Notebook our actor wrote in tonight on set with a friends pen and Ink. Thank you Chris for saving the day with your calligraphy pen and awesome ink bottle! :D
One of the most precious resources on Earth is water. Being eco-conscious about it and reducing the waste of water is a mission that every single person should be on. It is one of the first things to consider since it is easy and doesn’t even necessarily disrupt your day-to-day activities. Adopting certain tips can make it possible for you to conserve water as part of a more eco-conscious behaviour. Turn off the tap when possible, Better shower practice, Use real plates and napkins, Invest in fixing any leaks and Water plants in the afternoon are water-saving tips work well and you should adopt as much of them as possible.

My trip south is not a holiday, and comes with a sad ending, time to save some memories.

My grandpa wanted me to take some of my late grandma's things. I am going to celebrate her memory by using them and not pack them away to rot.
Greenpeace campaigners in London joined forces with a samba band outside the Brazilian Embassy to save the Amazon rainforest. They hoisted a banner saying Save the Amazon and the band played for the embassy staff. The activists were part of a worldwide effort which saw similar activities take place around the world, including Paris, Rome, Berlin, Mexico City and Washington DC. These global activities are aimed to remind Brazils President Dilma Rousseff that almost 80 per cent of Brazilians want the Amazon protected.
Back in 2008 or so, when gasoline was $4 per gallon, our fair town invested $9,000 in a "GEM e2".
The Chrysler made electric car was recommended by our then chief of police, who hoped to patrol the town simultaneously fighting crime and and saving on gas. Sadly, today, barely able to travel a quarter mile on a full charge, it is destined for the scrap heap unless someone can come up with $1600 to replace the six 12-volt batteries for the now road-weary buggy.
(Heads up, Leaf and Volt owners!)
According to a story in yesterday's Texarkana Gazette it wasn't long before the vehicle with a 25 mph top end and a 35 mile range was deemed ill suited to fighting crime and catching speeders (our main crime) and was donated to the water department for use in reading water meters. Allegedly workers could read meters without leaving the driver's seat. (Not mine. It's several feet from the road and two feet below grade in a meter well.)
Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that in April of 2009, The GEM did earn some of its keep when it was called in to assist in the apprehension of a local bull who was terrorizing the south side of town, namely my yard.
As seen here, the bull rendered some assistance to the GEM . The entire story is here in my rarely maintained blog.
Perhaps I should attend Monday night's city council meeting and suggest that, rather than spend the money on batteries or scrapping the little beauty, the town should purchase a bull along with a yoke and harness to give new life to the hapless GEM.
Surely good bulls can be had for less than $1600 and they certainly have a trade-in value!
----------------------------------------------
Why fall for the GM (Gumment Motors) bull when you could actually use the real thing!
----------------------------------------------
Update: Monday, 12-5-11: An internet search reveals a full set of new batteries for the e2 can be had at Nextag Stores for a mere $514.50.
Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, and his wife funded this innovative green building on Stanford campus that will be the home of the Environmental Sciences Department. Here is the engineering behind it.
Dave, who works in the building across the street told me that Stanford has mandated that there will be no new buildings with air conditioning and no datacenters. Datacenters, which need serious cooling, will be elsewhere with one in Livermore. We were having a picnic lunch at our on campus picnic spot and were both Xootring this way afterwards. It's cute when two are xootering together in conversation. A picnic saves Dave having to drive to meet me in town which is what we used to do when we lunched together at restaurants.

Happy new year to all flickeranians! Lucky enough to have warmer temps and snow so thought about detail as a theme, so went out with the F3 and MicroNikkor to look closely. Hope everyone had a safe holiday, and thanks again for a great year and looking forward to the one ahead!
Nearly 7 billion souls living today around the globe will spend somewhere in eternity. What are you doing to bring them to Jesus Christ?
We rang up separately the things for which we didn't have coupons, still sticking mostly to items that were on store sale. Last year, I'd have considered a 25% grocery savings to be pretty good. No more!
so i was driving around looking for a feature. (starting to sound familiar, huh?) anyways, i couldn't really find anything. the area they needed it from is rural and it was a weekday.
so as i was driving back around 4, feeling defeated, the light was nice and i passed this field freckled with these backlit, glowing dandelions. i sped past thinking, self, make a note that these flowers look pretty at this hour. then i thought, hold up, who calls themselves self? right. me. then i decided to make a 3-pointer in a driveway, park, and lay on the ground amongst the flowers with my 200mm. i'm a total dork. i'm sure all the people in the cars speeding past agreed.
AND i forgot to make a wish.
if i had, though, the list below might be a place to start:
Things I Took For Granted Before I Moved Here (aka rural NE North Carolina):
fruitcakes. kudzu. kelton.
target. water pressure. 3 meals/day. bank of america. free time. thai restaurants. my own bath tub. people with a full set of teeth. shows. indie movie theaters. 24-hour-diners.
still... i could get used to this.
all except living without the top 3.
(editor's note: although, i don't really have anything against spiced cakes and devouring vines, fruitcakes and kudzu are nicknames. my BFF and my cat, respectively)
