And So, It Goes

Space Between

I am putting on a brave face, but inside I am grief stricken.

It is a very conscious choice to not label myself a failure, and in many moments the voice that claims that I am speaks louder than the one that knows that I am not.

There is so much about my current situation that I am wrestling with.

I do not want to be in this location, my hometown.

In attempt to escape, there’s a tremendous amount of pressure upon myself to manifest a source of income, yet my confusion as to what it is exactly that I want to be doing with my days is like a fog over my mind.

I am thoroughly distraught to be separated from the people with whom relationships started to bud over the summer, worried that a hundred and fifty miles of distance will prove too inconvenient to tend to their growth, yet knowing that if they’re meant to survive love always finds a way.

“Be patient,” I tell myself.

“Be kind,” I tell myself.

“You’re doing the best you can,” I tell myself.

“It’s quite okay if you don’t know all the answers today,” I tell myself.

And so, it goes.

I’m Leaving NYC

It’s official.

I am moving.

I am leaving New York City, the place I have called home for the past six years.

I am embracing my word of the year, release, as fully as I possibly can.

I am simultaneously excited for the new adventures awaiting me, and feeling like my heart is being slowly ripped out of my chest with every box I pack.

This move has been in the making for a little over a month.

I just hesitated to say too much publicly because of the nebulous nature of my plans.

Heck, my plans are really no less nebulous than they were when the plan was first conceived of, but now I’m actually taking action so… here I am, saying something about it.

Where am I going?

I’m bound for coastal Maine, provided the necessary resources for housing and transportation fall into place.

If they don’t, I’ll be forming a Plan B from my parents porch in New Hampshire.

I’m keeping my options open.

Where I ultimately settle in the end is a huge mystery to me.

I’m embracing that mystery and refusing to let it shake me.

I am releasing my need to control the outcome.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a badass summer.

Tarot wise, I’m taking a temporary step back from doing written readings, and will be evaluating how those factor into my offerings in the future once I’m settled in my new place.

However, I’m still available for Skype/phone readings, so if you’d like to schedule one for this week please do! My capacity may be limited as I get further into the month, so the sooner the better!

On Being Ambivalently Woo Woo

I am a big fan of the woo woo.

I collect books on spirituality.

My YouTube subscriptions and my feed reader are full of people talking about Tarot, spells, spirituality, and woo.

I read Tarot, Lenormand, and Oracle cards.

I do yoga and meditate.

I carry around crystals in my pockets and sleep with them under my pillow.

I smudge my house with palo santo and sage.

I read synchronicities like divine signs from the universe.

I love circles of people openly sharing the things they’ve experienced, even if they’re “out there”.

I’m fascinated by insights of people who call themselves psychics and mediums.

I delight in all things magic, from ritual to sleight of hand.

I talk to spirit guides who are sourced from pop culture, historical figures, and a magician I used to live with.

I am a seeker and a modern mystic.

I’m also quite often feel like I must be the most ambivalent person on the planet when it comes to my passion for the woo.

One day, I feel it… My connection to the universe, the greater purpose and plan, embodied in my senses, feeling the joy of being alive, connecting with other people meaningfully and deeply…

Then, the next day I’m just like… fuck this nonsense it’s all bullshit.

It often comes for me at the point of over saturation.

The woo space is crowded, and my woo is not necessarily your woo or the lady down the street’s woo.

We might have the woo part in common, we might share a common language, but everyone’s expression of such is incredibly different.

This is because ultimately, woo is about creativity, and just like in art… no artist is exactly alike. Everyone has their own perspective, their own take on things, their own opinion, their own interpretation.

It’s tempting to take other’s opinions and interpretations on as our own, without examining whether or not what they say is actually true for us.

The more voices we consume, the harder it is to hear our own… at least, I find.

I worry too much about getting it “right” rather than just staying true to my own experience.

I get shaken when strong personalities insist that there’s only one right way to shuffle a deck of cards.

So, I take a step back and surrender to how I feel.

It’s okay not to be woo woo round the clock.

It’s okay to love it one day and think it’s a crock of shit the next.

Ambivalence is healthy.

I think it keeps us honest.

The Midweek Messages Reading – March 17, 2016

Midweek Messages - March 17, 2016

Welcome to the Midweek Messages reading! This is just a slightly rebranded version of my weekly outlook readings. It was such a struggle to get them up at the beginning of each week, so I decided to move them to the middle of the week which works for me SO much better. The content is pretty much the same format, but I’ve changed the feature title… So, that’s what’s up!

If you’re interested in scheduling a Skype reading this week, shoot me a message via my contact form to request one, and I’ll get back to you to schedule it. It’s $45 for an hour long session still!

If a written reading is a little more your style, pop on over to the shop and grab one.

Thanks so much for your continued support!

And without further ado, the reading for this week:

If It’s Not Working, Tear It Down

The Tower from Tarot of the Sweet Twilight

The Tower from Tarot of the Sweet Twilight

In case you’re not aware of it, I post a daily card (well, almost daily) to my Instagram account accompanied by a short interpretation to serve as food for thought of the day.

The intention I bring to this practice is to draw a card that is going to assist in centering my day, and I choose to share it on Instagram for anyone who might be needing a similar message for today, and just trust that whoever needs to see it will see it.

Today’s card, The Tower and message that came along with it felt particularly striking to me, so I wanted to share it here on my blog as well, and expand upon it a bit:

The way you’ve been doing things is not working. A dramatic shift in your approach is necessary to move forward. It might feel like you’re burning everything down that you’ve been working towards, but remember that it’s all an experiment. If it’s not working, it’s okay to change it! Don’t let the fear of others judgments, nor the judgements of your own to hold you back.

This was message was so at the heart of everything I was finding myself struggling with the past couple of weeks when it’s come to the the energy that I’m putting into my blog, my YouTube videos, etc.

I hit this point where it was very clear how I’d been approaching things wasn’t working for me. I’d created a schedule for myself and these arbitrary rules that certain types of posts could only go live on certain days, and certain things must be done certain ways or else I was Doing It Wrong.

I very quickly felt stifled by all the rules that I was imposing upon myself.

As much as some online creators might thrive on schedules and deadlines, I’ve never been one of them.

The minute I say that there’s going to be a series of something on Monday, you can bet that I’ll make two or three of them and then abandon the series because that’s just not how my process works.

I’m very go with the flow.

I write what I feel in the moment.

I prefer to create things as my intuition leads me to.

It’s the way *I* work, and I need to stop trying to impose other people’s opinions of the right way to do things upon myself, especially when those things aren’t working for me.

So, don’t mind the dust and the utter lack of expectations or plans around here… Just enjoy the ride.

The Weekly Forecast for February 29 – March 6

Weekly Forecast February 29 - March 6

Here it is, the middle of the week and the Weekly Forecast video is just going up.

