Rubens Barrichello can boast of being a race-winning championship leader with a contract for next season -- the only pity being that he is not talking about Formula One.
"This weekend I won my first virtual race, which was great. It's amazing how competitive it is," the 39-year-old Brazilian told reporters at last weekend's Italian Grand Prix where he finished 12th. "It's called STCC 2, which is the Swedish touring cars. I've done four races now and I'm leading the championship. That's quite fun. "I drive a Volkswagen Scirocco and I am contracted for next year already," he added. The picture in Formula One is less clear-cut. The virtual world of racing, against rivals such as compatriot and Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, has provided a welcome distraction from the problems on the real racetrack. "It is so professional. You have to look into the wind, the track conditions, you might go to the grid and you cannot go back to the pit and it's raining and you are on slick tyres. You have to be so precise," he said of the virtual world. "It's really unbelievable and its HD. "I am racing all against the guys from Brazil who race in stock cars. Massa is racing as well. there are 65 of us in the championship and then there are the guys who have been doing this for 10 years now. "I love the internet. I do poker games and people don't know me, which is fun. But this one is just so damn professional," added Barrichello.
It's not all glamour for the Formula One drivers who endure demanding conditions while in the cockpit. They're subjected to incredible wear-and-tear. HT reveals their fitness regimens.

VaporSorb™ Got Rid Of Perfume Smell From My Cubicle, Reviewer: Peyton G. (Charlotte)
I work in an office setting and have my own cubicle. Unfortunately, the person who resides in the adjacent cubicle uses a strong perfume that was making me sick since I'm sensitive to scents. This was a complicated issue since neither the office manager nor I could tell her to stop wearing the perfume although I hinted at my problem. Finally, I decided to find out if there was anything I could do in my work space. Luckily I found a blog post on VaporSorb™ Reusable Vapor Absorbing Pouch discussing how people used this product to get rid of perfume scents. I was so encouraged that I bought a couple pouches immediately and placed them in my cubicle. To my delight, it made such a difference that I was not smelling the perfume anymore and could focus on work again. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to get rid of perfume smell.
VAPORSORB™ you Helped Me Get Rid of Diesel Fumes! , Reviewer: Hanna (Ridgewood)
While storing diesel in the garage of my home, I accidentally spilled some on the floor and the stench engulfed the entire area and even started permeating our house. My husband used VAPORSORB™ VAPOR Absorbent Pouches and they worked great for eliminating the awful diesel odor! This is a remarkable product! I am planning to buy more of their products because we also have a few pet odor issues. They seem to have a deodorizer for every smell!
Gas Smell Vanished from My New Care!, Reviewer: Paris M (Portland)
Unfortunately, I spilled gas in my new car and was at wits end. I didn't know what to do after several failed attempts using home remedies but then I discovered VAPORSORB™. I set one pouch in the front and one in the back and prayed! To my delight, it worked really well. I was a little hesitant to use it initially but since I had tried my hands on everything from lemon to baking soda, and I thought, 'why not give it a shot'? And fortunately it worked. The gasoline smell just vanished completely after about 10 days and now I'm back to enjoying my new car again. Thanks once again!
VaporSorb™ Eliminates Solvent Vapors in University of Minnesota Chemistry Lab!, Reviewer: Sravan J (Duluth)
I am Sravan from the University of Minnesota. I have used VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouches to absorb and eliminate various solvent fumes since 2009. I have been using them in flammable cabinets, where we usually store solvents in our Chemistry Research Laboratory. I have observed a considerable decrease of solvent vapors in our labs since I started using VaporSorb™. I am very satisfied with the product and the excellent results it produced. They worked well for almost five months, in spite of heavy solvent storage. We have reordered VaporSorb™ several times. We are a regular customer for this environmentally safe product and will continue to use VaporSorb™ on an ongoing basis to eliminate hazardous solvent vapors and improve safety in our labs. Sravan J University of Minnesota, Duluth, MN
Vapors are Gone! , Reviewer: Zeny Hirst (RPC Technologies)
We received our order of VaporSorb yesterday and installed it. So far so good. I can't complain about the smell in our office anymore. Our office has 5 divisions including a reception, kitchen, storage area and two bathrooms. VaporSorb completely eliminated the nasty odors and we are very satisfied now.
Order Risk Free
When you purchase the VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouch, you do so at absolutely no risk. It comes with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed warranty. If it fails to perform according to its specifications or is defective, it will be replaced immediately.
Control Harmful & Hazardous VaporsMany materials can emit harmful vapors and fumes during storage and saturate the air with dangerous chemicals especially in small, enclosed areas like safety storage cabinets. In addition, this could also result in a serious fire hazard.
The VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouch can be effectively used to absorb, neutralize and encapsulate various vapors and fumes for safe disposal. VaporSorb™ will truly cleanse the air of noxious vapors, complement existing ventilation systems, and create a safer environment.
For a breath of fresh air, simply hang one or more reusable VaporSorb™ pouches near the odor or place in return air ducts and smell the difference. To rejuvenate periodically, simply place outdoors in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help. VaporSorb™ can work for years so it is very cost effective.
VaporSorb™ is non-toxic, safe, reusable, recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. VaporSorb™ is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating dangerous vapors and fumes without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of VaporSorb™ vapor and fume removal media.
Vapor Problems
Various combustible, flammable and noxious vapors can be generated in normal industrial and commercial operations. Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Noxious vapors are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe. Over time, they could increase in concentration in manufacturing areas, storage cabinets, chemical storage areas, etc., and result in a serious fire hazard as well as an indoor air pollution problem. This could lead to complaints from customers as well as employees and OSHA fines.
According to the EPA, "indoor pollution can be as much as 100 times greater than outdoors." Since most people spend close to 90% of their time indoors, indoor air pollution poses a serious health risk. Medical problems that have been associated with poor indoor air quality include dizziness, headaches, eye nose or throat irritation, dry or itchy skin, nausea, shortness of breath, difficulty in concentrating, fatigue, sensitivity to odors, allergies, depression, and chronic illnesses.
The Solution
The VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouch was specially developed to remove harmful vapors from the atmosphere by adsorbing, neutralizing, and encapsulating them on contact for safe disposal. VaporSorb™ is non-flammable and will reduce the explosive nature of whatever gas it adsorbs. Furthermore, it can reduce the aggressiveness of smoke and hazardous vapors that are captured. VaporSorb™ will truly cleanse the air of noxious vapors and complement existing ventilation systems. It works quickly, efficiently, cost-effectively and results in reducing the health risks associated with vapor build up.
How VaporSorb™ Works
The VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouch is a natural highly absorbent material that can be used to eliminate noxious vapors. VaporSorb™ is negatively charged whereas many vapors ride on positively charged particles. As a result, VaporSorb™ draws in vapors like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the vapors without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of VaporSorb™ is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives VaporSorb™ an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables VaporSorb™ to adsorb phenomenal amounts of vapors and work for months.
Environmentally Friendly
The VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouch is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, and non-scented. It is an ideal environmentally friendly product for eliminating vapors and improving indoor air quality. VaporSorb™ does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.
VaporSorb™ can be effectively used by all types of industrial and commercial facilities to adsorb vapor from any enclosed area. Typical applications include:
For a breath of fresh air, simply remove the plastic cover, place VaporSorb™ pouches in the area to treated, and notice the difference. Use one or more pouches for every 300 square feet. This product will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. spills and open containers) and clean the affected area prior to treating with VaporSorb™. For extra effectiveness, use this product in conjunction with VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Granules.
Rejuvenating, Reusing & Recycling
The VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouches may be reused repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. Rejuvenate the pouches weekly until a noticeable decrease in vapor and fumes are detected. Thereafter, rejuvenate them every 3-4 months or when vapor and fume levels increase. To rejuvenate, simply place the pouches in direct sunlight for a day and reuse.
The unused VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouch is non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this will change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances and should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
Reusing and Recycling VaporSorb™ Products
VaporSorb™ is unique and superior to other vapor control products and have more combined environmental and safety benefits then other vapor and fume control products on the market.
VaporSorb™ is non-toxic, safe, reusable, recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. VaporSorb™ is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating a wide variety of odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of VaporSorb™ vapor control media.
How to Rejuvenate VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouches
VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouches may be used repeatedly after periodically rejuvenating them. To rejuvenate, simply place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Rejuvenate the VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouches weekly until a noticeable decrease in odor is detected. Thereafter, rejuvenate them when vapor levels increase or every 3-4 months. There is no set limit to the number of times the VaporSorb™ Vapor Absorbent Pouches can be rejuvenated and could work for years so they are very cost effective. The actual number of times VaporSorb™ can be rejuvenated and its actual life span will depend on the vapor concentrations, temperature, humidity and velocity of air flow it is exposed to. Replace the pouches every 3-4 months or when rejuvenation fails to work.
How to Recycle VaporSorb™
The unused VaporSorb™ vapor control media are natural, non-hazardous and environmentally safe. You may remove this material from the pouch and apply to gardens, flower beds, yards, fields, potting soil and plant beds with thorough watering. It will act as a slow release fertilizer and help retain soil moisture.
Recycling Precaution
If VaporSorb™ is exposed to hazardous or toxic odors or pollutants, it will be considered as such and should be disposed according to all relevant local, state and federal regulations and not recycled as described above.

