Meeting was called to order at 8:04 a.m. MST by Dr. Barney Greenspan.
The Board reviewed the minutes of December 6, 2007 and made some corrections. Ms. Ann Kirkwood moved to approve the minutes as amended. Seconded by Dr. Bill Arnold, motion carried.
Ms. Tana Cory followed up with information from the commission on uniformed state laws in regard to uniform emergency volunteer health protection practitioners. Ms. Cory presented the board with a draft that was in the process on how that would work. There are plans to introduce legislation in cooperation with the Bureau of Disaster Services in 2009.
Dr. Kracke joined the meeting via telephone.
Ms. Emily Mac Master presented consent order PSY-2008-4.
Dr. Kracke moved to accept the stipulation and consent order against PSY-2008-4 and authorize the chair to sign on behalf of the board. Seconded by Dr. Arnold, motion carried. Ms. Kirkwood recused herself.
Ms. Mac Master presented memorandum PSY 2008-5.
Dr. Arnold moved to close PSY 2008-5 at this time with regards to disciplinary action. Seconded by Ms. Kirkwood, motion carried. The board will discuss this matter with legal counsel to determine whether a letter can be sent.
Ms. Kirkwood moved to accept IBOL's recommendation for closure against complaint I-PSY-2005-11. Seconded by Dr. Ponsford, motion carried. Dr. Kracke recused himself.
Dr. Arnold moved to accept IBOL's recommendation for closure against complaint I-PSY-2005-12. Seconded by Ms. Kirkwood, motion carried.
Ms. Kirkwood moved to accept IBOL's recommendation for closure and send an advisory letter regarding the open door issue against complaint I-PSY-2006-1. Seconded by Dr. Arnold, motion carried.
The Board feels the open door policy is not good practice and may not be in the patient's best interest, but rather in the Psychologist's best interest. A general policy of leaving ones door opened during therapy is not prudent and runs the risk of violating a patient's confidentiality and violating the ethical standards.
Dr. Ponsford moved to enter into executive session under Idaho Code 67-2345 (1) (d), to consider records that are exempt from disclosure. Seconded by Dr. Arnold, motion carried. Individual vote for this motion was: Dr. Ponsford, aye; Dr. Arnold, aye; Ms. Kirkwood, aye; Dr. Kracke, aye.
Ms. Kirkwood moved to enter into regular session. Seconded by Dr. Ponsford, motion carried. Individual vote for this motion was: Dr. Ponsford, aye; Dr. Arnold, aye; Ms. Kirkwood, aye.
The Board reviewed a correspondence from Dr. Woody regarding service extenders. It is the Board's interpretation that a service extender may not be supervised by multiple psychologists under one supervisory plan. Each psychologist for whom the service extender works must submit a separate application and plan for approval by the Board.
Dr. Kracke joined via telephone.
The Board has serious concerns of the current use of PSR (psycho-social rehabilitation) providers and the fact they may be providing services outside their realm of expertise. The Board would like to see better regulation of these providers in order to protect the public.
The Board had a lengthy discussion regarding PSR. Joining the conversation were Dr. Eric Jones, Mr. Robert Payne and Mr. Scott Tiffany.
Dr. Ponsford moved to direct the Bureau Chief to contact the Division of Medicaid and other interested parties and set up a meeting to discuss the use of PSR's. Seconded by Dr. Arnold, motion carried.
The Board discussed Dr. Arnold's invitation to serve on the Clinical Psychology Advisory Committee for the ISU doctoral program.
Dr. Ponsford moved to allow Dr. Arnold to serve on the advisory committee for ISU solely as a board representative. Seconded by Ms. Kirkwood, motion carried.
Dr. Arnold moved to enter into executive session under Idaho Code 67-2345 (1) (d), to consider records that are exempt from disclosure. Seconded by Ms. Kirkwood, motion carried. Individual vote for this motion was: Dr. Ponsford, aye; Dr. Arnold, aye; Ms. Kirkwood, aye.
Ms. Kirkwood moved to enter into regular session. Seconded by Dr. Arnold, motion carried. Individual vote for this motion was: Dr. Ponsford, aye; Dr. Arnold, aye; Ms. Kirkwood, aye.
Ms. Kirkwood moved to direct counsel to prepare a letter in regards to memo 2008-5. Seconded by Dr. Ponsford, motion carried.
Dr. Arnold moved to approve Dr. Sandra Firth-Schlender for licensure based upon meeting all the requirements for licensure. Seconded by Dr. Ponsford, motion carried.

This project explored the institutional barriers and opportunities in achieving convergence of climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR), in the context of development, poverty and vulnerability reduction.
It did this by applying the Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management (CSDRM) approach as a process through which selected Indian institutions at varying scales examined their institutional constraints towards achieving integration of CCA and DRR, and identified how such barriers can be overcome by discovering news ways of working.
The Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management (CSDRM) approach has been previously developed through a consortium including IDS, Plan International and Christian Aid, working in ten Asian and African countries, including India. There is widespread interest in the approach, and the project contributed to demonstrating its potential effectiveness.
NGOs (Inter-cooperation and AIDMI and a local NGO called SWAD in Odisha) operating at local level in these States.
A particular interest, given the focus on Odisha and Bihar which are very vulnerable to cyclones, was how CSDRM could be used to improve the effectiveness of national and state guidelines for managing this particular hazard. (Read a summary of the conclusions in a Project Working Paper). In December 2013 a project workshop was organised in Delhi with the Vice-Chair of the National Disaster Management Authority where the specific issues related to the integrated approach to cyclone management were discussed. (See the resulting Policy Brief).
To understand effective integration, two important areas thought to act as barriers were be analyzed: the mismatched priorities of DRR institutions and those of ordinary people in hazard prone areas (see Study Report); and the need for diversified livelihoods as a means to reduce climate dependency and increase resilience (see Study Report).
The general outcome was enhanced capacity of the relevant institutions to understand the relations between work on DRR, climate change and development.
Read the Final Project Report of the project to learn more about the approach, and the results achieved.
A Special Edition of 'southasiadisasters.net' publication was produced on the CSDRM approach.
This short brief, Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management: In brief, explores how the Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management (CSDRM) approach provides a guide to strategic planning, programme development and policymaking and should be used to assess the effectiveness of existing DRM policies, projects and programmes in the context of a changing climate.
This project and publication, Ability of Local Multi-Stakeholder Action to Catalyze Shifts in Program and Policy Environment towards Mainstreaming DRR CCA, studies the effectiveness of Local Multi-Stakeholder Action as an enabling factor for mainstreaming DRR- CCA in post disaster programs and ultimately in state and national policies.
FEATURE: What have we learned about mainstreaming climate and disasters in Asia?
Katie Dietrich from START reflects on the key lessons that have emerged from the CDKN/ START research programme on climate-smart disaster risk management in South Asia.
Mihir Bhatt, CDKN's Senior Advisor in India, considers what we can learn about resilience from CDKN's South Asia research programme.
Sumana Bhattacharya, ICSD, India looks at how the disconnect between disaster management and climate change adaptation is posing a risk for development in India.

