When People Treat you Like you are Crazy, Stupid or FrustratingPosted by: | Comments
When people treat you as if you are crazy, it isn't because they think you are crazy, it is because they want YOU to think you are crazy.
When people treat you as if you are stupid, it isn't because they think you are stupid, it is because they want YOU to think you are stupid.
Their purpose or motive for the way that they treat you is actually about what serves them much more than it is the way that they see you. These people have a motive and it isn't a motive driven by love, it is a motive driven by the desire to have control.
Understanding this made all the difference in the world in my recovery and in overcoming the false definitions of "me" that had been put on me by abusive, uncaring, controllers and manipulators who felt entitled to treat me like I didn't matter. The ways that I was treated by these people communicated to me that they were more important than I was. Part of the way that they convinced me of my lesser value was through the subtle or obvious messages that something was 'missing' or 'wrong' with me and with my reactions to life.
When I was a child and my teacher yelled at me saying that I wasn't paying attention because I didn't have the right answer, and then she rolled her eyes and added that I was such a frustrating child, I reacted by trying harder.
I didn't like being shamed in front of the entire class. I didn't like the disapproval that was communicated to me. I didn't like the feeling that I was such a disappointment; as long as I was trying harder, the teacher felt like she was in control.
And as long as I was trying harder, she was in control… Read More→
Communication through Dreams in the Recovery ProcessPosted by: | Comments
It's never too late to say "Happy New Year!"
For me the whole month of December and lead up to Christmas and then celebrating a new year is an amazing time of year for me and for many reasons. As a young adult I dreaded Christmas as it was a reminder of my lacking and longing for love. Christmas was lonely. Some years it was scary.
Since I began my journey to wholeness, Christmas and the few weeks following New Year's has become a time to validate and acknowledge the wonder of life, the changes I've made and the things that I have accomplished. The holiday season has become about real love and real relationships and celebrating that love. January and the weeks following New Years are also about coming home to me and the journey of life. Christmas marks the end of one year and New Years marks the beginning of another and during this time of year I also celebrate and validate all accomplishments of the previous year and get ready for a new year welcoming the many more accomplishments and victories to come.
And some times when I am pondering all of this wonder in my life, I have a healing dream;
A few nights ago I dreamed a very vivid healing dream. I dreamt that I was a professional basketball player. I was playing a very intense game and the crowd was cheering wildly. I saw myself from the outside of my body and I was also aware of myself from the inside where my thoughts and feelings were. I was dreaming, but I was experiencing myself as the dreamer as well.
The lights were bright almost too bright. I was out of breath and very aware of how much I was perspiring and how warm I felt. I noticed a faint sheen of perspiration on my arms and on my upper lip. My hair felt damp. I felt good! I felt healthy and strong. Everything was loud; the crowd, the announcer, my coach, the other teams coach; there was this feeling of intense excitement. And I noticed the brightly lit score board; the game was tied!
In a flurry of activity, a lot of dribbling and passing and what seemed like organized confusion, I scored the winning basket!
For those of you who don't know, I am in my Read More→
Giving and Receiving in a Healthy RelationshipPosted by: | Comments
"It is only when we feel deprived that we resent giving to others. Self-care does not mean you stop caring about others; it just means you start caring more about you. Start thinking about yourself more and others less. Since you have a choice between taking care of someone else, or giving to yourself, try choosing yourself sometimes." The Right to Innocence by Beverly Engel
In a dysfunctional relationship, there is an imbalance in the way that each person is considered. In a relationship based on equal value, everyone's needs are considered. In a healthy relationship based on the true definition of love, everyone matters. I have tried very hard to teach and model healthy relationship in this website with the readers here.
Once in a while I post a request for donations at the end of a new article. This is the first time that I have ever posted a blog post about it on a main page about it. I hate asking for donations because sometimes I get nasty emails from people accusing me of doing this blog for money; I have been compared to 'abusers' because I asked for donations. This is very upsetting because for six years now, (three with this website) I have done everything to contribute to the healing of others without any thought to my own gain. And I have become aware that I discount myself in doing so. In order to ensure that 'other people' are comfortable, I have discounted myself, which is exactly what I did in the past with my relationships with my family and what I write about here in Emerging from Broken.
I have heard some bizarre things from people when I have requested donations at the bottom of a blog post. More than once people have said to me "well I WAS going to donate until you asked". (I have no idea what that means! When I don't ask no one donates!) Sometimes people stop commenting when I ask for donations. I posted a request for donations on facebook once and no one clicked the like button or commented, which is really odd because normally I get at least 80 likes per status update in the facebook page for EFB. The message that I get from this is that nobody 'liked' me asking for my needs to be met… and that also reminds me of the dysfunctional family system that I write about here in Emerging from Broken.
Very often people send me advice about how to change the website to a membership site that people have to pay for. But the thing is that I don't want to change the site; It works this way. It is free to ALL. It is helping people; whoever wants to access the information on it. I know that not everyone can afford to hire me to do one on one work, just like I know that not everyone who reads my work can afford to give a donation to it, but I want you to understand that free content is not free. I pay a webmaster monthly to do the security and back-ups and updates on this site. I pay for the auto responder and the hosting fees. The way that I developed this community was and still is intentional. I don't do it for me; I already know all this stuff. This is my gift to a hurting world. I am working on a Read More→
Brainwashing in Dysfunctional Family Systems and that deep down feeling of UnworthinessPosted by: | Comments
Every so often I get a comment that I just have to share with everyone because it is so full of the truth that can help so many others. This is one such time! This comment from Doren came in on my article "Survival Mode and an Alternate view of Narcissism." Doren has given me permission to re-print her comments for the sake of highlighting this very common concern;
Doren wrote: "All my life I've been in survival mode, barely able to make eye contact in public (in case people see the 'real' bad me I guess), trying always to please them, and if they have a problem with me they are right and I am wrong. It stems from this deep down feeling of badness in me—it's hard to admit, but this feeling of badness gets to where I think I'm evil or the devil himself and that I will go to hell when I die. This has caused me a lot of distress and I wonder if feeling such a degree of badness is normal?
Here is what I struggle with—that I'm the 'exception to the rule', that yes other survivors deserve healing and are essentially good but NOT me. Perhaps this just tells me how ingrained my sense of badness is.
I have no choice but to work to heal or to die. My entire life has been greatly diminished due to childhood. It hurts so much to see the extent of the damage, but inside I feel, to get better I have to face this. Essentially I have been in hibernation since about 15. And I have thought that this was because I am weak, bad, unmotivated, etc." Doren
