User beware. Today's web browsers offer more security protections than
ever, but according to security experts, they do little to protect
people surfing the net from some the web's oldest and most crippling
Like nuclear stockpiles during the Cold War, new safety features amassed
in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera are part of an arms-race
mentality that leaves online criminal gangs plenty of room to launch
attacks. What's more, the new protections often take years to be
implemented and months to circumvent. Meanwhile, shortcomings that have
bedeviled all browsers since the advent of the World Wide Web go
Earlier this week, Mozilla patted itself on the back for adding a
security feature to Version 3 of Firefox that's of only marginal benefit
its users. It prevents users from accessing a list of websites known by
Google, and possibly others, to be spreading malware. Opera Software, in
a move its CEO proclaimed "is reinventing Web-based threat detection,"
added a similar feature to version 9.5 of its browser released two weeks
ago, and Microsoft engineers are building malware blocking into IE 8.
Here's the rub: According to our tests over the past week, the Firefox
anti-malware feature frequently failed to block sites compromised by one
of the most prevalent SQL injection exploits menacing the web. Outcomes
varied from minute to minute, but clicking on results returned from
searches such as this and this (we strongly recommend you don't try this
at home) led us to dozens of compromised websites even with Firefox's
gee-whiz malware protection feature turned on.
Firefox 3 does block nihao11.com and the half-dozen or so other domain
names that are referenced in the injection attack, so there is some
benefit to the feature. But its inability to flag a huge number of
websites that have been compromised shows the limits to such an
approach. Similarly, researchers from Websense report here that they
"found multiple phishing pages that still made it through" anti-phishing
mechanisms that have existed for more than a year in Firefox. Because
they're based on static blacklists based on behavior reported weeks or
months earlier, these features often fail to detect quick-moving
"These little anti-phishing things and anti-malware things, I'm not
buying them," says Jeremiah Grossman, CTO of web application security
firm WhiteHat Security. "Are we less likely to get hacked as a result of
these features? No. If I was really the evil guy, I'll send you to a
hacked up blog page with Firefox 3 and you won't have a good day."

John Lackey was left for dead in the fantasy game. How could you blame anyone for taking the position that he was a washed up, overpaid pitcher? I certainly wouldn't. In 2011 he had a 6.41 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 28 starts and you could make an argument that he was the worst starting pitcher in baseball. Lackey then missed the entire 2012 season as he needed Tommy John surgery on his wing. Why would anyone have paid attention to him in 2013? Turns out we all should have.
The last time that Lackey was a solid pitchers was 2009 when he had a 3.83 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 176.1 innings. The last time he was at the height of his powers was in 2007 when he went 19-9 with a 3.01 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and tossed 224 innings. But his performance had dipped each year from 2008-11 before he missed the 2012 season in it's entirety, and that was the biggest concern heading into the 2013 season – he appeared to be washed up. Look at his performance from 2008-12, it's nothing anyone would get excited about.
League average stuff there no doubt, and with downward trends everywhere.
There was also another extremely troubling trend. Check out his K/9 marks from 2005-11. If this trend doesn't send a shiver down your spine not much will.
8.57, 7.86, 7.19, 7.16, 7.09, 6.53 and 6.08.
That's as bad a trend as I have ever seen. For 6-straight years his K/9 rate went down, moving from a borderline elite mark to well below average. That's the sign of an arm that is shot.
Take a look at his walk rate. The trend wasn't as bad, it only went up for 4-straight years from 2008-11, but it was as equally troubling trend leading to the same conclusion – his arm was shot.
2.09, 2.20, 2.40, 3.01, 3.15
Like I an everyone else out there thought, Lackey was done. Or was he?
Apparently Tommy John surgery is the key to everything. I jest of course, but it certainly helped to give him a new lease on life. Let's take a look at his 2013 effort with the rebuilt arm of his.
Lackey went just 10-13, but records don't concern me much.
His ERA was 3.52. That's nearly three runs below his 6.41 mark in 2011. It was also his lowest mark since 2007. That's a long time.
Lackey had a 1.16 WHIP in 2013. That was the first time his WHIP was under 1.25 since 2008. It was also the best mark of his 11 year career.
What about the K/9 rate? Not only did it bounce back, but it did so in a big way. Lackey had a 7.65 K/9 rate, the third best mark of his 11 seasons. It's also the highest the mark has been since 2006. Given that he had a mark of 6.34 over 375 innings in 2010-11 it's also shocking that it bounced back so hard. Tommy John surgery or not, it was a totally unexpected result.
I don't know if it was more shocking to see him jack up his K/9 rate or for him to post the best BB/9 mark of his career. Lackey walked more than three batters per nine in both 2010-11, and he had seen his walk rate increase in 4-straight years. So how on earth did he knock more than a full batter off his walk rate in 2013 and post a 1.90 BB/9 mark, the best of his 11 seasons? Right, doesn't make any sense at all.
Lackey posted a 1.34 GB/FB ratio. While that mark was barely above his 1.22 career mark, it was his best mark since 2005 and the second best mark of his long career. His groundball rate was 46.8 percent, a career best. His line drive rate was 18.2 percent which just so happened to be the second best mark of his career and his best mark since his 18.1 percent mark in 2006. Again totally unexpected.
Lackey threw 189.1 innings in 2013 proving pretty durable in his first year back from surgery. It was only the second time since 2007 that he threw 180 innings in a season. Again, at least slightly unexpected.
About the only down part of his 2013 effort was his homer rate. Lackey allowed 1.24 homers per nine innings, the third worst mark of his career, and only the second time the mark had been over 1.15 since 2004.
So what do we do with Lackey in 2014? If you look just at his 2013 performance you would be very interested. I can't recommend that you follow that path though. Lackey is 35, and 2013 be damned, his track record the past half decade suggests caution is warranted. I'm also pretty dubious that Tommy John surgery can fix all ails. It's true that replacing his worn out ligament certainly gave his arm a boost, but that doesn't explain a return of the strikeout or the massive reduction in his walk rate. It also doesn't inspire much confidence in me. Modern science is amazing, I'll certainly tip my hat to that, but my spidy-sense is telling me that there is little chance that Lackey will offer a repeat performance in 2014, and it's very likely he recedes to the level of being pretty much an average big league hurler. Don't be swayed too heavily by 2013 or you'll likely end up hanging out on disappointment alley.