It’s been one of those lessons in balancing divine timing and wanting to control a release schedule. Sometimes, you just have to let it go and let divine timing work itself out.

Here’s the thing. Often times as people who are posting things on the Internet we get really hung up on our own timing. With good reason, too. Stuff is statistically more likely to get seen on the days when people expect to see it.

If you like my outlook videos and you read my blog, chances are you’re going to bounce over to check it on Monday to see if the outlook is up (or you’re going to check one of my social media channels…) and if it’s not there, you might forget about it.

Or you might not.

It’s hard to tell in this age of social media.

So, despite the fact that’s tempting to skip doing things when they’re late on my schedule, that’s why I’m doing it anyway even if it’s a few days late. Plus, just because these videos have the dates of the week they’re created on doesn’t mean that the messages within expire when the week ends. The intention of the videos are to inspire no matter when you view them, so really… the dates don’t matter all that much except for my internal housekeeping.

So, one of the messages for this week specifically for the content creators in my audience… Yes, it’s nice to have a schedule to keep yourself accountable, but forgive yourself and do it anyway when you miss a day. The world needs your voice irregardless of whether or not you think you should have said it two days ago.

In other news, I’m going to be introducing Skype readings to my offerings very very soon. While I don’t have a listing up on the website yet, I wanted to offer you all a preliminary offering of an hour reading for $45. If you’re interested, please leave me a comment or reach out to me via my contact form and we can schedule that up. The price is going to go up once the official offering is posted, so now’s a great time to jump on this!

And onto the video…

How Can I Help?

This magnificient feast represents the last of the petty cash.- - Dr. Ray Stantz, Ghostbusters

This evening I found myself digging through every old purse that was hanging on the back of my bedroom door. I was looking any loose change that might have been forgotten about.

I don’t know how much I found. I’m guessing $10, maybe $15? No more than $20.

In truth, I’m afraid to count it.

I don’t really want to know how poor I am right now.

When I was done I counted out $12 worth of quarters and went to the grocery store.

I bought a bag of cat food which will last about a week, and felt thankful that there was a new brand of cat food that was a dollar less than what I’d been buying.

I bought a two dollar cut of beef so I could have a little protein to eat.

It came out to a little over $7, and I counted the quarters out onto the conveyer belt and smiled at the woman behind the register while I swalllowed my shame.

I’m certain I am probably not the first person who bought my groceries in quarters today.

I don’t live in a wealthy neighborhood.

I found myself quoting Ghostbusters to myself as I sat down to eat what I bought, “This magnificent feast represents the last of the petty cash.”

Not exactly true, but pretty close.

There’s less than zero dollars in my bank account. I owe money for stuff.

No expense that I have is more important than food right now.

Eating is my priority.

I’m avoiding leaving the neighborhood unless there’s food or money to be had at my destination. The cost of leaving the neighborhood and coming back is $5.50.

I’m in that grace period before things start getting cut off for non-payment.

If a job doesn’t materialize…

If a stream of income doesn’t appear…

If some sort of miracle doesn’t happen…

I guess I’ll be singing Oingo Boingo’s It Only Makes Me Laugh while I fall down the hole and hit the bottom.

Why I am I even telling all of this to you this right now?

Maybe it’s because every once in awhile, you don’t have any other choice but to be honest about where you’re at because sitting alone in silence isn’t going to solve your problems.

Writing publicly about it might not either, but there’s always the hope that someone will see it who can help, or someone will see it and it will bring them comfort when they realize that they’re not alone.

Telling your story, even if it isn’t pretty or particularly uplifting is an empowering act.

Tonight, I find myself reflecting on the past few months.

They have been difficult.

I don’t regret giving myself the time and the space to figure my next moves, although I’m not sure it was the most fiscally responsible decision I could have made.

I still don’t feel like I have it figured out.

Maybe I won’t ever.

When it comes to my career, I feel like I contain multitudes.

I’m a Tarot reader. I’m a writer. I’m a storyteller. I’m a web developer.

I might be other things that I don’t have names for yet.

Often, I feel like these identities clash with each other, and I don’t always know how to talk about them in a way that feels cohesive.

I do know one thing though.

What I want to feel at the end of the day is that I was able to help somebody, that I was able to make a positive difference in their life.

It’s what I strive for irregardless of what modality that I might be working in today.

Which leads me to ask this question of you…

How can I help?

More than anything right now, I desire to be helpful.

That might be by reading Tarot cards for you, and there are currently a couple of options for that.

There’s always my Tarot shop on Etsy where you can order a written reading, but I’ve got a gig up on Fivrr as well, which is admittedly a little bit cheaper because of the way that site happens to structure their payments.

However, Tarot… while generally the main focus of this site… isn’t all that I’m capable of being helpful with.

Web development and consulting. I’ve got ten years of front end web development experience under my belt. I’m an expert with WordPress and Drupal. I can write CSS in my sleep. I’m pretty adept at recommending tools to get what you need done. I’m available for consulting, subcontracting, development, and I wouldn’t rule out taking a full time gig either. If you’ve got needs or leads in this department, please reach out. I’m happy to lend my expertise for hourly consultations for technical questions and strategy to doing development work.

Virtual Assistant services. I’m a writer and storyteller with 19 years of blogging experience under my belt (it wasn’t even called blogging when I started). I can manage your social media, create your landing pages, handle scheduling, and more. I’m adept at figuring any tool you can throw at me.

So, if you or anybody you know are looking for somebody either virtually or NYC based for this kind of work. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

The Weekly Forecast for February 22 – 28

The Weekly Forecast with Nikkiana for February 22 - 28

Oof! I had a week last week that knocked me positively sideways. Sometimes that’s just the way the world is and you’ve got no choice but to roll with it. After an unexpected leave of absence last week, I’m back with the weekly forecast today.

If you’re looking to get a reading this week, I’m wide open so head on over to the tarot shop. Love and light to you!

Here, There, and Elsewhere – Life’s Hard, but Be Thankful

James and the Patch Bay Wire Mess (At Least it's Not the Hadron Collider)

So, I’m introducing yet another series of blog posts… Here, There, and Elsewhere. These posts will be most likely be appearing on Saturdays (I’m just barely squeaking it in this week), and will include some personal anecdotes about my week and what’s going on in my life, as well as links to some other interesting stuff I found while browsing around the Internet that you might find of interest.

So… yeah.

I won’t bullshit. I’ve been a little bit of a funk since my birthday passed at the end of January.

As much as I’m loathe to admit it so publicly, I suspect it might have something to do with the state of my bank account (aka Decidedly Not Good).

When you’re prioritizing every penny to make sure you’re fed today, it’s not a fun feeling.

The worry can be so all consuming and draining that it prevents you from taking the steps that you need to take to change the situation.

