Silicon Valley
What does it cost to buy a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in the West Valley areas of Silicon Valley?
It can be really challenging for people moving to Silicon Valley to get a sense of pricing for home buying. So to compare "apples to apples," let's take a hypothetical case of a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home of approximately 2,000 SF house (appx 185 square meters) and see how the cost looks in one area versus another.
Today I compared several areas and cities using the same formula: homes of 1800 – 2200 SF, 3-5 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, on lot sizes of 6000 SF to 10,000 SF that have sold within the last 90 days (120 days when there's less inventory). Here's how it shakes out in the "west valley areas" along the Highway 85 corridor. What areas are most affordable? One way of analyzing this is the "price per square foot" figure. How competitive is it? Have a look at the DOM or "Days on Market" figure. All of these days on market are short, but they range from low to heart-skipping fast. Please also note that while most of these numbers are working on a handful of sales, Saratoga had only one over the last 3 months that fit the criteria, so the data may not be as accurate in that row.
How much have prices changed? That really depends on where you live, or where you want to live. Below is a flashback to March 2017. Do you notice the difference in ordering? A couple of markets have switched places, Sunnyvale and Saratoga, but there's not too much different. For the most part, rankings have changed very little.
This next chart was from last March.
In most cases, the most expensive and desirable places have either the best schools or shortest commute location. Had I ranked these for school scores, you'd find that Cambrian is fairly high up and a good "bang for the buck" location – though not a super short commute for folks who work in Mountain View (though not so bad for people working in Cupertino). None of these is especially close to North San Jose (Cisco).
What about a little longer term? What did this look like in 2013? Click through to see. Continue reading
Moving to Silicon Valley in fall or winter? A few things to know.
If you are moving to Silicon Valley, whether San Mateo or Santa Clara County, you should know that things are a little different in fall and winter than they are in spring and summer. Here are just a few areas that might not be intuitively obvious to the newcomers.
First, a word on appearance. In Santa Clara County, we have two primary sets of hills – one closer to the Pacific Ocean and Monterey Bay (west side), and one closer to central California (east side). Because our local weather is dominated in very large part by the Pacific Ocean, much of the weather blows in from the coast. A lot of the rain gets dumped in the coastal range, also known as the Santa Cruz Mountains. Less makes it all the way to Los Gatos, less still to downtown San Jose, and a much smaller amount to the east foothills and places such as Alum Rock Park. The coastal range (also called just "the hill" by locals) is green year round as it is full of redwoods and other trees which love the moisture. The east side, though, is more grassy, fewer trees, and gets far less rain. In winter the grasses are a lovely green. With drought or in summer, however, the grass turns brown or pale yellow.
For people coming from the east coast, the hills there are more likely green in summer and brown in winter. Here, though, it is the opposite. We don't usually get rain in summer, so the grasses die and the hills go brown.
Rain, when we get normal patterns, usually begins in November and comes and goes between then and late April. In a typical year, San Jose gets 15-20″ of rain (Los Gatos more, the Los Gatos Mountains much much more). If we get an El Nino pattern year, temps will be warmer than usual and rain will be much more common than typical. It's not much fun to have an El Nino year, but right now we desperately need the rain, so folks here are all hoping for it.
Second, a word on roads and travel. Silicon Valley enjoys a sub-tropical climate with mild temperatures and not too much rain, even in a normal year. With very little rain most of the time, our streets and highways can develop a dusty, oily film. Whenever we get rain after a dry spell, those highways and roads can be slicker than you might expect. It's not that we need a ton of rain for the surfaces to become more slippery, either. A very small amount of precipitation can do the trick, so be careful!
If your destination requires going over "the hill", be triply careful! Too many people, whether regular commuters or first time adventurers, either tailgate or drive too fast, and it can make it too easy for accidents to happen when a little weather is added into the mix. Continue reading
What does it cost to buy a 3-5 bedroom house in an area with good schools in Silicon Valley?
It's a hot seller's market in Silicon Valley, but it's also a time of great job growth here! Each week I get calls or emails from people considering job offers in Cupertino, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Menlo Park, San Jose and nearby. Many of these recruits are interested in areas with superior public schools.
What's the cost of buying a house of about 2,000 square feet with 3-5 bedrooms and great schools? A few communities with better education are these: Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Palo Alto. We'll consider these to provide a sense of prices in similar areas.
Here's a quick look at what single family homes have been selling for over the last three months:
- Los Gatos: mostly $1,200,000 to $2,200,000 depending on the school district, averaging about $1,700,000
- Saratoga: mostly $1,400,000 to $2,300,000 depending on the school district, averaging about $1,900,000
- Cupertino: mostly $1,700,000 to $2,100,000 depending on the school district, averaging about $1,950,000
- Palo Alto: mostly $2,000,000 to $3,300,000 depending on the school district, averaging about $2,650,000
If you are new to Santa Clara County, you may be wondering if this is correct. It is…

San Francisco and Silicon Valley unemployment rates
The San Francisco and Silicon Valley unemployment rates are a huge driver of the SF Bay Area's housing market. Today I saw real estate market info from the California Association of Realtor's chief economist, Leslie Appleton-Young. One of her slides makes plain why the Silicon Valley real estate market is so crazy: our unemployment rate is extremely low, behind only San Francisco (where trying to buy a home is even worse than on the Peninsula or South Bay). Have a look at the data by California metro area:
San Francisco and Silicon Valley unemployment rates
As you can see, San Francisco has a screaming hot jobs market with only 3.4% unemployment. The San Jose metro area is only slightly cooler at 4.1%. (Unfortunately there are no "Cliff Notes" to tell where the San Francisco Metro Area ends and where the San Jose Metro Area begins – so I cannot tell if San Mateo County is lumped in with Santa Clara County to the south or San Francisco County and City to the north.)
With all this hiring going on, it's no wonder that a frequent topic of conversation is Silicon Valley traffic patterns and congestion. A few years ago, the rush hour traffic in the morning went from about 6:30 or 7am to 9am, and the evening commute times were about 4 to 7pm. Today both are extended. I find that Highway 85 in the "west valley" areas along Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Cupertino tends to still be pretty thick with cars even at 10am. The return trip from Palo Alto (where I have some doctors at Stanford Hospital) can be sluggish as early as 3pm.
