Get Up There! and Other News

- Most people see the Pantheon and think, What a neat-looking old thing. Others look at it and can only wonder how and when they'll get to the top. "Although it may come as no surprise that the Pantheon's roof is off-limits in our highly litigious times," Matt Donovan writes, "groups of scholars and artists from the American Academy in Rome climbed the dome on a regular basis as recently as the 1970s. One visitor described the short walk as a straining and vertiginous affair, 'a bit like rock climbing up a slope on a hike in the Appalachians.' He also told me that once those exterior stairs end, a climber feels utterly precarious. Differences in temperature between the building's cool interior and the sun-warmed roof created downdrafts that could literally suck someone through the opening. In what might be read as a blurring of prudence, humility, and reverence, visitors needed to creep toward the roof's opening on their stomachs in order to peer through its oculus—a full twenty-seven feet across, and known as the 'eye of god'—down into the space below." (There are pictures.)
- The appeal of Jane Austen's novels to young women should be no mystery, Mikita Brottman writes, because Austen's books are full of hidden pain, just like teens: "The world of Jane Austen's heroines—that 'two inches of ivory'—is so small that everything matters almost too much, which is precisely what the world can feel like to an eighteen-year-old girl … The tiniest breach in teenage etiquette could have all kinds of terrible repercussions, but the pain it caused couldn't be expressed. Responses had to be regulated at all times. At eighteen, most girls live in a world of secret anguish. This is why young women such as my students can identify with Austen's heroines—because they live, for the most part, in a similarly limited world … My students loved talking about the grand country houses, the balls with half-hour-long dances, the old-fashioned courtship rituals, the families, the dresses, the weddings. I tried to tell them Jane Austen was all about pain, but, unsurprisingly, they refused to listen. 'I myself prefer a novel that gives me an escape from the sometimes crude realities of this world,' wrote one girl. Another claimed: 'Reading Jane Austen's work simply makes me happy.' "
- Today in writers who should be more widely read: Albert Murray's name was "never household familiar," Thomas Chatterton Williams writes, but "he was one of the truly original minds of twentieth-century American letters. Murray, who died in 2013 at the age of ninety-seven, was an accomplished novelist, a kind of modern-day oral philosopher, a founder of Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the writer of a sprawling, idiosyncratic, and consistently astonishing body of literary criticism, first-rate music exposition, and cunning autobiography. In our current moment of identity politics and multicultural balkanization, the publication of any new Murray text would serve as a powerful reminder that his complex analysis of art and life remain as timely as ever—probably more so … Murray's name still functions as a sort of password, announcing to like-minded souls a particular willingness to look further and stay longer, to dig a little deeper through the crates in pursuit of hidden treasures. That the broader culture hasn't held on to Murray reveals far more about it than him."
- Audrey Munson was, in the Gilded Age, the preferred nude model of the American Beaux Arts movement. As Allison Meier writes, Munson appeared "in countless early twentieth-century statues, from the seated figures that once guarded the Manhattan Bridge and are now installed outside the Brooklyn Museum, to the gilded lady on the top of the Manhattan Municipal Building, to a duo of marble sculptures by Daniel Chester French in the atrium of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her neoclassical beauty, with her strong silhouette and raised brow, along with feminine curves, made her a favorite among the bohemian artist community of Greenwich Village's MacDougal Alley, where she went door-to-door looking for work after being discovered on the streets by a photographer." She became a household name—a new biography, James Bone's The Curse of Beauty, argues that modernism was her undoing. "Bone describes Munson's visit to the studio of avant-garde French-Cuban painter Francis Picabia, one of New York's first modernist transplants from Europe, who asked Munson to walk around rather than hold a static pose. Munson derided the resulting painting as 'an incongruous collection of color splotches.' "
- I think it's nice that you're reading this post on a glowing screen. I'm happy you're here. But if you're a big picture kind of person, you should probably stop and print this out before you keep going, environmental repercussions be damned. A new study "offers evidence we process texts differently if we are reading them on paper, as opposed to an electronic device. It finds we remember concrete details better if we've read a work on a laptop or tablet. We grasp the larger inferences of a story more thoroughly, however, if we've read it in print … Seventy-seven participants filled out a survey designed to indicate whether they were thinking in small-bore or big-picture terms. They were given the category 'Joining the Army,' for example, and then asked which of the following phrases 'best describes the behavior for you': 'signing up' (concrete detail), or 'Helping the nation's defense' (big-picture). Forty participants filled out the survey on a digital screen, while the other thirty-six did so using pencil and paper … Those who used the classic paper-and-pencil method 'exhibited a significantly higher level of preference' for the more abstract of the two choices, compared to their counterparts who used a touch screen."
Tumefied and Syphilitic, and Other News
November 16, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Houellebecq's Submission features many an excursus on Joris-Karl Huysmans, the nineteenth-century French writer of whom Houllebecq himself has said, "I think he could've been a real friend to me." What was Huysmans's MO? His novel À rebours, which tells of "a nature-hating aesthete named Jean des Esseintes," has an approach to desire and spiritual malady that feels strikingly on point, even in 2015: "Subtitled 'A Novel Without a Plot,' the narrative concerns des Esseintes's attempts to furnish and decorate a country home where he will be able to live without ever again having to deal with the outside world … He gets turned on by locomotive engines: their steaming, sweating loins girdled in glittering copper corsets; their disheveled manes of black smoke; their horns' muffled, impassioned cries … Huysmans's prose isn't just purple: it's ultraviolet. Everything in À Rebours is tumefied and syphilitic, damasked with ennui, liver-spotted with arcane longings."
