Welcome to the Monthly Edit. These are things I either already own, want to buy or just dream about.
1 // This rug from McGee + Co is so perfect. I'd put it underneath the outdoor mat below. Bonus: free shipping through the weekend using code TREAT.
2 // I am not a pink person really but for some reason I can't get these slippers out of my head. I first found them at TJMaxx but of course they didn't have my size so I found them online at DSW.
3 // I don't know if I'll ever own this ottoman but I can certainly dream. This is one of my favorite pieces from Amber Lewis who can seriously do no wrong.
4 // This outdoor doormat from Olive Paper Co would be so gorgeous on top of the McGee + Co rug above. She hand paints every single one! Check out her IG feed and thank me later – it is so pretty!
5 // Splatter tumblers from Chelspots. I bought a planter from her a few years ago at a makers fair and she is so talented. I was somewhere earlier this week and used her Mom so Hard mug and I had to check her out again. She's local to San Diego which is cool. We have some amazing makers here. It's so inspiring.
6 // I used to work with Michelle before we all left Florida. She and her hubby moved to Vienna and she really ramped up her photography business. She is a film photographer and her work is just so dreamy and ethereal. Seriously prepare to be blown away. She sells some of her prints through Society 6 so I highly recommend you check it out.
7 // Kassi Grunder is another local maker that I recently found on Instagram and I am super in love with this Grace earring that is the little curve earring that you can wear on one or both sides. I like the one that curves up on the right. She also does some fun craft workshops which hopefully I'll be able to go to soon!
8 // I have been using Get to Work Book for about a year and I realized that recently I've recommended it about a dozen times, no joke. She's also lives here in San Diego and has designed what I consider to be the best planner I've ever used. They're a little pricey but WORTH IT. The new year will be here before you know it so you should order one of these and be prepare to do the work!
9 // What kind of interior designer would I be if I didn't give some love to the new Hearth & Hand line at Target. I am so into these plates and I think I need to run and get a set before they're all gone! The color and shape is exactly what I've been looking for.
That's it for my first installment of Monthly Edit. Let me know in the comments what you think and if you've used any of these products.

September 27, 2007November 3, 2007
Demisch Danant is pleased to present Autoprogettazione (2007), a show of do-it-yourself' wooden works by Italian designer Enzo Mari (b. 1932), on view September 27 through November 3. While enrolled at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan from 1952 - 1956, at a time when mass production was quickly replacing craftsmanship, Mari developed a creative conscience and philosophical outlook in reaction to what he saw as a cultural shift in favor of accessibility at the expense of quality. Mari's design approach has since remained theoretical, primarily concerned with the relationship between the object and the user.
n 1974, at the Galleria Milano, Mari exhibited a collection of wooden furniture entitled Autoprogettazione, which translates as self design.' Mari distributed a free catalogue at the exhibition with detailed instructions for constructing these simple furniture pieces using standardized wooden planks and nails. The catalogue marked a dramatic attempt on Mari's part to reconnect the consumer with the direct experience, construction and understanding of their lived environment.
On view at Demisch Danant are six pieces from the Autoprogettazione collection, all constructed and signed this year by Enzo Mari himself. By involving the consumer in the actual construction of the piece, these wooden works are perhaps Mari's most notable reaction to the alienating affects of mass production, and remain poignant markers of resistance in today's increasingly industrialized world. Furthermore, these self-designs' have achieved contemporary relevance in a global culture increasingly concerned with sustainability and the ill effects of mass consumption.

The liberated 60s have not reached the shores of New Zealand when Claire, a single pregnant girl is sent up-country to have her child, which is to be adopted out. The Sloane family are strangers who offer to board her through this time. But are they? Claire is thrust into the unknown when Alan and Hazel Sloane are involved in a truck accident on the farm. It is up to Claire to help. She does but is now alone on the farm. Initial fears at being alone reach a climax when an elderly man arrives to look after the animals. He is Bob Hodge, Hazel's father. Claire and Bob feed out in the snow and gradually an affinity develops between the pair. In this conservative rural area, the tranquillity of the surface hides a darker background that goes back a generation to before Claire was born. And she is directly involved. This is a story of how scars of the past are opened and conquered by the love of the present for and by Claire, a girl who becomes a woman in the months that make up 1961.

You know that old weather saying, "in like a lion, out like a lamb"? That's pretty much every Fall here in Chicago. There is no easing into the cold weather. One day it's 95° and the next, bam, it's 21° and snowing. Which is presently what's happening outside my window. But there's something about that first snowfall. It's magical. I curl up under a warm, cozy blanket and sip my wine slow.
To help ease my body into the frigid temps, I tend to treat myself. Something to make the next few months couped up inside a little more special. Here's a little round of the warm and cozy home decor I have on my wishlist.

MB&F Introduces The Legacy Machine Perpetual
Improving traditionnal complications to make them more reliable, easy to use and efficient implies a deep understanding of the technical principles as well as the ability to think in a creative way. The new LM Perpetual from MB&F is the result of an unusual and remarkable process of reinterpreting the perpetual calendar - one of the "big four" most complex functions in mechanical watchmaking. The concept was to rethink the way a perpetual calendar works. The perpetual calendar is a complete calendar - displaying day, date, month, year and gap year - that takes into account the variable length of the months and the gap years. Usual perpetual calendar are set on months of 31 days and the system afterwards deduces the right number of days. Here it is the contrary: the months are by default of 28 days and the supplementary days are then added.
This makes the mechanism much more reliable, considering also that is was conceived to be unbreakable when changing the date, which is the biggest weakness of perpetual calendars. And what to say about the design except that, once again, MB&F succeded in capturing the essence of the complication and to display in a new, modern, and splendid way? Every element of the display looks like suspended above the main dial which is actually the main plate. By having different color depending on the version, it works as a background to the perpetual function which is the only system of the movement appearing on the front except the escapement, the heart of any mechanical watch, and the signature of the LM line. The LM Perpetual is then a contemporary and elitist classical wristwatch as well as an educationnal and precise demonstration of a complex system. Hat's off to MB&F (again)

