The latest news and insights from Hanley Wood's outspoken experts and key thought-leaders throughout the residential and commercial design and construction industry.
How Helpful is the Price-to-Income Ratio in Flagging Bubbles?
Rocio Sanchez-Moyano / Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies / September 26, 2013
With the continued growth of house prices across the country, talk of a housing bubble is beginning to reappear in the headlines. House price-to-income ratios are often used to indicate a bubble, as prices have historically had a relatively stable relationship with incomes (both mean and median). In the US, nationally, the price-to-income ratio remained relatively stable throughout the 1990s. It began to increase around 2000 and surpassed its long-run average of 3.65 by 2002 (Figure 1). The national price-to-income ratio continued to increase in the mid-2000s, reaching a high ofRead More
More Evidence to Support Housing Recovery Still Moving Along
Jonathan Smoke / Hanley Wood / September 25, 2013
The headline from the Commerce Department report on new home sales this morning was that August delivered a 7.9% increase over July. The Commerce Department numbers for August surprised analysts just like the existing home sales data last week because it seems that many folks have bought into the idea that rising interest rates are choking off the nascent housing recovery. Once again I stand by the opinion that no conclusive data exist that show we are seeing sales decline. The only declines we are seeing consistently are typical seasonal declines in activity.

Sources of New Home Sales Financing
Robert Dietz / NAHB / September 23, 2013
While the sources of finance for new home sales have changed noticeably since the start of the Great Recession, cash sales remain more common for existing homes compared to new construction.
According to data from the Census Bureau's Quarterly Sales by Price and Financing, the onset of the housing crisis in 2007 led to a decline in the share of new home sales due to conventional mortgage financing and increases in the shares due to mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA), as well as cash purchases.

The Delayed American Household
Joshua J. Miller / NAHB / September 20, 2013
According to a recent report by the Census, married couples with children account for only 19.6% of all households in the U.S. The new figure represents a drop of 4.5 percentage points from 2000 when 24.1% of all households in the U.S. were married couples with children. The share of total households in 1970 was 40.3%.
As the share of households that include married couples with children decreased, one-person households and other household types rose. The share of one-person households increased from 17.1% in 1970 to 27.5% in 2012.
The dramatic decline in married households with childrenRead More
No, This Is Not the Last Hurrah for the Housing Recovery
Jonathan Smoke / Hanley Wood / September 20, 2013
Earlier this week the National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales were up in August over July when most economists were expecting a decline. Instead, the pace of sales in August was at the highest level since February 2007. Let me make one more important historical comparison. If we exclude 2002-2006 from our data set because of the abnormal level of activity in the heart of the housing boom, there have only been 5 other months in history (going back to 1968) that existing single-family home sales have been higher: January and February 2007, August and December 2001,Read More

For Immediate Release:Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622 Stephen Haag: 574-1204/ 645-1752The Metro Council's Community Affairs Committee will host a discussion of the topic of expunging minor offenses off a criminal record when it meets on Wednesday. February 1st.
"Many times, people may not be aware of how to expunge a misdemeanor offense off of their record," says Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin (D-2), who chairs the Committee. "Many Council people get calls for help from people who have a minor offense but cannot find work because of a criminal background check. So we thought the subject merits some attention."
The Committee will hear from lawyers and others about the expungement process when it meets in Council Chambers at 1:30pm.
The meeting will be carried live on Metro TV Insight Cable Channel 25. It will also be streamed live on the Metro Council web site at www.louisvilleky.gov/metrocouncil . Just click the "Watch gavel to gavel" icon.

Hilary Duff shares that she loves being a mum and is really enjoying breastfeeding her son Luca..."It's such a wonderful bonding time," says Duff. "Just to have your baby thrive and knowing that you're doing that and you're responsible — it's such a rewarding feeling."
She also revealed that she kept baby Luca's Umbilical cord stump when it fell off...
"You know what was a big milestone? The belly button falling off. That was a huge one. And then I wanted to keep it but my husband was like, 'No, that's gross, you can't keep it!' I'm like, 'I'm totally keeping it,' and I secretly kept it. But now it's not a secret anymore. It's in a Ziploc bag in the back of my makeup drawer. Luca's going to think I'm a freak!"
Did you keep your babies umbilical cord stump? What is your most treasured possession from your child?
I didn't keep it - but it would have been good for comical value because I think it traumatised my husband! A few days before it fell off I was breast feeding and there was a little lump in my son's onesie, which ended up being a spare press stud that mustn't have come off in the manifacture and washing process. When hubby changed him those days later he felt a lump again, thinking it was the same thing, but it was the cord stump - he jumped a mile and wouldn't touch it, it was too funny!
I kept my daughter's it's in a special box in her bag of special things and my Mum still has MINE and my sisters too in our baby books hehe it's where I learnt to do it from. Not grose at all and something that I was always impressed and fascinated with when she showed me as a young child I always prompted to learn more about babies inside the tummy and how they get their food etc... it's a great thing to see and know of yourself I think... a little special something from the time in the womb :)
i also have matilda's hospital bracelets, cot name card, all the balloons from when she's born some burst some still intact (grr cats lol) and I still have a couple of sick bags from the hospital in the bathroom too they come in HANDEH
I have everything from all 3 kids except Tilly's umbilical stump, they didn't use one of those plastic clips on hers and I lost it when it fell off. Jethro's and Violet's are still clipped and tucked in their baby books, along with hospital tags and hair snippets of various colours.
The umbilical cord was our first connection, I think it's special!
I kept the ones from both my sons too...for the first it wasn't really intentional I think we were just out at I put it in the ziplock bag that came with my nappy bag for nappies. Then it just kind of stayed in there, and then when I had my second son I just kind of added his to the bag...I don't know why but now I can't get rid of them lol...
I did also keep some of my first sons hair when he had his first haircut too I think, and my second son hasn't had his first haircut yet, but the time is upon us and I just have to work up to doing it cause I hate getting their first ever hair cut...hair is never the same afterwards...
Yep, I kept it. Gross or not I couldn't let it go. She can get rid of it when she is older if she likes.
I kept all three of my kids umbillical cord. My mum thinks it's gross that I kept them.
I didn't keep the umbilical stump, but I do have Lo's first tooth, and both boys first hair from haircut and hospital tags.
I was going to but I didn't know what the heck to do with it and it was kind of grose haha. I do however have hair from his first ahircut and a few drawings etc.
Oh dear. I'm so unsentimental. I even chuck out their artwork. It gets a one week roation on the fridge then into the bin.I hope facebook never dies. That's where all my memories are!

