Diapers Needed
by Elsie Walker his area and surrounding areas have been hit by high unemployment and problems associated with the recent flood conditions. While it is difficult enough for adults to try to keep their heads above water (so to speak), think about the effects on infants. Infants depend on a parent to provide necessities like food and diapers. However, when money is short or non-existent, parents may not have enough to buy diapers. Neither WIC, Medicare, nor food stamps cover diapers (except for hospice care). Parents of infants may resort to trying to stretch the diapers out, making the child go without a change or more.
This can cause not only health problems for the infant, but a strain on the family that can lead to even more problems. The answer for many is the Diaper Bank, and Child and Family Resources in Mt.Arlington is hoping the community can help meet the need for diapers. According to statistics from Child and Family Resources, a healthy change of diapers costs $112 per month for children and $312 per month for adults. However, fulltime work at minimum wage grosses only about $1,160 per month; at $10/hour, it grosses about $1,600. Now think that the average rent for a one bedroom apartment is $1,045
per month, leaving only $115-$5 in disposable income for all other expenses, including taxes, food, transportation, clothes, and diapers. When you think about those who are unemployed and about homeless families, the picture is even grimmer. In some cases, the cost is not short term. Many disabled babies never outgrow the need for diapers, requiring them through adulthood. Child and Family Resources notes that for child care, school, and job training, many disabled children and adults require incontinence supplies. Cloth diapers are not a solution. For adults, they are not readily available For children, child care programs require disposable diapers for sanitary reasons. The result of a lack of diapers or diaper changes is not just a mess. A child who is left in the same dirty diaper risks everything from skin problems to hepatitis. Then there is the childs reaction. The baby cries. Prolonged, non-stop crying can become unbearable for some parents and caregivers. Child and Family Resources notes that children under age three represent 28% of all abuse and neglect cases. The answer to the problem is disposable diapers for the Diaper Bank and thats where Child and Family services needs the communitys help. There are many ways it can be done.
Child and Family Resources offered these ideas: Host a Diaper Drive at your workplace, congregation, or organization. We are in great need of sizes 4, 5 and 6 diapers. Collect unopened diapers at an upcoming party or family event. Donate Dollars for Diapers by making a check payable to Child and Family Resources or host a fundraising event for the Diaper Bank at Child and Family Resources. Diapers are distributed through the following affiliated organizations: Children on the Green, Interfaith Council for Homeless Families, Little Peoples Academy, the Morris County Office of Temporary Assistance, Jersey Battered Womens Services, NORWESCAP Early Head Start Program, Parsippany Child Day Care Center, Catholic Charities Hope House, Homeless Solutions and Samaritan Inn Shelter. There are babies in need, and Child and Family Resources is hoping that the community will donate for those who cant help themselves.

Arlington, NJ 07856 (973) 601-6157 or cbianco@childandfamily-nj.org www.childandfamily-nj.org

Pageant Winners Crowned
by Elsie Walker arlier, in the afternoon, Ellen Chu of Park Ridge had sat waiting for her interview with the judges. Her platform was Overcoming Obstacles. Like all the contestants, she wondered if she would walk away with a crown. Later that night, after the talent, swimsuit, evening gown, and on-stage question competitions, she did. Chu became Miss Gateway 2012. Chu, along with Cierra KalerJones (Miss Northern Lakes 2012 ) and Carissa Palumbo (Miss Tri-County 2012 ) were among several young women who came to the Stanhope United Methodist Church in Netcong on October 1st to compete in a preliminary to the Miss Jersey pageant. The October pageant was part of the Miss America pageant system, which provides winners with scholarships and a forum for raising awareness of issues that are important to them. Working behind the scenes to make the local pageants a reality are volunteers like those who helped with Miss Gateway, Miss Northern Lakes, and Miss Tri-County. To me it is a worthwhile program for women who are trying to further their education. It is a good clean activity, said Sharon Rosequist of Netcong, Executive Director of the Miss Tri-County pageant. She described the contestants as upbeat, confident, and poised. I really believe in the pageant, said Jeanne Viscito of Berkeley Heights, who is the Executive Director of the Miss Northern Lakes pageant. Viscito is an example of the wide range of volunteers who help to make the pageants a reality. She is a prosecutor for the city of Newark . Viscito got involved in the pag-
