While discussing the concept of 'Peak Oil' at work today, I offered that it made no sense to to invest in an expensive high mileage car (for example) in order to 'save oil'. Any oil you saved would just be used by someone else at today's low price and - in the meantime - you would put yourself at a competetive disadvantage by paying more for energy than you needed to.
The other person offered that this was an example of the "tragedy of the commons" since everyone was incentivized to use the oil and no one was incentivized to conserve it. Although I couldn't argue that it certainly looked the same, I always thought that the "commons" argument pointed to a problem with property rights - that common ownership was at the root of these sorts of problems. However, it doesn't look like oil supplies - in general - suffer from a common ownership problem.
So I'm confused with how to classify the whole situation, is it:
1) An example of the "commons" tragedy? But does that imply that "commons" is more than just property rights? or that oil supplies have ownership issues?
2) An example of something else with similar consequences? perhaps some sort of game theory?
3) A problem with the argument as a whole? (by assuming peak oil is true, am I putting some false constraint on the issue?)
Any help appreciated - even a link somewhere - I'm not sure if this is a "commons" issue or not.
This is not just a discussion for geology. Peak Oil is an interesting concept, but as with any resource, the key rationing device is the price. Conservation of oil can and will be dictated by the price alone. What seems very strange to me is that oil continues to be exclusively denominated by it's price relative to the US dollar. There are many countries throughout the world that have suggested oil be denominated relative to another currency.
What's also very interesting is that other forms of energy are denominated relative to a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) and our friends at the IRS define BOE in terms of joules (J). But why does the IRS determine this and not a convention held by the market or at least the Department of Weights and Measures? The problem with defining oil in terms of joules is that it assumes the conversion rate of oil is constant and that there's no possibility for efficiency gains. Efficiency gains in the burn rate of oil would effectively increase the amount of oil by increasing the energy derived from converting it to another form of energy.
Peak Oil could be a construct of this thinking that the energy derived from oil is constant. But it is certainly not. So why does the government hold it constant?
Two theories:
(1) the government creates the Peak Oil myth to declare the supply of oil will run out in the short-run. Many DOE estimates over the past century have declared we will run out of oil, only to have to push the estimate back with new discoveries. Efficiency gains are like new oil finds. But the myth helps to drive the push for government interefernce in the energy markets: conservation efforts, taxes, and "investments" in back-end (consumer) efficiency technologies.
(2) the Peak Oil myth is a way of controlling the means of production. Declaring that if we running out of oil justifies the capture of land to prevent from being used for E&P operations. Preventing E&P limits the supply and increases the price of oil and the inputs costs to other production. Preventing input costs from falling prevents the efficency gains throughout the rest of the economy and the corresponding fall in wholesale prices (their dreaded deflationary event in Keynesianism).
Peak Oil is a Myth
Ask any proponent of the Peak Oil Theory what the exact amount of fossil fuels the earth contains. Without knowing this amount no rational claim of Peak Oil can be made and it is thus a Myth as currently proposed.
The only entity preventing further exploration and extraction of fossil fuels is the state and the only entity negatively effecting the actual cost of fossil fuels is the state through taxes and regulations. Only the state can cause shortages of resources and any energy "crisis". In a pure free energy market all land would be available for energy production at a free market price, thus availability would be limited by cost, technology and of course actual supply. Say a hypothetical obtainable limit to our demand was reached in actual supply, long before this was reached prices of fossil fuels would rise, once fossil fuel prices rose above what other competing free market energy sources were, these cheaper energy sources would be adopted on their own. All without government intervention. The government was not needed to switch away from horses to cars. But we have no such scenario since the state is artificially creating supply shortages by restricting land access through regulations. The state is also artificially increasing energy costs above free market rates with taxes and regulations. In essence the state is creating a Peak Oil scenario to benefit the green lobby. But no such thing exists even with known reserves:

"Anarchism misunderstands the real nature of man. It would be practicable only in a world of angels and saints" - Ludwig von Mises
No. Peak Oil is a tragedy of idiotic US government policies. First, they inhibit research in alternative fuels by draining credit away from productive private sector investments to the public sector via corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, income taxes, and borrowing that fuels government debt. Second, the government refuses to take actions that would reduce the burden of high oil prices on Americans, such as allowing offshore drilling and shale oil.
