Open Fidelity and Quakerism
I was at Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) last weekend, so it seems a good time to write something about how my being a Quaker relates to Open Fidelity.
Firstly, if you don't know much about Quakers, there is a great website about it here and another here. Everything I say about Quakers applies only to Quakers in Britain, and possibly in other areas with a liberal tradition – beliefs and attitudes vary a lot around the world.
Quakers believe there is something of God in everyone (though our definitions of God may vary). This means that every person is valuable and has something unique and precious to offer the world. It follows that we are generally against killing people for any reason, and Quakers have a long history of peace work.
We also have 'testimonies', which are principles that we try to live by (though they are not set down in any form of words). The main traditional testimonies are peace, truth/integrity, equality and simplicity, and sustainability/the environment is now becoming established too.
Open Fidelity follows naturally, for me, from the testimony to truth. One aspect of this is that being truthful means accepting the facts even when they are hard to face, and it is a fact (as I've said before) that monogamous relationships are difficult for many people, however one might wish they were easy. And a second, more obvious aspect is that we should be honest with our partners.
Another link between Quaker views and Open Fidelity is to take the idea of each person being unique and precious and applying it to sexuality. If we are precious, and we are sexual, then our sexuality is something to be valued and celebrated. I believe strongly that sexuality is part of being human and is thus sacred. And by sacred I don't mean something to keep for marriage! Note that Quakers don't often talk in these terms about sexuality in my experience, but I and many of my Quaker friends feel this way of thinking is compatible with Quakerism.
Jesus said we should love our neighbour as ourselves. I've heard this interpreted, including in Quaker circles, as meaning we should love ourselves so as better to be able to love others. You may or may not follow everything Jesus is reported to have said, but some of it is great stuff, including this bit. Loving yourself, truly rather than narcissistically, is the basis for being a whole human being. And if you don't love your sexuality, it will be hard to really love yourself.
But if you value yourself and your sexuality, why should you restrict how you express this by promising to be sexual with only one person? And if you want to live honestly but don't want to be restricted by monogamy, won't a promise of monogamy be dishonest?
The principle of equality applies strongly to Open Fidelity. It means that if I want something (such as freedom to have other partners), I have to consider that my partner might also want that, and accept that they have as much right to it as I do. Similarly, if I think I would be hurt to think my partner had cheated on me, I must assume that they would be hurt if I did the same to them. It's just the basic do-as-you-would-be-done-by principle, otherwise known as the Golden Rule, applied to relationships.
Equality between people of all genders and sexualities is also central to my way of thinking, and it is accepted by most British Quakers, though equality of sexuality isn't accepted by Quakers in some parts of the world. I believe same-sex relationships to be as valuable as opposite-sex relationships. Of course you can use some of the suggestions I make if you aren't as convinced of this as I am, but I think you'll be missing out!
Simplicity and peace aren't so directly linked to Open Fidelity. Simplicity includes valuing the important things in life, such as love, community, time, the earth, more than things like money, possessions, status and reputation. Open Fidelity fits with this for me – valuing people for themselves rather than their possessions or status. And if more people were sexually fulfilled and stopped fighting each other over sexual jealousy, we might have fewer wars!

Initially, the thought of a mash-up of Upset Birds with Celebrity Wars seemed completely improbable. Yet as you will see, Angry Birds Star Wars has included so much creativity plus fun while keeping with the Superstar Wars lore it is most makes sense and can keep you entertained for several hrs.
Furious Birds, for the few that do not know, is a platform, stage based game where hens are thrown about to be able to rating points, get achievements and open new levels with cool hidden features. Great figures, colorful backdrops and create video gaming are the hallmarks of an Furious Birds sport.
With Angry Birds Star Wars, the bird characters on their own get a total overhaul and well known Star Battles characters do too. Luke Skywalker becomes a bird, just like the venerable Obi-Wan plus hard charging Ryan Solo doing his bit as well.
With the game play, each player gets some specific abilities which lengthen what is normally available in the typical Angry Wild birds sport. Flinging the particular red Luke Skywalker parrot, a display screen double tap can activate their lightsaber to slice through the 1st row of hurdles in this route as he lures through the air. Obi-Wan can use The Power to push large blocks in whichever direction you touch towards. But Han Solo could be the should lethal - using his blaster in order to blast a route or bring loss of life to your competitors like the pig storm troopers or the pig Darth Vader in the event that he is brave enough.
The action takes place within a series of 80 phases you start with Tatooine, as you progress into Space and afterwards moving to the Death Celebrity. This is an extremely loose retelling of the authentic 1977 Star Battles movie, with all the expectation of future releases growing further into the Star Wars world.
The inventive level style and merging associated with select elements from both the Furious Birds and Star Wars franchise is a thing associated with beauty. Gameplay is more challenging than with earlier Angry Birds video games because here time is everything. When to go, when to attend. Whenever to use your unique power and which usually bird to use in every situation, to progress through the levels and unlock C3PO plus R2D2. It will require several tries to workout the right strategy. Try to obtain a top 3 star rating for every stage plus push your rating to new heights.
The game is extremely inexpensive just 99 cents. Numerous amounts can be revealed in game too. To get what you obtain for under a buck, the game is indeed a discount.
Expansions within the game is possible with within game buys. There is a Path from the Jedi group of 40 stages that are harder compared to stages currently present. There is also an overhauled Millenium Falcon, along with bird like features, which can possess a level crushing effect on the particular pigs. angry birds space serial key for pc adobe cs5 keygen generator age of empires 3 keygen serial

