Why are cars updated yearly?
It seems kind of stupid to release a different version every year instead of making a model once, say every five years. I can understand why in electronics there's a new model every year: because Moore's law, the stuff is getting better so much faster. But when cars of today look, feel, and perform the same as they did 5 years ago...why fragment the market? Is it just greed? Too many people profit off of this 1950s business model of different proprietary parts and maintenance? The expected life of a car nowadays is 10 years/150k miles and yet they release an update on a yearly basis for the thousands of different models on the road like we're going to throw our "old" car away right after a new one comes out.
Can someone explain this to me?

Adam Brooks Dudding has been a performing songwriter for more than 20 years. He's been cultivating his talents as a guitarist, vocalist, and lyricist while picking up good habits along the way like always surrounding himself with extraordinary people whether as band members, co-writers, artists, or hall-of-fame songwriting mentors.
Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio on a healthy diet of blues, bluegrass, rock'n'roll and country music, Dudding has called Nashville, TN home since 2006. He moved to Music City to open himself up to the disciplined art of the Co-Write; until that point he had been writing songs only on his own. Since then he's written songs with hit-songwriters and talented up-and-comers alike, forging great new material with amazing practitioners including Mark Irwin, AJ Masters, Leith Loftin, Jon Pardi, Charlie Pate, Chris Henry and many, many more. After landing a job at Nashville's world famous Bluebird Cafe, a mecca for songwriters, he got to meet, listen to, and learned from some of the very best in the business almost every night of the week for several years straight.
A producer as well, Dudding has recorded and released 5 independent albums since 2001 and is currently preparing material for his 6th album due out early Fall 2014. He's taken his music on the road to help promote his new records and has performed hundreds of shows at clubs, theaters and festivals in over 20 U.S. States (so far) including international performances in Shanghai, China. Along the way he's opened for artists like Alabama, Junior Brown, Todd Snider, Railroad Earth, The Deadstring Brothers, Poor Man's Whiskey, Sons of Bill and more.
Some may have seen Adam Brooks Dudding performing with his jamband Flying Blind on college campuses throughout Ohio in the early 90's; or heard his band Bucktown Kickback playing on Americana Radio stations while touring throughout the Midwest and Southeast in the 2000's; or saw him perform a sold-out show at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville; or some may have even caught the NPR story about The Shanghai Newgrass Project, a group he co-founded and performed with throughout Shanghai from 2012-2013 along with co-founder Tom Pang, a bluegrass mandolin and fiddle player from Inner Mongolia. Regardless, wherever Adam Brooks Dudding is living or traveling to at any given moment, most likely he'll be found performing his well-crafted, rootsy songs on a well-lit stage nearby.
"Sliding easily from Bluegrass to Country to a rootsy Americana at the drop of a wide-brimmed hat…The country palette of the Grateful Dead, The Roots Pop spark of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band."
CITYBEAT, Cincinnati, OH
"Sporting heavy doses of bluegrass drive and fleet-fingered chops, plenty of tear jerking honky-tonk, a sprinkle of rock swagger and singer-songwriter flair, and Dudding's love of narrative songwriting and easygoing melodies…Blurring the lines between Americana, jamgrass, honky-tonk and roots rock…Fans of artists such as The Gourds, Yonder Mountain String Band, the Grateful Dead and Whiskeytown will find plenty to cheer about in his songs and eclectic-but-focused style"
HIGH COUNTRY PRESS, Boone, NC
"Dudding and his Ace Americana band…smart, rootsy"
THE TENNESSEAN, Nashville, TN
"Dudding (singer, songwriter and creative force behind Bucktown Kickback) produced much of the band's 2nd disc 'Lost In Your Hometown' to sound like prime Appalachia. The record effectively balances roots grit and country rock coherence. "Seven Number Blues" is an enlightened redneck tune that sounds like a "Basement Tapes" leftover. "That's Life" is a slow burn of honky-tonk molasses. A Neil Young-type rocker, "A Shooting Star," closes the record. But at the heart of the record is Dudding's songs and lived-in vocals. While the embellishments are tasteful, the material could stand up fine presented by Dudding and his acoustic."

The winning numbers of the jackpot were 5, 23, 16, 22, 29. The Powerball was 6.
Two winning tickets were sold for the record $580 million Powerball jackpot. Unfortunately, no one in Nebraska won it. The 2 lucky winners purchased their tickets in Arizona and Missouri.
The winning Powerball numbers have been picked and no one in the state won the record millions, but that doesn't stop Michael Sorresso thinking about all that money. "You always fantasize about winning the lottery. I mean everyone does. Why would you not? I mean half a billion dollars is a lot of money," Sorresso said.
If ticket sales are an indication, most of us have been fantasizing about Powerball riches. Lottery officials say tickets were flying out of stores at a rate of 131,000 every minute. Out of all of those sold, 2 winning tickets were purchased. Lindsay Hawkins said she'd "freak out" if she had won. "A panic attack would definitely happen. I'd probably be really excited. Definitely go out that night and by everyone drinks," Hawkins said.
No Nebraskans were lucky enough to take the top prize, like the 8 ConAgra workers back in 2006. But let's just say you were lucky enough to buy that winning ticket. Hawkins said she'd give a lot of it away. "Give my family money. I would definitely donate money and then invest," Hawkins said.
So, don't be too sad you didn't win. You'd have been 25 times more likely to win an academy award or 3 times more likely to die from a falling coconut. Hopefully, those facts make you feel a little better about losing the record jackpot.

All Customer Reviews for "Scorpion EXO-900 Snow Helmet - Matte Black"
Average Customer Rating:
Write a review and share your thoughts with others.
Reviewer: Jesse (Horace, ND) 11.5.2013
Good, but...
Shipping was very quick. However helmet was received with a 1" crack in the rear molding that says DOT on it. It doesn't effect the way it fits though. Also, the manual says it should have come with the 3/4 visor, which it did not. Otherwise the helmet looks very good and fits well.
Reviewer: Jim Somers (Victor, NY) 3.4.2012
Very customer oriented
I purchased a snowmobile helmet recently from Helmet City. I was very pleased at how responsive they were to helping me find a helmet that was just right. I ended up ordering several to get the right fit. Each time I was given a free return shipping label so that I could send the helmet back that did not fit. After several tries I got the one that was just right. Shopping on line and not being able to try something on for the correct size can be difficult, They made this process extremely easy and at no extra cost to me. Their prices are the best I found and coupled with the great service you can't go wrong.

