Having tried to read and follow the full course in miracles on my own has been quite daunting, however coming across this lovely 'gifts' book has been inspiring and an absolute miracle find!
It is a beautiful collection of quotes from the course. You can read it cover to cover, or pick it up and choose a passage to read.
This book is an inspiration, especially just opening the book upon a page and reading the passage that your eyes light upon. Just before going to bed, helps the mind and body to gain a sense of peace, so that sleep comes more profoundly and you feel yourself surrounded by and cushioned by words from spirit, a sense of divine love inspires your dreams.
A quote – "There is nothing outside you……" is placed in my diary, to help me see that life is what I make of it, any changes need to come from the inside before they are seen outside of myself.
The introduction by Marianne Williamson is definitely worth the price of this book, if you have always wanted to read the course in miracles but have been phased, then this book is for you!

Arcade submissions because I can't afford to buy an actual arcade cabinet.

Arcade submissions because I can't afford to buy an actual arcade cabinet.
Here's the mission I just can't seem to even tie:
Nintendo 3DS - Hyrule Warriors Legends - Adventure Mode - Adventure Map - A14 - Defeat the Shield Moblin Forces! LV.2 [Clear Time] - 01:49
My best time is a 1:54 and that's if the missions load fast enough.
I usually average around 2:00.
I'm thinking the New 3DS has the advantage for loading the missions faster.
Can you submit your best score to that track for comparison?
Asked about the console differences on the HWL Discord:
Attachment 98662
In some direct messages, SD card speed for digital was brought up.
So maybe a fast SD card on my old 3DS XL might help out.
Now I wonder if digital on a fast SD card played on a New 3DS is the best way to play most levels.
version is awesome. I think you and I have both proven that having the best hardware definitely isn't giving the best results in certain missions. Never thought of the SD card speed. While it certainly wouldn't hurt to have the faster card, I would think the systems still read the digital copy/hard copy at the same speeds.
To keep the records correct and easy to follow, separate sets of records under the 3DS platform would be ideal.
Thing about that is then we need an entire separate console for the Super Game Boy because it doesn't play exactly like a Game Boy. Also, all PC's that aren't exactly identical (none of them) should all have their own individual platforms because they all perform slightly different which means a game on my PC might lag compared to your juiced PC. It's the same principle here.
I was only wanting to bring this old 3DS vs New 3DS and the differences up simply because I could see it leading to scores being disputed since I/Matthew literally couldn't compete with the other person's scores. Now we know why. However, now people are aware that one system handles it differently so I think that problem has been solved. A 3DS game is a 3DS game. Quite honestly I want to keep them together for competitive reasons. I am OK with Matthew having the advantage on some stages. If I want to beat them, guess I'll have to buy an old 3DS.
I think this game is interesting for playing.
Only thing I can add is this really deters me from wanting to compete on the 3DS. I don't have a New 3DS, I just have an old 3dsxl and a couple of submissions. Dunno how I will look at this in the future unless I actually want to purchase a New one when there is a decent price for it.

Useful For Storing Excess Air - Smash Up: The Big Geeky Box Review
Smash Up has been a fun game in my collection and being the completionist that I am, naturally I've gone and bought all the expansions for it. The problem with that is, despite being able to hold out for a while, eventually the base box isn't large enough to hold all the factions and bases, etc while all sleeved..........or even unsleeved really, that's how crazy the game has got.
So after much badgering by the fans, AEG have now seen fit to give us what we really needed most. A storage solution to house all the Smash Up expansions and future ones at that. But we don't just get a box, no we also get a bonus "Geeks" faction for use in the main game. But it's mostly a box with a price tag so is it worth forking out the cash for it?
"It's cool that it has all the current factions plastered on it. . . . how soon before it gets outdated?"

