Today as Americans go to the polls, we're running this post from last year because transforming our energy future—especially in the wake of tragic and destructive weather events like Hurricane Sandy—is more important than ever.
And whether you care most about profits and jobs, or national security, or environmental stewardship, climate, and health, a brighter energy future makes good sense—for the planet, for humanity, and for our economy. Together, we can change energy forever.
To reinvent fire, we need to master six critical challenges.
Just one energy efficient building makes a difference. Multiply that by 120 million buildings, and, there will be a revolution. Ultimately, there's a $1.4 trillion opportunity on the table for smart building owners and entrepreneurs to aggressively adopt straightforward efficiency techniques.
"There are several emerging trends that point to 'cracking the code,'" said Mathias Bell, RMI consultant. "The challenge is to dramatically accelerate these nascent trends—like straightforward efficiency techniques and technologies—and leverage integrative design to achieve greater energy savings and financial returns."
To jumpstart widespread investments in building efficiency, building owners, energy service firms and utilities need to spearhead change. The good news is that the time is ripe: the technologies are available, smart regional policies are proliferating, and the opportunity to deliver innovative hassle-free energy products at scale is increasing.
A cleaner, safer oil free world—and the health of this vital sector—depends on the auto industry's ability to produce much fitter vehicles at roughly the same cost before their competitors—both old and new.
A key enabler of the transition is to apply integrative design, vehicle fitness and new manufacturing methods, which can save far more fuel at a similar sticker price by simplifying automaking and shrinking powertrains.
"We are currently on the tail end of a 100-year learning curve, where we see design improvements flattening out," said Greg Rucks, RMI transportation consultant. "Instead of wringing the last bit of innovation left in current designs, the same amount of innovation and design effort could be more productively applied toward revolutionary autos that exceed 100 mpg with better safety and performance. Automakers who recognize this early will be in the best position to capture market share."
Complimentary to transforming vehicle design is changing how vehicle are used—and it is important that both happen simultaneously.
Paying infrastructure costs by the mile not the gallon, smart IT traffic and transport systems, and other strategies can slash more than half the 13,000 miles a typical American drives each year and cut just under a third or more freight-hauling miles while enhancing personal mobility and freight logistics.
"Nobody wants to sit in traffic for hours, but that is today's reality. We could provide the same or better transportation services with more options and only half as much drive time," said Jesse Morris, RMI transportation analyst. "IT developments and smarter use of infrastructure could expand user choice and access."
As ubiquitous as "made in China" sounds, industry is still a huge piece of the U.S. economy, generating more than 40 percent of the country's GDP and employing almost 20 million people. America's strongest economic engine can become more competitive by accelerating adoption of energy efficiency, boosting cogeneration, and increasing on-site renewable supplies of heat and electricity.
"Industrial energy efficiency is profitable, but it requires courage to look beyond short term investments," said Albert Chan, RMI consultant. But, gaining insight into energy use across the company delivers many more benefits other than cutting energy costs, including streamlined processes, improved product quality and increased performance. It's no coincidence that firms that are good at energy management are also the most competitive."
Today, the costs of some renewable and distributed technologies are still higher than the alternatives.
But, global growth in investment and production of renewable technologies—like wind and solar—is driving rapid cost reductions and improving performance. Using these commercially available technologies, there is more than enough renewable resource available to meet current and future U.S. electricity demand.
"Wind, solar, and other renewables are traveling down a steep learning curve," said RMI Principal Lena Hansen. "With expected cost reduction trends for today's technologies, the path to an electric system that is powered largely by renewables could be only modestly more expensive that business-as-usual."
But, even with dramatic cost reductions, current regulatory structures and conventional utility business models hamper the industry's ability to transform efficiently and profitably. That's where #6 comes in.
There will never be a future free of fossil fuels if utilities' profits depend on how much electricity they sell, or if distributed renewable sources can't feed electricity onto the grid.
While we cannot anticipate game changing events or the speed of transformation that can be enabled by technology, the electric system can be ready to respond quickly to threats and take advantage of opportunities.
"The key is to level the playing field for actors to make intelligent and economically optimal decisions," said James Newcomb, RMI Program Director. "By revamping utilities' rules and operating models to align with the opportunities presented by efficiency and renewables, we can build a more customer-centric and less risky electric system."
While pulling each of these levers is critical, it can't be done in isolation. Reinventing Fire depends on the interdependencies of an entire system to uncover solutions that yield exponential economic benefits and find bigger savings cheaper.
By increasing our productivity with every unit of energy we use across all sectors of our economy—transportation, buildings and industry—we can simultaneously power our increasingly efficient demand with a portfolio of renewable energy sources.
Watch RMI's new video to learn how we can change energy use forever.
Ellie and I moved into our earth sheltered home in April, 2006. It is the most comfortable home we have ever lived in, and we spend only an average of $125 a month on energy. Our home is earth bermed on the east, north and west has high windows on the south and has three feet of earth on the roof. It is made of poured concrete; it won't burn, it won't blow away and termites leave it alone. Our green roof has no rain run-off, which is something a lot of cities wish they had; rain is absorbed by the green roof. This home will still be sheltering a family two thousand years from now, so it will never need clearance and rebuilding. Everyone should live in such a home.
Wow, could you reduce this to 500 words and submit it under "Energy Policy" in the aGREATER.US competition? We need your leadership!
Great work!!!It's unbelievable that in this day and age ... more specifically TODAY ... 3 million people are without power in the NE... and yet our Attorney Driven Political System is breaking down... this is good! No More Attorney's in Politics... at least vote in some normal people... hey what about a farmer or two... or how about a doctor... why are they all ATTORNEYS??? ATTORNEYS DO NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS... THEY CREATE THEM...I am a champion of Distributed Energy and Fuel Cell Technology... I doubt that a single congressmen/women and or senators understand what either is!Have a look at these links... and thanks RMI for all your hard work!http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/orange_county&id=8310315http://fchea.posterous.com/posco-power-completes-100-mw-fuel-cell-powerhttp://enbridge.rawintegrated.com/hybrid/hybrid_complete.htmlhttp://www.dlafuelcells.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DoD-Fuel-Cell_10-19-11.pdf
This all seems revolutionary except - where's the math? I watched the interview on PBS and the claims that retooling buildings would pay for itself seem unrealistic. If that were true, why wouldn't all building owners, you know, the 1% with all that money, who are smart enough to get that rich, retool their buildings without prompting or legislation from the government.
@bob4It's a good question. While there's been a lot of positive momentum for efficiency in buildings , it still isn't happening at the pace we need in order to realize our vision for 2050.Today, there are a lot of barriers to the adoption of energy efficiency. For many people, they simply may not be aware that there is an energy efficiency opportunity, or, if they are aware, they might not have the time and energy required to make the right decisions. Still, even if they know what they want to do, they might not have the capital available. What we're hoping for with Reinventing Fire is that efficiency can become faster, easier, and more transparent. We may be a little more hopeful than some, but there's a lot of progress being made already. Over the next 40 years, we think great business minds can find ways to successfully overcome many of today's obstacles.
I would like to thank You all RMI team for Your work! Reinventing Fire is great!Happy holiday to firstname.lastname@example.com Finland
It's great to see buildings at the top of the list, and even better to see existing buildings right up there with new construction. But best of all would be to see building operation share top billing. Even a LEED Platinum building isn't necessarily energy efficient unless it's operated properly. Here's an example:http://www.facilitiesnet.com/green/article/LEED-Designs-Dont-Always-Lead-to-Sustainable-Operations--12807. Many operational measures involve little or no capital expense, but they do require staff to be trained and to have the time and incentive to keep the building operating properly. And the first step in that direction is to increase awareness of just how important good operating practices are.
Coal power production is being replaced with clean burning natural gas. While this is good, it could be much better yet.Imagine these rebuilt power plants not having any chimney's venting hot exhaust. Instead the technology of Condensing Flue Gas Heat Recovery would be recovering the heat energy from the exhaust gases.Something has to be done to utilize all this recovered energy. Algae ponds could be constructed on this "dead" land that has been covered in coal dust and ash for the past 50 years.The recovered heat from the power plants exhaust can be used to keep these algae ponds warmed to the most ideal temperature of algae growth.The then cooled CO2 exhaust gases could be pumped into these algae ponds providing these algae plants with CO2 Enrichment (fertilizer)Water will be evaporating from these ponds, and the water created during this Condensing Flue Gas Heat Recovery process can be used to make up for this, reducing the groundwater requirements.The algae will put back into the atmosphere oxygen, and when harvested, this algae can become bio fuels, and more.Near Zero Waste Power plants of the near future.
Hi,and Thank you,Having thoroughly investigated varios physical models of our solar and geo biosphereand one long sought energy translator technolgy,I see a day coming soon ,perhaps twenty years from now,when it will be unnecessary and quite possibly illegal to burn hydro carbons.I got to tip my 'hat' to Dr,J.K.,I look forward to self contained safe power ,only polution would be heat.That said current efforts to (in a positive use) progress to higher efficiencies,planning is coming along and I hope to humbly address this issue locally.Where I love ,carefull co ordination of supplies and community centers for pick up,by associations of like minded people would be a great help .Time and money savings and a fee for the service is a good. idea.Where are such ideas being gathered?
This 6 point strategy seems doable. in fact I see it being done already to a marked degree. A lot og the leg work and lab work is being done and has been done by various labs in the DOE and various Universities. Industry will have to step up to the plate and do thier share.Utilizing the present Administrations funding for investment into infrstructure such as rail and bridges and highway systems will play a big part in the shift toward these goals. Fuel cell powered locomotives and long haul Tractor Trailer rigs as well as EVs and HEVs will do a lot to bring this plan to fruition. I believe we have an Administration dedicated to this type of Rebuilding of America. Industry will have to do its' share to make this happen.

