Some passings from the Western U.S.:
Ed Dimock, who raced sprint cars in northern California and the Western U.S., passed away June 5 at age 80.
Jay East, 86, passed away May 19. A popular and well-liked racer, East raced in jalopies, following the evolution into super modifieds and on to sprint cars. East won 7 or 8 CRA sprint car features (there is conflicting information).
Bud Eastin, 76, died June 16. Eastin raced in Utah from 1961 through 1970, notably at Salt Lake City Fairgrounds Speedway.
Ed Negre, 86, who raced stock cars from his Washington state roots, on to the Midwest and NASCAR's top circuit, passed away on June 4. He made 338 starts in NASCAR's top series from 1955 through 1979, competing regularly in the series from 1967 through 1979 as an owner-driver. Negre sometimes let others drive his car, including a young Dale Earnhardt, who made his first career start in NASCAR's top series in Negre's car. More on Ed Negre can be found in this article.
"Cap" Pidgeon raced stock cars on Southern California tracks from the 70s through 2000s, particularly at Ascot Park.
Owen Sullender, 85, passed away April 16. Sullender raced midgets in the Western U.S. in the 1960s.
Chuck Tontz, 90, passed away March 28. Tontz raced midgets and sprint cars in the Western U.S., most notably in the Pacific Northwest in the 50s and 60s. Tontz was the 1961 Oregon Midget Racing Association champion.

Re: Jay East, I have eight CRA wins for him. I am guessing the conflict stems from the fact that Bob East started winning before Jay was through with it, and so his last win may have been "misplaced"

Thanks Michael. I wasn't able to dig through all my material, which would have answered it conclusively, but I leaned to 8 because I considered the source more likely to be accurate.
Jay East was extremely well-liked by his fellow drivers, who considered him a fair and clean racer. He was a decent, capable driver quite late in his career, which came to an end after a 1980 flip at Ascot left him with eye damage that sadly, deteriorated over the rest of his life. On a personal note, Jay East was racing CAR super modifieds when I first started attending races. RIP Jay.

We have lost Sprint Car legend Jerry Blundy (http://obituaries.ga...y&pid=171738025&), a two-time IMCA champion, two-time Knoxville Speedway track champion (during Super Modifieds years), and champion of the Mississippi Valley and Mid States Racing Associations way back in the early fifties. I have a total of 40 IMCA Sprint Car wins between 1957 and '72, and many more all over the Midwest in a career spanning fully three decades - beginning with a win July 1 in 1951 at Peoria/IL, and still going strong with a second to Mike Brooks at Knoxville on July 14, 1979! Probably best known for his three successive wins on the California State Fairgrounds mile track in Sacramento, 1968 - '70, beating all the local hot shoes as well as the fellow Eastern "invaders". Tried USAC (best finish 6th at Alabama State Fairgrounds in '59 and again at IRP in '61) and WoO (15th at Knoxville April '79), but remained a true "outlaw" most of his career.

It seems Donnie Tilford's full name was not Donald Eugene Tilford, Jr., but Donald Gene Tilford.
As such the California Birth Record Index gives his birth date as 1 May 1955.

Today, Martino FINOTTO leave us ...
Edited by Haine Kane, 14 August 2014 - 12:44.
Posted 14 August 2014 - 21:28
Sad news indeed.
I recently interviewed his friend and co-driver for some years, Ruggero Melgrati, who had this to say about Finotto when I asked him what made him a good co-driver;
Most of your co-drives have been with Martino Finotto. What makes him such a good co-driver? Is he the best you've had, or do you have any other favourites?
I met Finotto when he was already 53. Everybody was considering him a gentleman driver, a rich man who was addicted to women, but not a top driver.
Well, in truth, he started racing at 37, and at 40 he raced at the old Silverstone circuit in Touring Cars with a BMW, got pole, and then won the race. So, he had talent.
Well, for me, he was "the perfect one" to share a sports car with: experienced, reliable and with a "chronographerpace" in long-distance races. He was also very intelligent, strong with maths and a very good strategist. Also, although it doesn't affect his driving he's a wonderful chef, cooking Italian food with style and taste!
Other good mates I drove with were definitely Carlo Facetti and Chip Robinson

An obituary I stumbled across from late 2012:
"Bucky" Stoner , 72, died Christmas night 2012 in Montclair, California. Stoner's father was involved in racing in Southern California as a driver, car owner and official covering jalopies, hot rods and super modifieds. Stoner raced super modifieds with CAR in the early to mid-60s and briefly raced stock cars on the local NASCAR circuit after the supers faded away in Southern California in 1968.

Dave Fitzgerald, 57, died in a plane crash in Idaho on August 5. Utah's Fitzgerald raced super modifieds with great success, winning the 1985 and 1986 USAC Utah Super Modified championship and won three races in the 1986 USAC National Super Modified series. USAC announcement at their website.
Ron Horton, 66, died August 22. Beginning in the unique sportsman class at Antioch Speedway, Horton and his brother Rick moved on to NARC sprint cars where both had great success. Ron won 16 NARC feature races and finished in the top 10 in points from 1975 through 1978 and 1980 through 1983 as well as 1985, with a best ranking of second in points coming in 1975 and 1985. He would finish third in points in 1977 and 1978 and fourth in 1980. He was particularly strong on the dirt at Calistoga, winning 7 times, and the pavement at Altamont, where he won 6 times. He also scored feature wins at Dixon, Petaluma and Chico.
EDIT: Thanks to Michael Ferner for filling in additional and later details on Ron Horton's career.

And he was also second in points in 1985, and fourth in '83, but I don't have him in the top ten for '79 (his brother was second that year).
Michael, thanks for the details. At the moment, I don't even have access to my collection of racing papers. Living in the Bay Area during much of that time, I remembered Ron Horton as one of the area's top sprint car racers. Quite an impressive record when one sees it all in one place.

