(Editor's note: This article is the first in a two-part series that examines the use of deed restrictions for affordable housing.)
Over several decades, Crested Butte Mayor Jim Schmidt has given countless hours serving his community. He's done so not by working a high-paying job, but by writing for the local newspaper, working at a sandwich shop and driving for Mountain Express.
His first job in the Gunnison Valley in 1976 paid $2.93 per hour, and he averaged about $1,000 monthly. But since then, he's spent many of his evenings at a Town Council or other community meeting.
"There's a saying — the only way to make a small fortune in Crested Butte is to start with a large one," Schmidt quipped.
Nearly two decades ago, Schmidt moved into a deedrestricted affordable housing unit in the Poverty Gulch neighborhood. He credits that move for allowing him to remain in the Gunnison Valley and have the time to give back to the community in which he lives.
"It's enabled me to not live paycheck to paycheck," said Schmidt, who was picked for his unit through a lottery. "That's the best part of it. Because I've been able to devote a lot of time to the town."
Affordable — or workforce — housing historically has been the means to equalize market forces which drive workers with lower incomes farther from the community in which they work. Such properties are maintained in affordable ranges through the use of deed restrictions, also known as restrictive covenants.
According to a 2016 housing needs assessment for the Gunnison Valley, 443 such units existed in the county. The document suggests that by 2020, 336 "catch-up" units must be built along with another 625 "keep up" units. A gap of 420 units has been identified as the number which will not be provided by the free market — 235 owned homes and 185 rentals.
Yet, between 2010 and 2016, only 77 deed-restricted, affordable units were added in Gunnison County. With only two years from the 2020 deadline, housing experts say filling the housing will take a dedicated funding stream to finance projects.
Issue 6A on the November ballot is intended to boost available funding for such projects. The 1.5 mill property tax — the majority of which would sunset in 10 years — is estimated to generate $880,000 annually for affordable housing.
Yet, housing experts say that with greater subsidy comes greater responsibility to protect the public's investment and maintain affordability, and that's where deed restrictions come in.
Taylored to a goal
Deed restrictions are a common method of making and keeping properties affordable, preserving them for the local workforce and preventing them from becoming second homes. They are utilized throughout the country but are particularly prevalent in resort communities where the gap between wages and property values is particularly wide.
There are several different elements which go into a deed restriction, depending on the goal. A deed restriction intended to provide housing for lowincome workers may be based on area median income (AMI). For example, a qualifying factor in renting an apartment may be 50 percent AMI, or perhaps for those purchasing a home, 100 percent AMI.
Also, to maintain affordability, a deed restriction may cap appreciation on the value of the home at resale. An allowance for three percent annual appreciation is a common restriction. That means the value of the home is not subject to large increases in price should the real estate market spike.
Yet, another element which could be restricted is occupancy. A "live-work" restriction means the property is reserved for those who work in the county, make the home their primary residence and earn, say, at least 80 percent of their income here. It is designed to keep a property from becoming a vacation home or a short-term rental.
Protecting public investment
Gunnison Valley Regional Housing Authority (GVRHA) Executive Director Jennifer Kermode said deed restrictions can combine several elements to accomplish a specific purpose. One of those aims — perhaps the most important — is to ensure public money is best utilized.
"The deeper the amount of subsidy in a home, the more requirements should be in a deed restriction," Kermode said.
Gunnison County and the City of Gunnison, Kermode said, follow a universal template drafted by GVRHA for deed restrictions. The Town of Mt. Crested Butte is working on following that standard. The Town of Crested Butte has several different types because of the number of years the town has offered them.
Yet, Kermode cautioned against deed restrictions including language that inadvertently strays from their purpose. For instance, in a recession, a homeowner may have to commute out of the county to stay employed, but a deed restriction may prohibit this due to a live-work requirement.
If the deed restriction instead reflects requirements on where a homeowner works based on the housing authority's guidelines, the condition could be adjusted in the guidelines without altering the deed restriction.
"In this instance we will allow people to work outside the county for 12 months and will review in a year," Kermode offered as an example of such flexibility.

Using Bjorn Lynne music in YouTube videos
Sometimes I get emails from people who wish to use my music in their YouTube videos, and they ask for my permission to do that.
To use my music in your YouTube videos, you have two choices:
1) You can just use it for free. There will probably be a "copyright claim" on your video, that appears automatically. This copyright notice does not cause the video to be blocked, and does not have any negative effect on your YouTube account. The only difference it makes is that you will not be able to monetize your video. While the copyright notice is on your video, I will receive some tiny amount for each view that your video gets (I believe it's something like $0.02 per 1,000 views). This money comes from YouTube/Google advertising -- it's not paid by you.
2) OR, you can purchase a commercial rights license to the music track. You can do that by going to www.Shockwave-Sound.com and buy the track from there. The price is around $30.00 or so, and that includes a commercial rights license to this music track. When you have this license, the "copyright claim" will be released from your video, and you may then also monetize your video, because then you have the commercial rights.
Buying a music track or album from iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon or some place like that does not give you the commercial rights to the track. Those purchases only gives you a personal listening license. Buying the track from Shockwave-Sound.com does give you the commercial rights.
So long as you are okay with the Copyright Notice existing on your YouTube video, from which I make some tiny income, then I'm okay with you using our music in your videos, for free.
Credits for the music is always expected -- regardless of whether you have bought a commercial use license or not. The same goes for all creative content that's part of your video -- you should always credit the creator(s).
If you wish to purchase a commercial rights license to a track that that track is not found at Shockwave-Sound.com (not all my music is for sale there), then just contact me personally and I will sell you a license directly.
Thank you!
Bjorn Lynne