From #1 bestselling authors Preston & Child comes a thrilling novel following archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson as they work together to solve a twisted crime that reaches far beyond any of their worst fears.
Following the acclaimed debut of Old Bones, this second "happily anticipated" new thriller in Preston & Child's series features Nora Kelly, archaeologist at the Santa Fe Archeological Institute, and rookie FBI Agent Corrie Swanson, as they team up to solve a mystery that quickly escalates into nightmare (Booklist).
A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in the cellar of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico ghost town. Corrie is assigned what seems to her a throwaway case: to ID the body and determine cause of death. She brings archaeologist Nora Kelly to excavate the body and lend her expertise to the investigation, and together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets, with a rictus of horror frozen on his face.
Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th century Spanish gold cross of immense value.
When they at last identify the body -- and the bizarre cause of death -- Corrie and Nora open a door into a terrifying, secret world of ancient treasure and modern obsession: a world centered on arguably the most defining, frightening, and transformative moment in American history.
The Scorpion's Tail - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child Summary
Messier 7 or M7, also designated NGC 6475 and sometimes known as the Ptolemy Cluster, is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Scorpius. The cluster is easily detectable with the naked eye, close to the "stinger" of Scorpius. With a declination of −34.8°, it is the southernmost Messier object. M7 has been known since antiquity; it was first recorded by the 2nd-century Greek-Roman astronomer Ptolemy, who described it as a nebula in 130 AD. Italian astronomer Giovanni Batista Hodierna observed it before 1654 and counted 30 stars in it. In 1764, French astronomer Charles Messier catalogued the cluster as the seventh member in his list of comet-like objects. English astronomer John Herschel described it as "coarsely scattered clusters of stars".Telescopic observations of the cluster reveal about 80 stars within a field of view of 1.3° across. At the cluster's estimated distance of 980 light years this corresponds to an actual diameter of 25 light years. The tidal radius of the cluster is 40.1 ly (12.3 pc) and it has a combined mass of about 735 times the mass of the Sun. The age of the cluster is around 200 million years while the brightest member star is of magnitude 5.6. In terms of composition, the cluster contains a similar abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium as the Sun.On August 29, 2006, Messier 7 was used for first light image of the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) telescope on the Pluto-bound New Horizons spacecraft...

Sheffield Wednesday paid an emotional tribute to the late, great Ron Springett who passed away last week, aged 80, before their match against Fulham at Hillsborough.
A special matchday programme was produced featuring the former Owls goalkeeper on the front and before the game players and fans joined in, with a minute-long applause for the ex-England international.
Afterwards, head coach Carlos Carvalhal dedicated the 3-2 victory to Springett who made 384 appearances for Wednesday between 1958 and 1967.
In the matchday programme, fellow Hillsborough hero Mel Sterland said: "He's our most capped player to play for England, which is a fantastic achievement and I would have loved to have seen him play.
"Like every Wednesdayite I've heard stories as to just how good he was but I would have loved to have seen him play myself.
"He is a legend in every sense of the word."

A rapid assessment of bonded labour in hazardous industries in Pakistan: glass bangle-making, tanneries and construction
This paper examines labour arrangements and bonded labour in three hazardous industrial sectors in Pakistan: construction, glass bangle-making and tanneries. The research and analysis was undertaken by a team of researchers from the Collective for Social Science Research in Karachi. The same team also investigated domestic work and begging, the results of which are reported in another Working Paper.

The research and analysis was undertaken by a team of researchers from the Collective for Social Science Research in Karachi. The same team also investigated domestic work and begging, the results of which are reported in another Working Paper.
A rapid assessment of bonded labour in the carpet industry of Pakistan

Bonded Labour in agriculture: a rapid assessment in Punjab and North West frontier province, Pakistan
This Working Paper is one of a series of Rapid Assessments of bonded labour in Pakistan, each of which examines a different economic sector. Dr G. M. Arif, of the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) in Islamabad, is the author of this paper on bonded labour in the agriculture sector in Punjab and North West Frontier Province.
Bonded Labour in agriculture: a rapid assessment in Sindh and Balochistan, Pakistan
This Working Paper is one of a series of Rapid Assessments of bonded labour in Pakistan, each of which examines a different economic sector. The aim of these studies is to inform the implementation of the Government of Pakistan's National Policy and Plan of Action for the Abolition of Bonded Labour, adopted in 2001. Maliha Hussein and her collaborators were responsible for preparation of this paper on bonded labour in the agriculture sector in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. It should be read in conjunction with a companion paper that covers Punjab and North West Frontier Province.
Forced Labour: Definition, Indicators and Measurement
This paper represents a first step to estimate the global magnitude of forced labour. It describes the various forms of forced labour in existence, reviews available indicators of forced labour, summarises and discusses some methods that have been used for measurement, and provides some guidance for future work on the subject.
Pay equity, minimum wage and equality at work
Professor Jill Rubery was commissioned by the ILO to write this Working Paper, as an input for the preparation of the 2003 Global Report on the elimination of discrimination in the world of work2. The establishment of a floor to the wage structure is of paramount importance to groups of workers discriminated on grounds such as sex, ethnicity, national origin, age and disability, as these groups are disproportionately represented at the bottom of the occupational hierarchy. By identifying the role that minimum wages can play in reducing gender discrimination in pay, Jill Rubery's paper contributes to our understanding of the forms of labour market processes compatible with the promotion of non-discrimination, equality and decent work.
Normalised and disaggregated gaps in basic workers' rights
In a preceding working paper I put forward a concept and measurements of gaps in the basic labour rights of workers that are human rights – freedom of association and collective
Gender-based occupational segregation in the 1990's
The importance of occupational sex segregation as a form of discrimination is recognised in ILO Convention on Discrimination (Employment and Occupation), 1958 (No. 111). It is one of the most insidious aspects of gender inequality in the labour market, since it is generally accompanied by lower pay and worse working conditions in female occupations. It is also one of the most enduring aspects of labour markets around the world.
Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining: A study of Indonesian experience 1998-2003
Patrick Quinn served as the Chief Technical Adviser of an ILO project in Indonesia that sought to help trade unionists, inter alia, how to organize and administer workers' organizations and how to negotiate with employers – starting in the late 1990s when the Suharto regime first began to wobble and them fell in mid-1998, and continuing up to early 2003. He was therefore a privileged observer of the changes that occurred, well placed to report on developments. For that reason, I asked him to put black on white what he had seen and heard for the preparation of the ILO's forthcoming second global report on freedom of association and collective bargaining, which is due to be discussed at next June's International Labour Conference.
Equal Opportunities Practices and Enterprise Performance: An Investigation based on Australian and British Data
Professor Virginie Pérotin2, Dr. Andrew Robinson and Dr. Joanne Loundes were commissioned by the ILO to write this Working Paper, as an input for the preparation of the ILO Director-General's Global Report to the 2003 session of the International Labour Conference3. The paper examines the incidence of policies and practices for combatting discrimination and promoting equal opportunities among enterprises in Britain and Australia, and investigates the factors that lead enterprises to adopt such practices and their effect on productivity. The paper focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and compares their case with that of larger firms at each stage of the analysis.
Gaps in basic workers' rights: Measuring international adherence to and implementation of the Organization's values with public ILO data
Several ILO colleagues recently began work on Decent Work indicators. Almost invariably, they ran into problems capturing comprehensively what is at the very centre of the ILO and Decent Work, the standards that the Organization has set over the years in the labour field, or they left aside standards altogether. This irked me sufficiently, late last year, to try my hand at putting forward some ideas. Little did I know what I let myself in for. A number of my colleagues in the International Labour Standards Department were aghast at hearing of the simplifications that indicators would introduce without paying attention to the substance and details of everything specialists look at.
Time for equality at work. Global report under the follow-up to the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Report of the Director-General, 2003
The ILO's most comprehensive study to date on discrimination, this timely report argues that the benefits of eliminating discrimination in the workplace transcend the individual and extend to the economy and to society as a whole. While the most blatant forms of discrimination at work have faded, the report reveals that many remain a persistent and daily part of the workplace or are taking on new, more subtle forms that are cause for growing concern
Annotated bibliography on forced/bonded labour in India
This bibliography provides a wide range of references on the subject of forced/bonded labour in India, which has multiple forms. Regardless of this multiplicity it is a negation of inalienable human rights, an affront to dignity, decency and worth of human existence, and anathema to civilised human conscience. Moreover, the prevalence of forced/bonded labour is also incompatible with decent work.
The Links between Collective Bargaining and Equality
Professors Blackett and Sheppard were commissioned by the ILO to write this Working Paper, as an input for preparing the ILO Director-General's Global Report to the 2003 session of the International Labour Conference 2. Their paper explores a complex and wide-ranging subject, i.e. the interface between collective bargaining and equality under current conditions of work. It argues that these two fundamental principles and rights are mutually reinforcing and can together promote workplace governance which reconciles economic with social goals. The paper draws upon a number of concrete examples of how the negotiation process has contributed to the promotion of equality of opportunities and treatment on grounds such as gender, disability, and religion, and shows how an equality agenda can enhance the scope, effectiveness and legitimacy of collective bargaining.
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work: Value, viability, incidence and importance as elements for economic progress and social justice
With this paper the InFocus Programme for promoting the Declaration intends to open new doors for reflection and debate, by broaching new issues, challenges and analyses that will inspire constituents as well as civil society at large to advance in achieving ILO objectives. Moreover, this document is the first of its kind to focus mainly on Latin America, a region where we hope the Declaration will invigorate the development of a significant amount of programmes and activities.
Intersecting risks: HIV/AIDS and child labour
Dr. Rau was commissioned by the ILO to write this working paper, as one of the inputs into preparation of the ILO Director-General's report to the 2002 session of the International Labour Conference, under the follow- up to the ILO Declaration, entitled A Future Without Child Labour. Based on a review of the secondary information currently available, this paper sheds new light on the direct links between HIV/AIDS and child labour, as well on the common factors, driven largely by deep inequalities between social groups, which increase children's vulnerability both to HIV infection and to being draw into child labour, especially its worst forms. Hence the title of this Paper: Intersecting Risks.
Child Labour in the Russian Federation
Dr. Stephenson was commissioned by the ILO to write this Working Paper, as an input into preparation of the ILO Director-General's report to the 2002 session of the International Labour Conference, under the follow-up to the ILO Declaration, entitled A Future Without Child Labour. Based on the author's own research, as well as secondary information sources, the paper reviews emerging trends and issues in child labour in the Russian Federation over the transition period. It highlights some of the key challenges to be faced, if vulnerable groups of children are to be protected from child labour, and particularly its worst forms, in a period of rapid and profound change in economic and social structures.