Some passings in the Western U.S. over the past few months:
Ernie Lamm, 91, July 25 at Roseville, CA. Lamm was a racer and flagman at West Capital Raceway in West Sacramento, California.
Ron Strmiska (Sr.), 73, September 3 at Stockton, CA. Strmiska was a top pavement late model racer, racing out of Manteca. He was a regular competitor at Stockton 99 Speedway and had raced at Madera Speedway, but also was a competitor in late model open races up and down California in the 70s and 80s.
Jim Soares, 68, September 7. Soares promoted race tracks, dabbled with driving, but was probably best known for his talent for preparing dirt racing surfaces.
Ted Foltz, 81, September 17. Foltz began racing the short track Pikes Peak Speedway in Colorado Springs, moving on to the famed Pike's Peak Hill Climb, where he was a three-time winner. He won the open wheel class in 1970 and 1980 and won the stock car class in 1975.

Yes, it is. Sorry for the typo, thank you for the correction. I do these when I am very, very tired and have precious little time to do so, so I apologize in advance for the occasion typographical error that slips in. It's quite a bit of cutting and pasting and cross referencing while having multiple windows open and proofing is where they slip in. If you'd prefer, I could skip doing them altogether.
I watched Rom Strmiska race several times. A very good short track racer at a track (Stockton 99 Speedway) full of them. So, I recall how his name is spelled, just not under the conditions I work under

Jerry Dunbar, a long time participant in US sports car racing, mainly in the Wisconsin-Illinois area, passed away this weekend. Jerry started racing in the early 1950s and continued until he retired in 1996. He drove MGs, an Edwards Special, a D Jaguar-Chev, two Corvettes, a Camaro, and finally a Firebird later converted to a Camaro. He was a fixture at Road America and Blackhawk Farms, rarely missing a race at either track. He was the 1980 SCCA GT-1 Champion, winning the Runoffs at Road Atlanta that year. He rarely drove in pro races, but did a season or two of IMSA Kelly Challenge in the mid 1980s. A big fellow, he was very easy to spot at the track. Had a great voice and his civilian career was as a radio announcer. Very friendly and approachable. Spent many years as an official in the SCCA and the Midwest Council of Sports Car Clubs. One of the designers of Blackhawk Farms.

Sad news about both Warren and Jerry. As E1pix noted, I saw them compete many many times.
Posted 04 November 2014 - 18:30
Taken from the WWW here is an article about Jerry Dunbar published in the Beloit Daily News issue Wednesday, 23 July 1997 (author: Shawn Stapleton):
Auto racing legend Dunbar to join Hall of Fame
His walls bear shelf after shelf of trophies, awards, medals and pictures, all a testimonial to his lengthy and rewarding racing career.
But Jerry Dunbar doesn't accept praise easily.
In fact, Dunbar said he would much rather see other area racers receive the Stateline Area's highest sports honor rather than himself. On Thursday, Dunbar will be inducted, along with four other area sports figures, into the Beloit Historical Society's Sports Hall of Fame at the Lincoln Center.
Dunbar's accomplishments are almost too lengthy to mention. He became a world-champion sailboat racer at age 15. At age 17 he was crowned a Illinois state wrestling champ. Thirty years later he became a national race car champion. To date he has hundreds of racing wins to his credit.
Dunbar doesn't do anything half way.
Roger Jerome "Jerry" Dunbar was born Feb. 23, 1933 in Peoria, Ill., and from the time he was just a tot he took to the water with his father. He sailed Lake Michigan so often the currents, the breezes and the intricacies of the big pond became as familiar as an old friend.
That familiarity gave him the edge when, as a high school student in Wilmette, Ill., he and a friend entered the world sailing championships held at Wilmette Harbor. They and another team were the only local entries.
"There was no wind that day. It was a dead calm," he recalled, leaning back in his chair. "We knew where the breeze was, and we knew there was current down by the old canal inlet. That advantage gave us the win. No one else knew that part of the lake like we did, and we used it."
He didn't stop there, although if he could have lived on a boat he would have.
In high school, Dunbar used his size on the wrestling mat and was crowned Illinois State Heavyweight Champion in 1950.
"Those two things aren't really what I'm most proud of, though," he explained, leaning up against the blue trailer that hauls his car from track to track. "This is what I'm most proud of. We've done some pretty great things in racing."
Dunbar has always loved cars and loved competition. Racing cars was a natural fit.
He's never had the lavish entourage that some other racers sport. When it comes to tweaking and tuning, with the exception of the engine or transmission, it's all Dunbar.
His preference for road racing is simple: its versatility.
"Oval racing is very technical driving, but not too many champions of oval racing can complete in road racing. It's just a different type of driving," he said.
And Dunbar is considered one of the best. In 1980, at the age of 47, Dunbar took home the checkered flag at Road Atlanta to become a national champion race car driver, but he was idolized by racing fans long before that.
That's because, while the races may not have been for a national title, Dunbar has been a frontrunner in all of them. He's got a pile of checkered flags huddled in a basement corner to prove it. He's got more than 1,000 starts under his belt. He has raced more miles at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., than any other driver in the track's history. He's won more than 200 individual races _ on every track he's raced _ and has accumulated more points than any other driver in his class. He placed in the top three in the National GT-1 standings for 11 consecutive years.
He turned pro in 1984, a status he voluntarily ended five years later.
Dunbar knows driving.
He still races six or seven times a year all across the country. He says his thinking is a little different today than it was 10 or 12 years ago, when he was such a fierce competitor he was barely accepting the trophy for one race before looking ahead to the next.
"I was racing not too long ago when I hit the turn and was thinking about where my wife and I were going to eat that night," he said, a smile crossing his face. "That's when I said, 'You've got to concentrate.' That's when it can get dangerous."

