(Updated and reprinted from my other blog.)
I may not be very popular after writing this, but the truth is, I don't like grass. Let me rephrase that – I don't like the fact that almost every American suburban house comes with a lawn. I don't like that this is the default landscape of the suburbs, and I don't like that many neighborhood codes require people to keep up the lawn when there are greener (and arguably prettier) landscape possibilities.
Now don't get me wrong – having grown up in Southern California, I can't help but like a little grass. I like it in playgrounds, schools, and parks. But do I think we need to have so much grass? No way. And I certainly don't think grass is the only safe, neutral, child-, pet-, and visitor-friendly landscaping element.
Let's break it down.
::Lawnmowers suck.
First, just to start with their least offensive trademark, I consider them to be noise pollution. I hear lawnmowers going in my neighborhood 3-5 hours a day from May through October and it is annoying! If I happen to run into my neighbor outside, I have to stand right in front of her in order to hear her talking to me when lawnmowers are running on our street. It makes me miss the quiet of winter.
But let's get really green here. Why the gas-powered lawnmowers? Our lawns are so small in this neighborhood, I don't understand why almost all of our neighbors feel the need to own one at all. I own a push lawnmower (people-powered, not gas or electric), which is perfect for my tiny front and back yards. Gas-powered lawnmowers are oh-so-bad for the environment.
Here are a list of stats from http://www.peoplepoweredmachines.com:
~The EPA says gas mowers represent 5% of U.S. air pollution.
~Each weekend, about 54 million Americans mow their lawns, using 800 million gallons of gas per year and producing tons of air pollutants.
~According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a traditional gas powered lawn mower produces as much air pollution as 43 new cars each being driven 12,000 miles.
~…The EPA states that 17 million gallons of fuel, mostly gasoline, are spilled each year while refueling lawn equipment. That's more than all the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez.
~One gas mower spews 87 lbs. of the greenhouse gas CO2, and 54 lbs. of other pollutants into the air every year.
~One gas mower running for an hour emits the same amount of pollutants as eight new cars driving 55 mph for the same amount of time, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.
~The replacement of every 500 gas mowers with non-motorized mowers would spare the air 212 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1.7 pounds of nitrogen oxide, and 1,724 pounds of carbon dioxide.
(Click here for the source.)
So you see…gas mowers suck.
::Lawns use up precious water for what is essentially, an aesthetic preference.
According to Science Daily, "Lawns are the single-largest irrigated crop in the United States, three-times more than corn." And again, why do we use this much water for grass? Just because it's pretty?
Despite the fact that most American cities now have official water schedules set by the district, most people don't follow these rules, and they are not often enforced. For instance, in our neighborhood, you may only water every other day (odd addresses on odd days, even addresses on even days, and no one on the 31st of the month), and only before 11AM, or after 4PM. Not to sound like the Water Police, but I notice neighbors watering every day, around 1 or 2PM. (Doesn't everyone know that is the LEAST efficient time of day to water?)
And how about sprinkler placement? Even in this environmental climate, I still see people "watering" their driveways and sidewalks because their sprinklers aren't correctly positioned.
::Lawns aren't as eco-friendly as people think.
Many argue that lawns are great because they absorb carbon dioxide. However, a study "in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, found that typical lawn maintenance activities emit four times more carbon dioxide than grass can absorb. Devices that burn fuel, including mowers and leaf-blowers, contribute a bulk of emissions. Fertilizer production and irrigation add to the totals. Soccer and baseball fields are even worse offenders, the study found. Playing fields spit out both carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, but they fail to pull any carbon out of the atmosphere because they get trampled to death every year."
The final verdict, from Claudia Czimczik, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Irvine and her colleague Amy Townsend-Smith:
"In the lawns we studied there would be more benefit to the environment if the lawn wasn't there." (Italics added. Click here for the source.)
Now before the lawn-lovers throw tomatoes at me, let me say that I'm not against lawns in general. I do think it's nice to have a patch of lawn for the kids to play on, or for the dogs to nap on. I think it's nice to have them for playgrounds and parks (to some extent). I just don't see why even the smallest yards (like ours) need to have lawns.
Part of my frustration is seeing (and hearing) the amount of work going into the lawns in my neighborhood. I wish I could give you an actual numeric measurement of the lawns around here, but let it suffice to say that both back and front yards are very small! However, if we all had a garden plot in our back or front yards (or better yet, both), all the families around here could easily feed themselves throughout the summer. If we dedicated even half our backyards to garden space, we would all be overflowing with zucchinis and cucumbers and lettuce! (And frankly, I think it would be more fun for a child to play and work in a garden, than on a lawn.)
If I wasn't renting, I would rip out 90% of the lawn in a heartbeat. Two fruit trees would go in the back, and garden beds throughout, with a patch of lawn in the center for my sun-worshipping dog. And more garden space in the front yard, as well. I would have quite the bounty if I was allowed to do that, and I'd consider the fast-growing water bill worth the money, rather than cringing over the fact that I have to pay so much extra over the summer to water a lawn that I hate.
I think this is a really good time for us to question the "need" for lawns. If you decide you can't live without one, what can you do to make it more green (figuratively speaking!)? If you, like me, are stuck with one, what can you do to counteract its less-than-green attributes? If you don't like them, need them, or want them, what will you do to create a new, "greener" landscape?

