Instructional designers have a window into many worlds: we tell people how to sell surgical products, feed infants in a NICU, and comply with corporate-wide budgeting processes. Next month, we may provide guidance on preventing sexual harassment, developing new leaders, and retaining customers. How can we develop meaningful and applicable training without being authorities in these areas?
High-performers and experts within your company usually hold the critical information that helps our learners perform their jobs. These subject matter experts typically have an invaluable depth and breadth of knowledge—yet they may not always have the ability to communicate their experience in a way that helps others learn and perform.
That's where instructional designers shine! Our job is to ask the right questions of the right people, teasing out all the clarifications and what-if scenarios—and then we use that information to develop training where learners practice the appropriate skills to improve their performance.
First, we analyze…
Before recommending a solution and developing a training blueprint, some questions we ask include:
- Is training really the answer? Could a simple job aid or a change to a complicated form address the issue?
- What business need is driving this training request and how will we measure whether we met the need?
- What do you want the learners to be able to do to achieve that need? What would it look like if they do this task or activity correctly?
- What are the audience's needs and preferences?
The best person to answer these questions is often the business partner who will use the training.
Then, we design…
If our evaluation determines a training need, we use the answers to these questions—and more—to recommend a solution that may include eLearning, performance support, classroom training, coaching, or a combination of methods. We then design training activities where learners practice specific tasks needed to achieve the identified business result.
Finally, we create…
Once you approve our design, we need critical information unique to your company to make sure we get the activities right. We often use scenario-based activities that require insight into the roadblocks and decision-making learners will encounter. To identify these specifics, we interview many different individuals like high-performers, new hires, experts, and managers. We also use a variety of resources like articles, research, and company-generated material to create content. By implementing your expertise within our learning model, we help bridge the communication gaps that can hinder effective training.
A Case Study: Filling Potholes with Hot Mix Asphalt
We really didn't know any more about potholes than the angst from hitting them after a long, cold winter! When approached to develop new hire training about this topic, we started by asking an expert questions to analyze the need. We determined the business need was to increase the number of construction workers proficient in the use of hot mix asphalt to fill potholes and that training was an appropriate solution to address this need.
Our next step was to design a solution. Our discussions with the expert uncovered information such as the new hires' familiarity and access to technology, the availability of high performers to act as coaches, and opportunities for hands-on practice. This information helped us decide to create an interactive eLearning module to provide baseline knowledge of hot mix asphalt, a coaching and participant guide for shadow experiences with high performers, and hands-on practice with hot mix asphalt and a selection of common pot holes for the area.
Our final step was to create the content. We again needed our expert and, like many experts we talk to, this expert had developed "unconscious competence"—that ability to do your job without really thinking about each step of the process. Yet we needed to uncover the steps and timing for using hot mix asphalt to fill a pothole, AND we needed to uncover the unconscious steps she takes to do this task well, such as:
- What do you need to do before you start using the hot mix asphalt?
- Why do you perform the steps in that order?
- What mistakes do you see new employees make?
- What is the importance of each step or requirement?
As experts in adult learning, we know the questions to ask to uncover the critical information we need at each stage of the course development process. This information enables us to develop meaningful and applicable training and activities to practice and master related skills. Did we need to be experts in hot mix asphalt to develop what became an effective and engaging learning experience? No! We needed to be experts in adult learning so that we could ask the experts in hot mix asphalt the right questions.
The effective result
In the end, combining our deep understanding of adult learning with your unique client insight makes effective training! Contact us for a free one-hour consultation on how we can use our expertise to support yours.

The Paulists seek to meet the contemporary culture on its own terms, to present the Gospel message in ways that are compelling but not diluted, so that the fullness of the Catholic faith may lead others to find Christ's deep peace and "unreachable quietness." Paulists do not condemn culture, nor do they try to conform the Gospel to it. Rather, we preach the Gospel in new ways and in new forms, so that the deep spiritual longings of the culture might find fulfillment in Jesus Christ. To this end, Paulists use printing presses, movie cameras, and the Internet to give voice to the words of Christ - the Word Himself - to a new generation of Americans.
The founder of the Paulists, Isaac Hecker, was a spiritual seeker, a wandering soul. He lived for a time in Transcendentalist utopian communities where he consulted the leading thinkers of his day. Though a seeker, he became a man of conviction: once he found the truth in the Catholic Church, he gave his whole life to it. His only desire was to proclaim the truth to others so that they too could find their true selves as North American Catholics.
Today our Paulist family grows, joined by Associates and lay collaborators in foundations throughout North America. The vision of Hecker – through our hearts and voices – is at work in the Spirit to seek out those who desire healing and reconciliation, work toward Christian unity and dialogue with faiths outside our tradition in parishes, on the campus, through video and publishing We Give the Word A Voice!
To answer the call to the priesthood is to begin a lifelong journey. It is a process that happens on many levels: responding to God's grace, acquiring a habit of prayer and reflection, and learning theology and other skills required to become an effective priest in a complex world. How does someone prepare for Paulist life? The program is comprised of an Initiation, Integration and Pastoral Internship. No program can guarantee a vocation, but the Paulist formation program is designed to help men discern the mystery of God's grace and calling revealed through dialogue, growth, responsibilities, and service. Please visit www.paulist.org for more information the Paulist formation program. If you are interested in becoming a Paulist, please email our Director of Vocations, Rev. Larry Rice, CSP at firstname.lastname@example.com.
At the beginning of his final year of theology, he makes a lifelong commitment to the Paulist community by making his final promise. Shortly after his commitment, he is ordained a deacon. After one more year, he is eligible to be ordained a priest. With the support of his Paulist Community and the personal resources he has acquired in the period of formation, and by the indispensable grace of Christ, the new priest reaches out to this world, contributing to the reality of Father Hecker's dream—a bright and glorious future for the Church.

