NTSB top 10Sunday, January 19th, 2014
On January 16, 2014 the National Transportation Safety Board released its 2014 Most Wanted List, the top 10 advocacy and awareness priorities for the agency for the year. With the high accident rate in the helicopter industry, helicopter operations have been added to the list. According to the NTSB, between January 2003 and May 2013, 1,470 helicopter accidents have occurred, with 477 fatalities and 274 serious injuries.
The NTSB understands that helicopters are used for a range of operations, each of which presents unique challenges. For example, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) operators transport seriously ill patients and donor organs to emergency care facilities, often creating pressure to conduct these operations safely and quickly in various environmental conditions. These include flying in marginal weather, at night, and landing at unfamiliar areas. Air tour operators and airborne law enforcement units face similar issues.
These and other operational issues have led to an unacceptably high number of helicopter accidents and the NTSB stated there is no simple solution for reducing helicopter accidents. However, they have recommended some safety improvements to mitigate risk. For instance, helicopter operators should develop and implement safety management systems that include sound risk management practices, particularly with regard to inspection and maintenance. Moreover, establishing best practices for both maintenance and flight personnel that include duty-time regulations that take into consideration factors like start time, workload, shift changes, circadian rhythms, adequate rest time, and other factors shown by recent research, scientific evidence, and current industry experience to affect crew alertness. Operators should also make sure that their pilots have access to training that includes scenarios such as inadvertent flight into instrument meteorological conditions and autorotation. Also noted as invaluable when an accident occurs is a crash-resistant flight recorder system that will assist investigators, regulatory agencies, and operators in identifying what went wrong and how to keep it from happening again.
Recent NTSB investigations of 3 accidents resulted in the issuance of 27 safety recommendations pertaining to issues that include risk management, pilot training, maintenance, and flight recorders. These include a June 2009 accident near Santa Fe, New Mexico, involving a helicopter on a search and rescue mission, an August 2011 HEMS accident near Mosby, Missouri and a December 2011 air tour accident near Las Vegas, Nevada.
During the last 10 years the NTSB has issued over 100 safety recommendations. If the high helicopter accident rate continues, the FAA could step in and enact regulatory changes that would force changes on the entire industry.

The Rituximab Study
Status: No Longer Recruiting
Study Findings
Rituximab helps save insulin production in individuals newly diagnosed
Type 1 diabetes occurs when healthy insulin-producing beta cells are attacked by the body's own immune system, leaving the beta cells unable to make enough insulin. There is increasing proof that other cells, called B lymphocytes, play a role in the damage. Rituximab is a drug that successfully targets and destroys B lymphocytes.
In a one-year study of 87 people, ages 8-45, insulin production was better preserved in participants who received rituximab infusions compared to those who received a placebo. In addition, individuals who received rituximab infusions used less insulin.
One-year results were reported in November 2009 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Haute Cuisine: Breakfast Struddle
The Dish: Breakfast Struddle Gourmet Airfare in Detroit has reinvented the venerable apple struddle. The caterer's signature "breakfast struddle" features beaten eggs with cheese and cream and a touch of orange juice for color. To that the chef adds spicy sausage or bacon, or mixed vegetables for non-carnivores. He then cooks the mixture only enough for the eggs to set and quick-chills it to keep it moist. Later, he wraps the ingredients in braided puff pastry dough, brushes the creation with butter and sprinkles it with Parmesan cheese before baking. Oh, yes: There is a diet version. It consists of egg and vegetables-wrapped in air.
The Caterer: Gourmet Airfare, Belleville, MI, (866) 538-3663
Gourmet Airfare, which has been in business for 15 years, serves 12 major airports in southeast Michigan and Ohio and more than a dozen smaller airfields. "It's always a challenge," said owner, executive chef and president Eric Carlson, who recalled that his single toughest assignment probably came last May, when Grand Rapids, Mich.-based marketing giant Amway celebrated its 50th anniversary by flying in its top sales performers from all over the world. "We had to research the favorite dishes of a dozen countries, find the proper ingredients and learn how to prepare them," Carlson said. "We did 16 charter aircraft all on the same day-eight morning departures and eight evening departures." As if that weren't enough to deal with, that one day just happened to be Memorial Day.

Make printing easy with the Samsung Unified Linux Driver Repository
July 13th, 2013 No comments
I recently picked up a cheap Samsung laser printer and decided to give the Samsung Unified Linux Driver Repository a shot while installing it. Basically the SULDR is a repository you add to your /etc/apt/sources.list file which allows you to install one of their driver management applications. Once that is installed anytime you go to hookup a new printer the management application automatically searches the repository, full of the official Samsung printer drivers, finds the correct one for you and installs it. Needless to say I didn't have any problems getting this printer to work on linux!
Previously I was running KDE 4.3.3 on top of Fedora 11 (for the first experiment) and KDE 4.6.5 on top of Gentoo (for the second experiment).

I am not from "space telecom/satellite industry" but to some extent understand the rigor behind multiple phases of prototyping, reliability calculation, testing as the equipments you design can't afford to have a failure causing loss of function and can't afford to come back for a "repair or replacement" :). It is pretty interesting to know the 'Model Philosophy' behind your job.
I am from the industrial background and the design philosophy differs a bit. Money is a factor here and also time to market. Hence things are done in shorter time, spending less on numbers of prototype passes but certainly not compromising with the "needed" quality. Again, there are certain applications such as "Functional Safety" where the failure of a system could cause hazard to human lives or loss of properties...there we also practice similar kinds of rigor...we do HAZOP, FMEDA etc. to calculate probability of failures and follow standards (such as IEC 61508) to avoid "systematic faults", design necessary diagnostics or build redundancies to maintain required "Safety Integrity Level"...also we need to go through assessment by independent agencies (as TUV) and approvals. You might have heard about Functional Safety (IEC 61508).

