here in Talking Books would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has
been heeding our new phone messages and beginning their voicemails with their
full name, spelling their last name, and their phone numbers. It has been a tremendous help, cutting down
on the time it takes us to locate your accounts and enabling us to handle
messages quickly and efficiently. We
truly and sincerely appreciate your respectful observance of our instructions;
it means a lot to us.
those that are new to our program, or who may not have called our Front Desk
for help in a while, it really makes a difference if, when leaving a phone
message, you start the message with your full name, spelling your last name,
and your phone number with area code.
Our system does not allow us to use your street address to look up your
account, though your city can help in certain instances. But it is your full name and phone number
that actually make the process of finding your account work.
also important to remember that different staff member take shifts on the phone,
and there is a good chance you will talk with someone different in the
afternoon than you would in the morning.
Be sure to include any information in a present voicemail you may have
discussed with a staff member from a previous conversation. We try to note important details in your
accounts, but doing your part to help keep things straight has a massive impact
on our ability to serve you in a timely manner.
this fall the National Library Service's Web-Braille service will be merged
into BARD (remember, the B in BARD stands for Braille), making BARD the
one-stop shop for downloadable books in both electronic formats. Users will be able to download audio books as
well as electronic Braille books from the same source, eliminating the need for
separate login information and websites.
For our patrons that
have both a BARD and a Web-Braille account, this transition will be seamless. When Web-Braille is merged into BARD, you
will just need your BARD login information.
If you are one of our
patrons that just uses Web-Braille, you will need to create a BARD account in
order to access electronic Braille books after the merge. In order to do so, you can visit our website
at www.TBABS.org. There is a link on our homepage that will
take you directly to the BARD application.
Lastly, for our
patrons who just use BARD, don't worry. You
don't need to do anything. Your BARD
account will not be affected in any way.
However, the addition of Web-Braille to BARD will mean the BARD main
page will change a little to accommodate the new electronic Braille books.
appreciate your patience as these changes are made. If you have any questions, or run into
difficulties, please contact us at 800-452-0292 or firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll be happy to help.
the past few months TBABS has seen a lot of changes to our staff. As we reported in our last issue, Evelyn
Kimbrell retired in February after over 20 years of state service. We also have a new State Librarian MaryKay
Dahlgreen, who has been helping us through these tumultuous months. Now TBABS can report that we have hired a few
new faces ourselves! First, we'd like
you all to officially meet Melanie Lindquist, our new Reader's Advisory
will be working a lot at our front desk, responding to calls and emails to make
sure you all receive great customer service.
She'll also be taking over coordinator duties for our BARD,
NFB-Newsline, and Braille services.
Melanie comes to us from her previous job at Human Solutions, where she
provided customer service to homeless and low-income families. She has also been a living skills instructor
at the Oregon School for the Blind. When
she isn't at work Melanie loves to shop, read, bike, hike, and sing, and her
favorite authors to read are Robin Gunn, Nora Roberts, and Nicholas Sparks. She's also working on writing a book herself;
be sure to look for it on the NY Times Bestsellers List.
also had a couple of internal shufflings lately. Andrea Clarkson, our previous Circulation and
Volunteer Coordinator, has taken up the position of our Collection and Serials
Coordinator. To help keep circulation
running smoothly we promoted Erich Peppler to fill her position, and are hoping
to have a new Circulation Technician hired soon. Congrats Erich! Once we have all these positions filled,
it'll be the first time we'll be fully staffed in almost a year!
appreciate your patience as we continue to adapt to changes in staff, funding,
materials and equipment, and just about everything else it seems.
could not provide all the wonderful services you enjoy without your generous
donations! Here are 3 easy ways you can send your gift to help us so that all
may read…
1) Online with credit or
debit card at givetotbabs.org
2) Automatic monthly
payment from your bank or credit union account
3) Check made out to
OSL-TBABS and sent by post to 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301
year, we're also debuting a new way to donate to TBABS: Tribute Gifts. Ask your relatives to give a donation in your
honor to TBABS instead of giving you a gift this holiday season. You can tell
them we will use their donation to improve the quality of living for many
Oregonians who rely on us for Talking Book services. We will send you a notice
about their gift and send your relative a letter of thanks. Also, all donations
are tax deductible!
can also make a Tribute Gift in place of a present for friends and family. We will send you a gift card acknowledgement
to present to them. This discrete card
(your donation amount is not shown) will share with your friend or family
member the joy of sharing the gift of reading with others.
also like to encourage our Talking Books patrons to save a tree and send us
your email address. We will communicate
all future newsletters, Talking Books information, donation opportunities, and
more electronically. If you don't have
an email address, that's OK; we still send out announcements through the
regular USPS mail.
make a Tribute Gift, update your email address, or if you have any questions about
donations or adding TBABS to your estate planning, please contact Robin Speer
at 503-378-5014 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you.
stock of 2013 Large Print calendars has just arrived! All of our active patrons with a visual
impairment will receive one of these lovely calendars absolutely free (unless
you have previously opted out). If you
have a friend, family member, neighbor, or anyone else who is interested in
getting a calendar but is not registered with our services, they can send in a
donation of at least $15 along with a note saying they would like a calendar,
and we'll be happy to send them one.
stock of calendars usually runs out by mid-Spring, so if someone you know would
like a calendar, or if you are wanting to get an extra, be sure to send in your
donation sooner rather than later. We
also have Braille calendars for our patrons who would prefer one to the large print
donations we receive for the calendars go to printing costs, as well as funding
additional services like NFB-Newsline that residents of Oregon can enjoy
through our Talking Books program. We
rely a lot on donation funds, especially with the tight state budget, and we
sincerely appreciate the immense generosity of you our patrons past, present,
and future. Any contribution, no matter
the amount, has a direct and meaningful benefit not only for you, but for those
patrons to come.
conversations we've had with some of our patrons it appears there may be some
confusion about the way our current circulation system works. Since we're awfully keen on keeping everyone
on the same page, here's a little rundown of what you can expect from our
circulation computer system obeys what is called a maximum limit for each
account, which caps the number of books that can be checked out to an account
at a time. For all of our new patrons we
start this limit at 4 books, meaning they can have up to 4 books checked out to
them. A book is considered checked out
when it is in the mail to a patron, at their residence, or in the mail back to
us. Once a person gets comfortable with
our service, they can request to have their limit raised. There is no cost to raising your limit;
Talking Books is always 100% free no matter how many books you receive. However, staff here at Talking Books must
make changes to your limits in our system for you; there is no way to do so
are usually circulated on a revolving-door basis; as often as we check a book
in from you a new one goes out to you the next business day. There is no limit to the number of books you
can receive in a certain period of time (i.e. a month). There is only a limit to the maximum number
of books that you can have checked out to your account at any given time.
the limits for cassette books and digital books (for our patrons that still
receive both formats) are separate and distinct. Adjusting one limit will not affect the
other, unless you specifically request to adjust one limit but still receive
the same number of total books. We will
then make the necessary changes to reflect this request.
all this means is if you have your
maximum number of books already checked out to your account, our system will
not send you new books until you send the books you are finished with back to
us. This system helps keep people
from being inundated with books, cuts down on overdues, and maintains our
circulation at a manageable level. In an
effort to be good stewards of our funds, we have found this system to be
effective while still allowing for a certain amount of flexibility in special
we mentioned before, you are always welcome to adjust your maximum limit to
whatever you feel is most appropriate.
If there are times when you go a few days without books because you have
returned everything and are waiting for new ones, we suggest contacting us to increase
your limit so you have some books on hand while you're returning others. If at all possible be sure to return books as
often as you finish them so we can send you new ones. Books can be returned one at a time if that
works for you.
of our patrons have either returned digital books to us marked defective or
called in to report defective books because the books only report their
progress as "Prologue" rather than the chapter and time elapsed for where they pause
the book. We have received an
explanation of this error from the National Library Service, which we'd like to
share with you for your information.
turns out this error really isn't an error at all. The books that display this behavior are all
functioning properly. These digital
books have what is called 3-Point Navigation, which means that the book is
older and only has digital place markers for the beginning announcements (book
information), the beginning of the book (usually the prologue), and the end of
the book. Because these books only have
these three place markers, no matter how far you've read through the book, your
digital player will always report your progress as "Prologue" unless you are
just starting it or until you come to the end.
may be wondering what this new revelation means for you. What it means is so long as any book
continues to play from where you last left off, the book is functioning
properly, even if it always reports its progress as "Prologue." Now that we know this behavior is normal and
expected, we can start recirculating those books that were previously marked
defective. We do want to extend our
gratitude to our patrons for helping us identify issues, and for alerting us to
truly defective books.
that school is back in session, it's time for students in grades 3-12 to get
ready to BATTLE! Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is upon us. If
you are interested in joining your school's team, talk to your school media
specialist or English teacher. Books are available in grade ranges of 3-5,
6-8, and 9-12. Many of the books are available through Talking Books
either in Braille, audio, or on BARD, while some are only available from
Learning Ally (a separate membership is required). Check the TBABS OBOB
page at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/TBABS/Pages/or_bob.aspx
for a complete listing of all books and how you can get them. For more
information on Oregon Battle of the Books, visit the OBOB wiki at http://oboblsta.pbworks.com. Happy
reading, and good luck to your teams!
had a growing number of digital book mailing containers returned to us without
the corresponding cartridge inside, and we're hoping that many of these cartridges
can be found and returned to our library so they can be matched back up with
their container. Our circulation team
will do its best to contact you if we receive a container back without a
cartridge, but we'd also like to ask each of you to do a careful sweep of your
home or apartment to see if you can locate any loose or misplaced cartridges.
of our patrons find it easy to keep track of their books if they always put
them in the same place (i.e. a specific shelf or table) that is reserved for books
only. This way books don't get covered
up by other things or lost somewhere random.
you're having a hard time keep track of all your books and you feel like you're
getting too many, please let us know and we can decrease your book limit
accordingly. Thank you for helping us be
good stewards of our book and other materials.
mid-August, Braille International, Inc. (BII) ceased its Braille book and
magazine production. Since BII was one
of the National Library Service's largest producers of Braille materials, the
impact of this closure will be significant.
have been assured NLS Braille magazines should see little interruption in
service as the contracts for each magazine are transferred to other Braille
producers. However, the number of new
Braille books will be drastically reduced for the remainder of 2012. BII will only be completing the books they
have already started, and therefore NLS will have to negotiate new contracts
for each book that was scheduled to be produced in Braille.
books for our patrons will still be accessed through our Utah Braille
service. Older titles are still
available; this closure only affects new titles. The National Library Service (our parent
federal agency) appreciates your patience, and hopes to have new contracts
signed as soon as possible.TBABS CLOSURES
TBABS will be
closed on the following legal holidays and state office closure days:
October 19, Closure Day
November 12, Veteran's Day
November 22, Thanksgiving
November 23, Closure Day
December 25, Christmas Day
January 1, New Years Day