[B]57 Reasons Not To Mow 41 Ways To Help Trees 25 ways to stop fires[/B]
[b][i]Nonmowing turns empty lotsthrough time into forestsSometimes the most powerful actions involve inaction[/b][/i]
Ron Howard, director of A Beautiful Mind and many other films,made his first film at age 8.. an anti mowing film which showed the nature of mowers' attacks on lawns.
In 2003 through now, the world has seen drought, floods, famine, fire, mudslides, hurricanes, tornados and other disasters created by the unprecedented destruction of trees around the world. Trees are nature's weather stabilizers. We need trillions of trees.. new trees.
UN agencies have said reduced or ended lawnmowingand treecutting will slow down global heating. The 1990'sEPA published legal briefs available without cost to those fighting compulsory mowing ordinances. Highway departments have found that bushes are better than mowedmedian strips.
The government of Thailand has banned logging.
[url]http://www.epa.gov/greenacres[/url] [url]http://www.nrdc.org/[/url](not in the order of importance)In the last few years the EPA has joined theenvironmental groups promoting nonmowing. Their site ishttp://www.epa.gov/ .. type in 'natural landscaping' in search tobring upmany sites. The Green Party [url]http://www.greens.org/[/url] and many Libertarians also support nonmowing. In June of 2002, NPR reported that the Congressional Black Caucus has a better record than either white Democrats or white Republicans in environmental issues.[B]I: ENVIRONMENTAL (THE REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTALMANIPULATION)[/B]]1. [b]REFORESTATION [/B]When one stops mowing, land becomes meadow and then thicket and then woods. reforesting the world.2. [B]OXYGEN CREATION[/B] This extra greenery creates oxygen. The average tree creates 5 pounds of oxygen daily.3. [B]AIR PURIFICATION [/B] More greenery purifies the air through leaf filtration a.particulate matter b. car fumes c. noxious gases d. other airborn toxins. Removal of carbon dioxide by plants ameliorates pollution.4. [B]TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION TO OFFSET GLOBAL WARMING [/B] Warms the world's winters and cools the summers. There is a 50 degree difference between 70 degree equatorial rainforest and 120 degree desert. Each blade of grass is a little air conditioner. A world without drought, flood, famine, freezes, and killer heat can be eliminated by literally covering the world with trees.5. [B]RAIN INVOCATION [/B]Greenery calls down rain. Bayard Webster of the NY Times wrote that each mature tree evaporates 40 gallons of moisture daily (much greater amounts for older trees.) All greenery is involved in the raincycle.The drought and consequent starvation in N. Korea was related to the cutting of nearly all trees for fuel. 6. [B]DEW PRESERVATION[/B] More plants preserve dew. Not only do greenspires and leaves act as masts around which dew can gather, but the more greenery the longer the dew lasts.7. [B]NOISE BUFFERING[/B] Leaf volume weaves a noise buffer which screens out unpleasant traffic8.[B] NOISE PREVENTION [/B]Ends the peace-fracturing sound of the lawnmower. Some communities have noise ordinances which prevent mowing during normal sleeping hours.9. [B]VISUAL BEAUTY[/B] Multiplies the beauty of diversity10. [B]FRAGRANCE [/B]Multiplies the fragrance in the air.11.[B] HEALING GREEN[/B] Nonmowing creates optical healing bycreating more greenery. Research has proven that looking on the jadeand forest greens reduces heartbeat and creates peace.12. [B]LANDFILL ECONOMY[/B] Letting lawns grow wild reduces pressure onlandfills..by not adding leaves to overburdenedsystems (and saves the fuel and wages of collectionreleasing workers for the labor of their hearts). (NPR Sept 1:methanegases leach from landfill through water into basements) As the worldevolves away from treekilling, sawdust piles which are a byproductof the lumber industry will be removed, making the earth safer forchildren.13. [B]FUEL CONSERVATION[/B] Conserves fuel a. unused inunused mowersb. As evergreen trees break cold winter winds andshroud dwellings they are natural insulation.14. [B]HYDROCARBON REDUCTION[/B] Prevents hydrocarbon moweremission from polluting the air. Many media outlets are passing ontheEPA recommendation that lawns not bemowed when there is great humidity and heat. Hydrocarbons createozonealerts.15. [B]CARBON DIOXIDE[/B] Greenery which takes in carbondioxide and breathes out oxygen reduces gases toxic to humans.15a. METHANE GAS and toxic gases are purified by leaf action.16. [B]TORNADO PREVENTION [/B]Unstable heat is the mainfactor in tornados. Greenery which reduces the temperature 30 degreesin forest areas prevents tornados.17. [B]MUDSLIDE PREVENTION[/B] The roots of living plantsabsorb great amounts of water and prevent mudslides.18. [B]FLOOD PREVENTION[/B] A. On river banks and everywhere, tree, plant, bush,and vine roots are flood preventers. As David Kidd of Canton, planterofmore than a million trees has stated, the bigger and older the treethemore work it does. (The 900 year old oaks with their huge diametersare a lot more precious to Mother Earth than skinny young trees.