Manipulation and Design
Manipulation is deceptive. Design should be supportive. Theoretically, the two are separated by intention. But increasingly, in practice, the two forces are converging.
This may be inevitable, as fields of sales, marketing, and design collide. I hope not. I'm troubled by the collision, and how it manifests in digital products.
In many ways, the collision is most obvious in startup culture—a culture that demands viral "hockey-stick" style growth over actual and meaningful impact. Get bigger. Acquire users. Scale, scale, scale. Don't worry about monetization or impact; just get a massive user base.
In 1971, Victor Papanek said:
There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a very few of them. And possibly only one profession is phonier. Advertising design, in persuading people to buy things they do not need, with money they do not have, in order to impress others who do not care, is probably the phoniest field in existence today."
I wonder what Papanek's thoughts would have been on venture-backed startups, "growth hacking," and user experience design. I offer here two recent examples, two articulations of manipulation wielded by design. My intent is to spark a discussion concerning ethics in design. Please, let me know your thoughts.
The Full Empty Classroom
I have a course listed on the popular online learning platform Udemy, and 446 students enrolled within two weeks. It has a five star rating. The course is listed at $49. That's $20k in two weeks, and if I can keep this up, I'll be rich.
Before I go on, I must admit a personal backstory of skepticism. I decided to try Udemy (and several other online learning platforms) in order to test my long-standing assumption that online learning is ineffective for teaching and learning theory. When confronted with complex discourse and complicated topics in a MOOC or online environment, I don't think most students learn very much. I don't think teachers teach very much, either, as most online platforms are just video delivery services. I don't think investors in these systems will actually earn very much, and I don't think institutions that partner with the systems realize the expected benefits. We're in an ed-tech bubble, but this one seems to have lasted as long as computers have been affordable: we've played this game before with LMS, and computers in the classroom, and iPads in K-12.
But it's been years since I personally participated in an online class, as either a professor or a student, and so I was challenging myself to validate my assumptions in a more rigorous manner. Maybe the emperor of Kingdom MOOC really is wearing clothes. And so I signed up to teach a Udemy course, filmed one of my lectures—a lecture that is extraordinarily well received when delivered in person—and followed the Udemy setup instructions.
Udemy recommends that you have your friends review the course:
Invite Family & Friends to review your course: E-mail 10 of your closest friends and family and ask them to write an HONEST review of your course. Create a coupon (instructions here) to give them free access. Having a few reviews will help you get more students enrolled in your courses.
That seems sketchy, but only a little, because after all, what are friends for? I recruited 10 friends to examine the course. They all gave my five star reviews and had some very nice things to say.
Fundamentally, it's about taking responsibility for the things we unleash in the world.
And then I read this article, about how Bogdan Milanovich got 500 students in his class, and this article, about how Justin Mitchel got 1400 students in his class. The "technique" is simple: create a free coupon code, and publicize all hell out of it. Get it on slickdeals. Put it on reddit. (Udemy offers this helpful tip: "You will probably have at least one commenter accuse you of violating Reddit terms or soliciting. This is to be expected; Redditers are very protective of maintaining harmony in the community. They may also flag your post as inappropriate.") Udemy urges instructors to follow in the footsteps of Milanovich and Mitchel. Grow your userbase with free students, and when the masses experience your awesome teaching, you'll end up with hundreds of five-star reviews.
So I did it. I posted it to reddit, and it was spotted by a couponing site, and suddenly, my class was full.
And then I waited, to see what people would think about the content. Would they ask questions? Would they engage? Would they review the course?
My "students" didn't do any of those things, because they weren't actually students. They were couponers. They signed up for the course because it was free, not because they wanted to take it. And they didn't actually watch any of the content. 428 of the people that signed up haven't watched even a minute of the hour-long course. They gained nothing, except a minor dopamine kick from getting perceived value for free.
But Udemy gained two things: They gained massive growth, which will make their investors (who put 16M into the company) very happy when they try to unload. And more importantly, they gained my tacit participation in a game of manipulation. Because this is what it looks like to people who now search for the word "innovation" on Udemy:
That appears like a full, extraordinarily positive, extraordinarily successful course. The grouping of the five-star rating and the number of people in the class makes it appear as if those things are related. The sheer number of people in the class looks like a validation that online learning works, that Udemy is a successful educational platform, and that instructors can make it rich bringing their course work online. That tiny piece of design almost serves as the validation of disruption of the entire education industry: we don't need classrooms, colleges, administrators, overhead, or anything else about traditional higher education, because this online stuff works.
Viral Growth Strategy
My friend Brian just took a job at a successful company. He moved from Austin to SF, and last time I talked to him, he was having a great time. So I was surprised when I received an email from him that looked like this:
From: Brian
Subject: Quick Favor
I'm starting my next entrepreneurial project and looking for the right people to do it with. So, I'm applying to join FounderDating - a handpicked network of entrepreneurs. As part of the application process, I need people to vouch (aka act as a reference) for me. I'm hoping you can do this for me as they won't look at applications without it.
It's quick, just click this link: http://members.founderdating.com/
This is a really important part of the process, so thanks for your help,
I emailed him to see what was up. He told me that he was happily employed and wasn't starting a new entrepreneurial project. He had no idea that FounderDating was sending that email to his friends.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but I got a request on LinkedIn the same day from someone I hadn't spoken with in years, Christine. It looked like this:
From: Christine
Subject: Vouching for you...
I was asked to vouch for a few people to join FounderDating - an invite-only network of entrepreneurs (50% engineers) all ready to start their next side-project or company. You're on my short list. I highly recommend applying.
Apply here > http://members.founderdating.com/application/?frvch=18531 (Note: copy and paste this link if it's not clickable).
Check it out,
I emailed her. She had no idea that it was sending LinkedIn requests to people.
Turns out I'm not the only one receiving these requests, or puzzled by them. Here's a thread on hackernews referencing these same emails. The debate is interesting, and so is this comment by the founder of FounderDating:
We not only state (in white writing) on black backgroud) that "a message will be sent to your chosen linkedin contact) and let you see the message but it's also completely opt-in - no tricks where you can't find the "x". People can choose to a) not send or choose who they send a message to. There is nothing sneaky about it. If someone doesn't read the line "this will send a message" there isn't much we can do about that.
Here's a screenshot of how the no-tricks, non-sneaky designs looks in action:
These screens were created, on purpose, to manipulate people into sending mail to their connections without fully realizing what they were doing. The wording of the emails was selected, on purpose, to manipulate these connections to sign up for a service without fully realizing what they were doing. The designer is counting on people to read quickly, to avoid thinking critically, and to trust. Both Brian and Christine trusted, and when they did, the designer leveraged Brian and Christine's personal relationship with me in a way they weren't expecting. If the output was to empty my bank account, this would be called spear phishing. Here, it's called a "viral growth strategy."
Most design is manipulative. Physical affordances manipulate people to hold or push or pull things. The urgency of alerts manipulates us to take action. Colors shift our mood or direct our attention. This is interaction design 101, applying basic principles of cognitive psychology to our work in order to leverage mapping, visibility, physical and logical constraints, labels, and feedback. Interaction design is largely about removing cognitive friction or producing a happy path—in order to manipulate someone into realizing a goal. That type of manipulation is typically called "helping," and it is often, actually, helpful.
Pelle Ehn describes this as, ideally, an emancipatory practice—one that identifies with oppressed groups and supports their transcendence in action and reflection. It would be a stretch to describe online learners or startup founders as oppressed, yet the larger point is that of design as rooted in a historical context of empowerment.
Participatory design places a heavy check on manipulation by including the people who will use or live with the design in the process of its creation. An empathetic approach means feeling what someone else must feel, truly finding a way to live their pain or wants or needs or desires, and many designers embrace this approach. Design frequently serves people who otherwise cannot serve themselves. But if that's true, then there exists a dynamic of disproportionate power influence. Design is biased and cannot be apolitical.
I fear there are practitioners who are competent or even extraordinary craftsman, but have learned no real ethic, no guiding set of axioms in which to ground their work. I don't mean that designers are lacking morals, or are even bad people. I mean that many practitioners seem to have no consistent set of values that they automatically fall to when doing their jobs.
Chris Nodder has written an excellent book about this called Evil by Design. His book is organized around the 7 deadly sins, as if to imply some cardinal vice designers can't help but avoid. Yet other disciplines with extreme scaled-influence or disproportionate power influence are required to understand the ethical ramifications of their work. Engineers learn ethics during their undergraduate studies. All doctors study medical ethics. I learned only a little about the ethics of design during my formal design education, and I didn't really understand the little that I learned. I certainly didn't respect it as a legitimate course of study, because I had the design hammer, and the world was full of nails. I intended to do good, and so of course it was good that I would do.
I now try to respect a consistent design ethic. It makes design harder. It also makes it more meaningful. I feel that our industry needs a massive check on the broad power we hold and the manipulation that comes with it. It is not enough to intend to do good. It is not enough to simply intend for people to learn online or intend for people to find partners to run their startups. That intent must be qualified, and the qualification happens at a micro, detailed, tiny level of design specificity.
It happens not with a broad stroke ("I think about people when I design") but in every detailed product decision, comparing each decision to a set of values. It's about asking questions like "does the way this is presented get people to do something that helps them, or helps me?" It's about avoiding decisions that purposefully prey on human nature—a human nature to be intellectually lazy, or to scan instead of reading, or to consider things that are positioned next to each other as related, or to avoid reading the terms of service, or to mislead and misdirect.
Fundamentally, it's about taking responsibility for the things we unleash in the world.

