Staples' new campaign is intended to draw attention the brand's expanded product selection for small business owners by eventually replacing the L with items not typically associated with Staples.
For one week, office supply chain Staples is removing the iconic "bent staple L" from its logo. The brand will appear as 'Stap es' on its website and social profiles, while pushing the hashtag #WhatTheL.
Properties affected include Staples' Twitter header and profile photo, which have been updated to reflect the campaign with a missing L or an image of the hashtag. They've also added updated Facebook cover and profile photos and new logos on LinkedIn and YouTube.
The brand even tweeted about a L missing from store signage on January 2, 2014. By the end of the day, it had 15 retweets.
Staples has 266,000 followers and 934,000 fans.
In a press release, the brand says, "Fans can join the 'What the L is going on at Staples?' conversation by using the hash tag #WhatTheL."
However, on its website, Staples explains, "We're so serious about our expanding selection, we're changing our logo. Every day, you'll see a different product that you might not expect we carry."
That's because Staples is "adding thousands of new products beyond office supplies every day," including technology, safety equipment, factory signs, facilities and breakroom supplies, medical supplies, furniture and coffee, the brand says.
In fact, according to Carrie McElwee, director of public relations at Staples, over the past year, Staples has more than tripled the number of products it offers.
Ergo, examples of new potential Ls include "a mop or safety cones, or maybe even dog bones or pretzels," McElwee says.
The shift will take place January 9 on Staples.com and its social profiles. Different products will replace the L for an unspecified period of time, she adds.
The missing/replaced L is accompanied by a new tagline, Make More Happen. The campaign as a whole includes four new TV spots that will also highlight the breadth of Staples' product line.
The first spot, which has 1,600 views on YouTube as of January 2, will begin airing nationally on January 6.
Three spots will follow in February.
Make More Happen means Staples is ditching its That Was Easy tagline, which it has used for more than a decade.
"The new tagline builds on 'easy,' so easy is still a core part of the Staples brand and is reflected in the brand promise," McElwee says. "We make it easy to make more happen."
The campaign also focuses on how Staples' expanded product line helps businesses succeed across a broad range of industries, like medical, restaurant, professional services and retail, the brand says.
"We're relaunching the brand to show how we're doing more to help customers do more and the new Staples brand launch is a key part of the company strategy to offer businesses the products they need," McElwee says. "We've been working on reinventing the company for the past year and the campaign really is a culmination to show how we're helping customers make more happen."
In a release, Staples says its campaign features "extensive use of digital video, social media and digital audio."
In other words, the commercials will run on YouTube and Pandora, a rep says. The campaign also includes local radio partnerships in LA, Chicago, New York and Boston that will also have social media components, the rep adds.
The campaign will also include promotions and contests on Twitter and Facebook in the coming weeks, including "a large social component related to Make More Happen launching within the next week," the rep says, adding, "We can't share any specifics on that right now."

Golf Cart Buyers Guides
Gas vs. Electric
The first major decision to make when purchasing a new golf car is to choose between gas or battery powered motors. For first time buyers this can be a somewhat daunting task as this is unfamiliar territory especially when it comes to battery powered vehicles. Like most choices, there are pros and cons for each side that must be well thought out before diving right in. This article aims to lay out all of these points for both gas and electric powered golf carts to help make the decision a little easier for would-be buyers. If youre still undecided after reading, give us a call toll-free 877-855-9353 and well be more than happy to help.
Application & Preference
When new customers come in they invariably ask, Whats better, gas or electric? My answer is always the same it largely depends on how you plan to use your golf car and what your preferences are. These days, people get pretty creative with their golf carts so the intended uses can vary more than you might think. For the average user either type of golf car will make a perfectly fine recreational vehicle. Electric golf carts run nearly silently and have no fuels or oils to deal with, perfect for supporters of the green movement. Gas golf carts are a little more on the noisy side and will obviously require gas to operate - regular unleaded, to be exact.
Electric golf carts do depend on their batteries for power, so if youre someone who wants to use your golf cart for hours upon hours at a time, you may want to stick with gas. This especially holds true for those that enjoy camping and RVing if you dont have access to power neither will your electric golf cart.
Another point thats often forgotten is the amount of accessories you plan to install on your golf cart. If you want stereos, lighting, fans, heaters, etc. all of this takes a considerable amount of power. For an electric cart this energy comes right out of the same bank of batteries that your motor relies on. Gas golf cart accessories will also rely on battery power, however, they feature a starter/generator that will charge the battery on its own while the gas pedal is depressed. This doesnt mean a gas golf cart battery is invincible - any accessories left on while the cart isnt running will eventually kill your battery.
In the beginning, golf cars were designed to simply be what their name implies cars for golfing. While either type of cart can easily haul you and a friend around most reasonable kinds of terrain there are other points to consider when making a decision especially for those who expect a little more.
With horsepower ratings ranging from 10-12 HP, gas golf cars are as much as 3-4 times more powerful than their electric counterparts. An electric golf cart, on average, will feature a 3-5 HP electric motor - but thats not to say electric carts arent impressively powerful in their own right. Light hauling and yard work can be done with either type of vehicle and both will perform satisfactorily. However, those who demand power in off-road conditions with rugged terrain and steep inclines will almost always want to stick with gas power.
As we mentioned before, electric golf carts arent for those who wish to joy ride for hours a day. An electric cart will typically get around two hours of continuous motor run time before the batteries will need re-charging. This translates to anywhere between 22-30 miles depending on usage and the terrain still pretty impressive. While there are no official statistics from golf cart manufacturers, gas powered carts have very impressive fuel economy. Gas tanks vary between 5-6 US gallons and a full tank can net you nearly 200 miles between fill-ups thats around 30 MPG!