text: Barbados' lone electricity company is on the verge of acquiring its Dominica counterpart. Light & Power Holdings Ltd. announced today that it had signed a letter of intent to buy controlling interest in Dominica Electricity Services Ltd. from WRB Enterprises Inc. of Tampa, Florida. At the same time, LPH, which is Barbados Light & Power Company Limited's parent company, said it would be partnering with WRB on regional renewable energy projects. Officials said those involved were "working to complete the transaction before the end of 2012". LPH Managing Director, Peter Williams, said the imminent acquisition was "consistent with our strategy to build a business of scale in the Caribbean". "We believe our operational expertise, and our commitment to stabilising customer costs by introducing alternative sources of energy for electricity generation, create new potential for adding value to the benefit of customers in Dominica," he stated. "We also look forward to maintaining a productive relationship with local investors, including the Dominica Social Security Scheme." WRB President, Bob Blanchard, Jr. said selling to the Barbadian company, which is owned by Canada's Emera Inc., was in DOMLEC's best interest. "WRB is proud of our association with DOMLEC, and with accomplishments at the company over many years. This has not been an easy decision but we have come to know LPH and believe this decision will enhance the capacity of DOMLEC to serve its customers," he said. He added that his company was working with LPH to implement a continuity plan to ensure change of control activities occur with customer service and employee alignment as a priority. As BL&P is to Barbados, DOMLEC is Dominica's sole electric utility and provides service to 34,000 customers. WRB owns 52 per cent of DOMLEC, with 21 per cent held by Dominica Social Security Scheme and the remainder by other investors. The Dominican utility was once government owned. (SC)

There is nothing else much greater than the happiness of being a parent. Being a parent is no easy task. There is a saying that being a parent is a never ending job and it requires a lot of hard work. I am a proud parent of 2 wonderful kids. My eldest is a 6 year old girl and my youngest is a one year old baby boy. Speaking from my own experience, I had a real hard time when my eldest was born. It's a good thing that my mother helped me taking care of my new born. It was basically my first time in everything with regards to taking care of a baby. I can say that being a second time mommy was a lot more easier. I can now juggle those motherhood chores without sweat.
I recently joined Parentricity which is for me a social network wherein first time parents can interact with each other. Parents can now share their own experiences, ideas and opinions in regards of being a parent. Parents can share and help each other on buying and having baby products. They can share their own experiences with some baby products from strollers to baby bottles to clothes. This site is very helpful not just for first time parents but to all the parents. Learn from other parents things which can be very helpful to you.
Explore the world of parents .....Join us and share your joys of being a parent.

The Expectation of Intelligence
In modern Western society, we prize intelligence above most other attributes. The higher your SAT score, the higher-ranked university you can attend. The higher your SAT score, the more pleased your parents will be. The higher your SAT score, the more attention you get from mentors—after all, you can really make something of yourself.
But what about those other kids, the ones with lower scores?
Most people working on AI today are of the super-smart variety. They score in the 91st or 99th percentile and believe machines can push human intelligence to a full 100, that AI can be infallible. The great optimization. AI could not only replicate human intelligence but even hurdle the boundary of maximum humanoid computational power. But, I want to consider this: Does artificial intelligence actually seek to replicate human intelligence if our goal is to hurdle that boundary of limitation? Or does it seek some yet-unattainable goal of perfection, of complete mastery—of achieving a hyperbole?
Scary speculation on AI surpassing human intelligence and growing at an exponential pace has been around since the industrial revolution, but recently, it's made a comeback on the internet. And it's left me juggling some big questions.
Human intelligence is flawed. We don't know much about the human brain, though we've made great leaps in the past century; phrenology, as it were, was only discredited as a science in the 1840s. But we do know the human brain has an impressive ability to deceive itself—just watch any episode of Criminal Minds to see the lengths a mind will go to protect its owner. We also know the brain has a great amount of matter devoted to interpersonal interaction. Humans and other social species have evolved to recognize the emotional cues of others. Moreover, a team working in tandem—you can think of The West Wing or, yet again, the Criminal Minds investigative team—has a much greater collective capacity for intelligence than do the individuals.
So what do we hope for from AI? Do we expect a single computer will have the working capacity of a human team? Will all AI be capable of the same super-intelligence, or will some AI be higher functioning than other AI? and will those more capable AI machines be able to manipulate less intelligent AI?
Woah, that's a lot to consider.
Here's a simpler question: Do we expect that AI will be able to score a perfect 2400 on the SAT every time? We don't have this expectation for humans—in fact, people largely believe that getting a perfect score is due in small part to luck. We recognize there's little difference between scores of 2400 and 2390, or even 2300. It comes down to just a few questions, usually a handful of vocabulary terms that a kid is either familiar with or not. They're all top scorers, no great divide among them. We know human intelligence to be, by definition, limited and fallible.
We forget, particularly among people in the 90+ percentiles, that the average SAT score is a 1490 out of 2400. Most people are, in fact, comforted by the knowledge that they are average, happy to not have fallen behind the pack. So why does AI need to attain some sort of exceptionalism? Intelligence, as I know it, is not a pursuit of perfection nor an encyclopedic recall of written history. Intelligence is often described as specialized: book smart, street smart, emotional intelligence, muscle memory, analytical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, creative problem-solving. No human is intended to master them all.
I started thinking about all this because I (sometimes) tutor ESL students preparing for the SAT. They're too fluent to take the TOEFL but still struggle to score high on SAT Critical Reading. I start by working on vocabulary—if they can't understand the words in the answer choices, for example, they can't reason between them effectively. This works for some, and their scores skyrocket. Vocabulary breadth was their missing piece.
Second, I work with them on skimming. I tell them to stop reading the passages word-for-word, a scary prospect for a non-native speaker. But I can usually convince them in a few weeks that effective skimming can serve them just as well as word-for-word reading. Now, they're all at least finishing the sections within the time limit. I get them to read in a new way. Another couple students' scores skyrocket at this point.
Some students inevitably still score low. They say they understand the passage, the questions, and the answer choices. But they eliminate the correct answer, sometimes as much as 50 percent of the time. Why is that? My hypothesis: they struggle to reason between answer choices (and would in any language). So, I start them on reasoning exercises. Can we identify an argument? What's the support for that argument? And—here's where we put the critical in critical reading—what might be wrong with an argument (or answer choice)? What assumptions are being made? I ask them to think in a different way. And another group of students' scores leap ahead.
I wonder about these kids a lot. I was a 99 percenter all my life. I even enjoyed (edit: enjoy) taking tests because I know I'll score well. I always have. I wonder what it does to a kid when tests tell them again and again that they're not smart. I wonder if I teach them to think like me, they'll start to score like me. I wonder why tests favor my way of thinking and if I actually "think better" than anyone else at all.
Has the exceptionalism I've been told my whole life I possess made me skeptical of super-intelligent AI? I don't know. But I don't think AI can represent human intelligence because human intelligence is too variable. We can engineer bridges, we can comfort one another, we can make sacrifices all within the same intelligence, a single human mind too complex to be perfect. We do what's right instead of what's easy (sometimes).
A creative writing professor once told my class—an introductory fiction university course—that the best characters have complicated motivations. They do something selfish, and then they do something so self-sacrificing and earnest that we, as human readers, are moved. Machines aren't capable, so far, of this type of variable decision-making. Humans are unique not only in our ability to reason but in our ability to ignore our reasoning and act in spite of what we know to be right or true. We play with fire because we yield to temptation. Could a machine learn to be curious, to be self-destructive, to be forgiving… to be human?
So I'll ask you again: what do we expect from artificial intelligence? What do we expect from our children? And what do we expect from ourselves? I think a few moments, or days, of reflection on these questions could do us all a little good. Leave any answers you find in the comments section below.

