The summer crowds are a receding memory as the days pass into autumn in the towns and islands along the New Brunswick shore of the Bay of Fundy, but there's still time to come here to enjoy the deliciously slow pace of life by the sea.
In a country like Canada, there is no shortage of fantastic scenery, wonderful food and inspiring experiences, but some of them are overshadowed by better known attractions. The Bay of Fundy is one of those places that is sometimes overlooked. Everyone knows that it has the highest tides in the world and you may even be able to point it out on the map, but what else do you know about the area?
I recently spent some time discovering the region and was thrilled by its beauty and charmed by the unfailing friendliness of the people there. Here are some of the highlights of places along the bay that I visited and would still welcome visitors well into October, if not later:
Not strictly located on the bay, but connected to it by the Saint John River, this city is the gateway to the region. You can get a sense of the power of Fundy's famous tides at Saint John's most famous attraction, the Reversing Falls, although these days they are often referred to as the Reversing Rapids. The incoming tide reverses the flow of the river current and where the two meet, a roiling, churning set of rapids appear. If you like getting wet, you can ride through the whitewater on a jet boat (jetboatrides.com).
The city is filled with history. In its compact centre, known as Uptown (uptownsj.com), you can admire centuries-old architecture, explore a faded Loyalist graveyard, look out at the harbour or browse the local delicacies at the city market. Dulse, a dried seaweed that is a favourite among New Brunswickers either as a snack or meal add-on, is easily available in the market, but it is an acquired taste that I failed to acquire as I found it tasted a bit too much like lawn mulch. Your mileage may vary.
Eat at: Saint John Alehouse (saintjohnalehouse.com), where they serve lobster rolls on buns the size of footballs or Britt's Pub (brittspub.ca) with its delicious pub grub with a Maritime flair.
Stay at: The Saint John Hilton (www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/new-brunswick/hilton-saint-john-STJHIHH/index.html) for its fine service and harbour views and easy access to uptown's attractions.
The Bay of Fundy is dotted with a multitude of islands which people flock to when they want to escape the big-city grind. One of the most popular getaways is Grand Manan, a 137-square kilometre island which is accessible in 90 minutes by ferry from Black's Harbour. There's not really much to "do" here, except unplug and relax. You can walk along the shore to listen to the surf and the seabirds, admire historic lighthouses, watch stunning sunsets or write a book, like Pulitzer-winning author Willa Cather did when she summered there.
I enjoyed my time exploring the historic smoke sheds at Seal Cove, remnants of the herring fishery industry that once thrived there, and paddling the waters nearby in a sea kayak with guides from Adventure High (adventurehigh.com).
Eat at: Inn at Whale Cove is a delightful little dining room with a menu that emphasizes the bounty of the sea around the island. Everything is fresh and perfect. (whalecovecottages.ca).
Stay at: The Shorecrest Lodge is a fine example of the many century-old homes that have been converted into B&Bs and inns. It was like staying at grandma's house. (shorecrestlodge.com). The Inn at Whale Cove is another good option. The aforementioned writer Willa Cather had a cottage here.
Founded by United Empire Loyalists in the 18th century, this charming and tidy town is rich with history and a place which has had centuries to practice the art of making visitors feel welcome.
For history, check out Covenhoven, William Van Horne's sprawling summer estate on Minister's Island (ministersisland.net). It is accessible at low tide when you can drive across a rocky causeway. Van Horne was one of the builder's of the Canadian Pacific Railway and this mansion and its outbuildings amply illustrates how rich he was.
Other attractions include an interesting blockhouse that dates to the time of the War of 1812 (www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/nb/standrews), the lovely Kingsbrae Garden, a 27-hectare horticultural garden that changes with the seasons (kingsbraegarden.com) and a row of whale-watching outfits on the harbourfront which can take you out on the bay to see minke and fin whales which are plentiful in this region. We saw plenty of them when we went out with Fundy Tide Runners (fundytiderunners.com).
For golf lovers, the Algonquin resort's course is hard to beat with its fantastic views of the sea.
Eat at: The restaurant at the Rossmount Inn (rossmountinn.com/dining) is renowned as one of the best restaurants in New Brunswick, if not the country. The meals prepared here by chef Chris Aerni are not to be missed. The restaurant is not only a favourite with visitors, but locals also come to celebrate special occasions or to simply enjoy a good meal.
