IUCN has published a new report on forest governance structures, systems and stakeholders in six key tropical forest countries: Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ghana, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Viet Nam.
This report synthesises the findings of six participatory national assessments carried out under IUCN's Strengthening Voices for Better Choices (SVBC) global forest governance project. The purpose of these assessments was to provide an understanding of the policy, regulatory and institutional obstacles to using forests sustainably. Each produced many valuable findings, insights and recommendations for improving forest governance, all of which were validated through broad stakeholder consultation. A number of these recommendations have been taken up and implemented by the states concerned, leading to concrete improvements in governance systems.
The synthesis provides a background to the concept of governance and how it has evolved in the fields of development and conservation. Drawing on a review of different definitions of governance, it identifies 7 key elements of governance (laws, institutions, processes, accountability, transparency, participation, predictability) and uses these to synthesise the findings of the assessments.
This report has been produced jointly by IUCN's Forest Programme, Environmental Law Programme, and Ecosystems and Livelihoods Group. It is aimed at IUCN members, partners and staff working on forest and governance issues, as well as a wider audience of interested laymen and specialists alike.

Merry Christmas from Canada!
My family and I recently relocated from Dallas, Texas to Calgary, Alberta and will be spending our first "snowy" Christmas in Canada. I'm so happy to be a part of Design Dazzles "100 Wonderful Christmas Ideas".
This year, I wanted our son to have an Advent calendar. After looking around to purchase one, I thought it would be more fun to make one. I was in the dollar store a while back and I saw a set of 12 small matchboxes for a $1.00. I instantly knew that these would be the starting point for my calendar. Here is the finished calendar, but let me show you how I made it.
Here is what you will need to create your own Matchbox Advent Calendar Board......
24" x 24" sheet of plywood
Scrapbook paper
Matchbooks (I got my at the Dollar Store, 12 for a $1.00)
Paper cutter and scorer
Velcro Dots
Scrapbook embellishments
Mod Podge
I first started by painting my board white. You can either use spray paint or regular paint. I had a can of white paint leftover from some furniture painting so I just used it.
After it dried completely, I used some glitter craft tape in red to frame it out and give it some color.
The first thing I did for the matchboxes was made a template out of a scrap piece of paper. Making a template will make cutting out all of the scrapbook paper so much easier.
Next, measure your matchbox and draw the lines. This is important because the lines indicate where you will need to score the paper for folding. Scoring will make it easier to fold and give the lines a cleaner look. I have the Cutterpede Straight Edge Trimmer by EK Success. This trimmer has interchangeable blades that you can purchase. You can see that product here and buy it at most craft stores.
Taking my template, I then traced where to cut and score. This paper was double sided and so I was able to cover two matchboxes with one piece of paper.
See the little lines I marked....these are the lines I'm going to score.
In the picture below, I am using the scoring blade. You can see that here. The scoring blade does not cut, it only indents the paper. It makes folding where you need lines alot easier.
After I scored and cut it, this is what it looked like.
I then mod podged each strip onto the empty matchboxes.
I formed an assembly line and covered all of the matchboxes before I started embellishing them.
After all of the boxes were covered, I cut out the dates from the sheet that came with the scrap pad. I purchased this 6" x 6" scrapbook paper from Michael's. It's made by My Mind's Eye.
After all of the dates were cut out, I embellished all of the boxes with scrapbooking supplies I already had. Here is a close-up of all of the boxes and how each are embellished.
I thought the idea of forming a Christmas tree out of the matchboxes was a cute idea and I simply just started from the top and worked my way down. I used Velcro dots to hold the boxes in place on the board. Each morning, our son can get up and pull the box off and look inside. The Velcro also allows for him to play with the boxes and rearrange them if he would like.
Here are the back of the boxes...
When the tree was finished, I decided to add some silver snowflakes that I cut out with my Silhouette Cameo and used rhinestones in the center to make them pop.
I have the calendar on a small bench on one of the stair landings so it's the perfect height for our son to open and see his goodies and treats.
Thanks for letting me share my Advent calendar with you. I wish each and every one of you a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

What time is it? It's Hickenlooper time
As a longtime journalist, Eric Brown was used to sitting in a newsroom staring at a bank of clocks featuring times around the world.
So he decided to decorate Gov. John Hickenlooper's press office with his own set of clocks, showing the time in various Colorado cities. Needless to say, all the clocks are set at the same time.
"People think it's funny," said Brown, former city editor of the Rocky Mountain News.
Actually, it is.

