Basing the creation of someone's net dream on (most often bad) source code has "gone from being seen as necessary (...), to a necessary evil(...)."Stephen001, but why is it seen as such by that many people?
The problem seems simple at first glance.
They fail to create a project from scratch, as they lack knowledge of the language used to achieve this.
The reason for this absence is less obvious and less trivial though.
Short attention span (due to young age) and a low frustration endurance come to mind, but can this topic be really dashed so easily?
BYOND is created for and advertised as simplifying the process of creating certain types of games, so this is the measure that we should apply.
BYOND grants fast visual success compared to languages like C, but the main guide doesn't make much use of this.
Now, how can this be changed?
One main benefit would be a "click and play"-"drag and drop" like interface for BYOND, as seen in a large variety of game creation tools.
But as the attempt would be resource intense, it is logical that the BYOND team can not aim for this direction.
Better tutorials and guiding material would be another way to go.
Not only would new innovative media (such as interactive video) look better, but the quality, sloop of progress and topic could need adjustment (not to talk about completeness even).
A tutorial based on common "tasks" for animé games (like "jutsu") and resulting in a skeleton game is likely attracting more attention than a lot of developer articles.
And again, this is a very resource intense task. Too intense for the BYOND team to tackle on, in fact.
If nothing can be done, is it a lost battle fought by a few determined people?
I would not think so, as both could be done by a group of developers on BYOND.
Outsourcing tasks to a community is a new and successful business strategy that should work here, if people could force themselves to cooperate and work under one official supervisor.

Recently, a statement given by the famous singer Kalpana Patowary has created waves all over the Bhojpuri industry. Few days ago, Kalpana had given a statement that "some political manipulative industry persons insulted me purely on the basis of their own opinion and not on facts". She also said that the fact that she belonged Assam and not to UP or Bihar also kept many people guessing that this would be a threat to the people of UP and Bihar. This statement of Kalpana has evoked many Bhojpuri people who have shown their disagreement on this fact.
Jaibhojpuri.com, a famous Bhojpuri social networking site has now claimed that Kalpana abused them due to the differences between them. This website claimed that Kalpana was previously banned from their website for promoting herself on their website about a year ago and that was the time Kalpana abused the website by sending a message containing abusive words. The website claimed that they did not publish this event at that time since they respected women's dignity but now it is the height of their endurance. Jaibhojpuri.com also provided a screenshot which, as claimed by the site, showed the abusive words used by Kalpana for them. Though, when we talked to computer experts, they said that the screenshot alone can not prove that it is true and a lot more information will be needed to authenticate this claim. Whatever may be the reason, the phase of counter charges have begun and it will be interesting to watch out for the events that will now take place.

Before you click the link to see the book take a guess at the cost. See how close you are.
Very expensive Kindle ebook title: Practical Variable Speed Drives and Power Electronics (Practical Professional Books)
The sales rank for the book is 32,000. I wonder if Amazon really sold a copy or if certain Amazon employees have free downloads and they got the book just to say they had a title this expensive or just to see what a book that cost this much looks like.
Wow, that makes The Effing Librarian's book look cheap.
These days, it's cheaper than a college education, so maybe it's a deal.
that's my incentive to create an Amazon account and upload a Kindle version of my book... you know someone is going to download it by accident... not getting the money won't matter, but some news show will want to interview the author who thinks his book is worth $50k... and then it's on to my own reality TV show.. !!
it is only $50 or so for a print edition
MUST be an error.
Does look like the price is an error or it is the publishers way of saying, "We don't want to sell this book in electronic format."
There are books that are in the hundreds of dollars for Kindle that are the same price in print. One example: Molecular Mechanisms of Cardiac Hypertrophy and Failure
The same author has another Kindle ebook for about $46, so this is almost certainly a misplaced decimal point. But it makes a great story...sell one copy and you're pretty much set.
It's over $10,000 cheaper than the digital list price of $52,395!
I think it is simply too expensive for what it offers. Then again, so is the Sony E-Book.
Considering that it is a relatively simple device, and is really a means by which people can buy ebooks and e-subscriptions to magazines, that offers access to a number of free internet sources like wikipedia, blogs and some free books that are no longer under copyright, 350 dollars is just excessive. The electronics in the device are not really more complicated than the electronic in many other "Internet Devices" like MSNTV or the various Wifi Internet Radios on the market, which started out at about the same price as the Kindle, but came down to as low as 75 dollars within two years of coming on the market, by the time of their second generation.
My first wifi radio, purchased three years ago originally sold for 359 dollars in the U.S. It had already been available in Britain for a year. By the time this first model was imported into the United States and put on sale, it was still sold for 359 here, but at least a dozen competitor models were being sold, for as low as 100 dollars. Today, models are available for 75 dollars.
The first generation Kindle sold for about 350, was lowered to 299 and now the second generation is back up being sold at 359 again. Amazon also seems to really not have a very good supplier either, because while they were not able to predict initial sales, they should have a good idea now of the demand, and also the large demand and the larger scale of production should have brought prices down somewhat.
To put is simply, I probably will not purchase something like a Kindle until the prices come down to someplace between 125 and 150 dollars. The original e-book readers were relatively highly priced, but they also came down in price within two or three years. Amazon seems intent to keep this device as a higher end product, something that most people will not buy, or limited to either librarians, who are paid relatively low salaries, but have some sort of professional interest in it, and outside of librarians, purchases will be limited to an economic elite. Less expensive models of the Kindle could do wonders for children in economically deprived areas, areas where library services are scarce or distant.
The Kindle would also be a perfect device for libraries in relatively remote areas. My own public library offers all sorts of downloadable best sellers, music, movies, etc, that have time limits for use on a home computer. A less expensive model that would allow patrons to access such materials from home would do a great deal to boost library services.