Political Atheists Blog
Peak oil seems to be a theory for geology, not economics. So long as new oil is being discovered and appropriated, the supply of oil is for all purposes limitless. Once oil discoveries stop, then oil preservation becomes a rational choice.
The fallacies of intellectual communism, a compilation - On the nature of power
Actually, the latest IEA and EIA reports show that the world's major elephant oil supplies (like Ghawar) are declining in production at a rate of 6.7% per year. In the next couple years Mexico won't be exporting oil. Neither will England's North Sea oil.
Matthew Simmons has done a lot of research on this. You should try to read some of his stuff.
Financial Sense Energy Round Table's: http://www.financialsense.com/Experts/roundtable/2008/0202.html
Matthew Simmons has no evidence for his claims, he just keeps repeating them over and over in any loony documentary that will have him. Mathew Simmons is the Al Gore of the Peak Oil Myth. His claims have been debunked:
Crop Circles in the Desert: The Strange Controversy Over Saudi Oil Production (PDF) (Michael C. Lynch)
I've watched half a dozen of these nonsense "documentaries" on peak oil and they all ignore facts and just repeat the hysteria.
The problem is that government has been declaring that the world's oil supply will run out ever since the 1940s. It's constantly been used as an excuse for more government intervention. In either case, market signals (prices) would serve as a signal for conservation and investment in alternatives.
Thats wrong: Hubberts theory was laughed at when he published it in the 50s, until the US peaked in early 70s.
Prices are indeed hard to use indicators as how the oil situation is due to credit bubbles and crunches distorting the market. But if we look at production numbers we get a pretty good idea: OPEC is still increasing in production it seems(but cant be for long since their big discoveries were a couple of decades ago), while the rest of the world is declining. Oil discoveries have been decreasing since the 60s(they also had a peak), all the new fields are either low quality oil like tar sand or shale, or they are in hard to access places like deep ocean floors
Forgot to add: world crude oil production has been stagnant at 73-74 Mbarrels a day for 4 years now so there is a high likelyhood that we are in fact at the peak.
Forgot to add: world crude oil production has been stagnant at 73-74 Mbarrels a day for 4 years now so there is a high likelyhood that we are in fact at the peak.
That is primarily because people are being restricted from investing in new oil production and refinement capital. Could be that we are running out of oil, but once the price is high enough there will be enough of a demand for substitutes that people will invest in making those substitutes.
The EIA & IEA reports state that we need to invest $350 Billion per year for the next 20 years just to keep producing at the rate we are at now. We are clearly cutting back on capital expenditures in such areas. Also, there are no new elephant oil field discoveries like those found back in the 19th century. Most of the oil now is in little pockets, deep see drilling and oil sands. All these forms of oil require high price like $70/barrel to be profitable.
To all who replied - thanks for your thoughts. As i read the replies and thought further, I'm beginning to think that this is not an example of a tragedy of the commons. While there are problems with government interference and questions about whether or not the theory is even valid, let's assume for the moment that peak oil DOES exist and there is no government interference in the situation. You could then say that the market is a normal market which balances the need and expectation of buyers and sellers. Could the sellers have wrong information and are making dumb decisions by selling oil too cheap? Sure. Could the buyers be oblivious to the effect of diminishing oil supplies in the near future and instead should allocate money to oil with both fists? Sure.
But in both of these cases, the results are not an example of the "tragedy of the commons" (where folks take advantage because they don't bear the responsibility of their decisions) - but simply the uncertainty of the future (by 'assuming' peak oil was true, I was just wiping away all that uncertainty that exists and entrepreneurs try to exploit). I'm voting (for the moment) that my confusion was because of a poor argument.
As to whether peak oil exists or not - the engineer training in me says "well of course it does!" (everything breaks or runs out of gas eventually...) - but I don't think you can look to the price for affirmation or disproval. Thanks again to everyone who supplied reference as well - guess I've got some reading to do...
Doug:As to whether peak oil exists or not - the engineer training in me says "well of course it does!" (everything breaks or runs out of gas eventually...)