Stay at: The historic Algonquin Resort (algonquinresort.com) is undergoing a massive, $35-million renovation which will be spectacular when it is finished. Management is hoping that much of the hotel will be operational in October. Not as big, but certainly oozing history of its own is the Rossmount Inn (rossmountinn.com), a 3-storey manor house from 1889 that has stunning views of the bay.
For the longest time, the best views of the Bay of Fundy were enjoyed by hikers hardy enough to walk the Fundy Footpath, a challenging wilderness trail that hugs the coastline. Now those vistas are becoming accessible to anyone with a car thanks to the construction of the Fundy Trail Parkway (fundytrailparkway.com), a 16-kilometre scenic roadway that makes the coast more accessible and offers jaw-dropping views of the sea from cliff-top vantage points.
The Parkway starts just outside of the town of St. Martins. You can drive it, bike it or walk it. On the weekend, there is even a hop-on, hop-off shuttle bus that lets you linger at different viewpoints and explore the coastline at your own pace.
The parkways is expected to be completed in 2017 when it will link up with the roads leading to Fundy National Park (http://pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/nb/fundy) to the east.

When I explored the East San Diego County boondocks for the first time, I was searching for history, not really thinking about why that certain history became part of history. I was following Highway 94 using a highway history tour book as a guide.
Highway 94 used to be a major east-west thoroughfare in San Diego County…. Until the mid-1960s when Interstate 8 was built. That caused vehicle traffic to abandon Highway 94. People who relied on that vehicle traffic had to move, leaving their former homes and businesses behind.
I never really thought about the connection between vehicle traffic, businesses, and even who cities until I drove part of historic Route 66 from Santa Monica, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada. Suddenly I understood. The price of progress. People enjoyed getting from here to there much faster on Interstate highways.
Whole cities had been founded along railroad tracks, then along the first roadways, all to serve the people who traveled on the railroads and roadways. When the Interstate highway system came along, people no longer had a need to stop for a meal or sleep for the night. Driving from here to there could be accomplished easily in hours instead of days, weeks, or even months.
Those who understood what was happening, or going to happen, quickly moved their homes and businesses near the Interstates, simply abandoning their former homes and businesses.
Of the places I have visited, Jacumba and Barstow, both in California, seem to be the hardest hit. I can kind of understand Jacumba because it is out in the middle of nowhere. Barstow, however, is home to a huge railroad classification yard used by both BNSF and Union Pacific. Interstate 15 also runs smack dab through the middle of Barstow, so I'm not fully understanding what happened there unless people simply pass it by in their haste to get to Los Angeles or Las Vegas; Barstow is the midpoint.
Jacumba used to be Jacumba Hot Springs. It was a playground for the rich and famous from the Los Angeles movie, film, and recording industries, those who wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for the weekend. Here are two pictures of what once has a thriving Jacumba Hot Springs bath house:
I wanted to explore the interior so badly, but Jacumba is a small town and there are No Trespassing signs posted, so I didn't want someone to see me go inside and call law enforcement.
Sadly, I see the same thing happening now with our shopping malls. Few people want to get dressed, go outside, and drive to a mall to shop when they can simply join Amazon Prime Now and have virtually anything delivered today or tomorrow.
It's getting worse because the brick-and-mortar stores are losing foot traffic, and with the loss of that foot traffic comes a loss of inventory, so even when one does go to the mall, it's rare that they have the item that one is looking for. People go back home and get those items from Amazon Prime Now. Eventually those same people learn that it just isn't worth the time to go to the mall.
Some malls and shopping districts have lost so many shoppers and the resulting revenue that they have implemented parking fees. Huh? All that does is encourage people even more to shop at home on the computer with a cat on their laps, a dog by their sides, and a margarita sitting on their desks.
I don't have an answer, which is why I'm not a politician with all the answers. I did read recently that some abandoned malls have been renovated into office complexes. I liked that. I'm wondering if the likes of Amazon could, perhaps, turn some malls and buildings, or parts thereof, into warehouses for the products they carry. Then other parts of the malls or buildings could be personnel support centers for those bigger businesses.

Snowstorms to get names again this winter
- Winter Storm Nemo was a popular storm name last winter
- Naming system was %27a terrific success%2C%27 meteorologist says
- The first few names this winter will be Atlas%2C Boreas%2C Cleon%2C Dion%2C Electra and Falco
Remember Nemo? Get ready this winter for Atlas, Electra, Hercules and Rex: The Weather Channel, for the second year, will name snowstorms and blizzards.