Worsening traffic from low Silicon Valley unemployment rates means that Silicon Valley real estate is even more expensive than usual for close-in locations. Many San Jose area commuters spend an hour driving into work in the morning and 75 or 90 minutes driving home in the evening (for reasons I don't understand, the evening commute is quite a bit worse than the morning one). That translates to home prices being much, much more expensive than you'd expect in places like Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. For a better quality of life, Silicon Valley employees will often pay dearly to get that shorter commute. If they can get the smaller commute and great public schools, the communities are the most expensive places to live, as is the case in Palo Alto, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills in particular.

Silicon Valley desirability for tech workers may hinge on age
Just read an interesting article on how important tech workers feel it is to live in Silicon Valley: Is Silicon Valley Still the Top Tech Hub? This piece reports on a survey done by Indeed Prime which found that many high tech workers do not believe that living in Silicon Valley is all that important for their careers. For all those polled, 68.3% said that living here is either "not that important" or "not at all important."
I can almost hear local old timers saying "great, maybe we'll get our calm environment back if they all go to Seattle, New York, or Austin!"
So what is happening? High housing costs do scare people off of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Jose and nearby specifically. Recently, my 26 year old son (in high tech also – he's a video game designer currently getting a master's in that field) informed me that many of his old high school friends don't feel like they'll ever be able to afford to live here. And they are all well employed. I can see that, and it's terribly sad.
But I don't think you can blame the lack of attachment by tech workers generally to Silicon Valley real estate prices, because the attachment to living in the Santa Clara Valley is not uniform across all types of tech workers.
Further into this article, there's a breakdown by age – and here it gets interesting. Many younger high tech folks find value in being here, but the interest wanes as the workers age (that could be due to housing and the availability of other alternative locations for work).
For those thinking that having a job in Silicon Valley is important or very important, the generational breakdown is as follows:
Millennials 45.5%
Gen X 32.5%
Baby Boomers 10.2%
Will we see a trend toward a younger, more transient population here? Time will tell. But the other places luring Silicon Valley talent share some of our same challenges. Alternative locations for high tech careers include New York (not known for being inexpensive) and Boston (also fairly pricey) as well as more affordable locations such as Austin (where prices have been going through the roof), Seattle (also seeing extremely steep appreciation in real estate costs), Washington DC, Atlanta, and Demver.
It is a very interesting bit of research and I encourage my readers to check it out.
Video clarifying Silicon Valley vs San Francisco
This video is pretty good overall, though it misses some areas which are part of Silicon Valley, mispronounces the names of many areas, and refers to Gordon Moore as George Moore. Despite some errors, it's entertaining and brief, and I think newcomers will find it helpful as an intro to the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley regions of California.
Silicon Valley Homes for sale in Gated Communities
Looking for Silicon Valley homes for sale in gated communities? They are nearly non-existent in Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Alameda County, and Santa Cruz County. But what we do have can be viewed at the search results below. The largest in San Jose will be on the east side in Evergreen – Silver Creek Valley Country Club, and nearby, a retirement community known as The Villages. On the west side there's Rinconada Hills in Los Gatos, Rancho Deep Cliff in Cupertino, and a few places in south county as well as smaller condo complexes scattered throughout the valley.
By the way, you can "move" the map with your mouse and see what else is available in adjacent parts of Silicon Valley

Relocating to San Jose
Are you mulling over a job opportunity in the tech capital of the world, Silicon Valley? If you're relocating to San Jose, or nearby, there are a few helpful things to know right away. Here's a quick primer:
- San Jose is located at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay, so is part of the SF Bay Metro Area (and is about 1 hour south of San Francisco, which locals call The City)
- This sprawling city has a number of different districts or communities. There are also quite a few school districts – school lines are not based on city or zip code boundaries.
- The beach at Santa Cruz is anywhere from 30 – 60 minutes away from most of San Jose (assuming you don't go at the peak of "beach traffic" timing on a weekend or holiday).
- San Jose is also the home of Silicon Valley, which began here in Santa Clara County, but has now spread throughout the area
- This city is the 10th largest in the United States (though poll most people who aren't in The Golden State and they couldn't tell you where it is). The population recently hit the 1 million mark. The county has about 1.9 million people and the Silicon Valley region (Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, and a little each of Santa Cruz County and Alameda County)
- Home prices are just about the highest in the nation. The average price of a house in the area is $1 million. And that is not for
- a big home, in most cases. Sticker shock is the #1 reason why some people won't move here – and why others move away. Rents are, similarly, high. It's not uncommon to hear of people spending half their income on housing.
- Weather is often ideal – 300 sunny days per year, so you won't need that basement if you're coming from someplace with long, cold winters. Winter here is pretty much just December and January, and even in January you'll see some trees pop alive with beautiful blossoms.
- San Jose has frequently been named the best place to raise a kid. Just google that 🙂
- Next to housing or real estate prices, traffic is the second biggest complaint.

What's that smell? Odor problems in some communities
Odor problems are a sensitive topic, whether you're talking about someone just in from exercising or a whole town or neighborhood. Home for sale with a periodic stench? That won't be listed in the MLS, and it may be down played in the disclosures. This can be very upsetting if you learn it only after you move in.
The most common issues in Santa Clara County seem to relate to either agricultural areas, food processing, or sewer / sewage processing. Other issues can be at dumps, areas with standing water (bad idea as this can breed disease bearing mosquitos), and food or other consumable processing plants (not common in Silicon Valley). A brewery or coffee roasting plant can be stinky at times. Get downwind of any of these and it may be unpleasant. On a much smaller scale, it's possible to have a bad neighbor who creates an odor nuisance, making life unpleasant. I've had clients tell me of neighbors who "go out to their back yard and smoke pot every day", making my client's back yard an unpleasant place and nearly unusable. Other bad neighbor problems can be from yards with too many pets and not enough cleanup, or poor composting.
For folks relocating to Silicon Valley, though, it's important to be aware of smelly or potentially smelly areas. The locals know about them – and you should, too.
Gilroy, in the "south county" area, is well known as the Garlic Capital of the World. There's a Garlic Festival late each July. To be sure, the smell is strong when the garlic ripens in the field. I can often smell it all the way in Los Gatos on a warm summer morning! The smell is also strong when it's getting processed at the plant along Highway 152. Gilroy has a nice downtown area and is more affordable than most of Santa Clara County. It enjoys a Caltrain stop so offers an easier commute than most places in the San Jose area.
