The original LA-3A Leveling Amplifier, or compressor, made its debut at the 1969 New York AES Show, and marked the departure from the tube design of the Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifier. It offered a new sound in optical gain reduction, with faster attack and release characteristics, that were noticeably different from it's tube cousin. Universal Audio brings this unique sound to your mixes with the LA-3A Powered Plug-in. UA emulated the electro-optical element, or ELOP, which is the heart and soul of the LA-3A.

Schuette expects Detroit pension case to reach nation's highest court
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says he thinks the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually have to decide whether Detroit's public employee pensions are protected from bankruptcy.
Schuette is challenging a federal judge's decision that cutting pension benefits is on the table as part of the bankruptcy.
"This is a case that lots of states and cities and counties are watching carefully, and it's a case of first impression and it really is a battle between what governs? A state constitution like Michigan or Illinois has one that's similar, or the federal supremacy clause, the federal bankruptcy clause?" says Schuette.
The judge says federal bankruptcy law preempts pension protections in the state constitution.
Schuette says the question is a new one and of wide interest.
"I'm going to very aggressively represent and defend our constitution, and, in the end, the Supreme Court will say, will make a ruling and that will be the final decision," says Schuette.
Schuette says the dispute should not delay the rest of the bankruptcy, and puts pressure on the city and its creditors to come up with a plan that does not affect pensions.
Detroit's emergency manager says there's more than $9 billion in unfunded pension and retiree healthcare liabilities.

Update: Channel 9 video in case you don't want to read the article.
Download demo code here
Let's start by painting a simple scenario: I have a ViewModel that lists a collection of data items. Let's say a list of Tweets based on a given hash tag search. The ViewModel has a SaveCommand that I will wire into my view. When the user causes the SaveCommand to execute, the ViewModel will leverage some service to persist the selected tweet to some form of storage. And there is the rub… Maybe in v1, I will save that tweet in IsolatedStorage, but in the future, I will want to also provide an option to select a cloud-based storage solution. This is is where we start to hear all kind of things about Dependency Injection, IoC, and more.
Hey, I am a fan of Dependency Injection and using in IoC container, but the what I hate about DI/IoC is that is takes me away from the pure XAML-based goodness of defining my ViewModel in XAML view an element's DataContext and into the world of code-behind and setting things up with code. I would much rather do this in MainPage.xaml
<UserControl.DataContext> <nScreenLibrary_ViewModels:SearchViewModel/> </UserControl.DataContext>
than have to start resorting to this in my MainPage.xaml.cs code-behind file…
this.DataContext = new SearchViewModel();
That brings us to using XAML to accomplish a version of Property-based Dependency Injection. By no means am I saying this solution is perfect. But I think it will work for a lot of people. There really is no rocket science here, but if you are still new to XAML and haven't explored a lot of its power, this may prove a useful solution. In addition, as I searched around the Intertubes for a similar approach, I couldn't find one which means I am either blazing a trail that will prove beneficial to many, or I am so far off the reservation that the Developer Police will be coming to take me away shortly.
That brings us to the solution. Suppose I have a ViewModel that looks something like this
public class SearchViewModel :BaseViewModel { public ObservableCollection<MyDataItem> SearchItems{ get; set; } public ICommand SaveCommand { get; set; } private IFavoritesService _favs; public SearchViewModel() : base() { this.Tweets = new ObservableCollection<Tweet>(); this.SaveCommand = new RelayCommand() { CanExecuteCommand = (tweet) => { var saveTweet = tweet as Tweet; return saveTweet != null; }, ExecuteCommand = (tweet) => { var saveTweet = tweet as Tweet; if (saveTweet != null) _favs.Save(CurrentSearchTag, saveTweet); } }; } }
public class SearchViewModel :BaseViewModel
public ObservableCollection<MyDataItem> SearchItems{ get; set; }
public ICommand SaveCommand { get; set; }
private IFavoritesService _favs;
public SearchViewModel() : base()
this.Tweets = new ObservableCollection<Tweet>();
this.SaveCommand = new RelayCommand()
CanExecuteCommand = (tweet) => {
var saveTweet = tweet as Tweet;
return saveTweet != null;
ExecuteCommand = (tweet) => {
if (saveTweet != null)
_favs.Save(CurrentSearchTag, saveTweet);
As you can see from the code, the SearchViewModel will use some implementation of IFavoritesService in the SaveCommand's ExecuteCommand property. Let's say that I have a concrete implementation of that service that would look something like this…
public class IsolatedStorageFavs : IFavoritesService { public void Save(string searchTag, Models.Tweet tweet) { // do some saving } }
public class IsolatedStorageFavs : IFavoritesService
public void Save(string searchTag, Models.Tweet tweet) {
// do some saving
How do I get the IsolatedStorageFavs object into the SearchViewModel without using some kind of DI/IoC and code-behind solution? The answer is surprisingly simple.
First, let's update our SearchViewModel implementation by adding a FavoritesStorage property as shown below
public class SearchViewModel : BaseViewModel { private IFavoritesService _favs; public IFavoritesStorageService FavoritesStorage { get { return _favs; } set { _favs = value; } } }
public class SearchViewModel : BaseViewModel
public IFavoritesStorageService FavoritesStorage {
get { return _favs; }
set { _favs = value; }
You could simple replace the private _favs member with an automatic property as well… it's up to you but I wanted to show how to modify the existing example. With that change, we can now modify our XAML as shown below:
<UserControl.DataContext> <nScreenLibrary_ViewModels:SearchViewModel> <nScreenLibrary_ViewModels:SearchViewModel.FavoritesStorage> <nScreenLibrary_Services:IsolatedStorageFavs/> </nScreenLibrary_ViewModels:SearchViewModel.FavoritesStorage> </nScreenLibrary_ViewModels:SearchViewModel> </UserControl.DataContext>
Now, when the application is run, an instance of IsolatedStorageFavs will be created automatically and assigned to the SearchViewModel's FavoritesStorage property. If at a later date I wanted to swap in a cloud-based storage solution, I could just go back to my MainPage.xaml file and replace the XAML with the correct markup to instantiate a CloudStorageFavs, for example.
The one drawback is that you are limited to Property-based Dependency Injection. If you need access to the property during construction of your ViewModel, this will not work since Silverlight/WPF will not assign the property an object until after construction is complete. Another one, though not a big deal IMHO, is that if you are not comfortable working with XAML, adding namespaces, etc. then you may want to stick to doing this kind of thing in code. I feel, however, that this is much simpler thing to learn than diving into DI/IoC if you have not done that before.