I cannot find this tea anywhere in my local supermarkets. However, I did order this tea by the case. I thought it was delicious. To me it tasted more like a milk chocolate candy bar than like white chocolate. I took tea bags to work and my co-workers commented on the aroma. I wish I could find it in my local supermarkets, though.
I love this tea! It's rich and flavorful and tastes like a tea latte!
I bought a six-box pack of this because it sounded good. Next thing I know, I'm buying THREE six-packs of it because it's so addictive. The aroma itself is mesmerizing.
If you think a "white chocolate" tea SOUNDS delicious, buy some. It's much better than it sounds!
I too would love to see this in stores year round. I'm a chocoholic and tried this tea this month for the 1st time and I absolutely love it! Earl Grey is still a favorite but this ranks up there with it. Great for having "dessert" too!
I found this tea and bought it for a laugh but after I tried it I was hooked. I gave some to my mom and now she begging me to buy her more. Its our new favorite tea. I would love to see it in stores all year around.
I received one tea bag of this in a sampler bag at a 'tea party' given by Bigelow at our senior center. This is quite unique and wonderful. I must get some soon!
I bought one box when I first saw this in February. After my first cup, I went back to the store and bought two more boxes. I bought boxes all throughout the month of February, for as long as they had it! It has a wonderful, rich chocolatey flavor, and yet still has a wonderful tea flavor as well. I just can't give this a high enough rating! I love it!
I discovered this White Chocolate Kisses Tea around Valentine's Day. I bought one box and loved it so much and bragged about it so much that all my friends starting purchasing it too. So, I went back and bought 5 more boxes. Then I decided maybe this was only going to be a seasonal thing...so I went back to purchase more and it was all gone. :+( So, glad that I can order it on-line. I sent packages of it to friends all over the U.S. in Valentine Cards and everyone commented on how wonderful it was.
this tea was heavenly - absolutely heavenly. I usually like fruit flavored tea and got this as a gift - I am so glad I did!!
I wish this was available all year round. This is the best tea flavor EVER!!
I love this tea!! I drink it all year as every day is a special day! i am so happy that I can order this tea from the Bigelow site!
I know the name of the product is Valentine White Chocolate Kisses Tea, but I really think it should be available in stores all year-it's that good! Maybe the PTB will take pity on us chocaholics and make it happen!!
I loved this tea. I got it for a gift and am craving it. Smooth and fun.
I first discovered this wonderful tea in late January 2009 at my local grocery store and thought I'd try it and if I didn't like it, I'd take it to work so others could have a go at it. Well, I bring it to work, but not for anyone else. Ha!
If you mix it with some Italian Sweet Cream creamer from Carnation and add a little whipped cream to it, it's just like drinking hot chocolate.
Right now I love to add some Pumpkin Spice creamer by Carnation to it too for a little extra "kick" to it.
When I couldn't find the tea in my store last March, I immediately came to the site to order more and well, it's time to order more as the mornings are getting colder as are the nights and this tea just helps me wake up in the morning and wind down at night.
This is the most creamiest, smoothest chocolate tea I have had. Not being a chocolate person I was pleasantly surprised at how well this tasted. Being seasonal when I went back to the store to buy more the entire display had been sold out. It only has five calories and makes hot chocolate bland. Just add a spoon of sugar and some milk and even my kids love it.

Builds Lean Muscle. Helps Inhibit Catabolism. Supports Muscle Recovery.
Nitro Isolate65 Pro Series will help inhibit catabolism, support muscle recovery and build lean, quality muscle when combined with your hardcore training program and when used to help meet your daily protein needs.

The ultra-fast-absorbing whey protein isoalte that has been loaded into the Nitro Isolate 65 Pro Series formula helps build lean muscle and inhibit catabolism while supporting muscle recovery. This hi-quality protein also delivers the anabolic BCAA leucine, as well as other valuable BCAAs. BCAAs have been shown to help cause protein synthesis, a key metabolic mechanism for putting on more lean muscle and helping to prevent muscle breakdown. And to set this formula apart, additional anabolic leucine has been added to help create and environment conducive to muscle growth. Nitro Isolate 65 Pro Series is unquestionably the whey isolate formula of champions!
Features Tr-Phase Filtration Technology To Enhance Purity By Reducing Fat, Lactose and Impurities
Nitro Isolate 65 Pro Series harnesses the power of Tri-Phase Filtration Technology. Through three phases, this technology is designed to enhance the purity of whey protein by reducing fat, lactose and impurities. This advanced process is only used in premium supplements found in the industry.

One hundred percent of the whey protein component in Nitro Isolate65 Pro Series is ultra-pure, rapid-absorbing whey protein isolate, which has one of the highest tested Biological Values (BV). BV is a value given to protein sources to measure how well they are absorbed and utilized in the body; it was originally based on egg protein which has a BV of 100. But Nitro Isolate 65 Pro Series provides protein with a BV greater than that of egg protein, making it a truly remarkable source of protein!
You'll also be completely blown away by the mouth-watering rich taste of Nitro Isolate 65 Pro Series. Industry-leading flavor experts conducted internal blind-comparison taste tests to create an unparalleled flavor esperience with each delicious shake. Nito Isolate65 Pro Series is your top choice for an elite-grade whey protein isolate formula.

