The answer to this famous riddle is, of course, that neither one is made of cheese.
Actually, this riddle is designed to be nonsensical, and according to its author, Lewis Carroll, he never intended for there to be any real answer to the question: "why is a raven like a writing desk?" The entire point of the riddle is that it has no answer, although numerous people have come up with creative interpretations of the riddle.
This question is posed in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in a scene with Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse at the famous Tea Party. Alice is informed that riddles are being exchanged, and the Mad Hatter asks "why is a raven like a writing desk?" The guests attempt to puzzle the riddle out, and several pages later, the Hatter admits "I haven't the slightest idea." The scene is meant to illustrate the topsy-turvy world into which Alice has fallen, with the whole book illustrating how confusing the adult world seems to children. When Alice asks about why they are wasting their time with riddles which have no answer, she's really asking a larger question about adults.
In an introduction to a later edition of the book, Lewis Carroll addressed the issue, saying "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!" In the original preface, "never" was spelled "nevar," which is "raven" backward. Carroll's pun was unfortunately lost to the red pen of a proofreader, confusing the issue of the riddle even further.
A number of people have come up with creative answer to "why is a raven like a writing desk." The answer "Poe wrote on both" is popular, as is "they both stand on sticks" and "they both come with inky quills." One wit responded with "because there is a B in both and an N in neither," an answer which was meant to highlight the absurdity of the original question. (Saying it aloud might make it clearer.)
The answer to the question of is largely up to you. Many people like to come up with absurdist answers to the question, turning the strange riddle back on itself. Admitting that you have no idea is, the classic response, and the response given in the original text. However, you should certainly not allow tradition to dictate the answer, as that would spoil all the fun.
Incidentally, the correct format for the riddle is "why is a raven like a writing desk," not "how is a raven like a writing desk," contrary to any misprints you may have seen.

re: Why is a raven like a writing desk? I believe I may have solved this. It is widely known that Lewis Carroll gave an answer to this riddle but I believe his answer was also a clue to the true answer. He published an answer as "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat, and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front." It was only realized recently that he spelled "nevar" incorrectly on purpose; it is "raven" backwards, and the second part of his explanation does not fit both a raven and a writing desk so has puzzled scholars. I believe in his answer he created another riddle and hint towards the
real answer.
I believe he intended the riddle to be solved. My answer to the riddle is: One is nevar backwards and the other is forwords. The misspelling of "forward" as "for-words" fits the saying and l believe this is the answer that Lewis Carroll had hidden as the intended answer. It would be good to know if he misspelled "forward" as "forword" in his work? -- Neil B. |

In my copy of Alice in Wonderland, in the notes in the back it says that Lewis Carroll wrote this in the preface to the 1896 edition: "Enquiries have so often come to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter's riddle can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here what seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz.'Because it can produce a few notes, although they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!' This, however, is merely an afterthought; the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all." Can someone explain the last part of that about never being put in front? I think a poster here already guessed that part of it, but I didn't understand. |

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Sounds to me like a typical kid question to something said, such as "A raven is like a writing desk." (It could be an idom or catchphrase.) Kids have that 'why phase', so of course they'd ask. And of course the adult might say, "Because I said so." You can interpret this as equivalent to saying, "I haven't the foggiest idea," "I have no clue," etc. So really, it wouldn't have an answer simply because adults wouldn't know 'why', just that it is (for idom/catchphrase purposes) |

anon985289 Post 239 |
Before googling it, the best answer I had was that since a raven is generally a bad omen in literature and the most common thought while sitting at a writing desk is "what to write?", they both represent uncertainty. Humans don't know what to expect in the future, so they look for clues in the present while struggling to write their future. But really, a future should just be written, paying no mind to the ravens, because it's more enjoyable than always worrying about what's to come. |

Why is a raven like a writing desk? Because that which is never backward is always forwards, and a raven is nevar backward, and a writing desk is always for words. If you knew a little bit about Carroll's habit of feeding out teasing clues bit by bit, you'd know that Carroll's statement that the riddle was not intended to have an answer was very similar in form to other little games he played. For those of you who are not familiar with the statement, it's in the form of "no meaning was originally intended, but if it was, hint, hint, and hint". I'm paraphrasing here, but I truly believe that if Carroll hadn't died so soon after making the statement, he would have given us more clues until someone finally came up with the answer. – Mary H. |