RICHMOND, Va. – The 2012 Baseball season is a little more than a month away, giving just enough time for several Rams to pick up some All-CAA preseason honors, courtesy of College Sports Madness. VCU senior Taylor Perkins was named to the first team, while junior Ryan Farrar and sophomores Joey Cujas and Bill Cullen garnered second team honors.
Perkins received the distinction of being the league's top utility man in 2012, an honor that was also bestowed upon him by the CAA following the 2011 campaign. Perkins spent time behind the plate, at first base, third base and as the team's designated hitter in 2011. The Dinwiddie, Va., native batted .320 with a team-leading 15 doubles and four home runs.
Farrar, a left-handed pitcher, enters the 2012 season full of confidence after a strong performance in the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League, a summer league based in the D.C. area. The Mechanicsville, Va., native was named the league's third best prospect after a breakout season for Youse's Orioles. Farrar made a team-high 14 appearances, while posting a 1-0 record with five saves. The southpaw threw 24 innings and fanned 36 batters, while posting a 1.36 ERA.
Cullen returns for his sophomore season after a promising freshman season, which saw him hit .324 (tied for second-best average on the team), rope 12 doubles, four triples and drive in 33 RBI. The speedy centerfielder finished 15-for-20 in stolen bases while drawing a team-high 29 walks. The Colonial Heights, Va., native was just as good defensively, as he finished with a .991 fielding percentage on 116 chances. Cullen's performance earned him Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America honors, in addition to being named to the All-CAA first team and rookie team.
Cujas, a All-CAA rookie team member in 2011, wrapped up his freshman season on a tear batting a team-best .427 during the final month of the year. The Midlothian, Va., product finished the season with a .321 batting average, a team-high 41 RBI, nine doubles, one triple and a pair of home runs.
VCU will open up the 2012 season on the west coast, with a three game series against Long Beach State (Feb. 17-19) and a two set against Pepperdine (Feb. 21-22).

This post brought to you by Sunkist. All opinions are 100% mine.
Creamy Orange Milkshake
So, oranges are supposed to be orange, right? Guess what… not always!
I know…that's news to me too. I just assumed with a name like orange you'd be that color, but with Sunkist® Valencia oranges, that's not always the case. I recently found out this cool little fact…
Sunkist® Valencia oranges may occasionally "re-green" in warm weather. When Valencias ripen on the tree, they turn a bright orange color but warm temperatures may make their skin reabsorb chlorophyll as they hang on the tree causing the orange color to look partly green—although the outside is green, the inside remains ripe and delicious!
As someone from Kansas, I just assumed if we were getting green oranges in the store, it was because they were picked too soon and not ripe or had been sitting too long. Not always the case.
So the next time you are in an all important trivia match, and a question comes up about Valencia oranges being green, you'll know exactly why that is so. If you want to up your Sunkist® Valencia Oranges trivia knowledge, you can also check out this video that explains the ripening process of Sunkist® Valencia Oranges.
I love infusing my favorite citrus flavors into a yummy summer treat. This Creamy Orange Milkshake using Sunkist® Valencia oranges tastes like a day on the beach. Enjoy!
Creamy Orange Milkshake with Valencia Oranges

The province's scheduled two-year review of its renewable energy FIT programme ended in March with a decision to cut the rate it pays for future wind-energy contracts from C$0.135/kWh(US$0.135) to C$0.115/kWh. The decrease reflects ongoing cost declines in the sector and should still be manageable for project developers, says Matt Kaplan, a senior analyst at IHS Emerging Energy Research. "It's still a very attractive price. You go across the Great Lakes to New York or Ohio and you'll probably not get close to that," he said.
Robert Hornung, president of the Canadian Wind Energy Association, calls the reduction "aggressive but not unreasonable". He expects it will be new entrants and smaller projects unable to take advantage of economies of scale and cheaper financing that will be most affected by the cut.
"What this does is work to somewhat limit the diversity of players within the industry in Ontario," Hornung said. "Does it mean that there will be no wind developed in Ontario or that the province will be challenged to meet its renewable-energy target? No, I don't think that's the case."
Ontario's target is to have 10.7GW of non-hydro renewable energy online by 2018, and the review recommended it award all the contracts needed to reach that mark by 2015. That commitment to continued deployment is a positive signal "especially in contrast to what we were looking at last fall, when there were real fears of the programme evaporating", said Jesse Broehl, of Make Consulting. "The difference is night and day. I think companies all along the value chain can take that to heart."
The review does not say how large future demand will be. Ontario has 7.93GW of non-hydro renewables either operating or under contract, and another 1.43GW of contracts still to be finalised under an agreement with a Samsung-led consortium. With only a limited amount of new capacity needed to hit 10.7GW, many in the industry had been hoping the review would recommend increasing the target. Instead it said the government should "review Ontario's electricity supply and demand forecast in 2013 to explore whether a higher renewables capacity target is warranted".
David Butters, president of the Association of Power Producers of Ontario, said the review takes a realistic approach to the current realities of the province's electricity system, which include constrained transmission, generation surpluses and flat demand.
"I think this a reasonable balance between what the government has articulated as a fundamental policy, the current demand and supply situation, and ratepayer interests," he said. "I think what it is trying to do is tie those three things together in a way that provides some kind of roadmap forward."

