A pragmatist's manifesto.
My city, San Francisco, is in the midst of an affordability crisis. People here are angry and afraid. The skyrocketing cost of housing comes up in seemingly every conversation and dominates local news and local politics.
The recent piece on San Francisco's housing crisis I wrote for The Atlantic Cities seemed to hit a nerve. But it was mostly devoted to describing how the city got to be a place with the highest housing costs in the country. Now, I want to turn to what we can actually do about it.
We face a complex problem. It has roots in income inequality, a national issue, as well as regional anti-growth attitudes that extend well beyond the city boundaries. But at the city level, there are a surprising number of things we can definitely do.
Protect existing rent-controlled housing units
San Francisco has roughly 172,000 units of rent-controlled housing. Rent control is the city's core tenant protection, allowing many people to stay here. The first thing the city needs to do is to make sure we don't lose those units.
As housing prices go up, there is ever more incentive for owners of rental units to find a way to get out of the landlord business and sell. One of the most often abused mechanisms is California's Ellis Act, a state law that says that landlords have the unconditional right to evict tenants to "go out of business."
Tenant groups in San Francisco have developed a set of proposals to make it more difficult for landlords to use the Ellis Act as a tool to evict people. One of the proposed reforms that seems to make sense is to discourage the practice of buying rent-controlled units for the purpose of converting to Tenancy-in-common units (TICs) or condos by requiring landlords to have been in the landlord business for some set period of time before using the Ellis Act to "leave the business."
There is a social compact in San Francisco that needs to be upheld: rent-controlled units should stay under rent control, while ownership opportunities should come from new construction.
Reinvest in San Francisco's public housing stock
The San Francisco Housing Authority has 6,300 units of public housing and roughly 9,000 Section 8 vouchers (which help subsidize rents for low-income tenants). The city is in the process of compiling a broad public housing reform plan to better manage this housing stock and provide resources to upgrade many of its public housing buildings.
At the same time, the city is also working on an ambitious program to rehabilitate its most troubled public housing units as part of a program called HOPE SF. Through Hope SF, the city government is seeking to build in a comprehensive set of social services to give residents the resources to get out of poverty. San Francisco has started this process by identifying the highest-need public housing developments (such as those at Sunnydale and Potrero Terrace), pairing them with project sponsor teams, but much of the funding for both the redevelopment and the resident services still needs to be identified.
HOPE SF and the broader set of public housing renovations offer an opportunity to physically knit public housing back into the fabric of the city. But most importantly, it means we can keep all those affordable units habitable.
Double the amount of subsidized affordable housing
San Francisco has about 16,000 units of "affordable" rental housing (not including public housing), most owned by non-profits. We need to build more.
Building housing is expensive. The construction cost of affordable housing units is the same as market rate units. But because they are subsidized, the prices paid by residents are reduced. The average subsidy per unit in San Francisco is around $250,000.
The roughly 16,000 units the city has today were built over a period of four decades—a long-term social housing program of which San Francisco should be proud. But given the wealth of San Francisco and the enormous problem we are having with housing affordability, I would suggest we adopt a long-term goal of doubling the current supply of subsidized affordable housing.
In 2012, San Francisco voters passed the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which will ultimately set aside around $50 million from the city budget each year for affordable housing construction. If we can get the state of California to create a new affordable housing program, or create one regionally ourselves, we can make our local funding go further.
But given the uncertainty of committed state and regional funding sources, it's also time for the city to make a couple of targeted investments with local money. We are experiencing extraordinary growth in the city budget right now, as a result of the boom. San Francisco's revenues for fiscal year 2013-14 are projected to be $700 million larger than the previous year. The city should consider some one-time allocations from our budget for the next couple of years aimed at having a direct impact on affordability. This money could be spent on helping to rebuild the public housing mentioned above, or it could be spent helping to buy existing buildings and make more units affordable to low-income tenants.
Doubling the amount of permanently affordable housing is an expensive prospect, but we have a base to work from: thousands of affordable projects in the development pipeline, significant funding already in place and lots of affordable housing developers who know how to produce and manage these units.
Add supply at all levels
We got into this housing crisis because we don't have enough places to live in San Francisco to meet the demand.
If we want to keep the city a place where all types of people can afford to live, we must remove obstacles to adding housing. We've seen the social consequences of what happens when we don't. Our best guess is that if we added 5,000 units a year for a sustained period of time, prices would stabilize. While San Francisco has produced just 1,500 units a year over the past two decades, Seattle has averaged 3,000, adding them in a way that has improved the vitality of its downtown and kept prices from rising as drastically. The lesson is clear: making it easier to add housing supply keeps rents lower than making it hard to add supply.
We can get to more supply and more affordability through two types of reforms. First, we need to create more "zoned capacity" in the city where the law allows housing to be added. The city usually does this by conducting neighborhood planning processes, in order to be precise about where to allow development and where not to. In fact, San Francisco has a great model for how to do the kind of planning that is community driven and strengthens neighborhoods. (The Market-Octavia Plan and the Rincon Hill Plan are two good examples). We just need to do more of it.
Second, we need to make it easier to actually build buildings that conform to the zoning rules we've decided on. In many American cities, permits are issued by city staffers who merely check to make sure that a building conforms to the community's zoning rules. But in San Francisco, even after we've done the work of figuring out our zoning rules, buildings that fit them are routinely rejected, shrunk or delayed by years of process. We need to make our own plans count, by making it much, much easier to get permission to build according to zoning.
Launch a wave of experiments to produce middle-income housing
The first three proposals are ones that could work at scale, but they leave unaddressed the thing everyone seems to be wishing for: middle income housing that's more affordable than what the market produces today, but which doesn't require subsidies.
I am not sure that such a wish can be fulfilled, but there are some strategies worth trying. It's time to experiment.
One strategy falls into the category of reducing the actual hard construction cost of new housing. This generally means building units that are affordable by design, with less space or with fewer amenities than standard housing. That could mean creating smaller units, encouraging secondary units throughout the city, or building units without parking. All of these ideas are viable, many are in great demand. We should encourage creativity and flexibility in the quest for middle-income options. Maybe we could pick a neighborhood where all new housing is encouraged to be car-free. (In many neighborhoods a majority of households are already choosing to live this way.) And certainly the prohibition on secondary units in most of the city should be repealed.
Another strategy would be to try to form strategic partnerships with universities to get them to build more housing for their students and faculty. These units could be on or off-campus; the point would be to ease some number of students and faculty out of the competition for the rest of the housing supply.
Another strategy might be to create a new option within the city's inclusionary housing law, which requires below-market rate units to be paid for by market-rate developments. Perhaps there is a way to experiment with a shallower subsidy for a larger number of units—in essence, spreading the same development subsidy across more people, to see if we can increase the supply of middle-income housing that way.
Finally, there may be a way for the city government to use publicly owned land in new ways. Can the city put surplus land into development for housing, but somehow impose a new kind of price control that ensures it is used for middle-income units? Perhaps there is an adaptation of the land trust model that the city could use for this purpose?
Use new property taxes from growing neighborhoods to improve those neighborhoods
At first this final strategy might not sound like it has anything to do with housing affordability, but it does, because it supports conditions in which well-considered development can continue to happen. Right now, certain neighborhoods are growing a lot more than others. If those neighborhoods are going to continue to grow, the current residents need to experience tangible benefits. We need to establish a bargain in which neighborhoods that accept growth can experience an improved neighborhood as part of the deal.
Of course there are people who will oppose physical change no matter what – even if it's well designed, even if it's in the right locations, even if it comes with neighborhood improvements. But there are also legitimate concerns from people who care about their neighborhoods. The promise of new development is not just that the new buildings themselves will improve neighborhoods (although if well-designed, they often do), not just that they will provide more customers to support more retail options (although this usually happens), but also that they will provide funding to undertake public improvements in the neighborhood: parks, sidewalk widening, transit improvements, etc. This was implicitly promised in many of the neighborhood plans that were adopted. The city needs to do more to make good on those promises.
Some of the neighborhoods south of downtown that were planned for highrise development (South Beach, Rincon Hill, and Transbay) are generating hundreds of millions of dollars every year in new property taxes, way above the costs of providing basic public services to those neighborhoods. More of this money should be spent making improvements to the neighborhoods that are generating the revenue.
• • • • •
In the long run, the only solution that will actually benefit the vast majority of people is to fix the supply problem. And the hard truth about San Francisco's housing affordability problem is that most measures we could enact will take years, if not decades, to show results.
The solutions here have two great virtues: 1) they are legal; and 2) they are capable of being implemented at the city level. They were developed through months of dialogue with housing leaders and city officials, and we are extremely pleased to see that they align with the Mayor's announced agenda for 2014.
It's also important to remember that it's not just San Francisco that needs to build more housing. Every city in the region needs to do its part if we are going to have an impact on housing costs. If other cities of the Bay Area did their part to create more walkable neighborhoods, there would be less gentrification pressure on the few that we do have. As everyone points out, we can't look at this issue just within one city. Oakland, San Jose, and the other cities of the Bay Area are all part of the solution.
Our work in San Francisco would be much easier if we had support from the national level, both to provide help for a social housing program, and more fundamentally to address income inequality. But as that doesn't appear to be forthcoming we must take the lead locally. We need things like a higher city minimum wage (to increase purchasing power at the bottom of the income scale) and a major reinvestment in Muni (to reduce household transportation costs). We may be one of the first cities to experience this problem with huge new demand for city living that requires us to change our approach to affordability, but we certainly won't be the last.