Aside from power sources and horsepower ratings, both types of vehicles operate in much the same fashion. To the untrained eye you couldnt get the two apart from each other, and for the most part,\ they both ride and handle the same. Both types of vehicles will get about 14-15 mph top-speed (unmodified).
All in all, both types of golf carts have fairly light requirements when it comes to maintenance. With electric carts your main concern lies within your batteries make sure you check the water levels monthly and top-off as needed. The batteries are the life-blood of an electric car and with a replacement set costing over $600 these days its not something you want to ignore. With proper maintenance of batteries and responsible charging habits you can expect to get 5-6 years (sometimes longer) of solid performance before they will need replacing. In comparison, neglecting your batteries can shorten their lifespan to as little as 1-2 years.
Gas golf carts, on the other hand, do require periodic oil changes as well as replacement air/fuel filters and spark plugs when necessary. For the do-it-yourselfer its pretty routine stuff if you dont mind getting a little dirty. Filters are relatively inexpensive and golf cart motors take only a quart or so of 10W30 oil after every 250 hours of motor run time. The best way to stay on top of maintenance is to purchase and install an hour meter for the motor and with proper care a gas golf cart can last you a lifetime.
Maintenance costs will be about equal if you take care of your golf cart. If not, electric golf carts tend to be more expensive largely due to the cost of replacing batteries.
Now that you have a better idea of how both gas and electric golf cars operate, hopefully youll have an easier time making a decision. Keep in mind, this article is comparing standard golf carts. There are motor and controller upgrades out there to get the power of a gas golf car (and more) in electric form though that is beyond the scope of this article.

We are thrilled to announce that Bloomsbury, aka the fine folk publishing Pen & Ink (out October 7th of this year, which you can pre-order here, here, here, or here, Mom), has acquired our second book: Knives & Ink. It will feature the tattoos of illustrious chefs ranging from the Michelin-starred to the down 'n dirty, and the rich personal stories behind them.
We'll have more information for you soon, but we are stoked beyond belief and couldn't keep it to ourselves any longer. We can't wait to share these books with you!
Book Deal of the Day!
Tonight at The Common in The Eternal City, we will eat these amazingly beautiful Frangelico brown butter cakes from Spirited Bakery.
And soon, Spirited Bakery will be a cocktail bar, and we will eat EVERYTHING.
Last night I went to a pretty epic wedding and drank all of the things. So dinner tonight could only be Hangover Soup. It's rich and nourishing and NOMMMMM. Basically it's like the Bloody Mary of soups
Here's how I made it!
(I found this recipe on Fresh Direct, originally from "Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread Cookbook" by Crescent Dragonwagon).
Throw like 6 cloves of garlic in a giant pot with some fresh parsley, sage, and thyme (Rosemary is not invited to this party). Oh, and 3 whole cloves. Then dump 6 cups of your preferred stock in the pot and boil/simmer that stuff for an hour (or until your patience runs out.
Taste the broth and add a bunch of black pepper and dried herbs because the broth is still kinda bland. Cook for another 10ish minutes. Pull out the herbs and smoosh the garlic cloves.
Add 2 cups of tomato juice (or V8 or *gasp* Clamato) and some worcestershire sauce. Bring up the temperature and toss in 3/4 cups pasta like baby shells or elbows—mac and cheese kinda stuff. Cook until the pasta is done.
Here's the trickier part. Beat three egg yolks in a little bowl. And slowly add a little bit of the soup to the eggs spoon by spoon to temper the eggs. Once the eggs are up to temperature, add it to the soup. It'll thicken up the soup and turn it kinda orange - like tomato soup orange, not Doritos orange. Let it cook for a few more minutes.
Now scoop some of this deliciousness into a bowl. Add hot sauce to taste. Dump a pile of yummy shredded cheddar cheese and a couple avocado slices on top.
Eat it.
Ooooh I was just talking about soup-tempering today!
The cookbook is almost here! It comes out April 15th! (And for those of you who pre-ordered on Amazon, it should be delivered to you on the 15th).
There are 100 vegetarian recipes, inspired by living in our little cabin in the woods, and the local California produce here. Twenty of the recipes are favorites from the blog (like the 3 above) and then there are 80 new ones! (see some of them, here!) Plus the book is packed with lots of my watercolors and photos of the cabin and cocktail parties on our deck.
Just like the blog, everything is displayed visually like the recipes above, so it's super easy to cook from. There are lots of upcoming book signings scheduled for the New York and San Francisco areas- see them here! More to come. Feel free to sign up for my newsletter for updates.
And of course, you can order the book HERE.
Happy cooking!
xx Erin
I just got my copy! I cannot freakin' believe how beautiful it is~
Lazy person's #stocktips: use a rotisserie chicken carcass and pre-chopped mirepoix. It'll still be good.
Totally acceptable cheats.
Used my Stock Tips zine for a big batch of Italian Wedding.
On Monday, March 10th at 7pm, Ami Greko and I will be joining forces with Housing Works Bookstore Cafe for Stock Tips: A Party About a Zine About Soup.
There will be soup-related storytelling by Dave Bry, Bex Schwartz, Kevin Nguyen, and Jaime Green, drinking, mingling, and zines for sale to benefit Housing Works.
To join our Soup Swap, bring a recipe on an index card — as scribbled or designed as you like. Drop it in my favorite turquoise stock pot and pull out someone else's. (It's like a free raffle, or a potluck without the mess!)
Hope to see you there!
Thanks Abbeville Press! I cannot imaaaagine why you thought this might be up my alley…
More cross stitched veggies for #StockTips. Thank you to the 599 fabulous weirdos who love soup enough to buy a zine. Will you be number 600?
#Stock Tips, An Old School Hard Copy Zine Celebrating the Wonder of Soup
An awesome soup zine for only $5? That's amazing! We should all pre-order one immediately!

Oxford United's players have been given no assurances they will be in the side next season, but Gary Waddock has not transfer-listed anyone under contract.