TOM: I just purchased a home in Florida. It's a corner lot at 4 way stop sign. The fumes are bad and making me sick. I can't open the windows. How can I solve this bad air problem? ANSWER: It sounds like the problem can be attributed to the car fumes generated from the traffic. I would suggest placing VaporSorb™ Vapor Neutralizing Pouches in each room with the fume problem to remove the chemical vapors and odor. In addition, place a pouch on each cold air return vent of your AC system so that the air will be continually filtered and cleaned while its recirculating. You can also place a pouch or two next to your main particulate filter if you have room there.

JO ANN: I have a jeep SUV and I spilled gasoline from a can I was bringing back from the gas station for my snow blower, onto the carpet. I also left the can in the vehicles for a few hours by mistake. When I opened the vehicle door to remove the gas can, it reaked of fuel. I cleaned up the spot with a water based carpet cleaner and soap. But the smell is so bad I still cannot stand to drive the vehicle. I tried airing it out and filling it with boxes filled with baking soda and kitty litter. No help. It has been 5 days, and being winter, I can only open the windows for so many hours in a day. What product can you suggest to help the vapors smell out of the vehicle? It seems to have permeated even the upholstery from the gasoline smell. I am so mad about this and so sick about it. Just awful. ANSWER: Sorry to hear about your problem. Gasoline spill odors are hard to remove but we can certainly help I would recommend sprinkling SMELLEZE Deodorizer Powder on the carpets and seats, leaving overnight to draw the gas odors out, and vacuum. Repeat as necessary. Thereafter, place VAPORSORB Reusable Vapor Absorbent Pouches in your Jeep to remove the remaining gas odors that would have been absorbed on headliners, dashboard and sides. This is a reusable product that can be used until all the odors are totally eliminated and will work fine even at sub-zero temperatures.

They are well made and sturdy, with a better and stronger than expected aluminum frame. The comfortable seat and back support are also larger than most camp chairs, yet the unique design gives you the option of folding them completely to make storage easier. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I ordered two, but may order more later.Date published: 2014-08-12Rated 3 out of 5 by STEVEN from Good but heavy. This chair is aluminum--half according to my magnet and the rest heavy steel; about twice the advertised weight of 8 pounds. Good comfort, but you won't want to carry a couple of these to a concert or very far. Great for camper camping or hunting camp. I wish someone would make these all aluminum and lightweight.Date published: 2014-08-11

