Ten Ways To Go Green On St. Patrick's Day
In order to maximize fun and goodwill, read below for ten surefire ways to make St. Patrick's Day crazy-green. (And then you can tell those haters pinching you for not wearing green that, in thought and execution, you are totally green all over.)
1. Find your St. Patrick's Day accessories at thrift stores, on eBay, and other places where used goods are sold.
Why? Because it lessens the affect that manufactured cheap plastic goods have on the environment. Take, for example, those sparkly shamrock headbands you love wearing. When they're made, tons of chemicals are used to produce the plastic, dye them, decorate them. All of these chemicals get released into the environment and take their toll.
Purchasing used goods is a great way to not only look super cool and Irish, but also use something that already exists and that doesn't have to be chemically produced for you to use. Ecolife has a great piece on buying used toys that I think is completely applicable to all that St. Patty's Day gear we love to purchase. Here is their list of reasons why you should buy used:
- Buying used costs much less than buying new.
- Used products require no new resources or energy to create.
- Landfill space is preserved.
- Useful materials and given a second life rather than discarded before their usefulness has been exhausted.
- Buying used usually means buying locally, which reduces the greenhouse gases emitted to get it to your home.
- Second hand toys are inherently fair trade.
- If a toy was made with off-gassing materials like paints and adhesives, they may well have already released all of their volatile organic compounds (VOCs) making them safer for your indoor air quality.
2. Don't eat meat or animal products this week—or ever.
I was surprised to find out from PETA just how much the meat industry affects our environment. Apparently the industry and its factory farming is attributed with putting the most greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere (more than cars, ships, and planes combined).
According to a United Nations report from 2010, "a global shift toward a vegan diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change." Watch this short, informative video called "Meat Is Not Green" and then feel a little bit greener for knowing how to avoid meals that decrease environmental stability.
3. Make a vegan dessert to share with friends.
Here's a short list of snacks and tasty desserts that will convey to your friends, "Yeah, I am super Irish."
- Irish nachos (OK, I can't speak to the Irish authenticity of these, but they look awesome—like the perfect late night snack after an evening of St. Patrick's Day festivities.)
- Cock of the north (a dish with colcannon, beer gravy, and soda bread. Mmm.)
- Irish whiskey cake (with a more detailed recipe here)
- Irish soda bread
- Irish cake bombs
4. If you love to celebrate your heritage with a pint of brew, make sure to chose vegan- and vegetarian-friendly beers.
Guinness, for example, is unfortunately not vegan and traditional hops drinks are made using harmful pesticides. Instead, try vegan options like Bulmers Pear Cider and Krombacher Pils or vegetarian options like Harp Irish Lager. Find more options for vegetarian and/or vegan-friendly beers here, or try the eco-friendly stouts listed below from Green Upgrader:
- Chocolate Stout from Bison Brewing
- Organic Stout from Hawkshead Brewery
- Laurelwood's Organic Portland Roast Espresso Stout
- Old Plowshare Organic Stout from North Coast Brewing Company
- Wolaver's Certified Organic Oatmeal Stout
5. Drink and eat from recyclable tableware.
Having or attending a St. Patrick's Day party? Show off your green-dyed beverages in biodegradable cups that use "corn plastic" and avoid using non-biodegradable plastic utensils by bringing or using your own silverware. (A note about corn cups: remember that not all corn products are biodegradable—some can only be composted and do not break down. Be sure to check labels.)
Reasons: According to Green America's webpage for "Ten Things You Should Never Buy Again," many everyday plastics like cups, forks, and knives can contain PVC. "Vinyl chloride, the chemical used to make PVC, is a known human carcinogen," the site says. "Also, additives, such as lead and cadmium, are sometimes added to PVC to keep it from breaking down; these additives can be particularly dangerous in children's toys. PVC is also the least-recycled plastic."
Their action steps say that you should "avoid plastics that are labeled as PVC or #3. Look for #1 and #2 plastics, which are easier to recycle and don't produce as many toxins."
6. Buy organic chartreuse roses for your significant other.
So, traditionally, St. Patrick's Day isn't the most romantic of holidays. But these chartreuse roses from Organic Bouquet are pretty irresistible (especially if you're like me and would rather sit on your couch and stare at pretty flowers than stumble around town for the annual St. Patty's bar crawl).
Plus, partial proceeds from each purchase are donated to Green America, a nonprofit founded in 1982 whose mission is to "harness economic power—the strength of consumers, investors, businesses, and the marketplace—to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society."
7. Dye your beverages green using eco-friendly, natural food coloring.
Skip the store-bought food coloring and dyes that often include chemicals that are harmful to you and the environment. Instead, make green dyes from saffron and gamboge, spinach, or sap. Slight warning: Use a strong beer for this DIY, because oftentimes the spinach dye base can slightly flavor your brew.
Follow these instructions posted by the Old School Pastry blog earlier this year, and you'll be good to go.
Spinach [dye]: Wash and drain a sufficient quantity of spinach, pound it well in a mortar, and squeeze the pounded leaves in a coarse cloth to extract all the juice. Put it in a pan [on medium-high heat] and stir occasionally until it curdles, which will be when it is at the boiling point. Then take it off and strain off the water with a fine sieve. The residue left is the green. Dry it and rub it through a lawn sieve.
8. Give yourself a green manicure (you too, guys).
Many ladies (and some men!) show their St. Patrick's Day spirit with a coat or two of green nail polish. Undoubtedly, it's made with and has a lot of chemicals—which is why it's so great that there are now tons of environment-safe products on the market. So, not only will you look really good with green nail paint (in punchy colors like Hunter and Ceasefire), but it'll also be peachy keen for the Earth. Izzitgreen has rounded up a few lovely brands with green shades for the masses, listed below. (And, guys, if you really don't want to paint your super-masculine nails, go ahead and just buy some for your favorite lady.)
- Scotch Naturals WaterColors in Ceasefire
- Suncoat Water-Based Nail Polish in Apple Green
- Zoya Nail Polish in Tangy and Midori
- American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Hunter and Army Jacket
- Priti NYC in Fishbone Cactus
9. Celebrate St. Pawtrick's Day to promote animal welfare.
You read that right. St. Pawtrick's Day is an actual thing—there is an adoption event going on in LA this Saturday and an event to benefit the Humane Society of New York in NYC on Wednesday. So, sign up to volunteer or participate in those if you can by visiting Ruff Patches or visit the Facebook event page to RSVP for St. Pawtrick's Day in NYC.
Not in either of those cities? Don't fret! You can be part of your own St. Pawtrick's Day adventure by donating to the Humane Society and ASPCA, volunteering at your local no-kill shelter, or just hanging out with your attention-seeking pets.
10. Donate to the Red Cross to help Japan in their rescue and recovery efforts.
Help the earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan by donating money to help rescue and aid them, to help rebuild the destroyed farms and houses across Northern Japan, and so that they can begin rebuilding a large portion of their country. If you haven't already, here's your chance. And if you have, here's your chance to do it again. And if for some reason you need a bit of a nudge, just read this America.gov article from 2005 about how generous Japan was to the U.S. after Hurricane Katrina. For more information, read our recent articles about the Japan earthquake and tsunami here and here.
Last but not least: Happy St. Patrick's Day! Stay safe and may the luck o' the Irish be with you.

