I can't even begin to tell you how gloriously wonderful the weather has been lately. It's a pity, because there aren't any leaves or anything yet, so it's a bit sad but the grass is green and if you look close enough you can see the buds on things. Much to my unhappiness, it has been windy. My original plan was to wear a skirt with the second outfit, but it was too windy and the skirt was of such a thin material as to make every movement against the breeze inappropriate! Instead I decided to repeat myself to my heart's content with some shorts and a blouse, and so here are two versions of the same outfit--basically.
I've bought a new purse, in an effort to stop carrying everything I own around with me at once (it's much smaller than what I usually pack myself). And still, I am in love with my hat. I wrote a funny little poem to it (it rhymes) the other day, and I think it is just the bee's knees! I will be tempted to wear it tomorrow also, but I'm afraid I must learn some manner or kind of self-restraint--although one could always discover another hat. I've just, at almost this very moment, finished watching HBO's Grey Gardens--which was lovely, though terribly bittersweet and sad--but I don't think I'm quite ready to take the flying leap into head-scarves.
At some point I will make all the posts I've been planning, the ones that are silly and thoughtful with funny citations and all that, and things of happiness, but for now we have outfit posts and the lingering wish to sleep.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Second after the first run, best time in the second run, forth World Cup victory, the first on US snow for the athlete from Salzburg. "The hard work has paid off. After the injury it was my goal to get back to where I had stopped", ATOMIC star Marcel Hirscher said confidently after the race.
The conditions in Beaver Creek were extreme: -16 degrees C at the start, -10 in the finish, the course constantly changed between narrow and wide radii, some points were super-flat. These were not the best conditions for flyweight Marcel Hirscher. But if you have a serviceman like Edi Unterberger, who had already made ATOMIC legends like Hermann Maier and Stephan Eberharter fast, and the multitasking abilities of the ATOMIC setup! Unterberger, "We tried a lot. Marcel was really focused and motivated during testing. Our material meets all requirements to support the athlete optimally under different conditions. This is an important point for best times." The whole ATOMIC D2 Race unit showed an inspiring performance: Benjamin Raich, ranking 4th after the first run, was on his way to best time when he dropped out five gates before the finish – he had reached a top result with rank 8 in the super-G. Philipp Schörghofer, third in Sölden, was seventh despite mistakes, Carlo Janka facing back problems ranked 8th. ATOMIC YOUNG GIRLS HAVE FUN Tina Weirather, the 22-year-old Liechtensteiner, celebrated her first World Cup podium. After the victory in highly competitive giant slalom in Vail, she ranked 2nd and 10th in the downhills in Lake Louise and 12th in the super-G. US American Alice McKennis also had a lot of fun after overcoming her injury. She ranked 8th in the first downhill in Lake Louise – her best World Cup result so far!

WADDINGTON - With a population of just 972, Waddington has set a record in Bassmaster Elite Series attendance.
A total of 34,100 people turned out for the Aug. 8 to 11 Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown at St. Lawrence River, breaking the record for the second time in the 2013 Elite Series season.
The previous four-day record of 33,650 was set at this seasons opener, the March 14 to 17 Sabine River Challenge presented by STARK Cultural Venues in Orange, Texas.
Mayor Janet Otto-Cassada said the Showdown attendance far exceeded her expectations.
You could not find someone whos happier than I am right now, she said after the crowd numbers compiled by law enforcement officials were released. The event put us on the map. I knew that it would draw people. I knew that it would be big because it was something new and different. We needed that here in upstate New York.

MASSENA - Following an invitation only forum held last week at the site of Massenas former GM plant, Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he would like to see the GM Task Force shift its focus from being a watchdog group to creating a vision for what they would like to site to one day look like.
What I took from the forum is we are seriously behind in terms of redeveloping the property, because we dont have a vision, he said.
The forum was attended by Mr. Gray, representatives from the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response (RACER) Trust, representatives from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, real estate brokers from both Syracuse and Canada, as well as three site selectors.
They were very frank in what were up against and where we stand, Mr. Gray said, referring to the forums attendees.
Business Development Corporation Executive Director Thomas Sullivan, who also sits on the task force, said now that the state has made Brownfield Opportunities Area (BOA) grants, he is optimistic that the task force can secure some of those funds to help market the property.
Money from a BOA grant will be able to help us create a vision, he said. We need to collectively come together and decide what an acceptable reuse for that site is, and until we do that, were not going anywhere.
Mr. Gray agreed and said, in his mind, a vision for the site is something that should have been done a long time ago.
This task force, I believe by design from the beginning, was tasked with finding a way to reuse this property, he said. Weve been spinning our wheels for two years.
RACER Assistant Redevelopment Manager Patricia Spitzley, who attended the meeting via conference call, said she thought the forum was a beneficial event.
Overall I think this was a very helpful process, she said. Were hoping that this exercise has generated some interest in the property.
While a vision for the site has yet to be determined, Mr. Gray and Mr. Sullivan said its important for the task force, as well as community members, to be realistic in what theyre hoping to see at the former site.
Is it likely were going to get a heavy industrial plant with 800 jobs? It is very unlikely, Mr. Gray said.
We have to be realistic about it, Mr. Sullivan added.
Mr. Gray then suggested creating a wish list for the property.
Also attending the meeting via conference call was Rosemary Edwards from the Empire State Development Corporation, who advised the task force that creating a vision for the property is about more than determining what they would like to see there.
The vision should also include what you dont want. We have to be pretty specific about what we dont want, as much as what we do want, she said.
St. Lawrence County Legislator Jason Clark, who chaired the meeting in the absence of task force chair and fellow legislator Anthony J. Tony Arquiett, said the topic will be discussed when the task force meets again in December.

