TITLE: His Strange Love Affair
By Paula Titus
Words are his passion; he strokes each one patiently as if it were his virgin bride. He holds them captive for days until they surrender.
I�ve seen him refuse to eat because the perfect adjective refused to form in his mind. And I�ve seen him celebrate with champagne after his mind finally gave birth to his children of prose.
In the beginning, I could seduce him away from his mahogany desk. But now only words hold the power of seduction for him. How can I compete with his own mind, his strange love affair?
Words, words, words, I�ve grown tired of them. I long for the days of normality, when spending long hours of jovial play with his family held importance in his life. Evenings when the four of us had meals together, conversation flowed, we shared life.
Now he refuses to leave his typewriter for anything other than necessities. He seems irritated that he must stop writing to eat, shower, sleep. I recall the evening of our tenth anniversary:
�The reservations were made for seven o�clock, are you going to get ready?� Michael sat and stared at his page of words.
�Yes, I just have to finish this chapter.�
�We need to leave in thirty minutes.� I had a sinking feeling as the words left my mouth, but I left him alone and went to greet the babysitter. Twenty minutes later I climbed the stairs to find him still sitting behind the desk. He was bent over, typing with a fierce passion like a piano man giving the performance of his life.
�I suppose you�ll be spending our anniversary with your beloved words � alone.� His face showed no trace of remorse or regret. The only visible emotion was the way he looked at his now fully written page. Love, lust, satisfaction, adoration for them � his words.
�Words can�t hold you, or love you.� I wanted to be strong, but the tears escaped from my eyes when his only response was,
�Yes they can.�
Oh, Michaels� good at what he does, there�s no denying it. His third novel spent thirty-two weeks on top. He wrote that book in one month � he did nothing else but write for that month. Shortly thereafter I knew he was insane.
It was Christmas Day last year.
I approached Michael�s office early in the morning to find the door locked. I knocked.
�What?� His voice vibrated through the heavy wooden door.
�Let me in Michael.�
He opened the door and returned to his desk. �Are you going to come out of this room today?� I was praying that Michael would remember his love for our Savior, that celebrating the coming of our Lord would spark some long lost passion he once had for Christ, for family, for me.
�Yes, yes, I�m coming � look at this,� he smiled and patted the thick stack of paper beside his typewriter. �I�ve almost finished this book.�
As Michael was speaking Hannah ran into the room, eyes wide with excitement and anticipation. �Daddy, come and look under the tree!� She grabbed Michael�s hand and led him to the living room. I followed.
I watched Michael�s face for some sign of life as Hannah carefully examined the tags on each package. �Look Daddy, this one�s for you.� She handed him the gift covered in gold wrapping paper.
Just when I thought I saw a glimpse of the man I fell in love with, we heard a strange clicking noise coming from Michael�s office. Michael dropped the package and hurried to the office.
By the time I reached the room Michael was holding Jacob by one arm, suspended in midair. �How many times have I told you to never touch my typewriter?� Michael�s screams were drowned out by Jacob�s cries. �Look what you�ve done, you ruined it,� Michael threw Jacob to the floor.
�What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?� I held Jacob, trying to calm his sobs.
�I have to type this whole page over now, keep that brat out of my office.� Michael sat at his desk and ripped the page out of the typewriter.
That was the night I left him. All I could hear when the children and I left the house was the clicking of keys pounding against paper. Long into the night, Michael writes.

A fire at a home in the Del Prado neighborhood Wednesday morning resulted in $250,000 in damages.
The call to 7004 Corte Nina came in at 10:22 a.m., according to Rodondi.
"The first company arrived and found heavy smoke in the building," he said.
Most of the damage was contained to the attic and bedroom areas of the home.
Rodondi said 19 firefighters responded to the scene, and it took about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control. No one was injured.

Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Club #78
For March's Book Club we will be reading All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders. Childhood friends Patricia Delfine and Laurence Armstead didn't expect to see each other again, after parting ways under mysterious circumstances during high school. After all, the development of magical powers and the invention of a two-second time machine could hardly fail to alarm one's peers and families.
"Everything you could ask for in a debut novel – a fresh look at science fiction's most cherished memes, ruthlessly shredded and lovingly reassembled." ―Cory Doctorow
At February's Book Club we discussed Time Salvager by Wesley Chu. An interesting premise with lots of potential but ultimately wasted in flat characters, cliches, clunky writing and awkward dialogue.
"It started raining men, and not in the good way"
When: Monday, March 14th, 2016, 6:30pm-7:30pm
Where: Filter Cafe 1373-75 N. Milwaukee Ave

