The most surprising news to come out of this Tim Dahlberg-penned update on the ongoing drama that is The Michael Vick Story is that he's scheduled to get out of jail next July. That's only 8 months away, people! Better start dusting off those old Ron Mexico jokes, post haste. You can't expect to hit the ground running when Vick once again walks among the free if you don't start warming up those joke muscles now! The other part of the article that has us intrigued is this little section, where Vick lays out his future plans:
Buried in the hundreds of pages of paper detailing Vick's financial woes the other day in federal bankruptcy court was the declaration that not only does Vick expect to be reinstated in the NFL upon his release but also believes he will "be able to earn a substantial living" playing quarterback once again.
No doubt Vick believes he's going to get signed solely because the media frenzy is going to make him a huge draw, large enough for an enterprising owner to take a chance on him. And listen, there's no doubt Vick is going to get people into the stands. The only question is if they'll be carrying protest signs. Vick wants to play, but what team would risk it? [AP]

JERSEY CITY, N.J. October 23, 2012 – The parking lot at the Five Corners Branch Library, 678 Newark Avenue in Jersey City, will be closed for use tomorrow, Wednesday, October 24, 2012, for a 12-hour period, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., due to construction work by PSE&G.
Consequently, the Bookmobile of the Jersey City Free Public Library will be off-road on Wednesday, October 24th. For extra measure, the Five Corners Branch Library will be closed, as well.
PSE&G has been upgrading its North East Grid in the Five Corners area for the last couple of weeks, and now, the transformer will be replaced. Oddly enough, the transformer is located underneath the parking lot of the Five Corners Branch Library.
"While we have to endure one day's worth of inconvenience, it is clear that PSE&G's upgrades will enhance the service of electricity for years to come," said Library Director Priscilla Gardner.
For the latest on programs, events, and special announcements please follow the Library on Facebook or Twitter at Jersey City Free Public Library. Visit us on the web at www.jclibrary.org for all information on the Library, including all press releases in The Press Room. As of today, October 23, 2012, the Jersey City Free Public Library has 220,416 valid card members.

I admire you I really do. Not feeling the love for it make sit really hard to get a grip on. I'd have probably been tempted to torch it and start over. That's why you need friends like JoFY!

By Graham Readfearn • Thursday, February 2, 2012 - 17:50
WHEN it comes to climate change science, as with most things in life, it pays to listen to actual experts with a solid background in their field.
Work undertaken in the National Climate Centre during the period 1985 to 1998 mainly centred on climate database management and climate monitoring activities, with the National Climate Centre responsible for the management of the national climate database known as ADAM (Australian Data Archive for Meteorology). Climate monitoring activities included improving the datasets for monitoring climate variability and change.The processes and methodologies developed within the National Climate Centre have established that Australia has significantly warmed since 1910. A warming trend was established and published by the National Climate Centre during the period of 1985 to 1998. Mr Kininmonth was a contributing author for the observational chapter of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Second Assessment, Climate Change 1995.Aside from some limited research activity on historical observations, The National Climate Centre had no formal role in undertaking or directing climate change research during the period of 1985 to 1998. Specifically, the National Climate Centre did not have responsibility for climate change attribution work (i.e., linking observed climate change to CO2 emissions/concentrations). Such work in Australia was undertaken in the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre, CSIRO and the University sector during the 1980s and 1990s.The role of the National Climate Centre was, and still is, somewhat distinct from the Bureau's research operations, which were formerly managed through the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC). The research centre has primary responsibility for climate change research. The BMRC is now part of the joint Bureau-CSIRO Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research (CAWCR). Scientists in CAWCR contribute significantly to international climate change research, including work on the link between increasing greenhouse gases and climate change.

Whatzup, Doc?
Mr Kininmonth makes an ideal spokesperson, being a person with no relevant experience yet making exaggerated claims about his credentials. No wonder he gets on well with lordy lordy Monckton, that paragon of virtue and expert on everything.
Why, if we could not get such eminent leaders to talk to the media, we would have to put up with, oh, I dunno, maybe a climate scientist or two. Imagine how boring that would be: WSJ and Fox reduced to reporting facts. Horrible idea.

"The group also debunked the misleading notion that global warming had stopped. "Climate experts know that the long-term warming trend has not abated in the past decade," the group wrote. "In fact, it was the warmest decade on record. Observations show unequivocally that our "planet is getting hotter."
Benny Peiser is one of the leading sources of the misinformation campaign that there has been no global warming this century, with the graph on the home page of his GWPF website. Can anyone point me at the data that explains the contradiction between that graph and the above statement that "it was the warmest decade on record"?
shindig replied on Permalink
let's look at a longer timeframe shall we?
Keith I'm not sure which graph you're referring to from the GWPF - is it this one? http://www.thegwpf.org/the-observatory/4868-the-mail-on-sunday-the-met-office-and-the-temperature-standstill.html (that's the only one I can find on the GWPF front page).
As you can see, the GWPF graphic is a tiny snapshot of time - ie only 13 years (1997-2012), which suits the denier claims of hottest years.
In contrast, check out this one that shows a much longer timeframe (up to 2009, but 2010 was hotter than 2009 so that data would have gone up) of 130 years. Then you get to see what everyone is talking about. Could even be described as a hockey stick.
To take just a ten year window to make claims about the long term trend is just silly - and pretty unscientific in terms of looking at climate change.