Were we just talking about this the other day? I was talking to someone from Jefferson. Do you know Shane Scheuermann? Nicole Stofer? Kelly Wyatt? I used to spend time there when I was living in Ames.
We were basically neighbors then. I grew up in Jefferson. I used to hang out in Boone all the time. Even when I go back now you can just about be assured that I stop in Boone to get my Godfather's fix.
I give everybody the benefit if the doubt. Where did you grow up? Boone here.
Thanks for the rep. Don't let the name fool ya...I'm 100% Iowa State. I grew up just a little over a half hour from Ames which automatically makes you a Cyclone fan. I just happen to call Arkansas home for now but I honestly have no love for the razorbacks.

Weekend is over and I'm back home.
Muse didn't like me very much today though. But let's see where this piece is heading.
I wonder, why I don't get much sleep those days *taking a look at my watch*

One step further...
Let`s make something Frazetta-like...
Ah, I love the Frazetta-style piece with the Vikingesque warrior! I can't wait to see it finished already!
Everything is better with dinosaurs.
Thanks, Brandon :-)
Haven't been doing a lot at the weekend since I got ill a little bit. But now it was time to flesh out a little something...
Next update of the frazetta-Dude (Yeah, unrealistic armor for the win!)
I know... it`s no big progress. But as I wanted to show some of my stuff more frequently I thought I should post this ;-)
Have you already been bored by that same old plane brown "hill"? I took a littlebit care of it now ;-)
The not so daily daily-update:
I think I'm finished now. And here`s the fun thing about it:
The whole Painting is just a silly joke concerning "epic battle dude", a mobile game I did all the graphics for - the game itself is completely cartoony and funny. I just had the idea to bring the battledude into a frazetta like brutal form. And... here it is. You´re watching it right now. ;-)
Did't post anything for the last weeks. So it's time to finally do so...
Sooo.... here's some sunday morning doodle:
Here's a inked version of the elve.
I'm curious how other artists would colorize it. So I'm asking YOU out there to take this picture and give it a try if you want to.
Of course I want to see the result. So please feel free to post your version on my profile page :-)
Finaly! CA is working again...
Vacation was over and there wasn´t much to do at the first morning at work. So I had time to do the first little sketch.
And last night I had to find something to become tired and beeing able to fall asleep quickly...that's how the seccond pic emerged.
I really like that last concept, very subtle and very Pan's Labyrinth. I'd love to see more like that from you!
Hey, last concept is really outstanding! Love it. Is it rendered already?
Thanks, clockworklives and classmate
It was some kind of experiment in a way...usually I do stuff like that just with a pencil. In this case I wanted to try out if I could do it with colours (it`s a combination of watercolours and polychromos). There's still room for improvement but it came out better than I apprehended. ;-)
Oh nice! I really like to see traditional mediums in action. To be honest, your combination of watercolours and polychromos is superb! Well done and hope I'll see more of those combinations soon Have you considered for example to make a creature only with watercolor and gouache?
Your pencil work is really good! And nice concepts too. It would be nice to see some more fully rendered digital paintings from you.
Thanks for the positive comments :-)
Nothing big to show today... but here's a birthdaycard I did for a friend of mine.
I just felt like drawing mutants...
I´m back from a weekend of Pen n paper (DSA/The dark eye).
And I've found out what happens if two paranoid dwarfs think, that a dragon is sitting ontop of a tree.
Evolution continues ;-)
Let's bring in some colour!
Mutants - we all (secretly) love them, don't we?
Search deep in your heart...
I was a littlebit bored at work this week (still hadn't much to do) so I had time to do this skribble. As I had quiet a lot of fun with the battledude painting I decided to do also a serious version of the happy vikings ;-)
Long time no post... and jet I´ve got to show just this small doodle...
Yeah, I know, I know, I´m lack of showing stuff here (But I've got a good reason)
anyway...here's a little something...
I'm sorry that I didn't show anything for quiet a while. I am(/was) very bussy with creating birthday presents, going on vacation and crafting christmas presents. I hope I will find more time to show new stuff more frequently again next year ;-)
THIS artwork was done at office. Our company raffled off a fanpackage - including a handmade artwork matching his favorite game. The winner Rohit Sharma namned "Rocket Island" as his favorite game by our company. So it was up to me to do this artwork, as I did all the graphics for the game.
He received the package quite a while ago. So I won't spoil anything by presenting it now ;-)
sweet monster designs.
hopefully you will be able to post here more often

June 2011 On carrying babies and infants in baby carriers
For newborn babies and small infants the first months of life, nearness and close contact with the parents is very important for bonding within the family. The imitating by the infant of the parents face, mimics, body movements and gestures stimulates the development of the brain. Also talking and singing to the infant from birth onwards is crucial for the selection, growth and establishment of pathways within the brain for these functions and activities.
Carrying the baby face to face in upright position makes all these stimuli easy to provide, and a good carrier also offers a proper support for the babies' body and head. That is necessary the first months of life when the infants neck and back muscles are not strong enough to by themselves support the head and body trunk in the preferred upright position.
Carrying the baby in such way also soothes the baby and support harmony to both parent and infant. We now know that incretion of the hormone oxytocin-"love hormone" - is active in mediating this harmony and bonding in both the parent and the baby.
At the age of 4 to 6 months when the baby has acquired control of head and body support, one can alternate position and intermittently carry the baby looking forward. The baby at this age begin to be more interested also in things in its surrounding and can look around, still in close contact with the parent, who can talk to the baby, point out things and they can experience things in the vicinity together.

This stuff matters but I think it matters more to the state of the overall economy than most individuals.
What I mean by that is that if you are not trying to sell your home or get equity out a decline of some single digit magnitude will not really impact you.
To the extent that homes sales (new and existing) and demand for homes helps drive the economy it is a negative. To draw an analogy of sorts, if there is a recession but you don't lose your job or have your pay cut are you really effected by the recession? Reasonably speaking this is debatable.
I have been expecting a normal recession to come for long enough that when it does come I will not have been accurate as to the timing by any stretch but I expect one to come nonetheless.
The picture is lame I suppose, it is from the Love Shack video. I just paused it and did a screen capture. Oh, well.

Yes, Roger, I note that your e-mail address is missing, though it used to be listed.
Well, you can be sure that WHO gets affected by the recession are those souls that show up on the "jobless" claims that increase every week once the recession ball gets rolled down the hill.
For those who have NOT lost their job, they end up having to worker longer and harder due to the hiring freezes. But at least it is not being put out on the street. - 2:08 PM

B52's huh? Is that some kind of coded message that the market is going to bomb this year? ;-)
I'm still sitting on cash based on the theory that taking market risk this year is not worth any possible upside move.
I heard a fellow tonight on the Nightly Business Report that thinks that the market will end up flat at years end after the dust clears. I think that's about right...if things go right. But if a recession sets in...
"Open bomb-bay doors"
BTW Roger; have you ever gone down to Tucson to see a real B52?