More than half of you completely missed the point of the book and the article. The "riddle" was a satirical attempt by Lewis Carroll stating that adults should stop wasting time trying to answer questions with no answers and instead focus on more important things. |
anon291129 Post 218 |
I know there's no need for a response but I had a thought as well. Back in old times before email and even mail carriers, ravens brought letters and information to people on routes I believe. Each raven traveled specific routes and carried letters or small scrolls. So a writing desk helps carry or allow information to be copied or written down/delivered through other means. And a raven would deliver information or copied information to another person/to other means also. |

In disagreement with the article, I think that one can assume that Alice is a pre-teen or even a young teen always being told what to doM how to live and so on, she hates it and like Dorothy and Oz, Alice longs for something different -- A place where she will fit in because no one expects anything of anyone and what you do expect is never so and vice versa. In a sense, she gets what she asked for, only to find that it's not what she wanted at all. So her trip to Wonderland causes the realization that she is prepared to be rational and conform to societal expectations for fear of finding herself as Mad as
a Hatter.
If Wonderland is what she created in her mind, then a riddle would be a serious question. Since a serious question warrants a serious answer, then the answer should be nonsense. The only answer that makes sense and no sense is: Because in your mind it is so! |
anon239743 Post 214 |
I think you are all looking backward at a forward question. It is childhood that Alice finds is nonsensical and thereby takes her first steps into adulthood after her visit to Wonderland. In the beginning, she says that if the world were her way than all the things that were would not be and contrariwise, how they weren't they would be. So the obvious answer is that a raven is not like a writing desk because if it were, then it wouldn't be. |

Just a quick thought on my part: If I understand correctly, the question is, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" This means that Carrol wanted to know for what reason the are alike not which characteristics do they share. This can be answered by from 2 points of view. 1. (child asking the question) Because I said so. It doesn't matter than none of this makes sense to you. It simply is because I say so. 2. (adult asking the question) Because God made it so. We can't change what simply is no matter how little sense it makes to us. |

(Doesn't make much sense, does it?) need to get your facts straight before you say something that is actually a very wise answer, and just accept the fact that there is no true answer to this question. There are many. Edgar Allan Poe, born January 19, 1809, died October 7, 1849. To cut to the chase, he was a famous author, who wrote a poem called 'The Raven'. Obviously, being in the time frame he was in, he didn't write his works on a wall, iphone, or laptop computer. He wrote it on a writing desk. You see? Poe wrote about a raven, and he wrote *on* a writing desk. Poe writes on both. Ta-da! |

In relation to this riddle, a raven is like a writing desk because there are never any answers. If you look at the riddle, and the information surrounding it, "there is no answer" is what you get every time. Therefore, a raven and a writing desk are akin to each other because you can ask either as many questions in as many ways as you like, but neither will ever be able to provide you the answer. |

I've just been reading all these comments and had to say something: I don't think there is a answer, and that is the point of the riddle. The mad hatter is very mad and if you asked 'why is the mad hatter mad?' then the answer would have to be 'because he is.' If you asked 'why is the white rabbit always late?' There is no precise reason -- just because he is. There's no point going into the question so much so you get yourself confused about it all. So if there ever was an answer it would be simply 'Because it is'. Hope this helped. |

# 107: Poe wrote on a raven in a different sense than writing on a desk. He wrote on the topic of a raven in his poem, "The Raven." However, as this answer can be fit to make sense, I believe that it is incorrect. The whole point, in my opinion, is that there was never meant to be an answer, because, like it or not, the riddle isn't a question. It is a statement. A statement about how truly ridiculous people are, needing to have an answer to everything, when in reality there is no answer to everything. People cannot accept that it just is what it is. |

To 158: The author used a mad hatter to assist in signifying how strange the adult world is to a child. The character of the Mad Hatter was based on a common turn of phrase used during the time the book was written to describe the mental condition of a hat maker before they discovered that mercury, used in making hats in that time was toxic and could caused brain damage. Clock makers also had had a similar condition. This was not a reference to Poe; it was an alliteration of the confusion of a child in an adult world, for those who missed the sedulity. |

