I'm very excited to be revealing the cover of my upcoming debut picture book, There Was An Old Gator Who Swallowed A Moth, launching February 15, 2019, but first a little bit about the book and my journey. First let me say, since I come to children's literature via poetry, I am very happy that my first solo book is in rhyme, and cumulative rhyme to boot.
A big shout out of thanks also to my editor and publicists at Pelican Publishing. You all did and continue to do an amazing job! I'll be forever grateful to you for bringing my first picture book to life.
I'm not much for resolutions, but this year felt different. I'm looking forward to a productive writing year and hope you all have productive years as well. In that spirit, here is a poem I wrote describing my writing resolution for the new year. Blessings to all and Peace on Earth!
Thank you to Heidi for hosting. It is a fun day to be hosting to be sure. Best wishes for a wonderful year, Heidi!
Reading my "Bird on the Brain" poem, inspired by Paul Klee's painting with my little Crazy Bird looking on. A bird on the brain can be one great big pain...!

Thank you, thank you, Lithia Elementary, for welcoming me. I had a wonderful time sharing my poetry with your 5th graders! And to you 5th graders - you know who you are - keep on writing! All the Best, B.J. Lee
Today, I have the pleasure of being featured on Penny Parker Klostermann's blog in her fabulous series "A Great Nephew and a Great Aunt." I have written an ekphrastic poem, "The Storm Queen," in response to an abstract painting of my husband's, Malcolm Deeley. Many thanks to Penny, friend and former crit partner in The Poet's Garage, for hosting us today! The post looks wonderful. Also, a shout out to my husband, Mal, who is not only a talented artist, but a poet, author, photographer, and the love of my life! Check out his books of poetry on Amazon!
The Roseate Spoonbill
Happy Summer! We have been lucky to see several Roseate Spoonbills this year! I love the spoonbills because of their beautiful pink color and their unusual bills. Photographing them is difficult, however, because the ones we've seen were busy feeding, swishing their bills around in the water very quickly. As a consequence, all of our photographs turned out blurry. I don't mind, though, because this frustration sparked a poem, a limerick.
The Roseate Spoonbill
Her bill is a long slotted spoon.
She dips it down in the lagoon.
With hoovering swishes,
she captures small fishes--
in the pink on a June afternoon.

Thanks to Heidi for hosting!
What a joy to be part of Irene Latham's Progressive Poem! It's been a blast watching this poem grow from blog to blog and I'm thankful to Irene for coordinating this effort each year! I wanted to be somewhere in the middle – not responsible for a beginning or ending. S4's exhortation to "find the book," was just up my street! S5 included a brief departure from the mission as our protagonist couldn't resist the temptation to spout a few words while on stage - so true to her nature! (Yes, I think the protagonist is a she although I know some of you feel she is a he!) Pat, on S5L3, took up the quest once again but added another twist - apparently the book quest is part of a prophecy! Just wow! With this whole "find the book" couched in a prophecy plot twist, I feel like this poem could easily go another month! But I'll play along. I'll take the plunge. In fact, I'll dive in headfirst:
I'm fidget, friction, ragged edges--

Nothing is more annoying than dealing with a weedy yard. It is difficult to enjoy spending time in your yard when it is a pile of weeds and you want to make sure that you get rid of the weeds so you don't have to deal with them all summer long. If you have weeds, you might be tempted to use chemical weed killers on the yard, but these weed killers are bad for your soil and they can also harm people and pets.
Look For Experienced Chemical weed killers
Chemical weed killers can get into the water supply and they can have serious long-term effects on the planet. You want to avoid them if you can because they just cause too much damage to the environment. They work but the side effects are too terrible. It is much better to use natural methods to kill your weeds but you have to be prepared for the extra time they take to work.
It can be a slow process getting rid of weeds naturally and you have to make sure that you have the time to take care of them. The results are going to be better when you use natural methods and they can lead to less work eventually. The first way to kill weeds naturally is to just pull them out. You have to make sure that you pull the weeds out by the root or this method isn't going to work.
How To Deal With Weed
If you get the weed by the root, it isn't going to come back and you won't be dealing with your weed problem anymore. When you pull the week out by the root it isn't going to grow back and you won't have to deal with the weeds again. You can also spray your weeds with a solution of vinegar and dish detergent. This is a natural way to get rid of the weeds and it works very well. You can make the solution and spray it directly on the weeds and it will kill them in a day or two.
If you don't care about the surrounding vegetation you can kill weeds quickly by pouring boiling water on them. The water is going to kill the weeds instantly and it will also kill the roots and the seeds so they don't come back. You can also pour salt on weeds to kill them, but beware of using the salt method because it will kill everything, not just the weeds and you won't be able to plant anything in that area for a while.
Natural Method To Kill Weeds
Using natural method to kill weeds is the best way to get rid of them because natural methods are safer and they are also more effective, but they do take longer to do so you have to patient when you are trying to kill weeds using natural methods. Natural methods are often much better but they are also harder. It is easy to spray some weed killer on a weed but it is more work to actually pull them out by hand.

