Khazix with new items
I was thinking with khazix how he does more damage when people are by theirselves and isolated and i got to thinking how people would group together to prevent the extra damage you get. So i saw that new item with the cleave passive and aoe damage that upgrades from tiamat and realized that if they are all together, it hits them all and does 60% of your damage to everyone. And if they dont group up to prevent this item, khazix can then have the isolated effect and do large damage. Just something to think about the next time you play khazix
But..... hmm, I like this.
Unfortunately, most assassins want to be optimal at one thing instead of pretty good at multiple things. Generally, an assassin doesn't want to jump into the middle of a group of people because he will just get focused and explode because he is an assassin. Its like taking a sustained damage caster and building them for burst damage so they can be good at both!... but not great at anything. It just generally doesn't work with this genre. That being said, it does sound like something I would do in a normal game for the fun of it. |
The problem with Kha'zix, if you go into a big group, chances are you will just die. Go for an early Butalizer, followed by Last Whisperer. The single target damage you get is pretty damn good, armor is practically non-existent, and I've seen it work out nicely. You want to specialize in spell damage, which wants more raw damage and requires almost no AA's. If you need a split pusher then it would be a good item, but your priority should be to get as much AD and armor pen as you can a focus the squishies
How to play Kha MY way (not the only way, just the way i prefer)
Jungle until you get wriggles grab a sightstone if youre fed Set up shop in the enemy jungle for awhile. take everything, gank. repeat until you want to buy again. if anyone walks into your jungle? its YOUR F***ING JUNGLE. NOONE can match a well-played Kha's damage in the jungle. Then build LW, or BT, then fill out resistances/damage as required. |
I feel like sightstone is core in the jungle, wriggles feels wasted on him and sightstone builds into something nice and provides him with much needed mana regen

Outside pressure is welcome after election fraud in Belarus, Ivory Coast
Defenders of autocrats in Belarus and Ivory Coast warn the world not to interfere in internal affairs in those countries. The world should do just that.
Once again, in the global struggle over democracy, the sovereignty card is being played in defense of election fraud.
Outsiders must not meddle with "internal matters" such as elections, warn supporters of autocrats in Belarus and Ivory Coast – two distant points on the globe that are joined in their recent defiance of honoring free and fair democratic elections.
But meddle, outsiders did – and still must.
World attitudes about trespassing on other nations' sovereignty coalesced after the cold war, prompted by the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and before that, the spread of democracy in Latin America and Asia during the '80s.
A kind of global consensus formed that a severe humanitarian or human rights crisis could justify diplomatic, economic, and even military intervention – especially if it threatened to destabilize an entire region. The tragedy of nonintervention in the 1994 Rwanda genocide reinforced that view.
Terrorism acted as another catalyst, with George W. Bush on a democracy tear, attempting to spread freedoms in the Middle East that would dry up the appeal of Islamist jihad. That fervor has been tempered under President Obama – as seen in his weak response to Egypt's recent sham elections.

A St. Louis man received the wrong medicine from a Walgreens pharmacy and took that wrong medicine for several days. He says it nearly killed him, now he's suing for millions.
Ron Apenbrinck says he now has to take 11 medications a day because he got the wrong medicine at the Walgreens on South Kingshighway Boulevard.
"My life has been Hell since then, I can't work no more, I'm in constant pain" said Apenbrink.
He says he was taking Hydrocodone for a hernia, instead he got something called Amlodipine Besylate; a pill for patients with heart problems. The bag had his name on it, but the pill bottle had the name of a different patient, Apenbrinck says he didn't read the bottle and took the pill several times a day for several days. He ended up becoming dizzy and falling off of a ledge.
"I was in a lot of pain, my wife was crying screaming for help" said Apenbrink.
He spent several days in the hospital suffering from what he called a mini-stroke.
In the lawsuit, his lawyer says Apenbrink he now suffers from an irregular heartbeat, injuries to his head, neck, back, even his nervous system and that the injuries are permanent.
Ron told News 4 he "called Walgreens and they said they were sorry and they had tried to get a hold of me but did not have my information so they could not get a hold of me."
News 4 asked Walgreens if this case warranted more than a phone call, and at what point would a Walgreens employee drive to someone's home to get the wrong medicine.
Walgreens said they couldn't comment but that situations like this are rare - but do happen.
The Missouri Pharmacy Board investigated 74 complaints last year of customers receiving the wrong medicine or the wrong dosage from pharmacies around the state.
Apenbrinck says he's learned something from the experience, "look at your medication before you take it, if you have questions ask the pharmacist."
Walgreens did give News 4 this statement: cases like this are rare, and we take them very seriously. We're sorry this occurred and we tried to contact the family within hours from when the prescription was filled to apologize. We have a multi step prescription filling process with numerous safety checks in each step to reduce the chance of human error.
We investigate what happens in each case and work to prevent it from happening again.
Apenbrinck's lawyer didn't want News 4 to release the voicemails from Walgreens employees, but Investigator Chris Nagus did hear them.
He says a Walgreens employee did apologize, and said they would take care of medical bills.
News 4 will let you know how this case is resolved.

Zeta: Yet another dc-dc topology
Call me slow, but I only just discovered the zeta dc-dc power converter topology.
It is a bit like sepic and Cuk, in that the output can be higher or lower than the input.
And that there are two inductors and a series capacitor.
And it is a bit like sepic in that the output polarity is the same as the input polarity. (Cuk swaps polarity).
And, it is also called inverse-sepic.
Pick your favourite chip company
Texas Instruments has a nice description of zeta in this application note.
Linear Tech also offers zeta chapter and verse.
As does Microchip, and in this one is how to implement a battery charger with the topology on a microcontroller.
Analog Devices has one too.
It says if sepic is considered a modified boost converter, then zeta is a modified buck converter.
Zeta has low output ripple and high input ripple (opposite to sepic. Cuk has both low).

