In working with natural mind body medicine it is necessary to engage the feeling heart-mind along with the rational intellect. Understanding the human being holistically is both an art and a science. Self healing requires both mundane knowledge and inner knowing and perception. So while the functions of the brain are fascinating, the new science is moving towards an understanding of the "second brain", that of the heart's consciousness.
In yogic terms, the kind of thinking which is processed in the heart chakra and above is of a higher order than the baser survival instincts and desires for pleasure of the lower centres. In Buddhism, the observation of the mind leads naturally to a more compassionate worldview only when the heart is connected to all living things.
Now neuroscience is catching on with some powerful breakthroughs which are adding to the burgeoning momentum for the shift to a new holistic paradigm.
Natural therapies students are sometimes asked to discuss the three aspects of body, mind and soul or spirit which are frequently used without much thought to their differentiation or lack thereof. In addressing the question of souls, many people are left reaching for worn out religious ideologies or new age touchstones which serve only to further obscure the understanding of the soul. What people can get genuinely in touch with, though, is the level of feeling which convinces them of the existence of their own soul and connects them to others so definitively that there is no doubt that all beings also have this deep well within.
The feeling of being connected to others is one of the better qualities of the human condition. Under extreme stress, when people are forced into their lower, more self centred aspects, they can feel isolated, separate from others, rejected, unloved, even hateful and unfeeling. Humans in that sort of condition are capable of visiting terrible atrocities on others, as they completely lack compassion and empathy.
In the process of healing, the mind can lift up from the fog and heaviness and one of the first desires to spring back into gear is the urge to connect. We all share the desire to understand and be understood by another. It is massively healing to feel understood whether by a therapist, friend, colleague, parent or partner.
Feeling connected to just one person often also changes the small interactions of life in a society, as we begin to see that everyone is special, unique and to be valued. With this realisation comes sensitivity, respect for others and the ability to form meaningful relationships. From there springs forth a bigger picture, a sense of connection to the natural world of plants and animals. Eventually, the whole cosmos feels friendly again.
Albert Einstein said (and Bruce Lipton paraphrased) the biggest decision a person makes is to decide whether the universe is supportive or antagonistic. From the subtle mind to the cellular level this decides whether you are in a state of growth or defence. If everything outside yourself is your enemy, there will be no relaxation, and hence no opportunity to heal. If you decide the universe is benevolent, you can see the gifts in even the most trying circumstances. The yogis perceived that the mental propensity for hope is processed in the heart chakra. The heart, so easily hurt, is crucial to healing on every level.
Science is now understanding that what you feel influences what you think which influences the biochemistry within your body. Dr Candace Pert PhD in Molecules of Emotion gives a detailed insight into the growing field of psychoneuroimmunology or the mind, body and spirit interface. She does not shy away from incorporating spirituality and science and for that she is much lauded as a frontrunner in the field.
In neurocardiology, the University of Montreal's Dr J. Andrew Armour has studied the extensive mass of neurons in the heart and likened it to a "second brain". He first introduced the concept of a functional heart consciousness or heart brain in the mid '90s. At the time, it was confounding to the establishment to concede what his research proved, that the heart can act independently of the brain. He showed that it is possible, and may even be beneficial to think from the heart.
A mass of neurons with a separate yet connected consciousness is exactly what the yogis were describing over 7000 years ago when they perceived the chakra system. In yogic physiology, the thousands of channels for consciousness to travel through (nadi) merge at seven major points along the spine. Modern medicine agrees that these areas are nerve centres or plexi. Now they are agreeing, too, that feelings and thoughts are processed at these areas and affect the chemical signals through the nervous system. So physiological changes such as hormone levels and organ function can be detected with variations in the states of mind the individual experiences.
California's Heartmath Institute has conducted research which verifies the way the changing rhythms of the heart brain influence how the thinking brain functions. If you've ever tried to sit an exam after a fight with a loved one, you will know that how you feel dramatically affects how you think. HeartMath is putting this knowledge to pragmatic use in schools across the US, teaching children basic relaxation and meditation techniques to take mastery over their feelings, lower stress levels and learn optimally.
In The HeartMath Solution Doc Childre and H. Martin offer an exciting scientific look at the heart's association with the mind and the body. They describe the heart as a complex, self organised system that maintains a two way dialogue with the brain and the rest of the body. Their findings are cutting edge but scientifically valid, having been published in major medical journals.
It may seem like society is flipping completely from its previously held paradigm of material science, but wise thinkers have been expressing these truths for thousands of years. In fact, many scientific breakthroughs have come through listening to the heart or intuitive mind rather than through pure intellect and reason.
Greek philosopher Aristotle, who died 322 years before Christ was born, wrote, "Intuition is the source of scientific knowledge." Albert Einstein made many references to intuition and its importance. He said, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift." In his own groundbreaking research, he allowed his heart brain to lead him into new territory. Einstein also wrote, "I believe in intuition and inspiration; at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason."
Dmitri Mendeleev, credited with creating the periodic table of chemical elements would have agreed. Mendeleev was a Russian scientist of the 1870s inspired by love for his mother and his country. As a rigorous academic and gifted teacher, he had a firm foundation in the scientific knowledge of the day, but his advancement of the existing knowledge came, according to legend, in a dream. He awoke from the dream and jotted down the periodic table including the known elements and some gaps for elements which were yet to be discovered. His amazing insight was supported by findings through the 20th century and is still on every chemistry classroom wall today.
The feelings we experience so potently seem to precede our logical rationale for them or even preclude logic at times. As we go through life gathering wisdom, hopefully we learn to trust our feeling, to follow our hearts and let the brain catch up.
Antonio Damasio, a Portugese neuroscientist based at Iowa University, has demonstrated the effect of emotions on brain function in his work with neurological patients. He has found that every decision an individual makes needs an emotional impulse because humans cannot act based purely on reason.
Students and educators, as well as therapists, know that facts with an emotional connection are what we remember. Hence students excel at subjects they feel passionately about.
Damasio's work supports that of Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Robert K. Cooper, author of The Other 90%: How To Unlock Your Vast Untapped Potential For Leadership and Life. Damasio also published a book decrying Descartes' philosophical axiom, "I think, therefore I am." Goleman promoted his book on speaking tours with the catchphrase, "I feel, therefore I am." Cooper works with corporations and leaders in various fields to encourage people to make decisions using all their different sources of intelligence. He writes that many people have learnt to block the gut and heart allowing only the head to lead the way. The new models of business are thankfully embracing leadership with heart and getting the best out of people in the process.
Embracing the old and the new knowledge, drawing wisdom from experience and healing the wounds that prevent people from living up to their full potential, all happen simultaneously in the heart mind.

