Richard Nixon: "There's a Jewish Cabal"
Richard Nixon knew of the illegitimate power of the Jewish establishment, but nevertheless was forced to do its bidding in most important policy areas.
by Timothy Noah
OUR STORY begins on the afternoon of July 3, 1971. We join President Richard Nixon as he is talking to White House aide Charles Colson. Nixon and Colson [who had been discussing anti-administration activities in the Bureau of Labor Statistics] had the following exchange (according to a July 3, 1971, tape widely publicized on its release by the National Archives in 1999):
Nixon: Well, listen, are they all Jews over there?
Colson: Every one of them. Well, a couple of exceptions.
Nixon: See my point?
Colson: You know goddamn well they're out to kill us.
Also that day, Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman, had the following conversation (this, too, is from the July 3, 1971, tape that was released in 1999):
Nixon: Now, point: [Fred] Malek is not Jewish.
Haldeman: No.
Nixon: All right, I want a look at any sensitive areas around where Jews are involved, Bob. See, the Jews are all through the government, and we have got to get in those areas. We've got to get a man in charge who is not Jewish to control the Jewish … do you understand?
Haldeman: I sure do.
Nixon: The government is full of Jews. Second, most Jews are disloyal. You know what I mean? You have a [White House Counsel Leonard] Garment and a [National Security Adviser Henry] Kissinger and, frankly, a [White House speechwriter William] Safire, and, by God, they're exceptions. But Bob, generally speaking, you can't trust the bastards. They turn on you. Am I wrong or right?
Haldeman: Their whole orientation is against you. In this administration, anyway. And they are smart. They have the ability to do what they want to do—which—is to hurt us.
Three weeks pass. It is now the morning of July 24, 1971, and Nixon, fulminating about Daniel Ellsberg and the New York Times and administration leaks, finds his thoughts drifting back to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What follows is from a second new Miller Center transcription (click here and scroll to the bottom):
Nixon: One other thing I want to know. Colson made an interesting study of the BLS crew. He found out of the 21—you remember he said last time—16 were Democrats. No, he told me in the car, 16 were registered Democrats, one was a registered Republican [inaudible] well, there may have been 23. And four were Declined to States. Now that doesn't surprise me in BLS. The point that he did not get into that I want to know, Bob, how many were Jews? Out of the 23 in the BLS, would you get me that?
Haldeman: [White House deputy assistant] Alex [Butterfield] is getting it.
Nixon: There's a Jewish cabal, you know, running through this, working with people like [Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur F.] Burns and the rest. And they all—they all only talk to Jews. Now, but there it is. But there's the BLS staff. Now how the hell do you ever expect us to get anything from that staff, the raw data, let alone what the poor guys have to say [inaudible] that isn't gonna be loaded against us? You understand?
Haldeman: Is Alex working on that?
Ehrlichman: Malek.
Nixon: Oh, Malek is. Oh.
Unidentified Person: [whispering] I'll get this to you today….
Two days later, on July 26, Haldeman sends a memo to Malek. "What's the status of your analysis of the BLS; specifically of the 21 key people?" Haldeman writes. "What is their demographic breakdown?"
Malek answers in a memo the following day. Out of 50 names on the organization chart, Malek has run down the party affiliations of 35. Twenty-five are Democrats, one is a Republican, and nine are either independents, not registered, or of unknown party affiliation. "In addition," Malek writes (someone—presumably either Haldeman or Nixon himself—has underlined this sentence), "13 out of the 35 fit the other demographic criterion that was discussed." Scribbled beneath this (I'm guessing by Haldeman) are the words, "Most of these are at the top."

[…] most Jews are disloyal… [G]enerally speaking, you can't trust the bastards." ~ President Richard Nixon, July 3, […]
I've never forgotten the Nixon-Malek affair, because the article below single-handedly alerted me to Jewish power, something I had been completely unaware of until then. "Reprehensible." "Foul, foul!" The excessiveness amazed me!
Jews are by nature a cabal; they probably were trying to undermine Nixon. The obvious question was, "Why is it okay to count the heads of all other groups (quotas), but unforgivably anti-semitic to even notice Jews? The haughty Jewish demand for apology astounded me. It hadn't yet become as revoltingly familiar as it is today. This was the first item I ever cut out of the paper to save, for what, I didn't know. It was the first of hundreds.
Robert L. Turner in the Boston Globe – November 1991
It was just over 20 years ago that Frederic V. Malek wrote a memo based on a "demographic criterion" and sent it to his boss, President Nixon. Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough. Now Pres. Bush has named Malek his campaign manager, and the story needs to be told, one more time at least.
Malek's memo listed the Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nixon thought a "Jewish cabal" at the BLS was trying to undermine him. Harold Goldstein, then director of current employment analysis at the bureau, told reporters that unemployment figures were "mixed" at the same time the administration was sayingthey were "heartening." Nixon ordered Malek, his personnel chief, to find out how many of the top officials in the agency were Jews. Malek did it.
In a memo dated July 27, 1971, Malek wrote that 13 of 35 top officials in the BLS fit the "demographic criterion that was discussed." Before the year was out, Goldstein and another official on Malek's list were transferred out of the agency. None of this came to light until 9/88 when The Washington Post discovered the memos in the Nixon archives. Malek, fresh from the job of coordinating the New orleans convention for Bush, had just been awarded the job of deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee. The day after the Post's account appeared, Malek resigned.
The story disappeared almost as fast as Malek. Bush insisted at the time that Malek was not anti-Semitic, and Art Buchwald wrote a column saying of course that was true: Nixon wouldn't give that kind of job to an anti-Semite. But there was little fallout. Michael Dukakis, who disliked negative campaigning, let the issue die quietly. Even now, two of the major books on the 1988 campaign — those by Paul Taylor of the Post and by Jack Germond and Jules Witcover — contain no mention of Malek at all.
Yet the whole business left a sour taste. Even people willing to forget an event from the past were upset in 1988 that neither Malek nor Bush admitted error or apologized. Malek said he was only following Nixon's orders in 1971 — as if that was an excuse for so reprehensible an act — and was resigning in 1988 only to avoid diverting attention from Bush's campaign. Bush called Malek "a most honorable man without a trace of bigotry in his makeup." Now, with Malek's elevation to a senior position in his reelection campaign, Bush should face the issue squarely.
I do not know Fred Malek; if we have ever met, I don't remember it. Republicans in Washington have varying opinions of him, some praising his managerial ability (he was a successful businessman for the Marriott Corp. and Northwest Airlines), while others question his decisiveness and his ability to work with people. He may, at this point, not have a prejudiced bone in his body, and may in fact have an elevated sensitivity to such issues. But what he did 20 years ago is one of the most disgusting, repugnant things an American can do, and it cannot be sloughed off as ancient history — at least not while he and Bush continue to pretend nothing happened.
Bush went out of his way last week to slam David Duke as a candidate of bigotry and hate, yet Fred Malek will carry at least the vestiges of bigotry and hate to the command center of his own campaign unless, at a minimum, they exorcise the demon by acknowledging it. After 20 years, Malek may be forgiven. But what he did was a foul, foul thing. It cannot be forgotten.
Why the selective shouting of racism? Jews are disporportionately in high power positions. They also classifed themselves as 'white' to hide this disproportion.
When there are two groups, one embraching multiculturalism and the other using multiculturalism as a weapon to take out the more tolerant side, it's a war.
Nixon may have been the last independent president. AIPAC is the most powerful lobby and the high rates of immigration to the West is a unilateral move that Jewish multiculturalism promotes. Does Israel practice multiculturalism?
I pray for a new Martin Luther King in the 21st century. One that will travel to Israel and will bring about civil rights and equality there. As a jew, I think this is necessary.
Not sure what that has to do with your tribe's role in destroying President Nixon, Mr. Burrell, but good luck with your prayer.
"Dick Nixon before he dicks you" was the joke back in the early 1970s. That phrase can be seen in a new light with the book that was just released this summer: The Real Watergate Scandal: Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot That Brought Nixon Down by Geoff Shepard.
View Mr. Shepard's eye-opening C-SPAN BOOKTV talk here: http://www.c-span.org/video/?327683-1/geoff-shepard-real-watergate-scandal The Watergate Judge John Serica and his anti-Nixon accomplices, mostly Democrats, some being Jews, are skewered as crooked, secret plotters who used illegal, criminal means to remove a sitting POTUS because they didn't like him.

