A child opens a rainbow coloured umbrella outside Cork City Library last Saturday. Rain threatened most of the day so it was a good idea to have an umbrella with you, just in case.
Phil is blogging the photos he took, and posted about his trip to Cork too.

Thomas, a young boy in his buggy on Patrick's Day this year. He's well wrapped up against the cold.
I have no idea who he is, so hopefully his name is Thomas, and that's not some famous brand I'm not aware of.
This little girl was playing in the sand on the beach as we walked past. Plenty of toys about, but I don't think she had built a sand castle yet. It's lovely to see children playing in the sand. It's an age of innocence and (sometimes) simple joy that we forget as adults.
A few weeks before Adam was born we went down to Garrettstown Beach in Co. Cork. The sun was shining, it was warm and the beach had a good number of people on it. Beautiful day!
It's strange how you can be stuck in your own little world and not be aware of anything around you.
All around this boy were couples, either hand in hand, walking together or even framing him in the middle of the image, but I'm struck by his solitary movement through the street. He look lost in thought.
Link love:
His and hers bikes locked up against a pole in Daunt Square, Cork last February. Looking at this with fresh eyes, I was lucky to catch the people behind the bikes without at least one of them standing behind the pole!
I love the expressions of the two girls closest to the bikes. I wonder if they're sisters?
I have to get out and take more street shots soon. I can't remember the last time I "shot from the hip" and Cork City needs recording!
Link love: Thailand: What's love got to do with it?, Spring Lamb (Thanks Markr), Great blogs of our time, Part One (thanks for the link Niall!), A Collection of Inconvenient Facts, When Your Agent is Not Your Friend – read if you sell to a microstock site, My Top Five Wedding Photography Tips For Point-And-Shoot Digital Users, Crop This! (via), Trash the dress (via)
A girl looked up at me from her buggy as I took her photo with the wide angle lens of my camera. This was taken just after the St. Patrick's Day Parade this year and the place was black with people, especially outside the The Larry Tompkins pub so no wonder she was a little upset. Mum can be seen in the background, looks like they're going home.
Today is the calm before the storm. I woke up to quiet. Oscar is with my family, Jacinta and Adam are still in the hospital. Tomorrow, everyone comes home probably, although Jacinta could do with an extra day.
Thank you to everyone who commented yesterday (and here too!) I'm bringing my laptop into the CUMH this afternoon to share with Jacinta all the good will and wishes left by you and everyone else!
PS. Good luck to Donal and Celine who are off to Lesotho today for 10 days. They have a long jounrey ahead of them but I know they're going to do some great work out there, the money they've raised will be well spent and I'm looking forward to the photos!
A mother drags her reluctant offspring up the main street in Killarney in early February. She was in a hurry but he didn't want to be rushed.
Mom won the battle!
PS. today is Daffodil Day, I've made a theme header you can use on your blog if you want to spread the word about cancer research and the importance of their fund raising events.
A child looking out the back window of a bus.
Weird colours and look due to some experimenting with new plugins. Way overblown I know but I gotta have some fun sometimes!

Oban was born and raised in San Francisco, California but spent significant portions of his childhood in Northern New Mexico. He's an accomplished Web Programmer, Database Engineer and Systems Administrator. He's been the led Systems Administrator for ISP's, programmed for startups during the dot com heyday, built the back end of many enterprise level web sites, and lead teams of programmers and systems administrators through completion of countless successful projects. He now manages the Brownrice Internet staff, keeps the network humming, and chases his wife and twin boys around during his time off.
Vanessa Moon started at Dell Computer in 1988 and was intricately involved in what was at the time Dell's largest single sale in its history: the State of Texas, Department of Human Services. Her successful career with Dell was interrupted by love for an artist in Taos, New Mexico, whom she married in 1994 and left Austin and Dell. Vanessa worked as Technical Support Manager for a software company that specialized in Ticketing, Point-of-Sale and Guest Management solutions for Ski Resorts, Park & Attractions and Museums & Non-profits (supporting FoxPro and SQL). She now is the Project Manager for Brownrice Internet and loving every minute of it. At Brownrice, when not managing everyone's tasks and deadlines, she pitches in and helps with support calls and testing.
Dave wasn't a computer expert at age ten. In those days computers were the size of a house and run by the military, so his parents couldn't afford one. Also, the punchcard reader was too noisy. Instead, he studied hard at electrical engineering thinking that one day he'd get a job working on thermionic valves and magnetic core drives that were at the heart of computer technology at that time. Those days are long past and technology has moved on but at Brownrice there is still one vestige of the ancient computer arts which he is still able to draw upon on a daily basis: an arcane knowledge of the Unix operating system.
