Gifted Azura Stevens, can the Dallas Wings Take the Next Step?
By Eli Horowitz
It was no surprise Azura Stevens didn't hear her name called first in the 2018 WNBA Draft with a talent like A'ja Wilson available. But no analysts predicted that the Indiana Fever, Chicago Sky (with two picks) and the Seattle Storm would all pass on a 6-foot-6 forward with the rare, unicorn profile only the likes of Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne possess. She didn't dominate the college game like Wilson or second pick Kelsey Mitchell. In fact, she came off the bench for Geno Auriemma at the University of Connecticut, backing up Gabby Williams, who went ahead of her to Chicago.
But Stevens is seven inches taller than Williams, has the mechanics to be a 3-point shooter, and showed in the Final Four she can score inside, rebound and defend multiple positions.
The potential is there for her to be the best player in this draft, but can the Dallas Wings and coach Fred Williams get the best out of her and this roster to make a deeper playoff push in 2018?
The Wings finished the 2017 season 16-18 and limped into the seventh seed where they were handled easily by the Washington Mystics. Their core of Skylar Diggins-Smith, Glory Johnson, Karima Christmas-Kelly and rookie of the year Allisha Gray excited last season, but the number were concerning. The Wings were just 8th in offensive efficiency and 11th in defensive efficiency, per Synergy Sports, but scraped together just enough opportunities by leading the league in offensive rebounding, free throw makes and free throw attempts.
Stylistically, the Wings want to run and be aggressive. In 2017, they were third in pace and second in 3-point attempts. It wasn't efficient, as they finished 10th in transition offense efficiency, but it's an approach with potential in the modern era: run, shoot from distance and attack the basket. They will need more structure though as one coach and general manager said they are the easiest team to scout because they don't run a lot of plays. Reckless abandon won't win in the playoffs, and the Wings will need to have a more diverse offensive attack. That's where Liz Cambage comes in as she gives the Wings a different look and the opportunity to play in the half-court. Stevens could help in that regard as well, though initially she should help more in transition and on the glass.
Defensively, the Wings were aggressive last year, hedging and trapping pick and rolls and playing frenetically. It didn't work well with Courtney Paris as the center, but maybe with Stevens and Cambage it can be better. At the same time, when you send two defenders to the ball-handler on a pick and roll, you leave the rim open. If you bump the roller and help at the rim, you leave a shooter open. With the length and athleticism the Wings have, they might be better playing a drop back scheme, allowing Johnson, Stevens and Cambage to protect the rim, and allowing their perimeter players to pressure the ball and force teams to play isolation against them. This is also a team that should be able to switch positions one to four.
Can Fred Williams Deliver?
Fred Williams has a career record of 117-136 as a head coach. He's coached in four playoffs in nine seasons, taking the Atlanta Dream to the 2013 WNBA Finals before getting swept by the Minnesota Lynx. His resume has highs and lows, and it feels like this season will be a big test as he has arguably the most versatile and athletic team in the league. If this team finishes below five hundred and doesn't win a playoff game, it will be fair to ask if he's the right leader for the future. A full season of Aerial Powers, Liz Cambage and Azura Stevens will make his schemes look better, but he'll need to adapt and adjust to the nuanced styles these new additions bring. He also played Diggins-Smith the most minutes of any player in the league in 2017, not a good sign for a player coming off a knee injury.
Diggins-Smith has more help than ever, but the Wings might be relying on second round pick Loryn Goodwin to back her up. She's more than capable, but she doesn't fit the original plan of bringing in Jordin Canada or Lexie Brown to help shoulder the load.
The Wings have the personnel to be the third best team in the WNBA this year. They could also miss the playoffs if they don't gel. Fred Williams has a roster that any coach would yearn for: switchable, talented, long, aggressive and with a star in Diggins-Smith. But winning won't come easy in one of the deepest WNBA fields in recent memory, and the Wings will need to prove they belong amongst the upper echelon of the WNBA.

Love To Orlando/
by Brandon Nappi
The thoughts and prayers of the Copper Beech Institute community extend to all those in Orlando and throughout our world who live with the daily reality of cruelty and violence. Violence is the result of fear, confusion, and pain. People do not hurt others because they are mean or evil. They hurt others because they are suffering, and they falsely believe their violence will relieve their pain and those they care about. The most important thing that any of us can do right now is take care of our pain.
Mindfulness is a way to work with our pain so that we do not create more suffering for ourselves and for others. Pain that is not transformed within us will be transferred to others outside of us. What is not healed within us will be inflicted upon others. This willingness to meet our own pain with courage and mindfulness is a supreme act of love and compassion.
Of course, the practice of mindfulness does not free us from the sadness, pain and violence so present in our world. Mindfulness is not an escape from the challenges of our day. Rather, when we are grounded in the present moment, the energy of mindfulness brings great relief as we see life clearly, free from the prison of hatred and false judgments. So the question is not only what does mindfulness free us from, but also what does mindfulness free us for. While our practice relieves our own suffering, it also frees us to love. Maintaining open hearts when we are vulnerable to being hurt by others is the courageous work of mindfulness. Our practice allows us to stand peacefully amid not knowing the answers or even knowing the questions to ask.
May the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu comfort and challenge in these wrenching days: If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, There must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, There must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart.
Amid the sadness, confusion, and anger of this week, may we find a way to be responsive without being reactive. May we find a way to love without being consumed with the very hatred that leads to violence. May the violence so commonplace in our world today inspire us to deepen our own practice of kindness and love. May we practice compassion for ourselves as we seek understanding in a confounding time. May we practice compassion for those who are directly touched by violence. May we practice compassion even for those who seek to end their own suffering by causing the suffering of others.
Still trusting in goodness,

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Christians must pass on the faith by giving witness through their example and not by persuading others to choose sides, Pope Francis said.
"Transmitting the faith isn't proselytism; it is another thing, it is greater. It isn't looking for people who support this soccer team, this club, this cultural center. This is good, but for faith, proselytism doesn't work," the pope said in his homily May 3 during morning Mass at the Domus Sanctae Marthae.
Reflecting on the day's first reading, in which St. Paul reminds the community of Corinth to "hold fast to the word I have preached to you," the pope said that the transmission of faith isn't simply "giving information" to others but is passing on the faith one has received.
Faith is also passed on through generations of grandmothers, mothers and even caretakers who not only do so through words, but with "caresses" and with "tenderness," he said.
Citing his predecessor, retired Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Francis emphasized that faith in others "grows by attraction, by giving witness" to one's life which in turn "stokes curiosity in the hearts of others."
"When this coherence in life is seen in what we say, there is always curiosity: 'Why do I live this way? Why don't I live a life of service for others?' And that curiosity is the seed that is taken by the Holy Spirit and he carries it forward," the pope said.

