I am looking to see how other people deal with this.
I have been in the adsense program 3 months now. I got my first check a couple of days ago.
I then realised that I am using a business account to recieve the check into. That means (here in Spain) that I need to send a bill for my services to Google (they are paying me, when I pay them I get a bill from them).
What do others do with these google checks when going into a business account and not a personal account?
I think the main reason I started doing this is that it makes it easier to categorize the income. I enter the number of impressions as the "Quantity" and the amount paid as the total. The software fills in the "Rate/Unit Price" which is the effective CPM. Then I can easily compare it with FastClick, Tribal Fusion, and other earnings.
I'm in the EU too (Netherlands) and we're required to send invoices by VAT legislation, but that doesn't apply to customers of advertizing services located in the US. We don't have to charge VAT and don't have to send an invoice, therefore. Doublecheck your assumption.
so if the if the service provider is based in the USA you do not have to send a bill, but by making a bill out, and not sending it, you get to discount the vat.
ok i think i can understand that (please feel free to correct me).
but by not actually sending the bill are you not violating local tax law?
So far as I'm aware Google Adsense payments do not include VAT, please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you raise the bill and keep a record then who on earth knows it hasn't been sent?
So i don't see what the problem is has long as you actually raise it.
If you issue the invoice, and you have a VAT surplus in your company, then you can offset that 16% VAT against your surplus, thus claiming it back.
but by declaring (giving to the tax man) a bill that you do not send you are in violation of tax law.
ok so the probability of being caught is very small.
if i start to do this i will always have a vat rebate in my favor (if the adsense checks stay hte size they are).
Don't know if this applies to EU but has anyone investigated whether adsense income can be considered 'passive' income. This might be similar to when you write a book or a song and then subsequently get income from the sales and royalties.
This might be income at a lower tax rate?
No, like I said, we're not required to charge VAT on Adsense earnings. I enter the invoice in my accounting software to add the Adsense earnings to my company's turnover.
No, sending a bill is mandatory only for VAT invoices.
Although I can't speak for other EU countries, I don't think this is correct. There's a whole bunch of rules about which services are and are not subject to VAT, and this is based on common EU directives these days.
There are exceptions for services rendered outside the EU and specific exceptions for advertisement services. IIRC, the exception for advertisement services makes the US the "place of service" ("location of service"?) and some other rule says you're not required to charge VAT for services rendered in the US.
Most tax handbooks don't even cover this, and I got some help from my local tax office, that pointed me to the specific exception for advertisement services in the VAT law.
Again, I can't speak for other EU countries, so check with your accountant or tax office. But do insist they check deep down into the exceptions on exceptions on exceptions.
And if all of this is different in your case, and you are required to charge VAT, you should charge it and Google should pay it and get it reimbursed. That's how VAT works.
Although I can't speak for other EU countries, I don't think this is correct.
What I understand, and please check for yourself, from the Inland Revenue is that there is no VAT on Adsense, there's nothing you can reclaim, or deduct etc.
And what I believe from my understanding of VAT is that if VAT were due Google would have to pay you your Adsense with VAT on top, and you'd then be paying that VAT portion to the tax office. (The VAT is or would be in addition to your Adsense earnings, not a part of it). This is the way Tradedoubler works, as I remember.
Hey, what's the weather like in Malta?
While I admit that I didn't pursue this too deeply (I have always had to pay VAT, so getting some back was useful) thats the way my Spanish accountants advised me to handle it after checking with Hacienda.
i am based in la coru�a, spain.
I do the same, but use a sales receipt instead of an invoice. A sales receipt is used where you receive full payment at the time of the sale. It's not much different to an invoice but it's one 'step' instead of two i.e. an invoice needs to be generated and then you need to enter the payment.

"The last thing the Communist Party wants is a large, sexually frustrated male population" - your comment.
Your comment makes sense - i.e., the linkage between sexual frustration and violence. But, historically I am not too sure whether it is true. For example, the biggest genocides in recent history were committed by the Spanish in South America, the English/Americans in North America and the Germans in Europe. Was there any sexual frustration at the time of those acts of violence??

I've been to LA, Fiji and New Zealand so far and I'm in Australia now until the end of January. I was traveling with a friend but she's homesick and cutting the trip short, so I am hoping to find a new travel buddy to explore Asia with. My plans are fairly flexible, but I'll be there from the end of January. That's pretty much all I know for now! Let me know if you're planning on doing something similar.

Leah, I've only done it the Native American way. Barbara Gonzalez had us wipe a thin layer of slip on the pot and burnish the damp slip till it shined. The pots were reddish brown before they were fired. We fired them in a open fire surrounded by dry cow chips. Then the fire was totally smothered with powered horse manure so no air could reach the pots. They came out a glossy black. A beautiful experience. Woody, Retired in Albuquerque