B52s are vintage early 1950s designs retrofitted with some leftover technology and being kept aloft in dwindling numbers using parts salvaged from the scrap heap.
They are used as a bomblet and missile platform, launching from afar to avoid being shot down like a slow duck over contested airspace.

Opposition Research: Minnesota Vikings (W4)
By Holly on Sep 30, 2009 with 6 Comments
Welcome to Opposition Research, where I'll be taking a look at the next Packers opponent, the Minnesota Vikings. I could try to be dispassionate and approach this post like I did the one before it, but you know that's not going to work here. Everyone in the national media is talking about this game – what it means to the Packers, what it means to Brett Favre, what it means to those fans that still can't choose between the Packers and Brett Favre. You get the picture. So for this week, I'm going to do what I can to shed light on a few things you might not have heard about in the hype that's already started.
Coming into this game, the Vikings are…bordering on overconfident, sitting atop the NFC North at 3-0 (buoyed by come-from-behind wins over the playoff-contending Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions). What's more, they're fresh from a game that had fans from both the 49ers and the Vikings posting uber-brief exclamations of "___ ____ Brett Favre." The 49ers had the game all but won when, with 2 seconds on the clock, Favre threw a 32-yard strike to Greg Lewis, after which several things happened all at once: Favre checked off 4th quarter comeback #43 (or did he?); Vikings fans finally accepted Favre as their personal savior; 49ers fans blamed Favre for ruining birthdays; and, the hype for Favregeddon I kicked off with a bang.
The fans at home are…salivating over the possibility of making it to Week 6 without a 100-yd rusher. These particular Vikings bloggers think that the Packers are coming into town with the sole intention of breaking the Vikings' 26 game streak of keeping rushers under 100 yards (Ryan Grant was the last to top 100 yds, in 2007′s 34-0 romp). Really.
Now down from their post-game high, however, some fans are realizing that, were it not for that play, they wouldn't be too thrilled with their QB. Without that play, Favre's passer rating drops from 94.5 to 87.8, and his yards per attempt drop from 6.0 to 5.6. In a game where Favre was finally slinging it around (24 for … did they really throw 46 times?), he had looked like a middling game manager up until that throw (269 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 2 sacks). With Peterson held to 85 yards and the offense held scoreless in the second half to that point, that kind of production doesn't raise confidence in a QB. At least, not until he makes that play. After that play, all is forgiven.
When looking at the Packers on film…Pat and Kevin Williams think they can keep Rodgers in the pocket and make him throw the ball, like they did in last year's Metrodome outing. Also, the Vikings aren't sure yet what to make of the Packers new 3-4 defense. Same players, wildly different scheme. Yes, the Vikings have played the Packers, yes they've played these Packers players, yes they've even played 2 teams with a 3-4 defensive scheme. But they've never played these players in this scheme, and Brad Childress is going to need that extra day to prepare for all the special plays that Capers is cooking up.
Something to chew on…the Vikings did not allow San Francisco to convert a single 3rd down in the game, forcing the 49ers to go a crippling 0-11. Now, before you start worrying about this as a regular thing, they hadn't done it since 12/1998, and ranked 19th on 3rd down conversions in 2008. They had a good game…but it shows that they're capable of, and the Packers (as we know) have struggled to avoid 3rd-and-a-cab-ride situations.
In addition, the Vikings just locked up Pro Bowl CB Antoine Winfield for five more years, in a new deal worth $35 million. Yes, the man is small (5'9″, 190), but according to Andrew Brandt, he's a guy you plan around on game day. Winfield comes into the game with 20 career interceptions, 82 passes defended, and 684 tackles.
"Can I See Off Your Paper?" It's early in the week, and already, people are breaking down the ways that the game could play out. Mike McCarthy thinks Adrian Peterson can be contained (hint, it's about fundamentals and "gap control" – start at 18:30). Pete Dougherty has a great scouting report on the Vikings, as does LeRoy Butler, who highlights the need to:
- blitz on long down-and-distances;
- attack the safeties deep with play action passes and hefty doses of Greg Jennings and Donald Driver; and
- make sure younger players understand this is when the big boys come to play.
Some Vikings fans have graciously identified areas where the Packers can find room to run:
- As they put it, "The pass protection has to get better or Brett Favre is going to die." They let go of aging but hardcore C Matt Birk and gave the position to John Sullivan, a 6th round draft pick in 2008 out of Notre Dame. Yesterday, they shook up the position again by waiving backup C Kory Lichtensteiger and promoting the undrafted Jon Cooper from the practice squad. Like the Packers, the Vikings have other linemen to fill in as needed, but it's clear that the Vikings are worried about protecting Brett Favre. According to some, LT Bryant McKinnie seems slow in his lateral movements, while RT Phil Loadholt is having trouble with discipline. Favre's been sacked 9 times already (4 vs. the Browns, who stood just ahead of the Chiefs at 31st in the stat last year).
- Bernard Berrian, the so-called "downfield threat that leads the deepest receiver corps in the North" might be missing Gus Frerotte's softer throws. He's been absent, though rookie Percy Harvin and ex-Patriot Greg Lewis have been filling in admirably.
- The guys at the Pioneer Press want Childress to get more "creative" on offense. (This is an interesting audio preview of the game.)
- The Vikings have had some trouble covering TEs. (See here and here). Last year, MIN yielded 133 yds to Owen Daniels and 84 yds to Jerramy Stevens. Does this mean we might just see Jermichael Finley finally make his primetime debut?
- Football Outsiders thinks the Vikings left gaping holes downfield to make Shaun Hill look good…Rodgers doesn't need such help. (FO also puts GB and MIN neck and neck in their Week 3 DVOA ratings.)
As far as injuries are concerned, the most significant ailment facing the Minnesota Vikings are the migraines that threatened Percy Harvin before last week's game. Otherwise, they're hale and healthy heading into Monday night.
Parting Shots:
- To no one's surprise, Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre lead off the week's 10 most intriguing players list. Also not a shocker, Rodgers comes in ahead of Favre in one man's QB rankings. In a related note, some people think that this week is all about Aaron Rodgers vs. Brett Favre.
- It's possible this week might be a little emotional for Brett Favre. It's emotional for Packer greats, too.
- Despite that play, fantasy gurus recommend that you not start Brett Favre against the Packers, Corey. They think he might get a little irrational and throw a few interceptions.
- Over at the Journal Sentinal, only Michael Hunt thinks the Packers pull this one out.
- The Vikings players want to win this one for Brett. But they know it's "just another game." Right.
- The Vikings want Minnesota to pay for a third new stadium: "They don't want us to become free agents."

