When Lexus introduced the IS F, enthusiasts were suitably skeptical about the automaker’s attempt to go head-to-head with the Germans. After all, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have specialized in creating autobahn-burning, Nordschleife-honed handlers for decades.

And then we drove it.

To everyone’s surprise, Lexus pulled it off, but we figured it might be a one-time deal. We assumed the IS F was an outlier – just a distraction from the brand’s cadre of well-built, less-than-sporty luxo-barges. We were wrong.

In the footsteps of the IS F was the introduction of the F-Sport accessories line, followed by rumors of a GS F and finally the LFA supercar. Lexus was becoming increasingly serious about making a mark in the luxury performance space, but on its own terms and at its own calculated pace.

Flash forward to October when a press release arrived touting a new Sport Package for the upcoming 2010 LS460. To be honest, our first thought was Lexus was overreaching. The LS is a fine sedan, with plenty of power and a reasonably good balance of ride and handling. But a sports sedan it’s not. No matter. If Lexus was threatening to “F” up its LS with a “Sport” package, we needed to put it to the test. And we did just that.

Facebook is without a doubt one of the most popular sites online at the moment; yet, it continues to grow at an increasing rate even as it enters a very select crowd of just a handful of sites with comparable audiences. The latest US numbers from comScore show that Facebook has managed to get pass the 100 million unique visitors in the US last month and that the social network’s growth shows no sign of stopping.

The analytics firm also moved Facebook up a place in its top of the biggest online proprieties in the US, now becoming the fourth largest site in the country after just Google sites, Yahoo sites and Microsoft sites. This is the highest ranking position the site has held in comScore’s top and it also means that AOL sites now slip to the fifth place.

Facebook managed to attract 102.9 million unique visitors in the US in November, from 97.4 million in the previous month, a 5.6 percent jump. AOL, on the other hand, managed just 99.7 million visitors last month, an actual increase in audience as it gained almost 1 million new visitors, but nothing like Facebook’s continued rise.

The growth is even more impressive when you take into account the fact that last year Facebook’s audience was half the size it is now, with 50.5 million unique visitors in November 2008. At the same time, AOL los… (read more)

Pasta is by far one of my favorite dishes because of it’s versatility and heartiness. Many people avoid pasta because of the carb and calorie intake but what they don’t realize is that several pasta dishes can be healthy and great for the waste line.

Of course everything in moderation. With that said the Holidays are a time when we over indulge, eat way too much, drink ’til our hearts content, and make resolutions we hope we can keep. I have a great recipe idea for your Turkey leftovers which is fairly low on the calorie scale.

Tuxedo Pasta w/ Turkey

Prep/Total Time 20 min.

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta

2 cups cubed cooked turkey (or chicken)

1 medium zucchini, sliced

1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper

3 tablespoons butter, divided

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth

3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the chicken, zucchini, mushrooms and red pepper in 2 tablespoons butter for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add the lemon juice and wine or broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until heated through.

2. Drain the pasta; add to the skillet. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, basil and remaining butter.

Yield. 6 servings.

***

If you want to make this pasta even more lean then leave out the butter and substitute with olive oil. You also don’t need the Parmesan but it adds some lovely flavor.

Buon Appetito & Happy Holidays!

Holiday Leftovers: Tuxedo Pasta w/ Turkey

Being a carnivore is philosophically untenable

From a philosophical perspective, Washington University in St. Louis graduate student Adam Shriver says we humans need to do all we can to eliminate the suffering of animals we eat. He thinks the solution ought to be that we all become vegetarians so we have no more need for the feedlot, but that’s not exactly realistic.

He suggests it might be possible to genetically alter animals so that they don’t feel the pain caused by factory farming conditions and our current methods of slaughter, but of course the pain animals feel isn’t the only problem caused by large-scale meat production, and knocking out animals’ ability to feel pain would probably set them up for even greater horrors than they now experience.

Factory farming of animals is very resource intensive, using a lot of water and feed, producing a lot of waste and greenhouse gasses. The working conditions aren’t great for the people who take part in the system, and food-borne illness is more rampant now than ever because of the close quarters animals share and the way meat is produced.

Could meat from a test tube save the planet?

For all those reasons, it’s not too surprising that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is offering a million dollar prize to the first person or company that develops a way to make meat in a test tube that doesn’t harm any animals in the process.

That goal is at least 10 years away, experts say, but the science behind it — the same ideas that go into the study of tissue regeneration — is already out there. Oxford University has estimated that lab-grown meat would result in 80 percent fewer greenhouse gasses being emitted compared to the current factory farming system, would use 90 percent less land and water and ultimately cost about the same amount (though development of the process will be expensive, of course).

