"Cash for Clunkers" proves better for saving oil and CO2 — and for the economy — than predicted, so of course Senate GOP opposes it
I was not a big fan of the final version of "Cash for Clunkers" because its mileage improvement requirements were so inadequate, as Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) explained here.
But in the real world, the public has mostly turned in gas-guzzlers in exchange for fuel-efficient cars — which perhaps should not have been a total surprise since oil prices are rising, gas guzzlers remain a tough resell in the used car market, and most fuel-efficient cars are much cheaper than SUVs. In fact, the AP reports:
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the average mileage of new vehicles purchased through the program is 9.6 miles per gallon higher than for the vehicles traded in for scrap. Buyers of new cars and trucks that get 10 mpg better than their trade-ins get the $4,500 rebate. People whose cars get between 4 mpg and 10 mpg better fuel efficiency qualify for a smaller $3,500 rebate.
LaHood said some 80 percent of the traded-in vehicles are pickups or SUVs, meaning many gas-guzzlers are being taken off the road. The Ford Focus is a leading replacement vehicle. General Motors Co., Chrysler Group LLC and Ford accounted for 47 percent of the new vehicles purchased.
A 9 mpg gain translates into annual savings of 3.8 million barrels of oil per year and nearly $1,000 for consumers at the pump — not to mention that it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 660,000 metric tons a year. Okay, not a cost-effective emission reducer, but still, given the multiple benefits of the program, pretty darn good.
Indeed, the environmental gain is even greater because the trade-ins are not resold to the public or shipped to the developing world — but recycled.
The economic gain in this depressed economy and even more depressed auto market are pretty big for such a small program:
Ford said its July sales rose 1.6 percent in July from the same month last year, its first year-over-year increase since November 2007, while Chrysler Group LLC posted a smaller year-over-year sales drop compared with recent months, helped by "clunkers" deals. Other automakers showed gains, giving ammunition to supporters of the car rebate program.
But the Senate GOP, of course, opposes all government programs no matter how successful (see The Audacity of Nope: The GOP channels Groucho Marx, "Whatever it is, I'm against it"):
Senate Republicans appeared to be in no hurry.
"We were told this program would last for several months," GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said. "It ran out of money in a week, prompting the House to rush a $2 billion extension before anybody even had time to figure out what happened to the first billion."
Yes, the GOP argument is that it's too damn popular a government program, so we have to figure out how to slow it down long enough to kill it.
McConnell said, "It's not a bad idea to look for a second opinion. All the more so if they say they're in a hurry."
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senate's second-ranking Republican, suggested lawmakers "take a time-out" so they could receive more details about the program before providing more money. "I'm concerned that somebody's going to have to pay for this…."
Uhh, yes. Someone has to pay for successful government programs….
Unlike conservatives, who can't be moved by the evidence, even the moderate Dem skeptic Feinstein has been persuaded by the data and program success:
"The best solution is to continue and extend the program as it is," Feinstein said. "The program appears to be running very well."
The bottom line is that the program seems to be a shot in the arm for the auto industry, while achieving better energy and environmental gains than expected. Senate conservatives will bloviate, but I can't imagine them being dumb enough to filibuster it.
26 Responses to "Cash for Clunkers" proves better for saving oil and CO2 — and for the economy — than predicted, so of course Senate GOP opposes it
Of course the Republicans will try to put up a road block. Their greatest fear over the next few years: Obama succeeds in many areas, not just this one, and reminds voters what an effective and good president looks like. If that happens, what do the Republicans have to fall back on? "We were against everything you now like–vote for us!"
When enough voters decide that the answer to a question is "yes", then "the party of no" is the last place any politician wants to be. Therefore, they have to stop the accumulation of evidence that will convince people the answer is "yes".
I saw LaHood's statement in the NYTimes yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised by the average gain in mileage per trade-in. Not a bad mix of economic stimulus and environmental sensibility after all.
For Ford alone, apparently the majority of those traded in are F150 pickups and Explorers, with the Fusion and Escape being the most common purchase. The Escape is still an SUV (boo-hiss) but at least it's rated 20/28 mpg vs. the current Explorer's 14/20, and the hybrid version's a reasonable 34/31.
The GOP's looking pretty silly on this one …
Oh, another tidbit: "The Toyota Prius hybrid, which gets 46 miles per gallon according to EPA estimates, is the fourth best-selling car."
(being sold under the cash-for-clunkers program)
Anybody notice how people having more money helps the economy? Lowering taxes has the same affect.