Check out the iPad Clock app that was added with iOS 6. It has four modes. The first lets you view time and weather around the world on a map. The second lets you set single or weekly repeating alarms with custom sounds. The other modes let you use a lap timer stopwatch and a count-down clock.
Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now. On today's episode let's take a look at the Clock app on the iPad.
So when the iPad originally came out, and for a while after, there was no clock app. There was no way to set an alarm or anything like that without a third party app. But with iOS 6 Apple added a clock app and it is kind of a neat app that is worth looking at.
So the Clock app works in either landscape or portrait mode and it starts off with the world clock. There is four different modes if you look along the bottom of the screen. The world clock is really cool. I allows you to put a bunch of different clocks at the top for different cities around the world and then it shows you this map with the light zone of light and dark and the clocks that you've got and even it puts weather up there for each of the different cities. So you can easily add here by just tapping on the clock with a plus button in it to the right and then add any city that you want into there. So you can for instance add one just by typing the first few letters doing the search and then it adds the clock to it.
You can also select a clock and it will get larger like that. You can edit the clocks here by rearranging the order very easily like that or deleting one if you want.
So the next mode is the alarm mode. This one is very useful too. It gives you a grid here for the entire week and any alarms you have set. To add an alarm hit the plus button at the top right and then you can choose if you want the alarm to repeat on certain days, what sound for it to use, whether it will allow you to hit a snooze button, and what sort of label to give it. You can give it any label that you want. Then you can set, of course, the time for it so I can save it there and you can see it appear there in the week. So if say I would add one that would repeat every week day like that and I would call it "My wake alarm" and set it for a time you would see it appear across the calendar just like that. Then you can edit these and either go into them or remove an alarm. So it is very handy for setting all sorts of different alarms and a different kind of schedule, an alarm for just the next day or an alarm that just repeats throughout the week.
The next mode is the Stop Watch mode. In the stop watch you can start the timer at zero and then you can get a list of laps. So you can press the lap button and it will record the lap time. You can hit stop and then start again or stop and reset. Pretty simple functionality. I can't imagine someone running with an iPad but a trainer perhaps may find this very useful.
So the last mode is the timer mode. Very simply you just set a time here and it will count down for you. You can set the sound by hitting the sound button and it lists it at the bottom under time. You can start, you can pause, resume, and finish early. So very useful if you need to set up your iPad to say time you during a presentation or for tests, or while studying, or any kind of work task. Very good because with the iPad's big screen it makes a very nice timer to put on your desk especially if you have a good stand for your iPad.
So there is a quick look at the clock app on the iPad. Of course a reminder that you need iOS 6 to have this app. Of course if you have an iPhone or an iPad Touch you also have a clock app that has many of the same functions. But the iPad app is a little bit nicer with the map and the temperature of the different cities and the week view of the alarms.
I hope you found this useful. Until next time this is Gary with MacMost Now.

South Beach Dining with Teenagers
We are going to South Beach this week and want our kids to get a good taste of what the SB scene is like. They are well traveled and have been to some great restaurants around the US and we want them to experience the hip places that serve great food. I have read/heard about the great options, but would like some others opinions as well. Nothing stuffy - I am thinking along the lines of the BLUE DOOR type, but we are opened to suggestions.
Any favorites?
In no particular order
China Grille
Tuscan Steak
Prime 112
Possibly the Astor -- if the old chef is back and it is good again...
Possibly Social
Perhaps you might go to A La Folie out west on Espanola for lunch or Bond Street in the basement of the Townhouse for Japanese. Otherwise, take them anywhere on Ocean Drive like the Clevelander and lecture them on how lucky it is their parents are attempting to provide them with some refinement.
ok all these places are ok.
but you want taste.
Delano, both restaurants are awesome.
Move over to downtown and try Capital Grill on 5th and Brickell or head on over to Brickell Key. Several different eateries with lost of cool atmosphere or go to Azul at the Mandarin Hotel. Be sure to finish with Azul dessert no matter which way you go.
Also at the Four Ambassadors theres Porcao, amazing Brazilian restaurant. Try there signature drink, The Caprinia
Good Luck
re: ishmaelp009
Umm, since the original poster mentioned the Blue Door I assumed they were aware of the restaurants @ the delano and did not want to go there.
My guess is that you have not been many of these restaurants recommended by the other posters as you did not seem to realize the Blue Door was one of the "awesome" restaurants at the Delano. I like the restaurants at the Delano btw and would rate the restaurants there in the class of the restaurants I listed. I refrained from Nobu which is the best of the lot because I thought it would be too expensive and it is a chain.
I would stick with south beach if that is where you are staying. No need to spend extra money going across the bay for dinner when there are plenty of great places in SOBE. Especially do not do Porcao. Great view. Solid but not amazing food. Mortons is better than Capital Grille btw and is also downtown.
Take them to Taverna OPA on the weekend and let them dance on the tables to the pulsating Greek rythems. Have them smash a plate ($4) and scream OPA at the top of their lungs!
The food is great too!!!
Try the prawns in a wine sauce app and the Rib Eye in Lemon Sauce, as well as any other Greek specialties you enjoy. Make sure they muddle up some fresh hummus for you too...OPA!

