Today I punched in the address of another church into my GPS unit, SeanSean, this time on the far side of Baltimore. Down 95, the roadside looks like a forest exploding. Then heading further toward the harbor, the forest is gone, replaced by concrete, bricks and asphalt, the concrete crumbling and the metal girders on the overpasses bubbled and wasting from moisture. The humid summers and the wet, frigid winters are rough on much of the materials of building. The bricks and rock hold up well, but the other materials of modern life buckle, crack, rust and crumble, so that the area I'm driving through looks run-down and neglected. On my GPS unit, the roads in that area are a tangle that I cannot make sense of, this highway, that exit, the beltway, the tunnel roads, a glance at the screen and it appears that I'm driving on a single strand of a cable, whose wires twist and turn and head off in all directions.
Hurtling down the road at 62 miles an hour (the speed limit is 55), traffic passes me in all lanes, the grills of big ominous looking cars bearing down in my rear view mirror before suddenly veering off to go around me. Through the long Harbor Tunnel, whose entrance always takes me by surprise as I expect to see the harbor before entry, and then back into sunlight again. The huge cranes are off to my right, indicating the docks where huge ocean-going ships unload their cargo. I can't see the docks, or the ships that should be docked there, but there is in me a longing for all of that. The industry of it all is appealing, and in a strangely working-class way is romantic. Perhaps it is the size of it all. The shipping containers are huge, the cranes are enormous, the ships are giant, and yet are dwarfed by the sea.
This is an industrial area, but I am through it in a flash, and the flat ground seems even flatter. Green and brown flashes of water, rivers of one name or another, with no visible shore, then a wide reed swamp stretching on both sides of the motorway, and before long SeanSean indicates that it is time to leave and a turn here, a turn there and SeanSean tells me I have reached my destination and it is time to "Sing for Scotland." I look around trying to find a building that might house the church. I am stumped, but decide to drive around to the back of some of the small buildings. A small sign indicates that I have arrived.
It is a lovely old building, with beautiful wide-plank wood floors and nice moldings. Although it's age shows, it has been maintained well, so it is aging gracefully. The church meets in a small room, that perhaps seats 60 or 70 people at best. Pretty white folding chairs and lovely window treatments that are reminiscent of Ralph Lauren Home.
Upon walking in I am immediately greeted. I turn and Sean is there. He seems like a very nice man, but I can't reconcile my memory of the gawky, nerdy teenager with this nice, confident grown man. I would never have recognized him at all.
I don't think there is more than one or two people in the entire church who do not introduce themselves to me in the course of the morning. There are a few incongruities. On the table in the entry is a computer system where people log in their attendance as they arrive, and there is a nice sound system, and a table of sound equipment, though the church seems to have only about 30 people in attendance.
The pastor is, apparently, a counselor of some kind for his primary profession, as his sermon is laced with statements about counseling people and references to his practice. He is also evangelical about home-schooling and his sermon on Ephesians 6, "children obey your parents in the Lord", "honor your parents" and "Father's do not exasperate your children" is filled with exhortations to home school, for mothers to be stay-at-home moms, and for the Fathers to be in command at home. He speaks of honoring parents as "extolling their virtues" as well as caring for them financially.
All in all it is a strange and difficult place. Everyone is so friendly, something my heart has longed for, but then the sermon is so rigid and goes over the line as far as scripture goes. Scripture doesn't teach home schooling. It doesn't even command women not to work. But this is not the first pastor to speak as if it does.
Bill Gothard makes these kind of sweeping statements and thus goes from someone to whom I could listen to someone I completely tune out. We have to be very clear when teaching or preaching that we don't make our ideas out to be "thus saith the Lord" kind of statements. I may think it is a good idea to wash the dishes after each meal, but it isn't a "Thus saith the Lord" command, so I shouldn't make it one.
Bringing up a child in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord" does not proscribe home schooling or private schooling. I'm not sure I understand where honoring your parents becomes "extolling their virtues".
But maybe he was talking about his preferences, rather than a scriptural mandate, and I just missed it.
Sean's wife, Jan, rode with me to help me find the Quiznos where we all had lunch. She's a very nice friendly, talkative woman who I like immediately. Sean has four very nice, well-behaved kids who seem to get along. The oldest is heading off to college in a couple of weeks, and the family is both proud and sad. Jan knows another old friend of mine from her college days, so that is another connection.
I'm invited back next week, and I'm torn. The good points: everyone was very friendly, and I enjoyed spending time with Sean and his family. They did preach from scripture, apparently going chapter by chapter, not topically as seems to be the standard for a lot of churches today. The bad points: it's a long drive, and the rabid home-schooling thing. I've got nothing against home-schooling, but it is A way to raise and teach your children, not THE way. I wonder if that is a common theme.
Absolutely overcome by heat while taking the dog out. Is it the heat and humidity or is it hot flashes? I feel and look ill as I wrap an ice filled towel around my neck, trying to get comfortable. Seems to take forever to cool down. Even the dog seems affected. She can't stop panting until given a cold bath.
The damp has my joints aching like crazy. I am forced to take massive doses of ibuprofen to keep moving, which has my stomach on fire. I wonder what the solution is. Lord, please heal me or get me somewhere with a drier climate.

The U.S. has created more than 16 million new jobs since 2010 to push the unemployment rate down to a 16-year low, but the strongest labor market in years still hasn't translated into much bigger paychecks for Americans workers.
The government on Friday said hourly pay rose at a 2.5% pace in the 12-month period ending in May, unchanged from the prior month and down from a postrecession peak of 2.9% at the end of 2016.
Read:U.S. unemployment rate falls to 16-year low of 4.3%
By now, many economists had figured wages would be growing at 3% or more a year. After all, wages typically grow an annualized 3% to 4% when the economy is strong and the unemployment rate is as low as it is now at 4.3%.
Economists offer several theories for the apparent break from past wage trends.
One argument that's become more popular lately points to low productivity — a measure of how many goods or services an employee provides in an hour of work.
When workers produce more in the same amount of time, they enable a company to make higher profits and in turn allow them to raise wages. Yet productivity has been notably weak during the current eight-year expansion.
"Although average hourly earnings are rising only about 2.5% per year, slower than before the crisis, much of that downshift may reflect the slowdown in productivity growth we have experienced," said Federal Reserve Gov. Jerome Powell in a speech on Thursday.
Read: Retail carnage continues as sector's job growth falls for fourth straight month
Taking it a step further, chief economist Stephen Stanley of Amherst Pierpont Securities argues that pay is actually rising relatively rapidly if low productivity is taken into account.
"In a world of 1/2% per year productivity growth," he wrote in a note to clients on Friday, "2 1/2% average hourly earnings growth is not nearly as bad as it sounds."
Some economists also point to rising costs of benefits such as health care as a brake on take-home pay. If companies have to pay more to insure their employees, they'll offset the cost by raising wages more slowly.
Read: Trump adviser Cohn says not to 'obsess' over any one number in jobs report
More global competition than ever is another well-worn argument. Companies may be too afraid to take on added labor costs for fear of losing out to domestic and foreign rivals who pay workers less.
Another possibility: Many U.S. workers, especially those still looking for jobs, lack the necessary skills to warrant higher pay. As a result companies have to pay more to train new or future employees who won't be as productive when the first start out.
With unemployment so low, though, and a growing dearth of skill workers available for hire, companies face greater pressure to raise wages to attract or retain employees. A recent survey by the Federal Reserve found widespread labor shortages.
In one case, a Chicago manufacturer found that it could attract good job candidates and hold on to to talented employees by boosting wages by 10%.
Such pay hikes, however, are still the exception and not the norm.
In other cases, companies are "using technology whenever possible to substitute for labor," the Fed said.
Some fast-food restaurants, for example, are resorting to automated order kiosks in part to offset costs from recent increases in minimum wages. Financial companies are also using more technology to serve investors and banking customers.
So far the approaches taken to constraining wage growth appear to be working. As the Fed pointed out, pay continues to rise modestly despite the tightest labor market in at least a decade.

