Gotta love them onions. Dale, you captured the marriage between DuhWon and our so called free press.

Thanks Odie,
Ol' Joe just can't help himself. I think he's at his best when he's trying to be one of us. Down to the wire now, this is it.

The media and Hollywood -- two of the biggest whores strolling Okenya Boulevard today.

The "Las Vegas Review Journal" just did a SCATHING editorial on Obama's handling of Benghazi and other things. Maybe the media is starting to wake up.
Excellent Art, Dale. My heart is already pounding in anticipation of November 6. I'll see you then.

WOW! One of your most powerful... and it is because of that hand-print. I couldn't get that print out of my mind for days after seeing it. One count of the hajjis killed by these two NAVY SEALS was 60. Even if half that, these guys are not only heroes but contributed to the net justice in the world... even when their own administration tries to keep the status-quo, and some would argue add to the net evil in the world (explicitly or implicitly).
- November 4, 2012 at 6:22 AM
Yes, Papa, it's that handprint -- I don't think any of us are ever going to be able to forget the handprint. Those two SEALS alone did more on behalf of this country than its Emperor and His New Clothes. And Biden: Tells the father of one of Lady Liberty's fallen war dead that the man has testicles the size of cue balls. That's what the father of a dead son would want to hear, isn't it? Real class. Pick more onions, Biden...
And now it's Monday, the 5th. One more day to go. And I wonder what it will be like, given I live in a swing state and days ago they found some of the electronic voting machines changing Romney votes to Obama votes. Oddly, our Secretary of State didn't seem much concerned. What about ALL the early-voting ballots then? How many have been tainted? It seems there is no end to this corroding effect on the American people by this Marxist alien African that occupies our White House. I go into the voting booth tomorrow with great worry there has been voter fraud. Nobody wants to hear it, but I sincerely believe Obama is the forerunner to the Antichrist. Satan needs one more term to finish us all off, and he's doing his damndest to see his minion get it. We are fighting the Devil in this election!
Well, it's all in the Good Lord's hands tomorrow. He will decide for us, ultimately, what is to be. Bless you all, friends and fellow citizens. See you in spirit at the voting booth.

We have a leader unworthy of his people. Hope we can fix it tomorrow.
- November 5, 2012 at 7:44 AM
Dale, I believe we have done all we can do. It is time now to rest a bit before our work tomorrow. Remember one thing, though: If the puppet of the Great Deceiver is to garner a second term, it will not make us go away. Our battle will have just begun. We are brothers in arms and we will go into the battle together. Remember we fly under the banner of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, our first allegiance, and the Good Lord takes care of His own. As Ronald Reagan once said: "Evil is powerless when the good are unafraid." God bless, my man, and keep up that artwork that speaks Truth.
- November 5, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Greetings, Dale!
Just wanted to drop by on THIS, the turning point for our country and THANK YOU for helping me through these past several weeks when I first discovered you and your art.
I have NO DOUBT in my mind that even with all the dead and double voting, Obama will NOT be able to overcome the zeal of an awakened giant. I guess we have that to thank him for, at least.
Landslide for Mitt! 300+

The ex-wife in the highly publicized Texas Frozen Embryo Custody case of Roman v. Roman was "devastated" upon hearing the news that the U.S. Supreme Court denied her the right to legal custody of several frozen embryos she had created with her ex-husband prior to their divorce. Augusta Roman, 46, has said that the embryos are her last chance to become pregnant. Her ex-husband, Randy Roman asserts that he does not want to create any children with her after their long and bitter divorce.
Augusta Roman's local attorney, Becky Reitz, said her client was devastated by the refusal of the Texas and U.S. supreme courts to hear her case.
"She just bawled," Reitz said. "She cried her eyes out."
Randy Roman's attorney, Greg Enos was characteristically understated and said his client was "pleased" with the news and that Mr. Roman was "hopeful that this long ordeal is over".
It looks however that Randy Roman will have to endure more before the case is finally over. Augusta has pledged that she is going to exhaust every legal remedy- no matter how long the odds or how much it costs.
"I told her the only thing we can do is file a motion for reconsideration and it will cost $1,000 just for the printing. She goes, 'I don't care", said Becky Reitz.
Augusta Roman's last legal option is to motion the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider it's decision. The long shot motion is a final desperate gambit. The U.S. Supreme Court almost never grants such motions, and such motions usually argue that something new has happened since the Court considered the case.
If the U.S. Supreme Court denies the motion, Augusta Roman will be out of legal options. If that happens, the embryos will never be implanted. The embryos will remain frozen under a protective order until the end of the case. After all legal remedies are exhausted, the embryos will likely be destroyed by the fertility clinic unless the parties agree to have them disposed of differently.