"with the graph on the home page of his GWPF website."
I could only see one on the banner that went from 2001 to 2011. Its the ol escalator trick.
Obviously, a 'skeptic" would want to narrow in on any leveling out & cherry pick that as evidence. Ignoring the overall trend.
"To take just a ten year window to make claims about the long term trend is just silly - and pretty unscientific in terms of looking at climate change."
Exactly, he GWPF/Monckton/Carter/WUWT/Plimer/Audit/Depot/Nova etc etc are looking at small variations & cherry picking any flat or downturn, then completely erasing the long term trend. I like this short video on trend & variation.
Keith MacDonald replied on Permalink
Shindig and Phil M, Yes, it
Shindig and Phil M,
Yes, it was the graph on their front page banner that I meant.
I know the arguments about cherry picking and short term trends, but surely the evidence that the same period was the warmest on record should trump that. The GWPF are making as much mileage out of that claim as they are about "climagate", so it would be good to have a straightforward way to discredit their graph, which the hard of thinking can understand:
(Study links dimwits to conservative ideology)

"The GWPF are making as much mileage out of that claim as they are about "climagate",so it would be good to have a straightforward way to discredit their graph, which the hard of thinking can understand:"
Skeptical science has covered the whole sorry Daily Mail & GWPF saga in detail.
Lots of easy graphs there to check out. A noticable absence in the comments is the usual "skeptics" with science background or training. They know the Daily Mail & GWPF stories are con jobs, where the only acceptance they would gain would be on WUWT, where commenters jettison objectivity & critical thinking. It is left to a brave, but ignorant denier Elsa.
Keith MacDonald replied on Permalink
Timely article
Phil, thanks for the link to that timely article on skepticalscience.com. I enjoyed the graphic depictions for the skeptics' guide to global warming!
Phil M replied on Permalink

I wonder how long it will be before the denialati start trying to cherry pick the lowering sea levels discovered between 2010-2011? No doubt the Daily Mail & GWPF will have articles for their kool aid loving fans like " so much for global warming causing sea level rises".
When so much water is picked up out of the warming oceans & dumped on Australia, Asia & South America, its easily explained.

Did it make an overall difference for Australia's Drought?
Just curious.. You're from somewhere over there right?
Is Australia's drought over? Has food production returned to the affected regions?

"Just curious.. You're from somewhere over there right?"
"Is Australia's drought over?"
Mostly , yes. There are pockets here & there that didnt get a drenching last year & are still in drought.
But this year Western QLD & Northern NSW have recorded record floods again for the 2nd year in a row.
Some town have been completely evacuated this time with 13M (42 feet) flooding. Reinforcing the link that I posted above from Yale that so much water was sucked out of the pacific & dumped on QLD & other parts of the world, that ocean levels actually dropped.

Help to ID old .22 please.
Hi folks,
Inherited a single shot .22 recently, but having trouble finding out what it is and where to get parts for it.
I am pretty sure this is just a mass produced/no name rifle, with the only writing on the barrel being - HNC Joosten, Hamburg Model 29D -. Mr Joosten I think was probably just an importer of goods into New Zealand some time ago (doesn't exist now) - similar to Sears in the USA? I realise the shelf value of this rifle would be next to nothing, but the sentimental side is great, so looking to get it back up to scratch is possible (others have had a go as you can see in photos).
It appears the back of the bolt needs to be pulled backward to cock the pin, it will not cock on just closing the bolt. I know there is a extractor/ejector bit missing, I can remember seeing it years ago - and would like to try and track down a possible replacement (any suggestions?).
From the internet, I think the stock looks more like a FN/Pieper/Baynard but I am not sure. The only markings on the stock are FEB 1962 scracthed in behind the butt plate, but am almost certain this is a personal rather than factory touch.
Hopefully someone out there can identify the actual model this rifle is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks kindly.

The crowned N is a German proofmark, and HNC Joosten was a manufacturer based in Hamburg, but they likely went out of business in the 1920s or 30s, so it looks like you'd have to hand-make any replacement parts. I wish I had some better news for you.

It looks a lot like this GECO (Germany), so-named because GECO arms were marketed since 1877 by the catalog (GECO) owned by Gustav Genschow & Co, Hamburg.
AFAIK, those rifles were sold in the 1930's

I want to say it's a Cooey Canuck, but don't old me to that just yet. The bolt style and cocking method are that of Cooey.
If you could post some more photo's, such as the top of the receiver, the trigger, the bolt it would be appreciated.

Thank you very much folks for your feedback so far, most appreciated. A few more photos attached of bolt and receiver and trigger to see if that narrows it down. Found HNC Joosten still actually exists in Hamburg, and they are importers/exporters, so have sent them the details and am awaiting reply - see what happens. Any more info out there would be greatfully received.

Could there really be two H.N.C. Joostens around? In any case, the paper is an interesting look at days gone by in NZ. In case you need more eddikayshun, Hakihea is Maori for December.

Thanks folks, a couple photos of receiver top (hopefully they are what you are after. There are no markings any where on receiver (been over everything with magnifying glass) - except for a crown over N on R/H side of breech.
The receiver certainly looks closest to a GECO so far (thanks PetahW), but the bolt looks closest to a Cooey (thanks Mr_Raw) - but looking through alot of photos on the web there is not much difference between makes and models around this era of single shots.
I still have not however come across a trigger mechanism that even colsely resembles the straight single plate this one has. The rear sight is also a bit of an anomoly (Sp?) - is there a comb piece missing from this?
There could well be 2 Mr Joostens, Jim. Also found this little article:
Metzger, V. And Company (Victor Metzger and Henry Joosten), Importers of Oil Engines, Dynamos, and Batteries, Gore Street, Bluff. This busineess was established in 1899, and is conducted at the engineering establishment of Mr V. Metzjer.
and this is the current info from HNC Joosten in Hamburg today (via google translate):
Machinery and equipment exporters, toy exporters, optics, toys, export, metal and metal goods wholesale, tools exporters trade, wholesale trade, mechanics, exporters, iron machining, sheet metal and metal goods exporters, export counseling, sheet metal and metal goods, watches and jewelery, export and import, importers, tools, flowers, bristles and animal hair exporters, metal products, iron working, iron, iron wholesaler tires exporters, machinery and equipment, flower importer, flower exporters, precision engineering and optics-exporters, sales, metal goods, buy metal, bristles and animal hair, import, exporters and importers, watches and jewelery exporters, tires, import, Export, Foreign Trade, export Agency, bed springs and down, bed springs and down-exporters, tools, game merchandise
I don't know but my simple take on it is just putting these 2 together they may be the same company?? I really don't know though.
Thanking you all very much again for your time and patience.