It's simple. A raven, as an embodiment of both intrigue and some association with the dark, or death, is like a writing desk because approaching the creative process (i.e. sitting down to write) is very much the same way. Those who don't know this are simply not writers. |

Actually, you are all incorrect and partially so is the description: Q: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" A: "Careful, she's stark ravin' mad!" It is the play on words of a writer and a creative reader to answer correctly. A writing desk could indeed seek plunder and prey as a 'raven' does. If you have ever had writers block where it felt like a pen weighed a ton and the desk held you captive or ever had to listen to a raven then you know that both situations could make you utterly, absolutely, or quite mad. |

I guess the intention of Carroll was to show that adults sometimes say weird stuff or do weird things but later have no idea why they said or did. The whole story of wonderland happens inside Alice's dream (The tea she drank was a drug of some kind that put her to sleep). Each character portrays someone in her life. But, as I guess, The Mad Hatter is a resemblance of all the adults in the world. Well, after all they say "As mad as the hat is." |

Why is a raven like a writing desk? Well i believe the answer to this isn't necessarily the answer to the actual question. I think the answer is "Why does there have to be a correct answer?" Every time I see this question I don't try to think of the "right or correct" answer, I think "Why is the question being asked?". This is when I began really thinking. I think of the question some more and funny images pop into my head. Maybe the raven isn't like a writing desk. Maybe our minds just want it to be. "Why does there have to be an answer?" I ask myself, and it's because the adult world wants there to be
. But if you ask a little kid, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", one of two things will happen: the child will either be completely confused (in this case they are already consumed in the adult world) or the child will come up with, what to you might be a very ridiculous answer, but nonetheless an answer which will make sense in every way to them (in this case they are what we all used to be: innocent and open-minded). To them there is no reason why a raven is like a writing desk, it just is. And maybe that's just how it's supposed to be.

anon101164 Post 123 |
There are two answers. The more popular is, "Poe wrote on both." My answer is, "Both are believed capable of bearing the soul of another." |

a raven is like a writing desk simply because a glass of orange juice is like a shark. |
anon100267 Post 119 |
Because they are both boring: a writing desk is boring because you work and write on it and a raven is boring because of its dull, black color and they both sit there all day doing nothing! |
anon99486 Post 118 |
There both make the "Ra" sound in the beginning. Your questions are answered. |
anon99397 Post 116 |
This is a reference to Edgar Allen Poe and "The Raven". Look it up! --D. |
anon99062 Post 114 |
Because you can put a raven in a desk, or a desk in a raven. Yet in both situations, the raven will die. Either from suffocation or forceful injury. I just came up with that. |
anon98813 Post 113 |
I think it is because neither horses or rainbow fish are similar to the silver star of apple. |
anon97718 Post 112 |
maybe, because they both sit on wood. |
anon95914 Post 109 |
But because there is a question there must also be an answer, because there must be a yin if there is a yang. For everything must have a balance. otherwise there is chaos. |
anon94999 Post 108 |
You cannot find the answer because there is none. More to the point, must people have an answer for everything? or must everything have an answer? and the answer to that is, as long as there are humans, right or wrong, they will always have an answer. |
anon94982 Post 107 |
What's with this poe thing? It seems to be the americans posting this which is weird because Lewis Carroll was British so I highly doubt he would use something american as the answer! What/who is poe? And how can you write on a raven? So "poe wrote on both" is a stupid and obviously wrong answer. |
anon94934 Post 106 |
A raven is like a writing desk because a cat is like a stool. |

anon92597 Post 100 |
I've always said 'because poe wrote on both.' i actually had no idea what it was from, to be honest. |
anon92481 Post 98 |
I'm not claiming to know the answer, as there are many possible answers. for the same reason, I'm not saying any of you are wrong. it's true that neither of them are made of cheese, poe did write on both and there truly is a "B" in 'both' and an "N" in 'neither' but I like my own answer better than these. My answer is not to the original question, 'Why is raven like a writing desk' but to a re-interpretation. poster 31 re-interpreted the question as follows: why is a 'dark and beautiful creature' like the One that made it? to simplify that, why is the creation like its creator? or in what way is the raven
like the one that wrote about it? (note, it's not "in what way" but "why").
My answer is a geeky one. because everybody puts aspects of themselves into many of their characters to make them easier to write. I also choose to interpret this as Lewis Carrol saying that he too is as mad as a hatter. There are other ways I could interpret it, such as saying that the raven is choosing to be like a writing desk by mimicking it. I don't know why it would do that. I could also say that it says 'a writing desk' not 'any writing desk' and so the writing desk in question could be made of raven bones or something. absurd, but possible. |