Privacy Through Collaboration
I have dedicated most of my career to the pursuit of proactively protecting privacy – ensuring that privacy is built into business and technology architecture, by design. During the 1990s, I developed Privacy by Design, consisting of 7 Foundational Principles, which was unanimously passed as an International Standard in 2010, forming the framework for the proactive protection of privacy – a model of prevention. Since then, Privacy by Design has been translated into 39 languages, giving it a true global presence. Although significant strides in privacy protection have followed, ongoing data breaches and violations of consumer privacy have been escalating, pointing to the need for stronger protection.
If you're reading this, chances are you have ubiquitous access to the internet, a smart phone, a laptop, and freely share your personal information through a variety of online services. The sheer volume of data that we share on a daily basis is staggering. From bank account passwords, to credit card details, to credentials for newspaper subscriptions and social media feeds – it is nearly impossible to quantify the bits and bytes of personal data floating around in the ether of the cloud and other networks of communication.
The 7 Foundational Principles of Privacy by Design (PbD) that I developed over twenty years ago still hold true today: privacy measures must be proactive, not reactive; privacy should be the default setting; privacy should be embedded directly into design, cohesively, right from the outset; privacy considerations should offer full functionality; privacy designs should offer strong security, with full lifecycle protection; visibility and transparency should be paramount; and privacy systems should be user-centric, above all. When our data is being shared, if sufficient technologies have been put into place to respect data privacy, right from the beginning, we can take great comfort that our privacy is being strongly protected. But when 1 billion email accounts are made vulnerable, or 800,000 children's voice recordings made via teddy bears are exposed, or when it is reported that online fraud costs Canadians $1B per year, we quickly come to realize just how little privacy is actually being embedded in enterprise development.
With the advent of cloud networks, universal sharing of information and disruptive technology that upsets the status quo of privacy systems, companies think they have no other option than to participate in this collaborative digital environment. Today, digital data is nearly as pervasive as the oxygen we breathe, but it does not follow that this ocean of shared data should be captured in identifiable form and held within vulnerable hubs, ripe for malicious parties to access. Further, the traditional boundaries that once kept data in check are now dynamic, rather than static. The privacy architecture of yesterday is no longer sufficient in this growing world of fluid, accessible information.
Businesses today should follow the example of companies like SecureKey, whose efforts to develop a collaborative, federated ecosystem are a clear display of the privacy-centric digital economy of the future, in which the end-user reigns supreme. Beyond adhering to the 7 Foundational Principles of PbD – by building privacy into every angle of one's business, right from the outset – SecureKey clearly demonstrates how a collaborative environment of like-minded enterprises focused on privacy, can greatly benefit today's digital society.
It is only in collaborative partnerships that the digital rights and privacy of end-users can truly be put first. Enterprises must work together to address the ubiquitous sharing of information, rather than attempt to address privacy alone. They must become active participants in digital exchanges where privacy and end-user validation are not attributes of the systems architecture, but integral to their function.
In this day and age of ubiquitous computing and online connectivity, no business can afford to stand alone when building the digital systems of the future. No business, consumer or government can exist in isolation in our information-saturated age. The 7 Foundational Principles of Privacy by Design, however, coupled with apparatus rooted in collaboration, can help to ensure that privacy prevails and is positioned as the first consideration.