I would like to have my voice heard on the issue of competitiveness in the real estate industry regarding way "discount / reduced fee" brokers are treated by the "traditional brokerages.
We have been agents for many years. We opened our small brokerage in 1987. In 1995 we were still a small brokerage trying to compete with larger local and regional companies. We could not compete with the amount of advertising dollars they had to spend promoting their companies and when we would go out on a presentation to a prospective Home Seller, we would stress our company's more than twenty years of outstanding service to many clients over the years. We found ourselves time and again competing for the business against brand new agents from large companies. At the time we believed that in order for us to survive in the industry we needed to charge the "standard" six percent commission. What soon became obvious was that the Sellers would choose the new and inexperienced agents with the larger companies over our small firm. When we would ask then why the explanation was always the same. "Since all agents do essentially the same thing, for the same price, we decided to go with the larger company". And who could blame them? From the consumer's point of view, other than the size of our respective companies there was no discernable difference.
After some serious soul searching we were clear that our industry, in spite of it's denials, was considered nothing more than a commodity and since the price was the same at our company as at the others, the Sellers would overlook our many years of training and experience to go to the larger company.
We then took a look at what we had to offer and decided that since our service was superior and it didn't seem to make a difference, the next step was to take a good look and see what would make our company more attractive to consumers. We discovered that we could provide the same high quality service for less money. This would give us more opportunity's to serve more clients and we would make up the difference in volume. We then converted our company to a full service, reduced fee entity and to this date we have been very effective. Our clients love the services we provide and the cost of those services. They get full value. The economy of scale has worked very well for us.
Now as to the competitiveness... We have been called "Whores" in seminar rooms with 300 + real estate agents in them. Our clients have been told that "No Realtor" would work with us because we reduce our fees. Our clients have also been told that no agent would even show their property if they listed it with us and we didn't offer a three percent commission to them for showing it. We have been vilified form the very beginning of our reduced fee system. In spite of that we have prospered.
In one instance, early on, I sent ad copy to one of the real estate advertising magazines offering our reduced fee services. The magazine called me and told me they would not run the ad. When I asked why the told me that if they ran our ad the other real estate companies that advertised with them would withdraw their own ads and the magazine would lose business. At that point I advised the magazine that they could either run the ad or talk to the Attorney General of the State of California regarding restraint of trade. The ad ran.
We survive in spite of all this.
Our services are excellent and we now have been in the real estate business for over thirty years.
We don't expect the traditional real estate companys to help us but we have not deserved the lashing we have been receiving since we converted either.
There has been an underlying and recurring theme espoused by traditional companies since the inception of reduced fee real estate agencys and it continues today.

In my last post I told you about a birthday party that didn't happen. Thankfully, the young man was right as rain in a few days and the party was rescheduled for the next weekend. Would you like to see his cake?
This skateboard cake was life sized and actually rolled. It would feed 35 - 40 people. Shall we get started and I'll show you how I made it? For starters, this cake is all about the board you put it on. When you really boil it down it's just a glorified sheet cake. So I'll start with the heart of the cake.
I attached the axle with two staples, using a staple gun. This keeps the axles in place but will let the skateboard roll on the table when it's finished. Depending on your staple, you might have to crimp the staple just a little to allow free motion of the axle.
The final step before the cake is to cover the surface of the board with contact paper.
Don't miss part 2! I'll show you the actual cake part!

This week we learned all about...
This was the first year I really dove into a unit on bats and boy did we have fun...and learn a lot!
There were several books I used this week- both fiction and informational- about bats!
Here are a few we used to learn about bats:
And a few others that we used for read alouds and/or as mentor texts for Readers and Writers Workshop:
(BTW I checked and all of the titles above can be found on Amazon if you, or your local library don't have them!)
As much as I would have LOVED for my kinders to try hanging upside down, I am not that adventurous, so I had them lay on the floor, wrap their 'wings' around themselves and I stood over their heads! We also practiced 'flying' like bats and..of course...tried out our screeching!
We charted what we learned on a huge bat 'can, have, are' chart:
The first time we wrote on it I used purple and then after reading a few more books and watching some videos we added what we learned with the orange marker. I did this to show them how authors can add to their pieces as part of our Writers Workshop lesson one day.
We also used interactive writing to label the parts of a bat:
What I LOVED was that my kinders were EAGER to add other parts to the bat that I did not originally have on it...
fingers and its thumb....
AND..my favorite...
REAL FUR! (aka pulled pieces of brown burlap that I had in my craft closet!)
I put it together in this collage so that you could pin it as 1 image to reference later on!
We used some fun songs and learning videos I found online this week too!
The first up is Bats, Bats, Bats! It is a fun song with great real photos of bats! The tune is catchy! My kinders loved it!
The next taught all about echolocation- which my kinders LOVED saying!
The last one is from PBS Kids. It is a bit long and better for grade 1 but has some interesting bat facts. My kinders started to lose interest after a bit..and just wanted 'the singing bat movies' back!
But that was not the end of our bat learning and fun!
Our 'Poem of the Week' was from DeeDee Wills' Poetry Pack- the October Poetry Stations- called 5 Little Bats:
Our sight word this week was 'the' so we found it with highlighting tape.
I also had a 'bat snatcher' each day who stood near the pocketchart as we read it and 'snatched' a bat each time we got to the line 'One flew out to find a snack...' until all the bats were gone.
I wanted a fun display for our bat fact chart and interactive writing but needed a little something more!
I came across this pin for a bat tracer:
but decided to add the kids faces to the bats rather than the googly eyes!
After they cut out the bat, I glued on their face and cut around the ears. I folded the wings and put a staple in the middle (see below).
Each child wrote a bat fact and I 'hung' their bat from their fact:
This bat fact was inspired by the 'Poem of the Week!'
So proud of her spacing and sound spelling!
They LOVED to write about the bats sucking blood!
And once all were hung we had a...
We learned that bats are not really blind...they just have a hard time seeing in the dark! But we talked about how hard it would be for a bat to see teeny tiny writing...what could a bat use??
So we tried out a new 'I Spy' type of activity using a bat theme:
We use 'Fundations' to teach letters, so we have covered t,b,f,n,m,i,u,c & o so far.
So I hit those letters (6pt font) in the bat picture and then put pictures of items that start with those letters on the bottom of the page. They had to...
and then...
I had them 'x' each letter as they found it on the bat so that they would know which ones were already used. They loved it!
Want to try it out with your kiddos?
Here it is for free:
Just right click on the image and copy it into a new document or save it as a picture and insert it into a new document!
Here is the bat fact paper I used too, if you want that:
Next week they will do a similar activity independently in Phonics Center, but our theme will be pumpkins, so I created this one for them to do and added the 2 new letters (a and g) that we will learn next week into the mix:
Feel free to use this one, as well!
There is so much more I would have loved to do with bats but we merely ran out of time! Next week we are onto pumpkins! I have a bunch of fun things planned...be sure to stop by again!
I will be blogging on The Primary Pack on Thursday 10/24- my first post! I'd love for you to swing on by- planning a 'dough' lot of fun and some freebies!
Until next post,