[...] sure to check out Holly's latest Opposition Research over at The Other 31. Full of links and notes, it is your one stop shop to finding out what those [...]
Pretty thorough and enlightening. A few comments:
The game in the Dome last year was not Rodgers' first start; it was his ninth. The opener in Lambeau was his first. I'd also note that, as I've written elsewhere, the Packers had some pretty decent success running the ball against the Vikes in both games last season. In the operner, Grant ran 12 times for 92 yards, while in the rematch in the Dome, he had 16 carries for 75 yards. One might argue that the Packers really ought to have run the ball more in both of those games, particularly the latter one. Seeing as the Vikes got gashed for 129 yards on the grounds by the Lions- and you figure facing a 2d time starter rookie QB, they'd have sold out to stop the run in order to force the Lions to throw- I think the Vikings can be had on the ground, if the Packers are willing to stick with it.
And that ESPN column by Fleming was interesting as well, and worth remembering if only for this quote:
"I mean, from all the coverage after the game I was led to believe that Favre has delivered the same kind of heroic, Goliath-sized gut punch a total of 42 other times. Boy was I wrong. Really wrong. Like, Nickelback is a good band, wrong."
Well, if you had any worries that this could be redundant, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Again, a day (at least) worth of reading, and IMO the best source about our opponent. Kudos again!
Nice job Holly! Good stuff as usual. One thing really scares me more than anything, our O line. Through three games they have been AWFUL. MM needs to change their scheme and have them play to their ability not try to force the ZBS in to a group who obviously cann't play it.
Excellent work Holly!
thats about as much coverage as any person could ask for. Thanks.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was sworn in for his 6th term Monday afternoon.
And in an unusual move, Arpaio requested that his wife Ava administer the oath of office during the ceremony.
The sheriff has made national headlines over the years for the harsh rules in his jails, and more recently, his immigration sweeps.
But on election day, the sheriff promised to forge a better relationship with the Hispanic community. FOX 10's Andrew Hasbun reports.

A new sub and pizza restaurant will bring the East coast to West Chester when it opens in January.
Milano's Atlantic City Submarines plans to open Jan. 13 in the former Marlin & Ray's space at 7701 Voice of America Centre Drive.
The West Chester restaurant will be the Dayton-based chain's fourth restaurant and first location in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Milano's first opened in 1969 on the campus of the University of Dayton and has since expanded to Beavercreek and Montgomery County's Miami Township.
The dine-in, full-service restaurant serves up sub sandwiches, pizza, salads, calzones and craft brews (PDF menu here).
Owner John Slaughenhaupt says Atlantic subs are all about the bread, which the shop bakes fresh daily, in addition to its fresh-baked pizza doughs.
"It's not quite a baguette but it's soft on inside and crusty on the outside," he said.
Crowd favorites include Milano's cheesesteaks, Chicago-style Italian beef and turkey subs sandwiches and its deluxe, BBQ chicken and cheesesteak pizzas.
Subs are offered in whole or half sizes; a whole size is about 13 inches, said Slaughenhaupt. Prices range from about $6 to $8 for a half sub and about $10 to $14 for a whole sandwich. Pizzas start at $6.49 for a small and $12.49 for a large.
The new 6,700-square-foot location will seat 280 and employ about 120, said Slaughenhaupt. The restaurant features flat-screen TVs for sports-viewing and will have 30 taps on site offering mostly craft brews.
Restaurant hours will be 11 a.m. – midnight M-Thurs.; 11 a.m. – 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.
Milano's is conducting on-site interviews between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the new restaurant.
The company has no immediate plans to open additional locations in the Greater Cincinnati area, but Slaughenhaupt said he's not ruling out future expansion in the area.
"We feel Milano's has been a real good Dayton concept that we will translate very well in Cincinnati," he said.

