Limited self-released disc from this UK underground stalwart, long term collaborator with Andrew Chalk, Colin Potter, Daisuke Suzuki et al. This one is based around still pools of slow-pulsing organ tone into which Tate drops tiny mesmeric bubbles of single-note activity that bloom into beautiful lambda-massaging crystalline structures. Also features some great extended shots of teleport tones that sound like an alien invasion scored by the Radiophonic Workshop and the usual epically lonesome atmosphere that at points almost parallels Steven Stapleton's work on Nurse With Wound's A Salt Marie Celeste and at others - especially the delayed guitar touches - Heather Leigh's work with Scorces. Comes in a die-cut sleeve. Recommended.
New album from these two regular UK underground collaborators. Holloway plays piano, wooden flute and sea recordings while Tate plays squeeze-box, guitar and percussion. Slow symphonic psychedelic drone sunk deep inside hallucinatory environments.
Necessary deluxe CD upgrade for one of the key founding documents of the UK underground: Ferial Confine was the early solo project of Andrew Chalk, who at the time had connections to fellow avant travellers like Ramleh/Broken Flag and The New Blockaders. The Full Use Of Nothing was originally released on cassette by Chalk in the mid-80s and later briefly issued on vinyl. It parallels the early TNB recordings in its use of all electro/acoustic soundings, primarily metal and even the sound of cupboard doors banging in Chalk's parents' house while long-term collaborator Darren Tate appears on bowed autoharp (indeed Tate also gave the album its title). The sound is sensual, textural free noise but with none of the harshness associated with TN, Ramleh or Whitehouse at al. At points the crawling/bubbling tectonics border on a form of metallic eroticism, cushioned by the kind of distant soft drones that Andrew would later amplify and expand on in his solo work. There are sections of forlorn classical piano bisected with dizzying laminal drones that give the music an undeniable feeling of haunted nostalgia, making for some of the most striking – and strikingly melancholy – UK noise music of the age. Very hard to extrapolate from the 'base' materials and process involved in its creation to the grandeur and complexity of its final form but this new edition sounds better than ever, allowing you to dive deep into the complex contours of this radical set of DIY compositional beauty. Long a secret influence on the whole of the UK underground, parts of this recording were later plundered by The New Blockaders on 1995's TNB Est Mort! Comes in a gorgeous hard card slipcase with Japanese obi strip. Highly recommended!
Inspired reissue of one of the all-time oddball UK Industrial/experimental underground classics, Mixed Band Philanthropists's legendary The Impossible Humane. MBP was a pseudonym for Richard Rupenus of The New Blockaders and pals who put to together this insane LP in 1987 with the help of a bunch of cassette contributions from a veritable who's-who of DIY/avant gods. MBP then dredge the whole thing through several layers of impossible aural logic until you have one of the most spectacularly grid-locked and obsessively dense sides of scattershot/ plunderphonic noise/drone never released by United Dairies and this side of Orchid Spangiafora. Includes appearances from Nurse With Wound, Andrew Chalk, Nihilist Assault Group, The New Blockaders, Organum, Asmus Tietchens, Smegma, Tom Recchion, Merzbow, The Haters, Giancarlo Toniutti, HNAS, P16.D4, Vortex Campaign and more. Obsessive, endlessly intricate and inspired in its construction, simultaneously crude and sophisticated in its unfolding, pretty much the apex of underground/DIY collage tape work. Highly recommended!