The historic heart of Stanley
Falkland Islands Museum & National Trust
In April, Tasmin Tyrrell made a university trip to Poland and Germany where she visited the Auschwitz concentration camps. In June, Tasmin presented a slide show and gave a talk to the Past Finders about her experiences there and about the events of World War II. Even though this is a difficult subject, the children asked many insightful questions and were interested to learn about the atrocities of the Holocaust and were shocked by the amount of people who died at the hands of the Nazis. 17 million people altogether, 6 million of whom were Jewish people and 1.5 million people in Auschwitz-Birkenau alone. Tasmin also showed them pictures of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe she visited in Berlin and talked about the life of Oscar Schindler and how his actions saved the lives of just over one thousand Jewish people.

Upcoming Release!
I've been busy at not getting much done, in the way of writing. I'm sure there are plenty of people who know how that feels. I'm praying that after this semester in school (oh yeah, definitely looking forward to a break after these past few months), I'll be able to set more serious time aside for writing and less for studying. Trust me, I much rather write some fun books than research papers, lol!
I do have great intentions. I have started the third novel in the Casanova Cowboys series, and it might take a little longer to complete than expected. The Ryder in this one is pretty beat up, both physically and mentally (can't give too much away here), and I've been doing extra research (shhh, it's not for school, lol) to make sure I connect with readers. I'm hoping his character will really leave a mark in your hearts when he emerges 🙂
I am also hoping to finish the vampire novel I've been chatting up. I had a devastating blow when I lost a nice chunk of the book in some cyber void, and trying to rewrite something that I felt worked perfectly the first time around is more daunting than I ever imaged. This isn't the first time I have lost work, but is the first time I nearly lost a completed manuscript less than two chapters away from being completed. Hopefully it will continue to come back to me while I'm trying to get a tech wizard to work some magic for me.
And to the exciting news…
Mandy's Homebound Cowboys is coming out on April 4th and is available for pre-order now (Excerpts will be coming soon: www.bookstrand.com/mandys-homebound-cowboys). I loved writing Mandy, the spunky red-head that knows just how to put her two men in their place. Brody was a pleasure-in all ways-and Craig's soft side beneath his bristly front definitely makes my heart flutter. Be sure to check it out, and as always, I love to hear from my readers!
[Ménage Amour: Erotic Cowboy Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, light bondage, spanking, sex toys, HEA]
Mandy Pearson has fantasized about brothers Brody and Craig Ryder for years. Problem is, Brody has never paid her mind and Craig wants nothing more than friendship. When the two brothers return to Ryder after the unexpected death of their father, nothing can prepare her to become the center of their hungry attention. Her excitement is overshadowed by the potent bad blood, caused by Craig's ex three years prior, that still runs between her sexy cowboys.
From the moment he returns to Ryder, Brody has his eye on Mandy. The once-scrawny, redheaded tattle-tale from his youth has blossomed into a hot, young woman he desires more than a riled crowd at one of his concerts.
When Brody and Craig learn they are vying for the same woman's heart, will the betrayal from their past destroy their chance of a future with Mandy?

I would love to hear from you if you've read any of the previous BML books (if you haven't, it will NOT affect your chances of winning 🙂 ). Which was your favorite story? Why?
So I leave you with a brand new excerpt from Wild Mates, just a small taste of the battle Jordan faces between the evil inside him and the woman who he blames for it.
I look forward to hearing from everyone!
"May I use the bathroom?" she asked, the hyper-timid tone of her
voice pulling him up short. He took a drink of his beer and cast her a
masked glance over his shoulder. Her fingers knotted against her lap.
Her eyes fluttered toward him and just as quickly lowered to the floor.
He gave her credit. She knew how to play submissive very well.
"You haven't been home all day," she reminded quietly.
Jordan let out an exasperated sigh and turned to her. He eyed her,
banishing the urge to release her from the constraints. Cautiously, he
allowed his nudging wolf the chance to brush alongside hers for a
better understanding of her game. To his disappointment, he sensed
no deception. Instead, an unexpected tinge of innocence flowed
through her spirit. He narrowed his eyes on her, curiosity rooting deep
in his soul.
He crossed the room, drawing out the key to the padlock. After
separating the collar from the chain, he motioned to the bathroom.
Lilia ducked her head as she passed him.
"Door open," he growled when she began to close it. Her gaze
lifted to him, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. He arched a
brow, lifting the beer to his lips. "You stole modesty from your
victims. You deserve none here."
He didn't take his eyes off her, making a point that he watched
every damn move she made, until she lowered herself to the toilet.
Even in his state of turmoil, he couldn't bring himself to invade every
aspect of Lilia's privacy.
Turning away, he began picking up tufts of foam and tossing them
onto the mattress, trying to ignore the faint throb haunting his cock.
The longer he ignored the attraction to his enemy, the calmer the beast
"I can help you clean up," Lilia offered, stepping into the room.
Jordan flashed her a perturbed glance and pointed to the chain on the
wall. Lilia frowned. "I'm not going to try to escape."
"I don't want your help." Jordan swept an arm across the room.
"This is what your help created."
He grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the corner, making
quick work of securing her with the chain leash. Her stomach growled
as she lowered herself to her knees on the scrap of a blanket he
must've cast aside during the night.
Jordan kicked the roll toward her with the toe of his boot and went
about cleaning up the mess of his room.
"There are more wolves roaming the forest. They're ruined
wolves, dangerous and feral. Eva didn't finish reprogramming them.
They're broken. They have no control. All they know is the hunt, the
bloodlust that consumes them until it's slaked."
Jordan tucked the splintered pieces of wood into the gaping
mattress, giving into his wolf's curiosity about Lilia's claim. He,
however, wouldn't give her the satisfaction of lending her an ounce of
his physical attention, despite the growing desires churning in his gut.
He scented her musk, the subtle hints of her arousal after her acute
perusal of his backside. Her fucking wolf slinked closer to his, her
head bowed in submission. She knew her alpha and knew her place
with him. What disturbed him most was the reaction his spirit had to
His wolf coaxed her closer, offering her the comfort he did not
want to give her in physical form. When that damn beast reared up,
jowls pulled back from sharp white teeth, Lilia's wolf quivered but
did not back down.
The spiritual standoff shook his thoughts.
"I'm not sure what Eva did to them," she continued, her words
heavy with concern. "These are different than the originals. They're
uncontrollable, which makes them extremely dangerous. Eva wanted
them to hunt the whites, but I think these will hunt anything."
Jordan rested his beer bottle on the floor and gathered the fan
motor with its dangling wires and broken blades. He shoved it deep
into the mattress with a grunt.
"My sister has deceived me in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if
she was creating a new breed of were."
There was an edge to her words, a tension that made his wolf
bristle in response to the beast threatening Lilia. Everything in this
moment wound together, making little sense to him but causing an
unnerving reaction within his soul. He stopped himself from turning
and giving her his full attention, jamming more foam between the
"I wish you would speak with me," Lilia said quietly.
Jordan scowled silently to himself. Yeah, he wanted to say a few
things to her, things that he had no right to say after everything she
caused for him and Kasa. He wanted to acknowledge her arousal,
slake his own hunger, and forget the past.
Lifting the mattress onto its side, ensuring none of his deeply
packed contents came loose, he slid the mattress through the doorway,
lending the only sounds to the room other than her breathing and the
occasional rattle of her chain leash.
Jordan didn't spare her a glance on his way out. He feared his own
sanity would be lost if he looked upon her pitiful expression. These
short stints in her presence wore on him more than the war with the
beast. His wolf recognized a sign so primitive that even he couldn't
deny it, but he would.
He plucked out the two bundles of rope he'd bought earlier and
turned his attention away from the tumultuous thoughts long enough
to haul the mattress into the bed of his truck and tie it down.
There would be plenty of time to wage a new war between wolf
and beast.