In Trauma and Sexuality, I wrote about sexual healing being a taboo subject in both the literature and in therapy. Not many want to talk about it. Yet it is one of the main areas where childhood sex abuse victims were damaged. It is my contention that since the problem is not addressed directly in the literature and hard to bring up in therapy, that we all tend to discuss the issues tied to sex in an unconsciously masked kind of way. We can talk about being hurt sexually and what was done to us (and think we are talking about sex directly). About being suicidal. Depressed. Triggered. Switchy. And on and on.
But, while all of these are important to talk about, none talk about our relationship to sex in the present. Many of these are symptoms of what is a core issue in the present. So I like to face it all head on. What is our relationship right now to sex? How is sex in the present dysfunctional? How is sex in the present hurting us? Helping us? Recreating? Overcoming? And how do all these questions about the present relate to the past?
I understand, I think, the essential barriers to talking about sex, even in the "safe" confines of the therapy office. For those of us sexually abused as children, we focused on hiding the fact that we were being hurt in that specific way. It should not be hard to appreciate that this is fertile ground for creating shame and guilt; stains on our soul which stay with us through adulthood and whose purpose seems to be only to deny us from seeking healing of any kind (or even thinking we are worthy enough to heal).
Not to mention those of us who were sexually abused were generally taught (we generally call them "the rules") to behave a certain way in dealing with sex, through a number of manipulative means. As with any kind of learning, neuronal circuits are formed. Sex abuse ties in with reward, pleasure and fear circuits in the brain moderated by powerful neurotransmitters like dopamine. Literally, there is an imprint on our brains. These imprints are terribly difficult to heal from. But we can heal from them if we deal with them directly instead of dancing around the perimeter. It is very easy to dance around the perimeter, however.
My belief is that the first step in sexual healing is acknowledging the original sexual injury, and that it is an injury in the present. The second step is being able to break down some of the guilt and shame barriers to talking about the subject. But there is more.
Obviously, each of us were affected in different ways sexually. Some become hyposexual and just run away from sex. Some become hypersexual. Neither of these extremes is necessarily bad as long as you are comfortable in them. But most of us are not comfortable with who we are sexually and this is why it is an area we must heal. It is unavoidable.
To further complicate matters, many of us use sex to recreate and perpetuate our abuse, whether it be through fantasy or in real-life, though I do believe there is a marked difference between the two. In the literature, re-enactment is a more commonly discussed sexual outcome. In these situations, we are continuing the cycle of abuse by placing ourselves in psychological or physical situations harmful to us. It can often be a way to resolve an intolerable conflict around control of our bodies, or to maintain an outcome we expect, to cement core beliefs of worthlessness, and on and on.
I think of all of this in terms of neuronal imprints and in terms of being a way to manage overwhelming feelings. I believe it is probably likely that the degree of re-enactment is correlated with degree of dissociation. With dissociative identities, parts were created for specific purposes and roles which are harder to move out of. Further, it is easier to realize how re-enactment solves certain problems—like being able to tolerate overwhelming feelings of "parts" of us—while isolating other parts of us who are traumatized by present-day behavior.
These are explanations and not excuses. Since, in most cases, the original abuse is not happening anymore, we are responsible for our behavior. In this case, I think it is most aptly labeled as self-abuse behavior.
When one is able to label one's own re-enacting as self-abuse, then the third, perhaps the most important, step in beginning to achieve sexual healing is reached. We can achieve this only when we realize that the "positive" effects of recreating our own abuse are dwarfed by the negative effects. And this takes a good deal of self-awareness and brutal internal honesty.
If we keep these three steps in mind—acknowledging original injury, overcoming guilt and shame, and labeling re-enactment as self-abuse—then we are making a great effort to heal. The prognosis, I think, is good.
While sexual healing may seem daunting, the good news is that once you have achieved all three steps, there is no going back. Yes, there are "setbacks", but once you gain awareness, you cannot lose it, you can only temporarily misplace it.
A huge disclaimer here goes without saying: I am not an expert. This post is based on my personal experiences and interactions with other survivors over the past 20 years. It is not meant to be a comprehensive, or even necessarily scalable view on the sexual effects of abuse. I think there is a good chance it may be quite scalable. But I do not pretend to assert that as fact.