eant because of Terry Karns (Executive Director of the Miss Gateway pageant). She belongs to the Hickory Chapter of the Sweet Adelines, as does Karns wife. The group not only performs at the pageant, but its members help out in the background. Viscito started as a hostess, then became a judge and is now an executive director. Some people get involved with the pageants because of their daughters involvement. Such is the case of Dr. Susan Miller, an eye doctor form Ventnor, New Jersey. Her daughter, Heather (now Dr. Heather Miller) is a former Miss Gateway. Susan Miller saw how the pageant benefited her daughter in the way it helped her develop poise and through the people she met. Now Susan Miller comes to help other young women who are taking the same path. Sitting near Miller, waiting for her time with the judges, was Fiona DiGennaro, 18, of Middletown. This was her 4th pageant in her first season of competition. She explained that it was a sort of graduation [from high school] gift. To compete, the girls need a gown and certain accessories. While these things dont have to be expensive, they do cost money. DiGennaros graduation present helped her to buy what she needed. That night DiGennaro finished as first runner-up. (Second runner-up was Amanda Neshiewat.) Seemingly a thousand places at once was Willadene Karns of Stanhope, who was mom for the day. The wife of the director of the Miss Gateway pageant, she said she helped the girls by sewing, spraying, cajoling and consoling when needed. A retired Bryam third grade teacher, Karns noted that the pageant contestants and volunteers are
like a community. Many past contestants now volunteer their help on the day of the pageant. For Devon Caposello, 20, of Hopatcong, this was her first time competing in a pageant. A student at Kean University, her grandmother had continually encouraged continued on page 9
Ellen Chu waits for her judges' interview. Later, Chu would be crowned Miss Gateway 2012.
Pageant Winners Crowned

continued from page 8 Caposello to enter a pageant and she finally did. Caposello noted that one of the things she liked about the pageant system was that a requirement was that contestants had to raise a certain amount of money for the Childrens Miracle Network. She likes the idea of helping others. Her platform was Youth Violence. She was personally affected by that when a friend was badly beaten by a group of juveniles. Youth violence is an issue today with youth ages 13 18 committing the violent acts. Caposello reflected on the pageant itself.
She noted that unlike the portrayals of pageants on TV, there was no back-biting there; the young women were supportive and helped each other. Of course, the climax of the pageant came during the evening which was filled of talented performances by the contestants, an appearance by the reigning Miss New Jersey, Katharyn Nicolle, and the crowning of the winners. Now, for the winners, it is on to the Miss New Jersey pageant in June and to see whether one of October pageant winners will assume Katharyn Nicolles crown.

Scouts Have Overnight of Fun
Boy Scout Troop 188 of Landing hosts an overnight event for second-year Webelos from Cub Scouts Pack 188 who will be crossing over to Boy Scouts in February 2012. Webelos got to sample various activities that a Boy Scout is expected to know, such as chopping firewood, tying knots and building a monkey bridge. Submitted photo
oy Scout Troop 188 of Landing hosted an overnight event for the second-year Webelos Cub Scouts from Pack 188 that will be crossing over to Boy Scouts next February. They were invited to see what they will be doing on future Boy Scout outings and also so that they could learn various skills important to a Scout. They had several learning stations for orienteering, knife safety, chopping fire-
wood, lashing and knot tying. They then put their knot tying skills to test by building a monkey bridge that they then crossed. They also pitched their own tents and learned how to cook their own dinner and dessert over a campfire. They ended the night with a large campfire filled with funny skits, campfire songs, jokes and most of all lots of laughs!
