Target CO2
What is the long term sensitivity to increasing CO2? What, indeed, does long term sensitivity even mean? Jim Hansen and some colleagues (not including me) have a preprint available that claims that it is around 6ºC based on paleo-climate evidence. Since that is significantly larger than the 'standard' climate sensitivity we've often talked about, it's worth looking at in more detail.
We need to start with some definitions. Sensitivity is defined as the global mean surface temperature anomaly response to a doubling of CO2 with other boundary conditions staying the same. However, depending on what the boundary conditions include, you can get very different numbers. The standard definition (sometimes called the Charney sensitivity), assumes the land surface, ice sheets and atmospheric composition (chemistry and aerosols) stay the same. Hansen's long term sensitivity (which might be better described as the Earth System sensitivity) allows all of these to vary and feed back on the temperature response. Indeed, one can imagine a whole range of different sensitivities that could be clearly defined by successively including additional feedbacks. The reason why the Earth System sensitivity might be more appropriate is because that determines the eventual consequences of any particular CO2 stabilization scenario.
Traditionally, the decision to include or exclude a feedback from consideration has been based on the relevant timescales and complexity. The faster a feedback is, the more usual it is to include. Thus, changes in clouds (~hours) or in water vapour (~10 days) are undoubtedly fast and get included as feedbacks in all definitions of the sensitivity. But changes in vegetation (decades to centuries) or in ice sheets (decades(?) to centuries to millennia) are slower and are usually left out. But there are other fast feedbacks that don't get included in the standard definition for complexity reasons – such as the change in ozone or aerosols (dust and sulphates for instance) which are also affected by patterns of rainfall, water vapour, temperature, soli moisture, transport and clouds (etc.).
Not coincidentally, the Charney sensitivity corresponds exactly to the sensitivity one gets with a standard atmospheric GCM with a simple mixed-layer ocean, while the Earth System sensitivity would correspond to the response in a (as yet non-existent) model that included interactive components for the cryosphere, biosphere, ocean, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols. Intermediate sensitivities could however be assessed using the Earth System models that we do have.
In principal, many of these sensitivities can be deduced from paleo-climate records. What is required is a good enough estimate of the global temperature change and measures of the various forcings. However, there are a few twists in the tale. Firstly, getting 'good enough' estimates for global temperatures changes is hard – this has been done well for the last century or so, reasonably for a few centuries earlier, and potentially well enough for the really big changes associated with the glacial-interglacial cycle. While sufficient accuracy in the last few centuries is a couple of tenths of a degree, this is unobtainable for the last glacial maximum or the Pliocene (3 million years ago). However, since the signal is much larger in the earlier periods (many degrees), the signal to noise ratio is similar.

Pexton: 'Shortsighted' to cut ombudsman
Last week, Washington Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt told us the paper might be cutting the ombudsman position upon Patrick Pexton's departure at the end of this month. Today, Pexton weighs in, writing that the decison to "end nearly 43 years of this publication having enough courage and confidence to employ a full-time reader representative and critic" is a "shortsighted move."

Joey Pascarella - Ready to Start 2013!
NEWS March 5, 2013
Over the past month a lot has been going on. I flew to Riders Discount in Holland, Michigan to meet up with everyone and pick up a lovely Triumph 675. From there I drove all the way back to Las Vegas, Nevada to race the second round of Wera west and get used to the bike. Needless to say I had a great weekend and had so much fun on the Triumph and was a great boost of confidence knowing I enjoyed the bike. Afterwards, I went home and back to the daily grind of work and training for a couple weeks. Recently this week I had to do the great long drive again back to Riders Discount. I made it finally and it is great to be back at the shop watching my beautiful Riders Discount Triumph 675 R being built and seeing everyone that I will be working with for 2013. So right now i am sitting in RD kicking back relaxed writing this blog realizing how lucky I am to have such a great group of people behind me and how excited I am to get racing.

