Techniques and Issues in Abuse-Focused Therapy with Children & Adolescents: Addressing the Internal Trauma (Interpersonal Violence: The Practice Series)
How can therapists deal effectively with children or adolescents who have been sexually abused - but refuse to discuss their experiences? Working with such young people presents innumerable challenges for the therapist. In this book, Sandra Wieland describes `The Internalization Model , which provides a framework to help therapists understand the effects of sexual abuse on children s or adolescents internal sense of self and world, even when the child does not talk about the abuse. Ways of addressing and shifting these abuse-related internalizations within the therapy are described, together with specific techniques such as imaging, genograms and time-lines. Other topics explored include: sexuality; dissociation; and resistance by the c

Marcy Markusa: Who says Winnipeggers are whiners?
We've heard from a lot of families on the morning show over the past month about the woes of being waterless.
However, just when you might expect me to blog about their troubles, let me share with you how they have been rising to the occasion in responding to a situation that is very disrupting to daily life.
Now, before I go on, it is worth saying that I realize living without water is a first world problem.
That is the reason that I personally refuse to use the word "crisis" in my blog, but it doesn't diminish the fact the situation definitely calls for some serious coping skills and those skills are alive and well in the city. These people are troopers.
For example: I dare you not to love 73-year-old Doug Mackie with his tucked in denim shirt, shiny white hair and bright blue eyes.
Doug trudges through the snow to the Woodhaven Community Centre every day. That's where he does his dishes and then it's on to Centennial Pool for a shower.
Doug told me he has started to think of himself as a boy scout out in the "wilds" of St. James. He said he is channelling Winnie the Pooh in his simple response to the frozen pipe situation, "Oh bother."
Sure, his house is a little dirtier, and his laundry is piling up, but Doug Mackie refuses to let it get him down.
This week he passed day 20 without water, and he fully expects it will be mid-April before his taps are running.
And what about Pam Kirkpatrick and her family in Wolseley?
Her two kids, age six and eight, got sick during the family's 29 days without water.
Even the family cat became ill and actually ended up being put down.
Now, I will not elaborate except to say that things are messy enough when a young family gets sick, imagine dealing with the clean-up without water. At one point Pam got a temporary hook-up, then it failed and then a pipe in her basement burst and it flooded.
So you might expect she would take to the airwaves pulling out her unwashed hair but that wasn't the case.
Instead, when we put Pam on the radio, she reasonably expressed some frustration.
Then she simply said they were missing some family time in the evening because that's when they went to the homes of friends and family to use their water for the daily essentials.
Thursday morning they got their water back thanks to a homemade solution that thawed her pipes. Pam said they drew straws for the first shower.
There was a homeowner on King Edward Street who told us how he was picking up water jugs and delivering them to senior citizens who weren't able to do it for themselves.
There is a couple in the West End who patiently moved in with family members with their four-month-old baby and visited their house twice a day to feed their dog.
And then there was Elaine Lovatt in Fort Rouge. My colleague Christopher Read visited her after living two weeks without water.
Delightful Elaine, who hails originally from New Zealand, decided she would use the snow to her advantage.
Chris found her scooping the white stuff into a preserving pan from a snowbank on her property. Elaine told Chris, "I'm clearing my yard at the same time."
Now, if that's not a pioneering spirit, I don't know what is.
This has definitely been a frustrating time for people, but I think that it has also brought out a strength of character in many that I very much admire.
I've seen it before during blizzards, floods and mosquito season. It just goes to show that our prairie "can-do" attitude is alive and well in Winnipeg.

California Cities Crack Down on Water Use
With Drought's Impact Spreading, Inspectors Fan Out to Change Habits; Compliance Looks Widespread, Given Number of Brown Lawns
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The pain of California's three-year drought is spreading from its agricultural belt to urban lawns and backyards, where residents are being hit with fines for excess water use, and businesses such as golf courses and lawn care are seeing revenue dry up due to water restrictions.
About 60 California cities and agencies have imposed mandatory water-use cutbacks, some as high as 50%. In many cases, the rules are...

