Last Sunday I put on a party to celebrate my son's high school graduation. Unbeknownst to him I'd put together three 20′ x 30′ posters - all collages of photos from his childhood. Normally he would find this sort of thing incredibly embarrassing. Thankfully he attended several friends' graduation parties the weekend before his and now views this as an annoying yet acceptable thing for a parent to do. Especially after a number of his female classmates showed up and gushed over the pics.
Creating the posters was an incredibly emotional process. So much nostalgia! All the feelings! And wow, this kid - like many of his generation - has had a well documented life. Only a handful of photos were ever taken or printed from my childhood and most are yellowing and faded. While I worked on this project I happened to catch an episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast and that got me thinking about timeslice errors and the stories we tell ourselves. It makes sense that our brains aren't machines, storing perfect copies of memories. Rather those memories can change each time we access them and be colored by information we've learned since or how we're feeling at a given moment. Although this doesn't apply in the same way to traumatic memories. I find it all fascinating.
Five Good Things for Mid-Week:
- Since winter finally ended I've been outside as much as possible. I already have a ridiculous tan line on my feet from my hiking sandals (it makes my feet look filthy). But this weekend we'll be indoors a bit when going to see The Incredibles 2. Our lives were so very different in 2004, when the first one was released.
- Over the last two days the world has been fascinated by a wayward raccoon in our very own Twin Cities: High-Climbing Raccoon Finally Reaches Top Of St. Paul Skyscraper And America Exhales. My pal Danielle is from MN but lives in Rome. She watched the hand-wringing raccoon situation unfold along with the rest of us, and created some art! It can be purchased on a t-shirt or a tote bag.
- Northern Spark is this weekend. Organizers are changing things up and making it two nights, from 9:02am - 2am, instead of one night from dusk until dawn.
- In the Dark season 2 has been riveting, but also infuriating! So much systemic racism. And yes, I realize that's everywhere but dang. This case. Makes me want to slap some sense into the District Attorney and juries and some witnesses from all six trials. Everyone should be listening to this podcast.
- We missed Open Streets Lyndale last weekend, because of grad party prep, and that was just blocks from home. But there are still loads more coming up in other neighborhoods. Summers in Minnesota are filled with activity. I'm particularly excited by the Bell Museum's grand opening but that's the same weekend as a cool event up on the Iron Range. Dilemma.

Windows Vista may look like a dinosaur in the new age of lightweight online services and Web 2.0 software development but it will certainly come with a powerful bite.
That is the hope on Wall Street and among investors as Microsoft prepares finally to take the wraps off a software product that has come to symbolise the software giant's struggle to adapt to the newer, faster-moving world of the internet.
Conceived five years ago and arriving two years later than first planned, Vista is a gargantuan project that was hampered by excessive ambition. Microsoft finally dropped a core part of the new architecture it had planned for the system to end the delays, prompting Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer, to promise that the company would never again commit itself to such an ambitious, one-off overhaul.
Yet Vista also represents the most important new product cycle in Microsoft's original core business, of PC operating systems, since the launch of Windows 95. Back then, there were about 100m PCs in use around the world: that number has since grown to 800m, creating a massive potential market for both Vista and a new version of Office, both of which will be unveiled formally in New York on Thursday.
As with all releases of Windows and Office, the biggest competition for Microsoft will not come from new rivals such as open-source system Linux or online services offered by Google and others but from the inertia among PC users who consider their existing software to be good enough.
Consumers are typically the first to buy a new PC operating system, with a few early adopters drawn by new graphics or features that promise a better experience. More significant for Microsoft, though, will be the pace at which large corporations make the switch – something that typically only comes 18 months or two years after launch, as companies wait for early bugs to be ironed out and go through the long process of testing their many applications on the new system.
The massive job of selling the benefits of Vista to large companies begins in earnest with Thursday's formal launch. But for big companies, "the cost of the upgrade is going to exceed the benefits of the operating system," warns Michael Silver, an analyst at Gartner. That means, he adds, that to get value from Vista, companies will "need to go beyond the operating system to improve the manageability" of their PCs.
Vista makes it easier for IT departments to manage large numbers of machines centrally, reducing the amount of costly time spent dealing with each user's machine. To get those benefits, companies will have to change the way they operate, often by taking control of the PC away from users – something that some office workers could object to, according to Mr Silver.
Translating this massive software renewal cycle into hard financial projections, meanwhile, depends on a number of factors.
One is how many PC users choose to upgrade by installing Vista on their existing machines. This will be a small percentage, since most only upgrade when they buy a new PC, but it could still have a significant impact on Microsoft's revenues. This could add $800m-$1bn to Microsoft's revenues in the first 12 months, "but it's possible it could be twice that," says Rick Sherlund, software analyst at Goldman Sachs.
A second question is how successful Microsoft proves in persuading customers to buy new "premium" versions of the operating system. Consumers, for instance, will have to pay extra for a version that comes with "Aero," the new user interface that adds a glassy finish to the graphics.
Lifting the average selling price for Windows by $5, from the $80 or so it currently makes, would add 5 cents a share to its earnings by 2008, according to Charles Di Bona, software analyst at Sanford C Bernstein.
A third factor will be whether Vista stimulates a new PC upgrade cycle. Most companies do not tie their PC purchases to Windows product cycles, yet the length of time since the last major release may have left some pent-up demand that will drive more PC upgrades than would otherwise have been the case, according to analysts.
For Microsoft, all this adds up to an expected reacceleration in Windows PC revenues – a division that now accounts for only 30 per cent of its revenues - at the same time that other large new products cycles are set to peak. As a result, overall growth could "settle in the lower- to mid-teens," says Mr di Bona. That may not come close to Google-style growth but few other companies with revenues that will top $50bn this year will come close to matching it.

