Surrender is so necessary,
It actually is so sweet.
I see it not as cast down,
Or my face toward the ground to meet.
The image is me as a child,
Standing on my feeble feet,
They may be shaky and tired,
But even on tip-toes I raise to entreat.
For as a child to a parent,
I raise my arms up, open wide,
To be swept up in loving arms,
Gathered up to God's heart, held close inside.
Here is where I am provided for,
Here is all I need.
If my arms were busy grappling,
They would not be empty and free.
To reach high and surrender,
To be empty of what I don't need,
Free then to receive all I truly dream.

LNB #049: Work-Life Balance (sigh)
Summary: This is a short work week due to the Labor Day Holiday. People are slammed, trying to get work done and the children back to school...and everything else. Someone said their short week felt more like a punishment requiring them to work even longer hours. Conversations have turned to the mythic Work-Life Balance. Where did this come from? This term was coined around 1986. Men and women of color and white women had begun making serious inroads into the professional workforce. The country had been experiencing a depressed economy and people were working longer hours to try to get ahead. Added to this, workforce reductions caused people to work even longer hours. Workers balked at complaining over the extended work weeks for fear that they'd wind up on the chopping block. There was a heady mix of increased worker productivity, advances in technology, stepped-up globalization, and more people in the workplace that went into the RIF brew. I remember taking a group of managers off into the "wilderness" (Oconomowoc, Wisconsin) to meet in groups and discuss our personal mission statements. Sounds nice, but the gathered managers and key employees were left wondering: How do achieve that much vaunted "balance" when my evaluation depends on producing results (no matter how long I have to work to get them). Added to the mix is the trend for performance management systems to include evaluation of a worker's work-life balance. Now, I had been in HR for a number of years and I know I didn't have a solid explanation of WLB. As it turned out, no one else did. Seemed kind of pointless. How you think gives an insight to how you work? Even though I'm trained in behavioural science, I'm not a fan of extensive testing in the workplace--mostly because I'm not sure that those tests are valid (measures someting worth measuring) or reliable (consistent application of the measure over time). Taken in broad strokes, humans tend to think and solve problems in two dynamic ways (there are others, but just hang on: we're embarking on a little chat here): linear or serial thinking and non-linear or parallel thinking. In a serial world, a person handles one problem set through to completion. Ask them to take on several projects and you'd be spitting into the wind. Parallel or non-linear thinking and problem solving tends to see people working on several projects at the same time (or moving from project to project). In most companies, we make space for only one kind of thinking: care to guess which one? Does it work? Now, I've met those people who thrive on the energy and drama of a packed schedule. You may like to run from pillar to post with your hair on fire, trailing paper, taking on the cellphone and sliding into a parking space at the gym in just enough time for yoga. You may like being up in the wee hours checking email and crafting a question for your LinkedIn Q&A forum. If that works for you: God love you. Keep on keeping on. There really is no need to force change on a person whose personal system is working. Where we get into trouble is when it no longer serves us: That's when it's time to consider other options and develop other habits. _____________ FOR MORE INFORMATION, TO JOIN THE DISCUSSION FORUM, LISTEN AGAIN OR READ SHOW NOTES Lalita Amos http://www.TotalTeamSolutions.com/podcast/podcasting.htm http://totalteam.blogspot.com 214 615 6505, 3895 for questions or comments

While much of the world focused on the newly discovered species H. naledi, evolutionary researchers presented another landmark study claiming that chimpanzee hands are more advanced than human hands.
The claim flips on its head the idea that human ancestors evolved advanced hands after leaving apes in the trees. When the authors of the Nature Communications study tried to trace trends in hand development across evolutionary history, they discovered a "complex pattern" that made it impossible. Every type of hand is complex and suited to different needs.
In fact, human hands—modern and Neanderthal—are uniquely designed to do things ape hands cannot do. And vice versa. The new study confirmed that each ape—living and extinct—has hand proportions suited to different lifestyles. That is what we would expect from a God who specifically designed every kind of hand from the beginning.

Ba Hao
Time Out says
A Chinese-themed bar that's worth a return to Soi Nana
Bangkok has recently been seeing the mushrooming of Orient-inspired bars across the city. But while most of these joints can boast of amazing interiors, there's a noticeable lack of decent bar chow coming from their kitchens. And this is where Ba Hao, Soi Nana's newest Chinese-themed watering hole, pleads a difference.
Ba Hao, which means "number eight" in Chinese (eight is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture), spreads over four floors that includes a cocktail bar as well as a small hotel. On the ground floor, a blinking neon-lit logo radiates a red glow that's evocative of the lights and gritty feel of Shanghai's red-light district. Home-style Chinese furniture, however, takes away any brothel notions by injecting the intimate vibe of an old-school coffee house. The second floor is a living room/lobby for guests checking into the hotel rooms on the third and fourth floors.
One of Ba Hao's owners, Tikhamporn Chuenkittivoravat, is equipped with culinary training from Mandarin Oriental Bangkok and claims a kitchen stint at The China House, the hotel's swanky dimsum outpost. She's helped put together a relatively small but well-curated food menu featuring Chinese-style street eats that are bold in flavor and meant to be paired with booze. Start out with the cold savory-sweet tofu (B158) that's immersed in a soup of herbal soy sauce, hoisin, and spicy sesame oil. The duck dumplings (B218) are fulfilling little pockets filled with shredded duck and served with a gingery sweet and sour sauce. Chinese scallion pancake is recreated as a burrito, loaded with perfectly-braised pork belly and fried egg. Clean your palate with the tangy soy pudding with goji berry jam (B158).
The bar offers a selection of craft beer in bottles and on tap. Mixologists from The Never Ending Summer and Junker Bar have helped out with the drinks list, creating Chinese-inspired concoctions with names like Forbidden Gold (Tsingtao beer with peach liquor and lime juice, B288), and a Negroni (B288) that's given an Oriental twist with ginseng and a Chinese energy drink.

