Be More With Less Update
There are a few things that have been going on here at Be more with less that require an update. I also have a few great blog recommendations for you!
Zen Laundry – I am still hanging my clothes outside. It this August heat, the clothes are almost dry before I finish hanging them up! Any tips for air-drying towels? Mine always end up a little crunchy!
Monday is day 40 of my dairy free challenge – A little over a month ago I posted this anti-milk blog and committed to 40 days without dairy. The challenge was a breeze, although I haven't noticed a ton of health benefits yet. I attribute this to one of two things. Either I wasn't consuming enough dairy to begin with, or I haven't been without long enough.
TV free – At the beginning of July, I canceled the cable and have been living a TV free life ever since. Now that it's been more than a month, I can honestly say, that I can't imagine going back. I don't miss the cable bill. I don't miss the wasted time and I don't miss any of my favorite TV shows. We do watch movies as a family, but it is very deliberate and enjoyable instead of mindless and numbing.
My cosmetic obsession – I took a little heat for showing off my very un-minimalistic make-up collection. It has been just over a month since I pledged to not purchase any cosmetics and to stay away from make-up counters. I am happy to report, that even though we have a brand new Sephora in town, I have not stepped foot in the store. I haven't perused any make-up counters, or websites and have not purchased a single thing.
Stop checking email – This has been the most challenging task for me. I typically start the week strong, only checking email two times a day and by the end of the week, I am peeking at my iphone several times a day. I am considering (although not committing) turning off the email access on the iphone for a week or two to see if that helps.
The Chia Chronicles - I am still creating chia goodness in my kitchen with the help of Fuel Your Run the Tarahumara Way and will be posting more recipe reviews soon!
Car free day – At the end of June, I committed to drive less. Since then, one day a week, my car stays in the garage!
Fashion project – This week, Project 333 was born! Many of you want to join the challenge to go 3 months wearing only 33 items, including shoes, clothing and accessories. I am thinking about a way that we can all interact during this process sharing images, lists and tips. Stay tuned and suggestions are welcome!
My first interview – Hulbert Lee interviewed me for a minimalism series along with other minimalists that have inspired me. Even though Hulbert introduced me as a teenage mom instead of a mother of a teenager, I really enjoyed working with him!
If you have taken on any of these challenges, attempted a mini-mission or started a project of your own, please leave a comment!

You should def turn off the email on the iPhone! I recently got rid of my smart phone and loving not having that nagging feeling that I can 'plugin' when ever I want.

Is it not possible that the anti-dairy propaganda is overblown?
Courtney, you've been up to so much and seem really focused on your goals. That's wonderful to see. Thank you for the great update, the kind mention and I look forward to exploring all of your great resources. Dairy free, I've got to get that part of my act together. Great inspiration!
I'm not sure how I found bemorewithless, but since I did a month or so ago, I've been enjoying what you post. I took the more with less challenge to a whole new level three years ago. I sent everything I owned off to auction, I quit my job, sold my house and moved to the Island of Roatan, in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Honduras. Now you are probably thinking, I must be rich to do that. Believe me I'm not! By North American standards I live well below the poverty-line…but that's okay by me. I don't need or want much stuff. To specifically compare what I mean to this posting the following is true for me. Laundry – my dryer is a line stretched out on my back porch. Anti-dairy – milk curdles very quickly with the heat here and I rarely can get the cheese I like. TV free – I admit I still watch some. My excuse is that's how I learn Spanish, most every show has sub-titles. Cosmetics – None, impossible to keep it from running off my face, no need for skin cream, fragrances attract mosquitoes. Emails – Hanging on to that one, it's my connection to "the real world." Chia – Limited what can be purchased in grocery stores, following a recipe not so easy. Learning how to improvise with lots of free fruit and veg. Car – Can't go very far, not a problem. Fashion project – 2 pairs of flip-flops, 3 shorts, 6 tank tops, 2 bathing suits, 2 sun dresses, a floppy hat, no watch, no jewelry (except wedding band)or accessories. Oh and one belt…I've lost weight eating mostly fruit and veggies. Waste to have more clothes than that on a tropical Island – they would just get moldy.
Courtney, thanks for sharing your progress on these projects! It's always inspiring to hear where others are on their path. I'm trying to eat vegan now as well, and I'm loving it!
Hey Courtney — I'm glad to see that you are out there rocking it out with your goals! I know firsthand that setting goals and following through isn't always EASY, but 95% of the time it's definitely worth it. I am wondering why you don't want to check email on your phone? I guess the question comes down to how often do you usually check it per day? Maybe you can keep the email option on — but permit yourself a certain time of day to check your emails.
Hi Courtney, I enjoyed reading this update of yours, and thanks for making that correction for me too. Teenage mom… mother of a teenager… they're all the same… right? Haha just kidding. Have a good weekend!
Love this update, Courtney! Thanks for the link love. I am totally joining you with the driving less mission next week. You'd think working from home now that I could drive even less than that … but I end up running errands or finding a reason to get out everyday.
Next week – two days in park. Thanks for the inspiration.
I loved reading this. You have such energy and passion regarding what matters to you and it is really inspiring to take note of all the amazing changes you are making. Bravo!
Hi Courtney,
this is my first visit to your lovely site. i found you thru the alist club. i think i have a favorite new place to visit. i'm off to read some more. but i wanted to congratulate you on all you have accomplished.
sooo exciting. i'm working on simplifying my cluttered life/studio… gosh it's hard to let go of art supplies though. i love them.
so happy to have found you. xxo, kim
I just found your blog via twitter #minimalist. I've just started on my journey and am having so much fun! I have given away nearly all my clothes. (I can now name every clothing item I own by memory without looking ) I have only been actively getting rid of stuff for just over a week, but already feel lighter, happier and can think clearer. It's fantastic.
Oh, and I haven't watched tv for a few years. I don't know how I ever had the time now.
Anyway….I came to say that here in New Zealand it's normal to air dry our washing…some people use a dryer in winter though. Anyway…to prevent crunchy towels, you can give them a scrunch mid drying process i.e. move them around a bit. Or, you can add a little vinegar to the rinse cycle. It's a natural softener.
Hi, Courtney. What's great about this post is your transparency — sharing not only what you're doing to walk the talk, but keeping it real with updates. Wonderful authenticity in action! (And a good reminder to all of us :))
Thanks for the mention. I'm so glad to have you as a reader of The New Pursuit and that you find enough value to share! Be well!
Hi Courtney. I was diagnosed with MS myself 10 years ago. I'm really into the diet aspect now and follow the one suggested by Prof George Jelinek (search for him and you'll find him). He writes persuasively and talks about the toxicity of the proteins in cows' milk to the human nervous system, so I think you are doing exactly the right thing ! I've been following his suggested diet (dairy free) for 18 months and whilst I've had one relapse, I can really feel the difference – and I've lost 2 stone ! I wish I had the courage you have shown on your blogs. If you can do all that you do, I'm sure you can manage not to eat dairy produce ! Maybe it is out of proportion. Maybe it isn't. I know I don't want to be sitting in a wheel chair in 5 years time though, thinking "well, I can't walk anymore … but at least I can still eat cheese …". Why risk it, if you see what I mean !
Hi! Love your site!
I recently pared down my wardrobe to a grand total of 20 items of clothing, plus 2 sets of gym clothes, 2 swimsuits, 3 winter coverings (long coat, jacket, cape), and a small box of accessories (scarves, hair accessories, jewelry). I have really worked to make everything mix-and-matchable. OH, and shoes are down to the following: Winter snow boots; dress boots; heels; flats (both black); 2 pair of sandals; sneakers; flip flops. I am about to move to a much smaller place, have already spent a significant amount of time living out of a carry-on while on the road through Europe and Asia, as well as six months traveling across the US with my sons. So….I think I may have this mix of clothing just right. So…it is do-able! We'll see how I feel six months from now. I DID make sure I only kept high-quality clothing that can stand up to a lot of washing without fading, etc. I think that is the most important element to a limited wardrobe.
I am also about to embark on a minimalist kitchen experiment. My site for it is officially launching at the end of the week at http://www.30thingskitchen.com I have already eliminated most kitchen gadgets (successfully!). Now in this experiment, I am going to go 30 days with only 30 food items in my kitchen (coffee, spices, everything included!!!). The goal is to get great variety, nutritious meals, and a simple, stream-lined kitchen/shopping trip (and cutting expenses, unhealthy food, etc, in the process). I'm pretty excited about the prospect. I'm inviting others to join me. The site will be set up so they can post their own blog entries, and I hope they include their 30 food items list, recipes they find successful, and how they feel about this process. I'm SO curious to see how the experiment turns out. Maybe you would even like to join in While the site is launching at the end of this week, the experiment itself begins in October, giving everyone enough time to eat through what is in their kitchen now, and to prepare their 30 things list.
Anyhow, keep us posted on the wardrobe challenge….I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes
Again, thanks for the great site!
Create an amazing day for yourself,
Laura Saba

