WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Famed Watergate reporter Bob Woodward's well-publicized blow-up with White House economic adviser Gene Sperling had its dividends: A lunch to make peace and a promise that his access to high-level administration figures will not be taken away.
White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer revealed on Wednesday that he, Sperling and Jay Carney, President Barack Obama's spokesman, took the veteran Washington Post reporter to lunch in the White House mess to clear the air.
"We had a good laugh about this," Pfeiffer said at a Politico Playbook Breakfast event.
Last month Woodward, who with Post colleague Carl Bernstein helped uncover the 1970s Watergate scandal that forced President Richard Nixon to resign, complained that Sperling had warned that Woodward would regret some of his reporting about an Obama budget deal with congressional Republicans.
Woodward is the author of a number of books that depend on insider access to Washington's key players. The Sperling flap led to speculation that Woodward's ability to reach these figures in the Obama administration might run dry.
Pfeiffer said that at the lunch, the White House officials shared some of their lingering disagreements with Woodward's reporting. But, he said, "We made it very clear that Gene was not intending to threaten him."
"We certainly aren't cutting Bob Woodward's access off," he said, adding that it would not be possible to do that anyway.

Sorry, this event is now sold out.
Heads up. Eyes forward.
No discipline changes faster than digital marketing. It's hard enough to keep up with the present much less look ahead.
But if you don't know what's coming around the corner, you just might find yourself under it.
And if you do know, you can seize the most exciting opportunities and leave the scraps to your slower competitors.
The Future of Digital Marketing (FODM) is where the UK's most forward-thinking strategists take a step back and a look ahead.
We've assembled some of the smartest pioneers from across the digital landscape and briefed them to do three things:
- Identify the trends that matter
- Project them forward 12-18 months
- Show you what you can do about them now
This is far from the same old slideware.
This is a day of eye-opening, challenging, sometimes frightening perspectives on a subject that matters more than any other: your future.
FODM turns vision into action.
Not just what's coming but what you can do about it.
The Art of the Now.
It's here. You just don't know it yet.
The Art of the Next.
Think 'Digital SXSW in a day' -- without having to go to Texas.
And The 7x7 Series.
Seven seven-minute snapshots give you a heads-up.
See the full programme.
This sucker sells out fast. Every year.

Steve studied Electronic Engineering but started his career in television production; producing over a hundred hours of prime time television before establishing his own successful production company, Wiseguy Pictures.
In 2005/6 video on the web became a viable asset and demand for short-form content grew. Wiseguy was credited with producing over 400 hours of short-form video every year working with publishers and brands who were looking for TV production standards for branded, commercial, online video. It was while producing content featuring products that brands were trying to sell, that it became clear that allowing viewers to click products in the video to buy on impulse would make much more sense.
After two years of development wireWAX was born and thousands of their users make their videos interactive using the free platform. Brands, agencies and broadcasters pay to unlock the extra features and customization to create powerful, engaging experiences with video. Successful partnerships include shoppable videos with Tommy Hilfiger, Rip Curl, SSENSE, ASOS, Target and Nike; as well as engaging video experiences with ITV, Channel 4, EMI and many more. Steve believes the future of the technology is all about making video intelligent; making the rest of the web understand what those pixels represent and... connecting all the dots.

Dr Kate Stone, Founder and Managing Director, Novalia
Novalia develops technology to enable any printed item to become interactive. They use traditional print processes to deposit conductive inks alongside the graphic inks and compliment this by embedding a silicon chip in/on the print.
Kate Stone founded Novalia after being part of a Cambridge (UK) start-up company that was focussed on printing transistors. She realised however that this only enables products in the far future, and is a long way from being compatible with real world print.
Kate's background started with a degree in electronics followed by a PhD in Physics. Although she knew nothing about printing, she was fascinated by it as a manufacturing process, and her education in print was a baptism of fire.
She bought a Gallus EM280 Flexo Label press with a lot of credit cards and figured out how to use it to do things she was told shouldn't be done!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students
This school is great for small town kids that don't want to go to a university right away. It is also great for students wanting to become nurses because the nursing program is phenomenal here, as my room mate would say.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The student senate and RA's usually put on fun competitions and have dances occasionally which are always a good time for the students on campus.
Bang for the buck
Everything is pretty much within walking distance and if not, you can always catch a ride somewhere with a buddy. Rooming arrangements are very nice, and there is always the option to switch rooms if you don't get along with your room mate.
What to do for fun
If you like the outdoors, there are many places to go fishing, hunting, or just for a walk. In the winter there is an ice skating rink, and also a movie theater in which we get free movie nights once in a while along with free bowling at the local bowling lanes.
Food and Dining
The cafe has many things to offer at any time of the day. There is a special for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So you won't ever go hungry!
Dorm Life
Dorm life is how you make it. If you are very outgoing and love to meet people, you will have lots of friends quickly here. If you like to keep to yourself, that is very easy to do here as well. There are not community bathrooms which are very nice.