September vibe to April rout
Credit: John Wilcox
Earth, Wind & Fire once sang about September. And with a slight numerical alteration, the opening line to their 1978 hit could have served as the soundtrack to last night's horror show: "Do you remember, the 31st night of September?"
The Red Sox have suffered some jaw-dropping defeats this year, but last night's 18-3 loss to the Rangers was the first that actually felt like the despair we witnessed seven months ago.
Jon Lester pitched like dung. After an early deficit, the majority of the team collectively flipped the switch to "lifeless." Errors of virtually every type — mental, baserunning, defensive — dotted the performance like acne. The fans booed.
Oh, and Mark Melancon could very well be ruined already.
Welcome to the lowest low early in a season that's featuring too many of them.
"I can't describe this one," said manager Bobby Valentine in an incongruously apt summation.
One day after Valentine's critique of Kevin Youkilis reverberated throughout the clubhouse, the Red Sox gave their new skipper a glimpse into what life was like during the final days of his predecessor.
Was it a mere blip or the start of something more? Only time will tell.
"What is there to say?" second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "It was just one of those days."
That's now two straight losses since Valentine criticized Youkilis' desire, Pedroia fired back, and all hell broke loose. Last night's squad appeared particularly out of sorts.
Was the team's mood impacted by the tumultuous 24 hours?
"No, no, no," Pedroia said. "Don't even try to start that."
The two players at the center of Monday's controversy reacted in polar opposite fashions. Pedroia backed up his very public rebuke of Valentine by homering and making a diving stop at second when it was still a game.
Youkilis, meanwhile, gave plenty of ammunition to those who believe Valentine was entirely justified in singling out his poor start by whiffing four times and making a pair of misplays in the field. That didn't stop the fans from chanting, "YOUKKKK!" before his first at-bat or when he stabbed a foul ball, but the reality is he looked lost. Again.
He said before the game that he has put Valentine's criticism behind him, and he left without speaking to reporters after.
While his teammates wish Valentine had kept his opinions out of the press, they're not about to blame that decision for last night.
"I can't say that it has an effect," said catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who hit the ball hard four times but still fell to .083. "Playing in Boston, you get a lot of stuff. You kind of get used to it. Now, on the other hand, you want your manager to have your back. I don't know exactly what happened, but I know Youk speaks for himself. He busts his ass. Everyone knows that.
"That was over and done with when it was said. And we've moved on as far as I'm concerned. It bothered Youk at the time, he said his peace, Pedey said his peace, and it's done and over with. This is a good team. We'll end up getting closer and bonding more."
While Valentine is, has been, and will always be a lightning rod, games like last night's fall squarely on the players.
Valentine has actually done his part to put them in a position to succeed, quickly sorting out a bullpen that lost its closer on the eve of the opener, sticking with Alfredo Aceves after a couple of rough outings, and showing confidence in Daniel Bard.
Calling out Youkilis was a misstep that sowed clubhouse dissension, but just because players are mad at the manager doesn't mean they're entitled to lie down for him.
That's the kind of behavior that came to define last September, but this team insists it's different. Now would be a good time to prove it, and nip this in the bud before things get out of hand.

Yep its

Becca, yes plz go to the ER immediately if you have those symptoms, as that is not common for a UTI, but it sounds more like a kidney infection, which can be very dangerous
prengancy. I have had recurrent UTI's throughout this

. I took a home
test about 3 weeks later that came back negative. I ignored it from then on out. But then last month my period was a breeze, it lasted only 3 days or so and no cramps or anything.

Having a period means you are shedding the lining of your uterus. So I would say, it's not normal nor possible. Some bleeding can be considered within normal limits and so can some types of cramps. If you feel like this is a REAL period, and the bleeding and cramping are plentiful, I would suggest contacting your OB for a check. How far along are you?

) but those 5 months I got chronic lower back pain
my periods. No pain
with him. After I had him, I went back on the pill for about a year and then what do you know, came off it to try for a second baby and the pain came back. MAJORLY. Finally saw a gynaecologist who said he thinks I have Endo and that either the pill, pregnancy or laparoscopic surgery will reduce it. That was 6 months ago. I also miscarried before I saw that doctor at 4.5weeks too.

It's very common to have spotting in

Referring to your post regarding A/Fib and bloated
, I too have had the same experience. I believe it is a mechanical effect in that the
inflates the intestine which in turn pushes on the vagus nerve or the bottom of the heart and triggers the A/F episode. The sensation is located under the left rib cage not in the chest. I can also induce A/F by swallowing something very cold on an empty stomach. This freaks out the nerve and the A/F proceeds.

My husband & doctor (dh is a pharmacist) believe it or not let me take Gas-X for my bloating as that seemed to help me but I was severly constipated too which was part of the problem. The indigestion & bloating are both very normal during pregnancy - you could try the above OTC & you could also ask about taking Tums. It's a mild antacid. There's also eating small meals - don't eat a whole lot at one time, try 7-up or Ginger-ale & soda crackers.

Not condoning the use of any substance
but if my Dr. says it is ok I trust her. I have three healthy children. Sometimes the use of medications is safer then the stress that severe pain could put on the expecting mother. Bet you are a first timer. Blessings to all.

In our area, that program will be launched at 3:15 p.m. today at Penobscot Nation Boys & Girls Club, 12 Wabanaki Way, Indian Island.
According to the release, food "will be prepared and served to demonstrate the type of food available" from the food bank, Glenn wrote.
Programs in Lewiston and Westbrook will be launched later in the year.
The program was made possible "through generous donations from Shaw's Supermarkets and the New England Patriots football team," Glenn said.

There is a lot of knowledge here, but no one seems to have answered porsches' question (although somewhat restated by Apot). If the last letter of the initialism is "S" and stands for a plural such as "services," does one show possession following the initialism with a single apostrophe or apostrophe S?

