BOOK: The Best Laid Plans
Marin County Supervisors have big plans to urbanize Marin along the 101 Corridor-especially in the Marinwood Priority Development Area
The Best Laid Plans: Our Planning and Affordable Housing Challenges in Marin [Paperback]
The Best Laid Plans explores the often byzantine world of planning and affordable housing development, in simple, readable terms. It exposes the fallacies and examines the history and unintended consequences of an antiquated, "top down," decision-making process, largely controlled by unaccountable government bureaucracies, that produces outsized financial gains for the few at the expense of small communities. As we move into an era when sustainable solutions are no longer optional, the lessons of this book resonate far beyond the small towns of Marin County, California.
AUDIO: Vehicle Mileage Tax for everyone!
Although MTC postponed the idea of Vehicle Mileage Tax with GPS devices, they have initiated metering lights at all freeway on ramps throughout the bay area which if coupled with fees will have exactly the same effect to increase transportation costs. If implemented, it would cripple economic growth ESPECIALLY in the small business sector which relies on direct customer contact for commerce, service and deliveries.
Not everyone commutes to large government offices every day.
It is impossible to run a modern economy with public transportation and bicycles alone.
VIDEO: Citizens propose options for a fair public hearing on Plan Bay Area
Frustrated Citizens are earnestly trying to get the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to engage in a fair process to ensure all viewpoints are heard on the Plan Bay Area initiative. As usual, this speaker was simply allowed to speak and ignored by the ABAG politicians and bureaucrats.
Novato succeeds in reducing affordable housing density
Editor's note: Citizens are making a difference in Novato. This article was from 2011 asking for 20 units per acre in Novato. This lessens the impact on the community. Marin County is proposing for Marinwood/Lucas Valley 50% MORE DENSITY at Marinwood Village at 30 units per acre.
We need you to voice your concern and join us.
Novato needs more answers
I need some answers about some of these affordable housing ground rules from the state.
I want clarification about building 30 units per acre of housing plus a bonus of 35 percent equaling 40 units to more than 100 units with few or no constraints. In addition, does the state require that 50 percent of the units be for market rate? Does that mean that 200 or more units will be developed on sites around Novato?
The state, high-density groups, plus supervisors, builders, and developers favor few or no constraints for traffic, design, or concern for impacts on schools, safety and infrastructure in Novato. "Build, Baby, Build" is their motto as long as there are federal and state tax dollars for their political and economical agendas.
Forget about the social impacts on the quality of life in Novato when the threshold of high density is paid by the next generations.
Forget about drought, earthquakes, water quality, community gardens, trees, deer, flowers, wildlife, wetlands, watersheds, shade, valleys, forests, red roses and blue skies, too
Forget about knowing your neighbors, your community and religious institutions.
Forget about the social, economical and environmental costs to the rural and suburban residents.
One solution for the future is plan for 20 units per acre or less on some locations.
The city staff is apparently afraid or reluctant to do this without the Novato City Council saying the buck stops here (I am from Missouri, home state of Harry S. "Buck Stops Here" Truman, where conservation was ingrained into our souls in school). A solution of 20 units or less needs a feasibility study to show the state that the sites are buildable. Building 30-40-100 units per acre plus adding 50 percent market-rate units to the low-income units do not require any feasibility studies from cities and costs less for the city planners. For whom do they work?
In addition, the county now wants the Atherton mobile Home park on the east side of 101 for multiple low-income housing. 300 or more units on that site plus additional 50 percent market rate units will wreak havoc on Novato's vision of a small-town atmosphere.
Furthermore, the county has added back to their quota list the St. Vincent's parcels near Marinwood, which would add another 1,200 units plus the 50 percent market rate units, plus cars in the future for the county's quotas.
Examples of high density in our rural, suburban county are the Millworks/Whole Foods complex on De Long Avenue in downtown Novato and the large buildings in downtown San Rafael.
Moreover, massive high-density buildings and millions of dollars for a passenger train system deny respect for humans and our need for open spaces, fresh air, clean water, parks, uncrowded schools, safety and cultivated land. Will robots and politicians replace conservation?
Novato must be the poster child for common sense and 20 units or less per acre. Feasibility studies will show we can do this and have a community that thrives now and in the future.
No more passing the buck.

Nicely done Eleanor! Thank you
Bob Ratto
The whole things does make one's head spin...There are 10-12 people in the County that are the main "pushers" of this, and it does boggle the mind how far this all gets taken...using the income models proposed, most of Novato could qualify for this, and maybe that very same majority could come to their senses and decide what is appropriate for our community. Wishful?, maybe. The proposed sites just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Well said, Eleanor! What bugs many of the taxpayers in Novato is how the entire concept is being shoved down our throats ("you have to build the number of units we tell you to build, but you can choose where to build"). What also grates is the number of people who are advocating this high density housing who don't even live in Novato or Marin County. They should have no say about where to build this high density housing and how many units "we the people" of Novato allow to be built. I'd like these people to be excluded from City Council meetings entirely. Let them do their politicking in their own communities. There's so much going on here that is not being made public. There are huge profits and tax incentives for the developers who build these projects and the number of units initially approved can be increased by the developers, all to the detriment of the neighborhoods where they're built and to the detriment of the Novato taxpayers and residents whose neighborhoods will change forever after the high density housing is built. Most people who live in Marin County moved here to escape overcrowded cities and to enjoy a bucolic, country-like lifestyle with a low crime rate and being surrounded by open space. The taxpayers, residents and homeowners of Novato have nothing to gain by these high density projects and much to lose. Why is no one defending our right to say "no" to these projects?

Definitions of Metropolitan and suburban come from the US Census Bureau.
This needs to be changed at the federal level.
(Who's running to replace Woolsey?)
Please see parts of: California Government Code Section 65583.2
(d) For purposes of this section, metropolitan counties, nonmetropolitan counties, and nonmetropolitan counties with micropolitan areas are as determined by the United States Census Bureau. Nonmetropolitan counties with micropolitan areas include the following counties: Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Nevada,
Tehama, and Tuolumne and such other counties as may be determined by the United States Census Bureau to be nonmetropolitan counties with micropolitan areas in the future.
(e) A jurisdiction is considered suburban if the jurisdiction does not meet the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) and is located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) of less than 2,000,000 in population, unless that jurisdiction's population is greater than 100,000, in which case it is considered metropolitan. Counties, not including the City and County of San Francisco, will be considered suburban unless they are in a MSA of 2,000,000 or greater in population in which case they are considered metropolitan.
Please see parts of: California Government Code Section 65583.2 and nearby
(f) A jurisdiction is considered metropolitan if the jurisdiction does not meet the requirements for "suburban area" above and is located in a MSA of 2,000,000 or greater in population, unless that jurisdiction's population is less than 25,000 in which case it is considered suburban.

Thanks Eleanor. It's disgusting what these "housing advocates" and working groups are trying to ram down our throats and destroy Novato. The only people who stand to gain are the developers. It's all about money and not helping anybody truly in need.