I have no idea what the original drunken sort-of-French sort-of-lyrics nonsense I posted here was.
Then again, it was posted at 4AM on New Year's Eve/Day, so I'm not too embarrassed about its pisshead qualities. I'm far more embarrased at the fact that on waking hungoverly at 9AM I'm checking the web and email for traces of embarrassing last-night activities…
Happy New Year, anyway.
Monthly Archives: December 2004
Nothing ever happens
From The Friday Thing's Review of the Year:
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And journalists turn on typewriters and sex up their quotes
And ministers padlock the gates
On national security grounds
And protestors powder our parliament floors
While some other ones dress up as Batman
And it'll still be Tony tonight or Gordon tomorrow
Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
But your binge drinking needs will be well catered for by casinos that open 'til four
While in Fallujah everyone's dead
And every third car is a bomb
But ignorant people still sleep in their beds
Until I'm a Celebrity's back on
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Blunkett will bounce back sometime in the spring
And we'll all sing along like before
And there'll still be Tony tonight or Gordon tomorrow.
Memo to self
Don't take an MBA course in Germany.
Pompous arse.
You must read this rant from Damian Counsell. It is a good rant.
Grim perspective
Asian earthquakeness is thoroughly terrible. Go give money to the Disasters Emergency Committee or Save the Children.
Then read this disturbing comparison (from the comments at Crooked Timber): "present estimates of 77,000 (which are probably only 50% or less of the final total for the tsunami) are about the same number of people who have died from AIDS in Africa since December 19th (i.e., 10 days ago)."
At this point, you may despair.
One of SBBS's secret sources received an interesting tip-off last week. The source worked as a phone-tapper; he set up taps on the basis of requests from the police, MI5, and various other bodies – including David Blunkett's private office.
There are two main ways in which phones can be tapped. One involves calls being recorded and listened to by intelligence agents; the other involves collating a list of all numbers dialed to and from that phone.
Mr Blunkett's private office often made such requests, particularly the latter sort, as he and his staff sought to protect us all from the terrors of freedom. So the newspaper's source wasn't particularly surprised in early 2004 when asked to monitor call records for a private individual's London phone number and send them to Mr Blunkett's private office.
After all, there was no reason at the time for the name Ms Kimberly Quinn to ring any alarm bells…
TWoT again
As far as I can make out, everyone who claims that Islamist terrorism is a genuinely significant threat to the survival of Western Civilisation falls into one or more of these three categories:
1) They are a professional liar (politician, spy).
2) They have a direct personal interest in persuading the public that there exists a terrible threat that only they, with the help of copious amounts of public money, can tackle (politician, spy).
3) They have access to no evidence other than that provided by the politicians and the spies, which they believe (everyone else).
In the absence of any evidence for a serious terror threat other than the word of professional liars who stand to gain from making us believe there's a serious terror threat, why would anyone join the camp in point 3? Very mysterious…
Shocking policing news
Apparently, if you impose draconian policing policies that involve arresting more people for trivial non-crimes, then 40% more policemen get assaulted.
It would be a terrible shame if "you should have the right to kill people at will in your house, but not to get a drink at 3AM or go out without ID" police commissioner Sir John Stevens were to become one of them. Indeed, I'd be very nearly as distraught as I was on the day of David Blunkett's ouster.
Stalked by demons of cold
Yet again, I've run into the upsetting combination of crap central heating systems and crap landlords. Oh well, I'm sure the cold will toughen me up. And at least this house has an immersion heater.
Hope everyone had good Christmasses. Mine was amusing; the highlight was when my horrendously racist grandma turned on the TV for the delights of the Queen's Speech ("wonderful lady, been through such a lot"), only to be so disgusted by its message of multiculturalism and being nice to black and Asian people that she turned it off again…
Time for us to bug out

Stabbing Westward: "On Your Way Down" >From the album Darkest Days, Copyright 1998 Stabbing Westward. Tabbed by "Emptyeye" (email@example.com) Keep in mind this probably won't be perfect...if it was I probably wouldn't be playing in my school's Intermediate Band (Read: The band for retards who don't know how to play their instruments. :P). The song is in Drop D tuning for 4-String basses. That's what I play so that's what I'll use. :) Each - represents a 16th note.

Riff 3 3X Riff 4 1X Riff 1 2X (Song segues into "Waking Up Beside You", or ends in other words.) That's it! :) Notes: I believe Riff 2 is actually a synthesizer. I'm not 100% sure though. I really need help on Riff 3. I'm reasonably confident about the 3rd fret to 5th fret but have no idea where it goes after that. Are there two bass tracks playing during Riff #5? I can't quite tell but the guitar line of the song goes into what I've listed as riff #5. Yet I think I also hear another, slightly higher bass line before the guitars kick in. Weird. Well I hope this helps you out. Any corrections, comments, etc, send them to the address at the top AS PART OF THE MESSAGE. That account can't handle file attachments. Thank you very kindly.