Long-Term Effects of Physical Abuse

Obviously this is a very personal matter. I can't believe I'm posting it here but I need to make myself. I'm probably going to regret this.
I have discussed before that I was physically abused and neglected as a jw child. The abuse did not start until jw got involved in our family. Obviously the jw abuser in my family was not forced to do it by the cult but clearly she was pressured to. Recently I had another one of those disturbing dreams and it has me thinking about the long-term effects.
This scholarly article has some interesting information but little seems to apply to me.
On pg 9 there is an interesting summary which names certain protective factors that predict better outcomes--cognitive abilities (interesting, I wonder why that would matter), returning to school (I did), and removal from the abusive situation during childhood (I wasn't).
This article talks about physical health problems in adulthood. Bingo. So I guess I somaticize it all.
So those are the consequences I generally don't have, what do I have? It's hard to figure out b/c I don't know what it's like to be a non-abused person. My guesses are a history of deliberately creating distance in adult relationships, even if it meant ending it just to avoid being too close, and a total lack of interest in being a parent (which IIRC did pre-date my jwism though), and my perception that life is a series of serial battles for justice to fight, and the one I'm going to win is always the current one. I also do not like physical affection from anyone but my husband. I dunno what that's about.
A few times I've punched people who startled me. At least one deserved it. I hate being in a room with my back to others. I am generally prepared for warfare--guns in the house that I know how to use, etc. I check my car for people hiding in there before I get in. There are alarms and lights on my property. I know a lot about laws--studied it in college--and have exercised my legal rights many times. In fact my profession is legalistic. I guess this is all related.
Please post your insights/experiences. Thanks

Hi Rebel 8 :-)
When something is so long term it is hard for the sub conscious to realize its gone. Especially triggers like being startled. Thing that have helped me is when my mind continues to take be back in time, I look around and evaluate where I am now. Am I really in danger?
Looking in the back of your car is just good common sense. But feeling a constant state of awareness and fear of abuse from an undefined source is not. It's over. But your mind hasn't healed yet. Do what you can get process and heal, and you will be able to feel some peace.
Much love and thoughts headed your way.