What a shame - I was hoping there'd be at least a trace of a maker's mark atop the front receiver ring.

We keep a CLOSE eye on DESSERT.
Foodie Friday
Happy Hour Friday
That pea salad does look good! I've eaten it before, but not for a long, long time. I don't dare eat the ice cream or I'd be crashed on the couch within 20 minutes. :-)
Hope you have a nice evening.
Oh BJ what a yummy dinner! Thanks for sharing!
Good luck with the move. I can't wait to see pics of the new place!
Your dinner sounds so good. I have to try that pea salad. Resting is good, BJ, when you are going all day long! xo
You are one hard worker and that pea salad looks good. I have never heard of that before.
I know the feeling of tiredness due to painting, as it seemed that was how I spent last summer and fall.
My Mr P is the steak griller around here, our menu this evening was very similar to your last night dinner, steak, english peas and salad, but no dessert tonight as I have not been a good girl lately when it comes to sweets, so I am settling for sweet coffee tonight, and drooling over your cookies and ice cream.
Please don't over due it,
BJ, I know you're worn out! Painting is hard work. I want to try the English Pea salad. It looks so delish!
Get some rest!
Peanuts? That is a surprise.
Thank you for the info on the pea salad. That looks as if it is something that we would enjoy.
Don't work too hard...
Just saw you over on a comment where there was a rock fireplace, now where was I? Vintage on a Dime. Between her decor and your meal...what a day! Yum, your dinner looks great. I'm still wondering about your having moved. Guess I need to browse more on your blog?
Would love to have you stop by and say hey - I'm posting w/Liz TTT for a change.
Great to see ya! Jenn
You are so funny BJ. I wish that sofa belonged to me too, lol... That is a great pea salad I must try... with helsman of course... And the best is always last, that desert looks great...
Wow, you did good with this meal...and after all that work! I know the new place will speak to us and have bj written all over it! Take care my friend and get some much needed rest...Mr Sweet too!
BJ that meal looks absolute scrumptious!!!
Hope you post pictures of your move.
God bless.
BJ that meal looked so yummy! I love the pea salad..just never heard of adding those peanuts! Interesting! 😉
Be sure to rest and not over do!
Hi BJness! Oh, I know you must be so busy getting everything together. Mr. Sweets is a great guy making you dinner. I love pea salad but have never had it with peanuts and that sounds so good.
Dessert! Yummy!
Take care and don't won't too hard.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Ooooh, love that couch (and the deep porch it must be sitting on!) Grilled steak, it's supposed to get up to 45 degrees next week, sounds like a great time to grill! Don't overtax yourself, and don't worry about blogging. There are only so many hours in a day, we'll all still be here!
Your dinner sounds great. Take time to rest once in awhile. Painting is quite a chore. Take care and have a blessed evening. Madeline
Bless you little "pea pickin' heart"!!!
Painting is quite a chore!!!
So glad "Mr. Sweet" was in the mood for grilling while you were mixing up the salad!!!
"Sharing the load lightens the burden"...my Grandmother said that all the time!!!
Take care of yourselves, pace yourselves and take breaks!!!
The pea salad sounds delicious! And so does the dessert. I keep my eye on dessert too! :-)
Oh- that sounds good and I hope you don't overdo it and get too tired. We don't need you sick!!! Are those peas canned? I have never had that salad- xo Diana
God speed on your painting! All the blogs will be here when you get done!
Can't WAIT to see all you are accomplishing......
Mmmmm, supper looks good. I love pea salad but haven't ever put peanuts in it. We put Hellman's, boiled eggs, a little pickle relish, and shredded cheddar. Yummo!
That supper sure looks delicious.....and the dessert, well, it looks like something we'd both love!
That's a pretty fancy meal for people who are as busy as you are right now. I think I'd have been tired just making a sandwich!
I like the sound of that salad, I think I'll try it next time we're barbecuing.
It's hot and I had a big serving of icecream. yours looks like my hokey pokey icecream, thanks for visiting.
Never heard of English Pea Salad, so I wrote it down. :-)
Hubbies of our generation, are super at steping-up-to-the-plate, when needed! :-)
Pace yourself. Don't get too tired. 'Auntie' sezzzzzz... :-)
Looks yummy to me! AHHH a fresh coat of paint is so wonderful, a clean slate:) LOVE that striped sofa! Enjoy your day, hope you get a little rest! HUGS!
Everything you serve looks fantastically good! PH and I went through what you are going through four years ago and I never want to do it again. My son in law did all our painting and it was the entire inside of the house including the ceilings. I hope you two are not up to anything like that!

Rough translation via google
I'm 41 years and I understand what is the problem, says her/his character in the film. Life is too contemporary.
Don DeLillo's writing - and the film is very faithful to the novel - it was for me the extraordinary discovery of a universe.
A cold world, without humanity. That forces us to face the nightmare of desire, anxiety to possess everything, the obsession to win, to climb higher up, looking for a "more" is not there.
Although his character is very contemporary, mixing sex and business, and perhaps no longer believe in anything, not even art. What effect did it?
Didi Fincher is a lost woman, just like Eric Packer is lost. It's just one person, its apparent weight is actually a hiding place where reigns anxiety. Cosmopolis speaks of our need to procure money, sex, power and mix everything. A very dangerous game.
Io Donna: Robert Pattinson, who is the lead in Cosmopolis, is a global icon, a living image of beauty and youth. A perfect choice.
Juliette: I met Robert for the first time on set. I must admit that I had not seen his films. And I found in him a fierce passion for cinema, he knows the cinema much better than me. It was lovely and fun to work with him, he's a man who's very ambitious to produce and direct his films one day.