Federal government urges caution when buying digital coins or tokens08.07.18
When it comes to digital coins or tokens, it's best to approach with caution, ask plenty of questions and conduct extensive research before making an investment, warns the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC").
Given the novelty of the market combined with the relatively short operating history of the businesses offering digital coins and tokens, the CFTC is warning customers that there is no widely accepted standard for valuing digital coins or tokens, which may put customers and any money invested at risk.
Additionally, the CFTC highlights the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") recent position that, depending on the circumstances, digital coins and tokens may be considered securities that are subject to the federal securities laws. In particular, where buyers are promised a return on their investment, a share of future returns related to specific projects or are relying on a profit due to increased popularity and value, the SEC may determine that the digital coin or token is a security under U.S. securities laws. Accordingly, when coins or tokens are determined to be securities, the coins or tokens may not be lawfully sold to the public unless they are registered with the SEC or are issued pursuant to an exemption from registration.
The classification of digital coins and tokens highlights interesting developments regarding regulatory agencies' oversight and enforcement abilities. Specifically, while the CFTC agrees with the SEC's position that some coins and tokens may be considered securities, the CFTC maintains that some digital coins and tokens can also be derivatives or commodities, depending on how they are structured.
As recently as July 12, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York held that cryptocurrency fraud, when the cryptocurrency is considered a commodity, is subject to the CFTC's anti-fraud and anti-manipulation enforcement authority (See Commodity Futures Trading Comm'n v. McDonnell, 287 F. Supp. 3d 213 (E.D.N.Y. 2018), adhered to on denial of reconsideration, --- F. Supp. 3d ---, No. 18-CV-361, 2018 WL 3435047, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 117939 (E.D.N.Y. July 16, 2018)).
In any event, the risk investors face in this context is rooted in classification uncertainty. Indeed, the legal classification of any given digital coin or token is invariably subject to fact-intensive standards. The various regulatory agencies' misaligned regulatory interests regarding classification, moreover, amplify investors' risk by adding uncertainty regarding the appropriate agency for enforcement actions. Such uncertainty has been augmented as recently as July 27, 2018 when the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") also alerted investors of its regulatory role and reaffirmed the CFTC and SEC concerns regarding investor risk associated with initial coin offerings ("ICOs").
Since the cryptocurrency boom in 2017, the CFTC, SEC, and FINRA have each noted that while ICOs may provide honest and new investment opportunities, fraud is becoming increasingly prevalent.
Accordingly, prior to purchasing coins or token in an ICO, the CFTC, SEC, and FINRA are urging investors to conduct extensive due diligence on any individuals and entities listed as affiliates of an ICO, review the white paper or development plan for the coin or token, understand the rights as a holder of the coin or token and to ask questions about the coins or tokens and whether they are securities and if the offering is being registered with the SEC. Additionally, the CFTC notes that it is important to weigh factors that could impact the long-term value of the coin or token, including:
- The potential for forks in open-source applications that could split away market participants, increase the number of digital coins, or make your coins obsolete.
- Decreasing mining or validation costs (if the price is tied to those factors).
- Acceptance of other currencies, coins, or tokens for offered goods and services.
- The link between the value of a digital coin or token and the offered product or service.
- Adoption of the digital coin or token as a broad medium of exchange or store of value.
- Future competitors or technological changes that could disrupt the underlying business.
- Future demand or uses for an application, network, product, or service.
- Liquidity in the market for a specific digital coin or token.
- Changes to the underlying technology that could devalue your digital coins or tokens.
- Risk of theft from hacking.

To realize this multi-national production, the Northern Digital Film Company Helsinki Ltd. (NDFC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at SIGGRAPH 2011 with Chinese animation house Crimson Forest VFX/Animation Studio (CFX) to co-produce the full-length animation feature. SIGGRAPH is the world's leading annual industry conference on computer graphics, motion picture, animation and video games.
The story is based on the famous Nordic legend Kalevala – a series of epic mythologies dating back over 3,000 years from the hinterlands and kingdoms of ancient Finland.
THE SAMPO is budgeted at USD $10m and will be released in the first quarter of 2014. The movie will be released with a complete set of games and interactive social media for all major platforms. It will feature the latest CGI technology to help bring one of Europe's oldest and most powerful myths to life. THE SAMPO has received support from The Finnish Film Foundation and the first distribution agreement was signed with FS film for Finland.
The NDFC chose their partner carefully – the story of Kalevala is one of Finland's most important tales, and has also served as an influence for J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion works. In the manner of all epic stories, the tale pulls at heartstrings and emotion as the hero battles his foes, himself, his people, and the one he loves.
"In Crimson Forest VFX/Animation Studio (CFX) we found a partner that we could communicate with flawlessly, and who also has the experience combined with the enthusiasm that will help launch what we hope is a series of animations based on the Kalevala legends," explained Kare Hellén, CEO of NDFC.
Jon Chiew, the General Manager of Crimson Forest VFX/Animation Studio (CFX), explained that "this is the perfect project to show our 3D technology and abilities as there is a huge demand for stereoscopic films in the market now."
The story is an adventure and fantasy tale, evolving around the life of a young blacksmith who cheats death to find he has special powers. The amulet he forges, "The Sampo," brings with it not only fame and power, but also intertwines him in an epic battle of kings and kingdoms.
Crimson Forest VFX/Animation Studio (CFX) COO and animation team leader Andy Chen, a veteran of Dreamworks and the US animation industry, said, "This is the perfect film to show our capabilities – from the original storyboard and art concepts all the way to 3D stereoscopic application and final renderings. It is a pleasure to work with the top flight team and show them the quality and speed we are capable of."
Kare Hellén, the CEO and founder of NDFC, is the concept creator of THE SAMPO and Publishing Director of the games. He has 15 years experience in computer animation and game production.
Jan Wellmann, Executive Producer for the film, notes that "THE SAMPO is a timeless coming of age story about man's inner transformation; it has enormous worldwide commercial potential because of it's ability to transgress cultural and demographic boundaries – which is also reflected by the composition of the unique production team."
Director Kari Juusonen is known for Niko and the Way to the Stars, a €6.1m animated feature released in 16 countries, and Niko 2. He is a recipient of the Prix du Jury for Cannes Short Film. Writer Leo Viirret has worked on over 20 features, including Jade Warrior. He is a recipient of the Venla Award for International Dramaturgist.
Crimson Forest VFX/Animation Studio (CFX), is currently finishing up its first full-length feature animation, the Bull Brothers, slated for domestic release in 2012. The 90-minute film features the voices of Hong Kong heavyweight actor and singer Andy Lau, starlet Shu Qi, as well as veteran actor Zhang Guoli and singer/actor Wilber Pan, among others.

