Celebrating when you're grieving a loved one can be heartbreaking. Whether you've lost someone 10 weeks or 10 years ago, the grieving process tends to become especially difficult around holidays.
"We bereave for our beloved dead every single day," Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, board certified in bereavement trauma, told The Huffington Post. "Holidays and special occasions make their absence even more conspicuous."
Culturally, we place special weight on these calendar markers, and they can make it "very easy to get caught up in what it means that the person's not there," adds Alena Smith, a grief and trauma psychotherapist.
The spring holidays, in particular, are family-focused and symbolically centered on rebirth, renewal and growth. This is a time, as Rob Zucker, grief counselor, puts it, "when the whole world is waking up from winter -- and all of those spring cliches." But when you're grieving, it can be difficult to get on board: for you, this may be a season in which you're feeling burdened by the pain of your loss. And that can be compounded when you're surrounded by others who are filled with the energy associated with this time of year.
Grievers often struggle with internal questions that sometimes don't seem to have answers during the holidays: What if I want to be alone? What if I can't hold it together? Many who consider themselves spiritual may even begin to question their faith. Zucker says this is common: people ask, What does religion mean to me now? Can I be celebratory and angry at the same time?
To start, it's key to remember that grievance is a natural and necessary process. Bereavement does not have an appropriate or allotted time frame; how we grieve is incredibly personal. But there are some ways we can make grieving during the holidays more manageable. We can hold on to our heartache while simultaneously remembering our loved ones, engaging in laughter and participating in joy. Grief may never go away -- "it is the price we pay for loving someone," as Cacciatore explains. But we can take ownership of our grief, one moment at a time, as we move on with the souls who remain in our world.
According to Dr. Cacciatore, taking care of yourself should be the first priority: "When you're struggling, be gentle with yourself. Be your own best friend. Take care of you." While we experience so many external pressures at the holidays --being a good host, serving up a tasty dish, taking care of others -- being hard on yourself will only make them more difficult to accomplish. "If you take good care of you today, it will help you flourish for tomorrow," Cacciatore says. "We can't take care of others if we can't take care of ourselves." "I always tell my clients self-care comes first," says Smith. "People have to know what makes them feel comforted, attached, connected and safe." If you're missing out on a big holiday because you feel as though you need to be alone, that's OK. Your family may give you a hard time -- they might not understand, or say you are making a bad decision. But, as Smith puts it, "Sometimes you have to make bad decisions for good reasons."

Maybe being around loved ones will be just what you need to feel settled, but it's also possible you will need some time to alone. Allow yourself to take a private walk outside. If possible, Zucker suggests that before the event you may want to talk to the host to see if there is a room where you can go to for privacy. Identifying a safe space for you to be with just yourself may make the day more comfortable overall. Flickr photo by striatic
Children often have high hopes for holidays -- especially spring holidays that incorporate sweets, treats and cheerfulness. Some adults, when grieving, find it helpful to spend time with and focus on their kids, grandchildren or younger relatives. "Some people find it's just what they need," Zucker says. "It overrides their pain, it lifts their own spirits." Other grievers may have a tough time; even if they are looking forward to celebrating, they may not feel their best when the time comes. Zucker says it's OK to be honest with your children -- let them know you love and care for them, but are going through a low period. If you are unable to celebrate as wholly as you had in the past, Zucker suggests having a "frank discussion with your kids, so they don't feel forgotten." You can say you're having a hard time, and discuss that you may not be as cheerful and involved as you wish you could be. Preparing your kids for your emotions will help to level their expectations.

Mediation helps to clear the head -- and it's a very personalized practice: for you, it might not necessarily mean sitting cross-legged in a room. Dr. Caccitore says that sometimes leaving town or going on pilgrimages can be what your mind needs to reminisce, so find a quiet activity that you find personally relaxing. She herself takes barefoot walks: "I hike up mountains. I do it in silence, alone. It's a way for me to process and be with my psychological and emotional pains, which are always there when you miss someone. That's what love is about -- feeling grief when you miss that person." Find a practice that works for you: maybe a mountain walk will feel serene for you, maybe you'll collect your thoughts underwater during a meditative swim, or maybe it's a solo picnic lunch in the park.

Your family and friends are usually supportive, but it can be helpful to designate an individual who you know will truly be there for you. Talk to someone before the holiday event, and ask if you can sit together or have a few moments. "Maybe you feel that you can't share what you're feeling with the whole group," Zucker says, "so having a more private moment with just one person can be comforting." Flickr photo by Alan Cleaver
If the loss is recent, Zucker says, it's likely your family and friends will talk about it and ask how you're doing. "People want you to feel included -- they want you to feel OK," he says. But sometimes, you just don't "People's assessment of what's 'OK' might not be on the mark," Zucker explains. "Let the host know you're taking care of yourself but you're into grieving right now. You can say, 'I might cry, I might need to leave."' These emotions are not necessarily a crisis red flag, but just what happens naturally when people are grieving. "It's hard for people to stand up and say 'this is my grief' and take ownership of it, but I encourage people, when actively grieving, to take their grieving for what it is," he says. "It doesn't reflect poorly on you. It is normal." Flickr photo by msburrows
Everyone is accustomed to your spectacular Easter decor, but this year you might not have the spirit to dig out the bunnies from the basement. Whether this is the first year you are grieving or the tenth, you are entitled to change traditions in order to take care of yourself. "If you were always the host, talk to relatives and see who can take over this year," Zucker suggests. "If you're feeling pressured to attend something, let people know that you may have to bail at the last minute." You will be best equipped to handle the changes if you acknowledge (to yourself and others) that things may be different this year, and make the necessary arrangements to make that happen. Self-care remains important. "Some people might give you a hard time but take a deep breath and remember you need to take care of yourself," Zucker comforts. As a person and as a griever, you can only be stretched so far. Do all that you can to prepare yourself for a hard day.
You'll want to be in control of where you have to be and how long you have to stay. If you are able to provide your own transportation to and from an event, do so. This will give you the power to take a break or leave early -- and without having to disrupt others for a ride. If you do drive yourself, though, Zucker suggests warning the host that you may have to leave early. Prepare ahead of time, before you feel overwhelmed, so you can take the best care of yourself.