Portsmouth vs Sheffield United Preview
Can Pompey make it six straight wins without conceding? Portsmouth take on Sheffield United in a match that looks like a home banker considering the respective form of both teams, but the Blades have been a bit of a bogey team for Pompey in the past.Team NewsLiam Lawrence is certainly missing due to his aggrevating calf injury which will keep him out for another two weeks, whilst Hayden Mullins and Joel Ward are also major doubts due to the same injury.That means that Aaron Mokoena should start his first match since his work permit issue, with Kanu starting in an attacking midfield role again. David Cotterill, Ritchie De Laet and Greg Halford are all expected to start against their former club.Shane Lowry is suspended for the Blades whilst Chris Morgan, Ryan France, Andy Taylor and Richard Wright are also absent with injuries. Joe Mattock, Sam Vokes and Nick Montgomery could return to the squad.Match DayMicky Adams' struggling Sheffield United visit Fratton Park looking for their first win in thirteen games tomorrow, how that stat contrasts to Pompey's current situation.The majority will expect a home win but the Blades have made a dent in Pompey's excellent runs in the past. Micky Adams also held a hoodoo sign over Pompey during his Leicester days so what odds on him grabbing his first win as Blades boss tomorrow?It's not all bad omens, though. United have only won once in their last eight visits to Fratton Park, when a certain Michael Brown notched a stoppage time winner against the Blues in the promotion winning season.There is a conundrum in our season that nobody can work out; why do Pompey play better in the second half of so many matches this season?We were dire in the first half against Scunthorpe and should have been at least three down to Ipswich at the break last week. We've had poor first half performances in so many other games this season but yet managed to win thanks to an improved second half showing. But why is this?Does it take 45 minutes for Steve Cotterill to work out the opposition? Do the players need a kick up the backside at half-time? Are the tactics purposely built to contain teams in the first half and then use the extra energy in the second to beat them?There are lots of theories, but that's for another article. Just don't be surprised to see Pompey drawing (or perhaps even losing) at the break tomorrow.Whatever happens, I will be at Fratton Park to simply enjoy a game of football and support my team knowing that there is no threat of relegation.On the other hand, whilst I believe talk of the play-offs is premature, a win could see Pompey climb to 9th (realistically) in the Championship table should results go their way.So there is pressure on Pompey to win tomorrow but it will be Sheffield United who will be feeling it far worse than we do, so I'm confident of another victory.Predicted Starting Line-UpsPompeyGK: Jamie ASHDOWNRB: Ritchie DE LAETCB: Greg HALFORDCB: Ricardo ROCHALB: Hermann HREIDARSSONDM: Jonathan HOGGDM: Aaron MOKOENARM: David COTTERILLCM: KANULM: David NUGENTCF: Dave KITSONSheffield UnitedGK: Steve SIMONSENRB: Matt LOWTONCB: Nyron NOSWORTHYCB: Neil COLLINSLB: Andy TAYLORRM: Bjorn-Helge RIISECM: Lee WILLIAMSONCM: Michael DOYLELM: Mark YEATESCF: Richard CRESSWELLCF: Sam VOKESLast Time: Portsmouth 3 Sheffield United 1 (Premier League - 23/12/2006)Pompey fans began singing "Are you Scummers in disguise?" to their red and white striped opponents and they responded by taking an early lead through Rob Hulse's header.The home crowd would have to wait until the second half for their team to score as Rob Kozluk put through his own net for the equaliser. Sol Campbell then gave Pompey the lead with a header from a corner and then Noe Pamarot scored a very similar goal minutes later to condemn Neil Warnock's men to defeat.My PredictionDespite the bad omens, I think Pompey should prove to be too strong for Sheffield United although I expect our run of clean sheets to be broken. this is Sheffield United and Micky Adams, after all!Portsmouth 2 Sheffield United 1

Capital Campaign Being Launched at WSU on October 9th
By Susan LaGrois
"Let's acknowledge and celebrate that we are what we are, we do what we do, and we will be second to none at what we do," stresses Wayne State University President, M. Roy Wilson. To work toward the goal of being "second to none" and help move in this direction, Wayne State University will publicly launch its second comprehensive fundraising campaign with a celebration to be hosted on Thursday, October 9th on the WSU campus. At this event the university will showcase who we are and what we do.
Showcases – being held throughout campus and hosted by the university's schools and colleges, centers and institutes – will enable visitors to view the work of our students and faculty through live demonstrations, presentations, tours, discussions and performances (1:00-3:00 p.m.) followed by the Campaign Premiere at the WSU Hilberry Theatre. The Premiere will officially launch the campaign publicly and will feature the university's talented students and alumni, including student performances, speakers and video segments highlighting the university's campaign priorities, its history and its future (4:00-5:00 p.m.).
Everyone is welcome to attend the campaign launch events, especially alumni, as well as friends, donors, students, faculty, staff and community partners. There is no cost and no RSVP required to attend the Showcases or Premiere events. More information on what is happening that day is available at go.wayne.edu/giving-campaign.
"This is the second capital campaign in Wayne State's history, which is critical to the university's ability to fund scholarships, programs, and initiatives as well as critical infrastructure needs and help it continue to grow, provide support for our students, and have a positive impact on Metro Detroit and beyond. The progress the university makes during this campaign will serve as a foundation for future development," says Douglas Whitman, Ph.D., College of Education interim dean. "The College of Education has graduated a large number of K-12 teachers and many of the school principals and superintendents in this region, as well as excellent counselors, corporate trainers and other professionals, over the course of its more than 130-year history. We are looking forward to showcasing for our guests who visit us on October 9th the many college programs that will be highlighted at this kickoff event," he adds. Whitman says he is looking forward to greeting visitors and alumni who attend the campaign launch activities in the college on October 9th.
The College of Education's Showcase will highlight many of the academic programs offered by: Administrative and Organizational Studies; Kinesiology, Health and Sport Studies; Teacher Education; and Theoretical and Behavioral Foundations; along with many of the college's outreach programs, i.e., the Center for School Health, High Five Literacy Program, and many other community outreach initiatives sponsored by the college. For information about the College of Education Showcase presentations, please contact Kelley Stokes at (313) 577-1671 or email@example.com.
This kickoff event will provide an opportunity for alumni, as well as others, to see the changes that have occurred on campus, perhaps since their last visit – many made possible through the success of the university's last fundraising campaign – and connect again with Wayne State University. This campaign is important to Wayne State University in order to help continue its efforts to inspire our students and faculty to be curious and passionate; to discover new approaches, solutions and areas of inquiry through multidisciplinary, translational and applied research; to create fresh expressions of existing knowledge; and to engage through community service, enriching the culture and economy of Detroit and beyond.
If you have questions about the campaign launch events, please contact Lori Wurth at (313) 577-8976. Parking and shuttles throughout campus are complimentary for the event.
Plan to join us October 9th on the WSU campus for this special occasion at Wayne State. We are looking forward to showing you who we are and what we do – the great things happening at Wayne State University – reminding you about our past and telling you about plans for our future!