Popular German racer Helmut Bross died suddenly last Sunday.
It ain't the years in our life that count but the life in our years does.
You are only dead when you are forgotten.
Posted 28 January 2015 - 16:00
Someone who I thought was long gone passed away only recently at the grand old age of nearly 104 years.
One of the rare centenarians in motor racing: Tom (= Thomas John) Clarke, b. 23 January 1911, d. 18 January 2015.
He was known as a member of the British 500 scene in the early 1950s.
According to this obituary he was a sports car racer in the 1930s but I think the BRDC got him mixed up with Tommy (= Thomas Graves) Clarke (1911 – 1969).

Chinese Teacher Training Workshops
In order to help local Chinese language teachers improve their professional skills in teaching Chinese language and culture, the Confucius Institute at UT Dallas offers Chinese Teacher Training Workshops during the regular school term or summer. The workshops focus on the development of Chinese language teaching proficiencies and cross-cultural communication competencies. The former emphasizes basic teaching skills, including teaching pedagogies, analysis of teaching materials and proven models for teaching Chinese lexicon, grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing. The latter emphasizes improvement of teachers' comprehensive understanding of intercultural communications, including theories of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, and interpreting/transmitting traditional Chinese cultural values within a global context.
Prestigious experts in language learning and teaching are invited as trainers of the workshops, which ensure that every participant receives the "best of the best" instructions. Those who complete the workshops will receive certificates issued by the Confucius Institute Headquarters and the School of Arts & Humanities of the University of Texas at Dallas.

Happy Homemaker Monday - 02/03/2014
Oh goodness, it's February already? I'm afraid this year is going to zip by just as fast as the previous ones.
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend and are ready for the work and school week ahead. Let's get on with our Happy Homemaker Monday.....by the way, I haven't forgotten that I'm wanting to change the graphic, just haven't had a chance to do it yet, but hoping it will be soon :)
As I look outside my window:::
30 degrees and it's snowing. Really enjoyed the sunshine the past two days but I guess we're back to more bitter cold and white snowy stuff. Have snow the rest of the week too so it should be quite a cold week.
Right now I am:::
Typing up this post with a nice hot cup of coffee. I'm also watching the snow flakes outside the window.
Thinking and pondering:::
On our tax return. Got everything turned in, am already waiting on the refund to come back and making a list of where that money is going. We always use it to pay off debt and to put a little emergency money into our savings.
On my bedside table:::
Playing St. Barbara, a book for a review.
On my Kindle I'm reading Love by the Letter by Melissa Jagears.
On my tv tonight:::
We finished Heroes and I wanted to cry. I loved that show so much, it's sad that it got cancelled. We've started Alphas but we're not really enjoying it as much, so not sure what we'll be watching.
I have Call the Midwife and The Musketeers to catch up on today.
Listening to:::
Mix 106 Radio
On the menu for this week:::
Monday - Zuppa Toscana, Homemade Olive Garden Bread sticks
Tuesday - Roast Chicken, Roast Potatoes and Broccoli
Wednesday - Beef Stew, Homemade Dinner rolls
Thursday - Cheesy Chicken Fettucine
Friday - Chili Dogs
Saturday - Burgers, fries
Sunday - Crab Rangoon, Chinese Fried Rice
On my to do list:::
Laundry, Iron, put away
Walmart - Turtle food
Lucky Leaf Review
Plans for this week:::
Monday - Taking kids to Tae Kwon Do (depending on weather conditions)
Tuesday - Sewing (work a little more on my second quilt)
Wednesday - Clean carpets
Thursday - Baking day
Friday - Lucky Leaf Review on food blog, book review on this blog
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Working on my Crochet Mood Blanket.
Have a quilt I started back in Arizona, but had to put it aside during the move, now I am really wanting to get back to it and finish it.
My simple pleasure:::
Reading old homemaking books
Lesson learned the past week:::
That what we're going through right now is not MY lesson to be learned but my husband's. It's not easy when these guys transition from a military career to civilian life. We had been warned and talked to about the process and how easy it is for them to slip into depression. My husband is having a very difficult time right now, all while juggling full time college classes and looking for a job. It's hard not to grab things and take control of them, but this is HIS battle and there is nothing I can do for him aside from prayer and hugs and support. Not easy though, you don't ever want to see your husband suffering.
Looking around the house:::
The living room needs a little tidying up. The kitchen as well, I have to put away the clean dishes from last night and wash the breakfast ones.
From the camera:::
Went to the Idaho Stampede vs Los Angeles D-Fenders game. SO much fun.
My husband, really need God to place his Hand on him and get him through these next few months.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 59:16 NIV
PLEASE, don't add links to this list that are not part of the Happy Homemaker Monday. I've asked numerous times, and I'm frankly quite tired of having to remove links to other posts that shouldn't be in this list. Please be respectful of my request!

sounds like you are up to some of the same things as me (taxes, namely! LOL) ...ReplyDelete
your dinner for tonight sounds great - I miss Olive Garden (we have one nearby but can't really afford it right now).
Continued prayers for your hubby. This time too shall pass ... but until it does, keep praying and supporting as best you can. God will take care of the rest - He is working on your behalf!! Even if it is unseen.
Sandra, Do you have a list of some of the homemaking books on your site,if not would you share a few titles.ReplyDelete
You and your hubby are in my prayers .
Sandra, I will be praying for your sweet hubby, it must be so hard. God is good and faithful, as you already know, and He has something just perfect for him. xoReplyDelete
You and your family are definitely in my prayers. Hang in there. God has a plan.ReplyDelete
A busy week for you Sandra, I don't know how you fit everything in on top of homeschooling - you are amazing!ReplyDelete
Hope your husband soon finds his way - it must be such a hard transition for him, but he is so lucky to have you there supporting him.
Gill xx
Will keep your husband in my prayers. My husband may also be out of a job in a few months, so I totally know what you are going through. God bless you and your family. Thanks for doing this link-up each week. Have a good one!
I am so sorry about your husband. We have been in the situation where hubby needed to reinvent himself and it is so difficult. Your family will be in our prayers. As my father-in-law used to say, "this too shall pass". Not always comforting when you're in the middle of the storm but true nonetheless.ReplyDelete
Have a blessed week.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Please be respectful of each other and my blog. Rude comments will be deleted.
Thank you for stopping by, hope you are having a Blessed day!