[Sir William Knighton, Private Secretary to George IV.] Autograph Letter Signed ('W Knighton'), praising the 'Merits' of the unnamed recipient, and reporting the king's complete satisfaction with his actions.
3pp, 12mp. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with short closed tear at gutter. Folded three times. Having received the unnamed recipient's letter at Horndean that morning, he writes that there is no reason why he should not 'take to morrow Week, in place of to morrow, as I know it will be equally convenient to His Majesty'. The recipient's 'own Merits' are his 'Recommendation', and 'His Majesty is quite satisfied with all You have done, as well as the manner in which you have done it.' Knighton had a close relationship with the king: he was instrumental in clearing his enormous debts within three years (1822-1825), and was addressed by him in correspondence as 'M[y] D[ear] F[riend]'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

Should peer-reviewed climate research be freely available to anyone? Can you, as an author, boost your citations by doing so?
Climate research spans across disciplines and can have profound implications for policy formulation and socio-economics. Despite that, only a fraction of the peer-reviewed research is freely available to all stakeholders outside academia.
Climate and earth scientists are invited to learn how to make their research accessible to stakeholders & society, by boosting their own visibility, use of their research, and gaining more citations.

Vacation... Long Version: Chapter Three
Chapter 3: Monday September 9, 2013
Since we slept early the night before, I ended up waking up at…drum-roll please…5:30am. At least it's an improvement from the day before.
Today was the day that we were going to visit the touristic attractions in NYC. We had several places listed down, and split over two days. We did a smart thing where we bought the New York city pass that allows us to visit over 80 attractions with the price of the pass only. The price of the pass depends on the number of days the pass is valid for. We bought the 2 days pass, as all the attractions we wanted to see were split over two days. The price of the pass was cheaper than the price of admission tickets to all the attractions; and we could visit as many attractions as we want and can!
So that morning we called the city pass headquarters and asked them where can we buy the pass if we didn't want to get it online. The asked us to come to their offices and we can get it from there.
Our first stop in NYC was the city pass headquarters on 42nd street, between 5th and 6th avenues. After getting the passes, we were ready for our first official touristic stop…Madame Tussauds! The pass really helped us in skipping long lines and had special queues for pass holders.
Madame Tussauds was fun; we took pictures with many celebrities and famous figures, both alive and dead. We had so much fun posing for pictures with our favorite celebrities…and I got to punch Justin Bieber's wax figure! There was a part that the museum, sort of a haunted house…we were told that the people inside were real…I took a look at the first creepy looking monster and that was it. I put my hoodie over my head, almost covering my eyes, and I grabbed N, and walked really fast without really seeing anything… but we were screaming the entire way!
Our next stop was Top of The Rock. We went up a high speed glass ceiling elevator until we reached the observation deck. The view from the top was amazing. I have previously seen Manhattan from the Empire State building, but this was different. The view was amazing!
Getting a bit hungry, we decided to have lunch at TGI Fridays before continuing to our next stop.
Next came the MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art. I'm actually still wondering where the pieces of art are…unless you call a blank canvas art, then that's a different story. There were so many weird stuff inside, including a fan hanging from a ceiling (I really don't know how this is considered art), blank canvases with only a colored border, a completely blank canvas, a coke bottle, and a few chairs among other things. I discovered I am not into modern art….or any art for that matter =P
The next adventure we were going to take was a thrilling boat ride called The Beast. We walked up to Pier 83 on the west end of 42nd street, only to find out that we missed the last boat…by 1 minute! The salesperson at the counter informed us that there was a cruise at 7pm if we were interested…so we got our tickets and waited until it was time to board. N and I were sitting and talking about our next stop, which was going to be the Empire State building. We were going to do that after the cruise….
It was time to board, and when we got onto the ship I turned to N and asked her how long was this cruise…I guess neither of us asked before we boarded…luckily the tour guide on the ship, who was both informative and funny, informed everyone that the tour was for 2 hours…so from 7 until 9pm, and since we already purchased the train return ticket (valid only for that day), we had to cancel our stop to the Empire State building and the sky ride for that night and reschedule it for the next day.
The cruise was amazing! The ship went all around Manhattan, and at sunset, so we got to see the city magically light up at night with the most amazing colors. Each building was lit up, and the Empire State building itself was lit in blue, green and yellow. We passed under Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge, got to see Brooklyn, and the gorgeous Manhattan skyline at night. I can never get enough of Manhattan…I simply love it!
After the cruise we went back home to South Amboy to sleep, as we had another full day in NYC ahead of us…with more fun adventures!
Stay tuned!

