eccentric who wants to run the world. Your intentions might be pure (I highly doubt it) but your actions place you on the fast lane to damnation.
It is my duty to actively oppose evil(wrong), even evil(wrong) based on good intentions.
I am starting to relate to Trotsky's ghost when the NVD came around and razor bladed out of all Soviet texts and references mention of Trotsky. Deletion of my posts will not repair the logic flaws and factual errors of carbon forced AGW.
"all kneel before diminishing returns, for they are returns, and once were great."
ATTN: John!
Do you want read my "Fossil Fuels are Forever" comment? Just think about fossil fuel usage. I'll post it again if you are curious.
There are a great many activities for which there are no substitutes for fossil fuel, for example, the really heavy hitters suchas boats, planes, trucks and trains, machinery of agriculture, mining, and forestry, industries that manufacture building and construction materials, all food processing, emergency vehicles, etc.
There is no way around the high heat required for cement, metal smelting, ceramics of all types, pizzas, etc.
And don't me going on diamond, gold, sliver mining! Or the military-industrial complex. Can you imagine the amount of CO2 emitted on behalf of the Tiffany crowd?
If you live in a climates that can get darn cold, you want a rock solid supply of electrcity for the blower motors of furnances and for essential services. Coal-fired electrical power plants are that type of technology.
Can you imagine the amount of electricity required to operate all the elevators in NYC? Or modern telecommunications systems?
France gets about 80% of its electricity from nuclear power, but you hear no sqauwking from the enviros or no reports of any major accidents. Many countries could have had this technology, but the power companies have been blocked from constructing these plants by these totally, hopelessly and perpetually clueless enviros, whose only goal in life is to avoid hard physical labor like tying rerod on the thirteenth floor of a high rise under construction when it is 2 deg C and just pouring down rain. There is joke there, but these downright stupid and #!@&%?* ignorant enviros would never get it.
The botton line is this: There ain't no free lunch!
Come to super natural, beautiful British Columbia where all the electricity is generated by hydro.
ATTN: John Massey! Tell John about "The Best Place on Earth!"
Our choice is simple. We either use existing and nearly market ready technologies to free ourselves from fossil fuels now — and improve our current accounts deficit by more than half a trillion per year, clean up the air, avoid potentially catastrophic warming (even if you only admit a 1% chance of the scientists being right, any rational risk anlysis would say take action to avoid such a calimity — certainty is not necessary) as side benefits.
We wait for oil and other fossil fuels to either run out or get so expensive we wish they were gone (if you look at demand projections, coal will soon be joining natural gas and oil as an exploding cost) then make the switch.
Either way we will have to make the switch. The only difference is — do we iavoid all those horrendous costs and do it now, or do we incurr them all and do it later/
As for costs, Nordhaus et. al haven't faired very well — the IPCC, the Stern reports and most of the analysis of them have come dwon firmly on the side that acting to cut GHG will cost relatively little, while failing to act will impose a permanent drain on the GDP equvalent to the Great Depression.
Finally, for folks who love the power of the private market, there's a whole lot of "Can't do."
Yes, it will be hard to match the energy density of fossil fuels – but with a little ingenuity our economy can become much more efficient, as can the so-called energy dense technologies.
Case in point — Boeing is kicking butt in sales right now because their plane is more efficient.
At any rate, I'd rather use out collective national smarts to get off of the stuff that's causing us problems, than use it to figure out some way to keep on using it.
Another analogy: Inventing ways to keep on using fossil fuels makes about as much sense as donning a helmut so you can continue to walk into the wall, rather than simply going around it.
As I said, fatuous, in the extreme.
I just read the Dyson review and have these comments.
Dyson says 8% of atmospheric CO2 is recycled through vegetation. Maybe so, maybe not. The "evidence" he cited doesn't support that conclusion.
He says, "The great virtue of Nordhaus's economic analysis is that it remains valid whether the majority view is right or wrong." I haven't read the Nordhaus book, but I know how to do a net present value calculation, and that cannot be correct. If the deniers are right, then the future costs of a business as usual scenario would be very small compared to the costs associated with the catastrophe scenario. If the present costs are the same and the future costs are different the NPV has to be different.
Similarly, and Nordhaus would be vulnerable here, dramatically different assumptions about costs, and especially the timing thereof, could make the NPVs of the 5 scenarios come out in a different order.