State Universities Losing Some State Subsidies
Daniel de Vise is reporting on WaPo this week that the UC-Berkeley and other state schools may be "in peril."
Across the nation, a historic collapse in state funding for higher education threatens to diminish the stature of premier public universities and erode their mission as engines of upward social mobility.
At the University of Virginia, state support has dwindled in two decades from 26 percent of the operating budget to 7 percent. At the University of Michigan, it has declined from 48 percent to 17 percent.
Not even the nation's finest public university is immune…Continue reading UC-Berkeley and other 'public Ivies' in fiscal peril >>
Year of School Choice and other Top Education Stories of 2011
The Heritage Foundation's Morning Bell has posted the Top 10 Education Stories of 2011, which include the Obama Administration's restricting access to student loans for some students and forgiving student loans for others, and much more. Check it out, on The Foundry.
The Pope Center Asks: Can Philanthropy Rescue Higher Education?
Lenore T. Ealy of the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy posted and essay this morning asking if the type of philanthropy that was activated by F. A. Hayek's essay, "The Intellectuals and Socialism" in 1949 rescue modern-day higher ed:
By the end of World War II, freedom and its institutions were under siege in the United States. Woodrow Wilson had rationalized the administrative state; Roosevelt's New Deal had redirected Americans' loyalties from their localities and states toward the federal government; and the socialist dreams that had given rise to both Nazi and Communist totalitarianism had infected many of America's intellectual elite.
These events awakened a number of philanthropists to the pressing need to understand, restate, and amplify the philosophic foundations of a free society and to re-ground our social institutions, including educational and charitable entities, on classical liberal principles. Ultimately, they focused on restoring respect for limited government rather than trying to change the institutions that had become permeated with Progressivism. They chose to support small nodes of classical liberal scholarship, wherever they appeared, inside or outside higher education…Continue reading Can Philanthropy Rescue Higher Education? >>
Our Bob Schaffer: Chairman, Colorado State Board of Education, and former U.S. Congressman
Colorado's Bob Schaffer is a very active citizen. He is the elected Chairman of the Colorado State Board of Education, founding Principal of Liberty Common High School in Ft. Collins, Colorado, former U.S. Member of the House of Representatives where he served on the House Education and Workforce Committee and an active commentator on education for the National Journal. Oh, and Bob Schaffer has served as a Trustee of Yorktown University since 2004. Here is his latest commentary on education for the National Journal.
There are hundreds of things governments can do to reduce costs on college campuses, but when it comes to driving tuition costs down to their natural levels, nothing works better than the marketplace.
Sure, states could consider shielding students from the ridiculous "fees" that get tacked onto base tuition, for example. These fees can add up to $2,000 a year in costs for things few students need – like funding student clubs, campus-based political societies and redundant insurance policies.
Personnel costs on many campuses are excessive…Continue reading Fear Not The Electron >>
RIP Marion Montgomery
The Intercollegiate Institute and Online Athens have recently published memorials to University of Georgia's Dr. Marion Montgomery, who died the day before Thanksgiving this year.
Erin France reports, after speaking to Dr. Montgomery's daughter:
…Montgomery, 86, penned novels, short stories, poetry and essays and knew many authors including Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy and Eudora Welty.
Besides his writing, Montgomery also was known for his love of teaching.
He taught at UGA for 33 years, but even after his retirement in 1987, Montgomery continued to lecture at events held across the world.
Many of his students continued to keep in touch long after they left his classroom….(more)
Jed Donahue adds:
…Marion Montgomery, scholar, critic, and award-winning poet and novelist, died last week at the age of eighty-six. A prolific author, he published more than twenty books during his long career, including a monumental three-volume cultural critique, 'The Prophetic Poet and the Popular Spirit.' He also wrote such memorably titled works as 'With Walker Percy at the Tupperware Party,' 'Hillbilly Thomist,' and 'Why Poe Drank Liquor.'…(more)
Choosing your Battles
Inside Higher Ed writes that public university administrators are wondering why students are protesting them instead of the people who make the laws?
Their voices have gone hoarse. They've broken windows and clashed with police officers. They've faced pepper spray and attracted national news attention. The story is the same across the country – students, upset about tuition hikes, are protesting.
And while the images may last, the message has not had much impact on the what colleges are charging. At California State University at Long Beach, where hundreds of students joined by union members engaged in a raucous protest that disrupted a meeting of the California State University Board of Trustees, the trustees still approved a 9 percent tuition increase for the system.
In New York, where City University of New York students were joined by protesters from Occupy Wall Street and other universities on a national day of higher education protest, the university's board still voted to increase tuition $300 a year through 2015.
In a blame game between lawmakers and university leaders about who is responsible for the rising cost of higher education, students have pointed fingers at administrators. But when state lawmakers cut higher education budgets, as many have for the past three years, public university presidents say they have few tools to bring the spending side of the balance sheet in line with revenues in time to pay the bills…Continue reading Occupy Someone else >>
Congratulations, Newt!
On November 17, I wrote in "The Case for Newt Gingrich" that Newt could do better than Mitt Romney. Romney announced a foreign policy team that lacked a clear interest oriented foreign policy. On November 22nd, the Gingrich campaign announced its own national security team that confirmed my judgment. Newt is better than Romney on foreign policy.
Norman Bailey, Bill Schneider, Ken DeGraffenreid and Herman Perchner, among others on the team, are superb strategic thinkers. At least three have the stuff it takes to be National Security Advisor to the President or U.S. Secretary of State. Newt is to be congratulated for attracting to these advisors to his team. Now we await the publication of national security and foreign policy papers worthy of Presidential candidate.

Pennygirl - as Compass stated if it was at all possible this person would read this - there is NO WAY I would have posted it. She lives in a different part of the city, doesn't believe in blogs, forums (thinks they are to quote her "they are stupid")
Cate - "There is also a lot to be said for being a gracious guest in kindly accepting what is offered." Thank you, that hits it right on the spot.
If this person and I were BFF's, hung around each other all the time, someone I had known for a long, long time where I felt comfortable to say something then I probably would have said something about the wine and/or the hand in the wine. That wasn't the case in this particular situation.