|Configuring Discovery Mechanisms / Using Locators
GemFire XD peers or servers must specify a list of locator addresses to connect to when they join the distributed system.
Use the -locators option when starting a GemFire XD server or peer to identify all locators that are used for member discovery in the distributed system. In the previous section, Start and Stop Locators, two locators were started using the -peer-discovery-address and -peer-discovery-port combinations of "locator1host:10101" and "locator2host:20202." In order to join the distributed system created by these locators, new GemFire XD servers must specify those peer connections at startup.
gfxd server start -locators=locator1host[10101],locator2host[20202] \ -client-bind-address=server1host -client-port=1529 -dir=server1
Specify the -client-bind-address and -client-port options to configure the connection that clients should use to connect to this GemFire XD member. Note that while you can specify either a hostname or an IP address with -client-bind-address, clients that connect to the distributed system using a locator will by default receive a hostname to use for connecting to the member. You must ensure that the hostname correctly maps to the IP address for each server (for example, in the /etc/hosts file). As an alternative, for systems that use only IP addresses you can use the prefer-netserver-ipaddress system property when starting a locator to provide server IP addresses to client connections.
gfxd server start -locators=locator1host[10101],locator2host[20202] \ -client-bind-address=server2host -client-port=1530 -dir=server2
As each server or peer joins the distributed system, running locators update their information with the new server's client connection information. Note that although each server defines a client bind address and port, individual clients should connect directly to one of the available locators rather than to an individual server. In this way, the locator can load balance client connections to available servers, and can manage the list of available servers as they leave and join the distributed system.

Grøn Koncert / Green Concert Tshirt Designs
Did these for a competition recently held for an annual danish (predominantly rock)-concert.
I was hugely inspired by the old "merrie melodies" cartoons from the 1930's and McBess' style.
The idea was to hit an image or design that could cater to a wide audience (ages 10-90 are actually attending the concerts).
Albeit it was the most fun to work on :).
Also because of the age span, i wasn't comfortable with showing beverages in an image and showing (even if it was trees) characters having a 'good' time.
Here's a few progress shots of the colored final design.

Note: This article has done its job, and will be retiring soon. To prevent "Page not found" woes, we're removing links we know about. If you've created links to this page, please remove them, and together we'll keep the web connected.
If you have access to Excel Services, which is a server running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 that is capable of running Excel Calculation Services, you can publish a workbook to that server so that other users can access all or parts of the data that it contains in a browser by using Microsoft Office Excel Web Access.
When you publish a workbook to Excel Services, the entire workbook is published on the server, but you can define the parts of the workbook (such as individual worksheets, named ranges, or charts) that you want Excel Services to display in Microsoft Office Excel Web Access. By displaying only specific parts of the workbook and by using Office SharePoint Server 2007 permissions to help protect the workbook from unauthorized access, you can keep data in the workbook confidential while enabling authorized users to refresh, recalculate, and interact with the viewable data.
You can also define parameters. Parameters are single cells that can have their values defined by Microsoft Office Excel Web Access users. You can use parameters to expose cells that can drive workbook calculation, such as a what-if analysis that is using the values that users enter in cells that are specified as parameters.
Important: The ability to publish an Excel workbook to Excel Services is available only in Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007, Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, and Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
Create a new workbook and enter the data that you want to provide, or open an existing workbook that you want to publish to Excel Services.
If you plan to define parameters, name the cells that you want to be editable.
Note: You can define parameters only if you have named single cells that contain values on the worksheet. You cannot define parameters for named ranges of more than one cell.
To name cells, do the following:
On the worksheet, select the cell that you want to make editable in the browser and Microsoft Office Excel Web Access.
On the Formulas tab, in the Defined Names group, click Define Name.
In the Name box, type the name that you want to use for the parameter.
Click OK.
Click Microsoft Office Button , click the arrow next to Publish, and then click Excel Services under Distribute the document to other people.
Note: If the Excel Services option is unavailable, your version of Office Excel 2007 does not support publishing a workbook to Excel Services. Find links to more information about sharing workbooks in the See Also section.
In the File name box, enter the path to the server and accept the suggested name for the workbook, or type a new name if needed.
If needed, locate the destination. On a computer that is running Windows Vista, locate or type the path to the server in the Address bar. On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP, locate the server in the Save in list, or type the path to the server before the file name. For example, type http://server/site/file name
Note: Excel can publish a workbook to the server only in the Microsoft Office Excel 2007 XML-based file format (.xlsx) or Office Excel 2007 Binary file format (.xlsb).
Click Excel Services Options.
On the Show tab, do the following:
To show the entire workbook in Excel Services, select Entire Workbook in the list box.
To show only specific worksheets in Excel Services, select Sheets in the list box, and then clear the check boxes for the sheets that you do not want to make visible.
Note: By default, all sheets are selected. To quickly make all sheets viewable again after you clear some of the check boxes, you can select the All Sheets check box.
To show only specific items (such as named ranges, charts, tables, or PivotTables) in Excel Services, select Items in the Workbook in the list box, and then select the check boxes of the items that you want to show.
Note: If you select items that have the same name, only one of these items will be available in Excel Services. To show all of the items in Excel Services, you must rename the items so that each item has a unique name. You can rename tables on the Design tab in the Properties group, rename PivotTables on the Options tab in the PivotTable group, and rename charts or PivotCharts on the Layout tab in the Properties group.

What is addiction?
Addiction is a disorder that causes the brain's reward circuits to malfunction. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), up to 60% of addiction sufferers inherit the disorder genetically, while the remaining 40% may have damaged their reward system by overusing it. Consequently, people with this disorder seek to reinforce their blunted reward feelings by seeking out substances or processes that will increase pleasurable feelings. Once this happens, there is an impact on chemical cascades to other parts of the brain affecting functions like judgement and impulse control. This is why people suffering from addiction cannot control their using. Addiction is a chronic condition (American Society of Addiction Medicine, 2011) which means that it lingers, and symptoms will return if proper addiction treatment is not received.