Just out of high school herself, Shannon Orcutt didn't know it at the time, but she was looking at the future of her swimming program at Centennial High School in the mid-1990s.
One of the girls Orcutt taught to swim was Tess Simpson.
Simpson's mother, Kathy, remembered that as high school neared for Tess and her younger sister, Cece.
"I taught Tess to swim when she was 3 through the city of Peoria and her mom remembered that and had her come here," Orcutt said. "I learned about Tess before her freshman year, and obviously, heard about Cece as well."
Last November, a little more than a decade after those lessons, Orcutt watched Tess Simpson claim Centennial's first state swimming championship, winning the 5A-II 50-yard freestyle race. She's back for her senior year.
Not to be outdone, Cece earned a spot on the All-American team in the 100-yard butterfly. She's in her junior season.
The Simpsons have made a splash from day one at Centennial. As a freshman in 2007, Tess placed second in the 200-yard individual medley and fourth in the 100-yard butterfly.
Cece's debut in 2008 was even more impressive, picking up second place in the 100-yard butterfly and the 500-yard freestyle. Coupled with Tess' second place in the 100-yard freestyle and fourth in the 200 individual medley, the sisters led Centennial's girls to a fourth-place finish in 5A-II.
They also became closer through time spent together at swimming practice for Centennial and the Goodyear-based Westside Silver Fins club. Tess joined the club when she was 9, while Cece took longer to warm up to the sport.
"I joined because she did," Cece said. "I had a harder time because I started later than most kids,"
Balancing their club practices and meets with high school swimming and studies can be difficult. The sisters practice for the Silver Fins four mornings a week and for Centennial after school. When the high school season ends, the sisters add five weekly afternoon practices and club swimming meets, which continue until June.
"Club takes up a lot of our time. That's been hard through high school, because there's a lot of distractions," Tess said.
Still, results in club competition are what put young swimmers on the map. And through regular competition with the Valley's best, the Simpson sisters have learned their strengths.
Tess is the sprinter, holding club records for the high school age group in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. In her first two years at Centennial, the team was strong enough at the 50 and needed Tess to compete in other events so it could contend for the state title.
So she tried the 200 IM, which has become the province of Silver Fins teammate Erica Stock, now a junior at Deer Valley.
Conversely, Cece's more gifted in endurance events, in both swimming and running. She owns the club records for the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly.
As a freshman, she tried the 500 freestyle because of the Coyotes' depth at the 200. She also took to the butterfly quickly.
"I've always been free to pick, because my events aren't the more popular ones," Cece said. "I don't have a lot of speed, but I like doing the longer events."
In 2009, the additions of Scottsdale powerhouses Chaparral and Desert Mountain to 5A-II curtailed Centennial's title hopes. So Orcutt let her swimmers concentrate on their best events.
Tess dropped the 200 IM, picked up the 50 and gained a state title in the bargain. She blew away the field in preliminaries and the finals, winning with a time of 24.21. She also finished fourth in the 100.
"High school state is one of my favorite meets, club included. To finally reach a goal like that was a great feeling," Tess said.
Cece came in third behind a pair of Chaparral All-Americans in the 100 butterfly. She finished fifth in the 500 freestyle, and might switch to the 200 this year.
"I had seen the time standards (for All-American) and they always seemed kind of out of reach. It was really exciting to get to that point that I'd seen other swimmers reach," Cece said.
No matter what events they enter, the Simpsons will face a very difficult path to a championship.
The Arizona Interscholastic Association realigned its divisions in individual sports this year, and Centennial moved up to Division I, the state's largest.
Now the sisters are competing with all the state's powerhouse programs — add Xavier Prep, Phoenix Desert Vista and Mesa Mountain View to Chaparral, Desert Mountain and Pinnacle.
For example, Tess could match up with All-Americans Katie Olsen (Desert Vista), Kelli Benjamin (Gilbert) and Samantha Guttmacher (Red Mountain) in the 50 freestyle.
Cece may face off with the top three 5A-I finishers in the 100 butterfly last year — Talie Anchustegui (Xavier), Kat Simonovic (Mountain View) and Lauren Torres (Desert Vista).
Accordingly, qualification time standards are much more stringent for this division. The Simpsons said they're not concerned about meeting the new benchmarks, but fear schools like Centennial will suffer because of them.
"It's going to be more of a club meet. It's going to be really hard for people who just do high school swimming," Tess said. "For us, its more competition. It's kind of disappointing because our team will be so much smaller. We're not stacked with club swimmers."
After state, which is Nov. 4 and 6, its club competition heats up. Orcutt said she's looking forward to having one more year with both sisters leading the team.
"I feel very lucky, because you're not going to get very many athletes of this caliber," Orcutt said. "Every day is a lot of fun. They set a good example in their lanes, in meets. They're both really nice girls, too. Anybody that needs help, they're all about helping."
Both sisters look like safe bets to continue their careers in college. Tess has a recruiting trip to Colorado State this weekend, and also is looking at Maryland, New Mexico and Nevada-Las Vegas. She hasn't decided on a major, but said she's interested in business management.
Cece said she's just starting the process, but recruiting will intensify for her in the summer. She's concentrating on winning state this year.
In the meantime, they'll enjoy spending another year together, in and out of the pool.
"We've gotten so much closer over our high school years," Tess said. "I love having her here."