The recent New Jersey law [PDF] condoning sports betting at the state's casinos and racetracks has sparked much debate about the integrity of sports and the law's constitutionality. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) has been in effect since 1992, alleging even through its name that gambling is harmful to all sports. PASPA prohibits government entities from sponsoring or allowing others to sponsor sports "betting, gambling, or wagering scheme[s]."
This does not apply to all government entities, however. The act grandfathers in those states which had allowed sports gambling between 1976 and 1990 or those states which had conducted sports gambling operations between September 1, 1989, and October 2, 1991. The final entity exception allows for gambling that was authorized within a year of the act's effective date and conducted in state-operated casinos which existed for ten years prior to that effective date. These three exceptions effectively exempted Oregon, Delaware, Montana and Nevada from the PASPA ban. New Jersey would also have been an exception to the law if it had enacted a sports wagering law within the given window. Atlantic City has long been a casino hot spot, and that exception was passed with New Jersey specifically in mind.
However, New Jersey did not act within that time and did not pass any sports gambling laws until this year. Governor Chris Christie, searching for new revenue sources for the state, signed the Sports Gambling Law in January. He acknowledged that this defied PASPA and challenged anyone who wished to deter him: "If someone wants to stop us, then let them try to stop us ... am I expecting there may be legal action taken against us to try to prevent it? Yes, but I have every confidence we're going to be successful."
In August, Christie's challenge was accepted New Jersey was sued by five major sports governing bodies, each alleging the state's new law violates PASPA and harms the integrity of sporting events. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Hockey League (NHL) collectively filed suit in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey in Trenton. The organizations are concerned that with more gambling outlets, more corruption and game fixing will occur. The NCAA in particular is concerned that their young athletes are especially susceptible to point shaving or other fixing schemes, and legalized sports gambling will exacerbate the negative influences that surround them. The organizations also believe that with fewer gambling opportunities, teenagers and other likely gambling addicts will be kept away from temptation.
Christie had previously stated that his state would not explicitly challenge the constitutionality of PASPA. Yet through the recent filing against them, NCAA v. Christie, New Jersey has the opportunity to defend its own actions by challenging the act's legitimacy. Christie is leading the charge, after State Senator Raymond Lesniak failed in 2009 on a similar lawsuit due to procedural issues.
PASPA could be seen as unconstitutional in two ways: First, Congress may be found to have acted outside its 10th Amendment authority in regulating gambling activity. States are given any power that is not expressly delegated to the federal government or expressly denied to the states by the Constitution. Gambling fits neither of these categories, and thus, state gambling proponents aver that only states can regulate gambling activity.
This is further strengthened by the fact that, since Internet gambling will remain illegal in New Jersey, the entire gambling transaction would take place within the state. Congress, with some exceptions, has the right to regulate only interstate, not intrastate, commerce. However, since gambling has a significant effect on interstate commerce, courts may disregard this part of the argument.
The second argument against PASPA is its disparate state application. With certain states exempted from the act's prohibitions, there is likely discriminatory treatment at hand. Some scholars argue that the Commerce Clause requires uniform state treatment. However, there are US Supreme Court decisions that currently refute that reading. State gambling proponents will essentially have to ask the court to read the uniformity requirement back into this clause in order to succeed on this line of reasoning.
Perhaps the most convincing argument is not a constitutional one, but a practical one. Allowing states to host sports gambling operations will provide a revenue source that many states desperately need. Reuters and The Huffington Post reported in 2011 that the combined state debt in the US was between $2 and $4 trillion. California leads the pack, with a 2011 debt of between $300 and $600 billion.
The American Gaming Association (AGA) reported that $2.88 billion was wagered in Nevada alone on sports in 2011.These bets provided revenue of $140.7 million for Nevada's sports books. Revenue-hungry states like New Jersey could benefit from the taxes on these bets and gambling's typical side effects, such as increased tourism and employment demand. The AGA estimates that legal sports gambling attracts upwards of 30 million visitors to Nevada each year and employs thousands of people. The federal government should encourage state revenue-producing activities to relieve the heavy burden that state need places on the federal government.
It is also foreseeable that the illegal sports gambling which now occurs, at a rate of around $380 billion in wagers per year, would decrease if there were more legal sports gambling outlets. Not everyone can travel to Nevada to place a wager on March Madness, but it is the only state with legal college sports betting. Delaware is currently the sole East Coast city that offers any sports betting, and it is limited to NFL parlay betting. Perhaps now that New Jersey allows sports gambling, those gamblers tempted to bet illegally will instead be inclined to participate in legal opportunities.
The argument that this will harm sport's integrity is a tenuous one. With five states already allowed to sponsor sports wagers, the damage is either already done or does not exist. An increase in state-sponsored sports gambling does not logically increase the harm: either people bet on the games or they do not. It is clear that those who wish to bet illegally will find ways to do it regardless of federal laws. Christie acknowledged this dichotomy: "[W]hy is this more injurious than illegal sports gambling to the operations of the league or the NCAA?"
While Congress and the current Plaintiffs argue that increased state gambling will lead to increased fixed games, the opposite has anecdotally proven true. One article points out that many major point-shaving or inside-information scandals have been exposed by bookkeepers that have a strong financial interest in gambling integrity. When gambling is state-regulated, those states can also regulate who is gambling, and thus keep out underage or addicted gamblers.
This case provides an interesting forum for both constitutional scholars and sports fans alike. With the ever-controversial NCAA on one side and the highly-visible political figure Christie on the other, it promises to bring excitement to the New Jersey courts. As Lesniak said regarding the suit: "[L]et the games begin."