Grabbed the attention...
"He came out in a green track suit. A minute later, he had crushed a can of soda in a sticky explosion of corn syrup. It definitely grabbed the attention of all the students at the assembly held at White Pine High School on Tuesday morning. That was exactly his intention."
— The Ely Times (Ely, Nevada)
Encouraging words...
"Johnson's speech ended on an emotional note of talking about how many girls sell themselves short because they are looking for love. He talked about how girls today get hurt and broken from untrue love and bad relationships.
His technique of mixing encouraging words and examples of extreme strength seems to be effective so far. Johnson's résumé includes visiting Cambodia every year to speak to people about the importance of trusting each other right. He talks to girls and women who are in prostitution there to give them encouraging words and urge them away from that lifestyle."
— The Sonoma State Star (Rohnert Park, CA)
Richly inspiring...
"Your presentation was so engaging that it fully held their interest, and when you were wrapping up the assembly, they were begging for more! It was richly inspiring!"
— Elementary School Principle (Salt Lake City, UT)

By now you surely know that in addition to my art, I also love working backstage behind the scenes in the theater. When people ask me about my varied art and theater careers and which I enjoy more I often explain that while I have been an artist for much longer than I have been working backstage in the theater, I am truly passionate about the theater. Thankfully my art has allowed me the opportunity and flexibility to be able to pursue my theater work. However, during this contest I discovered something. As I...Read More

Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
Lynn: I LOVED Marvel Comics when I was a kid and have retained a great fondness for caped and costumed superheros fighting evil. So Brandon Sanderson got me from page one of Steelheart (Random/Deleacorte 2013) when the evil Epic strolled into the bank and started vaporizing people. 8-year-old David watching in horror witnesses the death of his brave father and also sees something that may be an important clue for the future. Steelheart demolishes the bank and everyone in it but somehow David miraculously survives, keeping his secret knowledge safe and swearing revenge. Sanderson's terrific page-turner of a book delivers the powerful punch of a comic book without a single illustration!
After the Calamity, a strange burst of light in the sky, a few humans called the Epics started developing strange powers, have carved up what's left of the United States, and subjugated the population. Steelheart turned much of Chicago to steel and now rules Newcago. It's ten years later and David has grown up in an orphanage, yearning to find and join a group called the Reckoners, the only humans fighting back against the Epics. Each Epic has an Achilles heel and David is convinced that he knows Steelheart's weakness. An encounter with a small band of Reckoners, gives David the chance he needs and he gets his chance and joins the fight.
Hang onto your capes and tights because it's an action-packed roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Sanderson fills the pages with spectacular fights, narrow escapes, fantastic gadgets and a hum-dinger of a plot. He never takes himself too seriously either and there's plenty of humor and snappy dialog. Epics, their odd powers and odder weaknesses, are everywhere. There's Fortuity, Nightwielder, Deathpoint and Conflux but then there's the Pink Pinkness too. David tries hard to impress Megan, a fellow Reckoner but as she says, "You suck at metaphors," and the mangled metaphors are really fun to spot.
There's a lot of gore, a lot of heart, a lot of surprises and a whole lot of fun with a cliff-hanger ending ripe for the sequel coming in 2014. Can't wait!

Happy Birthday to Our Website/
Can you believe it's already been a year since we launched our website? To celebrate the birthday of our website, I've completely re-designed the look and feel of the website. The product pages have been updated, the repairs page is back up and up-to-date, and there are more pages going live every day. Here's hoping you'll find the re-design easier to navigate and read!
And while the re-design isn't being accompanied by the ability to purchase things off the site, it is still something that we are thinking about very much. We're just not anywhere near ready to commit to anything like that yet. But if we should choose to do so, our website visitors will be the first to know.
But enough about the website – let's get to the updates!
Our Facebook page has been rather active as of late: we're up to 163 fans, and climbing! Our fans are making sure the page is ever-changing, with pictures of their R/C car bodies and conversations about what hop-ups are the best. Stop over and join the conversation!
First, a few stories from Horizon Hobby's ParkZone division. There's been a product bulletin released regarding the new ParkZone Extra 300. You can read the full bulletin here, but the short version is this: Despite what you may hear on the Internet forums, there is no defect with the wingtip airfoil shape of the airplane. However, ParkZone has found that the center-of-gravity does affect the low-speed handling of the airplane, and there is an error in the manual in regards to the CG location. ParkZone also cautions pilots that the Extra 300 is NOT a 3D aircraft; it is designed for sport- and precision-aerobatics. Making the airplane tail-heavy and increasing the elevator throws to make it fly in a 3D fashion is a good way to crash it in low-speed situations.
ParkZone has also revealed a new airplane to be released late September, the Stinson Reliant. It's going to be available in a Plug-N-Play ($184.99) and Bind-N-Fly ($249.99). It combines classic looks and a parkflyer price. This video is courtesy Horizon Hobby, and should give you a feel for how the airplane will handle. We can start taking pre-orders now.
Coming up in August, the Saginaw Valley Radio Control Club is hosting a Club Invitational airshow. It's free to attend, so be sure to mark your calendars for this one. Full details for the show are here.
On the R/C car front, there isn't much to announce. We finally have a good supply of Venom Lipo battery packs in again (seems like we've been without them for a long time, so I'm glad to have them back!).
A customer sent me a link to a video that got him excited. After watching it, I can see why! It depicts a prototype Losi 4WD Short Course truck. According to R/C Car magazine, it seems to be built on the TEN-T chassis (which is a very capable truggy in and of itself). As you can see in the video, this thing corners like few 4WD short course trucks do, and even laps a couple of trucks toward the end of the video. It's a great looking truck, but here's the rub: After seeing the video, I reached out (via e-mail) to my contact at Horizon Hobby to get a comment on the pricing, availability, and release date. Here is what my source said:
"[T]here were some team drivers running some modified vehicles to test the possibility of making a 4WD Short Course. Since these were not even pre-production samples it is too early to even say if Losi will make one…."
Disappointing to say the least. But we'll keep a close eye on this one. If this comes to pass, Losi may be able to redeem themselves from the embarrassment that the Strike (which has since been discontinued) was.
And finally, for our gaming customers, just want to remind you that Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2011 has been out for about a week and a half now. Booster packs for this, and other sets, run $3.29 here. So stop in and get them while they're here!

