Although not signed, I was told this was purchased from Armand Szainer. Fairly thick oil on board and definitely in the style of Dali or Picasso even. I look at this and it is amazingly three dimensional. Age was supposed to be 50s, but it feels a little earlier to me, but thats just my impression. A great early modernist retro painting. It does have wear to the corners and there are a few flakes to the painting itself. This has a great presence and is a wonderful painting. Measures 24 1/8" x 18 1/8" unframed. I will order a custom box to ship this in.

Featured Golf News
Women vs. Men in Golf: Automatic Bids or Special Favors?
I usually ignore anonymous emails and comments, but this one I received recently brings into sharp relief the terms of a current, vehement debate. It came in response to the assertion I have put forth several times in this website that the winner of the Womens U.S. Open should get an automatic bid to the U.S. Open or that the winner of the LPGA Championship should get an automatic bid to the PGA Championship. Here it is, in its entirety:
The US Womens Open Champion has absolutely no business getting a U.S. Open exemption. Its barely arguable that she has better credentials than the winner of the U.S. Amateur. The U.S. Amateur is played mostly on a U.S. Open-worthy course, with a setup similar to a U.S. Open, and played at a yardage similar to a U.S. Open. The U.S. Womens Open has none of these similarities.
Annikas one time failure and Michelle Wies repeated dog & pony show should be all the evidence that is needed to make the case against allowing the winner of the Womens Open anywhere near an exemption into the U.S. Open.
It would not have been funny to watch recent Womens Open champ Hillary Lunke attempt to play a U.S. Open course. Her average driving distance is 236 yards. What good would it do the LPGA to have their Open champ not be able to reach several holes in regulation? [Anonymous]
Lets dissect these myths one by one.
1. Its barely arguable she has better credentials than the winner of the U.S. Amateur
The winner of the Womens Open is always a touring professional, someone making their living playing the game competitively. Almost always, she is a seasoned veteran. Occasionally, not often, but occasionally you get a weird winner like a Birdie Kim or a Hillary Lunke, but even then, these are people week in and week out competing for a paycheck at the highest level. The winner of the Mens Amateur is someone who wants to make his living earning a weekly paycheck playing the game at the highest level. Yes, his game is probably longer. But his mental toughness is equal to if not less than the seasoned female veteran whose game is honed by the weekly competition on tour.
The Amateur winner aside, the following people also get an exemption to the U.S. Open:
A) The winner of the U.S. Senior Open his length is not what it used to be too. To offer him an exemption, but not the Womens Open winner, cannot be defended on any other grounds.
B) Two top players from the Japan Tour Money List (provided that he is in the top 75 in the world money list) the Japan Tour gets two, the LPGA gets zero? How is that fair?
C) Two top players form the Australian Tour money list (same top-75 proviso) see the Japan Tour reaction above.
2. The US Amateur is played mostly on a U.S. Open-worthy course, with a setup similar to a U.S. Open, and played at a yardage similar to a U.S. Open. The U.S. Womens Open has none of these similarities.
Guess again. Blackwolf Run anyone? Or Cherry Hills? Sure, they were not long, but the setup was every bit a gauntlet and a grueling test. The same ankle-high rough, the same Bandaid-wide fairways, the same Glimmerglass-ice for greens. Sure, its not as long/ But the issue is not whether she would be competitive, the issue is she should get the exemption as a reward for her victory. It takes back room exemptions given to stars and turns the issue of women playing on the PGA Tour into a meritocracy, which is the heart of the game. Besides, just think how epic it would be when the first women qualifier actually does make the cut.
3. It would not have been funny to watch recent Womens Open champ Hillary Lunke attempt to play a U.S. Open course. Her average driving distance is 236 yards. What good would it do the LPGA to have their Open champ not be able to reach several holes in regulation?
This is fair comment. Assuming just for a moment without conceding it mind you that the difficulty of the Mens Open coupled with adamant refusal to change would make it an exercise in futility for a woman to make the cut, the setup of the PGA Championship is another matter entirely.
Sure the course is long, but recent aggregate scores show the course to be friendly to birdies. This year 19-under par won. In 2004, 10 under won. David Toms broke Nicklauss aggregate scoring record in 2001 at -15. The LPGA champion would have little difficulty in getting around on the PGA Championship course. Moreover, if we give a large number of club pros guys who do NOT play competitively for a living fistfuls of free passes, we can find room for one woman who does play week in and week out who also won the flagship event of her tour.
There is one other argument in favor of granting the LPGA champion the automatic bid to the PGA over the USGA counterpart. The Womens Open is help the week after the mens. Instead of getting ready to compete in the Open, spending the week prior in such a crucible could have a negative effect on the winner defending her title the next week. The problem is obviated with the PGA-LPGA Championship argument since the LPGA Championship is early in the year, and the appearance at the PGA Championship would be many months later and not during a critical LPGA Tour stop.
All in all, its time to take the issue out of smoke-filled back rooms full of dirty money and traded favors and turn it into a meritocracy. We offer exemptions to males clearly inferior to the best of the LPGA Tour. That should change. We also avoid the appearance of playing favorites. Finally, if people are so hellbent on integrating the Tour (which, despite Ron Siraks affirmation to the contrary, will not happen in 12 years), the way to do it is by selecting the players who truly deserve it not being sold a false bill of goods by slick marketers and gender warriors who understand little about the game.

