Designer Spotlight Q&A with Gwen O'Brien
Tell us a little about yourself.
I just became President of AIGA West Michigan in May of this year, and I've been on the board for the past 5 years. I was also one of the founding members of our chapter, so I'm very excited to have the opportunity to serve the community in this way. My partner Dottie Rhodes and I own Plenty, a studio in Grand Rapids, and we'll be celebrating our 10-year anniversary this summer.
What kinds of design do you and your firm do?
At Plenty, we are a graphic design studio that specializes in branding and interactive design, as well as advertising.
Describe your path to becoming a designer.
My mom, Jeanette O'Brien, owned an interior design firm my entire life, so I was constantly exposed to design. I used to work at her downtown office after school as a receptionist but also filed swatches and ordered paint samples. I loved being around her designers—they were always thoughtful in the way they worked, and I was inspired to watch them create.
At the prompting of my high school art teacher, I entered a contest at Kendall College of Art & Design, and to my surprise, I was one of the winners. The winning piece was a typography sketch that I included in my entry. I was surprised because I thought my other drawings were much stronger. That was my first exposure to graphic design. The winning piece was something that I just enjoyed doing, I don't think it was even a class assignment.
How did your mother influence your career interests? What are you doing to continue that legacy?
My mom was a huge influence. Not only because I worked at her studio, but she always encouraged me to express myself through drawing and sketching. I began my career at Kendall thinking that I would go into Interior Design, soon realizing that interior design wasn't my passion. I moved to San Francisco for awhile to recalibrate, so to speak, and came back to Kendall two years later to finish with a degree in Visual Communications.
Dottie and I created a scholarship in my mother's name that is given out to a deserving Interior Design student at Kendall each year. I also hope to continue her legacy through growing the design community in West Michigan—keeping it a strong and vital part of the area.
What do you wish people outside of West Michigan knew about this area? (creativity or heritage or natural resources, etc.)
I wish more people knew about our rich design history. I grew up with it, so it's in my bones, but it does seem like a new concept to some people, especially those from outside the area. I am also honored to be on a committee that is looking to establish the first Design Archives in this area, which will be a testament to our design heritage.
How does living in West Michigan impact your creativity and the work you do?
West Michigan has an extremely strong work ethic that has rubbed off on me. I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty! Also, this area really encourages and supports people striking out on their own and doing their own thing. I think that is very unique.
What is the number one thing you would tell new designers?
Do what you love and what makes you come alive. Life is too short not to.
How do you stay inspired? Any favorite sources?
AIGA keeps me inspired. It's great to invite speakers from around the country here, but it's an unexpected pleasure to meet so many young and established designers and come together in support of our community.
What is exciting to you about the way your field is evolving?
It's an interesting question because I feel that Design, with a big D, is gaining momentum, but design, as a practice, seems to be becoming less relevant in some ways. There is so much template-based design and crowd-sourced design that now it's not so much about the technique as it is the idea.
What is one of your favorite projects?
Earlier this year, we launched More = Less, a campaign for the Sierra Club of Michigan to level the playing fields between big factory farms and family-owned farms in Michigan. I'm a huge animal advocate, and one of my personal goals is to put an end to factory farming in my lifetime. (At AIGA West Michigan events, we try to go vegetarian often and local as much as possible. It's part of who we are as an organization now. I appreciate that about our community—we get it.)
What kinds of things can designers/design do to change the world?
Designers offer a unique way of looking at the world. We are always asking questions to better understand the problem, and we are not afraid of generating ideas and prototypes, and possibly failing. I think designers are more likely to keep trying to find the a solution, which is something the world—the planet, its people, and animals—need desperately right now.
What kind of legacy do you hope to leave?
As AIGA West Michigan president, I hope to establish our organization at the center of what's happening in design in the area. I intend to do that with a few initiatives: opening a physical space downtown, creating an advisory board, and selecting our first fellow in 2014. Next year marks the 100-year anniversary for AIGA, so it will be the perfect opportunity for us to begin this tradition. I also want to leave my board with a clear structure and guidelines for years to come.
How has being involved with AIGA affected your design "life"?
Before AIGA, the design community in West Michigan was very segregated. The Ad Club, now AAF, was the only group in town, but it wasn't design-focused. I heard people's names, but never got to know them. AIGA West Michigan has really broken down a lot of barriers, personally and professionally. I think we've really fostered the idea of collaboration versus competition.
What's the most exciting AIGA event you've been part of, and why?
Louise Fili, 2008. I was Programming Director, and she was the first speaker we brought to town. I was so nervous. I picked her up at the airport and drove her to her hotel. I was so excited that I even walked her up to her hotel elevator and gave her a hug—she must have thought I was going to go up to her hotel room with her! Not only was she gracious, she gave a fabulous lecture that inspired everyone in the audience.
What's your favorite way to enjoy time away from work?
It's tough because I spend so much time working for Plenty, and when I am not working there, I'm working on AIGA. I do find time to practice yoga, walk my dog Lulu, and spend time with my family. Balance is important.
Any mantras or sayings you live by?
I'm not shy to say that I'm a big Oprah fan. Recently, she spoke at the 2013 Harvard Commencement. She quoted Howard Thurman, : "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Right now, that fits.