There is a lot of buzz surrounding cryptocurrency bitcoin and its underlying component the blockchain, boasted as being a revolutionary technology in money. The now popular bitcoin was the first coin introduced in 2009 which started at a value of less than one US dollar and since has risen to an astronomical value of over US $2,500 as of this writing. It is important to note that you are not required to buy bitcoins as a whole, bitcoin can be purchased in any fractional quantity. You can buy a half, a quarter or even 1 thousandth of a bitcoin.
With all this appreciation since Bitcoin's inception, a lot of attention has been drawn to the new cryptocurrency market space. With bitcoin enjoying the spotlight as the frontrunner coin, there is a new coin on the horizon called "Ethereum" which is predicted to possibility surpass bitcoin in value. Sporting an array of new technologies that promises to solve issues with bitcoin, Ethereum also extends the underlying technology behind bitcoin, the blockchain to now offer a platform for developers to build what are called web 3.0 applications(smart contracts, decentralized apps, or DApps, the types of apps that run on the Ethereum blockchain platform) giving intrinsic value to Ethereum.
Since the success of bitcoin as a cryptocurrency, many cryptocurrencies have since came on the market using or improving on the blockchain technology. Alternate coins(alt coin) to bitcoin includes; Ethereum which opens up the blockchain to allows apps to run on it, Litecoin which is referred to as being silver if bitcoin is gold, and "ANTshare" now called "NEO" which is referred to as the Chinese version of Ethereum. Along with these three notably mentioned coins there are tons more in the cryto marketspace, see www.coinmarketcap.com for a list of these other coins.
First one might ask where can I buy these coins, the answer to that would be at an "exchange". An exchange is a place where you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Some exchanges include www.coinbase.com, www.bittrex.com, bitstamp.net, poloniex.com, kraken.com and gemini.com. As exchanges are used to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, "Wallets" are used to store your digital currencies in a safe place.
You can have a wallet for every different type of digital currency you have. Associated with every wallet are two wallet ids, one for sending and one for depositing funds to and from that wallet. A wallet can be in several forms, a web wallet, soft, hard or physical(actually writing your ids on paper) wallet. All exchanges will have a wallet for the currency type you hold with them on the exchange. As a word of caution, many crypto pros recommend transferring your coins to your personal wallets since the exchanges are centralized and are susceptible to technical failures and malicious attacks. A quick search on the internet can show you available options for setting up your own personal wallets.
Crypto currencies are gaining more traction and attracting mainstream investors and financial experts. With all this new attention to the cryptocurrency market comes the opportunity to capitalize on this lucrative opportunity. There are several different ways that you can make money within the crypto market space.
One way to make money within the crypto market space is through "mining". Mining is pretty much setting up your computer to work for you processing bitcoin transactions and earn these coins as a commission in the process. This is made possible under a protocol in cryptocurrency called "proof of work". Imagine setting up your computer to work and earn 1 bitcoin that is worth approximately US $2,500.
When bitcoin started out you could mine bitcoin with just a simple laptop laying around your house, now that has changed. The difficulty level that is associated with cryptocurrency processing is programmed into the system to increase exponentially over time thus rendering otherwise useful equipment incapable of mining as much coins in the future. Mining equipment progressively got outdated, started from CPUs, then GPUs(mining with graphics cards), now most mining is done with expensive application specific interfaces(ASICs). It is important to note though, some coins are still worth mining without too large of an investment. There are several companies that offers alternatives to setting up your own mining hardware, two of these companies are www.genesis-mining.com and coinomia.com
With the high rates of appreciation with cryptocurrencies these digital coins are viewed as a store of value and a lot of investors are flocking to the crypto market to get a return on their money. One year ago July 1, 2016 one bitcoin was worth US $683.85, now one year later today the same bitcoin is worth approximately US $2,500 with a high peak of US $2,900 on June 10th, 2017. Similarly alt coin Ethereum that is expected to surpass bitcoin in value, in the same year ago was worth US $12.18 and now is worth US $267.61 with a high peak of US $380.28 on June 13th, 2017.
As with anything that goes up, it can also go down. Bitcoin and Ethereum has risen to a substantial amount of dollars, alternately you can buy lower priced coins, even coins that cost pennies or even less than a penny. You can buy and hold these coins for the long term(a year or more) or for the short term(like within a couple months). Before making any investment in cryptocurrencies, always arm yourself with information about the stability and the idea and concept behind a coin before you take any investment action in that coin. It is also important to note where and who you are getting your information from as the crypto market space is not regulated, do not get caught in a pump and dump trap.
Another aspect of making money in the crypto market space is by trading, referred to as day trading in the stock market. With the high volatility that Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins are experiencing brings an opportunity to buy and sell coins in the same day or two and make a profit. Here again we see that having a lot of information about the coins will allow you to make the best decisions and maximize your profit margins. If you are coming from an investing and financial background this will be a plus as you can use charting and statistical tools to gain an insight on the coins to buy, optimal times when to buy and the best times to sell in order to secure a profit. Keep in mind that based on your location your profits could be subject to taxation.
In the stock market there is initial public offering where a company offers its share to be traded on the public stock exchange. The same is offered in the crypto market space with initial coin offerings(ICOs). The purpose of these new coins are often to solve unique problems another cryptocurrency fell short on or another purpose is just for companies and individual to raise funds for their companies or fund a new idea. Whatever the purpose is, again, arm yourself with as much information as you can before making an investment as new coins are coming on the market ever so often.
If you offer any kind of valuable content to the internet or on any social media platform you can solicit donations to any of your digital currency wallets to build up your cryptocurrencies. If your audience finds your content useful and valuable enough they just might reward you with sending you a portion of a bitcoin or even an Ethereum coin.
Additionally, along with soliciting donations, several sites like Coinbase and Genesis Mining gives you the ability to refer your friends and people you know and for that they will reward both you the new customer with digital currencies. All you have to do is place your referral links and codes on your site and your social media posts and encourage your audience to use your links to sign up for the referred product or service. In the event you are already selling goods or services on the internet, you can build up your cryptocurrency holding by start accepting digital currencies as a form of payment on your site.