North-East accents a target for Westminster 'bullies', says Pat Glass, MP for North West Durham
5:45pm Sunday 16th February 2014
5:45pm Sunday 16th February 2014
FEMALE MPS are being 'bullied' in the House of Commons because of their North-East accents, it has been claimed.
The region is represented by several women including Pat Glass, MP for Durham North West, new South Shields MP, Emma Lewell-Buck and Sunderland MP, Julie Elliott.
After being repeatedly heckled in the chamber Mrs Glass told told her colleagues their behaviour was 'unacceptable'.
Loading article content
"The hardest thing I have had to cope with since becoming an MP is the macho culture of the House of Commons," she explained.
"It is gladiatorial, and led by the male MPs. They are macho, there is bullying, and it is far worse for female MPs. And the Tories will behave worse especially with accents. If they spot a northern accent they start shouting about it to put you off."
Mrs Glass added that the abuse is worse for those women MPs with a strong accent, such as new South Shields MP Emma Lewell-Buck.
"I know Emma has a lovely strong accent but they have really gone for her in the chamber over that, really gone for her.
"She has that Sarah Millican accent and they shout at her because of it," she added referring to the stand-up comedienne.
There are 48 female Tory MPs compared to 256 males, and only four fully fledged members of the 22-strong cabinet. In the shadow cabinet, there are 14 women out of 27 members.
The Conservatives declined to comment last night, but Mr Cameron has admitted there were "not nearly enough" female Tory MPs.

i'm obviously freaked out about this coming down to a 1 game playoff, but here is how i'm choosing to look at this:
1) we played 1/3 of a game tonight.
2) we came DAMN near tying it up at the end despite playing 1/3 of a game tonight.
3) we will not play 1/3 of a game in front of a stanley cup finals game 7 home crowd at the joe. i don't think that is humanly possible.
ozzie, just keep doing what you're doing.

