KUSD meeting to discuss transformational plan
Tonight, the KUSD Board met to discuss the a new personalized learning model, which requires that the way we educate our children in the district will change. This was a special joint meeting of the school board and the Curriculum/Program Standing Committee. The proposed student schedule at the high school level will be transformed to create a flexible eight-block schedule.
Michele Hancock, superintendent opened the meeting. The room was filled to capacity with audience members. Public comments were not allowed during this meeting. Hancock then turned it over to Dan Tenuta, assistant superintendent of secondary school leadership, who stated the goals of the project: to meet the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Literacy in All Content Areas; and to provide a personalized learning approach, taking into consideration technological changes. The common core state standards have been adopted by over 40 states.
Very few reported feeling earthquake
View Larger Map
The above map shows (green arrow) the epicenter of the Jan. 30, 2012 earthquake.
Did you feel the earthquake last night?
Me neither. But don't feel bad. For all the stir today, it doesn't seem many people felt, or at least were alarmed by, the event.
A 2.4 magnitude earthquake centered in McHenry, Illinois occurred about 9:55 p.m. Monday night, according to the United States Geological Survey.
As of noon today, about 10 people from Kenosha County have reported to the USGS that they felt the quake — one in Kenosha and two in Pleasant Prairie.
But I found another fact perhaps even more telling. Kenosha County Joint Dispatch received no calls relating to the quake last night, said Sgt. Bill Beth, Kenosha County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Commissioners approve park work
The Board of Park Commissioners met last night. The master contract between SAA Design Group, Inc., and the city of Kenosha for professional services was approved. At first, Alderperson Anthony Kennedy expressed that he had a problem with the costs not being listed, but city engineer Mike Lemens explained that there is no exact cost. "SAA Design Group will charge on what work we tell them to do. Each project specifies a task order, of which there are two on the agenda tonight. The city can only spend what's authorized in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The scope of services has budget control. It's not an open-ended check." The analogy Lemens gave was bids for heating work. "A blanket order is issued to the vendor. If the city uses them once or ten times, they have the hourly rate approved." Kennedy did then vote for approval, as did the other commission members.

KUSD approves sale of bonds
Tonight, the KUSD Board met to discuss the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of $9.275 million taxable general obligation refunding bonds, series 2012. At the September 27, 2011, Board meeting, the Board voted to approve the recommendation of refinancing Fund 38 debt consisting of taxable G. O. refunding bonds, Series 2002B. The original plan was to go out to the market in October, 2011, but this was later postponed. Moody's Investor Service requested an investor's call shortly after that Board meeting. Administration and their financial consultants, PMA Securities, postponed the offering until such time that the district's updated rating was known. "The Moody's rating, as of January 18th, 2012, is A1, negative outlook. The reasons for this rating are the CDO litigation and the material decline in the fund balance. The district has taken a proactive approach in turning things around." These were the PMA Securities' representative's comments at tonight's meeting.

Keep safety in mind while out walking
This is the latest in a series of articles that will regularly appear on KenoWi.com from Kenosha Police Department Crime Prevention Unit Officers Jeff Wamboldt and Ron Francis:
"Horrifying" was how Patty described the assault.
On a cold dark January night, Patty put on her warmest winter coat, slapped on a set of earmuffs, and left the restaurant where she worked. Walking home alone, she took the same route she had taken for years. She only lived six blocks from the restaurant and felt safe. It was a nice neighborhood – the street lights all worked and a few homes still displayed Christmas decorations.
Once outside, Patty made a cellphone call to her best friend as she crossed the street. Further up the sidewalk, Patty passed by a tall row of hedges. Absorbed in her phone conversation, she did not notice the pair of hands reaching out from behind the shrubbery. Unknown to Patty, a man from the restaurant had been watching her for months and determined she was an easy mark. She was always on her cellphone and did not pay attention to her surroundings. The ponytail she wore, which he used as a handle, made nabbing her that much easier.
Fortunately, this true story has a happy ending. Patty did not give up without a fight. While trying to prevent from being raped, Patty's winter coat unzipped and she was able to struggle free, leaving the suspect with only her coat.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland can be fun as long as you keep one thing in mind at all times – YOUR SAFETY! Here are some tips:
County encouraging winter activities at parks
With some snow finally falling here, your thoughts may be beginning to turn to outdoor winter fun.
Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser is encouraging people to embrace the winter by participating in the outdoor activities available through the Kenosha County Park System.
"We're pleased to be opening the lighted cross country ski trail at the Petrifying Springs Park," Kreuser said. "The trail has been dark for about a decade. But, with the help from community volunteers, it will be available for people to enjoy."