Thyme Natural Market: Naturally Tasty
Nathalie Reid was a loyal shopper at Linda's Organic Kitchen and Market on Lefferts Boulevard in Kew Gardens for a dozen years until she was laid off from her job as a corporate event planner after 9/11. That's when she quickly morphed from customer to baker, helping Linda churn out pecan and chocolate mousse pies during the maddening Thanksgiving season. Buoyed by the experience, Reid enrolled at the Natural Gourmet Institute. By the time Linda was ready to sell, Reid was the ideal successor. And Thyme Natural Market was born.
"We want to show people how to use what they buy here."
Since Reid took over, two years ago, the well-stocked market and cafe not only sports a different name but a newfound vibrancy. Locals refuel on freshly whipped smoothies, soups and organic dishes (many of them vegan and gluten-free), such as garlic and roasted red pepper hummus ("We soak and cook the chickpeas overnight"), Mediterranean tuna salad ("It has less mayo, more lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil") and black bean burritos with raw milk cheese ("We make a vegan version with Daiya").
For those who don't have time to make their own potato salad to bring to this season's bevy of BBQs, Reid's Cajun-inspired recipe, a mélange of Yukon gold and sweet potatoes with hot sauce-spiked mayo comes to the rescue.
In-store demos, soon-to-launch intimate cooking classes and the addition of organic chicken, bison and grass-fed beef in time for barbecue season underscore Reid's commitment to helping the community eat healthier.
"We want to show people how to use what they buy here," Reid says.

A Truly Offensive Traffic Stop
Over the past several weeks, it seems YouTube videos of police behaving badly in Southern California are dominating our discourse. The now famous "don't touch my junk" video in San Diego has become a national sensation, and a national headache for the Transit Security Administration.
But over two nights last week, I twice saw local news reports on a YouTube Video taken by a German tourist pulled over by the California Highway Patrol in Barstow, CA on his way to Las Vegas. The media are fascinated by the officer's salty language and his lame put downs. For example, he asks "Germnay Boy" why he's driving in "my country." Later in the video, the CHP officer makes a couple of references to how the driver would be sexually abused were he to be sent to jail for reckless driving.
The CHP is now investigating the officer's conduct. And well they should. In addition to his verbal abuse of the German tourist, he did something far more offensive.
The verbally abusive officer failed to give the driver a ticket. The German tourist was driving 98 miles per hour at the time of the stop, 28 miles over the speed limit.

If you hit these scofflaws with your car, it's ok. Photo:CJC4454/Flickr Another Southern California newspaper has made the mistake of asking a member of the California Highway Patrol about a law regarding cycling. And as we've seen in the past, that means that misinformation has been published, unchallenged, in a local newspaper. Today's victim is […]

Sheriffs Blame Cyclist Victim in OC Road Rage Bottle-Throwing Incident
By Joe Linton	| Jul 9, 2014
On May 31, 2014, Bryan Larsen was bicycling on a crowded stretch of Pacific Coast Highway in south Orange County. He began to notice a pattern of harassment by the occupants of a large white 4×4 Ram Truck, with Texas Virginia license plate "TX 65-500." When passing cyclists, the truck would spew thick black coal-rolling exhaust. […]


This is an update to my original post of 2014 in which I shared my favorite stamping products (at the time). Since that post, some of my favorites have changed. These are my current favorite stamping products as of August, 2015.
I bought the ultra clean in a small bottle and loved it so much that I ended up ordering a HUGE bottle of it for refills. This stamp cleaner is brilliant! Gets all the stains off of my clear and rubber stamps, even the ones that have been stained for a long time! There is something in the stamp cleaner that conditions your stamps as well, I can't say enough about this product.
I use this stamp scrubber to clean stamps that need an extra deep cleaning. (meaning ones that don't come clean with my absorber or a baby wipe). Specifically, any stamps that are stained and need stamp cleaner, I use with this scrubber. It works like a charm and is much better quality than ones I've tried in the past.
This is what I use when I am in a hurry or have a stamp that doesn't need a heavy duty cleaning. You can get them at Costco, or online at Amazon.
When I'm doing repeat stamping, I use my absorber because it cleans the ink off of the stamps fast. If I'm using an ink that stains stamps, I use ultra clean and a scrubber. Otherwise, it's baby wipes or my absorber. I cut a small square about 4×4 and keep it in small container and keep it damp. That way it's on my desk and available anytime I'm stamping.
I don't need this often because I mostly stamp with clear stamps but when I use my cling rubber stamps, I use my EK Success Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to make sure I stamp exactly where I need to.
This is undoubtedly one of my most used tools when it comes to stamping. I LOVE my stamp press. It's like an acrylic block on steroids LOL It makes stamping easy!
Acrylic blocks are mostly the same, so the brand doesn't really matter. There are some brands that are thicker than others, so it's all personal choice. However, I use Apple Pie Memories most often because of the selection of sizes and great prices.
This tool is a must have for embossing. You use it to prepare your paper for stamping with embossing ink. It controls the static cling and keeps the embossing powder from sticking to places it should stick! For clean embossing, always use a powder tool!
All heat tools are NOT made the same. This is by far, the best quality heat tool I've ever owned. Unfortunately, it is not currently available (but check often because I'm sure it will come back in stock!).
UPDATE: Because the Milwaukee/Hero Arts Embossing Heat Tool is not available at the moment, I wanted to provide you with an alternative so I'm posting my other favorite heat tool for you. My best friend Maciana has this one by Uchida and I used it when I was at her house crafting recently and I was shocked to find that it heats up even faster than mine! It worked like a dream! If I had to buy another one, this is the one I'd get!
This is the only brand embossing powder I use. I always get the "fine detail" type because it embosses into a smooth finish without the bumps you get with other powders. It comes in many different colors but my most frequently used colors are clear and white.
This is a very sticky ink that takes a long time to dry which allows stampers time to use embossing powder to heat emboss their stamped images. This is my favorite embossing ink.
This is what I use to store my embossing powders in. I got the idea from Jennifer McGuire. They are the perfect size and I also use the clips and small spoons that she recommends. (shown below).
You stick one of these clips on the inside of the storage container's lid and it holds your small spoons perfectly. No more digging through embossing powder to get your spoon!
The Container Store Coupon Code!
Thank you for all the suggestions. I am going to keep these in mind next time I go shopping!
Thank you for posting the differences between acrylic and photopolymer. I agree with your assessments of the stamped image quality.

Closer to the Edge: Investors Buying Up Regional Data Centers
By Rich Miller - April 26, 2017