Top 5 Cryptocurrencies to Mine | ETH, XMR, LTC, DASH, BTG
Here in the cryptosphere we all seek the prosperity promised to us by Satoshi's gift of freedom from the financial slavery of the past. Everyone wants to realize the dream of financial security through cryptos.
We buy, sell and earn various coins and tokens in that pursuit. However, there is another way to obtain cryptos, and that is through mining.
2 falsehoods
Many newcomers to the cryptosphere believe one of two falsehoods about crypto mining.
1) That crypto mining is too technical. While building and setting up your own hardware mining farm is a bit technical; there are a number of software programs and mining pools that anyone can start mining within less than an hour. These options put mining within everyone's reach. Falsehood #1 - DESTROYED.
And, the much more common misconception...
2) That crypto mining is the road to quick riches. While it is certainly possible, even probable, that you can make an amazing amount of money through crypto mining; it is NOT a quick process by any mean. Mining takes time. Falsehood #2 - DESTROYED.
Now that we have established what is not true; let's talk about the reality of crypto mining.
As we established earlier; mining is by no means a get rich quick scheme. In fact, it takes quite a bit of time to mine a significant amount of cryptos without massive financial investment at the outset. As most of us do not have such a large investment to spare; mining will be through a pool or software mining; which again, some time.
The first choice
Even with such limitations crypto mining can be a lucrative endeavor; if you choose the right crypto to mine. As it was born the first Bitcoin is everyone's first choice for mining. While we here at CryptoDetail run mining software to grab our little pieces of Satoshi; Bitcoin is in no way the most profitable crypto to mine at this stage of the game. With the flood of huge mining operations around the planet; getting any significant profit mining BTC is simply not feasible.
So, after digging through the possibilities we have put together five crypto mining options that will give you the best chance for profit in 2018.
#1 - Ethereum
Ethereum, or "Baby Bitcoin", has given us the expanded universe of crypto through the birth of the smart contract. However, even with all of the amazing inventions we have seen built upon that powerful bit of code, ETH is still very reasonably priced. And, although mining difficulty is high for ETH, that consistently low (compared to BTC) price is what makes Ethereum mining profitable. That lower price range, and the fact that ETH, despite its dollar value, is absolutely invaluable in light of the fact that this blockchain controls every token created for the thousands of projects that are up and running; as well as the majority of those being born today. For all of these reasons; ETH mining is at the top of our CryptoDetail 2018 crypto mining list.
#2 - Monero
Of all of the cryptocurrencies Monero has the largest "cult following" in terms of users who value their privacy and anonymity. Monero is the king of "my money is none of your business". However, even with such a group of active users; Monero is still very low priced in comparison to BTC. In fact, XMR is less than half the cost of ETH at the writing of this article. Add that low price to the fact that Monero mining difficulty is also low in comparison to other cryptos. This makes Monero our #2 choice for mining profitability in 2018.
#3 - Litecoin
Litecoin comes in at the #3 spot on our 2018 crypto mining list. Why? With its quick transfer times, great track record and very interesting plans for the future LTC also has a significant following. Those factors, along with the fact that Litecoin is easily transferrable to BTC for fiat liquidation, makes this crypto one that can be mined for a significant profit margin. And, with some of the pools mining LTC today, it is possible to increase those profits in a fairly short amount of time.
[NOTE - "fairly short amount of time" does NOT = "get rich quick". Rather, this is a comparison to gaining profit through mining other cryptos. Don't lose track of the facts by getting lost in the hype.]
#4 - Dash
Dash is another of our favorite mining choices. This one is a rather easy pick. The low price and low mining difficulty make DASH mining a no-brainer. The only reason Dash isn't higher on the CryptoDetail 2018 crypto mining list is because its mining difficulty, while low, isn't quite as low as XMR or LTC. However, the extremely low price of this coin makes mining DASH profitable endeavor.
#5 - Bitcoin Gold
Do you wish you could go back in time to when mining BTC was a sure thing? Is a windfall just waiting to happen? Unfortunately, George Carlin and his Bill & Ted time-traveling phone booth is merely a figment of our Hollywood-induced imagination. So, since we can't go back in time, mining Bitcoin Gold is our next best choice. Here at CryptoDetail, we are lovers of all cryptos. And, any chance we have to profitably mine a Bitcoin forked coin is a chance we want to take to get the profits we know will come with all of those coins. So, BTG, with its current low price is our choice for the ultimate mine and HODL, as a sort of rainy day fund. One way or the other every coin born from the King of Cryptos is a sure thing in terms of future profits.
Regardless of your choice of any of our 2018 profitable crypto mining coins above; we at CryptoDetail have researched the possibilities to give you the top 5 possibilities for this year. In the cryptosphere, we have to act quickly to get those momentary profits. So, when you consider mining for the remainder of this year, get in on one, two, or all of these opportunities and you can't go wrong.
Good luck with your own mining operations! Happy HODLing!!!

