Description: If our oil addiction is so bad for us, why don't we kick the habit? Looking beyond the usual culprits—Big Oil, petro-states, and the strategists of empire—Lifeblood finds a deeper and more complex explanation in everyday practices of oil consumption in American culture. Those practices, Matthew T. Huber suggests, have in fact been instrumental in shaping the broader cultural politics of American capitalism.How did gasoline and countless other petroleum products become so central to our notions of the American way of life? Huber traces the answer from the 1930s through the oil shocks of the 1970s to our present predicament, revealing that oil's role in defining popular culture extends far beyond material connections between oil, suburbia, and automobility. He shows how oil powered a cultural politics of entrepreneurial life—the very American idea that life itself is a product of individual entrepreneurial capacities. In so doing he uses oil to retell American political history from the triumph of New Deal liberalism to the rise of the New Right, from oil's celebration as the lifeblood of postwar capitalism to increasing anxieties over oil addiction.Lifeblood rethinks debates surrounding energy and capitalism, neoliberalism and nature, and the importance of suburbanization in the rightward shift in American politics. Today, Huber tells us, as crises attributable to oil intensify, a populist clamoring for cheap energy has less to do with American excess than with the eroding conditions of life itself under neoliberalism.

Miami's Christmas Crime Wave: Man Set On Fire, Jewelry Store Owner Shot, Bank Robbed
via Wikimedia Commons
As the rest of the nation huddled up to some eggnog, crackling fires and repeat viewings of "It's A Wonderful Life," Miami baked under tropical skies and celebrated Christmas the best way we knew how: By going bananas with horrific crime sprees.
Between Christmas Eve and early Wednesday morning, all these things happened in the 305: A man was set on fire and brutally burned at a gas station, a North Miami jewelry store owner was shot and customers were terrorized and a sunglass-clad robber knocked over a bank in Aventura.
The crime wave started Christmas Eve inside the flea market at 13995 NW 7th Avenue, where several customers were checking jewelry inside a store. Five men burst in, their faces clad in hats and bandanas, and began spraying bullets around the store, hitting the owner and scattering customers to the ground.
The men smashed the jewelry cases, but amidst the chaos, apparently forgot to actually take any jewelry, the Miami Herald reports. Surveillance videos shows them returning moments later to stuff their bags with gold before running out the door.

The owner, whose name has not been released, is expected to survive. "It's a miracle no one else was injured or killed," Maj. Neal Cuevas, a spokesman for the North Miami Police Department, tells the Herald.
Less than 24 hours later, an even more horrific crime shook Miami. About half an hour before midnight on Christmas, 44-year-old Darrell Brackett pulled into the U-Gas at 4700 NW 27th Avenue in central Dade with his girlfriend.
The pair had just dropped off guests after a Christmas cookout at their home and needed gas to get home, the Herald reports.
Brackett paid for his gas, but before he could return to his van, someone doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. By the time an ambulance arrived, he'd suffered serious burns to 75 percent of his body. Police say they have no motive.
"This is a human being," Brackett's mother, Bridgett, tells the Herald. "This is not an animal."
A few hours later, early on Wednesday, another robbery hit in Aventura. Around 9:40 a.m., a man in a white hoodie, dark jeans and sunglasses entered the Mercantile Bank at 3001 Aventura Boulevard and demanded cash.
He walked out with an undisclosed amount, but not before surveillance cameras got a good picture of his face.

CNA salary in Vermont
Hawaii a beautiful place to live but is often extremely expensive. Some say it is the most expensive state to live in the United States as the cost of living is very high. Thanks to this, the CNA salary in Hawaii is extremely high. A Hawaiian CNA can expect a salary that ranges from $22,000 a year to $31,000 a year. The amount that a CNA makes is dependent on several factors such as experience, training, and the employer that the CNA chooses to work for.
Experience has a lot to do with the CNA salary in Hawaii. Employers usually want to hire a CNA who has experience over one that they will have to train. There are a few reasons for this. One is that time and money will be spent to train a new CNA. Another reason is that many companies have found that newly trained CNAs will go elsewhere once they become certified, leaving the company without a CNA. Even so, some nursing homes will training CNAs on the job in exchange for the CNA working for them for a certain period of time. This allows the company to have a CNA and the CNA is given valuable experience.
Entry-level CNAs are often at the bottom end of the CNA salary in Hawaii and for good reason. These CNAs do not have the experience needed to work without a lot of supervision or help while a CNA who has been working for a year or more is able to. Employers will offer higher salaries to attract more experience CNAs and those salaries will also include benefits. Usually an experienced CNA can expect to receive paid vacations and paid sick days as well as insurance and free continuing education. Working up the ladder is a way that CNAs gain experience which allows them to choose their employers and the better salaries later on in their career.
There are several places that a CNA can work. The CNA salary in Hawaii is influenced greatly by the employer that a CNA chooses. CNAs who are entry-level will have to work for employers who offer less pay and fewer benefits at first but as they gain experience they can work for other employers. Hospitals are greatly sought after positions because of the hours, benefits, and high pay while some CNAs prefer to work with school districts or the government thanks to the excellent salaries they can earn that way.

