If I had to choose my favorite fashion item, something I have way too many of, it would be shoes. Like most women, I really can't get enough. Shoes always fit, they can really make an outfit and well…a pair of pumps has the power to make you look and feel like a supermodel.

Oh, and did I mention their heels come with a bit of added comfort thanks to a memory foam foot bed? |
I'm sure you can only image my delight when I heard that the brand just opened an outlet store in SoHo with selections from their classic collection, Dopie sandal line and VivoBarefoot style at 50-70% off.

John Marshall
John belongs to: Souter Lighthouse
John was born in South Shields. He is the fifth generation of Tyne pilots in his family.
John was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 12 April 2006. The interview took place at Discovery Museum and lasted 28 minutes and 26 seconds.
Growing up in a family of pilots
"I was brought up, it was all around me, with, surrounded by a family who were pilots"
I was brought up, it was all around me, with, surrounded by a family who were pilots and my mother was one of, one of five, she had two brothers, they were both Tyne pilots, and one of her sisters married another pilot, so I couldnt get away from it. And as a kid, I was born and brought up on the Lawe Top and I used to see ships coming out al the time and, you know, I would ask my dad, you know, what ship did you get last night, and I used to go onboard ships with him when was quite small.
I can remember being on one when I was about eight or nine, he would take me on ships, and, usually ships that were in the river, he wouldnt go out onboard form the pilot boat- but ships that were in dry dock on the river, and I was just sort of immersed in it from an early age and when I got to 16, I had the opportunity of becoming a pilot apprentice, so, I thought, well, Ill do the apprenticeship and if its, if I dont like it then I can always leave and do something else, but if I hadnt started the apprenticeship I would never had got into the pilot service.

Too bad "its pretty clear" what Mr. Macaluso stands for: cheering President Obama regardless of impact or effect.
The issue that the 1-year extension addresses isn't permanently torpedoing ACA - it's addressing millions of people that lost insurance due to timing of the law's implementation and failure of the website enrollment processes and even paper-based signups. Something is better than nothing.
It's a "gift" to Obama and his ACA staff to get one more year to work kinks out before again enacting the mandate to provide minimum insurance coverages, trouble-free inline enrollments, keep same insurers, doctors, etc...
ACA is herre to stay - no matter what Dems or Reps do to each other, and no matter what one-sided opinions are expressed.
Mr. Macaluso needs to lift his head from blogs of the far LEFT wing of the Democrat Party, and consider both wings when preaching on topics.
With the slow-motion disaster of Omabacare rolling out and expected to unfold over the next year and beyond, no one could blame the Republicans for following the adage: "Never interfere while your opponent is self-destructing". Politically the Democrats are getting what they deserve, but unfortunately real damage is being done to the American people, our health care system and the US economy. Millions of Americans are being served with insurance cancellation notices as a planned consequence of Obamacare, and it is estimated that tens of millions who are employed by small business will lose their insurance when the Obamacare business mandate kicks in. Despite the promises that a. people could keep their existing health insurance plans, b. health insurance costs would go down and c. the program would not add to the national deficit, the indicators are all in the opposite direction.
The Democrats must have assumed they would forever be in control of the government to pass such a huge program without bipartisan support. Republicans, left completely out of the creation of their big-government program, were justified but unsuccessful in trying to defund and delay the disaster. There are now some Democrats actually calling for delaying the ACA – better late than never. In reaction to the passing of Obamacare the Republicans took control of the House and almost regained the Senate. They could regain all of Congress in 2014.
Support for the ACA is now at an all-time low and a CBS poll shows that 93% of Americans want Obamacare repealed or repaired. Given that public mandate, Obama and the Democrats have no alternative but to cooperate with Republicans to fix the problem they created (if possible). That may mean scrapping the ACA and starting over, keeping some of the features that people like, but moving more towards a free-market rather than a big-government solution; Allowing insurance companies to sell policies in all states, for example. They should do away with the onerous individual and business mandates in favor of economic incentives and find simpler ways to insure those who have had trouble getting health insurance instead of disrupting the entire health care system.
Obama cannot unilaterally 'tweak' the law anymore. (The constitutionality of all of his changes so far notwithstanding). There has already been a bipartisan vote in the House to begin fixing Obamacare, a law that lets people keep their insurance as was promised. It's time for Obama to admit there is a problem and get on with addressing it.
It should be named, " Cover our Backsides until after the Congressional Elections Act!"

