Mondays aren't usually my favorite, but ever since Connor started preschool on Mondays and Tuesdays, I can get so much done!! So much to do tomorrow!
Little Charlotte has a grooming appointment and has to be dropped off first thing in the morning and then I have to take my car in for a maintenance appointment and get a rental... hopefully a good one! And, then to my OB's office!
Tomorrow will be especially great because we are having our first ultrasound! Yea! We were a little disappointed last week when we didn't have an ultrasound at our first OB appointment, but since the doc says my uterous is a bit tilted, she recommended one for tomorrow. It's not a big deal, I think she mostly just realized I really wanted an early ultrasound and to hear the heartbeat, so that was the excuse. ;)
With Connor, I had an ultrasound at about 7 weeks due to some spotting, so I guess I wasn't really sure what was protocol. N E Way.... I'll have pics to post tomorrow!
We are tired from hitting up the Great Train Expo at the Kentucky International Convention Center in downtown Louisville today. There wasn't a whole lot to look at that Jamie and I were interested in, but Connor had a great time checking out all the trains! He is really into trains right now... mostly because we got him the Thomas Wooden Train table for his second birthday which he is now obsessed with! Luckily, we were able to get out of there only purchasing a little Thomas bathtub squirt toy and nothing more!
I've also got a huge to-do list for this week including: putting Christmas stuff away (errr), organizing maternity clothes so I know what I have, and packing for our New York trip next week! Better get to bed!

14 Mar How to Know You're a Photographer/ Videographer
Sometimes, trying to describe the difference between a professional and an amateur is like trying to describe what air looks like. This is the case when describing how pro photographers and videographers differ from their amateur lookalikes. Sometimes you can tell just by looking at the quality of their work and how famous they are. But in other situations, there is a fine line between the two categories. It can even come down to one's opinion.
If you are a photographer or videographer struggling with your identity, you are certainly not alone. Although it tends to be a grey area, here are some tips to help you err on the side of professionalism.
The Tangible Stuff:
You have experience
Your portfolio doesn't have to be a mile high to let people see what you offer. However, you should have some experience. This is will come naturally as you go through your career. But again, you need to start somewhere. Even though people learn at different speeds and quality is valuable, someone who has a month of experience probably won't have the same insight as their friend who's been in the field for two years.
You know your preferences
Once you reach the sought-after "pro" status, you'll likely have a solid idea about what you enjoy shooting. Whether you narrow this down to one of two categories – weddings, events, nature, sports, etc. – or keep it somewhat broad – as is the case when working for a news outlet or studio – you can confidently tell your clients what you will and won't do.
You charge what you're worth
As a professional, it probably won't suit you to charge $10,000 to take some footage or photos of someone's engagement party. On the other hand, you won't be scraping the bottom of the barrel for $20 jobs either. Professionals honestly look at how valuable their time, talent, and resources are and will charge accordingly. Seeing how much others in the same league are asking for can be helpful, and while experienced people do everything to distinguish themselves from the pack, they are also keenly aware of how the market's demands fluctuate.
You have liability insurance
This is especially important for freelancers, who aren't automatically protected by a company. It can ease clients' minds to know you're covered in case you do work on private property.
The Stuff that Can't be Taught
You have great rapport with your clients
How do you treat someone well? Being respectful, polite, and easy to understand are great qualities to exhibit, for sure. But what about the traits that really win you the adoration of those you work for? It's one thing to be nice but to know what engages people so they can't help but adore your charm as much as your work, that's golden. This is something that really can't be taught in the traditional sense. Having strong emotional intelligence, a love of socializing, and being at-ease around people is what it takes and if you have it, you're probably going to be a fan favourite, so to speak.
You intuitively understand how to do a shoot
Certain techniques can be learned through education or mentorship. But when it comes to being distinct, having an eye for detail, and knowing how to capture a scene just so…well, that comes from a special place within. It's so individualized and delicate – especially because photography and videography are artistic in nature – that I couldn't even begin to describe how to tap into it. You might "just get it" or develop it gradually through being in field for a long period of time, or something completely different or in between. Try it for yourself to find out.
You want to keep taking photos and video
The old "practice makes perfect" adage is quite true, but I think it's missing a dimension, that being that you want to keep practicing. If filming or photographing becomes a bore, but you force yourself through it, consider what you're really achieving. You might have the talent to get by and even excel at what you do, but it won't be sustainable if you dread or are jaded by it.
Remember, turning your living into a life is attainable, especially in expressionistic careers like photography and videography.
There are plenty of things amateur and professional photographers and videographers have in common. Both can have top-of-the-line equipment, strong portfolios, and good-to-great references. What can set them apart, however, is how they go about their careers in an everyday sense: how well they understand their clients, subject matter, what direction they're going in, as well as having sufficient experience.
But here's something to think about. It's natural to want to be highly regarded in one's career, but at what point do praise and shiny titles make you happy? This isn't to say you shouldn't strive to be the master of your craft. Just think about who's defining you and whether you're stuck in a game of one-upmanship or are genuinely happy. After all, who are you living for? Let your film and photography skills be your source of joy and, whether you're a certified professional or not, you're probably on to something truly fantastic.