I can assure you that this degree of 'feeling' is normal and even common. This is how we are brainwashed to become submissive and compliant. We are convinced that we are 'bad'. We are slowly persuaded that everything would be okay with 'them' if only we were not such a problem. Part of the problem is that we have been so convinced of their faultlessness that we forget to examine them or any of their actions. It doesn't occur to us that they don't abide by the rules of love and relationship that they demand we abide by. That is what 'brainwashing' is.
The definition of Brainwashing: (link from the free dictionary by Farlex)
1. Intensive, forcible indoctrination, usually political or religious, aimed at destroying a person's basic convictions and attitudes and replacing them with an alternative set of fixed beliefs.
2. The application of a concentrated means of persuasion, such as Read More→
On How to Become Your Own Best FriendPosted by: | Comments
Earlier this week I received a comment on the post "Thanksgiving and Gratitude ~ When the little voice rebels" and a commenter asked some excellent questions. Since I get questions like these frequently, I decided to answer them in this new post. Here is the paragraph from "Coffee" with her questions;
Coffee79 wrote: One area I struggle with is when that voice comes along I want to call someone, anyone to tell me this isn't the truth. When I tell myself that truth, why can't I believe it? Why does it mean more coming from someone else? My self-esteem will not stay consistent, and my therapist says I need to learn how to be my own best friend. I feel like I do work at it more than I used to, but how does someone become these things when they never had it? I do not have a healthy reference. I respond to this voice by telling myself it isn't true and I tell myself positive affirmations but I am not convinced. Darlene, how did you become your own best friend? How did you build your self-esteem without relying on the words others?"
Anyone who has been reading Emerging from Broken for any length of time knows that I find the answers by looking back to where the damage was caused and the messages I got and accepted about myself. I had to find out where my self-esteem went 'missing' in the first place. I know that's easier said than done and I am not minimizing the actual 'work' for one second but that was the first part of the work. Becoming my own best friend came later. I had to clear a new foundation on which to build my relationship with me, before I started working on becoming my own best friend and validating myself.
When I look back on my own life, I realize that I was 'trained' or taught (by words and actions, outcomes and circumstances) to believe that without certain people I would not survive. When a child's efforts are met with impatience there is a clear message communicated to that child. This message does not have to be communicated in words. It was only by finding out what that message WAS that I was able to overcome it. There were a LOT of false messages stuck in my belief system but the bottom line was that in the mind of a child, not being loved, 'good enough' or acceptable means being rejected and rejection means death. (I had to think deeply about this concept in my own life in order to relate to it. It isn't something that I understood just by hearing it).
Through looking closely at these messages that were communicated to me, I came to the conclusion that I associated not being approved of or not being "good enough" with death. MY DEATH. And the survival instinct is very strong and something I realized is that I was Read More→
The Roots of Self Blame and Blame SharingPosted by: | Comments
I was reading one of my own quotes today about my willingness to share the blame in the past and thought that it deserved to be expanded upon because it is a popular subject here on Emerging from Broken. Blame sharing or willingness to share blame seems to be especially difficult if we are dealing with it within our own families. 'Blame sharing' and 'blame sparing' both seem to be part of the problem and are stick points in recovery from neglectful or abusive childhoods.
Here is the quote: "When I started to try to figure out why I was such a mess, I found that one of the stumbling blocks in my way was that I was and had been willing to share the blame for everything that happened to me. I had been told that acceptance was the answer, and I tried to accept that something must be WRONG with me because "I couldn't accept," and I concluded that I deserved to carry the responsibility for the mistreatment I had suffered." Darlene Ouimet
I got thinking about the concept of "blame sharing", where it comes from, how it starts and what it actually means, and how I could communicate that information more clearly by showing exactly the way that I overcame blame sharing in my own process of emotional healing. As always I have to show how it got there in the first place in order to show how I overcame it.
When I talk about my willingness to share the blame for the treatment that I received I am talking about specific things that should never have happened to a child that I was willing to actually take a share of the blame for. I was willing to share the blame for things that happened to me when I was powerless over my circumstances; things that I convinced myself that I was NOT actually powerless over. There is a chain of events when a child is damaged. There are consequences to the messages that children hear and accept as the truth when Read More→
Why Setting Personal Boundaries is Not as Easy as it SoundsPosted by: | Comments
"I learned to set boundaries by realizing where they were missing in my life. I learned where they were missing in my life by seeing the truth about abuse etc. As long as my value was in question (by me as a result of the way I had been defined) I could not set boundaries." Darlene Ouimet
I googled the key words "setting personal boundaries" and the top info I found on it included understanding the abusers and not judging or placing blame on them because after all, we are all wounded souls! No wonder we have so much trouble healing from abuse! Oh it all sounds so lovely, but the truth is that I healed by setting ALL that aside after trying it that way for well over 20 years with the main result being that the depressions only increased and my boundaries got weaker. (see the links at the end of this post)
Have you ever thought about why setting personal boundaries is so dang hard in the first place? Here in Emerging from Broken, I always talk about how everything has a root. Depression starts somewhere. We are not born with low self esteem. And it is the root of both those things that makes setting personal boundaries so hard!
When I was defined as "not good enough" or "not worthy" by the actions of others in my life, it is understandable that I believed that definition of "me". And as long as I believed that the definition of me was correct, I didn't believe I had a right to HAVE boundaries. I didn't believe that I had a choice in my own life about what kind of treatment I had to accept. I didn't understand that I was being treated badly and that I had a right to say no to that treatment.
There was a root to why I had no idea Read More→
'Make better Choices' and other Directionless DirectivesPosted by: | Comments
This week I keep running across sayings, posters and quotes that I find frustrating because they are all sayings and directives that I believed in and strived towards for so many years. The problem was that in reality I was spinning my wheels and not really making any progress with moving forward and away from my struggles, depressions, and oppression. Today I see some of these sayings as "directionless directives". They sound great, ideal in fact, but they didn't actually HELP me.
They motivated me and inspired hope in me for about twenty minutes or even a few days before the familiar feeling of personal failure set in once again. I thought I was the only one who could not achieve the decisions these little sayings were meant to inspire.
For instance the directive "Stand up for yourself even if you stand alone"; No one ever empowered me to know how to do stand up for myself. No one actually even stood up for me. I was a victim in my own home for most of my life and as I grew into my twenties and thirties I tried to change the course of my life by trying to follow some of these directions but standing up for myself was not something I knew how to do or even felt that I had "the right" to choose to do. I had no idea where to even START standing up for myself.
My self esteem had to be repaired and restored first. I didn't know that I didn't actually deserve the disregard for my feelings that was my reality. In my victim mentality I thought that the way to emotional health was Read More→