Dig These Discs :: Conor Maynard, Girls, Yo La Tengo, Emmy Rossum, 2013 Grammy Nominees
Get ready for big love! The HBO Original Series "Girls" releases 18 songs from their first season, and the 2013 Grammy nominees wrap up the best singles of the year into a tidy package. Emmy Rossum sets the calendar to song in her "Sentimental Journey" and Yo La Tengo delivers their trademark, low-key sounds. Newcomer Conor Maynard is a little man making a big splash. Shake off the chill, it's time to Dig These Discs!
"Girls Soundtrack Volume 1: Music From The HBO Original Series" (Assorted)
Lena Dunham's HBO original series about four girls living in Brooklyn is a hit, and the recent Golden Globe wins have made it the talk of the town -- no matter what town you may live in. This new collection of music from the series should prove to go over equally big. Featuring 18 songs from beloved indie bands, many of them also hailing from New York City, the release showcases the songs heard on the show, including Santigold's "Girls," an MIA-esque track that has her spitting, "I'm the cat's meow, I'm not afraid of y'all." "Music is such a huge part of my creative process," explains "Girls" creator Lena Dunham. "I make playlists to write by and listen to as I head to the set in the morning, and I experiment in editing with songs that the characters would love and that accurately reflect their struggles." The collection starts with a bang, with Robyn's bad-ass screed, "Dancing on My Own." The longing is palpable as she sings, "I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohhh. I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohhh?" She captures the vibe of New York's Meatpacking District as she sings of stilettos and broken glass, and the angst of vulnerable twenty-somethings. The album is divided into hard-rocking songs like this, and sunny (or gloomy) New Folk tracks. Brooklyn transplants via Sweden Icona Pop sings their catchy, "I Love It," and White Sea bops around with "Overdrawn." OhLand rocks the shit out of her "White Nights," further cementing her growing brand identity, and The Vaccine's "Wreckin' Bar (Ra Ra Ra)" is a post-punk, three-chord delight. Grouplove's "Everyone's Gonna Get High" is a nihilistic downer, and to a lesser extent, so is Belle & Sebastian's "I Don't Love Anyone," with the rejection of all things sweet, even Christmas -- except "maybe my sister/ maybe my baby brother too," singing, "if there's one thing I learned as a child it's to be alone." Lia Ices' spare, piano-led "Love is Won" is another love song that leaves you cold inside, like a slightly less maudlin Sarah McLaughlin cover. Cue the dying puppies. "I haven't changed a bit...I make the same mistakes," sing The Echo-Friendly in the thrumming bummer "Same Mistakes." On the more New Folk side of the equation, Fleet Foxes "Montezuma" has a nice choral arrangement and is threaded with lyrics of sincere regret, singing, "Gold teeth and gold jewelry, every piece of your dowry, throw them into the tomb with me, bury them with my name." Michael Penn's "On Your Way" is slow but upbeat, and fun thrills with "Sight of the Sun," singing "For once, there is nothing up my sleeve, just some scars from a life that used to trouble me. I used to run at the sight of the sun, now I lay here waiting for you to wake up." It gives the good feeling of an old Cat Stevens' song, without the Muslim conversion. And Harper Simon's "Wishes and Stars" is folky and endearing. The album also features a number of bonus tracks, among them Tegan & Sara's superlative, gender-bending cover of the Rolling Stones' "Fool to Cry," Sleigh Bells Bikini-Kill-esque electro ditty "Infinity Guitars," The Troggs "With a Girl Like You" and Generationals' "Yours Forever," which could be the soundtrack for today's disaffected youth. Season Two started on Jan. 13 (the same night Dunham et. al. scooped up their Golden Globes), and your iPod, like your DVR, is hungry for more of Dunham's magic. Even boys will love these "Girls."

"Sentimental Journey" (Emmy Rossum)
She may be a pretty young thing, but artist Emmy Rossum tackles the music of the '20s-'60s in her new album, "Sentimental Journey." Rossum has said this is the music she grew up with at home. The 'journey' in question is a temporal one, as her idea was to take listeners on a trek through the 12 months of the year, with a song "either lyrically or emotionally reflecting the corresponding month." She starts with the title track by Les Brown, Ben Homer and Arthur Green, and sung famously by Doris Day. The songs suits Day to such a tee, it's hard for Rossum to emerge from the shadow. Ditto for the aw-shucks vibe of March's "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover," by Mort Dixon and Harry M. Woods. She does better with her choice for April, the '30s standard "These Foolish Things," which has been recorded by everyone from Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby to Michael Bublé. She croons over tinkling piano keys in this song by Eric Maschwitz and Jack Strachey. Rossum doesn't have the scratchy-voiced yearning Billie Holiday brings to the song, nor the belt-it-out moxie of Ella Fitzgerald, but she serves it well. She stumbles with the Andrews Sisters 1941 hit, "I'll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time," which represents May in her timeline. The song is sticky-sweet, and cloys the palate. Other tracks include her cover of Frank Sinatra's 1966 hit "Summer Wind," her June selection, a real crooner that suits her range well. It is followed by "Many Tears Ago," a rollicking tune that sounds too light and feminine when set next to Old Blue Eyes' tune bemoaning the summer wind whisking away a lover's heart. She closes out summer with "All I Do Is Dream of You" by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, giving a shout-out to all four seasons in a slow kiss goodnight. Less literally, September's cold creep is embodied by "Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out)." She finds her own voice on this track, singing about the days of taking her friends out for whiskey, wine and champagne, in the face of newfound poverty and friendlessness. October is time for "Autumn Leaves," with a beautiful French interlude, Bobby Darin's "Things" rep for November and Willie Nelson's "Pretty Paper" serves for December. The album was cobbled together by producer Stuart Brawley, who also co-wrote and produced her 2006 album "Inside Out." To capture that old-timey feel, Brawley had artists record together on a vintage mike at The Village in L.A., and then mastered it to tape. If you like Rossum's music, catch her on Showtime's "Shameless," or in the new movie "Beautiful Creatures" with Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons. Rossum is determined to create, saying, "Whenever I have an artistic compulsion, I follow it."

