Signs that your workout is wrecking your body
By Ea Francisco | Photo by Justyn Warner/Unsplash
They say that when it comes to achieving your workout goals, it's 'no pain, no gain.' You just keep going as hard as you can as often as possible. But what a lot of people don't understand is that too much pain could be your body telling you that you're overtraining. Even though exercise is generally good for you, going too hard all the time can have negative effects. If you're experiencing these signs, then maybe it's time to reassess your workout frequency.
If you train too much, your nervous system remains stimulated and excited, which can make you feel unfocused and restless. Further lack of sleep can affect your mood and recovery, which affects your overall immune system.
Stress causes an increase in a number of hormones and it's your adrenal gland's job to manage and respond to it. But according to a study, chronic overtraining can impair its functions, and your body becomes unable to keep up with the hormonal balance. This eventually leads to fatigue.
Extended Muscle Soreness
It's normal to experience soreness after a workout, but if it seems like yours is lasting particularly longer, then it's a sign that your muscles aren't recovering. If you still feel sore even with proper sleep and diet, then it's a common sign of overtraining.
Stunted Progress
If you're monitoring your changes and notice that you don't seem to be improving, that could be a sign for overtraining. Your muscles aren't recovering enough, and all those microscopic tears are being torn again every time. If this continues, you may even experience a time when you can't even finish a normal workout because of soreness and low stamina.
Symptoms of overtraining tend to overlap or have a domino effect because of similar reasons. It's really less about training too much and more about not having enough recovery. Even seasoned athletes know their limits.

Formula 1 drivers arrive in the first pre-season test with high hopes. Whether you've had a disappointing season last time around or you've won the championship the previous season, it doesn't matter - all teams start afresh. With the massive regulation change this season - in respect of aerodynamics as well as the engines(now dubbed power unit along with ERS), 2014 cars had little to do with its predecessors. In such a situation, Mercedes debuted their latest challenger, W05, in best possible manner, completing more laps than any other team in pre-season testing with no apparent issues. When the season kicked off in Australia, the Brackley based team continued on their fine form with Nico Rosberg winning the race by a mammoth margin of 27 seconds. This was followed by three straight 1-2 finishes, with Hamilton finishing ahead in each result. So how does their start to 2014 season compares with the best in history? We find out on the basis of three parameters.
Four wins in first four races
Ferrari 2004
Ferrari were the last outfit to score four back-to-back victories in first four races of the season. In fact they went one better, with Schumacher winning the opening five rounds of the 2004 season. With arch rivals McLaren and Williams struggling to be on par with F2004, Schumacher easily secured his seventh and final title while Ferrari clinched their sixth straight constructors championship.
Benetton 1994
We will have to go back another decade to find the next team who came on top in first four races of the season. It was the clothing brand Benetton, with Schumacher behind the wheel(again) that managed this result in their ninth season in Formula 1 as a constructor. While Schumacher went on to win the drivers title, lack of results from other side of the garage meant Benetton only came second in the constructors standings.
Williams 1992
Williams, during the peak of active suspension era, also managed this result in 1992. With the dominant Williams FW14, Nigel Mansell scored nine victories(including five in first five races of the season) to seal both the titles.
McLaren 1998
And how can we forget McLaren's exemplary 1988 season. With Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the driving seat and Honda turbo engines on the back of the iconic MP4-4, McLaren won 15 out of 16 races of the season, with the Italian GP being the only race where a McLaren driver was not on the top step of the rostrum.
Led every lap of first four races
You need more than just a dominant car to lead every lap of the race. And to repeat it in four straight races in no easy feat. Only two teams in the 65 year history of Formula 1 have led every single lap of the first four races of a given season. Mercedes have now entered this list, joining Williams(1992) and McLaren(1988).
However, an important thing to note is that a driver may lose the lead of the race briefly, if it pits earlier than its rivals. He may still emerge in front once pit the stops are done and lead the remaining part of the race.
Four poles and as many victories in opening four races of the season
Williams and McLaren, who share a total of 17 constructors title between them have managed to start the first four races of a season from pole position and have come out on top in each of them.
In 1992, Nigel Mansell started the season with six straight pole positions and added further eight over the remainder of the season. On Sundays too, there was no match for the British driver who had narrowly missed out on championship multiple times. He scored a podium in each and every race he made the chequered flag, and won nine of them, to secure his maiden drivers title.
In 1998, qualifying specialist Ayrton Senna always had the upper hand over then two-times world champion teammate Alain Prost, scoring six straight pole positions to kick start the season. Prost, on his part, scored most points on race days but lost out on the championship as only best 11 results were considered.
It is a bit unfair to compare cars and drivers of different eras. Further, unlike Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren and Williams never left Formula 1 once they've dominated the sport(1954-55). Enzo Ferrari merely produced road cars for sponsoring his Formula 1 team. Similarly, McLaren and Williams have showed total commitment towards the sport. In stark contrast, it is widely accepted that if Mercedes had not succeeded after the wake up-call from Daimler in late 2012, they would have pulled out of the the pinnacle of motorsport.
Nevertheless, Mercedes have done a fantastic job in producing the best power unit(and probably the best car) this season. As 2009 showed, regulation change is more of an opportunity than a threat. The top guns failed to realize it and are now paying the price for the same.
4/5/2014 12:59:12 pm
It is obviously that the Mercedes ahead in this new hybrid era, but we all know it's only time before we will see others come back to take their place, it's sport and that's what makes it interesting.

To all my friends down south, rejoice, as Morganfield's just opened their second branch on the Ground Floor of SM Mall of Asia (North Wing). Absolutely one of the best places that serves delicious, meaty, flavorful ribs.
My friends and I were invited to the opening and as always, Morganfield's delivered on all fronts. We were served their best-sellers and also some new items on the menu.
We started the dinner with salad. Not a huge vegetable eater but I don't mind having their Smokin' Duck Salad as a meal-starter. The vegetables were crisp and fresh and the smokiness from the duck added a fantastic depth of flavour. My only recommendation is to add more lime or lemon juice as the salad begs for a bit more acidity.
The meat on the Jim Beam Iberico Ribs were so tender that there was no need for a knife. If you want to taste a little bit of each of the best sellers, I highly recommend their Lunch Combos/Specials. The Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs and Tequila Spiked Chicken Combo was probably the second best thing after the Iberico Ribs. The chicken was still as good as I remembered–Moist, juicy, and tender! The Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs were flavorful and paired well with the coleslaw.
I have been coming to Morganfield's (BGC Branch) for almost a year now and I have NEVER been disappointed. Service and ambience were at its best. Please, do yourself a favour and check them out when you are in the area.