Facebook gets more secure with HTTPS and a smart, social photo test
Facebook has today announced two new features aimed at improving security on the platform.
First up is full support for HTTPS connections – this means that your entire session with Facebook can be more secure. The move will please those who use open wi-fi networks and worry about snooping tools like Firesheep being able to allow others to access their data.
HTTPS is already used as standard on Facebook login pages, but will now work across the whole site if you activate it.You can find the Account Security section of your account settings. Facebook does warn that load times may be increased under the new setting, and some third-party apps won't work at all until they're re-coded to support it.
The other new feature is an interesting alternative to a CAPTCHA, which Facebook is calling "Social Authentication". If it detects suspicious activity on your account, it will show you photos of friends and ask you to correctly tag them. After all, hackers may know your password, but they probably don't know who your friends are. The feature was spotted in testing last year, and is now officially part of Facebook's security. Smart!
Ironically, the news follows the recent hacking of Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook fan page.

Who is she – Dr. Ford, 51, is a research psychologist at Palo Alto University in Northern California.
Judge Kavanaugh's response – Judge Kavanaugh has denied the accusations, and the White House has said it stands by those denials.

Who is she – Like Judge Kavanaugh, Ms. Swetnick, 55, is from the Washington suburbs. She grew up in Montgomery County, Md., graduating from Gaithersburg High School in 1980. She attended the University of Maryland
Judge Kavanaugh's response – In a statement issued by the White House, Judge Kavanaugh said there was no truth to the claim. "This is ridiculous and from the 'Twilight Zone,'" he said. "I don't know who this is and this never happened."

How to Check Your Transmission Fluid
Every driver wants to know how they can keep their new vehicle running smoothly on the streets of Forest Grove. One easy way is to understand how to check your transmission fluid on a routine basis. Follow our step-by-step instructions below to learn how:
- Turn the car on. The engine should be warmed up to check your vehicle's fluid level.
- Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. If you drive an FWD vehicle, it's probably located to the right of the oil dipstick, but you can check your owner's manual if you need help finding it.
- Remove the dipstick and touch a bit of the fluid, then move it around between your thumb and forefinger. If your fluid is the proper color, it will be almost clear, with a bit of a pink hue. If it smells burnt or looks dirty, it's time to replace the fluid.
- Wipe the dipstick clean with a rag, then insert it back into the vehicle. Pull it out once more, and take a look at the level. If it falls under the "Full" mark, you'll need to top off the fluid.
- To avoid mess, use a funnel to add fluid, and take care not to overfill.
If you have any trouble during this process, don't hesitate to contact Dick's Country Chrysler Jeep Dodge. We're just a short drive from Aloha, and we're happy to answer any questions you may have!
How Often Do You Check Your Transmission Fluid?
In order to catch any issues before they become bigger and more costly, you should check your vehicle's main fluid levels every month. This includes checking the transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and engine oil. If you'd like to get a more specific maintenance schedule, your owner's manual will guide you.
Transmission Fluid Basics
The transmission is one of the most important and complex components of your vehicle. Before checking the transmission fluid, check out these helpful tips:
- Transmission fluids are not all the same. There are different types for newer models, manual transmissions, and automatic transmissions. Again, your owner's manual will tell you the type of transmission fluid you should use.
- When you're checking the fluid on a manual transmission, it will typically require a jack to access a plug underneath the car. Unless you're an experienced and confident DIYer, we'd suggest visiting our service department for your convenience and peace of mind.
- Have you noticed your vehicle hesitating before shifting gears? It could be caused by low transmission fluid, but it might also be a sign of a more serious issue. Go ahead and check the fluid level first, but if it looks fine, we recommend scheduling service with us today.
- Transmission fluid should be replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, but the actual time depends on how and where you drive your car and the type of transmission you have, among other factors like your RAM 2500 towing capacity. Take a look at your owner's manual for a clear replacement interval.
Trust Dick's Country Chrysler Jeep Dodge for All Your Service Needs