Hi Paul
I think you do a good job of laying out the facts and the outcomes. Personally, "acting out" for me is a matter of feeling powerful or in control. If I can't get to a place of feeling powerful or in control then I will dissociate and in those cases sex is non existent as far as I'm concerned. I have no memory of it, no sense that anything has happened and so as far as my inner timeline is concerned it has not happened.
I recently got to a place of trust with my therapist. In reaching that kind of trust I have finally confided things that feel very shameful to me. In looking at them from the outside they may not seem so shameful or awful, but to me that is how it feels. These behaviors are necessary for me to feel in control, but they are not behaviors I want to continue. Looking at it as self-abuse is an interesting twist to put on it. Because these behaviors do bring up shame I can see that it is self-abuse to continue with them. On the other hand, if these are the only things that "work" then it might also be abusive to deny myself behaviors that are not harmful to anyone else.
I am being very evasive here, I realize. These are not things I intend to share beyond what I've told my therapist. It was hard enough to confide in her and last week was the first time we "discussed" it at all. I put that in quotes because it wasn't much of a discussion at all. She asked me if I wanted to talk about the email I had sent her. I felt cornered and immediately felt a shift to a child part coming through. I nodded, however, feeling that this was the right thing to do. Then I said, "I wouldn't know how to begin."
She said, "Why don't you begin by saying it out loud."
This brought on a complete shift, although I was co-conscious. I know that I gave an emphatic NO to that suggestion. Instead, we worked a bit with DNMS to try to bring out why I was so completely against the idea of even saying it out loud.
I don't know how far we came with that approach. Honestly, it feels as if it is a maze that I will be lost in for a good long time to come... and maybe forever. I'm not sure I can find my way through this one. As you said, connections are made in childhood when sexual abuse is involved. Those connections - neural pathways - have been there for almost half a century in my case, and its hard to imagine that I could create a new path and follow it in the future. Maybe it is possible... I just don't know.
What I do hope to accomplish is to at least get past the shame. I am tired of feeling shame for things that happened TO me. Even though the "acting out" is an ongoing thing, it is not really as if I made a decision to behave in these ways when I was a child and often it does not feel as if I have a choice now. One gets carried along the familiar route.
A very difficult topic to discuss. Thank you for being brave enough to post about it here.
Thanks, Shen, for sharing what you did. I can imagine that it was hard to say even what you did. It was important for me to put this out in the open, even though I was kind of evasive too. The point, for me, was to address the subject in a respectful way (i.e., without being graphic or unnecessarily triggering). I understand about the "power" and "control", I didn't specifically address these as these are a bit harder to call "abusive" depending on context. But, in my mind, they are abusive if they make parts of you feel hurt after (and I don't mean parts in a DID kind of way). Even if it works. It's a hard call because it's like the difference between taking the prescribed amount of medicine for anxiety versus regularly taking more than we are "supposed" to help us through. It's all in how it makes you feel after. If it induces shame and guilt, even to only parts of us, then it's harmful. This is what I meant when I brought up "brutal internal honesty". If we are truly, all of us inside, okay with behaviors then it is probably okay. I don't have an issue with sometimes taking more Klonopin than I'm supposed to. I can justify it to all of me. But many other things I cannot begin to justify.
And that is exactly why I finally came out with it all to my therapist. Shame is not what I want or what I deserve, so in that way, yes, it is abusive if I am causing myself to feel that way.
That's really great Shen! I'm serious: once you've overcome the hurdle to talking about it, it changes everything. When your therapist said, "Why don't you begin by saying it out loud", she was so right on point. I know it's easier for her to say than you. But you overcame the barrier and that's so good!
I am working on addressing those three areas you mention Paul, and it feels like I'm going backwards, not forward.
The following is an excerpt from a poem written yesterday. To me, it shows how deep the problem, behaviours and issues can be...
Go to your safe place... her only safe place is being fucked.
That's what she knows.
That's where she's wanted.
That's where she's comfortable.
It feels as if there are parts of me hardwired for the abuse - similar to what you are describing with the development of the brain pathways.
I'm struggling to see a way through this... I've often said that I survived the abuse, now I have to survive me.
Thank you for bringing up such an important, but often overlooked (or misunderstood) part of healing from childhood sexual abuse.
Take care,
Castorgirl, Thank you for your honesty. Yes, I totally understand this point of view that you write in your poem. This is why it's so hard. What I want to say back to you is that I think you really are going forward. I will tell you why, and I've said this before. For one, you even read what I wrote. Second, you took the time to think about how it resonates with you. Third you wrote about that here. So, you are working on things. I stand by my belief that change comes if we continue to work at it. The only way we will not heal is if we don't try and you are trying. Progress may not be going fast enough, and things may appear to be going in the wrong direction. But I know if you keep at it you will get to a much better place than you are at now.
Paul, this is such a difficult topic, and you have dealt with it in a responsible and respectful way.
I have also reached a position of trust with my therapist where I can talk about anything and everything about sex, including that which is shame-inducing for me. She has helped me see the bad things about sex in the past - both what was done to me, and what I did to myself. She is also helping me learn what "good" sex is - respectful, nurturing, loving, and not self-abusive - and where the lines might be because of my particular situation.
I really like what you say here: "in my mind, they are abusive if they make parts of you feel hurt after". That lesson has taken me a long, LONG time to learn, but you've just clarified what I've known for a while but not been able to put into words. Thank you.
Kerro, I'm glad that you have this trust with someone. And glad that you are not shying away from an important topic.
I wasn't sexually abused I'm very glad to say. So, it's probably presumptuous for me to comment.
I think at the third stage there needs to be recognition that we did the best we could at the time. That there are now other (safe, pleasurable) ways to get what we need.
Thanks Evan. Not at all presumptuous. Your comments are always spot on. Personally, I saw the "first" stage I mentioned, recognizing the original injury, as being tied to what you are saying about doing the best we could at the time. The last comment about other pleasurable ways to get what we need may be a little off target, at least in terms of what I was saying. In fact, this was the point I was trying to make when I brought up the neurobiology. These neuronal "pleasure circuits" are hardwired. But if you are talking broader, like in terms of all of what life has to offer, then I see your point more clearly.
This is a really difficult topic and I'm far away to understand it. For example, I never, really never could consciously remember having sex. Meanwhile I know, that I had always switched. There are parts in my system, who always take over, that's their only task. This was taught to them by the perps. They want it. These parts know nothing else :( Sometimes they even search for it :(
It became a little better, since my therapist was able to speak with such a "special" part and explained to her what happened in the past and what happens now, when she acts in such a way.
It always causes many, many troubles for the system :( With their behaviour, they hurt other in the system. It's so difficult to communicate with these parts. I can only hope that they listen in the therapy sessions and learn something new.
I don't want it :(
Hi LostShadowChild. I'm sorry this is hard for you, like it is for so many. I'm glad you've talked to your therapist and helped to understand this for you. The hardest part for me is knowing I don't want it yet accepting it. Because only when you accept it can you hope to change it.
I referenced this post in my blog, today, Paul. For me, you are right on target.
Thanks Shen for saying I was on target. I hesitated to write about this because, while important, I didn't want to distress anyone.
Hey Paul, Shen and everyone else who wrote. I see alot of progress in all of you. I know the sexual abuse that occurred...I also know how I acted it out in my life...I attempted to draw in men thru sexual attraction and looks. I believed that that is the only way anyone would want me. I was very young at the time of my abuse but was able to notice that this key person in my life was nicer to me and treated me better when he wanted to abuse me. But being so young I didn't know it was abuse...I just thought that this is what happened to little girls. I know these things and learn more about them all the time but I just can't seem to take ownership of them. I have parts that handle all this stuff. I become more and more aware of stuff and parts but I can't seem to own anything. I try to tho. It is like it happened to someone else...I just don't feel anything. I hesitate to write sometimes cuz I think I am slow with this or way behind all of you. I admire all of you...I just wish I could get into this but everytime I try I get terribly dizzy and lose time. Not alot of time...it varies. I am trying but the feelings part of it all just seem to be further and further away. Thanks for the post...and the comments...it is always helpful and informative!
Nansie, thank you for writing. I have been wondering how you are. Wow, that's a big piece of awareness. When you said your abuser treated you better when he wanted to abuse you, that set off a bunch of lights in me. I think that was mostly true for me. I think that's part "grooming" but also maybe it was their way of rationalizing and thinking it was okay and overcoming guilt. Funny you also said that you didn't realize it was abuse. I think that's somewhat true for me too and another reason for having parts to handle things. Please don't judge where you are at. I hope you know there are no requirements here to be in a certain place in order to write here. I am glad you read what I write and tell us all what you think. If what I write here is going to only mean something to people who are healed, then what's the point?
Nansie, I relate to the idea of it feeling like it happened to someone else. There are times when I can "see" it in my head and my gut twists...I take at least some ownership. Other times, I "see" it, but feel nothing. It makes me sometimes wonder how far along I have come.
I see what you mean OneSurvivor. When I start to feel anything it all just feels so dirty and shameful to me that I can't bear it. I hope I don't trigger anyone but this kind of abuse just seems to never wash off your body so you can feel clean again. At least it's that way for me. I don't feel the feelings but since I have been getting further into my therapy and the DID it seems like I never feel clean anymore. Really sux.
Nansie. It's fine to say what you said. I understand what you are saying and I'm sorry you feel that way. I think it's a common reaction, though not often talked about. But I do think we can heal that.
I'd give anything for the urges to stop, or at least ease. Too many triggers.
Oh, CG... I do understand and I feel for you. I offer you hugs, if that is OK. I have fought that battle and hope I never have to again. I empathize.
I'm sorry CG. Are you finding ways to deal with those urges that are safe?
It seems to hit everyone a bit differently. But one thing I have seen in common is the idea of shame... and, oftentimes, guilt.
I once told my former therapist that I felt like a used wedding dress, all torn up and discarded, worthless. Thankfully, as I worked through things, I was able to start feeling newness and cleanness, like a beautiful, brand new wedding dress. A lot of that was being able to see myself through the Creator's eyes. Plus, I had to face it, something that was extremely difficult to do at first. I did not even want to think of it, let alone face it. And talking about it. Oh, my gosh! That took a LONG time. In fact, there are things I STILL don't want to talk about, not that I really have anyone to talk about it with. (I wish I did.)
It still comes up from time to time and I have to face it and deal with it again. I suspect there may be more buried under there. But I will face it and I will fight for being that brand new, beautiful wedding dress, for feeling beautiful on the inside.
I hope you, and everyone else, can find that beauty inside. I have to remember that I am not the guilty one, my abusers are. I also have to remember that I am not what was done to me and I am not what I have done. It is not always easy to separate the actions from who I really am, but I keep working on it.
I really appreciate this discussion! It helps. I am so glad that Paul wrote about this.
OneSurvivor. I never understood the trend for brides to go get photographed while trashing their wedding dresses. Apparently, that's a very "in" thing. Interesting you used this metaphor. The metaphor I use most often to illustrate this point is being dragged behind a car along a rocky dirt road. I'm glad you were able to change this way of feeling and heal. You talk about facing it and talking about it. It amazes me the self harm I did while I therapy years ago and how I never even considered talking about it. Talk about an elephant in the room. No wonder it made me more symptomatic.
I need to ask you guys some questions... Do you think I would heal faster and better if I talked about the details of the actual abuse with my T? I haven't done this. I am very uncomfortable at the thought of talking about the details. Is that normal or should I be going over it and talking about it? I have a feeling the answer is yes I should. But I feel so ashamed of the thought and the memories. Have you all done this? What about the self injury? Have you all gone into the details of the acting out and the feelings attached to that? I know I can ask my T all of this but I want to know what you all are doing too? This stuff is so helpful for me! Thanks.
Nansie, that is a good question. I have not been able to talk about everything, but I did find it helped as much as I was able to discuss it. While not giving every little detail, the more detailed I got, the more it helped. I have to say, though, that talking about it with a female therapist was much easier than talking to a male. I don't know that I could talk to a male...other than, perhaps, my husband. And I can't say too much to him because he is concerned for me as his wife. It is hard for husbands sometimes to think of their wives as having gone through such things, but he does know a lot.
One thing I have found...when I talk about things, or write about things, they become more real to me. As long as they are still in my head, they maintain a quality of surrealism that starts to go away when I write or talk about them. Each time I write or talk, it becomes more real...I own it more. The more I own it...the more I can do something with it.
I have also found that writing things down and then giving that to the therapist can be a first step to actually talking about it. Or, it can even replace it if you just don't feel that you can get the words out of your mouth.
Oh, and you don't necessarily have to tell another person. Tell yourself...out loud. I have found that can be very helpful, too. It also validates everyone else in the system.
Nansie, This is a hard question. OneSurvivor answered it well. You really should talk to your therapist about it. I'm surprised you haven't. Usually the rule of thumb is to talk about memories when they are bothering you. If they are getting in the way. That's usually the right time. But, as OneSurvivor said, some people are easier to tell these things to than others. I've been lucky that I've had really trusting relationships with my therapists. The answer, for me, would be a flat out no if it's just for the sake of talking about them. But usually, for me again, the memories are so closely tied to certain parts, so when I switch the memories sometimes naturally spill out because parts are troubled by them. Do you see what I'm saying?
Interesting... I did not know that there were brides who would destroy their wedding gowns like that. And to be photographed while doing it? Makes no sense to me.
I certainly get your metaphor. Wow! It is a powerful one.
I really don't have much choice but to talk. Well, to write anyway. Talking is still difficult. I can talk about some things. I can write about some things. I can do neither with some things.
And then there is the difference between a general reference versus details. Oh, the bugger is in the details. Ouch!
Thank you OneSurvivor and Paul for your input on this. I have not gone into details and relived the experience with him. I trust him but I am afraid a childlike part will come out and he's never seen me that way...I really keep this stuff bottled up and it has been very slow going. I've gained huge awareness with my T and a higher level of functioning does come with that but I haven't been able to relive this stuff with him. The part of me that has all the facts tells him stuff but in terms that are not detail or walking thru the event. I don't know how to let him see my parts. I know they have peered out to him at times but I can't relax and let it happen. But then there are times I can't remember much about therapy so I know a part must have been there for that...hmmm. It gets so confusing to me when therapy goes from words and information sharing to parts going in and out and my not remembering. I can't bring the two together. It's either parts or information sharing...can't do both at the same time. UGH....does this happen to anyone else? :(
Nansie, Just know that the goal is not to purge all the trauma. That was how things were done 20 years ago and it caused a lot of regression in people. The goal is to put the past trauma in context and process not so much the events, but the feelings and what they did to change you.
As someone who does not have a history of CSA, I am continually amazed and humbled by the courage and guts and sheer will to embrace life that you all show in learning how to find, look at, and work through the memories and lifelong repercussions. I find myself so angry that the cruelty and betrayal of adults put such a shadow on an integral part of living in a human body.
Thank you David. I find it hard to share many of your sentiments (when talking about myself). But thank you.
Thank you Paul for your kind words and encouragement. You too David, your compassion and caring are comforting to read. Cruelty and betrayal of adults is all I knew as a child. This was my "normal". It wasn't until I was much older that I was able to label it all as abusive. Funny how victims are sometimes taught that they deserved what they got so they become more ashamed of what they "deserved" and what they may or may not have done to deserve it that it becomes a long hard road to get passed that enough to learn it was not their fault and that they were abused to begin with. Big sentence but it has huge meaning to me. I spent so many years ashamed that I did something so bad in life that I deserved to be treated this way. I didn't want anyone to know what was done to me cuz then I would have to tell them what I did to deserve that...even tho I could think of nothing I did and in reality there is nothing I could have done to deserve this. I hope that makes sense. The shame just snowballed and snowballed all my life because of this sick thinking that was used by my abuser so that he could justify his sickness. I hope this makes sense to you Paul but what you wrote has really gotten me thinking....in a good way. Thank you!
Nansie, You are welcome. I am so sorry what your "normal" was. I hope you now know it was anything but normal.
Before stage one awareness, of how humiliation injures the soul in sexual abuse in early childhood, there is the adult suffocating in depression and misunderstood after effects. Perhaps sexual acting out, but also another aspect, for adults who parent.
The event of raising a child, and their sexual development, or exploration, triggering a survivors rage, humiliation ecetera and interfering with bonding or worse.
I am grateful you are writing, an to all the commentors on this post. You each bring light, with endless reflections, to my family.
Coach, It's nice to see you here. Yes, there are injuries upon injuries, for sure. I am dealing with the parent issues now. It has not been so bad for me personally, at least compared to what I hear in others. But, yes, I did plan to write about this specific angle soon.
I think that you are right on target. My therapist let me bring it up in my own time because if he pushes, I withdraw and dissociate. During this last year, I have made great progress. However, my husband still sleeps in another room, but we have great cuddle time which compared to last year, I couldn't even touch him or allow him to touch me. I still find it an extremely difficult subject with all sorts of old messages. The other part is by speaking it, it becomes more real. Soon, my blog will venture into my sexual abuse...scary.
take care,
Hi CC. Great that you pace this and are not feeling forced. And it seems you are making progress, and this is great to hear!
@ Nansie
I just want to tell you that I can relate SO MUCH to what you have written here. And I also often think that others are doing better, going faster, than me. I have been trying to heal for about 16 years and I still have so much trouble seeing the past as 'mine'. I still don't remember things myself, I don't own them and I don't have emotions about them. It is very frustrating! I hope it helps a little to know you're not the only one.
@ Paul
Thanks for this post. I am just beginning to process some of the sexual abuse memories and am not ready to look at my current sexual problems, but I know the time will come one day. It is reasurring to know that others have gone before.
Dawn, it may help you to feel a bit better to know that I have been trying to heal for 20 years and there are many things, including this subject, where it feels like I am just getting start. So "where you are" is really all relative.
Thank you, Paul, for this post. It is well written and spot on. I will keep it bookmarked for future reference in my own journey . . .
- Marie (Coming Out of the Trees)
Thank you Dawn for your kind words! Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get thru all of this. I am sure many of you feel like this too... just so much work and it takes so long. I thank God for my therapist and sites like this that are such a comfort to know I am not alone!
Thank you Marie. Nansie, I think because of your commitment, you will get through.
Paul, Excellent post dealing with a very sensitive subject. As an abuse survivor, sexuality can be very tricky for me. One positive thing about my living situation is that a lot of the pressure has been taken off. I think, I hope, that when we actually get a bedroom again, it will be easier for me. It is not that nothing happens right now. It is just that there is a limit to what can happen. It sure beats wanting to shut down and run the other way.
I realize I am rambling, but this is still a loaded subject for me to some extent.
OneSurvivor, Thank you! I know this is a loaded subject for many. That's why I have been approaching it carefully (and intend to keep it that way).
Thank you for opening up about this. I have had insiders act out sexually, too... and it was not always a positive thing. I hope that is all in the past now.
OneSurvivor. It's nearly 5 months since this post was written. It's all different now. For the better. Thank you.