- In which Gay Talese slips on a pair of virtual-reality goggles, and balks: "But this doesn't interest me in the least! … You know why? You know why? It's the sort of stuff you see in a documentary, but there's no insight into the situation, into the characters … It's just a bunch of scenes … Television is driven by imagery … There will be a lead on a slow night, the networks will lead with a forest fire in Topanga California—great visual scenes—or a bombing of Baghdad. Anything that shows you color, smoke, fire, bullets, dodging gets on because it's visual, but you don't get anything … There has to be face to face confrontation between the writer and the subject, and the writer has to be able to cultivate something from the subject to get something approximate to the truth of the subject."
- What does a debate about the abridgment of Moby-Dick tell us about reading on the Internet? Oh, nothing terribly encouraging: "Countless readers have run aground on Melville's mountain of details on the art of whaling, or have been left behind as he plunges, like his Catskill eagle, into philosophical realms, but it is precisely in these passages where his real appeal resides … It is rather quaint to locate the manifestation of our collective ruin in a British publisher of abridgments, which have been around nearly as long as novels themselves … Thanks to the oceanic expanses of the web, there is no need to condense or abridge anything anymore, at least not for want of space … This would appear to be a problem. And it is one that is likely to get worse."
- Today in techno prophesy: a bunch of smart interdisciplinary types got together and decreed that by the year 2100, "libraries will be both highly distributed and deeply connected, sharing a single collection as they work to meet the emerging demands of their individual communities." As for the physical books in the libraries, they'll probably disappear, but only a fuddy-duddy would mourn their loss. "Library isn't etymologically related to books at all, deriving instead from a Latin word for the smooth inner bark of a tree. It was, in this sense, a thing on which one might write rather than a storehouse of what had already been written. Whatever they become … libraries will retain that original implication, always 'spaces for creation or curiosity,' even if they leave the books behind."
- Meanwhile, in a concrete bunker seventeen feet underground, the New York Public Library is preparing to store vast, high-density reserves of print: "a new retrieval system [will] ferry the volumes and other materials from their eighty-four miles of subterranean shelving, loaded into little motorized carts … Books will be stacked by height and tracked by bar code rather than by a subject-based system, making for some odd bookfellows … The climate-controlled repository encompasses more than 110,000 square feet … It stretches from beneath the back wall of the main building, which fronts Fifth Avenue, a full block west to Sixth Avenue, and from 42nd Street to 40th Street."
The Play's the Thing
August 26, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
Whenever you hear about the death of another specialty bookstore—RIP Mystery Bookstore! RIP Cookbook Store!—walk over to that unlikeliest bastion of hope, West 40th Street, and breathe a sigh of relief: the Drama Book Shop abides. And it's not just that the store is a treasure trove of plays and scripts and monologues and a beloved nurturer of theatrical talent, with a Tony Award to prove it. The Drama Book Shop is a testament to one of the few areas where print still reigns supreme.
Newspapers might be threatened by e-readers, technology may have supplanted books, and recipes can be found online in abundance. But scripts? Scripts are necessary. Scripts are tangible. They bow before no millennial's avowedly shortened attention span. You can highlight on a Kindle, maybe—but can you annotate? Can you plunk it down at a table reading? (The answer is yes, obviously, but it would be harder, significantly harder, and that's not nothing.) Read More »
The Service Industry's Snobbiest Sector, and Other News
February 24, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Your stereotypical French waiter is condescending, arrogant, and rigid with hauteur—a veritable seven-course meal of Gallic clichés. But that radiant superiority is earned: French waiters are still more talented than most everyone else in the game. No one has perfected the art as they have. Sartre wrote of their "lively and exaggerated manner, a little too precise, a little too fast … trying to mimic the rigor of a robot while carrying his tray with the temerity of a tightrope walker."
- It's time to bury Pablo Neruda again, a Chilean judge has ruled. Forensic scientists exhumed Neruda's remains nearly two years ago to investigate a claim by his former driver, who'd said the poet "had been murdered by an injection to his stomach by political enemies."
- On Oscar Wilde's long journey from tasteless sodomite to canonized icon: "In the English classrooms of my youth, Wilde was taught as a pillar of classical learning and modern suavity, not some licentious bogeyman. Wilde, now, is tame; safe. We canonize authors to pretend we understand them; we forgive authors who ought rather to forgive us."
- Charles Simic knows how to beat writer's block: just stay in bed. "When you write in bed, you don't feel like you're doing something serious. I've been traveling, visiting European institutions, and they give you a gorgeous space to work, with perhaps a lake and a beautiful desk. I could never write there; I feel intimidated by the whole thing. When you're in bed, you feel very casual about it. It's just doodling."
- Industry analysts, publishers, and grown-ups are flummoxed by news that hip, digitally native young persons apparently prefer reading printed books to reading electronic ones. "These are people who aren't supposed to remember what it's like to even smell books," said one wide-eyed, confused adult. "It's quite astounding."