County gets grant to remove Petrifying Springs park dam
View Larger Map
The Kenosha County Division of Parks will receive $234,000 from the Fund for Lake Michigan to support the Pike River Fish Passage Dam Removal, bridge construction, and stream bed and bank restoration at Petrifying Springs Park, Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser announced Friday.
"We appreciate the Fund for Lake Michigan recognizing the importance of this project to improve the health of the fish, the Pike River and, ultimately, the health of Lake Michigan," Kreuser said. "This is also an important safety improvement for the families who enjoy the park, as well as a way to mitigate the long-term costs associated with the constant flooding of the bridge and parkland."
This is the second grant Kenosha County has received from the Fund for Lake Michigan. In 2011, the Fund for Lake Michigan provided a $102,000 grant for an engineering study for the dam removal project.
The mission of the Fund for Lake Michigan is to support efforts, and in particular those in southeastern Wisconsin, that enhance the health of Lake Michigan, its shoreline and tributary river systems for the benefit of the people, plants and animals that depend upon the system for water, recreation and commerce. The Fund for Lake Michigan is a donor-advised fund of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, Inc. The Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network, which is working to improve adjacent Lake Michigan watersheds, has also been a Fund for Lake Michigan grant recipient, as well as an important partner with Kenosha County to clean and restore the Pike.
Also involved in clean-up and restoration efforts have been the Kenosha Sport Fishing and Conservation Club and the Hawthorne Hollow Nature Sanctuary and Arboretum. Both Carthage College and UW-Parkside have been doing water quality testing in the Pike River.
"These partnerships and community collaborations are critical to make the Pike River clean-up efforts successful for the long haul," Kreuser said. The roughly three-month project is expected to begin on or about June 1. The total estimated cost is $655,000. Kenosha County is expecting to receive another grant to assist in the cost of the project, Kreuser said.
The 360-acre park, located at 761 Green Bay Road, was purchased in 1927 and is comprised of the floodplain of the Pike River, as a lagoon, bluff lands and upland forests surrounding the river corridor. Petrifying Springs Park Golf Course is located to the north of the park.
The earthen dam was built in 1936 when the Work Progress Administration constructed the Petrifying Springs Golf Course. The lagoon was deepened and the dam was constructed to create a lake to be used for irrigation water for the golf course. Later, an irrigation system was built for the golf course and it no longer relied on the lagoon. In its 2010 Pike River Watershed Plan, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources found the Petrifying Springs dam to be illegal and recommended its removal and streambank stabilization to improve fish migration to Lake Michigan. The Petrifying Springs Park dam is the last physical fish passage barrier in the watershed. After removal, the dam and roadway will be replaced by a vehicular bridge that will allow fish passage. The streambanks, both upstream and downstream, will be stabilized and restored to native vegetation. Invasive reed canary grass upstream of the dam will be removed and replaced with native vegetation to prevent the spread of the invasive vegetation. Steep slopes leading to the floodplain upstream of the dam will be restored for erosion control.
"Petrifying Springs Park is one of the jewels of the county's park system," Kreuser said. "This is a critical step toward restoring the park and ensuring it will be available for future generations to enjoy."
Lake effect snow advisory issued
Parking ban in effect in Kenosha
According to the city of Kenosha website (as of 7:19 p.m.):
Two inches of snow have fallen in the City of Kenosha. No parking is allowed on posted snow routes until further notice.
Common Council report
The Common Council met on Wednesday night. Present were about ten members of Boy Scout Troop 551 from the Wesley United Methodist Church, earning merit badges for observing city government at work. Lou Rugani spoke on the planned demolition of Heritage House. His suggestion was to offer the property to a developer for $1, who would then "bring it back to historical standards. It's called "adaptive re-use." This would put the property back on the tax rolls. "Maybe a developer would have a vision in mind more than the city has shown to date." He urged the council to "act upon this yesterday."
The following issues were discussed and acted upon at the meeting:
- Nineteen operator's (bartender) licenses, two special Class "B" Beer and/or special "Class B" Wine licenses, and one taxi driver license was approved. These are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.

Aldi's receives approval for ordinance exception
Aldi's (6404 – 75th Street) received approval tonight for a special exception to the spacing requirements of the zoning ordinance for "Class A" liquor licenses. The current ordinance, which was approved five months ago, was put in place to limit the number of convenience stores and gas stations selling alcohol, according to vice chairman Jesse Downing. The current requirement is that a new Class A liquor license cannot be located nearer than a mile from a present licensee.
Cell phone tower agreement denied
At the Common Council meeting held last night, there was much discussion and confusion on the issue of the vacant land sale and leaseback agreement between the city of Kenosha and New Cingular Wireless PCS, for the property located at 1613 Washington Road. There were three votes taken on this issue: The first vote for a two-week deferral failed by a vote of 6 to 7. The next vote to postpone indefinitely also failed by a vote of 5 to 8. The third vote to approve, as presented, also failed by a very close margin (6 to 7).

- It's my birth month. The big 2-5 this year.
- It brings Spring!
- This year March 13th is Daylight Savings. Longer, brighter days - yes!
- It's Women's History Month - "Where there is woman, there is magic". - Ntozake Shange
Something that usually happens in March is Kenny Chesney comes to town and we get to celebrate our birthdays together. By that I mean, we were born on the same day and I go to his concert, but whatever. Anyway, no plans for a Kenny concert either!
March will just have to be fun in other ways. Like I said before, I'm turning 25 - in exactly 25 days so tomorrow I'll be posting a list of 25 things I want to accomplish before I turn 25. They won't be life shattering things but they will be lots of "to-do" items from my 101 in 1001 list as well as the many "to-do" lists I have all over my planner. One goal is to definitely make more time for blogging! I love it so much but just could not find the time to do it very often in February. So we'll see how that all goes! Should be a fun + hopefully productive month!
Sorry for this longer than usual + extra wordy post but one more thing before I go! In my last post I shared this guest bedroom from Young House Love and they made a few small but huge changes so I wanted to share an updated picture! I still absolutely love it + feel so inspired by it! Nothing too major was changed, but the room looks even better!
Well, that's enough for today! Check back tomorrow for my list of 25 things to do before my 25th!

Author(s): James Boswell
This is a new, complete edition of the seminal modern, and still finest, literary biography. All previous versions have been unsatisfactory and textually inaccurate. This will be the first to return to the manuscript and the first to collate systematically the early printed versions. It is the most correct edition ever published, and a landmark in Boswell and Johnson studies.