Lie to me,
Tell me no truth,
this heart is cracked enough,
It's broken and scarred,
blood's seeping through,
the last truth was enough.
Lie to me,
Make this heart smile,
Watch it lest it frown,
Selfish expressions
of love and war,
Might send it spiraling down.
Lie to me,
Let your lips wander,
stray from words that hurt.
Leave my brain to ponder,
Useless ideas floating everywhere,
Useless, crazy ideas.
Lie to me,
Tell me you love me,
Tell me that you care.
Then watch your lies
nibble at my soul,
watch them throw me to despair.

In Situ Fabrication of AlN Coating by Reactive Plasma Spraying of Al/AlN Powder
Received: 1 August 2011 / Revised: 22 September 2011 / Accepted: 26 September 2011 / Published: 3 October 2011
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Advanced Thermal Spray Coatings for Emerging Applications)
Abstract: Reactive plasma spraying is a promising technology for the in situ formation of aluminum nitride (AlN) coatings. Recently, it became possible to fabricate cubic-AlN-(c-AlN) based coatings through reactive plasma spraying of Al powder in an ambient atmosphere. However, it was difficult to fabricate a coating with high AlN content and suitable thickness due to the coalescence of the Al particles. In this study, the influence of using AlN additive (h-AlN) to increase the AlN content of the coating and improve the reaction process was investigated. The simple mixing of Al and AlN powders was not suitable for fabricating AlN coatings through reactive plasma spraying. However, it was possible to prepare a homogenously mixed, agglomerated and dispersed Al/AlN mixture (which enabled in-flight interaction between the powder and the surrounding plasma) by wet-mixing in a planetary mill. Increasing the AlN content in the mixture prevented coalescence and increased the nitride content gradually. Using 30 to 40 wt% AlN was sufficient to fabricate a thick (more than 200 µm) AlN coating with high hardness (approximately 1000 Hv). The AlN additive prevented the coalescence of Al metal and enhanced post-deposition nitriding through N2 plasma irradiation by allowing the nitriding species in the plasma to impinge on a larger Al surface area. Using AlN as a feedstock additive was found to be a suitable method for fabricating AlN coatings by reactive plasma spraying. Moreover, the fabricated coatings consist of hexagonal (h-AlN), c-AlN (rock-salt and zinc-blend phases) and certain oxides: aluminum oxynitride (Al5O6N), cubic sphalerite Al23O27N5 (ALON) and Al2O3. The zinc-blend c-AlN and ALON phases were attributed to the transformation of the h-AlN feedstock during the reactive plasma spraying. Thus, the zinc-blend c-AlN and ALON phases were not included in the feedstock and were not formed through nitriding of the Al.

Food Allergy
A few specific foods seem to cause a majority of the food reactions. The most common triggers of a food reaction include:
- Cow's milk
- Eggs
- Peanuts
- Wheat
- Soy
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Tree nuts such as walnuts and pecans
- Sesame seeds
Risk Factors
This condition is more common in young children.
Factors that increase your chance of food allergies include:
Symptoms include:
- Skin rash, especially hives
- Swelling in the lips, mouth, tongue, and throat
- Stomach cramps, pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Skin itching
- Cough
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Nasal congestion
- Severe drop in blood pressure
- Gurgling stomach

You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Food allergies are often diagnosed based on your own observations. It is a good idea to keep a diary of your symptoms. Note when the symptoms occur and what you have eaten.
Tests may include:
Elimination Diet
You may be asked to go on an
elimination diet
. This should be done under your doctor's care. You will not eat a suspected food. If your symptoms decrease or go away, your doctor may be able to make a diagnosis. If you eat the food and your symptoms come back, the diagnosis is confirmed. This is most often only done in cases of skin irritation or
atopic dermatitis
Scratch Skin Test
A diluted extract of the food will be placed on the skin of your forearm or back. The skin is scratched with a small pick or tiny needles. If there is swelling or redness, an allergic reaction may be present. The doctor will make the diagnosis based on the skin test and your history of symptoms. In rare cases, skin tests can have a severe allergic reaction. This test should only be used under the supervision of a physician or other trained medical personnel. Severe eczema may make this test hard to interpret.
RAST or ELISA Test
The doctor may order blood tests (RAST or ELISA). These tests measure the level of food-specific IgE in the blood. IgE is a type of protein that the body produces when it is exposed to something to which it is allergic. The presence of IgE in the blood may indicate an allergy, but is not enough to make a diagnosis.
Avoid foods and food ingredients that cause you to have an allergic reaction. If you think you've eaten something to which you are allergic and you have difficulty breathing, then call for emergency medical help.
Treatments include:
- Epinephrine —injected immediately in the event of a severe, life-threatening reaction (anaphylaxis)
- Antihistamine medication —to decrease swelling and itching
- Corticosteroid medication—for more severe swelling and itching
If you are diagnosed with a food allergy, follow your doctor's
Consider seeing an allergist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating allergies.
To reduce your chance of having a food allergy reaction:
- Avoid eating or drinking substances to which you know you are allergic.
- Read the ingredient label on every food product that you eat.
- If you go to a restaurant, discuss your allergy with the food server. Ask about all ingredients.
- Learn the other names for all your allergens. This will help you recognize them on an ingredients list.
- If you have a severe, anaphylactic-type food allergy, ask your doctor if you should carry a dose of epinephrine with you.
- Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet to inform others of your allergy.
- Be aware that food may become contaminated by shared utensils, containers, and during preparation.

