From the mouth of Kevin Stewart
For all things life related. From BBQ to guns to cars, i tell you what i see thru my eyes, from my mouth...thru the keyboard, transferred into electrons that process on your screen.
30 August 2015
Since June (2015) I have hiked every weekend.
At first it was simply for the added fitness, another sustained cardio exercise in my weight loss journey... Simply THAT... I got out and did it because I thought I NEEDED to... For that..
But something clicked, 3rd or 4th time on the trail. I enjoyed it. Like with weight lifting, I really started to LOVE it. Out on the trail (since I'm a newb) I started seeing new things, wonderful, beautiful things that have been in my backyard for years!!! Critters, I've never seen, except in books, or Google. Plants, wildflowers, rocks and dirt, the variety is incredibly vast right here in Southern Arizona!!
Today I realized how much and WHY I love it. Talking to myself on the trail (when you're alone you have conversations too don't lie) went kind of like this..."why am I up so early?" "Sunrise stupid" What a sunrise it was. Watching out over my entire valley, as the sun peeked from behind the mountains to the east....ACTUALLY watching the sun creep over the mountains!!! THAT is why I'm up so early, THAT IS WHY I'm excited to hike... I wondered how many people am I REALLY watching this sunrise with (elsewhere in my area) FEW I dare say. So there is that, I get to see, I get to experience what few others, know happen, but never SEE happen.
Another thing that came to me was how with hiking, I don't HAVE to depend on anyone but myself... Even if I were to make hike plans with someone, and they were to bail on me (which is pretty regular) IM still on the trail... Their loss. I still get to relish in every bit of beauty that comes with every step I take. No one can take that away from me!!
Hiking allows me to have these conversations with myself in an element that makes me realize some of these "problems" that I think I have are rather small and petty.... For goodness sakes I'm a lone man on the slope of a mountain, with no human in eye or earshot, alone... The "problems" of town aren't anything in the grand scheme of things. The seemingly, never ending drama, of the Internet, and being connected to people that may or may not truly care for me, the behind the back gossip, and hate, are non existent out here THERE IS NO INTERNET! IT IS FANTASTIC!!! It allows me to REALLY reflect on the folks in my life that have been there every step of the way, and those that, well are lacking. I think of the people I've been there for, and some perhaps I should have been, and maybe some that I shouldn't have..All of that is replaced with serene, thriving beauty of nature, raw, right in front of me, new every single time.
I don't know if EVERY hiker feels these feels, but they are mine. I've become a hiker, less than some, more than others but altogether, happy in my pursuit of finding my happy place, so that I MIGHT become a better person.
10 August 2015
Looking back on my relatively short life, I KNOW I've made a LOT of mistakes. I've hurt a LOT of people, and been hurt deep to my core. I've loved, hated, lost, found, been ecstatically happy, and sat in the pit of despair, the whole spectrum, I think it's safe to say I've experienced it.
All these things have shaped me into the man I am today. I've learned who I want to be, from them, and who I no longer wish to be. I've learned.... And I think that is important....Through my learning these life lessons, I've been able to change, not against my self, nor for anyone else, but I've changed for me, into a better person.(or so I dearly hope) I don't think that I went through everything to be stagnant, and unchanging, clinging to what I once thought was the "ideal" me.... Mostly because THAT ideal me, was throughly unhappy as a whole... I know that now looking back.
I want to leave behind a legacy that my kids can be proud of, that my family and friends can be proud of. I try my hardest, to make them my priority, family and friends, because I've (felt like) been without, there was a period when I was a jerk (big time understatement) and felt abandoned by everyone I thought I knew. I don't ever want to feel that, nor have any of my loved ones go through it. So I do my hardest to let them know what they are to me, that I love them, not just in word, but in action. I hope to pass that on. The biggest things in life are friends and family, they are dear to me, and should know that.
Life is so short sometimes, and we can't be timid and simply watch it pass us by. "Grab life by the horns" they say, and "they're" right! There is stuff out there I never knew of, right in my backyard. I've found INCREDIBLE beauty in the wilderness since I started hiking every weekend, my only regret, is not starting last year, 5 years ago, 10 years ago....15 years ago, get the picture?? I wanna leave behind an example of how important it is to get out and experience everything a person can in life.
Although I am, I don't want to be remembered as the BBQ guy, the car guy, or the guy that likes lifting weights. I want to be remembered as a friend. A type of friend, dad and husband that was always there when needed, for fun, or for comfort, that followed through on promises made. I want to be that friend ALWAYS with open arms, and open doors to friend or family in need or just to visit. I want to be remembered as THAT friend that pushed everyone around me to be their best version of themselves. I want to be an inspiration to them. I want to be a REAL friend, like I've written about previously, to be a part of someone's soul.
I don't know how many folks I've impacted, but I hope it's been positive. I hope somehow if inspired you. I know I've been inspired by a lot of my friends, in ways I don't know if I can ever express to them, in words. But know, I'll never forget what you've instilled in my life, and because of it, I'm a better person.
That's the kind of legacy I want to leave behind, one of inspiration, always trying to be a better human.
03 August 2015
This is a tough one, and truth be told (not that you will see it) I will most likely cry at some point during the writing of this post, but it's an important one. It's a part of who I am, so for all 23.3 of you that read this, you're gonna learn today!!
My dad died in 2001, 3 days after he turned 38, I was 17. That is the toughest loss I've had in my life, bar none... It still hurts when memories come flooding in, in fact I broke down a few months ago one afternoon, out of nowhere.... Got it all out and moved on.... It's what we gotta do... But when the news broke... I dunno... I froze... While my siblings and mom were obviously devastated, bawling their eyes out, I was frozen, in disbelief, and denial, not a tear shed for many minutes, that seemed like hours... Not sharing in the loving embrace of my family... I was frozen...
I did grieve, but it was short. I think... I don't really know if you can set a timeline on an individual's grieving. It's a personal thing, you can't take that away from someone. They need to go through every step, at their own pace, and hopefully they dont get stuck.. That's where friends and family step in however. I had a great team of friends watching my back, and of course my loving family had each other's backs. Because of them I'm alright, they allowed me to do my thing, but also were there when I needed them to just be my friends, not to talk about my dad's death, but to simply be there.
I came to the realization, that I was hurting, and Dad wouldn't have wanted me like that. None of our loved ones would want us to dwell on the pain of their death, they'd want nothing but happiness, for our future. Once that clicked in my head (which was a few months later) I got back to being me. I had gone through my grieving process, and though it wasn't any less painful he was gone, I was, and am ok.
The breakdown a few months ago, was from a new pain realized. I was 17 when he passed, and at the time, (since he'd been sick for a couple years prior) I missed out on him teaching me to drive, and he didn't get to see me graduate.... But 14 years go by, and there's a snowball effect of stuff that I realized I missed my dad at... He wasn't at my college graduation, which would have made him so proud. My wedding, man would I have loved to look out and see his big smile there, but he was gone. And Makaela, my daughter, he never got to meet her, or her soon to be brother. So I grieved once again, and again, I had a few awesome friends, that were there to listen to me, to be the shoulder I needed. I can't thank them enough.
I want to let my friends know, I WILL be that shoulder when/if you need me. It doesn't matter how far away I am, I am a phone call or text away. I know each situation is different, everyone's process of handling loss is different, but one thing I'll say is I'll be there for you. It's what friends do, it's what family does.