Capital is a key measurement of a credit union's financial fortitude. It acts as a bulwark against losses and as protection for members during times of financial instability for the credit union. From a safety and soundness perspective, more capital is preferred.
FOCUS received a score of 6 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, less than the national average of 15.65.
FOCUS's capitalization ratio of 6.00 percent in our test was less than the average for all credit unions, suggesting that it could have a harder time weathering financial trouble than its peers.
In this test, Bankrate tries to determine the effect of problem assets, such as unpaid loans, on the credit union's capitalization and allocated loan loss reserves.
A credit union with a large number of these kinds of assets may eventually have to use capital to cover losses, decreasing its equity buffer. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the credit union, resulting in depressed earnings and potentially more risk of a future failure.
On Bankrate's asset quality test, FOCUS scored 36 out of a possible 40 points, falling short of the national average of 38.09 points.
A below-average ratio of troubled assets of 0.00 percent in our test was potentially indicative of superior financial strength compared to other credit unions.
A credit union's profitability affects its long-term survivability. Earnings may be retained by the credit union, expanding its capital buffer, or be used to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union better prepared to withstand economic trouble. Obviously, credit unions that are losing money have less ability to do those things.
FOCUS exceeded the national average on Bankrate's earnings test, achieving a score of 14 out of a possible 30.
One indication that the credit union is outperforming its peers in this area was its earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, better than the average for all credit unions.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

There are a lot of posts on the blog here about my novel, Jimmy Stu Lives!. Unfortunately none of them really tell you where to get the book, so I'm going to rectify that, but let me give you a thumbnail synopsis:
Jimmy Stu Sloan, minister of a nondenominational mega-church in Nashville, loses his faith in his old age. He convinces his congregation and TV followers that God has a mission for him in the far future and wants Jimmy Stu preserved via cryonics after his death. 140 years after dying, Jimmy Stu is reanimated to find that his church has become a major faith, which views him as a prophet, that churches have assumed the functions of political parties, and the US has fragmented into spheres of influence controlled by various faiths. Further, his church controls seven states in the upper south, and its leaders, who had not wanted him reanimated, would very much like to return him to "suspended animation." Jimmy Stu's efforts to survive involve him in mystery and new love, as he tries to confront the church he founded, deal with his own sense of guilt, and determine his place in the Twenty-second Century.
The e-book edition is available everywhere e-books are sold and goes for a great price: $2.99. I have a few of the sellers' links on hand and I'll paste them in here:

TROY — The Troy Planning Commission approved the preliminary plan for a new planned development at Washington Road near the McCurdy Road intersection on Wednesday.
A final plan will be reviewed by the commission and then forwarded onto Troy City Council for approval.
Troy Land Development Inc. owner Jessica Minesinger and Choice One Engineering filed an application for the planned development. The 33.371 acres are currently undeveloped and located on the east side of Washington Road near the McCurdy Road intersection. According to the application, the subdivision plans to have 50 lots from 0.344 acres to 0.796 acres in size. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a correction from Monday's preview). The minimum lot size for the lots is 15,000 square feet.
City council approved a rezoning request for the parcel from general agriculture to R-3 single family residential. The development will be a new subdivision called The Reserve at Washington.
The development seeks a two-phase development proposal with 26 lots in the first phase and 24 in the second. The homes are estimated to be valued at $325,000 to $400,000.
Larry Wolke asked who would be in charge of the landscape easements within the development. Planning and zoning manager Tim Davis said the homeowner's association would be responsible once the development is complete.
The plans include two access points, with the west access point off of Washington Road to serve as the main entrance and the second access point located to the east to connect to New Castle Drive. The development plans for two cul-de-sacs of Chapel Drive and West Minster Place and a horseshoe road to connect New Castle Drive named Chapel Drive East and Chapel Drive West.
The development will be served by city water and sewer. A retention area will be located in the southeast portion of the development. The board of park commissioner approved a fees in lieu of parkland proposal on Jan. 3, waiving the required 3 percent park land requirement.
The planning commission also approved a request for a zoning amendment for a planned development on 44 Peters Road. The request is for owner Jason Marko to construct a second, separate building of self-storage units. The property, on 1.117 acres, currently has one structure on the property built in 2016. The proposed development is a 30-foot by 220-foot building with 6,600 square feet of space. The self-storage facility is permitted with the requested M-2 light zoning district.
Council will review the request at a later date.
Planning Commission approved the following applications:
• Historic District application for 5 E. Main St. for a sign permit for ReU Juicery.
• Historic District application for 101 E. Water St. for fence modifications.
Commission also approved Alan Kappers as chairman and Jim McGarry as vice chairman for 2019. Kappers was not present at the meeting.

Product Branding
We'll let you into a little secret: designing packaging for food and drinks products is the holy grail to every graphic designer – we love it!
Being part of creating a brand narrative is exciting and gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling. The finished look of your product can be what makes or break it and we want to help ensure that your product flies off the shelves. In a competitive global market place, your product really needs to stand out. Its pretty obvious that cleverly designed packaging is key to achieving this.
What we really enjoy and like to get stuck into right away, is the process of getting to the core of a brand's tone and the metamorphosis that follows. Seeing it transform into a tangible product that everyone wants to get their little paws on is a superb feeling. When the project is finished we like to hold the product and caress it in our hands, looking down at it adoringly (unless its a can of beer, in which case well gulp down the whole thing in one).

Team New Zealand has a large task ahead of them; they were defenders of America's Cup, the task that is in front of them is sizeable, especially given the new test boat that is being considered for this competition. The syndicate enjoys the support of affluent circles in the sailing world and the new surrogate boat being tested stands testimony to the deep pockets that this contest enjoys. Tests of this boat's suitability are currently underway in Pensacola, Florida.
Terry Hutchinson, the skipper of American Magic, stated that Pensacola was giving them sailing weather that was warm and consistent. The flat water training venue was large and protected. Logistics were efficient and the welcoming community ensured that America's Cup team had everything they needed. With accommodations made for the team in Port of Pensacola, the facility aspects are ideal for the team to set up a base and test the boat while New York experiences wintry conditions. This is being done after a long time since the syndicate trained last in 1970 along the Gulf Coast of Florida.
The team comprises of a fitness consultant, Jon Ackland who had been on board of the former team Emirates New Zealand. The upcoming contest in 2021 promises is to be spectator friendly, with a race course that is charted close to the shores. This boat is one of the five competitors who is finalized for the Auckland race which would be a close-up encounter among the competitors.