For years, NLU's Brad Olson, Ph.D., and a few other hardy souls were dissenters–the lone voices protesting the American Psychological Association's close relationship with U.S. military officials who were practicing torture on terrorism suspects.
Last year, the APA did an about-face, with its membership voting overwhelmingly to ban psychologists from assisting the U.S. military with interrogations and subsequent torture of terrorism suspects.
Now, to complete the 180-degree change in its position on torture, APA is honoring Olson, whom the association once criticized for his stance against the association's close ties to the torture process. Actually, Olson is receiving two separate awards from two different APA divisions.
The Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict and Violence, which is Division 48 of the American Psychological Association, is awarding Olson its Outstanding Service Award. It is given to an individual who has, "through an innovative vision and hard work, advanced the mission and goals of the Society." It will present the award at the APA Convention Aug. 6 in Denver.
That's a remarkable shift from the early 2000s. Then, APA leadership tweaked the association's ethics policies to allow psychologists to participate with U.S. government departments, including the CIA and Department of Defense, on national security interrogations. Olson and about five other psychologists responded by forming the Council for an Ethical Psychology and spent nine years protesting that decision.
In approximately 2002-2009, advice from military-friendly psychologists allowed military officials to more effectively torture terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay and other CIA "black sites", with the aim of extracting information from them. Techniques included sleep deprivation, extreme temperatures, solitary confinement and physically uncomfortable positions.
Earlier this year, the Society for Community Research and Action , which is Division 27 of the American Psychological Association, announced it would honor Olson with its 2016 Special Contribution Award for his work holding APA's feet to the fire to ensure the organization did not turn a blind eye to torture practices at Guantanamo Bay. Division 27 plans to present the award at the APA convention in Denver, just like Division 48.
About the APA's Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict and Violence: Peace Psychology Division (Division 48): The Society works to promote peace in the world at large and within nations, communities and families. It encourages psychological and multidisciplinary research, education and training on issues concerning peace, nonviolent conflict resolution, reconciliation and the causes, consequences and prevention of violence and destructive conflict. The division fosters communication among researchers, teachers and practitioners who are working on these issues and are applying the knowledge and methods of psychology in the advancement of peace and prevention of violence and destructive conflict. The division seeks to make connections between all areas of psychological work and peace and welcomes participation from all areas of the discipline. A division journal, Peace and Conflict:The Journal of Peace Psychology, is published quarterly.

I was parked in one of the non-registered spots in the middle of the lot. I arrived about 10:15 (I'm guessing at the time from IM messages to Brad). At 11:50 or so, I went out to the parking lot, exhausted from hacking, and discovered that my car was missing. I was overwhelmed to the point of tears. I checked the other cars in the parking lot (quickly, because there were only four of them), and considered walking around the block to check whether I had parked elsewhere, but I clearly remembered where I had parked in the lot.
Then I got enough of a grip to realize that it might have been towed instead of stolen. I went back up to Apple, called Lori to come pick me up, and called the towing company. Their answering machine redirected me to another number, which connected me to an actual human driving a tow truck. He confirmed that he had towed a grey Honda Accord. He told me that it would require $140 to release the car, cash-only. I asked how to go about contesting the charge, since I was an Apple employee and had been working there. He said that he was just an employee, and the boss who was authorized to make such decisions was out of town until Monday, so my best approach was to pay the $140 and then take it up with the boss on Monday. He was pleasant and apologized for the inconvenience.
I was, however, worried about getting ripped off, so before Lori and I left Apple, I printed up two copies of a note that said, in effect, "I towed Ralph's car tonight; he paid me $140 to retrieve it; he showed me his Apple badge proving that he's an Apple employee." My intention was to build an ironclad case for arguing with the boss, or for taking him to small claims court if necessary.
As Lori and I left, she realized that she had a flat tire. (Not out of air, but very low.) I found a penny in the parking lot, and she quoted "find a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck." I pointed out that since it was just after midnight, we'd get almost 24 hours of good luck, and boy we could sure use it.
We went into the BP next door, but their air machine was out of order; fortunately, the Citgo up the street had a working air machine. But it really seemed that we were
I withdrew cash from the Dollar ATM and we headed down to the intersection in Hazelwood that the guy on the phone had given us. We then called him on Lori's cell phone, and he said that he would drive by in a couple minutes and we were to follow him. This seemed very cloak-and-daggerish, but I guess it was easier than having him try to give directions on the phone.
Once we got there, the guy was totally obliging; he apologized for the inconvenience and didn't charge me anything. He said that he had no way of knowing that I was there, because the Apple lights were dark; I pointed out that the lights for the common area were visible from the street side, but not from the parking lot side. (The next time I'm there late, I'll turn on the lights in Roger's office.)
I asked if it would have helped for me to have displayed the parking permit more prominently. I didn't completely follow his response because I was pretty tired, but I think he said, "No, we had no way of knowing that there was anyone there."
He did give me a business card and suggested that I display it on the dash as a hint to them for the future.