It's Christmas Time!
Well ok not quiet yet but with two weddings to attend and the presents only half knitted I need to think Christmassy. Also I wanted to try and get all the hard graft for The Little Book of Festive Poetry sorted. I was going to leave the audio version until next year but I've built momentum on the project now and Jean loves it so much… and with the weekend disappointment I need to keep it going or I think I would just give it up.
So this morning I composed a song whilst baby snuggling and recorded whilst she napped. Here it is
The Little Books are going out there into the void of the internet and as physical objects to share but the reason they exist at all is for Jean and latter Mary once she appeared. I need to finish recording the poems, edit the story and record that and add some slay bells and then the album will be ready I may even have a little looky at producing some merchandise for it via the bandcamp site (I think they do a POD type thing and my Cafe Press Shop).
The Little Books are covered more on Orange Monster which is my Childrens books and Illustrations blog.

Mission Statement
To empower Indigenous youth to thrive, through education and transformative art of dance.
Outside Looking In has now extended our program, offering not only to First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities, but also to Indigenous organizations and friendship centres that are looking to engage their youth in a higher level of learning.
Outside Looking In requires all participating communities to implement at least one OLI course into their school calendar to provide an additional and creative method to support academic success for youth. Upon successful completion of the OLI program students earn at least one high school credit. OLI provides professional guidance to select, plan, provide resources, and design assessment tools that are tailor made to fit the desired outcomes and educational philosophy of the community, while at the same time ensuring the integrity of the credit as intended and approved by the Ministry of Education.
Outside Looking In hires the industry's top dancers and choreographers to work with our Indigenous youth in the area of mainstream urban dance. These professionals travel monthly to the community/organization/friendship centre where they instruct youth with new and interesting choreography each visit.
Outside Looking In provides the opportunity to youth and their communities to take control of their destiny through our program and with help from the OLI staff. Through the participation of the volunteers who run the program in each community, and with youth taking a lead role to remain active in the program, OLI helps facilitate the process from start to finish to ensure the program is successful. The community, youth, and everyone – families, teachers, Elders, leaders – who choose to become involved, become a part of the amazing journey and share the overall success and feeling of accomplishment.
Life Skills
Outside Looking In teaches the importance of transferable life skills. Through our program, youth learn the importance of:
- Time management – when agreeing to the attendance policies in school classes and rehearsals;
- Accountability – when taking full responsibility for their actions in the program;
- Responsibility – when committing themselves to other peers in a group environment;
- Dedication – when learning to put forth their best efforts day in and day out in all aspects of the OLI program;
- Perseverance – when working through the daily ups and downs of life, learning how to overcome challenges, while still being able to manage time and be accountable, responsible and dedicated.

I've decided to learn and share about my two passions. Design and living a greener life. I know the term green has become a cliche but bare with me. Look beyond the word and to its meaning. I grew up just on the outer edge of the hippie movement. There was an indescribable feeling during that time in America. While I can't explain it, I can still feel it today when I hear a particular Led Zeppelin, Joplin or Moody Blues tune on the airwaves. The music reflected the strong desire for a change towards caring about one another and our planet. So yes, I'm a tree hugger from way back!
My past is a part of me, making my goal as a designer to create positive messages to be placed into the world and to not clutter it up needlessly. I'm on a mission to be a green or eco-conscious designer. As I discover information around green design options, I'd like to share them with you. Since I believe being socially conscious is a way of life, I'll also be sharing some products I've discovered and use daily. And, of course we'll be looking at the design behind the brands.

Excellent flooring for the price, definately recommended.
Review by HENRY GRIFFITHS (Posted on Monday 09 April, 2012)
Both the quality of service and the product itself were beyond 'good'; they were excellent! Our requirements were more complex than most because we needed a combination of engineered wood, carpet and vinyl. The products are all high quality and they were layed by fitters who were very careful to keep disruption to the minimum; even to the extent of making friends with our two lively dogs. We are extremely pleased with the high quality of work. Einar kept an expert eye on proceedings and his knowledge and experience ensured that we were able to make informed decisions.

Dear Einar I would like to thank you for the brilliant job that you carried out in our house. The oak wood flooring has transformed the downstairs by opening up the whole space and making it look much bigger. The through lines of the timber also makes it feel a lot 'cleaner' and sharper. I particularly like the way you were so meticulous in laying the floor - no squeaks! - and the finishing off detailing is very important to me. I like the trim you put around the edges, and especially the round wooden trim around the radiator pipes - a nice touch. The whole job was carried out very professionally with a minimum of disturbance or fuss, and I also appreciated the way you cleaned up after yourself each day. So - thank you for an excellent job really well done, and the icing on the cake was the excellent deal on the oak timber - we could not have done it for that price anywhere else. We love our floor and are so pleased that it has been laid so well - it gives us pleasure every day to see a job so well done. Rollo