The Baltimore Ravens inside linebacker has provided us with numerous memorable plays that have made a significant impact in the games he has played over a 17-year NFL career. The list includes game-changing takeaways, vicious hits and game-saving tackles that have survived as memorable highlights of Ray Lewis' career.
Following are few of those brightest moments in Ray Lewis' career, starting off with his rookie season:
1. Remarkable pro debut (Sept. 1, 1996): During his first game in NFL, when the Baltimore Ravens faced the Oakland Raiders in the preseason, Ray Lewis amassed seven tackles and intercepted a pass by Billy Hobert in the end zone. By the end of the game, the Oakland Raiders lost 19-14 at home to the Baltimore Ravens.
2. Hell of a chase (Sept.28, 1997): Although the San Diego Chargers claimed a 21-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the second-year pro Ray Lewis stole the spotlight when he ran after and took down Chargers wide receiver Erick Metcalf, while taking a start from 15-yards behind.
3. 'Folded up like a baby' (Nov. 12, 2000): In a monumental 24-23 win over the Tennessee Titans for the eventual Super Bowl champions that season Baltimore Ravens, Ray Lewis delivered a vicious blow to Tennessee running back Eddie George. Afterwards, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister said that the hit was so hard that Eddie George "folded up like a baby."
4. Pick-six in Tennessee (Jan.7 2001): A key play by Ray Lewis decided the playoffs game for the Baltimore Ravens when Lewis picked a pass from Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair to Eddie George and returned it 50-yards for a score.
5. Super Bowl MVP worthy performance (Jan. 28, 2001): Ray Lewis was declared the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXXV in a 34-7 or the Baltimore Ravens, after he registered 11 tackles and tipped a pass from New York Giants' Kerry Collins, so that it was picked by Ravens linebacker Jamie Sharper.
6. Springing McAlister (Sept. 30, 2002): while Baltimore Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister returned a missed field-goal attempt 108 yards for a touchdown, Ray Lewis cleared the path delivering a crushing blow on Denver Broncos' Keith Burns in the process.
7. Welcome to the Pros (Sept. 29, 2008): In a 23-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ray Lewis ended the season of Steelers rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall, with a hit resulting in a shoulder fracture on his fourth NFL game.
8. Shutting-down Sproles (Sept. 20, 2009): Ray Lewis stopped a late rally by the San Diego Chargers in a 31-26 win for the Baltimore Ravens, by tearing through the offensive line the on fourth-and-2 to deliver a hard tackle on Chargers running back Darren Sproles for a 5-yard loss.
9. Bringing down Brady (Jan. 10, 2010): The Baltimore Ravens took a hands on approach to the New England Patriots in an early 33-14 playoffs win. Ray Lewis blitzed Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for a big sack that set the paced of the game for the Ravens.
10. Leaving Dustin Keller out cold(Sept. 13, 2010): Ray Lewis made a decisive play in the 10-9 win over the New York Jets by ramming Dutin Keller with a clean hard hit as the Jets tight end attempted to complete a pass over the middle.
Best of Ray Lewis's NFL career