Category: Storage Solution For Main Game
If you have bought any expandable deck builder games you will know what it's like to buy a box with a ton of cards and loads of spare space for expansions. Well this is taking that notion to a whole new level. The whole point of this box is store all the Smash Up cards to date as well as prepare for future expansions and I mean "prepare" because it's actually quite scary how much space you get here. I own every expansion to date and there is still at least 60% of the box still spare not including tokens and I sleeve this game with premium sleeves. Just how far are they going with this game?
It's a little odd though that after giving us all this space for cards, there isn't any space for the rulebooks. You can argue that it's not exactly a difficult game to play but it's nice to have them around and each expansion adds new mechanics to the game. You place the rulebooks on top of the cards but no extra room was given to accommodate them and I'm not convinced the original rulebook was tested to fit. As a result you get a little bulge in the box but nothing drastic.
The box is very large so make sure you have the shelf space for it. Check out the picture below for a size comparison to a standard square box. On my IKEA Expedit shelf this has to go in lengthways or not at all and it helps if you have a little bit of space between the shelf and the wall.
The best thing here though is without a doubt the new dividers. It annoys me in games like Legendary where the publishers don't make decent dividers to sort out the cards. Honestly Upper Deck, MAKE SOME DECENT DIVIDERS!! It takes a long time to print them off BGG and laminate and cut them, think of your customers, do you know how long it's going to take me to do this for Legendary Encounters?!!..................rant over! But these dividers are gorgeous, the best I've ever seen. They are sturdy, glossy plastic with full pictures depicting the faction and their unique name font and are considerably taller than the cards so you can easily spot them in a crowd. I hope that AEG continue to issue these with future expansions and I urge other publishers to take note here and start preparing similar for their deck building games, THIS is how you do good dividers.
It's Good To Be A Geek
As well the box itself, you also get a new "Geeks" faction to add to the mix, however this is a mixed bag. On the one hand it adds some unique rules and twists by effectively saying "screw you" to the established rules keeping in theme. On the other hand it's very "meta" with its artwork and theme. All the pictures and minions depict celebrity gamers from real life like Felicia Day and Will Wheaton and it looks a little out of place when mixing with other factions. The artwork is also a little obscure for my liking, though not as bad as for example the Miskatonic University "Scooby Doo" style.
The faction itself plays well and you can create some very cool combos, but it never feels as fun or surreal as using other factions. Which would you rather have? Dinosaur Ninjas or Geeky Ninjas? It's a no-brainer really and I can't see the faction getting picked often.
At first it seems a bit mad to spend £15 on what is mostly an empty box, but this is obviously just playing out to the Smash Up fans out there much like myself. If you own at least all but one of the expansions then you are probably most likely getting this box as your base box will be bulging at the seams trying to fit all of them in and you know you want more really! If however you have only acquired the base game and at most one or two expansions and are satisfied with that, then you can survive without this - this is a box for the fans, end of.
But if you are a fan, then this box is worth getting. This is about as future-proof a box as you can get for a game, there is so much room left in it that you just wonder how many more expansions are coming and that's even if you sleeve your cards, a consideration that so many publishers seem to forget about. The dividers are gorgeous quality and allow for easy sorting. The Geeks faction adds some interesting twists to other factions but is by no means essential as it's not particularly exciting and pretty much just a meta-faction for those involved in the gaming hobby.
You Will Like This Game If:
- You have bought all the expansions and really need a better storage solution.
- You are keen to have all the factions and thus need the Geek pack included.
- ............you know what? There isn't a third reason, go figure!
You Will Not Like This Game If:
- You only own a little bit of Smash Up and don't see yourself going mad with it.
- You don't like the idea of spending money on essentially a storage box
- ...............you know what? Can't think of a third reason here either!