TV shows are getting hotter and hotter!
Gone are the days where we had to stream shows on-line because they were too sexy to be aired on television! Nowadays, many series are providing us with enough steam to think twice about watching them with our parents. Here's a list of TV shows that are currently running and are way too hot for the small screen.
The Affair
The title itself is enough to know that there will be a lot of action in it. And it's not exclusive to the two people having the affair only, but everyone seems to be doing it! Prepare yourself for a couple of sex scenes in EACH episode and make sure to turn down the volume!
This show pretty much revolves around Olivia Pope having some sexy time with either Fitz or Jake. Whoever team you decide to be on, Olivia is definitely the winner here!
Pretty Little Liars
This show might be on top of the chick-flick category! With all the frustration throughout the 6 seasons to solve the never ending mystery, we also had our share of racy scenes and hot hookups!
These were definitely some of the hottest shows on TV today! Watch at your own risk, and we don't recommend them on a plane or during family movie night!
This show has everything. A good plot, talented actors, great music and a lot of SEX! From Cookie to Jamal to Becky, everyone is getting their share.
Orange is the New Black
One of OITNB's themes is the role of sex in a women's prison, and they made sure it was pretty obvious through many steamy shower scenes!
Game of Thrones
They might be breaking our hearts by killing all of our favourite characters, but they're also raising our heartbeats with all the sexy scenes!
How to Get Away with Murder

ok so this b**** seriously said this...*adding pics even though it's late
My friend makes cakes from her home. They are cute but not the best cakes ever either. She knows. Well a girl i went to college with (kris) wanted her to do a cake for her. I told her to message her and she'd give her a great deal. By great i meant like 50-60 bucks.
Well my friend talked to her a bit and she said she seemed like she didn't want to pay for the cake or at least not much at all. She decided to charge her $20 (for a three tier cake Minnie mouse theme). Then kris messaged her again and said she wanted another smash cake for the baby. Two tiers and decorated and she'd pay $25 total for both.
My friend was excited to do her cake and said ok. She told her straight up she's not professional. She does it on the side. Kris said not a problem.
Well Kris came to my house today to pick up the cake. Admittedly it's not the best cake. It does look like the pics though. But the Minnie mouse head was off a little. Not horrible but not great. Id still pay for it bc the other two cakes were great. And huge. She pays. She says she likes them etc.
Well i get home from grocery shopping and she has posted all over her fb that the cakes are terrible. She wants a refund and the list goes on. I'm peeved bc she was rude about it but i call her. I try to sort it out as a friend.
I tell her i will buy her dd a cake at Walmart for $25. She said ok. Then i say but you need to trade me. No she won't trade. She wants that cake. Huh?
I say ok ill give you $25 for the cake and you buy what you want instead. No she wants $25 and the cake. Um huh? You HATE the cake but you want to keep? Yes.
Then she changes it up and says to bring her $10 and she'll keep the cakes. So I'm paying her to keep thus cake? No. And she lives two towns over. She said she's too broke to drive...but she also said she brought a tip but didn't think the cakes were worth tipping for. If she has tip money she can drive to get $10 right? Seriously think she's coo coo bc she wants all her money back brought to her house and to keep the cake.
$5 smash cake
$20 two tier cake + minnie head, the minnie head was a little off. we all knew. but i really think the big cake under it is awesome.

Game size:
Shove It! The Warehouse Game is a top-down puzzle game based on the original gameplay of Soko-Ban Hiroyuki Imabayashi wrote for Thinking Rabbit. The player controls Stevedore, a warehouse keeper, from a top-down view. As shown on the title screen, shoving boxes will earn him money to make his dreams come true, a lovely girlfriend and a fiery red sports car.
The game consists of 16 stages with 10 rounds each. At a certain stage, any of the 10 rounds can be selected while playing but a new stage will only be opened up when all rounds have been successfully completed. To complete a round, Stevedore needs to push all boxes on the designated spots. This will turn them into a different colour. This is no easy task as the level design will obstruct many moves and cornered boxes can no longer be moved. While playing it is possible to restart the round, undo the last step and the game keeps track of the number of steps taken.
The game supports passwords and includes an edit mode where new levels can be designed and played.

Genuine analog Moog sound and capabilities made affordable.
Thanks to the Moog Slim Phatty, real Moog sound now fits your back pack and your budget. The Slim Phatty's 100% analog signal path, intuitive user interface, rugged construction and rich MIDI, USB, and Control Voltage functionality make it a must-have for producers, touring musicians and DJs.
At just 17" wide, it goes where no other Moog has gone before. Earth-shaking basses, scorching leads and more are now housed in a high-quality instrument ideal for laptop artists and space conscious musical road warriors.
Based on the powerful Little Phatty sound engine, the Slim Phatty is the latest descendant of the iconic Minimoog Model D and features the classic Moog Ladder Filter, the touchstone of analog sound design.
In addition to shaping the sound of its on-board oscillators, the Slim Phatty's filter is a valuable production tool that can be used to process external audio, sweetening your favorite audio source with everything from smooth analog warmth through wet, resonant filter sweeps.
The Slim Phatty's convenient size makes it an ideal voice expander for your existing gear, with two oscillators of massive Moog sound that are always just a MIDI cable away. A new Tuning Scale feature and editor allows easy exploration of alternate scales and tunings. Microtonal, just intonation, quarter-tone, world music scales and more make the Slim Phatty an international traveler. Good thing it has a universal power supply!
In addition to the world of MIDI and USB gear, the Slim Phatty's Control Voltage inputs give it unlimited realms of expression and sound design possibilities. "Modular synth" style patching with Moogerfooger effects processors, the CP-251 Control Voltage Processor and other Moog synths (even The Moog Guitar!) creates soundscapes previously available only on large modular systems. Connecting to the Etherwave Plus Control Voltage Theremin or the MP-201 Multi-Pedal adds unique and intuitive new modes of expression.