Life Lessons: Breaking records on the court
A new poll shows Americans now expect to retire at an average age of 67, up from 66 in 2011. The average expected retirement age has been gradually increasing over the past 17 years from age 60 in 1995 to 67 today.
Some people just keep working simply because they want to.
These are people like Leta Andrews who has been coaching high school girl's basketball for 51 years. She holds the record for the most wins in the nation with 14-hundred victories.
Leta says she has that winning attitude because, "The only win that's important to me, is the next one."
Her game plan is a hard learned lesson for the girls she coaches. Incidentally, she works at the same school where she learned the game.
She tells the girls, "Basketball is very simple. You just have to do those little things well." She demands a total commitment from her players.
"If you're not running a 104 temperature and throwing up, you roll out of that bed and come to school because not only will you miss my class, and I consider my class a classroom and it's important, but you're going miss those solid subjects that you've got to have to go on to college and taste the fruits of success."
How does a woman who could be the player's great grandmother gain a teenager's respect? The kids say it's her determination and spirit.
Senior Lilley Vander Zee, is a center on the team.
"I couldn't do a pull up and she got up there, pulled up and was talking to me, looking down on me and saying, 'Lilley, if I am 70 something years old and I can do this, I'm pretty sure you can too."
For every free throw missed, a hundred are shot on a player's own time.
Lose the ball and you run the bleachers.
Point guard Morgan Northcutt says she knows what the coach wants.
"She expects your best out of you and it's tough, but it's rewarding."
Point guard Ashley Bonugli agrees, "She pushes you to limits you didn't even know you had."
Leta's players have gone to play Division 1 ball.
This year's center has a full ride to the University of Texas and past player Jia Perkins now plays for the WFNBA.
Leta says, "Kiddos of today, they really don't care what you think until they know you do care, and then they will appreciate how much you do know."
Leta still runs four miles a day at age 74.
When asked if players have changed over the years, the coach says it's the parents who have changed. She says parents today are too easy.