If you had to choose one Jasmine....
Hi simple question.
I know in this forum this is a difficult to thing to imagine ;-)
But if you had to choose one potted Jasmine, which one will it be and why?
Fragrance, every blooming, easy of care, overwinters easily, wafting fragrance, sentimental value....
You do like to ask tough questions!
For me it would be Jasminum sambac 'Belle of India'.
Maid of Orleans was my first jasmine I grew so sambacs definitely have sentimental value but Belle has a very strong sweet fragrance that wafts if you have enough blooms open at once.
It's not as tough as Maid though and requires more heat but if you could provide that I don't think you'd have any issues.
Mine has overwintered down in the basement with no issues for 3 years or so.
This post was edited by robert1971 on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 9:51
when I moved I only took one jasmine with me, that is Mali Pikul simply because I find the flowers most charming and its not so leggy as others. Close second favorite would be Grand Duke for its wafting power and rose-like flowers, but I dislike it for being too leggy.
I like this thread already. :p
Over all I've tried 6 different type of sambac so far. Of those, Maid of Orleans has my sentimental vote, but I like Belle of India the most because of its strong scent and long(er) lasting blooms. I will not forget how strong its scent was last Summer during our heat wave. It was an incredible experience to smell it on a hot humid night. I'm excited to see how Mysore Mulli will be like. :)
Hi Mike, I'm happy you liked my post.
I actually dreamt what I wrote last night....
I suppose that's why scent, or the idea of scent is so important with all of us sense obsessed people.
From what I read the consensus is belle followed by Mali pikul.
It seems now that I need to ask another question:
So why you keep your other jasmines? why not keep only more belle of India's ;-)
I too adore Belle of India. Unfortunately, my love affair with her only lasted one season before she fell victim to my brown thumb. But I'm not giving up so I will be ordering another one soon.
She's gorgeous to look at and her fragrance is sweet and intoxicating. One single bloom will fill up my car with her scent. I just wish I know how to make her happy.
True-blue, I have actually dreamed up whole songs in my head..I just forget to write them down when I awake...
I also love different varieties because they flower different times of the year...It's funny, but I am one of those that likes doubles of teh same plant in case one dissapoints me and others in case one is out of the flowering season...That explains why I have over 25 different varieties of Cattalya's and orchids, several different citrus, and about 4 different Jasmine but very little room for more.
Mike those unwritten songs are those which help us during tough times.
I understand the idea of buying doubles. Actually that's the ideal way to appraise a plant.
I understand and appreciate the idea of having different blooms at different times, but more so in a garden context, i.e. spring bulbs, roses, clematis and so on. But let's say, indoors with our long winters and lack of "ideal" space, I don't want a plant/plants, which may flower for 2 weeks in the summer and the flowers are so so.
That brings me to the reason behind my questions. somewhere I read that Mysore mulli is the ideal jasmine, that under right conditions it's an everblooming plant. That it can flower during autumn and winter. Have any of you experienced that?
I think if you can give any sambac jasmines enough heat and light during the winter they will be everbloomers.
Mysore Mulli is awesome. Hoping to decide this summer which I prefer more, Belle or Mysore but I no doubt will keep both since variety is the spice of life. :)
Course now I really want Mali pikul as well. Laugh.

Robert is that the one?
Here is a link that might be useful: Mali pikul
OH, I would say very very slow!
At least here up in the north where we can't expose them to more than 10 hours of sun by day, heat and humidity..
Mine is kept in a greenhouse with as much sunlight as possible and only grew about one leaf since summer..lol
Hi Mike sorry to hear that !Are all your jasmines slow growing?
According to a chart at the T0p tr0p site, Maid, Mysore and Malichat are the fastest growing jasmines,
Is that at least true?
Fragrant2008, see if this link helps you...
Here is a link that might be useful: Jasmines in UK
Here is my newly acquired Mysore Mulli everyone:
A young starter but it's looking pretty healthy. I cannot wait to see how it'll do this Summer. I went ahead and ordered a Plore Plena from Logee's today. Lol. And don't laugh, now I want to get a Maids of Orlean again. Logees and its 20% off tempted me into it ;)
Oo Robert, I also got a Fudingzhu Osmanthus. ;)) How's your Fudingzhu doing?
true-blue thanks for the link:) i will give them ago with Bella and maybe they might be able to find me beronia megastigma! well it does say "We welcome any specific enquiry or specialist request for any particular species of plant"
And good luck with your Mysore Mulli kemistry :)
Hooray for Mysore! Though I must say I was hoping your plant would be bigger. :)
My Fudingzhu Osmanthus is scraggly and ugly but it is flowering though the scent is not as strong as I'd like it to be. ;)
And of course I keep looking at Mali Pikul!
Ugh. I'm so sick. We went to the Asian grocery in OKC where I found my GDS and I saw some jasmine incense with pictures of what looked like Mali Pikul on the label so of course that made me want it even more. Laugh.
So glad you might get Belle after all!
I think you'll like her. :)
Most welcome Fragrant2008. If you want a substitute for megastigma, you can get heterophylla ;-) Here is the link.
Robert why don't you plant your osmanthus in the ground, I thought it's hardy in your zone?
Here is a link that might be useful: BORONIA heterophylla
I think it's hardy to 5 degrees F. It can get colder than that where we are and of course the weather is becoming more and more extreme but who knows?
I could try to find a protected spot for it but I doubt it would make it.
I guess I'll see come spring which is this week! Woo hoo! :)
Sometimes, if plant under perform I'll give them an ultimatum: sink or swim! Some of them react quite well.
Anyway you can wrap it in burlap, like we do up north. It might like it ;-)
And you'll have a free spot for Mali Pikul!