Christie's flop
But some people came to his rescue. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and presidential contender, said it wasn't really Christie's job to promote Romney.
"His role as the keynote speaker was to set the sort of background for what this campaign is going to be about: a contrast of ideas and ways of looking at government," Giuliani said on CNN.
Some blogs on the right also rallied behind Christie, with the conservative Hot Air remarking that "the parts about him were effective and necessary, since the opposition's plan is to dehumanize him."
Still, even conservatives sensed a lack of hearty aggressiveness in Christie's remarks, while excusing the governor for the deficiency as a focus on "governance" or "philosophy."
While justifying Christie on his state's record, The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan said Republican Party faithful was left wanting more.
"They're hungry for someone who is an elected official at a high level, and who is admired, to push back, to have fun, to stir the blood, to make the case, to get the troops going again," Noonan wrote. "Chris Christie is a politician and there's nothing in it for him, as a New Jersey Republican, as a guy trying to survive and prosper in a Democratic state, in really bringing it to President Obama. He stuck to thoughts on governance. This was worthy."
Where some saw effective restraint, others saw the speech as disappointing due to Christie's atypical lack of frankness.
The New York Times panned the speech as missing the sort of truth-telling Christie demands.
"Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, in the keynote speech, angrily demanded that the American people learn the hard truths about the two parties, but like most of those at the microphone, he failed to supply any," read an editorial in the paper Wednesday.
The Washington Post's Erik Wemple added that the speech was "flat and predictable. … Everyone wanted the press-conference Chris Christie to show up. You know him — he's the guy who takes a question from someone, tells a joke and then delivers a nice verbal whipping. Everyone laughs, and he repeats the exercise."
"I think the greater problem with the speech is that it didn't have the kind of uplifting, optimistic tone or substance that you need to have if you're going to do what Obama did in 2004," said John Heilemann on MSNBC's "Way Too Early." "He looked kind of angry through the speech, and he looked angrier than he sounded. But there was not a lot … of happy warrior in Chris Christie."

Is it just me or does every year go by faster than the last? This one flew by but the ride was pretty great – thanks in large part to the resolutions I set last year to "become a morning person" and to start this blog. I mean, realistically speaking, it's gonna take years for me to naturally jump out of bed before the sun is up, but working towards that goal has certainly had an impact. Most days in 2014 started 3 WHOLE HOURS before I had to be in the office – this from the girl who would usually sleep until the last… possible… minute... ("and there went my bus"). All that new-found time allowed me to design, write, edit, craft, and photograph for the blog – which was far more rewarding than extra ZZZs. Getting to interact with y'all has been nothing short of wonderful, so THANK YOU for reading and asking questions and sharing your opinions and experiences! You've made this year truly special.
Since last New Year's goals turned out so great, this year I'm setting bloggy goals, house goals, career goals, physical goals, emotional goals, financial goals … you name it, I'm goalin' it. Who says we should settle for just one?!
But before I go dreaming up my ideal 2015 I wanna take a moment to look back and appreciate what Eli & I accomplished in 2014. I'm always thinking about the next thing and what still needs to be done, and I often forget that we've come a long way already in just one year. So, without further ado, the biggest house changes in 2014:
1. We painted the kitchen cabinets
This was by far the biggest project we tackled, and Eli got it all on video to share with you guys.
2. We refinished the floors
As suspected, our sexy dark floors totally transform the look of the house.
3. We wallpapered the powder room
The bold geometric pattern puts the "POW!" in powder room. Naw mean? And this room gets bonus points for being the first one finished!
4. We built a headboard and grown-up bedframe
We graduated from Ikea Hacks to West Elm Hacks, y'all. I upholstered a headboard to look pretty damn close to this one from WE, and Eli found a *free* WE platform bed frame on Craigslist that he converted to hold our box spring.
5. We created a breakfast nook in the laundry room
It's easy to forget that this time last year the laundry room was just for laundry. Now it's my go-to spot for eating breakfast, enjoying a cup of coffee, and writing my next blog post.
6. We stained and sealed the deck
Step 1 for "Pimp my Porch" completed, with a video to boot. Summer soirees here we come.
7. We installed a medicine cabinet
And found a window inside the wall…which still has made me wondering what else is behind these walls. I mean, hellooooooo, there could be treasure!!! But for now I'm content just to have the toothbrushes hidden.
Well that was a fun little victory lap! I usually just collapse at the finish line. Here I was feeling like we are sooo farrrr from finished, but we really are so much closer than we were! Eli is doing a celebratory dance cuz he thinks that means we're done. We're certainly not, but every project is forward progress. To steal a cliché from the blogosphere – transforming a home is a marathon not a sprint. How many more running analogies do you think I can fit in one post?
So what's in store for next year? Hopefully a lot of really spectacular, awesome, highly superlative things. I think we can accomplish even more than last year by planning things out a little better, but my top 5 priorities are:
1. A living room refresh: Our Ikea loveseats' days are numbered. I'm shopping for sofas and chairs as we speak and devising a plan to add closed storage to the built-ins.
2. Light fixtures: I've got a few great ones that have been laying around for months – it's time to hang them already!
3. Natural light: Before buying a row house I didn't fully appreciate the value of windows and sunlight – silly me. The lack of light has been my nemesis! This year I want to get new exterior doors with windows, and I want to open up the skylight that was mysteriously covered by a previous owner.
4. Tricking out the guest room: It's more like "the junk room" right now – it's embarrassing. We need to build a proper bed (with storage!), configure the office, and *brownie points* if I can make it work as a studio for blog photos, too.
5. Back yard reno: Last spring & summer were not so productive in the yard department. This year I want to get serious about making it more useful and beautiful.
That should keep us busy for a little while, yeah? :) What are you guys hoping to accomplish in the 2015? Anyone else setting multiple goals?