During a desperately disappointing finish to the campaign, which saw the U's drop out of the Sky Bet League Two play-off places, the head coach suggested nobody was safe this summer.
Following a home defeat to Accrington Stanley last month, he said: "Big decisions need to be made and they certainly will be."
Deane Smalley, Sean Rigg and Scott Davies, whose contracts expired at the end of the season, were released last week.
Loan trio Ryan Williams, Nicky Wroe and David Connolly have returned to their parent clubs, while James Constable and Tom Newey are considering contract offers.
For the moment no-one else is likely to leave, with those remaining at the club told they will be given the chance to claim a place in the team during pre-season.
Waddock said: "I've spoken to the players who are under contract.
"When they come back in they have to earn the right."
The U's boss has been busy chasing targets to improve the squad since the season finished, but is not actively looking to free up more room in the squad by making players available for transfer.
"There's no point in doing that," he said.
"There's a good group of people here.
"The one thing I did say is there's no guarantee they will be starting in that first team – that goes across the board.
"The ones I've moved out are out of contract and they've gone.
"Players that don't figure in the early part of the season will have to make their minds up."
Waddock also confirmed Jake Wright will remain United captain after the club activated a clause in the defender's contract which extends his stay for another 12 months.
He said: "We've had a number of conversations since I've been here and he's been good within the dressing room.
"His form wants to be better than it has been and he's had injuries through the course of the season.
"He needs a breather just like all the other players do."

According to Vulture, Holmes will make her 'HIMYM' debut in a Halloween episode in October. The character, who dressed as a pumpkin at a Halloween party in 2001, was introduced in the show's first season as a potential love interest for Ted.
'HIMYM' co-creator Craig Thomas called Holmes a "lovely" and "talented" actress. Holmes' last TV role was in Reelz Channel's 'The Kennedys' miniseries, and her last guest appearance on a scripted TV show was an episode of ABC's 'Eli Stone' in 2008.
Holmes joins a long line of famous faces to have portrayed one of Ted's love interests on 'HIMYM,' including Sarah Chalke, Rachel Bilson, Jennifer Morrison and Mandy Moore.

Unlike places such as Montana or Texas with their never-ending skies and wide-open plains, Maryland rewards those who stop and take a closer look. It's a state where views may be best appreciated at the level of an extravagantly petaled flower or detailed cornice.
So perhaps it's not surprising that the state also produces writers who excel at bringing individual moments into sharp focus by championing that literary form in miniature, the short story. On Tuesday, three authors with area connections who all have won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction will read from their work at the Ivy Bookshop:
Geoffrey Becker, 54, is an English professor at Towson University. He won the prestigious prize in 2009 for his collection "Black Elvis," which chronicles the moments in the lives of modern-day vagabonds. The Baltimore resident and his wife are the parents of a 7-year-old son.
Harvey Grossinger, 65, picked up the award in 1997 for "The Quarry" which explores the at-times fraught relationships between Jewish-American fathers and their sons. A Bethesda resident, Grossinger has taught writing at several area colleges, including the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, College Park and Washington's American University.
And E.J. Levy won the O'Connor Award last year for "Love, In Theory," which features stories about people whose heads duke it out with their hearts. Levy, who is in her 40s, lives in Leesburg, Va. She taught for four years at American University and currently is an assistant professor at Colorado State University.
All three had insights to offer about the pleasures and perils of a life dedicated to perfecting the close-up shot.
You all have either written novels or are in the process of writing them. Can you talk about the difference between long-form and short-form writing?
Levy: The short story has a density and richness and beauty and intimacy that it's hard to find in any form of writing other than poetry. Writing a short story is a little bit like making love. There's an intense pleasure that may be brief and that leads to an illuminating conclusion.
I'm pregnant now with my first child, and it seems to me that writing a novel is more gestational than writing a short story. Reading a novel takes more time and writing one takes more time. It slowly reshapes your world.
Becker: I love E.J.'s metaphor. It's sort of the difference between making love and being in a long-term relationship. Writing a novel takes forever, and you're not the same person at the end. You've changed. You've moved. Real life tends to filter in when you're writing a novel in an ongoing way that it probably doesn't when you're writing a short story.
Grossinger: I don't consider myself a natural short-story writer. When I entered a graduate writing program in the '80s, my short stories were just novels in disguise. I had to keep chopping them down. I'm just more drawn to the long form. Short stories have a much narrower vision. They're a moment in time. You can't exfoliate the entire life of a character, with their beginnings and ends, in a short story in the same way you can in a novel.
Everyone always talks about how busy people are today, how no one has enough time, what a short-attention-span generation we've become. So you'd think that short-story collections would be more popular than novels. But the opposite is true.
Levy: I think there are a lot of closet short-story readers. Look at the sales each year for "Best American Short Stories." But it's much easier for an agent to pitch a full-length narrative and say why they think you can get it on the best-seller lists than it is to pitch a short-story collection. How do you explain in a sound bite what a group of short stories is about? They all have different characters and plots.
Grossinger: Book sales are determined by marketing departments, and novels get most of the publicity. Reading short stories isn't the central focus that it was in the '40s, '50s or even the early '60s, when people would sit down and find a short story in The Saturday Evening Post or Collier's. There are fewer magazines. And the magazines that are still around publish hardly any fiction.
Becker: That time Harvey's talking about, when reading a short story was part of everyday life — I think television helped kill that era. Before television, you'd come home from work, you'd have a half-hour to kill before dinner, you'd say, "I think I'll read a short story." Now, you watch a sitcom. Television provides too much distraction.
I myself find reading a collection of short stories to be not the greatest experience. It can be a little wearying, even when I'm reading a collection by a writer that I'm a huge fan of, like Lorrie Moore or Flannery O'Connor. After you read two or three, they all start to seem the same. I'm not sure that short stories are meant to be read sequentially any more than novels are. That's not how they're written.