In wheel motors
In wheel motors
Check these threads. Discussed several times.
The threads were very negative about the idea. It is, however, the obvious future as light, rugged and powerful motors/brakes would clearly be far superior to the set-ups used today.
It is just a matter of time before suitable motors are developed, probably a decade. Surely Tesla keeps abreast of this technology and I like to think there are Tesla secret lairs where project like this are underway.
Perhaps some level of superconductivity will be required to make small, light and powerful wheel motors. In time all things electric will be revolutionized by this technology and that includes Teslas.
The big problem is unsprung weight. If you can make a smaller, lighter motor, it's best to put it into the body of the vehicle. There is really no advantage to putting motors in the wheels. Think about it, if you go over a bump and have a lot of mass, the wheel will bounce higher and have a harsher ride. Why do you think high-end cars try and have light wheels? Plus the motor will be subject to a lot more vibration and there are now more things that can go wrong.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprung_mass or better yet, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsprung_weight
The advantage to having the motor in the wheel is to eliminate all the axle components, CV joints and such. And each wheel could be sent power independently, also eliminating differentials and limited slip mechanisms.
Cornering and traction could be handled in ways not now available, as each motor is controlled totally independently of the others. Handling and safety would be well beyond what is available now.
Braking could be handled as well, anti-skid of course to each wheel with even back-spin available. This would eliminate today's brake components.
Your Tesla would have motors with tires attached. Nothing would look as kool as that and all other cars would look like they were not worthy.
Of course, as was mentioned, they motors cannot be heavy as the ride quality would suffer....unless Tesla uses an electric suspension where the wheels are pulled and pushed up and down by electric shocks. For example, the is a speed bump ahead. The suspension is pulled up as the tire just hits the bump and then puts it back down on the other side. This would somewhat negate the heavy motor, but that heaviness would put a strain on the mechanisms.
In any case, a motor in each wheel is a swell thing conceptually.
Puddles. Potholes. Mud. Slush. Salted roads.
Hub motors are fine for forklifts intended for indoor use, but not much else.
I'd like my motors protected from the elements, thank you.
Hub motors increase unsprung weight and they are weak compared to normal emotor. You could have four normal motors instead, single motor is not very large so there is space for them if you just sacrifice a bit trunk/frunk space.