Bernardo Ruiz's 'Reportero' Film Highlights Dangers For Journalists In Mexico
22/03/2012 at 10:43 am 1 comment
Hector Felix Miranda was a popular Tijuana columnist – respected by readers, but reviled by the people he wrote about, most often Tijuana's political elite.
When he was gunned down in the late 1980s, it was a wake-up call for the staff of Zeta – the scrappy weekly newspaper Felix founded to challenge Baja California's culture of political corruption. The slaying showed that freedom of expression in Mexico was not free.
That was 24 years ago, when the biggest threat to a Mexican free press was the country's all-controlling single party government: the PRI. Today, the dangers from drug cartels are more widespread, more brazen and with big guns.
More than 40 journalists have been murdered in Mexico since 2007, many of them for reporting on the country's ongoing drug war. To protect their staffs, many news outlets now openly self-censor.
Through that evolution, as many newspapers have backed off, Zeta's staff has pressed on, through murders and attempted murders of its staff.
Bernardo Ruiz's new documentary, Reportero, takes us to Tijuana – to visit Zeta's journalists as they cope with the daily dangers of uncovering the illicit ties between power, money and drugs in Mexico's largest border city.
"As journalists we couldn't ignore this real problem that was growing in our society," said Adela Navarro Bello, Zeta's current editor.
The cost has been great. A second editor was killed in front of his children, and a third narrowly survived after being riddled with bullets. Others were threatened.
Through interviews and archival footage, Reportero documents each of these unpunished crimes, and as the bloodshed mounts – as journalists don bodyguards and bulletproof vests – it ponders a key question: At what point is the story no longer worth the danger?
That became a central internal conflict at Zeta, as the paper's celebrated but weathered editor, Jesus Blancornelas, began to doubt the newspaper's ability to change anything at all.
Before he died of cancer in 2006, his associates – hard-nosed reporters drawn to the newspaper out of respect for its editorial mission – had to convince him otherwise.
"I asked him not to close it. To keep the paper going," said Navarro, the paper's current editor. "I told him we shouldn't allow organized crime to win and destroy our paper."
The film is striking when you realize where it's set.
Just north of the border, San Diego was featured in the 2004 comedy Anchorman, in which the birth of a panda at the San Diego Zoo was parodied as the biggest news story of the year.
But Reportero doesn't dwell on the vastly different lives that journalists lead north and south of the border, thought it does hint at the ties that bind the two regions.
The paper that has cost journalists their lives is printed in San Diego and driven the few miles south into Tijuana for delivery each week, a practice that started when government-controlled companies refused to sell Zeta the paper to print on.
The film is not light on tragedies: the deaths of reporters, the toll on their families, the attention that drug stories divert from reporting social issues like poverty, and of course the harm that a stifled press inflicts on a free society.
But it offers hope in the form of veteran reporters like Sergio Haro, for whom investigative journalism is not a job, but a calling, regardless of the risks.
And through the words of Zeta's longtime editor, Jesus Blancornelas, whose defiance still inspires a new generation of the newspaper's young reporters.
"When you're holding on to a delicate story, you're fearful," Blancornelas said in an archived interview in the film. "But the fear vanishes once the story is published. Because before it's published, I'm the only one who knows about it. And someone who could be compromised by my story may try to do something to me. But once the story is out, everyone knows. I'm no longer scared."

Moore, Marianne
Moore, Marianne,1887–1972, American poet, b. St. Louis, grad. Bryn Mawr College, 1909. She lived mostly in New York City, working first as a librarian and then as editor of the Dial magazine (1925–29). Beginning in 1929, she devoted herself to caring for her ailing mother, who had a profound influence over her verse. After her mother died (1947), she cultivated an image of a Brooklyn Dodger–loving eccentric, often clad in cloak and tricorn hat. Her poetry, constructed like a precise mosaic, is witty, intellectual, and often satirical. Volumes of her verse include Poems (1921), Observations (1924), What Are Years? (1941), Collected Poems (1951; Pulitzer Prize), O to Be a Dragon (1959), and Complete Poems (1967). Among her other works are the translation The Fables of La Fontaine (1954) and the essays Predilections (1955). During her literary career, Moore constantly revised her poems; the finest versions are not always the final ones. All versions of her poems through 1924 Becoming Marianne Moore: Early Poems, 1907–1924 (2002, ed. by R. G. Schulze); the final and other versions of later work are in New Collected Poems by Marianne Moore (2017, ed. by H. C. White).
See Selected Letters (1997, ed. by B. Costello); biographies by C. Molesworth (1990) and L. Leavell (2013); studies by G. W. Nitchie (1969), B. Costello (1981), M. Holley (1988), and C. Goodridge (1989).

The Jerome is surprisingly willing to be adorned. Here he models a sparkling diamond pendant on an elegant silk ribbon and a hand-tatted lace collar.
If one happens to be un- or under-employed, snow-bound, or restless in some other way and temporarily impecuniary, one can re-create this look for one's own darling feline companion with a few inexpensive items.
If one doesn't have the Hope (or other named) diamond around, one can use a costume glass pendant. If one doesn't have silk or velvet ribbon at hand, one can use recycled Christmas (or other gift-laden holiday) ribbon. If one doesn't have the skill to tat up a collar, one can find an old doily and carefully remove the middle so it fits over one's cat's slender head.
The Jerome is looking rather like The Falstaff, but it is surely due to an unflattering camera angle.