If cutting edge San Francisco can't meet the challenge of climate change and related environmental issues, are we all doomed?
When biologists talk about the health of a fragile ecosystem, they often speak of an "indicator species." That's a critter — a fish, say, or a frog — whose health, or lack thereof, is a signal of the overall health of the system. These days, when environmentalists who think about politics as well as science look at San Francisco, they see an indicator city.
This progressive-minded place of great wealth, knowledge, and technological innovation — surrounded on three sides by steadily rising tides — could signal whether cities in the post-industrial world will meet the challenge of climate change and related problems, from loss of biodiversity to the need for sustainable energy sources.
A decade ago, San Francisco pioneered innovative waste reduction programs and set aggressive goals for reducing its planet-cooking carbon emissions. At that point, the city seemed prepared to make sacrifices and provide leadership in pursuit of sustainability.
Things changed dramatically when the recession hit and Mayor Ed Lee took office with the promise to focus almost exclusively on economic development and job creation. Today, even with the technology and office development sectors booming and employment rates among the lowest in California, the city hasn't returned its focus to the environment.
In fact, with ambitious new efforts to intensify development along the waterfront and only lackluster support for the city's plan to build renewable energy projects through the CleanPowerSF program, the Lee administration seems to be exacerbating the environmental challenge rather than addressing it.
According to conservative projections by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, the Bay is expected to rise at least 16 inches by 2050 and 55 inches by the end of the century. BCDC maps show San Francisco International Airport and Mission Bay inundated, Treasure Island mostly underwater, and serious flooding the Financial District, the Marina, and Hunters Point.
Lee's administration has commissioned a report showing a path to carbon reduction that involves promoting city-owned renewable energy facilities and radically reducing car trips — while the mayor seems content do the opposite.
It's not an encouraging sign for Earth Day 2013.
Last year, the Department of the Environment hired McKinsey and Company to prepare a report titled "San Francisco's Path to a Low-Carbon Economy." It's mostly finished — but you haven't heard much about it. The department has been sitting on it for months.
Why? Some say it's because most of the recommendations clash with the Lee administration's priorities, although city officials say they're just waiting while they get other reports out first. But the report notes the city is falling far short of its carbon reduction goals and "will therefore need to complement existing carbon abatement measures with a range of new and innovative approaches."
Data presented in the report, a copy of which we've obtained from a confidential source, shows that building renewable energy projects through CleanPowerSF, making buildings more energy-efficient, and discouraging private automobile use through congestion pricing, variable-price parking, and building more bike lanes are the most effective tools for reducing carbon output.
But those are things that the mayor either opposes and has a poor record of supporting or putting into action. The easy, corporate-friendly things that Lee endorses, such as supporting more electric, biofuel, and hybrid vehicles, are among the least effective ways to reach the city's goals, the report says.
It doesn't matter if we reduce carbon emissions in San Francisco to ZERO immediately - India and China's surging demand for energy along with the growth of Africa's middle class and its attendant demands for raw materials would render our sacrifice meaningless.
Progressives like Steven can't see the reality of this situation - which is that this is a global problem, a human problem and that without global agreement on this local action is pretty much totally worthless. More bike lanes are not going to stop increasing global temps.
As the article made clear, cities cause climate change and they are where the solutions must come from. The defeatist attitude that San Francisco can't help solve the problem is why it keeps getting worse. As I wrote, we have the wealth, knowledge, and technological innovation to play an important leadership role, yet we're choosing to value short-term economic fears and gains over long-term sustainability. And yes, LS, leadership does involve a series of decisions like completing the bike network on dangerous, unwelcoming roads like that three-block stretch of Oak Street rather than placing such high value on a couple dozen street parking spots.
If we chose to do the right thing, making sacrifices where necessary, and lead, other cites around the world would follow, which is the only way to address this "global problem." Instead, it appears we're going to just wait for China to hopefully do the right thing and follow them, delaying the transformation by decades and taking a huge toll on future generations. Do you have a better plan?
The foremost being that San Francisco knows best and the rest of the world can just follow along.
You haven't addressed the quantitative aspect of what I said which is our emissions are a drop in the bucket and China and India, in particular, have shown ZERO interest in controlling their emissions. Yet there you are, again, banging on about the Wiggle and how that's just so crucial to everything here when in reality that's important to a few alternative white bikers who don't drive anyway - people like you.
Can we not have both? We all do what we can. Fixing the Wiggle will bring more people out of their cars. We "alternative white bikers" do what we can to make our city as green as possible, and we hope and pray that others are working on international levels to deal with the rising energy needs of India and China. It's no good to just give up because the task is so daunting.
That's what. Stop pretending it's altruistic - you want an easier ride so you couch it in the language of "saving the world" when it's not.
You are a douchebag, stop pretending you are not.
@Lucretia Snapples - I would say, rather, that you're making bogus race-based assumptions. San Francisco is home to some of the best environmental justice groups and efforts in the nation, true grassroots efforts led by people of color. They're underreported by the _Guardian_, but that's no excuse to lazily dismiss environmental concern as a white people thing.
The transit system was supposed to sequester carbon as well. But the Transportation Authority says that there is no funding for the $10b in transit improvements required to meet those goals.
"Just building bike lanes," and "Congestion pricing" are like sending a someone with cancer home with aspirin and calling it a day.
and Co's advice on this or on any issue. I wonder how much Steven really knows about the ideology behind McKinsey's and Co's agenda. Hint - it's not designed to encourage participatory democracy or sustainable practices in any industry.
Again - the ends justify the means.
Transpo enviro people are not necessarily progressive or politically left. I'm not one to say that any of identity, race, gender, queer is central to all politics, they all play a role in reinforcing the worst elements of social organization onto politics.
In reading public comment at the TA Transportation Plan CAC on the equity analysis, one pedestrian leader questioned whether we really needed to have any consideration for race or income in transit planning. That's pretty messed up right there.
With an agenda, as all consulting groups have. That agenda is money, money, MONEY.
And its report does a bottom line economic analysis, which is why I would hope that Mayor Lee and other money-oriented local leaders would heed it. For example, its City Carbon Economics Tool shows how bicycle and commercial building energy efficiency programs more than pay for themselves, whereas electric and biofuel vehicles are expensive ways to reduce carbon emissions. Congestion pricing is also expensive, but as the report notes, "It is important to note, however, that the infrastructure for congestion pricing is self-funding and will not be an incremental expense for the city." Yet it will help fund improvements to Muni and discourage reliance on private automobiles, which are both important goals. But has anyone heard a peep of progress on congestion pricing since Ed Lee became mayor?
Right, because one comment obviously tars every possible person who is a transit activist.
Are you really this stupid, or do you troll for a living?
Good news for people who pay attention to actual data:
Climate scientists struggle to explain warming slowdown
By Environment Correspondent Alister Doyle
OSLO | Tue Apr 16, 2013 6:25am EDT
(Reuters) - Scientists are struggling to explain a slowdown in climate change that has exposed gaps in their understanding and defies a rise in global greenhouse gas emissions.
Often focused on century-long trends, most climate models failed to predict that the temperature rise would slow, starting around 2000. Scientists are now intent on figuring out the causes and determining whether the respite will be brief or a more lasting phenomenon.
Figures don't lie, but liars can figure.
The "respite" will be brief, if it ever existed at all.
"Global" solutions begin at home; set an example
to show it can be done.
The Oil Age is over; deal with it!
Climate deniers who deny the scientific fact that the climate hasn't warmed in more than fifteen years should be ostracized, Citizens!
I do deny those who claim to see a pattern in the random, chaotic nature of weather, and especially when they hijack it to further their nihilistic, negative, NIMBY agenda.
SF'ers like to think that but it's largely a myth.
There's more world-changing though, technology and culture coming out of LA and Silicon Valley than emits from conservative, self-satisfied SF.
San Francisco is "cutting edge" in what exactly?
Architecture: No
Any one industry: No
Art world: No
Music: No
We're a medium sized city full of people with tiny minds which fight any measurable change in any direction.
We're a lovely storybook published in the late 50's early 60's and not changed since then.
too many losers and whiners here for SF to achieve anything.
Sadly, SF attracts the less than adequate, who do not fit in anywhere.
can i help you pack?
it is quite easy to ignore all the riffraff.
You can't ignore shit, you're compelled to come here as if your inteventions on an internet chat board against a political movement that by all measures has flat lined demonstrates that.
minority. I can live with that, as I anticipated that.
You seem more angry about that failure than I. I am merely lightly amused by it, and I guess just a tad smug.
The progressive electoral project was coopted by the poverty and health nonprofits and public sector unions who stand down from contesting power and cut deals to prevent others from contesting power under threat of being cut off from the cash.
The leftist idealists sold out, took the money and are now running their constituencies into the ground and getting paid for it.
50s: Beat
60s: Hippies
70s: Gays
80s: Punks
90s: DotCommers
00s: not much
10s: Social Media
Pretty good but (I guess this could pedantic) :
80's: Punks and Goths
90's: DotCommers and Rave & Ambient techno (man I loved that)
00's: not much but also psychic thug culture..did anyone else notice that? Truly sucked.
Dot.commers and social media are economic driven migrations while the previous waves were social driven migrations.
Business is boring, culture is interesting, business destroys culture in order to replace it with "experiences" that can be monetized, "experiences" that are boring.
The sfpuc is unethical and clueless. they want cleanpowersf to send our tax dollars to Shell and with zero build out plan. And the assistant manager, JULIET ELLIS, is a corrupt employee who bullied some non profits to exchange support this clean/dirty power sf program which will raise our electricity bill and send our tax dollars to an oil company.
Paying more for the same thing doesn't tick any boxes for me.
PG&E is already 60% sustainable and I'm comfortable with that commitment.
No, PG&E's energy portfolio is about 30 percent renewable, according to the California Public Utilities Commission, which fined the utility for failing to meet state clean energy standards. Even if you count its nuclear power plant -- which only a fool would call "sustainable" -- you still don't get to 60 percent.
Technically it's not everlasting but it is nothing like burning carbon.
It's clean and green but we might run out of uranium in a few thousand years.
Each of your assertions is wrong. Mining uranium, transporting it, building nuclear plants, and storing the spent rods also release carbon: http://www.nature.com/climate/2008/0810/full/climate.2008.99.html
There's also nothing clean or green about producing waste that will remain lethal for 10,000 years. Uranium itself is also not renewable, and we are near peak production now, rather than have the "few thousands years" worth that you ridiculously claim.
The SFPUC assistant manager needs to quit or get fired! Juliet Ellis, I hope you name will be heard all over the green community.
I never read the SF Weekly website. My strongest initial observation is that the public commentary there is much more constructive than the commentary here.
The openness and anonymity of this site unfortunately lead the discussion to the lowest depths.
Waiting for Adam Smith's "invisible hand" is like waiting for the second-coming of Jesus Christ. Guess which will happen first and consider what the very natural consequences will be?
Without it, you'd have no home, food, power, transport, job etc.
@Guest: Scary things, belief systems: To believe the incredible, unnatural and unthinkable. Even those having acute minds, including scientists who study and analyze data sets can be distracted and deceived.
But there is no harm done, since Adam Smith's metaphor does not require for it's validity that everyone understands it.
God put fossils there to test our faith.
And anyway, man has superceded God.
This commenter apparently believes Adam Smith is God, whose Invisible Hand/Holy Spirit creates everything. And speaking of His Holiness, who warned of the "natural selfishness and rapacity" of the rich, Smith lived well before the time of human-induced climate change and yet was still a proponent of a redistribution of wealth.
As He wrote in Wealth of Nations: "What improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as an inconveniency to the whole. No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable."
So sayeth your Lord, guest, He who works in mysterious ways.