I was looking at the same section – I think the problem with Marin is it's part of San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area), which includes San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties The combined population is over 2,000,000 in 2014. Since Novato has over 50,000 populations, its designation is 'Metropolitan', same as San Rafael.
Petaluma is part of the Santa Rosa-Petaluma MSA, which includes Sonoma County with just over 480K population. Even though Petaluma's population is similar to Novato, due to different MSA it belongs to, it's designation is Suburban.
If what I interpreted is correct, Petaluma's suburban designation allows them to have 20 units per acre, while Novato's Metropolitan designation forced it to have 30 units per acre in the context of what we are talking about here.
Unfortunately, the removal of Jared Huffman's AB1103 eliminated the part to "allow a local government to petition the regional governing body for a density designation that more appropriately reflects the area." which affects Novato and San Rafael. The part about conversion of 2nd units help Southern Marin towns more than Novato (only 13 units projected for the next four years in Novato).
7:29 am on Monday, July 4, 2011
Didn't Katie Crecelius "work" with Huffman recently in Sacramento on AB1103? SUNN founders say they are in favor of the bill? They are in the pocket of the investors/developers......Marin Community Foundation- the bill works in their favor not Novato's.
Hi Brenda - Politics is not my forte. I can only tell you what I learned as I research this. The original AB1103 did include the language but was stripped of that first item at the request of the Assembly HCD committee chair towards the end.
Austin Morris
Let us revert back to the basics of the matter and build the case from there. We first need to start with a level playing field. If 'we Novato' are being mandated, then so too all other communities in Marin bar none must take their share. We must not think of this as the community with open or buildable space; but assignment of x-number of Affordable Housing Units and obtain equity from that standpoint.
Novato must stand tough, hold the line and stop any further discussions until the County & 100% of the cities that comprise Marin County are onboard. Then and only then do we walk into the water holding hands. Sausalito, Mill Valley, Tiburon, Ross, et.al. to the north may claim they don't have buildable space/acreage, that is not our problem find it, condemn it by 'Imminent Domain' if need be; but get those properties on the books and then Novato will take this matter into consideration.
They won't, and thereby we should not be dictated to. Can you see some nice AH units being constructed on Belvedere Lagoon, I don't think so, and that is what democracy is all about. We can not have voices in Belvedere, who won't do their share, casting ballots to dictate to us within even the same County of Marin. Stop it here, and then widen the ring to the County, to ABAG (were they to be recognized) then to the State, when we have Representatives who know our voices.

Thank you Eleanor for your Op-ed piece and to everyone else who has been participating in this forum to educate our community. Thank you everyone for your cheers of support during the Parade today! Let's stay active this summer in any way possible and be ready to organize petitions or any other necessary action. Way back when I attended an ABAG meeting in San Rafael one of the Reps said something about every jurisdiction should just turn in a housing element and show good intent. I agree Lloyd, Novato has probably done more than any other Marin jurisdiction in putting together a community involved Housing Element. That's why I asked Tina if all the cities in CA that have been sued have actually submitted a City approved Housing Element. We have to convince the City Council to accept the lower densities and Working Group Sites and deal with the fall out afterwards. Novato has demonstrated good intent over and beyond.
10:45 pm on Monday, July 4, 2011
An idea occurs: The "metropolitan" designation does somewhat rely on population. Let's split Novato into two cities, that would drop us below the threshold. I know it's crazy but, as always, trying to think outside the box here to get fresh perspective.
1:04 pm on Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Edwin, Lloyd had also mentioned this same idea some time ago. If we ultimately can't change our designation then I think this needs to be looked at. Keep thinking outside the box!

Please, please, browse Palo Alto Patch for the article about housing requirements. The Palo Alto city council and staff have taken a stand against Sacramento leftists and told them "this is our town, we are going to plan for our future". Why not Novato? Because the Novato City Council uses sanctuary social engineering as a tool against their own constituents. Vote the bums out. Screw leftist "affordable housing" social engineering mandates.

Movie Recommendation: Les Miserables
Les Miserables, The people's barricade against injustice.
We recommend Les Miserables now showing at Smith Ranch Road Theaters. It surely will receive Oscar nominations for set design and performances. It also provides good reminders about how social change is brought about through determination, moral courage and the willingness to stand up against injustice.

Video: Public Unhappy and Ignored with Plan Bay Area
If you haven't been to a public meeting recently, you are in for a surprise. The Association of Bay Area Governments pay lip service to the public but routinely ignore average homeowner's concerns in favor for big development and activist organizations. We homeowners will be paying for the folly of the One Bay Area plan for decades.
Most homeowners affected have no idea the extent of the huge changes coming as a result of Plan Bay Area. Only a handful of people have been following and have been able to attend the weekday meetings. The above is a comment from a frustrated homeowner that is simply trying to get earnest dialogue about the plans.
Pleasanton Changes High-Density Housing Plans After Residents Protest
It is possible for citizens to fight high density housing proposals for more appropriate development.
Ideas for what to build on vacant piece of land, dubbed "Area 15," now range from houses to a school or a park
By Mark Abramson
Ideas of what to do with a vacant plot of land are swirling after residents rallied to defeat a plan to build high-density housing on the site.
The piece of land, known as Area 15 by Pleasanton's Housing Element Update Task Force, is in the Valley Trails development, between Hopyard Road and Interstate 680 and along Valley Trails Drive.
Residents packed City Hall during a recent meeting to protest plans for high-density housing, prompting the city to change course. Now ideas include everything from single-family houses to schools to parks.
The site is one of several empty pieces of property the city is looking at for future housing after it lost a lawsuit last year to Urban Habitat, an Oakland-based social justice advocacy organization, which challenged the city's growth cap. The final plan must be approved by the state.
"There will always be speculation (about what is built) as long as that area isn't developed," said Pleasanton Planning Manager Janice Stern.
Residents submitted their ideas and thoughts on the property to the task force and city by mail, comment cards at meetings, by addressing the city council and by e-mail. The land is owned by the Evangelical Free Church on Valley Trails.
The ideas have run the gamut — from adding housing that fits in with the one-story residences, or again, adding parks or a school. Concerns about adding housing or a school ranged from the impacts on housing values, traffic, noise, pollution and other negative effects.
"I don't think it is a good place for high density," said Vice Mayor Cheryl Cook-Kallio, who is one of two council members on the task force.
"I think lower-density senior housing could go there. I think you could put single-family homes, but it should match the neighborhood."
Valley Trails resident Carl Pretzel favors the idea of putting a school, church or other public or institution on the site. The city's general plan calls for such a use, but it is currently zoned for single-family residential housing.
"A small school would probably be acceptable. The hope is they will rezone the land public-institutional," Pretzel said.
But a church or other religious institution would be an ideal use, Pretzel said.
Single-family homes would number 20 to 30 homes and wouldn't impact traffic horribly, long-time Valley Trails resident Bob Gallagher said.
"If anything, they will be nice new homes," he said. "It blends in with the neighborhood.
"Schools and daycare people are picking up and dropping off kids at the same time the commuters are trying leave," Gallagher added.
Valley Trails resident David Pastor said the uncertainty about the site, along with failed past attempts to develop, is cause for concern.
"This is the fourth time the hornets (nest) has been disturbed," Pastor said. "We would love to see it made a park, but we know that isn't going to happen.
"What would probably fit in there would be maybe senior housing, but we are not talking multiple-story senior housing and 30 units per acre," he said.
"Maybe duplexes, smaller buildings with open spaces and parking instead of senior housing that would require an elevator."
The City Council will ultimately decide how to rezone the site after hearing the task force and planning commission's recommendations this summer, but after months of examination, Cook-Kallio said the choice is pretty clear.
"From my perspective, it will not be on the list for high-density," she said. "If there were to be any building there, it would have to be consistent with the single-family homes."