Joel, a Native New Mexican, began programming games at a young age. By sixteen, he was working as technical support and computer repair technician for an ISP. He attended college at Texas Tech University where he majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. At nineteen, he began programming professionally in Java and was assigned to help in the re-design and re-implementation of the largest commodities trading website of that time (xpresstrade.com). He now continues his programming career at Brownrice Internet where he works with other talented individuals to build high quality applications.

Alcohol-free wine is another possibility. Here's one that is widely available and not bad at all:
Fre Brut, Sparkling, Alcohol-removed wine, NV. About $7 a bottle.
From Sutter Home, this is a surprisingly pleasant bottle of no-buzz bubbles. The flavors are delicate — apple and pear come to mind — and the aftertaste is clean and dry.
If you've got a mixologist in the house, here's a recipe that's cause for sober celebration. It's adapted from the Fre website, where you'll find a video of how to make this drink, as well as other mocktails.
Put a little simple syrup in one saucer and some sugar in another. Dip rim of champagne flute into the syrup and then into the sugar. Set glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine simple syrup, lemon juice and pomegranate juice. Shake and strain carefully into rimmed glass.
Top with alcohol-free bubbly.

Thank you!
Design your own lifestyle
I am a writer and designer from Australia. Hearsay came into being five years ago as an elaborate plan to avoid getting a 'real' job. Little did I know how hard and thrilling it was to build a business.
As a handmade jewellery business, Hearsay reached its height in 2013 with the Life Instyle trade show and a shift towards wholesale.
I 2014 I enrolled in a Masters Degree in Literature and Writing and Hearsay took a back seat.
Now, like a phoenix from the ashes, Hearsay is rising again.
I always intended for Hearsay to grow beyond jewellery, into a lifestyle brand that reflected my passions; creativity, storytelling and individuality.
Hearsay still offers the unique rope jewellery that started it all, but also a range of printable wall art, rope baskets, and organisational PDFs tailored to other creatives and small business owners.

Your Everyday VampireMature
Even though Jason was new, he had no problem butting into other people's business. His favorite is when no one knew what he was talking about except the person he was annoying. Toro and Amora seemed to be the best people to annoy. He liked the comment, 'Toro, are you aware that you smell like a wet dog?' which always seemed to make him angry. At this time is the point where almost no one liked him.
One day he walked into the clearing that just never seemed to be empty. He sat down at 'his' tree and watched everyone, making up his own comments every once in a while. Right when he was about as bored as he could get, a woman walked into the clearing. She had black hair, green eyes, and was all around, very beautiful. For some unknown reason she sat by Jason.
"So, what are we talking about?" she asked him.
"Something about this little werewolf girl who seems to afraid of me."
She giggled, "That's interesting."
"Yeah, I guess. Though, it makes me wonder if I need to shower or something."
She laughed again. "My name is Esmerelda."
"Mine is Jason," he said hoping he could pronounce that right. Up close he could see her fangs and figure out she was a vampire.
So, he finally found someone that he could make dumb little comments with through the whole conversation he was never in.
The rest of the day he stayed with her. In his mind, today was a good day, well at least until some guy showed up and tried to kill her. She ended up killing him and the rest of the day was wonderful, so he really couldn't complain.

Speaking from experience from a Simple Stories user...I'd start buying and stocking up now! They are a relatively new company and just a few months ago they already started discontinuing some of their first lines they introduced--including the one that I need to replicate an album I made for myself so I have one to give to my Dad. I've been lucky and can still find most of what I need (from the 100 Days of Summer line), but there are a few sheets that I can't find any extras of.
But in regards to lines/companies in general, even if a company doesn't discontinue a line some stores don't reorder all or parts of a line because there's always something new and wonderful coming out that they need to make room (and inventory $$) for.
So really, if you know you like it and will need it, I say get what you can while you still can.

Bhatia to Bravo, SIX, oh Bhatia, after all those legcutters, a low full toss results, and Bravo sends it just over the long on boundary with a powerful wallop, Chennai are alive in this IPL, they rush out to Bravo, Michael Hussey looks relieved, Gautam Gambhir stares hard in disbelief, Bhatia had nine to defend off the final over, he nearly did it
That is it from us for this game. Apologies again for the scoring error earlier.