International Learning Animals Camp Summer 2019
We are getting ready and preparing in what is already going to be the 4th Learning Animals International Camp Experience.
The four last days of June, from Thursday the 27th until Sunday the 30th, Dutch-Italian-German and possibly others will blend in the Learning Animals dimension and will create again another heroic experience within a socio-cognitive context. The inspiration for this edition comes from 'Le Terre Rosse' - The Red Earth - where more than 30 years ago, Francesco walked his trail adventures together with the Tolfetan horse Morello and other horses.
The Autumn Camp will be planned from the 3rd of October until the 6th, where the Learning Animals location and surroundings will be the main setting of the program.
The Camp Experience will be open for Learning Animals Network participants, as it will bring an indepth practice experience and a theory and practical understanding of the concept of Animality, based on the Learning Animals socio-cognitive model. This full-immersion therefor requires a continuity in practice and awareness in daily life, facilitated by the Network updates.
A unique possibility to share, in an international dimension, the values of Learning Animals in an intens and rich experience, moving on towards a new coexistence.
The camp will start at Thursday-afternoon, June the 27th and finish on Sunday-morning the 30th. The camp-activities will mostly take place within the Mountains near the Ligurian sea, a Medditterranian setting with olive trees and red rocks and earth, hence the name.
Opening will take place at Learning Animals, on Friday there will be a further development of movement, perception and vertical 'quadruppedia'. The middle-earth near the sea will be part of the Camp scenario again, and after two days of intense experiences, participants come back to Learning Animals for an 'Animality adventure'.
To make sure summer-temperatures will not interfere with your adventure mood, we decided to organise the partecipants in individual tents at Camping San Martino, where plenty of shade and a swimming pool will offer any necessay refreshment.

Sure, the e-commerce giant reported its best-ever quarterly profit of $35.7 billion, but that's below the $35.98 billion that Wall Street was expecting. Analytics also forecast earnings-per-share (EPS) of $1.56, but Amazon reported $1 EPS today. In its earnings announcement, Amazon says its profit was hurt by the "$1.2 billion unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter."
For the full calendar year, Amazon says net sales were up 20 percent to $107 billion.
Amazon also used today's earnings announcement to tout the growth of Amazon Prime. While it didn't reveal actual membership figures, it did say that Prime memberships grew by 51 percent worldwide in 2015, and were up 47 percent just in the US.

Poets: Ann Coulter's views are vile and abhorrent.
They are so abhorrent they are a manner of unintentional satire, mocking the worst attributes and outlooks of human character—she wonderfully and obliviously mocks herself, as many people see. It might be good for the world if she were accidentally run over by a truck.
We'll go ahead and say it: We will hardly mourn her if she does, in fact, get run over by a truck.
In general, cynical opportunist performers of political porn who use racist hatred for personal gain are best left accidentally dead in the road. Unfortunately, the particular creep in question is not yet dead, and she has garbage to speak, as a citizen granted democratic rights. And those "Leftists" (most of them supported by U.S. government monies in one way or another) who are trying to ban her from speaking her garbage at Berkeley as we write this are also abhorrent.
Even if their abhorrence is slightly askew to the abhorrence of Ann Coulter. I.E., their proto-Stalinism to her proto-Fascism. Though admittedly, we don't wish most of them to get run over by any trucks, mainly because most of them are naively well-intentioned, guided by certain feelings of social justice—certain feelings we ourselves endorse. Most of them, as we said, anyway; some of them are actually political-porn opportunist commissars and tyrants in waiting, and some of them might be best eventually run over by trucks, too. The thing is: Coulter is playing the suppression of free speech (hers) like a fiddle.
We're curious: What is the position of the Bay Area Commune folks and poetic-political orbit, for example, on whether or not Ann Coulter should be allowed to speak? If there are any poets at all who are advocating she be banned from speaking at UC/Berkeley, then let those who are advocating such base censorship speak openly here to defend their position.
For the simple reason that anyone who would deny the right of speech to a political opponent, no matter how reactionary that opponent may be, is a political coward by definition—an enemy of the most basic principles of the Enlightenment and of the best of Left traditions—it is nigh-certain no one will take us up on it.
But they are honestly invited to do so, and we hope our suspicions that a Lukácsian cowardly "type" has in past decades come to dominate their Academic kind are wrong.
We offer anyone who may wish to defend the banning of Ann Coulter at Berkeley the full space here at Dispatches to defend his or her anti-Free Speech ideology.
Berkeley! Non-solipsistic and sacred space of Free-Speech within the heroic Anti-War movements of the 60s. The matter of ethical principle and the matter of sane pragmatism are one: For if you consent to the suppression by governing institutions of the extreme Right, then you open the logical door to the suppression of far-Left, oppositional speech, as well. A very basic, well-trodden historical lesson. How shameful and embarrassing these so-called U.S. "Leftists" of the moment are.
They betray the most fundamental principles of the Left. They help destroy the future of any democratic revolutionary hope. Where will poets be on the matter of ground principles of Freedom of Speech? To stand against such outright censorship is perhaps the most immediate task poets can take up in this urgent political conjuncture.
Where will poets be? With the proto-Stalinist politics so prominent in the academy today, or with the venerable and essential principles of the libertarian and anti-Stalinist Left, for which so many heroic revolutionaries over the past century have offered their very lives?

