You’ve heard of those who devour books? Well, the Edible Book Festival takes that saying a step further. The University Y hosts the festival tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31. Participants are asked to drop off entries between 8 and 10 a.m. with judging beginning at 10. The public viewing of tasty tomes begins at 11:30, and dessert is served at 12:45 p.m. If the mood strikes you tonight, it’s not too late to create a cake and drop it off in the morning.

Very sad I’ll have to miss this.  It sounds sexy as hell & I’ll look forward to the recap.

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…

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…

Zeleni, I had the exact same theory only with the mysterious Man in Black/Smokie granting the wishes. MIB promised Sayid he could have anything in the world he wanted, which turned out to be Nadia. Although he does not necessarily “have” her, she has not died yet…

Doug, I absolutely agree. I think this might have come across focused on rock because, as you say, rock was the 90s, and we had some innovative rock bands here then. But what I’m really trying to get at is that there’s no way Dirty Projectors, Liars…

John, I’m not sure that the current climate for indie rock stardom is all that favorable for bands who simply rock out. Most of the bands doing it well that are also popular have been around for a while and have a tested identity (I’m thinking Spoon…

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.

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.

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!

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!
