5 Months After Giving Birth, I'm Learning How to Love My Postpartum Body
Why I Feel Guilty For Hating My Postpartum Body
December 18, 2019 by Jessica Booth
When I first found out I was pregnant a year ago, a million thoughts ran through my mind. Among them was this: "I'm going to gain so much weight."
I want to be clear: I was also ecstatic, excited, terrified, and slightly in shock that I was growing a teensy-tiny human being inside of me. I was newly married and my husband and I were ready for a baby. But I was also incredibly scared of what was going to happen to my body. I think of myself as a body-positive person, so this took me especially by surprise. I never thought women should feel any certain way about their weight, yet here I was, stressing endlessly about mine. But it wasn't just the impending weight gain that was bound to happen, but all of the little things I had heard about pregnancy as well: Were my feet going to get bigger? Were my facial features going to change? Was my hair seriously going to fall out? I had no idea what to expect, and it was scary for me.
In the early months of being pregnant, I admitted to other women that I was nervous about the inevitable changes, thinking maybe they could relate and I would feel less alone. While a few did admit that they struggled with their bodies after giving birth, most of what I heard made me feel silly for voicing my concerns. A lot of people said things like, "What? Why are you worried about weight gain? You're pregnant, what did you think would happen?" Many said, "You'll forget all about that when you have the baby. It won't even matter."
I Never Lost the Baby Weight, and Honestly, I Don't Care What Anyone Says About That
After a while, I started to think they were right. Maybe I was just being self-absorbed and vain, and when I became a mother, everything would fall into place and I would be OK with the extra pounds, the hair loss, and the aches and pains that follow childbirth. I started to think that that should happen, that when I gave birth, I should feel so grateful for my child that I wouldn't think about myself at all. For a little, things were like that: in the days after giving birth, I was so consumed with love and happiness that it overtook everything else. I didn't give much thought to the fact that I was more swollen than I ever had been before, I ignored my puffy face, I embraced loose sweatpants, and I dealt with the pain. Holding my daughter and looking into her eyes was all that mattered to me.
But as the rose-colored new-mommy-and-child bubble began to fade away, I started to pay more attention to what was going on with my body. My stomach seemed pouchy and loose and impossible to conceal. I felt like my hips had doubled in size. I thought that my face looked wider and rounder. Yes, I had lost some of the baby weight right away, like many women do, but I still had to lose quite a bit more to get back to where I had been before my daughter was born.
On top of all of that, I was in more pain than I had ever been in before, and was finding the simple tasks of sitting, laughing, and walking to be nearly impossible. My hormones were in a place they had never been before, and I was crying over everything. In short, I didn't feel like myself at all . . . and I hated it.
I waited for the feelings many had told me about to enter my head. I waited to feel grateful for my body, for its ability to create human life, to make a tiny, perfect, healthy baby girl when some women can't. I waited for a feeling of nonchalance about my weight, for my mind to realize I had better and more important things to focus on now with my daughter. For a while, those feelings didn't come. Instead, I was just focused on my weight and what people were thinking about me every time they saw me. And I felt, and still feel, incredibly guilty for being so self-absorbed.
The Breastfeeding Lie: How Nursing Made Me Gain Weight
As my hormones began to calm down, and the crying fits over nothing stopped, I started to feel a little bit better. Really, though, the turning point for me was when I deleted a few photos of my daughter and me because I didn't like how I looked in them. In the midst of deleting, I paused and reminded myself that I could never get those moments back because she wouldn't be a baby forever — and that I was deleting them just because I didn't like how I looked. I felt instant regret. In that moment, I made a promise to myself. It wasn't that I was going to work hard to lose the weight or start a diet right then and there. It was that I was going to be kinder to myself about my body and all of the changes that it had gone through, no matter what it took.
Things certainly haven't been perfect since that revelation. I didn't go from hating my postpartum body to embracing the extra pounds in a matter of hours. But I did start to feel better. I spent a lot of time reminding myself that I wanted my daughter to grow up in a positive environment where she could learn to love herself no matter what. I opened up to my husband and found that talking honestly to him made me feel less alone, even if he couldn't relate. I also started working out, but without the mindset of "I want to lose weight." Instead, I did it to feel more powerful, get more energy, and get some time to myself. Without the pressure of weight loss on my back, exercise made me feel great.
While I'm still not happy with everything about my body, I'm getting there. I still constantly feel guilty for how much I'm putting myself through mentally, and I also feel like a hypocrite for wanting my daughter to feel confident in herself in the future when I can barely manage to feel that way about myself right now. But I'm trying my hardest, and at least I can feel good about that.

I first came across the practice of Yoga in 2001 in my home town in England. I instantly felt a strong connection to the practice and knew Yoga was going to be a part of my life.
I teach from a place of love & encouragement; Ashtanga Yoga, Prenatal Yoga,Postnatal Yoga, and Pelvic Floor Health. With these practices I help support women throughout the grace and challenges of their pregnancy, postpartum experience, and journey through womanhood. I hold space for everyone to be in a compassionate relationship with themselves cultivating healing on all levels.
Certified in Ashtanga Yoga by Paul Dallaghan, Neil Barker, Harmony Slater and Jeff Lichty at Yoga Thailand in 2006. I'm also certified in Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga by Juliette Kurth, Restorative Yoga by Jillian Pransky and Pelvic Floor Yoga by Leslie Howard. I've studied with Sharath Jois at KPYJA in India and continue to practice yoga daily. Before discovering yoga, I trained as a professional dancer at one of London's leading Dance school, Laban. Throughout my time as a dancer I explored and developed a thorough understanding of movement analysis and anatomy. Over the past 12 years, I have taught Ashtanga in London (UK), Sydney (AUS) and Los Angeles (USA). Ive assisted many teachers including Fiona Pullen (AUS), and Melissa Cooper Margolin and Pranidhi Vashney (USA). I've taught Ashtanga Led Primary privately as well as in studios, ran beginner yoga courses at New South Wales University and at the University of Sydney and over the past decade built my own business Connecting Yoga. Ive shared my teachings to the elderly and the young,adapting the practice to support where my students are in space, time and circumstance.
I live in gratitude to all my teachers: Mark Freeth, Hamish Hendry, Paul Dallaghan, Harmony Slater, Jeff Lichty, Neil Baker, Sharath Jois, Fiona Pullen, Jillian Pransky, Leslie Howard, Melissa Cooper Margolin, Maia Heiss & Pranidhi Vashney.