For a quick install, simply copy majax.html and majax.js to the /screens directory of your III installation.
Other III libraries can use this technology, which has been released by Virginia Tech under the LGPL.
Upcoming Version from TBD, 2010 majax.html majax.jsChanges:
(6/2/2010): Use location.protocol to support use via https:// sites.
Fixed syndetics book cover display to use ISBN from record so that it will work with all search types.
(10/8/2010): Load majax frame on document.ready rather than waiting until window.load fires. This should speed up loading majax on many pages. Duplicates some code taken from jQuery. Note that Majax is still not dependent on any libraries.
(10/8/2010): Auto-detect .ac.uk and .edu.au domains and adjust superdomain accordingly.
(10/8/2010): Added support for ERM record information via the e100040 identifier.
Version from Apr 2, 2008 majax.html majax.jsChanges:
Added majax-showholdingslocations class, courtesy of email@example.com
Fixed majax-linktocatalog class when bibrecord linking syntax is used. Note that MAJAX does not allow a checkdigit when ".b" is used.
Version from Feb 17, 2008 majax.html majax.jsChanges:
Introduces caching. MAJAX will now fetch every record only once from the III server, no matter how many SPANs refer to it. Because of this, we increased the number of requests sent per second to 100 (5 requests are sent every 50ms) until all SPANs are processed. Previously, each SPAN caused a request to be sent to the server, even if multiple SPANs referred to the same record. This change was somewhat involved, so be sure to thoroughly test it when upgrading.
Version from Feb 16, 2008 majax.html majax.jsChanges:
Fixed loading issue on Safari. Thanks for William Hicks for pointing it out.
Be quiet about non-existing MARC subfields rather than emitting 'undefined'.
Version from Dec 6, 2007 majax.html majax.jsChanges:
Erik Still provided a patch to allow Majax to run from both the staging port (2082) and the live port.
Version from July 27, 2007 majax.html majax.jsChanges:
Now support embedded the search terms inside the <span> tag. In this case, use a "*" instead of the search term after the i, o, t, or .b See the test items marked 'inlined' in the demo for examples.
Support for message customization. Looks at majaxcustomize.js and how it is included in the demo as an example.
Changes: MAJAX now also supports 'o57207630' for OCLC number in the title attribute.
Slides from the IUG 2008 talk. These slides are an updated version of the 2007 talk, containing information about all updates and additions made since.
Slides from the IUG 2007 talk. These slides contain brief instructions on how to use MAJAX. They also have a number of screen shots showing it in action.
Just like you normally would. Simply add either a style= attribute or use a class and add it to MAJAX's classes. MAJAX will ignore those styles, and the browser will ignore the MAJAX classes. For instance, if you have declared a class 'booktitle' in your style sheet, you could use <span class="majax-marc-245-a majax-marc-245-b booktitle" ... > ... to ensure that 245$a and 245$b are formatted in this style.
If you prefer to use ids in your style sheets, add an id= attribute.
You have to write a little bit of JavaScript to achieve that. Create a new file majaxcustomize.js. Include this file via a <script> element in the page in which MAJAX should work. Here's an example majaxcustomize.js. Note that majaxcustomize.js does not have to be in your /screens directory, it can be hosted anywhere.
Then, define a number of variables (explained at the beginning of majax.js). For instance, to change the message '1 copy is available' to 'One copy is available', define
var singleCopyStatus = "One copy is %s";Other strings include noCopiesFound, multipleCopyStatus, itemAvailableMsg, noCopyHeld, singleItemUnavailable, multipleItemsUnavailable, and electronicBookMsg. If your catalog doesn't refer to available items as available, set isAvailableRegex to a regular expression that matches your catalog's message.
A. We do not think so. We believe MAJAX should work even if your record do not display a link to the MARC record, as long as the III system returns a MARC record when asked. This is based on testing with Danbury, which does not have the MARC display enabled.
Because IE does not support data: URLs. Use majax-endnote or majax-endnote-switch instead if IE support is important to you.
For more information and to report bugs, contact email@example.com
Other meanings of MAJAX include Gérard Majax and Major Accident plans in UK hospitals.