This week, the NHL elected to cancel the first two weeks of their regular season due to the current impasse in labor negotiations with the players association.
In total, 82 games were cancelled, the equivalent of one team's full season schedule. And while headlines regarding the current lockout focus on the clash of stubborn personalities in NHLPA union leader Donald Fehr and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, there are endless more angles to discuss.
As pointed out in my previous column, any given regular season NHL game has the potential to make someone a fan for life. It also has the potential to open up the game to young fans in particular that may eventually develop their own skills to one day play professional hockey.
But see, while you and I may spend time thinking about these possibilities, commissioner Gary Bettman and the owners perpetrating the current lockout are acting in a shortsighted manner. They aren't thinking about the five-year-old Jets fan who plays on his local youth hockey team and what NHL games mean to him and his future.
The owners are also not thinking about the ushers, vendors, and other game day operations staffers and their families.
Nope, they are thinking about putting a lot of extra dimes in their pockets as soon as possible at the expense of their labor source.
Which brings me to the angle of focus for this column.
Not only does this lockout take money out of the players pockets, but it prevents many veteran players from the ability to walk out into the sunset playing their best hockey or even playing hockey at all.
And while the NHL has slowly prospered since the last lockout and missed season of 2004-05, there are a handful of former Sharks that San Jose fans did not get the opportunity to watch finish their careers on a high note or even a note at all.
In no particular order, the following five players donned the teal sweater for a significant portion of their careers. Each one of them had good hockey left in them going into the 2004-05 season only to see the 2003-04 campaign to be their last time in the limelight due to the lockout.
Mike Ricci (C) San Jose Shark 1997-2004
Mike Ricci was a fan favorite wherever he went. Known for excellent penalty killing and gritty third line play while with the Sharks, Ricci was also a solid scorer during the early portion of his career with Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche organization. During the 1992-93 season Ricci posted 27 goals and 78 points and followed that up with a 30 goal season both with the Nordiques.
The Scarborough, Ontario native transformed his game to a more defensive minded gritty center while with the Sharks. Fans loved his long hair and missing front teeth as well as his no nonsense/workman-like attitude. He blocked shots, scored goals (two time twenty goal scorer with San Jose) and to this day Ricci is still a part of the most talked about Sharks line combination in history.
For quite some time the line of Scott Thornton, Ricci, and Niklas Sundstrom was the best third line in hockey.
Unfortunately, the lockout came at a bad time for Ricci. While his point totals had been steadily declining leading up to the lockout, he still had the legs and youth to be a solid contributor to the 2004-05 Sharks.
However Ricci didn't play during the lockout and being in his mid-thirties that was too long of an absence to overcome. When the league returned Ricci found himself nearing retirement as a member of the lowly Phoenix Coyotes. Ricci played 76 games for the Coyotes in 2005-06 mustering just 16 points. The following season was his last in the league as he played just seven games for the Coyotes picking up just one assist.
Marcus Ragnarsson (D) San Jose Shark 1995-2003 and Mike Rathje (D) San Jose Shark 1993-2004
When you think of Sharks defenseman during the 1990's, the first two names that come to mind have to be Mike Rathje and Marcus Ragnarsson. Not only do they share the same initials but these two shared time on the Sharks blue-line for many seasons. Neither were the sexy offensive blue-liners that have predominately taken over today's game but back then they executed their defensive roles to a tee.
Unfortunately for both, the lockout came at a time that they couldn't afford. Ragnarsson spent his last 1.5 NHL seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers from 2002-03 through 2003-04. Another player in his mid thirties, Ragnarsson elected to retire from the league rather than wait around. Instead he returned home to play in his native Sweden.
Rathje also finished his NHL career with the Philadelphia Flyers. Yet he was still a key defensive cog for the 2003-04 Sharks squad that earned the franchise's first ever conference finals appearance. However Rathje did not play during the lockout and only played 97 games over the next two seasons for the Flyers but injuries along with the lockout helped cut his career short.
Vincent Damphousse (C) San Jose Sharks 1998-2004
Perhaps best known for his years with the Montreal Canadiens, Vincent Damphousse was one of those players whom the puck seemed to follow around like a magnet. Damphousse combined that great hockey sense with elite level talent. For his career the Montreal native scored 432 goals and added 773 assists. It is this writer's opinion that "Vinny" belongs in the hall of fame.
Even though his years with the Sharks were clearly the tail end of his career, Damphousse still managed to be a solid top-six contributor. Acquired during the 1998-99 season, Damphousse mad a splash into the Sharks lineup scoring what I recall (having trouble verifying this on the web) to be two short-handed goals in his first game. Not only that but overall Damphousse registered 13 points in his first 12 games with San Jose.
Over the next few seasons Damphousse continued to be a team leader and top-six caliber center. In five full seasons with San Jose (to end his career) Damphousse posted season point totals of 70, 46 (in 45 gms), 58, 61, and 41.
In other words he was still an extremely productive scorer even as he aged. In his final season in the league he helped the Sharks to within six wins of a Stanley Cup. During the 2003-04 playoffs Damphousse was nearly a point per game player as he led the Sharks with 14 points in 17 games. Everyone remembers Patrick Marleau's two hat tricks, but yes, Damphousse led the team in playoff scoring.
But instead of playing one more year with the Colorado Avalanche whom he had signed with during the Summer of 2004, Damphousse would never skate again in the NHL and it is a shame. He could have very well continued his solid play for a season or two more. Instead, fans were left wondering in the years after the lockout "whatever happened to Vincent Damphousse?"
Jeff Friesen (LW) San Jose Sharks 1994-2001
Jeff Friesen is one of the iconic Sharks of the 1990s. He flashed onto the scene with wicked speed as a young rookie and was an integral part of the Sharks teams during the decade. A consistent 60 point scorer for the Sharks, Friesen was traded along with goaltender Steve Shields to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Teemu Selanne during the 2000-01 season.
Friesen struggled with the Ducks over a season and a half before finding his way again with the New Jersey Devils and scoring a Stanley Cup winning goal for the Devils in 2003. However the lockout came at a bad time for Friesen.
While he had played in 81 games in each of the previous three seasons, Friesen didn't play during the lockout. When the NHL returned, Friesen bounced around from three different teams the next two seasons scoring just 23 points in 123 games with Washington, Anaheim and Calgary.
Certainly there were other mitigating factors than just the lockout for the lack of NHL production from these players but each and everyone of these former Sharks had gas left in the tank going into the 2004-05 season.
And it is simply a shame that the missed season due to the lockout emptied the majority of what was left in those NHL tanks.

Review: Two Sinful SecretsNovember 12, 2013
Two Sinful Secrets is a sexy page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Laurel is a skillful and talented storyteller, I couldn't get enough, turning the pages in a frenzy to see how the plot would develop. Interesting main characters who are great together, and a not so typical story made this book special in my opinion. I won't give away much about the plot line, but you never know what might happen next.
I wanted more from the secondary characters, but since this is the first book in the series, I look forward to the sequels. You won't find a huge cliffhanger by the ending, don't worry, but you'll want more for the fun of it.
McKee crafted a highly pleasurable reading experience.

Hi Camila,
I'm thinking of doing the Ultimate European plus Greek Islands in June or July. I'm not sure which tour to pick though as I'd like to get to know a few people before I book it.
I see you've done tours through Contiki. Have you done a 4 week plus tour before?