One of the dreams I had that was never quite realized was that I wanted to be an opera singer. The track above is actually from my first year recital, the only one I had. They taped it, to my present delight, as it's one of the only remnants I have left of a dream I once had. I don't really regret the change to art, it was the right thing to do, but I really do love music, opera especially. I had a top spot in the college because my voice sounded unusually deep and expansive. It was a really bad year for me, but some great things came out of it anyway.
I listened to the whole thing. I had no idea. That was beautiful.
Please don't give up on singing, it would be a really big shame.
I will always sing! I may even go back into lessons for opera style again, but I will always sing.
Sang quite a bit today in fact.

HOME > STUDIES > READING NOTES > Becoming an Effective Leader > CHAPTER 17
The Perils of Being the Best
Too often, competent leaders who have a history of finding effective solutions disregard the input of others. These are highly insightful mean, who have generally risen to the top for their competence, but have often made bad decisions due to their failure to solicit the input of others, even when the others are "lesser men" than the leader himself.
A lone problem-solver can't match the diversity of knowledge and perspectives of the unit assigned to him. A multi-person unit can also engage in "parallel processing," to share workload among members to accomplish more in a shorter amount of time, or subdivide a difficult task into several smaller parts that can be worked simultaneously.
A quote from a Nobel laureate: "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in trouble." A person who is in this position will have difficulty trusting the advice of others (or even seeking it). However, most people who assume that they are in this position are actually mistaken.
Unfortunately, people will defer to a person who is in a position of authority. A study is cited where nurses followed the orders of a research presented to them as an attending physician, even when they should have known that it was wrong to do so. At heart, giving someone an order is the opposite of asking them to think about what they are doing - by its nature, it instructs them not to think, just do.
A leader who goes it alone also tends to alienate his staff and peers, and ends up taking on more than he intended: relieved of their responsibility for the decision, his staff will generally feel that they are not responsible for making it happen, and will generally wait on orders rather than acting on their own initiative when they see things going awry. The analogy is of a copilot who decides to take a nap when his captain has taken on the full task of flying the aircraft.
The bottom-line recommendation isn't to run a business as a democracy, or implement a joint decision-making process by default, but to consider the sagacity of taking the opposite route and acting autocratically.

Abstract: This study documents the information literacy skills of college freshmen at a mid-size comprehensive university. It also examines the association between students' information literacy skills and their writing abilities as well as their overall performance in a class. A major finding of the study is that information literacy skills were positively correlated with both student writing scores and final course grades. The findings of this study call for well-integrated library instruction programs and services to improve student information literacy skills.

Why I Love Team Fortress 2
Story time! I'll warn you though, it's a love story, and not just about how much I love this silly, bloody game.
Team Fortress 2. It's an FPS (First Person Shooter) game on the PC. It's by Valve, aka the Steam Guys or the Half Life Guys or the Portal Guys and it's really, really good.
Growing up, I was never a PC gamer. I had consoles. I had - have - a lot of consoles. I grew up alternating between Sonic and Mario and never truly engaged in the ridiculous console wars of the 1990s. My first PC game of any merit was Sim City 2000, but the PC was always something for work or, later, the internet, and never really for gaming.
I confess, I hated PC gaming.
I hated the constant upgrades needed to stay relevant. I hated how difficult things were, back then, to run. I hated that you had to install things and change settings to suit your machine. Heck, even on the old Amstrad we had when I was super young, all you had to do was type "run disk" and bam!, you were gaming. PC gaming was a dumb chore and I just never really cared to look into it.
Until TF2.
Valve are an amazing company who go all out when they're pushing one of their games, and TF2 of course was no exception. They released videos introducing us to the characters in TF2, which were gorgeous, fully animated shorts. I stumbled across one for the Sniper, and let's just say I was in love!
I realised they'd released a few other videos for the characters, but I kept replaying this one over and over. The humour was perfect, the animation was just perfect and I was just absolutely hooked. I had to try out this game! It suddenly didn't matter that I'd never liked any FPS, or that it was a, ugh, PC game - I had to have it! So, that Christmas I had one thing and one thing only on my wish-list. A new PC. A computer capable of, I dunno, handling video games maybe?
Yep, on Christmas Day, I had purchased The Orange Box (the set of Valve games that TF2 was released with) and by mid afternoon I was downloading it. By Christmas evening, I was playing on an empty server with some friends who already owned it. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was in love.
TF2 became my go-to game. It was simple to pick up, as difficult as you wanted it to be and downright fun to be a part of. We explored the servers together and spent far too long on novelty maps like Balloon Race, Convoy and Mario Kart.
Eventually, we stumbled across a server on Wireplay called ctf_vikings, and sure enough the map lived up to its name. Two giant Viking ships formed most of the play area, with planks between the two of them, giant canons that launched you into the sky and a killer fish in the sea. It was dumb and kind of (very) ugly, but there was a community there of regulars who chatted across the teams and it became my nightly hangout - pretty soon I was as regular as any of 'em.
It's funny really, back then I was so unsure of myself with online gaming. I really didn't play games online so the community aspect was something new and exciting to me. I was happy to meet people and chat to everybody on Vikings by typing, but I was well aware of how dumb the internet can be to 'omg gurl gamers' and wanted to avoid that nonsense like the plague. I wanted people to become my friend because they liked me, for me, and not because I was a girl. For weeks, I was a regular on Vikings, helped form our "not a clan!", the PoA (Pantheon of Awesome), and got really friendly with a bunch of people there, but I never confessed I was a girl. I never lied or mislead anybody, it wasn't a purposeful thing. It just didn't come up, really, and I wasn't going to announce it unprovoked. It was, as far as I was concerned, irrelevant. These guys were my buddies. We killed each other and ate virtual sandwiches together. It was great.
Eventually, I was chatting to one of my American friends from Vikings and it just came up that I was maybe kinda actually sort of a girl, and he was absolutely gobsmacked. Gobsmacked, but otherwise unperturbed! I realised then that the reason I'd taken such a shine to the regulars on Vikings was because they, for the most part, actually weren't idiots. We were friends. Maybe only virtual ones who had a friendship formed out of murder and intel capping, sure, but friends nonetheless. The PoA was a Pantheon of Awesome, after all. I 'came out' to the server, that night, by using my voice for the very first time in mic chat. After the initial "a girl on the internet??" joking, everyone settled down and resumed bloody murder. It was perfect.
Vikings became my virtual hang out spot. It was the place I'd spend my evenings when I couldn't be with my IRL friends (most of whom played TF2 with me now, anyway!) Some evenings it really was more a virtual chat room than a shooting game, but it was always daft and fun. Vikings would be the place we'd go when the game had a fun new update, the place we'd try out new weapons and techniques. Sure, we'd go to other servers together, but Vikings was the place we all called 'home'.
And the reason TF2, and especially ctf_vikings, is especially special to me? Well, it's where I met the guy I'm kind of crazy about right now. Somewhen in early 2009, though I don't remember first noticing him, a guy called Cauldron Moose! joined the server. He was an old time regular, apparently, and tells me fondly that the first thing he ever heard me say was "Since when did this become a Sniper pissing contest?" - which is every bit as romantic and fitting as I'd like it to be.
We ended up playing together every night, just like all the regulars, really. When May Expo (London Comic Con) came around, I suggested that he and our other Vikings buddy Wrath should come along and check it out. I think I was cosplaying as the Sniper when Moose turned up, as you do at this sort of convention. The second I saw him, my heart did a little embarrassed flutter, but he was a fair bit younger than me and I was just being daft, so I brushed it off.
In August, we arranged a mini Vikings meetup when a Dutch player came along to London for a short holiday. Truth be told, I think he came over because he had a thing for me, but honestly by that point I only had eyes for Moose. By then, we were chatting every single night, texting each other and staying up until the birds started chirping. We met up again at Expo in October, and again I realised I was nuts about this guy. It was painful! It was this absolutely dumb, pointless infatuation, because there was no way this young, handsome guy would be interested in some older girl he met on TF2, right?
Wrong! Be still my beating heart, in January 2010 Moose suggested he should come visit me (after numerous hints on the subject!) so we arranged a day in Bath to hang out and I went there with my heart on my sleeve, forcing myself to treat this as 'just a friendly meetup' while desperately hoping it would be anything but.
I was terrified. To quote my old Livejournal entry on the subject:
Well, long story short, it was a date. We went to see Book of Eli (awful movie) and mooched around Bath and I spent the rest of the year feeling like the cat that got the cream.
Four and a half years on and we're still together, still rocking the long distance relationship sadly but still gaming together and enjoying each other's company every day. He's the guy I want my future with, someone I just want to share my life with. We've already made some killer memories together, and I aim for so many more, and it absolutely blows my mind that I'd not have even met him had it not been for TF2.
The PoA doesn't really exist anymore, but a bunch of us still hang out every night on Teamspeak, where we all play Wildstar or League of Legends or Minecraft or Starbound together.
And TF2, of course. The game has changed monumentally since I started playing it, with new game modes, weapons and ridiculous cosmetics that ruined the graphical theme goddamn it (rant for another time, man), but Vikings is still there, and we still play there from time to time.
To so many people, TF2 is just a daft 'hat simulator', a cartoony FPS that doesn't take itself seriously. It changed the world for me, though. It got me into online gaming, gave me some wonderful friends and introduced me to the love of my life.
And all because of an Australian crazed gunman assassin.
Thanks, Valve! I owe ya <3


