This Is My Jam | Frontier Psychiatrist
Some women compulsively buy shoes. Others prefer handbags. Me? I have a berry problem. Straw, rasp, black, blue, mul – you name it. I love berries in all their juicy, staining glory. I have written before about my untamable desire to buy produce, but it’s a good berry that really drives me wild. The jewel-toned colors, the sweet-tart pucker, their welcome place in oatmeal and pancakes! J’adore. The only downside is how fleeting their season really is. But I shall teach you to make summer last forever! [Insert villainous laugh.]
Enter: home canning kit. If berry season refuses to last year-round, then I will make it last as long as my pressure cooker will let me. The beauty of canning (or jarring, preserving, etc.), is that you can fully take advantage of each season’s harvest and eat year-round in a way that still allows you to adhere to the values of local and seasonal produce. Freezing strawberries from the farmer’s market in July means you can have fresh, local strawberries in your smoothie in December. And the amount of jam I made last weekend with 2 pints of blueberries should last me well into winter, with even more to give away. Not to mention that the satisfaction of having made my own jam should last at least as long.
Jam is very simple to make, so it’s a good place for an amateur (ahem, me) to begin. In fact, the most challenging aspect of the whole experience might be locating pectin, an all natural fruit-based ingredient that helps jams and jellies to gel. A fancy or well-stocked grocery store should have it, but you may have to hunt a bit. Or visit ye olde Amazon. So once you get yours hands on that pectin, the world is your gelatinous oyster! (Ew. Apologies.) Grab a couple pounds of your favorite berry and that’s your jam.
I’m planning on canning tomatoes, pickles, beets, corn relish, and anything else I can get my hands on this summer, so stay tuned for future installments of the Joy of Canning. Until then, see below for my high level walk-through of the blueberry jam-making process, plus the recipe I followed for blueberry jam.
Step 1: Prepare your gear. This involves sterilizing the jars and lids. My jars went in the dishwasher, air tight lids and screw-cover rings in boiling water.
Step 2: Wash the fruit. Wash berries well and sift through for wrinkled/unripe berries or stems.
Step 3: Mash berries. Just mash ‘em up real good. Avoid squirting berry juice.
Step 4: Boil that berry slosh! Should only take a few minutes. Once it’s bubbling, add sugar and pectin mixed together.
Step 5: Funnel. Or do whatever it takes to get the jams into jars.
Step 6: Rejoice! It looks and tastes like jam!
Step 7: Lay on the pressure. Place a lid on each jar and secure it with the screw-on ring. Boil the jam jars to seal them from nasty things like air and botulism. You will undoubtedly feel cool, like a mad scientist.
Step 8: Wait for the pop. After the lids have been sealed, you will wait for the most satisfying part of this whole process. The little bump in the center of the lid will pop and become concave. This means you are a successful, air-tight jammer. Rock on. Just don’t touch for 24 hours, lest you break the seal.
adapted from the Pomona’s Universal Pectin box
4 cups mashed blueberries (about 2 pints/2 lbs)
2 tsp calcium water (the powder to make this concoction comes with the pectin mix)
You will also need canning jars (like Ball jars) and a very large pot. We used our pressure cooker, but you don’t actually need it for this recipe. Any large stock pot with a rack placed in the bottom to keep the jars from touching the bottom will work fine.
1. Wash and rinse jars; let stand in hot water. Bring lids and rings to a boil; turn down heat; let stand in hot water.
2. Prepare your fruit. Measure fruit into pot with lemon juice.
3. Add pre-mixed calcium water into pot; stir well.
4. Measure sugar into separate bowl. Thoroughly mix pectin powder into sugar.
5. Bring fruit to boil. Add pectin-sugar mix; stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes while cooking to dissolve pectin. It should now start to thicken and gel. Return to boil and remove from heat.
6. Fill jars to 1/4 inch of top. Wipe rims clean. Screw on 2 piece lids. Put filled jars in boiling water to cover. Boil 10 minutes. Remove from water and let jars cool. Check seals — lids should be sucked down. Lasts about 3 weeks once opened.

Beth: I may be drunk Daryl, but I'm not dumb.
Daryl: It doesn't matter... She's dead!
Beth: *shakes her head* You don't know that.
Daryl: No, but why should I believe she's still out there? Alive.
Beth: Because she wasn't there, Daryl. She wasn't at the prison.
Daryl: Just because she wasn't there doesn't mean she's still alive, walkers...
Beth: *cuts him off* Daryl Carol is strong, she can protect herself. She's not dead, neither is Maggie, Glenn, or Michonne... They are out there and we have to try and find them. She needs you Daryl and you need her even though you won't admit it. I seen it in your eyes every time you would look at her. I had that same look with Jimmy.