Walking Each Other Home
June 12, 2018 by Chris Grosso
It is such an honor to have been asked to write an endorsement for Ram Dass's final book (co-authored with the amazing Mirabai Bush)! Click HERE to pre-order!!!
"In their poetic and captivating dialogue, Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush reflect on what it means to be human: to live and love; to experience joy, heartbreak, and the fear and freedom that laying it all aside brings as we awaken to our true Self. Walking Each Other Home is a deep and genuine transmission of the heart—a gift for us all." — Chris Grosso, author of Indie Spiritualist, Everything Mind, and Dead Set on Living

It is really unbelievable – it is strange to even think of a place where people live with snakes and are not scared of them even a bit. Such a village exists in Maharashtra! Shetpal – a village in India where people practically live with snakes is a real place near Pune, Maharashtra. Yes, really!
Shetpal is roughly 200kms from Pune, Maharashtra is the land of snake charmers. Due to the region's dry and arid environment, loads and loads of snakes of different varieties freely roam the village. In fact, the villagers find them to be their family and welcome them inside their homes every day (some snakes live inside their homes so, in that case, it's vice-versa)!
The village that is located in Sholapur district worships snakes of all kinds every single day. Nobody knows how this practice originated in this village with a small population of around 2500.
Whenever the villagers build a new home, they make sure that there is a special 'hollow' created for the resting of these snakes. This 'hollow' is known as devasthan. And not just any snakes – here we are talking about deadly cobras! These reptiles wander freely in the homes of the villagers and the villagers never harm them. They are not even scared! They consider the presence of a very large amount of snakes as a blessing from God.
What more? Even the children play with the snakes! It is very common to find snakes in the schools and classrooms of children, as if they were just another animal. Eerie for us isn't it?
There is a temple called Siddeshwar temple in the village where those who are bitten by these snakes are cured as the locals believe that the deity has the power to do so. The temple has the copper idol of a seven-hooded cobra over Lord Shiva. However, the villagers claim that not a single case of snake-bite has been reported so far!
In Indian mythology, naga or the snake is considered to be sacred and it symbolises Lord Shiva. The serpent is also known as the symbol of fertility. It also represents birth, rebirth and death primarily due to the shedding of its skin. Shesha, the divine serpent who is Ganesha's vahan in one of his eight incarnations and Lord Vishnu is known to have done Yog Nidra while sitting on the serpent. There are other snakes mentioned in Hindu mythology, like Astika who is half Brahmin-half snake and Vasuki who is the king of the nagas.
Should you decide to visit this village, the nearest railway station will be Modnimb and the nearest airport shall be Pune. But will you ever dare to visit this village?
There is one thing that is important to note when we talk about Shetpal. There have been claims of snakes being abused in this village and allegations of the mouths of these snakes being sewed so they cannot bite the villagers.
A concerned citizen who runs a small whistle-blowing campaign going by the name of 'SCAM' has raised some issues. He says, "Snakes are reptiles, not mammals to drink milk. No reptile can digest milk, and it's toxic. Snakes are emotional creatures, they get aggressive when they feel a threat, likewise they remain calm too depending on the situation. But snakes are definitely not pets. Snakes belong to wildlife, and are protected under Indian Wildlife (Protection) act 1972. Cobras, Pythons, Sand Boa's, or every snake is on the endangered list.
Apart from stitching snakes' mouths, cruel snake charmers tend to remove snake fangs and cut out their venom sac. As a result, snakes starve to death as they cannot eat anything because of broken fangs. Snakes are not vengeful, and please don't spread rubbish about 12 years revenge as glamorized in movies. Also, snakes don't carry diamonds, don't even fantasize about getting rich chasing snakes because of diamonds.
Rat, Grass, Water snakes are mostly non-venomous, and they are rodent eating snakes. There is illiteracy about snakes, no experience about snake handling, superstition, and the creatures falling prey to snake charmers foul acts. Snakes are mostly traded for leather, food, medicine. Some even trade snakes as pets or claiming to be auspicious to bring fortunes and wealth. Please don't trade, it doesn't bring wealth but warrants you to go behind bars."
We do not know whether snakes are being abused in Shetpal or not, but it is better to know two sides of a coin.