There are 12 pieces in all. Some are Brown and Sharpe, some are not. The 7 in the first photo are quite nice. They have knurled handles. The sizes are stamped in them and are as follows.
The 4 in the next photo are a little rough. The sizes are as follows.


I received a text from a fishing buddy that wanted to start the year off right with his first trout of 2015 and I was of the same mind. Some guys can be hard to fish with, but Brandyn is a great angler, not to mention easy-going and considerate.
While I was thinking we'd just prematurely rung the last-call bell, Brandyn said he'd fish his new dilapidated custom 7′ rod and make the most of the two guides he had left. This wasn't the worst idea, as evidenced below. We both found a half-dozen fish each, on 8 different flies. Suffice to say, the usual suspects for winter fishing are worth trying: baetis, midges, stones, and annelids. The most activity has been in the afternoons when things warm up a bit.
We need snow. Bad. Real bad. While I'd rather be reporting that the snowpack is so deep that fishing now it just more work than it's worth, it was still a glorious day away from the hustle of life.

This quote came from another blog I check out frequently; clearly we really need these next few months to pick it up!
So true. I myself am praying for heavy snow to begin the process of leaving this drought behind us. Without heavy precipitation, next year will be simply awful.

A Message to Our Community: COVID-19 Vaccine
Dr. David Fagan, Medical Director
In 1952, polio ravaged the country, with over 20,000 Americans, mostly children, paralyzed. Public pools and movie theaters closed and windows were shut in the heat of the summer. Parents feared their kids would have to live in iron lungs to breathe. On April 12, 1955, millions gathered around their radios to hear the announcement that Jonas Salk's polio vaccine was safe and effective. Church bells rang out as family members embraced, hopeful at last.
We are now faced with another dangerous pandemic, COVID-19, which has killed over a million people worldwide, closed schools and businesses, and kept us away from sports, entertainment, and our friends and family. While we all know that face-mask wearing and social distancing are essential, many people worry about the disruption in our children's education, the economy, and our mental well-being.
Fortunately, the unprecedented effort to quickly discover a COVID-19 vaccine has paid off. In Pfizer's clinical trial, 170 of the 40,000 volunteers got COVID-19 but only 8 of those had received the vaccine. Only 1 of the 10 severe cases had gotten the Pfizer vaccine. Moderna had similar results with 30,000 volunteers and 95 getting the virus, with only 5 who received the vaccine. None who had the Moderna vaccine became severely ill. While the trials were completed quickly, scientific standards were followed and no shortcuts were made. The high prevalence of COVID-19 allowed enough people in the trials to catch the virus and give us these results sooner.
Side effects are expected to occur in 10-15% of people vaccinated including fatigue, muscle, and joint aches, headaches, and pain or redness at the injection site, typically going away after one or two days. People should expect to be somewhat more uncomfortable than with the typical flu shots and consider taking the next day off from work. These symptoms are all signs that the vaccine is working. No long term side effects have been seen in vaccine trials. A second dose is required in three to four weeks before the vaccine will protect you.
In deciding whether to get the vaccine, compare the risk of one or two days of tiredness and aches with the known COVID-19 risks of heart and lung damage, strokes, and potentially death. A study showed that 2 months after being hospitalized with the virus, one-third of people still had trouble breathing. Experts all agree that getting COVID-19 is far more dangerous than any potential risk from the vaccine. It is safe for people who have had COVID-19 to get vaccinated, and vaccination remains important since those who had a mild illness may not be immune from getting re-infected.
New Hampshire has a detailed plan for vaccinations including 4 phases: initially health care workers, first responders, and then those in long-term care facilities or with high-risk health conditions. This first group will be followed by teachers, child-care workers, essential industry workers, and older adults. Finally, children, young adults, and then the entire public will be eligible. It will likely be April before everyone has an opportunity to be vaccinated. Thus, it is critical that we all continue to maintain social distancing and wear masks over both nose and mouth to prevent further increases in the spread of COVID-19 while we wait for a vaccine.