I was physically abused as a child, although not on a regular basis and not nearly as severely as many people here. I have never thought about my "issues" as being caused by or related to that abuse, I always just assumed I was weird. But I recognize a lot of the traits and habits mentioned above in myself. It seems that I have been able to build a relatively successful life for myself and my family, but I wonder what else I might have done without all that baggage weighing me down.

I hope you don't regret posting here. First of all, you may need professional help to get over some of your fears. It is always good to remain vigilant but I personally experienced that the world is not that bad out there and the majority of people are not out to hurt anyone. The fact that you can react violently to perceived threats is a big red flashing light with sirens that you're not over certain things.
As one of my posts makes clear, I have also been physically and mentally abused and the abuser has always been protected by the JW organization (head of household, do not spare the rod, don't go to the police as this will bring reproach on the organization's name, no JW eye witnesses...) even though my brother developed epilepsy, my mother had seizures (which were blamed on demons), me and my mother both attempted suicide and I was thinking of it a lot, I attempted running away, I developed drinking problems at 16, the school and doctors started noticing etc.
I've gotten over a lot of things but it will always have an impact. Write down what you actually would like to change (eg. affection from others, having to sit in the corner of a restaurant (I prefer that as well), always looking over your shoulder, having the feeling of being followed (I still have that as well), needing alcohol or drugs to calm you down in certain situation, always guarding your stuff and feeling someone is out to take it (I still have that)) and then make up a plan on how you will try to get over it. One thing you could do is just move over one booth or table in a restaurant so there's only 1 group of people behind you and get comfortable with it and for each point make up small steps you think you can handle and see how it goes.
Talk to your husband and friends and see if they can help you with anything. I found out people will accept you and help you out especially if they know your background. Talk about your JW-involvement and abuse even though it may be difficult and you feel embarrassed, most people will not scorn you for it but try to understand. I have a lot of people that asked me questions about the JW and one of my friends actually had a JW come to his door and he had an enlightening talk with them about the two-witness rule and the abuse in the church (they formulated some excuse and left never to return)

I don't want to minimize what happened to you in any way but the symptoms you mention are suffered by many people for many different reasons. I don't see how (or why) they should be attributed to past abuse.
I for one have many (but not all) of the symptoms you mention.

@IMHO I agree there are many reasons one could have these types of symptoms. Even though past abuse may not be the sole reason for it, the literature on the topic suggests that it can contribute to it (meaning there is statistical evidence that such people are more likely to develop it). Other reasons could be repressed memories of sexual or other abuse, the process of deprogramming from cult practices which likewise has an effect on ones social life, behavior and even sexual/lifestyle choices and preferences, adjusting to life outside a cult or without constant control etc. etc.
I am not qualified to give any suggestions regarding the reasons behind it and I suggest nobody does give suggestions as to what the reasons are or are not, only a mental health professional can find that out after a careful process.
I do suggest that if you have personal experiences and solutions or just something good to share that may help Rebel8 find some relief without going through (sometimes expensive) healthcare please do share. Sometimes all that one is looking for is to share their problems and they may not even need a solution just somebody that sympathizes with them.

"I hate being in a room with my back to others."
My husband was severely abused as a child by his single mother. When we go out to a restaurant he never sits with his back to the front if the establishment, never.

Rebel8---I was physically and psychologically abused by my JW father. I have some of these symptoms, but the one that bothers me the most is feeling like nobody likes me. I know that it is irrational. I know that there is always going to be some who like you and some who don't. Perhaps the real problem is that it really upsets me when someone doesn't like me. I'm starting to address it and changing my internal dialogue.
I tell myself that to worry too much about who doesn't like me is futile. I tell myself to do the best I can to be a good person, and not to care when someone doesn't recognize or appreciate it. I never realized how much the things I said to myself in my "brain conversations" were having an effect on me. I was constantly telling myself that I was stupid or ugly, or annoying. Really tearing myself down. I also have no interest whatsoever in having children. Have you ever analyzed the internal conversations you have with yourself? I would be interested to hear what you and others' who have been abused say to themselves, and if changing internal dialogue has proven effective in changing negative self images.

I can think of 2x I punched people who startled me, both about 20 yrs ago, grabbed me and I didn't know they were there.
I am more vigilant than others and do believe others who suddenly grab me without my knowledge are still at risk of being hit though. So is anyone who hits me. Fortunately neither happen.
The idea of writing down what I want to change is a good one. But...I don't want to hug people (ewww) and sitting in the middle of the room doesn't irk me enough to worry about it. Maybe the problem is I don't care?
I get nutty around the holidays. I tried to pick arguments and can't stop remembering fighting/abuse when I was a kid during holidays. I've gotten much better with this very recently by positive self talk. Not too long ago, I couldn't stop talking about it at xmas dinner though I badly I wanted to shut up. I probably ruined several xmas dinners for others.
the symptoms you mention are suffered by many people for many different reasons.
That is totally true, I realize.
I didn't mean to make this a thread all about me but I was genuinely wondering what others experience in the long term. Or maybe it all fades away?
Have you ever analyzed the internal conversations you have with yourself? I would be interested to hear what you and others' who have been abused say to themselves, and if changing internal dialogue has proven effective in changing negative self images.
Interesting. My conversations go something like, "People are idiots and it doesn't matter what they think. In fact if they dislike/criticize you it's because they're jealous/sad/hateful/don't like themselves/dumb/lack class/lack taste." Actually that's what they went like when I was a child. It's long been 2nd nature for me to not even consider what others think about me. I don't even think about it actually. I'm numb to it, to a fault. In my job I need to care a little about what others think and sometimes I totally disregard it.