If I've learned ANYTHING as an adult, plans change.... Plans get cancelled, people flake, vehicles break. Weather does what it wants, and sometimes things can just suck....
Things may suck.....that is IF you look at everything, as set plan, written in stone, non flexible... If you cannot bend when the curve is thrown your way, things will seem miserable.
This is why I like to "plan" events more like an adventure. With adventure, unexpected things pop up , and you roll with them, you have no choice either way, but how you deal with it, is what makes a less than desirable situation, bearable, even more fun, than what was planned.
Today was no different. We headed to the mountains an hour and a half away, to have a picnic. But as normal in Arizona the monsoon had different plans. Rain... So instead of a nice picnic on top of the mount, well we had a nice picnic on top of the mount, just in the car, instead of at a picnic table. We still enjoyed time together, we still ate in a place we've never eaten before, we had an adventure.
Eventually the rain ceased and we got to experience some beautiful rock formations, fantastic valley views and I found some fantastic, & new (to me) hiking trails that I cannot wait to hike!!
So make it an adventure, each day live a little, take things in stride. We've only got one life to do what we've got to do, don't waste it regretting plans that didn't line up perfect. Some of the best moments in life are probably wasted planning every detail. Relish in the missteps, mishaps, and unchosen outcome, for they tend to be special.
25 July 2015
I love nature. I love the deepest corners of it, far from civilization, where it seems no man has been before. I love the struggle as nature must prove itself viable in the midst of the largest cities. I love her caring side, seen in the flowers, and animals rearing their young. I'm astonished by the harshness of the reality of the circle of life.
I am drawn to the harshness of nature because I live it everyday. Living in the desert is fantastic. Most of the country knows Arizona as a wasteland of rocks sand and cactus, and it is a shame. Of all the states I've been too my home is my favorite, probably because it's home, but also, because we have every single climate type right here between our borders.
The plants here must protect themselves, so they are thorny, and will bite you if you're not on your toes. The animals here too will knock ya down if you mess with their turf. And that's another reason it's so cool. Much like the state itself, the animals and plants here won't be told what to do,(daylight savings can kiss it WE DO WHAT WE WANT) they flourish where they shouldn't and survive when most would perish.
The beauty in the desert is everyday, it begins with the sunrise, and oh my what a rise it is. As I stood watch in the sun come up on my last hike it's was amazing to watch the sky come ablaze and the landscape change I front of my eyes. I'm not sure in the rest of the country, but here at sunrise there is a rush of cold air that you can almost feel rush across the land, it's kind of an epic feeling, I hope you get to experience it sometime!
The sun sets and again the sky is set ablaze, with vivid pinks and oranges, purples and reds, our sunsets are epic, our flag is representative of our sunsets, it's a real thing Arizona has them on lock.
The summer here is interrupted when monsoons hit and they are a welcome event. The rains can take a 115° day, and cool it to 65° in a matter of minutes, while at the same time shut down a city with flooded streets. With the monsoons come all kinds of creatures and plant life, exploding to life with the rain. Plants grow like crazy. I mowed my yard this morning, some weeds were shoulder high, when two weeks ago they were nay higher than my ankles.
Some of my favorite animals are the roads tha pop out with the rainy season. Until then they are buried deep within the dirt, dormant hibernating til the next year, so when they come out it's quite an event. It's a party when they pop out, with song and muddy dance. As they croak deep into the night, it's actually quite peaceful, their song.
So if you ever get a chance, come visit. See the grandeur that is Arizona, come see our big hole in the ground, our painted desert, come see our extremes. Come and sit with me while the sun rises and sets, you won't be disappointed.