Australians lack confidence, captain claims
- Getty Images
The Australian cricket team are short on confidence. That's the considered opinion of George Bailey, the one day side's captain, a couple of weeks ahead of the Ashes. Given that the default setting for Australian confidence is usually upbeat verging on overbearing, this amounts to a significant admission.
Bailey was speaking after Australia made an early exit from the Champions' Trophy by losing to Sri Lanka. After a heavy defeat by England and a washed-out match with New Zealand, the loss confirmed that Australia's cricketers are not in the greatest shape. The recent furore over David Warner's punching of England's Joe Root has not helped.
Bailey has been an impressive stand-in captain in the absence of the injured Michael Clarke, although less so against Sri Lanka when he was run out in farcical circumstances. He is quite candid in his observations.
"There is probably not a great deal of confidence there," Bailey said. "But it's just a very different mindset, going from a one-day tournament to a Test series. The Ashes tends to bring out something special in both sides. Whatever can be written and said leading up into those games, until that first Test and the result of that first Test, that will dictate how the summer plays out."
The fitness of Clarke, known as "Pup", has been the issue dominating the Australia camp. Bailey wasn't certain that the captain would be ready for the first Test, but was optimistic. "I would imagine he would," Bailey said. "I was only really captain again this morning when Pup was ruled out. There was a real chance that he was going to play."
That sounded rather like Bailey being told to put a positive spin on Clarke's prospects. "If he could have got outside and got a bit more training under his belt in the last couple of days, I think he would have had a really good chance of playing this game," he added, seeming to blame the English climate for Clarke's lack of match fitness. It was a decent defensive performance from the stand-in batsman, but Australian morale remains suspect.