Just picked up a six pack of Springboard at M&R Liquor in Carpinteria, CA USA and boy am I glad I did! Good good stuff! It's got a pale, hazy yellow body with not much of a head. The nose has a strong lemon scent. You'd expect a sharply sour acidic taste from the smell of it, but the flavor, while being heavy on the citrus side is not sharp or bitter at all. It's very smooth, like a grapefruit juice without the bitter tangy taste. Goes down super easy. Nice clean, crisp, refreshing drink. Great for the summer!

3.91/5 rDev +11.4%
A: a slightly hazy, light-golden ale with a long lasting white head made of rocky bubbles. You'll get a lot more haze if you roll the bottle
S: There is a distinct aroma that lets you know it was brewed with a spice or herb but it's not readily identifiable, sitting somewhere around rosemary mixed with allspice. There is a low spicy hop aroma. In the background there is a slight sulfur note like when chilies are added to a beer without the fruity pepper note.
T: A soft, light malt sweetness with a moderate spice flavor, again hard to a finger on it but it's slightly peppery and bitter. There is also a light fruitiness to the beer that is more than just yeast derived and just enough to notice. There is a medium-low hops bitterness with a low, spicy hops flavor. The balance is slightly bitter with a finish that is off-dry. The aftertaste is of a light spice and a citrusy and berry fruitiness.
M: A cream, medium bodied beer with a slightly thick viscous feel from the oats.
O: An enjoyable beer great for a cool Spring night or to refresh after an early season ride. I like the balance on the spice and fruit additions, there is enough to let you know it's there but not so much that it obscures the underling beer

A friend brought this by and was interested after reading the label with the extra spicing and the aging in oak.
A-Golden color, reminded me of "sparkling" beverages with the amount of carbonation and the bright color
S-WormWwod smell, and some fruity scents, Almost smells bitter in the nose
T-Kind of generic pilsner like flavor of malt(not bready thought) with extra spices/fruit on top. These "spices" gave a bitter taste to the beer and something that I can't describe. It was not good to me and was getting worse as it warmed.
M-Felt good in the mouth being smooth yet carbonated
D-I barely drank this one let one more.
This was aninteresting beer as I think it is a well crafted beer per the appearance and mouthfeel but I didn't care for the flavors they added.

I first tried this beer when it came out in 2007. I came across it again the other night and figured I'd give'er a go - again.
Opened 12 fluid ounce bottle and poured into snifter glass.
Pour is mostly head free with some bubbles and light lace on edges of glass. Brew is a slightly hazy yellow/tan color.
Smell is somewhat sweet/fruity with light floral notes. Taste is slightly herbaceous with nice light hints of hops and botanical hints. Carbonation is pleasant and finish is crisp with no aftertaste.
Good brew.

Pale dark yellow/gold color, some haziness throughout it. Belgian yeast floating around maybe? I dunno, I think all yeast looks similar probably. Minimal head, but good lacing.
Some mild bready notes and fractional amount of lemon to it. Pretty muted aroma wise.
Taste had a bitter and lemony edge, mildly tart, well carbonated. Light body. Has a slight woody presence to it. Didn't come across as hoppy at any point of the tasting experience. Some sweetness to it. Not exactly a flavor bomb, body stays kinda thin throughout, but the bitterness never dies. Some herbal aspect of the beer paired with a soft malt profile.
Just interesting enough. Not gonna go looking for it, but its not a bad beer. Probably meant for drinking in the month of April and May.

Pale cloudy yellow after mixing in the yeast in. I think your suppose to leave the yeast in the bottle with this belgian style, but I want everything in the bottle. 1 1/2" white head with moderate lacing.
Weak aroma with bread and slight citrus.
Tastes about like it smells, not much going on. Citrus, wheat, and some hops coming through.
Crisp and mellow, easy to drink but your "mouth" doesn't "feel" much going on.

12-oz. bottle dated best by 14 July 2013 served in a snifter. Poured a golden-straw color. Hazy with a small and semi-durable white head that leaves a moderate amount of lacing on the sides. Contains schisandra, an unfamiliar herb/berry used in Chinese medicine which I had to look up, and goji berries.
Aroma: Quite fruity, complex, pleasing and refreshing. The fruitiness is unusual, but one of the stronger notes reminded me of raspberry jam. Bready. Yeast and a trace of hops too, but these are more obvious upon tasting.
Taste: Lightly sweet, bitter and tart, but in reverse order (so more tart than sweet). Components are similar to the nose, again with high complexity including oats and lemongrass.
M: medium-light body. Medium, very soft carbonation. Slightly dry and crisp finish.
O: a unique and interesting fruit/herb beer well worth trying. Lots of subtleties in this one.