Academic Rigor
Teachers push you when they know you can do better at something, and they aren't afraid to fail you if your attendance is poor.
Tips for prospective students
It is a small school, so don't worry about getting lost. It is much cheaper than going to a university for four years. And the classes are basic, and for the most part, pretty easy.
In three sentences
There is a quiet environment around the campus. You get to know everyone living in the dorms within the first few months of going to school here. The teachers are very good for one on one assistance.

Categories Comments Campus Safety
MCC has a very safe college enviroment, the school has many cameras around campus and around and in the dorm hallways, and they have them on all the time. The campus is very safe.
Great for these types of students
Its a great college for they types of students who get distracted from their work easily. Miles City is pretty far from anything else, and there isn't too much to do there which leaves plenty of time for studying and doing your homework.
What to do for fun
Miles City is a big city, but there isn't too much to do here. there is a movie theater down town, but the college dorm advisers organize and throw occasional events or parties to entertain the students. Most of the time, you'll just have to spend time with your classmates, or use it studying.
Food and Dining
The food at the cafeteria is great, its more well prepared than the average lunch school program, and its good food. they also have a grill, where you can get your fill of grill, or deep fried foods.
Dorm Life
The dorms are great. the freshman dorms are small, but they have plenty of room for the college students. Most of the rooms don't have A/C, but it cools down enough you wont need it.
Academic Rigor
The work of the classes is both challenging, and simple. The work can get difficult, and be a challenge, but the teachers always make sure that the students are prepared for the work, and help them with it.
Tips for prospective students
Its not a very big college, but the education here is great, because of the low student teacher ratio you will get the help you need, and the staff is kind and willing to help you work you through the paper work.
In three sentences
Miles Community College is a great two year college to attend to. The teachers and staff are especially kind and patient, and are willing to sit down and work with their students. All of the teachers are great teachers that are competent in the fields they are teaching and help any student who asks for the help.

Categories Comments Campus Safety
Our campus is very small, but safety is our number one concern for others. All doors remain locked to ensure that no-one without keys enter. The office desk sits right next to the door and is staffed from 8:00am-1:00pm. Anytime that a student needs help, they can call the RA cell phone number which is posted in each of their wardrobes and on the bulletins around the dorms and commons areas. The town has a low crime rate and the police station is located on campus.
Clubs and Activities
For a small community, MCC offers a number of clubs for students including PTK, Student Senate, Ambassadors, Rodeo Club, Ag Club, and Campus Ministries. Ping pong is also an option but not an official group on campus. You may also engage in men's league basketball, volleyball open gym, City League, and a variety of gym activities that are free to all students including yoga, pilates, boot camp, and weight lifting.
Great for these types of students
Miles Community College is a great college for anyone looking to get an education while knowing that they are supported by their peers and faculty/staff. The support group here at MCC is something you won't find just anywhere.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Perhaps the most unusual tradition at our campus is the chocolate slip-n-slide. Every fall, right before school starts, the dorms hosts a chocolate slide in which everyone is invited to cool off from the summer heat. It is always a lot of fun and a bit hit with everyone. It was interesting for me to see the apprehension during both years I attended MCC. You are basically all thrown into an awkward situation with people you just barely met. People look at each other as if to say, you first. Once the first person has gone, everyone goes wild and the awkwardness almost completely disappears. It is a way for students to get to meet each other, as well as bond.
Bang for the buck
By attending Miles Community College, and then transferring to a four year institution, a student can save about $14,000. Also, because the college is so small, there is a very good chance that you will get financial aid and the option of work study. They are very good about helping you get a job on campus and working with your hours even if you are not awarded work study. You also have a very good chance of getting a scholarship. Everything here is relatively less expensive than a traditional university, but you obtain the same requirements you would during the first two years at a university.
What to do for fun
Like any college town, having things to do is very important. Although small, there are a variety of options for things students can do. Next to all of the campus clubs you can join, and all of the events put on by the Resident Advisors and Student Senate, there are several things students can do. If you like the outdoors, you can enjoy one of the many recreational areas near Miles City including Strawberry Hill, Spotted Eagle, Pirogue Park, numerous river accesses, and Fort Keogh. Swimming, hiking, and spelunking are just a few things accessible to students. There are also numerous parks within the town. Bonfires are a big hit with the students during week nights. Makoshika State Park, land of the dinosaurs, is only an hour away. Bojangles is a dance club and bar if you love to dance. If you really love to dance, Billings is just a short distance away and hosts several different dance clubs. Possibly the biggest hit with the students here is the Carlin Hotel parties that are hosted for every event imaginable.
