Inconsiderate Drivers (share your stories, etc.)
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787Yes, seriously. Do you live in an area where it snows a lot? People driving around with obstructed windows is very common where I live... and a big safety issue.
Everyone should know you don't do things like text while driving, camp in the left lane, drive without lights in dim light etc. etc. But how many posts here have been directed at those and other rules that "everyone should know"? -
gogogodzilla MarylandPosts: 703It really depends on the traffic. A cold, snowy, blustery day with no traffic... on a flat, straight highway shouldn't slow anyone down much.
For there isn't anything on a road like that requiring sudden stops or steering changes.
Unfortunately, we have drivers here in the US that are so poor that they actually *CAN'T* handle driving in a straight line at a steady speed... even in *GOOD* weather.
Case in point: http://youtu.be/kzlg3oQMze4 -
fintail Posts: 34,520You should see it when it snows in Seattle. Some will just clear a little peephole, like driving a tank.
Rainy drive tonight, several cars with no lights or parking lights (after legal sunset but not the civil twilight some cling to :shades: ), lots of no signals, actually spotted no phone yappers, no egregious crosswalk crowders. -
fintail Posts: 34,520Tonight, raining again, yay. Nothing too terrible, but still too many running with light issues. Tonight it was mainly parking lights. I wonder what the mentality is for this..."I want to be visible, but not too visible"? Also, do BMW X5s come equipped with turn signals? Got crosswalk crowded once by an older woman in a new Beetle, who gave me an apologetic wave when she noticed.
fintail Posts: 34,520Partly clear evening ,beautiful sunset, and hardly any cars with headlight issues - yes, not as dark, and more "drivers" were using lights. Gotta love it.
No real issues other than random slowpokes or bad lane changes, but while on foot saw a woman yell "Excuse me, I'm walking, I'm walking!" at a Solara that had a close call with her in a crosswalk. Doesn't seem to be an enforcement priority. -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787Doesn't seem to be an enforcement priority.
It does seem hard to believe that the LEO who was on the scene didn't issue a ticket to the Solara driver who almost hit the woman.
There was a LEO on the scene, right?
I'd like to see stopping for green lights for no reason at all be an enforcement priority, too. Also I'd like to see tickets issued to people who pass on the right... when there's no lane there. I observed both of those behaviors today. Oh wait... there was no LEO around to observe those acts. Guess we need to put more LEOs on the streets... hmmm, more money needed there, methinks. You go first, I know others will also contribute. -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787How much is the ticket for failing to yield right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk? I'll bet it's not small. Revenue opportunity there also.
But anyway, your whole argument about LEOs being in the wrong place because of chasing revenue is irrelevant to this discussion. Meaning it's a huge red herring. -
fintail Posts: 34,520I have no idea, but no doubt the volume of speeders is higher, and the citations easier to defend. To serve and protect also has to do with protecting revenue streams.
What discussion? I posted about my daily road experience, someone else chimed in with a weird devils advocate/red herring based complaint as per usual. Looks like I need to install a filter. When I mention my experience, I determine what is relevant. Local LEOs have iffy priorities, and too many local drivers, well, nothing more need be said. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Yep, and mixing those two types in low visibility is a recipe for disaster.
I came across a true LLC a few days ago coming out of Anchorage. He was driving a late-model GMC truck pulling a 20' or so double-axle covered trailer. This person was going 65 on the button, with no need to be in the left lane at all, but happy as a clam to be there. I decided to perform an experiment on him, so I pulled in front, then let off the accelerator, wondering at what speed he would decide to switch lanes and go around (traffic was relatively light, but there were a few vehicles stacked up behind him). I was down to about 45 by the time all the other vehicles went around us, yet he just stayed where he was in the left lane, tooling along behind me.
Now THAT is an LLC! I just laughed, set the cruise back at 70, and slowly pulled away (he resumed his previous 65 mph speed, always in the left lane).2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Also I'd like to see tickets issued to people who pass on the right... when there's no lane there.
Passing on the right... on a two lane road? That's not illegal if the vehicle being passed is stopped to turn left and the passing vehicle does not have to leave the roadway (e.g., paved surface of the road) to do so.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,646> so I pulled in front, then let off the accelerator, wondering at what speed he would decide to switch lanes and go around (traffic was relatively light, but there were a few vehicles stacked up behind him). I was down to about 45
I assume the speed limit was 65? So slowing down to 45 made a new LLC'er. Did that prove anything?
If you were able to easily pass the person, they didn't speed up to keep you from pulling back into your lane apparently, which is the left lane, were they the LLC in the end or was the car going 45 in the left lane the LLC?
. Why not merrily go on your way, in the left lane, rather than the right if you please, and have a good day? -
fintail Posts: 34,520He'd probably react like you were speaking Greek if you told him the idea of "keep right except to pass" - I think some chronic clueless LLCing traditionalists might think it is some kind of socialist pinko nonsense.
I like doing the opposite - when a dope speeds up while I am passing, I will keep speeding up to see how far they will take it. -
elias Posts: 1,964over the million miles or so, it's possible to do detailed psychological studies of the LLC, by out-LLCing/MLCing them verrrrry slowly and gradually...
results were as follows:
- 99.4% of MLCs *will pass* on the left, or rarely on the right, when they find themselves out-MLC'd. half the time they are female, half the time male.
- 99.997% of when an LLC is out-LLC'd, he will *slow down arbitrarily to any speed whatsoever* in order to stay in the left lane rather than moving right. These most-typical LLCs will only move right just before they take an exit. another observation: LLCs always seem to be male! -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787Passing on the shoulder of a two-lane road isn't illegal? News to me. At the least, it's unsafe... with snowbanks sticking out into the shoulder in this case, meaning there's barely enough room for the passing vehicle to squeeze by--if I didn't have a compact, there wouldn't have been enough room.
This was a 30 mph road. What's the harm of waiting for the turning car to turn, vs. trying to squeeze by on the constricted shoulder of the road? -
fordf8502014 Posts: 1ahh the big dots lol. we have them here on the east coast too. on route 42 in delaware funny thing is theyre on a 2 lane road with a 55mph posted speed limit with a huge sign with a picture of a cars rear end and 3 big dots behind it.
saying you must have this many dots between you and the car in front, yeah like people read signs between using their cell phone, ipod etc. what will they think of next.. maybe well be like the europeans with the tone beeping when you get too close or the car automatically keeping distance....the hits just keep on comin...lol -
gogogodzilla MarylandPosts: 703
bolivar Posts: 2,316Your LLC - My guess, he was going to turn left. Probably 5 or 6 miles down the road, but he got in the left lane because he was going to be turning left. No matter that he violated the 'keep right except to pass' rule, or the traffic was light and he could easily get into the left lane when he actually came close to his turn, in his mind he was going to be turning left, so he posted his vehicle in the left lane.
I've kept people in sight, ones running at the speed limit in the left lane, several time while going north out of my town. About 6 miles up the road is a cross road that leads to a small town and out into the country with several homes, and this is where they make their turn. After camping in the left lane for 5 or more miles.
Or, he was of the opinion that if he was going the speed limit, it made no matter which lane, left or right, he drove in. And even if there was traffic and he was impeading 'speeders' in the left lane, he did not need to move right. I think he has left about a year ago, but there was a poster in here (don't remember his nam) that defended his right to do this to the limit. Whick led to long series of postings with various people 'again' him, but never shaking his opinion. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Well, possibly. This road was a "freeway" by American standards, and has only limited access exits and entrances - all on the right. About 20 miles down the road from where we were, it has a major split, but does so by adding a third lane.
Really, I was just curious to see whether the driver would change lanes to pass me when I was going extraordinarily slow, given that they had no particular reason to be in the left lane at all with the light traffic and no traffic going slower (or even the same speed as) than this driver. It was a psychological experiment.
The end result was that I found this driver was truly a left lane camper. No rhyme, no reason, just a person who wanted to drive in the left lane. Period. I had my laugh out of it and continued on my way.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Well, the harm typically is that on many two-lane roads, they've built up enough over the years that the left turn may take a long while to accomplish, and traffic could back up dramatically in the mean time by no fault of the left turner. I don't know your particular situation, but this doesn't sound like the case.
I can't speak for Minnesota, but in the states where I have resided, the law states that passing on the right is acceptable if there is sufficient space to safely pass without leaving the surface of the roadway. Your having a small car could allow this to be the case, even with a snow-narrowed roadway.
I know how you feel, though, as I've been passed both safely and unsafely on the right before, too. I tend to drive in a manner that enables other drivers to get around me when I'd otherwise hold them up (such as while slowing to make a turn, hauling a heavy load, etc), yet sometimes it just isn't safe to get other drivers around me even though I don't want to hold them up. Sometimes they wait and sometimes they don't, but they're the ones who have to make that choice.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787We're talking a hold up here of all of 2-3 seconds. What's the g.d. hurry?
And I am not about to crowd the centerline of the road (unsafely) just to give Mr. CantWait a little extra room to pass on the right with his truck. The driving lane is narrow enough as it is. 99.9% of drivers on this road realize that and wait patiently, safely, and considerately for left-turners. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Like I said, the scenario I painted in my post didn't sound like it was the case here.
Many of the roads I drove in Oregon as a youth, as well as those in Pennsylvania where we visit from time to time, are not safe to pass on the right, as you're lucky if you even have enough room to paint a fog line! And, yet, people would still pass on the right from time to time (illegally).2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
fintail Posts: 34,520This morning was the time for dumb turners. First up - 4 lane road with a center turn lane. White Sienna slows in the far right lane, starts to turn left without looking, almost hits a car and gets honked at, then when clear makes a left turn from the far right lane. Not 5 minutes later, a different white Sienna on a 2 lane street with a center turn lane makes a left turn with no signal and without using the turn lane. Topped it off by a seeing a Sprinter cargo van on a busy 4 lane + turn lane arterial making a right turn from the left lane, after nearly coming to a stop on a green light. Wonderful place to walk, drive, bike, anything.