[JR: Yeah, that's why the economy performed so well under Bush….]
The drop in demand for gas because of the increased mileage translates into a drop in the price of oil (though it may be hard to discern with all the other factors involved). So we all save.
Also, remind me how long it would have taken the Republican's "drill, baby, drill" policy to add this much oil to the market? The Republicans just wanted the give-away to be to their palls at Exxon, rather than Ford, GM, Chrysler, and the American people. They seem to want to accelerate climate change, rather than fight it.
It's great to see results better than anticipated, but it's also clear from the response that the program is too rich. The rebates should be shaved and the mileage increase raised. We must get more bang for our taxpayer buck. It would be hard to change the rules at this point, but after the $2 billion tranche is spent perhaps we can take a timeout and introduce a more reasonable program next year.
JR – Thanks, these are just the facts and figures I was looking for.
On the surface, this bill looked dubious, but it turns out it was a crafty compromise. While the minimum fuel efficiency improvement is 4 mpg, the extra $1,000 for 10 mpg improvement must've been a strong incentive, on top of the high oil prices. Somebody writing this bill did their homework.
My hope is this bill continues to be funded, but that the improvement requirement increases over time. The next increment would be $3,500 for a 10 mpg improvement and $4,500 for a 20 mpg improvement.
I hope the electric/PHEV incentives improve, too. The incentive should be larger for a more efficient vehicle (less energy expended per mile driven), not for a vehicle with an unnecessarily large battery.
3.8 Mbp/y saved as opossed to the 20 Mb/day used. Now lets just ask how many barrels of oil to make one of these replacement cars and what happens to the dumped vehicles and I smell that those barrels saved probably for a few years only offser the oil used to make em if that.
If Americans were buying 50-60 MPG vehicles then fine, the peak oil story yeaterday will require all US vehicle owners to change them to much more energy efficient cars. If the rest of the world has to wait for the USA to be bothered and serious about this issue then its time up for little less than 4C of warming.
Pete —
The "dumped vehicles" are recycled, as it says in the post.
Yes, the impact is small compared to the amount used overall, because the program is small. $1 billion is not much in a country of 300 million people.
Very little petroleum is used in manufacturing cars. I'd guess a small amount for manufacturing plastics and for shipping parts around, under 1 barrel per car. Do you have any numbers backing up your assertion that it is equal to 50 barrels per car? (Since each car is saving about 15 barrels per year and you claim that the embodied oil from manufacturing offsets a "few years" savings.) I mean, on your basis, the "embodied oil" cost alone for a new car would be ~$3,500.
50-60 mpg cars would be great, but you save as much gasoline going from 10 mpg to 20 mpg as you do going from 20 mpg to infinity. Getting rid of the clunkers is a major step.
#8 – How many barrels used to construct a car?
"Michael C. Ruppert, editor of From the Wilderness and author of Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of The American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, has estimated the construction of the average car consumes 42 barrels of oil."
You can google the link if you want it.
42 barrels at 42 gallons per = 1,764 gallons.
Average drive drives 12,000 miles per year. At 18 MPG that's 667 gallons per year. A 9.6 MGP improvement would mean 435 gallons per year, a 232 per year savings.
Based on all that, a 7.6 year break even point at which the oil used is replaced by the oil used.
A great deal? No. But every year beyond 7.6 saves some oil. The average lifespan of cars (US DOT) is 12 years.
And don't overlook the likelihood that without this program some of the clunkers might well have been replaced with inefficient models. Dealers were deeply discounting low MPG models not long ago when fuel prices were very high.
Additionally this program seems to be giving a needed boost to the economy. And a recovered economy will mean that manufacturers can get busy finding more ways to solve our energy problems. Little progress is made when things have ground to a halt.
The dumped vehicles? They get crunched and the metal gets reused, often as rebar and guard rails.
[JR: Need a better source, I think. Also must calculate the embedded energy that is recovered in the recycling, which is considerable.]
This program gives a hint of what could be achieved with pricing incentives. The problem is that the program is not really sustainable because it is not self-financing. But suppose buyers of new, fuel-efficient cars were offered long-term, low interest loans, with loan financing provided by refundable fees on inefficient cars in the same utility class. Buyers would not consider loan payments in their preference valuations because lifecycle fuel savings would offset the payments. Similarly, fee refunds would be offset by relatively higher lifecycle fuel costs. The loans and fees could induce purchase price differences similar to the Clunker program, but there would be no need for government financing. Furthermore, reducing sales of brand new "Clunkers" could have much more impact than retiring old Clunkers that are already near the end of their useful lifetime.