GOP Senator: Obama Could Be Impeached Over BenghaziSubmitted by zooamerica on Sat, 05/11/2013 - 17:34
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) suggested that President Obama could be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview Thursday with "The Rusty Humphries Show" that impeachment would become an issue soon over the "greatest cover-up in American history."
"People may be starting to use the I-word before too long," Inhofe said.
Impeachment requires the support of 2/3's of Congress. As of right now I do not think it would be possible mainly because the Senate is controlled by the democrats...but, this issue could very well soon cross partly lines.
Democrats will soon vote to impeach the president if it is in their own political best interests to do so and help distance themselves from Obama. Midterm elections are right around the corner.
Looks like some of the democrats are already jumping, or are getting ready to jump off the president's sinking ship.
I love Obama as a man, and I respect the presidency of the United States. But I hate how he is leading our country. True leaders lead by example. They don't play golf every other day, they don't go on lavish vacations all of the time, they don't have celebrity guest parties, and they don't divide people. Leaders unite them.
If there is anything good Obama has done, he has awakened a lot of people. Many democrats are now saying to themselves, "Wait a minute here, socialism really does suck."

Weird how they focus on this incident when the man has
committed much worse atrocities. Benghazi is just a fart compared to all the other crap he's pulled.

EUGENICS MEAL: Inside the McDonaldŌĆÖs McRib [VIDEO]
By┬ĀAnthony Gucciardi
This article originally appeared at┬ĀNatural Society
January 11, 2013
Earlier this week I detailed┬Āin a report how┬ĀMcDonaldŌĆÖs McRib not only contains a host of GMO ingredients and toxic substances, but an ingredient used to make foamed plastic items that is actually┬Ābanned in Australia, Europe, and Singapore. In fact, Singapore law dictates that even using the chemical (azodicarbonamide) as a food additive can lead to a┬Ā$450,000 fine and up to 15 years imprisonment.
This article has now gone viral with five digit social media share counts across the board, bringing out McDonaldŌĆÖs fans and serious ŌĆśMcRib huntersŌĆÖ to say that the McRib is actually completely healthy and that I should experience it for myself. Of course I already know how dangerous the McRib is to the human body by examining the ingredients that make up the franken sandwich, however┬ĀI decided to go to McDonaldŌĆÖs myself and purchase a McRib. As the video details, I wanted to take a look inside the McRib to see what McRib hunters and McDonaldŌĆÖs fans were feeding themselves and their families.
Breast Implant Filler Chemical
What I discovered was that the McRib, the ŌĆśribŌĆÖ of which contains 70 different ingredients which include a harsh array of fillers and additives, was of course not fit for human consumption. Many health agencies even say that many ingredients used in McDonaldŌĆÖs food are not even fit for consumption within cat food. McDonaldŌĆÖs salads contain whatŌĆÖs known as┬Āpropylene glycol, a chemical which is not even legal to use in cat food due to the lack of proven safety. Propylene glycol is also used┬ĀŌĆØas the┬Ākilling and preserving agent in pitfall traps, usually used to capture ground beetles.ŌĆØ
McDonaldŌĆÖs meal items also contain ingredients used in things like┬Ābreast implant filler liquid. As strange as it sounds, McDonaldŌĆÖs food also contains┬Ādimethylpolysiloxane, a┬Ātype of silicone┬ĀthatŌĆÖs used an an ŌĆśanti-foamingŌĆÖ agent for the McNuggets.
The same ingredient was ruled to be unsafe to use in breast implants as a filler due to health concerns.
Meanwhile, this food is sold at extremely low costs to families worldwide, many who are struggling financially and looking for a cheap meal. In the video┬ĀI use humor to make a point, but the reason I created this video is to highlight how damaging this food is, especially to those who purchase it on a routine basis. If you are struggling financially, it is not impossible to procure high quality organic foods in bulk for super low prices. One couple even did so on $40 worth of food stamps per week in the documentary┬ĀFood Stamped.
// ]]>
For tips on buying organic without spending too much, I encourage you to read┬Ā10 Healthy Yet Cheap Organic Foods┬Āand to explore your local Farmers Market in order to seek out inexpensive foods in your area. At the end of the day, it does not save to buy McDonaldŌĆÖs as multiple health consequences will follow. From an increase risk of cancer and heart disease to diabetes, eating McDonaldŌĆÖs is never worth the minor financial incentive.

Hi! So someone wants me to make them a 1/2 sheet cake (2-3 of them) and 70 cupcakes all frosted in buttercream. Only problem is that they want it for a week I am out of town. They want to know if they can freeze it (freeze on Wednesday, I would make on Monday, Tuesday) for a party on Saturday.
Do you think it would still taste good?
And also, if it would, what would be the best defrosting method?