Updated thoroughly this year, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is our 2013 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year. The GL-Class earned the golden calipers by offering a vast assortment of powertrain options, muscular styling, and a gorgeous interior. The GL-Class comes in four different trim levels, all of which come standard with a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The "base" model is the GL350 Bluetec, which is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 that makes 240 hp and an impressive 455 lb-ft of torque. The GL350 boasts the best fuel economy of the GL range, with an EPA rating of 19/26 mpg city/highway. A step up the ladder is the GL450, which has a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8 under the hood that makes 362 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The GL450 is rated at 14/19 mpg. The GL550 is also powered by a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8, but this version makes 429 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The GL550 is EPA rated at 13/18 mpg. Topping off the GL-Class is the GL63 AMG</a, which gets a rip-snorting 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 that churns out 550 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. Though fuel economy is beside the point in the performance-oriented GL63 AMG, it's rated at 13/17 mpg.
The 2013 GLK-Class beat out 10 other contenders to become our SUV of the Year. We gave the GLK-Class the win for its performance of Intended Function, Design Advancement, Engineering Excellence, Efficiency, Safety, and Value in its segment. "Imagine a gigantic Swiss Army knife, with 50-some tools (one of the tools is a Leatherman, which itself has 50 tools)," we wrote, "Now imagine all the blades are gold-plated platinum, and the inlaid mother-of-pearl handle is wrapped in leather from a Himalayan bald eagle. That's basically the GL."
For 2013 the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is all-new. It's got revised styling, updated powertrains, and a redesigned interior. Other things like interior materials and its infotainment system have been improved as well.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is new this year. Roughly the same size as the first-generation model, the new GL features numerous refinements to the exterior, interior, and in the engine bay. Like the exterior, the interior has been completely re-done, and features high-quality and high lux Designo options. Under the hood sits a base turbodiesel V-6 engine and a slew of gas-powered V-8s, ensuring no matter what your needs are, they're met.