[url]http://www.freetree.org/[/url] B. Ohio Public Radio David C. Barnett Sept 9th: reported on reductionof impervious surface by reducing concrete and addinggreenery. (The hard asphalt, concrete, and rooftops create morerunoff and flooding.) C. Bricks and stones in roads are better for theenvironment than are concrete and asphalt. They allow rain through the inter-brick space and have less blistering heat. Angel strips not devilstrips (Planting grape trellises over highways re-greens theearth and creates food.)19. [B]DESERTIFICATION PREVENTION[/B]Only reforestation canprevent desertification. This is the conclusion of Patrick Velasquezof US Agency For International Development and most other environmentalists. We used to think a pine cone was one seed, but apparently it is hundreds.20. [B]CHEMICAL POLLUTION REDUCTION[/B] Radio network show Public Interest October 7 featuring Rodale author: Chemically treated lawns are grass high on drugs.: Fertilizer has toxic byproducts forthe land and water. Rodale, Emmaus Pennsylvania, USA 18049 is oneleader in the organic movement.21. [B]FASTEST CLEANUP OF TOXIC DUMPS[/B]Green island sanctuaries of unmolested plants,insects, and wildlife are a protection against the biotechmanipulationsof the environment.22. [B]WATERSHED PROTECTION[/B] The more greenery, plants, vines, trees, and bushes..the more the watershed, reservoirs, and lakes and ponds, brooks andstreams are protected.a. Arsenic is a byproduct of the pressed woodindustry. Arsenic is poisonous in the waters, and likeother industrial pollutants such as mercury, chromiumand polychlorinated biphenols is concentrated in the flesh of fishes.[url]http://www.nofishing.net/[/url] [url]http://www.pcrm.org/[/url] [url]http://www.ivu.org/[/url]23. [B]BIODIVERSITY [/B]Nonmowing or letting God be the landscaper createsbiodiversity and its many benefits (and benefirs) rather thanmonoculture. (Loggers last year caused the death of David Chain,Earth First tree activist. Write efmc@a... or call 707 923 2114Andy Caffrey)24. [B]FIRE PREVENTION [/B]In March of 2001, widescale drought in the NW had been reported. Destruction of greenery is one cause of this. Trees'evaporation is necessary in cloud formation. Fires have destroyed untold tens of thousands of square miles of green beings and resident animals.25. [B]FREE FOOD[/B]Fruit and nut trees with grape and bean vines spaced among the trees can yield 450,000 lbs. per acre. (Animal flesh yields a maximum 100 to 1000 pounds per acre.) Ted Steinberg writes that in the US alone an area the size of Floridais devoted to unproductive lawns.26. [B]WATER CONSERVATION[/B]: Unmowed areas do not need watering.. they are self contained systems. Nor do they need recycling. Most lawnsare watered for growthand then the growth is cut anddiscarded.27. [B]INSECTICIDE AND HERBICIDE PREVENTION:[/B] Carpet lawn enthusiasts pollute the environment with insecticides and herbicides in some cases.
1. [B]FEEDING THE HUNGRY: FOOD CREATION[/B] Prevents famineby giving a cornucopia of free food to the planet Orchards are 450times as productive per acre as slaughterhouses..Dr. Faust,former chief of the USDA Fruit Labs, cited centenarian orchards ofapple trees dropping two tons each of food. This is 400,000 lbs peracreas compared to 100 to 1000 lbs of food for meat, 10,000 lbs fordairy, 80,000 lbs. for acre. The 400 to l ratio is only the firststep. Trilevel agriculture.. with bean and other vines around thetree trunks and other foodyielding plants in the interarborealspaces.. yield even more. This also can be multiplied by those areaswhich have 2 or 3 growing seasons..e.g. Southern California. Becausecertain economic systems promote scarcity based profit, these orchardsystems have been deemphasized.2. [B]PREVENTION OF DEATH AND INJURY [/B]2a. Prevents in the U.S. alone, 75,000 accidents and some fatalities annually caused bymowers and harvesters, and around the world millions of accidentseliminated. NPR reported May 17, 2002 that tractor rollovers are the leading cause of death among farmers, and that farming in general is the 2nd most hazardous occupation (after commercial fishing).2b. Ravines are generally more protected from mowing,as there is wider recognition of the danger of mowing.2c. When grass is mowed on hillsides, when wet orexceedingly dry it can cause slipping accidents.2d, There have even been drowningsfrom lawnmower accidents as teensand adults drop into unseen septictanks.2e. One of every 5 lawnmower ormachine harvester deaths, saysthe Consumer Product SafetyCommissions, involves a child.3. [B]PREVENTION OF HEART ATTACKS[/B] As non shoveling of snow can prevent winter heart attacks nonmowing can sometimes prevent summer ones.4. [B]FREEDOM [/B]Health departments are reducing the forcedcrewcutting of lawns and the rending ofMother Nature's garments . See below for further info.5. [B]EMPTY JAILS [/B]Saves money otherwise spent on jailing people (seeabove)6.[B] PRIVACY[/B] Creates a privacy screen. Ways to avoidgrass (a transitional plant unless land is constantly mowed) includea. pachysandra b. myrtle and other ground cover c. grape vinetrellises d. evergreen trees and shrubs as natural fences e.berry bushes as natural boundaries.7. [B]HERBAL REMEDIES[/B] Nonmowing allows healing extracts and seeds to flourish, e.g. milkthistle seeds, which regenerate cirrhosis-afflicted livers. The active ingredient is silymarin. (Herbology studentembyrne@s... is a non mower) Work against those who seek to patentthe world's pre-existing seeds. [url]http://www.purefood.org/[/url] (see Monsantofile.)8. [B]KEEPS WASPS FRIENDLY [/B]prevents wasp stings and hiveattacks as their homes are destroyed.9. [B]ECONOMICS[/B] a. saves money otherwise spent on fuel b. Saves money otherwise spent on young trees.c. Fruit trees ave money spent on food. d. Free up lawnmower crews to do create withtheir time. e. For that minority who hire lawn crews, moneyis saved. Seth Godin says 17 billion a yearis spent on lawnmowing expenses.10.