Product description
From one of America's iconic writers, a portrait of a marriage and a life - in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. A stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill. At first they thought it was flu, then pneumonia, then complete sceptic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later - the night before New Year's Eve -the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of 40 years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LA airport, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Centre to relieve a massive hematoma. This powerful book is Didion's 'attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness ...about marriage and children and memory ...about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself'. The result is an exploration of an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage, and a life, in good times and bad.

Author information
Joan Didion was born in California and lives in New York. She is the author of five novels and seven previous books of nonfiction: among them the great portraits of a decade in essays, 'Sentimental Journeys', 'The White Album', and 'Slouching Towards Bethlehem'.
Review quote
'It is the most awesome performance of both participating in, and watching, an event. Even though Didion does not allow herself to break down, only a terribly controlled reader will resist doing the same.' John Freeman, Independent 'Ultimately, and unexpectedly for a book about illness and death, this is a wonderfully life affirming book.' Lisa O'Kelly, Observer 'Searing, informative and affecting. Don't leave life without it.' Financial Times 'This is a beautiful and devastating book by one of the finest writers we have. Didion has always been a precise, humane and meticulously truthful writer, but on the subject of death she becomes essential.' Zadie Smith 'Taking the reader to places where they would not otherwise go is one of the things a really good book can do. "The Year of Magical Thinking" does just that, and brilliantly. Powerful, moving and true.' Cressida Connolly, Spectator 'A great book, a great work. Angular, exact, pressured and tough, precise as a diamond drill bit.' Nick Laird

PHOENIX (CP) _ Big games aren't out of the ordinary for Markieff Morris anymore, and he had another one Friday night.
Morris made his first 11 shots en route to a 25-point performance and the Phoenix Suns handed the Toronto Raptors their fifth straight loss, 106-97.
"I've just got a great feel for the game right now," he said. "I'm not trying to shoot as many 3s as I have in the past. I've just been working on driving to the basket and trying […]View Post...

First day: MONDAY!!
- 3Jul 6, '13 by eyesopen_mouthshutWhat do I wear?! We can wear anything, and I'm in FL... I'm thinking a modest dress and a sweater?
Also I'm already having those dreams... Late to class, forgot to study for a test, etc. Last night, it was the teacher asking who read the first chapter before classes started and I was the only one to raise my hand... He proceeded to say "10 points from Gryffindor for being smart to me!" Ughhhhh I just want school to start!!!
Okay I feel better getting the out lol!