"Why Monogamy Matters: Research on Love, Sex and Singles" topic of Binghamton University Forum
BINGHAMTON, NY – "Why Monogamy Matters: Research on Love, Sex, and Singles," will be the topic of the Binghamton University Forum luncheon program on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Lunch will begin at noon, followed by the formal program at 12:30 p.m. at Traditions at the Glen, 4101 Watson Boulevard in Johnson City.
The forum will feature guest speaker Justin Garcia, a graduate of Binghamton University who is currently an Assistant Professor of Gender Studies and research Scientist at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington.
Since 2010, Garcia has served as a scientific advisor for the international online dating site Match.com. In particular, he has been a collaborator on the annual Singles in America (SIA) study, which is the most comprehensive, ongoing study of single Americans, sponsored by Match.com and based on randomly selected, nationally representative samples (including respondents beyond Match.com and its subsidiaries).
Garcia is currently conducting research into 'hook-up' behavior and culture, which includes non-relational or uncommitted sexual encounters, happening especially during the developmental period of emerging adulthood, and typically focusing on college-age students. Other research interests include evolutionary and biocultural models of human behavior, romantic love and intimate relationships, and monogamy. Garcia has been repeatedly approached for commentary on dating and monogamy/infidelity issues and has made media appearances on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and CTV.
The Binghamton University Forum is a membership organization comprised of business, professional and community leaders that brings nationally known authorities to speak at functions throughout the year. For more information, call the Forum office at (607) 777-4390.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The appartment is HUGE. We booked it to have some nice days in Riga for five adults and one baby. We could have slept every night in a different bed, because there are beds for about 15 people.
The appartment was clean and not far away from Rigas famous old town.
Some things were broken like the oven. (We did not want to cook. Therefore this was no problem.) But if you like to cook for yourself, you should ask, if it is fixed again.
Good place for the money, beds are really comfortable and two badrooms were nice luxury to our travelling family. Good services in reception and you feel secured in the facilities. It was a hot summer evening and the only downside was the lack of window that can be opened all the way to get little help for summer temperature
Very nice comfortable appartment, central located, helpful staff, looking forward to see you agian!
A nice flat in a nice place, near from center of Riga! We liked our journey!
We stayed for a week there and were really satisfied. The apartment is fully equipped and very clean. during our stay we had to clean ourselves, which was not a problem. the accommodation is spacious and during the night it was mainly quiet.
The reception is 24h in charge and Arthur helped us very much and very friendly with all our questions and the first orientation in the city. it is a little walk into the city centre - maybe 10-15 minutes - but you also have nice cafes and restaurants nearby.
We can definitely recommend this place.
Perfect apartment Riga To Explore. Fairly centrally located. Apartment is neat and fully furnished. Friendly reception.
Prima appartement om Riga Te Verkennen. Redelijk centraal gelegen. Appartement is netjes en volledig ingericht. Vriendelijke receptie.
Really nice, clean and spacious apartment.
Staff is really friendly and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay in such a beautiful city.
We enjoyed Riga. What an amazing city! The apartment was located a few kilometers outside the old center. We like to walk so found no problem. There is also a bus stop a few meters away. The relationship between price and quality was fine. A fully furnished apartment with nice beds and a good shower. Very clean. Despite the complex near the railway and a busy road that gives little inconvenience. The staff at the reception were helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended if you ever take a few days to Riga. René and Annet
We hebben genoten van Riga. Wat een bijzondere stad! Het appartementencomplex lag een paar kilometer buiten het oude centrum. Wij lopen graag dus vonden dat geen probleem. Daarnaast is er ook een bushalte op een paar meter afstand. De verhouding tussen de prijs en kwaliteit was prima. Een zeer compleet ingericht appartement met heerlijke bedden en een goede douche. Zeer schoon. Ondanks dat het complex dichtbij het spoor en een drukke weg ligt geeft dat weinig overlast. Het personeel bij de receptie was behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Zeker een aanrader als je ooit een paar dagen naar Riga gaat. René en Annet
Super apartment, has exactly looked like on the pictures. We had a great time in Riga !!

RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Using a line one size heavier than you normally use helps to give you more of a feel when casting-by-braille at night. I heard Lou Tabory suggest this, and i'm in complete agreement with him.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
I think its those great night time casts that I like the best.......
Fishing in the surf in the day light can really scare ya.... You can cast a full fly line and when you see where your fly lands.... you look at the reel and wonder if that line is really how long it said on the box???????????????
Something about the ocean surf that distorts distance.
But if you guys have any thing you want to know about in night fishing the surf, I will be glad to tell you what I know about it if I can.
I love bass fishing at night ... and find large fish like it too!
Steves picture kinda makes ya wanta walk on water. Had a big fin go by me one moon night so fast I heard the whistle it made cutting through the wind and water before I saw the fins.... I couldn't believe how fast Mr. tooth could move!!!!!!
RE:Night flyfishing strategies - TONY STETZKO's Article
Just read Tony's awesome article in On the Water. He gives us a lot of insights with his words in this article, but it seems to me it's that "sixth sense" he shares with the fox in his headlights that makes him a "legend of sleepless hollow".
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Certainly not claiming to be an expert, but I would say 75% of my fishing is done at night. Al D and I had 3-5 really good nights last season (He had the best one alone 3 SWFF keepers in 2 hours D'oh!). We also had one 40+ fish night (cold front moving in, SW wind pinning bait right up in the corner of the estuary where we were fishing, Yeah Baby!). I did about 3 all-nighters (sun-set to sun rise), because, after all, sleep depravation is the cheapest buzz. I must say though, I tend to do more spin fishing than fly fishing at night (harder to cast & see your line). However, Night fly fishing calm beachfronts and estuaries under the right condition can be a lot of fun!

RE:Night flyfishing strategies
The hell with the kevlar waders, I'd be trying to roll cast out of a cage if I knoew there were 'jaws' like that near my legs....
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
I'm more concerned about how well the Kevlar waders would hold up!
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Don't forget a Striper Imitation Fly !! Do you think that 13wt could cast a 28 inch fly ??
RE:Night flyfishing strategies*to Steve*
Great picture!
It looks like I'll need a 13wt and some 8/0's with a tandem hook.
Not to mention the kevlar waders.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
I do about 80% of my striper fishing at night. I shy away from lights most of the time, but at a certain time of year, a cetain large baitfish ascends a certain large river and must pass under a certain bridge which is lit with streetlights. Now THAT'S fun!
I shy from lit areas because I am a fanatic about my night vision. I prefere to hook, land and release my fish without using the flashlight. Of course, that's only possible under certain conditions, especially now that I don't improve my night vision by, ah...,dialating my pupils.;-]
For someone who isn't used to it, casting in the dark can be surprisingly difficult at first. You don't realize how much you depend on your vision until it's not there for you. A very helpful practice technique is to spend some time casting in the daytime with your eyes closed.
Strike dectection can be tough also. For those who stuburnly cling to the one handed trout retrieve, many strikes will go undetected. The good old "rod under the arm, two handed strip retrieve" means at least one hand is holding the line tight at all times. I've been in situations where bass were feeding heavy and I was hooking up every two or three casts, while a buddy went fishless because he never knew he was getting hits. When he got frustrated and asked my secret, I repeated advice I was once given on a trout stream by an expert nymph fishermen. "Ya gotta set the hook just BEFORE you feel the strike."
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Awsome account of a serious night on the beach Steve! Reminds me not to wade too far out at night
McCaff - absolutely, I'd suggest you simply post here. There are a number of us who live a similar lifestyle on Friday nights thru the season!

RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Juro: We were fishing off the beach of "an island" located off the coast of Massachusetts. The guy holding the 1/2 striper is captain Peter O'Brien who charters out of Madaket Harbor on the west end of Nantucket. Pete was kind enough to invite me and buddy to join him and his first mate on their "night off", so I promised him I would never divulge the spot we were fishing. That night we probably caught close to 100 stripers and blues between the 4 of us fishing forabout 3 hours. Close to 95% of the stripers were "keeper" sized and we caught some real pigs, up to about 35 lbs. It was non-stop action until the men in the brown suits showed (brown and bull sharks) up and started biting all our stripers in half. This is one of about a 1/2 dozen we lost to the sharks that night.
The sharks were running in the trough just off the beach. It was a full moon night so we could see their backs and dorsal fins as they swam by in front of us. At one point I actually jabbed my rod tip into one that swam right in front of me. We stopped fishing for the night after one of the sharks (about a 7 foot brown) came up the beach out of the surf following a striper my buddy Matt was dragging out of the surf. He had bent over to unhook the striper and didn't realize the shark had followed his fish out of the water. Needless to say he was bit "shocked" and we all decided it was time to quit.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
I don't know if this was ever suggested but is there interest in an area on the site for pairing people up through the summer? I fish at night and it would probably be better if I didn't do it alone so much. You know how it is...driving down the Cape with the family last minute on Friday. You get to the house, put the kids to bed, and go out fishing. It's probably the most dangerous thing to do in shore fishing (aside from going to the end of the Salisbury Jetty in your waders).
If there was a section with people's names and where they are on the Cape/North Shore/RI, when and where they're available, it might catch on. Sort of like mini-claves I guess. I couldn't guess on a format, maybe a database of site members with their schedule and contact info?
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Steve - That weren't no bluefish.... where were you? I'd love to hear the story behind that. The anglers face says it all!
I had a huge bass trail a snapper blue that hit my foam banger fly last June off the south side of the Cape. I found myself "livelining" to see what would happen. The fish was wiser than I and swam off without indulging.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
There's only one solution to increasing the abilities of the sunburned day fishers - a night clave.
I think around 5% of my fishing last year was in the day.
But what have I learned at night?
1. Start fishing right at the waters edge.
2. In the words of a buddy, "It doesn't matter what color fly you use, as long as it's black." This holds true about 75% of the time.
3. Sound casting (instead of sight casting) can be zen like - grasshopper.
4. I think I cast better at night. Maybe it's just because I can't see that I'm not throwing the line that far...
5. No jetskis
Let's put together a plan Friday night for a night time schoolie outing, I have a spot that could handle about 5 rods.

I have a 7 month old BLF and I have been following the Lardy Program. I have used ear pinch to teach fetch and have moved through all three steps outlined in Lardys program: ear pinch starting close all the way down to the ground, walking fetch and stick fetch.
I am trying to understand from those experienced with FF as to when you consider the dog fully FF. What behaviors do you expect the dog to exhibit when you say this dog is successfully FF? Or what type of behaviors does the dog exhibit when you say more FF work is required?
This is where I am at:
I have done stick fetch twice and she hasnt refused to pick up a bumper and didnt drop a bumper when tapped with the stick.
However when I throw bumpers for marks or just fun bumpers, occasionally (5% of the time) she will run to the bumper not pick it up, sniff around or even sit and look at me. I will command fetch while walking towards her. She doesn't immediately pick it up but as I get closer she runs and gets the bumper.
Secondly when she returns with a bumper I am working on front finish. I will command HOLD, HOLD and SIT (sometimes a whistle blast). She will sit but drops the bumper 80% of the time. When I command FETCH she almost always picks it up and I gently tell her to hold and she does until I take the bumper. If there is any refusal to pick the bumper up all I have to do is touch her ear and she quickly grabs the bumper.
Should I consider my dog FF and move on to simple casting using the occasional ear pinch when warranted or do I need to continue with stick fetch using ear pinch on every refusal?

Record number of Binghamton University geoscientists to participate in annual conference
Research from 17 geoscientists at Binghamton University will be presented at the 114th annual meeting of the Geological Society of America (GSA) to be held October 27-30, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Approximately 6,300 geoscientists from around the world are expected to attend. Binghamton University will have one of the largest representations from a single university.
The meeting, titled "Denver 2002: Science at the Highest Level," will host nearly 3,100 speakers who will participate in more than 246 technical sessions covering recent advances in all fields of geoscience.
The geoscientists from Binghamton University have submitted papers to topical and discipline sessions, and are contributing to workshops at the meeting. They include faculty Jeffrey Barker, Robert Demicco, Joseph Graney, David Jenkins, Peter Knuepfer, Tim Lowenstein, William MacDonald, Karen Salvage and William Stein. Student geoscientist's represented, current or recent graduates, include Sean Brennan, Timothy Erikson, Jonathan Kramer, John Rayburn, Abigail Roberts, Luke Salogar, Cindy L. Satterfield and Erin Fallis Sutton.
The papers and workshops involving Binghamton University faculty and students will cover a wide range of subjects, including such topics as evidence of meteorite impacts, changes in seawater chemistry through earth's history, evidence for climate changes from South America and New York, groundwater flow along rivers, and geochemistry of contaminants.
Other presentations at the meeting range from the geomorphic effects of wildfire to the evolution of the Rocky Mountains to early Mars. Numerous topics with public policy implications include hydrogeology and water resources, challenges in the national problem of high-level radioactive waste disposal, and the role of earth sciences in fostering global equity and stability.
Established in 1888, GSA is a broad, unifying scientific society that strives to foster better understanding of the Earth, planets and life. Through a variety projects, programs and events, GSA promotes the application of geoscience knowledge and insight to human needs and aspirations and stewardship of the Earth. GSA also provides access to the professional growth of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from all sectors including academic, government, business, and industry.