Mine thrive in the 5:1:1 mix outside since outside they require more moisture however my rooted cuttings are doing better in the gritty mix since they are inside mostly under lights and the medium stays moist but not wet which they hate so it depends on where you're growing them. :)
I'm sure they'd do fine in the gritty mix outside however I would have to water probably 3 times a day in our heat!
Indoors in winter, outdoors from mid spring till September...
Gritty mix is sometimes a pain to make as I have to sift through the repti bark to get the right size. 5-1-1 is good when you feel lazy ;-)
This post was edited by true-blue on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 12:20
I know. I actually wear a mask and eye protection glass when I sift the bark.
I have a 1/4" sieve. What falls through is for the gritty mix, what stays is for 5-1-1. I just wanted to make sure if both mixes work well with jasmines. From what you say both are well....
Hi all,
It's hard to decide what to get when it's based on other people's noses!
But thanks to your feedback, I've decided to go with a medium size Belle of India (8"pot). At least it's better than my poor old Jasmine sambac sp that grew two leaves, last year. (one more than Mike's!)
I'm also thinking of getting a dwarf Murraya, thanks to Kemistry :-) It seems a perfect plant for me, as it is small, every blooming (more or less) and it wafts.
And if I can find a source for Chloranthus spicatus it will be perfect.
I can sort of relax and focus on other plants, sorry plans. ;-)
True-blue ,I love these true jasmine varieties. My experience is based on growing these in zone 7a.
jasmine sambac - Easy to maintain, blooms profusely, fragrance wafts when it has lot of blooms on plants. But if you get 1-2 blooms indoors you can still smell it... hard to kill it.
J.grandduke - easy to maintain, does not bloom much but when in bloom, strong fragrance.
J.belle of india - love the fragrance, easy to maintain, blooms more as it ages. needs more attention than the above 2 varieties
J.grandduke supreme - easy to maintain, strong growth than regular grandduke, does bloom more as the plant matures. Blooms open fully unlike regular granduke and the fragrance is strong and it does waft.
Grand Duke hands down!
Even we are in low desert, it is super easy to grow. It has strong fragrance, showy and beautiful flowers. If plants get frost in winter, we cut stems way down. Feed water and miracle grow fert., then they grow right back in spring, stronger and more beautiful.
Thanks azmom, it's interesting to see how the same variety reacts to different environments. However, mine, is hot and humid in summer and extremely cold in winter, which translate into spending most of the time indoors from September till June.....
Hello true-blue, I spent many years in subtropical climate, hot and humid almost year around. I recall Grand Dukes grew like weeds in the area. It is why I have been very surprised that Grand Dukes are so easy to care in our desert environment.
I wish we have higher humidity in our desert air, it would help wafting fragrance....
Hi guys,
I finally found a source for the belle of India.
However this is the photo he sent me with this quote: On our web site, the ones with long petals are listed as Maid of Orleans. But other web sites lists this flower as 'Belle of India'. So which one is the one on the photo ?
Am I to get the long petaled one ?
It's easier to tell from a flower bud if it's 'Belle of India' or not.
The buds are elongated.
I would go for the one with the long petals but I'm sure others will chime in.
Congrats on finally finding a source! :)

Hi All.
I finally got my Jasmine a few weeks ago. It is a 2 feet tall plant. I just left it in the shade for a week. Some of the leaves were sort of curled.
A week later I transplanted it in the gritty mix.
And today, or tomorrow the first bud will open.
Here is the photo of the bud, I hope it's the Belle ?
Hooray! Congrats!
It's hard to say since sambac jasmines have such variable buds and flowers but I'll go with yes.
Here's a pic of two buds on my largest Belle.
Has it bloomed yet? Do you like the scent?
My friend in OKC found the scent too cloying when she stuck her nose into it but agreed it's a great wafter which I know you love. ;)
Thanks Robert. It bloomed yesterday, in the middle of the heavy rain we've been having. It had the all the visual attributes of belle. The graceful teardrop petals, which are so dainty. I'm really happy that I listened to you and the other guys who recommended it.
I simply loved the scent of that single bloom. It was clean, strong yet sort of gentle. Very balanced. It's still on, if I get around to it, I'll take a pic :-).
There are lots of other buds forming, so, I'll post later on the wafting, as I need more and warmer temps for that.
Your bud is lovely, I like that whisper of pink...
I'm no sambac expert so I'll leave it for others to decide. ;)
I did snap some flowers and buds from my Mysore for you to compare yours to.
I know Mysore has hairier stems than Belle so that might help you.
Does your jasmine have mold on it? What are the black spots on the leaves and the flower bud?
You might want to take a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or some Neem oil to it. :)
Yeah, Robert you gave me a fright! I was in the garden the moment I saw your message with swabs and alcohol and what not, Lol. I sighed in relief when it was dirt only (sigh). Better be safe than sorry.
I was checking your photo again and my Jasmines buds have nothing to do with yours Robert. Yours are plump and roundish, while mine are elongated. I'm looking forward to see multiple flowers open :-)
Just wanted to post an update.
The plant is definitely Belle and I love it.
And Robert it wafts, what a range for a single flower!
One day, the temp, humidity was just right and I could alternatively smell the Jasmine and the Rose, the King and Queen of the fragrant flowers....
What a treat...