Lightweight Yet Powerful
---SETUP--- The Sennheiser HD1 in-ear headphones are easy to set up. Upon turning it on, my cell phone found the headphones immediately under the name HD1 IE Free. Paring took under a minute. ---FEATURES--- These earbuds come with several unique features. One of my favorite ones is the magnetized back of the tips. When you aren't using the headphones, you can have them hang from your neck, as with most. However, the magnetized back of the tips allow for them to be more secured around your neck and won't fall off as easily if you are making brisk movements. One complaint I do have is with a feature that it lacks. Sometimes, when you miss something on a podcast or want to hear a specific section of a song, with most headsets, you can rewind or fast-forward by holding the Skip Track button. It isn't the case with these Sennheiser. The control options are the volume up/down buttons and a middle button between those two for turning on/off the headset and for pairing/answering/hanging up the phone. The volume up and down work by click it over and over until desired volume is found. When holding the volume buttons, what happens is, it will either skip to the beginning of the track (lower volume button) or skip to the next track (raise volume button). Fast-forwarding or rewinding tracks is an important feature that I feel cost this headset one star to be removed. If you haven't used those features in your audio experiences in a while, then it shouldn't be part of your purchasing decision. ---PERFORMANCE--- This pair of headphones perform well enough to be your main pair. I have multiple bluetooth headsets that go around the neck. I would put these up against some of my pricier ones any day. In fact, recently, I was listening to a podcast and with these on, I could hear the vibrations of the microphone when the host would hit the arm. I hadn't noticed that before. Regarding phone calls, there are no complaints in that department. ---EXPECTATIONS--- Going in, I didn't expect these to feel any different than my other headsets and earbuds. However, the design feels great, they are lightweight, and the sound is incredible. The only thing that I was expecting was for it to have a longer battery life. At six hours, its on the lower end of the spectrum for battery life between charges. However, since it's USB chargeable, most users will be within charging distance all the time. ---VALUE--- The price in terms of value is comparable to other headsets of similar quality. If you're in the market for a good pair of great sounding headphones, these are ones to keep on the list of possible purchase. ---APPROVAL--- These headsets are TRO approved. I highly recommend this pair for people who are constantly moving, such as athletes or delivery people. Overall, the headset won't disappoint.

Excellent and comfortable Earbuds
I'll just preface, I love Sennheiser products. Probably a bit biased with them too lol. I wasn't sure what to expect with these earbuds. I've owned many and tested/listened to many. As usual with a Sennheiser product, they were quite incredible. At first when I went to listen to some music with them they seemed to be lacking in depth. Turns out, I didn't have them in quite right. Typical ID10T error lol. Once I re-inserted them though, WOW, The soundstage was completely different. There is ton's of bass/LFE in these. This might put a lot of people off. They are reminiscent of the first gen PX-100's. Great overall sound, but deep punchy bass. I do enjoy a good bit of bass in my music. These will work great for any type of genre of music. They are quite comfortable and they do come with several different sizes of earbud's. They do also stay in once you put them in. I haven't done anything rigorous with them, but I'm pretty confident that they will stay put when performing any exercising or other mobility type actions. Also on the ends of the outside of the earbuds where the Sennheiser logo is locate you can connect them as in my picture below as they have a tiny magnet in each. They're not overly powerful and will disconnect from each other with minimal effort, but it's a nice feature to keep the connected. For battery life, I can't speak to how long they do last as I haven't spent a lot of time with them in. They are rated for up to 6 hours on a single charge. My only issue with that, is the Li-Ion battery in them is rated for 500 charges and that's not really a whole lot, especially if you're using them frequently. Aside from the excellent audio, they do have their app CapTune. It's an alright app, and it does have an EQ that can be controlled. The biggest con with this app is that it will only work with local audio stored on the device. In other words, the EQ will not work with things such as Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora etc... It does integrate with Tidal however. It does help, but the app is cumbersome and not very intuitive. Because of this, the amount of Bass may put people off especially since it cannot be controlled. To utilize it though with Tidal you have to open it through the CapTune app, not directly through Tidal. I did reach out to Sennheiser and at this point, Tidal is the only supported streaming app that can utilize the EQ. There was no intention from the email I received that Spotify will be added. All in all, these are great earbuds, I just wish the app was designed around multiple streaming options, not just Tidal or locally stored music. If you're looking for a really nice sounding pair of earbuds and don't mind spending a bit of money and don't really care about an EQ and enjoy a bit of heavy bass, I'd say look no further than these.

Great Comfort: Flawless sound
I love these light in-ear neckband Bluetooth phones that seem to support every connection protocol. They come in a beautiful round, zippered leather case with a USB cable for charging he Lithium-ion battery and several sizes of ear adapters so that you can get the best fit for your ear canal. The phones have Bluetooth 4.2 and Qualcomm® apt-X™, and supported profiles include A2DP 1.2, AVRCP 1.4, HSP 1.2, and HFP 1.6 - HD Voice, or higher. You can connect to two devices simultaneously, according to the specs, but I have not tested that feature. The specs say that you can get a full charge in 1.5 hours and that the battery is good for 500 charges. I plugged in the convenient charging cable and the indicator LED went from flashing yellow to solid blue in less than 1.5 hours, and the I have listened to the phones now for a cumulative total of about 3 hours. My Pixel 2 indicates an 80 per cent charge remaining. The specs list a 6-hour battery life, and I have no reason to doubt that claim. The phones are comfortable and completely non-fatiguing to wear. I wouldn't think you would buy these to wear as sport phones, so I really can't say how they would hold up under hard play or sports. They certainly stayed in my ears while walking around the house and carrying out day to day activities. The sound is quite detailed, and the low bass is there. I had to fiddle with the adapter and wiggle it a little in my ear canal to get the tightest fit to extend the response into the lowest octave. I probably would have been better served to change the adapter to correct that problem, but I was enjoying the sound too much! There was not a bit of mid- bass mud, and no stridency in the mid to higher frequencies. I listened to Joni Mitchell's Hissing of Summer Lawns and heard detail and nuance in the music I don't remember from the hundreds of times I have listened to that album -- and I started with much younger ears back in 1976! I also tested the built-in microphone performance with my Pixel 2 to make and receive calls. I heard the caller, and I was heard clearly by the person calling. Frankly, I doubt I'll be using these Sennheisers much to answer my phone. I don't want to have my music interrupted. The sound of these phones compares very favorably with several others that I use, including an over the ear model that is much more expensive. I am going to be using these a lot from now on. Comfortable. Easy to pair and charge. Excellent sound. You put them on and forget about them. They are a vehicle to get to the music, and they deliver on that promise every time.
I was impressed by the sound and build quality of these earbuds. Speaking of sound it delivers really high qulaity, crsipy and clear sound, functionality its handy and smart. The control button has several options to controll music and receive phone calls, the middle one 1 press to play and pause, 3 presses to activate voice assistant "Google and Siri" volume + single press to increase volume and double to next track and same function for volume -. Very light weight that makes you feel wearing nothing and both earbuds ends are magnetic to protect them from falling off your neck. Sennheiser equipped these earbuds with nice leather case.I really loved it and honestly comparing it with other brands at same range this one among them or higher in terms of qulaity and price.