Dark Castle's Stevie Floyd on the genius of Death, her band's artwork and Woven Hand
Dark Castle (due tonight at the Larimer Lounge, with Yob and Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire) from St. Augustine, Florida, is often lumped in with doom or death metal -- or whatever heavy music seems to be at least a few steps removed from mainstream metal. But the eclectic blend of sounds and influences heard in Dark Castle's songwriting ensures that it will never quite be pigeonholed by an even passably discerning listener. The band's 2009 album Spirited Migration, especially when witnessed live, often sounds like incredibly dark space rock, with a raw energy that much of that music never really achieves.
The group's latest effort, Surrender to All Life Beyond Form, is a leap forward, with the non-Western and electronic elements of the duo's music fully integrated in ways that expand the palette of what a band of its ilk can do and still be accepted by metal fans. We recently spoke with the gregarious and insightful Stevie Floyd, Dark Castle's guitarist and singer, before she left on the latest tour, and discussed the influence of Death, Woven Hand and the songwriting process of the new record.
Westword: You recorded Spirited Migration with Phillip Cope of Kylesa. How did you meet him, and how did you come to record with him?
Stevie Floyd: He just approached us and said, "I really want to work with and record you guys." Kylesa lived a couple of hours away -- them, Baroness and Mastodon. They played a couple of house shows with my old band. I sorta knew them from that, and he asked if he could record our next album. He has a really good grasp on getting the vibe of a live and raw recording.
He hears a lot of things a lot of people don't hear. There were moments when we were struggling, and he'd come in and say things like, "What is this song about? Tell me where this comes from. Go to that place, and don't even worry about what you're playing." We'd play it again, and it would turn out awesome. He has a way of pulling that out of you.
In a number of interviews you often cite the band Death. How did you find out about them to begin with, and if someone wanted to explore that band's music, where would you tell them to start?
Not only are they my all-time favorite death-metal band, but the reason they're so special is because when I was a kid, I lived in kind of a crappy, poor neighborhood, and I didn't have a lot of access to metal and stuff like that. So I used to ride my bike a couple of miles to this record store and buy shit that looked cool, you know? If the album cover pulled me -- and that was one of them -- I'd go home and listen to it. There wasn't the Internet then, obviously, so I tried to keep researching how I could. The reason I liked them so much was because every album is of the time.
Leprosy is super death-metal and old-school-sounding. I like Human because it has them branching into being a little more forward-thinking. And then I like the albums after Human a lot. A lot of people that are a little older than me who grew up on Death are like, "No, it's all about the old albums." But once they started having more exotic, crazy time signatures combined with the riffs and the composition of the albums and the songwriting techniques -- they were always ahead of their time, regardless of when the album came out. After Human, I'm really into Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic and The Sound of Perseverance. I love all those albums. There's nothing like them, and no one's ever come close to doing anything like that.
As for where to start, I don't know, maybe get Symbolic, maybe Individual Thought Patterns and Human. Definitely get Leprosy. The stuff he did right before he died is really out there. Maybe just go buy all of them. [laughs] Chuck Schuldiner is a genius; it's everything. It's his songwriting, the way he writes riffs, his melodies, the way he leaves space vocals and where they fit in -- where the drums fit in. His lyrics and how he annunciates his lyrics. He's all-time for me, for sure.
You did the artwork for Spirited Migration?
Yeah! I'm actually standing in front of it right now. It's a painting on a big piece of wood.
Was there a particular theme you were going for with that image?
All the albums sort of have a theme. The EP was sort of the flight of Pegasus, as in flight, and we were taking off, because it was our first EP. With that album, we were both searching for a lot of stuff, both individually and with our music. We were digging deep and trying to draw influences from all directions. That's why it's called Spirited Migration.
The girl covering the horse's eye, a cap on her head behind her -- it's symbolic. But it's also sort of whatever everyone wants to take from it. For me, the art and lyrics are deep, but in terms of whatever anyone else wants to take from it, I like to keep it simple and minimal so people can take what they want from it.
Did you do the artwork for Surrender to All Life Beyond Form as well?
Yeah. I was trying to go pretty far out with that. Art is so important to me with music. Music, obviously, you only hear it, but with the art and the lyrics, it is all-encompassed into this one piece of art. I wanted to do a painting for each song to resemble what that song was about and have a theme, and every time you turn the page, the lyrics go all around it -- especially on the vinyl.
I did eleven paintings on that album. So there's an album cover, a gatefold and I think a nine-page booklet. Then Orien did the layout, and he nailed it. I wanted it to look like an ancient book with the pages all weathered. Bleach stains. Then I wanted symbols and mandalas all burned into the pages. There are watermarks. I wanted it to look like an old Bible or something.
Did you start doing visual art before you started playing music?
Pretty much at the same time. My dad has been an artist since he was a kid. He does mixed media. He's an amazing photographer and an amazing painter, and he's a graphic designer now. Since we were little kids, he always had art stuff everywhere, so I immediately took to that. As I got older and started doing tatooing and art shows, it was all day, every day. Then my mom got me started doing piano lessons when I was four or five, and I started doing that seriously, with recitals and competitions. I was in choir and stuff. I'm from the South, so I was in church every Sunday. It's kind of funny, but I was actually in a touring choir.
Right when I started finding out about metal and punk and stuff, around twelve years old, I got a guitar and didn't want to play piano anymore. My best friend, Christina, and I started playing, and her parents had old Spanish guitars lying around, and we'd mess around on them and go to the store and buy guitar magazines and try to learn the tablature. There wasn't Internet then, so that was all we could find. It'd be like Pantera, Metallica and Megadeth and stuff like that. Shortly after that, a lot of grunge was going on, like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, who I still listen to.
For the website Jersey Boot, you listed bands you were listening to, and you included Woven Hand. How did you hear about that band, and what is it about them that you find interesting?
The first time I heard them, I didn't even have words. They're so heavy and so deep and honest. Doing all these things I've never heard anyone do, other than, maybe, Dead Can Dance, with all the eclectic instruments he plays. And when that guy sings, it's like hearing some old man from a long time ago, far, far away. It sucks you in right away. It's almost like God himself is singing to you. I've tried to see that band live many times, but every time they came through, I was gone, and I missed them by a day in Chicago and a day in Portland. The first person that got me into that band was Sanford Parker from Minsk.
Did you ever hear 16 Horsepower?
Yeah. I haven't heard them as much as I have Woven Hand, but I like 16 Horsepower a lot.

Many businesses have come to the recent realization that customer analytics is at the heart of what will give them a competitive edge, yet they are often stymied by their inability to pursue sophisticated modeling tasks to address critical strategic questions. Responding to this need, WCAI helps companies leverage their customer-level datasets by serving as a "matchmaker" between these firms and top scholars from multiple disciplines (e.g. marketing, information systems, computer science, operations research) around the world. Through the WCAI, academics and skilled practitioners collaborate to ask and answer tough data-driven questions; in the course of this dialog, WCAI promotes the development of new analytic methods that are both rigorous and relevant. We also "translate" these research findings, making them accessible to managerial audiences, including high-level executives and analytics professionals.