Food and Dining
Our food and dining is limited as compared to larger universities. We have a cafeteria that has a special for the 3 main meals of the day. It also serves as a grocery stores by selling things like pop, water, chips, candy, nuts, and other snack items like frozen pizzas, hot pockets, ice cream, and numerous packaged sandwiches. There is an all day salad bar and sandwich bar. The grill is also an option. From the grill, you can order things like burgers, chicken, several different fry options, bread sticks, pacos, and grilled cheese (etc). For such a small campus, our cafeteria serves us very well. The campus is also located one block from many of Miles City's restaurants as well as Walmart and Albertsons.
Dorm Life
As a Resident Advisor on campus, I am well equipped to speak about the dorm life. We are a small community of about 175 students. We have one dorm building with two floors, and 3 quad buildings with 4 separate housing quarters in each. Each fall and spring, we host the wagon wheel. During this, the RA staff and MCC faculty help the students move their thing into their rooms. A barbecue is held afterward so that the students can mingle. We host several activities for the residents such as dances, bowling nights, movie nights, and sports tournaments. The first three days of school are dedicated to helping the students get to know each other and the people that they can come to when they need help with anything. We even sponsor study nights in which those students in need of help can have free tutoring without leaving their living space. Perhaps the only problem is that students become too close with each other. We are very much like a large family that has its share of loving moments and also disputes. I strongly recommend our dorms for students that would like to have a strong support group.
Academic Rigor
Each program is very different, and has a separate set of coursework that students must complete. The general Associate of Science and Associate of Art degrees have some of the same requirements. There is some leeway as to what courses you take in order to fill each requirement. If you are seeking out a bachelors by transferring, you are not limited to the bare minimum course requirements. For instance, someone looking to transfer to an engineering program can fulfill the necessary math core requirement by taking Calculus. For those students wishing only to receive their Associates in business could fulfill their requirement with accounting or statistics. With such flexibility, almost anyone can start at MCC.
Tips for prospective students
As a student ambassador, I highly recommend that prospective students immediately set up a campus tour. Because MCC is a smaller community, the tour is personalized for you. A student leader on campus, usually an ambassador, gives you the second half of the tour so that you can ask the 'real' questions such as what is campus life like, and what kinds of things do students do for fun. Often times, students see what the school wants you to see. Through these individualized tours, students are able to better relate to the students and their experiences.
In three sentences
Miles Community College is a wonderful place for students looking to begin their post-secondary education goals. The campus creates a sense of family by giving one-on-one special attention to students. Starting at MCC will allow you to receive help to continue your goals as well as save you money, and bring you almost anywhere you choose.

Over the last 20 years Ducati sold more than 275,000 Monsters, and now the Italians introduce an all-new 1,200cc version, which will make it not only the most powerful but also the heaviest Monster of the past couple of decades.
The 461 lbs (wet with a 90% tank of gas) beast will replace the aging Streetfighter 1098, and Ducati hopes it will sell a whole lot better. Mind you, there is currently a fierce competition in the Super-Naked segment so time will tell if they succeed.
We rode the Monster 1200 S model on the press introduction in Tenerife, so it's worth noting that this bike has $2,500 worth of upgrades over the base model, such as Öhlins suspension, Brembo monoblocs, and lighter aluminum alloy wheels. It also does away with the 10hp restriction of the non-S version, bringing the total output to 145hp.

Canal House's Cranberry-Port Gelée
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: A DIY cranberry jelly for anyone who loves the stuff in the can (and even the ones who don't). Thanks to natural pectin in the cranberries, the gelée sets up all on its own, without gelatin or agar. Adapted very slightly from Canal House Cooks Every Day (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2012) —Genius Recipes
Makes: 2 cups
cup port (or red wine or Madeira)
cup sugar
tablespoon juniper berries
black peppercorns
12-ounce bag fresh cranberries (about 4 cups -- frozen can be substituted)
- Put the port, sugar, juniper berries, and peppercorns into a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the cranberries burst and are very soft, about 10 minutes more.
- Strain the sauce into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve, pushing the solids through the screen with a rubber spatula. Stir the thin and thick portions of the strained gelée together.
- Transfer to a pretty serving bowl. (A funnel or liquid measuring cup with a spout can be useful for transferring without splashing the sides.)
- Cover and refrigerate. It will firm up within a few hours, or can be made several days ahead.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Back in the 1980s, Barbara Damrosch's book, The Garden Primer, was considered one of the bibles of general gardening. It was chock full of information on growing everything imaginable -- vegetables, fruits, roses, trees, shrubs, and houseplants. This bible just got better. The Garden Primer (Workman Publishing, 2008; $19) is a second edition of this gardening classic, with the same lively tone as the original and lots of new information.
Damrosch has updated and expanded sections on garden planning, tools, and varieties. She devotes more time to ecological issues, such as using native plants, avoiding invasive species, and selecting lawn alternatives. All her growing recommendations are now organic. The book also has more information for gardeners in the south and west, while still providing pertinent advice for cold-climate gardeners.
For more information on this new edition, go to: Workman Publishing.