[B] TIME ECONOMY [/B]frees human time hours for enjoyablepriorities a. no gas procurement time, no mowing time, no rakingtime.11.[B] AMERICAN HERITAGE[/B]: The Native American culturenever spent time mowing Mother Earth. Her green cover is her garment.Lawn mowing is a fairly recent thing. The original lawn mowers weresheep and other animals later slaughtered for their flesh. The TimeLifeGardening Yearbook mentions the 'chipped monotypiclayer of bluegrass', the crewcut which is called alawn. Other ecologists speak about the hazards of monoculture.12. [B]FREE CONCERTS [/B]Cicadas and crickets will give freeconcerts, as will woodpeckers, songbirds whose habitats are restored.Fireflies will put on silent fireworks. Buttercupswill save chalices of dew for butterflies who in turn will coolthe earth with the slight breeze from their fanning wings.13. [B]WEED KILLER OR HERBICIDE[/B] use (Diane Rehm Show Sept1) causes childhood and other environmental pollutant basedcancers. Some leaches into the water system. Some is directly smearedonto skin.14.[B] INSECTICIDE BASED CANCERS:[/B] Insecticides weredeveloped as weapons in WW 2. At the end of the war, chemicalcompanies wanted new markets. These insecticides cause cancer. (NPRSept 1) Animal products concentrate insecticides at 21 times theintensity they occur in fruits and vegetables, since a 1000 lb.cow ate 21,000 lbs. of food with nondegradable insecticides remainingin the muscle cells.15. [B]PREVENTION OF ASTHMA[/B]While the chief physical cause of asthmais the mucus lining in the respiratorytract created by meat, fish and dairyproducts and the prime spiritualcause is fear or emotional stress,land allowed to grow graduallyinto fields and then thickets andfinally woods provides less pollen.16.[B] HEALING:[/B] Studies of recovering gall bladder patients reveal that those looking on a garden heal faster than those not. (BJ 6 6 2000) There are now herbal therapists at Univ of Kansas, Rutgers, Texas A&M, and Virginia Tech. Those who look on living green have reduced blood pressure. The plant yarrow makes children in its proximity less agressive within a few moments. An ancient vedic parable says that to be healed one should look upongreen. Rather than paint the world that color, a sage says'put on green glasses'. (The best green glasses are living in an environment of green.)(Plant rights advocates to not supportthe killing of plants for herbs.)17. [B]PREVENTION OF GUN ACCIDENTS[/B]There has been at least one shootingcaused by an irate reaction tothe noise of the lawnmower.(Above are reasons 19 through 36)18. [B]PREVENTION OF MENTAL ILLNESS[/B]Is it a form of control freakdomto want to mow down what Godgreengrows? 19[B]. PREVENTION OF NEIGHBOR FIGHTS[/B]Countless fights have been caused when someone's mower cuts downhis neighbor's flowers or shrubs.20. [B]HERBICIDES [/B]used by ChemLawnand other lawn treatment companiesare poisoning the earth's waters,causing cancer deaths to people,animals, fishes, and plants.21.[B] BOREDOM [/B] Lawns are boring.
1. [B]WILDLIFE HABITAT[/B] Reprovides a home for wildlife,both those not endangered and those which are.Keeps birds from flying away when the power motors are started.2 [B]ANIMAL RIGHTS: MACHINE HARVESTERS SHRED MANY MAMMALS PER ACRE [/B] Protects insects, redwinged blackbirdsand other living creatures nesting in ground cover, and preventsthe mastication deaths of millions of small field animals chewed up in harvesters.. (Sometimes the tiny feet of these animals can be seen in cans of food.) In Numbers 22, God causes a donkey to speak about the beatings of her human 'owner'.Along Lake Michigan in parts of Chicago are new signs indicating not mowing is done to give birds long grasses in which to nest.3 [B]PRESERVE WILDLIFE FOOD SUPPLY[/B]: Not removing acorns leaves food for squirrels and other wildlife during the winter as well as providing new sapling oaks in the spring. Not removing leaves provides more thermal shelter for northern animals.4. [B]SONGBIRDS ATTRACTED TO WILD AREAS.[/B]..............[I]James Marcus: Dandelions: they must be God's favorite flower for He plants them everywhere.[/I]
1 [B]PLANTS' RIGHTS[/B] Protect the rights of sentient plants whose feelings have been documented by Dr. Chandra Bose, knighted by the Queen of England for his laboratory measurement of plant consciousness. Other scientists who have proven or written of plant consciousness ares are Clive Baxter, Luther Burbank, The Secret Life Of Plants writers,, the owner to whose rights, Isaac Tigrett, sold all the Hard Rock Cafes he founded after becoming a vegetarian. [url]http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Canyon/8397/tigrett.html[/url]Pachysandra, myrtle, snow on themountain,and camomile are some ground covers which do not offend moreconservative neighbors.2: [B]WILDFLOWER SANCTUARY[/B] Those like Lady Bird Johnsonwho have worked to foster protection of wildflowers know thenecessityof more wild places.3: [B]ENDING BOTANICAL RACISM[/B] E.Woodford spoke to poster of botanical racism. This phrase means different things to different people. To us it means that weeds have as much right to exist as do plants with cultivated blooms.The spirit-filled volunteers called weeds are usually stronger, more and more prolific than cultivated plants.4[B].