Petz Scholtus
Petz left Luxembourg in 2000 to study eco-design at Goldsmiths College in London. Her work took her to the UK, the small Tanzanian island Pemba, the Netherlands, New York City and to Barcelona where she has been living since 2004. There she met Graham Hill in 2005 and since then wrote almost 500 articles for TreeHugger. Some of her projects as an eco-designer are the R3project, the StuffBump and We Need More Trees cards. You can see more of her previous work on Pöko Design.
Petz believes in design for people, planet and profit, connecting people and eating local food. She loves simplicity, good design and fairness, making practical and fun things, bringing people together (the more the better), traveling, speaking 5.5 languages, scuba diving, open air parties, and her wormcompost on the balcony.
Since 2013 she is bringing all of this together under one project: yök Casa + Cultura. Casa stands for eco-friendly tourist accommodation and Cultura reflects the true local culture in Barcelona. yök (from the Catalan word "lloc" meaning "place") will be a social hub where visitors and locals come together to share good design and a sustainable lifestyle. The eco-renovation of the over 100-year-old space has started in February 2014 and yök hopes to open this summer.

Born in Edinburgh in 1906, the son of the city's Director of Education, John Innes Mackintosh Stewart wrote a highly successful series of mystery stories under the pseudonym Michael Innes. Innes was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he was presented with the Matthew Arnold Memorial Prize and named a Bishop Frazer's scholar. After graduation he went to Vienna, to study Freudian psychoanalysis for a year and following his first book, an edition of Florio's translation of Montaigne, was offered a lectureship at the University of Leeds. In 1932 he married Margaret Hardwick, a doctor, and they subsequently had five children including Angus, also a novelist. The year 1936 saw Innes as Professor of English at the University of Adelaide, during which tenure he wrote his first mystery story, 'Death at the President's Lodging'. With his second, 'Hamlet Revenge', Innes firmly established his reputation as a highly entertaining and cultivated writer. After the end of World War II, Innes returned to the UK and spent two years at Queen's University, Belfast where in 1949 he wrote the 'Journeying Boy', a novel notable for the richly comedic use of an Irish setting. He then settled down as a Reader in English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, from which he retired in 1973. His most famous character is 'John Appleby', who inspired a penchant for donnish detective fiction that lasts to this day. Innes's other well-known character is 'Honeybath', the painter and rather reluctant detective, who first appeared in 1975 in 'The Mysterious Commission'. The last novel, 'Appleby and the Ospreys', was published in 1986, some eight years before his death in 1994. 'A master - he constructs a plot that twists and turns like an electric eel: it gives you shock upon shock and you cannot let go.' - Times Literary Supplement.Review:
The pace is brisk, the adventures exciting and excitingly told, and above all he keeps to the very end the interesting ambiguity of the man from the sea.--New Statesman