I really enjoyed your article! I'm glad to see that there are other designers out there who plan to hold their ground when asked to build deceptiveness into their designs. It's all about intent, which is exactly what you said. We should be HELPING the user see what is best for them and the actions that are possible. Creatively and effectively point out the gotchas in the terms instead of hiding them. Clearly map out actions so that users know exactly what they are getting into. In the end, if one chooses to use deceptive practices in their designs, it's your company's reputation that suffers even more than the people you've deceived.
I struggled with the lack of ethics discussions in collage a lot. The entire field of design becomes mistrusted as designers work without ethics.
It's even difficult to clearly understand what types of ethical issues exist in design with so few mentions of it.
Loved this article!
So I found this article a little muddled and off the mark. Your squeezing the argument / observation into the topic of design when really it's not. This is not 'design' per se that, it's more like the 'Viral Loop' mechanic which is crucial for growth even if a little irritating on occasion. Hotmail have always done it by simply adding 'sent using Hotmail' on the bottom on emails... Does that make Microsoft big evil puppet masters of users or simply smart enough to realise success of a product comes through scale. Facebook the same... 1 person recruits 2 and so on. It's a necessity not a manipulation. Viral Loop mechanics are baked into pretty much every successful service story on the planet.
Persuasive Design - Manipulation.
A>B / MVT - Manipulation.
Behavioural Analytics - Manipulation without consent...
Don't analyse a problem that doesn't exist.
I have a UX course on Udemy and before I launched it, like you, I was sceptical about online training. It's based on a course that I've given over the last few years and when I deliver the course I see the real learning take place in the design activities and the group discussions. I used to joke that the 'lectures' were simply my way of letting delegates get their breath back between design activities. So when I put it on Udemy I expected to get a couple of dozen people sign up and held out little hope for student engagement.
Six months later the course has over 1300 students and 75 reviews. Students ask me questions daily via Udemy's Q&A forum and take part in (admittedly rudimentary) activities, like quizzes, an online card sort and video observation. I deliberately chose not to offer the course for free on sites like Reddit and Slickdeals and maybe that's the difference: the vast majority of my students paid for it, so maybe they have more motivation to listen to the lectures. The only people who got my course for free are the handful of people I asked to review it at launch and people who have paid to attend my in-person training.
Whoah! Hold on one darn momentino there, hoss! I'm one of the folks who GENUINELY signed up for your course - which is excellent, by the way - and I am *really enjoying it*. To get even more benefit from it, a really helpful colleague (take a bow, N) has arranged for a group of us UX professionals to get together after watching your online lectures to discuss them, and see how we might possibly use our learnings in our own working methodologies...
I'm usually loathe to part with $$ online, but this time I was happy (ok, reasonably un-grumpy) to cough up the full fee. I've also worked recently with online learning projects and overcame my initial skepticism (through field research) to realize the benefits, especially for students with limited access to educational materials.
I've also recently discussed 'dark patterns' with my UX colleagues, and in my view, our professional responsibility to avoid these.
So, I'd ask you to think carefully and not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
- Your lecture is great
- The method of delivery works well for me
- works well for my colleagues too
- and it would probably be the only way I would get to see this; as I doubt I could make it in person to Austin (much as I'd like to)
So, I'd actually like to see MORE of your lectures online. I couldn't give a darn about the coupons.
And the kind of hucksterism/chicanery you describe above is always going to be tactically pretty futile, and strategically disastrous, as the hucksters eat their own credibility alive.
You don't build long-term trust by trying to trick people. And any educational business needs to be credible and trust-worthy.
Keep up the good work and, as Brendan Behan said, **** the Begrudgers!
Designers have the power to influence the trajectory of entire civilizations. The question is, will that power be used to create a society with more love, grit, passion, openness, genuine connections and relationships, and equality?
The biggest sociopolitical issues of our times such as wealth inequality and decreasing social mobility was designed, when we collectively chose how we are going to organize ourselves. We need designers with strong ethical principles now more than ever, to come up with creative solutions that genuinely benefits everyone.

