Joshua Trees
Need to post at least one actual picture of a Joshua tree since I went to the national park. The rock formations definitely gave this park a different look. I had no idea rock climbing was so popular here either.

Study Skills/Managing Your Workload
We all need a range of personal and life skills to help us make the best of our abilities and to be fully effective whether in study, work or in managing our wider life. For many students being at University is the first time they operate independently in order to manage the demands of study and other activities in a self-sufficient way. Developing the skills to manage yourself and your time effectively will not only support you through the process of studying, but will enable you to adapt to many situations within life and work in the future. You should aim to reflect on your learning strategies to ensure that they are appropriate for study requirements and also for your personal development as an adult learner.

What is it?
Safer sex is lowering your (and your partner's) risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and/or getting pregnant. If you choose to be sexually active, using latex or polyurethane barriers (e.g. condoms, dental dams and gloves) will lower your risk for STIs and pregnancy. Safer sex is also abstaining from sex if you have sores or other symptoms of infection, getting routine checkups for infections, and getting the correct treatment if you become infected. Safer sex supplies are available at SHC's Health Promotion office, the Student Resource Center, and through your Resident Assistant.
How to Practice It
- Use Condoms
When used consistently and correctly, latex and polyurethane condoms are highly effective
in preventing transmission of HIV when used consistently and correctly during vaginal,
oral, or anal intercourse. Condoms provide a significant level of protection against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) transmitted through infected semen or vaginal fluid because they protect both partners against exposure to these fluids. They also provide some protection against STIs that are transmitted primarily through contact with infected skin, but only on the parts that are covered or protected by the condom. They are also highly effective in preventing pregnancy.
Selecting which condom to use is a matter of personal preference. To learn which condom
is best for you, try using different kinds. Some people are loyal to certain brands because they find them visually pleasing, comfortable or sensitive. Some people are allergic to
latex and choose to use polyurethane or female condoms. Some condoms come with a thin layer of water-based lubrication on them, which can make vaginal or anal penetration more comfortable and reduce the chances of breakage from friction. If you have non- lubricated condoms, it's a good idea to add a water-based lubricant, like K-Y® liquid or jelly or Astroglide®, to reduce the risk of breakage. We do not recommend the use of condoms lubricated with the spermicide nonoxynol-9. It can irritate the vulva, vagina, penis and rectum, increasing your chance of getting an infection. - Use Dental Dams
A dental dam is a thin square of latex that is placed over the vulva (the outside of the vagina) or anus for safer oral sex. Plastic wrap (any brand) can also be used for this purpose. Free dental dams and other safer sex supplies are available at NYU.
How Not to Practice It
- Don't Double Bag
Using two condoms, or "double bagging", does not double your protection against pregnancy and STIs. Condoms are designed to be used one at a time. The use of two condoms (two male condoms or a male condom with a female condom) is not an effective safety measure. During penetration, the condoms will rub against each other creating friction between them, making them likely to slip off or break. - Don't forgo barriers if you're on the pill
Used correctly and consistently, birth control pills (oral contraceptives) and other hormonal methods like the ring are 99.7 percent effective against pregnancy. However, they offer no protection against STIs. For this reason, many people use male or female condoms in addition to a hormonal method of birth control. - Don't underestimate your risk, even if you're 'abstinent'.
- If you're not having sex, you are not alone. One out of three NYU students reported having had no sexual partner in the last school year.* However, "having sex" can mean different things to different people. Even skin-to-skin contact may put you at risk for a sexually transmitted infection (STI). For more information, visit the trusted sites listed on the right side of this page. If you are unsure about your level of risk, call the Wellness Exchange at (212) 443-9999.

I've burned another CD for the BFF. I don't think she even owns a CD player anymore, but maybe she can put the disk with her 1990s memorabilia and gaze at it whenever she gets nostalgic for the era of dialup modems and Janet Reno.
I've also created a Spotify playlist and attached it to this post. All the songs have to do with work. Track list follows.
1. "Welcome to the Working Week," Elvis Costello
2. "The Company Way," How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying (original Broadway cast recording)
3. "Fitter Happier," Radiohead
4. "No Surprises," Radiohead
5. "Call It Stormy Monday," BB King and Albert Collins
6. "Hard Times," Gillian Welch
7. "Coal Miner's Daughter," Loretta Lynn
8. "Sixteen Tons," Tennessee Ernie Ford
9. "I'm Working on a Building," Brother Grady Coffee
10. "Joe Worker," The Cradle Will Rock (original 1985 cast recording)
11. "Pirate Jenny," Bea Arthur
12. "I Never Picked Cotton," Johnny Cash
13. "Take a Job," Do Re Mi (1999 original cast recording)
14. "Inutil," In the Heights (original Broadway cast recording)
15. "The Inch Worm," Tony Bennett
16. "The Company Way (Reprise)," How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying (original Broadway cast recording)
My short reviews of Definition Theatre Company's The Brothers Size and The Mammals' Mexican Wrestling Macbeth are in this week's Chicago Reader.