Are you battling an addiction to drugs or alcohol and live in Warner Robins, Georgia? Do you have a friend or family member that is addicted to drugs or alcohol in Warner Robins and you don't know where to turn to for help? Addiction to any substance can be a very dark and lonely place, not just for the abuser but for anyone that cares about them. All hope is not lost; there are effective solutions out there. We can help you find a Drug Rehab or Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in Warner Robins that will be appropriate for your treatment needs.
An Alcohol Rehab or Drug Treatment Program in Warner Robins is a perfect solution for the treatment of drug addiction and alcoholism. Treatment will be geared towards helping the individual overcome their need to fix problems in their life with drugs and alcohol. Once they can grasp this, they will be able to cope with life situations more appropriately and resolve their problems without substances.
There are a variety of approaches to addiction treatment. Examples offered in Warner Robins are Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities, Long-term Drug Treatment Facilities, Short-term Drug Rehabs, Inpatient Drug Treatment Facilities, support group meetings, drug counseling, halfway houses and sober living.
Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Centers in Warner Robins will target both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Individuals are treated for physical addiction by undergoing a detoxification program in Warner Robins, Georgia to assist with the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms which result when an addict discontinues use of a substance they are addicted to. Continued use of a psychoactive substance over time causes the brain to adapt to the presence of the drug, making the desired effect minimal. Physical tolerance to drugs such as heroin, amphetamines, cocaine, nicotine and alcohol develops in this way. Over time, more and more of the addictive drug is required to get the same effect. Quitting an addictive drug abruptly causes serious withdrawal symptoms, which may take the body weeks or months to return to normal function. Withdrawing from hardcore drugs such as heroin can cause extremely severe and painful withdrawal symptoms, which can last for quite some time.
A Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehab Center in Warner Robins will be able to administer a professional detox as well as assistance with psychological issues. These underlying psychological issues are at the root of all drug and alcohol addiction problems. Addressing this head on will decrease the chances of relapse and increase the chances of a fully rehabilitated and contributing member of society. A Drug Rehab or Alcohol Treatment Facility in Warner Robins, GA. has proven to be the most successful method for treating an individual with a severe drug addiction problem. An Alcohol Rehabilitation or Drug Rehab Center in Warner Robins, follows a rigid, comprehensive program to ensure a successful recovery. This program addresses every aspect of addiction and every area where the person could be having trouble.
To ensure a lasting recovery, the individual must gain the knowledge, abilities and "life tools" to change their behavior and reaction to situations. The individual's program will be focused on strategies for returning home to Warner Robins, from a Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Facility and even running into prior drug using friends or acquaintances in Warner Robins. Upon completion of their program, the individual will be able to deal with the reminders and triggers in Warner Robins which may have prompted their drug use, as these same triggers can produce psychological stressors. These psychological stressors, if not addressed, can make it very hard for an individual to control their response to drug using impulses. Research has shown that an addict shows changes in the way their brain functions after having discontinued using drugs and/or alcohol. Because of this, even an individual with the best of intentions may find it extremely hard to overcome drug addiction or alcoholism without professional addiction treatment.
So you can see that a recovering addict has a lot to deal with when deciding to kick the habit. With triggers, drug cravings, and changes in the way their brain functions due to habitual drug use, seeking help at a Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehabilitation Program to successfully recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is a no-brainer.
A person that is serious about the decision to get sober should enroll in a Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Center in Warner Robins, GA. Why fail again on your own? Why lose another friend or push a family member even further away? Why beg, cheat, and steal just to get drugs or alcohol, risking legal problems and jail time? You don't have to be depressed and unhappy because of excessive drug or alcohol use. There is help available, even for the most severe addicts.

Not much in the way of details about the device has been released, despite official images and videos of it making their way onto the Internet. Word is that it'll have a high-resolution screen, in addition to silicon beefy enough to support a modern MMO. Oddly, speculation is pegging the device's native OS as Linux, which creates a problem for those of us who enjoy games like World of Warcraft that don't run natively on that OS and require additional tooling and programs to be able to do so. Wi-Fi or 3G support haven't been confirmed, either.
What is known is in that picture. The Jungle is a clamshell device, presumably a monstrous one at that, with a full QWERTY keyboard, a touch-sensitive d-pad and additional buttons. It looks like it'll have a mini-HDMI port, a headphone jack, and a micro-USB port, too. The device's official website says more information is to come about the buttons specifically is coming in the near future.
== TEASER ==According to 1UP, The Jungle's first-slated game is a browser-based version of Battlestar Galactica Online. No other games support has been announced.
Last night, the device appeared on a new episode of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, an MTV show about a rich dude who does stupid stuff. Engadget reports that Rob will be making a "jingle" for the device, so look forward to that. Also, check out this first web series for the device. Oh, brother.

Tru-Fire Lost Camo Hurricane Extreme Buckle Release
Very comfortable
Good color solid stability after 50 pulls no marks or sore wrist.
March 6, 2015
great buy
the price was the main reason I bought it but now that I use it I want another one, the release is great
February 4, 2015
Excellent release
I am new to compound bows. I purchased this as a "Dicks Customer Support suggestion" and I couldn't be happier. I've shot well over 2000 arrows and the release is still working as if I bought it yesterday. There is some elasticity in the band so you might need to wear it tight, or practice shooting as if you where actually hunting(wear the same gear, at least on your hands) to make sure you're always going to get the same results; On the practice range, and in a real hunting situation.
January 14, 2015
Very good for the cost would recommend this item
To be bought

November 23, 2014
I lost my release and went to Dicks to get a new one. They suggested this one for the price and I really like it. It was much cheaper then my previous release and works better. I primarily use it for hunting and I think it is a great release for the money.
November 12, 2014

Great release
This release is great for the price. I like that you don't have to clamp it on and it has a buckle instead of Velcro. I would definitely recommend this product to someone new to archery or or an avid hunter.