What a disappointment. Pretty ring but the sizing was a joke. I ordered a size 6 but what came was a huge ring with a little "ring" inside, that didn't quite even fit. So it rolled around on my finger. Couldn't they have bothered making actual sizes? I had to return it.

I wore this ring to a wedding two weekends ago,and everyone that saw the ring had to giggle at the its outrageous size and glitter.Everyone thought that it was such a fun ring.My only criticism is that it is bright shiny silver not the dark look it has in the picture online.But it's okay it looks great in the lights in the evening.It certainly added glamour to my black outfit.If you want a fun ring with a big impact,this is the ring.

When I go on vacation, I visit nature centers. It's like an addiction, I can't help it. Part of the reason is because I simply love nature and want to visit places that embody that. Part of it is to get inspired for our exhibits (read "steal ideas"). Part of it is to make me feel good as I compare what we have to other places. But my favorite reason to go to nature centers is to see the people - to watch children press themselves up against the glass of an aquarium. Parents play at nature centers, because nature can awake that inner child. It's okay to stare in awe into a fish tank, or reach in and gently pet the turtles. Even if you're 67, it's OK. That's the allure of a nature center; everyone learns, everyone plays, everyone connects with each other and nature.
There are nature centers scattered throughout the entire world. Staying in touch with nature is not a new idea. Getting kids close to nature is a fundamental learning opportunity that, years ago, made them better farmers, hunters, gatherers, shamans, healers, doctors, scientists, and people. Yes, it made them better people. When you grow up with your dirt-caked bare feet and sun-kissed skin, picking perfectly ripened blackberries and not minding the thorns, you are a better person. I'm not saying that if you don't have those experiences, you're not a good person. Quite the contrary. Everyone seeks connections. Perhaps your connections are best made with other people. Perhaps you connect better with ideas, or animals, or molecules. Everyone connects, somehow, to the world around them. Connections with nature form the basis of a relationship that allows us to survive here.
When was the last time you visited a nature center? When was the last time you visited Audubon? I bet it's changed since you've been here last. I bet you've changed since you've been here last. Has it been for the better? Have you connected more to your world? You should come and visit. Come and sit on our couches, drink coffee and watch the birds at the bird feeders. Remember that question you had a about that tree in your backyard. Laugh, smile, connect. Find a naturalist, ask her. Turn your head as the door opens and a family comes in, the kids tossing their coats on the floor and rushing upstairs to the puppets just as if they were home. See, they come here so often, it is another home. Their shrieks fill the building and the naturalist grins, and tells you their names. Wander through the building, read the signs, get the gumption to peek at the snake (you can do it), marvel at the things you didn't know. Start a little bit as a voice over the loudspeaker excitedly says "Eagle! Eagle over Big Pond! Going west!" and the staff jump towards the window to show you our national symbol soar over the ponds. There are binoculars on almost every windowsill specifically for those moments.

The Nature Center by Missi Adzima.
Submitted photos
Nature centers thrive on connections. They are created by the connections between people and nature and people who love nature. Perhaps you are more like my mother and like nature, as long as it is behind glass. You still breathe air and eat food grown in the earth, and build your house from forest giants or blocks of rock. My parents took me to nature centers and I learned and laughed and connected with what became my passion, my calling, the foundation for my future. I can still see "my" nature center in my head familiar and comforting, though now it has been renovated and doesn't even resemble that magic place of my childhood. I have it in my heart, though, and I'll hold onto that part forever.
Maybe you have to been to Audubon lately. There may still be new things in the building that you haven't seen or that you've missed. Along the trails there are always new things to be seen. The Day Campers brought me a Spiny Oak-Slug caterpillar last week. I had never seen one before! They are incredible, with minute spines resembling crystalline cave structures. And the Luna Moth caterpillars went into their cocoons and their "glue" which adheres them to their branch or bark is like concrete, unbelievably strong. There is always something new to see and learn.
If you're stopping to visit our trails and nature center you can find us at 1600 Riverside Road, located just east of Route 62 between Warren and Jamestown. Our nature center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except for Sundays when we open at 1 p.m. Trails are open dawn to dusk, as is viewing of our captive Bald Eagle Liberty. Come on down and connect in these last few weeks of summer.
Sarah Hatfield is a naturalist at Audubon. She would not be who she is today without nature centers.