Child abuse with the witnesses is something really hard because no one understands it, I know from personal experience, it is probably worse than being in the Vietnam war were many in service have developed post traumatic stress disorder. I have talilked to psyics, one says to me that I have ptsd under the worse case cinario ever heard of and doesn't understand how I have made it this far in life with out hurting myself or some one else and at the very least serving a life sentence in prison, but you know what has really helped me is knowing what it is that is bothering me, that is the key.
You will never get over it, there is no cure, but it is treatable... What happens is there are events that happen that remind you of the past and your body has a physical memory and the events trgger your physical memory and sometimes to me I have noticed that it is like stepping through a time zone or another deminsion or something then you start reliving the past experiences as if they are still hapenning when they are not. For me the best thing to do is assert myself work really hard on something and wait for it to pass and realize that it will pass. Don't loose any sleep over it, it is vital that you get your reast, and stay away from things that remind you.
You may need medication especially if you can not get your rest, I don't know you should consult a doctor on that. I think it is better if you can do it with out med.s myself, but again I am not a Doctor...
They usually prescribe seroquel and lexapro.
Be careful if you self medicate, that is pretty common for someone with ptsd to do. Stay away from the uppers...
I would like to have a big fat Doobby about now myself.

I hope you get the info. and insight you seek rebel, I have long been interested in how our formative years affect us, and if we can escape their effects.
We seem to be affected in such a strong and subtle way by our early life, and the way we were treated.
My father was not capable, due to his Autism, of understanding how other people were feeling, even his own children, I think that has affected me in a sort of reverse way, I am super-sensitive to the feelings of others, and hate to see them upset, or even slightly uncomfortable, I am the one to smooth over any "unpleasantness" as we stiff upper lip Brits call it.
My childhood was normal for its era really, apart from being raised in the JW's , so I was not abused in any way. I cry for the children like you who were , and I shed tears now for those who are abused in so many ways in the JW religion.
I wish parents could see the harm they are capable of doing, and replace that with the good that is in the power of their hand to give, namely unconditional love to their children.

and my perception that life is a series of serial battles for justice to fight, and the one I'm going to win is always the current one.
This was painful to read as it is how I have lived my life also. I must be vigilant as I must continue fighting to protect myself. I started to list what I have been through but felt too disgusted . What does it matter? My life has been forever altered by these experiences and while I have had a lot of therapy, having self respect after all this is not easy for me.
What I have from all of the abuse is what soldiers used to call " shell shock,PTSD and also dissociative disorder.
Here is an article I found to explain the difference , there is a link between them and they do overlap.
my life feels like being the redheaded bastard child at the family reunion , always fighting for my right to exist.

The only long term effect I cn think of in relation to severe physical abuse as teen by my non-jw father and in early adulthood by my jw huband is an exaggerated startle response. It happens every time someone suddenly comes up on me. As far as poor physical health is concerned, the more disabled I become, the more concerned I am with easy access to weapons at home and personal security measures.

I have read recently that in brain scans of adults who were abused as children, the brains showed the same PTSD as those of combat veterans. Yes, post traumatic stress syndrome is common in adult survivors of childhood abuse. I too have this. You don't have to have every symptom to have PTSD. But if you are a survivor, you have a lot of similarities. I always know who is in the room with me. Never sit without my back to a wall if I can help it, and have had to work for years on being ok if people don't like me. I was told over and over for too many years to count, that I was stupid, that no one liked me, that no one could ever love me, that I was bad, etc. That psychological component to the abuse will haunt you for years. I've had therapy, but you can never have too much to help you because it will always be with you at some level or another.
When I meet others with similar histories I always say they are in the club. You can always tell.
But hey, not only did we survive, but we are the most excellent people that we are today because of our past experiences. I'm not saying that is ok, but we are not responsible for what someone else did or said, just for ourselves. So cheers to all of us survivors.

Ada, I just found this page: http://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/pages/dsm-iv-tr-ptsd.asp
I don't meet the criteria for PTSD for the physical abuse, though I come closer if you include the medical neglect whereby I was allowed to nearly bleed to death numerous times. I hadn't thought about that. ETA: Nope, still don't meet the criteria.
I used to treat people for PTSD and am familiar w/grounding techniques, etc. but I don't experience those things myself. My empathy to those who do. (( ))
trueblue, are you suggesting we shouldn't try to help ourselves now because the Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy is going to delete our memories some day in the future? I assume you are posting that scripture because your jw inculcation taught you to, but please know that is kind of offensive.

Reviews for Sour Cream Pound Cake
Sort By :
"So good and moist. Best recipe ever"
"I have been looking for a good pound cake recipe - this summer I tried one with heavy whipping cream, the next with buttermilk, and then this one with sour cream. This one is the keeper!"
"Uh-mazing!!!! So fluffy and moist! I used lemon extract in place of vanilla and per other reviewers, I sugared THEN floured my greased tube pan. The crust is out of-this-world tasty!! Tastes exactly like a danish butter cookie, my favorite. Be sure to mix eggs in individually as directed, the texture is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Definitely making this again soon!!"
"I typically make a cream cheese pound cake. And it was requested for a birthday get together. However, I was out of cream cheese! Thank goodness for this recipe, it may be a new favorite!"
"Hello, I was wondering if anyone has used this recipe for a wedding cake. I want to use a 7'' pan 3 inches high .. no tube centre. will it cook ok and how long and what temp."

Listening to Frank Dullaghan reading his poetry is a new found Dubai Pleasure. His gentle and full voice is warming, at times funny, and a welcome addition to the Poeticians. I thank him for his smiling and serene presence at our readings.
Seeing The Light
by Frank Dullaghan.
How sophisticated these girls are,
thirteen or fourteen years old,
sitting in this coffee shop eating pastries,
conspiring together with their dark eyes
so that everyone else here feels like outsiders.
I swear to God, one says in her South Kerry lilt.
And whatever it is she attests to
they all bubble into laughter.
I broke the surface of the book I was reading,
to take notice of them – full of themselves
the way most of us are empty of ourselves,
throwing their light about this room
like they had batteries to spare,
globules of it landing on tables
where old men mutter to newspapers,
where a woman checks that she hasn't changed
in a little pocket mirror.
And one globule touches down on my table
between my poetry book and the salt cellar,
sits there pulsing, excited by its own luminance.
It would seem that I'm the only one to notice.
The girls have no regard,
incandescent as they are in their high voltage,
the only impossibility the old men believe in
is their own, and the young woman
reflects only on herself.
I pick up my gift
and place it on my tongue,
looking for that particular wisdom of youth
that would make everything possible again.