Cut your flea collar into several pieces. Place the flea collar in your vacuum bag or bag-less canister. This will help kill the fleas you collect as you vacuum your house.
Fleas are not only an annoyance, but they also carry disease. If your house is infested by fleas, first treat your pets to make sure the fleas don't have their favorite hosts. Then, treat your house to kill any remaining fleas and their eggs. A mixture of borax and table salt can kill the fleas and eggs, while rock salt deters new fleas from sharing your home.
Things You'll Need
- Vacuum cleaner
- Flea collar
- Broom
- Borax
- Table salt
- Rock salt
- Lavender oil
- Shallow bowls or trays
Vacuum your floors thoroughly. Vacuum every room in your house, because fleas can quickly travel to different rooms and upstairs. Vacuum your furniture and drapes as well. Dispose of the bag or rinse your canister thoroughly with water and a 1/2 cup of bleach.
Mix four parts borax with one part table salt. Sprinkle the mixture over your carpet and upholstery. Use your broom to spread the mixture evenly across the floor and furniture and to work it deeper into the fibers. Leave the solution on for 30 minutes to five hours, depending on the level of infestation. The mixture penetrates the fleas' exoskeletons and the eggs' shells and draws out the moisture inside, killing the fleas.
Vacuum the floors and furniture again to remove the borax and table salt. Dispose of the bag or rinse your canister thoroughly with water and a 1/2 cup of bleach.
Mix 2 ounces of lavender oil with about 3 quarts of rock salt. Place the mixture in a shallow bowl or tray. Place it under furniture and out of reach of children or pets. The mixture will help repel fleas.

This is an amazing house. We were there for 2 months and every day was a pleasure. The house is fully equipped, so you only need to bring the groceries! Imagine swimming in your own private pool with a view of a river valley and Pacific Ocean? The house is located on a hill, so there is less humidity and there is also a nice breeze from the ocean. If you want to go to the Ocean it is only a 15 or 20 minutes to a variety of beaches. You won't want to leave and when you do you can't wait to return
This is a very nice place. Peaceful and lots of nature right out the back door.
Property is as described in the listing.
It is clean and well-maintained.
Well-stocked: utensils, pots, pans, etc.
Both Chris and Bryan were very responsive both on site and via email.
I would recommend this place to my friends and relatives.
From here, it is a short trip to Domincal where there are groceries, beaches, restaurants, etc.
This was my first trip to Costa Rica and first HomeAway experience, both of which were amazing. This property is exactly as it was described. The property owner is very prompt in all responses; providing property directions, answering questions and renter requests.
-The landscaping and view as you drive up to the gated community is breathtaking. Manicured hedges line the road before you reach the gate, some of the best landscaping I saw during my stay.
-220 ft waterfall within walking distance of this property.
-Grocery store, gas station and restaurants within 10 minute drive
-Best sunset views from this property!
I would highly recommend this property to anyone. It was relaxing, private and peaceful. I am definitely looking forward to the next time I can make the trip and visit this property again!
My wife and I spent a month staying at the villa. It came supplied with everything one could possibly need for a comfortable visit. The unit is air conditioned but we ended up never using it. The house was very comfortable with just the ceiling fans. The view from the patio over the valley and out to the ocean is magnificent. We would spend dawn and dusk sitting out on chairs watching the day begin and end. Having our own private pool was a luxury. We could jump in and out for a quick dip during the heat of the day. Bryan and Tracie were very accomodating and made us feel very welcome. We alway had quick responses to emails and voice mails whenever we needed anything. The villa was a private paradise for a month. We actually ended up re-booking again for next year before we even left,
We would recommend Cascada Azul to anyone looking for a quiet getaway with complete privacy, while still being close to Playa Dominical. It is definitely recommended that you have a 4x4 vehicle to get to the shops and restaurants. The house was very clean and well-maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed from a blender, toaster oven, coffee maker, filtered water, pots and pans, etc. The place also has wireless internet. Bryan really took pride in the villa and the surrounding property. The pool was great for morning and afternoon sun and for a peak at the surrounding wildlife. Bryan was extremely helpful and informative on places to eat, surf spots, and other neat local information. We can't wait to go back and enjoy the house as well as the stunning sunset views.
My family stayed at the villa for 4 weeks and it was amazing. If you are looking for a getaway this is the place. Remote, but not too remote being a short drive from Dominical town which is where you can shop for souvenirs, pick up some groceries, grab a bite, get surf lessons, or just have a drink. We travelled with our 2 children 3 and 12 so, safe for kids, they will never leave the pool, but who could blame them wait until you witness the view yourself! The property is well maintained and safe. Bryan and his family were very welcoming and helpful in regards to where to shop, eat and activities. We will be back soon! Don't forget to ask about the Jungle Retreat!!