Last major update issued on September 16, 2005 at 03:30 UTC.
The geomagnetic field was quiet to severe storm on September 15. Solar wind speed ranged between 529 and 960 (all day average 711) km/sec. The leading edge of the CME seen late on September 13 in LASCO images was observed at ACE near 08:35 UTC. There was no proper solar wind shock, however, solar wind speed increased from 550 to 960 km/sec over the next few hours. The geomagnetic disturbance was less intense than had been forecast.
Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 119.4. The planetary A index was 43 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices: 43.1).
Three hour interval K indices: 32356754 (planetary), 42345653 (Boulder).
At midnight there was 1 spotted region on the visible solar disk. The solar flare activity level was high. A total of 11 C, 2 M and 1 X class events was recorded during the day.
Region 10808 decayed further in the trailing spot section and lost spots in the leading spot section immediately ahead of the major penumbra. The main penumbra remains very complex with the negative polarity area in the southern half continuing its westward movement. Another major proton flare is possible as long as the strong delta in the major penumbra persists. Flares: C8.5/1N long duration event peaking at 01:19, M1.3 at 02:12, C2.6 at 05:00, C1.8 at 06:53, impulsive X1.1/2N at 08:38, C1.0 at 10:42, C1.0 at 14:37, C7.1 at 15:17, C5.2 at 15:35, C1.1 at 16:20, C4.8 at 16:51, C2.3 at 18:30, M1.0 at 19:10 and C1.5 at 20:39 UTC. Early on September 16 an M4.4 flare was recorded at 01:49 and an M2.1 event at 02:14 UTC.
September 15: There may have one or two smaller Earth directed CMEs associated with M and X class flares. LASCO data for the day is incomplete.
Coronal holes cannot currently be reliably observed as the relevant GOES SXI, TRACE and SOHO data are all unavailable.
The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to minor storm on September 16 and quiet to minor storm on September 17-18.
Long distance low and medium frequency (below 2 MHz) propagation along east-west paths over high and upper middle latitudes is very poor. Propagation on long distance northeast-southwest paths is poor to very poor. Trans Atlantic propagation conditions are normally monitored every night on 1470 kHz. Dominant station tonight: Radio Cristal del Uruguay with a very poor signal.

This print started life as a photo and a sketch from underneath the horse chestnut trees in Roundhay Park, Leeds.
The subsequent image was transferred onto lino which was hand cut and then hand burnished onto a lovely Daler-Rowney 300gsm watercolour paper of A4 size (approx. 21 x 29.5cm). The printed image itself measures approx. 10cm x 14.5cm.
I just love the ‘feel’ of a linoprint; its clarity, its contrasts and boldness. I felt sure that the beautiful shapes and the movement of the leaves in my sketch would lend themselves well to this medium. I hope that you agree that they do!

At age fifteen Katriona O’Sullivan was pregnant and living without proper shelter, today she is a Trinity College lecturer in psychology and her son just signed a contract to play football for fourth-tier Carlisle United.
Despite her young pregnancy and the struggle and isolation that came with it, the Blanchardstown woman passed on her ‘anything is possible’ attitude to her son John O’Sullivan at an early age.
Once revealing her pregnancy to her family, Katriona found herself homeless. She moved to England with her partner at the time and gave birth to her son in Birmingham.
“I was suddenly pregnant, homeless and squatting with my boyfriend,” said Katriona, speaking to the Irish Independent, “Because I was still a child, I was placed in a hostel for young mothers when I was about five months pregnant,” she continued.
Katriona’s relationship with her son’s father fell apart when John was only two years old. After this, she moved back to Summerhill in Dublin to mend bridges with her family.
Although a bright student, falling pregnant at a young resulted in Katriona leaving school. Her return to education was initiated when she bumped into another single mother one day.
“She told me she was studying law at Trinity on the Trinity Access Programme (TAP). She had the same background as me, very disadvantaged,” said Katriona.
“I didn’t believe her. I asked where did she get into Trinity and that minute I marched straight over to the access programme and said ‘what do I have to do to get in here?’.
Juggling single motherhood and academia Katriona went on to study psychology at Trinity and when she could she’d often play football with her son John. Her hard work and determination led her to achieve a first class honours in her degree.
She then went on to win a scholarship to continue her studies by doing a PhD in psychology at the prestigious college. On completion of her PhD she was invited to become a psychology lecturer at Trinity on the TAP course.
“Her lecturers were thought provoking and she was obviously very passionate about the topic of addiction. She emphasised the importance of critical thinking and the real-world application of understanding the neurobiology of addiction”, said Celine Fox a past student of Katriona’s.

Indifference and inaction always mean coming down on the side of the victimizer, never the victim. In the face of evil, indifference is acquiescence.
I recently returned from participating in the largest ever Inter-Parliamentary delegation to mark International Remembrance Day at Auschwitz, and to commemorate also the 69th anniversary of the liberation of the most brutal extermination camp of the 20th century.
For me, as for my fellow Jewish and non-Jewish parliamentarians, it was a uniquely moving and painful moment  of bearing witness to horrors too terrible to be believed, but not too terrible to have happened.
As I reflect now on my recent visit to the Valley of Death, there are a number of lessons that bear recall and reminder.
The first is the importance of zachor, of remembrance of the victims defamed, demonized and dehumanized as prologue and justification for genocide  and where the mass murder six million Jews, and millions of non-Jews, is not a matter of abstract statistics. As we say at such moments of remembrance, “Unto each person there is a name, each person has an identity, each person is a universe.” We recited the Kaddish at various moments of bearing witness, most painfully upon exiting the barracks containing the crematoria, recalling that “whoever saves a single life it is as if he or she has saved an entire universe.” Thus, the abiding imperative: we are each, wherever we are, the guarantors of each other’s destiny.
The third lesson is the danger of anti-Semitism — the oldest and most enduring of hatreds — and the most lethal. If the Holocaust is a metaphor for radical evil, anti-Semitism is a metaphor for radical hatred. Let there be no mistake about it: Jews died at Auschwitz because of anti-Semitism, but anti-Semitism did not die; and while it begins with Jews, it doesn’t end with Jews.
The fourth painful and poignant lesson is that these Holocaust crimes resulted not only from state-sanctioned incitement to hatred and genocide, but from crimes of indifference, from conspiracies of silence  from the international community as bystander.
As it happens, this International Holocaust Remembrance Day occurred on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, when from April to July 1994, close to one million Rwandans were murdered. What makes the Rwandan genocide so unspeakable is not only the horror of the genocide itself, but that this genocide was preventable.
No one can say that we did not know; we knew, but we did not act.
Today, we know but have yet to act to stop the slaughter of civilians in Syria, ignoring the lessons of history and mocking the Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
Let there be no mistake about it: Indifference and inaction always mean coming down on the side of the victimizer, never the victim. In the face of evil, indifference is acquiescence.
including physicians, church leaders, judges, lawyers, engineers, architects and educators.
Holocaust crimes, then, were also the crimes of the Nuremberg elites. It is our responsibility, then, to speak truth to power, to hold power accountable to truth.
The sixth lesson concerns the vulnerability of the powerless and the powerlessness of the vulnerable, as dramatized at Auschwitz by the remnants of shoes and suitcases, crutches and hair of the murdered. Indeed, it is revealing, as Prof. Henry Friedlander points out in his work titled The Origins of Nazi Genocide, that the first group targeted for killing were the Jewish disabled.
It is our responsibility to give voice to the voiceless and to empower the powerless, be they the disabled, poor, elderly, women victimized by violence, or vulnerable children — the most vulnerable of the vulnerable.
Seventh is the tribute that must be paid to the rescuers, the righteous among the nations, of whom Raoul Wallenberg is metaphor and message. Wallenberg, a Swedish non-Jew, saved more Jews in six months in Hungary in 1944 than almost any single government or organization. Tragically, the man who saved so many was not himself saved by so many who could have.
Finally, as this visit reaffirmed, we must remember — and celebrate — the survivors of the Holocaust, the true heroes of humanity. For they witnessed and endured the worst of inhumanity, but somehow found, in the depths of their own humanity, the courage to go on, to rebuild their lives as they helped build our communities.
And so, together with them we must remember — and pledge — that never again will we be indifferent to incitement and hate; never again will we be silent in the face of evil; never again will we indulge racism and anti-Semitism; never again will we ignore the plight of the vulnerable; and never again will we be indifferent in the face of mass atrocity and impunity.
We will speak up — and act — against racism, against hate, against anti-Semitism, against mass atrocity, against injustice  and against the crime of crimes whose name we should shudder to mention: genocide.