High Quality Gay Pornstar Topher DiMaggio in action
When it comes to the best high-quality porn, the videos at Drill My Hole are always produced using high standards and it shows in their films. The scenes typically have a gentle buildup of erotica before the hard-core scenes start. In this scene, a newcomer to acting and, hard-bodied Cole gets schooled by the more experienced and older Topher Dimaggio. The video begins when Cole shows up to the studio on time and ready to film his spot – only to learn that he isn't needed because they already got the shot from someone else.
Cole gets upset and complains to Topher that he should still be paid his salary, even though he wasn't needed. This is when Topher places a firm and hard kiss on Cole's mouth and then says, "if you want your money, then you're gonna have to do something for it." Cole is surprised at the statement, but quickly realizes that this is what his photo shoot would have involved anyway.
Topher quickly becomes forceful and aggressive with Cole, forcing him onto his knees, bossing him around, pumping his hard cock in and out of his mouth, and slapping his face with it too. Cole becomes very submissive and replies "yes sir" to Topher's every request, including tonguing his asshole and sucking his balls. When Dimaggio wants his cock up Coles tight young ass, he bends him over the office desk, spits on his stiff cock and slides it up his ass. After his ass loosens up, Cole begins moaning in ecstasy ass his asshole is filled to the brink. Topher continues to use Cole for his every desire, sitting on his face while playing with his cock and balls.
The two eventually end up on the floor, with Topher stroking the young Cole's cock until it explodes all over his warm and waiting mouth. After swallowing the salty load, Topher rams his hard cock into Cole's throat und pumps it until he fills it full of his own hot cum-load. This is one of those films that will cause you to let out a long 'phew' when it's all over. The guys at Drill My Hole have done it again, and the sequel will be another must-see thriller.

Let Oregon have its endless permutations of pants and jersey combinations. Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn cleared up some speculation Wednesday over the new look retro uniforms, seen here with photos.
The Buffs will wear black jerseys and gold pants at home. On the road the attire will be white jerseys over black pants.
Bohn emphasized "There will be no white pants."
The white jerseys, incidentally, will have the same large block "COLORADO" on the front as last year's retro home jerseys.
No word on all-black attire, but it's a safe bet considering it's a long-time CU tradition for big games.
Incidentally, it will be interesting to see if there is any new definition of "retro." CU will honor its 2001 Big 12 champs as well as honor the half century anniversary of the 1961 Big Eight championship team.

No Baseball News For Now...MRI For Me Today
I wanted to give you a quick update on my shoulder which I injured rather badly two months (wow!!) ago. It is still killing me and I saw the Doctor once again on Thursday morning. He gave me a cortisone shot RIGHT in the shoulder joint. It hurt so much that I kicked the wall! It was a "no damage to the wall" tap, but BOY, now I know why the baseball players do not like them. Remember, I take six shots of insulin every single day, but this needle was a monster. Oh boy, I guess it doesn't help to be claustrophobic when you get into an MRI machine for thirty minutes. I'll tough it out...I always have through the lean health times. I get through the bad to get to the good in life. As John Lennon said, "life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans." Truer words have never been written or sung. I still shed a few tears when I type that lyric. By the way, it's from a song called BEAUTIFUL BOY, his 1980 tribute to his very young son. He was shot dead less than a month later...everyone's loss.
Everyone, thank you for stopping in, wish me luck and I'll write a full experience report when I get home late this morning. I appprecrciate every one of you SO much. I really do! As always, BE WELL.

VisionFund Republica Dominica is a leading microfinance institution established as a subsidiary of VisionFund
International, a global microfinance institution operating in Africa, Asia,
Latin America and the Middle East/Eastern Europe. VisionFund International is a
wholly owned subsidiary of World Vision International, a Christian relief
development and advocacy organization. Working together, we provide the
foundations for local economies to flourish in healthy and safe communities.
We provide financial services to people
who would otherwise have little or no access to credit. The well-being of
children, families and communities in the Dominican Republic is our main focus. We serve the country's poorest people by
helping them start or grow their own businesses through loans of just a few
hundred dollars.
VisionFund Republica Dominicana began it's microfinance work as FIME, and has just recently changed it's name. For over a decade we have been helping the poor, who are highly capable of starting a business. Our financial services complement and further World Vision's aims to reach out to those living in poverty. These combined interventions help to improve their lives; their children's future; and the communities where they live.
The Dominican Republic has seen a large shift from being a predominantly agricultural exporter, to a service sector provider in areas such as tourism. More than 63% of workers now work in service industries and only 14% in agricultural occupations. However, the country's unemployment rate is currently at 13%.
The GDP is at more than $94 billion, but the richest 10% of the population receives 40% of this wealth. This leaves nearly 35% of the population under the poverty line.
There are more than 617,000 micro businesses in the Dominican Republic, but microfinance services are only reaching 17% of those in need. This creates huge opportunities for our microfinance institution to provide services to a growing need, especially in the agricultural field.
The opportunity to start and own your own business is the alternative to the lack of jobs currently in the Dominican Republic. These jobs generate the revenue needed to sustain families and households across the country.
Milena Ureña has been serving in the role of CFO
of VisionFund Dominican Republic since 2009 and took up the role of CEO at the
beginning of fiscal year 2018. She has a degree in business and has over 14
years' experience working in microfinance institutions.
We are a four-diamond microfinance provider by MIX Market.
We are also actively involved with the funder CITI Foundation and giving out CITI Awards to business owners throughout their network. These individuals are recognised for their innovative and productive initiatives that positively impact their communities.