Colville High clinched its second straight Northeast A League football title last Friday night, downing Chewelah and Derek Smith 41-20.
The win for the Indians (4-4, 4-1) sets up a first round State 1A playoff date with Omak on Friday night. Game time Friday night at CHS is 7 p.m.
Omak (2-3, 4-5) is fourth-seeded out of the Caribou-Trail League. The Pioneers were blasted 35-8 by top-ranked and unbeaten Cashmere (5-0, 9-0) last Friday night at Cashmere.
Cashmere will host Newport (3-2, 6-2) in a regional crossover game Friday night at 7 p.m.
Chelan (4-1, 6-3) will host Riverside (3-2, 5-4) in another crossover with State 1A playoff berth implications.
Cascade (1-4, 3-6) will host Chewelah (1-4, 3-5) in a non-advancement game on Friday night.
Freeman (4-1, 8-1) will host third-seeded Okanogan (3-2, 7-2) on Friday.
Indians must slow down Dylan Green
In the Cashmere vs. Omak game, the Bulldogs racked up 461 yards on the ground and held Omak running back Dylan Green to 98 yards rushing on 21 carries.
The Indians will have to stop the burly, 5-9, 216-pound Green, who holds most of Omak's career rushing marks.
"He owns every career rushing record Omak has," CHS head Randy Cornwell said of the Pioneers' primary offensive weapon. "He is a running machine."
Green is the focal point and has been almost since his freshman season. OHS doesn't do anything fancy, lining up in a one back set (Green).
"He's it…he carries it a lot," Cornwell said, adding that Green has "decent speed…he's strong, low to the ground…there's nothing fancy. He just punishes you."
Omak has good size up front and it's a veteran team with 18 seniors.
The Pioneers' feature a freshman quarterback who took over three games ago when a veteran senior went down with an injury.
"He doesn't look like a freshman," Cornwell said.
Colville was 9-0 heading into the crossover with the CTL and first-round opponent Cashmere last November. That was a tough draw for the NEA champions, who saw a great season come to a quick end against the power running of Cashmere.
A better match-up for CHS this time around
Cornwell likes his upstart Indians' chances on Friday night against Omak. Colville looks to have the best opportunity to escape Crossover Week against the tough CTL.
"I do like our chances," Cornwell said of his Colville team, the winners of four straight after an 0-4 start.
"The Northeast A has certainly taken it on the chin (from the CTL)…but I like our match-up. The kids have earned this. We expect to do well."
Green powers Omak and Colville senior Colton Davis powers the Indians.
Friday's crossover between the Pioneers and Indians should be a battle of wills up front—and the running of Davis and Green.
Neither team passes often—or all that effectively.
Davis has been mostly unstoppable in the NEA this fall. He rushed for 250 yards on 27 carries against a Chewelah team that pretty much knew who—and what—was coming.
The Indians do what they do—run a lot of misdirection out of the Wing T. CHS totaled 396 yards on the ground against Chewelah.
Scott Sheehan was 2 of 3 through the air for 28 yards.
Julio Valencia, healthy for the first time since early in September, seemed to have another gear and added 107 yards rushing on 14 carries.
Zach Shoemaker added 39 yards on 11 carries. He scored three touchdowns.
But like Blake Sjordal last season, Davis is the show and the featured back this fall. Davis, who has scored 15 touchdowns to date, has rushed for 1,203 yards. The 5-11, 195-pounder passed Brandon Katzer and Brock Dotts on the single season CHS rushing list and has moved into sixth place.
He is within striking distance of fifth place Gary "Tank" Peone (1963) and fourth place Sjordal (2010).
Davis has done something no CHS back has ever done—rush for more than 200 yards in three straight games. His individual rushing totals in the last three games: 32 carries for 234 yards; 30 carries for 230 yards and last Friday's 250-yard outing.
"He has just been very good," Cornwell said. "Colton is tough, physical and certainly fast enough."
The Indians needed all the offense they could muster against a Chewelah team that always gets up for its rivalry game with Colville.
Colville had trouble finding the elusive Smith all night. The senior quarterback was 14 of 29 through the air for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't throw an interception.
Smith scrambled for another 72 yards. Chewelah rushed for only 91 yards.
"We knew going in that Smith was a threat," Cornwell said of the quick, athletic Chewelah quarterback. "They spread everybody out…he's a good player.
"But by and large, I thought we did a pretty good job of containing them."
Cornwell said he liked the way his team responded after a bye week.
"We were healthier and ready to play," Cornwell said. "We did what we do…stuck to the concept and the kids blocked well up front. We're getting off the ball well and blocking well."
Freeman came from behind to register a 33-20 win at Nine Mile Falls over Lakeside (1-8, 0-5).
Fourth-ranked Freeman outscored Lakeside 21-0 in the second half after trailing 20-12 at halftime.
Quinn Robinson ran for 225 yards on 30 carries for the Scotties.
Zach Warlick had three touchdown passes and Justin Hause had a career-high 19 tackles for Lakeside.
In a non-leaguer at Chattaroy, one of the most surprising high school football teams in eastern Washington, Deer Park (8-1) routed neighboring Riverside 44-13.
DP quarterback Colton Mead completed 13 of 19 passes for 115 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first quarter.
Jason Jorgensen rushed for 153 yards and three touchdowns for Deer Park, who led 38-6 at halftime.