Splendid tank top, J Brand shorts, Ash boots, Agent Provocateur Love lingerie I've always been a fan of faded black denim- it's one of those things that looks ridiculous if you're very grunge to begin with, but with a stance like mine, it kind of balances you out. I am particularly loving this with the pearl necklace.
This is how it looks when you're doing your Tracy Anderson routine:
Actually, this pose displays the booties perfectly: I love love love these. I'm wearing my Jalouse boots so much, I thought I would try this style (Spiral) which is practically identical, but with a wider front and a zipper, and even more comfortable. They look a little less sexy and are a little more casual but I think I prefer them.
Here are the favourite booties again, this time with my favourite combo of 2nd day (LOVE THIS) drapey racerback tank and wildfox jeans. It's been boiling hot over here, we've lived in the park in our bikinis throwing
wine water over ourselves.
My bag is Ted Baker from ages ago, I love it, it washes very nicely. I love great canvas bags.
Me & Julie are competing over who has the shortest shorts right now.
Now some park action in Primrose Hill with T the usual suspect and our theatre friend D who joined us.

Millennial Buyers Want More (Not Less) Square Footage/
A recent Trulia survey shows that 20- and 30-somethings crave space to roam at home.
When it comes to millennials, minimalism is in — from "norm core" fashion on the runways (see: fanny packs and "sensible" shoes) to the tiny-house movement, as parodied on a recent episode of Portlandia.
So to find out what's trending when it comes to square footage, Trulia surveyed more than 2,000 people across multiple cities, lifestyles, and generations — and the results for millennials surprised us.
Despite the fact that 20- and 30-somethings are typed by "simple-ing down" everything from how they dress to how they invest, more than any other generation, the numbers reveal that they're not ready to ditch all of their creature comforts just yet.
Millennials are generally dreaming of bigger — not smaller — places to live.
Yes, this generation has been statistically shown to be more eco-focused (and carbon footprint–conservative) than its predecessors.
But Trulia Housing Economist Ralph McLaughlin may have said it best in a recent article about housing-size preferences: Even environmentally conscious millennials aren't immune to wanting more elbow room at their tables.
According to McLaughlin, "They're looking to move on up by a big margin: just over 60% told us their ideal residence is larger than where they live now — the largest proportion among the generations in our [multigenerational survey] sample."

Metal Roof Jackson Ga – Are you in the market for a new roof? If this is so, then you are going to find there are many options out there in the roofing industry. These choices can vary from several variants of asphalt shingle types to a lot of versions of metal panels. Among the many questions which are presented to an expert contractor is " can metal roof be set up over shingles?" . The simple answer is yes. We'll analyze these measures in greater detail to help determine if retrofitting a metal roof over an present asphalt shingle roof is an innovative idea.
There are several things you should consider before choosing to put in a metal panel roof over an present asphalt shingle roof. The first thing that has to be determined is if the roof plywood or plank board decking is secure and solid beneath the existing roof. Basically, the roof tiling shouldn't be ruined by water entering the old roofing in any pinhole or some additional penetration inside the subject of the roof. This may require a small investigative work prior to installing the new metal roofing. It's highly recommended, to inspect all of roof decking and framing from the attic side of this roofing.
metal roofing pole barns
One has to look for dark spots, moldy spots, water paths on plywood or roof tiling, and or some cracked or cracked rafters. This needs to be performed with good care, for one mistake can damage your ceilings or lead to significant harm to oneself. Following these items have been validated to be okay, then, the next step is to begin preparing the roofing. New 1×4 wood strips must be installed horizontally and vertically every 24 inches across the roofing plane on the horizontal from bottom to top. Following this is complete along with a holistic approach to the entire roof, then, it is time to put in the roof panels.

Be cautious that all roof penetrations will need to be flashed with flashing boots which will work with the metal panel chosen for the roofing application. In this step, picking the metal panel is critical to the longevity of roof life. You will find metal panels which float to that would on the surface of the metal that is simply nothing more than just fancy barn tin. The problem with fancy barn tin panels is that the rubber dishwashers will dry rust and fail, thus, creating a roof leak that may undermine all the reason a metal roof was chosen to begin with.
An easy way to avert the face stained roof stuff is to use a hidden fastener metal plank. These types of panels are known as standing metal seam. It's highly recommended when picking a metal roofing to consider durability. Succinctly expressed, a hidden fastener panel will last the entire life of this metal with minimal likelihood of leaks aside from failing roof penetrations over time.This is ordinary to all roofing types.

RSS feeds are a fantastic way to promote your blog – if you do it right. You probably already know that blogging can be a great way to earn some extra cash, but did you know that having an RSS feed will help you make money blogging?
Unless you opted to not have a feed, when you first registered to your blogging website there's a good chance that you did not disable the RSS feed option. A lot of new bloggers forget that they do have this capability, or they simply don't know how to utilize it properly. Let's start with the basics and begin by talking about what an RSS feed even is.
What Is An RSS Feed?
If you're new to blogging and really have no idea what an RSS feed is, don't worry; they're easy to figure out, and once you do figure them out you'll be able to promote your blog and generate traffic more than you ever thought possible!
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication," though it used to be referred to as an RDF Site Summary. All that this type of feed is, is a web-derived news feed that will keep a subscriber to a particular website or blog up to date on what's happening with it. So say you subscribe to a particular news website. When ever a new article or entry is put on that site, it will show up on the RSS feed. Sometimes the text that is included is the full story, or sometimes it is a summarized version of an article or blog entry.
In order to be able to read an RSS feed, a user will need to download feed reader or aggregator software. Then, a user can subscribe to a feed simply by inputting the feed's URL, or you can click on a handy "feed" icon that may be provided on the web browser. The reader will then check all of the sites that you have subscribed to on a frequent basis, and it will tell you when ever there is an update.
So how can you take advantage of this to help promote your blog?
Update Your Blog, And Update It Often
The most important thing that any blogger can do is make sure that they are continually updating their blog. Nothing will kill off your traffic and ranking in search results more than having old, stale material. Keeping regular updates will keep you connected with your followers, as well as keep the search engines continually indexing your information.
Write A Unique Excerpt For Your Blog
The best way to optimize your blog in RSS is to write a unique and compelling excerpt for the feeder to pick up on. The excerpt needs to include links that will invite them to your blog so that they can check out the post, BUT you want to make sure that the excerpt does not actually have the same words or the same phrases as your original entry.
You may be wondering why this is important. There is a lot of blog post stealing out there, and people will hunt down your posts by keyword and steal them based on keywords their RSS feed is picking up on. If you have different words or phrases in the excerpt that are not in the blog, then their aggregator or reader will not be able to "steal" your blog post, but you will still be promoting your blog through RSS AND those who are trying to rip off your posts and other content will be giving you valuable backlinks.
TIP: It's always a good idea to write your excerpts using well researched tertiary keywords. You can use a number of free tools such as Google Analytics and Google AdWords to come up with some great tertiary keywords.
It's also a good idea to have content that will draw people in. Some ideas that are great for anyone with a blog to include in their feed include:
- Any information on what's new with their website or company
- Their quote, picture, or thought of the day
- "How-To" articles
- Lists of anything (such as "Top 10 Travel Locations" or "The Worst Dressed Celebrities")
Other compelling titles include information about offers that you may be making (i.e. "Join now to win a free trip to Jamaica"), or taking the time to advertise something that may be happening with your blog, like a blogathon or having a guest blogger.
Take Advantage Of RSS Autodiscovery
A lot of new bloggers have never heard of RSS autodiscovery. This neat feature will allow aggregators and web browsers alike to detect your blog's RSS feed. In order to use this feature, all you need to do is include a bit of code to the head section of your blog's template. The code is:
link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
href="INSERT YOUR WEBSITE HERE"
Make sure that you surround the code with "", and you're set.
Utilize Feedburner To Promote Your Blog
What you will first want to do is sign up for the Google-owned service, Feedburner. This tool will allow you to easily manage each one of your RSS feeds as well as track the feeds' usage.
TIP: Try enabling the MyBrand feature in Feedburner. This will allow the feed to be hosted on your domain rather than the Feedburner domain.
Another neat feature to Feedburner is that it will allow you to count the number of subscribers you have, as well as allow you to compare that number to the subscribers on other blogs. If you have a lot of RSS subscribers (we're talking a few hundred) then you should brag about it! Show the count on your blog. Having the social proof that you are at least somewhat of an expert in your particular niche will definitely drive up more traffic.