Lessons from Rare Book School.
Four stories underneath the stately Georgian campus of the University of Virginia, I was with a group of rare-book experts scrutinizing a five-hundred-year-old Italian woodcut of two chubby infants. They framed a capital letter L. One, with a look of insouciant concentration, was thrusting his butt over the downslope of the L to defecate on it.
"The woodcut accompanies Andreas Vesalius's discourse on the muscles of excretion," Roger Gaskell, a rare-book dealer based in Cambridgeshire, told the group. It turns out that Vesalius, the Renaissance physician remembered today as the father of modern anatomy, had an intensely strained relationship with his publishers. "This initial letter differs from the others in the book—despite the fact that the printing house had a perfectly good L already cut," Gaskell said. "So I rather suspect this shitting putti was a message to his publisher."
Over a coffee break, the members of Gaskell's seminar mingled with three others led by such luminaries as Mark Dimunation, the chief of the rare-book division at the Library of Congress. They were gathered in a warren of windowless basement rooms for an annual rite of passage in the world of antiquarian texts: Rare Book School. Read More »
Smoke This Book, and Other News
September 8, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- In praise of the footnote1: "Many readers, and perhaps some publishers, seem to view endnotes, indexes, and the like as gratuitous dressing—the literary equivalent of purple kale leaves at the edges of the crudités platter. You put them there to round out and dignify the main text, but they're too raw to digest, and often stiff … Still, the back matter is not simply a garnish. Indexes open a text up. Notes are often integral to meaning, and, occasionally, they're beautiful, too."
- One way of arguing for the necessity of print: "Rather than stand on a street corner yelling, 'Literature is not commodity!' I decided to inflict a series of physical experiments on my published work, to take several copies of the new book, go at them with my hands, and see what might result. I stripped the book of its cover, bought a pouch of tobacco, tore the pages, rolled the words."
- Among the many treasures of the Bodleian Libraries: "A bivalve locket with locks of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's and Percy Bysshe Shelley's hair. 'Blessed are the eyes that saw him alive,' an inscription reads in Latin."
- "Metaphor is actually a fundamental constituent of language … In the seemingly literal statement 'He's out of sight,' the visual field is metaphorized as a container that holds things … Ordinary language is saturated with metaphors. Our eyes point to where we're going, so we tend to speak of future time as being 'ahead' of us. When things increase, they tend to go up relative to us, so we tend to speak of stocks 'rising' instead of getting more expensive."
- Really, though, if humanity discovered evidence of extraterrestrial life, could we be expected to behave ourselves? "There might be happiness and celebration to mark the end of isolation, or the news might be met with a shrug. But human nature suggests it's more probable that this discovery triggers a chain of events that lead to utter disaster. Suddenly your safe haven is threatened by an unknown 'them.' Your time-tested principles of governance and social order are put under pressure. Gossip, rumor, and conjecture will gnaw away at your stable home."