Child Style: Snow Day
January means that snow days are around the corner. Don't find yourself unprepared.
Ready, Set, Skate!
It's freeezing in the Northeast today. So, in honor of the chilly weather (some friends were in flip flops on New Year's day!?!), we've been inspired. Here's our vision for a fun girl's ice skating outfit.
Child Style: Boys' Sleepover
Last week I shared some fun items for a girls' sleepover. This week, we've got some options for boys.
Child Style: Girls' Sleepover!
These are some things I would have packed for my first sleepover. Clearly, all your child really needs are their PJs, a toothbrush and pillow, but it's fun to dream.
Child Style: Boy's Holiday
Dressing up for holiday festivities is a rite of passage. I love the look of fair isle sweaters. If you must get one piece, please make it a holiday sweater, deal?
Child Style: Young Photographer
Cool outfit that would look equally charming on a boy or girl.

is it possible to be nostalgic for a non-existent era? a time or phase which doesn't actually exist, but you feel...no, wish it did? i've been mulling this feeling over in my mind and my heart, and the only way i can adequately describe how i feel is to say, i feel like an interloper within my own species. i know how ludicrous that might sound, and i'm not implying that i'm some sort of extraterrestrial creature or a being from another dimension, that sort of talk is best left to the astrophysicists, but more in the sense that there is a nagging feeling of being born in the wrong generation. what's confusing, however, is the generation i feel that i should've been born into, does not in fact, exist in our history, or at least, one that i've been made aware.
i don't talk as expected. i don't think as expected. i don't read what i'm expected to read. i don't watch what i'm expected to watch. i don't dress as i'm expected to dress. i am an anomaly within my own generation, but i've learned to keep the mask on at all times. i speak the modern language well and pretend to have an interest in things that shine and giggle. i keep to myself and try not to stir the waters too much for fear of exposure. i stay within the boundaries and watch the words that leave my lips, lest someone squint a bit too hard or think i'm being a condescending snit. the implication here is not that i am the only one that feels this way, i'm sure there are plenty of other people who think and feel exactly as i do. i'm simply, for lack of a better word, bemoaning the predicament in which i seem to find myself.
There is a place I dream of. A shore, a white sand beach. It's incessantly grey and cloudy weather-wise, but never ominously so. I am neither happy nor sad because memories are no more. All day, and it is a truly endless day, I'd sit down and trace patterns in the sand, and have no desire to be part of anything or anyone. To simply exist is enough.
My ideal afterlife, if I can so choose.
My back-up alternate universe would have me wandering the streets of 1950s era New York in a trenchcoat with a lovely out-of-work actress who yearns to light up the Broadway stage. We are very happy together despite the relentless cold and shortage of funds.
Maybe I've missed the point somewhat...
I tried.
so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.
--"Elephants" Rachel Yamagata
I definitely feel like that... I know it sounds horrible, because it was a terrifying time in many ways, but I feel like I should be in the forties... the music, the way people dressed and talked, the way society, not government mind you cuz that was all crap, but how the actual body of people worked... I feel like I oughtta be there.
Well, there or the sixties... which is also really bad cuz the whole thing with the civil rights movement meant a lot of crap for a lot of people. I dunno, as long as I lived in a really good place, like san francisco, I would have liked it. And, I know that a lot of people were discriminated against and all of that, but it was also a really hopeful time, you know? Everybody thought that all of the discrimination was going to get over with soon...
"Assets, what are our assets?"
"Well I've got a banana, and in a pinch you could put up some shelves..."
when I was younger I would sit in my room and think, "I want to go home."
And this is not quite related, but.
"About the 10,000 clubs to which I've pretended/genuinely deserved to be a member, about masks and trying to be happy/sad with such paltry, ridiculous truths, about feeling always like at least half a fraud, like I couldn't stop being undercover. Like I needed to hold something back--at least fifty percent--or else lose everything."
from http://marielynbernard.blogspot.com/2007/05/sunday-top-10-part-two-demen...
which basically says exactly what has been in my head for quite a long time. I always felt like I could never more than half belong to anything.
i did the same thing alot of the time.
"There was never any good old days
They are today, they are tomorrow
It's a stupid thing we say
Cursing tomorrow with sorrow"
-Gogol Bordello
Whoa, I feel the same way. I just read the post on the link you gave and I'm shocked because I've felt like that for a long time, but I never knew how to articulate it. Jeez now I'm really pondering this whole belonging thing, between your post and Icarus's.
the blog I linked to isn't mine, it's just one I was reading. But it definitely expressed almost exactly something I've been thinking for years.
I feel out of place in this generation. I'm not sure which generation I belong in though. I think I would of liked the 60's, it was so important and pivotal in civil rights, so much activism. I know that there is a lot of activism now, and that the energy and fight has been resurrected somewhat by Prop 8, DOMA, & Don't Ask, Don't Tell, but I don't feel like it's the same. It was dangerous then, but people knew where they stood generally, they knew and cared about what they were fighting for. And today...it feels detached. I feel disconnected, as if this is Generation Limbo, many people are on one side or the other, but a large number are in between, indifferent, apathetic even. Things just seem murky. I know so much is happening now, but then again...how much is REALLY happening? I dunno, just my sad and confused ramble about the political and social climate, as far as I perceive it. I think I would also have liked the 20's, possibly.

UPDATE: Benson was seen leaving the stadium in a walking boot after the game. No word on the severity of the injury from the team though.
Raji walked out of the locker room with limp, Benson walked out in a boot.
— Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) October 7, 2012
Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson was carted off the field with a foot injury and is questionable to return. With Green Bay's leading rusher from last season, James Starks, still sidelined with a toe injury, the Packers will likely have to turn to running back Alex Green, who has only two carries on the year.
Benson had run for 20 yards on seven carries before the injury.