Hidden Gems Sale spotlight: Eve Gilbert | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under sales specials, Eve Gilbert | 10 Jul 2008 11:00 PM |
Every day in July we're spotlighting books from our month-long Hidden Gems Sale, wherein we're featuring some of our under-the-radar backlist titles and encouraging you to try them by offering them at a nice discount of 25% off!
Today's installment features the debut volume from Eve Gilbert, which garnered high praise and an introduction from Robert Crumb:
Populated by junkies, grifters, hustlers, strippers, pimps and various strains of victims and criminals, this is a biting and satirical portrait of America as seen from the lower depths. A collection of autobiographical stories, this volume by Eve Gilbert allows readers full access to her decidedly unglamorous world, filled with people you probably hope never to meet. "The Real Resume" is a depressingly realistic tour of the various wage-slave jobs Gilbert has held over the years. Another highlight is "Pregnate?" — which was written in a San Francisco porn store while Gilbert was waiting for an interview — in which Gilbert relates how she ended up pregnant despite a safety net of latex, with no money for even a pregnancy test, let alone an abortion. Unflinchingly candid and caustic, Gilbert has one of the most uniquely confident and iconoclastic voices to hit the world of graphic novels in several years. If you put Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski and Kathy Acker in a blender and added the ratty, unadorned drawing style of Charles Rodriguez, you'd have some idea of just how hot and incendiary a brew this is.