The naming system "was a terrific success" last winter, said Bryan Norcross, meteorologist at The Weather Channel. "Nemo was the big storm of the winter and was by far the heaviest use of a name, which was mentioned in more than a million tweets."
Nemo walloped New England with up to 3 feet of snow in early February and killed 14 people in the USA.
The storm-naming criteria are based on National Weather Service thresholds for winter-weather warnings, The Weather Channel reports. The criteria also are based on the storm's expected impact on highly populated metro areas or over a large geographic region.
"Our first year of naming storms proved that it worked, and we were thrilled with the result, which was an ideal demonstration of the intersection of social media and television," Norcross says.
Social media, and Twitter in particular, was a key factor in The Weather Channel's decision to name the storms and continue the naming system this year. Hashtags are a key part of social media communication, Norcross says, and a storm name proved to be the best way to efficiently convey information about the storm.
As winter went on last year, the names seemed to grow in popularity, Norcross says. He saw them used by schools, power companies, newspapers and other organizations and said having a name "focused the conversation" on the storm. In all, 27 storms were named during the winter of 2013-14.
Last year, no other private meteorology firm or weather service used the names coined by The Weather Channel. Most of the reaction to the names was negative when the naming system was announced last year.
"In unilaterally deciding to name winter storms, The Weather Channel has confused media spin with science and public safety," said Joel Myers, founder and president of AccuWeather, a prime competitor of The Weather Channel. "We have explored this issue for 20 years and have found that this is not good science and will mislead the public."
Last October, the National Weather Service released this statement: "The National Weather Service has no opinion about private weather enterprise products and services. ... While the National Weather Service does not name winter storms, we do rate major winter storms after the fact."
Because of the federal government shutdown Tuesday, the weather service could not be reached for comment on its position on winter storm names this winter.
Because The Weather Channel is owned by NBC Universal, NBC stations and networks will probably use the winter storm names, though each division works on its own, Norcross says.
This winter's storm names are from lists created by students at Bozeman High School in Bozeman, Mont., as an assignment in Latin class and are again primarily from Greek and Roman mythology, as they were last winter. Bozeman was blasted by winter Storm Brutus in November 2012.
Among possible headlines this winter: "Cleon clobbers Cleveland," "Hercules hammers Hartford," "Leon lashes Lansing" and "Pax pounds Pittsburgh."
The full list: Atlas, Boreas, Cleon, Dion, Electra, Falco, Gemini, Hercules, Ion, Janus, Kronos, Leon, Maximus, Nika, Orion, Pax, Quintus, Rex, Seneca, Titan, Ulysses, Vulcan, Wiley, Xenia, Yona, Zephyr.

If you're not in the know like I am then you're probably clueless on "Hunger Games", a movie based on a book where kids are sent into a giant playing field and made to battle to the death. Well since it's based on a book and the movie is going to make the kids go gaga it's only stands to reason that the books would now be re-released with the hot teen heartthrobs adoring the cover. So here they are, the new hot sexy covers. I just used the word adorning.
When I was a kid and I popped in a VHS tape I knew I was in for a good time when I saw the Cannon Films logo come up. The "American ninja" movies alone filled up at least 3 years of a young Joe's life. And don't get me started on how much I loved the "Breakin'" films. Sadly, Cannon Films is gone but Documentary film maker Mark Harley is paying tribute to the classic video company with a new flick titled "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" which has just been picked up by Drafthouse Films for distribution. Seriously, you should have seen my fat 6 year old ass trying to break dance. It would've made you throw up.
"Cabin In the Woods" is a new horror flick from Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon about a guy who goes to a cabin with some friends and then finds a bunch of weird awful crap. I know that makes no sense but that's what we've got for a plot description. Want to get even more confused? Check out the new poster for the film. It's got a cabin all messed up like a rubix cube or some crap. I don't even know why I'm telling you this. Seriously, I was so fat and I was trying to do a head spin.
America may have never have gotten over the whole Tom Cruise going crazy thing but no one can deny that's he's just so tiny and adorable you want to lock him in your closet and keep him for your own. Every morning you'd wake up and peek inside the closet to see little Tom Cruise sleeping on the tiny little bed he's chained to. At night you'd dress him up in doll clothing and put on elaborate dinner shows with him as the star. All the while knowing that you've got one of Hollywood's top leading men as your little tiny man doll. It would be a dream. Anyway, Tom's going to star in "All You Need Is Kill" as a solider who gets trapped in a time loop when he's killed. I think I've said too much.