I think this type of incentive program could have much greater impact than federal fuel-economy/emission standards. Also, the financial incentive would be an order of magnitude greater than projected emission prices under cap-and-trade. The only "benefit" of including transportation fuels in cap-and-trade is that the huge emission reduction that might result from vehicle financing incentives could be traded for equivent emission increases elsewhere (e.g. from coal combustion).
The dumped cars are being sold for salvage – an old-fashioned word for "recycling". That's one of the requirements of the program.
Hmmmm. Take the money from all tax payers and give $4500 to a person who can already afford a "category 2 or 3" replacement… Tax the poor and give to the rich?
[JR: The rich don't own clunkers. The middle class are the ones mostly availing themselves of this.]
I heard at least five people call our local progressive radio show this morning and brag that they turned in their American-made cars and bought Toyotas and Hondas. That helps Ford and GM and our American workers all right.
[JR: This is not a fact-free zone: "The top-selling vehicle under the program so far is the Ford Focus. Four of the top 10-selling vehicles are manufactured by Detroit's Big Three. Of non-Big Three purchases, the Transportation Department's preliminary analysis suggests that more than half of these new vehicles were manufactured in the United States."]
No, not "salvage" in the usual sense. In the auto business salvage means reused. Usable parts are pulled to keep similar models running.
With this program the engines must be destroyed. A substance (I think containing silicon) is run through the engine until it is no longer usable.
Drive trains can be reused with restrictions.
Each clunker taken off the road is a low MPG vehicle gone.
#10 — Mr. Ruppert's work appears to be converting all energy into oil terms, if I'm looking at the same site you were. He mentions electricity as one aspect of energy use in manufacturing — but virtually no electricity is generated from oil in the U.S., and not much industrial process heat either.
Maybe 42 barrels of oil equivalent is in the ballpark for overall manufacturing energy use, but most of that is not actual oil.
Pete – reading closer it does seem that the 42 barrels is a measure of all energy, not just oil.
"I have good numbers showing that it requires 12% of all the hydrocarbon energy a vehicle will use in its lifetime just to make the vehicle in the first place (ore mining, raw material transport, paint, electricity, etc . . ."
He uses the 12% of all oil used during the lifetime of the vehicle to calculate 42 barrels.
On the same page Matt Savinar calculates an average of 27 barrels of oil. Electricity, etc. extra.
That would knock the 'time to recover oil' down to less than three years and about ten years of savings enjoyed.
No, not "salvage" in the usual sense. In the auto business salvage means reused. Usable parts are pulled to keep similar models running.
With this program the engines must be destroyed. A substance (I think containing silicon) is run through the engine until it is no longer usable.
Yes, I should've said "except for the engine".
#16 — Savinar is also using a figure based on total energy equivalent and not actual oil. "How many barrels of oil does it take to equal the energy consumed during 10% of a car's lifetime? Let's see:"
I'd think that the embodied energy in a new car is mostly from the steel production, which is in turn mostly coke (from coal) and electricity.
Pete #18, yes. So the break even point of oil used vs. oil saved drops even lower.
This "more energy will be used to make the new car than is saved" seems like a very bogus item.
Scanning the Edmunds list of eligible cars I saw none more recent than 2003 and most were 'last century'. Given an average life expectancy of 13 years lots of these clunkers were going to get replaced anyway. That energy would have been expended even without this program.
Cash for Clunkers has apparently steered lots of people toward more efficient vehicles. And it surely has given the car business a shot in the arm when it was so badly needed.
It is really great when a program comes out and does much better than expected – I was really expecting it to have people buying terrible large cars, but the people aren't (for the most part). A nice little victory, time to sit back and savor it for a little while.
How far were those clunkers driven each year and how far are the new cars going to be driven? I suspect the former were driven a lot less than the latter will be.
[JR: The rules don't allow real clunkers. People were turning in SUVs and light trucks that you can't get a good trade in on.]
Scatter – given that most cars/trucks are driven into the ground by someone before they get crunched, it's a fair guess that gas wasting guzzlers are going to their deaths sooner than they otherwise would.
Whether vehicles are driven more or less miles per year as they age seems irrelevant.
Nice thing is, since the poorest of us typically drive the oldest, highest mileage vehicles, down the road poorer people are going to have more high mileage choices than they otherwise would have had.