This salad features a yummy combination of fruits, veggies and a citrus dressing.
For 9 grams of fat and 145 calories per serving, use just one avocado and decrease the oil in the vinaigrette to 2 tablespoons.
When an avocado is cut and its flesh exposed to air, it discolors quickly. So add avocados at the last minute, or brush with lemon or lime juice to minimize discoloration.

Boutique Hotels in AmsterdamWith its legendary 17th-century buildings, historic canals, and picturesque windmills, Amsterdam doesn't easily embrace new architecture. That sentiment was both reaffirmed with the debut of the befuddling new Stedelijk Museum (it looks like a $170 million bathtub) and debunked by the spectacular new film institute, the Eye, which was greeted warmly. All of which is to say: Amsterdam is nothing if not a place of contradictions. Pot and prostitution are as legal and as ubiquitous here as boutique and luxury Amsterdam hotels, but so too are masterpieces by Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Vermeer. Take Amsterdam as it comes to you—by bike or boat. Experience beer and comfort food in a traditional brown cafe, but also revel in the fact that the Dutch capital is finally welcoming new food culture (amid our great boutique hotels in Amsterdam), rooted in local ingredients and shaped by creative chefs. Below find a list of our selection of boutique and luxury hotels in Amsterdam.

OXFORD – Aldermen accepted the donation of a lot in Shiloh subdivision on Tuesday.
City Engineer Bart Robinson said the lot was owned by a family who changed their minds about building a home on the undeveloped land. Wishing not to pay taxes on the property indefinitely, he said, they offered it to the city.
Mayor George "Pat" Patterson expressed appreciation for the donation and added, "We will also clean this lot up and benefit the neighborhood."
Alderman Janice Anto-now, whose ward includes the area, said, "There are a lot of families in Shiloh now, and it would be nice to have a park there."

We have not assigned a GreatSchools rating to this school, due to incomplete or unavailable data.
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.

The Oklahoma Legislature adopted an A-F School Grading System to provide incentives to schools for challenging all students to reach high levels of college and career readiness. A school's grade is based on its ability to help students meet grade-level performance standards as well as academic growth. A school's grade also includes factors such as graduation and dropout rates, and attendance rates for elementary schools.

Time Management 101
Wow. Juggling a 9 to 5 job with coding, romance, social life, food, and sleep is a serious, serious skill. Development on Scoped has virtually come to a standstill. I'm not sure whether I want to sacrifice sleep or some social time to start coding again.
But, it is science...
I can't complain, though. Having a blast at my job - research associate at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Science Park Research Division here in Smithville, TX. Working full-time on something that I would probably do for free is a true, true luxury. Even the grunt work (counting cells under the microscope... shudder) is still somehow interesting. I guess I'm rather excited by the prospect of working my way from research to initial idea to data to results. The scientific process is really quite exciting.
C. Pence, signing off.

A code of ethics established by the Texas Real Estate Commission. Agents and Brokers in Texas are required to abide by the rules set out in the Canons. Failure to do so can result in actions against the licensee up to and including the removal of the Agent or Broker's license to practice real estate in Texas.
The profit made when selling a property. It is the difference between the purchase price and the sales price and is usually considered taxable income. Ask your real estate agent or your financial advisor about legitimate methods of avoiding paying capital gains tax on the sale of a piece of real estate property
The sum of all expenses involved in owing an investment property. This includes the initial capital to purchase the property, the total cost of any loans on the property (including interest payments), the costs of additions and upgrades to the property, ongoing expenses such as utilities and the total costs of maintenance of the property.
A mathematical formula used to determine the true value of an income-producing property. Divide the annual net operating income by the capitalization rate to find the value. The formula is written as Income/Rate = Value.
Often referred to more casually as the "cap rate," this is simply a term for the rate of return on an owner's investment that an income-producing property will make.
: Slang for an investment property which consistently produces a large amount of income well in excess of its expenses.
The amount of cash an investment property owner nets after deducting operating expenses and loan payments from the gross income. If the amount of income exceeds the expenses, the property is said to have positive cash flow. If it doesn't, the property is said to have negative cash flow.
A type of property insurance policy which protects the property owner from losses related to theft, vandalism, and liability for the injuries or losses of others at the property.
A Latin phrase meaning "Let the buyer beware." As a principle of real estate business, it means that the buyer of a property is responsible for doing due diligence regarding determining the property's condition, market value and title status prior to closing the sale. In the name of Caveat Emptor, most buyers have a property inspection, review title research and have and appraisal completed before the sale goes through.
Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions. Also known as Deed Restrictions. The restrictions governing the use of real estate usually enforced by a homeowners' association. Could include such items as how to landscape your yard, whether you're allowed to keep chickens or put up a sign in your yard when you sell your house.

An appraisal that has been performed on a property that is being paid for a VA loan. After the property has been appraised, the Veterans Administration issues a CRV.
A history of all the transfers of ownership affecting a property going back from the present owner to the earliest recorded ownership. In Texas, the chain of title theoretically goes back to "the sovereignty of the land" or, when the land owned itself. In practical terms, however, chain of title in Texas goes back to the Spanish Land Grants
Personal property as opposed to real property. Chattels are items which are tangible and moveable. Chattel does not convey with the sale of a property unless it is specifically mentioned as conveying in the sales contract. A refrigerator is a good example of chattel in a real estate transaction.
A federal law which prohibits racial discrimination in real estate transactions. It is the earliest civil rights law and arose from the need to clarify and define the rights of freed slaves and freeborn persons of color in the United States in the aftermath of the Civil War.
A title that is free of liens or any legal question as to the ownership of the property.

Any irregularity found in a title search which makes clear title (clear ownership) doubtful. Many things can cause a cloud on title, including a divorce between the previous owners, disputed easements or typographical errors in recording the deed. Often, clouds on the title provide the buyer an opportunity to extricate themselves from the contract. Some clouded titles can be remedied by a quitclaim deed or a court action.

Members of the National Associations of Realtors (NAR) must agree to adhere to a strict standard of ethical behavior in their dealing with clients, customers, the public and other Realtors. This Code of Ethics is a 17 point document which is enforceable by the NAR. Realtors who violate the Code face censure by NAR up to and including revoking their membership in NAR.

A system of law which predates the United States and has it's origin in England. Also called "case law," it is based on precedents set by judicial decisions, as opposed to legislative statutes or executive branch actions.
A system of ownership in which both spouses in a married couple equally own any assets (and appreciation of those assets) which are acquired during the marriage.