6-week-old white German Shepherd puppy
People often ask about the best way to start potty training their puppy. The best way to start is to only allow your puppy to eat when you have time to take them outside. This doesn't mean starving your little pooch. It simply means you feed him or her two or three times a day when you are home and can watch for the signs of needing to eliminate. The signs to watch for are pacing, whining, or a lot of sniffing the ground. When you feed your puppy you can expect it to need to eliminate within 10 – 20 minutes. So start a routine and stick to it. A growing puppy should be fed more than once a day, so plan his/her feeding schedule around yours. Feed your pup as soon as you get up in the morning after you take him or her outside first. Get yourself ready for the day and then take your puppy out to do their business. Remember to praise him or her with lots of excitement in your voice for going potty outside.
Have a special place in your home for the puppy to stay during the day where he or she can feel safe and comfortable. Make certain this is a place where if accidents happen you won't be too upset. Do not confine your puppy to a dog crate all day long. If you use a crate put it in a room where you can leave the door open so the puppy can sleep in the crate, but still get out and stretch their legs. Crates are good for short periods of time but a dog should not be left in them all day long.
Do not leave food out for your puppy to "nibble" on all day; this will increase chances for accidents during the day. If you work outside of the home, make certain to take them out as soon as you return from being gone. Your puppy will be excited to see you and may have an accident if you do not take it out immediately. After taking your puppy out, be sure to offer food as he or she will be hungry. Do not feed your puppy at least 1-2 hours prior to going to bed; unless you like being awakened in the middle of the night. It is best to remove their water an hour before going to bed as well. Don't forget to take them out one last time before you turn in for the night.
Be prepared; if you get your puppy during winter months, you may have to start with paper training first. You can not to take a 6-8 week old puppy out and set him or her in a pile of snow and expect results from a shivering puppy.
The secret to happy housebreaking is to be consistent in your puppy's routine. This is a very important time in a growing puppy's life and they need to know you are the leader of the pack. Show them a stable routine and you will have a much simpler time with housetraining.

text: New UTMB graduate students celebrate Community of Scholars Galveston County Daily News September 2, 2014 Sixty-six new students were welcomed to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences during the annual Community of Scholars ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 27 in UTMB's Levin Hall. This event was led by master of ceremonies, professor Joan Nichols, GSBS dean for student affairs. Sponsored by the Graduate Student Organization, the event featured a keynote address by professor Sheryl Bishop entitled, "The Hard Work of Discovery." Bishop is the recipient of the student group's 2014 Outstanding Teacher Award. In her address, she opened by citing the intellectual intensity, long hours and dedication that permeate the daily life of the budding researcher. Bishop then segued this discussion into the reasons that make this journey certainly worth the effort. What do you get for all this," asked Bishop. "The same thing every explorer in human history has gotten: the unique joy of discovery; the thrill of connecting that next piece of the puzzle to the whole; the exhilaration of making your own personal contribution to the common knowledge; the excitement of defining the next part of the journey; the opportunity to be the first to find, the first to understand, the first to lead the way forward." Bishop concluded by driving home the point that research is an endeavor for which the journey never ends. Each new inquiry, whether it is an extension of prior work or a completely new focus, will be quest for answers, an adventure with its fair share of blood, sweat and tears in addition to the glory of discovery, success and triumph. You must be ready for anything," David Briley, president of the GSO, and David Niesel, dean of the graduate school, welcomed the group to campus and the start of their new scientific careers. Robert Fader, president of the GSBS Associate Executive Committee discussed the availability of alumni as a resource. Amit Kumar of the population health sciences program, Rimma Osipov of the combined M.D. - Ph.D. program and Stephanie Vega of the microbiology and immunology program provided insight into what it takes to succeed in the GSBS, what pitfalls to avoid and how to find fun along the way. Symbolizing the pursuit of science and scholarship, pins bearing the image of an open book and leather portfolios were given out by GSBS dean David Niesel, GSO treasurer Sergio Rodriguez and GSO secretary Elizabeth Crofton. The ceremony concluded with a recitation of the Graduate Student Code of Conduct, led by GSO vice president Shannon Ronca.

Thanks Dad... I Guess
I know that I'm not the only person to have had this experience. Life is not always sweet but we can make of it what we choose.My father was completely disassociated… from everything not just me. When he got home from the office he sat and played solitaire, never speaking or interacting with the family. Occasionally he would erupt in a rage and beat my older brother, never me and the outbursts were rare but the risk was always there just below the surface. He actually just sat silent in his chair 95% of the time for 15 years. Perhaps there were reasons for his state but that's another story. This one is about me.
I was an accomplished athlete, playing many sports in which I excelled. Each year at the awards banquet I had to mount the stage to receive my awards, best hitter, best offensive lineman, best defensive lineman, outstanding pla
At age 10 I began martial arts training (on my own initiative and along with my other sporting endeavors). Over the years I became a very proficient competitor, winning in local, regional and national competitions. Eventually becoming a pro and making it onto ABC TV's Wide World of sports. Once again my parents never recognized any of my achievements. My neighbors saw me on the tube but I have no idea if my father ever saw me in action.
What can I say about it? I learned to act in my own self interests, setting my own agenda and judging the results of my actions without input from others. Yes I became isolated and perhaps I was still seeking approval through my continued involvement in high level combat sport. Maybe my need to compete and excel is the result of my parent's lack of involvement but what ever the cause I have chosen to seek excellence and become my own person.
So…. thanks dad… I made it anyway.
----- Update 7/5/10 ------
I wrote this story in a couple of minutes without much thought. I've been over these circumstances many, many times and had thought I was beyond the whole thing and I don't know what brought me to the point of writing about it.
The gracious response of EPeeps to this post has been surprising and humbling.
However what is most surprising is my reaction to some of the story's negative comments.
EP is a free for all and any story out there is fair game for anyone to comment on, positively or negatively.
I'm a "big boy" and have had my share of banal, pointless or vindictive comments on my stories. So what? Its no big deal and most of us have had similar experiences when we post. We usually just blow them off with a shrug.
Yet when "yeshucan" posted a less than complementary comment I went off.
What was THAT about? (NDD rolls his eyes at himself!)
It is true that he made inaccurate assumptions, charged me with misrepresentation and gave me impossible advice (both of my parents are long dead and buried) but so what? He was not grossly offensive nor did he score a telling blow to my sense of honor. So why did I bother to respond at all?
As some of you have commented these types of situations generate feelings of inferiority and self doubt in children living in dysfunctional families. I to have had to deal with my own "unworthiness" and although I thought I'd gotten it under control (it's been a hell of a long time since these events occurred) apparently I'm still struggling with the issue.
I've been in the process of trying to address an age old and important question. "Who am I, really?" Am I just the sum of my experiences or is the state of my consciousness as I experience life the primary factor? This question calls for close examination of my entire life and it appears I've brought unresolved feelings and memories to the surface. My unworthiness now seems to be bubbling just below my daily stream of consciousness and unfortunately I'm not advanced enough to meet a direct assault on my worth as a human with equanimity.
So…. once again EP has served its purpose. I am being forced to deal with my delusions and release my attempts to grasp at a (long held) false persona as the "alpha dog" to protect myself from the wounds of long ago. I know that I'll never "get over it" because the wounds have long since scared over and that inflexible tissue will be a life long part of my psyche.
Now I'll just have to learn to let it be, accepting it and try to learn to view both my father and myself with compassion. Wish me luck.
I'm still smarting from this experience and I wonder if I owe "yeshucan" an apology or a thank you for focusing my attention on an unresolved bit of my past - (nods to WiB). Anyone care to offer me advice on this?
BTW: I was never a national champ and was mediocre as a pro. This story was not intended to garner me any ego strokes. I cited my atheletics to raise the issue of parental support. I I believe I have done other things that outweigh any achievements I managed in athletics.