Why an elephant?
Why not puzzle pieces?
What does an elephant have to do with autism?
Most individuals on the spectrum have perseverations. They get stuck. They obsess. They dream. Their world revolves around their perseverations.
Parents and individuals working with these kids spend a lot of time balancing the act of encouraging their interests and hindering those interests. Drawing them away from their obsessions so they can learn, play, and be an active participant in their own lives. Yet honoring that they have interests, as do we all, and finding ways to help them learn using those interests.
For years upon years Brian's obsession, like many on the spectrum, was trains. Trains are so predictable. They have to stay on the tracks. They can only move in a linear motion yet their wheels spin. We have train bedding, toy boxes full of trains, train posters, train books, and train movies. We've participated in the Day Out With Thomas events numerous times. We have visited many railway museums. We have memorized every single engine name in the Thomas franchise.
Then one day right before his ninth birthday he decided he really loved animals- particularly exotic ones you would see at a zoo. It was such a blessing to us. Quite frankly, we were tired of trains.
He quickly amassed quite the collection of toy animals but this elephant became a steadfast companion. He carried it around for about four months, everywhere he went.
The change in interests not only gave us a happy reprieve from listening to the annoying DVDs over and over again but it opened Brian up to new avenues for learning. All of a sudden he was saying new words we had never heard him say: "rhinoceros", "hippopotamus", "flamingo". He was also spelling and drawing! We discovered we could give him a letter of the alphabet and he could tell us several animals that began with that letter. He poured over books about the African Sahara. All with his prized elephant in his hand of course.
It's no longer a steady presence in our home but it makes an appearance when Brian is sleepy or needs to self-soothe. He lies in bed, sucking on his thumb, and the other hand stroking the elephant's back. When he sees you looking in on him, he removes his thumb and smiles and says, "Elephant!". As if he wants us to know he has been reunited with his old friend and he couldn't be happier.
In many religions elephants are revered, they are a sign of strength and wisdom. I totally get it, they're revered here in our home as well.

So we saw the first Jeep Renegade in the wild over at Truck Yeah! And some folks are all panicked about how the tires are small, and how low it sits. You know what? I think it's fine. Hell, better than fine — extra-fine.
See, 90% of what these will be used for will not need huge tires or ground clearance measured in toddlers. A lower Renegade means better handling/CoG, easier entry/exit, and easier loading/unloading cargo. I'm sure it's also enough for some mild off-roading, too — hell, it looks like it has more clearance than a Yukon.
Also, I'm sure you can raise it and cram whatever big tires you want if you're serious about taking it off road.
Of course, many people, like our own Mikey B, don't agree with me. So let's have it out!

This website was once a repository of many blogs in Croatia. The domain had thousands of subdomains from different bloggers. Some of the most popular blogs include:-
3D Gimba
Atlantis miach
and many many others
Currently, I'm the new owner of the domain and I have other thoughts about it.
There are certain emotional and behavioral changes in a person that can be red flags of an underlying psychiatric problem that may need assessment.
Usually, such emotional changes are temporary and in time, a person experiencing them will adapt and life goes on as usual.
However, there are some emotional and behavioral changes that may be due to an underlying psychiatric disorder. If this is the case, it is important to address the changes sooner rather than later and treat the underlying condition.
Back in the day when I was in college
When I was in college, a close friend of mine started to show abnormal behaviors.
This friend, I didn't know, had been traumatized earlier in his childhood by abuse. We were in the second year in college when he started spending most of his time in the entertainment room.
Nonetheless, I thought that the change was because he really liked soccer and being a soccer fan too, I sort of understood this. At first, I saw nothing wrong about his sudden change, but later I realized that the situation was getting out of control.
Eventually my friend gradually moved into the entertainment room and seldom slept in his own room. Attending classes became an issue because he didn't sleep well and this made me worry more.
It was through the intervention of friends and the college administration that he agreed to go to hospital for a checkup.
Emotional Changes
After a full assessment, medics eventually gave a diagnosis of PTSD Anxiety Disorder.
Such behavioral and emotional changes may be common in preschool kids and teenagers as well as adults. Such changes can result from psychiatric issues that may need treatment as soon as possible.
As I re-purpose this website, I've decided to address the issue of cognitive and behavior disorders that affect various people. I will be looking at various underlying conditions and disorders that prompt people to act differently to usual.
Already there are some interesting stories about such behavior that I have published here.