But there’s still a bit of an ick factor that will have to be overcome (though arguably less than with cloned meat), and some argue that people don’t need to eat as much meat as they currently do, and if everyone enjoyed meat more sensibly it could be sustainably produced by small farmers.

What’s more, it turns meat into a highly processed food and takes people one step further away from an understanding of where their food comes from.

Eating meat isn’t sweet, could meat from a tube save the world?

Portsmouth, Rhode Island | Extraordinary Flora

Long before Steven King included topiary animals in his novel The Shining, plants rendered in unconventional forms have held an enchanting and, at times, disconcerting appeal to outsiders. As America’s oldest and northernmost example, Green Gardens has remained a destination for botanical enthusiasts across three centuries.

The seven-acre estate perched on the edge of the Narragansett Bay was originally purchased in 1872 by Joseph Brayton. Shortly thereafter, Brayton commissioned a well-regarded Portuguese gardener by the name of Joseph Carreiro to turn the landscape surrounding his home into an otherworldly art garden. Carreiro set to work laying the foundation for what can be seen at Green Gardens to this day, focusing much of his efforts on creating live vegetation sculptures.

Topiariy animals made by Carreiro’s kin in the 1940s were crafted from California privet and ewe, heartier plants that are more suited to the sometimes extreme climate of Rhode Island than the boxwood used in more traditional landscape sculptures. Fantastic imaginary figures such as unicorns and a Don Quixote stand along side exotic replicas of camels, elephants and giraffes. In addition to the eponymous animals, flowers and ponds saturate the landscape, and more than 60 topiary trees carved into elaborate geometric shapes guide visitors on winding paths through the grounds.

After the passing of Alice Brayton, who had inherited her father’s gardens, Green Animals was left in the care of the current operators, the Preservation Society of Newport County. Please note that the garden is open during the warm seasons only, due to maintenance of the plant life.

San Francisco, California | Outsider Art

In the heart of the Mission District lies the most concentrated collection of murals in San Francisco. Renowned for their political import and reverential maintenance, Balmy Alley has become a destination for appreciators of street art and political culture alike.

Springing from an area of the city with a well-founded history of political activism, the murals were first painted in 1972 by a two-woman mural team who referred to themselves as the Mujeres Muralistas. Their original murals formed the foundation for Balmy Alley’s present-day incarnation, including referencing multiple Latin American countries and cultures within a single, unified visual aesthetic.

In the mid-1980s, the Balmy Alley murals morphed into a more organized and actively managed purpose. Ray Patlan convened a troupe of mural activists in 1984 to cover all the garage doors and fences running the length of the block with visual meditations on two interconnected themes: praise of indigenous Central American cultural heritage, and protest against the United States’ intervention in Central American affairs.

The group of muralists set about convincing (the mainly Latino) property owners of the viability of the idea, seeking permission to paint on pieces of their private property. After a few residents conceded the use of their back fences and gates allowing the community to experience what the finished project would resemble, Balmy Alley quickly gained momentum in the summer of 1985, during which time 27 murals were completed.

The experience of engaging with the murals in Balmy Alley is emblematic of their greater political purpose; as each mural seems more powerful for its proximity to the others than it would in isolation, the murals have the effect of mirroring a successful force of community activists.

These days Balmy Alley is a constant work in progress, with repairs from weather-related damages taking place at the same time as fresh murals are being painted atop the old. Further diversification of the topics represented in the murals has taken place, making any politicized subject fair game in addition to the original tropes of Latin American human rights.

Analyst Dave Rosenberg is going into hibernation for a few weeks as the holidays approach, but before doing so, he took one last moment to address two growing concerns: The growing amount of U.S. debt and sovereign risk:

Breakfast With Dave: We are not sure if this is a well known “fact”, but the U.S. government has a record$2.5 trillion of its debt, including bills, bonds and notes, rolling over in 2010. That,my friends, is 35% of the outstanding level of Uncle Sam’s marketable obligations having to be refinanced in one single year. One has to wonder how the Fed is going to be able to raise interest rates in such a backdrop of massive rollovers;and if it doesn’t and the economy manages to exceed expectations or we get some inflation, how it is that the near-record steepness in the yield curve doesn’t continue in the coming year.

But very clearly, sovereign risk globally has taken over as the major potential flare-up for the coming year. Looking at the official projections for 2010, we have Japan’s government debt-to-GDP ratio hitting 227%; Italy at 120%; the U.S. and the U.K. both at 94%; Germany and France at 83%, and Canada at 79% (all levels of government). Rarely, if ever, has Canada been the one-eyed man to this extent in the land of the blind.