It was June 5, 2011, a few minutes past noon, when the Zenkai Motorsports Race Team heard the heart-stopping call over the officials' radios at the 89th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The team's 2009 Subaru WRX STI was reported to have slammed into a guardrail.
For several agonizing minutes, that was the only information the crew knew. They didn't know how bad it was and whether guest driver Stephan Verdier escaped injury.
Team Director Gary Harding remembers: "Word came over the radio, 'CRASH #300.' My heart sank. It took about 20 minutes to find out that Steph was OK. After the event, we were amazed that he drove the car down off the mountain."
Immediate Aftermath
It turned out that Verdier was, for the most part, unscathed during his blistering charge up America's Mountain. After the race team regrouped, Verdier commented, "It is up to the mountain whether or not you make it to the top. Today, it said, 'No.'"
Gary Harding made sure what remained of the WRX STI was secured on the trailer for the long drive back to Las Vegas. "Overall, this was a great event. Of course, we were disappointed that we didn't finish, but we all returned home safely. The public exposure that Zenkai Motorsports achieved from this event has been great. More doors have opened up for us, and we can't thank our sponsors enough."
Can it be Rebuilt?
For six long months, management at Subaru of Las Vegas debated the fate of the Zenkai Motorsports' WRX STI and whether the race program would continue – with each race team member rallying for its survival and recommissioning. They held earnest discussions to hammer out what direction the resurrection should go – whether to fix the damaged rear end or find a new rolling chassis and transplant the heart of the original car.
When asked if there was ever a doubt whether the Zenkai Motorsports Subaru would be rebuilt, Gary Harding said, "After Pikes Peak, it was a possibility that it would not return. I believe the exposure of what we do at Zenkai Motorsports and Subaru of Las Vegas has really helped our business, though. We have a lot of followers and clients marketing the Subaru brand and the Zenkai Motorsports operations, which has been worth it all!"

Hello & Welcome to another installment of my Street Sign Soap Opera:
The Streets of Our Lives
(Find out more about Street Sign Soap Operas or start reading from the first installment.)
Part Two
When we last left our characters -
Devereaux was impersonating a Gene Love plumber, hoping to gain access to his ancient & wealthy Grandfather Haynesworth's office so that he can find and change the will. To give himself and the selfish(ly slutty) Cassina all the inheritance of the great Kilbourne estate, while leaving the rest of the family to fend for themselves.
Blossom, Wilmot, and Duncan were headed off
in a blue ribbon taxi…but why? Where were they headed?
Time to find out…
As Devereaux approached the Kilbourne mansion,
he came across his grandfather's naive assistant, Holly Hope, who was out for her morning run.
Confident that she was too stupid to see through his ruse,
he approached her, "Good mornin' miss, I'm here to see about that plumbing
emergency in grandfathe- Er- old Mr. Kilbourne's office."
"Plumbing emergency!?" squealed Holly,
"Goodness gracious, I had no idea! We should hurry then!
Let me show you where the office is! Oh no! I hope
Mr. Kilbourne's documents don't get too wet,
you'll probably have to pull all of them out, I'm so sorry!"
As they walked up the front step, the massive double doors opened.
"Good Morning Miss Hope," drawled MacGregor, the bulter, as Holly crossed the threshold.
"And Good Morning Master Devereaux."
And before our fake plumber had stepped one foot inside the mansion,
he spun back around, ran to the borrowed Gene Love Plumbing van,
and was burning rubber down the three-mile long driveway.
(And of course poor Holly is still looking for all that water from "the plumbing emergency"…)
Blossom, Wilmot, and Duncan were last seen leaving the mansion in a Blue Ribbon taxicab
- Wilmot's favorite!
Wilmot only rode in pastel-colored cars. Preferably ones with writing on the side.
Uptight old grandfather Haynesworth was never willing to cater to Wilmot's many eccentricities and therefore the family had never purchased a car that Wilmot would ride in.
(So the taxi company made a killing off the Kilbournes….)
The three cousins took the blue taxi to Kilbourne Hill,
the private family cemetary, where they were visiting their deceased parents' graves.
After only a few minutes,
Wilmot had climbed the tallest obelisk and was yelling "GILBERT!!!" as loudly as he could.
(As a joke once, Devereaux had let Wilmot watch What's Eating Gilbert Grape,
and to no surprise, Wilmot picked up on – & now imitated – several of Arnie's idiosyncrasies.)
While Blossom and Duncan were struggling to coax Wilmot down from the obelisk,
they noticed a strange woman in the far corner of the cemetary,
in the shade where it was too dark to see her clearly.
She was watching them.
She beckoned to them and disappeared into the foliage.
Blossom and Duncan both looked at each other with astonishment,
Who was that strange woman in the woods?
Will Deveraux's next plan be as much a failure as his last one?
And will Wilmot ever get down off that obelisk!??
In the next installment of
The Streets of Our Lives

He even gets into how Alison's mother's voice annoys him.
Nary a bad word to say about Beth's family, though. They're all perfect, he says, and they all look stunning.
It's more evidence of how his first marriage was a real marriage, because it was solid enough that he didn't have to bullshit the entire time. It could survive some jokes or harshness. The relationship with the Princess is a total sham, and they both know it.
Notice how Alison had to throw herself her own birthday party, because Howard was too emotionally uninvolved to do it?
Now he's busy making embarrassing video tapes of his brother in law and his wife doing cartwheels. He couldn't be anymore involved.
It's shocking how much a guy could just totally throw away his first family like that, and be sooo far up his second wife's ass. Embarrassing.

