We've been working on multiple projects lately that are dependent on Historic Renovation Tax Credits (HTC) to help cover the increased cost of historically compatible renovations. Currently, there is a federal tax credit, and Georgia is one of the states that also offers a state tax credit. Combining state and federal credits becomes a powerful financial tool to help make difficult projects possible. Through our experience with HTC's over the years – and some recent changes – we've developed some thoughts on how the system could be adjusted to work for projects that have different scales and available resources.
Urban Renewal
Cultivating Your Farm
We spend a lot of time working with the Incremental Development Alliance training folks to be small developers. One of our many goals is to help build community wealth through infill housing at a scale compatible with traditional neighborhoods, also known as Missing Middle Housing. This is housing that fits within a single-family neighborhood, but with more units than a single family home. This might be a home with an accessory dwelling unit, a duplex, fourplex, maybe even a six or eight plex.
We hear that the City of Duluth is enjoying the ongoing revitalization of their historic downtown, which includes KWA's work at Parsons Alley (recent recipient of a 2017 ULI Development of Excellence Award and CNU Charter Award). Like a lot of Atlanta suburbs, Duluth is experiencing rapid growth. The City recognized a need to grow and strengthen their core downtown to be an amenity for residents and to establish Duluth as a Place with its own identity – not just another suburb of Atlanta.

Placemaking & the Project for Public Spaces
It's no secret that we at Kronberg Wall are big on placemaking. We strive to create designs that are conscious of their context and respond sensitively to their surroundings. We also believe that great places, while largely defined by their buildings, are not solely the result of good architecture. Great public places, ones that encourage interactions between people as well as between people and their environment, happen when a collection of disciplines work together. With that being said, it is important to note that 'bad architecture,' meaning buildings that are not context-sensitive, can be a huge impediment to placemaking, killing any potential a site might have.
Build a Better Burb Reflections
I had the privilege to sit in at CNU's recent Sprawl Retrofit Council in Miami. Sprawl retrofit isn't something that KWA typically gravitates towards, but CNU is expanding its focus on this important topic, and we are proud to be part of that effort.
The Peoples Health New Orleans Jazz Market was featured on the cover of the March-April issue of Retrofit Magazine! The issue features a great article by Retrofit staff writer Christina Koch that describes many of the challenges faced and overcome over the course of the project. As a firm with strong New Orleans roots, we at KWA are very proud of our role in making the Jazz Market a reality. Read more
KWA Wins Southface Fulcrum Award!
We're happy to announce that KWA was recently selected as a recipient of a 2016 Fulcrum Award from Atlanta-based environmental advocacy and consultant group Southface! The Iberville Offsites in New Orleans were identified as a project that promotes Southface's vision of a regenerative economy, responsible resource use, social equity and a healthy built environment for all.

Urban redevelopment is our bread and butter at KWA, and we've come to understand that attempting to renovate a building built 50-100 years ago is full of challenges. Zoning requirements based on suburban development – but applied to urban areas as well – place tough restrictions and requirements on land use, parking requirements, and setbacks. Financing small mixed-use projects can be challenging even to those with deep pockets due to unanticipated obstacles. And if you manage to make it through all those hoops, our current building codes throw up a range of additional hurdles. We often see folks manage to overcome a range of challenges only to get bogged down in figuring out how to meet new building code requirements without breaking their budget. As we've navigated these obstacles ourselves we've developed a clear understanding of what to expect and how to best get through or around a lot of these issues. We recently put together a roadmap to help folks work through the code hurdles for a typical, two-story main street type building. Follow the link below to find the downloadable presentation file.
Advice for Mayors
We were given the amazing chance to present to three small town mayors this week courtesy of the Georgia Conservancy. These mayors each are interested in what they can do to make their respective towns thriving, vibrant places.
Popcorn Time: Placemaking 101
We spend a lot of time talking about the specifics of placemaking – parking regulations, zoning ordinances, code clauses – but these are all pieces of a bigger picture. We find that before diving into the details, it is critical to understand the macro concepts behind placemaking. If you're interested in creating great urban places, grab some popcorn (or a turkey sandwich) and take a look the videos below, the first of which are from our friends at Strong Towns, who do an excellent job of summing up these big ideas behind successful placemaking endeavors.
Big Picture Zoning Thoughts
The City of Atlanta has engaged consultants to tackle a re-writing of our zoning ordinance. This is a highly political process for any city. Most current zoning ordinances are a combination of good intentions producing bad outcomes for most places, and Atlanta's ordinance is no exception. It is important to think about positive examples of places that we love, and work backwards to allow those places to be legally built without special hurdles. It is also important to be aware that there are a range of these seemingly innocent under the hood items that result in bad outcomes for our neighborhoods. In an effort of transparency and sharing information, we've put together this blog post to outline our current thinking on a range of issues. This will be somewhat policy heavy, so you've been warned.
ICYMI: Eric Kronberg Interview in Curbed Atlanta
In a profile published last week by Curbed Atlanta, KWA's Eric Kronberg discussed where he got his start as a designer, his thoughts on the creation of enjoyable urban spaces, and how he sees Atlanta's urban evolution. Great read for anyone concerned about Atlanta's design future, adaptive reuse architecture, or the development of walkable, bikeable, affordable and enjoyable urban spaces. You can find the article on the Curbed Atlanta site here.
Small builder/developer bootcamp
I've been spending a lot of time mulling on both the small developer/builder Facebook group and the upcoming small builder/developer bootcamp coming to Atlanta. Part of the conundrum I have been trying to get my head around is this: what is a reasonable combination of experience, scale, and location that fits a small developer? We work primarily in Atlanta, with most of our clients being seasoned developers. We tackle really messy, hard projects, and we see countless ways that a newbie can get put through the buzzsaw, and quickly. However, we are seeing that there are folks involved in the industry – architects that design these projects, residential and commercial property brokers, and builders – that have experience with some, but not all, of the pieces needed to do their own deal.
LISTEN: Eric Kronberg Interviewed on Atlanta's Business
Over the weekend Eric Kronberg sat down with Jeff Davis, host of 1160 AM's Atlanta's Business, to discuss how parking regulations effect endeavors in placemaking by making it more difficult to foster walkability, bikeability, and affordability. For those who didn't hear the original broadcast, the interview is available here.
Read: Richard Willson, "Case against Minimum Parking Requirements"
In a recent post, we referenced Richard Willson's book Parking Reform Made Easy, specifically the second chapter, "Case against Minimum Parking Requirements." We have yet to find a more complete summary of the detrimental effects of legally-mandated parking, an issue that we and many other architects and planners believe is central to the pursuit of creating more enjoyable and sustainable urban environments. Willson and Island Press were kind enough to grant us permission to share this chapter, in the hopes that access to these ideas might increase understanding of how parking requirements undermine nearly every positive aspect of urban space. We encourage you to read Willson's book in its entirety; it can be found at http://www.islandpress.org/parking-reform-made-easy.

The Pope Agrees: Parking is Killing our Cities
Reconfiguring a dormant four-way stop to create active public space
We talk about parking a lot, which is a bit weird for architects. Most visitors to this blog would expect to find posts about awesome curtain wall design, or maybe some cool cantilevered something or other. If we were focused on bright, shiny objects, that might make sense; however, we care more about helping to strengthen communities and neighborhoods—and intelligent parking is key to a functional community. Honestly, we don't see a lot of communities that suffer from a lack of abundance of bright, shiny objects. What we do notice is a range of old and underutilized buildings, crappy parking lots, poor streetscape design resulting from past road widenings, and bad infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. We respond by designing resourceful, often gritty buildings that engage the street and add to the value of the community. We view each project as a chance to repair the damaged link between people and the urban environment they build for themselves.
First Steps in Commercial Redevelopment:
Baseline Site Study
When meeting with new clients, we are often asked what the first step is in our design process. We are typically called on to investigate repurposing old buildings in urban environments. For the vast majority of these projects, our initial task is a baseline site study. This study is an examination of a site to determine several key items: how much space is required for streetscape (sidewalks, street trees, street furniture), how much parking can fit, and how the building engages the site and street.
First Steps in Commercial Redevelopment:
Where We Start
We specialize in intown redevelopment. That means that we get called almost daily to help figure out how to turn a blighted property into something amazing – something that will provide value for the developer, the community, and the future occupants.
PLACEMAKING v. PARKING (PART 2)
As an office based in Atlanta, we've often daydreamed about what we could build, if only we weren't so preoccupied with parking requirements. Recently, work in New Orleans gave us the opportunity, to reflect on the nature of parking in Atlanta. The New Orleans Jazz Market is the conversion of an historic 11,000 SF urban market into a purpose-built Jazz performance hall. Originally built in 1849 as a market, the building went through a major renovation at the turn of the last century. It was eventually sold to private owners after World War II, who proceeded to overhaul the facades in a gauche 1960s style. In 2013, when we were brought on to convert the building. It stood as an empty, beaten down, blighted building, most recently serving as a retail store. The newly renovated building now serves as a cultural anchor for the neighborhood.