All other Casting Conversation Timeslots (by phone) listed below
FOR INFORMATION ON LEAD / larger ROLES FOR OLYMPUS, PLEASE VISIT THIS PAGE
For students in our 1-week camp Boy Who Kept A Secret:
Any students aged 10-11 (and ones who are 9 and feeling spunky) who wish may sign up for a casting conversation. Here, we have a ~5-10 minute check-in with the student to see what types of roles they are interested in (big/medium/small, solo singing or no, gender preferences if any, etc.). If a student 9-11 is opting for group roles or smaller individual roles, they needn't have the casting conversation. Students aged 7 and 8 are cast in group roles and occasionally small individual parts.
Students interested in a role that has solo singing (The Boy, The Witch, Morningstar, Datenut) please prepare a ~30 second song to be sung over the phone. Any song is fine, though it should reflect the student's range.
For students in our 3-week camp Olympus: Auditions vs. Casting Conversations
---- AUDITIONS for the parts of Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus, or Hero: Any students aged 12-14 (and those 10-11 who feel exceptionally advanced in musical theater) who are interested in being considered for these four largest parts in the play (which might be split up) need to have an audition in person; see dates and times below. Auditions consist of
- The student singing a song (30-60 seconds). Any song choice is fine, but it would be best for it to reflect their talent and range of expression and vocal pitch. Acapella is fine, but if a student has recorded back-up music that is fine as well. There will be a piano available at auditions but we will not have a pianist present.
- The student preparing a short monologue OR doing a cold read from the Olympus script. Monologues should be 20-45 seconds long and memorized. AN UNMEMORIZED MONOLOGUE IS A SURE WAY TO SEND A SIGNAL THAT A STUDENT IS NOT COMMITTED TO DOING THE WORK THAT A LEAD ROLE IN OLYMPUS WILL REQUIRE.
We highly recommend the student preparing a monologue (which can be from Olympus) rather than doing a cold read. Even veteran actors can have challenges bringing emotion and expression to a cold read, and since we are looking for a picture of the student's acting talents in the monologue, most cold reads don't show that well.
- Us having a ~5 minute conversation about the students' interests in the various characters, any gender preferences in casting, etc.
- A singing range test from their lowest to highest
- FYI Parents/Guardians will not be present in the room during auditions
---- CASTING CONVERSATIONS for any individual parts in Olympus and any that involve solo or duet singing. Any students 10-14 (and occasional 9-year olds who are feeling spunky) are welcome to have a 5-10 minute phone conversation letting us know their preferences and hopes for casting (big/medium/small, solo singing or no, gender preferences if any, etc.). If they are interested in being considered for a part that has any solo or duet singing, please have the student prepare a ~30 second song of their choice (acapella singing is fine).
For medium roles, first consideration goes to those aged 12-14. However, we only cast folks in these challenging roles who we feel are the best fit and we feel convinced will do the work needed before and during camp for a successful performance.
How do we sign up?
To sign up for a lead phone conversation slot, please email email@example.com with your top three (3) lead slot time preferences, in order, and the best phone number at which to call your child that day. We will schedule your child accordingly and send you a confirmation email with the time we will be doing.
This schedule will be updated once a day.
Please try to find a time among those listed here. If for some reason it is impossible to find a compatible phone time with one listed here (and we are not using the term 'impossible' lightly), send us a line so we can try to find an alternate time.
Times listed are Pacific Standard Time.

Strong Towns is a national movement that aims to speak to all of America (and beyond!). To do this, we need to reach people in each and every state.
Last year, we shared our inaugural "top 10" list of Strong Towns members per state (including DC), ranked per capita. Here is an updated list for 2016 (2015 ranking in parentheses):
- District of Columbia (1)
- North Dakota (2)
- Minnesota (3)
- Oregon (5)
- Montana (6)
- Wisconsin (T10)
- Alaska (9)
- Maine (7)
- New Hampshire (4)
- Arkansas (17)
While the top three jurisdictions maintained their positions in 2016, there were a few dramatic changes in the list. Most notably, Arkansas rocketed from 17th place last year to snag a space in the top 10. Wisconsin was also a notable performing, rising from a tied for 10th in 2015 to 6 in 2016. As a result of these two dramatic risers, Massachusetts and South Dakota fell off the top ten list, dropping to 11th and 23rd respectively
If you're upset that your state didn't make this year's top ten list, now's the time to act! Sign up during this week's #MembersMatter campaign, or if you are already a member, share our message with others in your community.
Stay tuned this week, as we'll be sharing other state level membership numbers.