- 0Jul 6, '13 by BloomNurseRNI dressed conservatively but not dressy. In my program people wore anywhere from pajamas to business casual. I tended to go toward the end of business casual but certainly was casual too. Just dress comfortably and in a way that shows you're serious and ready to get down to business. :-) Good luck!
- 1Jul 6, '13 by lorirn2bMy shool suggests we wear conservative casual. I'm taking that to mean jeans and a blouse or nice T shirt, not my usual ripped jeans and band t shirt! (And I'm almost fifty.....go figure.... a child of the 70s.... it sticks with ya.) Anyway, just wanted to say.... I'm so jeeeelllllyyyyy....... I wanna start school already!!!!
- 0Jul 7, '13 by springchick1Quote from kskaggs126I woke up this morning CONVINCED I had missed clinicals. I checked 3 calendars
Also I'm already having those dreams... Late to class, forgot to study for a test, etc.
- 0Jul 7, '13 by NurseOnAMotorcycleTrust me, wear something comfy but keep in mind the other students (not the teachers!!) will be sizing you up.
- 0Jul 8, '13 by shortlilgirl02In the beginning of the nursing program, most of us dressed nice and did our hair/makeup. By the end of the program, we all wore jeans/t-shirts except on lab days when scrubs were required. You might be like we were by the end - too exhausted from work and long clinical hours to care much about appearance (hygiene matters however...always!!) Good luck! =)
- 0Jul 8, '13 by aachavezWe were required to wear scrubs at all times on campus, but recently admin allowed us to go casual when we are not in lab. Many people have taken too much liberty with it. Way too short shorts, tube tops, ripped jeans etc. The Dean is pretty unhappy, and may make us go back to scrubs. So my advice is to keep it more on the conservative side, yet comfy. You want to maintain a profesional appearance, your instructors and classmates will take you more seriously. Don't need to get super fancy, but don't go looking like you just rolled out of bed.
Always read ahead when you can (but not too far). Good luck!
- 0Jul 8, '13 by eyesopen_mouthshutHey guys!! Wow I'm done with my first day!!!
I ended up settling on a pair or longer linen shorts, a comfy, nonclingy tshirt, an oversized sweater, and some sandals (not of the flip flop variety).
I was so nervous about making a good impression while following the dress code, but there were girls there with tube and tank tops, leggings, ripped jeans, and flip flops. I felt a little over dressed, but over all I was super comfy... I wasn't freezing like some of the other girls or constantly adjusting the girls or just plain uncomfortable.
Thanks for all the tips and tricks!!! You guys are great

Pearson Chosen by the University of Florida to Promote UF Online's New Bachelor's Degree Programs

University of Florida Expands Relationship with Pearson to Increase Access to Online Learning Opportunities
GAINESVILLE, FL February 03, 2014
Pearson has expanded its relationship with the University of Florida (UF) to launch UF Online for baccalaureate degree programs. UF Online is targeted to qualified, first-time-in-college and transfer students who are seeking the rigor of the university's degree programs in a flexible online environment. Through the relationship, Pearson will grow enrollment and provide support to the university with technology, e-Textbooks (if instructors request), recruitment marketing, enrollment management, student support and retention services, as well as support for research in UF's Online Research Institute. UF will maintain ownership of all decisions related to curricula, faculty, admission and enrollment standards.
UF Online classes began on January 6 with five online undergraduate degree programs, as well as select general education courses. Two additional programs will launch in the summer. Providing the same academic quality and content as the on-ground degree programs, enrollment numbers for the online program are projected to reach 24,000 over the next 10 years.
"We've chosen Pearson because of its proven record in providing support to online higher education," said Elizabeth Phillips, executive director of UF Online. "The resources and expertise Pearson brings to the table allows us to focus on what we do best — teaching and research."
Currently ranked third in the nation for its value among public universities by Kiplinger's, students from Florida will pay no more than 75 percent of the cost of tuition, or about $112 per credit hour. Combined with savings on room and board and exemptions from certain on-campus fees, the university estimates online students will pay about $10,800 less per year than those who attend classes at the university. Further details on degree programs and tuition can be found at http://ufonline.ufl.edu/.
"UF has some of the most impressive academic credentials coveted by both students and employers in the U.S.," said David Daniels, managing director of Higher Education Services, Pearson North America. "We are excited about this opportunity to work with UF in its tremendous efforts to create a world-class online undergraduate education offering that will increase access to a top-tier education for students who are unable to live in the Gainesville area."
This comprehensive relationship extends UF's existing association with Pearson Embanet, a unit of Pearson Online Learning Services, which currently supports eight online graduate programs at the institution.
Pearson is the leading provider of comprehensive educational services for fully online degree programs. These include market research, recruitment marketing, student support and retention services, materials developed specifically for online programs by leading instructional designers and subject matter experts, faculty support, and cloud-based learning management systems with advanced data analytics to analyze trends in student performance and evaluate learning outcomes.
About the University of Florida
The University of Florida (UF) is a major, public, comprehensive, land grant and research university. Florida's oldest and most comprehensive university, UF is among the nation's most academically diverse public universities. With an enrollment of nearly 50,000 students annually, UF is home to 16 colleges and more than 150 research centers and institutes.
About Pearson
Pearson is the world's leading learning company, providing educational materials and services and business information through the Financial Times Group.