text: There are six pillars that help build a good character in a student whether it's as a child or adult. These pillars we should follow are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. These pillars are important when heading into college and adulthood. For example having responsibility is important because if you are responsible and get all assignments done it will help you succeed in college and keep your grades up and make you competitive for the workforce. Respect is another important aspect for college and beyond because if you respect your fellow piers and faculty you will earn respect in return and will have a great enjoyable learning environment. Being trustworthy is another important tool to have when in college because we have to learn to trust our piers and get help from others because we cant always do everything on our own. So the six pillars of character are essential in the college environment and beyond because they help build good character and make you a better student.

Hey, green spender: Methods
This is part of our exclusive investigation into the gulf between consumer perceptions of corporate eco-credentials and the reality. We teamed up with two companies that have collected the most relevant data. Earthsense, based in Syracuse, New York, has polled US consumers on their perceptions of the "greenness" of various companies. Trucost, headquartered in London, has compiled an unparalleled quantitative assessment of companies' global environmental impact.
Our partners
When New Scientist decided to investigate the relationship between corporate green performance and reputations, Earthsense and Trucost were the obvious partners.
Earthsense has created the largest US market-research database of consumer attitudes and behaviours towards the environment and sustainability, while Trucost has compiled a comprehensive quantitative assessment of companies' global environmental impacts.
Earthsense scores
In May 2008, Earthsense conducted the second wave of its Eco-Insights survey with a nationally representative sample of 30,000 US adults. As part of this online survey, individual respondents were asked about a randomly-assigned sample of up to 20 from a total of some 350 companies.
Participants were first asked if they were familiar with each firm, if necessary being prompted with some examples of its brands.
Only if they were familiar with a company were survey participants asked to rate the firm's environmental credentials. This gave an average of 1648 respondents per company included in New Scientist's analysis, which drew on the answers to two questions:
1) Sustainable business practices allow companies to "make green by going green," by taking the environment into account in how they run their business. For example: using renewable energy in manufacturing, recycling raw materials, reducing packaging, etc.
When thinking about these companies, how much do you think sustainability is an important part of how they do business? Please rate them on a scale of "1" to "10" where a "1" means you think they don't consider the environment in any meaningful way in their business, and a "10" means you think the environment is a core part of their business approach.
2) Products have different impacts on the environment – how they are made, what they're made from, and how they are packaged and distributed. Thinking about these companies' products, what DIRECT IMPACT on the environment do you think the main products they make or distribute have? Please rate them on a scale of "1" to "10": a "1" means you think the company's products are having a very negative impact on the environment, and a "10" means they don't damage or even have a positive impact on the environment.
For our analysis, we combined the scores from both questions into a single average for each company.
Trucost scores
Trucost's assessment of corporate environmental performance accounts for more than 700 different environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and a wide range of chemical releases. Its analysts use models based on all of a company's activities, and the materials and processes involved, incorporating official sources of data such as the US Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Release Inventory, and companies' own environmental data when these are disclosed. Trucost also works with firms to refine the results, to ensure as accurate a profile of their impacts as possible.
Trucost then converts each impact into an annual dollar cost. In the case of a firm running a fleet of diesel vehicles in its distribution chain, for example, these costs could include the burden of treating people with lung disease caused by emitted soot particles, plus the price of greenhouse gas emissions on a carbon-trading market. To assign these costs, Trucost relies on a library of prices derived from the latest academic research, updated with the help of an international advisory panel of leading environmental economists.
Finally, Trucost divides the cost of all the impacts by the company's annual revenue to produce an overall environmental impact ratio, expressed as a percentage. For extremely polluting companies, such as those running coal-fired power plants, these ratios can exceed 100 per cent. The ratios for companies in New Scientist's analysis ranged between 0.47 per cent and 52.60 per cent.
Each company's supply chain is included in Trucost's analysis – so that a restaurant chain's score, for instance, incorporates the environmental cost of producing and distributing the food and beverages sold.
However, Trucost's scores do not include impacts after the sale of a company's products or services. In many cases, these post-sale impacts will represent only a small proportion of a firm's total environmental footprint. But for our analysis, it risked skewing the results for oil companies and vehicle manufacturers, where consumer perceptions are likely to be dominated by burning the fuel, or running the cars – measures that Trucost does not include. For this reason, we analysed oil and car companies separately.
More details on Trucost's methods are available on their website (PDF).
Selection of companies
To define our sample of companies for analysis, we started with the entire list of companies in the Earthsense survey and looked for matches in Trucost's database. This narrowed down the sample considerably, as most privately-held companies, and those that are subsidiaries of larger corporations, are not assessed by Trucost.
We also removed a small number of companies for which we were concerned that the brands described in the Earthsense survey may not have given a representative illustration of those produced by the matching company in the Trucost database, and which a typical consumer might encounter.
This gave a total of 143 companies, 28 of which were oil producers or vehicle manufacturers. The sample in our main analysis, therefore, contained 115 firms.
Wherever possible, we used Trucost data for 2008. However, for nine companies (Anheuser-Busch, Borders, Dollar General, Ford, Jones Apparel, Liz Claiborne, Lukoil, Panera Bread Company and Timberland) the 2008 data were either not available, or did not reflect the entity that existed when the Earthsense survey was conducted due to mergers, acquisitions or divestments. In these cases, we used Trucost data from 2007.
To assign companies to business sectors, we used their "Super Sector" listings in the Industry Classification Benchmark system run by Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE, established as a global standard for grouping companies with similar activities.
A document containing the data used for our analysis is available for download.
Statistical analysis
To examine the relationship between Earthsense and Trucost scores, overall and within business sectors, we used Spearman's rank correlation.
There was no significant correlation across our main sample of 115 companies. However, there was a correlation across the 28 Oil & Cars and Automotive & Parts companies, significant at P < 0.05. Within individual business sectors, the only significant correlations were for Technology and for Oil & Gas companies, both at P < 0.05.
To examine differences in both Trucost and Earthsense scores across the business sectors in our main sample, we used Kruskal Wallis tests. These revealed no differences between sectors for the Earthsense scores, but a highly significant result for the Trucost scores.
Subsequent multiple comparisons revealed that Trucost scores for Food & Beverage firms differed from those for Personal & Household Goods companies at P < 0.05, and from those for firms in the Media, Retail and Technology sectors at P < 0.001.
We also compared Earthsense and Trucost scores between the Oil & Gas and Automotive & Parts sectors using Wilcoxon rank sum tests. These revealed differences for both Earthsense and Trucost scores, significant at P < 0.001.
All analyses were done in R, the open-source software environment for statistical computing.
David Lobell of Stanford University in California, who specialises in the analysis of environmental and socioeconomic data, advised on the overall statistical approach, while Patrick Giraudoux of the Université de Franche-Comté in Besançon, France, advised on multiple comparisons after a significant Kruskal Wallis result.