Title: The Stingiest Man in Town
My rating: ****
Adaptation: Featuring the voice of Walter Matthau as Ebenezer Scrooge, and Tom Bosley as B.A.H. Humbug.
Date/Year of Release: Saturday, December 23, 1978
Format: DVD, animated, feature-length musical comedy
Is this adaptation reverent? Yes, this adaptation is reverent; it includes a Nativity Scene and a song about Baby Jesus.
Does it include the phrase "God bless us...?" Yes, Tiny Tim says, "God bless us, everyone!"
Does it mention "God" or "Christ"? Yes, it includes a song dedicated to Baby Jesus.
What does my wife think of it? She likes it, but thinks B.A.H. Humbug is kind of creepy.
How closely does this adaptation follow the original novel, by Charles Dickens? This adaptation follows the original novel fairly well. It is narrated by a tiny man (tinier than Tim) with antennae on his forehead, named B.A.H. Humbug (voice of Tom Bosley). It shows Scrooge (Walter Matthau) being stingy with Bob Cratchit (Sonny Melendrez), and the coal he uses.
Fred visits him at his office, and invites him to Christmas Dinner at his house the next day. In this adaptation, Fred gives Scrooge a bouquet of poinsettias and a giftwrapped necktie. Scrooge opens the present and angrily throws the tie at Bob.
On Scrooge's way home, B.A.H. Humbug sings about Scrooge being so stingy he uses lightning bugs rather than buying matches from a matchstick girl (borrowed, apparently, from the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen).
Jacob Marley appears to Scrooge, and shows him other spirits with chains, outside Scrooge's window.
Then the Ghost of Christmas Past appears, as an old man in a white tunic with gold trim, and shows Scrooge Mr. Fezziwig's Christmas Ball, where a younger Scrooge dances with Belle, and then the scene in which Belle breaks off their engagement to be married. The scenes with Scrooge as a boy in school are skipped.
Then the Ghost of Christmas Present appears in a green robe with white trim, as in the novel. He shows Scrooge the homes of Bob and Fred. Tiny Tim asks his big sister, Martha, if there is a Santa Claus. She sings to him a song about Santa Claus, in which the Ghost of Christmas Present's robe is transformed into a red suit with white trim.
There is also a song about Baby Jesus.
After Scrooge sings a song about Tiny Tim to the Ghost of Christmas Present, this ghost disappears, and is replaced by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, who shows Scrooge a woman at old Joe's Pawn shop. She shows Joe items she stole from a dead man, but neither she nor Joe specify which items those are.
Then the Ghost shows Ebenezer his tombstone, which transforms itself into a red demon, as Scrooge promises to change.
Then Scrooge finds himself in his room on Christmas morning, and sends a boy to buy the biggest turkey at the butcher shop, and trusts him to deliver it to Bob Cratchit himself, rather than bringing the poulterer back, and giving the poulterer money for the turkey and a cab.
Then Scrooge goes Christmas shopping, and the boy with the turkey arrives at Bob's with the turkey in his arms, and an entourage of people with presents. Scrooge has dinner with Fred and his wife, and the people at their Christmas Dinner Party.
The next day, Scrooge catches Bob coming to work late, but raises his pay, and visits him at his house.
What dialect is used? Plain English.
When and where does this adaptation take place? London, in the 1800's.
Is this adaptation a prequel or a sequel? No/Yes. If yes, explain.
Is this adaptation supernatural? Yes, this adaptation is supernatural, with lots of ghosts and at least one demon.
Is this adaptation "framed"? Yes, this adaptation is framed by the narration of B.A.H. Humbug, a bug-sized little man with antennae.
What original musical numbers and/or dance routines are included? This adaptation is a musical comedy, including songs by virtually every character, including songs about Santa Claus and Baby Jesus.
How attractive is the visual art? The art in this adaptation is adequate.
How creative and instense are the transitions, especially when "the Scrooge" is taken from one time and/or place to another? The transitions are entertaining, with scenes of flights over London.
What is the most remarkable thing about this adaptation? The most remarkable thing about this adaptation is, perhaps, the narration by B.A.H. Humbug, a tiny man with antennae. It is also unique in that it includes original songs about Scrooge, Baby Jesus, Santa Claus, and Christmas.
What extras are included on the tape or DVD? On the DVD, subtitles in English are available. It comes on Disc 1 of 4 in a set titled Classic Christmas Favorites. Disc 1 includes Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, and Pinocchio's Christmas, as well as The Stingiest Man in Town. It also includes four featurettes: "Making Animation and Bringing It to Life," "Dr. Seuss and the Grinch: From Whoville to Hollywood," "Songs in the Key of Grinch," and a "Making-of Featurette and Pencil Test," as well as an audio commentary Animator Phil Roman and the voice of Cindy Lou, June Foray.
Disc 2 includes The Year Without a Santa Claus Deluxe Edition, Rudolph's Shiny New Year, and Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. It also includes two featurettes: "We Are Santa's Elves," and "Stop Motion 101."
Disc 3 includes Frosty's Winter Wonderland and 'Twas the Night Beofe Christmas.
Disc 4 includes Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July.

WSJ Article on Residential PACE Quoted in Entirety
Begin Quote of WSJ Article by Kirsten Grind
"America's Fastest-Growing Loan Category Has Eerie Echoes of Subprime Crisis
Lenders offering energy-conscious loans care little about borrowers' creditworthiness, contractors function as loan brokers—and investors can't get enough
Cindi Ventura helps her mother out of the San Jose, Calif., house where they live. They got a PACE loan for $16,732 after eroded sewer pipes caused a flood. PHOTO: PRESTON GANNAWAY FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Updated Jan. 10, 2017 2:41 p.m. ET
Deanna White told a contractor she couldn't afford the $42,200 loan he recommended for improvements to her house in Inglewood, Calif. The contractor, she recalled, said she wouldn't be on the hook because the loan was part of a "government program." She applied and was approved.
Two years later, Ms. White is struggling to make payments on the loan, which was packaged with more than 10,000 similar loans into bonds and sold to investors. Under its terms, Ms. White's five-bedroom house could be foreclosed on if she defaults.
Her loan is part of a booming corner of the lending industry called Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE. Such loans, set up by local governments across the U.S., are designed to encourage homeowners to buy energy-efficient solar panels, window insulation and air-conditioning units.
About $3.4 billion has been lent so far for residential projects, and industry executives predict the total will double within the next year. That would likely rank PACE loans as the fastest-growing type of financing in the U.S.
As the loans spread, so do problems that echo the subprime mortgage crisis. Plumbers and repairmen essentially function as loan brokers but have scant training and oversight. They often pitch PACE loans to help land contracting jobs and earn referral fees from lenders, according to loan documents and more than two dozen borrowers, industry executives and employees.
Creditworthiness matters little to lenders, because loans are based on the value of a homeowner's property. PACE loans typically require no down payment, and the debt is added to property-tax bills as an assessment. Ms. White's annual property taxes soared to $6,500 from $1,215.
Loan growth is fueled partly by investor appetite for bonds created from PACE loans, especially among mutual funds and insurers. Investors like the bonds' relatively high payouts, environmentally friendly reputation and lofty credit ratings. On the other hand, rating firms have said there aren't enough historical data on PACE loans to forecast potential defaults.
Some local governments that embraced the loans as a way to bring clean energy to the masses didn't anticipate the messy consequences.
"We wanted to put ourselves in the thick of this," says Rick Bishop, executive director of the Western Riverside Council of Governments, a group of city and county governments in California that helps run the largest PACE program. "The downside is now we hear about these stories from people who feel like they've been misinformed in some fashion."
The government group tries to resolve problems for borrowers. Riverside County, Calif., has opened an investigation into marketing practices for PACE loans, and California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law in September new requirements establishing uniform disclosures for PACE loans, an effort to make lending terms closer to those for mortgages. Homeowners who get a PACE loan now have three days to back out.
The largest PACE lender, Renovate America Inc., is accused in three lawsuits filed in November by borrowers of double-charging interest and administrative fees and failing to immediately credit loan payments. The suits seek class-action status. The company denies the allegations and says it will "defend PACE, our company and the program vigorously."
In November, the Energy Department urged administrators of the loan programs to clearly explain loan costs and other terms, allow borrowers to cancel their loan during a short period and deter kickbacks to contractors.
Industry executives say most borrowers are satisfied with their loans and defaults are rare.
Lenders are working with consumer groups to create nationwide standards "to prevent things that wouldn't benefit consumers," says JP McNeill, Renovate America's founder and chief executive.
The growing pains are largely the result of the industry's young age, the executives say. The first PACE program was started in 2007 by Cisco DeVries, then chief of staff to the mayor of Berkeley, Calif.