Janices Blog
the slimmest laptop, its in the brand new model of that very thing we dont really need but must have. But the more we distract ourselves with everything thats outside of ourselves, the harder it is to see whats inside. One of my favorite childrens books is Shel Silversteins The Missing Piece (and the sequel, The Missing Piece Meets The Big O). If you happen to be in the bookstore, pop on over to the childrens aisle and give it a read. Personally, I think its in the wrong section entirely, it should be in the adult Self-Help aisle. The idea is that a sweet, little pac-man shaped character goes looking for the missing piece that he thinks will make him whole, only to discover in the end, that theres nothing really missing from his life after all. The search for what he thinks is missing was only a distraction from seeing the beauty of the fullness of his life. Oh, by the way, if you come to my house, youll find both of those books on my shelf, my most prized literary material! When you begin to learn to trust that you have everything you need, life just gets eas-
The Missing Peace
By Janice C. Molinari ometimes when a lesson comes, it hits you from all sides. It seems like recently, Ive been hearing the same thing over and over. It comes in different voices trying to get me to pay attention. Maybe its time for me to really listen up and hear the message thats being delivered. Heres what its sayingYou already have everything you need for your own greatness. Thats shocking. And at the same time, it feels like something Ive always known deep down in my core. Ive heard time and again you do not GAIN something, you UNCOVER what has been there all along, what will always be there. In a society thats constantly delivering the message, you NEED the latest and the greatest, it is no wonder this message that is embedded in our very DNA, gets lost. We know deep down that we already possess everything we need. But somehow, we still get distracted by the message that what were looking for exists in something outside of ourselves. Its in the latest iphone or
ier. We carry our greatness within us, we just need to remove the clutter and let it shine. We need to stop searching for the thing that we think will make us complete, we need to stop looking for our Missing Peace and realize that we are already whole and beautifulall on our own.

Mountain Creek...
continued from page 17 winter will have access to one of the finest, most modern day-lodges on the east coast, a high-tech rental facility that transports equipment to the slopes for the user, five new slopeside dining options, three new bars and entertainment options, and the largest snow tubing park in the country. Beginners will enjoy newly designed teaching terrain that will make learning to ski or snowboard easier than ever before. More daring skiers and snowboarders can utilize the two new BagJump features. These inflatable stuntman-style landing pads, will allow guests to experience the thrills of big air and spins with the safety of an impact-free landing. The improvements made this year to Mountain Creek are nothing short of amazing. We now have destination level, worldclass facilities that are well above anything within a four-hour drive of Manhattan. Regardless of if our guests are coming for the day or looking to make a weekend out of it, everything is in place to provide an incredible experience, commented Bill Benneyan, Mountain Creeks Chief Marketing Officer. The technology in our rental center is truly next level, our snow tubing park is the biggest in the country and our terrain parks consistently win national recognition. Whether youre looking to try snowboarding for the first time, a seasoned skier looking to sharpening their skills or a hardcore park enthusiast, theres now something for everyone here at Mountain Creek. Details on Mountain Creeks recent improvements include: New Red Tail Lodge: Visitors to Mountain Creeks blog (http://creektalks.blogspot.com/) have watched the extraordinary 55,000 square foot Red Tail Lodge take shape. Merging rustic charms with high-tech elegance, the lodge is comprised of three floors, two bars, a fine dining restaurant, indoor and outdoor dining options, and a state-of-the-art rental center. With all of these features packaged together
under one roof, the Red Tail Lodge is easily one of the most modern and plush day lodges in the East. Revolutionary New Rental Center and Learn-To Area: Learning to ski or snowboard can be daunting. The physical experience of simply securing your rental equipment can be a tiresome process, which can make actually getting onto the snow to learn even more challenging than it needs to be. Mountain Creeks new technology-driven rental system fills out your paperwork with just the swipe of a credit card or drivers license, and then transports your equipment via a surface elevator to the new on-snow Schoolyard teaching area so its there waiting for you when you arrive. No fumbling required! Revolutionary New Rental Center and Learn-To Area Continued: In addition, the new learning area will feature an intuitive, terrain-assisted learning paradigm that makes the experience of learning to turn on snow easier, more successful, less tiring and more enjoyable for beginners, complete with a special Cool School station. Action Lift Company Restaurant: A new 180-seat slopeside restaurant pays homage to Mountain Creeks past while providing the modern amenities that visitors desire. Located at the base of the Appalachian Hotel at Vernon Peak, the restaurant will feature a mix of traditional home cooking and real Southern-style BBQ. The interior will be decorated with posters, pictures and icons representing the deep history of rollicking spirit of invention and fun in the Vernon Valley area, including Action Park, Great Gorge, the Playboy Club and the rich heritage of skiing and snowboarding in New Jersey, which includes the headquarters of Cubco Bindings, the first Head Ski test and early proving grounds for snowboard pioneer, Tom Sims. The Action Lift Company is destined to be a great place to get a drink, relax with family for a sit down dinner or simply just unwind on the patio and while breathing in the fresh mountain air.