It's funny how a few short years changes things. The phenom becomes the cagey veteran, and the hunter becomes the hunted. Welcome to 2012's two-horse race: the veteran Jimmie Johnson, in search of his sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup championship- and Brad Keselowski– coming on strong in pursuit of his first title at the top level. It wasn't all that long ago that Johnsn was the kid, chasing down his boss and mentor, Jeff Gordon.
Though Keselowski gave up the points lead, it's pretty remarkable, how he finished the race, given where he started. Starting 32nd at a short track often puts you in harm's way, as you try to jockey your way forward amongst the heavy traffic, with cars that may be slower, and some drivers with not nearly as much to lose. Considering his predicament, the driver of the Blue Deuce is grateful to come out sixth. "This team has a tremendous amount of heart. I'm proud of them" said Keselowski. "This championship is going to come down to Homestead. You have to be in a position where you're in shot of it. We have to do what we need to do to be in contention at Homestead."
Johnson has transitioned from that hungry young guy in 2006, to one who has fought off a variety of challengers, from a variety of angles. He's not expecting Keselowski to go away quietly, as he sees something he has before in the contender. "I guess I see more of a familiar, never quit, fight-to-the-end attitude out of the 2 team that I've seen with some of the best in the sport, if it's Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordon. Denny, when I raced him, Mark Martin, they have that tenacity to stay after it and they're doing a great job."
Recognizing that Texas bears a similarity to Chicago, there are reasons Johnson expects Bad Brad to hang with him. Denny Hamlin's misfortunes also serve as a cautionary tale as well. "We're ready to race under any conditions. He's a great driver. It's a great team. Next two races will tell the tale. Anything can happen. We could both wad it up next week and Clint Bowyer is your champion. You never know. You got to go race the race."
Keselowski has confidence down the stretch. "We have Texas coming up, very similar to Chicago. I'm sure it's going to be a duel with the 48 there. We'll keep fighting the good fight." He sounds more than ready to hunt, and get the 48 lined up in his sights. "This championship is going to come down to Homestead. You have to be in a position where you're in shot of it. We have to do what we need to do to be in contention at Homestead."
Just two points separate the former champion from challenger. Keselowski has the confidence and the car to hunt down the points leader, but as often as not, the prey escapes the predator. Can Brad Keselowski become that famed trophy hunter? Will Jimmie Johnson go down as one of those famed 4-point bucks that somehow eludes his stalkers to survive yet one more season.
Grab a seat, pop open a cold one. The hunt is on.

Westfield Mass. – The Fitchburg State ice hockey team suffered tough 3-2 setback to the Owls of Westfield State University this evening in Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) action from the Amelia Park Ice Arena..
The Basics
Score: Fitchburg State 2, Westfield State 3
Records: Fitchburg State (9-7-2, 6-3-2 MASCAC) | Westfield State (9-6-3, 6-4-1 MASCAC)
How It Happened
Westfield State took the lead at the 2:01 mark of the first period as junior forward Rob Neuwirth (Zlin, Czech Republic) connected on his fifth tally of the season for the 1-0 margin before the Owls doubled their advantage (2-0) midway through the frame when junior Francois-Xavier Girard (St. Lazare, Que.) found the back of the net for his seventh goal on the year.
Following a goal by freshman Paul Frys (Portland, Ore.) that pushed Westfield State's margin to 3-0, Fitchburg State cut into the deficit 11:54 into the stanza when sophomore Sascha Figi (Kloten, Switzerland) gathered a feed from senior Ricky Kramer (Barnstead, N.H.) and connected on his team-leading 21st marker of the season.
In the final period of play, the Green and Gold responded again 9:09 into the frame as senior Nick DiNicola (Wolcott, Conn.) potted his ninth score of the 2018-19 campaign on assists from freshman Ryan Murphy (Wayzata, Minn.) and Figi to make the score 3-2, but that as close as the Falcons would get as Owls netminder Thierry Messervier (Montreal, Que.) would turn aside a pair of shots down the stretch to give Westfield State the 3-2 victory.
By the Numbers
- Figi extends his national leading goals total to 21 for the Falcons
- 33rd meeting between two schools with Falcons 19-12-2 all-time vs the Owls
- Westfield State held a 39-34 margin in shots
- Fitchburg State finished 1-for-5 with the man advantage
- Sophomore Brian McGrath (Worcester, Mass.) stopped 36 shots for the Falcons
- Messervier made 32 saves for the Owls
Up Next
Falcons will host the Lancers of Worcester State on Saturday for a MASCAC matchup, starting at 5:00 PM. Owls will visit Plymouth State on the same date for a conference clash at 6:00 PM.

Diary of
a Nagual Woman
"What I learned from Della changed my life. I had been trapped in belief