Editor's Note: This is the fourth of four questions answered by Raiders Insider Paul Gutierrez. Each new question, or down, will be posted as gametime approaches.
A new era begins in Silver and Blackdom as the Raiders begin an exhibition season without Al Davis for the first time since the Kennedy Administration. General manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen are the new faces of the franchise, with Mark Davis' blessing, of course, and the product they've been assembling since January is on full public display for the first time today at 5 PT, against the Dallas Cowboys. The game will be televised live on ESPN and locally on KPIX Channel 5. Four questions, then, in the form of downs, facing fans and the Raiders heading into the exhibition opener at the ColiseumFirst downHow long will the starters play?
Second downOK, then who will NOT play?
Third downThen someone will pick up the slack, right?
Fourth down
Who cares about a practice game played mostly by guys that won't even be on the final 53-man roster?
Well, a guy chaperoning in a new era in franchise history, a 39-year-old guy making his debut as a head coach for the first time in his professional career. "I think (preseason games have) always been important and they're still extremely important," coach Dennis Allen said. "Any time you get (the players) and put them under the stresses of playing a real game -- and these games, they don't count as far as the standings, but they do matter, they matter to a lot of people -- it's good to see how guys react when those situations arise." So there.

If your Lido is as old as mine is it can be very challenging to keep it shiny. Most Lido 14 sailboats (unless they have been repainted) have a gel coat finish. Gel coat is a pigmented Polyester resin not a paint. It is sprayed into the original boat mold before the fiberglass is applied. Because it is not a paint, it requires a different process to be maintained. Special compounds are used to remove the oxidization that dulls the finish. You can usually find it at your local marine store. Using a polisher with a wool pad, then a synthetic pad work the compound until the oxidization is removed.
After polishing I decided take care of some unfinished business on the transom. A little scuffing, some tape and I'm ready to paint.
Happy Sailing!

The Former DA parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko has urged the party to cross-examine white dominance in the party's "brains trust". She called them "highly disconnected men callously strutting about social media like a law unto themselves".
Speaking via social media, the 36-year-old resident fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics raised alarm on the need for the DA to address racial issues in the party. According to her, the party ought to reflect on a culture that isolates black members and leaders.
Also See: Disposing Every White Person In South Africa Of Their Wealth Isn't A Solution To Racism – Gwede Mantashe
Commenting on DA leader Mmusi Maimane's anti-racism pledge, Mazibuko said a good public leader is one who is able to read and understand national mood and interrupt the conversation in a way that is productive and shows leadership"
She further suggested that the DA should reflect on hurtful and inaccurate internal party narratives that presume "white competence", while labeling black leaders products of the generosity of their white counterparts adding that the party was able to reach where it is now basically because of the many efforts black democrats made in areas that were formally hostile to the party.
"The liberal credentials of former National Party members are never questioned in this way. A political party that entered democracy with 1,7% of the national vote and today sits on 23% is not a party of converts. The racialized ideological name-calling must stop, and real conversations about what it means to be progressive in post-apartheid SA must begin.
"The DA should also reflect on hurtful and inaccurate internal party narratives that presume "white competence", while labelling black leaders products of the generosity of their white counterparts. It should consider that were it not for the efforts of black, fellow democrats working tirelessly in areas formerly hostile to the DA, the party would be nowhere near 23% today. A new narrative about working together needs to be nurtured in the party," she wrote.
The DA leader was said to have announced to the crowd that the party would not tolerate any member who happens to be a racist. He added that the party member would therefore be required to sign an anti-racism pledge.
"No DA member must be satisfied until we have fundamentally addressed the structural inequality in our society. We must build a society based on freedom, fairness and opportunity.
"And no DA member must ever turn a blind eye to racism, no matter how subtle or coded. We need to call people out on their behaviour, even when confronting them makes us feel uncomfortable. We have a duty to stand up and speak out for our values," Maimane said.
Also See: Former ANC Provincial Chairperson Back In Court For Fraud
Meanwhile, Ms Mazibuko criticized how some DA advisers suggested that "SA's 'obsession' with the politics of race distracts us from 'real issues' such as poverty and economic peril …. Any right-thinking progressive would not struggle to understand that the two are inextricably linked," she wrote. Mazibuko therefore called on South Africans to put aside racial prejudice and look towards facing some hard truths.

Smartlet: New Kickstarter Device To Replace Smartwatch
Unless you have been living under a rock these past few months, you probably know there is a battle going on in the new "wearable" mobile devices category- from eyewear to wristwear. Although not the first, Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch rekindled the interest to get a smartwatch out to market, as LG, Sony, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Qualcomm, etc. race to release a better device than what is already available…and let us not forget our friends at Pebble, who also have a smartwatch out.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
It looks like some fellows on Kickstarter have come up with their own version of a "watch" that you wear on your wrist, called Smartlet, and their solution for "syncing" to your smartphone – bypass the watch and simply wear your smartphone directly on your wrist – the heck with the "middle-person," go straight to the smartphone. I have to laugh, and I do apologize, but the Smartlet was designed by a self-proclaimed iPhone user that said:
"Ever since the iPhone was introduced in 2007, it has been our go-to device–always in our hands and on our minds. But, while over time the iPhone has evolved to become lighter and faster, nothing was being done to make it more integrated, useful, or wearable. The future wasn't coming fast enough, so we sought to create it."
I never knew that a smartphone was supposed to ever be a "wearable" device other than in my pocket or in a clip-on case. However, these guys felt that a wearable smartphone is cool – I sure wish I could wear my Galaxy Note 3 on my wrist. The pictures below will give you an idea how Smartlet works to hold your iPhone in place – either under or over top of your coat sleeve. It is a very simple device that allows you to easily remove your device so you can text message with two hands or make a private phone call, however, when you are done, you can quickly slide it back in place for that "on your wrist" experience. They said that, "the design was driven by three core goals: convenience, style, and security."
So far, there are less than 100 backers and they have raised less than $3,000 of the $30,000 goal with only 19 days to go. The estimated delivery date, if all goes well, is May 2014. For a $5 pledge you will get a "high-five," and for $29 or more you can get a "first-production-run" Smartlet in the color of your choice. For $39 or more, you get a "first-production-run" Smartlet, as well as one additional band in the color of your choice. It appears that it comes in black, white, and red to compliment your attire.
Let us know on our Google+ Page what you think about this concept – if one was ever made for your Android device would you consider purchasing one? Maybe I will have to purchase an iPhone just to use as my smartwatch.