Trivia Edit
- LeBlanc was one of the champions chosen for the Noxian pool available during the 2010 Ionian Versus Noxus Grudge Match. She was not one of the selected champions, however.
- LeBlanc was designed by Coronach.
- Her name might be a reference to a Šablóna:W character with the same name. In the beginning of the game, she uses illusions to trick others as well.
- LeBlanc's name in French literally means "The White". It could be a reference to the French mathematician Šablóna:W, who used the name M. LeBlanc to attend a university despite women in her times not being allowed to do so.
- The reflecton in her classic artwork is slightly different, possibly showing her old/true self, Evaine.
- LeBlanc is the only character in the game with an ability that cost 0 mana at rank 3.
Quotes Edit
- Her /joke "For my next trick, I'll make their life bar disappear." is a reference to the common stage magician routine where the performer will make their assistant or some large object "vanish" in front of an audience. It could also be connected to the false leak of her abilities, where her ultimate made her team's life bar disappear for the enemy team.
- LeBlanc's lines "Classic misdirection" and "Lying is, like, ninety-five percent of what I do" are likely references to the TV series Šablóna:W.
Skins Edit
- Classic LeBlanc's artwork may be influenced by the Queen from Šablóna:W fairy tale and Šablóna:W Šablóna:W, due to the magic mirror in the background.
- LeBlanc is the first champion whose loading image and in-game icon do not represent the champion. In this instance, it focuses upon her clone.
- Wicked LeBlanc is a reference to Šablóna:W from Disney movie Šablóna:W, based on the famous British children's book.
- Prestigious LeBlanc is a reference to Magicians in general. Prestigious being a common "title", and the Prestige being the final and grandest part of a magician's act.
- The skin looks similar to Šablóna:Wikia from New Earth.
Relations Edit
- LeBlanc's real name is Evaine. She no longer refers to herself by this name after taking on the mantle of Emilia LeBlanc, the Matron of the Black Rose society.
- LeBlanc is in an alliance with Šablóna:Ci, a former member of the Black Rose.
- LeBlanc may be the witch that killed Šablóna:Ci parents.
- There is a speculation that LeBlanc and the Black Rose organization are being secretly investigated by Vayne.

Hello Polycount!
Time for a new project and this time we're heading for the beautiful world of Overwatch!
I've been wanting to tackle a full Overwatch character for some time now. Considering how close that game is to my own natural style it's actually kind of surprising it took me this long to hop into it. I just wrapped up a little 'test sculpt' of Soe, one of the Overwatch League hosts and commentators, to test a few things out so now is the time for a full project so lets dive right in!
Welcome to Project: CHIMERA
For this character I'm picking up a concept that actually in the Overwatch artbook. There's a ton of amazing work in that book (buy it, it's good!), but this one definitely caught my eye. She's a neat early hybrid between what later became Mercy and Symmetra. I'm going to take this design and develop her a bit into a fully fleshed out hero.
Although Belle was born only a few years before the end of the Omnic Crisis, it nonetheless left it's mark, losing her arm in the same omnic attack that robbed Belle of her parents. It was Overwatch's daring raids on the omnic strongholds just a few months later that finally ended the Crisis. As the choas subsided, Belle taken in by a foster system that cared for her well enough, but she was just one more orphaned child in a world that itself was still recovering and rebuilding.
As Belle grew older she threw herself into her studies to escape her trauma and people began to take notice of this brilliant (if somewhat emotionally compromised) young girl. When Typhon, a gifted doctor working in refugee settlements, learned of her history he sought Belle out immediately. He offered to replace her lost limb with advanced cybernetics and teach her how to help other victims who had been hurt or displaced by the global conflict like her. Unfortunately, the fact that Typhon also happened to be an omnic did not escape Belle's notice and she furiously rejected him. But eventually Belle's empathy for the plight of her fellow survivors became too much to bare alone and she begrudgingly accepted the robotic doctor's help and guidance.
The two set to work healing the wounds of a post-Crisis world. Together, Belle and Dr. Typhon ventured boldly into a new frontier of combining human and omnic potential, re-discovering and adapting lost omnic technology from all over the world to better the lives of others. As they worked, what began as a strained, contentious relationship between student and teacher evolved over time into profound respect. After nearly 10 years working together, Belle even began to consider the eccentric omnic as an adoptive father - she had found a home.
Sadly, the peace would not last.
Human and omnic relations have become strained in recent years. While Belle was abroad attending a robotics symposium at the academies of Oasis, Dr. Typhon's medical lab was raided by an anti-omnic terrorist group. Typhon managed to successfully evacuate the facility, but the safety of his staff and patients came at a tragic cost: the robot doctor was the lone casualty. Once again, Belle found herself without a family.
In spite of the loss of her mentor, this time Belle found strength in the legacy that the two had built together. She now actively campaigns all over the world as an advocate of omnic rights, combining her cutting-edge technology with human ingenuity to help defend those in need, robotic and human alike.
I started work on this a few months ago, but I'm going back and re-tooling her a bit. I'll go ahead and post the two WIP's I have and then move forward from here.
Haven't quite started the cybernetic arm or much of her lower body yet, but I'll be tackling that shortly. Dunno about those pants from the concept though... Right now they look kinda goofy. Might have to alter that.