Quite true but I would like to reiterate that you must first know two
things - 1. What is the exact amount of fossil fuels on the planet and
2. How are fossil fuels created. Which leads me to...
The Monkey Wrench - What if fossil fuels were created different then we thought and what if we could create them cheaply:
Abiotic Theory:Fuel's Paradise (Wired)Gas and oil may exist in miles-deep wells (The Times, UK)Petroleum From Decay? Maybe Not, Study Says (The New York Times)
Thermal Depolymerization:Thermal Depolymerization (Video) (7min)Anything Into Oil at $80 a Barrel (Discover Magazine)
bearing01:We are clearly cutting back on capital expenditures in such areas. Also, there are no new elephant oil field discoveries like those found back in the 19th century. Most of the oil now is in little pockets, deep see drilling and oil sands. All these forms of oil require high price like $70/barrel to be profitable.
You just missed the point:
"In either case, market signals (prices) would serve as a signal for conservation and investment in alternatives."
"once the price is high enough there will be enough of a demand for
substitutes that people will invest in making those substitutes."
Oil Sands do not require $70 oil to be profitable:
Oil sands still viable at $60 a barrel: Suncor (Financial Post, Canada)Oil sands 'viable below $60 per barrel' (SRI Consulting)Shell Says Oil Sands Expansion Would Remain Viable With $30 Oil (Bloomberg)
"Suncor Energy Inc., which last week rolled out massive spending cuts
because of the credit crisis and slumping oil prices, said it will earn
C$28 for every barrel of oil it produces should crude trade at
Which means the oil sands need oil to be at about US$40/barrel or more to make a profit.

Item Details
- Width:
91 1/4 Inches
- Height:
112 Inches
- Depth:
32 3/4 Inches
- Period:
19th Century
- Origin:
An extremely rare and monumental Gothic Revival Rosewood "winged" armoire known as the Henry Clay Rosedown Plantation Armoire. This magnificent armoire was originally made by Crawford Riddell of Philadelphia for the White House (more specifically for the bedroom now known as the Lincoln Bedroom), and commissioned by the supporters of Henry Clay during his bid for the Presidency in 1844. Though he fully expected to win the highly contested race, Clay lost the election to Democratic candidate James K. Polk. Indeed, Clay's prospects for the top seat were so strong, that Riddell, having received what was likely the most important commission of the 19th century, had gathered the finest cabinetmakers in the Northeast to assist him in the manufacture of the set, including this armoire, to ensure it would be ready for Clay's seemingly imminent inauguration. After the votes were tallied, however, and Clay had lost his bid for the presidency, this prized bedroom suite was sold by Clay's supporters to Daniel Turnbull, the most affluent cotton planter in the South and reportedly one of the wealthiest men in America. Turnbull's renowned showpiece home, Rosedown Plantation, was certainly befitting a set of furniture originally intended for the White House. He purchased the set and in true Turnbull fashion, built a wing onto this mansion in St. Francisville, Louisiana, especially to house his glorious bedroom suite. The new wing was so monumental, Turnbull added another wing to the opposite side of the house in order to preserve its classic symmetry! The entire set, including this glorious armoire, was moved into Turnbull's specially built bedroom in 1845 where it remained until 2000 when the State of Louisiana purchased the Rosedown Plantation. We were fortunate and delighted to acquire this magnificent armoire shortly after the purchase, and, it was not long before this treasure was obtained by one of our clients who also found the armoire irresistable. By a twist of fate, we have had the rare privilege to re-acquire this wonderful piece of American history and we are honored to offer it once more. Circa 1844 The Rosedown Plantation was sold in 2000 to the State of Louisiana for approximately $5.5 million. The matching bed to this armoire was acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art for $450,000. The small chest of drawers is now on display at the Minneapolis Museum of Fine Arts. The cheval mirror was sold at auction and the two small washstands were kept by the former owner of Rosedown Plantation. Crafted of absolutely the finest Brazilian rosewood (a species that is now extinct), the armoire is flanked by two gothic columns that open on the sides to hold clothes, hence the reference to a "winged" wardrobe. The center doors open to reveal more storage and an interior chest of drawers. Each section retains its original blue paint on the interior. Even the drawers are beautifully finished in Brazilian rosewood on the interior. The armoire is in overall mint condition. In terms of quality, rarity, provenance, and historical significance, it is arguably the finest and most important armoire to come on the market in many, many years.

25 years ago – October 13, 1988
Some local residents did not receive their city utility bills early this month. They apparently were lost in the mail.
City staffers and members of the Patterson Township Historical Society had some anxious moments late last week. A contractor had torn the roofing material off the Center Building that serves as Patterson's museum, and then had to wait an additional day for it to be decided just how the new material would be installed. The structure is city-owned.