Martijn de Waal (www.martijndewaal.nl BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, ) is a writer and researcher based in Amsterdam. He has specialized in the theme of digital media and public culture. With Michiel de Lange he founded The Mobile City (www.themobilecity.nl), an initiative that focuses on digital media and urban culture. At the university of Groningen, VENTOLIN mg, he is currently finishing a PhD on new media and urban culture, as part of the New Media, Public Sphere and Urban Culture research group, VENTOLIN without a prescription, headed by prof. Rene Boomkens.
At certain points in the history of architecture and urban planning, the internal debate on how to apply new technologies surpasses the boundaries of the discipline. At those times, the hopes and fears found in the disputes between architects, policy makers, engineers and planners are extended to a broader discussion about urban and societal change, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. Then, the central issue is not merely how to solve a specific spatial problem with the help of new technology, rx free VENTOLIN. Rather, the debate starts to revolve around its possible impact on urban society at large. What does this new technology mean for urban culture, VENTOLIN for sale, what impact does it have on how we shape our identities and live together in the city. When those questions emerge, Dutch philosopher René Boomkens argues, the professional debate has turned 'philosophical'.
The exhibition 'Toward the Sentient City" - running at the Architectural League NY - can be understood as such a philosophical enterprise. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, On display are five commissioned projects that make use of 'sentient technologies' or 'ubiquitous computing' - technologies that are currently 'coming of age' and promise to change the way we experience the city. Yet, is VENTOLIN addictive, this exhibit is no World Fair where we are to marvel at the new new things, born out of the brains of our smartest engineers, flaunted on shiny pedestals, VENTOLIN no rx, stirring up our imagination, arousing our desire, promising us an ever better future. Nor is it a disciplinary affair where architects and media designers exchange 'best practices' of how to best make use of new sensing and actuating technologies. Curator Mark Shepard wants to 'raise questions rather than pose answers', what is VENTOLIN. The goal is not a peek into a future that is 'just around the corner'. The exhibits should rather be understood as 'conversation pieces' that expose some of the hidden assumptions of a new engineering discipline and the way it is appropriated in social-technical situations, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. And rather than performing ivory tower criticism, the exhibition also lays bare alternative trajectories.
So if this indeed is a philosophical exhibition, No prescription VENTOLIN online, let's have a look at how some of the basic questions of that discipline are addressed. These being of course - to put it somewhat bluntly - : 'who are we?', 'what can we know?' and 'what is the good life?' - or in the context of urban culture 'how are we to live together in the city'.
Before we start answering those questions, I will have a closer look at the technology that is the centre piece of the exhibition. Increasingly, VENTOLIN samples, Shepard states in his interesting curatorial statement, it is the 'dataclouds of 21st century urban space' that shape our experience of the city. All over the city, Herbal VENTOLIN, 'intelligent' applications have started sensing what is happening around them and reacting to it - be it smart traffic lights or cctv camera's whose images are computer analyzed for suspicious behavior. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Add to this the increase of tracking devices such as cell phones that most urbanites carry, and as a result the city has become 'sentient'. Shepard explicitly refers to the Latin roots of this term to explain what he means with that term: 'Sentience refers to the ability to feel or perceive subjectively, and does not necessarily include the faculty of self-awareness.'
Now of course it is not the city itself that perceives or even is sentient, but rather the combined apparatus of tracking and sensing devices - operated by different actors - that note what is going on in the city and output their impressions in all sorts of data streams. Neither is this emergence of the sentient city a singular movement driven by a centralized bureaucracy or company, VENTOLIN pics, established at a single address to which one could send a letter of complaint or e-mail a feature request. The field of what could be called 'urban computing' consists of plural research traditions, performed and commissioned by divergent actors all with their own motivation and implicit understanding of what a city is or should be.[1]
They vary from government agencies that want to bring order to city space, Buy VENTOLIN without a prescription, politicians that would like to promote citizenship, companies that want to offer personalized services, community workers that hope to promote solidarity or mutual understanding, artists that want to criticize consumer culture and urbanites who may embrace, adapt or reject some or other of these offerings, purchase VENTOLIN online. The sentient city thus should be understood as an 'assemblage' of all those different actors that all employ their own logic.[2]
What then should we make of Shepard's notion of 'subjective' perception. It is my guess that he has chosen this term to foreground that the data streams generated by the Sentient City may seem like an example of objective fact gathering, whereas in reality it is far from it, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. For starters, the decision of which data to collect and which to ignore and how to classify it, Buy VENTOLIN from mexico, is already a highly political choice. Next, the data generated by the Sentient City is interpreted by software algorithms and actuation devices, and there is nothing objective about that either. It is a highly normative process, VENTOLIN canada, mexico, india, where subjective values, legal codes and power relations are turned into software code on the base of which sentient technology decides, acts and discriminates.
This foregrounding of the normative side of the sentient city goes against the grain of the discourse of 'ubiquitous computing' that plays a dominant role in the debate on the sentient city. VENTOLIN natural, In ubicomp, an application is usually thought successful if it makes the computer disappear. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, While we carry on our daily routines, computation technology - calmly operating in the background - will make our live more easy, efficient or exciting - whatever way we would want it. Not only does it do away with the need to interact with those beige boxes on our desktops (which of course is not a bad thing per se), it also renders the subjective decisions at the heart of its social interventions invisible and presents them as natural.
Now, this brings up issues of agency, buy VENTOLIN without prescription, and thus leads to the first of our three philosophical questions: the ontological 'who are we'. Does the way we employ new technologies alter the way we think of ourselves. Does it alter our relationship with the world around us and the objects in it. VENTOLIN over the counter, Does it create a shift in how we think about 'agency'
On a side note, a lot of interesting things could be said about the relation between sentient technology and identity. Anecdotical accounts of for instance Esther Polak's installation Amsterdam RealTime[3]
(in which people are traced through the city with GPS-device) show that the collection of data could lead to a new type of reflexivity: the ostensible objective data about participants trajectories through the city at times clashes with their cultivated self-images (one might think of oneself as a urban flaneur, whereas the data now 'proves' that one has only travelled between the couch at home and the cubicle at the office), BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. Or what to think of services that based on their analysis of your urban trajectories assign you to a lifestyle profile that from then on is used to recommend places to go, activities to undertake and people to meet. Would you eventually subscribe to such a continuous lifestyle address made to you by your mobile phone?
Interesting as those questions might be, VENTOLIN price, coupon, they are beyond the scope of Toward the Sentient City. This exhibition mainly brings up issues of agency, as well as our relation to the (natural) world around us. Buy VENTOLIN from canada, For instance the exhibit Amphibious Architecture makes us aware of the invisible underwater world of the Bronx and East Rivers. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, When fish swim by, a floating collection of leds in the river emanates an undulating purple shine on the water surface. One can also inquire the fish by means of a text message about the quality of the water. Poetic and playful as it might be, as Shepard writes, this exhibit 'encourages us to expand our view of what constitutes the city and its citizens.' Not only does sentient technology may ask us to redefine our ontological categories, order VENTOLIN online c.o.d, it also addresses the issue of agency within the category. Do sentient objects, like those in the project Too Smart City have an agency of their own. Cheap VENTOLIN no rx, Are they truly 'intelligent' as is sometimes claimed in the 'smart city' rhetoric that is part of the ubicomp discourse. In this exhibit a moving city bench ruthlessly kicks off its users after its built in sensors and algorithms have determined the allotted quota of leisure time has expired, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. Now who exactly evicts the unsuspecting stroller from his lunch spot. The bench. Its programmer. The larger assemblages and discourses in which norms about appropriated city behavior are determined and encoded into the software, order VENTOLIN from mexican pharmacy. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Is the bench - in the words of Bruno Latour - a mere intermediary that passes on rules and information that are shaped elsewhere. Or is it a mediator, an element that plays an active role in the constitution of those norms and values?