As the rtc bug is solved, I can finally go back to what I'm supposed to do. As a proof of concept, I've prepared one last "plain" FreeBSD LiveCD with integrated X11 and Xfce environment, with SMP kernel, without WITNESS & INVARIANTS & without debug symbols – in other words, a fully functional system that will not be much different from when 7.0 goes into RELEASE status.
The ISO image (which is no longer available for download) contains all of FreeBSD "base" system, a recent kernel (which includes fixes to the ZFS), and a basic X11 system with Xfce 4.2 desktop environment (you can run it as root by starting "startx"). The installer is not yet integrated into the image so ignore the startup message about the "install" user, etc.
This LiveCD is mostly usable to people that need a "rescue" CD or those which need to experiment with certain aspects of 7.0 like hardware compatibility. It's not a general-purpose "desktop" LiveCD and it has at least one critical bug, a panic in unionfs which occurs very frequently.

Hi All,
I'm about to order a used Steel from Billy Cooper's Steel Guitar Shop and would like some feed back good or Bad before I send down $3000.
Thanks, Ron.

I got my used Derby from Cooper's about two years ago. Billy takes these steels into his shop and goes over them completely, so what you get is as close to new as possible. Also, Billy and Wanda are always there to answer any questions. Also, I got the best price in the business on the Nashville 112 I bought there last year. I have no reason to deal with anyone else.

Ron, I don't know if religion is a part of your life but it's very much a part of Billy & Wanda's life. They're fine upstanding people and I wouldn't hesitate to send any amount of money to them in a deal. I've never heard anyone say anything but good about Billy Cooper's Steel Shop & Store......JH in Va.

I have done business with Billy and Wanda for years and it has been a tremendous joy. I love to just go down and visit; but I always buy something, don't like to go home empty-handed. I believe that Buddy Emmons had Billy pick out a PP, Emmons and set it up for him that he used for some time and it is a fantastic guitar. I bought just about all my Buddy Emmons CDs from them, also a GFI S-10 among other merchandise. It's one place that I really feel at home.

Hey Ron, since I live only an hour and a half from Billy's shop, I go there often. I have purchased four pedal steels from Billy since 1994 (still have three of them) plus amps and other equipment. Billy and Wanda are absolutely the best.

When you buy a steel, it's like buying a car, you need to try it out, blaming a car dealer for a car that you may not like is often heard, or if things are not quite right, so i think the shop should be kept neutral in your choice and really, i think you should have a weekend away, and test drive it; Us musicians are very paticular in feel, tone, looks, colour,fretboard veiw, and every other little detail, a great steel is a great steel, but if you dont like it , its not a great deal, one mans meat is another mans poison, and thats just the way it is.

Summary of Smallville Seasons 1-10 DVD Box Set
Smallville tells about the numerous miraculous rescues by the local wonder boy Clark have aroused suspicions amongst colonials of Smallville. Interestingly, the boy has managed to downplay his acts of various heroic egresses in the past. They say he's either too fast or has a penchant for finding trouble. He was found by Martha and Jonathan Kent on the day of the Meteor Shower, and subsequently adopted. Clark's friend Lex Luthor, the only heir of Luthorcorp, has been secretly investigating grounds for Clark's outlandish valor. However, on the face of it, Clark just seems a normal boy who's slightly more secretive than usual.