While holidays tend to be filled with alcohol-spiked cheer, this may be a time to be cautious of how much you drink. You might be feeling especially sensitive, and drinking too much could trigger something you didn't want to unleash. "Be careful of your intake of alcohol because it's a depressant and won't help you through your grief," Zucker warns. You can enjoy alcohol in moderation, but remember that you are responsible for yourself and for your family. And, of course, if you did decide to drive to the event, skip the drinking altogether.
"Service is a very powerful healer," Dr. Cacciatore has found. For some, the most efficient way to take care of themselves is to put energy into helping others. And you can dedicate that service to the one you lost -- volunteer with the intention of holding your beloved in your heart. Dr. Cacciatore suggests waking up that morning and saying to yourself (maybe even aloud) that you are dedicating your day of helping others to your beloved: something like, "I'm doing this for you, ___." Dr. Cacciatore, says. "The whole day you feel something that is inexplicable -- numinous. Washing the feet of others becomes a way through which you can redesign that holiday." Dedicating yourself to someone else will not make your grief disappear, nor will it make you less sad. Instead, Dr. Cacciatore says your charity "transforms the dark emotions into something that has more meaning." Helping others adds emotions and love into your heart; it does not necessarily take the weight of your emotions out of it. Flickr photo by Pink Sherbet Photography
Discovering new ways to approach a holiday can ease the coping process. Dr. Caccitore once worked with a family who suffered the loss of a child on Christmas day. The family re-ritualized: they changed the day of Christmas to July 25 for themselves to make the celebration less painful. "We have to get creative and flexible," says Caccitore. "That's why ritual is so good. It gives us a means through which we cope with painful and difficult emotions." Zucker also sugests adapting rituals after losing someone who played a role in your traditions. "Think through how you want to recreate traditions," he says. "Think about the role that your loved one played -- a lot of people say it's great to changes things up -- make something new." There are ways to create new traditions while still honoring your loved one. "It's really special and very appropriate to create some kind of ritual that acknowledges the person's absence," Zucker says. Maybe you lost your father last year, and he typically told the story of Passover. As a family, you can take this moment as an opportunity to mention you're feeling his absence. Zucker says this kind of action might bring people to tears, but it's beautiful to remember. "Try not to ignore the change," he suggests. "If you have the wherewithal to acknowledge and mark the moment that [the loved one] participated, this can lead to laughter, joy and reminiscence. Flickr photo by keepwaddling1
As always, communication is key. Dr. Cacciatore often has her clients sit down with their families to let them know what they, personally, will be needing in the realm of support. "Communication and respectful, loving and compassionate open hearts will be the key to understanding what someone needs to get through a very painful day," she says. And if you are an ally to someone who is grieving, these are vital things to keep in mind. Flickr photo by bokeh burger

Success! it still requires the Regclass .dll but it opens without needing any other .dll. It also works as it did while I was testing it, less than 10 minutes but still time taken for the program.

Bryan Singer is wise and has good taste. He knows not to pass on a good thing when he sees it.
Ben Hardy initially auditioned to play a young Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse but lost out the role to Tye Sheridan. Singer was so impressed with him, he cast the 24-year-old actor in another role. No word on exactly what key role he'll play, but speculation is that it might Angel. Hardy is best known for his work in the BBC soap, EastEnders.
Ben joins fellow newbies Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey) and Sheridan (Cyclops) in the superhero franchise. They'll be welcomed by a returning star-studded cast including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Evan Peters.
Get to know this sexy little twunk in several shirtless photos below. X-Men: Apocalypse is scheduled to hit theaters on May 27, 2016.
After teasing us last week, Marvel finally shelled out the goods. At long last, the first full-length movie trailer for the highly anticipated sequel-prequel is here. And it's everything I'd hope it would be.
The beloved characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves in an epic battle that must change the past– to save their future. Watching Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin and Ian McKellan in the same film is going to be phenomenal. To boot, several new faces join the franchise including Booboo Stewart (Warpath), Adan Canto (Sunspot), Fan Bingbing (Blink), Evan Peters (Quicksilver) and Lucas Till (Havok). Check out the X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer below.
Just when I thought X-Men Days of Future Past casting was complete, Bryan Singer throws a curve ball. The 47-year-old director announced via Twitter that Quicksilver, the speedy son of Magneto, will make an appearance in the highly-anticipated sequel.
"Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver." – Bryan Singer's Twitter
The interesting part of this news is not who's playing Quicksilver, but rather the addition of the character in the film. Just recently, Joss Whedon announced Quicksilver and his twin sister Scarlet Witch were part of his plans for The Avengers sequel.
To give a bit of a background, Magneto's offspring are mutants. Since FOX owns the X-Men franchise, fans were worried that their inclusion to Disney-owned Avengers franchise might not happen due to legal issues. But since Whedon announced their inclusion, everything seemed fine.
I can't help but think Singer adding Quicksilver this late in the game is a way to thwart The Avengers because they had no legal leg to stand on to prevent the characters' appearance in Whedon's film. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but my Spidey-sense tells me otherwise.
It's been several years since Halle Berry played Ororo Munroe aka Storm on screen. The 46-year-old actress isn't let a little thing called pregnancy stop her from playing the superhero once again for X-Men: Days of Future Past. That said, Berry did mention in an earlier interview that most likely a stunt double would take on more of the physical parts and the costume probably needed altering in a few places.
The film's director Bryan Singer tweeted a photo on Monday (April 22) along with the caption, "Storm watch #HalleBerry #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast". Get your first look at Berry's fourth turn as the Marvel Comics heroine below. Pregnant or not, Halle is still pretty bad-ass. Check it out below.
Last week, rumors that another veteran from the original X-Men trilogy joining X-Men: Days of Future Past surfaced. They were started by none other than James McAvoy who plays the younger Charles Xavier in the reboot series. The 33-year-old Scottish actor slipped up by including Alan Cumming's name with Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman and others as coming back to the franchise. Cumming appeared as Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler in 2003's X2. Turns out those rumors were false… or were they.
Cumming revealed that he hadn't "gotten the call" from Bryan Singer. Since the rumors surfaced, the director has neither confirmed nor denied Cumming's addition. In a photo released via Twitter, however, Singer did reveal a few casting additions not previously released. One of which is Daniel Cudmore who played Colossus in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. Glad the Canadian star is back in the fold. He's one tall drink of hotness. Find out the other newbies joining X-Men: Days of Future Past below.
I know 2013 is just around the corner, but can 2014 come first. I don't know if I can wait an entire year and then some for X-Men: Days of Future Past to hit theaters. When Bryan Singer announced that he was returning to the X-Men franchise and bringing along Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen to reprise their roles of Prof X and Magneto respectively, I was already excited enough. But with this bit of news, I'm beyond that.
For those who don't know the premise of the X-Men sequel, here's the gist. It will alternate between a 20th century world featuring the First Class cast (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) and a dystopian future where older versions of them appear (Stewart and McKellen). Ever since Singer confirmed that Patrick and Ian were on board, many have speculated and hoped he would bring others. For all you comic book geeks, Christmas just came early because another casting coup has occurred.
For me, the best X-Men films have been the ones directed by Bryan Singer. As you can imagine, this bit of news put a smile on my face. Singer helmed 2000's X-Men and its sequel X2, and produced the reboot X-Men: First Class starring Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. Now, he's back to direct the sequel… and he's not coming alone.
The director confirmed via Twitter that he's recruited two actors from his first two X-Men films. Given that 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past will alternate between the present and a dystopian future where mutants are living in internment camps, it makes perfect sense why some of the original cast members are coming back. But exactly who? Have any guesses? Find out below.
It's been almost a year since the first teaser trailer for Jack The Giant Slayer (which used to be called Jack the Giant Killer) first debuted. Now the first full trailer has been revealed and it looks like it's going to be "Fee-fi-fo-fun!" That was cheesy, but you catch my drift.
The premise of the story that an ancient war is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway (via a magic beanstalk) between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Now that the giants are unleashed onto Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants aim to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing Jack into the battle of his life to stop them. He fights for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess. He comes face to face with creatures he previously only knew as legends, but in the process, he becomes a legend himself.
The Bryan Singer-directed film has Nicholas Hoult in the role of Jack, and also stars Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci. The film comes out on March 1, 2013 (my birthday!) In the meantime, check out the trailer below.