No. 3 Clemson held strong at that position in the Associated Press rankings for the sixth consecutive week, while No. 11 South Carolina was impressive enough in its westward journey to hop three spots in the latest poll released Sunday.
The third-ranked Tigers (6-0, 4-0 ACC) escaped the first half of their season unblemished, rallying to top Boston College 24-14 amidst a sluggish start. Before the game even ended, ESPN announced College GameDay would return to Clemson for this coming Saturday night's showdown with its chief ACC rival.
With Stanford falling at Utah late Saturday night (and falling eight spots to No. 13), that gave way to No. 5 Florida State hopping into the top five for the first time this season. The Seminoles (5-0, 3-0) improved one spot after spending its Saturday on a bye week.
It also ensured the first matchup between top-5 teams ever to be played in the state of South Carolina will take place Saturday at 8 p.m. inside Memorial Stadium televised by ABC.
No. 5 Florida State (No. 4 offense, No. 7 defense) is one of two teams (No. 25 Wisconsin) rating in the top ten nationally in both total offense and total defense.
No. 2 Oregon, No. 3 Clemson, No. 4 Ohio State, No. 8 Louisville and No. 9 UCLA are each in the top 20 in both categories.
By thrashing Arkansas 52-7 in Fayetteville, No. 11 South Carolina (5-1, 3-1 SEC East) garnered its most convincing win of the season to stunt the hand-wringing over defensive end Jadeveon Clowney's decision not to play last week vs. Kentucky.
The Gamecocks started their three-game road trip the right way, with planned treks to Tennessee this coming Saturday and then to No. 14 Missouri – which stunned new No. 15 Georgia in Athens yesterday – on Oct. 26.
Defending champion Alabama remained the top-ranked team in the land, leading the way for eight ranked SEC squads – the most ever for a conference in one individual poll. No. 6 LSU lept four spots after knocking off No. 22 Florida, which fell five spots.
No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 11 USC, No. 14 Mizzou, No. 15 Georgia and No. 24 Auburn rounded out the league's representatives.
The ACC now has three teams tucked inside the top ten, with No. 10 Miami vaulting into the fray. No. 19 Virginia Tech visits the Seminoles No. 9 in a pivotal Coastal Division battle.
No. 17 Fresno State and No. 23 Northern Illinois are the only ranked teams from non-BCS qualifying conferences.

Amy Adams 'surprised' by The Master humour
Amy Adams was''surprised'' how much fun she had on the set of 'The Master'.
The 38-year-old actress was shocked at how comical director Paul Thomas Anderson was while shooting the drama and she enjoyed the jovial atmosphere between the helmer and the rest of the cast, which features Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
She said: ''I was surprised how funny he was, I was expecting it to be a very serious set. It was very intense and very focused, but Paul also has a fantastic sense of humour, a very, very funny sensibility.''
The motion picture tells the story of a World War II veteran (Phoenix) who arrives home unsettled and uncertain of his future and he ends up growing close to a philosophical movement entitled 'The Cause' and takes a trip with his leader (Hoffman) along the East Coast of the US to spread its teachings.
Amy admits she didn't find out much about Paul before starting work on the motion picture because likes to ''go for the ride'' and learn on the job.
She added to Digital Spy: ''When I work with a director I really like to just go for the ride and get to know their techniques and their process. I really try not to overthink it, but allow myself to be swept up in it.''

For well over a decade, the Reverend Birgit Solano has been the pastor of The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Weehawken, and has herself been looked upon as a Good Shepherd to her flock.
Born in Hanover, Germany, Pastor Solano came to the United States in 1993, to Weehawken as a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. She expressed interest in a pastorate in America to the New Jersey Synod, who contacted her for interviews, and the rest is Weehawken religious history.
Leading up to this voyage to the Hudson River hamlet called the Township of Weehawken, Pastor Solano took her theological education in Vienna, and Zurich, and graduated from the University of Munich in Germany in 1983. Afterward, she began teaching religious education and philosophy at the high school level in Germany and later taught Holocaust Studies in Israel at a Christian kibbutz called the Nes Amim Center. After entering the United States the following year in 1994, she was ordained as a Pastor at Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church in Union City, and thus began her pastorate at the 106-year old Good Shepherd Parish in Weehawken.
Reverend Solano speaks five languages: English, Spanish, German, Italian, and Hebrew, which is quite helpful, because in North Hudson County's cultural history the first four languages are spoken in this region, and there are number of Jewish houses of worship, where the Hebrew language would be most welcomed. Good Shepherd Parish is recognized as a bi-lingual congregation with services in both English and Spanish, said Reverend Solano.
Pastor Solano tells us the church organist and Choir Director is David Smyth, and the parish also has a music program and Drum Circle. Sundays and Fridays are for Prayer Services. Wednesdays are for Bible Studies, Saturdays are for Communion and Confirmation, and on Mondays the parish volunteers give their time to the Palisades Emergency Residence Corporation (PERC) in Union City, whose Executive Director is Emory A. Edwards. The parish also offers a food pantry and day care, and the parish also enjoys a good working relationship with Weehawken Township Mayor Richard Turner on various projects, and has participated in the township's 150th Anniversary Celebration. Interested parties can contact the parish office at (201) 863-2029 for further news and information about the parish.