If you were my son, I'd be proud of you and tell all my friends about how great you are.
Congrats to you. Yours is a hard story to read. You turned out alright, and I hope you find compassion for yourself, as you're trying to do. Best wishes. :)
This is an awesome story. You seem like a deep, thoughtful and reflective person. Just wanted to say I very much enjoyed reading your story. My dad was also very detached. I think he may have had less than 10 conversations with me. Now he is quite old and is actually not there at all mentally. It's impossible for me to connect with him now, or have any sort of relevant conversation.
yes... some dads suck... i have a lot of anger and i always try to let it go. I love the way you write. Sucks because you should have had a good daddy:( Sounds like you were a great kid! Looks like you are doing well...Don't listen to people. Most are just ********. Just listen to the people you love or respect
great story thanks for sharing, wow i found another group i relate too and in less than 1 day. Thanks EP. I am not ready to open the wounds of my dad yet, i have before on another forum and got support. I'm actually kinda over him to some extent now. After all i had been through in the past, well at least 6 years, New pain scarred over some of the old. but it still "smarts" I know. Bless you on your journey through life.

Someone once told me when I was close to my lowest "you are a spiritual being having a human experience" I keep reminding myself of that and it gets me through. Peace and Light
I think that is so sad, but you hang in there your reward is going to be greater, and I must say that I would that it is dysfunctional for your dad to be like that they should be proud of you and support you all the way, it's good that you are doing something positive with your life with all the negative things going on. Keep up the good work, I'm proud of you, all your hard work is paying off, keep doing it for yourself, keep on keeping on.
Enjoyed your story tuff being a child and haveing to deal with what must of felt like rejection. 10 out of 10 for makeing something of yourself. Maybe your Dad had bipolar it wasn't known as that in the day. Mood swings of note without provocation and really not in their control. Needs medication, who knows. Have a happy day.
Well now

let me get in on the end coach.

What did you learn from your youth experience ?Did it make you a better parent now,?

Well done if it did you a strong character from your determination in achieving Would you have been different if you had dad support

Who Knows? All you have to remember is that you learned to do things in a certain way that was maybe different from your dad good or bad AS LONG AS YOU LEARNED SOMETHING FROM IT.

Try to think of something nice your dad did back then and hang on to it its lighter baggage than the negative things.

Aside "those days were difficult ,what with war and conflict going on maybe he was living in the past So What -' You alive and well and i think doing just fine

"Put your past in your behind" Who said that:) today you are the youngest you will ever be live it up - back then aint nothing right now AWE SHUCKS hang in there . YOU OK Mark it up to the lesson he taught you Be positive. Bye now
how can i get my dad help me put on a jockstrap and spanky on my birthday right back
That's not nice. Why don't you act like a real man instead of something stuck on the bottom of the ocean or the bottom of someone's shoe? It's dudes like you that are an insult to what little decent men there are left in the world.
Reading your story immediately made me feel sad. I am a mother of two (soon to be three), and I think one of the worst things you can do to a child is ignore it. What happens when you get ignored is you internalize this message of "I'm unimportant", but of course you are not really. So it's just really wrong and irresponsible of a parent to NOT be there. Of course now though, as an adult yourself you have the power and the ability to negate any of the effects their behaviour had on you. In fact you can use that experience to go in the completely opposite direction, and be a strong proponent of proper parenting to others.

And just so you know I think it is so cool that at your age you are still introspective and desiring to understand and talk about your past experiences. I see so many people, much younger than yourself who are just so emotionally flat. Who don't have any clue how their past experiences factor into their views and actions now. Your story is a refreshing deviation from the dull mindedness that is so common out there these days.
To the OP:

You have taken the anger and sense of betrayal that accompanied your life from your earliest years and are trying to make something positive with it. Congratulations for taking that huge step. I recognize and respect your courage in doing so. I also appreciate the way you have mulled over the responses here, both positive and negative. I am trying to learn from reading this and from watching your example.