How does an idea for a story come to you?
Levy: When I write fiction, I'm writing about what happens next. When I'm writing nonfiction, I'm writing about what happened to me in the past. I'm trying to figure out which bus ran me down.
Fiction most often starts for me as a kind of echo. I hear a phrase or I meet someone or I see something, and it has a kind of heightened resonance. It's hard to say why. And then I'll have almost a reportorial instinct and I'll feel compelled to record the phrase or the moment or the way someone is holding her hand.
Grossinger: I usually start with the plot. It's a very conscious decision. For instance, I might decide, "I'm going to write a very long novel that will be split in half. One half will take place in New York, and the other half will be set in Indiana." The characters come from the plot. I don't know where they come from. They just kind of emerge.

Mixed Messages
Human being have one of the most complicated ways of communication and unfortunately for us, many of the intra- and interpersonal messages we give off can be misinterpreted by others. Many times have I been the fool who has interpreted the messages of a petty crush the completely wrong way into which they favour me, when really they don't.
It can be crushing to learn that you've been lead on by mistake. Some people have that natural ability of flirtation which can be incredibly dangerous for not only them, but those around them.
I hate mixed messages. They're not fair.
Government officials seem to have a lovely time being incredibly melodramatic. Full of superficial self-importance and an ego the size of the moon, they seem to have this desire to make an enormous deal out of events, which, quite frankly, aren't that important after all.
The Rugby World Cup 2011 has become the biggest media feeding frenzy since the David Bain trials. Stadiums are being completely revamped and revitalized, new "party" buildings are being constructed and the entire country is being cleaned up. Sure, it's new, fancy and very exciting. Total expected visitor count for the cup? 85,000 people. That's about the population of a medium sized town! It's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. New Zealand attracts over 2.4 million tourists a year, yet we do nothing for them. The money should go towards more long term solutions rather than these quick and easy temporary things.
In an even bigger blow, our government has elected a Rugby World Cup Minister. Do we really need a minister for this World Cup?! It's all so over the top for what used to be, a game, which, quite frankly, I don't even care about.

Hello, This rant I feel is just to continue some sort of critical dialogue and is most likely just pointless speculation and conjecture. My last posts kind of touched on art exhibited on Tumblr and the perceptions of internet activists, but with recent developments like Yahoo buying out Tumblr and the sentencing of Lulzsec members, then also the hacking scandal with the Department of Justice and the Associated Press, I kind of just want to bring it back to some of my more immediate artistic interests. The post is aptly titled 'How to waste your time' which I picked up from a review of a group show I was recently a part of. So in the review the critic exclaimed "perhaps time waster is the more accurate description" of my work. I was slightly offended by this comment but intrigued at the same time as I began to re-question the utility of art and the mechanisms of aesthetic judgment. I mean the review was written in the typical nebulous artspeak that uses elitist language to obfuscate any direct meaning while claiming authority through the ability to untangle the complexities of the artist's vision that's presumed inaccessible to ordinary uneducated viewers. I'm guilty of if this type of vanity myself having spent much of my time at Uni writing artist statements that serve as textual interpretations to uphold a pretentious facade that builds exclusivity within the artistic community and glorifies artworks as mystical artifacts that hold a special purpose or meaning. The work itself was a video loop titled 'Loading Cycle' that consists of 16 animated moons in a ring, seamlessly cycling through the lunar phases which I described as "existing somewhere between internet ephemera and Taoist cosmology". But sometimes it's nice to strip away the pretention and niceties and be annoyingly candid. Maybe I'm just trying to mask my cynicism with institutional critique but either way I feel like being irritating. So it always seems to be a faux pas to bring up the Emperors new clothes argument when it comes to art because it not only attacks the security and livelihood of artists but also makes you appear uncultured and insensitive to the arts in general. That said there are definite social functions of art that have practical applications. For example collectors of high art use it to hedge against inflation in times of market volatility as depreciation is unlikely with historically significant artworks considered a secure investment tied to the collective cultural history of humankind. In the middle ground supporting emerging artists helps attain social status and gains entry into an exclusive world often romanticized as edgy and dynamic. For younger generations creating art and selectively building affiliations with cultural icons acts to define a personal aesthetic and helps crystalize social identities, playing an important role in identity formation. Anyway the point of this rant was kind of to go around in circles and waste everyone's time by deconstructing the arbitrary nature of art in its reflection of the irrationality and unfairness of society. Perhaps I could better express the inefficiency of the art world by having a video projector constantly beaming light onto a solar panel that's wired up to charge an iPhone. Regardless to say a large part of my practice is concerned with the relationship between new media and more conservative art traditions. The idea that art is autonomous is one of the most abused and exalted ideas within the art world which provides plenty of confusion and criticism for detractors. To explain this, the autonomy of an artwork prevents standardization which acts to build exclusivity and creates artificial scarcity which is important for market capitalization and social stratification. But when money and status becomes the primary aesthetic preferences it corrupts the whole institute of art. I'm trying not to sound like a bitter, impoverished, underfunded, over educated art school graduate arguing for more Duchampian style disruptive innovations over Warholian populism and market complicity. But I mean like recently Sotheby's sold a Barnett Newman painting for $43,845,000, which consists of a canvas painted blue with a pale strip down the middle. I'm not having a go at abstract expressionism and respect the history of post-war art, but it really isn't much to look at. Legacy is only interesting to a degree and the whole purpose of minimalist works was to strip away semiotic complexity and figuration to focus on medium specificity which isn't all that fascinating. But the heritage of Newman's painting provides a unique commodity that can be easily bought and sold as a plaything for the rich. This gives an example of why digital media is often marginalized within the circles of mainstream contemporary art, with screen based culture or any art requiring mediation by technology acting as a barrier between an autonomous singular object rooted in the modernist tradition of western individualism, and art that needs external interpretation to transcode it's meaning. In a sense a JPEG could be described as an instructive conceptual work with the electronic device acting as the performer. It's infinite reproducibility and ease of transmission makes it undesirable for any collector with technological obsolescence also being a factor. Admittedly there is a loss of tactility with digital works often described as immaterial which implies ephemerality, although