Thirty-four states and Washington, D.C., have passed legislation allowing the creation of PACE programs, according to PACENation, an industry trade group in Pleasantville, N.Y.
Mr. DeVries, who calls himself a "capitalist hippie" and now is chief executive of Renew Financial Group LLC, a clean-energy finance company in Oakland, Calif., says he is "really proud of what we've accomplished." He adds: "We set out to help people save money and save energy, and it's under way."
The industry could get a new growth spurt from a July decision by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to allow the Federal Housing Administration to purchase mortgages on homes with PACE loans.
PACE loans range in size from about $5,000 to more than $100,000, with an average of about $25,000, and charge interest rates of 6% to 9% over a repayment period of usually five to 25 years.
Instead of making monthly mortgage payments, PACE borrowers pay what they owe once or twice a year along with their property taxes. Cities and counties collect the loan payments and pass along the money to lenders.
Local governments collect fees from finance companies. In the fiscal year that ended June 30, the Western Riverside Council of Governments collected revenue of $7.1 million, or about 15% of its budget, from the PACE program.
Another quirk of PACE loans is that the debt usually goes to the front of the line, ahead of the homeowner's mortgage. Like a typical tax assessment, that means if a homeowner defaults on the PACE loan, the property can be seized as collateral and sold to repay the lender.
That setup puts local governments in the awkward position of potentially foreclosing on their constituents. If that happens and the house turns out to be worth less than the amount owed by the homeowner, other taxpayers could be stuck with a loss on the difference. So far, that hasn't happened.
Some investors say the extensive involvement in PACE loans by governments across the country amounts to an implicit financial backstop. The belief that governments stand behind the loans is a major reason why investors are attracted to the bond deals, according to investors.
"There is such big national and state backing," says Mike Warmuth, portfolio management vice president at FBL Financial Group Inc., the owner of Farm Bureau Life Insurance Co. in West Des Moines, Iowa. The insurer owned $22 million of PACE bonds at the end of September.
Mr. Warmuth says the insurer's broker suggested the bonds, which generally yield about 4%. He says he isn't aware of any underwriting deficiencies with the loans, adding that Farm Bureau only had access to aggregate loan data before buying the bonds.
Defaults on loans in PACE bond deals overall have been less than 1%, according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency Inc. Cecil Smart, a senior director at the ratings firm, says the bond deals are structured so that lenders bear the brunt of any losses, rather than investors.
Germany's Deutsche Bank AG is one of the largest packagers of PACE loans into securities and led a $284 million deal in mid-December, which drew far more investor demand than expected. The bank is aware of problems stemming from the role of contractors, says a person familiar with the matter.
Contractors often line up loans while on house calls and can earn a referral fee of at least $500 per borrower, according to current and former employees. The loans also are marketed at county fairs and by cold calling, borrowers say.
Renovate America uses about 8,000 contractors to help line up loans, according to bond documents. Those contractors are overseen by 23 employees at the San Diego company.
The company says it recently put in place a more-stringent contractor management program. Renovate America says only about 200 contractors are actively arranging PACE loans.
Cindi Ventura, 65 years old, says she was urged last summer by her plumber to apply for a PACE loan after sewer pipes eroded underneath her three-bedroom house in San Jose, flooding the property. She said she had recently filed for personal bankruptcy, didn't have the money to make all the repairs and couldn't qualify for a home-equity line of credit.
She and her mother, 83, received a $16,732 loan for five years from Ygrene Energy Fund Inc. with a 6.5% interest rate. Ygrene ("energy" spelled backward), based in Santa Rosa, Calif., is the second-largest provider of PACE financing in the country, based on loan volume.