Edge computing is just getting started. But it will be a key component of the Internet infrastructure of the future, providing connectivity and data storage for transformative new technologies like virtual reality, the Internet of Things and autonomous vehicles.
America's edge infrastructure will develop over time, with investment tracking the business opportunity. A key first step is to add more data center infrastructure in cities beyond the Big Five markets that house the majority of data center space. This process has begun in earnest in early 2017, as investors and service providers are buying up facilities in these regional "second-tier" cities.
The latest evidence is today's announcements that 365 Data Centers has been acquired by a group of investors including Chirisa Investments, Lumerity Capital and Longboat Advisors. The deal includes eight data centers with a strong base of carrier and content customers, including facilities in Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York and Tampa.
The company will get a new CEO in Bob DeSantis, who has experience in regional data centers from his tenure as co-founder and Managing Partner of Xand.
"This initial acquisition provides us with a proven carrier neutral platform in predominantly edge markets that can realize internal growth from added content provider and enterprise market share and be enhanced by additional data center and managed services investments," said DeSantis. "We intend to grow the company for our customers, employees and investors by significantly increasing our sales team, investing in new product offerings, and broadening our target market to leverage our exceptional carrier, content, and cloud centric ecosystem and the available space and power at each of the facilities."
Building Platforms for Future Growth
The reference to the "initial" acquisition makes clear that 365 Data Centers will become a vehicle for additional acquisitions, as confirmed by new Chairman Colm Piercy of Dublin-based Chirisa, who is also the chairman of Irish wholesale data center specialist Dataplex.
"This investment provides Chirisa with a solid foundation to execute on its strategy to broaden its data center, managed services, and real estate reach into the US market," said Piercy.
This is becoming a popular strategy in the second-tier markets, as investors buy up smaller companies to create a national network of data centers. Some examples:
Tierpoint has been the leading proponent of this regional roll-up strategy, making a series of 11 acquisitions in just six years to create a national network of 38 data centers in 24 markets, with more than 6,000 customers.
Digital Bridge is building a retail colocation network through its Databank brand, which it acquired last year. It has subsequently acquired C7 Data Centers of Salt Lake City and facilities from 365 Data Centers in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Digital Bridge also owns significant telecom tower assets, as well as distributed antenna systems (DAS), small cells and other wireless connectivity solutions, creating intriguing possibilities for building edge networks.
EdgeConneX has also pursued growth in edge markets, but instead of buying existing providers, it has been building new data center capacity. EdgeConneX, which specializes in content distribution, has built out a network of 24 data centers across the U.S. and Europe. The company designs its facilities to operate without full-time staff on site, using sophisticated monitoring and remote hands when on-site service is needed.
Others pursuing growth strategies in second-tier markets include Compass Datacenters, ByteGrid and H5 Data Centers.
These regional operations are different animals than the data center presence seen Big Five hot spots, which include like Northern Virginia, Dallas, Silicon Valley, Chicago and New York/New Jersey. For one thing, the facilities in second-tier cities are smaller. In its eight markets, 365 Data Centers has a total footprint of 126,000 square feet of space and 9 megawatts of power, which is the equivalent of one medium-sized data center in Ashburn, where requirements range north of 20 megawatts per building.

Yes, the Cloud Is a Catalyst; It's Also a Competitive Benchmark
Cloud data centers are typically located where the metrics of total cost of ownership, flexibility, performance, and 'righteousness' are optimized. This white paper provides an overview of the US markets with the lowest total cost of ownership by ranking them based on land, energy, network and labor costs.
Investors See Opportunity at the Edge
The opportunity in regional markets was a popular topic at last week's Greater New York Data Center Summit. The conference, hosted by CapRate events, featured investors and data center executives, who said the investor appetite for Internet infrastructure is strong.
"It's quite healthy out there," said Tony Lin, a director at private equity firm GI Partners, a long-time player in the data center sector. "The hunt for yield in real estate is coming out of the core food groups and into the data center market. You're seeing different kinds of institutional money we haven't seen before, including infrastructure funds."
An example is Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, which recently acquired Cologix. The private equity firm has built a portfolio of companies in natural gas, solar energy, microgrids and wireless antennas. Stonepeak says it will invest $500 million to accelerate the growth of the Cologix platform, which is focused on second-tier cities and includes a presence in leading markets in Canada.
More Capital Enables Scale, Reach
That's a familiar pattern. When investors buy established operators, the upside is found by leveraging a successful operating template and investing the capital necessary to add scale.
"It's to be expected that we'll see more consolidation," said Jonathan Atkin, a Managing Director of RBC Capital Markets who specializes in data centers and telecom, who said many deals will involve companies involving local markets selling to larger operators, including the public data center REITs. "I definitely see an increasing amount of interest in Tier 2 markets."
As background, we've previously discussed the broad outlines of edge computing and how it will impact data center geography and network infrastructure, as well as in our executive roundtable. In January we predicted that edge computing would create meaningful opportunities for data center expansion in 2017, and the recent M&A action reinforces this thesis.

"I bought this product as a handy tin to keep in my handbag and it didn't disappoint. It comes in a really cute design, the tin is easy to open but rem..."
Love the smell and texture when applying to face for a night cream. It is very thick so I put a blob on 4 fingers of one hand then spread them across the other hand's fingers, pat the cream all over my face then its easier to spread /massage in without stretching my skin. It is a little bit on the greasy side but that subsides after an hour or so. It seems to make me look a little brighter. I think its a bit too greasy for my normal skin in the day time though. I have been using it for almost a week and it does not seem to be clogging my pores. A little more time will tell but so far so good.
I had been using the 30ml sized Nivea Creme for over a year and really liked the product. Because of difficulty getting that size anymore I recently bought a larger 60ml size. However, when I used it I found it extremely greasy and it left a sticky residue on my face which was still there the following morning. Looking at the ingredients list of the 60ml tin and comparing it with the 30ml tin I found that there are different ingredients in each. I then looked at the ingredients lists of a number of other Nivea moisturizing products and found them to be similar to those in the 60ml tin. What I don't understand is why Nivea claims that Nivea Creme is the "the original moisturizer" when it has changed the ingredients! Surely changing the ingredients so significantly makes it a different product and certainly not the 'original'. Sadly, I will NOT be buying Nivea anymore, which is regrettable because I really liked the old 'original' which suited my sensitive skin.
After reading the reviews, I bought this product for my very dry hands and face, but once applied I realised that it not only forms an oily layer on my skin, but I don't notice a drastic improvement to making my skin smoother either. Maybe my skin is different to other people? But the smell is nice and the cream is a nice consistency.
In winter my skin was drying out when outdoors so this pocket size was great to have in handbag as an emergency use but i use it everyday now. Great on the skin, so invisible.

Weather engineering -- that may gradual the velocity of world warming via injecting reflective debris into the higher surroundings -- has emerged lately as a really arguable know-how. And for stable cause: it consists of unknown hazards and it will possibly undermine commitments to keeping strength. a few critics additionally view it as an immoral human breach of the flora and fauna. The latter objection, David Keith argues in <I>A Scientist's Case for weather Engineering</I>, is groundless; we've been utilizing know-how to change our surroundings for years. yet he has the same opinion that there are huge matters at stake. a number one scientist lengthy keen on weather swap, Keith deals no naïve concept for a simple repair to what's maybe the main demanding query of our time; weather engineering isn't any silver bullet. yet he argues that when many years in which little or no growth has been made in lowering carbon emissions we needs to placed this know-how at the desk and view it responsibly. That doesn't suggest we are going to set up it, and it doesn't suggest that we will be able to abandon efforts to lessen greenhouse gasoline emissions. yet we needs to comprehend absolutely what learn should be performed and the way the expertise should be designed and used. This publication presents a transparent and obtainable review of what the prices and hazards could be, and the way weather engineering may healthy right into a greater application for handling weather swap.