Photo Books–Inkubook
As a picture person I'm completely in love with those do-it-yourself photo books. I can't think of a nicer gift.
There are plenty of sites that let you create personalized picture books, but there is another one I just found out about. It's called Inkubook. Like it's competitors it's a web-based program with easy-to-use layouts, and text and photo editing tools. They also offer collaboration tools that enable you to invite friends and family to contribute additional photos and text. I get goose bumps thinking about all the great family history applications for that sharing feature.
Softcover books start at $13.95 and hardcovers at $24.95. A variety of sizes are available from 7 x 5 inch landscapes to 11 x 11 inch square format. All books are produced using archival quality 100 lb weight silk paper.

11:56 p.m. Good night, everyone! Thanks for following us. Carmageddon II now slips into history!
11:53 p.m. LAPD Alert: The I 405 Fwy Unified Command announced that all I 405 & Sepulveda Pass on & off ramps & connectors are now re-opened.
8:49 p.m. Unified Command announced the following:
"Kiewit, the contractor, has finished the clean up process and the re-opening process of the I-405 Freeway has begun. This process started at the I-10 connector ramps and will work north to open off-ramps at 8 p.m. and all lanes of the northbound I-405 freeway are anticipated to be open by 8:45 p.m. Once the freeway lanes are officially open, the contractor will start to open northbound on-ramps. Once the northbound lanes are open, the process will be repeated on the southbound lanes. The process of re-opening the entire I-405 Freeway will take approximately three hour. The Unified Command would like to thank Los Angeles residents for heeding the warning to avoid the Sepulveda Pass area and making Carmageddon II a success."
8:44 p.m. BREAKING: 405 Freeway reopening has begun. The northbound and southbound lanes and all ramps will open by 11 tonight.
6:59 p.m. How did Brentwood residents spend Carmageddon weekend? Brentwood Patch editor Matt Sanderson talked to people who were out in the area Sunday. Here's what they were up to.
6:40 p.m. After a long day of reporting from near the bridge, John Schreiber is headed out for the night. He says it looks like all the debris is gone from the freeway and street sweepers are picking up the last of it. Thanks for your great photos this weekend, John!
6:18 p.m. Kasey Shuda of Metro just gave me some details about the work that's left to be done tonight before the freeway can reopen.
Basically, it's clean-up and inspections. Workers are clearing away all the bridge debris from the hillsides and on the freeway. Then, Caltrans, Metro and the contractor Kiewit will inspect the demolition area—both sides of the bridge and the freeway below, Shuda said.
After the demolition area is inspected, the California Highway Patrol and Unified Command will inspect the rest of the 10-mile segment of the 405.
Once CHP gets the green light, the freeway lanes and the on- and off-ramps between the 10 and the 101 will begin to open. This process will begin before 5 a.m. so that everything will be completely open to meet the deadline.
5:28 p.m. K.N. Murthy of Metro says the demolition work is complete and crews are now inspecting the bottom of the bridge for any damage and clearing away remaining debris from the freeway.
5:25 p.m. One of the biggest complaints this weekend was the road closures for the Herbalife Triathlon Los Angeles, but the mayor said there are events every weekend in L.A.
"There is something every weekend in L.A... That is why we asked people to stay away from the area and they did," Villaraigosa said.
Yaroslavsky said the triathlon and Carmageddon "did not conflict with one another."
"The triathlon is trouble enough when it happens and creates a north-south traffic situation... That would have been the case with or without Carmageddon."
Villaraigosa also said during the press conference that he was on "needles and pins" when the large piece of concrete fell from the bridge Saturday afternoon.
5:05 p.m. "This is the mother of all public works projects," Yaroslavsky says.
Mayor Villaraigosa is now reading his statement in Spanish.
5:04 p.m. "I want to thank Angelenos for making Carmageddon Carma-Heaven," Villaraigosa says.
County Supervisor and Metro Boardmember Zev Yaroslavsky is taking the podium.
5:03 p.m. "First and foremost, we're not done yet," Villaraigosa says. He says the freeway is on track to reopen on schedule by 5 a.m.
"The freeway is not opening until we said it would, until 5 a.m.," Villaraigosa says.
The bridge is completely demolished and clean-up has begun.
Caltrans also completed seven weeks of maintenance work over the weekend, saving about $200,000 in taxpayer dollars, KNX reports.
"The real star of this event was the motorists," Villaraigosa says, thanking L.A. residents for staying away from the area.
Villaraigosa also reiterated the need for clear roads close to the Sepulveda Pass.
"Until the reopening time is official, please continue to stay off the roads. The reason it has worked is because you have all heeded the call."
5 p.m. Right on time, the mayor has just stepped up to the podium at the press conference. We'll bring you updates soon.
3:33 p.m. That back-up of cars on Sepulveda is due to a stalled car that's been cleared out of the way. Officials still want to discourage drivers from venturing to the area.
3:08 p.m. On her way to Unified Command from the construction site, LAFD Captain Alicia Mathis said she saw cars starting to back up on Sepulveda Bouelvard and other streets near the Sepulveda Pass.
A statement from Unified Command says the scheduled press conference at 5 p.m. is not to announce the opening of the freeway. Officials are asking people to stay out of the area because the freeway will not be opening at 5 p.m.
"The I-405 Freeway will NOT reopen at 5 p.m," the statement says. "The purpose of the press conference is to give a demolition status update only."
Sepulveda is the only access road the mayor can use to reach the construction site for the press conference.
"After all our good work this year, after all our good work last year, we don't want traffic to be so backed up that the mayor can't get to the press conference," Mathis said.
2:56 p.m. It looks like Westwood Village is pretty empty, though some businesses are reporting unexpected crowds. Westwood-Century City Patch editor Meredith Skrzypczak talked to a manager at one of the movie theaters in the village: "It's been really busy," Obet Maldonado said. "We didn't expect it to be busy."
2:38 p.m. In case you're staying home and inside this weekend, you should know that it is BLAZING hot out. LAFD Assistant Chief Pat Butler said temperatures in the canyon just east of the Sepulveda Pass reached a whopping 107 degrees at 2 p.m.
2:05 p.m. The press conference with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa moved to 5 p.m. does not mean the 405 Freeway is opening at 5 p.m., LAPD officials said. Unified Command wants to avoid having drivers jamming the roads near the 405 on-ramps at 5 p.m. The project is still on schedule.
1:40 p.m. How are people and businesses in Culver City faring with the triathlon road closures and Carmageddon II? Culver City Patch Editor Kelly Hartog chatted with people out and about Sunday morning. Click here to see the full gallery.