The New Hampshire Police Association Pipes & Drums was formed following the tragic death of New Hampshire State Police Sgt. James Noyes. Sgt. Noyes was shot and killed in October 1994, during a stand off with an armed barricaded subject. After the Boston Police Gaelic Column played at the funeral, a search was initiated for potential players to start a New Hampshire Police Pipe Band. In December 1994 several dedicated individuals from various police departments got together for their first practice at Memorial High School in Manchester
After 2 years of dedicated practice, the band made its official debut in 1996, playing at the New Hampshire Police Memorial in Concord. Since 1996 the band has continued to grow and now has over 25 playing members form over a dozen law enforcement agencies within the state of NH.
The band performs at dozens of events annually throughout the state and New England.

Montalcino, Siena, Italy
"One of my favorite under the radar estates in Montalcino."
- Antonio Galloni, Sept 2013
The estate vineyard at Piancornello was bought by the Pieri Family in 1950. The fruit was sold to other Montalcino producers until they began making their own wine starting with the 1990 vintage. Silvana Pieri has since passed down the estate to her son Claudio (who has been and continues to be the winemaker) and his wife, Silvia.
Piancornello takes its name from the hamlet just South of Montalcino where the winery is located. Because of the warm climate and unique, rocky/mineral-rich soils, this is considered one of the finest areas of Brunello. The vineyards are located on moderately sloped hills with southern exposures. The clones at Piancornello were chosen carefully in order to have low yields and looser bunches. Additionally, a modern, temperature & humidity-controlled winemaking facility has been built in front of the old cellar, allowing for an even greater attention to detail and quality in winemaking.
Though the estate has been farming organically for many years, it has recently made plans to become certified. Beginning with the 2013 vintage, the estate in Montecucco (Podere del Visciolo) will be Certified Organic, while the main estate plans to finalize its organic certification with the 2015 vintage.
*Recipient of the 2014 VINO SLOW Award*
Piancornello was recognized for their passion, commitment to the land, method of cultivation, and cellar techniques — this award from Slow Food International favors producers who implement ecologically sustainable winegrowing and winemaking practices.

Dr. Paul Wender, Bergstrom Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University, will speak on
"Some Global Problems in Chemistry, Biology, and Medicine"
Friday, November 13, 2009, 4 - 5 pm
Alumni Science 120
My group is interested in addressing unexplored or unsolved molecular problems in chemistry, biology, and medicine. These studies range from designing and developing new reactions and catalysts to complex molecule synthesis with an emphasis on the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of molecules of structural, biological, and medicinal significance. An emphasis is placed on new synthetic reactions, molecules that exhibit unique modes of action, new tools for real time cellular and animal imaging, novel drug delivery strategies and molecular transporters. This lecture will provide an overview of some of these programs including synthetic and biological studies on prostratin, now in pre-clinical development for targeting the HIV/AIDS latent virus; synthetic and biological studies on bryostatin, currently in phase I and II trials for cancer and a pre-clinical lead for treating cognitive dysfunction including Alzheimer's disease; and synthetic and biological studies on molecular transporters and their use in drug delivery and overcoming resistant cancer.
Dr. Wender will be in Daly Science 103 from 3:15 - 3:50 pm to meet with students

Wednesday, November 11, 2009
5:00 - 6:00 pm
Kennedy Commons
Dr. Boyd explores abstinence-focused sponsorship in Uganda, analyzing how powerful born-again churches in the capital, Kampala, promote sexual abstinence and the "Christian family" as solutions to the AIDS epidemic. At public rallies "immoral" behavior is condemned, condom use is ridiculed, and young adults testify about the heartache of growing up in "broken" homes. Dr. Boyd discusses how these campaigns have been at cross-purposes with earlier more pragmatic and culturally conscious Ugandan AIDS programs that had already proven successful.
Alrie Middlebrook, author of Designing California Native Gardens and owner of Middlebrook Gardens will be speaking on "Sustainable Design: The Originist Landscape Movement."