Natural beauty products are winning people over5 Jan
The ingredients in a skin care product are equally or more important for the consumer than its actual effectiveness. This point was made in a recent study by the consultancy Kline, which also highlights the unstoppable rise of "natural" beauty products.
This is probably because natural products are preferred for the skin, because consumers are more aware of the safety of certain ingredients and are increasingly concerned about the environment. But the fact remains that the market for so-called "natural" cosmetics continues to grow, with the sector already turning over around 30,000 million dollars worldwide. The European market, which accounts for 25% of sales of natural products, grew by 6% in 2013 – double the growth rate in the world as a whole – thanks to ingredients such as argan oil, açaí berries, pomegranate, calendula, etc. Read More
Coral powder as a replacement for polluting microbeads30 Dec
Plastic microparticles used in many cosmetic products end up in the seas and oceans, posing a major environmental problem. Fossilized coral powder, to date used mainly in nutritional products, could solve this problem, because its properties mean it is as beneficial for the skin as it is harmless to the ecosystem.
It contains calcium, magnesium and traces of over 70 minerals, so it is primarily sold as a nutritional supplement. However, some researchers are beginning to consider it as a possible sustainable ingredient in personal hygiene formulations. Fossilized coral powder is a novel material with useful chemical and physical properties that can help maintain the barrier function of the skin and improve its ability to regenerate. Furthermore, it does not harm the environment and it respects the fragility of coral reefs, since it is extracted from onshore deposits that lay under the sea millions of years ago. Read More
Daily care of dry skin24 Dec
Understanding our skin and its needs should be the basis for our choice of cosmetics, so if you have very dry skin, you need to use products that are specifically formulated to treat dry skin and that also take into account your life stage. Below we provided some basic guidance for people with very dry skin.
Dry skin has various causes, among them, genetics, aggressive drugs, overexposure to cold or sun, natural ageing, etc. But dryness is always the result of two factors: lack or excess loss of water (dehydration) and deficient sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands. A healthy, elastic, comfortable-feeling skin requires an optimal level of water in the stratum corneum. Certain components in dry skin are altered, but can be restored by suitable cosmetics. Hydration is the best way to maintain youthful skin and delay the onset of signs of ageing. Read More

Confirmed: sunscreen prevents wrinkles20 Dec
Just over a year ago we published scientific evidence on the effectiveness of sunscreens against wrinkles. Since then the cosmetics sector has included sunscreen in many products, like make-up, with good results. The message is clear: sunscreen is crucial. Always.
In June 2013, the Annals of Internal Medicine published the results of a major study, conducted in Australia over four years, which underlined that wearing sunscreen daily helps prevent wrinkles. In fact, the study, a milestone for professionals in terms of duration and scope, underlined that a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 is more effective than taking nutritional supplements, such as beta-carotene, to preserve the skin.

I just picked up your book and within the first 30 pages read the clearest outline on the downward spiral of my marriage - and I have reads LOTS of marriage books!
We have only been married 1 1/2 years but are already in stage 3. We came from families with very different conflict styles - his avoided and mine fought it out. As soon as we hit our first conflict (on our honeymoon :-( he began to withdraw. Within a year he had begun to question why he had married me, erase all our good times, had an 'emotional' affair and now cannot even connect with any love for me.
He moved out last weekend and I am distraught. I am willing to learn your new approach to handling conflict, but my question is - how can we get there from here? What can I/we do to slow this down so that he might be able to reconnect w/ his love before it's too late?

Bloomsdale Man Hauls In $200,000 Powerball Prize
A retired heavy equipment operator from Bloomsdale is the latest winner of a $200,000 Powerball prize. Wayne Fallert, 64, buys tickets for each Missouri Lottery drawing once a week. He routinely visits the Bloomsdale 66 station, 290 Mill Hill Road in Bloomsdale, and picks up a couple of tickets for that week's drawings of Powerball, Lotto and Show Me Cash. Fallert purchased a Powerball ticket on Feb. 4 for the next two drawings, but he didn't have to wait long to become a winner.
"I probably got gas. I buy it at the same place the majority of the time," explained Fallert. "I buy them (tickets) every week. I get them for two draws at a time. I use all the kids' birthdays, and my wife's (birthday), and then I take one Quick Pick on the Powerball. It was the Quick Pick that hit."
When he returned for fuel on Feb. 9, a store employee informed Fallert that the store had sold a $200,000 winning ticket.
"They said, 'Hey Wayne, we got a winner. Have you checked your numbers?' I said, 'No, I'm sure it's not me.' So she gave me the winning numbers, and I walked out to the pickup and came back in," recalled Fallert.
"I said, 'You wouldn't believe this, but I've got it.' She didn't believe me at first, but I did."
Fallert said he called his wife, Wanda, who "broke down in tears." The couple then drove to the St. Louis regional Lottery office to claim their prize.
There are no real plans for the windfall, but Fallert said he might spend a little on his hobbies.
"We got a pretty new home. Got a few bills left over from the kids' college, so we'll pay them. It'll make everything a lot easier.
"I've always been interested in tractors," said Fallert. "I'd tractor pull for like 14 years. I was Missouri state champion for six years in a row. Now I just bought some older tractors and got them fixed up pretty nice. I like to go to those plow days and plow."
According to Fallert, not much about their life will change. He still plans to buy Lottery tickets and will continue his part-time job of hauling grains for local farmers.
"The thing I learned is people who retire and sit and watch TV don't live very long," he said. "I always tell people, I learned when you don't work, you spend money. So when you go to work, you make it in two ways."
Fallert's $200,000 prize is one of two second prizes won in Missouri from the Feb. 6 Powerball drawing. A third ticket sold, matching all five white-ball numbers, included the Power Play option. That ticket, worth $1 million, was sold in Fenton and remains unclaimed.
is a multi-Lottery Numbers Game with jackpots starting at $20 million. There are nine different ways to win prizes playing Powerball.

Outerwear's Next Evolution
Loki was founded by the mountain climbing Anderson brothers in Colorado. Dirk and Seth wanted gear that would change with the weather for mountains and everyday adventure. They named Loki for the nordic shape-changing god of trickery.
Loki gear changes to be warmer with built-in mitts and neck warmer, or cools down with vents and stow away packability. All this while maintaining a low-key in style and friendly prices.