Ahmad, BI and Murphy, J and Langdon, PM and Godsill, SJ (2014) Filtering perturbed in-vehicle pointing gesture trajectories: Improving the reliability of intent inference. In: UNSPECIFIED.Full text not available from this repository.
© 2014 IEEE. Making a selection on an in-vehicle touchscreen entails undertaking a pointing gesture that can be subjected to a high level of perturbation due to road and/or driving conditions. This can lead to erroneous user input and requires further attention that would otherwise be available for driving. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity sequential Monte Carlo filtering method that removes the perturbations present in a highly non-linear pointing hand/finger trajectory. This latter is tracked using a 3D vision sensory device. The preprocessing introduced allows the intended destination on the interactive display to be determined, which can substantially reduce the duration of the pointing task and associated attention. The benefits of the proposed approach are illustrated using data from in-vehicle tests.

Description: The Rheinmetall Defense Electronics' TARES, stands after Tactical Advanced Recce Strike, is a state-of-the-art attack drone developed to meet the requirements of the German Army (Bundeswehr). It can stay on station for over four hours at distances of up to 200 kilometers. The TARES weapon system autonomously or by a remote ground controller tracks down, classifies and takes out enemy targets behind enemy lines.
TARES builds on Taifun-RS attack drone but expanding capabilities to achieve unambiguous identification of targets, enabling the commander on the ground to decide at any time whether or not to engage a given target while minimizing collateral damage. To do so, TARES could add a data link or a n underside-mounted target sensor to its radar sensor head. A decision concerning TARES development will be made in May 2005 following Taifun-RS research and development effort completion. Objective TARES weapon system will provide ground operator with high resolution radar and infrared imagery of stationary and moving targets. This way, the operator can choose among correcting impact trajectory, switch targets or aborting the mission. This can be done trough existing technologies easy to implement, reliable and inexpensive. The resulting system will be able to operate in a wide range of scenarios from urban areas through conventional battlefields.
The TARES system will consist of three workstations per computer, a standardized shelter, C3I (command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) data link and 16 TARES air vehicles. At this point, the air vehicles would be launched with a pre-programmed flight path then the ground control station will generate a mission plan that will be uploaded to the air vehicle. The air vehicle will be certified to take out field fortifications, air defense systems, artillery systems, tanks, helicopters, tactical bridging systems, infrastructure, convoys and other high value military assets. The first TARES technology demonstrator made its maiden flight on December 20, 2004, demonstrating high resolution imagery transmission, flight control functions as well as its aerodynamics characteristics. The aim of these test series is to determine how fits radar target sensor head with the infrared target sensor.

On December 8, 11th and Bark sponsors another park cleanup. We picked up poop, raked and bagged leaves, cleaned the benches and tables, removed some metal that had been exposed from erosion. Thanks to everyone who helped!
September Cleanup a Success
Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday to help make the dog park and the community just a little bit better. We mulched the tree boxes, edged and pulled the weeds inside and outside of the park, disinfected the benches, and cleanup up dog poop. We also added new new poop bag dispenser. Just an hour of work made a huge difference.
And after the cleanup, a few of us joined together for a dog friendly brunch at Bar Roubaix.
Fall Park Cleanup & Brunch - September 22
It's time for a fall cleanup, and we need your help. Join us on Saturday September 22 at 10:30. We'll add new mulch to the tree boxes, trim the grass, pick up any debris in and around the park, and repair the plastic meshing that keeps small dogs safely in the park.
We'll bring trash bags, gloves, mulch, a rake and shovel, and zip ties for the plastic meshing. If you can bring, or lend us, a manual push-mower or a gas-powered weed wacker to trim the grass, please email us.
Post-Cleanup Brunch at Bar Roubaix
After the cleanup, we'll gather and have brunch at Bar Roubaix on Irving Street. Dogs are welcome on the patio.
Please RSVP here to let us know if you are coming to brunch.
If you can't attend but would like to help? Consider a tax-deductible donation to help fund the cleanup. Your generous donations help us buy mulch and other supplies. Thanks again.
A Successful Earth Day Cleanup
On Saturday, April 21, 11th and Bark held a cleanup at the park in conjunction with a neighborhood-wide cleanup, the Great CoHi Cleanup. In addition to picking up any debris in and around the park—including up and down Park Rd. and 11th St.—volunteers repainted the benches and table, and repaired the plastic meshing that keeps small dogs safely in the park. The biggest project of the day was creating a dry well to stop a standing water issue not-so-fondly referred to as "the pond." Thanks to everyone who spent their afternoon helping, and in particular those who were on shovel duty.
Help Us Get Rid of the Pond
We'll pick up debris in and around the park. We'll also create a dry well to stop the formation of the "pond." This event is being held in conjunction with the The Great CoHi Cleanup, a neighborhood-wide event.
Sign-up for the cleanup and designate your interest in the dog park cleanup:

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have unveiled their 2014 holiday cards and it's one of my designs for Simply to Impress!
Tori chose "Happy Confetti", with gold foil-stamping, and the result with her gorgeous family photo turned out beautifully! Read more on Tori's blog. The typeface used for the word "holidays" is Cantoni, one of my favourites by the talented Debi Sementelli.


text: "I recently watched Mike Birbiglia's movie, Don't Think Twice, and one of my favorite lines was, "Your twenties are all about hope and then your thirties are all about realizing how dumb it was to hope." We're shown this kind of mentality throughout What We Never Had. The main character Josh—though not quite thirty—is starting to develop a similar outlook on life. It is mentioned, but never fully developed, about how he came back to Los Angeles to try and make it as an actor, but it didn't pan out. He failed years before the story takes place and now we're watching him readjust his expectations for life. The acting element is a small piece of the greater narrative and while we don't get the full story we're not supposed to because the core of Zach Wyner's novel is what comes after."

Royston Round Turquoise + Moissanite Accent Ring | Sterling Silver + 14k Gold | One of a Kind
Royston Round Turquoise + Moissanite Accent Ring | Sterling Silver + 14k Gold | One of a Kind
◊ We've accented this round turquoise with two dainty moissanite stones, creating a beautifully unique statement ring.
◊ Turquoise measures approximately 14 mm in diameter. It is hand fabricated in a sterling silver bezel and set on a sterling silver band. The moissanites measure 2mm and are set in 14k solid gold. Both metals have a soft polished finish.
◊ Because this ring is one of a kind, it is ready to ship in size 6. It cannot be sized.
◊ This turquoise is from the historic Aztec Mine in the Royston Mining District of Esmerelda and Nye Counties, Nevada. It produced some of the classic looks of the Royston district with it's baby blues and wild greens often accented with a blonde webbing and matrix.
◊ Turquoise is an opaque, blue–to–green mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum. It has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue. The color varies depending on the other elements within the turquoise.
◊ Moissanites are brilliant, sparkling stones which are often referred to as "space diamonds." They are incredibly durable, resistant to high heat, and rival diamonds in many arenas. Their hardness measures a 9.25 on the Mohs scale, making them an excellent choice for wearability. Forever One is graded to be colorless in comparison to a diamond color chart.

Well hello there! Let me tell you about the crazy weather that was going on when I was taking these pictures-- it got cloudy and rainy really quickly and COLD (Southern California cold. So like, 69 or 70. Freezing, in other words) The good news is that even though it was windy (read: hair flying everywhere) and my teeth were chat chat chattering, the sky turned an amazing pink. We've been over this before but I am practically dumbfounded over sunsets. Actually, the sky in general. My phone is full of pictures of great big clouds and beautiful skies full of pinks and red. I look up at the sky all of the time and it rarely disappoints and really, how can you have a bad day with all of that beauty surrounding you? Answer: You can't! Take my word for it. Look up.
I would have to think about whether I would wear this outfit to work because it might be a little short for a law office (for me anyway). I am really particular about the length and silhouette of pieces because dressing for the office as a woman is (for better or worse) establishing credibility and nothing undermines that faster than a too short hemline or too much cleavage. Maybe someday, we can all be judged by what is on our inside but until we stumble into that Utopia, I'm not taking any chances!! I think this little set is perfect for an after- work function or dinner and a show. The skirt and shirt are both from Zara and are a really nice quality- heavy and textured. It's a deep, beautiful shade of navy, too. In the summer, it would be really cute with a neutral strappy sandal and an arm full of bangles. I pulled this bag out of the closet for the first time in a long while. I love this bag. Wait, I love all bags. I have every Gucci bag I've ever purchased going back maybe 15 years and I never sell them. They are like family to me. I'm a Gucch-a-holic (we all have our problems though, am I right!?) 😊
We hope your day and your week are just lovely and hey! Thank you so much for stopping by! Xoxo 🎀🍭Michelle

These four lovely dogs visited the studio for portraits together and individually.
They are the four-legged dog kids of someone who has quietly rescued dogs and cats for decades in Anchorage. Cindy ... you are a role model to me. I don't know how you do it. But you do. One rescue at a time. One happy story at a time. And you just keep doing it.
Thank you for sharing your family with me over the years. And thank you for being there for so many wonderful cats and dogs over the years. You've inspired me and so many others.

You wake up to a 2 am phone call from the ER; Mom fell again. Your kids are still in bed. Your husband has to be at the office early for a big meeting tomorrow. It looks like your heading to the hospital, again.
Your head is filled with worries about whether your husband will remember that Susie has to have her field trip slip signed and that Johnny has soccer practice. You were going to put some food in the crockpot before you went to work, now you wonder what you will eat for dinner.
You need help. Your husband and your siblings ask what they can do to help. At 2am, you are lucky if you remember to wear the same shoes and you are pretty sure you might be wearing your shirt inside out. You know you need help, but you can't think of what you need help with.
Oh, and then when you get to the ER, you will be waiting. Sitting and thinking of all the things you have to do and doing ... nothing. Your siblings text, email, or call for updates. Each one gets their own personal update, and you look down at your feet and confirm you indeed have on two different shoes.
What if you could get help? What if you could do something helpful while waiting, again? What if you could give the family one update? What if you could remind your husband about the field trip and soccer practice without waking him up?
Well, you can. Want to read more?