If you happen to be a non-millennial reading this then you remember a time when # meant "Pound" and didn't mean "Hashtag". If you are a millennial you've likely already skipped this intro and skimmed the rest of the picks. After all, you're entitled to win at DFS with minimal research and time invested. The DFS sites owe it to you, just like your boss owes it to you to give you that raise despite the fact you don't actually do any work all day. We'll be using the pound sign today to discuss how the O's are going to # on Mat Latos this evening. I've had issues with Latos for some time, I mean, what self-respecting Matt goes by Mat anyway? This year though, the issues with Latos are greater than ever. This guy has the nerve to masquerade as an ace with his sub 1 ERA and WHIP. We here at Razzball aren't fooled however. We see the real numbers under those fraudulent ones and we are ready to pounce. The 4.8 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 tell the real story, as does his 3.56 FIP. The regression fairies are just dying to pay Latos a visit, right after they finish cutting off all their jeans into shorts for the summer. I, for one, want to be there when this correction happens, and not just for the cut off jean shorts. Chris Davis will be heavily owned but if Pedro Alvarez finds his way into the lineup tonight, he might be an under the radar play that could pay handsome dividends. The Orioles don't have much else in the way of lefty batters however Mat Latos hasn't really shown a dramatic platoon split in his career, so just load up on every O you can get your salary cap around and enjoy the #ing.
New to DraftKings? Scared of feeling like a small fish in a big pond? Well try out this 10 teamer of Razzball writers and friends to wet your DK whistle.

Despite some improvements by the nation's largest banks, checking
accounts are still too confusing for cunsumers, according to new findings.
Millions of employees put money in 401(k) plans, but most don't know that the plans they invest in charge fees.
As mortgage rates sink deeper into record territory, homeowners are
refinancing into 15-year loans at a pace not seen in a decade.
If you're self-employed, unemployed or work for a company that doesn't
offer medical coverage, you may have to find your own insurance.
When someone we love passes away, the grief can be overwhelming. And it can be compounded by paperwork. Piles of it.
How does Facebook stack up as an investment? A number of stock analysts
are predicting a bright future but they
also warn of risks along the way.
President Obama has recently shown how distressed homeowners have been
taking advantage of the administration's refinance programs but that
more needs to be done. He has announced figures that demonstrate how, in
many troubled housing markets, struggling homeowners are successfully
pursuing government-backed refinance programs.
More than 200,000 letters from Bank of America will begin landing in
homeowners' mailboxes this week, the bank said Tuesday.
The housing market continues to tread water after six years of record foreclosures.

We summarize our study on implementing tautology checking, a fundamental logic synthesis algorithm, using an FPGA based reconfigurable application specific coprocessor. The use of the tautology checking algorithm is first discussed followed by the specifics of hardware accelerator implementation and interface to application software. We compare our hardware accelerator for the tautology check algorithm with the software implementation of the tautology check algorithm in Espresso II (R. Rudell and A. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, 1987). Our experimental results show that our accelerator is capable of achieving a maximum speedup factor of 2.94 and averaging 1.36 on 110 modified industry benchmarks included with the Espresso II package

This is a great receipe. I did a little different twist. I used cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk and added chopped broccolli and cooked bacon. Husband and Mom love it. Very easy to make
Wow!! This is so good!! I did add two more potatoes to the recipe because I only had russets on-hand. Next time I make it, however, I will use at least 8 russets as it tended to have more sauce than potatoes. This was a definite hit with my very picky eaters. They asked for seconds!!!
This was an excellent tasting potato dish but the instructions were a little confusing so this is what I did. I layered the potatoes, margarine (cut up into little pieces), onion, and velveeta cheese in the crockpot. I mixed the soups and milk together then poured that over the top. Then I added the seasonings. Gave it a good stir and cooked as directed. Made the most heavenly, cheesy, tender potatoes I have ever eaten. Thanks Crimsonvixen7.

SALT LAKE CITY — So that's that. Another year of column-writing in the books, and I know exactly how I want to bid adieu to 2013.
I'd like to thank all the people I interviewed this year while writing my About Utah column who taught me that the best way to live is to live to help others.
Every time I turned around, it seemed, I was writing about people who left me as humbled as if I'd just been posterized by LeBron James.
It wasn't by design. There was no grand plan to write about service and people who serve. I like to think I'm as suspect as the next card-carrying cynical reporter about so-called good causes and the agendas behind them.
But what happened, happened. And as I think back on the year, I'm astonished at the inordinate amount of people I met and interviewed that I'd like to be like when I grow up.
People who are providing extraordinary service all on their own. No one called them into a room and asked them to do what they're doing. No one coerced them. It's all on their own initiative.
And no one's paying them a cent.
It started in February when through my friend, golfer Billy Casper, I was introduced to a Salt Lake man named Alan Rudd. As a businessman, Alan made a fortune as an entrepreneur with a knack for turning around companies.
Now he's doing his best to spend that fortune excavating ruins in Israel he's convinced testify to the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. Alan's a Mormon, so that explains part of his enthusiasm. But when you sit down and talk to him you realize that what drives him, and his millions, is the "feeling" he and hundreds of others experience – including his friend Casper — when they travel to Israel and stand on the ground known as Beit Lehi, a feeling that applies to Mormons and non-Mormons alike.
A few months after I wrote about Beit Lehi I drove by a business in Sandy with "World Wide Trekking" in bold letters out front and words like "Everest" and "Kilimanjaro" underneath.
Thinking there might be a column there, I walked in and made the acquaintance of the owner, Dean Cardinale, an adventure guide who takes people up mountains, down rivers and all sorts of other places you wouldn't want to wander into alone.
Cardinale is Paul Newman/Steve McQueen cool, so after you meet him you figure he must have an ego at least the size of K2. But then he asks: If you're going to write about World Wide Trekking, would you please also write about the nonprofit arm of the company, the Human Outreach Project, whose purpose is to help out in countries where WWK treks — maintaining orphanages, cleaning up blight and so forth.
The project uses this anonymous quote as its mission statement:
"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any goodness I can share or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being Let me do it now and not defer nor neglect it For I shall not pass this way again."
After Cardinale, I happened to check out a book at my neighborhood library called "Second Suns" about two doctors whose goal is to eradicate cataract blindness through their Himalayan Cataract Project. As I read I discovered that one of those doctors, Geoffrey Tabin, lives in Park City. Luckily, Dr. Tabin was in town and I got to meet and interview him before he was off again to his clinic in Nepal. Tabin could be kicked back exclusively in the Utah mountains, making millions as a world-renowned eye surgeon. Instead he spends large chunks of the year traveling to the Himalayas to operate for free.