Two alternative ways of embedding human performance models into man-machine systems exist, namely embedding them directly into the man-machine interface or into the technical system proper as a decision support. The boundary between these two solutions is rather fuzzy and their simultaneous application could also be reasonable and effective.

ZELTIQ® Aesthetics is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ's first commercial product, the CoolSculpting® System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat bulges that may not respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. CoolSculpting utilizes patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as apoptosis, without causing scar tissue or damage to the skin, nerves, or surrounding tissues. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer within a treated fat bulge without requiring the patient to diet or exercise.

"Gracen & Gracen, spearheaded by its aggressive acquisitions policy, has a capital base of $14.8 billion, making it the fifteenth largest corporation in the world and a very exciting place to work, especially if you're willing to put in that extra time and effort it takes to get ahead. And there's plenty of room for career advancement as well, if you know what you want. I want to be President of Acquisitions."Aired (and quickly yanked) by Fox back in 1996, Profit told the story of Jim Profit, an immaculately-groomed, sandpaper-voiced sociopath with a twisted backstory, who was making his way up the corporate ladder of Gracen & Gracen Enterprises through a series of Machiavellian schemes.The show was created by David Greenwalt (Angel) and John McNamara (Lois and Clark). It was meant to be a modern take on William Shakespeare's Richard III: the show centered around Profit's quest for advancement and the several employees within the company who, realizing his true nature, try to get him arrested or (worse) fired.Special note should be given to the narration by Profit in each episode: it's done in a cheerful, inspirational, corporate-cliche-ridden style, which subverted as hell by his bribery, extortion, incest, kidnapping, identity theft, and occasional murder.Although the show was critically acclaimed, the series died a quick and sudden death because of low ratings. Only four of the eight episodes (seven hour-long episodes and the two hour pilot) aired in America, its country of origin; the complete series would air in Europe (it was particularly well received in France).This series has been singled out as being way ahead of its time. Later shows, such as Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, The Shield, and Dexter, proved that there was a market for sophisticated dramas about villainous protagonists.Compare to Showtime's Dexter, a more recent and far more successful show which has been likened to Profit in its questionable morality and use of voice-over, though Dexter's voiceover narration.Also notable as the last series to come from Stephen J. Cannell Productions (although the great man didn't create or write any episodes of this one).

Tea Party News
By Butch Morris
The Push for a Better America monthly meeting was held last Friday night and I must say it was a good one. We had a good turnout for our six guest speakers.
Larry Joslin was our MC for the evening. I spoke for the extension of the 1/4 cent tax for the Fire Departments. Kenneth Blan went over the state questions for us.
Carroll Bone from the Choctaw County Conservative group talked to us about the judges on the ballot. As Carrol pointed out, this is a tough one to research.

Of the nearly 44 million acres that make up Oklahoma, more than 12.6 million are forested.
These forested areas are beneficial to the state. Unfortunately, the extremely invasive eastern redcedars are spreading like wildfire into areas where they have no business, like rangelands and pastures. It was estimated in 1950 that redcedars and other junipers covered approximately 1.5 million acres of the state. By 1983, 3.5 million acres were taken.
AAA is warning motorists that this is the time of the year more deer will be on Oklahoma's roadways and to be on the lookout for them, especially at dusk and dawn.
"We're entering deer mating season and the time when deer are searching for food to build up fat reserves for the winter," said Chuck Mai, spokesman for AAA Oklahoma. "Plus, deer populations are high in Oklahoma right now – increasing the risk of car-deer collisions. Already this fall, motorists have tragically died in crashes with deer in the state."
Push for a Better America is holding its monthly meeting this Friday evening. We have a pretty good agenda prepared so we should have a good informative meeting. I would like to cordially invite you to this meeting.

Tea Party by Butch Morris
I had a good time at the Deer Festival this past weekend. I hope you made it to the fair grounds and found something that interested you.
I did duty at the Tea Party tent which was beside the Republican Party tent. We kinda helped each other. We were there stumping for the Republican candidates in the up coming elections. The Tea Party is behind these candidates because we believe that they represent conservative ideals and are prepared to stand up for these principals.

40,000 people die each year in car accidents. The leading cause of death for people under the age of 35 is failure to wear safety belts. Safety belts can prevent death in about half of these accidents.
Seat belts are required for the operator and front passengers per Title 47 12-417. Every operator and front seat passenger of a passenger car operated in this state shall wear a properly adjusted safety seat belt system, required to be installed in the motor vehicle when manufactured pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 571.208.
Push for a Better America held it's monthly meeting last Friday evening and we had a pretty good turnout. We also had some pretty good speakers.
The Republican party vice chair for Southeastern Oklahoma, Pam Pollard, addressed us on issues and efforts to elect conservative candidates.
John Fritz spoke for Markwayne Mullin, conservative candidate for District 2 congressional district. Markwayne couldn't make it down to see us in person this time die to prior campaign commitments. However, he has been here four times in the past year.

Wayne Rooney has revealed he asked Sir Alex Ferguson to take him off Manchester United penalty duties.
Striker Rooney blazed his latest effort over against West Ham last month, the second time this season he has failed from the spot.
Ferguson indicated he needed to make a change, and when United got another penalty against Fulham last weekend, it was Ryan Giggs who stepped up to put his side ahead.
But Rooney has revealed Robin van Persie, who did not start on Saturday, has now taken over as United's number one taker.
"To be honest it was my choice," Rooney told MUTV.
"It wasn't good enough. I went in to speak with the manager and said I'd spoken with Robin and told him he could take them.
"At a club like this, to miss two penalties like I did and not hit the target wasn't good enough."