However, having pockets lined with lint instead of silver dollars does bring a greater sense of what’s important in life though. It triggers you to count your blessings in the places where you might otherwise take for granted.

Even though it’s hard right now, I have faith it’ll get better.

One of the highlights of the week was spending two days working with James to help him take a massive step forward with setting up his recording gear. It was a long tedious process, but we managed to accomplish a comprehensive assessment of what changes need to be made on each of his four patch bays.

For those of you not familiar, they’re basically things with holes to patch wires into that have ninety-six wires coming out of the back end of them that go to various devices. Our project was to make sure the connectors at the end of each of those wires were the right ones to go to the devices they need to attach to. Multiply this times four… so a grand total of 396 wires that needed to be checked and then documented if they need changed.

The running joke has been at least it’s not the Hadron Collider.

Remember what I was saying in my outlook video about fighting despondence with action? James definitely brought it in the taking action department this week. High five, man! (Also, the kittens thank you for the cat food.)

The other big highlight for the week was going out to see my dear friend Karl play last night. Always a delight.

Enjoy this video of him at his show over at Rockwood a few weeks ago:

In France, A Quiet Hero Belatedly Comes to Light. The story of a security guard working at Bataclan who went back into the venue to lead people trapped inside to safety. Given how many friends I have here in New York who work in venues not dissimilar to Bataclan, I was in tears by the end of this.

New Moon in Aquarius Reading

When I came across the new moon spread that Ethony published on her Instagram feed, I felt led to try it out and publish the reading that I gave to myself on my blog.

My intention for doing this is both to give you some insight into my process when I read, as well as a fun way to get to know me and where I’m at in my life, and of course… if you happen to take a message away from this reading for yourself, that’s an added bonus!

I’m using the Tarot of the Sweet Twilight* by Cristina Benintende in this reading.

New Moon in Aquarius Reading

1. Moon Energies – what energies are abundant for me during this new moon phase?

Six of Wands, Reversed.

The Six of Wands is a card that indicates that you’ve accomplished something big, and it’s time to let it go and let it fly. However, since it’s appearing in my reading as reversed,  it says to me that something’s going on that’s holding me back from reaching that sense of accomplishment.  Perhaps it’s a fear of being seen, or a fear that I’m going to fail at a time when failure is going to result in some pretty ominous consequences.

This new moon phase is going to be all about doing the shadow work around releasing the fears that are preventing me from showing up in the world as I want to be seen and doing the work that I want to be doing with others… Whether that be Tarot, teaching, or advising about technological solutions.

2. Energy Assist – what can I do to aid or ease it?

Seven of Pentacles

There’s an energy of taking a step back about the Seven of Pentacles to see what’s working and what isn’t, which strikes me as important because it’s best not to waste energy on things that are obviously not working, but something struck me really strongly about this card. The image from this deck depicts a seven piece band, which says to me that finding ways that you can collaborate with people who share similar goals is an important piece of my work this month.  It’s not a time to hesitate about reaching out to people that I perceive as being able to help or advise, the worst case scenario is that they’ll say no so there’s really nothing to lose.

3. Goals – what goals or challenges should I set for this moon phase?

Three of Swords.

The Three of Swords is saying to me to not sacrifice your happiness for the needs of others, and that I need to be very careful with where I’m spending my energy this month.

As an empath and intuitive, it’s sometimes too easy for me to get tangled up in the trials and tribulations in the lives of loved ones, and while it’s good to be a supportive friend and be there for people in their time of need, I have to take care of myself and my needs first.

The challenge for the month is all about setting firm but loving boundaries with people in my life to prevent feelings of resentment and to not get overly involved in others drama.

4. Drift – what do I need to let go of from the last moon phase?

The Chariot

The Chariot is a card that’s all about control.  Often times in a reading, it’s about the need to take control. However, since it showed up in the position of what needs to be let go, this card is all about the need to release the need to control everything and trust that things are going to work out as they’re meant to.

It’s not saying that I should go crawl up into bed and pull the covers up over my head and assume that everything’s going to work out for the best.  It doesn’t work that way.  What it is saying is to keep doing the things that ARE within my control. Keep showing up, keep putting myself out there, and shining my light because those are the things that are going to cause my life to be what I want it to be.

5. Advice – what advice do my spirit guides have for me for this moon phase?

8 of Pentacles

Keep working and experimenting. Nothing is ever going to be absolutely perfect, but as long as I’m trying and putting myself out there everyday, I’ll continue to grow and evolve.  Transparency with that growth is what’s going to draw people into my circle and want to learn from the things that I know.

Her credentials shine, resume needs polish

Tanya Batallas/The Star-Ledger By Tanya Batallas/The Star-Ledger The Star-Ledger
Follow on Twitter
on May 07, 2009 at 3:19 PM, updated May 07, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Catherine Rupnow of Jersey City

Catherine Rupnow recently worked as the director of social services for a nursing home. These days, she is an administrative assistant at her local library, where she also coordinates literacy programs.

Through her outreach work at the library, the Jersey City resident works with ex-prisoners and she feels she has found her calling.

She is seeking full-time work as a counselor to convicts or ex-convicts.

View this candidate's full resume.

What I do outside work: Volunteer work, camping, hiking and reading history books.

Person I most admire: My father. He came to the U.S. from the Philippines with nothing and worked very hard to achieve the American dream. He owns his house and some other properties, gives back to his community and extended family and funded a college education for me and my two siblings.

Favorite New Jersey spot: The fishing pier off the Jersey Shore's Ocean Grove, where my husband proposed to me.

Why you should hire me, in 25 words or less: I will apply all my strengths, skills and resources in order that you will never see that convict re-enter your prison or parolee program.

2003-present: Jersey City Public Library. Administrative assistant and literacy teacher in charge of conducting family literacy programs. Also, teach computer literacy, language arts and resume building to ex-prisoners.

2007-2008: Rahway Geriatrics Center. Director of Social Services who maintained documentation of social service activity as required by local, state, and federal rules and regulations.

Showing compassion and sensitivity to clients, excellent communication skills, respectful team player, multitasking, detail-oriented.

Having my nursing home clients and their families rave that I was best social worker they ever worked with. My "fans" said I was reliable, responsible, kind and that I always gave attention to them no matter how busy I was.

Rutgers University School of Social Work
New Brunswick, N.J.

Elizabeth Feehan, freelance career consultant in Boonton (e.feehan@verizon.net)

Catherine has the right credentials for a position as a social worker. She has, however, targeted a very specific audience with which to work, namely prisoners or ex-prisoners. By opening her search to broader targets, she increases her odds of landing an attractive opportunity.

Catherine's one-page resume starts out perfectly -- at the very top of the page she establishes her credentials by noting both her social work graduate degree and licensure after her name. Unfortunately, as early as the Career Objective, the document lacks the spark that will encourage a reader to pick up the phone to invite her for an interview.