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (303 votes).
In short: A bit overrated and dull.In full: This is my third muddy race and my least favorite. Theres a lot of trail running and although there are puddles many of them are small and most of them can be easily run around which most people end up doing. Id like to see more tape up to guide people thru the water. I actually found the race a bit boring, not enough hills or decent obstacles. The worst bit is at the finish line - bear in mind the temp wasnt far above zero and everyone was soaking wet - but there was no foil warmer handed out! Plus no food of any kind (not even a banana!) and no goody bag. All I got was a bottle of freezing cold water - just what i wanted (not). To not hand out foil warmers or a snack is rude bordering on negligent especially seeing as the race was over £30 to enter. Dissapointing.Date of review: December 9, 2013
In short: Up a lot, down a lot, wet a lot, cold a lot!In full: Really enjoyed this - first time running this event. I especially enjoyed the challenge of wading through thigh and sometimes waist high ice-cold water. So cold that you couldn't feel your feet for a minute or so after making it through the water - as a good a reason as any to get back running as hard as possible! Race was brilliantly organised - lots of encouraging and well placed marshalls. Friendly crowd and plenty of places to get a coffee beforehand and a bacon sarnie afterwards.Car park can be slow to empty but it's on Army ground so can't really expect multiple entrance and exits.Will probably do again but may do it on the Sunday instead so it's a bit muddier! Being in the front 5% meant the mud didn't get really churned up until more had run on it apparently.Date of review: December 2, 2013
In short: GRIM, are you ready for this!!!In full: It is my 2nd year running this race and I can honestly say, the event, runners, organisers are so friendly, it makes the event a brilliant race just before XMAS. Bring on 2014.Date of review: November 30, 2013
In short: Not very scarey but well-organizedIn full: A bit of tarmac and a lot of trails. Very well-marked (LED lights at regular intervals) and well signed/marshalled. All the marshals very friendly and encouraging. Mile markers and one water station with bottles, which is very useful. Chip timing for accurate and fast results. Not particularly scary, unless you'd never run off-road or in the dark. The only gripe was the lack of signs for car parks when you turned off the main road.Date of review: February 10, 2013
In short: Grim? mildy unpleasant might be more accurate!In full: Only did this to support a charity, was a boring trail run with puddles, full of non-runners, (walking up the 1st hill! Come on)So where was the grim bit? At least Turbo X and Hell runner have real obstacles, and can't even begin to compare with Tough Guy or Grizzly.On the other hand lots of screams and shrieks every time a puddle came up so someone was having fun, ahhh, so sweet!Date of review: December 2, 2012
In short: The most fun muddy and cold race ever! In full: What a cracking run! Pros-Loads of loo's, good parking areas, well marshalled, loads too keep you from getting bored.Cons-Expensive when all you get is a tshirt that you cant run in and would not go out in. There are loads of non runners that take part and the tracks are not that wide so it is very slow untill around 3 miles when things start to thin out a bit.Can not wait to do this again!! Date of review: December 1, 2012
In short: Snow made the race In full: The new Night Terror definitely has potential to be a great race.Positives = organisation, chip timing, email communication prior to race, nice t shirt, amazing marshalls who must have been freezing, the snow made this race special :)Negatives = course not that interesting (although I know they had to change it due to safety concerns with all the ice), could have ramped up the terror element a bit more (people jumping out of shadows for example?), would have liked a medal or goody bag for the entry feeRan as a team and has a blast, would do it again with a group. Would it be better as a Hallowe'en themed night run...more fancy dress opportunities plus less likelihood of the snow & ice problems.Date of review: February 10, 2012
In short: Grim or Glum??In full: Was cold and the weather didn't help the whole ace being run. Gutted that water was cut out, but understand due to the ice. Done Hellrunner and it's well behind that for value. Would have liked a goody bag or medal. Does anyone know the full distance ? I reckon it wasn't more than 6 miles and that's what others have stated.May do it again, but will miss 2013 to see how it goes.Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Good Fun but not Grim In full: As has already been said the weather knocked a big hole in the Grimness of the event. The organisers did well to keep it on, and I think a lot of lessons have been learnt from this inaugural night terror. Later in the year when its frost free would be better, and if not I'll wait til the day to enter and see what the weather's like. It was fun - but not really a challenge.Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Nice night time run, but what happened to the terror? In full: The snow that was falling added a definate atmosphere to the event however, I did not expect the race to be so tame. Terror was no where to be had, in fact I get more worry running through Guildford town centre at night. I do understand that due to the weather certain re routing may be needed, but not a reduction in the race length. Given the hype very disappointing.Date of review: February 5, 2012

*Queen Latifah says she's moving forward with plans to adopt a child – telling "The View" this morning that she's "working on" becoming a mother.
[SUBSCRIBE TO EURWEB's RSS FEED]
The rapper-turned-actress, real name Dana Owens, has previously spoken of her desire to enter parenthood, claiming she first became interested in adoption as a teenager.
When asked by co-host Barbara Walters if she was serious about adoption, she replied, "I'm actually kind of working on that."
Latifah admitted she had been inspired to act after watching a moving TV movie, adding, "I think I saw one of those specials… you know those movies of the week. And it was like… I just always wanted to bring a child home."
When Barbara asked, "So are you really seriously planning on adopting?" Latifah responds, "I'm totally serious, so if you got a kid that you don't… Just give me a year — let me set up camp and send me the kid. But no, no totally."
The 42-year-old, who has always refused to comment on speculation about her sexuality, was recently forced to dismiss claims she had come out as a lesbian after performing at a gay pride event in California in May.
She said, "That definitely wasn't the case. I've never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It's just not gonna happen."

Hey beautiful (yes, I'm talking to you)!
Just wanted to write a quick blog saying thank you to everyone who is waiting it out with us. It's taken us a long time to write this record, but I assure you, it's going to be worth the wait. We're sitting on about 30 songs now, 10-12 of which will make up our best record to date! I don't plan on stopping the writing until we're out of the studio. Hell, I plan on writing continuously, I've learned that the more I do it, the better the songs get. You'd think I'd run out of content… I haven't yet! So until I do, it's writing, writing, writing! Thinking about whipping up another acoustic Christmas song for you. Whatcha think? Have you heard this one I did in 2008?
Again, thank you for sticking with us.

ChocoRite Protein Shake Mix is a premium easy-mixing shake mix designed to help serious dieters lose weight fast. ChocoRite Protein Shakes provide a high 24 grams of the highest quality protein (Whey Protein Isolate - 90% pure) in every shake. It helps flush the fat out through the inclusion of 5 grams of quality fiber. ChocoRite's fat source is superior as well. It is comprised of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which new science has shown to increase energy and actually burn fat. These fat calories burn as fuel instead of being stored as fat as other fat sources tend to do.
ChocoRite Protein Shake Mix also contains a superior natural prebiotic fiber called Isomalto-Oligosaccharide (IMO). IMO feeds the good bacteria in the stomach small intestine and colon. Because it metabolizes to Short Chain Fatty Acids, it digests much slower eliminating the gas and discomfort associated with other fiber sources. Other benefits include:
- Improves mineral absorption
- Promotes a healthy digestive system
- Increases the level of goof bacteria
- Strengthens the immune system
TruCarbs are only those carbohydrates that have a notable impact on blood sugar levels. Maltitol and other sugar replacers that have a significant Glycemic Impact are not to be subtracted to determine TruCarbs; Glycerin, Erythritol and Fiber can be.