Library Styled Love Shoot
Wedding Design
This bookishly sweet love shoot was sent to us by Josh McCullock, who teamed up with Gibson Events to produce a perfectly conceptualized mini-reception based on books, literature and a little bit of sparkle. You're sure to fall in love with it just as quickly as I did.
From the design team: We loved the idea of two bookish types tying the knot in an old library or bookstore. She isn't the white dress type and opted, instead, for dressy separates in a light palate. He sports new frames and a bow tie for the occasion.
Our bride incorporated hand made paper flowers into her bouquet and her décor carries a restrained, but a little sparkly, aesthetic. Stacked volumes, primitive pewter and mercury glass vessels filled with kale, lambs ear, rose hips, black dahlia, hydrangea, terra cotta and ivory roses compliment the silver rimmed china and glassware.
Custom napkins and padded chair backs featuring Mr. Darcy's second profession of affection from Austen's Pride and Prejudice (possibly the most romantic passage in literature?) round out the guest table.
The sophisticated palate of peacock, pewter, terra cotta, ivory and navy presents itself seamlessly throughout the décor and wardrobe. An old typewriter font graces the chair backs, cake, invitation and brew bar menu. Speaking of the invitation, a sweet (but fictional) story of the couple printed on a standard vellum page features the pertinent information in a larger point to make it jump off the page. The theme continues with a book page motif gracing the three layer meringue cake.

This question already has an answer here:
- Do motherboards still need washers? 2 answers
I'm screwing in a motherboard, around the screw holes in the motherboard there is a white painted circle and inside that circle are what look like eight pieces of solder.
Do I need to put plastic/paper washers between the screws and the motherboard? Each screw goes into a little metal stand which is clipped onto the metallic case. If I don't use plastic washers will there be an issue with static?

Most of the country should enjoy warm, sunny days this week
as we enter the last fortnight of summer.
The next few days will bring more sunshine and temperature
ranging in the late teens to mid-20s and most of the country
will experience fine days.
The MetService says there will, however, be some patches of
rain and cloudy spells from tomorrow in parts of the North
Island and a rain warning in Fiordland for late tonight.
Duty forecaster Leigh Matheson said Auckland had had some
great weather during the past few days and that was set to
continue this week.
"It will be another fine day in Auckland [today]. There'll
perhaps be a little bit of cloud coming in and some light
easterly breezes, but otherwise a fine day.
"We're going to see some humid easterlies coming over the top
of the North Island and places like the Coromandel and
Auckland as well. So there will be some humidity in those
places this week."
Ms Matheson said temperatures in Auckland would remain around
the low to mid-20s this week, with a high of 25C today and
20C overnight.
Occasional patches of rain might be seen on Wednesday and
Thursday, but overall it would be fine.
Heavy rain is expected in the city on Friday and Saturday and
up until at least the beginning of next week.
Towards the Waikato, there is a temperature high of 27C
Wellington is expected to have some high winds later in the
There is only one heavy rain warning in the South Island at
Ms Matheson said: "Places like the Wairarapa, Taranaki,
Hawkes Bay and the Bay of Plenty will get some cloudy spells
from [tomorrow] onwards.
"Further south, in the west coast, there'll be rain about
[tomorrow]. Most of the South Island will be pretty good as
well, save for heavy rain in Fiordland."
What to expect
Today: Fine weather in most parts of the country, heavy rain
warning in Fiordland tonight.
Tomorrow: More fine weather in most parts, but humid
easterlies settling top of North Island.