text: I just got a box in the mail containing a flying pig. Well, a plastic pig with wings that flap that you can hang from the ceiling, not something that actually flies. The reason? UltraVision says people told them they'd see through walls, "when pigs fly," and now, well, they can do it, so here are some flying pigs. I guess I have an issue with their definition of "seeing." Watch this video and tell me if you think this qualifies as "seeing" through anything. Okay, done now? I'm thinking that detection motion through walls (or the ground, or whatever) is pretty darn cool and useful, but doesn't really qualify as "seeing" anything. Sure, you can judge the size and speed of the object, but you don't know whether it's holding a gun, or is actually two people, etc. I think this is one of those cases of overselling something that doesn't need to be oversold.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, some low quality grain, controversial filler
This product is a veterinary diet, but is not indicated for the treatment of disease. Our comments relate solely to our opinion of the ingredients used in this product and are made on equal footing with any other large breed product not marketed under a 'veterinary diet' label.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat ingredient in the food.
The main grains in the food are rice and wheat. Rice is a decent quality grain, but we note it appears here in two forms (split). It is likely that the combined rice ingredients are actually the true first ingredient in the food. There are a further three grain products, making this food appear very heavy in grain and light in meat content. Barley and oats are also decent quality grains, but the use of wheat is a negative. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allegies in dogs. In gluten form, this ingredient is a low quality filler. It is the dried residue from wheat after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. The husks of pysllium seeds are further filler.

Even though shes only 18 years old Indie Pop artist Audrianna Cole is one of those proverbial Old Souls you hear about. Shes lived a lot of years for not even being 20 yet - shes faced lifes trials and drama with courage and poise and come out the other end with a worldview and a voice so rich and womanly itll touch your heart and send shivers across your skin at the same time.
Audrianna was practically born singing as the old clich� goes - her first musical inspirations were the typical childhood heroes like Backstreet Boys and Britney but as she grew older and her voice grew bigger her musical tastes evolved to include rock and blues influences like Johnny Cash and Lightnin Hopkins.
Growing up in the picturesque and musically-rich Pacific Northwest Audrianna sang in school choir and played Simba in the musical The Lion King and that was pretty much her life until fate stepped in and dramatically ed the course of her life.
Audrianna accompanied her military father to his civilian part-time job on a Saturday four years ago and as they were stopped in traffic an 18-wheeled Semi slammed into them at freeway speeds. She had minor injuries her father wasnt so fortunate.
My Dad was hurt and bleeding and it was so traumatizing wondering if he was going to be all right she says.
Her fathers injuries were so severe that he was discharged from the military and spent a long time recovering at home. Audrianna decided to leave public school to be home-schooled so she could care for her father while her Mom fulfilled her active military duties. In between her fathers recuperation her homeschooling and learning guitar the pair started recording karaoke tracks and putting them up on a MySpace page. Her dad sent out thousands of messages and friend invites to promote his daughters growing talent - one of those new friends turned out to be Florida-based talent manager Kelly Newton with Jack N Jill Management.
It was a chance meeting of burgeoning artist and powerhouse manager but it was a combination that was inspired and meant for greatness right from the beginning. Kelly arranged for Audrianna to go to Nashville and the rest is history. Audrianna has recently written with some of musics most accomplished songwriters and producers including: Stefan Skarbek (Amy Winehouse) Sasha Skarbek (Jason Mraz James Blunt Duffy Adele Paul McCartney Joss Stone) Dave Tozer (John Legend Jay-Z Kanye West Justin Timberlake John Mayer Natasha Bedingfield) KNS (Lady Gaga 50 Cent Britney Backstreet Boys) Marty Dodson (Kenny Chesney Billy Currington) Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift) and Jennifer Hanson (The Wreckers).
With all that stellar talent shes worked with Audrianna endured a fair amount of nurturing and guiding to be sure but more importantly she blossomed like a hundred acres of Morning Glory vines opening up to soak up the musical sunlight. She discovered her true sound and voice as an artist. Shes no longer that 14 year old girl recording cover songs in her kitchen but has grown into a creative musical force as a songwriter singer and performer.
Her voice and her sound are a stunning mix of happy-go-lucky love songs filled with fun adventure and poignant universal themes its quirky and identifiable and simple but very deep all at once. Her surprising womanly vocals are on par with Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse but come from a genuine newly-discovered teenage chick musician who might stand five feet tall on a good day. Audrianna has that IT quality that record labels and fans instantly recognize - a perfect blend of talent charisma and staying power.
Currently at work recording her debut album Audriannas output so far is a handful of nearly finished master recordings and if they are any indication of whats to come from the first album or her tenth its going to be a long and lovely career path this girl with an Old School sound and New School style blesses us with.
Its funny how life works out she says that if her family hadnt gone through their traumatic and trying time that she would have never ultimately seen herself fulfilling her lifes meaning - to create and sing and share. Theres magic in music and in those musical goose bump moments and in life she says.
The magic of music for me means the feeling of amazement. The feeling of connection to someone else and thats ideally what I want out of all this - for someone to turn to me for some sort of shoulder or friend when they need one in life. I wanna be a goose-bump artist.