The irrepressibly creative chef of wd-50 talks about pairing ingredients and life after culinary bomb throwing
Wylie Dufresne
If writing about music is like dancing about architecture, then how do you talk about flavor? Inspired by "The Taste Makers," Raffi Khatchadourian's fascinating story in the New Yorker on the highly creative people who invent the flavors in your soda and candy, we're chatting with chefs on how they think about flavor in their work.
This installment: Wylie Dufresne of New York's wd-50, who years ago became known for serving oysters pounded flat into sheets and pairing venison tartare with soybean ice cream, talks to us about how he constructs the flavors of his dishes, the way novelty and memory taste, and growing out of his younger, rasher phase.
"The manufacture of flavors demands a childlike openness." That's a line from Khatchadourian's story, a paraphrase of Willy Wonka. Does that relate to how you think of your flavor combinations? Is there a process you go through when designing them?
I'm not always sure where inspiration comes from. My mother, who is very creative, always says, "Creativity isn't linear. You can't just sit down and decide to be creative." It can come from so many angles: what I had for dinner last night, the book I read, going to the museum. It might start with a technique. It can start with Alex [Stupak, wd-50's pastry chef] asking what fruit or vegetable would be good with a dessert he's working on.
There is a part that's calculated. There's a framework we use. We always have to balance the dish: sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, umami, sourness. Especially sourness. I got that from [working under] Jean-Georges Vongerichten, without a doubt. You always notice laser-sharp balance with acidity in his food. He's always preached that, so that's always one of our first questions. How do we give the dish some acidity?
For example, something we're working on now is langoustine with bay leaf granola and a preserved-lemon dust — no, that's too precious sounding — but like a cookie crumbled up into sand. This sand has all the complexities of the fruit. But the plate needs some juiciness or a sauce. We got a little stuck there.
To relax at home one night, I opened a Chinese cookbook I like, and it fell on a page on sesame seeds. So then I start thinking about tahini, maybe a black sesame tahini for the dish? There's a randomness there. I didn't open the book looking for inspiration, but now sesame is on my radar. That's how it works; sometimes you can't force it. But I tell all my cooks to jot down their ideas all the time, and to be open to them when you're away from work.
Rachel Hagen, the flavorist profiled in the story, talks about her plans to try slipping menthol into butterscotch, something she describes as being "interesting, that makes you think.'" What do you think qualifies a flavor as "interesting"? What flavor combinations make a person think?
We have inherent curiosity for the new. Granted, we're not necessarily going to create new flavors, we're not finding many new ingredients. The pantry doesn't really change, but the pairings and arrangements can change.
What we like to do is either something like eggs Benedict and present it in a way that turns it on its ear, [slow-cooked egg yolks with deep-fried hollandaise and Canadian-bacon crisps –Ed.] or we take seemingly disparate flavors and put them together.
In the article, they were tasting a citrus fruit and talking about finding notes of clove, Gouda cheese, yeast. Oh my god, that sounds great. Yeast, citrus and clove? That's a beginning of a dish right there. To me, that sounds very disparate, but to them, those are closely related elements, tied together by this fruit. Sometimes these flavors just need some contextualizing.
So what connects quails to bananas to tartar sauce?
You didn't like that dish? That's OK. We shouldn't always agree on everything; that would be no fun. It all seemed logical when I tried it. You know, sometimes one's ego gets in the way and you go, "I don't care when people tell me I don't like it," but then you look back and see that it was a dog. But with that dish, I mean, David Chang liked it and that's all I need to know. [Laughs.]
There are a couple of things that Rachel Hagen does that intrigue me: She keeps paint chips in her office to help her memorize flavors, using the colors to symbolize a particular aroma. She also describes a scene while camping, and talks about wanting to "paint" that scene as a flavor combination. Do you translate flavor into other forms? Does flavor symbolize things to you?
That didn't seem weird to me. She was talking about pine and cedar for the woods, lemon for the sun, and vanilla for the fog. I don't know that I would be going to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, when I eat that, but could think of a walk in the woods or something.
We can eat something and trigger a memory. Heston [Blumental, of The Fat Duck, outside London] has a dish inspired by sweet shops of his youth, licorice and coconut. Those were not the flavors of my candy store, but it can still be transporting.
But you have to be a diner who wants to be transported, to bring that childlike openness to the table. You have to want to submit to the illusion. Think of when Grant [Achatz, of Alinea, in Chicago] burns leaves for his dishes. Some people might think of campfires, which is nice, and others might think of their neighbors burning their leaves on their lawn all the time, and it pisses them off.
People come up to me and say, "I know what you're trying to do! That was supposed to be like a hot dog!" And I think, "No, that's not what I was doing," but I don't want to squash what they're thinking. I like that I can't control that. It's great to have people have their own interpretation.
So how do you push people to have an interpretation? As you said earlier, your dishes are familiar things presented unconventionally, and unfamiliar things presented more approachably. Would you ever make a dish that was totally off the wall, with nothing normal to hold on to?
We've done that. We've done dishes that take all reference points away from people, sometimes to greater effect than others. But I hesitate to use the word "challenge," because I don't want to engage the diner too aggressively. In my youth, I did that too much. I hope I've matured in my approach to that. We've grown more comfortable, less showy for the sake of being showy. I like to be eating out of my comfort zone, but not everyone is like that. Not everyone wants to think about their food that way. Recognizing that is part of being a responsible restaurant.
I spent three hours at the Matthew Barney show at the Guggenheim Museum. I walked around really confused and dismayed, not sure what he was trying to tell me. I didn't feel like I could evaluate it, because I just didn't get it. And I guess that's something that some people experience at my restaurant.
I wasn't upset that I didn't get it. I was disappointed in myself. I think some people are prepared for that for certain art forms. But you don't have to go to a museum if you don't want to; you do have to eat.
I like the idea of having a couple dishes that are like, "Whoa, this doesn't make sense to me." But how does it taste? It's fun to go hog wild, but at the end, it has to taste good.

