Top Ten Ice Cream Flavorspreachinpreach
The Top Ten
whats better than cookies and milk, well you know. COOKIES AND CREAM!
Cookies and cream is the greatest ice cream I've ever had. It's vanilla ice cream and crushed Oreo cookies mixed together. Put them in a blender and enjoy. Thanks for letting me give out my opinion.
Its tasty even as gelato! I will eat it anywhere any time just so so so tasty and yummy and a great snack for movies and parties and dessert wow I love this flavor very much.
COOKIES N' CREAM IS THE BEST! Who doesn't love the great mix?V 616 Comments
Chocolate ice cream makes me happy!
I LOVE CHOCOLATE it is the best ever it is good and tasty yummy sweet.
Milk, dark, swiss. It doesn't matter all chocolate is good. It's awesome with toppings but still great without.
The bestV 322 Comments
Way better than pistachio! I don't know why it is tenth! It should be in first! Best flavor ever!
My personal favorite! Refreshing mint combined with Chocolate... How can you go wrong.
Mint always makes me happy. I always can count on Mint to cheer me up if I'm EVER upset
So refreshing... It's like a cool relief on a hot summer day.V 418 Comments
Vanilla. The ultimate flavor of ice cream! It has this basic flavor which you are almost always in the mood for. I found this site which shows the flavors of ice cream which were bought most, and vanilla was number 1! I hope it can be number 1 on this site too!
Vanilla is the original ice cream flavor, you can find it anywhere in the world, it's worth every bite, and a crowd pleaser
Vanilla is the best flavor, it's so creamy and delicious, tastes better than chocolate in my opinion.
The building block flavor. - PackFan2005V 330 Comments
Best ice cream ever! As a kid who didn't love eating raw cookie dough and vanilla ice cream? It's the perfect combination of cookies and ice cream without having hard chunks of actual cookies.
yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy! ah... cookie dough brings back memories...
Cookie dough is sweet and delicious! Even better in
ice cream! I vote it #1!
Yes people say I am weird for liking this but they are silly this is yumyumyum my favourite followed by bubblegumV 202 Comments
I love chocolate chip cookie dough. It is just so delicious. The flavor is so sweet. What's better then vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate chip cookies dough?
I still don't understand how CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH would be less popular than cookie dough. Its like putting love into love which= MORE LOVE! All the other kinds (except for chocolate) suck compared to chocolate chip cookie dough.
Chocolate chip cookie dough is the best. Please vote. Lots of chocolate chip and cookies. M. I always eat it. Lovely.
it bangingV 173 Comments
Strawberry ice cream is the best there's no other flavor's that I would choose its got a creamy taste with sweet strawberry's to make it better!
Everyone else in my family like different flavors but really strawberry's the best!
Strawberry ice cream is so refreshing and flavorful, but simple and timeless.
Its not that bad for you and yet maintains a flavor as good as cookie dough. Lovely!
deserve the top 3 spot, legendary - roblist
I love strawberry icecream so much. It is SUPER refreshing and it is even better if you top it off with some fresh strawberries. Strawberry is #1 #strawberryforlifeV 136 Comments
This is so good. With marshmallows and everything. It's not my favorite but still so delicious it should be illegal. I love it so much! It should be second.
Best with extra marshmallows and it should be under chocolate.
Dreyer's Rocky Road (the original Rocky Road ice cream) is still the best of the best. Perfect blend of perfectly roasted almonds and "how-do-they-do-it" squishy marshmallows. If there are marshmallows in Rocky Road, they are usually very hard from being frozen. (And don't get Rocky Road wannabe's that only offer a marshmallow ribbon--that's not true Rocky Road. ) Rocky Road is chocolate ice cream perfected!
Rocky road is my favorite ice cream, I love it.V 95 Comments
Birthday cake ice cream is amazing. The kind I get is this delicious vanilla ice cream with cake frosting inside. It is DELICIOUS. I suggest you try it man it is amazing!
Uh, Hello?! Ever heard of birthday cake? Only the greatest kind of ice cream (closely behind Cheesecake) of all time. The taste has the perfect balance of sweetness and coldness.
Chocolate is overrated, as well as vanilla. Think of the flavors that actually taste good; not what everyone else picks!
WIth a rich vanilla flavour this delicious ice-cream is topped with caramel sauce. Birthday Cake has an outstanding taste that is sweet and delicious!
Birthday cake is my favorite on the list but my real favorite is super man! 🍦V 37 Comments
a caffeine addict's best friend - Queen-aholic
The best by far. It just wows me every time. Especially if you add hot fudge to the ice cream along with some almonds it is totally delish.
Perfect for pulling an all-nighter (=
Coffee is the best ice cream even though I didn't tast itV 64 Comments
The Newcomers
The Contenders
How is this number 5!?!?! Mint is the best of the best! It's so refreshing! Unlike chocolate, you don't have to have a glass of water after eating it. It's so good, I have to hide the Mint Ice cream, or else it will be gone the next day. Mint cheers me up when I'm upset and I eat it all year round!
Mint is good in all occasions. It gives you a sweet cool tingly feeling attractive flavor for kids and teens
It's awesome really good everyone should try mint. Love it since I was a kid. I vote number 1! It's the best. So many memories. Delicious! Love it so much!
Sorry this is weird but Mint stinks. Ask me. I won't eat it ever. Gross! Cookies 🍪 an Cream is best. Ask my brother, friends, family. We all love it. Mint is worst. Like the last place. Mint is #1 worst. Ask my pets. They 😍 it!V 59 Comments
SERIOUSLY! How is the smuggly crap cotton candy ice cream ahead of neopolitan!?!? Neopolitan has chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. So you can get your rich, smooth chocolate. And your very open to toppings vanilla. AND the creamy fruitiness of strawberry. Neopolitan is better than 18. NEEOPOLITAN FOR THE WIN! - bubbles1111
My favorite because it's my top 3 favorite flavors mixed. Sometimes I'll also add some mint ice cream just to spruce it up a little!
Neapolitan is my favorite as it has three great flavors all in one. Should be in the top three not #13. Some of the above flavors should not even be considered ice cream.
Who likes buying vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry when you can get it all in one.(pistachio sucks)V 29 Comments
I love chocolate chip because it's mostly vanilla, with just enough chocolate to make it perfect!
One of the most classic flavors of all time. Gotta love Chocolate Chip.
When you just don't want vanilla, but you don't want chocolate, Chocolate Chip is perfection!
I love chocolate chip, move it up higherV 15 Comments
I am completely in love with cake batter ice cream because it's made from batter and I love Vanilla flavor batter! The place that I would eat this flavor is at Marble Slab!
Cake batter or birthday cake, what ever you like to call it, is by far the best ice cream I have ever tasted in my entire life. Marble Slab and any other place that sell it is the place to go. Perfect perfect perfect. My sis worked at an ice cream place during the summer and I told her to tell me when they had birthay cake ice cream in, that stuff is seriously the best! - dragonfly99
I LOVE cake batter cookie dough. Who didn't love licking the bowl of cake batter after mixing it? This is perfect when topped with sprinkles. Or you can ask them to make a milkshake with it.. HEAVEN! It is the best no matter how you have it
Yay go cake batter - PokemonRPGbroV 32 Comments
LOVE THIS ICE CREAM SOSOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH! I have liked it ever since I was a little girl and my family and I used to go to this amazing ice cream place. I would point to it even though I didn't know what it was called! I guess I was a young girl with fantabulous taste
I used to eat this when I was a little kid, and that trend has continued into my young adulthood...
Yum fresh vanilla and chocolate ice cream my very very favorite plus chocolate syrup how can icky coffee ice cream be ahead of this MOOSE TRACKS 4THE WIN
Can't be put into wordsV 46 Comments
I am gluten free and my brothers and sister are not. So I was kind of sad because I could not have my dads secret recipe. So he bought me some peanut butter cup ice cream I ate it all up and I don't really like ice cream.
WHY IS PEANUT BUTTER CUP SO LOW? Must be a lot of people allergic to peanuts that voted.
I love peanut butter cups. I love ice cream. Combining them is Heaven's Gift to me. Peanut Butter Cup or any peanut butter ice cream came from the gods themselves.
Should be WAY higher - Maya159610V 25 Comments
Caramel flavor is Super amazing should be higher! Haha yeah I think it's awesome aha ha
Love to get the last scrape at the bottom, with tons of caramel. Hate thinking about ice cream when I have none.
Caramel is the best ice cream and every time I have it it blows my mind! Caramel ice cream could never get old! It's THE BOMB!
I could eat it ALL day, I'd just have to brush my teeth REALLY well!
Yesss! I love caramel flavoured ice cream. I could eat kilos of it lol. - CharismaticKatV 38 Comments
best ice cream flavor in the world!
Yum! You can't top that! So much chocolate in one bite!
Yum duouble fudge and brownies so much chocolate I can't take it I love it! WHO wouldn't
How's is this not number 1V 35 Comments
Cotton Candy is the awesomest flavor ever! I can never live without eating cotton candy flavored ice cream... I LOVE ICE CREAM! ICE CREAM IS EVERYTHING TO ME!
If you live in Cali, and you love cotton candy ice cream you won't believe this stuff at Ventura County Harbor. Dude you need to go to Coastal Cone and try their cotton candy. I literally rink they scooped it from the clouds of heaven. I also heard they sell the same thing in Rite Aid. Look for it in the ice cream section, it's called Thriftys Cotton Candy. Literally scooped from the clouds in heaven. Dude you need to try it.