We are pleased to be able to offer Futuna Chapel as a venue for selected functions. Futuna Chapel is suitable for secular or religious events, and its architectural presence will add to the impact and emotion of the occasion.
Futuna Chapel is generally regarded as one of the most significant New Zealand buildings of the 20th century. It won the New Zealand Institute of Architect's gold medal in 1968, and the 25 year award in 1986. The Chapel's architect, John Scott, was posthumously awarded a NZIA Gold Meal for Enduring Architecture in 1999.
The Chapel is the last remaining building of the Society of Mary Catholic retreat centre that was built on the former Kirkcaldie estate. Futuna Chapel was handbuilt by the Catholic brothers and volunteers, and contains art by sculptor Jim Allen. The first mass was held in Futuna Chapel in 1961.
The design of the Chapel is unique, due to the vision of John Scott, but also to the requirements of a chapel in a retreat centre. When built, the Chapel was required to accommodate all the priests staying at the retreat centre, and allow for each of them to say Mass every day. Hence, as well as the main altar, there are four side altars around the walls of the Chapel.
The retreat centre was sold by the Society of Mary in 2000, and was largely demolished. Futuna Chapel was deconsecrated, and also faced demolition. The Friends of Futuna Charitable Trust, a group of private citizens concerned with Wellington and New Zealand art, architecture and history was formed, and purchased the building. The Trust, a non-profit organisation, is dedicated to ensuring that Futuna Chapel is preserved for future generations.
Futuna is registered as Category 1 by the New Zealand Heritage, meaning that it has 'special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value'.
In choosing Futuna Chapel as the venue for your occasion, you are sharing the gift of Futuna with your guests and they will thank you.
You are also supporting the Trust to preserve the Chapel, and we thank you.
Functions for which the Chapel is well suited
Lectures and presentations: particularly those with concerned with art, architecture, history or spirituality.
Concerts: the acoustics at Futuna are particularly enjoyed by string ensembles, and choirs, as the acoustics suit choral and classical music.
Weddings and Christenings: the Chapel retains its spiritual/religious atmosphere, and is a lovely space for ceremonies led by clergy or celebrants.
Please note that the Chapel can hold up to 100 people.
Special Characteristics Of The Chapel
The Light: The Chapel has banks of coloured acrylic windows reaching high up to the roof. At certain times of the day, the light from these windows moves through the chapel, being especially stunning on the rough cast concrete wall behind the altar.
The Layout: The Chapel is a non-traditional layout with a centre post, no aisle and the two blocks of seating at right angles to each other. Each block of seating consists of six unpadded timber pews, and each pew seats up to eight people.
Disabled Access and Facilities: There are three shallow steps to the porch, and a small step at the door. We have a removable ramp that can be put in place as required. The pews are on a 100mm high raised area of floor, and there is plenty of space adjacent for a wheelchair. The dais and altar are several steps above the floor level. There is an accessible toilet.
Facilities and Features of the Chapel and Environs
Kitchenette: There is a small kitchenette, with a sink (cold water only) and a power point. You will need to bring your own crockery, utensils, supplies.
Cleaning: The Chapel will be clean ready for your event. You are responsible for leaving it in the same state that you received it, and removing all rubbish. No confetti is permitted at weddings.
Community: Futuna Chapel is located in a residential community. Events that generate excessive noise, crowds or traffic will not be accepted. Events can be scheduled between 10am and 6pm, with evening use by arrangement.
Parking: There is no parking within the complex, and the roads within the complex must not be blocked. Drop offs can be made outside the Chapel for elderly, disabled or special guests. Otherwise there is plentiful street parking within easy walking distance.
Internal Environment: The Chapel is predominantly concrete, and is generally cool in summer, but cold in winter. There are wall gas heaters which will be switched on several hours before the event during winter, and moderate the temperature slightly.
Acoustics: The Chapel does not have a sound system for music, or speaking. However, the natural acoustic qualities of the space are good, and confident speech is clearly heard.
Furniture: The Chapel has four built in altars, one built in plinth and one freestanding altar.
Projection: Note that although projection screens can be used, there are no curtains, and hence the sunlight in the church cannot be controlled.
Procedure for Booking the Chapel

Sun Damabe | Before & After | LightPod Era
Sun Damabe | Before & After | LightPod Era
Over time, your skin is affected by exposure to UV light, which can cause pigmentary changes on the surface of the skin. The result can be sun or age spots as well as freckles. Some skin is affected by pigmentary changes at birth, called nevi or birthmarks. Regardless of the pigmentary condition, LightPod lasers can safely and effectively treat your pigmented lesion, resulting in an even and uniform skin tone.This slightly more aggressive treatment aims to gently vaporize moderate sun damage and fine lines. It is recommended that a topical anesthetic is applied before treatment.
The best candidates for skin rejuvenation are patients with skin types I-III showing initial to extensive signs of aging such as fine lines, minor wrinkles, deep wrinkles and sun damage. Other patients may respond to such treatments, but as a segment, the patients aforementioned typically see the best results. Desired results and expected downtime should be discussed with your practitioner as more aggressive treatments will result in a longer recovery period, but will achieve greater results. As with any laser procedures, while the skin's texture and appearance will be improved, the body's natural aging process will still continue so continuous skin care must be adhered to and subsequent treatments may be needed in the next 6-18 months.
What is the difference between Refresh.,Reveal., and Renew.?
Essentially, the major differences between each of the treatments are the aging conditions that are the focus of treatment and the depth of ablation that is required in order to obtain the patient's desired outcome.
How many treatment sessions are required?
Generally, only one treatment session is needed for any ablative treatment, but subsequent sessions may be needed anywhere from 6 to 18 months following treatment, to upkeep any normal progression of aging. Typically, the more aggressive the treatment the longer you will be able to go before a subsequent treatment.
Is it permanent, or will my signs of aging come back?
While your skin will have a much more youthful tone, texture and appearance, the skin will continue to age so maintenance treatments may be required in the future. To reduce the signs of aging it is important to wear sunscreen, which will slow any increase of wrinkles and sun damage.
Can it be used on dark skin?
Certain treatments may carry a heightened risk for certain skin types. The type of results that you would like to achieve versus the treatment options and risks should be discussed at length with your practitioner in order to decide on the best treatment regiment.
What happens after treatment and when can I expect to see an improvement in my condition?
Improvement may be seen anywhere from immediately after the treatment to a couple weeks after. Each individual result can vary as each person responds to the treatment through his or her particular immune system and collagen restorative response. Depending on the aggressiveness of the procedure and your body's healing process, the time to fully recover may take anywhere from 1-28 days, but the final results should not be judged until 6 months after aggressive treatments as the collagen production and remodeling takes about 6 months to complete.

"Certain beauty to that"
After my shaded Druid Hills, I walked through Candler Park itself and the neighborhood of the same name, under intermittent sunshine, toward the train station. I saw some old wooden furniture left out for the taking or the trash. "Certain beauty to that," I had said aloud, as I contemplated the impending summer in the South.