dc.description.abstract | Study Design: Basic Science. To investigate humeral head translations and glenohumeral ligament elongation with a dual fluoroscopic imaging system. Background: The glenohumeral ligaments are partially responsible for restraining the humeral head during the extremes of shoulder motion. However, in-vivo glenohumeral ligaments elongation patterns have yet to be determined. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to 1) quantify the in-vivo humeral head translations and glenohumeral ligament elongations during functional shoulder positions, 2) compare the inferred glenohumeral ligament functions with previous literature and 3) create a baseline data of healthy adult shoulder glenohumeral ligament lengths as controls for future studies. Methods: Five healthy adult shoulders were studied with a validated dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS) and MR imaging technique. Humeral head translations and the superior, middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments (SGHL, MGHL, IGHL) elongations were determined. Results: The humeral head center on average translated in a range of 6.0mm in the anterior-posterior direction and 2.5mm in the superior-inferior direction. The MGHL showed greater elongation over a broader range of shoulder motion than the SGHL. The anterior-band (AB)-IGHL showed maximum elongation at 90° abduction with maximum external rotation. The posterior-band (PB)-IGHL showed maximum elongation at 90° abduction with maximum internal rotation. Discussion: The results demonstrated that the humeral head translated statistically more in the anterior-posterior direction than the superior-inferior direction (p = 0.01), which supports the concept that glenohumeral kinematics are not ball-in-socket mechanics. The AB-IGHL elongation pattern makes it an important static structure to restrain anterior subluxation of the humeral head during the externally rotated cocking phase of throwing motion. These data suggest that in healthy adult shoulders the ligamentous structures of the glenohumeral joint are not fully elongated in many shoulder positions, but function as restraints at the extremes of glenohumeral motion. Clinically, these results may be helpful in restoring ligament anatomy during the treatment of anterior instability of the shoulder. | en_US |