A second and related philosophical field that Toward the Sentient City addresses is that of epistemology. Does the information gathered by the sensors in the sentient city lead to new ways of gathering knowledge and new insights. VENTOLIN from canadian pharmacy, The exhibit Trash Track by MIT's Senseable City Lab actively addresses this question. For this exhibit, trash items such as paper cups are tagged with a gps-device and mobile phone chip. After it has been disposed of, the item sends text messages with its location, so we can follow its track from recipient to waste disposal site, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. The hope expressed through this project is that knowing will lead to a change in doing: the fact that we know where our trash ends up should make us more aware of the problem we create by throwing things away.
Now, what is at stake epistemologically is not just a newly gained knowledge on the whereabouts of our lost keys, buy generic VENTOLIN, runaway dog or thrown away coffee cup that will make life somewhat more (dis)comfortable and may lead us to behave differently. What indeed is new is the fact that data from many different sentient sources can be aggregated in real time and give us a grasp of what is happening in the city that we never have had before. Elsewhere Anthony Townsend (who has contributed to this exhibition with the project Breakout!) has argued that this shift in perception is comparable to the introduction of aerial photography. VENTOLIN gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, I quote at length:
'if aerial photography showed us the muscular and skeletal structure of the city, the revolution in urban informatics is likely to reveal it's circulatory and nervous systems. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, I like to call this vision the "real-time-city" because for the first time we'll see cities as a whole the way biologists see a cell – instantaneously and in excruciating detail but also alive. … and as these capabilities become more widespread, the real-time city could become a place where everyone is an amateur urban planner, using urban informatics to understand the larger impacts of their everyday decisions, VENTOLIN recreational. That, so fundamental a shift in our perception of our civilization seems to be something worth working towards' [4]
This new ways of gaining knowledge about the city may have huge consequences for the way we perceive and act in the city, and Townsend even sees opportunities for democratization.
Yet could it also lead - if you will allow me another detour, Online VENTOLIN without a prescription, this time through the work of Jane Jacobs - to a new form of architectural hubris. In the early 1960s Jacobs pronounced the ideology of modernist architecture dead on the ground that they had reduced urban life to too simple a formula. From their Olympian vantage point modernist planners had thought that they could calculate the exact needs of a population based on a handful of variables. Take the population number, divide it by a health rate and you get the number of hospitals needed per square mile, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. The problem, Jacobs argues, VENTOLIN without prescription, is that modernists understood cities as problems in disorganized complexity, whereas they are problems in organized complexity - meaning that every change in a single variable doesn't only change the outcome, but also directly influences the other variables at work. VENTOLIN treatment, The 'health rate' in this example is not a static given but dependent on many other variables: the number of parks, the means of transport, diet, etc. And all those variables are intricately related tot the value of other variables, about VENTOLIN. Ville Radieuse, Jacobs claimed, was the 'triumph of mathematical average'. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Instead she argued we should think of the city as a 'process', and to understand the processes at work urbanists should look for the catalysts that speed-up or slow down social processes in the city. VENTOLIN used for, Their tool being the microscope rather than the telescope.
Now, I wonder what would Jacobs make of the urban information systems that for instance have come out of the Senseable City Lab. Would she embrace them as illustrations of the organized complexity of the city. Can we now finally take in all the variables at work. And if so, VENTOLIN price, can we base our planning practices on this new found knowledge - also by reacting in real time to changing conditions. Or would she still be suspicious of the data, finding it too abstract to act upon, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. After all the many data streams we now have may reveal quantitative aspects of urban conditions, but what do they teach us about the qualitative experience people have of them?
Let us now leave the d-tour and turn back to the main path: the third and last stage of our philosophical quest. VENTOLIN brand name, If indeed the sentient city produces new ways of thinking about ourselves and a new type of knowledge, the question that remains is an ethical one: to what aim do we apply these new found insights. Again, Toward the Sentient City proposes alternative trajectories to some of the dominant developments in this domain. Many sentient city applications that are currently in development have an implicit idea of the city as a collection of services and infrastructures to be managed as efficiently as possible, where can i buy VENTOLIN online. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Alternatively they offer personalized versions of the city through search and discovery devices. Other initiatives depart from control and security-issues: they use sentient technology to prevent potential unrest or allow or deny access to certain users. Combined, in a dystopian scenario, these appropriations of the technology might contribute to what Belgium Philosopher Lieven de Cauter has called a 'capsular society' - a city of privatized capsules with different functions - dwelling, shopping, consuming accessible only to those with the right rfid-chip in their wallet.
Are alternative trajectories thinkable. Yes, Toward the Sentient City states. The projects Breakout. and Natural Fuse propose alternative ways of thinking about urban culture.
Breakout, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. addresses the issue of the urban public sphere. The project problematizes the public sphere as a sphere that only comes into being if urbanites actively engage with the space and with each other. It is not just a space that is pronounced as such by a city government. So how can the urban public sphere be animated in an interesting way. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, And by whom. How can we as urbanites take responsibility for it. How can we turn public spaces in the city in an inspiring meeting place, by means of grassroots organizational tactics. Break Out provides urbanites a toolset that addresses this question from the perspective of organized work. The project wants to promote exchange and cooperation between workers in the city by claiming public spaces in the city as an office and by providing structures to organize meet-ups and brain storming sessions for urban creatives.
Natural Fuse addresses the idea of the city as a commons - a space and resource shared by and accessible to all its citizens. The idea of the commons is based on the old British custom of the communal pasture where all herdsmen in the community were allowed to graze their cattle, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. The drawback of such a system is that it is prone to self-destruction, a process that Garett Hardin has labeled The Tragedy of the Commons. As he writes ...
the rational herdsman concludes that the only sensible course for him to pursue is to add another animal to his herd. And another.... But this is the conclusion reached by each and every rational herdsman sharing a commons. BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit -- in a world that is limited.
When every herdsman keeps on adding cattle, the commons soon will be overgrazed, and no one will be able to benefit from it any longer. Close personal social ties or traditions could perhaps keep the rational herdsman from prioritizing the appraisal of his individual benefit and from adding too many cattle. However in a modern society that has done away with traditional role-patterns and depends on more abstract interdependencies, such social restrictions seem much harder to enforce.[5]
The concept of a commons thus assumes cooperation and mutual accommodation. Could Sentient Technology play a role in the allocation of limited resources between citizens. Could it lead to the emergence of some sort of peer-to-peer governance model, that could prevent overusage of scarce resources, BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION. This is the question that Natural Fuse addresses. This project consists of a city wide network of plants that are linked to electric devices. The central idea is that the CO2-digestion of the plants in the network offsets the CO2 emissions caused by the use of the electric appliances. Each individual chooses whether he wants to be selfless (conserve electricity) or greedy (use electricity). BUY VENTOLIN NO PRESCRIPTION, However, when the total consumption of electricity in the system surpasses its CO2-absorption capacity, the system will actively start to kill the plants.
Natural Fuse thus beautifully illustrates the problem of the tragedy of the commons and it challenges our thinking about the viability of a networked urban commons. Yet it does not provide any definite answers: Would creating awareness through direct feedback mechanisms about the impact of rational selfish behavior be able to prevent it. Or would we rather need complex reputation systems. Or perhaps bookkeeping systems in which our allotted ratios are kept or traded. Can we do this through peer-to-peer technologies, or do we need central institutions that act as trusted third parties?
Toward the Sentient City thus doesn't give us any emphatic leads about which way the technology will take us. It succeeds in bringing up many important questions and diverting the discussion on the sentient city from a path of technological determinism to an open ended affair, a concern not just for engineers, planners and architects but for all of us.