Join Felix F. Gutierrez for the bicentennial of Latino newspapers in the United States with a preview film schreening, exhibit and presentation that "show how newspapaers advocated independence and freedom across the hemisphere, spoke against Yanqui violence after the U.S. took the Southwest from Mexico, helped newcomers become Americanos, encouraged young Latinos to advance themselves in the 1930s and 40s, were advocates for Chicano and other liberation movements of the 1960s and 70s, and are a growing force in the U.S. as other media declare bankruptcy."
Claudia Nunez, a reporter for La Opinion newspaper in Los Angeles, documented the struggles of Oaxacan villagers who were lured to San Jose and Los Angeles by false promises of well-paying jobs, then ended up as virtual slaves in small restaurants and taquerias. Her reports on human trafficking challenged the Latino community to acknowledge exploitation from within.

Many Iraqis fleeing the war and violence in Iraq have found refuge in Jordan. Entrapped and invisible for fear of deportation, a large majority of an estimated 1.4 million refugees and asylum seekers reside in Amman where they live economically and socially marginalized. They represent some of the psychological "collateral damage" of the Iraq war, victims of US and international community's oblivion.

Dr. Marcin Majda, from Bioanalytical Chemistry and Electrochemistry at UC Berkeley, will speak on "Antibody-Antigen Exchange Equilibria in a Field of an External Force: Design of Reagentless Biosensors"
Friday, October 16, 2009, 4 - 5 pm
This seminar concerns a new strategy for detecting biological moledules that relies on competitive exchange interactions of an analyte with two-component molecular tethers attaching superparamagnetic microspheres (4 microns in diameter) to a sensor surface. The individual tethers consist of an antibody-antigen complex and are designed to selectively detect antigenic proteins in a sensitive reagentless fashion. In order to impart a driving force to the otherwise free energy neutral antibody antigen exchange equilibrium, a small mechanical force of ca. 10 pN was applied to stretch the antibody-antigen tethers using a massively parallel magnetic tweezers device. The experimental work was carried out with human cardiac troponin I. This serum heart attack marker was used as an example of analytes of a credible relevance to biomedical diagnostics. The initial results illustrate the functioning of a cardiotroponin sensor and offer a preliminary estimate of its sensitivity of 16 pM.
Dr. Majda will be in Daly Science 103 from 3:15 - 3:50 pm to meet with students

Dr. Ron Zuckermann speaking on "Bioinspired Polymers as Nanoscale Building Materials"
Friday, October 9, 2009, 4:00 - 5:00 pm
Peptoids are a novel class of non-natural biopolymer based on an N-substituted glycine backbone that are ideally suited for nanomaterials research. This bioinspired material has many unique properties that bridge the gap between proteins and bulk polymers. Like proteins, they are a sequence-specific heteroploymer, capable of folding into specific shapes and exhibiting potent biological activities; and like bulk polymers they are chemically and biologically stable and relatively cheap to make. Peptoids are efficiently assembled via automated solid-phase synthesis from hundreds of chemically diverse building blocks allowing the rapid generation of huge combinatorial libraries. This provides an ideal platform to discover nanostructured materials capable of protein-like structure and function.
Dr. Zuckermann will be in the DS 103 from 3:15-3:50 pm to meet with students.
Please join the Political Science department on Friday, October 9, 2009 at 3:30 to 5:00 pm in Lucas Hall, Room 126. Refreshments will be provided

I used to wear a Harley-Davidson T-shirt with the words "scooter trash" on the back.
This was well before Harley-Davidson motorcycles were the much-admired, middle-class conveyances that they are today. Back then, riding a Harley said something about you, and it wasn't that you were vice president of your local Jaycees chapter.
As I sometimes note, today's Harley riders are commonly spotted in fancy restaurants dining on crabs, whereas back then, many Harley riders had ... well, you get the idea. ...