Recovery Zones
Our Intensive Outpatient Rehab Programme
The Cabin Dhaka's Outpatient Treatment Programme caters to client's individual needs based on our clinical assessment. We offer services in both English and Bengali. Clients are offered the opportunity to address behavioural and mood disorders in varying time commitments. Combined with the group treatment, clients will also attend individual sessions one to five times per week, based on their specific needs. Groups are 90 minutes in length and individual sessions are 50 minutes. Intensive treatment with a combination of group and individual work has been proven to help clients overcome many different behavioural and mood disorders.
Groups and individual sessions are designed to address:
Recovery Zones – Groups
Substance Dependency Process Group
Monday Evenings 5.00 – 6:30PM
This group is specifically for clients with a primary chemical addiction (alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and recreational drugs). Paired with the Substance Dependency Psycho-Educational Group, clients who are also attending individual counselling have the opportunity to share and learn from peers in various levels of their treatment. The group is facilitated by the counsellor, but clients are encouraged to suggest specific topics that are important and relevant to them. Discussion topics are compatible with individual treatment work as well as structured group educational materials.
Substance Dependency Psycho-Educational Group
Friday 5:00 – 6:30PM
This group demographic is specifically for clients recovering from substance addiction. Clients will navigate specific topics relevant to their treatment and recovery in a structured and supportive environment. Educational material is presented in a clear and applicable manner, to compliment and support materials being addressed in individual counselling. Topics are presented on a rotating schedule so that every client, regardless of where they are in their treatment process, will receive all relevant information and complete treatment with the tools necessary to maintain their sobriety. Recovery tools such as CBT techniques and materials found in the program book are demonstrated and applied in a group setting, making understanding more tangible.
Process Addiction Group
Tuesday Evenings 6:00 – 7:30PM
Clients with a primary process addiction (non-chemical – such as gambling, sex, relationships, internet, etc.) are offered an opportunity to suggest and participate in discussions relevant to their personal addiction and recovery. While paired with the Process Addiction Psycho-Educational Group, the format is less structured. Clients are able to relate to common issues with their peers such as navigating daily life and maintaining healthy boundaries and controls over addictive behaviours. The group session allows the sharing of common experience to gain empathy and understanding from their peers.
Family/Parental Psycho-Educational Group
Thursday 5.00 – 6.30PM
The Cabin Dhaka is now offering a Family Group as part of its treatment package. Mounting research-based evidence points to the importance of family in helping an individual achieve long-term recovery. Family members of those suffering from addiction are invited to attend this supportive and educational group, where they can learn about and participate in their loved one's recovery and also begin their own healing and recovery from addiction. Family and friends of those suffering from addiction frequently experience depression, anxiety and stress. Our Family Programme is designed to help equip family members to cope with these stressors, and maintain their resilience in the face of such difficulties. Additionally, as their loved ones get into active recovery, many new questions arise which this group can help address.The Cabin Dhaka's Family Group is open to those who have a family member willing to engage with our services, as well as those whose loved ones are not yet willing to engage in treatment.
Relaxation Group
Tuesday 5.00 – 6.30PM
This group, facilitated by one of our Clinical Psychologists, offers progressive Muscular Relaxation (PMR). This is an evidence based recovery tool thst eases anxiety and stress. This group is ideal for clients recovering from addiction but also for associated other mental heallth conditions. The group entails some body work (not physically intensive); breathing work, and guided meditation/ visualisation. The aim of this session is to encourage deep relaxation and provides a space that is safe, secure and soothing. It is highly recommended for any client attending any part of the program, mental health or for family members.
Process Addiction Psycho-Educational Group
Friday 6:00 – 7:30PM
This group demographic is specifically for clients recovering from process addictions. Educational material is presented in a clear and applicable manner, to compliment and support materials being addressed in individual counselling. Unlike chemical addiction, some behaviours related to process addiction may need not be completely eliminated, but rather clients are required to identify when behaviours have become addictive. Topics are presented on a rotating schedule so that every client, regardless of where they are in their treatment process, will receive all relevant information so that they complete treatment with the tools necessary to maintain their sobriety. Recovery tools such as CBT techniques and materials found in the program book are demonstrated and applied in a group setting, making understanding more tangible. Clients will learn how to establish boundaries and parameters that will restore them to functional and healthy lifestyle and arrest the addictive behaviour that is causing harm.
Relapse Prevention Continuing Care
Wednesday 6:00 – 7:30PM
This group caters to clients who have entered later stages of recovery. They have completed residential and/or intensive out-patient treatment and are offered the opportunity to continue their work in the Relapse Prevention Group. This group facilitates an environment for clients to review and share recovery experiences, aftercare plans, sobriety goals and how they are navigating early recovery outside of structured recovery environments. Some groups may involve specific and helpful education pieces while others will be more open for client issues and suggestions for discussions. The groups are facilitated by a counsellor but clients are encouraged to take an active role and bring to the group issues relevant to them.
Our Schedule
Our offices are open from 10am to 8pm for all enquires and for scheduling appointments. General addiction counselling and other psychological services place between 1pm and 9pm, Monday to Friday.
Please see the schedule below for more details.

Battle of the Coral Sea. While a tactical victory for the Japanese (having sunk US carrier USS Lexington and damaged carrier USS Yorktown for the loss of light carrier Shōhō), it is also a strategic success for the US. Japanese fleet carrier Shōkaku sets sail for Japan to repair serious bomb damage and the other fleet carrier Zuikaku is also forced to return to Japan as she has too few operational aircraft to be battleworthy. The absence of these carriers will cost Japan dearly in the battle at Midway that they are currently planning.
50 miles North Anna Regina, British Guiana, U-162 sinks Canadian SS Mont Louis (13 dead, 8 survivors picked up by Canadian sailing ship Mona Marie). 50 miles West of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean, U-125 sinks Canadian tanker MV Calgarolite (all 45 hands escape in lifeboats and reach Cuba or Mexico in 3 to 4 days). 3 miles off Hillsboro Inlet, Florida, U-564 torpedoes Panamanian tanker MV Lubrafol, carrying 67,000 barrels of heating oil, which burst into flames and burns for 2 days before sinking (13 killed, 31 survivors). 30 miles Southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina, U-352 attacks US Coast Guard cutter USCGC Icarus but misses with 2 torpedoes. USCGC Icarus counterattacks with depth charges forcing U-352 to the surface. The crew abandons ship and scuttles U-352 (15 killed, 33 survivors).
Operation_Bowery. US aircraft carrier USS Wasp flies off 47 Spitfires to Malta while British carrier HMS Eagle launches 17 Spitfires (61 arrive at Malta).