Mirror, Mirror
Textbook economics is "a bizarre point of view"--according to the textbook's author!
(Best of the Tube This Weekend: We discuss the Supreme Court's latest gun-rights case on "The Journal Editorial Report." Fox News Channel, Saturday 2 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET, Sunday 6 a.m. ET.)
Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what he calls "the incredible gap that has opened up between the parties":
Today, Democrats and Republicans live in different universes, both intellectually and morally.
"What Democrats believe," he says "is what textbook economics says":
But that's not how Republicans see it. Here's what Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, had to say when defending Mr. Bunning's position (although not joining his blockade): unemployment relief "doesn't create new jobs. In fact, if anything, continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work."
Krugman scoffs: "To me, that's a bizarre point of view--but then, I don't live in Mr. Kyl's universe."
What does textbook economics have to say about this question? Here is a passage from a textbook called "Macroeconomics":
Public policy designed to help workers who lose their jobs can lead to structural unemployment as an unintended side effect. . . . In other countries, particularly in Europe, benefits are more generous and last longer. The drawback to this generosity is that it reduces a worker's incentive to quickly find a new job. Generous unemployment benefits in some European countries are widely believed to be one of the main causes of "Eurosclerosis," the persistent high unemployment that affects a number of European countries.
So it turns out that what Krugman calls Sen. Kyl's "bizarre point of view" is, in fact, textbook economics. The authors of that textbook are Paul Krugman and Robin Wells. Miss Wells is also known as Mrs. Paul Krugman.
It seems Krugman himself lives in two different universes--the universe of the academic economist and the universe of the bitter partisan columnist. Or maybe this is like that episode of "Star Trek" in which crewmen from the Enterprise switched places with their counterparts from a universe in which everyone was the same, only evil.
Like Spock, the evil Krugman is the one with the beard.
Questions Former Enron Adviser Paul Krugman May Be Asking
"Is That Saturn's Moon Titan or Utah?"--headline, Jet Propulsion Laboratory press release, March 4
Bushism of the Day
"Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good."--Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, March 5
Redoubling Their Efforts
"Undaunted by a rash of scandals over the science underpinning climate change, top climate researchers are plotting to respond with what one scientist involved said needs to be 'an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach' to gut the credibility of skeptics," the Washington Times reports:
In private e-mails obtained by The Washington Times, climate scientists at the National Academy of Sciences say they are tired of "being treated like political pawns" and need to fight back in kind. Their strategy includes forming a nonprofit group to organize researchers and use their donations to challenge critics by running a back-page ad in the New York Times.
"Most of our colleagues don't seem to grasp that we're not in a gentlepersons' debate, we're in a street fight against well-funded, merciless enemies who play by entirely different rules," Paul R. Ehrlich, a Stanford University researcher, said in one of the e-mails.
Some scientists question the tactic and say they should focus instead on perfecting their science, but the researchers who are organizing the effort say the political battle is eroding confidence in their work.
"This was an outpouring of angry frustration on the part of normally very staid scientists who said, 'God, can't we have a civil dialogue here and discuss the truth without spinning everything,'" said Stephen H. Schneider, a Stanford professor and senior fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment who was part of the e-mail discussion but wants the scientists to take a slightly different approach.
We almost have to wonder if this is a joke. These so-called scientists are in trouble because they have long acted like aggressive partisans rather than honest seekers of truth. Is it really possible that they think they'll get out of trouble by doing more of the same? It's almost as if a politician, having pursued unpopular policies and suffered a rebuke at the polls, decided to push even harder for the same rejected policies. Except that any smart politician would know better.
In That Case, Don't Bet Against Pelosi
"Dems Turn Risky Health Vote Into Manhood Contest"--headline, Washington Examiner, March 5
Shoddy Construction? Blame Global Warming.
Those partisan scientists have an ally in the partisan press. A hilarious article in the New York Times's Home & Garden section blames global warming for "unprecedented foundation failures in houses nationwide." We're not kidding:
Extreme weather possibly linked to climate change, as well as construction on less stable ground, have provoked unprecedented foundation failures in houses nationwide. Foundation repair companies report a doubling and tripling of their business in the last two decades with no let-up even during the recession.
"We've seen a tremendous influx of pretty severe cases due to either drought or too much rain," said Dan Jaggers, vice president of technical services at Olshan Foundation Repair, which has offices in the South, Midwest and Great Plains. "People call panicked because they've got gaping cracks in their walls, tile breaking, grout popping and they don't know what to do." Other telltale signs of foundation failure include doors and windows that will not close, chimneys or porches separating from the house and bowing basement walls.
The Times gives no actual evidence that global warming is causing the problem, and it provides a figure that raises doubts as to whether the problem is even growing:
Experts estimate the cost to homeowners to stabilize or shore up foundations is around $4 billion annually, up from $3 billion 10 years ago, although more houses have also been built in that time period.
According to InflationData.com, the Consumer Price Index stood at 168.8 in January 2000 and 216.687 a decade later--an increase of 28.3%. Thus inflation accounts for the vast majority of the 33% increase in foundation-repair expense, with an undetermined additional amount resulting from increased construction.
But maybe someone from the Times business section can find a way to blame global warming for inflation.Or maybe inflation causes climate change, as suggested by this headline from Crain's New York Business: "High Price of New CUNY Law Home Creates Storm."
Inherit the Warmth
"Darwin Foes Add Warming to Targets"--headline, New York Times, March 4
When the Only Tool You Have Is a Hammer . . .
"The Obama administration is pushing to carve out an exemption for China and other permanent members of the U.N. Security Council from legislation pending in the Senate and the House that would tighten sanctions on companies doing business in Iran," the Washington Post reports.
China has balked at supporting a fourth round of U.N. sanctions on Iran. That has emboldened countries on the council, such as Brazil, Turkey and Lebanon, to also express opposition.
The administration's plan in effect would label China as a country cooperating in the U.S.-led drive to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and appears to be part of a broader strategy to prod Beijing to vote for a new sanctions resolution. The three previous resolutions enjoyed broad support in the 15-member council, so any result that includes several abstentions or no votes would be viewed as a major diplomatic setback.
According to the Post, the administration wants to exempt from sanctions "the six countries seeking to negotiate with Iran on its nuclear program. The six are the five permanent members of the Security Council--the United States, France, Russia, China and Britain--and Germany. The most controversial, by far, would be China."
Really? We'd think U.S. sanctions that don't apply to U.S. companies would be even more controversial. But anyway, this is almost indistinguishable from the corrupt process that yielded the Senate ObamaCare bill. All we need is cutesy nicknames like "Cheese-Eaters Kickback" and "Siberian Purchase."
What Makes a 'Right-Wing Extremist'?
A nut opened fire at the Pentagon yesterday, prompting police to return fire. Two Pentagon cops were mildly wounded and the nut, John Patrick Bedell, was killed.
The Christian Science Monitor reports that Bedell "appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings." Its basis for this characterization:
Details of Mr. Bedell's case are still emerging. But writings by someone with his same name and birth date, posted on the Internet, express ill will toward the government and the armed forces and question whether Washington itself might have been behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
We suppose if Cindy Sheehan ever picked up a gun and started shooting, the media would describe her as a "right-wing extremist" too.
Training for Training's Sake
"The Army's ability to train its forces is 'increasingly at risk' because of the nation's protracted commitments to Iraq and Afghanistan, the general in charge of training has told the Army's chief of staff," McClatchy Newspapers report:
In a Feb. 16 memo to Gen. George Casey, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the commander of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, says the Army has lost thousands of uniformed trainers because of troop demands in Iraq and Afghanistan, has had to put junior officers in charge of some key training functions and has delayed initial instruction for nearly 500 pilots because it doesn't have enough trainers. . . .
"We are behind in integrating lessons learned, developing training and updating doctrine," Dempsey wrote in the memo, a copy of which McClatchy obtained. "We are undermanned in our efforts to design the future Army."
And Army training is very important, because the Army may one day be called upon to fight a w--oh, wait, no, that would interfere with their training. Can't have that!