PLACEMAKING v. PARKING (PART 1)
There are significant differences in the built environment of our neighborhoods planned before World War II, and those developed after. Before the war, and the Great Depression, neighborhoods were designed to focus on walkability — sidewalks, smaller streets, and on-street parking were the norm. After the war, planners were confronted with the twin challenges of the increasingly prevalent automobile, and new zoning ordinances which eschewed earlier priorities and had a significant negative impact on the quality of walkable communities. Today, there has been a shift in desires and priorities towards redeveloping more historic neighborhoods. Still, zoning requirements have a tremendous impact on the viability and adaptability of these neighborhoods.
Current zoning takes the approach of requiring each landowner to provide enough parking within their parcel to satisfy the parking needs of any buildings on that land. Every parcel must be self-sufficient. Zoning mandated parking requirements, often poorly conceived, are like a cancer in otherwise healthy neighborhoods. Parking occupies a significant amount of space, increases development costs, and kills walkability by forcing buildings, separated by parking lots, to be spread across greater areas. The more distance between important neighborhood destinations, the less walkable the neighborhood becomes. This trend forces more people to drive, setting in motion the self-sustaining cycle of off street parking.
We are proud to present the Peoples Health New Orleans Jazz Market.

story by Jennifer Odell – offBEAT magazine
Past a two-story wall of windows, up a wide set of wooden stairs, and set back from the concert stage at Irvin Mayfield's newly christened New Orleans Jazz Market sits a room the trumpet player identifies as his office. There's no desk in this office. No computer, no phone and no trumpet—just two places to sit and a chessboard. This is fitting enough, given the amount of strategizing that went into transforming an old Gator's discount store into what Mayfield hopes will become a shining new beacon for jazz…

How does a neighborhood node like Candler Park manage to function with such a greatly reduced amount of parking below the legal requirements? How does the world not end there from a daily influx of cars? Several reasons. First, by being compact and situated in the middle of the neighborhood, it is easily walkable and bikable to many who live in the surrounding blocks. Good sidewalk connectivity is part of this. This reduces the amount of people that have to drive to the location. There is also the ability to park once and visit multiple stores. If our family chooses to drive instead of walk, we often park, have dinner, walk next door for a cup of hot chocolate for one daughter, and across the street for an ice cream cone for the other daughter. While only using one parking space.
[Check out PART 1 in this series.]
As a firm that solves redevelopment challenges on a daily basis, we have had time to reflect on one of the repeated biggest redevelopment hurdles we face in Atlanta- on site parking requirements. What's the big deal with requiring parking you may ask? Everything. Our goal for Atlanta is to have it be chock full of thriving, walkable, car-optional neighborhoods ideally connected by some form of transit- bike, light rail, MARTA, or bus. The single biggest roadblock we encounter when aiming to make this happen is a very simple and insidious zoning requirement that says every site should provide adequate parking for its use on its own property. Here is the thing, if you want to have a vibrant, walkable neighborhood center, it needs to have significantly less parking provided than zoning currently requires, there has to be some form of shared parking, and in some places, that shared parking should have some cost based upon the market demand.
PRESERVATION MATTERS #MyNojoIs
You know that an architecture trend is starting when Rem Koolhaas is talking about it. He is turning away from cities now and focusing on preservation and the countryside, even though our focus is not the countryside just yet, we couldn't agree more with Mr. Koolhaas about Preservation and it seems like Architectural Record is on the same boat, their February 2015 issue was all about renovation, restoration and adaptation.
Our New Orleans Jazz Market, home of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) has been honored with a 2015 Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation by the Louisiana Landmarks Society that recognizes projects completed in Orleans Parish (outside of the French Quarter) that represent outstanding examples of restoration or rehabilitation of historic buildings.
Happy Jazzy Holidays from Kronberg Wall
images by brandt photography
We have had a wonderful year at Kronberg Wall and we would like to share the joy. The New Orleans Jazz Market, home of New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) is opening in January. We are proud to be part of this project because it embodies the core principles of our firm, an adaptive reuse project in an urban infill site that is empowering people and translating New Orleans culture into design, but we did not do it alone and we would like give a shout out to our team of consultants.
We are truly honored to be the recipients of the National Trust/ HUD Secretary's Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation with Redmellon for our efforts restoring 46 blighted homes in New Orleans' Treme and 7th Ward neighborhoods. This project provides low-income housing for historically under-served areas of the city, creating innovative solutions for sensible rehabilitation and social change.
We believe in cities and we believe in neighborhoods that preserve their past and maintain their culture. New Orleans is at the stage of development where a conscious urban infill approach is essential in both preserving and promoting its neighborhood cultures. More than 200,000 residents have returned to the city after Katrina and have struggled with re-establishing their communities. Nonetheless, New Orleans is a resilient city. Architectural Record named New Orleans as one of their In-Demand Cities in their October issue.

We have references to the history of the car you could see on the Wikipedia. A car (or vehicle) is a rolled automobile utilized for transport. Many interpretations of car state they run largely on roadways, seat one to eight individuals, have four tires, and mostly transportation individuals as opposed to products. Cars and trucks entered worldwide use during the 20th century, and established economies depend upon them. The year 1886 is considered as the birth year of the modern car, when German innovator Karl Benz developed his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars and trucks did not end up being widely offered up until the very early 20th century. One of the very first cars and trucks that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Version T, an American car made by the Ford Motor Business. Autos were quickly adopted in the United States, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, yet took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and various other parts of the globe.|A car (or car) is a rolled electric motor automobile utilized for transportation.