Question: I have a 1998 z24 Cavalier 2.4 Twin Cam, when im driving the road after about 20 mins it will stall out an die randomly. No back fire, no fuel smell, nothing. The gauges going crazy an it shuts off. Itll start back up after about an hour, but before it does it just trys turning over. Its not having any issue with loosing horsepower. Can someone please help me.
Answer: It sounds like you have a fuel pressure or no spark problem.
You are going to need to check for spark at the spark plugs when it stalls and does not restart. If there is no spark, you could have an ignition module or crank sensor going bad. If you do have spark, the next thing is to check the fuel pressure.
It is harder to check fuel pressure on older Cavaliers since they do not have a pressure test port. You would need a gauge and adapter hoses. Or at least listen for the fuel pump in the gas tank to hum when it is cranking.
As always, as scan of the computer for trouble codes can also help. Even if the check engine light was never on when the car was running, there may be a code stored.
These older Chevy Cavaliers also had a problem with water getting into the computer and causing problem. It is located inside the passenger side wheel well behind the shield. Unplug the connectors and look for corrosion. Also look for it around the computer housing.
I have a question about my car yesterday I was cleaning the outside of my car at a car wash and got in it and ever since then I started smelling like a WD-40 or like when you spray your house for bugs smell coming from my car I don't know if that's possible for the car some how to smell that way or maybe it was like something in the water or soap but I still smell it today not constantly all the time but like a light smell of it every so often.
Answer: Yes, if the water got under the hood it would give off a smell.
Ig the car was running at the time, you may be smelling the exhaust. If the car is running lean, it could do that. Also, if the catalytic converter is starting to go bad, that could be your problem as well.

Today I checked my favorite messageboard "Gumbo Ya-Ya" to see if I had any shout outs. I don't usually get a whole lot of them, but today I got one from one of my favoritest posters "Cabana Boy."
He said, "I have tagged your blog for a meme. This is new stuff for me, so feel free to ignore it if you wish... but thought you ought to know so it isn't a surprise."
Well, the first thing I thought when I saw the word "tagged" was, "Tagged? What's that mean? Did I do something wrong? Did I write something obscene or something???" So I read through my thoughts again and saw that I had indeed written something obscene. "Wheatgrass juice!" That's right. The stuff that the Backstreet Boys claim is good for you. Then I thought, "Oh...mah...gawd! I'm going to blogger hell for that."
Seriously, I didn't know what being "tagged for a meme" meant and I wasn't going to come right out and ask Cabana because I didn't want him to think I was a dork. So I looked it up. It's actually something GOOD. Whew. I dodged a bullet.
So, in short, being tagged for a meme means: somebody likes your blog. COOL!
So it's my turn to tag those I blogs I love!
And here's how we say thank you for the honor:
1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your entry.
Well, I've done the first two already...so here's the unimportant stuffs about me:
1. I'm a packrat when it comes to memories. I save little things that remind me of good times. Like a receipt, a letter, a card, etc. And I put them in pretty little boxes. If I have a particularly sad day, I pull a box out of the closet and look through all of the memories.
2. Every time I color my hair, it comes out some shade of red. Doesn't matter what color I use. Doesn't matter if I strip it and start from scratch...it's always some shade of red. It's my destiny to be a redhead.
3. I'm addicted to Tru-TV. (formerly Court TV). Love Forensic Files, The Investigators, and the Case Files of Dale Hinman.
4. I can't even go to the bathroom without all of the pets following me! Seriously. They're spoiled rotten. They think I'm going to go somewhere without them.
5. If I knew he could win, I'd vote for Earl Hickey for President.
6. The big question going through my mind right now is this: "What the heck happened to Victoria Principal's face???"
Now, it's time to tag my faves!
DixiePeach She brings up some notalgia that triggers some happy thoughts!
Midlife Ramblings, Sanity Optional I can identify!
Adventures of the Coconuter He has been places I've only dreamed of going.
Because I Said So! The funniest mommy blog I ever read in my life!
Olga, The Traveling Bra Very uplifting.
Thoughts From The Corner Office My boss. He hasn't written much, but he's got good stuff! I look forward to his new posts. I know, I know...y'all think I'm kissin' butt. Normally, that would be true...but since he's my boss and has known me for years, the old kissin' butt thing don't work with him. Anyway, I have to give him even more kudos because his blog doesn't have any typos. You should read his memos, though. Those are murder!
So, there are my 6 for good readin'!
Thank you for the honor Cabanaboy I enjoy your Michael stories! Keep 'em comin'!
I got hacked but I'm back now Y'all!!

I am an Academy Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki. I serve as the PI in two projects funded by Academy of Finland:
My current research interests mainly concern applications of machine learning in the context of natural language processing / understanding.
At the moment I am also a visiting scientist at Speechly working on NLU stuff.
Here you can find reference implementations of some algorithms I've worked on, and datasets used in some of my papers.
Triplet data that we collected for the experiments in (Heikinheimo & Ukkonen, HCOMP 2013) is available here. Please see the README file for instructions. If you use this in your research, I am kindly asking you to cite our HCOMP 2013 paper.
Spectra is an algorithm for quickly estimating the "pattern frequency spectrum" of a binary dataset. This is a curve that shows the number of frequent itemsets for a given support threshold.
Please try out a demo, it will work even on your (smart)phone! Source code is available on GitHub.
The paper (van Leeuwen & Ukkonen, ECMLPKDD 2014) is available online, and more details about the demo in particular can be found in our short technical report.
Fast-Skyline is an algorithm for computing approximate "skylines" (non-dominated sets) of subsets of size-k subject to two functions, one linear, one submodular. That is, the algorithm computes the set of non-dominated subsets of size-k. This problem has applications in e.g. viral marketing.
The algorithm is described in (van Leeuwen & Ukkonen, SDM 2015), and extends the work in (van Leeuwen & Ukkonen, ECMLPKDD 2013). More information can be found here.
In our ECMLPKDD 2017 paper we describe a method for ranking subgroups using network-based techniques. The code is available on GitHub.
Cost calculator is a simple Javascript application for learning how asymmetric misclassification costs and imbalanced class distribution affect performance. I made this for teaching purposes, maybe it's useful for you too.