Michael Hussey is the Man of the Match. Hussey: "It shows that on this sort of pitch, the first six overs are crucial. It was hard to hit boundaries once the ball got older, we wanted to match the start KKR got."
Dhoni: "Games like this are difficult, we were cruising till the 11th over. We saw what happened to their innings, we should have learned from those mistakes, had it not been for Bravo's last-ball six, we would have lost. We said we should not be looking to play with six bowlers in this game, if needed, Raina and Faf can bowl a a bit. Spin is our strength."
Gambhir: "Narine and Rajat got us back. Now I can say maybe another spinner would have helped, but you go into the game thinking that the attack you choose can do the job you do."
MS Dhoni might not have been among the runs this IPL season, but it is his three brutal boundaries off Marchant de Lange in the 19th over that have kept Chennai's season going
Prashant: "Mr. Dhoni, my heart can't stand any more last ball victories. Please don't ever do this again."
Aravind: "If you want grey hair in no time, start supporting CSK!"
End of over 20 (10 runs) Chennai Super Kings 160/5
- DJ Bravo 11 (7b 1x6)
- RA Jadeja 3 (2b)
- R Bhatia 4-0-33-2
- M de Lange 3-0-37-0

Softball Pitchers have developed a unique technique, different from baseball or cricket.The speed and power transferred into the softball in the upper body is derived from the flexors and to lesser degree internal rotators of the elbow. While this is far from the major component of the pitch, (lower body initiated mass transfer plays a large role), having optimum flexibility in the shoulder allows for stronger, faster and safer delivery. Trainers often use the same stretching techniques for softball, as they do for baseball and other throwing sports. However a javelin throw would resemble a baseball pitching, much more closely than does softball. While flexibility of shoulder extensors such as Lattissimus Dorsi, Teres Major, Sternal Pectoralis Major is important, shoulder flexors flexibility takes over as the primary concern. Another unique demand of the throw is the strength in hyper extension, which allows the flexors of the shoulders to be loaded into the spring. That strength comes primarily from the posterior deltoid, in combination with triceps, assisted by pectoralis minor. We take care to develop the correct strength application in the proper range. Unlike standard stretches, which if held long enough for flexibility effect, slow down the muscle, kinesiological stretches do totally opposite. Muscles are stretched without the pain of the stretch reflex, while actually adding speed and strength of contraction to muscle fibers.

Letter To A Wandering Soul,
When doubt crosses paths with friendship, it's one of the worst confusions anyone can feel. I've always been the one to think practical within my friends, spot what they're missing. But now I feel like a fool. I don't know who to believe, to go along with what my heart says or my brain's thoughts.
I don't want to be meddled with, played around with anymore...not again. And if all Taylor's said to me till now is some sort of drama...I really don't know what I'll do about it. But trust...trust keeps apparating in front of doubt. It keeps coming back and summoning the Patronus to ward of the dark cloacked demons of speculation.
But at the same time...the Patronus gets tired. She can't hold back all those gaunting thoughts that flow around her and confuse her. She's weak, and she gets weaker when she starts believing those thoughts.
Doubt, trust, and friendship. There's a lot more to it then anyone can imagine. You don't want to doubt your bestfriend because you trust them so much, but when so many things they have done and said have led you to this fate, what exactly can you do to shake it off?
Your past haunts you, getting fixed upon your sticky web of thoughts. You don't want to feel all those emotions again. That had hurt and scarred you, made you vulnerable. But yet, you continue to trust your friends, believing they won't betray you.
Where will it take you?
Or more specifically..
Where will it take me?
Your soul-searching spirit.

Every time Everton leave Gerard Deulofeu on the bench, his contract decrees that the money they have to pay Barcelona for his season-long loan rises. Saturday's derby against Liverpool might be the day Roberto Martinez decides to save the club some cash and give the 19-year-old winger his first league start.
Deulofeu was involved in five of Spain Under-21s' six goals on Friday against Bosnia and scored again on Monday in Albania. Those underwhelmed by his arrival at Goodison Park will point out the world of difference between under-21 football and a Merseyside derby but, after two goalless draws for Everton, Martinez is considering his options.
Character will not come into it. This is a player who was once disciplined at Barcelona because he told rival youth players as he left the field after being substituted: "Pass by the dressing room afterwards and I'll give you an autograph." Deulofeu had given them the runaround and they had tried to give him a kicking. He called his opponents afterwards to say sorry.