I feel this isn't wholly correct. So I tried to work out if digital files had mass which was probably a bad idea since I'm horrible at math and physics. I figured out a formula from an article which approximated 1 bit of data to contain around 40000 electrons, and from this tried to work out the mass of an average sized image on the internet at 150kbs. With 1 bit being 8 bytes and multiplying that by 150 kilobytes then dividing it by 2 as an approximation to find the average number of numerical values of 1s in the binary. Then multiplying the amount by 40000 and using this to find the total weight of electrons, which worked out like this. ((8*150*1000)/2)*40000)*9*10^-31 Equaling roughly 0.0000000000000000000216 kg. Then I realized the article was written in 2007 and storage efficiency would have improved since, but also it was over simplified and would probably only apply to solid-state drives. So then I was considering bits stored on hard drives being represented by certain orientations of magnetic fields which shouldn't have any effect on gravitational mass, but theoretically I suppose you could work out formulas for energy mass conversions. Anyway it illustrates that digital information doesn't hold the visceral sensations and messiness that's often desired in an artwork. In a very real sense the energy and information contained within IRL artworks is different from digital files. This is relevant as the marketing and sales of artworks focus on human aspects and become more concerned with building confidence and reducing uncertainty for investors rather than supporting new ideas, which in turn dictates the historical narrative surrounding art and has a trickledown effect on emerging artists who imitate the work. So having something solid and immutable is important in both a physical and cultural sense. But is this really a good thing or is it just Skeuomorphism? Subjects such as communication theory and semiotics could be used to argue against clinging desperately to the past but there are probably valid evolutionary responses for why people often disregard efficiency and hold onto familiar time-tested traditions beyond comfort and sentimental value.
But I wanted to give another example of how digital information can provide more quantifiable insight through providing discreet units of measurement. Often when I'm working in Photoshop I'm considering all possible options to provide the most effective outcome. So although my range is limited primarily by a series of aesthetic judgments, I've always wondered how many theoretical potentialities there may be. This is fairly easy to calculate with digital images using a standard screen display with 24-bit color depth having 8-bit channels each for red, green and blue. I'm not very good at this but I'm thinking it's a simple function of 2^24 = 16777216 colors in total and the possible outcomes for an averaged sized image of 800x600 pixels at lossless quality would be 16777216^(800*600) which equals 3.5485347568249036055446802957154058824287799932924395… × 10^3467865 .Of course compression would change this completely but I'm more interested in using it as an analogy to provide a broader viewpoint. I got stuck on thinking of how to apply this to video and tried treating each frame as a pixel in a larger set. So one second of lossless video at 25 frames per second without audio at 1080p would be 25^(16777216^(1920*1080)) which equals 10^(10^(10^7.175545998247780)). I think this calculation is wrong but it stirred an idea in me as a thought experiment to visualize potentialities and limits on causality while questioning philosophies on determinism. It made me think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which suggests that all possible alternative histories and futures are real which kind of blows your mind when you think of it on a cosmic scale. It also made me visualize randomness and chaos in a different way other than a formless uniform white noise like the static from an old TV set caused by the background microwave radiation. Anyway I'm going off on tangents on mathematics, information theory, cosmology and things I don't really understand. So all this randomness and thoughts of entropy was a little disconcerting and I was anxious to establish some order and structure using text and language as an analogy more suited to human understanding. This is a very rough estimate but the average page in a book has about 250 words and about 3200 characters, so on a single page in a book using only 26 letters the potential outcomes would be 26^3200, equaling 8.217004155737980393479977068783754522004266107526773494… × 10^4527. This doesn't include punctuation, spaces (?), numerals or special characters, and would be greatly reduced when factoring in formal structures of the English lexicon. The English language has over a million words but for simplicity sake let's say an average author has an active vocabulary of 70000 words… Yeah so I tried to work this out but I think you'd have to use combinatorics or something like permutations to figure out the potentialities but I couldn't find a calculator that could go up that high and it got way too complex. Anyway the number would be pretty big but would be reduced when rules of grammar and syntax were applied and reduced further when considering certain models and frameworks of the writing style. Continuing on, a single text character is typically 1 byte and an average word 10 bytes with a whole page being around 2kbs. Still with such rich media available, written expression is the preeminent formal language for communication with other forms of language considered more casual and informal. My argument here is that with recent trends towards apps such as Instagram, SnapChat, Vine and the emergence of camera phones and Google Glass, visual language has become more ubiquitous in a digitalized sense. Our need to text or record a single snapshot of our lives is being replaced with a continuous stream of data uploaded to the cloud. This has an effect on how such media will be useful or actionable for humans. So without considering big data or statistics I was wondering how this is information may be useful for ordinary folk. An average person can distinguish around 10 million different colors, although there is considered to be around 2-3% of the population to be tetrachromats able to distinguish around 100 million colors. Mark Zuckerberg is famously a dichromate owing to the blue coloration of Facebook. But anyway my point is limitations on sensory perceptions provides a narrow bandwidth for consciousness. These figures are debatable but there exists something like 10 million bits of information filtering through the human senses per second. From this fewer than 40 bits are filtered into consciousness. And with further consideration such as linguistic agency which involves greater informational entropy, conversational bandwidth is about 16 bits per second. I'm interested in this because I've always found it interesting that even though conceptual art is explicitly about thoughts and ideas, conceptual artists never really try to quantify the cognitive processes or mechanisms of perception that relate to the work, but instead try to explain it through some poetic quasi-theoretical, art-historical, social framework. I'm kind of half trolling and don't really expect artists to start measuring the synaptic structures of the brain or break out the electroencephalography devices. But to leave you with a head fuck, most of the daisy chaining of the YouTube clips I do is tailored to form an externalized transactive memory system resembling an associative network that will be relevant within Singularitarian concepts anticipating the exponential growth of computation creating expanding ecologies of incalculable data forming passive or ambient forms of consciousness within cloud based services to form a structure within some digital Gaia hypothesis in which memetics will overtake genetics as the dominant form of memory transaction… Yeah but kind of not. Lulz.