So, for the past couple of days, I've been having a pretty interesting discussion with one of my dearest friends a propos the concept of "namaz," or in other words, prayer, and how my friend believes that it's the defining line between a Muslim and a non-Muslim. He also argued that because Muslims bow down during prayer, this further proves that Muslims are indubitably worshipping Allah, as compared to their non-Muslim counterparts. I, of course, disagreed; and because my responses were exhaustive, I feel that they are relevant enough to share on my blog.
While it's blatantly true that namaz/prayer is the main pillar of Islam, per se, I don't necessarily agree that it is a "defining line" between a Muslim and a non-Muslim. And why, you may perhaps ask? Well, because non-Muslims have their own religions too; non-Muslims could be Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, or Jewish. They, too, pray to God and offer "namaz," which of course may not be performed in the same way as Muslims. Their namaz may be offered in a different patois, different recitations, different postures, and perhaps even be performed on any number of occasions, on specific days.
Further, the word "namaz" is simply the Urdu equivalent for prayer. And "salaat" is the Arabic equivalent for prayer. So, it's erroneous to say that namaz is fundamentally exclusive to Islam and Muslims. And while it's true that namaz involves "bowing down to ONE Allah," does that then imply that non-Muslims such as Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc. don't worship God as well? Of course, Hindus have many *representations* of God, but that doesn't mean that they don't believe in God, per se. And as I stated earlier, non-Muslims, who believe in a sole deity, have distinct ways of praying, which includes chanting, meditation, or clasping of the hands together with the head bent down in prayer. So, one does not necessarily *have* to bow down in order to prove that s/he is worshipping God. Worshipping God can be done in a plethora of different ways, and is not only limited to the physical ambit, i.e. bowing. A person may even worship God through songs, dance (dancing dervishes), or even just spiritually, by cleansing their soul of evil sins. Moreover, the way in which Muslims pray has undoubtedly evolved since the inception of Islam, a little over 1400 years ago. And if we read up on the history, we will surely notice how their prayers are very similar to that of Jews, Christians, Pagans, etc. who were present in the region, during that time. And here's some proof from the Bible to further illustrate this fact:
~ Deuteronomy 5:6-9: I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
7. Thou shalt have none other gods before Me.
8. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
9. Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them nor serve them…
~ Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
(Note that both bowing and kneeling are mentioned in Psalm 95:6 – the very order in which Muslims perform them.)
~ Revelations 7:11-12 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.
~ Numbers 20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.
And then here's a verse from the Qur'an, with the exact same wordings as those in the Bible:
~ Holy Qur'an 2:45: And be steadfast in prayer; practice regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who bow down.
Furthermore, my dear friend also argued that non-Muslims worship, but they don't worship "Allah." Of course, once again, I disagreed with his argument simply because "God" and "Allah" are one and the same. Allah is simply the standard Arabic equivalent for it. (Of course, if one delves deeper into the historical origins of the name "Allah," they will come to realize that it dates as far back as Pre-Islamic Arabia.) Anyway, the same goes for the word "Khuda," it also means God, so if one says that they believe in Khuda, does that necessarily imply that s/he doesn't believe in Allah? How is that logical? One needs to understand that all religions, particularly Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believe in the same oneness of a supposedly supreme deity. And while Christians call Allah, "God," or "Father of Heaven," Jews, on the other hand, call Allah, "Yahwah." But, how does that make it distinct from the Allah that Muslims worship? Does it make sense that just because non-Muslims address Allah with a different name, that they MUST believe in a completely different deity than the one that Muslims believe in? Of course not! So, yeah, if someone were to ask me whether Christians worship Allah, I'd say yes they certainly do! If s/he then asked me whether Jews believe in Allah, I'd again say yes they certainly do! The only difference (and I am now reiterating) is simply that they have a different TERM for Allah, but that doesn't mean that they don't believe in the same oneness of an all-mighty deity.
In all three Abrahamic religions, prayer is considered to be a test of peoples' humility. A woman or man may pray loudly and at great length publicly (in a church, mosque, or synagogue), or simply do it in the privacy of her/his home, on her/his knees. And it would really make no difference to me; none whatsoever. For it doesn't really matter HOW one prays, because at the end of that day, they are ALL trying to achieve the same result — that ONE goal — which is to worship Allah/God/Yahwah.
Anyway, I, personally, believe that in order to understand this complex phenomenon, one will first have to define what it means to WORSHIP. To others, it may perhaps be limited to Muslims praying by bowing or doing "sajda," (in a specific language); but to me, worshipping/praying entails much, much more than that. I don't like to place limits on such dogmas, for religion is *supposed* to be a very personal thing; it varies from person to person and of course from religion to religion. Who are we to say that just because non-Muslims are not praying according to the Muslim way, that they are not praying or worshipping God at all? I mean is there any proof for this? Most likely there is not. At the end of the day, all one can do is either accept differences or simply agree to disagree.

Despite the insanity that is my life in May (or maybe, as a coping mechanism, because of it) I finished a new record of books last month. Every single one would have been noteworthy in a different month, so narrowing down the top two or three is difficult. But, we can do hard things, right? So for this month's Modern Mrs. Darcy Quick Lit link up I give you the very best of what I read in May (and some brief words about the rest).
First, the line up:
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown
Be Frank with Me by Julia Clairborne Johnson
At Home in the World by Tsh Oxenrider
Anne of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney
One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Hamilton the Revolution by Lin Manuel-Miranda and Jermey McCarter
El Deafo by CeeCee Bell
Dreamland Burning by Jennifer Latham
At Home in the World is Tsh Oxenrider's second book, but my first encounter with her writing. I've been listening to her podcast for a little while now and through the blogging world I knew that she and her family had taken a year long trip around the world (and lived to tell the tale!) This book is just that tale. I honestly hesitated to read it. I've got some hardcore wanderlust right now and I was worried a book about a fantastic adventure globe trotting with three children would make me a little bitter. I found it to be the exact opposite. Oxenrider writes very honestly about the tension that exists between her adventure seeking traveler spirit and the root longing homebody that also lives in her. She writes beautifully about all the amazing benefits of traveling like that with her family while also acknowledging that it is not perfect and it is not real life. There were very real challenges that came with that experience, ones that were worth it, but challenges all the same. This book made me start planning doable adventures my family could do now, and also appreciate the regular, everyday home life we've created for ourselves at the same time. It was a quick read, a thought-provoking read, and I highly recommend it!
I heard about the premise of One True Loves described as "basically the story of Cast Away only he comes back before she gets married." I would add that it's also told from the "Helen Hunt" point of view, as opposed to Tom Hanks. Emma marries her high school sweetheart Jesse who disappears in a helicopter accident on their first wedding anniversary. She returns home to put her life back together and ends up falling for an old acquaintance, Sam. A few months before their wedding Jesse returns and Emma is left with a bit of a dilemma. This was a page turner and I think I finished it in about three days, but I was surprised by how torn I was by her situation. Reid does a good job of making it an impossible situation for all parties. Based on the premise alone I assumed I would be rooting for the story to go one way, but Reid reveals the complexity of love, loyalty and death. This one is a good summer read.
So, El Deafo. This book wrecked me. I am obviously very invested in this topic, the story of a young girl who goes deaf at age 4 due to a bout with meningitis, and her subsequent years living in the hearing world with hearing aids, not quite in but not quite out. This is CeeCee Bell's true story, written in graphic novel form. Liam and I read it together and I don't have enough space here to fully convey how great of an experience it was. Bell's goal with this memoir was to express how it felt to be deaf in the 70's in a hearing world. And man, did she do a great job. It opened up so many conversations for us, giving him some language and concrete stories to help him describe his experience. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to parents of kids with hearing loss (and the kids themselves!).
Dreamland Burning is my read of the month I think (which says a lot 'cause this was a heck of a month). This is technically a YA, but I think it's a great read for all ages. Set in Tulsa, OK the book flips back and forth between present day and 1921 in the days leading up to the Tulsa race riots. I knew nothing about this tragic event in history, so everything about it was eye opening. In 1921 the thriving African American community of Greenwood was burned to the ground by rioting whites. There's a mystery involving the discovery of a dead body that connects both storylines, as well as the reality of racism that may not have lessened as much as we'd like to believe from 1921 to present day. This one stuck with me and I've recommended it more than once since finishing it.
The Gifts of Imperfection is one of Brene Brown's earlier books. It's a short, quick read that I'll probably return to again, as it's a good reminder of the importance of leaning into vulnerability and honesty. I picked up Be Frank With Me on a whim, to check of the "book you picked solely for the cover" category in my reading challenge. I really loved it and the endearing character of the little boy Frank will stay with me for a while. I'm making my way through the Anne of Green Gables series, reading the second book, Anne of Avonlea. Anne is a little older and a little wiser but just as charming. Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk was our book club pick this month and I was super delighted with it. Lillian Boxfish is another endearing character and the book follows her as she walks the streets of Manhattan on New Year's Eve, 1985 reflecting on her life and career as the highest paid female ad exec. That premise sounded stupid to me, but I promise it was really good! Finally Hamilton the Revolution is really only going to be interesting if you are Hamilton obsessed like me. It's basically the book of lyrics from Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical interspersed wth stories of how the show came to life and the players that made it happen. The real gem for me were the many footnotes Miranda added to the lyrics pointing out the different easter eggs he'd created or giving background on particular references or lines. I'm a theater nerd and I hardcore love Hamilton so naturally this was right up my alley.
That's what I've got this month, friends! Have you read anything good this month?