Why Find A Spring?
we would like to see our spring from italy shown on your website to help out our friends and the whole lot of people who want to get spring water
Daniel there is a company here is WA state that says they deliver Spring Water from Mt. Rainier, will this be as good or not. I don't know how to find the time to go get spring water myself…
Keep me informed on current and new developments related to environmental health and methods to enhance health living.
Hello can someone help me ..i cant find the drinking springs.. all i see in these website is hotsrings ..im in Nothern california…can someone give me some leads plz …thanks god bless
Where do you get that giant glass water bottle?
The large glass bottles are called carboys.
You can find them at any home brewing store or buy them on line. They also have new PET plastic carboys that do not give the water a plastic taste.
On your site you have Cherry Knoll Spring in Amherst, Ohio how do I know if it is safe. How do you test it?
Diane: If it's a facility like the one in Chardon, OH (Deep Springs Trout Club) they have a leaflet showing the pH and when it was last tested as well as the history of the site. They sell the water for .30/per gallon but it's worth it to me. If it's not a facility just buy a pH test kit and test it yourself. Remember the higher the pH level the better it is for you because it contains the minerals we lack. Also, research the place before you go. Good Luck!!
Where is the closest spring to me 10952 monsey NY?
Why is spring water any different from groundwater that is pumped from a well? Would anywhere that groundwater naturally flows to the surface be defined as a spring? (You should probably add a definition of spring on your website.) If so, then all streams, lakes and wetlands that derive water from groundwater are springs?
Your video suggests that because spring water is derived from aquifers that it does not contain contaminants and is safer than water provided by municipalities. However, your disclaimer advocates testing spring water before consumption suggesting that spring water can be harmful (perhaps from human caused contamination or natural toxins/pathogens). Which is it?
Viktor Schauberger's book Water Wizard is an excellent resource to learn about the different energetic properties of water, and why natural spring water is the best for human health. Water makes up 80% of the human body, it should be the best possible!
your site is a mystery. i can't get a list of the springs in new york state. just a map with dots on it. any ideas how to get a list? thanks
i would like to know how long the water will stay fresh out of the fridge. what i mean is, we get water from the spring pump at eleven mile canyon when we camp there. we usually get two or three gallons at a time. i would love to get one of those big jugs you show in the video (10 gallon?) but it would never fit in my fridge. would i be able to keep it in those jugs, out of the fridge, for a while? and just fill a gallon jug in the fridge off of the big one?
I am happy to have found your site and I hope it will lead me to a good quality source. There is a source not far from me in Tuxedo, NY which was tested last year and found positive for chloroform and negative for e.Coli. What does this indicate to you? Are there other tests generally recommended, as in pesticide panel, metals, etc…? Thank you!
Recommeneded websites
[…]Here are some of the sites we recommend for our visitors[…]…
I believe that video is overly enthusiastic on the sourcing and purity of spring water. Springs are dependent on ground water. Why else would they go dry sometimes? Flowing wells – Artesian – drilled into rock are dependent on aquifers may or may not have pollutants (check out fracking). True springs may also, being dependent on rain or snow melt. be polluted. The level of pollution, if any, is related to the distance from the source where the water seeped in to the ground and the exit point of the water. The further from the source the better chance that pollutants are filtered from the water. But as in life, there are no guarantees. It would be best to have your spring water checked for purity by your county health dept. We have a couple near us that have been shut down by our county health dept. for high levels on nitrates that leached into them from nearby corn fields.
I have gotten my water from a spring on my land for the past 37 years…and it's the best tasting/tasteless? water I ever had.
I currently live in the San Juan Islands in Washington State. Have any springs been reported here I'm wondering? Thanks for your time. Eileen
We have a couple of springs around where I live, but there is a metal pipe which the water comes out of, will that metal make the water not safe to drink? Also do I have to worry about bacteria, or filtering/boiling the water? Thank you for any info.
I live in a place where lots of chemicals are used on lots of farms. How do I know the chemicals have not leaked into the spring?
The video is marked private and off so I cannot find a Spring near me, in the mountains of Az.
If you go to the map and click on United States and then AZ, a list of springs will pop up in that area. Use the zoom feature on the bottom of the page to better see each pin. Happy Spring Hunting!
can't view video, says "This video is private. "
Hey found a spring
What next?
It has medicinal properties
It's sealed up now
Can I get it unsealed?
Video is private?
We are currently looking into why this video is coming up as unavailable, thank you for your patience and we hope to have this issue resolved soon 🙂 -Ashley and The Find A Spring Crew
Do you have a website were i can get the same or similar carboy? Also how can i test the spring water on my own? Thank you 🙂
Hi Kristen, You can get glass carboys at your local brewery or kitchen shops. Amazon also sells them. SurThrival.com sells TDS meters that will give you Total dissolved solids. http://www.surthrival.com/gear/spring-water-tds-meter.html
Thank you all for your input…. There are 2 springs within 30 miles of me…. It will be fun…. on my hunt to locate them…. but more importantly it will be interesting to see and feel the difference after starting to drink this living water … Again…. Thank you all! I will be sure to let you know in a few weeks or so……..
I am so grateful for this site! I live in Montreal, Canada and I can't thank you all enough for your hard work. I'm going hunting for spring water this weekend! A million times thank you!
Looking for a spring in Victoria, BC as well as in PEI.
The Devil's Punch Bowl in PEI has a spring but I can't find any information on it.
Thank you for you website!
Well isn't that clever! You build a website encouraging people to collect water from local springs, then encourage them to have it tested first, and what a coincidence! Your parent company SurThrival.com just happens to sell spring water testing kits. Wow. Talk about creating a market. Oh by the way, I live in Florida. There is not a spring in this state that isn't either privately or commerically owned or run by the park system. No way would you be able to walk up with a jar and collect it and take it home, without paying a park entrance fee of $12. And if it's not it a park, it's probably already owned by Nestle.
Thank you for visiting FindASpring. We encourage the testing of the water as we are unable to verify the quality and/or safety of each spring as they are user submitted. A TDS meter is a very basic testing device and Surthrival offers it as a mere convenience as Surthrival is a lifestyle and many in our culture enjoy gathering spring water. There are many TDS meters on the web for purchase if procuring one from Surthrival doesn't suit. Surthrival has paid for the entire build, design and ongoing maintenance of FindASpring and kept it 100% free for everyone to use based on passion and belief not for financial gain as we can assure you that selling some TDS meters and Water bottles could not begin to cover the expense. Florida has been a difficult place for many to find springs. Perhaps you could make the $12.00 fee worth it by filling 5 or more large carboys? We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best on your journey to FindASpring.
Hey we have a natural spring lake, it used to be a rock quarry back in the 1980's and one day they were drilling and they hit 17 different natural spring. It filled up so fast that they didn't have time to get any of they're equipment out. So we have bulldozers, tractors, and all types of stuff in the bottom. I was wondering how can I market my water and sell it? I want to also donate to other people that don't have water. How can I do this?
You say that spring water is unpolluted because it has been in underground aquifers since before humans started polluting. You think fracking has never polluted an aquifer? I hope you guys can own up to what you are doing when people blame you for getting sick. Can you really guarantee that every spring on this list is safe to drink? I didn't think so.
Please read our disclaimer. We cannot guarantee the safety/quality and are very clear that we unfortunately can't. We're simply offering a user populated database of both cold and hot springs and are explicit in letting people know they must take the steps to find out if any source is safe. It is our deep hope that with awareness people will ignite more protection of these precious resources.
Are there any natural springs in Joliet, IL?
Thank you!
If people have had the water from a spring tested, could it not be made public so that others would not have the same expense?
You know, back in the 70s there was a spring located in clifton park. But within 3-6mos. it became contaminated with asbestos! How and why did that happen? Well, why else are we left to drink water from bottles? It's big business!
Just found your site. Wonderful! Such a great service to humanity. We have lived in eastern Europe for 20 yrs and have come across so many natural springs where the locals go to fill their bottles. I see almost none of those are listed, so I have started submitting the ones I know of. I hope more people will discover your site and begin drinking fresh spring water. I have also shared your site on FB. Thanks again!
So glad you found us! Thank you for your submissions, we cannot wait to share your springs with the rest of our database. 🙂 Welcome!
Can anyone help me with directions to the well in Lemont in Illinois on Bluff rd. I just went there and the road is fenced halfway to the well. Any other access to it?
Thank you so much for caring about people enough to do all of this research and make it available at no cost. Bless you!
Okay so I found a spring. Now what? I need to have the water tested, correct? What should I be testing for and, more importantly, how? My concerns would be regarding agricultural toxins and various other chemicals.
Next, what do I do with the water in cases where it contains some contaminants like coliforms or worse (chemicals)?
Thank you for shedding some light on the process 🙂
While driving thru our lovely Washington state, just found a wonderful spring. We have a nice 5 gallon water jug, so will fill it, when in that area. Our town used to have a small surface stream at which our citizens refreshed themselves. However, development 45 years ago, ended that water source. Will look for closer springs now.
This all sounds VERY exciting and I would love to try it! Also concerned about the safety of my particular spring so can you post or email the steps once you have the water on how to test it and what to look for? Thank you so much and I appreciate what you guys are doing! :)))
Hello, I need to find a spring on Long Island, NY. The only one on this site is "Cold Spring Harbor" but that is noted as CLOSED 🙁 Any others out here? Please update!
There is a spring near my house that has been around for a long time. Have spoken to several people about it and it seems to be good water. There is algae growing from the pipe and there is algae where the water is coming out into the "trough." I know some people pay good money for algae (spirulina etc). Do you think it is ok that there is algae growing from the pipe and where the water is coming out? The water is very cold. It is coming from a pipe that was run up to a small nearby mountain. Thanks!
Do not assume algae is healthy for you just because some forms are, just like some bacteria are healthful for us, and others can be very unhealthy, and some can even cause death. I would suggest sending off a sample of that water to get tested at a lab before consuming it.
Really good spring water is a treasure–and rarer by the minute!
Spring water has percolated down below ground through geological strata, cleaning it, then aerates as it comes up to the surface, so it can have qualities which make it better for living things to drink.
However…Imho, [Daniel] may be overly exuberant about spring water.
The water quality of springs as he describes, has not existed in several decades–though many are still very very good, compared with muni water.
Even the springs and streams at high altitudes can be polluted–known since over 30 years ago.
What DOES make a difference, is how Far from Concentrated Populations and Industries the springs or water tables are….and what other water tables those are connected with, where we cannot see them.
As far as I know, No one has been mapping where/how water tables connect, nor what industries or population concentrations affect them. Municipal water companies routinely fail to disclose and deliberately obfuscate, what chemical residues are in their water sources that don't get removed before they get to your tap.
At least one Tribe living on the W. WA coastal area, which used what most might think was good water, has had a history of perinatal issues resulting in not being able to have babies. These were given a Government Grant of a few million dollars to investigate the cause, Only IF they did NOT look into Logging or Agricultural chemicals used in the area….might that be a dead give-away? [tribal members who moved away, eventually were able to have babies].
It's been known for many years that even deep water aquifers have pollutants in them.
For instance, the fuel additive MTBE was found, unchanged by being filtered through over 800′ of geological strata, in deep water tables under San Jose, CA, years ago. MTBE's a known carcinogen, is teratogenic too, I think….yet because of the NAFTA treaty, it's allowed to be made and sold, still–few know that former Gov. Gray Davis was deposed significantly related to his trying to get MTBE removed from fuels in CA, because of that finding. Davis was threatened by a Canadian corporation which made part of that fuel additive, that they'd sue CA, if Davis tried to block sales of MTBE in CA.
Water tables in W. WA State, are so shallow, pollutants get to those more easily, and even less changed by geological filtering. Yet WA buckled to corporate pressure, even after being informed of the dangers by citizens, and allowed it into WA [Yay NAFTA?!?].
Many manmade chemical compounds are made to be very stable like that of MTBE, defying normal breaking down as it filters through geological strata–defying normal breaking down of the formulas, is largely the problem.
There are literally 10's of thousands of various chemical compounds, invented to do various things from making food happen, to oil fracking, to helping make rain on command, to medicines, household products, or running machines.
Also, water rights or access to huge water tables, such as those under parts of Canada, have been captured by corporations like Nestle company, which has been bottling/selling that water to such an extent that the water table has lowered, and made water for residents and farming more difficult. It's a more arid region which depends on stored aquifer water more heavily than regions which get more rain; the losses to their water table can be catastrophic, if allowed to continue for very long.
We, world-wide, have a HUGE issue imminently at hand: clean water. Clean water is imperative, yet, corporations have already been allowed to set precedent to control it like a commodity, like petroleum.
IF we find and keep records of wild springs and cleaner water sources, as well as learning how to induce those qualities in on-site catchment water, which are in spring water, we'll go a long way towards protecting our water availability.
This will need to start with reversing laws blocking use of catchment water and grey water reuse.
Then using references such as Earthship building systems, to learn how to make systems which can properly expose catchment water to rocks and air, to make more good water right where we are.
Millions of people worldwide, have little access to clean water, much less spring water. Perhaps we need to learn how to make "spring water"…and clean up our water-use habits?
there is a spring south of north bay ont which a person had studied. Labs determined the water coming from the spring was 2000 years old – in other words, before the industrial revolution. clean northern ontario water.
Thank you for all this great and concerning information.
Also…any reports whether the spring in downtown Olympia, WA has been re-opened yet?
It had been shut down supposedly due to it being contaminated by bacteria?
Great Info thanks 🙂
Lots of Springs here in Trinidad, So i'll start sipping when I go to the beach this weekend 🙂
What's the name of the artist playing the end of video'?
what is a spring and how does it continually flow ??? we have a very established spring it has been here for decades i have been told how does it work?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has collected water from Silver Springs NY or Cherry Creek NY and do you know if it's safe to drink? I collected some near Arcade NY but became very constipated after consuming after about a week. Is this because of all the minerals in the water?
What is the difference between well water and spring water. I have well water readily available. Is this just as good for me?
Awesome post.
I lived in Wilmington, NC in 1962 and moved away after only 6 months. During our time we were here, there were occasions that we collected water in bottles from a fresh water spring. Do you know if there every was or still is a fresh water spring in Wilmington, NC?
where is the closest spring to east lake rd milton fl
Beautiful soulful music at the end there… I see music by Rob Lucente and Dwight Stannard in the credits… and a little internet search tells me they have a band called "The Cheddar Band" out of Burlington, VT… Any idea of the name of the track and where I can listen to it or download it? Thanks