Comments about Moog Slim Phatty:
This is a great piece of Moog gear...especially if you already have a good MIDI controller/keyboard set-up and don't need the keys that go with the LP.The SP does run a little hot, but that is to be expected after running for a few hours, especially in such a small enclosure. Again, I think the Little Phatty has more value (simply because of the keys), but the Slim Phatty is a great, small alternative.

Comments about Moog Slim Phatty:
The third one of these worked great. The first two had the infamous stuck note problem after warming up. Quality control at Moog seems to be non existient. I had problems with several Moog Minitaur's also and eventually gave up on them. The reason i gave it 4 stars is because If you get hold of a working one they are very nice.I would be very hesitant to buy another Moog product again.

Comments about Moog Slim Phatty:
After receiving it and checking it out, I found that it is built well, well designed, and easy to use... Except where is the documentation --- if you don't use the editor. Does the editor have a liability with it... You can not produce music without paying royalities. I Do Not Do That... Check my past... I wait until The President calls me a dog on a another Kraft Music, Hall of Fame--NO, or another GRAMMY Celebration, writing me off--YES.. That's when they get it... the royalities. That is much better. It promotes Americian Policies and Politics, World Wide. It MUST be GOOD for the Ecomony. Just check that out yourself.
Now, on to the next part.
I use a Carbon 61 Midi Keyboard, it works Fine. And THEN I put either: Mod Tone - Chorus, V-Tone Acoustic, Behringer - Digital Reverb or V-Amp, to get the sounds I want from the Moog - SlimPhatty. You just connect them as you wish to the Audio Output of the Moog from the Input of the Guitar Fhplanger, and Chain Them is you Wish... on to the Ampliifier. This seems to work fairly well and provides a good selection of Noise (Sounds) for you. And what is Music... it's noise that you like. That's what I said way back them, 1964,1965.

On the northwesterly side of the Schenectady Works there may be observed several towers 67 feet high and 700 feet apart. Tracing the wires which these towers support in a northerly direction for a distance of 38 miles will lead one to Spiers Falls on the Hudson River about 10 miles from the village of Glens Falls.
At this point the Hudson River Power Company built a dam 115 feet in breadth, 22 feet thick and 1570 feet from shore to shore. The effective head on the water wheels is 80 feet and the available power varies from a minimum of 15,000 Kw. to a maximum of 25,000 or 30,000 Kw.
Ten penstocks, each 12 feet in diameter, enter the wheel house and feed the water wheels. The generators are of 2500 Kw. capacity and were furnished by the General Electric Company. They operate at 240 revolutions and furnish three-phase current at 10 cycles and 2000 volts which is stepped up by transformers to the line potential of 30,000 volts.
The Schenectady Works has contracted for 1875 Kw. at a flat rate for the entire twelve months of the year and all additional power required at a rate per kilowatt-hour, but from April to September inclusive 1875 Kw. additional is taken at a flat rate. The total amount of energy contracted for is 7500 Kw.
The energy is transmitted to Schenectady by two circuits, one of No. 0 and one of No. 000 wire, passing through switch houses at Saratoga and Alplaus, and entering the terminal house located on the canal bank in the rear of the Works' Power House. The terminal house is equipped with lightning arresters, Type H oil switches and metering apparatus and from it six conductors are carried across the street to the tower of the transformer house, where six step-down transformers reduce the pressure from 25,000 to 10,000 volts. The normal rating of this bank of transformers is 7500 Kw. and on them depends the supply of transmitted power for the Works and the Schenectady Railway Company.
From these transformers two underground cables conduct the energy to a switchboard in the old Power House, Building No. 13, for distribution.
In addition to the Power Plant at Spiers Falls the Hudson River Power Company now owns the power plant at Mechanicville, which was completed in 1898. The effective head at this plant is 16 feet. The power house contains seven 750 Kw., 12,000 volt, three-phase, 40 cycle generators, running at 114 revolutions. To provide for contingencies of low water or accident, two 500 H.P. water tube boilers and one 1000 H.P. tandem engine have been installed. The engine can be connected by rope drive to the nearest generator. Three circuits, each of No. 000 wires, leave the Mechanicvillc plant; two of them go to Watervliet and one to the Alplaus switch house so that energy can be fed in either direction from the latter circuit. One circuit of No. 0 wire runs from Watervliet to Lathams Corners where a sub-station of the Schenectady Railway is located.
Switch houses and sub-stations through which the trunk lines pass are equipped with lever switches so connected that any incoming line can be transferred to any outgoing line in case of trouble or repairs.
The following companies receive power from the generating plant at Spiers Falls:
- Schenectady Works of General Electric Company.
- United Traction Company (of Albany and Troy).
- Hudson Valley Traction Company.
- Albany Light Company.
- Troy Light Company.
- Watervliet Light Company.
- Glens Falls Light Company.
- Saratoga Gas, Electric Light & Power Company.
- Ballston Spa Light & Power Company.