'Exxon Hates Your Children' Ad Part Of Campaign To Strip The 'Social License' Of Oil Companies
You might have seen the ad below, called "Exxon Hates Your Children," circulated this week.
"We all know the climate crisis will rip [your children's] world apart, but we don't care, because it'll make us rich," says the fake Exxon executive.
Two groups, Oil Change International and The Other 98%, rolled out the campaign this week and are trying to raise money in order to put the ad on television. It's gotten a lot of attention in the last two days, including from Exxon, which called the ad "offensive." So far, the campaign has raised more than $10,000.
The ad has two objectives. One is to draw attention to tax subsidies that go to profitable oil companies and try to influence the current fiscal debate. The other, which is an evolving part of a newish campaign, is to marginalize fossil fuel companies and strip their "social license." Activists concerned about the environment have always demonized coal, oil, and gas companies in varying ways. But this is something slightly different. As the science gets more frightening and fossil fuel companies continue to ramp up their extraction of carbon fuels, climate groups are attempting to back these companies into a corner in new ways.
It's an extension of the 350.org "Do The Math" campaign, which seeks to target the bottom line of fossil fuel companies by encouraging institutional investors to pull their money out of the sector. "These companies have lost their social license" by exacerbating the climate crisis, said campaign leader Bill McKibben. "This is a rogue industry."
Expect more of this no-holds-barred communications strategy from environmental groups:
24 Responses to 'Exxon Hates Your Children' Ad Part Of Campaign To Strip The 'Social License' Of Oil Companies
It's nice to see people becoming more aggressive. Let's target the coal, gas, logging, and livestock industries, too. As with oil, there are substitutes for all of these materials.
Coal production in particular is a criminal enterprise, due to release of deadly toxins in addition to carbon dioxide. Backing off from penalties by mentioning something like "electoral college math" or "Congressional district" is kind of hideous.
Seen in context of 350.org's "Do The Math" campaign and the growing movement to position fossil fuels companies as global pariahs, starting with a divestment campaign — so well reported at http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/05/business/energy-environment/to-fight-climate-change-college-students-take-aim-at-the-endowment-portfolio.html — this is encouraging.
My main quibble is that the add focuses on government subsidies. That may not be the most important aspect of the overwhelming impact of this industry (by private companies and nationalized entities globally). Even without these handouts they will continue to buy legislators and laws and shape public awareness, circumscribing what's seen as possible and realistic to change.
Maybe the anger expressed here can contribute to a campaign to take away their power to destroy the world.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm an advertising and communications professional and while I think it's about time that the silent majority starting countering the onslaught of marketing from the coal/gas/oil industrie with a rebuttal of some kind – we can do better. From one professionals' perspective, the approach in this spot is really going the wrong way.
First, kudos to the team who produced, and who stepped out to do this and took the risk. I am trying to help here. Second, I share the rage the spot embodies. But it's not enough to be mad – or right. Third, the role of advertising and communications is to engage – to inform – to inspire – to course correct – and ultimately to convert. I don't care what you are selling – or to whom. This is how it's done. It is not ever the role of advertising to simply preach to the choir. Or skull bang. It's not productive. It will make you feel better – but you will not win – not this way. We have a whole spectacular echo chamber designed to speak to ourselves. You need to et out of the bubble. You need converts. You need to bring them to your side. This ad alienates. it begins with hyperbole that devalues the facts – which are and can continue to be brutal enough on their own. Which brings up the next point – stick to the truth. Especially when you're pissed off. In these industries the truth is brutal enough that you don't need to say "they hate your children". It's implied. Just use the clips of their statements ("climate change is happening – just move your agriculture, this is an engineering problem"), shots of the headlines (enron to exploding coal mines, toxic dumping, exploding oil rigs, and facts about how they're "takers" – welfare queens, "kept" industries. They say coal is clean – show the mines, mountaintop removal, lungs, stacks. Then finish with the questions that will most liekly resonate? Why are these folks on the dole? Why are we always cleaning up after them? Does energy need to be this deadly? Why aren't they good citizens? They're trying to buy and sell our democracy after all – don't you want a say in this? And finally, "can we afford the fossil fuel industry when we have alternatives?"
The point is that the truth is so ugly – you do not need to hyperventilate. In fact the quieter you are in tone, as the outrages on screen mount – the more the spots create emotional tension. It's just that no one has ever assembled the outrages into a campaign in a dedicated way that challenges the status quo. This spot reinforces the "hair on fire" stereotype of the "environmental hipster" without moving the peanut. We can't afford this any longer. Damn them with their own, words, behaviours, facts. I promise it will be bad enough.
p.s. – no one in advertising gets it right the first time. Keep at it. Best regards.
Cutting back on fossil fuel, is like open heart surgery on the economy. It is going to hurt like hell. It is going to be very expensive. It is going to be unpleasant in every way. However, it is the only way to save the world.
No, it is not going back to the stone age. Much of what we still consider great art was done before extensive use of fossil fuel. In some ways, the time from Homer to Shakespeare was more civilized.
Instead of subsidizing these offensive ways to generate power and move vehicles, tax it to the hilt and beyond. For cars, of course, you also have to slowly ramp up the taxation and put the money into building electricity-powered transportation infrastructure until you can ramp up the gasoline taxes to incredibly punitive levels. People won't wean themselves off this, they'll have to be forcibly weaned by making it insupportable to pollute. The same goes for coal and oil – tax them literally to death while using the money to build clean infrastructure. It's not difficult… just as long as the bought and paid for politicians would actually work for the people and not their corporate owners.
Being more aggressive and direct with the public is a GOOD thing.
I agree with Felix that those subsidies are in a way the least (or one of the lesser) problems. Yes, it's good to remind the public in adverts that on top of everything else, ExxonMobil gets subsidies.
But look, Exxon's revenues for 2011 were 486.429 billion so it is less tahn 1% of their revenues that this is. One almost wonders why they dont' take the (less than 1%) one-time hit to revenues and keep growing their gigantic revenues and profits on the planet…just as a tactical move to avoid having the spotlight on them? I reasons might be, i) not enough spotlight right now or ii)they dont' want to set a precedent for it being "ok" for Congress to take away any googie – after all if they took away this (relatively small, for Exxon) goodie, they might take away other bigger goodies.
The larger goodies run into the hundreds of billions or more – the cost externalized onto the backs of society, makes that $10 billion look like pennies by comparison.
I also encourage CP to recognize that the fossil fuel industry is at best "tied for first place" and arguably second place, as far as who the enemies of progress are.
Sometimes (but not often enough) mentioned here are the flat-earth free-marketeers – not just rich "think tanks" like Heritage, but the Chamber of Commerce and Corporate America in general. Yes, a less damaged environment would actually Help the profits of most companies, why don't they just join with the public to put the squeeze on the fossil industries? Obviously the latter are hugely powerful compared to even other parts of corporate America but that is not all.
Just look at the example of Single Payer – a public non-profit health insurance would Save money for and help increase the profits of most corporations, yet it is not just the for-profit health biz that opposes this reform; they are terrified of any "dangerous example" of the logic of Markets Uber Ales being questioned.
This is happening in the case of pollution too: even though most corporations would benefit, it's a dangerous precedent to question The Holy Godhead of The Market – after all it opens the door to "taking" away their profits in other cases where companies externalize costs onto society..Those forces are the #1 enemy of progress. The fossil fuel industry (or the for-profit health insurance and drug companies, respectively) are enemy #2. Hugely powerful too, but not the only or even #1 strongest force aligned against progress.
Dear ED,
While I believe your analysis is correct, I still think it makes sense to go after specific targets and nail them, then go after the the next target or set of targets. Global capitalism is a bit of a stretch as an "enemy" that we can get most people to take action against. Whereas these days, after Hurricane Sandy, the ridiculous posturing of the Congressional Republicans about global warming and so on, fossil-fuel companies are a relatively easy mark.
Winning battles is important if you ultimately want to win a war. Even if the subsidies don't mean much to the bottom line of the oil companies, their control of Congress means a lot to them. If the people can wrest some of that away, we will be empowered and the oil companies frightened, as well as publicly chastised.
Ultimately, all kinds of battles will have to be won to win the war of saving the planet. But we need to pick our battles and win them, not scatter our forces.
Well it's a good start and as per comments above, can be taken a lot further, ME
I think the ad has been blocked, possibly by hackers working for Exxon attacking the group's server. I can't get it to run here, on Huffington Post, You Tube or the group's own web site. My computer's working fine, so I wonder…
I hear what you are saying, but I think it all depends on who the ad is targeting and what they are trying to do with it.
I, for one, am offended by most ads and consider nearly all of them over-hyped if not down right lying. Very few ads engage me. That is because I'm clearly not their target audience.
Secondly, many ads these days go intentionally "over the top" in a deadpan way to stand out.
I don't think the target audience for this ad is "undecided" folks. I think it is people already worried about climate threats and is trying to move these folks into the column of "oil companies are violating their social license to operate." But I may be wrong.
Bottom line is that addressing target audience and goal is important in deciding if an ad is effective or not.
Lisa, different media have different characteristics and advertizing requires different strategies for each to be effective. The strategy you outline works well on paper and radio but not on TV. I don't know how this ad was put out but if it was for TV, it would work well. Analyses over the years have shown that the most successful TV ads contain little or, preferably, no information. They derive their impact purely from emotional reaction, ME
Nicely done, although it will never be allowed to air on network TV. That is a waste of time and money. It would be far better to just try to get people to post it to their facebook pages and send it to every one they know.
Take the money and have a contest for creating a series of commercials with the same ideas.
Sorry, false alarm. I restarted my computer and got the ad. Glad I did, too. We need a lot more of this aggressive stuff — as well as keeping up with the well reasoned arguments — when dealing with the fossil-fuel industries and their well funded denier campaigns.
Agreed. It might appear in the NY Times or elsewhere as a half-page ad. But the Web is the way to go. I could see this thing having several million Youtube hits.
Philip – I was being a bit more specific than "global capitalism" ..so to clarify: in addition to working to eliminate the legal bribes/"campaign contributions" (which others have mentioned often on CP) I add these two: right-wing think tanks, who refer to, quote, "free market" (read: unlimited corporate power and profits over all other values, and over people's democratic rights) and thirdly a public education campaign on this issue.
I'm sorry to say that we will LOSE the war if we only get a few subsidies eliminated while allowing flat earth "Free market" fundamentalism to continue – just look at the fight for public nonprofit universal health insurance – it was in high gear since 1992 at least (so earlier than climate activism being in high gear) and has suffered from this same common blocking since any regulation of Unlimited Corporate Tyranny (this UCT, which they call 'freedom' and "free markets") is massively assaulted and blocked.
Lisa, thanks for that helpful comment. I'd like to talk with you about an effort to advance the smart grid discussion. I am reading your other comments on GreenBiz.
Please contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you.