In an editorial on March 19, 1977, the Washington Post editorialized:"the tall grass can only benefit the citizens who seek the beauty of Rock Creek Park". That year the National Park Service instituted a 'meadows' program to let some areas return to nature. The Post mentioned the federal court casevictory of an Akron citizen who fought the city's compulsory lawnmowing ordinance. "Nature is ready to cooperate.Some citizen cooperation is next." In addition the Post's Richard Cohen reported on a lawn mowed by a guinea pig named Bijou.Phil Shenon of the New York Times has covered no-mow activists such as Alice Herrington, then president of Friends of Animals. The BBC, NPR, and Australian Broadcasting are someinternational networks which have covered theadvantages of nonmowing. The Los Angeles Times also editorialized in favor of not mowing. The Atlanta Constitution outlined reasons not to mow in an article by Lewis Regenstein. Omni Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, Organic Gardening, Anita Manning of USA Today, Vegetarian Times, OMNI magazine, German newspapers, and many other publications have promoted the idea of nonmowing. Patrick Velasquez of the US Agency For International Development studied Senegalese forest. He said the cost of planting other country exotics there was $25 to $50 per tree,with 19% survival rate whereas natural regeneration (which occurs from nonmowing) is free. The USDA in 1998 has signed onto the National Wildlife Federation's Backyard Conservation plan.. which encourages people to let the area behind their homes grow wild for the sake of the environment. Even these corporate media and hunting promotion groups are promoting the environment. 'Corn on the curb' is anincreasingly visible thing.
[B]41 WAYS TO HELP TREES[/B]Why is the area of most heat and light, the equator, only 70 degrees in equatorial rainforest and 130 degrees intemperate zone desert? Trillions of Trees. Trees as nature's weatherstabilizers, trees, accounting for a 60 degree difference betweenrainforest on the equator and temperate zone desert, have been felledat an unprecedented rate. Harming trees causes fire, flood, famine,tornado and hurricane. 29 ways to help trees:1. plant trees Work for city, state, country and UN tree plantinghttp://www.freetree.org/ 2. stop mowing [url]http://stopmowing.blogspot.com[/url][url]http://www.nrdc.org/These[/url] websites have files on not mowing3. eat tree products.. fruits and nuts.. say yes to orchard growers[url=http://spot.acorn.net/fruitarian]http://spot.acorn.net/fruitarian[/url]4. build with stone stucco brick and block not wood. You will a.prevent termite destruction nonviolently, b save the $,time, and environmental damage of paint, c have natural insulationwith its energy savings, d. prevent rotting woode. have better insulation in summer & winter f. end thedisease related to living near the mold from rotting wood g.reduce the arsenic in the watersystems, flowing in from pressed wood factories and h. have increasing rather than decreasing equityin your home. Use natural barriers such as bushes, or chain link,rather than wood fencing. [url]http://www.greenpeaceusa.org/[/url]5. cancel daily newspaper..and magazines and newsletters printedon felled trees, as 72% of the young have get your news on the webhttp://www.protest.net/ Daily newspapers account for trillions oftrees slaughtered annually and most promote anti environmentcorporations.In the US a high percentage ofmetropolitan dailies are controlled by neocon warmongersas well.6. Print on cotton, recycled or scrap paper in downloading7. Use a water spray instead of toilet paper8. Buy food naturally packaged.. nuts in nut shells,bananas inpeels.. buy in bulk. Fruit is nature's most perfectly packaged food.How many trees go into cereal boxes [url=http://www.goveg.com/meetmeat.html]http://www.goveg.com/meetmeat.html[/url]9. Use canvas bags for shopping.. neither plastic nor paperhttp://www.sierraclub.org/10. Stop eating meat, since cutting forests for cattlegrazing is a major cause of deforestation.. Animal fleshyields a maximum of 1000 lbs an acre. Tri level agriculture (fruittrees, vines and fruit bearing plants) yields over 450,000 lbs. peracre.) Meat's trioxypurine is more addictive than caffein'sdioxypurine.11. Work for peace.. work for an end to giving 10 million a dayto violent governments, for the outlawing of membership on armsmerchant boards by government officials (Lynne Cheney on theboard of Lockheed which wants to keep a 70 billion dollar planecontract) and elsewhere radically affecting weather patterns.. work for an end to CIA, Army and other weathermanipulation. In 1972 Seymour Hersh reported in the NY Timesthe CIA's attempts through cloud seeding to cause flooding inN Vietnam. [url]http://www.peta.net/feat/12. Save fruit seeds and scatter them in wild places[url]http://www.ran.org[/url] The average evaporation of mature trees is 42gallons a day..which becomes mist, then clouds, and then rain,eliminating drought.13. Buy books and greeting cards published on cotton, rice, or othernontree paper.14. Purchase furniture which is used and refurbish itor buy metal furniture with cotton padding. There are many nontree furniture options. The furniture, lumber, and construction businesses have lobbied for the cutting down of US forests, whereas the UK, some cities in Maryland and California require a permit to cut down old trees.15. Vote out earth abusers.. Vote out the GOP which sometimesreceives 10 times the political contributions from earth abusersthat any other party receives. Vote inDemocrats or Greens or Libertarians depending on the situation[url]http://www.truthout.org[/url] [url]http://kucinich.us[/url][url]http://www.greens.org[/url] [url]http://www.democrats.org[/url] (in some instances)16. Avoid fast food places which deforest for theirpackaging and create litter which fills dumpsites and requireslabor pickup [url]http://www.vegdining.com[/url] [url]http://www.mccruelty.com[/url]17. visualize sun and green trees everywhere18. pray19. Outlaw junk mail (as telemarketers have been). File a form with the main post office in your area. Return to sender. The GOP & junkmailers are requiring you to subsidize their treekilling andinvasive practices as your postal rates go from 34 cents to 37 cents, an 8.1 cent inflation rate.20. Recycle cardboard cartons at commerical establishments. Recycleyour own scrap paper.21. Replace the purchase of dead Christmas trees whichcause many fires annually.. with artificial trees.. orliving ones planted each year in the year. Oregon is the biggestChristmas tree killer with 7 billion a year in slaughter sales.22. Save seeds of trees, vines, bushes, plants andscatter them where mowing does not occur23. Ban the cutting of trees entirely as Thailand hasdown.(The United Kingdom has banned the cutting of treesafter they reach a certain width.. while Takoma Park Maryland inthe US and other cities have required a permit to cut oldertrees. The United States is still a land of skinny trees, becauseof present control of the Forest Svc. and National Park Serviceby lumber mining oil and cattle interests) In Mumbai elephantsare threatened by logging, as well as by poaching and war.24. Stop through lawsuits, networking etc. the 'controlled fires'deliberately set by the US ParkService and the Forest Svc... fires which often are made more lethalby the unpredictable wind.. fires which at their best destroytrees, animals, insects.25. Work for workplace, home, library and other printoutson cotton, recycled, or the back sides of already printed paper.26. stop the control of national and state executive branch,legislatures and courts by corporate contractors27. network with other environmentalists28. Disinvest mutual funds, pension funds from earth abusingcorporations such as Georgia Pacific and other tree killers.29. Replace paper towels with washed cotton rags.30. Contact the USPO to give you a Direct Marketing Assoc. form.. which will stop both commercial and nonprofit junk maildelivered to your home [url]http://www.the-dma.org/[/url] ADVO is the world's largest junkmailer, killing trees both at thebeginning and at the end astrees are bulldozed to make morelandfill in which to put ADVO junk31. Fax gives trees the ax... phone and email are more direct32. Toilet paper used for urine only can be put in paperrecyclers.33.please boycott insurance companies which mandatethe killing of trees... (sometimes land speculators buy homesjust long enough to put them on the market and profiteerfrom the sale... after axing centenarian trees...health departments too have joined in this anti health measure)34. Legislate underground power lines to save trees. This isdone in several countries in Europe.35. Clearcutting lumber and miningcompanies have caused flashfloods around the world. One suchbegan over the destruction of5000 homes near Beckley W. Va.36. Lumber companies have puta variety of poisons into the waters.37. Lumber companies havecaused fires from dust accumulationsuch as the one occurring inSchofield Wisconsin in Oct. of 2005.Fire chief Doug Jennings: "It ismy belief (the fire was caused by)a dust explosion."38. Using metal spiral staircasesrather than wooden ones. Building with metal, stone, stucco, brick, block reinforcedconcete protects from fire, termites, the need to paint, keeps houses from floating away in floodsor being shattered by hurricanes, 39. Both a UN and a UK governmentreport link cattle ranches and dairyproducts to global warming,as they come from the removalof trees.40. Avoid wood chips. In a hot Houstonpark, wood chips spontaneouslycombusted, causing fire.41. Respond to others. When thelumber industry says it plants saplings,it doesn't say that it takes 1000years to replace a millenial oak,hundreds of years to replacea centenarian fir.