It has been such a busy summer with strong interest in properties outside of Fort Nelson ... notably Atlin. However, whether in Fort Nelson or in Atlin, many home buyers look at the home they are considering purchasing and also consider the improvements that are needed. Do you know that you can get both the mortgage and the required improvements for as little as 5% down without having to stretch your bank account to make those needed renovations or, worse yet, use your charge card. Do it all at once ... and have the home that you want.
FORT NELSON – Two more suspicious fires have been lit by unknown persons over the past weekend. At approximately 20:00 hours on Friday, May 13, 2016 a call was received by Northern Rockies Fire Rescue regarding a fire in the log pile along the Muskwa River near the Highway 97 bridge crossing.
“This fire appears to be deliberately ignited using a petroleum product” informed Fire Chief Gord McCleary. “As we worked to suppress the fire and prevent spreading, we could smell petroleum burning”.
At 06:00 hours on Monday, May 16, 2016 a fire was reported in the grassy area between 53rd Ave W and 52nd Ave W. This fire was approximately 200 feet in length on the hill behind the Springhill and Hillside Apartment buildings and adjacent to the hospital.
“I am asking everyone living in or visiting the NRRM - BE EXTRA VIGILANT AND OBSERVANT. We all have a part to play in helping to prevent fires.
• Campers – Please ensure your fires are no larger than 18 inches wide by 18 inches high to reduce sparks and the chance of an uncontrolled fire. Ensure the fire is completely out by dousing it with water repeatedly until it is cool and fully extinguished.
On behalf of Regional Council, we thank you for your cooperation".
Both fires are under investigation by Northern Rockies RCMP and files have been opened on each incident. Inquiries and investigation is ongoing as RCMP follow up on some potential leads.
If you have any information on the above two fires or if you see any suspicious activities, please call the Northern Rockies RCMP at 774-2777. For reporting of smoke or fires, please call Northern Rockies Fire Rescue at 774-2222.

One of the recent Americans had, what appeared at the time, an almost impossible "wish list" as to what he was looking for in terms of a property ... the type of property that one could spend years trying to obtain in this area without success. I explained to him, in detail, how most of our land up here is owned by the Crown and much of it protected as in the case of the Muskwa Kechika. I did offer him two possibilities that did not contain much of what was in his "wish list". However, after much thought I remembered that I did know of a property that met that list. I just didn't know if the owner would even consider selling as it was a rare find for him, a property that has never been on the market and that few know about. Lo and behold ... he would consider selling. Needless to say the American was over the top with excitement. He had considered hundreds of properties and nothing met his "wish list" until now. He had found my website and had enjoyed reading my biography. Based on that he decided I was the realtor he wanted to deal with. His decision was further strengthened when he received my emails outlining the rarity of properties such as he was seeking, the history and background of the area and the information that much of our land is protected so that the public may enjoy it. When I sent him an email with the information of the property that I had located he immediately picked up the phone and called me, he was so excited. Deal is not yet together and it will no doubt take some time considering the issues he will be facing .... but just receiving his call outlining how he had chosen me and his delight with my service makes it all worthwhile!
With our falling dollar I have been receiving an unusual amount of inquiries for a variety of properties from potential American buyers. If you have a recreational property that you may be considering selling, now may be the perfect time. Call me!
There is nothing more exciting than having a buyer who can envision how a poorly designed and neglected home can be improved with well thought out renovations and with good quality materials. The buyer of this home can see how this can be turned into a high quality home where most simply wrote off the potential. This buyer always has incredible vision and the capabilities to turn that vision into reality. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product! In today's market there are so many potential projects for those with the vision and abilities!
We have a fabulous walking trail that winds through the woods and our town does a good job of keeping it clean. There is someone out there enjoying the trail at all hours. Early this morning and even after 8 am, there was a spectacular light show to be enjoyed while walking!
For those who regularly venture up highway for an afternoon drive, a hiking trip or a weekend camping trip outhouses are an ongoing concern. At Monday's Regional Council Meeting the decision was made to de-commission the outhouses at Steamboat and Allen's Lookout and entering into agreements with various operators along the highway to provide facilities for the public. The nearest facilities will be Tetsa River Services, Toad River, Double G and the Liard Hot Springs Lodge. I venture up highway often and am aware of the number of truckers that overnight at the Steamboat brake check as well as the number of travellers who stop solely to use the facilities. I know the truckers are regulars at Toad River and Double G but have a hard time seeing those truckers pulling into Tetsa River Services. Shall be interesting to see what the Steamboat brake check will look like after a few months of no facilities!!!
Considering that Alaska Highway news has this story and the info is on their website, this is something that is accurate and you may be interested in reading.
Having been away and driving through the various communities along our highway I am always struck by the beauty of our modest little community that greets the traveller as they come into town. We have to be proud of the lights, both festive and the ones that remain all winter .... or in other words, during the darkness! No other community along our highway offers such a festive and welcoming sight! Fort Nelson ... the street where we live!
An informative council meeting last night with Director Soles giving a well prepared and thoughtful opinion to the other members of the NRRM Regional Council regarding the local forestry situation followed by several strong motions that were fully supported by all Council members expressing concern regarding the proposed movement of local logs to Fort St John and the continued control of our local timber supply by Canfor.
Our local CIBC manager, Debbie Coventry, asked that I make you aware of this great financing offer for your new home. With the prices at their current level, and financing availability, now is the time to buy!
Interesting ad in yesterdays paper ... looking for truckers to haul logs from Fort Nelson to Fort St. John. Our economy certainly can use a boost but noticed that they aren't advertising for others in that industry - and the logs are going south!
On Monday our Mayor, Bill Streeper, presented Deputy Fire Chief James Childs with the Canada Fire Fighter's Service Medal for 20 years of exemplary federal service, all of which has been dedicated to Fort Nelson and Area. Well done James ... and so nice to see the Council Chambers filled with his very proud family.
When I came to town, January 1 1990, there were no traffic lights other than the crosswalk. Today, we are a 3 light town - it appears the third set of lights at the Recreational Complex are now operational so be careful and aware. Do not breeze through a red light as you head into or out of town!
It is that time of year that you really should make sure to check and replace your furnace filter ... a clean filter will make your furnace run much more efficiently. I change my regularly but am always amazed how dirty they get in this country. Yesterday I had one in a building that I am marketing that really jogged my memory to remind people .... it was absolutely filthy. They are out of sight and so naturally out of mind. While you are checking your furnace filter, take a look at your carbon monoxide detector. The life span is no more than 10 years. I confess mine was somewhat older when I got reminded to check mine! I immediately replaced it!
This is a letter that my great grandmother received regarding her son Idion (the man seated in the previous post). My father was born after this and he carried his uncles name. This is always a time for reflection.
I very much regret not being able to write you before this, but for the past two months I have been on my back with a severe wound and only now in a position to write.
I am, or rather was, the commanding officer of the company of which your splendid son was a member. Probably he told you of him having fun with me in the 10th Battalion and then later coming with me to the 3rd.
There never was a better soldier and I was greatly pleased when he decided to stay with me when I transferred. You knew he was my own special runner and right hand man generally and it is only the very best and most reliable who are chosen for that duty.
On the 10th of October our company was supporting the 55th Battalion wo were attacking at Paschendaele. We had only a small narrow trench to protect us from the endless shelling which was a perfect hell. In a short time half the company were casualties.
As soon as we arrived at this position, the first thing your son did was to dig a bunk hole to protect me. He then dug one next to it for himself but would not use it until he had done everything he could for me.
A little later I was called away and a shell hit my bunk hole and exploded. the pieces hitting your son on the side. He was immediately attended to and carried to the dressing station. After being dressed there he was sent on to the next station, for there can be very little done at the advanced station.
He lasted not long, however, it may be some consolation to know that owing to unconsciousness, he did not suffer.
We went over the top together at Vimy Ridge on April the 9th and, when I arrived at our destination, there was your son with a smile on his face as though nothing had happened, although we had gone through an awful time.
If there is any further information I can give you, please let me know.

