2 Fluid Planning: A Meaningless Concept or a Rational Response to Uncertainty in Urban Planning? Torill Nyseth Department of Sociology, Political Science and Community Planning University of Tromsø Norway 1. Introduction Many contemporary writers have developed and elaborated upon various fluid metaphors to capture aspects of contemporary social life (Urry, 2000). Flows and fluidity are some of the catchwords in social, cultural, and urban thinking that is used as building blocks in theorizing contemporary trends with a focus on process, connectivity, and mobility at the expense of the previous focus on boundedness, hierarchy, and form (Simonsen, 2004: 1333).
Noone has bothered to adorn it: it is simply the reverse side. ] 64 65 Robert Venturi had taught city In his urban-design classic, Learning from Las Vegas, planners the significance of the urban ugly, not as a quality to be subjected to acceptance or rejection, but as an urban feature from which one can learn to produce a successful city-form. Venturi's observations of Las Vegas are mainly those of an automobile driver. In similar vein Sartre's Nausea should be seen as a secular guide to walking.
8. Myth of the Rational City A hybrid evolving in geographical space and in historical time, the mind-city composite has given rise to the myth of the Rational City, and with it, to twentieth century city-form of the superscale featuring the urban superconscious as its own psychosocial trait. This latest transmutation of the myth of the ideal city can be viewed as constituting a transition stage of urban environments that were built to perform through mechanically structured time. This transition stage, expressed in Apollonian adherence to an ideal-city concept of structured temporality has led the contemporary city-form to the verge of urban dysfunction.

"But to me nothing – the negative, the empty – is exceedingly powerful"
Alan Watts
I don't know how many individuals can sense the peculiarity that grips the world. Some people will say the system is broken but the system was never broke. It was built this way.
The question; "Who" or "What" built the chaos.
It's a game of hide and seek. The inability to comprehend doesn't come from willful ignorance but from a filtering process, induced forgetfulness, self hypnotized, a spell has been cast and the totality of everything has been reduced to limited understanding in a sense that the whole is simply not remembered. So the game is to hide by forgetting and to seek by remembering.
To understand the whole, information must unfold, it has to come from within and over this process we have no control, thus, true understanding is gained intuitively, it is not something that can be learned in a classroom, or studied in a book. It comes from within like all information.
The visible universe is an artefact that has unfolded from the imagination of a vast intelligence that is aware of itself, this is the "real" nature of reality. This intelligence is infinite in potential, its power unlimited. It has no boundaries, no borders and no limitation, other than what it imposes upon itself. There is nothing outside of this realness because it is everything, in all directions, everywhere and every-when.
IT has imagined finite and limited reflections of itself, it has been divided into separate parts. We, us, you, me, as limited points of awareness represent a collective division as in we are the reflections in the hall of mirrors. These illusory reflections have been hidden from the realness from which they sprang. This realness is not God, as God is an aspect of its imagination. It is also not the universe because the universe is another part of its imaginings. It's not the Akashic records, this is simply a name for the totality of the information that this IS. All imaginings are an artefact, made real in an lucid sense. It is an elaborate illusion.
IT knows. It understands. It senses change. It senses changes in the stillness of itself, thus motion springs from the stillness and the artefacts spin into animation, movement becomes the cosmic effect while motionlessness remains the hidden cause. The cause is an indefinable substance which we wrongly term energy as energy is simply an expression of ITS presence, it is evidence of its indestructible and everlasting nature, its a signature, a calling card, a breadcrumb in the game of rediscovery.
IT is infinite ocean of crystal clear water – an expanse that has no boundaries, no shores, no bottom or surface, simply water extending in all directions. Within this ocean are expressions, bubbles, and each bubble represents an idea, a universal reality, and within each universal reality are more bubbles that represent an idea, a galactic reality, within each galactic reality are more bubbles that represent an idea, a planetary reality, and within each planetary reality are more bubbles that represent an idea, a Human reality, and within the Human reality are cellular realities and then quantum realities until the whole idea completes the sacred circle.
IT is the zero point of energy, the ultimate source, the basement of all creation, the root of being, and the ocean from which all waves rise to be observed. Numbers are a useful way of expressing the nature of this ultimate being as they manifest from within its entirety and therefore mirror its potential. As with the number system, the entirety of this infinite awareness represents wholeness, thus, zero is the point of creation from which all other numbers emerge and return;
Zero represents the eternal womb within which a universe (9) is created. The process is like that of a Rose blossoming and the numbers that emerge represent the complex growth pattern as expressed through Golden Ratios and Fibonacci sequences. Thus nature expands from within, it unfolds, it grows… it doesn't assemble ready made parts but emerges from the ocean of realness as an expression that gradually becomes more complicated as an illusory work of art to be observed, thus experienced.
When we reverse engineer the human body we see that it is a living organism consisting of electrochemical systems which are made up of organs constructed from tissue, the tissue is built from cells, cells from molecules, molecules from atoms, atoms from indivisible pieces of matter known as positive ions and negative electrons which float freely in the vast infinitude of the zero medium. This fundamental state of matter is known as plasma.
The space between an atomic nucleus and its orbiting electrons is vast, if scaled up to the size of a marble, an atomic nucleus would find its closest electron field slightly more than two miles away. Thus, at a fundamental level of this great illusion, the building blocks believed to "clump" together to form matter of all shapes and sizes essentially consists of space. There is no solidity at the foundations of reality.
The unseen force which was known by ancient Tibetans as the Great Transformer, or Fohat, moves and creates motion where stillness exists and brings into play the world of illusion that has been dreamed by the ultimate dreamer. As Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C said:
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become"