Muscle Building Pills – The Facts
Well, for some people they claim that these muscle building pills helped them in terms of achieving the body that they have right now. Despite the adverse effects that they possibly might have, those people braved the odds and clearly took the risks in order for them to have well-defined bodies.
The Truth about Muscle Enhancing Pills
Many men out there think that taking in pills is the easiest way for them to gain muscles with no effort at all. To be fair, some of these muscle building pills are actually effective in helping out individuals who would want to get muscles. However, the problem really is on the negative effects they have to the body.
As a matter of fact, there have been pieces of evidences linking dangerous ingredients that are found in these pills that are already banned by the government of most countries. Some of the negative effects that they bring to the body include terrible diseases that can lead to organ damage.
Moreover, you might even encounter some drugs claiming to be muscle building pills but in general they are fake. These are usually sold in marketplaces and flee markets and can lure a lot of customers because they are being offered at cheap prices.
So what do you say is the best alternative to this? Of course, nothing beats exercise, right diet, and healthy food.
Importance of Muscle Building with a Plan
If you do not want to be one of these individuals who take muscle building pills as a short-cut way to get muscle mass, then start on with your own workout plan now. The good thing about this is that you are assured that you are going to get the same results without worrying too much about the negative side effects.
Start on with a plan development. As they say, every effective goal is backed up by an equally efficient plan. Determine your health goal and start from there. If you want to get leaner and trimmer body, have yourself enrolled with some cardiovascular exercises and a bit of weight lifting to define your overall physical appearance. On the other hand, if your goal is to really lose weight and pack on the muscles, then an intensive cardiovascular and weight lifting program is for you.
Regarding proper nutrition, it is best to have the guidance of a professional nutritionist to guide you out. Your personal dietician will help you get the best of what you can have by deciding on the healthy foods that will do you good. A quality weight gain diet works a long way.
Having a body that will be the envy of many is created through hard work and determination. So say goodbye to any thoughts of muscle building pills, and instead stick on a workout plan.
If you are looking for the best method to lose your stubborn abdominal fats, you need to check out this ONE secret to burn fat. I have personally tried many other fat loss programs, but nothing even comes close to the effectiveness of this method.
I struggled for years to burn fat, until I found this 1 secret.

Mixed reviews on food?
I just recently got a 6 week old GSD. I have been reading a lot about the food and what to feed him and I have come across a ton of mixed information. What should I be looking for as far as ingredients? I know low calcium is better 0.7-1.2, I know no filler (corn, wheat, by-products) But what else am I looking for? or whats acceptable as far as phosphates and such? And should he be on LB puppy food or can I get a LB adult/all life cycle food? I'm sorry for posting this when there is so much information on here but im so worried about joint issues, hip-dysplasia I'm a nervous wreck lol. Could someone provide me a list of what ingredients I should focus on and what the acceptable levels should be so I can be better prepared in making a decision on his dry food. Thanks in advance for any help. Oh and I saw a guy mix wet food in with dry food is this something that is good or helpful again thank you and I will continue to research

That's a loaded question that will start a war here. For hip concerns I've been told the most important thing after quality food is to keep the weight down. I have a 9 month GSD and started my boy on Royal Canin GSD. I swore by it until I compared it to other brands. I was feeding him almost 6 cups a day and that seemed like a lot. I switched to Orijen large breed puppy and am very happy. 3.5 cups a day keeps his weight/size where i want it and the serving size seems more appropriate for a 90lb dog. That is pretty heavy for a GSD especially at his age but dad is a lean 105 lbs. I only mention his size to put the daily portion in perspective. Here's a link that I used to help make my decision. After you read a few reviews it becomes pretty clear what's important.

On mixing dry and wet. I used to do it (on raw now) but then I read somewhere (I won't be able to find it though) that there are some bacteria on dry food and moistening it with water or wet food just encourages its growth so they advise against it.
I'm sure I misstated the reason, google it. But they did say it was a bad idea though most people are doing it. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |

I was right there with you, too many opinions to choose from! Did your breeder recommend anything? Mine suggested Fromms LBP and I've been happy with it - I bought into the LBP idea personally. You can find a lot of helpful information on DogFoodAdvisor.com, as far as the benefits/pitfalls of all kind of ingredients, and they have a rating system that makes sense to me. Most important though is to find a food your dog will eat (and I do mix in canned food, eggs, sweet potato puree, yogurt, or something to make it more interesting since my dog's not a great eater unless it's raw frozen tripe!), and that she does well on. You can tell she's doing well by steady, normal weight gain, coat condition, and poop - solid and not excessive amounts. Some of the highest rated foods like Acana and Origen were just to rich and caused Jedda to have loose stools, so I had to go with a "lesser" brand. Good luck!

I've been using LB puppy and will probably mix 50/50 with adult LB when my pup reaches 6 months of age. I mix a LOT of water with mine. As long as you're not leaving the food out to sit around, it's not going to grow bacteria in the 1-2 minutes it takes a dog to eat. If your dog doesn't finish its meal, then I would take it up in 15-20 minutes. Mine is a hoover -- very food motivated so I have nothing to worry about! A lot of people use a bit of canned as a topper for their dry dog as well to make it more palatable. My dog doesn't care as he loves to eat.

Thanks for the help
Thank you everyone for your responses and helping me out. I decided to try "Ultra" Adult he seems to really like it and it seems to have some good reviews? Any advice about this one? He has been eating "beneful" for about a week and kinda picks at it from time to time so I'm slowly mixing the two to slowly get him off it.