Stein has edited books by Jonathan Franzen, Denis Johnson, Sam Lipsyte, Richard Price, and James Wood, and was once interviewed by Vulture. We just hope this means he'll update his headshot. [NYO]

Old Edition P 56:What's going to happen to us?
This issue has captured my imagination for some reason--my second comment in as many days (third actually if you count a comment on another thread on this website). For all of the doubters and hand-ringers out there, just buy the new edition. At ten bucks, it's the equivalent of a couple of trips to Starbucks. The work is valuable and Whitley's efforts to bring it to us then and now are well worth the support. Last comment (promise).
I didn't even want to touch on the intentional vs. accidental subject - not wanting to engage the 'doubters'. But since Whitley is clearly feeling the anguish of regret over not noticing the censored text, I want to put my two cents' worth in.....
In my job, I have to do a lot of proof-reading for material that is published to our website, pamphlets, etc. and after I sign off on the edits, it would never occur to me that our IT and/or communications staff would deliberately alter a PDF or Word document. It just doesn't happen. (Unless someone, somewhere, has the motive of sabotage).
Of course, you always give a cursory glance to the finished product, but it's more of a cosmetic check-up.....Does the text line up nicely? Did they use the right font? Are the headings centred? etc, etc. Then, you move on to the next project. You don't sit and obsessively re-read your own work. And even if you did, you just might miss the odd typo.
Enough said on that issue.
As to the timing of this new edition - it seems there is some possible synchronicity in this, and I'm glad Whitley can see that there may be a positive side. Maybe there are readers out there who need to pay very close attention to this material, and this will ensure that they DO pay close attention.
I guess my 2 cents turned into 3 or 4 cents.....signing off now :)
Whitley, Don't beat yourself up over this. Things happen for a reason and when they are supposed to. It may be more important that the censorship came to light now than it was for the original book to have been published correctly. I told a friend that I could sense you were in a dark place for more than a few days and I hope that the support you are finding here will help you out of that place. Perhaps there are going to be instances of a greater degree of attempted censorship of you and/or your material/messages coming at you soon. Now your headlights are on and it will be neigh on impossible for that to happen. That may be your lesson in all of this. I believe that everything that happens to us should be viewed as a lesson. Learn the lesson, move the knowledge to your soul, and dump the rest as baggage you don't need to be dragging behind you. As a P.S. to this post and take it for what it is worth to you (no worries from either of us if you totally disregard it): My Visitor Guide told me to tell you to be very careful who you trust for a while and to rethink those that you do trust now. You know you have my support and a little bump like this isn't going to change this. Hugs to both you and Anne.
Here's an article that takes an alternate view on the changes:
Any change to the text that were done without Whitley's knowledge is indeed a corruption. I agree with Whitley that the changes are subtle and brilliant. Perhaps the writer of the above article failed to truly understand this.
Let me follow up my previous post by letting you know that I have been an avid reader of your works. I do listen to your pod casts often and have for the most part enjoyed your style of presentation. So when I read your latest Journal entry I was honestly not to amused that someone I respect for standing up where so many have turned away came as a blow. Where I draw the line is when you cross it. I work in this arena also and know how to swim in it very well...so when someone I admire begins to go down a road I am all to familiar in seeing...I react. You mentioned The 2002 edition was secretly censored by unknown parties. In fact...and this may come as a surprise to many..."The Key",© 2001 Walker & Collier...was self-published through Whitley Strieber's own company, Walker & Collier. Printing of the book was performed by Whitehall Printing Co., Naples, Florida. I also noticed the first publisher you did have listed on your journal entry is now gone. Using Censorship as a tool is wrong. It could be as simple as an attempt to make the material more palatable for the readers in the new edition. It could be to stir up controversy. Whatever the reason...the subject matter calls for integrity if it is real. Any writer or artist in today's information society would have noticed his work manipulated early on and brought suit against the publisher or printer. 10 years is a long time to be quoting from your own works. So tell me you are filing some sort of legal action. Against yourself? I have not lost faith in you or stopped being a supporter...only cautioning you against going down a road that will mislead you...
This is directed to gary purviance: Whitley has explained what happened. We all knew the first book was self-published. That doesn't mean that he did all the work himself. It means that he paid that publishing company to publish what he sent them. There is no reason why between his submission of the work and the book actually coming out, that someone could not have altered it. He trusted them to do a job that they did not do. Why do you continue to beat him up about this? You again to caution him about going down some road, which I assume is the same one that you accused him of in your first post: greed. Then you couch you words by stating that you are still a supporter and have faith in him....geez, if those posts are what you call faith and support, one has to wonder what you do to your enemies. Kick any animals lately? I read between the lines and energy very well. I, personally, believe you have an axe to grind here that is different from your stated reasons for the posts...and that is to make Whitley look as bad as you can. The word "troll" comes to mind.
Look. Whitley is not an idiot. He has been working with publishers since the 1970's. "Walker & Collier," with all due respect, is nothing more than a paper-bound entity, a nominative business tool. A transitory thing you set up in the vanity press process. The First Edition of "The Key," that lies upon my desk as I write this, was published in 2001, when POD was in its infancy. Without the benefit of consulting Whitley or his personal business records, my assumption is he placed his personally edited manuscript in the hands of the Floridian printers without suspicion. And why would he suspect? Just my assumption... I believe what Whitley states is that between the time he made his editorial checks and the submission of the MS to the printer is where the mischief occurred. On this humble level of business, it seems to me infiltration would be pretty easy to exact. Again: assumption. Conspiracy theorists perk; skeptics pall. If it happened, it was at this juncture. (Note: If a pristine bullet can be found on the gurney that, many hours before, bore the body of JFK, then mere text altering is child's play.) Finally, Whitley has made it clear in This Very Journal Entry that anyone can use these corrections to annotate their vanity press edition of The Key. I see no profit motive or PR stunt in this. I see a man who has fostered a community doing his best to serve his community.
Remember the "Open Doors" and also that the floor resembles a chess board. This is all part of the game.
The Master of the Key never said that it would be easy. This is not a set-back, but a new opportunity.
I will still continue to support Whitley and his work. I have decided to accept him as he presents himself and take him at his word. That is honestly all we can do with anyone. It is all rather silly anyway. I do enjoy his journal and look forward to when he does make entries. I have always enjoyed how he writes and his passion. I am happy to withdraw my remarks and offer my apologies to all of you including Whitley.
Note to Gary - have you ever actually been in charge of proof-reading and editing? Also, are you completely void of empathy that you can't play out the chain of events as presented by Whitley and believe that things unfolded as they did?
Like I said in my previous post, any author, at the end of their project, having proof-read and double-checked everything for the umpteenth time would not in a million years suspect foul play at the printer's! Clearly, there was sabotage and clearly it's the last thing Whitley would have been looking for. As well, why would Whitley read his own book cover to cover? He wrote it! He has a full schedule - he likely was on to the next project the day after he sent the proof-read manuscript to the printer.
It's a no-brainer. Let's move on now :)
Glad to hear you're coming around Gary :)
I have a very accurate instinct for phonies, and I've never for a moment questioned Mr. Strieber's honesty. I don't enjoy this kind of posting. It seems juvenile. We can all do so much more with our thought energy.....
I'd rather be smelling the flowers, or gazing at the moon :)
This explains a lot. I had a weird feeling when I read it the first time, and then when I read it again recently, that something was being held back and that there was more going on. I would say that the changes are significant, and that some of them are the same passages that made me think that there was something that I wasn't understanding.
The idea of the dead coming back is very interesting. I look forward to "What is Coming", and can't help but think of an idea that is floated on the web every now and then about the 'end of the world' actually consisting of all times being experienced simultaneously instead of linearly.
If I were an intelligent machine, I would prefer the 2nd edition.
Can someone please email Whitley Strieber that there are a number of more edits that have been MISSED in his post above. Specifically:
Page 66 Old Key:
... if all the world was to pray in the same hour, the whole universe would hear you....
... ... if all pray in the same hour, the whole universe will hear you.
Also, at the end of same paragraph p. 66 Old key:
... These beings, though, they hunt you, body and soul.
...These beings, though, they even seek your souls.
These were noted on the message board, but no one seems to have notified Whitley about them. There is another as well.
This one seems to involve changed text that was moved out of place or it involves a chronological blip in Whitley's memory:
...You mentioned monsters in the world of the dead. [No mention of monsters appears earlier to this, BUT it seems to reference something said LATER on, in two places, both relating to regret, recrimination.]