There is no doubt that vaping is not just a process of making huge clouds or tasting nice flavors, but it is also important to know more information about this phenomenon. There are some things you need to consider while using e-cigarettes, while there are also some things you don`t need to do. Therefore, we have a full list for you with some do`s and don`ts. They will help you stay safe and enjoy vaping all the time.
The Do's of Vaping
Inform Yourself (Come On! You know that knowledge is power!)
On the internet, you can find tons of pages with all sort of vaping information. With just a few clicks you will be able to find more details regarding the vaping life in general or regarding a certain product in detail. Moreover, alongside just vaping, there are also some rules for instance that you have to check. Vaporizers and e-cigarettes are not the same thing!
You need to know if it is legal to vape in an airport or in a restaurant. There are even countries where vaping is illegal. So keep yourself informed and up to date just to make sure you will not encounter unpleasant situations. Be sure to trust reliable sources when reading important information.
Quality is Very Important When Purchasing Mods
It is true that the vape market has exploded in recent years. Therefore, any person can find a wide range of different products, from kits to simple mods or accessories. So this wide market can confuse people who want to purchase a quality product.
In case you ask yourself what makes a quality vaping device, there are some important facts you can consider. For instance, you can read reviews from reliable sources that will tell you the details of a certain mod before purchasing it. Reviewers are quite objective and they tell others the cons and pros of any mod in particular. There are even review pages that provide a top of the best mods or best producers.
You can also choose to purchase a mod from a well-known brand that is cherished for the quality provided. Therefore, quality e-cigarettes will be suitable for you to use it for a long time.
Experiment a Lot and Have Fun
Vaping is also about fun, so you have the freedom to experiment a lot. This means you can change flavors, you can even make your own liquids at home.
You can check the different settings of your mod and just enjoy them. After a while, you will be able to personalize it after your needs and you will know exactly what to do for a great vaping experience. You can even learn some tricks for fun (and for impressing your friends.).
Take Care of Your Mod
Of course, you will want your mod to last for a long time. Therefore take care of your mod and all the components that come along with it. For instance, keep the extra batteries in a case, just to make sure that they will stay safe for when you will need them.
Periodically, you can clean the mod and check it for any cracks in case you dropped it. Weather is also an important factor that can influence the good working of your mod. So just keep the device away from direct sunlight or from extreme temperatures either when it`s very hot or it`s very cold. On the same time, keep your mod away from water as it could easily kill the mod.
The Don'ts of Vaping
Don't Treat Vaping Exactly Like Smoking
Still, there are many people who think that vaping is very similar to smoking. But for sure you know it is not. Smoking and vaping are two distinct phenomena, therefore a person cannot pursue the same rules for the two. For example, don`t assume that a person who smokes will also like the vapors your create.
Also, don`t assume that if you are allowed to smoke in a place, you are also allowed to vape and vice-versa. It is easier to ask before recurring to any action. In this way, you will enjoy your vaping without getting into trouble.
Don't Use Improper Batteries
Don't use your laptop 18650 cells just because they fit. as this thing can ruin the quality of your mod and also it is very dangerous. Cells made for vaping devices have a higher discharge. Always aim for top quality batteries, for instance, Sony VTC 5, VTC 5A and VTC 6.
Don't Neglect the Symptoms of Your Mod
There are many situations when the mod can encounter some problems into working properly. Therefore do not neglect any problem you may notice, even though it`s a tiny little one. For example, in case your atomizer doesn`t heat up in a quick way, or if it doesn`t light up, you can consider the possibility to check the coil and maybe replacing it.
Don`t put too much juice in your atomizer. On the other hand, don`t let the atomizer run out of e-liquid as the atomizer might heat up in a fast way and it will burn your cotton/coils. All these details are important for the vaping process to be a quality one.
Now that you know what to do and what not to do, we are sure that vaping will be more pleasant for you! Just take good care of yourself and your mod and, most of all, have fun! Keep yourself informed and up to date regarding vaping!