Camino de Santiago - page 13

A Pilgrim's Progress: Fr. Stephen Sanchez, OCD, on the Camino de Santiago – 2018 - page 13
Aug 9th
Happy Feast of St. Teresa Benedicta! Here in Europe - since she was declared co-patroness of Europe by St. John Paul II - her memorial is celebrated as a feast.
We got up threw our things together - we had to be out by 9am - and headed through the maze of the seminary in search of the exit. We made it into the crisp damp morning air and hired a cab to take us to the hotel. Yes, I said hotel! Jocelyn Raad and Lisa Blanton were joining us late this afternoon -- They were coming from France where they had traveled to a few days before to go to Lourdes, Notre Dame, and Sacre Cour -- they got us some rooms at Hotel Praza Quintana. Only a stones throw from the Cathedral.
Of course we got there early, it was about 9:15 am, the receptionist allowed us to store our things but couldn't check in till 3 or 2:30 at the earliest.
What to do? Go to the English mass at 10am! We go the Blessed Sacrament Chapel with plenty of time to pray and prepare. Mass starts and it is in Spanish...the English mass was in the Chapel of La Soledad!
Mass over....now what? Hmm.....we decided on chocolate con churros for breakfast! We had to celebrate Teresa Benedicta! After the churros...now what? I knew there were nuns in Santiago - 'let's go visit them or at least say "Hi" to the prioress'. We also decided to take them some pastries to celebrate Teresa Benedicta. So next on the list...find a pastry shop. We stood in line, asked for help from an over-busy attendant...that adventure done...we head out in search of our nuns with gifts of pastries and cookies.
We found a monastery of Poor Claires and right across the street Deacon Ron sees a statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. We get to the 'turn' (if you've never visited cloistered nuns, the 'turn' is like a big lazy suzan, where you place your gifts, etc., and it is turned into the cloister)- the nuns stop attending the turn from 1 - 3, its 12::30, so I ring the bell and hope for the best. Some other people start to show up as well. They also ring the bell. We wait. The portress comes to the turn - I identify myself and place the pastries in the turn. She tells me to wait while she attends to the others.
In a few minutes sister calls me back and passes a key to me through the turn. Mother would like for us to go to the parlor (speakroom). We get to the parlor and wait. The door to the double grill opens and we see a gathering community. We spent a lovely time visiting with the community for about 30 minutes but seemed like only seconds. They asked lots of questions about our Camino trip.
Then I told Mother that we hoped to concelebrate the next day at the Cathedral. Mother said - "Do not worry the sisters that are sacristans at the Cathedral are our neighbors - I'll call them and tell them to expect you and the deacons."
We left very happy with our visit. This was the first time for Peter and Ron to visit with our nuns. Friars in Burgos, nuns in Campostela - unfortunately we didn't have a chance to visit our nuns in Burgos.
We got back to the hotel and waited to check-in. We check-in, each room has a full-sized bed, bathroom, t.v., and AC!!After praising God for the amenities we fall into our 'let's do laundry' mode. We decide to go to the laundry together - we visit with an Italian dad and son who are at the laundromat as well. They are part of a larger group finishing the Camino. During the dry cycle Jocelyn and Lisa arrive at the hotel and Peter leaves to take them the room keys. We get back visit with them and the trip to France - then they suggest going to the evening pilgrim's mass at 7:30. So back to the Cathedral for another mass. At this mass they used the Botofumiero - the large thurible - after the closing prayer and before the final blessing. We all were amazed at the skill of the 'official' thurifiers! The botofumiero almost touched the ceilings in the side naves!! After the incensing we had the final blessing.
Immediately after mass I grabbed Deacon Ron and told him to take the girls to the crypt before the lines get long again - he dutifully escorted them to the crypt to pray before the relics of St. James.
Our sacred duties accomplished we went in search of dinner. After the breaking of bread we went to the hotel and slept a deep, comfortable and peaceful sleep. Thank you Lord!!!
Aug 10th
St. Lawrence
We got up early with the intention of getting in some tours before the noon pilgrim mass. The Cathedral opens at 7:30-ish. If you want to get in and pray before the relics of St. James and enjoy the beauty of each side altar then try to get there early. Before the pure 'tourists' get there.
For many people El Camino is not motivated by a 'religious' reason. For many it is a personal challenge or a 'walking vacation' equal to walking the Appalachian trail, many are not Catholic or hold to any real 'tradition'. Strange.
Anyway after a quick breakfast we head out towards the Cathedral, as I said only a stone's throw from the hotel.
We ask all around and are told we have to go to the museum office. It opens at 9 a.m.. - so we wait...at two different doors because there are two different museums. They open... we ask about tours of the Cathedral...they only do tours of the roof - the next English one might be at 10am, the other office is only the museum part. We had heard of 'package' tours where the Cathedral, the old town, and the museum were included.
We walk to the pilgrim office for info. They have no idea but they get us a phone number to call. Peter calls and sets up a tentative tour for the afternoon. We go back to the hotel to regroup. We are told there is a 'freetour' office that we go in search of - its closed.
By this time it's getting close to 10:30 and we need to get to the Cathedral early to get a pew. We go to the Cathedral get in-line, find a pew and I use this time for my morning silent prayer.
At 11:40 we head to the sacristy, I pull out my copy of the letter to the Archdiocese but sister waves it away saying "Mother Prioress called us - we are expecting you." I suppose the word of a Prioress carries more weight than an 'official letter' - sister shows us where the albs are and then into the main sacristy where i sign my name in the registry. Many clerics are vesting in red for St. Lawrence - 5 deacons and 9 concelebrating priests plus the two main celebrants and then in walks the Archbishop Julian and the rector.
After the Archbishop vests we process out and into the cathedral and up and into the main altar - Deacons Ron and Peter sit immediate to the gospel side of the altar. Because of the number of priests three of us go up another level of stairs into the canon's choir near the image of St. James.
The rector, a very pastoral and gentle man, made sure that Deacons Peter and Ron help with the preparation of the altar and the distribution of communion. At the end of mass and before the final blessing they once again prepared and used the botofumiero! I couldn't take any pictures because I was on the altar, but I did take the opportunity to take a closer picture of St. James!
After the incensing and final prayer we processed out and back into the sacristy, unvested and headed out to take-in more of the Cathedral at a more leisurely pace. Ron and Lisa went up to give St. James a hug before the line got too long and pray once again before the relics of St. James.
Very happy with our visit to the Cathedral - we went home for a siesta and went out for dinner and called it a day.
Thank you Lord for all the blessings known and unknown.