Fayetteville "It was a time when New York had a small town feel to it," Bob Shepard said about Fayetteville in the 1960s. At the top of the hill and the center of town, the Shepard's Home Fair served the community's home improvement needs.
Shepard's father, Robert Sr.,76, passed away Nov. 27 in Florida, where he spent the later years of his life. He is survived by his children, Cindy Shepard Johnson of Sarasota, Robert G. Shepard, Jr., and his wife Bonnie of St. Petersburg, Kelley N. Shepard of Carthage, Amy Shepard Sulivan and her husband Edward of West Springfield, MA, Bradley R. Shepard of Syracuse, James M. Shepard and his partner Mark of St. Petersburg, and Michael A. Shepard of St. Petersburg. He had nine grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
Born and raised in Syracuse, Shepard's father was a glazier, who taught his son the profession. As an apprentice glazier, Shepard learned to cut, install, and replace glass and tile.
"The original goal was to open up an outlet for Shepard Glass and Tile in Fayetteville," Shepard's son said. "Dad wasn't much for tile. He was more interested in glass work and hardware and home improvement."
Together with Eric Olson, who "was into the paint and wallpaper," according to Shepard, Shepard Sr. formed the Fayetteville Home Fair, which originally focused on bathroom improvement supplies.
"That's where they stumbled onto, 'Maybe we should do more than just bathrooms. We should have it do the whole home,'" Shepard said. "Dad kind of saw that people would need one stop for all of their home improvement needs. If people wanted to go to one place to get the screws they needed to put something up as well as the fertilizer to make their yard greener, or they wanted to get the paint for the new den they were painting, they wanted this one location — kind of like a small town version of Lowe's."

Okay, I'm planning on getting a better set of wheels soonish, which means I'll have a spare set. It seems silly to have a set of wheels without tyres so I thought I'd get another set of tyres. Now I'm currently running semi-slick touring tyres (Vredestein Spiders) which I'm using for both commuting and light off-road riding. The big question is do I get a pair of slicks or a pair of knobblies?
90-95% of my riding is on-road commuting
Would I notice much difference in speed between slicks and semi-slicks, if I got slicks for Summer commuting (thinking of s-licks)?
As I've got a two or three miles ride on tarmac to get to any interesting off-road paths would knobblies cope (haven't a clue as to knobblies)?

LANSING (AP) — Jobs — or rather the lack of them — are in the spotlight in a Republican National Committee ad criticizing Democratic President Barack Obama and a Michigan Democratic Party Web video criticizing Republican Gov. Rick Snyder.
With the national unemployment rate stuck at 9.1 percent and Michigan's rate still in double digits at 10.3 percent, both political parties are trying to tap into voter dissatisfaction over the economy as they test campaign messages for 2012.
The 30-second RNC ad lists the nation's economic ills — lost jobs, high foreclosure rates, rising deficits — while showing images of a train derailing and a car rocketing into the water. The ad responds to Obama's 2010 election-year comments that Republicans drove the economy into the proverbial ditch over the eight years under President George W. Bush and offered only a return trip to the wreckage.
"The RNC intends to challenge Barack Obama in every state on his failed economic leadership," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Thursday in a release. "Republicans have already changed the conversation in Washington, but with the president unwilling to remove the country from its unsustainable course, it's time to change direction."
Michigan Democrats have taken a similar tack in criticizing Snyder, the target of a statewide recall drive. They've released a Web video chastising the governor for reducing film and alternative energy credits and forcing layoffs through cuts to school districts and local governments.
Snyder has said the cutbacks were necessary to put Michigan on a sound financial footing after decades of structural deficits that never were addressed. He also has said his moves to cut business taxes by $1.7 billion and shift some of the tax burden from younger to older residents will create jobs and keep young people in the state.
Michigan Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer has a different view, saying that Snyder "billed himself as a jobs creator but is nothing more than a jobs killer."
The Democratic video is available only on the party's Web site, one of several the party has created criticizing Snyder and his policies.
The RNC ad began running on cable stations nationwide Wednesday.
Starting next week, it will air for three more weeks in Michigan and a dozen other battleground states that could prove crucial to winning the White House next year.
An RNC spokesman declined to say how much the political organization was spending to air the ads, although he characterized the buy as "light." He also declined to list the other battleground states where the ad will continue to run, although GOP officials in those states were holding news conferences or conference calls Thursday to announce the ads, including in Washington state and Ohio.
The ad "lays out a sort of a pattern of how the campaign's going to fold out, with Obama being responsible for our economy," state GOP executive director Stu Sandler told reporters at the party's headquarters. "It shows from a national perspective that people believe Michigan's competitive, both in the Senate race and in the presidential race."
Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow is up for re-election in 2012. The field of potential GOP opponents remains unsettled.
Brad Woodhouse, Democratic National Committee spokesman, called the RNC ad misleading.
"While the president continues to fight to clean up an economic mess that was years in the making, Republicans would rather run negative ads than offer positive ideas," he said in a statement.
Obama won Michigan in 2008 with 57 percent of the vote, and no Republican presidential candidate has nabbed Michigan's electoral votes since George H. W. Bush's 1988 victory.
Still, two-thirds of Michigan voters gave the Democratic president a negative job rating on his handling of the economy in an early May poll conducted by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA. Half of the 600 likely voters polled gave him an overall negative job rating.