If ObamaCare Dies, at Least There's ObamaTour
"Obama Signs Bill to Entice Foreign Travelers to US," according to the headline on this Associated Press dispatch from Washington:
President Barack Obama has signed a bill creating a program to promote the U.S. as a premier tourism destination for international travelers.
The U.S. Travel Association calls it a major step in addressing the drop-off in such visits to the U.S. during the past decade. The association says the U.S. welcomed 2.4 million fewer overseas visitors last year than in 2000. And that, the group says, has cost it an estimated $509 billion in total spending and $32 billion in direct tax receipts.
Government and private industry would evenly split the program's costs, with Washington contributing up to $100 million a year. That money will come from a $10 fee paid by foreigners who do not pay for visas to enter the U.S.
That's it. Unless the AP is leaving something out, the only enticement ObamaTour offers would-be visitors is the prospect of shelling out a sawbuck. The president must think foreigners just love paying taxes.

Many living outside Montoursville view Mike Mussina a similar way. They see him as a former Major League 20-game winner, an all-star, a World Series participant and potential Hall of Famer.
The Montoursville basketball players Mussina now coaches view him a lot differently.
"I would have been in my glory, having a professional athlete as my coach and these guys just look at Mike as a regular dad in the community," Montoursville assistant coach Mark Molesky said. "You think when he talks your mouth would drop open, but to these kids it's really no different than a teacher or a friend talking to them."
That is just the way Mussina likes it. The 18-year Major League veteran did not become Montoursville's head boys basketball coach for himself. This is all about combining two passions: giving back and sports. Mussina's playing days ended following his 20-win season in 2008, but he has been coaching various Montoursville sports since then, and now is trying to revive a Montoursville program which has fallen on hard times the last five years.
It is a big challenge. It also is an opportunity to give back to a town he adores while providing life lessons that go beyond basketball. For Mussina, it does not get much better.
"I love coaching. If I didn't like doing this kind of stuff, I could be doing a whole lot of other things," Mussina said. "It's rewarding. It's nice to get out there and help these kids battle through a growing point in their lives when they have a lot of issues they have to tackle off the court, out of school and in school."
Mussina, who is on baseball's Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this year, knows all about what his players are experiencing because he has lived it. Before becoming a 270-game winner and seven-time Gold Glove winner, Mussina was a standout three-sport athlete at Montoursville. He is the program's second all-time leading scorer, trailing only Molesky, and excelled in the classroom as well, earning a scholarship to Stanford. Mussina has experienced the ups and downs that go with the teenage years and he is hoping to ensure his players enjoy mostly the ups as they grow through adolescence.
Make no mistake, Mussina is an intense competitor who loves to win. His rsum speaks volumes. But the four-time American League All-Star sees the big picture, too. High school sports are as much about learning life lessons as they are about winning and losing. That is why Mussina is fully embracing this latest chapter in his life. That is why an 0-6 start with an inexperienced team which lost all five starters from last year's five-win team does not faze him.
"It can be tough as you go from being a teenager to getting closer to adulthood. They're not really sure how to handle some of those things and if we can get out here and put them in the right direction a couple times here and there, maybe it will stick a little bit," Mussina said. "Maybe they'll learn something and they'll be better people when they get out of school."
Mussina coached the Montoursville junior high team the last two years and also helped Molesky coach the high school team when time allowed. Molesky and Mussina first coached together from 1993-96 when both served as assistant coaches during Mussina's offseasons. Following last season, Molesky told Mussina he would be happy to serve as assistant if Mussina wanted to become the varsity team's head coach.
If the roles had been reversed, Molesky would have had his reservations. But Mussina did not hesitate. He was ready.
"Mike's the one that sort of got the ball rolling and got me into it (in 2012) and I initiated the meeting after last season and told him I'd help him and be his assistant," Molesky said. "I asked him, are you sure you want to coach? Are you sure you don't want to watch (oldest son) Brycen play?' But he said he wanted to coach and made the decision."
He has not regretted it either. While the record is not what Mussina would like, he is enjoying everything else his team is giving him. The Warriors play as hard as anyone and never backed down against District 4 Class A title contender Mansfield on Monday despite trailing 16-3 early in the second quarter. Montoursville pulled within three on four occasions and then cut a double-digit deficit in half during the second half.
The thing is, Montoursville does not play bad basketball. The Warriors ran excellent sets against Mansfield, did get a good job getting open, worked for high-percentage shots and played tenacious defense. They also held their first five opponents to fewer than 60 points.
Mussina and Montoursville want more than moral victories, but these are signs of progress. Mussina knows as well as anyone, nothing great is accomplished without hard work. The work ethic and desire is there and that provides a nice foundation to build everything else around.
"Coach Mussina has to be proud. His kids played really, really hard," Mansfield coach Kipper Burleigh said. "They were very aggressive and they never quit. They kept answering. We kept pushing the lead back up and they would hit big shots. They kept answering and their team definitely has a lot of upside."
Mussina knows it, too. The competitive juices are flowing and Mussina is attacking the job as hard as he would the Boston Red Sox lineup. The challenge, the helping out is what makes it fun.
"A month from now if we're still playing like that I'll be really proud of them because we have a lot of games between now and then against a lot of good teams and as we're growing and getting better we're going to have some speed bumps we're going to run into," Mussina said. "We just have to keep moving forward and not look back and not worry about what we can't control. If the kids can keep that attitude and keep the effort up and keep learning then eventually we'll be a much better basketball team."
To so many, Mussina is, and always will be, a sensational baseball player. Come Jan. 8, he might also be a Hall of Famer. Right now, though, Mussina is a full-time basketball coach and he is happy.
There really is no place Mussina would rather be.