Ms. Ventura, a receptionist, says she was confused about the loan's terms because it was called an assessment. She says she called and emailed Ygrene several times with questions about her loan documents and never heard back. "I still don't really understand what the program is," she says.
Louis Lalonde, chief marketing officer of Ygrene, says company representatives had a call with Ms. Ventura and her mother to answer all their questions before the loan was signed. He says he has no record of any further attempts to contact them.
The 3,200 contractors who drum up business for Ygrene are regularly screened for compliance with contractor licensing requirements and receive training before they are allowed to pitch loans to homeowners, he adds.
Malcolm Scott, 61, was planning to pay in cash the $34,000 it would cost for a new air-conditioning unit, furnace and other improvements at his house in Woodland Hills, Calif. His contractor suggested applying for a PACE loan.
Mr. Scott was surprised to find out less than 24 hours later that he had been approved for $94,000. Renovate America says he qualified for the larger loan based on the amount of equity in his house. He decided to borrow just the $34,000.
Michael Gardner, who runs Mediterranean Heating & Air Conditioning, which lined up the loan, says he has been recommending loans for about two years and got "an hour or two" of online training from Renovate America.
The program "is real nice because there are no FICO score requirements or anything like that," says Mr. Gardner.
Some lenders have taken steps to strengthen underwriting practices, make loan documents more transparent and boost contractor oversight. Renovate America now requires in-house representatives to speak with a borrower by phone—outside of the room and away from the contractor—before signing a homeowner up for a PACE loan.
Renovate America, which is backed by nine private-equity and venture-capital firms, says it has spent the last several months working with consumer groups and regulators to come up with national lending standards for PACE. The new standards could include a year with no payments for borrowers who are suffering from an economic hardship.
"At the end of the day, PACE is an unregulated industry, and it's just a matter of time before we get regulated," says Mr. Lalonde of Ygrene.
Phil Adleson, a lawyer in San Jose, Calif., who represents borrowers, says PACE is "a very great idea implemented in a dangerous fashion."
Ms. White, the borrower in Inglewood, a neighborhood in Los Angeles County, says a contractor from a company named the House Next Door told her in late 2014 not to worry that she couldn't afford the $42,200 loan because "it wouldn't be coming out of my pocket."
The company says no one there would ever describe PACE loans like that and says Renovate America has held weekly training sessions for its contractors for "more than a year."
Ms. White says the contractor finished the drought-resistant landscaping at her house only after being contacted by a Journal reporter. Renovate America says the contractor has been "under suspension" for the past several weeks.
Her loan went into a pool of 11,282 PACE loans that are collateral on bonds issued by the Western Riverside Council of Governments. Deutsche Bank packaged the bonds into a $240 million deal called "HERO Funding Trust 2015-1." Kroll gave it a AA rating, the firm's third-highest.
According to the latest available figures, fewer than 70 of the underlying PACE loans have defaulted, and Kroll said the transaction "has performed as projected."
Ms. White's next loan payment is due in April. She says she doesn't know how she will be able to pay it."

Denver, CO
My family and I are moving to Denver Colorado! We are incredibly excited for change of scenery. Since 3 Turn Productions is based just outside of Denver, I'm confident that this move will be healthy for he project.
Dusty Flack is still moving strong with a pretty cool trajectory! Even though Raph will be in Phoenix and I in Denver, the work will continue remotely. I've been working on EJ this entire time remotely, so I'm not concerned about this falling through the cracks.
Blood Quantum has slowed but not stopped. With my time being pretty much completely pre-occupied with Ever Jane, Gravity Ghost, and other paid contracts, my own game has had to take a back seat to projects that pay me and have a shot at shipping. Since Will Courtney is working on Gravity Ghost with the lovely Erin Robinson, I'll have him back with full momentum after it's release in September(?).
Looking forward to meeting all the Colorado game devs and feasting my eyes on the some of the most beautiful scenery the US has to offer. :)

New ethnography of Christianity among the Bidayuh of Sarawak
The Christianity of Culture
Conversion, Ethnic Citizenship, and the Matter of Religion in Malaysian Borneo
Liana Chua
Series: Contemporary Anthropology of Religion
Palgrave Macmillan
I have greatly enjoyed reading this book. This is twenty-first century ethnography at its best. Based on extended fieldwork among the Bidayuh of Sarawak, in Malaysian Borneo, The Christianity of Culture deftly weaves its empirical and theoretical strands around an ethnographic puzzle: why have most Bidayuh Christians chosen not to sever their ties with the 'old ways'? In search of an answer, Chua crafts a compelling account of Bidayuhs' struggles with a new religious, economic and political order following Sarawak's 'independence through Malaysia' in 1963. Along the way, we learn a great deal about the complex interrelations between Bidayuh sociality, materiality and religious praxis at a time of swift cultural change.
Looking Like a Culture: Moden-ity and Multiculturalism in a Malaysian Village
Following the Rice Year: Adat Gawai, Past and Present
The Making of a 'Not Yet Pure Christian' Village
Why Bidayuhs Don't Want to Become Muslim: Ethnicity, Christianity, and the Politics of Religion

Hydrology of the Orange-Senqu River basin varies from one part of the basin to antoher, in terms of annual rainfall, runoff and evapotranspiration. Given these variabile hydrological conditions, combined with human development demands, much of the basin experiences some degree of water stress.
The hydrology of the Orange-Senqu River basin is discussed in the following terms:
The mean annual precipitation (MAP) in the Orange-Senqu River basin is approximately 1 800 mm at the source of the river, and declines the further west the river flows until it is less than 50 mm per annum. Runoff in the basin is also highly variable in most rivers due to seasonality and rainfall-run off processes, and available runoff from perennial streams is insufficient to meet high demands. While natural runoff in the basin has been estimated to be approximately 11 600 Mm³/a (ORASECOM 2007f), this value has been drastically modified due to flow regime regulation by major water management infrastructure in the basin.
A major issue in the southern African water cycle is that the mean annual evaporation (MAE) often exceeds the MAP, and the Orange-Senqu River basin is no exception (ORASECOM 2007e). MAE from surface waters in the Upper Orange-Senqu River basin is relatively low (1 400 mm and 2 200 mm); however, evaporation increases as the river runs westwards towards the desert region on the West coast, peaking at between 2 000 mm and 2 400 mm from above Boegoeberg Dam to upstream of Vioolsdrif (ORASECOM 2007e).
The water resources of the Orange Senqu River basin are shared by four countries, with significant portions of each country and national populations contained within the basin boundary. Estimates of the country area within the basin are shown in the table below.

Source: ORASECOM 2009
The water resources of the Orange-Senqu River basin support a large population and significant economic activities, including mining and agriculture, all of which depend on water for survival and growth. The average annual per capita availability of water in the Orange-Senqu River basin is just above 1 000 m3, categorising the region as water stressed (1 000 – 1 700 m3/year), and placing it just above chronic scarcity (500 – 1 000 m³/year.