A written statement signed by both spouses that states that, in the event of the death of one spouse, any community property will automatically belong to the surviving spouse. This statement eliminates the need for probate regarding community property.
A United States federal law enacted in 1978 which requires lending institutions to meet the needs of all segments of the communities in which the banks are located.

Sales that have similar characteristics as the subject property and are used for analysis in the appraisal process.
A comparison method used by real estate professionals to determine the appropriate market value of a property.

Seller's agents use the CMA to help the seller determine the correct market asking price for a property. Buyer's agents also use CMA's to help the buyer determine an appropriate offer price.
A judicial proceeding through which the government can exercise its right of eminent domain to take private land for public use and compensate the owner.
Written permission from a local government which allows a property to be used for a function which would otherwise be prohibited by zoning. The variance is allowed if the use meets certain conditions and is a benefit to the community.

For example, you are expected not to trespass on your neighbors' private property even though you have not gone down to the courthouse and read the documents proving their ownership of the property.
An insurance policy which insures the removable contents in a property against theft or damage. Condominium owners and renters can (and should) take out contents insurance for their personal belongings since the HOA or landlord's insurance insures only the property and not the contents.
The dependence upon a stated event which must occur before a contract is binding. The most common contingency is a clause stating that the buyer must sell their present home before they can buy another one. If the buyer's home does not sell within the time specified in the contract, the contract is cancelled.
Also variously known as an "installment contract", a "contract of sale," a "land contract" or "articles of agreement for warranty deed." This a written agreement in which the seller retains possession of the property's deed while the buyer has use of the property and makes regular payments. When the payment schedule has been completed, the seller then releases the property's deed to the buyer
A private sector loan, one that is not guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government.
A mortgage loan that is obtained without any additional guarantees for repayment, such as FHA insurance or VA guarantees. Typically one approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
In real estate, conveyance is a term meaning the legal document used to describe the process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another.
In real estate, a housing cooperative is a legal entity (usually a corporation) that owns real estate, most often one or more residential buildings. Each shareholder in the corporation has the right to occupy one housing unit in the property subject to the rules in an occupancy agreement (similar to a lease) that specifies the cooperatives rules. Cooperative also describes a non-share capital cooperative model in which members pay monthly rent and occupy one bedroom and share communal resources in a cooperative household. This is most commonly seen in the form of student housing co-ops on or near college campuses.
A method of determining a property's value. The value is arrived at by taking the current construction costs, adding the land value and subtracting depreciation.
An IRS term for "depreciation." It allows businesses to take a tax deduction and recover the cost of personal and some real property over a stated time period. It's pretty much the same thing as depreciation except that costs are recovered regardless of the condition of the property.
An offer made in response to a previous bid.
On a closing statement (HUD-1), a credit means an amount of money in one party's favor.
This can be an amount which a party has already paid or an amount which is owed to the party. Examples would be credits to the buyer for the option fee and for the earnest money.
A report to a prospective lender on the credit standing of a prospective borrower. Used to help determine creditworthiness. Information regarding late payments, defaults, or bankruptcies will appear here.
A number representing the possibility a borrower may default; it is based upon credit history and is used to determine ability to qualify for a mortgage loan.
A dead end street which widens sufficiently at the end to permit an automobile to make a "U" turn.
In real estate, the term "customer" is distinct from the term "client." The difference is that a client has made a formal agreement with a real estate professional to be represented exclusively by that agent. A customer is someone who buys or sells property without being formally or exclusively represented by a particular agent.

Holquin, San Juan Capistrano businessman Bill Ortega, Traditional Jewelers
I think the Mission San Juan Capistrano's "Romance of the Mission" black-tie gala is one of the most romantic events of the year. Seriously, dining by candlelight under the stars in the Mission's historic central courtyard after enjoying a magnificent concert in the ruins of the Great Stone Church, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a singular delight!
This year's benefit showcased acclaimed singer/actor Davis Gaines in the stunning Great Stone Church setting, dramatically lit by a variety of color combinations throughout his performance. Gaines, known for performing the title role in The Phantom of the Opera more than 2,000 times on Broadway, in Los Angeles and San Francisco, wowed the crowd singing songs from the Great American Songbook, and ending, of course, with the famous "Music of the Night" from Phantom. Guests ate it up!
The Mission's Executive Director Michelle Lawrence-Adams welcomed everyone, along with The Mission Preservation Foundation President George O'Connell. The duo recognized honorary chairs Jan and the Honorable H. Warren Siegel for their generous support of the Mission over the years before the Mission bells drew the nearly 400 guests into the central courtyard for dinner.
The benefit's longtime partnership with The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, has proved a winning one. Once again, the dinner was superb and the wait staff top-notch. O'Connell presented the hotel's Executive Chef Andres Jimenez with a special certificate thanking him for his efforts in creating the gala's extraordinary menus. San Juan Capistrano businessman Bill Ortega was also acknowledged for his role as the 20-year proprietor of Ortega's Mission Gift Shop at the Mission by Reverend Monsignor Arthur A. Holquin, rector at Mission Bascilica San Juan Capistrano and Mission Foundation member.
Former Mission Foundation member Lula Halfacre, representing Traditional Jewelers, pulled the winning opportunity prize ticket for the stunning 18k gold filigree diamond cross from the renowned Fashion Island jeweler. A smiling Jim Peterson, one of the gala's major underwriters through Microsemi, accepted the prize for his wife Sheila.
The good news is that the fundraiser netted close to $200,000 to help fund the Mission's Gate House Preservation Project, which will relocate the gift store to the street and return the historic Sala building to museum use. The Gate House completion is scheduled for March, 2013.

This one was an incident that we were unprepared for, at least in Croatia. The same night we had a night bus from Zagreb to Dubrovnik. With the bus tickets and passport safe, we decided to continue with our travel after having reported the theft of the wallet.With a big bag (befitting a 50day trip) per person, we were stared at by our bus driver. He seemed a rather unpleasant person, who was at least highly suspicious of us. We decided to ignore that, only to wake up to a surprise. The driver had tipped us to the Boarder Police while crossing Bosnia and Herzegovina. On their routine checking, they took our passports and even asked one of our team mates- Akash to head out of the bus.The police only had 4 passports, 4 Indian passports. Bunny was asked to empty has pockets and further on asked to open his bag. The police was hoping to find some drugs, and they weren't any secretive of their intentions. They asked Bunny to handover any drug that he had on him.Of course the bus driver, who assisted in opening the luggage storage in the bus was enjoying the scene.When there was nothing to be found worth reporting, we were handed back our passports. (Honestly, with all the cases of framing that we've read, this was a scary experience)Reaching Dubrovnik wasn't the end of this as more people gave us dirty stares on the bus. Someone did mutter 'Asians' while making a face.Further on, we were questioned if we belonged to Pakistan or Bangladesh.You see, things aren't always as FAIR as THEY SEEM TO BE!Don't worry; Croatia did give us a fare share of fun and joy. And I shall post about that too! SOON.Until next post,Parampara(Who has crossed levels of being AWARA)This post is from the 50Days trip to Europe across 9 countries and 20 cities.