The Patterson Recreation Commission is pressing the City Council to move ahead with plans for a new community sports park.
Two-story homes in the new Shire Park subdivision on Patterson southwest side will make up 75 percent of the new units, the developer has announced.
Boy Scout Tim Hulen, son of David and Vicki Hulen of Patterson, received his Eagle badge in a ceremony held last Saturday evening. He is a sophomore at Patterson High.
50 years ago – October 17, 1963
A new organization, Friends of the Library, is currently being formed, according to local librarian Kathleen Spooner. Work, including the coating of the basement walls to prevent flooding that has plagued the structure, is presently underway.
Ernie Moeller is the new scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 81. He is being assisted by Leo Halseth.
Local voters will go to the polls next Tuesday to decide whether the high school district and the area's three elementary districts – Patterson, Grayson and Rising Sun – should combine into one. The change would drop the number of school boards from four to one, with one district superintendent.
75 years ago – October 14, 1938
Wong Sing has assumed management of the restaurant in the Watson & Mack establishment, closing the Klean Kafe, which he has operated for many years.
The Patterson chapter of the Order of Eastern Star observed its 15th anniversary this week
Peter Grischott and John Relvas are the official delegates to the state FFA convention in Fresno.
100 years ago – October 18, 1913
Talk is back about a roadway from San Jose over Mt. Hamilton to Stanislaus County. Plans for road improvements in Santa Clara County up to the Lick Observatory are moving along.
A Patterson Farmers Institute will be held here in December, organized by the University of California at Berkeley.
One of the first social activities at the new Patterson High School will be a Halloween masquerade party, currently being planned by teachers and students.
Construction work has started on a new rural elementary school to serve youngsters residing in the north area of the Colony. Contractor W.C. Spaulding has sublet the work to Burton Morgan and D.C. Stevens. Work is expected to take about six weeks, at which time a site may be deeded for a second school in the south Colony.
Patterson's branch library has the largest circulation of books in the country, topping the Oakdale and Newman branches.

That rug is awesome! It looks like it would feel so good on the tootsies!
Love the chair with the floral print upholstery. I may have to stop by there tomorrow.
Target, you need to get your act together and start opening stores in Canada. Seriously.
i recently discovered that Target is shipping all that John Derian melamine that sold out so quickly (and popped up on ebay) last year, direct from the website.
when i went back to order last weekend it was all on clearance: http://www.target.com/gp/search/188-2241283-7474142?ie=UTF8&x=0&y=0&field-keywords=derian&url=index%3Dtarget
I so want John Derian's "Bird Design" Tray but am based in the UK and can't find a way to buy as Target doesn't ship to here. I still haven't worked out which store here is the UK version of Target. Ugggh!
Mel265, if you want the tray so bad...ask someone here in the states to order it & then ship it to you and pay them via paypal or something. It could work!!
i wish i'd known, i'd have ordered you a tray with mine. us postal has a great rate for int'l priority mail. fast and cheap.
Mel265, hit me at belledameat35 at gmail dot com.
I was so excited about this. No offense, but just got back from the Bazaar and it was so not worth the time or trip! Nothing like the NYC bodegas with new products and ideas -- filled with same stuff from the store and some of it's even cheaper in the store.
Search Our Stalls for Stellar Steals.
Cute. lol!
Thanks a ton, Lady J! I just ordered a bunch, what lovely trays!

Jennifer---Are you happy with your refrigerator? Is it a Bloomberg? I'd like to get a 24" for my renovation but have seen mixed reviews on all of them. Any feedback and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I love these kitchens, but I don't think some are truly small! I'd love to have some of the larger ones!
I agree - also love these kitchens. However, *these* are considered "small"?! Heck, mine is half the size of these! If I had a kitchen as big as one of these, I'd feel it was 'luxurious'!

Cadel Evans and the BMC Racing Team had hoped to enjoy a rest bit of sorts Friday at the Tour de France. But a fast start and two hard climbs in the first 80 kilometers of the 226 km race changed all that, the race's defending champion said.