When The Biggest Loser star Tara Costa crossed the IRONMAN Lake Placid finish line last month, she proved she was no one-and-done IRONMAN. With her first finish now two years behind her—she was a celebrity athlete at Kona 2011—Costa demonstrated in Lake Placid that she's more than a Kona finisher. She's a bona fide triathlete.
During her 18-week tenure on Season 7 of NBC's hit series in 2009, Costa inspired millions of people with her 155-pound weight loss journey. She also made show history by winning a record-setting eight physical challenges. These days, Costa has been busy completing her Masters in Physical Education, coaching a small handful of triathlon and weight loss clients, touring the country on speaking tours and working with her Inspire Change Foundation. It's a very different path from the one she was on five years ago, with a career in finance and 300-plus pounds on her frame.
Costa felt a sense of calm going into Lake Placid, her second full IRONMAN. "The first one was really about doing something for the first time because I believe in leading by example," she says. "I made it very public, as if to say 'listen, if I'm going to attempt this, and I'm scared. If you don't take a chance, you're never going to experience something great.'"
This time around Costa didn't tell people she was doing the race until just days before. "The first time I was so hyper-focused. Nothing was getting in my way. This time it was all about finding balance—trying to train the right way without losing my life," she says.
We caught up with the bubbly and busy Costa a few weeks after IRONMAN Lake Placid to hear her story and get her tips on striking a balance in training and life.
IRONMAN.com: What inspired you to do a second IRONMAN after Kona?
Tara Costa: My approach after I've done something new is to try and help others achieve it. It's not only that I've done IRONMAN races now, I'm a triathlon coach and a running coach. Now it's about walking the talk, which is the best way to lead. I will continue to do these things as long as my body lets me. I believe that establishing goals is paramount in sustaining a healthy lifestyle. It may not be what works for everyone, but it works for me.
So there are more in your future?
I know I'll continue to do more races—I'd also love to see the world with this. I'd love to race IRONMAN New Zealand. When you're on your bike you see things in such a different light than when you're driving in a car. I'm a back-of-the-packer so I get to see a hell of a lot more than the fast people, too. One guy at Lake Placid sent me an email that he'd caught me singing on my bike. I call it "tri country." I sing about the people around me and just make up my own music. It's how I enjoy my day and keep a smile on my face. That's what makes the day so special: the other athletes around you doing something purely awesome—pushing your body to the limit and saying "we're all going to get through this."
When it comes to building goals for IRONMAN, it's tricky, because I want to enjoy the day. For me it's about being out there and doing something that's a big deal. It's not about going sub-13. Right now it's not so much about the competitive aspect, it's wanting to have good races, look at the beautiful countryside and meet people along the way.
Did you have any interest in triathlon before "The Biggest Loser?"
No way. I would've thought those people were nuts! It's a testament to the fact that once you start being active and looking for new challenges, as we did on the show, things just appear. Lake Placid was the first IRONMAN I ever saw. I was astounded at the resilience of these people who were bigger than me, older than, me or only had one limb and were running on prosthetics. I couldn't believe the empowerment I walked away from it with. I remember thinking, "why can't I be that person crossing that finish line?"
When I was racing last month I saw two girls with the number 18 on their calves. It made me think "what was I doing when I was 18?" I just think that's awesome that they've already got a lifetime activity, something they can do on their own time or with other people. It's so versatile. Triathlon showed me that I'm an athlete. It showed me that I'm no longer an overweight, obese chick anymore. I'm an IRONMAN.
What lessons from The Biggest Loser do you carry with you into triathlon?
Every single week we were placed into a challenge—something you wouldn't normally in your right mind want to do, but you have to because you're on a television show and you don't have a choice! I really had to face my fears, especially of heights. This is something I hear all the time: "I can't swim in the open water that's just too scary." In "Biggest Loser," I had to tightrope and zip-line my way to the end of a ravine about five stories high. Once you do it you realize it's not so bad.
Another lesson was fine-tuning my nutrition. I was diligent when it came to writing down what I ate on the show—that's how I took off 155 pounds. When it comes to nutrition as the fourth discipline of triathlon, it's similar: knowing what I'm taking in at all times, knowing how many calories my body can handle, how much sodium I need, and fine-tuning that. In weight loss there's a number you're going to find when it comes to calories, that's your sweet spot, as Jillian (Michaels) calls it. It's very similar in triathlon—how many calories can you handle on the bike or the run? That's your sweet spot.
You talked about how competing at Lake Placid this year was more about balance, and fitting the training into your daily life. What advice do you have for triathlete that are maybe scaling things back, or perhaps entering a less competitive phase in their racing?
You're not going to get in every workout, so don't beat yourself up about it or try to make it up later. Triathletes are so hard on themselves. We're super type-A and have high hopes for ourselves. It's learning to roll with the punches—if you're not going to achieve something that day, let it roll off your back and not affect the next day's workout.
What's your favorite workout or training session in the week? What do you look forward to?
By far not swimming! I'll be honest, when I trained for this IRONMAN, and also for Kona, I trained with fins. But right now I like the idea of going out on my bike and riding for what seems like forever. I think that mentally you have to prepare yourself for that. On a run you can be done in three hours, max. It's just a different type of mental preparation you need for the bike, which helps me prepare more than any of my other workouts.
What are some of your tricks for eating healthy all week?
I preach to my clients the importance of having a repertoire of three to five go-to meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I try to make those meals on a Sunday or Monday night so that I'm prepped for three days. But then on Wednesday, when all the food is gone, it comes down to what's quick and easy so you don't have to go to the local pizza place. I know in the morning I can throw my egg whites and oatmeal into the microwave. My vegetables are already cut up for the week, so it's easy to throw things into the skillet. For my lunches, I try to make sure I have things readily available, like my avocado deviled eggs, or tuna fish and cucumbers. (Don't miss Costa's recipe for Avocado Deviled Eggs). Set aside time on a Sunday evening to hard boil eggs, cut up your vegetables, etc. You can still fold your laundry, watch "Mad Men," whatever. It's about creating that routine.
What inspired you to become a coach yourself, and what do you think are important things to look for in a coach?
I became a coach because I want to help people not only lose weight, but to find a sport they're comfortable in. With a coach it's important that you find someone that you look up to. Knowing that if you feed them a line, they'll be able to read into that that and ask you why you're slacking off, or whether it's the real deal. It's also important that they care about your success and understand you as a person.
What's your ideal lazy day?
Taking my dogs to the dog park, getting a mani and pedi and, if I'm lucky, a massage. Also, making myself breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's so easy to just go out all the time and I like to prepare my own food and try something new. I'll have a glass of red wine with dinner and watch a movie or go out to a concert—I love country music. Really, just hanging out and being with people who make me happy.