Interfaces newly added to a node shows status "unknown"
After the latest servicepack, we've seen what looks like a bug in Orion.
When existing nodes are being rediscoved, and new interfaces are added to the node, the "node detailes" view of the node, shows the interfaces are status Unknown. (Even after waiting for Orion to poll statistics.) Clicking on one of the interfaces shows that the statistics are being polled just fine.
It does not help to delete all interfaces and adding them again.
The nodes with these interfaces unknown, does not list in "Nodes with problems" what they usually do, when an interface has been deleted on a node.
Re: Interfaces newly added to a node shows status "unknown"
I’ve seen issue like this before and from what I know so far it seems like combination of environmental issue and the way how data are being obtained from device. It is a rare case, but we would like to investigate it further. Please go ahead and open support ticket for you issue.
One thing I would like to ask you in the meanwhile; do you have any other type of topology than a star on your network? I mean like circle or more than one way how to reach device with load balancing on connecting routers.
Funny. The nodes we have problems with, are actually MPLS nodes and yes we do have more lines with load balanced traffic that connects to the MPLS nodes that have the issue.
I've attached two screenshots more; "list ressources" on the node whows that the interfaces are up and selected. Searching in Node Management and selecting "list ressources on the same node, shows the "unknown status" icon/grey icons.
Deleting the node in Orion, and adding it again, discovers the interfaces just fine and the statistics come in perfectly.
I've marked this for the PMs to look at and chime in on.
You dont really have to delete the entire node. You can delete the unknown interfaces on the node and then add the correct ones back in by listing the Node Details of the device and selecting them. This way you dont lose all of your node stats just the interface stats.
Doens't work here. It polls for statistics ONCE then stops. The rest of the statistisc like CPU load, remains polled fine but newly added interfaces stops.

Pseudopelade of Brocq (PPB) is a hair loss condition with great debate behind the activity of the condition. There is thought that PPB is an actively smoldering primary inflammatory condition that can be slowed or stopped. Another belief is that PPB is the end result of any inflammatory alopecia and no further treatment is needed. The mechanism is unknown as to why this occurs. There are speculations about the cause of PPB including Borrelia infection, auto-immune origins, or genetics with or without environmental influences.
PPB is diagnosed through scalp examination and biopsy. A biopsy is warranted to rule out other causes of inflammatory alopecia which can mimic PPB such as alopecia areata, discoid lupus, or lichen planopilaris. PPB is considered an inflammatory disorder although inflammation may or may not be visualized on the biopsy. When that biopsy is examined the follicles in PPB appear to be atrophic with shorter and finer hairs.
Treatment includes finding and treating any underlying inflammatory conditions. Topical steroid liquids and creams, scalp injections, oral anti-inflammatory medications can slow or stop the progression of PPB. PPB is self-limited and can start and stop without the patient knowing or without treatment. The endpoint can leave a few patches of alopecia to almost total scalp baldness. With any alopecia that can start again without symptoms, close follow up is necessary to monitor for flares. Early detection and treatment can prevent progression of hair loss and possibly reverse alopecia if caught early.

Now available as a 12 pack, BAWLS Guarana is the flagship concoction of the BAWLS family. What does it taste like? It tastes like BAWLS! (Some say it tastes like an über-smooth crème soda, but we remain firm in our assertion that BAWLS is the only way to describe it.) It's no big deal, really. It's just epic deliciousness in a devilishly stylish cobalt blue bottles, infused with enough caffeinated guarana guts to send you into the stratosphere, with no crash afterward. That's all.
I hate other carbonated energy drinks like red bull. Bawls original tastes a lot like cream soda. Its perfect!