Peter Debella and I at Peter Debella Jeep Parts in Riverhead, Long Island.
On Saturday, we got cultured with Karson. First, we joined the rest of Manhattan and half of Connecticut when we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It has been almost exactly thirty years since I'd last seen the museum at age 17. I'm pretty sure in the past thirty years the museum has doubled in size. Well, that or my 47 year old legs are a little more tired than they should be. I guess that's the downside of spending the last three months either traveling or writing. I look forward to getting back into shape when we return to Pasco.
This was my wife's idea. That's all I"m saying.
After the museum, we braved the cold and rain as Karson led us to his favorite noodle shop in Chinatown near the Manhattan bridge. The place was a hole-in-the wall with barely enough for the three of us, let alone the twenty three people who squeezed into the tiny lobby to escape the rain. I handed Karson a twenty dollar bill and told him to order enough dumplings for us. I was surprised to see him return with twenty dumplings and beef pancake, along with fifteen dollars in change. The food was awesome! We quickly gobbled through it, so I ordered more. $6.50 later we had more dumplings and another beef pancake. Who would have thought that we'd roll out of the tiny lobby stuffed with great tasting food for under twelve dollars! Well done Karson!
On Monday we dropped off Karson at his 'home' (an Extended Stay Inn), exchanged good byes, and headed to meet with Peter Debella. Peter runs Peter Debella Jeep Parts. He invited Ann and I out to see some of the jeeps and parts he has.
This unlucky parts jeep got hit by a falling tree during a storm.

Henry performing 'toppage' on a Jeepster . . .
Ann and I awoke to a rainy morning in Ronks, PA. I'm not certain Ronks is a town, but it's definitely a street. I do know for certain there's a Waffle House off of Ronks street because we ate dinner there last night, because I wanted some grits: scrambled eggs, bacon and grits to be exact. Yeah, I know their butter is really hydrogenated oil coupled with other ingredients requiring a chemistry masters to decipher; I enjoyed my grits just the same.
Our goal today was Bill Reiss' Lime Street Carriage in downtown Lancaster. Ronks is only a short drive away, so it didn't take long for us to get there. When we arrived at Bill's, he showed us around his current showroom of jeeps (and other vehicles) for sale. He explained that he's in the middle of a renovation. His building was formerly a Studebaker dealership and other businesses. He laughed about the seven layers of carpet and three false ceilings he's torn out of one area of the building. That's opened up a great deal of space. Even though there's plenty of work left, it's easy to see how great the space will be when he's done.
Here are Bill and I checking out a few of the jeeps in his shop. There are several 2As and a CJ-5 lined up there.
Here are twins Norm (on the left) and Norma. Norma is named Norma, because she's prettier.
Bill has this vintage truck for sale.

It's not clear to me why the passenger sits so low in the Crosley.
We started out our morning in Hershey, Pennsylvania, by driving to the Antique Automobile Club of America's museum (aka: AACA). It was Brian who first suggested we visit it. The museum is actually two museums, the AACA's collection uses the upper two floors and the Museum of Bus Transportation is on the bottom floor.
The outside of the AACA Museum / Museum of Bus Transportation.
The Kissmobile was gone when we left the museum, so I was glad we stopped for a picture before we went inside.
The contrast between the two museums was interesting. The AACA's exhibits are highly crafted. The volume of vehicles they show isn't large, each car is is placed within a context. Even the colors seemed coordinated with the backgrounds. Here are some pics of the AACA.
On other hand, the buses of the Bus Museum on the bottom floor were packed next to one another with little context. I wished we could have boarded a few of them and looked around (though I understand why they don't let people do that). The wall of the Bus Museum contains a long and detailed look at the history of buses which seemed well done.
1912 White Truck: The oldest running motorcoach in the world. It used flames for headlights and ran on solid rubber tires.
My best Forrest Gump impersonation. This bus was used in the movie.
This bus history runs the entire length of the museum.
The AACA does have a couple jeeps (according to one employee we spoke with), but they aren't on display. We did find an American Bantam and a Crosely, so we made sure to get some pictures!
After buying a t-shirt and hat, we left the AACA. We hadn't one more than half-a-mile when my wife spotted a 'must-take' picture. Of course, that meant I had to find a place to double back. Once we found the 'mast-take' place, we discovered that one of us had left the camera in the AACA museum. Now, I'm not gonna say it was my fault, but I might have been the one who put it down when I paid for the shirt and hat. Fortunately, when we sheepishly returned to the museum, we found the camera safely in the care of the museum staff. WHEW!
Our second big adventure of the day was the chocolate museum. I use the term chocolate museum even though there is no museum in Hershey by that name. In this case our poor research led to lots of confusion. I won't launch into the back tracking, confusion, and frustrated expletives I shared with Siri, but I later had to apologize to my iPhone.
The problem is that a great number of things are named Chocolate or Hershey in the city of Hershey. So, it's confusing to know when Hershey refers to the town, the company or the man. It turns out there are two chocolate related 'museums'. One museum, called the Hershey Story, covers the town and it includes a chocolate lab and a chocolate bar (with 'shots' of chocolate made from around the world).
Inside the Hershey Story Museum.
Six different chocolates made from cocoa beans from six different countries. Yum!
This was taken inside the chocolate lab.
We got to design our own chocolate bar. My jeep bar was delicious!
After the Hershey Story Museum, we thought some real food was in order. We tried a Vietnamese Restaurant on Chocolate Avenue East of downtown called Miss Saigon. If you like good Pho, I definitely recommend it.
On Thursday we meet with Bill from Lime Street Carriage in Lancaster. We ought to have a good jeep picture or two from that experience.

I'd plan to et more posts done tonight, but time got away from me. So, here's a big post to sum up our Tuesday. We will spend Wednesday in Hershey, PA. We have plans for Thursday in Lancaster and Friday morning in Kempton, PA. From there we will be driving to Long Island on Friday and meeting up with my son (unless they ship him out to Oklahoma). We'll be staying in the Sea Cliff area through Tuesday morning and then driving up to Connecticut. I hope to have a map update in the next couple of days.
Merlin and Ann driving in a 1941 MB down a forgotten Maryland road.
This morning I finished version one of the Amber Panels of Konigsberg book (YEAH!). I still need to build one graphic and dump the text into the formatted book template, but then I'll be sending it to the publisher for printing. I plan to do a limited run of fifty books as a "Bantam Festival Special". LIke the last book, I'm sure there are a few errors that people will find. Once I fix the text, I'll open the book up for general sales (sometime in mid-July?).
After we left Gettysburg today, we drove a few miles east to Tom's house to check out his Truck and Wagon. Tom's 1948 truck is his daily driver. He's added some disc brakes and a Ford 302, so it's got some power and stopping speed. He also rebuilt the entire rear bed and it looks great!
The wagon is a cheap beast he bought that his son now plays with. It's got lots of rust issues, but runs good.
Tom offered to buy us lunch at Scozzaros Old Mill Inn, so he and I took off in his truck, while Ann followed. We soon found ourselves traveling along the Lincoln Highway, which turn 100 years old this year.
At the restaurant, Ann and I enjoyed both our time with Tom and the food. I had a delicious steak sandwich and Ann had great tasting polish sausage sandwich. Though we both rolled away from the restaurant full from the portion sizes, we didn't have to eat again until very late. Thanks for lunch and the present Tom!
From Tom's house, we drove down to Westminster, MD, where we met up with Merlin of Hanson Mechanical. Merlin and I have been exchanging emails for several years now and it was great to finally shake his hand and see his operation.