Here's something I've encountered in my own spiritual journeying which might interest you. I've been exploring shamanism and shamanic thinking, which in its essence is a path of self awareness as most of the other spiritually fulfilling traditions also seem to offer. In this instance, the thought (actually, experiential) process begins with the self, extends to one's environment, and progresses in a transformative manner to enable the person to become a positive force. And how it does this involves the notion of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is not a tool to accomplish a goal. It is instead a state of being. In this tradition one cannot come into a state of forgiveness until some threshold efforts are made. One of these is the intention and practice of gratitude. That took me by surprise when I first read it, but I can see the truth in the idea. We tend to be uncomfortable with even the idea of gratitude, particularly when we are justified in our anger. That, of course, is our challenge. When we can place our anger in a proper role, we may continue to acknowledge and respect it, but at the same we become protected from its toxic effects. One way to do this is by the practice of gratitude.

Like anything else, we begin slowly. A technique is to form the intention every morning upon waking to think of something in our lives for which we actually do feel grateful. We need not feel gratitude towards anyone at all to do this. All we need do is enter a state of gratitude. So - lets start simply. I love the flavor, aroma and texture of a beautiful, fully ripened peach. The experience of eating a peach over the kitchen sink because it is so juicy is one I never forget and always appreciate. So I can intention gratitude over this experience. I can give myself over fully to a state of appreciation for every detail of that experience. In so doing I enter a state of grace, even if only momentarily, and that in and of itself will make me spiritually a little healthier. This is what I'm talking about.

As you become acclimated to the idea and find it easier to practice gratitude over a particular thing, you will be able to expand that intentioned feeling to other things, people, events, or states of mind. Allow it to happen. Slowly you will be able to enter into a state of gratitude at will, in any situation, and at any time of day or night. It will be a powerful force to bring you peace in a moment of chaos.

That's a lot about gratitude, but I wanted to make one clear illustration of a way to begin a journey on the shamanic path. It leads in time and experience to an understanding of forgiveness, which is a profound state of grace. That in turn will enable you to develop a sense called "seeing" in shamanic terms, which is far more encompassing than our ordinary use of the term. We see people, we see their energy, we see their emotions, pain, anger, disease, fears and so on. "Seeing" a person itself becomes a profound and intimate experience.

Finally the path takes us to an understanding and incorporation within ourselves of the idea of "blessing." The idea here is that in blessing, we are able to act in a manner consistent with our spirit. But blessing is not something we "do". It is something we share. And so the person with whom we interact in blessing in turn blesses us, whether aware of it or not. It is a little like love in that the more you give away, the more you seem to have.

Blessings upon you and may your path bring you peace and fulfillment.
I've heard allot of people say that what is done to you you will do to others. Especially if it is someone as close, not to mention a parent. I share a similar experience. I have never spoken more than 10 words at a time with my father and I grew up in the same house as him. Ever since I can remeber me and both my brothers and sister call him by name and I have no idea why. Friends used to ask me why do you call him by name and we would just shrug, smile and say I don't know how to call him anything else. When I went to visit my friends, I struggled to get the concept of fatherly love. I've always tried my best to understand why my friend called her father pappa and why he would came into the room to say good night and hug his daughter. I just shrugged it of again and thought about the pretty pictures on her bedroom wall and the books on her bedroomshelf. and that made me feel better and smile and then I could fall asleep.

I just got so emotional that I can't remember what I wanted to say...

So yes... this is how my relationship with my father was ever since I can remeber: My whole life I hafve been terrified by him. He abused my mother, emotionally and sometimes physically. He's always stressed. He talked about money always. I broke my arm once and he said that Í'm wasting his money again. He didn't want to pay our schoolfees, we had no relationship whatsoever through out my childhood and growingup. Non the less I am thankful that he kept us alive. My brother and sister don;t have a problem talking to him. I don't know why I do.

Not having a loving relationship has affected me allot. Firstly I have problems with relationships. I do not know how to handle conflict. I do not know how to be comfortable around men. I'm change gears into survival mode instantly. I'm careful to say what I think. ... etc. And I struggle to see the good in men. It takes me a long timne to be convinced even if it is a good man that a person is good. I push people away. I isolate myself. My mother sometimes to scared to stand up for us. But this post is not about my parents. I seek to know the answers how to change what the world has made of me. I want to be happy and carefree as I can be. I want emotional security.

What I am scared of is that I will become what I've been taught by bad examples of relationships (friendship I did not learn form my parents, they tend to isolate themselves, love I learnt form my mother, stress i learnt from my father, anger I learnt form my father, isolation i learnt from my father, understanding I learnt form my mother, ...etc). I am emotionally blunt. I cry easily. struggle to say things like I love you while feeling the emotion. I don't know how the emotion feels. What seperates it? What is the definition. I have an idea, but I feel as though it is not overpowering my life. I wake up and when I think of people I think :Í hate people''.Most of my vocabulary has the word 'hate'in it AND THAT MAKES ME SAD. i HAVE HAD GLIMPSES OF LOVE WHICH KEEPS ME GOING (grandmother, mother, brothers sister,etc.)... such is life. I just wrote a few sentences in capital letter. I did not notice until afterwards I only noticed, But Im to lazy to trace back my thoughts. Anyway. My idea of love is warped. And I'm scared that I might have the same effect on my children one day. How to trust people if its been brooken so many times.
Props to you for a well thought out piece. Thought provoking
I feel that your dad wasnt responsible as a father, we are always looking for approval from our parents and its a natural thing. He must have his problems but neglects imprint stays, I know that because I feel my dad is never there for me as well. You became a better person though, dont ever feel less than you are worth. If you keep perservering you could become known to everyone and you wont need approval from anyone because that feeling will be immense. It isnt your fault your family isnt there, believe in yourself.
Thank you for your moving words. I feel as you do. My father was never there for me either, and it is only now that he begins to care about me even slightly. I am sorry for your loss, as he is gone and can never make amends to you. Your words bring a bitter wistful smile to my features, and I am glad you overcame.
Congratulations on finding the courage to share your life story with everyone else. To tell you the truth, I can relate to your story. But, I'm not gonna do deeper, this is your story so I wish you good luck and I truly hope you are happy in life.
I loved your story, so inspiring. You become what you wanted to become though life is too sad for you because of the people are wasn't there when you need them the most. But hey, look at what you've had accomplished! It's a life's experience that you should be proud of. Your father were surely are proud of you..
You know, I like this story only because, the way you describe yourself...I'd think on the surface, there's a perfect person, popular guy everyone likes, he can't possibly have any problems like the rest of us poor losers.