past those illusions taught me to see myself more clearly & gave
me the confidence & personal power I had always been lacking before."
"I'm so
jazzed about being turned on to the Toltec teachings! It's like
being awake for the first time! Being with Della & Orlando and having my
energy shifted was like coming from the dark into the light.
Della & Orlando taught me about Dreaming, and becoming Whole is
indescribable, and truly priceless. I'm convinced it saved my
sanity. I wish I had done this 5 years sooner!"
The Life & Death Dialogs
Scry Designs
With Us On
What are we?
What most people do not realize is that even our physical bodies are made of energy. At the molecular level, we are swirling atoms - the same building blocks of which the stars and the planets are comprised - and so it is important to remember that we are as infinite and eternal as the universe itself. Our energy has always been here and always will be - and it is when that energy is in motion that we are at our prime state of well-being. By contrast, it is when our energy becomes stagnant that we begin to experience various states of unwellness.
The reason it is important to realize our true nature is because it is through the manipulation of energy that we may come into a greater alignment with our own sense of higher purpose and spiritual well-being. By beginning to see ourselves as beings of light, we lay the groundwork for the process of becoming beings of light. As Orlando once said in a riddle that took years to unravel: "You have to be immortal before you will know how to become immortal."
It was not physical immortality to which the riddle was speaking, but to the eternal nature of our awareness. In short, we have to be in alignment with our energetic nature before we can begin to manifest our greatest potential - both in our everyday lives, and in our spiritual evolution.
The largest problem we face is remembering who we are.
When we fail to remember our connection to our infinite nature, dis-ease overtakes our well-being.
Seeing Energy, Cleaning the Lens of Perception
It has been observed by shamans & healers of various traditions that the manner in which we assemble our world determines the ease or difficulty of our journey. When our "assemblage point" is out of alignment due to any number of potential reasons, the result is that our path becomes increasingly difficult, and the ability to move forward in our ordinary lives or on our spiritual journey may be seriously hampered if not altogether impeded.
It could be said that the assemblage point is the lens through which we experience Life. When that lens is askew, nothing will appear in its normal light or its normal focus.
An energy shift is actually a forced movement of the assemblage point, and may be accomplished by a qualified seer who perceives energy directly - for the purpose of bringing the Whole Self back into a proper energetic alignment.
Why does dis-ease exist?
The word itself means, simply, "disruption of ease," and it is a state of being that may exist on any or all levels: physical, mental, spiritual. When one of our systems is not functioning properly, the result is potential dis-ease in all our systems. And, of course, this takes us back to the realization that we are made of energy. We are beings of Spirit, and when our spirit is out of balance, all that we are tends to be out of balance as well. And so it stands to reason that when we can heal the Spirit, the imbalances in the rest of our systems experience healing simultaneously and automatically.
But first it is important to understand why dis-ease exists in the first place. Why are we not simply well-beings?
By nature, we are. And yet, through the course of living, it is inevitable that we experience injuries and traumas of one sort or another - and it is the cumulative effect of these traumas that results in dis-ease of all varieties, whether physical, mental or spiritual. The reason for this is that the traumas we experience - everything from major life-altering events such as the loss of a loved one, to more minor traumas such as not getting a promotion we were hoping for at work - result in an actual slowing of our energy bodies, and that slowing may be defined as a "heaviness" which has the effect of dragging us down.
Just as the physical body can experience damage to its immune system, so it is with our energy body. As the various traumas of our lives accumulate without adequate healing, we begin to experience depression, anger, and what amounts to a debilitation of the spirit. At times, we may not even be consciously aware of these symptoms. Often, it is only when we begin to realize we are unhappy or dissatisfied or simply adrift emotionally that something is out of balance at a deeper level.
One thing is certain: we have witnessed a virtual pandemic of depression and hopelessness in recent years - and it isn't because the traumas in our lives are any more or less than any other generation has faced. It is simply that the culture in which we live has programmed us in such a way that most of us have lost our own ability to heal ourselves at the molecular level of energy. Put another way - we have lost touch with our individual and very powerful connection to Spirit.
What is Spirit?
Simply this: the living force within each and every living thing. And it is at the level of Spirit that all healing occurs - for it can be observed through quantum mechanics that we are energy. To heal our energy bodies is to heal ourselves at the very level of our component parts.
How does an energy shift work?
As a result of the various traumas and injuries we suffer over the course of a long period of time, our energy becomes stagnant, literally depressed (heavy) - like trying to walk on a planet whose gravity is stronger than that to which we are accustomed here on Earth. The long-term effect is that the process becomes cumulative - not only does our energy move slower and slower, but it begins to attach that heaviness to our other mind/body/spirit systems. We find ourselves caught in a downward spiral that may result in constant feelings of tiredness, weakness, or a general sense of unwellness that cannot really be described. Some may experience it as lethargy, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritability, depression, anxiety, disassoiation, or simply a pervading sense of being out of step with the world. In other cases, symptoms of an out-of-balance energy body may become more severe if not treated, and result in a variety of physical ailments as well - from an increase in colds or flu, to more life-threatening manifestations.
The Good News
Once you've had your energy shifted back into a state of positive motion, the natural tendency is for healing to begin to occur on all levels of mind/body/spirit. In many traditions of shamanism, it is recognized that all dis-ease begins in the energy body - and that by realigning that energy to its natural "spin" within the infinite universe, healing may be experienced on all levels of our existence: mind, body, spirit.
Energy shifts are available through Quantum Shaman™ - and may be performed directly by Della or one of her personally trained facilitators. While a general energy shift is always helpful to anyone on a spiritual path - a form of mind/body/spirit maintenance - we are pleased to offer more specialized energy shifts for specific situations and conditions. Just as an apple and an orange may seem somewhat alike on the surface, at the level of their energetic vibration, they are very different. So it is with the various mis-alignments of our energy bodies. An energy body that is out of balance due to migraines, for example, is going to require a different type of energy shift than an energy body that is out of balance due to some form of addiction such as alcoholism, smoking or drugs.
For that reason, we have found that a variety of different shifts of the energetic field may provide better results over a longer period of time. Since every ailment or disruption is centered on a different area of the energy body, a qualified seer may make energetic adjustments to those various energetic fields individually so that all fields come into alignment for a more integrated sense of well-being.
Energy shifts may be
performed in person or through the portal of the Dreaming Body, so
even if we are not able to meet in person, I can still assist you
with a shift through Dreaming.