Cops probing new sex claims against CliffordComment on this story
London - British police say they are investigating new sexual abuse allegations against disgraced publicist Max Clifford.
Police said on Saturday they have received new information about possible offenses committed by Clifford.
The prominent public relations executive was convicted of eight counts of historic sex abuse earlier this week and sentenced to eight years in prison. He was convicted of crimes committed between 1977 and 1984.
The 71-year-old was one of the most influential figures in the British entertainment world. He advised a number of high-profile clients, including Simon Cowell.
Clifford is one of a number of prominent entertainment figures charged with historic sex abuse. The investigations stem from the case of the late Jimmy Savile, a BBC personality who was found to have abused hundreds of girls and women. - Sapa-AP

City may formally oppose offshore drilling
Date: October 2, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
City Commissioners will discuss a resolution Monday Oct. 5 that would oppose the approval of offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in areas other than those already approved for it.
The resolution would also support the current policy of not allowing the expansion of oil and gas drilling in the Gulf and would encourage the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar.
The city cites the fact that the local economy depends on tourism, so it wants to keep the water free of "unsightly oil rigs" and the possibility of oil spills.
Currently 1 Response
- 1.
- I think it's unnecessary to oppose such exploration/drilling. Last I read, any such platforms would be 25 or more miles offshore, placing them beyond the horizon line from view, save maybe for a top-mounted blinking warning light.
We have a continental shelf in this area that goes out into the Gulf up to 120 miles, plenty of room out there for the activity with minimal possibility of any oil spill reaching shore.

St. Louis' OT goal lifts Rangers over Habs
NEW YORK (AP) — Martin St. Louis found another way to lift up his New York Rangers teammates. This time he carried them within one win of the Stanley Cup finals.
What St. Louis lacks in physical size, he compensates with heart. Since he rejoined the club one day after the unexpected death of his mother, without missing a game, St. Louis has provided inspiration on and off the ice.
Now he also is delivering the clutch offense he has always been known for.
St. Louis scored his sixth goal of the playoffs 6:02 into overtime to give the Rangers a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday night.
New York leads the series 3-1 and can advance to the championship round for the first time since claiming the Cup 20 years ago as early as Tuesday night in Montreal. The Rangers won the first two games on the road before losing Game 3 in overtime Thursday night.
"It's a big difference up 3-1 instead of 2-2 going back to Montreal," St. Louis said. "We were obviously disappointed with the result last game. We thought we played a good game. That's just hockey. Tonight we are on a good end, and it's a big plus."
A loose puck came to St. Louis, alone in the right circle, and he fired a snap shot over goalie Dustin Tokarski's shoulder.
"I just got open," said St. Louis, who has 39 career playoff goals. "I tried to trust my instincts. I hit some good shots, he made some good saves. I was fortunate this one got by him."
The Rangers won after squandering a pair of one-goal leads.
"I just remember there was a turnover somewhere around the neutral zone. I'm not sure," Tokarski said. "St. Louis had some time and picked a corner on me. It's a game of inches, and we came up a bit short."
Carl Hagelin put the Rangers in front with a short-handed tally in the first period, and Derick Brassard made it 2-1 in the second. Hagelin also assisted on St. Louis' winner.
Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves and earned his 41st postseason win, tying the franchise record of Mike Richter, who was in attendance. He also earned an assist on Brassard's goal for his first career postseason point.
"I'm really proud to be out there with those guys, and hopefully can keep it going a little more," Lundqvist said.
The Rangers are 6-1 since the death of St. Louis' mother galvanized the team. St. Louis was acquired from Tampa Bay at the March trade deadline for former captain Ryan Callahan.
"He has been great for us ever since he got here," said Hagelin, who also scored his sixth goal. "He shows a lot of tenacity and emotion every time he steps on the ice."
Francis Bouillon tied it for Montreal in the second, and fellow defenseman P.K. Subban made it 2-2 in the third with a power-play goal. David Desharnais assisted on both for Montreal. Tokarski stopped 26 shots for the Canadiens, who went 1 for 8 on the power play.