Karen Hansen, who owns Copenhagen Bakery on Washington Boulevard said there is good news and bad news about this weekend's road closures.
"It's been really busy," Hansen said. "We've had a lot of foot traffic with people staying home and just walking round the neighborhood. But some of my workers had a hard time getting here today," she added. "One of them came from Griffith Park and with all the triathlon road closures and the 405 [closure] it was tough."
11:20 a.m. Here's an update from Santa Monica Patch editor Jenna Chandler.
UCLA juniors Cory Ferris and Renee Romero avoided the 405 Sunday morning by taking the bus from their apartments in Westwood to downtown Santa Monica. They strolled Ocean Avenue in the hot sun.
Ferris said her carpool left an hour early for dragon boat racing practice Saturday morning at Mother's Beach in Long Beach and was forced to take the bus home. The carpool's driver lives in Little Tokyo and didn't want to navigate surface streets to drop her back off in Westwood.
11:08 a.m. From John Schreiber: Metro said it is still on schedule but does not say work will be completed early... Just on time.
"There is a lot of work going on that you don't see," said Marc Littman of Metro. Just because the bridge looks like it is almost done, there is still lots of work going on in other parts of the closed freeway.
Each of the four columns that was torn down weighs approximately one million pounds.
Because the freeway was fully closed, CalTrans said it was able to complete seven weeks worth of work in just one weekend.
LAFD said there are still no major incidents to report, resources are ready on both sides of the pass should something happen.
10:09 a.m. John Schreiber, one of our editors, is near the bridge and he says only one column is left on the bridge and crews are chipping away at it. As of 7:30 a.m. today, two columns were left. Progress!
9:40 a.m. A press conference with L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the construction site has been moved up to 5 p.m. from 10 p.m., and it could be a sign that the freeway may reopen early. Check back here for updates.
9:37 a.m. Some people were cited and detained earlier this morning by the California Highway Patrol for trespassing on the closed section of the 405 Freeway. There were two incidents and they were unrelated, according to a statement from Unified Command.
Two of the people were a newlywed couple, who were spotted at 3:40 a.m. near the Sunset Boulevard on-ramp. The couple were cited and released.
Officers also cited four rollerbladers near the southbound Getty Center Drive off-ramp, and one other pedestrian.
A statement from Unified Command reminds people to stay away from the freeway:
We remind the public that not only is it illegal to attempt to enter the closed freeway, but extremely dangerous. Construction vehicles are not expecting pedestrians on the closed freeway. Lighting is limited and dust can obstruct the view of construction vehicles. There are many hazards in and around the worksite that are hidden by construction material.
This report was compiled with information from City News Service.
8:11 a.m. The leaders of the Herbalife Triathlon have transitioned to biking now. Venice Boulevard will be closed from the ocean to Fairfax until about 10 a.m. Olympic Boulevard is closed between Fairfax and L.A. Live, where the race finishes. Make sure you check live traffic conditions if you're driving in that area this morning.
Sunday, 7:59 a.m. Good morning, everyone. We're now within 24 hours of the contractor's 5 a.m. Monday deadline to reopen the freeway and the latest update from officials is that the project is on track to meet that deadline.
Crews began demolishing the bridge columns last night around 10 p.m., and as of 7:30 a.m., there are only two remaining: one on the east side of the bridge and one on the west side.
Also, all spans of the bridge are now complete and workers are breaking down and removing the pieces of the bridge.
Check back here for updates all day on the project and when the freeway is projected to open.
10:00 p.m. I'm signing off for the night. We'll be back in the morning with more updates on Carmageddon II.
9:50 p.m. Workers have completed the demolition of two parts of the Mulholland Bridge, and a third segment is 75 percent complete. Tearing down the columns, a lengthy process, is underway and crews will work on that through the night.
Here's the full statement from Unified Command.
The Mulholland Bridge demolition is on schedule. The West and Center spans are both complete. The demolition of the East span is 75 percent complete. The demolition of the columns has just begun and will be a long process that will continue through the night.
The I-405 Freeway South Getty on ramp will close tonight from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for restriping.
The progress is moving forward as planned and the public has remained vigilant about staying outside of the construction area allowing crews to complete the necessary work.
8:40 p.m. I'm expecting an update from officials at Unified Command in about twenty minutes.
8:10 p.m. Things have been pretty quiet here at the Unified Command Center. Make sure you check out the photos John Schreiber took of the Mulholland Bridge during tonight's sunset.
6:04 p.m. A large piece of the Mulholland Bridge that fell down this afternoon will not delay the reopening of the 405 Freeway, said Dan Kulka, public relations manager for Kiewit.
"During demolition of a huge bridge like this, it's not unusual for pieces of all sizes to come down and though we didn't anticipate a piece this big to fall down, it's not unusual," Kulka said.
Crews will break down the large piece on the ground instead of on the bridge, Kulka said.
5:58 p.m. Officials are saying the project is still on schedule and a large piece of concrete that fell off the bridge did not damage any new construction. Here's the official statement from the Unified Command Center:
Within the past hour a large section of the Mulholland Bridge that is being demolished fell down. This morning another large piece dropped. This is not cause for concern. It did not damage the newly constructed portion of the bridge nor should it cause any delays. The contractor usually cuts the sections into smaller pieces. Structural safety engineers are currently assessing how the large section can be safely demolished.
5:22 p.m. Waiting on an update now, work has halted on the east side of the Mulholland Bridge.
5:05 p.m. Metro has confirmed work is slowing down on the east side of the bridge and it appears a piece of concrete that fell about an hour ago may have caused some problems. I'm told an update is coming in about ten minutes.
4:45 p.m. Our photographer John Schreiber says construction has slowed considerably at the Mulholland Bridge. I'm waiting for an update from someone at Unified Command. More to come. —Sara Fay
4:10 p.m. John Schreiber submitted an update from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at the press confererce at Carmageddon Camp this afternoon. He did a flyover of the city to check out congestion in the L.A. area today.
"We are asking people to continue to do what they have done," he said. "If you get in the car and come out here, it is going to be congestion like we haven't seen. If people keep on heeding the call—they stay local, shop local, get on Metro—things are going to be okay."