'Sort Of A Strange Tour'
"Sometimes a long day means the group races a little bit easier but that wasn't the case today," Evans said. "It's been sort of a strange Tour with so many big climbs, and quite hard climbs, so far from the finish. Like Sky, when they're in the mode of defense, has designed a team for that. It really does put a lot of people on the limit from the start." One day after slipping two spots to fourth in the overall standings, Evans rode in the shadow of race leader Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling) before sprinting to ninth. David Millar (Garmin-Sharp) took the stage win in a two-up sprint against Jean-Christophe Peraud (Ag2r La Mondiale) after the pair rode in a five-man breakaway for more than 120 km. The overall standings remain unchanged in the top 10, with Evans trailing Wiggins by 3:19. Evans said he doesn't regret attacking so far from the finish on Thursday's stage. "Someone had to try and do something and no one else was going to do it," he said. "So it was sort of left to me. Being fourth on general classification is not a position I am happy with."
Van Garderen Still Best Young Rider
Teammate Tejay van Garderen kept his lead in the best young rider classification and remained seventh overall, 6:57 behind, after finishing 21st on the stage. Van Garderen agreed with Evans that the stage was a bit unusual. "The peloton was in pieces for the first 100 km," he said. "After that, we kind of settled in and were just lazy out there. We were just cruising in to the finish because I think nobody really had the legs to go." Van Garderen said the difficulty of Saturday's 210.5 km stage – which features only one categorized climb – could be dictated by the weather. "It depends on what the winds are doing," he said. "We finish on the coast so it could be echelons, which we have to be careful for. But we have a good team for that and they'll do a good job of protecting us."

Please select a language you
want to receive our newsletter in:
Prior to your departure, consult with your doctor, particularly if you have ongoing health concerns, and to determine if you need any immunizations. Generally, travellers visiting Europe do not need any vaccinations.
Check your health insurance policy to be sure you are covered while travelling abroad, and bring a copy of your health coverage ID card with you. You may also want to consider purchasing travel insurance in case illness prevents you from completing your trip.
If you are coming from outside Europe, because you will be consuming foods and beverages to which your body may not be accustomed to, you may want to take a few simple precautions. Tap water in Europe is generally safe to drink. However, if you are travelling far from home, your body may not be accustomed to the local bacteria, so you might want to drink bottled water. Enjoy the local cuisine, but eat lightly until your body adapts to the different ingredients and methods of preparation.
Jet lag, for those who come from outside Europe, causes more controversy than any other feature about travelling, and theories abound. Among the most common advice is to sleep as much as you can on the plane, and be sure to move around and stretch when you are awake to stimulate your circulation.
Switch your watch to the local time as soon as you board the plane. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages while in flight. Upon arrival in a new time zone, adhere as much as possible to local time: take a short nap, have a light meal at the appropriate local hour and perhaps a brief stroll afterward. Eat lightly for two or three days, keep the first day's itinerary relaxed, and allow about 24 hours to adjust to the time change. On day two, you'll be raring to go!
Carry prescription medicine in its original packaging in your carry-on luggage as well as a copy of your prescription in case you need to replenish your supply while travelling.
It is useful to carry basic remedies for minor travel irritations, including headaches, blisters and motion sickness. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent as well or purchase them in Europe.
Visitors will find pharmacies are a common site in any European town or city and are normally able to dispense all commonly prescribed drugs on-the-spot in addition to over the counter medicines for everyday illnesses such as cold and flu, aches, pains and headaches.
If you are planning on visiting Europe and have an illness which may require attention whilst you're away, the best advice is to bring enough medication for the length of your stay. If you do need to order medication whilst travelling, you may require require a prescription issued by a doctor in the country you are visiting.
If you are feeling unwell whilst travelling, pharmacies are often a good place to visit first, as the pharmacists will more often than not be happy to offer medical advice. Pharmacies are usually indicated by an illuminated green cross, although this various between countries. It may also be useful to know that the word for 'pharmacy' has only a few variations between languages such as 'Chemist' 'Pharmacie', 'Pharmacia', 'Apotheek'. If a pharmacy is closed, it usually lists the address of the nearest open pharmacy.
Any electrical device you wish to bring on your trip can be used with the aid of an electrical travel kit.
On-the-spot emergencies are handled just as they would be at home.
Consider safeguarding your trip so that you can minimize the financial impact.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (August 19, 2010)—Blind Luck, who capped her 2-year-old season with an easy win in the Hollywood Starlet last December, will try to do Saturday at Saratoga something no other Starlet heroine has ever done.