Snow is a rarely featured weather pattern in GTA games. Only a few games of the series incorporated it. Snow first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in the main story mission Saint Mark's Bistro and has made a few other appearances since then.
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in the main story mission Saint Mark's Bistro
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories upon reaching level 9 of the Car Salesman side missions
- Grand Theft Auto V during the events of Prologue and Bury the Hatchet, for in both missions, the town of Ludendorff, North Yankton is covered in snow and is also in the miss of a light snowstorm. It was also turned on in the whole of Los Santos and Blaine County on Christmas Day in Grand Theft Auto Online as a 'Holiday Gift' from Rockstar.
There have also been numerous modifications to the other games in the series to provide such weather features. Snow is also able to be activated in Grand Theft Auto V using the in-game weather cheat code.

2nd illegal kitchen
I'm getting a headache over this! I did an appraisal of a tract home that had a permitted addition of a bed and bath. However, when I got there and proceeded with the inspection, I found that the owner had gone further with her improvements (after the permits were issued of course) by closing off the family room and adding a kitchen to it. Basically it's like a little apartment with the newly permitted bed/bath and the original family room & unpermitted kitchen.
After checking online and double-checking with a real human at the city, I confirmed that this is illegal zoning since this area is zoned for single family. So now I'm perplexed. Do I do the appraisal as-is and figure out some cost to cure (which I hate because I am not a contractor) or do I do it "subject to" alterations with a hypothetical condition. Is one way better than the other? This is the one time when I'm happy for the HVCC. I can just imagine the phone call I'd get from the loan officer on this one back in the old days (can't you just overlook the second kitchen?)
What would you do?

I determined that this is illegal zoning
It may be an illegal use given the zoning but zoning itself is not illegal.
You need to do some more research and ask the right people the right questions.

San Diego Municipal Code, Chapter 11, Article 3, Division 1, Page 7: Definitions, "Dwelling unit, means a room or suite of rooms in a building or portion thereof, used, intended or designed to be used or occupied for living purposes by one family, and containing only one kitchen."
Based on this and the fact that the zoning is RS-1 Single Family, the zoning specialist told me the second unit would be considered illegal use in the City of San Diego. In my opinion it ruins the house completely. They walled off the original kitchen which was open to the original family room and it looks awful. The two kitchens are basically right next to each other. Unless a potential buyer is looking for a granny flat I can't see who would want to buy this mess. My comps are all much higher than I think this place is worth. Major functional obsolescence and loss of functional utility.
You suggest I do more research and ask the right people the right questions. Can you point me in the right direction?
The client is a direct lender and the intended use is for a refinance of the current conventional mortgage.
See Section 141.0302 on Companion Units in the City of San Diego, CA Municipal Code
Ordinance: •Accessory Dwellings (ADs) were mandated by the state as an affordable housing program approximately 15 years ago
•San Diego has six different types of Accessory Dwellings (ADs), each designed to meet a different need:1. Accessory Apartments are for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, or immediate family members and can be rented
2. Accessory Living Quarters are rent free units for household employees only
3. Second Dwelling Units are ADs which can be rented to any persons
4. Guest Living Quarters have no kitchens, are not rentable, and are for temporary use only
5. Health Care Dwellings are temporary units for providers or family members who are care givers
6. Farm Employee Units
• The types are convertible into another type with an application and a building inspection
• Only one Second Dwelling Unit per lot
• Second Dwelling Units can be 30% of the main unit up to 1,200 square feet• No entrances are allowed on any side of the house with an abutting street
§141.0302 Companion UnitsA companion unit is a dwelling unit that is an accessory use for a single dwelling unit on a residential lot that provides complete living facilities, including a kitchen, independent of the primary dwelling unit.
Companion units are permitted as a limited use in accordance with Process One in the zones indicated with an "L" in the Use
Regulations Tables in Chapter 13, Article 1 (Base Zones) and Chapter 15, Article 1, Division 4 (General and Supplemental Regulations), subject to the regulations in Section 141.0302. Within the Coastal Overlay Zone, companion units are subject to the provisions of Chapter 12, Article 6, Division 7.
(b) Within single family residential zones, a companion unit is allowed where the existing lot area is equal to or greater than two times the minimum lot area required for the zone
(c) For
premises within a multi-family zone, one companion unit is permitted on
property that would otherwise allow only one single dwelling unit based on
the size of the premises, provided there is an existing single dwelling unit. If
the premises are modified by area or zone to permit additional dwelling units,
the companion unit shall then be considered an additional
dwelling unit and
shall not be restricted by the applicable companion unit regulations.
(d) A primary dwelling unit must exist on the premises. Concurrent construction
of the primary dwelling unit and companion unit is not allowed.
(e) No more than one companion unit is permitted on a premises.
(f) A companion unit may be attached to or detached from the primary dwelling
unit on the premises.