#1 Brazilian National Dish Feijoada - Say "feshwada"

The feijoada - pronounced "feshwada" .Its a black bean,pork,beef,pigs trotters the Brazilian
national dish.
This stuff is really heavy and should be eaten in moderation and make sure that you mash the frijoles negro or you will be sorry in the morning.
Here you can make it yourself !
Feijoada recipe, Eat brazilian!
The Brazilian Feijoada is the Brazil undisputed national dish. It is a recipe of beanstew with rice and porc meat. Different garniture is used in different parts of Brazil, but usually include farofa (mandioca, a root from the rainforest, mixed with maize flour and oil. Sometimes bacon )
Originally feijoada was made using every part of the pig, such as ears, tails, and nose floating among the beans. As this upsets tourists, a version of it is made especially with them in mind only using the fine meat parts of the pig.
The origin of the feijoada runs back to the sixteenth century with the introduction of slaves in Brazil. Slaves were used for many things, cotton production, cocoa production, rubber and with the goldrush boom for extraction of dimonds and mine digging.
The culinary culture of Africa was mixed with the European food traditions. The African slaves had the basic bean stew, the Portuguese added the linguiça (sausage), and the Indians added the farofa (toasted manioc flour). The result was a particularly "heavy" dish wich lasted long and gave the workers the energy they needed, the feijoada!
Today the feijoadas are widely famous in Brazil and most restaurants has a special day they serve this nutritious meal. Also outside of brazil the different feijoadas are receiving word as delicious recipes! And I must admit that I never miss a chance to get me a real traditional national dish of Brazil when Im out travelling.
The problem can be to find the right ingredients outside of Brazil. This is usually solved by exchanging the missing products with something similar.
Because of the heavy consistence of the famous beanstew recipe, Brazilians believe that drinking some caipirinha helps reduce the unhealthy effects. Otherwise, the recommended activity after this culinary treat is a nap =).
An ordinary family in Rio de Janeiro has feijoada at least once a month, aswell as for special occasions such as christmas food recipes, birthdays dinners or easter eating.
Included here is the recipe of of a traditional dinner for 10-15 people:
1 lb. black beans
1 lb. smoked ham hocks
1 of each: pork foot, ear, tail, tongue
1 lb. Mexican "chorizo," "pepperoni" or
Brazilian "linguica"
1/2 lb. Chunk of lean Canadian bacon or
Brazilian "carne seca"
1/2 lb. Smoked pork or beef ribs
3-4 strips of smoked bacon
1/2 lb. lean pork
1/2 lb. lean beef
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
salt to taste
black pepper
hot sauce (optional)
How to prepare feijoada:
Soak beans overnight in large container. Next morning, cook beans for 4-5 hours at low heat. Place ham hocks, chorizo, ribs and Canadian bacon in deep pan with plenty of water and bring to a boil. Change water and bring to a new boil, repeating the procedure at least three times to tenderize cured meats and remove excess fat.
In a large frying pan saut onion and garlic using either vegetable or olive oil (smoked bacon strips optional) for two or three minutes. Toss in cubed pork and beef. Saut an additional two-three minutes.
Mash 5-10 tablespoons of beans and add to large pot. The resulting paste will thicken sauce. Add two tablespoons of olive oil, three garlic cloves all chopped-up or mashed, along with a tablespoon of white vinegar and a teaspoon of red-hot pepper. Stir, heat over medium fire for two-three minutes, then transfer to contents of frying pan. (You may use two frying pans, if necessary)
Let simmer for l0-l5 minutes. Add contents of frying pan(s) to the beans and let boil at medium heat for 1-2 hours.
Serve over rice, with additional red-hot sauce, if desired.
Hey, thanks for this. I need more recipes for a crowd as football Sundays are coming up!