A Gofundme campaign will take a New Castle woman with multiple sclerosis part of the way to buy a van capable of transporting a wheelchair, improving her quality of life, a family member says.
Jeanie Downey Miskell, a 1991 Henry County High School graduate, was diagnosed with the disease that affects the central nervous system and can cause a loss of mobility in 1996 at 23 years old, daughter Stephanie Nutter said. Miskell's husband of 26 years, Delbert, is her primary caregiver, and they also get assistance from their 17-year-old son, Tanner.

Some of Kentucky's most successful academic programs take place, oddly enough, when the school year is over.
Several of these got their start in the 1980s, and they have since given thousands of our brightest middle and high school students a chance to come together in a college setting and learn in ways that often extend beyond the traditional classroom.
The Governor's Scholars Program (GSP) is perhaps the most well-known of these. It began in 1983 and now serves more than 1,100 students each summer over several campuses across the commonwealth.
When I attended college at the University of Cincinnati following the path of least resistance to earn my English degree with a minor in journalism, my fourth-floor walkup studio apartment stood just across from the campus in the crowded neighborhood at the corner of Clifton and McMillan streets. It featured a healthy business district that catered to students and fraternity members.

100 *'s for you! I made this for Sunday meal that we shared with friends. It was quickly devoured and inhaled, not a crumb left! hehehe-Thanks for making me look like a STAR! PS. Wish my meringue would look as gorgeous as this picture my fault NOT the recipe! I am just meringue challenged! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!
I couldn't tell you the last time I made a Coconut Cream Pie. Made this as per the recipe except added about 1 1/2 cups coconut. I used Flaky Pie Crust Flaky Pie Crust for the crust and my Mile High Meringue Mile High Meringue instead of the whipped cream. Adding the meringue is a hold over from childhood. This was definately a hit with my family.
A wonderful pie with a very creamy texture. We enjoyed this very much at Thanksgiving. I added an extra 1/4 cup of coconut to use up what I had on hand. The toasted coconut added a nice touch of color to the pie. Thanks for a great recipe.

LONDON, August 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
After a week of fierce competition, incredible craftsmanship, unrivalled creativity and exceptional cocktails, Charles Joly from The Aviary in Chicago, USA, beat 47 of the best mixologists from around the globe to be crowned the DIAGEO RESERVE WORLD CLASS™ Bartender of the Year 2014.