I've written a few posts on Medium recently:

There are many awesome things about doing an open-source release, but one of the more selfish benefits is being able to continue working on the projects you love even after you move on to a different company.
So while I have left Yahoo a few weeks ago to join YPlan, I can keep working on the Android RangeSeekBar which was open sourced last year. It hasn't been receiving a lot of love lately, as I've been busy with other things, but there a few enhancements coming soon, that should take care of some of the open issues.
I wrote more about this project here. Please check it out and send your feedback, bug reports and, if you would like, contributions!
Most technological inventions are not inherently good or evil, they are just tools and it is up to the humans in charge of them to decide how they will be used. I wonder then, when did the Internet become the evil master villain? I've been reading so much recently about how to keep away from the online world, resist the addiction, throw away the smartphones. There are songs, books, blogs (which is so ironic it feels like trolling), and probably a church coming up soon. When did every person with a smartphone become an addict that needs an intervention?
At some point last year, I was sitting in a restaurant, all by myself on a business trip. I got these strange looks from people around me, because I was on my phone for most of that time. The image of the lonely dude, eating dinner by himself, consumed by his smartphone was troubling my fellow humans. There was a cloud of disgust and pity that was so thick you could cut through it. I wasn't killing boredom with flying birds though, I was keeping up with my friends and family half a world away. I was having a more meaningful social interaction through that glass screen than I could have ever had by striking up a conversation about the NFL game with someone at the bar. They were seeing me sit alone, but they weren't seeing all the people smiling behind that tiny shiny screen.
For me the Internet is about connecting people. Sharing knowledge. It's our immature teleportation mechanism… we can't physically cross the distance yet, but we can be "present" more than ever before, anywhere in the world.
Anyone that has gone through a long distance relationship will tell you how handy this is. When you're far away for months, you will grasp onto anything that gets you closer. Watching the same streamed film while on a Skype call can be as close as you get until the next trip.
Yes, there's something to be said about the serendipity of chatting up strangers in a public place and how some of that is probably lost. But hey, some of us have never been particularly adept at that anyway, and I doubt this would have improved with or without smartphones. That aside though, I have doubts that any conversation I would strike up on my commute would be more valuable or interesting to me than the podcast I'm listening to. Or reading updates from Twitter, where I can follow great people that I would have never gotten a chance to communicate with otherwise. Or seeing updates from the life of my friends and family on Facebook.
We are not anti-social, we are super-social. We are absorbing knowledge from people that we have never met, we are getting updates from friends that we would have lost touch with before, we are able to talk to our loved ones wherever we are. All you see is the person with a screen lighting up their face, but from that little device, connections go out to so many other humans.
This is not to say that physical presence matters any less than it ever did. This is not to say that some people aren't becoming so addicted to their devices that they are damaging their relationships and lives. Yes, there are many problems out there and they need our attention. But the solution is not to demonise the technology and run for the woods, it is to develop ways of merging these technologies into our lives for the better.
As mobile developers we have a moral and social duty to think about these issues, to aim for the positive impact in people's lives and not for the mindless addiction. But, in the end, these inventions are tools and it's up to every single one of us if we'll use them for "good" or for "evil".
I am super excited to announce that we have launched a brand new and shiny Yahoo Mobile blog!
I will continue to write here as always, but I will also be writing on the company blog (and will repost links here for my posts). If you're interested in mobile development, definitely something to follow, as you will be reading posts from many different developers and we plan to be sharing as much as possible of the things we learn and do.
First post is from yours truly, about Droidcon London.
The other day I was talking to a friend who confessed to me that he feels bad that he has not really attended any meetups this year. I asked him why that was and he said he's been too busy getting his new app ready for launch this autumn.
Ok, I'll say it. I love meetups. Sometimes I host meetups. I love meeting people and seeing how excited they get when they talk about their new favourite project. I love how easily geeks can connect on a rant (ARGH! The dex limit! You hate it as well? WOW!). I love to see people stepping up to present for the first time. Meetups are awesome and I often push them as an example against the stupid stereotype that software people never leave their cave.
So now that I've said it, you can admit it: you love meetups too! That's ok, it's our little secret. But now that we've shared in this guilty love for meetups, please repeat after me:
Meetups are not achievements. Meetups are not shipping. Meetups are not products.
In the context of your product delivery, meetups are is a tool, a means to an end. They are at best an educating and networking event and at the very least a fun social event, and those two extremes and everything in the middle is what makes them so awesome. But do not delude yourself, they are not new features, they are not something that will move your product forward, they are not the end result.
If you miss out on meetups because you're too busy shipping, you are doing fantastic, don't waste a single moment worrying about it. After you've launched, come grab a coffee and tell us all about it. Until then, keep up the rhythm and focus.