Rock of Arts, who scored an impressive debut on Tuesday afternoon, is a brother in blood to Klawervlei's exciting young stallion, Seventh Rock.
The pair are both by world leading sire Rock of Gibraltar, and both are descendants of Australasian Oaks winner, Miss Clipper.
Seventh Rock himself was a superb racehorse, who won six times between 1000 and 1200m, scoring his biggest win in the G1 Gold Medallion as a 2yo. Many of the world's top sires were G1 winners at two, and this list includes recent sire sensations such as Dubawi, El Prado, Redoute's Choice, Giant's Causeway, Oasis Dream and Rock of Gibraltar himself, to name but a few.
There has been plenty of positive feedback regarding the first foals of Seventh Rock, who is himself an imposing and handsome stallion.
Seventh Rock is one of eight G1 winners sired by Rock Of Gibraltar, arguably Danehill's best racehorse. "The Rock" has been hot in South Africa this season, with both Europa Point and Atyeb ensuring that Rock Of Gibraltar is well up on the South African sires lists.

Oh Next Food Network Star, just when I think you can't get any worse... warning don't read on if you're not interested in spoilers.
What should have been an amazing episode - Iron Chef battle! - turned out to be dull and boring. The contestants have to battle against each other in "kitchen stadium junior" and are assisted by former contestants. Paul "The Party Budget" and his sous chef Mike, go up against Rory "The Backyard Bistro" and her sous chef Adrien in a striped bass battle. Jag "Latino Fusion" and his sous chef Colombe (who was made to look as slow and incompetent as possible) go up against Amy and her sous chef Tommy in a whole chicken battle. Now is it just me, or does striped bass seem a bit more difficult than whole chicken?
The challenges are done back to back, and when they're not cooking, the contestants have to provide commentary to the camera. Amy does a great job and even researches Panko crumbs, Jag is okay, while Rory and Paul are just terrible. Paul declares that plum tomatoes are from "plummy" and Rory thinks she's being cute by attacking Alton Brown. Speaking of AB, he should seriously start reading through his contracts better. He does not seem like he wants to be there and it feels as though he is "contractually obligated" to show up - maybe that's not the case, but it sure comes across that way. Not that I'm complaining, he was - for the second week in a row - actually the most entertaining part of the show.

The grand landscape is, well, grand and all, and I like shooting it when I can. However, the light this week has not been friendly for grand landscapes – it's either been shadow or blazing sun with nothing in between. Cameras don't like those extremes, and really neither do I. So…sometimes you just have to concentrate on the details.

Saturday's. I love Saturdays; and I'm sure many of you are with me. Barring a hangover (I'm 26 so it happens) I like to use Saturdays to test out recipes that simply didn't get done during the week. Last weekend, I was nursing a killer wine induced headache; but hunger prevailed. I wanted to attempt kale rolls so badly, that I filled my body with some sassy water to rehydrate my parched cells; and got down to the business of food- sometimes I just have to (wo)man up.
As a child I remember cringing at the thought of cabbage rolls; but you know what, have I no idea why. Kids are weird- I was especially weird; cut to today, where if it's rolled I'm all over it- salad rolls, cabbage rolls, roulade; and now, Kale rolls.
As far as leafy green anything goes, Kale is king. This monarch can be made into chips, sautéed and served over rice and rolled with quinoa, cabbage and cheese; I don't know about you, but I consider this to be versatility unparalleled.
Initially I made these kale rolls with the intent to share; but my aforementioned hearty appetite prevailed and I downed the lot on my own- generally when hunger calls, I pick up on the first ring.
These can be made ahead of time and frozen, for when you are in a dinner pinch; or, you could do like me, and eat them standing at your kitchen island, while making embarrassing eating noises- it's really your call!
Kale Rolls
Serves 4
1 cup red quinoa, cooked
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small leek, diced
¼ head of green cabbage, shredded
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp salt
1 ¼ cup canned tomatoes, diced
½ tsp honey
6 large kale leaves
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tbsp parmesan, grated
Preheat oven to 350oF
Trim the kales leaves and remove toughest parts of the stem; and steam for 4 minutes.
In a sauté pan heat the oil over medium heat; add the garlic, leeks and cabbage. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes; and add the cooked quinoa. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
In the same sauté pan, add the tomatoes and honey; heat until bubbling.
Lay out the kale leaves and fill them with about 1 to 1 ½ tbsp of the quinoa filling. Roll them and pack them tightly in an oven safe dish; spoon the tomato sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Bake in the oven for 7 minutes; and broil for an additional 3 minutes to achieve a golden brown crust.

I am so sick and effing tired of people telling fat girls that our "confidence" is sexy. You wanna know what's fucking sexy? MY ASS! Wanna know what else is sexy? MY THIGHS! How about this, MY FUCKING BELLY! It's sexy that I can take your fist in 30 seconds. It's sexy that you can hold handfuls of me at a time. It's sexy that my skin raises up in welts that suit my roundness when you smack me.
People's heads whip when I walk down the street, and it's not my confidence that they're thinking about fucking. It's my body.
Don't tell me that I'm hot because I'm comfortable in my skin. Don't tell me that I'm hot because I have a pretty face. Don't tell me that I'm hot because I've done so much work to love myself. It's a cop-out.
Confidence is sexy.
But so is a nice rack.