This rant is designed as a catharsis for some of the paranoia and irritability I've been feeling lately. More to articulate some personal anxieties rather than posture any overt political leaning. Although I'll probably come across as a naïve young civil libertarian pushing for a more open internet and calling for greater cooperation between internet activists and judicial systems. Even so I want to touch on the subject of actors across the entire internet and suggest why there exists so much paranoia, mistrust and division. The main distinction I want to make is between draconian attempts to intimidate hackers that use the internet as a platform for activism and who champion the idea of freedom of information, against more malicious actors involved in industrial and corporate espionage. The difference being between what are usually curious disaffected young people calling for social change and hackers motivated by profit with affiliations to organized crime or backed by a government. For hacktivists this type of judicial overreach by prosecutors appears designed to make examples of individual cases as a means to silence dissent in the interest of domestic security. Although this seems a little ridiculous considering the scale and sophistication of external threats. I'm using examples such as Andrew Auernheimer and Daniel Spitler with the AT&T case, members of Anonymous and LulzSec like Jake Davis and everything that went down with Hector Xavier Monsegur and Jeremy Hammond, and of course Aaron Swartz who now seems to be the online poster boy for social injustice. On the file sharing front there's also the founders of the Pirate Bay and others like Kim Dotcom and Richard O'Dwyer. These are the most publicized cases but there are still many unheard instances of people of facing similar sentences. That's not to say the authorities aren't catching genuine criminals engaged in credit card fraud and such, but you hardly hear about them.
My point is in the case of less malicious actors the legitimacy of the legal system is bought into question which creates further divisions within the community, building mistrust and promoting an us against them mentality rather than focusing on social cohesion. I won't go into a spiel about intellectual property and outdated business models or the economic impact of pirating digital material, but there are some interesting opinions out there about it. Anyway on the other side there's the intelligence and military units, cyber militias and mafia connections that all contribute to what I consider a much more tyrannical Machiavellian force. There has been an increase in co-opting cyber militias or other non-state actors by governments to provide a screen to deflect any blame or attribution in the case of a cyber-attacks against an enemy, which prevents diplomatic intervention or an escalation of the conflict. Recent examples have been al-Qassam with Iran or the Syrian Electronic Army, but it seems to be a growing trend all around the world. On the surface these militias don't appear very sophisticated with their main activities involving hacking twitter accounts, phishing, defacing webpages or short term denial of service attacks. However with new cyber weapons similar to Stuxnet becoming available on the black market the possibility of targeting physical infrastructure is becoming more of a threat. The biggest threat for the US right now seems to be China which is undeniably conducting massive intrusive operations targeting US companies with the purpose of stealing as much industrial technology as they can. Something like 90% of cyber espionage in the US is originating from China, and with the exposure of Unit 61398 in Shanghai by Mandiant earlier this year it's becoming more difficult for them to shift the blame. That's only really half my worries as domestic surveillance by governments has also become more aggressive and sophisticated. Recently 36 governments, mostly from developed countries, were found to be using intrusive software sold by FinFisher to spy on their citizens. This isn't really big news with the governmental surveillance market worth about $5 billion annually, but it illustrates a point. My concern is how all this information is being aggregated and analyzed? Who has access to it and what type of information sharing is there across organizations? Is it just using big data and statistics or is it in the realms of an Orwellian system of profiling similar to the proposed Total Information Awareness program, with detailed information on behavioral patterns and in depth social network analysis? And with all the compartmentalization and different players such as Google, ASIO, DSD, CIA, NSA, MI6, federal and state police, Interpol, private intelligence companies like Strafor, or just freelance hackers, would it just turn into a massive bureaucratic clusterfuck in the style of Kafka's 'The Trial'? I'm not really that concerned as I've spent most of my time growing up on the internet considering such paralyzing hypotheticals and being conscious of my digital footprint, which is clearly visible through my fractured and disengaged social media profile. Although I suppose it can't be as bad as China which I think spends most of its defense budget on domestic security. Anyway this perceived tyranny and corruption of governments is the reason young kids want to jump on Tor or I2P and join anon chat rooms in the first place. I suppose it's a little ironic jumping into the shadows to fight the shadows and in the end I feel a lot of the time it's just your own shadow you're chasing.

so i guess my dad offered to get my camera fixed for me because he doesn't want me to just forget about it and let it sit in a drawer forever (which i won't but that's aside the point) but he's on some 'i'll find someone to fix it' shit and i'd much rather send it to canon and get it fixed by them because it's really not all that expensive of a repair and i'd rather have it be okay than ruined forever just because we wanted to save a little. but, since he seems so down, i'm gonna see if i can get him to split it with me. i really want my camera back.

Eastwood Welding Clamps - Intergrip Panel Clamps Set of 4
Product Review (submitted on August 24, 2012):
like the others said, a little weld on the post. One thing, the tack welds on the screw are very minimal. i can see them not holding up with much use. just if you have the welder out anyway, just give it another zap. otherwise i have to say very nice to have. bought 2 sets on sale. NOT worth full price because of quality but nice addition to the tool box when 1/2 price :) and that ONE time you really need them, it will be worth it.