So I was thinking about us the other day,
Was on my way back from work,
This is what I had always dreamed of,
For us, this job was only another perk.
I'd fought for a while now,
And you'd help me gear up,
For the battle of convention,
Was no storm in a teacup.
You and I together hustled,
To overcome this last hurdle,
Lest we anger or upset,
The hand that rocks the cradle..
Right before we reached the finishing line,
In the last leg of this race,
I stumbled and fell over my feet,
And you silently backed away from the disgrace.
Shocked as I am on my own misjudgment,
A little voice in my head chants,
That it takes two to tango,
To master it, we'd worked hard as ants.
Feel as lonely as does an island,
In this world of targets and goals,
You were always my only aim,
Now saying your name is like swallowing coals.
I'm deafened by the screaming voices,
That rile up my silent mind,
Whenever I think about our downfall,
I wonder if it was fate being cruel or kind.
We're only human, is what I tell myself,
Trying to justify and comprehend,
This is beyond me as well,
I tried desperately, but failed to make amends.
Enough is enough, the reader must say,
This woman is quite obsessed,
Either in love with the pain or its cause,
I'd say both have me equally possessed.
Just a bit of a warning to you love,
I just might be on to your plan,
Your next steps I might have guessed,
You've failed the test of a true man.
Forgiveness is at the very heart of love,
I wonder where your's went for a walk,
We forgave and always forgot,
Tell me, were those promises just written in chalk?
This and all else I did for you,
My city, home, life et all,
You found it surprisingly easy to retreat,
Maybe you couldn't hear the crash of my fall.
Since what you pushed for,
You don't want anymore,
I shall find another who does,
And let your love be washed ashore.
Be careful what you wish for,
Is a lesson well learnt from you,
Your mad dash from a wish's realization,
Has given me a well needed clue.
One that I have studied and filed away,
If you ever return to me in the future,
I'll remember this fact and brace myself,
That heartache is your regular feature.
I thought I was giving us a part of our dreams,
Who knew your life's ambition never lied with me,
All my sweat and blood amounted to nothing,
I guess sacrifice in any form aint your cuppa tea.
I bid farewell to us today sweetheart,
May my silence be your constant companion,
I'll keep just this pain with me,
Just another soldier in my personal battalion.