Ever wanted to videochat with the Nigerian prince who wants you to move his offshore gold? This is the next best thing. The Letters (信) is a solo show featuring the fictional authors of spam that artist Yu Cheng-ta (余政達) chose from his inbox. His exhibition is a multi-channel video installation that shows actors reading and improvising on the letters. All actors were found through Facebook and match the reported physical descriptions of the writers: There's a dying Kuwaiti widow, the son of a Libyan prime minister, an Asian woman, an Irish salesman and an African banker inviting you to join him in international crime. The actors work to make spam visible, so that viewers can confront racial stereotypes that global enterprises employ for their financial gain.

The X-Man is a solo exhibition by Nick Veasey, a British artist who specializes in X-ray photography. Using industrial radiographic imaging equipment, Veasey captures below-the-surface views of a rose, a French cornet and other objects. One image, of a Boeing 777, was achieved by knitting together hundreds of scans. These photos expose delicate inner workings that are ordinarily invisible to the human eye, baring their man- or nature-made design.

Contiguous Zone (領海) is a group show of nine Japanese artists bringing newfangled curiosities of mainstream contemporary art. Miki Kubota transforms 2D tattoo illustrations into 3D sculptures, using a crafty combination of photography and printing; Takahiro Hirabayashi has invented an eerie portrait aesthetic that trades heavily on bruises and wounds. Other works on view include sculpture, block prints and acrylic paintings that — as the exhibition's title suggests — sit on their genre's border, with ambitions to reshape it with their techniques and visual vocabulary.

Memories of a Stray Dog (野犬記憶) is a solo exhibition featuring street photographer Daido Moriyama (b.1938). Moriyama has gained cult status in Japan for high-contrast, rough-particle images that he takes quickly and without using a viewfinder. He is the titular stray dog, and his work records the grimmer aspects of city life. Yi&C Contemporary Art (易雅居當代空間館) brings together Moriyama's early series Provoke (挑釁, 1968), New York (1971), Tight (網襪, 1987) and Tiles (磁磚, 1987), as well as more recent prints, Rolling Stones and Hawaii Dog.

The chocolate bars I nabbed is by Frey - dark variety with 72% cocoa content. Wow, that's the highest I've used for cooking. Why I got it? It was on sale at the local Migros grocery near my sister's place when I visited her in Geneva a few months ago. You know me, I love value for money that means anything on sale!
Unlike some 70% chocolate I had before, this one is very deeply dark brown almost black actually. I savoured a small bite of it that showed it had smoothness, just the right amount of sugar and creaminess, a hint of coffee, with a little bitterness in the finish. Although I couldn't really tell how it would compare to one of those single-estate-organic-super-high-end types that your get from uber cool chocolate boutiques. All I can say is I like its smell, colour, and taste. Now let's see how it would fare when cooked.
I wanted to make something uncomplicated that would show the real qualities of chocolate. First thing that came to mind was chocolate truffles which I thought was perfect but then I've already posted one and for SHF, too! So out came this recipe from my burgeoning clippings from the BBC GoodFood magazine. It looks simple enough until I read closely about 'finely chopped' and 'crushed'. Turned out it requires more elbow grease. Oh well, things I have to do to have my sugar fix. :) The recipe originally asked for dried apricots but I bet any dried or candied fruit would be lovely in it. Things like cherries, pineapples, cranberries, even crystallised ginger! I did not include any chopped nuts because I thought there's too many things in it already. Maybe next time I'll lose the ground almond and put in the nuts. The chocolate itself had to be sufficiently chilled after melting to make it easy enough to mold into a log. Once you've done that the rolling on the crushed biscuits is easy peasy.
How did it taste? Well, the honey had a definite influence on it so other honey flavours would give it a different slant (even golden syrup would be interesting). Despite the number of distractions on this log (did I say I'm making something uncomplicated?), the chocolate still shone through. Dark, very slightly bitter, at the same time meltingly smooth in the mouth. Such a nice change from the gritty chocolates my husband brought home last Christmas.
Chocolate Salami
250 g dark chocolate or combination of milk and dark chocolates
100 g butter
3 Tbsp clear honey
100 g ground almonds
100 g dried or candied fruits (apricots, cherries, etc.) - finely chopped
50 g toasted nuts (optional) - finely chopped
100 g amaretti biscuits - crushed
- Melt chocolate, butter and honey in a heatproof bowl over simmering water in a saucepan.
- Remove from heat and add almonds, toasted nuts (if using), and dried fruits.
- Cool completely and chill in fridge for about 1-2 hours until it is of dough-like consistency.
- Shape into a log (about 2 inches thick) and roll on crushed amaretti biscuits.
- Wrap in greaseproof paper and again tightly in foil.
Chill overnight in fridge.
- Before serving slice into rounds with sharp knife.