A white bathroom can be home to both sleek and vintage furnishingsMay 5 2011 White bathroom fixtures can be offset by natural tones in wood or tile. "Sleek modern fixtures can look at home with curvy traditional cabinetry if you choose them in white and pale neutral tones," according to The Learning Channel's HowStuffWorks.com. "Best of all, the unity provided by white somehow makes everything go together, regardless of how disparate their origins or styles may be." The website features one design that has all white pedestal sinks, a built-in bathtub outlined in subway tiles, wall cabinets and ceiling lights. But the focal point of the bathroom is a stained wood, French country armoire that provides storage in a chic way. A similar effect can be achieved with an old wooden nightstand in the bathroom for storing small towels or toiletries and providing a surface for hand mirrors, candles and accessories. A wicker chair, woven baskets and a sisal rug soften the look of all-white décor and add texture alongside sleek surfaces. A good choice for window treatments in such a bathroom is bamboo woven wood shades, an eco-friendly material that comes in variations of wood color and finishes. The treatment's natural look blends well with soft colors and vintage-style furnishings. Related Products

For a wacky and whip-smart approach to the week's news and newsmakers, listen no further than Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me!, the oddly informative news quiz from NPR.
During each fast-paced, irreverent show, host Peter Sagal leads what might be characterized as the news Olympics. Callers, panelists, and guests compete by answering questions about the week's events, identifying impersonations, filling in the blanks at lightening speed, sniffing out fake news items, and deciphering limericks. Listeners vie for a chance to win the most coveted prize in radio: having official judge and scorekeeper Carl Kasell record the outgoing message on their home answering machine.

A view of of the Oakland Museum of California, which has experienced two thefts in the last two months. (Tim Griffith / January 9, 2013) |
The Oakland Museum of California has suffered its second burglary in two months, with at least one thief making off with items including a valuable historic box.
The missing box is a made of quartz and gold and dates from the Gold Rush era. An Oakland city official told the San Francisco Chronicle that the box, which features ornate decorations, might be worth more than $800,000.
Oakland Museum officials said they are offering a $12,000 reward for the safe recovery of the box.
A statement from museum director Lori Fogarty said the break-in "was a targeted and strategic theft, with the burglar targeting specific items and entering and exiting the Museum very quickly."
In November, the museum experienced a burglary that resulted a number of missing historical artifacts. The Chronicle said that both break-ins occurred on Mondays, when the museum is closed to the public.
The Oakland Museum of California was founded in 1969 and hosts exhibitions devoted to art, history and natural science.

If you're in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macau, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden then you're also in luck! The new iPad launches today in your country!
More →
Apple has confirmed that the second wave of the new iPad rollout will begin Friday, March 23, in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macau, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
There will be no delays as Apple has just confirmed iPad 2 will be available this Friday, March 25 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Just like the US launch, online orders will begin a 1am (they don't say which time zone?) and in store purchases will be available starting 5pm local time.
Steve Jobs dropped the July 30 date for next big rollout during the iPhone 4 press conference but now Apple has gone and made it official:
Beginning this Friday, customers can purchase iPhone 4 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. iPhone 4 will be available for purchase through Apple's retail and online stores and Apple® Authorized Resellers.
Apple announced today that the iPad, already released in the US and scheduled for a wider release internationally in May, will be coming to Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore in July.
No word on pre-orders or pricing yet, but Apple says that's coming at a later date.
If you're in one of those countries -- are you waiting for late July, did you get a US model already, or are you still waiting to be sold on the iPad?
Vodafone has just announced that they will begin selling Apple's iPhone 3G and 3GS in the UK and Ireland in Early 2010.
This comes on the heels of a similar announcement by Orange UK, and means iPhone users across the pond will soon have 3 carriers battling it out for their love and data affection. And hopefully prices will reflect that.
So, UK readers, with O2, Orange, and Vodafone all on the table, who're you going to go with?
The iPhone has now successfully stormed the mobile markets of both the Emerald Isle and the birthplace of the Oak. For those keeping track at home, this brings the official score card to:
As posted (and updated) earlier, O2 has officially launched the iPhone in Ireland, making it the fifth country (after the US, UK, Germany, and France) to enjoy the revolutionary phone and breakthrough internet device... ish...
Apple Insider reports that Irish iPhone plans, unlike all previous iPhone plans DO NOT come with unlimited data or visual voicemail (a feature often touted by Steve Jobs as being a prime example of carrier cooperation and hence, the benefit of exclusivity).
There seems to be two options here:
Current exclusive UK iPhone carrier O2 has apparently confirmed to Pocket-lint (via Engadget) that Apple's finest will be launching on Ireland's emerald shores come March 14th.
As with the UK, the device will sell via O2 Retail and Carphone Warehouse, cashing in at €399 (incl. VAT) for the 8GB or €499 (incl. VAT) for the 16GB, with rate plans starting at €45.

Bacalao salt cod is a favorite across Spain, and is enjoyed in dozens of ways depending on the region. Far south in Huelva a favorite way to serve cod is in tiny crispy fritters, about the size of a pancake. They are crunchy, savory and addictive! Perfect with a cool glass of white wine or chilled dry sherry. These tortillitas are made by hand, with bacalao mixed into a light batter of wheat and garbanzo flour, plus onions and parsley. The tortillitas are quickly cooked in olive oil, then flash frozen, ready to be finished in your kitchen. To bake, preheat oven to 400° F and cook for 8-9 minutes. To fry, heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook the tortillitas until they are hot and crispy. Enjoy an authentic flavor of Spain rarely found outside of Andalucia!

Carol S. - CAMDEN, New Jersey "Absolutely delicious. I prepared them using the oven method according to the package which calls for turning them over and letting them bake for 8-9 minutes more. I also lined my pan with parchment. Quite a bit of oil comes out in the process so I drained them on a paper towel. Sprinkled with lime juice--crispy and, as Tienda says, "addictive". So glad that I ordered these!!"

I keep thinking I want to make a model in Sketchup for the town but I can't seem to take the time for it. Plus I learned 3D in 3DS Max so if it's not Max I have a hard time using it. It's what I got used to using, I guess.
Too many ideas and not enough time.
Though I think I am going to do a WIP thread on my aerial view mapping method, just as soon as I am not at work and not dealing with a feverish child.

TomTom Car Kit for iPhone goes for a spin
We got our hands on TomTom's Car Kit for iPhone and took it for a spin--both figuratively and literally, the cradle spins 360 degrees.
The Car Kit holds and charges your iPhone while driving, enhances GPS reception when used with TomTom's turn-by-turn navigation app, and boosts audio quality of spoken directions and hands-free calls. However, the problem with a peripheral like the TomTom Car Kit is that when it's working best, you don't notice it, which makes it difficult for many users to justify the $119 price. People may be less likely to buy it when … Read more

Well mine was the "definitive" one so I am not sure how that ranks against ultimate.
Best: Worst: Starting rank: Obviously, since you're the first to post, you get #1! How long can you stay at number 1 though?...
Best: Worst: Starting rank: #1 - but again, how long will that last?!
Best: Worst: Starting rank: #2 ... but will it last?
They'd have to have MM portfolios and post in this thread to find out... Did you want to be ranked? Leaving you off for now.
Best: Worst: Starting rank: For now, you take over the #2 spot
Remind me to delete that picture after this hahha ;D Thank you!
Best: Worst: Starting rank: #5
Best: (sadly your real best is 18+ by a slight nipple slip) Worst: Starting rank: #3 (and while your ranking might drop, you won't end up last...)
No, to keep the ranking and scores consistent, I can't allow entries to be removed. If someone deletes a photo I chose from their portfolio, my link to it will 404, but that entry will stay in the rankings, and I'll continue to compare new entries to it (I keep a private copy of the full-size). Best: Worst: Starting rank: Straight in at #1!
Best: Worst: Starting rank: A surprise (for me) #2!
Best: Worst: Starting rank: #6
Argh - my own fault - I've known I should ditch that 2nd image hiding at the bottom of my portfolio for awhile now. --> EDIT: Can I get rid of it on a technicality?? If you look closely there is a bare breast with nipple showing.
Best: Worst: Starting rank: #4
Sorry, as I explained to jesse paulk above, I can't change the entries once chosen.