Pros: - Nice carry case for headphones and accessories - Rubberized strap is comfortable and unobtrusive - Multiple sized ear buds - Solid base - Magnetic connector for ear buds - Easy to pair with devices - Easy to learn and use inline controls - Wireless has good range - Long battery life - Good connectivity with notifications, phone calls, and music apps. Cons: - Audio quality is not on par with Apples ear bud's that came with my phone - Uncomfortable in ear canal after an hour of use - No noise canceling/voice focusing for microphone - All surrounding office chatter picked up and transmitted by microphone - Magnetic connection between headphones is very weak - Headset does pick up and transmit the scuffing of the headset as it brushes against my collar - The speakers suffer from midrange sound breakup I was excited about getting the Sennheiser HD1 Free Wireless headset. For years, I've been using the headset/microphone earbuds that Apple included with my iPhone. These are the first wireless earbuds that I have owned. The headphones have attractive styling. I really like the rubberized cord that connects all the components together. The earbuds look great. I love the glossy black and grey two-toned bodies. And the wireless range is spot on with the side of the box. I was able to walk around my house freely during phone calls and music listening without worrying about where I placed my phone or laptop. I was able to pair the ear buds with multiple devices. Reconnecting those the earbuds to the phone was super easy. There is a three-button control on the right ear bud cord. The buttons are not large but big enough that they are easy to identify without looking. The strap is designed to hang from your neck. And the ear buds are designed to magnetically attach to each other's back. I found the magnets very weak but not so weak that the ears buds came apart. However, I do feel that any level of jostling will cause them to come apart and increase the risk of them falling off from around my neck. Sound quality is really where these ear buds fail, in my opinion. The voice and music feel constrained. Almost like the sound is trying to penetrate my ear drum through a very small hole. Base, when there is a strong enough beat, is clear. Highs also seem to be clear. The mid-range, however, seems to break up on the speaker. I noticed this while holding a conversation with my wife. She has a strong high-midrange voice. Some of her words seemed to simply break up. At first, I thought it was static. Then, I noticed that the speakers kept breaking up with the same words and with certain inflections that she was using while speaking with me. I found the same issues with Music. I played a range of music from Classical to modern Pop. Again, the lows, when they were present, seemed strong and highs were clear. The midrange was sloppy. Tylor's Swifts, Blank Space, had all kinds of issues with the midrange. The beat in the song seems high. There is an afterbeat that throws static into the sound stream. I switched over to my Apple ear pods and the break-up of the afterbeat went away. Also, the ear pods showed immediately the weakness of the Sennheiser's. I knew going in that these ear buds were not sound canceling. I have a pair of sound canceling head phones if I want true isolation in my music listening and wireless phone calls. But, I got these ear buds to have a light, portable option instead of always carrying around my bulky Sony Headphones. Walking around the office, I heard every conversation taking place around me. The silicon caps on the ear buds offered very little in the way of isolating me from the office. Every scrape of the neck strap against my clothing did enter my ear canal. The sound did disrupt my ability to listen to my phone conversation. The microphone is too sensitive. Every person I spoke with commented that they could hear all the background noise in my office. That is scary because I never want the conversations in the office to broadcast over an open line. My office also has white noise generators that are used to cut down on a lot of the cross noise that occurs when large groups of people are gathered into a small place. The headphones also transmitted this noise. It would have been nice if there was a way to either narrow down the sensitivity of the microphone or if the microphone could zoom in on my voice and ignore the background. Over all, I think the presentation of these headphones is nice. But, given my negative experiences, I cannot recommend these headphones to anyone. Thank you for reading this review. I hope it proves helpful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good sound, AptX bluetooth, solid connection
Originally purchased for 175.00 and thought they were overpriced, but Sennheiser and everyone else dropped the price to $100.00. I had the price adjusted and got a refund for the difference and now I feel they are a good value. Typical Sennheiser sound, somewhat warm with recessed treble.

These are worth it
The sound quality is crystal clear and has excellent bass. I also bought the B&O Beoplay E8, another wireless set, and I have to say I personally think the HD1 sounds slightly better. The bass is stronger, and it sounds a bit cleaner from top to bottom, but that's my personal take. Maybe it offers slightly more detail in the sound. The E8 was already amazing, but I'm even more happy with these. I appreciate the wire that allows me to wear around my neck because I feel less prone to losing them. These are really quite good. For sound, Sennheiser never lets you down. They're easy to connect and use. Make sure, as with all in-ear headphones, to use the right sized buds for your ear for best sound results.
Good but Heavy
Posted 3 years ago . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.
They're actually really good. Really clear. Could be a bit louder. That would be nice. They're kind of too heavy to use when active...but I still really like them. Also, battery life isn't the best...but I still like them.

Q: QuestionAre these earbuds sweat or waterproof?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
A:Answer The hazard and handling document states to always keep the product dry. No where that I could find does it indicate that it is water or sweat proof. Products like these that are sweat/water proof usually have a bullet on the box stating that, as a competitive edge. There is no such claim on the box either.

Runners of all ages and abilities are being urged to do their bit in the fight against heart disease this Mother's Day.
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park run is organised in aid of the British Heart Foundation. Picture: Brad Inglis
Organisers of the British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP) Run are asking people to walk or run a 5k or 10k on Sunday, March 26.
More than 1,000 participants have already signed up. To celebrate Mother's Day, a small gift will be offered to all the mums who are taking part or spectating.
Leanne Postlethwaite, fundraising event manager at the BHF, said: "Challenging yourself to the QEOP is a fantastic way to support the nation's heart charity, save lives and improve your own heart health at the same time.
"By taking on this exciting challenge, every step you take will be helping bring us closer to beating heart disease for good.
"Our research has already helped halve death rates from heart and circulatory disease over the past 50 years, but there is still so much more to be done.
Last year's event raised more than £70,000 for the charity which is dedicated to preventing, diagnosing and treating heart and circulatory disease.

