Thank goodness every time we plan a redesign or upgrade it happens on time and without a hitch. Glad nobody threw stones at us in early 2009. :-)

Excellent point… of course, we redesigned in the first year, and the N-G has had well, a decade or something…

Now, now, don’t make fun of the old and out-of-touch. It’s like laughing at your grandpa for not knowing how to work an iPod or something. Let’s let ‘em grow old with some grace and die with some dignity.

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…

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…

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!

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?