Iraq warns of unforeseen effects of Syria strike
Published: 04th September 2013 06:40 PM | Last Updated: 04th September 2013 07:03 PM | A+A A-
Iraq's prime minister is warning that an outside military strike on neighboring could have unforeseen consequences, and says United Nations inspectors should have a chance to report their findings on allegations of chemical weapons use.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said in a televised address Wednesday that any decision to strike before the U.N. investigators release their findings would be "hasty." He says the world should wait for the results of the probe before the "party responsible is held accountable."
Al-Maliki reiterated Iraq's opposition to foreign involvement in the conflict. He says the backers of a military strike will not be able to control its effects.
Baghdad is official neutral in civil war, but Iraq's Shiite-led government fears it could suffer if mainly Sunni rebels are victorious.

Climate change has received no billing in this tightly-contested presidential election, with perhaps the only exception being the time Mitt Romney brought it up at his nomination ceremony to deride President Barack Obama.
The president, Mr. Romney said then, �promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet � My promise is to help you and your family.�
The devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy along the Eastern seaboard should show us that talking about climate change is not funny in the least.
Nevertheless, if you think the storm will nudge us toward a more sobering perspective on climate change and its impact on the planet, don�t hold your breath.
Professor James Gomes, director of the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise at Clark University, is, for example, among those pessimistic about Hurricane Sandy creating any groundswell of support for climate change intervention policies.
�It didn�t happen after Katrina and it didn�t happen after Irene,� he said of the potential of extreme weather to change minds. �While there is wide consensus among scientists that global climate change is under way, no one can tie any actual weather action to climate change, and that makes it easier to keep their heads in the sand.�
According to Mr. Gomes, among the adverse effects of climate change, which most scientists believe is caused by human activities, are rising sea levels; increased acidification of the oceans, which impacts sea life and the food chain, and extreme weather � droughts and storms.
And while Americans believe in greenhouse gases and global warming, they are generally resistant to many of the proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly because of the financial costs.
As a result, both political parties tend to believe that talking about climate change loses votes, and thus are more likely to talk about the economic harm of $4-a-gallon gas prices, rather than about devastating impacts climate change can have on the planet.
�Our political leaders are not willing to tell the truth, because the truth is unpopular,� Mr. Gomes said.
But it is not that all politicians are deaf to the clarion call of the scientific community.
Earlier this year, Congressman Ed Markey, noting that Massachusetts loses about 2.8 million square feet of land each year because of rising sea levels, reportedly said global warning was not a distant but an immediate treat to the commonwealth.
When Mr. Obama was running for election in 2008, he referred to the potential impact of climate change as one of the �greatest moral challenges of our generation,� while U.S. Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate that year, called for set limits on greenhouse gas emissions.
However, the tide has changed significantly in this year�s presidential election.
While the president mentioned climate change a number of times throughout his presidency, he has said very little about it since the midterm elections.
His re-election website does not raise the issue, nor does Mr. Romney�s, and it is not being raised on the campaign trail.
Mr. Gomes believes that young people � as they have done in some of the great social changes of our times, whether it was the Civil Rights movement or the war in Vietnam � will have to play the activist role in bringing their parents along when it comes to acting on climate change.
If that is the case, the young certainly have work to do, because while Hurricane Sandy might not change minds, it certainly offers us a glimpse of what is at stake in the battle between forces that would milk the planet for all it�s worth, and those that would try to preserve it for future generations.