Learn about our Medical Review Board Steven Gans, MD Written by twitter Written by Matthew Tull, PhD Matthew Tull, PhD is a professor of psychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in post-traumatic stress disorder. Learn about our editorial policy Matthew Tull, PhD Updated on October 02, 2019 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Overview Symptoms & Diagnosis Causes & Risk Factors Treatment Living With In Children PhotoAlto/Frederic Cirou / Getty Images The severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms can change over time, and therefore, it is important to recognize PTSD early warning signs that may indicate your symptoms are being triggered or worsening. How to Identify Early Warning Signs Managing the symptoms of PTSD takes a lot of effort and the regular use of healthy coping skills. Sometimes stressful experiences or changes in mood may make it difficult to keep up these healthy coping skills. For instance, a person with PTSD may notice herself slipping into the use of avoidance behaviors (for example, isolating herself from loved ones) or unhealthy coping strategies, such as substance use, deliberate self-harm, or binge eating. This could lead to PTSD symptoms returning or becoming worse, or, in other words, a relapse. Given this, it is very important to learn how to catch a relapse early on. While the term "relapse prevention" is commonly used with regards to substance abuse—that is, a person with a substance use problem is considered to have "relapsed" if they go back to regularly drinking or using drugs after a period of abstinence—the term can also be used with other conditions, such as PTSD. PTSD: Coping, Support, and Living Well Relapse Prevention in PTSD Relapse prevention is a set of skills designed to reduce the likelihood that symptoms (such as those of PTSD) will worsen or that a person will return to unhealthy behavior, such as substance use. Skills include: Identifying early warning signs that symptoms may be worseningRecognizing high-risk situations for relapseUnderstanding how everyday, seemingly mundane decisions may put you on the road to relapse (for example, skipping lunch one day may make you more vulnerable to being in a bad mood) You can think about relapse prevention in the same way you think about fire prevention. We can take a number of steps to prevent fires, such as having fire extinguishers handy, using smoke detectors in our homes, or making sure we keep flammable things away from open flames or sources of heat. However, despite taking all of these steps, fires still happen. However, all of these preventive efforts do a lot to reduce the frequency and severity of fires. Similarly, there are a number of things you can do to prevent the return or increase of PTSD symptoms. That being said, it would be unreasonable to think that PTSD symptoms may never be triggered. Some things are out of our control. For example, you may inadvertently see a reminder of your traumatic event or get pulled into a conversation about something that reminds you of it. Anniversaries of a traumatic event are also unavoidable and are often associated with a resurgence in PTSD symptoms. Through the use of relapse prevention skills, you can identify the early warning signs of returning or worsening PTSD symptoms, which allows you to take quick action. PTSD Warning Signs Symptoms do not usually just pop up out of the blue. They are usually preceded by some warning signs. These can be many (sometimes minor) things, such as the experience of certain emotions, changes in thoughts, or changes in behavior. Below are common warning signs. See if any of these are consistent with your experience, but remember that everyone's PTSD symptoms and signs are unique. Changes in How You Think "I don't care about going to therapy anymore.""Nothing is working out for me. I am never going to get better.""No one cares about me or what I do. What's the point of going on?""I'm feeling a little down. This must mean that I am going to fall into a deep depression again." Changes in Your Mood "Everyone is getting on my nerves lately.""I just don't feel happy, even when I am around people that I know I love.""I am beginning to feel really jumpy and on edge.""My mood keeps changing rapidly. In minutes, I can go from feeling really happy to really down or terrified." Changes in Your Behavior "I just don't have the energy to take care of myself in the morning. I haven't showered for days.""I don't want to be around people anymore. I've been isolating myself.""I've been drinking more, but just to take the edge off of my feelings a little.""I've noticed that I am less talkative than I used to be." What Are Your Warning Signs? Awareness of your own personal warning signs may make a return of PTSD symptoms feel more predictable and less unexpected. Recognition of your own warning signs also provides you with the opportunity to cope with these changes before they become unmanageable. Once you have identified your warning signs, come up with a plan of action. You can turn to a mental health professional to help with this. PTSD Discussion Guide Get our printable guide to help you ask the right questions at your next doctor's appointment. Download PDF Your therapist or psychiatrist may also engage you in a form of psychotherapy or "talk therapy" called stress inoculation therapy, where you learn to manage stressful and anxiety-ridden situations. In the end, under the guidance of your therapist, you need to figure out how you can best cope. In addition, it is also a good idea to share your warning signs with a loved one so that he can also be on the lookout and help you cope should one arise.

Industrial Strength Data Modeling
The bottom line for nonlinear modeling in industrial world is fairly simple:
- the world is nonlinear (exploring the problem structure is important);
- the world is full of noise (uncertainty is everywhere);
- the world is complex (we almost never have all the information);
- decisions are multi-objective (interaction between objectives makes the search difficult);
- problems are multi-dimensional (getting to solutions is difficult and exploration is essential);
- people time is expensive;
- computing time is cheap;
- life does not have to be hard;
- nonlinear modeling has unique capabilities and success has been demonstrated in the real world.
As shown below, there are many aspects to a good model. However, the contention is that algorithms and computers have advanced such that it is appropriate to shift the modeling burden more towards the machines and, furthermore, that nonlinear modeling techniques have some unique advantages relative to their linear peers with respect to both the quality of the developed models, auxiliary insights and total-cost-of-ownership (model development + deployment + maintenance).
By accurate we, of course, mean that the model replicates the observed data behavior. Tightly coupled with this are the notions of robustness — the ability to withstand perturbations and changes in the underlying system, and credibility — the ability to produce rational predictions.
For example, if a model predicts that the best place to plant corn is four inches above the ground then the model will not be credible and the modeler will, at best, not be asked back for future work.
Credibility is assisted if the model is interpretable — that is, the proper (from a human insight perspective) variable combinations are being used and the response and limit behaviors are reasonable. The ideal in this respect is a simple mathematical expression which can be reviewed and explored for insight.
Empirical models are generally quite good for interpolation between data points; however, extrapolation can be a major issue since when extrapolating there are no constraints on the model behavior and nonsensical results can quickly be generated. Thus, we would like our models to be extrapolative and gracefully degrade when moving outside of the development regime. Related to this is the need for self-assessment to that the user can be warned that the model output should be viewed with suspicion.
Finally, and perhaps most important, the model should be cost-effective. Total-cost-of-ownership needs to consider the economic benefit, the deployment and maintenance costs as well as costs associated with the actual model development.
Further important topics of real-world nonlinear modeling are:

Nearly all friends are like 'snow flakes'! Here today, gone soon! People don't like to be called acquaintances. Sounds too temporary, but most friends are just that! An 'awake person' is a person who loves their inner selves. It's easier to find a 7' woman than find someone who embodies and feels the love of bliss inside. An 'awake one' is always open to be a friend to the point that a person will allow, and even then always to be available for a closer relationship or friendship. The best friends are likely still strangers in not having met.
A best friend always warms the heart no matter what. Rare is anyone available to be really a best friend instead they can only accept the level they can see, return, and receive. One who isn't their own best friend will only find someone at their level to be a best friend which is still 'teflon' or contingent upon infinite factors including an endless array of circumstances. Fear of letting anyone love you, and you to love others, especially as it goes deeper, is a line few can cross.
Someone awake will always be your friend, no matter what, as much as is possible for them, and more. An awake one knows that they are someones real friend, but realizes that the one they are friend to does not give the same guarantee of friendship. Doesn't change the 'awakened' being a heartfelt friend. All but the rare unconditional friend are acquaintances who for their ego prefers to unconsciously masquerade as a friend until a tomorrow comes when the 'friend charade' melts away. In Los Angeles/Hollywood it doesn't snow, but the saying goes, 'there are a lot of flakes'!
The 'awakened one' always is there to love as much as you allow, and circumstances permit. You are the fearful and insecure one who likely will not move from a safe niche of being surrounded by a shield that keeps you losing real closeness. You find substitutes to hide behind from drugs, belief systems, all addictions, self doubts, even superficial friendliness without any real depth. You are alone. Alone is wonderful if you can reach that inner love that rests in your heart. Otherwise that alone is really 'loneliness' that creates anxieties, depressions and all kinds of fears and negative consequences.
Real love and friendship can't be lost, and always burns with a flame of all positive emotions known to exist! The world of divineness supports their life 'karmically'. Sat Chit Anand! {Truth-Consciousness-Bliss}

Bare Feet
I stand on this dirt patch that my son likes to dig out of, feeling the damp cold underneath my toes left from the incessant amount of rain that happened over the weekend. It's humid out here, but not the sweat-my-ass-off kind. There's a slight coolness to the small breeze that passes over my face, bringing the aroma of summer grass mixed with the first stages of autumn leaves. It's coming, I can feel it. Fall is almost here. It arrives late for us Floridians, but it arrives nonetheless; especially in North Florida.
The sound of dragon fly buzz accompanied by the songs of two different species of birds rings just loud enough to create an accompaniment track for outside speculating. Not too strong, as it often is in the woods, but just as you would expect for a rural part of town where nature collides a little less manicured with the modernization of human creation.
The muted sky is overcast, but the sun still shines through the clouds enough to make me squint, and I succumb to my closing eyes, taking it all in with my other four senses.
If I accomplish nothing else today, which may very well be the case, I can at least know that I'm valued. I believe it to be true; His Word tells me so. But He is reminding me with the dirt, and the breeze and the buzz and the light.
I am alive, and I am loved.

Research shows that playing outdoors reduces ADHD symptoms and summer is a great time to get your kids outside. Here are some ideas to give your children structured outdoor exercise (while having fun!):
- When playing with their friends, make sure they have access to jump ropes, hula hoops, roller skates, basketballs, etc.
- Sign them up for an outdoor sport like swimming, tennis, or soccer.
- Go hiking or kayaking as a family
- Put together a bike or running race with their friends. Give out prizes for motivation.
- Sign them up for a summer camp which involves obstacle courses, sports, and hiking.
Keep track of how your children respond to these activities, what they enjoy, and how you might be able to improve them. Ask your child to use a rating system and discuss what they did and did not like about each activity. Discovering their interests may lead to...

Market Rasen First XI were left frustrated as they were unable to capitalise on a superb start at Cherry Willingham on Saturday.
The Firsts travelled to the defending Lincs County League champions on a high after last weekend's results, and having won the toss, elected to bowl first.
The decision proved the correct one as Rasen made an excellent start thanks to in-form bowlers Ryan Penniston and Will Bradford who took five wickets in the first 15 overs to leave Cherry reeling on 34-5.
Penniston then took two more quick wickets as the home side continued to struggle on 52-7 at the halfway stage.
However, Cherry showed the fighting spirit which won them the title last season as Andrew Johnson and Joe Dobson built a partnership of 66 for the eighth wicket to take the hosts past 100.
Johnson then brought up his half-century as Cherry looked to post a defendable first innings score.
Rasen managed to claim the remaining wickets and bowled them out for 166 with a ball to spare of the innings.
Penniston finished with impressive figures of 4 for 23 from 16 overs, while Johnson top-scored with 56, well supported by Dobson (43).
In reply, the visitors lost two early wickets, but recovered well through Dave Papworth (35), Lee Chambers (17) and Chris Higgins (19).
However when Chambers was bowled and Higgins was then run out soon after with the score on 80, the chances of chasing down the total had diminished.
Rasen were able to frustrate the home side by batting out the overs, finishing on 102-9 to prevent Cherry Willingham from claiming maximum points.
They dropped to fourth in the Premier Division table and next host Holton-le-Clay on Saturday (1pm start).
Cherry Willingham: 166.
Bowling: R. Penniston 16-5-23-4; W. Bradford 12-2-54-3; C. Scales 9-1-24-1; C. Higgins 5.5-0-23-1; L. Entwhistle 7-0-28-1.
Rasen: D. Papworth 35, W. Bradford 0, N. Davies 0, L. Chambers 17, C. Higgins 19, R. Chamberlain 0, C. Scales 0, J. Snell 1, L. Entwhistle 5, R. Penniston 4*, M. Bedford 0*, Extras 21, Total: 102-9.