In 1976 a federal court in ClevelandOhio ruled that the Akron HealthDepartment's forced mowing ofa family's lawn violated their1st Amendment freedom of religionsince it is impossible to mow withoutkilling beings. 1st amendment freedom of expression isone of many other legal strongpoints. Attorneys WilliamWhitaker and Beverly Rose wroughta $500 judgment against theHealth Dept.
Staff of the pre Bush EPA of Chicago (Atty Rappoportand others) have developed supportivebriefs for those wishing to challengecompulsory mowing ordinances.

I went to turn the grass once after oneWho mowed it in the dew before the sun.The dew was gone that made his blade so keenBefore I came to view the levelled scene.I looked for him behind an isle of trees;I listened for his whetstone on the breeze.But he had gone his way, the grass all mown,And I must be, as he had been -- alone,'As all must be,' I said within my heart,'Whether they work together or apart.'But as I said it, swift there passed me byOn noiseless wing a bewildered butterfly,Seeking with memories grown dim o'er nightSome resting flower of yesterday's delight.And once I marked his flight go round and round,As where some flower lay withering on the ground.And then he flew as far as eye could see,And then on tremulous wing came back to me.I thought of questions that have no reply,And would have turned to toss the grass to dry;But he turned first, and led my eye to lookAt a tall tuft of flowers beside a brook,A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had sparedBeside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.The mower in the dew had loved them thus,By leaving them to flourish, not for us,Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him.But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.The butterfly and I had lit upon,Nevertheless, a message from the dawn,That made me hear the wakening birds around,And hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,And feel a spirit kindred to my own,So that henceforth I worked no more alone;But glad with him, I worked as with his aid,And weary, sought at noon with him the shade;And dreaming, as it were, held brotherly speechWith one whose thought I had not hoped to reach.'Men work together,' I told him from the heart,'Whether they work together or apart.'
(The Tuft Of Flowers was included in a 1929collection of the world's most famous poems)[B]WEST-RUNNING BROOK[/B]'Fred, where is north?''North? North is there, my love.The brook runs west.''West-running Brook then call it.'(West-Running Brook men call it to this day.)'What does it think k's doing running westWhen all the other country brooks flow eastTo reach the ocean? It must be the brookCan trust itself to go by contrariesThe way I can with you -- and you with me --Because we're -- we're -- I don't know what we are.What are we?''Young or new?''We must be something.We've said we two. Let's change that to we three.As you and I are married to each other,We'll both be married to the brook. We'll buildOur bridge across it, and the bridge shall beOur arm thrown over it asleep beside it.Look, look, it's waving to us with a waveTo let us know it hears me.'' 'Why, my dear,That wave's been standing off this jut of shore --'(The black stream, catching a sunken rock,Flung backward on itself in one white wave,And the white water rode the black forever,Not gaining but not losing, like a birdWhite feathers from the struggle of whose breastFlecked the dark stream and flecked the darker poolBelow the point, and were at last driven wrinkledIn a white scarf against the far shore alders.)'That wave's been standing off this jut of shoreEver since rivers, I was going to say,'Were made in heaven. It wasn't waved to us.''It wasn't, yet it was. If not to youIt was to me -- in an annunciation.''Oh, if you take it off to lady-land,As't were the country of the AmazonsWe men must see you to the confines ofAnd leave you there, ourselves forbid to enter,-It is your brook! I have no more to say.''Yes, you have, too. Go on. You thought of something.''Speaking of contraries, see how the brookIn that white wave runs counter to itself.It is from that in water we were fromLong, long before we were from any creature.Here we, in our impatience of the steps,Get back to the beginning of beginnings,The stream of everything that runs away.Some say existence like a PirouotAnd Pirouette, forever in one place,Stands still and dances, but it runs away,It seriously, sadly, runs awayTo fill the abyss' void with emptiness.It flows beside us in this water brook,But it flows over us. It flows between usTo separate us for a panic moment.It flows between us, over us, and with us.And it is time, strength, tone, light, life and love-And even substance lapsing unsubstantial;The universal cataract of deathThat spends to nothingness -- and unresisted,Save by some strange resistance in itself,Not just a swerving, but a throwing back,As if regret were in it and were sacred.It has this throwing backward on itselfSo that the fall of most of it is alwaysRaising a little, sending up a little.Our life runs down in sending up the clock.The brook runs down in sending up our life.The sun runs down in sending up the brook.And there is something sending up the sun.It is this backward motion toward the source,Against the stream, that most we see ourselves in,The tribute of the current to the source.It is from this in nature we are from.It is most us.''To-day will be the day....You said so.''No, to-day will be the dayYou said the brook was called West-running Brook.''To-day will be the day of what we both said.')