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Review by TI_Four
"The Unfulfilled Grindfest: Combat Review"
For an RPG, Final Fantasy XIII-2, just like the first game, is nothing really unique when it comes to combat systems. A player controlled main character and AI controlled buddies with the ability to change strategy mid-fight has been around since the old Super Nintendo days. Though the idea is commonplace, FFXII-2 does have the potential to be fun, but a major flaw within this game which was not present during Final fantasy XIII strips that fate away; and rather cruelly in fact.
The battle system is almost exactly like Final Fantasy XIII with only one twist: your third fighter is a mix of three monsters (they call it a "Paradigm Pack") that you can switch in and out with Paradigm Shifts. Each monster is stuck to ONE combat role which means that between your three Paradigm Pack monsters, you can only have three combat roles for your Paradigms using the third party member. To balance this limitation, however, monster abilities and stats are customizable unlike your party members from Final Fantasy XIII and your other two party members in this game.
The fights can be pretty to watch, and even though AI controls most of what your party does, the fights CAN be engaging as buffing and debuffing as well as well placed knockdowns and juggles can REALLY turn the tide of a battle. The fun is short lived though as your party gets strong WAY too quickly and easily. This is the MAJOR downfall of the game. Just running around and collecting story objects and playing without any intent on leveling or building up your ranks, you can reach max level and tame almost every monster you come across. That is the first feeling of unfulfillment you encounter as you learn that you out-leveled the bosses by so much so quickly that the fights only last 30 seconds. Regular fights throughout the game will rarely be lasting more than 10 seconds once you get used to things...
That's okay though, Final Fantasy is known for it's secret challenge fights that you MUST be at peak performance for, right?
Again, you will feel unfulfilled. Naturally your main characters, Noel and Serah, will reach max level with little to no effort. Even if you skimp on the min-maxing and just level the two willy-nilly, their stats will be fine for taking down ANYTHING in the game. The biggest min-maxing option in the game, your monsters, actually make things worse by unballancing things to an extreme and WAY to easily. You can make the most powerful monster in the game (or cater a monster to ANY way that you want) in a matter of an hour or two. So with all of that said, your path to preparing your party is kind of meh...
Then, when it comes to fighting the powerful beasts themselves, the fights are too easy. You will probably die once, maybe twice if you are stubborn, but it only really takes ONE fight to understand what is going on and then after that it is not hard at all to design a special Paradigm to counter exactly what the monster is throwing at you perfectly. If you are missing the right monster for it, it only takes an hour to go out and get it and train it. Not exactly the challenge that we have come to expect from the Final Fantasy franchise.
The combat can be pretty and it keeps the interesting strategy that Final Fantasy XIII brought us, however it is WAY too easy to create a strong, unbalanced party in this game; so easy that you will most likely do it by accident.

text: The Colony Group, one of the country's largest RIA firms at $2.8 billion under management, tripled its assets and doubled accounts during the past seven years in no small part because the firm's "Path to Partnership" program recruits graduates as associate advisors and helps them progress through five clearly defined levels of increasing responsibility. Today roughly a third of Colony's 60 employees are partners, compared with 11 percent for other firms of similar size. 2"We get great people and we retain them because they have a clear, long-term career path," said Michael Nathanson, Chief Executive, President and Chairman of Colony Group. SignatureFD of Atlanta similarly created a three-step advisor progression. The firm says it has grown around 20 percent a year over the past five years to more than $2 billion in assets, a record of success that was fueled by the way it develops associates. "It's a big leap of faith, but the next generation is really stepping up. There are many examples of where they come in and do just as good a job as we would," SignatureFD co-founder and CEO Jeff Peller says. Let Go Adding an operations manager or chief operating officer isn't overhead: dedicated managers hold the fort so that the senior advisor can focus on strategy and attracting more assets. Consider that half of U.S. RIA firms generating $1.5 million in annual revenue have one or more dedicated managers, but among firms generating at least $3.5 million, 90 percent have professional management. 2 The challenge for principals is moving over and letting their new manager take the wheel. It is not always a comfortable transition for RIA principals, many of whom are entrepreneurs who wanted to be the boss and spent years building their own business. As a result many firms postpone hiring dedicated management until they get "bigger," but these firms may wait too long and see growth stall as bottlenecks form around the owner.