• If Catherine has not already done so, she should complete a thorough self-assessment to identify skills, talents, personal traits, accomplishments and career milestones. It's key that the assessment be in writing. Integrating this information into the resume ensures a strong and accurate marketing document. In addition, this self-assessment exercise is preparation for interviewing.

• Replace the Career Objective with a Profile that guides the reader into identifying and understanding the value she will bring to a new position (e.g. experience with diverse audiences, including former prisoners, mentally ill patients, geriatric clients and their families). The profile should identify specific clinical skills as well as other strengths she offers.

Entire Bridgeton community must connect, says church leader

FAIRFIELD TWP. — Bishop David Hadley has been part of the Bridgeton community all his life.

He was ordained as a minister at Glory Tabernacle on Buckshutem Road in June 1995.

Pastor Hadley became officially installed as the pastor of Glory Tabernacle on Sept. 21, 2003.

A week ago, he was asked to talk about his community.

“Just put the money out there where it’s going to work,’’ he began. “I know the boxing program is working.

“Churches in the area have programs.

“That’s where we have to put the money without going through all the hoopla.’’

But who’s keeping score?

Tri City HOPE is doing one thing to help people.

Revive South Jersey is starting day camps.

“You need the financing to make it happen,’’ said Hadley. “Everybody needs to do it. You can’t grant your way out of things.

“Everybody has to work together.’’

How do we do that?

“I think the mayor is trying to bring people together.

“People don’t come together because they think we don’t all have the same things in common.

“We do.

“Crime is a problem in everybody’s neighborhood.

“We have to go get them. You have to go out in the community.

Hadley doesn’t need accolades.

“I don’t have to be the lead person,’’ he said. “But, if you’re going to have a program that works, I’ll help, too.

He says the ministerium is working.

“The leaders are coming together and doing things collectively,’’ he said. “It won’t happen overnight.’’

It meets once a month.

Specific hope?

“It looks better than what you see,’’ he said after a moment.

“Until the leaders come together, the people will never come together.’’

“As long as you have separation, you’re never going to get anything out of it.

“Not just youth. The people.

He points to this past Easter Sunday when churches of all faith came together.

“It’s the adults that have the problem, not the kids.

“The kids go to school together and they play together.’’

But the dropout rate is high.

“It’s a parent thing,’’ he said. “When I went to school, everybody went to school, no ifs and or buts.

“Everybody has a part to play in it.

“The church, parents, the community leaders.

“It’s not going to work until everybody plays a part.

Bishop Hadley grew up on Maple Drive in the Second Ward where Maple Gardens is a low-income apartment complex with problems.

How do we fix it?

“The ministers are willing to go in, but it’s going to take the people living in the community to make a change, too,’’ he said..

“You can’t get around it; everybody has to help.

“Gang members can come to my church, as long as they don’t do anything illegal.

“Somebody took a radio out of my car and 20 people were standing around and nobody saw anything.

“Finally, a little girl came out of the crowd and said, ‘Mister, he went over there.’

“And that’s what it’s going to take.

“If my neighbor is breaking into houses, I’m going to tell, because, sooner or later, he’s going to be breaking into my house.’’

Hadley had T-shirts printed up with SNITCH standing for Supply Needed Information That Can Help.

“Life is important and our young people’s lives are more important than anything, and we have to give them the opportunity,’’ he said.

“Those that have the ability, we should send to college.

Bishop Hadley remembers vividly what his daughter was told when her family had three children in college at the same time and she was trying to get funds.

“Go get pregnant and we’ll give you the money to go to school.’’

Hadley shook his head.

“We’ve got it all backward.’’

Disgraced DPW official's son: Workers painted ceiling in WNY office as part of 'agreement'

West New York Commissioner Count Wiley has stayed clear of the DPW scandal that ensnared his father, former North Bergen Department of Public Works superintendent James Wiley -- until today.

During a press conference held at North Bergen Concerned Citizen's Group (NBCCG) headquarters today, attorney Mario Blanch showed a letter signed by two West New York DPW workers who state they saw several North Bergen DPW workers painting Commissioner Wiley's Town Hall office.

"When we asked them who they were and what company they worked for, they said that they worked for the North Bergen Department of Public Works," said the two workers in a release.

Commissioner Wiley admitted the workers did paint a ceiling in his office, but claims it was part of a informal "shared services agreement."

wiley.JPGWest New York Commissioner Count Wiley complains about being reassigned to the Department of Parks and Recreation during recent meeting.

"We bought all the supplies and borrowed a paint gun, but at the time didn't have employees who knew how to use it," Count Wiley said. "This wasn't done on private property, this was town-to-town business."

Along these lines, Count Wiley said the county lent the town a tree shredder last year.

Paul Swibinski, North Bergen township spokesman, said while he could not comment on this specific case, that "I can confirm that it is not unusual for North Bergen and towns in the area to share some equipment or services."

Count Wiley has not been charged with any wrongdoing. His father, James Wiley was indicted last month for conspiracy to commit official misconduct. Two North Bergen DPW supervisors were also charged with numerous offenses including conspiracy, official misconduct and theft by unlawful taking in an ongoing investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office.

James Wiley admitted using North Bergen DPW workers to work on his house and do work on political campaigns.

Overseas stocks bounce back after Wall Street rally

The Associated Press By The Associated Press The Associated Press
on July 14, 2009 at 4:51 AM, updated July 29, 2009 at 4:35 PM

Asian markets sprang back to life today, invigorated by fresh hopes for improved bank earnings and signs the regional economy is recovering. European shares were moderately higher.

Women walk past an electronic stock indicator of a securities firm in Tokyo.

The upbeat mood permeated Asia, with financial stocks leading the gains. Oil climbed back above $60 a barrel after dropping sharply over the past week on concerns about weak global growth.

Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average snapped a nine-day losing streak to gain 211.48 points, or 2.3 percent, to 9,261.81, erasing most of the previous day's decline. Hong Kong's Hang Seng vaulted 631.10, or 3.7 percent, to 17,885.73 and Australia's key index leapt 3.5 percent.

Encouraging economic news propelled Singapore's main index up 1.9 percent. The island's export-dependent economy grew for the first time in a year in the second quarter, according to preliminary figures, suggesting the region is emerging from the global slump.

Singapore's Trade and Industry Ministry said it now expects the economy to shrink between 4 percent and 6 percent this year, better than its previous forecast of a contraction between 6 percent and 9 percent.

The figures added to optimism following a strong showing overnight in New York, where the Dow Jones industrials jumped more than 2 percent.

Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi gained 0.5 percent and China's Shanghai index was up 2.1 percent. As trading got underway in Europe, Germany's DAX was up 0.8 percent, Britain's FSTE 100 gained 0.7 percent and France's CAC 40 rose 0.4 percent.