According to Dyson, Nordaus says "climate change is unlikely to be catastrophic in the near term," which I interpret to mean the 1 or 2 centuries the model addresses. So, that's where Nordhaus put the rabbit into the hat–assume there is no problem and the computer model will prove a solution is unnecessary. So very econometrician of him.
Largely left out of the discussion about GCC is explicit and sober acknowledgment of uncertainty and the implications of uncertainty. The deniers seem to require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which some of them might admit is irresponsible if the consequence of being wrong would be a catastrophe. Maybe some headway can be made with some of them with a frank discussion of risks and the appropriate degree of (un)certainty that is appropriate under the circumstances. If they were living next to Three Mile Island as it melted down, would they wait until a Chernobyl style eruption was predicted to be 99% likely before they got into their cars and drove 100 miles upwind? How certain do you have to be that a downed power line is de-energized before you grab it?
Nordhaus uses a 4% discount rate in his NPV calculations. NPVs are extremely sensitive to the chosen rate and one often does iterations with different rates. Nordhaus apparently says 4% is the right number to avoid economic "inefficiencies." But Nordhaus's co-author, Paul Samuelson, said, "Every good cause is worth some inefficiency." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/09/business/worldbusiness/09outsource.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print&position=&oref=slogin I'm going with the older and wiser guy on that.
I would agree with Dyson that some of the actual public discussion is based on one secular religion or another, but no group is more practiced at fervently believing the unbelievable than economists.
Congratulations, Joe, on the page view milestone. Keep on keeping on.
Your criticisms of the idea of genetically engineered organic systems to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide would be more interesting if there were actually some substance to them. Far as I can see, your only objections are that: (1) molecular biology is not Dyson's field of specialization; and (2) such systems do not exist right now (this argument is not even strictly true.
I am a lawyer (also a CPA, with an MBA) by profession, but just because that's how I earn a living doesn't mean I cannot be well informed about other matters. In fact, sometimes intelligent non-specialists can see the big picture better than the specialists who become mired down in a certain way of looking at the world.
My undergraduate minor was chemistry, and as a hands-on gardener I have studied organic systems since I was a child. I think using organic systems to capture carbon is a great idea — one would not want to focus SOLELY on the plants — you would also need to cosider the organisms that break down dead vegetation: small animals such as earth worms and snails; bacteria, etc.
With respect to looking at the economics — far from trivializing the problem, considering the costs is the ONLY reasonable way to begin to actually DO something. As Dyson's review says, you can tell when someone isn't really serious about doing something when they DON'T consider the economics. Most of my clients are small businesses. I know very well what it takes to get from dream to reality. Doing the financial stuff may be dry and boring, but it's VERY necessary in order to have any reasonable chance of success.
Finally, since all the other commentators have been groaning and grmbling — one of the things I find most irritating about arm chair environmentalists is the way they are so eager to preach deprivation and penance for everyone else, while they drive their SUV's two blocks to an airconditioner restaurant where they consume antibiotic-laden animal flesh produced in vile meat factories. Have you people ever stopped to think that a large % of the carbon emissions in the U.S. are produced by our agribusiness system? (I believe agriculture and food processing account for around 20% of the fossil fuel used each year in the U.S.) Are you willing to pay reasonable (meaning much higher) prices for your food in order to eliminate the food chain's reliance on cheap corn and fossil fuel? Are you willing to forego strawberries shipped from New Zealand to New York? Are you willing to walk a mile to the store instead of driving?
To clarify my position: I agree 100% that it's a good idea to switch to power sources other than fossil fuels. I set up my first photovoltaic system in the 1990's (one weakness of using solar energy is that most systems run through storage batteries that aren't very efficient and wear out relatively quickly).
The problem with relying on alternative energy sources to fix the problem is that, if the pessimistic global warming models are correct, it's too late for that. If the pessimistic models are correct, now is the time to figure out how to deal with the problem, not how to avoid it in the first place.
"hapa Says:
i hereby include billions of dollars in my budget for the development of flame- and bug-resistant desert-dwelling supertrees whose lumber and sap can be the next great building materials, and an additional fifty thousand (for me) to study the impact of unstoppable supertrees as an invasive species."
This is precisely why I'm wary of any grand geoengineering, especially GMO-unleashed. Nonetheless there is an enormous upside if we ever are S.O.L. I've read on somewhere like physorg that if the atmospheric temperature reaches 65C, some sort of physical process terminates us. If runaway warning seriously threatens (an ice age has onset in decades or less so it is reasonable to be open to the potential a melted W.Antarctic glacier or ocean current changes or ocean/permafrost clathrate release, may sharply trend temps up.