The glossy pages of most teen magazines feature articles on dating, celebrities' jaunts to and from rehab, and the latest miniskirt trend--topics of little relevance to girls who grow up practicing Islam, which frowns upon such things.
But inside Muslim Girl magazine, a bimonthly that debuted in January, readers will not find headlines like "Guys: Decode His IMs" or "585 Sexy New Looks." Rather, it profiles professional women like BBC broadcast journalist Mishal Husain, shows off models sporting cute-yet-conservative clothes and offers specialized advice, such as how to deal with a crush in a culture that looks down on dating.
Started by Ausma Khan, a former lawyer who taught international human rights law at Northwestern University, Muslim Girl is aimed at 12- to 19-year-olds.
"I wanted to provide girls with an alternative to Cosmo Girl! and Seventeen, where they would see fun stories about popular culture but ... also provide guidance and information to boost their self-esteem, develop their self-confidence," said Khan, who lives in Evanston. "We wanted to tell the stories of real American Muslims."

Presentation Slides
Our objective is to create a memorable presentation where the audience receive and retain the message that we set out to deliver.
Ultimately the content, structure and flow of our presentation and its interest and relevance to our audience will determine whether we meet our objective, however the content and look of each slide is an important part of supporting your presentation.
Here are a couple of Hints & Tips to help you create great supporting slides.
An audience is more likely to understand and retain information if it is presented in small logical chunks. The slides are there to support the commentary from the presenter and should display the structure and key points being made and not try to include every spoken word in the slide.
The slide below probably contains too much information either to be read by the audience or to be retained.
Utilizing a good key word driven hierarchical mapping structure and supplementing with appropriate images will help the audience engage and retain the information.
Here is the same map showing only the structure and keywords of the presentation;
And here we take that a stage further and present an index first before focusing in on each sub section, adding appropriate images for each.
Without changing your selection in the map, select Add Slide (Don't Switch) again.
When you 'Switch View' to the presentation view, you will have two slides with the same web part on them. However, you are then able to expand / collapse these web parts independently on each slide.