creative writing - How Much Dialogue Is Too Much Dialogue - Writing Stack Exchange
I wanted to know How Much Dialogue Is Too Much Dialogue ? I'm writing chapter and i can't really seem to trim my dialogues since my all 4 of my characters are to talk to each other and interact with their surroundings as well.
For example the current scene i'm writing is that Lord Cutler is meeting with his rival Lord Graham. As they both start a fencing match they repeatedly start to insult and ridicule the other person while their squires cheer them on while insulting their opposition.
How do i mix dialogue and describe the thrilling match between the 2 lords.
You're probably too close to the scene to tell. My suggestions:
1) Write the scene with whatever dialogue you think is necessary. Put it in a drawer and don't look at it for at least a month. Then pick it up and read it cold. Make notes of where you can't tell who's speaking.
2) Hand the scene to one or more friends. Ask them to tell you what they can and can't follow, or where they feel it needs more narration interspersed with dialogue.
3a) If you're still struggling, find four friends and cast them as the lords and squires and have them ad-lib the scene. Record it on your phone. Play it back and write down not just what they say, but what the actors are doing. How often do they stop trash-talking and just whack at each other?
3b) If that's not logistically possible, watch old swashbuckling films like The Adventures of Robin Hood or Captain Blood — early stuff from Errol Flynn is great — and pay attention to the sword-fighting scenes. Flynn and Basil Rathbone have a great extended sword fight at the end of Robin Hood. Watch how they dance around while also trading barbs. Spend some time transcribing the entire scene as if you were writing stage directions. Do the same with Pirates of the Caribbean, particularly when Jack Sparrow and Will are fighting in the smithy.
(Fun facts about Robin Hood: Rathbone was such a good sword-fighter that he had to be told to tone it down, because Flynn was an amateur; and that kind of swishy-swashy-swashbucking flailing around with swords for film purposes is now called "flyinning" in Errol's honor.)

I think it entirely depends upon the pacing you require from the scene.
If you're writing it with the action in mind, I would have around a single line of dialogue for every action that takes place.
However, if it's comedy, you can be more liberal with the conversation, and intersperse it with summaries of action sequences.
"You, sir, have the posture of a dog that has just learned that it has hind legs!" cried Lord Cutler, leaping forward and thrusting his blade directly at his opponent's face.
"Aha!" responded Lord Graham, deftly jumping to his left to avoid the blow, "your insults are more likely to cut me than your sword!"
He returned with an arcing strike downwards, which was met with a clean riposte from the prepared Lord Cutler.
His squire watched the neat block, and joined in with the chorus of barbs over the sound of clashing rapiers, "have at him, m'lord! You shall win this fight with ease!"
The two fighters danced back and forward, clearly evenly matched in skill.
When this is compared with:
"You, sir, have the posture of a dog that has just learned that it has hind legs!" cried Lord Cutler viciously at his opponent.
"Aha!" responded Lord Graham, "your insults are more likely to cut me than your sword!"
His squire joined in with the chorus of barbs, "have at him, m'lord! You shall win this fight with ease!"
Lord Cutler leaped forward and thrust his blade directly at his opponent's face, which Lord Graham avoided by jumping to the left.
These two bits of action + conversation have the exact same things happening and being said, but reading gives them a different impression.
Having the action alongside the dialogue draws out the fight sequence, making it feel as if the fight is lasting longer, whereas grouping them separately has more focus on what the two are saying to each other, with some action involved.
There should be as much dialogue as needed, but where you are putting it is the important part. If you want the fight to feel fast-paced, but there are three interactions of dialogue for every movement, then cut down on the quips.
If you're looking for more focus on the talking, then just add in a few actions between every chunk of dialogue to break up the conversation, which will help it to flow instead of just being a wall of speech.

Keep in mind that your reader wants to read the story, and doesn't care to hear every detail about everything that happens during an event. Therefore, try trimming all of the dialog except the bits that contribute directly to moving the story along. (Read your favorite authors to see examples of this.)
Having said that, there are stories out there that are nothing but dialog.
According to Mark Twain, dialogue should end the moment the participants have nothing more to say to each other.
However, this needs to be qualified. Ready? Here goes:
If you're really talented, there's no limit. The entire book can consist of nothing but dialogue. If you're really talented, that is.
If you're not really talented, you shouldn't be writing fiction.
I'd add that dialog should begin when the participants have something to say that the reader wants to know. That is, leave out all the "Hi" "How are you?""Fine, and you?" – Ken Mohnkern Nov 9 '15 at 13:51

We have an agreement to buy the home from the owners after the renovation is completed.
The project began when Five Diamond Homes purchased the property and selected Kyle Jensen Architect to design the home's new interior and roofing and including a dilapidated cinder block workshop shed in the back yard. Kyle modified the house from 3BR 1B to 2BR 2B and moved the kitchen to face a window toward the street. His plans were reviewed for the house and a building permit was issued in October. The plan for the shed was approved and the permit issued in November.. Kyle has designed the interior of the bathrooms and kitchen. The first cement pour raised the family room floor to the level of the house and prepared the front and back porches. All the windows have been sized, and in several cases moved to suit the new design. Kyle is responsible for selecting contractors and verifying performance. Because of the experience he has garnered the contractors are first rate and fully licensed except for demolition labor which he used to give a young man an opportunity to start a business. We are pleased with the design, the quality of work and schedule, especially since the project is 100% reconstruction except for exterior walls that were saved and suitable to be re-barred and concrete poured to be brought up to code. Kyle is working hard to make sure the project is completed within budget and schedule. We anticipate completion in late December or early January when we will buy the home from Five Diamond Homes and move in.