Europa League Betting
Wigan need to win and hope that Zulte-Waregem lose book their place in the knockout stages on what could prove a dramatic final round of Europa League group fixtures. The Sky Bet Championship side travel to Group D's basement side NK Maribor while needing a favour from leaders Rubin, who are undefeated and won their reverse fixture 4-0. Swansea's qualification hopes look more assured with just a point needed from their trip to St. Gallen, who have nothing but pride to play for. Tottenham have already secured top spot and are odds-on for a sixth straight win when Anzhi visit White Hart Lane.

Martin is among the fifty most numerous surnames in Ireland; in fact it has thirty-eight place. The thirteen thousand persons of the name in Ireland with widely distributed over the country, being found most frequently in East Ulster and, of course, in Dublin which, being the metropolis, contains families from all the provinces. Martin is also a common name in Great Britain: it has thirty-first place in England and forty-eight in Scotland. The best known families of Martin are those of Galway city and county: they were one of the celebrated "Tribes of Galway". These Martins are not Gaelic in origin. Their pedigree states that they came to Ireland with Strongbow. An interesting fact relating to the Martyns of Tullyra, Co. Galway, should be mentioned here. A special clause was inserted in the penal act 8 Anne, Chap 3, providing that the prohibition of gavelkind in Catholic families should not apply to Oliver Martin of Tulliry on account of his assistance to Protestants during the brief period of Catholic ascendancy in the seventeenth century - an example of clemency very usual in the ferocious Penal Code. Our native indigenous Martins may be either O's or Mac's. The O'Martins were of some importance in the mediaeval period: Giolla Earnain O Martain who died in 1218 is described in the various Annals as chief brehon or chief professor of law in Ireland - chief poet etc., in "Loch Ce"; and in 1431 the death of the Bishop of Clogher, who was also an O'Martin, is recorded. MacMartin was the surname assumed by a branch of the O'Neills in Co. Tyrone. Survivors of these minor septs are now plain Martin without either Prefix. Co. Tyrone is also the original homeland of another sept whose present-day representatives are sometimes called Martin: this is an important sept of MacGiolla Mahrtain, anglicized MacGilmartin in the seventeenth century and now usually Gilmartin or Kilmartin. Their forbears were chiefs in the barony of Clogher, Co. Tyrone, but, though they were still very numerous in the adjoining county of Fermanagh at the time of the 1659 census, they were gradually forced westwards to the territory in which they are now chiefly found, I.e Counties Leitrim and Sligo. Fergal MacMartin (d. 1431), Bishop of Killala, was probably of this sept. A number of distinguished men and women of the name have adorned the annals of Ireland, especially in the nineteenth century. The most notable of these were: John Martin (1812-1875) the Young Irelander and brother-in-law of John Mitchel;; Richard Martin (1754-1834) that romantic character known as "Hair Trigger Dick" and "Humanity Dick" (the originator of legislation against cruelty to animals), who could boast that his Connacht avenue was thirty miles long; his daughter Harriet Letitia Martin (1801-1891), the novelist; his grand-daughter Mary Letitia Martin (1815-1850), the "Princess of Connemara" owner of 200,000 acres, who ruined herself relieving sufferers at the time of the Great Famine. In recent times we have had Miss Martin of Ross (1862-1915), of the famous literary partnership of Somerville and Ross; and finally, not to mention various distinguished churchmen and colonial statesmen, Edward Martyn (1859-1932) another remarkable Co. Galway man, the co-founder of Sinn Fein and a pioneer of the Irish dramatic movement.

Place: Twin Bridges Park
Date: July 16th
Time: 6:00 PM
North Mountain Art League's next creative meeting is Monday, July 16th. It will be held at Twin Bridges Park, just off route #487 in the Stillwater area. Let's start the who's attending and what will you be bringing list now. Anyone can show up early and hike, fish, paint, photograph, etc. The rest of us should plan on 6 PM to begin cooking.
The park has no pavillion, but we can be in the covered bridge should the weather be a problem. There are picnic tables, but no charcoal grill. So we have some needs if anyone has one to bring for our use. It would be advisable to bring a folding chair as well, and jar candles provided at the last meeting were a great idea.
There will probably be no formal meeting this time unless anyone has an issue requiring discussion and a vote.
Please RSVP as soon as possible, hope to see you all there.

Ecommerce web development is an art everyone is trying to perfect. It has got wide range incorporating many design skills and specialist designers. To build a website that does not factor in all the necessary technical features to drive an ever increasingly savvy consumer is an utter waste of time. It must provide an intuitive and streamlined purchasing experience, its success relies on that one single phrase "Streamlined purchasing experience". That is why "build it and they will come" principle no longer applies.
The very important thing is to consult a website development Company before planning to go for an ecommerce website. They can assess from experience, the business prospects and if an ecommerce solution is the solution for the individual requirements. It does not cost a penny to have a consultation nor a written proposal, where one will be provided with a comprehensive appraisal of his online sales potential. In every case where one is dealing with a good ecommerce web design Company they will be able to help him from a business perspective as well as a technical one. Their experience in consulting and advising other customers will be the guiding light in making eventual decisions about an online sales platform.
A website needs to look professional and adhere to individual corporate branding. A well designed website instantly communicates the message and provides a call to action which plans a path forward for the client. An experienced web design agency can create a path that leads to the customers making the decision to contact the person, fill out a form, or make a purchase. In other words, a well designed website can act like a seasoned sales person that asks the right questions, informs the lead, and finally asks for their business.
With a CMS system one needs training in how to operate and edit it so one can easily update products and prices and effectively take control of his business. This is possible for the least computer literate entrepreneurs who with some intensive training can manipulate the ecommerce website CMS (Content Management System) module. There is of course a lot more involved than just design for a website to be successful, the content needs to be able to articulate the specific message to the user in a way that the user understands.
As a full-service agency, Webitecture not only builds ground-breaking websites, but also develops the strategies and go-to-market tactics to ensure that the business's investment is being recognised by customers and envied by competitors.