(AOL Autos) -- Some car companies just can't leave well enough alone. After all, if you have the best-selling car eight of the past nine years, have projections to sell 420,000 more next year and your new model has won just about every automotive award available, except the Indy 500 Milk Bottle, why would you place the engineering equivalent of a graffiti mustache on it?
Toyota has three reasons for creating a new hybrid version of their wildly popular Camry. First, Toyota is out to retain and expand its reputation for leadership in hybrid technology that started with the "It Ain't Easy being Green" Prius.
Second, the Camry Hybrid sedan joins the new Highlander Hybrid as another model in a long-range plan to develop hybrids to fit all marketing segments.
The third is financial: through innovation, aggressive product development and offering the car shopper a wide choice, Toyota hopes to make more sales.
Completely redesigned to be more declarative and aggressive, the Camry Hybrid, which has an MSRP of $25,200, is described by Toyota as "athletic and elegant," and that it is. Today, despite the fact that thousands of hybrid Camrys are mingling with traffic on our streets and roads, the perception has not become seen-one-seen-em-all.
Although not quite a Maserati Quattroporte, the Toyota Camry can do its fair share of head turning. Its newly-designed semi-sinister (or smiling, depending on your outlook) grille features projector-headlights highlights with a low, ready-to-spring crouch. From there, a sleek, shark-swoop fender line streaks back along gracefully-curved flanks to a naturally-melding high trunk profile which seems to fit the overall design better than the BMW protruding butts. Our test car was a high-luxe metallic white with the sheen of a giant pearl.
Inside the vault-clunking doors, there is 101.4 cubic feet of passenger volume, seemingly room enough for the starting backfield of the Dallas Cowboys. The feeling of spaciousness is enhanced because the huge windshield and cleverly curved dashboard have been pushed considerably forward. The Camry rear legroom is now over 38 inches. Those rear seats now recline eight degrees and have personal reading lamps on the moonroof-equipped models. Add two jet engines and this vehicle could replace six major airlines.
The entire cockpit has a Lexus-Mercedes-Cadillac feel, enhanced by easy to understand and operate buttons and switches that make everything instantly manageable. Even the optional voice-operated navigation system will make a non-direction-asking husband fall in love. Instruments are large, readable and viewable in bright sunlight. Instead of the usual tachometer, there is a constant readout mpg gauge marked from 0 mpg to 60 and then into a range beyond the numbers when the Camry drives without engine power.
The Camry Hybrid we tested didn't miss a stop on the production line, came as well-equipped as any of its top-shelf Lexus relatives. In addition to the companionable voiced navigation system were seating surfaces covered in leather, a multi-position sun/moon roof, 12v plugs, cup holders, multiple storage bins, a display showing outside temperature, estimated range, average speed, average fuel use and trip odometer, a 440-watt JBL audio system, Bluetooth technology for hands-free cell phone calls, and a keyless push button start system for the engine which takes some getting used to.
In short, the Hybrid Camry has all the operational gee-whizzes and touchy-feely gleams and textures one usually associates with much more expensive cars.
But, as they say, beauty is only skin-deep, so after sating ourselves with surface appeals, we went hunting for our top-of-the-list musts: safety engineering, equipment and operation.
Here, the Camry Hybrid takes care of its own and, obviously, yours too.
Like the other Camrys, the Hybrid features dual-stage driver and passenger SRS airbags, seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags, even a driver's knee airbag. Toyota uses their exclusive whiplash Injury Lessening Technology on the front seats. There is also a standard (ABS) anti-lock braking system, Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Brake Assist which applies enough pressure to engage the ABS if the driver has not mashed the brake pedal hard enough in emergencies.
The Hybrid is also equipped with the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System that helps control vehicle traction and stability through throttle control, brake application on individual wheels and even minor steering correction, if needed. Shortly, it would seem, we will all be safer if the vehicles start driving themselves and we can all relax in on our reclined back seats.
But as fetching as the Hybrid looks and as safe as it keeps its occupants, how does it scoot down the road? We set out to see and the going was, as they say, good. On a 78 degree day, on three runs, we got 0-60 mph two-way average times of 8.2, 7.9, and 8.0 seconds. Those 0-60 times compare very favorably to several models in its class.
The dual driving forces behind this surprisingly good performance are the two parts of the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive System which carries power between gas and electricity and/or both as needed
The first half of the combined 187 horsepower (same output as the 2006 Camry V-6 3.0 liter) unit is a 147 horsepower, 2.4 litre four cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine (a more efficient engine design) mated to a CVT or continuously variable transmission. The second half is a small, high torque 40-hp electric motor with a small inverter, compact battery and a transaxle, a component that combines the transmission, differential and the drive into one integrated assembly, handling power from both engines.
Because there are times when the gas engine shuts down completely to conserve fuel, Toyota engineers have designed the air conditioning and power steering systems to be driven electrically. There is also an ECO button which can control how much energy is being used by the climate control system.
Also helping the Camry Hybrid accomplish its mpg levels are racing-inspired design elements like wheel spats and underbelly pans which help yield outstandingly low draft coefficients. The slipperier a vehicle is in sliding through the air, the better draft coefficients it has. As examples, the older boxy Volvo 960 had a Cd of .36 while the newer, sleeker model S80 went down to 0.28. The Camry Hybrid has 0.27 Cd.
The EPA estimates 40mpg city/38mpg highway for this new Hybrid. Our experience, including the mini 0-60 mph drag meet, heavy-footed runs along the freeways, shopping mall stop-and-go with lots of air conditioning and general around town cruising, was a bit less with an overall average of 34 mpg. This was generous enough, seemed to us, for a full out, good performing, full sized luxury-type sedan.
If you are still undecided about a Hybrid car and want to wait and see where the industry is headed; whether that is more look-at-me models or me-too versions, Toyota is evidently planning to cover both bases. Word is that the factory fanciers of the Prius look will soon add additional models to the existing four door sedan, including an SUV. Over at the business-as-usual design shop, plans seem to be to just add hybrid technology to existing models and demand and future product planning dictate.
Either way you look at it, Toyota will be offering consumers with more choices and we think the Camry Hybrid is a great one.