Nancy Barry, Patricia Houle, and Ann Romano: Village Mixes
Honorees of Country Living's 2007 Pitch Your Product Contest.
Village Mixes
In 1998, Patricia Houle was at a stage of her life that is familiar to many people, especially women: Her career was successful but not particularly fulfilling; her children were older and less demanding of her time; and that little seed of an idea for a business began to take root. After coping with a major life change the end of her marriage Houle decided it was the perfect time to try something new. Taking a deep breath and a huge leap of faith, she plunged in and created her own specialty-foods business, Village Mixes.
A longtime baker, Houle had many recipes for delicious baked goods that were always in demand by family and friends. She had long believed she could simplify her recipes, without sacrificing flavor, and make it easy for busy people to make their own home-baked treats. She started with several family favorites Apple Crisp, Walnut Pie Crust, and Coconut Sweets and worked with nationally recognized folk artist Lisa Carpenter to create unique packaging.
In those early days, Houle took her products to regional craft fairs, gourmet stores, specialty-food shops, and farm stands. As a family-focused person, Houle involved her large extended family in the business. Everyone lent a hand working the fairs, loading trucks, helping with assembly, offering sales and marketing assistance, and, of course, tasting new recipes.
Today, Village Mixes is thriving. Villages Mixes are on the shelves of shops around the United States, and orders continue to flow in through her Website, villagemixes.com. And, best of all, she has inspired at least two other women to let their own entrepreneurial spirits take flight.
Houles sister-in-law Nancy Barry and sister Ann Romano took an active part in the business by selling Village Mixes, expanding the companys retail base so that revenue doubled from year to year for several years in a row. But Barry and Romano, both of whom love cooking, had the urge to create something of their own.
At the Barry home, Sunday breakfasts are always big and hearty. Family members enjoy Nancys wonderful recipes, but the pancakes are always the biggest crowd-pleasers. With an eager team of tasters, Barry set out to create the perfect pancake, and Nancys Good Morning Pancakes joined the rest of the Village Mixes lineup. The pancakes, which are available in several flavors, have been a huge hit, particularly with the gift-basket market.
At the Romano home, brownies and cookies disappear as quickly as Ann can make them. When she decided to create her own Village Mixes product line, she perfected her most popular recipes to create Anns Best-Ever Brownies and Cookie Jar Favorites, which feature her greatest hits: Snickerdoodles, White Chocolate Raspberry and Cranberry Oatmeal cookies. Like all of the Village Mixes products, Romanos recipes have become customer favorites.
Although building a business is not easy, the excitement of creating something they can call their own and having it embraced by retailers and customers alike has made this journey an overwhelmingly positive one for Houle, Barry, and Romano.

Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 at Glastonbury 2013 – review
At 2011's Glastonbury, Robyn Hitchcock performed all of Captain Beefheart's Clear Spot record - this year the former Soft Boy is toeing the line a little more, and appearing with his American supergroup of a backing band, The Venus 3.
Strangely, though, Peter Buck isn't present, though Paul Noble makes a fine job of filling in on guitar. Joining Hitchcock are the usual Venus 3 rhythm section, Scott McCaughey and Bill Reiflin - the latter in particular is a stunning musician, all perfect feel and adroitly judged fills, while always serving the song.
Robyn begins with a short acoustic segment, kicking off with the old Soft Boys track "Only The Stones Remain", which, not surprisingly considering tomorrow night's headliners, goes down well with the crowd at the Spirit Of '71 stage.
After "The Wreck Of The Arthur Lee", the group and assorted other musicians take the stage for Venus 3 songs including "Museum Of Sex" and the relentless "Adventure Rocket Ship", along with some earlier solo Hitchcock tracks such as "Airscape" and "Oceanside".
There's no way enough vocals in the mix, but luckily you can still hear Robyn's unique stage banter, this time with topics ranging from baby spiders inside your heart, wardrobes the Russians sent into space and the difference between capitalist and socialist guitar strings ("capitalist strings are in tune with themselves, socialist strings are in tune with each other", if you were wondering...).
The Soft Boys' "Kingdom Of Love" and The Venus 3's "Ole! Tarantula" end the set, before Robyn bids everyone goodbye: "We haven't got any shows lined up, you can't buy any records, in fact you'll probably never see us again..." He's joking, of course, but hey, don't scare us, Robyn.

Is this the best Romney has to offer?

That was it? The big high-water mark of Mitt Romney's campaign, the emotional convention push that is going to propel him straight into the White House?
Big sigh and smile. Let me state it again: Barack Obama, luckiest man in the world. If Romney's limp, lifeless candidacy — even on its best day — isn't quite up there with Alan Keyes on the scale of lead-pipe cinch, shooting-a-duck-in-a-bucket, thank-you-Lord opponents, if his pairing with Tailgunner Paul Ryan falls a tad short of the unique blend of declining senescence and youthful idiocy that was the McCain/Palin ticket, the fact remains that if Obama loses to these two guys, well, he deserves to lose. Whether that also means America deserves Romney is another matter, but I'm not one to panic. Having survived Nixon, Reagan and two Bushes, we'd cruise through a Romney era — it isn't as if he believes in much of anything in particular, remember. Though, having watched the convention, I just don't think we'll have to find out. Romney obviously meant to combine the folksy charm of Reagan with the intellectual depth of Nixon, but ended up projecting the intellectual depth of Reagan and the folksy charm of Nixon.
Every Baby Is Allowed to Carry A Whip
Almost a dozen years ago, I had the good fortune to visit Lithuania. Valdas Adamkus, after living nearly 50 years in Chicago, had renounced his U.S. citizenship, returned to his homeland and had been elected president. That seemed a story.
Of course, you go all the way to Lithuania, it's inefficient to return with just one article. So I also watched Chicago doctors do orthopedic surgery in a Soviet-era operating room whose glazed brick walls reminded me of an elementary school bathroom, visited a Lithuanian army base, and more; a week's worth of stories, including a travel piece about what to do if you decide to vacation in Lithuania.
In my mind, the point of travel stories is to entertain readers who most likely will never visit wherever it is you are writing about. So I was a little taken aback when, months later, I heard from the head of a family, thanking me for the idea, telling about what a great vacation they all enjoyed in Lithuania.
"Taken aback" doesn't begin to describe it. I was shocked — it was all I could do not to blurt out: "You went!? You read my story and then took your whole family to Lithuania??"
That was scary. I'm glad that they had a good time, but what if something went wrong? What if little Timmy stepped in front of a streetcar? It would be All My Fault.
I'm not sure how other columnists do it — they seem to view themselves as vital, resonating oracles of truth whose golden words stun and mobilize a grateful nation. I'm not like that — I can't even adjust myself to the idea that some people read the column and remember it. I can't tell you how many times someone I'm talking with will describe a situation I wrote about, and I'm puzzling, "Hmm, how did you know about that?" until eventually it dawns on me: They read it here.
In July, I ran a column on how the harshness we think of as a symptom of our electronic age is in fact very old, citing Hester Lynch Piozzi's book, Anecdotes of the Late Samuel Johnson, in which she catalogues the "slight insults from newspaper abuse."
"All in turn feel the lash of censure," she writes, "in a country where, as every baby is allowed to carry a whip, no person can escape." I admired the freshness of that, adding, "I'd like a T-shirt with that line on it."
Shortly after, a T-shirt arrived with "Every baby is allowed to carry a whip" and the image of a whip emblazoned on it, courtesy of Larry Dabek, owner of Twisted Tease in Palatine. "It was such a cryptic concept, I thought, this would look good on a T-shirt," said Dabek. You can find it on their website — www.twistedtease.com. Not cheap — $25 plus shipping — but I bought one as a gift.
That's why it's probably not smart to try to judge one's impact — words take such circuitous routes, they slumber hidden, then burst into view again. A line that a brewer's widow penned with a goose quill in the late 18th century, a thought then published as a book in 1786, reprinted over the centuries, popped up in a newspaper column in the summer of 2012, is now a T-shirt worn by — who knows — proud masochists, newspaper columnists, teens trying to be edgy, all sorts of people who have no idea of its origins. I like that.

Notes & Reviews:
"Haflidi Hallgrimmsson, a leading Icelandic composer, has only a few recorded works to his credit: two chamber works and a violin concerto. 'Passia' is his first large work for orchestra and chorus. And a most impressive effort it is. Performances are splended. The 50-voice chior sounds pure and precise, and the small orchestra handles a particularly complex and demanding score with sensitivity and aplomb." - Koob, American Record Guide

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle
Olive ridley ( Lepidochelys olivacea) - Endangered
One of the endangered sea turtle species, olive ridleys are thought to be the most abundant. However, they are still endangered because there remain only a fewnesting sites worldwide where they congregate in large numbers.Olive ridleys live primarily in the northern hemisphere, principally in the eastern Pacific and Indian oceans. In the recent past, there were important populations in northern South America. They migrate thousands of miles in the course of a year, between nesting and feeding grounds. Adults travel and rest mostly in surface waters, but have been observed diving and feeding in waters 550 ft (about 200 m) deep.