"2013 Grammy Nominees" (Assorted)
I'd like to thank the Academy...for rounding up the 22 best singles of the year, for the "2013 Grammy Nominees" album. Whether you are sick of them or can't get enough, expect to hear singles by Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Pink, stalwarts like Maroon 5, Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen, and newcomers like Gotye and breakout artist Carly Rae Jepsen. The Black Keys tear it up with electric guitars and pounding drums in "Lonely Boy," singing, "I've got a love that keeps me waiting." "American Idol" spawn Kelly Clarkson keeps proving she's no flash in the pan with "Stronger" and Adele wipes the floor with "Set Fire to the Rain Live at Royal Albert Hall." Taylor Swift's banal but catchy, "We Are Never Getting Back Together" is among the top picks, along with Perry's "Wide Awake," Coldplay's "Charlie Brown" and Matchbox 20's "Payphone." Florence + The Machine make the cut with their "Shake It Out," another winner by this coppertop chanteuse. And The Boss scores with his "We Take Care of Our Own," played throughout President Barack Obama's 2012 Presidential Campaign, and nominated for two Grammy Awards. A lot of previously unknown artists also made a big splash this year, including Gotye, with his spare, almost geometric break-up song, "Somebody," with the "you didn't have to stoop so low, have your friends collect your records and then change your number, guess that I don't need that though, now you're just somebody that I used to know." The band fun. churned out the youth anthem of our time, with the hodge-podge of fast and slow that is "We Are Young," singing of his friends in the bathroom, "getting higher than the Empire State." And Carly Rae Jepsen's creeper hit "Call Me Maybe" is on the list, "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but here's my number so call me, maybe." Miguel's sexy, '80s-style "Adorn" is on the list. Frank Ocean also rides this vibe with "Pyramids," a song about dating a stripper at the Pyramid Club. And after working with all the best artists in the industry, Ed Sheeren gets some recognition for his "The A Team," singing, "They say she's in the class-A team, stuck in her daydream been this way since 18 but lately her face seems slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries." His voice lilts beautifully as he sings, "it's too cold outside for angels to fly." And Hunter Hayes shows his vocal skills in "Wanted," a slow, straightforward love song with a country twang. An unexpected but welcome addition is the Lumineers' "Ho Hey," a slow rocker about a match set. The Alabama Shakes roll out the bluegrass welcome mat in their "Hold On," which brings to mind old Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Mumford and Sons lightning-fast acoustics bolster the resurgence of this vibe. Jack White brings the drum cacophony in "Freedom at 21," and Muse mashes up the electro-pop in "Madness." With so many hats in the ring, the 2013 Grammy Awards, to be held on Feb. 10 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, is sure to be a thrill. Let's just hope no one pulls a Kanye.

What advantage does a bigger mig welder have with higher voltage? I understand the longer duty cycle part, just wondering if the voltage makes a difference?
I've always stick welded in the past, so setting a voltage and wire speed is new to me. Setting a current like for stick welding is all I'm familiar with.
Comparing the output graph of volt/amp chart on the millermatic 211 (~ 21V @ 200Amps) versus the millermatic 212 (22V @ 210Amps) versus the millermatic 252 (28V @ 200Amps), what is the advantage of having a higher voltage at the same current?
Is the higher voltage simply needed to run thicker wire at the same current as the next thinner wire? If so is there a recommended voltage range for various current levels on different wire thicknesses?

Simply put, the higher voltage at the same amperage, around 200 amps in this case, translates into more output power or a higher energy arc. Higher energy arc translates into the potential to produce a deeper penetrating weld- less chance of cold lap or lack of fusion to the root.
Also, with the correct gas mix the higher voltage will allow you to use spray arc transfer. 21 or 22 volts isn't going to produce a spray transfer arc, you need a minimum of 24-25 volts, and the correct gas mix for this voltage range. 98 AR/2 Oxy would be the correct mix.

To put it in simple terms the more volts means a hotter weld with mig like more amps means a hotter weld for stick. You can run larger dia. wire just like you would use a larger dia. stick electrode.
Many other factors go into it but that is the basic version.MM250

I wonder then why the 211 doesn't indicate the voltage for different welding material thicknesses to compare it to larger welders. Instead they just have there 1..2...3.....10 dial for different thicknesses. I understand the 1-10 is to make it easier for beginners, but what is the difference in setting to a number 1-10 versus a voltage number. Don't think it would be that difficult for a beginner and it would make it easier to tell if the welder wasn't able to handle a certain process if it didn't have high enough voltage.
Bottom line I'm taking off work tomorrow to go buy a new Miller Mig and want to make sure I'm not buying too small of a machine to handle 1/4" to 1/4" T-joint and butt weld joints.
I'm talking welds that I can then take a sledge hammer to and bend the material completely over the weld for testing and the weld NOT break at all.
Can the 211 do those kinds of quality welds?
Looking at the specs on the manual here:
Page 28 and 29 is the settings chart.
I'm looking at using C25 gas with solid ER70S-6 wire and .035" wire.
So the chart shows 1/4" at dial #6, but it makes it seem 1/4" is easily within the range of the welder. I find it interesting that they do not increase the voltage dial for the thicker wire?
When welding with thicker stick electrodes, a higher current is needed to run the thicker rod properly. Would then a higher voltage setting not be required to run .035 wire versus .030 wire? On the chart they just have both at #6 for 1/4" and the only thing that changes is the feed rate slows down on the thicker wire which is expected since it is depositing more material at once.