I owe Abbey Springs something. Not money, I don’t think. It’s never paid me very much, so I shouldn’t feel obligated to pay it back. In the mid 1990s, I was a kid with a new, disastrous real estate career, and a desire to play tennis. I don’t know why I wanted to play tennis. I had never played when I was a kid. We’d sneak down to hit a few balls at Conference Point Camp, on their cracked and heaved courts, but that wasn’t really playing tennis. I couldn’t afford the Grand Geneva, with their shiny courts and wood lockers. So I played at Abbey Springs, under the tent they’d blow up over their outdoor courts in the winter. It was cold in there, dimly lit, and loud. The inability to properly relay the score, on account of the noisy blower fan, suited me just fine. Thanks, Abbey Springs.
But that’s the end of the thanking. Abbey Springs the real estate market is really quite a spectacle. It’s a machine, finely tuned, running without a miss, or a knock, or a sputter. The market is perhaps the most unique and widely varied here, with vacation condominiums starting in the high $100s and single family homes reaching or exceeding a million bucks. Remember that sentence.
For the year just ended, Abbey Springs closed 28 built properties including condominiums and single family homes. For all of 2016, there were 40 prints. Now, if I were were a headline writer for AP, I’d right this in a way that would appear negative: SALES DROP 30% AMID MARKET TURMOIL. But I’m not AP, I’m just a kid from Williams Bay, and even I know that shrinking sales totals are natural and normal in a market with shrinking inventory. We cannot sell what isn’t for sale. The sales total for 2017 is fine, the inventory today, at just 19 active properties (four of those under contract) is low. The market at Abbey Springs is in fantastic, healthy condition.
But that’s not really the whole story here, as much as Abbey Springs wishes it were. Consider the upper bracket sales from last year. There were four sales over $800k in Abbey Springs, with the highest sale reaching $885k. That’s nice. For the last five years, the two top sales in the market registered the same amount: $885k. Nothing higher, and over those five years just five sales over $800k. Seems fine, right?
The prior market top was mid 2007 to mid 2008. We know this. Abbey Springs, from 2005-2008 sold a lot of product, but where was the top end back then? For those years, Abbey Springs closed four sales over $900k, with the top sale at $1.3MM. If the markets today are as strong as they were then, why can’t Abbey Springs push over $900k anymore? Where did the $1.3MM sales go?
There’s no particular mystery in this. The market is strong today, yes. But the top end has obviously been redefined, and that new definition falls short of $900k. There has been some inventory over $900k to press that theory, but those homes have failed to sell. The prior market peak found buyers in this range with relative ease. It’s apparent to me that this higher level buyer is still in the market, but has found his or her way outside of Abbey Springs and instead wants a traditional lake home experience. That buyer wants a slip. Maybe some privacy. A smaller association where the beach isn’t so crowded. The buyer who once purchased $950k homes in Abbey Springs has proven elusive in this current cycle.
But maybe that doesn’t really matter. Abbey Springs might not be a million dollar market anymore. Or perhaps there just haven’t been any million dollar homes listed for sale. Either way, expect Abbey Springs to push forward yet again in 2018, and expect inventory to stay low. If you’re a buyer in search of a lake house experience with added country club style amenities, Abbey Springs is likely your best bet. Condominiums from the $200k range and single family from $500k. Beach, pool, golf, clubhouse, and tennis courts, though the bubble is no more.
We tend to buy real estate based on emotion and sell it based upon fact. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has ever bought or sold real estate. We buy it because we love it, because we want it, because it makes sense in some ways, sure, but mostly because we just have to have it. We sell it because we still love it, we still want it, but we know there are better ideas or better options, and so we adopt a more pragmatic approach and we move on past the thing that we so dearly loved. The hang up in real estate is when we’re buying something that we don’t truly love, that we don’t really want. Then every hiccup is perceived to be a bad omen, every slight difficulty a catastrophic event. When we sell, if we don’t truly understand that selling is what’s best, we cling to this real estate like grim death, knowing we have to sell but badly wishing against it. Then we poison the process with emotion, the side of the process that’s supposed to be more fact based. This is real estate.
On Friday, I sold 976 South Lakeshore Drive in Fontana. I represented one of my favorite clients in that transaction, and the deal came together in the way that we wish all deals might. We listed the house, we showed the house, we received an offer on the house, then another, and then we sold the house for $3,300,000. Just $95k off of our original April ask. That’s a scenario that most sellers dream of, and indeed it is a process of which I’d love to be a consistent participant. For now, we’ll leave aside the part of the deal wherein I represented a fantastic seller as that family pursues the ultimate lakefront arrangement, and we’ll instead focus on the truths of this deal and try our best to learn from them.
I sold this home to this seller in 2013 for $2.95MM. The seller did some improving of the home, but nothing too overwhelming. The property just sold for $3.3MM, representing a 12% increase over the 2013 price. This is Takeaway #1 from this sale: The lakefront market is up around 12% from 2013. Is this a uniform number, benefiting or cursing all lakefront homes? Of course not. Some have risen more, others less, but this is a solid benchmark, proven out not by my own interpretation of the market mood, but by cold hard statistics. Other properties have been bought and resold over recent years, but these properties often have had some form of dramatic renovation between the time they first sold and the time they most recently sold, so those statistics offer simply more proof of a market tendency to overpay for renovated kitchens.
This property, at the time that it hit the market, was the only lakefront home in Fontana listed for sale under $7MM. As a result of that market gap, the seller of this home could have taken a common seller approach of assuming that because he was the only game in town, the market would dramatically overpay for the rights to own his exclusivity. I hear this often from sellers, and when they explain just how rare their property is I tend to daydream about things that don’t make me lose all faith in humanity, like trout streams and the lake on a calm summer morning. The sellers explain, if a buyer wants this particular thing, in this particular location, they’ll have to pay. Unintelligent sellers call this the “price of admission”. It is true that there is a price of admission, but you know I like to compare real estate to cars, so to be a seller offering his rare property for a ridiculous number is akin to me listing my 5 year old BMW for $100,000 because that is indeed the only BMW in Williams Bay listed for sale. If you want that sweet BMW, you’ll have to pay up. Sellers of houses are just as ridiculous, and this seller didn’t succumb to that absurdity. Instead, we discussed the market, targeted a price range, and we listed the home at what the market indicated would be an acceptable price. One month later we had two buyers in line, proving our theory correct.
The lakefront market as a whole is relatively slow right now. There are two other lakefronts closing this week, both to buyers whom I’m pleased to represent, and another in Lake Geneva with a shared pier. Don’t ask how I feel about shared piers. Two weeks ago the older lakefront home on the hill in Cedar Point closed for $1.515MM, representing a reasonable ransom for a house with a tremendous view and approximately three trillion stairs to and from the water. YTD there have been 9 lakefront sales. 2015 had ten lakefronts closed as of June 13th, with two of those sales being involved in a trade. The market today feels somewhat sluggish, but it’s actually right on track. Last year, from June 14th through December 31st, there were a whopping 20 lakefronts closed, meaning 2016 has some big shoes to fill. The market could very well turn on in a similar fashion to last year, and I have a sneaking suspicion it’s going to do just that. The only difference between last year and this year is that our inventory is tighter, and without enough dry tinder there’s no way to get that fire quite as hot as last year.
I’m not going to say what I want to say. I’m not going to say that a house with a modest 110′ worth of cliff frontage shouldn’t sell for five million dollars. I’m not going to talk about the work required to take a basic parcel and turn it into an estate-type parcel; the landscaping, the tennis court, maybe a pool. I’m not going to talk about fit and finish, about what constitutes high end construction and what does not. I’m not going to do any of those things, because a sale is a sale, and the market tells me what it expects and doesn’t really concern itself with what I expect.
The house sold last week for $5.1MM (I wasn’t involved in the sale). That blue house, the one high on the hill just north of Gordy’s. It sold. It was first listed in 2014 for $6.25MM. Was the home worth $6.25MM? No. And the market proved it, allowing the house to sit and stir on the market for the majority of that year and into this one. Throughout that time, buyers presumably came and went, opting for other things, or for nothing at all, over this house on the hill. But the house had some style, and it had some polish, and it was new and of a contractor pedigree that means something here, and so the house attracted interest but failed to achieve the only measure of interest that matters: A sale.
What happens next is some intrigue, some subterfuge, and disappointment. The listing expired and was removed from the market, but the market knew the home was still for sale. And so it went, a house off the market, an aged asking price that never fell below $6.25MM. If you were simply computer screen watching, as 90% of agents do, you might have been surprised to see this property print in the MLS this week with a $5.1MM closed price. We do not computer screen watch.
The sale now closed was handled by an agent other than the agent that brought the property to market at that lofty price in 2014. The agent who closed the transaction was not the agent who toiled at the high price. This was not the agent that knew the market would react differently to the property if it were listed in the middle to upper fives, rather than the low sixes. The agent who did the fine job of selling this home last week was not the agent who introduced the property to the market, who broadcast it to the agents, who made known the quality and the importance of the home (even if I didn’t agree with the level of importance). The property sold via another agent, and the market, those uninitiated who follow from afar by watching Instagram screens and Facebook posts, will assume that some heroic event was made possible by the introduction of a new face.
When I took over the South Shore Club marketing in 2012, and promptly began selling both homes and lots with a regularity that the market there had never experienced, was it because of me? Was I so much better than the prior representation that I somehow convinced the public that this South Shore Club was worth their time and money? Was I a star who brought with my power of personality and made this development matter again? Or was I just the guy who came on the scene, with messy hair and pointy shoes, and convinced the sellers that the price structure was wrong, and that if they would oblige my suggestion they would find success? It’s the latter, which is why I didn’t take out full page ads telling you how tremendously effective I was. I was merely the person at the helm when the market heated to such a level that success was the only possible outcome.
The same likely applies to the blue house on the hill in Fontana. Was this some feat? Was this a sale that wouldn’t have happened if not for a change in agent or broker? Of course not. This was a sale, like most sales, that had everything to do with price, and had the price of that $6.25MM home been dropped to $5.3MM (the ultimate list price when the property sold) I would suggest that anyone of a 100 different agents in this town could have played the star role. And all of that goes back to this. On television, red carpets and Burning Man parties sell houses. In Lake Geneva, just hack off your price a bit and make your agent a star.
As a market aside, this sale was high. There were multiple parties interested in it, but it was still high. The premium was paid because Fontana is a desirable locale, and new construction in the $5MM range generally doesn’t exist. Buyers can convince themselves to spend $5 something much easier than they can convince themselves to spend $7+. No matter that $7+ gets you a product like 1014 South Lakeshore, a property so vastly superior to the blue house on the hill in every possible measure. Compression is the high end buyer’s friend here, and if you can swing $5 something, better reach a bit and spend $7 something, because that two bucks you left in the market is now worth $1.6 bucks, and a house is so much more fun.