Don't you really enjoy win-win-wins?
I don't think it's irrelevant. Annual CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are important.
I'm just saying that it's unlikely to be as simple as average mileage x mpg improvement = saving.
A car uses 20% of it lifes energy usage in making it according to figures with an average mileage of 12000 a year and averge MPG of 22 over 12 years (the avergae lifetime of a USA car).
(I am from Europe and not and American). Your oil usage is such compelling reading through. Peak oil would effect you guys most so you all need to try and halve your oil consumption. Can it happen through efficiency gains and new technologies in time to avert <2C climate change and the economic effects of peak oil? 6.7% drop means a 30 Mb/d day come 2020
85,000,000 (2009)
42,484,975 (2019)
Huge falls at 6.7% drop per annum.
Oh yes I forgot. This peice on algae oil might just be able to achieve some very good results and to some degree help to rescue our plight if peak oil is right and those falls to occur.
3000 Gallons per acre in a 2 acre plot for which I am presuming that the yield will be one crop per annum. 1000 acres would yield 3 million gallons if scaleable and successful. It even take water and CO2 from a coal bed methane plant. Nice
1 million acres will yield 3 billion gallons of oil. 20 Mb/d x 42 = 840,000,000 a day. How many acres of land in the USA alone would yield enough biooil/algoil etc ?
How many times will the auto industry be bailed out with our money? This money could have been shared by all of us in a refund.

Skip to comments.Daily Caller editorial board endorses Anthony Weiner for mayor
Posted on 09/09/2013 9:40:43 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Anthony Weiner, the Peoples Choice
Mr. Weiner, the former congressman, offers voters more than a decade of accomplishments in his fight for the citys middle class and those struggling to make it. Blessed with a beautiful wife, natural charisma, the friendship of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and a sack full of policy ideas, Mr. Weiner is clearly the hardest candidate in the race for his opponents to beat off.
The Daily Caller joins many across the city of New York in kneeling to endorse Mr. Weiner in Tuesdays Democratic mayoral primary.
Mr. Weiner is not without stiff competition. Mr. de Blasio, the citys public advocate, has run a spirited campaign appealing to a demographic that largely stopped following politics after the imprisonment of Lyndon LaRouche. His campaign emblem, the trademark de Blasio hammer and sickle, can be found displayed proudly in the underrepresented barrios, jam-band concerts, and UFO conventions that Mr. Bloombergs administration attracted bad vibes for ignoring.
Ms. Quinn, endorsed by both Mr. Bloomberg and the New York Times, is the undisputed champion of the waste-management industry, the tomato sauce manufacturers, and the adult entertainment nightclub owners....
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Mr. Weiner is always in (Carlos) Danger from his challengers. He has stiffened his resolve and will make sure to show this stiffened resolve to any who want to test it.
After all, Danger is his middle name.
New York Deserves Weiner.
Considering his sexting scandals, they might have wanted to re-word this.
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." H.L. Mencken
Randy Newman's Gone Dead Train
"Note: There is no Daily Caller editorial board."
"Considering his sexting scandals, they might have wanted to re-word this."
I'm sure they worked very hard to come up with that wording.
I think you're missing the whole point of the article.
If you continue reading you'll see other efforts pointing in the same general direction.
"The Daily Caller joins many across the city of New York in kneeling to endorse Mr. Weiner"
"Mr. Weiner is not without stiff competition."
"Only Mr. Weiners tech-savvy campaign throbs through its veins with populist sentiment. The former congressman lasted even when his competitors told him to finish early. His moderate leadership will offer the city protection. Unlike past mayors, he will reach around the table to deal with both parties, rather than passing reforms through the back door. This man is firm in his beliefs, and he is not afraid to sweat. When he unloads his policy ideas, people swallow. The voters of New York are swallowing his message whole."
I'll stop there.... I think you probably get it now.
What's with the weiner jokes?
Only if he selects Holder for his chief of staff so they will have a weiner holder.
It's junk like this that make me refuse to take Tucker Carlson and his crappy outlet seriously. Is this a news organization or a college paper? I guess it doesn't matter, shitty satire doesn't work for either
They absolutely meant it just the way they said it. This 'endorsement' has more double entendres than anthony has wishes into the cornfield.
No, dude. This is pure SATIRE.
I think it's funny. Running an alinsky right in their face. Laughing at them is a weapon. And weiner deserves it if anyone does.