Fast cars and beautiful women. Somehow, they seem to go hand in hand, as proven by this weekend's F1 race in Singapore - the first night race ever to be held for Formula 1. TheStarOnline reports that there's been a surge in demand for escorts for this weekend :
Singapore's inaugural Formula One Grand Prix race this weekend has revved up demand for 'social escort' services from high-flying executives, a newspaper reported yesterday.
High-end social escort agencies say business is up by 20% as a result of the F1 race, with one client reportedly paying S$40,000 (US$28,368) for a six-hour booking, The Straits Times said.
The report goes on to make me green with envy :
Singapore Escort Services, which said it was handling the booking, declined to give more details but said it has already closed five deals compared with two or three on a normal weekend, the report said.
"This is the best weekend this year," the agency's owner, Prince Wong, was quoted as saying.
He will pocket more than US$50,000 in escort fees this weekend alone, nearly as much as what he earns in a regular month, the report said.
Ah well, money comes in waves or in this case at about 300++ kmph. Now I know what some of you may me thinking - that there's more to this whole escort service thing but to conclude the report :
According to The Straits Times report, a social escort's main job is to smile and to entertain the client and his friends in small talk.
It said the agencies made clear that sexual services were not part of the deal.
Prostitution is legal in Singapore, but pimping and soliciting in public are not.
Oh all right. Go on and read between the lines... but what goes on in private pit stops is between the escort and the one who forks out 40K. Besides, it's legal in Singapore. But $40K for a 6-hour assignment? And the race only lasts for and hour and a half.
Just goes to show you that there are lots of ways to make money.