Problems With Case/Shiller Index For Us
A: You may have read in the past few days that the Case/Shiller Housing Index for the NYC Metro area experienced a decline of 3.4% year-over-year. I know what your saying, "But Noah, you keep saying that Manhattan inventory declined and I don't see where prices are declining?". Well your right! Manhattan inventory DID decline 32% since June of 2006 and I have NOT seen any significant correction in prices since the frenzy months of early 2007! So what gives? It's the index people! I'll explain why it just can't be used for Manhattan buyers or sellers as an accurate gauge to our real time market values.
First, the news. According to CNN Money article titled, "Home Prices: No Relief on Horizon" yesterday:
On Tuesday, Standard and Poor's said its nationwide S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index fell 3.2 percent in the second quarter, compared with a year ago. For the three months ended June 30, prices dropped 0.9 percent from the first quarter.To understand WHY I think the NYC Metro Index should not be seriously considered as accurate for Manhattan, we must look at what areas make up the index in the methodology paper of the index itself. For the NYC Metro Area, counties included are:
Major housing markets showed worse declines. The Case-Shiller index covering 20 top metro areas for the month of June fell 3.5 percent, and the 10-city index dropped 4.1 percent year-over-year.
Fairfield CT, New Haven CT, Bergen NJ, Essex NJ, Hudson NJ, Hunterdon NJ, Mercer NJ, Middlesex NJ, Monmouth NJ, Morris NJ, Ocean NJ, Passaic NJ, Somerset NJ, Sussex NJ, Union NJ, Warren NJ, Bronx NY, Dutchess NY, Kings NY, Nassau NY, New York NY, Orange NY, Putnam NY, Queens NY, Richmond NY, Rockland NY, Suffolk NY, Westchester NY, Pike PAWould you consider these counties a good representation for co-op, condo, and condop prices here in Manhattan? I certainly wouldn't.
That's not to say I don't believe in the goal of this index or to diss Professor Shiller's ultimate goal, which is in the realm of creating a housing exchange and adding transparency to home prices in major cities. That's all great stuff, but I just don't think we can follow it too closely! So for me, this index is un-usable and I think is more for those buyers and sellers in the suburb counties of the metro areas; I also think it affects buyer psychology and confidence.
However, curiosity kills. So lets see what the NYC Metro Index has done over a few different time periods.
SINCE JAN 2006 - NYC Metro Home Price Index
SINCE JAN 2002 - NYC Metro Home Price Index
SINCE JAN 1997 - NYC Metro Home Price Index
Allllllrighty then!
Great post Noah. If people could see what is behind that headline they would realize the seriousness of being mislead by the media. People see New York metro area and theystart at the Empire State Building and stop at the Hudson and East rivers. Amazing how the press distorts the truth. But money has been made and will be made off of sensationalism. I thank you for that media. Again, great post, you nailed it. Keep us informed of the frontlines!
will do Steve. Although I will write about the bad stuff if it does happen. Hopefully readers appreciate the unbiasness of the site.
I think you have a great blog. I appreciate your candor and your openness to addressing the "Good, bad, and ugly" issues that relate to NYC real estate.
My overall impression is that you believe that NYC real estate will probably decline in the immediate future.
I wonder if you find yourself conflicted when advising clients on whether now is really a great time to be buying.
I realize that every client has unique circumstances which would influence their decision. But in final analysis, I don't know many people who are happy to buy something today at full price if tomorrow
they can buy it at a considerable discount.
Anyway thanks for the great blog,
MK - Thanks. You know, Im just honest with them. I tell them the red flags I see, I make sure their strategy is long term, and that their alternatives really dont make much economic sense. If things line up, I then advise them on the best of group property and bidding strategy. In the end, Im more like a consultant.
9/10 times a tell a client NOT to go for a particular property.
I also must have advised at least 15 buyers so far this year to RENT, and not to buy due to reasons they told me about their strategy or situation. I have no problems doing that.
Service is key, in my mind. And having a broker you trust, means having a lifetime broker. That doesnt mean Ill do this for life, but it helps build a good reptuation for my future business and goals.
But to answer your questions, I have no problem telling a buyer what I truly think. If they still decide to buy, I help them find the best value possible
thanks for the info..prices really went down this time..
too bad..there is a decline//
thanks for this post..got me on the indexes..
not again..another decline in the Case/Shiller Housing Index
@jumeirah..yes,,it really declined based on the figures stated above..
plus i had this problem before when i was using the case/shiller index..
great post noah..really informative..
thanks for the post..i also had some problems with the index but i solved it already..
how do i use this shiller index? i still dont get it much..

My life's goal was to be a mom. So, I became a registered nurse in order to be able to provide for my future kids. Boy, oh, boy, and lots of girls -- were my prayers ever answered! By the age of 29, I was a mom to eight (count them!) healthy beautiful kids.
Since then life has gone in all sorts of crazy directions, including a hit reality show on TLC that ran for six seasons, three New York Times best-selling books, and single mom-hood!
Since having kids, my goal in life is to be the best mom I can possibly be ... and to simply and successfully survive each day!
Sipping on:

Are Security Companies a Safe Bet?
Zain is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The housing market has been on a gallop, which is why many may believe that the overall construction market is booming. This is not the case as the construction industry is a product of both residential and non-residential construction, and it has been the non-residential construction that has disappointed investors. The Architectural Billing Index (ABI), a leading indicator of non-res construction, hit a low level in April, according to Ingersoll-Rand's (NYSE: IR) presentation at the Electrical Product Group (EPG) Conference.
Sluggish institutional (another word for non-res construction) markets have been a source of dismay to the investors of security companies, as security system and technology providers are a pure play on non-res construction growth rates. Let's have a look at what these companies had to say at the EPG conference.