They're both 'black' |

a raven is like a writing desk because they each produce notes but they are all flat. i hope it helps. |
anon91798 Post 95 |
Pondering upon this question I have actually come across an idea that holds true to the original answer of "I haven't the slightest". Perhaps the answer, in keeping with the original intentions is that it is never kissed, why a raven is like a writing desk. if this doesn't make sense then an easier way to look at it would be to read the sentence out loud. |
anon91729 Post 94 |
because you can get a low note (musical) out of both. |
anon91099 Post 93 |
Because it can produce a few notes, though. they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!" (Note the spelling of "never" as "never"—turning it into "raven" when inverted. This spelling, however, was "corrected" in later editions to "never" and Carroll's pun was lost.) |
anon90753 Post 92 |
why don't you guys just not look for the answer! be imaginative, and fun about it! create your own answer! you guys think too deeply about this question. it's just a question. i could say, how is a mirror like a dog? i would have no answer, and you guys would be trying to figure an answer out all day. |

a raven is like a writing desk because apparently it is. that's why. |
anon89162 Post 85 |
Why is a raven like a writing desk? The answer is "I haven't the slightest idea!" because the best answer is sometimes to admit that you didn't know and may never know. The question simply unearths other questions. When is an open window not at all open? |
anon88579 Post 83 |
That is absurd. Ravens don't have thumbs. Obviously, it's because they both have legs and feathers. |
anon88547 Post 82 |
I know there isn't an answer or the answer is, "I haven't the slightest idea," but I think it would be cool if you replied a quote from X-Men: "Why do you always ask questions you already know the answers to?" Try it. You might just get the results you are supposed to. --ME |
anon88372 Post 81 |
i think its original intention is a mockery of our need to have an answer to everything. |
anon88043 Post 79 |
I'm not very sure if this is correct but if you watch the movie then you will see how later in the movie,after the mad hatter asks the question, when alice tries to find her way back, there is a raven using its beak as a pencil and writing on a desk. There is also another one that i heard only once from someone: because there is a type of wood called raven wood often used to make desks! |
anon87887 Post 78 |
Well you see if you spell them backward, each in turn, neither one can you discern. |
anon87487 Post 75 |
it's not that hard, really. well, do they both tweet? no. can you write on both? no. well then they have absolutely nothing in common unless they are both very old and then they might just croak. But when you think about it for a really long time, you might come up with a different answer. |
anon87288 Post 74 |
because poe wrote on both! |
anon87210 Post 73 |
Why is a raven like a writing desk? You may say because there is a B in both and an N in neither, but I say because i said so. owned. completely. by me. P.S. in order to accept my answer you have to be as mad as a hatter |

Where is this raven? He's got some explaining to do. |

When is a door not a door? When it's a writing desk. |
anon84402 Post 58 |
Because as they both age, they lose their youth and luster and eventually fade away making use for the new. As they age they lose what they had when they were younger, and become old and frail. This might be why Lewis Carrol (pardon any misspellings) said that he was talking about the confusing world of the adults, and how an innocent child might look at it. I do not know why those above are posting comments on Poe and "The Raven" when the real question is not how it is similar to other works, but why is the raven like the writing desk. |
anon84367 Post 57 |
Because you can baffle the billions with both. |

They are both made of wood. |

anon82965 Post 53 |
They can both produce excrement. My answer is the right one because it is good. But, yeah "the question was "why", not "in what way". To the why, I guess I'd answer with the question, "Why not?" |
anon82776 Post 52 |
This raven is clearly not a raven at all but a writing desk. Ravens cannot be writing desks and thus writing desks cannot be ravens. If I were a raven i would want a simple life of a writing desk, if I was a writing desk I would want the exciting life of a raven. The correct or "incorrect" answer as some would say, is that the raven and writing desk are envious of each other. |
anon82083 Post 50 |
Because neither is freaking made of cheese! They already told you the answer! |
anon81984 Post 49 |
Why is the raven like a writing desk? Well it is simple if we were supposed to know what it meant. wouldn't the answer have been revealed, and for that matter, why are all you people obsessing over finding the answer to something you will never understand? |