Thought for later: theory of the firm —> theory of the job: occupational disaggregation limited by transaction costs.
— Ryan Avent (@ryanavent) April 5, 2013
Much as I've written about the height limit, I'm not sure additional posts add value. Since the debate is relatively live now and potentially meaningful, given policy movement in Congress, I'll give it one more go. Two quick responses to recent urbanist takes.
First, Henry Grabar reckons my calculation that the limit could cost the District upwards of a billion dollars a year is overstated. Here, as a reminder, is the calculation in question:
The average commercial rent in downtown Washington is $94 per square foot. Using the 1998 [22%] shadow-tax figure, we can guess that perhaps $21 of that rental cost is attributable to regulatory restrictions, which means that the total annual regulatory cost in downtown alone is around $1.4 billion: well above even implausibly high guesstimates of the aesthetic benefits of the height limit.
I want to emphasize that this was meant to be an informative but essentially back-of-the-envelope bit of arithmetic. Still, to the extent that the figure is in error, it is most likely an understatement of the true costs of the limit.
Grabar wonders whether the shadow tax figure, which is computed as a percentage of the total value of property, ought to be applied to rents. The answer is that it depends on what you're trying to figure out. If one were interested in the precise incidence of the regulatory burden — its distribution between renters and owners — then my calculation would be problematic. But I'm merely aiming to compute the total cost of the limit. In fact, some of the "tax" wouldn't be passed through to renters, but its cost would still be there, paid by District property owners, and is still quite real.
The 22% figure is, however, from 1998. At that time, the District was still losing people and downtown was not approaching its physical construction limits. The actual tax is almost certainly quite a bit higher now, which means that my calculation is conservative.
Grabar notes that the 22% figure is an estimate of the regulatory cost of all land-use regulations, and not simply the height limit. True enough, but my calculation covered just the downtown area, in which the height limit is the binding constraint. Virtually all of the cost of the "tax" in the downtown area is associated with the height limit.
But there are plenty of other places in the District where the height limit is also binding or soon will be: the "Golden Triangle", Capitol Hill, and NoMa, not to mention an increasing share of other major commercial/residential corridors like Connecticut Avenue and U Street. I'm leaving quite a lot of affected real estate out of my calculation, suggesting that the true cost of the limit to the District as a whole is larger than my figure.
So no, my cost estimate, of $1.4 billion a year, is not at all a fair estimate of the real cost of the height limit. In fact, it's almost certainly far larger.
On to the second issue. In response to Kaid Benfield's "urbanist case" for the height limit, David Schleicher asks six pointed questions of limit defenders. Dan Malouff gives his answers, but all but ignores the most critical of Schleicher's questions: what sort of effect do urbanists think the dispersal of economic activities has on agglomeration benefits?
This is a critically important issue for urbanists to wrestle with. Cities are much more than just economic units. But without an economic basis, modern cities are destined to wither. That basis — the glue that holds cities together — is the set of benefits that emerge from close clustering among economic actors. That's why people pay so much to be in prosperous cities (and why those cities are prosperous in the first place) and it's why it is so costly to adopt rules that make it harder for people to cluster.
In the absence of an answer to that question, it may be instructive to answer questions that Malouff himself asks. Like:
What about the current extents of downtown DC make you think it is the perfect geography in which to cluster office development?
But see, this is not at all the argument that "demand-side urbanists" like Schleicher and myself are making. We're fairly agnostic about where development ought to be. If firms weren't interested in locating downtown I certainly wouldn't be trying to force them to move there.
Instead, we're observing data that suggest firms very much want to be downtown — or, more accurately, near lots of other firms — and we're concluding that it is therefore costly to keep them from locating there. I'm certainly not opposed to development in other neighborhoods of the District. Like Schleicher, I am perplexed at the seeming desire among urbanists like Malouff to push offices full of lawyers into those neighborhoods, and at the apparent insensitivity to the fact that pushing such activities into those neighborhoods will raise the cost of real estate in those places and crowd out other economic activities. The height limit is the enemy of the sort of economic diversity Jane Jacobs prized. Limiting the supply of downtown office space raises the cost of downtown office space and of all office space that represents a halfway decent substitute for a location in downtown. As costs rise, only the firms that care most about being in the area — and this is going to be government-sensitive business, because the government isn't going anywhere — will pay the soaring rents. That, in turn, chokes off every other enterprise that isn't connected to the business of K Street.
Next, Malouff asks:
Do you accept that there are reasons some people like the height limit which cannot be captured in traditional cost-benefit models?
I don't really know what to make of this. I certainly accept that some people derive some benefits from the height limit that are difficult to value. But to say that there are some attributes of the limit that simply defy all attempts at considerations of trade-offs is to make a mockery of this debate and urbanism and lots of other things as well. The dollar value of the aesthetic benefits of the viewsheds afforded by the limit are hard to figure, I'll admit. "Difficult to value" does not necessarily imply that they are of a very high value, it's worth pointing out. It also doesn't protect them from assessments of the sense of various trade-offs. I assume that if someone credibly threatened to drop a nuclear weapon on New York if Washington didn't disrupt its viewsheds Malouff would be all in favor of throwing up buildings around the Washington Monument as quickly as possible. Even if we can't know with certainty what the market value of a city-wide aesthetic is, we, as sensible people, can think about whether it makes sense to protect certain aspects of a city's design at extraordinary economic cost to its residents.
I fully accept that some Washingtonians and tourists derive aesthetic benefit from the height limit — maybe even a very large benefit. But the simple difficulty of assessing the precise monetary value of that benefit does not immunize the height limit and its aesthetic benefits from inclusion in cost-benefit analysis. There is a point at which residents will think to themselves, "How much are we willing to suffer to keep this?" And the answer, "I can't tell you exactly how much, but I know it's less than what we're dealing with" is not only valid but is most likely the right one under the present circumstances.
Finally, he asks:
Instead of repealing the height limit, would you accept modifying it to permit taller buildings only at specific and limited locations? If so, how might you go about determining those locations?
I'm not one to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I'm all for any modification to the limit that makes it easier for people to satisfy market demand. Even a small increase in the limit will have large, tangible benefits for the city.
Ultimately, however, this debate is about more than just the height limit. My hope is to convince urbanists that the economics of cities matters a great deal, and that understanding those economics is critical in ensuring that planning doesn't systematically undermine the cities urbanists want to help. That's the point I hope comes across in this discussion.
The debate over the Height Limit is back, and earlier today twitter delivered unto me a piece from Atlantic Cities making "the urbanist case" for keeping the limit. I let loose an intemperate flurry of tweets expressing my frustration with the piece. As I reflect on the brief twitter conversation that followed, I worry that my frustration is being misunderstood.