Gemini is the child of the air signs, ruled by Mercury. Gemini is intelligent, curious, clever, witty and articulate, interested in everything, fascinated by information and facts and always learning. As a mutable air sign, Gemini is particularly good at multi-tasking. The theme of duality runs right through this sign, and Geminis are often at their best when they are doing at least two things at once - such as reading a book while watching television, or checking their e-mails while talking to someone on the phone. This can also extend to other areas of life, since I have noticed that Geminis often buy two of this or that, and are immensely attracted to things that come in pairs, such as earrings and shoes!
As the butterfly of the zodiac, Gemini's strength is cross-fertilization - making connections, putting different bits of information and different people together. Gemini rules the hands and the arms, and they tend to be dextrous and to 'speak' with their hands. Gemini also rules the lungs, which deal with the taking in and giving out of air, or information. Gemini is a busy, active, light, youthful sign, and its mutability makes it very adaptable, flexible and changeable, with a mind like quicksilver and a real dread of being trapped or pinned down or of situations that might become 'heavy'. For example, if something more interesting comes along, then, regardless of previous commitments they may have made, they are perfectly capable of changing their minds and going off in a different direction. Usually very articulate, fascinated by language itself, very good with words, Gemini doesn't want to take anything too seriously.
One of Gemini's particular gifts is the ability to act as a go-between or intermediary, and to break the tension of a difficult situation with a well timed joke or observation. Taxi drivers, couriers, people driving delivery vans and other people constantly on the move often have a strong Gemini emphasis in their charts.
Planets in Gemini
Audience: I have Moon in Gemini. What does that mean?
Clare: The Moon describes what feeds you, what makes you feel comfortable and safe, so we can suggest that it is information and communication that feeds you. You might feel very nourished, for example, by a good conversation. Meeting a friend for lunch, the exchange of information and the catching up with the gossip might feel more nourishing than the actual food you eat. On the other hand, you might even say to someone: 'Leave me alone - I'm going to sit down and nurture myself by reading this newspaper or book,' since the Moon is about the rituals which make us feel comfortable and about our instinctive, habitual needs. This also describes our maternal food, and perhaps a mother who was interested in teaching us or in feeding us with information. Moon in Gemini can also describe someone who has a real feel for languages. Freud is a good example of this. He was fascinated by language, the inventor of the 'talking cure' and the 'Freudian slip', the ways in which language reveals unintended messages.
Audience: Yes, I find I would much rather read a book than eat, although I will often do both at the same time, or grab something to eat when I am driving between appointments. Basically, I don't think I can relate to the emotions myself. I am much better at just relaying things to other people.
Audience: I have a compulsive need to assimilate information. Sometimes I hate this part of myself - it is almost like a bulimic tendency. I just can't stop.
Clare: Is your Moon connected to Mercury?
Audience: Yes, my Moon is in Virgo and makes a square to Mercury.
Clare: So we could say that there is a need for order and control, but Mercury's involvement could make you feel that you never have enough information to get it absolutely right. Your need to constantly assimilate more information could be an expression of a basic anxiety which, with Moon in Virgo, you might have absorbed from your mother.
Sally has Jupiter in Gemini. How do you think this will express itself in her life?
Audience: Well, if Jupiter expands what it touches, then I imagine this would be an extremely busy and active Jupiter indeed. In Gemini it could mean that Sally believes in words and in communication, and probably finds languages, and probably foreign languages too, very meaningful.
Clare: Absolutely. She could have a real aptitude, for example, in working as a simultaneous translator at conferences. Or she could be a very inspiring language teacher. The traditional detriment of Jupiter in Gemini indicates that she will need to be careful not to take on too much or to get over-stimulated or too scattered, which could result in an element of stress and nervous tension. Functioning positively, Jupiter can bring an overview, an appreciation of the whole picture, find a larger context for all the bits and pieces, and help Gemini develop a sense of trust and confidence.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai (shown) has accused the United States of secretly working with the Taliban to facilitate terrorist attacks, supposedly in order to demonstrate a need for U.S. troop presence in the war-torn country after the scheduled withdrawal of Western combat units at the end of next year.
The Associated Press reported Karzai's remarks, made Sunday during a nationally televised speech about the state of Afghan women. The Afghan president claimed that two suicide bombings that killed 19 people on Saturday — one outside the Afghan Defense Ministry and the other near a police checkpoint in eastern Khost province — show the insurgent group is conducting attacks to demonstrate that international forces will still be needed to keep the peace beyond 2014.
"The explosions in Kabul and Khost yesterday showed that they are at the service of America and at the service of this phrase: 2014. They are trying to frighten us into thinking that if the foreigners are not in Afghanistan, we would be facing these sorts of incidents," Karzai said.
The claim was promptly denounced as "categorically false" by U.S. and NATO forces commander Gen. Joseph Dunford, who, in a conciliatory note, said it was understandable that tensions would arise as the coalition balances the need to complete its mission and the Afghans' move to exercise more sovereignty.
"We have fought too hard over the past 12 years, we have shed too much blood over the last 12 years, to ever think that violence or instability would be to our advantage," Dunford told the A.P.
It is hardly the first time Karzai has vented his anger and frustration over the role of U.S. and NATO forces in his country. After a U.S. Army soldier reportedly went on a shooting rampage, killing 17 civilians in a remote village in Afghanistan in the early morning hours of March 11, 2012, the Afghan leader called for the withdrawal of the foreign troops before the 2014 deadline. Karzai and members of the Afghan parliament were not only incensed over the killing of Afghan civilians by a member of the U.S. Army, but were indignant over the fact that the accused was whisked by American forces out of the country before he could be put on trial in Afghanistan.