Living with libido loco? For a growing number of women, declining hormones, job stress, relationship issues, and other problems are taking their toll in the bedroom.
Loss of sexual desire, known in medical terms as hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), is the most common form of sexual dysfunction among women of all ages. A recent study showed that nearly one-third of women aged 18 to 59 suffer from a lost interest in sex, and it's not all in their heads.
Recommended Related to Sex & Relationships
By Keith Ablow, M.D. You married a great guy. But you're stuck in a romance rut. Here's your road map to getting the relationship you want with the husband you still cherish. A happily married woman told me recently that she has a secret way of recapturing the feeling of being in love that she had as a young bride. When she and her husband go out to dinner, she'll watch how other people — a waitress, a friend they're out with that night, an acquaintance who stops by their table — are responding...
Read the 30 Days Back to Love article > >
Unlike men's main sexual complaint, erectile dysfunction, women's biggest sexual problem is caused by a combination of both mental and physical factors, which aren't likely to be cured by merely popping a pill.
"Women's sexuality tends to be multifaceted and fairly complicated," says sex psychologist Sheryl Kingsberg, PhD. "Although we would love to simplify it so we could have the one-two or even a one-punch treatment, it doesn't tend to work that way."
But the introduction of anti-impotence treatments in the last few years has spurred more research into the causes of sexual dysfunction among both men and women, and effective therapies are available to help put the lust back into women's lives.
What Is Low Sexual Desire?
Contrary to popular belief, experts say frequency of sexual intercourse has nothing to do with sexual desire or satisfaction.
"One of first things I do in speaking to women who come in with sexual concerns is let them know that there is no normal frequency or set of behaviors and things change with time," says Jan Shifren, MD, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. "If it's working for them and/or their partner, there is no problem."
But when a woman experiences a significant decrease in interest in sex that is having an effect on her life and is causing distress, then it's considered a problem of low sexual desire or HSDD.
Kingsberg says that sexual desire is more than just an issue of low libido or sex drive. She says sexual drive is the biological component of desire, which is reflected as spontaneous sexual interest including sexual thoughts, erotic fantasies, and daydreams.
Kingsberg, who is an associate professor of reproductive biology at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine says, "It's about your body signaling that it wants to be sexual. Whether or not there is any intention to act on it, we all have a certain level of drive."
That sexual drive declines naturally with age based on physiological factors. But sexual desire also encompasses interpersonal and psychological factors that create a willingness to be sexual.
"Above and beyond horniness, it is the sense of intimacy in the relationship," says Kingsberg. "If you are mad at your spouse, you could be horny but you're not going want to be sexual with that particular person."

What have you learnt from watching TEDTalks?
I often find myself bringing up things I have learnt from TEDTalks in conversations with friends and colleagues. What are some of the things you have learnt from watching TEDTalks, that you did not know before?
Dain BrammageJun 30 2011: The most important thing I have learned is that there are millions of people who want to make the earth a better place. I thought I was alone. There is never anything on the news about it, they just want to program us to behave the way they want us to. I found a new lease on life because of this realization, and TED is responsible for my enlightenment.