Haven Review: The Heart of Havenby Carissa Pavlica at . Updated at . Comments
It's really difficult to believe that there is only one episode left to Haven Season 4. Unfortunately, Haven Season 4 Episode 12 still wasn't firing on all cylinders, despite the urgency to deliver a satisfying conclusion to an otherwise tame season.
I'm well aware that my opinion isn't the popular one, but I can't allow fandom to get in the way of an honest discussion. And make no mistake; I am a fan of Haven. The cast is strong and the acting is fabulous. The writing still has flashes of brilliance, but the curtains have been drawn on much of this season.
The bar was set very high, and not every season is always going to be stronger than the one that came before. What could have been a hot story has been tepid and slow. Is Haven still more unique than a lot of what television has to offer? Yes. Is it up to par with what Haven delivered in its first three seasons? No.
I'm one of those people who likes to eat my meals by squirreling away little portions of my favorite bits on the plate. I - quite literally - save the best for last. I don't recommend that in a television series.
"When The Bough Breaks" dragged out about 20 minutes of useful material into 44 minutes of airtime. There was too much deliberation over whether or not Audrey was going to rub the little black balls of Trouble in her hands to create one to stop another.
Too much time was spent watching the guard symbols flash and spin before Jennifer, Vince and Dave found the Heart of Haven. These things seemed relatively set in stone given the circumstances of the next to the last episode and what needed to be accomplished, so the pacing was agonizing.
When Audrey first blackened her hand to give a Trouble and gave the slightest smile, it was a relief. Even more when Duke called her out on remembering her original self, even if she might not have fully comprehended it.
If there is one thing that this story has taught us, it's that Duke's friendship with Audrey has given him a much deeper understanding of her than Nathan has received through his love at arms length. Duke never misses a trick where Audrey is concerned. He knew her enough to see through her lies as Lexie, and to spot her recognition of self when she created a Trouble.
Nathan has a lot of catching up to do.
I wonder if Audrey will go through with giving Duke his Trouble back, given where the episode left off. That smirk he had on his face seemed to signal something in Audrey, almost a memory of her original self. His smile kind of matched the one she made when she created the Trouble with Lincoln. It was certainly thought provoking.
It was odd that Duke wasn't more interested in what Jennifer found at the lighthouse. If she found the Heart of Haven, and it's what will send William back to the hole he has been rotting in for ages and could set things right again with Audrey and all of the current Troubles, why didn't he give it more credence?
Perhaps there is a part of Duke that misses his Trouble as much as the original Audrey enjoyed making them. Being a hero is difficult without the one thing that set you apart from everyone else in town. He had to kill to stop the Troubles, but at least he had the ability if someone requested it. Hearing that his curse was a blessing only buttered his bread, so to speak.
Next week it looks like everything we've been waiting for will be squeezed into the final hour of the season. Haven has consistently delivered incredible and shocking finales. I expect that will be the case again. I just wish what lead up to it could have been as remarkable.