Hi, I would like to introduce myself and to tell you a bit about me. My name is Linda Frankson born and raised in Canada, I was the second oldest of 6 siblings of Canadian descent.
My learning curve in alternative holistic venture started way back in the early 1980s. At the time I was living in Costa Rica Central America. I met a Latin American of Costa Rica and moved to San Jose Costa Rica, in 1973 we were married.
My youngest sibling came to Costa Rica in 1975 to finish his education and move on to a higher level of education, as it was a much easier highway to follow in Costa Rica than in Canada. Between 1975 and 1980 there were ups and downs in his Education.
In the early 1980's he met a very prominent Acupuncturist and became very interest in the art of Acupuncture. This professional took him under his wing and became his prodigy. Thought out his learning period I became very involved helping him and learned much. I learned the art of acupuncture and became very good at finger-puncture which uses the same meridian points instead of needles.
We all go through learning curves that are to do with life's experiences, these are tools that we learn how to cope with things around us but we also learn skills that we can share with others.
For 10 years I was able to help people Spiritually, as I have always been very close to the Spirit all my life. Though my own trials and tribulations I found and I was better able to implement into my life to find balance and help others do also. Which I found was very fulfilling for me.
When I moved back to Canada I found EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with the use of taping on the same meridians as Acupuncture.
Then later on in life, I found Kinesiology commonalty known as muscle testing. Through understanding the body and the marvellous wonders of how the body has the capacity of healing itself far beyond that of Western Medicine.
There is always a Better Way
The holistic approach is not evasive nor addictive. Though all my many years and as a housewife, mother, hairdresser by trade, getting divorced remarrying and becoming a widow.
Then moving back to Canada and becoming a mother again to my grandson because my daughter is mentally handy capped from birth and also through her pregnancy acquired Type 2 diabetes, this put me on the road to finding holistic alternatives, to help her. In doing so… I found much much more than that.
First with my daughter Melissa. Then there came along period of time working with her going through special learning disability so that she would be able to look after she self later on in life.
Then though my grandson how was born in 2003, in Canada his first four years were a dream come true I became a mother again, then the accident happened.
Jessy had an accident at the age of 4, extreme trauma to the head from a fall that placed him with a learning disability. I was forever looking for solutions I would not rest.
Yes, it was very tragic but if there was a way I was bound and determined to find it.
Always looking for the solution, always trying to find a better way.
In all that I was going through in my life, I always believed that if there was a will there was away.
I came across Muscle Testing, this was God sent because knowing Acupuncture and the knowledge of EFT. Kinesiology (Muscle Testing) was walking in the park.
For the next 7 years, I was able to work with Jessy my grandson and take him from just about 300 lb to 170 lb. So bear with me as I tell my story.
An update
My whole life has been around helping others, not paying attention to my own health. Back in 2001, I returned to Canada after 31 years in Central America, I had gone through a marriage of 25 years with my daughter and my stepdaughter that lived with us on her Holidays.
We had a very good relationship and love her as if she was my own. After! the divorce we are still very close to this day. I met and married my second husband and we have a very good 3 1/2 years until he passed away very suddenly. Shortly after that, I decided to return to Canada. I left my daughter with her Dad until I was able to have her come to Canada so I could establish myself and find us a place to live.
My health issues over a period of time.
Let me give you a rundown on my health issues over a period of time. I have never been one to run to the doctors about everything I usually dealt with them myself not that they have been big issues or so I thought.
Back in 1980, I was diagnosed as a borderline diabetic back in those days I still thought doctors had all the answers after all they had the Education. I didn't take much heed to what I was told. I had other pressing matters to take care of. There is a tendency to deal with them myself.
I have seen an overall health decline in the world so mine was not a big dealing. With health problems within my family unit, it has taken a tow on me. The most notable was my blood pressure has been about 180 over 75 and the only reason I found out about my blood pressure because I went to the Doctor for a different problem I had I broken a toe on the right foot and was given medication for high blood pressure.
I went back three times because the medication was making me ill. I was down to taking 1/4 of a pill and for those of you that are taking this kind of medication you know how small the pill is and it was still affecting me, the doctor told me that it was all in my head. So if it was all in my head then let it be that way and I stopped taking them. So I lived with high blood pressure.
Then my legs started to bother me whereas I was getting pain in my caffs as if I had run a marathon. At first, I thought it was that I wasn't getting very much exercise. But it kept persisting and then I was having trouble breathing, walking was becoming a chore and I would have to stop and inhale several times before I could move on. And I was keeping all this to myself because I was having more pressing matters. Like keeping up with the job that I needed very much to take care of my small family.
The pain was shooting up into my thighs and my lower back I couldn't stand in one place for any given amount of time. To top it all off my feet were starting to get numb mostly on the right foot I acquired neuropathy in the right foot then it went on to the left. I was walking slower and slower every day every step was painful. I developed a leaky bladder whereas if I urgency to go to the bathroom I needed to be close to a bathroom, I had several episodes with losing my bladder in public because there wasn't a bathroom close at hand.
So I took retirement to look after my health began losing weight because I had no appetite I wasn't eating because I wasn't hungry. I wasn't sleeping good I would wake up about twice a night to go to the bathroom if I got a cold with coughing and sneezing I had to us nappies to keep dry. I had to stay close to a bathroom or make sure I knew where the bathroom was when I had to leave the house.
Muscle spasms where the worst I would wake up at night with a clarity horse so bad in my legs I had to get up and walk it off that was the only way I got over them. Some of them were so bad I would cry from the pain. So am I making it clear the state I was in? All these symptoms didn't come overnight they came slowly. In the back of my mind, I knew that it was diabetes.
But throw all of this I knew that it wasn't old age setting in there was something definitely the matter with me. I knew if I went to the doctor I would be given pills then sent home till the next time. I have seen this over and over again with others.
