In short, that little blip on Wendell Cox's chart can't just be skipped over. If you are really serious about CO2 emissions, you'd want to a) maximize sequestration, and b) minimize per-capita emissions. According to what you described, detached housing is not the most efficient way to do that. Town homes are.

I'm so thrilled that Los Altos Patch carries this new blogger with such wonderful tales of where the…Read More recipes came from. Because isn't that how we often relate to food? The way it makes us feel goes beyond the taste buds.
I will recommend we carry this on other Patch sites! Yum.

A. Did not know about your "event"
B. This article is more about the one person that did…Read More show up - good advertising.....?
C. Agree, news comes in very late and an editor needs to be on TOP of what's
going on in this town ... everything from school events to Garden Club happenings.
D. Mike McGuire typically posts after an event / or during -= around Sonoma Co. with pictures ... this is not so bad because it is usually a specific group he is working with, however, I think he also does a good job of "...hope to see you there..." - I don't see that on the Patch any longer.
E. When questions are asked like (paraphrase): "Wow, breezy out there. Anyone see any trees down?" It is rather like the Patch editor has not been outside looking about - why not comment on a few things and then ask the readers.
F. Most of the questions have been boring... but, if reporting is done first, then people would likely be more inclined to even open an article and take a peek.
My 6 cents. Z

Although I received your invitation notice in the morning I was unable to attend because of planned…Read More activities. However, I think it's a good idea for you to do and thanks for initiative. The Patch could be a good idea however, for me, in addition to local community events and activities the articles have to offer objectivity. If you have a political and/or ideological scant I would discontinue to be a reader and thus not a contributor or letter writer. I think open discussion is good and that conflict is good as it could be about positive change however, I have many too many activities to occupy my time.
1. My question to you is as the editor what is your vision for Patch and at this point what is your plan to accomplish that vision. Societies large and small are looking for people with vision and mission. I am not suggesting you write your vision because the readership will see it soon enough.
2.What is Patch really?
3. What is the criteria to inspire you to write an editorial?
4. What makes Patch different from the other online newspapers?
Christian, I would suggest that you encourage discourse but set up a few basic ground rules. I prefer that all communication be courteous and civil but being comfortably edgy is OK. You should reserve to right to pull any vindictive commentary/communication. How about a section or column with interviews with people who are doing interesting things outside the realm of Healdsburg events.
Good luck!

Hi Denise - great questions! I'll try to be brief.
Splenda is NOT sugar or food. It is a neurotoxin…Read More that also causes damage to the thymus gland. Also, numerous studies have shown that long term use of artificial sweeteners actually causes weight gain over time. (I'm happy to provide documentation on these statements if you like.)
Dairy is a tricky subject and could be the focus of a multi-volume text. Non-fat dairy products are higher in sugar, and are filled with non-nutritive gums and undigestible fibers to create what the industry calls "mouth feel" after the naturally occurring fats are removed. Basically what you end up with is a highly processed "food" full of damaged proteins and sugar. Instead, opt for organic, whole, unflavored, unsweetened REAL yogurt and add your own fresh or frozen fruit.
The Nature's Path Pumpkin Flax Plus granola has 37 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Let's break that down: on the label they claim 5g fiber and 10g sugar, so where is the remaining 22g of carbs? Those 22g are sugars that occur naturally so they don't have to list them as "added" sugars like the 10g on the label. That means you get a whopping 32g of glucose creating carbs per serving. It's also important to note that the serving size is 3/4 cup and most people don't limit themselves to that. For comparison, a Snickers Bar has 33g of carbohydrate and 27g of sugar.
Happy to have a more detailed conversation if you want to contact me directly 415-813-6183

I'm going to have to find time to call and get some tips in person! Thank you for the details above.…Read More I followed a low carb diet to lose 50 pounds about 8 years ago and it worked VERY well for me. Looking at labels was very enlightening. I've managed to keep the pounds off except for 10 that I go back and forth with since menopause. I started trying to just eat much healthier these days with a LOT more fresh fruit and veggies. I really enjoy this way of eating but it requires a lot of trips to the store for fresh items. What I'd like to do is find a good balance with dairy and protien to go with my fresh produce. I would also like to use grains efficiently in as far as avoiding the bad and using the good in moderation. There is an overabundance of information out there and I find it all confusing sometimes. Another thing I'd like to add is honey. Locally grown. But it's another SUGAR thing....sigh. I'm just gonna have to call you.

Like Scott Yeager, my wife and I also religiously watched Siskel&Ebert film review shows. I…Read More believe all the overwhelming and much deserved condolences are because he (and Siskel) were one of the first, if not THE first, film reviewers popularized in the media. They inspired us to not only appreciate good to great films, but also to understand what makes bad films really bad. Also, they introduced us to the small, independent films that made 2 "thumbs up". Things just haven't been the same on move review TV since.

I find this often with the people over at the Healdsburg patch. Yes, you are right Christian we have…Read More plenty of sandwich places but come on! its our job as locals to be supportive of new business in healdsburg. They're investing in our tiny closknit town. Togos might be a franchise but what about that place called partake? Just another wine tasting room. I don't see an article about them listing all the other random tasting rooms it's competing with. I don't worry The Healdsburg patch has such little following in town anyway, they should just stick to recycling old articles from the Press Democrat. Thank you Healdsburg Patch for wasting our time.

In my opinion if you have to come here you should have a job lined up and not need assistance. Tis just encourages extended families to come n over and take advantage of the handouts. As others have discussed before, our help and assistance programs should be for our citizens first NOT illegal immigrants! Especially education, that is the bigger problem!