Alex Shepherd Durham, ON
Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the member for Calgary Centre. There is just one aspect of the harmonized GST that the hon. member possibly did not touch on and that is the whole concept of the ability to remove provincial sales tax from export sales.
Members will know that Canada is a major exporting country. Indeed, a big section of our job growth has been related to the export sector. Much of the financial recovery that we are going through right now is related to exports. The maritime provinces, in particular, need to rebuild their economy so that they move into the 21st century. Exporting will be a big feature of that.
For example, in my riding General Motors manufactures cars and sells them on the U.S. market. Every car that is shipped into the United States from plants in Oshawa will have a certain degree of provincial sales tax embedded in the selling price. That makes our exports less competitive with some of the other competitors that are involved, such as OECD countries and southeast Asia. One of the main aspects of the GST was its ability to remove taxes from export sales.
We have provided these three provinces in particular-and the province of Quebec already has a harmonized GST-with a tool to rebuild their economy and a tool to enter into the 21st century with a more dynamic economy zeroed in on export sales.
Why would the member and his party try to frustrate the whole concept of building a new and better economy for the people of the maritimes to create jobs in the future?
Excise Tax Act
Government Orders

Jim Silye Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, I welcome the question from the hon. member. I agree that a goods and services tax, that a consumption tax along the lines of the GST does eliminate tax cascading and does allow us to produce and manufacture products, and export goods at a lower cost.
That still does not justify what the government is doing with this partial harmonization in three provinces. That is a tax theory, a tax question, and I agree with the member's point of view on it.
How long will it take the savings from this Oshawa plant to recover a billion dollars of taxpayers' money to help three provinces to recover the $100 million minimum that some of these businesses have said it will cost them to conform to this new bill? Yes, it is good for business. Yes, products can be sold cheaper. However, in the end the very philosophy of a GST is that the consumer pays the tax. The hon. member knows that.
What we have done here is make it more fair for business. There is no question about that. However, we have now increased taxes. Harmonization helps. Instead of having two taxes, federal and provincial we have one. All those arguments make sense.
When the consumers find out how much more it will cost them, I predict there will be a lot more complaints and a lot more people crying about it than there is now. Everybody will be affected. At first they support the theory and the concept. Then, as they find out more about it, it becomes like the tax inclusive pricing which is causing a nightmare. That is what is really creating a cost for businesses.
The government would have them on side if it just dumped it. I do not know why the geniuses in cabinet do not go for it. They are stubborn. They will force it. The MPs will have to explain it. That is fine. Handle it. That is their job. They brought this in.
In the end, wait until the consumers get a hold of it. Wait until they see how it affects them. That is when it will be really of concern to members of Parliament, especially the Atlantic provinces. They will hear about it in their constituency offices. I predict that.
Excise Tax Act
Government Orders
1:35 p.m.
John Maloney Erie, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to rise today to speak on Bill C-70, the harmonized sales tax bill.
A great deal has been said in this debate about harmonization, what it will mean for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador. For the benefit of this House I want to take a moment to review some of these benefits. I would remind hon. members that the HST and its ensuing benefits will impact positively on the three participating provinces.
Clearly there could be additional benefits for the other provinces as well. I hope people are listening carefully to this debate today, especially in my home province of Ontario. It has been repeated several times in this debate that Bill C-70 represents a significant step toward a fully harmonized sales tax system, one of the government's goals.
The end result for the three participating provinces will be a system that is fair to consumers and small businesses residing and operating there. The new system will also promote fiscal co-operation and harmonization among the federal government and those three provinces. Hon. members know why harmonization will result in a simpler, fairer and more economically efficient sales tax system.
First, consumers in those three provinces will benefit. Removing the provincial retail sales tax from the business inputs, together with a lower 15 per cent rate and reduced compliance costs for businesses will mean lower consumer prices on many goods. Consumers will also know the full price of what they are buying before they get to the cash register because of tax inclusive pricing. At the same time, the rate of sales tax payable will be visible on their receipts.
Second, under the HST, businesses will be dealing with only one set of sales tax forms and operating rules. There will be one tax administration instead of the two sets of everything they do now. Not only will they have reduced compliance costs, but the competitiveness of businesses will be promoted. That is because the HST payable on business inputs will be recoverable, especially for businesses located in the participating provinces.
There will also be lower administrative costs under the HST because overlap and duplication will be eliminated. Of course, the single lower rate of 15 per cent is significantly lower than the rates currently in place in the three participating provinces.
It is important to note that the harmonization in the participating Atlantic provinces will mean a drop in their combined sales tax rates from just under 20 per cent to 15 per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador and from just under 19 per cent to 15 per cent in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
To ensure a smooth transition, the HST base will be the same as the GST base. The rules governing the new system will generally be the same as those for the GST.
Economic benefits will also flow from the removal of tax on business inputs. In addition to eliminating the tax cascading that is inherent in existing provincial retail sales tax systems, the harmonization of sales taxes will minimize distortions in investment decisions.
I refer to businesses being able to recover the tax on business inputs in the new system. Keep in mind that the current provincial retail sales taxes are applied on the price of purchase, including the GST. Since the existing provincial retail sales taxes do not have a mechanism for removing taxes paid on purchases by businesses in the course of producing the goods and services that they sell, these taxes become embedded in the prices that businesses charge for the goods and services they produce.
A key advantage of the HST will be removal of the embedded taxes. This will make the tax payable on goods and services more transparent to consumers. In addition, companies and the participating provinces will be able to price their goods more competitively. This will be particularly advantageous for exported goods which will be completely relieved of tax. Along with promoting the international competitiveness of businesses in the participating provinces by removing tax from exports, steps will be taken to ensure that they and their competitors and non-participating provinces are treated equitably.
The design of the tax will ensure that goods and services sold into a harmonized province from outside the province for consumption or use in the participating province are subject to the same level of tax as goods or services sold within the province.
Registrants across Canada will be required to collect HST on goods or services sold in a participating province or shipped to that province. At the same time they will be eligible for input tax credits for HST paid on inputs into their commercial activities. Under current provincial sales tax rules in both participating and non-participating provinces, consumers are required to pay tax on any taxable purchase consumed in their home province.
If a purchase is made from a business in another province, consumers are required to self-assess the applicable provincial sales tax. The requirement to collect tax on interprovincial sales will ensure the application of a provincial tax is continued under harmonization in an administratively efficient manner.
In order to ensure a consistent and simple approach for businesses required to collect HST on interprovincial sales, a single set of rules will be provided in the Excise Tax Act. The federal government will apply this approach on behalf of any province that adopts a similar system.
As hon. members know, the registrants will be able to recover tax payable at the HST rate of 15 per cent on goods and services to the extent that they are acquired for consumption use or supply in a commercial activity. This will eliminate the tax cascading inherent in existing retail sales taxes in participating provinces.
We know too that the removal of tax on business inputs will enhance the competitive position of businesses operating in those provinces. Similarly, special rebate mechanisms will apply where property or services are acquired in participating provinces and the property is removed, or the services are for use outside these provinces by people who are unable to claim input tax credits.
Let me emphasize that registrants regardless of where they are located will be able to claim input tax credits in respect of tax paid or payable either at the 7 per cent GST rate or 15 per cent HST rate on property and services they acquire or import into Canada as inputs into their commercial activities.
By allowing registrants located in participating or non-participating provinces to claim input tax credits for tax paid or payable regardless of whether it was charged at the 7 per cent GST rate or at the 15 per cent HST rate, the dual objectives of eliminating tax cascading and maintaining competitive equity can be achieved in a way that is both simple and effective.
Businesses engaged in commercial activities anywhere in Canada that purchase goods and services in participating provinces that are taxed at the harmonized rate will be entitled to recover tax payable at the HST rate. Another result is that when reporting tax collected or claiming input tax credits, registrants will not have to separately identify the federal and provincial components of the HST at the 15 per cent rate or tax collected or payable at the 7 per cent GST rate.
Furthermore, most registrants will continue to use the current GST return to calculate net tax remittances. This aspect of harmonization will make a difference between the participating provinces and the remaining non-harmonized provinces.
Let me reiterate that at present in all provinces except Alberta, consumers pay provincial sales tax on all taxable purchases consumed in their home province. If they buy something outside the province they are required to self-assess the provincial tax applicable. Businesses generally apply only the GST on sales to other provinces but they are still required to indicate where PST does not apply, for example by destination. The PST does not apply out side the province.
Under the HST there will be no hidden taxes because of the input tax credits that businesses can claim to recover the tax on goods bought to run their operation and make products. Equity and competitiveness for Atlantic businesses dictate that all goods and services consumed in participating provinces should be subject to the same level of sales tax. This includes goods supplied by businesses in non-participating provinces for final consumption in Atlantic Canada.
Introducing a national measure for collecting tax on interprovincial sales will establish a stable, fair and predictable set of rules for businesses selling into the harmonized provinces. As we know, businesses in the non-participating provinces will have to apply the 15 per cent HST on all sales into a harmonized province.
I should point out here that frequent changes will not be required as other provinces harmonize. This is not a new sales tax on goods and services sold in the participating provinces. Sales tax on interprovincial sales has always been applicable. Many national businesses involved in interprovincial transactions already collect
and remit provincial taxes on a province of destination basis. This new approach merely ensures that sales tax is collected and remitted more efficiently and effectively.
As long as collection of tax on interprovincial sales is based on a single set of rules, collecting the 15 per cent HST will not involve a significant change for these businesses.
Some consumers shop to purchase items free of provincial sales tax in other provinces. While consumers are required to self-assess the applicable provincial sales tax on these purchases, as I mentioned before, this is not the most effective way to ensure that the tax is paid.
With businesses now having to collect and remit the HST when they sell into a participating province, consumers will no longer be able to purchase these goods free of provincial sales tax. Consequently, the same tax savings incentive to buy out of province will no longer exist. This approach is more equitable for businesses and consumers alike. Retailers in participating provinces will no longer be at a disadvantage compared out of province vendors. Both will be required to charge the full rate of tax on their sales.
Collection of tax on interprovincial sales requires two basic elements, a common base and referencing of federal legislation. The national approach to interprovincial sales establishes an efficient and effective system for collection of tax on interprovincial sales which can benefit all provinces by facilitating the collection of the provincial sales tax on all sales into the province.
We already know the HST treatment of interprovincial sales benefiting participating provinces. For example, through additional sales tax revenues and by providing a level playing field for all businesses selling in or into participating provinces.
We know too that there will be no incentive for businesses in any province to avoid paying tax on their inputs as they can claim input tax credits for the full amount of tax paid.
As I said at the beginning, this bill puts into law the first step toward replacing the GST with a truly national sales tax system. Perhaps, when the non-participating provinces see the benefits of harmonization, they too will join in and reap the benefits. After all, the consumers and businesses in those provinces deserve the same breaks as residents in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.
No doubt the HST will be a better sales tax system when it is a national system. But this is a start, an important, valuable start that will truly benefit the economies of the Atlantic provinces. That is why I urge all hon. members to support this bill.
Excise Tax Act