Morgan Hill, just a little north of Gilroy, but also in south county, has a mushroom festival (the Mushroom Mardi Gras in late May each year). Mushrooms are a super food but mushroom farms smell pretty awful. Currently, there are 3 mushroom farms in Morgan Hill. Buying in that beautiful city? Visit the area many times, at different times of the day and week. Talk to neighbors and see if you can find out if this is an issue for them – I want to note that it is not a problem everywhere. Morgan Hill is also more affordable than most of the San Francisco Bay Area, also includes a very nice downtown, and features a Caltrain stop too. (I'm told that Google and Apple buses have stops there as well.)
Milpitas, on the northeast end of the county, sometimes has problems from the wind carrying smells from a landfill near the bay on the east side of Alviso. There's also a sewer processing plant in the same general area that may be contributing to the challenge. It's bad enough that there's a whole website dedicated to this problem: http://milpitas-odor.info/ This smell is not confined to just Milpitas but may be experienced in adjacent areas such as Alviso, north San Jose, northern Santa Clara, and southern Fremont, but Milpitas appears to get the brunt of it. Milpitas has really strong public schools, is "close in" and convenient for many commuters, and is not as expensive as communities on the west side of the valley with similarly high scoring schools. It's a very good "bang for your buck" in terms of the amount of home / school you get for your money. But the odor problems have been enormous ones over the years.
The Shoreline park in Mountain View was a landfill at one time, and years ago was well known to have issues with smells and also with spontaneous combustion fires that began as the gas from composting materials somehow lit. That was almost 20 years ago and the situation has been corrected for many years now. (You can read more on that here.)
There's a landfill in the Almaden area of San Jose near the Los Gatos border, the Guadalupe Landfill (that area was originally a mercury mine). I'm not aware of odor problems coming from this one, but due to Milpitas's ongoing nightmare with bad smells, some of the waste that might have gone to the Newby Island landfill will now be going to Guadalupe, starting in late 2017.
What can a newby to Silicon Valley do?
First, read the disclosures very, very carefully. Often home buyers breeze through them and don't ask probing questions on what something means. A seller may write "occasional agricultural odors" and that doesn't sound too bad. What if that means half the time, you cannot miss the mushroom farm? Ask questions to get more info on the disclosure answers. And talk to neighbors as well as local real estate agents.
Second, learn where these items are located, if local: food processing plants, water processing plants, landfills, farms, ranches, homes with farm animals (if any). You might be surprised that in Silicon Valley you could have a 4-H neighbor who's raising a goat or some other type of animal – it may smell or be noisy! In my east Los Gatos neighborhood, I was surprised that a neighbor about 5 houses away had goats for 4-H, and glad they weren't any closer!

Nuori Skincare
The new Danish brand focuses on freshness
Having only entered the US this year, Nuori is a fresh face aiming to point out an important topic: how many other skincare brands spend billions of dollars figuring out how to extend their products as long as possible—by months, even years. Taking a different route, Nuori makes their products in Denmark, in small batches every 12 weeks, to keep active, 100% naturally derived ingredients potent without ever adding artificial preservatives. All of this makes for a more effective, skin-friendly product; the remarkable texture and little-to-no scent are extra bonuses.
The boxes stamped with a "Start Using By" date (sorry hoarders, but you want to know you're using ingredients at peak efficacy) and the product themselves bear an expiry date at the bottom of the bottles. Items purchased now read "Start Using By 22 January 2017," for example, and should be finished by 16 April 2017. This distinguishes Nuori from department store skincare counters—who knows how long that $200 face cream has been in storage? (Founder Jasmi Bonnén notes that most skincare products are formulated to last at least two years or longer).
The packaging—with hints of yellow—is noticeably more durable to fend off exposure to air, light, bacteria and mold; it's the work of Copenhagen- and New York-based studio NR2154. And as with most Scandinavian-inspired design, the minimalist and gender-neutral aesthetic makes it a product to leave proudly on the boudoir, rather than hidden away in a drawer.
The streamlined—not overwhelming at all—line-up includes one of every essential face and body product: one face cream, one cleanser, one eye cream, one body balm and more. Nuori's latest addition is the just-launched Supreme Moisture Mask, an intense rinse-off or overnight treatment. And it couldn't be better timing for those of us on the East Coast, shocked by the sudden arrival of cold, harsh wintry winds.
Shop Nuori products online and from stockists around the world like ABC Carpet & Home and Portland's Spruce Apothecary.

We frequently suggest coffee made via pour over because, frankly, it's just such an awesome means of preparation. Here at HubBub, we specifically use Chemex brand coffee makers to carefully extract the different flavors, both subtle and boisterous, from the single origin coffees that we are so proud to be able to offer you. Not only are Chemexes wonderfully simple (and purely analog, which can be refreshing in this day and age of elaborate digi coffee making gadgetry), they are also beautifully designed objects that possess a certain quiet dignity.
And when it comes to function, the Chemex allows anyone with some time, a good grinder, a scale and a timer to mess around with several of the most important controllable coffee brewing factors. Our philosophy is that coffee is about what you like - not what someone else tells you to like - so in that spirit, the Chemex (and its friends the scale and the grinder) is the best.
While you might associate this smooth hourglass with Third Wave coffee, the Chemex has actually been around for quite a long time. Peter Schlumbohm, a German-born scientist and inventor, invented the Chemex in 1941. As a chemist, Schlumbohm spent a lot of time in laboratories, and later, when envisioning a new way of making coffee, he called upon the precise and exacting tools that he'd used to filter and extract things in the lab. He modified a standard glass lab funnel and an Erlenmeyer flask, fused them into one object made of heatproof glass, cinched its waist with a glossy wooden handle, and voila! The Chemex was born.
The Chemex became a popular appliance in households throughout the 1950's and 60's, which was reflected in movies and TV: Mary Tyler Moore had one in her kitchen on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and James Bond used a Chemex in the movie From Russia, With Love! The elegance of the Chemex's design was not lost on high culture, either - it is part of the permanent collection in the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, the Corning Museum, and our very own Philadelphia Museum of Art. After Peter Schlumbohm's death in 1962, noted design writer Ralph Caplan eulogized that the Chemex was "one of the few modern designs for which one can feel affection as well as admiration." We think it's pretty incredible that nearly 75 years later, coffee aficionados the world over are still smitten with this brewing method.