He is not at Everton to overcome big-game nerves. Deulofeu signed for Barcelona aged nine, had his first Nike contract aged 12 and made his Nou Camp debut at 17. But it will be a test of how much he has learnt under Martinez. He is at Everton to improve the defensive side of his game, his positioning without the ball and his decision-making. There is a place waiting for him at Barcelona, if not next season then the season after on the right of a front three that will include Neymar and the man who picks up the Golden Boot award in Barcelona today, Lionel Messi. Not for nothing did Barça give Deulofeu a new five-year contract last May with a €35m (£29m) buy-out clause.
The player has made the right noises: "There are a lot of very experienced players and Roberto Martinez is introducing me gradually," he says. "I know that I'm not Leo Messi." His former youth-team coach Oscar Garcia used to make him watch videos of Messi so he could copy his defensive movements when he didn't have the ball.
Deulofeu is a lot more like Cristiano Ronaldo than Messi. Not the current, complete version but the work-in-progress teenager who first turned up at Old Trafford a decade ago – the same explosive pace from a standing start, the same quick feet and powerful shot. His goal against Albania was a perfect example, racing down the right before rifling a shot into the roof of the net. In the previous fixture against Bosnia the full-back marking him, Dino Bevab, was taken off at half-time, virtually in knots.
Barcelona have no doubts they have the next big thing. Martinez believes if he gets it right with Deulofeu he could end up being one of the sensations of the second half of the season. The question is, does he try to make the second half of the season come early at Goodison on Saturday?
Was Germany's 'Miracle of Berne' cooked up in a lab?
Brylcreem? Check. Dubbin? Check. Liniment? Check. Amphetamines? Check. Reading Sid Lowe's Fear and Loathing in La Liga this week just as the Mighty Magyars mark the 60th anniversary of their 6-3 demolition of England at Wembley, one of the book's many remarkable stories comes to mind.
A year after trouncing England, that extraordinary Hungary side lost the 1954 World Cup final in Berne to West Germany in strange circumstances. Lowe spoke to the son of Zoltan Czibor, who played for Barcelona and for Hungary in the final.
"My dad told me that at half-time and with Hungary winning 2-0 the Germans took this drink that they used to give to the pilots who flew Stukas in the war so that they wouldn't feel fear," he said. "Hungary had beaten Germany 8-3 in the group. But the Germans came out for the second half flying. Some of them didn't know their own names."
Earlier this year, findings by Berlin's Humboldt University for Germany's Federal Institute of Sport Science supported the idea that the 1954 World Cup-winning team used the methamphetamine Pervitin.
The Germans are not alone in terms of the trickle of revelations questioning football's so-called age of innocence. In August, 1970s Dutch international Johnny Rep revealed that taking an amphetamine pill before a game was not unusual. And a new book published in the Netherlands – Guido Derksen's Voetbal Mysteries – also suggests the practice was commonplace.
The idea of doping in football prior to it being flooded with money is fascinating. And with every revelation, there is one question that remains: what were England up to while all this was taking place?

Marching Band News
Halftime Shows
How To Prepare For Your First Band Camp in College
Listen up Prospective Rookies!
June 29, 2016
By Staff
In 10 days most university bands will hold their first day of band camp and we want you to be ready for it. As a prospective rookie or first year member band camp in college can be both overwhelming and stressful. For some, you must still audition on day one to even try to get into the band. For others who have already auditioned, you'll be thrown into the deep end right away.
We brought our whole team together and brainstormed on the top pieces of advice we can bestow upon a rookie member on their first day of band camp.
Let's start with those that are going to audition on that first day:
1) PRACTICE! We know you've heard that from everyone, but seriously if you haven't been buzzing everyday and playing for at least 30 minutes you are already way behind other rookies. Here is a fun fact, when you arrive you won't be the best musician in the band. You may have been the best in your high school, but you will not be the best in your college band on day one of your first band camp. Now that we've told you that, go practice again.
You should have a senior level solo piece and your scales under your belt. You should also be prepared to sight read. You will absolutely be amazed at the quality of players that you will be up against and the best way for you to stand out is in your playing audition. On that note, go practice again.
2) Watch youtube videos of the band you are auditioning for. Pay attention to their marching style. Practice marching in your back yard in their style. Many universities have very different styles and not all only march 8 to 5. Learn to high stop and practice trying to play while high stepping. You don't want to be asked to high step and play at the same time and not know what you're doing. It is a big change from the roll step.
3) Bring valve oil and have your horn cleaned before you arrive. The worst thing in an audition is for someone to come in and have sticky valves and blame their poor audition on their horn. Don't be that guy.