Two get prison for beating Giants fan at Dodger Stadium
- Two men plead guilty after their jailhouse conversations were recorded
- Judge denounces them as %27nightmare%27 for sports fans
- The beating prompted public outrage and led to increased security
LOS ANGELES – A California judge sentenced two men to prison Thursday for the brutal 2011 opening day beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium, calling them "the biggest nightmare'' of fans at sporting events.
Superior Court Judge George Lomeli sternly lectured Louis Sanchez and Marvin Norwood in a crowded courtroom after they entered guilty pleas for the beating that left Bryan Stow brain-damaged and permanently disabled.
Stow, 45, a Santa Cruz paramedic and father of two, was leaving Dodger Stadium after the March 31, 2011, opening game when he was attacked from behind. Prosecutors said Sanchez knocked Stow unconscious during an unprovoked attacked in the stadium's parking lot.
He suffered severe brain trauma and will require long-term care and 24-hour assistance for the rest of his life.
Sanchez, 31, pleaded guilty to one count of mayhem and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Norwood, 33, was sentenced to four years in state prison after pleading guilty to assault.
Both will get credit for time already served in jail, and in Norwood's case that may be enough to allow his immediate release, Deputy District Attorney Michele Hanisee said. But both still face federal weapons charges.
"You are the biggest nightmare for people who attend public events," Superior Court Judge George Lomeli told the pair, calling them cowards who instill fear in sports fans.
"You not only ruined the life of Mr. Stow (but) his children, his family, his friends," the judge said.
Stow's family spoke before sentencing and described his daily suffering as a result of the attack.
"Prison is what you cretins deserve,'' said David Stow, the victim's father.
Sister Bonnie Stow described his life "after you brutally and cowardly attacked him.''
"We shower him, we dress him, we fix his meals," she said. "We make sure he gets his 13 medications throughout the day. He takes two different anti-seizure medications to prevent the seizures he endured for months."
The beating prompted public outrage and led to increased security at Dodgers' games.
The pair was charged after a massive manhunt and at least one mistaken arrest. They were convicted in part based on secretly recorded jailhouse conversations in which they discussed the attack.

Northwest Family Services' Lasting Relationship was a federally funded project under Administration for Children and Families that took place over nine years. This project served the greater Portland metropolitan community. In addition to the work of Northwest Family Services, our partnerships with Multnomah County Health Department and Catholic Charities allowed us to serve almost 60,000 people with evidence-based programs. Services included helping high school students and singles understand the dynamics of a healthy relationship and how to avoid dangerous and damaging relationships. Couples learned parenting skills, money management strategies, and effective ways to strengthen their relationships. Employment services were also included as economic mobility is key of all child well-being and family stability. The evaluations that we received over the course of 9 years consistently showed that over 95% of individuals indicated improvement. NWFS continues to offer job readiness support in Clackamas County. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to serve. Check our website for other services.

Numbers tell one story, but stories show the impact this program made in people's lives. There are 60,000 stories, but this story illustrates how these programs changed lives:
I grew up under and in generational addiction. As a child I believed I wasn't important and had no value and as I became an adult I continued the path I knew and thought was normal. I was an addict. I was a prostitute and caught up in trafficking. I was homeless. And I was a bad mom. Even though my kids were the most important thing to me, my addiction made my want a need, and my need became my "normal."
A year ago I got my chance for a "do-over." I came into a shelter and began to heal. Three days in, child services found me, prepared to take my 4 kids away. Being in the shelter required me to take classes, get treatment, begin to get stable, and kept my family with me. This was my saving grace. The parenting classes offered by Northwest Family Services has helped to transform not just myself as a mom, but my family. I learned about brain development and the effect of trauma, not just my own, but what was happening in the lives of my kids. Instead of feeling paralyzed by what I had done to my children, I began to make changes in myself as a parent, which began to change each of us. The more I could practice healthy communication, the more my kids could do the same. Three of my kids are under the age of 5, and all of us are able to express our feelings and needs with words like, "When you do _____, I feel ____. Please _____." We no longer live in raging chaos. We are relearning what it means to be a family, and what "normal" really is.
My oldest and I have had a lot of healing to do together, having a longer amount of time living with my poor actions as a mom. She is the strongest young lady I know and seeing her believe and know herself differently than I did growing up gives me so much joy. She knows she has value, and she knows that her path doesn't have to be the same as the women in our family before her. She has seen the strength it takes and creates when you "do things differently." She will often comment, "You had parenting class today, didn't you?" The impact of these classes reaches far beyond the participants alone, it changes families. It changes futures.

"Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" – 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
Paul considered himself an ambassador for God. That is, he knew his calling was to spread God's message…to give man God's instructions. The same is true for believers today. In simple terms, believers were called by God to know Him and to make Him known. This is Paul's declaration.
So, what is it that Paul preached? What was God's message to mankind that he was called to share? That seems to be a simple question. But today, one would think otherwise. In this short space, let us seek to expound this important passage.
Paul declared this to mankind – "We implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God". You see, none of us naturally are in harmony with God…not even as a baby. We are all born sinners with a sinful nature. Paul Washer recently was giving a lecture in which he said, "I'm about to give you the worst possible news – God is good". The crowd immediately replied, "Why is that bad news?" Washer's response was simple – "Well, God is good…and we are not". Certainly, this speaks loudly of the need for reconciliation. That's what the Apostle Paul preached and that's what we are to preach.
Notice, Paul didn't limit this to any one group of sinners like we have a tendency to do. Oftentimes, we almost justify one sin by categorizing another as heinous. But the truth is, all sin is heinous to God. It is a stench to God's holy nostrils. So, we need to be reconciled. But how?!
Simply, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him". Jesus…God's perfect, holy Son…the very image of the invisible God… lived a perfect life completely free of sin. He didn't deserve to die. Yet, He willingly laid His life down for sinners "that we might become the righteousness of God in Him". That is, just as our sin was imputed to Christ at Calvary, so His righteousness is imputed to us when we are brought to faith by God's grace (Romans 3:22).
So, there are basically two points here. First, to those that are yet in their sins, be reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ! Repent of your sins and trust Him. We pray God opens your heart to this message even today! Secondly, to the believer, you too are an ambassador of God. Share the Good News of Christ's sacrificial death with sinners. Aren't you glad somebody shared it with you?