"Global Capitalism" may be considered a misnomer for the subject of super corporations. Perhaps a more defining title would be "Economic Oligarchy", which attempts to remove competition at all levels. Where as capitalism allows for all competition, global or otherwise.
I believe it's correct to have ads such as these to balance out the adverts touting that corperations offer thier services to benefit the consumer. The well informed consumer knows better, but the majority of consumers are not well informed and prefer an existance of simplicity. This , of course, makes them vulnerable to glitzy and misleading advertisement. Until the majoirty (middle class) consumers take upon themselves the responsibility to become more informed, the status quo will remain a such. However, with the introduction of the internet, the coporate media has much less influence and so the staus quo is changing. Slowly but surely, the social medium is swinging to a more informed middle class.
A growing class of concerned people hope it's not too late! Only time and effort will tell.
Maybe this advert doesn't seem well presented to you, but the target audiance is the middle class consumer. The so-called midde class is where the true power is, if only it could be mobilized through being well informed and truly responsible. Many mid class consumers prefer thier lives to be simplistic and do not want to get involved in social economic change. However, there seems to be a trend towards becoming more active socially. Economic iconoclastism may be the result. This is made possible through the movement of ideas by way of the internet. I'm sure corporate media and corporations are doing thier best to intercede in or manipulate the situation, for their influence is begining to decline. Why do I say corporate media? Because non-media corporations and corporate media are intrinsically interdependent on the support of each other for the control of consumers, wealth, and power. So, it's reasonable to say media is just as responsible for the economic, social, and enviromental failures of the world as a whole as are the corporations that abuse our resouces.
Too little, too late I fear.
Taken in a vacuum, I agree fossil fuel subsidies are small potatoes. However, that is the reductionist sort of thinking that got us into this mess. Systems-based thinking recognizes that going after subsidies has a long list of additional benefits, which have nothing to do with chopping off that little bit of cash on the company's ledgers.
Personally I can not think of a better recruitment issue, short of catastrophes and mayhem. Somehow we need to open the psychological door in the public's mind, so they can take the next step, and myriad subsequent steps, all of which are required before we can expect true BAU believers to make the full conversion to advocating steady state economics. If not organizing around subsidies, where would YOU suggest we start?
It is systems analysis that shows us that if we keep the same system (exponential economic growth forever based economy, investor driven short term profit based economics, corporate run planet Earth, etc) the problem will only get worse. We're treating the symptoms not the disease.
As far as the quesetion about "if not organizing around subsidies…?" I was not suggesting this be skipped, I was not saying anywhere that we shouldn't treat symptoms, or that we shouldn't include this campaign. In fact I said it's "good to remind the public" about these subsidies. But we have to act on multiple fronts. Short of giving you are 10 point or 20 point entire campaign outline, I'm not sure how much more specific you expect – the above is a campaign to change both laws and to change the public mind, about subsidies; I was being very specific: add on additional campaigns changing both the laws and public mind on the systemic (systems thinking!) problem of the sick economic system – for starters, progressivse including CP can stop using the phrase free market without ironic quotes; (sadly we perpetuate the idea when we refer seriously to corporate tyranny over all human rights as anything with the word "free" in it!) and then campaigns to educate about our growth-based economy, on the fact that right-wingers should be with us if they are against "freeloaders" since corporations are freeloading but externalizing costs on society, and enact laws from smaller scale to eventually larger scale that embody alternative economics, ownership, control, by communities, by workers, by neighborhoods, with i)democratic control, and ii)The Commons and iii)human rights over the rights of artificially created legal entities (corporations) as some of the principles behind such legal changes. It's not like we have the time luxury to wait another 10 years and then another 10 years after that for little steps like less subsidies before we tackle and change (nor reform but overhaul) our economic system – waiting until 2032 before we even start to stake small steps to address that Systemic aspect, is suicidal. Corporations are the dominant players on planet earth today – not nation-states. See how many times the word "corporate" even appears in the comments or article here. Not encouraging. Let's work together to change that! econdemocracy(gm)

