late night drunk food after canopy shows? i’m in!

I guess I could say it was a good day

This is so what I’ve been waiting for.

This is an historical occasion! Congrats to Merry Ann’s!!

Yes.  Yes, the cinema just got more interesting.

Oh great, now “Seasons Change” is stuck in my head.

The University could meet ~80% of the peak steam load with natural gas right now, most of the time, the coal systems are unnecessary. They would have to do enough energy conservation to get the peak load low enough to use only the gas systems to meet…

Aww dag, I have to work.  I would have loved to see Suzy rock the mic!

Stuart, Here’s a breakdown of pounds of CO2 emitted per megawatt-hour generated:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_station#Carbon_dioxide It’s Wikipedia, so it’s only a starting point for delving deeper into the issue—but their numbers agree with what I’ve read at other sources and their writeup is very concise. Also, the plant manager…

Interesting.  But I’d like to know exactly what the carbon difference between coal and gas is.  Anyone know the combustion chemistry? It strikes me that the CO2/Btu shouldn’t be that different, but I don’t know.  Any leads appreciated. Coal of course has other problems besides carbon; mercury…

Keep us posted on the latter!

I received 1 st mortgage loans when I was not very old and that helped my business very much. But, I need the short term loan as well.

Nice article, Emily! When I get to the CU area, I’ll be sure to give this place a try.

The marathon is certainly a tough distance, but I imagine that it compares to childbirth. In any event, having completed the former, I will agree that it is an excruciating tastk. Should the opportunity arise, I will let you know how the latter compares.

I’ve always suspected that there’s a direct correlation between projected land use for the Rt 150 corridor [Industrial / Commercial] and the drive to expand 74. See the CCRPC Future Land Use Map for details, and then take a look at who owns land there, and you…

Zelini, I really like this - I’ll try to follow the theory more closely. As they reveal more about Kate (possibly next week), it might give us more perspective.  I agree with your observation about Ben and I think Michael Emerson has done an excellent job conveying his lesser stature.

Surprised you think it will take two wins. I think we have a shot to get in with another loss.  The bubble is just a disaster this year, and we’ll float to the top even with one win.

What if the sideways alternatives are where Jacob actually grants them their wishes, but in ways they didn’t quite expect?  The elimination of one regret. Sayid gets to be with Nadia - although through his brother.  Maybe he ends up with her at the expense of his…

This also explains why I was starting to think Roses & Sake was a group of strange pagans from Vancouver.  This is when it pays to be a local.  My apologies to the true Roses & Sake, we’ll fix this ASAP!

Annie Weisner avatar

Ahh, shame on me.  I grabbed it directly off of Mike ‘N Molly’s website.  I’ll see if I can’t get it corrected on here (and maybe pass along the word to them as well).  Thank you, observant reader!

I’m with Brigham regarding the Acrylics set. Very XX-ish. Very good.

Amen.  When I told people I’ve lost 18 pounds since early October the number one response I get from women is concern.  18 pounds in four months is not unhealthy, quite the opposite for me.  But don’t give up on sugar, or become a vegan, or do…

The whole self-acceptance idea is tricky in itself too. Are we supposed to self-accept by sitting around like bumps on logs, doing nothing but just appreciating and accepting ourselves? Life doesn’t happen like that. I like your point about pushing ourselves to do something greater. Self-challenge and self-reflection…

lindsey - i certainly understand where you are coming from on that one.   and i just wanted to state for the record that in no way did i mean to imply that i am not a feminist (or a liberal) just that i find that whole…