To analyse the association between perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking required medical treatment and the contribution of socioeconomic disadvantage.
Data from the Swedish National Survey of Public Health 2004 were used for analysis. Respondents were asked whether they had refrained from seeking required medical treatment during the past 3 months. Perceived discrimination was based on whether respondents reported that they had been treated in a way that made them feel humiliated (due to ethnicity/race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability). The Socioeconomic Disadvantage Index (SDI) was developed to measure economic deprivation (social welfare beneficiary, being unemployed, financial crisis and lack of cash reserves).
Swedish population‐based survey of 14736 men and 17115 women.
Both perceived discrimination and socioeconomic disadvantage were independently associated with refraining from seeking medical treatment. Experiences of frequent discrimination even without any socioeconomic disadvantage were associated with three to nine‐fold increased odds for refraining from seeking medical treatment. A combination of both frequent discrimination and severe SDI was associated with a multiplicative effect on refraining from seeking medical treatment, but this effect was statistically more conclusive among women (OR=11.6, 95% CI 8.1 to 16.6; Synergy Index (SI) =2.0 (95% CI 1.2 to 3.2)) than among men (OR=12, 95% CI 7.7 to 18.7; SI=1.6 (95% CI 1.3 to 2.1)).
The goal of equitable access to healthcare services cannot be achieved without public health strategies that confront and tackle discrimination in society and specifically in the healthcare setting.
Access to healthcare services is an important determinant of health.1 However, access to healthcare services is conditioned by coverage2 and various factors including socioeconomic circumstances,1,3,4 care‐seeking behaviours and the behaviours of healthcare providers.5,6,7 Previous studies from the US and UK have demonstrated ethnic discrimination can limit access to healthcare services among minority ethnic groups.7,8,9,10,11 However, there is a scarcity of studies on the effects of other forms of discrimination on access to healthcare services and other determinants of health. In Sweden12 and the US13 racial discrimination has been associated with limited participation in the labour market and unfavourable socioeconomic circumstances. However, the modifying effects of socioeconomic disadvantage on the association between discrimination and access to healthcare services have been analysed less often.7 Generally, public health research on the effects of perceived discrimination on health and its determinants, including access to healthcare services, is still in its infancy in many European countries, particularly in the Nordic countries.
In Sweden, the commonly discussed forms of discrimination have been gender and disability. Recently, discrimination due to ethnic background, sexual orientation or age has come up in political debates. Currently, there are legislations against institutional discrimination (because of sex, disability, ethnic background and sexual orientation); however, there are no systematic mechanisms to monitor the occurrence of discrimination.13 More so, the effects of discrimination on health and its determinants are not well documented.
Sweden's public health policy is based on the principle of equality and care on equal terms for all irrespective of social position.14 In addition, Sweden has universal health insurance, where 94% of the healthcare system is publicly financed. The remaining 6% that is not publicly financed is related to non‐traditional alternative medical treatments or plastic surgery unrelated to medical problems.
A fundamental principle is that the healthcare provision and financing for the entire population is the responsibility of the public sector. The 21 county councils have the primary responsibility of financing, administering and delivering healthcare services to inhabitants. Thus, it is assumed that all Swedish inhabitants should be able to access the care that they need, regardless of class, gender, ethnicity/race, religion or disability.
Over the past 20 years, Sweden has changed from a homogeneous to a multicultural society, with about 20% of the population now consisting of immigrants from other countries. There are contradicting results on whether individuals born outside Sweden overutilise or underutilise the healthcare services.15,16 It should be noted that healthcare utilisation may be different from seeking required medical care.
In this study, we attempted to investigate the association between perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking required medical treatment. We hypothesised that perceived discrimination interacts with socioeconomic disadvantage to increase the odds of refraining from seeking medical treatment.
Data from the Swedish National Survey of Public Health 2004 were used for analyses. This survey was carried out by Statistics Sweden in collaboration with a number of healthcare regions and county councils in Sweden, and with the coordination of the Swedish National Institute of Public Health, Stockholm, Sweden. The total study population comprised a randomly selected sample of 33328 individuals (15406 men and 17922 women) aged 18–84 years. In Sweden healthcare fees are subsidised by the state, and are waived for people under 21 years. Therefore people under 21 years were not included in the analyses. In total, we investigated 14736 men (mean (SD) age 52 (17) years) and 17115 women (mean (SD) age 51 (17) years).
Data were collected within a 3‐month period during spring 2004, and was based on a postal self‐administered questionnaire linked to the registry data from Statistics Sweden. The response rate was 63%. Among those who did not respond, 1.9% of the questionnaires were returned due to wrong address or protected address, 0.7% could not participate because of various reasons, 1.1% declined, 0.6% returned empty (uncompleted) questionnaires, 0.5% of the questionnaires were completed by the wrong person and the rest did not respond at all.
The questionnaires were scanned and a dataset was established. Data from the completed questionnaire were further controlled for errors and inconsistencies using a well‐established method developed by Statistics Sweden and tested against the official registry data.18 Missing data were completed by the use of weighting procedures based on related answers from other completed questions, and by the use of weighting procedures based on calibration method developed by Statistics Sweden.17 Respondents were informed about data linkage with the registry data. This study was approved by the Department of Data Inspection, the Research Ethical Committee at the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare (20031208) and the ethical committee at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden (DNR 2005/1146‐31). The committees conformed to the principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.
Refraining from seeking medical treatment was based on the question "During the past three months have you considered yourself to be in need of medical treatment but refrained from seeking it?" Alternative answers were "yes" or "no".
The main determinant, perceived discrimination, was measured in the context of unfair treatment that results in feeling of humiliation or inferiority. This measure included frequency of and reasons for discrimination, which is a modified version of Williams et al.18 Frequency of perceived discrimination was based on the question "During the past 3 months have you been treated in a way that made you feel humiliated?" Alternative answers were "no" (none), "yes, once" (some) or "yes, several times (frequent)". Participants who experienced any form of discrimination were also asked to give one or more reasons that was/were attributed to this perceived discrimination. Alternative choices were ethnic background, sex/gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, other or don't know.
In an attempt to measure structural discrimination in this survey, we asked respondents who had reported any form of discrimination to indicate where this occurred. Alternative choices included private setting, welfare institutions, police and healthcare setting. In this paper, we focus on the discrimination experienced in healthcare setting.
We developed a Socioeconomic Disadvantage Index (SDI), which combines several indicators of economic deprivation to broadly describe the individual's underlying socioeconomic conditions. SDI was based on four variables: (1) being on social welfare at the moment of the survey, (2) being currently unemployed, (3) having a financial crisis (difficulties paying ordinary bills such as food or rent for the past 12 months) or (4) lacking cash reserves (difficulty to get hands on 15000 SEK (about US$ 1800) within a week if needed). All the four binary indicators were summed up, resulting in a range of 0–4 points. SDI was categorised as "none" (if the sum was equal to 0), "mild" (if the sum was 1) and "severe" (if the sum was between 2 and 4).
Age, living alone and educational level were analysed as confounding factors because these factors have been associated with perceived discrimination13 and not seeking medical treatment when needed.1
Living alone was based on family characteristics of being a lone adult in a household. Low education was defined as less than high school education (9 years of schooling). Living alone and education were potential confounders, as these were associated with both SDI and refraining from seeking medical treatment. Long‐term illness was based on whether the respondent had any long‐term illness, after‐effects from an accident or other ailments. Long‐term illness was also associated with discrimination, SDI and refraining from seeking medical treatment, thus being a potential confounder.
Analyses were performed using STATA V.9. We conducted three multiple logistic regression analyses to estimate the association between perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking medical treatment. In the first model we adjusted for age and in the second model we further adjusted for long‐term illness, education and living alone. In these two models, perceived discrimination and SDI were entered separately. In the final model, we adjusted for variables as in model 2 and simultaneously included perceived discrimination and SDI, in order to analyse their independent effects (table 22).). In the logistic regression analysis, we used the regression coefficients (standard errors) to obtain OR (95% CI).
We further quantified a possible interaction of effects between SDI and perceived discrimination by calculating the Synergy Index (SI). Calculation of SI has been recommended while studying interactions in social epidemiology.19,20 We assessed the interactions on the basis of departures from additive rates or risks, and the use of SI allowed studying interaction based on ORs from logistic models.21,22 Thus, we calculated SI and the 95% CIs using an excel sheet (available on request) developed by Hans Stenlund at the Department of Epidemiology, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.
Table 11 shows the distributions of study variables among men and women. In all, 15% of women and 13% of men reported refraining from seeking required medical treatment. Perceived discrimination was more common among women (30%) than among men (22%; table 11).). Women were more likely to report gender/sex (11% vs 2%) as the main reason for perceived discrimination, whereas men were more likely to report ethnic background (6% vs 4%) and religion (2% vs 1%) as the main reasons (table 11).). Women were also more likely to give unspecified reasons, whereas men were more likely not to know the reasons for discrimination.
A dose–response association between the frequency of perceived discrimination in general and refraining from seeking medical treatment was observed among both men and women (table 22).). After adjustment for age, long‐term illness, education and living alone, some perceived discrimination was associated with a twofold increased odds for refraining from seeking medical treatment (OR (men)=2.2, 95% CI 1.9 to 2.5, and OR (women)=2.0, 95% CI 1.8 to 2.3), while frequent discrimination was associated with an over fourfold increased odds (OR (men)=4.6, 95% CI 3.7 to 5.7, and OR (women)=4.2, 95% CI 3.5 to 5.0; table 22).). Further adjustment for SDI only reduced these odds ratios marginally (table 22).
A similar association was observed between SDI and refraining from seeking medical treatment (table 22).). Perceived discrimination and SDI had independent associations with refraining from seeking medical treatment (table 22).