One summer afternoon, while waiting in her car at an intersection, Helen Courtney, 47, was adjusting her necklace when she felt a lump in her lower neck. A few days later, her primary care physician confirmed that she had six lumps on her thyroid.
Helen got a referral to a surgeon, who said the nodules were most likely benign but sent her for a fine needle aspiration. (This is a type of biopsy during which tissue or fluid is removed using a thin needle for examination under a microscope.) "I was still thinking that it wasn't going to be anything," Helen recalls. But a week later, she got a call from the doctor's office saying that she needed to come in to talk about the test results.
"It was almost surreal when he said, 'We found cancer and we have to take your thyroid out. But you don't have to do it with me. You can get a second opinion.'" Helen had been diagnosed with papillary carcinoma, the most common type of thyroid cancer.
A friend whose father was treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center urged Helen to go there, if only for a consultation. Taking her friend's advice, Helen called and scheduled an appointment with Memorial Sloan Kettering head and neck surgeon Ashok Shaha.
A Team Approach to Care
When Helen and her husband, George, met with Dr. Shaha a few weeks later, he agreed that surgery to remove her thyroid in a procedure called thyroidectomy was necessary. He explained to Helen and George that if she came to Memorial Sloan Kettering, she would be regularly monitored after the operation by him and his colleague, an endocrinologist, Dr. Michael Tuttle, and that she would need to take replacement thyroid hormone medication. A regimen of radioactive iodine might also be necessary, he told her, to ensure that all the cancer was destroyed. (Radioactive iodine, a form of internal radiation therapy, is taken orally. The radioactive iodine is taken up by the thyroid gland and destroys thyroid cells.)
Even though they liked Dr. Shaha and felt good about his approach, Helen and George were uncertain whether to come to Memorial Sloan Kettering for her treatment, or to continue with her surgeon closer to their home in the Hudson Valley, about an hour north of Manhattan. As they stood outside Dr. Shaha's clinic discussing their options, a woman with a noticeable scar on her neck approached them.
"The woman told us that she had overheard our conversation," Helen recalls. "She said that she also hadn't known where to go for her thyroid cancer treatment, but she'd done all her research and had great results with Dr. Shaha." Helen and George took her positive endorsement as a good sign and decided to proceed with the team approach of Dr. Shaha and Dr. Tuttle.
How to Talk with Their Teenage Daughter
Throughout this process, the couple decided not to give their 15-year-old daughter, Allison, many details about Helen's diagnosis. With Allison so busy with schoolwork and athletics, they didn't want to worry her until they felt confident that everything would be fine. But they quietly alerted her friends' parents about Helen's surgery, just to be sure she would have a few other people looking out for her. Thinking back, Allison says, "I didn't understand why all of my friends kept inviting me over!"
"It was interesting how our friends would give us different advice on whether we should tell her or not," says Helen. "But I wanted to do it in my own time and in my own way." George continues: "Even though it was serious, we had all of the faith in the world in Dr. Shaha and Dr. Tuttle and that the cancer would be gone after her surgery."
Surgery & Follow-Up Care
In late October 2007, a few weeks after meeting Dr. Shaha, Helen underwent surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering. "I came home on Halloween with my own Frankenstein scar!" Helen jokes. About a week after her operation, she had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Shaha and met with Dr. Tuttle for the first time. Based upon the results of surgery and the pathology report, her doctors did not feel that radioactive iodine was necessary, but Dr. Tuttle started Helen on thyroid hormone therapy to replace the hormones that the thyroid normally makes and to decrease the risk of recurrence.
In the months that have followed, Helen's recovery from surgery has gone well and she has become used to the hormone medication. "I've been able to more or less maintain my daily activities with only slight modifications," she reports. Helen has resumed her full-time job as a pharmaceutical representative, and she and her family enjoyed a weeklong vacation to the Grand Canyon in April, 2008.
No Regrets
Even though the hospital was an hour away from their home, Helen and George have no regrets about their decision to come to Memorial Sloan Kettering. "Some people don't want to go there because of the distance," says George, "but I always tell them that they should go to the best. Don't worry about driving back and forth — your friends will get you down there."
" I think because I have a great family and everyone around me is so positive, I feel like nothing's going to happen to me! "
Helen Courtney
One of the biggest surprises for Helen has been the positive attention her scar receives from the people around her. "When Dr. Shaha told me about the incision he was going to make, he said that I should 'wear it with pride' — meaning that I didn't have to be bashful," says Helen, touching her neck lovingly. "I find that I hardly wear necklaces anymore. I'm not afraid to show my scar and I don't try to hide it. I'm not embarrassed by it. This is where I am, this is what I've been through, and if I can help anyone else by them noticing it, then that's good."
Although she realizes that hers was a treatable type of cancer, Helen has come away from her diagnosis with a newfound appreciation for her life as well as for her family and friends. "I had one or two thoughts early on when I wondered if this was it, if I was going to die," she admits. "But you kind of have to go through all of that — what's going to happen to my family, that kind of thing. Cancer is such a scary word, but I think because I have a great family and everyone around me is so positive, I feel like nothing's going to happen to me!"