text: It has been a wonderful holiday season!! I am happy to be back to a routine because that means more time for cardmaking. This is our first cardmaking session for this year and my first card frames my focal image with strips of decorative paper. It took a bit to figure out the math of what size the strips had to be for an A2 sized card. The short strips are 3/4" x 3 1/8" and the longer ones are 3/4" x 4 3/8" which leaves 1/8" gaps between them, the edge and the focal image. You can cut the strips you need out of a 1.5" x 7.5" piece of decorative paper though I cut mine mostly of scraps. I did cut a few 3/4" x 3/4" pieces from the small leftovers to add to my stash of paper pieces for paper mosaics like these ones. I glued the strips to mym yellow card front in the pattern you see on my image. You can put the short one completely to the right as well which works out as well. I water coloured my daisy (Beccy's Place) which was laser printed from a digital image after adding a font greeting. I added a bit of stippling as well. I trimmed the bottom with scallop decorative scissors and pierce each scallop with a push pin. I glued my focal element in the center of my card front. It is nicely framed by the strips!! I cut and embossed a short piece of coordinating cardstock, trimmed the ends, tied on a bit of coordinating cording and adhered it to my card front just below the greeting. This is another versatile sketch!! I could have incorporated landscape designs into my focal elements but I did not even think about it!! Another time!! I made my second card at class. I used embossed foil that has been coloured with alcohol ink for the frame which makes a real statement!! The heart (Digital Graphic Cafe) was laser printed and watercoloured and given the same treatment as my previous one.

Betraying The Feminine
16 comments:
- JessicaOctober 17, 2012 at 10:41 AM
This VERY much speaks to me.ReplyDelete
I have been in this place time and time again, and have said similar prayers. We betray the feminine (and the healthy masculine), because it doesn't feel safe yet – literally and figuratively. Survival has meant betraying these parts of ourselves, and ironically our survival now depends on no longer turning away or abandoning Her. When we abandon Her we abandon ourselves for certain and leave the world bereft in the wake of this denial. She is waiting for us always…for when we come and go away again, for when we come to stay and even if some of us never come. I picture a grandmother in a rocking chair whose lap is there for us to crawl up onto anytime we want, whose arms are always open, who's always happy to see us when we show up, and is ready to impart her ancient wisdom to our eager ears, hungry for the stories that give us meaning, context…that make us matter.
She is the opening that never closes even when we are in lock down. She waits. I know this because I've gone back to meet her time and time again, and each time I do, I bring more of her back with me, weaving her into my consciousness and embodying her wisdom, letting her live inside of me - where she belongs, inside of all of us.
Thank you for this beautiful writing and reminder Oriah.
This makes me cry and I do not cry easily. I have been very deeply betrayed and violated in my life. However, at midlife, it is the learning to forgive myself for the many myriad of ways I have neglected and abandoned myself that stirs me. I learned how to do this so I know I can unlearn. But, it's humbling to think myself wise and aware and to know that on the list of people who have let me down I am included. And this isn't self-hate or self-blame, just an awareness that the concept of self-awareness and compassion and advocacy come much sooner, for me at least, that the actual moment-to-moment practice, especially in relationships of all kinds, but even when alone. It's a brave post and great writing. Thank you. Cissy www.guestinyourheart.wordpress.comReplyDeleteReplies
Cissy, yes, self-forgiveness seems to be key- although I tend to think of forgiveness as that which naturally arises when I do the work of healing- and I am guessing this is true for forgiving self as well as others. When we know that our self-betrayal is driven by fear that we are unacceptable, that we honestly believed it did not matter what was done to us. . . . well, the heart fills with compassion for that suffering.Delete
I wonder why we keep doing it. Again and again. Why do we let people we love treat us like this? Why do we allow them to treat us like a door-mat and trample all over our body and our heart? Why do we betray the voice inside of us that screams to get the hell away from him and we stay? Even though we know it sucks, but still even those bread-crumbs of love are better than no love at all? Are we crazy? Do we believe in a karmic bond that is much deeper and worth the wait because just maybe one day he gets it? I keep betraying the voice inside of me, I betray the goddess every day and still she loves me, still she patiently waits for me to finally love myself more than him. To finally walk away and not look back and not walk back into the misery.ReplyDelete
Thank you precious Oriah, for another eye opener, another blog that is so dear to me, that nurtures me, that makes me go on when all I want to do is sleep and hide.Replies
Sabine, your comment points to how we often do this self-betrayal in intimate relationship (and I have!) but I think it might be easier to catch and change in less charged situations- sort of starting weight lifting with 5 pound weights instead of 50! - and so catching ourselves when we are silent about something important at work or school or with friends because we are afraid we won't be acceptable if we speak what matters to us most; or not saying "yes" or "no" quickly to any request but giving ourselves time to drop down into our bodies and see what is in alignment with ourselves at this time, in situations that perhaps don't matter as much as they often do in intimate relationships.Delete
As to why- there are two pieces to this: we are wired for connection. Babies abandoned in the hospital have to be held and rocked and spoken to regularly by staff or their bodies will not take nutritional value from the food they are given and they will die. We know this instinctually- and if connection, belonging, and care were given conditionally (as in- if I find you acceptable in this moment I will touch/hold/feed you) we will automatically (and unconsciously) modify what we show of ourselves (and even what we know of ourselves) in the hopes of maintaining some form of life-sustaining connection. We can unlearn and relearn- but it takes time and a willingness to deeply accept ourselves.