Railcar Finegoods Supreme Hold Pomade Review
Video review above or here: http://youtu.be/c4_XgqBrR_4
I think it's been at least a year since we've last looked at Railcar Finegoods, but when my Spikes X001 were due for their annual repair, I took advantage of the moment and hit up Steven Dang to set up this review. In the pomade world, we know RFG for the amazing scent they have in their pomade, but the rest of the world knows about RFG for the craftsmanship that go into their jeans. They don't make anything flashy. Instead, all of their work is hidden in the subtle details and only discernible by the trained eye. Also, it's always nice to have an internationally-renown denim workshop nearby to stop in and get measured for a custom pair.
This is the foundation of the company we're looking at. Solid. And today, we'll be looking at their latest pomade release which is the Railcar Finegoods Supreme Hold Water-Based Hair Dressing. We'll call it RFG Supreme Pomade for short.
This is a gel-pomade. I know I introduced the terms orthodox and unorthodox water-based to the community a year back, but I'd like to shift over to a more applicable set of terms. Water-based pomades, today, refer to the new set of products that perform almost identically to oil-based pomades but happen to have water as the primary ingredient. They don't necessarily need to wash out. Gel-pomades represent the products that we once referred to as water-based pomades such as Layrite, Suavecito, and Admiral. They are a hybrid between gels and pomade. They provide instant hold and eventually harden.
RFG has gone through a rebranding. In all honesty, I liked their original branding. It has an aura of nostalgia about it that truly encapsulates (what I interpret to be) the spirit of Railcar Finegoods. Nevertheless, this is not to say they have lost their touch. The design work is still on point. With this jar, we're looking a clean 4 oz. clear-glass jar with paper labeling and a printed cap. The label has been reformatted to follow in line with the new modern logo, and it looks professional -- good kerning, altering fonts in the right places, and the eye naturally moves where it needs to.
We've all been chasing after the perfect cologne scent for pomades. It's possible to put that scent in pomade, but to put a TRUE cologne scent in would literally throw the price of pomade off the charts. So, what we end up with is cheap-smelling products like Suavecito. However, Railcar Finegoods pomades have been the closest to matching the complexity of cologne. The smell is a fresh and floral one at first, but it follows up with a long and dragged out kick. It is truly the best-smelling gel-pomade we've ever seen.
It's like a half way between Admiral and Suavecito. So, instead of being straight-up like some jam or a brittle Jell-O, it's an easy-to-scoop-goop.
Despite being described as a supreme hold pomade, it is very easy to apply to hair. Literally, no discomfort at all. And actually, it's probably important to make this distinction here and now. Words used to describe a pomade's hold like firm, strong, and heavy say, or at least, SHOULD say something different about the product's hold. For example, RFG Supreme Pomade is a medium-strong hold product, but it is light in feel. This lightness in overall feel leads to its ease of application.
The pomade has some shine at the beginning of the day. But as you'll see in the pictures, it fades throughout the day like any other gel-pomade.
When you first apply the product for the next 15-20 minutes, the wetness of the pomade will make it pretty slick. This is important because it makes styling with the pomade MUCH easier than with other gel-pomades on the market. The water will evaporate later on, and the product will dry. However, this initial wetness is crucial for styling.
It has good hold -- just a touch above the standard hold. It may be significantly different from the updated Standard Hold pomade by RFG; however, in comparison to the original when it literally just released, this product is only a touch stronger -- if even. The big difference is the strength-to-weight ratio. This pomade is much more efficient in regards to provide as much hold as possible with as little weight as possible. This is awesome because it provides a tall and light pompadour while minimizing the discomfort of a goopy and sticky gel-pomade.
The video will prove it. Good hold, initial slickness, and light feel makes styling a breeze.
RFG Supreme Pomade is far from impervious. I mean, if you load in a palm-full of product than yeah...it probably will. However, the advantage of this product is its high strength-to-weight and so, you'll end up styling with as little product as possible. This makes your pomp sensitive, but restyling is a choice with this one.
It's not perfect, but reactivating with water or additional pomade is reasonable. You hold onto about 50% of the hold, which is relatively better than maybe other gel-pomades. The best choice is to come back in with a lick of pomade because it recaptures all the lost product and reactivates it all into a new pomp. Also, the product doesn't harden into a rock like other low-end gel-pomades, so you can rework with fingers or comb.
It definitely hardens. I mean...it's a gel-pomade. You should know this by now.
Washes out completely, and doesn't dry the hair out as much as other low-end gel-pomades.
Overall, Railcar Finegoods Supreme Pomade receives my seal of approval -- not for its performance but rather, the refined characteristics of this pomade. With gel-pomades, we can almost predict the performance characteristics by just squishing the product between our fingertips. Performance doesn't change very much between labels. Instead, we then look at the scent, design, presentation, cost, and overall quality of the product. Supreme Pomade has the best scent out of any other gel-pomade we've experience and is one of the cleanest options available to us. Plus, the price ain't bad.

I poured my coffee and sat down at the table. It was New Year's Eve and one of those exceptionally rare (for me) leisurely mornings. As I opened my Bible, my mind was already looking forward, and I was asking God for a fresh foundation for 2016. Look what He did…
My Advent/Epiphany reading took me to Psalm 96.
Sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
Psalm 96:1-2a
My primary attitude
must be praise.
Three times the psalmist calls us to sing to the Lord, which is to praise him. It's the first, second, and third thing he says to do. There's no options from which to select, no choosing (A) or (B), no qualifiers such as, "Well, if you're having a good day, praise Him." No. My primary attitude must be praise. Feeling emotional? Praise Him. Searching for the right words? Praise Him. Utterly confused? Praise Him. Ready to take on the world? Praise Him. God is calling me to live so that my knee-jerk response in every situation and every moment is praise.
What is it that I am to sing? What should embody my praise? The Psalmist answers those questions in the next three lines.
Proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among all peoples.
Psalm 96:2b-3
Let's break this down structurally. The commands are to proclaim and declare (those are synonyms). That means talk about it. What do we talk about(the objects of the verbs, for you grammarians)? His salvation, His glory, His deeds. In Hebrew poetry, you don't have to take every line separately as it is written. We can clump those three together then clump the final phrase of each line together. Look at those phrases:
day after day – When? All the time.
among the nations – Where? Everywhere.
among all peoples – With whom? Everyone.
My purpose must be
So in plain, southern American English, we can say, "Talk about how God saves people, how amazing He is, and all He has done for me all the time, everywhere I go, with everyone I meet." It's a long sentence, but it's easy to understand. I want words about Him to be on the tip of my tongue (Psalm 66:16-17). I want my conversations to constantly center on Him (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). I'm "owning" this for my purpose, my way to live in 2016. I don't know all of what this means yet, but I do know that it requires a conscientiousness or intentionality about my moment-by-moment living and that God can never 'slip my mind.'
The Psalmist goes on to talk about what why we should do these things and how we should approach Him. You can just go read the rest of Psalm 96, but be ready for a private "glory spell" when you do. Who knows, you might even raise your hand right there in your living room! I did.
Anyway, in the Christ-life, we often talk about faith (i.e. who you are in Christ), and works (i.e., what you do for/with Christ). It's not enough to have one or the other. James said, Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead (2:17). Both of these aspects of the Christ-life are covered here. My faith attitude will be praise. When I think about Him, when I stand before Him in prayer, when I consider my life in any way, I start with praise. If someone were to ask me, "What are you about, Carole?" I will say that I am about praise. Then my works are to proclaim Him—talking and acting so that people come to understand His salvation, His glory, and His deeds.
2016: Praise Him. Proclaim Him.
Why do I share this with you? Well, for one thing, it was just really cool. I asked God to speak to me through His Word and He did—like, immediately. Secondly, sharing with you makes me accountable to actually live out this calling. Now I am less likely to lose this page in my journal and forget all about it. I want this perspective to sink all the way down into my worldview, into the foundations of how I think, not just what I think. That's why I used 'foundation' in the title. But also, this life perspective isn't exclusive to me. Can you put your finger on how He is calling you to live this year? If not, do these thoughts challenge you to make some adjustments in your life? I pray that they draw you further into Christ-likeness.
What verses is God using to challenge you or to grow you in this new year? Is He drawing you to these? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

Macs and Linux systems can download programmes now, too.
It's been a long time coming, but the multi-platform iPlayer is finally here. Yes folks, the one that works not only on windows XP and Vista, but also Mac OSX (10.5 and 10.4), Fedora Core 8, Ubuntu 7.10 and Open Suse 10.3. Feel free to crack open the champagne now.
Currently in Beta and available via the iPlayer Labs, the new download manager is built on Adobe's AIR platform which means that, in theory, any OS that supports that could be added to the list also supported by the iPlayer, eventually. A download manager that works on the Linux installs used by many netbooks would be pretty awesome, if you ask me.
Currently there are a few catches to using the new download manager, foremost of which is many programmes aren't actually working with it. However, that should improve over time – the new manager was only released yesterday after all. Doubtless some fusspots will criticise the use of DRM, too, but given this is free content I'm disinclined to agree.
The trial period for the new AIR-based download manager will last until, roughly, February next year (making a nice birthday present for me). If you're reading this on a Mac, I suggest you head over to the BBC Labs, enable the new download manager and get downloading!