http://www.diseno-art.com/images/test_in_progress.jpg— Final Exam
Jundo and Taigu's series on Zazen for Beginners — for, we are all always beginners — concludes today, although truly never ending, never beginning.
The most important thing to take with you, in this "race to nowhere but here," is to keep on sitting. And though this practice is beyond all thought of time and space, give it time! Already, a few beginner folks have written me to express disappointment at not yet seeing the expected inner peace, wisdom and harmony that they thought comes within a few days from Zazen practice. Keep on sitting, give it some time!
Zazen is not that different from many skills in that way, such as learning to play the piano, speak a new language. So, some frustration is to be expected, and is even part of the process as the little "self" resists being put "out of a job"… for the self resists dropping resistance, does not like to give up its likes and dislikes, selfishly fights losing its selfishness, does not know how to truly be still without need to keep moving. "Enlightenment" is neither sudden nor gradual, and thus is a lifetime practice. Things take time… do not happen overnight… and need to become a natural part of the body-mind.
The "harmony and balance" of Zazen greatly derives from learning to accept the moment with all the body-and-mind, being "at one" with what is as we drop demands and resistance to changing circumstances, thus going with the flow and being just the very flowing itself, finding stillness even as and through the motion of life, dropping desires and demands for how the frustrated "me/myself/I"' self wants things to "should be" vs. "life just as we find life". Yes, if you are having difficulty to sit still, and to drop demands and judgments of "how things should be"… it is because the self resists.
However, although there is no where to go in this practice, "nothing to attain," we do get better at it with constant practice!
As I have been heard to say many times, there is no way to do Zazen "wrong" — even when you are doing it completely "wrong." That does not mean, though, that there is not a "right" and "wrong" way to "do" it!!
So, how does one know when one is doing it right!?! The following is the closest I can make to a litmus test for someone's Practice:
Allowing things to just be the way they are, not judging, not resisting, being with the flow, allowing "happy" days to be happy and "sad" days to be sad, all while dropping all idea of "happy" and "sad," whether really enjoying or really not enjoying… fully dropping away any and all thought of doing Zazen "right" or "wrong"… THIS IS DOING IT RIGHT. And when you are doing it right, it will usually feel like you are doing it right, for there is no resistance, and a great sense of balance.
Fighting things, wishing things were some other way that how they are, judging, resisting, going against the grain and the flow, wishing sad days were happy or happy days were happier… filled with a sense of self bumping up against all the other "selfs," with a mind held by thoughts of doing Zazen right or doing it wrong… THIS IS DOING ZAZEN WRONG. And when you are doing it wrong, it will usually feel like you are doing it wrong, for there is resistance, and a sense of imbalance.
But as well, even at those times when Zazen feels wrong, when there is resistance or imbalance… it is still right, still Zazen, still just what it is. IT CANNOT BE WRONG. This last point is vital to understanding.
So, we have to work very diligently to sit every day, and strive with great effort, all to realize that there is nothing to attain… It is the way of effortless effort. We must aim carefully for the goalless goal!
Being the "Buddha" all along, and having not a thing about you that is in need of change… that does not mean you don't have some work to do to realize truly that you are the Buddha without need of change. To realize that you are never, from the outset, in need of change is a TREMENDOUS CHANGE! There is absolutely nothing about you and the universe (not two!) to add or take away, and tasting that there is "nothing to add" is an important addition!
By Just Sitting to-the-marrow, radically dropping all goals, judgments, attempts to get somewhere or to achieve some realization. That gets you somewhere… a REVOLUTIONARY REALIZATION! A REVOLUTION IN LIFE!

All hands on board for this memory game with Oobi. Find the missing objects and win stars.
Watch Oobi every day on Nick Jr.
Give Oobi a hand in this remembering game. Oobi displays three items for your little learner to remember, for example, "hat, shirt, mittens." One is removed and replaced with a question mark. Below, Oobi offers two choices, one, the original item in the initial set, and the other an incorrect or extraneous object. Your child then must remember which item was in the original set and click on the missing item. If the correct item is clicked, your child wins a star. If the incorrect one is clicked, Oobi tells your child "uh-uh." Finish the game by winning all three stars.
Parent Tip: The gameplay is pretty simple, but young players may need help placing the cursor over the item they want to click.

Tour explores Maidu way of life
Sierra Institute Center of Forestry invites residents and visitors to experience a Maidu way of life on a special tour Saturday, May 15.
Farrell Cunningham, whose Mountain Maidu ancestors have lived in the valley for thousands of years, will guide the tour.
He has a wealth of knowledge of both Maidu and Indian Valley history and is one of the few remaining speakers of the Maidu language.
Cunningham also has a vast knowledge of native vegetation and is active in the promotion of traditional ecology, or Native stewardship of the land.
He currently teaches Maidu language courses in Grass Valley.
Marvin Cunningham, his father, occasionally joins the tour to share his expertise and knowledge. He was born and raised in the Genesee Valley and has lived here all his life.
Both men are very knowledgeable about the family's history and details surrounding Maidu culture in this area of Indian Valley.
The tour will begin at 10 a.m., with refreshments and orientation at the Sierra Institute office on Main Street in Taylorsville.
Then it will be time to board the bus for a drive out to the historical Heart K Ranch in Genesee.
Once there, participants will enjoy a casual one-mile hike on the ranch, stopping along the way to discuss Maidu history, culture and language, as well as native vegetation, food gathering and preparation, and forest management.
Cunningham will lead participants in a meandering walk reminiscent of nomadic ways, while he tells stories and talks about vegetation and landscape features.
Participants will visit an oak grove, where he will talk about the importance of acorns to the Maidu and discuss other food sources and preparation.
Shortly after the walk, participants will stop at an old apple orchard for a picnic lunch and more stories.
The Feather River Land Trust owns the Heart K Ranch, and trust president Betsy Kraemer manages the property.
Kraemer will describe the role of the land trust and discuss the history and restoration of buildings on the ranch. Participants will be back in Taylorsville no later than 4 p.m.
Space on this tour is limited; call early and make reservations.
Morning refreshments, lunch and bus transportation are provided as part of the tour,
The cost is $50 per person or $95 per couple.
For reservations, visit sierrainstitute.us or call 284-1022.