Adam, Me and Frank inside the large shop that houses their collections.
On Monday we took full advantage of a lazy morning and didn't leave the motel until the crack of noon. Our first stop was Hunts Battlefield Fries and Cafe, a place just south of downtown known (according to the internet) for it's fresh fries and good burgers. True to our internet source's information, the fries were good and there were a lot of them! Ann had a grilled ham/cheese/bacon sandwich that she enjoyed. I had a burger with a good bun and tasty meat. They put no extras on the burger . . . maybe I was supposed to ask for them? It was good anyway.
After lunch we drove to the Gettysburg Battlefield National Park Visitor's Center. It's a beautiful new structure. While the surrounding park is free, the museum, the cyclorama and the movie at the visitor's center costs money. We tried all three and liked the movie the best. After the movie we were whisked upstairs to see the cyclorama. We wished they'd explained what a cyclorama was and underscored how old the cyclorama's painting was before the show began rather than at the end.
The museum had several groups of school kids completing assignments, so we moved through it rather quickly. It didn't hit us until near the end of the museum that the different areas of the museum represented each day of the Gettysburg battle. I think it would have been useful to have a sense of nightfall and sunrise as people pass from Day 1 to Day 2 and Day 2 to Day 3.
After enjoying the park and the city of Gettysburg, we brushed aside the civil war in favor of another jeep experience. We headed over to visit Frank at his home, which was just a few miles north of Gettysburg. Frank had explained that he had some jeeps for us to see.
Entrusting our visit to Siri (iPhone), I asked her to get me directions to Frank's house. All was going well until we turned into Frank's long driveway. At that point, Siri warned us to park the vehicle and walk. Ann and I turned to each other and started cracking up. Apparently, Siri was concerned about our well-being and felt we were too far off the road. We were convinced Siri would start yelling "Danger, Danger" and start assimilating us to force us to turnaround. Eventually, I had enough of Siri's warnings and shut her down.
We finally found Frank and his son Adam at their shop where they keep their collections. As Ann and I marveled at the beauty of the shop, the surrounding barns, and the rolling landscape, Frank explained that he owned three hundred acres of land. He called it a slice of heaven. We could not argue with that description.
Frank and Adam gave us a tour of their collections. As you can see in the pictures, they've assembled some great stuff. There jeep collection includes a few original paintings, five military jeeps, toys, models, and a CJ-2A they are restoring. They enjoyed sharing their collection with us and we felt honored to be invited. It's a beautiful place. Here are a few photos.

I'm taking the night off. Tuesday morning I'll resume regular updates.
We left Hudson, Ohio, and wound our way through Pennsylvania to Gettysburg. Along the way the toll roads lightened our wallets to the point we were considering taking out a bank loan. In addition, we encountered clouds that were as thick as fog as we traversed a few tall hills. Isn't it summer yet?
Through Priceline we got a killer deal of $51/night at a Marriott hotel, so we plan to stay two nights in Gettysburg. Tomorrow we will see the Gettysburg battlefield and then tour the town a bit.
Gerald forwarded a few photos he took from the Willys Reunion. The first one is from Derek's presentation. It shows Liz Taylor on a CJ-2A.
This one was also from Derek's presentation and shows a Pope mobile.
These three photos were from the Sunday run into the Cuyahoga National Park.

We spent all of Wednesday at Ann's Great Aunt Alice's place in Greenville, Ohio. It felt good not to drive at all. This morning we were back on the road. Our ultimate destination was Hudson, but our initial objective was the Kitchen Aide Experience.
I knew nothing about the Kitchen Aide Experience, so I didn't know what to expect. I pictured it as part tour and part museum in the Kitchen Aide factory itself. Instead, it's giant Kitchen Aide store where you can buy new or used Kitchen Aide products of every color and kind. Downstairs there are some beautiful refurbed mixers and blenders. Those 'in the know' tell us the refurbs are actually better than the new ones. They certainly were better prices.

That's the former Willys Overland Smokestack behind me. As you can see, there isn't much left of the old Willys plant.
Note . . . On Tuesday we had a very busy day. This is a huge post.
We started the morning bidding a fond farewell to Brian, who'd opened his home to us for several days (Thanks!).
Brian and I posing behind his beautiful 1923 Buick. Unfortunately, it was so cold, we couldn't take it out for a ride.
One of the places Brian recommended we visit before we left was a bakery in Fenton, MI, called CRUST. As soon as I looked up the website and examined their menu, I was hooked. Most of their breads are made with starters rather than commercial baking yeast. So, I HAD to visit the place. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. Everything looked so good, we walked out of there $37 poorer. I can't recommend the place highly enough.
After the bakery we'd planned to head for the Ford Museum. But, at the last minute, we changed our minds. I knew we had to be down in Ohio by dinner time, so I was concerned we'd have to rush through museum. Instead, we had the opportunity to take our time to drive south. It proved to be the right decision.
As we drove south, Ann's cousin recommended we visit the River Raisin Battlefield National Park in Monroe, MI, from which the War of 1812's "Remember the Raisin" call-to-action originated. At the battle of River Raisin the Americans thought they'd won, but then the Brits & Indians regrouped and beat the US troops. American's were shocked by the loss, hence the rallying cry of Remember the Raisin. Ann's cousin claims that one of the men captured was a distant relative of Ann's. To capture the feeling of Ann's relative, I put her behind bars.