The daughter of Pollard's Vision, who has four graded stakes victories in 2010, will look for a win in the $500,000 Betfair/TVG Alabama, a Grade I at 1 ¼ miles.
One of three fillies to win both the Starlet and the Kentucky Oaks – joining Goodbye Halo and Sardula – Blind Luck will have five opponents in the Alabama, which is being run for the 130th time.
The most notable rival for Blind Luck, who is owned by Peter Abruzzo, John Carver, Mark DeDomenico and trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, is Devil May Care.
Trained by Todd Pletcher for Glencrest Farm, Devil May Care has won back-to-back Grade I's. The Malibu Moon filly took the Mother Goose on June 26 at Belmont Park, then repeated in the Coaching Club American Oaks. The latter victory was her second in as many starts at Saratoga.
A winner of five of eight with earnings of $699,000, Devil May Care will be ridden by John Velazquez.
Blind Luck, who won the Delaware Oaks by a nose over a sloppy track on July 10 at Delaware Park, will be ridden by Joel Rosario. She has eight wins in 12 tries and has banked $1,578,712.
From the inside out, the field for the Alabama: Acting Happy, Jose Lezcano rides, 121 pounds; Devil May Care, John Velazquez, 121; Tizahit, Edgar Prado, 121; Blind Luck, Joel Rosario, 121; Connie and Michael, Rajiv Maragh, 121 and Havre de Grace, Jeremy Rose, 121.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Political newcomer Matt Bevin previously considered running for Congress against U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth prior to his current contemplation of challenging Sen. Mitch McConnell in the 2014 Republican primary, GOP insiders disclosed to WHAS11.
After the Louisville businessman's name surfaced on Monday as a potential candidate, Bevin has stressed to WHAS11 that he is "simply listening" to those interested in him running. Bevin said he has met with fellow Republicans, tea party members and independent voters.
"Every single one of them has reasons for feeling frustrated with their current representation in Washington," Bevin told WHAS11.
"He's asked us what kind of problems we have with McConnell, what do we like about McConnell," said Sarah Durand, the Louisville Tea Party President, "What are the challenges involved in mounting a primary challenge against McConnell? Do we think it's a good idea? Do we think it's worth the time and effort?"
Several significant tea party figures in Kentucky have expressed frustration with Bevin's leap into the McConnell conversation.
"I have no knowledge of him participating in any Tea Party events in Kentucky," John T. Kemper, the spokesman for the United Kentucky Tea Party, told The Hill, "We're leery of outside folks coming in saying they're Tea Party when they don't have a Tea Party background."
"I hope nobody's feelings are hurt if a candidate hasn't had a chance to talk to everybody yet," Durand said when asked about Kemper's concerns.
"Several people are interested in running," Durand added. "A lot of people don't want their names out there yet."
Kentucky tea party activists are also questioning whether a true tea partier would accept $100,000 in government grants. Bevin used the money to help rebuild his family's Connecticut bell factory, Bevin Brothers Manufacturing, after a factory fire.
"Mr. Bevin's $100K in state grants sounds like a bailout to me," reads a facebook post by Alan Brown Jr., president of the Nelson County Tea Party. "Isn't opposition to bailouts what brought so many in the Tea Parties together in the first place? And $12K to (the Republican Party of Kentucky)....yeah, I'm not getting the Tea Party vibe."
Bevin, however, stressed fiscal conservatism in an e-mail from Ethiopia, where he is working on security at orphanages and improving veterinary science. He described the concerns of Kentuckians with whom he has discussed his potential candidacy.
"Some are angry about the decades of spending like a drunken sailor at future tax payers expense. Others wonder exactly how long is long enough for the same person to be representing them," Bevin wrote. "Still others think that the 'good ole boy' network in Washington is more the problem than the solution."
"The list goes on," Bevin continued. "I am simply listening."
Bevin suggested that WHAS11 view a 2009 interview on Metro TV for an idea of what makes him tick.
"I always assume I'm going to win," Bevin said in the interview. "I always assume I'm going to succeed."
Bevin is a partner in a Louisville hedge fund and a father of nine.
"I would hope that people would see me as a person of integrity, as someone who embodies Christian values, as a man of principle. Somebody to be trusted," Bevin said in the 2009 interview.
A primary challenge would have to be mounted without the support of Kentucky tea party favorite, Sen. Rand Paul (R), who is endorsing McConnell.