have purchased 1000 ct egyptian cotton sheets from overstock in the past and am disappointed in this set. these sheets were more like 400 to perhaps 600 ct in softness and thickness. in addition i found them to be somewhat skimpy in size. i would not buy them again nor recommend them to others.
These are the scratchiest 1000-thread counts I've ever encountered, which I presume is why the price is so reasonable. I expect these will soften with use but I still would have preferred a softer texture from the start, as is achieved by other high-thread-count sheets. Pros: deep fitted pocket fits my sleep number mattress + 4 inch memory foam topper. The color I ordered (stone/taupe) is beautiful. Cons: unpleasant texture
The color of the sheets is lovely but the quality is very poor. I have washed them many times and while the sheets themselves don't seem to pill, they literally shed onto everything, i.e., mattress pad, blankets, quilt, nightgown and carpet. The seams in the pillow cases started coming apart after one wash.
As the title implies, I've been buying high thread-count sheets for years now. When you first buy a pair of high thread-count sheets, sure, they're heavy, but they shouldn't be overly stiff as these sheets are. And with washing, they get softer over time. I have sheets from about 6 years ago, that, while they are getting a bit worn now, are probably the softest sheets ever, and they were like that when I took them out of the package. These are probably a double ply sheet. They're very stiff and yes, heavy, but it's like wearing a canvas blanket. I've had them for about six months now and they haven't really softened up at all, like I hoped they would. I don't know who you're trying to fool, Overstock, but it isn't me. You used to have great sheets, but not anymore. These are cast-offs.
The word santeen conjures up images of satin and silk and softness...not scratchiness, which these sheet are. I've had them close to a year now and through several washes and they have not softend one bit. I won't go so far as to say they feel like cardboard. They are a bit heavy, so I only sleep on them during the fall/winter season. The photo makes them look shiny, but they are not shiny at all. However, they are a nice chocolate color. I have sheets with lower thread count that feel silkier than these. These sheets aren't awful, but they do not live up to their reputation.
The sheets are a heavy, satin sheen cotton of high quality. We are so pleased with them that we ordered a second set.
These are very nice and very well-made sheets, but they are very thick and heavy and therefore a bit stiff. This is the most I have ever paid for sheets and I kind of wish I would have sent them back. We are saving them for winter time, because they're too hot for the summer.
These sheets are wonderful quality, and should last me for years. I will probably purchase another set.
These are great sheets at a great buy.
Nothing better than climbing into 1000 thread cotton sheets each night.

Re: Tesla Has Solutions To Many Of These Problems

Actually, the $25K came from me. I got it from a former Tesla executive who presented to our local IEEE chapter. The $40K came from an incident where a couple of owners had let the cars run out of charge. In 2009 the CEO of the company, Elon Musk, quoted a replacement cost of $36K. They were also selling futures on a new battery for $12K. This is all a matter of public record.
The packs need to be actively managed. If the control system goes down, the pack will have problems, and perhaps fail. They are actually assembled by hand from a very large number of cells about the size of a standard battery (I think it is AA size, but it could be slightly larger).

Where does the 25k battery pack figure come from, motorhead? The free charging stations are free only for the Tesla customers, but anyone will be able to use them. Actually a great investment to get in on the energy distribution network of the future. Obviously, there are no investors that would invest in a product that gave everything away for free, if so, they would call it charity, there is always a catch somewhere, the smart people look for the catch, and can read between the lines.

Tesla and Frisker have both raised money claiming they will have $30k electric cars.
I'm still trying to figure how you can sell a car for $30k that has a $25k battery pack ?
And how do you make a profit on free charging? How do you raise investment money to build free-charging stations? I'd like to see that prospectus.

surely the lack of proof over the existence of AGW and god is the same ?
Surely no. You're conflating religion, which is faith and without uncertainty, with science, which is evidence-based and always has uncertainty by definition.
Please provide references where the IPCC has backpedaled on its predictions. Where is the "dropping return of the AGW argument"? Where do NASA satellites disprove AGW by showing "there's lots of cooling going on"?
if someone can categorically prove that CO2 is dangerous I will be against it too
No one is claiming there aren't uncertainties, otherwise it's not science. Just that the uncertainties are down to being somewhere between we're screwed and we're truly doomed. Obviously, if you need 100% proof without uncertainty, then you'll stay in denial, convenient for a piggish lifestyle and to not being part of the solution. Hence the problem is harder to solve. That's society's dilemma, the mother of all tragedy of the commons.