The Condom Conundrum: Facts About Finding the Right Fit
With STDs on the Rise, You Play a Vital Role in Prevention
All too often, condoms don't fit right or don't enable a positive experience. This causes some people to skip the precaution altogether and instead, engage in unprotected sex. A condom that does not accurately match your size can produce loss of feeling which can then cause you to lose your erection. Furthermore, some condoms are not exactly the most fragrant compliment to a romantic situation. These factors cause the importance of condom use to be neglected. This means that some sexually active people, their partners and members of the dating scene at large are unnecessarily exposed to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
These infections include herpes, HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia among others and they are being spread at an all time high. Aside from abstinence, the best strategy against infection is to consistently use condoms during sex. Sticking to this rule does not mean that you are relegated to the meager selection at the corner drugstore. Condoms are available in a vast array of sizes, thicknesses, textures and fragrances — so that sex can remain delightful with the added bonus of being as safe as possible.

Okay, so this may come across completely rude, but I feel it needs to be said. I was super excited as a fellow Mormon, to find an awesome Mormon fashion blogger. Loving the style, everything. And then I checked out your photo shoot from Ruche. Was there really no way to be modest? I was so disappointed that the photo shoot took over for your temple attire. You know what I mean?!

Goodbye Old Friend
The World Cup is an extraordinary 64 games in a four-week span. So much football in what seems like a massive span of time. Yet the competition went in a flash and suddenly a new winner is crowned and the glorious world tournament is over for another four years. There is a feeling of slight depression when saying goodbye to this old friend, that stops by but once every four years. They leave you in a state of awe, sadness, surprise, joy, and most of all, hungry for more. It's a cruel, cruel way to come and go, but alas, this is what we love about the beautiful game's most prestigious tournament.
You could say many things about this World Cup, but in the end, it was a tournament of firsts. South Africa became the first African nation to host a World Cup, and they put on a brilliant show. People all over the world were opened up to a new culture and vibrant people who were as enthusiastic about football as any other great footballing nation around. The crowds were full of energy, and supported their home countries, as well as the other African nations all the way to the bitter end when Ghana were overcome by Uruguay.
It was also the first time the host nation went out of the tournament at the group stage. It wasn't for lack of trying, South Africa had a splendid start against Mexico and earned a well-deserved 1-1 draw, but they capitulated to a very strong Uruguay side. Their win against France was a nice way to go out, but may have been overlooked due to France's ultimate display of atrociousness.
Spain, the victors, proudly walked away with the World Cup trophy for the first time in its nation's history. Not only did they win the final, but they made it to the semifinals for the first time as well. And not only that, but they also were the first European team to win the cup outside of Europe. To go on such a run as they did, and beat Germany in the semifinal, you had to think this was their tournament to lose. That being said, if the Dutch had overcome this resilient Spanish side, they would have also been declared winners for the first time in their history as well.
The World Cup 2010 was not just a time for firsts, but also for surprises. Massive footballing nations bowed out of the competition at much earlier stages than anyone had anticipated. And it's not even to say they were beaten by far better teams. One of the major stories at this year's World Cup has to be the way many teams performed well below par. You could name a handful of countries including favorites Brazil and Argentina, as well as England, France, Italy, Ivory Coast, and Portugal that crashed out. The stars on these teams all have a lot to answer for as many of them left the tournament embarrassed and disgraced.
It wasn't all roses, though. France deserves some kind of medal for being the most deplorable side in attendance. Raymond Domenech should be ashamed of himself and his team for putting on such a ridiculous World Cup campaign. You could argue they had no right to be there after Henry's "Hand of God," but to play their games with such a poor spirit and lack of respect was a shame. Many other countries would have been happy to take France's place.
There's no way to talk about this World Cup without mentioning the officiating. The refereeing has got to be one of the most abysmal displays at a World Cup to date. What started off strong in the first few group games slowly turned into a nightmare for the tournament's referees and FIFA. Too many red cards and important, game-changing plays missed by the officials cost teams dearly when the stakes were incredibly high. Lampard's well over-the-line goal and Tevez's clear offside have to be two of the biggest mistakes. And of course, who could forget the perfectly good goal-that-never-was for the USA against Slovenia to win the game 3-2. The USA still topped their group, but it made their last game a must-win in the end. The sad thing is, despite these easily correctable offenses, Sepp Blatter and his gang of misfits don't seem intent on fixing things anytime soon. Knowing them, we'll be watching the ball cross the line and waved off at the next World Cup in 3-D, but still with no goal-line technology.
I suppose football wouldn't be football but for all the ups and downs. When all is said and done, it was an engrossing tournament. Full of shocks, headlines, referring decisions, star names (new and old), and in the end, it exploded with footballing wonder as only the World Cup can produce. It's a shame we have to wait so long to meet again, but as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Goodbye old friend, until we meet again in Brazil.