Log in to share your thoughts Re: How can I teach my toddler to brush her own teeth? As much as you're probably ready to hand over the toothbrush to your toddler -- and even if she wants to do it herself -- she's not really able to take ownership just yet. So she'll need your help.Work together: Show her how to brush all sides of each tooth thoroughly. Some parents like to use a timer or a sand hourglass to make sure she's brushing long enough.Use a small, soft toothbrush with a dollop of fluoride-free toothpaste, and brush inside, outside and on top of each tooth yourself. (If your kid hates the toothbrush, you can use or some cotton gauze.) Then let her try on her own. If she's very strong-willed and clamps down so not to let you brush, try giving her the toothbrush first to try it on her own, then follow up yourself with a second brush to make sure the job is well done.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jasper!
Facts about Jasper
- Breed: Pekingese
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Senior
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Jasper's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Jasper was rescued from the Bedford Co Animal Shelter. He is a sweet, loving little 10 year old that just wants to find a home that he can spend his retirement years in. All he wants to do is be with his people and is very devoted to them. Jasper is house broken but will use potty pads if necessary. If interested in adopting this sweet little gentleman e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call the office at 540-586-6100.
Other Pets at Bedford Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jasper, a Bedford Pekingese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pekingese for sale in Bedford, or seeking a Pekingese dog from a breeder in Bedford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bedford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bedford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pekingese breeders who help with Pekingese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bedford paves the way for another one to be saved.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
New congregations within the Unitarian Universalist (UU) movement are those that are in the early stages of development. Emerging Congregations are new congregations that have been recognized by their district of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) as "emerging" and are actively working toward becoming a member congregation of the UUA.
Starting a congregation is both a grand adventure and a huge amount of work. It takes a great deal of faith, determination, and willingness to improvise as much as is needed to get a congregation off the ground. Many resources need to be adapted to fit with the unique circumstance of each new congregation. The best help with this adaptation is a person who can see your group objectively and who also cares that it grows healthily. You are strongly encouraged to find coaches to assist you with adaptation and improvising of existing resources. Coaches can come either from the district or from a neighboring congregation, or both. This will help ground your congregation in a more widely-shared Unitarian Universalist reality, as well as save you from"reinventing the wheel" by using the experience of dedicated others.
Congregations come into being through the visions of many people. Those who start Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations must share their visions with others and—as the congregation grows—be willing to expand their visions to include the visions of those who may not be just like them, or think the same way, but who also care deeply that the UU congregation comes to life in their community. These will be the congregation's charter, or founding, members. The New Congregation Development Manual gives an overview of the process of starting a congregation. The process will vary in each case, from congregation to congregation, but some key elements will be similar.
Early on in their development, new congregations—or those few individuals who plan to start one—need to contact the appropriate district office. The district office has UUA staff members who can help with advice, funding options, planning, support, partner congregations, coaches, and more. A congregation cannot become a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association without the support of the district. It is a necessary part of the process of applying for membership.
The district office to contact is the one in which the new congregation appears to be located according to a map which shows the UUA's districts. In the event that a new congregation is located between districts, it is best to contact the relevant offices, explain the situation, and check with them. An emerging congregation may have connections to another larger, established congregation or to an urban area, which would help them decide which district to contact, if they are in a district border area.
New and emerging congregations will grow through engaging in a variety of activities. Feeling excitement along with a little anxiety about this enterprise is both normal and necessary. Generating contagious excitement about the congregation among your core planning group and among new people is vital. A new congregation is, in some ways, like a new business and requires a lot of energy and time in order to come to life. Talk with your congregation's coach, or someone who has started a new congregation, about the early stages of growth.
The early process of starting up is important and it can be helpful to talk with someone else who has been through it. Your district staff can refer you to someone who can give their experience in starting a congregation.
Somewhere between 9 and 18 months into the start-up, when the congregation has gathered and held its first public worship service and maybe even held its charter service, it will begin to determine what ministries, or programs, to offer to the public and its membership. New congregations that want to grow and serve their community will be vibrant and relevant. The new religious community will be making connections with what is happening in the circles of community surrounding it. Being connected to and involved in your community is a proven path to growth.
Here are some starting points for new and emerging congregations that have reached the stage of wishing to develop ministries . Also, provided along with resources, is contact information of UU program specialists to encourage discussions on implementing these programs. Make use of the specialists' coaching, in areas the congregation wants to cultivate, in preparation for offering these ministries to members and the public.
For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: I know you guys might be so tired of people asking you to give them some advices about DIETING, well that is wut I am here for. All I want is eat better. I am 19, 5'9'', 158 pounds. I play soccer and run a lot. I quit lifting weights 1 week ago because of school and work and all I do now is run for 1 hour 4 days straight combined with sprints. ( most of the running is at a fast pace) I don't stop during the hour all I do is slow the running get air for 20 seconds and then run more and sprint...Anyways on friday and saturday I am gonna start to lift weight again ( when I lift weight I lift hard). ON sunday I have my soccer game. I ve gotten great results from running and lifting weights, but I feel as if I weren't eating that healthier and enough compare to all the running I do. I don't eat junk food. What I eat more are carbs as wheat bread, egg beggel, fruits, vegetables.... All I need is a sample of how should I make my eating routine better so that I get enough nutrients and good sources of carbs, proteins, and fat. ( I don't eat that much fat, I always eat less than 20% to 15 % of fat cals. I eat a day) Protein I always eat 20 to 30 % and carbs I eat 60 to 65 %of cals eaten a day. My calorie intake a day is 1500 to 1900 calories. Is it enought? Sometimes I don't run because my body feels tired, should I still eat the same amount of calories i usually eat? Want to know the right food I should eat and a eating routine. Thanks.