VH1 hasn't seen the last of Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey is accused of being sneaky, and Lana Del Rey teases a clip just ahead of the release of her new album.
- Chris Brown's Hollywood Hills home — the one he infamously covered in graffiti — is now being sold. Now that Breezy has a new lease on life, he's been able to drop not only one, but two expensive properties from his balance sheet. In addition to the house, the singer has just finalized the sale of a West Hollywood condo. We figure he has other homes, but is Chris scaling back his expenses to lead a simpler life? [TMZ]

Mind Munch-ease
Most of us know that losing weight has as much to do with our minds as our eating habits. And one of the most common ways we sabotage our own goals is by convincing ourselves that we can't achieve them, instead of that we can. We blame our environment, our genes or our lifestyles, and we end up making countless excuses rather than simple changes.
That's where Mind Munchies fits in.
The 51-pack of cards takes each thought, emotion, habit or environmental cue we use as an excuse and quite literally, turns it around!
Every negative is replaced with its opposite: a positive, affirming and empowering statement that puts you right back in control and leaves no more room for excuses!
How Mind Munch-ease work:
With the excuses on one side and the 'flip side' on the reverse, using the cards couldn't be easier! Just pick an excuse from the pack (ie: I can't lose weight because I have a slow metabolism) read it, and then turn the card over to find the alternative mind-set. With enough use, you'll turn all the old excuses into new, positive habits – and you'll be well on your way to a healthier you.