You are over complicating this. Look at the manufactures weld output, and thickness range of metals. The comparable number relative to energy output is the rated output amps. If you are wondering what machine to purchase to do 1/4 steel, anything in the miller line from the mm 180 up will handle it with no problem. Obviously you go with larger welders they will have more horsepower and duty cycle. On little mig machines there is no need for actual voltage and wire speed settings, you just get the feel for where you should start your settings and adjust it in from there after some test welds.
Thicker metals conduct heat away from the welding zone so you need more heat and power to get proper penetration. I buy at least one size bigger than I need just incase the metal I weld on is different in quality/metallurgy then the company used for testing. Riding the edge of performance "for me" especially when I'm doing a structural weld adds a bit anxiety and doubt. I've had good looking short circuit Mig welds not even leave a mark on the other 3/16 steel. Why it happened I believe is because I polished the steel to the point it looked like chrome, causing the heat to reflect off of the steel or I hardened the surface of the steel by polishing it. But the incident was eye opening and a good lesson in having enough heat and penetration to do the job.

Good to go on a MM 211 for 1/4" and thinner steel.
On a unit like the MM 211, the output load voltage for a voltage dial setting is going to vary when you make changes to the wire speed dial.
This might help
The wire feed speed is in direct relation to the amperage at a given wire stickout (length of wire from the contact tip to the arc). The voltage is in the case of a CV (wire welder) the constant and is the length of the arc from the end of the wire to the weld pool, as you change the wire stick out the amperage changes to maintain the weld voltage. A normal wire stick out for short circuit mig welding is 1/4".
The following example may help you understand this with .035 ER70S-6 wire and C25 shield gas set at 20 SCFH flow.
1/4" wire stickout, volts 17 and wire feed speed 150 IPM = 100 amps
3/8" wire stickout, volts 17 and wire feed speed 150 IPM = 50-60 amps due to the resistive heating of the wire between the tip and the arc the weld current drops to the level required to maintain the set voltage.
If you were to reduce the stickout to 1/8" the weld current would increase to approximatly 150 amps to maintain the set voltage.
Typical min and max ranges of each wire diameter for ER70S-6
.024 minimum 30A 15V 105 IPM WFS, maximum 150A 21V 710 IPM WFS
optimum vert. setting 80A 18V 310 IPM WFS
optimum horiz. setting 110A 21V 465 IPM WFS
.030 minimum 50A 17V 95 IPM WFS, maximum 200A 23V 600 IPM WFS
optimum vert. setting 100A 18V 235 IPM WFS
optimum horiz. setting 150A 20V 385 IPM WFS
.035 minimum 50A 18V 75 IPM WFS, maximum 225A 25V 500 IPM WFS
optimum vert. setting 150A 18V 185 IPM WFS
optimum horiz. setting 215A 22V 415 IPM WFS
I hope this helps more than confuses you.

Magnesium and calcium are fundamental nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for you to fully experience good health. Their importance on a cellular level is critical. Calcium and magnesium are like opposite sides of a coin. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting, but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely.
Calcium & Magnesium: A Matter of Balance
You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe.
When we are under stress, our cells-which in their resting state contain magnesium-go through a change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state. Think of it as an on-off switch. The "off" is magnesium and the "on" is calcium.
But what happens to a cell that is not in balance-where the magnesium level in the body is deficient?
In simple terms, the "off" switch doesn't fully turn off. That means calcium can continuously leak into the cells and stimulate cell activity (the "on" switch). The result is stress accompanied by one or more of the magnesium deficiency symptoms.
Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It's easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.
Calcium-Too Much of a Good Thing?
Calcium deficiency can be a serious issue. It is an important nutrient your body needs every day, but too much calcium can also be a problem.
The recommended adequate intake of calcium according to the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, is 1,000 mg for adults aged 19-50 and 1,200 mg for 51 plus. There are many adults who are taking 1,200-1,500 mg of supplemental calcium in addition to their dietary intake of calcium (an 8 oz cup of low-fat fruit yogurt contains 345 mg of calcium and one cup of nonfat milk contains 306 mg). Unassimilated calcium can end up in the soft tissues of the body where it deposits and hardens (calcifies) or in the urine where it may result in kidney stones.
Unless calcium and magnesium are properly balanced, magnesium becomes depleted (too much calcium can itself deplete magnesium levels). This can result in an inability to quickly recover from stress and can itself be a source of stress.
Do You Have a Healthy Magnesium Level?
Most people don't get enough magnesium, including many who already take magnesium. There are two reasons for this: the amount of magnesium required by the body is greater than people think and many magnesium capsules and tablets are not completely absorbed by the body.
Magnesium deficiency can be caused by a number of stresses on the body, including-but not limited to-lack of adequate dietary magnesium, emotional stress, some drugs (diuretics, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, insulin, cortisone), heavy exercise, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders and too much calcium in the diet.