Any of you out there eat all raw foods? Any of you know Dr. Robert Morse, a naturopathic doctor in Florida? Any raw foodist out there? I am trying to spread the knowledge and hopefully save peoples lifes! Joe |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by HerbDoctor (My Page) on Sun, Mar 10, 13 at 19:00
Oh, my! HerbDoctor |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 NE OH (My Page) on Sun, Mar 10, 13 at 21:13
Herb Doctor: What are you saying? |
Some raw foods are fine (I am a big salad eater, for instance). And they may contain more nutrients than food that is cooked, or more particularly overcooked. Beyond that, eating healthy does not depend on consuming a diet that is all or mostly raw foods, and some uncooked foods pose a higher risk of infectious disease transmission. And sweeping claims about how raw foods supposedly prevent or cure serious diseases lack evidence apart from unreliable testimonials from raw food fans. As for naturopath Robert Morse, one should be wary of accepting advice from a practitioner who makes wild claims about curing 95% or more of cancer patients. |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 OH (My Page) on Tue, Mar 12, 13 at 12:59
Be your own testimonial, don't lesson to these lab studies! Raw foods don't cure anything, your body does all the healing all by itself, as long as your not consuming unhealthy foods.. Dont lesson to me nor Dr.Morse, we are here to give ideas... You take those ideas in your own action. For you are your biggest truth... Joe |
right on raw nature, empirical evidence is gold. for sure research studies can give useful info providing the study parameters and statistical analysis are unbiased and really excellent. but there is nothing quite like experience... |
Experience based on rigorous, sound science is a very good thing. Testimonials alone, not so much. |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 OH (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 14:40
Experience based on crap science is a very good thing as well. That Is how we developed today's science, trail and error... This would go on forever.. Science is not flawless, man did create science after all... Before listening to anyone else, listen to yourself. It's important to have real life experience before calling anything unlegitimate or quack logic. Your own experience/verification is going to blow scientific studies out the water, in my opinion... |
anyone who ignores mountains of empirical evidence gathered over millenia and across cultures is missing a real opportunity to learn. its how we (humans) learned much of what we know about many things, including the practice of good health and medicine. |
- Posted by HerbDoctor none (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 19:10
Editorializing? I think that's a word. HerbDoctor |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 OH (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 20:00
Eric oh: I constantly see you bashing people about "no scientific evidence"... You constantly bring this negativity to all these threads of positivity, it gets me sick... It reminds me of cancer study's of radiation and chemotherapy actually being effective in curing cancer.. Look guys it's a "legit scientific study" .. Sit by a cancer treatment center and have a follow with the patient in a few years and you tell me this scientific evidence is everything. Take Joe |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 OH (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 20:32
Maybe people are so dumbed down from the vaccines, and crap food that they truly believe scientific study's are everything... Eric, knowing you I'm sure you can dig up some study's showing a "wonder drug" with very positive data that ends up killing people... The FDA and the "big shots" are in charge of these study's and what data gets out to the public,etc.. They are in it for the money.. They are not going to publish studies that diminish there sales and make them look bad.. Eric it's good to be skeptic to save your wallet, an more, your health. But you talk out your ass! Get some real experience with these "cures" before you knock them... Eric, I'm sure your going to come up with some eloquent response that makes me look ignorant... But come on, your mind is in the wrong wrong place my friend! Drop the negativity, give some solutions! Joe |
" I'm sure your going to come up with some eloquent response that makes me look ignorant" I don't need to, what with statements like people being "dumbed down from the vaccines". How refreshing it would be if we didn't constantly have the progression on this forum from 1) poster makes unsupported claims, 2) poster is asked what evidence backs those claims, 3) poster repeats claims, 4) claims are debunked, 5) poster gets frustrated and launches personal attack. If you want to convince people you're right, ad hominems are not the way to go. |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 OH (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 11:09
I think we all Know what i'm trying to get across. Instead of leaving people high and dry telling them what they are doing is a joke, give them solutions to turn to when they find out it really is a joke. The truth well always come out eventually. I can see your intelligent and have the real potential to help people instead of just argue about who's wrong or right. Let's stop this negativity/fighting, and get people real solutions! Argueing well not benefit anyone, giving people real true solutions to their problems well. I'm curious, do you get vaccines, flu shots, or on any medications? Thanks... Stay healthy, |
nice try joe. many others have said the same thing to eric with no effect. it SEEMS he delights in being despised. |
"give them solutions to turn to" You mean, like purslane, turmeric and umckaloabo (examples of herbs I've suggested using in posts on the current forum page alone - there are many others whose use I've supported based on the existence of decent evidence for their medical value). I can understand your not being aware of my contributions over the past 12 or more years I've been posting in the Herbalism forum, seeing as you're a newcomer here. Kali has forgotten that just a few days ago she was urging other posters to ignore me. She seems unable to take her own advice. It's always better when we can stick to talking about herbs, instead of trying to dissect the motives and personalities of those with whom we disagree. |
- Posted by Raw_Nature 6 OH (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 21:00
I hear you Eric. Let's stick with positivity my friend. Joe |

Arcadia Food Pantry for Trempealeau County
It has been a pleasure to volunteer to help coordinate the Arcadia Food Pantry for Trempealeau County for the past several years, because of the generosity of people in our surrounding area. We are supported by individuals, businesses, churches, and organizations who all work together so well to assure that our food pantry has enough and no one needs to go without.
In the past year, we have served an average of 139 households each month and we have distributed an average of 7651 pounds of food monthly. The pantry is open from 1 to 3 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month and is located on the lower level of the Mayo Health Clinic, 464 S. St. Joseph Avenue in Arcadia.
I am excited to tell you about a special opportunity to help our county food pantry meet the growing need we are experiencing. Throughout the month of October, Feed My People Food Bank is partnering with us to match every dollar we receive through the Food for More Challenge with a pound of food, up to an extra 5000 pounds!
If you are considering giving a year-end donation to the Arcadia Food Pantry for Trempealeau County, please consider giving it in the month of October to take advantage of this opportunity and make your dollars stretch even farther.
The deadline for receiving matching funds is October 31. Make checks payable to the Arcadia Food Pantry. Note in the memo line Match Campaign. Send the checks to Arcadia Food Pantry for Trempealeau County, c/o JoDeen Forsyth, 1358 Hillview Dr., Arcadia, Wis., 54612.
On behalf of the thirty plus volunteers who keep our county pantry running, we thank you for your donations and appreciate your support because we have seen that it makes a difference in the lives of so many!