The average commute is now 30 minutes – four minutes longer than in 2012, according to Regus
New research published by global workspace provider Regus, to coincide with this week's National Work Life Week, shows that the average British one-way commute is now nearly half an hour (29.6 minutes) compared to 26 minutes two years ago.
A quarter of the 3,600 business people canvassed in Regus' research said that their journey to work took between thirty and sixty minutes, with 15% regularly travelling for over an hour each way. Employees in large firms appear to endure the longest commutes, clocking up a one-way average of 39 minutes.
This is despite all the evidence that shorter commuting times boost employee productivity, motivation and work-life balance.
Commuting is often linked to the persistence of presenteeism in the British workplace. In a previous study, only two fifths of employees in large firms told Regus that managers in their company are being recognised and rewarded for encouraging flexible working, compared to just over half in small firms. Similarly, nearly eight out of ten respondents in large firms, and seven out of ten in SMEs, agreed that managers are most likely to consider employees arriving early and leaving late as the most hard-working.
Steve Purdy, Managing Director at Regus, commented, "Employers need to encourage healthier working practices that benefit all staff, not just working parents.
"Cutting lengthy journeys to work should be top priority for any work-life balance initiative, which means offering staff a choice in where and when they work. Our experience of helping firms harness flexible workspace that promotes a more modern attitude to work shows that there are many organisational and practical challenges to address too – but the rewards are substantial."
One example of a small company that has reaped the benefits of cutting unnecessary commutes is Lucid Communications, a communications consultancy in West London. During the recession the firm adopted a virtual business model, using a Virtual Office from Regus, dispensing with their old full-time physical office in Chiswick.
Paul Townsend, Director, explains, "The decision to close our office was initially cost-driven, but it quickly proved to be an all-round better and healthier way of working. The time we save on commuting translates into extra family time, or sometimes extra work time, and we feel less stressed and more motivated.
"Working remotely actually galvanised the team, as it requires greater effort to communicate effectively and that brought new discipline and focus. We don't miss our old office at all."
Lucid's staff and associates now work at home, at client sites or at Regus centres, where they also hold regular face-to-face team meetings. Paul adds, "It's a cost-effective model too: our annual costs for the VO and workspace when we need it are a third of what they were for our old office."
Previous research from Regus has shown that over two fifths of flexible workers put in longer hours when they don't have to commute every day, highlighting the link between flexible working and productivity.
Regus has 300 business centres in the UK, and a global network of 104 countries. www.regus.co.uk

A new self-fusing silicone repair tape is designed to provide a watertight seal and conform to any surface, according to manufacturer Rust-Oleum Industrial Brands.
LeakSeal Self-Fusing Silicone Tape creates an air-tight, chemical- and moisture-resistant bond by fusing with itself, instead of sticking to the substrate, the company says.
High-Temp Resistance
The tape can withstand 700 psi and most solvents, acids and oils. According to Rust-Oleum, it is resistant to temperatures ranging from -85°F to 500°F.
LeakSeal Tape bonds to itself, creating a water- and air-tight seal, according to Rust-Oleum.
LeakSeal Tape can be applied to dry substrates by being stretched and overlapped in layers by half an inch. The tape is easy to remove and does not leave a residue, the company says.
"LeakSeal Tape is a very versatile product," said Kelly Markle, Rust-Oleum product manager. "It's perfect for fixing leaky pipes and hoses or for insulating frayed electrical wires. Unlike other tapes on the market, this product goes unmatched in heat, corrosion, insulation and pressure resistance."
The tape is available in 10-foot rolls in black and opaque.

You'd be forgiven if you hadn't heard of Roberta Vinci before today. However, that's all about to change, as the Italian tennis player has shot to public attention having caused one of the greatest upsets in the history of women's tennis, after she beat number one seed Serena Williams in the U.S Open semi-finals.
Defending champion Williams had been attempting to complete the calendar Grand Slam, but was unexpectedly knocked out in a gripping 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 semi-final. While Williams was left to stomach a rare taste of defeat, 32-year-old Vinci found instantly herself thrust in the full glare of the global media spotlight.
But what do we know of the Italian tennis champion who robbed Serena of her grand slam dream?
Roberta Vinci was born in Taranto, the daughter of Angelo Vinci, an accountant, and his wife Luisa, a homemaker; she has an older brother, Francesco. Vinci was introduced to tennis at the age of six. She currently resides in Palermo, and is coached by Francesco Cina.
She had actually already done quite well for herself on the international tennis circuit. She made her name as the World No. 1 in doubles partnering with Sara Errani. As of 8 September 2015, Vinci was ranked World No. 43 in singles and No. 35 in doubles winning 32 WTA Tour titles, 9 in singles and 25 in doubles, including the 2012 French Open, the 2012 US Open, the 2013 Australian Open and 2014 Australian Open, and 2014 Wimbledon titles with regular partner Sara Errani. In doing so, they became only the fifth pair in tennis history to complete a Career Grand Slam.
However, the best friends caused a shock when they announced they were to split in 2015 to focus on their singles careers. "After living a wonderful journey for the past several years, which has given us the chance to reach amazing results, we release the following note to inform you about our decision to end our doubles partnership," the Italians wrote in a joint statement. They added: "It's our common purpose to start new individual career paths and set brand new goals to try to reach, also for you to enjoy and take pride in."
It was not expected that the diminutive Vinci might be able to replicate her doubles success alone and it was even said of her by her critics that she "doesn't have the firepower to seriously test the top players". How wrong they were.
The victory against Serena was a shock to everyone, including Vinci, who admitted in her post-match press conference that she didn't think she would win against the grand slam champion.
"It's tough to explain, because I don't have many- maybe also in Italian the words that can I explain really, because it's amazing. Maybe if yesterday [you] told me, 'Okay, tomorrow you can win against Serena', I say, 'Come on.' Yesterday I called my travel agency to say, Okay, book me a flight, because you know... (Laughter.) ... I think it's the best moment of my life," she added.
At 32, she is the oldest first-time Grand Slam semi-finalist in the Open Era. And as she braces herself for the first ever all Italian final against Flavia Pennetta, you can be sure Roberta Vinci is a name you'll be hearing a lot more of.