Reports of procmail's death are not terribly exaggerated
Posted Nov 28, 2010 16:32 UTC (Sun) by mtaht (✭ supporter ✭, #11087) [Link]
While I liked the clarity and simplicity of the language... and the power of dovecot's imap server... and having stuff in Maildir format...
The idea of piping your now-filtered email through another program is missing from that version of sieve! It's a one stop only filter.
So I lost the ability to do additional processing on the email itself as it came in, for example, when I get email from certain people I used to feed it into a speech synth (instead of "You've GOT Mail", I get "You've got mail from Joe")
If sieve had a "pipe" plugin so I wouldn't have lost this crucial facility of procmail I'd be a much happier camper.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
When Paul Ryan predicts that in tonight's debate his rival will come at him quote.
Like -- cannonball.
The Republican VP nominee acknowledging that vice president Joseph Biden's -- decades of debate experience give him an edge.
This will be congressman Ryan's first debate -- -- on the national stage in fact by the time congressman Ryan was old enough to vote.
Vice President Biden had already been a senator.
Who had run for president.
And amid the fallout from the president's performance last week at the debate there analysts say VP Biden will likely go on the attack right out of the gate.
Joining us another tough sell sodas on food needs of rom a Romney campaign surrogate senator to -- you thank you.
Good evening -- or you don't.
I've gotten great looking forward to hearing specifics tonight -- I think so many Americans are is that what we're gonna get from Paul Ryan tonight.
Well I think what she will get from Paul Ryan is is you're gonna get it clear contrast I think Paul Ryan is will be well prepared he always does his homework he always does the hard work and in getting ready and he's very knowledgeable on on policy matters I I hope this is a debate -- about policy -- -- -- a debate about differences.
I think it will lay out to the American people a very clear choice on November the sixth.
And two very different visions for the future of this country.
But I think you'll be -- will be very spirited debate I hope it is -- the American people tuned in because I think you're gonna see in Paul -- somebody who represents a different direction for the country.
That that's not what we've been tethered to for the last four years which is fewer jobs more spending higher taxes and lower take home pay.
Before the debate last week the pundits were saying well.
Romney had had just have to come out swinging he's behind him when you're behind you you got to take big shots you -- swing for the fences -- baseball parlance.
The opposite would be true tonight it is is it -- -- program for Paul Ryan to lay low.
I don't think so I -- I think will happen any really that Paul Ryan is is gonna mix it up but that's that's his nature and I and he really does he wants this election be about big things show up and so I think you'll see him.
Sort of laying out in -- in policy form the things that he wants his administration.
The Romney administration to be about.
And I don't dialing he'll be overly aggressive but I think he's going to be in their mixing it up and I said I suspect that go.
Vice President Biden for the reasons that you just mentioned is probably gonna come out.
And be very aggressive I mean they need -- to do something to change the narrative that came out of the presidential debate last week and I expect him to to come out trying to that this evening.
We got some mighty good jobless and housing numbers today and conventional wisdom is that I -- them.
The conventional wisdom is that if the news is good there's the sitting candidate the one who is already in office.
Has the edge on those matters how do you attack that.
Well you know I I think what we all hope for good news shall we all hope that the economy starts coming back around that -- people get back to work but if you look at.
Second quarter growth numbers this last year those have been adjusted downward to one point 3%.
You still have fuel prices of more than doubled since the president took office health insurance costs are up 29% college tuition -- point 5% as I said earlier.
Incomes are down.
And so we got serious economic problems in this country that need to be addressed and are being addressed.
And we need to change the direction the country and that's what -- Romney Ryan ticket will do is a different approach.
It's not based upon the expansion of government Washington DC.
It's expanding the private economy were good paying jobs are really created getting Americans back to were getting the economy growing again.
And making it a more prosperous future for.
Our children grandchildren and I think you're gonna see great contrast Americans are gonna have a very clear choice about two different visions for the future of this country I believe that that will come out.
Very clearly in the debate this evening.
One thing I wanted to mention senator -- that the numbers you break them down within the polling.
Suggest that you're doing a lot better with people who are older.
And not quite as well with people who are under that gap at which the Ryan plan that would begin to change the way Medicare looks in the future.
And some Democrats are hammering at the Ryan budget plan saying.
This isn't a good thing for you when he starts to privatize.
So much here in turn Medicare into a voucher system -- -- how do you come back at that.
Well yeah I think that the worst thing you can do if you want to end Medicare as we know what do nothing.
If we stay on the path we're on right now it is gonna take -- over the cliff and we -- headed toward bankrupting the country.
And future generations of Americans and that is unacceptable in what Paul Ryan has laid out is a plan.
A plan that involves.
People who -- younger Americans perhaps having more choices having more options being able to.
Acquire health insurance in the private marketplace or in the fee for service Medicare.
A program that we have today but older Americans not having to make that decision if you're 55 and older you wouldn't be impacted.
But the reality as we have got to change the way we are doing things or this is an unsustainable.
Future for.
Younger Americans and so -- younger Americans are tuned in because I think they have the most at stake.
In in this debate this political debate in this election season and the choice that we make.
Senator John Thune from South Dakota for the Republican side senator great to see thank you.
Great to be with you thanks Jeff.

While Schmoopy's gone, can anyone explain why he hasn't had a girlfriend in years, other than the fact that he's homosexual? I think he explained once but I don't remember seeing it.
I will speak personally. This has nothing to do with Schmoopy, as I do not know if this is true about him. This is simply something about myself and why I have not had a girlfriend or a relationship in a very long time. I will type about myself.
I have an addiction problem. This in my mind is a very difficult thing to deal with when it comes to a relationship.
1) I can hide it but eventually it will come out. This is basically lying to the person you are meeting.
2) I do not want to be changed. The other person cannot change me. I need to seek change.
3) Due to my addiction, I would never want to hide it only to hurt another person when they realize who I really am.
4) My addiction in turn becomes more important than relationships.
When you are an addict as I am, I have realized that I am not the kind of person that deserves a relationship. I will only hurt someone because of it. Due to this, it is better to be with one's self versus seeking another person.
How is that?
Not sad traw. just truth. i care enough about others that I do not want to hurt them anymore because of my baggage. I have done enough damage.
Alone is good.
If there was any doubt this is me, that went out the window.
I didn't come back to boo hoo. I am just the same guy I have always been. A realist and truthful person.
I would like to destroy myself into a cloud bomb of light and failure.
I had an interview this week with a lady that had to be in her mid sixties but had a fantastic face lift. Ida considered doing her.
Last month I was backed up from not masturbating for almost two weeks. I found some nice Asian porn and when I let loose, it landed all over my cat's head.
I've never owned an umbrella, and when I've been a position where someone's expected me to use one, I've fucking hated it.
I'm writing a novel.
Oh, bullshit. If you put all my visits together, I've spent months in NYC and been there through some torrential downpours. I still don't rock an umbrella. It's raining. I get rained on. I'm tall, so I also hate trying to share an umbrella being held by someone else, and if I take the umbrella I hate having to navigate other umbrellas while keeping both of us protected. I want to fire the goddamned thing into traffic.