I love M&M'S flavior ice cream so much! It reminds me of my childhood if you love regular m&m's then your love M&M ice cream.
I love me some m&m ice cream every now and then but I like chocolate more
M&M are amazing. But even better in ice cream!
Yummy so yummy ohmygod.
I had this in a gourmet shop with my friends and it was creamy and sweet with swirls of strawberry in it. There were four of us and three had that flavour. I usually don't like cheesecake, it's a bit too cheesy, but you couldn't even taste it and it was DELICIOUS
The creamy rich Cheesecake ice cream, with fresh strawberries, and graham cracker bits, this is the best flavor ever!
YES! It is the best flavour! I never get tired of it and it's very reliable. I also like cherry cheesecake flavoured but strawberry is good too! If you haven't tried it yet you defiantly need to! It usually tastes just like cheesecake which I love!
It's awesomeV 6 Comments
This is a very weird flavor and will probably never get to the top 10, but what the heck it's an awesome flavor. Besides, chocolate ice cream is boring. Let's go unique!
I had fresh made banana ice cream at the beach and I almost died it was so good, I wish they sold it in stores
Banana Ice-cream is AMAZING!

Tastes like vanilla... BUT BETTER
That's because it is vanilla. But it comes from France. Which means,10 times better than regular vanilla. - Finn-Mordecai-Gumball
Oh yes it's so creamy and I hope this will be well praised
Only flavor made with real eggs. Most expensive to make. Yum Yum!
How is vanilla 23 and vanilla 4 it's a scamV 8 Comments
Pistachio nuts are so good anyways, but with ice cream it is heaven! Why doesn't everyone who thinks that pistachio ice cream is good, rate it good? I suppose people just think "Hmm, I don't want to vote pistachio even though it is the best... " Join me men and girls! Join the revolution to making pistachio number one!
This is so good. Not many people have tried it and so I'm guessing that is why it's not that popular. But seriously you have to give it a try. Not the one with heaps of little nut bits thought, you need to get the store bought stuff.
I understand that some of you out there are under peer pressure and did not vote pistachio, or have not eaten pistachio. But pistachio will one day have a revolution and it will rise again.
It's simply the bestV 92 Comments
Mango is just plain delicious. I mean who couldn't like it? It's so sweet fresh and so delicious! GO MANGO! It does deserve to be on the top!
Why isn't this higher up on this list? Mango is the most exotic, sweetest, just Best flavor Ever!
The number one delicious flavor of ice cream.it can melt you and you out because it tasted good because it is exotic flavor and unique flavor...i super love it..super delicious...you will addicted when you taste it...YuMmy...the best flavor in the whole world and that s flavor is MANGO...
Sach mooch aam cremebell and amulV 34 Comments
I'm not sure if this and 'Peanut Butter Cup' count as the same flavour. Either way, peanut butter and ice cream are a match made in heaven. - BKAllmighty
YUMMY! This ice cream is the best. Try it! You will instantly fall in love.
WAY better than peanut butter
This is the bestV 5 Comments
This is the best ice cream yet... I can eat this ice cream all day with no problem. One day I had bought 60 pints and ate them all in one day and didn't even throw up not even once. But then the next day my mom got mad at me because I made and mistake in her restroom...
I didn't see this one on the list. How could that be?
Butter Pecan or Butter Pecan? Whichever way you want to pronounce it, your tongue will dance in your mouth. Get some!
Oh my gosh, my mom for one of my family member's birthday bought this stuff and it wasn't the usual Breyers ice cream that she buys and it was so good! I don't remember the name but what I can remember was that it was in a white container. But it had a different taste. I can't really describe the flavor that well, but it was, I guess you can say, like heaven. I think it was the 365 brand or something. I don't remember. - April96
Love,Love Butter Pecan next to Chocolate Almond..The flavor is beyond this World...V 14 Comments
Lemon is one of my favourite flavors of ice cream! It really tastes great! I love it! Please vote the lemon flavor! Go Lemon flavor! Lemon Rocks! Hope you love the lemon flavor too! :-bd
lemon is so good if you get at the right place