Customer Question
I am in recovery ( BPD) However in the last few weeks I have noticed that some of my bad habits are returning, like bingeing, impulse buying, thoughts of self harm, smoking more, dreaming of self harming and not wanting to get on with things. I don't have anyone to talk to about this. I find it difficult to talk to my husband about these things. I am wondering weather I should contact the mental health team? I don't want to make a fuss and waste their time!

Thanks for your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I'd like to help you out.
It's good to hear that you have been in recovery but I can certainly understand your concern over the bad habits returning. Considering the fact that you don't have anyone else to talk to about this, it would probably be a good idea to contact the mental health team. I know that you don't want to make a fuss or waste their time, and I completely respect that. However, the reason in contacting them now, is because if you are able to get some help, it may prevent a larger problem from happening, and in that way you may be helping the mental health team in the long run by taking some preventative measures now. It's not uncommon for someone in recovery to have difficulties and even relapse which I am sure they are aware of. If you are able to get a handle on it before it gets worse by calling the mental health team, that seems to be a good way to be proactive about your own recovery.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time but I hope that I was able to answer your question. If there's anything else I can do to help just let me know.

Hi,I would like to answer the question in two parts. First part I would like to elaborate some of the symptoms you mentioned and their significance In the second part would comment briefly about my suggested plan of action.I am pleased to read that you are able to identify early some of the warning signs of relapse. As with most of the mental health problems BPD also runs in relapsing and remitting course.The symptoms you mentioned..Binging, it is not an uncommon symptom with BPD as it is somewhat about the control over food. We do know that eating disorder symptoms are co morbidly associated with BPD and their recurrence can be interpreted as the relapse of the illness. It is important to address this problem as sometimes the pattern can deteriorate and moves to restriction of food intake thinking which would effect your physical health in general if left unaddressed. Next symptom , Impulse buying, again a symptom of poor impulse control and relapse of the illness. However, one more important thing is we usually recommend after any burst of excessive spending to be seen by a mental health professional to rule out any co occurrence of major mood disorder.If left unaddressed again this could effect you negatively in the long term in the form of accumulated debts.Thoughts of self harm and dreaming of self harm can be very worrying and difficult to manage by yourself.It is important to seek help to address these issues. So, it is important for you to seek help. By contacting the CMHT they would appreciate your willingness to seek help and identify early warning signs of relapse. Sometimes the medications need to be looked in to, although I mus agree medications are not the first line in the treatment. Your community mental health team might choose to refer you to Crisis resolution and Home treatment team which can provide short term Intensive support at home.This might be helpful especially if you are struggling to communicate these feeling with your husband.Moreover it is important not to put all these as a relapse of the BPD because you have past history. It might be helpful to have contact with Mental health professionals. Please discuss this either with your GP or Your mental health team. All the mental health teams do have a duty worker between 9 to 5.So, you can ask to speak to the duty worker.Due to the bank holiday weekend, if you are struggling to cope it might be helpful to contact OOH GP service.so, that you would be referred to home treatment team by them if they feel necessary/appropriate.I hope you find this answer helpful. I have to say you have been very good in identifying the early symptoms.I wish you all the best. If you find the answer useful ,please leave a positive feedback. Thank you

Thank you for your answer, I found it reassuring that I am on the right track and reaffirmed that I need to take action. I have had CBT and CAT therapies in the past and found them useful. I now feel I need someone to talk to help me understand what is happening and how best to put in place all the tools I have learnt and know. I have been wondering if another approach therapeutically would be of use right now. I have done all the past stuff and understand how I became to have BPD or as my psychiatrist has diagnosed it Emotionaly Unstable Personality Disorder sub type Borderline, with recurring Depressive episodes. I feel confused and getting conflicting messages from my mind as to how I am feeling. Things are quite good in my life and I am more confident and able to take on challenges. I do feel that by having these destructive thoughts and feelings I am failing. I am taking my medication on time every day and don't run out. What is going on? I don't have a reason for being like this. I seem to have rambled on a bit, thank you for listening.