Discrimination specific to the healthcare setting was associated with increased odds for refraining from seeking medical treatment (OR (men)=2.8, 95% CI 2.2 to 3.4 and OR (women)=2.1, 95% CI 1.8 to 2.4). These associations remained statistically significant after further adjustment for long‐term illness, educational level and living alone (table 22).
Further adjustment for country of birth minimally reduced the magnitude of the associations observed above.
The interaction effects between perceived discrimination and SDI on refraining from seeking medical treatment, after adjustment for age, are presented in infigsfigs 1 and 22.
Frequent experiences of discrimination were strongly associated with refraining from seeking required medical treatment even in the absence of SDI (OR (men)=5.6, 95% CI 3.4 to 9.1 and OR (women)=4.2, 95% CI 2.9 to 6.1). However, experiencing both frequent discrimination and severe SDI showed a clear interactive effect on refraining from seeking medical treatment (OR (men)=12, 95% CI 7.7 to 18.7 and OR (women)=11.6, 95% CI 8.1 to 16.6). The SI for the interaction effects was clear in both sexes, but especially in women (SI=2.0 (95% CI 1.2 to 3.2; fig 22)))) than among men (SI=1.6 (95% CI 1.3 to 2.1; fig 11)).
Among the attributes (reasons) for perceived discrimination, we found discrimination because of ethnic/racial background (OR (men) =2.5, 95% CI 1.8 to 3.5 and OR (women) =2.4, 95% CI 1.7 to 3.3), age (OR (men) =1.7, 95% CI 1.2 to 2.2 and OR (women) =1.4, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.7), gender/sex (OR (men) =2.4, 95% CI 1.4 to 4.2 and OR (women) =1.6, 95% CI 1.3 to 2.0), and religion (OR (men) =3.3, 95% CI 1.9 to 5.7 and OR (women) =2.2, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.1) to be associated with refraining from seeking medical treatment, after adjusting for age, education, living alone and long‐term illness. Further adjustment for SDI attenuated this association only marginally. Discrimination due to disability showed significant associations with refraining from seeking medical treatment among women (OR=1.6, 95% 1.2 to 2.2), but not among men. We did not find any statistical support for the associations of discrimination due to sexual orientation or non‐specified attributes with refraining from seeking medical treatment.
There were statistically significant correlations between different reasons for discrimination, but these varied with gender. Among men, discrimination because of gender was associated with that due to religion (r=0.12), sexual orientation (r=0.15) and age (r=0.12), whereas discrimination because of religion was associated with ethnic discrimination (r=0.20). Among women, age was correlated with gender discrimination (r=0.26), whereas ethnic discrimination was correlated with religion‐based discrimination (r=0.12). We found that 16% of men and 19% of women reported at least one of these six reasons (gender, ethnic background, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation) for discrimination, whereas 3% of men and 5% of women reported two or more reasons. In relation to refraining from seeking medical treatment, we found a dose–response association with a high number of reported reasons for discrimination. Reporting one reason for discrimination was associated with OR (men) =1.7, (95% CI 1.4 to 2.1 and OR (women) =1.6, 95% CI 1.4 to 1.9, whereas reporting two or more reasons was associated with OR (men) =3.2, 95% CI 2.1 to 4.7 and OR (women) =2.3, 95% CI 1.8 to 3.0 increased odds for refraining from seeking medical treatment.
Perceived discrimination was associated with refraining from seeking medical treatment independently of age, long‐term illness, low education and living alone. Perceived discrimination even in the absence of socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with threefold to ninefold increased odds for refraining from seeking medical treatment. The significant synergy effect of frequent discrimination and severe socioeconomic disadvantage on refraining from seeking medical treatment was more statistically consistent among women than among men. Perceived discrimination due to ethnicity/race, age, gender and religion was associated with refraining from seeking medical treatment. Perceived discrimination without any specified reasons was not associated with refraining from seeking medical treatment.
Results of this study support previous US findings on the association between racial discrimination and access to healthcare services.1,8,9,10,11
The fact that individuals who experienced discrimination even in a situation of favourable socioeconomic circumstances refrained from seeking medical treatment supports Sen's23 observation that "it is not so much what one has that is important but rather what one can do with what one has". Individuals who refrained from seeking medical treatment owing to perceived discrimination reported financial limitations and also other factors such as negative experiences in the health sector as the reason for not seeking medical treatment. We found that individuals who reported frequent discrimination were more likely to report previous negative experiences (38% vs 25% among women and 43% vs 20% among men, p<0.001) than those who did not report any discrimination.
It is worthwhile highlighting the gender differences observed in this study. Discrimination because of ethnicity/race, religion, age and gender was relevant for both men and women in relation to not seeking required medical treatment. However, discrimination because of disability was relevant only for women. This supports the recent Swedish report which demonstrated a larger number of women than men with disabilities who experienced discrimination in relation to social services.24 Additionally, the statistically significant effects of discrimination and SDI on refraining from seeking medical treatment among women (and not clearly among men), highlight the vulnerable exposures of gendered discrimination in relation to social divisions premised on power and authority.25,26 We also found that women were more likely to report discrimination because of gender (11% vs 2%) and age (10% vs 8%) than men, indicating discrimination among women based on multiple reasons. These results indicate that the predominant types of adverse discrimination based on race/ethnicity, gender and age are relevant even in egalitarian societies such as that of Sweden.
The results of this study should be interpreted in consideration of its limitations and strengths. First, the cross‐sectional design of the study makes it difficult to draw conclusions on causal relationships. Second, the outcome measure (refraining from seeking required treatment) is general and examines a broad group of people, but this measure may not be equated to the professional definition of needed care. Nevertheless, we found significant associations of poor self‐rated health and long‐term illness with refraining from seeking required medical treatment (p<0.001). Additionally, subgroup analyses showed that the association between frequent discrimination and refraining from seeking medical treatment did not differ among healthcare users for the past 3 months (OR (men)=5.8, 95% CI 4.4 to 7.6 and OR (women)=5.1, 95% CI 4.1 to 6.3) compared with non‐users (OR (men)=5.8, 95% CI 4.2 to 78.0 and OR (women)=5.5, 95% CI 4.2 to 7.4). This finding supports previously documented associations between discrimination and treatment delays after being in contact with a doctor.27 Third, the measure of discrimination based on "treatment that makes people feel humiliated" may not capture "discrimination" as a concept.28 However, we found that individuals who did not indicate any specified reasons for discrimination based on defined social constructs of ethnicity/race, religion, age, gender or disability were not more likely to refrain from seeking medical treatment than those who did not report any discrimination. We found statistically significant correlations between different reasons (types) for discrimination and a dose–response association between increasing number of reported reasons and refraining from seeking medical treatment. These findings indicate clustering of multiple types of discrimination in some individuals that may influence their decisions of seeking medical treatment. In fact, we observed that individuals who indicated unspecified reasons gave examples such as their looks, style or attitude as reasons for discrimination. We also found that socioeconomic disadvantage was not associated with indicating "other" unspecified reasons (p=0.10) or not knowing the reason(s) for discrimination (p=0.55). Fourth, the non‐response rate was 37% and included a large proportion of men, socially disadvantaged individuals and inhabitants in metropolitan areas. Thus, results presented here are probably an underestimation of the magnitude of true effects between discrimination and refraining from seeking medical treatment.
Fifth, because healthcare management and administration takes place at county council level, hypothetically this level may affect the individual probability of refraining from seeking medical treatment. However, we also ran multilevel logistic regression analysis29 with individuals at the first level, municipalities at the second level and counties at the third level, and found that the municipality‐level and especially the county‐level components of variance were very small (ie, very close to 0) in both men and women. The ORs for the associations between the individual variables and refraining from seeking medical treatment from multilevel regression analyses were almost identical to those obtained by single‐level logistic regression that did not consider the county and municipality levels (table available from authors on request).
The strengths of this study include the use of a large dataset that represents the normal population, and a generic measure of perceived discrimination addressing all groups in Swedish society. In addition, as recommended previously,18 the major social constructs, race/ethnicity, religion, gender/sex, disability, age and sexual orientation were specifically addressed as reasons for perceived discrimination. According to our knowledge, this is the first European study where the association between perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking required medical treatment are analysed simultaneously with socioeconomic disadvantage in a large population‐based sample.
We developed the SDI that includes economic hardships, position in the labour market and being unable to economically support oneself, which reflects both material standards and a broad perspective on socioeconomic circumstances. We have validated the SDI measure and found moderate internal reliability.30 We also found consistently significant associations between SDI and lack of access to dental care services independent of educational and occupational status. Thus, this index seems to indicate substantial policy implications and reflects a broader understanding of one's socioeconomic circumstances than using single measures of socioeconomic position, which has recently been criticised in health research.31,32
The fact that individuals who experienced both discrimination and socioeconomic disadvantage had the largest odds for refraining from seeking required medical treatment raises key equity issues in health policies in Sweden.33 This is because the Swedish healthcare system is almost entirely publicly financed and delivered on the basis of equity principles of "care on equal terms".34 Findings on statistically significant associations between general perceived discrimination and discrimination specific to healthcare setting and refraining from seeking required medical treatment have implications on policies and strategies geared towards minimising discrimination. Results suggest that discrimination occurring at micro and macro levels in the Swedish society seem to influence people's choices for seeking medical treatment, which may cause worsen health in the long run. As demonstrated previously, discrimination is associated with choices regarding seeking care and also with treatment delays, partly due to the lack of trust in healthcare.27
The findings in this study call for a public health strategy that highlights and tackles perceived discrimination in order to enhance equitable access to medical treatment and other healthcare services.4,6,35,36 Thus, society‐wide interventions to counteract bias, prejudice and unfair treatment in society are needed. In addition, healthcare‐specific interventions such as training of healthcare providers and inclusion of ethics training focusing on social justice and human rights in medical and nursing training curriculum would be useful.27,36,37,38,39
In conclusion, perceived discrimination is associated with refraining from seeking required medical treatment independent of socioeconomic resources. The goal towards "care on equal terms" cannot be achieved without specific public health strategies that confront and tackle discrimination in society and specifically in a healthcare setting.