Stop using Instagram bots and automation, please.
Instagram is such a fun platform because there is such a sense of community. For the brands I work with watching people share, comment, and talk about the brand on Instagram is really exciting. You can find inspiration, ideas, friends and clients all in one place. But unfortunately, I'm forced to roll my eyes daily at accounts who are actually PAYING money for the "benefit" of having a high follower count. Sorry, it doesn't work like that.
It's becoming really popular for bloggers and small business owners to purchase Instagram automation techniques to try to grow their accounts and increase their likes. Have you ever gotten comments on your page that are generic and boring, mentions like, "great!" Sometimes you get the, "nice pic!" Others go as far to include an emoji of no relevence to your page.
Yeah, those are fake. The accounts are real, probably run by people who have blogs, influencers accounts, or small businesses looking to grow their channels but the comments are dead. They are generated by a computer, and the comments are designed to be able to be posted on ANY photo. So unfortunately, no real person actually went out of their way to comment "great" on your photo.
Why would people use these generators?
Many people get into social media and quickly develop the idea that they need to get likes and followers. If you use organic Instagram growth strategies, your account will grow slowly and most people don't have the patience for that. They want an "insta-famous" account, and they want it now.
That sounds great, why wouldn't you want to do that?
The likes and followers that you gain from these automation programs aren't going to be the kind of likes and followers you're hoping for, the comments and likes you're telling the robot to leave are fake and the followers and likes you get are just that, fake. The more followers you have doesn't directly mean you'll instantly be making tons of money, your services will go viral, your feed will be talked about - no, not with automation. The new followers aren't going to be genuinely interested in your account and about half of the time, they're spam accounts that follow anyone who follows them. If you grow your account slowly, using real Instagram strategies you'll end up building a community, a community of people who are genuinely interested in your account and feed.
You also risk the chance of your account being SHUT DOWN.
Instagram will figure you out if you're following 7000 accounts a day, liking 2000 photos, and commenting "wow" on 1000 images a day. This is against Instagram's terms of use, and if caught - they will close your account. It happens all the time.
Overall, these programs will do what they say - grow your followers and likes exponentially. However, the new followers you gain are not valuable for your brand, and the impression you leave on other accounts with your blanket comments can be damaging.
Social media takes patience, it does. If you use the right strategies and grow your account the right way, you'll find yourself with a community of really well-intentioned followers and clients who are interested in your products and services. Isn't that the goal in the first place?

Bengaluru: Miscreant touts made a mockery of the Karnataka Examination Authority(KEA) on Monday, by pasting "Mutual transfer" advertisements on its walls, beckoning parents to contact if interested in swapping seats for choice colleges, for their wards. The advertisements displayed mobile numbers that could be dialed to reach people, who could turn dreams into reality by making the mutual transfer of medical seats possible.
The KEA officials who went about their job of seat allotments declared the pin ups on the walls as illegal.The officials alerted the parents by revealing that the NEET 2017 rules did not entertain mutual swapping of seats
"Mutual transfers are completely banned. It is not allowed directly, nor through any authority. If there are any ads put up, they are illegal and parents should not consider them," said S Sacchidanand, Director Medical Education, Karnataka, while speaking to TOI.
The advertisements are quite blatant and direct in nature. One of them read, "MBBS students looking for a transfer to Srinivasa Medical College, Mangalore, from any Bangalore/Dharwad medical college can contact the number given below. Seat fee Rs 6.33 lakh."
Another called out, "Anyone interested in mutual transfer from Subbiah Dental College, Shimoga, to any dental colleges in Bangalore, Tumkur, and Hassan. Fees Rs 4.29 lakh."
A Senior KEA officials told TOI: "They are fake and middlemen are involved. We have been announcing this during our counseling announcements regularly. If they are offering mutual transfer in more than one city at once, they are dealers and will seek some commission. Parents should be wary of them."
When attempts were made to establish contact on the displayed numbers the voices on the other end expressed reluctance to talk over the phone and in some other cases, the commission agents were not reachable.

We pick up with Shawn's experience with Desmond Heeley at the Stratford Festival and move onto the Met and Shawn's design philosophy, discussing problems with the audience "humming the scenery" after the show. This episode is a great primer for how to approach a design, generate ideas, communicate with other artisans and build a show, as well as a frank discussion about starting a career in the theatre.