Pointing to the often more casual nature of tablet use, which often takes place at home or outside the office, Ad Age has added some other features to its "couch ready" app.
You can, for example, mark stories to read later and you can also catch up on stories they've posted offline as long as you stayed updated with the app before logging off.
The Creativity section features a larger Pick of the Day image at the top of the page, followed by 12 smaller videos to choose from. You can scroll through other pages of Creativity picks with a simple up flick.

NYC Sustainability Countdown
A conservation group is calling on Mayor Bloomberg to dedicate his last five months to the environment.
Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
A conservation group is calling on Mayor Bloomberg to dedicate his last five months to the environment.
Mayor Bloombergs PlaNYC 2030 campaign aims to revitalize New York's aging metropolis into a good and green city.
In the fight to prevent air pollution, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer said dirty boilers are enemy number 1.
Four years after New York City Mayor Bloomberg first introduced PlaNYC, it is getting a makeover. Mayor Bloomberg announced 132 new initiatives, including the phasing out of two of the dirtiest oils used to heat buildings.
The Urban Green Council says if you add up all the gaps in A-C units in New York City, you'll get a hole almost as large as a Manhattan block.
The quality of air in Times Square is cleaner and healthier since a pedestrian plaza was opened in 2009, according to a recent study by the New York City Department of Health. The plaza is one of many around the city including Union Square, Columbus Circle, and Herald Square, and is part of Mayor Bloomberg's initiative to make New York City "greener" by 2030.

But Simple Machines, the company co-founded in 1989 by Kristin Thomson, guitarist for the pop/punk band Tsunami, remains an exception. The person most likely to answer the phone at Simple Machines' Arlington, Virginia, headquarters is Thomson herself.
Thomson claims to be pleased that she and her partner, Tsunami guitarist/vocalist Jenny Toomey, are so intimately involved in the operation. "We still have a lot of control over everything we do," she says. "There's only Jenny and myself and four other people. They're mostly our friends and volunteers who come in and help out once in a while."
Tsunami drummer John Pamer likes the manageable size and scope of Simple Machines. "That's pretty much where we came from, you know? Doing it for yourself. Although the bigger we get, the harder it is to keep complete control over everything we do and the way we're represented. Any more, it's more about controlling our image than anything else,"
That may not be as easy as it seems. Tsunami's vibrant, back-to-basics sound and grassroots approach to making and marketing music have been spotlighted in more than a few major music publications in recent months, including the College Music Journal, Alternative Press and Rolling Stone. The group's profile also rose thanks to several dates on last year's Lollapalooza tour, during which they shared the second stage with acts such as Rocket From the Crypt, Free Kitten and Sebadoh. For Pamer, who is accustomed to booking tours around his college schedule, playing for the throngs at Lollapalooza was a little unnerving at first. "It was quite a learning experience," he recalls, laughing. "It definitely gave us the opportunity to see the dark underbelly of the beast that is the record industry."
For the members of Tsunami, however, being embraced by the Lollapalooza crowd isn't their primary goal. In fact, the band is known among residents of the Washington, D.C., area almost as much for its sociopolitical ideals as for its music. An example: Fortune Cookie Prize, a tribute to Beat Happening released on Simple Machines, was a benefit for a local project called Sasha Bruce Youthwork. The combo's proactive reputation earned it an invitation to perform at Colorado College's Winter Symposium, scheduled to take place January 18-21. Only later was it discovered that Thomson was a former Denverite and Colorado College alum. "It was really funny," Thomson remembers. "When the committee asked us to participate, they chose us because of the particular arrangement of our band [the theme of the symposium is `Sexuality and Gender']. They didn't even know that I went to Colorado College and that I was part of the band. The music director at the radio station was the one who finally made the connection. He called me up one day and said, `Hey! You're in Tsunami, aren't you?'"
Thomson's association with the band began shortly after she received her sociology degree. Upon relocating to Washington, D.C., she met Toomey and Pamer, who, like her, were committed to affecting social change. "At the time, John and Jenny lived in this house called `Positive Force,' which was sort of like this center for political activity," she notes. "I moved into the house when John moved out.
"Then we met [bassist] Andrew [Webster] on a tour the following summer," she continues. "He was sort of in between bands and in between states, so we convinced him to come to D.C. and play bass with us."
Its lineup in place, Tsunami released a five-song seven-inch called Headringer on Simple Machines in 1991. That was followed by a handful of singles on the Homestead, C/Z and Sub Pop imprints and 1993's Deep End, the band's first full-length release. A mixture of new songs and the band's early material, End featured gritty, punk-rock energy and airy, intelligent guitar pop that won praise from underground-music enthusiasts. It was also a hit with misguided journalists, who mistakenly referred to the act's efforts as "shimmery," "fresh-scrubbed" and "cute." For the most part, Thomson believes, these erroneous descriptions stemmed from the company Tsunami was keeping at the time: Unrest and Velocity Girl were among the outfits with which they shared bills. "There was a long period of time when we toured and made records with this group of bands that were at about the same level as we were," she says. "And they still are. But I don't think the songs were poppy in the empty, superficial sense. On the contrary, I think Jenny's lyrics can be very biting when you listen to them closely."
Appropriately, last year's The Heart's Tremelo spotlights a more serious side of the group. Filled with scattershot lyrics, gutsy guitar changes and melancholy, off-kilter harmonies, Tremelo is anything but bubbly. Numbers like "Quietnova," "Kidding on the Square" and "Fits and Starts" careen along at a deliberate pace that has more in common with Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation than it does with anything by the Bangles. All in all, the ten cuts on the disc represent some of Tsunami's moodiest music to date.