1:45 p.m.
Jean-Marc Jacob Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to participate in this debate on Bill C-70 for various reasons. Several of my colleagues and members of the Reform Party have pointed out that, through this bill, the Liberal Party has completely reneged on an election promise.
I was listening to the hon. member for St. Boniface, who mentioned the added bonuses of the so-called harmonization of the GST. All the hon. members will remember the statements made by the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and even the Minister of Finance to the effect that the GST was an unfair, regressive tax which hurt the economy and, in some respects, encouraged work for cash when the tax is applied to services.
We have realized that, after undertaking to abolish this unfair and intolerable tax, the government is now diverting attention by saying that it has been successfully harmonized and that the Prime Minister's promise to eliminate the tax had been misunderstood.
It will be remembered that, in the late 1970s, the Liberal Party guru, former Prime Minister Trudeau, had taken very similar action regarding the gasoline tax. At the time, when former Prime Minister Joe Clark was briefly in office, Mr. Trudeau described the gasoline tax introduced by the Conservatives as an unacceptable, intolerable and unfair tax that would be abolished as soon as the Liberals were in office.
And we all know that Mr. Trudeau became Prime Minister of Canada and that the gas tax was not abolished. Quite the contrary, it was increased. This bears a strange resemblance to the promises made by Mr. Trudeau's disciple, the current Prime Minister, who said he would abolish the GST because it was unfair, regressive and bad for the economy. Again, the promises made were not fulfilled and the government has now found a roundabout means, the so-called harmonization, which it touts as an outstanding solution.
We will never stress often enough what I would call the inconsistent, farfetched promises made over a period of decades by the Liberal Party, a party that makes all kinds of promises but never fulfils them. Such was the case with the gas tax and such is now the case with the GST.
The government talks about harmonizing the GST but, to my knowledge, the GST is still at 7 per cent, under the agreement reached with the maritime provinces. What was harmonized is the provincial tax, which was lowered in Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In other words, the provincial tax was harmonized, thus reducing the total tax, a loss the federal government will quickly compensate through equalization payments.
But the government also gave these three provinces $961 million in compensation, to help them integrate the GST and implement the so-called harmonization. Strangely enough, Quebec was a harmonization pioneer, as mentioned earlier by a Liberal member, who said that having an harmonized tax was good for trade and exports. Again, one wonders what principles of justice and fairness are used by a government that subsidizes and compensates the
three maritime provinces that agreed to "harmonize" their taxes, while Quebec did the same at its own expense.
I was in the private sector when that process took place and I remember that all the costs, such as the acquisition of software to integrate the GST with the provincial sales tax, were supported by small and medium size businesses in Quebec. As for the provincial government, it trained some of its employees and integrated its computer system so as to achieve harmonization with the GST.
Did Quebec get any compensation? Let me use the words of the Minister of Human Resources Development in reference to culture: "Not a bloody cent". We did not get any compensation from the federal government. Now Quebec is asking to be compensated for having harmonized its tax with the federal GST, but this government is turning a deaf ear so that the province might not get anything.
Meanwhile, the maritimes, where, as the government says, the tax has been harmonized, are being subsidized or compensated to the tune of $961 million.
With such compensation, New Brunswick can now be competitive and attract some Quebec and Ontario businesses, by stressing the fact that taxes will be lower in that province, given the kind of subsidy granted by the federal government, through the compensation paid to maritime provinces.
This is a rather curious system when you look at it: the federal government provides a kind of competitive tool to three provinces by harmonizing its tax, to the point that it becomes unfair, since these provinces will benefit from such a substantial subsidy or compensation. How then can we believe that the Canadian federation, with bills such as this one-