Robert, I almost did not post this because I honestly do not know what it means. Can you translate or explain? :-)Delete
Hi Oriah, Kwan Seum Bosal is the Korean name of the female bodhisattva (for some even Goddess) of compassion, in Chinese called Guanyin, in Japanese Kannon. - May all women and men who have suffered violence of their divine Feminine heal again, supporting each other and becoming grandmothers for future generations. :-)Delete
Thanks Nora. I know her as Kwan Yin- had not seen it written before as Kwan Seum Bosal :-)Delete
Beautifully said Oriah. So true that we must learn to walk the path home for ourselves first. Only then can we be fully available to others.ReplyDelete

What a timely read.ReplyDelete
Only 2 days ago when my mom spoke to me about her sister not speaking out her truth I responded to say that most of us women shuffle our way around our truth because that is what we've been taught. Each generation is getting better. In our generation we learned to say what we didn't want better than the generation before us but we are still deeply afraid to say what we really need.
When I woke up this morning the first thing I read helped me to realize I was not giving myself space to just be (that is also a betrayal to our divine feminine since the greater part of our creativity comes inside the space of non doing)Sipping on my tea in my non doing moments I felt compelled to write or start a blog about being real (sharing the real moments of my real life day by day - the good the bad and the ugly)- no glossy just realism.
Then I read your beautiful piece. I felt it confirmed my very thoughts. That we as women need to keep coming out of our shadows and into the light in all aspects of who we are.
With so many forms of social media we have all learned yet another way to deceive ourselves even more by becoming very glossy and fluffy. I can't speak for the rest of the world but I am craving REAL more than I've ever craved this in my life. I really loved the realness of your beautiful post. Thank you Oriah for bravely speaking your truth into our lives.
We really do have to stop being afraid of who we are in order to become everything we are.
This is very beautiful. I see in it my own pain and suffering and my own growth and path. I'm so glad the pain has lost it's sting! Thank you for sharing. Sally
The words 'betraying the Goddess' brought up so much grief for me that I have sat with them for several days. Deep,deep in my heart ever since I was a wee girl I have known about betraying the Goddess, betraying myself. What I did not recognize was how this process of denial caused me to become so sick.
Now I understand that my path to the Goddess/Mother/Me is also my path to Freedom. One which, as you write, unfolds from within, is a felt path rather than a doing way.
These are big, big understandings for me and your blog arrived in perfect synchronicity so warmest, warmest thank you.