Because ravens are used to deliver messages like pigeons and you write letters on a writing desk so you send the letter that you wrote on the writing desk! see? it's along those lines2 |
anon78889 Post 37 |
The answer is obviously because they both are flat, hold quills, and most of all because they both stay still. |
anon78623 Post 35 |
Who are we but simple humans? Why must there be an answer or no answer? Life is simply a perspective, an answer is only a part of your limited point of view, which all life is. So 'Why is a raven like a writing desk?' I could certainly associate many connections to it, or take Charles 'original statement in there being none. But perhaps the answer to the riddle is all of this. |

There are many interpretations and applications for this riddle. (the nonsensical riddle is a tool to make you think; kind of like algebra; and let us bear in mind that Carroll was a mathematician; who might use his ambiguous allusions to convey philosophical and theological conundrums). Lewis Carrol was known to use double, triple and quadruple meanings. The application i see most overarchingly is perhaps an allusion to 'the problem of evil'. God is the creator; He also made the raven. Like the work of Poe, is not 'the raven' also a beautiful creature? God is good and not evil; though He created evil. An implication here poses the question: Why is raven like a writing desk; why is a
'dark and beautiful creature' like the One that made it? Poe wrote on the desk; but why is the raven like the desk from which it was made?
The words of the riddle are intentionally unsound; like the raven that is (unlike the writing desk. |

anon76649 Post 27 |
You all are missing the point of the riddle. The actual question is "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", suggesting that the raven chose to be different from the writing desk, not how. It is a question of intent not characteristics in common or differing. Why did the raven choose to be like, or different from, the writing desk? |
anon76613 Post 25 |
They both mock. A raven will mock you, like in Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven', and a writing desk will mock you when you have writer's block. Clearly they both will mock you. |

it has no answer. That's what it was meant for. The mad hatter, someone who was clearly insane and not thinking, asks alice this with no real expectation that she would get it anyway. i love the youngsters who think they know what is what and probably think that emo isn't the new goth. |
anon73709 Post 16 |
I always thought it was because "They both lead to murder" as in the Raven, the bird, in a group are called a murder, or can be used symbolically to represent an dark situation such as murder, and the writing desk because how often do we see murder in the written word? or even authors that kill themselves/others? |
anon73515 Post 15 |
Why is a raven like a writing desk? Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front. the incorrect spelling of "never" was intended because never backward is Raven because you don't put the end in front. |
anon72974 Post 14 |
How amusing to see how some posters believe being smarter than others, just because they know an answer to something. Fact is, not everything bears an answer or the answer is so simple that it is difficult to accept it as being the right one. It lies within human nature to see things in the most complicated way instead of going practical. Lewis Carrol joked with this, thus asking this question, knowing exactly that people would try to find the answer, which, of course, does not exist or is too simple to accept. Saying "I don't know the answer" would be the same as admitting defeat in a certain way. But it does not mean one is dumb or ignorant just because the answer remains unknown. I believe people tend to proof themselves by showing they know the answers, even when there isn't one. In other words, the answer to this is: There is no answer. |
anon72956 Post 13 |
The answer is: "I haven't the slightest idea." Who is the raven? The raven is a guy who went "raven' mad!" (raving mad, in slang) which is: the mad hatter. This pertains to the future. The future is like a white bond paper. The future is not set. It is always changing. Thus whatever happens in the future is up to us. Whatever we write on our white bond paper of destiny is up to us. If the raven is the mad hatter who has the power to write our destiny on a writing desk, and if you ask him what will he write, he'll say, "I haven't the slightest idea." |