If you're ever looking to add a Chemex to your kitchen set up, please note that all HubBub locations now sell both Chemex and the conical Chemex paper filters, which are much heavier than normal paper filters and filter out sediment, fats and oils. It is a truly stellar tool and we don't want to keep it all to ourselves! But if you're looking for a hand knit Chemex cozy, well...you'll have to look to Etsy for that.

If it's only been a little over a month then don't get them anything really expensive. Probably the best thing to get him/her is a big stuffed animal with some candy and maybe something cute he/she would like or something he/she needs. Like my boyfriend knows that I like this certain kind of body spray so he bought me some of that. So, probably a stuffed animal, maybe candy, and possibly something they would like at the moment, but that is not too expensive. And this should all be under 60 dollars.
Well they probably don't even think you guys are going out. If they haven't asked you out then that means that he/she would only be assuming you guys were in a relationship but it wouldn't be official. So he/she probably not your boyfriend/girlfriend cause you haven't officially asked him/her to be your boyfriend/girlfriend. It's only an assumption right now.
Yes, definitely ask him/her. Guys can ask the girl out or the girl can ask the guy out. It really can go either way. So if you feel it's the right time then ask him/her out and let him/her know that you consider what you guys have to be a relationship.
$50 can go a long way if you spend it wisely. I wonder what the reasons are for you saying that clothes, music and movies are out of the question. Was that a part of the gift-giving deals you two made?
Very often people choose gifts based on their own likes, as opposed to those of their loved ones, and gifts chosen that way are rarely a success. Sometimes they could even be perceived as a negative comment.
As I always tell people that ask me for gift-giving advice, the best gifts are the ones that the person you're giving them to actually wants. So think of the things your boyfriend/girlfriend might have mentioned at some point that indicate what he/she would like to get. Was there a book they said they like to read? A power tool he/she would like to own? A restaurant they like to eat at? Does he/she have a hobby of any kind? A gift idea that came to you from something your boyfriend/girlfriend expressed is going to communicate to him/her that you listen and care, and that should be the point of any gift.
You can buy him/her something they like that's somewhat cheap. For example, a new expansion for a computer game or a video game. An accessory for there car or for there computer. Just buy them something you know they would appreciate. There are some cute homemade gifts you could make him/her like a photo album, but I strongly recommend you wait until the one year anniversary. It's much more special then and it gives you more ideas. So it might be better if you just buy them something they would like or something he/she would find useful.
If you really can't afford to do much with them then it would probably be best if you just visit him/her and cook them a nice dinner. If that is all you can afford then that would be something nice. You can also make him/her a card or photo album or a journal. All you need are pictures, clips from magazines, and a bit of creativity to write poems and something like your own adventure story. But if you don't have the time or the money then just stick with the dinner.
If they know that you can't afford it and he/she will truly appreciate you just spending time with them. All that matters is the though. But what works best for the two of you even if it is just to spend the day together at the park or some place like that then that is all that matters. To spend time with the one special someone that very day.

Nokia marks 20 years of innovation with a London Design Museum exhibit, leaks the Ace 900 yet again
At its exhibit in the London Design Museum, part of the 20 years of innovation celebration, the team has reserved prominent placing for the yet-unreleased Nokia 900 as well.
The Nokia 900 was just sitting there, pictured on a big video wall, a snap of which appeared on Nokia UK's Facebook page, and is still there. The handset was codenamed Nokia Ace and is rumored to appear in Q1 2012 on AT&T's network.
The Nokia 900 is expected to be with the biggest screen out of the Lumia line of Nokia Windows Phones - a 4.3" ClearBlack AMOLED display. This would mark Nokia's first effort in the new era of slim smartphones with large screens, so we are curiously awaiting the result.
The London Design Musem exhibit was under the name "Nokia products that changed the world" and had it all - from the first huge mobile phone clunker, through its first GSM handset, to the last Nokia 900. We are seeing a profile that is slanted a bit at the end, similar to the pillow shape of the Nokia Lumia 800, so we might have a trend here.

Actually stiff competition changed them. Well, more like they had to change. Nokia is still nokia, known for for their hardware and camera. Symbian, i think they bought that from somebody. So no difference which OS they use. So stop crying. They chose MS. So what! Millions use MS products from homes to businesses. What wrong with that?

I save the Borstal story, below, a long time ago. Never did find the author, but it does illustrate how a beating can actrually change a life for the better.
TWENTY MINUTES THAT CHANGED MY LIFE (Last posted in 1994, the author has never been named).
We have since found out that this birching took place at Haslar Senior Closed Borstal- Gosport Hants in 1937.
The events which I am about to relate took place a very long time ago, in 1937, but they are vividly etched in my memory as if they happened yesterday, and above all the dramatic and unbearably painful climax. This only lasted for some five minutes, though at the time it seemed more like fifty minutes, in fact like an eternity. It was a devastating, unforgettable experience that almost certainly changed the course of my life. But this is the end of the story, so I'd better go back to how it all began.
My parents split up when I was only five and I spent the next few years in a succession of children's homes and foster homes. I was always wild and stubborn, difficult to handle, rebellious. For me, as I approached my teens, authority was something to be thwarted and opposed at every turn and so I was constantly getting into trouble. I wanted excitement and enjoyed taking risks. At first this was confined to roaming the streets in a gang of lads, indulging in fights with other gangs; but eventually I found this too tame and I started to go for more daring exploits. I embarked on a series of break-ins to office buildings and factories, just for thrills. For quite some time I got away with it but in the end I was caught and had to appear in juvenile court. As I was only fourteen I escaped with just a lecture and a stern warning that any other offenses would be dealt with severely. I simply ignored all this and was soon at it again, stealing from shops and breaking into houses and stores. Inevitably, I was ultimately caught and again brought before the court. This time I was sent to an approved school for a year.