In her leisure time, Reverend Solano likes walking and biking. However, church life is her life, and always is in all daily aspects. This columnist then had to ask how it feels to her being a woman in a traditional male position as a church pastor. Pastor Solano said that the question was decided back in 1972 for her, before she was ordained a pastor, by her church denomination that their church law be changed to accept women as pastors in her Lutheran Church. There are now job goals to be reached and attended to, like expanding the parish's Youth Ministry and the renovation of the church building. With very important goals such as these to be reached, and her determination to be successful, it shows she is up to the challenge and should be applauded for it. To Pastor Birgit Solano: All The Very Best!
The Union City/West New York Rotary Club has been "chartered" as an official member of the Rotary International, District 7490 as of Feb. 25. The President is Cosmo Cirillo, a West New Yorker, who is presently the West New York assistant town clerk, appointed by Mayor Silverio "Sal" Vega. Mr. Cirillo tells us that the Charter Day Celebration was held at the Marinero Grill in West New York. For those readers who would like to join, just look up their web-site on-line, or call Mr. Cirillo at Town Hall for more information. May this new Rotary Club grow with every good deed it does!
Giorgio (Giorgio the Barber) Barlaam of Guttenberg, whose hair stylist shop is in North Bergen, called to tell us that former Federal Bureau of Investigations Director Louis Freeh recently was passing through North Hudson County and stopped in to get a haircut from the one and only Giorgio! By the way, former director Freeh is a Hudson County native, and we are glad that he still remembers his roots. The way to go Giorgio!
Kristiana Reyes of Secaucus was named to the Dean's List at Ithaca College's School of Humanities and Sciences in upstate New York. Best wishes Ms. Reyes!
North Bergenite Miguel A. DeJesus, a parishioner at Our Lady of Fatima Roman Catholic Church in North Bergen whose Pastor is the Reverend Peter G.

The Friars are followers of Saint Francis of Assisi, and inspired by the ideals Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, Italy. Both were "stigmatics!" The Friars are also inspired by the ideals of Saint Anthony of Padua. Godspeed Mr. DeJesus!
Hudson County Surrogate-Judge Donald W. DeLeo of North Bergen will be addressing the members of the Hudson County Funeral Directors Association on the subject of "New Information on Wills, Living Wills, Living Trusts, and Stories from your Hudson County Surrogate's Court, "on Thursday, March 3, at 4:30 p.m., at the Casa Dante Restaurant, 737 Newark Ave., Jersey City.

BackupBuddy: Misc Information
Advanced Information
How does scheduling work in BackupBuddy?
Schedules are inserted into the WordPress cron system and are executed once by the WordPress actions core at a time which you specify. The action will fire off when someone visits your WordPress site, if the schedule time has passed. A scheduled action cannot occur until someone visits after the scheduled time has passed.
My host blocks Linux command line zip and/or exec()
You can ask your host to allow this. The more people that do, the greater the chance they will do so. You can use this example of what to say: "I am attempting to use a PHP script that uses Linux's command line ZIP executable to generate a zip file. It attempts to run the zip command via PHP's exec() function. However, the script is reporting that it is unable to do so. Is it possible to obtain access to this?"
If I override php.ini with my own, what options could I use?
Here are some recommended values for a custom php.ini:
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 128M
disable_functions =
Does BackupBuddy migrate all links from the old URL to the new?
Yes, except for URLs hard-coded into .php or .html files. BackupBuddy does not alter files to avoid any problems. Under normal circumstances (and proper WordPress practices) you should never encounter this problem.
I dont understand databases!
Think of databases & database servers in terms of a filing cabinet analogy. The filing cabinet is the server. Within the server (filing cabinet) there are databases (drawers). Within the databases (drawers) there are folders (tables). Within the folders (tables) there are rows of data (the pages of paper).
BackupBuddy is leaving temporary files.
BackupBuddy automatically removed temporary files after approximately 12 hours. These files are left there temporarily to assure that remote destination transfers properly finish before the files are removed.
I do not understand databases!

Oh, to have a little house!
To own the hearth and stool and all!
— Padraic Colum
Until recently, we, who live in the industrialized societies have felt and believed that ours is a world in progress — confronted by what we term "problems" but overcoming them, one by one. But during, say, the past 20 years, we have seen the problems no longer diminishing but becoming worse — much worse. Getting a decent place to live and bring up our children was simply something that everybody did in the course of one's life, but now this seems possible for only a quite affluent few, even in supposedly prosperous America. As for the rest of the world, the matter of housing is rapidly turning into a disaster.