The search for high-strength, low-density materials is unending. In particular, cables and ropes are good candidates for a particular combination of high tensile strength, flexibility, and low density. Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, there has been considerable interest in producing cables from them, but, there are many scientific barriers that prevent the manufacture of pure carbon nanotube fibers. On the other hand, a good portion of the high strength properties of carbon nanotubes can be obtained when they are used in combination with polymers to manufacture a composite fiber.
Even these fibers have their problems, though. For instance, carbon nanotubes are graphite-like, so the nanotube is very strong along its length but the tubes slip along each other very easily. To reduce the slippage, adjacent tubes need to be in contact over the maximum possible cross-section, which means that the nanotubes need to be aligned, densely packed, and squeezed so that they are oval-shaped. When these conditions are not met, the resulting fibers tend to be less flexible and have low tensile strength—neither of which is desirable.
Recent research, published in ScienceExpress, shows the potential of these fibers when manufactured correctly. The researchers used a mixture of an aerogel polymer and carbon nanotubes as the source material for the fiber. The fiber was created by pulling the polymer and the researchers found that if it was pulled sufficiently fast, the carbon nanotubes tended to align along the axis of the fiber. The resulting low density material consists mainly of gas, aerogel, and carbon nanotubes, aligned along their axes. The gas is removed and the fiber compressed during post processing, making a dense material.
As with all things, the proof is in the testing, and the results were mixed. Some of the fibers performed extremely well and had the highest tensile strength-to-weight ratio reported. Other fibers were on a par with results published by other labs and some were just plain bad. The dominating factor in the performance was attributed to the presence of defects such as misaligned nanotubes and density variation. The defect rate was quite high, since the tested fibers were only a few millimeters in length.
Despite the variation in the results, these are very promising. Even the worst fibers performed on a par with current commercial fibers and, if researchers can iron out some of the processing problems, a very strong fiber will result. This will be nowhere near the strength of an individual carbon nanotube, of course, but it is still very good.

Ava's birthday is tomorrow - YEAH!!! Ryan's Grandpa is always the first to get a birthday card in the mail . ..with a balloon in it. I always have told Ryan it never quite feels like my birthday until I have my balloon from Grandpa Prevo. Ava got her first birthday balloon this week in the mail and has been loving playing with it!
Ryan was downstairs cleaning up the basement the other night with Ava when all of a sudden he turned around to find she had climbed up on the rocking chair and was just sitting there quietly looking at him like she'd just been waiting for him to notice. She seemed so grownup!
and what's blogging without some reality?!?!

blogging frenzy #3
so I mentioned we've been busy?
Earlier this week, Ava and I got to spend a couple days in chicago with my mom, sister and her kids. Ava was a trouper with naps all over the place, being man handled and toted around. It was so fun to be able to see her enjoy fun experiences alongside her cousins.
The first day we went to Shedd aquarium. I was prepared for Ava to be disinterested. Not so! She loved seeing the animals and trying to get up close.
Day 2 we went to the American Girl Store! What fun! I thought Ava would love all the dolls and I wasn't wrong! The first doll she saw, she started crying when I picked her up to move on.
Our yummy brunch! If Ava seems slightly dazed, it may be because nap time should have occurred an hour ago! : )
The birthday girls! Ava on the 9th, Addy on the 13th!
Addy and her doll celebrating her birthday. The pictures of Ava and her cake are on my mom's camera so I'll have to get those another time. (let's just say my daughter likes chocolate mousse)
someone LOVED the bitty babies.
What fun - thanks for such a special few days mom!

blogging frenzy #2
Ava has been more than busy as well these past few weeks . . ..
Ava finished up her swimming lessons too - she loved them! Daddy got to come watch her on the last day and took a few photos for us. Here she is practicing jumping off the side.
I wasn't sure how she would do with Daddy nearby and OUT of the pool (if she'd want out to be by him). Nope. Instead my ham of a daughter would keep looking over at him in between activities and wink as if to say, "HEY DAD - LOOK AT ME!!!!!!" It was pretty cute.
Ava also got to go to her first "Gramm House." So she didn't get to enjoy the Schawn's but she did have fun in the pool. We'll try the ice cream out next year.