Isidore Nadas and Andras Molnar have convened to pack up their paints and lay low for awhile after their latest tagging adventure was tipped off to the police. Beni Laczko and Eric Hanner arrive to help with the move, but their chiseled forms are just too much distraction for Isidore and Andras to ignore. The four men engage in a lusty celebration of the flesh, servicing each other in a sultry succession of positions and pairings until each muscled stud is soaked and satisfied.

Juicing - The Key to a Vibrant and Healthy Life
You've watched Hungry For Change and you've heard all the latest tips and strategies for healthy weight loss, including juicing and in particular green vegetable juicing. I'm guessing you would now like to know how to best incorporate this into your diet and lifestyle.
One of the best ways to stay on track with juicing is to learn more about how juicing can benefit your health. Kris Carr, Jason Vale, Mike Adams, Dr Mercola and Joe Cross in Hungry For Change are all passionate advocates of juicing daily and here's their reasons why:
- Juicing allows us to take in a large serving of vegetables and fruits at one time and can be the key to giving you a radiant, energetic life and truly optimal health. Dr Mercola typically buys up to 20 pounds of raw vegetables per week and juices a few pounds per day. Some people may find eating that many vegetables difficult, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.
- Juicing is an easy way to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body's ability to absorb all the nutrients in an optimal way. Juices go straight to your blood stream which in turn carries all the nutrients to where they are needed the most by the body without further delay as in digestion.
- Juicing can help you add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet. Many people eat the same vegetable salads every day. This goes against the principle of regular food rotation and increases your chance of developing an allergy to a certain food. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole.
- Juicing is also an incredibly effective way to cleanse the body, especially green juices! Green juices contain high levels of chlorophyll a powerful phytonutrient which attaches to toxins and heavy metals and helps remove them from your body. It also increases your blood's oxygen-carrying capacity by stimulating red blood cell production.
Some of our most favorite and simple Green juice recipes include:
- Celery, lemon and apple
- Celery, cucumber, lemon and apple (or pear)
- Celery, cucumber, kale, lemon and apple (or pear)
- Celery, cucumber, lemon, parsley and apple (or pear)
- Celery, cucumber, lemon, fennel, parsley and apple (or pear)
Remember keep the focus on getting as much greens as possible. Having sweeter fruit juices is ok but just not in excessive amounts.

Featured Teacher: Jason Vale
Jason learnt from his own health issues just how much one can benefit from juicing daily. He suffered from psoriasis, eczema, insomnia, asthma, hay fever and was also a heavy drinker and smoker. After adding in a couple of juices per day he began to notice dramatic changes in himself, seeing a fast improvement in his health! His body was finally getting what it needed. His 7-day juicing program has allowed him to see many others heal their bodies too!
"Juicing has changed my life beyond all recognition" says Jason. "I used to smoke 40-60 cigarettes a day; I liked to drink and was more that partial to the odd bit of junk food, and as a result, I was also fat. On top of that I had severe Asthma to the point where I had to use the blue and brown inhalers and was having 10-16 puffs a day on them. I also developed eczema, mild acne, bad hay fever, and very, very, severe Psoriasis. In short, I wasn't exactly in the best of health and my energy levels were often right through the floor.
I am now in the fortunate position of being free from smoking, drinking and junk food. My Asthma has vanished, my eczema and acne have gone my Psoriasis has cleared by over 90% and I am no longer overweight. In fact, on the health front I'm one happy camper! I am now also lucky to be able to help people who find themselves in a similar position to the one I was in."

Earlier this summer the White House and Congress agreed on legislation that would permit sales of American food and medicine to Cuba for the first time in twenty-eight years. Some conservatives have opposed this deal because they think it will prop up one of the last remaining communist regimes. In reality, however, this legislation is a moral victory that should help achieve Pope John Paul II's desire for Cuba to "open itself up to the world, and … the world to open itself up to Cuba."
Everyone, except perhaps the National Council of Churches, knows it is true that Cuba has a terrible human-rights record. Americans are reluctant to appear to "reward" Fidel Castro, especially as it is also true that Mr. Castro's communist policies have done more to harm his country's economic situation than have United States sanctions. However, the recent and intellectually productive debate over trade with another country–China–has driven home the point that human-rights problems in totalitarian countries are not best addressed through sanctions and protectionism. Open trade and cultural exchange create greater opportunities for the monitoring of such societies by outsiders, even as increased prosperity empowers the victims of oppressive governments to stand up for their rights.
The hypocrisy in treating Cuba and China differently should be apparent. People on the left have argued against trade with China, while saying that trade with Cuba is a moral necessity. Those on the right contend that trade with China is crucial to improving human rights there, yet they refuse to contemplate the loosening of sanctions against Cuba. Any linkage of morality and economics requires a consistent application of the principle that trade and human rights reinforce each other. Sanctions are not only economically damaging, they are also politically counterproductive and morally dubious.
In my visits to both China and Cuba, I never encountered a citizen who hoped for less–as opposed to more–contact with the United States. No one ever came up to me and whispered, "Please retain sanctions against us. They help us fight against the human-rights violations of our government." On the contrary, most victims of these harsh governments believe that dealing with United States companies, as well as having them set up shop in their countries, will actually have a liberating influence on the lives of ordinary people. Cubans and Chinese fervently desire to have more exchange with Americans at every level, whether it takes the form of tourism, trade, or technology.
While some politicians predict that trade with Cuba will make life worse for ordinary Cubans, it is hard to take such predictions too seriously. The Cuban people have endured great hardship for four decades, both from the oppressive policies of the Castro regime and from the effects of external sanctions. Opening trade relations–or, at the very least, permitting an inflow of food and medicine–actually holds out the prospect of breaking a long-running impasse. There are many issues to be worked out, of course. However, the fact remains that in Cuba, as in China, free trade gives hope to the people who suffer the most from governments that violate human rights.