Girl, let me tell you.
If it were not for my morning routine, I would not have the energy to be on top of my "A-game" for my husband, boys or my patients.
I need my early morning wake up to get dressed, brew my cup of coffee, and chug my water before leaving for the gym. And this might be a little too much info, but my bowels are now trained to have a bowel movement before I leave the house. Then I get in my car, sip my coffee and listen a podcast during my 18-20 minute commute to Burn Boot Camp. If for some reason I am unable to make it to a morning class, I will walk the treadmill in my basement or hit up an evening class.
I am obsessed with Burn Boot Camp and the way I feel afterwards, but mostly pumped about my tribe. The community of ladies are such a JOY to be around at the crack of dawn. It sounds crazy, like we are all crazy, haha, but everyone is cheering each person on and helping them do a little better than last time they came in. Most mornings I am in the class lifting weights or running cardio routines, while busting a move or singing a tune because girl, 90s and 2000s Hip Hop can't keep my body from finding a beat.
I get back in the car after jamming out to Salt-n-Pepa or Little Wayne and I am on FIRE! I am loving life, excited about my day, excited to see my boys and I listen to another podcast on the way home to KEEP me fired up for life.
When I get home, I am still on my endorphin high. I do my gratitude journaling, make my handsome hubby a coffee for the road, finish up lunches for my boys, and look at my schedule for the day/ check emails to see if anyone has rescheduled before I hop in the shower.
Now, I am by nature, a morning person. Always have been. The early bird gets the worm, right?!
My routine gives me exactly what I need to tackle my day with having my exercise, journaling and a little coffee and podcast time.
This use to feel like a chore, having to set my alarm and make myself go to the gym. I would hit snooze and then hate how I felt the rest of the day AFTER I missed my opportunity to work out. Now, after 60 days of getting up early, it is no biggie and I will not hit snooze because I don't want to feel anything but my best.
Do you have a morning routine? Have you shared your routine with a friend to keep you accountable? Do you have a workout buddy?
If not, think about that for a minute and think how you could implement that into your day. How would it improve your day? week? month?

A totally inaccurate statistic that I just made up tells us that 1 out of 4 brooklynites work either from home, a shared work space, or their own shop. We're a borough booming with hardworking entrepreneurs. It's all very exciting, but a not-so-bright aspect of what comes with the you're-on-your-own territory is to watch where your money goes carefully. There's usually a close inspection of expenses that we can possibly live without. And I'm not talking about almond croissants here. Those totally increase my productivity.
Most freelancers and business owners I know trust a dentist with their dental issues. They take their cars to the mechanic and pay a hair stylist to do their hair. We seek out professionals to do these things because they know what they're doing, and we'd be doing ourselves a disastrous favor if we tried to take care of those things on our own. However when it comes to their own work space, where they spend long hours every day, most of these people don't seem to care so much. An attempt at optimizing the space might include a trip to IKEA to get a file cabinet or some shopping around for a new inbox tray. Some peeps take an extra steps and add shelves and personal touches.
An organized work space tailored to your needs can change the way you work dramatically. Whether it's a shop where you make things and meet clients and do your billing and 38 other things, or a corner of your living room, the way the space is laid out and how it functions is key to make your life easier. And your work hours more productive. And your overall self happier. That's why you need to know Liz.
Liz Dahmen founded Make Space in 2010 to help people achieve the best solution for their work spaces. After working on residential and commercial spaces, Liz is now focusing solely on work spaces. I had the pleasure to talk to Liz about her business, her process, and some organizing tips.
You were a high school art teacher for several years. What made you decide to go on your own and start Make Space?
I could probably fill a book with the details of how I ended up choosing the entrepreneurial path, but I'll do everyone a favor and weed it down to just two major events that led me to start my company. The first and biggest nudge I got was from the school itself. Around November of 2009 the school told me that I would have to take on more hours in order to keep my benefits. With the imminent threat of my health insurance being taken away, I suddenly realized the degree to which I was staying there just for the benefits. I didn't want to take on more hours, and without benefits I just couldn't justify staying. The second sign came after I had decided to leave, but before I knew exactly what I was going to do. I was in a yoga class, pondering my future when the teacher's voice floated into my ears…she said something like, "make space between your shoulders," and those words hit me. That's what I wanted to do! I wanted to help people make space…both literally and figuratively. I thought it would be a great existence to help people make space for what they want in their lives. So that's how I got my company's name, and the driving force behind the development of the business.
Since you started, you have worked in very different projects, residential and commercial. Is there a project that you feel particularly proud of?
Last year I had an amazing time working on an office makeover for Curious Jane, a Brooklyn based company that designs and runs amazing after school and summer camp programs for girls. Their office was bright and airy, but the walls and furniture were of the beige variety. They had some pretty specific needs, like utilizing as much vertical storage as possible for their art and craft supplies, and having enough workstations for seasonal upswings in employees. Also, sometimes they hold workshops at the space, so it needed to be convertible- able to accommodate 10 girls making robots one day, and 4 employees on computers the next. Finally, we wanted to brand the space. If you came to the Curious Jane office, we wanted you to know, just by looking around, that that is where you were. So we chose colors and items that reflected the energy and style of the Curious Jane brand.
You are transitioning your business to focus on workspaces. What are the steps for a workspace makeover?
Pretty much everything starts with conducting a pretty comprehensive needs assessment. Wow! That sounds boring. But it's really not. Clients can get pretty passionate when they describe the things that frustrate them about their workspace. Often, I'm the first person they've shared this information with, so it can all come pouring out. Next, I try to really understand what is being accomplished in the space. For example, a boat-builder's workshop might seem to have one function, to build boats. But that's not necessarily true. Yes, there is the space that holds tools and supplies, but there's also the area where they call vendors and supply shops, and where they store invoices and receipts. I need to really understand what is actually happening in every square foot in order to really make sure we realize all the potential of the space. The steps from this point onward all depend on the type of project, how much the client wants to take on themselves, and the budget.
What is your favorite item on your desk?
My tote bag. When I'm not on my bicycle I use this bag to tote my supplies to and from jobs. It was the first object (besides business cards) I got with my company's name on it, so it has sentimental value. It also serves as a reminder… I see the words like an invitation. It's important to me that I "live the dream" so to speak. I can only provide clients with the highest level of service if I am taking care of myself. So I am constantly making sure I've made space to rest, to eat, to recharge, to get creative.
I'm on my third to-do app and not totally thrilled with it. Is there an app that helps you stay organized?
Ha! This is a hot topic these days, and I've been meaning to run a workshop on To-do apps and techniques. I'll tell you what I use, but I will preface it with my "different strokes for different folks" speech. In other words, I have this conversation about 3 times a week with clients and with every person we come up with a different solution. In many ways, it's not the app or the list or the color of the notebook, it's how you use it. That said, I use Remember The Milk both on my desktop and on my iphone and ipad to keep track of all the little to-do's. I use a wipe off board in my office for the 3-5 month goals, and I use a hand-written list that I call a "hot list" that I jot out every morning before turning on the email. My system isn't for everyone, but it works great for me.
You moved here from Seattle in 1996. You must know your coffee well! What's your favorite local coffee shop?
My favorite coffee purveyor is actually Gimme Coffee. While they are originally from Ithaca, I discovered them when I lived in Williamsburg. Lately, however I've been really spoiled because the coffee flows free at my office space, The Brooklyn Creative League and we just started using Crop To Cup, which is delicious.