I can't understand why your parent...wait, where was your mom? Did you ever ask them straight up why they didn't come? If it had been me, I would've thrown a big fit to my parents and screamed and cried, "you never ever come to my awards ceremonies why the **** don't you care about me!!" If I was you in your shoes today this very day, I'd go over to my parent's house and say, "I've had something bothering me on my mind. Why did you guys show no interest whatsoever in what I did in my life when I was young and you were unsupportive, showing no interest in my life? Don't you love me? I just don't get it. DO you even love me? Why wouldn't you pretend I exist, if you do?" Exactly that, exactly that way, angrily, is what I would say and do.

Which is probably why I'm unpopular. But yeah no way could I hold all that in. I'd totally unleash and be like, "parents what the **** is wrong with you ahh I hate you!!"

I can't not express what I feel. Maybe it is part of what's wrong with me, but, if I feel something, I have problems not just telling it straight and letting it out without thought.

I am angry at your parents because I am picturing myself as you, and that makes me pissed off at them. On the other hand, I am very confused.

That is not normal parental behavior. it's not as cut and dried as just they are abusive ******. Ignoring you like that and showing no interest is actually so weird it is kind of interesting. Interesting, in the way of a deranged person is and you wonder what goes on in their head. So if I was you, I would be asking my parents all kinds of questions trying to find out how they think and why they do the things that they do, maybe, they don't even know how they affected you or what they did...they might be sort of like a criminally insane person, unaware of the effects of their actions. Well, not everyone is born knowing how to be a good parent. There is no instruction manual. maybe, they just happened to not be good at parenting because they have no clue how to do parent. So maybe, I might forgive them a little and try to show them what they should do...as in, "hey, everyone else's parents attended, but you didn't, what makes you different?" And try to learn about what their problem is so you can fix it.

It's pointless to say could've would've should've because even if your parents regret how they treated you they can't go back in time and re-do it. You can only build a relationship with them now. Get them involved in your life. Get them to cheer you on now and have them show they believe in you NOW. Maybe they need an instruction manual, you need to tell them how to do it and why they need to do it and that you feel unloved when they show absolutely no interest in your life and act like they do not approve of what you do with your life...

Think about how awesome your life would be, everything perfect not just outwardly but inwardly, if you could fix this problem with your parents....

But you shouldn't take my advice, if I had good advice I'd be successful like you.
If I may and if it hasn't been said. "what you know were denied from your parents, you can with great pride give to your children. As that would be their greatest gift and your greatest achievement.

And I so agree that no one should cause you any anxiety. But there are those times when we ourselves fail at keeping their hate at bay and turn on them in their manner that we detest. We are all human. Forgiveness heals the soul.
I just read your post and your reply on yeshucan's comment.

I have some what similar issues from my own youth. My problems lie on the fact that neither my parents, nor teachers, helped me along in school so I was always at the bottom failing my classes and just not getting anywhere. I also had other problems with my past that would make this a long reply, which is not the reason I am replying.

I enjoyed reading this because you were able to do the things I wasn't able to do, which was get yourself ahead on your own. I wasn't able to because I never knew I could, which is causing me to rush to learn right now.

I was really impressed by how you handled your reply to yeshucan because I have lost a huge amount of patience with in the last few years causing me to become very agitated very quickly. I am now realising how much I have changed in the last several years since I have graduated so now I need to find out how I can just relax and really grab life by the nuts and just take it easy more.

Thank you for showing me this.
Support of family becomes very essential when one is down,whether mentally or physically. Family is a support system that everyone requires.

But I think your family loves you in a way and its just that maybe they dont know how to express.

The very fact that you were able to participate in national level games cant be 100% without the support of your family.You are very expressive and the fact that you spoke out this on Ep is the proof of it.

just voice out your thoughts to your family and make them realise that you miss their words of wisdom and encouragement

I am sure they will understand.
Your story touched me and makes me sad. You had to become your own cheer-leader and you have. You continued to achieve in so many areas and carried on with no family support. I can relate to this totally. There is always that emptyness inside and so what if you blew at someone who was critical towards you.? I'm sure you have a lot of pain in you that you've kept in abayyance. (spelling?). Anger covers pain and anyone who can't see how difficult it is to live one's life without any family support and being ignored to boot can't see reality. I am proud of you for doing what you've needed to make your own life worthwhile. And to your reaction to a negative comment, it just brought out in you what's always been there that loss of not having your family to commend and to congradulate you on your achievements. This is always going to be a loss since I as well came from a similar type of family. Not only was i ignored i was also abused in all ways. I as well went 'to the top' and was in Whose

Who in America, Whose Who in the World and of American Woman and you know what? Not one accolade of congradulations from any of my family members. i had to give it to myself and one friend also gave me her blessings and her praise. I know from where you speak. You're good. You're brave and I see no need to apologize. it's true other people's reactions to our stories bring out a reaction in us that is a part of us and all it does is make us aware that it's there. Congradulations on your achievements. Blessings! Velvetflow
Wow, reading all these stories has actually made me feel grateful. A little bit ashamed too of being so incredibly judgmental of my parents. My dad and I did have our issues when I worked for him, and when he taught me how to drive, at least he tried! He did yell at me and bring me down whenever I did something wrong.