I still don't like goverments telling people how many kitchens they can have. An illegal 2nd unit is an illegal 2nd unit, but a kitchen doesn't necessarily make a 2nd unit. I know folks who still have summer kitchens. I know others that have canning kitchens in the basement. It's their house, and they should darn well be able to do what they like.
"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is much the same." Oscar Wilde
Is the owner Italian, 2nd kitchen is normal for them in my area. How about Kosher?
That's all I got.
Alot does not exist as a word.
two separate issues;
a. original permit for bedroom & bath most likely voided by the additional family room segregation
b. addition of a "kitchen" to the family room creating either a "companion" or "accessory unit" (see code) poses the second problem to be addressed.
Approach: a. subject to municipal C.of O. for bedroom & bath, restoring interior family room access to core of residence, and removal of second "kitchen-ette" range restoring municipal building & zoning compliance. << most probable approach based on OP.
Approach: b. IF the local market indicates buyer demand for "companion" units (see code) and can be demonstrated via closed sale comparables with similar use - "subject to obtaining C.of O. for Accessory/Companion Unit."
Kill the Contract Review Bull$eye - Now.
Baring the above, I would then recommend I appraise the property "Subject To" the property owner providing evidence of proper permits and final inspections by the J.A. with a certificate of occupancy that included the second kitchen. Using a EA that the owner can provide all of the same to the client. I then appraise the entire improvement as legal as based on the EA the owner can provide all the stuff.
Baring both above, I then inform the client if they want an "As-Is" that it just became a complex real estate appraisal requiring extensive research, much larger fee, and considerably extended turn time. Payment in advance, of course. Plus they better wake up to the fact that the hazard insurance may now be invalidated.
By the time I am done with the above, I rarely have any problems left I can't handle..

One Pot Asian Shrimp Pasta
Oh, July...you've been so darn full of plans and commitments. You're exhausting me. There's been birthday's, dinner dates, Fourth of July weekend away from home, an anniversary, appointments, and planning for a bachelorette party.
As I blogged about earlier in the week, it was mine and David's one year anniversary. I'm a planner through and through, so our plan was to hit up the outlet mall in Napa on Sunday and shop for new clothes for David's new job starting in August, as well as find him an outfit for our friend's Max and Maren's wedding -- also in August. After shopping we had a reservation set for 6:30 at El Dorado Kitchen in Sonoma.
Well, as life would have it, none of the above happened. I guess my body was telling me that between work, working out, and making plans in between every free minute, it got sick and tired. Ugh, I hate when that happens. Especially on a day when I had so much fun planned! I won't go into details but my day was literally spent in bed except for around 7 pm when we decided to cut into our year old top tier of our cake.
The cake doesn't look too bad, right?! I was super excited and surprised that my wrap job had totally saved our cake from freezer burn. I was also surprised to find out the top tier was carrot cake. We had two different cake flavors at our wedding but for some reason I thought the top tier was a lemon raspberry. I was happy to find out it was not! Anyway, besides sharing a slice of cake, mine and David's first wedding anniversary was a total flop. We're already looking back and laughing at how bad it was. It really could have been out of a comedy show it was so pathetic. At least we both know we have more anniversaries in the future.
Anyway! Since I was sick on Sunday, which is normally my meal planning/grocery shopping day, I had to do it on Monday. I quickly picked out recipes when I got home, made my list, and headed to the store. When I got home from the store I immediately got started on this one pot meal. One pot meals are my favorite type of dinners. I think David likes that they require less dishes too.
I'm so glad I took the time to snap a few photos before digging in because it was delicious! Not only was the meal easy to put together, just about 30 minutes, but the flavor was out of this world tasty. The hardest part about this dinner is the chopping. There is a lot of chopping involved but once you get everything in that pot, you're good to go. While it was simmering away I made a side salad, and before we knew it it was time to feast! Garnish these noodle bowls with cilantro, chopped peanuts, and a wedge of lime and you're in for a treat!
One Pot Asian Shrimp Pasta
Adapted from Dinners, Dishes, & Desserts
12 oz linguine, broken in half
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
1 large carrot, shredded or julienne
3 green onions, sliced thin
1 pound large shrimp, deveined and shelled
Garnishments: cilantro, peanuts, lime
In a large pot over high heat; combine linguine through shrimp and cover with lid. Once it reaches a boil, take lid off, reduce heat to a simmer, stir and place lid back on. Stir every 2 minutes for up to 10 minutes or until noodles are cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat and garnish.