I recently sat down for brunch with a very interesting, retired black gay male escort, who wanted to share his story with Black Gay Men's Blog. We are calling him Duane because he prefers to remain anonymous, but felt that his story of prostitution aka hustling, drug addiction, bareback sex, AIDS, depression and isolation might be beneficial to some of our readers.
Before I go any further, let me warn you that some of the details recounted might be disturbing. I had a very frank, deep and disturbing interview with Duane over brunch and I am going to try my best to share HIS story without interjecting any judgment. I ask that you guys try not to be too harsh on him as I think we can all learn something from Duane's story.
Duane is a black gay male, aged 30, who currently lives in Brooklyn, NY. He was raised in Manhattan, as an only child, by a single mother, who sadly passed away 6 years ago. Duane has only met his father once when he was a kid and has no idea where he is today. Duane was diagnosed with AIDS(hopefully you know that there is a difference between an AIDS diagnosis and being HIV positive), when he found out he was positive in September 2010. He currently has a host of health complications and is a shadow of his former self – an extremely attractive black man. Current physical appearance aside, there is something very endearing about Duane and I found myself able to see the inner him and not what he had done, or become.
I spent almost two hours with Duane because his story was so deep, fascinating and tragic all at the same time. I also think he was glad to have some company. He doesn't want anyone to think he is looking for pity or that he is saying escorting is an evil thing. He just wants to share his story and hopefully it might stop someone out there from making the same mistakes. He says if you are going to become an escort, go into it with your eyes wide open and stay focused, without letting greed get the better of you.
- Storm: Thank you for meeting with me and for deciding to share your story with Black Gay Men's Blog. I know you are not feeling too well, so I really appreciate it.
Duane: No, thank you man. I think it is something I gotta do, even if it just stops one person from making the same mistakes. And it's good to be out of the apartment, first time in a few days.
- Storm: Let's take it from when you started escorting. You said on the phone you started escorting when you lost your job, about a year after your mom passed away. Do you think the series of events had anything to do with your decision to become an escort or was it something you had always considered doing?
Duane: Nah, I never really thought about hustling or escorting until I lost my job, but I always heard I would make a good escort or porn star, so maybe it was at the back of my mind. I lost my job because when my moms passed, I kinda lost focus – turning up late or calling in. I was drinking and smoking a lot of weed every day you know, work just wasn't the place I wanted to be. My moms was the only family I had, so I guess it hit me real bad. I think the fact that she was gone made it easier to start escorting, like I had nothing to lose. Nobody could say shit to me. I really started(hustling) to save my apartment, when the little I had saved up ran out. I had a decent job for years and a nice apartment, so I wanted to keep it I was very close to being evicted in the middle of winter in NYC – not a good look. I did what I felt I had to do without dealing with the structure of work and all that BS. I decided to place an ad in one of the free gay mags and that was that, my phone started ringing, I was lucky to hook-up with a few wealthy clients who wanted something on the regular. They needed the double-digits between my legs and I needed the cash, you know. I worked 6 nights a week for the first 2 months – saved my crib and had enough vodka and weed to keep me happy. I could sleep most days and drink smoke and sex most nights. I got to know the regulars, you know I did overnights and shit – more money.
- Storm: Some would say you had a good thing going. So when did things turn south? You mentioned on the phone that you started having bareback sex and taking harder drugs, which you believe was the beginning of the end for you, to use your own words. How did that all come about? How long had you been escorting before you started offering bareback services and were you doing the drugs with clients, or on your own, in order to cope with the fact that your were prostituting? Or maybe a bit of both?
Duane: Damn (laughs), you said you weren't gonna be too easy on me, guess you weren't lying. It's that word "prostituting", you sound like my therapist. Yeah, I'm just coming to terms with that word, ok, yeah I was a male prostitute. That shit just sounds wrong, you know (laughs again) from high-paying job to hustling. My bad, let me get back on track. Yeah, everything was cool for almost 2 years. I had good regular clients, even went on a few trips and stuff. Did lots of overnights and didn't have to work 6 nights any more. I mean 5 hours a week was like $1000, if I did 1 overnight a week, that was an extra $600 – $1000. So on lazy weeks I could pull in 2k easy, most weeks I made about 3k. I had always said no to bareback with clients, but then one of them offered me $600 for 1 hour, I had started taking a lil coke every now and then to escape. I was high at the time, so I was like hell yeah – plus he was fine as hell. I think it was easier because the first raw client was a sexy-ass black man on the Upper East side. I saw him at least once a week for 6 months b4 the raw sex started, so we were cool. Once I crossed that line, it was easier to say yes to the white clients and I always charged them more than the black clients anyway, coz that was more like work, I'm normally attracted to black men. It was like easier money and I was only dealing with high-end clients at this time, so I deceived myself that it was cool. Plus, I was topping them, so it wasn't that risky – that's what I told myself. Then one of my white clients, who had more money than sense offered me a ridiculous amount of money to have sex all night with him on crystal meth. He wanted us to both do the meth. Now, remember at this point I had only done weed and a bump(coke) every now and then. I said no the first couple of times, then one night I was like WTF let me try this shit. Yo, we had sex for hours, that shit was bananas. I went home around 8am still horny and got on A4A to find a hook-up, I was tweaking like crazy and banged dude who came through raw for like an hour. That's how it all started, then the client started inviting his buddies over and we would have orgies and stuff and I would leave with a pocket full of cash and my dick still hard. By about the third month I was really hooked on that stuff doing it all the time with different clients, I even introduced some of them to it, other had already been doing it, so now we could PNP. Yo, I became a sex maniac and I always wanted it raw, I was having sex with so many dudes, apart from clients, I lost count. I got into all that "piggy" sex with white clients, then I'd go home horny and craving black sex. I don't know how many holes in NYC I flooded and I got to take out all my anger and aggression on the clients. I didn't realize how much pent up anger I had, it was very easy to beat those who wanted to be beaten and treated like dirt. Also meth makes your booty go crazy, so after a while I needed to be flooded too. I went from a regular escort to a full-time bareback escort. In about 2.5 years I think I used a condom 2 or 3 times. I started going to the bathhouses too just anywhere i could get sex. I wanted only 2 things meth and sex. By that point, the money was just a bonus, a way to get more meth. I looked like shit after about 1 year on meth, not as bad as I looked in September, but bad enough that it really was easier to do bareback clients on meth – they didn't care what I looked like they just wanted 11 black inches for hours. I stopped paying rent and was facing eviction again, but at that point I didn't care. Dude who introduced me to meth offered me a room in his crib. I think he felt a lil bad, plus he could always get his back blown out whenever he wanted it. Besides I was out having sex most of the time anyway, so it wasn't like I needed a home, you know.
- Storm: How ironic, you started escorting to save your apartment and ended up a homeless bareback hooker after 2.5 years on crystal meth. At any time during all that drug fueled crazy sex, did you ever think about HIV and other STDs, or the fact that you were possibly endangering your life and the lives of others? Did you get regular check ups? Was HIV ever discussed with clients or booty-calls – considering the fact that you were a reckless bareback escort, sex maniac and a junkie?
Duane: Just say it like it is why don't you!(laughs) I like you man, you ain't sugar-coating shit, that's what I need. Nah, in the crystal meth world I don't think HIV is mentioned much, I think it's like an unspoken assumption, you know. Most meth heads are probably positive, many staring using meth to cope with being positive, I know that now. At the time, I really didn't want to know, denial is a bitch you know. Outside of the meth bareback/PNP clients, I was mainly having raw sex with black men, when I was "off the clock". Now when was the last time a black gay man asked you about status, before getting busy? We don't do that often – you a straight shooter, you should know. Most black men ain't having no serious discussion about HIV, when their shit is all hard. Plus, 70% of the time, I was topping and I am extremely "blessed". Put eleven inches in front of most men and how many do you think are gonna ask about HIV. I also convinced myself tops couldn't get HIV, so I only went to the clinic for other STDs, you know stuff that antibiotics can get rid off.. Yeah I know I have read your article about that shit, that's why I hit you up. I know I wasn't a top all the time, but I had been calling myself that for years. Plus I was high you know. I'm not making excuses, I'm just telling you how my fucked up mind was working at the time. I know what I did was wrong. When I was diagnosed with AIDS last year, for the first two months I was severely depressed, I still am, part of it was because I had to deal with the fact that I had probably infected more men than I can even remember. Especially black men, you know I love black men and I've probably ruined so many lives flooding all those holes and stuff. Now, I look back it's crazy to think I hadn't been tested in 5 years.
- Storm: I have to stop you right there, let's look at that for a moment. You say you love black men, is that a recent thing? I say that because I don't see how you can love black men, or anyone, when you don't love yourself. Have you learned to love yourself now and so realize the error of your ways? I don't think you are entirely to blame for infecting anyone, it takes two, but I am glad you are owning your role in the possible infection of tons of black men. That is, if we are to assume that all your clients were already positive – if not, you probably infected some white men too. I believe when it comes to sex and the decision to bareback, both parties have to take responsibility. Was being diagnosed with AIDS the turning point? Tell us more about that, you said your CD4 count was 4 when you were diagnosed, that means your immune system was totally depleted.
Duane: You are right, I didn't love myself at all. I realize now that I had been depressed for a very long time, even before my moms passed. I was self-medicating with weed and alcohol for years. It just intensified when she died. I had a lot of anger inside me coming up, I was really mad at my pops for abandoning me, but I directed that anger to myself. When I got diagnosed with AIDS, I had been sick for weeks, probably 2 months, but being high all the time, you are so numb you don't really know what it real, you know. I had a cough and couldn't breathe right, then it got worse and worse. First I just thought it was from the meth, you know all that smoking. Well, that was part of it, by the time I collapsed outside 86th street subway, I had pneumonia, my chest and lungs were seriously infected, I had neurosyphilis and all kinds of other infections. I am lucky to be alive today, even though I still have AIDS, it saved my life. I was in hospital for 1 month, so it was like forced detox and rehab. Then I started an out-patients program, as well as therapy twice a week, now once a week. I take a lot of meds because I had a host of Opportunistic Infections and you also gotta take stuff to prevent you from getting stuff, when your immune system is severely compromised. I know I still look terrible, but you should have seen me then. I have actually put on 20lbs since September.
- Storm: Yeah, you look nothing like the picture you showed me from 6 years ago. That must be hard for someone who was so into their physical appearance and actually made a living selling their body. How do you cope with that, what is your life like today and do you look forward to the future?
Duane: To be honest with you, I don't cope too well. I am indoors most of the time, apart from visits to the clinic, therapist, my program and NA meetings(which I don't go to as often as I should, coz I'm still quite weak). I just started some new anti-depressants, so hopefully they will be better than the last ones I was on. I hadn't left my apartment for 3 days before meeting with you. I mean I'm glad to be alive, but I don't see much hope for the future right now. My depression got worse after the AIDS diagnosis and after years of drug abuse some depression is normal anyway, then you add in all the extra stuff. My life really revolves around doctors, outpatients, specialists and therapist visits. I'm conscious of how I look, my skin is still messed up from the meth and AIDS and meds, just a mess. I struggle a lot with side effects from all the different medications I am on, which really sucks, but Ia m grateful that the meds are there. I don't have any friends, I lost my old friends when I became hooked on meth, 1 or 2 have reached out to me within the last week or so, but I don't even know if I'm ready. So much I have to explain – maybe I'll just have them read your blog. I feel like I am alive but I ain't living.
- Storm: What have you learned from the last 5 or 6 years and what would you like readers of Black Gay Men's Blog to take away from your story?
Duane: I just want people, black gay men in particular, to understand the importance of loving yourself and loving yourself enough to do something about depression or any other mental problems. It is easy to look at my story as a story of escorting and drug addiction, which it is, but one thing I have learned from therapy is that my anger, self-hatred and depression are more to blame for all this, than crystal meth. If I didn't have those problems, I would probably never have become an addict. Keeping stuff in and self-medicating only works short-term. We as black men have to learn to love self first. Place less importance on sex and partying and more on yourself. The rate of HIV and AIDS among black gay men and MSM is so high – the reason for that is because we don't really love ourselves. We need to learn to talk about stuff like HIV – I am lucky I am still here, barely, but here. It could be anyone out there next. I was 6ft 4 and 190lbs of solid muscles, even when I got down to 150lbs all people saw was what was between my legs. HIV comes in all sizes and shapes, I have been them all – big and strong and now weak and skinny. Love yourself enough to make wiser choices.
- Storm: On that note, I think we can wrap up the formal part of this interview, but I'm gonna stay right here and make sure you eat some more of that food, so we can get you back to big and strong. Thank you very much for sharing your story with Black Gay Men's Blog, I am sure it will help some people out there.
Duane: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell it and for a nice brunch. You got something special about you, I felt really at ease talking to you – it's nice not to feel judged, but at the same time you ain't easy(laughs). Please keep on doing what you are doing with the blog, If it stops just one person from making the same mistakes, then maybe some of this madness over the last 6 years will make some sense.
Duane and I then chatted for a while after the interview was over. This is just a summary of what he went through over the last 6 years. Some of the things he told me, I can't publish on the blog, because of legal and confidentiality issues(and some where just too graphic and the effect will be lost by editing). I tried to encourage him to keep fighting and make a decision to live. His CD4 count is now 20, which is still extremely low(having a CD4 count of 200 and below gives you an AIDS diagnosis) but I am sure the only way is up. His spirit is clearly broken, but every now and then he gets that sparkle in his eyes. He has a great sense of humor and didn't want to be treated with kid gloves, so I knew I could use certain words without him being offended. I pray he gets through the depression, because that always makes everything worse and is also not good for the immune system. Duane is still very troubled and ridden with guilt over the amount of men he feels he must have infected. I think doing this interview was also a way of him purging.
Duane will be answering any questions or comments himself, as he will be registering on the blog today. He will try and check the blog a few times over the next couple of days, depending on his strength levels/health. He is open to any genuine questions you guys might have. The Black Gay Men's Blog forum will also be open later today, so I am considering giving him a thread on the forum, so that the discussion can continue. Please leave comments, words of encouragement or whatever you choose, but please try and be civil. We have all make mistakes and I applaud Duane for coming through and trying to turn the tragedy of the last 6 years into something positive – maybe even helping some black gay men.