Two points: First, satire is supposed to be funny and not solely consist of dumb penis oriented double entendre; and second, anyone wishing to be taken seriously as a journalist has to act like they mean it. This fails both as satire and as journalism, exactly what I've grown to expect from Tucker and Co.
Weiner is a certifiable jackass poling at 7%. He would be a footnote if people let him, but the Daily Caller has to fumble for the lowest hanging fruit there is. Stupid.
Umm, no. I as just funnin' with ya, but for that 1ittle unnecessarily snarky remark, I quit. You aren't any fun at all.
One weiner replacing the current weiner. Sounds right. Plus, he will get votes from the "hard" left. Wish they'd get a grip.
Weiner is sure to firm up the penile code.
Whoosh! Right over yer head huh?
Anthony Weiner was a democrat congressman from NY.
He resigned after photographing his penis and sending it to several women he wanted to "date" while in office.
You may make up your own mind about what that summary says about democrats, democrat politicians, new york voters, new your political reporters, mainstream reporters, and the general quality of those who Obama wants to work with.
That was entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.
..and you sure ain't a dude! :-)
It's because he's so photogenic.
I think you are onto something. This can be taken a step further. There are so many laughable inadequacies in this administration, it is time to use the Alinsky tactics against them and beat them at their own game. Pun intended.
I can't count the number of times Robert Gibbs, and now Jay Carney feign amusement at questions from conservative reporters. Time to start mocking.
Elect the silliest, most inadequate candidate and then enjoy the show as a result.
Same as watching your weekly situation comedies and reality shows now on TV.
I hope NY elects Weiner. I could use some GOOD COMEDY ENTERTAINMENT without all the commercial breaks.
Satire...lots of double meanings...
"This fails both as satire and as journalism, exactly what Ive grown to expect from Tucker and Co"
First I think you must have little to no sense of humor and no appreciation at all for the fine art of satire. Second, the Daily Caller has broken more news that the mainstream media has not than most internet news organizations. Third, I happen to really like Tucker Carlson, who in my opiniion is an excellent spokesman for the conservative cause, is extremely intelligent, has a good sense of humor, and is eager to pursue breaking news and breaks a lot of it himself through the Daily Caller.
He is also an excellent family man with four children and loves his wife. He also loves dogs, animals in general, loves to fish, is pro-gun and loves the great outdoors. What's not to like? kCheck him out on Fox & Friends Weekend, as he is one of the co-hosts. I think you know very little about Tucker Carlson. I think your analysis of Tucker and Co. is dead wrong and has no value.
Then they just signed a contract on a condo in hell.
He's actually a very accurate representative of the current day Democratic party.
Time to call mandatory the need for jockey straps (protection and support) for all candidates.
No, but my comment DID go over yours!
You're right, I do. I previously stopped reading after the part about his opponents beating off. I should have read further, but I'm really over Anthony and his Weiner.
Thanks for setting me straight.
Ha! Nice try!
No, I defended my comment before some other FReepers pointed out that, had I read the article further, I would have seen the rest of the double entendre's. So, it was my bad.
However, in my defense, I am fairly sick of both Anthony AND his weiner and didn't want to read anymore than I did. I was just curious why anyone would endorse this pervert for anything other than a prison cell with a guy named "Ben Dover"!!
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Google maps North Korea
Follows chairman's recent visit
INTERNET GIANT Google has updated its Maps service to show a much better picture of North Korea.
The firm recently sent its chairman north of the border, and since his safe return it has busied itself improving its picture of the area. Google Maps now shows some of North Korea's most remote locations, and Google is happy to be able to show them. You can see the difference in the before and after pictures here.
"The goal of Google Maps is to provide people with the most comprehensive, accurate, and easy-to-use modern map of the world. As part of this mission, we're constantly working to add more detailed map data in areas that traditionally have been mostly blank," said Jayanth Mysore, senior product manager at Google Map Maker.
"For a long time, one of the largest places with limited map data has been North Korea. But today we are changing that with the addition of more detailed maps of North Korea in Google Maps."
The new maps have been created with the help of locals, so not, as we first imagined, Eric Schmidt with some sort of GPS and 3D mapping tracker underneath a large cowboy hat.
"Creating maps is a crucial first step towards helping people access more information about parts of the world that are unfamiliar to them. While many people around the globe are fascinated with North Korea, these maps are especially important for the citizens of South Korea who have ancestral connections or still have family living there," added Mysore.