text: Before George Romero become the zombie master, he made a little film about germ warfare and mayhem called The Crazies. It's about a secret government weapon called Trixie, and now it's about to get a reboot. The remake was batted around over that last few years and passed off by director Brad Anderson. But now it's been been picked up by Breck Eisner and today Overture Films announced it would be backing the pic — whose themes fit nicely with today's bioterror fears.The 1973 Trixie is actually a nasty virus that accidentally gets unleashed on middle America. The virus makes people insane with rage and riots break out all over and the Army is called in, and that's when everything really goes to hell. Sounds very 28 Days Later. Overture CEO Chirs McGurk explained the reason that they were interested in this endeavor because they were looking for horror that was smart. The script was penned by Ray Wright and Scott Kosar and Romero will watch over as executive producer. [Variety]

Forms Jobs
Above: WSTV Digital Media staff working a camera during Maya Angelou's 80th Birthday celebration.
WSTV began cablecasting in Forsyth County on July 1, 1989. Initial funding for equipment came though a $250,0000 grant from Summit (now Time-Warner) cable.
The first major production was the coverage of the grand opening ceremonies for the city's Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in August of 1989. Live gavel-to-gavel coverage of Winston-Salem City Council Meetings began in May of 1991. County Commission Meetings were added in October of 1993.
With a staff of only two full-time employees, the channel was producing 32 hours of programming a month. In 2009, with three full-time employees and one part-time employee, WSTV produces over 200 hours of programming including satellite, training, tape-delayed, live studio, and remote productions.
In October of 2002, WSTV Digital Media moved into new facilities in the renovated Winston-Salem City Hall. Under the city's new franchise agreement with Time-Warner Cable, over $200,000 in new equipment was purchased to upgrade the facility.

Question: My husband and I will be traveling abroad for several weeks. We plan to pack lightly so that we do not have to check luggage. However, we will need more toiletries than we can carry on our planes so we are thinking about shipping them ahead. Can you give us any advice?
Patricia Koch
Long Beach
Answer: Because of the cost of luggage services, I would ordinarily recommend sending toiletries (which Koch said couldn't be bought at the destination) by a known entity, such as the U.S. Postal Service, UPS, FedEx and DHL.
Jami Counter, senior director of TripAdvisor Flights, agrees. "While the reliable tracking and door-to-door service are convenient benefits, shipping luggage usually comes at a premium. In most cases, shipping only makes economic sense if your baggage will be overweight or oversized and you have the time to ship via ground mail, the most affordable option."
Counter and I are on the same page — or were until these words stopped me dead in my tracks: used beehives, dried fruits and beauty products.
These are some of the items that customs prohibits (used beehives) or restricts (dried fruits, beauty products) for importation into Israel, Antigua and Barbuda, and Mexico, respectively, according to post office information on customs and shipping. Although I can't see myself shipping a hive, used or otherwise, to Israel, I wouldn't have given cosmetics/beauty products a second thought if I were shipping those items to Mexico. Koch isn't going to Mexico, but these prohibitions/restrictions were news to me — and indicative of what I don't know about the intricacies of shipping anywhere. (You can read a country-by-country breakdown from the postal service at https://www.lat.ms/VrvM7G
That's where a luggage shipping service may be worth the extra money. Part of its job is to identify these shipping land mines for customers and help them navigate.
"One advantage of a service like Luggage Forward is that we specialize in what can and can't be sent," said Zeke Adkins of Luggage Forward, which he and Aaron Kirley founded in 2005, just ahead of the ban on carrying on more than 3 ounces of liquids and gels for domestic flights. (In August 2006, British authorities said they had stopped a plot in which the perpetrators would blow up the U.S.-bound aircraft using carried-on liquid explosives.)
Adkins said most customers ship both toiletries and clothing to be rid of the whole burden of baggage. The service picks up at your door and delivers to wherever you're staying. (One other perk of using a service: You don't have to notify the hotel that something is arriving; Luggage Forward does it for you.)
For a 25-pound (or less) bag, the fee is $144 to Britain, Koch's destination, and $166 for the return.
If you mailed a package using the post office's Global Express and the box was at least 9 1/2 inches long and 5 /12 inches deep, and weighed less than 25 pounds, your tab, if you sent it from the post office, would be about $230 one way. (It would be about $28 less if you made arrangements online.) Global would get it there in one to three days. The price with Express Mail would drop to about $155 ($140 online) for three- to five-day delivery.
For a comparison chart of luggage services and shipping places, check out SeatGuru's chart from last summer (which means prices may have changed): https://www.lat.ms/VrGefp. Some airlines also are offering luggage shipping services.
How can you know whether the service is good? You can Google "luggage delivery service" and "forum" and find various threads about the topic, most of which I found more confusing than conclusive. Under the theory that the hallmark of a successful business these days is survival (attention, post office), look for one that's been around awhile. (Sports Express, for instance, which is owned by Luggage Forward and deals mostly with sporting equipment, has been in business since 1999 — and that's a long time in this sector.) Any service is a gamble, and sometimes in travel you hold your breath, take the plunge — and pack a Plan B. In your carry-on bag.
Have a travel dilemma? Write to email@example.com. We regret we cannot answer every query.