There is more we need to do. Please sign and share our petition.
The petition reads:
It is not enough that we the people shoulder the burden of reducing the carbon out put by buying more efficient cars, by buying solar panels, by buying mass transit tickets, or through the purchase of more efficient homes. These are all good things and good for business and I applaud these efforts – but it is not enough.
Shut down the tar sands project in Utah before it begins. Reject the Keystone XL pipeline. Work to shut down the blight that is Canadian tar sands. Push the carbon tax and more.
Because none of those other things we re-elected you for will mean anything if we can't drink the water or breathe the air.

Hello. I have two (hopefully) quite simple questions-
1) I have a log-in only area on my website (HERE,twentyeleven child). I originally hid the admin bar at the top using a plug-in, but then realised there was no way then of getting to edit a profile/change the password *important bit*) so I have de-activated it. Is there any way of "autohiding" it so it only appears on mouse-hover?

Missing old festure I'm a paid user of app and website. The recent over haul to app (2 or 3 updates ago) is mostly great, however I'm missing a key feature. In the grocery shopping list, there used to be a feature/mode that put checked off items at bottom of list, which is now gone. It was really useful during shopping with ba large list. I do appreciate the shopping list update of returning to last point of view instead of returning to list top when returning to ap.
Recipes are good-Planner is not I guess the rating should depend on what you are using it for. I wanted it to plan out my weekly meals and make a shopping list. There were some really yummy looking recipes and I liked the category selection. However, you can't add your own recipes. You can type a "note", but that won't add to the shopping list. Also, it appears that there is no way to delete a meal once it has been planned.
HATE the new changes!! I used to be able to easily move my menus on the calendar. Decided not to have pork chops on Thursday? No problem, I'll just slide the pork chop recipe to next Tuesday. NOT ANYMORE!! This new upgrade makes it impossible to see your menus laid out on a calendar and impossible to move your menus around. I used to love this app. Now I'll be cancelling my paid subscription. I'm really disgusted . . .
Useless menu planner I got this app mainly for the menu planner only to find that one can't edit the plan or even delete entries. The you get the advice to use the full online version and once on the desktop site you are redirected to use the app for the menu planner. Frustrated and uninstalled...
Cost To bad you can't use Google cash to pay for this. Guess I'll keep looking for an app that will give me what I am looking for.
Excellent Very responsive, lots of recipes which are easy to follow. Had some issues with the latest (June 2016) version which were very quickly fixed - and fantastic response from BigOven. Thank you.

Comments about KitchenAid 30" Electric Cooktop:
Boils water in 2 minutes. Easy to clean. Only downside is the humming sound during use, which is louder than the one i had previously at my prior home, which is a different brand.