Shawn is his usual suspicious self about the new person in Juliet's life. Only this time he takes it a step further. He suspects the friend of murder. Elsewhere, he spends quality time with Woody.
morelessRather than party after the successful conclusion of his case, Shawn turns unusually introspective. He re-examines every decision made to determine if he could have changed the outcome.
Lassiter's long wait is finally over, and Marlowe has said "yes" to his proposal and a quick—but mostly tasteful—wedding at a casino resort. But first up is the bachelor party Lassiter didn't want, and how to deal with the crime lord seen at the casino who could end Lassiter's dream.
morelessGus' fun day at the circus with Rachel's son Maximus takes a turn for the serious.
A VIP party thrown by a has-been rock star turns into a murder mystery weekend for Shawn and Gus.

morelessIn the aftermath of the shooting, Shawn vows to catch the shooter and anyone who helped in the heinous plot. He embarks on a campaign of breaking and entering—mostly breaking—with Gus' reluctant assistance to explosive results.

morelessGus may have found his Utopia when he and Shawn hide a witness to a murder no one believes occurred at a commune for "progressive intellectuals."
Juliet's conman father shows up and wants to repair their relationship, but the lure of a perfect swindle may ruin his plans to stay on the straight and narrow.
It's another undercover assignment for Shawn and Gus when SBPD asks them to infiltrate the local mental hospital. They must prove that the billionaire recently found "not guilty by reason of insanity" after he murdered his assistant is just as sane as they are. Well, as sane as Gus at least.
morelessShawn and Gus are asked by Santa Barbara's minor league baseball team's manager to look into the death of its hitting coach. The only way to keep everything under wraps is to go undercover, and Gus may take a hit on his dignity as the team mascot.
morelessThe Mantis, a masked vigilante, competes with SBPD to capture the Camino Syndicate so PSYCH is called in to capture the Mantis. If only they could see further into the future than he apparently does.
morelessShawn and Gus help SBPD investigate an exsanguinated body and, as luck would have it, Lassiter's mysterious new lady friend.
A night of partying which no one remembers that turned deadly sets Shawn, Gus, Woody and Lassiter on the trail of their deeds and a way to clear their names of suspected murder. Unfortunately, they may have to depend on Shawn's "psychic" memories of the night's events.

Sorry if updates are a little sparse this week. The Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech is hosting JCamp this week, training over 100 high school journalists from, I believe three states.
So, our newsroom is a little busy, but I have a couple updates for you to take a look at.
- First up: As this News Leader article reports, the Carilion Virginia Tech Medical school has been approved as a postsecondary institution by the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia. This gives the school the ability to start seeking outside funding such as tuition assistance grants.
- Next up, families of April 16 victims are taking a stand on a piece of legislation in Congress. The bill, the Thune Concealed Carry Amendment, would allow concealed carry permits to transfer into Virginia from states with different requirements for the permit. According to a press release, they will run a full page ad in the Richmond Times-Dispatch asking Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner to vote against the amendment. Over 25 families are listed on the letter.
Update: Here is a link to the full-page ad being run in the Richmond-Times Dispatch. – PsM
I'll try and keep the updates coming. Zc