Happy Hump Day! How's your week treating you? My head, which most often prefers to be in clouds, is spinning prepping for Modernism Week and some very exciting collaborations, so I'm taking a minute to meditate on these pictures from our trip to the high desert a few weekends ago.
Because when things seems a little chaotic…
And you can't tell up from down…
A high desert escape to the middle of nowhere is just what the doctor ordered.
And if you need a place to stay while holing up in the high desert…
May I suggest my favorite
secret modern homes that you can rent:
Homestead Modern + Rock Reach House
Enjoy and deep breaths…
What I'm Wearing:
Bonmot dress (love the print and fit; more easy-to-wear dresses below) c/o | Feiyue shoes | Similar sunglasses | Yellow stool

You sure have lots of projects lined up! I love the Sewing Room and will have to check it out.ReplyDelete
That is a long list. Just Takes 2 looks fantastic when it is all together so keep on with it. I'm going to check out the Sisters 10 BOM... I shouldn't but I'm going to!ReplyDelete
That's a pretty good list! I might be able to match it if I would dig around in my quilting closet a while. I have quite a few things going and just signed up for a BOM of hand appliquéd tiny baskets (12 per month). What was I thinking! I need to make a priority list.ReplyDelete
Wow Leslie that should keep you busy for the next couple of months!!ReplyDelete

Allison Earnst
I first met this lovely lady some years ago in a rather humorous way.
Bob and I were north of Miami, shooting a fitness and wellness segment, when it came to our attention that we needed an Eat Clean Ambassador for the shoot. Allison had just finished driving all the way up from Miami.
Since then we have had plenty of adventures from appearing on Good Morning American to Extra. We have examined the contents of each other's purses, sweated together, laughed and cried. Allison brings her genuine self to the wellness journey every day. Shine your beautiful soul on us girl.
Thank you for you. xo
Allison now lives in upstate New York.

Kate Middleton who?!@!
First Lady Michelle Obama shut it down at the State Dinner hosted by the Queen herself in the almighty Buckingham Palace. Wearing a floor length Tom Ford original, Mrs Obama flawlessly showed the Brits how we do it in America.
Pairing the dress with simple accessories (chandelier earrings, silver clutch and opera gloves to match) the First lady continued to impress her gracious hosts.
Earlier in the week she once again proved that style can be achieved at every comfort level and age! Never one to shy away from some color (though it may be a little 'Easter' – Shut Your Mouth!) she packed one of her favorite designers, Barbara Tfank. And decided to leave the pearls at home this time.
Don't we just love her? Whether styling a chignon, full bottom dress, kitten heels or studded belts she always looks effortlessly pulled together, chic and never cheap, regal yet oh so American.

10- Mercedes-Benz 413 Van 19 + 1
Investment is high, but if the driver able to fill the van, the return is guaranteed so the Mercedes Benz sprinter definitely is one of the best options. The Sprinter 413 19 + 1 takes, as the name says, 19 passengers, all with the seat belt. The diesel engine of 2.15 liters yields 129 horsepower. The 'bus' is also great, with 6.99 m long, 4.02 m and wheelbase for this sprinter van.
9- Ford Transit
The Transit is imported from Turkey, but has a good network …