The purpose of such places was to reform youth like me - to improve their social attitudes and behaviour - but in my case things did not work out that way. It was just another opportunity for me to tilt at authority. I defied the rules continually and was generally uncooperative and wilful. The school was strict and the cane and strap were used often to punish breaches of regulations and many other types of offences. My attitude was such that I frequently had to report for a caning or a strapping, sometimes on the bare bottom; but although these punish- ments always hurt, in some cases considerably, they only deterred me for a short period of time before yet again I was breaking the rules, being insolent and behaving in a thoroughly insubordinate fashion. Even some quite severe doses of the cane failed to tame my anarchic and rebellious nature. As a result, my sentence of one year was ex- tended by six months, and I finally left the establishment when I was fifteen and a half, still anti-social and strongly anti-authority.
During the following six months or so, I lived a more normal life, residing in a local authority hostel for young people and working on a building site which toughened me up physically and made me quite muscular. But it didn't last, after a row with the foreman I was sacked. After this, I simply drifted and before long resumed my wayward behaviour. To cut a long story short, I ended up being sent to a Borstal for eighteen months, aged almost sixteen and a half. The regime was far stricter than at the approved school, aimed at producing obedience and compliance so as to return the inmates to society fully rehabilitated. That was the theory; in practice it was more like a training scheme for apprentice law-breakers, with some fifty teenage lads living together, all whom knew plenty about all sorts of villainy. Many, like me, were rebellious and out of hand. Anyway, I soon settled into the routine of Borstal life and continued to clash with authority.
Corporal punishment was a prominent feature, and my persistent disobedience earned me repeated sessions with the cane. I often received eight hard strokes on the bare bottom and twelve strokes was not uncommon. These were invariably well laid on by a well-built officer and hurt severely, so that even my obstinate spirit was subdued for a time. Yet these punishments did not quell me permanently, and also I was gaining a reputation among the lads as someone who could take a really stiff caning, so I felt the need to live up to it. Apart from my constant defiance, I also absconded twice, on the second occasion burgling a house. Each time I was brought back and punished with the cane, receiving ten strokes on the first occasion and fifteen for the second. These were among the most painful punishments I'd had to date - the second of them, particularly, deterred me from trying further escapes. On each occasion I had to report to the punishment room in the evening, dressed only in underpants, bedroom slippers and dressing gown. I was then ordered to remove the robe, lower my underpants and grasp my ankles with my hands. The cane cracked down with real severity, wringing yells from me and making me regret committing the offence.
However, although these stiff canings made me decide against escaping again, they failed to break my stubborn attitude and wilfulness. I continued to challenge and oppose the system in every way and at the slightest opportunity. Clearly this could not be allowed to carry on for much longer, after various instances of insubordination, I was called before the superintendent. He said that since repeated warnings and punishments had apparently done little to improve my attitude to authority, something far more drastic might shortly be necessary. I was told that he would tolerate no more of my rebellious behaviour and that he was at the limit of his patience. He gave me an ultimatum; the very next time I committed an act of defiance or other major offence, I would be birched. This was a threat that had to be taken seriously. Although now a tall and quite sturdy lad approaching seventeen and a half, I knew that the Birch was a formidable instrument. Even at Borstal it was rarely used, being reserved for serious offenses such as assaulting an officer or for persistent escapes. Some of the lads had told me about birching,, for several months before I arrived at the Borstal a youth named Ron had been given fifteen strokes with the Birch after absconding for the seventh time.
The punishment had taken place in the gymnasium, witnessed by all the others lads and the entire staff. That occasion was still a talking point among us at recreation periods, and it had obviously been a memorable experience for all concerned, it still was a talking point in recreation periods. Ron was still there, as were some of the inmates that had been present at the birching. He was now nearly eighteen and due for release very soon, he was a big, heavy young man, quiet and well -behaved; but he assured me that at one time his attitude and conduct had been very similar to mine, especially in his refusal to conform. When I asked him what had changed all this, he frankly stated that it had been his birching. He said that it; "had hurt his bum like hell." The punishment had been so severe that overnight he had become cooperative. "I never wanted to go through anything like that again." he told me. "And if that meant going along with the system, then O.K."
The lads who had witnessed it confirmed the awesome severity of the birching, saying that it had made them think twice before doing anything that might qualify them for a similar dose. Of course, this is why the punishment was carried out in public - to impress the watching lads, as so deter them from committing serious breaches of discipline. Such conversations as these were to fill my thoughts subsequently. At the time, though, I could scarcely believe that such tough lads could be affected by a thrashing, however severe. They were all, as I was, well used to getting soundly beaten on the bare bottom; nobody liked it but it was just part of the life we led in those days of strict custodial regimes, and we accepted it. So, if their accounts were to be believed, a birching had to be something special. Although I suspected that the horror stories about the birch had been somewhat exaggerated for my benefit, all the lads seemed to have a genuine fear of it; so for all my rebellious nature, and belief that I could take a good hiding better than most, I was none to keen to check it out for myself, whether or not these tales were authentic.
For a while, I more or less toed the line and kept out of major trouble, the incident that led to disaster blew up unexpectedly and suddenly. Some of us had been on an outside working party, and on out return there was a rush for the washrooms so as to be first in the evening meal queue. A certain amount of pushing, shoving and general horseplay developed, in which I was involved - nothing untoward, it often happened. Well, on this occasion one of the stroppier officers was on duty and he piled into the fracas with some force. It just happened that I was one of the lads he grabbed, violently, swinging me round to face him; and on the spur of the moment, I punched him in the stomach, hard enough to double him up for a few moments. When he recovered, he placed me on report. The superintendent ordered solitary confinement for me, and two days later I appeared in court, charged with assaulting an officer. The outcome was inevitable and I was rapidly found guilty. My previous record was then placed before the magistrate to help him decide upon the sentence. After reading it, he told me that my file revealed a continuous story of misconduct and insubordination, culminating in the grave offence for which I had just been convicted. He went on. "It is high time you learnt respect for authority. As many previous warnings and punishments appear to have no effect on you, it's clear that you are only able to understand the sternest measures. You will receive eighteen strokes of the birch." As the magistrates words sank in, I felt a pang of fear. Dazed, I was taken from the court and then back to solitary confinement in the Borstal - a small room with a bunk bed, a small wooden table and little else.