fixitsan: yup. you are a denier, I said it. Your first paragraph ALMOST gets to a good point, but the rest leaves much to be desired. Number 1: No evidence of God exists whatsover. There IS a lot of evidence that points to the conclusion of a warming trend GLOBALLY. Your argument is based on faith, but in science, faith plays no part. Here is a classic Fruedian slip: "i am shrewd enough to know that denying means refuse to believe the truth" You are a denier by your own definition, because you fail to examine the facts, and instead go on your feelings. I would like you to examine the evidence on this page before you say "the ANTArctic ice is this year at it's greatest volume ever recorded"
and here:
You are probably referring to the SEA ICE EXTENT, which is a far cry from "the ANTArctic ice" which on one side of Antarctica is high, and other regions are low, mainly due to prevailing winds (it seems). The acutal amount of ice in Antarctica is decreasing, and more sea ice extent would lead one to believe that more ice is separating from the continent, leading to the more evidence of global warming. Here is an reality check concerning any increase in ice extent in the Antarctic (BTW: The Arctic ice extent is at record lows). This was at the bottom of the article, so probably went unnoticed by our brilliant contributor, who overlooked the first several charts, to find the chart at the end of the article he thought would support his biased and unresearched notions.
Dr. Sharon Stammerjohn of INSTAAR, University of Colorado, provides a review of the differences between Arctic and Antarctic climate controls on sea ice and helps place the events in context.
climate is warming over much of the Antarctic continent
, as shown in several recent studies (e.g., Steig et al., 2009) and is related to Pacific Ocean warming (Ding et al., 2010) and circumpolar winds.
Both warming and ozone loss act to strengthen the circumpolar winds in the south.
This is due primarily to persistently cold conditions prevailing on Antarctica year-round, and a cold stratosphere above Antarctica due to the ozone hole.
Stronger winds generally act to blow the sea ice outward, slightly increasing the extent, except in the Antarctic Peninsula region
, where due to geography, winds from the north have also increased, pushing the ice southward. Thus, sea ice extent near the northwestern Antarctic Peninsula continues to decline rapidly, while areas in the Ross Sea and the southern Indian Ocean show significant increases (Stammerjohn et al., 2012).
Comparing winter and summer sea ice trends for the two poles is problematic since different processes are in effect
. An expansion of winter Antarctic ice could be due to cooling, winds, or snowfall, whereas Arctic summer sea ice decline is more closely linked to decadal climate warming."
to fixitsan: Deniers are usually the people who read the headlines and never actually look at the evidence in detail.

I agree there appears to be bias, reporting on space travel many technical reporters will go to great lengths to share their hopes, but on EV's the same reporters don't have hopes at all, a lot of the time. Why have hope for space travel when it isn't going to happen, not for a useful purpose at least, in your lifetime ? Surely having hopes for EV's isn't a sin ?
I have to disagree with the use of the CO2 'denier' label though. Is someone who doesn't believe in god a god denier ? surely the lack of proof over the existence of AGW and god is the same ?
If ten years ago i had made a prediction of 20% return on your investment over 30 years of investing with my company, yoiu might have been sceptical, but might have thoguht it possible and even believable, and so invested with me. Then over the past ten years my prediction of the level of return has diminished, from a hardcore 20%, to 10%, then 5%, then ' Probably will return something'
I'm using this investment analogy because the IPCC has continued to reduce it's predicted environmental 'disaster returns on investment' continuously over the past 10 years from 'All hell and fury and floods and plagues' to 'probably going to see something different, somewhere'.
All I ask is, at what point int he financial investment scenario above do you realise there is asomething wrong with the predictions ? Most people would remove their financial and intellectual investment well before the return dropped to just 5%.....so why are so many people still investing in the dropping return of the AGW argument.
If I am labelled a denier for being shrewd with my intellectual investment (after doing much research and watching how the IPCC have continually reduced the level of predicted disasterous effects) then so be it. but i am shrewd enough to know that denying means refuse to believe the truth, and as yet the IPCC hasn't been able to say just what the truth is, without changing it later on, and that, looks a lot like con to me.
I am against pollution which is dangerous, and if someone can categorically prove that CO2 is dangerous I will be against it too, but for now, the trees which are increasing their rate of growth as a benefit from higher CO2 levels, and the debatable temperature 'rises' (depends who's data you use, NASA satallites say there's lots of cooling going on and the ANTArctic ice is this year at it's greatest volume ever recorded) I am going to hold off from intellectual investment with what appears to be an intellectual con.