Ah those darn proofreaders. My little sister asked me this once. Since I am the family bibliophile everyone assumes I know the answer to everything. I was immensely pleased with myself to haughtily answer "I haven't the slightest idea", which wasn't as well received as I had expected. My smug expression apparently implied to her that I knew the answer but was being a mean big sister and refusing to tell her. Which resulted in a crying episode to mom about how I was being mean to her for no reason at all. The end result was a weekend of detention because mom had never read the book and wouldn't believe me when I insisted that was really the answer! I was pretty mad about it at the time but looking back I still feel a bit smug about my answer! |

Ladera Ranch, Calif.
Detached cluster houses allowed John Laing Homes to achieve densities of 12 per acre at Potter's Bend. Architect Michael Woodley designed a six-pack of two homes facing the street, two behind them gazing toward each other across a shared roadway, and two in the back that face forward. "We found that our buyers interpret it as living at the end of a cul-de-sac," says Marianne Browne, vice president of sales and marketing for John Laing Homes. "We still provide yards and green space in front, but it's common area."
The lots on the streets read as traditional in size, with the pocket lots tucked behind. Inside, this house's foyer is defined but modestly scaled. The floor plan swings around a central stairwell, where the house opens to a spacious great room and views of the garden. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a bath are stacked over the garage, allowing room for a spacious master suite and an office nook on the rest of the second floor.
This larger home in the cluster features a linear plan attached to the garage, compared with the box plans of the homes behind it that wrap around the garage. "It's a completely different feel, yet all the houses have access to private space," Woodley says. "It fits together like a puzzle."
Project: Potter's Bend, Ladera Ranch, Calif.; Lot sizes: Cluster of six lots averaging 2,800 square feet (the lot size of the house shown is 70 feet wide by 35 feet deep); House sizes: 1,225 to 1,825 square feet (the house shown is 1,636 square feet); Builder/developer: John Laing Homes, Newport Beach, Calif.; Architect: Woodley Architectural Group, Denver
Temecula, Calif.
In this upscale market, the strategy was to put a lot of house on a small lot, or, as architect Michael Woodley puts it, "the big house on the not-so-big lot." Although all of the lots in this community were plotted at 45 feet wide, the builder narrowed some of them and made others wider to achieve a lower sales price per square foot. This house is stacked high and fills the entire envelope, but in a way that doesn't kill the facade. The two-and-a-half-story turret creates drama on the elevation while providing a stylish circulation spine that opens the interior from top to bottom. Because the garage is pulled back from the street and is accessed through a side court, its presence is downplayed.
Project: Chelsea Estates, Temecula, Calif.; Lot size: 4,500 square feet (45 feet wide by 100 feet deep); House size: 3,280 square feet; Builder/developer: Lennar, Miami; Architect: Woodley Architectural Group, Denver
Las Vegas
Targeted toward young professionals, this entry-level house has room for just the basics--and no backyard. Tracy Lee, vice president of design for Astoria Homes, made the most of the tiny lot by including a landscaped and fenced front courtyard for outdoor living. At 7 feet by 13 feet, the courtyard is just big enough for a patio table and chairs. Well-mannered street elevations feature recessed one-car garages and projections such as balconies and covered entryways that break up the box.
Inside, the kitchen, dining, and living areas read as one large space, and the laundry, tucked into a niche in the garage, consists of stacked units that come with the house. The upper level is big enough for two bedrooms and a multipurpose loft. Astoria offers four different floor plans in this 429-home community ranging from 1,138 square feet to 1,244 square feet, and three elevation choices per plan. Lee says the builder's best-selling model is the largest one, which features a deck off the master suite.
Project: Silverado Place, Las Vegas; Lot size: 1,530 square feet (34 feet wide by 45 feet deep); House size: 1,176 square feet; Builder/Developer/Architect: Astoria Homes, Las Vegas
Memphis, Tenn.
As charming as a child's drawing, the lines of these simple little houses in a master planned TND belie their thoughtful floor plan. The houses live and look larger than they are, thanks to the open gables that shelter abstracted porches in front and back, and a common park off the back alley that extends the living space. "The advantage of these smaller lots is that you can pull from the community amenities of parks and trail systems," notes Looney Ricks Kiss architect Mark Jones. "But it's important that the lots vary in size to appeal to every buyer."
Two-story volumes and crisp, clean interiors were designed to appeal to single professionals. Against the all-white walls, the architects injected visual interest with exposed tie beams and a jazzy spiral stair. Privacy and flexibility are important elements of these tiny homes. Jones says that on small lots you really have to control window placements. Sill heights on windows facing the neighbor's designated private zone are placed at least 5 1/2 feet off the floor. And the parking is front loaded, but it's an open carport that the owners can walk through or use as a side patio.
Identical in form, the houses rely on their differing colors to create a streetscape. "It's simple construction--balloon framing, a tilt-up wall, and you're set to go," Jones says. "The simplicities of these houses are what make them special."
Project: Harbor Town, Memphis, Tenn.; Average lot size: 3,000 square feet (30 feet wide by 100 feet deep); House size: 1,534 square feet; Builder/developer: Ben Reisman, Memphis; Architect: Looney Ricks Kiss, Memphis; Land planner: RTKL, Baltimore
Bothell, Wash.
With their soft, muted colors and their classic details, these homes are as welcoming as their name suggests. Many of the houses sit a mere 7 feet apart, though the size of the lots varies. They're clustered around two common open spaces and bordered by a wetland. On the three-bedroom-plus-den plan shown below, the architects opened up the first floor to one big great room and tucked the kitchen around behind to give it some separation from the living area. Standing in the entryway, you can look diagonally through the house and see the grassy common beyond.
Mithun created neighborly elevations that emphasize the porch, which is large enough to set a few chairs on. The homes are clad in the contrasting textures of earth-toned cement fiberboard and cedar shingles. The photo shown above is not, however, indicative of all the North Creek Cottages. A stormwater detention vault in the front yard of several houses required a 20-foot setback, whereas the majority of homes in the community sit 5 to 10 feet from the sidewalk.
Project: North Creek Cottages, Bothell, Wash.; Average lot size: 2,035 square feet (37 feet wide by 55 feet deep); House size: 1,584 square feet; Builder/developer: CamWest, Kirkland, Wash.; Architect/Land planner: Mithun, Seattle