Dr. Joe Mercola's latest (53 minute) video speaks about 'structured water' which spring water IS unless and until it is either boiled (after which is can be RE-structured by chilling) or microwaved (no hope). Likewise, the water in your fruits and vegetables is structured (which is another reason eating raw is better for us)(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/08/10/global-water-crisis.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=artTest_A5&utm_campaign=20160804Z1&et_cid=DM112836&et_rid=1603465859 & http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/08/03/effortless-healing.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20160803Z1&et_cid=DM112785&et_rid=1601282508). Another way to clarify/purify questionable water is offered by Adya Solutions for Life in Adya Clarity Ionic Sulfate minerals (http://adyawater.com/) which also brings water to its 4th crystalline state (structured). It also 'perserves' large quantities of water without chilling for extended periods. You might warn that shipping charges for glass carboys can cause sticker shock. Pay attention to yard sales. The plastic ones, however, leach their poisons into the 'universal solvent' regardless if one can taste anything. Avoid avoid avoid. AN-y-way, I recommended this site to Dr. Mercola just now. God bless you and your work.
Yeah, I'm a chemist, and that's total BS.
@garrett- in your opinion which claim is bullshit?
Hello Garrett,
My family and I drink natural spring water from a spring in Wisconsin. My wife wants to filter it… I told her she's crazy.. She thinks the toxins from local farms are getting into the water and its not good for us. I said the water tastes great, its better than drinking tap water, and filtering is unnessarry. We can choose to drink healthy, but can't isolote ourselves from teh world.. The water the spring is tapped into is deep down and very little will run off to the natural spring water from the farms. I like to eat healthy, drink healthy, and keep things simple without making myself..or my kids crazy.. Your thoughts? Thx
"Concerning the effects of Microwaves on Water: According to Louis A. Bloomfield Ph.D., a Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia and the author of the book How Everything Works: Making Physics Out of the Ordinary, 'Microwaves don't affect the molecular structure of the food, except through the thermal effects we associate with normal cooking (e.g., denaturing of proteins with heat and caramelizing of sugars). That's because, like all electromagnetic waves, microwaves are emitted and absorbed as particles called "photons." The energy in a microwave photon is so tiny that it can't cause any chemical rearrangement in a molecule. Instead, it can only add a tiny amount of heat to a water molecule.' (23)
In other words, stating that microwaving would cause the structure of the water molecules to tear apart and cause the water to essentially decompose into its component hydrogen and oxygen, as occurs in electrolysis, is an incredible claim that's also incredibly unsubstantiated, much less to go farther and make definitive claims as to what what the dangers would be even if it did.
Plus, not only is this claim completely unsubstantiated, it's just plan WRONG because a microwave oven passes 'Non-Ionizing' microwave radiation (27) through food. Brian Dunning, in his 'Are Microwave Ovens Safe?' episode of Skeptiod, does a great job of explaining this reality in order to highlight how demonstrably wrong this type of claim is:
'Probably the most flagrant error that the Microwave Militia propagates is that microwaved food or water contains what they call "radiolytic compounds" — new chemicals created by the tearing apart of molecules in a microwave. These new chemicals are said to be dangerous, cancerous, radioactive, unnatural, or otherwise harmful. This is a demonstrably false claim. Radiolysis, which is a real process and which the Militia believes creates these radiolytic compounds, is the process by which molecules are dissociated under ionizing radiation. Water can be dissociated under ionizing alpha particle bombardment, which is a natural process. Microwave radiation, as mentioned earlier, is not ionizing radiation. It is thus scientifically incapable of causing radiolysis. The differences between microwave radiation and alpha radiation are huge. With the claim that microwaves cause dissociation of water molecules, the Microwave Militia is either deliberately lying, or they are grossly ignorant of the very subject on which they claim superior expertise.'"
Check out Prof. Gerald Pollack's work the Fourth Phase of Water, this is what Dr. Mercola is referring to, it isn't Dr. Mercola's work – it is Prof. Pollacks.
I can't get anything from your website, can anyone tell me to find local springs , I live in south buffalo twp. Freeport Pa 16229
There's one right next door to you. Address:
1300 Argonne Drive
Natrona Heights, PA 15065
This spring is along Argonne Drive in the Natrona section of Harrison Township. Ironically, there is a road near this spring, named "Springhill Road" even though it does not have a spring. As you travel the downhill side of Argonna drive, the spring will be on your left side, a yellow painted brick structure surrounds the spout. You may either cross over the road and park directly in front of the spring, or drive up on to the curb and walk across the road to it.
Ich selbst wandere, wenn es die Zeit zulässt, sehr gerne. Da ich aus Norddeutschland komme, mache ich viele lange Strandspaziergänge und habe dabei immer meine kleine Wanderausrüstung dabei. In den Pauen bereite ich mir dann eine Mahlzeit oder einen Tee zu. Ich liebe es, wenn es unterwegs Quellen und Bäche gibt, wo man sein Trinkwasservorrat auffüllen kann. Beste Grüße Sebastian
I like to wander, if time allows, very much like. Since I come from North Germany, I do many long beach walks and always have my small hiking equipment. In the Pauen I then prepare a meal or a tea. I love it when there are springs and creeks where you can fill up your drinking water. Best regards Sebastian
Someone asked if well water was good enough. YES! Same thing. Well water is spring water but had to be accessed by drilling instead of just romantically gushing forth. I have well water, clean gorgeous water. I get to bathe in it!
It just doesn't seem so cool or instagram worthy the water didn't just gurgle into the air. How about using fresh snow? Yum yum, rain water and snow are considered clean, but it depends on pollutants as well.
I used to get water from the well in Gibsons, BC when I was living in places with either unsafe water or municipal water and it was still free. Where I live we used to only have a a shallow well fed by creeks. My landlord has water rights which is cool and all, but it made for many a sick tummy even if it was boiled. Sometimes it went dry. Then my landlord dug a well and it's pretty much the same as Gibsons water or better. A lot of water on the Sunshine Coast has arsenic, so it is worthwhile to get water from Gibsons or find a friend with a good well.
I used to get water from Lynn Valley headwaters in North Vancouver which seemed a bit gunny to me and right next to a road. I remember most fondly getting spring water from the spring around Wakefield Quebec as a young child and in over the years visiting family.
im not being mean or just posting to sound like i know more, seriously just hoping to pass on info and my personal opinion and knowledge but no personally i dont believe well water = spring water as you say. well water can kill you in certain situations. think about the logic here: wells are dug in the ground, so there is going to be a spectrum of shallow to deep, especially when we are talking about fact that well water is usually done rurally, usually (sometimes, whatever) lower income people who cant afford professional, machine powered drills that can dig deeper. literally you can cheaply dig maybe 100 ft underground and call it well water. you can dig 10 ft and call it well water. or you can dig 1000 feet for instance. the problem is if someone lives a little ways up from you (higher elevation) and they use a septic system for instance, or they farm and use chemicals, this contamined water can get into your well water.
to make easier to understand too i think well water is also called/or comes from ground water (vs. surface water such as rivers). springs on the other hand usually originate from deeper locations or up in mountainous areas where the water has had more time to filter and clean.
so to be safe and better than sorry no, well water does not always equal spring water and well water is not always safe to drink. i guess you can also say this about spring water. it all depends on where water originates from and nearby potential contaminates.
My family was that rural low income family. We could still afford a well, dug with a pro crew and drillig rig. The people that run that rig are likely going to tap into a known aquifer at good depth for good filtration.
these comments have some hazardous information regarding wells and springs even creeks. nobody should ingest stream. creek or river water no matter how clear it is. Well water will be unsanitary until it is treated. Well drilling takes dirt from the surface with it. Well drilling is not cheap as one comment implies or they live on top of the softest ground known to man.
Fracking being blamed is also a fad and considering nobody knew about it for most of its existence. Details would be helpful and if one does not know if it is true or not that fracking bothered a well then say so. Many malign oil and gas companies but enjoy heat in their homes for low cost. "Going green" is a few hundred years away from being practical or actually green.
Boiling water may kill bacteria but does not remove metals. "Tummy aches" are most likely caused by neurotic parents instilling fear into the children!
The comments are some utopian hippie babble. I have worked with water wells and none of the commenters seem to know anything about wells or pumps or pressure tanks, not even the term "artesian".
Has anyone seen the footage of Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon singing a protest song of "fracking"? I ask-what does a Japanese gold -digger and the son of a dead rock star that live in an exclusive New York apartment building overlooking Central Park know about or even bothered to think about gas and oil drilling?? There is money in drilling and money in opposing it and nothing for suckers but heat and light or freezing in the dark. Drinking water is becoming scarce and not because of fracking or pollution but because of waste. Water rights is for surface water. Water districts control wells. Washing your car or even owning a car indicates that you must shut up about fracking and pollution or big business. A desert town that stole water rights from farmers so that they could swim in their pools after making movies about evil businesses drilling for oil or polluters is called Hollywood. Most idiots believe those movies and the stars that act in them. Hoover Dam is running low in order to water lawns in Las Vegas, another desert town. Upstream Lake Powell boat docks are on dry ground and the water is not going to get that high again. The countless marine batteries that were discarded sit in the open and not at the bottom. Lead acid batteries, deep cycle, the kind you would use for solar (green) energy…
When it comes to water quality, one must determine if the spring or well comes from "primary water" or "subsurface water."
The surrounding environment is an important consideration when dealing with subsurface water since industrial or agricultural contamination can enter the well or spring.
Primary water on the other hand comes from deep aquafirs and is pristine (so long as there's no fracking in the area). A well can tap into an aquafir or in the case of a spring, fissures in the earth crust cause the water to come up to the surface.
Although subsurface water can be good in a clean environment, the best "structured" water always comes from primary sources.
Google "primary water" to learn more.
Our wells are not the same. The springs are much deeper down. We cannot drink our well water. Its been contaminated due to fracking.
Has anyone had experience with the "tank spring" in Lafollette TN. I called the local utility board and the water chemist said they tested it years back and found "a little contamination" (whatever that means). I have a charcoal/ceramic filter setup that will filter down to .2 micron of bacteria. My main goal is to rid myself of flouride in the local tap water here. TIA
All you need to do to get rid of flouride is leave the top off for 24 hours. Thats if you use a city water source. I dont think flouride is in spring water anyway since its an additive used in municipalities. Not naturally found in water. Springs are already the best natural filtration for water.
That works for the chlorine, but I have never read anything of the sort for fluoride removal. Distillation, reverse osmosis & activated alumina are the only ways to remove it.
Leaving the top off of the container will let the chlorine out. Flouride doesn't gas off like chlorine does, unfortunately.
If the rock and soil in the area have flouride, then the wells and springs will have natural flouride, which is very different than the industrial waste put into municipal water supplies.
Leaving the top off will not remove flouride. Chlorine will evaporate this way, but not flouride. Brita-type carbon filters also do not reduce flouride levels. The only reliable ways to remove flouride are through distilling or reverse osmosis filtering water. These methods also remove all beneficial minerals, so it is advisable to add them back when drinking.
Look into a Berkey Filter. To remove fluoride just add their auxiliary fluoride filter. The Berkey "Black" filter alone gives spring like quality up to 3000 gallons of tap water, or what have you. Adding the auxiliary filter is iceing on the cake.
Oh, it doesn't need pressure, it's totally gravity fed.
(I do not work for Berkey, but I do use their filters
Actually, fluoride doesn't evaporate. However there are filters available that will remove fluoride. There are a lot of brands to choose from so just google and figure out which one you'd like.
Trudy, your'e right about fluoride not evaporating but with the filters there are many that claim too but there is only one type of "system" that can remove any Fluoride and that's a RO (reverse osmosis) system. There is no cartridge or any other type of system that can remove fluoride and any that claim it are scams. You may already know this but it's important to clarify for the people who don't 🙂
The best filters out there for fluoride reduction only reduce it by 25% on asingle pass through. If I'm wrong in making this statement I'd love to be proven so.
Filter companies use the word removes… where they should state filters reduce contaminants to remove means everything is gone.
Fyi… Fluoride is smaller than a virus hence the difficulty at "reducing It's typically reduced by being absorbed.
Best filters for reduction of fluoride:
Fast flow Nanofiber
Bone Char
Unfortunately i don't think theirs anything on the market that gets out all the fluoride. The portable puritii water filter is the most powerful biological and chemical purifier on the planet. It has been tested by an ISO accredited facility to remove 41.3% of fluoride from tap water not to mention all the other crap that's in water.
We've been living "off grade" for many years, get our water from the spring and well. We have found that Biotite (Black Mica concentrate) cleans our water, been using it for almost 5 yrs. and love it! Our test show Biotite H3o2 Concentrate removes fluoride,(and more!) … the poison only the USA uses ~ it's banned everywhere else!
Thank you for all this great information! How do you dispense the water once you have it at home?
mona these glass "growlers" from freund container have worked for me
the only caps ive been able to find from them that are unlined are plastic unfortunately. they offer metal caps too but are all lined with plastics and things im not comfortable with.
these unlined caps are the ones ive found that seem to have the least amount of things added into it (its just polypropylene and no lining)
the 38-400 size is what goes with the growler
each case of growlers comes in its own cardboard box that makes transit to and from spring easy and i havent had any issues with things breaking since the boxes prevent the glasses from hitting each other
We collect water in empty Spring Water Jugs from Walmart. We store them on shelves out of the sun.
We use the water for all cooking and drinking needs. Gallons are much easier to handle and the plastic doesn't break.
You could also buy Organic Apple Juice in glass gallon jugs, and save the bottles for use.