UPDATE: Thanks to Lester for correcting me on my boat models. I mistakenly called a Battleship a Destroyer. I mentioned my mistake to my wife and she assured me that she knew the difference.
On Saturday morning May 11, we hoped to escape the cold of Northern MIchigan's Mackinaw City by driving south. Our goal was Brian's house in Fenton, MI, where he planned to take us out to dinner at the French Laundry (more on that tomorrow). He's outdone himself with his generosity and hospitality, so many thanks to him!
Our first stop was the Antique Toy and Firehouse Museum in Bay City, MI. I can't remember how I learned about this museum, but it was a wonderful treat.
When we arrived, there was only two other vehicles in the parking lot. We took a few pictures of the outside and headed into pay. When we stepped inside the door, the till was there, but non one was around to take our money. I yelled, but didn't get an answer. I checked the door to make sure the open side said 'open' and it did. I checked the prices and discovered it cost $7 per adult, but they were running a mother's day weekend special, so Ann didn't have to pay. Therefore, I laid $7 on the till and we began our tour.
Wow. There were toy automobiles neatly arranged everywhere. We'd later learn that more than 12,000 toy vehicles were displayed. Another 4,000 were awaiting display. As Ann and looked around a man in a scooter and a young boy appeared, said hi, then went to the front. We told them we'd paid, and the man didn't say much, he just continued to the front.
As we made additional progress through the different rooms a man in a wheel chair appeared. He was very friendly and began to explain the history of the different items. After a while, it became apparent that this wasn't just a museum, it was one man's collection: Jim Dobson. The man who was helping us (I missed his name) pointed out one wall where Jim had placed signs related to some of the companies he'd founded or been involved with. It was a long list.

Well it worked. I wished the rain away and we didn't see any all day. However, I forgot to wish the cold away. But, I'll take the cool temperatures over the rain.
Today, Friday May 10th, our goal was to drive to the Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point near Paradise, MI, where a light saving beacon has been maintained in one form or another since 1849.
On our way to the museum, we encountered a couple different jeeps. One was in the form of a wooden jeep at a Big Boy Burger restaurant in Manistique, MI. This one included a slide. Ann tried real hard to get a shot of me on the slide. Unfortunately, our memory card lost the pictures I took of the front of the wood jeep (time for new memory card).
The next jeep we saw at an old motel near Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Michigan. There was a dog near the jeep that wasn't too happy to see me taking photos, so I kept my distance. It looks like someone took the time to fabricate a custom hardtop.
We finally reached the Shipwreck museum around 2pm. It was later than I expected to be there by at least one hour, because we crossed into another pesky time zone. I always thought Michigan was in the Central Time Zone. It turns out I was wrong.
The museum costs $13/per adult. However, if you have an active military ID, you can bring one person in free. However, they don't advertise that fact, so you'll have to ask about it. We had a nice time looking around the exhibits. There are plenty of harrowing stories of sailors freezing, drowning, and dying. To be fair, many people were saved by life saving crews as well. If you are in the area, it's worth dropping by to see. The fact that of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least 200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point underscores the importance of alerting sailors to the dangers of the area.
Here we are at Lake Superior. You can just see Canada behind us in the distance.

Our goal for today (Sunday) was to reach Theodore Roosevelt National Park at the western edge of North Dakota. Since we spent most of our time driving through Eastern Montana, I'd love to share that experience with you, but I had my nose buried in my computer, so I didn't see much. Occasionally, Ann would point out something of interest and I would look up. But, I had my reading glasses on, so everything looked pretty blurry beyond the car. However, the weather was beautiful and sunny, the temperatures a perfect seventy degrees. Fortunately, she didn't see too much interesting either. Just lots of rolling grassy hills. I can see why cowboys like it here.
I have to say that I will gladly take those endless grassy hills and the sunny weather over last week's weather along I-94: it was closed due to a blizzard. Yikes!
Around 3:30pm we reached the campground at the National Park. We found a nice campsite and got it set up, before touring the 25(?) miles long loop trail.
The TR National Park is known for its Badlands, its bison, its grasslands and its solitude. We got a bunch of each. We meandered along the road, running into Bison every mile or so. After driving for a while, we found Buck hill, which yielded some beautiful vistas.
By the time we had driven an hour, we neared the end of the loop when we encountered the pirates. One pirate stuck out from the top of the silver ship (read cheap compact Mazda(?)). Her hair blew in the wind as she cheered her man pirate to victory. On the other side of the road was an idiot waving a flat stick the size of a broad sword at a group of Bison. Now, when you see stuff like that happening, you have to ask your self, is it really happening? But, yes, it kept going. The idiot with the sword was waving it at the bison and trying to get them to move back so the female pirate could get his photograph. Satisfied they'd gotten the shot, the idiot pirate turns around and throws the sword at the bison.
One of the South Dakota Pirates. I took a lousy picture, but it still helped the police.
Well, we'd had enough of that show. Ann and I finally reached the two idiots, kids in their early 20s, and told them to knock that S&*T off. Those idiots start flipping us off and yelling back. So, we snapped some pictures of them and bee-lined it straight to the camp host (the park ranger's office was closed). We got the sheriff and state patrol to show up. That's when we learned that the pirates had three other complaints against them. (We also learned that every time you enter and exit the park, a camera snaps your picture).
So, we'll likely never know what happened to the pirates. At least we made new friends with the camp hosts. It was only their first full day, so it was quite exciting for them!
No other updates, because I have no electricity and the wireless is slow here, so I'm not responding to emails over the next 12 hours. We will be heading to Bismark tomorrow where I'll get some posts done, etc. We'll be in St. Paul following that for two days on Wednesday and Thursday.

Saturday May 4th, our two month trip begins! We will be on the road until the end of June.
For the first leg of our East Coast trip our principal objective today was to make it to the Miracle of America Museum just south of Polson, MT. We left Pasco at 10am knowing it would take 5 1/2 hours to drive there and a 1/2 hour stop for lunch (we had to stop for some pho at our favorite place in Coeur D' Alene, ID). Doing the math, we realized we'd arrive at the museum at 4pm, which gave us an hour to look around it before it closed at 5pm. Simple math, yes? . . . Wrong.
The first sign of trouble occurred as we crossed into Montana from Idaho on I-90. I was driving when I spotted a sign that informed us we were Entering Mountain Time Zone. Oh crap! I forgot all about the time change. A quick review of the math meant that we'd arrive at 5pm, just as it closed.
Ann: Hi, how late are you open tonight?
Museum: Depends. Where are you now?
Ann (shocked): We are approaching St. Regis, Montana.
Museum: Ok, I'll keep the museum open for you. I have some paperwork to do anyway.
With that simple phone call, Gil Mangels volunteered to keep his museum open so we could look around the place all by ourselves! I called at 4:40 to update him and say we wouldn't be there until 5:15. He said that wouldn't be a problem.
We finally arrived at 5:20pm, just as the last remaining visitor left. We walked inside and there was Gil ready to take our money ($5 each – BARGAIN!) and explain where everything was. We thanked him for staying open and said we didn't want to use too much of his time. He said just take your time.
We weren't there five minutes before we knew we had a problem. There was so much cool stuff to look at that we couldn't move ourselves along fast enough. Gil and his late wife have done a wonderful job of creating a feast for the eyes. Ann and i were giddy school kids pointing things out to each other, reading stuff, and having a blast. We were there forty five minutes and still hadn't made it through a 1/4 of the complex yet.
We didn't want to impost on Gil, so we chose to go to plan B: See the jeeps real quickly, photograph them, and then return later this summer so we could spend all day looking around the place.
Before we left, we got a chance to spend some time talking with Gil. When we explained about eWillys, Gil explained he grew up on a nearby farm and his parents had an old flattie, but he couldn't remember the model. He said they did everything with it.
Gil belongs to the Military Vehicle Preservation Association and he restored the M-38 below that he proudly displays in one of the rooms. It's a very nice restoration. It was featured in the MVPA and GIl was kind enough to copy the article for me, but I haven't had time to go through it yet.
In addition to the M-38, there are two more M-38A1s, a Slat Grille MB, and a M-151, a Mule, and a Jeepster for visitors to see. There is a Pedal Jeep in the toy section, a few hot wheel-like jeep toys. I also spotted several posters, cards and brochures in the war-related areas.
The Miracle of American museum is a gem. It reminded me of my experience to House on the Rock in Wisconsin, where each corner was a feast for the eyes. But, unlike HOR, there's a better educational and museum experience. I can see why it's been called the Smithsonian of the west. There is enough wonder — cool stuff, historic stuff, and odd ball stuff — to keep a whole family entertained. Military buffs, car buffs, farm buffs, motorcycle buffs, history buffs (how about a whole shed of old washing machines?) will love this place. It is worth the trip, especially since you get to talk to the guy who made it happen.