Forty-three-year-old James Hoback entered the plea to a charge of illegally transporting explosives today in Charleston. U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston scheduled Hoback's sentencing for March 8.

Talotta and Hoback are among 55 Pagans members and associates from West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida charged in the case.

Johnston also scheduled a guilty plea hearing for 34-year-old Vincent "Vin Dog" Talotta, of Philadelphia, for Dec. 10. Talotta is charged with traveling to West Virginia to distribute proceeds of an illegal raffle to national club leaders.

Hoback is the latest in a string of defendants to plead guilty in the case.

0321waynehills.jpgThe Wayne school board meets last year to discuss nine Wayne Hills High School football players charged with aggravated assault. Seven of the nine were sentenced to probation.

Seven high school football players in Passaic County who were suspended from a state championship game have been sentenced to probation for charges stemming from the beating of two teens. The members of the Wayne Hills High School football team were charged with aggravated assault after two Wayne Valley High School students were beaten after a Halloween party last year. Each of the seven players pleaded guilty to simple assault in order to be allowed to enter a juvenile probation program, after which the charges could be expunged or erased. Charges against one player were dismissed and a ninth was placed in an adult probation program. users are discussing the sentencing of the seven teens. user karen1109 writes:

This is pretty outrageous. They left those kids in the street after they were done beating them, and apparently at least one of their victims was in extreme danger of being hit by a car because of the depraved indifference to life exhibited by their attackers. It makes me sick that they are basically getting a slap on the wrist for this. They are a danger to society and should be treated as such.

Rothman calls himself 'the Democrats' Democrat' as he heads to polls

Richard Khavkine/The Star-Ledger By Richard Khavkine/The Star-Ledger The Star-Ledger
on June 05, 2012 at 10:03 AM, updated June 05, 2012 at 5:15 PM

ENGLEWOOD — U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman arrived at an Englewood polling station this morning to vote himself to a ninth term in Congress — and vote out his congressman colleague, U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell.

Although both are running as incumbents in today’s primary, just one will continue as an elected official because the state’s 9th congressional district — which includes parts of Bergen, Passaic and Hudson counties — was reconfigured following the 2010 Census and the state lost one congressional seat.

Although Rothman said he was "unhappy" that the reconfigured district pitted him against his friend and political ally, he drew out differences between himself and Pascrell, notably on a woman's right to choose, which he said Pascrell had undercut and that he supported during their years in Congress.

Rothman called himself "the Democrats' Democrat," noting his support from President Obama.

But he said, "I'm a loyal Democrat and will support the winner of this primary," which polls suggest will be close.

Both eight-term congressmen, each first elected to Congress in 1996, have spent heavily to back up what are nearly similar voting records.

The winner of today’s primary in the heavily Democratic district is virtually assured of returning to Washington, D.C. for a ninth term following fall’s general election.

Eva Kahn, a 40-year resident of Englewood who lives in the same apartment complex as Rothman said she has voted for Rothman since his days as mayor in this city and did so again today, mostly because of the congressman's support of progressive policies.

But she lamented the newly configured district, pitting incumbent Democrat against incumbent Democrat.

"I thought I would vote for what I know," Kahn said.

We must invert tax inversion: Opinion

We should not let companies play one country off the next, bidding down the percent of corporate profits they are willing to accept.

By Steven Pressman

No one likes paying taxes. We would rather just pass them on to others, as in the children's game hot potato.

The "passing" fad in the world of corporate tax evasion is known as tax inversion.

It occurs when a U.S. company is acquired by a company overseas, becoming a foreign firm. The company thereby escapes paying taxes to the federal government on profits earned outside the U.S. It still pays taxes on profits earned inside the U.S.; however, multinationals have become adept at booking profits to countries having the lowest tax rate.

While the country of incorporation changes, little else changes with inversion. Jobs do not move abroad. Production facilities and company headquarters stay put.

The growth of this corporate tax dodge stems partly from the reduced moral stigma as more firms use it.

There are also economic factors at work. Senior executives know that when corporate taxes fall, after-tax profits rise. This will increase their pay and the value of the company stock they own. In addition, senior executives know that if they won't engage in tax inversion, new management will be brought in to exploit this loophole.

The congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the federal government will lose $2 billion this year from inversions, requiring spending cuts or government borrowing (maybe from the same corporations that just got $2 billion in tax breaks).

State governments - especially New Jersey, which has one of the highest state corporate income tax rates in the nation at 9 percent - also stand to lose significant tax revenue.

Another problem with tax inversion concerns winners and losers. The winners are people owning the stock of these companies. These are typically the wealthiest Americans. The losers are average citizens and small businesses, forced to pay higher taxes or see cuts in government programs that benefit them.

We should not let companies play one country off the next, bidding down the percent of corporate profits they are willing to accept. This is a race to the bottom that no country can win. President Obama agrees and has proposed two half-baked policies in an attempt to halt tax inversion.

First, he wants companies that are owned by a majority of Americans and that do substantial business in the U.S. to be counted as a U.S. corporation for tax purposes.

Second, he wants to limit interest deductions for companies that become U.S. subsidiaries through inversion. This is one popular way corporate profits can be booked abroad. The U.S. subsidiary borrows money from its foreign parent and pays it interest, lowering its U.S. profits and taxes. The interest on the loan gets booked as profit abroad, where rates are lower.

The problem with both solutions is that corporations will soon figure out how to circumvent them - by purchasing foreign companies so that they are not owned mainly by Americans and by finding other ways to book their profits outside the U.S.

Until a real international solution is found, the U.S. should take a first step by taxing corporate profits based not on where they are earned, but on company payroll.
For example, if Actavis - a New Jersey company that recently became Irish through inversion - makes $4 billion in profits, and half its wages are paid to U.S. workers, it gets taxed on $2 billion, regardless of where the company claims to have made its profits.

The same approach can work at the state level, where some progress has already been made. Twenty-four states have adopted combined reporting as a means of combating corporate tax avoidance.

It requires that parent firm and subsidiary profits be added (dare I say "mashed" together for corporate income tax purposes. Profits get allocated to each state based on economic activity in the state rather than profits reported by the corporation.

With combined reporting, corporations can no longer escape corporate taxes by shifting profits to a low-tax state in the group. This has increased state corporate income tax collections by 10 to 25 percent according to most estimates.

Inexplicably, New Jersey does not participate in combined reporting. This should become a priority tax reform, especially given large project state budget deficits.
Going further, worldwide combined reporting should become an international priority.

Former A.C. mayor dies

Jim Six By Jim Six South Jersey Newspapers
Email the author | Follow on Twitter
on January 04, 2008 at 8:32 AM, updated January 04, 2008 at 11:00 AM

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Joseph Lazarow, who was mayor of Atlantic City when casino gambling first began here, and who broke the world record for handshaking, died Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla. He was 84.