After some incidents back with the Sims 3 Exchange and copying of my work back then, I wasn't sure if I would even use the Gallery, to be honest. The lovely "Created By" feature gave me a false sense of security, though, and I did upload. I was forced to with the CAS Demo anyhow, but I should've pulled all my sims once the full game launched. I don't know if my favourites have been stolen and stripped of my name, as I only found proof of one of my creations being stolen. I took screenshots of the stolen work and my original, but I decided the action I would take would be to protect myself in the future. Therefore, I will no longer be uploading my sims creations to the EA Gallery. I will upload EA stuff that I've modified in some way or just rooms, but I will not share any sims or completed unique buildings.
I did modify an EA pre-built gym and turned it into a Bar venue for gamers. It's called "The Grind" (because grinding is something gamers do as well as those at dance clubs) and has card gaming tables for n00bs on the main floor, with computer and virtual games in the other room on the main floor, and then a bar and a room for the serious card gamers on the second floor. Since that was originally an EA building, I don't mind if someone downloads it and does all their voodoo to strip my name from the upload, because it was EA's hard work that I just tinkered with. Likewise, if someone takes a bathroom or bedroom that I share, and they build the whole rest of the house themselves, I don't even need credit. A thank you would be cool, but I am not going to complain about that.
I will continue to showcase my creations here in my blog, and it may be possible to share files through other methods than the EA Gallery. Please do not refrain from asking about such options if there is a creation of mine showcased in this blog that you'd like to download.
I would also just like to warn those of you who are working hard on your Sims creations: if it would bother you to see someone take credit for your hard work and deliberately take steps to strip your name from the file, to get around and abuse the system that EA put in place to provide credit to the original creator of a work, then do not upload anything important to you to the EA Gallery.
I was tempted to add this one to my Rants & Opinions category, but I'm not annoyed enough to have a colourful opinion or a good old rant about it yet. Tell me if this has happened to you, and show me examples, and I'll definitely start drawing attention to the problem. I'm just the kind of person that if I'm the only one victimized, I'll defend myself and warn others, but if it becomes a widespread issue, I tend to consider my offense capabilities.

'Portrait of Jean de Bourgogne, Bishop of Cambrai', c. 1513, Follower of Rogier van der Weyden
Follower of Rogier van der Weyden, c. 1513, 'Portrait of Jean de Bourgogne, Bishop of Cambrai', oil on oak panel, 14 x 8¾ in. (35.5 x 22.3 cm). Estimate $50,000 – $70,000. Photo Christie's Image Ltd 2015
Provenance: Anonymous sale; Sotheby's, New York, 24 January 2002, lot 138, as Burgundian School, circa 1470.
Notes: John of Burgundy (c. 1418-80) was the illegitimate son of John the Fearless (Dijon 1371-1419) by Agnès de Croÿ. His mother's nephew, Philippe de Croÿ, was one of Rogier van der Weyden's patrons (see his Portrait Diptych in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp). John studied with Antoine Haneron at Leuven, and in 1437 became Provost of Saint-Pierre at Lille. He was consecrated at Hesdin in May 1440 by Jean Chevrot, and made his entry into Cambrai on 10 July 1442, although he left a month later, never to return, preferring to live in Brussels and Mechlin. The identity of the sitter is confirmed by a drawing in the 'Recueil d'Arras' (fol. 96; see fig. 1) of nearly the same likeness, with minor differences. The coat of arms bearing the fleur de lys and bars references the court of Burgundy, and the dividing line signals John's illegitimate status. The three blue lions and gold field reference Cambrai and the Cambrésis. We are grateful to Dr. Lorne Campbell his assistance with cataloguing this painting, and for suggesting that the panel probably originally formed the left wing of a half-length diptych, and that it is likely based on a lost original by Rogier of c. 1460. Dendrochronological analysis of the oak panel by Professor Peter Klein of Hamburg University has revealed that the earliest date of the painting could be 1503. However it is more probable that the panel was used after 1513 (written communication, 5 November 2014).