This beer pours a very pale, straw yellow color, with a thick, fluffy white head, fading slowly, leaving many laces.
This beer smells mildly of spice. I smell some coriander, and some orange peel. It has a zesty citrusy aroma as well. It has an earthy yeast aroma also.
This beer tastes just like it smells. Slightly spicy, with some citrus. It is slightly yeasty. It has a very so slight tart flavor as well. In the finish, I can taste a slight biscuity flavor, the flavor I have come to associate with New Belgium.
This beer is very thin. It has an almost waterlike mouthfeel. It is crisp and refreshing. It leaves a citrusy aftertaste. It is carbonated just right.
I think this beer would make a great session beer. It tastes ok, and not overbearing. Also, it is not high in alcohol.
Overall: I am usually excited to try something new from New Belgium. Since Fat Tire was my gateway beer, I guess I just have some respect for the brewery. I was happy with this one. I will buy it again.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer pours a light hazy pale straw yellow body with a thin film of snow white head. The head sticks to the glass with each sip and has a gentle carbonation supporting it.
S- The light smell of pale malt and raw grain have a dry note to them.
T- This beer has a slight sour hint to the pale malt with a finish of green noble and pine hops. There is a note of Munich malt to the pale malt flavor and a slight spice to the hops. The soft bitterness hangs on a second after each sip. There is a soft pungent flavor to the hops.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel.
D- The flavor is interesting and smooth but there is not really much character. The hops have a nice pungent musty hint that would be nice to taste more of in the finish.

Big full long lasting white head slowly settled into a nice lacing above a hazy light golden colored beer.
A light aroma of citrusy hops, light grains with some added yeastiness.
Similar to the aroma a light citrus fruit taste with light grains and lighter yeast attributes.
This medium bodied beer has a slight dryish aftertaste with a bit of the grain and citrus tastes sticking around.
Easy drinking but a little to mellow for my tastes.

3.8/5 rDev +8.3%
Hazy golden straw colored (hazy not murky), an ambitious pour gave a frothy 1 ½" head, very good retention, nice lacing. Faint lemony nose, almost like lemon pie, a little grassy. Interesting flavor, hard to describe, maybe a little ginger, maybe a little clove, nothing really jumps out ... Balanced. Very good mouthfeel and drinkability.
Maybe not the best representation of a Belgian but certainly a good brew.

New offering from New Belgium so I had to try it.
Pours a pale yellow with a white half finger that melts to very sticky lacing.
Aromas are faint Belgium yeast and sweet malts.
Taste is surprising. A balanced mixture of pale malts, citrusy hops, definite lemon and then the typical Belgium drying at the end.
I'm not sure what this is...sort of a American Macro crossed with a Belgium pale. Strange. Not bad...just strange.

A - Golden yellow with a small white head.
S - lightly hippy on the nose, with a green grassy herbal vibe.
T - Green bell peppers, grassy hops, green tea and a hint of mint.
M - Light bodied with just enough structure to avoid wateriness. Finishes somewhat clean with a minty herbal aftertaste.
Thirst quenching and unique. Not the best thing I've had recently, but worth trying for the unique ingredients. I would drink this again in warmer weather.

Pale and cloud golden in appearance, with attractive white foamy head and lovely lacing.
Nose is a mix of crisp grains and light fruitiness. I also get a hint of citrus (presumably the hops).
Taste is nicely spicy and fruity. There's a well-balanced melding of hoppy citrus and biscuity malts. Enjoyable and well-done session ale here, and I wish this were available more widely.

This came into the store this week and I've been really anxious to try it since it sounds so strange. Body is a lightly hazy golden color topped by a half inch of creamy, stark white head that retains fairly well. Light, herby aroma is somewhere between that of a Belgian blonde and an American adjunct lager - delicate, spicy aromas blend with those of cheap adjunct malt. Strange.
Palate is light and herby. Up front a little bit of sweetness, imparted perhaps by the goji berries. Light herbs - wormwood (I guess), a little thyme - come through before the swallow, with a light citrusy finish. Body is rather spritzy and very refreshing. Wasn't sure how I'd like something like this, but I think it may be a great springtime thirst quencher. If only the weather would warm up a little while it's still on the shelves.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a pale, slightly cloudy yellow. Small white head that leaves thin, semi-long lasting, lacing.
T: A bit lager-like in the crispness factor. This aspect shows through even more when poured from the bottle as opposed to drinking straight. Moderately bitter, but not very hoppy. However, this is not to say that the malt dominates, which it certainly does not. It had a little bit fruity taste to it.
S: Very crisp, very fresh smelling, with a small fruity smell that only showed up when tasting.
M: Very light mouthfeel. Almost too light. It was almost like, "I'm sorry, but did I just take a sip of beer, or was I just breathing? Better take another sip to find out." That may be overstating it.
D: High drinkability points for light mouthfeel, but some points taken away, IMO, for lager-like notes. Lagers are not my favorite style, although if this were one, it would be a damn fine example.
Overall, a good beer, and worth the 9 bucks for the sixer. Perfect for one of those spring days, when the weather is warming up, and you're like "Damn, it's hot today!" even though it's only 70 degrees.

BBD of 29 Jun 07 Pours a hazy straw color with a fluffed up 1 finger depth of white head. Good lacing & head retention
S: A little lemon & wheat malt. Some fruityness (think passion fruit as this warms).
T: Light tart wheat malt, clover, lemons & a hint of pepper up front.
I also catch some corriander & a hint of grapefruit hops & almost like lemontart sweetness. Finishes slightly dry with more passion fruit & pear notes, a little citrus hop & a little tartness & crispness
MF: Light/medium bodied & spritzy, really brings out the flavors
Drinks very easy, an interesting if not dead true style take on belgian PAs. A one they want to consider as a summer seasonal (vice skinny dip) as I believe this would go down like water during summer

In a double-blind study, the spice saffron beat out placebo in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease dementia symptoms.
. The top killers in the United States are heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Number 5? Accidents. Number 9? Kidney disease. Number 13? High blood pressure. Now at 15? Parkinson's dosease. Over the last 50 years they've all stayed relatively stable. Except this one.
Started out of nowhere just a few decades ago and now is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States of America. Whoa, what's that one, coming from out of nowhere to become our 6th leading cause of death. Alzheimer's disease. Last year it was the 7th leading cause of death. It keeps creeping up. Over the last decade or so been making some progress on some of the other top killers, but not Alzheimer's.
Enter… The saffron crocus. Saffron in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease. It was a double blind, randomized trial measuring cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimers patients, comparing saffron to placebo. Saffron is the female reproductive organs of the saffron flower, which you can buy as a spice.
So what did they find? You give Alzheimer's patients placebo capsules, and as you can see, their cognitive dysfunction gets worse over time. That's what happens in Azheimers, you get worse and worse, until you die. Unless, it appears, you spice up your life with a little saffon
Conclusion: "This double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests that at least in the short-term, 16 weeks, saffron is both safe and effective in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Larger confirmatory randomized controlled trials are called for." Urgently, given the devastation wrought by this disease.
But even if this study was a total fluke, what's the downside of adding a little saffron to your diet, a spice that's been cooked with for 3500 years. I don't know about you, but if, God forbid, anyone in my family were ever to be diagnosed with this disease horror, I'd be cooking them paella.