NCAA denies Iowa's jersey request to honor teammate
- The NCAA denied Iowa%27s request to make special jerseys honoring a fallen teammate
- The 20th anniversary of Chris Street%27s death was Saturday
- Street%2C a standout forward%2C died in an automobile accident in the middle of his junior season at Iowa
IOWA CITY, Ia. – Iowa's basketball staff wanted to do something special to honor the late Chris Street during Saturday's game against Wisconsin.
It was Iowa coach Fran McCaffery's idea to have every player on his team wear "STREET' on the back of their gold game jerseys, where their last names are. The 20th anniversary of Street's death was Saturday. Street, a standout forward, died in an automobile accident in the middle of his junior season.
Jerry Strom, Iowa's director of basketball operations, contacted Powers Manufacturing in Waterloo, the company that makes the Hawkeyes' game uniforms, to see if they could produce "STREET" nameplates to be sewn on the back of the existing jerseys.
Strom also checked with the NCAA to get approval, since that body has rules in place regarding uniforms. The NCAA denied Iowa's request.
"If you read the rule itself it's pretty self explanatory," McCaffery said today. "In that case it would have to be an exception granted. And I think the issue was there have been so many exception requests, I think they decided, "The rule stands as it is.' And that's pretty much what it was. If you start granting exceptions, then every game somebody wants to do something for some other reason, some other legitimate cause. They just didn't want to do that."
So Strom and McCaffery started to kick around other ideas. It was Strom who thought to put Street's gold No. 40 jersey on the first chair of the Iowa bench. McCaffery was all for it.
So when the lights in Carver-Hawkeye Arena were dimmed as Iowa's starting lineup was introduced, Strom pulled Street's jersey out of a bag and draped it over the chair. That seat, next to assistant coach Kirk Speraw, was kept empty during the game.
"I did rub the jersey a few times for good luck," Speraw said after Iowa's 70-66 victory.
After the game, McCaffery and his team gave the Street family the game ball in an emotional ceremony inside the Iowa locker room.

EVERETT — Kat Oberman was heading back to bed the morning of Feb. 9, sick to her stomach with flu, when the young girl knocked on her door.
The girl said she was in Camp Fire and selling candy for a fundraiser. Would she like to buy some?
Oberman said she was very sick and would have to pass. The girl politely left. And Oberman headed off to bed.
The next day, Oberman worked herself up to take out the trash. On her doorstep, she found a can of chicken-and-rice soup, and a 3-by-5 card with a smiley face and this note handwritten in red ink: "Get well soon from the Camp Fire girls. I heard soup helps."
That note is now on Oberman's refrigerator. And she has been sharing the story with friends and family ever since. She also relayed the story to the Camp Fire Snohomish County Council, which has yet to identify the young candy seller.
"She deserves so much kudos," Oberman said. "She needs to understand, I'll probably have that note on my refrigerator for years. I'll look at it and know there are amazing, thoughtful people out there. I don't know if she knows how much she touched me. Those little acts of kindness — they go so far."
Camp Fire is a national co-ed youth group serving boys and girls from 3 years through high school, as well as the entire family. The clubs and camps aim to empower young people to make their world a better place.
Local leaders say the young candy seller exemplifies what Camp Fire stands for.
"We are proud to have this young lady represent Camp Fire so well," said Michael Deal, director of operations for Camp Fire Snohomish County.
Oberman knows firsthand the benefits of Camp Fire.
Growing up in Kirkland, she was involved in Camp Fire from a young age, starting as a Bluebird (now called Starflight), all the way through high school.
"It's a great organization," said Oberman, now 50. "I like the fact that it promotes goodwill. I like that it's community oriented. You were really taught to think of others — just like this young girl did."
By the way, that candy sale? It continues through today.
Need candy?
Camp Fire kids are selling a variety of candy for $5. If you would like to buy some, call 425-258-5437 or visit the Camp Fire Training &Resource Center at 4312 Rucker Ave., Everett. But act fast. Today's the last day of the sale. More info: www.campfireusasnohomish.org.

Big Day South 2018
Big Day South comes home to Busan for a day of art and music. Angle Magazine's flagship event is coming home. The audio-visual festival returns with a bang after a one year hiatus, with the biggest line-up to date. Taking place on April 28th in four venues around the PNU area of Busan, the festival celebrates the creatives who live and work in the southern half of the country. The ethos of community and collaboration remains as strong as ever, with bi-lingual music site DoIndie adding their experience and expertise to the event. Given the expansion of the festival, the variety of performers has also grown. Participants come from Daegu, Gwangju, Jinju, Jeju, Ulsan, Changwon, and of course, Busan. The definition of community has also opened up to include Seoul artists who regularly travel south and have built a place for themselves in the southern scene. With a history of showcasing what happens outside of Seoul, this year the festival will be part of an overall effort to create a stronger link between the two communities. Continuing the theme of collaboration, Busan arts collective Exotic Beasts will team up with Seoul collective Crazy Multiply for a joint exhibition at Art Gallery Open. The space will also hold interactive art, and screen printing by MINI...Read More