Hi, Thank you for the response.
I want you to know that sometimes interpersonal reasons can effect how the person feels especially when the person has history of BPD. Having said that I have also seen some of my patients have experienced a mild set back with out obvious triggers.
So, I want you to continue believe in your self and seek help as we discussed in my previous answer. I am pleased to hear that you have received CBT and CAT therapies in the past and able to use some of the techniques learnt.
If you want to consider other options there is some evidence that Art therapies do offer some practical help. Another important thing if you feel you need to talk to on regular basis is to discuss with your CMHT about the option of short term input from support worker or Occupational therapist with time limited and specific goal based involvement to support you through this phase. You can also discuss with your CMHT the option of home treatment to help you through this crisis and then involve the options we discussed.
If you find the answer helpful please leave a positive feedback. I wish you all the best. Thank you.

Hi, I would like to say that things are still much the same. I have not yet rung the CMHT but I am going to tomorrow as my motivation levels have dropped and I feel tired most of the time. Mornings are ok but from mid mornings I start to loose energy and motivation. The day starts off great and I make plans as to what needs doing. Then it's gone! But then I am having muscular problems. I am seeing a physio for this, so I guess that could be contributing to how I feel. So I should not moan so much!! I am still functioning and fulfilling my obligations eg voluntary work 3 x a week and taking my dog for a walk and doing the daily shop. Thanks for listening.
Doctor Rao

Hi,Sorry to hear that things are more or less the same.However it is reassuring to know that you are motivating yourself to do your best for three times a week voluntary work and taking the do for walk.
It is important to speak to your CMHT to explore the option see discussed previously.
When you ring CMHT tomorrow,please ask to be seen by a duty worker even if they haven't got outpatient slots available straight away.My understanding is the duty worker would usually be able to see you if you request or not feeling well. You can also explore the option of low dose SSRI to improve the motivation,if you already not on any.
I can completely understand the tiredness and motivation issues if you are developing muscle pains by the afternoon. I am pleased to know that you are receiving some help from the physiotherapist which can contribute tot he recovery in a positive way.
I wish you all the best. Please do not hesitate to ask me for more information if required. I wish you good luck and hope you wold be able to sort things out with CMHT tomorrow.
Thank you.

Hi all,
Sometimes a picture tells it all -- how very cruel corporate policy can be. As always, right click on image for a menu of choices. Len.
Could parents be prosecuted for shunning their children under the age of 18? Have JW parents shunned children under the age of 18?
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
If they are minors, they generally don't shun them. And even if they did, nothing in the literature pushes them to do so. In this case, the borg can truly say they are acting on their own.
The advice given regarding df'd minors is that the parents will be focused on getting them reinstated. Since they are the head of the children, they can still discuss spiritual things with them with the goal of reinstatement. However, I'm sure the kids don't get to take part in social things anymore---even if the rest of the family does.
Hi FF,
Whoops, now I know my eyes are getting bad when I think a soccer ball is the moon! lol (changes glasses! )
Wow, youngest baptism age 6 ... youngest df age 12!
Scary, criminal & so stupid! You would think charges could be laid for sure.
This is a Canadian link ...... scroll to the bottom part to see 'shunning'.
Have a nice week-end FF ...
When I was at Bethel, at a circuit assmebly the circuit overseer announced to the audience that a 4 year old girl was baptised at that assembly. It was around 1994 or so. I can't remember the CO but he was black and always said "aks," instead of ask. It was at the assembly hall in , can't remember the city, but i think it's, oh just remembered, the Monroe assembly Hall in Westchester county, or Rockland county. Anyway, you can update your thing if you can take my word for it.
From a recent Watchtower, July of this year, the following makes clear their position. Note that, apparently, members had been using the "necessary family business" excuse in order to associate with disfellowshipped family members who live outside the home. The photo (reduced in size for ease of bandwidth) accompanies the text of the article.
13 The parents are devastated! On
the subject of disfellowshipping,
they know, of course, that the Bible
says "to quit mixing in company with anyone
called a brother that is a fornicator or a
greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a
drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating
with such a man." (1 Cor. 5:11,13) They also
realize that the word "anyone" in this verse
includes family members not living under
their roof. But they love their son so much!
Strong emotions might cause them to reason:
'How can we help our boy return to Jehovah
if we severely limit our association
with him? Would we not accomplish more
by maintaining regular contact with him?'
14 Our hearts go out to those parents. After
all, their son had a choice, and he chose to
pursue his unchristian lifestyle rather than
to continue to enjoy close association with
his parents and other fellow believers. The
parents, on the other hand, had no say in
the matter. No wonder they feel helpless!
15 But what will those dear parents do?
Will they obey Jehovah's clear direction? Or
will they rationalize that they can have regular
association with their disfellowshipped
son and call it "necessary family business"?
In making their decision, they must not fail
to consider how Jehovah feels about what
they are doing. His purpose is to keep the or-
ganization clean and, if possible, to incite
wrongdoers to come to their senses. ...
The Watchtower, July 15, 2011
Hi Zengalileo,
Thanks for that remarkable experience you heard and I believe you. For the sake of my illustration, however, I will stick with one that readers can look up on their WT Libray CD where this is but one of two six year olds that were baptized at such an early age. It's interesting that these instances were related in yearbooks of the 90's but actually recalled from decades earlier. An obvious Watchtower attempt to encourage early baptism.