Chinese New Year
Statements By Members

Anna Terrana Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week the Chinese community celebrated Chinese New Year. In fact, the celebration was enjoyed by all communities under the leadership of those Canadians who emigrated from the countries where Chinese New Year is observed.
In my riding of Vancouver East the Chinese Cultural Centre, the Chinatown Merchants' Association, the Chinese Benevolent Association and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. organized several events in which a large number of people participated. It was a real celebration with a very successful parade with lions and dragons, drums and fireworks in a glory of colours and folklore. All devils were scared away.
One of the groups in my community we are very proud of is the Strathcona Chinese Dance Company. It was invited to Ottawa by the National Capital Commission to inaugurate Winterlude. Thirteen young people came under the leadership of Annabel Ho, while in Vancouver the remaining 70 young dancers performed under the leadership of Mimie Ho.
I would like to congratulate the whole Chinese Canadian community for its contribution to Canada and for sharing its traditions with all other Canadians.
Kung hei fat choy. Happy New Year of the Ox.

Bill Gilmour Comox—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect a fair and responsive justice system. Yet for the past three years the apparent lack of justice in the Patrick Kelly case brings to light serious problems within our justice system.
Kelly, a former RCMP officer, was convicted of murder when his wife fell to her death from their 17th floor balcony. The police investigation into the Patrick Kelly case is being conducted by the same police force and the same homicide squad that has been accused of wrongdoing in the original investigation.
How can Mr. Kelly have an independent review when Ed Stewart, the primary officer in the original investigation, is staff officer with the police department reinvestigating the case? Ed Stewart apparently lost the tape recording that would verify or refute many of the allegations made by the key witness who later recanted her statements. This brings into question any impartiality in the investigation.
In the name of justice, the Minister of Justice must arrange for an independent body to conduct the Kelly investigation.
Small Business
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Gilles Bernier Beauce, QC
Mr. Speaker, SMBs are the biggest employers in almost all communities in Canada, accounting for over half of all this country's jobs in the private sector.
When it comes to job creation, SMBs are responsible for 80 per cent of all net new employment. In addition, SMBs generate over one quarter of all sales, one third of all profits, one fifth of all goods, and approximately 40 per cent of the GDP.
Unfortunately, SMBs are spending too much time, money and energy complying with government requirements. The smaller a business, the higher its basic costs.
With the largest concentration of SMBs in Canada, the Beauce region is in a position to comment. I urge the government to do something to reduce the paper burden so that our SMBs can spend more time doing what they were intended to do, which is to produce goods and service effectively and not to waste time on often pointless paperwork.
One Hundredth Birthday Of Sister Sainte-Hermine

Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, today the Communauté des filles de Jésus in Rimouski is celebrating the 100th birthday of Sister Marie-Anne Chenel, also known to many as Sister Sainte-Hermine. I would like to add my congratulations to those of her religious family and her relatives.
Over the years, Sister Chenel has followed her chosen path with conviction. She lovingly took up duties as the teacher of young children and, through her presence and involvement, built up lasting ties within her community.
I wish Sister Sainte-Hermine serenity on her journey. May she continue to be, for a good many of us, an example of perseverance and hope.
Organ Donations

Stan Dromisky Thunder Bay—Atikokan, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform the House of the fantastic work being conducted at the Thunder Bay Regional Hospital's McKellar site.
A Thunder Bay medical specialist, Dr. William McCready, indicated that McKellar is the top hospital in Canada for organ donation. In 1996 nine multi-organ donors were brought to McKellar. Transplant teams have retrieved healthy hearts, kidneys, livers and lungs for use in patients throughout Canada whose diseased organs put them in a life or death situation.
The transplant process is facilitated when Canadians sign a donor card and when their relatives or next of kin have given permission for organs to be removed for transplanting. I urge all Canadians to complete donor cards. This humanitarian act has the potential to give the precious gift of life to someone in need.

Ted McWhinney Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, the domestic law and administration of Great Britain have created a serious disadvantage for 130,000 Canadian citizens of British origin now living in Canada who are entitled to vested pensions from the British government. These British-Canadians do not enjoy the same benefits as British immigrants to the United States and other countries whose British pensions are indexed against inflation.
We ask the Canadian government to continue its diplomatic efforts to persuade the Government of Great Britain to bring its treatment of British-Canadian pensioners in line with similar pensioners in the United States and other countries.
Crime Prevention
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jean Augustine Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am encouraged as I speak to constituents in my riding that crime prevention and our commitment to a partnership with law enforcement, community groups and citizens for safe homes and safe streets is working.
In 1994 our government established the National Crime Prevention Council. Active community involvement is growing.
Last month Mr. Fred Roberts, one of my constituents, witnessed a robbery and assault of a senior by a group of teenagers. Mr. Roberts did not think twice about rushing to aid his neighbour. Later he apprehended a perpetrator and persuaded him to turn himself in to the police.
The Etobicoke Crime Prevention Association is also central in working with Youth Service Canada and the Department of Justice to create prevention programs.
All this proves that citizens, communities and governments can work together to prevent crimes and to produce safer streets.