PAWTUCKET – Will Middlebrooks does not need Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina or hitting coach Dave Joppie – two names who have previous player-coach relationships with the scuffling third baseman – to get in his face and flat-out tell the owner of a .192 big-league batting average this season where the areas of improvement lie.
"He knows what he needs to do," said DiSarcina in anticipation of Middlebrooks' arrival at McCoy Stadium on Wednesday, one day after getting informed by Boston skipper John Farrell that his season-long offensive funk had earned him a demotion to the Triple-A ranks.
"For us as a staff, we're just going to leave him alone for a few days before getting more into detail of what we expect from him. It's about getting back to the basics, which for him are competing and believing in his ability.
"We're here to encourage and get him back on track so he can go back to the big leagues so John can use him," he added. "It's as plain and simple as you can be."
DiSarcina was Middlebrooks' first pro manager during the summer of 2008 in Single-A Lowell, while Joppie's body of work includes 96 games in Double-A Portland in 2011.
"It means a lot when you have a prior relationship with a player; he trusts me and I trust him," stated DiSarcina matter-of-factly. "Will knows that I'm not going to sugarcoat anything or sit here and tell him how great he is or why he's not doing well. He knows that I'm in it for him.
"When you have a prior relationship, you cut through the (expletive) and get right to exactly what you want to talk about," he continued. "A 10-minute conversation can now last two minutes because you get right to the point with someone you have trust in. He knows that I love him as a player, that he's a great kid and we want the best for him."
Further expunging upon how having past baseball relations with Middlebrooks will help facilitate the key points sooner rather than later, DiSarcina talked about the initial conversations that took place with outfield prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. after he was sent down. Those dealings were more of the "feel-you-out" variety before more pertinent topics were mixed into the conversation.
"With Bradley it was about finding out things because I didn't know about him," DiSarcina explained. "You have to give them their space because this is their life, so when they're demoted, they feel like they're not good enough. You let them relax a little bit before building up their confidence and start getting to work."
This will mark Middlebrooks' second stint with Pawtucket in less than a month. His first go-around had a sense of urgency surrounding it, given he was seeking to round back into form after landing on the disabled list with a back injury. Even then there was talk about Middlebrooks possibly remaining in the minors to address his swing, one that according to a scout on hand Tuesday at McCoy Stadium "needs to get up in the zone."
The Middlebrooks that DiSarcina saw during that five-game stretch with the PawSox, "came in and had an urgent look on his face. The quick glimpse I saw of him … there's no reason he can't do that over an extended period of time."
Upon returning to Boston, Middlebrooks found himself in a duel with Jose Iglesias to see who was going to see their name on the lineup card more often. Iglesias ended up prevailing in landslide fashion, thanks to a hot streak at the plate coupled with Middlebrooks' inability to get on track. Blend those two elements together and it's little wonder why the Red Sox took the course of action they did Tuesday.
"You start adding undo pressure on yourself because you want your job back," said DiSarcina. "Maybe you start pressing and swinging at pitches you normally don't swing at. For me, Will's just going to peel it back to the basics."
DiSarcina plans to take no joy in seeing a left side of the infield that features a rising prospect in shortstop Xander Bogaerts and a third baseman who is looking to restore the luster that surrounded Middlebrooks at this time a season ago.
"For me, it's about getting Will back to the big-league level where he can win a world championship up in Boston," said DiSarcina. "He's a solid major-league player who's going through a rough time right now. For me personally, it hurts. I'm not excited to have him out there. I wish he was somewhere else."
Taking Middlebrooks' place on Boston's active roster is Brandon Snyder, who was added to the 40-man roster after catcher David Ross was placed on the 60-day disabled list with lingering concussion issues. Snyder was hitting .267 with 10 homers and 37 RBI in 63 games with the PawSox. He was in the midst of a 5-for-42 slump (.119) at the time of his call-up.
"Overall, Brandon's body of work has been effective," noted DiSarcina. "When you look at the big picture, he's been one of our better players."
Even though he's on Boston's 40-man, infielder Brock Holt continues to be slowed by an oblique injury that's kept him out of the lineup for the past nine games. Once Holt is pronounced fit to return, he will likely become Pawtucket's primary second baseman due to the presence of Middlebrooks and Bogaerts.
"If you can't play down here, you can't play up there," said DiSarcina. "With Brock, it's a matter of a few more days, maybe three, before hopefully getting him back out there."

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
At least once or twice a year I need to write some kind of column about man's best friend, because as many people know, I am a dog lover. While I raise Siberian Huskys, I love all kinds of dogs, or at least the ones that don't bite me.
Because of my love for these four legged creatures, and some of my fellow workers here at the paper, we have a very dog friendly atmosphere in our office. While I don't bring any of my dogs in very often, some that work here have their partners come in quite frequently. Our classified manager has a dog named Kelly, a little Australian Shepherd that is a big regular here, in fact a fixture. Then there is Yeager, one of our part time reporter's dogs, a little black guy who lays in the middle of the floor waiting to be loved. Our production manager has Skipper, a half Maltese, half Chinese Crested Powderpuff who comes in and stirs things up once in awhile. One of our sales associates has Bella, a small white Westie, who runs around and makes everyone smile. Finally, one of our mail room associates has a yellow Labrador named Lucy who comes in and has to see everyone with that big tail winding around like a pitchers arm in the second inning of a game.
Sometimes I get questions from people who come in.
"Don't you have rules about animals in your office" they say with disdain. The looks on their faces show they don't like dogs much. I just tell them if we are going to be kid friendly (which we are) we are going to be dog friendly too.
I am not sure what our resident office cat, Sunny, the Sun Advocate cat thinks of all these canines, but she seems to take it in stride. It really is her office afterall, and she usually stays above any fray that goes on.
These questions about rules brings up some real thoughts on how often people make laws for things they don't like, regardless of how others feel. In fact we have institutionalized animal rules across the nation so much that in some communities some really stupid laws are on the books. Here are some I recently found that I thought our readers might like to know about.
â¢Throughout California, it is illegal for animals to have sex near a tavern, school or church. I am hoping they have a great education program for animals, to warn them of this important restriction. Oh, wait, California is broke..maybe they don't have the money. Gee I wonder why?
â¢In Arvada, Colo. if your pet strays away from you, and the pound picks him up, you'd better pick it up as fast as you can. No, this isn't to protect your pet; the law says if the pooch isn't claimed within 24 hours the owner can be put to death. This certainly gives a whole new meaning to putting down an animal.
â¢In Denver, Colo. the dog catcher must post a notice on a tree in the city park (where the dog can see it), three days in advance, warning the dog that he is coming after it. All I can say is that they must have a pretty good dog education system along the Front Range.
â¢In Oklahoma it is a jail able offence to make an ugly face at a dog. I knew about this law when my wife and I drove through Oklahoma last spring so I just kept my eyes on the road and didn't look at the scenery, in fear that with the face I was born with I might get arrested if I happened to spot a pooch on the side of the interstate.
â¢In Illinois it is illegal to give a dog (or a cat for that matter) a lighted cigar. However you can give them cigarettes. You are also prohibited from giving them whiskey or other strong drinks. So if you are driving through Illinois and you see a dog hanging around a convenience store, don't make eye contact. They might ask you to buy something illegal for them.
â¢In Belvedere, Calif. a dog must keep it's master on a leash at all times. Hey if one of my dogs will give me a donut I would be happy to heel.
â¢Barber, N.C. forbids fighting between cats and dogs. I'm sure when one of these disputes takes place, and the police are called in it is called a catastrophic dogmestic disturbance.
â¢And of course, being in Utah there has to be one of these stupid laws in our state. And even more appropriate is the fact that it is a statute in happy valley. In Provo, dogs actually have a curfew, just like minors.
Wouldn't want Fido scaring any of those Cougars after dark.