Objective: To determine the clinical significance of cytomegalovirus (CMV) blood and urine cultures in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Design: Inception cohort of patients with HIV infection and CMV culture data.
Setting: Government referral-based research hospital.
Patients: A total of 322 HIV-infected patients who had a CMV blood culture and 293 HIV-infected patients who had a CMV urine culture within 7 days of a CD4 determination.
Measurements: Cytomegalovirus blood and urine culture results; circulating CD4 lymphocyte counts; pathologic or retinopathic findings of CMV disease.
Results: Nine of 26 patients (34.6%) with CMV viremia subsequently developed CMV end-organ disease compared with 11 of 74 (14.9%) patients without viremia, (difference, 19.7%; 95% CI, −0.3% to 39.7%). Fifteen of 47 patients (31.9%) with CMV viruria developed end-organ disease compared with 4 of 43 (9.3%) patients without viruria, (difference, 22.6%; CI, 6.7% to 38.5%). Cytomegalovirus culture positivity had poor predictive value for the subsequent development of end-organ disease (35% for viremia and 28% for viruria). Further, patients with proven end-organ disease were often not viremic (45%), but most were viruric (88%). Cytomegalovirus viremia did not correlate with the presence of either fever or weight loss in this patient group. Both blood culture positivity and urine culture positivity varied inversely with the CD4 count (P = 0.0001 for both associations).
Conclusions: The likelihood that a blood or urine culture will be positive in a patient with HIV infection correlates better with immunologic status than with current or future clinical status. Although the absence of CMV viruria may suggest that CMV disease is not present, CMV blood and urine cultures have poor diagnostic and predictive value and therefore should be used primarily for research purposes or drug susceptibility testing and not for making clinical decisions.
The percent of patients with end-organ disease who had a positive blood culture ( = 26), a negative blood culture ( = 74), or a positive urine culture ( = 47), or a negative urine culture ( = 43) for CMV is shown.
Individuals are grouped according to CMV culture result. A separate analysis groups individuals according to CD4 count greater and less than 100/mm , independent of CMV culture result. Ten patients were blood-culture–positive; 15, blood-culture–negative; 17, urine-culture–positive; and 7, urine-culture–negative. Sixteen patients had CD4 cell counts ≤ 100/mm , and 9 patients had counts greater than 100/mm . Boxes represent mean ± SE.
Results are shown for 293 patients with cytomegalovirus blood and urine cultures done on the same day.

I am considering a shotgun for skeet for my 10 yr old son. I know what my choice would be between these two but wondered if anyone had better ideas or preferences. Thanks

Don't forget to check out Mossberg 500 and new 535 Bantams.
Fit is most important.
You might also want to look at an 11-87 youth model. Having a 10yo trying to quickly pump for that second shot could get frustrating.
July 7, 2005, 09:41 PM
I know nothing...of Chales Daly shotguns. I do however have used and have had kids use a Remington 870 20ga YN. Nice shotgun. I know it was made for youth, but I liked it also.
Mossberg's 500 20ga Bantam is also a good gun, but have found some shells it didn't like. They were just a little to short and would, when bounced a certan way when chambering a round, get the edge of the crimp under the shell lifter, jamming the action open. This is with low buget factory ammo mind you. It doesn't happen very offen, but can and does happen, atleast on the one I have.

I own a Rem Marine Special Purpose and love it. I have never heard of many problems with the Rem and there are gazillions out there.

Is $442.48 too much? It has a shorter stock and a 21" barrel with choke tubes, yeah it's a semi but hey, it's an 1100...
Otherwise, the 870 Youth Camo Turkey at wallyworld is $309, don't see the plain Express but if they can order it, it should run about $275 NIB. There are two 870 Youth Models in our safe, they are great little shotguns. One is set up with a SideSaddle, magazine extension and sling as a 3-gun shotgun, the other is box stock.