Ever since it unveiled its Model 3 electric car back in March, California automaker Tesla Motors has been basking in the warm, fuzzy glow of knowing that it has more than 350,000 pre-order reservations secured for its mass-market, long-range electric sedan.
Combining its now legendary performance, high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack, advanced semi-autonomous safety features, supercharger compatibility and over-the-air software updates, Model 3 — which Tesla says will enter production in Q4 2017 and go on sale from $35,000 before incentives — looked to have sewn up the affordable long-range electric car market. Indeed, with a promised range of 215 miles per charge, Model 3 seemed to beat the upcoming Chevrolet Bolt EV on price, range, performance and charging capabilities. At least, it did when compared to the specifications and $37,500 target price GM CEO Mary Barra disclosed back in January at CES 2017.
But on Monday, the Detroit automaker fired a warning shot Tesla's way, announcing its 2017 Bolt EV had received an official EPA range of 238 miles per charge, enough to leap-frog Model 3 in the range race and make the Chevrolet Bolt EV the cheapest long-range electric car to go on sale to date. What's more, at a press briefing earlier this week GM North America President Alan Batey hinted that the Bolt EV could cost less than previously thought. And while GM stopped short of promising a particular sticker price, it is now stating the 2017 Bolt EV will have an "expected MSRP below $37,500 before available federal tax credit of up to $7,500".
Naturally, that statement could indicate an MSRP of $37,499, but given Tesla's plan to launch Model 3 with a starting price of $35,000 before incentives we think it's likely that GM will slash $2,500 off the Bolt EV's price to make it aggressively compete against Model 3.
GM is clearly going after Model 3 with the Chevy Bolt EV when it comes to range and price, but what about other features?
Those who have driven the Bolt already comment that it gives a very promising, spirited drive thanks to its 150 kilowatt electric motor. There's also user-adjustable regenerative braking on accelerator liftoff thanks to the single regeneration-on-demand paddle on the left-hand side of the steering wheel. Road handling and body roll is minimal thanks to its 60 kilowatt-hour battery pack being mounted low down in the chassis, and our friends at GreenCarReports (who were lucky enough to have a drive last week) note that "it looks considerably smaller than it actually is."
"Think of it as a tall wagon or (heaven forfend) a small minivan, and you'll get a sense of its interior volume," it notes.
In other words, it may have the Model 3 beat when it comes to practicality for everyday life thanks to its hatchback design and versatile load bay design. But as Tesla fans will note, the Model 3's Supercharging capabilities may give it the edge over the Bolt EV when it comes to long-distance travel — even if the Model 3 requires users to pay for Supercharging access. That said, CCS — the quick charging standard preferred by GM for the Bolt EV — is quickly gaining popularity thanks to the completion of east and west-coast corridors for major routes.
As for over-the-air updates? GM says the Bolt EV will get those too, knocking one more thing off the list of Model 3 features that may have put it above the Bolt EV in some consumers' minds.
Autopilot functionality may give the Model 3 an edge still in the mind of some consumers, along with the cachet of the Tesla brand. But with the Bolt EV due to launch in just a few weeks' time and GM more than capable of making as many cars as are demanded of it, Tesla is going to find itself a long way behind when it launches Model 3 next year — unless of course it can come up with a killer feature that we don't yet know about.
The biggest risk for Tesla right now? The fact that GM has an order of magnitude more cash on hand than Tesla — and should it choose, it could make things very difficult indeed for the California company.

Pune, Jan 11 (PTI) Student activists shouted slogans
against the use of 'Puneri pagadi', a traditional headgear
associated with the city, during the 114th convocation
ceremony of Savitribai Phule Pune University here Friday.Police detained at least five students following the
protest.Some student organisations had opposed the varsity's
decision to replace the cap-and-gown worn during convocation
with the traditional kurta-pyjama and Puneri pagadi.They allege that by introducing Puneri pagadi, the
varsity is toeing RSS' and Hindu right-wing's agenda.Some leaders have alleged that Puneri pagadi is mainly
associated with Brahmins.One of the students who was detained said the varsity
has first mandated kurta-pyjama and Puneri pagadi for all the
students attending the convocation."After we objected, they revoked the notification and
said only guests at the ceremony will wear Puneri pagadi. But
we had warned that if even guests were seen donning the
pagadi, a donkey wearing Puneri pagadi will be paraded on the
campus," said Akash Zambare Patil of the Nationalist Student
Congress, NCP's student wing."After seeing guests wearing Puneri pagadi, students
brought a donkey on the campus and put Puneri pagadi on its
head," he said.Asked why they were opposed to Puneri pagadi, Patil
said the varsity is named after social reformer Savitribai
Phule, who along with her husband Jyotirao Phule opened the
doors of education to the marginalised masses."Our demand was if you want to replace the convocation
cap, replace it with Phule pagadi (the kind of pagadi Jyotirao
Phule wore), otherwise continue with the old dress," he said.Senior police inspector Dayanand Dhome of
Chatushringi police station said five or six students were
detained for raising slogans. They were released later, he
added.A senior varsity official said Puneri pagadi was worn
only by the guests on the dais."The varsity decided to go ahead with kurta and pyjama
for students instead of the gown, however, the cap was not
replaced. Only guests wore Puneri pagadi," he said.

Since I'm currently visiting New Zealand and Australia, I thought I'd dedicate this week's Model Behavior to a sexy beast from this neck of the woods. Meet Ryan Cooper. According to some reports, he's Aussie and on other sites he's Kiwi. Regardless of where he's from, I thought he'd be the perfect choice to kick off my time here in Oceania. Plus he looks like the love child of Ryan Philippe and Jamie Dornan (Once Upon A Time). Who wouldn't love that concoction.
Born in 1987, Cooper rose to fame in 2008 when he was featured in a DKNY Jeans campaign. Since then he's appeared in numerous ads for popular brands including adidas, Armani Exchange and Overland Footwear. In his spare time, Cooper loves snowboarding, playing basketball, writing, enjoying nice restaurants and working out (and it shows). Check out this delicious man candy in plenty of shirtless pics below. Til next week.
Ryan Cooper Model Stats
Height: 6'1″
Waist: 32
Shoe: 10.5
Hair: brown
Eyes: hazel
He's sexy and he knows it.
I tip my hat to his hotness.
In between a rock and hard place 😉 Yes please.
Speaking of rock hard, how do you like them apples?
Gorgeous face and even more gorgeous tricep. SLURP.
Loving that grey trench on the left.
Most people don't look good from this angle. Not for my boy, Ryan. Looking good from every vantage point.
Which has more ripples? The body of water or Ryan's body?
Black or white?
Showing off a little man cleavage.
That pouty mouth is sure damn sexy.
A healthy serving of nips for all your nipple lovers.
I like green. I like adidas. I like Ryan Cooper. Win, win, and win.
Watcha looking at? VOGUE.
Doing a little striptease.
A little side oblique action.
Now that you've seen all of his pics, you can't deny he's a knockout.