I would obviously love to be able to convince most people that my policy position on the height limit is the right one. But the pure fact of disagreement with my view is not particularly vexing. I'm used to having people disagree with me and to occasionally being shown to be wrong, in part or in whole. So while the classification of sub-categories of urbanism is interesting and useful, it's not the source of my frustration with and feelings of alienation from "urbanism".
What frustrates me is that many urbanists seem to be having an entirely different conversation. I am used to participating in, and I'd say I identify with, a community of wonky journalists — Economist colleagues, econobloggers, and wonks general — who may be motivated in their arguments by ideological bent but who, when confronted with a tricky question, instinctually head for public data or search the latest working papers. Published research isn't the beginning and end of most policy questions, of course. But it provides a framework through which disagreeing parties interested in finding the right answer can get closer to the truth.
It is therefore bewildering to be confronted by the sort of loopy logic in the Atlantic Cities piece. Better, in the piece, appears to mean little more than "closer to the author's conception of good". We learn that, "parts of the region that are already relatively dense, such as downtown Washington, are fine as they are". This seems to mean that downtown density is high enough that marginal gains in "environmental indicators" from density are no longer large (enough?), and such that taller buildings might require more energy-intensive materials to construct. Where does one begin to respond to such an argument! Why are those two variables the critical ones — so critical, in fact, that it's acceptable not only to disregard literature on the economic costs of the supply limits but to act as if it doesn't exist?
And to argue that:
Building height has little to do with affordability. The argument that a limit on building height restricts housing supply and thus leads to higher prices is essentially the same argument made against Portland's urban growth boundary. In both cases, it's hogwash: if affordability were closely related to building height and density, New York City and San Francisco would be the two most affordable big cities in America.
Is just extraordinarily fallacious. I'm not sure I could construct a paragraph that more aggressively ignores the content of Avent-Glaeser-Yglesias arguments or more egregiously misattributes causation.
Many urbanists have a view on what cities ought to look like. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. But we should be willing to subject those views to empirical scrutiny. If urbanists aren't willing to grapple with reasonable and rigorous assessments of the costs from restrictions like the height limit, and either explain in an empirically sound way why those assessments are wrong or why they're right but nonetheless worth accepting, then they aren't advocating for public policy. They're just playing SimCity. Because the point of statistical analysis, however antiseptic and divorced from the view at street level, is precisely to make sure that the people living in those cities don't get screwed thanks to hare-brained conceptions of what a city should be.
It's not the disagreement that bothers me. It's the manner of disagreement.
Trying out some new mental models. Let's see if this works:
A recession happens when an economy finds itself producing less than it used to. Now, one reason an economy might end up producing less than it used to might be that it has suddenly found itself with less of one of the critical ingredients to production. A foreign country could bomb all of its critical infrastructure. A drought could wipe out critical food crops. A hurricane could destroy a bunch of refinery capacity. Smallpox could kill every tenth worker. Or, more prosaically, a steady rise in marginal tax rates could convince lots of people to work less.
This is what we'd call a supply-side contraction, and it's pretty intuitive. You have less of something important, the price of that something important goes up, and everyone feels poorer and furthermore understands why they feel poorer (mostly). Demand-side contractions aren't intuitive. We want to talk about them in supply-side terms: one might argue as if there is a limited stock of prosperity such that an economy that irresponsibly uses too much in one period has less in later periods, or one might simply look around and attribute weakness in the economy to this or that unsatisfying feature of the economy, like undereducated workers or potholed roads or an idiot Congress. If we had more of a good thing, the economy would be doing better. That might be true, but it also misdiagnoses the initial problem. But maybe there is a way to talk about demand-side recessions like supply-side recessions.
Money is a critical ingredient to production. So what if a bunch of money was somehow destroyed?
Well, that's easy enough to answer. There would be less money to go around. If more money couldn't be found, then some of the activity that depended on money would have to stop. Unless, of course, ways could be found to do the same amount of activity with less money. The market would try to solve that problem by delivering a rise in the price of money, which means a fall in the price of everything else. To the extent that the market couldn't engineer a fast-enough fall in the price of everything else, the destruction of money would lead to less production.
But markets are forward looking, right? When the odds of a disruptive war in the Middle East rise, the price of oil rises, even if there is no current disruption in the supply of oil. People anticipate the possibility of a supply shock, and react in the present by hoarding oil. That raises prices in the present, bringing part of the impact of a future supply shock into the present.
We might experience exactly the same thing with money. If people begin to suspect that money will be worth more in the future than they'd previously believed, either because they anticipate that some will be destroyed or simply that the supply of it won't grow as quickly, then they may hoard money in the present, causing its price to rise in the present and transferring part of the impact of the supply shock into the present.
Of course, a government that has a sufficiently large reserve of the item that may be in short supply can intervene to smooth out the shock. It could reassure markets that whenever a supply shock seemed to loom and the price of the item looked set to rise above a level dangerous to the economy, that it could and would sell its reserve stocks — of oil, perhaps, from the strategic reserve — into the market, holding the price below the dangerous threshold. Credibility would depend on the size of the reserve; ideally, the government would invent a means to costlessly produce more oil.
One could imagine, though, a really bizarre situation in which people became excessively fearful. They might become so convinced that the price of the critical commodity were going to rise that when the government released more of it into the market, they all just gobbled it up and sat on it, waiting for the eventual appreciation rather than using it, allowing the economy to contract despite an abundance of the stuff the shortage of which initially caused the panic. It's hard to imagine people falling into a fit of madness like that, but it could be possible. In that case, I think, the government wouldn't just want to keep parceling out its reserves; they'd just end up being hoarded as well. It would be better to focus on changing people's minds, explaining, maybe, that they would flood the streets with the stuff until its price began falling steadily, if that's what it took. Anything to get some people to have doubts and start running down their hoards.
In a serious pinch, I suppose the government could just take its strategic reserves directly to the factories sitting idle for want of it and give it to them on the condition that they get their factories running again, to produce things for the government, maybe, or just to make piles of stuff.
The hard question, I suppose, would be to figure out just what "money" it is that dries up in a monetary supply shock. Is it the stock of paper bills and coin? Is it that plus demand deposits? Is it the stock of credit? Is it unimportant to know the precise forms in which it's drying up and enough to observe a rise in the price relative to what was expected? Or is it, maybe, just all the money that changes hands in whatever form? We keep track of that, I think.
Is this a helpful mental model? I don't know. It seems like it could be useful to be able to tell people that we're in a recession because we suffered a surprising shortage of money, but not to worry because emergency supplies are being flown in as we speak…