This makes me feel more and more that there is something "wrong" with men, it's as if they were not taught how to be human but the opposite.

I did find sweet men in my life, never lost faith in men, I have a boyfriend who I deeply love, but I have heard just so many stories of men being bad fathers or not being there at all. My boyfriend has decided to cut his father out of his life recently and he really has no guilt whatsoever. He even wanted to be put for adoption as a child because he didn't feel good in his family.

What baffles me the most is: how come some people react one way and some another?

I have had plenty of conversations about life with my dad, he is actually quite a sensitive man and he even cries easily. His father was in a war for 4 years when he was 18, and he was sort of like your father Dog. As a granddaughter, I always felt weird about his lack of interest in talking to his own family. He did smile at small children, and animals, but he seemed unable to talk to me or any of us really. I asked him what he had for lunch once and he practically got offended by the question. My aunt, his daughter, did have a really rough time growing up with him and dealing with her life. Another aunt was kicked out of the house when became pregnant.

Anyway, my dad's childhood with his dad was SO much worse than mine, yet he dealt with his life as an adult very well. My childhood with my parents, now divorced, was perfectly decent except for some of their fighting, partly because of my dad's temper, and I just can't even begin to grow up. I am 24 years old and I have no ambition, my boyfriend supports me completely, I don't know what I want in life and I have had anxiety and panic episodes for years now, beginning before I my parents got divorced. They have a perfectly healthy relationship today, I am so proud of them, and I love them so much.

So I do admire you dog for your drive in life, whereas I have none, even with my parents support.

What I mostly encourage is your search for who you really are. You are not who you think you are, neither of us are. You are not your dad's unloved son, you are not the accomplished adult you grew up to be.

I feel so much for children who feel so negatively affected by their parents, myself included, that I really really don't even dare to attempt to be "better", I prefer not to be a mother at all. I don't know what I want to be, I don't know what I am.

I'd like to share this video with you all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_uRIMUBnvw

And all I can offer is the attitude of acceptance, which is the healthiest I know.

Love and peace to all of you.
Well thats really great. God put you in that position to grow as a person because He knew you can handle it. I feel so blessed i have supportive parents but thats really amazing how you've gone so far on your own, congratulations :)
My father has allways been there... in his house, but not with me. I am not an athlete, but I have trained swimming, swimmed for years including in open sea competitions. Once my father said that my swimming training was only a form of loosing work or business time. He has never invited or shared a beer with me. Has never said I love you. Has never given finnancial advice. Has critizized me when I quit a job because that I want to be more with my kids, because this quitting goes against money growth. Guess what? Everybody thinks well of him, that he is a good and great guy. And he is, in some ways.

Sometimes we forget that our fathers are humans, that they too had a personal struggle in life. We need to study them and have some pity, once we understand WHY they made those mistakes, it is possible to love or forgive them. The effort and sacrifice to raise kids is great. But giving love, only a few give quality love.

I hope you have a relationship with your spouse and kids that is good, so you can break, as you did in sports, the chain of failure - the failure to give affection.
parents have their flaws.. very little of us has had the opportunity or the luck to have one of those perfect types (if such exists) of parents. however, they are as they are and we have to make do with what was given. my hats off to you for rising over such past. i never did. i envy you.
You know, I read your story and for all you fools out there, what happens during childhood does affect who we become as adults. Don't judge unless you have walked a mile in this person's shoes.

When I was 16, I got pregnant. Coming from a house with an overtly abusive stepmother and a father who always worked, this honestly was not surprising. When a person is neglected and abused at home, they go looking for love anywhere they can find it.

After I became pregnant and had my oldest daughter at 17, my father quit speaking to me. We did not have a relationship until I was 30. Because of this experience, I have to deal with an immense fear of rejection on a regular basis.

I get exactly how you feel. I have worked hard to overcome my fears and torments, but it is still a day to day struggle. Keep the faith...
Congrats look at how many people have been moved by your story, does not in any way make up for your parents not being there, however you have risen above your parents failure to support you. I do not know if you have children, if you do what an opportunity to shine in ways your parents never did

Good Luck .
keep that winning spirit up . thumbs up ..

Career advice, interview questions, salary comparisons, and resume tips from Monster. Resume and Application Tips. CareerDiva - Career Advice, Labor Issues, Job News and Opportunities, Balancing Work and Family. Are you afraid to ask for flexible work arrangements to deal with family issues?
Or, do you think your employees aren't forthcoming about their work-life needs; and if they are do you worry requests for alternative work schedules could impact the bottom line? Discussions about using flexibility in order to make work "work" better for employees and employers can be difficult and that's why some people try to avoid them. But what if you were forced to sit down and talk? One politician in San Francisco – David Chiu, the city's Board of Supervisors' President — decided employees and employers needed a "nudge," so he introduced an ordinance to mandate such conversation, an ordinance that recently passed and goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.

But equally important in today's job market is finding your place online and becoming visible to employers who seek an employee with your skill set. Even if you aren't actively engaged in a job search, it's wise to build your online reputation so jobs are more likely to come to you.

By Jess Zimmerman Bikeshares are a really smart idea, so participants obviously know how to use their brains — but they apparently don't know how to protect them. Helmet use on bikeshare bikes is pretty abysmal — data from Boston's bikeshare program show that only 30 percent of users wear a helmet. So a group of adorable MIT undergraduates has invented HelmetHub, a vending machine that dispenses bike helmets for $8 a pop.