Who to meet at the Service Desk & IT Support Show – part 1
With the Service Desk & IT Support Show (SDITS11) less than four weeks away, we begin our preview of what is shaping up to be the most important industry event for many years.
The service management industry, after many years of stagnation, finds itself in a situation of forced introspection, with the calls to deliver IT which helps the business meet the challenges presented by the slow growing economy becoming ever louder. The pressure to find technologies and services which meet this challenge is therefore heightened, and with more than 80 exhibitors, SDITS11 is the best way to see first hand a large number of products in a short space of time.
Over the next few weeks, we will be previewing some of the latest products that will be shown, many for the first time, at the Show. To help you narrow down your search to the products important to you, we have categorised the articles:
– Training and qualifications
– Asset/infrastructure management
– Service management suites
– Remote/mobile support
– Cloud
Training and Qualifications
– The latest range of ITSM qualifications are available from APMG-International covering areas including; Service Catalogue that compliments the ITIL V3 scheme, CMDB covering service asset and configuration management, Change Analyst that concentrates on changes within ITIL service delivery, and ISO 20000 accreditation.
– Training and consultancy provider FGI is offering a series of ITIL seminars, providing guidance and exploring topics including "How to do more with less", and "Effective ITSM". Sessions take place at venues across the UK, with further information and details of bespoke onsite seminars available at stand 534.
– Kepner-Tregoe is bringing an experimental approach to problem solving at stand 204, with participants able to demonstrate troubleshooting skills in a workshop titled "Fixing the doughnut machine", and a simulation addressing data processing named "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

It seems Lindsay Lohan is in big trouble with the law again as the actress will reportedly be charged with lying to the police over her car accident.
The Freaky Friday star told police that she wasn't driving her Porsche when it crashed into a lorry in California.
However, according the TMZ, multiple witnesses have come forward stating Lindsay was behind the wheel.
And it's been claimed that the actress could face a lengthy jail sentence if the case is filed because she's already on probation for stealing a necklace.
But Lindsay didn't seem too worried when she stepped out in New York last night.
Wearing a huge furry gilet, the actress was showing off her new red haircut under a large cosy hat.

3-D printing specialist ExOne hopes to raise $75M in stock offering
ExOne Co., a North Huntingdon-based company engaged in a cutting-edge manufacturing technique called "3-D printing," filed documents to go public and raise an estimated $75 million in a stock offering.
The company makes the machines and related products for what's technically known as "additive manufacturing." It also has operations in Michigan, Texas, Germany and Japan, according to a securities filing.
Additive manufacturing is a technology that deposits thin layers of a material atop one another using a digital blueprint, producing an exacting component or product. The process uses significantly less energy than what's expended in conventional manufacturing.
ExOne began in 2003 as part of Extrude Hone Corp., now part of Kennametal Inc., and was acquired by industrialist S. Kent Rockwell, who is chairman and CEO.
The filing said ExOne would use the proceeds of the stock offering to upgrade its machines and expand the number of raw materials it uses to make products, as well as add locations and repay debt.
ExOne currently employs 126 full-time at five locations in the United States and abroad.
The company serves customers in the aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment and power fluid-handling industries, including Fortune 500 names such as Boeing and Caterpillar, which are located in North and South America, Europe and Asia, according to the filing.
The company had revenue of $15.3 million in 2011 and recorded a loss of $8.1 million. It lost about $5.6 million on revenue of $13.4 million in 2010. Both years included heavy operating expenses, including spending for research and development.
ExOne has invested $8 million in the last six years, including more than $1.5 million in 2011 and nearly $1.2 million in 2010.
The initial public offering is being underwritten by FBR Capital Markets & Co.