For The Record
So it is not secret I have finally been converting my Records into a digital format lately. There are several reasons why it has happened now. Firstly, I actually have an old PC dedicated to recording. Secondly, I also have a turntable with a band that isn't stretched like an old stocking! Thirdly, and most prompting, I need to pack again! The house is for sale!
So many things are being unpacked (long boring story that spans several lifetimes) and only what is wanted is being repacked to move. Since it may be some time before I unpack into a new house, I want to keep only what is needed or wanted. The records are no different.
So I have been quite ruthless (well, ruthless for me at any rate) and a few boxes worth of records will no longer be crowding the 18 wheeler when we move again!
Many people don't believe that I had close to about 2000 LPs! So for the record, here is proof of what has survived the sorting! I have slimmed it down to my ugly old grey cupboard and two boxes! Their numbers will thin down some more as the years go by and I replace them with CDs.
One ugly grey cupboard confined to the back room not to scare fashionistas!
A Box with about 100 LPs
Yet Another Box with give or take 100 odd!
So far I have gotten around to a brief selection from here and there, the Disco section, foreign section, and about a 5th of the Easy Listening section! So much to record! So little time!
The thing is that a lot of that music is simply not available or too costly to replace it all. So Enoch Light spins and the PC records…
What I found very interesting is the amount of resurgent interest in old records and the vinyl oddity online. I was just researching for dates and such – as many older records simply omitted them – and found a wealth of info online.
I thought I was one of the few people left who knew what Phase 4 Stereo was! I was so surprised to see many of my old records reliving a second wind online! I never realised so many people knew what the Franck Pourcel I was talking about!
Soon, I shall be experiencing Phase 4 Stereo in 5.1 surround sound! Fabodelic! Just a tremendous pity there is no way of getting these quadraphonic records recorded beyond stereo. It would put the 5.1 to shame by 7.1!

CTBTO Executive Secretary Lassina Zerbo paid an official visit to Ukraine on 9 September 2013. Zerbo met Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Kostyantyn Gryshchenko, who reaffirmed Ukraine's commitment and support for the Treaty.
"Ukraine occupies a strategic position between the western and eastern world. It showed the way, in which you need to go for abandoning nuclear tests. We need a voice of Ukraine to convince those states that refuse to sign the treaty. I'm here today to hold talks with diplomats and people, who will make political decisions to help make the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban the international law," Zerbo commented during the press-conference with the Ukrainian media.

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? There are 43 days left for Christmas :-) Surely, time flies so fast. Around this time last year we moved here in our apartment. We will be celebrating our second Christmas here. We decided to put up our Christmas tree and decorations after Thanksgiving. With regards to shopping, I am almost done with my shopping for my balikbayan box. The last box I sent, my family received it about 38 days. So sending the boxes I have now this Saturday, hopefully, they will get it by Christmas time.
Maybe during black Friday we we will shop for Christmas gifts for our kids and send it early to them. I am scouting from different stores who offers good deals though because I know that stores are also marking down merchandise to entice buyers. We were at Sears this afternoon and I was stunned with the low price of flat screen television. The same thing with Walmart and Best Buy. But we don't need new television just yet :-) I am looking at new computer monitor, so hopefully I can get one for Christmas :-)

The Pros and Cons of Bottlefeeding
The decision to breastfeed or bottle-feed is an important yet personal decision that every mother must make. There are pros and cons to both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. Though using formula is not as healthy as breastfeeding, there are still some possible benefits of bottle-feeding to consider.
Anyone Can Feed
The American Pregnancy Association states that one benefit of bottle-feeding is the fact that anyone can feed the baby formula. With breastfeeding, only the mom can feed the baby, which sometimes causes the baby to develop a stronger link to the mother than the father. Bottle-feeding allows friends and other family members to feed the baby.
Measurable Amounts
Another argument on the pro side of bottle-feeding is that with feeding a baby formula, it is easy to see how much formula the baby consumes. FamilyPlanning.org reports that formula amounts are tracked in measurable amounts, something that's nearly impossible to do with breastfeeding. This also helps to show when a baby is going through a growth spurt.
Not as Nutritious
One downside to bottle-feeding is that formula is not as nutritious as breast milk. The American Pregnancy Association explains that breast milk contains the perfect amount of nutrients for a growing baby. Breast milk also contains antibodies that can protect babies from getting sick, while formula does not contain these important antibodies.
More Expensive
One advantage to breastfeeding is that it's free, since the milk is produced naturally in the mother's breasts after having a baby. Bottle-feeding, on the other hand, can get expensive, according to FamilyPlanning.org. Formula can cost several hundred dollars per month, plus the expense of bottles and other necessary equipment.
Not as Easily Digested
Another con to consider before bottle-feeding is the fact that formula is not as easily digested as breast milk is. The American Pregnancy Association states that the enzymes in breast milk allow it to be digested very easily. Some babies have problems digesting formula because the different ingredients are not broken down by the body as easily. This may cause some babies to develop constipation, gas or diarrhea.

In order to be an art therapist, a master's level is needed by those who hold a degree in art therapy, or in a related field. Furthermore, an art therapist needs to have professional credentialing, which involves the Art Therapy Credentials Board, also known as the ATCB. Following the American Art Therapy Association, also known as the AATA, it became the national credentialing body for governing art therapy. And the ATCB Board has now recognized several mental health fields that are associated with art therapy–counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, psychology, addictions counseling, psychiatric nursing, and psychiatry.
Both organizations, the American Art Therapy Association and the Art Therapy Credentials Board, are continuously being confused with their similarities and differences. Some of this has to do with the fact both that both are considered as non-profit organizations, both have independent purposes, and both are separate legal entities. Each company has their own board of directors and separate management offices, while operating according to their own articles of incorporation and bylaws. And last but not least, each company has its own respective mission as its own particular goal.
The mission of the American Art Therapy Association is to "serve its members and the general public by providing standards of professional competence, and developing and promoting knowledge in, and of, the field of art therapy." The American Art Therapy Association is primarily responsible for developing and sustaining art therapy at large, actively involved in setting educational standards for the art therapy programs.
A powerful form of self-expression, art therapy eventually began to be a valuable therapeutic tool for those who were mentally ill or even emotionally disturbed. And over the years, art therapy began to use painting and drawing to form the basis of a working relationship between the therapist and their patient, revealing hidden or unconscious emotions and issues.
We know that without the development of art therapy, the American Art Therapy Association would never have been developed. But the need for the American Art Therapy Association began a long time after art therapy originated, even though visual expression had been used throughout the entire history of humanity. Art therapy began in the 1940s when the psychiatrists began to become very interested in the artwork of their mentally ill patients. Additionally, those who were involved with education and children's artwork were simultaneously discovering that the creative process demonstrated many things: the individuals developmental stages, their emotion state, and the lack or disorder of cognitive growth.
Today, art therapy encompasses many aspects and has become an increasingly prestigious and recognized field, with the American Art Therapy Association setting forth the educational, professional, and ethical standards for its members. And those members who have membership in the American Art Therapy Association have an advantage of employment over those who do not.
Many states individually regulate the art therapy practice, with some allowing the art therapists becoming licensed as counselors or mental health therapists, as members who belong to the AATA are dedicated to the belief that the creative process is healing and life enhancing.