Photos from the first opening night, the "Tut Director's Gala," can be seen here, featuring some of the Fine Arts Museum's most generous donors. Our museums are funded, in large part, by the kind of people that you see here, who have a true passion for the arts, and for the enrichment of San Francisco culture. There is no doubt but that the quality of life of our great City would suffer without the arts and their supporters. We salute them!

A dose of Thai fun | 03 april 2017
All HMSM students spend a five-month operational internship abroad in their second year of their study. Developing a Global Mind-set is one of the spearheads of our programme. Therefore, the students blog about their intercultural experiences. Take a minute to read the blog of Laura Kroon about her experience in Thailand!
A dose of Thai fun
Every culture has a word for fun, but the Thai word, sanuk, is freighted with more meaning, more reverence, than most of them. Sanuk is not fun as mindless diversion or frivolity. It's fun as a valuable activity. So read and learn.
Serious fun
One of my colleagues told me (in slightly imperfect English): "Yes, but you Europeans take your fun very seriously. We Thais do not. We don't believe in this work-hard, play-hard mentality. Our fun is interweaved throughout the day."
Although Thailand is known as "The Land of Smiles", the Thai smile is considerably more complex, than most of us realize. Yes, Thais smile when expressing joy or gratitude, but they also smile to hide negative emotions. Thai people will even smile at a funeral.
Different cultures
The conversation with my colleague continued and I kept on learning. There is another word that is very close to sanuk: mai pen rai. It's translated as "don't bother", "never mind" or "no problem". It is not meant negatively, as in "never mind, I'll do it myself", but, rather, as a reminder of what truly matters, as in "never mind; this too shall pass".
It's a life philosophy that values harmony, avoids confrontation, and recognizes, in a very Buddhist way, that all of life is temporary. What seems like a life-or-death matter probably isn't. Our Western culture is task-focused and direct. Thai culture is process-focused and indirect. Fun is not something done in order to achieve an outcome, such as relaxation or team building.
More 'sanuk'
Of course isn't every Thai person happy all the time and fun can't serve as a substitute for hard work. Although it seems they are onto something. What we in Europe deem as serious activities could probably use a dose of Sanuk, because a furrowed brow usually leads to nothing but wrinkles.

Besides the fact that the sonogram says 'I'm a boy' it's pretty obvious to tell. WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!! We couldn't be happier. I just wanted to share.

Bad dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have a dog named Cooper. He is a mutt, a mix between a Chesapeake Bay retriever, rottweiler and Border collie. He is black. He is about 7 months old. We love our dog. He is a good dog... most of the time. He learned very quickly. He minds very well. He gets really excited when he sees us. He is a lot of fun. I really love having him in our home, besides the hair.
So the other day... Darrik usually takes Cooper with him to work. He works construction so Cooper can run around and be where people are all day. Last Friday Darrik had a meeting in Salt Lake all day so Cooper couldn't come. We decided that we could leave him in his kennel in the house and his mom agreed to come over a couple times a day and let him out. At about 2:30 I got a phone call from his mom saying she can't find the key to our house we had given her. She was at our house and couldn't get in. A little panicked and annoyed I told her I would leave work, come home and take care of him… and take care of him I did.
OH MY GOSH!!! I don't know how they do it. Some dogs are escape artists. Mine just so happened to be one last week. We still to this day don't know how he did it, but when I walked in the door he was standing right there wagging his tail like crazy happy to see me. He was locked in his kennel. The only way to open the door is to press down on one lever and pull up on the other one, standard kennel, but how did he do it? I opened the back door to let him into the back yard. I then walked around the house to see the damage. There was a dry pee puddle by the back door on the hard wood, better than the carpet. The kitchen looked okay, my couch was still intact, and my entertainment center was chew free thank goodness. So then I walked into my bedroom and found this…
My brand new shoes…
Garbage strewn every where…
A total mess, but luckily no poop...
I hate to say it, but I completely lost it. I let Cooper back in the house and told him to come. I was walking towards the bedroom and he wouldn't come. He knew he was in trouble. So I dragged him by his collar. He has never chewed anything ever. He has his toys, his rope, bones, ball and frisbee and has always been content chewing and playing with them. We have never had a problem. I think because he was left home alone all day he went into abandoned mode. I smacked him a couple of times, kicked him, hit him with my eaten shoes. Then I just broke down and started bawling. I couldn't believe I was acting this way. I was so mad at him, but it wasn't his fault he was left home alone all day. I was not happy. But that is my bad dog story. Needless to say, he has been a perfect angel since then. I guess he just needed a good beating to put things into perspective.

Arguments in the case of Randy Credico et al v. New York State Board of Elections, will be heard on October 19 at 3:00 pm in United States District Court, Eastern New York Division, Courtroom 10A S, Chief Judge Raymond Dearie presiding.
Credico was nominated by the Libertarian Party and the Anti-Prohibition Party for the U.S. Senate (6-year term). Together with the other statewide candidates of those bodies, he collected approximately 34,000 signatures on Libertarian Party ballot access petitions and approximately 27,000 signatures on Anti-Prohibition Party ballot access petitions, more than twice the number required by New York State law.
Under New York State Law the Libertarian Party and the Anti-Prohibition Party are Independent Nominating Bodies. Recognized Parties are those that received at least 50,000 votes for their candidate for Governor in the previous election.
New York State Election Law 7-104(4)(e) limits a candidate who receives nominations from two or more Independent Nominating Bodies to one ballot position. Recognized party candidates' names appear once for each party that has nominated them. The name of Credico's opponent, Charles Schumer, will appear under the Democrat Party, Independence Party and Working Families Party.
Credico's attorney, Gary Donoyan will argue that 7-104(4)(e) violates the plaintiff's First and Fourteenth Amendment rights while subsidizing the recognized parties' exercise of those same rights. In addition Donoyan will argue that the requested relief creates no additional burden on state election officials and in fact reduces their burden by making the ballot easier to design.