The International Monetary Fund has said that the floods earlier this year affected Serbia's prospects badly and the economy is expected to contract in 2014. The Fund said it has agreed for a 36-month economic aid program totalling €1bn for Serbia.
"The economic conditions (of Serbia) remain challenging. GDP is expected to contract in 2014, partly due to the floods in May 2014, weakening domestic demand, and troubled corporate balance sheets," the IMF statement on 20 November stated.
Inflation in Serbia has been below the Serbian central bank's tolerance band since end-2013 while the unemployment rate, at over 17% poses a major social concern, the IMF noted.
Serbia's general fiscal deficit is projected to increase to about 8% of GDP in 2014, and public debt to rise to 68% of GDP by the end of the year, according to IMF. "Without comprehensive policy changes, public debt would continue to rise to unsustainable levels, undermining macroeconomic stability and growth potential," the fund said.
Aid Program
The fund said Serbia has agreed for an economic program that could be supported by a 36-month precautionary Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) with the IMF. "Proposed access could total SDR 935.4mn (around €1bn, £799m), or 200% of quota."
The new economic program seeks sustainable growth and job creation over the medium term by implementing strong fiscal consolidation and structural reforms, IMF said.
"In particular, fiscal adjustment aims to halt the rise in public debt and put it on a downward trajectory by 2017. The accompanying structural reform measures should help create a virtuous cycle of boosting market confidence, private sector investment, and growth."
IMF said that Serbia, under the new economic program will focus on containing expenditures by scaling down the large public sector wage and pension bills, and reducing budget support to public enterprises.
At the same time, the existing social safety net will be maintained, to ensure proper protection of the vulnerable groups, the fund said.
Serbia also has to strengthen tax administration, improve public financial management, enhance the control of public expenditures, and contain fiscal risks, IMF added.
"Restructuring of large public enterprises — including electricity, gas, railways, and road companies — will help reduce the drain on the budget, while ensuring adequate provision of services."
Banking and Monetary Policies
Serbia's monetary and exchange rate policies will continue to be anchored by the inflation targeting framework. The banking sector appears stable with adequate capitalisation and liquidity but bad loans need to be reduced, the IMF said.
"Fiscal adjustment is expected to create room for gradual rebalancing of the policy mix towards monetary easing, provided that external financing conditions stabilise. This should help reduce real lending interest rates and support private sector-led growth," the IMF noted.
"The banking sector appears broadly stable with generally adequate capitalisation and ample liquidity. Nevertheless, the authorities are committed to implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce the level of NPLs, improve corporate debt workout mechanisms, and increase the credit worthiness of the private sector.
"Furthermore, authorities will continue strengthening bank supervision and resolution frameworks to ensure financial system stability."

Instagram's Mari Andrew on living her happiest life

DES MOINES — President Obama got another chance to endear himself to apparently former critic GOP Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.
Flying on Air Force One after campaigning in the Midwest on Monday, Obama wrapped up a conversation about super storm Sandy recovery efforts by telling Christie he had someone who wanted to speak to him.
"Governor, this is Bruce," said the voice on the line. As in Bruce Springsteen.
Christie is a die-hard fan, but the love has largely not been returned by the tried-and-true liberal Springsteen. But the Jersey boys, like Obama and Christie, have found common cause this week as the state tries to rebuild after the devastating storm.
Christie quickly mentioned the call from Springsteen at a news conference Monday. White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed the account.
Springsteen and his wife, Patti Scialfa, were both on the president's plane, flying to a campaign event in Ohio as part of a three-state, get-out-the-vote blitz. The president and the Boss sat across from each other at a conference table, Carney said. The two talked about storm recovery efforts.
It was Springsteen's first trip on Air Force One, he told reporters later, and "it was pretty cool."

We are more a problem than the solution: Azad
Even as fear loomed large, the government on Thursday said no outbreak of disease has been reported from the flood-affected areas.india Updated: Jun 28, 2013 01:17 IST
Even as fear loomed large, the government on Thursday said no outbreak of disease has been reported from the flood-affected areas.
"So far, no water, food, air-borne or direct contact diseases have been reported from the affected areas," health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said at a press conference in New Delhi.
The central government, Azad said, has decided to release additional funds to rebuild hospitals and medical colleges that were destroyed in the state due to floods. "We have assured the state government that the amount will be above the funds allocated under National Rural Health Mission," said Azad. He, however, did not specify the amount.
The Union health ministry, Azad said, has rushed its top doctors and officials to tackle any eventuality. "Our high-level team comprising experts from the National Centre for Disease Control, Emergency Medical Response and National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, among others, is at Uttarakhand. "Their job is to detect and control disease outbreak. There have been a few cases but nothing worrisome so far," he added.
Asked if he would visit the state anytime, Azad said, "ministers become a burden on them. We are more of a problem than the solution. They don't need people from the administration, they need healthcare workers."
The teams of doctors are stationed at Gauchar, Joshimath and Rudraprayag. Ten trucks containing life-saving medicines and family packs with utensils, tents, mosquito nets, etc, have been sent to the state that will help a family sustain for at least 15 days.
On the request of the Uttarakhand government, a pool of 40 medical officers has been constituted and kept on standby for emergency.

Exchange 2003 administrators have explicit denied access to user's mailbox, except their own. This was not the case before. Let's think a scenario for some reason you need to have full mailbox access to all users mailbox. (You don't have to tell me, why) how can this be achieved. Below I will illustrate how an Exchange administrator may achieve this goal. You can permit yourself to see everyone mail box on the entire company easily. Below register hack is for a user profile, so you are just making changes on the account you have logged in.
- Copy and paste the code into notepad
- Click file Save
- Name the file ShowSecurityPage.reg
- Click on save as type, change it to all files
- Save it on your desktop as ESMShowSecurity.Reg, and double click on it to make the changes
- Click OK two times
- Open ESM now you will see security tab.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Now go to ADUC create an account, to be used to look at all users mailbox. Let's say we will create account called "MailMaster" Now we will go back on top of ESM and add this account there and give full permissions, which will inherit all the way down to your entire mail organization. Great now we have an special account which has full permissions on all mail enabled object, including send as receive as
Go to your OWA now and log on with your user ID and password, such as Https://Mail.Smtp25.org/Exchange, OWA will ask you your user name and password before you see your own mailbox. Go ahead supply your credentials and login.
After you log in all you need to do is add at the end of your Browser the user ID of the user's mailbox you wish to visit. Let's say you want to see, Brad's mail and his NT Id is Brads, After last slash in the address bar with browser add simply brads ID, OWA will ask you( Now you are telling OWA open Brad mailbox )
Who you are, and you will be "MailMaster", which has FULL permission on any mail enabled object, type the password for this account, OWA will gracefully open up and show you Brad's mailbox, while Brad is logged in on to his mailbox you will be a shadow looking at all his E-mails and he will have no idea, what is going on
Be careful privacy is serious issue and do not misuse your knowledge