My Take on What Healing Means
My friend castorgirl at Scattered Pieces recently posted What is healing? It's precisely the question I need to ask myself today.
I, too, have been saddled by questions recently such as Where am I going?, What's the point of all this hard work?, Where's the progress?, How long will this take?, and on and on.
There are times when I can see that I've made huge progress and times when I am so mired in flashbacks or internal confusion that I feel right back where I was decades ago. There are times when I am super-functional and times when I cannot get out of bed. There are times when I am fully connected to my children and family and times when I cannot clearly recognize them. There are times when I feel so full of insight and times when I feel like these are insights that any child should be able to have or cannot put two and two together. There are times when my body feels so healthy and times when I am wracked with pain. There are times when I feel so full of life and times when I feel like dying.
The experience of those of us who have lived lives through dissociative coping and are healing is chock full of contradictions like these. It absolutely must be that way. All those contradictions have been with us forever. That's really not at all new. We simply weren't aware of them before. For most of our lives, we have survived precisely by avoiding the very contradictions we now must face. It was an ingenious strategy. It worked wonderfully when we needed it to. But many of us find that it is severely limiting in the here and now.
Healing, to me, means a commitment to increasing awareness and a commitment to continue to cultivate that awareness despite the short term pains it may give us. I have written before that healing is a messy thing. It's very messy! It's full of friction. Sometimes the price we pay for that awareness seems overwhelming and too much to bear. "We cannot do it anymore!" we often find ourselves writing (or screaming out loud).
But, there are glimpses of what that awareness can ultimately lead to. Otherwise, we wouldn't continue down the healing path.
It may mean being able to curb harmful behaviors. It may mean being able to sometimes genuinely "feel", whether it be experiencing sorrow or grief or joy or love or anger. It may mean being able to sometimes see yourself for who you really are; the big picture, so to speak.
If you are now saddled with contradictions, you have already made the decision that you want something more than what dissociation can give you.
The process of healing through increased awareness is the process of personal change and growth. It's not linear. It's not for the faint of heart. It takes courage. It takes strength. It takes hope and perseverance. For many, it takes faith in something greater than ourselves.
If any of this resonates with you, congratulations. I wish you well in your healing journey.
What does healing mean to you?