Petition against Village Ridge Development
This petition creates an opportunity for concerned residents to express their views regarding the proposed high-density affordable housing development on erven 21028 and 21029 in King George Park, situated in Loch Lomondry Avenue between the King George Hotel and Die Bult Secondary School, and to make their concerns known to George Municipality.
- Printouts of the online petition's responses will be submitted to George Municipality on 5 December 2018.
- Please complete the petition online by Tuesday, 4 December 2018.
- This online petition is not affiliated with any political party.
- Comments, questions or suggestions regarding this petition can be sent to villageridgepetition@gmail.com
Erven 21028 and 21029 are presently registered in the name of “Provinsiale Regering van die Wes-Kaap”. The two erven were sold to Power Group for R1.00 each, on condition that the company develop "affordable housing also for the lower income group."
The two erven in King George Park are situated in Loch Lomondry Avenue between the King George Hotel and Die Bult Secondary School.
According to the Memorandum (henceforth the 'Memorandum') that the Town and Regional Planners submitted to the Municipality (dated 30 August 2018):
"The proposed development aims at providing housing opportunities for the market between R425 000 and R445 000 for the town housing units. The development is therefore aimed at providing affordable housing also for the lower income group."
An application has been submitted to the Municipality to consolidate the two erven and rezone the consolidated erf to a subdivisional area "to be used as single residential (99 erven), town housing (86 erven), 3 business erven, a cell phone mast erf, a crèche, 11 public open space erven, public streets and parking."
The Memorandum also requested a "departure from the parking requirements for the town housing component of the development from the current 2 parking bays per unit plus 0.25 per unit for visitors to 1 parking bay per unit plus 0.25 per unit for visitors. In effect the departure would imply a reduction in the number of parking bays for the town housing component from 194 bays to 108 bays."
Lastly, the Memorandum requested "consent use to permit a cell phone mast on one of the proposed erven (proposed erf no 190)."
In terms of the deeds of transfer, Erf 21028 is 32 523 m², Erf 21029 is 8 577 m² and the relevant portion of Loch Lomondry Avenue is 4111 m². Total area of the application site is 45 211 m².
Despite the traffic congestion that this development will cause at nearby intersections, neither Power Group nor the Municipality is willing build any new roads. Furthermore, they have omitted the highly problematic intersection at Plattner Boulevard and York Street from the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) report entirely.
A similar and even larger development called 'Rooirivier Development' is also being planned. More details about both developments are provided below.
1. Village Ridge Development
The 'Die Bult' (Highlands) area where this proposed development will be built is currently zoned General Residential Zone II (Group Housing), i.e. it allows for 35 units per hectare, whereas Loch Lomondry Avenue is zoned Transport Zone II. For the town housing component of the development, George Municipality intends to change this to 59 erven per hectare, resulting in high density town houses with an average unit size of 68m², i.e. the size of a double garage. The average density of the development for the total property will be 41 units per ha.
(It remains to be seen whether anyone would be willing to pay between R425 000 and R445 000 for a town house that is the size of a double garage.)
The height restriction of buildings is 6,5 m to the wall plate and 8,5 m to the pitch of the roof. The building lines applicable to the zoning are 5 m for the street boundary and 3 m in respect of the boundaries along the perimeter of the group housing site.
Street boundary walls will apparently be "low to create a friendly and welcoming feel in the streets with softer edges rather than solid high walls."
A total of ±188 units will be developed behind King George Hotel.
Other points mentioned in the Memorandum that the City and Town Planner submitted to George Municipality include:
"Water reticulation exists within the adjacent neighborhoods to which the proposed development will connect. No upgrades to the water reticulation system is required to accommodate this development within the existing water distribution system."
"A normal gravity wastewater reticulation system exists in the adjacent neighborhood [referring to Dormehls Drift on the other side of the Camfersdrift River] to which the proposed development will drain. No upgrades to the existing bulk and sewage reticulation system is envisaged to accommodate this development."
STORMWATER SYSTEM:
"No bulk stormwater systems are required as the stormwater will be dispersed via several outlets into the existing stream situated towards the Eastern side of the proposed development."
In short, no upgrades will be made to the water supply system, the sewage system, or the stormwater system.
"Access to the proposed development will be provided via the existing circle south of the site. The circle can be accessed from the north via Loch Lomondry Avenue and from the south via King George Drive. This circle will be upgraded to allow waste disposal vehicles to access the development.
According to the developer, access to the property will therefore essentially remain unchanged, with almost no upgrades.
See the '3. TRAFFIC & ACCESS' section below for more details.
"In terms of the current parking requirement of the Integrated Zoning Scheme By-Law, namely 1 parking bay per single residential unit and 2 parking bays per town housing unit plus 0.25 bay per town housing unit for visitors, plus further requirements for business erven and the crèche, a total of 308 parking bays must be provided for this development."
However, according to the Memorandum:
"Application is made to depart from this requirement in respect of the town housing component... which in effect means that a total of 222 parking bays need to be provided for this development."
To have ±185 families (potentially 284 families if approved as submitted) in an area with only 222 parking bays will most likely lead to the use of the open space square as parking area. This will defeat the aim of this central open space. Approximately 185 families will have visitors that must also be accommodated. Defacing the open space square will have a negative impact on this development which will lead to further decay. Therefore, we are of the opinion that a minimum of 1.5 parking bays per dwelling must be provided, i.e. at least 278 parking bays. If the zoning remains as submitted, 2 bays per single residential dwelling unit must be provided on every property zoned as such and the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) needs to be amended accordingly.
2. ROOIRIVIER DEVELOPMENT