Cerebral Ballzy live for first impressions. Their entire fanbase is derived of people to whom the idea of naming a band after a debilitating mental illness is either high-larious or lame enough to ignore. Whichever your preference, this Brooklyn five-piece force you to commit to their distorted worldview from the moment you pick up their self-titled debut album. With a tracklisting seemingly written by one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - my guess is Michelangelo - the likes of 'Sk8 All Day' and 'Cutting Class' command a caricatured High School brat's mentality to survive any derisory backlash.
Given their 12 track record is a mere 19 minutes in length, the amount of time Cerebral Ballzy dedicate to the cause of ludicrous posturing is frankly astounding but ultimately it's what endears them most. Wreaking hardcore havoc with an ear to ear grin is a look that fits our mischief makers like a glove and given their brief tenure, it rarely has a chance to wear off. While it's never actually clear if 'Office Rocker' and 'Puke Song' betray the genuine belief teenage rebellion has never been done before or whether our unruly protagonists are just having too much fun to care, the band's devotion to such snotty ideals cannot be questioned.
In between auditioning for the Biker Mice From Mars live-action movie, Cerebral Ballzy found a few spare minutes to write some songs. They are mostly totally rad maaaaaaan. "Catch me if you can," wails lead singer Honor Titus over a chopping grunge guitar chords, "On the run. I'm on the run." The track is unsurprisingly called 'On The Run'. "I can't turn my head without someone trying to influence me, he later pontificates over a cackling drum beat, "Eat this. Buy this. Be here. No fuck you man." The track is titled 'Don't Tell Me What To Do'. You have probably sussed the general songwriting pattern by now.
Sonically, this band of delinquents position themselves at the fast and furious end of punk rock, propelling themselves into 'Junkie For Her' with an impressively taught rhythmically assault. Often, as with 'Drug Myself Dumb', they leave themselves no room to fabricate some drama between walls of visceral noise. Not that the instant gratification of 'Insufficient Fare' needs any added gravitas, but if Cerebral Ballzy don't burn out before their second album they'll find few slacker bases left to touch down on.
Regardless, Cerebral Ballzy is an album too desperate for your immediate attention to have any concerns beyond the last bar of 'Anthem'. Its tearaway composers aren't the menacing representation of the anti-establishment ideals they claim to represent. But it's hard to imagine their songs being anywhere near as enjoyable if they ditched their love of pizza for Plato and Aristotle. Like a spiked orange soda punch bowl, Cerebral Ballzy are both luminous and irreverently childish. You can hate them for it. You can howl at their refusal to grow up. You'll probably succumb to them in the end.

WASHINGTON, Mar 13, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SeniorNet celebrated its 25th Anniversary in May of 2011 and now in 2012 has even more success to celebrate. The non-profit saw a nine percent growth rate in members and volume for 2011 and received a total of more than $1.275 million of in-kind donations to help seniors and underserved communities access the Internet.
With more than 60 Learning Centers, six of which are located on American Indian Reservations, SeniorNet relies on the generous support of sponsors like AT&T, IBM, Verizon, Microsoft, Adobe and US Department of the Interior Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (IEED), to provide the tools that have allowed more than a million people to learn new skills and explore the digital world. A growing network of motivated and skilled volunteers share time and wisdom to guide students to their on-line goals.
2012 Initiatives
Earlier this year, SeniorNet added three initiatives that have been particularly popular. SeniorNet recently launched a social media blog http://seniornet.org/blog/ to help familiarize users with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. SeniorNet also partnered with Winster an on-line gaming site for seniors and boomers designed to encourage social interaction, collaboration and mental stimulation through puzzles and card games. Also this year, SeniorNet entered into a partnership with Milestone Broadcast Corporation. In 1998 Milestone created Good News Planet to broadcast to the world, life affirming, thought provoking Good News, with a focus on seniors, technology, health, science, travel and entertainment from leaders in these industries. Information from Good News Planet is now available through the SeniorNet website.
"We couldn't be more pleased with our progress after a quarter Century," said Leslie M. Smith, SeniorNet board chairman and IBM Business Development Executive. "With the continued support of our sponsors, partners and volunteers we have been able to bridge the technology gap in many areas, helping seniors and the underserved enjoy fulfilling, rewarding lives."
For practical, "geek-speak-free" information about social media, visit seniornet.org/blog/, follow @SeniorNetOrg on Twitter, and "like" SeniorNet's Facebook Page today!

High Blood Pressure and the DASH Diet
Decreasing the amount of sodium you eat is important in lowering your high blood pressure. One dietary change that has been shown to help lower blood pressure is the DASH diet.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This plan helps you reduce your blood pressure. You'll eat foods that are low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, and have more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods.
The DASH eating plan includes whole grains, poultry, fish, and nuts; and, has low amounts of fats, red meats, sweets, and sugared beverages. It is also high in potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as well as protein and fiber.
Under the DASH plan, you would eat seven to eight servings of grains; four to five servings of vegetables; four to five fruit servings; two to three servings of low fat dairy products; two or fewer servings of meat, poultry or fish; and no more than two to three servings of fats and oils.
In addition, you would add four to five small servings of nuts, seeds or dry beans each week and limit yourself to no more than five servings of sweets weekly.
Ask your healthcare provider if the DASH diet is right for you.