The Go! Team
I listened to the album yesterday for the first time in about three years. Strangely enough, I found it was probably the only music I knew of that fitted the harsh criteria of the current phase I'm going through: listening to pretty much nothing recorded after 1968, but lots before.
Does anyone else find its absolutely just like obscure Northern Soul tracks from the mid to late 60's? Apart from the little sections of rapping and horrible scratching, and the obvious production differences, it could be classed completely as Northern Soul.
Are they recording again?
i think they have been for a while
not sure when anything's coming out though.
have you heard Soul Time by Shirley Ellis? it's the tune Bottle Rocket is based on. absolutely brilliant northern soul tune. i could try and send it to you if you like.
S34 346 456 h0gh
I'm excited. Please send it!
No need!
I've just found it on Soulseek. Thanks anyway.
no problem
i love it, hope it's worth it.
i don't know enough about Northern Soul to comment
but the Go! Team are so wonderfully perfectly euphoric!
I really want to see them live now.
Anyone know how they are?
i've heard mixed reports
they generally go: totally inept but astoundingly fun
Saw them a couple of years ago
and i'd agree with massacre; cept they've had a couple more years experience now, so maybe they're good at it. But fun, yes, very good fun. Make you wiggle your arse, at least.
Was that the same gig
that The Pipettes and DJ Scotch Egg played? If so, I was at that and really enjoyed the Go Team.
They ought to get their collective arses into gear and get some new stuff out though!
saw them at
the roadhouse at one of those free Xfm shows. they were ace. just a massive bundle of energy.
they've got like a frontperson/singer/cheerleader who's a real focal point 'getting the crowd going' and a full live band.
which is good seeing as how on record it's actually just one bloke with a computer it'd be complete shit if it was just him live.
really good
ninja is really into it, and they change instruments. It's just really fun :)
Word to your mother
They're in the process of recording their second album now, and I think it's due later in the year. I don't think it's going to be as summery as the first, as I *think* Ian's fandom of Sonic Youth et al will have more of a bearing on it
They've got much, much better live over time. People need to remember that they were never meant to be a band, as it was all just recorded by one bloke and a load of samples. All of a sudden people loved it and they had to tour, so he had to get a band together
You should see them, for the effort poured into the performance if nothing else. They're at Bestival this year. Booyah
They were really good
when I saw them on the last tour roughly a year ago - just loose enough but not so much that it didn't get everyone moving, apart from the girl who collapsed right behind me two songs in and forced the venue to put the aircon on.
I know Parton was still sourcing samples in December (he contacted a site I'm involved with for help finding one, and yes we could), although they were supposed to have an EP out last autumn.
They are a terrible band!
The Avalanches did it so much better and no one talks about them, depressingly.
I saw the Go-Team at Reading a couple of years ago. They were awful. The only reason i was watching them was because i knew someone in the band who quit about 12 months ago. They said they are just a bunch of Mercenary musos that dont hang out together and the vocalist (Ninja) is a thug.
I read an interview with the ringleader in the Guardian last year and he admitted that he was using the band as a springboard to becoming a film director - cynical motherfucker!
It sucks, thats whats wrong with it!
I believe being a musician, filmaker, writer whatever are vocations, not career choices. That Guardian interview proved that the guy behind the Go-Team doesnt really care about music and sees his band as nothing more than a meal ticket.
I was not having a go at him for craving success, only the way he is going about it. Great artists stay focused on the thing they are good at, not spread themselves paper-thin by 'Multi-Tasking'. You cant be good at everything!
i talk about the avalanches
I like The Go! Team although live they don't live up to the record at all.
are they not back out on the road?
as I arrived at the rehearsal studio my band uses t'other week, they were loading all their gear into a big tour bus.
they're playing ATP
and a few dates around it..
just a few dates?
it was a fucking big bus. lucky fuckers.
i have the first album
liked it at first, but doubt i'll ever listen to it again now. maybe once for posterity.
basically, the more rubbish aspects of the music become a lot clearer the more you listen to it.. the arrhythmic, one-note drumming, the BAD production, and of course some of the painful lyrics. Structurally it's good in places, but i just can't look past this other shit
New Single on July 2nd
With new album out on September 10th according to Planet Sound today. Hooray!
^ This post is THE GOOD NEWS POST
I love the Go Team!
I did actually listen to the first album again recently
For the first time in ages. And was struck by how good it sounded.

Video: Shaun King shares a better strategy than merely accumulating
social media followers.
Social media managers are squandering their most important asset: their existing audience.
But Shaun King has another option: Make them more valuable through deeper connections.
His talk at Y'all Connect Presented by Alabama Power showed how he carefully manages his hundreds of thousands of social media followers on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and more. And he demonstrates that the size of the audience is less important than the quality of engagement.
It's a personal approach to a professional brand.
His hourlong talk will open your eyes and show you how to pay better attention to the followers you already have.
You can purchase the hourlong video of his full seminar for just $19.