Charles mesmerised the judges from the very first cocktail but it was his unique and show-stopping signature serve that will help cement his name in cocktail history. His signature cocktail Above the Clouds, crafted for the final Punch and Glass challenge, blew the judges away. Throughout the week Charles consistently proved his winning credentials to the esteemed panel of judges that included legends and luminaries of the cocktail scene such as Dale DeGroff, Salvatore Calabrese, Julie Reiner, Steve Olsen and Gaz Regan.
"Wow, I just feel totally overawed by this. I know it sounds like a cliché but to be announced as the DIAGEO RESERVE WORLD CLASS™ BARTENDER OF THE YEAR 2014 is like a dream. The other finalists really are the best bartenders in the world today so for the judges to pick me as the winner is incredible" said Charles Joly.
"This journey didn't start today at the ceremony, it started many years ago when I first started working in a local bar. I make drinks with my heart and it makes me happy to see customers happy. The possibilities open to a bartender are limitless, not just in terms of your career but your creations - the only limit is your imagination."
Matteo Fantacchiotti, Global Vice President Commercial, DIAGEO RESERVE, said: "Right from the beginning Charles Joly's passion, creativity and unrivalled mixology skills captivated the judges. His desire to create unique serves that combined sophisticated tastes with innovative modern twists never faltered at any stage of the competition. It's a real honor to have Charles as our 2014 Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS™ ambassador."
Charles Joly will now become a global ambassador for Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS™, a role which will see him travel the world, educating and inspiring new talent whilst developing his own skills and knowledge through the different tastes and techniques they experiences along the way.
The 2014 WORLD CLASS™ Finals consisted of a series of innovative challenges staged around Great Britain, starting in Gleneagles, Scotland, before travelling via the iconic Orient Express to London. Discovery was at the heart of the competition, a theme brought to life by the series of innovative challenges that immersed the 48 finalists in Great British culture and inspired them to create premium serves, using the world's finest spirits.
This year, for the first time ever, consumers were also invited to participate in the WORLD CLASS™ Global Final and discover a world of fine drinking culture at the WORLD CLASS™ House where masterclasses run by world-renowned bartenders, unique cocktails and food tasting sessions that made the WORLD CLASS™ House the spiritual home of fine drinking experiences this summer.