If you are afraid to drink clean water then I am afraid you have lost the battle for your mind.
It is 100% legal to forage wild water and other wild plants, as long as you haven't trespassed onto private property. Even then, let your moral compass decide if water is worth the risk.
I was walking on my favorite beach in Asotin, Washington a couple weeks
ago. It was a very hot evening and the sand was warm. All of a sudden I noticed a spot in the sand that was wet and icy cold. I dug down into the sand and fresh spring water was oozing out steadily and draining into the river. I noticed there were several spots around there like that. What would it take to put a tap on it to make it available to drink?
If you are asking about the artesian well in Lynnwood Washington the county maintains the well and tests the water every month. There is even a small parking area. Some years ago the county relocated the well about 50′ from where it used to be to make it safer and make room for cars to park off the road. At this location it is legal to take water. The area around the well is owned by the county. Some time ago a poster commented that she put a little bleach in the water to make sure it's safe. Just so you know bleach is chlorine bottled for home use.
For the persons who said it made them sick, it's probably your containers. If they are contaminated your water will be contaminated. Was them out with a bleach solution and then rinse them with pure water. Maybe take them to the well and rinse them out but do it some distance away from the well.
If you use the 5 gallon water jugs you can get a pump to fit on top.You could also purchase a refrigerated water dispenser.
There is a spring in Frazier, Iowa. We drive there and fill up gallon jugs about once a month. Tastes great, always cold, and after I tested it is free of nitrites, and nitrates. It's tastes way better than the city water where we live which is near Frazier. This spring has been there 50 years or more. I meet locals down there who are in their 50s or 60s & have gotten water there their entire lives. Anyone else in Iowa know about it? Come get water!
Remember, some springs can be contaminated with E-Coli, for example. We used a spring out of Millersburg OH for years and then a barnyard was put in up high on the hill from which the spring sprung forth. Three of us got really sick: one went to the hospital, one missed work for the first time in 14 years, and the third person recognized what she had and had pills for it because she was from India! I called the EPA
thanks for informing me. yes, i know this. thankfully most springs, and the only ones i take from, are located high up in mountain environments where it's easy to see that there is nothing else sitting over the spring that could cause problems. i dont want to advise anyone as i dont have a degree in water science for instance and i truly don't know for sure but what i would assume is that for any spring located in mountainous environments as long as nothing is above the spring such as a livestock farm like you had experience with then that would be one less thing that could potentially cause problems.
and sorry that happened to you. that must have been horrible.
We've been living "off grade" for many years, get our water from the spring and well. We have found that Biotite (Black Mica concentrate) cleans our water, been using it for almost 5 yrs. and love it!
Sorry, to hear that. That would suck. I'm going to play the devil's advocate and say that is a very big exception and not the rule.
You're spot on regarding the possibility of Spring Water being unsafe. Always best to filter!
Very Helpful… Thanks
was wondering if you know of any other springs around Ottawa other then Wakefield
Nacimientos de agua existen muchos, pero para nosotros aquí en España, cómo en otros sitios del mundo, encontramos un gran problema a la hora de su recogida y posterior consumo. El problema, empieza en el lugar dónde se surte uno de esta maravilla natural, el paso y bebida del ganado, el baño o lavado de pies, de los seres humanos, entre otros, sin contar las gamberradas personales. Sobre su posterior consumo, por lo general, todos llevamos vasijas de plástico o pvc, cosa comprobada el daño que causa a la salud, incluído el agua embotellada en plástico, mejor en cristal, ya que es "MENOS MALA".
En fín, cuándo se conoce y se da a conocer un manantial de agua de excelente calidad, tanto si es de cualquier gobierno como privado, lo monopolizan y se acaba con la gratuidad de la misma y pasa a su comercialización.
Me voy a permitir un CONSEJO : Por necesidad, usar los plásticos para su transporte y posteriormente, su consumo sólo en cristal, el MAL SERÁ MENOR.
Saludos desde Málaga ( España )
Good day
your videos are great. been collecting artisan water for years here in Seattle. We have two great sources 45min to 1.25H from the city.
Yet Im looking at moving my private practice to Quartzite AZ. The the make it or break it decision will be my water source.
There are many well in Quartzite, yet several have been contaminated and are a different depths that lead me to believe they could and have had problems.
Would you know of an area to collect that is high enough from cattle or pipelines?
Super greatful for all the videos you have made and realize how blessed I have been to be in an area with such great water. And it is supper yummy – thank you Ila
Hi ILA, what sources of artisan water you use in Seattle? I used to use the one in Lynnwood but then learned that that water could be contaminated since it was coming mostly from Martha Lake.
Quartzite is veey high in Chromium 6 contamination… don't believe that the spring water located there is safe, its probably not in that area.
I am Jain religion,,India.
We follow ,
Water to BOIL
I've been a municipal water treatment plant operator for 13 yrs, I understand the thirst for true spring water, big proponent here.
But the video showing the collection of water by dipping the bottle into a spring fed pond with the leaves and god knows what in it. If you collect water please try and collect water not under the influence of surface water. Unless your collecting at the spot before it surfaces, nothing is stopping birds, rodents, and mammals from contaminating the source with fecal coloforms. Just be careful out there and do your best to prevent the waterborne diseases that we have nearly gotten rid of since modern water treatment has been developed, it's not perfect, but it has been effective.
How do you know which spring is "better" and how do you know if it's "safe"? Is there a way to test for bacteria etc?
i have three springs on my farm, two of them we do not use, but one we call the cold hole has been tested and is pure, the sand which is very fine in the bottom of the spring is a bluewhite , this is from the deep granite according to the state, i have placed a cover over the spring and we pump drinking water into our home for drinking only, best water i have ever tasted
*** Almost every State has an Agency or Agricultural College that offers free water testing service.
Collect a clean sample in a small drinking water bottle and submit it to them. They will email you the test results to verify that the water is safe to use. The results will also tell you what minerals or lack of them is in the water.
Hello is any one aware way are they taking the Elmvale (Ontario)spring water away to wash gravel is the best water I've tasted in a long time people come from miles away for it.
Hey Springsters!
I figure this is as good a place as any to ask my silly spring water storing questions.
I'm beginning a more simple life by moving into my renovated conversion van. As such, I have to figure out the best way to store my spring water so that it is protected from the sometimes freezing temperatures. I've already experienced a glass carboy shattering with only an inch worth of water within, luckily not in the van, but I really want to avoid that going forward.
I have an insulated cabinet, but that will only do so much. I've even looked at the carboy insulating sleeves, but I'm not sure if those will provide enough insulation against freezing temperatures.
Plastic is the logical way to go, but then again, it's plastic.
Any experience with such problems?
I just like the helpful info you supply for your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and test once more right here
frequently. I am rather sure I'll learn a lot
of new stuff right right here! Best of luck for the following!
I was wondering if springs are located near the coast. I am in Corpus Christi and wondered if its possible that they exist on the beach? I have found fresh water in the dunes…is this possibly from undrground springs….?
Nice weblog right here! Additionally your website
lots up very fast! What web host are you using?
Can I am getting your affiliate link on your host? I wish my site loaded
up as quickly as yours lol
That is a really good tip especially to those fresh to the blogosphere.
Short but very accurate information… Thanks for sharing this
one. A must read post!
In accordance with my observation, after a foreclosures home is available at a sale, it is common for any borrower to still have a remaining balance on the mortgage loan. There are many loan providers who aim to have all rates and liens paid back by the following buyer. Even so, depending on a number of programs, laws, and state regulations there may be a number of loans that aren't easily solved through the exchange of lending options. Therefore, the duty still lies on the borrower that has received his or her property foreclosed on. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this website.
First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself
and clear your head before writing. I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted
simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Many thanks!
Nice Post. Thanks!
There is a popular spring outside of Cadiz, Ohio that generations of locals have been coming to. You can't beat natural spring water compared with overpriced bottled water which just ends up in a landfill somewhere!
I spoke to you a long time ago… you should really take a look at our fast flow nanofiber filtration technology…we have a gravity flow filter that filters water 300 times faster than ceramic Berkey style filters.
On a single pass through of one filter they reduce virus by 99.9999%