What Are The Basic Orthopedic Problems In Children?
Know Difference Between Crack And Fracture!
I am having pain between shoulders, lower back pain. Doctor done x ray and found everything is good. He prescribed Ace Procyon CR and Neurotrat LM tablets. But pain still continuing.
It must be due to muscle spasm and you must start doing exercise. Get some blood test like RA factor, uric acid and HlaB27 to rule out arthritis.
Back Pain - Know Treatment For Reducing It!
Lower back pain is a very common discomfort causing condition that occurs anywhere on the back below the ribs and above the legs. The pain is very common and it faced by most individuals at least once during their lifetime.
It refers to an ancient form of therapy in which your back pain is treated externally. This form of treatment is quite similar to a massage treatment and helps to relax the muscles in the lower back area, thereby reducing the pain. It is usually done by osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, occupational therapists and physical therapists.
The main role of this type of treatment is to naturally reset the affected area of the body in order to allow it to regain its normal form. The results usually begin to appear after at least 2 sessions of the therapy and the effects are long lasting in nature.
This is an old technique which uses small needles at strategic locations on your skin. The main aim of the acupuncturists is to re-balance the flow of energy in your body and to ensure that you have an optimal level of energy in all parts of your body. This in turn helps to regain the normal state of your lower back if the right points on the body are targeted.
Myelopathy - Know Causes And Symptoms Of It!
Myelopathy refers to any neurological deficit in the spinal cord. The three most common types of myelopathy are cervical myelopathy, lumbar myelopathy and thoracic myelopathy. Here are the causes and symptoms of myelopathy.
This is a very common cause of myelopathy. Any type of accident or even a traumatic event can cause myelopathy and perhaps even paralysis.
This is a condition in which the spinal cord narrows. It is one of the leading causes of myelopathy.
As you get older, these get more likely as well as other conditions which affect the spinal column such as osteoporosis.
It is a little known fact that tumors very often do cause myelopathy.
There are many other diseases which may cause myelopathy and multiple sclerosis is one of them.
There are many indications that you are having a form of myelopathy and should consult a medical expert. Here are some of them.
What this means is that all of a sudden you may find it harder to move certain limbs the way you want to. Sometimes, this can affect the whole body.
It is highly likely that if you have myelopathy then you will have sudden weakness in your muscles.
This is perhaps the biggest indicator of myelopathy since hand eye coordination is directly linked to your spinal cord and brain and if they are not functioning properly then hand-eye coordination will be worse.
These are just some of the symptoms of myelopathy, however the doctor cannot diagnose myelopathy until he does certain tests. These tests include MRI scans and other tests as well as a regular physical check-up in addition to a look at your medical history.

Take proper sleep. Apply hot pack and do exercises for your neck, you can take some pain killers for a few days.


I thought about some things that have helped me be more careful with my diet when I'm on vacation and here they are!
Find a grocery store where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits are something that a lot of people love, but for those who can live without it, it's good to get your favorites. For example, I really like grapes and watermelon. Picking favorites will ensure that I will want to eat it and maybe even leave space for it. Find a way to get your favorite healthy foods.
2. First thing in the morning: Heathy Breakfast!
Eating a healthy breakfast starts your day of right. Opt for more fruits and even vegetables if you know that you will not be eating that much of it during the day. Having oatmeal or whole wheat toast also helps with your day's fibre intake.
It's not that after eating a really wholesome breakfast, you can forget about eating well for the rest of the day, but it helps me reach a healthy standard when I know I will be BBQing with family, eating at restaurants (probably more high fat/high sodium) or too busy sightseeing to stop for a decent meal.
3. Set aside one meal where you pay more attention to the nutrition in your meal!
As a student, traveling means spending more money. Doing groceries saves money and helps me stay healthy. I like to save money and watch my total caloric intake very carefully while I am away. I pick meals or days where I make sure I eat lower calories or just get more nutrients in much the same manner as I watch every dollar I spend.
I hope these tips are helpful! I admit that I don't always follow them, but having them at the back of my mind helps keeps me in line.
How do you eat when you travel? How do you remind yourself to stay on top of your nutrition? What are some of YOUR tips?
I discovered this chocolate cake cake recipe with an interesting twist. The recipe uses beetroot as a sweetener which lowers the amount of sugar in it! I think the idea is great to use to practice reducing sugar use.
I have a list of things that I think are weird enough to be cool. (Like a platypus? How is it part duck, part frog, part beaver? That's not the case of seals though…) Anyways, I think beetroot in cake was weird enough to be cool so I decided to try it out and see. Hope you all enjoy!
Make the icing in a double boiler, chocolate is really sensitive to burning.
Some tips: Use an 8′ springform pan if you have one. If you don't like really really dark chocolate, use milk chocolate in your icing! Or maybe instead of 3/4 cup sugar for the cake, use 1 1/4 cup. This cake rises a lot so it serves up to maybe 15 people or more, so it's a lot!! And if whole wheat is too much for you, split it half whole wheat and half white flour!
Another idea: make a raspberry couli to go with the cake, all you need is fresh/frozen rapsberries, syrup/honey and a blender.
Hope the summer heat is bearable for you all and, for those of you who went out to see F1, hope you all liked it! 🙂 I love Montreal!!!!
Which RICE is the healthiest?
Rice is the basic food for millions of people across the world, and the varieties, I've discovered, are endless (100 000+!). One of the conversation topics I always have ready if there is ever an awkward silence at the dinner table is, "Would you rather have rice, noodles or bread exclusively for the rest of your life?" I would choose rice because I personally love stews and curries. What is your pick (Leave a comment!)?
Rice is first divided into 3 subcategories: short, medium and long-grain. Popular types that we come across frequently here in Montreal and North America are Brown, White, MinuteRice, Parboiled, Basmati, Jasmine, Arborio and Wild-rice. However, note that within Jasmine and Basmati Rices, there is the choice between brown and white also.
What is the difference between brown and white rice anyway? Raw rice, also named "paddy", is taken from the rice plant and divided into 1) brown rice, also called whole grain rice or "husked" rice, and 2) husks, which is the inedible part that grows with the grain. The brown rice/husked rice then goes through processing to arrive at the final product, white rice. The general rule is "the whiter the grain, the lower the nutrient content," exceptions are parboiled rice which is pretreated to contain more nutrients.
Through this milling process, the brown rice is stripped of it's bran layer and the germ (the embryo of the rice) is lost, leaving the starchy endosperm known as white rice. These losses contain the vast majority of the nutrients in rice, such as vitamins, fibre content, trace elements and mainly, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6) as well as vitamin E. Which is why it is always best to choose brown rice over white rice, even though both are low in sodium and high in potassium which helps the body maintain it's water balance. Wild-rice also has similar benefits as brown rice.
Here's a breakdown of nutritional contents of different rices per 2 servings (approx. 1 cup cooked).
*Glycemic Index: Measure of the effect of carbohydrates (sugars) on blood sugar levels. So the faster the carbs break down into sugars (starch -> glucose), the faster blood sugar will spike (bad). So we want to avoid High GIs to balance our blood sugar levels and stick with Low GI foods. For more info on GI.
I'm thinking of making coconut curry to go with Brown Rice! Be on the lookout with our Facebook Fan Page or follow us on Twitter!
I have a friend that I have known since kindergarten. Let's call him Ernie. As long as I have known Ernie, he has been on the pudgy side. He was never obese but could always stand to lose a few pounds.
Earlier this year he started asking me nutrition questions. He would call me, text me, email me and I started to realize that he was serious about changing his eating habits. Ernie is a bachelor and lives alone. He didn't used to cook for himself . I am not really sure how he ate. All I know is he had an epiphany and new he needed to make some changes. He was always semi active with golf, tennis and skiing but he suffered from back issues. If his back was out then he was not active at all. Since losing over 20 pounds his back is better and he enjoyed a lot of tennis this summer. Actually, he is now active at least 5 times a week!
Ernie made and continues to make small dietary changes. Each change that he makes is something that is manageable for him. For example, he switched from white refined pasta to whole wheat. He did the same for all breads and other grains like rice. He believes one of his keys to success was cutting out all refined processed white foods. Whole grain is more satiating than white resulting in less calories consumed which leads to weight loss.
Ernie started to scrutinize his portions. This was a significant step in reducing his calories. Ernie started cooking more and learning how to prepare food in a healthier way. He had a few cooking disasters along the way like burnt sweet potato fries but that is part of the learning process. Cooking mistakes always lead to greater success later on.
I guess the biggest change that Ernie made was developing an awareness of what he put in his mouth. I don't think he ever thought much about it before. He was at my house over the weekend and it got to be supper time but he didn't want to eat with us because he was expected at his parent's house for supper. I could tell he was hungry and Richard offered him some homemade wrap pizza he had just made. Ernie took 3 small slices equivalent to one bread serving just to tide him over. In the past, he probably would have eaten a lot more at our house and then gone for supper anyway.
Why is Ernie so successful? You can read about all of his changes here in his own words. But, in my opinion the reason he doing so well is simply because he was ready!