My husband is on a health-kick, and he wants to drag me along whether I like it or not. He's lost some weight – has a ways to go before he's Matt Damon, but still – he's looking and feeling much better, and he wants me to, well – to partner with him. The problem is, I have given up on myself. But that's another post.
For the last few weeks he's plugged into some kind of high-tech step counter that tells him – I kid you not – how many steps he takes a day. Apparently, he's doing well if he takes over 10,000 steps. He's got a thingamajig in his pocket that he wears around that automatically counts them for him. He's also got a fancy Withings smart body analyzer - you step on it daily and it automatically uploads your BMI and weight into the Withings app so your iPhone can now irritate you in a whole new way, and tell you how well or how poorly you are doing. It even measures your sleep patterns.
Change is a-foot in our family.
For example, the other morning he took out the trash. He never takes out the trash.
I cornered him on his way back up the driveway: "What's up with you?" I said. "Why are you suddenly taking out the trash?"
He held up his step tracker thingy. "Extra steps!" he said, joyfully.
The nerve of him.
Yesterday he galloped up the steps to the second floor. "What are you? A springbok?" I said, irritated.
He smiled (abusively) and said: "Two weeks. You do what I do for two weeks, and you'll be running up the steps too. Like a gazelle!"
Hmph. Big changes a-hoof.
So yesterday he comes back from the gym (yes, he's going to the gym now) loaded down with all this stuff he bought at Best Buy. A Withings super-duper scale just for me, and a Jawbone-Up fuel band. Also for me. He started asking me questions, like "What's your weight – best guess?" and "What's your height? Your real height?" (I'm 5-foot-six-and-a-quarter, but I tell people I'm 5-foot-six-and-a-half.)
He puts the Jawbone-Up bracelet on my wrist and enters my information – my most secret details – into the computer. Then he says, "You've got to go with the times, Ado!" (abusively). "High-tech's the way to go! Ha ha!"
(Now that he's getting fit, it seems like all of his sentences end with exclamation points! But this might just be me!)
So now I'm attached to a modern-day doohickey, a handcuff that will measure my indolence. It will even measure my sleep (I sleep great by the way – I don't know anyone who sleeps better than me – seconds after my head hits the pillow I'm out for at least 8 hours! But in today's busy world a person doesn't get credit for being a deep sleeper! And we don't take siestas here in North America so – phwah!). He says to me, in a chirpy, active person's voice, "You can do POWER NAPS! You can even program it to wake you up after you've had enough high-quality REM so you don't oversleep!"
"Why would anybody do that?" I said. We don't even own an alarm clock. "Why would a person ever want to wake themselves up from a NAP?"
He just grinned at me, and I couldn't help but noticed he's sporting an irritatingly healthy glow.
"You can even program it to 'buzz' if you haven't moved for certain 40-minute-intervals," he suggested.
I'm afraid. I'm not into dieting because of what happened to my mom, and I'd rather be the size of a whale than get all obsessive about how many steps I take or don't take per day and what I'm eating and everything. That said, I need to be a positive and healthful role model for my children, not a sloth who hopes they don't notice that she's kinda given up on herself.
I am afraid of the Jawbone-Up band not only because wearing it out in public implies that I am an active person (I used to be, but I'm clearly I'm not – my doctor even said to me, "You've given up on yourself, Ado," – I still haven't summoned the courage to go back to see him) and because it will count the steps I don't take. I can't imagine taking anywhere near 10,000 steps/day! I'm worried. And on the off-chance I get into it? Will I become obsessive-compulsive like my husband (who never was before!), who just this morning told me, "If you walk around the island to open the fridge you get 12 extra steps!" and: "Why don't you use the bathroom on the top floor? It'll add steps!" Etc. Note: I have a lot of friends with OCD and I just do not think this would be a good gizmo for my OCD-peeps to have. Seems like it would just drive an OCD person right over the edge into full-on obsession.
I dread thinking of the world in steps. There is already so much to worry about. But I am going to do it.
"Just try it," he said. "Just this once – try what I suggest."
Okay, I'll try it. But I sure haven't gotten any steps slothing around on the sectional writing this post! Someday, I want a band that measures brain-steps. Thoughts you think. I'd get a million brain-steps/day, never mind that this is probably because I have ADHD…
So today is my first day hooked up to the doohickeys, and if I am brave I will report back to you how many steps I took on my first day. It will probably appall you, but it's a place to start! I may even start speaking in exclamation points! (-:

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A group of northeastern Minnesota residents is asking state leaders to decline to award a package of mineral rights leases recommended by the Department of Natural Resources.
Matt Tyler of Finland says the Executive Council should defer action when it meets Thursday until the Court of Appeals decides whether the DNR should conduct an environmental review of the leases.
Tyler led a drive that gathered more than 170 signatures in support of a review. But the DNR decided the petition was premature because none of the three companies that bid on the 31 tracts have submitted plans yet for actual prospecting on the lands for copper, nickel and other metals. Tyler's group filed its appeal this week.
The leases cover about 9,500 acres in St. Louis, Lake and Aitkin counties.

LAS VEGAS -- A chilling account of what happened Saturday afternoon at a Summerlin Costco has surfaced, blasting Las Vegas police for what witnesses call excessive force.
Erik Scott was shot and killed by police. Metro says he was armed and posed a threat, but witnesses are coming forward saying they don't believe that's true.
At least one of these accounts was from a couple who says they were just feet away from where Scott was shot. They says he didn't draw his gun or point it at police, but officers shot anyway.
Scott's cousin and family friends say witnesses are reaching out to them.
"The event immediately spiraled out of control, but not from the perspective of Erik who, from what his girlfriend said, was like absolutely stunned -- shocked that police were there. 'Why are police here? What's going on in the store?' Suddenly the police are firing," said family friend William Birnes.
The 38-year-old medical salesman had been inside Costco shopping with his girlfriend, when Metro says it received numerous 911 calls for his erratic behavior and reporting he was carrying a gun. This prompted the store to evacuate employees and customers.
According to his cousin, an eyewitness who was right next to Scott claims he didn't have a gun in his hand or appear to be hostile in any way. But Metro says that wasn't the case. They say they saw a weapon and that Scott was a threat.
"If I give you a command to drop the weapon or get on the ground, or whatever I happen to do, and you don't comply with that and you have a weapon in your hand, you continue moving forward and pointing at me, I'm going to definitely think that my life is in danger. I would definitely think, in my mind, that you're going to shoot me," said Metro Capt. Patrick Neville.
Three officers shot Scott seven times. The witness says he remembers his girlfriend screaming, "Why did you kill him? He is a military man with a license to carry a concealed weapon. You didn't need to kill him. You didn't need to kill him."
The officers are on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
The witness says once Scott was down and clearly not a threat, the manner in which authorities handled his lifeless body was "like a sack of potatoes." It is unknown if the witnesses have yet given their statement to police.
What will set the record straight is surveillance video and the 911 calls placed during the incident. But Metro will not release them until the coroner's inquest sometime in September.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

Mississippi Remembers the Fallen on Memorial DayBy Daniel Cherry | Published 30 May 2011 04:25pm |
Since the War on Terror began more than 70 Mississippians have died while serving in the armed forces. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports on how communities spent Memorial Day remembering the fallen.
Towns across Mississippi gathered to give thanks to those soldiers who paid the ultimate price for their country.
In Brandon residents packed into the courthouse for a Memorial Day ceremony. Three soldiers from Rankin County have died in the line of duty since May of last year. Philip Clark died in Afghanistan. His aunt Andrea Lloyd says the show of support is bittersweet.
"We are very proud of Philip for the sacrifices that he made, but it is also a very hard day. We miss him greatly, and it has been a year. He was killed on May 18th and it doesn't get any easier."
In the past two months two soldiers from Brandon and Pearl were killed. Billy Henderson, with the Marine Corps League came out to Brandon to pay his respects. It's something he says he's glad to do since he wasn't treated as kindly when he was a Marine.
"Mississippi has always supported our military. The rest of the country...not always. Look at Vietnam. You didn't get a welcome home then. Now us that were in that period of time, when we see one another we always say, 'Welcome home brother.'"
U.S. Senator Roger Wicker took part in the ceremony. He says even with bin Laden dead, he doesn't see a rush to pull troops back home. Until that time comes he expects Mississippians to continue to answer the call.
"Historically Mississippians have been among the most patriotic and the most unselfish in terms of stepping forward and serving their nation. So I expect we're going to continue in that tradition as long as we're threatened, and it seems that may be as long as time itself."
In the past year, 7 Mississippi soldiers have died while serving.

The Achievement Center, an agency that works with children with disabilities is moving from its current location on East 6th Street and Perry Square to the former Steris headquarters building in Millcreek.
The six million dollar move will help the agency expand its programs. The move is made possible, in part, by a decision from Erie Insurance to buy the current agency site across the street from the Erie Insurance campus. Part of the agency building is 100 years old and at one time headquartered what is now the insurance giant.
The Achievement Center board is hoping to only borrow 25 percent of needed funds, relying on a capital campaign led by Honorary Chair and Erie Insurance Chairman Tom Hagen.
Hagen says after the agency is relocated the old building will be refurbished and could serve as a Heritage Center to showcase the history of Erie Insurance.
The agency will move into temporary space in Steris at the end of March until the renovated space is ready to go.

Government Shut Down Could Result in a $2 Billion Dollar Loss for NY
10/9/2013 (Updated 6:41:23 PM)Governor Cuomo is saying the federal government shutdown could mean a $2 billion loss to the State of New York.
That's according to data from past recessions. Economists are saying a default could trigger a national, if not global recession, and the impact would setback much of the progress New York State has made the last three years.
This includes a negative impact on state revenues and job losses throughout all sectors.

We all know the legend of the mythical Phoenix. From the ashes of it's predecessor a new Phoenix is born and so forth. Something like this. Ok, I'm not really up my my Mythology but it involves a bird, fire, ashes and rebirth. It's this rebirth that I am interested in here. Because we have already had at Arizona bands and agreed that the only band from anywhere near Arizona is Calexico* I will use this opportunity to hastily throw together words in service of a half assed idea I had associated with this mythical Phoenix. I must admit that when I first started thinking about this I expected the ideas to roll in at an uncontrollable rate. Instead ideas trickled my way as if on the lonesome back of a Bisbee tumbleweed. Still I persist looking at bands that were born from the ashes of a previous band that had flamed out. I am hopeful that others here will have better examples than I. Well, here goes:
From the ashes of Buffalo Springfield:
CSN&Y was born.
And from the Ashes of At the Drive In:
was born the Mars Volta.
What examples can you think of?
*This is unlikely to be true. I'm sure there are many bands from Arizona and I have not doubt that they were discussed previously in these very threads.

First off, great, interesting and informative article. Second, 'Cuckoo's Nest' was a special film that needed special directing, and it got it in Forman. The complete winning package it was: Screenplay, casting, acting, editing, and even produding (one of two producers was Michael Douglas), it had it all...For only $4.4 million. Great film and a great director. It's about time.

I've always preferred his Czech films (especially Loves of a Blonde) to his American stuff. I always thought his Americans films were unimpressive, at least relative to Loves of a Blonde and Fireman's Ball.