South East conference international keynote: Detroit & Windsor - a tale of two cities
As part of the South East International Group, CIH members and guests recently visited the USA and Canada to look at large scale, inner city decline and regeneration projects. Chris Moquet, CIHSE International Group and Jerry Paffendorf, Loveland Technologies provided an overview of the visit.
The city of Detroit has seen its population drop from a height of 2 million to 700,000. Initially this happened with affluent white populations being encouraged to move out to the suburbs (now 5 million people) to be replaced by black households during the 1970s. However, the collapse of manufacturing followed by the financial crisis has led to tens of thousands of empty homes in the 20 square mile city centre – known as 'blight'.
Housing regeneration is done within a public-private partnership, providing a strong community voice through a 50-year 'Detroit Future City' strategic framework. Main objectives are catalytic action (pilots), strategic co-ordination of various bodies and informed decision making using data. The plan includes employment districts, transport, green landscaping, developing attractive neighbourhoods and a 50-year land use vision.
To support the vision, LOVELAND Technologies began mapping every parcel of land in the inner city, with 150 volunteers assessing neighbourhoods via an app. LOVELAND has now expanded their mission to map every parcel of land on the planet.
Geographical data analysis can identify clusters or properties and neighbourhoods for targeted action. Owners of abandoned homes are contacted and given time to reoccupy, sell or improve these homes before they are compulsory acquired into a Landbank. The Landbank how holds 100,000 properties and auctions them online as they are, but has recently begin to offer refurbished homes.
Redevelopment is supported through the Great Lakes Capital Fund with more than 130 investors, including Google. The Community Investment Act means federal banks have to invest in the community at favourable rates to fund housing projects.
Windsor is in Canada but only 750 metres away from Detroit. It is much smaller, with a 200,000 population without the urban sprawl and suburb living seen in the wider Detroit metropolitan area.
Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation (WECHC) owns and manages around 4,700 units of housing (half family and half older people's). 75 staff with housing officers manage 1,000 properties each. The homes have a high void standard with every property fully decorated with laminate flooring and rent based on 30 per cent of household income topped up by subsidy if needed.
A partnership with the University of Windsor see internships join WECHC as part of their degrees in social work, healthcare, business, law and music therapy. Students need to complete a placement to complete their studies with around 45 students on placement with WECHC at any time. The project has grown from one neighbourhood in 2005 to over six communities benefitting from the presence of the students focusing on supporting those in the community that that may feel isolated, marginalised or living in poverty.
Lessons for the UK:
- Regeneration is a long-term commitment: Partnerships need to transcend the political cycle and have an acceptance that it may take generations to deliver visions. Maintaining this approach is tough and requires significant relationship management
- Local understanding leads to locally relevant solutions: Subsidised land purchase would be ineffectual if it were not for complementary projects such as the entrepreneurial research, micro-orchards and business start-up initiatives.
- Investment has a commercial foundation: The relationship between the sectors of government, business and charity function in a qualitatively different way in the US in favour of long-term commercial dividend. Catalytic wealth redistribution did not come directly from government treasuries but from tax incentives, flexible lending, and proof of concept investment
- Social housing risks becoming residual housing for the economically inactive

I love the little morsels that can be gleaned from old newspapers (and the fact that old newspapers published personal tidbits that would never make it into today's papers). Here's a little morsel about a road trip taken in October 1915 by three of A. J. Brodhead & Ophelia Easton Brodhead's surviving adult children: Garret Brodhead (67), Jean Struthers (Brodhead) Blakslee (57), and Charlotte Elizabeth (Brodhead) Burk (60).
Along for the ride were their brother James Easton Brodhead's wife (Harriet Locklin Boyd) and youngest son (Nathaniel Boyd Brodhead – 24), Garret's wife Annie Kocher, Jean's husband Charles Blakslee, and Charlotte's husband Franklin C. Burk. Destination — Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This was two years after the 50th anniversary events took place at the historic battleground.
The distance from Flemington to Gettysburg is about 168 miles. Today, it's a 2-hour and 40-minute journey. Back in 1915 (see map below—click to enlarge), I imagine it must have taken quite a bit longer given road conditions and vehicle capabilities. Of course, we don't know what they were driving. I perused the vehicles showcased on the Early American Automobile website, which has many amazing vehicles on display, and my eyes settled on the 1915 Overland Model 82 Touring Automobile. Imagine taking a road trip over the roads of that era in a setup like that. An earlier vehicle, the 1909 Thomas Flyer 6/40 Touring car, is shown inset to give you an idea of what a packed touring car could look like. They could really 'pack 'em in'—the more the merrier, I suppose, especially since getting stuck in muddy unpaved roads was more of a possibility back then, and you'd need plenty of man- and woman-power to get out of a jam. But hopefully the weather was fine and dry and the Brodhead contingent had only to admire the autumn leaves and the splendid scenery as they made their way to Gettysburg!
The below clip is from YouTube (published by manowaradmiral on June 7, 2012). If you go to the YouTube page the contributor has posted a lengthy, interesting description of the 1915 Overland Model 80's specifications and capabilities. Click here.