CPU usage goes up for severely for every little thing
Hi, I'm suffering a problem with my computer, the CPU is getting used up for every little thing, far beyond what it is suppose to. Example: A year ago, when i got the computer, it could run Paint dot Net with 5-10 cpu usage, NOW it goes to 40-80 cpu usage,and YESTERDAY it was 40-60, so it's getting worse rapidly and i'm out of ideas. This problem is not just for Paint, it's for every thing even moving windows across the screen. BUT the CPU usage isn't high all the time, it rests at 0-5 when idle(I'm not doing anything)
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
AMD Phenom II X4 945, 8.0 GB Ram, Nvidia Geforce gtx 550 ti, Running on High Performance Power setting(problem is worse on Balanced)
Random Possibly Relevant stuff:
My computer is 100% capable of running Directx 10-11, (I know cause my brother has 100% identical computer except he has a WORSE graphics card, and he runs BF3 perfectly), BUT my computer can't run Directx 10-11, for some unknown reason(10 fps), but is should, and it runs DX 9 perfectly, and sometimes within the last 60 days, i have had random sessions of low FPS in games, which goes away when i restart the computer, I HAVE run 3 AVG Full Scans on My computer and has come back with nothing, the virus vault is empty, malwarebytes anti-malware has come back with nothing, ran Scan disk and nothing, defragged,BUT only odd thing about the defrag, was that i can't defrag some files, and they all say system volume information, and after research, ive found out that that has something to do with restore points.
Any help, will be appreciated.