Grain Transportation
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Lee Morrison Swift Current—Maple Creek—Assiniboia, SK
Mr. Speaker, prairie elevators are bulging with grain. Meanwhile dozens of ships are waiting to load in Vancouver and massive demurrage charges to western farmers are accumulating.
The two major railways have chosen this inopportune time to suspend service for at least three weeks on hundreds of kilometres of lines in western Canada. Outstanding car allocations have been cancelled and producers have been hung out to dry.
As usual, the interests of western grain farmers are being ignored. However with a transport minister from Victoria and a minister of agriculture apparently from some other planet, this is hardly surprising.
Tobacco Legislation
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Svend Robinson Burnaby—Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is under tremendous pressure from tobacco manufacturers to weaken and delay Bill C-71, the tobacco legislation. New Democrats urge the government to move ahead with the bill, which already represents a compromise, with no more concessions and no more delays.
It is ironic that the tobacco industry is seeking to make deals around sponsorship such as allowing international events. At the same time other governments, including the U.S., Belgium and France, are moving to a total ban on all tobacco sponsorship of arts and sports.
The government should ensure that the funds lost to cultural and sports groups are restored and strengthened from other government revenues. The government must not be bullied by the high pressure propaganda from the tobacco companies, companies that have already a very cosy relationship with the Liberal Party.
Canadians can have both a rich and varied cultural and sporting life and protect the health of our children and our own health from the destructive impact of tobacco.
No more concessions and no more delays. Move ahead with Bill C-71.

This is a great source of fibre. I don't take enough fibre from vegetables and fruits daily so it really helps to pro mote regularity in the bowel movements. I take 4 per meal. The fibre also helps to slow blood sugar spike if there are a lot of simple carbohydrates eaten. The caps are gelatin (not for vegan), not big and easy to swallow. The same company also has a vegan caps version for slightly more if gelatin is an issue. The price is very cheap even if I take 8 capsules daily. Note that you will need to drink a lot of water for the fibre to work well. Soups work well imo. Check out my page for more reviews!

8PM at Roulette
20 Greene Street (between Canal and Grand)
Daan Vandewalle brings a keen awareness of architecture and an incisive touch that enables him to express episodes of delicacy, buoyancy, lyrical flow, hard-edged abstraction, dancelike movement, and spirituality., Art Lange, Fanfare
The 21st Season of Thomas Buckner's innovative series of new music continues on October 15, 2009, with dynamic Belgian pianist Daan Vandewalle performing selections from his recent recording of piano works by pioneering composer Gordon Mumma dating from 1960-2001. Also featured are works by American Composer Alvin Curran, and a handful of contemporary works by Belgian composers, including leading postwar Belgian composer Karel Goeyvaerts (1923-1993), emerging Flemish composer Thomas Smetryns, the extremely prolific and unusual composer Boudewijn Buckinx.
Unsentimental nostalgia, capacious in feeling but iron-beamed, imbued equally with a sense of wonder and of hard curiosity.,Brian Olewnick, The Squid's Ear
Daan Vandewalle enjoys an international reputation as new music specialist,with a strong focus on 20th and 21th century american piano music. He studied at the Conservatory of Ghent, Belgium, with Claude Coppens, and at Mills College, California, with Alvin Curran. His programs are often highly unusual both on a technical or intellectual level, often combining the classical repertoire such as Mussorgski and Chopin with premieres of new works written especially for him by composers including Fred Frith, Alvin Curran, and Fredrick Rzewski.

Fiscal Cliff Be Damned: A Card-Carrying Bull for 2013
Ever since the Fiscal Cliff came into focus during the latter half of 2012, this old chestnut seems to have been perverted into something more like buy on rumor and sell on rumor too. The news part, or facts, seems to have gotten left out of the equation.
Fiscal cliff be damned. I'm a card-carrying bull for 2013. In fact, for the balance of the year, I'm ignoring all "Fiscal Cliff" news and headlines. This isn't just a declaration of independence from the fourth estate. Since I actually run money for the GMG Defensive Beta Fund, it's an actionable strategy.
Here's what's behind going long on equities heading into 2013.
New home construction. Privately owned housing starts in October were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 894,000. This is 3.6% above the revised September estimate of 863,000 and is 41.9% above the October 2011 rate of 630,000.
We're so focused on housing leading the rest of the economy into the mire that we forget that it can lead the economy to new heights as well. New housing works backward into everything from utilities to durable goods to services.
The outlook remains promising. Building permits in October were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 866,000, below the September rate of 890,000, but 29.8% above the October 2011 estimate of 667,000 building permits issued.
China. The reports out of the east with China's economy showing deceleration were chilling to the markets during 2012. To me, the whole notion that it has "slowed" to something like 7.5% GDP growth is silly: 7.5% is an awfully big number. If the U.S. economy was growing at this rate, "Helicopter Ben" Bernanke and the rest of the Federal Reserve would be looking for ways to slam the brakes on the economy.
There's something else going on in China that comes to me from Howard Balloch, head of Canaccord Asia, which is the Asian arm of global investment bank Canaccord Genuity.
Balloch is the former ambassador to China for Canada, and has been on the ground there for 20 years. As he said in an October speech to institutional investors: "If you think of China as a $7.3 trillion economy right now, domestic consumption represents over $3 trillion in economic activity, roughly the size of the entire German economy . . . As if by stealth, China has slowly but substantially begun to rebalance its economy away from exports and fixed asset investment. The restructuring of the Chinese economy so many have been clamoring for is well underway."