The Taxus Yew is the member of the Taxaceae family. The Taxus Yew plant is grown in native regions, northern areas, including America, Europe, Asia, Germany, etc.
This plant can live for years. The smaller Taxus confers grow 65-feet tall and produces a broad spread. The Taxus Yew plants or trees start out growing straight upright trunks along with branches.
The foliage is sparing, and rises at a slant. The top is spherical. Taxus Yew once it ages raises its branches. Taxus Yew is the evergreen family that grows needle-shaped plants with shimmering foliage. At the upper exterior, the Taxus Yew plant turns dark green.
The non-spiked plant grows underside center needles. The Taxus Yew plant should be kept free from horses, since the foliage is deadly. During March and/or April, the plant grows male and female fruits.
Taxus Yew is grown and trained as bonsai, yet the popular species is the Taxus cuspidata. The Taxus Yew plant derived from Korea, Japan, and native regions. Akin to the Taxus, cuspidata is the T.c. Cultivar 'Nana."
Taxus Yew breeds require care to propagate and germinate properly. You can grow the Taxus Yew plants from cuttings, or seedlings. Care may include layering, grafting, light exposure, ventilation, etc. You can also choose bonsai, or Taxus Yew and its family in nurseries and train them as bonsai.
During August and October, the Taxus Yew specimens' fruit will ripen. At this time, you want to pick the red fruits and extract the seeds. The Taxus Yew seeds should be freed under water. Once you extract the Taxus Yew seed, dry them, and allow them to form into layers until fall.
Use root-hormone compounds to promote plant growth prior to planting. In the month of May, the change in climate will start the growing from seed process, which is known as germination.
Cuttings should be taking from lignified shoots. You should cut the shoots in September. In the winter months, you want to plant the Taxus Yew seeds in a greenhouse. Start growing the Taxus Yew plants in boxes and once spring arrives the roots will start to grow, which then you can transplant the cuttings.
Tips: Cuttings include the leading shoots, lateral shoots, etc. To create a pyramid bonsai use the leading shoots. If you want to grow and shape spreading bonsai trees, use the lateral. Next, you want to consider weather you want to layer or graft your plants.
To choose layers, consider the branches that are low and supple. Once you select your branches, strip the needles from the section you want to plant. Travel across the bark, cutting it through and then soil and supply ample moisture.
Once the shoots start to develop, the roots will reveal itself, which you will need to cut through the layered roots. At this time, you can transplant the roots to a pot. To grow a healthy Taxus Yew or family member keeps the plant safe from frost and heat.
March and April is the best time to graft the Taxus Yew family. To start grafting use the veneer methods and wait a few weeks before you start to shorten the parts. You should faintly cut down the leading shoots. You can plant the grafts once the root used in grafting (rootstock) is amputated and the graft is taken at the highest peak.
If you choose nursery plants to train as bonsai, you want to select the healthiest specimens. If you want to grow the spreading trees, or the pyramid bonsai trees select nurseries with well-developed trunks, flickering, stalwart needles, high-quality branches, and a excellent rooting scheme. Now you can move to care for your bonsai once it starts to develop.

The plan was to climb Benbulbin, a 525m high distinctive tabletop mountain overlooking Sligo but it proved difficult to find out any info on the best way which seems to be a hidden secret. Web forums talk of an approach from the north but also mention recent access issues with an irate farmer. To avoid any confrontation I chose an eastern approach. I found the waymarked Dooneens Bog Road, a good track which allowed a quick ascent to the plateau. In spite of a gravel track, it was a pleasant run out under the blue skies. But then the track ended. Just like that. The summit looked tantalisingly close but I could see 4 kilometres of bog trotting lay ahead.
The Dooneens Bog Road was constructed by the Irish Land Commission to provide access to the plateau peat bogs for fuel when imports of oil and coal were restricted due to the Second World War although Ireland was neutral. The Land Commission was established in the 1880s to redistribute the lands of absentee landlords to their former tenants, provide fair rent control and security of tenure. The peat bogs themselves are no longer cut on Benbulbin but elsewhere they are a recognised source of fuel.
The attempt on the summit was abandoned leaving two choices: a backtrack or cut a loop off using Hudson's Road which turned out to be a tad difficult to follow, not as well constructed.

Omaha Hi-Lo – Win and the Win Again!
Omaha-Hi-Lo has basically all the same rules as its sister poker genre, PLO. However, there is one small difference. However, this small difference plays a significant role in how this game is played and the strategy involved. Omaha Hi-Lo is also a game of draws, but it does double duty with two hands splitting the winnings on the river – a high (Hi) hand and a low (Lo) hand!
There are other poker variations where the Lo hand wins. However, in Omaha Hi-Lo both the Hi and the Lo get to split the pot. These types of games are also called split games for this very reason. The best low hand in Omaha Hi-Lo is 5-4-3-2-A, a straight, also called the Wheel. The best high hand is a Royal Flush.
Learning how to play Omaha Hi Lo can take time. However, there are some basic Omaha Hi-Lo rules that can get you started down the right path.
Firstly, let take a quick look at how this game started.
A Quick History of Omaha Hi-Lo
There are two very interesting facts about the game of Omaha:
- The game of Omaha was most likely formed in the Detroit or Chicago areas in the late 1960s. It was not named after the city of Omaha, Nebraska.
- In the 1980s the game hit the poker rooms in Vegas, and the Hi-Lo split variation was added. However, Hi-Lo split games have been around since the early 1900s.
So, what has Omaha, NE have to do with the game? Well, this poker format – and its many variations - has been played all over the south-west regions in the US, therefore picking one location was difficult. Omaha seemed as good a choice as any, and so the name stuck.
Quick Guide to Omaha Hi-Lo
Before you get ready to take on the competition, let's go over some of the Omaha Hi-Lo rules:
- Omaha Hi-Lo has the table setup as in Hold'em or PLO with a Button, Small and Big Blind.
- Once again, the Blinds are forced bets that seed the pot.
- The Button is still the player who has position in every round after the flop.
- Players are dealt 4 hole cards, face down. However, you can and must choose only TWO of the four to play at showdown.
- After each deal, there is a round of betting. Players can check, fold, call, bet or raise – depending on the prior action.
- Your ultimate aim is to make the best 5-card high and/or low poker hands possible. You must use 2 of your 4 hole cards along with 3 of the 5 community cards to make your hand.
Keep in Mind:
- TWO of Four Cards: You can and must use only two of your hole cards to form the best high and/or low poker hands.
- More than Aces: Aces are a great starting hand in Omaha Hi-Lo. However, draws can be more valuable after the flop – and get you paid.
- Keep on Drawing: This poker format is a game of draws. Getting your money all-in with a juicy one is standard and good practice.
- Know How, When and What: Drawing in Hi-Lo is a MUST! That said, you should learn the ins and outs of drawing. When learning how to play Omaha Hi-Lo, you'll see that there are certain draws that can lock in the nut Lo and Hi hands. These are the types of hands you should play aggressively.
Ready to win TWICE? Let's play some Omaha Hi-Lo!

