Energy News Digest for December 23, 2010

Whatever your holiday celebration includes, may this season give you peace, happiness and some tasty tidbits. And let’s hope that the New Year brings opportunity, surprise (the good kind), and opportunity. Best wishes from the elves at the energy news digest.

The news digest will be on a short sabbatical next week, but will return tanned, rested and relaxed on January 3. Be looking for the annual celebration of the “Words of the Day” shortly after the beginning of the New Year!

WORD OF THE DAY

Supererogation • \soop-err-air-uh-GAY-shun\ • Noun - The act of performing more than is required by duty, obligation, or need

“Barty, you have an exemplary talent…you’re supererogation is an inspiration to all the other employees here,” barked the supervisor to his cowering minion. “Great,” thought Barty, “Now I need to buy a dictionary to see if that was a compliment or not.”

WORD OF THE DAY

Numinous • \NOO-muh-nuss\ • Adjective - 1: supernatural, mysterious 2: filled with a sense of the presence of divinity: holy 3: appealing to the higher emotions or to the aesthetic sense: spiritual

Placide’s candle was starting to gutter, his puffy, tired eyes starting to dim in the early morning hours. He had been working hours to compose a poem he had entitled “Minuit, Chrétiens” at the exhortation of his local priest. “Oh numinous night has a nice ring to it, but there are too many syllables,” he moaned. His sleepless wife muttered “Holy night dear…just put it aside and move on.”

“O Holy Night” (“Cantique de Noël”) is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem “Minuit, Chrétiens” (Midnight, Christians) by Placide Cappeau (1808–1877), a wine merchant and poet, who had been asked by a parish priest to write a Christmas poem.