If this threatens my Dysonian suggestion is to utilize GMOs to create a floating mat on oceans that has an albedo much higher than ocean's 7%. More challengingly, regrowing glaciers and ice sheets may be possible if a GMO mat can be created on the surface of ice sheets to insulate them from a warming atmosphere/sea. The metabolism would be harder on the surface of an ice sheet as air nutrients might not be enough. The GMO glacier mat would function anologous to how the surface soil insulates permafrost from warm air. The benefits of regrowing the Himalayas 2100 or restoring a 1900 climate in 2200 may be huge, but as hapa commented: you don't want Iceball Earth.

'Boardwalk Empire' - 'Belle Femme': Nice guy Eddie
A review of tonight's "Boardwalk Empire" coming up just as soon as I write the Vatican...
"You have power you do not suspect." -Madame Jeunet
This first season of "Boardwalk Empire" has been the story of Nucky Thompson realizing he can't be half a gangster anymore, but it's also the story of how Margaret Schroeder realizes she's a gangster's woman - and exactly how she can exploit that.
In another strong episode of what's so far looking like a great finishing kick for season one, Nucky welcomes prodigal son Jimmy back to help in the war against the Italians, and Jimmy forces Nucky to come right out and say that he wants the Dilessio brothers dead. It's not that Nucky hasn't arranged murders before - he did it to Mr. Schroeder way back in the series premiere, after all - but it's always been something understood, not overt. Jimmy wants Nucky to say the word "Yes" not only because he wants his former mentor to accept the new world order, but because he's tired of the sense of moral superiority that Nucky's held over him since the ambush in the woods.
(Left unsaid, in part because they don't quite realize yet that Rothstein is their true enemy, is that most of this is Jimmy's fault. It's entirely possible that Rothstein would have looked to muscle Nucky out down the road, but when Rothstein gave the Dilessios his lecture about how reputations are built over years and destroyed in seconds, all I could think of was how quickly Jimmy ruined Nucky's rep in Rothstein's eyes.)
Jimmy's return isn't the triumph either he or Nucky hoped for. Angela doesn't want him back (and doesn't appreciate Jimmy's requests for another child, when she doesn't particularly want the one she has). He almost immediately winds up in jail courtesy of Agent Van Alden, and his future only seems safe because Van Alden's partner Agent Sepso turns out to be on the take and kills the witness. And with Jimmy locked up for the time being, it's down to Eddie to protect Nucky when the Dilessios try a hit, though the usually comic relief manservant proves to be a surprisingly adept bodyguard.
(Or maybe it's not so surprising; Eddie's usually much more effective than Nucky gives him credit for.)
And where it's Jimmy holding Nucky's head up to the light and forcing him to look around, Margaret's own Come to Jesus moment comes from an unlikely source: Madame Jeunet, who had so little use for Margaret when Nucky first sent her to the shop, but who here needs an advocate against the crippling tax Nucky's machine has begun charging her. Margaret's not without her ability to manipulate Nucky - see her actions in the episode that ended with their first kiss - but before it felt like some kind of haphazard plan at best, an accident more likely. (In that episode, she wasn't sure how Nucky would react, but was lashing out after she felt snubbed by him post-birthday dance.)
Here, though, she knows what she's trying to do. The direct approach doesn't work, because as much as Nucky admires her intellect he doesn't want to be interrogated by it, and Margaret ultimately realizes that what Madame Jeunet meant was the power of her femininity. She plays the vulnerable woman, knowing Nucky will want to do anything he can to protect her, and he falls for it and eases the burden on Belle Femme. And then Margaret shows she's not a sap by exacting a higher commission (the fancy blue dress, rather than the less expensive gifts for her daughter) than Madame Jeunet was prepared to give.
Everyone keeps underestimating Margaret, but the women's vote is coming. Her power will never be what it would be for a comparable woman in 2010 (or even that of, say, Peggy on "Mad Men" circa 1965), but like the skinny but calculating man she loves - and, for that matter, Eddie - she's much tougher than she looks, and seems ready for the season's final challenges.