Definitely! Triple chocolate is so tasty. Hm
Way much better than plain chocolate! By far my favorite!
Yu-ummy best flavor in the world!V 6 Comments
Great combination of black cherry halves and smooth vanilla ice cream
Great fruity and chunky flavor of ruby cherries in velvet smooth vanilla ice cream. Also, known as Whitehouse.
It is not available any more in Federal Way, WA
Are you kidding? If you haven't had this one, your vote shouldn't count!
The Ben & Jerry's one is the best by far. It is delicious and I always have it in my freezer but in the rare moments when the store is out, I become very sad. Nothing can possibly beat s'mores ice cream
I have never herd of this flavour before but it certainly sounds very appealing. A marshmallow and biscuit ice cream. Delicious.

It lasts in your mouth and it tastes so good. In general, I love anything that's minty. It's so yummilicious, you know what I mean?
Should be available year round for those of us who love the mint flavor without the chocolate. I love it
The BEST. All year round. Hard to find one with just the right amount of mint and not too creamy.
I had this in chicago once. it was amazing! - tropicaljayV 9 Comments
Ben and jerry sells the best
Whoever hates this hasn't got a life. Whoever loves it is epic. C:

I love bubble gum brings back so many child hood memories! Hands down bubble gum ice cream is the best! Even after your finished you still can blow a bubble while you dump your cup in trash.

New Zealand is not only renowned as one of the top sporting nations in the world but our beef and lamb is also second to none and restaurants around the country are lining up to be part of our culinary story.
BMX rider and Olympic silver medallist, Sarah Walker believes our chefs should be profiled on the world stage just as our athletes are.
"Based on my travels around the world, I know that as a nation we are renowned for our beef and lamb and as such I think we should be doing all we can to celebrate it," says Walker.
2017 marks twenty-one years of the highly sought after Beef and Lamb Excellence Awards – a programme which aims to do just that.
Any restaurant in the country, with beef or lamb on their menu, can apply for the Excellence Award which is rewarded to chefs in acknowledgement of their skills in showcasing New Zealand beef and lamb.
If restaurants meet the standard, they are awarded a gold plate which symbolises a high level of cookery, creativity and execution of their beef and lamb cuisine.
Top foodie, Kathy Paterson, agrees with Sarah Walker and believes a key selling point for visitors to New Zealand is our ever-evolving food scene partnered with an exciting paddock to plate story and an exceptional product.
"We have the best beef and lamb in the world and what some of our chefs and restaurants are doing with it, is truly remarkable. We should be showing their skills off to not only locals but people visiting our country," says Paterson.
Chefs are invited to apply for the award until 31 July and restaurant assessing begins on August 1 through to the end of October. This year's gold plate recipients will be announced on December 1.

"The complexity of our rational minds—so often troubled with deadlines, worries, and tasks—keeps us looking down. It forces us to focus, almost exclusively, on our own stories. It prevents us from looking up to see the bigger story. And the bigger story, the story of all stories, is that God is God." — Dr. Les Parrott
Being still does not necessarily mean retreating to a quiet place. It means quieting our minds, even in the midst of chaos by not trying to figure everything out. It means putting our minds at ease and letting God be God. We can learn to be attune to God's presence in even in the calamity and chaos of our lives.
Sometimes we go for long stretches when we do not have time to retreat and go to a quiet place. It wears on our bodies and our souls.
The last couple of weeks have lacked quiet for me, and today I feel so worn. My heart longs for rest and stillness in the midst of my chaos.
I pray for myself and for you all as well. May God put our minds and hearts at ease as He guards our souls with His peace. May we be still and know He is God. {Isaiah 46:10, Philippians 4:7}

Best Teas for Acid Reflux
If you have acid reflux, a hot cup of tea may be a great choice to drink this winter. According to a study of public health survey data involving more than 40,000 people in Norway published in Gut in 2004, researchers have found that drinking tea does not affect the risk of acid reflux. However, there are some teas that may be a better choice for you than others.
For gastroesophageal reflux disease, the American Dietetic Association recommends drinking caffeine-free herbal teas, except those teas made with peppermint or spearmint. According to the Mayo Clinic, caffeine may make heartburn worse. Peppermint has also been found to make reflux symptoms worse.
Chamomile tea may be a good choice. Chamomile is the common name for several daisy-like plants. According to the National Institutes of Health, chamomile has been used for centuries as an important medicinal herb. Some research has found that products containing certain herbal combinations that include chamomile may be beneficial for an upset stomach. Those who are allergic to ragweed and daisies, however, may want to avoid or carefully introduce chamomile tea into their diet.
Licorice tea may also prove helpful for acid reflux. For years, the herb licorice has been credited with easing stomach pain. Licorice extract can help reduce inflammation in stomach ulcers, according to a laboratory rat study by pharmacists at Jordan's Al-Isra University that was published in the journal of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientist_s_. Licorice tea is one way to ingest licorice, but it is important to note whether the tea is just licorice flavored, or made from the actual licorice root. While there may be great benefits to licorice, check with your doctor if you are pregnant or are taking prescription medication, as licorice can cause health problems for some people.
Ginger has long been used to treat nausea and other stomach disorders. Ginger tea can be made simply by pouring boiling water over 1 teaspoon of grated ginger root, then straining out the ginger before drinking. A teaspoon of maple syrup can be added if the ginger is too strong of a taste. Ginger has been considered to be a safe herbal medicine with few side effects, according to a research review by pharmacists at Oman's Sultan Qaboos University, published in the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology in 2008.