See the corresponding blog post, Natural Alzheimer's treatment, and leave any questions you have about this exciting research below. In tomorrow's video-of-the-day, saffron is pitted against one of the leading Alzheimer's drug treatments.
By looking at the numbers, I would guess it's related to something we introduced in our environment, water or food supply in the last 30~50 years.
While it's great to know that we have a natural treatment, it's imperative that we keep searching (and very hard at that!) for the real causes behind Alzheimer's disease. I'm very concerned about the subject as my uncle passed away last month from Alzheimer's.
I absolutely agree. It's something that I will make sure to keep covering. See Dietary Theory of Alzheimer's for one such theory.
Thanks a lot Dr. Greger! I'll it check out.
I belive the cjd is the culprate for altzimers as it seems to have rased its ugly head at the time the farming industry finaly admited it had a problem with cjd but the governments decided that it must debunk the incidents of cjd in the developed world, just what caused cjd in cattle??? and what was the trigger for the outbreak of cjd and for how long was this condition in cattle??? and when was it realy identified if this was disclosed then we could back track and isolate the trigger and maybe reverse the problem but was it introduced wilfully to rid society of a rising aged population that governments could see as a burdon on the finances of countries and once there is a balance of young to aged then will these governments suddenly find a treatment ?????
Love, love, love this. It continues to make the startling revelation that animal products are the cigarettes we never knew we were smoking. ♥
You should make this into a quote, i really like that "Animal products are the cigarettes we never knew we were smoking."
So if Alzheimer's started to escalate in 1980, what does this co-incide with? CJD and prions maybe? Environmental or viral factors? It is great that saffron helps, but something is affecting the population in the first place that wasn't around before. This is very interesting.
It can't just be eating meat, dairy, eggs because people were eating all these things long before the 1980s. Is it the way food is processed now and the increase in fast food consumption, pesticides?
I do hope there is much more research on this subject.
This is very interesting to me, as I work in home health care and hospice, often with Patients diagnosed with dementia. It's sad how little the medical community focuses on diet and nutrition when it comes to disease and overall health. This is definitely a topic I'll continue to follow up on. Thank you!
The only possible downside I see to this might be the cost, verified by the wikipedia entry: saffron is "the world's most expensive spice by weight". As per the info on the graph in this video, 30 mg/day is the dose. I can buy 1 Gm on amazon.com for a little under 20 bucks. This would provide about 33 doses. I'm sure that's cheaper than Aricept!
What is the recommended amount of saffron one should consume on a daily basis for it to be considered theraputic in the prevention of AD?
The top "Sources Cited" link is dead. Here is the study summary:
Thanks Mike–fixed!
Terrific work here and throughout your site!
I think there could be a "bean counting" effect here (no pun) in that small changes in the way in which one interrupts causes of death could influence these numbers – how does one actually die of Alzheimer's – there are usually so many physical complications happening, death of a person with Alzheimer's could potentially be placed under a number of categories. What could affect categorization? Alzheimer's awareness, great funding needs for study of this terrible disease, political-legal reasons (if one dies of pneumonia for example, it could be the physician's or hospital's "fault", right?)
Then of course the population overall is getting older so naturally the rate of death per 100,000 people is "favoring" deaths of the aged. The logarithmic ordinate in the video is somewhat misleading in that the top three or four causes of death are so much larger, that a slight decrease in them has to be made up by some other category in the top ten (as the overall death rate is rather similar). I noted that "influenza and pneumonia" dropped down the most of any category (8.5% 2009 to 2010 by the latest CDC info from January 11, 2012 http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm ) so I wonder perhaps if some of those deaths now appear as "Alzheimer's").
What surprised me in that recent CDC data were the differences in causes of death by sex. Alzheimer's is #3 for women and #10 for males – again an artifact of the difference in the age distributions? (Parenthetically incredibly #3 cause of death in males are accidents and #7 suicide across all age groups – anyone know dietary effects to reduce those categories?)
So I don't see convincing evidence that the disease process of Alzheimer's is somehow accelerating by some new mechanism but certainly this is one common insidious devastating disease effecting patient and extended family without known cause or cure that needs a lot more attention.
To illustrate the effect of "bean counting" on disease data, recently revised guidelines for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease would reclassify nearly all patients who are currently diagnosed with mild or very mild Alzheimer's as having "mild cognitive impairment", a new study finds announced this morning by TIME magazine's Healthland: http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/08/why-a-new-definition-of-cognitive-impairment-may-confuse-patients/ So if you see numbers in the near future with Alzheimer's disease essentially eradicated, it wasn't necessarily a result of saffron mania.
Saffron is only one component and merely a suggestion. If one is eating a whole foods plant base diet Alzheimer's typically does not occur. It is a disease of diet.
A recent 2011 study (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166432811000325 ) shows, in vitro and in vivo (mice), it's the antioxidant properties (rather than acetylcholine acetylhydrolase inhibition) of saffron that has the cognitive enhancing effect; crocetin, a crocin metabolite in saffron, appears to be a unique and potent antioxidant capable of combating oxidative stress.
For some context, please check out my associated blog post Alzheimer's Disease: Up to half of cases potentially preventable!
Thanks for sharing this video. My mom reacted badly with Aricept, hence I have been looking for alternatives. This is a good lead. Would you know how much saffron to provide therapeutic value for people with dementia? Thanks!
I love spices
Does Saffron prevent Alzheimer? Does Saffron have any side effects?
Most saffron comes in the tiny dried sprigs from the flower, any idea how many of those I should add to my mother's smoothie?
Ok, they toke 30mg / day in two divided (15mg) doses. A gram (1,000mg)
of Saffron than would have 33 doses. I believe that works out to 10
threads/dose of Saffron, or 5 threads twice a day. Does anyone else
agree, can confirm, or have a better number?
Thanks for another great one! Yup, in addition to my mom, aunt and both sisters with breast cancer, and most all adults with heart disease and diabetes, Alzheimer's was the cause of death for my mom and grandma, and though other cousins/uncles were diagnosed, they didn't actually die from the disease. All while I have placed in 65 5K or longer races since '06, 7th in the US in age group in 1500 meters. Go plants! All these dots are so connected, aren't they?
I want to buy saffron capsules or tablets. Could you give me a good recommendation of the best ones to get?

The only thing I can guess is that your "EOF;" isn't the first thing on its line. In your code above there are no indents, but I hope that's just a code-paste thing and it's indented appropriately. However, make EOF; the very beginning thing on its line.
Couple of notes to make - EOF means End Of File. You can use any word you wish there, so EOF (whilst conventional in tutorials) isn't a necessary thing to use. Also you don't need those quotes there either, unless they're there for a reason.Jake Arkinstall

Students throughout Central Wisconsin are heading back to school, and that means parents are making sure their children are doing everything they can to stay safe.
"We do a lot of safety talk, we do a lot about making sure that kids feel safe," said Holly Spurlin of Wisconsin Rapids.
Spurlin is a mother of three and also a teacher.
"Stranger danger is huge, looking both ways before you cross the street, we kind of have a school that's in the center of town so it's really important that we follow the crossing guards and follow directions, and making sure that we're listening to the adults around us," added Spurlin.
Sandy Meyer tells Newsline 9 that she's also been talking to her son Aiden about dealing with strangers.
"Look for strangers, if there's a stranger you don't talk to them," added Meyers.
If your children are walking to school, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation recommends reminding them to always look both ways before crossing a street.
Also knowing what the street signs mean.
Safety experts also suggest making sure your student has a buddy to walk with.
When biking, DOT officials say children should always wear a helmet and know the rules of the road.
For those students who will be taking a bus to get to school, safety experts recommend staying at least three giant steps away from curb while waiting to be picked up.
Another tip: always watch for other vehicles when getting on or off the bus.
All things parents like Spurlin will be talking about to help keep children safe as they begin a new school year.