Summit County companies collect, repurpose Steamboat cooking oil
Steamboat Springs — Dara Lor wants to deconstruct the metaphor of the supply chain.
Instead of a series of steps or links from suppliers to customers, he describes the system for Summit Greasecycling as a loop.
"The concept is to infuse as much of the benefit into the users," Lor said.
Lor and his co-owner, Dan Fernandez, have built a business around upcycling used cooking oil, but while many other companies are angling for the same restaurant clients, they're setting themselves apart with a Colorado-centric approach and a business-sense appeal.
The Summit County-based company that started in 2007 — now with 12 restaurant clients in Steamboat Springs and hundreds across the state — makes sure the oil it purifies in Breckenridge stays or comes back to Colorado in whatever product it eventually becomes.
The majority of the oil goes to ClearEcos in Boulder and is made into biodiesel; a byproduct of the purifying process goes into a degreasing cleaner that is sold at a discount to participating restaurants; and part of the oil goes into Summit Soap, a natural soap company also owned by Lor and Fernandez.
Fernandez was giving a demonstration of the soap-making process Tuesday at Kneading Hands on Oak Street while Lor explained Summit Greasecycling's business model.
They have ideas for many more products to make from the upcycled vegetable oil, but the soap is in full swing and gaining steam.
Looking part chemist with protective eyewear and gloves but punctuating steps with Emeril Lagasse-style exclamations, Fernandez poured the oil into a metal pot and stirred in the handful of other ingredients while explaining the process. The oil makes up half the recipe, Fernandez said, and about 80 percent of the ingredients come from within 200 miles of their headquarters.
A bar of Summit Soap bought in downtown Steamboat Springs could be made with oil purified from your breakfast at Creekside Cafe and Grill.
Joe Walker, general manager of Sweetwater Grill, said the big, international company he was using to recycle cooking oil paid Sweetwater for the opportunity, but Lor's pitch swayed Walker.
"I really just like the fact he's using it for a bunch of really unique products," he said, adding that Sweetwater likes to use as many local or Colorado vendors as possible.
"Dara is much more connected in a personal way," Michael Fragola, of Cottonwood Grill, said about why he switched from the large firm he was using. "And he gives you a discount on his products."
Summit Greasecycling gives restaurants a discount on the cleaner made from the byproduct of the purifying process.
"I'm pretty satisfied with it," Fragola said. "And I save a bunch of money."
Cottonwood will be closing at the end of August, but Three Peaks Grill, another of Fragola's restaurants, also is using Summit Greasecycling.
"It's much more connected to community," Fragola said.
"When you do things sustainably the right way, it's the best business decision anyway," Lor said.
A new biodiesel plant is being constructed in Boulder that will have an annual capacity of more than 11 million gallons, further closing the loop by ensuring all the biodiesel will be made in Colorado in addition to being sold here.
As the collection and purifying business continues to grow, Lor said, he hopes more of the oil starts to go into other products, as well. In the future, chains in Bike Town USA could be greased with oil that originally came from Sweet Pea.
"Two guys that never really thought they'd be in business are running two separate businesses that are intertwined," Fernandez said.

I don't like critics. Sorry you guys! *referring to the critics*
Every movie that I like the critics disapprove.
There are a lot of movies that the audience loves and the movies become box office hits, but the critics write their unpleasant reviews on every good movie calling them "plain, pop - meaning "sh**", for an average viewer" insulting not only the movie but also the public.
Critics are critics - read "those who work to put a movie into the dirt".

« Preparedness For Common Standards: A Work in Progress | Main | Grant to Help Texas School System Become a 'STEM District' »
Making Room for History, Science, Art in the Common-Core Era
Several education experts recently made the case for the importance of ensuring topics such as history, science, and the arts get adequate classroom time and attention as states and districts begin to implement the Common Core State Standards.
The issue was the focus of a March 15 event hosted by the Washington-based research and advocacy group Common Core, which has just announced plans to create a set of curriculum maps in history and geography pegged to the common standards. Although the common standards primarily cover mathematics and English/language arts, they also address literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects.
"There is no such thing as doing the nuts and bolts of reading in kindergarten through 5th grade without coherently developing knowledge in science and history and the arts. Period. It is false. It is a fiction," said David Coleman, a lead writer of the English/language arts standards, according to a blog post published by Common Core.
The blog also features comments from other panelists, including Carol Jago, a past president of the National Council of Teachers of English, Lewis Huffman, an education associate for social studies at the South Carolina Department of Education; and Steve Farkas, president of FDR Group.
Last December, Common Core released survey results finding that about two-thirds of teachers say disciplines such as art, science, and social studies are getting crowded out of the school day.
In her remarks, Common Core President Lynne Munson also raised concerns about finding a place for these subjects in the curriculum. And she elaborated on her organization's plans for new curriculum maps in history and geography.
The maps will be based on content drawn from "the best existing state social studies standards" and will address the new common core literacy standards in history and social studies, said Munson, a former deputy director of the National Endowment for the Humanities under President George W. Bush.
"They will be a guide that elementary and middle school teachers can use to build their students' knowledge in history and geography as they address and reinforce standards," she said.
Last summer, Common Core issued a revised set of curriculum maps it has developed for the English/language arts standards. The revised maps, which unlike an earlier version are not free, seek to provide a coherent sequence of thematic curriculum units that connect the skills outlined in the ELA standards with suggested student objectives, texts, and activities.