Growing Room Planning
One of the most fun points in any marijuana growers life is being able to plan out and then setup their grow room. Plenty of growers start out with micro cabinets as well as grow tents however for those of you smart enough to skip the small stuff and go straight to setting up a YIELD GENERATING grow room keep reading for some helpful tips.
Easiest Way To Setup A Grow
There are many different grow tents and cabinets that can be built but one of the least expensive and most productive ways to build a grow room is by using black and white poly also known as panda. With the panda poly you will be able to create a light proof and reflective grow area that has the white side of the poly on the grow side and the black side on the outside.
Many times however there are many reasons to not use panda poly especially in a room or area where others might frequent often. Besides a grow tent nothing screams MARIJUANA GROW more than a poly grow room or cabinet setup in a room so make sure the foot traffic is either minimal or completely non existent.
How Important Is Being "Light Tight"
There are many strains that react terribly to any and all light leaks no matter how small. Anytime you setup a grow room don't forget to go inside it and seal it up and see what light leaks you see while in there.
If you are totally fine with hermies then by all means don't worry about light leaks however for those who do not want cross dressing marijuana plants in their tents KEEP the light leaks to a minimum or completely irrelevant.
What About Dealing With Temps
Temps are something that most new growers overlook but it can be one of the biggest yield reducers in any garden. Being able to not only regulate but also limit any and all heat should be something that most growers should do. One thing with temps that marijuana growers should understand is that if your temps get high enough many bugs will start to roll in. Sometimes it seems like random bugs come out of practically nowhere however with high temps the odds are much higher.
Keeping Grow Odors Down With Scrubbers
If you are in a med friendly state you might think that life is peaches and cream and no one will mess with your grow BUT you are 100% incorrect with that observation. It really does not matter whether you are in a med friendly state or not for you to make sure to keep your grow odors in check.
Always look at your grow as if you have GOLD hiding and understanding that there is ZERO REASON to let anyone ( no matter how close they are to you ) know that you are growing even if you are a 100% compliant medical marijuana grower.
What Sort Of Walls Or Reflective Material To Use
The easiest and best stuff to use is called panda. It allows you the ability to build a grow room to the exact specs that you want WHILE making sure that the grow itself is completely light tight. There are many other wall materials to use such as mylar but they are a pain in the ass to work with no matter how LESS EXPENSIVE they might seem to you.
You can build actual walls however even if you put the time into drywall etc you will want to end up lining it with poly ( panda specifically ) simply because it is extremely cheap and amazingly simple to work with.
How To Keep Your Grow On The Down Low
There is only one way to keep a secret and that is by telling NO ONE. You might think you have friends that can keep a secret however if it comes down to your livelihood and your NON incarceration we would suggest that you keep your grow a complete secret. The only reason growers run their mouths is because they feel the need to "prove themselves" or even "look cool" and neither of these reasons are worth losing your freedom over TRUST US.
How To Grow Marijuana With Feminized Cannabis Seeds
There are so many different seed banks and marijuana breeders where you can get some solid genetics from. Sometimes it can seem like you will never be able to get all of the strains that you feel are MUST HAVE strains.
Usually when you start buying seeds it tends to get a bit addictive ( I think that growing and collecting seeds is about as ADDICTIVE as marijuana can be ) because there are just so many great strains worth buying up.
Many new patients and growers start with feminized seeds these days. It could be due to the simplicity of not needing to deal with males however there can be other issues including random males and hermaphrodite plants popping up if the feminized strains were not bred correctly and tested.
What Are Feminized Seeds
Feminized seeds simply means that 100% of the seeds are female and there should be zero chance of any males popping out of the seeds. With nature, it can do what it wants to do and as crosses and hybrids are developed random males can and do pop up from time to time.
Now a days the feminized breeders have gotten their fem breeding down to a solid system and have removed most hermie and male issues from their female lines which has been a definite bonus for the medical marijuana and commercial growers .
Spotting Hermies And How To Avoid Them
If you are new to growing, locating males and females can be difficult however locating hermaphrodite plants is ten times harder because they are much harder to spot. Usually hermies come out of female plants which then grow out "bananas" within their bud sites and preflowers. They literally look like small bananas and when they open up POLLEN will come out and dust all the hairs and if viable will create seeds.
Since the plants that are producing this pollen is a female however each and every seed that this pollen produces will be female. There are some shady breeders who actually use hermaphrodite pollen versus creating real female seeds using colloidal silver for example. Be careful when buying female seeds especially from unverified breeders because they could have hermies within their projects and the problem genetics might take awhile to pop up ( a few generations ) but once they do they will reek havoc in your garden and breeding projects.
How Are Feminized Seeds Made
There are many ways to create female seeds and the fastest way is from hermi plants pollinating themselves and other plants in your tent, cabinet or garden. You can also self females which will allow you to take a female that does NOT hermi but force it to produce male nanners to create pollen with and allow for 100% genetically viable females within each and every seed.
You can do a colloidal silver mix which is actually quite easy to make at home ( google colloidal silver generator females ) and will allow any closet breeder or pollen chucker the ability to take any clone only or elite female and produce seeds of. This would be killer for cherry pie, girl scout cookies or other cali elite clone only strains currently around.
How Does Grow Room Environment Affect Plant Gender
There really are plenty of reasons why a plant will be male or female but hermies tend to come from environmental issues specifically light leaks and other interruptions with the flowering day/night light cycles. When a plant feels that it will not survive due to the environment or the light cycles, it can and will produce nanners so that it can reproduce.
Having a hotter temp can create more males especially in terribly dry grow tents with zero air flow. Many males will tend to pop up due to low light issues and is something that can easily be fixed once the grower dials in the environment to the 75-85 degree sweet spot.
How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds
If you are new to growing one of the most annoying things that you can do is buy $100 seeds and end up killing them due to your inability to germinate them correctly. Whether you are getting started with bag seed or elite strains this article will allow you to increase your germination ratios and end up with
more pheno and strain selection.
How To Spot Viable Seeds
There are many growers who believe that green and white seeds are not viable however we have tested plenty of seeds over the years ( tens of thousands actually ) and many seeds which look to be incapable of germination do the exact opposite. Anytime you pollen chuck and create your own seeds remember to keep and test ALL seeds because there are many seeds that look terrible however end up having some of the best marijuana plants coming out of them and more than worth growing out and testing.
Besides the many white and green strains spotting viable seeds ( when you buy from seed banks the seeds should be dark and/or tiger striped to show viability and age ) is actually as easy as making sure the seeds look and feel aged. Most young seeds do not have a strong shell and will crush/snap under minimal pressure however viable seeds will be hard to crush BUT be careful as it is still possible to crush viable seeds.
How Long Does It Take For Seeds To Germ
From the time you put the seeds in water to soak, seeds tend to take 24-72 hour to fully germinate. This will of course depend on how you germinate the cannabis seeds AND what the temps are during the germination process itself.
Whether you do the water soak or not, most seeds will germinate and end up showing taproots within 3 days whether placed in soil, hydroton or even as simple as wet paper towels.
Different Marijuana Seed Germination Methods
If you have ever wondered how the pros germinate there seeds keep reading. One of the easiest and most used methods to germinate seeds is by soaking the seeds in water for at least 24 hours and then tossing in a tupperware container with a wet paper towel until a solid tap root comes out of the seed shell itself.
Many growers take seeds and toss them straight into soil, rockwool or peat pellets however when you have spent $10+ per seed it makes sense to do anything and everything possible to make sure that all the seeds germinate. Nothing beats the soak in water for 24+ hours and tossing either into a tupperware with a wet paper towel OR soaking in water for the 24+ hours and then putting the seeds straight into soil and skipping the tupperware/paper towel method completely.
How To Tend To Germinating Seeds and Seedlings
It is actually very easy for germinating seeds to die. Many make the mistake of leaving their seeds to soak in water for too long as well as forgetting to wet the paper towel that the seeds are germinating under ( when doing the tupperware method ) and end up frying them completely. The temps of the germinating seeds do play a powerful role in how the seeds and the plants that come out of them end up growing.
When To Transplant Into Growing Medium After Germination
The best time to transplant your germinated seedlings into vegging pots is AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The easiest way to give your seeds the best chance of life is by putting them in soil or hydro as fast and soon as possible. When you have the ability to toss your germinated seeds in soil you then are able to see your germination ratios as well as continue to expand your current garden.