Grounded in the Tradition of Humanistic Psychology
Earn your graduate degree in Psychology with a Specialization in the theoretical foundations of Existential, Humanistic, & Transpersonal Psychology (EHTP). This interdisciplinary Specialization is rooted in a holistic conception of what it means to be a person within the frameworks of humanistic psychology, existential psychology, transpersonal psychology, phenomenological psychology, and gestalt psychology.
The EHTP Specialization is closely tied to the historic mission and vision of humanistic psychology and Saybrook University. The Specialization is committed to carrying forth Saybrook's long history of maintaining the legacy of the contributions of the existential, humanistic, and transpersonal scholars on its faculty, while producing the next generation of leaders.
The EHTP Specialization focuses on a growth-oriented perspective emphasizing human potential, intended to foster an in-depth understanding of individuals. The Specialization encompasses both the important history and contributions of humanistic psychology as well as contemporary directions in these fields.
Although this Specialization is not designed to prepare graduates for licensure, many EHTP students are already clinicians seeking to expand their clinical skills without the limitations inherent in degree paths designed in an APA model. Students interested in licensure may combine a Specialization in EHTP with a doctoral degree from the Department of Counseling. The EHTP Specialization also works closely with the Existential-Humanistic Institute, which offers a Certificate in the Foundations of Existential-Humanistic Practice through Saybrook.
The EHTP Specialization offers a flexible, self-directed option for obtaining a master's or doctoral degree in Psychology. Students are able to work closely with their advisor and mentor to develop a course path designed to meet their particular needs, interests, and vocational aspirations.
From an intrapsychic as well as interpersonal standpoint, applications of the EHTP approach apply to healthy people engaged in a lifelong journey toward self-knowledge as well as to individuals in psychosocial or spiritual distress. The course of instruction is designed to direct your attention toward the growth-oriented dimension of personality and to the role of higher states of consciousness in achieving psychological balance and transformation.
Augmenting the usual offerings, which focus on behavior and cognition in psychology, we present dynamic theories that define personality as a total gestalt, in the context of a spectrum of states of consciousness beyond what are traditionally considered to be the psychopathic and the normal. These states reach into the realm of self-actualization and the transcendent. An emphasis on fostering humanistic and transpersonal principles in treatment and research is encouraged, because we believe they are an essential aspect of establishing a mental health system that serves the highest and best interests of humanity.

'It's the place I'd want to be on Sept. 11'
EUGENE, Ore. - Eugene firefighters Joel Lira and Anthony Bucher spent a week in New York City after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"Being there brought it to life," Bucher said.
They went to funerals - sometimes three in one day - serving on the honor guard and supporting families of their fallen brethren.
The two took a moment to share their memories with KVAL News this week.
"I think one of the things that went through my mind as I was there and when I came back was how fortunate we are to have to have our families intact and have our lives intact," Lira said.
"It definitely brings back the memories of the time there and the smells and visions and the scenes that we saw," Bucher said. "I don't think it's anything we ever forget."
Lira was so inspired by New York firefighters, he started a pipes and drums band in Eugene. The tradition is more commonly found among firefighters on the East Coast.
"That brings us back," he said. "That brings us back to what we saw and heard that day and allows us to carry the tradition on."
"I can be anywhere doing anything and hear a bagpipe or hear one of those songs and it just stops me each time," Bucher said. "It brings back pictures or faces or people walking behind engines on city streets."
On Sunday, Lira will mark the 10th anniversary of the attacks by playing the bagpipes at the department's memorial service.
Bucher will be working.
"It's the place I'd want to be on Sept. 11, with my brothers and stuff at the fire house," he said. "We reflect in our own way."