Skip to comments.A Chevy Impala That Goes 500 Miles On A Tank? With Natural Gas, It's Possible
Posted on 10/17/2013 6:06:17 AM PDT by thackney
Capitalizing on Americas abundant supply of clean-burning, low-cost natural gas, General Motors said Wednesday it will build a Chevrolet Impala sedan that can operate on either gasoline or compressed natural gas and travel up to 500 miles between fill-ups.
The bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale summer as a 2015 model, could be the start of something big. Honda Motor has been selling a natural gas-powered Civic since 2011 and while still modest, sales have been steadily rising. The Japanese carmaker is on track to sell about 2,500 CNG Civics this year, up from 1,900 in 2012 and 1,200 the year before. In July, Ford Motor said its most popular vehicle, the F-150 pickup, will be offered with a compressed natural gas engine starting in the 2014 model year.
Natural gas will grow increasingly attractive as an alternative fuel source, as weve seen each year with natural gas Honda Civic sales, particularly in areas like California where HOV lane access is available, said Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book. The lack of infrastructure remains a hurdle, but if more automakers begin to offer CNG-powered vehicles, we could see a greater push for access to CNG in the years to come.
The Impalas bi-fuel powertrain is engineered to switch seamlessly from CNG to gasoline, which should reassure consumers worried about finding a place to refuel. For business fleet customers, whose drivers return to a central location, CNG refueling shouldnt be a problem. GM did not announce the new cars price, which is likely to be higher than the standard gas model, but savings at the pump could offset that extra payout quickly.
(Excerpt) Read more at forbes.com ...
And in an accident it will break into 500 pieces and go 500 feet in every direction.
Already well underway. I know a company that is doing quite well converting commercial fleets to run on LNG. Between the lower cost and the cleaner burn, resulting in less engine wear, the ROI is pretty dramatic.
Not the first time this has been done, of course. My BF has two bi-fuel Chevys, both Cavaliers, from the early 2000s. They were commonly used as fleet cars for government agencies, but I guess they proved impractical at the time and were auctioned off.
The computers regulating the natural gas switchover in his cars went bad long ago, so now he just runs them on regular gasoline.
Yeah....really believable - from the people that brought you the destruction of free-enterprise, legal interest in financial assets, pandering to Unions and their medical plan, et al....
They lied, LIED about Volt's efficacy, its financing, its value, its performance - everything....Just because you slap the name "Impala" on it ain't gonna cut it this time, GM. Choke on your cars and trucks.
This is easy to do, they just make the fuel tank larger.
I could build one that could go a thousand miles, but wouldn't have a back seat, and the springs would have to be stronger.
We have been using compressed natural gas for decades in highway vehicles. The crash test data, and actual crashes, proves your made up claim false.
Carbon fiber tanks designed to withstand 4,000 psi or more are quite strong and don't shatter.
And in an accident it will break into 500 pieces and go 500 feet in every direction.
These pieces will go in excess of 500 MPH. I had a 79 Vega that got 35MPG at interstate speed limit. I often stopped to get gas just to stretch my legs and get something to drink. 500 miles in one setting is cruel and usual punishment.
Is CNG safe?
The answer to this is, unequivocally, yes CNG is a safe form of energy. However, there are many myths out there regarding the dangers of CNG and we would like to discuss those here. For a visual demonstration of just how safe CNG is, please check out these three videos: (at link above)
Gun Test on Natural Gas Tank
Dynamite Test on Natural Gas Tank
Severe Abuse Test on Natural Gas Tank
VW made a splash with the Passat turbodiesel, able to do 700 miles on one tank of fuel. Perhaps jealous, Mercedes has recently introduced the E250 diesel, a sedan that can travel a bladder-busting 800 miles on a single tank.
A 1997 to 2001 Camry 4 cylinder will go 600 miles on a tank. 41 MPG at 75 MPH. I have done it many times. The newer ones are too heavy and have too much frontal area to do that good.
Back in the early 70s, when the oil embargo hit, GM began working on a 40 gallon gas tank for the full size cars but the govt put the kibosh on it.
That is part of the CNG price as it is sold. Just like we don't need to discuss the cost of refining crude into gasoline, the cost is built into the price of the fuel.
Ok, the green liars lied about the volt.
Being conservative does not mean hating green if it makes free market sense.
Note: Honda has been making, selling, and profiting from a CNG Civic for a couple years now without any subsidies.
No one mentions it because it is of course included in the price you pay.
The other advantage to CNG that no one every mentions is the storage of it. Typically around here when a gas station needs to replace their gasoline storage tanks the company goes out of business. Replacement of the tanks is very expensive. IF a gasoline storage tank ever leaks, it becomes an EPA superfund site. The owners of the station almost always end up declaring bankruptcy. If a CNG tank ever leaks it then just vents into the atmosphere.
I agree CNG is a good option. However, the last company in existence that could do it justice is GM. They should starve and go out of business.
I guess you could say that Dynamite, Black Powder and Nitroglycerin are safe also. It is a relative statement. I don't want to hunt down a place to get high pressure natural gas just to drive a car. It is a risk and hassle that I am not ready to take. Why not get gas prices back under $2.00 a gallon and leave the exotic fuels to the hobbyists. Rational fuel prices would expand the economy greatly and give freedom of travel back to the people.
My 2005 E320 CDI regularly goes 600 miles on a tank, plus or minus. In mixed driving, I average 30 mpg, but on one roundtrip from the Annapolis area to Ocean City, Maryland, I got 40 mpg, even with stop-and-go traffic in the Easton - Cambridge area, at speeds of 65 mph - 75 mph.
LNG is not going to be economic for consumers like you and I. It works great for fleet service or long-haul trucking. But the need to either keep the engine running or the tank temperature below -260°F after a few days of non-use is not going be an economic solution for a daily driver.
Wishing will not make it so. Pretending that the cost to produce oil in the shale fields is no different than older conventional fields won't make it true.
You should google all the suppliers from fuel lines, fuel injection and the tankage involved. All the certified retrofitters meet all the Govt alphabet soup certifications, but you should look into the tanks for CNG made out of spun and welded aluminum rapped in Carbon-Fiber/Graphite, that meet all crash requirements...
What? I don't think you've done much research into this, have you? There's no refrigeration on LNG tanks.
At 28 mpg, my Impala is getting 400 + to the tank now.
Stories like this with insufficient information (no, I have not bothered to read the full article about a GM vehicle) are like the friend why says,
"My car gets GREAT gas mileage!"
"Really, how much?"
"Well, I filled up last Friday and am still showing a quarter tank remaining!"
Insurance companies that evaluate cost and risk have figured out that CNG is safer than gasoline.
Data collected over time has demonstrated natural gas vehicles to be safe in actual operation. Based on a survey of 8,331 natural gas utility, school, municipal and business fleet vehicles (NGVs) that traveled 178.3 million miles:
The NGV fleet vehicle injury rate was 37% lower than the gasoline fleet vehicle rate.
There were no fatalities compared with 1.28 deaths per 100 million miles for gasoline fleet vehicles
the sad part being, of course, that by law Ugandan gas stations are 1,000 miles apart
You can probably get around that one.
Has anyne tried a car gas turbine yet?
As for as the tank exploding in a collision,I have to call Bull Crap. This ain't 1935. Some fear mongers
sound a lot like today's crop of civil rights activists who are stuck in the 1960s
There's no refrigeration on LNG tanks.
No. The insulated tanks must also be designed to withstand the increasing pressure for a typical span of 5 days. After that point, they start venting fuel if nothing else is done to reduce the temperature. This is not going to be acceptable in a residential environment.
No it could it not. I didn't realize CNG had that kind of costs savings on a doller per mile traveled basis.
A compressor must be used to put the gas into your car while parked in your garage. The compressor cost $10,000 and takes 8 to 16 hours to recharge the tank depending on tank size. No one ever mentions this little detail about CNG vehicles.
I just re-read some of your posts and you are right on in your support of LNG. However, you are confusing LNG with CNG when talking about low temp tanks. Sorry if my last post was snarky but I thought you were the one poo-pooing LNG.
Competing projects propose $500 home CNG fueler
They fill overnight. Also most people don't drive 500 miles every day.
In good conditions, my GMC Duramax can go 500 miles on a tank. In perfect, 600 miles. On straight #2 Diesel. Diesels are easy to convert to CNG.. Add the tank, control system (regulated by boost pressure) and a nozzle in the intake to fumigate the intake with CNG. The kit is very affordable. I considered doing the conversion but the tall pole in the tent was a place to fill the CNG. I have natural gas in my house, but the pump cost $15K last I checked and had to be rebuilt every 40 hours of use. The only other places to fill the CNG around me were municipal filling stations.
That can be worked around, by doing the thing modular. Keep two tanks, one being always recharged. Load charged tank instead of charging the car.
How big a tank?
They lost me at "chevy".
You left gasoline out of your dangerous materials list.
I saw sometimes 20 full propane tankers on the railroad going though the campus at Colorado State University. Each one was capable of wiping out a radius of one mile.
The Russians have a bomb that weighs about 30,000 pounds and uses fuel for its explosive. It is a "Fuel Air Explosive" device which is their largest non nuclear device.
You can buy a lot of diesel for $15k.
The original manufacture of the Phill home CNG unit went out of business, mostly due to their quality problems and poor reliability many years ago. The rights to the name and product were purchased by BRC, a commercial CNG refueling manufacture.
The housing may look similar, but it is a far better unit and should be closer to $5,000 installed unless you have other onsite issues.
Also, depending on where you live, more CNG commercial stations are opening up.
Natural Gas Fueling Station Locations
In some locations, lease option of the compressor is also available.
Well, crap. I'm the one confusing the two. Sorry.