i won't teach my daughter it's wrong to flash her boobs
February 12, 2013 | 60 Comments
Of course I don't want Emma willy nilly flinging her naked body around the internet. Or, at all. Ever. If she does, I hope she waits until her forties. But, let's be realistic: a parent is never completely in control of his or her babies. Should Emma one day decide a good ole boobie flash is on the menu, here's what I want her to know.
Dear Emma,
Some day you may decide to flash your naked self. There are different reasons to make this kind of a decision. It could be to fill an unmet need you may or may not be aware exists. The need for love, approval, or a need to fight body shame. God, I hope you skip body shame. Maybe you'll flash your naked self in the spirit of fun, playfulness, and in celebration of femininity, independence, empowerment and autonomous body ownership. Whatever your reasons, my sweet girl, I hope you take time to consider possible outcomes. I hope you choose someone you trust. I hope it feels amazing.
If you don't consider consequences, don't choose someone you trust, and if it doesn't feel amazing, I hope you find a way to love yourself enough to let it go, learn from it, laugh about it, and ignore the assholes. I hope you don't let others define you or make you believe your decision makes you a slut or a whore. I hope you reject the idea of sluts and whores because they're ill-defined, subjective concepts created to control and shame what women do with their bodies. I hope you don't let anyone control or shame what you do with your body, Emma.
What happened with Amanda Todd is the saddest. The focus was and still is on her actions, when it should have been on loving the shit out of her and calling out the cruelty of those who tormented her. As your mama, do I want you flashing the internet? Not so much, but it's not my role to control you. You'll do things that feel right in the moment you'll regret later. It's what humans do. My job is to fill you with enough love now and always that you're able to see mistakes for what they really are—gifts to grow.
Exposing yourself isn't necessarily a mistake. It doesn't automatically depict weakness or insecurity. I'm not sure a 13-year-old has enough solid roots to sensibly decide to expose herself or to weather the backlash, but that's true for women of all ages. I cringe at the thought of you flashing your body not because it's wrong, but because what happens next is out of our control. Many of us are missing the ingredients to bear the scrutiny that comes with controversial decisions. If I had enough chutzpah, maybe I'd be naked more often. Or at least be doing less shoulds and more wants.
I'm sad Amanda felt compelled to fill her unmet needs with what she hoped would be positive attention and approval from others. I'm sad she didn't know or believe all that love and approval was already inside her. I'm sad the very people who asked for what she gave turned her world dark. I'm sad she wasn't able to say, "I don't give you permission to steal my power." I believe Amanda did the very best with what she had. I don't judge her. I ache for her.
Yesterday you were frustrated that a boy we visited insisted on playing something you didn't want to play. On the way home you said it wasn't fair because I taught you that when you have guests, you are to choose activities that interest everyone. You said, "Mom, it's the decent thing to do because it's the right thing to do." Remember how I said the way we do things is only one way and that our way is not The Right Way? And remember how I told you that it's this kind of thinking that has countries and cultures at war?
I don't possess the pluck it takes to get naked in a public way, but that certainly doesn't make it wrong. I admire women doing the remarkable, who are resolute in the face of judgy jerkmouth groups with a vision to shame. Those tenacious women—defying conformity—make the world a little safer and more cultivated for you and I, Em. Instead of shaming them, I choose to celebrate them, and I hope you'll join me.
I don't know, kid. I might not have this all right. But, even though I have a long way to go in learning how to love myself and the world better, I'm much closer than I used to be.
I want you to be a safe ally for the Amanda Todds of the world. I want you to know that nothing you do is ever worth taking your own life over. I want you to know that what one person labels a mistake, another tenderly transforms into wisdom and empathy. The world has a lot to say about how women should conduct themselves and most of those ideas are total bullshit. If you want to talk about any of it, I'm your person. I don't have the answers, but I know a shit ton of smart people we can pull together for world-dominating brainstorming sessions.
You're not alone, little girl. Never, ever, never, never, never, ever.
All of the loves of all of the universes,
Like Truthfully on Facebook. I lead world-dominating female-positive conversations there. (I totally do!)
Linking up with Yeah Write because all the cool kids are. Well, the smart cool kids, at least.