Walking up to meet my non tinder date, God I hope I recognize him.
Oh my… I was clearly hammered when we met. I remember him being much better looking than this. Fuck!
Hopefully he has something nice planned to detract from the awfulness of how this date is going to go.
We are not even at our date destination yet and I'm already mentally deciding that I'm only staying for an hour out of politeness. As he signals me into the pub for drinks, not just any pub, my local pub and the one where he works – Great! (more…)

Amos Chapter 4 | Parsha:
1Hear this word, you cows of Bashan
On the hill of Samaria—
Who defraud the poor,
Who rob the needy;
Who say to your husbands,
"Bring, and let's carouse!"
2My Lord God swears by His holiness:
Behold, days are coming upon you
When you will be carried off in baskets,
And, to the last one, in fish baskets,
3And taken out [of the city]—
Each one through a breach straight ahead—
And flung on the refuse heap
—declares the Lord.
4Come to Bethel and transgress;
To Gilgal, and transgress even more:
Present your sacrifices the next morning
And your tithes on the third day;
5And burn a thank offering of leavened bread;
And proclaim freewill offerings loudly.
For you love that sort of thing, O Israelites
—declares my Lord God.
6I, on My part, have given you
Cleanness of teeth in all your towns,
And lack of food in all your settlements.
Yet you did not turn back to Me
—declares the Lord.
7I therefore withheld the rain from you
Three months before harvesttime:
I would make it rain on one town
And not on another;
One field would be rained upon
While another on which it did not rain
Would wither.
8So two or three towns would wander
To a single town to drink water,
But their thirst would not be slaked.
Yet you did not turn back to Me
—declares the Lord.
9I scourged you with blight and mildew;
Repeatedly your gardens and vineyards,
Your fig trees and olive trees
Were devoured by locusts.
Yet you did not turn back to Me
—declares the Lord.
10I sent against you pestilence
In the manner of Egypt;
I slew your young men with the sword,
Together with your captured horses,
And I made the stench of your armies
Rise in your very nostrils.
Yet you did not turn back to Me
—declares the Lord.
11I have wrought destruction among you
As when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah;
You have become like a brand plucked from burning.
Yet you have not turned back to Me
—declares the Lord.
Because I am doing that to you,
Even so will I act toward you, O Israel—
Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
He who formed the mountains,
And created the wind,
And has told man what His wish is,
Who turns blackness into daybreak,
And treads upon the high places of the earth—
His name is the Lord, the God of Hosts.

Yes, I'm sick again. Yes, this is the 5th time this year. Yes, it seems like I'm "always sick", as my friends feel the need to remind me. And yes, this is screwing with my run plans!
I don't want to point fingers…. but those germy roommates of ours seem to be the ones getting us sick. They touch and liick public surfaces and then stick their fingers in their mouths. They then become these lovely little petri dishes of growing germs that eventually gets me or the spouse (or both of us) sick. But whadaya gonna do? They're our kids and kids get sick. Do I think that it's a coincidence that Ryan Hall and Shalane Flanagan don't have kids while they're in their running prime? No, I don't.
And of course I just got an email from the run group coach reminding all of us to meet at a different location today so we can do the hill workout. Damn! I wanted to do that! And the weather today is amazing! Not for tourists but for locals. It's overcast and cool. Perfect run weather. Damn. Damn. Damn. Naturally this would be a fun run day and with perfect weather to boot. I am sitting here contemplating going anyway. Sure, I felt dizzy a second ago when I stood up, but that could just be…. something else.
Anyway, this is Week 3 in my marathon training. Not sure if I mentioned it but until I get my official plan from this new run group, I'm going off the Hal Higdon plan for marathon training – Novice 1. I debated starting on Novice 2 since I had come off a season of half marathons, but I feel that I need to start my training down low and build back up properly. I did too many halfs this year without training properly, going from zero to 13.1 and it can't have been good for my body. This Novice 1 plan allows me finish the training and maybe even add another long run at the end before MCM. But, as I said with my last post, the run group runs longer on some of the days than my plan says, so I'm actually doing more miles total than Higdon's plan.
Last week I ran 18 miles total. (My Marine Corps Marathon race buddy ran 18 miles on Sunday alone!) I feel good about it. It's the most I've run in a week in a long long time. And everything felt good. Paces were faster than my paces when I last did this sort of training about a year ago. Now if only I can shake this sickness in time to make sure I get this week's mileage in, I'll be a happy runner.

A FLAGSHIP £30 million scheme to transform the historic Birmingham Mint building into luxury flats has been halted after bank bosses pulled the plug on funding.
Dozens of contractors are owed cash and investors. who snapped up every one of the 186 apartments before the building had started at the site in Hockley, face an anxious wait to hear whether work will continue. Developers Junared stopped the project six weeks before Christmas when they were told that the Bank of Scotland was no longer willing to bankroll the building.
The Birmingham Mail reported last week how the same bank had left a city developer owing more than £2 million after it withheld funding for three months before finally backing out of the deal. The £24 million Horizon block of flats in Sheldon is in the hands of administrators after White Fire Developments was forced to fold when Bank of Scotland axed cash payments.
But the building managers appointed by Junared today said that they were confident that The Mint would be completed but did not have a date when work would restart.