The Stanford Research Institute has predicted that by the year 2000, there will be 19 million homeless Americans. Why so many in this, the richest of countries? We have plenty of wood, cement, and labor. Why can't affordable homes be built? During World War II, housing was constructed in a matter of days. I recall that the barracks that housed our ship's company was erected in one week. While on leave, I saw similar structures for war workers built practically overnight. In one area, the military used church property, where they constructed dormitories that housed hundreds of men. In many parts of the country, the military also established trailer parks filled with small but comfortable homes on wheels.
People might argue that there was an emergency then, the war. But my reply would be: "There is an emergency now!" The solutions are all around us, however.
In 1940, I was 18 and my best friend was Jack Keefe. During a visit to his home he showed me a most unusual small dwelling. It seems that his parents became incompatible but rather than seek a divorce, Jack's father converted a 6-by-12-foot, backyard, garden toolshed into a comfortable and quite lovable home. It featured a miniature kitchen, a convertible sofa bed, and a complete. though tiny, bathroom. With Momma in the big house and Poppa in the backyard, Jack and his sister were able to enjoy the company of both parents instead of having to cope with the problems of divorce.
I never forgot this intelligent solution to a common problem, so in 1985, with the help of a friend, I was motivated to recreate the backyard house to see what might develop. As cofounder of the Holy Terra Church in Aptos, Calif., which was started to help the sick and homeless, I began applying principles of microhousing to help end the suffering of a growing population of homeless people; and we've been putting up little houses ever since — not just in backyards, but wherever we can get away with it.
A microhouse is an affordable shelter for full- or part-time use by anyone for any rational purpose. The basic size is 8 feet by 12 feet, or 96 square feet, but they can be built to any desired dimensions. Two or more can be linked with a breezeway and effectively form a two- (or several) room home.
What materials do I need?
Plywood, chipboard, 2-by-4s plus nails, windows, doors, roofing, and miscellaneous items. That's all.
How much will it cost?
As of this writing (1995), between $800 and $900 plus labor and space. See the charts in the Image Gallery for a full breakdown of costs.
Do I need much building experience?
Anyone who can pound a nail and use a saw and read simple plans is more than capable. For the experienced builder, one day is enough to complete construction. For the inexperienced, not over two days with a helper.
100 square feet! Are you kidding?
Millions of Americans already live in one small room. Others live in RVs and boats. Countless people will attest that a small space, easy to clean, heat, and cool, is more than livable. And if you are constructing a larger home and would like to live "on site," no solution is cheaper and more practical than the construction of a microhouse.
By adding a rug, curtains, a small wood heater, loft bed, sink, multi flush portable toilet, a sun-heated shower plus a low-voltage lighting system, table/desk, and chairs, the microhouses become as livable as many larger shelters.
Are they legal?
Structures under 120 square feet are exempt from Uniform Building Code permits. Under the Mello Act, in California, a secondary house under 640 square feet and housing at least one person over 60 is legal. All people have a right to protect themselves from the elements, so any conflict with the health department might be resolved on a one-on-one basis.
The homes are built of simple, straightforward materials: plywood, 2-by-4s, standard nails, hardware, and windows. Of course there are many possible variations that will be considered with respect to economy and availability.
It is always surprising to me how quickly a microhouse can be built. Going from what is initially just a bare platform to a cozy, enclosed, fresh-wood-fragrant shelter is always an exciting miracle. The standard 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets of plywood used for the project are strong, light, and beautiful with their rich, Douglas fir grain, and the finished home requires only 16 sheets of this ordinary (really extraordinary) wood. Less expensive chipboard can also be considered as it is similar to plywood in many ways.
Framing for the ply is usually 2-by-4s of Douglas fir since these standard sizes lend themselves to all the finish items such as doors and windows. While it's true you could save a little money by using 2-by-2s, it is hardly worth it since many things just wouldn't fit. Also, you would have less space in which to place insulation, a most important consideration in cold climates.
Metal supports are an extra expense but can save time and make for a much sturdier structure. They are now used extensively in standard home construction and are thus appropriate for their smaller brothers and sisters. A common item is the hanger, that allows floor joists to be placed at the same level as the main supports, the massive 4-inch-by-6-inch rails which are the foundation or keel for the microhouse. Another metal item of great utility is the patch plate, which can bond two wood items together with minimum nailing or splitting.
Nails have become more useful and durable with various coatings of plastics or other rust proofing. There is also the possibility of using bolts rather than nails so that the microhouse can be easily disassembled. Hinges and door hardware should be rustproof and of high quality to protect contents against theft.
Windows and doors can be new or recycled. The latter are now available in many communities through used lumber outlets. Also, one can sometimes find houses being upgraded where older windows and doors can be obtained free or at little expense. These two items can be expensive when purchased new so that buying them secondhand can comprise a significant saving. During our construction phases, we were almost always able to find used sashes and doors, but when they were not suitable we simply built our own from ply and glass.