Drop Zone Snow Tubing Park: With more than 35 lanes totaling six miles of runs, it will be the largest snow tubing facility in the country. In addition to the tubing chutes, therell be free-to-try demo skis and snowboards in the Snow Play Center, so inquisitive tubers who are eager to explore other winter activities can do so in a low-pressure setting. 2 New BagJump Air Bags: Get ready to take flight. If youve ever wanted to try a big jump without the hard landing consequences, Mountain Creek is making it easier than ever to be that daring skier or rider. Two new BagJump air bags, which are essentially inflatable landing pads that cushion landings off of jumps, will be located at the South Terrain Park and Vernon Base all winter long. These are the same landing bags that many professional athletes use for training and can be found at major resorts around the globe. More information on BagJump air bags is available online at (http://www.bagjump.com/). Expansive New Solar Project: Decreasing their environmental footprint is a major goal for Mountain Creek. For this winter Mountain Creek will be covering all of their parking spaces with new roof-mounted solar parking canopies, which will ultimately generate more than eight megawatts of electricity for the resort and decrease electrical usage by 50 percent. This is believed to be
one of the largest resort solar installations in the US. All of these changes come on the heels of the successful merger of Mountain Creek with Crystal Springs Resort in May of 2010. Together, Crystal Springs and Mountain Creek offer 4-season world-class amenities including seven award-winning golf courses, 2 top-ranked spas, abundant lodging in 4 hotels including the distinctive Grand Cascades Lodge, a globally-renowned 120,000 bottle wine cellar, multiple venues for weddings, meetings and catered events, ski and snowboard, Mountain Creek Waterpark, Diablo Freeride mountain bike park. About Mountain Creek Located in Vernon, NJ, Mountain Creek is the tri-state areas premiere destination for mountain excitement. Just 47 miles from the George Washington Bridge, Mountain Creek is easily accessible for New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania residents looking for a world-class resort experience in less than two hours from many major locations. Mountain Creek offers over 167 acres of terrain on 4 mountain peaks with 100% night skiing and the regions highest vertical at 1040'.

iding a surge of research showing that learning a foreign language early in life improves math and reading skills and SAT scores later in life, Foreign Language program Lango Adventures has begun teaching Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and French to kids ages 6 month old 11 years in the Northwest NJ and sur-
New Foreign Language Program to Teach Mandarin, Spanish and French to Northwest NJ-area
rounding communities. Bringing Lango to this area is owneroperator and Chester NJ resident Agnes Beede. A mother of 6 Children who became unemployed after 9 years of working at Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Agnes started Lango a year ago after her daughter lost the Language program at her school, now her daughter is learning Spanish, French and Chinese after she decided to become entrepreneur. Convinced of the importance of learning new languages when traveling overseas, Agnes says that America falls far short when it comes to a key aspect of getting along in an increasingly global society. Joining forces with San Franciscobased Lango, Agnes has hired nativespeaking and certified teachers who use a proprietary curriculum, teaching classes in local schools, community centers and other facilities. Lango classes employ music, movement, playacting, games, reading and writing and art activities in a high-energy environment. We strive to reach every child in the manner that best suits their learning style, continues Aggie. We believe that every child should learn another language, and that every child can learn another language. Our teachers work really hard to ensure that we make good on this belief. Foreign language instruction among
young children has indeed gained wide acceptance in recent years as numerous studies have shown that learning languages early in life impacts a child in a variety of ways. In addition to being able to speak the language devoid of accents that teenagers and adults typically appropriate, children benefit through accelerated cognitive development, which has been shown to result in stronger achievement in other subject, including math and reading, and even in higher test scores. When youre learning a second language not long after learning your first, your brain isnt so cluttered, and its not anchored to the sounds and patterns you already know, says Aggie. They say those little kids are like sponges, and its really true; I see it every day in our classes, as they soak it up readily and naturally. Its a blast to watch happen.

Acupuncture, Whats the Point? Sticking to the Facts - Learn How Everyone Can Benefit!