Meeting Locator found on this site. This website will soon be adding information to help user find Rehab and Treatment centers in there cities and towns. We know this can be expensive so we will be trying our best to break it down for users so they will be able to see which Rehab and Treatment centers accept insurance, an which Rehab and Treatment centers do no accept insurance. Not to many people want to go to
their first AA meeting. In
most cases this plan fact is
an occasion of dread,
extreme shame, and despair.
Most persons going to a
Alcoholics Anonymous meeting
for the first time are
usually doing so
reluctantly, because they
promised someone, or
directed to attend by a
judge, an employer, a loved
one or a treatment program.
Nobody wishes to require the
help that is provided by AA,
as a result of this
virtually everyone attending
their first meeting wishes
that they were someplace
else. (I sure did) It takes
courage to walk into an AA
meeting for the first time.
Most real alcoholics simply
lack the courage to make
that first step under any
circumstances. They usually
hide their fear often
cynical remarks about AA
meetings and the people who
do have the courage to
attend Alcoholics Anonymous
meetings. If no friend or
acquaintance who happens to
be an AA member is
available, contact can
always be using the number
provided here
(760) 324-4880 this is the
current number to contact
someone in Blythe, California

Extended maintenance of Ruby versions 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 ended on July 31, 2014. Read more
This is a kind of 'flag' module. If you want to write your own 'ri' display module (perhaps because you'r writing an IDE or somesuch beast), you simply write a class which implements the various 'display' methods in 'DefaultDisplay', and include the 'RiDisplay' module in that class.
To access your class from the command line, you can do
ruby -r <your source file> ../ri ....
If folks really want to do this from the command line, I'll build an option in
# File rdoc/ri/ri_display.rb, line 22 def RiDisplay.append_features(display_class) @@display_class = display_class end
Commenting is here to help enhance the documentation. For example, code samples, or clarification of the documentation.
If you have questions about Ruby or the documentation, please post to one of the Ruby mailing lists. You will get better, faster, help that way.
If you wish to post a correction of the docs, please do so, but also file bug report so that it can be corrected for the next release. Thank you.

text: Considering having a LB6 pick-up and end pin pre-amp installed on my Martin 000-28EC. I don't intend on playing out per se...it would be used primarily for personal use, or possibly the occasional coffee-shop type setting. I'm assuming I can go direct into the amp with this set-up without the need for an additional pre-amp? I also like the "M1" pick-ups, but for strictly cosmetic reasons would prefer something concealed. Any opinions on this set-up for my intended use would be appreciated...thanks in advance.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (148 votes).
In short: Weather definitely added an extra dimension. That said it was still good fun and marshalling/organisation put some larger events to shame. Date of review: November 2, 2009
In short: A good well supported eventIn full: The weather added a little more to the challenge of this excellent run. Always well supported, well organised and well marshelled. The course starts with some small up hills, then drops for a faster middle section, then a final uphill finish.The prize varies every year and I quite like the mug, as I have my hot tea I will remember the wet and windy conditions!I'll be back again next year. Date of review: November 2, 2009
In short: The weather forecast said it was going to be mild.In full: The photos from the event says it all. The gale force winds between 7-8km, the torrential rain, standing water on the roads and wet leaves everywhere. I loved it. I am not so sure the runners who were led out to the start line 10 minutes before the front runners loved it as much. I heard nobody complaining about the conditions - mind you all I could hear was teeth chattering and the rain bucketing down.A special thank you and well done to the Billericay marshalls around the course for all their support and encouragement. I look forward to next year!Date of review: November 2, 2009
In short: Marshalling this race is funIn full: OK so i didn't run today, but i did marshal at 2k and at 150m from the end. Thanks for all the smiles and for turning up today and making standing in the wind and rain a real pleasure. See you all next year - we have have ordered tropical weather with sunshine and blue skies, no wind. OK so it will probably rain and be windy, but that makes it all the better. Doesn't it??? Yes i hear you cry!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: 2009 Just Very Wet and WindyIn full: Poured nearly the whole way and between 7k-8k, running uphill into gale force wind and rain was an experience. So shame about the weather.Despite all of the above marshalling was excellent and first time for a mug as a prize. Looking forward to 2010 already. Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Wet and windyIn full: Very well organised - an army of marshals. Well done Billericay Striders and thank you very much. It is just a shame the weather was not better.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Between 7-8k wow what any experience must of been the slowest run of the whole day winds and rain in your face. Love it!!!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: WET,WET,WET!!!In full: If only for the rain and the wind.Soaking wet and very little chance of running a fast time.Course is challenging. First 2k is uphill which can play on the legs.Nice course, well organised, well marshalled and well supported too. A long time since getting a mug for finishing. Look forward to next year, hopefully the weather will be better.Date of review: November 1, 2009

Skip to comments.More and More, Favored Psychotherapy Lets Bygones Be Bygones
Posted on 02/16/2006 10:26:39 PM PST by neverdem
For most of the 20th century, therapists in America agreed on a single truth. To cure patients, it was necessary to explore and talk through the origins of their problems. In other words, they had to come to terms with the past to move forward in the present.
Thousands of hours and countless dollars were spent in this pursuit. Therapists listened diligently as their patients recounted elaborate narratives of family dysfunction the alcoholic father, the mother too absorbed in her own unhappiness to attend to her children's needs certain that this process would ultimately produce relief.
But returning to the past has fallen out of fashion among mental health professionals over the last 15 years. Research has convinced many therapists that understanding the past is not required for healing.
Despite this profound change, the cliché of patients' exhaustively revisiting childhood horror stories remains.
"Average consumers who walk into psychotherapy expect to be discussing their childhood and blaming their parents for contemporary problems, but that's just not true any more," said John C. Norcross, a psychology professor at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania.
Professor Norcross has surveyed American psychologists in an effort to figure out what is going on behind their closed doors.
Over the last 20 years, he has documented a radical shift. Psychotherapeutic techniques like psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy, which deal with emotional conflict and are based on the idea that the exploration of past trauma is critical to healing, have been totally eclipsed by cognitive behavioral approaches.
That relatively new school holds that reviewing the past is not only unnecessary to healing, but can be counterproductive.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
"Whatever, do as thou will."
I couldn't agree more and have held this opinion for many, many years. In fact, as the article says it can be counterproductive.
"That relatively new school holds that reviewing the past is not only unnecessary to healing, but can be counterproductive."
Darn it!
No wonder I'm in such a mess. I've been listening to my shrink and trying to make amends with my past.
Can I sue the nimconpoops?
I recall Michael Reagan once told Sean Hannity of his sexual abuse by a neighbor. Sean came back brazenly, "You didn't let it keep you down - that's great!"
The segment ran out of time, but Michael sort of shook his head saying "You just don't get it..."
What is this sick world where scars and grudges don't exist? It's a place where good and evil are treated equally. That's the essence of today's liberalism.
Put some ice on it...
Juanita Broderick... certainly.
"What is this sick world where scars and grudges don't exist? It's a place where good and evil are treated equally. That's the essence of today's liberalism."
I couldn't link to the full article but I think the thinking is that you can treat a scar or grudge without necessarily revisiting exactly how it came about. This would seem especially important where the trauma might recur. Seems I can remember Maxwell Maltz indicating that the brain does not recognize the difference between an actual experience and the memory of the experience so that remembering the experience is every bit as traumatic as the original event, now doubled in the mind. I don't see it as an attempt to pretend there aren't scars and grudges so much as saying reliving the details isn't always necessary to the healing. Just my opinion.
I've seen cases where someone had something admittedly horrible happen to them, but everyone went on and on about how AWFUL it was, poor dear, and you MUST talk about it, and DEAL with it, when in fact it might have been better for the victim to just get on with his or her life and not dramatize for others.
It's the parents, peers, spouses or others who sometimes seem to be demanding this kind of endless perusal of past horrors. I know this is not a popular position, but sometimes it IS better to get on with life. Kids often do not know how close they came to something tragic happening to them, and of course the perpetrator must be punished. But this isn't about that--it's about how a victim gets over being victimized, and often the answer is NOT to tell someone "You don't know how bad it was!"
I'm reminded of stories which have appeared on FR from college women who went on dates that didn't pan out, and after a few days of having their feminist pals telling them "You were date raped and didn't know it!" they suddenly press charges. I am NOT saying such things don't happen, I am saying they don't ALWAYS happen.
Similarly, a kid who's had to suffer certain instances of abuse (I have personal experience with just this kind of thing) SOMETIMES--I emphasis sometimes--is not traumatized. The criminal scum needs to be shipped off to jail, but sometimes the kid was unaware of what happened, or almost happened. Putting her or him in years of therapy often exacerbates the problem.
This isn't about hard-and-fast rules, but sometimes living in the past, particularly a frightening or painful one, is not conducive to good mental health. It depends on the situation. Too often we are in this "Get in touch with the thing you're hiding in your past" crap which leads to years of guilt and shame for the victim, when what they really need is to accept what happened but move on and live in the present, not endlessly chew over the past. Millions of lives have been spoiled by this misguided process, and it's refreshing to see that people are starting to come around and, when applicable, say "It happened, it's over, I'm fine, I'm gonna move on and not live like this thing done to me is the defining event of my life."
Talking about bad things that happend to me only pisses me off all over again. You relive the crap when you talk about it.
Agreed. If there were a point to it, if it were solving some problem, I would recommend it. But when all it does is force people to dwell in the bad spots of life (which we've all had to one degree or another), what is the point?
Your post no. 10 was excellent and spot-on.
Thanks. Your posts on the Boyington thread likewise.