Congratulations to our own Dr. Serazio, the new Deputy Director of the Open Visions Forum
Michael Serazio, Ph.D., assistant professor of communication at Fairfield University, has been appointed deputy director of Open VISIONS Forum, Fairfield's signature lecture series that annually features eminent opinion-makers, artists, authors, learned contributors to the humanities and sciences, and civic and political commentators. In this new role, Dr. Serazio will be assisting with main stage events of Fairfield University's signature OVF lecture series, while also collaborating with faculty colleagues in facilitating effective special events. The successful pilot of last year's Open VISIONS Forum "Espresso" allowed the series to expand into wider and deeper academic and community programs. Dr. Serazio's expertise will enable these smaller, more flexibly designed lectures to gain larger audiences and visibility while continuing OVF's efforts to promote the 'life of the mind' for multi-generational audiences.
"Dr. Serazio's exceptional arsenal of intellectual and creative talents will contribute to OVF's platform serving our students, faculty, and a growing community audience of lifelong learners," said Philip Eliasoph, Ph.D., Founder, Moderator and Director of Open VISIONS Forum and Professor of Art History. "As the series grows in prestige, bringing leading international diplomats, opinion-makers, authors, artists, and humanitarians to campus, he is uniquely qualified to promote our expanding program."
"I couldn't be more thrilled to join the Open VISIONS Forum team," says Dr. Serazio. "One of the most vital things a university can do is to keep the wider community engaged in the big social, cultural, and political questions of our time, and OVF has long performed that role skillfully by bringing scintillating speakers and eager audiences to our campus, and with Espresso, we hope to continue that tradition in dynamic ways."
Dr. Serazio's research, writing, and teaching interests include popular culture, advertising, politics, and new media. In his first book,Your Ad Here: The Cool Sell of Guerrilla Marketing (NYU Press, 2013), Dr. Serazio investigates the proliferation of brands into pop culture content, social patterns, and digital platforms book, amid a major transformation of the advertising and media industries, and establishes his role at the epicenter of a new breed of scholars deconstructing the stealth commercial measures of the 21st century. In his articles and timely postings in The Atlantic, The Nation, and Bloomberg View, appearances on NPR, as well as in academic journals, he both exposes and exploits the matrix of digital media with its subtle, sophisticated orchestration of our contemporary lives in ways both consumerist and political. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, holds a B.A. in Communication from the University of San Francisco, and an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University.
Soon after joining the Fairfield University faculty in fall 2010, Dr. Serazio demonstrated his keen interest in OVF and has twice been invited as a faculty respondent for on-stage dialogues with the series' distinguished guests. "As one of our most productive junior faculty, he is on the cutting edge of a new generation of media critics, endowed with impeccable scholarly credentials but layered with a cool, nervy, critical engagement with the impersonal forces of corporate media and Big Data dehumanization," said Dr. Eliasoph. "It takes a really intuitive sense of 'connectivity' to our current – sometimes wild, often confusing, always impactful – cultural landscape. He has his mind and spirit right on the pulse of our media environment – and we will all be enlightened with his presence."
Dr. Serazio notes in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed: "Guerrilla advertising is slowly disappearing from view even as it becomes more ubiquitous than ever. We're seeing a new breed of 'hidden persuaders' optimized for 21-century media content, social patterns, and digital platforms. This is advertising that markets without selling and shows without telling. Consumers would do well to pay closer attention to what's being hidden in plain sight."
The OVF bar was set high from the start, with Philippe de Montebello, then Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as its inaugural speaker in September 1997. This season is just as suitably represented by a series that includes CBS News' Steve Kroft (Sept. 16); actress America Ferrera of "Ugly Betty" fame in the Eighth Annual Students Forum (Oct. 7); Damien Echols and Lorri Davis in the Annual Jacoby-Lunin Humanitarian Lectureship (Nov. 18); The New York Times' A.O. Scott (Jan. 27, 2014); Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson (Feb. 11); human rights activist Ronan Farrow (March 18); and Dr. Spencer Wells, Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society (April 10). Lectures take place in the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. For further information, call (203) 254-4010 or 1-877-278-7396, or visit www.quickcenter.com.

A 34-year-old Hilo man who nearly drowned over the weekend died Thursday from the incident, according to Big Island police.
Chris Broussard and his 9-year-old son were snorkeling in a tide pool in the Brown's Beach area Sunday morning when a large wave swept the boy out of the tide pool.
Broussard jumped into the ocean in an attempt to save the boy. By the time bystanders were able to pull the child to safety, Broussard was floating face down in the water.
Fire rescue personnel took him to Hilo Medical Center, where he died at 10:10 a.m. Thursday.
Police are investigating the case as a fatal public accident.