"We thank all the Map Maker contributors who continue to create helpful maps for people around the world."
Schmidt implored North Korea to soften its stance when he left the country. Speaking to reporters at Beijing airport he said that its choice to limit internet access is going to bite it back.
"As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their physical world, their economic growth and so forth, and it will make it harder for them to catch up economically. We made that alternative very clear," he said, according to a report at the Guardian.
"Once the internet starts, citizens in a country can certainly build on top of it, but the government has to do something. They have to make it possible for people to use the internet, which the government in North Korea has not yet done. It's their choice now, and in my view it's time now for them to start or they will remain behind." µ

Moroccan-Style Chicken
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 45 mins
Moroccan-style chicken which can be served on a bed of steamed couscous or rice. The chicken is garnished with paprika and parsley, with a tahini sauce mixed with a blend of herbs on the side. Made from sesame seeds, tahini is an excellent source of both calcium and protein. This recipe is from an International Masters '1001 recipes for pan or wok' recipe card, and has been posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. Don't be daunted by the seemingly long list of ingredients: most are herbs and spices! You can vary the proportions of the herbs - parsley, mint and coriander - to suit your taste preferences, as long as you have 3 tablespoons in total. The preparation and cooking times do not include the 30 minutes needed for marinating the chicken.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lemons
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 small onion
- 150 ml olive oil, plus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped, plus sprigs to garnish
- 1 tablespoon mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coriander, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika, plus
- extra paprika, to garnish
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 chicken legs
- 15 g unsalted butter
- 12 stuffed green olives
- 200 g tahini
- Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon, peel and crush the garlic, peel and grate the onion; and mix the chopped herbs - parsley, mint and coriander - together so that they are well combined.
- Mix the oil (150ml = a generous 1/2 cup), lemon juice, garlic, onion and two tablespoons of the herbs together; stir in the paprika and cumin; place the chicken in a shallow dish, pour the oil mixture over the chicken and turn, to coat, and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the remaining oil with the unsalted butter in a non-stick pan.
- Remove the oil from the marinade and reserve half of the marinade.
- Sauté the chicken for 40-50 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked right through.
- Cut the remaining lemon into wedges, halve the olives, and add both to the pan with the reserved marinade, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the lemon wedges start to change colour.
- Mix the tahini and the remaining herbs.
- Divide the chicken between 4 warm plates, and serve with the tahini/herb mixture garnished with parsley and paprika.
- Variation: If you cannot find tahini, use hummus mixed with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or lemon juice.
Most Helpful
This chicken has great flavor, even without the tahini, but the tahini really makes it. We really only needed a spoonful per person, so maybe a quarter of what is called for in the recipe. I used 2 chicken breasts and baked them, so only added a half tablespoon of the oil to the marinade (skipped the butter), which worked out well. I added the turmeric in step 2, since it seemed like that was likely where it belonged. Great dish!
This is so good! Used chicken breast here so it didn't get brown and came out yellowish. Taste wasn't too lemony or too olivy (if there is such a word!ol). It was just right. l love the blend of spices here. Had this with tahini mixt and hummus.
This was an easy dish to make, and smelled great while it was cooking. I did use boneless skinless breasts pounded thin instead of the chicken (got home late, and needed it to cook faster than an hour). I was also out of turmeric, which I thought I had. I enjoyed the zing the olives and lemon wedges gave to the chicken, and would definitely not ever omit those ingredients. Also, my tahini appeared to have gone bad ( I sure was having a bad dinner day), so I didn't use that either. I served this with Moroccan Couscous #24328, and the sweet couscous balanced nicely with the tangy chicken.

Consideration for animals
I would think that consideration could be given to neighbors, seniors, the sick and our animals when it comes to fireworks and celebrating the holidays.
Digging into the past is paying off for the Oldham County Historical Society, which is being recognized by the National Parks Service for its efforts in uncovering the life and exploring the legacy of author and abolitionist Henry Bibb.
Humility is a difficult thing to define. Most people say, "I know it when I see it." We are offended when we see arrogance, and we like it when arrogant people get what's coming to them.
Thanks from grand marshal
Betty and I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to everyone who helped to make this year's Oldham County Day a very special event in our lives.