It is ghost story competition time; expect no mercy and a brutal onslaught to a final moment of glory!
Yet..Toastmasters is about learning and growth step by step and we do it in only one way: sharing everything and building upon our hidden greatness.
This short attempt is in this light to help the participants and make it a great event of some laughter but mainly to cause shivers down the spine!
Stories, also ghost stories need tension, good and bad guys, a victim, and a happy ending.
Little Red Riding Hood (our victim), the bad wolf (bad guy), the forester (good guy), cheating (wolf in grandma's bed), a climax (wolf killed with an ax), grandma and LRRH emerge smiling and lives happily ever after..(happy ending)
About any story ever, any movie you name follows this pattern. It works and audiences love it.
Some great guidelines from Janie Oosthuisen of Skryfgeheime:
· Have a great main character. She/he has a special talent. Run fast, clever, arty, beautiful like Snowwhite.. Loveable like Little Red Hiding Hood.
· She/he lives in a nice place. Yet all sort of weird things tend to happen, especially midnight after the moon as risen..perhaps something's lurking on the roof...
· Our hero has a problem, a big one. A strong wind, a big noise, a huge spider or ...a ghost!!
· Yet she has friends (the forester, the 7 dwarfs or...a friendly ghost!). Also they have special talents a when banding together just anything is possible.
· Now it is time bad the baddies to enter. They also have special powers and if a ghost can penetrate solid walls or drift in thin air. No end to the misery they can cause.
· Let the story flow aimlessly colouring on here and there when ..SUDDENLY, something terrible happens. Nothing, but nothing will ever be the same.
· Our hero/victim and her helpers must now make plans like never before. They think it's easy but dream on..nothing works and we move from bad to worse like when the wolf swallowed both LRRH and her grandma!
· We failed miserably, our heroes and dear victim sink further in the mud and there seems to be no hope. But, wait a bit...:
· A miracle happens, our great hero (friendly ghost?) comes up with a miracle cure/idea and the sun is shining bright yet again. The villains are crushed and were never heard of again.
· Our victim and her friends live happily ever after.
· And..there must be a twist in the tail.... leave the audience with a smile and a tear..
From Susan Williams, president of Honeydew Toastmasters Club and professional writer of Prosecoms Pty Ltd (www.prosecoms.co.za ) these jewels:
There are three types of ghost stories:
· A funny ending. That is where I made a huge mistake with the ghost as it was actually the gown or sun hat behind the door.
· A story without an ending like an urban legend.
· With a spine chilling ending, the type that grandpa told us and we were too afraid to sleep.
To do it follow some steps:
· A ghost with a story like the murdered girl form Uniondale. Perhaps searching for his lost chopped off head. The crying baby during full moon, searching for her lost fortune or lover..
· A spooky place: be descriptive, involve the senses of the audience, a creaking door, an old hospital, eve of midnight.
· Atmosphere: what do we smell, sulphur perhaps?, raising neck hair, shivers down the spine..
To write any story is hard, hard work, yet a brilliant way to be creative and food for the soul.
Just do it, grab a pen/keyboard and just start with "Once upon a time there was a and a..". The rest will follow by itself ..

Ladies, sometimes I am reading your blog posts about your boyfriends, or about dates you went on, and thinking, "Holy sweet crap. I'm glad that I'm not that guy." Not because you aren't collectively lovely.
It's just that I'm a pretty private dude.
And some of you chicks talk about some shit.
True story.
I don't think that I could date a female blogger who writes (literal) posts about her relationships.
I don't need a girlfriend writing:
"Dear blog, It is 9 am on a Saturday and Peter is on the couch, in his boxers, eating cereal, watching English soccer and woohoo-ing whenever Liverpool scores. I'm going to beat him."
"Dear blog, Peter once again floated the idea of buying a new one when I asked him to scrub the toilet. I'm going to beat him."
"Dear blog, Motherfucker brings that French maid uniform into the bedroom again and I am going to cut him. He just doesn't look good in it!"
It would be totally different if I wasn't a blogger and didn't "know" so many of you people. I just don't want you nosy bastards knowing my business.
No offense.
If I wasn't a blogger and a girlfriend wanted to tell me about a post she wrote about me, I'd probably react like this…
"I don't give a shit. Now get in that kitchen and make me a GODDAMN sammich!!!"
Wait. That doesn't really sound like me at all. What about this one…
"That's super. You are so cute when you get excited about your little stories. Now why don't you go to the mall and buy yourself something pretty while I watch "The Wire?" *slap on the ass* Go on. Git!"
Hmm. That's not me either. (IS NOT!)
"I love you, sweetie. I really do. But, I'll love you just *that* much more, if you can tell me about how you shared our dirty laundry, with everyone on the planet with internet access, at half time. Cool? Cool."
Thaaaat's the right ballpark.
Also, what if you are dating a blogger and things end badly? As delightful as I am, it has happened in a relationship or two of mine. (No, really!) Granted it was always their fault, but whatever.
"No, Peter, I am not really interested in a polygamous lifestyle."
I don't need a jilted ex writing a "So, we broke up, now let me tell you about Peter's Rainbow Brite tattoo on his ass and his strange Oprah fetish" post.
Hypothetically speaking.
Maybe if I had nude photos to bust out for some Mutually Assured Destruction action. I dunno.
So, yeah, I could probably never date a female blogger that talks about her personal life.
Unless she is REALLY cute.