An old couple celebrates their 50th wedding anniversary in a honeymoon suite. All night long, the bellboy hears laughing and clapping sounds from their room.
The next morning, he asks the old man how he can do it all night at his age.
The husband replies, "First, I remove my clothes. Then, I lie down on the bed face up. Then, my wife removes her clothes and lifts up my penis with one hand, and we make a bet. If it falls to left when she lets go, I win; if it falls to right, she wins."
The bell boy asks, "Well, what if it doesn't fall?"
"Then we both win," says the old man.

Zanshin is a Jeanneau 57 yacht and the second to bear the same name. She was built in France (Click here to see some pictures of the factory and Zanshin during construction). She was commisioned in Annapolis, shown at the 2011 boat show (abk video here and then sailed to the Caribbean in (very cold) early December. The previous Zanshin I (a Jeanneau 49DS) is in new hands and is cruising the Caribbean after having been re-christened.
Subquently Zanshin has comfortably taken me up and down the island chain, mostly single-handing, while I await the right point in time to go through the Ditch and head into the Pacific. While circumnavigation remains my goal and intent I am enjoying the time in the Caribbean so much that I keep on missing the annual weather window to the South Pacific.
Not for me is the route past the challenging great Capes of the world, I'm not that much of an adventurer to wish to tackle those alone on my boat; I'm taking the simpler route through the pre-built canals and staying in warmer climes, this route is not called the "barefoot route" without reason.
Please enjoy browsing the site and, for those who find themselves sailing in unknown waters:
(May there always be a handsbreadth of water beneath your keel.)

Recently christened Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa will be honored at the 56th Annual St. Louis Baseball Writers Dinner Sunday, Jan. 19 at the Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel downtown.
The event, held for decades at the Millennium Hotel, will also honor two St. Louis Cardinals World Series teams -- the 1964 club that beat the New York Yankees, and the 2013 team that won the National League pennant before falling to the Boston Red Sox in October.
Among those expected to attend from the 1964 team: Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Bob Uecker, Tim McCarver, Mike Shannon, Dick Groat, Charlie James, Jerry Buchek, Phil Gagliano.
Invited from the 2013 team: Adam Wainwright, Matt Carpenter, Yadier Molina, Allen Craig, Michael Wacha, Trevor Rosenthal, Matt Holliday and Shelby Miller.
In addition, retiring Redbirds pitcher Chris Carpenter will be honored for his years of service to the Cardinals, and Jason Motte will receive the Darryl Kile Award, given in honor of the late Cardinals pitcher.
Manager Mike Matheny and General Manager John Mozeliak will also receive awards, as will the franchise's minor-league player and pitcher of the year.
The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m., with garage parking available on the east and west sides of the hotel, located at 800 Washington Street near the convention center. Dinner customers from the metro-east should use the Eads Bridge, which takes drivers directly onto Washington for a short drive to the hotel just blocks from the riverfront.
Tickets remain for the dinner, at $150 each or $175 apiecce if customers want to purchase a three-day pass to the Cardinals Winter Warm-Up, which is held the weekend of the dinner.
Tickets may be purchased at http://www.stlouisbbwaa.com, or at a booth at the Winter Warm-Up, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency-St. Louis.
Proceeds from the dinner go to journalism scholarships and internships at the University of Missouri and St. Louis University, and the Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis.

VIDEO: Teens put life at risk in 'tremendously dangerous' stunt up a 50m crane in Wallington
4:00pm Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News By Sophia Sleigh , Chief Reporter
This is the terrifying moment a daredevil put his life at risk to dangle himself from a 50m crane.
Footage, published on YouTube on February 16, reveals three men, who appear to be in their teens, climbing up the giant crane in Shotfield, Wallington.
The youngster starts by holding on with both hands
He slowly lets go and clings on with just one hand
Their death-defying ascent is captured on a GoPro camera and appears to have been done without any safety equipment.
The three teens appear to take it in turns to hang off the towering crane.
The crane towers above neighbouring buildings
A police spokesman said the video was a copycat of a Channel 4 documentary, aired last month, called Don't Look Down telling the story of urban free climbers who illegally climb cranes and buildings without safety equipment and then hang from them.
He said: "We are getting hold of a still from that video. We will work to identify them individually and work with local police teams to do that.
"We also want to have a closer look at the video to see if any offences have been committed. We would also be looking at whether their actions constitute anti-social behaviour.
"We will be working with site security, around the crane, to increase patrols and would appeal to members of the public to come forward and tell us who the individuals are.
"What they have done is tremendously dangerous and they are putting their lives at risk. We will be doing our duty to the public to protect their safety.
The youngsters filmed themselves at the top of the crane
"This was such an incredibly dangerous and stupid thing to do that it's almost beyond belief. They could easily have lost their lives."
He said the teens would be dealt with 'robustly' and police would be talking to the Health and Safety Executive and the site's management about tightening security to prevent any further activities.
If you recognise the teens or have any information contact Sutton Police on 101.
After hanging on with just one hand the teen is then seen scrambling back up to his companions
The youngsters bump fists in celebration of their stunt