CLEVELAND: Ubaldo Jimenez delivered another noteworthy start Thursday night, so what else is new?
Nothing really. Jimenez wasn't the problem as the Indians attempted to vanquish the Astros at Progressive Field.
The offense staggered and sputtered against the team with the worst record in the major leagues, and it took an 11th-inning single by Matt Carson to finally make 2-1 winners of the Indians.
Yan Gomes began the rally with a one-out single, Asdrubal Cabrera mis-hit a twisting ground ball down the third-base line for a hit that put runners on first and second, and Mike Aviles drew a two-out walk to load the bases and set the stage for Carson.
"This is the pinnacle of my career," Carson said, "to do this for a playoff team like we are right now."
The Indians are not a playoff team quite yet, but Carson's hit kept them in the hunt. He was summoned from Columbus late in August and has done little but hit since, going 7-for-9 with one home run and three RBI.
"I didn't feel like it was do-or-die," Carson said. "If I get a hit, we win, but if I don't we're still in the game and can win it later. It was not a pressure at-bat to me."
Manager Terry Francona sent Carson into the game to play right field one inning earlier.
"We'll take any win we can get, but this was kind of nice," he said. "This kid was in Triple-A all year, and Trem [Columbus manager Chris Tremie] told me how professional he was and how he helped the younger guys."
So seldom has Jimenez been anything but effective that making opposing teams look bad has become routine. In seven innings Thursday night, he gave up one run, six hits and no walks, striking out nine.
The Astros didn't exactly pummel him when they scored their run. Marc Krauss led off the second inning with a single and the next two batters, Jose Altuve and Trevor Crowe (yes, that Trevor Crowe), delivered bloop hits to load the bases with nobody out.
Brett Wallace struck out, but L.J. Hoes produced a sacrifice fly that scored Krauss.
Jimenez wasn't seriously threatened again, partly because the Astros ran themselves out of two innings, but mostly because Jimenez was master of all he surveyed.
"We're leaning on Ubaldo, and I think he's enjoying it," Francona said. "He's been consistent with his stuff and that's past encouraging. It's exciting."
In his past 21 starts, Jimenez has given up more than three runs only once. Over that same span, he has allowed two or fewer earned runs 16 times.
"I feel confident every time I take the mound," Jimenez said. "I threw a lot of fastballs, but I used my other pitches, too. They're very aggressive at the plate, and they're looking for fastballs to drive."
If the Tribe latches onto one of the two American League wild-card spots, it's a good bet that Jimenez will start the one-game showdown that determines the qualifier for the Division Series.
The Indians are one-half game behind the Rays and Rangers, who are tied for the two wild-card berths. The Orioles trail the leaders by two games, and the Royals are three games back.
The Astros' sorry record — 101 losses coming in — testifies to their status as a club that is trying to rebuild virtually from scratch. However, their lowly status didn't make it any easier for the Tribe to score.
Starter Dallas Keuchel came into the game with a 6-9 record and 5.17 ERA, but he delivered seven strong innings, allowing one run, seven hits and one walk while striking out seven. He also benefitted from two double-play balls.
When the Indians scored in the first inning, it appeared that Keuchel might be in for a rough evening, but that was hardly the case.
After Michael Bourn made the first out of the inning, Nick Swisher doubled and scored on Jason Kipnis' single. It was the first of four hits for Swisher, who twice was erased on double plays.
It looked that the Tribe was in deep trouble with one out in the ninth, when Chris Perez loaded the bases on Krauss' second double of the night plus two walks. But Perez struck out Wallace and Hoes to end the threat. It was the fourth strikeout of the night for Wallace.
"We just kept plugging away," Francona said. "We never felt like we were frustrated."
Cody Clark led off the 10th with a double and was replaced by pinch-runner Jake Elmore, who committed a grievous pinch-running sin by getting himself picked off by Gomes. It was the third time the Astros ran themselves out of an inning.

I am a total sucker for photo realism and when I spotted the work of Australian artist; Jonathan Crowther, my "art alarm bells" started to ring!
Opening today at the Lethbridge Gallery in Brisbane, "Anything but Ordinary" is Jonathan's latest body of work, and exploration of everday objects (some of the most mundane that you would have never stopped to admire!) pulled into sharp focus in his large scale hyper realistic paintings.
"I like to bring attention to objects and material that everyone is familiar with and has some sort of relationship or connection with", Crowther says about his art work. "By focusing on the object and painting it at a grandiose scale, the everyday is deified or revered in some way"