This was captivating! These poor kids live through tragedy after tragedy, discovering new things about themselves along the way. The writing was smooth for the most part, but the characters were wonderful. The relationships between the sibling felt genuine, and I really enjoyed it. The monsters were properly terrifying, and I stayed engaged for the entire journey. A really great start! If you like demons and paranormal stories, you'll probably enjoy this.
Extremely entertaining and well written. Really engaging characters. I can't wait to read more.

I read the book from cover to cover and formulated my own opinions.

I can honestly say that it was awesome. While geared towards ya, adults can also easily get into the story. Demon Conspiracy is action-packed with an excellent storyline. You are seriously missing a great read if you pass on this one.
A family goes caving and discovers that the cave is infested by demons. The main story is told by Kelly Bishop, an eighth grader in the family, who happens to be telepathic.
The strange part begins when all of the people that come out of the cave after going in to rescue the ones that didn't get out after an earthquake, all say the same thing.

The opening statement of the story draws you in immediately with a sense of danger. The intrigue continues on a steady pace as you are sucked into this epic tale of demons and mystery. The narrator is believable and her actions are typical of an eighth grader.
I held my breath as I read the scary parts and was also grossed out by the visual descriptions of other scenes. I felt anxious for the characters in this book as they escaped danger repeatedly. I could easily relate to the physical pain and anguish that the characters went through as they were tossed about by the demons.
Very entertaining. Easy to visualize what is going on. Definitely recommend it.

Above: Clandestine: Anomaly takes on New York City.
Next week will mark the launch of a game that shouldn’t exist.
Corey King, a Canadian artist with zero game development experience, dreamed up Clandestine: Anomaly and named himself Chief Executive Artist at ZenFri, Inc. He wanted to tap into storytelling using a medium he’d never worked in: augmented reality (AR), where images and content is layered over the real world.
Instead of starting small, he created an ambitious plan, won the hearts of volunteers, and obtained the financial backing to create a prototype. That design and a mutual friend lured in Joshua Ortega, a writer on Gears of War and other AAA franchises, as well as graphic novels, regular novels, and all kinds of big-name projects.
Ortega then took on the challenge of writing a game where the main character is the player, whose literal, physical actions can help direct the action in game — something that makes traditional narrative very difficult.
Clandestine: Anomaly, an alien story/item/tower defense/offensive strategic attack game, launches for iPad and iPhone July 7 for $4 and Android “very soon” — while it’s still warm enough to enjoy a game that encourages you to go outside.
Above: You remember, outside: the place with the sunshine and the aliens.
Corey King: My key ambition with this was to learn how to create a story driven experience where the canvas is your neighborhood, where the real world environment is part of the story. I feel like a lot of AR games don’t have an emotional connection; they’re just things chucked randomly into the environment. But by using GPS and setting the story within your own neighborhood, we’re hoping that creates a deeper emotional connection that the story can drive and thrive upon.
GamesBeat: Did you have any previous experience in AR?
King: I call myself medium-agnostic. My project before this was an artsy book of written and visual works, and before that I did an art gallery show, and I’ve had films play across Canada. So this is actually my very first game project, my first interactive project. It took me a long time to get here because of that.
I had an iPod Touch about 4 or 5 years ago. I had it for about three hours, and just intuitively, not really knowing the technology on a real level, felt that things were getting close enough that you could start opening up this whole new canvas for storytelling, which was the actual world. At the time, I didn’t know what the term AR was. But I was like, I haven’t seen this yet, and I’d like to be one of the first ones to crack making that a compelling experience.
My main modus operandi is that I go where the story takes me, where the story needs to be. I’m never really shy about things. A certain amount of naivete was helpful in getting the ball rolling. Knowing what I do now, if I were to try and explain how hard it was, and what the learning curves were, I may not have done it.
Above: Look out! It’s a wildly ambitious game plan!
GamesBeat: So how did the project come together?
King: I get really stupidly passionate about storytelling things, and just go full bore into it. The idea was novel enough that I was originally able to get volunteers. I tried as a stepping stone to do a smaller game because it seemed more logical. That never took off, because I never had the money.
I said okay, the smaller game is not going to work, which is what people tell you you’re supposed to do. So I just went for the crazy idea, and I could get people who would volunteer to help me. With them, we were able to get funding and build from there, until we got to a point where we had a prototype and could attract guys like Joshua to the project.
GamesBeat: How did you two meet?
Joshua Ortega: David [Green, a mutual friend] told me about the project and said, I think you should talk to Corey. We had been discussing some AR ideas over lunches and dinners.
King: I spoke at my very first conference ever, which was the Augmented World Expo about two years ago, about this game, and David lingered about afterwards and started asking me questions, and that’s how we met.
Ortega: He heard about my passion for AR. As much as VR gets so much coverage, deservedly so, at the same time, AR is still slightly underestimated with how much of an impact it’s going to have on daily life, let alone gaming. The possibilities are all there. It’s a fun frontier right now. Corey was one of the few people I saw who was approaching it seriously and seeing the capabilities of it.
GamesBeat: So describe exactly how AR fits into Clandestine: Anomaly.
King: It’s set in a 2 kilometer by 2 kilometer range — a little more than a mile square — that you actually help select yourself. An alien ship is crashing.
You’re not important. It’s not the type of story where you’re Sam Shepherd and you’re the chosen one. You’re just you. When you start the game, you start up a game called Clandestine:Anomaly, which is not this game, and when you go to press play it gets hacked. The aliens are hacking your phone and communicating with you, because they’re crashing and all their instruments are dead, so they don’t know where to crash.
So by helping them crash, you tell them where you are located, which sets up your home base and sets a range of safe area to play the game in. From that point, it’s procedurally generated campaign map.
Above: A screen shot from the game. And some extra promotion, totally free.
GamesBeat: How closely tied is the game to your precise location?
King: We don’t have the processing power on mobile to do all the gameplay stuff and detect, “This is a river.” We rely on the user to choose a safe location and strongly hint to it. We try to be pretty forgiving with the specifics. You have to be within 300 meters of a location to participate in the augmented reality. That’s all geolocked.
You’re not actually forced to go. If something is three blocks away, and you want to access the AR side of the game, that’s a strategic option you choose, and you have to actually walk to that location, at most within a one-mile-ish distance.
Above: Tactical attacks are still available even if you don’t want to go outside. Wuss.
GamesBeat: And if you don’t want a walk?
King: I’m from one of the coldest cities, Winnepeg Canada, and there are just days that you don’t want to force people to go outside to play. You can play, you can beat the whole game without ever experiencing the AR. It’s optional to go experience it, but we make it extremely powerful. By you walking, that’s like a power-up, and then you call in the most powerful abilities, which are air strikes, which directly relate to the tower defense, or Tower Tactics, side of the game.
If you don’t want to get up, you don’t have to — it’s a completely viable strategy. It’s another strategy to walk to the location and use all your abilities. In the game, your phone is not a gun. Your phone is a phone. Characters call you, characters text you. It makes sense that the battlefield commander could be both on the field of battle and working remotely, and so we supported both of those approaches.