What's SHAPE Africa?
SHAPE Africa is an annual regional meeting of Global Shapers from the continent of Africa.
It serves as forum for change makers to discuss and proffer practical solutions to some of the continent's most pressing
Why SHAPE
Africa 2014?
The Global Shapers Abuja Hub welcomes you to a two day meeting bringing together innovators and change makers from all over the continent.
The objectives of SHAPE Africa are to:
- It serves as forum for change makers to discuss and proffer practical solutions
- Spur stronger relationships amongst several different stakeholders
- Engage Shapers in catalytic partnerships with fresh ideas critical to the development in Africa.
- Unite hubs across the region with stakeholders for additional expertise, support, investment and partnerships opportunities.
- Inspire and motivate Shapers to think and do more to change our world
There is a call of duty upon every generation, to act or react, to change or challenge, to create or recreate either way that call must be answered.
It determines whether that generation succeeds or fails
and ultimately if it will be remembered or rapidly forgotten. It is upon this premise, that a generation incessantly imagines a world better than the one they met.
It is this constant battle between the known and unknown world that forces a looming restlessness upon a nation's youth.
In Africa, a generation has witnessed the constant degeneration of its world from cyclical wars to gross inequality, from depraved leadership to inept education but the music must change! Some will argue that it has changed, the Africa rising mantra has dominated recent news on the continent and a hopeful continent has emerged. Regardless of the noise, the call remains an immutable fact and this generation must answer.
To break out of the mold and rid ourselves of the hangover of past and present crises a BOLD manner of thinking is required. At the 2nd annual SHAPE Africa in Abuja, we seek to change the thinking that got us into this quagmire in order to change the results that ensure we don't just survive but thrive in the world of tomorrow.
Beyond a talk shop, SHAPE Africa 2014 will rally the continent's brightest minds to proffer innovative and sustainable solutions to core areas such as Education, Entrepreneurship, Technology and Agriculture. Above all, lets take that BOLD step as we unite in May 2014.
"You cannot solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created them"
Bold Solutions- Change the Thinking. Change the Results

Google Drive Is Fine and That Doesn't Matter
By Jonathan Blum - 04/26/12 - 7:30 AM EDT
Tickers in this article: GOOG
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- I guess you could call me The Digital Skeptic. (You'll have to imagine the trademark symbol after that.) See, during the valuation hype surrounding digital darlings such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, I thought maybe -- just maybe -- someone should be wondering aloud if this whole digital economy thing is not going to pay off. No matter how clever Google Drive is, when you take a look at the market you'll see a flood of competition will likely strip it of any real value. |
I understand why Google felt it had to have some sort of syncing and storage business: Heaven knows how, but storage and syncing have become sexy. Market leader -- and soon-to-be IPO darling -- San Francisco-based Dropbox has been openly taunting Mountain View, Calif.-based Google since back in 2011. It raised a serious war chest of $257.2 million from A-list investors such as Benchmark Capital, Goldman Sachs
Sure, most of these services mostly work. Dropbox, in particular, is a decent way to keep all your files on hand wherever you go. The issue with syncing and storage is with the competition: There is no end to it. This sector dangerously flaunts Warren Buffett's critical investing maxim: "In business, I look for economic castles protected by unbreachable moats." Buffett likes things, utilities or railroads for example, that have serious barriers to entry. That certainly doesn't exist in the storage and sync market. Everyone can, and does, offer this service. Known document collaboration players such as Google, Microsoft, Zoho and Sync.in offer fairly powerful document storage and sharing. Security companies such as Symantec
Google Drives over the edge. Google Drive is a reasonable file sharing and syncing service. 5 GB of storage is generous -- you can even get 16 terabytes of storage if you desire; it can sync most any file across PCs, Macs and mobile devices; and Google Apps users will find it handy, if a bit of a pain to migrate too. But it won't matter. No matter how clever Google Drive is, there is nothing to stop any digital Tom, Dick or Harry from setting up a competitive syncing and sharing service. And that, friends, means syncing and sharing will eventually devolve into a free, profit-starved service. Google Drive, Dropbox and all the rest are nothing more than vortices spinning in a draining tub. Fascinating to look at, fun to put your finger in the middle of. But in the end, nothing of substance drives the action. If that all seems terribly skeptical, well, that's me, The Digital Skeptic. (Trademark.)

NYC to destroy hundreds of homes
PUBLISHED: 19 Nov 2012 09:43:46 | UPDATED: 19 Nov 2012 09:49:53PRINT EDITION: 19 Nov 2012Several homes and businesses were destroyed across the city's boroughs during superstorm Sandy, as this house in Queens. Photo: Ap
Hundreds of New York City homes deemed to be safety hazards following superstorm Sandy will be razed, in a vast operation described by the mayor's office as "unprecedented".
New York is still picking up after last month's mammoth confluence of a hurricane and a seasonal "nor'easter" storm ploughed through the US north-east, landing a direct blow on the city and parts of neighbouring New Jersey.
The mayo's office also announced on Sunday that fuel rationing put in place on November 9, after the storm disrupted deliveries and power at gas stations across the region, would continue until Friday.
Some 200 houses in the New York boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island that were hardest hit by Sandy are to be demolished in the coming weeks or months.
That's on top of the 200 or so that were already to be bulldozed after being completely or partially destroyed by wind, water or by storm-sparked fire.
New York City's Buildings Department must still issue a ruling on another 500 damaged structures, some of which could also meet the same fate, its commissioner Robert LiMandri told The New York Times.
"We've never had this scale before," Mr LiMandri said in remarks published by the newspaper on Sunday.
"This is what New Yorkers have read about in many other places and have never seen, so it is definitely unprecedented."
A decision on how to rebuild these devastated neighbourhoods has become another subject of intense debate.
Most of the houses that will be torn down are modest single-or-two-family homes which, in some instances, have been passed down from generation to generation.
Some that were expanded and renovated over the years could not be rebuilt as they were because they would not pass current building codes.
Moreover, many families fled ahead of the storm, and authorities have had trouble locating them to discuss plans for their battered homes.
"This is not easy, in this case, because of all these displaced people, but we're going to do the best we can, but we may have to move on it if we can't find them," Mr LiMandri said.
Meanwhile, mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement that fuel rationing which "has worked well and helped to reduce wait times and lines at the pump", will continue.

Crystal Dynamics and Dark Horse Comics are partnering up to bring Lara Croft back to the world of four-color comics. If you pre-order Tomb Raider at Best Buy, you can get Tomb Raider: The Beginning, a 48-page hardcover comic book prequel to the game written by lead game writer Rhianna Pratchett.
"Whilst penning Lara's origins story for the game I had lots of ideas about the world she and the other characters inhabited, and the story behind their voyage: as great to be able to flesh out the world of Tomb Raider and work with the talented team at Dark Horse to bring Lara Croft back to comics," said Pratchett.
But this is just the start, as Dark Horse has plans for more comics expanding Lara's adventures beyond the games. For a look at some random pages from the book, make the jump!