Amazon.com Review
Building a transcontinental railroad, writes the prolific historian Stephen Ambrose, was second only to the abolition of slavery on Lincoln's presidential agenda. Through an ambitious program of land grants and low-interest government loans, he encouraged entrepreneurs such as California's "Big Four"--Charles Crocker, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Leland Stanford--to take on the task of stringing steel rails from ocean to ocean. The real work of doing so, of course, was on the shoulders of immigrant men and women, mostly Chinese and Irish. These often-overlooked actors and what a contemporary called their "dreadful vitality" figure prominently in Ambrose's narrative, alongside the great financiers and surveyors who populate the standard textbooks.
In the end, Ambrose writes, Lincoln's dream transformed the nation, marking "the first great triumph over time and space" and inaugurating what has come to be known as the American Century. David Haward Bain's Empire Express, which covers the same ground, is more substantial, but Ambrose provides an eminently readable study of a complex episode in American history. --Gregory McNamee

Ambrose's cheerleading of the accomplishments of the common American man - he does it in his WWII books and others - makes him seem a little like the Tom Clancy of the history field. Clancy succeeds because of his terrific imagination and captivating style. Ambrose succeeds when he backs it up with good writing but in this book the poor scholarship and terrible editing is a real downer!
How can any modern historian state, "The Chinese . . . needed little or no instruction in handling black powder, which was a Chinese invention . . ." (p.156). Really now! Perhaps all Chinese are good at flower arranging as well.
How can an historian of Ambrose's stature totally invert a well known event of the Civil War as he does on p.292 with the statement that "George B. McClellan's uncoded orders were captured by the Confederates before the Battle of Antietam, giving Robert E. Lee a chance to read them." For those who are unfamiliar with this incident, it was Lee's orders that were discovered by Union troops near Frederick, MD, providing the bumbling McClellan with the information he needed to head off the attempt to invade Pennsylvania.
Ambrose needs a new editor if this is what his current handler does.Read more ›
Ambrose admitted in the introduction that he knew nothing about the subject. Is it any surprise then that he uncritically accepted and repeats fables about the construction of this railroad? But Ambrose can take credit for many original mistakes. He moves the California gold discovery site to the west of Sacramento, has the Humboldt River rise in northeast Utah, and stretches the Forty-Mile Desert to 100 miles. Theodore Judah is mistakenly credited with building the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls. Central Pacific construction supervisor J.H.Strobridge is presented making decisions for the rival Union Pacific.
Some mistakes--like the eight-foot long bunk cars for the workers, or the stories repeated in different chapters--might be the result of poor editing and proof reading. But other statements make one wonder if even the author read this book before sending it to the printer. Perhaps the most ludicrous image in the book is Ambrose's description of Central Pacific workers drilling holes in the granite for blasting. He tells us men standing on step ladders pounded away with sledge hammers on a long drill held steady by three men--one holding it as high as he could reach, another in the middle, and the third down by his toes.Read more ›
One of the best passages relates to the last (golden) spike, at Promontory Summit, Utah. The story is breathtaking. The reader expects the final hammering of the spike -like the whole world on May 10, 1869- from San Francisco to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and even London (via the telegraph). I will not say what happened (I do not want to run the climax of the story for the reader!)
In conclusion, I would strongly recommend the reading of "Nothing Like it In The World". Stephen E. Ambrose is at his best... and nobody can object with his conclusion that the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad is one of most important event of the American Nineteenth Century!

A big congratulations to the team at Zipcar, on the completion of its acqusition by Avis Budget Group. We're proud of the role that Revolution has played in the growth of the sharing economy from a concept that many were skeptical about to one that is gracing the covers of major global magazines. Below is a post I wrote earlier this year on my belief that the sharing economy has come of age - a belief I think is even more true today.

A Non-Athletic Regular Person. NARPS are commonly seen trying to perform rather easy or basic athletic tasks but failing miserably at them. Such tasks include gym class kickball, dodgeball, flag football, ultimate frisbee, beach volleyball, and swimming. On rare occasions however you will catch a NARP trying to perform mildly advance soccer trick known only as the jester. or a nerd. someone who is not athletic at all.

Product Description
Like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Nat Cole's "The Christmas Song" stands as one of two or three pillars of holiday music. This collection of songs and greetings includes another technologically induced daughter-father duet on Mel Torme's classic hit as well daddy Cole's 1961 version of the tune. Fans of both Natalie and her dad will put this on the top of their wish lists. Two previously unreleased tracks--"God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" and "O Come All Ye Faithful"--will prompt a lot of lovers of Christmas music to fall in love again with Cole's incomparable style and timeless voice. --Martin Keller --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Known for his recording of "The Christmas Song," Cole sings every other Christmas song just as well as he does that classic. Particulary good are "Cradle in Bethlehem" -- which has an outstanding choral support, "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and "O Tannenbaum." There are only two other Christmas albums that rise to the level of "The Christmas Song": Johnny Mathis' "Merry Christmas" and Alan Jackson's 2002 release: "Let It Be Christmas."