Kirk and Nachbaur Named to Hockey Manitoba Development Camp
Winnipeg, MB – Prince Albert Raiders prospects Lane Kirk and Justin Nachbaur were among 30 players named to Hockey Manitoba's 2015 Under-16 Program of Excellence (POE) Development Camp roster.
The U-16 program will host a skills camp in early July followed by a prep camp later in August. The skills camp will entirely focus on further developing individual player skills and tactics along with fitness testing and training. The prep camp held in August, just prior to the start of the 2015-16 try-out season, will feature more team tactics and systems with more competitive ice sessions and inter-squad games.
A total of thirty (30) players have been named to the U-16 POE Development Camp roster featuring a breakdown of four (4) goalies, ten (10) defensemen, and sixteen (16) forwards.
Kirk was selected by the Raiders in the fifth round, 97th overall, in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. The defenceman from Swan River, MB played this past season with the Parkland Rangers Bantam AAA team. In 32 games, Kirk recorded 12 goals and 23 assists for 35 points.
Nachbaur was picked by Prince Albert in the seventh round, 142nd overall, in this year's WHL Bantam Draft. The forward from Cross Lake, MB spent the 2014-15 campaign with the Winnipeg Warriors Bantam AAA team where he scored 23 goals and 22 assists for 45 points in 30 games.
Both Kirk and Nachbaur began this summer by competing at Hockey Manitoba's POE Top-40 Camp. Fellow Raiders prospects Cole Fonstad, Carson Miller, Spencer Moe, Tyler Lowe, and Chase Felgueiras have also advanced to provincial development camps in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
U-16 Team Manitoba will compete at the Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup set for October 27 – November 1, 2015 in Calgary, AB.
The Raiders are seeking volunteers for the 2015-16 season. To become part of the Raiders family and find out more information, please Michael Scissons at email@example.com.