In attempts to raise awareness about Acupuncture in my own community, I am sharing some of these Acupuncture Facts with you! What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that requires the insertion of tiny filiform needles into various points on the body. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine originated in Ancient China thousands of years ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living being has energy that flows through invisible meridians (energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as "Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians. Imbalance in the flow of Qi results in illness and/or disease. Think of a garden hose. Water flows smoothly through the hose as long as there are no kinks. When a kink occurs, the water builds up on one side of the kink preventing the water from flowing through. Now envision 14 garden hoses attached to one another and arranged within the body. Each hose is connected to an organ in the body. You can see how a kink in just one of the hoses can affect all the other hoses/organs throughout the body. The kink or blockage results in illness and/or disease. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used to restore the smooth flow of Qi (i.e. remove all the kinks) and bring the body back to balance. If you are still following then you are probably wondering how the kinks originate in the first place. Our Qi or energy can become kinked or blocked from physical/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyle and eating habits, seasonal changes, overexertion, and exposure to the elements (wind, cold, dampness, heat). But have no fearAcupuncture is here! How does Acupuncture Work? There are several theories regarding the Acupuncture mechanism. Acupuncture helps the body to do what it was meant to do- heal itself. Some of the most common theories include: - Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which relieve pain - Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters (substances that that transmit nerve impulses to the brain -Acupuncture has a profound effect on the Autonomic Nervous System - Acupuncture stimulates circulation - Acupuncture enhances the bodys immune response - Acupuncture influences the electrical currents of the body The most common question of all Does Acupuncture Hurt? Extremely fine needles are used in the treatment of Acupuncture, making the experience almost painless. Most patients don't even feel the needles being inserted. The Acupuncture needles used are as fine as a few hairs on your head. All of my patients find their Acupuncture treatments to be very relaxing. In fact, most people fall asleep during their treatment. What is a typical Acupuncture treatment like? Upon arrival the patient is asked to fill out a detailed health history questionnaire. Then, the acupuncturist will review the health history with the patient and go over the patients primary health concern and lifestyle. The acupuncturist will take the patient's pulses and look at his/her tongue (In Chinese medicine the tongue and pulses are representative of the various organ/meridian systems and help in the diagnostic process). After the interview, the practitioner will come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient. The treatment plan is specific to the individual- not their disease. Then, the needles will be inserted into various acupuncture points. The patient may feel a heaviness or tingling sensation around the needle insertion site. The needles are typically retained for 20-30 minutes. How many Acupuncture treatments are needed? The number of Acupuncture treatments needed is based on the severity and chronicity of the condition. However, most patients experience some relief after the very first treatment. What kinds of needles are used in an Acupuncture Treatment? Tiny filiform needles are used for Acupuncture treatment. All of the needles are disposable, pre-sterilized and prepackaged. After each treatment, the needles are thrown away and new needles are used every time. Are there any side effects of Acupuncture treatment? Most people do not experience any side effects from Acupuncture. Occasionally, minor bruising can occur at the needle site. What does Acupuncture treat? Acupuncture is effective in treating various disorders and symptoms including, but not limited to the following: Addiction, Anxiety, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Joint Pain, Asthma, Auto Injuries, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Common Cold & Influenza, Constipation, Degenerative Disk Disorders, Depression, Facial Rejuvenation, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Indigestion, Gas, Bloating, Infertility, Insomnia, Menopause symptoms, Migraines, Morning Sickness, Musculoskeletal pain, Nausea, Orthopedic Conditions, Pain, PMS & Menstrual Irregularities, Reproductive Issues, Sports Injuries, Stress, Tendonitis, Smoking Cessation and Weight management. What does it take to become an Acupuncturist? In addition to obtaining a Bachelors degree, Acupuncturists are required to undergo 3 years of schooling at an accredited Acupuncture school. Acupuncture programs consist of various classes in the areas of Acupuncture and Biomedicine as well as a full year of a clinical internship to obtain the experience of treating patients. The National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine requires that Acupuncturists take 3 National Board Examinations to test proficiency and knowledge in the areas of Acupuncture, Theory and Biomedicine. The State of New Jersey requires an additional Licensing Board Examination to obtain licensure in New Jersey. Once licensed, Acupuncturists are required to take Continuing Education Courses every year. For more information on Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine call Kearstin R. Saya, L.Ac 908.876.3643
cupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day is observed annually on October 24. It is part of an effort designed to increase public awareness of the progress, promise, and benefits of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine. This Ancient Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years in China, but has only gained popularity in the U.S over the past 25 years. Although 36% of U.S adults have used complementary and alternative medicine, many healthcare consumers are still unaware of alternative healthcare options and their vast benefits. In fact, everyone can benefit from Acupuncture whether seeking help for an existing health issue or just to promote overall wellness and to help prevent future issues. Acupuncture is an evidence-based modality and research from the National Institute of Health proves that Acupuncture is effective for use in pain management, osteoarthritis, postoperative or chemotherapy-related nausea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma, among others. In addition, The World Health Organization declares Acupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety, panic disorders, insomnia and forty-two other medical conditions.