This is a very good point. The lack of films that have been produced has made it easier for me to comprehend animation history, so it has the small library advantage. There's sort of a Catch 22 here, I think. Most popular animated films fall into the action genre, and listing films by genre may backfire by proving animation's narrowness.
Personally, I think that animation could perhaps better be defined another way, by sectors. Different traditions are radically diverse just on how they create their reality, and I think that separating animation by different basic concepts underlying it would represent it better, rather than focusing on genres which work better for live action. Genres simply don't represent animation's potential adequately, in my opinion. In an artform that needn't be so glued to reality, there's no need to have genres based on such moods and familiar concepts. I think that defining films beyond storytelling into how they represent reality would be better
Near-reality-The animated works that aim towards realistic settings
Cartoon-Works with exaggerated forms and an emphasis on humor
Folk-Fairy-Tales to folk legends
Topological-Works which are especially interested in Shapes and Forms
Typographical-Uses text and symbols in motion order to create a more symbolic reality
Those are my attempts at a couple categories. I think categories like those do more to express what the medium really can and can't do than terms like sci fi, horror, crime, or fantasy. While my approach doesn't say much about the movies in theaters, I think it's better for an overall understanding of what animation allows.

Explore Ecampus
Compare bachelor's degrees
Oregon State Ecampus delivers 25+ undergraduate degrees online.
Summer 2008 Issue
Featured Instructor: Kevin Ahern, Senior Instructor, Biochemistry and Biophysics
My Pleasant Surprise
I confess. I came to Ecampus kicking and screaming. It wasn't that I was opposed to the concept of distance education. In fact, I'm a strong advocate. Rather, my opposition, probably like that of many others, was that I was quite content with classroom teaching and I didn't want to take the time to develop and work within another system.
I was complacent – too complacent.
I knew that my courses were well-suited for distance delivery before I started: I have been videotaping my lectures from BB 350, 450, and 451 for seven years and I provide streaming video, streaming MP3 audio and video/audio podcasts for each. The main problem was that I don't do "the PowerPoint thing," preferring instead to organize all of my figures, outlines and notes in HTML. In a typical lecture, I click through hyperlinks to bring up figures and other content as needed from my class webpages.
The obstacles between me and Ecampus were part mental, part technical. Technically, I couldn't see a way to navigate my HTML-based class material to Blackboard. Mentally, I had to get over the hump of seeking such a solution. To my pleasant surprise, the conversion turned out to be much simpler than I expected, thanks to Victor Yee, Ecampus multimedia developer.
Victor is a wonderful resource who was flexible in helping me migrate my content to Blackboard and while keeping the HTML intact, too. Better yet, over the course of about a week, we developed a simple scheme that has worked almost without a hitch for the past three years.
As a result, Ecampus students in my courses get to see the exact images on their screens as when I videotaped the lectures. The link between these, I believe, has been instrumental in helping students watching technical descriptions of concepts thousands of miles away from OSU to perform at equal levels to their classroom counterparts on exams.
My courses are popular, so the Ecampus pay method provides a considerable amount of money to my department. That's not the most important reason to develop and deliver your courses online through Ecampus, or the most important benefit either. The stories of students taking my Ecampus courses energize and inspire me as an instructor and, I now know, are essential for my professional development.
I am a strong advocate of diversity in all aspects of life, and though we strive very hard to diversify the student body at OSU, it does not reflect the faces of the world outside of Oregon. That limitation does not exist in an Ecampus setting with its borderless classrooms. Here, everyone truly has equal access to an education that is the same as offered in the classroom, and is not limited by the need to live in Corvallis, by the fixed times of day courses are offered or by the need to pay for daycare for one's children. To paraphrase an old saying, "If Mohammed can't go to the classroom, the classroom should go to Mohammed." That is just what Ecampus provides.
Students often take my Ecampus courses to complete requirements for professional schools (medical, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine) in the time frame they need it. Some use Ecampus to complete that one last course necessary to graduate. Others are stay-at-home parents hoping to one day finish a degree and get a job when their kids are older. Still, others work full time and require the flexibility that on-demand videos offer.
The students are not the only beneficiaries of Ecampus. I am one. I learn from my students in every class I teach, but without Ecampus, these experiences are limited to the rather limited diversity of the OSU campus student body. Thanks to Ecampus, I get opportunities to interact with and learn from a diverse, talented and motivated group of people the world over. I never knew what I was missing!
Though I didn't realize its importance to me professionally when I began teaching through Ecampus, I've come to realize that thanks to it, I am better equipped to understand and serve students with a broader set of needs than I might ever have had in the classroom-limited world I lived in previously. I am very grateful to Ecampus for this lesson and for these experiences. I also encourage everyone to try it.

Today is one of my favorite days because it is September 14. It is my yearly day of personal reflection and thanksgiving to my "Big G God" for a new life. It ranks up there with the day I was born, got married, son was born and the day that I found a personal relationship with Jesus. So on this day, I can see that I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams. Eleven years ago this date, I was on an airplane to the unknown, as I flew to Tucson, Arizona to begin rehab in the Trauma and Abuse Program at Sierra Tucson (http://www.sierratucson.com). I was an emotional basket case. I re-felt the same fear that a terrified fourteen-year boy had felt when he was afraid people were going to "find out". Yet, I knew the awful secret, that I had kept tucked away in the darkest recesses of my being, was the reason that I was on that flight.
Undoubtedly, things were going to be different from now on; but I was horrified of what was ahead and what was going to happen to me in the process. But most of all, I feared what people would think about me. I was terrified that people would stop loving me; very few did. That was the exact fear I had experienced 45 years earlier. Now, suddenly the secret was out; everything had changed, while nothing had changed. In a real sense, the fear, pain, and remorse of the next several weeks that would stretch into the spring of the new year, would be nearly more than I would be able to bear.
Yet, all along the way God, in his mercy and love, strategically placed people who loved me, people who took my hand and walked with me, when I could not walk on my own. I have quite a list; they know who they are. During my rehab and the months that followed, I cried several lifetimes of tears. It was not easy; I thought I would never smile again, but I have. Today, I smile quite a bit in fact. The truth is, since the day Cathy put me on that Southwest plane, I have been, more and more, seeing life and myself with a brand new set of eyes. For most of my life, I had a "hole" in me; today I am able to see that I am "whole". That is why September 14, is such a notable day in my life. On this day I will pray for folks who are still carrying emotionally crippling secrets. God wants you to be blessed too. Remember, doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results is the very definition of insanity. The greatest regret I have is that it took me so long to choose sanity.