Duke didn't make a big deal about finding the door because they still need to figure out who the four people are that can open it. Since people are dropping left and right, they do not have the luxury of time. They need to do something now before the baby cries again. I don't agree with the reviewer. I thought this was a strong episode. Some of the early ones moved slowly but I think that is because they had to deal with Emily Rose's pregnancy/childbirth during early filming. Anyway, when it comes to shows, I find it better to just enjoy the ride and not be too critical since I don't have control over the writing anyway:)
I can understand your desire to want to sit back and let the show take you wherever it wants to go, but my job is, actually, to analyze and review the episodes. I think people like to have something to fight against, even if it's an unpopular opinion on a show they love. It's no fun to show up to a review and see all your thoughts already in print. ;-)
Agree with you about this season. For me William has been the most interesting thing of the season. The first half dragged with all the Nathan guilt and Lexie stuff. At least William seems to be actually powerful and difficult to deal with.
I am somewhat ambivalent about Jennifer, she is conveniently forgotten sometimes and the fact that there has been no one on one conversation between her and Audrey at all, considering that she helped rescue Audrey from the imploding barn makes no sense to me at all. I really feel she'll be killed or disappear in the finale.
It does seem like there have been a lot of plot contrivances this season too and the fact that Audrey was willing to re-trouble Duke so he could kill the baby's father seems contradictory to her Haven saver personality.
I'm still thinking there's a connection between William and Duke though
The fact that I have yet to watch the last two episodes is a clear indication of how this season has been going.
"Duke's friendship with Audrey has given him a much deeper understanding of her than Nathan has received through his love at arms length. Duke never misses a trick where Audrey is concerned. He knew her enough to see through her lies as Lexie, and to spot her recognition of self when she created a Trouble. Nathan has a lot of catching up to do. " Exactly what I've been saying, Duke is very much in tune with Audrey, something Nathan seemings to be missing.
not that my opinion means that much, but I think that given the idea that william was talking about complimentary troubles, and a few episodes ago dwight mentioned balance/counterbalance with the troubles, Icant help but ask the question what would happen if duke got his trouble back. think about this, william and audrey create troubles and duke can kill troubles. just like dwight said duke has his trouble for a reason. so what does losing his trouble mean an what will hapen when he gets it back?
I just hope as well that there'll be a season 5. haven deserves at least a chance to say goodbye (and thanks for all the fish :D)
Ditto to previous comments re. Wade and Jordan. I quite enjoyed Jordan's renewed role in season 4 but it felt a little like they're were trying to make up for the absence of a kick ass lady while Audrey was in the barn, and then dropped her when Audrey got out. However I disagree with the anti-William sentiments. I'm really enjoying that his presence has messed with our perspective of Audrey as a trouble fixer. Right on Carissa with your comments re. Duke's insight into Audrey. He really is just picking up on everything that Nathan seems oblivious of. Pity that he completely ignored Jennifer's very similar sentiments. I think Duke was WAY too eager to get his trouble back. Also the throw away comment as to what Gloria's family's trouble was seems a little too convienient ... Something to do with deafness? I liked that we discovered Dave isn't a "true" Teague. So many adoptions in such a small town!
I think you're right about season 4 being weak. Wade was indeed a missed opportunity, as was the Jordan-Vince rivalry for control of The Guard. I also felt episodes 10 and 11 were a total waste of time. Also, the book being some sort of guide for Jennifer to use seems like an arbitrary plot device, rather than something organic that makes sense within the context of the story. Worst of all, I think William (the season's "big bad") comes across very one-dimensional. HOWEVER, I think you're wrong about THIS particular episode. My thoughts watching "When the Bough Breaks" were that season 4 FINALLY came together, and everything was fitting into place. Also, this trouble of the crying baby was the creepiest and most devastating trouble we've encountered on the show. Kudos to them for thinking it up.
This season the only two things that has kept me coming back to haven is Duke and Dwight. I liked William in the barn, and this evil turn just never worked for me. They killed off Jordan and dumped her like trash. There was so much more they could have down with her. They killed off Dukes long lost brother and made Duke the killer!!! That was just wrong. But Audrey still seems kind of spacey and Nathan is like a puppy dog. I want my dynamic duo back. I like Jennifer, stop turning her into the maiden in distress!!! Come on! Give me a dash of old Haven. Vince and Dave used to grouse at each other, but now they seem to despise each other. Gloria suddenly has a family? Who knew!!
So many goofs and gaffes in this season story telling!!
Thank goodness the first comment wasn't one striking me dead. I'm happy with that. ;-) I really enjoyed Jordan and had super high hopes for Wade. They felt like missed opportunities. There were a lot of them this season. Hopefully there will be a season 5 to get their groove back. If not, I'll happily end my stay in Haven with Season 3, with extra doses of Duke and Jennifer. They've made my season 4 worth watching.