From the German Film "Of Girls and Horses"
Feminism has enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence recently, especially with celebrities from Emma Watson to Beyoncé proclaiming their support of new gender equality initiatives. So it seems fitting that the China Women's Film Festival (CWFF) is now returning for a third year with events kicking off this Sunday, September 19. A week of events will follow before they move on to tour six other cities in China over the following months.
"The CWFF works to increase public awareness and visibility of female directors, feminists and women in art and film and illuminate the multitude of challenges facing women in China." The Crossroads Centre
It's run by the wonderful Crossroads Centre, a local not-for-profit community space, and supported by the UN Women's HeforShe project which was launched to encourage the equal participation of men and women in working towards gender equality.

The story of NASA's Apollo 13 mission has been told so well, so many times, across so many types of media, that there's little point in rehashing the details here. From Ron Howard's rousing 1995 movie (based on the unputdownable 1994 bestseller, Apollo 13, by TIME's Jeff Kluger and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell) to documentaries, oral histories and countless other accounts, the mission that many characterize as NASA's "finest hour" has assumed a near-mythic resonance in the national consciousness — a resonance that endures, in large part, precisely because the stranger-than-fiction tale is true.
Here, in tribute to Apollo 13's three-man crew — Lovell, Command Module pilot Jack Swigert and Lunar Module pilot Fred Haise — LIFE.com commemorates the mission with a series of intimate, stirring photos made at the Lovells' Texas home, in the very midst of the crisis, by LIFE magazine's Bill Eppridge.
In a recent talk with LIFE.com, Commander Lovell expressed surprise (a surprise, it should be noted, that's not shared by many outside of NASA) that the remarkable story of Apollo 13 has, in his words, "held an interest for folks for this long."
More than four decades on, Lovell acknowledges the drama inherent in the effort to make it back to Earth after an oxygen-tank rupture scuttled the crew's journey to the moon, but the one aspect of the endeavor that he believes truly defined — and saved — the mission was the phenomenal and tenacious teamwork that NASA brought to bear on the crisis.
"I still have mixed emotions about it all, of course," the 85-year-old retired astronaut and Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree told LIFE.com. "We were all deeply disappointed about not getting a chance to land on the moon — to fulfill our mission. But to this day, I still give talks to groups about what we went through, and what NASA learned all those years ago. And the one point I often stress is that it was teamwork — between the three of us in the lunar module and, later, in the command module and so many other people on the ground, at Mission Control — it was teamwork that got us home."
Home, meanwhile, is where LIFE's Eppridge spent several days, photographing Lovell's wife, Marilyn, and several of their children as Lovell, Swigert and Haise fought to complete a mission that, by then, was wholly, radically different than the one they'd originally embarked upon.
"We had a 'squawk box' in the home," Lovell recalls, "and Marilyn and the kids could use it to hear all of the communications between the crew and Mission Control. [See slide #7 in this gallery.] It was tough for them, obviously — they could listen to everything that was being said, but they could not talk to us. I know that there were times when Marilyn couldn't help but be upset — times when maybe the voices of the crew and the voices at Mission Control were raised a little louder than usual. Not knowing if that meant something was really wrong, or if we were suddenly in real danger . . . I know that was hard for all of them."
One aspect of the entire situation that was a help for Lovell's family, however, was being surrounded by friends and colleagues — including fellow astronauts like Pete Conrad (Gemini 5 and 11 and, later, Apollo 12), Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) and Rusty Schweickart and Dave Scott (Apollo 9) — who were able to not only walk the family through exactly what was going on in space and at Mission Control, but could also run interference, in a sense, when the family needed peace and quiet, or just a bit of rare and much-needed privacy during those fraught days and nights.
(Stressing how accurate the Apollo 13 movie was, Lovell notes that one of the film's most memorable lines — spoken when his mother in the film, played by Ron Howard's real-life mom, asks Armstrong and Aldrin, "Are you boys in the space program, too?" — was not a Hollywood fabrication. It might sound too good to be true; it might sound like something a scriptwriter would dream up; but how it happened onscreen is exactly how it happened in real life, Lovell says: a reminder of the deep, informal support system that was in place, and remains in place, throughout NASA's extended family.)
Today, in the post-Space Shuttle era, when mind-bendingly complex hi-tech rovers and robots have become, at least for now, the new "faces" of American space exploration, the scope of Apollo 13's improbable triumph remains humbling and — no matter how often we encounter the tale — wondrously thrilling.
Need a reminder of just how humbling, how thrilling, how improbable it all really was? Go ahead. Look closely at the photos in this gallery. Study the faces, the postures, the gestures of the brave ones who stayed behind — the family and friends: waiting, watching, praying and somehow, despite everything, never despairing.