The Superintendent had told me that my sentence had to wait confirmation from the Home Office, which would take two weeks or more; meantime I would remain in isolation from the other lads. With my dreadful record, I knew there was no point in my appealing against the sentence - my one and only slender hope of evading the birch was that the Home Office might not confirm it. I clutched at this straw during the lonely fortnight that followed. I certainly had plenty of time in which to reflect on my dire situation. Eventually, one morning an officer came to my room and took me to the superintendent's office. I stood to attention while he read out the contents of a letter he was holding; the sentence of birching had been duly confirmed and would be carried out the following day in the gymnasium at 8 o'clock in the evening, in the presence of the other inmates and the staff. So there was to be no escape for me. Back in my room, I lay on my bunk, my mind in a whirl. As all the things I'd heard about the birch and how it was used came flooding back to me. I grew more and more apprehensive about my impending punishment.
I kept recalling bits of information; the birch was made from many long twigs bound together. The twigs ended in a spray at the business end, wide enough to punish the entire area of the buttocks with each stroke. They were kept soaking in water for several days before use so as to make them very supple and thus maximise the sting they gave. Apparently, the fine ends of the birch caused an exceedingly sharp sting. I'd also heard that the officer administering the punishment was instructed to apply the birch with maximum force. if most or all of these gruesome details were accurate, there was no doubt whatever that a judicial birching was a grim business. I'd all ready had to endure weeks of awful suspense since being sentenced but it wasn't over yet - I still had nearly thirty-six hours in which to contemplate what was in store for my bare bottom. the waiting seemed endless I had no activities to distract my thoughts, not even a book to read - not that i could have concentrated on reading. My mind was filled with only one thing; that the following evening I had to bend over the end of a vaulting horse, bare bottom, to take eighteen full-strength strokes of the dreaded birch from a hefty Borstal officer, in public. Somehow it all seemed unreal, a bad dream. The day dragged on. At six o'clock the medical officer came to my room to examine me. He pronounced me fit to undergo the punishment; I didn't know whether to feel relieved or sorry. Supper came along a bit later on, then I resumed thinking about the next evening. All I could focus on was my appointment with the birch. How much would it hurt? Was it really as bad as people made out? And if it was, how well would I take it? I had always prided myself on being tough - but was I tough enough to take a birching in the same way as all the canings and strappings I'd had? Well, I'd soon know the answer to that! I felt so tense that sleep eluded me for hours, but eventually I managed to drop off. I was woken at six o'clock the next morning, taken to the washroom and then back to my solitary quarters where breakfast was brought at half past six, more than thirteen hours still to.....wait! If only they would come and do it to me here and now and get it over with...............
It was a grey day in November. Every now and then I could hear rain falling and the wind in the trees. Getting through that day was going to be almost as hard to bear as the punishment. As the hours slowly went by, my fear steadily rose. I'd had all the time in the world to regret the offence that had put me in this plight, as well as my long history of defiance and obstructiveness. Maybe if I'd had a track record I would have got away with a lighter sentence - as it was, there had been no hope of leniency. I had to admit to myself that the sentence was perfectly fair and deserved; it had been decreed by the law, so there was no chance of dodging it. At five o'clock that afternoon I was escorted first to the toilet and then the washrooms to have a bath. My clothes were taken away and I was issued with a pair of underpants, some soft, zip-up bedroom slippers and a dressing-gown. After putting these on, I was accompanied back to my room where shortly afterwards a light supper arrived. there was now about two hours to go before the birching, during which I became increasingly nervous. All I could hope was that the punishing properties of the birch had been over-stated........... Finally, after what seemed the longest two hours ever, I heard keys unlocking my door at about ten minutes to eight. Two officers had come, and without a word each took one of my arms.
They conducted me down a long passage, then another, gripping me firmly as I padded along in my slippers until we reached the gymnasium. One of the officers pushed open the double doors while the other one steered me through them. Out of the corner of my eye I could see some of the assembled lads, but I stared straight ahead, where I noticed that the preparations for my punishment had been made. At the far end of the Gym, the floor level had been raised by putting down stage blocks, and on top of these, in the centre, was a vaulting horse. I was now led down the room until I was just a few feet away from the stage. the officer with me now told me to slip off the dressing gown, and he took it away. The other officer now ordered me to stand to attention, then stand at ease, then come to attention again. Dry-mouthed and heart beating fast, I obeyed. The superintendent then stood up and walked across to face me and the audience (I latter discovered numbered around eighty, the other lads, all of the staff and some Home Office representatives.) He read out the charge. "For striking an officer and repeated disobedient actions, you are sentenced to receive eighteen strokes of the birch on the bare buttocks! Do you wish to say anything?" "No, Sir." I answered in an unsteady voice. "Very well. The punishment will now be carried out."
For the first time, I spotted an officer standing on the stage, to the left of the horse. Evidently he was the one who would be punishing me. I had never seen him before, so he'd obviously been drafted in from another Borstal, or perhaps he was a policeman. For whatever reason, the authorities had chosen someone who didn't know me; still, no doubt the officers from our place would get plenty of satisfaction from watching me being well and truly whipped. As I stared at the officer near the horse, I quailed; he wore a short sleeved shirt which revealed large biceps and thick, brawny forearms. As if that wasn't enough, he was a heavily-built man who must have weighed all of fourteen stone or more. Looking at him raised my fear to panic level - I shuddered to think what a guy as big and strong as that would do to my bare buttocks with the birch. I was roused from these awful thoughts by a voice barking out. "STAND AT EASE!" which I did, mechanically. Then it ordered... "ATTENTION!" Which I obeyed, as if in a trance. I couldn't believe this was really happening. The next command was...... "STEP UP!" and I had to walk forward and ascend the stage. "You are to count each stroke aloud before it is given." the voice came again, "Is that understood?" "Yes, Sir." Hardly recognising my quavering tones. So they were even making me count out the punishment.. How unfeeling........ Again I looked at the hefty officer standing by the vaulting horse, and trembled at the sight of him. I'd never felt so scared in my whole life. Another officer came up to me and said quietly. "Get 'em down, lad." and I lowered my underpants so that my bottom was fully exposed. then he ordered. "MOUNT." and I had to bend over the edge of the vaulting horse, with my stomach lying on top of a thick roll of blanket which raised my bottom so that it stuck out prominently. Several officers now moved forward to secure me.