Prep time:
Cook time:
Servings: 2
Cost per serving $9.23 view details
- 1 lb of veal meat, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 carrot
- 1 medium onion
- 1/2 stick butter
- 2 egg yolks
- 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- some chopped fresh parsley
- 1 lb of mushrooms (optional)
- Put the meat to boil in cold, slightly salted water (the water should just cover the meat) on low heat. After it boils make sure you remove the froth that forms on the surface of the water; do that 2-3 times.
- Add the carrot and the onion (skin removed), for flavour. Let everything boil until the meat is cooked, then put meat aside and reserve the liquid.
- In a separate pan melt the butter and sprinkle the flour over it. Combine it very well with a whisk and let it cook for a minute on low heat, making sure that the flour doesn't brown; then add, little by little, the liquid resulted from boiling the meat, until the mixture reaches the consistency of sour cream and does not have any lumps. Keep on whisking!
- In the meantime, mix the egg yolks with the sour cream then pour it over the flour mixture. Correct the seasoning and, of course, whisk it some more! :D
- Put the meat (and the mushrooms, if using) in the sauce, and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes more, stirring continuously and without boiling it.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve!
- If you also use mushrooms, saute them in butter before adding to the white sauce.

Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas are all in, but once again, Craig Biggio came up short in his quest for Cooperstown.
The longtime Houston Astros second baseman needed just two more votes to gain entrance to the Baseball Hall of Fame, according to the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Biggio immediately becomes a leading contender to enter the Hall of Fame as part of the 2015 class.
On next year's pitcher-heavy ballot, the most prominent newcomers will be Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz. A preliminary ballot is already available via Baseball-Reference.com.
With all the talented stars slated for the 2015 ballot, there could easily be a trio of inductees for the second year in a row.
Here's a rundown of early induction chances for the 2015 Baseball Hall of Fame class.

Holy sh*tballs! Saturday Night Live was insane last night! Thank you Jimmy Fallon for not making me doze off just after the opening monologue. Thank you Jimmy Fallon for including Michael Buble in the funniest skit of the night. Thank you Jimmy Fallon for making my Saturday night spent at home on my ass better than if I had been out getting plastered followed by hot, sweaty sex with the lights off. The only person who tops that is Santa after he's left diamonds under the tree. Thank you Jimmy Fallon, for the best SNL has been in quite some time.
Jimmy brought back the old school and had a crap load of guests during the show including, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Tracey Morgan. Weekend update's Joke Off was off the hook! And I say that in the most non-white person way I could possibly say it. Bravo Jimmy Fallon. Me heart you.
P.S. I know the sound is off in the videos but it was the best I could find you at the moment.

Happily Ever After Starts Here
Halloween Night 2010
Jodie and two of her girlfriends decided to hit up a bar that they never go to this particular night on the town in Ottawa, ON. The Great Canadian Cabin was regularly a country bar and Jodie hated country music because she didn't know how to dance to it. Luckily this night they were playing all types of music. Scoping out the scene we saw a guy who had scary blue eyes, so Ashley, Jodie's friend started up a conversation. They soon went outside and brought back with them two guy friends. One being Bob. Ashley comes back over and says "I call dibs on the blue eyed guy" and Jodie was perfectly fine with that because she fell for Bob the moment she saw him. He introduces himself and Jodie says, "I'm not going to call you Bob, I'll call you Bobby." Bob had never let anyone call him that before but for some reason it was okay that Jodie did.
The group danced and drank the night away. As the night came to a close the guys invited us girls back to Bob's temp house down the street on Clarence. Once there, Bob and Jodie escaped from the others and holed up in his room where we talked and kissed for hours uncounted.
A photo was captured of them that night listening and singing along to Just a Dream by Nelly. That picture looks as though they had been dating for years and were madly in love.
Believe it or not, they were.
Love at first dance.

Today, I was enjoying some much needed serenity while I ate lunch in an empty park. To my surprise, an older, clean cut man in a suit sits on the bench next to me. Without saying a word, he unleashes the most foul of farts I've ever witnessed, gets up, gives me a nod and leaves. FML

I like to rub my head and see how much dandruff I can get to flake off onto the table...
...it helps if the table is black. Then I collect it together in a tiny film canister. I have about 63 of them stored away. Pretty soon I'll have enough saved up to have another TMundo! Just add water!
Winter Sucks.

Oh what? You've never done that?
You guys are so arrogant. Admit it, you like playing with your dandruff? You wanna start a collection but you've never had the cohones.
Yeah me neither.

Better yet, add water, milk and butter and cook it up in a pan
We call them grits down here

I only do that...
...when I have a picture or drawing of a forest nearby so when the dandruff falls, it looks like snow. Ala Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club.
On another note, I began to form less dandruff after I started working out (16 months ago) and ate better.
Snowed again in the Pacific Northwest. I'm getting sick of winter.

Saw a product on tv called the Ped Egg
It's for getting rid of dead skin on the bottom of your feet.
I was thinking getting one and make porridge out of the by product.
Mmmmmm bet it tastes like feet!

Hope I'm not grossing anybody out

One time I kept burning my feet on the hot cement...
It wasn't until later that night or the next, that as I was in the shower, I began to wash my feet and skin began comming off real thick for som reason. A little scratching would soon prove an entire layer (or layers it was quite thick) would come off the bottom of both of my feet. It never happened again.