Much produce and foodstuffs are now shipped in plastic-coated cardboard. If one needs to cut costs radically, it is possible to sheath a microhouse frame in this material, cut to fit and stapled or nailed on. If done neatly, it can provide a virtually free exterior that will last for a long time. It can also be replaced when necessary as discarded boxes are available constantly. To make this expedient more acceptable, you can use battens to simulate a board and batt effect. Battens are thin pieces of light wood usually a half-inch thick and 2 or 3 inches wide.
Here's a great idea for making your microhouse warm and cozy and saving heating fuel in the process. Visit or phone local motorcycle shops and ask the owner to save the Styrofoam in which new motorcycles are packed. You can easily cut the large slabs with a knife or saw and place them between the 2-by-4 studs. No cost to you and you've saved the cycle shop the expense of discarding the foam.
Incidentally, as you build your microhouse(s), you'll find yourself looking at the discards of consumer culture with a new view. You'll see lots of items you can use to build or improve a microhouse. Extending this, it's possible that a person could build a microhouse using nothing but recycled materials. Not far from where I live, there is a house built almost exclusively of old window sash that the builder obtained free.
Cement and plaster technology continues its evolution toward very lightweight and highly durable coatings. It is possible to sheath the frames of a microhouse with almost any recycled material (cardboard, for example), cover that with ordinary chicken wire, and then trowel on a mixture of light plaster. The "sand" for this mixture can consist of vermiculite or volcanic ash, tiny manufactured glass balls, or other virtually weightless additions. These, coupled with polymer-modified cement can provide a fireproof, well-insulated outer layer. Overall costs can be less than with wood, especially when you realize the long fife of plasters and cement. And no need for painting ... colors can be added to the mixture.
For interior finish, nothing can replace reliable old Sheetrock, compressed gypsum with a paper sheathing. It's very cheap and it comes in large 4-by-8 sheets; so it would take hardly any time to make your microhouse interior clean, smooth, and livable. Sheetrock is fireproof, adds a layer of insulation, and lends itself to the addition of wallpaper, fabrics, and paint.
There are lots of materials out there that can be adapted for microhouse use. Just keep your eyes open as you toddle about, and you'll be amazed at how much money you can save by being just a little creative.
The yard that sells you the lumber can do most of the sawing for you. Lumberyards often do this as a service, and even if there is a modest charge, you'll be assured of accurate cuts and lots of your time and energy will be saved. This is especially true for large sheets of plywood that need to be shortened.
Here are some recommended tools for your microhouse project. I suggest you try a flea market first, as they often sell quality used tools at bargain prices. Better a good used hammer than a poor new one.
Note that you don't need any power tools, eliminating much expense and hazard.
There's no question that a shed roof microhouse is easier to build than one with a gable roof. There are no difficult cuts, no erection of a ridge pole, no need to notch rafters, and so forth, and that is why it's the best model for the amateur builder. Here are the plans and everything else you need to know to proceed.
A good way to approach this work is to think of a small house as simply a large box. Also, if you need advice and counsel, phone the local carpenter's union to see if a retired member would supervise your first microhouse.
With the experience you gained from studying and/or building the shed roof model, you are probably well equipped to tackle the gable model. More conventional, sophisticated, and attractive, it is not difficult to build as long as you follow the plans carefully.
Fortunately, most of what you will need for the interior of your microhouse has been well developed by two industries: boats and recreational vehicles. Both specialize in getting maximum use from every cubic inch of space while providing every possible human convenience. If you have the budget for it, you can buy what you need from their retail or catalog stores.
However, most of a microhouse interior can be built from scratch using ingenuity rather than cash. Here are some ideas.
At the end, opposite the door, you can build a semiloft, foam or futon bed, below which you can put a combination workbench and desk. Around the perimeter of both loft bed and work area, you can build shelves. You can use the storage area below the desk for word processors and other income-earning equipment.
On the right side of the microhouse, you can build a compact kitchen using a Formica-topped piece of 3/4-inch ply. By cutting a round hole in it and placing a large plastic bowl therein, you can create a low cost sink. You can suspend a water storage tank for gravity flow service. The type that holds 2 1/2 gallons of purified water is ideal. The sink drains into a bucket or collection tank for disposal in the garden area. A single- or double-burner portable camp stove takes care of the cooking department. Drawers and shelves above and below the sink area accommodate your dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and storable food. If you need one, there are a variety of miniature refrigerators that operate on 12 volts.
Now, so far we've only used about half the microhouse, yet we've taken care of sleeping, working, earning a living, plus cooking and eating. Not bad for about 50 square feet!
The balance of the space may be devoted to items related to your hobby, professions, or trade such as ceramics, painting, music (there's room for a small keyboard,) or whatever makes you happy or makes some money or both.
With wall space in modest abundance, lighten up your living room with a few plants, curtains, art, or lighting fixtures. A corner may be enclosed for your "portable potty" or other waste disposal fixture.