H&L thank you for your professionalism and expediency you made this process absolutely painless and I couldn't be more pleased. Also I just asked them to drop the tree and they dropped it cut up into firewood length pieces and drug all the limbs to the Woodline. H and L you are awesome."

Thursday 5 PM received a call back from Harvey and a time for him to check my tree on FRIDAY

Friday night--HORRIFIC storm knocked down the TREE!!!
SATURDAY AM--Harvey and crew were here and took every bit of that 100' ft pine tree and all for a very reasonable price...
I am very incredibly impressed with the whole episode--all of this in LESS THAN 40 HOURS--Thursday to Saturday!! AND he's a GODLY man!

Anonymous in Fayetteville, NC2019-05-06
★★★★★ - "I called him on the phone and they went to my house in Cordova, North Carolina to check out my tree for a free estimate and tell me what would be going on and what date we would set. They cut the tree down and got all the limbs out the way, and even got a few extra trees. They are courteous, very respectful, fast, and precise. In between the trees and my house were power lines and not one limb fell towards either way and they got it down in no time. I recommend H&H Tree Service and I give them the most highly respectable grading and it wouldn't be five it would be 10! I want to say thank you to all you guys for everything. If you need a tree cut call H&H Tree Service."

Protecting Seniors and their Families by Preserving Dignity, Quality of Life, and Financial Security.
We hired Evan Farr to create our entire set of estate documents. I would work with him again and can recommend him without reservation.
Evan Farr and his firm have been a godsend to my family. He was so easy to speak with about hard family topics.
My pension was not enough to cover my wife's nursing home expenses. If it weren't for the Medicaid [that the Farr Firm helped me qualify for] I don't know what would have happened.
Thanks to your firm, we still have our home, a few dollars still in the bank, and most importantly, my wife is able to be in our home with the help that she needs.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work and faithfulness! But most of all thank you for DEFENDING the elderly patients who can't speak for themselves!
You really "wowed" me with the amount of homework you had done prior to our first meeting and with every explanation and thorough and gentle guidance that you made during the entire process.
Evan Farr, is, in my view, one of Virginia's foremost authorities on the subject of elder law... Use his website - get educated - then call him!
First class counsel; very knowledgeable and knows his area. Likeable guy.

APG is now accepting presentation and workshop proposals for the 2015 APG Professional Management Conference. PMC classes and workshops should challenge professional genealogists to increase their genealogical research skills, evaluate their current business, and meet the demands of the twenty-first-century client. Classes will be one (1) hour in length; workshops two (2) hours.
Topics of Interest
Topics of Interest
Proposals should focus on topics relevant to professional genealogists, but they do not need to be specifically genealogical. Ideas to consider include, but are not limited to:

Almost all attendees offer genealogical-research services for clients, and a majority are also speakers/lecturers and writers/authors. Many hold or have held leadership positions in local societies and/or APG.
Successful proposals will recognize attendees' professionalism and accomplishments and seek to take their skills to the next level.
Submission Details
Classes and workshops must be new and original. Individuals submitting multiple proposals will be considered to teach multiple classes. Proposals from non-APG members will be considered as well.
Submit proposals via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com either in Microsoft Word or PDF format. Proposals are due by Saturday, 26 April 2014, and should include the following information:

ModBargains is
proud to offer you the newest design from forgestar, the CF5 Flow
Formed Wheel. The Forgestar CF5 Wheels like all Forgestar wheels are
completely custom made, allowing you to choose what size, fitment, and
finish you would like for your BMW. Being a flow formed wheel allows
the Forgestar CF5 to be extremely durable, while weighing up to
15% less than a cast wheel, without the price tag of a fully forged
Flow form casting
is a production method that turns the wheel over a special mandrel and
three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and
turning then forces the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating
the shape and width of the rim. During flow forming, the rim actually
"flows" down to create the full rim width. Pressure applied to the
wheel actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and
impact values become similar to those of a forged rim.
Please note the
Forgestar CF5 Wheels will require cone seat lug bolts so that the
wheels sit properly on the hub. We can provide these for you (see
attributes). The price above is for a set of 4 Forgestar CF5 Wheels!
Forgestar CF5 Wheels