Surprised I haven't seen any discussion about today's article from Goff. Some very complimentary statements from Esky about the fans in Toronto vis-a-vis the fans here. I hate to say it, but from what I've seen on TV of their matches, he's probably right. 75% of their stadium stands, sings, chants and waves flags like the four or five most energetic supporters sections do here. That cannot but make things louder and more intimidating. How much of that is that it's their maiden season, I dunno. I wasn't here in 1996, so I dunno if all of RFK was like the supporters sections are now.
Toronto is culturally more "European" than American, at least that's what all the Travel Guides say. Canada is Western Europe's good son, we're the rebelious younger brother, and Australia is the out of control, way too unruly to even belong to the same family, youngest sister.
i mean, DC doesnt slack when it comes to atmosphere. ive been to games in alot of cities and DC fans tend to understand soccer a lot more than the average fan.
Horses. Guide books are trying to sell Toronto. Its a city. Nice compared to Detroit, not much compared to Paris. Colder than Washington. My guess is that there are at least twice as many people in the NYC metro area with "Euro" roots than in Toronto, so it may just be that they're doing something in their FO to create interest. Novel idea... (DCU excepted here). Good for them to pack their first few games. Shame on most US cities for making such a poor effort to reach out and build a fan base. Way I see it, MLS is a much better product now than when the league started, so maybe that's an advantage. Still, come August let's see how its going there. However, and more importantly, what I want to know is what the hell happened to us? Did I miss something, or don't we still have the best FO, the best fans and supporters groups, the strongest history and one of the most talented squads in the league? Where is the confidence?? Everybody, snap out of it. To Goff, we love ya but unless you're planning to be traded to the Globe and Mail, go easy on the fawning. I wanted to take a bath after that article. To the supporters, hey we now finally have some competition. Good. Bring it on. We need to get RFK rocking again. Outnumbering the Metros supporters isn't a challenge anymore. And finally, sadly, to Esky, its been nice knowin' ya. You are now, officially a hoser.
Repped. I couldn't agree more. Goff's story makes it sound like TFC is the only team w/ fan support. Please. Let's see how sustained the support is when the novelty of a brand new team in a brand new stadium wears off. Remember, Crew stadium used to be full for matches in the beginning too
I honestly don't see why anyone is offended by what seems to be a very honest assesment of what is going on in Toronto. Sure, it hurts a little bit that some people are already proclaiming Toronto the best atmosphere in MLS. Can you blame them? What they have done so far is unprecedented in MLS circles and that includes right here in DC. What this does is raise the bar for United and the rest of MLS. Places like KC, Dallas, Columbus, Colorado and New York won't be able to keep up. DC is best suited to keep themselves in the same argument with Toronto. This is a good thing for everyone involved. It may sting a little that we've had our mantle of "best fans/atmosphere" taken to task, but again, it's up to us to have a say in all of this.
Once New York has it's own stadium things will be very different there. And I suppose once DC United has it's own stadium (you know the one they have been promising us since 1997) things will be very different around here!
It's not about being offended. It's about not keeping in mind that two home matches do not sustained support make. I loved seeing the atmosphere in the last two home matches, and I was impressed by how many of the people in the stands were excited, but I'll reserve judgement for now. They've made a very good start, but let's see what happens over time. I rather suspect that support won't look as colorful during midweek matches in a freezing rain when the team has been doing badly. If the supporters are out in force then, I'll tip my hat to them.
Gotta give props to the TFC fans today. Great atmosphere. Hard to believe this organized fan support after just a few matches into their first season. Looks like their team is stepping it up to reward the great fans. Good job, TFC. Vamos United.
Wanna bet that they still have poor attendance? What will they blame then? Probably not enough "name players".
Fine. Their crowd can be more 'European'. Ours can be more Central and South American. It is not Spain that is behind the cry, 'Vamos United'.
Having visited both Toronto and Montreal, I gotta say that Montreal is way more "European". Toronto is very NYC-like in many respects.
Not to take away from the large number of Toronto supporters, but the first couple of years in DC, we had a higher percentage of fans that would get involved and make noise. The quiet side earned our reputation from what has happened since then. But at first, we used to stand up for every offensive push, so much so that our quads would burn. It started being a big issue for a few fans who would yell at everyone to sit down. Nothing quiets fans down faster than making them sit.
Hey DC. The reason the fans for TFC are making such a splash up here is because its so unprecidented for Toronto. The Leafs, the Raptors, the Jays... the fans are mostly corporate "golf clap" types. Singing at a Toronto sporting event? You've got to be kidding? The t.v. coverage never does it justice, seems like a pair of cameras on one side of the pitch based on game tapes I've watched. It will never be an EPL game with 30 cameras, slow-mo replays, and serious $$$ put into the production of a game. The point is, its a drastic departure for Toronto's personality. For now we're taking it stride. I hope it keeps up, and doesn't fade with either mounting losses or losing its "new car smell". The supporter's groups are common in support for TFC, but divided in its organization. Time will tell. Love the league. D.C. was the team I supported prior to Toronto, I got caught by the Freddie hype, and stuck around to watch some decent football. Man your travelling Brava supporters is it? He had a phkn drum bigger than my first car. Good on ya. Lets hope the football is as good as the atmosphere.
I'm going to take a crazy guess here, and say that La Norte brought the massive bombo up to the match today.
I could hear that thing on the MLSlive feed. There was some serious constant drumming going on with this BOOOM BOOOM every now and then. I thought to myself, "Heh, they took the Bombo up there. I wonder how that made it through customs?"
Yes, the bombo was there. Hope you can identify it in this pic. Few more http://farm1.static.flickr.com/231/505103435_5d95867e34_b.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/203/505076019_c21ad1e63d_b.jpg Credit to Krazy Kanadian.
I dont think the ref was biased. He was crap with both teams. Having said that, I dont think the entire south end chanting "f**k you ref!" helped us out though..... Only thing I dont like about BMO field is that theres no back walls or overhangs to the stands, so we cant hear anything from the visiting fans, and they cant hear us at the south end. I miss taking part in two way chanting between supporters groups. "Diiive like an Eagle" We know for sure that the visiting goalies are not comfortable at the south end. Nose pickens for chicago ended up down at the half way line. Can you guys bring a few more along next time?
Raptors fans are nuts... best energy in the ACC. The Blue Jays fans have nothing to cheer for, but when they do they will be loud too.
You must have missed this past Wednesday when it was pissing rain and 42 degrees F at kickoff (a lot colder by the end of the match) and there were still 19,000 there.
HAH! I love the way this pic caught those two guys in the lower right hand corner having this "OMGWTF?!? BIG ASS DRUM!" response.
And you missed the part where I was talking about it still being early in the season and the novelty not having worn off yet.
Toronto's a pretty cool, reminded me of Zagreb like no other place in North America. Maybe it's trams, graffiti and people on streets, except they're red/white instead of blue. Stadium's not bad, as long as they can add to it. But location is superb, drink in center than walk to match... niiice. FO... we're walking up, some security lady sees us with banner and flagpoles and says you must be DC guys, all your items are allowed in 104, you can get there through gate 1. We walk up, security guy at the gate walks us over to um... "fan information center" (at that point I'm um.. wow.. can I take a picture), they take 20 second to clear us and we're off with anything we brought. That's easiest I ever had it, including DC Fans in stadium, blow anything in MLS out of the water. Not just cos they bought out a season, but cos I didn't see annoying little tykes running up and down the stairs in their orange-green little league jerseys. I saw a few kids, their dads took them (the way it's supposed to be ). There were whole sections near us they would stand up and chant. probably cos we were there so they tried to drown us out hehe. Sure they had to come up with things on a fly but they'd stand up and do it. That was so weird, I'm used to 3 kids making faces at us and screetching "sucks" after every DC chant till their mom tells them to cut it out. They had their big flag circling stadium at start, elsewhere some shithead would probably cry about his view being blocked. Supporters, well they'll get there either when one group dominates or when they coordinate more. It won't take long, and when they do (probably soon) we'll be playin catchup if we stay at this level. We hit their bar before the match and I didn't meet one person that wasn't 1st or 2nd generation immigrant. That's my review. I had nothing better to do cos flight is canceled and we're stuck in Buffalo till tomorrow. hmm where are strip joints near airport..

Released: Dec 01st, 1986
Running Time: 30 (each)
Company: Vidco
Summer Rose, Shari Stewart
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Feature
Each of these volumes from Video's ongoing Uncensored Sex Show series is 30 minutes long and crammed with wall-to-wall sex. It would be redundant to explain what each is about— the title obviously tells all.
While completely void of story, these tapes, which come in excellent packaging, benefit from the non-stop action, and it's pure pleasure to Since against see the lovely Shauna Grant. What hurts these tapes is they are nothing more than rehashed Vidco productions. The major flaw I find is one scene in Volume 13 is repeated in Volume 16. And in both instances, the scene is repeated three times. What I'm trying to say is, if you watch both volumes you get to hear Tony El-ay say "This is some kind of service" SIX times!
Bottom line— This is a good series for stag parties, and for turning on a partner who is already in the mood. It's pure raunch, there's something for everyone (anal, interracial, oral, etc.), and it gets its rating on that alone.

I was not the first to get their BULLITT, but I did have mine while many were waiting for theirs. I had borrowed some web space and put up a few pictures to share with others while they were waiting for their Bullitt to arrive at their local Ford dealer.
The photos expanded into a couple of how to's and has continued to grow through the years. My way is not the only way and it may not even be the best way but it is here just to share how someone else may perform a certain task.
Because we have changed webpage formats, almost yearly, there are numerous links in forums and webpages that are outdated. While some pages have been deleted, most pages are still here and may have been updated. Click through the links, there is no telling what you may find!