Every once in a while we come across a trend that truly straddles the seasons. Granted, it's rare to find something that will look equally attractive for (in this case) summer and fall. Wonderfully, we found that vibrant things will do just that!
Bright chunks of color look swell in the summer as they make you look tan and convey a sense of energy and happiness. Just looking at the hues of Lindsay Lohan's long dress reminds us of Otter Pops (if popsicles don't put you in a good mood, our condolences). This fall the look continues, as Technicolor apparel was featured by Etro, Chloe, Miu Miu, Marni and Stella. So for those of you who are bored with your summer stuff and not ready to start wearing autumn's woolies, why not go for this transitional trend?
On A Side Note: If the vivid palette freaks you out, an easy way to incorporate this trend in your fall look is via some richly hued tights. Urban Outfitters makes their Sparkle & Fade Opaque Tights in colors like Bright Yellow, Turquoise, and Hot Pink (Katherine already has Bright Blue and Purple). Since they're only $20 for two pairs, it's very low-risk and high-impact. ($20/2 pairs, urbanoutfitters.com)
UPDATE/On Another Side Note: For those of you wondering, Lindsay's dress is the Lipsy Colorblock Maxi Dress and is currently available-thanks Mariel! ($208, lfstores.com)
1. Rachel Leigh Prads Square Jet Necklace, $176, rachelleigh.com
Inspired by the upcoming season's large, colorful, geometric accessories-particularly the pieces at Prada-Rachel Leigh created this gorgeous piece for her Fall collection. The gold-plated, hand-painted enamel, and Swarovski crystal stone necklace is a spot-on way to ease into the vibrant trend.
2. Tulle ¾ Sleeve Wool Jacket, $85, tulle4us.com
The mustard-yellow color, fitted shape, and affordable price makes this Tulle jacket a perfect between season piece. It's also available in a bright red (Chili Pepper) color as well as classic black and neutral too.
3. Marni Knitted Gloves, $200, brownsfashion.com
Elbow-length, cashmere gloves might seem like an odd choice upon first glance, but we think the deep grape color makes them much more festive than the average pair. For those readers who live in colder climates, we assure you the gloves' longer arms will keep you uber toasty when temperatures dip.
4. Chanel bracelet, $1975, chanel.com for select boutiques
Wearing this metal and resin bangle from Chanel would be a little like wearing a pop piece of Cubist art on your wrist.
5. Catherine Malandrino Silk Bubble Dress, $687, mytheresa.com
In a sea of basic black dresses, this bright fuchsia silk mini is lively and unusual. Malandrino always has very woman-friendly design sensibilities, so while the juicy color will draw attention, the forgiving cut will hide figure flaws.
6. Pierre Hardy Satin Mutlicolor Square Sandal, price upon request, pierrehardy.com
Cult shoe designer Pierre Hardy is always a celeb favorite (Lohan's wearing a pair of yellow and black Hardys, above), and these heeled sandals are just a beautiful piece of work.
7. OPI Nail Polish in Just Groovy, $7.50, opi.com
The recent collection of OPI polish, Psychedelic Summer, includes the turquoise zing of "Just Groovy." This is another vibrant color trend showcased by Lohan, just check out her bright blue fingers in the image above.

A new classic for rocking the 21st century.
The Gibson SG Standard electric guitar has a slim, lightweight mahogany body with the unmistakable twin cutaways, pointed horns, and beveled edges; the fastest neck in the business;and a pair of Gibson's screamin' BurstBucker pickups with coil-splitting for single-coil tones. This beauty also features trapezoid inlays along its elegantly bound 22-fret rosewood fingerboard while a fine mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and holly inlay decorate the guitar's headstock.
Solid Mahogany Body
Probably the most central of all Gibson SG features is its solid mahogany body. The mahogany goes through the same rigorous selection process as all of Gibson's woods, and is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories. Inside the Gibson factories, humidity is maintained at 45 percent, and the temperature at 70 degrees. This ensures all woods are dried to a level of equilibrium, where the moisture content does not change during the manufacturing process. This guarantees tight-fitting joints and no expansion, and controls the shrinkage and warping of the woods, in addition to reducing the weight. It also improves the woods' machinability and finishing properties. Consistent moisture content means that the Gibson SG will respond evenly to temperature and humidity changes long after it leaves the factory.
Set-Neck Construction
Like all classic Gibson guitars, the necks on SGs are distinguished by one of the more traditional features that have always set them apart — a glued neck joint. Gluing the neck to the body of the guitar ensures a "wood-to-wood" contact, no air space in the neck cavity, and maximum contact between the neck and body, allowing the neck and body to function as a single unit. The result? Better tone, better sustain, and no loose or misaligned necks. The '61 thin flat "speed neck" profile gives you effortless playing speed and comfort.
BurstBucker Pickups
The BurstBuckerline of pickups represents Gibson's drive to recapture the magic of the original "Patent Applied For" humbuckers. First introduced in the early 1990s, the Gibson BurstBucker — Types 1, 2, and 3 — successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically "unmatched" bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. They produce an airy, full tone, and when overdriven they achieve a magical distortion with the slightly enhanced highs that made the originals famous. This SG model is loaded with a BurstBuckerType 1 pickup, which features a lower output, and is excellent for the neck position, and a BurstBuckerType 3 pickup that is overwound and hot, and is typically ideal for the bridge position. None of the BurstBuckers are wax potted, and all feature vintage braided two-conductor wiring. Push/pull tone pots activate pickup coil-splitting making this one of the most sonically versatile Gibson SG guitars ever!
Tune-O-Matic Bridge
The Tune-O-Matic bridge was the brainchild of acclaimed Gibson president Ted McCarty in 1954. At the time, it was a true revelation in intonation, and set a standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered. This pioneering piece of hardware provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust and fine-tune the intonation and string height in a matter of minutes. It also yields a great union between the strings and body, which results in excellent tone and sustain. It is combined with a separate "stopbar" tailpiece, essentially a modified version of the earlier wraparound bridge. To this day, the Tune-O-Matic remains the industry standard. It is the epitome of form and function in electric guitar bridge design, and is one of the most revered and copied pieces of guitar hardware ever developed.
Instantly recognizable. The backbone of rock and roll. Gibson's best-selling SG Standard shatters all perceptions of what an electric guitar can — and should — be. Various SG models have been played on-stage by the likes of Pete Townshend, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Robby Krieger, Chris Robinson, Alex Lifeson, Derek Trucks, Elliot Easton, Jim James, Jeff Tweedy, Moby, Keith Urban, Nick Jonas, Rocco DeLuca. The list is unbelievable. When will you add your name to the list?