or most Americans, the holiday season is the busiest and most demanding time of the year. From social engagements and travel to buying gifts and baking, its often hard to juggle competing commitments. In fact, 80 percent of Americans anticipate stress during the holiday season, according to the American Psychological Association. If you are planning a cocktail or dinner party this year, remember, inviting friends and family into your home should be fun and festive, not overwhelming. Take time to plan ahead and follow these simple tips for a special gathering that both you and your guests will enjoy. Set the mood as you set the table. When entertaining, linen napkins and tablecloths can set the tone for the party and create a festive and welcoming experience for guests. If table linens are kept packed away, wash and freshen before setting the table. No one wants to see lipstick or food stains as they sit down for dinner. Before the party, wash linens with a gel detergent that attacks stains and rinses eas-

ily. Try Arm & Hammer Plus OxiClean Power Gel Laundry Detergent which removes stains like food, oil and grease. Menu planning 101. Expect guests to be thirsty and hungry when they arrive. Whether passing hors doeuvres or having a sit-down meal, buy and prepare plenty of food to keep everyone happy and full. To have enough cocktails on hand, plan for your guests to drink one to two drinks per hour of the party and calculate from there. Create a show-stopping centerpiece. Adding centerpieces, whether one large arrangement or a series of small vases or candles, can help dress up any room. Arrangements made from pine, holly, or berry branches tie nicely to the holiday season and can be found at any craft store. As an alternative, make an arrangement of pomegranates, cloves, and oranges to provide a pleasant and fresh scent. Warm up by the fire. If you have a fireplace in your home, lighting it during gatherings provides an intimate and cozy glow. If you have not used the fireplace in a while, make sure you open the flue. Then add newspaper and wood logs. Plan to light the fireplace 15-20 minutes before guests arrive. Arrange a festive soundtrack. Music is an essential component of any successful holiday party. Organize CDs ahead of time or make a digital playlist on your mp3 player so youre ready to push play and get the party started as soon as your guests walk in the door. Freshen up after the revelry. When the party has died down and its clean up time, check areas around the house for messy remnants from the celebration. In particular, carpets may appear dirty from heavy foot traffic. Sprinkle a liberal amount of baking soda over carpets, let sit for fifteen minutes, and then vacuum up. Baking soda will help neutralize any lingering odors in the carpet.

Thomas Edison and The Ghost Machine Truth or Dare

paper away from the strangers view. The stranger placed his hand on the assistants head and was able to call out every name on the paper. To confirm this was not a hoax, Edison asked if he could answer a question for him. The question he chose related to his storage battery. He wrote down Is there was anything better than nickel-hydroxide? The stranger answered No. There is nothing better. The mysterious man left without his calling card and never returned again. This incident gave Edison a more serious consideration to paranormal sciences and not to dismiss it as pure quackery. Edison met the famed medium Dr. Bert Reese. He thought Reese was a prodigy who had developed a new sense that all humans are capable of developing. Confirmation of Edison interests in determining if there was life after death appeared in a special January 23, 1921 New York Times feature story by A.D. Rothman entitled: Mr. Edisons Life Units Hundred Trillion in Human Body May Scatter After Death Machine to Register Them. Edison goes into details about his life after death theories and the apparatus that could register it. However, in final closing argument he denies that his experimentation has spiritual motives. He tells his audience during this interview: The grub when it dies splits open. A remarkable change occurs, a butterfly comes forth. I am investigating the butterfly existence of human life, but I have nothing to do with transmigration of souls. One is scientific; the other I know nothing of. Was Edisons New York Times interview a bit of the Wizards sensational chitchat or was it a media premiere to
by Michele Guttenberger here is a long running legend that Thomas Edison thought it was possible that a machine could be invented for the purpose of helping humans communicate with the dead. Whether Edison had actually worked on developing this machine is pure conjecture. If you ask those who give credence to paranormal sciences, they claim that Edison was serious in his claim and had something in development. If you ask an Edison historian the verdict is they were thoughts he gave some theory to. However, he left no records of any apparatus blueprints on application of these theories. In all the documents, notations and patent applications that have been archived and collected no one has found hardcopy evidence of its existence. Thomas Edison himself may be blamed on how these rumors got started. In a 1920 interview for Scientific American with B.C. Forbes (later founder of Forbes magazine), Edison was quoted saying: ...I am inclined to believe that our personality hereafter will be able to affect matter. If this reasoning be correct, then, if we can evolve an instrument so delicate as to be affected, moved, or manipulated...by our personality as it survives in the next life, such an instrument, when made available, ought to record something. Edison attracted many people from the scientific community and that included those involved in the paranormal who wanted to engage his attention. One day a clairvoyant stranger had walked into his lab claiming he could read minds. Edison allowed the stranger to demonstrate his abilities. Edisons assistant wrote some names on a slip of
new mind bending discoveries to come. To this day it still remains a topic for debate. Although, you wont find the Ghost Machine, there are many mind probing exhibits at the museum.