Determining the Severity and Likely Progression of Your RA By Carol Eustice Updated January 10, 2019 Medically reviewed by Grant Hughes, MD on August 07, 2017 Hero Images/Digital Vision/Getty Images More in Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis Causes & Risk Factors Living With Support & Coping Joint Pain Gout Ankylosing Spondylitis Diagnosis Symptoms Treatment Osteoarthritis More Arthritis Types & Related Conditions Psoriatic Arthritis View All Most newly-diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis patients have questions about how severe the disease will become and what they can expect for the future. They are anxious to know the prognosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis and what factors affect the prognosis. Patients ask: Will I face a mild or aggressive disease course?Will pain become unbearable?Is disability inevitable?Will I be able to work and take care of my family? Determining Prognosis Initially, the prognosis for rheumatoid arthritis is based on how advanced the disease was when the patient was first diagnosed. Another factor considered is the age of the patient when first diagnosed or at disease-onset (when the disease began). Lastly, but probably most important is how active the disease is currently. Is rheumatoid arthritis in a flare, a remission, or is it managed well with treatment? About 10 percent to 20 percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients have a sudden onset of the disease, followed by many years with no symptoms. This is considered a prolonged remission.Some rheumatoid arthritis patients have symptoms that come and go. Periods when there are few or no symptoms, which occur between flares, can last for months. This is referred to as intermittent symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.The majority of rheumatoid arthritis patients have the chronic, progressive type of rheumatoid arthritis that requires long-term medical management. Factors That Influence Prognosis Patients with the following factors are more likely to have a progressive and destructive form of rheumatoid arthritis and a severe disease course: Flares that are intense and last a long timeDiagnosed very young and have had active disease for yearsMarkers of inflammation are elevated on laboratory tests (elevated CRP and ESR)Significant joint damage already evident on x-rays when diagnosedPresence of rheumatoid nodulesTest positive for rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP Creating an Action Plan If you and your doctor have assessed the factors that influence your prognosis, the next thing to do is periodically reassess those factors. At certain intervals, you should have x-rays, laboratory tests, and an examination to see if your physical results have changed. If you find that your disease is very active, you are in a flare that seems unstoppable, lab results are worse, or x-ray evidence of joint damage is more pronounced, your treatment options should be reconsidered. You and your doctor may need a new plan of attack to slow or halt disease progression. Many of the new biologic treatments, often in combination with a traditional DMARD, have been successful for disease management. To assess the effect of rheumatoid arthritis on how well you perform usual daily activities, you can take the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). By taking the HAQ periodically, you can determine if function is worsening. Again, you and your doctor may need to review your treatment options. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

The stars of the show are pieces from the hoard of Bactria—a collection of more than 20,000 gold objects recovered from a mound in northern Afghanistan on the eve of the 1979 Soviet invasion, which plunged the country into more than two decades of bloody conflict. In1977 Soviet archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi had begun nosing around the2,000-year-old mound—tellingly called Gold Hill by the locals.
What Sarianidi and his colleagues found were the remains of a half-dozen wealthy nomads—mostly women—wearing gold sandals, gold jewelry, even dresses with gold thread. The artifacts displayed an astonishing combination of styles—Siberian-influenced animals, Chinese dragons, Greek goddesses. Among the artifacts were coins minted in Rome, Parthia, and India—testimony to the vibrant Silk Road of that civilization's day. The remarkable site promised to illuminate the lives of Central Asian nomads and their close connections to the great empires of that age. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan cut short further excavation, though, and the artifacts were put in storage. When the mujahideen edged toward Kabul in the late 1980s, the collection was quietly locked away in the presidential treasury.
For more than a decade rumors swirled concerning the gold's whereabouts. Did the Russians abscond with it? Did the warlords melt it down? It is now clear that Omar Khan Massoudi, director of Kabul'sNational Museum, and a few other Afghans risked their lives to protect the artifacts from the Taliban, who were intent on destroying images—and who, in 2001, succeeded in blowing up the famed Bamiyan Buddhas, towering stone sculptures carved into the mountainside by monks about 1,500 years ago.
Massoudi and his staff "are the real heroes," Sarianidi says, for saving the remains of a remarkable culture from oblivion.

What is Perlane? Perlane is another crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic-acid and an alternative to Juvederm, Restylane and Captique. Perlane contains 10,000 gel particles per cc/ml. The gel is injected with a very fine needle to enhance lip shape and create a plump and pouty look.
How does Perlane work and what are the advantages? It immediately lifts and adds volume to the areas being treated. The skin remains soft and natural to the touch as it does with most hyaluronic acid-based injectables. No skin test is required and there is no downtime.
Are Perlane results instantaneous? The result is immediate and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement. You can expect to experience some swelling after the procedure, so your lips should be larger than the desired end result. Swelling will resolve within two to three days and lips will retain a full and sculpted look.
Do I need more than one Perlane treatment? Results can generally be obtained with one treatment, however, touch up treatments may be desired to further enhance the look.
How long can I expect Perlane results to last? Treatment results differ for each person, however, you can expect results to last from 4 and up to 7 months.
What are some of the possible Perlane side effects? There are no reported allergic reactions. The most common side effects with any injection include possible bleeding, and tenderness, redness, or swelling. These side effects last, on average, 2 to 3 day.