BELLE Vue boss John Perrin will warn his side before their tough Elite League match against Coventry that he won't wait for success.
The Midlands outfit ended a stunning run of seven wins in a row with a narrow defeat at Eastbourne on Saturday.
They have the benefit of more early-season racing and will be a formidable test at Kirkmanshulme Lane tonight (Monday) (7.45) for an Aces side surprisingly beaten at home by Oxford in their first match last Monday.
Perrin said: "I have been patient with riders in the past, perhaps too patient at times, in waiting for them to find their form. But I can't afford to wait this time. They've got to get on with the business.
"We mugged ourselves against Oxford because we are a better side than them and it was our fault that we lost. We threw it away and can't afford to make mistakes tonight."
New signings Ales Dryml and Jesper Olsen will be riders under particular pressure after failing to score last week. Dryml has been home to the Czech Republic for fresh machinery.
Star man Jason Crump and American signing Josh Larsen, who made a nine-point debut, return after missing the British League Cup defeat at Sheffield.
BELLE VUE: S Johnston, J Larsen, J Lyons, A Dryml, J Crump, J Olsen, C Stonehewer.
COVENTRY: B Hamill, B Janniro, L Richardson, R Fisher, A Jonsson, J Bunyan, S Robson.

Do you spend hours in front of your computer working or playing games? When you're finished with what you're doing, does it feel like your joints are on fire? A bad computer chair does more than become a pain in the neck. It can cause your knees to hurt, cause nerve issues in your wrists, and even lead to problematic headaches. The good news is that when you know how to find the best computer chair, all of these issues can become memories.

Why Is the Best Computer Chair So Important?
The computer chair is perhaps the most important piece of furniture that exists in your home today. Most people spend more time in their computer chairs than they do sleeping in their bed. A chair that doesn't help to support someone is a chair that is going to cause muscle fatigue, strains, and pains that can become extremely bothersome. The best computer chair helps to make those issues go away.
The benefits you gain from a quality computer chair do more than improve your comfort levels. They can actually relieve chronic aches and pains that may exist. It can also help to reduce the feelings of tiredness that develop over the course of the day. The average person has 2-4 hours of solid productivity every day in virtually any situation. The best computer chair can help to extend that time.
Whether you are shopping for your home office, your desk at work, or for your dedicated room of video games, it is important to find accredited computer chairs. The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association [BIFMA] tests all chairs before they get to the general market and lets people know how they performed. This is the easiest way to guarantee that you've got a great product that provide the benefits you want to have.
What Ergonomic Features Should Be Considered?
The best computer chair is going to come with a few ergonomic features that can help to increase the levels of support that are received. Without good ergonomic supports, the human body can't thrive in the average business environment. Here are the primary considerations you'll want to examine when shopping for a new computer chair.
- Height adaptability. Computer chairs should be able to sit in such a way that your feet can be placed flat on the floor. It should also allow for enough space to allow for joystick controls, handheld controllers, and all of the typing and mouse use that you can handle.
- Depth adjustability. Being able to tilt backward is an important component of the computer chair experience. This can help you to make sure your eyes are always at screen level no matter what it is you are doing.
- Armrest adjustments. Your arms should be supported at the proper height so a straight line from shoulder through forearm to the device being controlled is achieved. For desk use, the arms should be able to be adjusted to the height of the desk.
- Lumbar supports. Your back has a natural curve to it, which should be supported. The best computer chair will let your back keep its natural positions while giving support to sensitive points that tend to cause pain.
The best computer chair will provide you with the features you need so that you receive the supports that you want. Great chairs can lessen the risk of repetitive task injuries from occurring, so be sure to find one with the adjustable ergonomic features that work with your body.
The Best Computer Chair Can Be Aesthetically Pleasing
The looks of the computer chair are almost as important as its features. People work harder and provide more productivity in environments where they are comfortable. Having items that seem to clash or aren't complimentary can create a distracting unease that makes it difficult to work. There are a wide variety of computer chairs available today that can compliment virtually any office, but each has certain design aspects to consider.
If you have a carpeted floor, for example, you'll either want to look for a chair that has carpet-compatibly wheels or may not have wheels at all. A third option would be to place a carpet guard down on the floor to protect the carpet. Executive chairs are often a great choice thanks to their soft leather and long-term durability, but might not be right if you have cats as pets.
The bottom line is this: your computer chair should be able to compliment your style. You're going to be spending more than 8 hours per day, on average, in this chair. It needs to be comfortable so that you can get the stuff done that you need to get done.
What Are the Prices of the Best Computer Chairs?
If you're shopping on Amazon for the best computer chair, you're going to find a number of different styles that incorporate a wide range of different features. Basic computer chairs that just go up and down and provide little in support can be found for less than $20 at times. An executive computer chair made from leather and with numerous ergonomic features could be priced well above $1,000. That's why knowing what your needs happen to be before the shopping process starts is so important.
Keep in mind that you will likely need to put together your office chair once it arrives. Most chairs are pretty basic and come with all of the tools and fasteners needed, but it may take 30-90 minutes to complete the assembly. Don't expect to use the chair straight from the box.
What Do Our Reviews Have To Say?
Space 5560
It's hard not to like this slim profile computer chair. It has built-in lumbar supports that will help most people experience a reduction in back pain. There's also a tilt mechanism built into the chair that helps to adjust where the back supports are placed. The wheels are great for using on carpet, though beware that wear patterns may still develop. The mesh back will stop that icky, sweaty feeling from developing on a long and productive session. It's an extremely comfortable chair at a solid price. We highly recommend it.

Alera Swivel Task Chair
This computer chair doesn't have arms, so it isn't going to be for everyone. It does, however, have a contoured seat that is remarkably comfortable. The back provides some extra support as well. The rotation of the chair and its casters are smooth and easy to utilize so that everything can be within an arm's reach. The acrylic upholstery could use a bit of an update, but it is easy to clean and the chair can accommodate several different body types. Though there are a couple of design issues, overall this is a great computer chair.

Boss Leather Posture
This is more of a task chair than a computer chair, but don't let the simplicity of its design fool you. The waterfall seat and built-in supports will keep you nice and comfortable. It's made from Leather Plus, so the chair remains soft and it's easy to clean with just soap and water. If you are playing games with your friends and need some extra space, this chair will do the trick. It holds up to 250 pounds and goes up to 24 inches in height, providing a supportive experience for a fair price.

Hon Basyx
This computer chair has a unique sandwich mesh upholstery that is perfect for extended sessions at the computer. The frame is incredibly sturdy and the height adjustments for the seat will get you to where you need to be. It is designed as a task chair in many ways, but the design elements provide a higher level of support than the average task chair can provide. You can find excellence without having to spend a lot of money for it, so consider this office chair if you're trying to compromise between quality and value.
Click here to check the price on Amazon and buy now.
Merax High-Back Ergonomic Chair
This unique computer chair is inspired with a race car design, so it is visually impressive. Sitting in it for the first time will be equally impressive. The large backrest gives users support for the whole back instead of just the traditional lumbar supports. Armrest angles can be adjusted as well for this executive computer chair. Mesh fabric is combined with a faux leather product for increased durability and easy care. Some might find the angle of the back to be a little bothersome, but overall this is a great chair at a great price.