New Years Resolutions for Business
Posted on
As I prepare for the annual Christmas break, I find myself flipping between 'finishing off' this years tasks, and excitedly planning for 2012 - SOOO many ideas, I hardly know where to start!
So, in that strange period between Christmas and New year that no-one really knows what to do with, I've decided to set aside time for reflection and actual goal setting. All the business gurus tell us to have clear goals, and indeed you probably set one when you started your current job or business. But what happens when your business is up and running or you are established in your role? Are you too busy dealing with day-to-day decisions and and actually DOING the work? When was the last time you reviewed your goals? Are you still on course? Do they still meet the needs of your customers/organisation? Are they still relevant? Do you need new ones?
Almost everyone is familiar with SMART objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound), and they can be very useful indeed. But what is your goals are not so easily defined? What if they are more personal? Well, you can still set goals...in a fashion. Defining a well-formed outcome can really help you to focus on what you want, why you want it, what will happen if you do/don't get it, and how you will know you have achieved it. They go beyond cold, hard stats and instead tap into the more emotional side of goal setting. Because of this, they tend to be something that you commit to more easily. Both types of goals are defined in detail here.
As Steven Covey states in his book 'The 7 habits of highly effectively people' - we all need to take time out occasionally to 'sharpen our saw'. So as we begin 2012, take an hour out to focus on what it is that you want to achieve. Review any old goals that you set yourself, and/or set yourself some new ones. Use the SMART criteria where you can, but why not also try defining a well-formed outcome. It may be the most worthwhile hour you have all year!
Good Luck

Thank you for your kind words over at my blog. It is a beautiful home. It was sold last year. It was a beautiful experience to live in it while I did! I now live in an apartment but plan a move into a house in the not too distant future! Glad to hear there is another 'unmopper' out there! Looks like you are at the most exciting stage of a build.... I love the planning and dreaming stage! A-M xxReplyDelete
Thanks A-M. I love the house you built and know that when you find the next project it will be even better! I agree that planning is the most exciting stage (especially now that we have a wonderful builder), and I guess that's why we've taken so long! We keep tweaking things. Even this weekend we went to check out the display home our house is based on, and fell in love with the vaulted ceilings in our builder's other display home...so it looks like we'll be asking a question or two of our draftsman on Monday morning. Not sure we'll actually get the ceilings, but it can't hurt to ask... Anyway, I love your blog, and appreciate that you stopped by mine :) Ash.ReplyDelete
Good to see that you're taking it slowly and getting all the things you'll love. The best thing you did was to sack that builder!ReplyDelete
Thanks Alaine, you are right. Sacking Rawson Homes was the best thing we ever did. Mick and I are taking a very long time with the planning because we really want to get it right. And we have time as we wait for the unit to be finished and sold. At least now the process is exciting not upsetting.ReplyDelete
The roof, bricks colours everything looks fantastic...well done!!!! Can't wait to see more posts.ReplyDelete
Thanks Sands. Hope to have more interesting things to post soon! Ash.ReplyDelete