Comments about KitchenAid 30" Electric Cooktop:
I would put 0 stars if I could! Do not buy this cook top! This is the worst appliance I ever had!
This cooktop burned twice in a matter of a 6 month. First time it burned after 3 months of use. Leaving my family and my one years old son without cook top for almost one month. they wanted to repair it but parts were on a back order. No timeline, no answers when it might be replaced. NOTHING. They finally replaced unit because kitchen aid couldn't find a parts. This Thursday it got burned again, after another 3 month. What a quality! Moreover, it's sparkled and lite up like a Christmas tree. Very dangerous! This is 240 watts cooktop. In addition to that, customer service scheduled my appointment on Saturday and confirmed it twice; however, today I found out that Appliance repair center was not even open on Saturdays. I've cancelled my weekend plans for this appointment...... Just a waste of time and money. Highly recommend you to buy a different brand, which now I'm going to do myself!

Comments about KitchenAid 30" Electric Cooktop:
We bought this cooktop 2 years ago. We never used induction before, but liked the idea of faster heating and great cleanup. We absolutely love it! Yes, it took a little learning to use. For example, don't turn your back on it cuz it cooks fast, especially in the high settings. It cleans wonderfully. Still looks like new. And, yes, you need to have the right kind of pans. We got a great set for under $200, so no problem. We own 5 Kitchenaid appliances and this cooktop is the very best. We're now moving and we need to replace the appliances at our next home. We KNOW that the induction cooktop will be the first kitchen appliance that we buy. (PS, I'm an actual, non-paid reviewer. I don't work for Kitchenaid. This truly is my personal experience.)

Comments about KitchenAid 30" Electric Cooktop:
I've used this cooktop for 2 months now. 1st off, know that you will need to buy new "induction" capable cookware if you don't have that from the previous cooktop you owned (meaning "magnetic" cookware). And you need to buy good stuff (like All Clad), not cheap. So there is a huge cost off the top. If that is good for you (it was for us) and you do buy this cooktop, you need to know about the "bridge" feature. It is a feature that Kitchenaid and most likely whatever Kitchenaid dealer sells it to you, will tout. The "bridge" feature is that two "surface cooking areas" of the same size on one side of the Cooktop will form a "bridge" connecting said two areas together when this feature is on, so you can use a griddle or grill on it. Nice idea, but the problem is the two surface cooking areas, when combined using the "bridge" feature, equals an oval shaped surface cooking area that is 15.25-inches by 7.25-inches. There is no induction capable griddle or pan made in the world that fits that size, plus griddles and grills usually come in a rectangular shape. I called Kitchenaid to ask if "they" made a griddle or grill that fits this "bridge" feature. Made sense, right? After some hold time, the agent came back and said that they did have one griddle that would fit the oval shape, but it was not "induction" capable. Huh? What good is that information to me? Nice. Not. So then I asked if the grill or griddle could be larger than the surface cooking area since most griddles or grills are bigger their "bridge" feature (and rectangular, not oval). She told me "No." Some info on size is found in 2 places in the owners manual. One place says, "The diameter of the pan's base should be equal to the size of the element. If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate" The other place says, "Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The diameter of the pan's base should correspond to the size of the surface cooking area." There is nothing that says that if your cookware (in this case a griddle or grill) is bigger than the surface cooking area, then the burner will not sense it and thus not activate. My question now is, "Was the agent wrong when she told me that if the pan was bigger, the burner would not work?" I have since written an email to Kitchenaid to ask this same question because the agent I spoke with seemed very tentative in her knowledge of "induction" cooktops. At the end of our conversation I then pressed the agent saying, "So, Kitchenaid created a "bridge" feature selling point, which our Kitchenaid appliance representative used with us, that cannot be used in "bridge" mode due to the fact that no one in the world makes an "induction capable" grill or griddle that fits the exact size of the "bridge?" And because of this, the "bridge" is useless, but useful to Kitchenaid (and the dealers of Kitchenaid Induction Cooktops)as a selling point." She sounded kind of sheepish as she told me, "Yeah, I guess." I added that it was really odd to me that the Kitcheaid Innovation team would create what at first seems like a really nice feature, but then not even tell the Kitchenade Cookware department about it to ask them to make a grill or griddle that fit. It actually would have been nicer if the Kitchenaid Innovation team had checked the standard size of most griddles/grills and made their "bridge" feature to fit. Hello! I'm still waiting to hear back from Kitchenaid, but in the meantime, they have sent me an email asking me to write reviews on the FIVE major appliances we bought from them. You'd think with us having bought FIVE, they'd be quick to respond especially since the email says,"We value your opinion and would love to hear your feedback." Really? I would not recommend any Kitchenaid Induction Cooktops with the "bridge" feature because unless they fix the problem, it's a waste of your money!

Comments about KitchenAid 30" Electric Cooktop:
So far I like the induction cook top, have had it a month and a half. I need a griddle to do pancakes that will fit the bridge burners. Would like it coated for easy cleanup. Please give me some suggestions to look at because I cannot find one anywhere even on your website. Speaking of that, I did see the picture of a griddle you have on your website with the induction cook top section that has vegetables grilling on the "bridge." It would appear the grill/griddle used is much bigger than the bridge, which only measures 15 1/4" by 7 1/4". Can the griddle be bigger than the bridge cooking surface because I don't believe there is a griddle or grill out there that fits the "well" touted "bridge" feature? I will rate this higher if you can produce a griddle to use on the "bridge."