Not sure I can answer the original question, but can relate an recent event that would say indicate it is both. A coworker had come back from Prauge with some color prints (35mm) and she commented they did not look right, and could I look at them. Looked at about 4 or 5 and set them down and told her it was one of the worst printing jobs I had ever seen, the negatives were fine, but who ever the Yo-yo was that was running the machine at the quick lab did not care about the final image. My guess was, the negatives were scanned and digital output to regular photo paper. Now the scanning way horrible, the people in each picture were either long and thing (a problem I would like to have) or short and wide (a problem I do have...at least the wide part). Then to make matters worse the color was off, and it appeared that either the edges were not exposed at all or machine was out of alignment.
So, in this case it was the process that was most important, but that will not always be the case.

I think the beds need to be replaced as the mattresses or the base of the beds were very squeaky and noisy in all the bedrooms. also some towel rails or hooks on the back of doors would be handy as there was nowhere to hang towels or clothes.

The lounge and kitchen were lovely although when we were tidying up and moved one of the sofa cushions there was a big hole in the back of the sofa but that wasn't a problem. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept in as they were so hard and creaked very time we moved. Also you can hear every sound when when people walk around upstairs.

Nice and spacious. Open plan living/dining set up suits a family holiday. 2 bathrooms and an ensuite were very handy. Bedrooms have good storage but the beds are not particularly comfy.

Our stay at the Atlantic reach was great, lovely cottage only let down was the extremely hard beds!! Almost ruined the stay. Everyone likes a good nights sleep.
Great base lots of places to visit locally.
Clean, comfortable and well equiped.
A lovely spacious home but the beds are the worse we have slept in ,lovely holiday location.

Very clean with plenty of room, all in all a very pleasant cottage. We had a couple of minor issues hence the 9 for f/f but nothing major that spoiled the stay for us.

not a bad house and no extra charges.