My wrists and ankles were tied to the legs of the horse, then another strap was wound round the middle of my back; lastly, four more straps bound me to the horse: one round each forearm and one round each of my calves. I was so firmly secured that movement was virtually impossible. Panic- stricken, I stared ahead of me where the medical officer was seated next to the matron. A door to the side of the stage opened and in came an officer carrying two buckets of water he put down on the stage. From one of them he removed a dripping bundle of twigs and handed it to the punishing officer. I had never seen a birch before; it was some four feet long and had a spread of about eight inches at the spray end. It was big, bushy and fearsome. The big officer walked around the horse and took up position behind me.
The order was given. "START COUNTING!", and in a shaky voice I called out "ONE" and so began an experience that I can still remember in every detail, after so many years. There was a long pause after I called the number, then I heard a loud swish and the first stroke descended. It landed with a resounding crack and I felt the wetness of the twigs - but not, to my huge surprise, much pain. All I felt was a slight tingling. I called "TWO", again a long pause-all of ten seconds - then the soaking-wet twigs again landed on their target; and again I hardly felt a thing. I couldn't make it out, from the loud impact, the officer had obviously used a lot of force, yet other than a somewhat greater tingling, I hadn't been hurt. I began to wonder if the birch's alarming reputation was overblown. What I did not know - yet - was that it takes a few strokes for the effects of the birch to penetrate fully............. "THREE" Once again the officer paused; then I hear the swish, closely followed by the feel of he birch as it made contact with my bottom. this time it did hurt, not all that much, but enough to hint at what was to come. I counted "FOUR", another lengthy pause, then the birch came down hard. It was the worst stroke so far and I really felt it. I wasn't looking foward to the next one. "FIVE", Pause. Why did he have to wait so long each time; was it to take careful aim?, or was it to let me fully feel the pain before the next stroke? Perhaps it was for both of these reasons.
Again the loud swishing sound and the birch cracked down with tremendous force. It stung considerably and I began to feel very frightened again after a brief period when I'd felt less scared. "SIX". Pause. Down came the next stroke, it hurt like anything, the fine wet tips of the rod splaying out to contact just about my entire bottom. I wriggled, though my bonds were so tight that the movement was very slight. "SEVEN". Eventually there was a terrifying hiss, then those whippy twigs hit the target area. I felt a very severe sting which steadily spread across my bottom. now at last I realised that I was in for a whipping of a lifetime; each stroke was hurting more than the one before and I was dreading the next one. "EIGHT". Slow again to come, timed, purposeful, the sting was so hellish that it made me gasp. "NINE". Much worse, it hurt my bottom so much that it drove all the breath out of me and I lay across the horse panting and squirming. The punishment was only half way through and getting worse all the time. Steadily my buttocks were taking fire under those biting twigs and I wondered how on earth I could take another nine.......................................
When I found the breath to utter again, I called out "TEN", in a very quivery voice. This time the pause was longer than ever and still the birch didn't descend; soon I realised the reason. The officer wielding the birch signalled to a colleague who promptly went to the other bucket of water and withdrew a fresh birch. this was brought over to my hefty punisher who resumed position behind me. The tenth stroke landed viciously. It hurt atrociously, the most painful one yet and I yelled. the intense sting of that well-soaked birch was indescribable and made me squirm. My bottom ablaze..... I gasped out "ELEVEN" and awaited the stroke with deep dread. Now I knew why big Ron hadn't fancied a repeat taste; and now I knew why the birch was prescribed to punish serious offenders. It hurt far more than anything I'd ever had before, and I still had another eight! The officer applied the next stroke to my bare and still writhing backside will all his weight. I howled as the ferocious bite of those wet twigs penetrated my sore bottom, sending me into violent contortions, though limited by those tight straps. I didn't want to call the next stroke, in fact I couldn't for some time; the whole of my bum was on fire. After a considerable pause, a voice commanded; "CALL THE NEXT STROKE!" It was the last thing in the world that I wanted to do; I wondered what they would do if I refused. But presumably the punishment would still be given, and with all the lads watching I thought that failing to count might strike them as weakness; so at last I called....... "TWELVE". I waited for the birch to come down, my buttocks flinching in anticipation. "THWACK!" The wet twigs lashed my bottom with all the strength of the officer's powerful arm. I screamed with the unbearable sting, desperately twisting and writhing.
The medical officer was looking at me intently and I had a sudden hope that he might intervene and halt this appalling punishment. I felt even more hopeful when he stood up and walked round behind me, evidently to inspect my bottom. Then I heard him murmur "O.K. Carry on" and he resumed his seat..... So there was no mercy for me. I wasn't going to dodge a single stroke of my punishment. I wondered is I would ever be able to sit down again, still six to come.... How could I stand anymore? I managed to say "THIRTEEN" and after the pause and a terrifying swish, the next stroke flamed across my blazing, throbbing bottom. It hurt abominably, even more than any previous stroke; not surprising, it was landed on an extremely sore, raw target area. I howled at the top of my voice, at the same time squirming and pleading for it to stop. Any pride or attempt to show toughness had fled; my bottom was in flames. But the scolding birch continued to hiss and lash, flogging my bare buttocks unmercifully. Five more to come.
The gymnasium was a deathly hush apart from the swish and crack of the twigs and my howls and sobs. I painfully gasped..... "FOURTEEN" and at last came a savage lash that made me scream. Twisting and writhing against mt restraining bonds, my bottom ablaze, sobbing, I knew for the first time in my life the meaning of PUNISHMENT. It was sheer agony, torture, beyond endurance. The birch more than lived up to it's reputation, in fact it was much more painful than I could have imagined. I'd long since had more than enough to persuade me to conform, but the punishment had to be completed..... I sobbed "FIFTEEN", And yet again that brawny arm brought down the birch twigs viciously across my bottom. The sting was impossible, excruciating, and my buttocks reacted to it with more desperate squirmings. I was howling continuously now sobbing "STOP! STOP!" but it made no difference; the flogging continued.
Through the haze of unbearable pain, I wondered what state my bottom was in; it must be cut to ribbons - it certainly fet like it. There was no fight left in me, I'd been broken at last, Finally tamed.... "SIXTEEN"....... A really wicked stroke swished my bum, the impossible sting once more taking my breath away. When I got back I was again screaming at the top of my voice for it to stop. I was bucking and twisting frantically; it was all too obvious why they had secured me so firmly.........Yet again I was very slow to call out the next stroke and in the end had to be ordered to do so...... "SEVENTEEN" and eventually the angry birch screamed down across my tortured, raw, squirming bottom. I continued howling as another dose of scorching sting spread through my bare and suffering buttocks. Yet again those cruel twigs had fanned out to contact the whole target area, imparting an unbearable sting. Still sobbing and pleading I croaked...... "EIGHTEEN". And although still threshing about, or at least attempting to, the final stroke scorched down; a savage slash to end my punishment. I lay over that dreadful vaulting-horse, writhing, sobbing, defeated. So THAT was what a birching felt like! Small wonder that no lad had been known to return for a repeat session.