Geochemical Monitoring Of The Thermal Waters Of The Phlegraean Fields
From Open Energy Information
OpenEI Reference LibraryAdd to library
Journal Article: Geochemical Monitoring Of The Thermal Waters Of The Phlegraean Fields
AbstractThermal waters from the Phlegraean Fields (PF) caldera area have been periodically sampled and analysed, during the period 1990-1999, for major chemical constituents and chemico-physical parameters, to define the most useful variables for geochemical surveillance. The variations observed in waters from different locations were compared with ground movements and microseismic events recorded at the time of observation. The discontinuous monitoring of the hydrothermal system of the PF has given indications about the geochemical variations brought about by changes in the chemical and physical characteristics of the deep aquifers. Because of the complexity of the PF geothermal system in each sampling location, different variations have been observed and then evaluated on the basis of the different kinds and degrees of deep fluid supply, characterising waters sampled in the different zones. In some cases a good correspondence between vertical soil movements and chemical changes in the waters has been observed. In particular, in pools and wells located around the Solfatara crater, interesting variations in some chemical parameters (pH, ammonia and/or SO42-/Cl- ratios) have been recorded. Variations can be observed in all of the sampling locations, but pools and wells located near the Solfatara crater are the best sites for detecting changes occurring in the deep hydrothermal system and possibly in the activity of the underlying magma chamber.

Politics belong on Twitter
April 20, 2017
Filed under OPINION
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The rise of Twitter as a nexus between high-profile political and cultural figures and common people and its use as a platform for communication of specifically political material is unmatched – and should by all means continue.
One of the most clear examples of how important Twitter can be is our recent presidential election. For two long years leading up to November, Twitter was stocked with campaign analyses, political commentary from every direction and the candidates themselves. The latter is what makes Twitter so important. With a direct line of communication between the candidates and their supporters, it became clear how Twitter could be used to promote a platform. Specifically for President Trump, which he used and still uses to act almost offensively against other large media outlets. While I have many gripes concerning the current president, I do appreciate him disseminating information through Twitter.
It has become a popular consensus among the political and ideological left to use Trump's usage of Twitter almost as a way to demean and delegitimize the role and respect of the presidency, but I strongly disagree with this thinking. While Trump is not considered a progressive, he has made politics and the controversy of politics readily accessible, which in some ways is actually progressive. As citizens, we gain direct insight into the presidency, whether we agree with him or not. Additionally, from Trump's tweets come waves of reaction, criticism, opposition and support. A political discussion is sure to follow after President Trump tweets, and as a result, the exchange of ideas eventually ensues.
Because of how easily political fervor can be spread on Twitter, major news stations cover tweets, and in a way use political commentary to gage a reaction. There have been countless times I have seen news headlines with the words "Twitter" or "tweet" in them, and it has prompted me to figure out how this social media news cycle operates. It has come to a point that what happens on Twitter becomes headlines on news stations, instead of news making its way into tweets. Major news organizations now rely heavily on politicians to tweet their thoughts so that it can be used as a reference for political commentary.
Additionally, in President Trump's case, his usage of Twitter has become a fact checker in itself. With archives of tweets available to anyone, it has become increasingly popular for people to find Trump's tweets from years ago that contradict his current thoughts via Twitter. For example, in August of 2013, Trump tweeted, "What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval," which directly contradicts his actions on April 6. Trump's tweets – those that are recent and archived – have acted like an easy radar to detect hypocrisy. So while many complain that it is immature for Trump to use Twitter to circulate his thoughts and opinions, at the same time it is essential that he does. The public does a superb job fact checking and pointing out flaws in tweets; the more politicians – from any political affiliation – that use Twitter to propagate political thought, the more accountability the political elite will have to the general public.
The raw intel the general public receives from the fingertips of a slew of politicians is essential in determining the credibility, dependability and reliability of lawmakers, our President and any other politicians. Twitter is imperative to our heated political landscape, and rightly so. Instead of criticizing the influx of political tweets, appreciate how important Twitter is in exercising our First Amendment rights.

December Daily - the start up
December Daily - such a delightful tradition.
Joe and I are working a bit each night to continue the chunk of progress we made over the weekend. Working in an 8x8 format again this year after enjoying it so much last year. I really enjoy pushing myself to combine more and more patterns comfortably.
It is odd how, for me, all the rules change at Christmas. I like brighter colors, more glitter, more pattern on pattern and less is just sad rather than more. I like all the things that normally would make me scream. Go big and go bold or just don't go.
Does your style change at Christmas?

Zooarchaeology Laboratory - Reference Collection
The Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield has a long tradition of teaching and research in zooarchaeology. It also houses an important reference collection consisting of almost two thousand specimens. The zooarchaeology reference collection is an integral part of the Department of Archaeology. The Department has trained many currently active and distinguished zooarchaeologists.
Both the research and teaching collections are focused on completeness and ease of use rather than display. The research collection includes complete and partial skeletons of modern animals, which are used as an aid to the identification of archaeological material, as well as for research purposes.
The collection includes a wide variety of specimens of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes that live or had once lived in Europe, as well as a more limited range of specimens from other parts of the world. About 30% of our more than 1800 specimens are sexed and aged, which helps with a more detailed identification of archaeological material and also provides the opportunity to use the collection as a research tool to address questions of morphological variability. In addition, the availability of multiple specimens of individual taxa also provides the opportunity to use the collection for the establishment of identification criteria based on osteological material. Most skeletons kept in the collection derive from modern animals, but we also have some archaeological specimens, which can be very useful for comparative purposes, as many modern animals have been subject to such modifications in recent times that they have a limited resemblance with their ancient counterparts.
We have a research room specifically dedicated to housing a more specialized part of the collection. In particular collections of mammal isolated teeth and mammal and bird postcranial bones organised by body part have been prepared and kept in special cabinets. The bird index collection is organized by anatomical element, with each element divided into four size groups, each of them kept in a different cabinet. The bird collection, so arranged, is not only of great use for the identification of archaeological specimens but it also provides students with a prompt overview of the morphological variability in different bird orders and families. We also have a small Aquatic Resources Research Lab, where skeletons of fishes and other acquatic creatures are processed and stored.
A database of the collection is available to download from the link on the right. For each specimen, information about species, breed, provenance, age, sex and other details are available.
Accessing the reference collection
The reference collection of the Zooarchaeology Laboratory of the University of Sheffield is available for consultation and study to researchers through appointment, arranged with the staff of the Laboratory. The collection has so far been used by many researchers, based in Sheffield or other institutions, both from the U.K. and abroad. It is also being regularly used by the current members of staff of the Zooarchaeology Laboratory to carry out research and consultancy work. To arrange access to the collection please contact Umberto Albarella.
We make every possible effort to improve our collection and keep it in good order. New specimens are added whenever is possible and we are also keen in setting up collaborations and possible exchanges with other laboratories that house animal bone collections. Improvement in the layout of the collection and its accessibility were implemented as part of an AHRC funded project that was completed in February 2006. Many other improvements have been carried out since.