"I haven't had any discussions with (Bevin) or others about it," Paul said on Wednesday, "other than to say that I have heard the same rumors."
Paul was asked why McConnell appears to lack support among tea party members.
"You know, I don't know if I have an answer, really," Paul responded.
On Thursday, McConnell and Paul were two of only seven U.S. Senators to receive a 100% rating defending liberty from the American Conservative Union.
"Right now, (McConnell is) doing a great job," Durand said. If he had voted in the last thirty years how he has voted in the
last thirty days, everybody would be very happy with him."
Bevin and tea partiers have a decision to make -- do they challenge McConnell in a primary if it only results in weakening the senator in the general election?
"I'm not really sure yet if its a good idea to challenge McConnell because you don't want to end up with a Democrat." Durand said.


text: Items 1 to 12 of 92 total 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ... 8 Next View: 12 / 24 / 48 This system is Awesome By Richard on 8/25/2014 Richard would recommend this product to a friend This system is awesome. It was up and running in no time. One fitting initially leaked, but simply pushing in the hose to make sure it was fully seated solved the problem. Monitor read 0 TDS coming out of the system right away. AWSOME By John on 8/13/2014 John would recommend this product to a friend Just removed a unit that the wife and i were renting with this unit. If i would of know about this unit before i started my salt water adventure i would of gotten this unit two years ago. I also have the drinking water hook up. I just got in the auto flush system i don't need a booster pump since i have an average of 65 to 75 psi of water pressure after the filterers. and at the line into the hose about 80 psi. This is the best System on the market in my opinion. I will more then likely up grade to the 150 when i go from a 38 gallon to my dream 250 gallon. Freakin Awesome By T.J. on 8/12/2014 T.J. would recommend this product to a friend Didn't think I would get excited about a RO/DI unit....I really like it though! It's very well made. All the added perks of the deluxe are really nice. Well done BRS!!! Impressively convenient and easy to use. By anizato on 7/21/2014 anizato would recommend this product to a friend This filter is incredible. It takes about 12 minutes to fill a gallon or so @ 50ish psi. My water is pristine and tastes better than any bottled product out there. My reef is in great shape thanks to the 0 TDS water. It is great to just have vast amounts of RODI water at home without having to go anywhere for it or carry it around more than a few feet. Plus, the "waste" water from the black line is great for watering the grass, plants, washing the car and mopping, rinsing dishes, etc. Use it almost everyday and still get 8TDS coming into the DI-Resin and 0TDS coming out. PERFECT H20. It also has the convenience of being portable. If for some reason you can't have this unit permanently installed you could easily store it (keep the water inside, don't drain it). Coming with several ways to adapt it to your specific plumbing situation it is impressively convenient and easy to use. Great Addition! By Maxwell on 5/19/2014 Maxwell would recommend this product to a friend This product is very easy to set up and use. I was very happy to find the filter monitor pre programed for each stage. Makes me wish I ordered this sooner. Excellent By MechEngineer on 5/19/2014 MechEngineer would recommend this product to a friend A must have for saltwater aquariums; your water company can switch over to Chloramines anytime so this protects you by filtering that and Chlorine. It took my water company a year to send a letter that Chloramines will kill your fish if you don't treat it. It came with a broken filtration monitor but BRS replaced it immediately. I've run thousands of gallons thru it and still working great. Excellent By Luthor167 on 5/16/2014 Luthor167 would recommend this product to a friend I'm very happy with my ro/di system. I have it setup to both provide great purity water for my tank and also water for the family. My next purchase will likely be the booster pump as my water pressure here is only 40 psi where I have it connected (Laundry room) and higher pressures not only increase production rate, they lower the amount of waste water created when the RO is in use. I'm building my mixing station in the laundry room tomorrow! Buy it! By Curtis on 4/21/2014 Curtis would recommend this product to a friend I have just started into the Saltwater hobby and I just set up my RO/DI system. very easy and works very well. Buy it!!! By brandon on 4/17/2014 brandon would recommend this product to a friend Arrived in one piece and works great. Was suprised by how well it really is built...wish id got it last year so id saved money. Great By Sam on 4/16/2014 Sam would recommend this product to a friend Love this R/O machine BRS 6 Stage Chloramines DELUXE RO/DI System - 75GPD By james on 3/26/2014 james would recommend this product to a friend This is a must have if you are going to keep a salt water tank. Even more so if you plan to keep a reef tank. When I look at the cost of a 2 or 3 or even a 4 stage RO/DI system andcompare to this 6 stage one IMHO it is a no brainer. I always get the best product I can afford. This system is easy to use install. It includes everything you need. Providing your tank with the best water is the same as providing yourself with the best food. If nothing you should always have a good RO/DI unit. Great product, packing for shipment needs to be better By Greg Dorp on 3/13/2014 Greg Dorp would recommend this product to a friend I replaced a old RO system with this RO/DI system. The installation was very easy with the Mur-Lok fittings. I like the unit because it has a two meters one for the Filters and a TDS meter. The only problem I had was the unit came damaged, the water inlet and filter meter volume sensor was broken. Customer service was great an shipped out replacements asap. Then I found the connection between the first and second filter was also cracked when I finally was able to turn water back on. PS look it over closely before taking down your old system for damage.