I think this is worse than a logical inconsistency. It is that what the resource set formally says and how it is likely to be implemented don't match. Let's take a more plausible and controversial stance .... The Internet Freedom Example Coalition decide that they oppose all censorship on the web, and wish to undermine the work of ICRA and the others, which they perceive as censorship. So they set up their server so that http://internet.freedom.example.org/get-it?http://porn.example.com/ effectively gets http://porn.example.com/ (with a hidden server side redirect) so that it would be possible to see http://internet.freedom.example.org/get-it?http://porn.example.com/ as an alias for http://porn.example.com/ i.e. both URIs identify the same resource. However, in practice, most POWDER implementations will be unaware of this fact, and a resource set such as <ResourceSet> <excludeHosts>porn.example.com</excludeHosts> </ResourceSet> which, according to my reading of WDs, does, supposedly also exclude http://internet.freedom.example.org/get-it?http://porn.example.com/ would, operationally, not exclude. This divergenece between the effective operational semantics and the formal semantics strikes me as a 'bad thing'. Since we know that operationally a POWDER processor will work with URIs not resources, I feel that a formal definition in terms of URIs is likely to be closer to the day-to-day realities than one in terms of resources.

Another one makes the list – JM Cousteau
Picture: Sunset light on Mount Diablo, Contra Costa County, California.
It's a relatively short list; the number of famous people that I've had a chance to meet. But now I can add Jean-Michel Couteau to that list. This last Monday evening, I had a chance to meet Mr. Cousteau at a private reception prior to a lecture he was giving at the Lesher Regional Arts Center. It was a pleasure to meet him, and I was delighted to have him sign a couple personal copies of my California Coast Book, for which he had written the Foreword. The lecture included a number of video segments of his current work on the Amazon, and he stressed that we need to take better responsibility for the care of the earth's natural water systems. It was also the second Cousteau that I'd seen speak in person, having seen his dad, Jacques give a lecture many years ago at Berkeley's Greek Theater.
See more about Jean-Michel Cousteau and his work at his web site, Ocean Futures.
So why post a picture of Mount Diablo? Because it was thanks to several nice people at the non-profit, Save Mount Diablo that allowed me to attend their private reception, and thus meet Mr. Cousteau.
So, just for fun and curiosity, who have you met that was famous?

Queen of Quirk: Kate Bush
There are some days when I feel like no matter how much I accomplish, there is always a huge pile left on my plate taunting my efforts. As a grad student and all around multi-tasker, I'm noticing this feeling more and more frequently. The only way I can describe it is by referencing the Running Up That Hill music video. There's Kate Bush, desperately attempting and continuously failing to push her way through never ending sea of grey drones. I feel ya, Kate.
Enough about me, though. Kate Bush is amazing. It's like Stevie Nicks and Glenda the Good Witch had some kind of magnificent red-headed love child with the voice of a bizarre alien songbird. Perpetually gorgeous and perpetually pulling off things at which I would typically roll my eyes. Dramatic interpretive dance? Check. Floaty gowns and spandex? Check. Big, feathery bangs? Check. The first time I saw the video for Wuthering Heights, I spent hours... literally hours searching the internet for the perfect red chiffon maxi dress. It's as if the woman is made of magic. She's a fashion fairytale in and of herself, and I, for one, remain under her spell.

Soft to the Touch
A little look see at what will be coming to the shop this week:
Gorgeous camel colored cape. Adorable button down tweed skirt. Amazing plaid shirt dress.
I have to say, I spent quite some time moving them back and forth from my own closet to my Etsy rack. I've finally decided that it's time to part ways, and hope that they all find new loving arms in which to rest.
Be free, my lovelies!

Hair Beautiful Hair
The weather is getting colder, the air is getting drier, and in turn, my hair is looking duller and duller. For some reason, facts like this always seem to dawn on me in fluorescent lit fitting rooms, and I wind up with a spontaneous walk in appointment at whatever hair salon is nearby. "Take off as much as you need! Something has to happen with this! Work your magic!" is what I typically end up telling the stylist. I never really know what will happen, but this time I got what I believe is some really good advice:
Brush your hair before bed.
"Do what your grandmas and great-grandmas did, honey! Brush it every night before you go to bed. In fact, have your husband or boyfriend or girlfriend do it for you! Nice and shiny! Plus, it feels good, and that ain't bad."

Can't argue with that.
Brush your hair before bed.
That's right. Brush your hair. No, not 100 times. You don't have to go all Marsha Brady in front of the vanity, but in the frozen winter months, a good brushing goes a long way. Not only does it keep tangles at bay, it also brings the natural oils from your scalp down through your tresses to give those tired, dry ends a little pick-me-up. I may not have the science to back up this claim, but the older woman who had the future of my locks in her hands sounded pretty convincing. I'll leave you with her advice:
"Do what your grandmas and great-grandmas did, honey! Brush it every night before you go to bed. In fact, have your husband or boyfriend or girlfriend do it for you! Nice and shiny! Plus, it feels good, and that ain't bad."