If you want to save money on your monthly cell phone bill, you should switch to one of these discount cell phone plans.
If you want to save money on your monthly cell phone bill, you should switch to one of these discount cell phone plans. By being able to pay by the month, you can often pay a much lower rate with these discount carriers and still have good reception and data speeds. This can be a good option for a student going to college or if you simply want to trim your spending.
The best discount cell phone plans are prepaid plans. Some of these plans are offered by the "Big Four" carriers like Verizon and AT&T. Other discount carriers are third-party groups that use the carrier networks.
Prepaid plans have become very competitive in recent years as traditional carriers have begun to move away from two-year contracts. Since prepaid plans do not have contracts, you can switch carriers at any time as you pay by the month just like you might pay apartment rent.
To switch to a prepaid carrier, you will probably just have to buy a new Sim card ($10) if you bring your own device. You can often recoup the savings within the first month because your bill will be much lower.
Not many prepaid plans offer monthly payments. Some prepaid carriers still sell phones that are several generations old like the iPhone 4 or 5c that haven't been manufactured for several years.
And, if you like the phone plans that allow you to replace your phone on a yearly basis, you will also want to stick with a traditional carrier.
When choosing a new phone carrier, you should do a little bit of research before signing up. While your old phone carrier will be happy to take you back if things don't work out with your new carrier, the porting process can be a hassle.
The first two items you should consider are cost and coverage. Sometimes, you get "what you pay for." A cheap phone is no good if it doesn't work when you need to use it.
You should take into consideration how easy it is to navigate the website. If a website is hard to navigate, it can be an indication that they can have "hidden fees" or bad customer service. Your suspicions can be confirmed or debunked by reading other online user reviews or asking your friends and co-workers for testimonials.

Verizon Prepaid can be cheaper than traditional Verizon plans and you get the same coverage!
Verizon Prepaid is owned by Verizon. If you want to lower your bill, don't want to mess with contracts, and still want access to one of the "Big Four" networks. You still get primary access to the Verizon voice and data network as some of the other discount networks are "throttled" during peak periods.
The prepaid plans can be cheaper than your current traditional Verizon plan with similar data allowances.
Cricket Wireless is owned by AT&T which is #2 in network reliability according to RootMetrics. You can get "group save" discounts by adding multiple lines to your account. If you still want primary access to a national network, Cricket is another good option.
Your new Cricket plan can be cheaper than your current AT&T phone, text, and data plan.
Republic Wireless is another national favorite because of their low-cost plans. If you only want to use wi-fi data (not 3G or 4G), their $15/month plan is a very good option.
Although Republic tries to place your calls and text messages on your local wi-fi network first, it will use Sprint if you do not have a reliable wi-fi connection. You will want to make sure you can receive Sprint coverage before switching to Republic.
Ting offers a la carte pricing!
Ting claims that the average monthly bill is $23. Your monthly bill is based on the number of minutes, text messages, and data you use. Ting's a la carte pricing can be great if you rarely use your phone.
You can either use the Sprint or T-Mobile network. You will need to decide before you port. Some devices have the capability to use both networks and will switch to the stronger network.
FreedomPop gives you 500 texts, 200 minutes, and 500 MB of data FREE each month!
FreedomPop uses wi-fi hotspots and the Sprint network to give your 200 minutes, 500 texts, and 500 MB of free data every month. An additional 500 MB of data costs an extra $6 a month.
FreedomPop is easily the cheapest cell phone plan on this list. If you sign-up, you will have to keep an eye on your inbox as current users say they commonly have to "opt out" of automatic plan upgrades.
Red Pocket offers free international calling to 72 countries.
Red Pocket has relationships with all four networks. You can literally switch to Red Pocket and keep your same phone and network and pay a lower price.
This is a good alternative to the FreedomPop free plan, for those that want to use the Verizon or AT&T network. You can get a similar plan for only $10 a month. Their unlimited data plans are also very reasonable and provide 4G LTE speeds.
If you make international calls, you will like Red Pocket because you can call 72 countries for free!
There are many different prepaid phone carriers to choose from that weren't mentioned in this article. These are some of the best discount cell phone plans that will save you money and provide you with the voice and data quality that you expect from the traditional wireless carriers. If you are ready to switch and start saving money, do it!


The United Nations (UN) has called for the immediate release of an Ethiopian-British citizen being held on death row in Ethiopia for more than a year, a case which campaigners have claimed exposes Britain's poor diplomacy.
Signalling an abrupt hardening of its stance on the case, experts from the UN Human Rights Council have asked Ethiopia to pay Andargachew Tsige 'adequate compensation' before sending him home to London, reported The Guardian.
An eight-page judgement handed to Ethiopia by the UNHRC's working group on arbitrary detention also claimed that 'reliable evidence' had suggested possible situation of physical abuse and mistreatment which could amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Earlier, internal Foreign Office emails, disclosed for the first time, had revealed that Tsige was abducted and jailed in an unknown location in June 2014, with many British officials voicing fears about real risk of torture if Tsige was returned to Ethiopia.
The 60-year-old was detained at Yemen's main airport while in transit and forcibly moved to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. He is a prominent opposition politician and an outspoken critic of the Ethiopian government and the country's human rights record.


On 11th July 2018, leading top 50 Law Firm, Blake Morgan held its annual Built Environment Division Away Day at Brunel University London. The event was organised by Blake Morgan Partner Tony Coyne who is an Honorary Professor of Law at the Brunel law school, and an Alumnus who was also recently short-listed in the Brunel Alumni of the year award.
The away day attracted over 125 lawyers from the firm and included speakers from several of Blake Morgan's offices. One of the key features of the day was hearing from Blake Morgan's newly established project management team of quantity surveyors to complement the firm's Principal Legal offering - this is believed to be the first time that a U.K. Law Firm has set up a team of non-lawyer fee earners.
• Brunel Law School lecturer, Doctor Adrienne Barnett, spoke about the challenges faced in teaching Land Law known for its sometimes mind boggling complexities!
• Colin Darby, Senior Planning Manager at Blake Morgan client, St Modwen, spoke about the major development of the nearby former RAF Uxbridge a site of national historic significance owing to its association with the Battle of Britain.