I wish I could actually give a review of the training, but I can only give a review of customer service at this point. I talked to Donna a few weeks ago about training my dog. She said she may have an opening the following Tuesday, that she would call me Monday to let me know. If not, it would be the following week. I never got the phone call so I assumed it would be the following week. Still no phone call. I called twice, leaving a message, but nothing. This is bad customer service. If she didn't want to train my dog, tell me. Not returning phone calls is very bad business in my opinion. I'll find someone else who wants my business.

I fared better staying at this hotel this past January than the one I stayed overnight in this past July. Shuttle was more prompt than expected and hotel was within walking distance to Champions Sports Bar and Grill. The only problem I had was plumbing issue faulty toilet and they took our report of this at the desk.

Summertine Vacation Travel ... Need a Guide?
At Vintages we have a lot of old books ... collectible ... antiquarian ... children's ... first editions ... novels ... and more. One area we specialize in is old city and country guide books. We have France, Paris, England, London, Italy, Rome, Greece and more. We also have a small selection of maps as well.
These guide books go back to the turn of the last century and have descriptions of hotels, attractions, restaurants, travel tips, old advertisements and numerous maps. Great stuff. Most are priced at around $45.00 each and are available in our shop ... inquire if interested.
We also have the Grand Daddy of Travel Books ... The Stoddard's Lectures. John Lawson Stoddard traveled the world in the last quarter of the 19th century and talked about his experiences in a series of lectures, which were serialized and later published as a set. We have two sets and they are FABULOUS! (These are priced at $179 & $195 per set.)
Have a great vacation!