This is an even larger development that has already been earmarked behind the Rooirivier Sports Ground. Apparently, this project has not yet been approved. The proposed development will consist of 236 single residential units and a business area that consists of 1.3 ha GLA (50% of the property size, 2.6ha).
This development isn't the main focus of this petition, although most concerns raised in this petition may also be applicable to the Rooirivier Development. As far as we know, the Municipality has not yet granted formal approval for this project.
3. TRAFFIC & ACCESS
The King George Hotel area that includes Kingswood Golf Estate and Rooirivier Rif has two access roads to the CBD, namely via:
1. Plattner Boulevard to York Street, and
2. CJ Langenhoven street from Barkhuizen Drive via King George Hotel (Loch Lomondry Ave behind Rugby Stadium)
The current Traffic Impact Assessment for Village Ridge Estate will, at best, ONLY upgrade the following:
1. The Loch Lomondry Avenue/CJ Langenhoven Road intersection will be upgraded to a signalised intersection (with a slip lane).
2. The Plattner Boulevard/Barkhuizen Drive intersection will be upgraded to a roundabout.
Importantly, nothing is being planned to address the traffic congestion currently experienced at the Plattner Boulevard intersection with York Street, a key access route to the Checkers shopping center, Pizza Hut & Caltex, and a connection to the George CBD and George Airport.
Page 12 of the Traffic Impact Assessment (Revision 1, dated 7 August 2018) completed by Aurecom states the following:
"The TMH 17 [The South African Traffic Impact and Site Traffic Assessment Manual (TMH 17, Volume 1, 2013)] recommends a growth rate between 0% and 3% for low growth areas and a growth rate of 3-4% for average growth areas. An annual traffic growth rate of less than 0.5% has been observed along CJ Langenhoven Road between 2005 and 2018. For this reason, it was decided that a growth rate of 3% would be too high and overly conservative. There could be multiple reasons for the low growth rate: existing congestion levels during peak periods, the introduction of the Go George bus service, etc. Taking into consideration the historic growth rate, the surrounding area and the economic climate of George, an annual growth rate of 1.5% is considered to be more realistic."
It seems likely that Aurecom decided to include (one might argue, largely irrelevant) data from many years ago, as far back as 2005 (when annual traffic growth rates were undoubtedly much lower) in order to arrive at the very low and totally unrealistic average annual growth rate of 1.5%. They therefore underestimate the adverse impact that these developments would have on traffic in these areas. Residents living in the affected areas know full well that the annual increase in traffic far exceeds 1.5% per annum, especially during the last 3-5 years which witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of families who decided to migrate to George.
This petition is primarily to express public opinion regarding the proposed Village Ridge Estate, and secondly, to start assessing the public's sentiment's regarding the proposed Rooirivier Development. The public's concerns about traffic congestion is but one of many valid concerns raised by numerous residents.
Desirability of a land use application includes the following factors: the physical characteristics of the property, existing planning in the area, character of the area, the locality and accessibility of the property as well as the provision of services. Other important considerations are the economic or financial impact and the direct impact on surrounding properties.
Accessibility to the development area is not at an acceptable standard. The civil engineers for the development acknowledge that the traffic improvements proposed (e.g. traffic lights at CJ Langenhoven / Loch Lomond intersection is not a permanent solution. Access to the west through Victoria Street and / or Marthinus Street to reach York Street is therefore a critical requirement for the implementation of the proposed development. We cannot accept the proposed development if this linkage to the west is not implemented simultaneously.
A link to the west via e.g. Palgrave Street will also be critical to ensure sensible traffic flow in the area west of the CBD of George, if the proposed development of a portion of Erf 9354, George (Rooirivier Rif) is to commence. This development proposal for Erven 21028 and 21029, George cannot be considered in isolation – as the traffic study considers a much wider area, in the same way all other planning considerations must also consider a much wider area.
Comments provided in the pre-application consultation document state that the Victoria Street extension is not on the masterplan and that it was agreed that a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) must be submitted in respect of traffic and parking. Just because a link or road is not indicated on the Roads Masterplan does not mean it should not be provided. The planning for the George municipal area has indicated the possibility of creating access to Victoria Street for decades. The development of Erven 21028 and 21029, George cannot be supported without a direct link towards the east to York Street.
A link to west over the Camfersdrift River must be implemented simultaneously. It is an important municipal engineering service that cannot be ignored as determined by Section 42 of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA, 2013).
If the requirements mentioned in this petition are not addressed, the development will most likely have an adverse economic and financial impact on this area west of the CBD. This will then negatively impact on property values, which will in turn reduce the income of the Municipality in terms of rates and taxes. Should the proposed development of Erven 21028 and 21029 materialise, George Municipality's responsibilities in the area regarding the provision of services and maintenance will increase, which must be justified through rates and taxes.
4. ZONING AND DENSITY CONCERNS
Herewith our reasons for objecting to the proposed 'Village Ridge' development on Erven 21028 & 21029:
Erven 21028 & 21029, George are zoned General Residential Zone II, i.e. group housing. The developer's proposal is to develop 99 single residential erven (Single Residential Zone I) and 86 town housing erven (General Residential Zone III). This gives a total of 185 dwelling units with a density of 41 dwelling units per hectare. The development area is 4.5211ha. If the two properties are to be developed in accordance with the present zoning at a density of 35 dwelling units per hectare as the zoning allows, Erf 21028 can accommodate ±114 group housing units and Erf 21029 ±30 group housing units.
Providing 99 erven zoned Single Residential Zone I gives each of these properties the primary land use right of a second dwelling unit, only building plans to indicate a change in use and services contributions will be required. This will increase the proposed 185 dwelling units in this development to 284 dwelling units. It seems that this was not assessed at all in the engineering report. No condition of approval will suffice to address this matter.