Avoidance Isn't the Best Answer
The Past Affects Us, But We Don't Have to be a Slave to its Bidding
by Emily Dreher, Unspoken Voices Contributor
I don't have PSTD, at least I don't think I do. And I don't think of myself as a survivor because it's really just easier to not think about it at all or ever.
But I do know that it takes a long time to get to the point where you can think about it, and you can start to think, "Hey none of that was normal or okay."
In high school, I didn't have the language or awareness to put into words why I would almost always rather stay after school at clubs or go to a friend's house instead of my own. Looking back now, with distance and time and wisdom and more and more snippets of stories from my siblings, I feel bad and weird and guilty because it never really happened directly to me.
It doesn't make sense, but I feel like I don't get to say that I survived when I wasn't the one who was yelled at or hit on occasion or kicked out at 16. I did nothing. I just stayed in my room most of the time.
But of course it affected me.
I hated times in high school when teachers would reprimand the whole class for the behavior of a rowdy few kids because I felt like crying since I had somehow messed up.
Years later as an adult and hundreds of miles away from my parent, I left work early once (thankfully I was all done and I had maybe a half-hour left of my shift). A co-worker who wasn't on my team was using an angry voice at someone else across the room for I don't even remember what. But I do remember immediately shrinking down, breathing faster, tears in my eyes and knowing I just had to get out. I left without a word and biked home, trying as hard as I could to hold myself together until I finally closed the door to my apartment behind me. Alone, I was able to cry and remind myself I was safe, which felt off because I don't remember that kind of reaction when I was living in the situation.
Right after the episode as I was messaging a friend, I came to a bitter truth. I hung on to the thought "you made me like this." It makes an angry pit in my stomach even as I reflect on it now, but that indignation feels more freeing than years of thinking I was wrong and I was the reason things were bad.
I try not to think about then, but one time I did broach the topic in therapy, and I relayed that I hate the idea that the only way for me to move forward is to confront that person or forgive them or try to salvage our relationship.
I don't want to talk to them unless I absolutely have to. I maintain a purely perfunctory relationship because at some point I need to get the rest of my childhood relics out of the house. If they can't figure out what they've done wrong, then that's not my problem, and it's certainly not worth my time to play nice any longer than I have to. The point is . . . avoidance is easy.
Maybe that's not the healthiest or most productive thing to do, and it's certainly part of a pattern — shaped by them no less — of choosing conflict avoidance. But I don't care, and I shouldn't have to. I want to live my life and continue to work my way out of their influence.

Sister Carol Tenerovich, formerly Sister Leanne, entered religious life from Our Lady of Victory parish in Harwick, Pa. She was most influenced in her vocation by the joy she experienced with the young Sisters serving at St. Alphonsus Elementary School in Springdale, Pa, among them Sisters Laurie (Laurentia) Hoegle, Mary Gilbert, and Charlotte Gatz.
She was a teacher in the early part of her ministry, and later became a director of religious education. She ministered at St. John De La Salle Parish in Delmont (1973-79), and was with the Office of Religious Education in the Diocese of Wheeling, WV, for eight years (1980-88), years she describes as "the most growth-filled and exciting of my entire religious education career." She also served as director of religious education at SS. Peter & Paul Convent in Decatur, Ga. (1996-98), and St. Joseph Parish in Waycross, Ga. (1998-99). Since 1999, she has served as a volunteer in pastoral ministry at S.C.I. Fayette Prison in LaBelle, Pa. She finds the ministry extraordinarily gratifying.
Through her ministry, Sister Carol believes she is able to give the most vulnerable among us a sense that God is with them, God cares about them, and wishes to be their companion in life. Her life and ministry reflect her belief that "the lifestyles of women religious are often very interesting, meaningful, exciting, and fulfilling."