I have this newly happening issue with SS32:
When I use "Insert Song" to manually choose a song to play, it let's you filter by Title, Artist, Time, etc...
It defaults to the "Title" mode, so when you start to type a song, it searches by Title.
If you want to search by Artist, you click on Artist and then start to type the Artist name.
HOWEVER, now whenever I click on anything other that Title, it doesn't change to that mode. It no longer searches by Artist or any of the other options. The only one that works is Title. The Artists show up properly in Title mode, but you can no longer actually use the Artist (or other) filter modes.
Has anyone ever seen this problem or have any suggestions? I've restarted the PC, but with no success.

Have you tried doing a Dump and Resort on that station from the Dispatch?

and make sure that Dispatch and the SS32 are connecting thru the network. If you changed anything in the categories, the dump and resort should fix your problem.

"Unwrapping the Gift of Gratitude"
The Rev. Dr. Scott Stoner
In honor of this being a short work week, this will be a short column, too!The celebration of Thanksgiving has me thinking about my favorite quote about gratitude. This quote is from an author by the name of William Arthur Ward. "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."
In the spirit of this quote, we want to say thank you to all of you who read this column and share it with your friends and family. We at Living Compass are grateful for all the support that you have provided our programs this past year as we continue to work together to support individuals, couples, families and communities in being more proactive about creating wellness and wholeness in their lives.
For what and for whom are you feeling particularly grateful for this year? Following the advice of William Arthur Ward's quote, why not unwrap those feelings of gratitude and give those around you a present by telling them how grateful your are for their presence in your life? You will be glad you did, and so will they.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from Living Compass.

Natural gas prices near 10-year low amid mild weather, higher supplies in winter 2011-12
Natural gas prices near 10-year low amid mild weather, higher supplies in winter 2011-12
Natural gas prices continued their downward trend this winter as a result of continued high production levels, mild weather limiting heating demand, and robust storage. On March 31—the end of what is considered winter for the natural gas market—spot natural gas prices at the Henry Hub approached $2 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). On April 18, the natural gas spot price at Henry Hub was $1.87/MMBtu. Storage levels were 2,479 billion cubic (Bcf) for the week ending March 30, more than 60% above the five-year average for that week. U.S. population-weighted heating degree days were 18% below normal from November through March, reducing estimated, average residential and commercial natural gas demand by over 6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) compared to the previous five-year average.