MPD: Mother arrested for DWI with children
Published 4:30 pm, Monday, March 4, 2013
A Midland mother was arrested Saturday on charges of driving while intoxicated with her four children in the vehicle, according to her arrest affidavit.
Mary Amanda Zellers, 34, was released Sunday on a $25,000 bond for a state felony charge of driving while intoxicated with a child passenger under 15 years of age.
Midland police officers were dispatched to the intersection of North Midland Drive and West Loop 250 North at about 10 a.m. in reference to a possible intoxicated driver. An SUV was seen swerving in the eastbound lane of Loop 250, and the officers made contact with the driver, later identified as Zellers. There were four children in the SUV: ages 1, 4, 9 and 12, according to the arrest report.
Officers said Zeller's speech was slurred and that she had difficulty performing multiple tasks and standing. Zellers told officers she had taken two prescribed Xanax pills that morning, according to the report.
The officers conducted a field sobriety test, which they said she failed. She was taken to Midland Memorial Hospital for a blood alcohol test. She then was transported to the Midland County Detention Center, according to the report.
If convicted, Zellers could face up to two years in prison.

Jack London - Free Online Library
Jack London was born in San Francisco. He was deserted by his father, "Professor" William Henry Chaney, an itinerant astrologer, and raised in Oakland by his mother Flora Wellman, a music teacher and spiritualist. London's stepfather John London, whose surname he took, was a failed storekeeper. London's youth was marked by poverty. At the age of ten he became an avid reader, and borrowed books from the Oakland Public Library, where Ina Coolbirth recommended him the works of Flaubert, Tolstoy and other major novelists.

5 Signs of an Over-Scheduled Child (and What to do About it)
Frequent meltdowns and emotional outbursts are signs of trouble. Soccer, martial arts, scouting, band practice, gymnastics…is your child over-scheduled and stressed out?
Dr. Adelle Cadieux, pediatric psychologist at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., says children need a certain amount of down time to be healthy and happy. "Most kids need at least some quiet time every day to promote good and adequate sleep. A half hour to an hour of quiet activity before bed is ideal. That can be hard with a super busy schedule," says Dr. Cadieux.
It's unlikely your child is going to call a meeting to discuss the family schedule. The stress of an over-scheduled calendar is likely to show itself in other ways. Cadieux shares some signs of a stressed-out child with Care2.
5 Signs of an Over-Scheduled Child
1. "I don't feel good."
Your child has frequent headaches, stomachaches or general complaints about not feeling well.
2. Sleep Problems
Your child has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Some children react to stress by sleeping way more than usual.
3. Food Battles
Under stress, some children will turn to food for comfort. They'll eat excessively or be drawn to junk foods. Other children will lose their appetite. If your child seems to be making excuses for not eating, it may be a sign of stress.
4. Withdrawal
Your child is spending more time alone. He or she isn't interested in spending time with the family and may even withdraw from friends.
5. Irritable & Emotional
Your child has over-the-top reactions to little things that normally wouldn't be upsetting. Emotional outbursts are far too common.
To Quit or Not to Quit
When it comes to quitting, reasons matter. Children have different stresses than those of previous generations. Cadieux believes that this generation's involvement with electronic devices has created a type of immediate gratification expectation that you simply don't get in sports or most activities that require time and patience to acquire skills. You don't want them to quit activities because they're obsessing about performance or scores, because that won't help them learn how to overcome those anxieties or develop their skills.
On the other hand, if your family is dealing with overlapping schedules, overlapping sports seasons, multiple activities and meltdowns that happen on a regular basis, it's time to have a talk about priorities.
"When you don't have enough down time, you have to decide what you can give up for a while in order to enjoy the things you'll keep," says Cadieux.
How to De-stress Your Child's Life
Kids have a hard time telling parents there's a problem. It's up to parents, says Cadieux, to communicate with kids so they can be comfortable telling us what's going on. It's up to us to figure it out.
Sports and other group activities are generally a good thing, providing exercise and team-building skills that serve us well as we grow up. Just how much is too much, depends on the child. Cadieux points out that even within a family, children have different needs and tolerance levels.
If your child is exhibiting signs of stress, talk to him or her. If you don't get anywhere, talk to coaches, teachers, and friends' parents, so you can learn if these behaviors are obvious outside of the home. If you can't pinpoint over-scheduling as the problem, don't hesitate to take your child to the pediatrician or a licensed mental health practitioner. Negative self statements may be a sign that your child is struggling with something else.
"We can teach our kids how to cope by modeling good coping skills," says Cadieux. "We need to improve communication about stress and provide them with a way to calm themselves. Make sure you give them good, healthy food to eat, provide for adequate sleep time, and plan ahead how you're going to structure the week so everybody can get through it without a major meltdown."

The Atlanta Braves have reached an agreement with catcher Gerald Laird, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The deal is reportedly for two years according to Jon Heyman. Financial terms have yet to be disclosed.
Laird, 33, hit .282/.337/.374 with two home runs and 11 RBI in 191 plate appearances with the Tigers last season.
After losing backup catcher David Ross to the Red Sox, the Braves needed to find a steady backup to Brian McCann who had offseason shoulder surgery, and could miss the beginning of next season.
The 10-year veteran has played for the Rangers, Tigers and Cardinals in his career.

I wanted some color and spice to finish them off, so I made a little icing to pop in the middle.
dash of cinnamon
dash of ground red pepper
a couple of tablespoons of milk
red food coloring
Mix everything until you get the consistency you want for icing. Drizzle it on or pipe a big round circle on them. They were perfect.