With the price of beauty comes the side of darkness from its past. Continue reading
Tag Archives: Angels
Three Escorts
He saw angels standing at his window sill in the hospital room. Large angels that were waiting on him. The fragile hairless man who stood up was ravaged by the disease that had him. Yet, he jumped out of bed to see his companions who would, along with his father escort him to the otherside. He had never seen an angel before, there were three waiting on him, their wings outstretched, all in white gowns, with crowns of gold on their heads were waiting for one of their beloved souls to cross. He asked if I saw them. I had to see them! They were so beautiful!
A few hours later, this fragile man was comatose muttering in his sleep, "How are you going to take me home? Yes, I want to go home. How are we going to get there? Piggy back?" then he laughed.
I knew he was talking to his father, my Granddaddy, who was present in the room, ready to retrieve his son. He had died about 12 years earlier of a different form of the disease that had my father.
I stepped out after that to refresh myself and left the hospital grounds for a while. Suddenly upon walking through the parking garage tunnel that led to the hospital, I knew he was going. I innately knew my father was not to live much longer. A voice whispered to me, hurry, just hurry. Running to meet death, I had to tell him goodbye.
Holding his hand while his breaths were shallow, strained and heavy, gargled by the mucous in his chest. I asked him to check on me from time to time, and to tell God and Jesus I said hello, that I loved him dearly. I always would.
Not yet fully able to come to grips with his death which was so imminent, I held back what I really wanted to say and that was to say how lucky I was to have him as a loving father, one who stood by me all those years and who only wanted the best for me. No girl could have been as lucky as me.
He squeezed my hand. In that moment, I knew he could hear me. He knew. There is life in a comatose state before we pass. Thank God he knew how much I loved him.
With all the family around, he arose from his coma to ask what was happening with his body. My sister, a physician, had to tell him, "Daddy, you are in the hospital. He asked, "why?"
"Because Daddy, you are dying of lung cancer."
He nodded as though he understood, being a doctor himself. He then said he loved everyone very much and laid back down, his head upon the soft pillow and stopped breathing.
What Heaven Really Wants Us To Know
The lady in the elevator was rude. Pointing out that I could not see the number 5 had been pressed and not 3. Not looking up to meet my eyes, was a way of hers to let me know I was less than, not important in her world or others. I didn't matter. It happens every day, all day, the mentality of others toward others.
The young man standing in the get together with other young cronies, some of them female, starts to laugh when they lay eyes upon me. Is it the way I look or that I am older? Am I not dressed nice enough? Is it a way of being defiant and important in their world, to shun the older people as not important? Is it a way to make someone feel less than? It's the mentality off others toward others.
The cute puppy immediately runs up to me as I exit the elevator, picking me out of strangers walking past. He knows. He sees what I try to carry, what I try to instill in others, the "Good Soul". It only comes with the white light. Animals know when you are a good person or not. Their built in uncanny sense of awareness is very distinctual and humans do not poessess it. I carry the white light. I am merely one of millions of souls on this planet in a body but my soul tries to walk along God's path.
What Heaven really wants us to know is that we as individuals are indeed loved, by something much bigger than what we will ever be able to see while alive unless you have a gift or unless you someone meet your maker but come back. Heaven wants us to know that when our time comes we don't just go away but are still learning. We have a job to do here, to learn how to be better souls in a body that perhaps might not work, might not be perfect and might not be what we wanted. We still have to learn from our mistakes and right the wrong. Learn from the mentality of others so that you don't repeat it.
We need to learn to be grateful for what we have, be grateful to be able to give to others perhaps the last dollar we own, the last smile a person may see, or the last laugh someone may experience from our jokes. It comes with compassion and it comes from God.
Empathy and compassion, stepping outside of our own needs to see the lost dog on the street, the homeless man asking for money or food, to the person who suffers from mental illness. It doesn't matter how much money we have, what we wear. What does matter is how we treat people, the mentality of others toward others.
If you saw an elderly woman walking outside in the pouring rain would you cover her with your umbrella and help her? If you saw an elderly man with a flat tire would you call someone or ask if he is okay? If you saw a lost dog or cat would you try to help get it to its home?
Say you are rich, so you donate money to a worthy cause. It does not mean your soul is good. You donate it to give it away because if you don't, the government will take it in tax form. What were your motives to begin with? Do you personally hand people money instead? Do you personally go out of your way to help an indivdual in need or find the most needy to help? Did you buy a turkey for the lady who supports her grandkids and disabled husband and yet, she only has one lung and lives on food stamps? What have you done to deserve being called a Good Soul"? Remember, the mentality of others towards others.
Hide and Seek
He didn't want to show himself. He was married to her for far too long and when he passed, that was it for him. No more going back to check on her. It wasn't that long after he had died that she moved another man into her bed. So what was the point? Then she started contacting me. I mean really contacting me to the point of almost abuse. Why couldn't I bring him through to her and why couldn't he come to her?
"I was slacking. I was useless, I wasn't any good." Those were her words to me on a daily basis. I, being a kind soul couldn't bring myself to tell her, he is hiding behind a wall throwing out clues to me because he really basically doesn't want anything to do with you anymore. He is playing hide and seek, only he doesn't want you to find him. He doesn't want to be found. He DOESNT WANT TO COME BACK TO YOU!!! Really simply abusive lady, try kicking that scum bag out of your bed and show some real remorse for the loss of your husband who probably put up with you for umpteen years. That was my thought but obviously she wanted her cake and her birthday present as well. Not going to happen. It's not like they can't see you and what you do. Of course they can. Just because they move from one physical body to a spiritual energy form doesn't mean they can't see you. They can. They can hear you too. He probably heard what you called me.
So her deceased husband hid behind the partition, a wall that reminded me of the tv show, The Dating Game from the 70's. Now I am showing my age. He showed me signs, symbols, private things that went on their married life but refused to come all the way through. Some spirits won't do this as they are afraid they might not get back to where they currently are. He was not the only one to do it this way. A mother who passed early in life from a heart issue also wouldn't show herself. I think she was, I know she was ashamed and the family didn't tell me everything but I saw it. I saw what happened to her. That's okay. Also, some spirits who take their own life do this as well because they are also ashamed. This was not the case in this instance with this lady and her deceased husband. If I were him, heck I would run as far as eternity was long. I would keep on running.
So if I tell you I can't bring him or her forward, but I give you all the necessary information from them so that you know without a doubt I am speaking to them, take this as a sign that perhaps they don't want to come back..for whatever reason. However, for this "lonely" lady in mourning, it was because he had had enough of her crap and didn't want to deal with it in the afterlife.

Othersidepsychic, When Spirits Don't Speak Our Language They Bring Translators
I was in the AT&T store the other day looking at new phones and Juan was the salesman assigned to me. He was a pretty non descript non exciting gentleman who was busy trying to figure out my needs. My phone just stopped working and I wanted to upgrade to a different one and I was curious as to what plans were out there for me.
Well, then she showed up. Her hair was impeccable and so was her English. She was dressed in a suit and behind her was a little old man, wrinkled from the sun. He was dressed in simple attire, old work pants, a old shirt, and he had a comb over on his head. I could tell he was foreign but not sure as to what country he was from.
She was his language barrier. An interpreter.
I looked at Juan wondering if I should say something. I did. No holds barred with me. I said, "Juan, there is a man standing behind you and a woman standing to the right of you. The woman is telling me there is a man who died about 13 years ago and is here. Did you lose a grandfather about that time?"
He was in shock. The look on his face was not what he was expecting and just looked dazed at me as to question, who am I?
I explained that yes, I cook for a living to pay the bills but I am really a very gifted medium and psychic and remote viewer. I also explained I was seeing his grandfather and this woman standing behind him and they are trying to get a message across to him. In my explanations of what I was seeing, I also told Juan the names of other famous people I have read to lend credibility to who I was.
He indeed did lose a grandfather 13 years ago. At that time, he lost all concentrations on me and my needs of wanting to upgrade. Well, that was sorted out over a period of two hours.
After a few minutes, my questions turned to Juan and I asked him, "who is this woman? I described her to him but it did not fit any description of a lost loved one.
Juan had not a clue. Then I asked, did your grandfather not speak English? This woman was very professional looking in her mannerisms, how she was dressed and how she stayed at a distance from the grandfather. You could just tell they were not together as a couple. That she was there on business only.
He said no, he did not speak English. He was from Mexico.
Bingo, I figured it out, he had brought a translator with him to see his grandson.
This was the first time I encountered a translator on the other side.
The translator never gave her name and she proceeded to show me a place in Mexico that this man, Juan's grandfather lived. It had columns, stone concrete columns sitting outside to the entrance of where he lived.
Juan did indeed confirm that the entrance to the town had columns outside, concrete columns that were tall. It was the entrance to his city that he grew up in as a child and where his family lived. He named the city but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the town.
The grandfather then proceeded to tell me about Juan's sister who was studying to be a medical person. But for some reason she left school. He didnt want her to leave school, rather finish her education so she didn't end up like him, poor, a pauper, a man of little knowledge.
Juan confirmed his sister was in medical college at one point but left due to family issues and money.
His mouth was left hanging open. But the real kicker came when I said to Juan, your grandfather loves your three children.
Indeed, Juan had three children, and he became a true believer when I said those words. I nailed it on the head for him. For a non believer, he came to believe that our loved ones are indeed around us.
My point is that, even though our loved ones may come from different countries, they can still speak our same language on the other side, only that it may need a translator to do so.
In leaving Juan, and with a new cell phone in hand and pricey plan, I told him, his grandfather will always be with him, watching over him and his family.
Nice to know language is not a barrier to getting a message across.