What you need to know about the
Flow-Forming Procedure
Forgestar's flowforming process is a unique solution to a common problem
– how to make a wheel both light and strong.
specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses
a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer
portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the
rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The
combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with
the strength similar to a forged wheel. During Flow Forming, the
pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical
properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of
a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to
a standard cast wheel. The
resulting grain structure within the alloy of the wheel is linear,
flowing in a single direction.
This grain structure pattern, combined with the exceptional quality of
casting required for the process, gives the rim area of the wheel huge
mechanical strength, and elongation. As a result of these mechanical
characteristics, Forgestar is able to reduce the thickness of the rim
area resulting in reduced weight, without compromising strength and
resistance to impact.
So in a nutshell, the process makes the
Almost as strong as forged wheels
Lighter than cast wheels
Customizable to a range of offsets and
bolt patterns
A great value for the price
Pictures of the Flow-Forming Process:
Forgestar has
long been an advocate for wheel durability testing. They strongly
believe that any issue regarding consumer safety is an important one.
They want every customer contemplating the purchase of Forgestar wheels
to know that it has been carefully engineered by the Forgestar team and
thoroughly tested by independent third-party testing laboratories.
Actual test
reports from independent third-party test laboratories, such as
Standards Testing Labs
(STL), have been provided by Forgestar.
The most common
test standards used are those published by SAE (J2530) and TUEV
Rheinland (Germany). PDF files of these actual test reports are provided
below as well as an explanation of how the tests are performed and what
the results mean to you as a consumer.
They send every
width in each wheel design family with the offset configuration that
presents the greatest testing challenge and subject it to the equivalent
of a full product lifetime of stress in a third-party laboratory. In
this way, it is ensured that the recommended wheel fitment is safe at
maximum rated load.

New Car Technology To Help Teens Drive More Safely
I spent the last two days at Ford's headquarters getting a look at the future of car technology and lots of details about how this old-school automotive company has been reinventing itself as a technology and environmental leader. I had no idea! A lot has changed since the last time I drove a Ford. Did you know, for example, that not only is the 2013 Ford Fusion available as a gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions, it is made from (among other things) recycled jeans and plastic and soy beans? Or that it will take over parallel parking for you? And it's good at it. I saw this technology in action. It was able to fit the car into a not-so-big space while the driver twiddled her thumbs. She got out and took all the credit for the skilled parking job.
Even cooler are some of the technologies that are coming in the future. I watched a demo of a car that could sense when the driver is stressed by reading biometric sensors in the steering wheel. The idea is that future cars could use this information to decide to turn on lane guides in case the stress is caused by low visibility, or wait to read your text messages aloud (another coming—soon feature) until you are less distracted.
But the feature that is making me rethink my decision to give my newly minted teen driver access only to our ancient mini-van is the MyKey system. The MyKey systems programs parental controls into the key you give your teen. (When you drive with your own key, they don't apply.) You can set a speed limit, stop the radio from playing till he buckles his seat belt, and even block inappropriate satellite radio stations from playing. Coming soon is a Do Not Disturb feature that mutes his cell phone–holding text messages and sending calls to voicemail–while he's driving. My son could probably hack that if he wanted to because it uses Bluetooth. But I think he would welcome it. He is easily distracted by his phone. But he's not happy about it. I'm pretty sure he wishes he was self-disciplined enough to ignore the phone while he's driving--even when it's his BFF calling. And I know I'd like him to live long enough to develop that sort of self control.
Here's a video on the MyKey that explains it more completely.
Stay tuned (here and on my other blog GeekGirlfriends.com) for more info on my intense 48 hours in Detroit.

Unfortunately, once the package leaves our hands, it goes through MANY different stations and every now and then things can shift, causing an unfortunate breakage. If this happens to you, please do NOT discard the damaged product(s) and keep the original box and packaging, because this is often required by UPS/USPS. Contact us immediately so we can give you further instructions, at 1-719-598-9761.
Please contact us at 1-719-598-9761 and we will take care of the problem as soon as possible during normal working hours 9am-5pm MST M-F.