'Sleepy Hollow' filming to close streets
Residents and visitors to Salisbury should watch for evening street closures starting next week as production crews take over several blocks to film the TV pilot "Sleepy Hollow."
Salisbury has been selected as the backdrop for the Fox production, which a studio press release calls "a modern day supernatural thriller based on the legend of Sleepy Hollow, following Ichabod Crane as her partners with Sleepy Hollow's local female sheriff to solve the mysteries of a town ravaged by the battle between good and evil."
In this retelling of the Washington Irving short story, Crane wakes up in a modern-day Sleepy Hollow 200 years after slaying a soldier on the battlefield. The soldier — the headless horseman of the original tale — also returns from the dead, seeking revenge.
The show will be set in the 1800s and modern times, with law enforcement agent Crane and the villainous horseman traveling through time to do battle between good and evil.
If the pilot spawns a TV series, several locations in Salisbury could become permanent backdrops, city spokeswoman Elaney Hasselmann said earlier this week.
Crews will film between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. through Wednesday at St. Luke's Episcopal Church on West Council Street, near the Confederate Monument at the intersection of West Innes and North Church streets and at nearby Bell Tower Park.
Beginning Monday, filming will take place nights between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., though crews will be at the sites during the day to set up equipment and position power, lighting and set dressing. The shooting will include mostly exterior scenes on West Council Street between North Main and North Church streets, driving sequences on West Innes at North Church and at a set in Bell Tower Park.
Filming will require more street closures in Salisbury at one time than ever before, said Wendy Brindle, city traffic engineer.
"The good thing is, it will be done at a time where there is not a lot conflicting," Brindle said.
Monday through Friday, streets will close at 6 p.m. and reopen at 7 a.m. the next day.
Closures include:
• Main and Church streets will be closed for three blocks between Fisher and Liberty streets.
Drivers southbound on Main will take a detour at Kerr Street to Fulton Street.
Drivers headed north on Main will take a detour at Monroe Street and go to Long Street and then to Kerr Street. The city does not want to send heavy trucks over the Shober Bridge on Ellis Street, Brindle said.
• Innes Street will be closed for four blocks between Fulton and Lee streets.
Drivers headed east on Innes will take a detour at Fulton and go to Monroe Street and then Long Street.
Westbound traffic on Inne will detour at Long and go to Kerr and then Fulton.
• On Thursday and Friday, one additional block of West Innes will be closed, reaching to South Ellis Street.
The studio has been working with the city and N.C. Department of Transportation to coordinate street closure requests.
The studio plans to hire off-duty police officers to help with traffic control. Traffic will be stopped for periods up to five minutes while scenes are shot, the press release said. Emergency vehicles will be able to pass through when necessary.
Crew members will make sure sidewalks are kept open and patrons can get to businesses, the press release said.
Filming will include "controlled pyrotechnic devices and special effects" cleared through the Salisbury fire and police departments, including small explosives, gunfire, atmospheric smoke and stunt activity, the press release said. The special effects last for several minutes, but residents won't hear gunfire continuously throughout the evening.
While most lighting will be provided by small lights on tripod stands, the production will also have several large pieces of lighting positioned around downtown and used during filming. The equipment includes a truck with lights similar to baseball stadium lighting and Condor boom or scissor lifts with lights attached. The lighting will produce a glow around shooting locations, the press release said.
The lights will be powered by generators. Location managers said they will "do our best to minimize any sound disturbances from the generators as well as prevent our lights from shining directly into residences."