Mike Powell, member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, presents a detailed look at the inside trip. You'll get an overview of the ideal positions to trip from, basic setups and techniques, as well as tips that Coach Powell teaches to hit the inside trip every time.
Coach Powell breaks down the basic movements of the inside trip. He covers head to side you'll trip, detailing the steps for a successful move. To pull off the inside trip, wrestlers must turn their hips and shuffle step in while keeping the opponent's inside thigh on the front of their thigh. Coach Powell includes the rest of the move progression and gives pointers on what makes the move more effective.
Underhook - Coach Powell's #1 set-up that leads into his highest percentage trip.
Over Under Position - Great move for "less athletic" upper weights.
Over Under with Locked Hands - This position doesn't let the opponent back out and can lead to back points or a fall.
Single Overhook - When the opponent gets the underhook, force them to chase you into the inside trip.
Double Overhook - For wrestlers who have trouble slipping the underhook, especially the upper weights.
Saitiev - From a whizzer position.
Outside/Inside Trip - An effective move against any opponent.
Front Headlock - Coach Powell shows it from a specific headlock position (snap down from underhook), which makes it more high percentage. However, it can be done from any front headlock position.
2-on-1 Position - Can also lead to a double or single leg takedown. Coach Powell gives a detailed breakdown of switching off to finish with a double or single leg takedown.
Coach Powell closes with a look at the Inside Trip as a method to defend the single leg and a drill that trains your wrestlers to keep their knee off the mat until their opponent is off balance.
Everything you need to learn about the inside trip is included in this detailed video from Coach Powell!

Mongol Empire
Expansion of the Mongol Empire
The Mongol Empire, an area ruled by the great Mongol Khans in the 13th and 14th centuries, was one of the largest land empires in history. The original homeland of the Mongols, was bounded by the Khingan Mountains on the east, the Altai and Tian mountains on the west, the Shilka River and the mountain ranges by Lake Baikal on the north, and the Great Wall of China on the south.
It was founded by Genghis Khan in 1206 AD when he brought together the Mongol and Turkic tribes. When he died in 1227 AD, he had conquered Central Asia, North China and parts of eastern Persia. Later his grandson Kublai Khan would go on to expand the empire and found the Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty, ruling whole China. The Mongol Empire stretched from Eastern Europe to Western Asia, including Central Asia and the Middle East. Its power did not last long, though. By the 1360s it had broken into several empires, all of which were later destroyed.

To answer your question on my ABC post, no way did I try it because I threw peppers and curcumin and coriander seeds and I can't remember what else in there. Everything bright and with different textures once I crushed them together but not a mixture fit to be eaten.
The birds do seem to enjoy the feeders during the winter. Great captures!
Wow! great sightings! Sparrows are so rare in my part of the city.

I became a Christian on a snowy Sunday at the beginning of a now legendary blizzard - or rather - series of legendary blizzards that hit my home town so hard when I was a kid - that when the school closings were announced the next morning - it was for the entire week. We ended up being off half of the following week too.
What I mean by "became a Christian" is that it suddenly struck me like a bolt out of the blue - that I believed in Jesus and that He was the One I wanted to follow with my life. My very next thought was that if I believed that - but didn't follow through on it - I'd be a liar - and not just any kind of liar - but the kind of liar who lies about Jesus. Which at that age was about the worst thing I could think of. I still remember feeling my face flush as we sang that Sunday - and my hands go cold - and with my heart pounding - I slipped out of the row and slid around the rest of my family and walked across the creaky old wooden floorboards forward to where my dad stood delivering the altar call.
Before I knew it - the whole church had decided that despite all the weather reports forecasting severe winter weather my family did not head home for warmth and safety from the impending storm. Instead we all drove the complete opposite direction to another church - because ours was too little to have its own baptistery. I remember that afternoon vividly still - and I especially remember how I felt coming up out of the water.
Middle and high school were not fun - and my faith took quite a hit. But as a freshman in college I met some people with not only amazing walks with God - but the ability to explain to me how they got that way - and I dove in. I read my Bible cover to cover; several times. Started journaling. Went to Bible studies. Spent hours in one-on-one discipleship. Gave up casual dating. Memorized dozens of chapters of the Bible. Evangelized on campus - lots. Invited class mates to the campus ministry. Led Bible studies. Volunteered. Went on missions trips. Fasted. I went on long solitary trips into the wilderness to pray. Committed my life to ministry and have worked hard to live a surrendered life. Over the years I've read so many books on walking with Jesus that if I put them all in one pile - I could build myself a new house out of them. None of those things is what actually grows us - Jesus grows us - especially when we want Him to. There has never been anything I've wanted as badly was to walk as close as I can with Jesus.
Nothing - no conference, no music, no book, no conversation - nothing - has altered my life so subtly, pleasantly or as powerfully as the Grace Habit. After the first day - I remember thinking, "Huh. That was interesting." That first day felt more accidental than momentous. Now - something like 1000 days later - I'm just overwhelmed with gratitude. I still want to give God a solid effort every day - but there's just something about sacrificially laying down one day at its end - and stepping into God's love - and meditating on it - reveling in it and letting His love be the last word on the day.
20 some years ago I remember talking with friends and co-workers - and musing how true I'd found Matthew 26:41 to be: "The spirit is willing - but the flesh is weak." - as I struggled day after day with the same things. Sure - year over year - I could see some growth - but it fell short of what I'd hoped for. I had a sneaking suspicion that I was somehow the biggest thing getting in God's way - but I had no idea what to change. So I tried harder. Worked harder. Prayed longer. The metaphor that emerged was that it was as if that day in the garden - immediately after the "apple" - a light-switch had been flipped - and though I was saved, and though I was baptized - and though I had every assurance of who God was in my life - I just didn't quite know how to flip that switch back on again. I'd pray about it - and pray about it - and pray about it. Drawings of light-switches flipped on started showing up in all of my journals.
While I have no regrets as to how much effort I poured into my walk - I am incredibly grateful for the Grace Habit - which has slowly but surely - replaced all the angsty uncertainty and lingering doubt I once carried with calm trust, unparalleled inner peace, and a level of resiliency I'd barely dreamed to fantasize about before. The change has been so extreme - that though it's been three years now - it's startlingly encouraging to glance back at 1000 or so days ago and notice what God's done. And to be clear - I take no credit for any of it. It was all God. If God can do this for me - I cannot even wrap my head around all He's ready to do for everyone. There is simply no generosity like the generosity of God - especially when we stop telling Him what He has to give us - and accept the gift He wants to give us.
There's an aspect of chasing God - that can tire. I still would not choose to live otherwise. And happy as I am with the Grace Habit - whether or not it is "the light switch" I've been looking for - or one of several - or one of many - all I know is it seems that the very familiar pattern of wanting to obey, falling short and feeling frustrated by falling short - has given way to a very different pattern. And - I recognize that I say this in a season of manifestation - not hiddenness - but the Grace Habit itself started deep within a long season of hiddenness. (see yesterday's post) I do not say any of these things lightly. It's been three years of testing, meditating, studying, talking, and seeking more wisdom on this new development in my 30 year search. I'm still searching for more wisdom - but the search, the struggle, the growth - all feels new, different, - fresher and more hope infused than I could've imagined.