Photo of Rosario courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire
By Tom Pedulla, America's Best Racing
BALTIMORE – Ron Anderson, one of the most successful jockey agents in the history of the game, will never forget a conversation he held with Bobby Frankel in 2006.
Anderson asked Frankel what he knew about a youngster named Joel Rosario who had arrived from the Dominican Republic and was competing on the Northern California circuit. The answer from the Hall of Fame trainer surprised him.
"You better watch him," Frankel replied. "You might be working for him some day."
Frankel did not live to see how prophetic his words were. He died of leukemia in November 2009. He undoubtedly would have been pleased to know that Rosario and Anderson formed a dynamic combination last August.
"I remember the conversation vividly," Anderson said, "because he was so sure this kid was special."
Rosario, who shifted his business to the East Coast last summer, soared to national prominence in recent months by winning the $10 million Dubai World Cup with Animal Kingdom on March 30 before masterfully guiding Orb to a 2 ½-length victory in the Kentucky Derby.
"I feel awesome right now," Rosario said during a news conference on Friday at Pimlico Race Course.
He can add to his rapidly growing reputation if Orb justifies his billing as the even-money favorite in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday. Either way, former Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey is convinced Rosario is not a fleeting star the way a number of Derby-winning riders have been.
"He has the tools to build on this," Bailey said.
Big races are not too big for Rosario. Shug McGaughey said of his jockey's demeanor before the pressure-packed Derby, "Very relaxed. He was kind of laughing. I haven't thought about it much, but I wasn't surprised when I saw his attitude."
Rosario, 28, distinguished himself during and after the 1 ¼-mile first jewel of the Triple Crown. Although the plan was to keep Orb much closer to the lead, he made an immediate adjustment when he recognized that Palace Malice, equipped with blinkers for the first time, was setting a blistering pace. Palace Malice's half-mile split of :45.33 was fourth-fastest in the Derby's 139-year history.
How did Rosario respond to the hot pace? He stayed cool, even as Orb dropped 18 ¾ lengths back after that scorching half-mile. He remained confident he and his horse would be good enough to weave their way through most of the 19-horse field when it was time to do some serious running.
"He's got a good sense of what we call 'court sense or race sense,' " Bailey said. "He knows where he is and should be. And he's usually in the right spot."
Rosario also impressed onlookers with his selflessness after the Derby.
Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire
"It's not about him at all," Anderson said. "It's about the horse, the people at the barn. He is part of the team, not all of the team."
Rosario dominated the prestigious spring meet at Keeneland with 38 victories. He ruled Opening Night at Churchill Downs with five wins. He is aware of the high expectations surrounding Orb and the masterful ride he will need to carve out in the 1 3/16-mile Preakness if they are to win from the rail as part of a field of nine.
Asked if he feels pressure, he responded, "Yeah, a little bit, but it's a good pressure. Any time I have the horse that's the favorite, I like that pressure."

Remembering Laura Ziskin
June 13, 2011 at 1:56 pm , by Ladies' Lounge
It's a sad day at the LHJ offices, and for breast cancer survivors and advocates everywhere. Last night, one of the recipients of our 2011 Do Good Awards, Laura Ziskin, passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 61.
Ziskin, who produced such modern movie classics as Pretty Woman and Spider Man, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2004 and helped co-found the cancer fighting organization, Stand Up 2 Cancer (SU2C). She raised millions of dollars—and worldwide awareness—in the fight against the deadly disease.
When we interviewed Ziskin last spring, she reiterated to LHJ readers that "Cancer is everybody's cause." She also told us that SU2C will "only really meet its goal when someone discovers a treatment that's going to make a difference in a cancer patient's life. Who knows, maybe that life will be mine."
You can read more about SU2C and Ziskin's brave fight at the Stand Up 2 Cancer site.

Long time stalker, time for a build thread!
This is the wee beastie the day I picked it up from Pentagon in Sheffield last year.
The spec from the dealer;
Zetec S 1.6 TDCi 95 2010
Illumination pack (LED gear knob & scuff plates, leather and chrome handbrake)
City Pack (Rear sensors, powerfold mirrors)
Mods so far;
Clayed and buffed.
Calipers and drums painted.
Red LED footwell lights.
Sony headunit retrofit (custom loom)
Infinity amp (stealth mounted)
RCA speakers converters
Infinity 17cm component with tweeters (OE positions)
On the list;
EGR blanking plate (ordered)
O/S/F 'slightly' buckled - new alloy or replace with something not made of chocolate. (maybe these)
Sony speaker retrofit so I can use the amp to power a sub.
Remap. (Zoom zoom)
Paintwork mopped.
Cruise control retrofit. (once I find a cheap steering wheel)
Soundproofing and deadening
A summary of the 1000 photo's
Highlights so far;
Footwell LED's plug and play.
It likes a diet of Shell V power diesel and Millers ecomax (much less lag)
Fun and games figuring out the custom loom for the Sony (pre 2011 car with the wrong connections).
Sony HU much better than the standard but the standard speakers can't take the extra bass.
The tweeters are definitely the weakest part of the OE set-up.
Figured out a better way of running the amp power other than through the bulkhead.
All comments welcome.

Senior Joyce Iamstrong finished a team-high 12 points as the FGCU women's basketball team has its 16-game home winning streak snapped with a 60-53 non-conference loss to UCF Saturday night at Alico Arena.
"We have to give UCF credit, they came in here and did what they had to do to get a win," said head coach Karl Smesko. "We did not shoot the ball or execute our gameplan well enough to win this game. We need to get back to work and get ready for LSU on the 28th."
With the win, UCF ended the nation's ninth-longest home winning streak, picked up their first win against the Eagles and improved to 5-8 overall, while the Green and Blue fell to 6-5 on the season.
The Eagles, who rank 16th in the nation in three-point field goals per game (7.8) this season, knocked down nine shots from behind the arc, led by two treys from Iamstrong and redshirt-seniors Betsy Adams and Lerrin Cook.
Iamstrong finished with 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and 2-of-5 from long distance. She also added six rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Redshirt junior Sarah Hansen tallied 11 points, her 10th double figure scoring performance of the season, to go with five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal. Hansen with her layup at the 16:46 mark of the second half moved past former FGCU great Kate Schrader on the all-time scoring list and now sits in fourth place (1,069) behind Shannon Murphy (1,185).
FGCU will wrap up it's non-conference schedule with a Friday home match against SEC-power LSU.

The pool at Luxor is termed an oasis and there's no better word for it. The picturesque area, which is seen upon entry from Luxor's parking garage, is beautiful and lavish, with five sparkling pools.
Water streams elegantly down a series of pillars and misters are located around the abundant palms.
Quite roomy and open, it's one of the least-confining pool areas in town and also one of the prettiest.

Nissan announced Wednesday the opening of its new battery plant in Smyrna, potentially creating up to 1,000 new jobs in the coming years. The facility, located adjacent to Nissan's existing vehicle assembly plant, is currently making battery components for the ramp-up of production of the all-electric Nissan LEAF early next year.The Smyrna assembly plant was recently retooled to accommodate production of the Nissan LEAF. As demand for the LEAF increases, the battery plant is capable of expanding to produce up to 200,000 batteries a year and that could add up to 1,000 jobs, Nissan said.Since December 2010, Nissan has delivered more than 18,000 LEAFs to U.S. customers alone."The opening of this facility in Tennessee supports our goal of making zero-emissions mobility a reality through American jobs and American manufacturing," Carlos Ghosn, president and chief executive officer of Nissan Motor Company, said in a release.Adding production of the Nissan LEAF and the battery plant has resulted in the creation of more than 300 U.S. manufacturing jobs to date in Smyrna.