Today we will talk about how and why CBD powder was created. The first use of the CBD oil was in Northern California, where they found that the use of the CBD-rich plants could be used for many things today. It is no secret today that the use of medical cannabis works and is effective. The CBD is the part of the plant that is nonintoxicating and has only medical uses. It is even used for people's pets today due to the highly useful medical benefits. It can treat a wide range of things from skin issues to PTSD.
The way the powder is formed is to first extract the CBD oils like before. Then the oil is slightly altered to produce a strand of small water-soluble molecules. It is then crystallized and dried with the use of solvents. From there it is made into a powder and used. The use of this powder is available in both capsules and the raw powder. This can be useful for the treatment of epilepsy and other conditions as well.
Between ten and fifteen percent of many young epileptics who receive CBD products experience a close to complete cessation of seizures. The majority improve with a decrease of seizures. That's only a small part of the list of conditions it can help with. The use of the powder is a great way for the more severe issues to be addressed. This is because of the higher bio-availability of the new way of processing the hemp plant into the powder. This will improve any reactions you hope to see, or are having due to use already.
One way we can be sure that these new powders work are to just go out on a limb and order it. The list of reviews is incredible with a huge success rate under its belt. The use of the other products such as gels and tablets work great as well. You just want to be sure you are receiving the new water soluble form of the CBD. It's a whole new creature for sure. When the CBD is turned to a powder, though, you can be sure that it is a water soluble version.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to try this amazing product and see the results it can produce. This is true for any and all uses of CBD products. For many years the application of the medical use of the plant has been up in the air. Now it's clear to many that it is real and it works; this is just a fact.
In conclusion, we hope you enjoyed this informational article about CBD powder and its many uses. We hope if you have any condition you would like to find more natural treatments for you will give this product a try. You have nothing to lose and all to gain when talking about going natural. We wish you well and good luck with your journey with CBD products.

Cannabis is often used as a medicine for humans who suffer from seizures or who have chronic medical conditions, but did you know that dogs can use it as well? More and more dog owners are turning to CBD because this cannabis derivatives is completely legal and non-psychoactive, treats arthritis, chronic pain conditions, and even help with anxiety. Some are using it as a cancer treatment too. Although it's important to be realistic about the impact that any drug could have on late stage cancers.
CBD is a cannabinoid that is found in both hemp and marijuana. It is one of, quite literally, dozens of such cannabinoids the difference between CBD and others, however, is that CBD has significant therapeutic effects, without getting you high. THC, for example, is highly psychoactive, and while it does also have anti-inflammatory effects, it also affects your thinking, response times and perception.
Marijuana contains around 15 percent THC, while hemp has a much lower level of THC is less than one third of a percent, which means that it won't intoxicate a person or a dog.
CBD binds with receptors in the brain and the nervous system, and also has an impact on the immune system. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and it also relaxes muscles and helps to prevent tumors and seizures. It also helps to increase a dog's appetites, and can reduce anxiety and aggression. It is a powerful substance, and it can be a boon for a pet that is suffering from a chronic condition. CBD can help with arthritis, soothe compromised immune systems, reduce stress responses, and help with digestive issues.
There are some trials ongoing to see if it can help with sprains, ligament strains and broken bones. Certainly, it is an interesting option for veterinarians to use as a post-op care aid, because it can help to reduce swelling and stiffness, allowing a dog to get active more quickly so that it doesn't have to worry about pain or side-effects.
CBD is a powerful medication, and it is something that both humans and dogs can benefit from. Since it is not psychoactive, it is not controlled in the way that marijuana is and this means that it can be bought over the counter in most parts of the world. It's important to read the labels carefully on any CBD Product before buying it, though, to make sure you know how strong it is. While it is unlikely that you would notice any ill-effects from taking too much, CBD is expensive, and if you use too little your dog won't benefit, and too much means 'dripping away' the oil for no extra benefit. Indeed, the strong taste means your dog may be reluctant to actually take it at all. Finding the right balance is important if you want the health benefits for your beloved family pet. Your vet may well be able to advise you on the right dose for the size of dog you have.

Things should have been nice and chummy at CPAC an hour ago. Dick Cheney strolled on stage to cheers and the inspirational tune of Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" and got began to present the "Defender Of The Constitution" award to Donald Rumsfeld. However, as the chants of "USA! USA!" died down, a voice screaming "War criminal!" could be heard. And then, as Cheney continued to talk up his former colleague, a shouting match began between supporters of Ron Paul and the rest of the convention hall.
The Paul supporters eventually walked out in the middle of Rumsfeld's speech as way of protest. {more}

It is essential that you do a thorough checking before you invest in a pre-construction condo. Once you plan to buy a condo, the first thing you need to check is the name of the developer. It is important that the condo is built by a reputed developer. You have to be confident that you are investing your hard-earned money for the best condo in the city. It is vital that you check the track record of the developer and understand about their previous work. There are certain things which you can expect from the real estate developers in the future. You can go to their website here to get a better insight on the different projects undertaken by them. www.forbes.com/sites/forbesrealestatecouncil/2017/11/16/what-to-expect-from-real-estate-tech-in-2018/#5d1dcb546aa4 describes the changing trend in real estate. If you plan to invest in a condo, getting an idea regarding the different floors and choosing the best one for your family is vital.
People normally prefer to take the higher floors because of its advantages. If you select a higher floor, then there will be less noise, and you can enjoy the outside view without any disturbance. In most condominiums, there are units available in the lower as well as the middle sections. When you select the lower floor, then there are possibilities of getting the view blocked because of the surroundings. In the higher floor, you will be able to see the road, and you can enjoy the beauty of nature. Noise disturbance is another issue when you prefer to live on a lower floor. The vehicle noise, the noise of children while playing, etc. can be a disturbance to you if you prefer to live silently.
The debate of higher Vs. Lower floor changes according to each project. Some projects can give you breathtaking view of lakes or the skyscrapers while some other units can offer you a great urban view. However, as per figures, people who selected the lake view are more than those who preferred an urban view. If you want to make a good investment, then you need to check about the price the developers are charging for each floor, the quality of the outside view and what you expect as rent from your renters. The premium you need to pay for the condo differs according to the unit you select.
Probably the only negative point which can affect those who are living on the highest floor is getting the elevator on time. Sometimes you will have to wait for the elevator for a long time which can affect your timetable. So before choosing the highest floor, you may want to visit other condos build by the same developer and check how the elevator work there. Some reputed developers give the best elevator facilities in the projects they take up.
You might not want to compromise with the view you can see from the condo. So, make sure that you check with the developers about any other buildings that can come near your unit and block your view. If the developers inform you about the new buildings, then it will be a good idea to search for another unit which can give you the view. If you inform the developers about the issue you are going to face when the new projects come up and block the view, they will be able to provide you with another unit in the same floor where you can enjoy the uninterrupted view.