CBS News '48 Hours', October 12, 1989
The CBS News '48 Hours' production crews were riding with Boston Fire Department members for a two-week period of time in October, 1989. The purpose of the ride-along was to document the activites of an urban fire department in action. On October 12, 1989, a midday 9-alarm fire occurred in a 6-story brick Chinatown warehouse building. Water problems, storage of fireworks and a daycare center located in the building made the extinguishment of the fire very difficult.

By Brian Stelter, CNN
(CNN) - Jana Winter, a Fox News reporter who had been facing the threat of jail time for refusing to reveal her confidential sources, said Wednesday that she was grateful that New York's highest court had protected her through a 4-3 ruling the previous day.
The New York Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that Winter, whose sources for a story about the accused Aurora, Colorado, movie theater gunman James Holmes were pursued by Holmes' attorneys, would not be compelled to return to Colorado to testify in Holmes' trial.
The appeals court ruling, which cited the state's shield law for journalists, was a setback for Holmes' attorneys and a significant victory for Winter, Fox News and the wide array of news organizations and journalism advocates that had supported her in the case.
Winter, a reporter for FoxNews.com who is based in New York, was seeking to protect her sources for a July 25, 2012 article titled "Movie massacre suspect sent chilling notebook to psychiatrist before attack." The existence of the notebook and the contents of it (an unnamed source was quoted as saying that it was "full of details about how he was going to kill people," including "drawings and illustrations of the massacre") triggered headlines and leak investigations because officials such as Holmes' psychiatrist had been barred from speaking to the media about him.

Senior Home Care Services in Smyrna, TN and the Surrounding areas
Compassionately providing expert senior home care services in Middle Tennessee
Comfort Keepers has provided senior home care services to Smyrna and the Surrounding Communities of Greater Brentwood, TN including Rutherford County for more than ten years. One thing that drove Steve and Carol to take ownership was their desire to play a positive role in the lives of the members of their community. They were also driven by the joy they get from caring for others.
The joy that Steve and Carol feel as a result of caring for others comes in part from helping people overcome struggles they face when they age. Steve and Carol understand some of these struggles well. They watched their parents go through some of them when their parents aged.
As owners of Comfort Keepers, Steve and Carol are rewarded with the satisfaction that comes from caring for members of their community. Community members are rewarded with the compassionate care services that the Nichols provide. The mutually beneficial relationship that Steve and Carol have with their community is one that they hope to grow in the future.
Our Care Services
Our interactive caregiving techniques allow us to provide personal and companion services to our clients. These senior home care services help our clients stay mobile and independent. This often includes providing transportation for our clients, helping our clients keep appointments, and accompanying clients on excursions, errands, or other outings.
Community Events
Our clients enjoy a number of activities and events around Smyrna, including visits to the Smyrna Senior Center, which offers outings, Bingo, lunch, dancing, birthday parties, and other activities. Some of the activities that our clients enjoy the most are part of local events and celebrations. Heritage Days at the Sam Davis Home and Museum is one of these events. A vintage car show, in which clients can ride in one of the featured cars, is another. Grandparents Day at the Sam Davis Home is also an event that clients enjoy.
Going out to eat is something that our clients also like a lot. Ruby Tuesday, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Ponderosa Steakhouse are among the most popular eateries frequented by our clients.
Care Services
Our services ensure that our clients stay healthy, active, and engaged. We provide senior home care services like light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, medication reminders, or bathing and dressing. We also provide long-term extended care, which includes Alzheimer's and dementia care. We understand that families cannot always care for their loved ones when they want to, so we offer 24/7 in-home care. This assures that clients are cared for at all times.
Preparedness is important to us. We ensure that our care aides are prepared to provide the services our clients need. To help achieve this aim, our caregivers go through an exhaustive application process, which includes extensive background checks and tests. They also undergo rigorous training and take part in ongoing education related to forms of care.
The goal of this screening and preparation is to ensure that we have the most qualified people taking care of our clients.
Community Ties
Comfort Keepers is a part of the Smyrna community. We are associated with numerous organizations, including the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce. We take advantage of the resources in our community to provide the care that our clients need and deserve.
We work with hospitals, doctors, hospice, home health care, assisted living providers, and nursing homes in the area to provide expert care. These include the TriStar Stonecrest Medical Center. All of our home helpers provide transportation for our clients to and from these facilities or meet our clients at these facilities if needed.
Our goal is to match our clients' needs with the right senior home care services. This might be as simple as providing a ride home from rehab or providing 24/7 care. No matter what kind of care our clients need, we are here to help. Call us at (615) 942-0111.

A Public Sphere for Poetry, Politics, and Nature
There are many stories about how different Native American peoples invented the flute. In one tale, woodpeckers pecked holes in hollow branches while searching for termites; when the wind blew along the holes, people nearby heard its music.
Modern Native American flutes are generally tuned to a variation of the minor pentatonic scale, which gives the instrument its distinctive plaintive sound. It is widely believed that listening to this music slows the heart rate, relieving stress.