EDMONTON - As a kid, Bobbi Jo Hart was a sucker for sports. Soccer was her first love, but the Montreal filmmaker played basketball and did track and field. Sports provided life lessons on teamwork, winning and losing, determination, failure.
"Growing up, you have to fight for yourself, you have to fight to achieve your dreams," she says.
That passion, that fight, is the reason Hart is making a documentary about the Canadian national women's soccer team, who stole this country's heart in 2012 after their bronze medal win at the London Olympics.
"Who doesn't love underdogs?" Hart says of the team, who during the Olympic Games had a gut-wrenching loss to archrival U.S. before a surprise win against France for the bronze medal. Watching those games alongside thousands of Canadians, Hart says she "sensed this revolution bubbling under the surface with this team, the way they're inspiring girls, and Canada also."
Her new doc, in development with TSN, is in the early stages of production and tentatively titled Rise. That's the word the players would yell at one another as motivation during the Olympics. "It was their code to say, 'Get back in your zone'!" Hart explains.
Hart is busily gathering footage of the team on and off the pitch, including in Edmonton on Wednesday, Oct. 30, as the team plays a friendly match against South Korea at Commonwealth Stadium.
"These are games that help them keep their competitive edge, raise their profile and build momentum around the World Cup," Hart explains. Canada will host the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in several cities, including Edmonton.
This isn't Hart's first soccer documentary. Ten years ago, she was assistant director for It's A Great Game, a film her husband and fellow filmmaker Robbie Hart made about the Canadian national women's soccer team in the lead-up to the 2002 World Cup.
"After I watched that game in the (2012) Olympics and I saw what was going on, this energy and how they were mobilizing the country, I felt there was another chapter that had to be made," says Bobbi Jo Hart.
For the past year, she's been following the players everywhere — ice baths at hotels, soccer fields in Toronto, Cyprus, Vancouver — and chronicling their lives as athletes and young women. Hart was with Carmelina Moscato after wrist surgery, stuck at home in Canada and Skyping with the team in China. She was there with Brittany Timko when she got married this past summer, then "snuck away from the wedding to play soccer." She was there with Erin McLeod for the opening of her first art show, Limitless, in Toronto.
She has watched the players struggle for their love of the game. "They're not making a lot of money. They're doing it for pure passion. There's a purity to this sport. They're doing it because of every little girl or boy who comes up to them and says 'I wanna be just like you.' There's something magical about that."
Hart is also tracking the team's English coach, John Herdman, "one of the most incredibly motivating and inspirational human beings I have ever met — I am not kidding. And he's got a vision for the team. He really wants to change the face of soccer in Canada forever."
The plan is to produce the film on a budget of $400,000 to $500,000 and release it on television and in theatres in 2015 or 2016, Hart says, depending on whether she includes footage from the World Cup.
Hart grew up in the United States and spent five years living in Edmonton before settling in Montreal, where she has lived for 16 years. She and Robbie run Adobe Productions International, and have a daughter, Phoenix, who is eight.
It wasn't always Hart's intention to make movies. She had visions of joining the Peace Corps. But while living in Edmonton, she got talking to a filmmaker and "it clicked in that moment. I could take my background in international relations and my love of communications and turn that into documentary filmmaking." In 1996, she got her break: a deal with CBC to make A Call to Care, a documentary about a Calgary nurse teaching her trade in Pakistan.
Hart is the director of four other films, including I Am Not A Rock Star, a documentary that tracks gifted young pianist Marika Bournaki's development as a classical musician. The award-winning bio-doc is a tool Hart and Bournaki are using to engage communities to empower kids, especially young girls. She wants this new soccer film to be a catalyst for discussion too.
"Every film I do, it's about finding the universal human threads that connect us to each person. Love, family, dreams, determination, loss, happiness, sadness. If you find those universal threads in a film, you don't have to know much about what the people are doing. You don't have to know much about soccer or classical music."
Canada's Women's National Team plays the Korea Republic Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. at Commonwealth Stadium.

The Agnolotti. It is #57 on 7x7 Magazine's 2010 list of 100 Things To Try Before You Die.
Under Michael Tusk's direction, the Quince kitchen uses only superior products by working with an established network of Northern California purveyors, small farmers to cultivate organic produce and meats, fish mongers to source out flawless fish, and local cheese makers to produce farmhouse cheeses. These ingredients provide the ultimate source of inspiration for the restaurant's daily changing menu. View current menus here.