But I will be seeking to publish substantiated and medical facts about the management of such disorders and what is in store for the future of patients. You can access posts by clicking through the various topics below.
Coping with Bipolar Disorder
It was in my fourth year of marriage when I noticed that my husband was behaving rather strangely. Firstly, he would stay up for hours at night reading or just playing computer games.
This was something he never did before and initially made me very angry.
This was because, at times, I felt that he was rejecting me or that he no longer loved me. As a matter of fact, I did not understand any of it and since I was nursing our daughter who was then a year and half old, I felt sad and alone.
Whenever I tried to confront him
He would just ignore me and keep quiet. This never went down well with me. I felt that I may need to end our marriage.
But before I did that, I decided to enlist the help of a marriage counsellor to try and salvage the marriage. I tried to talk to my husband about the issue of visiting a professional counsellor to help us address our issues since he was not ready to be open about what he was going through. But he was vehemently in opposition to the decision.
Furthermore, I didn't know what I could do. Even his brother, whom my husband had a lot of respect for, could not get him to open up about what was wrong with him.
About four months since the start of this strange behavior I found my husband sobbing alone in the sitting room at midnight.
He looked so pale and scared that I felt sorry for him. But I also felt very scared because I had no idea what he was going through or how to help him.
Support for People With Behavior Disorders
As I hugged him, I spoke to him about seeing a psychiatrist so that he could be checked for depression.
However, he was adamant that he did not need any help.
However, I really needed to help him. That morning I called a friend to seek advice. Then I realized that since the strange behavior started, I had distanced myself from my husband.
Hence, there was not much chance of connecting with him. I needed to start showing him love, care and support if he was going to listen to me and accept help.
For the next few days
Therefore, I made sure that we were together. I took him to dinner in our favorite hotel where we were engaged. At weekends, I left our daughter with the nanny and went with him to the gym for workouts or we would do outdoor activities together.
During the time I was showing him support, I realized that he was brightening up. He was coping with the situation better and even had a smile from time to time. However, there was still something strange about him.
He would still intermittently get mood swings. There were times that he would be happy, and then, all of a sudden, his mood would dampen as if he had remembered something awful.
Importance of Early Behavior Treatment
Eventually, with a lot of support, my husband agreed to see a mental health specialist.
The psychiatrist initially diagnosed him with >anxiety attacks and gave him some anti-anxiety drugs to help him suppress the overwhelming panic attacks.
In addition, the psychiatrist also discussed some natural ways to relieve anxiety. So, there was an improvement in the short term but the anti-anxiety drugs did not completely resolve the situation.
They helped for a while and we made some changes in his diet to help with anxiety.
My husband was now experiencing repeated ups and downs. The panic attacks had become more diverse and would recur often.
After about six months of using the meds
We talked about going back to the psychiatrist. When we were there we spoke about how intense the attacks had become and the need to do a thorough psychological evaluation to diagnose the underlying issue. This was at the point when my husband was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
In addition, he was given antidepressants and behavioral therapy. We also sought family therapy to help people who love my husband understand and cope with some of the issues.

Mrs. Haskel was a former English teacher at the illustrious College of San Mateo. In her semi-retirement, she taught two of the school's art history classes. Because art history counted toward the college's history requirement for graduation, many students signed up for her class thinking it would be an easy way to get history credits. They were sorely mistaken. These classes were notoriously difficult. They were among the most-dropped classes for the entire school.
Although Mrs. Haskel taught English as a profession, her passion was for art. Throughout her life, she had traveled extensively and actually had been in the presence of most of the pieces she lectured about. In fact, many of the slides she used during lecture were pictures she had taken with her own camera. This class was so difficult for me that I found it necessary to form a study group. I was surprised at how many willing participants there were.
The big points on tests were for correctly identifying the name of a piece. Within the study group, we focused on these names and came up with some great mnemonics. The names for ancient Egyptian pieces were a challenge for most students since the diction was so foreign. We decided on the image of Little Bo Peep for the temple of Hatshepsut.
Peep is standing at the top of a sand dune looking at the temple, dozens of white, fluffy sheep meander around her. She is wearing an enormous straw sun HAT with a blue ribbon that waves in the desert breeze. In her right hand, she holds a tall hickory SHEPpard's cane that she uses to keep the sheep in line. To prevent the sun's brilliance from blinding her she uses liberal amounts of SOOTy glare-guard under her eyes, like a pro football player...

Only three of us got the temple's name right on the final, and Mrs. Haskel graded on a curve.