Villaraigosa added there is no way that this is going to get done on Sunday.
"It is just not going to happen everybody," he said, adding that work will not conclude early like it did last year.
The mayor said that crews are about one hour ahead of schedule.
"It is a very thin margin," he said. "Something could happen to bring that hour back. We expect that we are going to make the deadline."
But Villaraigosa added, "No guarantee."
3:38 p.m. Patch's John Schreiber and other media representatives are getting a closer look at the bridge construction. They are being allowed to walk closer to the demolition of the bridge. New photos to come!
3:02 p.m. LAPD Lt. Andy Nieman advises that if you're planning to travel tonight, like to the Dodgers game, Hollywood Bowl or L.A. Live, give yourself plenty of extra time and plan to take a route that's further away so you're not caught on the streets near the 405. Check a live traffic map before you leave to plan your route.
2:41 p.m. LAFD spokesman Eric Scott reports about the emergency personnel on the Kawasaki motorcycles, seen in a photo here.
If there's an emergency, call 911 he said, and their Mulholland incident commander will then dispatch the appropriate resource and if it dictates the motorcycle response. So far, Scott said they've responded to some routine medical incidents and a traffic collision, and will continue to be utilized during the 53-hour closure.
2:28 p.m. Kelly Markham from Caltrans reports they are seeing "pretty typical" traffic levels for a weekend in Los Angeles. Some areas are slowing as they'd expected, such as in areas on the I-405 northbound just south of the 10, on the 110 going through downtown and slowing on the 110 southbound heading toward downtown.
As with the first Carmageddon, Markham said Caltrans has halted all other major construction projects in the region this weekend so people can use alternative freeways.
"We are on schedule," she said. "The center span has come down. They are about 40 percent slotting the top deck, jackhammering."
2:18 p.m. I'm overhearing the potential pitfalls for commuters today are:
- The Dodgers play at 6 p.m.
- There are concerts tonight at the Hollywood Bowl and the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live
2:03 p.m. California Highway Patrol reports that between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. last Saturday, Sept. 22, in West L.A. there were 18 traffic collisions. This Saturday in that same timeframe, there have been 14 collisions.
1:54 p.m. From Carmageddon Camp, John Schreiber's reporting that it's hot and humid near the site. He's heard that a press conference is scheduled at the site for 3 p.m. and a walk through for media is scheduled from 4 to 5 p.m.
The Mulholland span that went over the 405 is completely demolished, Schreiber said. Metro's saying they're working on the deck above the bridge columns, and the columns will most likely go on Sunday.
Schreiber added there are people showing up to a public viewing area, some with coolers hanging out, but it's not overrun.
He's also seeing LAFD driving around on Kawasaki dirt bikes, fully equipped with medical supplies and AEDs, whcih was also done during Carmageddon I.
1:44 p.m. I'm getting an alert of automated traffic sensors showing heavy congestion in West Los Angeles near the northbound San Diego (405) Freeway closure. It may be coastal beach traffic for this time of day, according to Bruce Gilman of DOT. Road sensors show heavy traffic on Venice Boulevard east of the 405, Overland Avenue between Culver City and Westwood, and other surface streets crossing the 405, or parallel to the 405, in Westwood and West Los Angeles.
Other congested areas listed include:
- Northbound Beverly Glen Boulevard appears to be quite heavy north of Santa Monica Boulevard.
- One mile of northbound PCH between Venice Boulevard north to the National Boulevard and Santa Monica (10) Freeway exits.
- Eastbound Ventura Boulevard approaching the 405 in Sherman Oaks.
- Northbound 405 ramp at Greenleaf Drive, at Sepulveda Boulevard just south of Ventura, has been re-opened, according to Highway Patrol.
- Heavy beach traffic is observed on PCH between Malibu and Santa Monica.
1:21 p.m. Here's a huge shoutout to the LAPD and LAFD cooks at EOC who just made an amazing lunch for everyone here. Thanks guys! - Matt
12:30 p.m. Fun fact from Metro: Crews have to move approximately 2,700 cubic yards of debris and 300 tons of steel from under the bridge as it is demolished. - John
12:20 p.m. Here's the 12 p.m. Nixle message from LAPD: On schedule and things are going well. Demolition of the center span (over the freeway) is nearly complete. Slotting of the top desk on the two outer spans is 40 percent complete.
11:58 a.m. Metro spokesman Rick Jager reports that buses and railways are working fine, with no spike in ridership.
"We added six car trains to the subway system," he said. "They normally run three-car trains."
Jager added they have ability to add service to the rest of the lines: Blue, Expo and Orange.
11:33 a.m. LAPD Lt. Andy Nieman said the only glitch they've seen today is large commercial trucks with height and weight restrictions trying to use Sepulveda Boulevard between Wilshire and Ventura boulevards.
"We're getting reports of large delivery trucks are trying to use Sepulveda as a bypass for the closure," Nieman said. "It's an extreme issue for passage through the tunnel at Mulholland."
Nieman adds they distributed that message throughout the trucking industry to its unions and representatives, although maybe it did not reach the smaller companies. He said, depending on the violation, results could be the impounding and seizure of the vehicle, and said they need everyone's cooperation, especially the trucking industry.
"We're certainly spreading that word," Nieman said to KNX. "We hope trucking companies are listening right now. Don't use Sepulveda as a source to make deliveries.
On the work front, Nieman said everything's progressing as planned. They sent out a Nixle blast at 6 a.m. and will have another coming shortly near noon. No columns on the Mulholland Bridge are knocked down, as evidence by John Schreiber's photos, work is happening on the bridge's top deck.
11:26 a.m. From editor John Schreiber at the construction site — Alicia Mathis of LAFD: "We have no major incidents to report...so far, Carmageddon II is an excellent sequel."
Metro's K.N. Murthy adds everything is on schedule.
11:15 a.m. I just spoke to a person in EOC looking for a public information officer. She told me the project's still on schedule and there are no incidents reported.
Officials are encouraging drivers to use regional freeway systems to get around today, and if possible, try to avoid using Sepulveda Boulevard. - Matt
11:08 a.m. And we're up again at Metro Headquarters in downtown. I'll be looking into updates, incidents and connect back with our contacts back at Carmageddon Camp. - Matt
10:30 a.m. Pacific Palisades/Brentwood Local Editor Matt Sanderson will be at the Metro HQ today. Got questions for Metro? Matt will track down the answers.
10:09 a.m. Encino is fearless! Here's Encino-Tarzana Patch Local Editor Anna King's video on how folks there are taking the closing.
What's happening where you are? Tell us in the comments.