Best Beauty Looks from the 2013 Grammy Awards
Have you seen the red carpet photos from the 2013 Grammy Awards show? Here a quick post on what I thought were the Best Beauty looks. For me, Rihanna was the ultimate Grammy Beauty Queen! Ever the chameleon, Rihanna looked exceptionally romantic with her hair in perfect golden ombré waves while rocking a bold red lip that perfectly matched her stunning custom Azzedine Alaia dress.
Some of my other favourite beauty looks were…
1. Alexa Chung brightened up her adorable floral Valentino frock with a splash of red lippy. She looked simply sweet and effortlessly indie chic! 2. Beyonce also went for a red lip as a pop of colour against her (very on-trend) monochrome jumpsuit. Love the sleek wrapped low ponytail. 3. Jennifer Lopez rocked a super tight twisted top-knot which drew the attention to her Cleopatra inspired graphic eyeliner. 4. Taylor Swift looked angelic in a cream J.Mendel gown with silver detailing, completing her sophisticated look with her hair swept into a plaited up-do. 5. Karlie Kloss opted for a shimmery grey/blue smokey eye to enhance her stunning bright blue Michael Kors frock. Loving the wavy bob hairstyle too! 6. New mum Adele looked radiant and stayed true to her retro look with a classic updo and winged out liner with lots of false lashes.
What were your favourite Beauty Looks from the Grammy's this year?
Best & Worst Dressed: SAG Awards 2012
The 18th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on Sunday night and all the stars came dressed to impress in couture. However, not everyone actually impressed me so here are my picks for the best and the worst of the night.
♥ Amber Heard oozed sexy in a very on-trend cut out black Zac Posen dress!
So HOT and love the edgy quiff hairstyle too.
So HOT and love the edgy quiff hairstyle too.
♥ Rose Byrne took a risk at the SAG Awards with this outfit which meant some people loved it and other hated it. For me the risk paid off because I think she looked amazing in this embroidered Elie Saab jumpsuit with structured shoulders.
♥ Stacey Keibler looked sophisticated in this stunning lace Marchesa gown.
♥ Emily Blunt looked vibrant in this green Oscar de la Renta one-shoulder gown.
♥ Glee's Jayma Mays sparkled in a sweeping Reem Acra gown.
Aside from the fabulous sequin-and-shine factor, the back of the dress features a black lace cut-out which was equal sweet and sexy. Total winner in my books :)
♥ Total failure of the night for me was Heather Morris in a black leather-trimmed Masai Payan dress with a sheer skirt. Hated everything; the dress, the clunky platform silver heels, the bulky bracelet, the hair and the long chandelier earrings. Such a shame, she is such a knock-out beauty :(
♥ Funny woman Kristen Wiig ruined an elegant Balenciaga gown with a bold choker necklace.
What on earth was she thinking?? This outfit is the perfect case of accessories gone bad.
♥ Busy Philips tried to channel her inner Californian flower child in a blue floral gown by SIMONE by Katie Nehra. Wearing a print on the red carpet is a daring choice. Wearing a muumuu is an even worse choice. Think this look is more appropriate for a beach party rather than an awards show
♥ Newcomer 'The Descendants' actress Shailene Woodley should have left the floral print on set in Hawaii in this floral L'Wren Scott gown from the Spring 2012 collection.
♥ Amber Riley in Badgley Mischka.
Sorry but the huge bow in the centre of her chest doesn't do her any favours!
Sorry but the huge bow in the centre of her chest doesn't do her any favours!
♥ As much as I ADORE the mint green colour of this gown, Kaley Cuoco just didn't impress me in this Romona Keveza gown. Too much like a sweet meringue princessy look….but loving the hair though (just not with that dress)!
♥ Jenna Ushkowitz looks on-trend in a Rebecca Minkoff cut-out dress but am not a fan of the print and pleating and just think it looks a little 'bleh'.
♥ I almost didn't put Lea Michele on the worst dressed list because I do love the style and colouring of this Versace one-shoulder gown. It's uber glamorous and sexy BUT just think the slit-to her-waist is a little too much…sorry!
♥ Young and (normally stylish) Ashlee Simpson looks about 30 years older than she actually is in this slightly 'costumy' Jenny Packham dress.
Happy Hump Day everyone :) xoxo
Best & Worst of the Golden Globes 2012
On Sunday night annual Golden Globe Awards were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California. As the 2012 award season gets underway, the Golden Globes is the first chance for Hollywood's elite to set the red carpet trends for the upcoming year. Big winners 'The Descendants' and 'The Artist' took home multiple statues, but the awards for Best & Worst dressed are a whole other story. Take a look at my Golden Globes 2012 night's style winners and losers …
The ever stunning Charlize Theron chose a slit-up-to-there Christian Dior Couture gown with an elegant bow in the front! // Nicole Richie sparkled in a glittering column gown by Julien Macdonald and matched it with a clutch by her own label, House of Harlow // Love Heidi Klum's simple (but with sexy open back) nude Calvin Klein dress. She accessorised it perfectly with beautiful turquoise jewellery to saves her Calvin Klein gown from being a washout! // Angelina Jolie looked very elegant. The Atelier Versace dress could not have fit her better, and the red splash across the top made it stand out from other white and off-white gowns on the carpet // Salma Hayek oozed sex appeal in a strapless Gucci gown..
Keeping her style simple, yet utterly elegant, Kate Beckinsale wowed in a stunning blush Roberto Cavalli chiffon and lace gown // Best Actress in a Television Drama winner Claire Danes looked amazing in this black and white J. Mendel gown. An interestingly constructed dress plus the low-cut back made it an absolute winner in my books! // Evan Rachel Wood looked glamorous in sequined Gucci dress with real feathers on the bottom of the skirt. She looks a bit like a cross between a mermaid and a bird…but in a good way ;) It's probably not something I would wear but it perfectly suits Evan Rachel Wood's Hollywood glamour/gothic style // Emma Stone showed off a modern way to wear red; with her maroon and fuchsia pleated Lanvin gown matched with a funky jewelled eagle belt buckle. I think she looked like a fashion superhero!
I'm not a fan of Amanda's tiered Marc Jacobs dress; too much ruffle and it looks a bit like the dress was made out of her grandma's curtains // Natalie Portman seems to be channelling Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen prefer blondes here haha. I love the colours of the Lanvin gown but perhaps after you've recently lost a ton of baby weight this isn't the most flattering of outfits // Kelly Osbourne doesn't shine for me in this ill-fitting, pointy-shouldered Zac Posen dress. Wonder if she'll make her own 'Fashion Police' show's Worst Dressed List? // Sarah Michelle Gellar said that her two-year-old daughter Charlotte picked out her tie-dye-style Monique Lhuillier gown. Just too much…I think the look would have been far more successful with a plain fabric!
Jessica Biel in a long sleeve Ellie Saab dress. This gown looks a bit like it could be her grandmother's wedding dress from 1934? Jessica is so beautiful and I think something more modern and striking would have been more age appropriate :) // Michelle Williams looks cute and quirky in this Jason Wu gown but for me the blue velvet dress is a bit too matronly and slightly boring..(Sorry I know lots of people loved this dress!) // 'Glee' star Lea Michelle in an embroidered Marchesa illusion dress. Again she was on a lot of people's best dressed list but it just didn't do it for me! // Giuliana Rancic arrived in a floor-length grey and black Monique Collignon gown which is simply unflattering. Nuf-said ;) // Madonna disappointed in a cluttered green and pewter Reem Acra ballgown.
See below the full list of award winners at the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards; I really want to see the movies "The Descendants" and "The Artist"!

We've had a few freezes, enough to knock back the top growth of several of my tender garden plants, but certainly not what I'd call any hard freezes. I think it got down to 27 degrees one night. It's very warm and humid today, though, and I saw three cloudless sulphurs circling each other today, plus this lone checkered skipper who nectared (or tried to) on two Georgia asters still blooming down low on some root sprouts - That's all the lep life I've seen today, but then I haven't been out much. I'm already ready for spring! :) Sherry |

Thanks to both of you! Taking butterfly pictures is so much fun! Sherry |
We are having a brutal winter here in Northern VA too. Did you see the pictures of the snow in Cario? Apparently it hasn't snowed there for 112 years. Lovely photo of the skipper. They are one of my favorites. Whenever I leave the house, I'm checking on my butterfly and moth pupae that are wintering over in the garage. They are wrapped up for the winter right now. The only butterflies that I am seeing are in my dreams. Mona |