And you know what? I haven't read another book in weeks.
I'm not looking for new music, I don't want to talk to anyone, I wear the same pajama pants for a week, I'm not on Twitter a ton (for me), and I had to walk away from my first viewing of season 1 of The Legend of Korra because the story was taking up too much headspace.
The neon sign behind my eyes says CLOSED.
And that's okay.
When writers give advice on writing, they often tell you to take in a ton of media. Stephen King supposedly writes four hours a day and reads four hours a day. Soaking up bad media helps solidify your feelings about what's important, and gorging on good media opens up your mind to new ideas and primes the pumps for good storytelling and excellent characters. Some of my best ideas have come from TV shows, internet articles, and photosets from Tumblr.
Sometimes, you have to close all that down, lock the shutters, and hunker in the skull bunker while you work through your story.
Sometimes, you need darkness and quiet.
Sometimes, you get selfish with your headspace.
Sometimes, you eat nothing but capicola and cheese for two weeks because thinking about food is pretty annoying when you could be thinking about your story.
I think this fact can get lost when so much writing advice is about opening yourself up to possibility and staying malleable and curious. But being CLOSED is a big part of my writing cycle, especially in the last big edit, when I'm making sure that every Chekhov's gun shows up in a drawer later, every i has its jot, and that opening line still makes sense compared to the last line. There's a time to be out in the world, experiencing things. And there's a time to be only in your story, using every bit of your resources to make it as great as it can be.
Sending your story off to its next level is an amazing thrill, but it's also generally a little terrifying. Whether you're querying agents, sending it to critique partners, or are lucky enough to just shoot that bouncing book baby off to an agent or editor, chances are, you feel a rush of adrenaline as it leaves your hands. WILL THEY LOVE IT WILL THEY HATE IT DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL OH GOD, etc.
And the best way for me to celebrate that feeling is to finally switch that sign to OPEN, give my brain the day off, and pick up the book I've been dying to read. It's my reward for the hard work, and it's the equivalent of opening the windows on the first day of spring after a long winter.
I would also suggest taking a bath and eating something besides charcuterie at this point, too, but you don't have to take my word for it. If the cats are following you around with their mouths open like they're smelling a dead skunk, you'll know it's time.
Open up. Be free.
And, seriously, take a shower.

Hoverboards ( The some-what new, "hipster", self-balancing electronic devices. *A link will be provided below) should not be banned or illegal in New York.
Code- Section 19-176.2 states a. For purposes of this section, the term "motorized scooter" shall mean any wheeled device that has handlebars that is designed to be stood or sat upon by the operator, is powered by an electric motor or by a gasoline motor that is capable of propelling the device without human power and is not capable of being registered with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. For the purposes of this section, the term motorized scooter shall not include wheelchairs or other mobility aids designed for use by disabled persons, electric powered devices not capable of exceeding fifteen miles per hour or "electric personal assistive mobility devices" defined as self-balancing, two non-tandem wheeled devices designed to transport one person by means of an electric propulsion system. b. No person shall operate a motorized scooter in the city of New York. c. Any person who violates subdivision b of this section shall be liable for a civil penalty in the amount of five hundred dollars.... - See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com...
This code states that "motorized scooters" as being "any two-wheeled device that has handlebars." It further explains "the term 'motorized scooter' shall not include electric powered devices not capable of exceeding fifteen miles per hour." If I am not mistaken, hoverboards does not meet the given criteria for it to now be banned/illegal.
*https://i.ytimg.com... <--hoverboard. You should probably know what a hoverboard is before entering this debate anyways. :D
"Oh my!
"We"re spending the night here. I"ve already let my parents know not to expect us back. You don"t have to worry about Chris."
Oh! The arrogance of his assumption doesn"t annoy me " instead it serves as proof of his thoughtfulness though, I worry about leaving with one man and coming home with another. I push the thought away, eager to indulge in a bit of Mr Grey.
"Thank you." I fling my arms around his neck, beyond ecstatic and smile at him, cramming every bit of joy I feel into it. This suite that I could hardly bear to enter into an hour ago has now become the perfect place for our reunion."
In the beginning of this passage, the narrator is clearly surprised, shown by their exclamation, "Oh my!" Now, what could surprise a thoughtful and godly narrator? It must be a hoverboard. So, hoverboards are probably pretty surprising.
On to Genesis.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning"the first day.
Now, did God create a hoverboard? NOOOOO. Believe it or not, hoverboards aren't mentioned once in all of Genesis. Accordingly, god hates hoverboards, and any good christian would. Don't get started with me on any of this sciency stuff because that stuff doesn't make any sense. Next thing I know, you'll probably say something ridiculous like climate change. Also, God is hovering. This shows that if God wants you to hover, you don't need a hoverboard.
Finally, some infinities are bigger than other infinities. (John Green says so). So, we can't jump to any conclusions

I'm a Pisces. Art is a part of me. Before I could walk, I'd pull myself up using the coffee table as leverage so I could stand and bounce to music. As soon as I could talk, I was begging my parents to take dance classes. I also recall, at the age of 3, sitting contently in my stroller as my grandma brought me to the neighbor lady's basement to make art in a kids art class. The combination of art and dance have been with me for as long as I can remember. Today, I am a dance major here at the University of Minnesota, and I love the arts.
This is why I am excited Jessica Lang Dance is coming to Northrop this Saturday. Jessica Lang is a contemporary choreographer masterful at crafting her dancers' to form lines and shapes in harmony with other visual art forms. Jessica Lang Dance is bringing six works: Lines Cubed, Mendelssohn/Incomplete, Among the Stars, The Calling, White (film), and i.n.k. I am especially intrigued by the different art mediums we will experience woven throughout the evening. Inspired by the artwork of Mondrian, Lines Cubed brings movement to a rather static, geometric painting with technically precise movers acting as the brush strokes on a canvas. The Calling features the stunning movement by a single performer, reflected in the fabric of a spectacular but simple dress that stretches across the stage. Among the Stars will also incorporate beautiful draping fabrics and Mendelssohn/Incomplete includes bursts of color. i.n.k., which incorporates video art by Shinichi Maruyama and is meticulously partnered with the movement on stage. I am also very interested to see how White (film) is experienced in a proscenium setting.
Jessica Lang Dance at Northrop will be visually enthralling performance—do not miss it.