Police warn of fog lamp fines
- Published: 21 Jan 2013 at 10.10 | Viewed: 5,438 | Comments: 18
- Online news: Transport
- Writer: Online Reporters
Police have cautioned city motorists not to use their fog lamps, or secondary driving lights, when they are not needed, warning that turning on the glaring beams without a good reason could lead to a 500 baht fine.
Pol Maj Gen Worasak Nopasithiporn, deputy chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, posted the warning on his Facebook page on Sunday. He was responding to several complaints posted on his Facebook wall about the illegal use of fog lamps on Bangkok roads.
Fog lamps are intended for use when there is poor visibility for driving. Appropriate conditions for their use include when there is heavy rain, when headlights are insufficient at night after it has rained, or when there is thick fog or smoke, he said.

Just a quick post today… I am definitely way more full of energy than I have been in a long time. I admit it could be from a combination of things, but I'd like to think my recent eating habits have something to do with it! At any rate, I think I'm figuring out my "natural bedtime" and it's earlier than I'm posting this now.
This morning I had the green smoothie I wrote about in the previous post, followed by lots of water. When I got home I ate the second half of my Purple Basil Kale Salad from Ecopolitan and half of a grapefruit. As an early dinner I ate the salad pictured at the top, which I'm calling the "Torn Basil Salad" in honor of Jamie Oliver and a distinct memory I have from an episode of the Naked Chef 5 or 6 years ago where he urged the hand-tearing of basil right over the greens. It also had two tomatoes, half an avocado, a few tablespoons of Juliano's House Dressing, diced red onions, and field greens from the farmer's market.
As a dinner-dessert I made a big fruit salad (with enough leftovers for breakfast!). I used strawberries, an apple, a peach, one kiwi, blackberries, and blueberries, and tossed them with cinnamon, cardamom, and fresh minced ginger. It was kind of like cheater garam masala, and it was spicy and warming against the refreshing fruit. I meant to add raisins, too, but I'd already been raisin-ing earlier to make these:
I found the recipe from Ani Phyo's new raw dessert book for these tasty Raw Carob Walnut Cookies while perusing We Like It Raw. When I was a vegetarian, one of the things that really interested me in veganism was vegan desserts – they were so much tastier, and not so cloyingly sweet! Now that I'm vegan, I absolutely adore raw desserts above traditional baked vegan desserts. While these raw cookies don't have the same taste and texture properties of a baked cookie, they're quite a lovely mouthful. I know there are a lot of carob haters in this world, but I love carob, and especially raw carob! It's so nummy!
Tomorrow morning I'm planning a slightly more fancy breakfast a la Rawmelettes, though perhaps as a fruit taco kind of thing with the leftover fruit salad. A little date syrup and some nut cream and I'll be in absolute heaven!
Also, I'm planning a tutorial post about green smoothies for the near future. After a lot of comments about different combinations and additions, I think it's high time some green smoothie love gets spread!
I'm all for spreading the green smoothie love! I'm also off to check out that link…those raw cookies look great!
I love that so many people are doing the green smoothie thing! We WILL all be healthy…one vegan blog at a time.
Really like the basil and avocado combo. I think my avocado is in for a treat tomorrow!
I totally put cinnamon and cardamom over my fruit/soy yogurt yesterday and it tasted awesome. Thanks for the tip!!
i love ecopolitan! their salads are fantastic. and i am so enjoying your variety in raw food lately! its very inspirational. also, i think a green smoothie tutorial would be wonderful – hope to see this happen!
Yum! Everything looks amazing, especially those cookies! Question for ya: I always find, as I did on my raw day yesterday, that I'm constantly hungry and have less energy than usual when I eat only raw foods.
I'm wondering if that's because my body is so used to a carb-heavy diet that one day of raw eating sends me into some kind of shock…since you've been doing this for several days (and I know you've had other raw weeks in the past), did it take a day or two to adjust before you started feeling energetic?
Hey Bianca-
I'm certainly no health expert, but I have experienced that feeling of being constantly hungry while eating raw before. I just eat when I'm hungry, but I've definitely noticed that I stay full longer and have more energy when I drink green smoothies for breakfast that have ginger (energy) and some kind of fat (coconut oil, avocado, nut milk) in them. And big ones too! Like a quart. The first day while I was fasting I wasn't any more tired than usual, but come the second day the energy started kicking in.
Reading your blog I feel like you usually have snacks throughout the day, though my memory could be tricking me… A good snack that gives you some energy is dates. It's like raw candy! I highly recommend them. I think, too, when your body is used to a certain way of eating that involves carbs like you say and heavier foods in general, you will probably feel more hungry. It could be that you are working, too, so you're burning up more energy than if it was one of your days off.
Don't know if that helps, but I hope so!
Everything looks so good! I love carob too, so I will have to give those cookies a try–thanks for the link.
So many delicious raw goodies – I'm now hungry for a fresh salad with fresh basil, and fresh berries!
Your fruit salad is so beautiful. I would love some green smoothie education!