Polls show most Americans believe in climate change, but give it low priority
The United Nations is bringing together world leaders on Tuesday to focus on the challenge of climate change. In the U.S., a solid majority believe there is evidence that global warming is happening, but they do not rank global climate change as one of the top threats facing the country.
Last month, nearly half of Americans (48%) rated global climate change as a major threat — well behind concerns such as the militant group ISIS (67%), Iran's nuclear program (59%) and North Korea's nuclear program (57%). In an international survey of 39 publics last year, Americans were among the least concerned about climate change threatening their country.
Global warming also ranked near the bottom of Americans' 2014 priorities for President Obama and Congress (28% said it was a top priority). Similarly, when asked last November about long-range foreign policy goals, 37% named global climate change as a top long-range goal; by comparison, 83% cited guarding against terrorist attacks and 81% named protecting American jobs as top goals.

5 takeaways about religion and politics before the midterms
Although there has always been a separation of church and state in the U.S., it has never prevented religion and religious groups from playing a big role in the country's political life. Now, as the nation heads into midterm elections, a new Pew Research Center survey finds that many Americans support a role for religion in the political arena and lament what they see as religion's declining influence in society.
The survey asked Americans a series of questions about the intersection of faith and public life; here are a few of the key findings:
1 A growing percentage of U.S. adults (now 72%) think that religion is losing influence in American life. Moreover, most people who feel this way think this is a bad thing. Overall, a majority (56%) of the total U.S. population perceives religion as losing influence in American life and says that's a bad thing.
2 Perhaps as a consequence, our survey found a growing share of Americans express support for religion in politics in a few different ways. About half of U.S. adults (49%) say churches and other houses of worship should express their views on social and political questions – up from 43% four years ago. And while they are still a minority, the percentage of Americans who say that churches should endorse candidates in elections is up 8 percentage points since 2010 (from 24% to 32%).

Census confirms more data problems in sorting out the number of U.S. gay marriages
The Census Bureau last week released a new estimate of the number of U.S. same-sex married couples: 252,000. The data show a sharp increase, but come with a caveat because agency officials acknowledge the estimates are flawed and say they are still working to improve their accuracy.
The 2013 total is 38% higher than the bureau's 2012 estimate of 182,000 same-sex married couples; both come from the American Community Survey. Accounting for a significant part of the increase, according to a bureau official, was a change in how the agency reported data from survey forms with incomplete responses. Read More →

In some European countries, church membership means paying more taxes
An increasing number of Germans – Protestant and Catholic alike – are leaving their churches, according to statistics compiled by The Wall Street Journal. Among the reasons cited for the decrease in membership is an unwillingness to pay a de facto increase in Germany's church tax, which is collected by the government from registered members of churches to fund those religious organizations.
The fact that church taxes even exist might surprise Americans, as the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment prohibits the government from collecting taxes for religious groups. But last year, Germany reportedly collected $13.2 billion in revenue for churches. Read More →

Despite ongoing crisis in Venezuela, Maduro hangs on
The recent announcement that Venezuela's inflation rate is now the highest in all of Latin America is just the latest in a series of setbacks for a nation that earlier this year was roiled by massive protests. In line with the mood on the streets, a new Pew Research survey finds that more than three of every four Venezuelans (77%) think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Yet despite mounting public frustration, the late Hugo Chávez's successor as president, Nicolás Maduro, continues to enjoy as much public support as the political opposition.
Venezuelans are clearly worried about the economic situation in their country: a 71%-majority in the poll describes the economy as bad. Meanwhile, more than eight-in-ten say rising prices (89%) and a lack of jobs (83%) are very big problems. Crime (86% very big problem) is the only other problem seen in such a dire light.

Hispanics only group to see its poverty rate decline and incomes rise
Hispanics are the only major racial or ethnic group to see a statistically significant decline in its poverty rate, according to 2013 Census Bureau figures released this week. The drop in the poverty rate among Hispanics – from 25.6% in 2012 to 23.5% in 2013 – contributed to the first decline in the nation's overall poverty rate since 2006.
Hispanics also were the only group to see a decline in the number of people living in poverty (the year-to-year changes in the overall U.S. number was not statistically different.) From 2012 to 2013, the number of Hispanics in poverty dropped from 13.6 million to 12.7 million, even as the Hispanic population grew by 1 million over the same time period.
Meanwhile, the median household income of Hispanics increased by 3.5% to $40,963, the first annual increase since 2000, according to the Census Bureau. Income changes for whites, blacks and Asians were not statistically significant.

Census: Computer ownership, internet connection varies widely across U.S.
Nearly 25 years after the birth of the world wide web, most Americans have computers and internet access, but the nation remains a patchwork of connectivity, with some metro areas full of high-speed connections and other areas much less plugged in. That's according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the Census Bureau's first estimates of computer use and internet connections for local areas, released yesterday.
For example, in the Boulder, Colo., metro area, more than eight-in-ten households not only have an internet connection, but it's also an always-on, faster-than-dialup broadband subscription. In the Brownsville-Harlingen, Texas, metro area, though, only about half of households do.
The bureau has previously published national and state data, but the new estimates from the 2013 American Community Survey add a vastly more detailed geographic dimension to analysis of online and offline Americans.
Overall, 84% of U.S. households own a computer, and 73% of U.S. households have a computer with a broadband connection to the internet, the bureau reported. These findings are right in line with survey findings of the Pew Research Center, which found that 70% of Americans have broadband access.
The new Census Bureau figures show wide variance by state and local area, though. In New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Utah, about eight-in-ten households have a broadband connection, according to the new data. In Mississippi, only 57% do. Among the 10 largest metro areas, the share ranges from 73% in Miami to 84% in Washington, D.C.