Other Side Psychic, 11:11, 1:11
Its to the point I know it has something to do with me personally, perhaps my spiritual fitness or perhaps it is due to my gift.
We on occasion look up at the clock and see the numbers 11:11 or 1:11.
Well when you see it day in day out, twice, even three times a day, there might be a reason. I have heard it is because these numbers belong to half angels and half demons. That people who see it all the time are just that. I am no demon but yes, I can claim the devil made me do things on occasion.
That is pretty scary to think that could be the case. Usually when people see those numbers, they say a rhyme or even riddle after it.
I know I do, to the point of it being something like this: 11:11, God please bless my family, especially (and I name the ones who have passed.)who are in heaven.
There are several articles written on this number or collection of numbers and I know I am not alone in seeing it but when you see it everyday for days on end, there is a reason. Even this all knowing psychic and medium doesn't know all the answers, especially when it comes to me. I can't see for myself.
I had to share this because it is so prevalent in my life I wish I truly knew what it meant for me and why I am seeing it all the time.
I welcome comments on this subject from some of the bloggers I follow who have far more knowledge on this subject than I do.
OtherSidePsychic, When We are Near Death
Its called Life on Life's terms. We all have to go through it and face the final hour. Its not so romantic really as the movies portray it. Some people are riddled with cancer, others, a debilitating disease, still others take their own life, despondent over the ones they were living.
He was talking to his father during his final hours, even seeing angels at his window. His father had passed about twenty years prior of throat cancer and alzheimers. I witnessed it first hand.
When we are near death, either we are surrounded by angels, people who loved us and passed on before us or we are not. I know I have seen the arch angel Michael twice in my short life. I know that is one angel who will be with me during my finalexperience and into the next life.
I knew when my twin sister was dying as I felt it half way across the world. I became violently ill, and it was a sinking feeling of actually dying, needing to reach her immediately but I couldn't. All I could think about was Amy. I had to tell her goodbye. I was too sick to get off the floor. It was actually what she was feeling. I was perfectly healthy a minute before.
If we didn't care about a person we wouldn't cry our hearts out when they pass on. If you knew what I knew, you wouldn't cry but be happy that they have gone onto a world far more better than what they left.
We all know what happens to the people who are not so nice and pure of heart.
I do know the man I saw die, saw angels, was surrounded by them, and was talking to people he loved who had passed on. They came back for him to take him home. In a coma, he said he wanted to go home but how was he going to get there? Piggy Back? Those were his exact words. He laughed, and a few hours later, he passed.
I hope I don't have to hitchhike a ride, I hope Amy shows up in a nice BMW
Other Side Psychic, WALKING WITH ANGELS
Everyone has their own path in this life. Be it right or wrong. I chose mine and my powerlessness evolved because i realized I am not God, I am a spirit that chose to walk my path laid out for me to learn from it, lessons, only to return into the light. I am a former angel as we all were, living a human life directed by God, my higher power and angels have been with me the entire time. These angels are family members who have died, to my guiding angel who I have seen twice, The Arch Angel Michael.
Here are some encounters I have had good and bad.
I am a beacon that shines like a bright light off a foggy north shoal, a lighthouse of sorts, guiding ships safely into port. What I was given as a gift, acts very much in the same way, only it is lighting the way for something else, spirits to come closer to deliver their message much as ship delivers its cargo.
As a child, I flew with other children who were angels. I walked among them, saw them after they had died, some from the early 1600's, 1700's and 1800's in their death clothes laughing, playing, little boys with beret type hats on, suspenders holding their pants up, sleeves rolled up and barefoot, clutching fishing poles. They died while fishing, they ultimately drowned.
Little girls running with dolls in their hands, giggling, climbing the flower laden hill, with still other angel children playing with dolls. Some dressed in simple smocks, while others were dressed in the finest clothes that money could buy. Then swoosh, ducking, I saw overhead a number of them were flying, in single file, then coming together side by side. The little girl leading the flight in particular wore a puffy organza white dress down to her ankles, gathered into puffs at the upper arm, filled with glittering white light shining all over it, leading the way of the flight of other angels, darting up, swooping down. She had ringlets of golden white blonde hair, giant curls on top of her head pulled around in the back where it flew free. Her pink bow on top of her curls glistened in the golden light I was bathed in. The entire dream was in color, if that was what it was. I doubt it was a dream per say, but rather, a small glimpse of heaven from a child's eye.
Truly I had died and gone to heaven and saw the children there. There were hundreds of them. All happy, all playing. There were small miniature houses built for them and they were flying in and out of them, through them. Some houses were pink, some were golden, some were snow white.
The faces are like a rolodex, flipping fast, and I can see them talking. Their voices are silent. Their mouths are moving but nothing is being heard. They are speaking their request to me, asking for closure. Women, men, all races, all ages.This roladex of unknown faces are moving as fast as a deck of cards being shuffled, all spirits wanting to find closure. Some nights I see hundreds. All different, but all are dead. Their lips are moving but I am not hearing anything because I am not supposed to. When I come across a loved one, the rolodex face shows up, and the request is made to be known.
When i am in the presence of an unknown spirit, I know it immediately. A sixth sense, no, it is actually knowing they are there. My body erupts in bone cold chills as though I am standing in a European winter. Not always though. There are times when they are behind me, in front of me and I have to ask them to step aside. I can't be bothered because I have other jobs to do. It's not that I want to ignore them but if I never met the person who is seeking closure or needs it, I can't honor the spirits request until that person is made known.
Then there is the person on this side who needs to find answers. Why was their loved one and not them taken? They are suffering a terrible loss. Their grief is unbearable. How do you find comfort in a world that doesn't understand the other side? That's where I come in. Are they in a good place? Are they still with them? The answer is yes, they are still with them, daily. They just leave this earthly body, a vessel given to them to learn lessons before re-entering back into God's white light. We are here to learn, not to get ahead of each other but to learn, from our past mistakes, to rectify any wrongs we did while alive, to make another persons life enriched. That is our purpose here on Earth. To love and to help others.
I always had the feeling of being watched, literally, and not by one but by hundreds
I walk among angels.I still do. They watch my every move and are there to protect me when faced with danger.
He appeared with red eyes, roughly about my height, wearing dread's on top of his head staring at me at 1 am in the morning, in the train station. It was pitch black outside, and his intent was not to say hi but to cause harm. WIthin seconds, as he walked around me looking at me and then his eyes met mine, he backed away. There was some force that made him back away. I immediately felt protected. I felt as though I was surrounded by 12 warriors a shield so strong that not even 100's of these demons could break or tear down. A band of angels stood around me and he knew it, he saw it and he ran. I felt them surround me. Shield me. No harm could come to me.
I was being escorted by a driver in a very dangerous place, too dangerous to walk, especially if you were a woman. To make matters worse, I was not entirely sure that this person sent to escort me to a store could protect me if anything happened rather, I knew I could help myself but to the extent of several people jumping us, I knew I would not make it out alive or if I did, it would be in pieces.
Then it happened. The white hair, his red eyes crossed, spikey knotted dreads covering his head with an extremely white face. His gums were pink when he smiled with crooked greyish yellow teeth and he stood in the middle of the street with very busy oncoming traffic in both directions, just staring at me. He just stopped dead in his tracks, and a bone cold chill went up my spine. I knew he was evil from the time I saw him. I watched him intently, and stopped falling behind my escort which was a dangerous thing to do. I just looked at him. He was trying to reach me, through the traffic. I was not afraid in the least. It was as if we had a contest on who could stare the longest at each other. Then his face contorted into a shape that was not natural. His face was overcome by a Cheshire grin. I knew I was looking at a fallen angel, someone from the depths of hell. I do not believe that this was in deed a person but an evil entity. I was not in the least going to back down. I never did. Instead he stopped. Just stopped. Then he was gone.
I have seen both sides..I have nothing left to fear if I am an honest loving person.
I am powerless over my own life. I am not in control. Once I realized this, it gets easier, simpler. Material items don't matter anymore. The art of giving, the gift of it, to be able to give without wanting anything in return is what God wants us to do. To be able to love and give it away in acts of kindness for others,
Powerlessness doesn't feel so good does it? It's a feeling that can send a wave of fear into our bones. What will be the outcome? What do you mean we don't have control or power over others, especially the ones we seem to love? We raised our children in the way we thought that was in our own minds, the right way, the right way to do things, treat people or how to live, based on our moral and ethical values we were introduced to but that doesn't mean we need impose our power over others, only share our knowledge. Power and knowledge need not impose its sanctions onto each other but rather live apart. You may have the power to impact a life or the knowledge to share to effect change but never should the two interact because when they do, they can cause chaos, conflict, and ultimately powerlessness the inflictor will feel which leads to feelings of despair, and deep seated feelings of anger and resentment that we put upon ourselves.