Paul, this is a fantastic post!
It brought to the surface a sense of 'the whole me' of which I have barely been aware.
In the past, I felt as if I was usually quite healthy as well as sufficiently connected to those around me. Unfortunately, that was an illusion.
The underlying feeling of suicidal depression that sent me into therapy was just a symptom of the other side of me - the one that never felt connected or healthy. I was completely unaware of the other side of me - had no connection with it at all. I suspected that I was dissociating long before I knew what the word was, but I never knew what was happening when I lost time. I only knew that others didn't seem to notice that I wasn't there, and that I apparently did things during this missing time that I had no memory of.
This feels rather profound, but I'm having a hard time expressing it.
While I was constantly depressed, I also experienced the world as a healthy, connected human being, except when another part of me took over. I was completely not aware of the other parts, so it felt like a solid line of connected, healthy life with an unexplainable undercurrent of sadness. But that is not really how it was all along. The contrasts you wrote about above existed all along, I was just not aware of them.
Now that I am dealing with it, becoming aware of the other parts of me, integrating, communicating, etc., it feels like there is more turmoil than ever, when in reality it is probably less turmoil than I was experiencing overall.
This is an idea I have to think about more. The sense that things get worse during therapy is the illusion - in fact it is only my awareness that has become more acute.
Shen, I want to be careful here, because I'm not precisely sure as to what you are saying. I think I do, but I'm not certain. I think part of healing means coming to some appreciation that contradictions like I listed have always been present. I made a sweeping generalization based on my experiences. I have some good reasons to think this may be the same for others, but I cannot be absolutely certain. People talk all the time about things getting worse during therapy. I think this is only a matter of perspective.
You know, Paul, when I started this healing business I thought it would be like climbing a mountain - I'd make my way straight up to the top, and things would be all better.
Little did I know that it was more like climbing the north face of Mt Everest - that I'd climb a bit, then stop; that I'd stumble and have to get back up again; that I'd fall down in the snow sometimes and struggle; and that sometimes, I'd have to hunker down in my tent for a while to shelter from the blizzard outside.
Actually, if I'm honest, I didn't even know I was embarking on healing. I thought if I visited a therapist once or twice I'd be all better. Ahhh, blissful ignorance, eh?
It's as David said in one of my blog posts: healing never gets easier. It "just gets harder in more productive ways." Too true.
As Kate would say, Good and healing thoughts to you. :)
Thanks Kerro. It's not quite the long and windy path that bothers me as much as the glaring inconsistencies that I'm continually aware of. For example, the loving life one minute and, just a short time later, wanting to end life. It's painfully hard for me to accept all of what I experience. I lived for a long time thinking that all I had to do was see a therapist regularly. I didn't realize I actually had to work in between those visits. Yes, David's quote is great. I do hope that he is wrong. For me, what keeps me going is that someday it will get easier. I get glimpses of this. Thanks so much.
Hello Paul,
I see the healing journey similar to a roller coaster. There will be highs and lows, some extreme and some mild. I look forward to when the ride ends. I know that there is much I must relive and reprocess. I don't like feeling like I am ill but there are times when I am sure I am pretty symptomatic and what others would deem weird. Lately I have been very quiet and to myself. I believe in nodding and smiling and keeping my mouth shut when I am in a state of chaos. I add just enough to the conversation to keep me participating and no one knowing what is really going on. I can't help it. I have so much trouble really sharing any of this with the family. They can respect it and try their hardest to understand it but lets face it: no one can know what this is like unless it happens to you.
Thanks Nansie. I know things are hard for you. Hang in there. Sometimes we have to just hang on for the ride.
Well said.
Healing to me is the process of finding and knowing the inner truth and inner knowing I had before abuse, that I was robbed of. Healing to me is getting up and committing to change, one of the hardest things to do. Healing to me is believing in myself with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind. For me healing is the journey, not how far I get in the process of healing. I can commit to the journey and know that I can continue with that for the rest of my life. Where it takes me... that is something else entirely different.
What I was trying to say is this:
As I became aware of my feelings, thoughts, and past experiences through integrating these other sides of me, I have also become aware of the contrasts in a very profound way. I see the juxtaposition of my life right now, on a peaceful day with my family, and my life of the past which was filled with pain, anger, grief and fear. I flux between the feelings of the past and the feelings of the present.
In the past I was only aware of one set of feelings and thoughts at a time, so even though I felt quite miserable (suicidal) quite a bit of the time, I didn't have the frantic feeling that I've had during the last few years since I started therapy. I was diagnosed as bipolar because of my wild mood swings, but I was atypical in that my mood swings would come and go several times in a day. I was experiencing all the conflicting feelings, but not at the same time.
I was trying to say that it isn't that I'm feeling worse since I've been in therapy, only that I am more aware of all of my feelings and therefore more able to realize how bad I feel.
I still don't know if I've made sense of it.
Does it make sense to you?
Shen, I think I do get what you mean. I think we are saying roughly the same thing, no?
Yes... that's right. I was trying to tell you that I got what you were saying, and then spit it out in my words so I could remember it.
Wonderful post, as I said :-)
I wonder why I find this so hard to articulate?
Shen, I know exactly what you mean, I think. We have allowed ourselves, through therapy, to feel the feelings that have always been there. Some say with therapy things get worse before they get better. That is because as we feel safe our self awareness grows and little by little we gain a full self awareness all at the same time comfortably while being present with the world. All of us withdrew in our own ways and had minimal parts of us engaging in the world so that we could survive and go on to a better place. Now we are all working on taking back those parts, helping them heal - one by one, and then becoming whole again. Although I don't ever remember being whole. But yes you do feel worse with therapy. That is the point of it, to get to these wounds and heal them. With the comfort and guidance of the therapist this time they will process in a way that we can live with them day to day and not have to dissociate them. I look at them as cans of worms; we've all got them, even "singletons". My therapist says "the slower the better". I hope I have explained this right.
Yes, I think that says pretty much what I was thinking. I guess the only thing I was trying to say that I don't see in what you wrote, Nansie, is that I think it is an illusion that I feel worse while going through therapy. I think I have always had all of these feelings, but not been aware of them because they existed in parts of me that I wasn't acknowledging. This is what I was trying to say when I said:
The sense that things get worse during therapy is the illusion - in fact it is only my awareness that has become more acute.
I'm glad you posted this, Paul, it's been very good for me to clarify these thoughts. I believe this has been in the back of my mind for some time and I just couldn't see it clearly enough to understand it.
I'm still learning what healing is. I actually hate the word because it implies that someone else knows what healing is and that person may not be the best example of what "healed" is. For example: What if all of us who dissociate are actually healed? What if we are really the way it ought to be and everyone else is broken? (We did survive, right?) It's then no wonder we have a hard time of it trying to "fit in". A lot of people would not have survived, even as we did. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I'm the rebel. I often fight progress by stomping my little foot and refuse to move forward because, darn it, I shouldn't have been put in the position of having to heal in the first place! And then, I hit bottom and have to begin again to adjust the way I think. It's all in my thinking, my collective thinking and that is what usually hangs me up. My adult self knows the right way to perceive something, but one of my littles doesn't yet understand and it's like tripping on the same log, over and over.
Ivory, I like the word because it gives me something to measure, to identify with, and gives me hope. I hear you on your contrarian view. I wish that were true and we wouldn't have to suffer so. None of this is fair, if that's what you are trying to get at.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for expressing so well what many of us struggle with.
One moment at a time...
Take care
Sorry, I ranted above. What I don't like about the word "heal" is 1) it denotes labeling - such as what many bloggers have been talking about lately. It does, as you mention above, give measure. And that is the #2) I don't like having to live up to someones else's measurement of healed or healing. It makes it impossible for me reach my own perception and ability of healing. There is always a scope of healing determined by society or by therapists. It makes many people afraid and/or ashamed of their own degree of healing and if they are struggling, they feel worse because they begin to wonder what is wrong with them and why they haven't reached some imaginary goal set forth by someone who doesn't really know what it's like to have DID.
I've ranted again, sorry. That's what good posts do, makes me think. And, no, none of it is fair.
Ivory, You do not need to apologize. Everything you say is fine. I don't see the word healing as having anything to do with society or anyone else. It's about me and my own measures. My ability to say that I am healing allows me to be more gentle with myself. Healing is not just a word, either. It's a real process.
This is a brilliant post, and a helpful perspective on the healing process. I think it can be incredibly difficult to know how to measure progress, particularly when the journey involves so many ups and downs. I think for me it is about becoming more aware of those contradictions and different parts, and beginning to have the ability to choose to do things differently where we want to. I am becoming incredibly aware of how I am afraid to express anger for fear of rejection, for example, even though I know it is often counter-productive, but I am beginning to realise I can choose to push against my natural defences. Not that I am suggesting this is easy by any means!
However I think (and I'm not completely sure here) but I think that nobody is completely healed, not in this lifetime anyway. There are those who are more whole, and those who have learned to live and work with the scars from the past, but I think to some extent we are all on the journey.
Thesamesky, I think you are so right. It is a journey, and I don't think we are capable of or meant to learn it all in one go-round.
Well Thesamesky, Could it be possible that we go from being reactors to actors in our lives? No longer are we dodging bullets and putting up defenses? So then we know we are "healed". But for us we will never quite heal? Just become somewhat whole. I know that I am proud to be a survivor (among the many other feelings) but at some point I want to go from surviving to living. When the pain becomes my past and I am living life instead of making it through each day, I will know I am healed. If there is a higher level I will keep working for it though.
Nansie, referring to things as "reactive" versus "active" is something I have done in my own writing and personal journey. I was excited and fascinated to see you use the same terms.
Hmmm, good concepts. :)
I think healing, for me, has to do with accepting what has happened, accepting the way I am as a result and working to improve myself without beating myself up. It means accepting whatever pace I can heal at...however fast or slow...and resisting the opinions of others regarding the speed of my healing.
It means learning to be true to who I am and why I am here. I have a purpose. Living according to that purpose is part of my healing.
Sometimes healing involved resignation. Sometimes it involves fighting. It definitely involves transparency...with myself...and oftentimes with select others.
I need God's help with my healing and, oftentimes, I need the help of other people, too. Although, the role other people play varies. It seems to mostly be supportive. I am the one who has to do the work.
Anyway...these are the off the cuff thoughts I have after reading this post.
Wow, Paul! Great post and dialogue you've got going here. I don't think I can really add to it today, as I am having one of those days where I'm hunkered down in that tent on my way up to the top of Mt. Everest, waiting for the blizzard to die down. Good analogy, Kerro. I also like the quote: "...healing never gets easier. It 'just gets harder in more productive ways.' Too true." I need to stop waiting for it to get easier.