Ossie Davis
"Art has a deep responsibility, social, cultural, and otherwise. And that the basic motivation for the creation of art is, in a sense, to meet those responsibilities. Now, it doesn't mean that you cannot express yourself in any way you want to, but it takes place in a social context, whether you mean it to do so or not."
About This Interview
In his over two-hour Archive interview, Ossie Davis (1917-2005) speaks of his early years as an actor starting out in the theater. He discusses his early television appearances on Showtime U.S.A.: "Green Pastures" (1951), Kraft Television Theatre: "The Emperor Jones" (1955), and CBS Television Workshop: "Brown Girl, Brownstones" (1960). He speaks of writing and starring in the play "Purlie Victorious" and its feature film adaptation. He discusses his many acting roles on stage, in the movies, and on television in such series as The Defenders, the Hallmark Hall of Fame, and Evening Shade and the miniseries King and Roots: The Next Generations. He also discusses his work as a film director, beginning with Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970). He speaks of his collaborations with his wife of many years Ruby Dee, including their radio show With Ossie and Ruby (1981-82). Harold Dow conducted the interview in New Rochelle, NY on October 26, 1999.

10 Best Movie Ghosts
We remember these 10 best movie ghosts as some of the prime choices in film apparitions. Movie ghosts have evolved from cheap backdrop images and poor lighting to the heightened range of graphics available to offer a three dimensional appeal. Prepare for the best movie ghosts, beginning with one of the scariest sets of horror movie ghosts ever to make it to the big screen.
The Juggernaut serial killer ghost from "Thir13en Ghosts" (also spelled "Thirteen Ghosts") shares a disturbing slice of insane junkyard horror. Post-will reading, a nephew, his family and intruders try to avoid his uncle's collection of ghosts after the glass fortress kicks in auto lockdown. The Juggernaut's ghost character stems from a sad story; he turned into serial killer after his mother and father's death. He died, prior to becoming the Juggernaut ghost, by shots from police.
Jack, portrayed by Griffin Dunne in "American Werewolf of London," falls victim from a werewolf attack and dies. Jack's ghost appears to his friend, David. Jack may be one of the most persistent, flesh-dropping visitors of all movie ghosts. Jack falls apart during the movie while assisting his friend's hairy situation.
The white demon, from 1982's "Poltergeist," remained in a graphics battle against an average family of four. This ghost is an evil, twisted grasshopper guard with blackened, empty insides. This scene comes when the mother seeks escape, but the ghostly creature tries to block her.
Sam in "Ghost," a 1990 classic starring Patrick Swayze, carries a story between a sexy ghost and his mortal woman, a wacky channeled fortune teller and a thief. Sam was one of Patrick Swayze's finest performances.
Ghost of Christmas Present in the 2009 "A Christmas Carol" decoratively offers a spin on things that lands Ebenezer Scrooge in lower places. Full of greenery and holiday cheer, the large Ghost of Christmas Present pulled the rug out from under Ebenezer's feet, literally, and let the bottom drop.
Smoking ghosts: A health risk in the afterlife? "Ghostbusters" presents all kinds of ghosts, including the ghost who could fit a box of cigars in his mouth. Watch this ghost fly by the next time in viewing the 1984 movie, which is guaranteed to break a smile.
Toshio, the ghost on "The Grudge," offers some frightful scenes for all cast members and one really pale kid. The creepy ghost has talent, too. Ever watch him go down a flight of stairs?
The well trapped ghost of "The Ring" needs to get out, but how? The main character tracks down the source of a strange video tape (connected to deaths) to the ghost in the well. The long-haired girl, always noted as the well dweller, will always mark one of the weirdest ghosts of this decade.
Twin girl ghosts from the "The Shining" crafted a new wave of eerie little girls. Creepy doesn't begin to describe these girls that appear out of nowhere.
Shoeless Joe Jackson in "Field of Dreams" caught more than a ball from another time, he captured a huge following after that performance. Shoeless Joe Jackson was the first ghost to be found on the field by the homeowners.

Itaú has agreed to pay R$ 710 million (approximately US$ 220 million) for the retail operations of Citibank in Brazil. The transaction was announced this morning. Citi primarily serves high-income customers and has 315,000 account holders in the country.
In the acquisition, Itaú acquired loan portfolio, credit cards, deposits, asset management, insurance brokerage and the 71 branches that Citi has today in the main regions of the country. That is R$ 35 billion in deposits and assets under management, 1.1 million credit cards issued and a credit portfolio of R$ 6 billion reais. After the acquisition, Itaú Unibanco will have R$ 1.404 trillion in assets.
The acquisition still needs to receive the approval of the Central Bank and CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense)
Citibank joins HSBC in retreating from Brazil. HSBC announced at the end of 2015 that it sold its Brazilian operations to Bradesco. In a deal already approved by anti-trust authorities, Bradesco acquired HSBC and brought their assets closer to Itaú, largest private-controlled bank in Brazil, by that metric. HSBC was a lot bigger than Citi in Brazil, but today's acquisition shows Itaú is not willing to let this largest label go.
Itaú has a 5-star rating from Easy Brazil Investing and continues to be a great way to play the Brazilian economic recovery.