Our seven week journey was the most memorable trip I've ever taken. There were so many unexpected opportunities only made possible by all the wonderful people we met along the way. We appreciate everyone's patience with our ever changing schedule as folks contacted us and said "if you are near, come visit!" We tried to meet as many people as possible, but at times the timing just didn't work out.
4) We had 0 car problems!
7) Amount of debt from trip — $0. We don't use credit cards.
11) Total amount of fun we had: incalculable!

Jersey City Council Approves Vertical Farming Program For Public Housing Community
March 1, 2021 Smart Cities Connect Community Engagement
The Jersey City Council has approved a Vertical Farming Program, with the first farm to be installed in a public housing community. The agreement, a partnership between AeroFarms, the city, and the Housing Authority, is intended to increase healthy food access and encourage residents to live healthier lifestyles.
The first project's farms will be funded by the city and will be jointly run by the Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), AeroFarms, and Jersey City Housing Authority. The Boys & Girls Club and Head Start Early Childhood Learning programs will also support the produce distribution and provide education about nutrition.
AeroFarms will construct and maintain the farming sites, which use up to 95% less water and no pesticides versus traditional field farming. The city intends to form the JCHA-Aerofarms Advisory Committee to provide strategic oversight and guidance throughout the program.
"As a Certified B Corporation, we applaud Mayor Fulop's leadership and advocacy to bring healthier food options closer to the community, and we are excited to launch together the nation's first municipal vertical farming program that will have a far-lasting positive impact for multiple generations to come," said Co-Founder and CEO of AeroFarms David Rosenberg.
The city's Vertical Farming Program will consist of nine additional vertical farms throughout Jersey City in senior centers, schools, public housing complexes, and municipal buildings. It is expected that the 10 sites will grow 19,000 pounds of vegetables annually. The food will be free to residents if they participate in five healthy eating workshops.
"We've worked hard to keep the Vertical Farming Program a priority despite the impacts from this pandemic, which have disproportionately affected the more economically challenged areas and exacerbated societal issues such as healthy food access," said Mayor Steven Fulop. "We're taking an innovative approach to a systemic issue that has plagued urban areas for far too long by taking matters into our own hands to provide thousands of pounds of locally-grown, nutritious foods that will help close the hunger gap and will have an immeasurable impact on the overall health of our community for years to come."

2019 Golden State Invitational
Record Book (updated 1/9/19)
Div. I All-Time Roster
MEN'S TENNIS KEEPS THINGS CLOSE AT MINNESOTA, BUT EVENTUALLY FALLS
MINNEAPOLIS -- In a match that was much closer than the final score indicated, and saw Sacramento State take five of its six singles matches to three sets, Minnesota defeated the Hornets, 7-0, on Friday afternoon at the Baseline Tennis Center.
Sacramento State forced a third set at Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 singles before eventually falling in each of those matches. In addition, the Hornets were victorious in one of the doubles matches before the Gophers eventually snagged the doubles point.
Playing their second home match of the season, Minnesota improved to 2-2 this year while Sacramento State dropped to 0-3. Today's match marked the first of a three-game road trip that will see the Hornets play their Big Sky Conference opener tomorrow against North Dakota at noon PST. That match will be North Dakota's season opener.
Sacramento State's Mikus Losbergs and Kasparas Zemaitelis kicked things off by winning their match at No. 1 doubles by a score of 6-3. However, Minnesota won at No. 2 (6-2) and No. 3 (6-3) to win the doubles point.
In singles play, the Hornets lost the first set in all six matches, but Sacramento State bounced back to win the second set in five of them. That included junior Mikus Losbergs who was playing the nation's 35th-ranked player Stefan Milicevic. Losbergs took Milicevic to three sets but eventually lost, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2.
Sacramento State's Dom Miller fell at No. 2 by a 6-0, 6-7 (5), 6-4 score while Hermont Legaspi fell at No. 3 (6-3, 1-6, 7-5), Zemaitelis at No. 4 (6-3, 3-6, 6-3) and Louis Chabut at No. 6 (6-3, 3-6, 6-2). Donald Hall fell at No. 5 by a 6-4, 6-2 score.
The Hornets will play back-to-back conference matches on the road, including tomorrow at North Dakota and next Friday at Northern Colorado.