Q: ASP.NET MVC: Routing custom slugs without affecting performance I would like to create custom slugs for pages in my CMS, so users can create their own SEO-urls (like Wordpress).
I used to do this in Ruby on Rails and PHP frameworks by "abusing" the 404 route. This route was called when the requested controller could not be found, enabling me te route the user to my dynamic pages controller to parse the slug (From where I redirected them to the real 404 if no page was found). This way the database was only queried to check the requested slug.
However, in MVC the catch-all route is only called when the route does not fit the default route of /{controller}/{action}/{id}.
To still be able to parse custom slugs I modified the RouteConfig.cs file:
public class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "DefaultApi",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );

        RegisterCustomRoutes(routes);

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { Controller = "Pages", Action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }

    public static void RegisterCustomRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        CMSContext db = new CMSContext();
        List<Page> pages = db.Pages.ToList();
        foreach (Page p in pages)
        {
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: p.Title,
                url: p.Slug,
                defaults: new { Controller = "Pages", Action = "Show", id = p.ID }
            );
        }
        db.Dispose();
    }
}

This solves my problem, but requires the Pages table to be fully queried for every request. Because a overloaded show method (public ViewResult Show(Page p)) did not work I also have to retrieve the page a second time because I can only pass the page ID.

*

*Is there a better way to solve my problem?

*Is it possible to pass the Page object to my Show method instead of the page ID?

A: Even if your route registration code works as is, the problem will be that the routes are registered statically only on startup. What happens when a new post is added - would you have to restart the app pool?
You could register a route that contains the SEO slug part of your URL, and then use the slug in a lookup.
RouteConfig.cs
routes.MapRoute(
    name: "SeoSlugPageLookup",
    url: "Page/{slug}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Page",
                    action = "SlugLookup",
                  });

PageController.cs
public ActionResult SlugLookup (string slug)
{
    // TODO: Check for null/empty slug here.

    int? id = GetPageId (slug);

    if (id != null) {
        return View ("Show", new { id });
    }

    // TODO: The fallback should help the user by searching your site for the slug.
    throw new HttpException (404, "NotFound");
}

private int? GetPageId (string slug)
{
    int? id = GetPageIdFromCache (slug);

    if (id == null) {
        id = GetPageIdFromDatabase (slug);

        if (id != null) {
            SetPageIdInCache (slug, id);
        }
    }

    return id;
}

private int? GetPageIdFromCache (string slug)
{
    // There are many caching techniques for example:
    // http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd287191.aspx
    // http://alandjackson.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/key-based-cache-in-mvc3-5/
    // Depending on how advanced you want your CMS to be,
    // caching could be done in a service layer.
    return slugToPageIdCache.ContainsKey (slug) ? slugToPageIdCache [slug] : null;
}

private int? SetPageIdInCache (string slug, int id)
{
    return slugToPageIdCache.GetOrAdd (slug, id);
}

private int? GetPageIdFromDatabase (string slug)
{
    using (CMSContext db = new CMSContext()) {
        // Assumes unique slugs.
        Page page = db.Pages.Where (p => p.Slug == requestContext.Url).SingleOrDefault ();

        if (page != null) {
            return page.Id;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

public ActionResult Show (int id)
{
    // Your existing implementation.
}

(FYI: Code not compiled nor tested - haven't got my dev environment available right now. Treat it as pseudocode ;)
This implementation will have one search for the slug per server restart. You could also pre-populate the key-value slug-to-id cache at startup, so all existing page lookups will be cheap.

There once was a horse named Fergus. His hair was as white as the snow. He was wiggly and weird when you rode him but he was as majestic as a unicorn to see. This horse inspired our co-founder, Gillian Taylor, to take up the life of an equestrian.
The name Snaffle&Mane was inspired by the image Gillian chose as our logo. A snaffle is the piece of a bridle (a bit) that fits into the horse's mouth and we're pretty sure you can figure out what the mane is from. Both things are depicted in our logo image.

University captain Will Britton and fellow student Miles Reid in line to make Bath Rugby debuts
University of Bath students Will Britton and Miles Reid are in contention to make their Bath Rugby debuts on Saturday after being named on the bench for the Anglo-Welsh Cup clash against Newcastle Falcons (The Rec, 3pm).
Sport & Social Sciences student Britton (pictured) is captain of the University's BUCS Super Rugby team, for whom Reid – a former Beechen Cliff School pupil who began a Sports Performance course this year – has appeared regularly since returning from a long-term injury in November. He is one of several Bath Rugby Academy players combining study and sport at the University.
Bath Rugby, who will be captained against Falcons by Sport & Exercise Science graduate Luke Charteris, have been assisted in their preparations for this weekend's game by seven of the University's BUCS Super Rugby squad.
Britton and Jack Davies, a Sport & Exercise Science student supported by a Santander Sports Scholarship, have trained with the Blue, Black & Gold all week and were joined by University team-mates Chris Barry, Scott Russell, Will Flinn, Jake Buckingham and Tom Doughty for Thursday's training session at Farleigh House.

The University men's 1st XV return to BUCS Super Rugby action on Wednesday (January 31) when they visit Kingston Park – home of Newcastle Falcons – to face Northumbria University.
The IKON Construction-sponsored team then have their final home game of the league season on Wednesday, February 7 when they welcome Nottingham Trent to the University of Bath Sports Training Village. Kick-off is 6.30pm and entry is free.

Above is Big Splash, the 11 month old Red Tibetan Mastiff that has been deemed the most expensive dog in the world, having been sold to a Chinese coal baron for $1.5 million dollars. Hey, he's the same color as Quigley. But his hair is much longer. They say that red is a lucky color in China and that mastiffs are regarded as holy dogs. They are believed to be the reincarnations of Tibetan monks and nuns who weren't good enough to be reincarnated as humans or to get into Shambala, or the heavenly realm.
I'm having trouble understanding why the soul of a failed monk in the body of a dog would be something desirable? Are they expected to work harder in service because they have been demoted to a literal dog house?
Apparently these dogs are the new status symbols of the super rich in China. They can grow to weigh 280 pounds, though 180 is more the average. Big Splash already weighs that much, so he's going to be a big doggie when he's grown.

Triple J's Dom Alessio to host Gold Coast Music Awards, tickets on sale now
Dom Alessio is one of Australia's favourite radio personalities and today Gold Coast Music Awards organisers announced the former triple j Home & Hosed host as MC for the 2018 event.
Gold Coast Music Awards are announced right on the beach in Surfers Paradise on Thursday 3 May.
"There's been some fantastic music coming out of the Gold Coast the past few years," said Sydney-based Alessio, who has spent the past eight years presenting the best brand new Australian music on the country's largest youth radio network.
"It feels like a really exciting time for the City's music scene and I'm honoured to have been asked to host the awards this year. I can't wait to be there to celebrate Gold Coast music."
Gold Coast Music Awards partnership manager Amanda Gorman said 2018 was the perfect year for the event to look outside the city for a high-profie host.
"If there's anyone that knows Australian music, it's Dom Alessio," Amanda said. "From his work on national radio to his new role with peak music body Sounds Australia, we're really thrilled that he shares our excitement about the local music scene."
Tickets are also on sale today for the VIP ticketed function that sees winners crowned across eight categories.
The function takes place in a marquee on the beach on Thursday 3 May and as with all previous years, the 2018 Gold Coast Music Awards event is expected to sell out. As well as Dom Alessio guiding the evening's proceedings, Beatniks DJs will keep the vibe on point and guests will receive a complimentary drink as well as canapes through the night.
Healthy crowds are also expected to attend the free live outdoor concert, which this year features multi award-winning roots musician Bobby Alu, Hussy Hicks, Electrik Lemonade and Eliza and the Delusionals. The concert takes place on a festival-sized stage adjacent to the VIP marquee.