Today I am taken by the microcosm which is the <project>McFeely</project> project team. I feel compelled to give advice even though I am no better off than they are.
I too live in that murky sysadmin/would be progammer world. I took the leap a few years ago to become a consultant (actually I was pushed). But I have one client for whom I am basically an employee - so I end up facing many of the same questions of focus, direction, goals and definition that cdent discusses in his diary. Strangely, he also brings up the calculus people - geometry people spectrum. My thesis supervisor described this as holistic thinker - linear thinker and suggested that I sat in the middle too. I compare this to my work mates who have a thirst for detail that I avoid if I can. I find myself programming less and less, but remaining very opinionated about the projects I work on. I guess that's the overview thing.
jlf (a friend of cdent) complains of being dragged into the politics of his workplace, ouch. Workplace politics is a huge problem - also do you really want to be a manager or is it the only route up in your organisation. I've often wondered what became of the chief programmer team concept pioneered by Frederick P. Brooks it's worth trying to sell the concept to management (even if only to get yourself a reputation as a creative thinker). If you haven't read Brooks' book the "Mythical Man Month" it is a classic case study of (failed?) Cathedral development methodologies.
nymia asks "how contractors like me could get into the free software and open source market". I recently won a nice contract to build a community web site (which I have to fit in after hours of my other client). It is a government contract, so although their stock contract demanded copyright ownership, they were perfectly happy to place the source under a GNU licence. There are plenty of organisations who are driven by social rather than business goals (government, unions, charities), and plenty of other businesses who wouldn't know what to do with source code if it hit them in the head. If (realistically) they will never sell their in-huse software, and it won't be of use to their direct competitors, then you should be able to sell them on Open source on the basis of price, performance, compatibility etc.

It would've been an easier sell if someone had pointed out the cost of childcare for three weeks vs the average increase in sales taxes for a family.
I was pooping bricks looking at the early returns. It not passing would've meant serious cutbacks here (no toys and very few comics for quite some time ), and we even know some teachers at our church who would've been in danger of losing their homes.

Where were we?? Oh yes, outside the city limits of Malibu and heading to LA.
We woke up in a cold tent so rather than get ready and get colder, Simon bundled me into the car wrapped in my sleeping bag and we drove towards LA at around 7am (through Malibu with me keeping a look out for Jennifer Aniston, just in case she was up and around)! We were still in our layers of sleeping gear. Gross.
Simon wasn't that fussed about LA and I'd been before, so neither was I. Therefore we had no plan other than to have breakfast.
The first familiar sign we came to was Santa Monica so we got off the freeway there and headed for the Pier.
All through this trip songs have popped into my head that are written about the places that we've been (it's been driving me mad). This time I found myself singing the Cheryl Crow song about Santa Monica Boulevard. So after a lovely walk along the beach to see all the joggers and skaters etc, we headed towards Santa Monica Boulevard.
Before we got there we found a great place to have breakfast (with, surprise surprise, rubbish coffee) and plonked ourselves there for a while with me constantly saying to Simon "do you think that we look like we may've been out for a jog". The answer was clearly "no, we look like we slept in the clothes that we're in" but he kept on saying "yes" to make me feel better.
After breakfast we went for a walk along the boulevard (which at this end of LA mostly consists of shops). It was Black Friday in the US (still not sure why it's called that) so people were out in droves so we soon got bored of that and went back to the car to take a driving tour of LA.
We drove off towards Venice (muscle) Beach, which neither one of us liked so we stayed in the car and picked up Santa Monica Boulevard again which took us all the way into Beverley Hills.
That was fun as I could point out to Simon scenes from Pretty Woman on Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive and then we took a short drive through some of the fancy houses before headed for the Hollywood Sign.
After taking a picture of that we checked the map and aimed ourselves towards Las Vegas as that was our planned next stop (and Simon didn't like LA so we decided to move on).
About two hours later (no kidding, the place is huge) we left LA and found ourselves in a huge traffic jam which looked like it may stretch all the way through the desert to Vegas. Seems like everyone goes to Vegas on Thanksgiving weekend. Joy of joys.
We sat in the traffic jam for about half an hour after which Simon was bored our of his mind so, as he has a pathological hate of traffic jams and will drive in the wrong direction to avoid them, off we went into the unknown...

can't say i have a favorite turkey sound that i use on every bird or setup . now remember , i haven't killed near the number of birds that i have bumped or spooked or was impatient with. sometimes i'll tree yelp ,,,sometimes i'll wait till they are on the ground. but i rarely ever start with the same call two setups in a row.
t c , i've for the most part agreed with most of your posts and replies. but i can honestly say i've called in many birds with no more than a faint purr,,,and a few of them did ride in the truck.
the yelp is an attention getter for sure ,,but where i'm used to hunting , many times that's all you'll get is their attention . maybe the reason i don't use the yelp so much is because so many other hunters are wearing it out ,,,,where i hunt that is .