Now for the rest of you who already know you're going to be marching in your college band and are preparing to be thrown into the fire on day one, here are our survival tips:
1) Don't be late! High school band instructors might not penalize you as much for being late or taking your time to get into position, but in college we have no time to waste. Be on time and be ready to go. Your job is to impress your squad/section leaders. Show them you are taking this serious. There will be plenty of time for fun. No one likes a late rookie.
2) Work on your cardio. Go for a run. Use these next 10 days to do some exercise outside. Get your body used to the heat and try to build your cardio up. In college band you will move through drill sets faster than in high school. You will be putting in 12-14 hour days and you will need to be able to handle that much exercise in the heat.
3) When you get time to drink water, DO IT! When you are given a 2 hour lunch break, EAT! If you have time to take a nap after the afternoon session, TAKE IT! Use your time wisely. You need to drink water, you need to eat and you need to sleep.
4) Speaking of sleeping, do not go out and try to enjoy college while you are on campus for band camp. You will have SOOOO much time to do that after camp is done. Go to your dorm, shower, stretch, learn your music and get a good night sleep. Trust us.
5) Make friends. College can be a huge overwhelming place and you are being given the chance to meet 200+ people before everyone else. Swap numbers, instagram handles, snapchat names or whatever you kids use these days and connect. Making friends right away will help cure any homesickness and make band even that much more fun!
6) Plan to eat with your fellow rookies in your section. You guys will be extremely close friends for the next 4 years you might as well start by eating meals together now. Coordinate these meals together and don't leave anyone out. Walk to the cafeteria or a local restaurant together or coordinate picnic lunches. Those were some of the best times together.
7) Bring an extra change of clothes everyday.
8) Don't do anything stupid. Show respect to your Directors, student leaders and fellow rookies. Everyone there wants to have a great time and enjoy band. If you don't like something talk to someone about it. Let your leaders deal with it.
9) Don't skimp out on buying band swag. You should wear it proudly around town and in class. It is cool to be in band in college.
10) HAVE A GREAT TIME! You are about to start the best experience of your young life and by golly you should enjoy the heck out of it. Take in every moment, take a thousand pictures, pull up a few blades of grass and keep them for yourself, do it all! This is your moment. After you graduate you won't have the chance to go back and do it again.

Arctic melting shows global warming serious: expert
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The incredibly rapid rate at which Canada's Arctic ice shelves are disappearing is an early indicator of the "very substantial changes" that global warming will impose on all mankind, a top scientist said on Wednesday.
Researchers announced late on Tuesday that the five ice shelves along Ellesmere Island in the Far North, which are more than 4,000 years old, had shrunk by 23 percent this summer alone.
The largest shelf is disintegrating and one of the smaller shelves, covering 19 square miles, broke away entirely last month.
"Climate models indicate that the greatest changes, the most severe changes, will happen earliest in the highest northern latitudes," said Warwick Vincent, director of the Centre for Northern Studies at Laval University in Quebec.
"This will be the starting point for more substantial changes throughout the rest of the planet.... Our indicators are showing us exactly what the climate models predict," he told Reuters in an interview.
Global warming is forecast to generate more damaging weather extremes such as hurricanes, cyclones and floods.
Vincent, who has visited the ice shelves along Ellesmere Island every year for the past 10 years, said the impact of higher temperatures this year was "staggering."
His team had estimated that the shelves would lose eight square miles this summer. The true figure was 83 square miles. Continued...

Sports of The Times; A Plan for Attaining More Fights in Hockey
By Ira Berkow
Published: February 18, 1991
An article in this section last week reported that individual fighting in hockey had taken on "added significance and visibility." Each team in the National Hockey League seeks what its officials call "specialists," though others refer to them as "goons." They are brawny gents who appear more comfortable hitting someone with a stick than skating with one.
Fighting continues as a major part of this sport, and it comes as no surprise to anyone who follows it even with the most casual eye, and that includes viewing the sports segment of some of the local newscasts that pander to the pugnacity.
More than a year ago a solution was suggested here for the problems in hockey. Many people say that there is too much fighting in hockey and not enough hockey. My contention was the reverse, that there was too much hockey in hockey and not enough fighting. While many hockey fans do indeed love watching the pure beauty and drama of skaters swiftly and smoothly in pursuit of an innocent puck, many more fans derive even greater pleasure when a fight breaks out and the hockey players commence to pounce on one another, instead of on the puck.