Blogging frenzy #1
I know . . .I"ve been slacking. Life has been a little crazy lately (but in good ways). But since I've been hearing about my lack of blog posting, I've decided to go into a blogging frenzy about our last few weeks of life. The good news about blogging is that when I have throughly bored you, you can go to someone else's site! : )
and so it begins . . .
A few weeks ago Ryan and I went back up to Michigan for my good friend Jill's wedding. The ceremony, reception, and (of course!) the bride were all beautiful. I should have taken a picture of the church but didn't. Here's a couple snapshots.
And more old friends!
I figured between the three of us, there probably isn't much about Jill that isn't known! : )
The gorgeous bride
The happy couple
I couldn't be happier for them - now if they'd just move closer instead of further away! : )

By Evan Girvetz and Frank Lowenstein
Whether you look globally or locally, the last several months featured heat, heat and more heat. And by looking at weather station records over the past 60 years, researchers led by renowned NASA scientist Jim Hansen show this is part of a new trend toward much warmer summers.
Extremely hot summers — warmer than virtually ever occurred during a base period of 1951–1980 — have occurred across more than 10% of the world's lands during the past several years. This means that extremely hot temperatures are more than 10 times more likely to occur now than 50 years ago.
And we are simply not prepared for these temperatures!
You have likely felt the intense heat this year, which has broken tens of thousands of heat records across the U.S. Heat like this is deadly: the heat has killed dozens of people across the U.S., including more than 60 heat-related deaths over a two-week period earlier in the summer.
But do you also recall the heat wave in Texas and Oklahoma just last year that killed 100,000 cattle and 500 million trees? The Russian heat wave two years ago that killed 56,000 people? The European heat wave in 2003 that killed an estimated 70,000 people? Hansen's paper indicates that these events may be climate-change related, and that people throughout the world are now at increased risk from heat-related disasters.
Other impacts of prolonged heat and drought are also a major societal concern. The hot period from March through July contributed to a failed cherry crop in Michigan, and the lowest corn yields in almost two decades, which are likely to cause higher prices and rippling problems for food and energy supplies.
What can we do to protect our health, food and water systems and our economy?
There are things that can be done to prepare, but it takes a combination of good information, local engagement and action, and supportive national policies to help implement innovative solutions that can reduce risks of global warming and climate change to people and communities.
First, local communities and businesses need good information about what types of impacts are likely to occur in specific places. The Nature Conservancy is working with the World Bank to translate future projections of temperature and precipitation into impacts on local extremes of heat, water availability, flood and drought stress, and agricultural productivity. This work will soon be made available via the World Bank's Climate Knowledge Portal to help inform corporate and government plans for infrastructure, energy provision, disaster preparedness, and other needs. In the meantime, you can learn about general changes in temperature and rainfall in your home region — or anyplace on the globe — by visiting Climate Wizard.
Second, local communities need to be brought together to understand the risks they face and determine how they will prepare and respond to future conditions. The Nature Conservancy has been working with communities throughout the world to prepare for climate risks. We have joined with communities in the Southwest U.S. to understand their risk of wildfire and drought from hot temperatures, and the impacts both have on their water supply.
Third, we need innovative solutions to protect vulnerable communities from these impacts. Nature conservation can provide solutions that help protect people and places at risk and build resilience to rapidly warming temperatures. For example:
- In the Southwestern U.S., thinning of small crowded trees to create a more natural and healthy forest likely saved many homes and buildings from being burned down in Arizona's largest fire on record in 2011.
- Trees are being planted in cities to help provide shade that cools homes and saves energy.
- And in Chiapas, Mexico, The Nature Conservancy works with local ranchers to plant trees that provide shade for cattle, as well as protect water supplies and the grass they need for forage, during hot and dry conditions.
There is no time to wait to prepare for extreme heat impacts. We are now seeing that 10% of the earth is experiencing extreme heat each year, and this is almost certainly going to increase in the future. It will take a concerted effort to support local communities in preparing and responding to our changing planet. The risks are real and the stakes are high — we can act, but we must do it soon.
Evan Girvetz is Senior Scientist for The Nature Conservancy's Global Climate Change Program. Frank Lowenstein is Climate Adaptation Strategy Leader for The Nature Conservancy.