Why did they plant him in America?
The petals around the marker was a nice touch.
Why did they plant him in America?
The petals around the marker was a nice touch.
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!
Carping the living shit out of the Diem. - Me!!
I can't believe it's been 10 years
Yeah def a Shining Star different girl
And more so for the pics of Michael.
I dunno, in some of them he does look so troubled and yet the last one, he is right back to how I remembered him - very strange and sad.
Shed a few tears yesterday, but had a lot of happy moments too looking over different things, photo's and reading the forums, boards etc.
Take care
All coming out of the woodwork now
Isn't Tiger Lily just a little stunner though - I wish her well in her life
Gosh, now I'm wondering if it was a sex act that went terribly wrong. I was leaning on the suicide angle, but if Rhett thinks it was the auto-erotica and believes his parents went with suicide because they didn't want it to be sex related...then maybe it is? I'm curious to see if he will go ahead with this, to get the verdict overturned? I'm very curious about this woman too... I wish she'd come forward. wow. wow. wow.
Thank you for sharing this article. If you come across any more, please share those as well. Tiger's a beauty! I liked that Rhett agreed she should be with her sister's and I also found it interesting that he's had contact with Tiger all these years and the Mom says she hasn't been able to get ahold of her. Seems Mama Glassop might be leaning toward the dramatic side?
Mmm just as we all thought! No suprises there really, wonder how much Rhett was paid for that story!
Last rehearsal the day before he died
Seemed so upbeat and happy - so sad to think a few hours later he would be gone. Maybe it was just a tragic accident - does not make it any less painful though that he should die so young.
Thanks for the video. I saw that a few days ago and posted it on my myspace.He seems to be having a good time.
Michael Hutchence Birthday would be tomorrow,Tuesday! I read in the paper that there is a memorial in Vaucluse at moon bay or beach where the rest of his ashes are scattered, I know someone was asking where and how many places he was scattered in! So one place is Vaucluse which is a gorgous part of the world!
he said that...it was in that book...and i agree with that saying......i love it! easier to od though..hehhe..
Right after his death there were rumors floating around about him being murdered & how he was found was a "cover-up." I can't remember the details although I do remember Geldoff was said to have a part in it. Anyone else hear that?
There is no universal solution because there is no universal problem.
I'm with the auto-erotic bunch, I think those kinds of deaths are much more common than most people realize.
I saw INXS a few times, and they were by far the BEST live musical act I've ever seen or will see in my life. I strongly feel Michael's death was strictly suicide.
When INXS did the "Rock Star" show to get a new lead singer, I was appalled. How much more money do those guys need? They had better be paying royalties to Tiger!
I liked INXS its sad that Michael Hutchence daughter will never know her parents,why does that Geldof guy have Tiger Lilly,why doesn't Michael or even Paula's family have her?
She became extremely slender because food was no longer of interest. She just ate because she had to. It made her very unhappy.
Michael Hutchence's sister secretly sells memorabilia on eBay
Any INXS fans here?
you betcha!!
Hells yeah......... I loved Michael.........still do, always will
And for what its worth I think it was accidently rip Michael you are much missed .
The other thing I have noticed most speculation on his death has come from the media - and they quite frankly can print what they want
What 3rd world country do you live in that doesn't allow 'the gays' to marry ?
My sister had dinner with Bob and Paula in 85/86 time when the Live Aid was happening my sister and her partner did a Tam aid (Tamworth my town) where local bands played and it all went to the fund and she ended up having dinner with them she said they were a lovely couple and even better for my sister cos she was Boomtown Rats mad when she was young so she got to meet her idol lol
I liked Michael he was a cutie, was really surprised when he dated Kylie
ooo and the other thing you cant pick your family - does not mean you can trust them .....
What 3rd world country do you live in that doesn't allow 'the gays' to marry ?
I was working as a runner for a main Sydney newspaper and I remember when the news broke it's like the whole building stopped for 60secs and we all just stood looking at each other, then I remember someone saying "hoax" it kind of broke the spell and we all scattered.
I was sent to stand outside the hotel in case a reporter or photographer needed anything and it all turned into kind of a blur for me.
Personally I think there was a cover up involved because I'm sure Kym Wilson knows what really happened so I don't think it was suicide.
I loved Michael's music he was one hell of a talented man.
I'm a fan of INXS and thought Michael was the sexiest man alive , got to say reading through the articles on his death I think it was suicide , he was leaving messages saying he'd had enough. Although there is some evidence that prozac combined with drink can cause suicidal thoughts
So sad, I grew up listening to INXS, who would've thought..my friend and I were having a few drinks when we heard the news, we were so shattered!!! I choke up when I see pictures of Tiger Lily, she looks more and more like him the older she gets..
So Michael's ashes are split in three is that right? Any here in Australia? The fight for custody of Tiger has been really upsetting. I heard that Michael didn't like Bob that much, and for him to have custody is a little weird. I can understand Tiger being with Bob to be close to her sisters, but i hope that Bob lets tiger see Michael's family whenever she wants. I guess when she's older she will reconnect if she wants to.
I think so, it's so sad that Tiger doesnt get to see his family, sure is weird the custody arrangements. I remember reading in a mag that Tiger supposedly said to Bob that Micheal was a better singer, lol..than again some of those mags print alot of crap sometimes dont they!
Cant remember the exact name of it but the book that Rhett Hutchence wrote was really interesting, worth a read.
With regard to Bob getting custody of Tiger, it's not so unusal. After Michael died, Paula went downhill, she attempted to kill herself by hanging herself on a door like MH. Bob had no choice but to go for full time custody of the girls which he did but Paula had access to them.
Because Bob felt she was finding it hard to cope looking after 4 kids alone at her house, he often invited Paula to stay at his place so she could spend time with the kids with his support. That's how Bob got to know Tiger pretty well and he loved he even before Paula died.
In Paula's will she asked that Tiger have no contact with MH's parents. I don't know if Bob is adhering to that or he simply doesn't like MH's mum and sister. Maybe when they brought out the book about MH which was very disparaging of Paula, Bob got the hump.
I personally worry about tiger and who is actually influencing her - I mean look at Peaches, is this Tiger's role model?
In regards to Tiger Lilly I think Bob has done a wonderful job.
Look at how many other young Celeb children her age are in the press constantly etc. She is especially at risk considering. But Bob keeps her out of the papers well. Protects her.
All children run riot at some stage in there lives (Peaches). I can only assume Tiger is learning from this not copying.
I'm not a fan of Bob but he was accused of stuff that he did not do. Paula manipulated MH and got him believing all sorts about Bob, ie that bob hit her, stole her money, that Bob was trying to get custody of Tiger, tipping off newspapers without MH's knowledge.
I was an INXS fan the minute I heard the album "Shabooh Shoobah". I remember exactly where I was at when I heard he'd left us.
Although it's been a little over 11 years since his death, I STILL listen to some of INXS every day.
Does anyone else think it's tacky at shit that they did the "Rockstar INXS" show? I mean, come ON....how much money do the surviving members really need?
Gah...and notice how little success they've had since INXS Version 2.0?
It's like Queen replacing Freddie with Paul Rogers. It ain't the same, kids...it just ain't the same.
I didint watch it so I dont know I have been very intrested in himand the entire Paula Yates thing....and now her daughters are growing up into to crazy ass party girls...its sad..I think they where very much in love but I think Paula destroyed him with her baggage.....Paula was such a nut ..I mean the way she died with her poor kid finding her dead...thats just awful...beyond awful.But boy she had chemistry with him on that show of hers when she interviwed him and it was so hot the intrest they had for eachother ..but in the end they both died alone and unhappy....I always wonder about him ..like I wonder if the ex girlfriend still has the famouse voicemail he left her before he died....I would love to hear how he sounded was he distraught?? Was he angry? Did he kill himself or was it a jerkinoff thig.....it sad..everytime I hear his voice on the radio I have to stop and listen...he was great!! I hate to be like this but a ton of poeple hate on Bob Geldoff..but I think he was an allright guy..I mean he was right for not wanting his kids to go to Australia with them...they were both not the best parents ..he had coke in his system when he died so he was still dabbling in drugs and Paula of course overdosed.....maybe Im wrong for that..but they both seemed pretty unstable........and I think there demise speaks of both their choices in life. Sad story......
I think when the lead singer has such a major role in the band (there's something else I'm looking for and I can't think of it right now)... It's seems to be difficult for them to continue on as that band again once the singer has passed. If they can pull it off then I think it's great but, I also think it's best they start a new project rather than continuing with the old one if the singer was such a major role in the band as a whole. Does that make sense?... lol.
Like with Nirvana... After Kurt died they continued musically but as separate projects. I don't agree with them continuing with another singer because in my mind INXS was Michael Hutchence and a band. I'm not meaning that in a rude way... But, that's what I think of. I couldn't believe when I heard he died... So sad.
so young and talented....so sad..what a waste.
Whether Michael died from auto-erotic asphyxiation or suicide, he was messing around with some awful demons. Whether it was accidentally or not, to die like the way Michael did, he probably had an underlying death wish is my guess.
It's the One Thing is my personal favorite of Michael's and Inxs.
Doesn't everyone have an underlying deathwish ... Really!
Or is this the wrong forum to pose that question LOL!
he was the hotness. compelling personality that just reached right through the screen and grabbed you in the privates.
When are these guys going to move on?
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!
Carping the living shit out of the Diem. - Me!!
Dude if it was auto erotic..he could have juts called me !!! I would have given him eh hem a hand......Im going to hell!!!!!
I too lean towards it being the auto erotic --- or he could have just hanged himself. The fact that he was naked doesn't sound strange because his family has said he slept naked ever since his teenage years. I love INXS and have all their CDs and an autographed copy of the Dekadance LP signed by all the band members. In that last rehearsal video on youtube on the day of his death, he looks and sounds great. Re his demise, I don't think we'll ever know what happened and all we can do is speculate based upon what we've been told (and who knows what we haven't?).
I wish I could have seen INXS live.
::wipes dust::
Phew! I had to do a lot of digging to find this thread!
I can't believe it's been 12 years since Michael's passing. In the same year that Michael died (1997), I lost my grandfather. I was about seven years old and it was my first experience with death. So anyone who died around the same time, even if I didn't have any personal connections to them, it still hits me hard.
I adore Michael and can't go a day without listening to his voice. He was superb at what he did. No one can touch him. But he means more to me than just a front man or a sex symbol. He was a poet who wrote heartfelt, beautiful lyrics. He was a humanitarian who wanted people to love each other and take care of one another. That's how I choose to remember Michael Hutchence. How or why he died doesn't matter to me. I just wish he didn't.
I'm going to share some videos that I think are a fitting tribute:
A live montage of "Don't Change" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D148whcxHn8
My favorite INXS song, "Never Tear Us Apart" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01LVE...eature=related
A live version of "By My Side" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXDK0qEZbE
...RIP Michael <3
Good article here about his death anniversary:
And some rare images (for sale of course) just released:

Wow, what a gorgeous child.
She's getting to the age now where she will make her wants known. I hope she is blessed by being free of the demons of her parents.