We've had the same cold winter weather here that everybody else in the East has had. A few nights ago it got down to 17 degrees, which is the coldest it's ever been since we moved here from Gulfport in 1996. The leaves on my orange tree look burned a bit, some, maybe most of them will fall off, but the tree has a big trunk, so I think it'll make it and resprout this spring. I haven't seen any butterflies or moths either. My chrysalides and luna moth cocoons are in my unheated guest room. So far, none have emerged, thank goodness! 'Certainly don't need any premature emergers! I'm already looking forward to spring! Sherry |

What an awesome photo, thanks for sharing, Sherry. |

Your photo brightened my day :) It's been a long cold winter... The weather is just starting to break and we're due temps in the 40's this coming week :) Before too long I can look forward to American Ladies, Mourning Cloaks and Red Admirals. |

Thanks, y'all! A couple of weeks ago we had the lowest temperature we've had since I moved here in 1996 - 15 degrees one morning, with ice! The leaves on my orange tree have all fallen off (after turning brown) and most are off my satsuma tree. Some of the outer branches appear to be dead, but the big trunk on the orange looks alright, and I've scratched the bark on some branches and found green, so maybe there's hope. But today, I've been working outside, and my face is all red, because I'm so hot! It's only in the 70's, but this is the first vigorous exercise I've had in a while, since I've been cooped up in the house, reading and cooking and eating too much - I NEED the exercise! :) I saw a butterfly while I was out, the first I've seen in months! I took my camera with me when i went back out, but didn't see the butterfly again. I think it was a question mark, but it may have been a red admiral. It landed on the side of a tree and moved its wings in and out like RAs and QMs both do, and it was too far away for my old eyes to be sure what it was. Regardless, it was a butterfly, the temps are supposed to be pleasant for a week or so, so I'm thinking spring will soon be here. I took my plants out of the unheated guest room to give them a breath of fresh air - yay!! Sherry |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 18, 14 at 10:08
Oh there's hope:) I probably won't see my first butterfly for a month (Mourning Cloak) or two (RA) but I'm glad you're seeing them now. Our weather is getting a little "warmer" but we're getting snow here and there. Today's forecast: sunny and 36 degrees... not bad. I give us about four more weeks until our first sighting. |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMay 7, 2001Press Contacts: Carol Abrams (212) 863-5176Kim Brown (212) 863-8076
New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Jerilyn Perine today announced the launch of the agency's redesigned web pages located at nyc.gov/hpd.

The site is organized under seven main headings, which puts housing information just a click away.
About HPD:The answers to the Frequently Asked Questions highlight the role HPD plays in improving the quality, availability and affordability of housing in New York City.

Housing for Rent/Sale:The most-visited pages on HPD's website, this is where renters and prospective homebuyers can find information on affordable apartment listings, apartment purchase programs, and homeownership programs.
Neighborhood Redevelopment:HPD's nationally-recognized accomplishments in rebuilding communities building by building, block-by-block are captured in a Photo Gallery of "Before and After" photos. The Photo Gallery also features a virtual walking tour of Harlem. This page includes information on large-scale developments that foster residential and mixed-use development of City-owned land; vacant land development; crime prevention initiatives and urban renewal.
Forms and Publications:Whether you're a new homeowner who wants to register for HPD's Housing Education Program, a building owner interested in applying for a home improvement loan, or a developer looking for the most recent Request for Proposals, you can find the forms and publications here.
Research Data:Students, housing industry professionals, and anyone else doing research on housing in New York City can learn about important dates in the agency's history, access the latest "Housing and Vacancy Survey," read a policy paper on one of the agency's award-winning programs, or follow the links to other housing-related sites.
What's New:This page features press releases, recent updates to the website, and a listing of HPD current events.
HPD's mission is to promote quality housing and viable neighborhoods for New Yorkers. The department is the nation's largest municipal housing development agency.

Lloyds of London, the insurance market, is becoming rather worried indeed about the future of energy:
"A supply crunch appears likely around 2013… given recent price experience, a spike in excess of $200 per barrel is not infeasible."
This is from Professor Paul Stevens at UK policy thinktank, Chatham House, in a paper published in conjunction with Lloyds.
Most predictions of supply-side problems choose either the 'supply crunch' or the 'peak oil' camp — often due to the sometimes arbitrary distinction between those of an economic and those of a geological bent. This paper, however, says that both are risks.
The above quote talks about a crunch resulting from investment shortfall. But that doesn't necessarily mean it will go away, as this stark juxtaposition shows:
Of course there are all sorts of other factors — Iraq and unconventional liquids production to name a couple — but those alternatives have their own problems and uncertainties; and with conventional non-Opec oil production already beginning to decline, an imminent shortfall in Middle Eastern oil production and a quick jump to $200/barrel is not a happy thought, if one believes that oil prices are important to the world economy.
The paper makes clear that Asia's growing appetite for oil could mean the 'crunch' would come before the 'peak', so to speak:
"Even before we reach peak oil, we could witness an oil supply crunch because of increased Asian demand. Major new investment in energy takes 10 – 15 years from the initial investment to the first production, and to date we have not seen the amount of new projects that would supply the projected increase in demand."
The paper does warn of the effect of peaking geological supply of conventional oil too — and the often unappealing consequences of growing reliance on unconventional oil. In fact the Chatham House forecast of $200 oil is far higher than just about anyone else (although Goldman Sachs have certainly been there):
The paper cites the study last year by the UK Energy Research Council that found a peak of conventional oil production before 2030 is likely, with a significant risk of a peak before 2020.
This is not much different from the IEA, which expects global conventional oil production to peak around 2020, based on current trends.
The problem, the Lloyds/Chatham House paper points out, is that there are so many variables affecting when peak oil will be reached. Looking more than 10 years into the future, the paper says, "presents many uncertainties, including: the availability and cost of extraction technologies; the substitute technologies, pricing systems in major economies, and carbon legislation".
And these uncertainties make it difficult to gain support for the massive investments that are required to move away from oil, the Lloyds report writes.
But it would be superficial to look only at the paper's peak oil warnings; it is more wide-ranging than that, looking at how existing energy use will need to change dramatically in the face of several impending developments: climate change, geo-political issues, the resurgence of coal, and natural gas substitution, to name a few.
The paper argues that these factors, collectively, mean a shift away fossil fuels is required. The problem is, that it is difficult when the big, long-term investments required are hampered by both uncertainty over the future supply and demand, and a lack of clarity about important energy policies such as carbon pricing.
As Lloyds chief executive Richard Ward writes in the introduction:
"What it outlines, in stark detail, is that we have entered a period of deep uncertainty in how we will source energy for power, heat and mobility, and how much we will pay for it."
And it's not the energy market volatility of the past: this time, it's different.