11:33 p.m. Jared Morgan reports on site that if the 405 does not open on time Monday morning, it's a $6,000 fine per lane every 10 minutes, and it's $60,000 per minute if all lanes stay closed past 53 hours, according to Metro spokesman Dave Sotero. During Carmageddon I, the 405 Freeway opened 17 hours early with a $300,000 bonus. Sotero says that this year, there is no bonus, just penalty.
11:27 p.m. I'm waiting to hear an update of the action at "Carmageddon Camp." It's pretty quiet here at EOC. We need some theme music!

8:32 p.m. Ipsen said the EOC communicates with Unified Command, which consists of the Los Angeles police and fire departments, California Highway Patrol and the Department of Transportation.
"I'm running a joint information center with all their public information officers," he said, saying it's an easier way to streamline getting the word out of Carmageddon activitie through Nixle and social media. "We understand the message needs to get out quick."
Ipsen said that, currently, the city is at Level 1, where EOC is monitoring all activities through Unified Command. The city is divided into four quandrants, he said, and given the 405 closure, if a wildfire breaks out, they already have incident commanders in place ready to move to the fire in minutes. Two weekends ago, the Sepulveda Pass and Pacific Palisades saw wildfires. If something else were to happen in Los Angeles during Carmageddon II, such as a fire, they would move to Level 2.
Ipsen adds, "Don't test the freeways. Don't get into your car."
8:27 p.m. Chris Ipsen, emergency preparedness cooridinator with the Los Angeles Emergency Operations Center (EOC), just came out of the control room saying most of the highways, except for the 405 northbound are green right now, an early indicator that people are getting off the highways early this Friday night.
7:50 p.m. The big closure coming up for 9 p.m. is the eastbound I-10 connector to northbound I-405, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. You'll want to get off the roads.