Method 1. Using Cat Repellents. Use a cat repellent spray. Look for all-natural sprays that won't damage the paint on your car. Sprinkle cat-repelling powder on your car. Use dry herbs to repel the cat. Make your own cat repellent. Place an ultrasonic animal repellent near your car. Install a motion-controlled.
Keep Cats off Cars. Cat sunning itself on top of a car. Cat paw prints all over your car! Not again! Worse still, you can see fine scratches in the paint work.
I hope this doesn't seem like a stupid topic. Anyway, the cats in my apartment complex like to use the hood of my car as a body warmer on cool nights.

New Providence, Bahamas – If you’re a resident of New Providence then you’ve probably seen them: mounds of uncollected trash and overflowing trash bins far too often; which become the perfect targets for stray dogs and a breeding ground for rodents. While challenges related to public sector trash collection services are not new, many more residents have noticed, longer than usual delays in the weekly collection of their garbage.
As of January 1, 2019, the Government of The Bahamas introduced changes to the regulations which dictate what type of residences qualify for public trash collection. Under the newly enforced laws, multiplex lots comprising of 3 units or more now fall into the category of commercial properties, and will therefore no longer qualify for residential collection services by the Department of Environmental Health Services.
The new procedures will require the owners of multi-complex properties to seek alternative collection arrangements to ensure that their properties remain clean and safe. Amid these regulatory changes, Bahamas Waste Limited (BW), which is already responsible for collection of up to one-third of the island’s trash, has stepped up to provide a speedy sign up for these services.
With more than three decades in the waste management industry, Bahamas Waste Limited is staffed with trained and qualified staff to handle all sorts of waste. While the company is well known for its rental of portable restroom facilities, construction and bin needs, Bahamas Waste Limited also offers specialized services from medical waste and its very popular ‘White Glove’ collection service.
To learn more about the new government regulations, home owners can contact the Ministry of Environment and Housing at 322-6027 To learn more about Bahamas Waste interested persons may visit the company’s social media at https://www.facebook.com/Bahamas-Waste-419339604771785/.

Our passage to King Cove had seen fog, strong winds, light winds, sun, a big volcano, islands, birds, and whales—a wonderful 75 miles! The sea and air were pretty calm as we watched the whales breach in Deer Passage, but then as we turned the corner into King Cove itself the wind began to strengthen, and right from the direction in which we were headed.
About to turn the corner. Too busy for pictures in the strong winds afterwards!
This was yet another of the “bays and passes” mentioned on the NOAA weather radio where a north wind will get up a lot of force even when things are relatively calm in the more open ocean. We’d already experienced this on our 3-day passage to Sand Point, when 40kt winds would suddenly clock over 50 in certain places. The weather was better down by King Cove, but the wind was still funneling between the mountains and sometimes coming in fierce gusts. So we had this one last challenge to overcome before we could rest in King Cove prior to the final push to the Aleutian Islands.
King Cove has another beautiful new fishing boat basin, just like Sand Point but smaller. Seth and I were both worried about docking, though, because the wind would either push us hard into a slip or hard away from it depending on which one we took. We were hoping the wind would lessen towards the head of the bay where the basin was located, but no such luck. But, the docks turned out to be very widely spaced—the engineers must have taken the usual weather here into consideration—and they were also pretty empty.
Since there were so many empty spaces, we (obviously) decided on being pushed away from the slip (i.e. pointing into the wind on our way in). It was actually a pretty simple operation (much easier than getting out of the tightly-spaced docks in Whittier in similar winds), and we soon had Celeste made fast and shipshape.
While we were still coiling down lines, we were hailed by a young woman on the deck of a fishing boat in the next slip over. She wanted to know where we’d come from and all the usual questions, and after some struggle of politeness on both sides (each of us asking the other to drinks on our own boats) we ended up on the fishing boat.
Sadly didn’t get a photo of our new friends and their boat, but there’s a similar boat in the bottom right of this shot.
The boat was a gill-netter that deployed her net from the stern, and she was being manned by her owner and his niece. They had just come back from fishing Bristol Bay, the shallow body of water to the north of the Peninsula (the easternmost part of the Bering Sea), and were on their way home to Cook Inlet (where Homer and Anchorage are located and where we’d seen the belugas on our car trip). They were actually planning to leave that night and make a direct passage.
Bristol Bay to N of Peninsula. Cook Inlet to WNW of Kenai Peninsula.
The owner, Francisco, told us that he was the only Mexican-American in Alaska to own his own fishing boat (that he knew of) and we heard all about how fishing works in Alaska: the licenses, the “open days” that Fish and Game announce depending on fish count estimates, the prime fishing grounds, how licenses get passed on in people’s wills, how people take out loans to buy licenses, which areas he has licenses for, current prices for various salmon species and other fish, etc. His niece owned some valuable shares in the halibut fishery and was part Aleut Native, so gradually the conversation got around to how the Native Corporations work. We also talked a lot of boat shop, as always tends to happen, and we ended up having dinner on board (some amazing chicken fajitas) and talking well into the night. One of us eventually looked at the clock and saw it was almost 1AM, an hour after Francisco had meant to set out! Everyone had been having so much fun and talking so much that no one had noticed! So we said goodbye, exchanged contact info and promised to stay in touch, and waved them off. King Cove, a place we’d had no expectations for, was already turning out to be one of our favorite ports!
Glad you like the map! I think King Cove does figure in Deadliest Catch so that’s probably right!
Your travels are so adventurous and fascinating to read about. I simply cannot wrap my head around sailing in such remote locations. Thank you very much for sharing these stories.
Thanks so much, Hayden! I’m glad you’re enjoying our stories! Wishing you fair winds and clear skies on your sail back to Florida. Stay in touch!
It is pretty amazing! One of my favorite parts of sailing!