The nation's wealth recovers, but largely for those at the top
The nation's aggregate wealth continued to show signs of recovery, ascending to $81.5 trillion as of June 30, after bottoming out at $55 trillion in 2009, according to a new Federal Reserve report released Thursday.
The Fed's aggregate wealth figures, which measure the total net worth of all U.S. households and nonprofits, suggest that inflation-adjusted wealth per household has significantly increased since 2009 (roughly growing 29%) and has surpassed its pre-Recession peak. (The chart to the right does not show these figures adjusted for inflation or number of households.)
But as other economic reports and indicators suggest, that wealth recovery has been concentrated on the wealthiest Americans. Although there is some evidence that those at the bottom are also seeing an economic lift, the aggregate net worth for America's economic middle is actually declining. In August, the Census Bureau released detailed wealth tabulations that imply that the minimum wealth level needed to qualify for the wealthiest 1% of American households increased from $2.3 million in 2009 to $2.4 million in 2011. That in itself indicates there were wealth gains at the very top of the wealth distribution. On the other hand, the minimum wealth level needed to be in the wealthiest 4% of households fell from 2009 to 2011, from which one infers that wealth declined for households at the wealthiest 4% level.

Families may differ, but they share common values on parenting
A new report released today by the Pew Research Center shows how the values Americans bring to parenting are strongly linked to their own ideological leanings. But aside from ideology, the survey finds widespread agreement among parents over the traits that children should be taught.
Moreover, there are only modest differences in these attitudes among parents with one child or several, and among those with children of different ages. For the most part, married mothers and single mothers also share common ground on the values important to teach children.
These findings are based on a Pew Research Center survey conducted April 29-May 27 among 3,243 adults, including 815 parents, who are part of Pew Research's new American Trends Panel, a nationally representative panel of randomly selected U.S. adults surveyed online and by mail.

For first time, census data on married couples includes same-sex spouses
The Census Bureau released new data today that for the first time counted same-sex spouses along with all other married couples in its largest household survey, which, despite the new additions, showed no reversal in the long-term national decline in marriage.
The share of Americans ages 18 and older who are currently married inched downward in 2013, to 50.3%, compared with 50.5% in 2012, according to Pew Research Center calculations from the 2013 American Community Survey.
The Census Bureau estimates there were nearly 252,000 households headed by same-sex married couples in 2013, a notable increase from the 182,000 estimated in 2012, but still a small fraction of the 56 million total U.S. married couples. In the past, if two people of the same gender said they were married, the Census Bureau reclassified them as cohabiting partners.