These scientists generally work as researchers within a college, university, government agency, or private industry settings.
Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Traditionally, neuroscience has been seen as a branch of biology. Nevertheless, it is currently an interdisciplinary science that involves other disciplines such as psychology, computer science, mathematics, physics, philosophy, and medicine. As a result, the scope of neuroscience has broadened to include different approaches used to study the molecular biology|molecular, neural development|developmental, neuroanatomy|structural, neurophysiology|functional, evolutionary neuroscience|evolutionary, computational neuroscience|computational, and neurological disorders|medical aspects of the nervous system. The techniques used by neuroscientists have also expanded enormously, from biophysical and molecular studies of individual neuron|nerve cells to brain mapping|imaging of perceptual and motor tasks in the brain. Recent theoretical advances in neuroscience have also been aided by the study of neural networks. The term neurobiology is usually used interchangeably with the term neuroscience, although the former refers specifically to the biology of the nervous system, whereas the latter refers to the entire science of the nervous system.
Amy, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter and Sheldon have all demonstrated knowledge in this subject.

In the fall of 2006 I reached a breaking point. I was last person to admit I could no longer handle being a full time pastor, a full time "kidologist" (whatever that is!) – run a non-profit ministry while writing, speaking, training, etc. and be a husband and then over-night I became a father. Six months later I snapped. That is over-simplifying the breakage that took place – but this is a public blog. But the Sunday after I resigned my pastorate and canceled all my speaking engagements and headed into what would be two years of healing and rebuilding my life from the inside out – I went to a board member and friends church ready to soak in instead of put out.
As though a conspiracy against my heart, the sermon series was tited "Out of Control." Go figure. Who told them I was coming?
I talk in detail about this and its impact on me in the first Kidology Online Training video First Things First which many have told me has in turn impacted them. (Some have shared their feedback in the forum discussion for that video)
On the stage was a giant TV Remote control. Each button related to a sermon. Here is a QUICK overview getting to the point of this post:
Stop – Sabbath: Me? Guilty.
Fast Forward – Vision, living with the future in mind. Me? Oh, boy. I had that button stuck. All I used to talk about was Vision! I'm all about Vision, which is good, Great even! But I failed to live in TODAY. Guilty.
Reverse – Dealing with the past. Luckily, I got a break that week. This sermon dealt with dealing with childhood wounds and I had a wonderful childhood, and I really don't have baggage there, so I was received. It was a good message, but I enjoyed a week of not feeling beat up.
Pause – Reflection – stopping to reflect on how is your walk with God is TODAY, your marriage, your relationship with kids, friends, etc. I was always about where I was going – I needed to plan periods to stop and ask, how are things right now? Guilty.
But the one that got me the worst – and that I didn't see coming, and the point of this post, and the reason I am heading to Yosemite this week, and why my post says "Thank you Pastor Jeff Griffin" –
WAS PLAY: RECREATION. I totally did not see this one coming!
Pastor Jeff defined recreation as RE-CREATION. That which re-creates you.
Let me explain.
Up to that point, I had always said,
"I am so blessed that my occupation, my vocation and my recreation are all the same: children's ministry!"
I couldn't have been more wrong!
I mistook FUN for re-creation. It IS TRUE that children's ministry is FUN – there is no more fun and enjoyable ministry than working with kids – but it doesn't re-create me, it DRAINS ME! And I had been being drained for fifteen years.
This may come as a shocker to many who know me, but I am an introvert.
WHAT?!?!? But I am a public speaker and love to entertain and make people laugh and am comfortable in the spotlight. Yes, that is where my gifts and talents are – but I recharge and refresh and renew alone.
That Sunday Pastor Jeff challenged us to intentionally plan a way to be re-created explaining that this is the true nature of recreation. I leaned over to my wife, almost sarcastically, because at that moment, I thought his challenge was IMPOSSIBLE, and I said, almost bitterly, as I was so empty and drained and exhausted and hurt and in pain and said,
"The only way I could be re-created would be to go to Yosemite alone for several days with just my camera and worship music and be alone with God."
Granted, in September 2006, I was in no place to do such a thing – but the seed was born and the idea took root and would not go away. A year later I got the courage to ask my wife seriously if she would let me pursue this dream, and she said if I would go with some other men. (She feared me falling off a cliff for the sake of a picture!) I also had shared with her that I knew I couldn't be the only children's pastor who needed this!
As a result, Yosemite Summit was born. Me and eight men have since gone twice. You can read and view pictures and video of the Summit of 2008 and 2009. If you need this event and can not afford it, a 100% scholarship has been given for this year.
But today, over four years after I heard that sermon, my dream of going alone for several days to Yosemite for a one on one with God in Yosemite is coming true.
I want to thank Pastor Jeff for that sermon. I also want to thank him for taking time with me for several meals and meeting during those two years of healing in Illinois. His grace, love, advice and belief in me was healing.
Some see me as some children's ministry blogger or 'guru' or expert. Some have called me a 'giant' of children's ministry – those words scare me. My other website may be giant, but I'm no giant. I'm a little man with huge flaws and I thank God for men like Pastor Jeff who saw only the man and who saw none the stuff around me and cared less about my ministry, and more about me and loved me into a new place of health and vitality that has equipped me for the next phase of life and serving God with new energy and perspective that is free from the old drive that while accomplished a lot, about killed me and my marriage.
I finally understand what it truly means to be dead to self, and alive in Christ.
Thanks Jeff – I'm in Yosemite this week, hangin' with God because of you!