The 99 erven should not be zoned Single Residential Zone I. The zoning can remain General Residential Zone II – group housing. The number of units remain the same and the total density of 41 dwelling units per hectare.
It was stated in the pre-application consultation document that the proposed erf sizes are not in accordance with GAP/FLISP ('Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme') standards. We couldn’t find any detail on how this proposed development fits into the housing market and what the requirements/standards are for GAP/FLISP housing. Even if FLISP housing subsidies will be an option to a new home owner, it is concerning that if the home owner sells the property within eight years of benefiting from FLISP, there is a condition that the portion of the government subsidy is to be refunded by the seller. In addition, the seller needs to give government first preference to purchase the property or get approval from the department of human settlements to sell the house. We are not in favour of the possibility that future owners might be forced to sell back their properties to the government.
The pre-application consultation document also states that the proposal does not support the character of the area and that the social gradient is not addressed. To have single residential erven of between ±700m² and ±950m² bordering directly onto single residential erven of approximately 187m² does not make sense. This is also why no Single Residential Zone I erven should be allowed in this proposed development. On average 4 of the proposed single residential erven fits into one of the established single residential erven. If the properties are to be developed in accordance with its current zoning, the average erf size would be 285m². It would therefore have been more acceptable if the erven bordering onto the existing established erven was 285m² in extent or greater.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations will definitely be triggered by both of the two proposed projects.
The National Environmental Management Act No. 107 of 1998 (NEMA for short) specifies several points that need to be adhered to prior to an Environmental Authorisation being granted:
Section 41 that deals with the Public Participation Process (during the EIA process). According to NEMA:
41. (2) The person conducting a public participation process must take into account any relevant guidelines applicable to public participation as contemplated in section 24J of the Act and must give notice to all potential interested and affected parties of an application or proposed application which is subjected to public participation by -
(b) giving written notice, in any of the manners provided for in section 47D of the Act to -
(ii) owners, persons in control of, and occupiers of land adjacent to the site where the activity is or is to be undertaken [or] and to any alternative site where the activity is to be undertaken.
(6) When complying with this regulation, the person conducting the public participation process must ensure that -
(b) participation by potential or registered interested and affected parties is facilitated in such a manner that all potential or registered interested and affected parties are provided with a reasonable opportunity to comment on the application or proposed application.
Furthermore, as per the Water Act (Act 36 of 1998), the developer will also require a Water Use License for bridges as per regulation 21:
(c) impeding or diverting the flow of water in a watercourse
(i) altering the beds, banks, course or characteristics of a watercourse.
The above will be applicable for bridges, so the developer would need to ensure that they have a water use license in place.
Furthermore, because the development is within 500 meters of a wetland they would have needed to have:
1. A freshwater assessment completed
2. A risk assessment completed
This will determine whether the applicant would need to apply for a GA, i.e. General Authorisation (water use), or if they would need to apply for a water use license.
6. PROPERTY DEPRECIATION CONCERNS
Contrary to what is stated in the City and Town Planners application to the Municipality, if one or more of the two proposed affordable housing projects goes ahead, the value of nearby properties will almost certainly decrease, not increase. Property valuations on websites such as Property24, Windeed, Lightstone, and even the Municipal Valuation Roll are primarily a function of the latest average property selling prices, not merely by the perceived aesthetic appeal of a development's architecture. A large number of affordable high-density houses will most likely exert downward pressure on the property valuations of surrounding properties.
To be fair to all surrounding property owners whose property values will be adversely affected by such developments, George Municipality should decrease these owners' property valuations, and as a consequence, also be satisfied with reduced property tax revenues should the Municipality decide to continue with one or more of the developments.
Studies at Stanford University have shown that new affordable housing projects in poorer neighbourhoods increased surrounding home prices and reduced crime, while new affordable housing projects in wealthier neighbourhoods drove down home prices. (Surely both existing and new home owners would presumably want to know that the values of their existing and new homes will appreciate, not depreciate, in value.)
For more details, see 'Who Wants Affordable Housing in their Backyard? An Equilibrium Analysis of Low Income Property Development' by Rebecca Diamond and Timothy James McQuade (July 2015 Working Paper No. 3329, Economics, Stanford University - http://bit.ly/affordablehousingresearch).
Below is a map showing the proposed developments. The proposed Village Ridge Estate (apparently already approved) is located in the center of 'Die Bult' (Highlands), King George Park and Dormehls Drift.
Site plan of the proposed Village Ridge Development in 'Die Bult' (Highlands):
The proposed Rooirivier Development (apparently not yet approved) is located between Kingswood Golf Estate and Dormehls Drift.
Below is a photo of a traffic jam taken at 17h30 on a normal working day at the intersection of Plattner Boulevard and York Street. This is the main access route to shopping centres (Checkers & Caltex) and George CBD for all residents coming from Rooirivier Rif, Kingswood Golf Estate, Earls Court, King George Park, Die Bult (Highlands), Golf Park and the lower part of Heather Park. This important and already problematic intersection is conspicuously absent from the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA). The proposed Village Ridge Development and the Rooirivier Development will only further exacerbate the traffic issue. Furthermore, many erven in Kingswood Golf Estate have yet to be developed.
Only the following 5 intersections were evaluated as part of the Traffic Impact Assessment. The intersection Plattner Boulevard - York Street intersection wasn't even mentioned once.