Facebook is at the center of a controversy that has quietly gone on for years.
Political consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica recently made headlines for harvesting data from 50 million Facebook users for a political campaign.
However, the mining of personal data, unbeknownst to the user, is common practice for tech companies, according to Carl Miller, research director at the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media.
While the European Union has already drafted strict parameters for the storing and sharing of data, the conversation of regulating data has only begun in the United States.
WikiTribune is brainstorming on how to report on the future of "Your Data." Add your ideas below.
WikiProjects we've started
- EXPLAINER/TIMELINE: How companies have historically collected, hoarded and sold people's data.
- REPORT: Which countries has Cambridge Analytica operated in.
- REPORT: What other companies, besides Cambridge Analytica, do data-driven political consultancy?
- ANALYSIS: How Facebook collects and shares your data?
- Link to your story
Story ideas and questions to explore
- Are companies that take data-protection seriously more likely to operate out of Europe?
- Why do people accept terms and conditions knowing their data may be compromised or shared?

A collection of poems by Brittany Cavallaro
The poems in Brittany Cavallaro's Girl-King are whispered from behind a series of masks, those of victim and aggressor, nineteenth-century madame and reluctant magician's girl, of truck-stop Persephone and frustrated Tudor scholar. This "expanse of girls, expanding still" chase each other through history, disappearing in an Illinois cornfield only to re-emerge on the dissection table of a Scottish artist-anatomist. But these poems are not just interested in historical narrative: they peer, too, at the past's marginalia, at its "blank pages" as well as its "scrawls and dashes." Always, they return to "the dark, indelicate question" of power and sexuality, of who can rule the "city where no one is from." These girls search for the connection between "alive and will stay that way," between each dying star and the emptiness that can collapse everything.