Male grooming and hairstyles during the American Civil War
Post: #1
Male grooming and hairstyles during the American Civil War
Back then, the role of the barber was twofold in that not only was a barber a specialist in male grooming (including facial hair and head hair) but he was also a battlefield medic. Because of such need of medical personnel, the advances in both medical equipment and barber equipment technology during the Civil War were astounding and yielded greatly-positive consequences on the medical field and barber field in the years following the war.
Male grooming during the Civil War was of the utmost importance as no longer men were allowed to sport long hair or remain unclean. Whenever possible, men would shower, shave and get a haircut. Furthermore, men were recommended to wear their hair in hairstyles that at no time would impair their eyesight in the battlefield. The Civil War certainly revolutionized men's grooming among the many other aspects of a male's daily living.
Men's hairstyles and hair grooming during the Civil War
The men's hairstyles typical of the Civil War consisted of slicked back hairstyles that were styled with pomade or pure lard. The hair was instructed to be kept short although some hair length was allowed to help combat the cold. Facial hair was allowed although only those higher ranking officials were allowed lengthy beards.
The hair of the men in the Civil War was a major change in tactical warfare from the previous worldwide wars. For example, the wars in Europe prior to the American Civil War were fought with long hair, and in fact long hair was a valuable trait sought after in solders primarily for three reasons:
Barbering hair products during the Civil War
As said, barbers were deployed in good numbers to the battlefield during the Civil War; their tasks were to treat the wounded and also ensure that hygiene was kept at a bare minimum. Indeed, the barbering tools right as the Civil War progressed became more and more sophisticated as well as more convenient and useful for the hectic setting of a war zone. Outside of the medical tools a barber needed to treat wounded soldiers, a barber would have the following barbering tools and products with him at all times: razors, hair clippers, soap and pomade or hair grease.
Razors became safer and longer lasting which allowed for a razor to be used on more men. While cuts did still occur, barbers soon learned to adapt to the stressful environment of the battlefield and would be able to shave mean with greater efficiency.
The shaving was done with basic soaps consisting of sheep fat, also known as wool fat, and for which the scientific name is 'lanolin' - despite lanolin not being a textbook type of fat due to lanolin lacking glycerides. Lather was created by vigorous stirring with a brush and then the barber would shave the soldiers face in the barbershop.
Hair clippers:
Hair clippers advanced greatly during the civil war. Prior to the Civil War, hair clippers were barber tools that were almost unheard of. However, during the Civil War the hair clipper as a men's hairstyling tool was used at unprecedented scaled and when allowed, the hair clipper was used as a hair styling tool to give men haircuts that were a bit more lively.
In fact, the military barbershops of the time during the Civil War were places for the soldiers to relax when not engaging in battle and one of the preferred passing-time activities of men were to get haircuts or to have their hair neatly styled by the barber.
Hair products:
The hair products used consisted of basic pomades made up of pureed apple and bear lard (see the use of pomade from the same website as the history of hair clippers) although in some cases pure lard (from pig fat) was used instead of pomade as both pomade and grease achieved the same styling effect. The goal was to slick the hair back so that the hair would not impair the eyesight of the soldier, yet maintain enough length to keep the soldier's head warm and even protect the skull from abrasive injuries.
Please continue your reading in the next post below.

RE: Male grooming and hairstyles during the American Civil War
Truly, the Civil War caused a massive revolutionizing in male grooming. For starters, the Civil War introduced a strong element of personal hygiene and cleanliness in men, and the clothing of men became more sophisticated as the textile industry created to at first make the uniforms was then shifted after the war ended to manufacture civilian clothing.
In terms of shaving, neatly trimmed moustaches became the social norm after the war. The usual facial hair style inherited to civilians from the war was a clean face with a moustache reaching the edges of the mouth or what is known as a classic moustache.
In terms of men's hairstyles, the trend in men shifted towards short to medium length hairstyles that were of neat appearance and always slicked whether back or to the side. In fact this trend of slicked back hairstyles in men continued in the United States well into the 1930s right until the Second World War. Due to the ease of slicking the hair back, men with straight hair would leave their hair at medium lengths whereas men with curly hair would keep the hair short for ease of slicking back. Black men, with their typical tightly curled hair, would simply keep their hair at short regular lengths, shorter than their white fellows with less curly hair.
Lastly with regards to barbershops and barber products, the barbershop as a business skyrocketed in popularity. Barbershops after the Civil War became social places for men to gather for hours and every town no matter their size would have at least one barbershop. The barber products became more common place, with shaving razors being easily available for men to buy. On the other hand, hair clippers became even more modernized, allowing barbers to cut and shape men's hair more efficiently and with greater gusto. Compared with the hair clippers of the early 20th century, the hair clippers used in the Civil War were primitive and inefficient, and the hair clipper continued to be modernized at rapid rates into what is today's the common hair clipper.
Conclusion of the men's hairstyles and grooming of the American Civl War
As a barber myself coming from a lineage of barbers who served in the Civil War, I have heard many tales of what being a barber was during this crucial time of our motherland. As dramatic as it may sound, the art of barbering and the overall male grooming trends of the 20th century owe much to the Civil War and to the brave men who fought in this war.
In this modern day and age in the Unites States, the current male grooming trends is going classic and the same slicked back men's hairstyles of the war are becoming trendy again some 150 years ago! I constantly see men with slicked back hairstyles and the use of pomade is at an all time high. In fact yours truly has such a male hairstyle and uses pomade as intended for the battlefield!