Jul 26 2011: There might be an Open-TV project in your location! http://www.ted.com/pages/427
Edit: the "find TEDTalks on a TV station near you" seems to be down, I've written to TED about this.. update as soon as possible.
Joe GallagherJul 3 2011: Three years ago I had a pessimistic biased view of people in general, but TED show me a new kind of people I never know before.
Watching TED talkers I realizing how many brilliant and generous minds are in the planet, and it makes me more positive about people. In TED I see humanity and it gives me a great feeling about the future.
TED talks make me a better persona.
Great question Martin. It becomes fully conscious to me when you asked.
Jul 3 2011: :)
My initial thought was about learning facts and stuff, but through all the answers you have all given, I realize that I too have learnt more than mere facts. It's a new way of seeing things, a new outlook on making a difference, getting involved and expanding ones horizon. Thanks for all your great responses!
Mihail MusatJul 11 2011: Yes, I believe this is the case for me too. TED showed me that is possible to live up my dreams. TED gave me and still gives me inspiration. Speaking about facts, at the end of 2009 I used this speech http://www.ted.com/talks/richard_st_john_s_8_secrets_of_success.html as a tool to evaluate my year and plan the year ahead. Thanks for this great topic!
Adam Elias
Debra Smith 200+Jun 30 2011: I think I have watch most of the TED talks that I have found. I have even gone back into the archives. As I tried to distill what I have learned- one word popped out of my subconscious- HOPE. I have learned to really confidently hope again that the world will be OK. This spirit which loves goodness, wisdom, humanity, growth etc. etc. is still firmly alive and widely dispersed. TED taught me to have real hope again.
Jimmy Strobl 50+
Debra Smith 200+
Renise BlackJul 7 2011: I have learned
1. The value of life
2. The amazing abilities of so many out there
3. To expand my consciousness and awareness
4. That there are so many very smart people out there and I love it
5. The infinite variety of ideas, innovation and knowledge we can all share
...just a few off he top of my head.
Jan Kadlec 200+Jul 17 2011: I was just writing a similar answer when I discovered this one.
I haven't learnt much on TED in terms of facts or some kind of knowledge. Actually, the more Talks I watch and translate, the more I feel small and that "I only know that I know nothing".
However, I have learnt something more important that facts. With every Talk I discover the human capacities and possibilities and it's a great source of inspiration. They DID it, they did something great. And when they did, why couldn't I?
I have learnt to overcome myself and try things I was only dreaming about. I overcame my fear of travelling and using foreign languages and I went for an exchange abroad. Thanks to TED. And now, studying abroad, I learn many new things every day, to respect other people and cultures, how language affects understanding the world, how little details can change your life.
Without watching and translating TEDTalks, I would have probably never tried anything new and I would have been stuck in my mind forever. TED has openned my mind and I'm very grateful for that.
Jul 6 2011: My learning was complex. While watching hundreds of talks from the TED archives, I felt reassured that I have a clue about what is going on in the world, and at the same time I gained a new tool for social change. Earlier I tried to change my country by building an NGO from scratch, but two years ago I realized I could support the change from a different angle and started translating and reviewing TED talks (beyond posting TED talk links to my facebook wall). So, due to this experience I managed to learn new skills: video subtitle translation and review. After a while I got the TED associate status for my TED translations and started watching the TED conferences live online and I had the feeling that I need to take my blogging activity to the next level, and I started live TED conference blogging. Again, a new skill. And it is all voluntary, nobody asked me to do all this. TED for me is a multi layered learning experience: the talks, the interdisciplinary knowledge, the sharing, the changing, the translating, the reviewing, the live blogging...
Jul 5 2011: I teach Public Speaking in English at a University in South Korea. I have my students listen to TED talks for evaluation homework. It's great because they can find topics in their own majors (which are varied) or in an area of personal interest plus it helps them to evaluate what was good or bad about the speech. They even develop quite a continuing interest in listening to TED after the class is over. We LOVE TED!
Ian HuangJul 5 2011: I taught EFL at a local private institution in Taipei. In an one on one lesson I have asked my student to transcribe part of TED talk to help him with his listening ability. After transcription he then can compare his works with the transcripts on the TED's website to see how well he can listen. And I can help him to see what error has he made and how can he correct it. TED's speech is authentic, real, intelligent and rich in it's contents and quality, which is in my opinion very good audio material for teaching advanced listening. LOVE TED, too! =)
Debra Smith 200+
Jul 4 2011: You can learn fascinating things on topics you would have never guessed would interest you on Ted.com
I play a little game. find the video that looks the least interesting to you and watch it! You'll be surprised. I watched an hour long lecture on birds. I discovered the parallels (?) between the fashion industry and the music/movie industry (and their fight with P2P networks, copyrights)
I found my favorite author, lobbyist, spokesperson for common since in law. Phillip K Howard. His ideas have influenced how I think about most of my actions.
Harald Jezek 50+
Adam EliasJul 24 2011: I am surprised by the response. One word can change the world if we latch onto it. 20 minute talks are lengthy. I have been so intensely moved by such short talks as "Try Something New for 30 Days", and "Building Parks in the Sky". Doesn't take a lengthy, structured lecture. Takes motivation, enthusiasm, follow-through. I agree wholly on this: One *must* build upon them. Good call.
Comment deleted
Jul 5 2011: That it's okay to be wrong.
Jul 5 2011: TED talks have helped to clarify my life's purpose. Although I can't really quantify it, let's just say that in my first 37 years as a meat-eating, car driving consumer in a 1st world country, in my mind I've symbolically contributed to the painful demise of 10 blue whales. If, for the remainder of my life, I can make amends and save the symbolic equivalent of 11 blue whales, then I'll have made a net positive difference. I'm hoping that math reckons itself in the afterlife though. :-)
But specifically, Ray Anderson has taught me that business is the fastest and most effective way to save the world. If he could do a mid-course correction for a transnational corporation, then there's no excuse for other companies not to do the right thing and still make a profit. I'm very happy with the performance of my Interface stock. Mainly because of Ray, I'm leading a green team at my work place. Janine Beynus has opened my eyes to the truth of biomimicry and revealed that those who follow mother nature's rules will succeed. From her teachiings, I feel that I intentionally came across an article for Project Kaisei. I am now a volunteer for Project Kaisei and am doing all I can to avoid using plastics and styrofoam in my life and spreading the word. Jill Bolte Taylor spelled out our interconnectedness to one another and everything around us. She taught me that it's my relationships to all beings that will underscore true happiness and that our bodies and minds are a gift to be used in that capacity.
Jul 4 2011: First, a fun fact, I've knew about this page a few months ago, because a professor, in my school, show us a TED Talk of Simon Sinek, trying to inspiring us (I study Graphic Design). While I was seeing the Talk, I told to myself, "hey that's what I think!".
After that class, I enter to the page and I get fascinated with all the Talks, all the ideas from too many people, so different each one, without caring about their religious, politics, jobs, nationalities, but with one point in common: trying to make a better world.
I've started some proyects, trying to make a change in my country (Mexico), before TED I was inspired, but now, I'm the double inspired to make the change, and to don't give up so easily, that is a long road, but it would worth it.
What I've learnt? Inspiration, don't give up, and I'm not the only one making a change.
Sorry if I've some mistakes in the text.
Joan Viaene
Jul 26 2011: ...that any shred of cynicism I've had about our world's future is entirely unwarranted. Now well into my '30s, I'm in that middle ground between youthful optimism and veteran scorn. I now feel myself being pulled back toward optimism as I see SO many talented, creative, and (most of all) hopeful people striving to make the world better. That so many look and think nothing like me gives me an even greater sense of pride.
Jul 18 2011: I find myself spreading the word of TED almost every 3:d talk that comes up here, just because you do learn a thing or two or TED acts as a great news source that actually gives you real live news about interesting topics.
I've learned a lot about the human study, the brain and the body..
How society works and what's going on around the world.
Stories that facinates me like the one about "Suspended animation" or the outcome of putting children in charge of modern day problems.
TED, as Stephen below mentioned, acts as a gateway between people that are interested or knowlage.
And on TED, everyone is equal, this is the only forum that i know where gender, age or race does not matter.
I'm glad to be able to take in the information that is shared from within the community!
Wylie Tsang 10+Jul 16 2011: TED for me is more than learning 'something new' or 'skills for my daily life'. Instead I get inspired, shocked and surprised by so many wonderful (as well as miserable) things that happened in this world.
Life is wonderful and interesting just because there is always something NEW to explore. TED is like a booster to my curiosity to this world and things around me.
Amy Hu
Tim Riches 10+Jul 7 2011: I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness, leaving the group (and home) at the age of 17. Part of the recovery process was accepting that the world was not getting worse, and was in fact getting better all the time. I now spend a fair amount of my time helping others to leave that high-control group, and TED talks are a big part of that. Steven Pinker, Hans Rosling and many others have given me the ammunition I need in order to convince many (including myself) that we are headed for a bright future indeed. Thanks, TED!
Diana Long
Jun 30 2011: The talks that are my personal favorites are David Gallow: Underwater astonishments, Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight, Jonathan Drori: Why we are storing billions of seeds and Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world.
Indirectly I have learned that any one of these videos can spark a TON of interest on a topic, and you really get to see all sides of thought in comments from hundreds of experts, hobbyists and the general public. I have been participating in the TED conversations lately and think this is an incredible opportunity for people to get real critisism from all walks of life. TED has change my life :D