Federal transit board urges changes after BART track deaths
Two months after a BART train struck and killed two track workers, federal safety officials sought a nationwide ban Thursday on the practice the transit agency had used that day, in which the workers were solely responsible for their own safety and had no communication with train drivers.
The National Transportation Safety Board also moved to force rail agencies to use "redundant" technology to avoid disasters, such as automated collision-avoidance systems and devices that workers can use to detect or halt approaching trains. The BART workers who died did not have such devices.
"Having redundant protection measures in place for track workers is not only a best practice, but common sense," the safety board's chairwoman, Deborah Hersman, wrote in a letter to Peter Rogoff, head of the Federal Transit Administration. "A positive safety culture is not a solo act - everyone needs to look out for each other."
Practice suspended
The letter asked the Federal Transit Administration, which oversees public transit systems, to require the changes, which were listed as urgent. It said rail agencies should "eliminate any authorization that depends solely on the roadway worker to provide protection from trains."
BART, which called the practice "simple approval," suspended it in the wake of the Oct. 19 deaths of two workers who were checking a dip in tracks near Walnut Creek. It's unclear how widespread the practice is nationally.
The safety board is still investigating the BART crash and has not determined the cause.
But the Contra Costa County coroner reported that neither of the workers - Christopher Sheppard, 58, of Hayward and Laurence Daniels, 66, of Fair Oaks (Sacramento County) - was acting as a lookout as required by BART policy, and both had their backs turned to the train that hit them.
The train was running during a strike. It was traveling 60 to 70 mph and was being operated by a manager undergoing training to take over driver duties in the event of an extended walkout, federal investigators said.
BART board President Joel Keller said, "Anything that moves us in the direction of providing a more safe work environment, I have no problems, and we'll be prepared to support." But he said the agency must review the recommendations first.
Before suspending simple approval, BART officials had insisted for three decades that workers doing routine track maintenance be solely responsible for their safety, and the agency would not slow trains traveling through their work areas.
Linked to earlier deaths
The practice was linked to BART worker deaths in 2001 and 2008. After the second death, BART modified the policy to require that one member of a work crew serve as a spotter. Now, train operators must slow down through job sites. In some cases, they must halt trains until work is complete or avoid work areas via single-tracking.
A federal law requires, by 2015, that all inter-city railroads and rail passenger carriers implement automated collision-avoidance systems, known as positive train control. Hersman said her agency had been urging the change for decades.
Christine Dunn, a spokeswoman for Caltrain, said Thursday that the agency was working to meet the positive train control deadline. She said it did not leave track workers solely responsible for their own safety.
John Haley, director of transit for San Francisco Muni, said the system has safeguards for track workers but is considering devices for them to communicate with trains.

As a photographer I love almost every shoot that I do but every now and then one stands out above the rest. This shoot was one of those for me. It was Devin & Madeline's wedding day in Jackson Hole on the Walton Ranch and rather than do their photos after the ceremony we opted to meet at 7am and try to capture the early morning light. We hadn't planned on the fog! It was terribly cold and wet and Madeline was such a trooper in her wedding dress and cowboy boots. Although the images were the exact opposite of what we had planned on, they turned out to be some of my favorite images I've been privileged enough to take part in creating.
One Response to "Devin & Madeline"
I accidentally found your page and I am just blown away by your amazing images. I bookmarked your site- I'm a fan… Kudos

"Word is that Caesar's old timers have shown up, Caesar's veterans from the Red Okie Centuria and what was the Painted Rock tribe. They're the best of the best and the baddest of the bad. Short of a centurion or praetorian, they don't come any tougher."— Hanlon
The Red Okie Centuria is a centuria unit in Caesar's Legion.
The unit is comprised mostly of long-running soldiers and veterans of the Legion, and were being rallied to the Mojave Wasteland in the events following up to the Second Battle of Hoover Dam.
The Red Okie Centuria is mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenesEdit
The unit could have links or connections to the state of Oklahoma, since the word "Okie" is a common slang term for a citizen of the state.