I had mounted that horse still a defiant youth, stubborn and rebellious. I dismounted it, staggering, a changed lad. Neither at that moment nor ever again had I the slightest desire to buck the system and challenge the powers-that-be. And it had only taken about twenty minutes to cause that transformation! The magistrate who had sentenced me would be pleased: I HAD learned respect for authority. No way ever again did I want to bend over for a birching. It had been unbelievably severe, and the punishment had certainly been effective. I had learned a terribly painful lesson. My straps were unfastened and the matron helped me climb stiffly from the horse.

Revit and Dynamo help design first-of-its-kind arch bridge in California| 09/29/2015
Project: Sixth Street Viaduct
City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering and HNTB Corporation
A bridge that has emotional connections with public
What do you do when you are assigned a design and construction project involving the replacement of a local landmark? It becomes paramount to communicate to the public that the piece of infrastructure they are getting as a replacement not only will be equal to the existing landmark, but also will go beyond in its ability to serve the public with greater safety and as a recreational amenity. The 3rd place winner of the 2015 Excellence in Infrastructure competition experienced this and here is their story.
Spanning the Los Angeles River, the Sixth Street Viaduct is one of America's most iconic bridges, having appeared in more than two dozen films. A chemical reaction taking place in the cement used to construct the bridge makes it vulnerable to earthquakes, and therefore it must be replaced. The City of Los Angeles decided the much-loved structure needed a worthy—and equally striking—replacement. The new bridge, designed by structural engineer, Ted Zoli, and architect, Michael Maltzan, will feature multiple arches and a distinctive lighting system that maximizes light coverage and minimizes glare and shadows. The city tapped HNTB to provide the executive architectural and engineering services required to realize the team's vision. Learn more in this New 6th Street Viaduct is a bridge to a different future in the LA Times.
The Six Street Viaduct will be the first bridge in California to rely on continuous un-braced tied network arches as a structural system. Each arch will be supported by columns set on their own isolation bearings, which will greatly enhance seismic performance. HNTB realized that the complexity of the bridge would require sophisticated analysis and simulation along with accurate visualization. Given the demands of the project, the design team chose to employ a model-based workflow and a Building Information Modeling (BIM) process from the earliest stages of the project. With the initial models developed in Autodesk Revit, the team decided to enhance its ability to model the geometry of the bridge with Autodesk Dynamo Studio. Dynamo helped the team control and understand the parameters of the bridge. Throughout the process, the team was able to analyze the complex forms and unique shapes called for in the design for aesthetic effect, structural loads, wind loads, drainage, and more.

Studio Electronics ATC-1
The Analog Tone Chameleon ATC-1 uses external cartridges for convincing recreation of classic synthesizers and sounds. In fact, the ATC-1 is analog, through and through! It's highly and easily editable, but a bit ugly. It has two LFO's and three envelopes. The filters, however, are on external inter-changeable cartridges. The ATC-1 usually ships with the Minimoog filter cartridge. It sounds pretty convincing too. There are also filters of the Roland TB-303, ARP 2600 and Oberheim SEM each of which cost about $150. With all that analog circuitry they all sound incredible.
There are three envelopes to control VCF, resonance, VCA, OSC2 freq, OSC2 level, pulse width, LFO depth, rate and amount. And there are two great LFOs that will modulate the pitch, VCF freq, resonance, OSC1, OSC2, pulse width, noise and main volume.
Programming the ATC-1 is also vintage in its design and layout. There is one data knob to which you must assign a parameter for editing. An annoying method that reminds many of the old Moog Source or Alpha Juno synths. This limitation in the 'hands-on' approach to sound editing is OK for studio work, but makes live performance use difficult. The ATC-1 is well equipped with MIDI and CV / Gate ports. There is also an external audio input to the VCF (filter). In all the ATC-1 is a state of the art synthesizer with a simple goal, emulating the classics while offering current specs for MIDI, memory and extensive edit-ability in an expandable, compact and intuitive machine. It is used by Fatboy Slim.

text: Private student lender stocks jumped following the federal government's decision last week to bolster the market, but their longer-term prospects are clouded by fretting among legislators and schools that students rely too heavily on unsubsidized lending. Policy makers and education advocates have thus far offered lukewarm support thus far for the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF, which will provide up to $200 billion to finance the purchase of asset-backed securities secured by a variety of debt, including student loans. The facility, unveiled by the Federal Reserve and Treasury last week, is intended to provide liquidity for private lenders, so that they are freed up to make more loans, benefitting borrowers. "We hope that this new program will work as intended: To get credit markets flowing again and make loans more accessible and affordable for students and families," committee Chairman George Miller (D., Calif.) said in a statement last week. "We look forward to learning more details about this proposal so we can be assured that it will operate in the best interests of America's college students, their families and taxpayers." A committee spokeswoman declined to elaborate on Miller's statement. But schools and legislators want students to borrow more from the government -- and, in turn, less from private sources -- than they are currently doing. The Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 increased federal loan limits in order to "reduce borrowers' reliance on costlier private college loans," according to a statement on the Web site of the House Committee of Education and Labor.

(CBS) LOS ANGELES - The "Geezer Bandit" is one of Southern California's most wanted criminals, suspected of pulling off 15 bank heists in the region. But the FBI now says the "Geezer" could be a lot younger than he - or she -looks.
According to CBS Los Angeles, the FBI believes the bandit could be using an elaborate latex mask from a special effects company that sells items online.
One bank teller who saw the bandit up close agreed with the Bureau's assessment that the robber is likely just wearing a mask.
"Something didn't look normal, it wasn't a normal face," said the witness. "He came in, requested money and passed a note and said 'If you don't, I will murder you and everyone else in the bank.'"
A $20,000 reward has been offered for any information leading to the arrest of the "Geezer Bandit."