31 May Back on the Road Again
It's time for Mario Kart again! I've been waiting for Mario Kart 8 for ages now, and finally yesterday was the release day. Of course we had to get the Limited Edition with a blue shell figurine XD. Here you can see the box. I couldn't wait to open it!
And here's the game and the blue shell. I does look a bit intimidating, doesn't it?
I think it's a really cool item. It matches our Mario figure collection perfectly!
The Mario Kart games are on my top list of longest or most played games, together with Final Fantasy XI, Borderlands 2 and Secret of Mana, I think *lol*. It all started back with Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. We played it for hours and the best think about it was he battle mode of course. And we invented our own battle mode: Mario mit Häusern "Mario Kart with houses" XD. Let me explain: Everyone will take one zone marked by a certain color as their house. The rules where easy: Direct combat wasn't allowed, so red shells had to be shot against a wall, green shells had to be shot to the middle. You have to drive around in your "house" and could only protect yourself by evading or placing banana shell in strategic good positions. We played this for hours…. Just don't ask, it was fun as hell!
But the Mario Kart game we played most has to be Mario Kart Wii. Oh, you can't really imagine how much Mario Kart Wii we played… We unlocked everything at least 3 times: First on our Wii, then on the Wii of my family and then our old Wii died, so we bought a new one and had to unlock everything a third time ^,^°. After we unlocked all courses and drivers we mostly did random 16-course team battles on 150cc or mirror, again and again and again. We also tried out online modus once, but since we had a certain lag most of the time it always seemed like the other drivers where cheating, like driving in places where you normally couldn't be. But while driving with other players online we found the one shortcut on Blätterwald (Maple Treeway) right at the start, which we've never seen before >.<°. I still don't know how we could overlook this for so long…
Mario Kart 7 for 3DS was really nice and entertaining, but I really prefer to play it together with family and friends on the biiiiiig screen. It's just not the same on that tiny screen.
Now let's move on to Mario Kart 8:
Of course I can't say much about it yet, but we already did all Grand Prix on 50cc and the first two on 100cc. I really like most of the new courses, especially the disco zone, where you can see the piranha flowers head banging in colorful spotlight to hip music XD. I think the new courses are quite creative and fun to race. As for the retro courses, they could've chosen some better ones, but I think they're okay. I'm still hoping for some more new and/or retro courses as a DLC, I wouldn't mind more drivers as DLC as well, since some really cool characters like King Boo (which my sister always played), Dry Bones and Birdo are missing ;_;. And of course they can add more cars, wheels and gliders, too.
Maybe you already heard that Nintendo announced the first DLC: A Mercedes-Benz car ^_^°. And then there's also this funny spot for Mercedes featuring a rather strange Mario:
[ credit: mercedesbenzjapan @ youtube ]
I read online that some people complained about how the different cars didn't make any difference in the driving behavior, which in my opinion isn't true at all. I just picked some different wheels for one cup yesterday and it felt totally different. For now I decided on driving with either Koopa, Lakitu or Toadette, use a bike (I never used bikes in Mario Kart Wii!), standard tires and the cloud balloons. The new items are really cool like the boomerang, the hungry piranha plant and the horn.
Well, I'm really happy about the game and can't wait to play some more and unlock the rest of the drivers, car items and the stamps of course XD.
What do you think about Mario Kart? Have you already played Mario Kart 8? What are your favorite courses and drives?
You can still get the Standard, Steelbook or Limited Edition at Amazon.