PPSA: THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA IN AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES LAW
The Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) marked the dawn of a new era in Australian securities law. The Act brought about somewhat of a seismic shift in the legislative framework, challenging traditional concepts. No longer is ownership of personal property determinative of a party's rights.
The PPSA deals with the creation, legal effect and determination of priority disputes between 'security interests'.
Being only three years old, there is little jurisprudence to assist us in understanding how some of the complex provisions of the Act will be construed. Accordingly, there is still much uncertainty in the way the Act operates and how it affects various transactions.
The key issues to take home following our recent PPSA presentations are:-
care should be taken in evaluating transactions to determine whether they give rise to 'security interests' which must be registered on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR).
to ensure an effective registration, security interests must be promptly registered within the timeframes set by the Act and also the Corporations Act
Purchase Money Security Interests (PMSIs) for inventory must be registered before goods are delivered;
PMSIs for non-inventory must be registered within 15 days of goods being delivered;
Security interests must be registered within 20 days of the security agreement coming into force.
care should be taken in completing a finance statement to register a security interest because the Act establishes a very prescriptive checklist.
a failure to register or an error or misdescription may result in a secured creditor losing its collateral in an insolvency event or alternatively losing out in a priority dispute with other creditors.
The most common transactions giving rise to security interests are sales under retention of title. They can be simply registered prior to delivery of inventory in order to ensure that those security interests are protected.
There is an uncertainty surrounding bailments, such as where goods are deposited on a customer's premises (for example where ancillary to a service contract) and whether they give rise to a deemed security interest which if unregistered might expose the owner of those goods to loss in an insolvency event. Generally speaking, where goods are bailed there will not be any risk unless the bailee (customer) uses those goods in its business and provides consideration for them. Accordingly, typical bailment arrangements such as for storage, repair and transportation would not ordinarily give rise to a PPS Lease. Nonetheless, consideration should be given to the terms of any agreement.
There is little doubt that the hire industry has been hardest hit by the introduction of the PPSA. Short-term hires of motor vehicles and other goods may give rise to deemed security interests which if not registered may result in a loss of collateral in an insolvency event.
It is important to ensure that transactions are properly documented and signed by the parties to ensure that a security interest may be registered. Remember to exercise care in commercial dealings when receiving a purchase order which contains alternative terms and conditions. Your client might unwittingly agree to the terms of its trading partner which does not provide adequately for the security interest that was intended.
The cost of registering a security interest is minor (eg. $8 for a seven year term) relative to the risk of loss. So, where there is any uncertainty as to whether a transaction gives rise to a security interest, it may be prudent to lodge a finance statement anyway to avoid unnecessary risks.
The PPSA is likely to be amended in the years ahead. A recent review has made 400 recommendations. However, it is not likely that we will see much change in the near future.


THK's creative ideas and unique technology made the company a worldwide pioneer in the development of the Linear Motion (LM) Guide mechanism. Today, its LM Guide devices are an indispensable component of mechanical and electronic systems in a wide variety of industries.
Compact actuator with high rigidity and high precision that has an integrated linear motion guide with a ball screw lead from 1 mm to 25 mm.
Linear motion guide that uses a ball cage to eliminate friction between balls. Each row of balls is arranged at a contact angle of 45° allowing this model to be used in all directions.
Global standard size linear motion guide where each row of balls is arranged at a contact angle of 45°. The rated loads applied are uniform in the radial, reverse radial, and lateral directions, allowing this model to be used in all orientations.


This compact reflector (medium, 140 degrees beam angle, for 315e SE CMH fixtures) is a reflector optimized for stand-alone use.
This reflector has a new type of mounting system: Instead of a bracket which holds the reflector on both sides, the reflector is now clipped on the ballast housing itself. This reduces size and weight, enables easy replacement and provides optimal positioning and stability of the small reflector.
This reflector is made of a very high grade Miro® aluminum which provides optimal reflectance of light to your crop.
Our bracket is designed to be able to change your reflector quickly. Miro® aluminum cannot easily be cleaned, and when you clean it, it will never be as good as a new reflector. We recommend changing reflectors every year in a "dirty" environment (dust, foggers, sprays) or every two years in a clean environment.


Our Morgan Family Legacy in America was established by the two families that resulted from the marriages of Thomas Morgan to Ann Ollen Watkins in 1841, and to Nancy Jane Radford Ryset in 1871.
Thomas Morgan and Ann Ollen Watkins were married in England in 1841. They came to America in 1855, bringing with them four children (Edward, Elizabeth, Eliza and Priscilla). Three more children (William Thomas, James John, Everal Hannah) were born in Utah.
Thomas married Nancy Jane Radford Ryset, a widow with three small children (Francis Daniel, Melvin and Don Carlos), in 1871. Melvin died in December,1871 and Don Carlos died in 1873. Only Francis Daniel (Frank) survived to adulthood. Thomas and Nancy Jane had 9 children, only four (John Thomas, Martha Velleta, Joseph Charles, and Lydia Almeda) survived to adulthood.
This picture, taken in the winter of 1915-16, 1916-17, or 1917-18, was clearly an attempt by the author to bring together all the living children of Thomas Morgan from these two marriages. Eliza died in 1892. James John lived in the area where the picture was taken but was not present. Other than James John, all the living children of these two marriages are present in this picture.
This picture was taken on the same day and in the same place as the top picture. Here the author has gathered not just the Thomas Morgan children, but a number of other inlaws as well. These pictures were taken a year or two after Thomas died at his daughter Priscilla's house near Ririe, Idaho. The last living wife of Thomas Morgan, Susan Augusta Byington Wilbur is present, as is her daughter Ruth Dennis Wilbur, who was married to both James John (Who is not present) and later to William Thomas (4th from right, standing). If the person on the Right Side is Sarah Ryset, as we believe, she was not only the wife of Frank Ryset, but the daughter of Edward (Ted) Morgan. They were not blood relatives, however, as Frank was the son of Francis Frederick Ryset and Nancy Jane Radford. Sarah Priscilla Morgan Ryset was born in 1872, married Frank Ryset in 1888, and died in 1954.