Sturgis Consultation Center, with mental health counselors Sara Sue Schaeffer and Donald Amidon, recently quadrupled its staff size.
Sturgis Consultation Center, with mental health counselors Sara Sue Schaeffer and Donald Amidon, recently quadrupled its staff size.
Joining the group are Drew Colberg, BrieAnna Daugherty, Heather Huber and Sarah Webb.
This staff-expansion is a result of the Affordable Health Care Act, Schaeffer said. It allows for medical care and mental/behavioral health care to work for the holistic good of the individual. As a result, patients are able to receive more comprehensive care, she said.
Under the act, clients won't be stamped with a "mentally ill" diagnosis to receive counseling, she said.
The four additional therapists are familiar with each other and with Schaeffer. All were part of her supervision group, required for higher levels of licensing. Several also hold contracts with other local medical entities.
Drew Colberg
Colberg, 26, of Three Rivers, joined in October. His passion is working one-on-one with clients walking with them through their personal growth and change.
Colberg said his approach to therapy is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory, and existential therapy. CBT helps identify long-standing thinking and behavior patterns that result in negative experiences and barriers to goals, he said.
Colberg is working closely with Schaeffer to establish an integrated counseling connection with solo health providers. They will provide training for physicians to understand what is allowed, billing and provide counselors as needed.
Qualifications: Limited licensed professional counselor; limited licensed marriage and family therapist.
Experience: Provided therapy for the severely and persistently mentally ill population in Detroit.
Specialty: Marriage, couple, family therapy and multicultural counseling of a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
BrieAnna Daugherty
Daugherty, 34, of Kalamazoo, joined in November.
This group also allows for her to spend more time at home with family, she said.
Daugherty's counseling philosophy is from an existential perspective.
"I truly believe all individuals need a sense of belonging and purpose in order to feel successful and happy in their lives," she said. "My hope is to help clients realize their purpose and belonging, and along the way find their own happiness, success and healthy living no matter their age."
Daugherty also has contracts with the Sturgis Public Schools health clinic and with Sturgis Pediatrics.
Qualifications: Licensed professional counselor, national certified counselor, infant family specialist level 2; Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health.
Experience: Crisis Center manager and Kids Help Line & Teen Link, program director at the Crisis Center, Birmingham, Ala.; Children's and Infant Mental Health Therapist, Community Mental Health of St. Joseph County
Specialties: Children's counseling and infant mental health.
Heather Huber
Huber, 39, of Kalamazoo, came on board in late October.
Huber believes in a compassionate and healing counseling relationship, in which clients are able to identify the wounds and confront the resulting negative thought processes.
"They can become aware of the truth about themselves as valuable, important, significant individuals capable of giving and receiving love and achieving their goals," Huber said. "As a therapist, I am extremely honored to be a part of this growth and healing process with clients."
Huber will also be filling in for Daugherty who will soon be on maternity leave.
Specialty: Working with different types of people through issues, including women with relationship and boundary concerns. Those facing anxiety and depression, grief and loss; work and career concerns; transitional issues, and premarital and couples counseling.
Sarah Webb
Webb, 40, of Schoolcraft, was the first among the new staff members at Sturgis Consultation in September 2014.
"It is an honor to join this group practice and work with such diversely skilled counselors," she said.
"I often use strategies from Cognitive Behavioral therapy," Webb said. "I use motivational interview to engage my client's experience. It is a passion of mine to be very authentic, genuinely present."
Webb also holds contracts to work with Dr. John Buonocore of the Sturgis Hospital Pain Management Center; with adult drug court and with Swift and Serve, a court involved substance abuse and criminal thinking program
Qualification: Licensed professional counselor.
Experience: Substance abuse and addiction therapy.
Specialty: Certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor.

Re: How do I setup alerts to send text messages?Fodome Aug 25, 2009 12:21 PM (in response to Kml57)
Hello Kml57,
The answer to your question depends on the type of modem you have.
-If you have a regular a modem that is plugged into a phone line, you will want to use the SMS Text Pager: TAP or UCP (depending on your geographical location and provider) Action. This Alert Action will dial into your service provider's SMS gateway and send it a message that will be relayed to your cell phone. The number to dial should be provided by your provider.
-If you have a GSM Modem (not plugged into a phone line) you will want to use the SMS Text Pager: GSM Action which dials directly to your cell phone and provides you a text message.
More on both Actions is available on page 183 of the ipMonitor Administrator Guide here:
For a list of Gateway numbers, the following page may help:
Hope this helps.