Last week, a Darksiders II developer posted comments on Twitter about being left out of the credits despite working on the game. Some joined his side, some ridiculed his outburst, but most ignored the issue altogether. Does the troubling topic not warrant our attention? Who better to answer that question than Andy Modrovich: industry veteran, ex-Vigil Games employee, and the latest victim of the increasingly common industry practice of leaving staff out of game credits. This is his story.
One thing more than anything else struck me when I first read the discussion over the Darksiders II credits: the feeling that we've been here before.
The feeling that an uncomfortable truth about the industry, commonly known and accepted in game development circles as Just The Way Things Are, had been revealed to a surprised outside world. It was the same way I felt after the EA Spouse letter went viral, in which the fiancee of an EA game developer detailed the abusive culture of overtime at the company. I remember being inundated by emails and phone calls from family and friends who had read the letter, wanting to know if that kind of thing really went on, and had I ever experienced anything like that, and how could people do that to other people? Of course; yes; and I don't know, I answered again and again.
I was surprised that they were surprised; somehow I thought these things were common knowledge. But then, why would they be when so few are willing to discuss them publicly?view full story + comments
If you're anything like me, you're a devil worshipper.
There's just something glorious about a truly demonic demon, one that embodies the spirit of the classics -- a big, red, horny, behooved, gleefully evil beast-man from the flaming depths of Hell. Who doesn't love demons? Well, Christians, I suppose. Some of them, anyway.
Videogames have all sorts of demons, but only a few of them are proper demony demons. The kind of demon you can look at and say, "That sure is a demon!" These are the demons that you think of when you think of demon stuff, which I do pretty much all of the time.
Here are the best ones.view full story + comments

[Update: In addition to a response from Vigil Games' general manager, I received an email from an ex-Vigil employee who worked on game for 2+ years but did not receive credit. He says he's not the only one. Updates are after the jump.]
After being unexpectedly fired by Vigil Games and having his life in shambles due to relocating, Darksiders II UI designer Xander Davis took to Twitter when he found out that his name didn't make the credits of the game that caused him so much misery.
"What's crazy is most aspiring game developers have no idea yet how shitty it is to work in triple-A. My life has been a nightmare for 3 yrs," Davis tweeted last night. He said this is common in the industry and he isn't the only one complaining about not being credited by THQ and Vigil.view full story + comments