Power Ranger Kills Roommate With Swordby Jeremy Dobski February 2, 2015 1 comment
Remember when we were kids, and we were told that Power Rangers was a dangerous influence? We all thought the myths about kids killing each other on playgrounds while reenacting their favorite scenes from the ever popular TV show, were false. They likely were. Today, one of the many actors to play a Power Ranger is sitting on a $1 Million bail, after allegedly murdering his roommate with a sword. An actual sword.
Ricardo Medina, 36, was arrested following the altercation, which happened just before 4 p.m. on Saturday at his house in Los Angeles County, according to authorities. So far the story is that Medina, who played a red ranger in Power Rangers Wild Force and voiced another ranger in Power Rangers Samurai, had been arguing with his roommate, before removing himself and his girlfriend into another room. The roommate followed the two, forcing himself into the room, where Medina grabbed the sword he kept next to his bed and fatally stabbed the other man. Ricardo Medina, called 911 and waited for the police to arrive.
Medina's friends and colleagues are shocked by the incident. His agent had the following comment:
"He's been my friend and client for 12 years and he's a great guy…He's great to his dog, he's great to his people. He's really a super person."

Free Design Your Own SmartScape Class
This coming Saturday, October 11th, I'm presenting a free Design Your Own SmartScape class for the Keep Coppell Beautiful Environmental Education program, from 11:00am-12:30pm at the Biodiversity Education Center.
Here's the class description on the Coppell Community Garden website (click for more details):
From clay soils to hot and dry summers, homeowners face unique growing situations in North Texas, but there are plenty of solutions to overcome these difficulties. Design Your Own SmartScape will help you find these solutions and provide guidance on how to be "water wise" in your lawn and garden. This course is all about successful gardening by selecting the right plants for your landscape. Texas hardy native and adapted plant materials give everyone the edge for gardening success.
If you are ready to transform your property into a drought and heat tolerant landscape, this is the perfect introductory course to get you started. The class is open to the public and does not require registration.
If you aren't able to make it but would still like to learn about smart landscaping, I teach a number of classes at Collin College in Plano that cover many of these same topics.

For now, we've given up on the idea of finding ourselves a new, larger home in the Toronto real estate market and moving in order to improve our space issues. We've also given up on the idea of a huge renovation that would have given us three new bedrooms and a bathroom. In other words, we haven't yet addressed the fact that we have no space to grow in this tiny, one bedroom bungalow.
Some day, we're going to want to grow our family. We have to figure something out.
Many months ago, before the idea of a full-size top-up ever came about, we were considering a smaller scale renovation, a high-end attic conversion including a master bathroom and walk-in closet. Our attic is decent for it, with a high enough ceiling and dormers already in place.
Since we originally considered this option, we've moved through a whole bunch of other ideas and plans. When everything relating to our 'raise-the-roof' project fell through, the husband brought the attic up again with a kind of sad little laugh. After all, if we had tackled the project when we had originally come up with the idea over a year ago, we would be happily settled into our master suite by now.
I try not to think about that too much.
Right now, we're in the drawings phase. The husband has been slogging through the details getting it ready for permit. It's a simpler design than it's original conception. Just a bedroom, a set of stairs rising up into an empty space with storage and closets along the low walls. No bathroom. No walk-in closet.
It will, I hope, be gorgeous none-the-less. I envision bright white walls and lots of soft fabrics and rugs making it a warm, inviting space to spend time in. Soft blues and yellows. Strong, natural woods.
In an effort to get excited about something that still seems to be so far off, something that still seems to be in the conception stage, not yet part of reality, I made a moodboard!
- Bedside tables from West Elm.
- A rug from Rugs USA.
- Drapes from West Elm
- A bed with a beautiful dark wood grain from EQ3.
- Pillows from Tonic Living.
- Table lamps from West Elm.

Actor Kamal Haasan has asked celebrities in the entertainment industry to stay away from Jallikkattu protests and protesters as youths and students have been doing an 'excellent job'. "Interference by celebrities might shift the focus and limelight to them and would take the sheen out of the on-going protests," Kamal Haasan has said so in a statement.
Youths and students all over the State have taken to spontaneous protests in order to get the Govt. of Tamil Nadu and the Centre to initiate urgent action to revoke the existing ban on Jallikkattu.
Protests have been going on from Chennai to Madurai to Trichy to Coimbatore to Tirunelveli and all cities and towns across the State. Celebrities have expressed their support via Twitter and Facebook and in some cases, visiting the protesters in person.
In his statement issued yesterday, Kamal Haasan has lauded the students and youths for having taken up the issue in a huge manner. "It's an excellent endavour and let this protest be theirs.
For the first time, they have taken up something nice and are going full-throttle. Usually, politicians provoke students to go on protest but in the instant case, students' spontaneous protests have stumped politicians.
"I personally feel film celebrities shouldn't interfere in the protest as it would take sheen out of the students and youths' protest. It's their struggle; there might be some future politicians among them. Let them go ahead with their protests and I feel nobody has the right to prevent them from protesting," Kamal Haasan said.

Shift+Option/Alt with Mouse Click Does Not Deselect Individual Selected Faces
I have found a pretty blatant bug in Silo all 2.5.x Mac installs.Shift+Option/Alt with a mouse click does not deselect faces once selected.
It does seem to work with a selection drag out - but this is not my normal work flow and very hard to do in some instances.I've reproduced this on my April 2017 MBP 15" Running High Sierra (up to date)with the integrated intel GPU andwith the Radeon Pro 650with Anti-aliasing turned on & offI've also reproduced this on my early 2013 MBPRunning El Capitan
I need a solution - I'm using a 2.3 install because I over wrote my last good version of Silo that worked and 2.3 is the latest installer I could find on my machines.Thank you!