Psych Recap With Spoilers: S.E.I.Z.E. The Day
Finally picking up on the events of last year's season finale (we've had a musical episode and a theme episode in the last month, so it seems like it's been a long while since the Chief was suspended, Lassiter was demoted and Psych stopped being hired), the episode opens with Anthony Michael Hall's Harris Trout rallying the troops in front of police headquarters. Fun fact: Hall is the fifth principal cast member of John Hughes's The Breakfast Club to appear on Psych. The film featured only seven named characters, and all of them except for Emilio Estevez and Paul Gleason have appeared on the show. Gleason passed away on May 27, 2006, about six weeks before Psych debuted on USA. When I spoke with him in 2010, series star James Roday said that the show would likely never be able to get Estevez. "We sort of had a wish list of people that we want to have on the show that we've been checking names off of for the last four years," said Roday. "Getting the entire Breakfast Club is, I think, un-doable, but it's still up there as one of the goals. I think that having Molly on is probably going to happen; I think with a little finesse and arm-twisting we can probably get Anthony Michael Hall to do something fun. But I think getting Emilio is going to be what keeps it from happening. He just doesn't really act much anymore. I think he's going to be the one that got away."
When he asks for his head detective, Juliet steps up. Making their way to a crime scene, Shawn and Gus convince one of the locals to attempt to get past the barrier in order to get them near enough to the evidence for Shawn to do his thing. While placing the man under arrest for interfering with the investigation, Lassiter sees their suspect attempting to sneak out of the area around the corner of a house. He tackles and arrests the man before Trout can finish his speech. Cut to days later, when Trout is holding a press conference bragging about Lassiter's success; someone tries to shoot him, but Lassiter tackles him to the ground. A white van pulls away from the scene. Shawn and Gus head to the police department, where they're sneaking around so as not to be seen by Trout when they approach Lassiter; Shawn offers to help him as a "life coach," his next get-rich-quick scheme now that Psych is struggling without the income from the police department. They convince Lassiter to step up and rally the troops, since Juliet is not doing it as well as she could (she feels guilty about taking Lassiter's job). He goes and makes an awkward-but-rousing speech, then leaves the station.
After that, he heads home to see Marlowe. He tells her all about his speech, during which she interrupts to tell him taht she's pregnant. Later, sitting in his car and looking at a sonogram photo, Lassiter sees a white van drive by and pulls it over. Dialogue reveals this is the fourth white van he's pulled over in an hour, but before he can make it to the door to check on the driver, he sees someone walking by with a stroller and starts to have a brakdown. He calls for backup, and O'Hara comes personally. When she arrives, Lassiter is crouched and hiding behind his car. When it turns out to be a family headed to school, he's embarrassed. Back in Trout's office, he tells Lassiter that if he brings in the gunman without dying, he will review Lassiter's file to give him his job back. While Shawn and Gus are back at Psych, Lassiter comes to them for help with the case, telling them that he isn't physically capable of doing it on his own anymore. In a binder full of death threats directed at Trout, Shawn finds a batch of threats all dated exactly one year apart each. They head off to see the suspect, and when they see that she's got the same caliber of gun that the suspect had, Shawn tells Lassiter and Gus that it's Trout's mother.
She apparently sends a threatening letter to him every year on his birthday. When they tell her what the problem is, she tells them that you know it isn't her, because she would have missed. They take her in to interrogation anyway. Lassiter goes into Trout's office to tell him that his mother is in custody, but loses his nerve. Shawn sends him back in, and Trout says he wants first crack at her. He goes in and gets into an argument with her immediately. O'Hara comes to tell them that there was another white van drive-by, and she wants Lassiter's help in the investigation. At the hospital, they visit the latest shooting victim, who's just as repulsive and unlikable as Trout. Shawn thinks the killer is specifically targeting "a-holes," and calls his father to warn him.
Trout, of course, likes the victim and brings Lassiter the possessions taken from the man's car out of evidence and tells him to return them to the man at his office. When he gets there, he sees what he thinks is the same white van in the parking lot and has a breakdown. Shawn and Gus show up and bring him to the van in spite of his state of panic. They hear a noise inside the building and Shawn and Gus go in to investigate while Lassiter stays behind to watch the van. Shawn and Gus become convinced that Lassiter is sick and dying, but before they can process it, they have to go investigate more noises in the dark. A hooded figure takes a few shots at them and then, upon heading out to the van, points the gun at Lassiter but it's empty. Lassiter nevertheless panics, and the suspect runs off. When they head back into the office, though, the victim has already been murdered. As it turns out, he was dead by the time they got there, but Trout is still angry. He confiscates Lassiter's ticket book and pens. O'Hara comes to report that nobody has seen the van's owner for days. They're going to go to his workplace to look for him, and she wants to bring Lassiter. Shawn tells her that they believe Lassiter is dying, and she goes to invite him to help her investigate at the fish market where their suspect works. When they go to the fish market, the suspect's co-workers all hate him and say he was an awful person. Shawn sees the suspect's--Tony Delphin's--glasses from his photo in a tub of food waste, and tells the police to go check it; there, they find his body buried in fish guts. Shawn and Gus remind Juliet that their suspects are all jerks. Shawn sees a logo on a building and remembers it from the shirt of the man he'd inadvertently gotten arrested at the beginning of the episode; they go to his house and talk to his wife, who says the man was always being bullied by jerks and never sticking up for himself. She said she can't be married to, and have kids with, someone who's afraid of his own shadow--and as she's saying that, Lassiter sees her husband sneaking into the house where he'd previously tackled the suspect across the street. He tears out of there after the suspect, and Shawn sees him through the window entering the crime scene house. Lassiter is working his way through the house with his gun drawn when the rest of the group follows him over. Lassiter, seeing the man, drops his gun; Patrick (the suspect) isn't armed yet, but has a pistol on the counter. They have a brief standoff that ends with Lassiter fully getting his personality back and rolling into position with his gun to arrest Patrick. During the standoff, Lassiter had admitted he was going to have a kid, so Shawn and Juliet know he's not dying anymore, and everyone has a brief celebration dance. Back at the station, Lassiter goes into Trout's office, and Trout congratulates him on his job well done. To "reward" him, Trout tells Lassiter that he's being promoted to his personal driver. Later, Lassiter is in Henry's truck getting parenting advice. He tells him that there will always be bad guys to chase, but that your kid only grows up once and it's important to be an attentive parent. After having had that conversation, Lassiter tickets Henry for a broken tail light.