For the first time ever, the City of Columbus Animal Care Services achieved a 100% save rate for adoptable dogs. No dogs were euthanized due to lack of space, and the number of cats euthanized due to lack of space in 2012 was its lowest ever.
This represents significant progress toward Mayor Kristen Brown's ambitious goal of finding good homes for all adoptable pets. Mayor Brown has made animal care a priority and renamed the City's animal shelter and services to reflect a greater focus on animal care, adoption and education.
The shelter adopted out 211 dogs in 2012, the highest adoption number for dogs to date. An additional 276 dogs were returned to their owners.
Far fewer cats were euthanized due to lack of space last year than in previous years, including a 27% decrease from 2011 to 2012, and a 53% decrease from 2010. The adoption rate for cats is significantly less than the rate for dogs, constraining space at the shelter, but Animal Care Services is making progress on the need to euthanize cats through low-cost spay and neuter programs and adoption drives.
Animal Care Services partners with members of Community Animal Rescue Effort, "C.A.R.E.," who help find good homes for adoptable animals through fostering and adoption drives. C.A.R.E. also assists Animal Care Services with low-cost spay and neuter programs to help control the local pet population.
"Pets deserve the highest quality care in our shelter, and a good life in a permanent home," Mayor Kristen Brown said. "We have made animal care one of our community's top priorities, and we will continue to improve our services toward our ambitious goal of 100% save rate for adoptable pets."
Mayor Brown donated her 3-percent raise for 2013 of about $2,500 to Animal Care Services, and she hopes other community members also will help care for animals at the shelter through donations or volunteer work.
"We want to ensure that our animals have a very comfortable stay when they are with us," Mayor Brown said. "We are asking for the public's help by either donating a bed or volunteering some time with the animals at the shelter."
The City has partnered with Kuranda USA, which manufactures chew-resistant cot-style pet beds, to provide animals at the shelter with comfortable resting places up off the concrete floor.
Community members can visit the Kuranda website to donate a bed to Animal Care Services at a 28 percent discount.
Animal Care Services is always looking for volunteers to help walk dogs, spend time with cats and provide other assistance. The shelter is located near the Columbus Municipal Airport at 2730 Arnold Drive, and can be reached at 376-2505.

You are here
There will come a day, many years from now, when I'll look back on last night's dinner and wonder if it really happened. The 200 Plus Years of Charleston Cooking event at Hominy Grill was one of those intimate Holy City affairs where a collective of extraordinary personalities—legendary chefs, purveryors, writers, and appreciators—converge to create a sort of mythic moment, at least to this young writer. Last night it was to pay homage to the history that is Charleston's culinary tradition. How lucky to be a part of it.
Arriving solo (and quickly accepting a sweet cup of St. Cecilia's Punch) I'd been curios as to who would be my seat mates. Imagine my surprise when I found myself kitty corner to Atlanta magazine restaurant and food critic Bill Addison, a biscuit toss away from Nathalie Dupree, one seat down from Teresa Taylor of the Post & Courier, directly across from our own Charleston magazine contributor and food editor, Marion Sullivan, and shoulder to shoulder with Ted Lee. Best I keep my mouth shut and listen to these fonts of culinary knowledge, I thought to myself.
Each course from chefs Robert Stehling, Kevin Johnson, Chris Hastings, and Jimmy Hagood, began with an historical snapshot, courtesy of the Lee brothers, describing the plate's roots and preparation with entertaining and enlightening tidbits. Crab stuffed flouder with "slaw," Hominy hushpuppies, and lemon buerre blanc started the meal. It was described as a classic Charleston dish and one chef Robert Stehling had instructed the kitchen staff keep simple, the way it was meant to be served. Visiting wine pro, Tuck Beckstoffer of St. Helena, California paired it with a "75" Sauvignon blanc '10.
Petite Le Crueset cocottes delivered plate number two: guinea hen and herb dumplings. As Stehling told us, "I could have served you chicken, but you can get that here tomorrow." The tiny dish was devoured in just a few bites and as my seatmate Susan Johnson, wife of The Grocery's chef Johnson said, it reminded her of her grandmother's chicken and dumplings and how she and Kevin had spent many a go attempting to recreate the heirloom receipt. "We finally got it right and now that's one my boys favorite dishes," she explained. "Which is nice because it's like a part of my grandmother is being shared with them, whenever we make it." A testament to the heartwarming nostalgia a classic recipe can conjur.
The next dish, Rosebank shrimp purloo, required a debate. "What is the absolute correct way to spell it, purloo, purlieu, or pilau?" I asked Ted Lee. Let the record state that Mr. Lee deemed the spelling "purloo" accurate. I shall henceforth spell it as such in Charleston magazine and any letters to the contrary, dear readers, may be directed to Mr. Lee.
Chef Johnson's slow roasted leg of pork with greens, roasted seasonal vegetables and rice with red pea gravy arrived next and was a beautiful collection of Lowcountry flavors. As Jimmy Hagood explained, the rice used is a new strain of Charleston Gold, a descendant of our own Carolina Gold but with a touch of basmatti and a longer grain. According to Hagood the dinner was the first time the Charleston Gold had been served in a restaurant.
Diners grabbed extra helpings of the delicious upside-down cake with already in-season local strawberry-rhubarb. And then it was time for the most anticipated sip of the night, Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20-year bourbon. Shots were poured and a round of the applause was made for Julian Van Winkle who explained a bit about the bourbon making process—namely that it's a long one!
Satiated and suddenly aware of the time, I looked down the table, grabbed a snapshot of the culinary collective and departed thinking on Shakespeare's Prospero. "Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits, and are melted into air, into thin air."
The voice of Quiana Parler rocking from the Bus Shed zoomed me back to reality walking into the After Hours party. Good Lord what a good time! Partygoers were dancing and singing and eating and imbibing. But I'd arrived so late, within moments it was time to depart yet again, this time headed to FIG for an after party whose reputation preceeded it.
Monsoon weather could not keep the merriment at bay. Throngs of F and B folks and friends of the festival wandered between an outdoor tent, the kitchen, and the bar at chef Mike Lata's award-winning restaurant. I only saw one overly enthusiastic attendee be carried out and the likes of Gabrielle Hamilton and George Mendes were seen to be having a good time. Someone named Tater bought me a drink. What more could I ask for?
Then, while I was deep in conversation with someone or another, my friend Lindsay looked down at the floor and found a piece of paper—a Hominy Grill 200 Plus Years of Charleston Cooking menu, with four signatures: Julain Van Winkle, Ted and Matt Lee, and Robert Stehling. "Did you drop this?" She asked. No, but I'd take it. A fantastic memento - such the stuff as dreams are made of.

Not only is this divine dessert easy to make, but it's almost fat free!
You can use two 4-serving-size packages of raspberry-flavored gelatin instead of one 8-serving-size package. Or replace the sugar-free raspberry gelatin with regular raspberry-flavored gelatin.
If you are serving a smaller group, you can easily cut this recipe in half. Bake cake as directed on package for two 9-inch loaf pans and freeze one cake for later. Use half the ingredients, and layer them in a 1 1/2-quart serving bowl.