Lest some forget, the idea here was twofold:
(1) Remove the goal and net from the hockey rink, and (2) Call no penalties.
The goal just impedes the violence, because when a goal is made, and the red light goes on behind the net signaling the score, everything stops, except for the players on the goal-scoring team who then leap upon one another; but this pummeling is done in the name of happiness rather than wrath, so the general fan grows morose, even when his own team has scored.
And penalties result in the removal for a few minutes of some of the best sluggers. This also puts some fans into a state of deep gloom.
So the solution proposed was that players should simply be allowed to fly around the ice banging into one another and hitting one another over the head with their sticks, whichever strikes their fancy at a particular moment.
The team with the most players standing at the end of three periods wins the game.
It came to my attention recently that the National Hockey League has not taken up this remedy, so a few general managers of N.H.L. teams were called and asked to discuss fighting in hockey in general, and that idea in particular.
"You mean, no nets and no goals?" asked Gerry Meehan, the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres. "Just pure fighting? That's a ridiculous idea."
Ed Johnston, the general manager of the Hartford Whalers, upon hearing the suggestion, paused before answering. "No," he said, "I don't think so."
But Glen Sather, the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, laughed when he heard it. "I wouldn't want to be involved in it," he decided.
In The Times piece last week, Sather said he didn't think there was anything wrong with hockey today. "The buildings are full," he said. "It's an exciting game. If it's not broken don't fix it."
While Wayne Gretzky, the great N.H.L. star, agreed in his new book with Rick Reilly, "Gretzky, an Autobiography," (an Edward Burlingame Book) that fights bring a lot of people into the building, he went on to ask: "But how many people do they keep out of the building? I've met people in L.A. who say, 'Well, we don't go to the games because it's too violent.' "
Maybe for L.A., where some feel a fight is when you complain to the waitress about your bean sprouts. But in hockey, where a man is a man and a goon is a specialist, it's a different story. Gretzky forgets the hockey shibboleth of Conn Smythe, once the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs: "If you can't beat 'em in the alley, you can't beat 'em on the ice."
And Sather, meanwhile, is wrong; the game could use a little fixing. After all, the N.H.L. still pales, for example, in comparison to other major sports in attractiveness to the television networks.
And Meehan, Johnston and Sather agree, as do most of the executives in the N.H.L., that fighting is a necessary and appealing component of the game.
"It's a matter of intimidation," said Sather, "and the fans like it."
"If you see European hockey, there are no fights," said Johnston, "and it's boring."
"Fighting is part of the game," said Meehan, "but we have legislated a lot of the big brawls out of it, and some of the gratuitous violence. The fighting we have now relieves the frustration of the players, and doesn't detract from the spectacle."
That general opinion of those executives, that there's just the right amount of fighting in hockey, doesn't happen to wash here, nor does the obverse complaint by Gretzky that hockey "is the only team sport in the world that encourages fighting."
Some fighting continues to be one of the raisons d'etre for professional hockey, but all fighting would make this sport more alluring than ever for many fans, and might also really excite television sponsors.
And while Sather is correct in that the teams are already filling their buildings, he misses the point. More mayhem could compel them to build even bigger hockey arenas. And with no goals scored, and no red lights needed, they'd save on electricity, too.

Respectable Addictions
Four-thirty p.m. was the best part of Rick's day. After spending the day responding to "help wanted" ads, he could finally plant himself in front of the television to snack and watch those East Coast basketball games. On particularly depressing days during his year-long search for a job, he went with a friend to a pizza place to watch the games on the big screen.
Finally his wife, Linda, confronted him about his problem, "Sometimes I wonder if you're really looking for a job. It seems like all you ever do is watch sports."
"I watch sports to help me forget about it all, " Rick told her. "At least I'm not out getting drunk."
"But you forget about me, too," Linda pointed out to him.
"I have to," Rick replied. "I know you'll ask how the job hunt went. Nothing is working out, and I can hardly face you. It's easier to watch television."
When life's puzzle pieces don't fit so well, we sometimes find ourselves, like Rick, attaching too much importance to otherwise respectable activities. We use simple diversions such as watching television or reading or gardening more and more until our lives revolve around them. We promise others we'll cut back, but we don't.
It's shocking to realize that these feelings of neediness are similar to the ones a drug addict feels for drugs. Sure, watching too much television isn't life-threatening, but the dynamics are similar. At first we simply overuse or misuse respectable activities, but if our neediness becomes great enough we feel overpowered by them. Eventually we understand the apostle Paul's words better than we'd like: "I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out." (Romans 7:18)
Hooked on "Good" Things
When we're needy inside, nearly anything can become a crutch to us. After Kathleen gave birth to her second child, she slept more than usual because she was so tired. But as time passed, she began using the extra sleep to escape her pressures as a pastor's wife.