Date: Friday 01 Jun 2012
Now the Jubilee celebrations have started its quite an eye-opener looking at just how profoundly the UK has changed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1952, the Office for National Statistics estimated Britains Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at £15.983bn. You could barely buy a battleship with that nowadays. As of the end of 2011, GDP had grown 9332% to £1.506 trillion.
In 1952 £1 would have been worth £24.34 today (or looking at it another way, £1 today would be equivalent to 4p in 1952).
One interesting figure released by the ONS is that despite currently being mired in a recession marked by a policy of austerity, the actual number of days lost through strikes was only 1.39m in 2011; in 1952 that figure was 1.792m.
So just what were people actually doing to make a living at that time? The top five male jobs in England and Wales in 1952 were, in descending order: clerks, metalworking, engineering and electrical trades, agricultural workers, the rather nebulous unskilled workers category is fourth and in fifth, drivers of self-propelled goods vehicles.
Predictably, 60 years ago women were generally doing different sorts of jobs to the men, although again clerks were the most numerous. Shorthand typists and secretaries came next, domestic servants third (not many of those around today), non-food goods was fourth, while charwomen and cleaners came in fifth.
Back in 1952 the number of live births was 673,735, while in 2010 (the last year for which we have figures) that number was 723,165.
A rather eye-brow raising figure is the number of births outside of marriage. In 1952, when people took a rather dim view of such things, only 4.8% of babies were born out of wedlock; nowadays that figure has risen to 46.8%.
On the births front, the mean age of mothers at childbirth has risen from 28.1 years old in 1952 to 29.5 years old in 2010 (again, the last year for which we have full figures).
Marriage is proving less popular, with the total number for 1952 at 349,308 against 241,100 in 2010, but the divorce business is certainly bigger than it used to be; in 1952 there were 33,922 divorces, these days that figure is 119,589.

'Good idea,' whispered Hermione, clearly pleased that Harry was calming down. 'Ron, what are you staring at?'
'Nothing,' said Ron, hastily looking away from the bar, but Harry knew he was trying to catch the eye of the curvy and attractive barmaid, Madam Rosmerta, for whom he had long nursed a soft spot.
'I expect "nothing"'s in the back getting more Firewhisky,' said Hermione waspishly.