Millions of Americans—including me—are hard at work canning, freezing, drying, pickling, and fermenting the abundance of late summer fruits and vegetables from our home gardens and local farms.
Surveys show a huge resurgence of interest in home gardening and buying direct from growers at farmers' markets, pick-your-own operations, community-supported agriculture enterprises, and farmstands.
Besides a belief that home-grown and locally grown food has more flavor and nutrition, saves money, and supports their local economy, people cite as one big reason for buying local the alarming reports of massive food recalls due to bacterial contamination. They believe that knowing where their food comes from helps ensure its safety.
Foodborne illness: scary statistics
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick from something they ate; 128,000 of them end up in the hospital, and 3,000 die.
But please don't assume that knowing the farmer who produced your food, or growing and preserving your own fruits and vegetables offers a guarantee that your food is safe.
The only way to ensure safe food: follow to the letter the most up-to-date, tested, science-based methods for safe food handling, processing, and preparation. You'll find comprehensive food-preserving information online at the National Center for Home Food Preservation, based at the University of Georgia.
The Center reports that a national survey conducted in 2000 revealed that a high percentage of home food processors use practices that put them at high risk for foodborne illness and economic losses due to food spoilage.
Stick to current methods and recipes
Let go of that cherished family recipe for water-bath canned mincemeat. Don't use the books and recipes you've relied on since the 1970s. Even books from a few years ago may contain information that won't pass muster by today's food-safety standards.
For example, tomatoes were always considered acidic enough (pH below 4.6) to process safely in a boiling-water bath. But a few years ago, researchers found that many of the varieties they tested, including some old favorites, weren't acidic enough for safe water-bath canning and began recommending that home processors either can tomatoes in a pressure cooker or add bottled lemon juice, powdered citric acid, or vinegar to each jar of tomato product before processing.
Whether you're taking to the canning kettle, the food dehydrator, or the big freezer for the first time or consider yourself a seasoned vet, make your big effort pay off as you package up the flavors of summer. Keep it from spoiling and keep it safe.

PFC in outdoor products
At ARC'TERYX our manufacturing philosophy blends highly skilled craftsmanship with innovative technology and design practices to create products that provide the best possible protection. We are confident in the safety of these garments and their ability to allow our community to reach their highest performance.
The values that pertain to our research and design philosophy are applied across all avenues of our business. We strive to adhere to the highest standards of consumer, environmental and work safety.
The recently launched Greenpeace Detox Campaign is aimed at working to eliminate harmful chemicals such as PFC's from the textile production process. PFC's – or perfluorinated chemicals - are a broad class of chemicals used in a wide variety of applications. Certain formulations are used throughout the outdoor industry as treatments for textiles to enhance water, oil and stain repellency - commonly known as Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatments.
DWR treatments have long been known for their advanced performance in this area but concerns have recently been raised about the possible discharge of PFC's, specifically substances referred to as PFOA and PFOS, because of their persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic properties.
Arc'teryx products are made to exacting specifications for use in the harshest conditions and environments. They are used by some of the most elite athletes and military personnel in the world and are trusted to always perform at the point of utmost need.
To achieve this high standard, we work very closely with our textile manufacturers on all levels of research and development. This includes searching for alternative DWR treatments that will withstand the harsh demands of our athletes while leaving little or no trace on the environment that we respect and play in.
Back in 2006 the US EPA and eight major chemical companies launched the PFOA Stewardship Program agreeing to voluntarily phase out C8 based PFOA DWR chemistry by 2015.
For several years now our industry and its suppliers have been engaged in removing C8 DWR from the supply chain in time for the 2015 target date. In fact most of the major outdoor textile companies that Arc'teryx works with are already very close to achieving this goal now.
We welcome the Greenpeace Detox Campaign and its initiatives in the textile industry. Arc'teryx continues to be an active member of the OIA Sustainability Working group in its work on the responsible use of chemicals and will continue to push our partners as well as our own boundaries to achieve the highest standards in outdoor apparel across the board.

Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Chocolate
Hachez Chocolate
Page 1: The Hachez Style
The reason Hachez bars have mild flavors and such superior texture is simple: The recipe contains more cocoa butter. A typical Hachez bar contains 5g more cocoa butter per serving than other brands (the norm is 17g). More cocoa butter, however, means less room for cocoa particles,* and because Hachez has already adjusted for the sugar, the finished bar will taste mild, yet melt superbly on the tongue. That's why people who never venture beyond 70% can enjoy the 77% and 88% bars without trepidation.
*Cocoa mass, and therefore cocoa content, can be separated into two components: cocoa butter and cocoa particles. Cocoa particles are what's separated from the butter in a press to produce cocoa powder. This is actually what gives chocolate its flavor. A chocolate bar's cocoa content actually refers to its combined weight of cocoa butter and cocoa particles since stricter regulations do not exist to further break down the ratio.
|Hachez's Wild Cocoa de Amazonas 45% milk chocolate: ultra-creamy.
In sum, Hachez is a style unlike any other. Sure, there are plenty of chocolate bars from other makers that are shot full of cocoa butter, but they usually lack complexity of flavor. Even if a Hachez bar is mild, it still delivers a boat load of complexity that is noticeably present (though it always rides backseat to the texture). In other words, Hachez has found a delicate balance between bean and butter, and consistently produces flavor time and time again.
Is Hachez your bar?

By Marcus Pfister
A beautiful, conceited fish lives in the deep part of the ocean. His scales sparkle and shine as he swims through the ocean - alone. The other fish attempt to befriend him, but he ignores them until one day when a small blue fish approaches him. The small blue fish tells the Rainbow Fish how beautiful his scales are, and asks for one of them. Horrified, the Rainbow Fish refuses and swims on, puzzling aloud over his loneliness.
A crab directs him to an octopus, whose advice is simple: give away his scales to the other fish and he will be happy. After some thought, and a second request from the small blue fish, the Rainbow Fish takes the octopus's advice and finds friendship and happiness. This is a great book for children to learn about the importance of sharing.