In a space as small as a microhouse, it takes very little heat to make it comfortable. One of those miniature potbelly stoves would be delightful. A low-wattage electric heater would be ideal; there would be no need for ventilation as with any combustion type of heat. Lighting can be almost free if you use a photo-voltaic panel, storage battery, and 12-volt bulbs. While initial costs are fairly substantial, the energy of the sun is gratis indefinitely!
So that's how you can make your interior livable on a peanut budget.
Let's say you build yourself a microhouse in your backyard. That is completely legal since the Uniform Building Code specifies that any structure of less than 125 square feet and no permanent foundation needs no permit. I am sure they made this ruling to avoid having to issue permits for the millions upon millions of small sheds that abound in the United States. Also, once a permit is issued, the building inspectors are obligated to give approvals and this would certainly be super boring.
Now what happens next depends on what you do with the shed/microhouse. If you fill it with firewood, no one will ever bother you. However, if you put in a hideabed and allow your sweet and lovable old granny to sleep in it overnight, you could be violating some bureaucratic regulations. These are most likely related to the health department. Certain aspects of the residential code relate to ventilation, heating, disposal of human waste, and other health parameters. These laws make sense in that they did eliminate ghastly slums and flophouses that existed in the past in even greater numbers than at present. However, there is a world of difference between an urban slum in a teeming city and a calm and peaceful, totally clean and new microhouse in your backyard. Especially when there is need for a restful and comfortable shelter for lovable Granny.
In California, it's perfectly legal for Granny to sleep out in the microhouse as long as she's over 60. California State Senator Henry Mello is a kindly and thoughtful person who labored for years to obtain the legislation that created the famous Granny House. This may be defined as a second unit built on a residential lot already having one house. The major stipulations are that it must be occupied by at least one person over 60 and be less than 640 square feet. Other than that, any Californian who owns an R-1 lot can proceed as though the lot were zoned R-2. This greatly expands the living space potential in the Golden State and this generous social philosophy could, no doubt, be adopted in the other 49 states. (Anyone interested in working toward this goal is invited to write to me through Mother, and I'll see to it that the latest data are provided.)
If your microhouse is intended for human habitation and you don't live in California, or even in California if you want to house someone younger than 60, you will find yourself in violation of the Universal Building Code, which includes rules pertaining to adequate heating, minimal space and sanitary facilities. Local health departments are charged with maintaining these healthful conditions. All of these requirements are based on the need to protect both the individual and society. Well and good, we say.
However, let us examine a hypothetical situation. Your aged aunt has no income, no place to go, and no other relatives than you, her beloved niece or nephew. You have a full house with your spouse and three children. But, you also have a large backyard with trees and shrubs. With this vegetation, an 8-foot-by-12-foot "shed" is hardly noticed. So you hammer a microhouse into completion, insulate it, furnish it with a comfortable bed, a multifiush toilet, a small heater, lights, books, stereo, and TV. You provide meals for your aunt in your home but on occasion she enjoys having her dinner in her microhouse with one of your children as a guest.
The problem has found a viable solution. However, a neighbor notes the aunt's backyard home and reports it. You receive a visit from a health department inspector, but she finds that the only real defect is that the microhouse is smaller than the minimum specified for human habitation. She also notes, however, that there are two windows that can be opened for ventilation and in addition, a generous Dutch door.
You sit down with the inspector and explain the predicament of your aunt and how just the thought of being banished to an old folk's home could cause no end of discomfort to all the concerned parties. All things considered, the inspector rules that no damage is being done. Furthermore, there is a very humane and generous service being rendered. He tears up the complaint, drops it in the wastebasket, shakes your hand, and says that as far as he is concerned the matter is closed. Is this perhaps too rosy a suggestion of events in a world as litigious as our own? Maybe, but compromises aren't really all that uncommon. I think you'll be surprised to discover that inspectors share the view that we live in difficult times and that ways of evaluating situations must evolve if we are to retain our compassion and humanity, individual and collective.
We can hope, anyway.
Most passive solar Maybe ok in Cali, but in Miami you need permits fot astorage shed and anything else. i am looking at moving to the Caribbean in order to build my own non nortgaged housr. Unfortunat ly modt passive dolar plans are either huge, obssessed with heating, expensive designer models with walls of sliding glass and acres of decks, multiple bathrooms and pro kitchens. what I don't need is Iwoodstoves, hot watrr,indoor laundry, interior hallways, AC, or large expanses of glass. what is air flow, large eves, a plan with locally available materials, outdoor kitchen.
An excellant site is tiny house design.com There are many more similar to this one but I think it is the best site out there.
hi... I would just like to say this to anyone who lives in the southwest. I live in San Antonio, TX, and for those who want to save heating costs, I suggest building a large slanted roof, and build the house with a higher ceiling, just so that the heat will rise, instead of getting stuck in the area you inhabit.