I would first check mouse settings have that combination set to 'Select Visible Subtract'? You might have managed to change it somehow.
You can download all versions of Silo from 2.3.1 and newer here (at the bottom of the page)
Some basic silo tutorials
|05 May 2018
Odd this happened on both machines. It might be a shared settings updated with new installs.
I never recall SHIFT+OPTION(ALT) and LMB == PAN VIEW before; I set it to 'Select Visible Subtract' like you stated and its working fine.
But now my SILO 2.3x doesn't work much at all -- the HD monitor causes the mouse pointer not to select what it's over.
Groovy 2.5x works now thanks!

Playable Races
Science Specialists — An ethereal race whose devotion to scientific discovery allows them to conquer all by knowing all.
Economic Specialists — A race who worships wealth as the only true virtue which allows them to buy all it needs to ensure victory.
Industry Specialists — A once enslaved race who used their own labor and ingenuity to break their shackles; their industry will allow them to take over this new galaxy.
Military Specialists — A once tribal race that abandoned their civil wars to wage war on all other races, both in their former galaxy and in this new one.
Cultural Specialists — A race that has now had to abandon two different galaxies; their gifts for art and rhetoric allow them to conquer other races through more diplomatic means.
Native Races
Beings that have made the planets and the space in Xenia their home for thousands of years, long before the arrival of the new races. Some natives are friendly and willing to trade, others are hostile and see any outsiders as enemies to be destroyed.
Friendly Natives
**Increased Favor Through : Trade routes, Strong Science, Strong Culture
**Decreased Favor Through : Aggressive Actions, Large Armies by their resources
A Terran based people who live in very loose groups. They are extremely concerned with what they believe is the sacred nature of all life in the universe. Euchites are very slow to anger, but will resort to violence when other options have proved inadequate. Once angered, they become righteous and are dangerous and feared. As a highly evolved and intelligent race, they tend to look down on other races
An extremely organized and structured society of people, who are characterized by Law and Order. They are not a religious society, and view only their own government as absolute authority over all matters, private or public. The government is controlled by one person, called the Melchist, who is elected for life from an inner circle of bureaucrats. The Melchist runs Audian government as a dictator, but in practice often relies on council from those who he was appointed from. As with any organized institution, corruption is present and very often is concentrated most in the Melchist's inner circle of advisors.
Neutral Natives
Very Isolationist. Do not go out of their way to Trade with others. Does not attack unless they are threatened directly. Maintain their own borders and will not fight for resources unless already under their control.
**Increased Favor Through: Trades that favor them (an even 1 to 1 trade will not increase or decrease neutral natives favor)
**Decreased Favor through : Settling cities near them, or near their resources, having large armies near them
Donatists are an Oceanic bases people who live in large tribal societies, whose economies are based completely off trading for various goods. They hold currency, or anything to do with their economy to the level of religious belief, and their sole purpose is to become wealthy. Their tribal societies are structured into strict class systems, which are completely merit based.
All Donatists when reaching adulthood are completely forsaken by their families and are exiled with no personal belongings and left to completely fend for themselves. They will each then climb up the economic ladder to establish their name and contribute to greater society.
The Naassen are a group of Lizard like people, of low intelligence. They have the capabilities of speech, and are not completely hostile, but rarely see beyond their own very simple short term goals. They are excellent in fighting hand to hand, and their particular tribes' greedy hoarding of gold, silver, or any other types of jewels.
Their society is loosely structured into tribal groups with a single Chieftain in each group. Anyone in Naassen society who wishes to become chief, must simply kill the current chief in single combat.
Hostile Natives
Very aggressive. Will attack very often completely unprovoked. Very difficult to befriend or trade with. Will go out of their way to explore and exploit all resources in the map that they can take over through military might. Will spawn ships and take over new planets if possible.
++Increased Favor : Very slowly through extreme aggressiveness and large armies
++Decrease Favor: start at war with all other natives/players
Have very exclusive small cults that they belong too. They are openly hostile to anyone outside of their cult, even others of the same race. Orphite Cults all have slightly differing structure, but all include a priest, or someone responsible for the cult rituals, as well as a war chief, who is responsible for all military tactics. The cult priest and war chief are completely equal, and serve as checks on each other's power.
The Sethian race is a race of completely synthetic beings. No one is quite sure which race Sethians spawned from, or if they possibly predate every other race in the universe. The only things that are known of Sethians is that they are native to Gas planets, and they are extremely dangerous. Sethians are a completely linked group of beings, and share instant communication with each other, through various networking abilities in a sort of computer telepathy. They are all machine, and can take on various forms and sizes. The one single Sethian goal is control of all planetary resources, and when they come across other natives or races they will either destroy them, or enslave them for biological experimentation.

For the UK, creating a link between the growth of the private rented sector and the delivery of new homes offers the opportunity to both increase the volume of homes built in the UK, and improve the experience of renters. 2016 will be a formative year in the growth of the institutionally backed build to rent sector.
London's new housing zones represent a brand new way of delivering homes within the area. Each zone represents a partnership between local councils, private developers and the greater London authority to help build a projected figure of 66,000 new homes over the next decade. At current rates this equates to around three years' worth of supply.
It also seems likely that a large number of these new homes will end up in the private rented sector. In 2014 the Mayor's Housing Strategy set a specific target for the number of homes to be built and sold to portfolio landlords. This was the first time this was done and it was envisaged as a mechanism to quickly generate forward funding for new developments. Housing Zones look to be the first real test of this strategy.
Building the right homes in the right places is the best way of making the Capital more affordable to the average Londoner. Housing Zones are well placed to deliver large numbers of homes, offering a sought after mix of shovel ready sites that are viable to housebuilders.
20 years of growth alongside sweeping demographic changes have left the Capital's traditionally more conservative Outer Boroughs at the forefront of the push to build more homes over the next five to ten years. Housing zones aim to take advantage of these changes, bringing together land, developers and perhaps most importantly, political will.

Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull - On the Floor
Album: Love? (2011)
Charlie Sheen can keep his skanky porn star goddesses. Jennifer Lopez? She's what I envisage a goddess to be... the woman is a stunner! Sure, her relevance in the music industry had waned in recent years (as had her draw at the box office), but the power of the Idol franchise has seen her back in the spotlight with a weekly audience of 20 million plus that have sent J.Lo straight into the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100, the Australian ARIA charts and all the way to #1 in Finland. You go Finland. The song behind it all is of course 'On The Floor.' Admittedly, Pitbull does nothing for me, nor does Lopez telling us that it's, "a new generation of party people. Let me introduce you to my party people in the club." Don't do that. Ever. However, the rest of what we get forms quite a good dance song, a guaranteed pop smash and a definite club mainstay for 2011. Welcome back J.Lo.