Café De Paris Cocktail
The White of 1 Egg
3 Dashes Anisette (1 Barspoon Anis del Mono)
1 Teaspoonful of Fresh Cream
1 Glass of Dry Gin (2 oz Boodles Gin)
Shake well and strain into medium size glass.
Kind of underimpressed with this one. Maybe I overshook and it got a bit diluted? Anyway, I felt like the anis could have been a bit stronger, and the cocktail a bit sweeter.
Cafe de Paris is a famous nightclub in London.
The Prince of Wales was a well known guest in the early days, somehow insuring the club's success. Hmmm… Wait a sec. Seems familiar somehow… Something about Prince Harry and a treasure box, Mahiki tiki bar becoming successful in London. Do the British never get tired of these characters?
Anyway, my favorite story from the Cafe de Paris website:
In 1939 the Café was allowed to stay open even though theatres and cinemas were closed by order. People gossiped their way through the blackout and the Café was advertised as a safe haven by Martin Poulson, the maitre d', who argued that the four solid storeys of masonry above were ample protection. This tragically proved to be untrue on March 8th 1941 when two 50K landmines came through the Rialto roof straight onto the Café dance floor. Eighty people were killed, including Ken 'Snakehips' Johnston who was performing onstage at the time and Poulson whose words had come back to haunt him. Had the bomb been dropped an hour later, the casualties would have been even higher.
The Ken Snakehips Johnson Story. I'll take that over a story about the English monarchy any day.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Here is my weekly gasoline chart update from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Gasoline prices at the pump, rounded to the penny, rose for the ninth week after 13 weeks of decline: the average for Regular rose seven cents and premium six cents over the past week. They are both up 61 cents from their interim weekly lows in the December 19th EIA report.
As I write this, GasBuddy.com shows seven states, Hawaii, California, Illinois, Washington, Connecticut, Michigan, Oregon, plus DC, with the average price of gasoline above $4. Another four states are close behind -- above $3.90 (New York, Alaska, Wisconsin and Indiana).
How far are we from the interim high prices of 2011 and the all-time highs of 2008? Here's a visual answer.
The next chart is a weekly chart overlay of West Texas Intermediate Crude, Brent Crude and unleaded gasoline end-of-day spot prices ( GASO). WTIC closed today down 0.47 from a week ago (Monday, of last week). GASO hit its intraday high at 3.43 on April 3rd. It closed today at 2.95, unchanged from Monday of last week. As the chart illustrates, Brent Crude has become a better gauge than WTIC for the behavior of gasoline prices.
The volatility in crude oil and gasoline prices has been clearly reflected in recent years in both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE). For additional perspective on how energy prices are factored into the CPI, see What Inflation Means to You: Inside the Consumer Price Index.
The chart below offers a comparison of the broader aggregate category of energy inflation since 2000, based on categories within Consumer Price Index (commentary here).
Here are some additional commentaries related to gasoline prices:

Skidmore isn't just a place for you to live and study.
It's a dynamic residential community that encourages you to get involved, to pursue your passions and to find new ones.
Whether you engage in one of Skidmore's nearly 100 student clubs or serve as a residential advisor, a varsity athlete or intramural participant, a student gardener or a volunteer in a local school, you will find opportunities to use your creativity and round yourself out while giving back to the larger community.
All this on a picturesque campus including apartment-style residences with mountain
views, a popular dining hall known for its variety, cool arts venues such as the Tang
Teaching Museum and Art Gallery and the 250-acre North Woods, our own natural laboratory
and spiritual getaway. See our cool, interactive campus tour, as well as tours of Saratoga Springs and our
science labs and arts studios.
Student clubs and organizations

Whether you're overlooking Saratoga Springs from the top floor of Jonsson Tower or studying in a window seat in McClellan Hall, your living environment will play a role in your academic, social and interpersonal growth while at Skidmore.
Student Government Association
The Student Government Association (SGA) is an important vehicle to help you realize your creative future while at Skidmore. Hosting and coordinating events as well as securing funding for internships and student clubs, the SGA supports the creative endeavors of the student body on campus.

Saratoga Springs is an incredible place to spend four years. A 10-minute walk from Skidmore puts you in the heart of a downtown brimming with galleries, clubs, shops (funky and major retail), coffeehouses and great restaurants. Legendary folk club Caffè Lena, where Bob Dylan and Ani DiFranco performed, is a local favorite. So is Esperanto, co-founded by a Skidmore professor. (Take a look at our Saratoga Springs virtual tour.)

The Paintings Conservation Laboratory
Paintings Conservation
The Paintings Conservation Laboratory is responsible for the treatment of easel paintings in the Foundation's collection. This collection is primarily composed of paintings from the American Colonial and Early National periods and works of the same date from the United Kingdom and Europe. Also found in the collection are diverse works of American folk art produced from the eighteenth century to the present. The paintings lab accommodates treatments that require working in both horizontal and vertical orientations. Several tables support moisture treatments and some structural work while easels assist with viewing vertical work from different angles during treatment. In addition, a vacuum hot table enables the application of controlled even heat and pressure to do additional structural work. Microscopes in the lab allow both close examination of a painting's surface and scrutiny of samples that can inform treatment.