If that shows a "drumbeat" of bias against EVs and sustainability, then we sure have a funny way of showing it.
Mr. Murray, I couldn't have put it better myself. It's funny that you may equivocate or have mitigating words defensive of EVs buried in your articles, but people who aren't enthusiasts or don't have time to read these only see their DN Daily Update in their IN boxes with titles including words like "...Volt fires..." (plural). I've found these two UBM pieces:
Then in the article that is the first link in your comment, you subsequently wrote:
Chevy Volt batteries have
caught fire
. The National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) is investigating, and General Motors has offered to buy Volts back from any owner who fears the electric cars will catch fire.Chevy Volt batteries have
caught fire
So does it mean the Chevy Volt is unsafe? The short answer is, no -- ...
You used the plural of battery, yet the previous link, written by Brian Fuller, lists 3 fires of which 2 were said to be not caused by the Volt. I've since only seen the debacle referred to as fires, as in > 1. If there was more than one NHTSA or other fire, I haven't read it reported in DN or elsewhere. Something's missing or there's a fear factor not being accounted for.
Then, you got the jump on the Volt cost issue with this article you wrote:
Tell me what sounds optimistic or positive about this for EV's. You include:
(high price)
numbers place the Volt close to low-end luxury vehicles. As we've said before, the Volt is a car for those with an untraditional sense of luxury -- well-to-do people who are willing to spend the extra money to clean up the environment. ..."
Ouch. Then, after quoting two anti-EV commenters on this site (great research!), there's:
That's probably why,
before the fire investigations
(my emphasis)
affected sales
(helped by UBM articles)
, the Volt was still running below its projected sales levels for 2011. Even with a big December, it fell about 2,300 units short of its year-end sales goal of 10,000. So it's a stretch to blame everything on bad publicity.
Yes, we know EVs are pricey until they mature in technology and in economies of scale. They need to be produced in higher volumes before they can compete with high volume cars like the Cruze. That's why financial incentives are needed from the government. Then in that same article you raise the question of whether the Volt can continue in the marketplace. Where did that come from?! You seem to be among the first, if not
first, to have suggested that the Volt may or could be terminated. Of all the EV sources I read, Greencarreports, Autoblog, gm-volt.com, mynissanleaf, etc., I'd never heard that suggested anywhere else. What effect was this supposed to have?
Last comes your March 7 article addressing speculation that the spring production line shutdown again spelled doom for the car:
WTF?! It doesn't matter that you conclude the opposite, it's the threat you lend credence to. It's as if my wife hurt her leg and then you announce to the world that it's not because I beat her. Here's more cold water:
When the Volt returns, however, it will still face stiff competition. The Chevy Cruze Eco, built on the same platform as the Volt, offers more than 40 mpg and costs half of what the Volt does.
I've driven both cars and the Cruze, while nice for what it is, is no Volt. It doesn't have the latter's high torque, smooth, quiet propulsion and in the real world few Cruze owners would ever see 40MPG. The average Volt owner sees 128MPG from gasoline.
So why the article and its pessimism? Do you think it helped drive perspective buyers to dealerships or away from them? I understand it's not your job to sell their cars, but this was just doing the opposite. Is that your job, to drum up fears and doubts?
And finally regarding another topic critical to sustainability, there is the regularly and oft repeated Daily Update headline, which I most recently received just today(!):
Global Warming: Are the Skeptics Right?
Is the science of global warming incontrovertible? Sixteen distinguished scientists say no.
Why does UBM keep linking this? Of the hundreds or more climate scientists in the world--not just scientists in general--, at least 97% of the experts believe global warming is a grave and serious threat to our planet, and probably underestimated in its effects, rather than overestimated. Yet a mere 16 known deniers, some of whom are not even climate scientists wrote this letter that has been debunked in Forbes and the Guardian, among other publications.
That last link mentions that "...
255 members of the United States National Academy of Sciences wrote a comparable (but scientifically accurate) essay on the realities of climate change and on the need for improved and serious public debate around the issue, offered it to the Wall Street Journal, and were turned down."
Did you report that or that the 16 denier letter was followed up by a letter written by 39 climatologists that thoroughly put the WSJ 16 letter to shame?
I haven't seen any UBM teasers out on this rebuttal.
What does this say about UBM other than that it severely cripples your publisher's scientific credibility to the point of laughingstock? Except that global warming is a very serious topic and it could really use some credibility in engineering media. Does UBM have an anti-science bias? Sure seems so with respect to climate science. What else is there?
So yes, Mr. Murray, UBM's headlines and general tone comes off as negative toward EVs, and reads like a drumbeat against EVs and against sustainability.

Big Battery EVs
William K.

The sad fact is that pure EVBs are not the solution, although providing an option of different sized battery packs could go a long way towards solving a few of the problems. Why carry a 200 mile range battery pack when one's daily commute is ten miles? A 50 mile battery pack would provide a very good margin and be only a quarter of the weight.
The real solution, for those willing to forgo air conditioning, is in the manually controlled start-stop vehicle. Manually controlled because there is no possible way to have a computer be adequately aware of it's surroundings, and no way can a computer system adequately handle driving conditions, and no way an automated system could be idiot-proof enough to provide good performance. Start-coast-stop control can easily triple the miles per gallon delivered, with no modifications to the engine program, only different starter motor and a means to uncouple the engine while stopped or coasting.
Only a small portion of city driving involves acceleration, with the result that the engine can be off for a large part of the time, which results in the reduced fuel consumption. Of course, this method provides very little improvement in the constant speed, long duration, driving modes. But the advantage is that it is simple to include and does not need any breakthroughs to implement.

There is only one way to get efficient transportation and cut our National trade deficit: tax all foreign fuel.
If gasoline had a pump price of $10/gallon, the extra money could be used to reimburse the automakers for the domestic content (translate as American jobs) that they contribute. And pay their legacy costs of retirement funds for existing retirees and the health insurance of their older workers (which the transplants don't have).
Then, because the cost per mile would be so high for gas guzzlers, no one would buy them. And many more people would buy electric vehicles and PHEV's, since they run on nuclear powered electricity (and hydro and wind and solar - none of which use foreign fuel). And many would use public transportation saving more fuel, and move closer to work saving more fuel and car-pool saving even more and other things that nobody has even thought of yet but will come out of the marketplace when gasoline and diesel are expensive.
Nothing beats the invisible hand theory of Adam Smith - i.e. capitalism creates improved products at the lowest cost.

A "neighborhood electric vehicle" is basically a weatherized golf cart, so it solves the problems you described. There are a bunch of models out there but no single one has garnered a lot of market share.