Appreciated Gift! I gave the 16-oz cherry-design glasses as a birthday gift to one of my daughters. She's pleased to have "glasses" that really keep liquids cold for a long time -- we tested them! They're good for outside parties in warm weather. I was drawn to the beautiful cherries but wouldn't have paid any attention to the plain clear glasses. The cherries remind me of dishes and perhaps wallpaper from my 1940s childhood. We both agreed that the larger size (24-oz?) would be bigger than needed. Also, I was just able to wrap my rather large hand comfortably around the 16-oz size. Thanks for another nice product, and one made in the U.S.A. July 30, 2013

Synergy Motorsport driver Mathew Hart has claimed pole position for the opening race of this year's Australian Formula Ford Championship at the 2012 Formula 1 QANTAS Australian Grand Prix.
Hart, who finished as the top rookie in the 2011 championship, led a Synergy 1-2 in the session, edging out team-mate Liam Sager by just .0176 of a second. Shae Davies will start third on the grid, ahead of Garry Jacobson, Jonathon Venter and CAMS Rising Star Jack LeBrocq, who set the pace in this morning's 30-minute practice session.
"I can't believe it," Hart, who was second in practice, enthused.
"We made a couple of changes before qualifying and it worked extremely well, I couldn't fault the car one bit. With my team-mate and me on the front row, it's an awesome feeling – I can't wait for Race 1 tomorrow."
Like many of the young drivers in this weekend's field, Hart is racing at Albert Park for the first time, having been a member of a pit crew in Formula Ford's last appearance in 2010. After his first day on track, he's impressed.
"I love the track. It's definitely one of my favourites now," the 17-year-old said.
"The layout's awesome, with the layout of the corners and the fine details of the track; you see each ripple strip with its own characteristics. It's a world-class facility and there's a great atmosphere."
The Formula Ford field will return to the track at 3:25pm tomorrow, Friday, for the first of three eight-lap races.

CCSF Shared Governance System
In September of 1993, the Board of Trustees of the San Francisco Community College District established the City College of San Francisco Shared Governance System, in accordance with Assembly Bill 1725 (AB 1725). The CCSF Shared Governance organization consists of three systems, each with a set of permanent committees. All members of the City College community - students, faculty, classified and administrators - are represented in these committees. The committees may establiish sub-committees and task forces, wherever needed and appropriate.
Collegial Governance System
Four main committees address issues related to academic policies, student preparation and success, curriculum and staff development. All recommendations from these committees go to the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs and the Executive Council of the Academic Senate for review and approval before going to the Chancellor and ultimately to the Board.
College Advisory Governance System
Policies and recommendations from the committees in this system go to the College Advisory Council comprised of senior administrators and representatives from the major student, faculty and classified organizations. The recommendations are advisory to the Chancellor and the Board.
Budget and Planning Governance System
The main committee in this system is the Planning and Budget Council. All recommendations are advisory to the Chancelllor and the Board.
Appointments to the committees, subcommittees and task forces are made by the appropriate appointing body of the four constituent groups:
- Administrators
- Classified
- Faculty
- Students
Over 400 members of the college constituent groups participated in the work of the CCSF Shared Governance System.

French-style macaroons from France's great chocolatier and patissier, François Pralus.
December 2006
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Cookies
The History Of Macaroons
Created By Italian Monks, Refined By French Pâtissiers
Page 1: The Original Macaroons
The first macaroons were almond meringue cookies similar to today's amaretti, with a crisp crust and a soft interior. They were made from egg whites and almond paste (a combination of equal parts of ground blanched almonds and sugar, mixed with egg whites—today glucose or corn syrup can be substituted). The name of the cookie comes from the Italian word for paste, maccarone (mah-kah-ROW-nay), and is also the word for pasta/macaroni and dumplings.
While origins can be murky, some culinary historians claim that that macaroons can be traced to an Italian monastery—where they were modeled after the monks' belly buttons!
The name derives from the Italian maccarone or maccherone, itself derived from ammaccare, meaning to crush or to beat. The reference is to the crushed almonds or almond paste, which is the principal ingredient.
Macaroons came to France in 1533 with the pastry chefs of Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henri II. Two Benedictine nuns, Sister Marguerite and Sister Marie-Elisabeth, seeking asylum in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution (1789-1799), paid for their housing by baking and selling the macaroon cookies, and thus became known as the "Macaroon Sisters" (the French word is macaron, pronounced mah-kah-RONE).
You'll learn the difference between amaretti and French macarons on the next page.
Italian Jews adopted the cookie because it has no flour or leavening (the agent that raises and lightens a baked good, like yeast, baking powder and baking soda—instead, macaroons are leavened by egg whites) and can be enjoyed during the eight-day observation of Passover. It was introduced to other European Jews and became popular as a year-round sweet.
Over time, coconut was added to the ground almonds and, in certain recipes, replaced them.
These coconut macaroons were made from a mix from Prepared Pantry.
Coconut macaroons are more prevalent in the U.S. and the U.K.—and they're a lot easier to make and transport than the fragile almond meringues.