GRANITE FALLS, Wash. The flooded Pilchuck River took part of a house with it Wednesday.
Catherine and Clayton Bess bought the house 10 years ago, and over the years, the Pilchuck River has been eating away at their land and inching closer to their home.
Then on Wednesday the Bess's stood by and watched their retirement house fall into the river and float downstream.
Watch:SkyKING video of the damage
We ll survive, Catherine.
The Pilchuck River had eroded their land and it was literally flowing under their living room.
The Bess's moved out, but came back early Wednesday morning to see the river churning and bringing down their house.
They say a few years ago they tried to put rocks along the river banks to protect their house, but the Department of Fish and Wildlife told them they couldn t.
They said woody debris and that washed away, so we re just sort of stuck, we didn t think this would happen, said Hottendorf.
UPDATE: A Fish and Wildlife official contacted KING 5 News on Wednesday to say the agency never assessed the situation at the Bess's property because the Bess's never submitted a permit to shore up the riverbank. The official, Jeff Davis, said the family was referred to the county to obtain help.
Several rivers spilled over their banks Wednesday following heavy rain.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Wayne State Expands Radio Coverage for 2009-10 Athletics
Wayne State College Athletic Director Eric Schoh announced July 28 that the Wildcats will have the largest radio coverage area in the school's history through a joint partnership with Culhane Communications, Incorporated, which owns radio stations KVHT-106.3 FM and KVTK-AM 1570 in Yankton, South Dakota, and Wayne Radio Works LLC, which owns KCTY-104.9 FM and KTCH-AM1590 in Wayne.
All Wildcat Football games and men's and women's basketball games will be carried on either KVHT-FM 106.3, KVTK-AM1570, KTCH-AM1590 or KCTY-104.9 FM in Wayne with KVHT-FM and KVTK-AM serving as the flagship stations for the Wildcat Sports Network. Schoh also announced that Kevin Culhane, president of Culhane Communications, Inc., will be the new "Voice of the Wildcats."
"We are very excited about forming this network and look forward to the expanded coverage it will give our fans and alumni," Schoh said. "With the recent success of our football program, it only makes sense that we would expand the opportunity for people in northeast Nebraska, southeast South Dakota, and northwest Iowa to hear our games. Partnering with these radio stations does that for us, and will no doubt help build the excitement around Wildcat Athletics."
"I'm very pleased to be a part of this new venture for Wildcat Athletics," said Culhane, who recently spent 11 years as the voice of the University of South Dakota and has 19 years of experience in broadcasting Division II, NAIA, and high school sports in the area. "I look forward to returning to cover Division II Athletics. The NSIC is the finest conference in all of Division II and I look forward to working with Eric. He understands the importance of putting together a quality, professional broadcast for the college and I'm excited to bring Wildcat fans, alumni and listeners in our network coverage area and globally on the Internet just that."
"We are extremely proud to have the Wildcats back on our stations," remarked Mick Kemp, general manager of KCTY/KTCH Radio in Wayne. "WSC is a vital part of our community and our listeners will have the chance to hear a great broadcast. Kevin's experience and passion for sports will be felt by those who listen to WSC athletics on the radio. Whether you're listening to the game in the tri-state region or to our streamed signal over the internet world wide, you'll feel like you're right there in the stands," he said.
Head football coach Dan McLaughlin said, "I am excited that Kevin Culhane is going to be the 'Voice of the Wildcats.' Kevin was the radio voice for the USD Coyotes when my son played there, and there isn't a more enthusiastic, more colorful, or better voice in sports radio than Kevin."
In addition to the expanded over-the-air signal, which will cover Southeast South Dakota, Northeast Nebraska and Northwest Iowa, Wayne State games will be available online at www.wscwildcats.com, www.kvht.com, www.waynedailynews.com or in the Wayne area on cable channel 98 (KCTY-FM only).
The Wildcats open the 2009 football season at home against instate rival University of Nebraska at Kearney at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, WSC finished the 2008 season at 9-3, making the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time in school history.