We recently took our first family vacation…two babies, four airplanes, and two 4-hour drives. Seems like a lot of effort for 5 nights away. But so worth it. You see, we have been living with family for the last year, while in the process of buying our first home. And though we are beyond blessed to be so fortunate for family, we needed a little escape to be our own little family for a short while.
We chose Tucson, Arizona because we wanted to get as far south as we could while remaining in the US, and with being able to have easy, short flights. Also, we wanted to hike! The rain here in little Gold Beach had been horrendous the week+ before our vacation…we got a whopping 8″ in one day! That much rain keeps us indoors, and this family is meant for being outside and being active.
It's funny because, I have had numerous people comment on our definition of "vacation".
"You should have lounged by the pool all day."
"Did you get any rest while you were there?"
Here's the thing: We have two children, both under 3 years old. That alone means it is nearly impossible to simply relax all day, even if we wanted to. Also, Javin and I first got together because of our love for running, and almost every "vacation" we have ever taken has involved some sort of outdoor adventure. We have built our family around being active and healthy and I intend for things to stay that way.
To me, exercise is stress-relieving. Add that to being out in fresh air, and in a new environment, with my family, and nothing can stop me! I become Super Girl! THAT created a perfect vacation.
The kids did so great on this trip that we have decided to continue to chose future vacations based on nearby hikes. I suppose the rainy, cold weather has me daydreaming, because I decided to make a bucket-list of hikes to do. Because I know there are amazing hikes worldwide, I decided to narrow this list down to only the Pacific Northwest. (makes it more attainable)
- Wild Rogue Wilderness. This is an obvious choice, since it's in our backyard. Growing up on the Rogue, I am embarrassed to say I have never hiked this trail.
- Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Central Washington
- Bits and pieces of the Pacific Crest Trail
- Yosemite Falls, Taft Point, and Sentinal Dome. All near/intertwining each other.
- Sierra Butte fire lookout.
- Columbia Gorge trails…there are many.
This is just a short list. Also, many of the big name trails in Oregon we have already done. Sky Lakes Wilderness is gorgeous, as is Smith Rocks, and the coastal trails along southern Oregon.
Now…when to plan for our next get away?!

Add a lemony flavor without the acidity of lemon juice by cooking with lemon verbena. Lemon verbena substitutes well in your recipes for lemon zest, lemongrass and lemon balm. Its citrusy scent will liven the air in your kitchen as you cook with it. Drying your leaves before use extends their shelf life. As with any edibles from your garden, be sure to use only leaves from lemon verbena plants that have not been treated with herbicides or pesticides.
Rinse and pat dry fresh lemon verbena leaves.
Lay on a parchment paper lined baking pan in a single layer and place in your oven at the lowest possible setting with the door cracked for two to three hours or until completely dried.
Crush the dried lemon verbena between your hands to crumble or finely chop it before adding to your recipes.
Substitute crushed or chopped lemon verbena for an equal amount of lemon zest, lemon balm or lemongrass in any recipe.
Push five or six whole, dried lemon verbena leaves into one cup of sugar in a tightly sealed container, and leave for one week to make a lemony flavored sugar. Use this sugar for topping fruit salads or for cookies, cakes or ice creams.
Put one to two whole, dried or fresh leaves in the liquid for steaming or poaching fish, shellfish and poultry. Remove the leaves from the liquid before serving.
Prepare lemon verbena tea or add a lemony flavor to any other type of tea by steeping two fresh or dried whole leaves of lemon verbena in hot water with your other tea ingredients. Strain the tea to separate out the leaves before drinking.
Add one to two teaspoons of chopped or crushed leaves during cooking to fruit, citrus, dairy, fish or poultry dishes when you want to infuse a lemon flavor without the sour taste of lemon juice.

Published at Tuesday, March 05th, 2019 - 12:16:07 PM. Bedroom. By Geraldina Sauer.
This bedroom has a décor based on strong contrasts. The ceiling is white and so are the floors. The bed has a black frame with black curtains that feature a white trim. The same combination can be seen throughout the room, in the case of the windows, wall decorations, furniture and even the bedding. It's an interesting concept, very simple and yet very bold and striking.
This master bedroom is also quite simple in terms of interior décor. The room is slightly dark and this, in combination with the warm, earthy colors chosen for the décor, result in a very relaxing and cozy atmosphere. The simplicity of the lines, the beauty of the details and the rich textures all contribute to an overall simple and sophisticated look.

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a plant that features succulent leaves and a distinctively red stem. Most commonly thought of as an invasive weed, the plant is becoming more popular with home gardeners who enjoy growing it for its edible qualities. High in fatty acids and vitamin C, according to an article published by The Washington Post, young purslane plants can be eaten in a salad or as cooked greens.
Purslane grows in any type of soil, from poor rocky soil to rich, loamy garden soil, according to information published by the University of Illinois. There is no need to amend poor soil to increase the nutrient levels. These plants thrive even in soil with limited organic materials.
Purslane grows from seed, and it re-seeds itself very readily. To sow the seeds, scatter them on finely textured soil. This helps them stay near the surface, as they will not germinate if they are buried more than 1/2 inch below the soil. Purslane seeds take about two weeks to germinate, and they grow quicker in warm soil. Sow in June if the weather is consistently warm (around 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit). Lightly water after sowing.
Purslane is highly drought-tolerant. Its succulent leaves and stems allow the plant to survive for long periods of time without water. Still, it grows best if watered once a week during the summer if there is no rainfall.
Purslane grows best in full sunlight, but it also grows in partial shade. Morning sun exposure followed by dappled afternoon shade is best.
Purslane is ready for consumption about six weeks after growth. The young leaves and the tips of the stems are the most desirable because they have a taste similar to that of spinach, notes the University of Illinois. Wash them well, then toss them into your salad or stir-fry them. However, don't overcook them, or they will become soggy.

Back in the 1930's when my grandfather took classes in silver-smithing so that he could replace a lost cufflink given to him by my grandmother, he never dreamed he was starting a family tradition. As I sit in my studio today in the Berkshires creating my silver belt buckles and designs, I credit his tutelage and support for my ability to follow in his footsteps.
It all started for me, after my freshman year in college at Denison University. My grandfather, award winning silversmith Frederick Colby, kindly and generously gave me the opportunity to spend time with him in his basement studio in suburban Detroit. I learned some basic techniques and quickly realized that this was something that I was keen to pursue. For the next few summers, along with apprenticing for my grandfather, I took classes in Detroit and Florence, Italy and eventually found my way to Santa Fe, New Mexico where I resided and worked in silver for over a decade.
My original designs are simple and classic and I am inspired by my surroundings and life's journeys. While living in Santa Fe, my husband introduced me to fly fishing, which inspired me to create a line of belt buckles and silver products that feature trout. I now reside in Massachusetts and I am drawn to the sea. Beach combing the ragged coastline is one of my favorite pastimes and this is where my Island Buckle designs originated. As you can probably imagine the fishing here has been rather inspiring as well. There are so many more designs to come!
As my hands embrace the tools that have been passed through the generations of my family, I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to carry on a family tradition that all started with a lost cufflink.