Though several Pac-12 teams gained commitments over the past week, Stanford stole the show with a huge pickup on Saturday. Wednesday's class rankings reflect the Cardinal's big day, as David Shaw's program jumped several spots and widened the gap between its top class and Arizona, which holds firm at No. 2 in the conference.
Trending up: Stanford
The Cardinal moved from No. 30 to No. 27, thanks to the commitments of three-star defenders Joey Alfieri (Portland, Ore./Jesuit), Kirk Tucker (Tucker, Ga./Tucker) and Bobby Okereke (Tustin, Calif./Foothill). Stanford already holds the Pac-12's top recruiting class and could be poised to close in a big way, as ESPN 300 prospects Solomon Thomas (Coppell, Tex./Coppell), Casey Tucker (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton), Dalton Schultz (South Jordan, Utah/Bingham), Garrett Dickerson (Oradell, NJ/Bergen Catholic) and Nifae Lealao (Sacramento, Calif./Capital Christian) all have the Cardinal on their short lists.
Trending down: Oregon
Don't expect the Ducks to stay down for long, as they are sure to shoot up the rankings when official visits begin and that high-powered attack and those flashy uniforms hit the field this fall. But for now, things haven't been going the Ducks' way on the recruiting trail. They lost a big commitment two weeks ago when ESPN 300 linebacker Jordan Hoiem (Wailuku, Hawaii/Baldwin) made the decision to quit football. In state, the Ducks weren't able to lock up the top talent, as Alfieri is headed to Stanford while ESPN 300 defensive end Connor Humphreys (Portland, Ore./Central Catholic) never received an Oregon offer.

Gardening in the news
(Read article summary)News about plants - from old trees storing CO2 to the 'case of the poisoned plants.'
Typically, we gardeners don't think of our favorite activity as something likely to make the nightly news. But we'd be wrong. Frequently, a number of environmental issues connected to plants hit the headlines. And this week so have some lighter garden-related stories that may make you smile. (Anyone for growing asparagus on Mars?)
I like to keep up with the environmental news as it relates to plants. And the best way to do that, I've found, is to read Science Daily.
The article Plants Can Make Golf Courses Greener By Filtering Pesticides explains how a study identified 10 plants that were attractive and did a great deal to help remove pesticides from soils.
The clear winner? An old favorite, blue flag iris. Other top performers included eastern gama grass and big blue stem.
Ancient Oak Trees Help Reduce Global Warming will make you feel good.
The article reports: "Researchers at the Missouri Tree Ring Laboratory in the Department of Forestry discovered that trees submerged in freshwater aquatic systems store carbon for thousands of years, a significantly longer period of time than trees that fall in a forest, thus keeping carbon out of the atmosphere."
Everyone loves towering old trees. And what a delight to learn that all along they've been environmental do-gooders and keeping it a secret from us.
Since I've been following the issue of weeds and climate change, I took note of one more study on the subject: Elevated Carbon Dioxide Boosts Invasive Nutsedge Plants. The title says it all.

'Top Model' Judge Janice Dickinson Alleges Bill Cosby Drugged And Raped Her
Posted by Miss Info under About Miss Info , Crime , Life Beyond Rap , Not Good For Humanity , Outrage , UghNo Comments
Back when Janice Dickinson, the polarizing plasticized 70's-80's supermodel and America's Next Top Model judge, wrote her autobiography No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel in 2002, she allegedly included a story about being raped by Bill Cosby. In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dickinson both restates the Cosby rape allegation, but also claims that the legendary comedian and his legal team pressured her publisher HarperCollins to remove the story from the book's first draft. Instead, a less detailed story, stopping short of rape accusations but still creepy, was included. (Read that version here on Vice)
"The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man," she tells ET. "… Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was se–n in between my legs."

Red Sox Lose Their Troy Brown By: Bob George When he gets his day at Fenway, everyone should stand up and cheer a long time for this guy.... CLICK HERE TO READ THIS STORY
Troy Brown never became a washed up liability that was only starting to pursue a personal record, which ended up being a big reason why the Sox completed the greatest collapse in regular season history.
Wakefield sucks. Too worried about his own chase to the wins record. Glad he's gone. He's no Troy Brown either.
LOL. I remember your posts from last year. Great guy. But the tub of goo had to go. I think he was hiding in the corner with his bucket of popeyes chicken while the others were knocking back the brewskis. Troy Brown was workout nut. Wake looks like a forty something dad trying to fit into his polyester high school shirt. Like I said, great humanitarian. Deserving Roberto Clemente winner and multiple finalist. I hope he is a big part of the community for years to come.
:rofl: ...that's too funny. I don't know where this notion comes about that the Patriots exploy higher character/work ethic than other teams but it's complete nonsense. COMPLETE nonsense. Let's put this Patriot roster in a sport where they play 162 games in a 6 month period, they're on the road constantly, in each others company just about every single day ALL DAY for 6 straight months and we'll see how they do in the chicken and beer dept. The Patriots haven't choked in such dramatic fashion as the Sox did last year but our "high character" Pats they've been coughing up furballs in big games for quite a few years now. (Thank you Billy Cundiff) Tim Wakefield deserves all the accolades coming his way. Good pitcher for a long time and a great person who does tireless work for the Jimmy Fund and other local charities. Be hard pressed to find any Patriot player past or present does who has contributed more to this community than Wake.
Wake had his moments but lets be honest, how much are we really going to miss a guy who stepped out on a major league mound and threw 60 mph pitches to major league hitters.....he just wasn't what he used to be and it was time for him to step aside.
I suppose hating the Red Sox is within the realm of being normal. The sport and the way its administered has a tendency to make players look spoiled. Then of course there's the behavior of Mark MacGuire, Roger Clemens and Manny Ramirez; but hating Tim Wakefield is pretty much proof of a person being ignorant or a complete internet whackjob. He was a gentleman for 17 years. Personality-wize, effort-wise, ethics-wise, I'd guarantee the Pats would be happy to have 53 Wakefields in their locker room. I'll admit to never really understanding why the Knucklball worked and never really liking it; but the fact remains that it did get guys out for a long, long time.
He was never a complete ace of a pitcher, but he was so great because he would take any role the team needed him to and do it without complaining. He could pitch whenever he was needed, and saved this team quite a few times.