I came across something similar describing the useless or counterproductive results of psychotherapeutic efforts for survivors of mass tragedies, e.g. school shootings and the World Trade Center, because they assume everybody must have the same reaction and either responds positively or at least appreciates their psychotherapeutic efforts.
To set a broken leg you have to set in back in place
and not pleasant.
Aaron Beck's thinking is, setting it would cause pain
so learn to walk a new way on the broken leg.
There are many personality disorders and developmental disorders that take various schools of psychiatry and
years of work.
Aaron Beck and the school of denial would leave us with
a far worse world than we have now.
People are often ashamed that they're not having the same reactions everyone else is having, like there's a normal way to respond to death, accident, tragedy. That's what TV does--people are suspicious if they don't cry enough at someone's funeral, for example.
We're all different, and we have different reactions, so we shouldn't be treated psychiatrically as if every bad thing that happens has the same precise effect on everyone. I know a Vietnam vet, now deceased, who wasn't disturbed in the least when a cop harassed him because he was involved with the police in his hometown and he let that stuff slide; I saw a Vietnam vet having to be pulled off another cop merely because the cop asked him to step outside of a homeless shelter. That's merely an illustration, but it's a pretty good one about how people have wildly different reactions. And one thing that needs to be said is that something you and I might agree is horrible sometimes, not always, is something someone else can deal with very easily, or at least deal with it better than someone else might.
Yeah, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder isn't usually contended with by psychotherapy. People suffering reactive emotional problems to past traumatic events such as the ones you describe (including wars and other violent crimes and such) don't usually respond to a psychoanalytical approach but best to behavioral therapy.
I agree...
A well adjusted person who experiences a sudden trauma and is thereby traumatized by that in ongoing life afterward isn't in need of the same care or treatment as is someone who is raised in a bad environment by abuse parent/s, or who is otherwise maladjusted from development years onward.
There are different types of problems of the mind and spirit...and thus, different approaches to treating those different problems.
I agree that it's not advisable to encourage not confronting past events, but each individual has to be evaluated is the point and a blanket methodology change of just closing the books on past events is not a good idea. It's only contributing to further problems, in my view. It also encourages gross generalities about the self that fits best into liberal ideology.
Albert Ellis has been advocating this approach for over 50 years.
I'm a fan of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which basically involves teaching a person to challenge their negative thought patterns with realistic positive ones, and change their negative-reinforcing behavior.
However, I really don't think it is the answer for everyone or even most. Psychoanalysis definitely has its problems and maybe it should be scrapped, but ignoring the past is not always a good idea. Sometimes patterns show up in the past that can really help a person to understand why they are having problems and thus change it permanently. Also, sometimes events or people from the past have to be dealt with in some way.
Thousands? Make that millions. Psychology is almost completely baseless. Freudianism was invented out of whole cloth. Jung was an occultist. And Behaviorism tells you that people avoid things that hurt them. Psychology vies with modern art as the longest running hoax in history.
Moreover, research is demonstrating that "lay therapists" have a better success rate with their patients than psychologists. Get a good spiritual advisor or talk to a good friend. Better yet, obey the Commandments, and you'll sleep well.
About 20 years ago somebody did a study of Holocaust survivors. They found that the folks who put it behind them and went on to other things were in better shape physically and mentally than the ones who dwelt on it constantly. That's not to denigrate those like Elie Wiesel who made it their life's work to track down the perpetrators . . . but one pays an emotional and physical price for immersing oneself in horrors.
Or, as a character in a novel once said, these things don't grow into monsters if they're kept in the dark instead of being constantly brought out and fertilized with tears.
That's because almost NONE of the therapists have ever done it anywhere near thoroughly enough. They've almost always kept it in the strictly-cerebral analysis mode so what do you expect? It NEVER releases the old pent-up emotions for good as deep-feeling abreactive catharsis does, but deep-feeling abreactive catharsis (really immersed in re-living the crucial past incidents AND FULLY responding verbally and EMOTIONALLY as you DIDN'T back then) is almost never even taught or tried by psychologists or professors of psychology. The few successful psychologists I've known who really help you get down to the nitty-gritty and actually get rid of past pain instead of painting it over are those whose eclectic methods combine those of Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls, Arthur Janov and especially, Joseph Hart, in my considered (and experienced) opinion.