The Honda Civic Tourer will be revealed in full production form at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, and Auto Express has learned that the new estate will have the biggest boot in the family car class.
We spoke to senior engineer Adrian Killham at the brand's R&D centre in Swindon, Wiltshire. He said: "When the VW Golf Mk7 estate appeared at Geneva [in March], it had 605 litres, then Skoda went one better with 610 litres in the Octavia. But the Civic will offer significantly more."
Killham also confirmed that, like its rivals, the 1.6-litre diesel version of the Civic Tourer will "emit less than 100g/km of CO2". And even though the Civic wasn't designed to be developed into an estate, the conversion has added less than 40kg to the kerbweight.
The design of the Geneva show concept in our pictures will be toned down before the car hits dealers, but the swooping rear lights and wraparound glass will remain. And Killham told us the boot lip has been lowered even further to help boost practicality. "The Civic will be perfect for dog owners and towing," he said.
It will keep the hatch's flip-up 'magic' seatbases, too, while the higher roofline has apparently improved headroom in the rear for taller passengers too.
Engines will be carried over from the hatch, so there will be 1.4 and 1.8-litre petrols, plus 2.2 and ultra-efficient 1.6-litre diesels. But Killham was coy about the possibility of a hybrid, telling us: "That target [CO2] is always moving, and we might look at new technologies as they start to be available. But we'll stick with the engines we have for now."
He also revealed that top-spec Civic Tourers would stand out with a form of adaptive suspension that will be "very appropriate for a wagon". And while he was vague on the exact details, it should act like a self-levelling system. The price is expected to rise by "between £500 and £1,200" over the hatch once it goes on sale in the UK in January 2014.
You would hope it had a good sized boot on it with a rear end like that. Funny how Honda have suddenly lost enthusiasm for hybrid technology now they have a competetive diesel engine in their line up.
How have they lost their enthusiasm for hybrid technology? From a relatively small range of cars they offer three models with hybid powerplants. It makes sense to offer diesel power in a C-segment estate which will likely be a bigger seller in Europe. I couldn't see a hybrid engined Civic estate being as popular.
'That target [CO2] is always moving, and we might look at new
technologies as they start to be available. But we'll stick with the
engines we have for now'
Sounds to me like the decision revolves more about the viability of hybrid technology compared to diesel rather than it not being right on this particular model but I might be wrong.

In the trailer for monogamy, Chris Messina spends all his time stalking a hooker even though he's got a perfectly good Rashida Jones at home. Granted she is a pretty hot hooker and probably knows all kinds of hooker tricks but even that has its detriments. Everybody and your mom knows that the more attractive the hooker, the more expensive. Throw in the special hooker tricks and, whoo boy, you need a small business loan.
So just stick with Rashida Jones, Chris Messina. She's more cost effective and slightly less likely to get you bludgeoned by an Eastern European pimp.
Consider posting a comment.
Uh huh, step one…. buy a Mac.

Those priorities can't be put off until the city has "a good year," he says.
"Those good years do or do not happen," he says. "That doesn't make any difference on what your parks are."
'Never, never give in'
Righeimer has repeatedly said he's not interested in a higher office. Rather, he says he's more apt to look to his neighbors, especially the older ones walking their dogs
"I wanna be like them. I want to be in my same neighborhood where I live now walking my dog when I'm 80," he says. "I'm not gonna want to worry about the whole 'streets weren't taken care of and things weren't done' and all that."
Righeimer is married and has three children who are receiving a religious education in a private school.
Tragedy struck, though, for Righeimer and his wife, Lene, nine years ago when their first daughter, Rebecca, suffered a cardiac arrest and died at age 4 and a half.
Righeimer's friends credit his resilience through that difficult period, and Righeimer says he is a different person today because of it. But it's an event he considers very personal and does not talk about with many people.
Though he may be mayor, he doesn't see himself as different than many other fathers.
"I'm a guy with kids, a family," he says. "I run a business and make sure that the bills are paid. I don't think I'm any different. I have the same cares and concerns and desires and wants for my kids and their future, but that once you dig into things and you know how things are, you realize that there's some tough decisions and things have to be fixed."
Through all that, he's influenced by Winston Churchill's rallying cry to "never, never give in."
"On a problem that's not gonna go away, you can't quit," he says. "It's not gonna go away. You gotta fix it."