Pratt & Whitney Green Power Grant Funds Garden Overhaul and Construction Project at Billings Forge
Phase one of a local garden construction project is now complete at Billings Forge Community Works in Hartford, Conn., thanks to many volunteer man hours, skill and, of course, money.
Billings Forge Community Works was one of several recent recipients of a Pratt & Whitney Green Power Grant, and that $5,000 award came in handy on Oct. 26, 2013 when more than 20 Pratt & Whitney volunteers and a number of community members, including several high school students, overhauled garden beds, replaced wood, weeded, picked the remaining produce of the season and began work on a pergola.
"Pratt helped design the plans for the beds and the pergola that's going to be in the middle," said Abigail Piva, an employee of Pratt & Whitney who was instrumental in organizing the day's construction event.
"This is a community garden for the people who live in the Billings Forge community. The Kitchen is actually a restaurant, and they take food from the garden, and they use it in The Kitchen. It's a non-profit restaurant, so the proceeds go back into the community that comes here," said Piva.
Billings Forge Community Works Urban Agriculture Coordinator Amara Watkin-Anson added, "It's a community garden, an educational garden and a production garden. We have sections that are used for youth gardens during the summer and during the school year. Extra produce we grow, particularly herbs, goes to the Firebox and The Kitchen. The Firebox is a farm-to-table fine dining restaurant, and The Kitchen is also a retail cafe', catering business and culinary job training program."
"We're excited about building this gazebo so we can have more formal youth classes underneath it," Watkin-Anson continued. "In the past, we've just had to pitch tents and use picnic tables."
In phase two of the project, volunteers will finish the work that was started in October.
"We'll be replacing some of the wood. We don't use pressure-treated because it's bad for the soil, so it erodes after a few years. These are about four-years old, so a lot of the wood is starting to rot out, so we've started the replacement project with that," said Watkin-Anson.
"Pratt & Whitney gave us the grant as part of their Green Power Grant Program to purchase all the supplies, and they donated labor and expertise, so that's been really, really helpful," she added.
Forty-seven garden beds measuring 12' x 4', all built by volunteers using donated materials, are harvested and maintained each year by community volunteers and the families living on site. Ten of these beds are available exclusively to residents of Billings Forge.
Billings Forge Community Works encourages community participation and empowerment in the Frog Hollow section of Hartford through promoting access to healthy food, engaging youth and developing employment opportunities and economically sustainable social enterprises. Goals of Billings Forge Community Works include improving housing opportunities in the Frog Hollow community and fighting homelessness, job training, educational advancement and strengthening families through a variety of methods and resources. Community spirit is high on the organization's list of goals, and the community garden complements these initiatives. For more information about BFCW, visit them online at www.billingsforgeworks.org.
Launched in 2008, Pratt & Whitney's Green Power Grant Program provides grant money to U.S. employee volunteers for clean-up, habitat restoration and environmental education programs. Visit http://www.pw.utc.com/Environmental_Leadership for more information.

MILWAUKEE -- As the Braves prepared for Monday's Opening Day game against the Brewers, Gus Schlosser, Ian Thomas and Ryan Buchter sat in the visitors' clubhouse at Miller Park and soaked in their respective first official day as Major Leaguers.
"The beds [at the hotel] are amazing," Thomas, the Braves' No. 12 prospect as ranked by MLB.com, said. "This is the first time I have ever had my own room. The treatment here is a lot different than anything I experienced in independent ball or the Minor Leagues. But I don't want to dwell on all of that. I just want to do my job and stay here."
Thomas and Schlosser made solid first impressions as they combined to work a scoreless seventh inning during their respective big league debuts in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Brewers. After Thomas surrendered a one-out single, Schlosser showed the value of his sinker by getting Rickie Weeks to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Thomas -- who began the 2012 season with the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League -- Schlosser and Buchter were all informed that they had gained spots in the Braves' bullpen on Saturday.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez had already confirmed a few days earlier that Schlosser would begin the year at the Major League level. But this welcome news was a surprise for Buchter, who was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett last week. He was recalled to Atlanta to fill the void created when Cory Gearrin suffered what appears to be a season-ending right elbow injury.
"The past couple of days have been a wild roller-coaster ride," Buchter said. "I had kind of been out of the mix for a couple of days. But you've got to keep a clear head, because you don't ever know what is going to happen."
Given that the Braves would like him to address his command issues in the Minors, Buchter might be sent back to Gwinnett when Ervin Santana makes his expected season debut next week. But Buchter should have a chance to celebrate his rise to the big leagues with friends and family members who are expected to travel from the Philadelphia area to Washington D.C. for this weekend's series against the Nationals.
While Thomas and Buchter give Atlanta lefty middle-relief options, Schlosser could spend the next couple weeks as a long reliever and then transition into a middle-relief role. But due to their lack of depth in the rotation, the Braves could choose to keep him stretched out as a starting pitcher.

This week the show comes from the Urban Spring Festival in the Perth Cultural Centre.
Here's what was covered:
Scientist Katrina Walton from the ChemCentre talked about soil testing, and what elements you need to add to improve your soils.
Sabrina Hahn advised on how to avoid collapsing garlic, how to get tomatoes to fruit, how much ground coffee to spread on your garden, pruning proteas and she tasted a paw paw with acne! It was delicious, rest assured. She advised the fungal disease wouldn't affect the insides.
Tammy Whitcher from BirdLife Australia said there's a higher number of birds concentrating in smaller areas, and that birdsong is diminishing in urban settings.