So Pretty. Flowers are so uplifting mid week. The blue columbine is gorgeous. My columbine did not fill out so well this year.ReplyDelete
Seeing flowers any time of the year is nice, so keep them coming. I wish I had a foxglove now, they are so elegant.ReplyDelete

The Internet is abuzz with the latest prognostications about "the coming evangelical collapse." This is the substance of three blog posts over at Internet Monk (a.k.a. Michael Spencer), who predicts said collapse in ten years. When his thoughts got picked up and condensed by the Christian Science Monitor and then the Drudge Report — well, you can just imagine the electronic excitement.
The title of Spencer's posts spoils the ending; still, many of the details are interesting. I've made many of the same observations in this column. For example, Spencer writes, "Expect evangelicalism as a whole to look more and more like the pragmatic, therapeutic, church-growth-oriented megachurches that have defined success. The determination to follow in the methodological steps of numerically successful churches will be greater than ever. The result will be, in the main, a departure from doctrine to more and more emphasis on relevance, motivation and personal success." My only caveat here is to wonder if this is a future or present reality.
Some predictions I warm up to because of my own biases, but in the end, they don't seem to be founded on anything substantive. For example, "Two of the beneficiaries of the coming evangelical collapse will be the Roman Catholic and Orthodox communions. Evangelicals have been steadily entering these churches in recent decades and that trend will continue." Spencer might have added Anglicanism as a beneficiary. As an Anglican, I wish it were true. But in my experience, the number of evangelicals entering these communions is not as great as those leaving these communions for evangelical faith. I don't know of any studies that have, or even can, measure this phenomenon accurately. So we might have to ...1

This is my first time using this board and am wondering if it is normal to have a lot of anxiety about law school before I start. I really am not sure whether or not Law School is right for me. I know how difficult it is going to be (my gf is a current attorney and my brother is a current 2L) and that is not what is giving me anxiety (maybe a little that I wont do well). Mainly I am having anxiety over whether or not Law School is right for me and once I commit it will solidify my future is some sense. I am very outgoing and social, good with numbers and enjoy negotiating and traveling. I'm 26 and really need to figure out what im doing. Ive already put deposits down at law schools and not sure whether or not I should defer or not. Ive never worked in business and might have a false vision of what it might be like. I worked at a law firm for a year and a half and did enjoy it. I am really confused and not sure what I should do. I feel that law school shouldnt be creating this anxiety if it is truly what I should be doing. I am not sure whether I should pursue a JD/MBA or just a JD or just a MBA or neither. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is quite common for anyone attending law school or any new commitment. Whether to attend law school or not is a life altering decision and you there is no guarantee it could go great it could go terribly. When I was a 0L I can tell you I was freaking out the summer before I started it was a mixture of excitement, anxiety, hope, dread, and everything in between. However, most people in their mid twenties have the feeling of "what I am doing with my life" and if you attend law school you are taking a significant step in one direction it is a 3 year 100,000 commitment that will change your life.
It does sound like you have done a good amount of research into it and worked in a law firm and were not scared off. As for having a possible false vision you might have one, but there is no exact picture to being a lawyer it is a diverse field much like anything else really.
As for the JD/MBA what do you want to do with both of those? You shouldn't simply get more education because you don't know what to do and personally I think a law degree is far more valuable than an MBA, but I could be biased. You need to go to law school to be a lawyer you don't need an MBA to be a businessman.
I am sure you would like to hear everything will work out and this is a great decision or maybe it is horrible and you should not go, but this is your life and your decision. There is no way to know if law school is the right decision and like any big decision there is a bit of uncertainty. Whatever you decide I wish you good luck.

It sounds like you have connections. That is the #1 problem that most people face. It's not graduating that is their problem, it is having connections. Networking helps, but having relatives who are lawyers is a good step in the right direction.

Hello Internet Newbie!
I think it is completely normal to feel quite a bit of anxiety before law school. I think part of it is that it is a new environment, and part of it is that it might not be worth it if you don't want to practice law (although it sounds like you liked your experience working at a firm - which is a good sign!).
I was really anxious before law school and I didn't even want to practice law (which is not necessarily something I advise to others...). But I agree with Legend - I found a law degree to be impressive (more impressive than an MBA) and thought that even if I ventured into other fields I would have a major advantage. I ended up practicing law for about three years after law school (which I enjoyed) but now I just tutor law students/bar exam students full time. I have no regrets.
One good thing about law is that it is a very versatile field. And, if you're only 26, now might be the best time to go to law school considering that as you get older and have more commitments and responsibilities, it is more of a sacrifice to go. However, at the same time, if you really think you will not enjoy being a lawyer, and if you do not get scholarships or have a way to pay off law school, it might not be worth it to go into so much debt for something you do not even know if you want to do.
Anyway, good luck! Let me know what you decide. And if you want some law school advice, you can always visit my site:

I have always wondered what those "other fields" are that would prefer a JD over an MBA?
I've had two non-legal jobs where a JD was preferred. One was in environmental consulting, where knowledge of property, land use, and especially state and federal environmental regulation was an asset. The other was in film marketing and distribution, where knowledge of copyright, intellectual property, and contracts was necessary. Many of the people I worked with were JDs, but not necessarily practicing attorneys. An MBA would have been considered alright, but a JD was considered better.
Human resources is another field where it's common to find JDs. At most larger companies and government agencies the HR Director and managers will be JDs.