1. Trade and Your Life
For centuries, European countries conquered foreign areas and made them colonies. Britain controlled India, many islands in the West Indies, about a dozen African countries at one time or another and even the United States. France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Portugal all had colonies around the world. Colonies were formed for a number of reasons: economic, military and the spread of Christianity. Many focused on the natural resources an area offered. Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed concerns about "new colonialism" in Africa, according to a story by Reuters news service. "When people come to Africa to make investments, we want them to do well, but also want them to do good," she said in the article. "We don't want them to undermine good governance in Africa." She is concerned about the influx of Chinese companies in Africa. Find a newspaper article about trade or economic activity in Africa. Or find an example online. Discuss with your family the role products from other countries play in your life.
Learning Standards: Explaining the importance of trade (imports and exports) on national economies in the Eastern Hemisphere (e.g., natural gas in North Africa, petroleum Africa, mineral resources in Asia); responding to a variety of written, visual and electronic texts by making connections to students' personal lives and the lives of others.
2. Monumental
George Armstrong Custer escaped death many times during America's Civil War. He served with the cavalry and had 11 horses shot out from under him, but he only was wounded once. But his luck ran out when he took on the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors near the Little Big Horn River in Montana on June 25, 1876. The tribes, tired of losing their land to settlers, left their reservations to fight. Under the leadership of such important warriors as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, the two tribes went head to head with Custer and the cavalry. Custer underestimated the number of warriors he faced and didn't wait for backup to help in the battle. Custer and 262 of his men died. There is now a National Monument on the site of the battlefield. With family or friends, find a newspaper story about a national park or monument near your home. Or find one online. Plan a trip with your family to see it this summer. Write what you would like to see on the trip, and why.
Learning Standard: Understanding the role of broken treaties and massacres and the factors that led to the Indians' defeat, including the resistance of Indian nations to encroachments and assimilation.
3. It's Your Call
You're walking down the street and you see a bag full of money. What do you do with it? A Chicago-area man picked it up and took it to the bank near where he found the bag of $17,000. The bank said it wasn't theirs, so Robert Adams decided to do the right thing. He called the police, and it was returned to the armored car company that fills up the ATM cash machines in that area. Adams told the Associated Press that he never thought about keeping the money. "It's not my money," he said. "I shouldn't take it. I don't care if you put another zero on there, I wasn't raised to take money that isn't mine." Find a newspaper article about someone doing something right. As a family, come up with hypothetical situations in which you would have to make choices and discuss what you might do in one situation.
Learning Standards: Demonstrating the ability to make a decision or solve a problem using criteria to evaluate solutions; identifying and explaining how individuals in history demonstrate good character and personal virtue.
4. It's Free Speech
Most Americans fly the American flag out of patriotism. Some burn the flag to protest government policies. Such was the case of Gregory Lee Johnson, who burned a flag outside the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas. He didn't like the policies of then President Ronald Reagan. He was arrested under the Texas flag desecration statute, but on June 21, 1989, the U.S. Supreme Court supported his right to burn the flag under the free speech protections of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Find a newspaper article about free speech or constitutional rights. Write an essay sharing your opinion about the case or situation.
Learning Standards: Stating a clear position on a proposition or proposal and supporting that position with organized and relevant evidence; explaining the meaning and origin of key civic ideas, including the core democratic values expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and other foundational documents of the United States.
5. Environmental Concern
Environmentalists went after tuna fishermen on the Mediterranean Sea last week to protest illegal tuna fishing. The tuna fishermen responded by attacking the people aboard the Steve Irwin boat owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, according to an Associated Press article. It said the fishermen "hurled heavy metal chain links aboard" and tried to disable the boat's motor. The environmentalists have no enforcement powers, but monitor illegal fishing in an attempt to save the bluefin tuna, which are fished heavily in the Mediterranean. Find a newspaper article about an environmental issue. Write a letter to the editor taking a position on the issue raised in the story.
Learning Standards: Writing in a way that states a clear position or perspective in support of a proposition or proposal; understanding and explaining ecosystem concepts; describing positive and negative effects of humans on the environment;.