Blog post
Explaining the Country's Worst Rental Market
Some years ago I spent a day canvassing on behalf of a city council candidate with whom I was friendly. At dusk, I traded my leftover door hangers for an armload of lawn signs. I brought them home and quite pathetically propped one up in the courtyard of my building, next to my front door.
My shortage of lawn was only mildly absurd. What really troubled me, despite my fondness for the candidate, was the message: "Another Family for Flora."
And there you have almost everything you need to know about land use politics in Los Angeles.
I didn't exactly qualify as a "family." Like hundreds of thousands of other Angelenos, I lived alone, with occasional flatmates. I routinely equated dinner with Trader Joe's frozen burritos and the inattentive company of Tom Brokaw. I cared about schools only as a general public good and would have welcomed a few more bars, and a few fewer hair salons, in my neighborhood. But what the neighborhood—and all of West Los Angeles really needed—were apartments. Lots of them.
As an editor of The Planning Report, I regularly ran across a harrowing claim: Los Angeles County was short 280,000 housing units. That statistic was propagated, on a nearly weekly basis, by the local Building Industry Association (whose director we interviewed). So, it's to be taken with some skepticism. But not 280,000 units of skepticism.
This was back in the mid-2000s. Of those two city council candidates, none discussed this shortage and none seemed to eager to promote the production of rental housing. The candidate who won, Bill Rosendahl, championed the preservation of rental stock. Once in office, he supported rent control and legislated against the conversion of rental apartments to condominiums. Rosendahl was avuncular to a fault, and renters were "his people." But, he apparently had all the "people" he needed.
A full ten years later, the residents of Los Angeles—families and otherwise—have even fewer suitable places to rest their heads. That's because city whose politics is dominated by homeowners is often incapable of promoting housing for renters.
A UCLA study released this summer contends—probably to the astonishment of baristas in San Francisco and assistants at publishing houses in New York City—that Los Angeles is the least affordable rental market in the country. The study calculates affordability as a function of average incomes, average rents, and the percentage of the former consumed by the latter.
The numbers are enough to make you want to move someplace easier and cheaper. Like, Monaco, Montecito, or Tokyo, maybe. It found the following:
- As of 2013, on average, renters in Los Angeles are paying 47 percent of their income for rent (median rents in the county are $1,473).
- Los Angeles has the highest median rent burden in the nation—at 47 percent.
- Burdens among the bottom quintile have "gone from bad to worse."
- Los Angeles has relatively fewer publicly subsidized units and weaker rent control.
- Finally, "Los Angeles is the metro area with the largest share of renters vs. homeowners: While U.S. rentership has fluctuated around 35 percent, Los Angeles is at 52 percent."
Distressingly, the study notes that the extreme rent burden is as much a function of incomes as of housing supply: "Los Angeles has a lower median household income than comparable cities such as New York or San Francisco." But, make no mistake, housing supply is in crisis every bit as much as wages are.
The study contends, "the city needs to produce roughly 5,300 units per year that are affordable to moderate-incomes or below. Los Angeles has instead averaged roughly 1,100 units per year since 2006." Those 5,300 annual units square all too well with the 280,000 that we were short countywide seven years ago.
(This week Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced an initiative to promote the development of over 100,000 housing units in the city by 2021. This blog was drafted prior to that announcement. We will see how it goes.)
The UCLA study does a lot of data-crunching. It does not, however, try to explain the underlying reasons for this crisis. I don't blame the authors. It's a mess.
Los Angeles isn't short of housing because of the names on those lawn signs, regardless of who won or lost. The signs don't divide this city. The lawns do.
You don't have to be Howard Zinn to know that homeowners hold political clout in cities. Politicians appeal to homeowners, of detached homes and condos alike, for a few major reasons:
- Stability: They'll be there to vote, year-in, and year-out.
- Engagement: Homeowners know who their public officials are.
- Unity: Homeowners define their interests, and often vote as blocs, because of their homeowners associations.
- Wealth: Duh.
Meanwhile, renters are transient, politically naive, disparate, and, often, poor. In Los Angeles, we're talking about a disastrous constituency that includes, among others, would-be starlets, undocumented immigrants, the chronically poor, and the chronically over-worked. In the March 2012 primary election, Rosendahl's successor (and former chief of staff) Mike Bonin won with just over 22,000 votes—in a council district with 283,000 residents.
The Los Angeles turnout crisis is making headlines and inspiring studies. One of the findings of the Pat Brown Institute's 2013 election post-mortem: "Older voters and homeowners are disproportionately represented in mayoral voting." Imagine how few show up for a mere council seat.
So, the politicians have ever reason to appeal to, and appease, homeowners. But that's just one half of the equation. The other half entails the particular bidding that they are asked to do.
In the second half of the 20th century, Los Angeles' single-family homes gave way to small "dingbat" apartment buildings by the thousands, thus creating our awful pattern of high-density living on streets and in neighborhoods that were designed to be suburban. But at least we had housing.
The stucco dried on the last dingbat decades ago. Today, houses get converted to multifamily (usually condos) only where longstanding zoning laws allow it. High-rises that you'd trip over in Sao Paulo or Shanghai draw lavish ribbon-cuttings and excited blog posts here, but that's because they're few and costly.
Typical reasons for opposing high-density housing center on notions of "neighborhood character." Whatever neighbors' particularly concerns are, the message they send to politicians and planners is, "do not upzone. Do not grant that variance. Do not promote the use of density bonuses, and find any loopholes you can to resist them. Parking, parking, parking."
And then there are scholars, like Joel Kotkin, who promote single-family suburbia and have deemed high densities to be "unbecoming" of Los Angeles. I can think of a lot of things that are a lot more "unbecoming." Spending every last dime for a roof over my head is one of them.
Whether they like it or not, the politicians and planners comply all too often. How else would you account for such a profound shortage of units, amid rising prices, in a country that considers itself a free-market economy? Especially when rental housing is the hottest typology in the country right now.
Here are a few examples of high-density projects (both for rental and for sale) that have been scuttled or constrained from a few mile radius of where I live:
- A rental building that was supposed to have been 20-plus stories was just completed with eight stories.
- Hundreds of units of housing was quietly proposed for the site of a car dealership, which currently generates plenty of traffic. I haven't heard a peep from it in months.
- Homeowners groups in Santa Monica have routinely supported policies and even ballot measures to stifle growth, even though much of the city's traffic comes from workers who drive in from elsewhere because they can't find housing near their jobs.
Other stories are here, here, here, and an analysis here.
Surely, homeowners are entitled to worry about traffic, sight lines, city services, and all the rest. What I suspect, though, is that many homeowners really want to do is what any rational, self-interested actor would want when he or she owns a valuable asset. They want to constrain supply.
Arguments over neighborhood character play well at public hearings. No one will ever admit to being motivated by the crudest manifestation of microeconomics, but here are the facts:
- In a desirable, geographically constrained jurisdiction, the less supply there is, the more valuable each unit becomes.
That's it. Just one fact.
For all the macroeconomic benefits they would bring, the more units renters have to choose from, the less they pay. The less they pay, the less likely they are to ever want to buy a home. The less they want to buy a home, the less each home is worth, on the margin. So, homeowners have every reason to oppose the addition of rental properties. At the very least, they have no incentive to support them.
Homeowners need not worry so much about competition from new for-sale homes. The only new homes in Los Angeles get built on top of, and usually improve upon, old ones. Condos that displace rental units tend to be relatively more expensive, and less dense. And, of course, apartments hold no intrinsic appeal for homeowners, since no one ever wants to trade down.
This pattern is rare on the national level. Plenty of other cities are building like crazy. Most of those cities, like Denver and Houston, enjoy abundant vacant land.
Among its built-out, high-priced peers, New York City is already hyper-dense, so it's harder to build anything. San Francisco and D.C. are more geographically constrained than Los Angeles is. All three are significantly more dense than Los Angele. Los Angeles has could easily up its game in appropriate places, especially major boulevards and transit corridors, but for this perverse economic rivalry among owners and renters.
I wish I knew how to solve this problem.
Public housing and subsidies are crucial, for sure. But they are costly, complex, and solve only a fraction of the problem. This city needs greater supply, period. And it needs it from the source that has always created housing here: private developers. Those developers need to be built responsibly, of course, but they deserve far more support than they're getting.
If all renters got off the futon and out of the second bedroom, to donate their tip money to candidates who served their interest and to cast their votes accordingly, our city would look radically different. And for the better. People who rent apartments aren't setting up drug empires or plotting to abduct children. They want to work. They want to get a beer. They want to buy stuff at stores down the block and fall in love with the girl or guy around the corner.
They just don't want to buy your house. But your house is gong to be just fine. What's not fine: four people in a two-bedroom apartment, each paying half a month's wages for a bed. Imagine how Los Angeles would prosper if even a fraction of that 47 percent rent burden was liberated to be spent on other things.
That's why if everyone in Los Angeles had a decent place to live, those home values would still do all right. If a city economy does well and all residents prosper, some of those residents might make enough money to—guess what?—buy houses. We just have to see cities as the vast, amazing entities that they are, and not enemy territories that start just the other side of a homeowner's property line. That's the message of that UCLA study.
Now is as good a time as any to acknowledge this truth—and to start working toward a grander vision of how we live and prosper in Los Angeles. I don't mind it when a cranky homeowner tells some kids to get off his lawn. But I do mind it when that same homeowner would, however unwittingly, deny them—singles and families alike—decent places to live.
We need hundreds of thousands of units. And, anyway, we're in a drought. There's never been a better time to stop caring so much about our lawns and start caring more about each other.