Are we talking about Clean Water Action and other $10 an hour type jobs?
I cant imagine that most places would "prefer" a JD unless the JD is already licensed. I should clarify I don't mean "they'd hire a lawyer and pay them non lawyer pay" I mean "they'd hire a JD who never passed the bar"

No, we're talking six figure careers.
None of the positions I mentioned require you to dispense legal advice, so bar admission is not necessarily critical. Knowledge of the relevant law, however, is considered a huge asset.

You're grounded: A shocking update at Giant
These days, customers may be getting less of a charge out of shopping at the Pantops Giant but that's a good thing.
As the Hook reported in April, some patrons of the grocery store suffered painful shocks, especially when they touched their carts and the store's metal shelves simultaneously.
"In the winter I had a couple of shocks that deadened my arm for a bit," wrote Giant shopper Dan Moseke. "I thought it was static from my swishing George Costanza jacket, but it has kept happening into the spring."
A Giant manager said the shocks could have been caused by "electricity generated from disturbing the earth during construction of the store."
And electrician Guy Cohen suggested looking into electromagnetic energy. "Go up there with a compass," he said. "If it points north in error, you've got your answer." The compass worked just fine.
According to Giant spokesperson Jaime Miller, the source of those shocks is likely good old static electricity.
An electrical certification company came in, Miller says, and found that "everything was installed correctly." Based on that information, Giant attached to each cart a "grounding wire"a slim metal thread that hangs from the bottom of the cart and prevents a charge from building up.
In addition, the store has changed its cleaning solution to one that imparts a negative charge another shock-busting maneuver.
Is it working?
"At this point, yeah," Miller says. "There's been a reduction in complaints."
Emmett Boaz, who buys most of his groceries at Whyte's in Earlysville, says it's unlikely the fix would bring him back to the store.
"I was violently shocked by the prices," says Boaz, "I never had any electrical problems."
But Moseke says Giant's plan has worked for him. "I haven't noticed getting shocked," he says, "so I guess that would be an improvement."

HARRISBURG – The release of a major audit concerning state regulation of the impact of Marcellus Shale drilling on water quality is the latest round in a debate now stretching back a half dozen years.
State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said his agency's audit of regulatory activities from 2009 to 2012 under two administrations shows the Department of Environmental Protection is underfunded, understaffed and inconsistent in handling development of the gas industry.
Corbett administration officials challenged the audit's findings. A major contention is whether DEP should issue formal orders for drillers that damage water supplies, as DePasquale advocates, or encourage informal settlements with property owners.
This the latest example of a "performance" audit on how well an agency is fulfilling its mission and duties under state law. These go beyond financial audits to determine if government account books are properly balanced.
The Marcellus audit lit up Twitter, but whether it will have long-lasting impact depends on how others — lawmakers, officials, candidates and interest groups —respond to it.
An audit can have legs if bills are introduced to implement its findings, legislative committees hold public hearings on it or if candidates, such as Democratic gubernatorial challenger Tom Wolf, make it a continual theme in their campaigns.
Relatively few audits grab this kind of attention, but a couple in recent decades have managed to meet that threshold.
A clear example is audits by former Auditor General Jack Wagner uncovering problems with Department of Public Welfare programs. They targeted the special allowance program providing cash assistance to welfare recipients participating in employment and job-training programs. A 2009 audit concluded the program was rife with mismanagement and poor oversight, creating the potential for fraud.
Wagner is a Democrat and his audits were critical of practices under former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell's administration. Republicans held hearings on the DPW audits and continued to cite their findings after they took control the statehouse in 2011.
They used the audits to justify giving the DPW secretary special authority in 2011 to issue regulations to wring out "waste, fraud and abuse" in the welfare system.
During the 1990s, then- Auditor General Bob Casey, now a U.S. senator, issued a performance audit of Pennsylvania's long-term care system for senior citizens. The audit concluded the Health Department was slow to investigate serious complaints about resident care at nursing homes. It produced a major headache for GOP Gov. Tom Ridge's administration and led to a new complaint-response process and a change in leadership at the health department.
Of course, the foundation for these performance audits was laid by Casey's father, the late Gov. Robert P. Casey who served as auditor general from 1969 to 1977.
He conducted performance audits of welfare programs, state treasury bank deposits, environmental programs, basic education subsidies, the Liquor Control Board, redevelopment authorities and centers for people with intellectual disabilities.
A 1971 performance audit found that 10 percent of welfare recipients were ineligible for benefits they were receiving, for example.