I felt too cruddy after therapy yesterday to write about it. It is almost like I'm actually better off if I don't have therapy at all. I was in a bad mood all day, but tolerably bad. Having worked at home all morning, I knew my grey mood was most likely linked to not seeing anyone.
I arrived at my session not really sure of what I would talk about. I was in that quiet, zombie numb state and felt stubborn about remaining so. This was probably compounded by J forgetting she was meant to see me. I wasn't angry with her, but I guess it made me start off defensive.
I told her I didn't really have anything to say. She said she thought this was OK, and that we don't have to dig for something every time. But then there was silence. I hated that, it made me retreat even further because if we are not talking, I feel so isolated.
Her reaching out made me feel really emotional and anxious. As soon as I feel that welling up I get stressed and start dissociating, I am so scared of letting myself be upset. I told her I feel like everything is too tangled, complex and confusing. My head is this jumble of anxious thoughts and I'm tired of trying to unpick it all. I said I just want to get drunk and not care for a while.
Her response was to say she understands why I want to blot everything out. But we have to find a way to make things more manageable. Her empathy made me feel so very sad and lost, I actually cried a bit.
Somehow we ended up talking about my relationship with my parents and this made me cry more. I couldn't keep the emotion back when I told her how distant my dad is and how his relationship with my brother, my abuser, makes me feel so rejected. My experience, my pain, my truth are rejected. I told her I feel as though I've lost him, and that made me feel deeply sad.
J kept trying different questions to get me to think about this differently, to figure out how I could relate to my dad again. But I pushed back on all of them. Ultimately, I know nothing will work, because I know my dad so well. He's not approachable, he's not open minded, he wont respond well to me taking him out of his comfort zone. He will assume I'm attacking him and he will lash out. Last time I attempted this, he couldn't cope, and buried himself further in his denial. This again, felt like another rejection. I tried to kill myself the next day.
I am resigned now to only ever having a superficial relationship with him. Because I love him very much, I can't live my life without him. He was that super, cuddly, fun man who fiercely protected me when I was growing up. From everything except his own son.
J asked me what I think I need from him. I said I need him to acknowledge how bad it was, that my brother was wrong and that my pain now is real. She asked why I haven't asked him for that, I said because I know he doesn't believe it. He believes it wasn't that bad, that I am being spiteful and pathetic letting it get to me now after all these years.
It was devastating to say that out loud. To say that my truth is so very different from his, and the two will never be reconciled. So I have lost him. I've lost everything I thought he was to me and everything I had hoped for from him.

Teaching tech
October 2, 2018 Lower Division, News
New lower school teacher brings years of teaching, tech experience to Notre Dame.
Andy Hopkins, the new technology teacher at Notre Dame's lower school, helps fifth-grader Blake Whidden with his iPad. Hopkins comes to Notre Dame after 25 years of teaching in the Harper Woods school district.
In 25 years of working in the Harper Woods, Mich., school district, teacher and tech specialist Andy Hopkins saw much improvement in the kind of technology that was made available to students. He also was responsible for many of those improvements. In fact, under Hopkins' guidance, the district became the first in Wayne County to become a 1:1 device district.
But he wasn't always a tech guy.
"My career started in Harper Woods as a teacher and I taught there for 25 years," said the lower division's new technology teacher. "During my first 20 years at Harper Woods, I taught 7th-grade social studies as well as 4th grade subjects. But for the last five years there, I was the district's technology specialist."
In 2016, Hopkins was named a special Digital Innovator by Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which means he was deemed part of a community of PreK-12 educators who are thought-leaders and classroom change-makers.
In that role, Hopkins, who specializes in Apple computer products, did staff training on iPads and MacBooks, worked with teachers on class projects and helped the IT department set up and maintain devices district-wide. In 2016, he was named a special Digital Innovator by Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which means he was deemed part of a community of PreK-12 educators who are "thought-leaders and classroom change-makers," according to PBS.
In 2017, Hopkins was named an Apple Distinguished Educator, which means he was one of a only a relative few in the world recognized as K–12 and higher-education pioneers who are using Apple technology to transform teaching and learning.
So it seems Hopkins was a perfect choice this school year to fill the role of technology teacher for Notre Dame's lower school, a notion embraced fully by Principal Diana Atkins.
"I have always said Mary brings us the right candidates for faculty and staff at the time we need them," Atkins said. "This is true with our new technology teacher, Andrew Hopkins. His knowledge and experience with Apple products will help elevate us to the next level in our technology instruction with students. Now, as we embark on becoming an official Apple Distinguished School, he has already shared new ideas and initiatives with students and faculty. I look forward to working with him as we go through this school year and beyond."
Hopkins too is looking forward to the rest of the year at Notre Dame, especially if it's anything like his first month or so on the Pontiac campus.
"Everyone here has been so friendly and supportive to me," said Hopkins, who hold a BS degree in education from Wayne State University and an EdS (education specialist) certification in instructional technology, also from WSU. "It's been a great experience so far."
He's also appreciative of the many new, different and non-traditional educational opportunities that Notre Dame and its International Baccalaureate curriculum offers to both students and teachers.
"I went into education in the first place to help others," he said. "During my own schooling I was not what you would a call a traditional learner. However, during this time, the only option for learning was the existing traditional environment. Now, in my role as a teacher and technology specialist, I like to create learning environments that help all learners, not just traditional learners."
Hopkins also appreciates the many creative options that Apple products inherently offer to students.
"I have a lot of experience with Apple products," he said. "and I thoroughly enjoy doing creative activities with the kids and their iPads. They really give them the ability to express themselves in their own voice. I also feel it makes for a much deeper learning experience."

SOCIAL MEDIA, HAVE YOUR SAY!!!
Re: SOCIAL MEDIA, HAVE YOUR SAY!!!
There are investment solutions groups, investment fraud groups, investment experts groups and a growing level of awareness is happening.
Join me LARRY ELFORD if you want to get in touch. I keep in touch with hundreds (or more) of people interested in looking at some of the taboo subjects surrounding investments. We are people who are interested in learning the tricks and traps that investment dealers do not want you to know about.
I will gladly speak with anyone who wishes to have honest conversations about financial abuse by financial professionals. It is just something I personally cannot accept.
For those who truly wish to get into the discussion, and help find common ground and perhaps some solutions, there are additional opportunities through social media.
The groups that I am aware of who have been successful in getting some of their money back (millions) have all used the power of social media to organize and collaborate.
I know of no other way to host a conversation, or share information with so many people at the same time, from all over the country.
Another group, BC Fraud is hopefully soon the be developed to give some organizational strength to victims there. We welcome each and every region to step forth and do the same if they find they have a problem with investment fraud. If we compare enough stores, we just might find the common denominator.
I hope some of you will join us in one of these social media groups. They are not a replacement for this web site, but rather an addition to this web site, with unique communication features which can be quite handy. Hope to see some of you there.