Judged the best! Cadillac LaSalle 1st place winner CCCA Junior and Senior winner. The LaSalle was sold as a companion marque to Cadillac from 1927 to 1940. The two were linked by similarly-themed names, both being named for explorers. Alfred Sloan surmised that the best way to increase market share was to develop 'companion" marques that could be sold through existing sales networks. Under the plan, Cadillac, which had seen it base prices soar in the heady 1920s, was assigned LaSalle as a companion car to fill the gap that existed between itself and Buick. What emerged as the LaSalle in 1927 is widely regarded as the beginning of modern automotive styling, and its designer, Harley Earl. Prior to the LaSalle, design changes were determined by engineering needs. Earl, who had been hired by Cadillac General Manager Lawrence P. Fisher, conceived the LaSalle not as a junior Cadillac, but as something more agile and stylish. Influenced by the rakish Hispano-Suiza roadsters, Earl's LaSalle emerged as an elegant counterpoint to Cadillac's larger cars, and unlike anything else built by an American automotive manufacturer. Built to Cadillac's high standards, the LaSalle soon emerged as a trend-setting automobile within GM, and Earl was eventually placed in charge of overseeing the design of all GM vehicles. This exceptional car was the subject of a comprehensive nut and bolt restoration in the early 90's, has been properly stored since, and the vehicle still presents as a freshly restored car. Having recently garnered a Senior first place award in CCCA judging and a national first in Cadillac LaSalle club competition, the car has passed muster by the most discriminating judges in the world with flying colors. The beautiful lines of the car are complemented by the dual sidemounted spares with chrome mirrors, matching trunk and trunk rack, a chrome grille guard, and painted wire wheels with chrome center caps. Inside the roomy interior, all fabrics and carpets are excellent, and the elegant dashboard is outstanding with a functioning clock and a full complement of gauges. The engine bay presents the early v8 very nicely, and the car runs and drives superbly and is capable of long distance touring with no additional sorting. In 1930, LaSalle was actually outselling Cadillac, and it's no wonder why when you look closely at this fine example. Youtube video available upon request.

Klamath falls, Ore. -- Construction crews are preparing the old 'Gottschalks' store in Klamath Falls for a new tenant.
The Gottschalks building will soon be home to a new store.
But until papers are signed, Trey Senn of the Klamath County Economic Development Association says the name of the business will remain a mystery...
"Mum's the word until maybe a week or two. Hopefully we'll get a signature and can be more public about it, and say who's coming in - because I think the public will be very pleased."
The building has been vacant ever since the Gottschalks chain of 58 stores declared bankruptcy, and closed five years ago.
Senn notes that the retail space is now providing some construction jobs...
"It certainly has heated up in the last couple of days."
But Senn won't say what kind of a store is going in...
"A department store...sooner or later."
The new store is expected to open in time for Christmas shopping.

Kaya Turski crowned World Slopestyle Champion!
This past weekend the world's best slopestyle and halfpipe skiers met in Voss, Norway for the Freeskiing World Championships. The FIS sanctioned and Olympic qualification event brought the world's best and only those qualified in each discipline. In the halfpipe, HEAD riders Aaron Blunck and Simon Dumont represented the USA in a fierce competition under the lights. After run one Aaron was in 5th, but a massive crash in his second run opened the door to others and ended up in 6th. Simon Dumont skied valiantly with the highest amplitude to start, but struggled in linking his tricks as smoothly as anticipated. Conditions were tough but a solid performance from them both. Aaron sits in fourth overall in the world rankings after the event.
In the slopestyle, Kaya Turski, Jesper Tjader, Zhach Pham, and PK Hunder representing Canada, Sweden, Great Britian, and Norway respectively. They all performed at the highest level and after the qualification PK stood in third going into the finals, although some difficulty in the final heat dropped him to comfortably sit in the top ten, but to highlight his tricks from the qualification, as stated by the event announcer, "PK is the most talented and smooth jumper in the game." Jesper Tjader threw tricks that made people gasp, yet the jumps have him some difficulty with wind and timing. Zhach seemingly danced over sections of the course, but scoring did not go his way on this day.
On the women's side, Kaya Turski held tough against the rest of the world with some off axis spins and a rail performance that only the professional X Games Rollerblade athletes could achieve. Shi skied her way onto the top of the podium as the World Slopestyle Champion as was granted an Olympic position for 2014.
A solid performance from all the athletes involved and now they are all poised and ready for X Games in Tignes, France as well as other spring activities.