Program Note
The opera "Thais" was completed in 1893. The premiere was not so well received, and after several years a Massenet revision found greater favor. This is a love story where emotions sway between 'saintly' and 'secular' hopes of the monk Athanael, who strongly wants to convert the courtesan Thais, who lives a life of abandon.
This arrangement consists of four main scenes. The final is the same as the end of the original opera, the reunion of Thais and Athanael. Thais trying to ascend to heaven and Athanael confessing his forbidden love are accompanied by the melody of "Meditation" and the sensual harmonies leading to the work's climax.

Seven Motorcyclists Killed In New Hampshire Crash Given Somber Sendoff By 400 Fellow Riders
A bugle played taps. A reverend blessed bikes with a branch dipped in holy water. A prayer got lodged in a biker's throat.
Start an Emergency & Disaster Management degree at American Military University.
The scene was somber on Sunday as a previously scheduled event, the Blessing of the Bikes, turned into a memorial for seven motorcyclists killed Friday in a collision with a pickup truck.
Instead of the 100 to 200 riders who would usually come to such an event, which is held regularly around the country to offer up prayers for a safe biking season, 400 were there.
The blessing was about an hour from where 10 bikers were hit head-on by the truck, which was towing a disabled flatbed trailer. Three were injured, and the truck burst into flame.
The victims were members of a motorcycle club, the Marine JarHeads comprising U.S. Marines and their spouses, according to the Associated Press. They were aged between 42 and 62.
The pickup driver was identified as 23-year-old Volodoymyr Zhukovskyy, an employee of Springfield, Mass.-based Westfield Transport, according to USA Today. He survived and did not have to be hospitalized. He has not been charged, USA Today said. Authorities are still investigating.
"When they fall, we all fall," said Laura Cardinal, vice president of the Manchester Motorcycle Club to AP. "Those families, they're going to go through a lot now. They have a new world ahead of them."
Cardinal said the riders would support the bereaved families of their biking brethren.
According to a GoFundMe page set up for the victims' families, the group was riding to a charity event when they were hit on a remote rural road in New Hampshire.
The site raised $66,000 of its stated $100,000 goal the first day alone. By Sunday evening the goal had been upped to $700,000 and nearly $300,000 had been pledged.
At the blessing turned memorial service, the Rev. Rich Baillargeon presided. He dipped a branch in holy water to bless the bikes as they filed by him, AP said. He also held a moment of silence and prayer for the victims.
One biker tried to say a prayer but got too choked up to finish, AP said. The mournful bugle notes of taps rang out.
On Friday the veterans at the American Legion hall in Gorham, N.H., where the group was headed, had waited in vain for their friends to arrive.
"We kept waiting for them to show up," said bar owner and Navy veteran Michael Demers to The Boston Globe. "They weren't showing up, and it wasn't making sense."
Soon afterward, the news came. There had been a horrific crash involving the entire group. The veterans and supporters never made it.
"It's amazing," Demers told the Globe. "If they had left 20 seconds earlier or 20 seconds later, they'd all still be here."

Anger Therapist
Kristina Martin, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
In 33544 - Nearby to Brooksville.
Anger seems to be running rampant in society today. If you just can't seem to shake that underlying anger and/or have problems expressing your feelings in a healthy and productive manner, I am here to help. Using Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies we can address not only the behavioral management of anger, but also identifying and modifying the underlying root causes of your anger.
Anger Therapist
Kevin Fleming, Ph.D.
Coach/Change Agent/Consultant
At Home or Private Discreet Intensives
Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger. Contact Grey Matters International, Inc now at email@example.com or 877-606-6161.
Anger Therapist
Jo Shaw, Ph.D
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Available for Online Therapy
I have extensive experience working with anger management. While working in rehab, I provided two groups per week regarding anger management. Anger can be a difficult emotion that can lead to inappropriate verbal and physical outbursts. It can be difficult for parents to deal with when their children are destroying objects or hurting one another, or themselves. Children also tend to copy how parents express anger. I have worked with many parents who are worried about their children becoming verbally aggressive, only to find that they themselves have difficulty expressing anger appropriately. Treatment for anger involves recognizing physical symptoms, thinking, and patterns of behavior.
Anger Therapist

Traditional anger management has a bad rap for a reason. It doesn't work for most people. Effective anger management starts with understanding what is beneath anger. We will develop a toolbox of options that you can tap into when triggered. You don't necessarily need to change. In fact, you are probably just fine as you are. What can change is how you respond the challenges that lead to anger and angry behavior. We will work together to find new ways of responding that lead you to a better outcome, a better result.