Every now and then, a game comes along that seems to have the right stuff -- it's got an unforgettable visual style, a quality studio, a respectable marketing budget, and the kind of gameplay that should go over damn well with a crowd. Every now and then, a game can have all that and just be unlucky.
Darksiders was one such game. One of my favorites of 2010, Vigil Games' appealing (yet ridiculous) action title took the core of The Legend of Zelda and wrapped it in some highly original (and violent) clothes. It should have been a hit. It's criminal that it wasn't.
And if Darksiders II goes the same way, criminal won't even be the word for it.view full story + comments

Gas Emissions
Washington State Refineries To Use Benchmarking Methodology
Solomon Associates has announced it has been working in collaboration with the refining industry and state officials in Washington to assist in establishing a regulatory framework designed to help control greenhouse gas emissions from Washington's five petroleum refineries. The Washington Department of Ecology has begun the process of controlling greenhouse gas emissions by adopting a new rule under RCW 70.94.154. The rule requires all Washington stationary sources to have reasonably available control technology (RACT). Refineries are being presented with two options to meet the requirement. The first compliance option requires refineries to use Solomon's Energy Intensity Index® (EII®) to benchmark their energy efficiency against other similar-sized refineries in the nation. Solomon's proprietary metric is based on the industry's largest database of energy management data and an in-depth understanding of refinery energy and emissions efficiency. EII has become the global refining industry gold-standard for assessing the efficiency of energy usage, one of the primary drivers of combustion-related greenhouse gas emissions. As cited in the rule, a refinery will be considered compliant if it has a calculated EII equal to or more efficient than the EII value representing the 50th percentile EII of similar-sized United States refineries
ECSA Supports CO2 Monitoring with Bunker Record Books
The European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA) supports a European Union initiative to monitor emissions.

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Reviews and Owner Comments

Overall Score (5 reviews)
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, East Glacier Park, MT, November 24, 2012 15:48I absolutely love my 02, Brakes are a slight downer but I absolutely love this vehicle. The plastic cladding is a lifesaver in campus parking lots, and when they fade just slap a coat of Refinish Restore on it and its good to go. I put a Cold Air Intake in it and a cat back exhaust and it howls, sadly im pushing 120,000 miles, but I might turn it into a million mile chevy just because I cannot bear to part with it
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Spartanburg, SC, May 30, 2012 05:39For about a month my truck has been cutting back while driving on the interstate when I press the gas petal. I thought that I solved the problem when I had a full tune-up, and I replaced the fuel filter. The problem continues to exist but just not as bad as it was. What should I do next?
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500garber2007, New Paris, OH, November 30, 2010 00:27I love my Avalanche and would get another one if I got another truck. I love all of the little compartments and features of it, and especially the factor truck cover. The compartments in the side are great for in the winter to keep an Ice Scraper in so that you can just open it up and start cleaning off your truck! I love it! The only problem I have had is with the braking system, which includes the emergency brake and the regular brakes. The regular brakes wear through faster than most vehicles.Enthusiast
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500Visitor, Blountstown, FL, August 08, 2010 16:12I loved my 2002 Avalanche! When the miles started getting high (80,000) I decided to trade for a new one. I'm a female and spend alot of time on the highway long distances. Soooo disappointed in the new ones! They don't have the compartments the older models have and the leather seats aren't nearly as comfortable! Really miss my '02
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500ulamay, Ketchikan, AK, May 12, 2009 10:57I too love my Avalanche. Love the compartments and the factory back cover to keep things dry and how you have the option of just removing one panel if thats all you need. The only draw back/complaint I do have is the problems with the brake system including the emergency brake. I really feel this is a Chevy problem since I am not the only one having this type of issue.Enthusiast

MN: Anti-Gun Democrat Threatens Pro-Gun Survey Taker
Pro-gun group sends out surveys to all Minnesota politicians. In a phone call follow-up, one Democrat threatens violence:
When contacted, the individual answering the phone identified himself as Ron Erhardt. Your affiant identified himself and reminded Rep. Erhardt of the approaching questionnaire deadline. Rep. Erhardt indicated that he did not intend to complete the survey. Your affiant, following the procedure used with each candidate, reminded Mr. Erhardt that GOCRAŌĆÖs policy was to give a special ŌĆ£F*ŌĆØ grade to candidates with no voting record or survey, as set out in the ŌĆ£How will this information be used?ŌĆØ section of the introductionŌĆ"
Rep. Erhardt responded, yelling, ŌĆ£Give me a double F! No more surveys! You come near me, and IŌĆÖll blow your head off!ŌĆØ Rep. Erhardt then disconnected the phone call. The callŌĆÖs duration was 78 seconds.
It must be that new civility the left keeps asking for.

bho.dll - bho.dll - DLL Information
bho.dll - What is bho.dll?
Uh oh! Looks like you've some work to do!
Recently we have noticed that in the Root of students and staff "My Documents" redirected to drive u: there is a file bho.dll of varying size and date stamps. A Google search suggests that it usually is used as spyware/adware. After deleting it the next day it is regenerated. I assume it may be the activity of one of our network applications but no idea which.
Does anyone know anything about this?
bho.dll - bho.dll - DLL Information
bho.dll - What is bho.dll?
Uh oh! Looks like you've some work to do!
Thanks for links, which I had previously read in my Google searches, but what I am hoping to find out is what activity/activities are occuring that causes the creation of this file. It appears in student, teacher, parent and our tech accounts which is why I was wondering if it was a network apps action.
I would like to identify the source of its creation and know if I can ignore it or what action I may need to take to stop it occuring in the future.
Found a lot of these recently relating to varying installations of stuff like MyWebSearch toolbars - not in My Documents though, that's a new one on me. Keep us posted though please.
I would guess after deleting the file and then re-logging on to an infected workstation the file would reappear. I take it you have tried a full virus scan / adaware scan on a test PC to try this?
What you could do is run MalwareBytes on your server to get rid of all the BHO.DLL files which are appearing in user redirected documents.
Unfortunately it's then a case of some detective work; either scan a handful of machines (again with Malwarebytes) or start re-imaging workstations you suspect may be the source of the problem. In the circumstances I'd be more inclined to re-image machines. It's probably quicker and you're guaranteed if anything's there it should get deleted in the process.
Are you running Impero on your workstations?
Thanks for the last suggestion about Impero.
This was initially denied by Impero to be the cause, but removing the client removed the generation of the dll file, re-installing the client caused the dll file to be re-generated. I sent off clear logs and Impero accept the info, but in fairness they had prepared a unique build for us to fix a problem and the beta process of placing a dll file was still within the code.
I am now not worried about this file, but waiting on a client update so I can remove it across all users home directories.
Thank you to everyone for your feedback. Sorry it took so long to update.