"Too many people needed me and I couldn't face them all. It was so peaceful to sleep -- no babies crying, no telephones ringing," says Kathleen. "I looked forward to naps and got angry if I couldn't have them. I quit praying -- it was easier to go to sleep and stop worrying."
That necessary task of shopping can also become an obsession. I'm not one to shop till I drop, but when I'm feeling low I sometimes find myself preoccupied with sale items or scouring the catalogs for bargains. When Bible study leader Craig tried to cut down buying books, he found that borrowing them didn't give him the same feeling of security. He liked knowing that they were on his book shelf if he needed them, displaying them and looking informed.
Even Christian ministry can turn addictive if used behaviors, when used to prop up our flagging self-esteem, become addiction-like. "I love my church and I feel guilty if I'm not at every church event," says church leader Gil. "I had to skip a leadership meeting to go my son's sixth grade graduation and I felt guilty! I have never asked anyone to fill in for the midweek small group I lead no matter how sick I've been. I don't want the pastor to think I'm not committed. I don't want someone to ask, 'So where is Gil?'"
Hyper-involvement in church activities is especially subtle because we confuse our desire to serve God with our desire to look good. Christian psychologist Peter Robbins, who has battled hyper-involvement as his family has grown, notes, "The hyper-involved are popular, they're loved, they're admired. But at home the family is asking, 'Where's my spouse?' 'Where's my mom or dad?' How do you argue with someone who's giving their life to God?"
One of my respectable compulsions is being hooked on productivity. Like workaholism, this isn't the love of hard work, but an inner neediness for the kudos that hard work brings. Doing significant things becomes my "drug of choice." This drive to prove myself by being productive has resulted in my:
Other times our must-do activities aren't so respectable, but we rationalize that they're much better than what we could be doing to escape. As Cindy's marriage of eighteen years crumbled, she read romance novels non-stop. "'What harm does it do?' I used to ask," says Cindy, a bank teller. "The books weren't pornographic. I wasn't watching TV -- I was 'expanding my mind.' I could consume a few chapters while I stirred the soup. When Christian friends told me these books were garbage, I said, 'At least I'm not out sleeping around like my husband is!'"
Facing Facts
Often it takes a crisis or confrontation to wake us up. Cindy stopped reading romance novels the day she came home to find her husband packing his bags. "The game was over and I had to channel my energy into putting the relationship back together. In real life, the hero was leaving the scene and I, the damsel, was sad. There was no romance writer to fix it."
Our wake-up calls are usually painful. The Old Testament prophet, Haggai, became unpopular with the Jews when he pointed out their I-never-have-enough attitudes: "'Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.'" (Haggai 1:5-6)
Giving careful thought to our behavior can reveal surprising sources for our drivenness. Jack, a pager salesman, was forced to look at himself and his love for jogging when he visited Peter Robbins for career counseling.
When Jack worked at it, he was the company's top sales representative, but he kept taking time off to jog. "Jack told me how his alcoholic father had always told him he would never amount to anything," Robbins recalls. "Jack loved his father and didn't want to disappoint him so he unconsciously fulfilled his father's prophecy by trying to fail. Jack skipped his scheduled sales calls and escaped by spending hours jogging."
Promising ourselves and others that we'll stop our compulsive behavior often does nothing but frustrate us. We have to look at what's going on inside ourselves and ask the tough questions: How do I feel, how does this feeling square with reality, and how can I realign it with the truth?
Gil says that behind his excessive church involvement is an unmet need to be valued. Craig discovered he needed those books to feel important. Both men felt unloved ad insignificant, but they realized that feeling didn't square with reality. They were loved by God and significant to Him -- and probably several other people.
Learning to realign our feelings with the way things are often involves a slow and difficult process. Knowing the truth that we are loved by God and significant to God means more than simply being able to talk about it. It's believing within the deepest parts that God loves us no matter what we do. Here are some ways to sort through feelings and absorb this crucial truth.
Talk about it with someone you trust. As I began to work through my problem with overeating, I often called a friend. "I've just downed half a bag of potato chips," I'd say. "I was feeling miserable." She would wisely ask me what triggered the negative feelings.
One time I explained that I'd just volunteered for a position that scared me. I asked her (and myself), "Did I volunteer because I want people to notice me or because this is what God is leading me to do?"