Last month during QuakeCon near Dallas, Texas in the United States it became clearly apparent to me that computer audio has become somewhat of a forgotten component in the computer industry when talking to gamers and listening to companies at the gaming event.
When nVidia released the mighty onboard SoundStorm APU (Audio Processing Unit) back with their nForce chipset for the Athlon XP platform, gamers and general PC enthusiasts around the world were thrilled and thought they were in for a change for the years ahead as far as cinematic quality computer audio goes. It seems like they were wrong though as nVidia basically confirmed at QuakeCon that the hardware powered SoundStorm APU which is the only sound solution capable of encoding Dolby Digital (or AC-3) on the fly would not be part of the upcoming nForce4 chipset. When nVidia let this news out to gamers in the crowd, it was clear that the group was thoroughly disappointed.
Not only was the nVidia SoundStorm APU the only sound solution capable of encoding Dolby Digital on the fly (which produces true and accurate 5.1 surround sound via either optical or digital coaxial cable to a set of computer speakers supporting these connections or to an external amplifier), it was also hardware accelerated meaning it does not chew up precise CPU cycles like other inferior onboard solutions which in turn reduces frames per second and do not have the ability to send separate digital signals to anymore than two channels. You'll get 5.1 sound using three analog cables but this type of setup is nowhere near as impressive or realistic as what the SoundStorm produces.
But you might as well forget about high quality and impressive sound solutions such as the SoundStorm as nVidia and their motherboard partners in Taiwan don't seem to think this type of quality sound solution is important to consumers. If you can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on an external PCI sound card from companies like Creative, Phillips or Terratec (which is very understandable), also taking into account that all these sound solutions don't offer on the fly hardware encoding of Dolby Digital, you'll need to stick with the cheap and nasty onboard solutions from companies such as Cmedia and Realtek. While these onboard solutions have improved a little over the past few years as far as CPU utilization and general sound quality production goes, computer users deserve much better.
Steve (our news poster and resident SoundStorm expert) and I collected a total of five different sound solutions including onboard SoundStorm via the ABIT NF7-S motherboard, Terratec Sixpack 5.1+, Sound Blaster Live! Value, Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro and a cheap Cmedia 8738 PCI sound card. We have then compared the true real-world performance (as hard as it was) of all five sound cards in a bunch of today's most popular games over an entire weekend via an expensive high-end Onkyo digital receiver and 5.1 Jamo speaker system . We'll present the benchmark numbers to you and the struggles involved in doing so as well as provide commentary along the way on our thoughts of computer audio solutions and what should be done.
It's the forgotten computer component but we are hoping today we can help kick start the revival of computer audio for the better, highlighting a few key points which seem not important to most of the design and manufacturing leaders in the industry.

I enjoy baking ... mostly cookies. In December 2009, at the request of a friend, I baked and sold my Mac Nut Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies. They were nicely packaged and suitable for gift-giving -- one day, I hope to be able to make a living that way!
I have two older kitties that keep me entertained! Sneakers turned 17 on 2/20/10 and Rascal, a diabetic guy that needs insulin injections twice a day, will be 14, this Summer.
Several times a week, I'm here at the 'Zaar, looking at the Recipe Reviews and saving ones I'd like to make, to my personal Cookbooks.
Without a doubt, I'm most often asked to make my Mac Nut Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies -- they're a buttery, rich, slightly crumbly and extrememly addicting!
I rarely cook a full meal, but do enjoy making Turkey Burgers with the seasoning mix from Williams-Sonoma and for comfort, I make a simple but tasty Fried Rice, featuring Oscar Mayer-brand Turkey Smoked Sausage, Green Onions and topped with Scrambled Eggs.
I eat out often, especially for lunch, and prefer light and fresh cuisines like Vietnamese, Japanese and Thai. Currently, my favorites are the Spicy Pacific Salad Roll from the Whole Foods deli and the Calamari Salad from Assaggio's, a local Italian restaurant.

I have never received as many comments from men as i do when i wear this perfume...men love the scent. I love it too! :)
Not for me at all. The fruit and grass notes were extremely jarring on my skin, and what I thought would be a beautiful composition was slightly disturbing instead.
At first sniff, I enjoyed this one alot. Enough, even, to purchase a full-sized bottle. However, it quickly started to make me sick. The very sweet, unique pear scent became too cloying, and to make things worse, this one lasts forever on me! I think I shall stay away from pear scents from now on.
I absolutely adore this scent! What can I say. Love at first smell~! Reminds me of a sweet succulent juicy pear yet fresh. Thoroughly love it~
I love this fragrance. It is so unlike any I have ever used. The scent is sweet but in a naughty way.
My 12 year old daughter listed "her very first fragrance" as one of the gift wishes for x-mas. I checked out various scents and came accross Petite Chérie - and I immediately knew that was it : sweet pear, peach and fresh cut grass which dries down to a light vanilla - white musc. While she has been using this now for several months, I found myself more and more often to sniff on the bottle and tried it today on me. I am amazed, this works beautifully and makes me feel light and happy ....
I got an sample vial of it initially and thought I would love it to death. Luckily, this full bottle of Petite Cherie came from a swap. The smell was refreshing at first but somehow, I always end up with a headache when I wear it. Smells like I just came out of the washer.
I have to be in the right mood to wear Petite Cherie, but when I am, I like it very much. I can tell there's peach, but it's mostly a wonderful, fresh, sweet pear on me, with a hint of fresh grass; the whole thing subsides into a sweet, dried hay scent. Every once in a while, it feels almost metallic, but usually, it's fine. The EDT doesn't last long enough on me to justify its price; however, the EDP surprised me. Many Annick Goutal fragrances have a reputation for fading very quickly, but the EDP lasts at least ten hours, including six hours of time with me asleep in bed, when most of my lighter, fainter fragrances wear off. (I'd expected it to be mostly or all gone when I woke up, the night after I'd applied it.) If you're a pear fan, give this one a try.
At first I loved this perfume. By the time I was nearing the end of the bottle, I didn't like it at all. The pear notes are really strong (which is the reason I bought it because I rarely smelled pear notes in fragrance back then). But, I think it was just a bit too cloyingly sweet for the long haul. I'm glad I used it up, but I wouldn't repurchase.

Before the War in Heaven the Necrontyr were already incredibly advanced civilization and they sent their colonists out into space on mighty Torch Ships. Now lets say one of those ships survived the 60+ million years of drifting through space. Now it contains the Necrontyr how they once were before the Biotransference damned their species into a soulless existence. And the oldest of Necron worlds are near the Koronous Expanse and the Halo Stars. So now the crew is in whatever system is needed when that incredibly old Torch Ship drifts into the system after millions of years. What would the Necrons do to get it back? I would want to tie it into their quest to become flesh and blood once more.

First you need a reason why the ship isn't well outside the galaxy…
Such a ship powers to 0.99c (or whatever) cruises (most of the journey) and then decelerates for the final leg. If the drive failed, when did it fail? It would have to has failed at a relatively slow velocity to still be in the galaxy. Perhaps the ship now in some wide galactic orbit? But why did it fail? Are the colonists in stasis or is it a generational craft?