Leo Robitschek On Getting Prepped for the Manhattan Cocktail Classic
The Manhattan Cocktail Classic kicks off tonight with the Gala at the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue. Organizers expect to serve something like 22,000 cocktails tonight; prepping that many drinks takes some planning and hard work. I talked to Leo Robitschek, bar manager at NoMad and Eleven Madison Park, about the process of preparing and batching up cocktails for such a large gathering.
The Gala is probably the biggest cocktail event of the year in New York City. I understand you'll be prepping Campari cocktails for the event.
When Campari emailed me asking if I would work alongside gaz regan and Jacques Bezuidenhout, two individuals who I truly respect and admire, I was honored and excited.
Tell me about the cocktails you'll be serving.
I will be serving a proprietary cocktail called the Pabo Amargo. It's a variation on a Boulevardier using Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, Diplomatico Rum, East India Solera Sherry, and Campari.
I've written before about making bottle-sized batches of cocktails for parties. But in that case, the process entailed taking a 3-ounce cocktail and batching it up to a 25-ounce bottle. You're obviously working on a much larger scale here, but is the idea the same? Just scale each ingredient up and then adjust at the end for balance?
Batching isn't a perfect science. For the most part you can simply scale up the ingredients, but you should always decrease items that are concentrated in flavors such as absinthe, bitters, and Chartreuse. It's nearly impossible to remove an ingredient from a batch once you've mixed it in. Adding more of an ingredient to balance a cocktail, though, is easier and more cost effective.
In batching, how do you adjust for small ingredients like bitters? What's the equivalent of 1,000 dashes of bitters, for example?
This varies based on the brand of bitters. Most of the brands use different size orifice reducers for their bottles. Thanks to Dave Arnold and Don Lee we know that 41 dashes of Angostura is equivalent to 1 ounce of bitters—or 160 dashes if you use the Japanese Bitters bottles sold at Cocktail Kingdom. These measurements also have many variables such as how full the Angostura bottle is or how an individual bitter dashes. As a general rule of thumb, I initially reduce the bitters by 1/2 when batching. I then taste the batch and adjust for flavor.
Once the cocktails are batched up, how are they served? Are they kept on ice and then simply poured to order, or are they shaken over ice just before service?
You can chill and pre-dilute a batch and then just pour it, but we choose to not pre-dilute the cocktails. We'll be shaking or stirring each one to order.
Are there certain ingredients, such as fresh juices, that degrade when batched in advance? If so, how do you account for that? With ingredients such as fizzy waters or sparkling wines, do you usually add those at service, to keep them from going flat?
The citrus conversation is like opening a can of worms. There are many schools of thought when it comes to citrus, including types of juicers and shelf life. I generally batch citrus in advance but will only use the batch for the first 12 hours. Carbonated beverages are usually not batched and are instead incorporated into the cocktail as a finishing ingredient, unless you are planning to carbonate the batch at a later time.
Can we expect any surprises, such as bottled fizzy cocktails?
You will have to join us at the Campari bar to see...
What garnishes will you need to prepare in advance, and how many, approximately, of each kind?
We are preparing orange twists, lemon twists, and orange wheels. About 300 of each.
Ice must be a challenge at an event like the Gala. How do you make sure it stays cold and hard and frozen until service? What do you do if it starts melting?
The trick is assessing your ice and changing your stir or shake durations as a result. This is even an issue at the best bars. Fresh ice from the freezer or an ice machine is different from ice that's been sitting in a bin for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or an hour. The only way to ensure consistency is straw-tasting drinks as you serve them.

Phone outage impacting communications center
Nevada Appeal Staff Report
A phone outage has struck parts of Carson City and Washoe County, including Carson City's communications center, which takes all 911 calls.
The communication center in Carson City is having issues placing calls, although it can receive 911 calls fine, Sheriff Ken Furlong said.
"They're getting calls from the outside," he said. "The 911 lines are working."
Washoe County is advising residents to use cell phones if their land lines are not operating.

There are some lovely walks through the narrow streets and visitors can discover the rich heritage of Ménerbes on their rambles, taking in the château, the old houses or the town hall's belfry dating from the seventeenth century.
Artists have also been drawn here, attracted by the charm of the natural setting and the particular quality of the Luberon light. The great Pable Picasso himself had a house here and is remembered by the village.
In the heart of Provence, the village of Lourmarin, located 35km from Aix-en-Provence, is officially one of the " most beautiful villages in France". At the foot of the Luberon mountains, the village of Lourmarin lies beside the deep crevice of the Aiguebrun river.
Vines and olive trees flourish here, and the pride of the village of Lourmarin is its Castellas, built in the 15th century by the Argoult family.
Among the famous names who have lived here, Albert Camus bought a house in Lourmarin in 1958. The author of The Stranger was laid to rest in the cemetery in 1960.
On the heights of the Vaucluse plateau, overlooking the Le Cavaillon Plain, the village of Gordes has flourished, becoming one of the must-see places on any Provence holiday. The village is a proud member of the club of the "most beautiful villages in France".
Between Ventoux and Lubéron, the village of Gordes, built around the Château de Gordes, is a veritable labyrinth of dry stones, thanks to its strategic position close to the border.
This setting is busting with charm and character, and has been a favourite with many an artist, including Marc Chagall, Victor Vasarely and Pol Mara. The château de Gordes pays homage to these artists in its museum.
Roussillon is not just another Provencal village with its own olive oil and the song of cicadas. The village stands out in particular for its amazing ochre colour.
Legend has it that the Lady Sermonde, Guillaume de Cabestan's lover, threw herself into the void to escape the wrath of her jealous husband. Her blood stained the Roussillon lands forevermore.
Upon arriving at the site, you'll discover the flaming ochre cliffs and enter one the most beautiful villages in France. The houses are all covered in this pigment, conveying a warm and welcoming atmosphere on the village.
Take the Sentier des Ocres (the Ochre Trail) that leads to the Giant's Causeway and witness a stunning array of colours in an enchanting landscape.

Hawkeye star arrested on alcohol-related charges
Micah Hyde one of three players charged
Hawkeye senior cornerback Micah Hyde, a team captain, was arrested early Saturday morning for public intoxication and interference with official acts.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports back-up tight end Ray Hamilton and reserve offensive lineman Drew Clark were also charged in separate incidents.
Hyde was reportedly among a group of about 15 people that would not leave Old Capitol Brew Works near closing time early Saturday morning.
After officers arrived, the staff pointed out which subjects were involved, including Hyde. Police confronted the group outside the bar, at which time Hyde and the rest of the group ignored the command and started running.
The newspaper reports that police chased Hyde, who was apprehended two blocks away. According to the police report, Hyde had "bloodshot watery eyes and an odor of an alcoholic beverage" and showed 6 of 6 signs of impairment and refused a post-arrest breathalyzer.
Hyde stated "he had drunk a vodka/Sprite, a shot and a Bud Light earlier in the night."
Hyde, 21, was booked into the jail and released Saturday morning.
Both charges are simple misdemeanors. Each charge carries a maximum $625 fine and up to 30 days in jail.
Hamilton, 19, was charged with presence on premise (licensed liquor establishment) after hours. Persons under 21 years of age are not allowed in bars past 10 p.m. in Iowa City.
Clark, 22, was arrested for public intoxication at 2:40 a.m. Friday at 618 Bowery St.
Iowa (3-2, 1-0) is off this weekend before playing at Michigan State next Saturday. The Iowa athletic department has had no comment.