Old Edition p. 23, instead of the above, it says:
.. What do the dead look like?
@sophie, Whitley addresses the "monsters in the world of the dead" question on the latest Dreamland at the 35:05 minute mark. He said he remembers asking him that question but doesn't recall exactly what the MOTK said about monsters previous to that question. Whitley stated: "I know he said something [about monsters in the world of the dead] but I just can't capture it. I can capture it in images but not in words..."
Whitley, while I am also confused by the lack of knowledge on your part, I am absolutely sure that there is no greed a work here. As you've said in the past, you were a best selling, gifted author of "thrillers" prior to the visitor experiences and could have made a FANTASTIC living had you not chosen your current path. If greed is your motivation, then you never would have pursued the mystery of the visitors, and all that came with it. As a result, I believe you've experienced a great deal of financial hardships, but you've always been true to yourself and to others. I'm thankful for having stumbled upon your works, and thankful to you for having forged a difficult path. I admire your bravery and hope for an opportunity in my life to approach fear with the same obstinence.
I've never posted on this site before, even though I have been a member of unknowncountry since it first started. I am frankly furstrated and cheesed off with the negativity aimed at Mr Streiber. I can think of many occasions that, with hindsight, I wish I had done somethink differently or more thoroughly and how bad I felt about not having done so first time round. The only place you get the truth is on this website, so why would anyone be so untrusting, suspicious and without empathy. As to the comment that no one will edit their old version of the key; I have an old copy of 'The Key' and will be marking up the revisions. I am grateful to Mr Streiber for providing us with the changes so that we don't need to buy a new copy.
Big hug for Mr Streiber :-)
In response to Gary Purviance's comment "Any writer or artist in today's information society would have noticed his work manipulated early on and brought suit against the publisher or printer". I'm not convinced this is the case; as a research scientist I have published many science reports; when the report comes back from the publisher for checking I make the automatic assumption that the text has not been altered (I also know that many of my colleagues assume the exact same thing). And I can honestly say that once a report is published I never read it again; why would I when I know it inside out.
I rarely post anything, anywhere, because I'm a low profile kind of person, but I just have to speak out on this issue.
I bought the first edition of The Key about 5-6 years ago and found it to be a vessel of extremely important, accurate and clear information. Today, when I first read Mr. Strieber's journal entry, I thought, OK, well there are plenty of careless people out there leaving behind destruction in their wake of thoughtlessness. Maybe the editor was an idiot. But, after I read the differences between the editions, I have to agree that this was not the result of some clueless cubicle dweller; it was intentional.
My heart is with you Mr. Strieber. To have someone do this to your most beautiful work is like waking up one morning to find someone has tattooed a small gang symbol to your neck during the night. It is nothing short of a hostile, invasive, destructive act. BUT, you have a new edition, so I'm going to buy 4 and send a copy to friends. I suggest other members do the same. Fight back, speak the truth, stand your ground. Thank you, Mr. Strieber for your strength, honesty and clarity.
It seems to me with regards to the conversation about the electronic or radio control (implants? Enhanced electrically) we are definitely talking about control of the population. If you take this a little deeper we could extend the meaning to also mean they are controlling the population by energetic or 'fields of energy' that are given off by cell phone towers, cell phones themselves, digital TV broadcasts and antennas, cable-internet anything that networks humanity together. This is exactly what the independent scientist Leuren Moret speaks about when she talks about the history and evolution of MK Ultra and the mind control programs, and how this morphed into the Haarp system and then it expanded into utilizing cell phone towers and TV towers to control the population. Perhaps those 'implanted with chips' can either be protected from those fields of energy or made more receptive to them. Imagine that when watching your TV you are not only receiving the audio / video signal but also another frequency that radiates out into the room. This radiation or frequency is on the microwave wave length and affects our brain waves and nervous systems AND changes our DNA. I often wonder what's really going on when they run those emergency TV 'tests' on occasion. Ms. Leuren Moret also speaks about the abilities of black programs/science to be able to locate new species by utilization of satellite technology because they know every living thing gives off a certain energy signature and that our DNA can be changed by applying a certain frequency radiating out from our computer montors while we are on the internet....
Would you ever considering releasing an annotated version of The Key that would further explain the meaning of The Master's answers to your questions? I find The Key a difficult book to digest because very complex ideas and concepts are explained with very compressed answers and I find myself saying "Wait, Stop! Explain what you mean by that!" The Key is written in the most simple and direct way a transcript of its kind can be, but for the average reader thinking about these concepts for the first time, they require much more background and relation to our own world to make sense.
Also, I'm curious how you were able to conduct the interview with no preparation? The questions, themselves are so deep and complex, I would think it would take days or weeks to prepare for such an interview. Moreover, the sudden nature of the interview in the middle of the night must have been jarring. Do you feel the Master helped you in some way, by helping to focus your mind on the types of questions to ask and the focus to retain what he was telling you?
Thank you for releasing The Key, but in its original doctored form and the new uncensored version. You have battled great adversity from within and without to reach this point.
Thockman: You can't read this book with your mind/ego, you must read it with your heart/soul. Your mind/ego seeks to control and confuse anything that the soul needs to understand. In other words, you can't 'think' about what is said, you must 'feel' what is said. For those of us that are used to spirits or manifestations appearing, this would neither be unusual nor dis-concerting. You have to be willing to look at the unknown with no fear or you will not be able to do this.
For those who requested a full list of changes:
Whitley, I have read The Key in the past and now I realize I must go back and read it again, but I must read the real edition that is complete. In listening to your interview with Jim, something struck a note of familiarity with an event that happened to me many years ago. I used to work nights at a Pharmacy in Austin Texas. One night a man and a woman, dressed totally in black, walked in to my pharmacy with a medical question. They struck me as someone I needed to take good care of and in payment, I would receive a special gift. That became true. Over the course of all the years I worked that shift, they kept coming back to talk. Let me say, the man was the source of a great deal of information and confirmation of knowledge I had been gathering over the years, while on my spiritual path. But, what you said that rang true with what my mentor said was the bit about the power of needed for creating the Radiant Body. The Radiant Body is something my mentor's Master achieves when he wants to be in that hyperdimensional form. I think these Masters are everywhere. I think they teach us in a quiet manner that is meant only for those who will listen and understand. As far as the Word.... it is like a roaring river to some who hear it... wrapped in a light so brilliant that it is like a million suns shining... Thanks for sharing your lesson from your Master.
I'm sure I speak for many when I say, 'I appreciate your frustration, Whitley.' There is but a small pocketful of authors that can be categorized as wealthy. The rest of us simply make a living. And for the record, I am glad and grateful to say I have both copies. The added comments in this new edition, and especially the rich prose in which it is delivered, make it well worth the few dollars spent. There's no conspiracy here, folks! Just a man of erudition plying his craft. Thanks, Whitley.
I bought the new one. I own both copies. Don't see the problem doing that. It was my choice and I do not regret it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card is definitely 'clean' and classy. The design and color is a sophisticated in person as it is online. I used the same theme for my wedding invites, menus,place cards, etc...and we received many, many compliments. The only negative is that the was not an indentation to easily fold the card, so it creates a faint wrinkle and is a little inconvenient."
"I ordered these cards for the thank you's for our shower! I love the paper they came on and the printing was great! They even changed the colors for me to match my wedding's (navy blue & pink). My only complaint is that they were much smaller than I had envisioned them being. Which is my fault for not looking more closely at the measurements. This may or may not be a problem for most depending on how long their thank you cards are."
"I am using these for my bachlorette thank you cards. I can't wait to mail them out. The color is perfect and the card is just perfect~!"
"We loved this card. It came SO quickly! The top border shows out of the envelope when your guests open it. Very simple, but very nice!"
"When I was initially asked to be in charge of the shower invitations, I thought "fine, I can do that" Then the bride to be called and said that she had found one online @ Wedding Paper Divas. I was terrified! This was going to be too much. I wasn't going to be able to figure this out. Don't you know that I don't text, Face, Space or download? I gave it a shot. This is fun! WOW, this is creative but you do the hard part. When my future daughter-in-law told me the next day that only 25 invites were needed; not 55 I called your Customer Service #. No problem. I love you!"