A new set of leaders is emerging in the cloud and SaaS industries. We sat down with Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite, which is competing with Salesforce.com and is poised to take business from big software companies like Microsoft and SAP.
"I am just shocked at the lack of innovation," says Nelson about Microsoft.
He also had harsh words for SAP, the leader in enterprise resource management (ERP) software, where NetSuite competes: "The first thing I've discovered is SAP actually doesn't work....After a decade, I'll talk to customers and they're in the middle of a decade long implementation, and they still can't generate any invoices, is it shocking."
Nelson also explains why cloud companies like NetSuite and Salesforce.com have such crummy margins today compared with traditional software companies -- and how that's going to change over the long run.
Watch below.

- Jenny
As the early morning light flowed into my kitchen one morning last week, I noticed a tree in the far back of my yard beginning to turn red. Another season, another set of holidays on the horizon that none of us will be quite prepared for, another slog in the early darkness from the office to the metro to home. Same. Same. Same.
It seems only children experience the absolutely new, from their early moments as terrifying bundles of sheer need, to their wobbling discovery of the world below their feet, all on the journey toward their own traditions and eventual drudgery.
I was at that 6:30 am moment overcome with the need to make a cake. A new cake, actually, because untried recipes -- along with ingredients and techniques -- are the one way we can keep our kitchens, and our lives, rebooting. I love my standbys, I have made some of them scores of times. But it felt nice to bring a new friend into my kitchen, especially one that would greet the rest of the family, warm and fragrant, when they awoke.
If you are in search of fresh meaning in your life, or, more likely, just a better breakfast cake, I strongly recommend Prune Coffee Cake. This fits the weekday mandate quite easily; I had the whole thing whipped up just in time to run upstairs and cajole my kids from their beds, by taking a very few shortcuts.
First of all, this is breakfast time, so your coffee is already made, no? While you plump your prunes in the hot liquid, get your butter and sugar going in the mixer while you whip together your dry stuff. Toss that egg in, then the vanilla. Don't forget the maple syrup, the sweet key to this whole cake, but if you do, as I did, you can toss it in at the end. I did not process my prunes, but rather threw them in with the coffee into the batter. Just be sure to cut them on the small side.
I did not use powdered sugar, though would have -- for variety! -- were I serving it at a brunch. Which I should. If I had brunches. Which I don't.
What amazed me about this cake was how moist it was, considering how little fat it has relative to the flour. Its aromas conjure some family tradition, which one just depends on your family. Bring it to work to spice up your day. Your life may not feel so different for your efforts, but it will be for the moment more pleasurable.

Crow Call

This is my first-ever picture book, a true story about a day I spent with my father after he returned from World War II. The illustrations were beautifully done by artist Bagram Ibatoulline. He had a photograph of me at age 9, wearing the too-large plaid shirt that is described in the story. Looking at his pictures is like looking into a magic telescope and seeing myself as a child.