ANNOUNCING…Giving Life and Taking It, my personal story, has been published in Writing Menopause, editors Jane Cawthorne and E. D. Morin. It is now available on Amazon at $22.89 (I think in Canadian money.) I'm honored to be published among such notable writers and groundbreaking editors.
From Amazon: The Writing Menopause literary anthology is a diverse and robust collection about menopause: a highly charged and often undervalued transformation. It includes over fifty works of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, interviews and cross-genre pieces from contributors across Canada and the United States that break new ground in portraying menopause in literature. The collection includes literary work from award-winning writers such as Roberta Rees, Margaret Macpherson, Lisa Couturier and Rona Altrows. Emerging voices such as Rea Tarvydas, Leanna McLennan, Steve Passey and Gemma Meharchand, and an original interview with trans educator and pioneering filmmaker Buck Angel, are also featured. This anthology fills a sizable gap, finding the ground between punchline and pathology, between saccharine inspiration and existential gloom. The authors neither celebrate nor demonize menopause. These are diverse depictions, sometimes lighthearted, but just as often dark and scary. Some voices embrace the prospect of change, others dread it. Together, this unique offering reflects the varied experience of menopause and shatters common stereotypes.

ANNOUNCING…Giving Life and Taking It, my personal story, has been published in Writing Menopause, editors Jane Cawthorne and E. D. Morin. It is now available on Amazon at $22.89 (I think in Canadian money.) I'm honored to be published among such notable writers and groundbreaking editors.

more on A Nosegay of Violets, a writer's memoir of psychic awakening
Waiting so long to write about the strange things that happened to me was a natural decision. I first spoke about seeing a ghost while I was working in my bookshop in Bordentown, New Jersey. This came freely because I was conducting an annual ghost walk as a fund raiser for my business group. There were other houses on the tour that also had true stories of hauntings. There is a comfort and freedom when you are among your own kind. And people who lived with ghosts in their houses were my kind.
Once word got out that I lived with a little girl ghost in my house, others came to me with their stories. They, too, had not spoken of their experiences for the same reasons. One, who would believe them? Two, how many people would ridicule and make fun of them? Three, would the value of their homes drop? And more reasons followed.
Once houses were placed on the tour, they became, if any change at all, higher in value. People sought haunted houses to live in because they wanted that experience. It became cool.
Remember, Bordentown was settled in 1682, adding much Revolutionary War history to its stories. The earlier residents were practically still living to the present-day residents. We kept their personalities alive and familiar through the Historical Society and through fund raisers. One of which was a Friday evening garden party at the DeSantis house. Several of us dressed in our chosen Bordentown "hero/shero." We had many to choose from.
The first year I wore all white as was the custom of Quaker Patience Lovell Wright. She was America's first woman sculptor (mostly in wax) who spied in the court of King George in England, sending all the information she discovered to Benjamin Franklin. He was living in France at the time.
Once we entered the garden in costume, we became that person, staying in character, answering questions as that person would have done. It was great fun and imbedded history into our bones. I'm not quite sure about Ms. Wright drinking wine, tho she could have. No wonder ghosts came out of the woodwork!
History often plays such a big part in a haunting. It seems some folks felt such passion about the place they once lived and the events that took place while they lived there, that they just don't want to leave it. Remember that time in the afterlife is not like we count time here on earth.
It's not unusual for a Revolutionary War soldier to show up in a Bordentown house, as it has in a couple (Living with Ghosts) where so much intense passion was felt during that period. In the Anderson Street and the White House stories, both places went under some major remodeling. This really brings the spirits out of the woodwork, and it takes a lot of time for them to settle back down again.
Of course, I don't know why they should care, they just walk through walls (where the doorway used to be) anyway. Wow. What a talent to have!
Moving into my new home requires a good smudging even though the house bursts with the best spirit ever. I start at my front door, give thanks to the four directions as I turn to face each one. The spirit above and the spirit below are added to those thanks for my blessings. Especially for being right here where I am meant to be for my best living right now.
As soon as I step inside (I don't even look to see if the neighbors are watching. Perhaps I'm unknowingly teaching them something.) I light the sage sitting in my large conch shell, with a wooden match. It's important to use a wooden match. As the smoke rises, I wave it outward with the eagle feather that I found in the forest one day. Walking clock-wise, I go from room to room, chasing negative spirits away, if there are any around, and inviting good spirits to come join me, watch over me (and cat Lizzie) to share in my joy of being here. Lizzie follows in my footsteps. She's done this before, too.
There. Done. The house carries the aroma of burnt sage, a cleansing odor that comforts.
When I was still living in Bordentown, a lady stopped in my bookshop to ask a question. She wanted to buy a particular house in town and wanted to know if it was haunted. I didn't know of any haunts hanging around the house, yet encouraged her to smudge, anyway. She was new to the concept. . . . I like spreading the word that helps others.

