How badly do we need the green?

 

It has been a long winter and our discontent has been made manifest.

We need sunshine and flowers and warm breezes and black earth to turn. We need fresh morning air and dawns that make us set the clock for 4 am. April does that.

 

She can be cruel, as has been noted elsewhere, but she does have that one saving grace.

She promises May.

April 15. Surprise!

Daniels Energy Special Customer Savings News

“When you ask people what they think a fair tax code looks like, almost nobody says we should have the richest pay the least. And yet when we look around the country, the vast majority of states have tax systems that do just that.

 

Nationally, the average state levies an effective state and local tax rate of

 

11.3 percent for its lowest-income 20 percent of residents;

10.5 percent for the middle 20 percent;

7.2 percent for the top 1 percent

 

This means the top 1 percent are contributing 37 percent less of their incomes toward funding state and local services in their states than the poorest families.

States such as Florida, Tennessee, and Texas are often described as “low tax” due to their lack of personal income taxes. While this characterization holds true for high-income families, these states levy some of the nation’s highest tax rates on the poor.

 

This is indicative of a broader pattern. Nationally, we find evidence that states with lower taxes for their highest-income earners tend to have higher taxes for their lowest-income residents.



“And yet when we look around the country, the vast majority of states have tax systems that do just that. There’s an alarming gap here between what the public wants and what state lawmakers have delivered.” The long read is at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy

Daniels Energy Announces Major Scientific Breakthrough.

Could Significantly Reduce

Global Warming.

John Daniels, the fourth generation of the Daniels family, today announced a major technological breakthrough in methane recapture and refinement. 


John, an English major in college, began tinkering with the idea of transforming the methane gases emitted by the cattle on a local Hebron farm. “You could barely drive by the place without catching a whiff,” he said.


“Then, well, it came to me in a flash, to be honest,” he said, “I simply reversed the plastic cone that we use to keep our dogs from biting themselves, attached a single XL Stanley stainless steel water bottle and by attaching it to the rear of each cow, presto, a rudimentary methane collection system was born.”

However, that only solved half of the problem. Converting the collected methane required truly out of the box thinking.


“A week later, we’d just finished a big meal and I had a bit of agita. (upset stomach). Naturally, I reached for the Brioschi and that’s when I knew that filtering the methane through the bi-carbonate of soda would allow us to refine the product so that it could be used as flawlessly as we use Daniels Propane today. Kinda surprised no one else thought of it,” he said with a smile.


"I want to clear the air, " said President David Daniels. "This is a true bovine breakthrough," he added with a wink.


Representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency, State and local officials viewed a brief 13 minute video which they applauded and then all voted to keep the idea under wraps until after the election.

Chart: Day of the year with peak cherry tree blossom in Kyoto Japan

The vertical axis shows the date of peak blossom, expressed as the number of days since January 1st. The timing of the peak cherry blossom is influenced by spring temperatures. Higher temperatures due to climate change have caused the peak blossom to gradually move earlier in the year since the 20th century.

This is a revolting development.

El Cid. We Hardly Knew You.

Daniels Energy Special Customer Savings News

Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (c. 1043 –1099) was a Castilian knight and ruler in medieval Spain.


Born in Vivar, also known as Castillona de Bivar, six miles north of Burgos, the capital of Castile.


His father, Diego Laínez, was a courtier, bureaucrat, and cavalryman who had fought in several battles. El Cid's mother's family was aristocratic however, peasants would consider him one of their own.

Fighting with both Christian and Muslim armies during his lifetime, he earned the Arabic honorific as-Sayyid ("the Lord" or "the Master"), which would evolve into El Çid and the Spanish honorific El Campeador ("the Champion").


As the head of his loyal knights, he came to dominate the Levante of the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 11th century. He reclaimed the Taifa of Valencia from Muslim control for a brief period during the Reconquista, ruling the principality as its lord from 1094 to 1099.


His wife, Jimena Díaz, inherited the city and maintained it until 1102 when it was reconquered by the Moors. After his death, El Cid became Spain's celebrated national hero and the protagonist of the most significant medieval Spanish epic poem, El Cantar de mio Cid, which presents him as the ideal medieval knight: strong, valiant, loyal, just, and pious.


To this day, El Cid remains a popular Spanish folk hero and national icon, with his life and deeds remembered in popular culture.


Everyone's Running Around

Maybe it’s just us, but people are running through the streets. So we thought we might help them choose a good running shoe.


Choosing a definitive “best” pair of running shoes is an impossible task.

The right shoe for you depends on a variety of factors, including the size and shape of your feet, how often you run, and your training goals.


To help you find your go-to shoe for everyday running, we’ve (the people who wrote this) tapped a variety of experts, researched hundreds of shoes, and run more than 4,000 miles over the course of five years.


To help inspire your search, below we list three shoes that rose to the top in our testing.



They include the Brooks Ghost 15, a go-to cushioned neutral trainer - the Saucony Guide 16 a flexible stability shoe; and the Altra Escalante 3 a sneaker with a low heel-to toe-drop.


Brooks Ghost 15 - for men and women $140

Daniels Energy Special Customer Savings News

Across our years of testing running shoes, the Brooks Ghost continues to stand out for its comfort and versatility. The stretch upper on the Ghost 15 is forgiving and the shoes feel “broken in” right out of the box. In our testing, the Ghost 15 has held sturdy in a variety of conditions—in rain, on tracks, and even on trail terrains.



Saucony Guide 16 for men and women – best running $85-105 from Zappos


Daniels Energy Special Customer Savings News

A stability shoe that requires less breaking in than the competition, the Saucony Guide 16 provides “an incredibly easy and smooth ride,” according to one tester.