A SCHEME to restore and convert former hospital buildings near Frodsham into a luxury housing complex has been given the green light by Vale Royal Borough Council.
Borough planners voted in favour of a planning application by developer PJ Livesey Heritage Homes Northwest to restore the former Cross-ley Hospital East and trans-
form the handsome Grade II-listed Edwardian building into 77 apartments.
The scheme also includes building eight houses and creating 143 car parking spaces on the 33 acre site.
However, final approval of the scheme still rests with Vale Royal's director of planning and building control Richard Ellison.
Before granting planning permission, he has been instructed by the borough council to seek an improved financial package from the developer towards the cost of providing affordable housing in the surrounding area.
The developer's current offer of £500,000 includes £50,000 for highways improvements, £3,000 towards
improving facilities at Kings-wood Bowling Club and the remainder a contribution towards affordable housing.
Crossley is an imposing three-storey building originally built as a TB sanatorium. It has also operated as a mental health and geriatric hospital which closed in 1988 and was last used as a private school.

Watch Your Language
In her review of Thomas Mann's War, by Tobias Boes ("Mann in America," December 22), Elizabeth Powers writes of Thomas Mann's literary career as anticipating "the present global publishing market, which increasingly erases the long-established identification of writers with specific languages and literary traditions." The implication is that when writers "bypass their native publics and market their works to an international readership" in English, they impoverish the culture of their mother tongues.
Another way of looking at this is to argue that these writers were impoverished of a mother tongue to begin with. I, for example, come from an immigrant family, and although I often state on my résumé that Dutch is my native tongue, I feel little connection to that alien language. I feel equally foreign in my other native tongue, Cantonese, of which my vocabulary is limited, and of which the number of words I can read or write is: zero. Growing up as a child in an immigrant family, but without having the status of an immigrant yourself, often means that people assume you somehow pick up the language of both your family and your residential country naturally. This is far from the truth. At least in my experience, English was the first language that was taught to me properly and that I felt I could understand properly. Through engagement with literature and TV shows in English, I gradually became more at home in that language.
So I imagine that many writers bypassing their mother tongue are not "bypassing" anything; they're writing in that language that they feel is truly theirs, that can express their thoughts and feelings best. This sentiment of being unable to write for the place one was born in and in the language one is supposed to be fluent in is for many the drive and obsession in writing — albeit in another language and for another public.
Trent Lee
The Netherlands
Elizabeth Powers responds: There are so many issues that this letter raises — thank you very much! — that I regret that I cannot respond at length. Yes, immigrants today are often linguistically rootless, "impoverished of a mother tongue," as Mr. Lee writes, and what he says concerning his experience with English literature and TV confirms that English is becoming the universal language par excellence. This means that a great many people in the world today, aside from native English speakers, are bilingual. While many such bilingual speakers live in countries possessing a long literary tradition on which they can draw (such as the Germany in which Thomas Mann came of age), many choose to write in English. I speak not so much of Europeans — French, Italians, Germans, Dutch, and so on, who still enjoy large native reading publics — but of non-Westerners. Salman Rushdie's mother tongue, for instance, is Urdu, spoken today by 100 million people, mostly in Pakistan, which has its own classical canon, mostly in drama and poetry, reaching back to the 14th century. For Rushdie and many others, however, English as well as the novel (increasingly the universal literary genre) are the vessels in which their feelings and thoughts are best expressed. Languages transmit a history of truth and also fiction, of knowledge and invention, that will cease if languages with a rich literary legacy become, like Latin, dead because no one writes in them anymore.

News in Brief
Chicago's Bond Rating Takes Another Hit
Financial analysts at one Wall Street rating agency last week dropped the Chicago school district's credit rating again, less than a week before the district was expected to sell hundreds of millions of dollars in long-term bonds.
Standard & Poor's pushed the school system's bond rating one notch deeper into junk territory—to the agency's B grade—and said the decision was based on what are by now familiar financial concerns.
Those include the district's reliance on short-term borrowing to cover daily expenses, plus $55 million in costs added to this year's budget by the recent Chicago Teachers Union pact.