Over priced for what you, house did not have a garden area for private seating and to have a BBQ you have to sit outside the front door on the path
great holiday site brilliant staff will book again in the future

We were a party of 7 with young children and a grandparent and stayed in one of the large cottages. The cottage itself was well laid out with plenty of room for a large party, much better than we expected. Some of the fixtures and fittings looked a bit tired but nothing major, the cottage was clean. Our only grumbles were that there were only 2 keys available which caused a few problems when we split up to do different things, also there weren't really enough utensils, pans etc suitable for cooking for 7/8 people. Overall this was an excellent accommodation for a large family group.
Accommodation itself good only down side were beds were extremely firm!
clean accommodation, there was a lack of mirrors in the bed rooms which proved difficult when drying your hair

good family holiday, great location with plenty to do
Excellent accommodation. Kitchen was very well equipped and everything was clean on arrival. Entertainment in the evening was absolutely fantastic and the staff were amazing. Will definitely return.
The house/cottage we stayed in was very good overall though the heating had a mind of its own. Comfortable beds and good bathrooms though the showers need some maintenance. Entertainment pretty good for the kids, though the Halloween ghost hunt at £7 per grandchild was very poor and they were fed up after 20 minutes and the organisers seemed to be apathetic towards it.
Would visit again though.
We took my parents on a last minute break to a Contemporary Cottage 4 - good standard of accommodation, but mattress in main bedroom was very uncomfortable uncomfortable - I mentioned this to staff on Reception after the first night of arriving having slept poorly, within 1 day they had ordered and replaced the mattress, so I could not fault their prompt and helpful response.
We had been before and we will go again - but you will need a car to explore the surrounding areas. The beaches and surrounding areas are magnificent and I love going out of season, when the weather is still good but the crowds have left.
Super holiday - and I would recommend Atlantic Reach as a resort.

Me and my partner had a lovely time staying at Atlantic reach. Our apartment was spotless and great value for money. However, there wasn't really a lot to do family wise. But overall I would definitely stay there again
Lovely location very handy for Newquay and surrounding areas. The bar and staff were very friendly. The restaurant looked nice but we didn't eat in there. The swimming pool was nice and warm and clean.
It was a holiday!

The play area was unsafe and rotting the outdoor pool was filthy and locked up. The whole site was tired and shabby and in need of an overhaul, not at all as it appeared in the pics. I would have said booking in at 5pm and out by 10 am was not user friendly but as we left a day early due to not being able to stand the place any longer I won't. The only consolation was the hot tub we had paid extra, a lot extra to have a place with a hot tub, but was this worth the money we paid ? well folks that would be a resounding No No No !!!. Do not be fooled by this place there will be much cleaner and nicer places to stay for less money. We would not entertain a free holiday at this place.
Overall a fantastic place to stay, accommodation
needs some tlc.
Matanice and repairs need to be checked regularly

Atlantic reach is a great place to stay, accomadation was good, facilities are good, although on arrival the receptionist was rather frosty and in helpful. Atlantic reach have looked into this and have offered us to stay with them again and spoken to the member of staff who initially greated us. The restaurant was really nice and the waitresses were extremely helpful and the menu was great, it suited every bodies tastes.
Confirmed guest, 2015-09-27
Found staff to be very helpful and friendly, right from booking in and for the duration of our stay. They didn't seem to have much knowledge regarding any entertainment happening on site however which was a bit disappointing but not a massive issue for us. Outdoor play park wasn't great for us but probably would be ideal for older kids (we had a 1 year old). Indoor play area was a great addition though and the swimming pool was clean and quiet which was great! Cafe on site sold excellent cakes which was another massive bonus! Overall we were very happy with our stay.

The cottage we had this time was a bit shabby, needed some refurbishment, fresh paint etc. One of our showers had a hole in the base, another bathroom had cracked floor tiles, the stairs and upstairs all creaked dreadfully, as did the beds, difficult moving at night without waking everyone. But we had a pleasant stay and was good value for money
Confirmed guest, 2015-09-18
Accommodation was good but required painting as well as one or two minor electrical faults. Overall good but a bit prices.
Excellent stay.

Win XP Pro Lockout After Using On Home LAN With Workgroup Name Same As NT Domain Name At Work
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: 04/02/03
- Previous message: Arvin: "Windows XP installer"

From: firstname.lastname@example.com Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2003 03:52:13 GMT
All users, including the Administrator could not log on to Office
Domain after I connected my notebook to my LAN at home (also running
Win XPPro).
When running Win 98 SE on old notebook I had two distinct profiles for
the two connections - Office LAN had static IP on router with NAT and
used "XXX" as the company's NT domain.
At home, I called my Workgroup by the same name ("XXX"), but the
profile (using Netswitcher) emplyed DHCP IP addresses.
File sharing in both cases was active, and used NETBEUI as the only
protocol with file & print sharing turned on (since it's a
non-routable protocol, it seemd like it was better security for the
file-sharing even behind the hardware firewall with NAT running at
both locations.
Been running on my home machine under XP Pro set up this way for more
than a year. All I had to do each day was tell Netswitcher to boot
with the "Other" profile on shut-down, so I was easily taking files
back and forth to and from the office without a hitch.
My new, just-arrived notebook, together with new machines at the
office, are all XP Pro, and the Network IT guy has enabled DHCP on the
Cisco router for all of us, eliminating the static IP assignments.
He further agreed to leave file and printer sharing active on the
Office LAN, becasue they're behind a firewall with NAT active.
So, I take home my new notebook configrued this way, hook it up to my
home LAN (remember same Workgroup name as the office's domain name).
Distinction being that there is no separate profile on the notebook.
Thinking that nothing should go wrong, I click away the message that
no domain can be found (makes sense, as I'm not on the line through
the Cisco router which has the gateway addresses specified.
I get to browse the Internet through my broadband connection at home,
and it appears I can "see" the notebook from Network Neighbourhood,
and vice versa. Looks like I can easily work FROM the notebook Windows
Explorer to save from the LAN machines TO the notebook, or also use
the notebook to copy to a local machine. The other way seems to
require a password dialog box to go FROM a LAN machine TO the
But that's OK, I had a few "glitches" with other desktops at home when
first setting up the file sharing on the XP Pro machine.
The next day, the crap hit the fan, but not before the Network guy had
been messing around with the programs freshly installed and being
configured on the notebook.
Suddenly he claimed no log on was possible -- on my user account, on
his user account, as an administrator - Nothing worked!
Not only could he not log on to our company domain, he could not even
log on to the local machine -- with any account!
This was promptly blamed on my having connected to my home LAN, which
destroyed all the "Group Policies" because my Workgroup Name was the
same as our NT Domain name. He said this meant the machine was now set
to treat this name as a Workgroup and would not even try to go outside
to locate the NT Domain any more.
The machine was screwed up, and would need to be blown away, and
reloaded from scratch, and I was in deep doo-doo for what appeared to
be the innocent step of trying to browse with it at home, hoping to
continue my long practice of working in both places and file-sharing
through the LANs to take stuff home, work on it, and bring it back to
the office (and the LAN there).
He went out to lunch, and by some mysterious means, the machine was
functional by the time he returned. Local rights as Administrator were
now possible, and he proceeded with the loading and configuring that
he'd planned to do.
He said he had to "UNJOIN" what was maybe the workgroup, destroy and
recreate some user accounts, and then he got logged on to the Domain.
Strangely though, after installing (again )IBM Client Access software
to talk to our A/S 400, things went screwy!
We could no longer get to our company's web page from IE browser,
unless my user name was given full Administrator privileges. Downgrade
to power userr and neither Client Access nor the company web page
would function. Restore Administrator and back they both came. Worked
with his Administrator account as well!
Un-installed and reinstalled Client Access twice more, with the same
effects after doing each step. Then he loaded Client Access, and
didn't even run it, and the same problem.
Neither non-working function should rely on security settings he
thought, but when asked, I suggested helook into boot-up programs and
the registry as suspects for activating something that wrecks it
BEFORE the program (Client Access) is ever executed. Nothing he could
detect to account for this puzzling issue.
Solution was to remove the IBM Client Access software -- alternate for
leaving me as an Administrator seemed very improbable!
Anyone who can comment on the negative effects found when an NT Domain
Name matches a subsequent connection to a Workgroup with the identical
With DHCP active on the routers at both ends, and file sharing turned
on, how could this wreck all the User accounts for both the Domain as
weall as for the Local Machine, when not hooked up to any network?
I would welcome any informed comment or opinion, as the stated effects
of what I may have done seem out of proportion to the severe effects
on the functioning of the network.
Surely people have setups that allow other Domains or Workgroups to
coexist with the main office Domain?
Since I am barred from connecting this ever to my home LAN, the
interest may be academic, but I'm still convinced that the IBM Client
Access software was not installed right, or configured properly, and
that this blew away the user settings and made the machine
inaccessible, even to an Administrator.
The later problems eeem to bear out that something with Client Access
is not right, even though the desktops on the same network are running
this properly.
Thanks for sticking with me through the long-winded elaboration of my