Below is a wetlands map showing that the proposed Village Ridge development will be within 500 meters of a wetland, i.e. both a Freshwater Assessment and a Risk Assessment are required.

Home Insurance: 2011-01-23
Car insurance Comparison By Condition
A large range of vehicles in AMERICA are increasing daily, along with it bother of cheap car insurance is also boosting. According to the information provided, there tend to be than 190 k motorists with 240 thousand registered vehicles. In the following paragraphs we will study the automobile insurance policies in the various US states:
Car insurance companies in Ca: Every state has some foibles that should be and all insurance firms. All auto insurance firms in California furnish compulsory coverage’ utes fixed by federal government.
Coverages offered by automobile insurance companies in Los angeles:
1. The variety of protection given regarding accident or injury caused within an accident ranges via $15, 000 in order to $ 30, 000. two. Property damage coverage determined up to $5, 000. 3. Optional coverages provided by auto insurance organizations in California are actually collision and all-inclusive, medical payments not to mention bodily coverage for underinsured or uninsured drivers.
Elements considered from “ auto insurance firms in California” during the time of deciding rates.
1. How old you are. 2. The particular vehicle you have got. 3. Your record.
A Brief Insight for the Auto Insurance Recommendations and Coverage on Virginia
Auto insurance protocols of Virginia usually do not match with several other states. Motorists here bear responsibility for just about any damage or injury due to accident. Virginia Beach car insurance provides coverages during three forms.
the. Bodily injury policy cover. b. Property injury liability. c. Underinsured and uninsured insurance policy. d. Liability minimums are usually 25/50/20. Minimum Coverage supplied by Virginia auto insurance protection:
1. Coverage in a single accident or trauma is $25, 000. two. Coverage in just about all injuries is $50, 000. 3. Home damage coverage is actually $20, 000.
Car insurance Rules and Protection in Texas
Texas car insurance requires you to enjoy minimum liability. Numerous offers, discounts and lucrative deals can be found. Your job is just to obtain the lowest quote for yourself.
Minimum level associated with coverages:
Bodily Injuries Liability (BI): $20, 000 for each person.
Property Injury (PD) coverage: $15, 000 for each accident.
With this comparison we could come to conclusion that car insurance companies in Florida are comparatively expensive only to find they provide better insurance coverage.
Most homeowners recognise the value of home insurance coverage. After all, this unexpected can usually occur, and it certainly pays to always be protected in claim the worst should happen to your residence. However, it's essential homeowners to keep in mind that home insurance wouldn't always cover the contents health of their home.
On the actual contrary, home coverage are often that will protect damage in the actual building, whether such damage is attributable to flooding, fire, stormy weather, or a break-in. Still when accidents, healthy disasters, or break-ins can occur, there's often damaged - or scratches to - the contents of the property, rather than scratches to the building on it's own. What's more, damage to the contents from a home can often mean lots of money, as is the outcome with damage in the structure - making it never worth going without a certain amount of home contents insurance coverage, alongside regular architecture insurance.
For this particular reason, it's vital in which homeowners enquire - intimately - about what their home insurance protection covers. Insurance companies can allow both general not to mention detailed guidelines about what each type in policy covers, helping you know very well what level of protection you can actually count on in the event something happens for the contents of your dwelling. If a policy doesn't cover the contents of your dwelling, you'll need to carry a separate insurance plan - or check into an "add-on" to your property insurance policy - to guarantee the contents of your dwelling are covered in addition. You should never assume that her home insurance protection plan covers the contents of your townhouse, as many don't many only offer constrained coverage.
That believed, it's always necessary to gain an knowledge of limited liability policy. Ask any prospective insurers about what exactly their items policies cover : and, if any fundamental personal items are ignored of their capacity of coverage, ask as long as they have any contents insurance or add-on plans which may cover those merchandise. Ultimately, you'll want to check you're fully lined if anything should ever the contents of your townhouse.
If you don't plan to take any chances with your own individual belongings, home contents insurance is a worthwhile consideration, giving you the relief of knowing that the valuable processions are actually protected.
To recognize Know About Renters Insurance plans
If you is a renter and don't have renters insurance you might be asking for some sort of of trouble.