Cats are so tuned in to us real, live people as well as spirits who have stayed behind or drop in for a visit now and then. While going over my notes for my upcoming memoir, I came across a notation about an interview done in Bordentown a few years ago. Lora was telling me about the three cats that lived in her apartment at the time; her cat, her daughter's Maine Coon cat, Draven von Lichtenstein, and a shadow cat. The shadow cat came with the apartment. He was just a shadow that ran from one room to another, leaped up onto the kitchen table, or jumped down from the sunny windowsill with a loud "b-r-r-p" just like the 'live' cats did.
As I sat at the kitchen table to record Lora's story, I lay my folder in front of me. Lora's cat leapt up, snuggled onto that folder and looked up at me, as if to say, "Get this all down right. I'm here to be sure you don't miss a thing." And that is where the cat stayed, throughout the entire interview, never moving, eyes watching me, interested in all that was said." Cats are amazing!
From Living with Ghosts
Filed under Bordentown, Cats, hauntings, living with ghosts, paranormal
It was a great morning last Saturday, when Sandra Martin hosted a talk, reading, and book signing for me at BackYard Birds 'n Books-Sandra being the books, in Bracey, VA. Anyone can read the book, so I enjoy talking about the "back story" that doesn't get into the books. That's fun.
Since one story about ghosts leads to other stories, I wound up talking a lot about Bordentown (NJ) and spirits that have visited me during the night. They were, among others, the Fraser family, coming one at a time to help me in locating information about them. This was when I was writing Major Fraser's, the history of a particular house in Bordentown and all its inhabitants from Day One. Actually, before there was a building on the property. I enjoyed writing this book, so I love talking about the writing of it. The book is now out-of-print, but there are still a few copies floating around.
Interesting family.
Even more interesting: since I brought my copy of The Munich Girl by Phyllis Edgerly Ring along with my passion for the story, and my discussing it, brought me being connected to the author through Lisa Hagan. We have both been long-time members of the IWWG. . . . hmmm. The more I think of this, the more I remember having a conversation or two with her during those years. WOW! Synchronicity. Ya gotta luv it!
A review on The Munich Girl will be coming up soon. You don't want to miss it.
Mucho thanks to Sandra Martin for this wonderful moment in my life, shared with the best audience ever. They took part and shared some of their stories, too. How cool is that.

Twisting Tradition: Myles Karr's Illustrative Style Defies Category
Some artists slightly blur the boundaries of styles, Myles Karr smashes them together with force.
There are very few tattoo artists that have developed a style that is completely their own. Brooklyn's Myles Karr is one of these artists. Briefly familiarize yourself with his work and you will be able to spot a Myles Karr piece for the rest of your life. I've been following his career closely since he threw a piece on the back of my leg a decade ago, and have watched in awe as Myles has perfected a grim sense of whimsy that seems to define his style alongside his endless creativity.
Karr has created more than just his own style, his tattoos are a twisted world in and of themselves – a world of distorted shapes, pale shades, and stark contrasting imagery. It is as if all of his beautiful, twisted creations were plucked from the same alternate reality. He brings these visions to life through a seemingly effortless use of shape, color, and texture that would be hard for many seasoned artists to replicate.
There exists a paradoxical realism to his output of things that do not exist — a strange lifelike quality to things that will never live. Conversely, his real world subjects always seem to come across as bizzaro versions of themselves from a much cooler looking dimension. Haunting impossible faces with more eyeballs staring at you than have any right to, brutal amalgamations of man and beast pieced together with a sound logic outside the grasp of most, and a deeply disturbed vision of mother nature are all hallmarks of his work.
"I usually just describe it as kind of a twist on traditional imagery kind of through my own filter," Karr says with a laugh. "I just try to draw what I think is right... which is generally wrong. And I just try to sell that."
A year ago Karr started a private studio called Escapist Tattoo, a one man endeavor in Greenpoint. He has a space for guest artists, and tries to have about one a month. The studio is a beautiful culmination of a career spent at various shops in the city and countless guest spots all over the map. Here, the artist has created a space that places no barriers between himself and his artistic vision.
Karr reflects thoughtfully about the development of his style, "I think took a lot of influences from things outside of tattooing, and then by looking at things that were based in tattooing and based in fine art or illustration and then combining them I think I've been kind of able to apply different things and just make things work that have not necessarily been tried before. I definitely fail a lot, but I definitely try to push that envelope a little bit, try to bring new new style and imagery to something that has a long history of staying pretty much the same."
When asked who out there has a style that is all their own in the way that his is, Karr ponders hard for a moment before answering. "I like Noah Moore in Kansas City," he says. "I'm really into Ron Wells' stuff in Providence. And I'm a big fan of this guy Acetates from Spain, I love his work. And Dan Sinnes from Luxembourg. It's all people who have their feet rooted in the history of tattooing, but are pushing their own style, but it's pays close homage, it's recognizable, it's an homage to things that have happened in the past."
While Karr definitely possesses a deep understanding of his craft's past and its current state, I have a feeling that maybe he possesses a slight glint of knowledge of the future of tattooing, a world in which homage is paid to him and the style he has created. Or perhaps in some distant future, where the world is a dystopian, nuked-out wasteland, some of the creatures from Myles' work roam the earth, psychically projecting their forms back in time to his subconscious.