Guitar felt stiff right out of the box. Factory set up was not very good unless you like your strings real high. Plan on doing some adjustments if you try to go with 10's. I since have set it to Gibson specs with Ernie Ball 9's. It plays nice now and stays in tune much better. 60's neck is very comfortable and can be played for hours on end. Love the Burstbucker 3 for ripping out classic rock leads.(Allman Bros,Zeppelin) The Burstbucker 1 works well also in the neck. Very good combination I would have to say. Coil splitting is there if needed. The binding looked good and the fret ends were smooth also. Overall, it needed a little work when it arrived, but in the end this guitar turned out to be a great addition.

I had high hopes of getting both single coil and humbucking tones from this guitar. The burstbuster pickups sound almost exactly like my other Gibson SG Standard , just fine. However, when coil splitting is enabled, the tone hardly changed but the volume dropped way off. For a guitar that is supposed to have a variety of tones, I was quite disappointed. I've heard coil tapping Schecter guitars that have a great range of tonality. This guitar just didn't do it for me. I thank Musician's Friend for making the return/refund painless.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
I have been play for about a year now, Fender American Standard, and wanted to try something with humbuckers... SG was the great starting point. The guitar feels great. Very happy to have purchased this SG. Main problem and its a biggie is that the set up upon delivery was awful. Had to take it to a local shop to be professional set up. Costed $$$ for the set up (one hundred fifty). It Looks and Sounds Great, would buy again.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
I had been reading a lot of reviews that complained about the action being too high and I played one at a guitar center and indeed the action was way too high. However, when mine arrived it was absolutely perfect. It's exactly what I wanted. I got the white one. I personally really like the coil-splitting option. The BurstBucker pickups sound so huge and clear. I play through my Orange Rockerverb 100 and Closed back 2x12 and it sounds great. When switching to the single coils the volume does drop but that is expected, you are now using only one pickup. A lot of people aren't blown away by this feature but switching to the single coils calls for a different playing style. So if you play around with what sounds good from the single coil (I.e. which pedal settings, amp channel, etc.) you will find uses for switching back and forth. Now if you really aren't happy with the single coil option you just don't have to use it. When in Humbucking mode this guitar screams so at least you have an option of single coils for the future. I was really on the fence about buying this guitar but I am very happy I did.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
Flawless. The "Classic White" looks beautifully and perfectly aged. I was somewhat worried it be Really Bright White, but it's not at all. The chrome hardware and mother-of pearl inlays make it a total class-act. As others have noted, the neck binding looks pre-aged- and I love it. I love everything about the look of this guitar- it's simply beautiful. It really feels like I am handling a perfectly cared-for antique instrument.
The neck is smooth and fast. The guitar is light and well balanced. The fretboard is rosewood, but feels really solid like ebony. The selector switch and all four knobs are solid and feel like quality components. Chord-changes are quick and confident. This is the easiest guitar to play that I have ever picked up (beating out some really nice LPs, Flying Vs and Tele's I've had the pleasure of picking up over the years.)
When I unpacked the guitar the intonation was dead-on, but there was fret buzz on the second and third frets- and the neck needed some relief- as it was dead-straight. I loosened the truss-rod less than a 1/4 turn which did the trick, but then I had to re-set the intonation, which- given the 'tune-o-matic' bridge, was shockingly simple! After about 45-minutes it's screaming.
Very Pete Townsend. Solid rock n' roll.
Random Details:
- The set-neck is flawless and looks for all the world like a straight-through.
- The tuning pegs are sensitive as heck and took a little getting used to.
- I've played Ernie Ball strings forever, but I must say I really like the Gibson strings that came on this beauty and ordered a few sets of their 'vintage re-issue' strings for when these go out.
I've been playing a LOT more since this beauty arrived. 'Nuff said.

Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
I was wary of buying a guitar without trying it first, but was told that if I didn't like it, I could return no questions asked. When it arrived three days later it was love at first sight. It has fantastic tone and a good feel. I've had it for two weeks now and it is nicer than I imagined.
Best Uses
Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
Really nice instrument. I wasn't sure if I would like the the slim-taper neck, since I have an LP Studio with the 50's, but this neck is really nice. I also play Fenders, Strat and Tele's, yet getting used to this neck was a breeze. The Burstbuckers sound great in both HB and coil split modes. I have the white, wanted the red (not available with this neck and split coils) but the white is actually a bit vintage looking...very nice! Craftsmenship is exactly what you would expect from a MIA guitar - absolutely perfect. I would like to say more, but I have to go play my SG!
Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
Ok so this is my first Gibson and I chose a SG instead of the LP just for the cost savings but my god this thing is beautiful and plays like a dream . Not only that It is extremely versitile! love it
Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
Normally I try to buy from my three favorite local shops, but none of them had this SG. My experience with the purchase was 100% and Most Excellent. Musicians Friend did a wonderful job at getting a beautiful quality SG in my greedy little hands! Feels Good to Win!
The most eye opening feature are of course the coil splitting pickups with the push pull knobs. This is why I wanted to try this guitar..that and its an SG! The coil splitting is fantastic and gives a new and wonderful charecter to the sg as well as extended tonal variations. I purchased the Silverburst model and must say all of the bells and wistles are impressive. Always been a fan of the stopbar tail piece..makes those adjustments and string changes sooo much easier. If you have not yet had an sg then buy a right angled instument cord...if you've had an sg then you know what I mean!
Gibson did not dissappoint me with the quality of this sg...weight...balance...craftmenship...beautiful paint...when you hold this SG in you hands ...you know what quality feels like!! Plug in to an amp..and get ready to be amazed at the clarity and power. My silverburst was totally flawless...and believe me I looked it over real good. The company setting (while nice) just didnt get it...and after a couple hours of tweaking..this machine screams, wails, weeps and bleeds to perfection in my humble opinion.
I was lucky enough to get an additional discount that Musicians Friend honored....but dont tell them...I would have gone the full advertised price!
Comments about Gibson SG Standard with Coil-Splitting Electric Guitar:
I love this guitar - it doesn't get relagated to a case in the corner like some other guitars I have (which I'll now probably be selling).....this is a joy to play, gives me the range of tonal possibilities that is fun to experiment with - it's lightweight, rih and full in sound, well made and is detined to become a real classic and collectable guitar.
If I had ny suggestions for Gibson, I wish it was availabe in a wider range of finishes. This is such a great guitar, that to limit to justthe Artic White and Silver Burst finishes seems a real shame. A classic Cherry Red, Ebony, or even a Natural Brown finish would be nice. A lot of folks buy a guitar with the appearacne a primary determining factor - I could live with the white considering the features this guitar has, but would've jumped at a classic cherry red too.
I recently acquired this guitar in the Artic White finish. I also got a Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro + at the same time. I thought my 'go to' guitar would end up being the Les Paul....but, this SG is quickly becoming my favorite. I love the weight and feel of this guitar. Older SG's tended to be a little neck heavy with the neck being out of balance relative to the body. This guitar has the balance the older SG's seemed to lack. I also love the combination of pickups on this. The two Burstbucker styles used here really compliment each other and provide a sound that is only found on an SG.....this thing can growl. The coil tapping adds a brightness that is somewaht similar to a set of P90's - not a Fender single coil sound. All switches and knobs are easily accessible. The tuners are excellent - the guitar stays in tune (which you'd expect anyway). I really am enjoying this guitar. It feels 'natural' to me.....like I've had it for years and it's an old and familar friend. I can get clean and clear sustainable trebles; I can get as muddy and grungy as you'd like with sharp edged midtones....and a pounding, thundering low end. I;m very please with the sound - split coil and full Burstbuckers......this has the potential to be a true classic guitar.
The guitar is well made. I have the Artic White finish and with the black pickgard and Ebony necl, the color contrast makes for a really cool, retro look. The white has an almost yellowish tint to it whihc will probably darken more over time. The new guitar came with a strong polishing compund odor - it takes a few days in the open air to dispel. The binding on the neck also has a little bit of an odd tint to it ....almost a slight salmon color which may be due to the polishing compound. The neck to body joint is very good and solid - no wiggle or distortion from aggressive playing which older SG's tended to experience. The pickups are fantastic - the combination of the Burstbucker 1 and 3 pickups creates a unique sound that isn't featuredon other Gibson guitars (to my knowledge).....it's a big, full sound that lets this guitar throw down some thunder.....and I love it. The setup as delivered is a little high - but with the stock strings, it seems appropriate. I'll probably put on a lighter gauge set (.010's) and lower the action a little, but for now, it's all good - just a little tweaking. I would'v given this a solid 10 except for the dd tint on the binding - pictures dont show this and I don' kow if this is typical or unusal....but, it makes this look a little bit more 'vintage'.
I got this during a special promotion through MF abd have to say it's probably one to the top 5 deals I've ever gotten on any guitar....and the best I've gotten on a new guitar from a dealer. Even if you were to pay the full price for this with no discount, it's priced similar to a traditional SG Standard - and this gives the coil splitting capability at essentially no extra cost - Unless you really want the sound of the 490/498 combo featured on the traditional SG Standard, this is a no-brainer - myself, I think the 490/498 sound is classic, but also pretty common, so the Burstbucker 1 & 3 combo was a real plus.

With five days remaining before the July 31st trade deadline, let's take a look at one of the Orioles' most coveted trading chips: Jeremy Guthrie.
Veteran starting pitchers are always in demand for contenders at the deadline, and Guthrie figures to be one of the five best starters who stand a realistic chance of being traded. While hurlers like Ubaldo Jimenez and James Shields might be more tempting targets with true front-of-the-rotation potential, Guthrie will require a significantly more modest haul and may be the best value candidate on the market. With an additional season of control before hitting free agency and experience against the best lineups of the AL East, acquiring Guthrie for a B-level prospect and a one or two other modest pieces could be a wise move for any contending team, especially those in the National League.

Last Friday Moody's Investors Service announced its downgrade of the United Kingdom's government bond ratings by one notch, from AAA to Aa1, a move that was anticipated a year ago when the credit rating agency moved its rating on U.K. bonds from "stable" to "negative." The other two major credit rating agencies, Standard and Poor's and Fitch Ratings each have a negative rating on the U.K.'s bonds and are expected to issue similar downgrades in March.
The primary reason is England's continued sluggish growth as a result of the worldwide recession triggered in 2007. For the nine months ending in September, the British economy showed some slight signs of life but turned down again in the last quarter, suggesting to some that the economy could suffer a "triple dip" recession in 2013. And despite verbal assurances from Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne back in 2010 that his program of austerity could be counted upon to lift the economy within a few years, Moody's now says such optimism is unwarranted. Wrote Moody's, the primary reason for the downgrade was "the continuing weakness in the UK's medium-term outlook, with a period of sluggish growth which Moody's now expects will extend into the second half of the decade."
Such modest austerity as Osborne was able to accomplish, which included raising taxes further on England's wealthiest citizens and expanding "infrastructure spending" to stimulate job growth, has had precious little positive impact so far and, as a consequence, a "deterioration … of the government's balance sheet … is unlikely to reverse before 2016."
It could be worse. Public perception, especially by bondholders, remains surprisingly positive, as evidenced by the nearly invisible reaction of the bond market to Friday's announcement, and the average maturity of the government's bond remaining at about 15 years. As Moody's noted, "The UK's creditworthiness remains extremely high … with supportive domestic demand for government debt, the longest average maturity structure among all highly rated sovereigns globally."