A fire security company worth a look
Tyco's (NYSE: TYC) CEO George Oliver presented his case at the EPG conference. He noted that non-res construction is experiencing slow recovery, which is being offset by European weakness. Moreover, construction in the hospital and schools sector remains depressed. The residential sector remains strong but it forms only small portion of Tyco's revenue.
However, I am still bullish on the company. The management is continuously trying to innovate in order to curb softness in the non-res construction markets. The company has a strong reputation for turning around its operations.
It was once nothing more than a mess of different non-synergistic operations when Edward Breen took over the charge back in 2002. The new CEO spun off a collection of slow-growing business units and helped the company to half its debt in nine months. Tyco started the same initiative six months back in its North America security operations. There is another two-to-three months before this is totally reflected in the backlog.
On the capital allocation side, Tyco will continue to focus on bolt-on acquisitions ($200 million to $300 million would be on the larger side), a dividend payout in the 30% to 35% range, and share buybacks. The CEO did comment that the company would like to maintain its A- rating going forward. Hence, willingness to take on additional leverage seems minimal.
The security segment for this company grew at a higher-than-anticipated rate
Many don't know that Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) has a security segment. This is because its performance has been overshadowed by the stellar results of its construction and do-it-yourself (CDIY) segment. As outlined in one of my previous posts, the CDIY segment is flying high given the growth in res-construction rates. However, I also pointed out in the same post that CDIY under-performed in the recent earnings period given that the outdoor season was pushed four weeks ahead of the anticipated time. This happened because of the colder weather.
The organic revenue for Stanley's CDIY segment was flat in the recent period, missing consensus expectations by 5.6% and decelerating on a two- and three-year stack by 1,100 bps and 1,200 bps, respectively. However, Stanley reiterated full-year guidance for the CDIY segment, implying the company would recoup (not lose) those sales.
Now coming back to the security segment. The segment generated revenue of $599 million, which increased 1.2% versus 1Q12, beating the estimate of $588 million. Growth of 1% from acquisitions and 1% from favorable currency-rate movements were partially offset by a 1% organic decline. Organic growth of 3% in the North American Convergent Security division and 5% in the mechanical- access security segment was offset by a 5% organic decline in the European Convergent Security Solutions business.
Earnings before tax and interest (EBIT) of $62 million came in below the estimate of $71 million as margins of 10.3% in the segment missed the 12% estimate. EBIT margins were pressured in 1Q13 due largely to a negative mix in North America and the commercial-lock business as well as lower absorption in Europe. The company also identified $15 million in additional cost-cutting that it expects to realize later this year.
Overall, the stock remains a buy given that the bright future prospects of the CDIY segment will help the company to offset any weakness in its security business given that non-res construction continues to display sluggish growth.
This company plans to spin-off its security segment
Given the softness in the non-res construction market and the non-synergistic nature of the security business, Ingersoll Rand decided to spin-off this segment last December. The security operation, which is responsible for making locks and steel door frames, represents the smallest division of Ingersoll Rand with annual revenue of just $1.5 billion in 2012, forming just 11% of the company's total revenue of $14 billion for 2012.
The new standalone company will have about $2 billion in annual revenue with $1.6 billion in commercial security (dependent on the non-res construction markets) and $400 million in residential. The separation process is expected to be completed by the end of the year and a Form 10 Registration Statement is expected to be filed in mid-June. The management anticipates $150 million to $200 million in separation costs with the majority being professional consulting fees (banking, etc.) and restructuring charges.
The remaining part of Ingersoll will have about $12 billion in annual revenue with 68% coming from the sale of new equipment, and 32% coming from aftermarket revenue. The biggest end markets will be North America non-res at 30% of sales, 21% industrial, 17% overseas non-res, and 15% transport refrigeration.
On an overall note, with residential tailwinds, share buybacks ($2 billion over the next three-to-four quarters or 10%+ of current float), and activist involvement, downside is likely muted at current levels. However, near-term catalysts seem limited as the industrial markets have slowed and an upturn in the commercial markets is not likely until late 2013 or 2014.
Final word
Clearly, security businesses are facing tough times in North America given the current slowdown in the non-residential construction markets. Tyco is the only company that is a pure play on the growth in the security market. However, given a solid capital-allocation plan and strength in residential markets, I am bullish on Tyco. Stanley Black & Decker has other growing segments that will help it to face the declining income in its security business.

Great place to relax
We really liked the accommodations. Owners were very attentive; they called to check on our satisfaction. Everything was in perfect condition and just as advertised. We particularly liked the great room and fire pit. The chalet was close to many attractions. We couldn't have been happier.
Good Place to Stay!
We had a great time at the Brooklyn Mansion. The apartment was as pictured on the site. The place was clean and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The only negative is that the patio area outside needs a little cleanup. Otherwise, we were very pleased with the arrangements.
A 5 Star Experience in Times Square!
We had a 5 Star experience at this beautiful condo unit right in the heart of Times Square. The unit itself is spectacular and as advertised. We had four adults in our group and the condo had plenty of space and everyone enjoyed a good night's sleep (even the sleeper sofa was very comfortable). We didn't even hear the noise from the street as we slept! We loved the furnishings, and the views are like nothing else you could find staying in Times Square. The front desk guys were very helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations for breakfast (Pigalle was excellent) and dinner, and also for giving directions for where you wanted to go. Peter and Steven were also very responsive and gave us a wealth of information before our trip to NYC (including a fantastic pizza recommendation to eat at Don Giovanni's). The condo is perfectly situated at 48th Street and Broadway for easy walking to restaurants, the theater (we saw MOTOWN, fantastic), and the subway (took the 7 train to the US Open). They do not have a place to store luggage at the building, but gave us an excellent and inexpensive recommendation (Schwartz Travel & Storage) to store our luggage on our arrival day. Would go back again, and would definitely recommend this condo for anyone wanting to be at the center of all the activity in The Big Apple!