My two cents:
I'd say more moderation on checking that discussions don't get to personal attacks. I think it has been the case many times that we have been able to discuss many different points of view successfully, until it gets to the point where personal attacks begin. Then it degenerates.
My opinion is, define a set of things that won't be allowed: warez, illegal things, personal attacks (and define what personal attacks would be..) Perhaps establish tools for moderators: perhaps first a friendly warning to offenders, then either a second, stronger warning or ban or whatever seems appropiate.
I personally haven't felt that the moderators have made bad decisions yet.
It saddens me that this has happened, since I really like LinuxJunior. I hope we can work on our differences. Cloverm, you have my support on whatever decision you shoose to take.

How much sugar is too much when trying to lose weight, get healthy?
Q: How do you feel about taking in sugar and how much would you say is permissible when on a program to lose body fat and become healthier?
Do you know what the recommended daily allowance for sugar is?
— Katie, Seneca
A: There is no recommended daily allowance of sugar.
Most of you are probably saying right now, "What, no sugar?"
This should come to you as no surprise. Refined sugar is put into many items we eat every day so that our food will taste sweet and produce more cravings for more of the same.
More of the same = More stored fat, more risk of diabetes, more risk of heart disease and more obesity in our society.
We have all been fooled by the word "sugar."
We automatically think our bodies need sugar for survival. Our bodies need glucose for survival, and it usually is present in our bloodstream, liver and also sent to the muscles as glycogen (muscular energy).
Many of our Ultra Fit carbohydrate foods are converted into glucose. Our body uses glucose to restore glycogen (the fuel that the muscle uses for energy and strength) and also for overall energy. It also is metabolized to produce warmth.
Unfortunately, many manufacturers have combined all carbohydrates on food labels into one category — whether refined or not. Many products are separating out the sugar grams on the label. Be aware of a product that has a total of 40 grams of carbohydrates and 32 grams of it are sugar. This product is mostly all sugar and is not a very healthy food.
Here are words to beware of that are used to describe sugar in the ingredients of a food label:
Lactose: Sugar from milk. "Lactose intolerance" is caused by the sugar in milk
Maltose: Sugar from malt
Fructose: Sugar from fruit
Dextrose: Sugar from starch — "corn sugar"
Sucrose: Refined sugar from sugar cane or beats
The refined product of sugar cane, sucrose, can be very addictive. The more our body has, the more it wants. If you raise your children limiting their sugar intake, you will be surprised how they do not crave sugar like other kids. As a matter of fact, they will taste the sugar in certain products and say the food is too sweet.
The bottom line is that sugar can be detrimental to your health. Too much sugar, of all types, has been linked to the development of diabetes, cancer and skin problems. When many hours lapse between meals and insulin drops, your body begins to crave nourishment, and sugary foods are often chosen. Next time you get a craving and your first thought is sugar, make a delicious, sugar free, healthy meal, rich in quality protein and clean carbohydrates. Clean carbohydrates are also known as complex carbohydrates. They are broken down more slowly than the sugars we mentioned and provide a steady absorption of energy throughout the day. You can be confident you will be lowering your body fat, increasing lean muscle, sustaining blood sugar levels and improving your health by the minute. Your future depends on the decisions you make, and staying away from sugar is a great decision.

Great Experience

Great in crud
By Portal
from Vt
I am an older skier with bad habits well ingrained. I was struggling in spring slush with my all-mountain Blizzard 8.1s. Getting knocked into the back seat, over turning and spinning out. Trying to control speed often resulted in over turning and ending up going backwards. Great for ripping a tendon! I was ready to give up spring skiing. Yesterday I tested 3 skis in spring crud. A Solomon, with full rocker was really squirrelly highly responsive but all over the place with no tracking ability. A Blizzard with tip rocker was better than the Solomon, bit both tended to loose tail grip and spin out. The LINE 98 was great. Easy turn in with good tail hook up. Tried all of these skis on some shaded groomed ice and all 3 chattered, so that is a negative, but the trade off for spring conditions is well worth it. I hated the idea of buying skis made in China, and the skin tone/lime green graphics are stupid. Also, we used to laugh at people on LINE skis as totally uncool. I don't think they will hold up like an Austrian ski, but they were cheap and they work great!