Behind the Scenes with Sahara Force India
- Thursday, October 23, 2014
Sahara Force India delivered another strong performance in Melbourne as Adrian Sutil and Paul Di Resta finished in seventh and eighth places respectively, earning the team ten World Championship points.
P7 Adrian Sutil
Tyre strategy: Medium, Medium, Super-soft
"What a fantastic race and a great feeling. I started on the medium tyres, a different strategy to most of the cars ahead of me, and I think this was the right decision. The pace was quick and the car felt very good on the medium tyres so I was able to keep up with the guys in front of me, who I knew were going to pit early. It was not long until I was leading the race – my first time leading in Formula One. After my second pit stop I was back in the lead once again, so I knew that it was possible to come away with a great result. My final stint on the super-softs was much more difficult because the tyres started graining and I lost a few places. I was thinking I might need to pit again, but fortunately the tyres came back to me for the final few laps so I could save the seventh place. This result for the team is a perfect way to start the season and I want to say a big 'thank you' to the team once again."
P8 Paul Di Resta
Tyre strategy: Super-soft, Medium, Medium
Paul: "Seventh and eighth for the team is a great result and a great way to kick off the season. We've shown we have a car that is kind on its tyres and that helped us today by making less stops than some of our rivals. I feel I had a car that could have finished seventh, but I was stuck behind some of the three-stoppers at the start of my second stint, and that cost me quite a lot of track position. There are a lot of positives to take from the race, as well as some things that we can improve to make the car stronger, but we're in a good position heading to Malaysia."
Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal
What a great team performance to start our season. Ten points is a great effort and confirms the pace we have demonstrated all weekend. Adrian's return to racing has been fantastic and it's clear he has lost none of his speed or racecraft. He was on a different strategy to most of the front-runners, but made it work beautifully and showed strong pace throughout the Grand Prix – even leading for 11 laps. Paul was on the opposite strategy and finished just a fraction behind Adrian in the end. He probably could have passed Adrian in the closing laps, but he held station to ensure we brought home the strong team result. We said over the winter that we needed a strong start to the year, so hopefully we can build on this next week in Malaysia."
Good come back Sutil. U will be on the podium this year as u hoped.
Well done Adrian
(cont.) Adrian lost 7 positions just because of the tyre's , that is lot of points. I hope we can produce stronger performance in Malaysia. Team is pumped up with 10 point-opener, let hope for podiums in coming days.
(cont.) Tyre wear is also depended on driver styles, maybe reassessing each drivers driving styles will be effective step towards planning Tyre strategy. Its time that we rejoice on the podiums we have won and not on the number of laps we have dominated ( I am not being harsh , but we really can step up our performance with good race strategy ).
A Podium was all set, if not for the last supersoft's which has repeatedly shown us short life and faster wearing during good conditions. I think we should foresee the perfect Tyre strategy for every race. We lost podium in last 2 races because of a wrong decision (2013) and an driver's error (2012 but very unfortunate). We have the pace and i think we should give enough time for driver in Qualifier rather than giving them the last few minutes in Q2 and Q3 .
Well done to all at SFI. I'm a bit confused - Is Sutil pronounced Sootil or Sutil, only different commentators on TV seem to pronounce it different
Congratulations SFI! Fantastic start to the season!