life in the Kearsarge areawhat's happening in the Kearsarge/Lake Sunapee area of NH
Archive for summer
Eastman Lake
My parents moved to Grantham, N.H., in 1986, so, technically, I did, too. I left for college, then grad school, then came back to buy my own home in Grantham in 1997 (and later a different one in 2002). It's a nice halfway point between the Upper Valley (Lebanon/Hanover) and Concord. There's a lot to do – you can golf, cross country ski, hike, swim and rent paddle boats, canoes and these new big wheeled things. And when you leave the traffic and steaming asphalt of the larger towns to see the views of the rolling hills and lake, it feels like you've escaped, you've gone on vacation, but really you've just come home.
More summer in NH
Still doodling around town with my camera/phone. Here's a big ole tree in Sutton Mills.
Here's a view of Sutton Mills. Just beyond the trees there's an old dam that used to power the mills. I scared away a big heron (it scared me, too, so no photo this time).
The dock photo is of Pleasant Lake from Elkins, NH. And the kayaking photo was taken on Lake Sunapee from the state park beach.
Make sure you get outside and enjoy all that summer has to offer!
Summer in NH
Here I am, walking lakeside in North Sutton. Cell phone in hand, I snap a few photos of Kezar Lake, the dam and Wadleigh State Park.
It's what I do most summers. I have time after dropping the kids off at their respective camps. I don't particularly want to haul my laptop with me, so I take photos for Facebook, Pinterest and my enjoyment. I'll include a few here to get you in the summer mood.

Every summer Kearsarge Magazine has a dining guide. Some years I ask local restaurants for recipes, some years I ask businesses, some years neighbors and friends. This year, we went into the historical archives – church cookbooks, town offices and historical societies – and shared a few recipes. This one, Sunapee Spinach Squares, was super good. Pick up the summer 2016 issue of Kearsarge Magazine if you're interested in reading a few more!
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 lb. cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 10 oz. packages frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 tbsp. chopped onion
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 pan and melt in oven. Remove. Beat eggs well. Blend in flour, milk, salt and baking powder. Add cheese, spinach and onion. Mix well. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Bake 35 minutes. Remove and cool 45 minutes. Cut into 1-inch squares. Freezes well.
This recipe comes from longtime resident Midge Cross, and is familiar around the Lake Sunapee region as a favorite intermission treat at Summer Music Associates concerts. It is published in Abbott Library's A Taste of Sunapee Cookbook, a fundraiser cookbook that contains many well-loved local culinary contributions.

Government Drug Trial Database In The Future?
wordy1 writes "The NY Times (registration required) reports: Merck, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, says it supports the idea of a government-run database that
that would keep track of all late-stage clinical drug trials from start to finish. The position by Merck, which the company disclosed in an interview yesterday, is apparently the first major sign of pharmaceutical industry support for such a comprehensive database. Doctors' groups and medical journal publishers have lately called for such a database - or trial registry, as it is also termed - to make it easier to track the results of drug trials. Under the current system of trials, which are typically financed by drug makers, results unfavorable to the companies may never be widely circulated."

Today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a new commercial fisheries policy: Catch shares for everyone. That means giving fishermen individual shares of fish to catch when they please and to manage for maximum profit. The idea is to relieve the pressure they're currently under to catch more fish faster, which many current fishery management plans inadvertently reward.
Proponents of catch share programs, including Environmental Defense Fund, say they reduce overfishing, improve fishermen's safety and profits, and reduce the negative environmental and economic effects of the race for fish.
The catch share idea isn't new – there are 14 U.S. fisheries being managed this way already – but building a national policy around it is. NOAA chief Jane Lubchenco has been paying lip service to the idea for awhile now, as the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery gets its catch-share program underway. Here's what she said today:
"Catch share programs have proven to be powerful tools to transform fisheries, making them prosperous, stable and sustainable parts of our nation's strategy for healthy and resilient ocean ecosystems. NOAA's policy encourages fishery management councils and stakeholders to explore the design possibilities of catch shares to tailor programs to best meet local needs."
Steve Bodnar, the executive director of the Coos Bay Trawler Association, has been working with the Pacific Fishery Management Council to help develop the groundfish trawl fishery program. Here's what he said about the catch-share policy:
"We're on the edge of doing something great. This program is opening up communication between fishermen who were used to working alone. We're going to swap quota to keep as many boats on the water in order to keep our port whole. We'll also work together to share resources, to develop gear that will avoid fish that are not as abundant and catch the healthier stocks, and to market our catch to help consumers support local fishermen. By working together, we will survive."
That's a pretty optimistic outlook for a fisherman, wouldn't you say? Not everyone is quite so enthused. In fact, just last week, several groups of small-boat fishermen sued the U.S. Department of Commerce saying the groundfish trawl catch-share violates existing fisheries law. One of their complaints is that the method being employed to make fisheries more sustainable essentially puts some fishermen out of business and concentrate ownership shares into fewer hands. That isn't necessarily going to be good for fishing communities, they say.
Other groundfish fishermen have been irked by the way the quota has been allocated. The Pacific Fishery Management Council took stock of how much fish each boat had caught over certain years and used that data to divvy up shares of more than 80 different species of groundfish. But some species are a lot more valuable than others in the marketplace, like black cod/sablefish, and others are running low, like the canary rockfish. Suddenly, the number of canary rockfish you caught in the past could determine how much money you make next year. So, there's plenty for fishermen to gripe about. But the truth is they were griping already.
Despite the many complications of designing a catch-share program, a survey by the Oregon Trawl Commission found about 70 percent of their membership supports the idea as an alternative to the hassles of the current two-month catch limit rules. Even fishermen who are selling out because they didn't get enough quota to keep their business going are glad to have something to sell. Another complaint about catch shares is that they privatize public resources. What do you think about that argument?