Energy Saver Tips Saving Energy and Money at Home & Business
Pay less for your electricity We have all been inundated with phone calls, emails and junk mail to switch to a different energy provider. Is it worth it? YES. Thanks to the deregulation of energy, you can now shop for a better rate. Just like the phone company and cable television, NJ, CT and PA and many other states have deregulated there energy market . Already, 40% of electric customers in CT and PA have converted to a different electric supplier and NJ customers are following this trend. In all the states mentioned, the local utility is still responsible for maintaining the existing wires, pipes and poles and billing. These new energy suppliers can provide the electricity at a lower cost than the existing utilities such as PSE&G, JCPL and ACE. However, when switching, beware, as some of these suppliers offer promotional rates which increase over time, have hidden fees and their rate does not include sales tax. Just make sure that the rate youre offered is the rate youll pay. Lastly some have penalties if you want to switch, so read the terms and conditions, shop wisely and start saving There are many ways to cut energy consumption and be smarter in the way we use it. By doing just a few of the things mentioned in this article you will be adding money to your pocket.
t used to be so simple. Just Turn the Lights Off! Now with technology and competition, its become a little more complex. According to the Energy Data Book, heating accounts for 31% of the average energy bill, followed by appliances and electronics at 27% and water heating at 12%. Saving energy can be divided into three areas. 1. Use less. 2. Be more efficient when you are using it. 3. Pay less for it. USING LESS. The average family can cut energy consumption by more then 10% simply by doing the basics. Turn off lights, use timers on night lights, and turn your thermostat down at night. William Curcio, Executive Vice President at Eastern Propane located in Oak Ridge, NJ recommends the following six simple energy saving tips which can help you conserve energy and reduce your familys home heating bills. CHANGE YOUR FURNACE FILTER MONTHLY. Clean filters help your heating system work more efficiently. DIAL BACK YOUR THERMOSTAT. You can cut annual heating bills by as much as 10 percent per year by turning your thermostat back 10-15 percent for eight hours per day. GET A TIMER. Investing in a furnace thermostat timer saves you money by lowering your homes temperature when youre not at home. KEEP JACK FROST FROM SNEAKING IN Reduce the air leaks in your home by caulking, and weather stripping windows, doors and other openings. SCHEDULE A TUNE UP. A properly working heating system is more efficient and will save you money. KEEP YOUR VENTS UNOBSTRUCTED. Arrange furniture and draperies so they do not block radiators, vents or baseboard units. The US Department of Energy recommends switching to more efficient lighting! BE MORE EFFICIENT. Switching to more efficient lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut your energy bills. An average household dedicates 11% of its energy budget to lighting. Using the latest lighting technologies can reduce lighting energy use in your home by 50% to 75%. Be sure to buy ENERGY STAR qualified. They will save you about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulbs lifetime. The top energy users for appliances are the refrigerator and washers, and dryers. When you shop for a new appliance, look for the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR products usually exceed minimum federal standards by a substantial amount. The Energy Guide label estimates how much power is needed per year to run the appliance based on the yearly cost. Many appliances continue to draw a small amount of power when they are switched off. These phantom loads occur in most appliances that use electricity, such as VCRs, televisions, stereos, and computers. Many people believe that equipment lasts longer if it is never turned off, this is an incorrect perception. Unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance can avoid these phantom loads.