Throw all of this, I had my obligations to take care of. I had to stop working because I wasn't coping. My daughter with Type 2 diabetes and with a mental disability and my grandson with a mental disability I was working with them at the same time working with myself.
This is very hard to write about because I was trying to maintain a happy environment when there really wasn't one but even through all this I knew there was a better way I only had to find it. I knew that the body had its own capacity to heal. Given the right things.
I already documented on them and all that I have been doing at the same time looking to help them I was looking to help myself. I set in place food norms in my home. Water filtration, I was finding information on foods the more I dug the worse it got, all the disease where there and I was thinking that maybe a lot of them I had the more I dug the more I found.
I tried all kinds of thing experimenting with different holistic forms I could feel that things were improving I just had to keep going. My blood pressure would drop, then go back up again. My appetite got better and I stopped losing weight but I started to put the weight back on again. The pain in my legs got better whereas I could walk longer and not feel so wiped out. My breathing got better because I was doing breathing exercises. There were small changes but I wasn't happy with that I knew there was a better way and I was bound and determined to find it.
I documented most of this in other posts. We were not eating junk food or soda pop or sweets we cut all that wiped out of wiped out diet at home. The hardest was with my daughter because she was getting very upset with me. She felt I was depriving her of all the good stuff she liked to eat so she started buying things and bringing them home and hiding them in her room.
Stress is a large factor in healing if the stress is where you are not helping yourself nor the others in your home. So I worked on stress finding ways to minimize the stress. Stress is a biggy when there is high blood pressure breathing exercises helped a lot but I needed to do it the right way otherwise I only defeated the cause. Meditation is another I didn't know how to meditate but I found that meditation come in many forms if I just could stop thinking for a bit and relax the mind.
What really helped was hymns from the church music humming a hymn was a way for me to take negative thoughts out of my head I had stopped writing here at my site because I was getting too stressed out. I had to leave it alone until I got myself under control again. I just took baby steps and one at a time I could feel myself recuperating but it wasn't fast enough. There were six to 8-month laps after I quit work before I could come back to writing again. I had to write because there is so much that I had come in contact with.
In all this, I had to move from the place that I was living at because one of the stress factors was covering all my obligations month on month. I forever added work for myself running a household with three bedrooms up and there down to keep that going I had boarders One of the borders brought bed bugs into my home. With working throw my health problems and looking after too many people I wasn't doing myself any favours.
I was lucky enough that the bed bugs had only reached two rooms in the house but do you know the work that goes into cleaning that up. I had to throw away two beds and get new ones. All the bedding had to be washed and rewashes for two weeks straight all the clothing bagged after washing, had to gone throw, wash and drying floors walls closets drawers everything had been going throw. I was a basket case. By the time I got it under control.
Then to top it off I needed to move and downsize everything I had. Downsizing the junk that one collects over time. There where mutable trips to the dump and taking the thing to the salvation army. Making sure that nothing I took there was carrying any bed bugs. I finally got that organized and to tell you the truth I have no idea how I did it just one step at a time. And I hurt like hell. And still not telling anybody what the heck was the matter with me.
Well, downsizing was not the half of it I still had to find a place to move to. All the rentals where sky-rocketed I moved from a 6 bedroom to a three-bedroom and still needed storage. From $2400.00 to $1700.00 a month. The renters in the larger house keep the food on the table but now I didn't know where that was going to come from living by the seat of my pants is not going to cut the stress.
Al this took place in not to long of a period of time. I found a place in a basement suite it had the storage I needed and thought it was going to be a good move I just got situated when everything changed again. The people in the upper suite were not the best of Nabours and one thing led to another and I found myself thinking I would have to move again.
It happened that my niece was in a small standalone house with a fenced yard. Not a pretty house but it had all that I needed with no Nabours to contend with for the same price I was already paying. She was having difficulty and need to leave and get out of her lease. We negotiated an agreement with the landlords so she was able to get out of the lease and I was able to take over the house. So now I had other stressed added to my life. But I was bound and determined to get myself all straightened out.
So I could get myself healed it look like maybe that was going to happen except there were a few obstacles I had to get by. One of the things that I found that helped a lot was keeping myself busy and not think of all that was going on around me and work throw the pain. It was the hardest thing that I had ever done.
One of the things that were holding me back was that I was a smoker and I knew that if I didn't give that up I wasn't going to get better. So I had another herbal to climb over and it was a big one. We will cover that one but right now I will say I did it and I came to throw not with flying colours but I got there.
There was work to get throw at this house because it was only a two-bedroom and we needed a three-bedroom. There was a basement and it had a room down there not in good shape but with a bit of work on my part I could make it work. I did, I able it works with the materials that I had, I got busy and created a room for myself. "Ask me how", still to this day I don't know-how. I got paint from a friend and went to work. One step at a time working throw the pain. I think in reality the pain is what got me to throw, I will tell you why in a bit. Even laid carpet on a cement floor, won't go into details, but I did it.
One day at church I got muscle spasms in my hands and it was too much to handle and my body went into a trauma crisis. My blood pressure dropped and you can imagine high blood pressure that drops to low it was a total shock to my system. I knew what happened but the Bishop how was a doctor had no idea because I just didn't tell him he sent me to the hospital once my blood pressure normalized they sent me home.
This is where Always a better way was created
Always a better way as mother nature intended, was created based on my own personal life experiences. The trails and tribulations that I have gone through over a very long period of time.
Now I find myself at a crossroad. All my life I have been helping people Spiritually, mentally and physically, so what if I could put all this experience into action with helping others. Not just on a one on one basis but on multiple levels using the Internet.
Enjoy your time with me I know I will!