Soft over-molded handle provides a comfortable grip so you could use it all day if you wanted. This also makes it extremely durable so if you're running a car wash, it's the one you want for your crew.
Finishing Towel: The One Pass waffle pattern finishing towel is the perfect compliment to the Waterblade product line. We make this one with the thickest waffle pattern microfiber material available and cut it large so you can finish the job with a single towel.

The health risks of tobacco are well known, but kids and teens continue to smoke and use chewing tobacco. Many young people pick up these habits every year — in fact, 90% of all adult smokers started when they were kids.
So it's important to make sure kids understand the dangers of tobacco use. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States, and can cause cancer, heart disease, and lung disease. Chewing tobacco (smokeless or spit tobacco) can lead to nicotine addiction, oral cancer, gum disease, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks.
Giving kids information about the risks of smoking and chewing tobacco, and establishing clear rules and your reasons for them, can help protect them from these unhealthy habits.
You also should know the warning signs of tobacco use and constructive ways to help someone kick the habit.
One of the major problems with smoking and chewing tobacco has to do with the chemical nicotine. Someone can get addicted to nicotine within days of first using it. In fact, the nicotine in tobacco can be as addictive as cocaine or heroine. Nicotine affects mood as well as the heart, lungs, stomach, and nervous system.
Other health risks include short-term effects of smoking such as coughing and throat irritation. Over time, more serious conditions may develop, including increases in heart rate and blood pressure, bronchitis, and emphysema.
Finally, numerous studies indicate that young smokers are more likely to experiment with marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or other illicit drugs.
Kids might be drawn to smoking and chewing tobacco for any number of reasons — to look cool, act older, lose weight, win cool merchandise, seem tough, or feel independent.
But parents can combat those draws and keep kids from trying — and getting addicted to — tobacco. Establish a good foundation of communication with your kids early on to make it easier to work through tricky issues like tobacco use.
To help prevent your kids from using tobacco, keep these guidelines in mind:
If you smell smoke on your child's clothing, try not to overreact. Ask about it first — maybe he or she has been hanging around with friends who smoke or just tried one cigarette. Many kids do try a cigarette at one time or another but don't go on to become regular smokers.
Additional signs of tobacco use include:
Sometimes even the best foundation isn't enough to stop kids from experimenting with tobacco. It may be tempting to get angry, but it's more productive to focus on communicating with your child.
Here are some tips that may help:
Kids are quick to observe any contradiction between what their parents say and what they do. Despite what you might think, most kids say that the adult whom they most want to be like when they grow up is a parent.
If you're a smoker:

Scotland gets record number of tourists 'because of the low terror risk'
The number of tourists visiting paid-for attractions in the country rose by 3.8 million - 20 per cent more than last year
SCOTLAND has seen record numbers of tourists visiting this year – with an increase in visitors to paid-for attractions going up by 20 per cent to 3.8 million.
Tourism experts reckon the sudden rise in the country's popularity is partly down to a low risk of terrorism.
They say that concerns about terror attacks in other popular destinations like London and Paris means many holidaymakers are looking for safer alternatives.
It is also experiencing a boost from the falling value of the pound post-Brexit, meaning tourists
have more spending money.
In addition, the country has been tipped by numerous travel guides as a place to visit in 2017 and 2018.
Just last month, travel publication Rough Guide named Scotland the Most Beautiful Country in the World.
Whether they are there to trace their ancestry, soak up culture at Edinburgh Festival, hike one
of the 283 Munro mountains or sip whisky in the Highlands, there is plenty to entertain visitors.
Edinburgh Castle proved the biggest draw with 1,433,896 day trippers since April, up 20 per cent
on last season.
Stirling Castle was second top after pulling in 430,405 tourists, followed by Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness with 405,388.
A further 13 sites have already smashed their entire 2016 ticket sales, with admissions up by a fifth overall, Historic Environment Scotland said.
August 2017 saw over 870,000 visitors flocking to Scotland's iconic historic sites, making it the busiest individual month ever recorded.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop added: "We continue to attract millions from far and wide to our world-class attractions."

Shane Jones' fingertips might be full of magic. Don't you think? Like, maybe his keyboard lights up a little bit every time he types up a story. Or even better, when he plays cat's cradle the yarn turns into a beam of light. Look at the magic he's woven over at Elimae:
During her best games of Horses Hologram, Mom produces eight individual holograms in eight beams of light, her hand contorted in a new symbol. The highest crystal nearly touches the ceiling, grazes corner cobwebs. The lowest hovers, flickers, near her ear, and once she tilted her head and half the crystal, part of the yellow beam, disappeared inside her hair.