The 8 o'clock list is coming in a few minutes.
5:45 p.m.
Cpt. Matt Guthrie of the California Highway Patrol expanded on how they'll be patrolling the 405 Freeway during its closure this weekend.
"One thing we did this year different is roving patrols," he said, noting to ensure the safety of the workers on the 405, but to also dissuade anyone from the public interfering by going on the freeway, concern from Carmageddon I.
CHP will be providing air support - both fixed wing and helicopter - cars and motorcycles during the day in nighttime for the roving patrols.
5:34 p.m.
And Patch is live from Unified Central Command in downtown where the live press conference just wrapped up with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Supervisor Zev Yaroslovsky and public safety officials involved with Unified Command.
"Please heed the call to stay local," urged Mayor Villaraigosa, telling members of the media they were the reason "Carma-Heaven I" was a real success. He said they hope to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday morning.
The California Highway Patrol stressed for people to stay away from the 405 this weekend, and if you try to sneak out there, you will be arrested.
The mayor said they have 76 engineers out there and 400 police officers in between the 10 and 110 freeways. In addition, the Westside will see extra fire and emergency personnel available.
- Matthew Sanderson
5:23 p.m.
We'll have an update from a press conference at the command center shortly. In the meantime, here's a recap:
- Lanes on the 405 will begin to close at 7 p.m.
- Full closure is at 10 p.m.
Traffic is looking pretty bad right now, but dare I say...not much worse than any other Friday around 5:30 p.m.?

Scheduled Linguistics Courses
Note: Any quarters beyond the next one are only scheduled tentatively.
Academic Year Fall 2011-Spring 2012
Course Descriptions
LING 201: Introduction to Linguistics Science (5 credits)
Survey of major subfields of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisitions, and sociolinguistics.
LING 204: Sociolinguistics (4 credits)
Examines the relationship between society and language, concentrating on the following areas: address forms, variation theory, language use, sociolinguistics and education, multilingualism, language policy and language attitudes.
LING 315: Phonology (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201, 314 - Theory, methods and problems of phonological analysis and description.
LING 402: Morphology (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - This course provides a thorough analysis of concepts and theories of word formation (morphology). It surveys patterns of English word formation, gradually introducing morphological structures from other languages. Throughout the course I use examples of morphological and syntactic patterns from languages radically different from English to illustrate the main points being covered. This should provide you with: 1) a solid introduction to all aspects of morphology and a basic understanding morphological theory; 2) a clearer understanding of syntactic concepts that may be encoded through morphological modification of bases; and 3) a firm grasp of how English word formation contrasts with other languages. I also hope that the material presented in the course will inspire you to study languages different than those with which you are now familiar.
LING 321: Syntax I (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - This course is intended to help you understand how linguists think, and more specifically, to help you understand how to "think syntactically." Though this may seem rather silly as the topic of an entire course, understanding how to approach language scientifically is in fact extremely challenging. We are not trained to think about language in this particular way, but in order to "do linguistics" you must be able to examine and evaluate linguistic data, form hypotheses about that data, and construct theories with those hypotheses. This course is designed to teach you how to do that, step by step. We will apply what we learn about studying language scientifically to the syntactic structure of English and other languages, in order to discover some of the systematic rules that different linguistic systems.
LING 322: Syntax II (4 credits)
Advanced topics in theory, methods and problems of syntactic discription and analysis.
LING 314: Phonetics (4 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - Introduction to phonetics as a science, its history and contributions. Emphasis is on the function of the mechanism and on the production, perception and transcription of speech sounds used in various languages.
LING 402: Topics in Linguistics (3-5 credits)
Prereq: LING 201 - Readings and/or directed research as determined by instructor. Variable topic. Repeatable.

I picked up these three rolls of 25 cent tickets (the green ones are my favorite) at the local grocery store because I knew someday I'd use them in a photoshoot. I left them in my studio for a few months, and when the sun faded them to the perfect patina I finally was inspired to use them as props for our new Candy Shop wedding invitation.Â
One of our newest wedding invitation designs, Candy Shop, is available in stores now. It's shown here letterpressed in peacock and gray inks.

Mastermind: Champion of Champions
Pat Gibson won the Champion of Champions series final of Mastermind shown on BBC Two this evening. I was delighted when I saw what his specialist subject was: Great Mathematicians! I thought that was my cup of tea but to my embarrassment, I could only answer two or three of the questions asked.
Q: Who wrote the novels Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse?
A: Click here for answer.

Mastermind questions are amazingly hard. If the subject was my own life I would be lucky to get half right!