Central to the Logan University Doctor of Chiropractic Degree program is the instruction in foundational chiropractic techniques.
Logan enjoys a long tradition of excellence in teaching Logan Basic and Reinert Diversified as core techniques. Activator Methods and Myofascial Technique have been added to the core techniques to broaden graduates' knowledge and skill. In addition, many other techniques, such as Gonstead and Thompson, remain available for students who wish to further expand their technique knowledge beyond the four core techniques.
Developed by Logan founder, H.B. Logan, DC, Logan Basic is one of the lowest-force adjustive techniques. Logan Basic Technique is a system of body mechanics with special emphasis on pelvic and spinal distortions and the subluxations that affect spinal structures. Logan Basic Technique is a light force, full-spine adjusting procedure highlighting the correction of spinal and pelvic pathobiomechanics. This year-long course emphasizes the clinical indicators of spinal distortions, postural evaluation and the utilization of spine X-ray analysis. Students also study chiropractic management of special conditions, such as scoliosis, pregnancy, pediatric care and acute and chronic spinal conditions.
Reinert Diversified Technique may be the most commonly utilized technique in the chiropractic profession. Students participate in a series of Reinert Diversified Technique courses focused initially on chiropractic terminology and conceptual models of pelvic and spinal biomechanics, and learn to analyze and label pelvic and vertebral subluxation complexes. Additionally, manual contacts, vertebral contacts, stances and patient positioning are emphasized during the laboratory portion of the course.
Activator Methods® Technique is included as a core technique at Logan. Backed by extensive published research on its effectiveness, the Activator Methods® Technique offers the doctor the flexibility to perform a chiropractic adjustment on a variety of patients, regardless of age or condition.
Myofascial Technique, a soft tissue therapy, is included as a core technique at Logan as it relaxes contracted muscles, improves circulation and stimulates the stretch reflex in muscles. This technique is important for students to learn in light of emerging evidence of the myofascial system as a body-wide communication network and its effect on overall health and wellness. Students cover a variety of concepts on various soft tissue therapies and their effect on the myofascial system. In addition, specific soft tissue techniques are offered through numerous elective courses.
ART® focuses on muscular and soft-tissue problems. It is based on research indicating that adhesions may develop within muscles and between nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue as a result of both acute and repetitive injuries. The adhesions may affect the function of muscles and change the joint motion, resulting in altered biomechanics and a variety of peripheral nerve entrapment.
P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP, developed ART®. His treat-techniques and teaching methodologies arise from his work in neuromuscular re-education and Myofascial Release. The Law of Repetitive Motion is a unifying concept, designed to explain how overuse syndromes arise from a variety of events and still fit under one paradigm. Practitioners work with various soft tissues in order to restore optimal function through the release of adhesions. The treatment approach is based on assessing the function of each muscle involved in the overuse syndrome. The technique's applications are varied and can include care of athletes, office and factory workers alike for a variety of overuse syndromes.
Advanced Activator Methods Technique is the next course of study after the core technique, Activator. Review of the prior Activator studies is included with the primary focus on further advanced methods not taught in the previous course. This class will also aid the student wishing to become Advance Certified in the technique.
The Advanced Basic Technique builds upon the Logan Basic Technique course, one of the four core courses all students take at Logan. This advanced course refines the student's understanding and skills in the application of Logan Basic Technique as an adjusting technique including an overview of other adjusting techniques and adjunct procedures, such as chiropractic physiotherapy and exercise that can have an impact on the condition known as scoliosis. Scoliosis is a complex, multifaceted systemic condition and functional and idiopathic scoliosis is the focus of the course. This is a research, evidence-based approach to the condition of scoliosis and its co-morbidities. The importance of case history, radiological, physical, neurological, orthopedic, endocrine, blood and urine exams and their results are discussed. The roles of diet and exercise are also included.
Advanced Diversified continues the Diversified Technique series. The content is designed to increase skills in patient diagnosis, treatment and management using the Diversified Technique methods. Practicing Doctors of Chiropractic present and discuss actual case studies and the outcomes.
Applied Kinesiology employs a system of muscle testing and assessment of whether certain muscles are found to be consistently weak. Based on this information and patient history, appropriate diagnostic work-ups, including lab work and X-rays, are used. George Goodheart, DC, who developed the technique, identified relationships between certain muscles and the function of corresponding organs. Especially in Europe, some medical doctors and dentists employ Applied Kinesiology to supplement diagnostic information.
Treatment with Applied Kinesiology includes chiropractic adjustments, using various techniques. Work on affected muscles and reflex systems related to affected muscles, and nutritional programs also may be used. Many practitioners feel that adjusting is easier following Applied Kinesiology muscle work, which helps balance the muscles surrounding the spine.
The Flexion-Distraction adjustment procedure and an adjusting table enhanced and developed by James M. Cox, DC, DACBR, are based on a distractive force (supplied with the contact hand) combined with table motion. The Cox table is designed to restore normal physiological range of motion to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal joints. Flexion-Distraction manipulation is a gentle, non-force adjusting procedure that works with the body's natural design to aid it in healing properly.
Additional goals of the flexion-distraction adjustment include transfer of metabolites into the spinal disc, decreasing intradiscal pressures and decompressing inflamed/compressed spinal nerve roots. Three government-funded grants totaling over $2 million dollars have been awarded for the study of this technique.
The Gonstead system was developed in 1923 by the late Clarence S. Gonstead, DC. The system uses visual examination, motion and static palpation, instrumentation and full-spine X-rays to determine, with accuracy and precision, where, what, when and how to adjust to obtain specific and consistent results.
The Gonstead system utilizes the full-spine approach with emphasis on the subluxation/compensation mechanism and the level disc concept. Heavy emphasis is placed on differentiating between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and the symptoms related to each. This assists the chiropractor in the quest to find and correct the specific subluxation. Specific equipment, including the Knee Chest, Pelvic Bench, Hylo Tables and the Cervical Chair, is utilized in the application of the adjustive technique.
All chiropractic students are required to learn the Gonstead listing system, which describes body mechanics and the specific direction of vertebral subluxations. This system is included in state and national chiropractic board exams.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is an intense hands-on study of soft tissue treatment utilizing state-of-the-art tools to mobilize aberrant soft tissue issues such as adhesions and scar tissue throughout the entire body. Soft tissue as an adjunctive method is also discussed.The course includes all equipment.
SOT developer Bertrand DeJarnette, DC, was a wealthy former engineer who used much of his fortune funding research on why chiropractic works. Dr. DeJarnette concluded that structural changes affecting the dura can affect any area of the spine. The dura covers the entire central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord). Dr. DeJarnette based his conclusions in part on the fact that adjusting one segment of the spine may bring about a change in another area of the spine.
Dr. DeJarnette was interested in research showing that cranial bones move and theorized that structural changes of the cranial bones could affect the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. Thus, SOT addresses positioning of the cranial bones, using a method known as craniopathy.
"Blocking," the method preferred by many SOT practitioners for addressing pelvic subluxations, involves blocks placed beneath the pelvis, with the patient lying face-up. The goal is to normalize joint positions on both sides of the spine simultaneously. SOT integrates with other chiropractic systems, allowing for use of a variety of techniques within the SOT system. Practitioners also often provide nutritional counseling to patients.
Developed by Clay Thompson, DC, Thompson Technique uses an adjusting table with a pneumatically driven, segmented drop system, which quickly lowers the section of the patient's body corresponding with the spinal region being adjusted. The doctor thrusts at high speed, using minimal force, because while the thrust initiates movement, the fast drop carries the joint through the remainder of its range of motion.
Leg length checks, palpation, X-rays and other appropriate tests are used by the Thompson practitioner in determining where to adjust. Dr. Thompson was the personal physician of chiropractic founder B.J. Palmer, DC. However, unlike the Palmers, Dr. Thompson advocated adjustments addressing any joint dysfunctions, in the spine and in extremities.
Upper Cervical Specific Technique, developed by chiropractic founder D.D. Palmer, DC and refined by his son, B.J. Palmer, DC, focuses on the Atlas Subluxation Complex (ASC). The complex is usually considered to include the three osseous components at the top of the human spine: The Occiput (skull, or CO), the Atlas (Cl) and the Axis (C2). The technique focuses on specific corrections to the structure of the Atlas complex to restore correct structure to it and thus, to promote optimal function of nerves related to the complex.
Upper Cervical Specific is a toggle recoil technique, in which the adjustment establishes motion, following the proper line of correction, and the segment finds its natural position innately. Upper Cervical Specific procedures differ from techniques that utilize Gonstead listings in that Upper Cervical's 12 atlas and eight axis listings (misalignments) are compared relative to the foramen magnum (the opening in the bones at the base of the skull).

NPD Group: Holidays Will Be Good for Prestige Beauty
"New data from the NPD Group on the state of the U.S. beauty market is noting a boost in year-to-date sales over 2014 to highlight the segment's strength headed into the holiday season. Prestige beauty sales for January to September are up 8% over the same period last year — led by fragrances, makeup and skin care. 'What's driving the industry today has changed; fragrance sales are dynamic in core components like juices, while gift sets are becoming less prominent,' NPD Group's global beauty industry analyst Karen Grant said."