I watched an anime: Made in Abyss
"Hmm, over stylised characters. Nice colour palette. An unusual amount of discussion about buttholes".
Those were my initial thoughts as I dove headfirst into Made in Abyss, the new anime series based on Akihito Tsukushi's web manga of the same name. It's not often the phrase "An unusual amount of discussion about buttholes" is thrown around my notebook, but as I pressed on throughout the series it seemed the topic of, ahem, rusty plugholes popped its head up on more occasions than I think I can recall in all my years of watching anime.
Look, I don't want to make this review poop-chute centric, but so far I've counted at least 4 times there have been references to things being inserted in the back passages of our two protagonists. Children, mind you.
Poo shooters aside, I gotta say, so far this is a pretty great series.
It has all the hallmarks of a great adventure movie, but set in what appears to be an otherworldly locale that wouldn't be out of place in a Ghibli movie like Laputa: Castle in the sky or Katsuhiro Otomo's Steamboy. It's hard to explain, but it feels so genuinely authentic in the way it seems to buck the trends of traditional anime fan service and go back to basics with a good old fashioned Indiana Jones style fantasy adventure.
So what's it about? The story revolves around an orphan girl named Riko that lives in the town of Osu, a community that has been built on the side of a cavernous rift in the Earth's surface called The Abyss.
Osu is a thriving city that has become wealthy from the trade of artifacts found in The Abyss. The city's social order is a caste system, where the most revered members of society are the 'White Whistles', the heroic men and women of The Abyss that have travelled the deepest, discovered the most and chartered more undiscovered landscapes than anyone else.
Of course there is a downside to travelling in The Abyss – The best relics are found in the furthest reaches and are protected by a mysterious curse. The further you go down, the harder it is to come back up.
Upon receiving a message from deep in The Abyss, Riko and her new robot friend Reg descend deep into the Earth's surface to find her mother, Osu's most famous White Whistle, knowing very well that they'll never be able to return.
It's wonderfully simplistic in its approach and to be honest that's what adds to the appeal. Every episode isn't over complicated or weighted down with unnecessary exposition. The goal for our protagonists is simple: reach the bottom of The Abyss and find Riko's mother. Along the way we learn new things about each layer, avoid an ever evolving array of hideous monsters and meet the eccentric Abyss dwellers that have dedicated their lives to discovering the secrets of the last unexplored regions on Earth.
As the story progresses it feels like there is a strange hidden truth to origins of The Abyss and the long lost civilization that used to live there. Knowing there are 6 volumes of the manga already available to read, I get the feeling we're not going to uncover much as we hurtle towards the episode 13 season finale. Part of me is scared that the show is starting to slip way too much in the direction of not giving us much exposition at all, like other awesome series such as Darker than Black that have built exceptional worlds but give the audience so little information.
In the end though I don't think that's going to ruin my appreciation for the show, because just like Darker than Black, I feel like the air of mystery that surrounds the world the show has built simply adds to its mystique.
Part of me believes that we'll never really fully understand the Abyss, its curse or even if Riko's mother is alive at the bottom of it.
Visually, I genuinely enjoy the colour palette of the animation and at first the chibi style characters are distracting, but that soon disappears and before you know it the art style starts to grow on you.
On the surface it could be mistaken for being a cutesy-kawaii Kodomo anime series that obsessive NEET's would fawn themselves over, but when it comes down to it it's really not that at all. Don't let the art style fool you, it gets pretty dark in places and on numerous occasions I've had to look away from the screen because limbs were on the verge of being severed.
So what's the final verdict? If you can get your hands on it, definitely watch it. It's what I imagine Raiders of the Lost ark would be like if Indiana Jones didn't get involved with Nazi plots to take over the world and spent his time instead being chased by boulders and native South American tribes for hours on end. Throw a robot with a beam weapon in there and some Ghibli style monsters and you've got all the elements you'll need for this show.
Get on board. It's well worth it.
Oh and trust me about the butthole thing. You won't be able to miss it.

Pitkin Iron to get help from county
ASPEN – Homeowners who've grappled with the cost of water and septic system woes virtually since they moved into the Pitkin Iron worker housing complex outside of Woody Creek will get financial help from Pitkin County, to the tune of $62,305.That's the estimated cost of replacing two leach fields that are expected to fail. Homeowners have already incurred costs to repair and replace their water system and six leach fields, plus engineering fees and legal bills stemming from two lawsuits they pursued in response to the problems.In an impassioned debate Tuesday, county commissioners were sharply divided over how much to pay to help the homeowners association at Pitkin Iron, where 15 units are situated on a shelf of land below Highway 82 and above the Roaring Fork River, in unincorporated Pitkin County.Commissioner Rachel Richards pleaded with her colleagues to pick up the tab for replacing three leach fields (including one that has already been replaced) – about $93,000 – and Commissioner Michael Owsley concurred.Homeowners shouldn't have to shoulder the cost of all the water and septic repairs that arose after they bought brand new units back in 2001, Richards argued. In a decade, they've incurred bills totaling close to $200,000, including litigation, she noted. Work on the two remaining, questionable leach fields would bring the total to about $245,000."I think this is a pretty huge burden to put on 15 units," Richards said.The county at one time owned the Pitkin Iron property, including land on both sides of the river. Four free-market lots on the far side of the river were created as part of the project to help finance the worker housing. The county chose S & S Development to build the worker housing, and was repaid its land costs as part of the deal.Residents quickly discovered the well serving the development yielded such hard water that it was damaging plumbing and appliances. They split the cost of a water-softening system with the developers, but then discovered the salt produced by the system was damaging the leach fields serving the housing.They ultimately sued S & S and its partners, Tim Semrau (who would later serve as an Aspen city councilman) and Larry Saliterman, as well as their water engineers. A new well was drilled across the river, and a pipeline, attached to the old Pitkin Iron footbridge spanning the river, now serves the homes. They also sued the firm that recommended the soft-water system, but the suit was dismissed without a settlement in their favor."It wasn't done right in the first place. We were a partner in how it wasn't done right," Richards said of the housing project.Owsley had harsh words for the developers and suggested that the county failed to hold them responsible, but commissioners Jack Hatfield, Rob Ittner and George Newman balked at absorbing all of the cost of repairing three leach fields."You can't just come and expect a handout," Newman said."This is very troublesome," Hatfield said, pondering how many other homeowners associations would turn to the county for help covering costs because they lack an adequate capital reserve fund paid through homeowners' dues."Does that mean the associations line up at our door and come in and ask us for money? I hope not," he said.Some commissioners expressed surprise that Pitkin Iron homeowners' dues have remained unchanged since 2007. The dues range from $257 per month for a one-bedroom unit to $425 per month for the four-bedroom residence."I think my assessments have gone up twice since then," Hatfield said."They should be raised tomorrow, in my mind," Ittner said.Pitkin Iron representatives said some homeowners are struggling, but that dues will increase now that they know what help they can expect from the county. Richards hinted that foreclosure is a possibility for some at the email@example.com