Morning Everyone, I am having an usually difficult time installing Windows on my upgraded PC. I replaced my motherboard, CPU and ram last night and spent hours pulling my hair out. I have built tons of systems over the years, and although the few I have done with RAID arrays can be a...

Windows speech recognition now misinterpreting severely
The problem I am having is with Windows speech recognition. I am running Windows 7 64-bit. Actually the issue is that a home automation software, Home Seer, uses Windows speech recognition for its speech control. This used to work beautifully. Suddenly the issue was extremely poor word recognition....

Windows 7 random CPU usage and high physical memory usage!!!
Ok, I am literally KILLING myself over this! I installed Windows 7 64Bit over XP around a month ago and it was so good that I recommended it to my brother who was previously on XP too. We got him a copy of the 32bit version as he has only 2gb of memory, and he installed it on his machine....

When we ran out of excuses not to leave, we finally had to say goodbye to Henry County for another six months and head north to Alaska.
It was especially difficult to leave this year. Gardens were coming on, the fruit trees were bearing, and the fish in the Kentucky River kept calling our names. After being delayed two weeks due to automobile problems; we loaded up the vehicle and began our 4500 mile trip to North Pole, Alaska.
We are often told that, if our lives are to matter, we must be selfless, always putting others first. It's good advice, but being selfless in a healthy manner is possible only when a person knows him/herself.
Be selfish. Take some time to think about yourself; figure out who you are. Only then can you be a person capable of putting others first.
In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Polonius gave his son Laertes good advice:
This above all: to thine own self be true,
Dealing with Type 2 diabetes can be difficult at any age, but it can be especially troubling for teenagers, who must also deal with the pressures of youth including self-image and self-worth. As a parent, you can do simple things to make managing this disease easier for your teen and your entire family.
Obesity is one of the leading causes of Type 2 diabetes. Helping overweight teenagers with diabetes reach and maintain a healthy weight may help them feel physically and mentally better and may improve their glucose, or blood sugar, levels.
Editor's note: Next week, we'll take a look at the 2012 Spring Sports for Eminence High School
Another season of high school sports has ended and it's time to take a look at some of the highlights of the spring sports teams from HCHS.
Here are my picks for the top five highlights of the spring sports season.
HCHS Baseball
Henry County Baseball turned their season around and made it to the semifinals of the regional tournament again.
On March 1, I started my annual ritual of getting back into shape after a winter of hibernating.
It was not easy. The first few runs were painful and I had issues with my 30-year-old bike. But I persevered (and got a new bike) and the exercise became easier. At some point I decided to turn the exercise into training for a duathlon.

On the Dempster, you can see if another car is coming about 10-15 minutes into the future because you can see the road that far ahead. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. But not by much!
I like these "knuckle mountains" as I call them.
See how the road kind of hates your tires?
Deeper and deeper into oblivion…
Northwest Territories was VERY, VERY, VERY, Windy. Not very warm at all, and that was in June.
Oh my look at the traffic Jam.
Apparently driving the Dempster gives you amazing opportunities to view wildlife. However we hardly saw any at all, and that is why I must go back.

Ever played a game of golf? So, you must be aware of the importance of a Golf range finder. There are some gadgets used to make the game easy. The well-known site gadgetsgolf.com talks about the useful gadgets in a lot of depth. There are plenty of facts we do not know about golf, www.golfsmith.com will give you a daily dose of those unknown facts. Golf is a super interesting game. You should be patient and calm to play this game. You require a lot of experience as well.
Golf GPS rangefinders are mainly of two types. One is Laser range finder, and the other is GPS range finder. Both of them work incredibly well. It is impossible to doubt the accuracy of the two Golf GPS rangefinders. Laser range finder maps the entire field and measures the distance, range and other important things about the field. The measurement of the field is mapped in the laser range finder. The laser range finder is an immensely useful device. The laser range finder helps you to gauge the distance of the goal or target. The laser range finder makes it easy to determine the distance to and from certain points on the golf course like that of green and rest.
The laser range finder helps the players to analyze the quality of their practice. When the player wants to hit the ball with the club, this laser range finder helps him to decide the strength he should apply to the club to hit the ball. The laser range finder has changed the quality of practice. The player can keep track of his performance. The laser range finder throws a beam of the laser on the objects on the golf course. This helps to trace the objects on the golf course. Laser range finders are useful gadgets and can help you a great deal provided you know how it functions. Laser range finder has a high-speed clock in it which works exceptionally well.
Golf GPS rangefinders are the devices which help the player in accurately calculating the distance to some points on a golf course. Golf GPS rangefinders can be a separate device, or they may be a software that one can install on a smartphone which has GPS features. Though, laser range finders and GPS range finders have the same purpose. They help you determine the yardages to the goal. Initially, when GPS or Global Positioning System was introduced in the world of Golf, it did wonders and brought about many changes in this game. The Golf GPS rangefinders and the laser range finders are essential tools for the golf players. Playing golf without the rangefinders seems impossible.
Almost all golf players have one or the other type of Golf range finders. Global Positioning System has improved a lot, and in the coming years, it will improve more. The range finders which are installed in the smartphones can talk and guide the player about his next steps to be taken. Range finders can help change a game.

In today's Republican nominee hypocrisy file…
- Donald Trump says he's committed to "ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes." Yet purported billionaire Trump is dodging taxes on the new luxury hotel he's opening in Washington D.C.. Nightly room rates at Trump International Hotel range from $895 for a basic single to $20,000 for a "Presidential" three-bedroom suite.
- Trump has promised to punish companies that ship jobs overseas. Yet Trump's running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, "has approved $24 million in incentives to 10 companies that sent work to foreign countries." The Indy Star calculates that the incentives were supposed to create 1,087 jobs in Indiana but that the ten recipient companies' offshoring is costing Indiana 3,820 jobs.
- Trump and the Republican spin machine are chortling over Anthony Weiner's ongoing marital infidelity. Yet millions of good Christian Republicans remain committed to voting for their openly adulterous and twice divorced Presidential nominee.