Jimmy Strobl 50+Jul 25 2011: Part 1
Early on in this conversation I stated that I didn't know where to begin, and that's still true but scrolling through what I shared on Facebook yesterday might be a good place to start. so here it goes! (Thank you Joe Delsen for pushing me)
I'd like to say that the things I share about each Talk is just a bit of what I've learned about them and that i point to knowledge and not the feeling these Talks also gave me!
http://www.ted.com/talks/mechai_viravaidya_how_mr_condom_made_thailand_a_better_place.html Taught me not only how condoms can change a society and it's birth rate but how a country, or rather the inhabitants of a country are easily empowered to do so if you just educate everyone a bit and... replace Coca cola with condoms.
http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/TEDxSaltLakeCity-Jason-Fairbour;Most-popular Taught me a new word "Micro-Franchising" and how sustainable it is in comparison to Micro-financing. I also learned the importance of providing cosmetics to third world places and how it improves on self-esteem.
http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/TEDxTokyo-Gunter-Pauli-Balancin;Featured-Talks Taught me an ingenious way of harvesting both solar and wind power (and much more) and that there is actually a really good, well developed list of how to make the world (and your part) sustainable.
http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/TEDxCMU-Luis-von-Ahn-Duolingo-T;Most-popular Taught me that every time I send an Email through TED I contribute to deciphering books that computers can't read, I also learned that approximately 750 million people have done this, just by contributing 10 seconds every now and then. I also learned of a great free language-learning website that you are doing good by using, and it's free!
http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/TEDxManhattan-Dr-Melony-Samue-2;Most-popular Taught me about the possibility of farming in the Bronx, turns out all you had to do was educate some people and their neighbors will follow! (ran out of chars)

Breathe… something I need to remember to do!
I have been so busy that I haven't been able to bore you with my wordy posts! My husband and I traveled to Washington D.C. last week to attend the ordination of a dear friend; I can't believe the silly guy I met 10 years ago is now a priest! The trip was wonderful but exhausting. We had 2 days at home and then did a 3 day retreat! It was rewarding but a lot of work; we were on the team presenting it and worked pretty hard. We hope to chill out a bit now.
My first class at Bead it! will be Wednesday afternoon- that is exciting too! I haven't taught a class since the demise of beadniks in early May. Here is the pdf of the class if you want to see what it is about- the second class will happen in July. http://beaditcolorado.com/pdf/Artistic%20Metals_Get%20Connected_Class%20Flyer.pdf
I am going to start cutting and hammering some aluminum now for two guitar pick necklaces. I love how I can sell on Etsy when I am everywhere- all I need is the internet! http://www.etsy.com/listing/69349037/necklace-guitar-pick-aluminum
Just remember to breathe!
So excited! One of my wordy posts recently was about the demise of beadniks Denver- I was disappointed to say the least and was wondering if I would find another place to teach different jewelry techniques. Today I spoke with Laurel, the owner of Bead it! and her manager, Jessie. I am excited to say that I will be starting soon as an instructor of three classes with more to follow.
I will fill you in when I get a schedule going. We have to figure out class times and gather the rest of the supplies.
fun week!
Classes are hopping right along at beadniks http://www.beadniks.com/highlandsranch/classes.php and I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and teaching such fun and creative people! I did this little guy today during and after class. I made the flower while instructing Judy and Jen in my Artistic metals class. When it was over, I popped the little rivet through the flower to attach it to the pendant, which was worked on over the last couple of classes. Way to multi-task!
I was hoping to take pics of my latest shearing; I got a short, sassy haircut for spring, but I have puffy, red eyes from allergies. Perhaps tomorrow, if I pop a couple of benedryl, I can get a picture. My avi doesn't look so much like me.
I went to Old Navy today looking for jeans- I wanted some from Gap, but decided to be frugal. I got to use a 30% off thingy because the cashier was nice; I saved another 9 bucks on top of the $30 less the jeans cost there as opposed to Gap. They are the same jeans for crying out loud! I have to go back and get the cute pink open-toed shoes with the little bow on them- and then, I will need a pedicure! What a job it is, being a girl :)
Here it is…
The cake escapade of 2010 is over; whew! I will say, it was fun; however, having so much to do at once isn't. I felt a little like a fraud using pre-made flowers, but I knew that when I was called last Saturday to do this, I would accept any help offered. I picked the flowers up from the daughter of the couple celebrating their anniversary and felt relief that I would not be staying up all night for a week making crazy flowers that the kids would eat in 10 seconds!
I had a fun class yesterday; I taught a mother and daughter how to rivet. They have been such enthusiastic students and want to take the my resin class as well. I feel so flattered to be able to share my joy of creating with a great variety of people.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
We have ignition!
My first class at Beadniks will be next Tuesday, Oct. 13th. I am soo excited! It will be a soldering class, my favorite! Stephanie, the owner, has been so wonderul getting all the things I need for the classes I am going to teach there.
The picture is of a scrabble tile pendant I made with Diamond Glaze. I did a mini-collage using different scrapbook papers. I think my first DG class will be on the 26th.
Eating raw is going well. I know that I am used to uncooked food now. I burned my mouth eating a thing today that wasn't too hot. I had to have falafel at Garbazo's today. I only had 3, which is a big sacrifice. I eat about 95% raw each day, and thought that the stuff there, hummus, veggies, etc. would be pretty tasty. The falafels burned my mouth though! I never thought about that aspect of raw eating!
Stay warm everyone! I am shivering as I write this. It snowed a bit today! Grrrr!