A notable book cover design
A few weeks ago we asked readers for comments on their favourite covers. This one is notable not so much for its pictures as for its embossing. The cover is definitely of the "touchy-feely" variety, and as you run your fingers over the "stone" areas the sensation is like you are touching the stone texture. The titles are also stamped into the the thick board, making it look and feel like it has been engraved. Classy.
More posts about worthy book covers will be made from time to time.

Hey guys! Alongside my Game of Thrones rewatch which you can find the first post of here, I'm going to be doing a Teen Wolf rewatch, too! I want to do these types of post for a lot of TV shows but so that my blog isn't all over the place I will be sticking to these two for now! Please let me know in the comments below if there are any shows you'd be interested in me reviewing.
However! I'm going to mix up the layout of these posts as I feel it was a bit too wishy-washy. I'm going to break it down into five categories:
- A moment where I felt a main character was developed.
- The best villain moment in the episode.
- The most visually appealing moment in the episode.
- A moment that made me feel something.
- A moment that developed a relationship.
This may be subject to change but I think it will give me a firmer layout. So, without further ado: let's go.
Overall: Scott, a normal teenage boy is bitten by a werewolf and gains his own abilities from the bite.
- Scott's transformation into a wolf / Development moment.
For someone who has been watching the show since the beginning, it's amazing to me to see how much the characters have developed over the years. I love the introduction into Scott McCall; a seemingly normal teenager who has asthma and is a bit of a lone wolf, you might say. ( Too cheesy? Yeah. ) The entire episode is about him learning about his new identity as a werewolf and learning how to control it. But the moment that I loved the most was at the end of the episode when he finally breaks into full wolf mode. You can see how out of control he is and I think it's one of the defining moments in the series. It was the moment in the series where I decided that I wanted to keep watching purely from how well acted it was by the amazing Tyler Posey.
2. The introduction of the Argents / Villainous moment.
Even though I would now never describe Chris Argent as a villain, from the initial interaction we see with him, you know that he is certainly going to be a character that will create conflict between the others. The reveal that Chris (the hunter that shoots at Scott moments after his transformation) is Scott's girlfriend's father was so clever and very nicely done by J.R Bourne. That smirk just lets you know that he's up to no good even if he doesn't even know that Scott is a werewolf yet which makes it all the more brilliant. Chris is literally warning him because he knows that he has an interest in his daughter which is just hilarious to me.
3. Stiles saving Scott / Visual moment.
Even though this is a moment that you would skip past, I thought it was the one that spoke volumes in terms of their friendship purely from how it was filmed. In the screenshot below, you see Scott curled in on himself. He's just shifted and is alone and vulnerable, surrounded by nothing but trees and an empty road which he's got to walk down to get home. But then, the Jeep creeps up into sight and Stiles is there. This is a recurring theme within their friendship that no matter when Scott is alone and scared, he's always got Stiles who is there for him.
4. Scott attacks Stiles / Emotional moment.
Juxtaposed to the previous moment, this was another defining scene in the series to show just how deep their friendship truly lies. Scott is constantly trying to work out his powers, what he is capable of doing and how he can control them. However, like most people in normal life, the brunt of this is taken out on the people that are closest to you. Stiles has been researching all about his abilities to try and help him but Scott is deadset on living a normal life and dating the new girl, Allison. Therefore, he gets incredibly angry with Stiles' ADHD-induced excitement and pins him against the wall. Stiles' hurt look says enough.
5. Lydia bating Jackson / Development moment for a relationship.
While it would be all too easy to talk about Stiles and Scott again or Scott and Allison; I think this moment is one of the sneakiest hidden moments that actually gives us a great insight into what their relationship is like. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it but accurately portrayed by Holland Roden. We see that she is cheering on Scott purely to bate Jackson as when she catches his eye, she gives him this look. I love it because you can see how they challenge one another and how Lydia gets off on him being jealous. This is a recurring theme within their relationship that we see throughout this first series.
So, there you have it! I hope you guys enjoyed this – I certainly enjoyed writing it. Like I said earlier, please let me know if there's any other TV shows you'd be interested in me doing and I'll find another place to put them ( even if I post two on the same day, perhaps?) Let me know!
Morgie out.
P.S. I've recently discovered a site called Shirtcity where you can design and personalise a bunch of products like t-shirts, aprons, pillows, jumpers, mugs etc. They have preset designs already there and if you like Teen Wolf, they have lots of wolfy designs! Check it out by clicking the logo below. If you guys do decide to buy anything, I will receive a commission but I want to assure my readers that I only promote brands/businesses that I 100% support and like myself. Otherwise, what's the point?

Activists fighting the controversial Pilot Knob development deal have added a new argument to their lawsuit: The development, also known as Easton Park, never should have qualified for millions of dollars in fee waivers in the first place.
The amended filing, made Friday in Travis County District Court, claims the Pilot Knob development has only half the affordable housing units that it needs to qualify for water and wastewater fee waivers — potentially worth $81 million over 20 to 30 years.
Under state law, the lawsuit alleges, cities can provide the fee waivers for developments only if they meet certain federal requirements, including a 20 percent affordable housing mandate. Only 10 percent of the 6,500 single-family homes and 1,500 multifamily units planned at Pilot Knob would be permanently affordable.
"I'm a friend of the water and the wastewater utility. They need the money, it's meant to go to them," said Brian Rodgers, the activist who is leading the suit.
A city spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
In December, the City Council approved the zoning ordinance for Easton Park — negotiated by aides for Mayor Steve Adler and Council Member Delia Garza, as well as city housing staffers — that exempted the developer from paying a slate of city fees that would typically help pay for some of the cost of growth, such as expanded water infrastructure and staffers reviewing development.
Instead, developer Brookfield Residential would put an amount of money equal to those fees toward housing that was permanently affordable, not just on first sale. Adler said the deal was a creative way to guard against gentrification by ensuring homes remain in the hands of low-income families.
Still, diverting money that would otherwise go to Austin Water would likely require the utility to raise its rates, impacting all utility customers.
This new argument comes in addition to the initial claim of the lawsuit, filed in February, that the city violated the state's Open Meetings Act by failing to properly notify the entire council and the public of the price tag for these fee waivers.