sconces or above-mirror lights?
Hi there,
We are in the rough stages of a house remodel, and I met with our electrician today. Even though we won't be moving into the house until September, I need to decide tonight (!!!) if we are getting sconces or above-mirror lights in our bathrooms. I had been thinking sconces since I have noticed more sconce choices at lighting stores/websites vs. above-mirror lights. I also sometimes find above-mirror lighting to be intimidating. However, our electrician was really trying to convince me that lighting will be too dim with sconces and that I will need to get two for each sink.
What do others think?
Thanks so much!
Light is more important to me than style. I like the globes (not clear) above the mirror that point down and I like 6 over the center of the vanity, even if there are 2 sinks. I stand in the center to use my curling iron and put on my make up, so that is where I need the light. I had that at my last house and when I ordered them for this house they put in 6 lights but 3 over each sink and the light was not near as good as it should have been.
My builder told me that globe ceiling lights in the bedroom would not a good light, he was right.
This post was edited by EmmaR on Tue, Jul 8, 14 at 19:40
The best light for putting on makeup etc is light at the sides of the mirror. The lights we used could have been placed either above the mirror or to the sides. We had room on the sides in one bathroom, not in the other so we did one of each. Both are fine, emitting a lot of light, but the light quality is somewhat better in the bathroom with the lights on the sides.
NewEnglandSara, if you look at a professional photographer taking head-and-shoulder shots or other portraits, he or she always will find a way to avoid direct flash on the face. In a studio, photographers bounce lights off reflective umbrellas; in the field, in a journalistic situation, pros bounce flash off the ceiling or a side wall, or even off a large card mounted above the flash.
You control the lighting in your bathroom; why would you use harsh direct light when you have the opportunity to design your bathroom for flattering diffused reflected light at your vanity?
I agree with chispa. If you do a google search you'll find that side lighting is much more flattering than lighting above (at the vanity) that cast down shadows. Our original lighting (1981) was side lighting...elongated globes that hung from chains on the ceiling. 100 watts each in those babies. That was a bright bathroom! I used a lighted makeup mirror to apply makeup. I had a 7' long vanity with 2 sinks. I had plenty of light standing at the middle of the vanity to do hair. I don't have as good lighting in the updated bathroom :( I have recessed lighting, a mini chandilier over the tub and a sconce on the wall next to the toilet. The chandy, sconce and recessed lighting are all on different switches. I intended to have side sconces at the vanity but couldn't find what I wanted and quite frankly just ran out of time. Side lighting and recessed on different switches, imo, would be optimal.
Conventional wisdom is that sconces offer the most flattering light, and that's probably true. For my own bathroom, however, I want the most useful, *realistic* light. I'm not going to be lit in a flattering way in an office, store, or outside, you know? I want to be able to do my hair and makeup with reasonable confidence that I'll look as good outside of my bathroom as I do in it. For that reason, I'm going with above-mirror lighting.
I'll also add that I don't get shadows from above-mirror lighting, only from directly overhead lighting.
I know you've already had to make your decision, but this is a very interesting discussion. I love the soft light of sconces, and we have several in our new home, but not in the bathrooms.
We chose the brightest downlight mounts available to us in the master bath because we find that we don't see as well as we used to see, and that we often "miss" things if the light level is not high enough. We prefer having a natural light source in the bath... skylight and sidelight natural light is great for makeup application, but nothing beats the harsh light of reality for exposing what really needs attending:)
I upgraded my lighting in 2 bathrooms recently. One with double wall sconces and the other with a traditional over the mirror vanity light.
The double sconce setup does produce more light, but I can't complain at all about the over the mirror setup. I found all of the bathroom lights online at Lighting Direct.
The traditional vanity lights seemed easier to find deals on a variety of styles, while the wall sconces were difficult to find one that I really liked at a good price.
I totally agree with bowbat and musicgal.
I get that sconces on the sides create a more flattering light. That would be great if I were having a date in my bathroom and wanted to look irresistible over a glass of wine while seated at the vanity.
But I want reality and truth before I go out to face the world. I'm actually going to be seen in direct sunlight and harsh lighting, like running into people in the supermarket and CVS. That's what I prep for.
I also agree that over the mirror lights are virtually shadow-free, as compared to ceiling lights.

Never be scared to ask the experts for advice before lighting a fire was the message from Clutha's principal rural fire officer, who finished this month after nearly two years in the role.
Neville Hills resigned to take up a job with Forest Management but said the service was in a good position, with up to date systems and upgraded equipment.
Hills' contract is expected to expire by July when six regional rural fire authorities run by district councils, including Clutha, will merge into one organisation called the Otago Enlarged Rural Fire District.
Hills hoped the transition would be smooth but nothing changed easily, he said.
''Initially it's going to be a challenge ... but I think it will steady as she goes for the first 12 months.''
Rural Fire members dealt to blazes outside town borders and there were groups of about 20 people based in Papatowai and Waihola plus a Fulton Hogan team of 10 in Balclutha.
They were all on call 24 hours a day and ''like all emergency responders, very few were paid'', Hills said.
''A volunteer is a special person regardless of what they volunteer for.''
When Hills first started he conducted a questionnaire, asking people why they joined the rural fire service.
''The highest response was to help out my community ... it didn't say anything about fighting fires.''
A former forestry contractor, Hills had been a rural fire officer most of his working life.
''It goes hand in hand with forestry really.''
One fire that stood out as a lucky escape was a blaze near Clinton last year when sparks from a train landed on dry vegetation.
The conditions meant it was ''like putting bellows on it ... it just went boom'', he said.
However, the quick response from fire crews meant the farmer did not lose all his feed, Hills said.
''The ramifications [of a fire] are bigger than just one day.''
Deliberately lit fires were one of the hardest parts of the job, he said.
''It's a nightmare when it is hot and dry and you know someone out there is lighting fires.''
His key message was to get advice before lighting a fire, rural fire officers were there to check conditions, offer help and issue permits.
A new weather system meant up to date conditions about wind and temperature could be checked on the Clutha District Council website.
''There's a lot of information there for people wanting to burn or even just enjoy the day with.''
A restricted fire season remained in place throughout April and permit forms were available at cluthadc.govt.nz/RuralFire.htm

Exactly two years ago, during his weekly address to the nation, President Obama proudly announced that his administration was awarding Abound Solar a $400 million stimulus loan guarantee. The announcement, in the midst of the Obama administration's much hyped "Recovery Summer," was part of the president's address entitled, "A Solar Recovery."