Famous 20th Century Americans
With Independence Day nearly upon us, I thought it was time to celebrate America through its iconic figures of the last century. This is my list ... you could add your own, debate my choices or just give thought to those Americans that have influenced you, your experiences, your life. My choices were based on the simple criteria that they must have made an impact on me through their achievements, their fortitude and their contributions to society in the 1900s. Are there more ... sure ... but I only have so much space. (BTW: These are in no particular order.) Have fun ... and make your own list.
|Ali ... The Greatest ... both in the ring and in life
|Babe Ditrickson (Zaharias) ... such a great athlete who influenced women's sports as no other has
|Leonard Bernstein ... a true American musical icon ... I remember listening to him on the radio as a child
|Julia Child ... if you love to cook ... and I do ... she has to be on the list ... transformed much of the American diet
|FDR ... accomplished so much even through personal pain ... arguably the best Democratic president of the 1900s
|Frank Lloyd Wright ... creative, stubborn, arrogant, genius
|Thomas Edison ... what didn't he invent?
|Hepburn and Tracy ... Kate and Spencer ... they made the silver screen their own
|Shirley Temple ... Hollywood's greatest little star
|Ronald Reagan ... from sportscaster to B-movies to politics ... arguably the best Republican president of the 1900s
|Jim Thorpe ... possibly the greatest athlete ever ... multi-sport champion
|Jesse Owens ... challenged Hitler's best and beat them! ... one of sports greatest icons
|Henry Ford ... "any color as long as it is black" ... made the automobile affordable for the average man
Seeing this list of Great Americans of the 20th Century gives a new meaning to "Made in America."

Touring and Tasting Wine at Beringer Vineyards
Napa Valley is a fun place to spend a day or a weekend. Last month we spent a few days up there with family. We stayed right next to some vineyards ... not hard to do in St. Helena ... and had several marvelous sit-down wine tastings. The whole adventure started at Beringer Vineyards with a full tour of the historic property, including the gardens, the caves and both a barrel tasting in the cave and educational tasting in the kitchen.
Founded in 1875, Beringer Vineyards is considered to be the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley and is listed under the National Register of Historical Places. The Beringer Brothers Winery (as it as known for a century) had its first harvest and crush in 1876. With Jacob Beringer serving as Winemaker and Frederick Beringer as financier, the brothers made approximately 40,000 gallons of wine (18,000 cases) that first year. Today, Beringer Vineyards is a huge wine company, but still manages to keep the family winery feel to its estate. In fact, Mark Beringer, became Chief Winemaker in 2015 … he is a direct descendant of founding brother Jacob Beringer.
We took some awesome photos and I thought I would share them with you.
|Vineyards in St. Helena
|Cabernet Sauvignon Grapevines
|Beringer's Rhine House Built in 1884
|Beringer Private Reserve Wines
|Barrels used for aging
|Some wonderful large old barrels
|Wine glasses after our barrel tasting in the cave
|While the caves are dimly light by "electric lights", there are still some old candles burning along the walls
|Vaulted walkway between the caves
|Ornate old barrels
|This is how the caves looked years ago. Today the working winery is across the road.
|More aging barrels
|The Kitchen Tasting Room
|The setting for our educational tasting
|Garden walkway ... the grounds are beautiful

The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee was the first home for Chrysler's Pentastar V6 engine. As you may recall, the powerplant was codenamed "Phoenix," and it was charged with replacing seven other engines in 11 models in the Chrysler and Dodge lineups. Along with it being a well-regarded piece of engineering, its sheer ubiquity goes a long way toward explaining how in just 18 months the Trenton, Michigan plant that produces it has cranked out a million of them.

While the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee wowed the crowds in New York, what lies beneath could be a key to Chrysler's recovery. The new 3.6-liter V6, called Pentastar after the company's five-pointed-star logo, replaces seven – count 'em, seven – of Chrysler's aging engines, and stands as the outcome of several years of development.

Jessica Biel in Genetic Denim & William Rast and Justin Timberlake in William Rast
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake were spotted out rushing out of Bubby's Restaurant New York after having breakfast. Jessica wore a pair of Genetic Denim The Shane in Onyx jeans with a William Rast denim jacket and Justin wore what else but William Rast jeans. It's good to see them out together. Their relationship looks to be going strong despite the break-up rumors.