His daughter told The Press of Atlantic City that Lazarow had suffered a long illness, but would not say what it was.

He became mayor in 1976, and served until 1982, a term that included the opening of the first casino in Atlantic City in 1978.

"He really was an old-school gentleman, and somewhat of an anomaly in Atlantic City politics, because he was so low-key," state Sen.-elect James Whelan, a former Atlantic City mayor, told the newspaper for Friday's editions. "Unlike a lot of the rest of us, who tend to make a lot of noise both as mayor and as an individual, he was always reserved and understated ... and soft-spoken."

In July 1977, he broke a world record for shaking hands -- 8,514 times, which broke Teddy Roosevelt's 1901 record of 8,513 handshakes, as reported by the Guinness Book of World Records.

After Lazarow set the record on the Boardwalk, he got into a motorcycle sidecar and drove throughout the city to shake still more hands. Before quitting that night, he reportedly had shaken more than 11,000 hands, the newspaper reported.

Spring attempting to take hold in N.J. but winter-like conditions expected to stubbornly stick around

accu-cold.jpg Cold is once again expected to expand across the United States this week.
Spring is showing signs of wresting control of the weather in New Jersey, but winter is stubbornly putting up a fight.

While temperatures in the Garden State could approach 60 degrees through Easter Sunday and the start of the work week, a cold front is expected to push across the state Monday and temperatures are expected to plunge into the low 30s as showers – that may even mix with snow – push across the region.

“We have some colder weather coming in for the beginning of the week. Highs will fall well below normal,” said Mitchell Gaines, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. “The Poconos and northwestern New Jersey have the best chance of seeing some snow mix in with rain on Monday night.”

With the passage of the cold front, temperatures are expected to struggle to get out of the low-to-mid 40s on Tuesday.

A stubborn high pressure system sitting over the Arctic has allowed colder than usual temperatures to spill into the United States for weeks, which forecasters say could persist through the beginning of April.

"Thanks to a negative Arctic Oscillation pattern, the threat for wintry conditions across the area will remain for at least the next week or two." said Nicholas Troiano, a long-range forecaster with Hackettstown-based weather firm Weather Works. "That's going to make it tough for spring to really kick in for a while."

April Fools indeed.

If it seems like winter has gone on longer than usual, it has. New Jersey got its first substantial snowfall in early November and since then, 16 other storms have dropped at least two inches of powder on the Garden State, according to the state climatologist’s office.

If temperatures drop as much as expected Monday night, it will mark the sixth month the state has seen winter-like conditions.

There is a glimmer of hope, however, for those seeking more seasonal conditions. The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center expects temperatures to be above average in New Jersey by the end of April.

Jersey attitude? Fuhgeddaboudit: Classes aim to make region hospitable to Super Bowl visitors

By ,
Meadowlands chamber CEO Jim Kirkos
Meadowlands chamber CEO Jim Kirkos - ()

New Jersey's “tough guy” image will no doubt be on the minds of some visitors who descend on the region in February for Super Bowl XLVIII.

But Jim Kirkos hopes to change that with some simple hospitality from the locals.

To help the cause, individuals and businesses can sharpen those skills in a one-day training program in North Jersey. The certificate course in "excellence in visitor experience," which has dates through December, is being offered by the Meadowlands Regional Chamber of Commerce and Bergen County Community College.

Kirkos, the chamber's president and CEO, said providing a warm welcome is about more than just customer service for the thousands of visitors who will come here. It's also about providing guidance about the destination, from facilities such as Secaucus Junction to attractions like Medieval Times and the Liberty Science Center.

And in the cross-Hudson competition for tourism dollars, every little advantage helps, especially with a growing focus on bringing major events to the region, Kirkos said. He said that for New York City, "all it has to do is wake up in the morning … and it does all kinds of business. And whether you're nice or not, people are going."

"In New Jersey, we don't have as many destination assets, but we have a lot to offer," said Kirkos, a former hospitality and catering business owner. "So if we're going to win some business now and in the future, we need a competitive edge."

The eight-hour training class was inspired by trips to other recent Super Bowl host destinations such as Indianapolis, Kirkos said. It's been geared toward cab drivers, restaurant workers and "anybody that would touch and come in contact with a visitor."

Kirkos also believes the certificate program has long-term benefits for beyond the Super Bowl.

"As an employer … I would look at and pick that résumé over somebody else that didn't have that training," Kirkos said.

To sign up for the remaining classes, send an email to warmwelcome@bergen.edu, visit http://bit.ly/MRCC2 or call (201) 447-7488.

What to Know Before Purchasing a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle

NMEDA’s network of mobility equipment dealers and industry professionals is dedicated to ensuring the journey to a new accessible van or car is a smooth and worry-free process. The following answers some of the most frequent questions we receive regarding our services, mobility solutions and the purchasing process.

What are the key steps when purchasing a mobility vehicle?
  1. Locate a NMEDA Dealer. Working with a mobility industry professional from the beginning will significantly and positively impact your entire purchasing process.
  2. Consult with a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist for a personal evaluation.
  3. Make a final purchase decision with the help of a NMEDA dealer.
  4. Receive training on how to use the mobility equipment.
  5. When available, apply for mobility reimbursements.

Additionally, we have compiled a thorough How to Buy guide to help you navigate through the purchase of your wheelchair accessible vehicle and ensure you get exactly what you need.