N.Y. Electrician Shortage Hampers Sandy Recovery
Originally published on Thu December 6, 2012 10:26 am
It's been a month since Sandy made landfall in the northeast. For millions in that big storm's path, life is returning to normal - not for tens of thousands of people in New York City who still, still don't have electricity or heat. Many of them are waiting for an electrician to come to repair or certify wiring that was damaged by all the flooding. But as NPR's Joel Rose reports, there aren't enough electricians to go around.
JOEL ROSE, BYLINE: If you drive through the Rockaways in Queens, it seems like there's an electrician in a cargo van parked on every block.
SERGE NAZAIRE: There's a lot of people that's still out there that doesn't have electricity in their basement. They don't have their borders(ph) on.
ROSE: Serge Nazaire is eating lunch behind the wheel of his van between jobs. Nazaire left his house at 7 a.m. and says he won't get home until after 11 p.m. tonight. He says it's been like this every day since the storm hit.
NAZAIRE: I could easily say, oh, my wife misses me at home and it's 10 o'clock at night and I'm going home. I don't care you don't have heat. But that's not what I do. They tell me, oh, we need heat tonight, especially now that it's going to start to get cold.
ROSE: Thousands of New Yorkers can't get their heat back because their power is still out. That's only adding to the demand for electricians. Salt water flooded into thousands of basements across Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, meaning that many of those basements need new wiring and new panel boxes before the local utility can turn the power back on safely. And all that work needs to be done or certified by electricians licensed by New York City.
LESLIE MAHONEY: This is a nightmare to get any electrician, even for houses that were not under the water. Some people are paying $500, $1,000.
ROSE: Leslie Mahoney owns a building near the beach in the Rockaways. She got her regular electrician to restore power to her third floor. But Mahoney's cousin in Staten Island hasn't been so lucky.
MAHONEY: The house took no water. She still has to find an electrician to look at this panel. And the hunt for an electrician is unbelievable.
JONATHAN GASKA: People are suffering. They just can't get electricians.
ROSE: Jonathan Gaska is the district manager for Community Board 14 in Queens, which includes the Rockaways. Gaska says he's gotten complaints from constituents who've been told it could be two to three weeks before an electrician can get to their job.
GASKA: Their house is in good shape. All they need is electric work done. And it'll be Christmas, and they may or may not have electric back.
ROSE: After the storm, New York City launched a program called Rapid Repairs to connect people in need with licensed contractors. Gaska wants the city to go a step further by allowing electricians licensed in neighboring counties to work in New York City.
GASKA: The city's absolutely correct to not let, you know, some shoemaker come in and say he's an electrician and do it. The issue is there are experienced electricians in other counties that could do this work, clearly. And it would make it twice as fast, if not three times as fast, to get people back.
ROSE: But city hall hasn't budged. It insists that city-licensed electricians have to do the work or certify it in order to ensure that it's done safely and up to code. Back in the Rockaways, Serge Nazaire says it might speed things up if electricians from neighboring Nassau County could work in New York City. But he says that wouldn't be fair.
NAZAIRE: Because we can't go into Nassau and work over there, and they got problems, too. Oceanside and all these places, you know, I mean, it's in disarray, and we can't go over there and work. So what sense does it make for them to come over here and work?
ROSE: Besides, Nazaire says the wait for an electrician might be overstated. Nazaire says his company can be there in a couple of days, not weeks.
NAZAIRE: Triple T Electric, call us. There you go.
ROSE: Joe Rose, NPR News, New York. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

When it comes to achieving stubble-free skin for summer, salon waxing and in-office laser hair removal treatments are the gold standard. But, for a quick (and cheaper) fix at home, women can turn to razors and depilatories. There are some tricks of the trade, though. Jeannette Graf, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, says that if you're not careful, nixing stubble can become a skin-compromising situation.
How to avoid razor burn, ingrown hairs, and cuts? The sleek Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor ($12.99) might be designed for men, but because it has five blades and a heavier handle, it gives a super-close crop in fewer passes, Graf says. "The best time to shave is at the end of a warm shower, when blood vessels are dilated, causing skin to plump and expose the entire base of the hair follicle better. "Warm water also softens hair so it doesn't snap, helping prevent ingrown hairs. To avoid blade rust -- and skin infections -- swap out the blade every five to 10 shaves.
It is OK to shave every day as long as you keep the skin soft with a moisturizing shave cream, such as Skintimate Moisturizing Cream Shave Dry Skin ($3.99) with ultra-hydrating olive butter and white tea extract, which researchers at Kingston University in London found has anti-inflammatory properties.
During the summer you may be hesitant to slather on a heavy body lotion. But applying moisturizer over freshly shaven, still-damp skin will help minimize flakes and razor rash, Graf says. Try Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion ($17.75), which is spiked with nourishing jojoba, a natural liquid oil rich in vitamin E. It also has a healthy dose of sesame and avocado oils, which are easily absorbed skin softeners.
Using a depilatory, like Nair Shower Power-Sensitive ($6.99) isn't as popular as shaving, but it does have its advantages. For starters, you'll get a lower incidence of bumps and ingrown hairs, Graf says. "Plus, hair is removed at a deeper level, allowing a longer time for regrowth." While the hair only needs to be stubble-length to work, a depilatory is best when used sparingly -- every 10 days to two weeks. That's because the formula's chemicals, which break the bonds that hold hair together, can dry out skin.
Dealing with Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs show up when a hair that is shaved, waxed, or tweezed curls and burrows back into your skin as it grows. This can lead to inflammation, Graf says. Try these quick fixes.
Smooth Move. Hop in the shower and carefully exfoliate the area with a wash cloth or gentle body scrub. Once you've dried off, dab Tend Skin Liquid ($20) onto the bumps. The liquid contains acetylsalicylic acid (which is also the main component in aspirin), a gentle exfoliant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that helps slough away dead skin buildup, making it easier for hairs to resurface.
Picky, Picky. If stubborn hairs don't want to come back up on their own, try to avoid picking (which can lead to infections) and see your derm. She can help remove the hair and advise you about laser hair removal, which can resolve stubborn ingrown problems.