The documentation is full of spelling mistakes, some of them are quite comical. For example the api uses "shoutdown" where "shutdown" was probably meant.
The demo does not appear to work in with the R2009a release of Matlab, on my computer it aborts in Line 188 of the file testcollect.m with the error message "Undefined function or method 'SfactoryTemplate' for input arguments of type 'char'."
This package would be just what I'm looking for, if it actually worked.

Phoenix is a flexible and unique ranged strength hero with a plethora of powerful abilities that inflict heavy damage over time on its opponents at the cost of its own health. It can be played as either a support, initiator or semi-carry. Icarus Dive can serve as either a harassment tool, an initiating maneuver or an escape mechanism, all the while slowing and damaging opponents in its path, while its Fire Spirits burn and cripple the opponent's attack speed, making it a potent anti-carry. Sun Ray projects a powerful beam in front of Phoenix that burns enemies for a percentage of their maximum health while sacrificing some of its own health, and, if it ever sees fit, it can end its current life to turn into a searing Supernova. Surviving this stage of its life cycle allows Phoenix to reemerge in full strength, stunning all nearby opponents and with all cooldowns (except its ultimate) refreshed, ready to inflict havoc on its foes once again.
|Phoenix Sun
Recommended items[edit]
Early Game
Core Items
Situational Items
- Since most of Phoenix's abilities cost a percentage of his health to activate, health regeneration items are very useful. Urn of Shadows, Mekansm, Pipe of Insight and Heart of Tarrasque are good examples of such items.
- It's very helpful to prioritize a Shiva's Guard as your first or second major purchase, as its passive attack slow works during Supernova. With a bit of timing, you can also use Shiva's while Icarus Diving for a long ranged AOE disable.
- Buying Eul's Scepter of Divinity can sometimes be a good investment, as you can still Sun Ray while under the effects of Eul's, and you can use it while diving to disable an enemy from a long distance.
- Fire Spirit's attack speed reduction is great to mess up the enemies' last hits. Also, if used right before Supernova, it will make killing the sun harder.
- Phoenix can be used both as a semi-carry and a support. If going for the former, take the mid lane and buy items to make you harder to kill. If you're supporting, consider going for cheap healing items such as Tranquil Boots, Urn of Shadows and a Mekansm.
- You can go to the area around Roshan's pit and use Sun Ray to quickly and safely check if the enemy team is fighting Roshan.
- You can give your team a significant initiation advantage by flying over the enemy team with Icarus Dive and rapidly covering the area in Fire Spirits. Fire Spirits will be easier to land from close proximity, but their high range can also allow you to hit spread-out team members. While the enemy team's movement and attack speed has been slowed, Supernova is a much more effective ability.
- If you are confident about your team's follow-up, you may be able to soak up some extra damage before using your ultimate, thus relying on your team rather than your own short-lived disables to protect the Supernova. If you're less confident, you can continue the Icarus Dive to a point where Supernova can still affect some enemies, but to eliminate it the enemy heroes will have to slowly run towards you and your team and ignore the latter if they still intend to focus you. If you're not confident at all, you can resume support with your Sun Ray instead of using Supernova since the Icarus Dive will return you to your original position by default.
- Magic Stick and Magic Wand are even more effective on Phoenix than most other heroes because his abilities cost both HP and mana, decreasing scenarios where you only use the items to gain just enough mana for casting an ability.
- Phoenix's name in DotA was Icarus. It was removed during its port to Dota 2 for unspecified reasons.
- Phoenix is one of the two Heroes with no defined dialogue, the other being Io.

James Ellroy: 'I Don't View LA As Any Place Other Than My Stomping Grounds'
In part two of our discussion with novelist and TV host James Ellroy, we discuss what makes Los Angeles such a compelling city for stories about crime.
Ellroy is the creator and host of "James Ellroy's LA: City of Demons" on Investigation Discovery.
"I come from LA, I was born on Wilshire boulevard in 1948, in the film noir epicenter during the film noir era. I don't view LA as any place other than my stomping grounds," Ellroy says. "This show reconciles all the paradoxes within me, and in an engaging, amusing and consistently non-solipsistic way."
In Part I, we spoke to Ellroy about his new program on ID, including his animated co-host, the police dog Barko.
In Part III, which will run tomorrow on GalleyCat, Ellroy discusses his writing.