As we kick off the 2013 festival season, we are reminded how fortunate we are to be able to produce a music festival in the beautiful environment of Camp Mather. Twice a year we get to celebrate the things we love most; friends, family, music, food, and frivolity.

As you look over our website, we hope that you will be able to see and feel the spirit of Strawberry.
For a great introduction to the festival, you can listen to an interview with Charlie Cran, one of the founders of the Strawberry Music Festival, by Pat Walsh, a Sacramento sportscaster and Strawberry veteran.

s 11286 - s 11287 CON• RESSIONAL RECORD- SENATE August 10, 1967
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, press
reports on yesterday indicate that the
executive branch is giving "serious consideration"
to calling up the U.S. resolution
on Vietnam which has been in a
limbo at the Security Council since the
beginning of the year. I am delighted
that the Departments are thinking of the
possibility because I know · and can assert
that the administration is most vitally
interested In the approach at the
U.N. which was discussed the other daY
by the distinguished Senator from Kentucky
[Mr. COOPER] and myself. ·
I should like at this point to clarify
what is involved in this approach, inasmuch
as there are indications on the basis
of press reports from Moscow and
other sources that some sort of miracle or
instant U.N. solution Is expected by the
Senator from Kentucky and myself. That
is the last thing that is anticipated. What
is expected, however, is an end to the
head-in-the-sand official position which
has been taken by the U.N. from the outset.
What Is expected Is a formal effort by
the U.N. Security Council to create at
least a. small opening to peace, a small
crack in the wall ol war.
Reports from the Soviet Union indicate
doubt in that nation as to the usefulness
of the U.N. and a. preference for
a. Geneva. conference, yet the Soviet
Union has not moved to convene a. meeting
of the Geneva. conference--even
though it is a. cochairman, and even
though Great Britain, the other chairman;
has indicated time and time a.ga.in
its willingness to join with Moscow to
call for a reconvening of that conference.
U Tha.nt has reiterated that he is
doubtful that any useful contribution
can be made by the Security Council;
yet he is not pursuing any unilateral efforts
at this time and has announced
that he has no intention of doing so.
I am impelled, therefore, to reiterate,
that the potential of the U.N., to contribute
to peace in Vietnam has not been
explored, much less utilized. The U.N. is
not a. one-man show or a one-nation
show. It is an organization with a charter
and procedures for moving in the kind
of situation which exists in Vtetna.m.
This Nation should welcome help from
thtrd parties, Mr. President, but we cannot

I could still carry her in it at this point, but it would be kind of funny. Both..." --AdinaL

I know that researching your family tree and an interest in the past is fast becoming a massive hobby for many of us and I also know from experience how frustrating it can be to come to an end when you cant find anymore links and the information you need can not be found online.
Well I might be able to help! If you are looking for a headstone it may have the clues to names and dates that you need and I will be able to take a photograph and translation and email this back to you. As this is a new idea to me I will have to take it a few steps at a time and see how it goes but I love the idea that I can help people find out about their scottish roots!
I am born and bred in Scotland and know all areas so if you can tell me what cemetery your relation is buried in I can see what I can do to help you!

But, well, Kelly's running back Kenjon Barner reportedly has a strong lead over Lee in the Heisman race. So does Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, and probably now even Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. All those guys play for unbeaten teams or a team that has beaten Alabama.
That's OK. Until then, he can work on figuring out what food turned his smiling face so sour.
"Chips?" he wondered with a giggle.
It wasn't so funny to Kiffin, who couldn't believe one of his most stressful weeks nearly ended with his best player looking like a cartoon character. When Lee approached his coach with his swelling problem before the game, the coach nearly had his own allergic reaction.
"I was really to the point of thinking there's some really bad karma going on this week," Kiffin said. "I thought, 'This really can't be happening now, with arguably the best player in college football.' "
Lee was given some medicine. The swelling went down immediately. He took the field, fumbled the ball, opened those eyes, and spent the next three hours doing what he has been doing all season.
Afterward, he grabbed the sword and directed the Trojans marching band, noteworthy in that it was the first time all day somebody kept up with him.

Sorry if I'm wrong on my info, But as the above posters stated, we know nothing for sure yet
it doesnt actually brick it, it just boots into recovery until "official software" is loaded onto the device. 'twas on engadget.

So it seems to be software side and not hardware? Well that's not as bad as I originally heard, still brings a new danger into it
Completely broken phone....no.
I'm sure we'll see a good reliable recovery way soon after people start trying I'm sure they already are haha. Can't wait!
Gonna have to wait till August for the Froyo update.
Don't stress over it, enjoy your new Droid X.

Employment Services for Your Business
Many Oklahoma employers are saving time and money by working with DRS to recruit qualified employees who
really want to work. As a result, these businesses are rediscovering
dependability, commitment and lower employee turnover. At the same time, these
employers are getting a return on their state and federal tax dollars invested
in vocational rehabilitation programs.
An Oklahoma study shows that more than 84 percent of individuals served through Oklahoma's Vocational Rehabilitation and Visual Services' programs are still working after two years - the highest job retention rate of any workforce program.
If you want to save time and money, hire and retain capable, well-prepared employees and build a diverse workforce, we can help you too, free of charge. For more information about employment services for businesses, contact our office by e-mail or phone 918-581-2083 .