Probably, almost certainly, no two people in India have sampled the range of cuisine that Rocky Singh and Mayur Sharma have devoured in the past five years as hosts of Highway on My Plate, the NDTV Good Times show that is part travelogue, part bromance, part-standup routine — and all about the galaxy of food available on the roads of India, from Meghalaya to Kerala.
By their estimation: 80,000 kilometers over five years, over 500 restaurants and eateries, an average of five dishes per visit, so 2,500 different recipes with fewer than 20 repeats.
The NDTV travel show that features the likable duo of Rocky Singh and Mayur Sharma road-tripping around the nation and sampling its food has long been a hit with armchair travelers.
But for folks who like to travel by road themselves, Messrs. Singh and Sharma have turned their food experiences into a handy guide divided up by state, with a map in each section that shows the highways on which the food shacks (or dhabas, diners or cafes, depending on your preference) can be found.
Our only quibble – we'd dispense with the big city and offer more options for highways and in small towns on those highways. As Delhi residents, we didn't find that section or the one on Mumbai particularly enlightening, with suggestions like Karim's and Britannia and Company.

Small, clean room. Old bathroom. We only stayed overnight as were visiting Stuttgart to go to the Porsche museum. If we were in town for longer I would stay somewhere closer to Stuttgart station.

PROVO - Goals by Jessica Ringwood and Marissa Nimmer led the BYU women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Utah State in the opening round of the NCAA tournament Saturday afternoon on South Field.
"It was a huge win for us in our first NCAA tournament game this year," said BYU coach Jennifer Rockwood. "We drew a really tough opening round against Utah State and we knew that it was going to be a battle once we found out we were going to play them. We were able to bounce back from their early goal in the second half and do what we needed to do to hold on and get the win."
BYU got on the board first with a goal from senior Jessica Ringwood off an assist by sophomore Jaiden Thornock with 15 minutes left in the first half. Thornock pushed the ball down the right sideline before crossing the ball to the middle where Ringwood knocked it home.
The goal was Ringwood's team-leading ninth of the year and Thornock's sixth assist on the season.
The Cougars got on the board again just 10 minutes later when Marissa Nimmer scored on an assist from Kayla Varner. Ringwood pushed the ball upfield, passed it into Varner who one-touched the it towards Nimmer who was then able get the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.
The goal was Nimmer's fourth of the season and the assist was Varner's second.
BYU's offense created numerous scoring chances early in the game, placing many shots just wide of the frame and tallying 10 shots in the half. The BYU defense did its part by holding strong in the first period and limiting the Aggies to just five shots with Ashley Bazzarone and Lindsi Lisbonee Cutshall pushing back all the Utah State scoring chances.
A minute into the second half, Utah State was awarded a free kick close to midfield. The Aggies sent it in and put a shot on goal. BYU goalkeeper Erica Owens deflected the ball but the ball didn't clear the box. From a group of players around the ball, Jackie Tillotson found the back of the net to bring the score to 2-1.
With 15 minutes left in the second half, the Cougars began to push the momentum by keeping the ball on their offensive end and earning a couple of free kicks close to the box. The Aggies responded by making a run of their own, turning the tempo their way.
Utah State sent a shot on goal from just outside the box and Owens made a spectacular save, pushing the ball over the crossbar to thwart the attack.
After allowing the early goal in the second half, the Cougar defense held strong while allowing Utah State only four more shots in the last 45 minutes. The offense created many scoring chances and registered nine more shots in the half, led by Ringwood's three.
This is the first time this season that the Aggies have allowed more than one goal in a match this season.
"I couldn't be more proud of this team. We kept going after them and forced them to do things that they weren't comfortable doing, and that was our goal. We had our chances and were the better team at times. It is hard for the season to be over, but I am so proud. They played so incredibly well," USU coach Heather Cairns said.
With the win, BYU will host the second and third rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars will host Auburn on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m.
Thursday's earlier game will be played at 3 p.m. with Marquette playing against the winner of West Virginia and Princeton. Winners of Thursday's games will play Saturday, Nov. 17 with the time still to be determined.