Breaking news
Fire at Chevron refinery in Richmond, California, no threat to locals
Russia has no evidence of whether a chemical weapons attack has taken place in Syria or who is responsible, Russian President Vladimir Putin told British Prime Minister David Cameron in a telephone call, according to Cameron's official website.
View full story
We do not receive a fair coverage from our media about world events, even more evident from the reporting re Syria, I feel so ashamed of our Govts support for the US to invade another country, and feel deeply for the Syrian people. Thankyou RT for your reporting and thankyou Russia for supporting Snowden. Australia.
So Putin decides there was no gas attack.What about all the doctors on the attack site who said there was a gas attack?Putin is trying to tell us that these doctors are wrong?For god's sake when will he face reality
Western governments have decided on regime change in Syria. They are not interested in evidence or guilt or any of the usual bourgeois twaddle. Everyone knows what the West is going to do Bomb,Bomb, Bomb. What they don't know is what ,if anything, Russia is going to do. Other than appeal to 'Fair Play'.
Without absolute solid evidence it would be wrong to intervene in Syria and totally illegal as it is a sovereign country and USA or EU who are arming the anarchist cannibal rebels are thus helping to create the death and destruction there. " ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD "
Russia I'm a friend, but I have an advice to give. Please do not give any more false hope to any nation and country facing the US, NATO military force. Because ultimately you will not help. I'm disappointed very much because you are not protecting the country where your one and only military base in Mediterranean is. Why ??
Why this is not explained to the people that are fighting on the ground ?
That they are on they own. And that nobody will help.
@Saliss Haruna, and there are no friends or friendship in politics.
Russia is going to do whatever is good for Russia. But the West thinks it is good to back Saudia Arabia who pays the terrorist Doku Umarov to blow up innocents in Southern Russia every month. And we wonder why Putin does not cooperate with us? What favors have we done for him, lately?
Russia is going to do what ever gets under the United State's skin. It's not very helpful to the world, or mankind for that matter.
Only Russia and China could have stopped the impending doom that is slouching inexorably towards Syria but for some reason, they are going to let it happen... Iran and Lebanon are next - Russia after that.
Like Chamberlain and Hitler and the Nazis - it's better to fight them sooner rather than later after all your allies have been picked off - pay attention to history Mr. Putin.
USrael/NATO has to blow up Syria quickly before the facts are known - like Iraq...
Yet another epic war crime is about to be perpetrated on the people of Syria - stuff the UN in the garbage can of history like the League of Nations before it -- it has been usurped by the forces of evil i.e. the American Corporate empire and has been rendered useless as a mechanism of peace when the American empire and its lackeys want war and lots of it - more the better.

ABC7 L.A. Becomes First Local TV Station to Reach One Million Facebook Likes
Last Thursday, KABC-TV (ABC7) – the Los Angeles affiliate of ABC and the #1 rated television station in the Los Angeles area – became the first local TV station to reach one million Facebook likes.
The station's first post was on November 7, 2008 about an event for the annual earthquake preparedness initiative 'The Great Southern California Shakeout.' Since then, the station uses its Facebook page to post news items, contests, and events, and it has become a key component of its viewer outreach efforts.
"Facebook gives us the ability to extend the reach of our trusted news brand and interact directly with our viewers in a variety of ways," Cheryl Fair, Vice President and News Director, ABC7, Los Angeles, tells Lost Remote. "When there is breaking news or other stories we know would be of interest to our viewers, Facebook provides another opportunity to reach them wherever they are whenever it happens. And, whether it's comments or criticisms about coverage or sharing stories, video or pictures of news in their communities, our viewers have embraced the opportunity to engage and be a part of the Eyewitness News team."

Enhance your value to healthcare organizations by developing the leadership abilities required to measurably improve overall quality, reduce costs, raise the level of nursing practice and increase patient, family and healthcare provider satisfaction when you enroll in the Master of Science in Nursing-Clinical Nurse Leader (MSN-CNL®) program at Curry College.

- An accomplished MSN faculty of nursing professionals who are committed to nursing education excellence
- A cohort-based learning model where you and your nursing colleagues form a team that remains together throughout the program, modeling current workplace practice
- Competencies and curriculum grounded in guidelines established by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in collaboration with leaders from the practice environment

Clinical Nurse Leader - Timely New Role in American Health Care
As a practicing professional, you are well aware of the dynamic changes in our highly complex healthcare system that require you to think differently about how you care for patients. You need to do more than understand a diagnosis and implement a treatment plan. You're expected to be a straightforward communicator, a thoughtful leader, an effective educator, a strong advocate for your patients and community, a contributing member of a healthcare team and much more.
To be a successful next-generation nursing leader - a generalist Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) - you must keep current with technological advances and emerging medical knowledge while minimizing errors. You must also know how to use your leadership skills, evidence-based practice and decision analysis to anticipate risks, understand technology and maintain patient safety. When you pursue your MSN at Curry College, you'll enhance your clinical judgment and acquire the necessary tools for career success while maintaining the all-important contact with your patients.

The Good: This was my first paycheck that had my raise (and only my raise ... last one had back pay on it as well) on it. It was $80 higher than I thought :) This means I can increase my spending money, debt payments and still have enough to pay for my cleaning lady (she went on maternity leave and I was doing it without her . . . I realized she is SO worth the money I pay her!!!) With this I was also able to pay off another $ 350 towards my debts!
The Bad: I'm fighting the flu. Not terrible but not great either.
The Ugly: The Canadian Government "lost" information on 563,000 people who borrowed student loans between 2000 and 2006. It includes name, address, parents names, SIN, DOB etc. I called and I'm on the list. I now have to contact the credit bureaus and my bank to put fraud alerts on my file. This stuff went missing IN NOVEMBER and they're just telling us now!
There is a class action law suit starting to try and get the government to pay for monthly credit monitoring! What a nightmare!

A vigil is being held to remember three people who were brutally killed inside an apartment on Chili Avenue. Rochester Police released the names of the victims late Wednesday afternoon. Police say two cousins, 24-year-old Jacquelyn Simmons and 21-year-old Jeremiliah Simmons, were found shot to death, along with another victim, 24-year-old Mike Nelson.
News10NBC has been trying to get answers from police for days now, but they still are not telling us more about this crime. Family and friends of the victims are also left with unanswered questions. As they're trying to find those answers, they are also trying to cope with this.
People have been coming to the scene all week leaving candles and teddy bears again. Police won't officially say anything, but the families of the victim say detectives told them they believe the three were killed early Saturday morning. Family and friends just don't understand why these murders may have happened.
There are a lot of unanswered questions. Who is behind the murders? Why did this happen? And is the community safe? News10NBC will continue to press police until we can bring you those answers.