Nasdaq against the worldJune 7, 2012: 12:58 PM ET
Nasdaq's CEO Bob Greifeld doesn't have too many friends in the financial industry these days.
Greifeld nonetheless appeared ebullient as he bounded onto the stage at the Sandler O'Neill + Partners Global Exchange and Brokerage Conference in New York Thursday morning.
Greifeld's presentation followed a panel where the CEOs of two competing exchanges BATS Europe and Direct Edge decried Nasdaq's (NDAQ) plan, or "scheme" as they each called it, to spend $40 million to compensate trading firms for losses suffered because of problems with Facebook's initial public offering.
Direct Edge's CEO William O'Brien called it "illegal" and said that Nasdaq must return to the drawing board.
Knight Capital (KCG) CEO Tom Joyce said his firm and others would use "all avenues" to pursue appropriate compensation from Nasdaq when asked whether litigation might be a possibility.
"Nasdaq made the decision that created this problem and that the industry suffered through, and Nasdaq must create a solution to the problem. This is not the solution," said Joyce in his presentation.
Knight Capital has pegged its Facebook (FB) related losses as between $30 million and $35 million. In his presentation, Joyce estimated that total losses among all broker-dealers are probably closer to $200 million.
Not wanting to be outdone, trading execution broker ITG's (ITG) CEO Bob Gasser called Nasdaq's response to Facebook "an unmitigated disaster."
Despite the increasingly heated rhetoric, Greifeld didn't appear to veer from his script during his presentation. He reiterated Nasdaq's plan to compensate investors but said his company is now waiting for SEC approval.

I've felt comfortable talking about our infertility and how we got pregnant but have been hesitant to talk about the pregnancy itself in fear of hurting those who are still struggling with infertility (which is something I do not take lightly). But I'm done being hesitant only because if I don't document this journey, who will? Monday I hit 28 weeks, which means I'm in the third and final trimester. I've really enjoyed being pregnant and still am! Don't get me wrong- it ain't no walk in the park but just being able to have this experience is something to cherish (the good, the bad and the ugly).
Last week while I was still recovering from being sick and nursing Maddie to health from the flu, my worst pregnancy nightmare came to life when I was in a car wreck. My sister was in the passenger seat while Jordan and Maddie were in the back. I'm trying to come to peace about the situation so I won't go into great detail. The short version consist of me getting hit by a woman who was in a lane too early. Both Jordan and Maddie were upset about the ordeal and walked away with seatbelt marks on their necks. Couldn't be more thankful nothing more serious happened. Cony drove me to the ER later to be monitored for most of the evening and hearing her heartbeat was music to our ears, especially since I hadn't felt her kick for a while and had minor cramping. Since learning I was pregnant driving has been my least favorite thing to do. I have my personal reasons as to why and the night of the accident I was a complete basket-case. A week later I'm still recovering and conquering that fear.... because life must go on.
She has picked up a new cheesy "I can do no wrong" smile. And I'm not 100% certain how she learned to kiss because she comes at you with her mouth wide opened ready to slobber all over your face. I didn't think it was possible, but she just keeps getting yummier and yummier.

Three months ago, the Obama administration made a little-noticed but potentially pivotal move in the stepped-up fight against climate change: it boosted the U.S. government's official estimate of the future economic damage caused by carbon pollution.
After its first review, a panel of technical experts from 11 government agencies raised the so-called "social cost of carbon," known as SCC. The measure is used by many arms of the U.S. government to determine the financial benefits of new regulations since 2010.
The new 2020 forecast of $43 a ton was a 58 percent jump from the previous estimate, made in 2010. The issue is to be reviewed biannually.
The move should make it much easier for the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal bureaus to enact tougher measures to crack down on emissions by showing that the greater benefits of such measures will justify their costs.
But the change, both made and announced quietly, has drawn intensifying scrutiny.
Opponents of President Obama's newly invigorated climate change strategy are targeting the SCC in Congress — and possibly in court — in their efforts to knock back more rules. They argue that the method and methodology for calculating the SCC is opaque.
"This has all the characteristics of a stealth approach toward making a greenhouse gas rule more justifiable by exaggerating the social benefits," said Luke Popovich, a spokesman for the National Mining Association.
Even some supporters of greenhouse gas regulations or the use of carbon taxes have found fault in the opaque process in which the SCC was revised and the economic models used.
"These models have crucial flaws that make them close to useless as tools for policy analysis," wrote Robert Pindyck, an MIT economist, in an article that will appear in the September issue of the Journal of Economic Literature. He said certain "arbitrary" inputs could have a "huge" effect on the figure.
Attacks against the SCC are expected to intensify as Obama launches the next steps of his Climate Action Plan, which relies heavily on executive action to combat pollution from power plants, the biggest source of U.S. carbon emissions.
The EPA is to publish its new standard for carbon emissions from newly constructed power plants on September 20 — likely relying on higher SCC figures to justify the cost. New standards for existing power plants are due by June 2014.
The revised SCC may also have an impact on major fossil fuel initiatives, such as the Canada-to-U.S. Keystone XL pipeline, if the administration decides to factor it into its decision on approving the project. A new calculation could mean that the project's societal costs outweigh its benefits.
The Republican-led House of Representatives, just before members left Washington, on August 1 passed a measure introduced by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) that would prevent the EPA from using the SCC in rulemaking without congressional approval. Last week a conservative legal group filed a petition to the Energy Department to reconsider its use.
The SCC is a notional figure used in rule-making that estimates the economic damages associated with a rise in carbon emissions. It accounts for the effect of climate change in such areas as agricultural productivity and property damage from increased flood risk.
That naturally makes it a contentious figure, all the more so due to the lack of transparency around how SCC is calculated.
A panel of experts from nearly a dozen agencies, including the EPA, Energy Department, Department of Treasury and Office of Management and Budget determines the so-called cost of carbon.
The group used three different academic models to develop its estimates that "combine climate processes, economic growth, and interactions between the climate and the global economy into a single modeling framework," Howard Shelanski, head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, or OIRA, testified to Congress last month.
Patrick Traylor, an environmental litigation specialist at Washington law firm Hogan Lovells, says he expects opponents to attack the rules because the SCC "have not been subject to normal peer-reviewed scientific rigor".
Critics were also angered with the way that the SCC figure was released: in a late-May blog post by Obama's energy and climate adviser, Heather Zichal, to announce the roll out-of new Department of Energy efficiency standards for microwave ovens. She said the new standards would result in $4.6 billion in net benefits, based on the revised SCC figure.
Ari Isaacman Astles, a spokesman for the White House Office of Management and Budget, said the reason the figure was released then was because it only "became available during interagency review of the final rule."
Opponents also said they had not been given time to provide input or respond to the new figure before it was implemented.
OIRA's Shelanski defended the transparency of the inter-agency process in his congressional testimony, saying: "Agencies using the SCC values in rulemakings received extensive public comments."
Oil refiner Tesoro Corp. and coal company Peabody are among fossil-fuel based firms that have lobbied lawmakers and administration officials on the issue, according to second-quarter filings to the government.
Stephen Brown, head of government affairs for Tesoro, said in an interview that companies and some industry groups may seek petitions to change the calculation, file direct legal challenges to the SCC or file an indirect legal challenge by suing the EPA for rules using "unvetted" SCC figures.
Frank Ackerman, a senior economist at research firm Synapse Energy Economics who supports strong climate regulations, said the "anonymous task force" that calculated the first SCC in 2010 using three criticized economic models and scenarios failed to improve the process.
"The bad news is that behind the veil of secrecy, the same nonsensical methodology was used both times," he said.
Rachel Cleetus, a senior climate economist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, agreed that the models used by the interagency group were not perfect. But she said there are ways to improve the process for making the estimates.
She said the government could set up a transparent external expert review process that would allow for public comments.
"While the economic models we use to examine climate change and its impacts and costs will keep being updated, it would be a mistake to throw the baby out with the bath water," she said.