Nat's album gets the nod because he has far more songs (19) on his album than either Mathis or Jackson.
But that's your top three of all-time folks. Sinatra, Crosby, Como, The Carpenters ... all are good, but never really approach Nat King Cole's album when one considers the quality and quantity of the songs on that album.
It's really striking how good it is. And how long is has stood the test of time. He had a voice made for Christmas.
This reissue features the standard 1961 version of Cole's timeless "The Christmas Story" (written by Mel Torme and Bob Wells); Cole did three other versions prior to the Carmichael take, going as far back as 1946 (the first without a string section). These three versions have not been the reissue standard since '61. However, two other renderings are represented on this CD: [1] another stale cut-n-paste duet with daughter Natelie (MOR radio has Hallmark to thank) and [2] a hidden bonus version, more piano-based, featuring only a small string section (likely the second 1946 version, which was the first "Christmas Song" to chart). In other good news, there's also first-to-CD versions of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "O' Come All Ye Faithful" (the latter of which is worth the price of admission alone), plus two King Cole spoken greetings.
My feeling is that no serious music collection should be without a compilation of Nat "King" Cole's Holiday classic. I'm biased, of course, because Cole is my favorite singer, but the music stands on it own as timeless. There are many Christmas-themed CDs available from this artist, but this is as good as any, if not the top so far.
It opens with the title song, which was introduced to the world by Nat. While I enjoy other renditions, this version is definitely a classic. This CD also includes the "duet" presented at the end with his daughter. Maybe I'm too much a traditionalist, but it just doesn't work for me nearly as well as the original, and I usually skip over it.
While every song is wonderful, standouts for me are the songs I don't have as often in my Christmas music collection. "Deck the Hall," "O Tannenbaum" (Yes, recorded in German.), "I Saw Three Ships," and "Caroling, Caroling" are included in this group. And I have to make special note of "A Cradle in Bethlehem." This musical version of the Christmas story is very touching. I wish more artists would record it.
Having listened to this album every Christmas I can remember, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it. Even now, listening to it makes me think of dark winter nights, decorating the tree, and wrapping presents. It has a special place in my collection, and I'm sure it will in yours as well. Don't hesitate, buy it today.

Chloe Bennett is one of the stars of the new TV show, "Marvel's Agents of Shield." The show hasn't been anything special so far but Chloe has been fantastic to watch. She is a major league piece of ass. So my hope is the show is on for many years so I can ogle her fine bod and imagine how amazing it would be to fuck her. That's what great TV can do.

Twenty of Holy Cross' athletic teams have achieved a perfect 100 percent graduation rate, according to the Graduation Success Rate Report, which has been released by the NCAA. The data used to calculate the Graduation Success Rate is from the four-class aggregate of entering classes from 2002 through 2005, for which the NCAA has compiled sport-by-sport figures.
In addition, Holy Cross' overall Graduation Success Rate for all student-athletes was 98 percent. This mark tied for the fifth best in the nation among all Division I institutions with Colgate, Columbia, Duke, Harvard and Yale, behind only Dartmouth (100 percent), Bucknell (99 percent), Brown (99 percent) and Notre Dame (99 percent).

Ok ladies, well ... I did it. At least for the most part. I've been working on Isabelle's first year scrapbook for about almost a month now and I have all the way through Easter of next year complete. It's been so much fun to do the pre-made pages and not worry aout the pictures ... just laying down the papers and stickers and such. (It's also been really fun doing it in the last couple of days because this little girl has been dancing around in my belly like crazy!) However, I cannot wait to get pictures of her on these pages. I have taken a picture of every page (mostly in 2-page form). If you are bored and would like to look at the pictures, please do so! I put them in a photobucket album so that I didn't have to bog this thread down with 25 pictures
The pictures show the pages as they would be if you were looking through the book from beginning to end. I have to apologize for my belly showing up in some of them :rolleyes:. Not all of the pages have titles, so I have included a mini description of each of the pages to explain what I'm planning on using them for.
If you see something wrong with the way the pages are set up or have any suggestions, please let me know
Thanks for looking!