OPINION San Francisco is the second most unequal city in the nation. Working and middle-income people and families are being forced to flee the city they love. Between 2010 and 2013, Ellis Act evictions alone increased by 170 percent.
In 2013, a total of 3,662 San Franciscans were served with eviction notices. Over 1,000 of these tenants went to court without lawyers. According to court statistics, 90 percent of landlords hire attorneys, while only 10 percent of tenants have a lawyer. This inequity has made it more difficult for tenants to adequately assert their rights.
To level the playing field, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee just designated $1 million to fund 10 nonprofit housing attorneys to perform full scope legal services for any tenant facing eviction in San Francisco. We teamed up with tenant rights organizers and attorneys to fight for this budget allocation in order to address San Francisco's affordability crisis. This funding will ensure that all San Franciscans facing eviction will receive legal assistance if they need it.
Crucial to ensuring economic diversity in this city is protecting our rent-controlled housing stock. Every time a tenant is evicted from his or her apartment, we lose another unit of price-controlled housing that is safe from the current astronomical market rental and sale prices. The board has passed local legislation that helps tenants remain in the city after an eviction, including Sup. Campos' legislation increasing relocation assistance amounts after an Ellis Act eviction.
However, only the state Legislature has the power to change the law in a manner that would make a large impact on the frequency of evictions. Sadly, last week, Sen. Mark Leno's bill that would have curbed Ellis Act evictions died in the Assembly Housing Committee. Leno said he will not further pursue the bill this year. Therefore, we must continue to act locally to deal with our housing crisis.
Legal representation for tenants is a crucial part of the fight against displacement. Several academic studies have shown that tenants are five to 10 times more likely to stay in their homes after receiving an eviction notice if they are represented by an attorney throughout the eviction process. Furthermore, having an attorney protects the tenants against abusive practices by landlords.
Tenant advocates report that illegal harassment by landlords is on the rise in an effort to force out tenants without having to resort to the formal eviction process. It is common practice for landlords to attempt to "buy out" tenants by offering a monetary sum to vacate a unit outside of the legal process. Vulnerable tenants, including immigrants and tenants who live in Section 8 housing, are often forced out of their units because they do not understand or assert their rights. Even if the action results in the tenants leaving, an attorney can help tenants avoid having an eviction on their record, which makes it much more difficult for the tenants to rent again.
We are fortunate to have 14 excellent nonprofit organizations in San Francisco that provide no- or low-cost legal services to tenants. However, these organizations have been woefully underfunded and do not have sufficient staff to address this housing crisis. The budget allocation of $1 million to fund 10 additional tenant attorneys will have a profound impact on San Francisco's housing crisis. It will also make San Francisco one of the first cities in the country to provide a right to legal assistance to tenants facing eviction. Just as the Constitution allows an attorney for a person accused of a crime, a person threatened with the loss of his or her home should have legal assistance. San Francisco can and should lead the way when it comes to providing legal assistance to those tenants who need it.
be careful. while there are many deadbeat and scummy landlords, there are also tenants who make it a profession of working the system. not paying rent for months at a time, trumping up fake habitability charges that the city of san francisco building inspectors and health dept inspectors find are just not true... thrown away smoke detectors and carbonmonoxide detectors, plain harrassment, wasted utilities...
justice is TWO SIDED and blind. this article is NOT! the board of supervisors is NOT.
let's not forget landlords can be good and of good service and will. just as tenants can be
how about FREE legal representation for landlords. when a tenant has a frivolous case just to prolong living in an apartment for free, there should be some recourse for landlords who spend 5000-15000 on average for eviction processing by an attorney... how about a fund to pay attorney's fees when landlords win....
And certainly not with tax money they have taken only from property owners. It's like using your money to fund the other side's lawyer.
Did you say lawyer? I know a savvy lawyer in Walnut Creek who knows how to multi-task in spite of his mediocre Avvo rating.
Find another hobby.
The property owners didn't actually make money out of thin air, they get it from charging the tenants more than they spend in building costs. Also most tenants pay taxes too, but I guess your entitled to your opinion that tenants don't pay taxes.
but it seems that only the tenants get the benefit of those taxes.
I think you meant to say "how about a fund to pay attorneys fees if the landlord wins" not "when the landlord wins"
I don't think their are lots of scummy landlords. Often, it's not even the landlord who has the choice of being god or bad and they're responsible to the building owner for taking the highest profit course of action. It's up to the courts and the public to make sure the landlords can't profit from shortcuts to the tenants rights. So, in my opinion, not a bunch of scummy deadbeat landlords, just a lot of greedy landlords who do a cost and risk estimate before deciding how good of service they absolutely must provide to avoid financial cost from the courts of non-compliance.
I believe any tenant working the system like you hypothesized can be counter sued for legal fees if the tenant suit is frivolous. So you already have what your asking for, you just need to use it. There's a reasonable level of proof you have to show to win a verdict in a frivolous lawsuit case. That's to prevent landlords from abusing the law to get free defense lawyers to pay for the most common scenario's where the landlord addresses the problem just after the lawsuit is filed, but before the inspectors show up.

Privately owned property is not "our" housing stock.
It may be subject to rent control laws, but that is precisely why much of it is being steadily converted to owner-occupied housing.
if owners want to occupy their own units to provide housing for themselves, I think that would be great. Owners should probably be required by law to live in the buildings and experience for theme selves the problems. (or enjoy the benefits, if they are good landlords)
When demand for apartments go up, through no actions of the landlord, does it seem right the landlord should make a larger profit? Landlords don't spend more money on maintaining the building when property values go up, so why should they take more profit from the tenants?
It's interesting to note that if a landlord chooses to evict everyone in a large building it would increase the number for people who need a place to sleep so the newly homeless will have no choice but to pay the other landlords more to try and get a bed in the remaining places. This means that as a group landlords profit from creating scarcity and destroying opportunities for affordable housing of mothers, kids, and anyone else.
If the city discourages the provision of rental housing and the building of new housing, then there can only be one result" fewer homes and more expensive homes.
You cannot blame property owners for refusing to rent out their homes when the city has passed so many laws that reduce the profitability and flexibility of doing that.
Price controls always suppress supply except in the very short-term.
I'm about as liberal as they come. Still I do not understand the mentality that says, "When demand for apartments go up, through no actions of the landlord, does it seem right the landlord should make a larger profit? Landlords don't spend more money on maintaining the building when property values go up, so why should they take more profit from the tenants?"
That's what ownership MEANS. I could follow if the critique was of the entire capitalist system as a whole. Hey, I can contemplate that kind of thinking myself. But while we're still in the realm of acting within the system we have - YES, a landlord, like any other business owner, is entitled to make profits on investments that rise in value. I certainly favor some laws to stabilize rents and facilitate a situation where there are apartments at an array of prices.
The biggest problem is that landlords not only cannot "take more profit from the tenants" but instead actually lose more profit each year given the insignificant increases allowed under the rent control rules.
While most expenses increase at or around the rate of inflation, rents are capped at 60% of the CPI. This means that as one's insurance, maintenance, accounting, etc. costs increase at 100% of inflation (actually higher here in San Francisco), rents can only increase at 60% of this rate. This is a recipe for a failed system and the number of evictions is just a symptom of this failure.
And none of the above even begins to address what happens when a property changes hands.
When applied and sustained long-term, they inevitably lead to shortages as roperty owners choose other uses for their building.