Spiritual Interventions in Psychotherapy Role of Psychotherapy Phase 1: Telling the Story of the Experience Phase 2: Tracing the Symbolic/Spiritual Heritage Phase 3: Creating a New Personal Mythology
Spiritual Interventions in Psychotherapy Spiritual interventions can be essential to facilitating recovery and change. At times these could include:
Educating the patient about the spiritual emergence process that is part of a spiritual journey with a potentially positive outcome Encouraging the patient's involvement with a spiritual path or religious community that is consistent with their experiences and values Encouraging the patient to seek support and guidance from a credible and appropriate religious or spiritual leaders Encouraging the patient to engage in religious and spiritual practices consistent with their beliefs (e.g., prayer, meditation, reading spiritual books, acts of worship, ritual, forgiveness and service) Modeling his/her own spirituality (when appropriate), including a sense of spiritual purpose and meaning, hope, and faith in something transcendent
Role of Psychotherapy Psychotherapy can help patients with religious and spiritual problemsto shape their experience into a coherent narrative, to see the "message" contained in their experiences, and to create a life-affirming personal mythology that integrates their spiritual problem. These three phases of psychotherapy are directed toward that integration are described below. In addition, spirituality plays a special role in psychotherapy with such patients.
Phase 1: Telling the Story of the Experience Psychotherapy can be seen as a process of helping clients construct a new narrative, a fresh story of their lives. Psychotherapy does not consist in the cathartic healing effect of releasing traumatic repressed events and their emotions, but in reconstructing a person's authentic story (See What is narrative therapy?). In making interpretations, the therapist retells the patient's story, and these retellings progressively influence the what and how the story told by patient. The end product of this interweaving of texts is a radically new, jointly authored story. Or as Hillman [1] explains it, the client comes to therapy to be "restoryed":
The patient is in search of a new story, or of reconnecting with her old one...The story needed to be doctored, not her. (pp. 17-18).
The specific therapeutic direction will depend on the nature of the problem. A loss of religious faith or conflict over spiritual values requires that the person begin to explore a new spiritual direction that is congruent with the person at this point in his/her development. Often with spiritual emergenscies, the event itself has an inherently disjointed quality that has led therapists, patients, and society to devalue such experiences. Further exploration of such anomalous experiences is believed by many mental health professionals to be unnecessary and even to run the risk of exacerbating symptoms.
People who have had spiritual emergencies often do not receive validation for their experiences, or even the opportunity to talk about them. In the three case studies I have researched and published (Case Library), the hospital records did not mention any of the spiritual content present in these patients' episodes. The inpatient chart notes simply described them as delusional, having religious hallucinations, being preoccupied with space aliens, and making claims of having special powers. That information alone was sufficient to make the diagnosis of a psychotic disorder. In the medical model, further exploration of person's experiences would be unnecessary and could even exacerbate symptoms by reinforcing his/her "delusional system." Yet all three reported that working with me to put their story into writing was very helpful to them.
The conventional practice of discounting the meaning of spiriutal emergencies is not therapeutically productive. The spiritual emergency itself isolates the individual from others. Then the subsequent devaluation and condemnation of the experience as "only the product of a diseased mind" results in further isolation, just when the person needs to reconnect to the social world. Thus, speaking one's story, putting the experience into words, is usually the first step in developing a life-affirming personal mythology that integrates the spiritual dimensions of the crisis.
At the turn of the century, Kurt Jaspers, MD, one of the founders of the nomenclature and methods used in understanding psychotic disorders, argued that there was an "abyss of difference" between psychosis and "normal" consciousness:
The profoundest difference in man's psychic life seems to exist between that type of psychic life which we can intuit and understand, and that type which, in its own way, is not understandable and which is truly distorted and schizophrenic...we cannot empathize, we cannot make them immediately understandable, although we try to grasp them somehow from the outside (Jaspers [2] p. 219).
Yet understandability is the result of a two-way interaction. Laing [3] has criticized the placing of responsibility totally on the patients for making their realities understandable to others.
"Both what you say and how I listen contribute to how close or far apart we are" (p. 38).
Work with spiritual emergency patients requires reaching across this abyss to connect with their reality.
One of the first objectives in narrative therapy is to find a mutually acceptable name for the problem. This is a continuation of the work in the acute phase to Normalize the experience (see Lesson 5). The term spiritual emergency appropriately describes and normalizes such crises. It provides a non pathological explanation for patients, family and friends to the rapidly developing literature on these types of problems, and it can become the basis for a new personal mythology.
It often helps to have the patient talk about and write out a full account of all they experienced. The word myth comes from the Greek mythos, meaning speech. I have found that simply constructing a time line marked with ages and key events serves a therapeutic ordering function. Then the work of Phases 2 and 3 can move more easily toward integrating the experience.
Phase 2: Tracing its Symbolic/Spiritual Heritage People in such crises do want their spiritual backgrounds and values to be taken into account. In my own spiritual emergency, I spent 2 months firmly convinced that I was a reincarnation of Buddha and Christ and was on a mission to write a new "Holy Book" that would unite all the peoples of the world. And I had been raised as a Jew! So, once I was back with both feet on my ground, this gave me great cause to explore these forms of spirituality with which I'd had minimal contact. In retrospect, I consider this period to be my spiritual awakening. But I could integrate it only after several years of therapy and work with traditional healers (See Self-Case Study Shamanic Crisis).