Thread: Please do not respond to Tara the medium its a scam
Hi i get emails from her aswell and they say exactly the same thing as what you are getting.x
Yes, I get these emails too and thought it was a bit dodgey when she started asking for money! Hmmmmmm, but I do believe in psychics! x
Do you have a system on your computer to block emails or treat it as spam?
i have had emails from tara the medium but i dont open them. i do know good psychics and they do charge and they are spot on one in particular kn ew everything about me being not well and my mri scan and what it was to do with and told my sister about it before we even knew, which was scary!! she knew of a baby who died in the familys name and what was wrote in their obituary and it was exact words born sleeping safe in the arms of jesus, now born sleeping you could guess for a still born baby but it said the babies full name then the obituary which was scary!! x
Wow, a medium is a scam? You don't say, next you'll be telling me that the moon isn't actually made of cream cheese...
Dee, please don't spend any more time worrying or, ever, any more money. Did you know that Conan-Doyle (author of Sherlock Holmes) and Houdini both used to vist mediums together? Conan-Doyle was a firm believer, and Houdini a sceptic. They used to show up the mediums for the fraudsters they were. Conan Doyle wanted to believe, but said he never met any true mediums, unsurprisingly. Houdini, naturally, knew it to be a load of old guff and luminous paint.
I know you are having a rough time of it right now. My advice is to take a night off, stay off the PC, and sit in the bath with a good book and a big glass of wine.
I get her e-mails as well. They go straight to spam.
Theres another one as well, but cant think who it is. You get a free reading then they demand money for more information. Its always about coming into life-changing sums of money, but to find out when you have to pay a fortune just to be given random dates. You are also going to come into the money by a win of some kind eg lottery.
If anyone wants to see a medium the best thing to do is go to the local spiritual church and ask around. Or take word of mouth. I believe there are some good ones, but there are a lot of cons who give the whole thing a bad name.
[QUOTE=Dee W(21);4019415]please if anyone of you gets an offer of a free reading from Tara the medium pleased dont accept or give her any details SHE WILL SCARE YOU THEM POSSIBLY ASK FOR MONEY LATER.
I think it is terrible and exploitative. I am in a dreadful situation and people like you and I are vulnerable to offers of hope etc. If you are into spiritual things, as I am , you are particularly susceptible to this kind of scam. You are right to draw people's attention. I very nearly fell for it myself.
Thanks. I get emails from her, but I don't believe in "evil influences". WAs thinking of paying. She said she would give me 70 quid towards the 79 quid she wanted, how on earth can she predict you will win big money if you don't play the lottery anyway. Was she going to get me into a casino??? (horror my ex hubb y is a gambler)

I keep getting these about twice a day and they seem to come through to my inbox andnot my spam. Tried to block it but wont let me. Very frustrating
I get emails from her too and also deleat them, I did see a phycic and i did pay but she was 99.9999999999999999% spot on, She asked me if i lost a baby i said know. (not knowing at the time i was pregnant whic i did misscarry) she was also spot on with other details too.
I started getting these emails and they were the same email over and over again. In one day i received 7 emails from her. In the end i unsubscribed and fingers crossed so far i haven't had another email.
The Tara Medium Scam
Well luckily for me I knew she was a scam because of the way the writing was layed out. If she had personally typed up the email it wouldnt have all the bad bits highlighted in red capitals. I did lie and say I was over eighteen when I asked for the free reading but hye, how hasnt done that when they were my age. She kept repeating things such as my name and " A VERY LARGE JACKPOT WILL SOON BE YOURS". I thought at first she was gunuine but then as I read on it became more clear to me that she was a fake. Saying things (obvious things) like...(this Is off the actual email)
"Im telling you this because I know that youve been having a hard time, financially speaking, and that if I dont help you, your main problem will probably not be resolved, and could even get worse.
It makes me sad to see you in this kind of situation, Nicky.
If only you had allowed me to intervene on your behalf and help you a few days ago, Im certain your destiny could have already improved.
I know that in your situation you almost certainly think its too late for your life to really change overnight. I understand. But I also have to tell you that you are wrong!"
I noticed how she kept saying I had "finatial" problems. Anyone can relate to that, who doesnt in dayenage! Has anyone ever heard of the Credit Crunch?
Luckily I'm smart and she did ask me for money but not in the same page as your "Free" reading which is looooong and hardly explains anything that you didnt already know. She also said she had drempt about me and my.....hear it comes....."Finacial" problems. But she couldnt go into spacifics. Couldnt being the oprative word.
So if anyone gets a messege from this so called Tara then dont go into any contact with her site because its a spam and its plagued my mail account with her spams.
Hope this helps anyone in the future escape her money hungry paws. and just before I go here is a quote she put at the bottom.....
"I understand that for this IMPORTANT WORK, and for all the time and effort you will be spending on my behalf, all you are asking from me is a small contribution of only £79.00 (instead of the usual £139) to help cover your costs."
No thank you Tara!
lots of love Nicky.
i have just read your comments and would like to let you know i have had the same email and i did get scared, but i have just been in again and unsubscribed successfully.
Try again anyone it may work.
i need help!
Tara scaring scam
It seems to me that when a medium scares people without proof & causes harm to someone that he or she would be causing a type of "Terrorism" which is unlawful & they might be held responsible for harming someone, causing wrongful distress & may be liable for damages & might be brought up on charges & sent to prison.
I'm not positive about this in all countries but this is definately illegal in the USA & Tara could be held liable here. Check the laws where you live & check with your law enforcement personel about this. Hope this helps you & sorry you had to go through this with someone that is basically mean & evil!