Jason Grant Garza here .... WHAT a FARCE ... this is the same Adachi and Campos who were SOOO concerned that they helped pass Laura's Law and can NOT even get MEDICAL LAW ENFORCED? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIPN-55O8UA . Remember I have been constantly and illegally denied medical care by DPH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo&list=TLdXGg40w5c2kCrMOL_h9e_... for HOW long NOW? If you go to youtube and type in Jason Garza you will see over 500 videos inclusive of the complicit players (Sheriff and SFPD) that DO NOT ENFORCE medical law. At least NOW you can watch me go to the SUPERVISORS (as I will and videotape as I have in the past and NOT been helped) in order to follow up with Laura's Law and ask to go before a JUDGE to show my videos, the law breaking activity, the complicit players, the continual HARM and DAMAGES and the YEARS of ABUSE. Shall we see JUST HOW MUCH HELP I get from the SUPERVISORS with the videos. documentation and proof that I have? Yes let us watch the RESULTS .... KEEP DRINKING the KOOL-AID and DESPAIR. Oh and while we are at it maybe we can speak with Adachi and ask where was my counsel when I was illegally arrested at SFGH and called the PO. We can ask David Chiu where was my CIVIL GIDEON that I went to him about when DPH committed CRIMINAL FRAUD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo&list=TLdXGg40w5c2kCrMOL_h9e_... .....
Learn the GAMES and watch the INHUMANITY .... mind you CIVIL GIDEON and that failed thru the President of the Board of Supervisors (the videos are in my account on youtube) and we get this from Adachi and Campos .... what a FARCE. Keep watching as I will continue to follow up and point out the "FALSE PROPHETS" by the FRUIT that they BEAR. Go to youtube and type in Jason Garza and tell your friends who can see REALITY as OPPOSED to the "feel good meaningless non-result producing" rethoric.

I am tired of the rhetorical conflation in this discourse. "Preserving units" does absolutely nothing to enable new middle-income renters to find housing in the city. As written, SF rent control protects incumbents - rich, poor, and in-between - from price increases. In some cases, this enables a middle-class family to stay in a home or keeps a poor person off the streets. In others, however, it protects a person who could afford a rent increase from a natural rise in cost of living or protects a person from the consequence of their lifestyle choices by externalizing those conequences to other middle-class people, including other prospective tenants.
Rent control incumbents will never willingly give up their subsidies. It's a variant on the NRA slogan: "I'll give you my rent controlled apartment when you pry it from my cold, dead hands."
of a tenant by a landlord to create a vacancy.
But we won't need them to give up their units. We will simply wait until there aren't enough of the old farts left to fight a repeal of rent control
You mean like the way landlords will never fix anything they aren't legally required to fix? it's also a variant NRA slogan: "I'll fix the fire alarms when you pry the money from my cold, interest bearing stock portfolio"
after the initial rent is set. That subsidy is the rent foregone by the owner and is equal to the difference between the actual rent and the market rent.
You cannot have cheap rent without some kind of subsidy. Either a government subsidy or an "opportunity cost" subsidy imposed on landlords.
If you pay less than something is worth, then someone else has to make up the difference.
It's amusing how rent control addicts refuse to admit they're being subsidized.
their subsidies. It's to increase "diversity", or to save the "soul" of the city, or because someone claims to be an "artist".
People will always find a reason why they should get a handout.
my cash loan now I know this web site gives quality depending posts and additional material, is payday
loans new orleans
It is irrelevant to everyone else
I'm confused by your comment. can you explain to me. . .
How does rent control reward mean landlords?
A landlord who is aggressive will get more turnover, and therefore higher rents and more profits.
A "nice" landlord lets his tenants get away with stuff and his tenants then never leave.
The most common phrase I hear from other landlords? "No good deed goes unpunished".
Nobody old.
No single moms.
Must have job at fortune 500 company in a primary role.
Verify bank statement and credit score and job references.
In a city with an abundance of renters, many with good income, it just ends up hurting people at the margins.
And there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Public sector workers
Anyone with zero ambition
Anyone who is here for the city rather than the job.
OTOH, foreigners are great. They ALWAYS leave.
Illegals are good too. They never assert their rights.
My parents were landlords outside California in a very large city with rent control that was even more renter friendly than SF.
here's what I have to say to landlord's in SF - stop bitching! When you bought the business (and yes, it is a business) you knew what the conditions of the business are, what laws you would have to abide by, what your tax deductions would look like, how your profits would be taxed at a different rate than straight income, how to write off losses and capital investments versus daily repairs.
a good tenant is worth their weight in gold. They pay their rent on time and they don't bother you with repairs. The tenant from hell is what you have to watch out for and what you don't want the city to fund, especially if you are a small landlord.
I used to have a small business helping small landlords evict problem tenants when I was in college, for a year or two. I didn't collect any money except court filing fees until the tenant was out. I would refuse clients who I thought were jerks and I would provide advice to tenants who needed help on other issues.
I disagree with tenants renting their places on airbnb for profit; I don't think it's fair to the landlord or the fellow tenants as there are safety and liability issues involved. My neighbor 2 doors down rented hers out and the tenants kept forgetting their key and were buzzing my unit to let me in, were fighting all the time and locking each other out so they would pound on the apartment door, etc.
my current landlord wants to take away my closet space so that, now that my next door neighbor has moved out, he can renovate a perfectly good apartment and add a washer, dryer, and dishwasher, and charge $4000 instead of $1500 from 2010.
why not just take half of my living room to give them a pantry? Already my apartment is a junior 1 bedroom that is 500 square feet or less.
landlords and tenants both need to be reasonable and work together.
rents in 2010 were $1500 for a 1 bedroom. They jumped in 2012 to $3000 due to demand not due to costs. SF is 7x7 square miles. Unless height limitations are removed, there's never going to be sufficient housing stock. Rent control doesn't have much to do with it in my humble opinion.
...just my thoughts - everyone is entitled to disagree with them but I thank you for reading them and considering them in the first place.
HA. Foregone profit is not a subsidy. Please.
What is subsidized is the property tax of the owner. By the taxpayers of California. Thx Prop 13!
Oh, and all the deductions of mortgage interest. Again, thx taxpayers!
Want low interest rates? Lets manipulate the market! Thanks QE.
LL's want all their costs to be protected from market forces but not the tenant's costs.
Rent control evens the field. Not a perfect system but until we want to lower income taxes by getting rid of prop 13, don't even think about getting rid of rent control.
Being a LL is a business. Play by the rules you bought into. Or don't play. Quit whining and buck up.
state policy that mostly benefits the vast majority of property owners who are not landlords. And prop 13 simply means that other taxes are higher, like sales and income taxes. Even so, prop taxes increase by an average of 7% a year - far more than inflation
Landlords can deduct all their expenses anyway so don't need mortgage interest deduction.
An opportunity cost is simply another form of subsidy.

Serious question: I have always had a thing for Anna Nicole Smith and frequently masturbated to her Playboy photos. I've always felt some guilt about masturbation to begin with, but since her death, I now feel a little creepy doing it. Do you think it's okay to continue now that she has passed away?