The treatment literature documents that there is much therapeutic value in addressing a person's religious delusions [4. In cases where the person developed the grandiose delusion that they were God or the messiah, these stereotypical delusions of grandeur, inflation, and possibly inappropriate or demanding behavior could be embarrassing to the person. But the valid religious/spiritual dimensions of the experience can be salvaged through psychotherapy:
What remains . . . is an ideal model and a sense of direction which one can use to complete the transformation through his own purposeful methods (Trials of the Visionary Mind: Spiritual Emergency and the Renewal Process, by John Perry, MD, p. 38).
I now view my own experience of having been Buddha and Christ as the ideal models for my spiritual life, and this has given me a sense of direction. My career as a psychologist researching spiritual crises, and my spiritual path derive from that event.
James Hillman, Ph.D., [5] maintains that,
Recovery means recovering the divine from within the disorder, seeing that its contents are authentically religious (p. 10).
This recovery often involves helping patients reconcile their idiosyncratic personal symbols with parallels in symbolism and religious imagery. Eliade [6] pointed out that the personal unconscious and "private mythologies" (which are part of spiritual emergencies) cannot awaken an individual. It requires:
The general and the universal symbols [to] awaken individual experience and transmute it into a spiritual act, into metaphysical comprehension of the world (p. 213).
Much of my work in Jungian analysis consisted of learning how to explore the meaning of my personal symbols as they appeared in dreams and in my own spiritual emergency. This search for meaning by exploring parallels in traditional myths and religious texts has also played a role in the integration of many of the spiritual emergency patients with whom I have worked. I have documented this process in the case study Myths in Mental Illness.
Phase 3: Creating a New Personal Mythology People want more from therapy than a clear account and chronology (phase 1) and symbolic analysis (phase 2). They want an expanded and deepened sense of the meaning of their lives. Weaving the spiritual emergency into a life affirming personal mythology is essential for positive transformation and integration of the experience.
Personal Mythology (Definition) Each of us has a personal mythology beliefs about life that make up our view of the world. Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., co-author of The Mythic Path: Discovering the Guiding Stories of Your Past Creating A Vision for Your Future, defines a personal mythology as an individual's system of complementary and contradictory personal myths. A personal myth is a cognitive-affective structure consisting of strongly ingrained beliefs with potent emotional components. Personal myths shape our expectations, and guide our decisions. They influence the way we behave with other people. They address life's most important concerns and questions, including
Identity--Who am I? Why am I here? Direction--Where am I going? How do I get there? Purpose--What am I doing here? Why am I going there? What does it all mean?
Personal Mythology in Psychotherapy When people encounter religious and spiritual problems, they are usually dealing with the existential issues delineated as part of personal mythology. So they need to develop a more sustaining personal mythology for who they are at that moment. Unfortunately, with spiritual emergencies, many of the personal myths that people develop are "dysfunctional." They emphasize pathological qualities and are not attuned to the person's actual needs, capacities, or circumstances.
The therapist's task is to help such patients develop a new personal mythology. This is a narrative approach to psychotherapy focusing on the shared retelling of the patient's story, reconstructing it for the patient's benefit.
Personal myths are developed using
biological sources--physical limitations, genetic endowments cultural sources--economic and political systems, books, movies, folklore personal history--family, romantic relationships, friendships, work
Spiritual sources often play a significant role in shaping personal mythologies. They can include nonconsensual reality experiences such as visions, past-life experiences, parapsychological experiences, and also spiritual emergencies. Such spiritual sources involve transcendence of ordinary life concerns and an experienced contact with a "higher" or "deeper" reality.
Spiritual emergencies often involve experiences of this type which can become the foundation for a new personal mythology. The therapist can help post spiritual emergency patients build a new personal mythology with spiritual sources drawn from their crisis.
For many people, recovery from a spiritual emergency is experienced as a spiritual journey, a personal myth. Sally Clay, who spent two years hospitalized and now works as a patient advocate, has written that,
For me, becoming "mentally ill" was always a spiritual crisis, and finding a spiritual model of recovery was a question of life or death (Clay [7]).
Not only are people who have had such a crisis challenged to compensate for weaknesses, but they are also invited to integrate their unique set of concerns, interests, temperament, and imagery, which may give clues to future vocational and avocational choices, social affiliations, and ideologies.
My own spiritual emergency set me on the path of becoming a "healer," and provided me with a vocational calling as a psychologist working with serious mental illness and with spiritual emergence. The Jungian analyst John Perry, MD, who developed Diabysis, an innovative treatment center for persons in an acute psychotic crisis, observed that,
It is also probable that those persons who come through their journey enriched and gifted may turn out to be the best source of congenial therapists, who would be able to react with unusual understanding to others going through their psychosis. (The Far Side of Madness, p. 158).
Jeanne Achterberg, Ph.D., [8] also noticed the prevalence of "wounded healers" in the health professions.
The books, The Mythic Path: Discovering the Guiding Stories of Your Past Creating-A Vision for Your Future by David Feinstein, Ph.D. and Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., and Your Mythic Journey: Finding Meaning in Your Life Through Writing and Storytelling by Sam Keen, describe a variety of methods that facilitate the deepening of life-stories and the illumination of a person's personal mythology. It isn't always necessary for a person to work with a therapist to find the myth at the center of his/her life story.
However, the symbols encountered in spiritual emergencies are often idiosyncratic without a coherent cultural context. Jung noted that fragments of mythic themes and symbols occur frequently in the experiences of psychotic persons, but,
the associations are unsystematic, abrupt, grotesque, absurd and correspondingly difficult, if not impossible, to understand. They are further distorted by their chaotic randomness. (Psychogenesis of Mental Disease, pp. 262-263)
Therefore therapists are often helpful during the integration phase to help weave the images and symbols into a coherent personal mythology.