Some other thoughts:
• Gillian and Jimmy's relationship again proves to be a bit different than your average mom and son, as she continues to sleep with Lucky Luciano on her boy's behalf, then sets up Jimmy to get the drop on Lucky. The scene where Van Alden inadvertently saves Lucky's life, though, illustrates one of the pitfalls of intermingling real and fictional characters, as anyone who knows anything about Luciano knows Jimmy's not going to be successful in killing him, and then it just becomes a question of what will save him.
• And in the same episode where we see Jimmy with his mom for the first time in a while, Jimmy and Nucky have a very curious exchange in jail, where Jimmy asks Nucky to go see his dad. It's not followed up on - or is it? Could it be that the Commodore is Jimmy's father? If nothing else, it might give Dabney Coleman more to do than his sporadic, brief appearances so far.
• I was so pleased to hear Jimmy include Richard Harrow's employment as one of his conditions. In only two episodes (one of them a very brief appearance last week), Richard's already become one of my favorite characters on this show, and I missed him this week.
• Van Alden's clearly losing it in this one. He's still obsessing on Margaret's immigration photograph, his interrogation of Jimmy is all over the map (and again dwells too much on Margaret), and he's now convinced himself that getting rid of Nucky will somehow clean up the Sodom of Atlantic City, when we have ample evidence it will not - that Rothstein or one of a dozen other gangsters would step in and keep the liquor flowing.
• I thought it was a nice touch that Margaret's kids are being read to from "The Road to Oz," the fifth book in the series, rather than the original. The first book is obviously most famous to us because of the Judy Garland film, but there was a time when the series as a whole was very popular indeed. I actually read them all as a kid, but don't remember if there are specific parallels from its plot to this episode.
What did everybody else think?

To achieve a successful weight loss program is quite a tricky thing. It is not only about an effective dietary supplement and strict exercise but the important thing is balance. Balance means following any method or treatment in a proper way to give the best result.
There are two reasons why Garcinia Cambogia does not work effectively: human mistake or supplement fault. How to use Garcinia Cambogia effectively? Fundamentally, it focuses and how you take Garcinia Cambogia. Besides, there other points you need to know before you buy and use Garcinia Cambogia in your weight loss program.
Garcinia Cambogia appetite suppressants reviews
What Do You Know About Garcinia Cambogia?
Extracted from Malabar tamarind fruit, Garcinia Cambogia with its HCA may be able to inhibit fat producing enzyme (citrate lyase) and increase serotonin levels. The results are: reduces appetite, boosts energy, promotes cardiovascular and improves digestive.
Kris Gunnars in authoritynutrition.com said, "There have been many studies conducted on Garcinia Cambogia in overweight individuals. Some of them show a small amount of weight loss, while other studies show no effect." Still, it may work pretty well for other people.
Who Can Not Use This Supplemant?
- Pregnant women,
- children,
- and diabetic's people
They are usually more vulnerable to Garcinia Cambogia. Knowing your health condition the cause of your weight gain will prevent bad effect that might happen.
If you are under medical treatment think again about using Garcinia Cambogia by consulting your doctor. If you see any minor sign such as: dizziness, diarrhea, headaches, upset stomach, and etc after several usages stop intake it till you can see a doctor to solve this problem.
Who Produce the Product and know its profil
Here what you should know first is whether they have connected with FDA and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Then, know how much and what kind of ingredient contain in Garcinia Cambogia.
According to Preuss & Clouatre in Garcinia Cambogia:
How to Optimize Effects, HCA takes two forms: free HCA,which is active but tends to be unstable, and the more stable but inactive form of HCA–HCA lactone, and If not handled properly, the active form has tendency to revert to the more stable but inactive form.
Later it will affect the form of Garcinia Cambogia like tablet, pills, capsule and liquid. If the balance or its bioavailability doesn't right, you might need to take more or less Garcinia Cambogia than it should be until you get the result.
What is the right dose?
Harry Preuss, a researcher and pathologist at Georgetown University, quoted in bodybuilding.com give good recommendation as follow:
- Choose a preparation that is at a minimum 50 percent HCA and is not composed wholly of calcium salts, make sure potassium (K) and/or magnesium (Mg) is present, if the product has a low lactone content, that is even better.
- Taking Garcinia Cambogia pill or liquid about 1-2 drops 30-60 minutes before each meal.
- Each pill commonly contains about 500mg. The dosage and the timing to use Garcinia Cambogia are varied; depend on the product brand and form, doctor recommendation, and the level of weight gain.
Follow these steps might maximize the use of Garcinia Cambogia as a weight loss supplement. Good luck!