My friend's hugs, grief and laughter made it possible for me to hear and feel God's grace through her. I saw that she accepted me no matter what, and I began to believe -- really believe -- that God accepted me, too. The safety of this relationship helps me weed out my unhealthy motives and act on the healthy ones.
Accountability Rick looks to his wife for help with his TV sports addiction. "Several games will be on TV this weekend," he tells her. "I'll watch one, but no others." Then they plan how they'll spend together doing things we both enjoy -- walking or gardening or browsing at a farmer's market."
Gil handled his church activity obsession by clarifying his imagined accountability: "When I feel insecure and guilty about not showing up at church for every activity, I share that with my pastor. I tell him that I'm committed to the church, but that I can't possibly be there all the time."
Accountability is a simple application of James 5:16, "Confess your sins to each another, and pray for each other so that you may be healed." It works best if we don't confess to a fix-it person who slaps a mini-sermon on us and expects our drivenness to evaporate. When we know we've gotten ourselves off track, we don't need to be told again. We need someone to listen, to accept us and to ask gently, "What are you going to do about this?"
Conversations with God I often work through my feelings by going off by myself and talking it out with God. Sometimes my words are so slurred and my gestures so exaggerated that if the Old Testament priest Eli were alive and nearby, he would probably mistake me for a drunk as he did Samuel's mother, Hannah. Like her, I find release in "pouring out my soul to the Lord." (1 Samuel 1:15b).
God's presence is a good place to reveal our ugliest feelings and far-fetched conclusions. This is what King David did. Many of his Psalms begin with expressions of depression, doubt and even revenge (Psalm 6:6, 31:1, 55:15), but they end in praise. Likewise, when we feel free to be completely honest with God, His presence subtly forces us to look at our motives and bitter feelings. We sense that God sees beyond our childish behavior to us, His children who need His grace to keep on keeping on.
Journaling In the privacy of a journal we can admit our feelings -- that we need to be needed or that we need to feel in control of uncontrollable situations and people. The grammar may be garbled and the penmanship a mere scribble, but the feelings are usually honest.
In my journal, I address God directly. Sometimes I reread a paragraph and find I've blamed someone unfairly. Then I have to ask that important question, How does this feeling square with reality? I rephrase what I've written until I'm no longer blaming anyone.
Creative activity Cindy doesn't see herself as an artistic person, but in the loneliness of her marital separation when she felt the urge to read a romance novel, she sketched instead. Many times she drew a woman sitting in a corner alone in a chair.
"Even though I felt completely alone, I tried to picture the truth by penciling in a mist around the woman to represent God. I know that God loves me and has a purpose for me, but this helped me believe it."
Art, especially the pictures of Jesus hanging in my kids' rooms, helps me. I catch myself lingering before the picture of Jesus hugging a small child and this reminds me that I am not unloved and worthless. And when I'm terrified of a new task at work, rather than grabbing a Twinkie, I wander into my son's bedroom to look at the picture of Jesus directing a young boy steering a ship through a storm. For a moment, I admire the confidence in that young boy's face and I absorb the truth that I am not steering my life alone.
You may find that playing an instrument, listening to music, or doing crafts helps. In fact, any activity that you approach in a creative way can be absorbing and healing. Many people approach garden and cooking that way
Professional help When it's difficult to find a non-judgmental person who will listen or when specific direction is needed, counseling can be helpful. Support groups also help because there we find people to be accountable to who will understand our dilemma.
An Ounce of Prevention . . .
These tools help us renew our relationship with God and others and a blocked relationship with God lies at the core of many addictions. For Rick, watching sports replaced interaction with his wife and even with God, who didn't seem to be helping him find a job. Whatever we can do to relate better to God and others breaks our isolation and helps us become less needy.
Eventually we protect ourselves as soon as sense our neediness festering. We understand it as a sign to take extra time to talk things out with God, to share honestly with our spouse, to have fun with friends. In doing so, we inch closer to the goal of being preoccupied with loving and knowing God. In fact, that's what facing addicitions are about – our life with God. They're not just efforts at self-inprovement. Our bodies and souls were made to run on God, so that sports, food, acquiring things, or even busyness with church activities cannot take the place of a life with God. The tragedy of many church goers is that they become so distracted by marginal, mediocre activities that they are unable to enjoy the solitude needed to develop a relationship with God. Some, however, walk through a transforming process similar to the one described above and find themselves open for God to become their constant companion and center of life.