This looks super delicious!ReplyDelete
I wanted carrot cake for our wedding topper, but we chose to go with the cake from our venue which didn't offer it. Chocolate was a good second choice :)
Yes! We saved the top of our cake too, it was the best decision ever.ReplyDelete
Hey now, spending the day in bed sounds like a perfect anniversary to me! Giggidy. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed the cake. I could go for some wedding cake about now...ReplyDelete
I wouldn't mind staying in bed if I weren't feeling terrible. lol.ReplyDelete
I thought people would think carrot cake is weird for wedding cake but it's so delicious! I'm looking forward to seeing some of your wedding pics.ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and it was such a winner! LOVED it! Thanks for sharing!!ReplyDelete
so happy to hear that!ReplyDelete

I think you already know that the Tea Party is for job creation and smaller government. Two things that are seriously lacking from Obama. I doubt they agree with that theory that tax hikes don't hurt job creation.

Check out this book review, and keep in mind, it was published before Citizens United v.FEC, probably the most activist decision in the last century:
"Because it has implemented a new conservative constitutional jurisprudence while maintaining many of the liberal policies of the Warren and Burger Courts, Keck has dubbed the Rehnquist Court the "most activist court in history." This is so for three specific reasons. First, since 1994, the Court has overturned more federal laws than at any other time in its history (p.203). Second, as illustrated by the case of BOERNE v. FLORES (1997), the Court has "declared its own authority in a confident tone, as its leading justices are committed to a strong conception of judicial supremacy" (p.203). Third, the Court has been willing to intervene in many important areas of law and policy. As Keck explains, "the later Rehnquist Court recognizes no 'political thickets' in which it is unwilling to exercise its power. BUSH v. GORE [2000] is the best example here" (208). Keck concludes the book with an attempt to explain the Rehnquist Court's policymaking activism. He concludes that it is neither due to "Law without Politics" nor "Politics without Law." Instead it is a result of the development of constitutional jurisprudence in the post-New Deal period and the interaction between law and politics. These factors are exemplified both by the continued liberal activism and the limited conservative activism of Justices O'Connor and Kennedy (pp.271-272).
My evaluation of Keck's book is generally positive.

Hi All
I am hoping someone here might be able to help.
We were hoping to upgrade all our Macs to OSX Lion this summer, but when I went to order the licenses I was told that Apple have stopped the sale of Volume licenses with software assurance.
I rung Apple to clarify this and they confirmed it. To my utter astonishment all they could say was "Buy the Mountain Lion Licenses in July". We don't really want to do this as we feel we can't trust a brand new released Apple OS on our entire campus. We have a mixed estate of OSX Leopard and OSX Snow Leopard. Sadly we never purchased any software assurance, which I am trying to rectify now.
Is anyone else stuck with this problem, and if so how are you intending to proceed?

Nebraska horse racing future still uncertain
Horse trainer and owner Sean Foley is worried about the drop in Nebraska racing dates.
The loss of the Lincoln races between racing dates in Grand Island and Columbus has forced Sean Foley, of Gretna, and other owners to take their horses to Prairie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa, and other out-of-state tracks.
In an interview with the Lincoln Journal Star, Foley voiced his alarm: "If everybody is leaving, do you get them back?"
He's concerned about whether a new Lincoln track will be built to replace the State Fair Park track. The fair track closed with the move of the Nebraska State Fair to Grand Island.
A simulcast building is scheduled to open Sept. 15 on the Lincoln track property.