I was considering the valuable and seemingly well-thought-out advice that Vice President Joe Biden provided last week regarding personal protection ("Biden pushes for new laws," New York Times article, Friday Dispatch).
First, get a double-barreled shotgun. For readers who aren't familiar with shotguns, this type obviously has two barrels, each holding one cartridge of ammunition, providing a total of two shots.
Next, go onto an outside deck and fire "a couple" of shots up into the air. Problem solved!
That is, unless the potentially dangerous intruders now realize that one is nothing more than an idiot standing on his deck in his pajamas with an empty and useless firearm.

Taking "Green" Seriously
Rather than dwelling on muddy green statistics, PSPs' marketing focus should be on what print is, not on what it is not. Tout the features and benefits of what print can do—and does, quite well.
When it comes to so-called "green printing," a subject near and dear to his heart, "perception is not reality," asserted Don Carli, senior research fellow at the Institute for Sustainable Communication (ISC) in New York, who has tracked print-related green advancements for more than a decade. After all, the print and paper industries are not what tree-hugging conservationists would have us believe (think dark, dirty visions of desecrated virgin forests and overfilling landfills). But here's a marketing tip for wide-format shops: Save your breath. That was the conclusion of some highly animated dialog at a pre-drupa PrintCity Alliance event near Munich in February.
Explaining how paper is a crop that is farmed and highly sustainable falls on so many deaf ears. For those who might be listening, arguments against anti-environmental accusations sound so defensive. It reminds me of a wise Chicago football coach who advised his young, emotive high-school quarterback (me) that the only time you can objectively complain about poor officiating is when you win the game. "If you've lost, no one will listen to your 'sour grapes,'" Mike Hughes explained.
An interesting question, though: What's the use of our highly fragmented printing industry trying to fight the powerful tech/IT lobby in Washington? It's not like we can match dollar for dollar the deep-pocket combination of the Big 8: Amazon, Apple, Dell, Facebook, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Yahoo! (Apple Inc. alone spent $1.3 million on lobbying efforts earlier this year, according to First Street. Last spring, it opened a $1 billion, 500,000-square-foot iData Center in rural North Carolina and is planning another in central Oregon, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting.)
Incidentally, IBM ranked #1 and Dell came in at #5 among US firms in Newsweek's annual Green Rankings last fall. Weyerhaeuser cracked the top 200 (#165), categorized under "real estate" (not paper), while "materials" companies Domtar, International Paper, and MeadWestvaco were #331, #333, and #416, respectively. RR Donnelley, the only printing firm represented on the list of 500, placed at #299. Much higher up, HP (#2), Adobe (#14), and Xerox (#46) help to bridge the tech-print gap somewhat. Rather than dwelling on muddy green statistics, however, our marketing focus should be on what print is, not on what it is not, recommended the PrintCity dinner crowd. Tout the features and benefits of what print can do—and does, quite well.
Much More Than Product Innovation
So, what is new in environmentally sustainable, wide-format printing? For one, pressure is mounting to eliminate polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic from packaging and, now, billboards, noted Carli. 3M's Commercial Graphics division, for example, is one of several large-format suppliers now offering non-PVC film options. We are beginning to see substrate developments such as woven and bio-based materials that extend far beyond FSC paper certifications and recycling initiatives now commonplace among US print firms, Carli added.
He also points to a new company called Novus Imaging. Founded by two former EFI heads, Mike Mills (engineering) and Kevin Sykes (sales), Novus has developed the Synergia H, a 3.2-meter hybrid printer that produces true grayscale at speeds up to 1,000 square feet per hour. Its technology is based on binary epoxy ink (AquEpoxy), explained Carli, who first saw the equipment demonstrated at the SGIA show in New Orleans last October.
"It's water-based, so the photo initiators cure without UV," he said. "They just need a little IR [infrared] kick. Getting rid of energy and solvent issues is a pretty big deal," he added. (MyPrintResource.com agreed, proclaiming Novus Imaging as one of our Top Three Things of Interest at SGIA) But innovative products like the Synergia H UV-alternative printer are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg, according to Carli, who also has guest lectured in the M.A. program in Graphic Communications Management and Technology at NYU-SCPS. Print/media buyers are the key to increasing the demand for greener print, he contends.