I would change my future to the way I liked it but that could affect someone else. Also could you do a review on Paranormalcy, Supernaturally, and Endlessly? It’s a different genre to me and I want to ask what you thought of it, I know there’s 3 books, but could you do a post for the trilogy?
Sure I’ll definitely give a review on it. I actually read the first 2 books and never got around to post a review.

BRICKrhetoric: A Literary and Visual Arts Publication
BRICKrhetoric is another prestigious online publication that features the works of students and faculty alike. It’s a literary and arts visual journal that’s founded in 2009 in the campus of University of Chicago. What sets this online publication apart from the rest is that aside from featuring different literary works, BRICKrhetoric also highlights the talent of aspiring photographers by showcasing their photos as well as their views on society.
If you’re interested in joining BRICKrhetoric, the good news here is that you have that chance every month. Why? They publish five of their favorite pieces among all the submissions every 5th day of the month. And that’s apart from the quarterly publication that they do.
They have a number of qualifications depending on the piece you’re doing. If you’re doing poetry, there’s no line limit so it’s all up to you but there’s a catch though. You can only submit up to six poems. The same goes for photography, you can only submit six so make sure that every photo counts. For creative nonfiction and persuasive essay, you can submit one or two pieces but make sure that each is within the 2,500-word limit. For fine arts, you can do four. It can be a painting, sculpture, collage, calligraphy, film, mosaic or installation. The same goes for science as art projects. You can do four as long as it’s a scientific theme that’s featured in drawings, photography, poetry, prose or any other artwork.

verykerryberry: A Mended Quilt
I made a lap quilt for Lottie six years ago and it is much loved. It is very much hers and she associates it with sitting on my knee. If we need to travel or go somewhere with her, it calms and settles her. She has another quilt and more blankets, but this one is special. When I originally made it, I combined vintage fabric with Denyse Schmidt and some of the vintage squares in the centre started wearing out a couple of years ago. I had darned them on the machine but more washing and use meant more drastic action was needed. So, I pulled together some similar fabrics- DS and other repro styles and made a centre Around-the-World block to applique on top.
Before, a rather threadbare centre...
Around-the-world mid-construction. The centre dog is from a Michael Miller/Tammis Keefe Tribute Dogs fabric from a friend.
These squares were cut the same size as those in the original quilt, but it has been washed and used so many times that the old squares had shrunk and the new additions extended over them when I zip zagged the block edges on top. I quilted through the new squares to match the previous quilting.
Here she is, just about to snooze. She's been fortunate to respond to the various heart medications well so we feel we've had extra time. She's still a happy, silly loving pup, living life to the full.
Labels: around the world, quilt
Barb Neiwert 24 June 2018 at 15:22
What a nice job you've done to refurbish this beloved quilt! It looks awesome and ready to use for the long haul! Glad your pup is doing well.
verykerryberry 25 June 2018 at 12:57
Thank you Barb, it is revitalised!
Little Quiltsong 25 June 2018 at 11:46
Little adorable Lottie! You did a beautiful reconstruction on this well-loved quilt!
verykerryberry 25 June 2018 at 12:58
Aw, thankyou! She and I are very happy with it!
Rebecca Grace 26 June 2018 at 03:13
Thanks for showing how you did this repair. I made a quilt for one of my sons where one of the batik fabrics is disintegrating every single place I used it in the quilt but all the other fabrics look great. Did you replace any of the missing batting in the areas where you appliqued new fabric, and did you attempt to remove the worn out fabric bits or just cover them up with the new fabric? Your Lottie is so sweet. I'm glad she's doing well.
verykerryberry 26 June 2018 at 20:59
I had already sewn over the batting just to hold it in place as the particular fabric squares starting to thin. The new part was just pinned over the top of the worn out part! It gives an extra reinforcement to the area she uses most too. We are so glad she's responded so well.
Isisjem 26 June 2018 at 11:48
Fantastic idea for a repair! She clearly loves her quilt very much!
verykerryberry 26 June 2018 at 21:00
She really does, as soon as I touch it or hold it she gets very excited and knows it means we're going to sit down togetherr- although it's a bit hot for that at the moment!