If you have updated to the Windows 10 April update v1803 (or the recent Windows 10 October 2018 Update), you may have the problem which the network computers that usually appear in your Network folder suddenly gone missing after the update. Even the entire HomeGroup or Workgroup are now missing.
We don't yet know what actually causes this to happen. All we know is that the network discovery in Windows 10 seems to not detecting local network devices properly after the update. Here's a list of solutions you can try to resolve the issue.
Updates: Microsoft has officially removed Homegroup feature from Windows 10 since the new April v1803 update. But, that doesn't affect the existing file sharing feature. The only change is that you won't be able to share new files or printers using HomeGroup anymore.
The shared network folders feature will still work. You can still share files like how you would before but without HomeGroup now. Here's an example of how to share a folder to other computers in your network.
Browse to the folder you would like to share.
Select Give access to, then select Specific People.
Select a user account to share.
After selecting the specific user to share the folder to, when you access to this folder from another computer in your home network, you will be prompted to login to that set user account in order to view the file. So, you can create a new account specifically for file sharing in your network. Alternatively, you can also select Everyone when you share.
If you have just updated to the Windows 10 April update and the files you shared prior to this are not showing up, try to re-share them using the method above.
If you have upgraded your PC to Windows 10 v1803, skip this method as the homegroup feature no longer exist in the new update.
This is what we did to fix the problem on our side. We re-setup the entire HomeGroup network. Here's how to set up a HomeGroup in your local network.
Go to Start Menu and search for HomeGroup. Open it.
In the HomeGroup window, click on Create a HomeGroup.
Select what types of items you would like to share in the new HomeGroup. Then click Next.
You will be given a HomeGroup password which will be needed for other computers to join the network.
To add a computer to the newly created HomeGroup network, on the computer which you would like it to join, go to Start Menu and search for HomeGroup.
Click Next. Select types of files you would like shared, then click Next.
Enter the password given in Step 5.
That's it. If you want to add more computers to the network, repeat step 6-9 on other computers.
Also, make sure that all your computers have Internet Protocol Version 6 enabled. It's needed for HomeGroup network to work. To check if it's enabled, go to Start Menu > Control Panel > View network status and tasks > Change adapter settings. Then, right click your internet adapter and select Properties. Make sure the Internet Protocol Version 6 is checked on the list.
If the above fix didn't work out for you, try to update your network adapter's driver. Network computers not showing up can also be caused by outdated network adapter drivers.
To update the driver, go to Start Menu. Search for Device Manager and open it. From the list, expand Network adapters. Right click the network adapter(s) that you used to connect to the internet and connect between your computers, then select Update driver. If you're not sure which is the one your computer is using, update all adapters from the list.
If your Network computers are still not showing up in the Network directory after trying all the above fixes, the final resolution is to reset the network.
In Windows 10, there is a feature called Network Reset which you can use to reset your network and fix connectivity issues by reinstalling your network adapters, resetting your network settings to default, etc all from a single click on a button.
To reset your network, go to Start Menu. Search for Settings. Click on Network & Internet. Scroll down until you see the Network Reset link button. Click on it then click Reset now to reset your network.
This particular problem, we believe, is just one of many bugs that Microsoft didn't expect after releasing the huge Windows 10 v1803 update. When they have collected enough info about the bug, they will release a fix for the problem as soon as they can in the next Windows Update. So, if nothing at all works for you and your Homegroup network computers are still not showing up, wait for the next update.
Description for sharing: Network computers that usually show up in the HomeGroup or WorkGroup Network folder suddenly gone missing from the Network directory, particularly after the recent Windows 10 April v1803 update.

BROCKHAMPTON get us ready for their upcoming album.
BROCKHAMPTON is prepping their fans for the release of their next album, which arrives tomorrow. The group have been through a lot this year, having to figure out how to deal with the controversial Ameer Vann situation. With Ameer now out of the group, members that were featured more in background roles have been given the chance to step up and show their skills. In this case, Matt Champion, Joba, and Merlyn Wood are given the opportunity to open us up to Iridescence.
The album is due to drop on September 21 and we've just received one of the first videos for the project. What was originally called Puppy, and then The Best Years Of Our Lives, has now transitioned into Iridescence. That appears to be its final form as the group is focusing on thermal imaging and flashy visuals. This vibe is significantly different from anything we've heard from them in the past, getting pretty angsty, especially in Joba's section.
Check it out and let us know your thoughts.
'Til the casket drops, I will play God

Hydrology Research (2017) 49 (1): 163-176.
The main Mongolian water resources are lakes whose volume has significantly reduced in recent years as a consequence of global warming. This article presents research on three different types of nearly disposed Western Mongolian lakes with a wide range of brines' composition: Shaazgai-Nuur (soda), Davsan-Nuur (chloride) and Tonhil-Nuur (sulfate). The aim of this study was to determine the differences in geochemical evolution associated with evaporation-crystallization processes of representative lakes of various chemical types. The modelling was performed by using PHREEQC and HCh software that allows application of Pitzer's approach for saline solutions. The modelling was performed for these natural objects for the first time. The model demonstrated that the evaporation-crystallization processes are different for soda and chloride/sulfate brines. Soda type lake maintained unchanged ion composition while chemical composition of chloride and sulfate lakes went through significant alterations according to a sequence of mineral precipitation. The calculated model did not confirm the possibility of long-term transformation from SO4-Mg brines to Cl-Mg due to evaporative concentration only; additional factors including mixing with inflow water also influence sodium and chloride increase. Close agreement between the model and the actual mineralogical data was observed, testifying to the proper software and reliability of our assumptions.

Shout Out: Lisa Goldberg, a founding member of K9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore
By Karen Ann Cullotta
Lisa Goldberg, a special education aide at Stevenson High School, helped start the nonprofit K9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore.
As a special education aide at Stevenson High School, Lisa Goldberg is well aware of the academic, emotional and social benefits that happen when students read in the company of therapy dogs.
Pioneer Press recently caught up with Goldberg, 56, who is one of the founding members of K9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore. Goldberg is celebrating the nonprofit's 10th anniversary during the "K-9 Pup Strut and Expo" May 5 at Sunset Woods Park in Highland Park.
Q: Did you grow up with a dog?
A: Yes, I grew up in Glenview and I had a dog from the time I was 8 years old, a poodle. Over the years, I've had four golden retrievers, so when I first heard about therapy dogs, I thought it sounded really interesting. My sister-in-law bought me some books on the subject, and I was very intrigued. My background is teaching, and I've worked with kids forever. So at the time, I decided that I'd train my next golden (retriever) to be a therapy dog.
Q: How did K9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore get started?
A: I'd been visiting nursing homes with my therapy dog when I met a group of people from Highland Park. There were five of us, and one of them used to bring a therapy dog to read with kids at a library when she lived in Wisconsin, and she said the kids loved it. So, we all met at Starbucks and brainstormed to develop our own reading-to-dogs program to get kids motivated to read. We held our first event at the Deerfield Library, and after that, began going out to visit schools in Highland Park. We started out with five registered teams, and now we have 45.
Q: Can you tell us how the dogs help motivate kids to read?

A: Well, we work toward the goal of increased reading fluency, but we also teach the kids the correct way to approach a dog, and how not to be afraid. If a child is afraid, I'll sit on the ground next to them with my dog to help them build confidence. I also use the dog as a tool to direct questions. I'll say things like, "Maggie didn't understand that. Can you say it again?" What starts to happen is the roles begin to change, and the child reading becomes the "teacher," and the dog becomes the student. The community has made us feel so welcome these past 10 years. It's been a wonderful journey for all of us and for the therapy dogs.
Shout Out is a weekly feature in which we introduce readers to their fellow community members and local visitors throughout suburban Chicago.