For Good or For Evil *Excerpt Marceau French Hist Fiction
by thelma benison on Nov.04, 2013, under Occult
"Right. Your father's archeologist wants to avoid working with that vessel. And if I am right, this may be why. It is believed that if the vessel is dropped, 72 Spirits would be released and would be commanded by the first person who dropped the vessel. These Spirits and their legions would then travel to all the corners of the earth and dominate it and use you, your mind, and your home as a base. Now, the use of these spirits can be used for the good or for evil – depending upon the soul of the owner," said Lucien.

Surviving Domestic Violence
Something a little more serious now, Domestic abuse and violence. It's a horrible subject and one while i don't shy away from i don't bring up all that often..
Not a nice subject to bring up at anytime bit for some reason i feel compelled to bring it up now. So let's start with a little background, 1978 I am 4 and my mum is married to someone in the RAF (my dad) Christmas Eve he decides this is the time to leggit, up we get Xmas morning and no dad…..nothing, Mum rings her parents who duly come over and we s kids have a nice day but you can see the scene here. fast forward a couple years and she meets XXXX , cook in the Army and mad as a box of frogs (not in a good way mind) he was unhinged from the very start. I recall my nan always saying something was not right with him and she was proven right. Within a few months my mum is off to Germany with us kids in tow and her new husband.
From the off, once out of site of nan and grandad things quickly got bad. Mum took beatings, myself and brother were also hit and more, I remember the first xmas in Germany my grandparents come over, a massive fight breaks out and XXXX kicks out my nan and grandad on xmas eve around 9pm… There was no where to go and i was faced with a stand off. I truly did not know what to do or say as a 7 year old. being asked questions about staying in the home or leaving or "do you love you dad etc…" you say what you feel you should out of fear. I often wonder if i said what i wanted would we have stayed and suffered years of this?
Xmas resolved itself that year some how. I remember i got a Buck Rogers starfighter toy and loved it… in fact i still have it. however the years progressed and the violence also progressed. One time i lived in Kent and as i recall i did something minor and he flipped again. stormed out to me as i was standing on the stairs and confronted me with such aggression and hatred. He demanded an answer to something and when it was not what he wanted i was slapped full force around the head, so hard my head bounced off the wall and left a mark in the wall and my head. Sore was not the word but i did not cry at this point… jesus did that ever hurt but I did not cry. Only when he dismissed me and I went up stairs and cried….I refused to let him see me cry for that. Another xmas i was bought a racer bike by nan and grandad, loved it, it was blue and silver and while a little big i just loved it. When nan and granddad went back home to Ireland he decided that as it was too big the bike was now his. I was no longer allowed to use it. My xmas present was taken away… I was destroyed I could not believe someone could be so mean… Forget the beating and abuse myself, brother and mum got but to take a child's xmas present is low….. at least from a kid's point of view, had that bike less than two week and it was gone. Never did get a roadbike after that to this day and so badly want one.
Many more times we went on like this, I remember mum asking me again after another hiding did I want to stay. Looking back i should have said no but again i said " of course" or words to that effect. So we went on, Living in Bletchley the straw that broke the camel's back was near,
Incident 1) Driving home after seeing his parents (who by the way are the kindest gentlest people you could ever meet) we were stuck in traffic, something happened in that he snapped as my mum was driving punched her three times in the face while she was behind the wheel, It was horrific, again witnessing this outburst of violence towards someone you are supposed to care and love. how she kept the car on the road i have no idea, But do it she did. After this i did something that while it caused my mum worry i do not regret, I was going to run away. I finished school one day and decided to not go home and instead go to my best friends house. We played computer games for ages and i remember his mum getting me something to eat that evening and and still stayed until the phone went with mum looking for me. I planned and leaving his house and not going home but making my way to Holyhead and Ireland, I lost the nerve and while on the bus on the way home I remember thinking if this is what married life is then keep it. I want no part of it and I do not want a relationship.
Incident 2) It was a sunday morning not long after the above road rage, sun was up it was the making of a nice day, Always the Saturday night TV was recorded for watching on Sunday and this was ready. He was outside fixing a door and not making good headway while mum was in the front room doing the weekly ironing. I was just in the front room and something flipped, the switch was gone and the red mist was again down. The back door was ripped from the hinges, you could heard the snapping of wood. and the thing hitting the ground and could hear his temper. As he burst into the front room he grabbed my mum by the hair from behind and started punching her in the face, she was completely defenseless. was unprepared for this and i could not take it anymore, after a few seconds I picked up an ornament and hit him on the head with it, he was stunned and stopped what he was doing to my mum and went for me and I told her to run and take my brother. I dodged him and we ran next door. This was it, she finally called the police and we went down to file a report and I found myself in a police station making a statement in a room on my own about what happened.
Surreal will not cover what was going on, here I was at 12/13 years of age in a police station reporting my stepdad for domestic abuse…. Dylan is the same age now and I look at him thinking how his life is oh so different to what mine was at his age. He is so innocent, and child like to what i was, how he should be. I was forced to endure and grow up before my time, to look after my mum and take the beatings and abuse he handed out.
I have left out huge chunks of stories and information, maybe i will write about them some day but for now I look back at my statement of not ever wanting to be married and thank the stars i met my loving wife. She is amazing and while she also did not have a great childhood together we vowed to give our kids the very best love and attention we can. We fall out from time to time, all families do but we never go to bed angry and we have never raised a hand to the kids or each other. why would we we are very much in love with each other and the boys… we as parents are here to protect the kids from everything so I cannot understand how someone could do such damage to me, my brother or mum. My mum is great, she is amazing and also wrecks my head… that's ok as i love her to bits.
How am i now… damaged and i struggle at times with what happened, i sometimes want to prosecute himself for what he did, make him realize the damage he did. Sometimes I pay him no heed at all. But not a day passes when the abuse and beatings we took does not pop into my head. I cannot bear the sound of thumping around the house, it brings back so many bad memories of him coming after us, I turn off the TV when domestic abuse is portrayed – just cannot watch it. So yeah, thanks a lot for what you did to us and me……………
If I would wish anything is that going back in time and when she first asked me if we should leave her husband i say yes………. problem is every single decision, be it good or bad in retrospect leads me the the point in time I met my wife…. I would not change that for all the riches in the world
So the questions how did I survive……. In a way I did not, it still is present day to day, what i did do however is to never subject my kids and wife to the abuse I got. My wife is amazing, my kids are just as wonderful and amazing and I could not for a moment contemplate every subjecting them to this evil. How to cope going forward? I often think of a civil case against himself, or sue him for years of damages….. whats the point though? closure for me…. maybe one day
Thats it i guess, my little story… discuss if you like or post a comment, Thanks Darren
No matter if in Ireland or where ever if you suspect someone is being abused – before you get involved, ask yourself if it's safe and legal to intervene. If the situation is already violent or looks like its escalating quickly, don't directly intervene. Call the the police or Gardaí on 999 or use your local emergency services number .
The only effective bystander intervention is a non-violent one.
If you see or suspect domestic abuse, visit whatwouldyoudo.ie or call 999.

Accessibility Handbook for Public Right-of-Way
ADA compliance is required by all Cities and Counties and mistakes are often made either in the design or construction phase due to a lack of understanding of all the requirements. For anyone working with public sidewalks and intersections, this handbook is a valuable resource as it provides a single source of reference that compiles all applicable standards and best practices into a single document.
The size of the handbook and formatting is intended to be portable and easy to read and focuses specifically in this area of public sidewalks and intersections and broken into further subsections. Where many standards and practices vary in stringency, this document compiles the most stringent standard or practice.
The handbook is intended to improve design and construction clarity and guidance to reduce liability due to design error for street, sidewalk, and intersection projects by providing clear information on how to achieve full ADA compliance using only the most stringent of standards.
Security Assessments
GIS Profiler
SSA works with clients to implement ADA access improvements using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and surface profiling technology to capture data, revise compliance status when work is completed, and to help prioritize future projects. SSA uses surface profiling technology to inventory pedestrian features within the rights-of-way. The data captured can be continually updated with a priority ranking system allowing the most severe hazards to be addressed first. Project oversight is improved with a tailored work schedule and instant reports.