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: So Long. Penny!
Every generation of teen aged and prepubescent boys have their iconic women. For some it was Bo Derek, Farrah Fawcett, or Cheryl Tiegs. Young preteen boys today may swoon for Miranda Cosgrove on “iCarly” or the vocal stylings and videos of Demi Lovato but for guys of a certain age our “it” girl will always be Gloria Winters.
You may remember her better as Sky King’s niece, Penny. A perky all-American blond who was immortalized in song by Jimmy Buffet in his homage to all things fifties, “Pencil Thin Moustache” She was an the girl next door for millions of American boys. It looked like Penny had the perfect life for someone growing up in small town Kentucky; no parents, not a lot of school and a cool uncle with an airplane who lets her get involved in his adventures.
Ms. Winters died last week at her home in Southern California. She will always be remembered as the wholesome Penny because Ms. Winters had the good sense to quit acting before she became a failure as an adult actress or fell into alcoholism or drug addiction. From accounts I have read she did exactly what her character Penny would have, got out while the getting was good and lived a normal life.
Katy Perry may think she is Miss “It” today and she may be but I wonder if any future legend of rock will every write about his unmet desire for her. Besides, I don’t think Ms. Perry has a cool uncle with a plane and Ms. Winters never kissed a girl.

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: A Recommendation
I recieved an e mail from Mr. David J. Theroux, the Founder and President of the Independant Institute. I thought his blog on C.S. Lewis was interesting and worth passing on to the readers of TVRWC.
Though I am still researching The Independant Institute and all they represent I felt the blog on Mr. Lewis worth reading.

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy The Expendables: Where’s Chuck?
Like any other red-blooded, rock ribbed, slightly overweight and out of shape movie loving American man, I am waiting for the Friday release of “The Expendables.” I am waiting for the body count of the summer to begin with all of my favorite 80’s and 90’s actions stars! I heard they were in there. I went over to IMBD to take a look at any early information about the movie and sure enough there were Stallone and Lundgren. One can only hope that there is some homage to Rocky IV in the movie.
The new tough guys Li and Statham are in the movie along with extreme fighter Randy Couture and fake fighter Steve Austin. There are cameos by Willis and the Democrat Governor of California Schwarzenegger. All the action heroes are there…except my favorite, Chuck Norris!
My favorite Chuck Norris movie is the 1985 cop drama “Code of Silence.” “Delta Force” and “Missing in Action” have better action and more blowing up stuff but they lack something that “Code” had: me! I got my first chance to be in a major film when they shot “Code of Silence” in Chicago. I was cast as an extra and later got to be an uncredited cop in a scene with Mr. Norris. It was an awesome experience for a young comic. He was friendly and personable and chatted between takes with everybody.
The movie is a “Who’s Who” of Chicago actors some of whom have since hit the big time. Dennis Farina, John Mahoney, Lou Damiani and my occasional drinking buddy from back then, character actor tough guy Ron Dean. The movie also features one of the great all time movie bad guys Henry Silva. The plot is simple, a good cop fights the Mafia, Columbian drug runners and the rest of the Chicago police force. Of course, Chuck wins. I hope that didn’t ruin the movie for anyone!
The thing I have always liked about Mr. Norris both then and now was his complete disregard for what “Hollywood” thought of his work. He wasn’t making movies for them he was making movies for me. Since he has “come out” politically I find he has the same attitude about his political detractors.
So what’s up with that, Sly? Why no cameo for Chuck? As a right wing nut job my first impulse is to think Chuck’s conservatism and support of Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election might have kept him off the cast list. I don’t have any evidence of that but that never stops Hollywood lefties from saying things!

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy The Ground Zero Mosque
I may be a little off from other conservative voices on the question of an alleged radical Muslim cleric building a mosque near Ground Zero but I say; let ‘um!
I don’t know the exact number of feet away from Ground Zero this mosque would need to be to keep everybody. I don’t know what would qualify this building for “landmark” status. I do know that the idea of locating a Mosque there and opening it on September 11th shows not only rank insensitivity to the victim’s families but open hostility to our way of life. Still, as a free nation it is the things we find most abhorrent that we must protect most diligently.
If this group of Muslims own this property. then I must defend their right to do all that is legal with that property. If they think their actions will somehow raise tolerance for their sect they are sadly mistaken. If they want to be crappy neighbors then I would love to see New York do the same right back at them.