Wow! Such deep understanding, all I can do is feel humbled to know that others have experienced this as well. Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyDelete

QUINCY -- Groups of educators puzzled over clues in an effort to open a locked box in a Quincy High School classroom.
Reviewing what they'd learned, combined with some simple math, revealed the combination to a padlock that led to finding the key to the box and candy hidden inside.
The quick example of teamwork brought to life what Cindy Whiston, education department chairman at Culver-Stockton College, emphasized in a Thursday breakout session on engaging and economical escape rooms at Quincy Conference.
"It's just using more hands-on experience," Whiston said, and the idea works "for any level, any age."
Escape rooms, or escape games in the classroom where students solve puzzles to find a prize, take time to plan but offer a wide variety of benefits for students, including building collaboration, higher-order thinking and working through challenges.
QHS teacher Jackie Stewart wants to make her own escape game using chemistry for the clues. "This give me an outline of a simple start, of what it needs to be," she said. "I think teachers will find a place to start."
More than 1,500 area educators found a place to start with professional and personal development in the first day of the conference featuring 409 breakout sessions.
"We get motivated. It kind of refreshes and energizes you to come here," said Gertrude Young, a teacher for the Illinois Department of Corrections.
QHS social studies teacher Michael Stephens said, "It's just seeing what other people are doing in their rooms and figuring out the best way to incorporate that into what you do. There's always ways to improve what you're doing.
"I'm presenting, too, and hoping somebody can take something away from what I do with classroom strategies to make history class a little more fun for kids."
Lunch keynote speaker Matt Miller found ways to make his Spanish classes more fun after ditching his textbooks along with homework and finding the freedom to create new study guides, develop vocabulary lists taking into consideration his students' interests and using video projects.
"It's easy to do what's been done, to carry on with business, but these days in the classroom, there's a problem with business as usual," Miller said. "We're in this weird place in the history of education where the traditional ways of teaching and traditional ways of doing things just aren't getting the results they used to."
What students know is less important than "what we can do with it and how we can use it to solve problems," said Miller, who encouraged his audience to be willing to take risks and try new things. "Being a maverick teacher isn't about executing a perfect lesson plan. It's about sparking a students' curiosity."
An art lesson in his class turned into a memorable experience with a "field trip" to a hallway in the school displaying student artwork, cups of fruit punch and conversation in Spanish about the exhibit along with a stronger connection with his students.
"Playing it safe really can be more risky than taking some risks," Miller said. "If we lose that connection (with students), it's over. It doesn't matter."
Presenter Tiffaney Rains, a behavioral health therapist and former teacher, urged educators to understand the different ways to communicate love and be able to identify "love languages" in their classroom.
"We all want to feel heard and loved," Rains said.
Adapting any of the strategies requires a mindful approach.
Andrea Hyde, an associate professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Western Illinois University, said, "Mindfulness is implicated in all kinds of mental and physical health benefits. It's also the state that is required for readiness to learn. That's why we bring it into education."
Mindfulness also lowers stress, with Hyde proving the point by leading those in her breakout session through a series of breathing exercises, neck stretches and shoulder rolls.
Jennifer Mills, who teaches sixth-grade special education at Quincy Junior High School, said, "I do try to be mindful, to express to the kids how important it is to pay attention to their thoughts and feelings.
"We do a check-in first thing in the morning, to gauge what kind of day we're having so far."

I am so lucky in life….I am so loved. I have friends that match my passion and I have friends that look at me with awe. The theme of them being in awe of me is my natural tendency to be terrifyingly vulnerable and open. I see no other point…..and I scare people often.
So yesterday in text to the friend I most terrify I said "Do you honestly believe there will ever be a man that can handle me and will love me. For Me. For all of me that I am not just a shiny, pretty face. I am kind of ready"
And she said "yes…and he will be amazing".
I am willing to wait……I will not settle for a stand in….but this is all I really know for sure.
You know?

CANNES — Immersive and interactive storytelling are becoming more vital for brands, commercials and branded content, says Ari Kuschnir, CEO, co-founder and Executive Producer at m ss ng p eces, during an interview with Beet.TV. Kuschnir heads up a creative production company that has developed a range of interactive digital content for brands including Google, American Express, Red Cross.
"We want to tell meaningful, unique, engaging stories," he says in this video interview, adding that interactive digital content can include videos with different endings, and videos in which viewers control the story, for instance.
For more insight into how m ss ng p eces views the future of branded content and storytelling, check out this video interview.
Kuschnir was a participant in a panel at Cannes Lion hosted by Tremor Video.