As NewChannel 11 first told you, the Albertsons store at South Loop 289 and Slide Road will close in August.
This announcement comes just 3 months after their location at 50th and Indiana shut down. NewsChannel 11 has learned come the first week of August the fourth and final Alberstons will leave the Hub City.
"I'm very surprised. I knew other stores had closed but I was really hoping that this one would keep going," said Janet Miles, a regular at the South Loop and Slide Road Albertsons store.
Albertsons media contact Jennifer Vroman tells NewsChannel 11 the 6524 Slide Road store had been struggling financially for a while, so corporate decided to close it.
This is an unhappy thought for faithful shopper Alice Bell.
"I don't live very far away. You know I kinda hate to see them close," says Bell.
Yet some say this closure comes as no surprise.
Shopper Jason Northrup says, "Theie other store closed a few months ago and United is a big store in Lubbock, so it seemed like a matter of time."
But with the doors closing about 100 Alberstons employees stand to lose their jobs.
"I've got a family member that works here, so probably lose their job," says shopper Natalie Ward.
Vroman says there are no transfer opportunities for employees unless their willing to move from Lubbock. In addition, if that is the case, she tells us humans resources will assist.
Still Bell says it's hard to believe her local supermarket will soon be no more.
"I knew the others in town had closed, but you're never quite ready for a business to go out," adds Bell.
The closing of this store marks the 4th to leave the Hub City in a decade. As you may remember, the store at 4th and University closed in November of 1997. Another closing did not follow until March of 2005, when the 4th and Slide store shut down. Most recently, the store on 50th and Indiana put up closed signs March 11.
Again, Alberstons at the South Loop and Slide is expected to close the first week of August. At this time, there is no word on what company may fill the Alberstons building.

THat would really hit the spot right now.
I'm burnin' on an empty tank ... small bowl of cereal at 7:00am, then missed lunch. Now 1:42pm. Even though it's after lunch, I can't get Denny's "Grand Slam" breakfast out of my head. Hell, I'm so hungry right now I'd get the Lumberjack.
I'm gonna be so hungry by 6:30pm tonight that I'll start seeing people as turkeys like Newman did Kramer.

I agree with the previous user in that I am surprised there aren't more reviews for this recipe! My husband and I enjoyed these. Couldn't find creme fraiche (and didn't feel like making it) so I used heavy cream instead. Very flavorful and easy to prepare. Will definitely make again.
Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Crepes
Becky Luigart-Stayner; Melanie J. Clarke and Celine Chenoweth
Buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli counter, and use the breast meat for this recipe. You'll have some leftover chicken for another meal later in the week. If you can't find baby portobello mushrooms, use cremini mushrooms. Look for packaged crepes in the produce aisle.

"People like people smiling," Mrigank Mehta, 14, declares when refl ecting on his fi rst day taking part in Voices. "Canadians are friendly, of course. Smiling is good." He learned a lot about Canadians that day in the discussion about peace and respect. "I would recommend this program to any newcomer youth if they want to know more about Canadian culture."
Last year, Mrigank spent his summer as a participant in Voices: the YMCA Newcomer Youth Film Project, where he and his two partners learned how to make a short fi lm inspired by their experiences immigrating and settling in Canada. He took part in several workshops that showed him how to develop an idea into a story, how to use a digital camera and film equipment, how to edit his own footage, and even how to expose and market his work to different audiences.
Throughout the project Mrigank received mentorship from working professionals in Toronto's fi lm industry and was supported by YMCA Newcomer Youth Specialists who helped him understand the curriculum and engage in activities that allowed him to learn more about himself and his peers. "I wanted to meet new people and make new friends," adds Mrigank.
His parents learned about Voices when they came to the YMCA for settlement support. They knew it was the right program for him. His family's move to Canada was a result of the global fi nancial crisis; his home city of Dubai was hit hard. "The economy was getting worse," says Mrigank. At the time, he was a trained dancer in the styles of Bollywood, street jazz and hip hop, and skilled in locking and popping. He is also an aspiring DJ and music producer, with certifi cates and awards to his name, and he knew relocating meant new opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Looking back on his fi lm journey, he values the support he received. "The instructors were so into it. They had lots of knowledge and they took us to many places," Mrigank says, referring to trips to the National Film Board and the Power Plant, an art gallery where he learned more about the arts culture in Canada.
The family is now looking forward to the upcoming YMCA Voices Film Festival, where Mrigank's fi lm, Rough Start, made with two other boys, will premiere before an audience of hundreds. "I'm really very excited about the upcoming festival. I have been counting the days," he says. The event at the new Bell Lightbox will be hosted by Aliya-Jasmine Sovani, MTV host and producer. Guests from the settlement, education, employment, and arts and government sectors are expected to attend, as well as members of the fi lm festival circuit and various youth groups. For the fi rst time, the general public is also invited — making this year's festival the largest yet.
The Voices experience has made Mrigank more confi dent to pursue his talent. "Ten years from now, I see myself like a big star," he says excitedly. "It's what I've always dreamed of."