Ah, so that's a FLUTE you have on your shoulder, Jeff? Did the parrot bite you?ReplyDelete

Or lived it any better, my friends. :)Delete
I'm right there with you, Jeff (like it or not).ReplyDelete
So where are you in the 1970 photo? Are you the guy with the big bushy hair? Or are you wearing a hat...?Replies
You touch on a seminal point in my life, EvKa.Delete
I was working as a Wall Street lawyer in those days, and many don't realize that May 8, 1970 was only the culmination of many days of similar demonstrations in that Wall Street area between anti-VIetnam War demonstrators (largely students) and hardhats set off by the shooting at Kent State four days before. In fact, my involvement in all this began the night of Kent State. I received a call the evening of May 4th from someone I knew through a volunteer legal assistance organization to represent students who'd taken over the NYU Loeb Student Center in protest of what happened at Kent State. She asked that I be their legal liaison in dealing with an expected effort by the NYPD to retake the Center by force.
Thankfully, that never happened, but it was an edgy night I'll never forget.
Days later, on May 8, as I stood close by my office outside Trinity Church (the scene of that photo), watching police do virtually nothing to intervene as hardhats beat demonstrators, I saw a bloodied student run into the church, chased by hardhat swinging rebar bearing an American flag. An Episcopal Priest and I stopped him before he reached the boy lying in the vestibule of the church.
That moment launched a lifelong friendship with the Priest, and a whole different mindset on my part.
By the way, out of those riots came something called the Legal Observers Corp, a cadre of lawyers who, working with the NYPD, appeared at demonstrations to assure all sides knew that an objective legal observer would be reporting on their actions.
And no, I wasn't wearing a hat, just long curly locks.
Add me to the list as well, you've articulated my thoughts perfectly, you mind reader you. Your comment, "I'm living my future and enjoying it." should be a FB meme! Oh and btw, Happy New Year! ;-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I freely release all rights to the phrase...for a modest royalty of course. :) All the best to you guys too, as you're living the life in your little stone house overlooking the Ionian sea!Delete

Is this your new state of advanced wisdom – concentrating on what's truly important in life and not worrying about matters that are totally out of your control or influence? Does this mean your books are going to get thicker or more frequent? Best wishes for good health, happiness and fun in 2017 for you, Barbara and your family.ReplyDeleteReplies
As a matter of fact, my friend, with any luck all that will come to pass! I just finished a new Kaldis adventure focusing on the refugee crisis and some attendant prodigious issues. But I also have short stories out in two new Anthologies ("Sunshine Noir " and "Bound By Mystery"), and plan on turning a character from one of those stories into the basis for a new series.Delete
One guess on what's changed in my life that's freed up my creative efforts. :)
And all the best to you and Judy.
Let me guess what's changed: you've finally gotten your near-terminal case of flatulence under control? No, wait, you're pregnant! Na, probably not. Oh...oh... I got it: you got in your prescription for little blue pills!Delete
Uhh, EvKa, on the subject of meds, might I suggest you consider upping the Ritalin dosage as a New Years resolution?Delete
I'd been looking for a New Year's resolution I could stick with and appreciate for 2017. Thank you, Jeff. My new motto for the year is "I am living my future, and enjoying it." May that be a true reflection when 2018 rolls around - for both of us (and for Barbara, and all the others we love as well).ReplyDeleteReplies
All good thoughts for 2017, Susan. That's the goal! Thanks.Delete

Fly south for angling adventure and comfort
Icicles hang off my skiff, parked on its trailer in the side yard, as leafless tree limbs thrash the skyline and an icy rain falls, mostly sideways. It's a grim picture, unless you adopt a southern perspective.
With crude oil under $50 a barrel, airlines are reviving some sweet deals for an angler with a yen for warmer climes and gamer fish. Florida has some fares under $70 (Fort Lauderdale, each way). Even San Jose, Costa Rica, can now be economically reached, often for under $300 round trip.
Both locations offer awesome fishing in the next few months. Boynton Beach and Deerfield Beach, just north of Miami, are hot for king mackerel, snook, seatrout and redfish from both the piers and beaches, as well as offering an excellent chance to tangle with 20- to 30-pound Jack Crevalle, one of the hardest-fighting gamefish that swims the Atlantic.
Vinny Keitt (www.pier-masters), who introduced me and two of my sons to some excellent fishing around Boynton Beach, has an enthusiastic outlook for January and February. Vinny teaches how to catch the fish in his neighborhood as well as guiding (on foot) at the many public access beaches and piers for whatever is biting best at that moment. It's 85 degrees and sunny down there right now.
January and February will also bring great sailfish action to both Florida and Costa Rica. You'll find affordable packages online for multiple locations around the Miami area (I recommend Rick and Jimbo on the Thomas Flyer, [email protected]. The Costa Rican Pacific Coast, particularly the Quepos/Jaco areas, features vast numbers of the glamorous billfish.
If you don't mind shopping on foot a bit at the marina, local Costa Rican skippers with open 23- to 25-foot outboard-powered panga boats can put you onto the sails, only minutes offshore, for about $200 a day.
Fly anglers dreaming of encounters with the legendary light-tackle skinny-water bonefish also have opportunities. Baltimore to Cancun, Mexico, air connection is direct and about $300 round trip if you can select your days. There are bonefish just north of the Cancun resort area for fishers who'll rent a car and wade-fish the shoreline flats.
For a guided experience for the grey ghosts, make arrangements on-line for fishing from Cancun south all the way to the Ascension Bay (Punta Allen) area.
For do-it-yourselfers, driving down the coast from Cancun to Punta Allen, stopping at local motels and wade-fishing the shoreline flats, can also result in some very inexpensive and rewarding fishing adventures.
All of these areas are among the safest in Mexico, but you do have to use common sense when deciding where and when to explore.
Anglers hoping to tangle with heavier-weight offshore fish also have some economical options. Direct flights from Baltimore to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on the southern Pacific Coast are available for under $400. January, February and March are the peak of the striped marlin season (100 to 250 pounds). Again, local fishermen operating 23- to 25-foot open pangas are available for hire quite reasonably, as are the larger, sleeker sport fishing boats at higher prices.
Multiple billfish days are the norm there this time of year. Your only limitation is how much excitement and fish-fighting exertion you can handle. Accommodations range from expensive waterfront luxury to simple fish-camp-quality motels at much more affordable rates. If you've a yen to travel a bit during Maryland's winter, an adventurous angler has a great many options.

WASHINGTON -- If you believe Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), there are upwards of 78 to 81 members of the Communist Party sitting in Congress within the Democratic Party, an accusation that riled his colleagues.
During a town hall event in Jensen Beach, Fla., on Tuesday night, West addressed a member of the audience who asked how many members of the Democratic Party were "card-carrying Marxist socialists," and made a bold claim about his fellow lawmakers in the Capitol.
"That's a fair question. I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party," West said.
Tim Edson, a spokesman for West, later elaborated on the congressman's remarks.
"He stands by his words. But the words the media needs to pay attention to are the words of the members of the Progressive Caucus," Edson said in a statement Wednesday. "They speak for themselves. Call it what you may, but these House members are clearly not proponents of capitalism, free markets or individual economic freedom."