Nearing the end of my trial period with the Phonak Audeo Smart IX with MyPilot, Icom & TVlink. So far like them pretty well other than the $6025.oo price. A few weeks ago my audio installed the first programs other than automatic: StereoZoom & ZoomControl. As soon as she did this I had a bad sparkly static in the left ear when in StereoZoom & ZoomControl. She could even hear it while still in my ear. You could move the HA a short distance from my head and it would stop, then put it back close it would start again. Phonak decided it was a corupt file. She went thru a whole new setup…still the same. Went back today after she orderd in a complete new aid for the left…all is still the same if not worse. Going back Tuesday to meet her with Phonak engineers.
Anyone else had a problem like this ?

TARGET 8 investigates impact of Uber, Lyft on drunk driving
COLUMBIA - Columbia visitor Zach Walther describes Uber as "convenient."
The 23-year-old frequently uses the ride-sharing app, which arrived in Columbia three years ago in October 2014.
"It's all on my phone, I don't have to worry about finding rides, or dealing with finding taxis, or getting any sort of public transit," Walther said."It's just quick and convenient to do."
When Walther plans to grab drinks with friends, he uses the app to get home safely.
"If you've been drinking it's just an easy way to make sure that you have an option," he said. "You don't have to worry about what you're going to do. You can just go out and have a good time, and know that you've got a safe way to get home."
Walther's decision to use the app for a safe ride home is similar to what Uber advertises on its website.
"There's a strong correlation between Uber's presence in cities and a reduction in drunk driving. And we've partnered with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in the U.S. to raise awareness about safer ways to get home. Because having more options leads to better outcomes."
A recent news release by Lyft included statistics that echo Uber's statement:
"Studies have shown that ride-sharing can have a positive impact on public safety, reducing alcohol-related driving arrests by up to 51 percent and DWI deaths by more than 10 percent."
Although Gov. Eric Greitens recently signed a law that would allow ride-hailing services to operate statewide, four Missouri cities welcomed Uber years ago. Those cities included Springfield, St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia. KOMU 8 News spoke with Rep. Kirk Mathews, R-Pacific, who was the ride-sharing bill's initial sponsor, before Greitens signed the law on April 24. When asked why the law was needed, Mathews cited public safety with alcohol-related incidents as "first and foremost."
"In other states where these regulations have been enacted, drunk driving arrests have fallen," Mathews said. "We want to make it easy for someone who maybe had a little bit too much to drink to just open their app and get a ride home, rather than try to get behind the wheel of their car."
Target 8 Investigators wanted to see whether Uber's presence in Columbia has influenced the number of alcohol-impaired driving crashes since the service arrived in 2014.
Scott Jones, who works as the Missouri Highway Safety Program Administrator, said there has been no evident difference in crash prevention since Uber appeared.
"Trend-wise, with Columbia in general, it's stayed roughly the same as far as fatalities and serious or disabling injury crashes," Jones said. "Statewide it's been quite a bit of a reduction, but in Columbia itself, it looks like it's stayed relatively the same."
Data of crashes with alcohol impaired drivers annually in Columbia, Missouri —
The above data is provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation.
At this time, Jones said Uber's influence is "probably too early to tell."
"When we look at the hard numbers it looks like it's roughly the same, but that's really only about a two year time frame that we're looking at, since our data from 2016 is preliminary and obviously 2017 we're in the middle of right now," he said.
Despite the lack of evidence, Jones does not discourage people from using these services.
"I think we need to give it some time, but just on face value it's kind of common sense, it gives people that option to get themselves home and I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Statewide, the number of fatalities has continued to increase; however, alcohol and drug impaired crashes have decreased.
"We are for 2016 at 947 fatalities, and even though that's been going up, our number of impaired driving related crashes have been going down," Jones said.
Create your own infographics
Data of crashes involving at least one substance impaired driver in Missouri annually —
The above data is provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation.
When asked why the substance impaired crashes are decreasing, Jones said, "people have kind of been getting the message."
Jones also referenced statewide programs and resources aimed to increase awareness.
"We have put quite a bit of resources into both educating drivers and the motoring public on the dangers of alcohol or drug impaired driving," Jones said. "Also, we do a lot of programs with law enforcement to try to boost enforcement especially on certain campaigns throughout the year."
Jones said these campaigns are not intended to deter people from enjoying themselves.
"We're not at all saying 'don't have a good time.' By all means go out and enjoy yourself, but just make sure that you have a safe way home," he said. "Whether it be a friend to drive you, city transportation, a taxi or the ride-sharing services that are now coming out."
Target 8 Investigators also looked into the number of DUI arrests in Columbia reported before and after Uber's arrival.
Data of DUI arrests annually in Columbia, Missouri —
The above data can be found in the statewide Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Statistical Query.
Bryana Larimer, a public information officer for CPD, told KOMU 8 News in an email, "I would not be able to speculate on whether or not the decrease is because of Uber."
Larimer also included CPD's statement on ride-hailing services in Columbia.
"As a department, we encourage the use of designated drivers, ride-sharing programs, and available public transportation as alternatives to impaired driving," Larimer said.
Uber customer Walther said he plans to continue using the service, with no intention of hailing local taxis.
"Uber is usually cheaper and easier to find," Walther said.
