Or are they a response to increased demand after there are more bikes on the road?” I sent him a link to a post we did showing that bike lanes existed in 1928 , but another co… Read the full story on TreeHugger

NPR Newscast Promotes ‘Revolutionary Nutcracker’ Ballet in San Francisco
December 13, 2010 No CommentThat taxpayer-funded leftist sandbox called National Public Radio promoted the latest work/wreck of “progressive art” on Saturday morning's Weekend Edition . In San Francisco, they're twisting the classic ballet The Nutcracker into a radical-left jeremiad. Anchor Scott Simon announced nonchalantly: “'Tis the season for The Nutcracker. One production in San Francisco is decorated with a grab-bag of liberal political causes. In the Revolutionary Nutcracker Sweetie, the ice caps melt during the dance of the snowflakes and Clara is an undocumented Latina maid.” Liberal reporters think liberals aren't at all noteworthy so they get no label. When the media elite announces something has “liberal causes,” it's extremely leftist. Reporter April Dembosky interviewed the show's writer and director, Krissy Keefer, about her twisted take on Tchaikovsky: KEEFER: We are a political dance company in that we try to make work that is socially relevant, that is responding to the real ideas and real needs of people today in the community. read more

December 13, 2010 No Comment
Photo: Kelly Rossiter Here is a great recipe to add to your repertoire. I made this for a dinner party, and in the last minute rush forgot to mix the squash with the pesto. Honestly, the caramelized squash itself was so delicious, nobody noticed the missing ingredient. The pesto on it’s own was delicious as well and I imagine it will end up adorning some pasta shells. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

True, they may not have achieved the mainstream success of An Inconvenient Truth , but I have met so many people whose worldview was profoundly shaken by film makers Gregory Greene and Barry Silverthorne and their uncom… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Sony has announced three (count ‘em) new series of SD cards, giving amateurs, pros, and prosumers alike even more choices on where to stick their pics. First up is the budget Essential Series in 2, 4, and 8GB capacities, offering Class 4 (4MB/s) speeds and little else. Next up is the similarly Class 4 Experience Series, which adds 16 and 32GB models to the list. Finally is the full-bore, Class 10 Expert Series in 8, 16, and 32GB capacities. This is obviously your choice for high bitrate HD recording (hello PMW-F3 ), but any should do just fine for taking pictures. All come with a handy “memo space” for those with petite handwriting and ultra-fine point pens, and all ship in January, but, alas, none have been assigned MSRPs just yet. Now, who said Sony doesn’t like industry-standard formats?