How BYU, Utah and USU's opponents fared in week 5: Wyoming, Wisconsin fall; Oregon State, Arizona State surging
Marcio Jose Sanchez, Associated Press
Week five was very successful for local teams, save Weber State.
Both the Utah State Aggies and the BYU Cougars came away victorious. Meanwhile, the Utes are in the midst of preparation for their second Pac-12 game of the 2013 season.
For many of Utah's opponents, this week was equally as successful. Many teams came away with blowout wins. By the same token, because conference season has largely begun, many of Utah and USU's opponents were on the receiving end of those blowouts.
That said, the early conference season has had its number of nail-biters and shocking upsets, particularly in the Mountain West.
Join us as we take a look at how each of the teams on the schedules of BYU, Utah and Utah State fared.

Tehran: Iranian Defence Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi Saturday warned against military intervention by foreign forces in Syria, the ISNA news agency reported.
If the foreign forces enter Syria, "for sure, there will be a big crisis in the region and definitely the losers of the (potential) crisis will be the Westerners and the supporters of the Zionist regime (of Israel)", Vahidi was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
The minister stressed that Iran has no military forces in Syria, and that the Syrian government has not asked Tehran to do so.
He said Syria has a powerful military and enjoys public support, and therefore Syrians themselves can deal with the foreigners` "adventurism" in their own country.
The Syrian conflict has claimed 14,000-20,000 lives since March 2011, according to estimates by Syrian opposition groups and the UN.

Day 2 in Shanghai
The first part of today was logistical. Got a night-train ticket to Huangshan after searching for quite a while to find where to buy it. Then I met up with Pam and Spider for lunch and a wall through Jing'an temple, both of which were amazing. Only have iPhone photos at the moment as I'm in the train station waiting for my train, so I'll post a few of those. Better ones will have to wait for later. After that I hung out and ...

The journey takes about 30 minutes and realize that we've booked a hotel in the suburbs. Beijing is a big city and the metro stretches to 20km from the centre. The stations are spaced out and we exit the wrong one. We walk for a mile before we find our hotel. At last! We meet our friend Nathalie who arrived in the morning from Paris. We're happy to ...

Most dogs feel slighted while camping. Humans get fancy, engineered tents to crawl inside and stay warm, cozy, and out of the elements. Some dogs get a bed roll and a toy, but lucky dogs get a luxurious Houndstooth Dogtent made by John Santos, founder of New York-based graphic design studio Common Space. This dogtent is collapsible, made from biodegradable plastic and will make your pup more stylish out-of-doors than you.
Common Space teamed up with Matt Penrose to compete in the annual design/build camping trip hosted by apparel brand F.S.C..This year's theme was to design something that took the "roughing" out of "roughing it." Since dogs are often overlooked in the great outdoors, the Common Space/Penrose design team thought that a a stylish A-frame dog tent would elevate their experience.
The tent pieces come rolled up in a handy satchel. Upon removal, the individual plastic pieces are fitted together to form a houndstooth patterned tent cover, with a smaller houndstooth pattern on the inside. This is then draped over bamboo poles. Did we mention it's made from biodegradable plastic? Hopefully it will survive a downpour. Check out the pics below to see it put together.

Evidently John Santos has NEVER gone camping himself let alone with a dog.
Surfaces get way below freezing and unless your dog is a cold weather breed you shouldn't let your pooch sleep on the ground. Cold weather dogs should only sleep outdoor when in packs so that they may close in a huddle.
Dogs, as said above, are to sleep with the owner in his/her tent to protect not only from the climate but from wild animals.
jeffb123 May 2, 2012 at 2:34 pm
Have any of you done any real backpacking with your dog? Sometimes a dog tent is crucial. I use a hammock when I'm out on the trail. If she crawls under while it's raining that's fine if there is no water running underneath. If it's windy, she's screwed. I know for a fact she's had sleepless nights on mountain tops because of screaming winds. That said, I'd cut the designer some slack. If my dog could hike with it, considering she carries her own gear. It would be more practical.
cswiggie February 25, 2009 at 12:13 pm
I can't imagine that a dog would want to sit under such a thing, unless it was raining…? I think most dogs like to be outside. I agree though, my dog stays in my tent.
donaldwaters February 25, 2009 at 9:17 am
Yes, Perhaps Mr Santos should try a bit of 'common sense' rather than naming his company 'common space'. This has to be one of the most worthless articles on inhabitat. Please try and vet articles before they are posted.

I completely agree with gettingbored — it seems like a waste of materials and time.
gettingboredofthis February 24, 2009 at 10:01 am
why is this even posted on here? producing something completely unecessary and then saying it is biodegradable and therefore green is missing the point entirely about sustainable design. i'm with bigfatduck, if you want the dog there it should sleep in the tent with you.
SC February 23, 2009 at 7:59 pm
I don't know if that would keep the element off the dog but, it sure looks cool. Great design….
bigfatduck February 23, 2009 at 7:43 pm
am i to assume it's not common practice to have your dog sleep inside the tent with you, as i've always done? :\