Depends on location (downtown Chicago, North/Northwest Chicago) & online video, teletherapy sessions
I am Owner of Concentric Counseling & Consulting, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) & National Certified Counselor (NCC) with 20 years in the mental health industry providing counseling and therapy to individual adults, young adults, and couples who are experiencing barriers to personal, relational growth and fulfillment.
I want to first share why I chose the 'Concentric' name and how it applies to my work with couples. Concentric circles all share the same center. As individuals we stand in the innermost circle of a concentric circle, yet, we do not exist completely in isolation. Throughout our life, we co-exist in other relationships represented by the outer concentric circles. Some of the most significant relationships in our lives include our partner, spouse, family of origin and family of choice.
Viewing ourselves and learning how to better understand ourselves as individuals and as a couple through the lens of concentric circles can be useful. I recognize at the center or core, people share similar feelings and experiences. We can all relate to feeling down, anxious, stuck, frustrated, or lonely. We all want to be connected, understood, and loved. My role is to help you as a couple to be connected, understood, and loved. My training in The Gottman Method will help with these hopes.
I understand it takes time to trust and open up. I am patient and non-judgmental in our relationship along the course of our work together.
I am relational and use a warm, strengths-based & challenging approach.
My Top 3 Specialities: 1) Relationship Issues, General & More Complex Romantic and Intimacy Difficulties (e.g. Addiction, Affairs) 2) Anxiety Disorders, Life Stressors, Work & Life Balance 3) Varying Degrees of Trauma and Family-of-Origin Issues.
As a therapist, both my rich and varied life experiences bring great value in my approach. I genuinely want you and your loved ones to feel better. April 2018, I will take Level 3 training.

Florida has been a suffering from a drug epidemic for years. Some of the most popular drugs of abuse are opiates. Many Florida residents may think of prescription painkillers as the most common form. However, heroin abuse has become all too common. Those who start off with an addiction to prescription painkillers often transition to heroin for one reason or another. When a person is hooked on prescription painkillers or heroin, the body becomes extremely dependent. A methadone detox at an inpatient addiction treatment center in Florida is often necessary for the person to recover. So, what is methadone detox?
What is Methadone and How Does Addiction Progress
A variety of risk factors come into play when it comes to addiction. Most of the people who become addicted to any type of drug or alcohol are genetically predisposed to the disease. There's an abnormality in their prefrontal cortex that can be passed along genetically. This part of the brain is what controls a person's impulses, and it also gives them a variety of other logical decision-making abilities. Some people never experience addiction issues with drugs or alcohol. When they're prescribed prescription painkillers, their addiction is awakened.
Maintaining a prescription drug addiction in Florida can become an extremely expensive habit. Doctors and pharmacies may realize what the addict is doing and monitor their refills closely, which means the person must obtain the drug from illicit sources. Medications like OxyContin can cost as much as $80 to $100, and the costs can become unmanageable when the person has to take two or three a day in order to feel well. For the same price they pay for a day's worth of prescription opiates, they can obtain enough heroin to last for up to a week.
The Benefits of Methadone Detox at an Inpatient Addiction Treatment Center in Florida
Inpatient addiction treatment centers often recommend a methadone detox program for patients with a severe heroin or prescription opiate addiction. Methadone detox involves using a non-narcotic medication called methadone, which is a replacement drug for opiates. The inpatient addiction treatment center gives this to the patient because it tricks the brain and minimizes the symptoms of withdrawal. Methadone detox is different from a Suboxone detox because it offers a more gradual withdrawal over a slightly longer time period.
If you're struggling with an opiate addiction, receiving detox at an inpatient addiction treatment center is the best way to begin a life of sobriety. Once your body and mind begin to heal, you'll go through rehabilitation, which is specifically designed to help you learn how to overcome your addiction to heroin or prescription opiates.
You don't have to struggle alone with addiction any longer. If you're asking what is methadone, call Serenity House Detox today at 866-396-4129. Speak to one of our admissions counselors. They have information and help available. Don't wait any longer – with our help, you can start living the life you deserve. Help is closer than you think.