AMikes MoversExcellent. Mike's team members were excellent, well-organized and able to load much more into the PODS Movimg containers than I thought ever possible!! They were on time, honest, trustworthy and focused on excellent outcomes and protection of our goods!!- Keith L.
ALandlord GopherFrom the very first phone call my experience with Adrian Waters and Landlord Gopher was exceptional. Having had bad prior experiences with a large company that also sells real estate, I was looking for a better alternative. I had no contacts in Columbia that could advise me so I checked Angie's List. Landlord Gopher got very high ratings so I sent them an inquiry. Within an hour I got a phone call from Adrian. I was really impressed with how quickly he called me and it was after 6:00 PM! We spent 20-30 minutes discussing my situation and Landlord Gopher's business model. I decided right then to hire this company and with a couple hours we had everything under contract (all electronically BTW - a very modern and refreshing way to do business!) It just kept getting better. The property was badly in need of cleaning and painting. Adrian and I met one day at the property (our first in person meeting) to do a walk through and exchange keys. Within a week the property was super-cleaned and completely painted (including wall repairs and a two-color paint scheme) and on the market. Adrian takes care of all the details and communicates constantly and effectively. This is a very well run business with a extremely professional and knowledgeable owner who makes his clients his priority. I highly recommend this company.- Kim C.

We have never before dealt with such an amazing customer service staff. They not only guided us through the transition, but are now always ready to answer our questions."
Lisa Crabill
Owner - Haslet Veterinary Clinic - Haslet, TX
"eVetPractice is working quite well for us. We currently have two brick & mortar practices but chose eVetPractice more so because of our other "practices". We hold mobile vaccination clinics around the state and the web based software is saving us from the constant syncing of equipment that we had to do with our previous software. We have found eVP to be much more attentive to our needs as a unique veterinary practice. Because we have crews working around the state simultaneously, it creates situations for us that perhaps are not experienced by other clinics."
Russell Bush, D.V.M. - Mark A. Vara, D.V.M.
Vanguard Veterinary Associates - San Antonio, Texas
"In retrospect, switching to a new Veterinary Management Software and going paperless, and changing some procedures and straightening out all of our messy data in only 6 weeks was a bit insane.
The smart thing we did was to have eVetPractice on site for training and go live. Although eVetPractice could not be more different than IDEXX Cornerstone, it is also very logical.
Our staff was amazing at picking up the new system and eVet's support was even better. "
Jeff Gorr
Owner - Wausau Animal Hospital - Wausau, WI
"Some strengths of eVetPractice include the amazing flexibility of setup for your individual practice, super-responsive customer/technical support, access to records online anywhere, and intuitive medical records. Every time we have asked for a specific functionality, the answer has been affirmative, and a solution has been created for our needs very quickly…"

Fine MotorPreschoolers13 Comments
Trying to get Henry focused on writing, or really anything fine-motor related, has been a struggle. He was always about movement, full of energy. Too much energy to sit still and take time to learn such a thing as writing.
Yes, it worried me. He didn't seem to be 'up to par' in this area. But I let it go. He's 3 and I know writing isn't something they should be able to do, it was just the fine motor area in general that worried me.
So, when Henry started preschool this fall, the teachers had poked me about his hand grip and handedness. Once again. Worry struck. One day it was that he held his pencil too loosely, and the next it was too tight of a grip. But I let it go, thinking there wasn't much I could do about it anyway. Just modeled it correctly when I got the opportunity.
Finally, in just the last couple of months, Henry's been more and more interested in doing 'the little things'. Don't get me wrong, he's still completely full of energy and moves a lot. But he now takes time to work with his hands too.
We still haven't really worked on writing at home (although they do at school), but a couple weeks ago, we moved our chalkboard into our office area (it previously had been hung out in the garage, inaccessible).
Henry completely surprised me when he picked up the chalk.
He wrote his name.
Completely on his own.
Left to right.
Correct order.
I'm proud.
He did start directly in the middle of the chalkboard, with the biggest H he could make. There's a conversation on the hands on : as we grow Facebook page regarding this for suggestions on how to help when they're frustration from the child when they run out of room.