With the popularity of last week's meal and my attempts to eat a wee bit healthier for my impending vacation, here is another "salad" recipe for y'all. Note that I am not trying to say bacon and goat cheese are healthy, but in moderation and combine with other veggies, it is a healthier option than say... a burger. This recipe was also adapted from Catherine Walther's Raising the Salad Bar. If you love salads, and not just the average ceasar or garden variety, I would highly recommend getting this book.
Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with salted water and place on medium-high to boil. Once potatoes can be easily pierced by a fork, remove and drain. Set aside to cool.
Add all dressing ingredients to medium bowl and whisk until completely mixed.
Once potatoes are cool, dice into 3/4 inch wedges and season with salt and pepper.
Combine potatoes, tomatoes, arugula, and olives and drizzle the dressing over. Mix.
Serve and top with bacon and crumbled goat cheese.
Hope you all enjoy! What are your favorite salads? Any requests?
PS. I want to say a huge thank you to Kelly from Classically Eclectic for offering such an awesome give away from Miles of Light. I'll be sure to post pictures of how the print fits into our new space.
PSS. Speaking of new space, Lizzie from Home Grown Interiors sent over my e-decorating package last night and I am stunned to say the least. It perfectly blends the Boy's and my style. I can't wait to move next weekend and start implementing her suggestions. I'll try to post a sneak peek of what she did for us later this week!
anything with goat cheese and bacon has my heart!!
Just bookmarked this so I can try it soon.
mmmmmmm Julie! Can you come over to my house and cook for me?! Amazing!
Ohhh...I LOVE goat cheese. Adding bacon and potatoes to it...sounds just about perfect. Can't wait to see your giveaway winnings!
A salad with bacon and goat cheese...now THAT'S my kind of salad!
Mmmmm..... I'm not a huge fan of bacon, but the goat cheese and arugula make me hungry!
mmmm, that looks so delish. what a fab salad!
Love the feedback and I guess this just means I have to keep posting hearty salads (especially ones with bacon!).
Nicole (and all) if you lived in the DC area of course I'd have you over for one of our dinner club meals!

Eating healthy can be hard for a lot of different reasons. In my house, it’s usually because my husband and I are swamped with work and chores. Plus, he is a notoriously picky eater so anything that looks too green will be instantly met with suspicion. Since getting involved with the HABIT Program years ago, I have learned more and more about the impact of nutrition on brain health which has led to us trying to make better choices about what we eat.
I thought I would share this recipe that follows the Mediterranean diet, tastes great, and doesn’t involve a ton of time to make! This recipe serves 4 so we always have leftovers for the next day and the dish reheats beautifully. I hope you get a chance to try this soon! Oh, and let me know how yours turned out. I always like to know how folks change recipes to meet their own preferences. If you like this, check out the Mayo Clinic Cookbook for some other healthy recipes.
Tip: If you sometimes have difficulty following recipes, print this out and place a checkmark by each step once you have finished it so that you won’t lose your place if you get distracted.

Seeing a report by Cap Gemini about humanoid robots use case in retail is like seeing an advertisement for a self-driving car SLA based subscription service. I just didn't think we were there quite yet. I'm guessing Softbank can afford to have analysts cover the niche sector if they can afford to buy ARM.
I think their assumptions are naive!! What they're suggesting would be much like a mobile kiosk. If a computer-based stationary kiosk was possible (and clearly, it is), why hasn't this been done already, as a first step? Certainly, it would be cheaper!! Perhaps they'd be better suited by tapping an existing resource for infrastructure - like one's cell phone. It would be handy to have an app, tell it what you want, have it give you a graphic overlay through one's cam of directions on where to go in the store to get there, which shelf, etc, product info, store pricing, etc. Consumer owns the hardware!! Sadly, I think a robot greeter / guide would be more gimmick than real value-add. Wait - in the trend of the trendy, why not have self-driving CARTS in the store that would route customers to their destinations?? They already have scooters in stores, and it is a controlled and closed system, one could do something as simple as a line-following mechanism on the floor... On a more serious note, I think having a LITERAL Spam Bot would be unbelievably annoying!! "You look tired - perhaps you would use a nice hot cup of Super Duper Coffee...", "I see you drove up in an XYZ - have you considered buying a newer car, like an ABC? They have a deal down the street... blah blah blah", or "I know you're here to buy X, but take a look at Y that I've brought you to! Isn't this a nice Y? And check out that PRICE!!", etc, etc.
I think robots have their place, but I don't think customer-facing retail is one of them!! As much as I have an affinity towards robots, I certainly don't want to talk to one that is feeding me spam with a corporate agenda. I think there's value in talking to a person, a creature we know well enough to determine (mostly) whether they're being deceptive or not. Another thought - how many "hate crimes" towards robots would be realized through an ad bot?? Spam ticks me off - I can't imagine how I'd feel if the delivery mechanism for that spam presented itself in physical form!! Such bots should be well wrapped to take a pounding, I'd think!!
I thinks it's too early for this. I am a huge fan of robots but honestly, I am a little bit scared of it at the same time. I've watched Matrix too many times.

One of the mysterious encounter of this week in Amsterdam was this truly nice radio mounted on a toilet paper-roll, designed by Vanica.
"Advantages: You are entertained when using the toilet. You learn a lot of snippets of knowledge at random. Learning is automatic and without commitment in an environment usually devoid of intellectual sound. You can always tell if someone else is using the toilet even if they do not lock the door and do not whistle, as you can hear the radio. After the installation of the toilet radio, everyone remembers to shut the toilet lid after use (because no-one is so careless that they'll wastefully leave the radio on!) As you use the toilet at night sometimes, you get to hear unexpected items on nighttime radio. Makes good humour in relation to something considered taboo. Visitors make comment on the ingenuity and comedy value of the toilet radio arrangement.
Why do I blog this? certainly an intriguing combination of artifacts, nice to observe and worth a try. This encouragement to stay in this 4th place (i.e. toilet) was however contradicted by an automatic shut-off light system that obliged to wave my hands above my head (where the motion detector was located). What an experience only to keep listening to radio programs.
Describing a framework, but why?