Interview with Edward Hirsch
Poet and President of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Edward Hirsch, sits down with Big Think for a thirty-four minute in-depth video interview.
Big Think: What is your advice for an aspiring poet? (19min 00sec)
Edward Hirsch: The way to become a poet is to read poetry and to imitate what you read and to read passionately and widely and in as involved a way as you can. It's not important—it's not necessary that you read everything. What is necessary is that you care about things that you read and that you find something that really matters to you and you try and make something like that. And I think that as long as you have other poets before you and that you can learn from them, then it's always open ended for you. There's always some place to go. You don't need workshops, you don't need friends necessarily, you can be befriended by literature itself. Emily Dickinson calls previous poets her kinsmen of the shelf. You can always be consoled by your kinsmen of the shelf and you can participate in poetry by going to them and by trying to make something worthy of them. Gertrude Stein said, "I write for myself and strangers." I would say I write for myself, strangers and the great dead.

A scientist named Calhoun (1963) studied rats' behaviour closely in a semi-natural enclosed environment. He then discovered that most Norway rats would dig burrows and live in there the rest of the time. These underground burrows would comprise networks of tunnels each leading to specific compartments serving different purpose while other would lead through exits from the underground. Usually, the networks are complexly interconnected.
Burrows don't say the same for too long. Eventually they change through the constant activities of rats inside their burrow system. The activities by rats inside the tunnel would require the burrows to renovate according to the immediate needs of the rats in order to fully satiate the needs of their existence. Accessibility and convenience are among the primary factors to be considered in justifying the changes that take place inside the burrows. When burrows grow, they get deformed beyond repair as new tunnels and passages are created by their inhabitants. There will be certain areas and sections that will be left unattended and eventually cave in the future. However, the burrows would take a new face as an accommodation to the rats' present needs. We could even say that the structural system of the burrows has got something to do with the social relationship of rats that inhabit there. If ever comes a time that the social structure and relationship of rats would break down, the burrow will eventually fall into disarray and becomes irreparable.
Parts of the burrow
1. The entrance of a burrow is usually placed or located in areas that are sheltered or sloped. Can often be found sealed with grasses or piles of dirt.
2. The tunnels' median diameter would range from a width of 8.3 – 9 cm allowing only one rat to pass at a time. The straight tunnel segments which also serve as the rats' super highway, have a larger median diameter length of 29-30 cm. At the end of that length, the tunnel would either separate into two smaller passages or bend and ends with a cavity or a dead end.
3. The cavity are small sized areas and may differ from 18.3 x 22.1 cm, making it possible to accommodate a group of 6-7 rats at a time. This is where communal nesting would often take place especially in low density rat colony population. The smallest chamber areas could only accommodate 3-4 rats at a time and the largest on the other hand would reach as much 11 rats in a space. There are different usages to any chambers. They could either be:
a. Nesting area - would practically be consisting of a bedding and litter area for rats and its younglings to rest.
b. Resource cache - where food would be stored for future consumption.
4. The nest would most often be composed of shredded materials like grass or garbage and sometimes dirt. This area of the burrow would serve as the rats resting place. There are three different kinds of nest:
a. Pad - The simplest form of a rat nest and usually made of few trash objects like flat bond paper or leaves. This would elevate one rat from the floor.
b. Cup shaped nests - It is basically a larger sized nest taking a cup-like shape. It is usually consists of more shredded materials like paper or leaves, intermeshed to come up with a wall for the cup. The surfaces are then usually flat.
c. Hooded nest - One could practically say that this is the largest of all the nest types. They can be so high that they would virtually form a ceiling for the nest. The hollow spherical shape of the nest would become the dwelling place for rats, especially mother rats which happens to be the ones usually responsible for such nesting structures. However, such nests are quite rare.

Here is a brief look at our featured projects:
Total Wine
Project Cost: $36,000
Project Location: Raleigh, NC
We were able to give them a completely maintenance free custom trellis. Their trellis is made out of aluminum so that it passed all of the City of Raleigh fire codes. Since the trellis is not made from wood, Total Wine will not have to worry about painting this trellis every year.
Market At Colonnade
Project Cost: $26,000
Project Location: Raleigh, NC
We were able to provide street front retail fabric awnings designed to fit commercial builders needs. Custom colors were used, as well as custom made black and white stripes. Frames and mounting hardware were finished with a durable powder coat to match color theme. Also, since the mounting surfaces included different planes, the frames were custom built to match the building surface.

Dealing with a lost love can be hard thing to process, especially if your lover was captured by reptilian aliens. Thankfully, that's not a kind of heartache most of us have to experience, but in the third episode of People of Earth, Richard gets some much-needed closure… eventually.
Searching for answers since her abduction, Richard was delivered a clue on what his wife Debbie has been up to.
With Ozzy's help, Richard agrees to go to "mediation" — an obvious trap by the reptilians.
But it quickly becomes clear that Debbie is just looking for a divorce on her own.
To which Richard appears to oblige, but…