When we first moved in, the window at the top of our stairs had the best of all the views in the house. The house whose backyard abuts ours had a huge rubber tree in which lived a bounty of birds. There was also a tall palm tree. The view beyond and through the trees led to hillsides. It was pleasant.
Then one day, incited by the sound of chainsaws, I looked out the window and saw a crew of men preparing to bring down both mature trees. For months afterward, the backyard stood bare and unused. Then one day, I saw a crew of men preparing to pour cement.
This is our view today.
So, now he has parking. I sympathize with his parking predicament. But he could have had both trees and parking if he had given this plan any thought. Now, the summer heat bounces off all that cement. The rare rainfall is washed into the storm drains.
The real problem is not just about spoiling my view. The real problem is that paving over front and back yards is a common solution in my neighborhood. Sometimes it's a solution to the parking problem. Sometimes it's just a solution to yard maintenance.
There are property rights activists who will argue that the homeowner should have the right of total control over his own land. But not all homeowners have enough sense to know what is best for their land. Certainly not all homeowners consider what is best for their own property values or for the environment.
I wouldn't want a city agency giving me an edict about how I use my yard; but I can't say that I want my neighbors to be free to do whatever they please.
It's the conundrum of living in a free society and the answer to why the phenomenon of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions was created.
Plenty of property rights. Too much pavement.

Keeping to the theme of going back to school, here's a review of a book meant for those still having to find their desks quickly once that bell rings!
For the most part, nine year-old Trille has an idyllic childhood in rural Norway. His life is a series of never-ending adventures with his neighbor and best friend Lena. She's far more daring and impulsive, but that doesn't stop Trille from joining in on the fun. From snarfing down waffles to pretending to be spies to using, ahem, creative license in crafting a bonfire decoration to sledding with a chicken, they never lack for a good time. Trille can't imagine life without Lena causing mayhem and mischief at every turn. Still, Trille harbors a disheartening suspicion that Lena is far more indifferent to him. She is his best friend, but is he her best friend?

Men age 15 to 34 are disproportionately represented among the heaviest users subgroups, which also mirrors the pattern in alcohol use.
Only 10 per cent of cannabis users consumed the majority of cannabis in Canada in 2018, according to a new study from the University of Northern British Columbia.
Dr. Russ Callaghan and his team crunched data from the 2018 National Cannabis Survey and found that that small subset of heavy users were responsible for about two-thirds of all cannabis consumed across the country last year.
"This is a pattern that is similar to the one we see in alcohol, but a bit more concentrated," said Callaghan, the study's lead author and professor in the university's medical program.
"This is the first study to identify this pattern, and it may be important for public-health strategies in designing interventions to reduce cannabis-related harms."
The study wanted to examine whether cannabis consumption is similar to the consumption pattern for alcohol, where a small minority of drinkers account for a disproportionately high percentage of total alcohol consumption.
The findings came as a surprise to Callaghan. "We weren't sure what we'd find because I know cannabis use is so prevalent in our society. But after the findings came out, it made sense that it is similar to the patterns found in alcohol."
The study used data from a population-based survey in the first three quarters of 2018, prior to legalization.
Callaghan said there hasn't been enough research in the cannabis field to indicate in which subset of users cannabis-related harms are concentrated. For alcohol, research has shown the harms are primarily found in the low- and moderate-using groups.
That is because there are many more low and moderate users rather than heavy users, said Callaghan, who hypothesized that the harms in cannabis would likely also follow a similar pattern to alcohol.
"It doesn't mean we shouldn't focus on the heaviest users, but from a public health perspective, if we want to reduce harm in a population, we want to see where the harms are situated," he said.
The UNBC study also found that men reported consuming more cannabis by volume than women, at about 60 per cent versus 40 per cent.
Men age 15 to 34 are disproportionately represented among the heaviest users subgroups, which also mirrors the pattern in alcohol use.
The study breaks down the market share of the types of cannabis product, with dried cannabis leaf/flower representing about 60 per cent of total market share, followed by cannabis concentrates at 23 per cent, and cannabis edibles at 14 per cent.
The project team included researchers from UNBC, the University of B.C., the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria.