How do I find a mobility dealer near me?
Visit our NMEDA Dealer Locator, enter your zip or postal code and click on find. The locator will display the NMEDA mobility dealers nearest you.
How do I know if a mobility vehicle is right for me?
When it comes to choosing the right size mobility vehicle, vans have always been a popular option. Besides their larger size able to accommodate additional equipment and family members, vans are often easier on the body over a long period of time. A minivan or full sized mobility van is very practical for individuals in a wheelchair as they do not need to transfer from their chair to a car seat if they don’t want to. Most handicap van conversions allow users to drive from their wheelchair or from a transfer seat. To find out more about choosing the right size vehicle for your needs, be sure to talk to your NMEDA dealer to help better determine what would work best for you.
Are there any mobility-challenged customers who would be better served by a sedan or truck?
Yes, a sedan or truck can work for individuals with disabilities; however, you must do your research. Start with a mobility dealer, specifically a NMEDA Quality Assurance Program (QAP) dealer. They can connect individuals to a certified driver rehabilitation specialist (CDRS) who will determine the specific equipment needed for someone to drive. The dealer then uses this information to complete the necessary modifications to the vehicle. Also, the dealer can direct buyers to information on funding options, and they provide the proper facilities to maintain and repair the vehicle. They even offer 24-hour mechanical service.
What factors influence the cost of a wheelchair accessible vehicle?
The influences impacting the price of a vehicle are far and wide, even down to whether you’re buying new or used vehicles, side or rear entry ramp or even the type of hand controls. For current pricing or new and used wheelchair accessible vehicles, please contact a NMEDA Dealer near you.
What kind of maintenance is required with mobility vehicles?
We recommend a service inspection every six months by a qualified professional, but to keep the warranties intact, every piece of equipment requires actual maintenance at different times. All equipment needs to be inspected for damage, alignment and proper operation. Electrical wiring checks include frayed wires and loose connections. It all needs to be cleaned, adjusted and lubricated. Please know the maintenance requirements, and ensure that routine maintenance is performed on time or the manufacturer may not honor the warranty.
How do I know if a product is safe?
NMEDA does its best to review test compliance documentation from manufacturer members to ensure that are in compliance for the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) put out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To find out more information about specific products, read through our Compliance Review Program. NMEDA only displays those products that have submitted documentation and are found to be in compliance with FMVSS by a panel of independent engineers.
Does NMEDA independently perform product testing?
NMEDA does have a Compliance Review Program that reviews testing documentation on certain products through a panel of independent engineers to determine compliance to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
What is QAP?
The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality. The program was developed to elevate the level of dealer performance to reliably meet consumers’ transportation needs in the safest manner possible. The Quality Assurance Program was developed to promote quality, safety and reliable transportation. All NMEDA Dealer Members must be in compliance with QAP to be a NMEDA member. To read more about QAP, read our documentation on the program and its benefits.
Where can I get information about NMEDA member manufacturers?
Within our What to Buy guide, we’ve included links to the manufacturers of specific mobility equipment solutions. Each product category link on our What to Buy page will take to a page that lists the Manufacturers.
What can I do if I have a complaint against one of your members?

As a wealthy desert sheikh, you have many needs. Perhaps you need a wise advisor, or a talented cook, or maybe a well-organized housekeeper? Or, maybe you seek the romance of a beautiful companion?

But are you attractive enough to convince the princess to join your house and provide you with the skills you need to achieve your secret goals? Only a lucky or resourceful sheikh can hope to welcome an Emira into his palace. Because in this distant desert land, it is the princess who chooses which palace she will join!

As a desert sheikh, you will need to invest in the lucrative spice trade to furnish yourself with the wealth to improve your appearance, enlarge your palace, and expand your status in the kingdom so that the princesses will choose you instead of another sheik. But you will have to mind your funds carefully: these independent and self-confident princesses will not stay if you cannot provide them with the life of comfort that they have come to expect!

Emira is a satirical, historically themed game about desert nobles trying to attract princesses to join their household. While we neither glorify nor recommend setting up a harem, it sure is fun to watch those sheiks try to win over the self-confident and emancipated princesses!

    So you should see notable increase in load times for the main website (not store just yet).
    I have my personal website hosted on the new server and it screams F-A-S-T!
    And Derek set me up with a cool app that allows me to monitor the server from my iPhone and might get another app that allows me to remotely reboot the domain.
    All this translates into more reliable service and up time for our customers.

Military Road club celebrates National Garden Week

Suzie Hunt, Contributing writer By Suzie Hunt, Contributing writer The Times-Picayune
on June 22, 2012 at 7:00 AM

The leadership of the Cross Gates Home Owners Association has started its new year with some fresh faces and returning veterans.

Lynell Braun and Sharon Dixon of the Magnolia Forest Garden Club present a copy of 'Great Teacher Projects' to St. Tammany Parish Library's Pearl River branch librarian Adele Salzer during National Garden Week.

“July 1 starts our new membership year and dues will be due at that time. They are $75, the same as last year,” said Jodie Griffin, CGHOA Secretary.

Re-elected to their posts were President Arty Polo, Secretary Jodie Griffin and Members-at-Large Marian Pezant, B.J. Wooten and Pamela Deese.

New to their positions are Vice President Mary Ann Jacobs, Treasurer Toni Hunt, and Members-at-Large Jim McCarty and Eve Bobbitt.

Magnolia Forest Garden Club members recently celebrated National Garden Week by sharing their knowledge with others through a gift to the St. Tammany Parish Library. Sponsored by National Garden Clubs, the week is set aside to encourage the promotion of gardening, according to Carroll Knowles, MFGC publicity chairman.

“We provided a copy of the book, “Great Teacher Projects” for grades K-8 to the Pearl River Branch,” Knowles said. National Gardening Week is celebrated during the first full week in June.

Prior to the start of their summer schedule, the garden club held its last meeting of the season in May at the home of Nancy O’Bryan.

Member Billie Carpenter gave an informative program on daylilies, according to Knowles. Carol Hodge, Billie Carpenter and Jane Freeman served as co-hostesses. Although the club will not meet again until September, it will be active through various field trips. Several members recently attended the Madisonville Flower Show, themed “Madisonville Bicentennial.”

Louisiana lawmakers discuss student privacy bill

State lawmakers heard hours of often heated testimony Wednesday (March 19) from the public, education officials and other lawmakers on a bill seeking to restrict the sharing of student data in Louisiana.

Several amendments were suggested during the three-hour discussion on the bill. But lawmakers could not reach agreement on how to protect student privacy, while also ensuring this wouldn't mean hundreds of millions of dollars in state and federal funding would be in jeopardy.

The committee adjourned until 1:00 p.m.

Life in the Glass Lane

How Internet traffic merges with the new east-west fiber-optic line

click to enlarge Broadband Into Humboldt - NCJ GRAPHICS
  • NCJ Graphics
  • Broadband Into Humboldt

Passing by the Shasta County town of Platina at almost 450 million miles per hour, there's no time to stop and visit its gas-and-groceries store, its solid-waste transfer station (capable of handling 25 tons a day), or its couple hundred residents, including the brothers at the nearby St. Herman of Alaska Monastery.

This trip of light fantastic starts about 30 miles east, in Cottonwood, between Redding and Red Bluff on Interstate 5. From there, it makes a beeline west over range and foothills toward Platina; then cruises roughly along Highway 36 before veering toward a terminus in Eureka. The 121-mile trip takes just under one thousandth of a second -- that's for a bit of a megabyte pulsing at about two-thirds of the speed of light through the glass threads of the new fiber optic line between Eureka and Cottonwood. (The light moves slower than it does in a vacuum because of refraction in the glass.)

The line is the new Highway 36 Humboldt-Trinity Counties Project. That's the official project title; but, ala the "Rock Island Line" or the "Pacific Surfliner," a more compelling moniker seems due. The Eureka Streak? The Cottonwood Carrier? The E-C Rider?

Opened for business last December, the line carries a bundle of 72 glass fibers. These fibers are paired to send signals heading in opposite directions on separate fibers. (With higher -- and more expensive -- technology, traffic can be sent in both directions on a single fiber by using different wavelengths of light to carry signals travelling in opposite directions.)