Tom Torluemke at the Hyde Park Art Center | Art review
Torluemke's HPAC installation refers to WPA murals.
Tom Torluemke's installation refers directly to the style and symbolism of Depression-era Works Progress Administration murals: those panoramas of urban and rural American landscapes that show hard-working people tilling the land, forging steel and generally furthering civilization. (They still adorn public buildings across the U.S.: There's a great example in the post office at Irving Park Road and Southport Avenue.)
Even if we no longer share the beliefs espoused by the WPA murals, their bright optimism still offers an emotional connection. Despite Torluemke's technical skill, "Fearsome Fable—Tolerable Truth" feels banal in comparison.
The Indiana-based artist covers all four walls of an HPAC gallery in double-sided panels, more than 6' high. One side depicts brightly painted forests, ocean, mountains, farmland and an American city populated by stylized figures going happily about their daily lives. When visitors rotate the paintings, they show the same landscapes devoid of life and vegetation, and choking in garbage.
The murals' 1930s-style utopianism is further contradicted by the plywood sculptures occupying the floor and hanging from the ceiling: human figures and animals contorted in pain, or limp and dead, all painted black as if they have been incinerated or suffocated by an oil spill.
Torluemke sets up a contrast between the idea of progress and the threat of environmental destruction, but it's difficult to see why the artist chose to parody the WPA style to make this obvious point.

Jan. 9, 2013
Mayor Greg Stanton, Councilman Daniel Valenzuela and Olympic Gold Medalist Misty Hyman on Wednesday kicked off FitPHX, a new city health initiative to get Phoenix in shape.
FitPHX will better connect Phoenix communities to existing city health-related programs and services by encouraging participation in physical-fitness events and other activities that promote wellness.
"FitPHX is an opportunity to get out, get fit and be healthy," said Stanton, who through exercise and better nutrition lost 50 pounds in 2009. "It doesn't have to be difficult to get in shape and we're here to make it easy so Phoenix can be one of the healthiest cities in the nation."
Generally, the Phoenix metropolitan statistical area tends to rank mid-pack in surveys of the healthiest major U.S. cities. In 2012, the American Fitness Index ranked the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale area 26th out of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the country for health and community fitness status.
The study indicated that the Phoenix metro area excels in:
Lower death rate for cardiovascular disease
- Lower death rate for diabetes
- Higher percentage of city land area as parkland
- More acres of parkland per capita
The study also noted areas in need of improvement:
Phoenix is in need of more recreational facilities such as parks, pools, tennis courts and playgrounds.
- The population of the greater Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale area has a higher rate of asthma and angina or coronary heart disease than other large U.S. cities and has a lower number of primary health-care providers per 100,000 of population.
- Finally, the report notes a lower level of state requirements for school physical education.
"I am a strong proponent of becoming more active to benefit your body, mind and spirit," Valenzuela said. "FitPHX will help you take that first step and all the steps that will add up to a healthier lifestyle. Prevention really is the best medicine."
The FitPHX campaign, approved by the city council Tuesday, will seek to increase Phoenix's rankings in the American Fitness Index by better connecting the community to city health-related programs and services and by encouraging participation in physical-fitness events, nutrition classes and other activities that promote personal wellness.
FitPHX will focus on personal health indicator priority improvement areas identified by the index, including:
- Obesity
- Nutrition education
- Angina or coronary heart disease
- Asthma
- Using public transportation to work
- Bicycling or walking to work
As the FitPHX program develops, components will also include a marketing and public information effort including social media outlets as well as community events and partnerships. In addition, a FitPHX website will be developed and launched on phoenix.gov. Updates, new programs and phases of FitPHX will be announced as they become available.
"The new year is a great time to get healthy and stay healthy," Hyman said. "You can do small things each day that can make a big difference. This program will be a great resource for Phoenicians who want to create a healthier lifestyle."
More information is available on the FitPHX website.