This March, 23andMe, a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing company, received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to test for predispositions to breast and ovarian cancer.
While this latest approved test is quite limited, because it only tests for three changes out of the thousands possible in the BRCA1/2 genes, it highlights the growing ability of individuals, and potentially insurers, to gather information about future risk for disease.
Consumers, by and large, perceive increased access to such testing as positive, but insurance experts have predicted that it could send the industry into a death spiral.
Essentially, the argument is that unless insurers have equal access to the results, consumers with a known predisposition to a costly disease would buy excessive amounts of insurance without insurers having the ability to accurately underwrite the coverage.
Consumers, on the other hand, fear that insurers will decline coverage or increase rates in anticipation of a diagnosis, even when only predisposition is indicated and not the actual disease.
(Related: Busy Health Insurance Legal Sector Could Get Busier)
With all of this information in hand, consumers and insurers must work together to establish some guidelines for regulating insurer use of genetic information. Ideally, these guidelines could strike a balance that would give consumers some assurance that insurer access to genetic information would not lead to discrimination, and, at the same time, ensure that insurers have the information needed to effectively underwrite coverage.
The Stakes
Before diving into this debate, one might ask: "Should we even care about insurer use of genetic information?"
For almost a decade now, health insurers have been prohibited, under the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA), from collecting genetic information or using that information when underwriting coverage. However, GINA does not apply to long-term care insurance (LTCI) or life insurance products. While fewer Americans have LTCI or life insurance than health insurance, the number of Americans who own such policies is still significant. For instance, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) reports that about 7.2 million Americans own LTC policies. LIMRA)reports that 44% of U.S. households own individual life insurance policies. Thus, insurer use of genetic information has the potential to impact millions of Americans.
Given that insurer use of genetic information might have a far-reaching impact, the next question is: "How should insurer use of genetic information be regulated?"
The Extremes
One option insurers might favor is maintaining the status quo. Currently, at the federal level, LTCI and life insurance companies are allowed to internally set the guidelines for use of customers' genetic information. Standard practice is that customers are not asked for genetic information, likely because the vast majority of genetic information is not useful when it comes to underwriting coverage.
As medicine and technology advance, however, so will the predictive value of such information, and, therein lies the problem. Insurers may soon be hard pressed not to use any and all genetic information that might provide a leg up on the competition as it relates to underwriting coverage. While this may not seem problematic in purely economic terms, indiscriminate use of such information may increase consumer distrust and prevent some consumers from undergoing valuable genetic testing. Thus, maintaining the status quo is not a viable option.
The option consumers seem to favor is to simply ban insurers from using genetic information, much like is done with race, and, in some contexts, gender. Consumers favor this option for a couple of reasons. First, genetic testing can potentially reveal deeply personal information about an individual's health, such as a genetic predisposition to an incurable disease, and consumers are, understandably, hesitant to share that information with others. Second, history is rife with examples of misuse of genetic information (e.g., forced sterilization of the mentally deficient in the 1960s), and individuals are, understandably, fearful that genetic information may be used to discriminate against specific individuals or groups again in a similar manner.
A number of European countries have already prohibited insurer use of genetic information, including France, Sweden, and Austria. While restricting insurer use of genetic information may alleviate consumers' concerns regarding privacy and discrimination, it also raises new concerns. Without access, at a minimum, to genetic information that affects the accuracy of underwriting, insurers may be forced to raise premiums to cover the "known unknown," which would harm a far larger portion of the population than granting blanket access. Thus, insurers and consumers must find a middle ground — one that balances insurers' need for relevant genetic information with consumers' concerns regarding privacy and discrimination.
The Middle Ground
The United Kingdom provides a model for a possible middle ground for regulating insurer use of genetic information. Under the U.K. model, insurers are allowed access to genetic information, but can only use the information when it will actually help underwrite customers' coverage. How is this different from the current status quo? Enter an independent review of the predictive value of genetic information.
For example, since 2001, insurers and the British government have agreed to prohibit the use of genetic information for all insurance policies under a specified amount (e.g., £500,000 for life insurance). However, for policies above that specified amount, insurers are allowed to use genetic test results that have been approved by a governmental body called the Genetics and Insurance Committee. (To date, only results regarding Huntington's Disease have been approved for use, and only in life insurance applications).
Ultimately, the middle-ground model would provide insurers with the information needed to accurately underwrite customers' coverage and, at the same time, limit potential privacy violations and discrimination. While careful consideration will need to be given to the standards for determining whether to approve the use of genetic information, the U.K. model presents a strong path forward for building a trusting relationship between insurers and consumers.

Let's Get Healthy – Step 4
A 5th step to being healthy is to be aware of our elimination schedules. Our body is not designed to eliminate every 2-3 days, or once a week or twice a month. We are suppose to "go" within an hour or two after every meal. This means when we eat breakfast we should go within 1 to 2 hours after this meal. After lunch, we should be "going" 1 to 2 hours after this meal. After dinner, we should be "going" 1 to 2 hours after this meal. When we eat dinner at 6:00 pm, we should be "going" by 9:00 am the next morning. This elimination schedule is important. Each time we "go", the stool should be formed–about 12 inches long and about 1 to 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter. We would call these "healthy poops".
If we are eating 3 meals a day but only going to the bathroom once a day, this is when we start to get that build up on the walls of the colon. This is when we can become quite constipated. After a time, we feel gassy and bloated. We will start to have some digestive disorders.
Our colon is a very important organ. We would do ourselves a favor to keep it as healthy as possible. The healthy way is to eliminate properly every day and be on a healthy schedule.
Let's Get Healthy-Step 2

A second step to good health is the foods that are eaten. We Americans eat way too much food. Often, our food includes processed meat, fast food, and highly-processed food. We like our sweets. We skip meals because we are in a hurry. We forget to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. The food is high in fat, sugar and calories. This kind of food causes blockages in our arteries, heart, liver, lungs, brain and colon. Eating this way also causes inflammation and disease. Our bodies become "off balance. We start to feel sick. We begin to feel sluggish and tired, we get constipated, feel bloated and gassy.
The foods we should really eat are greens, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, herbs, organic juices and healthy meats. When we eat this way, we will be promoting our good health and have a disease-free body.

Suffering From Gas and Bloat?
The symptoms of gas and bloat usually occur after eating. One can eat a small meal or a large meal and get that gassy/bloated feeling. It is usually very uncomfortable and can be embarrassing as well. You may wonder how this problem comes about.
Often, we do not combine our foods correctly. That is, we put a starchy food and a protein food together at a meal. Let's say you are having breakfast and you decide to have eggs (protein) and toast (starch or carbohydrate). Putting this combination together causes gas. Maybe a dinner choice would be rice (starch) and beans (protein) which also causes gas. These are just two examples of putting protein and starches together at the same meal. Of course there are many other combinations that can cause the gas and bloat feeling as well. Learning what combinations work best for your digestion system can be a real education. We need to practice food combining with our meals to eliminate that gas and bloat feeling.
Another cause of gas would be drinking liquids with our meals. The gas comes because all the liquid we just drank with our meals is preventing the stomach acid and the digestive enzymes to break down the food properly. The large amounts of gas that occurs from drinking the liquid with our meal will cause bloating in our abdomen. Our abdomen is usually swollen at this point making us look like we have over-sized abdomens.
Sometimes, certain vegetables and fruits will give us gas. The individual needs to determine which vegetables or fruit might be causing the problem. A food diary is a good way to keep a record of what we have eaten and how our body has reacted to the foods. Becoming aware of the foods we eat that are causing the gas and bloat is the first step in understanding our digestive problem.
Call me with questions about gas and bloat or to set up a colonic appointment to get rid of this problem. 616-456-5033