Basic Plot Structure Continued: The Climax
It's now time to discuss our favorite part of the story: The Climax. The Climax in storytelling is exactly the same as it is in other areas of your life. The Climax is that highest or most intense point in the development or resolution of the story. It is that moment of greatest intensity. It is that scene that brings all the previous events in the story to that critical moment where the main character is about to win or lose everything. The Climax is where the outcome of the Major Complication is revealed to the reader. Note that you must know the problems that the Major Complication created for your character in order to bring that complication to a head in your climax. If the two scenes, the Major Complication and the Climax, are not tied effectively together, then you will leave your reader unsatisfied.
The Climax is Victory or Death. For Overcoming the Monster, this is the final battle scene. Your reader is not sure which side is going to win. The reader is worried that your character is going to fail. In all probability, your character will die. The reader is chewing on their fingernails as they read and they can't possibly put the book down (If they can put the book down during the climax then you haven't done your job). Either your character will die or they will win. If they win, then they create a new world for themselves. If they die, your story is a tragedy (think Shakespeare). Your Climax changes everything.
In Star Wars Episode IV the climactic scene is where the Rebels assault the Death Star. Luke and his friends must fly along the heavily defended trenches with the nearly impossible task of shooting a warhead into the very tiny thermal exhaust port. This exhaust port is the Death Star's only vulnerability. Failure to get a warhead into the exhaust port means certain death for Luke, and all of his friends. Many of the fighters die trying to accomplish the impossible. The initial attempt to get the warhead into the exhaust port fails. All is lost. Finally, Luke, the only fighter left, releases his warhead and hits his target. The Death Star is destroyed. (The Rebels don't know that Darth Vader has escaped which sets up the possibility of the next movie). The Rebels believe they can now create a new world for themselves. They won!
In the Major Complication, the Death Star destroyed Alderaan and the Rebel base that was located there. Leia is Darth Vader's prisoner and scheduled for death. In the Climax, the Death Star is destroyed. The Rebel forces are saved. Luke has saved Leia's life. See how the two scenes tie together? If you work out the ten scenes of your plot, then regardless of what happens in between these ten scenes, your plot will be solid. Your story will make sense. You will have a strong beginning, middle, and end, and you will have very satisfied readers who can't wait for your next book.

- The Point of No Return

Design Spotlight: Storage Solutions by Rodger Owen
Creating a home where children and adults can feel comfortable in all spaces
Photos: Nathan Kirkman
Rodger Owen, BGD&C, Chicago
When our clients came to us to design and build their home, they had three children and another on the way. So it was understandable that their main goal was to create a family home where both children and adults would feel comfortable in all spaces. For us—with the help of talented interior design firm Kadlec Architecture + Design, in Chicago—this translated to smart storage solutions throughout the home that are both beautiful and functional.
In the light-filled craft room and playroom, hand-painted built-in millwork provides storage for art and craft supplies and games. A large custom island has a low shelf for accessible basket storage.
Adjacent to the pool, we designed a changing room with lockers so guests can store their belongings while they swim. The kids especially love this space—it's like going on vacation without leaving home.
This sophisticated mudroom—considered the home's "nerve center"—has millwork cubbies for each child, a bench, and drawers for shoes. Every item has a designated place, keeping the room neat and organized. A personal touch: The homeowner commissioned a local artist to create the custom mural with inspirational quotes.

Top black hat conference
Posted by brainfoldb4u on January 7, 2010
Here's a list of the top 20 hacker conferences out there today with a short description that I found from one of hacking website. I am not very sure where i got it from but sure some valuable information . They aren't ranked from best to worst, because I am in no position to judge them since I haven't been to all of them. If you think I missed a great one, feel free to mention it in the comments.
- DEFCON @ www.defcon.org – DEFCON is one of the oldest continuous running hacker conventions around, and also one of the largest. Originally started in 1993, it was a meant to be a party for member of "Platinum Net", a Fido protocol based hacking network out of Canada. As the main U.S. hub I was helping the Platinum Net organizer (I forget his name) plan a closing party for all the member BBS systems and their users. He was going to shut down the network when his dad took a new job and had to move away. We talking about where we might hold it, when all of a sudden he left early and disappeared. I was just planning a party for a network that was shut down, except for my U.S. nodes. I decided what the hell, I'll invite the members of all the other networks my BBS (A Dark Tangent System) system was a part of including Cyber Crime International (CCI), Hit Net, Tired of Protection (ToP), and like 8 others I can't remember. Why not invite everyone on #hack? Good idea!
- Blackhat @ www.blackhat.com – "From its inception in 1997, Black Hat has grown from a single annual conference in Las Vegas to a global conference series with annual events in Tokyo, Amsterdam, Las Vegas and Washington DC. It has also become a premiere venue for elite security researchers and the best security trainers to find their audience."

- Nullcon @ www.nullcon.net – "If you too share this passion for knowledge, if a core dump brings glimmer to your eyes, if you want to share your hack with others and you have an inquisitiveness to learn, then nullcon is the place for you. If meeting hackers/researchers/phreaks in a 2 days event packed conference and the sun-bathed beaches of the tropical paradise called Goa won't get you off your bed, nothing ever will. So crack you knuckles, fire your Live CDs, dust your Debuggers and get ready for some serious action this February."
- Phreaknic @ www.phreaknic.info – "Phreaknic was started years ago by JonnyX. After 5 years of working his bony ass off putting together a con on a budget, he had to leave Nashville to get a good job and survive. He passed on the duties to Dolemite, who with the help of his amex card, put together a group of directors and formed a non-profit corporation to put on the con. Dolemite built on previous successes, and has made phreaknic a well organized, finely tuned machine… Well, fairly well tuned. We have our moments. After Phreaknic 11, Dolemite stepped down as President of Nashville2600, the non-profit that puts on Phreaknic. A vote was taken and skydog was elected as President of the Nashville2600 Organization.