As a regular Louisiana visitor and a Cajun and Creole aficionado, it's difficult not to compare Maple Tree Inn, which bills itself as a Louisiana brasserie, to New Orleans restaurants.
Against that standard, the Blue Island restaurant doesn't always stack up.
That doesn't really matter for the Maple Tree Inn is its own very beautiful and unique thing.
The visit to downtown Blue Island is worth the trip alone.
It's a slice of nearly extinct Americana that includes turreted storefronts, vinyl awnings and a smattering of mom-and-pop businesses such as Gayla's Irish Saloon and Jebens Hardware (with windows filled with an assortment of vintage bicycles and hurricane lanterns).
New America has infiltrated Blue Island, too, in the form of Mario's Tacos and Taqueria Durango.
And there at the end of Old Western Avenue is the Maple Tree Inn, a warm red-brick facade trimmed in emerald green (built in 1890) that was once a forbidden Prohibition speakeasy.
The tiny front barroom is all honey-colored woods and outfitted with a generous selection of beer taps.
The beer list is good as any in the Chicago area with such offerings as Abita from Louisiana and some of America's finest craft brews from Lagunitas, Mikkeller and Allagash.
As for those Louisiana standards I referenced, the barbecue shrimp is not full of head-on shrimp soaked in butter and Worcestershire sauce as it is at Mr. B's Bistro in New Orleans' French Quarter.
The shrimp at Maple Tree Inn is butterflied, peeled and doused instead in a tomato sauce that is too tangy but not nearly as comforting.
Fried green tomato wheels are blanketed in a traditional cornmeal, drizzled with tangy remoulade and cut with a nice, sharply acidic peanut slaw. But they're also kind of soggy.
The crawfish etouffee, though, has a nice swampy and velvety gravy much like the one served in NOLA.
That's pretty much where the comparisons end.
I've never seen Maple Tree's Voodoo Nuts in Louisiana. These smoked balls of sweet, roasted garlic cloves are wrapped in spicy andouille sausage that I bet would capture Baton Rouge, La.'s hearts and minds.
Maple Tree has a way with smoke.
The ribs are dry-rubbed and slow-cooked over hickory until a deep pink ring sets into the flesh.
The skin transfigures into a dark, caramelized, lacquered bark. The interior meat is tender but still firm. It is one of the finest ribs in the Chicago area.
The crabe avec crabe — crunchy, briny, soft-shell crabs doused in peppery lemon-butter sauce fortified with additional pulled crab and topped with sweet candied nuts — could only be better if someone laid an arm of fresh king crab over the top.
Then again crabe avec crabe avec crabe is probably too cumbersome to order.The dessert specials rotate regularly, but a recent bananas Foster bread pudding — glazed in buttery brown sugar, custardy bananas and splashed with rum — is the thing to have.
Plenty of New Orleans spots serve that dessert, but few let you wash it down with a Three Floyds beer from nearby Munster, Ind.

Organic Fest opens today
-A A +AThursday, November 22, 2012
NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. urged local farmers Wednesday to shift to high value crops in line with the Capitol's aim to make Negros the food basket of the Philippines.
Marañon made the encouragement in his address during a program of the Negros Fair Trade Assembly and 7th Negros Island Organic Farmers Festival which will have its formal opening today.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala is set to be the guest speaker in the opening rites today.
The launching of Fair Trade-Negros and the National Year of Rice 2013, and the opening of Traditional Farming Equipment Exhibit at the Negros Museum are also set today.
Marañon's encouragement of shifting to high value crops is partly due to the uncertain future faced by the sugar industry come 2015 when tariff on imported sugar will be lifted and locally produced sugar, which accounts for at least 70 percent of the province's economy, will face stiff competition from cheaper imported sugar, primarily from Thailand.
He pointed out that numerous farmers have already proven that there is money in high value crops.
In terms of the market for high value crops, Marañon said there are about 20 million people in Metro Manila who are the potential market for the local crops. He said, "These people in Metro Manila do not produce their own food. We are going to feed them. Our asset is abundant water in the province. In farming, water is very important."
Marañon also bared plans of putting up food terminal markets all over the province, as he emphasized the food security program of his administration.
Other activities lined up today are Palayok Slow Food Cooking contest at the event area at the back of the Provincial Capitol; Fair Trade: Opening Windows of Opportunities for Organic Agriculture Producers and Small Farmers at the Governor's Hall; Food Safety and Quality; Book Launching; and Memories of Philippine Kitchen at the Negros Museum.
Meanwhile, the Fair Trade Center's main focus is to link up with a stable and socially-oriented market in the domestic and export level for the centrifugal sugar of small producers in Negros. This measure hopes to accelerate rural poverty reduction in the province and put up a safety net that will mitigate the impact of zero tariffs on imported sugar by 2015.
Fair Trade market in 2010 brought a total of 111,600 metric tons of sugar from 16 countries, 95 percent of which are centrifugal while 4 percent are organic non-centrifugal. The sales totaled €23.7 million (P1.25 billion), aside from fair trade premiums to farmers worth €4.48 million (P236 million).
For 2012, there is a further increase in orders, with new buyers such as Morrisons and Maltesers and other confectionery producers.
Negros produces 60 percent of the nation's 2.3 million metric tons of sugar every year. At least 79 percent of sugar producers in Negros are small producers owning 5 hectares and below, mostly agrarian reform beneficiaries in the province that has a viable volume for the fair trade market.
If a large portion of its production is brought to the fair trade market, it will generate assured profits and capability-building funds for small producers that could mitigate the 2015 Zero Tariff effects, a fair trade statement said. (TDE)

The travel film, "Natural Wonders of the Southeast Coast," part of the Golden K Kiwanis Travel Film Series, will be screened on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Lewis and Clark Middle School.
The journey begins in Virginia Beach as filmmakers follow the coast south through the Outer Banks of North Carolina on take a 4-wheel adventure along the beach to explore the many lighthouses. A scenic ferry ride takes viewers and the RV back to the mainland where they can head to South Carolina and Myrtle Beach. An eco-tour explains how important the marsh is to the creatures that inhabit it, like oysters, crabs, wading birds and manatees.
The Kennedy Space Center is world famous, but did you know that the Merritt Wildlife Refuge is nearby? The film shows the age-old ritual of the giant loggerhead turtle.
The Everglades is another destination for viewing natural wonders. The national park is one of the most unusual in the country. Alligators and crocodiles are king among the many species of wildlife. Along the way, there's scuba diving with sharks, catching giant tarpon, filming the endangered Key Deer, kayaking through mangroves, and taking an ultralight flight. The film adventure ends in quirky Key West with a trip to the beautiful Dry Tortugas.