When Emily and I bought our house in 2007, there was a birdhouse hanging from a nail in the ceiling of the basement. This past spring, for the first time, we put it out in our backyard. And then one Saturday in late June this past summer, Toby and I discovered an amazing thing: some birds had moved in. And they'd had babies. And that afternoon, the mom was feeding them.
This video is pretty long, as these things go; it clocks in at just over seven and a half minutes.
In Web years, that's like Roots. Or The Civil War.
We were so excited. We took two of our lawn chairs and set them up so that they were facing the birdhouse; we put them what felt like a respectful distance away. And then we sat and watched the mommy bird—or the bird I assumed was the mommy bird—bring her babies food, and take away strange white bits that to me looked like eggshells.
I should add that it was me who thought it was the mommy bird, not Toby. As he and I talk about, about five minutes in, Toby thought the mommy and the daddy were alternating, one bringing their babies food and then the other.
Which I'd like to think is a testament to who Emily and I are as parents.
Does this need editing? Most likely. You probably don't need to watch this bird feeding her babies (or birds feeding their babies) for all seven and a half minutes to understand how beatific it was to spend a Shabbat afternoon sitting and watching this happening just a few feet away from us in our backyard.
The sad part of the story is that I had the mistaken idea that this would be our family hobby for the whole summer—that we'd be able to enjoy our own private bird theater all summer long.
But the very next day, they were gone. The birdhouse was completely abandoned.
What were the white bits she kept removing? Was she feeding and relocating at the same time? Was she scared? Did we drive them away with our proximity?
The video is amateurish—a hand-held Flip, unedited—but I'm glad I have this evidence. We bemoan the fact that we all distance ourselves from merely experiencing something with these devices that we hold between our bodies and the reality in front of us. But sometimes it's nice to have a record: Look. This actually happened. I saw this. It was right in front of me.
Happy new year, friends.

Sebastian Bach Was Asked to Join Motley Crue?
Singer reveals he was once considered to replace Vince Neil.
For many Motley Crue fans, the sacking of Vince Neil in 1992 remains one of the low points of the band's career. His replacement, John Corabi, is often derided by followers of the band, who were more than happy when Vince Neil returned to the fold in 1997.
As Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach has revealed, however, it could have been a very different story. HenneMusic is reporting that, in a recent Q&A session on Twitter, Bach reveals that he had been considered as the original replacement for Neil, but ultimately turned it down.
When asked by a fan if he had ever been considered to replace Neil, Bach's answer was succinct: "Not considered. Asked." In a series of follow-up questions, the singer offered his reasons for turning down Motley Crue: "The short answer is that I actually thought at the time this band Skid Row was better," before adding, "Gee I sure know how to pick 'em."
Strangely enough Vince Neil and Sebastian Bach had previously shared a stage, the singers fronting an all star band for a rendition of Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989. Whether or not Bach's addition to Motley Crue would have changed the fortunes of a Neil-less version of the band, we can only speculate...
What do you think? Would Sebastian Bach have made a good replacement for Vince Neil? Or is the only true Motley Crue the classic Vince, Mick, Nikki and Tommy line-up? Let us know in the comments.

Greg Abbott Urges Gun-toting New Yorkers to Point Their Wagons Southwest and Move to Texas
"Wooooohoooo howdy you Yankee commies! You like guns, but hate living in New York? No problemo! Down here in TEJAS we gots buttloads of land, enough beef to make your 'veganese' neighbors knit a harmony quilt outta Janeane Garofalo's leghair, and freedom. Lots and lots of freedom. Like a gushing faucet of freedom."- Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, presumably.
After New York passed wide-ranging gun legislation earlier this week, Abbott rebranded himself as AG of Tourism, and took to Facebook. The ad to the right is just one of the Facebook ads currently popping up on the screens of New York residents this week. Another reads, in Olde Tyme, Wild West font:
"The ad is inviting New Yorkers to come to Texas because we believe that the Constitution is sacred, and there to protect Americans from whimsical and knee jerk reactions by political leaders," Eric Bearse, an Abbott spokesman, told the Daily Beast. "And obviously citizens of New York are facing the prospect of further restrictions on the ownership of firearms…We believe it is never good a thing when politicians try to take advantage of a tragedy when the results is the trampling of constitutional rights."
The ad is strange to out-of-staters, sure, but it's clear that Abbott isn't really trying to lure New Yorkers to Texas. What he's trying to do is become governor in 2014, provided the ol' chard sack doesn't run again. This (along with many, many photos of him with dead animals) just helps the gun-toting, liberal-hating image.

Conley, Grizzlies hold off MagicFeb 1, 2011 - 6:53 AM Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Mike Conley scored 26 points and dished out 11 assists as Memphis staved off Orlando's fourth quarter comeback to win 100-97 at FedEx Forum.
Marc Gasol chipped in with 19 points and eight rebounds for the Grizzlies, who are over the .500 mark (25-24) for the first time since the third game of the season. Greivis Vasquez added 14 points while Rudy Gay notched 13 points and seven boards in the win.
Zach Randolph, who had 10 points and nine boards, was one rebound away from his 15th straight double-double for the victors.
Dwight Howard had 25 points and 14 rebounds while Jason Richardson scored 18 for the Magic, who have lost two of three and three of five overall. Hedo Turkoglu and Brandon Bass each had 13 points in the losing effort. Bass injured his left leg late in the third quarter.
"He's a big guy and one of the best in the league," Gasol said of Howard.
The Magic made it a tight game during the final quarter thanks to a 12-0 run started by Gilbert Arenas' layup just a minute and a half in. Arenas then hit a jumper with 7 1/2 left to conclude the run and make it an 88-86 game.
The Grizzlies responded with the next four points to claim a six-point lead. The edge was back down to two points, 96-94, with 2 1/2 minutes left following Howard's reverse layup.
It remained a two-point contest until Arenas made 1-of-2 from the free throw line with 39 ticks left.
Down 98-97 with 20 seconds left, however, Turkoglu's three-pointer was off the mark and Conley was fouled after grabbing the loose ball.
Howard, showing his frustration, received a technical foul and Randolph made the resulting free throw. Conley, though, just made 1-of-2 of his foul shots to give the Magic hope, trailing 100-97 with 5.5 seconds left on the clock.
However, Richardson's desperation three with time running out was way off mark.
"We'll (defend) at times. Right now, we're not ready to contend because we don't defend hard enough for long enough," Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy said. "We're going to see if over the next 10 1/2 weeks if it will change. If it does then we have a chance to be as good as anybody and if it doesn't then we don't. It's pretty simple to me."
Orlando jumped out to score the game's first seven points and held onto a 28- 21 lead after a 63.2 shooting performance in the first quarter. The Magic had a 58-54 lead at intermission.
Orlando held onto a slight lead early in the third quarter, however, Conley's three-pointer with 7:22 to go sparked a nine-point burst by Memphis to go up 76-66.
The hosts' edge grew 12, 86-74, at the end of the third frame.
Game Notes
Memphis' O.J. Mayo did not play because he is serving a 10-game suspension for violating the NBA's Anti-Drug program...Orlando's J.J. Redick did not play because of a shoulder injury...The Magic hold a 17-13 advantage in the overall series but have a losing road record (6-9) against Memphis...Lionel Hollins surpassed Mike Fratello as the team's all-time leader in coaching victories (96 wins)...Arenas finished with 10 points, while Ryan Anderson provided 10 points and seven boards in the loss...Sam Young chipped in 10 points for the victors.