Before the line's existence, Internet travel into and out of Humboldt County relied largely on one fiber optic line running north-south, AT&T's along Highway 101. (Some traffic flowed via Garberville-based 101Netlinks' system, which transmits microwave signals from mountaintop to mountaintop between Ukiah and Eureka.)

The day after Christmas 2006, high winds took out AT&T's line, and with it the vast majority of the county's Internet service. A month later, a fire shut the line down. Later in 2007, trenching for highway construction cut AT&T's buried line -- twice. Each time the line was severed, most of Humboldt County's residents and businesses temporarily lost their lone tether to the Internet -- so no email, no web surfing, no online sales, big gaps in critical information -- for periods generally ranging from six to 12 hours.

In the wake of those dark days, a call rang out across the region: "Redundancy!"

Backed by a broad coalition and fronted by San Francisco-based tech company IP Networks Inc., a proposal to bring in another track from the east won the day. It wound up costing about $14.4 million, 40 percent of which was funded by state money. To many global villagers in Humboldt County, the undertaking was akin to the transcontinental railroad.

From July to November last year, the project's crews added new peaks to Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s power-line towers. They strung new fiber lines above the existing high-voltage lines, high enough and tight enough to keep them from touching and to prevent "fiber galloping" in high winds.

According to IP Networks Vice President of Strategy and Implementation Mary-Lou Smulders, the project faced "enormous challenges," such as spanning huge ravines, "ups and downs" with property owners, getting cattle moved, and satisfying environmental regulations.

For example, to avoid the disruption of bird reproduction, the project commenced during non-nesting season. Smulders said, "It was ‘Wait.' ‘Wait.' ‘Wait.' ‘Wait.' Then, ‘Go!' ... And then -- and I never imagined this -- we were heading into the harvest season for the region's famous crop (marijuana)."

Line crews had trouble convincing growers that they did not represent the Drug Enforcement Agency. "We had to show them: ‘This is what our helicopter looks like. This is what our uniforms look like. We're not the DEA. All we're doing is pulling fiber,'" said Smulders.

At last, the proverbial golden spike was hammered as the last node was connected. It was ‘Hallelujah!' for the second coming of fiber to Humboldt County, with three dozen new pairs of fiber for all to share -- well, at least for those who buy into the line.

Of the 36 pairs, a dozen went to PG&E, essentially in exchange for use of its right-of-way and towers. IP Networks Inc. leases considerable remaining portions to two "anchor tenants," Suddenlink and 101Netlink, according to Smulders. (On a related note, Suddenlink's owners last month agreed to sell the company to private equity firm BC Partners and a Canadian pension fund.)

What Suddenlink and 101Netlink are leasing is redundancy, another fiber-optic way into and out of town that serves as a backup if the north-south line goes dark or a microwave linkage fails. That's the catch. The backup is only available to companies that pay for space on the line. (See "Occupy Broadband.") So ask your Internet provider: What route(s) do you use?

The new line is not being used to its full capacity yet. "We still have about four pairs of cable available and we'd be happy to sell them," Smulders said. "Actually, it's a long-term lease." Citing non-disclosure agreements, she would not reveal the cost or say who else is leasing space on the new east-west line.

Among those who have hopped aboard the new line, said Seth Johannesen, owner of 101Netlink, "We don't call it ‘redundant.' We call it ‘alternate.'" He said his company uses both its own microwave relay to Ukiah and the new fiber "all of the time."

While Internet packets -- the little bundles of information that travel across the Web -- don't make the same trip twice, they now have another route available. Which routes they take are determined by protocols in place at routers along the way.

For example, the clearest, choicest route is determined by OSPF protocol -- that's Over Shortest Path First. Gauging milliseconds, OSPF finds the shortest route -- in time, not necessarily distance -- and takes into account the transmission quality at that milli-moment, because lines can degrade due to high traffic and other factors.

"If a network gets congested, routers learn," said Johannesen.

And if one line goes down, said Johannesen, the routers will detect that a section of track is not viable and send the packets elsewhere. Such was the case when a fierce storm took down a stretch of the new IP Networks east-west line last winter.

But unless wildfire, backhoe blades, high winds or other calamities strike, traffic flows over both fiber lines and the microwave system continuously.

If one of the key lines to Eureka fails, the routers will send data along an open line, but only if that data has a ticket to ride on it -- the same as in normal operations.

"Every core router knows its next door neighbor," said Johannesen. "If one of my routers can't talk to one of its neighbors, it doesn't really hit a brick wall. It's more of a communication back and forth, neighbors checking in and reporting back."

In this context, the neighbors may belong to competing telecommunications enterprises that need to cooperate and travel down each other's road in the vast, open, rough-and-tumble terrain of the Internet.

So, in the spirit of redundancy, let's review: if it has a pulse and a favorable policy, a main fiber-optic line will carry your email when the other line goes down -- but only if your Internet provider has bought or leased rights to the live line's fibers. Again, ask about it.

Like many neighborly relations along property lines, routing can get complicated with technical gymnastics required to get through hoops. Sometimes a pathway needs to be debugged. Sometimes trying to cross through a neighborhood can be downright dubious.

According to network engineer Ivan Pepelnjak (on, networks with routers that don't run proper protocol may have no idea how to route a packet of information toward its destination. Instead, they may divert it toward a different address block, which subsequently can get overloaded, creating what route-tenders call a "black hole."

"To identify a black hole in your network, perform a traceroute (sic) from your customer's network to a destination in the Internet," writes Pepelnjak. "The last router responding to the traceroute is one hop before the black hole."

You don't want to go there.

That's light years past Platina.

Puppy Party – Push Pups

I so badly wanted to use my push pop containers for the birthday party. So I made these “PUSH PUPS”

Filled them with chocolate covered raisins.

Added this sticker to it-

Click Here To Download

I simply printed them on a 8 1/2 x 11 full size sheet of address labels by Avery. Then punched them out using Uchida LV-SJCP40 Clever Lever Super Jumbo Craft Punch, 2-Inch Circle (My favorite type of punches)

Stuck them onto the outside of the push pops.

To display them I used the Container Store puppy drawer organizer. (TOO CUTE) As of right now they are on sale $1.99 each!

I purchased 2 styrofoam floral blocks from the Dollar Tree that fit inside of the box perfectly.

I used other paper to stuff around the outside of the blocks so they would sit snug in the puppy container. I did not want to glue the blocks into the container so I could use them later.

Once they were all snug and tight, I placed 6 of my push pups into the foam to stand up. I used also the Dollar Tree shredded kraft paper to fill on top of the foam to hide the not so cute part of it.

Look how adorable that came out!! Very simple to do. :)
